Yeah. It'll work, you guys. Is that what you were referencing? I think so. I knew it was something of that era. But for some reason I was picturing Insync singing it, but I was picturing the five of them. It's a vibe, it's the same, it's a similar vibe.

I mean, it's very similar. She dated an insect, remember? Yeah. I wanna say Chris Kirkpatrick. With Joey Fatone. Yeah. That voice you hear is our guest on the podcast today. Third time guest on Stop Podcasting Yourself.

Uh-huh. Okay, cool. Well, thank you for being our guest. Thank you for having me. Thank you for having me back. Yeah. It's your first time in person. You were talking before, well, let's get to know us.

Yeah, let's get to know us. Get to know us. Yeah, let's get to know us. Get to know us. Tell us all about it. Well, before the show, you were saying, I was telling Graham before you even got here, before you were a glimmer in our eye. I was like, I thought this was only your second time. Yeah.

And you thought it was only your second time. I thought it was only my second time. And Graham was like, no, no, no, no, you fools. Yeah, you fools. And I don't remember the second time. Well, I, cause I looked them up. Okay. And it said in the first one,

cause I was immediately like, oh, she's the, she's like a perfume savant. Yes. The perfume one was the first time? That was the second time. Oh. That was, and I still remember the website,? That was the second time. Oh. That was, and I still remember the website, Fragrentica.

Fragrentica, yes, yes. And the first one we talked about your, I guess it was a podcast about couples, like fictional couples. Oh, that's right. Yes, that was during the pandemic. I had a podcast called Rated X with my ex, and we rated couples. Yes, that's right. That's right, yes, that was during the pandemic, I had a podcast called Rated X with my ex and we rated couple, yes, that's right.

Right, yes. Okay, it's starting to become more distinct. Yeah, and you are a perfume expert. Last time I saw you was in Toronto and you were wearing one that you said you found at Winners. And then you said like, Winners is the spot for getting a perfume. Yeah, because they do have, because it's just like a clearance utopia.

And so you can get all kinds of like luxury brands for dirt cheap. Yeah. And who cares? Maybe someone opened it a little bit and so what if it looks like squirrels ravaged into the box? Who cares? I got my little, and yeah, I did have that. And you know what I appreciate about you, Graham, is you, every time you see me,

you wanna know what I'm wearing, who I'm wearing. Graham, you can probably tell from the smell. Can you tell even now? This is one that you got at, I should try to guess. Okay, you go first. Mine is Femke Janssen presents. Presents Hot Popsicle. Can you detect any notes or?

Oh, okay, oh, vanilla, vanilla. Vanilla, the stick. Yeah. The stick. You're just doing popsicle notes? Yeah. The stick. Do a little riddle.

Okay, now you name one. Oh, boy. I was going to go legitimate. I was like, this is, forgive Calvin Klein vibes. Oh, wow. Okay. Well. No, no.

From your reaction, that was a joke. That was my joke. Yeah, I reacted too strongly for that to be. Yeah, no, I'm going to go with that was, this is Liam Neeson's. I have a certain set of smells. Yeah, exactly. This is Liam Neeson's. Now, which one are you wearing today? What do you got on today?

Well, this was actually a gift from fellow comedian Rebecca Reeds. Oh, nice. Actually gifted this to me. It's Victor Rolfe called Flower Bomb. Okay. And I was very impressed that Rebecca, she got this for me for my birthday, like a little travel size kit of little scents. And it's very on brand for like, it's very signature Courtney scents, like a little bit

of vanilla, a little bit of like sweet and spicy. Sweet and spicy. I think is what I described my scent as being. Now I, when I, you said Victor and Rolf. Victor Rolf, yeah. It's Victor and Rolf. Oh, it's Victor, oh my gosh. They're buddies, they're perfume pals.

My apologies. But I remember seeing, I'd only, I'd never heard them before, before I saw an ad for a fragrance called Spice Bomb. Spice, is it Victor and Rolf? Yeah, it's Victor and Rolf. Okay, so they must, oh, and it's shaped like a, Spice Bomb is shaped like a spice bomb.

It's shaped like a grenade. So they love bombs. I feel like they love calling their, look up flower bomb and see what that look, cause we will, we will, but I just. What if it also looks like a grenade? I'm also just curious why it stuck with me. I feel like- Because of that muscly man in the end?

No, I feel like there was an ad that was like very like, explosive. I mean, this is exploding right there. Yeah. It's like a spice bomb. So what are we looking up? Flower bomb? Flower bomb.

Okay, looks like the model that was on Oh yeah, that's a pink one. Yes, and I hadn't worn it, but it smells a little bit similar to one of my favorite perfumes called Candy. And I don't know if Rebecca had this in mind, but it seemed very intentional, and that's what I appreciated about it.

Is Candy Ariana Grande or Katy Perry? It's not, it's Prada. Oh, it's just Prada. Yeah, I haven't dabbled much into the celebrity fragrances. When you say winners, I think of like, oh, you can buy ushers. They have a lot of those. But you know what, Britney Spears had good, she had fantasy, she had some good sense back in the day.

Those are the only ones that I remember like seeking out actively. Otherwise it's like celebs, they come out with these things and it's just very alcohol heavy and they're not putting much care into it. So. They're just slapping their name on it. They're just slapping their name on it. This is Jessica Simpson's melon jugs. Melon jugs.

Of them a jug shaped. I mean, melon's a good flavor, smell. Yeah, yeah. That means smell, that means smell. Don't drink the perfume, smell. Yeah. I mean, smell. I mean, don't drink the perfume, Dave. How many, if you had to estimate, how many perfumes do you own? Oh my gosh.

We talking in the three digits or we got two digits? No, not three digits. I think in two digits, yeah. And probably low two digits. Oh really? Yeah, yeah. I think probably more than 11, but not more than 20. Okay, that's a healthy amount.

I wear them, but I don't like sparingly. Right. You know? Yeah, yeah. There's a rotation. Especially if you have a rotation, you're not gonna go through them. Yeah, exactly.

And my mom likes to gift me, cause she knows I like candy, the Prada one. So she's gifted me a lot for my birthday and Christmas. And I'm not even, I probably have four just from gifts for the past three years. Just cause I have a lot. Just of candy. Just of candy, yes.

Very nice. What about candles? What do you like? Are you a candle person? I used to be, but then I think that's how I knew. I was like, you know what? I think I just like the smell and why don't I just smell like it?

We were gonna ask you, what was the defining moment where you said this is what I'm gonna smell for the rest of my life? Yeah, well, I can, cause I can just put the smell on me, I don't have to burn anything. I don't have to be lightening anything. Yeah, but I like to burn stuff.

Yeah, Dave loves a sandalwood. You know, you love a sandalwood, you like a fiddlehead. Yeah, I got a head, what are the other things I like? Crab grass. You know, notes of- You know what I would like to know? Yes. And I can't remember, and forgive me if I did mention this,

during one of my mysterious two episodes that I don't, one of the, which I don't remember. Signature rant. Yes, my signature rant. You were in a fugue state that one time. About the fugue state that I disassociated was, is it dissociate or disassociate? I feel so nervous to use the term.

I think it's disassociate. Disassociate. I disagree, I think it's disassociate. See? Oh, okay, well. See, I don't know what to use. Let's just look up, Victor and Rolf dissociate bomb. Dissociate bomb. Dissociate bomb.

Dissociate. Dissociate versus disassociate. Let's see what the word disassociate is generally preferred and considered more formal, while disassociate is for idiots. That's not what it says! It doesn't say that! It does not say that! It's more common in everyday usage, okay. All right, so we're on team Juno nominees. All I've got are my pathetic Canadian comedy awards.

Cologne versus perfume. Yeah. I find that, well, my voice is cracked. That's fine. I can tell you're very excited. I need to explain that after. OK. I find that unless it's like an old lady perfume that you really,

someone just really doused themselves in it. And you leave an elevator and you can smell it. Oh, someone went heavy on the perfume yeah I find though that more often than not cologne has like this staying power that's way more like invasive always smell and it and whether it's a man walking by me or I could just tell he was just there I'm always smelling a man's cologne so pungently yeah and I'm wondering like do they make it differently in the formula? What is it that's giving it that staying power versus perfume?

It's Bill different. We're Bill different. I think I was watching a movie and like the hunky lead put on perfume and he sprayed it all over his neck. And I was like, well, that's not the way that you're supposed to apply cologne, right? You're supposed to, and he's just supposed to spray it in there and like walk through it. Like misting, misting is nice too. But if you want it to stay, you do have to, like I always know if someone is putting perfume on

and they're doing, what I'm doing is I'm rubbing, you don't do that if you want it to stay. I do, I do a little spot on both my wrists that I rub. If you rub it, it's not gonna, it's not gonna last. Damn it. Can't rub, you just gotta let it soak, you gotta soak in it. Really, like you have to put out a couple thoughts or? You gotta Gatorade yourself with Damn it. Can't rub. You just gotta let it soak. You gotta soak in it. So really, like you have to put out a couple thoughts or?

You gotta Gatorade yourself with the fragrance. It's basically a good lasting spray is an over spray. Okay. Yeah. I know in, here in Vancouver, we've got hundreds and hundreds of Irish people that come over here and boy, if you see a bunch of Irish young lads, you are gonna get a cloud of cologne that's overpowering, absolutely overpowering. Is it the same kind?

What kind of? It probably is. It's Victor and Rolf Clover Balm. Victor and Rolf Clover Balm. It's Shamrock Shake Balm. I've established myself now as the perfume guest. Yeah, we like to have guests who have an area of expertise. Who else do we have that's like?

We had that guy that opened Jurassic Park. He actually wasn't very smart about it. And he wasn't funny either. No, but he took a lot of very deep breaths and like, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Overheard. So you, is this your first time visiting Vancouver? No, I've been here a bunch. Okay.

