Starting point is 00:00:36 Yeah, I, Graham and I used to make this show in the same room. And then Graham got mad. Yeah, that's right. He said I will never come back. But in the meantime my computer died and so I got a new computer and it's a two screen setup. That's awesome. And so if I'm like, if we ever are back in the studio I can be like, hey, want to watch the Harlem Globetrotters on that other screen?

You can almost do smoke on the water. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:28 I remember recorder day. Like, did you have a class that was just like a random, uh, instruments that you're like a block of wood or a triangle, like very, like not like, uh, you know,
Starting point is 00:02:39 a bumpy stick. I feel like recorder day was like pretty awesome when you got to have the recorder which is disgusting now looking back on it all these kids playing with one recorder one everyone pass around the recorder it's recorded day everybody's gonna do one third of hot crust buns yeah we're gonna reset billy bobby you guys both have to play at the same time bobby does the fingering billy blows into never mind recorder units cancel yeah yeah yeah don't tell your parents that this happened yeah don't tell your parents i said fingering and blowing um do you guys either you guys have a teacher that was like sketchy and canceled because i feel like yes did you yes oh my god uh canceled i don't
Starting point is 00:03:38 know if we canceled teachers back then he just locked them up so he was uh was your teacher i was just i was reading about a teacher who's going to jail for several years having an ongoing relationship with a student and just being like how the fuck does that happen i don't understand what's going through uh it's only ever happened once though so that's true and we should learn a lesson from it for me once shame on you yeah yes yeah exactly um what happened in your case of the teacher getting the boot oh the teacher didn't get the boot uh in my case my case was uh my math teacher mr baker uh i'll say last names on here yeah shout out to mr baker i'm gonna hold on to my shout out until i hear what happened uh he married not one but two not two but three of his former students wow yeah at the same time do they all have to play the recorder at the same time
Starting point is 00:04:47 yeah he he converted to islam so that he could marry several people at the same time wow is that part true that you can in islamic sharia law all right boys we're getting into it well no but is that did he really marry them at the same time? No, no, no. He married them sequentially. His move was as they aged, he would choose a new one.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Yes, very godlike of him. Yeah, I don't personally subscribe to Sharia law. You know me. I'm into Sufism. Like the poet roomie shout out to roomie uh wow that's like uh uh that's like a rock star kind of thing that's like something like keith richards would do oh yeah it seemed like a thing bill wyman maybe has keith richards ever been married has he ever settled down tame him
Starting point is 00:05:54 that's true reba mcintyre that's who i think it's funny that like he's alive. Like people were saying 20 years ago that he looks like a zombie. Yeah. And then remember he got, uh, he fell out of a coconut tree or something like that. Was it on the set of Gilligan's Island? Johnny Depp movie. I feel like I heard that,
Starting point is 00:06:22 that he fell out of a palm tree. Yeah. That rings a bell. I feel like I heard that, that he fell out of a palm tree. Yeah, that rings a bell. It was part of the curse that keeps him alive. That's right. Every Halloween. Every Halloween, he has to shove a whole coconut, unpeeled, up his ass,
Starting point is 00:06:40 and it keeps him alive for one more year. Keith Riddick, shout out. He's actually dead, but when tropical music starts play he comes to life that's why they always do a harry belafonte song at the rolling stone concert before things kick off they play it constantly underneath everything yeah yeah um yeah so uh that's hilarious no it's not no it's not you're right it's a tragedy so i will still not be uh i still won't have a shout out for mr baker okay that's fair yeah he can only have shout outs from two of the three of us yes oh i mean mr baker probably i don't know he my there was very little oversight in my high school because immediately after I graduated, it was turned into a graveyard.
Starting point is 00:07:33 But it's haunted. It's a graveyard that's haunted. This was built on a school. Where was this? It was in Dundas, Ontario. ontario oh yeah it was right near hamilton cool is dundas do they have a do they compare themselves to hamilton or are they just their own thing they're they're part of the they're they're like part of the municipality of hamilton they were amalgamated uh okay but they're kind of like a sort of they've got the vibe of
Starting point is 00:08:05 like a sleepy new england town and a lot of movies and shit gets shot there oh okay yeah like uh like anything that stephen king would write is he is he a new england guy no he's maine yeah new england but i feel like probably a stephen king novel was there. There was a Stephen King novel in the town at some point. At least on someone's Kindle. That Julia Roberts movie where she was like a secret assassin. Oh, okay. What's that one? She's a secret assassin.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Boy, I don't know. I think Samuel L. Jackson was in it wow this movie sounds better and better all the time this is when i are you thinking of gina davis no it's definitely julia roberts julia roberts and oh yeah so i've never seen it and uh no it's no no that's gina day but when you google julia roberts samuel jackson the long kiss good night comes up shot in dundas dundas ontario um that's pretty cool that my high school was bulldozed and turned into a graveyard yeah yeah why good you thanks for giving me that edit point why why was that civically why was that a better use of space just because the school and nobody was
Starting point is 00:09:46 hitting the hitting the marks nobody's getting the grades so they're like we warned you three times it's a bad sign for a city you're like we don't believe in our future yeah we have more dead people than uh than students so we gotta do to do. Well, that was literally the logic was that I did like a whole set about this once. And there was like an article that came out in like the Hamilton Spectator that was like, it is a dire situation
Starting point is 00:10:16 in Dundas. If people keep dying at the rate that they are currently dying, we are going to run out of graveyard space in 17 years. Wow. dying we are going to run out of graveyard space in 17 years wow so we're thinking of stuffing them in lockers at the high school yeah and so he was like yeah let's just i always thought like vancouver would always be on these like lists of like the most livable cities in the world
Starting point is 00:10:46 and i always thought that was a weird word of livable but now i know now that i know the alternative dialable yeah best cities to die in yeah oh yeah what would be a nice city to die in? Number six will shock you. Oh, I'm clicking that. It's just a cruise ship. It doesn't even say a town. I guess dying on a cruise ship is probably one of the worst ways because you just got to stay there. Yeah. I thought you were going to say you have to be buried at sea. Well, maybe that is what they have to do.
