Hi, he's Dave Shumka.

And together we host, Stop Podcasting Yourself.
Woo!
Hello, everybody, and welcome to episode number 9-10 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark.
With me, as always.
He's a man who.
Well, this will be the last time I see him for a whole month.
As you're listening to it, he will be back.
But I'm going to miss him.
I'm going to miss him, Mr. Dave Shumka.
Yeah, we're doing a thing where we pre-tape a bunch of shows in the summer.
It's never backfired on us.
And I just want to say that I'm sure that by the time we're back, Hulk Hogan will be alive.
Godwilling.
No couples will have been caught Cheetah in a Coldplay concert.
But, uh, what else is in the news?
Yeah, so we're recording this a month before, uh, it comes out.
Maybe those Epstein papers will have come out in the next.
Oh, you actually want to deal with the actual future?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's, what's, it's going to be happening?
Oh, sure.
Everybody will be doing a dance called the, the squawk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm certain that in the future, in one month, everyone will be doing a dance called the squawk.
prove us wrong future prove us wrong
and you kind of did like the first move
was kind of like a walk like an Egyptian
yeah but just one hand
yeah with like sort of like a bird beak
and then it's
and am I doing the squawk
our guest today is the guy
who they credit with
coming up with the squawk
he's a comedian
he is traveling across Alberta
in September and he is recording
an album in September here
in Vancouver. Yes.
It's Rory Dunn. Hello, Rory. Hello. Thank you
for having me. You're welcome. I think, wait,
did you, you're traveling around
Alberta in August. I'm doing
August and September, I'm doing Alberta, Saskatchewan
and a week in Toronto. Oh, nice.
So, all over the place. Hell yeah.
And you're from, you hail from,
I am from Saskatchew. Oh, let's get into it. Let's
get to know us.
Get to know us.
Where in Saskatchewan?
I am from Wolseley, Saskatchewan.
Wolvesley?
Wolseley, Saskatchew.
We have about 950 people.
Oh, it's its claim to fame, Wolseley.
Well, the largest drug busts of Canadian history.
Nice.
Shout out to my-shirt taken to that.
Shout out to my dad.
He was the one who was busted.
Is that right?
Yes.
Wow.
But he never went to jail.
That's the fun part.
Oh, come.
He is a landmark case in medical marijuana usage history in Canada.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Wow.
Was he using it for medical marijuana purposes?
No, but he is a landmark case in him.
So was he able to get himself off?
That's not the right way to say.
No, was he able to, like, jack himself off?
He drank off in court a lot, and they let him go.
They were just like, we're done with this.
Yeah.
Was the, what was he able to?
I would stop drinking.
I'll hold you in contempt, as long as you hold me, baby.
Keep judging me, everybody.
It's my thing.
Was that the way he was, like, able to avoid jail time?
Was he said it's medical?
It was like they...
Give me a year.
I believe it was 1996.
I was five years old at the time.
And the doctor in town actually paid for my dad's entire defense because he was a big advocate
for medical marijuana usage.
And my father had a very bad back injury when I was very young, like two, three years old.
He fell four stories and broke his back.
Wow.
So he was actually in a law pain.
So he did use it for that.
But he also smoked weed every day of his life since he was 15 years old.
So it's a little fuzzy lines.
So he got off because of a good defense from that.
And also, well of the key witnesses didn't want to be, he wanted to be like a secret witness.
I'm not sure the technical terms.
But because my dad knew who it was, the way the court work is, if he's like, no, I know who that is, we want to be able to cross him.
And the guy didn't want to come forward after that.
So it fell apart because of that as well.
And what was the size of this drug bust?
I believe my dad at the time had over a thousand marijuana plant.
Jesus.
Okay.
Wow.
It was big for the time.
Yeah, yeah.
I want to say it was, I say, I think it might have been the biggest in Saskatchewan, one of the one.
of the biggest in Canada at the time.
Okay.
Yeah, when I asked how big it was, I was picturing like garbage bags.
But if they're all, would they're all just in your backyard?
No, we had a pig house that we, I grew up on.
Wait a minute.
What's a pig house?
And when the police arrest them, we're like, we're sending you to the pig house.
Great.
It's in my backyard.
Yeah, we had like a pig barn that we weren't using any more because we didn't have
pigs anymore.
And that's where he had a massive operation there, plus a secondary small house
that we used for storage that he had stuff in there.
And then there was a third house that pigs lived in.
But they were standing on their back legs and like cooking dinner and stuff.
They're very smart.
Pigs are smart.
The like running like a pot operation, no you need like ready access to like,
it doesn't have to be like super clean and clinical and you would think so.
I will be honest.
I don't know much about the operations at this point because.
Why? Because you're afraid that you'll bust them.
Yeah. Yeah. They'll come after me again if I say too much.
Reopen the case.
But my dad, at one point, I remember as a teenager, got very mad and was saying, talk about how me and my brother could have been the best weed dealers in all of Saskatchewan.
If my mom had just let my dad take us under his wing, I'm just like, that's not a good thing.
Yeah, it's good that I'm not a weed dealer dad.
Who is the best weed dealers, Saskatchew?
To the air, like, one day, you'll be like, Kirk Michelson.
Yeah, Kirk Michelson.
From, you know, what do you want to say?
No, what task wins, Alberta.
Oh.
Fairfield, no.
Turtleford.
Turtleford, absolutely.
The guy I used to work with a guy from Saskatchewan,
named the town.
What's the one Brent Butts from is Tisdale, Tisdale.
And he claims that it's.
Wayburn.
Yeah, Waiber.
That's the one I remember.
Yeah, he says that the claim to fame of the town is still a guy who is like a champion water skier.
That he's like, that's neck and neck in that town.
He's like, yeah, but you're no water skier, you know.
They love their lakes.
Yeah.
They got a lot of lakes.
Were you a lake person?
No, I was a river boy.
Okay.
I grew up in a valley.
We had a real, the Quapel Valley, and we had a really nice river that we'd go swim in in the summer and we'd catch frogs at and stuff.
That sounds like a very old-timey childhood to be catching frogs down in the river.
Yeah, very country bubkin.
Yeah, that was, I'm a proud country bumpkin.
Don't worry.
Did you, do you ever go tubing?
Yes, yeah.
My sister's friends, family's friend had like a boat.
It was a weird connection that eventually I got to a tube with them, but I had no way of accessing it myself.
Oh, tubing, like, behind a boat.
Yes, that's what I think of it's too.
But he's thinking, are you thinking of tubing like
Yeah, I think of like Lazy River.
Oh, that, see, I always think of tubing as behind the boat.
Yeah.
We never, no, we never did like a river float.
Do you remember that video game?
That's the way to get drunk.
You're a teen?
Yeah, it's the place.
It was called Tubin.
And you would float down a river.
Now, this is from what era?
This is a video game from, you want to say the 90s?
Yeah, maybe the early 90s.
Tubin, yeah.
And you would float down a river and, like, throw stuff.
That's pretty good.
And you go down rapids.
Yeah, it's kind of old.
And then they came out with polar tubing.
Every year in Calgary, they would warn people, don't go near the viaduct.
And every year in Calgary, somebody who get killed at the viaduct, it was just the, it was, you didn't go tubing at the viaduct.
That's the golden rule in Calgary tubing law.
What is a viaduct?
Excellent.
That's where people who are.
floating it to get killed most often.
It's like a bridge, right?
Or, I'm thinking, is it aqueduct?
Oh, an aqueduct is transports water.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In ancient Rome.
That's the one.
You want to stay away for that, yeah.
Abby, my wife, grew up in Switzerland in a city called Bern, the capital.
And I believe there, they have the river that runs through it, the Aura.
And that movie or the river runs from.
And there would be.
It's common for people to, on a summer day, at the end of the work day, to, like, pack up all their work clothes in a plastic bag and carry it with them down the river and float home.
Love that.
Oh, that's awesome.
I've only heard of it happening.
That's very susical.
It's very susical.
Yeah.
And is that something like, does Switzerland get, would there river freeze in the winter or is it?
Not in burn.
Okay.
It's like.
But you wouldn't want to go too big in December regardless.
Right. It's like the same
climate as here. Oh, really? Yeah. So you could
tube year round. I mean, uh...
Yeah. But you wouldn't in the winter. You couldn't tube here
in the winter. Too cold. Yeah. Yeah. Do people even tube the
Fraser? Um, I don't know. I only, I only know
the bow. That was, that was our river. Do people tube the bow?
Oh, people tube the bow, man. In Calgary proper?
Calgary proper. They jump off of the bridge in Fish Creek Park. Oh, right into the
water. So cold. So dangerous. What was the bridge?
similar to the viaduct?
Uh, yeah, except that it was, uh, it's the current day
Rome, it's the water we get around, uh, we were told
numerous times by all sorts of people in authority, not to jump off that
bridge, but we couldn't help ourselves.
I didn't jump off anything as a kid.
No, not a, I mean like, the couch, but like, yeah, I, I was, uh, I don't know,
I guess I was afraid of heights and also just not that strong a swimmer, like,
and just afraid of not knowing what's, how deep the water is.
Yeah, well, always the, the, the, the, the, the, I was afraid of the, the,
The one that had been, and the peer pressured into the group to going first was kind of the, uh, was the test subject.
The guinea pig.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Adults are always telling you to not jump off bridges.
And I've jumped off many a bridge.
I'm doing great.
Yeah.
Well, they're actually not, they tell you, they ask you if all your friends jumped off the bridge, would you?
And I think in this case, you do, because you let the first people, your friends find out of it safe.
Oh, yeah.
You jump off.
I'm not, uh, I'm not going first.
And like, the other thing is we would do sometimes.
Does you ever, like, jump off, you know, like rocks where waterfalls were into a body of water below, something like that?
We never really had that just because.
That doesn't exist.
It doesn't exist.
Saskatchewan doesn't have a rock.
I did canoe up a waterfall in Saskatchewood because in grade 10 every year, there's like a grade 10 canoe trip up north, like a week-long canoe trip.
And at one day, you just stop and it's like a rest day.
But there's really beautiful waterfalls.
And all the teacher is just like, someone go canoe up the waterfalls.
And it's never a good idea.
You can't make it, of course.
But that's part of the fun of it.
I got to say, I really miss the, like, at this grade, you get to do a class trip.
Yeah.
Sort of thing.
They were always so special.
Yeah.
The only one that we did that really stands out is we did a thing that where you got to stay on a boat for a week.
Out here, out on the coast.