I've been here a bunch, but it's been, I think I was here, I was here recently-ish. Yeah. Oh, I was passing through when I was on my way to Victoria. Other than that, it's been like a couple of years. Okay. Yeah. Okay, is there like a spot that you liked, that a diner or a restaurant,

anything that you remember like, oh, that was the best? No, because I don't, I feel like whenever I'm here, I'm always the busiest I've ever been, and my itinerary is set for me, and I don't really get a chance to go like offsite from what I'm doing. So I feel like for as often as I visited here, I don't know the city very well.

I love sushi. Like I just like wherever someone wants to take me for sushi, I'll just go. Yeah. I will say I really appreciate your umbrella etiquette that you have here. It's very noticeable compared to Toronto. Oh my gosh. Yeah, today, just today. Like walking, me and some other comics were just downtown walking.

And like in Toronto, two people coming towards each other from opposite sides of the sidewalk, both of them with umbrellas. If you're in Toronto, it's like a standoff and one of you is gonna get spoked in the cornea with the umbrella. What happened to your eye? Oh, it got spoked. Yeah, it got spoked in the cornea.

But here, it's like there's an elegant and very respectful lift of the umbrella. Yes, we do the lift. There's a lift. We, milady we say. Yes. And Will, they're pretty good actually about not walking under the awning with the umbrella.

No, they're not, they're not. They're not. And that's, I really respect it. Well, I've noticed that the last couple of years it's getting better. Okay, that's good. I think it's because there are these Irish people in town and they know how to deal with rain.

Well, you know, Vancouver has obviously acclimated to the environment and so you know how to move around in it, but that's very nice for visitors to see it. You should see us drive in the snow though. Oh boy. And you know, we can hardly handle those hot, hot summers. Yeah. Oh, you know.

And sure, with volcano time, we have a really hard time with as well. I'm already, I gotta say, and it's only end of March, everywhere I've been this weekend, I'm overheating. Yeah, it's okay. I'm too warm all the time. All the time too warm. Did you bring a winter coat? I sure did. Yeah. Yeah. I'm too warm all the time. All the time too. Did you bring a winter coat? I sure did.

Yeah. I sure did. So everything out here is layering. It's all layers. Then I went to Toronto, I was like, oh yeah, layering doesn't work here. You need a coat. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm trying to think of a joke about. Uh-oh. Layering? You have layers, like L-A-I-R, like, oh yeah, like there's a lot of dungeons Oh, it's a layer part of it. Don't what is a layer. It's just sort of your dad's like your yeah your evil Yeah, you know evil. Yeah, nice guys have layers. I

Mean, yeah, not all men have layers Man cave a layer. Yeah, man cave is most certainly my lair. It's my domain. What's in your man cave again? Well my collection of colognes. Oh yeah? What are your top three? I've got a Wigdron Rolf Shrek bomb. I've got a diesel. Diesel, oh nice.

Diesel. I've got Mark Jacobs expired milk. Oh, that's a nice one. Yeah. I've got Mark Jacobs expired milk. Oh, that's a nice one. Yeah. They do that with like diesel, like it has to sound if it's like a man's thing, it's gotta be. Yeah.

Well, yeah, but diesel I'm sure makes a perfume as well. Diesel's a huge conglomerate. Yeah, Vin Diesel probably has one out there. There's a Tom Ford cologne, or I think it's a gender neutral scent, but it's smells of motor oil. I've been seeking it out because I've always, I was like, make gasoline or something like that into a bottle,

but take out the thing that's going to poison me. What are your favorite everyday smells? Is gasoline one of them? I love gasoline, I love liquid paper, I love hand sanitizer, alcohol, like strong, very strong abrasive scents. Yeah, I don't like- You don't wanna be huffing,

but if you put it in a nice little bottle- I know some guys who wanna be huffing gasoline. Yeah, some people wanna be huffing it, but I wanna be doing it safely. Yeah. Just the scent, which is, I know why they, that's why they put it in there. I like spray paint.

Love chlorine. Yeah, chlorine. Oh really, okay, chlorine. What do I actually, like, gasoline is like headache inducing for me. Or like tar. Like hot tar? Yeah, that means my favorite movie. Do you know what? She'll go to your place. She'll go to your place, I love tar. Like hot tar? Yeah, that means my favorite movie.

So good. So good to hear that. I love tar. Oh, you're not lying. But yeah, everyday smells, sure. Barbecue. Yeah, barbecue's good. I like, you know, classic Indian food restaurant,

delicious, spices, love them. But yeah, chlorine is like, just so nostalgic. Oh my God, waffle cone walking by a waffle cone. Oh boy, waffle cone restaurant. I don't like walking past a Cinnabon. Sorry for that hot take, but it's overpowering for me. Okay. I find it to be a little bit too much.

It's aggressive. Can't they water it down a bit with some gasoline? Yeah, you gotta chomp for it a bit aggressive. Can't they water it down a bit with some gasoline? Yeah, you gotta temper it a little bit. And still, this is my disgusting one, Subway. If I'm walking past the Subway and I smell that Subway smell, I'm in. I'm interested. I don't ever get it.

Same with, I'm that way with KFC. I love the smell. And I'm also with Subway, but I do like the smell of Subway. I sometimes will go into Subway and say, can I just touch my neck with one of your sandwiches? Just don't rub it, because then you lose the scent. But yeah, KFC I like the smell of, but would never eat.

No, yeah, KFC, what's your hot take on KFC? I haven't had it in years, but I do agree, I like the scent. I don't know if I would not, I mean, I don't think to eat it, but if someone put it in front of me, I don't think I would say no. Did they put out a, sorry to make this so smell-centric. It really is, but let's see. KFC, I think they put out like a, not a candle.

I think they did like- It was a fire log. It was a log, yeah. No. Something you put in the fireplace, so the whole, your house smells like KFC, so. Oh, that's like a- I mean, you have to have a place to light a fire log. Yeah. Something you put in the fireplace so the whole, your house smells like KFC. Oh, that's like a- I mean, you have to have a place to lay in a fire log, but- Yeah, yeah.

Well, didn't they have those like Yankee candles that were like man-scented or something? And it had like a ripped buff guy on the thing, on the label. There you go, fire log, KFC, fire log. Did you ever watch that Yankee Candle kid on YouTube? Oh, the kid that reviewed Yankee candles? I don't even know if he would review them.

He would just bring home, this is my hall from Yankee Candle, this like 14 year old boy. I wonder where he ended up. It's so cute. I hope he's working at head office. Yeah, I hope he's living his dream. So you're out here, you're nominated for a Juno.

This is the second time, two time nominee. Two times, yes. How, what's the gap of time between first album, second album? Barely a year. No way, really? Yeah, it was very, it was very, the second one was very unexpected.

I recorded the second one at the end of, I think like 2022, released it. No, I released it in, yeah, 2023. This one, 2024. Yeah, it was a very short window of time. And the second one just kind of came together just like, just an inspo thing. I just had some ideas and they just kept growing and then it just became an album really fast. Like I don't think I would, my first one was a compilation of bass. You know how most people's debut albums are

pretty much a compilation of everything that they've just ever written and they just want let's burn it, let's put it all on one record, all my jokes, I can be over them, you know. and this one was different. It was more of a theme and, um, it was like a bit more personal to me. Not, not even it's, it's jokes. It's not like, you know, jazz album, but, uh, awful things in my mind. Oh my gosh. One time.

So my first album is called, it's called Let Me Hold Your Baby, because I'm an arm amputee, and so it's like, and it's got a picture of me holding a baby with no arms and everything. And I did an interview when I was like, like releasing it and promoting it, and this, I forget what radio station, some local radio station was interviewing me, and they were very like gracious and everything, but then, but then at the end of the interview as they were out showing me they're like and this is Courtney Gilmore and you can listen to her new album out now let me hold you baby

I just watched when it's cold at all. One letter. Let me hold you baby. But yeah, so this one is, you know, it's different. And then, but yeah, I came together quite, quite rapidly. That's awesome. Thank you. You're gonna release one 2020. Let's just keep going every year, you know, might as well.

I know it's, George Carlin used to put on a special every year, apparently. I know, I mean, this one has been more of a reverse process in that like when I, as I said, like your first album, old jokes and so once I recorded that I was done with those jokes but this one, because it still feels relatively new to me for how fast I put it together, I've still been having fun using, doing that material live. Yeah. Because I had such a short time before I recorded it and then I've still been having fun doing that material live. Because I had such a short time before I recorded it, and then I was like, these are still fresh to me.

Why not still do it? I'm winding down off that now. But because in some ways, you know. You never know. It's good to have in the back pocket though. How much? Would you say that you can generate ish like 40 minutes an hour a year? Or is this just like an insane year

where it all hit you off? I think it was just an insane, I don't know that I would put myself to that test. Okay. Although if someone told me to, or told me I couldn't do. You know what? You can't do it. You can't, yeah, then I'm like, all right, we'll see.

I really, most of my major decisions are born of spite. I would do it if I'm the opposite. I'd be like, if someone told me to and if I was like, it was Jigsaw and he said you're locked in a room until you come up with 40 minutes of material. You did mostly just crowd work with that little puppet guy. What do you do for a living? Well, I torture people. I've never seen the Saw movies, but I imagine that's what it makes you do for a living? Well, I torture people. I've never seen the Saw movies,

but I imagine that's what it makes you do, right? Like you have to, but then just don't, like just kill me. Yeah. Is that everyone? Are they all just trying to say a lot? Like they just- Everybody's trying to stay alive.