Starting point is 00:11:25 I think it might happen. That would be awesome to be on a cruise ship where somebody's buried at sea. That's very lucky for everybody. I think at most cruises, someone probably does die. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And there's like 2,000 of them on a boat. You don't think they have a coffin somewhere in the bottom? Yeah, I'm sure they have a coffin somewhere in the bottom yeah i'm sure they
Starting point is 00:11:45 have got like by the time you finish the cruise i'm sure you're cruising with like four or five corpses four or five wow that's uh i mean a lot of the cruise folks are there on in years so it's a it's a possibility who are the best Cruise folks? Penelope Cruise? Penelope Cruise, Tom Cruise, obviously. Terry Cruise. Three different spellings. And three different acting methods. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:12:16 But they're all winners. They're all winners. There's not a stinker on the list. Abdul, your thoughts. On the best Cruises, I was furiously trying to think of another one, Abdul, your thoughts. On the best cruises? I was furiously trying to think of another one, if I'm being totally honest. I was like, well, thankfully I can just be quiet and no one will throw to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Okay. All right. Well, it's okay. We got the rest of the show mapped out. Have, Abdul, you ever been on a cruise i have i was on a mediterranean cruise once when i was a kid uh oh yeah it was so much fun i think it's fun for a kid to like uh enter what is essentially kind of a post-apocalypse scenario where you're trapped on a ship like with all your amenities.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Yeah. Yeah. It seems like something to be really fun for a kid and it, and then for seniors, it feels like it's, they've parsed out fun for the two of them. And then in between, it's,
Starting point is 00:13:19 it's not a lot going on for, for, you know, say a wedded couple or something like that you know yeah it's uh it's also like you can eat all the time there's just food just sitting around that you can always just like have a piece of pizza or something like that the way you describe it it's like there's kind of food all over the place, not in one designated location. Yeah, like you're on a video game level and like, oh, there's a big turkey leg over there.
Starting point is 00:13:54 This guy's sweeping up just loose pizza. Why are you sweeping that up? We're supposed to have food everywhere on this cruise ship. I just thought we would want it in one big pile. No, no, no, no, no. I want people to happen upon it. I want pizza all over the ship, my boy.
Starting point is 00:14:14 This is the captain, by the way. This is the character. This is good character exploration. So this is the captain. How does he dance? How does he walk? What is his nose? I dance with the fury of a thousand suns, and I walk with the grace of a thousand suns,
Starting point is 00:14:32 but spelled differently. Okay. Which is which? Yeah. I feel like at the beginning of the cruise, there was a speech, like the captain made a speech over the... Yeah. We're all not we're you know many of you will be dead but yeah all of us are gonna make it look to your left look to your right
Starting point is 00:14:55 yeah and sometimes we have to stuff three to a coffin because it's you'll be staying on the coffin deck until until someone dies and then you will be relocated yeah i thought it was weird during the queen's procession that they kept calling it a coffin as opposed to a casket like yeah like there's some sort of mystical possibility that you arise from the coffin to rule us all again. I don't know that casket is nicer. No?
Starting point is 00:15:32 You think coffin and casket are equal? Yeah. I think of coffin I think of Dracula. But I don't think of him in a casket. I think casket I think of like some rickety like an old west like a pine box yeah a pine box that was hammered together that morning
Starting point is 00:15:52 it won't last the winter somebody start building a pine box yeah do you think that they had to build them fresh every time or did they did they rack up a bunch in case it is such a waste that you like pay so much for these things and then they just bury them yeah and there's like funeral homes that would they would have the casket at the viewing and then they would just put them in a pine box and bury that and then keep using the casket over and over again. Which to me makes sense environmentally. Totally. That's what I want.
Starting point is 00:16:33 I don't even want, look, regardless of death, I absolutely want an open casket. I want a viewing, whether I'm mangled by, you know, barracudas or just shot out of a torpedo dave didn't know that barracudas could kill him and so he died at sea yep climbed into the torpedo with a thousand barracudas yeah yeah like uh i don't uh i feel like uh cremation is my future that's i feel like that's like that's all of our future yeah i mean well the right people are dying in dundas ontario they really should just Have they not invented fire? Well, that was part of the reason why it turned into a graveyard. That, and then there was also too much asbestos in the building.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Those were the two main reasons. Yes, asbestos. Yeah, our old friend asbestos. Yeah, a couple weeks ago, a couple months ago, Dana Smith was on the the show and she talked about removing the popcorn stuff from the ceiling and then somebody i know somebody posted like oh that's usually asbestos like it shouldn't be it shouldn't be just knocked around oh man we that's just you know we thought it was the wonder drug. What do we call asbestos?
Starting point is 00:18:05 Wonder element? Is it fireproof? Is that what it was? Yeah. Yeah. And it was like a really good insulator so that you'd get your heating costs down, but then your removal costs went up. So, you know, it was a trade-off. Well, it sounds sort of like the perfect
Starting point is 00:18:25 product yeah well maybe i could start selling again be like look i know that it got a lot of that's the old asbestos they knew it don't they do that sometimes where they're like oh yeah yeah we don't do it that way anymore now it's cool new asbestos it's asbestos 2.0 yeah yeah exactly exactly. And it's like Burger King, how they try and rebrand themselves every couple of years. You can't spell best. Wait, no, you can't spell asbestos without best. Wait, which one are we spelling? You also can't spell it without SOS, which is what you'll be saying if you don't buy asbestos 2.0. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:07 SOS, you'll be marooned on an island um do you guys think if you ever heard morris code like would you be like ah shit i don't know you call it morris code what is it is it more morse morse more more so you'll like the way you look no it's some of the same commercials as Men's Warehouse. They just don't have the guy. Oh, yeah. Just showing suits. It's a funny thing to advertise. Where else can you get a suit?