Oh.
Um, and it was, uh, it was called, what was it called?
The free water.
I mean, something like that.
And you were on about, you like, learned about sea cucumbers and stuff like that.
It was fun.
You did it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Out here?
Yeah.
You should have come said hi.
Oh, I didn't know, uh, I didn't know your address at the time.
I know your current address, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, yeah, uh, I feel like we had, uh, times when we'd jump off a thing, uh, where
We would have to, like, walk back without our shoes and stuff, right?
Like, that was kind of the stupid.
Oh, yeah, over rocks?
Yeah, over rocks and, like, no, we never were smart enough to leave one person behind to, like, throw down our shoes to us.
Yeah, or, like, wear those, like, water shoes.
Yeah.
Because those are ugly.
Yeah, water shoes suck.
And they don't work, especially if you're walking across sharp rocks, the water shoes aren't going to help.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're just plastic.
um did you have uh it sounds like you had a pretty good like i disagree actually i was i was going along with you i think they helped
um what uh what other like when you were in high school what what is a country bumpkin do in high school
uh i was i was a martial artist in high school there we go that was the one thing that i did that
was kind of separate from everyone else i was the only one doing that would you study i started
Shukukai karate.
Okay.
Which is, what is that?
It's a form, it's an offshoot of shootukai.
Yeah, idiot.
It's stupid.
You didn't know that?
It actually, I'm going to try to remember all this stuff because I haven't thought about it like 15 years.
Do you ever have a karate dreamtie dreams still?
You never dream you're in karate?
No, I dream about going back to it and being a master.
That'd be pretty cool.
Yeah.
Lord over those 12-year-old.
I'd love to be the karate kid the next.
generation, I think.
I think that's already, the position has already been filled.
Yeah.
Anyway, get us to take us back to Shudokai, Shooka Kai.
So Shooka Kai was an offshoot of Shudokai, which started.
What about Shaka Khan?
We only did it while listening to Shaka Khan, of course.
And I think that it's started.
Shooter Khan, let me run you.
Let me run you. Let me run you. Let me run your chute a car.
Hey, sorry.
This won't happen again.
Please.
It started in Vancouver, the offshoot.
Oh, hey.
And then the original started in Japan, and then one of their students started their off shoot here with four other original students.
That's what I can remember.
I only remember is to get the black belt.
You'd have to come to Vancouver and perform with the actual, the people who started the first students of the original creator of Shukukukai.
It's another Japanese thing that started here, the California.
Your role.
That's right.
Delicious.
I guess that makes sense that like, and then I guess one of the students from there just
moved to Saskatchewan and was like, I'm going to teach.
Yes, it was something like that.
Like, well, of the students of the students, it all branched down eventually.
My sense was Sensei Glenn.
The wise old, Sensei Glenn.
Wise old, Sense Glenn.
He also taught me how to tie a tie.
Very nice bad.
Oh, wow.
And his sensei was Sensei Gus, who lived in a neighboring town.
And then say Gus.
And then Gus was from Vancouver, and he was one of the original students of, well, the original students.
Wow.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, uh, how many Guses have you known in your life?
Just the one.
Actually, two.
The mouse was Gus, Gus.
So I guess three.
Well, I don't know that you knew the mouse.
I had a mouse that I fanned in my room in college.
He was, that named Gus, Gus.
Um, is that true?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
You'd be the worst roommate ever.
Stop feeding the mouse.
You're doing the opposite of what we want.
I've only known one Gus as well.
I've never met a Gus.
You knew a Gus.
I know Gus went to college with a Gus.
Shouted to Gus.
Have you ever used it, this karate situation?
No, definitely never.
I've seen lots of videos.
Let's do this day.
I've seen videos where people try to use martial art against somebody in a fight.
and they just get clobbered.
Because they, like, do a spin kick,
and the guy's like,
I'm just going to grab you by the nuts.
And just sandbag them, you know what I mean?
Yeah, exactly.
But, like, have you ever, did you ever chop anybody?
I've never been in a fight.
No.
Never been in a fight?
Never been in, like, a street fight or a real fight.
Did you ever say, yeah?
Oh, all the time.
Yeah.
Not a real real.
Yeah.
Did you break any boards?
I broke a lot of boards.
Did you really?
I broke my friends.
ribs in a sparring match once.
Oh, wow.
And I broke all my fingers.
I basically broken all of them.
This one, you can see, doesn't stop in the middle.
Oh, yeah.
The viewers will, listeners will love that.
Listeners, just imagine.
Imagine move of your finger and you can't stop it.
You can't stop it between this way and that way.
It doesn't do, it doesn't do a smooth wipe.
It clacks into the lower position.
Yeah, like a drawbridge.
Yeah, sure.
Now, what's the deal with breaking boards?
How does that...
How does that...
You'd be honest, are the boards fake?
Oh, the boards were absolutely fake.
At least for some of them were.
Really?
Yeah, oh, yeah.
I knew it.
Or like pre-broken or...
Like, probably like weaker boards or weaker wood, quality wood stuff.
But, I mean, it felt good doing it.
You're not chopping through, like, old oak or this is...
Particle board?
Going through a Fender Stratocaster.
Just random objects.
There's a video of a guy trying to do the world record of chopping coconuts in half.
Man, he doesn't get even close.
Just when he starts losing track of one, like they just keep not breaking.
Have you ever cut a coconut in half?
I never cut a coconut.
I did do bricks, which actually did hurt quite a bit.
Cinder blocks?
Never cinder blocks, but I did see.
Sensei Gus did like
Good old
Sense Gus did like a
I want to say it was
six inches of ice
like solid just frozen ice kind of stuff
and he broke that
which was pretty cool to watch. I mean I know
it probably isn't as impressive as
I mean it's all impressive like I
I have no
such a low pain threshold that
yeah I couldn't punch through
like it's not even like I
I'm not saying I
that the fact that I have a low pain
threshold means
I am strong enough
it just would hurt too much
no none of that I couldn't
do it and it would hurt and
I would give up
yeah and it's like
did you
it was a chop or did you kick
anything you kick some boards
but it was mostly chop and mostly punch
mostly hands and like side
of your hand yeah you gotta get
yeah the wrist
and like does your hand is your hand all bloody after
or no no I never bled
how he just broke fingers
just broke
broke my nose
really badly one time
in it
you're not supposed to do
with your nose
man even I know that
yeah that was the
Was it your friend
who after you broke his ribs
He was like
I'm coming for your nose
No it was a different guy
Different guy completely
Name names
Brandon
Brandon
Sensei Brandon
Son of a
Son of a Gus
Were your pals in it
I didn't have any
Of my school friends
I had no friends
It was a very
lowly existed.
No,
none of my like school friends
were in it,
but I did make friends
with the other kids
that were in it.
They were just from neighboring towns
so we didn't.
Oh.
Because I drove to,
I went to,
Lemberg was the town I went to,
which is like a half hour
away from Walsley.
This reminds me of
when Napoleon Dynamite
went to that,
like the 4-H?
Yeah, no,
the self-defense class.
Yeah, was Sense A-Rex.
Is that what his name was?
Yeah.
With the America pants?
Yeah, Diedrich Bader.
Yeah.
Um, the, uh, uh, so you didn't have anybody to kind of like chop it up with that recess or anything like that.
No, no. I was, I was known as the guy who did karate in school.
Did you ever do it in a talent show?
Oh, awesome talent.
Oh, I did at, in when I was like 10 years old at Bible camp.
They had ended the week with a talent show.
And they just knew they did karate.
So they're just like, well, you can do something.
I'm like, okay.
And they like gave me.
You start writing a poem.
They gave me a stick, and I just kind of twirled it around like I just knew how to the fight with a stick to...
Here's a stick and go.
I believe the song, Where's Your Head At by Basin' Jacks?
Oh, there was a song.
They put on a song, and I did know how that goes, Graham?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
And it's just me spinning a stick around.
Wow.
Who else was in the show?
Do you remember?
Oh, I do not.
I do not remember that show specifically.
This was Bible camp, you said?
Yes.
Was that a yearly excursion?
Yes, yes.
A week long Bible camp, Camp McKay.
I don't think exists anymore.
It had a lot of violations.
They did have enough life jackets for everyone.
So anytime you went out canoeing, one kid just didn't have a life jacket.
Stay away from that awkward.
Yeah.
This is a canoe heavy childhood.
Yeah.
Yeah, did you ever portage?
I did, portage.
I never portage.
You portage?
I hardly canoed.
Go on.
More about your rustic childhood.
Well, I'll tell you this.
I'm not technically from Wolseley.
Okay, this is, this is, because I've been hearing.
Yes.
There's been rumors like, this guy's not really from Wolseille.
Yeah, yeah.
This is the expose.
I'm actually from Ellisboro, which is.
such a small community that it doesn't
count as a community because it
consists of two
churches, a town hall, my
family, and two other families.
Oh, wow. But it is one of the first
European settlements in
Saskatchewan, so that's why
it still has like a bit of heritage
around it. Right. So that it
still appears on maps and stuff.
But we can't
count as a town. So,
does anywhere actually been blown off the map?
Um, is that what that expression?
Yeah.
Small little towns where they experimented with the atomic bomb.
I'm sure they like blew up old towns.
Yeah, but that's like historically significant.
Put it on the map.
That's true.
Um, you, uh, there's two churches in this one town.
There's two churches at a town hall.
There's almost as many churches as there are families.
And is it like opposing religions?
Are they all the same?
Uh, they were, one is a Catholic church.
One is a Lutheran church.
They're not used anymore.
They're just more of like for tourists.
attractions. You can grow marijuana there.
You can grow marijuana there. There's a big house.
Big church.
We had a movie film there once.
That was pretty big news for the town.
What movie? It was called Hungry Hills.
Very bad. Very bad movie. Very boring.
There's a tragically hip song about
shooting a movie once in my hometown.
Yes. Everyone was in it from miles around.
What kind of Elvis thing, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Tragically hip,
these boys.
Yeah.
Um, so, uh, uh, you, when did you move out here? And was it like, wow, the big city.
Yeah. Had you ever seen, uh, you know, a driver, like?
Or a bus bench, something like that.
I saw an elevator for the first time. That was pretty good.
Cool.
Your first time on a mezzanine.
I keep digging. I love the idea of someone's first time on a mezzanine.
Yeah, when did you move out, or did you move to another city and then moved to it?
So I moved to Regina.
I went to film school in Regina for five years, for a four-year degree, and then I was there for seven years, and then I moved out here eight years ago now.
