Podcaster Stefan Heck joins us to talk Frank D’Angelo movies, beach fries, and Fast X.

Hi, he's Dave Shumka. And he's Graham Clark. And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself. Woo! Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 802 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Grant Parker. With me as always is a man who's got some pretty strong opinions about the players of the Canucks dogs, Mr. Dave Shumka. Yeah, they're all on this calendar behind me and it's just impossible to ignore.

I don't have a ton of strong opinions on them. They're all good. There's no, there's no, I was going to say wiener dog, but that's what. Well, that is a kind of dog. Yeah, that have a ton of strong opinions on them they're all good there's no there's no uh i was gonna say wiener dog but that's well that is a kind of yeah there's a kind of dog um no i'm not like orchestrating trades i'm not like who would dogs could we sign in the off season that would be fun who's coming up with a dog draft puppy draft would be amazing puppy draft would be good like a puppy bowl but, but just just try it. Do you like feel bad for the guy who doesn't get picked?

The dog doesn't know. Yeah, that's true. But does he not see all the other dogs go to you know, you throw him a little cheese, he'll be fine. Sure. They should do that in the regular draft. I agree. When the players don't get drafted.

Oh, okay. Alright. Our guest Sure. They should do that on the regular draft. I agree. When the players don't get drafted. You're so good at it. Oh, okay. All right. Our guest here to the podcast, first time guest on the show, he has his own fantastic podcast

called Blocked Party and he also has a podcast called The Go F Kings on Twitch. It's Stefan Heck, everybody. Hi, guys.

How are you? Would you call that a podcast on Twitch? Well, it's a stream, I think. It's a Twitch stream, but it is podcast adjacent, I would say. Yeah. I was thinking for the dog draft to spice it up a bit. If a dog doesn't get picked, it gets put down.

I was going to say it gets euthanized. That is spiced up. Although it is, unfortunately, you find out later the draft was for a dog fighting ring as well. So it's win-win? It's lose-lose for everyone. That's true, no matter what. I also noticed on the calendar it shows the dog's favorite holiday. Yes.

I mean, how did they figure that out? Christmas. It's got to be Christmas for all. I mean, I don't think a dog is picking Fourth of July or Halloween. No. Any of Firework. Absolutely. What else would they like? Yeah. They'd love Valentine's Day because they like to eat chocolate and duds. I mean, I don't think a dog is picking 4th of July or Halloween. No, no. Any of firework, absolutely. What else would they like?

Yeah. They'd love Valentine's Day because they like to eat chocolate and die. Well, yeah, Halloween has to be the least favorite because you've got chocolate, you've got loud noises, and you've got people wearing masks and strangers coming to your door. That's true. Doorbells, yeah. That's just hell for the dog. St. Patrick's Day is probably pretty good if you get drunk and drop stuff on the floor and the dog can eat it. Yeah. for the dog. St. Patrick's Day is probably pretty good if you get drunk and drop stuff on the floor and the dog can eat it.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. The dogs love corned beef hash and shamrock shakes. Just trying to now, I'm just like, boy, what are the holidays? Easter, too much chocolate and like hidden chocolate that they'll dig up and find. Yeah.

I think if you go through that calendar, it's got to be it's christmas for probably all the dogs well i don't know that they did it for every dog oh did they sort of change up oh favorite holiday fourth of july there's no way for delilah demko yeah there's no way um and these uh these are the dermot some of them didn't get the yeah these ones only got favorite food and favorite hobby relaxing his favorite hobby of dermot is favorite hobby of Dermot. And favorite food is anything edible. So food. Sure.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Labor Day is good. Oh, you know what? Fourth of July, they might get a hot dog. That's true. That's true. That is true.

And probably they'll go outside to like a picnic or something. They might see other dogs. Yeah. Yeah. Social holidays. Yeah. The fireworks, obviously. I'd see other dogs. Yeah. Yeah. Social holidays. Yeah. The fireworks, obviously, I don't think any dog is,

I mean, Halloween fireworks, is that only a BC thing? It's a Vancouver thing, yeah. It's so weird. I mean, I think it's probably a lot of places that just have fireworks that are illegal. Right.

Like any occasion is a good occasion for fireworks. I remember telling friends growing up like, oh, Halloween's coming up. I can't wait to blow a bunch of shit up with my other friends and, you know,

they're from Ontario or whatever and they're like, what are you talking about? What do you think Halloween is? I did not realize that was a just Vancouver thing for the longest time.

Yeah, we could blow shit up and assault somebody if I get a chance. Of course, Remembrance Day, the dogs are very solemn. Yeah. They like that.

They like... There's like a gun salute of some kind. Yeah, that is true but they love hearing taps on the bugle yeah and of course it's also a holiday so sad you might accidentally knock some food onto the floor and they like that that's true yeah what's like a what's a charcuterie holiday oh that's the thing that best deal loves Best deal day Yeah Oh okay Yeah Alright Yeah I feel like boxing day Is a good day of like

Leftover turkey Yeah And sloth I mean you're just laying down Yeah So you could drop Again dropping food on the floor Seems very key

Well and also you're maybe In a good mood Because it's the holiday season So you're more likely To feed the dog Yeah You're drunk Yeah

You're you know Hey the dog R dog rhymes with nog How about some of this? I like that it rhymes with nog Yeah So you would give it some nog then? I'd give it maybe a handful A handful?

Like a little cup in my hand Okay I used to do that with my old dog I'd pour a little bit of beer in his hand In his hand? Don't you, don't, start with me In my hand. And he would, uh, he'd get, he'd get really excited about the little bit of

beer and he would, uh, bark at my hand and then he would come over and he would lick it up and his, uh, he hated the bubbles, but he loved them as well. It was like, uh, and his, his lips would go crazy. Now his beer, it's not bad for dogs, right? Um, the amount he was drinking, it was definitely. Intervention time. Yeah. What was his favorite beer?

Probably. Like a stout, maybe? Yeah. That seems like a dog beer. You're trying to think of a dog. Yeah, I was trying to think of a dog beer. The king of beers. No, dogs aren't kings.

Is there like red dog ale or something probably probably somewhere yeah okay uh or bud budweiser like the dog is your bud yeah yeah i was kind of thinking like barely even a joke who was the don't flatter yourself uh what uh who is spuds mckenzie a spokesman for was he budweiseriser or was he? I think he was Bud Light. Yeah. Oh, well, so they. Spuds McKenzie has gone woke, I think. Yeah, the dogs are going woke.

Yeah. Shall we get to know us? Yeah. Get to know us. What was the other brand that got in, was lots of people were boycotting, just like yesterday something started up. It's another redneck-y brand. I'm guessing it was something like quite stupid and for like a bad reason, right? Yeah. Maybe it's Hanes.

Okay, that doesn't really narrow it down at all. That is a redneck-y brand. All the good old boys in there, tiny whiteys. I'm boycotting Fruit of the Loom because they don't actually have the cornucopia in the logo. The longest time I thought they did. Which one was Michael Jordan? Hanes. And that was the Hitler mustache.

That was the Hitler mustache. This is the perfect time to debut my Hitler mustache. My Hanes hat. So I don't think they went broke. Or went woke. I mean, go woke, go broke. Hanes was... what was their slogan? Wait till we get our Haynes on you? Wait till we get our Haynes on you.

Yeah, actually. Yeah. Vaguely threatening. And then they would have Michael Jordan rubbing his palms together, all creepy. Oh, I've come out of a funny name. You know how the, you know. Is this for the dog beer? No, but this involves me rubbing my hands together.

You know how Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire and a few other actors were part of the. Pussy Posse. Pussy Posse. Yeah. I thought a better name for them would be the Grope Group. Grope Group's good. Okay. Yeah.

That's catchy. There's a lot of names on the table let's not let's not nail us down with just one fellas uh we are recording in person for the first time in weeks uh love it love being back i love seeing your faces you too okay uh stefan if people have never heard Block Party before, run us through it. Tell us what the, it's a great conceit and it's so much fun to do. Well, we came up with the name first. Nice.

It's Blocked Party. Blocked Party. Yeah. So, I mean, essentially the conceit is we have people on, usually they're funny. And. Have you had anybody really dour somebody who's like not funny at all

a good eulogist I mean we had Tony Hawk on although he was pretty funny I imagine he's funny Tony Hawk's quite funny oh he's so funny

yeah I saw he did the funniest jump he did a silly little spin in the air he landed backwards yeah he did something like there was a video going around of him. I guess it's a trick he's done like a million times, but he like has a glass of milk or something.

And he does the jump and doesn't spill. That's pretty good. A drop. That's pretty good. That's pretty funny to do milk. Yeah. Yeah. But the conceit is we have Tony Hawk on every week.

Cool. No, we have someone on and they talk about a time they were blocked on social media by like a celebrity or a brand a lot of the time but uh most of the time we have like a woman on uh they've been blocked or had to block an insane ex-boyfriend so it sort of that's not so various i think yeah also the block tail at this point we've done john's gonna be mad at me for not knowing how many episodes we've done we've done a lot we've done over 250 yeah that sounds i think that's right we're approaching 250 i think um five years ish yeah the blog is not really the important part of the show no oftentimes it's like a two-minute story and we're like all right that was good moving on yeah no but it's

such a great like uh idea, idea for a podcast. Cause it's very easy. Everyone sort of has a story. Yeah. Like a stories. Well, you were, well, I was struggled. I don't have the, uh, I didn't, I couldn't think of anyone who had blocked me. Yeah.

And I didn't, I don't really like fight with people. Right. On there. Yeah. Uh, I'm sort of like America's sweetheart. Uh, but I, uh, there was the restaurant up the street, the Captain's Boil. Oh yeah, that's right. And I tried to.

Yeah. I tried to fight with them. Didn't you end up blocking them maybe? Or was it? I can't, I don't remember. But they definitely went out of business. Or at least that location. I think there's still one on like Kingsway.

Yeah, there's a few. We've, my girlfriend and I ordered from there there this is like the height of the pandemic and we got they were essential workers we got it to go yeah which is psychotic yeah because we just had on our coffee table just a huge plastic sack of like sea spiders yeah it was disgusting because it's like the kind of thing where they put a paper down on the table and then they give you, even in restaurant, they give you the plastic sacks. It's essentially like an 1800s operating theater.

Yeah. The Nick is over there. And it was like, I mean, it was good, but it was also like, this is like the most disgusting meal I've ever had in my entire life. Because it's just, it's literally just a plastic bag, a hot plastic bag filled with like like crawdads or whatever and like shrimp and then like do you have to know

because like i don't know i'm allergic to shellfish so i don't know how you know how to eat something if it's got the shell or right yeah it's very um uh what would you what what's the word for like how a caveman is It's very primal Yeah you're just ripping it apart Oh okay there's not like a particular It's like rip and suck Yeah it is

The captain's foil rip and suck Have you unblocked them since then I don't know if Yeah I've certainly unblocked them Because they come up at my feet all the time They make terrible puns. They've got a terrible social media presence, but they, I have still never had their food. And I love that kind of food.