Starting point is 00:19:36 Aside from a super expensive place, there's no other competition. Is there? Yeah, you can get them at any department store. Ah, yes. God you can get them at any department store. Ah, yes. God damn it. I forgot about department stores.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Have any of you guys been in a department store lately? It's Ghost Town up there. I had to go to the mall a few weeks ago, and the elevator landed us in the Nordstrom, and it was hard to get out of there. Yeah. getting sprayed down with perfume trying to yeah the classic the gauntlet of ladies spraying you yeah it's like the movie labyrinth yeah it's a but better smelling i think labyrinth looks like it stinks yeah david bowie probably smells pretty good. I wonder if David Bowie smelled good.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I feel like there was a story about him meeting a fan after a show and him bathing and asking her if she would help him bathe. So, yeah, I think he's probably pretty clean. Help me bathe. That's his opening salvo yeah I'll eat for you $100 guys that was off air but just like the idea of him like getting into a bath and being like i don't know how to do
Starting point is 00:21:08 this i need some help a bath is when's the last time either you took a bath uh like financially when you invested in asbestos 2.0 i think the last time I took a bath was probably some years ago I don't think I don't think it's been in my my modern life but it was nice the last time I did it I just don't I just don't have the time
Starting point is 00:21:35 for a bath you know what I mean showers is it when was the last time you had a bath I think I probably had a bath with Khalil recently my son and yeah he's still like young enough that sometimes he was still scared of it until very recently so sometimes i'd get in there with him just to be like it's fine look i'm in here i'm not dead yeah now help me bathe, kid. Ground control to major time.
Starting point is 00:22:08 I'll sing to you while you bathe me. I probably take three baths a year. Okay. Like when I have a cold or when I like hurt my back. Yeah, that's true. A little Epsom salt action, that kind of thing. You know, there's people that do it every day i've known people that but then when i do take a bath i have to then have a shower afterwards yeah that's true
Starting point is 00:22:31 well that was good and relaxing and now let's clean the filth off yeah let's uh yeah it's it never occurs to me to have a bath. But I will say, in my shower, the drain continuously clogs up, so I get a nice little foot bath going. Yeah, which is nice. I actually like that more than an actual bath. Just like the tub slowly filling up with water? Yeah, because then you could pretend you're in a monsoon, and you're like, oh, like oh yeah it's a disaster i'm heading to safety yeah naked i'm heading to
Starting point is 00:23:12 safety naked but uh no shoes either it makes a lot of opportunities for really interesting uh i guess hygiene related role play yes yeah uh i'm the loofah now and yeah the soap look at me i'm the loofah now um yeah i i feel like i don't know the the tub situation in some movies is that they've got like a huge tub that two people can squeeze in no problem but i feel like that's a dream of world i feel like right average tub is just oh yeah and like the idea that if anyone had the forethought to put the like the faucet not jamming you in the back if you do a two person tub because you eat you have even less room than you think you do yeah and then like also water displacement is uh not my forte so i don't know what level no one person let alone two people jesus christ uh yeah do you ever see
Starting point is 00:24:15 that movie what lies beneath with harrison ford and michelle pfeiffer no but is there a picture on the poster of somebody in a bath there's like a ghost comes out of the bath as ex-wife's ghost whoa and like i think comes out of the bath in the trailer anyway what if that wasn't what the movie's about at all they just added one scene in where it's like the people will come to see it if it's about at all they just added one scene in where it's like the people will come to see it if it's about a ghost yeah and Harrison Ford's like oh that was weird
Starting point is 00:24:54 anyway back to battling aliens I feel like there was a movie with Julia Roberts on the cover being in a bath. Maybe it was called... Sleeping with the Enemy? Yes, Sleeping with the Enemy. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:13 You guys seen that? It's probably an erotic thriller. It's not a thriller for it. Okay, that counts. I remember David Spade did What's In and What's Out. Oh, yeah. It's like Hollywood Minute. Yeah, it was out, sleeping with the enemy.
Starting point is 00:25:32 In, sleeping with me. David Spade. Yeah. Yeah, the... I didn't... Maybe it's an Iraq thriller. maybe it's just a thriller maybe it's neither maybe it's about bathing hygiene and I think it's her
Starting point is 00:25:50 it's about her like ex-husband stalking her oh yeah Jennifer Lopez in enough kind of scenario sure she really picked up the torch yeah we stopped by
Starting point is 00:26:06 uh there's a lot of these kinds of movies where the core premise or the cover isn't is bathing because there's also the reader with kate winslet where oh movie is her in a tub getting read to. Which is so weird to say. How did they pitch that? Yeah, like, we need you to read a little faster. I'm losing heat here. I'm getting all
Starting point is 00:26:37 pruney. Prinkly, yeah. And there's Trumbo where he writes Spartacus in the bathtub or whatever. Did he write Spartacus? I just feel like, you know how like... I get Trumbo and Mank mixed up. Who's Mank?