Okay.
Yes.
And what, do you make any films?
I did.
I worked on a few films.
I worked on another Wolf Cop, the sequel to Wolf Cop.
Yep, yeah.
If you do watch another Wolf Cop, you will see my bare ass in it.
Oh, nice.
Yes.
What's Wolf Cop won?
So Wolfcop is a story of a cop who becomes a werewolf.
That's about it.
That's the full story.
And it's like so low budget that it made a ton of money.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it was like a big, there was like a competition of some sort.
I can't remember Seneca coop or something like that, where the biggest, most votes for a certain project would get a million dollar budget to make the film.
Right.
And Wolfcop won because they filmed the transformation.
scene, which started with the man's penis.
Which you'd never seen before in a werewolf movie.
So they answered the question, what happens when our werewolf's penis transforms.
We were all wondering.
Does it get lipstick?
Yeah, Red Rocker.
It turns into a werewolf penis.
All right.
Say no more.
Yeah, exactly.
The, I think, is it Gowen, you're a strange animal?
Yes.
That's in that movie.
During a sex scene.
I thought you were going to say that.
Oh, no, Moonlight Desires.
the one.
Yes.
Oh, well, they would both work.
They, who's that, Moonlight Desire?
They're both Gowan.
Because Gowan appears in another Wolfcop.
Oh, does he?
Yes, because he started getting people to come up to him with, like, Wolfcop being like,
can you sign this?
And he had no idea what it was about, and then he watched it.
Apparently, he was a big fan.
So he asked to be in the sequel.
Nice.
Yeah.
Gowan for listeners who don't know Gowin.
Yeah.
Study up.
He was a Canadian singer.
Is a Canadian.
singer. His hits include
Strange Animal, and
Moonlight Desire, not to
mention cosmetics,
and, oh,
there's one about being like a prisoner.
Oh, I only know the big. A criminal mind.
And then he became the lead singer of
Sticks. Oh, really?
Yeah. That's, I didn't know that that was,
I didn't know that connection. Yep.
Gowan. Wow.
His stuff's good. I like it.
Kind of very, very from the
80s.
I use as Peter Gabriel's backup band on that album.
Really?
Wow.
You know so much about Gowan.
I'm kind of a minored in Gowah.
When you were, for your program, you have to learn how to write a movie, make a movie, and then what are the other two years for?
You study different areas like you start off with just like a basic general overview of what film is and like stuff like that.
You'd have to do film studies and everything like that.
Right.
What's your, what, like, did you, do they show you like classic movies?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they showed us lots of classic movies.
What's your favorite, like, old-timey movie?
And by old time, I mean, 1989 or earlier.
Paris, Texas is my favorite movie of all the time.
Yeah.
I actually have a Paris, Texas tattoo, which if you guys could see.
Yeah.
But the listeners will love that one.
It's a lady's face.
It's a lady's face.
And torso.
Yes.
And I'd have to say brief encounter.
another one of favor of mine.
It's close encounters of the third kind.
He just doesn't have crazy.
It has aliens in it.
They fall in love, but they can't be it together.
But, yeah, no, I remember taking, like, documentary you'd have to take everyone.
Like, they'd have one year of documentary only and then one year of narrative film.
It's very different from the film program out here because the Regina one is really,
about film studies more than they really emphasize like the artistic side of things and less
the commercial how do you make a movie and make money at this side of things you uh did they
make you watch in the nook of the north they did yes yeah which uh famously have you ever seen it no
it's it's a documentary where they go and meet um a group of what at the time we're called
askimos uh another called elks that's right that's a deep cut for any cfell
But there's a scene or multiple scenes where they're, like, presented with objects from the new world.
And they don't know, like, they're using, like, a record player and, like, looking into a right.
Is this a narrative or a documentary?
Documentary.
Okay.
And then it turned out, like, oh, those guys had all that stuff.
They were, like, just pretend you don't know how to use this.
Yeah.
It was probably their stuff that they were.
I think so.
And he also was like, oh, can you go, like, hunting seals with, like, the traditional spears,
stuff.
They're just like, we don't do that.
What are you talking about?
Yeah.
So, like, here's somebody.
It's like, okay, I'll go do that.
It's, uh, that was one of the ones.
What else did we have to learn from the documentary?
And do you use this in your day to day?
You use a lot of your Nunnuk knowledge?
Yeah, yeah.
Anytime I'm about North, I say, uh, what's your favorite scene from a nook?
Play a game boy.
Can you play a game boy?
All right.
Oh, you got your own game boy.
Oh, cool.
Oh, what would be somebody from the North favorite Game Boy game?
Probably tubing.
Tubin.
Tubin.
Yeah, and you finished?
You got a degree in film?
Yes, I did.
Yeah.
Congratulations.

they don't have kangaroo i don't think they got uh the bird what's it called a kiwi bird
Kiwi bird.
Yeah.
That's the real reason I'm going.
I really want to eat one of those birds.
Sounds delicious.
I want to see if it tastes like the fruits.
Oh, yeah.
Do they have the fruit there as well?
No, those are technically Chinese gooseberries.
Oh, man.
Fuck.
I know.
I do.
It's the worst.
Do you guys like a kiwi fruit?
I think I'm allergic.
I don't enjoy the whole situation of scooping it out.
I love that.
You love the mechanics of it?
It's like a soft boiled egg.
It is like a soft boiled egg.
But it's, uh, yeah.
I eat them and my mouth gets itchy.
But I think a lot of people do.
Yeah.
So I don't think I'm allergic.
I think that's just the way it is.
Yeah.
I love a good Kiwi.
Yeah.
I don't have them often because they're expensive.
But they remind me of my grandmother.
My grandmother would always give me Kiwis to eat.
You remind me of my grandmother.
She was a small brown egg-shaped lady.
She was green on the inside.
Yeah, she was fuzzy all over.
We're looking at that.
for a grandmother. Can you give us a description
of her?
Let me just get a sharpie. I'll get you.
I'll get you some from the fridge. I'll just draw your face
on this kiwi.
From the fridge, yeah. Those are those
counterfruit? I think they're a counterfruit.
Yeah, I'm a
man, I bought a melon and I'm not making my way
through it like I thought I would. A whole
watermelon? No, a cantaloup.
Oh, I love a candle. Bring it over.
Yeah, I should have brought it with me.
Oh, man. We
we, yeah, we've been buying
watermelons. Yes. Yes. A full one's too much.
And it's, you have to eat it too fast. Yeah, that's the thing. It's fruit.
Yeah, I've got a pineapple that I ate some of before coming over.
I'm not sold that that is, that it didn't start fermenting into alcohol, but
or whatever things happen to. A pineapple. Yeah, they rot.
I think they just turned black and go back. Well, Sally, like, chopped at them. She's like,
okay, we got to eat this right away.
And I was like, how was it so yellow and juicy?
It was, oh, it's absolutely delicious.
Yeah.
But, uh, tick, tick, tick, we've talked about how I usually just buy the pre-cut ones.
Yeah.
And this year, they're, they've been bad.
I think there might be some kind of, maybe they were affected by the tariffs or something.
Yeah.
But they've all just been like white.
Have you had any peaches yet?
Yeah.
Yeah, I had two this past week and they were fantastic.
I've been had, they've been having mixed reviews.
views mixed results with my
peaches. Yeah. Sometimes fantastic.
Sometimes. Just
bland. Yeah. What's your
fruit fly situation this time here? Not too bad.
Yeah. Mine either. I'm saying I'm pretty good
so far. You? I don't have a fruit, so
no fruit flies. No fruit for you? No fruit.
Sometimes they'll just go around your sink.
Yeah. Hmm. What do you,
why don't you have fruit? Uh, I've been
very bad, uh, in buying
any groceries because I'm just like, I'm
moving. I don't want to
I didn't want to have it.
Green bananas, hell, though.
Oh, yeah.
Are you slowly getting rid of all your stuff?
I've gotten rid of a lot of my stuff.
Yeah.
I had a collection of 1,200 movies, which is now almost all gone.
Did you have paris taxes?
I did have Paris.
I still do have Paristexis.
But it might not work there because they got the NCTS.
NC17.
Everything has to be.
NTSC?
NTSC, the, yeah, the different.
I'm not.
forget, my sister's letting me store some things with her while I'm away, so she's keeping up...
Hey, can I store 1200 DVDs?
No.
I store 500 DVDs, yes.
Blue rays DVDs.
I'm keeping all the Blu-rays.
All the Blu-rays made the cut.
What else makes the cut for keeping?
Just go through the other 499 movies.
Mostly Blu-ray stuff.
Some CDs, which had sentimental value.
Sure.
Like the first Billy Towel, which was the first CD, I was gifted.
Oh.
And then mostly like family heirloom kind of stuff, Pokemon cards.
Sure.
I come from a long line of my grandma was a Kiwi.
My dad was a Sharazard.
Well, you know what?
That makes sense.
That tracks, yeah.
You like, did you get rid of, like, your bed and stuff like that?
That will be going within the next month.
month. By the time this episode comes out, I will not have a bed.
I'll be bedless. Where are you going to sleep for the last few days?
So on the tour, just crash get various people's poses. Right. You're running on tour.
And then I'm here for like 10 days between when my tour ends and when I leave. And that's also just a couch time for all Rory.
Oh, yeah. Oh, but you still got your couch. No. Other people, sorry, other people's couch time.
I got you. I can't do it anymore. I can't sleep on somebody.
couch anymore. Too rough
awake up. Do you ever sleep on your own couch?
I have done, yeah, when it's hot
and put on that air conditioner. Yeah, or when you're
at a fight with Sally. Yeah, I'm in the dog.
Well, you guys in an actual doghouse
that we have in the living room. That's true.
Kinky.
Yeah, usually it's a fun thing, but when I get in trouble,
little boy, oh, what? Rory, who's your favorite
Gilmore girl? I'd have to go with Rory.
Yeah, the one that I know of. Yes.
Yeah. Yeah. Are there
any other famous Rorries? I know there's
Rory Scoville.
Past guest, Rory Schoval.
There's Rory Cochran, who was on CSI Miami for a while.
Sure.
I don't know that.
Yeah, who's...
Going to look up Rory Cochran.
Is he the guy that was in Empire Records?
I believe so.
I think he was also in Dasey Confused.
Yeah.
He's a, he's always got a sour pussy.
Do you have a picture of him smiling?
I don't feel like he smiles a lot.
In Dacing Confused, he's the...
Look at the blood stains.