I don't get that Ben at all. I've only seen the first one. Seen the first one, I've seen chunks of the other ones, but the thing is like in the first one, the traps are possible. And then as it goes along, the traps have to go crazier and crazier. Isn't like one of them like,

the key is in your stomach and you have to like cut it out of yourself? There was a key in a girl's boyfriend's stomach and she had to root around in his guts to find the key. Because if she didn't, she had a root around in his guts to get to find the key. Because if she didn't, she had a bear trap on her head. Oh. Yeah.

A girl's boyfriend. Have you ever? So you're telling me she's single? Like, are they still together? Was he alive still? Yeah. Really? Yeah, and he was like, don't do this. And she was like, well.

I wonder why, did he get bear-trimmed? Yeah. Have you ever done escape rooms? Yes. You have? Yeah, you? Okay. I have and not just the key thing reminded me of,

not nobody, I didn't have to root around in anyone's guts or anything like that, but we did it for a bridal bachelorette party. It was an escape room, it was part of the itinerary. It was so funny because I kind of like, as I mentioned, I am an amputee, so I'm missing hands. Some of the challenges were like,

I had to just go along. Hold this baby. No, but one of them was like, you're in a room and they handcuff you to this pipe. Or do they? And then they put, and to get out of the room, the key is on the other side of the room. You're handcuffed in the middle and you have to get the key somehow. So it's, you know, you order yourself and that, but for me, it's like, we all know I

can get out of these cuffs pretty easily, but because it's the game and I don't want to ruin it for anyone, I'm gonna be like, oh, help, I can't get out of the cuffs. So I just like stayed in the cuffs knowing full well I could have cheated and gotten the key for us. Team player. Yeah, exactly. I didn't want to get it the cheap way.

So I just loosely hung my nubs from the cuff, from the loose cuffs and just allowed us to suffer for so long to get them. Well, you know what? If you're going the high road, just keep going the high road the whole time. You guys solve it. I'll be here locked up. Yeah, because it wouldn't be fulfilling if I just, you know.

That's a good bachelorette party thing. I think so. I mean, a better thing is to get really drunk at a comedy club. Oh, it's the boss. Ruin a show. Ruin a show, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. The one escape room that I did,

the guy that was introducing it to us made it very clear. He's like, the thing is not behind any of the paintings on the wall. If you feel any resistance, it is not in that area. Soon as that guy got up, he's lying. Let's read one refund these things. Have you ever, like, have you ever had to do a team building exercise?

Have you ever been like with a company or something where you had to do something like that? No, but I've had to be the entertainment for companies that are doing team building exercises. And one of the, one of their breaks in between exercises is stand-up comedy at 10 a.m. at some kind of hotel conference room with the daylight streaming into our eyeballs. And that's very popular though, like corporate comedy in that setting where it's like this is our day of team-building exercises and then the break is comedy.

Right. I can't remember any of the, I've had to do that, but I don't remember any of them. I feel like, you know, I can imagine, I'm like, build a bridge out of popsicles things, but I don't think I've had to do that. Yeah. I think the only one I can remember is I worked at a book company and the guy that owned the company played a tuba and we had to go watch his band play. Oh my gosh.

Was that an escape room? Yeah. Do not try throwing anything at my tuba, that is not the way. Yeah. So is a team building exercise different than icebreaker games? That's a good question. I think you have to like than icebreaker games? That's a good question.

I think you have to like, icebreaker games are like when you just met your team and team building is when you're like, hey, the ice is broken, let's build this team. Time to get building. Yeah. I always feel very bad for people in those conferences and in like company Christmas parties or whatever.

They have to be there. So they're like, they're not against their will, but kind of, right? So then they're not the hottest crowd, people that just like don't wanna be there. I know, and then, I mean, sometimes companies will, if they have a nice, like a decent budget, they're gonna like do their company party or event

with Comedy Incorporated offsite in an appropriate setting where it makes sense. But if they don't, like so many of the corporates I do are in the office on their lunch break. And it's like, I'm gonna make you uncomfortable for 40 minutes and then you're gonna go back to work. And it's just gonna be such a weird day for you. And I feel bad, but that's not my problem.

Yeah. Yeah. The ones off-site are pretty weird too, because they're like all at a hotel, they're drinking together, they're, you know, maybe my work wife, my real wife doesn't know who my work wife. Doesn't know about.

I love, but that's, I love the, and that's the thing too, is because as a comedian, I feel very curious and like intrigued. I wanna know the hot gossip of the office. I wanna know who's, I wanna know who's, you know, all this stuff. Here Graham is my work wife. Yes, that's right.

And don't forget we have an appointment later. Oh yeah, ring sizing. Ring sizing. The one time I did a corporate, I've done a bunch of corporates, but one time we did it for Home Depot and it was held in the Home Depot. And I was like, this is torture for you guys.

You're just, you're back. Was it here? It was in, yeah, it was out like Quitlum or something. Did they have a Harveys in the restaurant? No, they didn't have a Harveys in the restaurant. Harveys? That was my first question. Why would they have a Harveys?

Vancouver, so the, Vancouver doesn't have Harve's in the restaurant. Oh, I think it was my first question. Why would they have a Harvey's? Vancouver doesn't have Harvey's, but for years. No way. We have one on Granville Street. There was one on Granville Street for a few years. There was one inside a Home Depot for years. And then there was one in the airport for a few years. Home Depot is an interesting choice of a Harvey's.

Was it a subway at one point as well? I don't know. I just know the Harvey's years. And then I drifted away. Harvey's and Home Depot. Yeah. Harvey's has, I don't know how I feel. I don't feel really one way or another about Harvey's.

I don't go there often enough to have a... Well, we're in a trade war with America right now. So we actually love Harvey's. Yeah, we have to. Well, Harvey's is Canadian, yes. Elbows up, we gotta have our Harvey's. Yeah, that's what we've been saying. That's the new slogan is we gotta have our Harvey's. Yeah, we have done that. Yeah, Elbow's Up, we gotta have our Harvey's. Yeah, that's what we've been saying. That's the new slogan is we gotta have our Harvey's.

We gotta have our, they have, okay, well then this is a plug for them though. They do have an incredible chocolate milkshake. They do, right? It's very rich. It's very nice. And for the longest time, they were the top billing for a veggie burger. Yes, that's true.

And that was my, our family was a Harvey's family. Oh, okay. Growing up. Yeah, that was a go-to. So it's a Sunday dinner or a Sunday lunch? Like Sunday lunch, something like an after, yeah, a weekend afternoon, a Harvey's burger. What, where did you grow up? Kitchener Waterloo.

Kitchener Waterloo. Both of them, each of them for probably the same amount of years. Is there a name for that area or is it just Kitchener-Waterloo? K-Dubs, KW. And those are- Tri-City, it's Kitchener-Waterloo-Campbridge is the Tri-City area. And they're always, are they rivals, Kitchener-Waterloo?

Are they like sisters? I'm gonna ruffle some feathers with this if there are any of them listening because I am a hometown girl but I do feel a bit disconnected because it's been, I didn't ruffle some feathers with this if there are any of them listening because I am a hometown girl But I do feel a bit disconnected because it's been I have I didn't live there as an adult I moved when I was 18, but I still all my family is still there and I visit often enough But I sense a rivalry where I feel like they deny it Because it feels like the divide well, they are two different cities, but they're also merged by like one long street like, you know

Young Street everybody says Kitchener Waterloo But they are very they are very distinctive and they want to I from what I Experienced they want to be they want to remain Distinctive but it's like and I get that but it's also like okay but Kitchener Waterloo like if I meet if I'm Out on the road like across the country and someone says I'm from Kitchener and Iloo, like if I meet, if I'm out on the road, like across the country and someone says, I'm from Kitchener and I go, and I say, oh, me too. And then I wouldn't correct myself and be like, actually Waterloo, like Kitchener, Waterloo, it's the, you know.

Do they have like, is, would a radio station be in Kitchener and like, Talk about just Kitchener's message. Or would you not be able to pick it up in Waterloo or is it all? No, it's both. I'm pretty sure most of them, if not all are like local to both. and like talk about just kitchen or would it, would you not be able to pick it up in Waterloo or is it all? No, it's both. I'm pretty sure most of them, if not all are like local to both. Is there anyone just play Waterloo by Abba?

Just 24 seven Waterloo station. What's the song for Kitchener? Come on, somebody's in the Kitchener with Dinah. What's the song on the old banjo? Yeah, it's, um, you, could you not get out of there fast enough when you were 18? Did you just make it? No, I did not.

I did not like it. It was just like, I didn't, uh, there was nothing there for, it wasn't really like a thriving comedy scene. And you know, like most 18 year olds, you're like, I need to go experience the world. So I moved to Windsor, Ontario. So exotic.

There we go. I don't know. Yeah, I just wanted to try out other things. Sure. And yeah, it's more Kitchener Waterloo, very engineering heavy math. The Perimeter Institute is there and research in motion where the blackberry was invented.

They loved their blackberry Waterloo. My parents were probably the last hands to hold the final blackberry as it died in their arms. My dad loved the blackberry. My dad too and he really defended it. Years after and I would be like, even past this program, I'm like, dad it's not working anymore. I can't text you anymore. He's like, Obama uses it. I'm like, he doesn't anymore. He's got one picture of Obama with a blackberry and that's like, holds that in his heart. What was the thing with Obama?

It was like they had to hide his blackberry. Yeah, because he was always just typing away. Yeah, they were like, it's a national. I never had one. I never got it. I wasn't a BBM girly. I didn't have the- I was a BBL girly myself. Yeah. Yeah

No, I but my dad I think he loved the rolling ball the rolling ball. Yeah, that's scrolling mouse kind of rolling rolling Yeah, I went from just like phone to iPhone I think or oh You didn't do like the many in between interim. Oh, let's go through our phone histories. Oh boy, did you have a Windows phone? I had a Windows phone, I had a Razr. I had a sidecar. I had a Razr. Oh, I never had a Razr.

