                                         Hulk Hogan might say something racist
                                         
                                         or something, but Macho Man's dead.

                                         She said, don't say that anymore.

                                         you can't disprove something that didn't happen.
                                         
                                         That's right.
                                         
                                         Or what, like, I forget what it is.

                                         and then the memories that are calling her are the memories of her mother.
                                         
    
                                         And then she gets the new dress.

                                         I was going to be in Thundercats.
                                         
                                         It was Thundercat, or no,
                                         
                                         Thunderbird or something. It was like a secret.
                                         
                                         They were like, don't tell your agent.
                                         
                                         And I immediately called my agent.
                                         
                                         Do you think there's any
                                         
    
                                         actor out there that demands that they
                                         
                                         are all the different languages and they just have
                                         
                                         the lines said to them phonetically?
                                         
                                         So
                                         
                                         I will be in every
                                         
                                         language. It would be so hard. I don't think
                                         
                                         Keanu Reeves wants to do that.
                                         
                                         I think Keanu Reeves has better things to do
                                         
    
                                         than to voice
                                         
                                         the North American version of Toy Story 4.
                                         
                                         What's your favorite thing about Keanu Reeves?
                                         
                                         I like that I've heard that he, on The Matrix, he bought everybody a motorcycle.
                                         
                                         Which is a pretty cool thing to have and or just a good story to have before you sell a motorcycle.
                                         
                                         I like how good Keanu Reeves is acting with tennis balls.
                                         
                                         So, oh, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         He's one of the first people that wasn't mad that there was a tennis ball doing the lines.
                                         
    
                                         So I remember listening.
                                         
                                         So he was really good about like, hey, deliver all your lines to this tennis ball in front of a green screen.
                                         
                                         He's like, no problem.
                                         
                                         And then I've been on set with people being really mad that they're talking to a tennis ball and then I
                                         
                                         was like Keanu Reeves wouldn't be mad
                                         
                                         at a tennis ball so that's why I like him
                                         
                                         what makes you so freaking

                                         with fans and he's got their arm around them but he's not
                                         
                                         touching them yes that's what I
                                         
                                         would do yeah

                                         I thought that sounded like a midget wrestler or something like that.
                                         
                                         Like, Lord Beaverbrook.

                                         But he was like a small guy wrestler.
                                         
                                         He was just like, I am Lord Beaverbrook. anyway no that's where that's where you went to school that's amazing

                                         43.
                                         
                                         So that, like I, I went to, I had my first one at 33.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Uh, so I, like a few months ago I went to a trampoline, uh, whatever playhouse with the kids and we went on the trampolines and I was like, oh my God, I'm, this hurts so much.
                                         
    
                                         Imagine if I had had kids later, like having to do this stuff.
                                         
                                         I rolled my ankle at a trampoline house and then I went to physio for like a month.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Cause I went to a trampoline and now I just have like, I go to phys all the time i fucked up my neck doing go-karts yeah that was a hard one to go to physio and explain how
                                         
                                         because you were just looking behind because you were just winning because when you get the blue

                                         I think I've seen all of them.

                                         And there's a big kind of dip from number one to number two,
                                         
                                         because number one has Arnold Schwarzenegger,
                                         
                                         and then number two has Danny Glover.
                                         
    
                                         And Danny Glover was 15 years after he was too old for this shit
                                         
                                         and used a weapon.
                                         
                                         And now he was too old for that, and then a Predator And now he was too old for that. And then a predator comes.
                                         
                                         It was the best.

                                         I was on vacation
                                         
                                         This is my vacation week
                                         
                                         Yeah, you're slipping sliding
                                         
                                         And what I do when I vacation
                                         
    
                                         Is I go to Abby's parents' house on Gabriola Island.
                                         
                                         Far, far away from here.
                                         
                                         Two ferry trips away.
                                         
                                         And away from the hustle and bustle.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It's not like you get there and then it's, oh, more grind.
                                         
                                         No, it really is away from it all.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         And they have a wonderful house on a beach.
                                         
                                         And we did a lot of kayaking.
                                         
                                         I was,
                                         
                                         there was a seal in the water near me when I was kayaking.
                                         
                                         That's pretty good.
                                         
                                         It was,

                                         Oh, that sounds good.
                                         
                                         It's 25 here right now, but it feels like 30.
                                         
                                         I don't know what that means.
                                         
                                         Today is the first... You have a heat dome
                                         
                                         as far as I understand.