Yeah.
When they're climbing up the thing
Back, backwards hat
And they like pot
Oh boy, oh boy, did they like pot in that movie
Not, you know, like your dad
Yeah
My dad really liked pot
Yeah
Would he rip it out of a bong or was he a joint guy?
No, he was a joint guy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Did he sing it in a song?
Would he smoke it in a ball?
Very susical
It's Dash Rip Rock, remember?
No
Yeah, you remember
Um, he's from, oh, crap, Dash Rip Rock is from...
And the Flintstones, maybe, but no, um...
The band Dash Rip Rock had the song, let's go smoke some pot.
Oh.
You can sing it in a song, you can smoke it in a bog, smoke a pot, pot, pot, pot to pot.
You're making this up right now.
No.
You remember it.
We've talked about it.
I don't know why I'm forgetting.
I've been smoking too much pot.
Um, did you, uh...
So, like, in most families, if you get caught smoky pot, you're in trouble.
were you in trouble if you abstained?
I am the only person in my family who abstained.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah, I've never, I've never, uh, spoke pop before.
Oh, you could have been one of their greats, though.
I know.
I could have been, I could have been the next Cheech and or Chong.
Uh, but I, my dad, he never really had a thing to say about it.
He did, he smoked weed for my siblings all the time.
Uh, I don't know when that started when they were teenagers or whatever, but he never
really had anything.
He was very disappointed.
when I started drinking, and then he was very happy when I stopped drinking. He hated drinking
a lot, yeah. So, but still to this day, never smoked pot? Yeah, correct. Wow. Okay, really,
the black sheep of the family. Yeah, they don't talk to me anymore. Yeah, fair enough. You're
moving to New Zealand. Exactly. Yeah. Well, that's bold, man. It's bold to move to a country
who you don't know anybody and don't not set up at all. I'm excited. I want to be amongst the sheep.
I feel like I could be a shepherd pretty well.
I can see as a shepherd.
Yeah.
Get one of those hooks.
That's what they have to cook.
To eat.
Yeah.
It's lamb.
Lots of lamb.
Lamb chops.
Mutton.
Those are the big three.
Lamb-wise.
I know on Hell's Kitchen, the lamb's always raw.
It's raw.
He's fucking raw.
Here's my other favorite thing is he goes,
fuck off, leave me alone.
leave me alone
it's funny
I only know the famous people from New Zealand
who
left
they must have their own celebrities in New Zealand
I have to imagine so
yeah well we'll find out
come back in two years and tell us
the state of
the celebrity seed in New Zealand
and also like all the things you buy there
like the milk will taste weird
and you know like the chocolate bars
will be weird
It will come in, like, tin cans.
Yeah, lots of tin.
Yeah, and, yeah, it's just like that first couple weeks is going to be, who knows how you dial a number down there.
Exactly.
Yeah, you have to dial nine to get out.
Do they drive on the other side?
They do drive on the other side.
Okay.
I'll take a little getting used to.
Yeah.
But it'll be fun.
It's a funx veteran.
I've never lived in another country.
I haven't traveled a ton.
You'll have to go to Google.com.
NZ.
Mm, yes.
Oh, that's going to be pain.
Yeah, it's, oh, the other thing when I was growing up
when we went to Ireland, they get, they probably don't anymore,
but they would get movies late.
Oh, sure, yeah.
New Zealand gets movies late.
Yeah?
I know that, yeah.
So by the time you're there, Superman might just be coming into theaters.
Ooh, I can be the first to watch it.
Wow, this new kid's pretty cool
He was the first guy to watch it here
And I saw him a puncher's through a brick earlier
Kind of like Superman himself
Have either you guys seen Superman?
I have
Yeah, me as well
You Dave?
No.
No Superman.
Will you go?
Do you think?
I would have to have
My kids would have to want to go.
It's,
I would say it was suitable for kids
Well, they have no desire.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like that they leaned into the supermind's dog narrative.
And what's its name?
Zappo.
Crypto.
Like the currency.
Zappo, like the shoes.
To a retailer?
Yeah.
Yeah, I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it.
It was cartoony.
Yes, very a cartoony.
I liked Lex Luthor.
I can't remember the actor.
Nicholas Holt.
Nicholas Holt.
He's a really good Lex Luthor.
He's really good.
Really good, Lex Luthor, really good guy who owns Amazon.
Same person in this movie.
Oh, Bezos.
Bezos.
He was kind of a Bezos.
He was very Bezos.
Oh, I hope remembering people's names isn't important in New Zealand.
Me, too.
You.
My name's Crypto.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's, it wasn't like, you know, the other Superman movie?
were, like, so serious.
If you say so.
There was a character that asked why so serious.
It was a different movie.
I guess he used to cross over with Superman.
But in this Superman world, there's so many superheroes.
He's just, like, one of many superheroes.
Nathan Philean wears a funny wig.
Right.
Yeah.
It's worth it just for the wig, really.
Yeah, the wig's pretty good.
Yeah.
What was your favorite thing from the movie?
I liked Skyler Guasano as Jimmy Olson, who is,
is a legendary stick man in this one.
All the women love this man and he hates it so much.
Legendary stick man?
Have you never heard the term legendary stick man?
No, have you?
No.
It just means like a player.
A guy who sleeps with lots of women.
Wow.
He doesn't like it?
No, he's constantly beginning flirting with by this one girl that he can't stand.
But she's the lead to his story.
So at one point, she's like, I'll give you all the information if we get to spend the
weekend together and he kept on he's just like how much of the weekend yeah and he saves her name
in the phone as mutant toes mutant toes some fun little jokes in the movie yeah yeah uh big popcorn
film you know exactly yeah um uh would you ever as being a film that would you ever collect
those popcorn never yeah no popper container yeah you know oh the one they have now he's like
in a glass like box yeah he's like punching his way out yeah yeah
It's these popcorn buckets.
I know.
Why do they do that?
Give me a big, nice plastic cup.
Yes.
Then I can use it for smoothies.
I can bring your Deadpool thing to the theater and fill that up.
Don't fill up a paper one.
You can use the popcorn buckets for smoothies.
Yeah, that's true.
Just a really big smoothie.
Swinging it around.
Yeah, I went and saw a movie with past guest Alicia Tobin.
and for some reason I ordered a large soda, so big.
They're so big.
I don't know why I did it.
I usually got a small or a medium, but it was like large and extra buttery.
Too buttery, extra butter.
I agree.
Yeah, too greasy.
Do you ever add candies to your popcorn?
Yes, indeed.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, I also do.
You as well?
I love it.
M&M's or recently Reese's peanut butter.
Well, Graham's an allergic person.
Yeah, I do M&Ms.
but I could see because the Reese's
that would just kind of
it would really coat it.
Yeah, exactly.
It melts all over the point.
Yeah, that sounds good.
I do M&M peanut generally.
Yeah.
Oh, so it's like another crunch.
You've got two levels of crunch.
Mostly so Graham doesn't steal your popcorn.
Yeah.
But I am always encouraging him
to dig deep into my popcorn bucket.
I think there's a bit more in there for you.
You're not still hungry?
or you're saving it until a movie starts?
I wonder if that's just an urban legend
or if somebody actually did it at one point.
Somebody must have done it at some point.
Yeah,
would bucket or bag work better?
Because they only do bag.
They only do bags now, yeah.
You know what we're talking about?
Yeah, sticking your penis to the bomb.
Yeah, he's a legendary stick man.
Yeah, you know, maybe, I don't know.
I don't know if people are still doing it.
I hope not.
The problem is, what do you do?
Like, do you bring a knife?
Are you tearing it?
Are you taking it with you into the bathroom?
Or are you taking dick karate classes and you're smashing your foot with your, breaking your dick fingers.
Yeah, and also, you know, if you're waiting for it to get that low in the bag, you've got that boner going for about 45 minutes.
Let it rest.
Oh, wow.
45 minutes.
I don't make it through that.
the coming attractions.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, wolf and down.
Sorry. Ejaculating attractions.
That's why they're called that.
Try to convince your dates that she only wants a small popcorn.
And she's like, no, I want a lot.
It's just like, no, we don't have that long.
We also, it's going to make other things look small.
Let's just get the smallest popcorn.
Okay, well, can we get it with so much hot, hot butter?
Scalding.
Lots of salt.
Can you put extra salt in there?
No, no.
Some of those ketchup, like, powders.
Disgusting.
And I don't mean the penis part.
I mean, those flavor powders that you can get.
Oh, my God.
No, would you ever put a flavor powder?
I like the white cheddar, but I don't do it very often.
Okay.
Yeah.
The dill pickle is the head scratcher for me.
Who would want that much dill pickle taste?
Yeah, I don't want any dill pickle taste myself.
I'm not a big pickle guy.
I feel like they were a novelty when I was a kid.
but not the pickles the pickle chips oh yeah
yeah right like the pickle chips were kind of
but I don't need a lot of chips I only like novelty ones
um what's your favorite novelty chip
Dorito Cool Ranch no I guess I don't really like novelty ones
they had pizza ones I remember that they hostess had pizza ones
I want to try apparently there's like a Doritos after
dark
Dorino sexy
Oh god
I'm trying to
I'm gonna Google it
But it's like
It's like
It's like plate of nachos
It's like tastes like a plate of nachos
That sounds pretty good
But it's like
Doritos after dark
But that's not what I
Why do I call it after dark?
No that's right
It is Doritos after dark
And it's kind of got like a lazery logo
Yeah
But they have a bunch of versions of them
But one of them is like
replicates like nachos with whatever cheese and tomato and sour cream and whatever on top.
It reminds me of like in the 1970s when they had like sci-fi movies and be like,
you can have a full meal in this little tablet.
But we've only put it on,
we've been only be able to put it on chips now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we haven't got to tablet form.
And it does not fill you up at all.
You know what you're going to experience down in New Zealand, a whole world of new chips.
Oh, yeah.
Trip chips and gravy.
brown brown chips oh yeah pot pie chips yeah and what are the ones that everybody
it's not like worst to sure but it's something like oh like marmite yeah oh yeah you're
gonna really hit the ground running marmite wise marmite marmite is marmite or vegamite or both
veggie mite is Australian I don't know if it's made the the crossover yeah I think it died
in the swim over with the kangaroos thank God those kangaroos made it over delicious
delicious
Kangaroos.
Have you ever
eating a kangaroo?
I have eating kangaroo.
And?
It's good.
It's pretty good.
It tastes like meat.
Okay.
I like meat.