I always wanted a Razr. Yeah, those were very short-lived. I had a Nokia. Yep. Not the big brick, the little brick. Okay. You could play Snake. And then maybe, did I have anything before? I had like a Samsung flip phone.

Yeah, I love the flip phones. And then, oh my God, the flip phones. It was like a TV show. I wouldn't say goodbye to people. I would go in the conversation and I wasn't trying to be funny or anything. All right, so yeah, Snap. Yeah. You love the Snap.

Then I had a Razr. Abby, my wife, had the LG, it was a mirror, and you like, slided it open, slid, I guess. Yeah, sure. Slowed. Yeah. And then a series of iPhones. I didn't, I never had a Flip.

I had just the solid, like, Nokia, or what's the other one that's like indestructible? Is it Nokia? Nokia is the- Yeah. Indestructible, yeah. And I, no wait, I did have one that was a closed phone and just like a couple weeks ago, I had a dream that that was still my phone.

And everybody's like, get off that phone! And I'm like, no, I like it. I love dreams about, I don't know, like I don't know what your constant, consistent dreaming schedule is, but mine is very boring. Oh, wow. All the time. They're so boring that like... And I'm not kidding about this.

Sometimes... A boring dreamer over here. And I love to hear about boring dreams because they're so funny to me, but sometimes I'm not joking. I will kind of be in a lucid state in the middle of a boring dream and I'll wake up like yawning and being like, oh, when is this going to be over? Like, impatient, impatient. One time I had a dream, this is my most notable boring dream.

I think about it often because it was just so dumb. I was at, I dreamt that I was at the gym and I was on the treadmill and next to me on the treadmill beside me was the rock, I was on the treadmill and next to me on the treadmill beside me was the rock, Dwayne the rock Johnson. This is exciting as far as I'm concerned. Just wait, buckle up. And he was wearing headphones and I got off my treadmill and I went over to him and I tapped him on the shoulder and I made him take his headphones off so that I could ask

him if he thought that the air conditioning was working. Oh, that is good. Yeah, that is really good. You kind of see it snuck up on us. And it started off kind of exciting. Yeah, it was like, wow, you saw the rock. Do you think you're going to get anything? I'm glad you asked me.

This is a constant thing. It's like things like that where I'm bored in the dream. Dave has a couple of favorites. Here's one, a constant, not a constant thing. It's like things like that where I'm like bored in the dream. Dave has a couple of failures. Here's one, a constant, not a constant, but we bring it up a lot is in my dream that it was kind of a crisis, but I woke up really worried because in the dream, my travel agent was gonna retire.

And it wasn't like she was retiring that day, but it was like, in the next few months, you're gonna wanna get some things in order. That's so funny. I think you had another one. You and your pals. I think a bunch of guys were repairing a garage door in one dream.

I love, I need like a Chronicles of Boring, I love, I need like a Chronicles of boring, there's so much more interesting than weird dreams because anything can happen in a weird dream. We know that dreams are weird, but I need to know about how long you were on your computer, moving files around or whatever. I did have one in the last couple of weeks. I don't remember it though,

but I know I was like cooking in it. Yeah. And it was just like, oh yeah, that's nothing. Well, stay tuned once we hit over her, there's a pretty good over dreamt in there. Oh, it's a lot of fun. Yeah, have either of you guys woke up like that before from a dream, like just like panicky and crazy?

Like a nightmare? Yeah, like a nightmare. I have, I'm a frequent night, I'm a night terror. I'm a night terror. It's their album, Night Terror. I'm a night terror, have her, experiencer. But, and I don't, because I live alone, when I'm with other people or other,

like what my parents, they'll overhear the night terrors, but I often won't remember them. So I can't tell you like how frequently I have them, cause I don't know. Sometimes I wake myself up. Right. But I don't know of all the times I don't. Okay, yeah, that's true.

It could be more frequent than I think. You're not putting like a paranormal activity camera. No, I kind of, I'm tempted to do that, but I am too scared of, one time I did that with my cat, I put up a kitty cam and to film my cat all day, just to see what kind of mischief she was up to.

And I was always scared I was gonna see a ghost, but I didn't, I just got really mad that my cat was acting out all day and I had to look at it and she would be like, I saw her like get tangled in the blinds because she was trying to fight my, she saw my landlord outside and so she was trying to fight him.

And I was like, no, no, no. And so I stopped the camera because it was making me too mad watching her what she gets up to all day. Also there's evidence that you ruined your blinds. Yeah. I think it's so weird. I see so many videos of a funny thing

that happened in someone's house. Just a funny video of, oh, my kid did this thing or whatever. Like the idea of having a camera going in my house 24 hours a day is terrifying to me. Yeah. What I get up to. No, sir.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have in my apartment, my bedroom window looks directly into somebody else's bedroom window. I don't know who they are, but I feel so bad for them if they ever glance over. It's me putting my underwear on or maybe me taking my underwear off. Yeah, that's a common thing to do in bedroom and bedroom and sleepwalking too. I used to

sleepwalk and it was, and for some reason I would always just sleepwalk to my drawer and put on an extra pair of underwear and then just go back to bed. And my boyfriend at the time did that too. He put on some of your underwear. I was sleepwalking. No, mine by his own. That's such a funny thing to do in your sleep. I know.

Because you know what it is though? It's because you, it's like you, it's a state of like, um, panic where you think you're not dressed. Oh, you're trying to dress like, oh, I'm so sorry, I better get dressed. Like, you act as if there's other people in your house and you're like, oh my God, I'm sorry, I fell asleep naked and I gotta put some pants on.

I've had dreams, like naked dreams, but I think a lot of people think that they're like, vulnerability or something like that, that's what your brain is trying to express. But in mine, I'm always just convincing everybody, like, this is fine, this is fine. Okay, you don't like it, I'll put on a shirt. Ah!

Ah! Doesn't make you want a shirt? I just think it's on the waist down. I think if psychologically your brain is trying to express penis. Ah! Ah! Ah!

I don't know if it's vulnerability, someone just says penis. Have you had night terrors before either of you? No, I get that thing, just that thing where you're like 80% asleep, I was just falling asleep and then you go. Yeah. You have a mini dream where you're falling for a split second.

Yeah. I've had that, I've had like crazy nightmares where I've woken up like panting, like, like, oh my God, my heart is going so fast, but never. Is that because you're night bitch? Are you night bitch? I'm night bitch. I'm giving night bitch.

Yeah, it's Emily. Have you guys seen night bitch? What's night bitch? Oh, night bitch is a movie with Amy Adams about she's turning into a dog. It's about like- What, is this a real movie? Yeah, it came out last year. I think it's like a, whatever, a metaphor for menopause

or motherhood, some female. That's another, she's done a couple of movies that are like that stuff going on in the night and her sleeping and she's stalking around an empty house and it's a metaphor for something. Yeah, a rival. For penis. Yeah. Enchanted.

Dave, what's going on with you, my friend? Well, speaking of Enchanted, I went to go see a movie about a princess. Oh, is it about Princess Di? Yeah, I went to see Spencer starring Monster Face from Twilight. Yeah. No, I went to see, with my family,

the live action Snow White movie. Oh, okay. Have you guys heard about this? Controversial, I've only heard all the scandals going on. Yeah, it's a big flop. Yeah, it's a big flop. And it's, yeah, I've heard scandal after scandal about it. I can't remember what they were.

People are talking, it's every day it's something new. Yeah, yeah. It's the new, it's Gal Gadot and- Yes, and Rachel Zeichler. Rachel Zeichler, they're the new Lively and Baldoni. Mm-hmm. And you, but apart from that, you just think it's just a flop though.

It's a flop, it is a flop, just in terms of money. Yeah. That's what I've been hearing mostly. Yeah. But- And I think it was also not Previewed it's one of those things where critics didn't get to see it until it was already released. Who cares about that? Disney They think it's better to have no reviews than have people saying like this stinks don't go It's like I saw it has like oh, it's one of the lowest ever movies

on IMDB, it's like 1.6 or something. Oh boy. And what I can tell you is, it's not that bad. No. Okay. It's as good, I mean, I don't know if it's as good as it could be, but certainly these movies that are live action remakes of animated movies can't be that good.

Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen any of the Lion King or, I was gonna say Princess Mermaid, that's not right. Little Mermaid. I did see Princess Little Mermaid. I've seen, I think all of them, and I don't know that I've seen any of the originals. Hmm, what's your take on Disney? Like the remakes, the originals,

did you grow up with Disney? Yeah, I grew up with Disney and I loved all those movies, but I haven't seen I don't think I've seen any Remakes they're not very interesting to me, but I suppose they're not for me, right? They're kids That's the other thing is very few kids are got to see previews as movie I don't know why Was not one of my faves. I don't know why I mean and you could ask that about a lot of movies like right now but like who asked for it but like I guess you could say that about any movie but I'm just surprised I

wouldn't have guessed that they were that that was an idea in someone's head like let's let's remake Snow White but I guess they're doing that with like it's an overhaul of the Disney movies and just remaking everything. They're resetting the Snow White, it's SWU. I think a lot of like, Snow White is beloved because it was like the first of its type and it won an Oscar and then a bunch of little Oscars.

They, seven little Oscars. Yeah, it's very cute. Oh really? Yeah, I never saw Snow White. So I, but I know it like, I know it's famous. I know it's got the dwarves. Dwarves? Dwarves.

Dwarves. Yeah. It's got seven of them. They sing hi-ho hi-ho. Yeah. Okay. They sing, they whistle while you work. Yeah. That might be the same song.

No, they're different. Okay. Well, you're the expert. No, they're different. Okay. You're the expert. I haven't seen it. Cause I just saw it. I know she like gets dressed by, wait, does she get dressed by birds? By birds, yes, I think so.