I love just like sloppy, buttery shellfish. And like spicy, they do like spicy as well. So your hands will just get covered in like a coating of some kind. And then that, how long does that last for well quite a while yeah i also imagine that getting it take out or at least it wasn't delivery i imagine that like in the height of the pandemic getting captain's world delivery would be like just like stink up the guy's car but also would be like 250 bucks yeah that too yeah yeah no we went to pick it up and which is i mean I don't think we're ever doing that again.

Okay. So you're more of a dine-in person now? I think so, yeah. And maybe like a different restaurant, not that one. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. It tasted fine. It's just like.

It's funny that it's in a plastic bag and like, like just trying to picture getting spaghetti in a plastic bag or something. That is what it's like, basically. Yeah, just like food, bunk. Also wet, hot plastic bag. Yeah. It's also strange because now restaurants aren't allowed plastic bags in Vancouver anymore.

Oh, yeah. I wonder what they do about that. A canvas tote. Just like a really wet paper bag and it's just leaking through. Yeah. They probably tried that at least once. Or the like, there's the like plastic

or paper kind of boxes that have a little coating on the inside. A little wax on the inside. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever, do you ever go to like a coffee shop and ask for a straw for like an ice drink and they actually give you a plastic one that they just have like laying back there? No. Well, it happened at a convenience store where the guy was like, I'm not doing that, man.

You could tell he was like, he probably also sold cigarettes to kids. Oh, right. Okay, yeah. Because it feels like you won the lottery almost. Oh, yeah. I mean, I feel like paper straw technology has gotten better. But still, I had like a root beer at A&W, and by the time I got halfway down, it was just pulp. I think also with something like root beer, something a bit more like acidic too, right? But if I'm having like a green tea or something, paper straw will hold up for the most part. hope. I think also with something like root beer, something a bit more like acidic too, right? It's going to, but if

I'm having like a green tea or something, the paper straw will hold up for the most part. Yeah. Okay. That's what my problem with root beer is like,

ooh, too acidic. Ah, my tongue, it's burning my tongue. I actually, I said that we, we did a very stupid thing on our stream last week called challenge night where we

did my co-host and I, so Jesse Farrar, who also co-hosts a very funny podcast called your Kickstarter sucks. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, which is great. He's,

he's very funny. We did a challenge night where we were doing challenges against each other. And one of them was chugging seltzer out of a huge glass boot that we had both purchased off Amazon. Oh, nice. Nice. Um, cause there's this guy we watch,

we watch a lot of like bad things on purpose on the stream. And usually it's related to, like, guys reviewing fast food in their car. Okay. But there's one guy who's sort of adjacent to that. His name is Badlands Chugs. Have you heard of him? I've heard the name. He's the best drink chugging guy in the world.

Oh, is he the, does he have a mullet? No, he's, he's. You're thinking of Baby Gronk. But he was at, he goes to, like nathan's hot dog eating contest he does the hot dog contest too he's not as good at that okay but he will just chug a drink in no time at all so like we should we should try this also and we like him he's very charismatic he's very funny he's genuinely talented um so we did we did one he i mean legitimately he is we did we did one with water first uh which was not that difficult it's still like a lot are you someone who can chug things okay no so this

guy can probably he doesn't have to swallow he just has to open up and it just it's great and you do that crazy it's because i know if i could do that i'd be in a limousine right now but it's like yeah the people who can do it act like it's commonplace like i mean but is it a learned thing or is it just i think it's gotta be yeah i think it is yeah you can teach your body to do it because i remember watching a thing about a competitive eater and he would he would swallow things that were like bigger than his throat so that he could just like force it down as opposed to yeah actually like swallowing it so i think uh to all those kids out there who uh who want to chug stuff yeah start putting a golf ball down there so start small and then yeah yeah

but we chugged uh seltzer to end the stream and jesse was he did it great i i gave up about like three sips in because it just like it you feel like going up your nose sort of yeah it was too much and it was hibiscus lacroix i think which is a great flavor yeah maybe not designed for chugging yeah necessarily i uh so did you do that you like had the giant boot yeah and you have to like twist it in the middle because otherwise there's which i learned from watching the movie beer. Yeah. We've all learned that from beer fest. And that's a real thing.

Apparently, uh, they didn't make up the idea of the bubble in the toe. Um, so we were turning it as we drank it. Cause I, I tried it without turning at one point, like off stream to practice.

And it does just like, you do get hit with the bubble. Right. And it just splashes. So when you do the water out of the glass boot, uh, how, how long, and you can't chug, like you can't open your throat up. Are you just drink, drink, drink?

Like you keep your mouth on it the whole time? Basically. Yeah. And it takes forever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not fun.

It goes down your shirt. You just feel, it does. And then you just can feel it like sloshing around as well. Oh yeah. That's why I don't drink water. That's why you eat a little sponge toffee before you go. Sit up a little bit.

Oh, that's smart. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, I'm trying to get into the fast eating circuit. I unfortunately do the wrong thing and I go to weddings and I eat a bunch of dry rice. And then when I drink all the water, I explode and die. Yeah. In midair.

I hate when that happens. Yeah. That's not good. Did you see the hot dog eating contest was briefly delayed yesterday due to a lightning storm? Okay. Okay, listeners. We're recording this on July 5th.

Sorry for dating it. Yeah. But still, it's important that we discuss this. I was just thinking how funny of an idea it would be, because everyone there must have just been so pissed off right um the type of person who goes to coney island to watch the contest right um and just a bunch of guys from like long island or staten island or whatever like i mean i'm saying this like i'm like a new york guy but you know what i mean yeah yeah yeah and i'm just picturing a guy being there uh in the crowd and being like you know what

i'm glad they canceled it we got to keep the contestant's safety in mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he just gets like killed. They just like start beating the hell out of him. Somebody gets hit by lightning halfway through the eating contest and then become like a super. Oh, yeah. I was going to say it would make them better. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like all of a sudden they've got this amazing power. Yeah. Blow that other guy. What's the guy? Joey Chestnut. Joey Chestnut. And he won again. Did he? Have you seen the 30 for guy that Joey Chestnut. So have you seen the

30 for 30 about Joey Chestnut and the Japanese fellow Kobayashi. Kobayashi. I have not. There is a 30 for 30 about it.

I have not seen it either. Uh, but I did discover the TSN app has free 30 for 30. Oh really? Yeah. Okay.

Okay. 30 for 30 is great. Yeah. Then they have that new, uh, American Gladiators. I've heard that's quite good. There's one on Netflix too. But then there's also one on Netflix. Yeah. 30 for 30 is great. Yeah. Then they have that new American Gladiators one. I've heard that's quite good. There's one on Netflix too.

But then there's also one on Netflix. Yeah. Why do we need two of every documentary? It's like a Dante's Peak volcano situation. But there's, it's happening more and more like the Firefest one. Oh, right. There were two of those. The Woodstock 99.

Yeah. The NXIVM shows. The, it's like, if you are second to market with your documentary about, oh, let's say, freaking the. Elizabeth's whatever her name is. Yeah. I'm just trying to think of a new, like what the next one would be about. Like the Cronut. The one about the American Gladiator?

The Cronut documentary. Yeah. Have you ever had a Cronut. The one about the American Gladiator? The Cronut documentary. Yeah. Have you ever had a Cronut? No. They're really good. Oh, okay. They're quite good. You don't have to watch the documentary.

Oh. But like, if you're second to Margaret, are you so mad? Are you like, well, I don't know. It's not necessarily being first is the best. Maybe that wets everybody's appetite and they blow it out of the water. Cause what was, what was first with,

there was like Armageddon and Deep Impact. Those are both like bad movies. But like, could you tell me who was in Deep Impact? Oh, was it, was Morgan Freeman the president? Was Morgan Freeman the president?

I think so. I think he was. Yeah. But it's not, you know, it's not Armageddon. Armageddon was. Ben Affleck,

Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler. Liv Tyler, Aerosmith songleck, Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler. Aerosmith song written for it. Steven Tyler. Billy Bob Thornton, was he involved? That sounds right. Maybe that's Sling Blade. Oh yeah, I was thinking of Sling Blade. Also, is Steve Buscemi part of it?

Are you thinking of Con Air? Are you thinking of Con Air? I watched Independence Day yesterday. Oh, because it was. It it was yeah i mean no it was july 30th yeah like listeners assume we record day yeah uh and it i mean you know it's like a big stupid movie but it was it was fun i saw it in the theater it still holds up the effects are pretty yeah like because they were all model things blowing up. Spaceships and stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. It's one of those things where it is, uh, it's got, um, like, you know how everyone's like,

uh, you know, he, he never says, beam me up, Scotty in, uh, Star Trek.

That's never a line that he actually says. Right. He never says play it again Scotty Or I Like I'm pretty sure Sherlock Holmes Never said Elementary by Dear Watson

It was just But they In Independence Day He never says Welcome to Earth No No he doesn't He doesn't

It's Earth He says Earth It's very clear Clearly I think it's cause People think about him With a cigar in his mouth Right

And he's like Talking with a cigar In his mouth maybe But he does say earth yeah it was for the look he doesn't like it yeah right not that about will smith well and then he says welcome to nerf and he shoots them with a little orange gun oh it's a good movie that was uh yeah it rules uh i love when they blow up all the stuff yeah the sequel's so bad it's how many years later came out in 2016 i think it was exactly 20 years later and it was absolute like it's dog will smith wasn't in it no and bill pullman yeah he's like he was the president but now he's like kind of a homeless guy doesn't he have like ptsd or something and

he keeps like uh because he can still communicate with the aliens or something yeah yeah that's been really like messing with his mind so he is he's like uh i feel like he's derelict that at one point in the movie starts out like wearing a shabby coat and has to like get back to president level don't they have term limits not after the aliens attack there was we got to keep the guy who bought out the alien what's the boy how many people die in it like is there a because in the first one a lot of people well i mean i mean in the first one oh well they like la gets destroyed yeah i think a lot of the big cities They nuke Houston At one point Yeah They blow up New York The Americans The Americans nuke their own city?

Well because the ship Is above Houston And they're like We have to destroy the ship somehow With the nukes And then it There's like a shield Or something

Oh wow Can you imagine Competing against Bill Pullman's president In the next election? Like Like vote for me I was the guy who saved the whole planet. Yeah.

But look at the, his fiscal spending. He nuked Houston guys. Um, the, uh, what's the best, like,

how do I want to word this bad boy? Yeah. What is a movie that was an average movie, but you saw it in the theater and it made it so great? Because I have mine. That's a very good question. Mine is Air Force One. Oh, that's a good question.

