You knew inside and out that I was a guy who was waiting for me. Exactly. And I wasn't going to raise any questions. I wasn't going to poke holes in your there like a certain potato. There's a lot of conversations pre-show. Our guest this week, a returning guest to the podcast, she is a part of the group called the Sunday Service that performs every Sunday night at the Fox Cabaret. And she's also the co-host of a podcast

called The Weekly Breakdown. It's Caitlin Howden. Hi guys. Your Weekly Breakdown. Your Weekly Breakdown. Sorry, my apologies. It's the podcast called Your Weekly Breakdown. It's your podcast called The Weekly Breakdown.

Yeah, myself and Emily Key co-host a podcast. So it's really weird being on another podcast. What was the last name on there? Emily Key. Emily Key and I host a podcast. Okay, sorry, there was just like a, there's a, not to nitpick. It's just last time I was here, I didn't have a podcast. You did.

Okay. Oh, it's good to know us. So good to see you guys again. Want to get to know us? I do. Get to know us! Caitlin. Hi. How long have you been doing this podcast? About 53 weeks, I think.

Yeah, I guess just over a year. Again, yes. Some of the questions directed at Caitlin. Caitlin? Oh, just over a year. So I guess I forgot the last time I saw you guys. I've been doing the podcast for about a year and a half now. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. We started a podcast. Emily had an idea. We met at a clothing swap. I was going to say, where did we meet? Emily here in Vancouver? Yeah. Yeah.

A friend had a clothing swap and she was one of the people there. I had never met her before. And so she's always been kind of an acquaintance. Yeah. And then she had this idea for a podcast. I feel like I've always been kind of an acquaintance. Just in general? In general, yeah.

Also like- I have big acquaintance energy. I love that, cause guys don't do it as far as I know. I know, take us in the world of clothing swaps. Clothing swaps, yeah. Do men not, I guess you're right. You wouldn't do that.

I've never heard of a bunch of guys getting together and bringing all the clothes that they love, but maybe they don't fit them anymore, or it's not really their style. Sure. Yes. What did you get from this clothing swap? Do you get anything good? A podcast host.

Nice. I got, I think from that clothing swap, I got a pair of jeans. Okay. And it was funny, because it was a pair of jeans that someone had brought. And what happens is everyone brings their clothes, and then you kind of present them.

Oh, okay. That's fun, it's not just in a pile and you're, no, oh, this is great. But what if something's really sought after? If you present it really well and people are like, damn, I want that, and they're like, I want that. And there are certain pieces that look really good on a couple people.

So what happens is, let's say there's a top that everyone's like, I want it, I want it, I want it. Everyone who wants it puts it on and then the group decides who it looks best on. Oh, that's no fair. Because it's totally like, somebody's gonna get their feelings hurt. It's tilted toward good looking people.

No, no, because it's about how it fits on them. And also the way that they wear it when they come out of the bathroom, we all go, you don't actually love it. You just like the idea of that shirt. Yeah. So do you have to wait for every, like one article at a time being put on?

Like, everybody's going to the bathroom, or is there just some throwing on in the group? There's a lot of throwing on, like, because there's jackets, right? There's shoes. Yeah. There's some great boots. There's heels that people bought once for an event.

But you're never worn. Yeah, sure. But you have to, like, shoes. There's no messing around with sizes. No, no, it's either or. Yeah. And then we all just kind of take turns trying things on, and then no messing around with sizes. No, no, it's either or. Yeah. Yeah. And then we all just kind of take turns trying things on

and then whatever's left gets donated. Is there anything that like, everyone tries it on and it magically people of all sizes, whether they're like Blake Lively or America Ferreira, Alexis Bledel or Amber Tamblyn. These are pants that go somewhere. These there's, they, yeah, they're nomadic. Nomadic pants.

Yeah, they're sort of like a sorority of nomadic trousers. You know what's funny you say that is cause the pair of jeans that I got from this clothing swap where I met Emily, she brought these pants. Oh. And we saw these pants and I was like, well, no, no chance am I fitting in those. And she was like, you'd be surprised.

Okay. So a bunch of us put on the pants at different times. Ever do a three legged race? They were tight and we put them on and then we had people who wanted them, tried them on and I put them on. I was like, Oh my God, they fit. Nice. And I won them. And that was it.

Yeah. And you do still have these jeans? I still have those jeans only because I have three pairs of pants and I'm not interested in shopping. Three pairs of pants. Okay. three pairs of pants and I'm not interested in shopping. Three pairs of pants. Okay. I'm currently working with three. I've got a three pant rotation.

Dave has tons of pants. He's got jeans for days. Yeah, I've got a lot of pants. But you also have jeans, you have khakis. You probably have some sort of flex pant. I got plenty of flex pants. Yeah. I don't know what that means.

You know, for dinner and daytime. Oh, sure. Yeah. It. I don't know what that means. You know for dinner and daytime Oh sure. Yeah, I was something you can go from the office to evening. Yeah Yeah, no I got a lot of pants so many so much so that I have like well I gotta put away my winter pants and take out my summer and spring pants. Oh, you've got summer pants. Of course What are your summer pants? Well, there's this year. There you go. Well, it's We weird because I wear shorts every day in the summer, but it's generally a lighter, you know, a chino. All cotton blend.

How can we all cotton and blend? Oh, I don't know. That's a good call. I don't know anything about cotton. I don't know anything about pants. Only about the old testament. And we don't, you know, mix our. Only on three. But you know about the Old Testament and we don't mix our. Wine and water.

So Dave, if you know that you're gonna be primarily shorts this summer, how much pant real estate have you given your closet? All of it. Are you serious? You're operating as though you're gonna wear as many pants as you would in winter time? Yeah.

What would you say, like ballpark, how many pairs of pants are we talking about? I know you have a lot of jeans. Yeah. I think we're probably in the 30 to 40 range. Really? Yeah. Wow.

All seasons combined, I'm hoping. Well here's the thing, I don't throw away old pants, so I have more, there's some that will never make it back into the closet. This is because men don't swap. It is. It's good men don't do these swaps. There's some that I keep under my bed in storage that are just, wow, is this the year?

No. I'm gonna get a grant and film you guys doing a clothing swap with the rest of the Sunday service. That sounds like it. I'm gonna somehow find money for this. But Graham only has the three pairs of pants, so how does it? He needs more.

I mean, but I don't have to bring a pair of pants to get a pair of pants. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I just bring whatever I have. You bring whatever you have, whatever you're like, I'm over it. I got stuff that I like that I will not ever wear again. There you go. This is why I need to go to a clothing store.

Our bodies are changing. Boy are they ever. And so is our taste. That's the thing is mine is, I weigh, okay. You have the same body you did 25 years ago. I do have the same, I have like a window of weight that I like to stay in and I am in that window of weight. But my body, like my waist has moved.

Like the- Up or down? Yeah, the way pants fit is different, even though I haven't gained or lost anyway. For those listening- And you got that apple bottom. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Graham and Dave are both a tight 110 with Apple bottoms.

So you've met at this clothing exchange. Kilograms. Yes. And then we started a podcast and it's called Your Weekly Breakdown. It's a smart and silly podcast about kind of what's happening. Let me guess.

You're silly? No, sometimes the topics are silly. Oh, okay. Yeah. And most recently, we've been flirting online with Katie Couric. I know that. Really? Yeah. Tell me all about this. We mentioned her on a podcast, how much we admire her, and she commented on one of our videos. how much we admire her and she commented on one of our videos and she basically did you mention her in the video in a video that she got tagged and then she saw it yeah okay I actually I don't know if she was tagged okay it was a video

Google alert yeah and she said well when am I gonna be a guest on your podcast whoa and you were like never we were Oh my God, is she flirting with us? Is Katie Kerr flirting with us? And then we realized, you know, do we send her a DM, which felt really inappropriate to send such an established journalist a DM? I don't know. It just felt weird. I made a face. I know you made a face. She reached out to you. Yeah. And you don't have her phone number. Does she have an agent? Well, what we did was we sent a message just saying, do you have an assistant we could talk to?

We'd love to have you on the podcast. Like I do it all myself. No, she had nothing. Okay. So now you're- She's got her own domain. You know what I mean? Wheels are in motion though, right?

Yes, I think wheels are in motion, yeah. That's amazing. Was she, did she host Dateline? Or was she a Today Show? Today Show. Today Show, she did not do, yeah, she wasn't Night Time. No, Dateline, I'm thinking of Jane Pauly and Stone Phillips. And did Kitty Couric, was she, she had cancer at one point?

I remember. Her husband passed away of cancer. Oh, way to go, Graham. No, she, like somebody from the Today Show had a colonoscopy on the show. I do think that was her. I think that was her. Yes.

Yeah. And it was wild, like, because they were like, this is the first time they've done this on television. I was like, yep. First time last time. Apparently these people don't have TLC. It used to just be that. Yeah, they used to do surgeries, colonoscopies.

Do you guys ever get a little bit miffed at how many people are doing podcasts now, considering you've been doing it for what, 15, 20 years? 17. 17. Exactly. No, I... I'm only mad at Mark Maron's and his is gonna keep going forever.

Oh, wait! No, we've seen them all come, we've seen them all go. We love seeing them go. Yeah, with those Apple books. We just got 25,000 downloads this week. So you do the video and the audio is recorded? In studio. In studio.

Yeah. Separately? You don't do the video and then audio on top. Well, no, we do the video and then we dub it. We do the video first and then we dub it with our podcast. Emily does everything. Yeah? She does all the social media, she does all the editing, she does everything.

All the clips. I just have to show up. And you... I know, sorry guys. Y'all need an Emily. I know. Well, we have one. Yeah.

Oh, it's pronounced Dave. Yeah. What are you doing? You think Graham's doing stuff? I'm not doing stuff. I'm the Graham. I'm the Caitlin. Yeah. Oh, it's pronounced Dave. Is that Dave? Yeah. What are you doing? You think Graham's doing stuff? I'm not doing stuff. I'm the Graham. I'm the Caitlin. Yeah.

Oh, this rocks. All right. You guys need an Evelyn. Yeah. I mean, we will never be on video. That is my promise. I love that. Thanks.