They call the meat.
I love it, but I don't eat it.
Yeah.
I was thinking today I just could not remember what venison was.
I was like, is it buffalo?
Is it?
What is it?
It's deer.
It's deer.
But I couldn't remember, like sometimes the meat and the animal don't have the same name.
Like chicken is chicken.
And beef is cows.
Yeah.
Pork and bacon and ham.
It's all pig.
Yeah, and then turkey and goat.
That's just those.
But kangaroo is just kangaroo?
I believe, yes.
They called room meat.
Ro meat.
Ro meat.
Dave, what's going on with you?
Well, I'm staying in Canada.
Yeah, you're not, you've canceled your trip to where were you going to go?
New Zealand.
Here's what's going on with me.
A couple of things.
Had a couple of boring dreams.
Oh, yeah.
Yes. Now, you've listened to the podcast before.
Yes.
You know about Dave's boring dreams?
I don't.
It's been a minute.
Okay.
So, my, I have boring dreams.
And when I remember a dream, it's never an exciting dream.
It's always, my most famous example is I had a dream that my travel agent was retiring.
That's why you can't go to New Zealand.
I mean, there was a crisis.
I was like, how am I going to go?
Yeah, exactly.
It can't get a good deal.
Here's for the dream I had two nights ago.
I was at a restaurant with Spencer and Heidi from the hills.
Oh, that's not boring.
That, to me, is pretty, that's top tier.
And then Spencer insists, we were sitting inside.
It wasn't very busy, and he was like, we got to, let's sit outside on the patio.
And I was like, no, trust me.
And then we went outside and it was raining.
You don't trust Spencer.
He's an idiot.
No, Spencer's good people.
Um, the, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, were you in Beverly Hills? Is that where they were from? Beverly Hills?
I guess I could, I could have convinced myself I was in Beverly Hills. I love, did you, do you remember what you ate?
No. We never got our food. Oh, like we just sat down. And then you woke up. Oh, ha, ha, oh. Oh, yeah.
The other one was I was supposed to sing and play guitar at an open mic.
And I was like, a little nervous because I didn't know what I was going to do.
and I hadn't practiced
But there was no time to practice
But there was time
I kept thinking there wasn't time
And then like
I never ended up on stage
But like so much time passed
And I was like well
Any second now
I don't have time to practice
Because I're going to call my name anything
And I never did
Did you ever in real life
Do an open mic with guitar
Hey little mama
Do you think that I maybe did
Whoa
Really good
Thank you
You know what
You're getting an extra spot
You can go into another spot.
Oh, thanks.
Oh, thank you.
Motherfucker.
So those are two quick dreams.
The other thing, I also watched the beginning of the Billy Joel documentary.
Oh, yeah.
Called the Nook of the North.
Yeah, you're just trying to play a piano.
Yeah, do you know what to make of this?
And I really like a music documentary.
I really liked the Eagles one that was four hours
And the Tom Petty one that was four hours
Is the Billy Joe one?
It's only the first episode has come out
And it was two and a half hours
Wow
I think it's a two-parter
He just watching that
So much good music
You know
This is a fun
Fun documentary to watch
Did you watch it?
No, but I'm excited
I'm excited to who
It's on Crave
He I think made an appearance on Bill Mars
Podcasts
Club Random
Yeah
of random and like...
Did he smoke a cigar the whole time?
Well, Bill Maher smoked a doobie?
Uh, Bill Maher was smoking something,
and I think Billy Joel's a vape man.
I think he had a vape in his hand.
But it looks to be...
He's either smoking a cigar the whole time
or a vape that looks like a cigar.
Yeah.
Smoking a cigar the whole time
during an interview of Power Move.
Big Power, let me just bring out this big stogie.
Now, the thing I will say about, uh, the documentary,
he actually, he is a piano man.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, he, uh, somebody once showed a picture of him playing a concert with his harmonica and that it looked like Darth Vader when they first put the helmet on, when they take the helmet off.
Well, they keep showing like, he's not, I'm going to get canceled for this.
They're not the best looking guy.
Yeah, but he was managed to get Chrissy Brinkley.
That's true. Uh, but he's like, every picture you've seen of him, those are the best pictures.
available because in this documentary they pulled out the old ones and he's like in the middle
of a blink in every picture that's just how his eyes are yeah yeah um are you a billy joel man
i i'm not a billy joll man oh really i know very my my family didn't listen to much music
uh why did you watch much music i i did watch much music uh but so so a lot of like the
older like classic rock classic pop from like the six sexes 70s 80s i know very little about
actually because i feel like you inherit a lot of that from your parents or at least i was born
91 so i would have i got into billy joel because of uh we didn't start the fire i feel like that was
the first billy joel sure thing where i was like this is cool the follow boy song yeah yeah yeah
the one and the same oh i hope they ask about this hey you like that they continued on your
I hope Fallow Boy releases a new one
Yeah, every two years
Oh, Cogan blown away
What else do I have to do?
And we'll get to that later
We absolutely will
Is the first episode of it really good?
Yeah
Yeah
You could do this about any musician
And I'd be like, this is the best thing
I've ever watched
Yeah, is he
Because I've always thought the Billy Joel
Was he funny?
Huh
I don't think so
No
I feel like
Maybe it seems weird
That a guy like
Billy Joe would take himself
Super seriously
But yeah he's not
But that I
Think you're right
That he doesn't take himself
Super seriously
But he's not funny
Yeah
Okay
So like
He's not like
A stiff
Did were there any like
Hot Goss
Things in it
Backstage shenanigans
Or
Well I'm not
Through the first one yet
So that's mostly
about like
actually it just really doesn't start
like he doesn't talk about like
I took piano lessons or anything
it starts right off with
they wanted me to be in their band because I was the best
piano player in town
and then he and his bandmate
he steals his bandmate's
wife oh really
Billy yeah
they break up
and then he's like
oh I guess I'm kind of a piano man
and he
oh he he
he gets in a big dispute with his record company
and he's not allowed to perform publicly
so he goes and like performs under an assumed name
at a lounge and all the people are like
man what are you doing here?
It's like you should be a big star and he's like no I like this
but it's all wow it's like the genesis of piano man
really? Yeah am I having a false memory that he wore a piano
tie? I feel like I'm picturing wearing a piano
Let's look it up.
He definitely wore a lot of neckties.
Yeah, and I know he wore, like, for sure, like a knit tie, that kind of skinny, skinny tie.
Nope.
No, no visual proof of that.
I also am picturing him being on the huge piano from Big, but I know that didn't happen.
Anyway, check him out.
He's Billy Joel.
He's one of the great piano men.
Yeah.
And wasn't he doing, like, a residency where he was playing every night?
I think he plays a piano.
Madison Square Garden once a month.
That's so crazy.
But he also, I think he...
Well, I'm off to Madison Square Garden for my monthly concert.
Yeah, don't drive.
Oh, yeah.
Is there anything but it's horrible, horrible driving skills?
Yeah, I think there's something impairing his driving skills.
Anyway, he...
I'll watch the rest of it later, and when we record in a month, I'll have more to say.
Are you a documentary man at all?
I do like some documentaries.
I wouldn't consider my...
Like, if you name them, I'll watch them kind of thing.
The Tom Petty, good documentary, you've seen it?
I haven't seen the Tom Petty one.
What about the Eagles one?
I have not seen the Eagle one.
Those are the big two.
Yeah.
The Rush one.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
There was a good, um, uh, Twisted Sister one was really good.
There's a go-go's one.
Gotta check these out.
Yeah, these are, uh, these are, you, are you a rock fan?
I'm more of like a punk guy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So you'd watch a no effects documentary.
A no effects documentary.
I watched one called the,
Father F word, which was about punk guys that are now dads.
So, yeah, it was fun.
Yeah, it was fun.
Have you seen what's it called the decline of Western civilization?
Yeah, I have.
That one's a great one.
I like that one a lot.
It's a trio.
It's punk rock, then heavy metal, and then gutter punks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's like a, like, they're all two hours each, right?
Yeah.
Six hour kind of run.
Six hour run there.
Yeah.
Yeah, punk music's awesome.
Mm-hmm.
But, yeah, this is now.
this is the time now that we'd be making documentaries about these guys
because you got to get them in there before they die
Exactly
And the other thing I did is yesterday I went to the Anza Club
Oh cool
You'll be familiar with it you're going to
I'm joining the Ansac Club
Yeah
The NZ part
And because there was a live show by this
Instagram account that I follow
Oh cool
Called canada.gov.com
Good name.
It's a guy who does like pop culture, Canada, history, and, you know, posts about Rita McNeil and stuff like that.
And so, you know, I went to the show and you get there and it's a slide show.
Okay.
Of like a bunch of kind of Canadian, like, factoids and didn't really know what to expect.
Yeah.
Was he, sorry, is he a musical guy?
He's, no.
He's just a...
Just like a Canadian fact guy.
Yeah, but he also like doesn't reveal his identity on his page.
Oh, but then you got to see him.
Oh, yeah.
And oh, a feast for the eyes.
He wasn't wearing like a zodiac mask.
No, he's just a guy.
It's just a guy.
Okay.
But it was very fun and he told us about, oh, there was like a theory about Brian Adams and Princess Diana having an affair.
Oh, okay.
Shed some light on that.
Yeah.
He told us about this guy.
Do you know, do the show Raccoons?
Yeah.
Cyril Sneer is the bad art bar.
He's got the little like tat like faucet nose.
A guy who was arrested and then took off his clothes and started and put his penis between his legs and turned around and started jumping up and down and sent to the cop.
Hey, do you remember Cyril's sneer?
And then while he was bent over from behind, the policeman was like, wait.
What's that?
And the guy had drugs stuck up his butt.
Yeah, so not the best mule in the biz.
No.
And then like the history of the Canadian tuxedo.
Oh, fun.
Yeah.
Bing Crosby.
Yeah.
After he was turned away at the Hotel Vancouver.
There's a.
There's a plaque about it in the hotel Vancouver.
And then the other thing was, do you know the Canadian artist Alex Colville?
Yeah, that sounds familiar.
You'll know some of the paintings, I think.
Like, this is a famous one with the woman with the binoculars.
Oh, yeah.
What I didn't know that I saw in the show was that four of his paintings are in the shining.
Really?
And they're never explained, like, no one knows why it's in there.
And what they symbolize, but...
Well, he was the one who painted the sets for the Moonlandings.
So, yeah.
When I think about the shining and art, I just think about that giant...