Oh, yeah. It was so exciting when he said, get off my plane and broke Gary Oldman's neck. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I would say The Mummy. The original Mummy. Well, I guess not the original Mummy, because that's from like 1920. That's the one I figured.

Yeah. The Brendan Fraser one, which like, I think that's like a good movie. But I took my mom to see it in theaters for Mother's Day when I was like 10 years old or something. Okay. And so i have that memory associated who is she like uh thanks no she chose it she loves she loves movies like like we're gonna go see the meg too okay uh when that comes nice which is directed by ben wheatley who's not who's that i would say he's not a blockbuster movie director what is he he directed a black and

white movie called a field in england which is about a bunch of guys in a field in England. Like the 1400s. I like when a name gives me exactly what I want. Yeah. So he's done a lot of movies that I would say are not the same genre as The Meg 2. Sure. But I think, obviously they're probably paying him a lot of money, I would assume. But I think he also really does want to. He's a lot of money I would assume But I think he also

Really does want to He's not doing this Under duress I don't think so This isn't Community service It might be But it's a big shark movie

Yeah And I feel like We need more of those You know The Meg was a lot of fun I never saw it It was good I loved it

Deep Blue Sea A classic Deep Blue Sea is amazing That's another one That might be on the list For seeing in theaters And it's better Yeah yeah yeah

Oh yeah Oh I know the one for sure because we were hooting and hollering the whole time was showgirls oh seeing that in the theater all right how old were you oh we had to sneak it because they specifically said no children i know and i was like i'm not a child i wore a suit. That is quite a horny movie. It was extremely horny and it was extremely hilarious. And you were a horny guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Still to this day.

Some people say, hell yeah. Some people say. My parents rented stripes for my sister and I when we were too young to see stripes. Yeah. There's some nudity in that. There's a lot of nudity in that. There's a scene very early on, if I recall correctly, because I think I've watched it since then,

but they got it from Blockbuster and they're like, because I think we had watched like Ghostbusters and they were like, this is along the same lines as Ghostbusters. Yeah. But there's like very early on, there's just like a shower scene where there's a bunch of naked women showering and soaping themselves up. And then a guy looking through a peephole being like, oh, I wish I was that loofah,

you know? And I think we turned it off at that point. You say your parents rented this for you and your sister. Were they like, okay, enjoy. We'll be, they were sitting there to watch.

Cause they, they were like, this is one of our favorite movies. We watched this in theaters when it came out. Let's, we'll all watch it together. Yeah. And there is no worse feeling as like a kid than watching a movie with your

parents. And there's like a sex scene or like nudity or something. It doesn't go away when you're an adult because I've had it with my parents. You've had it with your parents? Yeah. With the movie Hustlers. We watched Hustlers and it was like, oh, we thought it was kind of, it would be, you know, like suggestive. That's the J-Lo. Yes.

Oh, that is, there's a lot of. It's all stripping on top. It's kind of like the entire movie actually. It's a good movie. Yeah. It was a lot is there's a lot of stripping on the entire movie actually it's a good movie yeah it was a lot of fun a lot of stripping a lot of stripping a lot of nudity a lot of uh i thought it would be more innuendo than uh oh it's it's just kind of like it's in your face yeah oh yeah it's great not a parent movie i would say no and we're already you know theaters no this is at home like on demand or whatever and it was just uh we'd already gotten 40 minutes into it i was like well we're sunk

costs like we should just finish this movie we've already been sitting around as there's been naked people right on the screen so yeah it's weird you watch a movie like that at home and you can get up and leave like in the theater you're kind of trapped and yet it feels more awkward at home because yeah you're like this is my own home yeah and i can look at you for choosing this movie like i feel like there's more of an investment of time at a movie theater you're like oh yeah we all agreed we wanted to go see this it's dark in there too you know so you can put a little hole in the bottom of the popcorn exactly but like i think back in the day you had to go to the video store you had to decide as a as a unit what movie you were gonna get and

that was always and you get pulled by the cover oh boy yeah i remember my brothers and I rented the movie Carnosaur. Have you ever seen Carnosaur? I have not. Was this kind of like post-Jurassic Park? Yes. And they were capitalizing. Yeah, I think like their whole thing was like, maybe people will rent it by mistake. Right.

I feel like that was their whole. There are a lot of movies that sort of, yeah. Yeah, you're like, yeah, this is as good as Jurassic Park. Steven Seagal, a lot of his later. What's your favorite Seagal pick? I haven't watched too many of his movies. I guess Under Siege is the classic. That's the classic.

There's one he did recently. Well, look. I think all of his recent movies, he's filming them in like Slovenia. And he's sitting in a chair the entire time. Yeah. Yeah. I forget the name. There's one that is, the trailer for it is so funny.

And he's just like at one point they cut to him driving and it legitimately looks exactly like the um like toonses the cat he's got like the green screen it's so i mean he's just like not i think he lives in like belarus now or something as well have you seen the picture of him with the belarussian president where he's giving him, uh, the Belarusian president is giving him a bunch of like big vegetables. It's like maybe, it might be my favorite picture of all time, but it's, and if you just Google Steven Seagal carrot, he's, he's handing him, although the video is very funny too, because

he hands him this huge carrot and Steven Seagal takes a big bite out of it. And it's just kind of like nodding at the camera. And I think he gets a maybe he gets a melon at one point as well. There he is eating a carrot. Yeah.

Just one of my favorite pictures ever. Do you guys think he dyes his hair? No. Got some big melons. Yeah. Just a lot of carrot.

I was picturing a bigger carrot. I'll be honest. But he's lying over there. He's saying that he's the Joey Chestnut champion. And they don't know. They don't have American TV. Yeah. So they're like, bring him food.

That's what he likes. He looks great. This was like 10 years ago. Also, this is the president I'm looking at that's in basically a coach, soccer coach. Yeah. And I want to say he's still president now, probably because he's so popular. All right. I'm putting it away.

It was a good Steven Seagal movie with him and DMX. Oh. Exit Wounds? I think it was Exit Wounds. Yeah. That was a big like. DMX had a great action movie run there. He did.

Yeah. So did, I was going to say Rodney Dangerfield. Nope, Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman was in Double Team or Double Cross? Double, I want to say it's called Double Impact, but it might have been Double Team. Yeah. And then he was in a couple other ones that were definitely direct to video.

Him palling around with somebody. Yeah. But, you know then it was in a couple other ones that were definitely direct to video him palling around with somebody. Yeah. Um, but you know, it was just him. Like that was, they didn't change the underlying character. He was just Dennis Rodman. I mean, you hear the phrase, like they don't make movies like that anymore. They can't make movies like that anymore. And usually it's about like that, that Jennifer Lawrence sex comedy that just came out, which apparently is quite good.

Yeah. And, but we used to get like 10 of those a year for sure i do also think it's funny for people to specifically reference that movie and be like they don't make movies like this anymore yeah they do you're talking about it yeah it just came out but i think the movies they don't make anymore are yeah those like dennis rodman or like shack yeah just a movie with shack with just a guy who's like famous for something else you don't see that as much and i'll just like really i mean i i guess they still make shitty movies but not like that kind of we were watching a bunch of old trailers from like 1995 on the stream the other day for which uh one of them is called fluke, where Matthew Modine plays. I know. He is reincarnated as a dog. And has to sort of communicate that to his wife and kid who have adopted him. But he communicates.

Can he speak? I don't think so. Okay. So did they get him from a no-kill shelter? Or how did they adopt him? I think he escapes or something. The trailer, it's really unclear what's going on. At at one point in the trailer and we sort of went back and watched this part several times there is a scene where a bunch of animals are escaping from a lab okay

and legitimately there is a chimp holding a dog nice and the dog is like struggling and it's just like i that's something i don't think you you absolutely cannot do you literally cannot they just don't make them like that anymore i think that's i mean chimps are very dangerous yeah there's yeah that was part of the draft the dog draft yeah i got drafted by the chimp but we watched that and then the one trailer we didn't watch um and i watched off stream because we're like ah we probably shouldn't watch this one on stream have you heard of the the john travolta harry belafonte movie do you know no for it was right after pulp fiction and i think it was an hbo movie and it is called white

man's burden okay and the concept of it is that it's in an alternate America where like black people are in power and so John Travolta talks in this voice that I'm not going to go into any detail about. But you'll do it for us. Of course, yeah. And Harry Belafonte is like this rich guy and I mean, I cannot believe

this movie was made. Terrifying. I know. It's so sad. everyone's so woke now we can't have white men's burden again when you were talking about people who like they would if someone was famous for six months they'd give them a movie yeah yeah i was just thinking about the animal with uh rob schneider he's the he's in it he becomes all the animals yeah i don't know yeah uh i think it's the animal and and uh the romantic lead was colleen from season one of survivor that's right oh what really yeah wow i look at her now yeah oh yeah she threw a frisbee and he caught it oh because

he was a he's a dog yeah i guess he turned into the animal the one that i can't believe was made like i could i could imagine it being made during the 40 one that i can't believe was made like i could i could imagine it being made during the 40s but i can't believe it was made in like the early aughts was tiptoes oh yeah i've i've seen that that movie is what that is crazy it's uh gary oldman right yeah gary oldman great they're all playing all the leads in it are playing little people and it's uh who is it mcconaughey isn't it oh i feel like he is and uh kate beckinsale is in it too i think yeah and he they're all playing little people he and kate beckinsale are the two is kate beckinsale playing a little person in that

or i know gary oldman is gary oldman is for sure and it's crazy. It's crazy. Like they've, they've, uh, I don't even know if they digitally, I think it may be just like the door. Yeah. And it seems like something you've been like, Oh yeah, this was,

you know, 1942, like 2004. Yeah. It's like the craziest. It's also like a really bad movie. Even putting aside the insane concept for it. It's just a quite a what if it was great that'd be really funny yeah and everybody has to just like grudgingly yeah best picture goes to tiptoes

and then it's called tiptoes yeah that's another oh and doesn't isn't the whole the whole thing thing that Gary Oldman's character is like, he's like a big mess as well. Yeah. He's an alcoholic. Yeah. And like. And he, it's, it's, I think it's McConaughey and he's marrying into the family.

I think that sounds right. And I think Kate Beckinsale is like the one member of the family that's of average height. Yes. I think that's right. And then he meets the family. And the entire family. Yeah. It's like meet the parent. Meet the parents. Yeah. And then he meets the family. And the entire family. Yeah. It's like meet the parents.

Meet the parents. Yeah. Meets Charlie and the Jockers. And not, it's not a comedy. No. It's like a straight up. It's very serious. Yeah.