You love not being on video. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. There's times where you see the video and I think to myself, I forgot we were filming. I just showed up thinking we were doing a podcast. I forgot because I always wear shirts that really blend into my neck and the background.

Like a real beige. Yeah. Which is not great for video content. It's because of the clothing swap. You went to an all blend in clothing swap. Yeah, I went to the Kim Kardashian's clothing swap. You said the invitation for the clothing swap was, your skin tones must be this beige. Is that right?

Instead of a color swatch. Instead of a clothing swap, it's a color swatch? No. Never mind. Edit that out. Edit that out. Yeah, yeah. If only I knew the editor of this show.

We've got to get Emily over here. And then I've listened to it, but I haven't watched it. I haven't watched the video part of it. Is there any added value in the video? Right now the video's just for clips. It's just for, it's just what Emily puts online for sharing, to get eyes on the podcast. Yeah, you gotta get eyes on the merchandise. Now you cried recently, a big crying breakdown on the show?

I lost my shit. What happened? Oh my God, okay. What happened, Kailin? So here's the thing. Now, yeah, okay, you're the- Okay, so you saw a video of me crying online. Uh-huh.

Okay, so I was crying online. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you were crying on Maine. I was crying on the Maine, and we were recording a podcast, and I was a little bit tired, and maybe just the topics we were talking about that week We're pretty heavy. You know, it wasn't a fun news with all in Oscar piece Yeah, yeah that in war perks and what yeah, it just also like we're talking about things that are in the news It's a way of ideally finding out what's going on in the world

In a kind of digestible way with a primarily I'd say female focus But you don't ever do a story like this guy's tortoise just passed his 125th birthday. You don't do like a fun light story. These are real stories you're doing. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For the, for the listener, this is real stuff there. Real stuff. I know it's, I'm a comedian, but this is not a comedy plot. It's not,

it's not silly in that way. Emily's no nonsense. She's very smart and serious. Because I want to hear the issues. No, Emily's no nonsense. She's very smart and serious. I wanna hear the issues. I read 30 books this week. Yeah, she has some great book recommendations. But we were talking about summer plans. And she was telling me about how-

Are you gonna cry now? This summer, no, I'm okay. No, I'm fine today. No, this summer she's gonna go to her home, which is on a farm on the East Coast. She's not gonna have a cell phone. They're gonna wake up every day and swim. It's gonna be so chill.

And she was just describing to me the pace of life that she experiences when living up in the East Coast with her family. And I just started crying. Oh. And she looked at me, she's like, are you crying? And I was like, I'm okay, I'm just a little,

I don't know, it really hit me. And something looked at me, she's like, are you crying? And I was like, I'm okay, I'm just a little, I don't know, it really hit me. And something about it unlocked something and I just started bawling. Huh. And she was like, what's wrong? And I said, I don't know, sometimes I'm just a little, I'm feeling a little frayed is what it was. And something really beautiful caught me off guard

and knocked me into my feelings. And I was really worried about putting it online Emily showed me the clip. She's like I want to put this online. What do you think? And I was like, I mean sure whatever Anything for the clicks? You need to get 25,000 downloads or I quit. It's real like I did cry and you know, it is edited a little bit out of order I'll say that like I don't start bawling like the video says, you know I do start with a tender weep and then she goes,

oh my God. And then I'm like, oh my God, I'm crying. But the amount of people who reached out to me when they saw that clip that they were like, yeah, same. Really? Oh, I feel that. I'm feeling that.

I'm just a little bit frayed. I'm just a little bit. You know what's a little bit frayed? What? My jeans. Well then put them in a different bucket, Dave. No, of course they're in the freight bucket. They're in the freight bucket, good.

It was surprising how many people. Did they, they cried also thinking about this thing or just I have to start crying? Just that feeling of being like, ooh, I could. Did you get a lot of messages that were same girl, girl same. Yes. I did.

I did. I got a lot of messages, mostly from women, saying like, absolutely, I'm overwhelmed. Yeah. Yeah. But like, you're doing a lot of stuff. You're filming a television show? I was. Yeah, I wrapped yesterday. But that's like heavy duty stuff.

You're shooting for 12 hours a day, 16 hours a day. A couple hours out of town. Couple hours out of town, yeah. We're really out of zone, as they say. Graham, when was the last time you cried? Like authentically? Yeah. Honestly, it's been years and years and years.

Not a big cry. What about if I yanked on your pubes? I just laugh, because that's what I like. Dave, you dirty dog. Dave, have you cried recently? Every day. No. No, I do, I mean every movie I see.

Uh-huh, yeah. Do you feel like you used the movie a little bit? Are you using it? Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah, you're gonna get me there, F1. Did you see F1? I saw F1. Nice.

In IMAX. And did you cry because it was so beautiful? I don't think I cried at F1, but I do cry at any movie about like, anyone being treated unfairly. Yeah. Any movie about like parents. I watched, my kids were watching them.

He's a parent. Yeah. Is he gonna milk them? I don't know if he's gonna milk him. Dave Silde, I'm gonna watch the rest of the movie. My kids were rewatching the musical Matilda. Uh-huh. And I was like, I saw it in the theater. I saw it, they watched it many times.

I cry pretty much every time, or at least like get there, almost there. Yeah, misty. Yeah, and I was like, no, not again. Shit, what's happening? My kids were like, girl, same. My kids don't get it at all. What, do they get emotional?

Parts of the movie that you don't get emotional at though? They get emotional anytime they're not watching the movie. Right, when they want ice cream. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I am a crier though, I should say that. Like I'm quick to cry. But do you ever like a question for both of you,

do you feel better after you cry or do you feel like this has taken energy out of you? No, I don't feel like energy taken both of you, do you feel better after you cry? Or do you feel like this is taking energy out of you? No, I don't feel like I have energy taken out of me, but it is like, it doesn't solve whatever. It's like, it's not a complete release. Yeah. No, it's like a sneeze. Where you're like, I guess I feel better afterwards.

Yeah. I didn't know I had to sneeze. For me, it's like an orgasm. Go on. It's mysterious. It happens really quick. And I'm crying. So like you said you're a crier.

What are the triggers? Movies, television shows? Animals. Any kind of animal? Any kind of animal, especially an animal like in distress. I had to retrain my algorithm on Instagram to just give me nice things. Also, did you know when,

did you know everyone's for you page is different? Yeah. Yeah. The you part? Yeah, but I thought that was like, like, just a saying. And that's really cool. Do you remember when the internet kind of changed to being like algorithmic

a base instead of everyone getting the same ads and people would be like, Hey, what is Facebook showing these butt plug ads? I had someone out themselves to me because they're like, man, I got it. My Instagram is like all like tits and like porn girls. And I was like, it's cause you watch porn. And it's cause when they come up, you click on them. Yeah. Getting another ad for tits. Oh man. Oh God.

Well, you know what? I like to keep up with the news. What's new in tits? My algorithm this morning was people singing frozen, but marching in a parade. Oh yeah. That got me. That got you. Oh yeah. That got me. That got you?

Oh yeah. Not frozen. Wicked, sorry, wicked. Oh, sure, yeah. Defying gravity. Classic. Yeah, the Pride Month. Did you see that movie in the theater?

Yes, of course. Did you cry? Yes. More than once? Yes, oh yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. Oh no, Dave. Oh yeah.

I was just about to, the thing that got me the entire movie that I cried the whole thing through was the Mr. Oh yeah. I was just about to, the thing that got me the entire movie that I cried the whole thing through was the Mr. Rogers documentary. Yeah, that was it. I was absolutely. I'm not ready to watch that. You'll cry.

Oh, you'll cry a lot. And that's why I know I'm not ready. Yeah. I have to, I'm not in that place to watch that. It's gotta be daytime. Yeah. And I have to have like maybe worked out right before. So I already have like my good hormones are up.

We can get you to that place pretty soon. It's daytime every day. Yeah, I got this podcast I gotta work on. Well, you don't really do much work on it, I hear. No, I hear, I'm here. I'm here, I gotta do this. What, yeah, I saw it in the daytime. I saw it in a theater.

You did? And whacked. I don't know if everyone else was weeping. Yeah, I saw it in a theater. You did? And whacked. I don't know if everyone else was weeping. Yeah, I can see it. I can see from like watching it was great. And, but yeah, I just don't, I don't know. Maybe I'm a part robot and I don't know about it, maybe. Cause I'm the one who seems like more of a robot.

Yeah, you, of the two of us, you think I would be the big crier. No. No? No, but let's grow back. I would you of the two of us, you think I would be the big crier? No, no, but I would. I would if I had to guess, I would say Graham is the crier and Dave is the puncher. But in reality, Graham is the puncher and Dave's the crier. Yeah. And that's how it goes. And somehow we make it work. You know, what makes me punch is I watch a lot of punching movies.

I've watched marriage stories. Oh, punch in my glove. Something that I do get clip wise, not a product, but my algorithm thinks, and they're right, that people punching those punching bag machines. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man, I cannot get enough of those. That's your algorithm.

Yeah. It knows I like it, and I watch them all the way through every time. I've never seen one in real life. I've only seen them on video. Oh, I saw one when I was first dating Sally. There was one at my wife's side. When did this happen? Two years ago.

The there was one of those, a punching bag thing, and I put in a couple of bucks for it to go, and then I started just tapping it very lightly. And there was a guy was like, no, you got to punch I was like no but like this like this and I kept missing it He's like come on man. You're a punch wind up a punch it Sally thought it was so funny I sealed the deal. What is it you get and you get a score out of a thousand? Yeah a thousand I you get I think like the high high scores like nine nine hundred is huge Yeah, but there's a lot of them where somebody winds up and they miss it completely And they they're drunk you can tell they're drunk. Yeah. Yeah

And they would have gotten nine hundred had they hit the the bag. Oh, yeah, they're all wound up Oh, yeah, yeah putting their entire body weight through it and then John Cena There was one of him doing it and he like fake punch. And he's like, I haven't punched anybody for 20 years because it's, you know, it's not a fake. So he did like a full like fake punch, but then pulled like pulled back. He pulled his punch. Yeah.