                                         heat dome. We did a year ago.
                                         
    
                                         I don't think this counts as one.

                                         to make it warmer. No, that's the opposite of what we want.
                                         
                                         We had a, today is the first day where it feels like running the air conditioning is winning.

                                         It's raining.
                                         
                                         He's like,
                                         
                                         nah,
                                         
                                         this happened.
                                         
                                         And like,
                                         
                                         we were in Calgary and it was like really coming down.
                                         
    
                                         And then we found out when we got home that it was like a tornado warning.
                                         
                                         But he just was like, it is nothing.
                                         
                                         It's nothing compared to the rain.
                                         
                                         You are nothing.
                                         
                                         I'll warn you.
                                         
                                         I'll end you.
                                         
                                         We still have to finish our walk.
                                         
                                         Get in my heat dome.

                                         So yeah, I had a nice week off very relaxing
                                         
                                         A house with
                                         
                                         Four dogs
                                         
                                         Two of whom are under two years old
                                         
                                         Or three of whom are under two years old
                                         
                                         So craziness
                                         
                                         So it was a little bit chaotic
                                         
    
                                         On that front but I was able to like
                                         
                                         Sleep in till nine.
                                         
                                         Nice.
                                         
                                         What's, what's the, um, swimming situation for the dogs?
                                         
                                         Uh, the dogs are into it, but not like crazy about it.
                                         
                                         They're like, they're not freaked out by going in the ocean.
                                         
                                         It was nice.
                                         
                                         Cause like you, you, the, I don't know how tides work, but they seem to come in every day at about five.
                                         
    
                                         Something with the moon.
                                         
                                         I think it's the moon.
                                         
                                         But it's not the same every day.
                                         
                                         I guess it's because the moon isn't like exactly 28 days.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         There's some kind of station on the moon that pulls up the water.
                                         
                                         Yeah.

                                         I mostly play whatever is in front of my kids.
                                         
                                         Right now, I have a one-year-old, so I get a bunch of markers and put them on the floor.
                                         
                                         Then I have a juice bottle that I've taken the top of, and then he puts all the markers in the juice bottle that doesn't have juice in it.
                                         
                                         Then I pour all the markers out, then he puts them back in again that sounds pretty good that's challenging
                                         
                                         yeah not easy he's really good at it i don't think i get it um so i the the day before we left i was

                                         we don't understand that cat that's not funny puzzle um and uh this is the first time oh you
                                         
                                         know what last time actually never mind last time i went to Abby's parents' place, I didn't finish the puzzle.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         And I just gave up and I left it there.
                                         
    
                                         But this puzzle was very hard.
                                         
                                         And I also did.
                                         
                                         The Garfield one?
                                         
                                         Yeah, the Garfield one was very hard because there's so many, like, the realistic dogs that are painted.
                                         
                                         Painted ones are just like, there's so many so like the realistic dogs that are painted painted ones
                                         
                                         are just like there's so many textures right the whole outside of it was a picture frame so it's
                                         
                                         all the same oh yeah colors along the outside so that took a whole day wow and then the uh
                                         
                                         the dogs the the the textures of the fur looks so similar.
                                         
    
                                         So I did not finish this puzzle, but I got far, far enough.
                                         
                                         And I liked it enough that I, I did something that I've never done before.
                                         
                                         I packed it up in like almost finished pieces and put it back in the container and brought it home.
                                         
                                         And I'm going to finish this puzzle at home.
                                         
                                         You don't have a RoloPuzz?
                                         
                                         I actually do, but I don't like the texture of it
                                         
                                         because it's hard to slide the pieces along it.
                                         
                                         Now, we all know what a RoloPuzz is,
                                         
    
                                         but maybe for the listener.

                                         i liked puzzling and i actually um one recent development over the past month and a half is over the past couple of years, I realized that I don't like puzzles.
                                         
    
                                         I actually don't like reading books anymore.
                                         
                                         And then a couple of months ago, I just realized that things were fuzzy and I couldn't see things properly.
                                         
                                         So I was obviously dying.
                                         
                                         And I have a brain aneurysm that's forming in my brain but

                                         Thanks.
                                         
                                         Don't mind if I do.
                                         
                                         And then he drinks this cup and the vet says uh congratulations mr arbuckle you're gonna
                                         
                                         give birth to a fine healthy litter of puppies oh no and garfield says i hate puppies
                                         
                                         so it's dog jizz to me to confirm what a narcissist like garfield doesn't even care
                                         