Anyways, how do these movies, what is with these, Hollywood is crazy. What's your, what's your favorite bad movie? Like one that you've watched more than once. God. I think it has to be a Frank D'Angelo one. Would your listeners know of Frank D'Angelo? It's been years since we've

talked about Frank D'Angelo. He ran for mayor. Of Toronto? He got like 40 votes. Still more than I would think. I mean, I would have voted for him. Yeah, me too. Yeah. He's completely insane. He is a...

He's like a mogul-ish. He's a sort of mogul. Canadians... I first came to know him because he had a commercial that was on during hockey. Oh, looking at Canada. Yeah. For a cheetah. For a cheetah power surge energy drink.

And he also had a beer called like steel something. And I think a cheese. Was there like a. I know he's like, I think he's the heir to the Saputo fortune or something like that. Yeah. So I know his dad founded a bunch of stuff, I think. Yeah. And then he, a lot of Frank's ventures, and there's a lot of ventures.

Oh, yes. Were, I believe, funded by Barry Sherman. Oh, the late billionaire. The murdered billionaire. Mystery murder billionaire. Yeah. So he hasn't really made any movies since his billionaire benefactor was murdered. But have you guys seen, you've seen some of his movies?

I've seen, we saw one where he was like, I don't know, he sings in it, but he probably sings in all of them. That's most of them, I think. Yeah.

Was it Sicilian Vampire? Sicilian Vampire, I've seen for sure. That movie is so good. It's so good. How many of them have you seen? I've probably seen

five or six of them. I think I've seen two. So what's the other one? I'm trying to think. It might've been The been the neighborhood which is just his kind of straightforward like because he makes he just wants to make like mob movies a lot of the time right yeah this one was a mob he plays a comedian oh yes yeah that's the other uh which is called the joke thief yeah that movie is bonkers so the concept of that movie i mean i don I don't even know if it's a concept, but basically he's like a famous comedian. Yeah.

Who is like disgraced because he's apparently stolen a joke. Although you never find out what the joke was or like, it's like not really referenced at all. Yeah. And then basically the whole movie is, and this is similar to his hockey movie, which is, I think. I didn't know he had a hockey movie. Oh, I'll tell you all about the hockey movie. But I think basically what happened is Frank was probably throwing some sort of like charity do. Right.

And got a lot of his comedian friends to just do sets at the show he was throwing. And they filmed it and sort of made the movie around that. Is what it felt like to me. And like Ed the Sock is doing a set great this is good um i like that somebody in america will be watching this movie and be like this is bad why is there talking sock yeah i mean he kills don't get me wrong he is great uh mike marino is the headliner whose uh whole bit is that he's like very italian oh yeah um i know that in the one i saw richard lett local comedian or i don't know if he's local anymore but he was in he was in the like uh do up band okay yeah

that's sicilian vampire i think where they go up on stage don't think it was well he does it in i think he might do it in the neighborhood as well and he's got um anyway the the comedy one the concept of it is that there's this show that's happening and this is this is just like frank's understanding of like the comedy world i guess uh but it's clearly filmed in toronto or like mississauga yeah it's supposed to be set in new york he was like the biggest comic in the world or in the u.s at one point right and this is his chance to kind of get back in everyone's good books and become famous again. This is his last chance. And it's a live comedy show that's being broadcast across the nation.

And he has to get there. And so the whole movie is him in an Uber. This is good. And there's like flashbacks to him when he was younger. And you can tell he's younger because his hair is like slightly blacker in the flashbacks. So it's mostly him in the Uber. And then it's interspersed with like the comedy show that's happening. So this is him remembering, like in the Uber ride, it's like walk the line or whatever.

Like it's, he's remembering the whole story as he's driving to the comedy show. Yeah. But the whole story is just like, oh, you used to be a car salesman. And he's like the best car salesman in the world uh and then there's one point where his mom dies and it's very clearly filmed in a hotel room because you can see on the back of the door it has like the the exit map and everything oh yes um and then he gets there uh and it's like it takes so long i mean it's the longest movie he gets there and his big joke is just like, it's like a street joke.

It's about the penguin that like blew a seal. Oh yeah. Goes to the ice cream shop. Yeah. And it kills. And there's like a, there's like a comedy review guy writing in his notepad. And he's like, oh man, he's back. You know, that's the end of the movie.

It's insane. So that's my favorite bad movie. So I just looked up his movies. Yes. There's real gangsters is the one I the movie. It's insane. So that's my favorite bad movie. So I just looked up his movies. Yes. There's Real Gangsters is the one I've seen. Okay. I have not seen that one. Oh, it's great.

Yeah, it is great. But what is this? There's The Man Who Drew God. It looks very good. Okay. There's The Big Fat Stone. He plays a homeless guy in that one. Yeah, The Last Porno Show.

No, that looks wrong. He also had like a talk a talk show yeah it's being frank yes but would tell me what the hockey movie did because he's is does he play a hockey player and is he 60 years old in it okay are you ready for this yeah the hockey movie is winding up here we go i believe it's called it might be listed there it's i think it's the last great save okay uh or the last big save one of the two and last big save 2019 essentially and he always by the way he always gets somehow pulls in an actor you've heard of so it's like james conn yeah uh robert loja yeah margot kidder that's like robert loja's last movie i think yeah and then he would he would get them because he paid

cash yes you pay them a lot of money and uh this one uh features daniel baldwin yeah he has i think yeah and then he would he would get them because he paid cash yes you pay them a lot of money and uh this one uh features daniel baldwin yeah he has i think zero lines he might just i think he's literally just in the background at one point and it has a lot of it has like bill waters oh and dominique swain phil esposito's in it briefly i think oh yeah um it's it's very so this is again similar to the comedy thing I think he was Holding some sort of Charity hockey Event Because there are a lot of

Former NHLers Who are playing So The concept of it is that It is game seven of What is supposed to be The Stanley Cup finals Yeah

And the Cincinnati Cheetahs Already out of the gate The Cheetahs The Cincinnati Cheetahs I think they're playing The New York Aces Okay And the Cincinnati Cheetahs I think they're playing the New York Aces okay and the Cincinnati Cheetahs are they don't have a goalie so both their goalies have been I mean if you know sports at all clearly they would just bring someone up from like the they would

have some this wouldn't have happened yes yeah yeah yeah uh but both their goalies are injured and they don't have anyone and what has happened is Frank D'Angelo plays a goalie called Joey Bird. And I think he is supposed to be like 38 years old in the movie. Right. And he is very clearly like 62 years old. And essentially what happened is he signed like the Rick DiPietro contract in his very first season as a rookie. This is a, okay, sure. Which was like a 12 year deal or something.

Or it might've been a 15 year deal in this movie. And it's like the last year of his deal. And he flamed out after one season and started drinking and doing drugs. And so he's just been kind of wasting away for the last dozen or so years. And then, but the owner of the cheetahs has always believed in him. And he's like, we need a goalie. I'm getting Joey bird. It's his,

it's his last chance. And so they bring him in for game seven of the Stanley cup final. And this is a true story. This is basically a true story. Yeah. Um, and it's very clearly filmed at like a community ice rink. Nice.

Uh, but they will cut to like huge crowds and like, like stock footage of crowds and stuff. It's so stuff it's so it's really poorly done um and he's playing goalie and like what they could have done to make it a little better is like have because here's the thing he's playing goalie so you can just have a different guy in that with a mask on yeah who looks like athletic yeah it doesn't look like he's 62 years old but it is so clearly frank d'angelo in that

yeah and they'll they'll do like slow-mo and like dramatic like when he when he goes to make a save or something and it's just him like sort of like falling over and the puck hits him and then so the other thing is taking forever to get back yeah it's it's crazy and then the other thing is the majority of the movie like sports movies i sports movies, but the pacing has to be good, right? Yeah. So I would say typically in a good movie, whether it's a hockey movie or not,

but let's say it is a good hockey movie. They're not showing a guy icing the puck. And then the whole team skating back down the ice to take the face off. And then he ices the puck again in this movie because they needed to fill a lot of time. And like I said, I'm 90% sure they needed to fill a lot of time yeah and like i said i'm 90 sure they were just filming a charity tournament it's just like it's the entire game oh wow of these like a lot of x and so alexi yashin is on his team uh zen and kanopka there's

a there's a cut and a lot of like old enforcers and stuff uh ben harper i think um oh and the innocent criminal yeah yeah and alexi yashin is on Frank's team and gets a hat trick in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. So even if you think Frank saved the day, I think it's the guy who got the hat trick. Because he won by one goal anyway. What I love about these movies is, I mean, first of all, it's sort of like that podcasting thing of like, oh, can't we hang out without it being a podcast? It's like, can't I hang out with Frank without, oh God, we were at this hockey tournament

and it's a movie. He uses like really expensive like cameras and everything, because he puts all his, well, all the billionaire's money into it, I guess, right? He also shoots them very, very quickly. Yes.

Like he can shoot and edit and have it out on the- Oh yeah. He does all the music. He writes them. He directs them. The other thing I love, very very quickly yes like he he can shoot and edit and have it out on the oh yeah he does all the music he writes them he directs them the other thing I love oh I think I bought a CD when I bought his

he did his movie yeah I think he gave it to me for Christmas oh shit um and then

the other thing I love is like so there's so many movies now that are based on a comic book based on a book this guy's never read a book no

yeah so you don't have to worry about that he's seen Goodfellas yes I would love to see his superhero movie what type of superhero would frank d'angelo that would be incredible yeah because so sicilian vampire but also at the end of the hockey one yeah they win and it's very clear uh the trophy says like charity tournament on it yeah it's very visible. Um, really, I mean, this movie has to be seen to believe like it's so bad. Yeah.

It's just a really, the pacing is, it's so slow. It's not like a, it is so bad. It's good, but it is genuinely difficult to watch. If he made enough movies,

it would be like the chimpanzees on the type. Yes. Like eventually he would make a masterpiece. Oh, he's working on it. He's getting there. He makes just the choices. He makes a Sicilian vampire. He make a masterpiece. Oh, he's working on it. He's getting there. He makes, just the choices he makes.