But it looked like he was punching. It's really good that John Cena, you know, going to retire from wrestling and that's wrestling's loss. You know, shouldn't he have 10 years ago? How long has he been in movies? The Rock still goes down to wrestle. That seems unnecessary. That feels like you don't need to do that, The Rock.

Yeah, but The Rock, he likes to go on and on. If only he would tell us his real name. But that's kind of like when celebrities do water commercials. You're like, leave that for us. Leave that for bullshit actors. What kind of commercials? Like water. Water.

Yeah. You know, like Jennifer Aniston does Smart Water. Oh, sure. And like Brad Pitt does Nescafe and George Clooney and- George Clooney does Nescafe. Does Nescafe. That's right. Brad Pitt did F1. Brad Pitt, we were talking about clothes not fitting well. Did you see the pictures of Brad Pitt wearing a weird suit a couple weeks ago

and it was like big and boxy and ill-fitting? No. Let me pull this up. How do I Google this? Was it Ken? Could have been, no, it's not these things. Is he wearing a sheer dress because they're not allowed to do that anymore. Can't be nude on the carpet.

Ain't that something, hey? Yeah. Ain't that something? That's something we talked about in the podcast. It was this. Oh, that's bad. Yeah. Oh, that's bad. It's not a suit. It's a giant jeans and velvet jacket. It's giving Brittany and Justin early 2000s. Yeah, when Justin was when they were in the jean outfit. Yeah, he is like famously, like anything that's like hard to wear, like a bucket hat or like a goatee,

like he looks great in everything. He does look great in everything. This is the first time I've seen him look bad. Yeah. In those weird like Frankenstein shoes. Square toe shoes, a pinstripe shirt underneath. And they're kind of boot cut jeans, aren't they, a little bit?

Yeah, that's a wide leg, babe. Yeah, well, maybe, you know, maybe this time bit, or? Yeah, that's a wide leg, babe. Yeah. Well, maybe this time, a month from now, we'll all be wearing that suit because- We are such trendy people. People. Yep. What do you think about this?

What sort of people? People. The no naked dresses on the red carpet. That's right. It's insane. So this year, Cannes made a thing where they're like, you can't show your nipples, okay? Everybody?

Or just, who do you think? Which is weird, because they do a thing where they do like a, every year the dog who's in the, like the best dog performer gets a trophy. And a belly rub. And, but then they show their, they show their belly, that's what I'm talking about. It's gonna be all pasties this year.

Yeah, oh wait, who was the guy that was canceled? Graham. No. He was on the political show. Kevin Spacey. They also gave him a lifetime achievement award this year at Cannes. But they told women they can't show their nipples. Oh, OK.

OK, thanks, Cannes. Really, they gave Kevin Spacey an award for something? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Wow, what the hell? I know. I thought we were done with him. As I thought. No, but not in France. I am fancy to like, what's his name? Uh, the director.

Jorah de Berdier. Oh yeah, Jorah de Berdier. Roman Polanski. Roman Polanski. Yeah. So, Ken can suck it and I'm not going there. Okay. You're turning down the invitation. Yeah. So, Ken? You're turning down the invitation. So can, no. Is that French? Yeah. Okay. You couldn't tell because it's the same in English. Well, it's spelled differently.

Yeah, but that N is quiet. How's the French? Do you keep up with your French? Yes, I'm not French. But I've been practicing my French for a long time. So it's a bit rusty, my French. It's become more of a party trick. What's rusty? Rouiller?

Rouiller? It's good! Well done, Dave. I had to remotely produce a podcast in Paris, and the staff there, I had to email them in French, and set up the studio, and then the day there, like I had to like email them in French and like set up the studio and and then the day of I was like okay practicing all the things I would have to say and then the guy spoke English and it was fun. I wish I had more practice of French but it's just not there. Could you do a voiceover you know your Canada announcement in French? No I can do back when I

was a flight attendant and I would I could still do my mesdames and messieurs. Porter, vous souhaite la bienvenue à Montréal. S'il vous plaît, restez ici lorsque l'avion a... And then I forget. That's great! But I can do that kind of thing, if I have a script. Okay, yeah. But I'm not, it's not good enough.

We've got a guy working on a script. Yeah, we've got David Mamet working on a new French. Oh, I don't do theater anymore. I'm not really doing theater anymore. No, it's for, he's doing it for... Oh, he's got a YouTube channel. Oh, I don't do theater anymore. I'm not really doing theater anymore. No, he's doing it for- Oh, he's got a YouTube channel? No, it's for Air Canada.

How fabulous. I love that. That would be great if the safety video was written by David Mamet. Well, different airlines are trying to be funny now, right, with their safety videos to keep people's attention. The American airlines especially, they're like, look how silly we could be. The Canada one is very earnest, the Air Canada one. It's too earnest. Yeah, you know, you're in all these different provinces.

The American ones are so funny, they have earnest. He's the pilot. He's trying to put on a mask. Oh, I, years ago, I did like a GoFundMe for a documentary about earnest. I thought it would never come out. It's just come out this past week. They've finished it.

You, how did you hear about it? I'm on the Ernest chat. So long as it's on our slash Ernest. And they were crowdfunding for a doc. Yeah. Amazing, how much did you give cash wise? Probably, I think like 50 bucks. Wow.

But they kept sending emails and I was like, this just sounds like it's never gonna get done and we're kind of just working on that. Yeah. They fucking did it. I love that. Wow. But they kept sending emails and I was like, this just sounds like it's never gonna get done and we're kind of just working on that. Yeah. They fucking did it. I love that. Yeah. When is it gonna come out?

I don't know, but the trailer's great. And he's, you know the whole story of him? No. He was a guy that would appear in commercials, regional commercials, as a character for like a lumber yard or like a car dealership or whatever. And he would be for all the different states. He would do these ads before it was like, he never did a national ad.

He would like do an ad for Kentucky business, do an ad for an Alabama business. And then- Like separate ones. Yeah. And then he became so well known that they're like, put this guy in a movie. Really? Yeah. Because everybody went nuts for him. They thought it was so funny. Was he like a groundling or a,

I don't think. An improv guy. An ass cat. I think he was an actor guy. I think he was like an actor, serious play kind of guy. And he like, yeah. That's awesome. Yeah, it's like the whole thing, that same format where he's talking right to the camera.

Yeah. That's what they did for all the ads in the movie. They're like, well, let's just do that. Let's do, you know, it broke. Don't fix it. So. Absolutely. Yeah.

So that's so cool. I know it's the first GoFundMe have been a part of that actually finished the thing. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for the funding. We didn't finish. Kind of ran out of steam. But we all got Vespas, so that rocks.

I do like it when they, well, no, I don't like it. Just take my money and don't give me any updates. I don't want an update. No, we're working on, we're in post right now. I don't care, man. But that's why I thought I was like, oh, we're, I was like, this is never going to get done. So many documentaries get started every year

that never get finished. Yeah. Cause it's probably a really big pain in the ass to make a documentary. Like, I don't care, just take my money really big pain in the ass to make a documentary. Like I don't care, just take my money, Zach Braff. Don't make the movie. I don't care.

Did he ever make that movie? I guess so. Did you give Zach Braff money? No. Good. I didn't give Zach Braff money. I didn't give Veronica Mars money. What was Veronica Mars?

We're making more Veronica Marses. God. Was the Veronica Mars movie at Kickstarter. What is Veronica Mars? She a detective? So she was a child detective. She's sort of a Nancy Drew. Okay. Okay. And, and the she's grown up and then she's she the mother of a new. I don't know. I don't know what they did with the movie.

I don't even know what they did with their TV show. I tried watching it once. Can't find it. No, I watched. I watched some. I was going to say there's a problem. I tried watching it, but I couldn't get my TV to turn on. So I gave up. I gave him 50 bucks. They'll fix it. I sent him away for TVPCR repair, of course. Go funding this kid to take a TV repair course.

Have you ever donated to a GoFundMe or anything? All the time. Yeah? Yeah. Which one is the one that you wish? Oh, I do all the medical ones. I always do, especially if it's someone that we know. Oh, if it's somebody ill, yes.

Yeah. I love doing those ones, it's because it's so easy, right? Yeah. You're like anonymous, shh, shh, $25, ta ta ta ta ta. Yeah, anonymous, put your name on it. No, because I'm only giving $25. Now, if we're giving $100, you better believe it's A, Caitlin Howden.

It's on the top of the list. The A, oh yeah, Anastasia. Just so I'm first in the phone book. Oh, okay. Yeah, I do like doing that, but I'll also get a little bit dangerous with it because I've been known to like have a few sips and then start donating.

Yeah, it was like a... You're like, well, why not? I can have wine. Why can't they make a movie? Ha ha, I can have wine, they can make a movie. I can have wine and they can make a movie, that's nice. Let's get this guy a car. Seems like this young man in Louisiana needs a car.

Yeah, the word. I'm all over the map, Graham. I'm all over the map. The weird ones are when it's like, you see about it on social media, you don't know these people. Don't know them. But you follow the person who has already donated

and is like, hey, this person really needs your help Yeah, okay at a certain point. I had to just be like I can't save every dog. Yeah, but like I will always give to I'm it's so bad. I know if anybody's sick. That's my I've always donated if somebody's sick but it was like some I remember there's one that somebody's parent had been like But it was like some, I remember there's one that somebody's parent had been like defrauded for a bunch of money. And I was like, that doesn't seem like a go fund me issue. But I guess if they lost a lot of money. Although is this are you defrauding me now?

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's a circle of defrauding. There's also it's very easy to set up for fraud. Sure. Yeah. That's why it is. It's dangerous when I start donating

to a random person in Louisiana versus like, you know, someone in Toronto who's like, help T, or not actually Tiki was the dog that I gave a lot of money to. What happened to Tiki? Tiki was a rescue dog. Oh shit. He's in New York.

He's in New York? He's okay. Oh, that's good. Yeah, he's okay. Was he in New York at the time or he moved to New York? He needed some money to get out. He had to get out of the city. He was in a little sea of money.

Yeah, his roommate was being a real jerk and he had to get out of there. He was trying to get out of a polycule. I just like that word and I still don't know what it means, polycule. It's like a polyamorous arrangement for like a relationship. Polycule.