Starting point is 00:26:55 Mank was like kind of like our generation's Trumbo. But like Trumbo hands in a screenplay and it's all like if you drop a book in the bath it's all like uh wrinkly and huge they're like hey we can't make a movie this long he's like no just press on it yeah it's actually right yeah you can't make a movie this huge
Starting point is 00:27:25 um yeah i'm trying to think now another movie where it's like the person is bath bound but uh nothing else is coming to mind oh maybe the english patient is there a bath in that probably right oh well there's what's it called uh shine where he poops in the bath but he's a very good piano player yeah that's true it's a movie about two things he he can be about two things he's a great piano player and he shouldn't be trusted in the bath uh here's when i googled best bath movies. What Lies Beneath. Okay. Thank you. Fatal Attraction.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I don't remember that part. Oh, there's one where he's like dreaming that she's like drowning somebody. Anyways. Nightmare on Elm Street. Oh, yes. Famous bath scene. Splash. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Splash. Bull Durham. Young Guns. Tootsie weird science peewee's big adventure i like that the mermaid the tom hanks mermaid one had a bath in it like anything with a mermaid has a bath in it yeah splash that's what i said that's oh that's splat yeah i think the money pit did as well doesn't the bathtub like fall through the floor? Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And someone's in it. Maybe. And their boobs fall out. It goes skidding across the floor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah i feel like probably a lot of movies in the 80s were sold with a pitch of like and then you see boobs okay okay you have it then
Starting point is 00:29:16 well sir you wheeled a bathtub into our offices so I know we are already saying yes to this. Yeah. You brought your own bathtub? Man, we're going to save so much money. And that's how James Cameron got aliens, man. Oh, man. James Cameron. He's coming out swinging on these Avatar films.
Starting point is 00:29:37 He's really saying. Is he? Yeah, he said like the Marvel Cinematic Universe is stupid. Well, he's right. said like the marvel cinematic universe is stupid and well he's right but yeah he's like i love how all in he is he's made like three more of these avatar movies and i don't remember what the first avatar no uh a bit many people have actually told us that we like predicted that he was gonna because he announced he was gonna do sequels and we're like yeah yeah yeah 2022 and this was like 10 years ago and so we i think we got one thing right yeah and he he probably invented a lot of technology
Starting point is 00:30:16 he had to do that on titanic and uh terminator he had to like make a lot of stuff that didn't exist yet yeah titanic is kind of the biggest bath movie yeah it's true whole thing's kind of a bad yeah it eases slowly into the ocean like somebody that's not sure about their footing in a bath oh so i'm uh, Vogue.com has some, uh, great, the best bath scenes. Uh, apparently he washes her in the notebook. Oh yeah, that sounds right. Oh, the shape of water guy lives in a bath. We got frickin' Fight Club takes a bath. The American Beauty, she's in a bath of rose petals.
Starting point is 00:31:04 These all rule that should be a section on netflix like bath bath under 90 minutes oh i'm pretty woman and scarface are in this category. Oh, yeah. Scarface. Classic. The thing about that bath is that it's 100% surrounded by carpet, which feels like that would get pretty nasty pretty fast. That was the thing in Alberta that a lot of my friends from Alberta have told me that they just had hot tubs in their carpeted basements also what like all my friends basements were unfinished we were allowed to just go in there screw around but wow a hot tub because also what's the ventilation situation on yeah it sounds like it's a moldy
Starting point is 00:32:06 that's gonna be a black mold crew oh it was gotta get some asbestos 2.0 in there it sucks up yeah it's actually actually really good for that he he also smoked in the tub which i feel like would be gross because ash would be following into where you're. So that's fine. Do you think that's fine? Just having some Ash floating around. I think that sounds actually pretty like, um,
Starting point is 00:32:35 I don't smoke, but I was like, get me to start like getting to do it in the bath. But like, I'm always so worried about like, if you have your phone in the bath like i hope i don't drop it in i don't even want to like you know yeah uh you know touch it with wet hands it's like like taking a wet cigarette and like using your wet fingers to get a cigarette in and out of your
Starting point is 00:32:58 mouth yeah gets all rumply like when you drop a book in the bath yeah and then it looks like a cigar whoa is that a cigar no don't don't panic it's just a just press it down oh we don't deal with cigars here no it is uh have either of you ever eaten something in the bath because i feel like that's another dimension of pleasure of yeah pleasure or of scared accident like if a sandwich fell in that would be the end of the bath no but you got me thinking like you could maybe like you could cook spaghetti and eat it in the bath it in the bath okay yeah save a little of that pasta water for you know your armpits the hot tub repairman is just so confused so you're saying you didn't spill anything in here. I wouldn't say I spilled anything.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Yeah. I wanted like years and years ago when I was like first living in Vancouver with a roommate, the two of us would very regularly scrape our plates off into the toilet. And, uh, the landlord came in and was like like what the fuck are you guys eating you guys need to chew how did this go through your body why would you do that uh i don't know it was it was a stupid thing that a couple of stupid kids would do but like
Starting point is 00:34:42 what kind of like you're scraping off just like rice or is it like you know chicken bones and watermelon rind it was it was like rice like stuff you would scrape off uh you know but we didn't have like our sink was gross and it would just the food would just stick in the pipe so we're like yeah i toilet should be able to take that's what i thought oatmeal rice yeah but he really uh tomahawk steak sure uh lobster thermidor yeah but a man oh man did that landlord call us out he was like you guys gotta eat something you to eat fiber or something. This is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:35:27 And this is what the musical Rent is about. Two hours of admitting that you did this to the toilet. 500, 25,000, 600 rice. Scrains. Scrains, yeah. I had such a long lead up to think of the word. I had to say the whole number. Measure a meal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:57 In donuts and something. Scrapings and leavings. Yeah. Man man oh man that landlord had it coming he was a shitty landlord so oh yeah well you you need to get a good landlord yeah and then it's harder and harder to come by these days yeah if you want me to not do that kind of thing you got to keep the rent nice and low because i'll do i'll do it just out of spite my rent goes up into the toilet it goes so the whole thing of uh pillsbury dough boy crescent you know crossing crescent rolls yeah i'm trying to say what is a crescent roll it's a croissant but crescent was not none the things. Which is something you said, I think. There's a Pillsbury