The Sicilian vampire, he plays, God, I think his character's name is Angelo Traficante. I know it's, I know it's Sonny Traficante. Did he just pick the word traffic and make it Italian? I think so, yeah. Why? He loves, he loves mob movies. Yeah. Because he'll get like, like Paul Sorvino is in a bunch of them as well

James Caan is in this one He's in more than one isn't he? He is I think but he's in Sicilian Vampire Literally everyone in this guy's life Is dead He plays like a So the concept of that movie is that He's like a Frank is like a mob boss

Who gets bitten by a bat and turns into a vampire Yeah Which is wonderful And it's also worth saying that in every movie that he's like a frank is like a mob boss who gets bitten by a bat and turns into a vampire yeah which is wonderful and it's also worth saying that in every movie frank d'angelo has the exact same haircut yes basically plays the same character he's got the earring as well yeah like he doesn't uh even harrison ford takes out the earring yeah no they have to digitally take it get off my plane just give me a second but james conn plays uh i'm a medical doctor and also he has like a phd in like mythology nice and so there's a scene where frank goes to talk to him in like a hospital that was the mythology wing yeah well the frank that

frank's character has like paid for i think or something he's paid for the whole building i think is okay is the idea and this to me is like the ideal like this is a bat wing if you wanted to that's pretty good if you wanted to explain a frank movie to anyone this is your own first name basis of course yeah actually he blocked me on twitter um and he did and he has a lot of like burner accounts as well and they've all got me blocked but um essentially so in like a normal movie you would have maybe frank like going to like the he's in the lobby of the hospital he meets james conn and then it cuts to them in like the office talking but in frank's movie they show him walking to the elevator they show them in the elevator which is like a freight elevator and it's so loud and you can't hear what they're saying at all and they in fact comment on how loud the elevator is

because i don't think there was like a script for this part yeah and this is the first time they were doing it they're like jesus this is loud and then it shows them walking down the hallway again to the office and it's just like the decisions that go in it's pick any frank movie and just watch it it's a great time but in terms of like so bad it's good like i think for me i would go the hockey movie first yeah then the comedy one then sicilian vampire those are the big three those are yeah yeah good good choices okay yeah sure we'll have a little film fest yeah oh my god i would love it um and that would be like three movies that's like you know two hours uh dave what's going on with you man oh

guys it's summer uh you know we're deep in the it's all tomorrow's august and uh we're deep in it um i had my first uh trip to the beach oh yeah okay oh you guys try this place uh yeah you know it's good you get sand in your shoes. You're more of a park guy than a beach guy. I agree. I've always been that way, but I have kids. Okay. And it's been like they're now at the age, there was a time when I had to carry them plus everything.

Right. Over like the hot sand. Yeah. I mean, you know, with my wife or but like there's always so much carrying and now. You look like a picture on the front of a 1980s.

I look like the cover of Summer Rental. That's the exact right one. I've got a bucket hat, a Chicago Blackhawks jersey. I'm carrying a cooler. But now they're at the age where I don't have to carry them. And they can even carry things. Nice.

Okay. And so the white man's burden has been lifted. But we went there and it was just, oh, God, it ate up the day. You feel all nasty afterwards Yeah but I like that Dave likes it I am nasty You know it's a little bit like

Going to the captain's boil There's a lot of like crab legs on the ground It's true actually yeah it's hot It's hot it's greasy You end up feeling gross after But the uh Boy I don't think I've ever enjoyed anything more. Anything more. I think this might be my favorite place to get fries.

Oh, beach fries are really good. Yeah, beach fries. Is this Spanish banks? Yeah, at the concession stand. You can douse them with vinegar. Yeah. You can dip them. You've got to eat them fast because the birds are closing in yeah yeah yeah you eat back on the beach or do you go to the little like picnic kind of oh back on the beach it was uh the the problem was i went it was it was me and the two kids so it was like uh a lot of just like can you still see our stuff from

here right let's let's get back to the beach here because I'm worried about our stuff. Don't go too far into the water because our stuff. I actually, before the moment we got there, I was like, I'm not putting any of our stuff down.

I'm carrying everything we have to the water. Nice. Yeah. Did you get a burger as well or just? No, we did, timed it perfectly. It was like,

go right after lunch. Yeah. And then, uh, you don't have to get a burger. Oh yeah. Yeah. I like beach hot dogs were always big when I was a kid. That was like, went to a man-made Lake in Calgary, Lake Sakomi, uh, which I don't think is there anymore. And they're hot dogs.

Oh, I'm probably gonna make some hot dogs after this. All right. It's like a late lunch. That sounds pretty good. I bought, there was a buy one, get one free, like pack of hot dogs. Oh. I'm probably going to make some hot dogs after this, actually. All right. It's like a late lunch. That sounds pretty good. I bought, there was a buy one, get one free, like, pack of hot dogs. What do you do? Do you boil? Do you?

Wait, so how many do you end up with? Oh, like 20. It was a lot. I think it was, yeah, maybe 32. 32 hot dogs. And so when you say, I think I'm going to have that for lunch, what you're saying is, I think I'm going to have that for every meal. Yeah. saying is I think I'm going to have that for every meal. Yeah.

I mean, I'm going three at a time for them to see if that. Were you inspired so much by Joey Chestnut? Yeah. I was going to say. A little bit. I mean, also I just feel it's like it's summer, you know, and it's very easy. I've been air frying them. Okay.

Which is nice. I do. I was also like, I boiled the hot dog as well. Cause that's very easy too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You ever boil them in beer? No. That is nice. I do. I was also like, I boiled the hot dog as well because that's very easy too. Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever boil them in beer? No.

That's interesting. Yeah. I've tried it. I heard it was good. I tried it. I didn't notice any difference. Okay. Except then I had to drink this piping hot beer afterwards.

Hot dog flavored beer. What, so you have an air fryer. Yes. Are you, do you air fry everything? I don't know. We've, we've moved away from it a little bit because every, it's kind of similar to like the Instant Pot where everything will sort of taste like samey, you know, a little bit. It depends on the spices and stuff you're putting on.

But like, you know, with the Instant Pot, it was great because you could make like a pulled pork thing in like 20 minutes or something. Right. But it's not as good as making it like the proper way. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Here are my two big instant pot things. Yeah. And they both came up, come out tasting the same, uh, ribs. Okay. And artichokes. Wow. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. You just put some artichokes in there. Yeah. You put them in there. They take, uh, instead of steaming them for an hour, you're steaming them for like 18 minutes. Okay. What was the thing that you broke somehow by making something? That was a rice cooker that I tried to make a big pancake in.

Is that possible to do? There was a BuzzFeed article about how to do it. Yeah. But I had the wrong kind of rice cooker, and it just turned off too soon. And I was like, well, what if i just like keep something keep something on the switch so it can't turn itself off yeah so then what happened it broke got too hot yeah pancake was not very good either i don't think i ever finished making the pancake is it like easier to make it in the rice cooker or is

it like no is it cut Does it come out fluffier maybe Is that the idea Yeah the pictures were like Oh you can make a thick Big thick fluffy one I do like Like the Japanese style Like the very thick

Fluffy pancake I like the picture of it I've never tried it though I mean I haven't made it myself Yeah exactly Have you eaten it Yes Okay

Very good Where There's a place on Broadway That does it And there's another place on Kingsway And I forget the names They're kind of cute names I feel like Right Cusie pancake there's a place on broadway that does it and there's another place on king's way and i forget the names they're kind of cute names i feel like right cutesy pancake yeah because it's like it's

tall it's a tall pancake yeah and it's like round and it's it's not like a wide flat pancake and it's very spongy it's way more of a dessert pancake. Right. I'd say. Yeah. I think of pancakes as a really, like a, I guess they're already a dessert thing. Yeah. Yeah. They've really bamboozled us by putting a lot of these things in the morning. Yeah. Like a chocolate croissant or a pancake. This is dessert.

You can do savory waffles and savory crepes. You don't hear about savory pancakes as much. Because those are the big three, like. No, but they will give you pancakes at, like, at like with your like sausage and eggs at Denny's. And you kind of mix it all. You can mash it all. I, with a waitress brings it,

I say, take it back and put it in the blender. Or you can make like a little like pancake sandwich, you'd pancake and then all this stuff and then put another pancake on top. Oh, that's true. A McGriddle. Yeah.

Yeah. I guess it is a McGriddle. I love them. I've never had a McGrid top. Oh, that's true. A McGriddle. Yeah. Yeah, a McGriddle. I guess it is a McGriddle. I love them. I've never had a McGriddle. Oh, me neither. They're perfect. The perfect food. How do you feel after, post-McGriddle?

Oh boy, I feel like, yeah, I have post-McGriddle clarity. Because I like just the regular breakfast sandwich from McDonald's. I like it right before I eat it. And I like it while I'm eating it for a little bit. And then there's a moment about halfway through where the regret starts to kick in yeah and afterwards it's never i don't i'm uh pretty uh uh i have a pretty iron stomach the only the only food that i really regret immediately is usually fried chicken oh yeah yeah i regret a lot of food since i'm eating them to be honest doesn't stop me from doing it over and over again oh yeah i was having eating ice cream last night

and i was like i shouldn't be eating this ice cream and then afterwards i was like i could use more but then it struck me as like i didn't even enjoy it yeah it was like if i want more that should have satisfied me yeah yeah i think i feel like it was Lucy Kay had a joke like, you're not full. You're not done when you're full. You're done when you hate yourself. Which is, I feel like. Yeah. Because you always go back for one more.

He could probably stand to hate himself a bit more. I will do that with cheese where every few months I will just eat. I'll make my own sort of little charcuterie plate for like myself. Yeah. And I'll eat way too much cheese. Yeah. And just feel like

absolute garbage for like an entire day. Yeah. And then a few months later I'll be like, I should try that again but a little bit less and sort of see

what the tipping point is. Yeah, what's the line is. I bought a 32 pack of charcuterie plates. It was buy one, get one free. Do you ever have that where you're like well i'm already i'm already down i might as well go and like yeah another thing that's disgusting and i don't like having not like having not enough leftovers so i'm like i just eat this now i'll eat this now because i don't want to wrap up two pieces of salami. Yeah.

But then you're like, oh, it was. Well, first I do a little photo shoot. Because it was my nipples. I ordered a Detroit style pizza a couple months back. And? This was you the other day when I was on your podcast. Oh, yeah, that's right. You explained what this was.

Yeah, it's wonderful. It's really good. It's like cafeteria style tray pizza. Yeah, because it's got like where the cheese is like the crust sort of, right? But it's like a rectangle. Yes, it's wonderful. It's very, very good.

I got it from, I think AJ's Brooklyn, the one over on, I think it's on Broadway. Very good. But the first time I got it, I had like three slices. And they're huge slices. And I felt so bad for so long afterwards. So I'll catch myself like thinking about ordering it.

And I haven't, I've only ordered it I think once since then. And I just ate it over the course of like an entire week. Yeah, that's what I think I'm going to do. I think I'm going to order this and just really just. You'll be good after one slice. Totally. And that's, but then I can do, I've done that on the road, especially where I'm like, this is the pizza is what you're going to eat.

Yes. Or you'll maybe get breakfast, but this is for lunch and for late night. And this is what you're eating the whole time. Not too late though. Oh, I'll go late. Really? Yeah. I can't do that.