Yeah. It's the name of the group of people Amorous group would be a poly cute right it's a way of saying polyamorous group I feel bad that we are talking so stupidly about it Well, I've never before yeah, and we're stupid yeah A group of people connected through romantic and or sexual relationships. Yeah. What happened to being stupid? A group of people connected through romantic and or sexual relationships. For me, it's and.

Often with a polyamorous context. Okay. I'm a big and. Yeah, yes and. I had a friend that was in one, and her takeaway from it was a lot of scheduling. Lot of scheduling. Oh, that sounds like the worst part of it. The Google image searches for

Polycule are either this sort of like connecting dots or a bunch of people holding a woman's head or a sort of like... It looks like sort of how you would do a map of like broken social...

Yes, this person is also in stars and this person's in metrics. I've seen that in Vanity Fair. You know what I mean? That thing where it's like the little drawings of people's heads. The matrix of whatever. Yeah. High brow, low brow. Yeah, I don't...

The fact that it's the organizing and the scheduling that is the downside. Yeah. Can you imagine? Well, of course, that would be the downside. I bet you there's an app. Some people love it. They love organizing. I wonder if they have an app for for polycules where it's like you put in all the members

and then you rank them from hottest to nottest. Yeah. And then you like figure out schedules that way. It's kind of like split wise. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Like my kids have played sports and I play sports and there are, I feel like there's a lot of the like

team apps that would be work for this. Yeah. Oh yeah. A friend of mine was telling me she's on one of those conversation message boards. There's like a special app, right? It's something like We Team or something like that. Is this free and it bells?

That sounds real. Okay. It's an app for like parents and their kids and like sports organizing the team. Sure. And one of the parents wrote in the group message being like, actually, this is kind of a call back to what we were talking about before. She said, I think we should not be on this app. It is disgusting the ads that I'm seeing. It is not appropriate for children. And it is not okay. And this is like, I'm on my husband's phone and it is not okay.

And this is like, I'm on my husband's phone and it's just advertising, just tits. Big booty queen. Cause I was reminded of that story because I was thinking about my overheards for the episode. I'm not using that one, obviously. But I just thought that was a good way of also being like, but messaging a bunch of parents too that are all on the hockey team, you're going to see them with the soccer team. It's embarrassing.

It's very embarrassing. Yeah, it's yeah. If anybody out there is wondering the ads you get because of the other things you see, it's because of you. It's for you. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, on a YouTube video, everybody seeing the ad for the new Grand Theft Auto. That's that's across the board. We can all talk about how much we hate that. That was bought. Yeah, that was bought and you have to watch it. That's on purpose. Cause I'm not getting YouTube premium.

No way. Nah. Yeah, I'm getting a lot of tenna. Tenna pads? Tenna, like, yeah, undergarments. Oh, sure. Like, you know, absorbent undergarment. Oh yeah, it's the underwear, period underwear.

Yeah, or- Or piss underwear. Or leaky, leaky- Or piss underwear. Piss or period. Leaky guy. I'm getting a lot of those just on our general family YouTube that we, no one logs into.

Do you think they're for you? I think they're the general, unless someone is, well, my kids have been searching piss pants. You could do worse. I think they're the general, unless someone is, well, my kids have been searching piss pants. Busy pants. That's a new cartoon. No, that's a cool cartoon now. It would be.

Yeah. There was a show, too hot to handle. There was an episode where they were talking about, how has anybody ever had something, somebody say something negative about your vagina. And then, you know, one woman said, she said like one thing and then this other woman just started listing off things to the point where it was like, oh no, you're, that's not a common thing is that you have a bunch of them. You're not experiencing misogyny. My doctor keeps saying things like,

that's exactly what it was. Everybody else just had one thing and she had like six things. And I was like, oh, we were just, that's. Then a plastic dinosaur came out of my butt. That's not right. Anyways, Dave, what's going on with you, my friend? Well, I just did one of my...

Do you ever do something and it unlocks a bit of nostalgia? Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. I think I just unlocked my favorite summer activity. Oh, here we go. I had just taken my... This afternoon, I took my kids to the park and I'm like, it's taken a long time,

but they're now at an age where I can just, they can run off and play on the playground and I don't have to do anything. Yeah. And so I was lying down and I put my baseball cap over my face. Classic. And then I started looking through the little holes

in the baseball cap and I was like transported back to my face. And then I started looking through the little holes in the baseball cap and I was like transported back to my childhood. That is amazing. I remember that exactly. You would like look at the little holes, the air holes in the cap. Yeah.

Wow. And that is so long. Also like just at tipping your cap to have a nap, the best, a nap the best I mean the best things of summer. Yeah, I can't nap in public. I can and it's crazy You can fall asleep around strangers. I can fall asleep wherever I want Like it wasn't I can fall asleep anywhere it's I can fall asleep wherever I want You can't be like go to sleep he's not gonna do it. It's not narcolepsy. Yeah, it's wherever I want. Yeah, wherever I want. Yeah, that's powerful. So you can't be like, go to sleep.

He's not gonna do it. No, it's not narcolepsy. Yeah, it's what I want. It's a choice, yeah. Yeah, I almost fell asleep on the plane that are coming in to Vancouver from Salt Spring. That's only a 15 minute flight. Graham! Yeah?

Get your iron tested. Oh, no, I'm great. If anything, I have to donate some of my iron. I have too much iron. It's making you sleep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He goes pee and you hear a clanging in the toilet. Well, that's because he's making a wish.

So did you put your feet in the pool at all? No, I didn't. Oh. But you would have, if your kids were smaller, I guess, you'd be in the park. Well, no, the pool, we just went to the pool that has like a little waiting pool like that So I didn't know I didn't I just didn't I don't have an answer for you. It's not easy line It's not that hot today. No, no, but it's also city

Like when is the last time you just had time to just sit and stare at clouds? Yeah, I mean you do I I fall asleep though. Oh my God, Katelyn, that's so beautiful. Oh my God, no, don't do it. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Okay, let me get the cameras. We gotta get the cameras out. This is gonna go viral, y'all. For the clips.

So that's one thing I did. The other thing, of course, well, I saw F1. Okay, this is Brad Pitt car movie? Brad Pitt versus the cars. Okay. Versus Lightning Mc car movie. Brad Pitt versus the cars. Okay. Versus Lightning McQueen. I was going to say the cars, okay. Versus Rick.

Okay. So yeah, it's, I don't know. What do you know about cars? Which one is F1? F1 is open wheeled racing. So it's the long car. It's not like drag racing. No I know but it's...

Drag racing funny cars. That's what I'm thinking of is funny cars. I know city cars. I can tell you if it's a Honda, I can tell you if it's a Nissan, I can tell you the make and the model. You'd be a great witness. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's getting harder though. It was a 1998 Toyota Camry. I can tell them they don't make those sedans like that anymore There was a few years maybe just one year in the mid-2000s. I was behind one of these cars yesterday This is why I thought of it was the Toyota Camry came in like light green. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah And then Toyota remembered we're a car company. Yeah, we Let's get serious. We're not a soap company. Yeah, this isn't a popsicles. But F1 is the one where they go. Oh yeah, okay.

But it's not, what's the other one, NASCAR? NASCAR, it's not NASCAR. What does NASCAR do? There we go. Thank you. NASCAR, they go in circles. Well, no, no, that doesn't make sense because the first time you made made was a circle sound.

No, I was trying to do a car going past you so fast. Okay. And then you don't see it again for a while and then it comes past you. So where do the cars go? Through a city? Sometimes, sometimes they do. Yeah, because they did in Vegas, right?

They do in Vegas, they do Monaco and then they'll do a racetrack, Monza. Man, imagine trying to get across that street, still waiting for the light. Did you ever watch the, I feel like a few years ago, there was a Netflix documentary show about F1 and then people got into it. I tried.

Yeah. Didn't care. Yeah, no, I made it a couple of years and then they really did a good time. They picked a good time to start it because there was one guy, Lewis Hamilton, one every week. Right. Then he was overtaken by Max Verstappen.

Then Max Verstappen won every week and it got boring again. I stopped watching. But then they made this movie and I was like, well, I'd like to see a thing on IMAX. Yeah, yeah. And it did. And it was, one thing I'll say is it was very international. Like I heard so many languages around me

as I was waiting for the movie to start. Oh, like the movie itself wasn't a multilingual, but the audience was. No, the movie itself is in English. Although you do, you know, have your Bardem's in it and he's speaking Spanish a little bit. You can do whatever he wants then. Hell yeah. I've never been in it.

Right? And it's about Brad Pitt is a guy who is like, used to be a race car driver, F1 race car driver. And then he got in an accident and now he races. Was the accident himself? Was it his fault, the accident? I don't remember. Okay. And then he got in an accident and now he races. Was the accident himself? Was it his fault, the accident? I don't remember. Okay.

This wasn't like a, I need to get one last kick of the can, I fucked up. This was when he was young, he got in an accident. Okay. It wasn't like he was drinking, he lost his wife and kids. In an F1 car. He shouldn't have been in it. And then he's out of F1 and then he's like for the last 30 years, he's been racing any other anything he can do.

He'll like do he wants to do the Baja race, which is in Mexico, I guess, on like sand dunes. And he's been racing in the way every any opportunity he can to race. He lives in a van and he goes from place to place racing and whatever. And then his old buddy, heavier, Bar-Dam, is like, you gotta get back in F1. Everyone needs you.

Everyone needs you. Yeah, we need a guy like you in F1. And then it's stupid. I'm really tempted to get into F1 just so that like, so my husband loves hockey and he will find an excuse sometimes to be like, I'm gonna go watch the Oilers play in Vegas. And I'm like, oh, okay.

You're like, don't you own a sports bar? You can watch it there. Yeah, exactly. Or he went to New York this year to watch three Oilers games. Oh, really? They were playing all the New Yorkish teams. Does he know that they play out of Edmonton as well?

Yeah, have you been to Edmonton? Ah, that's true, he got me. Yeah, and I've decided I'm gonna get into F1 so that I can be like, well, I gotta go to Monaco. There's a big race. You know, we all love sports in this family and we've all made sacrifices for sports. Gotta go to the season ender in Azerbaijan.