Starting point is 00:36:49 croissant, crescent rolls commercial that Abby and I always hated because they sing a song, there's like a very sappy, emotional song in it, and they rhyme while they're just singing it. Something special about grandparents
Starting point is 00:37:06 so I'm making crescents close enough yeah look it's 5 o'clock we don't want to rewrite this god damn thing close enough grandparents crescent it rhymes on the page it's 5 o'clock and we started working on this 3 minutes ago and I don't want to put any more effort into it.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Okay, guys, here we go. First try. Pitching in the room. I always thought Pillsbury things in the tube were always very exciting because of that pop. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was fun. They were more fun to make than to eat. Yeah, yeah, I would agree with that.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Because it's the only, am I wrong about that? Is it the only baking that comes in a tube? Or, like, beside... Why do you ask these questions? Our listeners are, like, getting ready to write in. You guys forgot all these
Starting point is 00:38:07 baking in a tube things. Cookie dough. Cookie dough comes in a tube. There you go. Nailed it. Pillsbury. I guess so. Yeah, not exclusively, but yeah. Sure, yeah. Yeah, you could get a no-name tube. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:23 But you can't get a pie in a tube. Dave, you fucking idiot. You can get a pie in a tube dave you fucking idiot you can get a pie in a tube who let you have this show why are your fans so hostile i dude i don't know yeah might just be that because that's the voice i read the comments with but you guys should be nicer to Graham and Dave they're plenty nice yeah they're alright these listeners well you know we have our differences but ultimately
Starting point is 00:38:53 we're here to solve the crescent roll mysteries yeah and actually personally I've married three of them three of our listeners sequentially shout out to Dave for marrying three Married three of them. Married three of our listeners. Sequentially. Shout out to Dave for marrying three of his listeners. How far apart were the marriages?
Starting point is 00:39:14 I feel like it was like seven years. Wow. Holy cow. Because I feel like that's crazier than, you know, 30 years. Yeah. Yeah, but if it was 30 years, the age differences would be insane it would but the fact that like the third wife was like you know what uh i i don't know about those first two wives i never this is my first time hearing about this other marriage that would have to be it right yeah and if it was, he'd be like in his early 90s for that third.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Dave, what's going on with you, man? Oh, man. Guys, I had a bit of a, hey, man, am I living in the Matrix moment? Oh, shit. Hey, is there a glitch in the frickin' mage? Yeah. And it was beyond that. It was a mistake that someone else made you know when you're like oh i saw this guy i've never seen this guy before and then i saw him three times today oh yeah yeah yeah um that's a glitch of
Starting point is 00:40:21 the matrix but that's a glitch of the matrix, but that's a glitch of the matrix. But come over to my house after school. We're going to watch the matrix. And we're going to discuss the glitch portion. Um, like, have you ever seen where it's like four cars in the row are all the same car? Yeah. But that's in Vancouver that they're all Tesla's every street.
Starting point is 00:40:43 I was also thinking about like growing up where you would do punch buggy. Like if you'd punch your friend, if you saw a Volkswagen Beetle and then they don't do that. Like there's none of those on the road anymore. No. They were just like common enough that it was, you'd see two a day. And then they brought them back and then yeah they i don't see i now i don't see those at all anymore and i wonder what is the like what is the new one you could do that with tickle your testicle for a tesla
Starting point is 00:41:18 so if you'd be in the city your testicles will be tickled non-stop my testicles can't feel anything anymore there's so many testicles on the road and also like volkswagen beetle doesn't start with a p for punch it's not like that's true not like uh you know boggle your boob. Beatles. Yeah. Or handjob Hummers. Yeah. Hummers. Yeah. I think are rare enough that you could punch someone about them. Hopefully the driver.
Starting point is 00:41:55 But like maybe like minis, mini Coopers. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Fiat 500s. Is that it? Yeah. What's the I wonder what the most common car is it's like i remember the movie drive he like his mechanic friend sets him up with a super great engine inside of the
Starting point is 00:42:15 most boring average car in the world so uh i think it's not tesla They're not that common, but it's probably like Toyota Corolla Honda Accord. I feel like in that scene, his friend was also like, all right, I also put your scorpion jacket inside of this blazer too. Yeah. And I'm going to put a really normal looking face on top of your beautiful face.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Yeah. Here's the most common face in the world it's the richard nixon mask you've already paid for the face transplant uh so i've got no obligation to do this correctly um so my glitch in the light trucks uh moment was well a few weeks ago or maybe last week abby and i uh were driving the kids to school and we heard this sia song the singer sia yeah uh she has the song big wig yeah big wig she's a big wig uh in the music industry that'll be a good like new york times crossword clue big wig in the music industry um three letters uh but it's the song that goes
Starting point is 00:43:28 i'm unstoppable i'm a porsche with no brakes speaking of first draft lyrics uh but so we heard that song and uh then that's as we were driving the kids to school and then that's as we were driving the kids to school and then on the way home we heard it again and then that afternoon as I was picking the kids up from school I heard it a third time and I was like is this a new song why are they playing it so much and it's from six years ago and it was just
Starting point is 00:43:58 very strange and then but the other thing we do every morning when we drive to school we listen to there's a radio station that plays they have a contest every day where someone calls in and they ask them 10 questions in 30 seconds and they have to answer all 10 questions and but all the answers start with the same letter so it'll be like the letter b this is uh the thing that you put on your boobs
Starting point is 00:44:29 yeah keep going keep going uh this is the sound a b makes i'm a b uh okay uh this is name a color the color of either of your eyes right now but it is a lot of that it's but it's a very fun game especially with kids in the car because they shout out the answers to is that i wantquanta? What? The name of the... I know the radio station that I'm currently working at has this type of game. No.