She also, there's an evil queen who likes to look in the mirror and the mirror says who's the prettiest, fairest. Just picturing getting like dressed by a bunch of birds and they're just shitting everywhere. Yeah, they can't imagine they're doing a good job. Like yeah, they can work the buttons with their beaks. And Snow White's just like re-reading a newspaper. Avian Flu?

What? Get out of here. I think that I forget between Snow White and, cause both of them, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, they both fall asleep, right? And it's something magical goes on. A kiss, are they both woken by a kiss? Oh yeah, there's a poison apple. Oh yeah, poison apple, right, right, right.

I heard they didn't use a good apple. What do they use, are they delicious? I heard there's a type, oh no, what is it called? It's a specific type of apple. I knew the name of it yesterday and now I forget, but it's like the red apple that looks like it could be a snow white apple. It's called something like a snow white apple.

Okay. But I heard that, and I don't know, but I heard that it was enough to snuff this apple. Oh really, even with CGI they couldn't. I also haven't seen it I heard that like it was enough to snuff this apple. Oh really even with CGI I don't know. I also haven't seen it, but oh guys gotta see it Originally, I remember one of the early controversies was the dwarves were gonna be played by they weren't gonna be dwarves They're just gonna be seven dudes. Yeah, they're seven. They're They're basically CGI. Yeah guys. Oh, they are

Yeah, but they have seven different voice actors, but I don't think the voice actors are physical actors. And doesn't Dopey talks? Dopey, well, that's the thing. Dopey comes out of his shell. He comes out of his shell? Well, I was watching it and I was like, huh, maybe Dopey doesn't talk.

I guess I didn't know that was a thing about Dopey. Yeah, he was, and then was Dopey, What's Dopey about him? Is he just doesn't talk? I don't even remember what, what are they? Dopey, Sleepy, Grumpy. Yep, Sleepy, Sleepy sleeps. Blitzen.

Blitzen. Grumpy's in a bad mood. Doc seems to be the guy with the glasses. Yeezy is one of them. Yeezy? Yep. Yep. Sneezy. Sneezy. Yep. And that's not a personality trait.

Doc. Did I say doc? Mentioned. What do we got? We got five? We got five, including Dopey. Happy. Bashful.

Happy and Bashful. Bashful. And those are all, yeah, that, I don't know what Dopey's deal is, except that I know he puts the gems up to his eyes and he goes all crazy. Oh yes. Yeah, he was funny. He's actually really cute in this. Yeah, Nashville?

Nope, Dopey. Dopey, okay, yeah. I loved Dopey in the original. I mean I've seen it a million years ago, like the original one. And then. And I was in a small play where I got to be, who was I? I might've been Doc. Oh sure, because you had the beard.

Yeah. What was his age? Eight or nine? You didn't think like Doc was a real Doc though. He wouldn't be working in the mines if he was an actual Doc. But he is the one that they, in this movie anyway,

when she gets poisoned, he's like, oh better pump her stuff He performs a tracheotomy on her and then she falls asleep and then there's not a prince in this one. There's like, uh, It's I gotta tell you this movie's a little woke. Oh yeah, don't they do a handshake and two eggs up or something? No, I just mean the queen is hoarding wealth and all the, everyone else has turned to crime

and so it's a criminal, it's the bandits that are, the sexy head bandit is in charge of kissing. Oh. And also in the group of bandits, there's a little person, the sexy head bandit is in charge of kissing. And also in the group of bandits, there's a little person, but all the dwarfs are CGI. Oh, this sounds very convoluted. No, it's as easy as it comes. When you were younger, do you recall the Disney Vault

as being one of their key advertisements? What does that mean? Maybe like, we're opening the Disney Vault and we're just selling You're gonna see Peter Pan for a month. And then they take it off shelves, which I mean, maybe that worked as a business. But- What do you mean?

Like they would advertise, okay, we're opening the Disney Vault. Okay. You can buy this movie that you wouldn't otherwise be the Disney vault. Okay. You can buy this movie that you wouldn't otherwise be able to buy. Okay. For a limited time. For a limited time.

Buy it before it goes back in the vault. Oh, I don't know, I don't remember that. And all the VHS cases were puffy. Yeah. Puffy? Were they puffy or were they just big? They were big, they were big. Was there nothing puffy about them? It might've been a little puffy.

Were they squishable? Yeah, you could sleep with one for sure. What was your association with Disney? Did you watch all the movies? Did you go to Disneyland? Yeah, I went to Disneyland, which is, well, which is the one in Florida? Is that Disneyland? Disney World.

Oh, it's Disney, okay. I only went to Disney World then. Yeah, I mean, I liked Donald Duck. Sure. The classics. Goofy. You think it's being pantsless? My brother and I, what?

Donald Duck is pantsless. Yeah, he sure is. My brother and I were obsessed with Goof Troop. I remember Goof Troop. We loved Goofy, a Goofy movie. Whatever the offshoot ones, there was a bunch of Goofy movies, I think. Goofy was funny.

Goof Troop, and then we had Game Boy, and we played Goof Troop the game on Game Boy, and we loved that. Then just for girly things, I loved Beauty and the Beast, like Belle probably. Belle and Princess Jasmine. You know what? The Belle, the Beauty and the Beast live action, it's okay.

But it's also like, I mean, I've only seen the clippets from it, but in the cartoon, it's all cartoons and stuff, but in the remake, she's a real woman and then he's like a weird beast guy. Yeah. It kind of doesn't, just doesn't read the same. And in the real life, Josh Gad's there. Oh yeah, as a cup. I just think as an animated cartoon,

like the whole beast thing was just easier to overlook that he was a girl and a beast, because there's just whatever, they're just cartoons. I think making it live action is a bit boring. Well, you're wrong, It's actually really comforting. Hot. Comforting and hot. And there's some throbbing going on under there.

My technical difficulty. Oh, sure. Okay, and just the big group. Don't worry about it. I got too hot and bothered thinking about the beast. By the beast. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Hold on. There used to be a TV show that was Beauty and the Beast. I was just gonna say that. With Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton. Yeah. And that was, he lived at the sewer. Was that hot?

Well, it was very hot. Cause he looked like a lion. He didn't look like a buffalo man. Yeah. And he was, I feel like that was a Friday night show. Yes. Yeah. And maybe like four adults, but at the same time,

like what adult was watching Beauty and the Beast and the total show. Yeah. Yes, I remember the soap opera four adults, but at the same time, like what adult was watching Beauty and the Beast and the Tell Me Show? Yes, I remember the soap opera, the Beauty and the Beast one. Well, I just remembered like,

I don't know that I've watched it, but saw some scenes and then some ads. And I couldn't, it seemed kind of scary to me as a kid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this one, okay. Yeah, he looked like a lion face. Yes. He looks like that woman who gets the cat.

Yes. The plastic surgery looked like a cat. Yeah. And this ran from 1987 to 1990. So did they have like an ongoing- On again, off again, will they? Yeah, exactly. Will they? Kind of. Like were they just together as a couple the whole time or? I'm just looking at the names of the characters.

Ron Perlman as Vincent, the Beast. Sure. Jay Akavone, Akavone, as Deputy DA Joe Maxwell. Oh, maybe he solved crimes or something. And Linda Hamilton as Assistant District Attorney, Catherine Chandler. Oh, so this was a procedural with the beast. Beauty and the lawyer. Yes, it was. Beauty and the DA.

The adventures and romance of a sensitive and cultured lion man. And a crusading assistant district attorney in Manhattan. Why does he have all those candles then? I think doesn't he live in the sewer? In the sewer zone. I know, I remember the, like, whatever you would call it,

I don't know, the cinematographer, like the lensing, it was filtered in a way that was very like dreamy, you know? Yeah, yeah. I love it. In the remake of Beauty and the Beast, do they have, how do they do, like do they do the dishware and everybody?

Yeah, they do live action dishes. They use regular dishes just on invisible strings. They snuck into a Greek wedding, so a bunch of dishes, saved the dishes before they got smashed. This is the, like, this is how, like, growing up with all of these different types of the dishes we're talking in, the beasts were kind of guys a bit. And then also, I feel like, and then I also,

girls had crushes, I don't know if this was like, this for little boys, but girls had crushes on inanimate objects or the beast. Sure, you got a boy stint too. Or like Robin Hood was a fox. Oh, you hear the Robin Hood fox. Casper the ghost. I had a huge crush on Casper the ghost. When you say inanimate objects, I thought you meant like, yeah, I had a crush on a bench. No, kind of because of Chip, the little chipped cup.

Little guy. Yeah, the little guy. But like he's too young for me. I was young. I don't currently have a crush on him. When you like Casper, is it from the movie or from the cartoon or comic book? Well, see, the movie. Yeah.

Well, okay, so this was a confusing era in my life because I'm, I said since watching that movie I loved Casper the one with Christina Ricci and Devin Salwa and that was their Christina Ricci and Devin Salwa were having a time making movies like Devin Salwa was in Little Giants and then he was in I don't know the order of it but he was in Casper then he was in Wild America with Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Brad Renfro, I think. And then he was in something else too, I forget. And then a bunch of other stuff. And then Christina Ricci was in Now and Then,

and Devin Sawa was also in Now and Then, one of my favorite movies. And this was like it all in a short time. And then, so I watched Casper, and this is like it all in a short time. And then, so I watched Casper and when, and this is like a monumental event in every prepubescent girl's life was when Devin Sawa as the human Casper descended down the stairs and we're all like, oh my gosh, it's him. But I-

Is that the end of the movie? Yeah, the end of the movie. Spoilers. I'm not sorry. And I- And what does she say to him? What's the like classic line that I've never seen? Can I keep you?

I think yes. Yes, can I keep you? And so I- Gross. It was confusing for me because, so I have since learned that I'm bisexual, have known that for some years, but at the time when I was a kid, I didn't know.