I gotta go to, I gotta go to, where'd you say it was? In Mexico? The Baja? Well, Baja. Oh, Peninsula, I gotta go to the Peninsula, you know what I mean? Well, that's not F1. That's the other racing He's oh, I'm gonna go see the qualifiers. Yeah, you go see the qualifiers. Is he sleeping in our

Is he like poor is he dead? Is he like down on his luck in this movie? He's got his luck I don't I guess he's poor. He's just like not tied down, right? Yeah, he's unmoored, but it's whatever. It's silly Yeah, is it is it possible that someone could just suddenly be good at f1 racing? Not you or I yeah, the guy's been racing for Brad Pitt's character like well Yeah, it wasn't too much of a stretch that he could know cuz he had done it before and then he never stopped racing I mean, I maybe it's a stretch. Yeah You knew like people do get too old for it. Yeah, Danny Glover's tool for I had to get a bigger car Cuz I can't get out of small cars anymore. You know what I mean? My back my knees. Yeah. Oh man

You're telling me what was your smaller car? They had to wait a previous Really hard to get out of no, what do you have illegal SUV? Oh cool? Yeah, you step up into it Yeah, you gotta get out east when you get out you just kind of fall out. Yeah Yeah, so you're not intimidated on the highways. You got an SUV. I'm terrified on the highways Yeah, even an SUV. Can I tell you guys a driving story? Yes, please So Brad Pitt Brad Pitt's next to me No, I was driving to work one day and I like to treat myself to you know, a little coffee this morning I went to Starbucks and got a iced coffee and some egg bites. Oh, and you need to go out to, is this going out to the...

I'm going to set, yeah. So it's like an hour and a half away. Remind us the name of the... Well, it's the season two of the Chicken Sisters. Chicken Sisters! Yes. We just, we haven't set it yet. That's right.

We were shooting season two of Chicken Sisters coming out August 10th on Hallmark and the W network here in Canada. Love it. And so I'm driving out to work out in Aldergrove, which is yeah like an hour and a half away. So I make myself a little, I have a little breakfast. You like those egg bites? I don't actually. I don't either but they're the only thing I can have. But I needed to eat something. I knew I was gonna be in the car for a while. So I eat the egg bites. Now what do you got the pepper? I'm doing the egg white.

I'm doing the egg white and the roasted red pepper. Roasted red pepper, yeah. So I'm eating the egg bites and I merge onto the highway and people drive too fast on the highway. Everyone's going too fast, especially for traffic. How fast should they be going? A little over the speed limit. Just a little bit. There's no need for swerving. I'm a big believer in 10 over the speed limit. Me too. Honestly, Dave, me too. But this was- Keep me in the right lane. Yeah.

I was in the right lane in this story because it was really traffic-y. So I'm not going more than 20 kilometers an hour. That is very traffic-y. Yeah. And I'm in my brand new car, right? We just got an electric car. Nice. It's very fun. And I'm driving to work and I realize that these egg bites are not sitting well. Oh no. And I'm wearing kind of like a moomoo type style dress.

Oh yeah, electric car moomoo. It's totally, you can shit in that. One goes with the other. Well no, I'm gonna throw up. Oh no. I'm gonna throw up like it's happening now. Not when I can pull over, not, it's happening now. Oh no.

And I look around me in the car, it's a brand new car. I can't barf in a brand new car. I look at what I'm wearing, it's a smock. It's gonna go right through, right? To my right is my beautiful bag. It's this like saddle leather bag. I've had it for years. I'm not barfing in that.

The only thing left is my Doctors Without Borders tote. Oh no, but you love Doctors Without Borders. I love Doctors Without Borders. I'm sorry, I'm saying it in French. So, les docteurs sans... Médecins sans frontières. Médecins sans frontières. Yeah.

Okay. The French organization. Doctors Without Borders. Okay. So I take the tote, I empty it, I put each hoop around my, like a little feed bag and a little horsey. And you're still driving. And I'm driving and I'm throwing up. And I'm barfing into this canvas tote.

And that's when I realized- Listeners, trigger warning, we're gonna hear a story about barf. Oh yeah. So I barf into the tote. And I feel great. Yeah, it's one of those instant. And I feel great. Yeah. It's one of those instant feel.

I feel so much better. Until I realize it's a canvas tote. I have to act quickly. Oh, right. So I'm like, well, I can't just leave it in the car. And I look at the tote and I'm like, well, you've been good to me. This is where we part ways. And I undo the passenger side window.

I kind of tied in the little knot and I I huck the toad out the window along the highway. And I slowly drive away. Hee hee! Ha! And I'm still around all the cars I was with, Ha ha ha ha! while barfing and feed bagging my toad around my ears, like a sick horse.

I was picturing you like, I want to keep the totes. So I rolled down the window, stuck it out, but then rolled it back up and just had the little handle in it. No, cause it was coming out the bottom. I know, but the bottom, but like, I mean, on the outside. I'm on the highway. Yeah, but you're going slow.

I wasn't forever. I would have probably just barfed out the window. Would you ever see people? But I can't barf. You can't lean over that bar. I wasn't forever. I would have probably just barfed out the window. Would have been funny. But I can't barf. You can't lean over that bar. I can't barf out, yeah, I'm driving. Yeah, in the Prius, yes, but in this one, no.

Also, I did have to ask, when we got the electric car, I was like, so how do you wash it? And if it rains, is there like a big umbrella? Should I not do rain? Oh man, what about a puddle? Can it get wet underneath? She's asking how to wash, let's really upsell her on all the other things that don't exist. Oh yeah, well you're definitely gonna want to come in for an oil change. Yeah, you want to see, you're gonna be pretty good at the aqua level.

Oh yeah, I broke up with Mr. Lube. I was like, well, I guess this is it. Mr. Lube, never gonna need you again. Yeah, that's right. For American listeners, non-Canadian listeners, Mr. Lube? Never gonna do you again. Yeah, that's right. For American listeners, non-Canadian listeners, Mr. Lube is a chain of- Sexual- Pleasers.

A chain of like car, you drive through car maintenance places, not just a guy who she's breaking up with. I've had a- I- Mr. Lube. I was watching, I think, hockey a few months ago, and there was an ad for like, what was it? It was like franchises.

It was like, we're a company that sets people up with franchises. Then I went to their website and I searched to see what franchises are like the most expensive. Mr. Lube is the most expensive franchise. I guess because you need to have a whole setup. Yeah, you need to dig a hole. You have to dig.

Yeah. Because a subway can go anywhere, but yeah. And yet it only goes in the saddest of places. Yeah. Somehow wherever there's a subway, there's no shade, no trees. It's all sidewalk and cement and it's rough yeah doors too hot and it's sticky like and yet I love a subway

sandwich yeah I mean I like an egg bite will you ever have egg bites again I can't well I know I will it'll just be a while yeah it's snow but it's no you don't have to get to know them again. They're gross. What am I? Yeah, they were gross and it's also old egg. I was yeah Yeah, it's not idiot. I'm the idiot. I started to work that day and I then I didn't have a tote So I'm just walking around my script my water bottle and all my things my hands The canvas dough. Well, of course, it's a canvas I'm saying, you know, like some have a bit of a you know, if it's a canvas tote. I'm saying, you know, like some have a little bit of a, you know, if it's a liquor store tote, maybe there's a bit of a plastic liner to it.

Oh yeah, you got a fancy tote every now and then. Yeah. Or like a tote made out of shower curtains. Oh yeah, that'd be perfect. Upcycled. Well, let's tell you what's in my car now. A Ziploc bag. Nice.

Oh my God, what would be worse, seeing a tote bag full of barf or a Zip-Lock Bag full of barf? Well, I wouldn't have to throw out a tote. No, but then you just seal it. Yeah. And just let it ride with it. And then you hug that. If we had our own branded totes,

we would give you one right now. Thanks, guys. Well, I am down a tote, so. I have this Retail Nightmares one right here. Yeah, do you want a barf on that? No, I'm okay for now. Let me get some old egg in me. Well, check it out. It's retail nightmares. It's a rival podcast

We love everyone over there at retail nightmares. Yeah, we wish you. Do not barf in that tote. Yeah. What's going on with you, Graham? This past weekend, I was, had to do a show in Port Moody. Have you guys ever been to Port Moody? I don't think so. Pomo.

Pomo, have you been? I think so, but I don't know. There are the Tri-Cities there. Yeah. It's Quiltum, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody, and I think I went to Port Moody. I think I've been I don't know. It's, they're the Tri-Cities there. It's the Quitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. And I think I went to Port Moody. I think I've been to all of them. There's also a Burquitlam,

which is a hybrid of Port Coquitlam and Burnaby. How far is it from there? Regular. It's an hour and 20 minutes, an hour and 10. Port Moody? Did you go for the weekend or just for a show? No, it's due to the show. It's just due to the show, but it was a long way to drive

to just do 15 minutes of material. I'm looking it up. I think I can get you there faster than an hour 20. What do you got on Waze? Waze is saying from right now. Yeah, but he's not leaving right now. This is for the show, you know, it was a weekend. That's true.

Yeah, well, yeah, traffic's so much worse on the weekend. It is. It is, everyone's out of school. It's 4.30 on a Friday. When would traffic be worse than right now? You're right, actually. No, this is a very good time. And it's a very good time.

55 minutes. 55 minutes, OK. So still, a long way to go for 15 minutes that I'm not headlining. I'm on a showcase-style show. Well, that's very nice of you to do that. They were paying me money. And so I.

Yeah, I know. But usually you would headline. Like, that's very nice of you to do that. They were paying me money. And so I- Yeah, I know, but usually you would headline. Like it's, that's very, you know. Well, I'll tell you just how not headline I was, but Sally and I, we thought we'd make a day of it. We'll go to a poor moody. Sure, it's gonna take us five hours to drive out. And we're gonna go, I'm gonna look up thrift stores and I'm gonna look up somewhere to eat

and make it into like a fun day. What time of day was the show? Show was started at eight, eight, had to be there at 730. Feel like it's a town where the thrift stores close hours before the show would start. Yeah, the like, you know, nurse auxiliary thrift stores are closed quite early. Value Village, open till 11.