                                         that his owner drank jizz and he's just
                                         
                                         like i don't how does this affect me i thought you were gonna say john was a narcissist just
                                         
    
                                         assuming this cup of dog semen is his coffee right of course that's true they're all narcissists
                                         
                                         now if this if he's drinking coffee then what am i what am i jizzing into yeah i side note sidebar uh but i was just remembering

                                         The guy just knew he would sell a hundred pizzas that night at $5 for,
                                         
                                         for a small pizza.
                                         
                                         Uh,
                                         
                                         uh,
                                         
                                         but one time my girlfriend was visiting me
                                         
                                         yeah and i was like let's order chinese food to the dorm and my uh my roommate was like
                                         
    
                                         he was like i heard that one time someone they did a test on some chinese food
                                         
                                         and it turns out there were eight different kinds of animal cum in it
                                         
                                         they did they did some tests on some chinese food
                                         
                                         and who are these racists they're like we have to test only chinese food yeah and only for semen yeah that's
                                         
                                         right we've got the semenometer what do you think folks
                                         
                                         clapping you think there's a lot of semen in this yeah oh god an eight eight different kinds
                                         
                                         but i um so i i i that really kind of tainted the meal for me and sure yeah my girlfriend and i broke
                                         
                                         up uh but uh the uh then it i didn't even consider it like later i was like no way
                                         
    
                                         like it's so expensive to get animal semen yeah like why would you waste it on 30 of dave's
                                         
                                         chinese food and why would you buy animals and then jerk them off and then butcher them and
                                         
                                         then put them in your your food yeah like if you're if you're doing animal husbandry this is
                                         
                                         this is like liquid gold you do not want to just no you do not want it to end up in your chicken chow

                                         And the real, like, what's the, there's a movie, is it Do the Right Thing, where everything's like super hot?
                                         
                                         No, it's.
                                         
    
                                         It is Do the Right Thing.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's super hot.
                                         
                                         But there's another one I'm thinking of that was about Son of Sam.
                                         
                                         Summer of Sam? Is it Predator 2? Yeah, Summer of Sam. Is it there's another one I'm thinking of that was about Son of Sam. Summer of Sam?
                                         
                                         Is it Predator 2?
                                         
                                         Yeah, Summer of Sam.
                                         
                                         Is it Predator 2 with Danny Glover?
                                         
                                         It's hot for this shit.
                                         
    
                                         But the Predator only fights in hot environments,
                                         
                                         so it's like the hottest time in LA.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, that's true.
                                         
                                         I've never seen him in a cold, cold climate.
                                         
                                         His apparatus wouldn't.
                                         
                                         It would just be all metal and seizing up and up. No, he did go in Aliens vs.
                                         
                                         Predator. He went to the Arctic.
                                         
                                         And then did he go to Manhattan?
                                         
    
                                         I guess he didn't. No, he went to Los Angeles.
                                         
                                         That was Jason.
                                         
                                         That was Jason or the Muppet.

                                         Not by a country mile.

                                         you want to talk about was the trope how long it was of mice and men no no no uh no also i i managed
                                         
                                         to skip town for a couple days before the heat wave started and i came back exactly when it
                                         
                                         started but i went on an island and I didn't
                                         
                                         bring any underwear with me
                                         
                                         so I had to go buy underwear on the way
                                         
    
                                         and
                                         
                                         there's a store that I don't know if you guys would be
                                         
                                         familiar with it used to be everywhere
                                         
                                         how long were you away
                                         
                                         just a couple days
                                         
                                         do you make a list of what to pack
                                         
                                         this is not
                                         
                                         how your brain works
                                         
    
                                         no i uh i'm usually perfect at packing but this time i was uh i was doing it like last last minute
                                         
                                         so i just i threw in things that i definitely wasn't gonna use like the same as you like a rain
                                         
                                         jacket and a pair of pants like what the hell but uh forgot underwear so had to buy some underwear and uh it's tough
                                         
                                         when you're because you know what underwear do you wear i wear uh extra husky okay
                                         
                                         and it's gonna be a reinforced waistband because there's so much hair down there there's as much
                                         
                                         hair down there as is on his face so it's like extra husky just like it
                                         
                                         gives a nice comfort from where all the hair yeah yeah um it's got special tuck technology it's
                                         
                                         called a crotch beard yeah thank you you're welcome nobody talks about crotch beard but if
                                         
    
                                         you're if you're in a big city and you don't pack any underwear, you just go to the next whatever.
                                         
                                         You go to the Target, you go to the Costco, whatever you get.
                                         
                                         But on an island, they don't have that kind of stuff.
                                         
                                         But luckily, they had a store that I thought had completely vanished off the face of the earth. You can only find them in small towns.
                                         
                                         It's called Fields.