Starting point is 00:45:11 It's on Z95. Nice. Nice. It's the... If Carson don't stop it, Grant. Yeah. But they... So we listen to this every morning.
Starting point is 00:45:21 And then a couple weeks ago, it was... Or maybe a few days ago the letter was you oh yeah it was like you know this is hold this in the rain umbrella uh uh russia has invaded ukraine i don't know why i can't remember any of the actual ones they said name a bone one of them was name a bone. Ulner. Yeah. I guess so. I guess so. It is bone. That's true.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Well, isn't it Ulna? I don't know. Maybe. An Ulner is like when you get a boner in your Ulna. Uh-oh. Look who's got an Ulner. Oh. uh-oh look who's got it all there um uh but uh so we listen to this every morning we like make sure we're in the car for it
Starting point is 00:46:12 and then something happened today that i've never seen happen before like i never heard happen before in my life we were listening and they're like okay your letter is you and then they played the exact same and we were like are these the same questions as last time no it was the complete same call it was like they just had they played a rerun of this contest weird and the weirdest thing was after the person didn't win at the very end they played the same sia song whoa i dave i think it's only fair to tell you that i am an extra in your truman style whoa yeah and i'm the director the director and we thought it'd be fun to have him uh make a cameo in the truman world oh yeah
Starting point is 00:47:04 are we gonna do a bathtub scene? Yes, yes, that's coming up. This is us planting the seeds. Okay, yeah. I like to say, will there be a sexy lady? Because I'm starting to get an ulner. Back to your room, Grandpa. I'm trying to think of a moment that was like that but nothing like that where there's like three or four of the same thing happening yeah i find i
Starting point is 00:47:33 see the same car quite a bit like every every time i've bought a new car i've been like oh there's another super room pres over there oh and another one oh they're everywhere yeah i'm in a fraternity uh these are all these are gonna do that that jeep fingering that we learned in recorder class isn't there a thing with jeep drivers that they hold up two fingers oh i don't know to indicate that they're part of the white power movement maybe it's three figures i don't know yeah they really uh that white power movement really wouldn't have a wouldn't have let johnny carson be uh i think because he always liked to do the a-okay sign yeah somebody was very funny
Starting point is 00:48:22 i do like that they're very, they have very much pride in their race, but they always have to be sneaky with their hand signals. They're never like, they're always like, I got one past ya. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I snuck one in there. I love it when
Starting point is 00:48:39 a white supremacist is a rascal like this. Yeah. Yeah. What, when you were a kid, did you do bunny ears behind people's head? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Hold up two fingers. Did that ever have a meaning that those people had a bunch of girlfriends?
Starting point is 00:49:00 Oh. I think like if it was the bunny ears, it was something to do with playboy like this this kid's got a playboy that we all read no it was from in my school it was like i'm gonna hold up two fingers behind your head and if you don't notice i'm gonna start counting in my head and if i whatever number i make it to before you notice that's how many girlfriends you have but if you notice you can stop the count by putting your hand under your chin your fist under your chin this is how we used to vote before before those big paper ballots yeah this was that was originally designed in ancient greece was originally designed in ancient greece the origin of the democratic system yeah yeah uh yeah i didn't that was when having a lot of girlfriends was wait but wasn't it like if you
Starting point is 00:49:54 blew out candles on a cake however many didn't blow out that was also a girlfriend related yeah man the last thing you want is girlfriends yeah exactly you want wives and three of them if you can yeah you want student wives student wives that are seven years apart yeah exactly it's over your 21 year teaching career yeah seven's the magic number for me uh i know that just i run out of steam after uh seven years um yeah have you guys ever watched the sister wives show even in passing no uh certainly in passing was it an hbo thing no no that was the well yeah i'm thinking of the there was the bill fax oh yeah yeah that he was a polygamist a pulitzer prize winning polygamist
Starting point is 00:50:47 um yeah like uh i don't know this sister wife show it just feels like who is this good for it doesn't seem like anybody's getting a good side of the deal because he's got like three or four wives and they all have to hang out and be friends what's the most wives you would want that's a great question um what are we talking we're talking like do i live in a compound somewhere whatever yeah blue sky okay yeah i live in a compound somewhere but i don't like scheduling things so i'm gonna stick with one because i feel there'd be a lot of uh you know a lot of calendar work yeah and there's a google doc going okay you like okay you don't live in a compound
Starting point is 00:51:37 okay you live in a zoo you look like a monkey and you smell like one too You look like a monkey and you smell like one too. Those are the official rules. For me, I would probably want two wives, Abby and my mommy. Yeah, why not? Yeah. I just, I don't know. That show, show like the guy's not he doesn't seem great but none of the wives seem great either so it's just like they should just call it a day have three divorces right in a row or or just go to one lawyer and get them all signed up at the same time for divorce
Starting point is 00:52:20 i don't know if i would yeah i wouldn't mind being someone's like what one of someone's four husbands and i'm just kind of like in charge of like snacks yeah like you don't have to go to parent teacher night or anything like that you're just kind of in the background making a stew yeah there's no way the other husbands are letting me parent anyone they're all so much bigger than me would it be that this person you're married to would have a type or would it be all over the map would it be like one huge guy and then a couple little guys well yeah she would probably want boy she's got four husbands she'd probably want a cute one a shy one a funny one and john lennon
Starting point is 00:53:14 i thought you were doing n sync all of those plus chris kirk. Yeah. Yeah. The poor guy. He never had a chance, Chris Kirkpatrick. He was always going to be the runt of the litter. Who are the biggest... They should start a musical supergroup of just the runt of the litter with... Oh, yeah. That's a real... That's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Joey Fatone, obviously. Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick. Well, how did Ensign get up with two runs? It's got to have Howie from the Backstreet Boys. Yeah. It's got to have Danny or John from New Kids on the Block. No, for sure it was Dan. No, was Danny the cute one?