That's all right. Yeah. And I went there and just as I was checking out, uh, the lady was like, are you part of the, the value village saver club? I was like, absolutely. And she's like, check your email. Cause there's a 30% coupon code in there. So that was pretty great.

It was hilarious because it was an ice cream place. It was, if you wanted to go to the gym that was attached, you had to walk through the ice cream place. If you wanna leave, you had to walk through the ice cream place. Oh, that's awesome. It was so, it was so crazy. And their ice cream, phenomenal.

Oh, and their treadmill, tight. Yeah. Those medicine balls for days. Oh, yeah. I went in there, I'm doing the ropes. I got ice cream everywhere. Yeah. I'm just gonna hold it in my mouth while I do the ropes. So I'm picking up little things, you know, okay, there's this place, there's, we, there

was something called golden spike days where it was like... Volleyball? It was like a bunch of vendors and some live music. Hear me out. Golden Spike, Golden T is the game you play, the golf game you play in the bars. Golden Spike would be a video game, but it's like that punching a thing, but you're spiking a thing. Yeah, I like that. And then we just watch the money roll in. Trademark, trademark that.

Trademark, trademark. Trademark, trademark. 430 Thursday, trademark. Yeah. Friday. So I collect all this stuff. I have a new night shoot. And I do, I start laying them out on stage

when I'm up there, nothing. None of this is connects. This town couldn't be less interested in their own town. What, they don't go to their own town? They don't seem to care about it. Except when I said that you guys have the skinniest A&W I've ever seen. Oh, they laughed at that.

I was like, that wasn't even my top five things I saw. What's skinny about it? It's so small. It's just a drive-through, but it couldn't be like bigger than 12 feet across. It's a freestanding structure? Yeah. Wow. Really?

Yeah. And it was just a drive. It was great. What do you think it was before it was an A&W? Or do you think it was built? I think it was purposely built as an A&W. To be a tiny A&W. Yeah.

And there's a sign for re- It was actually a drive through glory hole. Oh really? What was it called back then? A&W. And what did that stand for? Anal end. End?

Wow, there's oral too. You nailed it. Do you think maybe you had a lot of out-of-towners at your show? No, I asked. I canvassed. But what I decided to do instead is I just did a lot of chatting to the audience. And then there was a couple there. It was their anniversary.

Oh, yeah, you're going to rip them to shreds. And she knew the exact time that they first had their first kiss. And it was at 8 p.m. on their anniversary. So I'm on stage, it's like 20 to eight. We gotta make this happen. We got it, so I'm killing time, killing time. Then bring them up on stage, count down to the kiss. They kiss, everybody goes bananas.

And I was like, well, I didn't have to do any research at all. This just landed in my lap in the last second. And that didn't make you cry? No. It's making you cry. I think that's beautiful. All I could think of was like, oh, what day of the week was it? Oh, Saturday.

No, but when their first date was, when their first kiss was. You want to go back four years? It was their four year anniversary. Oh, she's literally going to need a Kleenex, this lady. I'm sniffing away from the mic. No, I just, I'm- And I did bring Kleenex. I've learned from podcasts, this is how you sniff.

Okay, I'm just gonna, so this was July, oh, June 20, fuck, 28th? I've never been there that day. Why did she know the time? I guess maybe it was, you know, maybe it was some kind of... You didn't ask? I did, but I was too excited about it. I didn't want to get into the logistics all that much, you know? You know, I think, Graham, you realize that you had magic in front of you. It was amazing. Yeah. Because I was asking the crowd, birthday, anniversary, all that kind of stuff. And then, yeah, she spoke up and I was like, this is amazing. This is amazing.

My jaw was on the floor. What? Yeah, we need to detail.

Was it girls night or was it with your husband? No, it was- Neither. It was with friends. Okay. It was with friends and we had- I go out with acquaintances. Well, you're the acquaintance, Dave.

You're the acquaintance. That's what they call you. Let's do an acquaintance night, guys. We'll go dancing. Or tell me about your dance. It was with some people. We went out for some drinks and then everyone was like, I kinda wanna dance. Sure. And I was like, well, I could get us into the Fox. like, I kind of want to dance. Sure.

And I was like, well, I could get us into the Fox. Yeah, they do dance nights there all the time. On Saturday nights, there's some great DJs there. And I was like, let's go dancing. So we went to the Fox and we went dancing. And it was really fun, actually. I had a great time. And at one point we looked over and these two people

were like making out on the dance floor. Yeah. I was like, out on the dance floor. Yeah. I was like, oh yeah, that rocks. And then I saw someone else kind of like walk up to the people that were making out and stop them from making out. Oh. And then that person walked away and then they kept making out again.

Sure. Free country. And I overheard the person who was walking away being like, how do they say it? And then they kept making out again. Sure. It's free country. And I overheard the person who was walking away being like, how do they say it? So the person had stopped the make out and then as they were, they stopped the make out, they were walking away and they resumed making out. And I heard the person say, that's not her husband. And I was like, what?

Where? What? And so I guess the friend had been like, what are you doing? You're making out, you're married. And she was like, okay, you're right, I'm sorry. That person friend walked away and then they kept making out again.

Wow. But this is what happens on the dance floor. I know. It's murder on the dance floor. Blood on the dance floor. It's adultery on the dance floor. What, so I never really went dancing. No, I went like in college.

I went to a few like, oh, everyone's going to the dance club and I would go and I would like not dance. And then sometimes I would dance. He's cleaning a table. He's not dancing. He's over there cleaning a table. Dave's making a house of cards out of sugar packets. Oh, God, he brought a book. Dave's making a house of cards out of sugar packets. Oh God, he brought a book. But like, I never really understood like, or weddings,

when the dance floor opens up on weddings and it goes for so long, it's like, are people dancing for hours nonstop? Like I sweat, I'm like drenched in sweat if I dance for 10 minutes. I left and I was also, someone spilled a beer on me. Yeah. I was drenched.

It was the best feeling. You get home from a night of dancing. It's kind of why I don't have much of a voice right now because we were singing a lot. It was also like 90s and early 2000s music. Yeah. Really my demographic. I only like today's music, today's hits.

Today's best music. Today's best music. Where do you listen to it? Mix 96. I listen to Mix 96. I listen to Mix 96. I listen to Matchbox 20. Yeah, Matchbox 20. And Three Doors There.

And their friends. Yeah. I got home and it's that feeling of like peeling your clothes off. That's the best feeling. Being absolutely drenched with sweat and beer. I'm 42. I don't get a lot of these nights. When was the last time you went dancing before this?

Before this? It was probably, Eboni's wedding. That was? Two years ago. Two years ago. Oh, no. James doesn't get a shout out, great. Oh, I mean, yeah, Eboni and James's brother.

Here's my feeling that I like, when I like to peel clothes off, is I used to be when I went skiing, but now that I like to, when I like to peel clothes off is, I used to be when I went skiing, but now when I play hockey, that's my socks. Yeah, Dave's a big sock dealer out there. All the texture of the socks is on the roof of your foot. Roof.

Roof. Roof. Wait, I wanna call it that from now on. The roof of the foot. You guys, I got a tan on the roof of my foot from my Birkenstocks and it's hilarious. I have to wear socks today because of my tan on my roof. On my foot.

Well, they say roof of your mouth, but it's really the ceiling of your mouth. That's right. Your head is the, your scalp is the roof. Your scalp is the roof of your head. Well, it's the roof of your mouth too, cause there's nothing. Holy cheese.

It's just like a lot of insulation in there. Wow, so the attic is my brain? Yeah attic is yeah your brain. And the pipes is my nose and my ears? Yes, you're getting it. Yeah, and the eyes are the gargoyles? Oh my god. Oh, the throat is the toilet. Nobel Prize in biology to Caitlin. The throat is the toilet. I guess you do put things down in there. Yeah, that's where everything goes. Oh, wow. I know.

The human body. You guys have really blown my mind today. Yeah, well, you're a addict. I would love to take you guys dancing. Yeah, I love it. I've, I- We'll be home by two, 2.30 the latest. Oh, I have a 10-ish appointment.

I love that. Get home at 2.30. Sweaty. Wake up at 10. Oh, no, 2 30 the latest. Oh, I have a dentist appointment. Get home at 2 30. Sweaty. Oh, no, that's the best part. You can't sleep in past 7 30. No. No. You got a dog. The sun's up.

Yeah, but you know, people have blinds and such. Do you, can you sleep in? No. No. Can I sleep in? Yeah. Oh yeah. Really? Oh yeah. To what? Like if you have, someone's told you,

I want you to sleep in tomorrow. Yeah. Okay, look, I'm serious. Yeah. What can you do? There's a million dollars on the line. I can, I could do easily 10, 10, 30, not even, not even wince.

Wow, that's nice. There's a weird thing, I was talking with Erica about her husband Jay, that he will set an alarm and then like silence it, and he'll literally go back to sleep. Like it isn't just that kind of like, I don't wanna get out of bed. I do that too.

Like I can fall back asleep. Immediately. Immediately, yeah. As soon as I wake up, I'm like, don't wanna get up, back to sleep. Ooh. Yeah. I have dogs who just lick their paws

until I get out of bed. I have a dog who has nails and she just takes time. She'll do like lifting her foot and then putting it down. So all you hear is like tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, but she's not moving. She's standing in place, lifting up little paws and then putting them down. You live on the top floor?

Two, three, two, yeah. And you, when it's first thing in the morning, you're really tired, you take the dog on the balcony or take the dog down to the street? I mean, we have a garden. There's a rock garden. Oh, garden, balcony, right. So we have a, we have the upstairs.

Sure. Okay. We take her upstairs. Okay. And then I'd say every other day, not every day, that's crazy. Once or twice a week, I will spray those rocks with like a vinegar, alcohol, water solution. It rains a lot here. I know, but still the rain can like,

you gotta pick up the poop right away because it does rain a lot. Yeah, yeah. Oh, sure. Do you ever just hang your butt over the edge of the- The balcony and squeeze? I did, but I did it the wrong way around and then she just shat on the balcony. Oh no.

She wanted to see the view. She wanted to watch time fly. But you just opened the door and you let them go nuts. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Irma had knee surgery. So she- What happened?