And I think it probably took me a long time to find out because I was attracted to both Christina Ricci and Devin Salva and the ghost. And so I'm like, maybe that's just- Maybe you're trisexual. Yeah, maybe I'm just attracted to everybody. I'm trisexual. I'll try anything sexual.

That's right. Um, so she says, can I keep you at the end? Does that mean he doesn't? He says that to her. Oh, he says it to her? Yes. Yeah. Does he have parents now?

Like, or do they care that he's alive? Oh, they're dead. No, his parents are dead. He has the stinky uncles, stinky fatso and, and uh. Doc. No, but it's something like that. Stinky bad girlso and like, Oh my gosh, it might be doc. No Casper now. Um,

sorry. Sorry. Father Guido, sir. Doochie in the movie at the very beginning of the movie, Dan Ackroyd makes a cameo as Rey stands, he runs out. So then Ghostbusters and Casper exist in the same universe. The Crypt Keeper apparently exists as well

in this universe. It's Stinky Fatso and Stretch, I think. Stretch, who's the tall guy. He's always stretching around everything. That's his ghostly power. And the other one, the fat he could he eats a bunch of oh It's got this kid from you're killing me smalls. Yeah Wait, is he not he's not he's not he squints. He's good from the sandlot

when I kissed the Lifeguard I don't know. Oh you got to check out the fan. Have you not seen the sandlot? Yeah, but I saw like- Yeah, I kinda don't really remember it that much. Wait, he was also in The Opposite of Sex? With Christina Ricci? I think we're getting too obsessed with these. It's getting all tangled up. Is Christina Ricci also, wait, he was also in The Big Green

with your killabesimals? I love, yes, I love The Big Green. I love The Big Green. That is a good poster with just the- Okay, I apologize listener for all these visual clues and actors names flying around. When we're talking about the poster, we're talking about the goalie

getting a crotch full of soccer ball. Steve Gutenberg in his prime. Yeah. You have a crush on him maybe? I'm sure I did during that movie. Did you ever see any of the Police Academy movies? Yes. Was there any particular officer you had a crush on?

No, I kind of don't. I grew up with older cousins who introduced me to these movies and I don't really remember a lot of them. Were there any older cousins you had a crush on? I'm sure I did. I'm sure I did. Dave, who's your Police Academy crush? Here's one hint. I'm sure I did. I'm sure I did. Dave, who's your police academy crush? I'll give, here's one hint. I don't know what his character's name is,

but we know it's Michael Witzel. I liked Tackleberry. He had all sorts of guns. Oh, he was the gun guy. And then I liked Bobcat Goathwaite. He was great. Oh, sure. But he wasn't in the OG, he had all sorts of guns. Oh, he was the gun guy. And then I liked Bobcat Goathewaite, he was great. Oh, sure. But he was in the OG, he came out. Okay.

Anyways, we could go on and on forever. We could go on about these movies. Check out the new Snow White, take your kids to it, they don't care. Yeah, the kids don't care about these things. They don't hold it so precious. I think we need to chill a bit. Although my kids both were like, eh.

Yeah, why are we going into this? We didn't wanna go to it. Here's why we're going, it's spring break. We got 14 days to fill. Yeah, well, everybody go check it out because nobody else has. Yeah, it's gonna be, you're gonna have a lot of leg room in the theater.

A lot of leg room in the theater. A lot of leg room. Yeah, most movie theaters have, there's so many people watching the movie. I took my prosthetic leg off in a movie theater one time. It was Dunkirk. I took it off. Just because like I don't sit here. Out of respect. Take your hat off for the National Anthem. I don't remember why. Did the bassy sound effects shake it off? Just blew it right off me. Whoa. Why did you just like?

We went to a matinee and we were sitting at the side where there's only like two seats at the very side aisle seats. Yeah. And I don't, and we had, I don't know. I was just feeling free spirited, I guess. And I just wanted to be relaxed. And I think everyone was so spread out. It was me and my boyfriend at the time. And yeah, just leg off.

Just for the experience, I guess. When's the last time you were at a full movie theater? Ooh. For me it's been years. I go, so I don't, I don't watch a lot of movies. full movie theater. For me it's been years. I go, so I don't watch a lot of movies. I know, that's why they're not full. I know, and I know, but even in general,

I'm a TV watcher, I'm not a movie watcher that much. But I do love horror. And so if there's a new horror movie, I will go see it. So Scream, the Screams I always go see, and that's always full on like the first few nights. Yeah, that's true. Actually, the time I went to Conclave and Robbie Williams' Monkey movie,

those were both pretty full because they were Tuesday cheap mayonnaise. Horror movies are usually pretty full in the first week. Yeah. Yeah. Oppenheimer, full, and Barbie full. And Barbie full, yes, yes, yes. Barbie definitely.

Jam packed. I can't remember, Barbenheimer, wow, Those were the last two. Barbie definitely. Jam packed. Yeah, remember Barbenheimer? Wow, what a fun all in all. Oh yeah. What's gonna be this summer's Barbenheimer? Jake Paul and Luke Paul. Who's the other Paul brother? Logan. Logan, that's the guy.

Are they both coming, are they putting out contrasting movies? Yeah. One about masculinity, one about femininity. What's your favorite, before we move on, your favorite horror movie or could you not pick a movie? It's hard, right? It's hard, but my favorite franchise is Scream.

I love the Screams. Okay, classic. And Drag Me to Hell. I love Drag Me to Hell. Drag Me to Hell is one of the best. It's so good. Right up to the last second. Oh, is that Alison Lohman?

Yes, and Justin Long. Sam Raimi film. Sam Ra of the best. It's so good. Right up to the last second. Oh, is that Alison Lohman? Yes, and Justin Long. Sam Raimi film. Sam Raimi, yeah. That's good. I love both of them, very similar like tone. I like it's campy, but it's a little bit creepy still. Yeah. It's got that like suspensy.

Yeah, I like that. It's not totally comical, but it is comical. Do you find that you can rewatch a horror movie? Cause I don't think, yeah. Oh yeah, I always have them playing in the background. Yeah. That's your like, oh, okay. don't think- Oh yeah, I always have them playing in the background. Yeah. That's your like- Yep, white noise.

Oh, okay. Yep, I like it. I find comfort in them, I guess. Is this a spoiler when talking about Drag Me to Hell? If I'd said- Uh-oh. Well, like, cause I want to talk about this phenomenon of movies.

Are there any movies where like, the title ruins the last, or like, refers to the last thing you see. Yeah. Like there will be blood. You're like, there's no blood. Oh, until there is. There goes, yeah.

And drag me to hell. You're like, she's not getting dragged to hell. I think, yeah, I actually think I went in cause you don't know if or who's going to be dragged to hell. I don't even think I was really even thinking about it. I thought maybe it's like an, just an expression. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Oh my God, drag me to hell. I don't even think I was really even thinking about it. I thought maybe it's like an, just an expression. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying?

I'm like, oh, drag me to hell. Drag me to hell. One of those common colloquialisms. Yeah. Well, drag me to hell. Yeah. Knock me over with a feather. Graham, what's going on with you?

Well, I was, as Courtney can attest, I was out in Ontario, went and did a couple of recordings with the debaters. Whereabouts? Did you go to Kitchener Waterloo? We went, well, maybe I don't know where we were close to on the map. Well, it wasn't close at all. Not really. I went to Toronto,

Appenent City, Capitol of Canada, just like- Capital of Canada? Yeah, capital, they just got it. They just moved it over to Toronto. Ottawa's like, we can't, we can't. Yeah, I can't even. We shouldn't be the capital. There's all sorts of great streets,

King, Queen, Dufferin, Danforth. Oh yeah. Eglinton. I don't know if I can name any more streets. And then we went to Barrie. Then we went to Barrie, Ontario. Yes. Where's that?

Where's that? Where is it? It's an hour and a bit away from Toronto. It's north and it's like around like Musko, Collingwood, it's like on your way to Cottage Country. That's where Barrie is. That's their slogan is we're the gateway. We're the gateway to Cottage Country. Cottage where Barry is. That's their slogan is we're the gateway. We're the gateway to cottage country.

Cottage country or whatever. Yeah. And Courtney was debating, there's always something happening in Barry. Were you in favor, pro or against that? It was against. Yes. It was a very fun debate. Yeah. What is, because I've heard of it many times, but there's like a million cities in Southern California and Ontario.

I mean. Yes. Yep. But then I'm like, this is, they're all just kind of get clumped together in my mind. Are they distinctive from each other? Would people in Barry be like, oh, we're nothing like the people from Vaughan. Yeah. Oh yeah, probably.

Yeah, they would. They would. And that's why it's fun to like, because you can like the people from Vaughan. Yeah, oh yeah, probably. Yeah, they would. They would. And that's why it's fun to like, cause you can always, especially in the debaters or even just doing standup, you can toss out the name of their rival town. Yeah, we hate them. But you can, yeah, but they are distinctive enough where,

yeah, they all have a little flavor. A little something, yeah. I mean, do we need Ottawa and Oshawa? Yeah, get rid they all have a little flavor. A little something, yeah. I mean, do we need Ottawa and Oshawa? Yeah, get rid of the schwa, that's what I really want. Oh, those are two completely different cities though. Could be more opposite Oshawa and Ottawa. The schwa and the toa really are worlds apart. Yeah, that's true.

And like Oshawa, very blue collar kind of town. Is there what is steel plant there or car plant? Car plant. Car plant. Phil Hanley was from there. Phil Hanley was from there, yeah. So we're in Barrie. And the one thing I was doing research about Barrie,

what they were famous for at the turn of the last century was for ice. That was the big industry there. They would, yeah, in the winter, they would chop out cubes of ice, bring it to a train, roll it in sawdust, and then ship it all over the country. Why sawdust?