Naked lady at Skatman Crothers Place.
Yeah.
That's currently, that's what I have on my wall.
Oh, Sally hates it.
Yeah.
But what's she going to do?
Yeah, exactly.
Well, you keep sleeping on the couch because of it.
Until you get rid of the fucking paint.
I don't care
Or photograph
I'm remembering a photograph
It might have been a photograph
Or just like
A hyper realistic
Mm, that's luck up
Scatman Grothers
Naked lady
Did you
Was that one of the movies
You had to study in school?
I don't think we watched in school
But I have seen it lots of times
It's very good
It's very good
Yeah
I recently watched the documentary
On all of the conspiracies around
Is it called room something?
Room 237 something that?
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
It's really bad.
Is it a painting?
Yeah, it's hard to tell.
If it's a painting, it's photorealistic.
He's got a pretty sweet set up there because he's got two,
he's got like two lamps like you would have in a hotel, but he's by himself.
So that's, you know.
And then there's another painting above the TV.
Yeah.
Or poster or whatever.
And his TV also has two lamps next to it?
Yeah.
Huh.
It's almost like a meticulous art designer
Designed his room
Huh
Huh
But yeah, that's
Anyway
That's fun
Yeah
Fun thing to go to
And you know what
It was great about it
Was it was at 6 o'clock
Yeah
So you ran out of there by 730
Yeah 730
And then
In bed by 8
Well I think like while you're out
On the town
Over by Main Street
A little bit of Dairy Queen
On the way home
Oh I should have done Dairy Queen
Yeah
Seems unusual that you didn't.
You're not feeling well that day?
It didn't occur to me, yeah.
The one day you weren't feeling well, you didn't go to Derek Queen?
I guess so.
No, usually I feel good every other day.
I eat Dairy Queen one day, then I feel terrible the next day.
And then I eat Dairy Queen and then I feel terrible.
But I feel great on those days I'm eating Dairy Queen.
Right up until I eat it.
No, I kid.
Dairy Queen, you're number one.
Number one.
What's your favorite thing for Dairy Queen?
I'd have to go
Classic Oreo Blizzard
If I had to
Under pressure
Classic Oreo Bulls
And you are under pressure
Yeah
Graham's pointing a gun at you
It's under the table
Old West style
Yeah
Is that peanut buster parfa
Is that from Dairy Queen?
He sure is
Is it good?
It's fine
Is it
What is ice cream with chocolate
And then nuts?
Yeah it's like soft serve vanilla
Chocolate sauce
And peanuts
Not like a peanut sauce or anything
I don't think so
I think it might have a peanut sauce
I can't remember for sure
Let's look up the food menu from Dairy Queen
And this is
And yeah and how it jives with the Canadian food guide
How many things
We want burgers and sandwiches
Just chicken baskets
Meal deal
I think I want
Treats
There's Blizzard treats of plenty
And of course classic treats
Vanilla cone
Chocolate dipped cone
crunch and cookie dipped code, which is blue.
That does not sound classic.
No, it's not classic, and it's not as good as the regular chocolate.
Then you've got your classic Sundays.
The one with the red one looks like a murder scene always.
I always thought it looked like blood.
And then no pineapple Sunday.
You should get that.
Oh, yeah.
No whip.
And then you've got banana split.
Peanut Buster Parfay.
Yeah, it just looks to be peanuts on fudge.
I didn't know you could get a banana split there.
Oh.
Yeah.
They got everything.
Wow.
They are the queen.
That's true.
Yeah.
Yoss.
Um.
They say.
And of course, uh, dilly bars.
Dillie bars.
Dillie bars.
Non-dairy dilly bars.
Buster bars.
Hmm.
I'm gonna buster bar.
Um, I told you about the guy at the dairy queen, the employee when it was like exactly
nine o'clock.
Oh.
He just turned off the lights.
This is closed.
Good for him.
Yeah.
Get the fuck out.
Yeah.
This is closed.
Well, Dairy Queen, we salute you, and we salute Canada.
Yeah.
Yeah, Canada is good enough.
What's going on with you, Graham?
Oh, Dave.
It's time for my favorite.
Only last time ever.
I think first of all, I need to do some celebrity birthdays.
Shut up, Dave.

About a dozen of these
Of Hulk Hogan themes?
Yeah
Do you have another one?
Maybe you're ready to go?
Shut up!

It's Hulk Hogan News.
Whoa, okay.
It's Hulk Hogan News.

That was nice.
That had a little stank on it.
Yeah.
They're all very good.
Thanks to everyone who sent these in 15 years ago.
Oh, Okoond news.

Hell yeah.
Polkoan News.
Polkoan News.
Polkoan News.
Polkoan News.
Polkoan News.
Polkoan News.
Oh, Kovokin News.
Brother.
Brother.
I feel like that could have been in Fight Club.
That, that knows.
The Dust Brothers.
And so this comes out at the end of August.
Yeah.
It's still dead, I assume.
Um, as, as listeners of the show know, uh, from back in the day that, uh, I grew up, a Hulk Hogan man and you've only grown to love him more.
Yeah, he's just gotten better and better. Everything he says just puts him in higher, higher steam. Um, but grew up, do you, were you a wrestling guy growing up?
I, I had a wrestling video game, but I didn't watch wrestling. So I, I knew some of it. That's the way to do it. Yeah.
What a wrestling video game?
It was WWE Royal Rumble for the Sega Genesis.
Okay.
Yeah.
Was Doink the Clown one of the characters in that one?
No.
Oh, okay.
Was Sean Michaels in it?
Sean Michaels was in it.
Stone Cold?
No, not Stone Cold.
Sega Genesis is great.
So Hulk was in it.
Hulk was in it.
Or is the barber beefcake?
No.
Undertaker was in it.
The tax man, IRS man.
Oh, that hasn't aged well.
You had a Sega Genesis.
This is even though you were born in 1991?
Yes.
This is a country bumpkin.
Yeah.
You're older than you probably shared a birthday with it.
Yes.
Yeah.
Is that a good joke?
I don't know.
We'll review it.
We'll watch your cameras.
Yeah, the, so grew up loving the Hulk Hogan, vitamins, prayers, the whole shebang.
You could, he was like the original merchandise guy.
for the WWF, like, he was the first
guy to, like, turn it into, like, a kid's
you know. Did you watch the
Saturday morning cartoon? Rock and wrestling?
Absolutely. And you know
who did the voice of Hulk Hogan?
Brad Garrett. Oh, cool.
Yeah. He had, like, an extensive
kind of voiceover career before he
became, Rapeont.
Yeah, he does have that
voice. That was explaining his career.
So,
watch that, would watch him.
You know, he wasn't like a guy who'd
do the weekly show. He was only a main
event guy.
And then, you know, it turns out
all these years later, a lot of people
testify that he was a bad
bad guy. He was a union
buster and
he would, he wouldn't give a... I ain't afraid at all
unions.
It was a really good 80s mashup.
But he
yeah, at the time,
unbeatable, he was the face
and then in the 90s,
switched over to being a bad guy
in more ways than one.
Yes, and then in the 2000
became even worse.
Yeah.
And as you,
maybe the listeners don't know,
he was always a guy
very tanned, very tanned, very oily man.
Yeah, maybe the listeners don't know.
He was a,
who was described as a condom full of walnuts?
Or was that on the switch on here.
I think past guest Ryan Beale would
say that he was a hot dog man
that he was a hot dog man.
Yeah.
He was hot dog
colored
Maybe flavored
And had red and yellow
Accessories
And ketchup of a mustard
Yep
What did I say
Red and yellow?
Oh red and yellow
Yes
Ketchup and yellow
Yeah
Never a relish
He didn't have like a green
No
Ring he would wear
Or something like that
Just it
Anyways
No one had a green ring
Well there was one guy
And then
You know
He
I stopped watching wrestling when I was a teen.
Be honest.
I got back into it as an adult, but, yeah, there was a hiatus where it was too, it's too dark, too dark for me.
I liked it silly.
And so, and then Holokogen, he just wouldn't stop wrestling.
His age progressed.
His ability to wrestle didn't, and he had a lot of surgeries, but he still couldn't
give it up. He still, if
he lost, it was because somebody cheated
him. Right. He would never lose, honestly.
And even
then, he would like, I got my foot, my foot
was on the rope. You know, you counted me out,
ref. And then he always got that championship
belt back. But a lot
of people hated him, like in wrestling.
A lot of people. Sure.
Andre, the giant famously
hated him. And
he would, the thing
called like putting somebody over,
right? It's what, an
Older wrestler would like, okay, I'll let you win.
Oh, okay.
I don't think you ever put anybody over.
Now, we did it for years.
Well, not years.
I feel like it lasted a year.
Yeah.
But every week, we would, whatever we were doing, usually overheardts would get interrupted with celebrity birthdays and Hulk Hogan News.
Yep, yeah.
Whose birthday is it today?
Still waiting for feedback on that, by the way.
But, and we would learn new things.
things about him every week.
Yeah.
He was a big part of the show.
Oh, by the way, he's dead now.
Yeah, he's dead now.
Yeah.
So you can, but the fact that we're recording this a month before it's being released,
you can stop.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What I assume is people are like sending us messages being like, do you guys not know about
this yet?
My, uh, my phone was blowing up this morning.
Um, but he, uh, yeah, in the past a couple of years, he goes, he was racist guy.
Yeah, he was racist.
they had that sex tape that I won't hold that against him
yeah no he's just unfortunately
he was so full of sushi
why thought it was pasta yeah somebody pointed out that
everybody thinks it's pasta but it was actually sushi
because he had pasta mania
and that's why I think people
do you know any of this pastamania
no
Hulk Hogan had a restaurant in the
Mall of America the past guest
Kulapvi Lysok worked at
called Pashtamania and one time
she was there and run to your macho
Man Savage was there as well
and the two of them
had a past eating contest
Hulk and Randy
Not Google
Let's do
We're gonna make you put
Macho Man in his place
And then he had a sex tape
Which is what led to the
Like gawker being shut down
Yeah
Yeah there's a little documentary about that
If you're
I do know the sex tape gawker stuff
The past stuff I was unaware of
Oh sure
sex tape he does he's he can hear him saying oh i'm fat i'm a pig i feel like a pig because
he's so full from i guess a sushi dinner and then he uh sushi i don't find very filling well if
you eat enough of it it's true but boy pasta really fills me up i could not have sex after
being too full of pasta no i know and he's not just having sex with just anybody it's with
this pal's wife yes who apparently like really dogged him for years like
Come on, Hulk.