                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And also,
                                         
    
                                         uh,
                                         
                                         there's always a picture of a dude on the box and he,
                                         
                                         they don't have to show how ripped he is.
                                         
                                         They could just show a waist down,
                                         
                                         but what?
                                         
                                         Oh,

                                         girl we talking flaccid um so i went to a fields which i like honestly it was like if i found out
                                         
                                         that there was still a zellers somewhere just like operating independently and then i realized
                                         
                                         the last time i had been in a field, probably like 15 years ago, also there to buy underwear.
                                         
                                         That's the only other time I've been.
                                         
                                         I know the island you're at.
                                         
                                         Salt Spring Island.
                                         
                                         Salt Spring Island.
                                         
    
                                         And I just Googled Salt Spring Fields.
                                         
                                         When you said they had a field, I assumed it had been there since 1974.
                                         
                                         That's what i imagine too but when i just googled it it said salt spring field store

                                         I look at life now as the game of guess who, which is simply the process of elimination.
                                         
    
                                         I know what I don't like. That's how I found out who I am.

                                         You know, a lot of times in life, you're sitting close enough to a person to hear what they're talking about.
                                         
    
                                         Or maybe they're talking really loud and you're sitting far away from them.
                                         
                                         But either way, you hear what they're talking about. Or maybe they're talking really loud and you're sitting far away from them. But either way, you hear what they're saying

                                         charge of the overheards?
                                         
                                         It's not something I overheard. It's something that was
                                         
                                         texted to me by my dad.
                                         
                                         Now, my mom and dad
                                         
                                         are divorced um but how many moves yeah so yeah so many moves so like my dad is in uh residence
                                         
                                         right now and he was uh this is something that uh i overheard my dad texting me it's like at my age
                                         
                                         it's difficult for me to say that i have a girlfriend because to me, that means that I have
                                         
                                         a solid relationship that is romantic. But to me, saying that I have a lady friend seems more casual
                                         
    
                                         and we wouldn't even hold hands or live together. And I can have several lady friends, but it would
                                         
                                         be unhealthy to have more than one girlfriend. I do have
                                         
                                         an eight-year-old friendship with Julie,
                                         
                                         but I call her my lady friend.
                                         
                                         Although we go on dates,
                                         
                                         I will have to see how it works out
                                         
                                         with my new friend, Michelle.
                                         
                                         I have a tentative rendezvous with her tomorrow.
                                         
    
                                         I can't wait to see her again.

                                         did you does he text you a lot uh yeah he used to email me a lot. And then I stopped looking at his emails because they'd be like, there's like a weather pattern or, you know, like they'd be like this like inundation of emails.
                                         
                                         So like the texts are the really important things that he wants.
                                         
                                         Okay.

                                         Yeah.

                                         I find that people of a certain age don't know how to keep it.

                                         I'm I,
                                         
                                         I Googled Pim's cup recipe.
                                         
                                         I didn't Google.
                                         
                                         How do you make a Pim's cup?
                                         
                                         I'm not there yet.
                                         
                                         Uh,
                                         
    
                                         but it didn't say anything about the specific cup.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         They weren't like beat copper and then
                                         
                                         turn it into a cup with your hammer there was so but i looked it up on boy it was food and wine
                                         
                                         what.com was the first thing that came up and it was a recipe that had like get us a couple slices of cucumber or an orange slice uh lemon slice uh
                                         
                                         strawberry so it's it's like most recipes will have like three liquors and one garnish this is
                                         
                                         one liquor and five garnishes oh mint you need mint for it as well right yeah uh And so the recipe I looked up had five comments on it.
                                         
                                         And the first one was, I think the recipe said just to use lemonade and sparkling water or something.
                                         
    
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         Or no, use ginger ale.
                                         
                                         Yum.
                                         
                                         And the first woman to comment was named Jeannie.
                                         
                                         And she wrote, it is properly made with sparkling lemonade not
                                         
                                         ginger ale and not filled with a ton of fruit a thin slice of cucumber and a strawberry slice is
                                         