I guess it insulates it. Oh, yeah. And so that was their big industry for a while. And you would put it in your ice box. Yeah, yeah. You'd put it in like a metal, I guess, like a steel thing, and you'd put like a block of ice in it.

My grandmother remembered when that was. Really? Yeah, she was like, no, we had one of those. Cause it was only like, would have only been in the 50s, 40s, 50s, they would have got fridges. Yeah, fridges came around. In any case. Yeah, that's why food is so gross.

Continue that thought. Well, I mean like,, think of how many canned goods like we still have just because canning was so necessary back then. Why do we have so many cans of jars and whatnot? Yeah, it's like, cause you couldn't refrigerate any fruit or anything. So now you, that's why you can still buy

canned peaches or whatever. Yeah, well, that's why you can still buy canned peaches or whatever. Yeah, well, but a canned peach, woo-wee. It is delicious. It is pretty good, but it's so slippery though. Yeah, that's true. They are very slippery and slimy. I'm always blown away by how like recent certain things,

like you learn about, I don't know, this you'll have to maybe fact check this in post or something, but I read. Fact. I can do it right now. Or right now, technology is crazy. I'll probably check on my BlackBerry. Okay, well then check this, see if this is right.

Cause I heard, I mean, it doesn't seem that crazy, but just like only as recently as like the seventies, people weren't taking hot showers just for the luxury of like a nice hot shower to relax in. Like that concept wasn't around until like you didn't think, you showered for necessity and utility and that was it. But like a hot shower is like a de-stressor. It's like it's helpful for comfort and it's like a luxurious thing. I'm not gonna look that up. It's an everyday luxury, but like in the seven, it's like wasn't until the seventies, I guess, that people even thought to do that.

And there was also like, you know, from cowboy times to what, the twenties, that if you wanted a bath, it had to be like hot water. Yes, the resource of hot water was- Was it Sophie Buddle talking about how her whole family would share a bath? Like they would like reuse the water for each other. It was some guest of ours. Sorry, Sophia, it's not you.

Yeah, it's, yeah, a lot of those things that you just assume have always kind of been around. Yeah. Yeah, like iceboxes, like, okay, well, that was the major industry of this town. That's why the town existed. Do you think anyone was looking forward being like, this is gonna live for this good last forever

Yeah, oh, yeah, I was gonna need ice and we're the place to get it and one guy is like I'm leaving this ice down I'm gonna be an elevator operator Job with the future I thought you were gonna say cuz there's always like The way we perceive time. I always see these posts online that are like, you know, Cleopatra was still alive when we had Humphrey Bogart. Or like there were still like wooly mammoths around at the time of Cleopatra.

It's got to be it. at the time of Cleopatra. It's gotta be it. Or like Cleopatra was alive closer to our time than to when the- Oh, the ice age? No, when the pyramids were built. Oh, oh shit, yeah. Oh man.

I mean, yeah, that is crazy too. Yeah, so Barry, famous for ice. And their thing, they had like a couple shops that they really talked up. Devin Sawa was alive closer to our time. He made idle hands closer to our time than he made Casper. And so, you know, in a small town,

everybody's got their thing, right? This is the check out the brewery or this restaurant or, you know, gotta go to the park or whatever. So there's a restaurant, not gonna say the name, but their big thing on the menu, and I mean, it was glaring on the menu. It was like ice. Get some of our berry ice.

Got it out of the lake. Do you wanna Coke? Do you want anything in it? Yeah. You want to leave sawdust on, take sawdust off. Sawdust is the garnish. Yeah, you want to leave sawdust on, take sawdust off. Yeah. Sawdust is the garnish. Yeah, that's right, on this side.

Ooh, this sawdust. That's a smell I like. Sawdust? Yeah. Especially covering up the vomit all around me. But this restaurant, their big thing was beer that they had, all sorts of billions different beer, and their nachos are supposed to be the best nachos.

And they're like, we layer it with cheese. They're not soggy at all. They're like the best nachos you've ever had. Honest to God, I think in my top three bottom nachos I've ever had in my life. I would have guessed absolutely that that's the case. No, I knew that was going there. They put so much sauce on it that it was-

Of course. I had to eat it with a fork and knife. Like that- No, no, no. That is bad, right? It's so brazen to brag about your nachos like that. Yes. When it's like- The hubris of these people. The hubris because you know that they're layering them

and then they wanna impress you with all this extra shit and it's just gonna be soggy and disgusting. Yeah, it was exactly soggy and disgusting. Speaking of soggy and disgusting, you wanna know my very experience of that exact day? Oh yes. So I didn't stay overnight. Graham's not gonna tell you the name of the restaurant.

It was Soggies. I told you not to say. Soggies part and grill. You couldn't tell by the name. Um, so we had like the option of staying the night in Berry, for those of us coming from Toronto and I, that initially was my plan. And so I live in Toronto and I have a cat at home

and I thought, well, Berry is only like an hour-ish away. And like, I left around 4 PM, um, with my ride to get to Barry and we were planning on coming back the next morning so I was like my cat doesn't need a check in from a neighbor. Sure, I've got a camera on my cat. I've got the kitty cam. She's pretty, she's an old cat. She's a senior cat.

She's pretty good at like self-regulating. So I'll just leave enough food out for her for tomorrow and if I happen to come back mid-morning or even later she'll be fine for like whatever not even 24 hours and so I put out enough food around 4 p.m. she had already eaten her full day's worth at this point so she's already should be full okay and I go to Barry and around I find out that someone is driving back the same night and I switch my plans I decide not to stay over at the hotel and to come home that night. You miss though the hotel

I miss the hotel. I'm just waiting because you were like speaking of soggy. What's gonna happen? Well, glad you asked I came so I ended up coming home Well, glad you asked. I came, so I ended up coming home. So I'm away from my apartment from, sorry, from 4 p.m. till 10, I got home at 10 p.m. Record timing, actually. That's pretty good. I get in the door.

Sounds like a pretty wild show. I know. I know. As invaders. I like to start nice and early. Yeah, we, I get, I walk in the door, my cat's bowl is fully empty. She has eaten all, both double portions for tomorrow by in a six hour window.

Wow. She's eaten all of it for no reason. For no reason. She had already eaten that day. And then I go over to her chair where she was sitting and she barfed it all up. Nice. And she barfed it all up and she barfed it all up.

And I was actually blown away that she had done this because I, that's what me going out from like four to ten is like just a regular day. Yeah. How did, I don't know if she sensed that I had overloaded her bowl and maybe she sensed a shift in routine and that's why she did that. But I was actually. She needed to have some extra strength to fight your landlord. Oh, yeah. So I came home to that. Barry Barf.

I stayed in the hotel, and it was fine. The breakfast, I should also mention, worst breakfast. It was just awful. Barry, just couldn't get your food right. Soggy, dry? I don't know. It all looked so bad that You're just gonna get your food right. Yeah. Soggy, dry? I don't know, it all looks so bad that I just took yogurts back to my room. Sure.

Well, you're gluten-free. What are you gonna do? Exactly. You can't have the soggy waffles, the soggy pancakes. And the eggs, you know what I mean? Oh, sure. It was like continental, you mean? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, but not, I don't know what continental. I have a question. And dark to good. One of the reasons why I decided to come back Yeah, but I don't know what continent. I have a question. Antarktica. One of the reasons why I decided to come back is because I've stayed, so I've been doing a lot of like road gigs recently and it's minor hockey league season and the kids are running up and down those halls and I am a light sleeper and I figured that this seemed like the hotel where they might be. Yeah. Were they there? Yeah, there were kids, there were like little kids running around and screaming. And also I find anytime that I'm at a hotel

where it's on, like if I go on Hotwire or anything that's booked for me, my room right across the hall from the elevator. So I get to hear the soulful sounds of people talking all the way up. The only time I've ever changed hotel rooms was once when I, it was in Toronto at the, what's the Fairmont?

Yeah, Royal York. Royal York, which is like a very fancy hotel, but also a hundred years old and all the rooms are tiny. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like very fancy lobby, and then the rooms are just normal. Oh, so sorry, go ahead. But then I also, the loudest elevator in the world. Yeah. Well, it was right across from my room. And I had to like within two minutes of getting in the room,

I was like, I need to renegotiate this. I think that's fair. I just picked up, just for the Juno, some of the like the packages, they give you like a welcome package and you have to go pick it up at the Fairmont. Oh yeah. And they told, they were like, this, this Fairmont hotel is haunted. They're all haunted. You go to any Fairmont and they will tell you it's haunted. The Royal York is haunted. The Ottawa one is haunted. And now this one, are they all haunted? The Hotel Vancouver, yeah, I guess that's the one. Not by the same ghost though.

No, it's the same ghost as Caspar. What? Yeah. And they say on a quiet night, they'll say, can I keep you? Can I keep you? You belong to me or whatever. Yeah, can I drag you to hell?

She was telling me that the one in Ottawa, it's the wife of, she said that like the architect or someone was a Titanic, or a sinker, I think. Oh, a sinker. And I don't know, the wife haunts the hotel. And then, yeah, the Titanic sank, this person died, then they got on a train to the hotel. I don't know. And then the, yeah, the Titanic sank, this person died, then they got on a train to the hotel. I feel like if you're gonna haunt anywhere,

hotels are pretty good place, because there's like a lot of turnover, different things happening all the time. Like if you're in a haunted house, you're just walking around the same, floating, I guess. Floating around the same boring house. Is there a thing you're supposed to say to a ghost where you're like, I mean you no harm,

just trying to get some sleep? Yeah,'re like, I mean you no harm, just trying to get some sleep? Yeah, I think mean you no harm or I'm doing, what are they doing? I'm binding you, I'm binding you. Do you know that you have unfinished business? Have you ever heard that? That's like witch stuff. I've never heard I'm binding you.