Starting point is 00:54:01 John was the one that kind of had an angular face. Is that, do I remember that? His head was kind of had an angular face is that i remember that his head was kind of like a cube it's got to have jungkook from bts yeah absolutely there's one in every group it's just the logic because there's no no you don't be the mark little had a great bit about uh you know in my day you every group had a bad guy but kids today are spoiled because the boy bands they're all beautiful yeah his joke is like
Starting point is 00:54:33 NSYNC had two weirdos they were such a good group like Joey Batone and Chris Kirkpatrick they could hold it down for the whole other group they could yeah they could double bill with somebody all handsome there's also bands where nobody is the handsome one i'm trying to think of somebody where it's like four weirdos or five weirdos
Starting point is 00:54:57 boy bands well just bands in general oh well yeah i feel like bands from the uk they're all kind of weird looking yeah rolling stones they're weird looking but we're so gorgeous everyone on this call yeah yeah yeah yeah well i'm using a filter um so uh what are you gonna do about your truman show life now are you just i don't know what what at the end how does the truman show end does he is he like he does he get like a pension yeah he gets a pension yeah he he retires from being truman um he spoiler alert he uh sails he thinks he sails off into the distance but then he hits a wall and then he gets out and sees that there's a door and then he walks out the door and that's the end
Starting point is 00:55:51 of the truman show oh yeah the whole thing was happening in a bathtub turns out it was a bathtub all along oh wow another bath movie yeah he was having a bath nightmare yeah it uh uh like in the movie there's people that try to warn him that he's in a fake reality like people parachute in and stuff like that oh yeah but yeah he uh he never knows you know uh anyways you're the truman we're all the uh people in the background hey and you might see me twice that's the thing they. And you might see me twice. That's the thing. They cycle through. You might see me as a mailman or,
Starting point is 00:56:28 you know, something like that. Oh, sure. Yeah. A corpse at a funeral. I mean, I hate to see you go, but I'd love to watch you leave.
Starting point is 00:56:38 What's going on with you? In that juicy caboose of yours. Well, last night I was, I was downtown, in that juicy caboose of yours well last night I was downtown in downtown Vancouver there was a book reading at the library that I went
Starting point is 00:56:57 there better be more than one book reading at the library they do it once a year to get their funding and they do it once a year to get their funding um and uh walking up granville street towards the train station there was a store that i'd never seen before and it was very eye-catching store and it was uh it was a candy store like just candies no not like candies and vapes like just candies all the way down and so went in and was talking to the woman behind the till she showed me around yesterday this was yesterday this was yesterday so this is the day after halloween yeah that's right so i didn't go and buy half-priced candy because i was like no you're just gonna eat all that half-priced candy because I was like, no, you're just going to eat all of that half-priced candy yourself.
Starting point is 00:57:45 You're not going to hand it out to anybody. So, yeah, so this is exactly this. The day after Halloween, discover this candy store. The woman that was working there gave me an extensive tour of everything they had. This is where the British snacks are. There's rows and rows of bulk candy. and they've got like every gummy candy you can imagine oh yeah worms they got worms they got uh they had like these little cherry twists that
Starting point is 00:58:14 i ate when i was like a kid and i haven't seen them since uh and like every gummy thing all the possible jelly belly or whatever they're called uh flavors all by flavor and uh yeah the weird like uh sugary cereal from different parts of the world so yeah it was really extensive but uh there was nobody else in there it's just well this is the day after halloween people are pretty they're sick of candy yeah they're full they've got their fun size um yeah it's there's a few of those stores around town and i and they're usually like you know there's a little room to walk around in there like they're not wall-to-wall candy yeah i don't know how the city can support so many of these specialty candy
Starting point is 00:59:06 stores yeah that's what i was thinking like it's i imagine that real estate on an entertainment district street would be at a premium you wouldn't think like this is a cheap place to open up a candy store and like only candy there's nothing else in there um you mentioned that but there's like vapes right yeah oh yeah there were vapes also like a lot of porno magazines from all over the world oh yeah then they had porno magazines in bulk so you didn't you just kind of got yeah and for halloween they have fun size porno mags um did you end up with a lot of uh extra candy from your handing out position me yeah no uh abby was handing out i did the i uh went on the trick-or-treating this time and abby by the end of the night she was telling like, the kids who come after 8 are older.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Yes. And they can, they'll, like, talk to you. The young kids are like, trick or treat. Thank you. Bye. And they run off scared that they had to talk to a stranger. But the, like, 12-year-olds who come at 8.30 are like, how many can we take? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:24 If they're, like, after 8., how many can we take? Yeah. If they're like after eight, they just want after eight. That's yeah. Abby was like, you can take two or three handfuls. Yeah. I want to get rid of this stuff. What was,
Starting point is 01:00:39 what was the, um, brand? What were you doing? Were you doing Abby went normally? I would, we get the four pack of Aero,
Starting point is 01:00:49 Coffee Crisp, Kit Kat, and Smarties. Yeah, a legendary combo. We didn't get any of those this year. Abby got a bunch of lollipops and Reese products and off-brand
Starting point is 01:01:06 Skittles. Scoodles. Scraddles. Bunch of crescents in a tube. Bunch of tubes of crescents. For when your
Starting point is 01:01:22 grandparents come over. Yeah, yeah. Put this in the fridge. it'll last a long time something special about grandparents picking up crosses um i will do were you handing out candy are you in a neighborhood that has trick-or-treaters no we live in a pretty uh like on a pretty major thoroughfare we live on mcgill street so people don't come down because there's a bunch of fucking 18 wheelers going down that road yes so nobody wants to trick-or-treat at those houses um so we were we just went
Starting point is 01:01:57 trick-or-treating with khalil did he like it did he get into it he liked it for the first part of it and then the firecrackers started going off and he got terrified yeah i carried him the rest of the time what uh what did he dress as he was gonna dress as a dalmatian firefighter and you're thinking of marshall from the paw patrol so that's the thing what he's never watched paw patrol so he just came up with that. Parallel thought. But then he got, I think, stage fright or afraid that he might have to put out a fire. He refused to wear the firefighter part of the costume, so he was just a Dalmatian. That's pretty good. Yeah, not bad.