                                         all it needs is a garnish and then the next comment was genie why leave a comment to bash
                                         
                                         this recipe did you even try to make it as it reads of course not i suppose for you it's much easier to just leave a negative
                                         
    
                                         comment by the way the recipe says ginger ale or lemon lime soda so it is properly made also
                                         
                                         this so-called properly made says you are supposed to garnish like crazy so it's entirely up to
                                         
                                         whomever makes this and what they decide to garnish it with in the end there's not right
                                         
                                         or wrong in terms of garnish my dear um and then the next comment was uh i think what genie was
                                         
                                         trying to get across is that the classic pims cup cocktail doesn't use soda but instead lemonade
                                         
                                         which in case you don't know is not the same as lemon lime soda.
                                         
                                         Anyway, it goes on.
                                         
                                         There's three comments.
                                         
    
                                         And then finally, a guy whose name is Guy comments, girls, girls, girls, chill.
                                         
                                         Save it for the polo match.
                                         
                                         And that was you that said honestly
                                         
                                         I don't have enough authority
                                         
                                         to comment that
                                         
                                         girls girls girls
                                         
                                         girls girls girls just let's
                                         
                                         take those tops off
                                         
    
                                         cool down
                                         
                                         that's yeah that's the last step to drinking a pims Let's take those tops off. Cool down. Let's take these tops off.
                                         
                                         That's the last step to drinking a Pimms.
                                         
                                         I made it with as many garnishes as possible. And I muddled them down to get all the juices out.
                                         
                                         And I got to tell you, it was good.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's very refreshing.
                                         
                                         And it turns out I didn't have ginger ale or lemon lime soda.
                                         
                                         So I used Ting, this Jamaican grapefruit drink.
                                         
    
                                         Nice.
                                         
                                         And it was good?
                                         
                                         It ruled.
                                         
                                         So do you think maybe you'll buy Pimms again?
                                         
                                         I guess you have to get it.
                                         
                                         They don't even have it here, do they?
                                         
                                         Oh, no.
                                         
                                         You can get Pimms here.

                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Let's see if I ever finish this bottle.
                                         
                                         Do you think you're going to buy Ting again?
                                         
                                         You know what? Ting, so I
                                         
                                         bought Ting because I like to drink a Paloma,
                                         
                                         which is
                                         
    
                                         grapefruit soda and
                                         
                                         tequila. Ooh.
                                         
                                         And normally I get Haritos.
                                         
                                         Oh, Haritos is nice, yeah.
                                         
                                         The guy,
                                         
                                         so I went to the, yeahitos grapefruit um and they went to
                                         
                                         snack land the local uh day penner here yeah snack sounds like an absolutely not made up place
                                         
                                         and they have yes it's a place that sells a lot of American things. So American candy, American sodas.
                                         
    
                                         And they, uh, they, they had all the Haritos, Haritos, except for grapefruit.
                                         
                                         So I bought Ting and the guy at the checkout was like, oh, uh, you, uh, what do you like
                                         
                                         Ting?
                                         
                                         And I was like, well, I prefer, I'd rather get the Haritos grapefruit and he was like oh yeah we have some in the back but um we also have tamarind and no
                                         
                                         one's really buying tamarind so we're waiting for that to sell out before i put out the
                                         
                                         grapefruit because last time we had grapefruit it sold out so fast and i was like i don't know
                                         
                                         if your business model of putting out the thing that doesn't sell and hiding the thing that sells is working.
                                         
                                         Well, you know, they trick people in.

                                         I work in one of the buildings in the Rockefeller Center Complex in New York City.
                                         
                                         On my floor, there is a little, maybe four foot tall door that goes to an elevator machine room.
                                         
                                         There have been people going in and out of it pretty much every day I've been working here.
                                         
                                         I say hi to the regulars, but there was this new guy in today
                                         
                                         that had a supervisor or higher-up vibe to him.
                                         
    
                                         The regular guy led him down to the hallway
                                         
                                         to the little door, opened it up,
                                         
                                         and they both stood there for a second
                                         
                                         and looked inside.
                                         
                                         And the regular guy points and goes,
                                         
                                         look at this.
                                         
                                         It's the perfect place to work.
                                         
                                         It's completely symmetrical.
                                         
    
                                         I cannot work here.
                                         
                                         It is nine feet by eight feet.
                                         
                                         I is not symmetrical.
                                         
                                         But yeah, I that sounds like doesn't sound like being John Malkovich.
                                         