It's just. I will, I will eat and go right to bed and wow yeah really yeah it's not a good thing i uh so i had i think it was detroit style pizza it was it was but it was in new york it was a new york style pizza it was this place called prince street pizza okay that had we people had recommended it to us and there was a line out the door and i had so it already had points against it where i was like you gotta wait you gotta wait for it and everyone's gonna everyone's invested all this time of course they're gonna say it's good yeah that's true and i got mine oh there were some good celebrities on the wall um and then i got mine and it was

it was just disappointing i didn't really like the sauce yeah yeah and i was like oh but everyone says it's so good and i went on their yelp page and they uh i and i just sorted it by one star reviews and i looked up all the one star reviews and the guy who owned the restaurant would reply to all of them and call people like slurs and call them like he would swear at people yeah i uh i've done that a few times where it's like i've made slurs against people yeah sure you know as we all have yeah sure after a night of eating destroyed

um trying a thing that's that's a popular thing as opposed to maybe it being delicious or whatever and nine times out of ten you're like it's fine not worth a big lineup no but it never is i stood in a lineup in toronto and you see this all over toronto maybe not anymore but people in long lineups to get frozen yogurt okay which was kind of like a weird how good is the frozen yogurt it's fine what is what is one thing you've waited in line for that has been worth it i was i was in taiwan a couple months ago and there was a huge line for like a breakfast thing and it was like these breakfast dumplings uh like savory like pork dumplings and they were so good but that also may have been because we had like just gotten there like basically fresh off the plane and then done

the big lineup and i was so hungry as well yeah but they were incredible they were really good it was a huge line at like 6 30 in the morning i was thinking more like for me the only thing that comes to mind is like a roller coaster oh yeah yeah okay i think the one roller coaster guy sorry no no major coaster dude okay no i'm not really but like i like i'll go once a year okay and it's worth it it's worth the line the wooden coaster well do the wooden coaster we did disneyland last year. Okay. Yeah. I went to the soup place that the soup Nazi was based on. Oh. And it was amazing.

Easily the best soup I've ever had in my life. Nothing's come even close. Was there a line? Yeah. Yeah. Huge line down the street. What kind of soup? Mushroom.

Wild mushroom. Ooh. That sounds nice. Yeah. And they give you the soup, and then they also give you fruit and crackers and bread and just thrown in the bag altogether. It was stupendous. Like it was.

Yeah. And I think it's still there. It's called like international soup kitchen. And it's, uh, yeah, in my head I was like, there's no way it's going to be as good as it was in the TV show.

It was. Hmm. Yeah. Great. Anyway. So I, uh, enjoyed those,

uh, beach fries. What's going on with you, Graham? Um, I went and saw, uh, uh,

the movie, uh, Fast and the Furious X, I guess, or 10 or however you would say it. Um, and this is the thing is that I haven't seen, I think maybe I've seen the first two.

Oh, wow. That's a big jump. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a very different franchise. Very different franchise.

I think maybe i saw a bit of the one with the submarine in it but is that the ninth one or the eighth one eighth one yeah and i've seen online where they go to space right um yeah i haven't seen any of the new ones i just know how insane they are they've gotten insane and the thing is this is supposed to be the end of the road or this is supposed to be the last one and the whole movie because i don't know uh it's about family it's about family yeah absolutely in the first scene yeah the manson family the first scene there's uh a car they're like pulling a safe along the highway they've like busted a safe out connected it to cars and they do that in another one of well that's the

thing is it's a callback to it so i was was like, why isn't that guy, Paul Walker, he's passed away. So I was like, why is he in this movie? Oh, they did like AI, like... Or they used old footage from it to like... Yeah, I believe I heard that he has not died in the movies. But he's just a minor character now. Well, he just drives away. Yeah, yeah, they've just completely... There's the famous shot of him, like they're on the highway. And they kind of look at each other in the car. And then they're always on the highway, Stefan.

Sometimes they're in the Arctic with a submarine. But the one thing that if you watch a movie like a series like that, you take for granted all the like cameos that happen in the last one so a lot of the movie was you know somebody taking off a helmet and it being like this person and me going like i don't know what i have no idea what why is this person significant i have no idea um so that was throughout the movie i guess they were introducing the whole saga's i but i find i'm not even good at recognizing someone from who's within the same movie like yeah if someone shows up in the first act of like a james bond movie and then they're back later like are we supposed to know who that is uh yeah he killed the guy at

the very beginning okay but you get the context of it i guess you can tell that it's supposed to be like a big reveal yeah like i know that it's i know that it's supposed to be something and uh except for jason statham the rest of them i was like i'm not sure i don't even know sometimes who the actor is right there's like oscar winners in it helen mirren's in it and charlie's throne charlie's thrones in it and uh there's somebody else that you're like tyrese tyrese is a few oscars your stathrese is in it. Tyrese won a few Oscars. Statham is in it. The Rock is not in the first one. This is the thing with the movie.

Watch this movie. It's fun. It's a lot of fun. I see why they make so many of these movies. They're fun and everybody knows it's silly. Nobody's taking it too seriously. Except the actors. Yes, the actors they think this is very serious but so they're ramping up ramping up ramping up all the action everything's

happening everything's coming to a climax and then you're like how long is this going to take to resolve they've ramped this up so much and so many different storylines yeah it just ends it just ends it's going to be two movies this i i did not okay yeah this is part one this is part one that's so funny to do the 10th movie and i guess this is kind of what mission impossible is doing as well yeah but to just and i i guess other movies have big franchises do this it's just so strange to me why not you don't have to call it a part one part two it's weird to all of a sudden start doing a part one part part two thing. 10 movies into the franchise. Yeah, exactly. The new Spider-Man cartoon movie.

Oh, it ends on a cliffhanger. Ends on a cliffhanger. And I was the same. I was like, well, you know, they're multiversing it. So it could end at any point. Maybe. Yeah. Look, hey, it's all a dream. Sure.

I'll take it. But it was, I was not, I didn't know. I didn't know that I was seeing part one of something. I like i was really hoodwinked and now you have to see part i have to see yeah did the rock show up in the post credits okay yeah there's uh and it was another one of those things where it's like the cameras you know pushes in and then you're like i know it's the rock there's only one guy that gigantic oh it's like the back of his head or something and then yeah they're like oh it's the rock the one character that gigantic oh it's like the back of his head or something and then yeah they're like oh it's the rock the one character that hasn't made an appearance right so far yeah

um also i don't believe them that they say this is the last one there's no there'll be a 11th and 12th for sure yeah well same with i mean i'm very excited for the new mission impossible yeah well that's my favorite action franchise i love those movies i came around to it it didn't i for a long time i was like I can't watch Tom Cruise without thinking, hey, there's Tom Cruise. I know. You know? But now I'm like, that's what I want.

But this is now what Tom Cruise is. Yeah. He's a guy who jumps on. My parents are the same way. They, or my mom especially, hated Tom Cruise. And then I took her to see Mission Impossible Fallout. Yeah. Which was the last one.

And she's like, that was really good. I think, she doesn't like Tom Cruise now, but she's like, she likes him in these roles. Yeah. Which was the last one. And she's like, that was really good. I think she doesn't like Tom Cruise now, but she's like, she likes him in these roles. Yeah. What's the big stunt he does in that one? I can't remember. In that one,

there's the, I mean, he pilots the helicopter. Right. And I think they filmed in like, I mean, people do that every day though. It's not really a stunt.

But they, they filmed it somewhere in Eastern Europe where it was much easier for him to get like licensing for it. I think. Sure. Steven Seagal was on the ground being like, hey, what are you doing? Get out of my shot. And then they jumped from like 35,000 feet up or something.

That's so high. Oh, is this where he's wearing the oxygen? Yeah. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That was cool. Very crazy.

There's the bathroom fight scene, which is very good in that. And then this one. No, you're thinking of Austin Powers. There's a bathroom fight scene. There is, yeah. The big thing in the new one is he jumps off the cliff. Yeah, we've all seen the stunt package. Yeah, and he, I didn't realize it,

I was listening to a podcast that during the Top Gun sequel, like he was flying the planes in it. Like a lot of the him in the cockpit shots were him actually flying a plane. Yeah. And he made it. That movie was great. That movie was great.

And again, it was despite myself was like, I don't give a shit about Duck. And I was like, wow. By the end of it, you really do. Yeah.

And apparently he got all the actors had to learn how to fly. They were filming themselves up there. Yeah. Cause there was no like cameraman up there or anything. So it's like, Tom keeps doing stuff like that. I'm going to keep watching it. It's very much in the Armageddon thing of like, why don't we train these oil drillers to be astronauts? Instead of getting the pilots to act.

Instead of getting astronauts to learn how to drill. Yeah. And now it's like, why don't we just get pilots to act instead of getting Miles Teller to film himself yeah oh man yeah no I've really

really oh the movie that got me like on board with Tom Cruise was the one Edge of Tomorrow oh Edge of Tomorrow great

so good and he's funny in it yeah yeah which is like oh yeah I forgot well that one's great because if you hate Tom Cruise he's just like dying the entire movie.

Yes. That's the concept of the movie is he's repeatedly dying. Yeah. So even if you hate him, you have that and then you grow to like like him throughout the movie. Yeah. So. Yeah. No, I'm going to see the next Mission Impossible. Yeah. When's the one I got on board with him? Hmm. All the right moves. When he slides in

with those socks in Bad Vacation or whatever it's called. Bad Vacation? What is the one? Yeah, the one where Cameron Diaz is mad at him and drives off the cliff. Is that Night and Day? Vanilla Sky. Oh, Vanilla Sky.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. There was a time where he was like i'm going to be a serious actor and now he knows like i'll never win an oscar yeah i'm the stunt guy i'm a stunt guy well because they come up the for the movies themselves the new mission impossible is because it's with christopher mccorry right he's directed the last two and this one and this is a part one so he's done part two as well right Is this supposed to be the end of the series? I mean. Come on. How much longer can you jump off of things?

Well, he's like 60 now, I think, too. And he's starting to look puffy. You think? If you see, there was a picture of him in like a Yankees game or something.

He looked like Norm Macdonald. I was literally about to make that exact comparison. Yeah. So we'll see how long that lasts. But they come up with the stunts first. Of course. And then base the movie,

the story around the stunts, which is great. That's such a good way of doing it. Do you think there's a clause that if he dies, they still release the movie? Oh, there has to be. Right.

I've been thinking about that for a while. Like he's going to die doing a stunt. He will, yes. He will die doing a stunt. Yeah. Who else is going to die doing this? I would have said Jackie Chan, but he doesn't do stunts anymore. I feel like he's he will die doing a stunt. Yeah. Who else is going to die doing this? I would have said Jackie Chan, but he

doesn't do stunts anymore. I feel like he's slowed down on the stunts. Yeah. Watching his old stuff is great.