She tore her ACL, well CCL it's called in dark. Oh. Handball. Yeah. Yeah, she got a handball. She was playing soccer and she was called for a handball. So the other team got a penaltyball. Yeah. Yeah, she got a handball. She was playing soccer and she was called for a handball. And so the other team got a penalty shot. Yeah.

And she, it was, when it snowed, they're never, we never let our dogs off leash because they're insane. Yeah. But we were, it snowed and we went into like the tennis court area up the street and, because Noah, they couldn't be around other dogs. And then they just went crazy in the snow and she was limping. And so she tore street and, cause Noah, they couldn't be around other dogs. And then they just went crazy in the snow and she was limping.

And so she tore it and, uh, had surgery in, well, I guess. End of April. And then it was supposed to be four months of recovery and it is, but as of yesterday, she just got her last, um, x-rays, you're going to cry. Oh, she's just so little. Oh, she's 45 pounds. She's the big one. Don't shame her.

Don't shame her like that. And they now say she can go on longer walks. She can't be off leash, which is fine, but she can now resume climbing stairs. So I no longer have to carry her up and down the stairs. For four months you've had to carry her? For two months. Oh, okay, okay.

Two more months I would have to if she wasn't. If you had one of those acorn stair lift situations, put her around that, away she goes. Oh, we gotta get her one of those walk-in baths. Oh my God. Dave, you haven't overheard? Yeah, which one? Which one are we gonna use today?

Oh, I've got a little reservoir of them, a little reservoir tip of what we're gonna use. I'm gonna start doing that. Even though I do the podcast once a year, I'm gonna have a note. Yeah, I keep going around it. It just says like, when you have something, put it there. Yeah.

Okay, this is from Canada Day. Canada Day was July 1st this year. Woo. And. Elbows out. It's July 1st every year. Okay. Smarty pants.

Wait, thank you. And I was in a grocery store and there were some people, young women, I might even say, you know, cool women going to a party, going to a Canada Day party. And they rounded the corner, there were three of them, rounded the corner in the grocery store, and they were like, anything else we need for the party? And they turned the corner and they all gasped.

And they all spotted, we need mini pepperoni sticks. Yes. That's not a party without them really. One of them goes, but let's gatekeep, let's gatekeep them for ourselves. Yeah. I hope they make Caesars out of it. A little pepperoni stick on a Caesar for the Americans.

That's our clam and tomato juice. Yeah, it's our- Either vodka or gin or tequila. What do you call Bloody Mary? Bloody Mary. It's not Bloody Mary's tomato juice. I know, but it's our- Okay, but it's not. Okay, but it's not.

Okay, but it's, but like what else is the difference? The clam. Yeah, okay. So for Americans, it's like a Bloody Mary, but with Clamato instead of- Tomato. Tomato. And I would also say a Bloody Mary often has just a salt rim, whereas a Caesar has a celery salt rim.

Sure. Often with a Bloody Mary, you're just getting a lemon wedge and a celery. Whereas with the Caesar, you're getting, oh, the possibilities are endless. I think you'll find Bloody Marys, they're going crazy on those as well. And with the- Really, they're putting pepperoni in a Bloody Mary?

They're putting like a balancing of hamburger on a skewer. What do you call this, garnish? No. Yeah. Yeah, decoration, snacks. But it's, I think I've maybe had two Caesars in my life. I've never had one. Really?

I'm allergic to the selfish. Oh yeah, you couldn't. Can't have it. They kill you. Yeah. I've had a Bloody Mary and I was like, I don't understand what the fuss about this is. Well, it's a meal. It's a meal replacement. Yeah, it's a meal.

Yeah, it's like insure, but for fun. Oh man, I could go for some insure right now. That's all I'm gonna have for dinner. I'm gonna have some insure. Are you a big Caesar lady? I love Caesars. Do you have them, how late in the day can you have them? Or are they just brunch?

Oh, well see, I can't drink in the morning. Okay. I have a hard, I find that really hard to like. Why are you not sleeping in then? I'm up at six in the morning, I'm drinking. Yeah, he's making prank phone calls by nine o'clock. I'm, cause I'll start donating to too many things. I'll get broke.

I can have a Caesar in the afternoon. Yeah. Like I'm not gonna have it past five. Sure. And then are you yawning by eight? I feel like if I have a little drink in the afternoon, I'm like, boy, boy, am I yawning by. Well, that's the problem with drinking in the morning

for me where I'm like, I can't have a drink in the morning. I'll be asleep by noon. That's great. Yeah, Well, that's the problem with drinking in the morning for me where I'm like, I can't have a drink in the morning, I'll be asleep by noon. That's great. Yeah, and that sounds fantastic. Go to the park, stare over the clouds, fall asleep in the park. Look through your hat.

Actually, I'm unemployed now. We all got an email from the show a couple of weeks ago being like, this is your notice of termination. I was like, just say that the season's wrapped. Yeah, we know.

No, he's doing great. What's going on with you? Over heard? Yeah, shut up.

Guys, I've been drinking since six a.m. So I was at the aforementioned Golden Spike days. And there was- At about 5.07, I just wanna just double check on how long it would take to get there right now. Okay, 5.07? Probably more than 55 minutes. I bet you. That's what I'm guessing. Port Moody. Do we have any guesses? I'm gonna say an hour seven minutes. I'm gonna go right at an

hour. You're not gonna like this. Hour 22? 55 minutes. 55 minutes! Damn it. Wait, what highway are you taking? That's crazy. Okay, we're gonna go- You're getting on by 12th or at first? We're gonna take Broadway. That's insane. Okay. To Will and then and then what are you doing Grandview under the highway? You're gonna take first. I Don't think we're taking the highway. Oh It's get on the highway to go there. There's gotta be a highway. Well, yeah, there's a highway if you want to Want to take an hour five? Mmm. Oh I've been taking highways everywhere. What an idiot. They seem faster.

Yeah. Yeah. And the great thing about highways is they're perfect if you need to barf. So it was at Golden Spike days. There was a talent show. We never heard of it. Oh yeah.

There's a talent show at the Golden Spike days. Golden Spike being the railroad. Oh, we got distracted by the game invention. Yeah, that's true. It was talent show on the stage. And we walked in, there was a teenager on stage with a guitar, sat into the microphone. This is an original.

We're like, oh, this is going to be terrible. So walked away. Can't hear this kid's. Yeah, you don't want to goof on a kid. But then I heard them announce that this six-year-old was going to sing My Heart Will Go On. Couldn't have made it to the stage faster. Pushing people over.

Yeah, and it was the cutest goddamn thing. And then after performance, the MC went up and he said, do you know how wonderful that was? And she just went, yeah. Good for her. That, that was good. Yep. I do. I really do.

But yeah, so Golden Spike days, and she really nailed it too. I was gonna ask, what was your take on her performance? She was great. Take on her performance. Take it on. But yeah, we all love the six year old and big future ahead of her. Don't remember her name.

Oh no, wait, it was Charlotte. Her name was Charlotte. Does she wanna be a, like, she could sing that song? Yeah. Oh, you don't see too many, did I go Irish? Oh, you don't see too many. You don't see too many talent shows these days. What's going on?

They're all on TV. They're all on TV. Yeah. That's true. But seeing a live talent show, it's a ton of fun. Especially if there's a bunch of different acts. Yeah, my kid's school does a talent show at the end of the year, every year. And there's always like some dance, some instruments,

some martial arts. Yep. That might be it. I think the martial arts would be my arts. Yeah. That might be it. I think the martial arts would be my favorite. One person just doing a routine by themselves and going, kia! That rocks. Yeah, I also like a monologue. Does anybody do a monologue?

A lot of people do impressions of Katie Seagal. Fry. It's good Seagal. Fry. It's good. Come on, Fry. You could step in like that. Katie Seagal, what do you want to do anymore? You're in. Yeah.

Do... Sons of Anarchy? Sons of Anarchy. Son of Anarchy? Jax. Oh, nice. Son of the Sun, right? Yeah, pretty good.

Yeah. No, we also have overheard sent in to us by people all over the world. If you want to send one in, just send it in to sbyatmaximalfund.org. And this first one, person didn't sign their name on it. So I don't know who this is from. Oh my God.

But this was somebody taking his kid to Dungeons and Dragons group. And on his way to Dungeons and Dragons group at the library, the library no less, hosting Dungeons and Dragons events, my son told my wife, I'm ready to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of ass. Well done, kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me more bubble gum.

That rocks. Yeah, you know that movie's from, the bubble gum and ass kicking? No, I just thought it was a sweet, it's been kids saying it. It's a sweet, it's from, They Live, isn't it? Yeah, it's from a movie. What the hell is that?

Rowdy Roddy Piper has these sunglasses where he can see who's a freaky guy. Like I'm gonna know a movie with Rowdy Roddy Piper has these sunglasses where he can see who's a freaky guy. Like I'm gonna know a movie with Rowdy Roddy Paw Piper. Paw Piper. I haven't seen it either, but I know that scene where he says that thing. But that's a saying from other things too, isn't it? Like I'm all ready to eat some grass and kick some ass. Well, that's a different saying.

It's about eating grass and kicking ass. But this is about chewing bubble gum. But what is the original of that? Take a name or? Yeah, I think the original is who's got two thumbs and loves killing freaky guys with my sunglasses. Kill them all like God sort of matters. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You got one? I feel like we don't know the same things. Do you think, so you think that I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum and I'm all out of bubble gum is a generic thing? No. Okay. I think it's like Hello Calgary. Right.

I think it's been morphed many times. And it's been, I'm here to X and Y, but the Y is a like variable. Right. And I'm all out of Y. Yeah, sure, I buy that. Yeah, I think it's a template. What was the other one?

Two hits, me hitting you, you hitting the floor. That was another classic. Also from this movie? No, that's from the Breakfast Club where the, is that from the Breakfast Club where the principal is threatening to beat the shit out of him? Judd Nelson? Judd Nelson? Judd Nelson?