                                         There's like a tiny little thing like what is through that door?
                                         
                                         They have to stop on the floor, mid the the floor and then open it with a crowbar and
                                         
                                         then climb out onto the third and a half floor was that movie like i loved it at the time i bought
                                         
                                         the dvd i watched it many times but i haven't watched it in 15 years is it was it too cute for
                                         
    
                                         its own good no i just watched it recently and it was it was it held up. It was still funny. All those details, they all work? Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         I think he said in an interview that he
                                         
                                         has an idea, but it's not like a movie
                                         
                                         idea. Who's he? Charlie Kaufman?
                                         
                                         Yeah, Charlie Kaufman. Yeah, that he doesn't
                                         
                                         throw it away. He'll use it in a bigger project. So he had the idea
                                         
                                         of a movie being on a third and a half floor.
                                         
    
                                         And that was the movie.
                                         
                                         He also had no like plan B.
                                         
                                         It was John Malkovich or nothing.
                                         
                                         And John Malkovich was a producer.
                                         
                                         Like John Malkovich heard about the movie, offered to produce it as long as he was not in it.
                                         
                                         And Charlie Kaufman was like, nope, it's got to be you.

                                         at his script and it was only his lines and the rest were just like blah, blah, blah.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         So that he just wanted to listen and react and say that line acting is mostly yeah
                                         
                                         that's like a really good uh like i never was good in school but i knew that like if i ever
                                         
                                         copied out my notes twice i was like oh i know this now forever yes yeah exactly but he does
                                         
                                         the opposite of like it's rote learning but like also like listening so he's like so I try to do that too when I'm doing like
                                         
    
                                         predator stuff yeah

                                         uh dave and dance what our past episode with the dan werb their tour memories reminded me of the
                                         
                                         first gig i ever played on tour with a rock band in Baltimore. The venue had a giant poster backstage with all the rules of playing on the road.
                                         
                                         I don't remember all of them, but the two I remember are,
                                         
                                         it's not a soccer game, your parents can't come to every show.
                                         
                                         Fair.
                                         
                                         And two, the drummer can wear gloves or take his shirt off, but not both.
                                         
    
                                         That's a great rule that's good i don't see a lot of drummers and gloves but it does stand out when
                                         
                                         you see them yeah exactly would have been better the drummer must wear gloves or take his shirt
                                         
                                         off not both it's yeah i mean it's uh it's your own choice i've known more drummers to take their
                                         
                                         shirts off than yeah wear gloves oh yeah what's his name? Always Nude? Wasn't it from No Doubt or
                                         
                                         something like that? Yeah, sure.
                                         
                                         It was always Nude.
                                         
                                         But there's like
                                         
                                         the gloves and it always seems like it's
                                         
    
                                         like batting, baseball batting

                                         Ha ha. I'm welcoming you to a French festival of comedy in Quebec City.
                                         
                                         And when was that?
                                         
                                         When did you shave it?
                                         
                                         I'd say four years ago.
                                         
    
                                         So that's four years growth.
                                         
                                         Graham, you haven't touched yours in over a decade, I would say. I trim like a bonsai tree.

                                         Graham and guest.
                                         
                                         This is Danny.
                                         
                                         I recently saw a billboard in Chicago that, complete with before and after pictures, just said,
                                         
                                         Toe shortening.
                                         
    
                                         Yep, it's a thing.
                                         
                                         Anyway, off I go.
                                         
                                         Yeah, we can shave a couple inches off of those bad boys i mean like
                                         
                                         you're really nitpicking if you think that's wrong with your body yeah toe shortening oh my
                                         
                                         i keep buying like shoes that are too small yeah maybe that's it maybe it's a fit in shoes kind of
                                         
                                         i i do like boy i'm a size 10 and shoes in my size never go on sale but like
                                         
                                         if i was a size 7 i could clean up yeah i uh have you ever seen like an actual thing because
                                         
                                         they would do foot binding back in the day and they would make they they made them into like triangular kind of weird shaped feet so cool
                                         
    
                                         but like that would have probably helped if you had a little shorter toes would give you a little
                                         
                                         bit more roomy you had shorter toes yeah i mean it also seems like torture i think it's probably
                                         
                                         torture it's probably torture i don't think many men were asked to do it uh yeah
                                         
                                         probably not but they were what are they wearing sandals or something like that something really
                                         
                                         yeah get it together what are you wearing uh these days in these hot summer days i wear it either uh