I've never heard I'm binding you either. It's guys, you both need to sit down and watch a little movie called The Craft, okay? Oh, sure. Oh, they say that in The Craft? Yeah, I bind you. Why don't I remember that, okay? Oh, sure. Oh, they say that in The Craft? Yeah, I bite. Why don't I remember that, okay? Well, time for a rewatch.

I'm on the background. I get my Ouija board out, I'm staying at the Hotel Vancouver, I'm telling the ghosts that their light is a feather, so there's a board. When I, there's a scene in it where bus driver says to them as they're getting off the bus, they say, careful out there, there are a lot of weirdos. And she says,

sir, we are the weirdos. And I say that in my head a lot of times when I get off a bus. Classic. Sir, we are the weirdos. We are the weirdos. You're supposed to say thanks, driver. Yeah. Thank you, driver. I'm weird. Should we move on to some over-hears? I think that's a brilliant idea. Should we move on to some overhears? I think that's a brilliant idea.

Okay. I gotta tell you, I feel very nervous about this because one of my- Just picture us naked. Okay. No, picture me though with a shirt on please. I'll picture you going into my drawer and putting my underwear on. Now listeners will remember you had one of the all-time great over-heards.

See, this is the thing. This is the thing is that I didn't overheard that I didn't realize how like funny it was in the moment and then it made it onto my one of my albums because the reception was so positive and glowing. Now this was thank you. This was about a Roomba. Yes it was yeah it was a maintenance guy in my it was just a comical exchange and and I don't remember my second one because we're still up for debate whether I did a second one. Yeah we're not sure. We're not 100% sure that I was here twice. Yeah.

But this one, okay, this one was before I left to come here. This girl was on the phone on the subway with her girlfriend, presumably making plans for the night. And they were discussing what their big plans, they're gonna have a girls night. What are we gonna do? And she's talking about, well, we gotta get martinis and we gotta go dancing. We gotta do drinks, we gotta do dancing. And she's trying to convince the girl on the other end of the phone, like, no, come on, we gotta go out, we gotta do this. And she's, and the other girl is, I guess, making some different suggestions. Sure. is I guess making some different suggestions. Like no, no, no, no, no, martinis, dancing.

She goes, martinis and dancing tonight? That's just the vibe I'm feeling or bowling. I'm a complicated person. And I liked that. I thought that was nice. Well rounded person. Oh my God. Oh, yes, bowling please. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I liked that. I thought that was nice. Well-rounded person. Oh my God. Oh, you, yes, bowling, please.

Yes, absolutely, martinis and then off the bowling alley. Dancing in those slippery shoes. Yeah, super easy, super fun. Yeah, you know, that's one genre of blooper or video that I never got sick of is bowling mishaps. Oh! Not the people getting hurt, but like swinging too hard and it flies through the ceiling. or a video that I never got sick of is bowling mishaps. Not the people getting hurt, but like swinging too hard and a flower flies through the ceiling or,

you know, all these kind of, it's just, I mean, my heart belongs to bowling, I love it. Do you like martinis? No, I think I like the one I first was able to drink because it was a very martini time. Oh, it was martini time? Yeah. You, martinis? No, I like the idea of them.

They're so cool. I like the aesthetic. I don't like the taste of most alcohol. The taste is very- I find it vile. Burning. Yes. Yeah.

I can't comfortably drink a martini. You know what? I like it. Yeah? I don't choose it very often. Would you just like a classic olive martini? Well, my dad usually makes them, but he doesn't do it in a martini glass. He'll just do like a glass glass with ice and vodka

and the tiniest bit of vermouth, is that what's in it? Yeah, vermouth. And he, so like I'll get there, we'll have a family dinner on a Sunday night and he'll just be like, Martini boy? He doesn't call me boy. Who's my little Martini boy? It's me, dad.

Yes it is. Anyway, yeah, I like a Martini. But it's probably in my, you know, only top 30 cocktails. Fair enough. That's fair enough. Maybe cracks the top 20. We'll get the full list. We'll post it on Twitter.

I've always wanted to try all of the ones that used to be when we used to go for Chinese food as a kid and they had the cocktail menu. There was Rob Roy, Pink Lady. These are classics. Classics. I've never had any of them. But I just remember. Rob Roy's pretty good. It's a Rob Roy. Yeah?

I mean, is it called something else? I don't even hear anyone say Rob Roy anymore. I was thinking of a Roy Rogers. Roy Rogers is a mocktail. Oh. It's like Coke and grenadine or something. Yeah, I feel like there was, you're right, there's like an era of drinks and Rob Roy and like,

I mean like something like a Manhattan still around but. A Rob Roy is, it says what is a Rob Roy made of? Ingredients, ice. Okay, good, got it, check. From Berry maybe? Oh yeah, could be Berry, ice. Scotch whiskey, sweet vermouth, bitters, and a lemon peels.

I think if it's got vermouth in it, it's like a Martini Junior. Martini Junior. Dave, do you have an overword? Didn't I just go? Okay, so I was at a, this isn't particularly funny either, it was just, it just felt like this is a guy

who's given this information about himself a million times. Yeah. I was in line at a coffee shop and there were two people like chatting each other up or just chatting in line. They didn't know each other, but they were getting to know this guy was giving his life story in one minute. Yeah.

And he clearly had done it before. He had it down pat. and he was like, yeah Well, I I moved here cuz back home We had a family business and family and business are two things that don't always go together And my family tree is more of a shrub. It goes up and out That's kind of a fun twist on the family tree. You know, my family tree's full of, it's a cactus because it's filled with pricks

was one of those. Oh yeah. Like a classic family tree. I was like, I just can't really picture what a regular family tree looks like. So I, it goes up and out. Up and out. Down and, I think down and over is the traditional.

Yeah, his goes back in time. Yeah, yeah. It starts with two at the top and then branches off, right? I think a family tree can go, wait, does it go up in terms of time? It's like a pyramid. More like a pyramid. Yeah, it all starts with one guy.

Do you have an over-her? I do, I have an overseen. And if you know the answer immediately, don't participate, but. Oh, I know. What is it? 3.14159. You got it, pie, I saw pie cooling on a window sill.

I saw an ad for glasses, a glassware company. Wait, glasses like drinking glasses? No, like eyeglasses. And the slogan was like something along the lines of like with brand new technology and it had a celebrity endorsement, I guess, on it. Who do you think, I'll tell you this, a Canadian celebrity. Who would you say would be eyeglass?

I don't know this, but I'm gonna, if I guess it right, does it ruin it as well? Nope. Okay, Howie Mandel. No, but good guess, cause he'll sell anything. Yeah. Yeah. Also, he's a glasses wearer.

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't know. Maybe this was their first choice was Howie Mandel. And they're like, well. Canadian celebrity. Well, Howie Mandel, he's in those ads with the terrible ads for Canadian underwear. It's a, I've tried the underwear, it's good.

Because Howie said so. But no, I was like, oh, now, now I don't want any more of this underwear. Howie Mandel wears it. You gonna guess, Courtney? Eugene Levy. Another glasses wear. I'm just thinking. You gonna guess, Courtney? Eugene Levy. Another glasses wearer. This Canadian glasses.

This guy, not a glasses wearer. Commander Chris Hadfield. Oh, I've seen these commercials. Anyways, it just struck me as like, he doesn't wear glasses. He's not known as a glasses, Jordy LaForge. Sure, sure.

Famous astronauts in glasses. I would thinkForge, sure. Sure, some famous astronauts in glasses. I would think you're actually not allowed to, like the way that fighter pilots have to have 2020 vision, I would think that. You would hope. That astronauts need to as well. But like what is business? I know Chris Hadfield has perfect pitch.

Hey boogie woogie rock and roll in space, I'm a boogie woogie astronaut rock and roll in space. I'm a boogie-woogie astronaut. Check out my mustache. If people don't know who he is, you know how in America, like, if a guy played a guitar on, you know, out in space, it would be a new story for one hour. We've decided to make this guy part of our cultural identity. Yeah. Because he played a guitar in space.

He played the guitar in space. He played the guitar and space. He's a Canadian astronaut. He is, yeah. And then now he's since gone on like theater tours with his rock band. And it is all that boogie woogie space music. Look at me. Good Lord.

We also have overheard sent in to us by people all over the world. If you want to send one in, send it in to sbyatmaximumfun.org. This first one comes from Nora in San Francisco. I was at the aquarium. Oh, Nora? Oh, congratulations. Oh, yeah. Congratulations on your big win.

I was in the aquarium in Chicago standing by the window of the dolphin tank. Next to me, there was a group of little girls on a school field trip. They were about eight years old and were all wearing adorable school uniforms. Two dolphins swam up to the glass and started jumping around and swimming together. Very playful and cute.

And the group of girls all started chanting, fight, fight. All laugh. I love those girls. If dolphins, so nevermind. Go on. Dolphins are like really smart. Do they like being held captive in an aquarium? I can't imagine so.

But why are they being playful in front of these kids? They're probably doing something we don't even understand. Shouldn't they look sad? So we... They can't, they got that permanent smile on their face. That's true. Like a stingray. This next one comes from Emily in Charlotte North Carolina

I was getting in the car with my eight-year-old daughter and when I turned on the car the screen said how soon is now yeah it said how soon is now by the Smiths was playing my daughter glanced at it and as soon as she was reading it she's getting seated she she said to herself, how soon is now? The ultimate brain teaser. It is. Yeah.

How soon is that? Do you want me to perform that song right now? This is the first- Do it Hadfield. First and only, oh yeah, boogie woogie, Morrissey is coming to sing. This is the first Smith song and only Smith song I knew for many years.

And it just goes, dugga dugga dugga dugga dugga dugga dugga dugga dugga dugga. Wah! That's good. You know that song? No. Well, now you do. Yeah.