Like Police Story, Police Story 2. Yeah. The stuff he's doing that is absolutely insane. And nobody's taken up that, you know,

baton. Tom Cruise is like doing crazy stuff, but like. Yeah. Yeah. And he like, he does put the bloopers in at the end, which I wish Tom Cruise would do as well. Yeah.

Jackie Chan was in one of the like Cannonball Run or Smokey and the Bandit. Yeah. The small part. And that's where he got the idea to put bloopers in at the end. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wow. That's great.

I mean, the Rush Hour 2 blooper reel is like one of the best blooper reels of all time. Yeah. Rumble in the Bronx was great because doesn't he break his foot halfway through and it has to wear like a shoe looking cast? Yeah. Yeah. The Police Story one is crazy where at the end of it, he slides down the pole with all the lights on it. Oh, yeah. And like electrocutes himself and severely burns himself like tom cruise is doing crazy stuff but it's it's all like

it's like safe enough right like there is some to an extent there's like some safeguards on it yeah it's still insane and if you like yeah because yeah don't they have to like shut down production for six months if he breaks his foot oh yeah i mean i think in in fallout there's a scene where he's climbing uh on like the underside of a helicopter as it's in the air right and i don't i mean they've probably maybe there was like a wire or something but like he's legitimately doing that yeah but like the jackie chan stuff is like him jumping off like a 45 foot tall wall. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the stunt.

Yeah. Is there one where he's around the side of a plane? Cause he got his necktie stuck in it or something. He's like, Oh, we got here. That's Tom Cruise. And then there was also jackass.

We got like a dose of people hurting themselves for our entertainment. Yeah. They might die doing it. Yeah. I feel like one, you know, it could just be one small thing, a bolt from

something just fly through one of their heads. Yeah. Well, that almost had the Johnny Knoxville one where he's on the rocket. Like the big cartoon rocket or whatever. Yeah. And I don't think they show it in the movie. I think it might be in Jackass 2.5 or 3.5, whichever one it is. And you see the first

time they try it, uh, it like malfunctions and doesn't launch off, but it's still kind of explodes. And like a huge, I think it is maybe like a huge bolt. Something shoots out of it like six inches from his like chest. Wow. And it would have just like instantly killed him.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he like, I know he has a, I think he still has to wear a colostomy bag oh because the motorcycle falling on but it was like not during any no that was just like i think it was for like a like a bonus like a bonus yeah it was nothing it was nothing just

for the the gag reel yeah and i think it was literally a motor he he tries to do like a backflip on a motorcycle and he's never done it before yeah and then it lands on his penis that was supposed to be the beginning thisflip on a motorcycle and he's never done it before. Yeah. And then it lands on his penis. That was supposed to be the beginning. This man will land a motorcycle on his penis. I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is motorcycle penis. Oh man. Uh,

Tune in to Comfort Creatures every Thursday on Maximum Fun. on overheard overheards the segment on the show called overhears because you know what it's about overhearing things and talking about it here on the program and we always like to start with the guests stefan do you have an overheard i do this happened about a month ago on july 1st You haven't overheard I do This happened About a month ago

On July 1st Wow Were we ever Whatever Canada Day More importantly NHL Free Agency Day And

Now what is that Explain to Graham What that means Yeah what is that That's the day where You can sign NHL Free Agents Okay

You can't Why You can try. Why? You can try. I can't. Contracts end June 30th, and then on July 1st, they can sign them. With a new team. If their contract is over.

Right. Okay. And if they're unrestricted. Oh, I suppose you can sign restricted as well. That's true. Now, as a Canucks fan, I was approaching July 1st with trepidation. Dread, even. I would say dread, yeah.

Well, Canucks notoriously make bad decisions. Yeah, okay. Especially under Jim Benning, their former GM. And they would sign bad players to long, expensive contracts. Okay.

And they had just, this year they've just bought out, well, they didn't sign this guy, but they bought out one of their really bad, long, expensive contracts. Okay. And they had just, this year they've just bought out one, well, they didn't sign this guy, but they, they bought out one of their really bad, long, expensive contracts. Uh, and I was worried because they had cap space and I was like, what are they going to do with it?

And they actually made some smart signings. They signed a couple of defensemen and a forward. And I liked those signings, but I was walking to get some coffee and I see a guy walking past with his girlfriend and he is just talking her ear off about the free agent signings the Canucks have made. And she did not look interested at all. Um, but I will say to his credit, he was right about what he was saying.

He was like, they, they signed these two, they signed Ian Cole and Carson Soucy, not long-term deals. They were smart. And she's just kind of like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. But I thought that was- Maybe he's really good at sex. Maybe that's it. Maybe it's very early in the relationship and he hasn't realized how to talk to her. That could be it as well, yeah.

Or his love language is confusing. Yeah. But that was like a classic. And I know a lot of women who love hockey as well, but she did not seem to be one of those women. Just from the quick glance and over here. Hockey is for everyone. It is. Well.

And not her. Yeah. And also the NHL has been sort of messing that up. Oh, yeah. Sure. Well, yeah. You actually can't take any stance at all anymore. Yeah.

That's right. Dave, do you have a favorite? Well, I, we also signed Teddy Bluger. Who's Latvian. Who's Latvian. I didn't realize he was Latvian. Yeah. Yeah.

Congratulations to Teddy Luder. Bluger Bluger. Let's go. Thank you. Okay. Yeah. Teddy Luger. Yeah.

We love hockey talk. You have a hockey podcast, a Vancouver Connect podcast. I do, called I Hate This Team. I listen and I can commiserate. Real niche though. Maybe not a lot of listeners, but if you're out there, come on, get

on board. If you don't like them, if you're a fan of the Vancouver Connects, but you don't like If you're a fan Of the Vancouver Connects But you don't like them Yeah Which is most fans There's a lot of people

Who Are Optimistic With no reason Year in year out Yeah Who might not get it But

You're not one of those fans I appreciate it Yes Thank you for listening Hey thanks You're welcome I mean Dave do you have one over here Yeah guys No Not really You're not one of those. I appreciate it. Yes. Thank you for listening. Hey, thanks. You're welcome, I mean. Dave, do you have one over here? Yeah, guys.

No, not really. So, the other day, I was thinking about Shelley Duvall. Sure, we all were. I heard someone, you know, she's from The Shining. She was Olive Oil in the Popeye movie. I know all of her work. She had a good run there. And the, I think on a podcast, someone had said that she and Robert Duvall were brother and sister.

Okay. And I don't think, I didn't think they were. And so I was walking the dog, so my hands were full and I wanted to Google it and I took out my phone. So this is an overheard from Siri. So this is still good. Barely. Uh, so I opened up, uh, Google and I, uh, pressed the, the microphone button so I could do the search orally. Uh, and I said, uh, is Shelly Duvall related to robert duvall and then siri just like had the circle

circling for a while and then it just wrote the word football now where do you think siri got football from Duval, I'm thinking. Okay, right. Because that is a football... Well, football and Duval sound close enough. Okay, I thought maybe there was a player or... No, I think it was just like... Football, Duval. Yeah.

That's pretty good. It's also that thing where you press the button and you start talking and then you hear a ding and you're like, oh no, you weren't listening to me. You weren't listening to the first three words out of my mouth. They're not related, by the way. Okay. You think there's a silly function on Siri where they just give silly answers? Yeah, you can ask it to tell a joke and stuff.

Yeah. Nice. There's also, also Robert Duvall had criticized Stanley Kubrick a few months ago. And saying he was like mean to actors, which he was. Yeah. And, and I was like, oh yeah. And he was especially mean to Shelley Duvall in The Shining. Yeah.

And like terrorized her. And I was like, oh, maybe that's why Robert Duvall feels that way. No, he doesn't. They're not related. But you keep tabs on everybody that's got your last name. That's true. Well, you're in the Facebook group. I'm in the Graham Clark Facebook group.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's just all Graham Clarks. And how are they doing? Does anyone post personal achievements or anything? No, but people will check in every once in a while, and somebody will say, like, oh, I just moved or whatever, stuff like that. Right. Yeah, it's kind of like once every couple of months.

Yeah, I do. I check in. I, of course, have the Ukrainian Shumka dancers. I'm keeping tabs on them. Apparently, the pierogi restaurant in Edmonton is doing well. Oh, good. That's good. Now, someone has, one in Ontario, makes a kind of like a meat rub called Shumka dust.

Gross. So, I'm all over that. That does sound like if you had like dandruff. Yeah. Yeah, I got a little Shumka dust gross so i'm all over that does sound like if you had like dandruff yeah yeah i got a little shumka dust there's a little there's a little shumka dust in everything he does um my overheard is uh courtesy of it's it was just slight but i i was the one who clocked and i feel like neither of the people talking had clocked it was one guy said rapid trans transportation and the other person repeated it said rabbit transportation but they didn't correct so one person thinks it's rabbit transportation the other one thinks it's rapid that's what this city needs is a more more rabbit rabbit transportation is it rabbit or rabid? Rabbit.

Okay. Yeah. Well, maybe it was rabid. That could still be fast. When I think about rabies, I think it makes you faster. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of a superpower, really.

It's like how when I was a kid, I thought getting leprosy would be good because you couldn't feel like an injury. Oh, sure. And you also, it was easy to lose weight. Yeah. Leprosy would be to lose weight there was so many i feel like when i was a kid there were so many leprosy jokes yeah yeah i don't hear them as much anymore still yeah they fell off nice nice yes that's your superpower is that. Is what you just did. Now, we also have overheard sent in to us by people all over the map. What would rabbit transportation be?

Cute. Just a little tiny subways. Yeah, a little subways. Scared. A little scared. But then if you pet it, right? Mm-hmm. There'll be your spare.

There's huge shit everywhere too. Yeah. Right? Well. It's not like. Name me a transportation that does that. That's true, yeah.

It's not rickshaws pulled by giant rabbits, is it? Or a bunch of tiny rabbits. A bunch of tiny rabbits, I think. Yeah.

I think, yeah, just anything, you know, like a rabbit cafe, they've got rabbit cafes and cat cafes. I'm sort of picturing like the

cat bus from Totoro, but it's a rabbit. Makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. If you go inside bus from Totoro but it's a rabbit makes sense which Totoro my neighbor yes okay I didn't know we were on a first name basically with Frank D'Angelo and Totoro

now we also have overhead sent in to us by people all over the map if you want to send one in you can send it in to SPY maximumfund.org we're starting with Mark out in Ontario by people all over the map. If you want to send one in, you can send it in to SPY, maximumfund.org. We're starting with Mark out in Ontario. We're on our way

to cottage country. Must be nice. Must be nice. And just saw a patrol car pulling over a pickup truck. As we pass, we look at the truck and there's a life-size

velociraptor strapped under a blanket in the pickup bed. Nice. Nice. It's not one of those inflatable suits. I don't know.