The principal says that? Yeah. A student? Who's in his 30s? A student in his 30s, yeah. He also said if you mess with the bull, you get the horns. That's the first time I've ever heard that. Well, he didn't invent that. That had to be. That's an old saying, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Goes back as far as bulls, you know? This next one comes from Brooke. This is in Denton, Texas Today I was somewhat disturbed over here a college guy asking a friend there in a bookstore College guy asking a friend. Hey, look at those books. Are they scratch and taste? No, there's never been something so delicious the college books So that kid was picked on in school because he was the kid licking the books. Yeah.

I get it. I remember those markers, the Mr. Skechers, where you're like, I could eat this. The purple one. I could have eaten that. Yeah. I was, yeah. They don't make them anymore.

If they do, we don't have them. We don't get them, yeah. Like, because I would. Like smelly felts? Yeah. They may be, they may be do, have them. We don't get them here. Like, cause I would. Like smelly felts? Yeah. Yeah. They may be, they may be do, but they, I remember them so precisely

and you would get them. They would, it was a long, a long container. Foam. And you pull that and the foam inside and you could color the foam with the felts and be like, oh yes, well, you know, brown goes here, brown cinnamon, not the best. Oh, what was the best?

Was it pink, pink bubblegum? Boy, any of the fruit ones were good. Yeah. For me it was purple grape. Purple grape. But I love cinnamon in general, but the cinnamon smelly felt. Yeah, too spicy.

Too spicy. Was black licorice? Yes. You know what, let's pull up the Mr. Too spicy. Yeah, too spicy. Too spicy. Was black licorice? Yes. Yes. You know what, let's pull up the Mr. Sketches. Black was licorice, pink was probably bubblegum, yellow was some sort of lemony, I wanna say. Yeah, that makes sense.

No, it wasn't banana, I'm pretty sure if I remember. But what was green then? Oh, maybe green apple? Yeah, maybe. Mr. Sketch markers vintage? Is that what we are? Yeah. So this, okay.

So there's a list of what, what flavors are what? Oh, there were two greens. Well, yellow maybe was a, yellow was a lemon. I'm sorry. Oh, green apple. I'm so sorry. This is bad. I didn't get a good picture and now I'm in trouble and I'm wasting time. Well, you can edit this out, right? No, no, it has.

This is all I do it. Guys, I only listen to the podcast when Kayla and Evanie are on. Yeah, not James. No. Do you know they sent me flowers this morning? Guys, I only listen to the podcast when Kayla and Evan are on. Yeah, me too. Not James? No. Do you know they sent me flowers this morning? They did? Kayla and Ev.

Yeah, I know, right? Good Lord. This is the one I remember, yeah. Yeah, this is good. Okay. Now I gotta log in. Oh my god. Playing overheard. All right, let me do my last overheard while you... I'm not finishing. I'm not doing this. We're not gonna find out. Well, that's an itch. Scratch it.

So this is from Jay in the UK. Last night I dreamt I was a sort of a background person on your show. I mostly sat there at the table and chimed in a bit. Apparently you're recording in Graham's basement rather than Dave's and Graham's basement had a urinal in the corner, which he warned me with considerable emphasis, did not work. Don't be like, you know, man, look at me. Don't do it. Shit doesn't work. That does not work. That shit does not work. Wow. That sucks that your basement has a urinal in it. I think it rules. The fact that it doesn't work sucks.

Well, that tells me then it's just a bathroom. What's this? Is this a pack of just all-cinnamons? We've lost Dave to the internet. Well, you told me to hang out. You told me to scratch this itch. Somebody did and her name's Katelyn Hadden. You can buy replacement ones. Okay, here's what they have at the moment. Mr. Sketch scented movie night, chocolate mint chiseled tip marker.

I don't know. Cinnamon, mint, fruit punches blue. Oh, mint was green. Well no, it couldn't have been back then. No, I don't remember no mint. punch is blue. Oh, mint was green. Well, no, it couldn't have been back then. No, I don't remember no mint. No, this is bad. I think it was green apple. Okay, let's move on to overheard.

In addition to overheards that are written in, we also accept your phone calls and your voice memos. If you wanna give us a voice memo, email it to spy at maximumfun.org. And if you wanna call us, it's 1-844-779-7631 that's one. Ugh, Spypod one. Like these people have. That was in Belgium.

Oh nice. That's just, that was catchy enough to send it around the world. That's Brazil. That's Canada. That's... these are all Canada. Well these are all really like regional? This is French-Canadier. These are all Canada. Well these are all really like regional. This is French-Canadia.

I mean... That's fun. That is good. That's Germany. Okay. Spain? Germany. Germany, okay. Greece.

Hungary. I don't know how to speak. Greece? Hungary? Italy? Anyway, you get the point. Okay, phone calls. Here we go. Alright, this is one that's from a family member of mine. Oh, okay. Hi, I'm Poppy. And today I was at the park.

And I was looking for a place to sleep. And I found this place. And I was at the park and some kids were running past me and one of them fell down and that same kid just said on the floor, I think I broke my penis. Off I go. She knows how to sign off. She's a natural. Yeah. Yeah, it's, you know, when you're a kid, it's something that's breakable.

You don't want to land on it. And you know what? You'll yell it at the park. I asked later for some clarification. It was on the little trampoline at the park. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You're gonna hurt yourself.

Because when little boys, the penis is still quite, it's glass-like, right? When you're little. And then as you get older, it was on the little trampoline at the park. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You're going to hurt yourself. Because when little boys, the penis is still quite, it's glass-like, right, when you're little and then as you get older, it like toughens up and hardens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you get your baby penis and then it falls off. It's like the banana with an appeal. You slough it, yeah.

Yeah, it's just like an open banana and then it peels. Like the banana with an appeal. And then it grows around it. And it's kind of like a deer that they have to get their antlers off every year that's again, penis falls in the snow. Yeah, and it's quite gory. Yeah, it every year. That's a penis falls in the snow. And it's quite gory. Yeah, it's awful.

It's awful to see. And it's lost in a fight, that's right? Like rutting? No, you can rut or you can rub your penis up against a tree and that may fall off. You know, maybe fall down on the trampoline at the park. Oh, my penis. Also, there should not be trampolines at a park.

That seems really dangerous. The brand of trampoline is Eurotramp. So I think it's European. I love that name, Euro Tramp. It's like built into the ground. It's a small, not big enough for more than one person. Okay. Big bounces though or little bounces? Fucking big bounces, dude. Dude, you can bounce on that like a European. Like freaking Yannis Entendupumpo. The Greek God, the Greek freak. Yes, you've been to a sports park.

I love Yannis. Next phone call. Hi, Dave and Graham and possible guests. This is Casey. I'm a letter carrier out from Angersaw, Ontario. I just had a fantastic overheard. These two kids went riding by me on bikes, maybe 12 years old. And I only heard a little snippet of their conversation.

The one kid goes, Oh, shit, you used to watch that too. And they were laughing with each other, like a laugh of recognition. And then just as they were passing me, I heard the one go, ah, fucking Backyardigans, man. It was really great. Anyway, I love this show so much. You guys are the best. Thank you.

And I'm like, oh, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo. Backyardigans, Polly Pocket-esque? I don't know, Backyardigans, Polly Pocket-esque? I don't know, backyardigans is something, if you were on Buzzfeed, you were a 90s kid, if you liked the backyardigans, it was a sign you were a 90s kid. Yeah, I don't remember them exactly, I don't know if they were a show or just a toy.

I know the name. Yeah. You're gonna recognize it when I pull it up. Oh, shit, no, I don't recognize it up. Oh shit. No, I don't recognize it I don't know that I don't know it either. Oh my god. What did I think it? What was I thinking of? I don't know that go back to the markers go back to the markers But you know what that listener is not wrong. You guys really are the best at this What is but what show am I thinking of with the little nerdy kid in the yard?

He's a redheaded nerdy little toddler. Dennis the Menace? It might be. Nerdy toddler. Toddler cartoon. Now you're just gonna get a bunch of ads for, you know, backyard cartoons. It's Rugrats, yeah.

Rugrats. That little redheaded nerdy kid. Yeah, Rugrats. He's a Rug nerdy kid. Yeah, Rugrats. He's a Rugrat. Absolutely. But that's what I, when you said backyardigans, oh boy, did I picture these guys. Boy, that was my childhood. Yeah, when you were a teenager.

Yeah, no, I know. If I was a 90s kid. You mean, does that mean you were born in the 90s? It means different things to different people. Because some of the BuzzFeed lists, I'd be like, yeah, I am a 90s kid. Cause I watched Saved by the Bell. And some of them might be like, I'm not a 90s kid.

I didn't watch Rugrats. Are you a Gen X? I'm a cusper. Yeah. Yeah. You guys feel Gen X? Yeah, we do a lot of talk about Havana. We're both 1980. Yeah, which is the cutoff.

Yeah. Now I'm wearing cutoffs, which is... He's not even joking. I am wearing cutoffs. But yeah, all my siblings are Gen X, and it's hard to believe I would be a different generation than my siblings. And yet...

Here we go. Speedy glass repairs, speedy glass replace. Final phone call. Hi, Dave and Graham and possible guests. It's Lorraine from Ohio. Hey, I just saw F1 and a super fun movie would highly recommend. It's fine, it's not great.

Because it has Brad Pitt in it, it reminded me of an overheard from years ago whenever I went and saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. And there's a scene in that movie, and I think Graham has talked about it before, where Brad Pitt climbs up on the roof and takes his shirt off, as one does. And there was a, I'm assuming mother daughter in front of me, middle-aged and elderly woman at the time. And the elderly woman kind of gasped

whenever Brad Pitt did that and kind of leaned over to her daughter and said, oh, well, that's a nice little treat. And then we moved on with the movie. Anyway, no frigging way, off I go. Lalalalalala. The- Oh, that's a nice little treat. When I saw it in the theater, there was an audible gasp from probably like 20 people

because it was like, he looked amazing. He is a very good looking human being. Yeah, but it was one of those things like, he's still got it. Yeah, I mean he did hit his kid. Yeah, just don't look into the, what he did on that plane. Yeah, Angelin is not keeping the kids from him, okay? Okay, yeah.

Okay, everyone. Well, that brings us to the end of this here podcast. Katelyn, tell us what you wanna plug. Where can we, you've got this fantastic new podcast.