With that atomic leg dropped a good use.
Yeah, I'll take you up for all you can eat sushi and then go home and have sex with my wife.
Show us the little Hulkster.
Come on.
Apparently.
It was big.
He got the name Hulk because he was on Kirk Douglas had a, is that right?
Wasn't there a guy that had like a TV show Michael Douglas in the 70s?
Anyways, he was on with San Francisco.
That's the one.
There was a talk show, and I can't remember.
Oh, Mike Douglas. Yeah.
And he had Lufriigno on, who was the Hulk.
And Hulk Hogan was on, and Hulk Cohen was so much bigger than Lufriigno.
He started calling himself the Hulk.
He had to pay royalties to Marvel for the rest of his life.
Really?
Yeah.
And his life is still happening?
Yeah.
As of this recording.
Not anymore.
Oh, okay.
But we're not counting out some sort of resurrection, because this could be a whole wrestling thing.
He definitely did that.
a lot.
Yeah.
He thought,
was there
a word for that?
Uh,
a work.
A work.
So he looks like he's about to lose.
Yeah.
It's,
uh,
like he,
you know,
it's a storyline like,
oh,
Hulk goes dead and then at a,
uh,
a main event,
he'll come out.
He'll come out.
I'm still alive.
But as far as we know,
this is not a work.
As far as we know,
he's dead,
but.
Oh,
and on the,
the Canada.
the Canada.gov.
C.A.
show I went to.
He taught us about the Voros twins as well.
Mm-hmm.
Who were the wrestling.
Devinky twins.
Are they Canadian?
Yeah, they're from here.
Shit!
Last time Cole Cabana was on the show, they picked him up.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They, were they?
The twins that were the twins that were the twins that?
No.
What twins were that?
Those were the Island boys, I think.
The Island boys, yeah.
That was their claim to fame, is that they were, what, brothers and they would kiss each other in the mouth?
I just know that they exist.
I'm not sure.
I didn't investigate much further.
I saw them because they was just like, that's enough for me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You ever kiss a sibling on the mouth?
Wait, do you have siblings?
I have multiple siblings.
I have not kissed them on the mouth.
I haven't kissed my birth siblings on the mouth.
Well, let's not write it off.
Did you say your birth siblings?
Did you specify your births?
Sure, my adopted siblings, yeah.
My step siblings, of course.
But my birth siblings, no.
My half siblings, they get a little peck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, yeah, he's the last big thing he does as a celebrity was
endorsed Trump
Teared off a shirt
It had Trump
2025 under it
And that's what put
him over
That was it
Yeah
And many of our
Trump over
At many of our live shows
You've ripped off
Your t-shirt
Yeah
There was one
I wonder if there's video
Of the one
There's definitely photos
Of the one
With Harry Conalubu
And
And where you just
We could not get
That shirt off you
It's
Because the thing
That I learned
When
Creating a rip-a
shirt, you have to cut off the neck
ring or whatever,
because that is not going to rip.
No, no.
And so, I think it was
Max Van Conn East.
Yeah.
You started ripping it off.
It wouldn't come off.
And we tried to help you,
and it really kind of hurt.
Yeah, it really hurt my neck.
There was one where you,
I think it was a Max FunCon,
where you ripped off like multiple shirts,
like layers and layers and layers.
And he in his later day,
would have...
Later days, bruh.
He would have
with all the deck ring
and everything cut off
and then there'd be also
circles in the back
which I think made it even easier
for him to rip.
I'm not going to do it right now.
I don't have any circles
cut in my...
Rory, come on.
If anybody can do it.
It looks like a pretty new shirt, though.
Yeah, that's what I was good.
This is a nice shirt.
Okay, it's a one of nice shirts.
Yeah, so we wish
the best. It's a bummer. It is a bummer. It's a bummer. He never redeemed himself.
Yeah. And he, it's in our eyes, maybe in your eyes. He's the best champ ever.
Very model of a modern major general. He's got information vegetable, animal, and mineral.
The, but yeah, he, we don't know all that, we know, maybe a cardiac arrest, nothing's been confirmed.
Oh, yeah. I never get, remember when people were like, what happened to Gene Hackman?
Oh, yeah.
I don't really want to know.
Yeah.
Release the Hackman files, everybody was saying.
No, sorry, Gene Hackman.
But one of my favorite all-time's whole-time Hulk Hogan's things is when he was in court for the Gawker thing, he wore a black bandana.
It was a little more somber.
Around his head.
Yeah, around his head, yeah.
I think we speculated about formal Hulk Hogan wearing a tuxedo with nose sleeves.
Which I'm sure he did at one point.
Oh, sure.
He was recently remarried from like three or four years ago, away from his wife that was part of his reality television franchise.
Hogan knows best.
I always thought that my dad kind of looked like Hulk Hogan.
Oh, yeah?
I think it was mostly that they both wore bananas and had glassy eyes from smoking a lot of weed all the time.
I think those were the only two similarities.
Did your dad wear the bandana, Hulk Hogan style?
Yeah, all the time, yeah.
Okay.
Hey, that is very, I don't, I think I've ever known somebody who wore Hulkoken style.
Yeah, handkerchief.
But yeah, wearing the black one was the best.
This is serious business.
I put it away the red one.
Your honor, brother.
I'm taking the stand today.
I'm going to put away the Hulkomania one.
Anyways, a life well lived.
Yeah, he had it all.
He had it all.
I could have.
And anybody could have in the last few years of life gone and met him.
He had, like, a store in Palm, Palm Beach, Florida.
Yeah.
And you could go there and he would sign a picture or a belt.
I think past guest Steve Bays went and got us some merch.
Yeah.
He got a signed a headshot.
I want, I got to get a new headshot.
I'm going to do exactly the same as all cozy.
Maybe like a beer coozy too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyways, I hope the store sticks around.
Shout out to Brooke and his son.
Nick, yes.
But yeah, that's it, man.
So you want to move on to some overheards?
Sure.
On Judge John Hodgman, the courtroom is fake, but the disputes are real.
Brian would say, I'm the Gumby of this family.
He's just not.
Claiming to be Gumby is an ungambi-like claim.
No, it's just Gumby and I being are authentic selves.
So what's your complaint?
Too many sauces?
There are no foods on which to put the sauces.
Have we named all the sauces on the top shelf yet?
Not even close.
You economize when it comes to pants.
Truly, it's not about the cleanliness of the pants.
Well, why isn't it?
This is what I want to know.
Judge John Hodgman, fake court, weird cases, real justice.

It's hard to explain what happens on Jordan Jesse Go.
So I had my kids to it.
Say square words.
Saying square words.
Yeah.
Bad jokes.
Bad jokes?
Bad jokes?
Maybe it's like you tell people that you're going to interview them and then you just stay there like really quiet and try and creep them out.
It's just really boring.
Because of Jordan, right?
Not me?
Because of both of you.
Oh.
Subscribe to Jordan Jesse Go.
A comedy show for Grona.
I'm overheard.
Overheard's a segment of the show where, you know, Dave and I, we're hard up for these, but we always love when the guest brings one.
And if you have one you want to send in, you can send in it to SBIY at maximumofun.org.
Roy, do you have an overheard?
I do. I do.
I recently went out for a sushi lunch by myself.
Oh, no, you didn't have sex after you.
I hope you didn't overeat.
I was going to have sex with my friend's wife.
You got to prepare.
Yeah.
And then you got a carbola.
Like, you're videotaping this.
I'm going to make it a big performance.
Did he know these big videotapes?
I don't think.
I don't think so.
No, I think that was part of it.
Right.
But, you know, if you're going to get Alco going to have sex with your wife, you're going to want a memento from that, you know.
of the video, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Not just a rip churn on the floor.
Yeah, or whatever sushi, like,
leftover.
He didn't leave.
Anyway, go ahead.
Yep, gone.
So I was out for sushi by myself,
and there was a table beside me
of four college-age women,
and they were talking very loudly
about their sex lives
and their friends
and all the boys they were seeing.
And one of them, at one point,
I wasn't fully listening,
by her one of them, like, listing off names.
And it turns out they were,
were like names of guys that asked her out but she said no to sure and uh one point she
says and then brandon and while the other girls was just like oh i thought brandon was really
nice and then she says yeah he's five six how nice can he be oh yikes shot fired above the bow
wow wow yeah um it's tough people are taller now i think the reign of the short king is coming
to an end i feel like yeah it's been a hard battle they've had it too good for too long
Hull Cogan, 6'7.
Whoa, really?
Yeah, isn't that crazy?
But because he had all these surgeries on his back, he shrunk.
I think he was 6'5.
I think I remember, yeah, he lost like two inches, at least 2 inches.
I don't remember.
Because, like, Andre the Giant was a giant, but Hulk Hogan was also a giant.
Yeah, he was also a very big man.
I feel like when I was a kid that Andre the Giant was the tallest man.
And tall men, maybe it's just because I grew up in Alberta or something.
There were no tall guys.
there was like two guys at my high school
who were like tall. Yeah, I think there's only
two kinds of people from, there's only two things
from Alberta. There's steers.
Yeah. I forget the other one.
Tiny guys. Yeah.
After every overheard I'd like you to go
as a Hulk Hogan fact. Okay. Absolutely.
I, uh, how tall are you, Roy?
I'm 5'7. 5.7.
How nice could you be though?
You have to be extra nice.
I have to be very nice.
I think, I think I hover somewhere around 5'8,
But when I was growing up, that was considered average.
And now I feel like it's considered a short.
5-8 is like the average height of a man.
I look it up every day.
Oh, yeah.
Just to make sure.
So I am the shortest you can be, the tallest you can be,
while still being short, which is my claim to thing.
And yeah, there's a, yeah, I feel like with dating apps,
that's when the rise of the tall guy.
It'd be cool if all your weed smoking siblings
for like six, eight.
What are I doing wrong?
My brother is six, four.
Okay.
But both my sisters are like five feet tall.
So, yeah.
Fair enough.
Easier to kiss them on the month.
Dave, you're in the sixes, are you?
You're six one?
I'm maybe five, eleven, and seven, eight.
A change.
Yeah.
There's a great Instagram account where this guy goes to gyms and says,
how tall are you, and then they actually measure them.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
90% of the time.
guys lie.
Yeah.
But once in a while, there's...
And they lie by it quite a bit.
Yeah.
Because this is what the ladies want now.
They want to...
Well, because if you're dating people solely on an app...
Yeah.