Those are maybe T-Rexes. Those are T-Rexes, I think, yeah. No, this was somebody who knows how to party. A life-size Velociraptor. As far as we know. And they're bringing it to their cottage. Yeah, or leaving the cottage. Yeah.

I don't know. Something's cool about somebody who owns something like that. Yeah. You know? They've probably got a warehouse full of stuff, you know, or like a bunch of stuff out in a barn somewhere. They know themselves very well. Yes.

And they know what they like. Yeah. They know what they like. And they're not afraid to go get it. And. Yeah. Did you guys love Jurassic Park? Yeah.

I watched it a lot as a kid. Yeah. I did. For some reason, it didn't. Really? Do it for me. Wow. I felt like I was just too old to be dinosaur obsessed.

Wow. I was 12. Yeah, it was just a good movie. Yeah. Just enjoy that. I was more trains than dinosaurs as a kid. Yeah. Yeah.

Love trains. Like a rapid train. It explains a lot about me. Yeah. Yeah. But I think I'm still interested in trains. Yeah. Because, you know, I guess people.

What's your favorite train movie? Oh boy. You know, there is that good train movie where with like Chris Pine and Denzel Washington, where they have to like stop the train from, uh, it's like going, the train's going really fast and they have to stop the train. Oh yeah. Train stopper. Speed train. It's one of those ones I think. Yeah.

Um, yeah. Train stopping. It It's one of those ones, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Train stopping. It's the sequel to train spotting. Did you see that Snowpiercer? I like Snowpiercer. That's a big train film. Yeah. I would be a model train guy if I had the space for it, I think.

Oh, really? Yeah. Like Neil Young. I think so. Yeah. Or Rod Stewart is a big model train guy as well. Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. And they both get laid despite, you know what I mean? They probably come over, people come over to their house and say they're a train guy and they're like, no, I'm still going to fuck him. Still going to fuck Rod Stewart. Doesn't put me off the scent. Yeah. Um. Who to?

God, Rod Stewart. You know what I mean? Made a whole generation of people's moms. He's great. Yeah. Made them what? Cream their jeans. Okay. Yeah. Made them what? Cream their jeans. Okay.

Have you seen the clip of him on, there's like a Scottish soccer, like tournament draw on TV. Now, Graham, you can already answer this. Have you seen this clip? Well,

we'll see. Oh, okay. And they're like drawing balls to like decide like what the matchups are going to be in this, in like the Scottish Premier League. Right. For this tournament. And Rod Stewart is there as like the celebrity guest who like draws the matchups are going to be in this, in like the Scottish Premier League. Right. For this tournament. And Rod Stewart is there as like the celebrity guest who like draws the balls and he is the

drunkest I've ever seen anyone. And it's incredible. If you get the chance, you should watch it. Yeah. It's great. Is he like, is he slurring his speech or is he? He's yelling. Nice.

And he's, when he draw, when he picked up the ball, he picks it up very dramatically and will like hold it up to the camera and he does all these movements and he's just having a great time. He's apparently just the nicest guy in the world. Yeah, and he kicks soccer balls into the audience at his shows. Yeah. He just seems like a really funny dude. He had to have his stomach pumped that one time.

Yeah, you'll never believe what was in there. It was like a gerbil or am I thinking of something? No, it's similar. It was like a gerbil or am I thinking of something No it's similar It was a fluid But apparently that was What he describes as a scorned publicist They had to I'm the guy who like mixes up all those urban legends

And thinks that Rod Stewart had to get a rib removed So they could pump his stomach better And get the gerbil out This next one comes from Chris in Santa Cruz. I was sitting at the beach with my family and overheard a group of teenage girls sitting next to us, all speaking over each other at an excited volume. Girl one, oh my God, have you seen the TikTok

where the crab has emotions? Girl two, that's why I won't eat them. Girl three, they scream when you put them in water. Girl four, we should go get some fish later. Do they have emotions? Is that true? I mean, I assume that,

uh, animals have a, a more complex inner life than we are able to apprehend. I think, uh, you know, I think we'll find that out eventually. Like,

oh, these are all as smart as dogs, you know, in their own way. We hear about like the pigs being very smart or like an octopus being, like octopi are so smart they're like an alien creature

to us almost. They have a brain in each tentacle. And then I'll just eat them at Earl's. I know. When they finally do decide to strike,

we'll have it. I think we deserve it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The submersible was the first shot across the bow. You think it was a giant yeah the submersible was the first shot across the bow you think it was a giant octopus okay it imploded because it you know crushed it under the weight of its tentacles yeah um this last one comes from matt right here in vancouver

was on a bus in vancouver a while back and there were two teen girls sitting behind us sharing a pair of earbuds listening to music. I don't know what they were listening to, but one of them excitedly said, oh my god, this is the deer killing song. Every time we listened to the song, we hit a deer. Except this one time we skipped it, then seconds later we drove by a deer standing on the side

of the road. What is the song, I wonder? I don't know. It probably doesn't have anything to do with killing deer no it's probably not from the killing in the name of the sacred deer soundtrack yeah but yeah uh it's funny when people are like oh you know you're you watch sports are you superstitious at all yeah what do you got do you have a thing that you have to wear or a certain drink you have to drink it's tough with the Canucks because nothing works, I think, necessarily.

Right. Yeah. But I would do like a favorite jersey or something. My friends and I growing up in high school, we used to do, my one buddy would have a hockey stick and he would just hold it and like pray with his head up against the hockey stick. Wow. And that did work occasionally.

Yeah. I wonder if there's a name for that, like a phenomena. Like stupidity, think yeah i used to have i had like doing stand-up i would uh if i had a really great show i would try to repeat the like pre-show rituals yeah yeah like i'd be listening to the same song and have the same meal yeah i remember being in the seattle comedy competition and there was more than one person that listened to the uh m&m song before their sets because it like unironically oh completely unironically yeah because that's very good to do ironically i think yeah that's just put this on hey guys let's get in there yeah let's get us in there yeah everyone

but yeah it was like your palms are they sweaty get them there. Let's get us in there. Yeah. Hey everyone. But yeah, it was like. Can I feel your palms? Are they sweaty? Get them there. And I don't want to be, you know, I hope none of you ate spaghetti. Yeah. I, I, yeah, I had rituals, but then eventually you're like, eh, it just doesn't do anything. Yeah.

Nothing does anything. Dave, do we have other in-edition overhears that are written in? We also accept your phone calls. If you want to call us, our phone number is 1-844-779-7631. That's one. Ugh.

Spy pod one, like these people have. Hello, Dave, Graham, and possible guests. This is Marzi, calling in an overseen. Yesterday, I had an appointment at a laser hair removal clinic here in Cleveland, Ohio. And the clinic shares real estate with a medical research facility. So when you enter the building, there's a long hallway.

And the first door on the left is the laser hair removal clinic. And the first door on the left is the laser hair removal clinic and the first door on the right is the medical research facility and next to the door on the right mounted to the wall it's a little white box with a latch and there was a sign on the door not on the door on the box that said in all capital letters this box does not contain any drugs or money only blood and urine samples please leave the box alone in this box does not contain any drugs or money was an all red as was the word blood. Okay, off I go. You get a color printer. You want to color in.

Was urine in yellow? I mean. Missed opportunity. Yeah, who knows? I think they left that to our imagination. And certainly around the corner, Fudge's mate. Yes. Good for them for labeling it.

I feel like I've been in a doctor's office bathroom where there's a little little sliding door and you don't, you assume that stuff's in there but I always take a peek see what's in there, a couple jars of urine do you ever have to put the urine in yourself? no, I do the switch around do the shell game

where it goes, no one knows yeah, it just made me think of switch around to the shell game. Where it goes, no one knows. Yeah, it just made me think of like every time I mail a letter, I put the letter in and then I close the box and I have to look in and make sure it went

all the way in. Yeah. Did my pee go all the way in? I like that they always ask you to like catch it midstream. You're like, I don't know how to. What the hell, man? It just're like i don't know how to what the hell man it just goes

i don't have any control i mean stefan knows all about that he streams like pretty much every week all right next one hello this is robin from guelph and i haven't overheard that i just caught on the train from lond England to Gatwick Airport. There was a businessman on coach and he said on his phone, look, I don't want to make a big deal about this, but I'm going to have to tell you. Oh, sorry. Sorry. We're in a tunnel. We're in a tunnel. Silence. Silence. Silence. He calls him back.

Hi, it's me again. So I need to ask you to step down from your... Sorry. Tunnel again. Silence. Silence. He calls him back. Yeah, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

You're not doing your work properly, and you'm going to have to ask you to leave. You're not doing your work properly and you're going to have to leave the company. Anyways, I don't know if that translated as very funny. No, it did. It was very funny. Jet lagged. No, don't worry. But it was funny at the time.

I know. It's funny now. This time also. Translate. That was good. It's like this. We're going to have to ask you to accept this award. Translate. It's a that was good. It's like this. We're going to know it's bad

except this award. Yeah. I have to ask you to leave it to the professionals. It's weird. They don't have

the tunnel cell phone technology because we have that here on like the Canada line. It's fine, right?

Yeah, it's weird in Toronto. They don't. I feel like it's maybe relatively recent here. Yeah.

And we may be everyone who rides the subway gets giant tumors yeah that's true so well sort of a trade-off yeah but it's you know you always need to be on our phone yeah we get to know when we're fired yeah and your final phone call hey david gra and Graham, this is Curtis from Portland. I am calling in with an overheard. I was at a concert last week, and this guy was on a FaceTime call not too far away, kind of out in the outfield, kind of like blanket area. And at one point, this guy just screams into the FaceTime call,

She's pregnant with your child! Fuck face! And that's all I heard, but I think that's all I needed to hear. Okay, off I go. That's really good. Wow. What's a concert? Oh, man.

Who could it be? What, band they were at? Yeah. I mean, Madonna has Bob Adele preach. Yeah, I was thinking Madonna maybe. Whoever sings Baby Love. Yeah, the Supremes. It might have been Justin Bieber. I'm calling you because he's singing Baby right now.

But you were telling me when I was over on Block Party that you had set a record for speed. I briefly set a record for speed running the Lord of the Rings Gollum game for chapter one. And it was basically right after that episode came. We finished recording. Yeah. It was just destroyed.

So I think I'm like third place on the leaderboard. Okay. That's still pretty impressive. That's really impressive. Yeah. But that is funny that it was undone

that quickly. Yeah. That's how it goes with world. By one of our viewers on the stream. What was your

record? I know not this game and it was like six minutes. Oh, that's good. 40 something seconds, 45 seconds.

Awesome. But the record now is like 625. Oh, that's so much better. Yeah. Embarrassing to even bring up my record. O seconds. Awesome. But the record now is like 625. Ooh, that's so much better. Yeah. It's embarrassing to even bring up my record. Oof. Yeah.