Starting point is 01:02:43 And so he was just an off-duty marshal what do you think about halloween costumes where you have to like people who do the halloween costume but then would put out of the fire people who like kind of do a character thing people who not just wear a costume but also do a voice yeah um i feel like what is what is the worst or what is the best or what do you what just your general thoughts i think if somebody is looking like freddy krueger and talking like freddy krueger that's pretty scary yeah i feel like for for a scary thing it's like don't do this because it's we're in public and you have knives for hands yeah if it's just a character they're doing like if they're dressed as trumbo
Starting point is 01:03:30 pretty cool if they had that giant script or whatever yeah if they're walking around in a bath they had a bath there was someone wearing it had like a homemade vending machine costume full of candy and uh so we went up to this house and it was like i think it was a teenager and then the candy falls out like there's like a thing to release them in a flap that you reach into wow that's maybe maybe a crotch level but like there were like a bunch of chocolate bars displayed on display in this window but they were full-size chocolate bars and you're like oh wow we're gonna get some of these and then no fun no comes out i saw a group of people they were dressed like moths and that one person had like a light so they were all like kind of buzzing around the light i thought that was awesome that's a concept yeah that's a pretty
Starting point is 01:04:30 cool concept it's a vibe it's vibe absolutely um so yeah uh oh yeah my little nephew when you're saying about like little kids being nervous uh my little nephew went to one door and uh my sister-in-law filmed it and he like knocks on the door and he goes, there's nobody here. There's nobody coming. There you go. Yeah, so this candy store
Starting point is 01:05:01 I felt very bad for whoever owns it because i was like this this ends with you buying 200 worth of lollipops no and he did buy some candy and i accidentally took too much and there's no going back on the bulk bid purchase there's no like i don't want these um so yeah i was looking around enjoying the the candy colors and then by the time i left there was probably like 20 people in there like it just all of a sudden people i don't know if the bars let out or if it's just something like a group maybe you're a taste maker well that could be and then i blew up my own spot yeah maybe if you like what graham does
Starting point is 01:05:45 it's like oh well i gotta do what graham does yeah yeah um that's my uh that's my role in the background of the truman show as a tastemaker an influencer um but yeah it was full and i was like how many i can't imagine why all these people suddenly need very boutique candy, but something must have happened. I don't know if there was a hockey game or something, but just all of a sudden there was this group. What time of day was this? This was about
Starting point is 01:06:16 8.30pm, 8.30 or 9 o'clock pm, which is also a weird time for a candy store to be open. It is, yeah. Into the evening. But, uh, so they're doing alright. I thought they were going to be open. It is, yeah. Into the evening. But, uh, so they're doing alright. I thought they were going to be going out of business. Quite the opposite. They're making it happen.
Starting point is 01:06:32 We're open 24 hours. We can't keep up with demand. It's fucked up, dude. Break out the fun size. That's all we got left. left dude i can't hold them back any longer did you when you were of a trick-or-treating age do you ever have somebody just dump the
Starting point is 01:06:58 remains of a bowl in your bag like you're the last person there it happens all the time now it's like one person a block has just left uh left a bowl up nice nice really is a test of your uh conscious system yeah yeah and uh you know what i'm not afraid to say i failed on multiple occasions um do you guys want to move on to some overheards sure man i'd love to hi i'm jackie cation hello i'm laurie kilmerton we do a podcast called the jackie and laurie show and you could listen to it anytime you want it because there's Jackie and Lori show.

That's a threat? It's a threat.
Starting point is 01:10:08 Yeah, he had a little knife with him, too. That's how you know a baby means business. Yeah, that's something like a robber would do. It's like, get on the ground and count to 100. And now I'm going to eat all your mozzarella sticks. I'm not going to eat them all, but when you're done counting, that's when I'm going to stop. You hear a bunch of rummaging around. He's like, where's your fucking oyster sauce?
Starting point is 01:10:38 I'm going to put rabbit ears behind your head and count to a hundred and you're going to have a hundred girlfriends. Yeah, being robbed will be the least of your concerns yeah you're gonna have to satisfy them that was the thing about like uh like people who die as martyrs in islam that is like you get 72 virgins is like that's so much work dude yeah holy shit they all suck at sex yeah you're like oh man they're like they're like a fucking civil service job or something it's not it's not though there's no guarantee when you get to heaven what gender they are so you just get there it's like well 72 dudes that i have to teach you how to have sex
Starting point is 01:11:36 it's heaven for them to not know how to have sex yeah are they are they virgins when they die and that's how they go into it are they mythical like like in new have like they were just invented in heaven yeah that's the question too because it's like are they 72 specific virgins from uh this picture I drew. In my mind, the only ethical way to do it, if it's 72 virgins that opted in to having sex with you, then, and I am no prize. So,
Starting point is 01:12:15 or do you think like they arrive and then whoever's at the, the gate or the entrance says like, you can either go in as what you are right now or we can switch you we can give your virginity back or when they're getting into heaven and they're like oh god I don't want to be one of these 72 virgins quick let's have
Starting point is 01:12:38 sex before we get into heaven in the lineup that's the Islam's version of we gotta lose our virginity before Yeah. We gotta lose our virginity before heaven. Or else we're gonna have to we're gonna have to marry