Then you just need data.
You're a data collection device.
That's true.
And you're just there to be like, well, I'm ruling you out.
There's a...
Sometimes you would come across a profile.
Usually a woman, but not necessarily.
They would have a profile that started kind of with like,
look okay here are the rules did you like before phones like people dated but i don't think
dating was like like you would just meet someone at a party or at school or someone and you'd
go out but like the idea of like online dating was weird yeah and now it's been normalized and
that's fine but i just feel like it swung so far that like people are just like meeting strangers
and going out on dates which was just not a thing you would do you would go on a date
It was someone you had met.
Yeah, and it was the classifieds where people would...
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, like looking for love.
That's where one of my uncles met one of his wives in the classifieds page.
Really?
Yes, yeah.
They did not last.
I was going to say, it didn't really stick.
Yes, yeah.
That's what the Pinia Coletta song's about.
About cheating on your wife with your wife?
They both post wanted ads, I believe, and then they respond to each other,
but they're married to each other, yes.
But aren't they both disgusted with each other
because they're both planning on cheating?
Yeah.
So, if I'm tired of my lady,
I was tired of my lady,
something.
And so he writes the post,
if you like Pia Colottas,
is it getting caught in the rain?
If you're not into yoga.
And you have half a brain.
And you have half a brain.
Why would you say that if you're married,
like, or with your partner,
unless the partner is into yoga and stupid.
You're like, I'm so sick of my stupid yoga wife.
I don't want to be part of any yoga wife's time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It just says you're random detail.
You have that.
You know you have that already.
I never knew that about you,
that you're not into yoga and you have a brain.
And then what was her ad?
Was that also read in the song?
Is she making love after midnight?
Is that still him?
Maybe she didn't have an ad and she just responded to the ad.
Oh, maybe I got that wrong.
Okay.
Maybe, yeah, she saw the ad responded to.
But she knows this.
If she respond to the ad, she is into yoga.
So why would she respond to that ad if he said, if you're not into yoga, she would...
And we're the first people to examine this down, yeah.
It's one of Combe's ice.
If you're not into yoga and you have, have a brain...
If you're like Megan, love it midnight to a dude and a cape.
That I'm the love that you've looked for.
Write to me an escape.
Yeah, okay.
Then in the early 90s, there would be video services where you get a tape of people.
Oh, yeah, dating like a tape of like people doing two minutes of crowd work.
But yeah, there was a spoof on Mad TV called Lowered Expectations, was the name of the company.
Um, have you done any of the, uh, social apps?
I'm on all, I've been on all the dating apps.
Yeah.
Any luck?
No.
I mean, I've had dates, but I, I also just don't take it seriously enough to actually,
mostly, because I'm moving to New Zealand, so I'm just going to.
That's true, yeah.
I don't know, you get one last, uh, kick of the can.
Yeah, well, I'll take a lover for the summer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The time's running out, though.
The thing about summer loving happens so fast.
Look up those lyrics
Yeah
But she never writes an ad
She's responding to the ad
Yes
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
Wow what a curvy face on this broad
Yeah she's like the elephant man
Wow
She was my own lovely lady
And she said
Aw it's you
Then we laughed for a moment
And said I never knew
That you like Pinia Coladas
etc.
But yeah, what would you do in a date?
Is this like coffee, would you show up or grab a drink?
I've done coffee dates.
I've done just general walks.
I like to go for like ice cream treats.
Nice.
I've taken them for, I have a friend who has puppies.
I'll take them to go pet the puppies.
That's right.
Yeah.
Do they have perpetual puppies?
Yeah.
Oh, sure, okay.
Yeah, I was on the, it was before there were ones where it was like,
the woman has to instigate or whatever.
Yes, Bumble.
Bumble.
And then what's Hinge?
What was the deal with Hinge?
Hinge, it's like you can respond to anything.
You can, like, respond to a photo or any of the questions they answer directly.
Oh, okay.
So if they answer one question that you like,
You can be like, oh, I like this one.
I have half a brain.
No, do you have a half a brain?
I literally have half a brain.
It's left side brain looking for right side brain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One, yeah, can we function as one brain together?
Dave, do you have an overheard?
Sure, I do.
So this was, I think, a couple having one of these dates.
Oh, really?
It was an afternoon, a couple outside of a Starbucks, and a man and a woman, a young, early 20s, a man and a woman, and I was just running in because I ordered a little treat for my children on the app, and I was running in and running out.
And as I walked past this couple sitting outside at a table, I just heard the woman say, so then God didn't create the world?
That should be on your profile, man.
I'm not going to sit here in mansplained.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And also, geez, that's a big, it's a heavy one for a first date.
Yeah, I don't know if it was first.
It was early on, though.
Yeah, yeah, they didn't have that kind of comfort and, uh, sure, easy rapport.
Yeah, was there a Christian?
I guess there's Christian Mingle.
Yeah, Christian Bumble.
And then.
Plenty of Christians.
Yeah, plenty of Christians.
I mean, plenty of fish works if you're Christian.
Yeah, loaves.
Yeah, plenty of loaves and fish.
there's plenty of loaves in the pantry they would say huh uh my overheard comes courtesy of seeing the
superman film and before the film they showed a trailer because it's Jod's 50th anniversary yeah i saw
that's coming to iMacs yeah and i think we'll go go see it because uh i love that movie and
it's this week did you oh really this week of the show's coming out oh okay good it's in a month
is that when you studied in film school?
I didn't study in film school.
Jaws was the first movie I saw post-COVID in theaters at the Rio.
Okay.
Yes.
It was great.
Yeah.
Then it wasn't your first time watching.
It was my first time watching.
Really?
Yes.
Wow.
Okay.
What do you think?
I love it.
It's amazing.
It's amazing, right?
I look, I want to look like Richard Dreyfus in that movie.
Oh, sure.
That's like a good look.
Yeah.
All three of those boys on the boat.
Yeah.
Ooh, quint.
Hibba, hubba.
but they show the trailer
Most famous line from the movie
Gotta get a big boat
You're gonna need a bigger boat
And the guy behind me said
You know they never did
Did they not need a bigger boat?
They need to run
They didn't get one though
That's true
And it was
If you've seen there's a documentary
About the making of jobs
So funny
It's the funniest
movie have you seen it i haven't seen the dog i just know the stories from this movie said are
legendary yeah just how awful it was for everyone involved except a lot of the crew uh were able to
get lots of girlfriends because they were working on a movie they wanted to go on forever oh yeah
camera guys and lighting guys yeah they cleaned up then what do you mean like oh you're working
on a movie yeah you're working on the movie that's oh wow oh you're something of a stick man
I'm actually a best boy
But yeah
It's a
It's great film
And if you've never seen it before
Check it out
Yeah
It's called Jaws
It's got his 50th anniversary
Although I really should see it
The beginning of summer
It's more of a
Yeah
It's not like a fall movie
What's the best fall movie
Legend of the fall
Why would I even ask
I think people
really like Harry Potter, the Harry Potter movies
those are comfy fall movies. Yeah, I got
you know what, this year before the year is out, I'm gonna watch
the Harry Potter film. Yeah, you love it. Yeah, I've got to
haven't and it's, it's time. Now, yeah, it's definitely
the less probably, least problematic time to do it. Yeah, she's really doing her
whole code years currently. Um, now we also have
overheard sent into us by people all over the map. If you want to send one in,
sending it into SBIY at maximum fun.org.
And this first one comes from a kid at outdoor camp.
Okay.
Generalized outdoor camp.
This is, I was a parent chaperone taking an elementary school to outdoor camp for a few days for the end of school field trip.
As we were driving away on the bus, a kid who had obviously had a good time was yelling out the window.
I love you camp.
And then turns to his friends to go, what's the name of this camp?
you didn't go to camp I know that
what the hell are you talking about
when you were a kid
I went to camp many times
but to sleepover?
Yeah
Oh I didn't know that
Yeah you did
What was the name of the camp
Well the one in the summer
I went to a bunch like camp
Elphinstone and Keats camp
Around the islands around here
With my class
Right
And then in the summer I went to a Bible camp
In Bellingham, Washington
Called Camp Furwood
Okay
And it had a giant hill.
And there were two naughty boys on the first week of camp.
It was like grade sixes.
And these boys who were like gangsters, day one of the camp, they both stuck their fingers down their throats.
So they would throw up and see whose barf would go further down the hill.
And like, everyone else is like, you know, dressed in like camp gear.
These guys have like baggy pants.
On the last day of camp, and we did a skit.
These are two of my favorite stories.
We wore, like, ours was, we did that sort of like, Dorfond Golf, like, little...
Put your shoes on your knees.
Put your shoes on your knees and pretend you're tiny.
But we had backwards clothes on, and we did a sort of a criss-cross thing.
And the two gangster guys were like, you know, our friend who died used to dress that way.
I hope you're not making fun of our friend.
And we were like, no, we've never met your friend.
What of it
I am making fun of your dead friend
Anyway
Yes I went to camp
Do you go to camp?
I did I went to camp
You probably wet your freaking bunk
Yeah
That was the first night
I was like
Oh god
Now I'm the guy who wet the bed
And you wet it so far
I went down the hill
Come on guys
Compete with me
A camp River Edge
Which my parents didn't know
Was a camp
A YMCA camp
For troubled youth
so day one
somebody had smuggled in a knife
big knife
threw it at where I was sitting on a log
and it landed like
not too far from my crutch
I think these two boys' parents
thought they were sitting there
kids too on camp for trouble to you
they puked out of the hill
it's one of the best stories ever really
and all the counselors
just being like what do we do
they're like just
they don't stop
they're just 20 year old
councilors. I had a friend
who they'd go to scout camp every year
and it wasn't a full scout camp until my friend
Phil threw up and like just
naturally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then one year he did
very violently and they were like, this is the best year ever
his appendix had burst. Oh no. He's fine. Phil's fine. He didn't
die? Nope, he's out there. He works. He's in
Halifax. Oh, hey, Phil.
We love you, Phil.
I hope that your appendix
grew back
Yeah
This next one comes from
Jason and Washington
Two kids, maybe 10 walking by
Jason and Washington
That's the
scariest
Oh the Friday of their dacles
Yeah
I had to kill all those grunge guys
Oh I thought Washington
Oh he went and killed
Politicians
Yeah
Jason in the White House
Yeah
He's legislating
On the machete

There was one that was like a branded podcast by J.P. Morgan.

There was the Amy Polar one that's existed for two months.
This is all time, though.
