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
Starting point is 00:01:40 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
Starting point is 00:01:58 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
Starting point is 00:02:15 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.
Starting point is 00:02:34 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.
Starting point is 00:02:51 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.
Starting point is 00:03:05 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?
Starting point is 00:03:20 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.
Starting point is 00:03:37 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.
Starting point is 00:03:58 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.
Starting point is 00:04:21 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.
Starting point is 00:04:49 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.
Starting point is 00:05:05 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
Starting point is 00:05:23 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,
Starting point is 00:05:49 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.
Starting point is 00:06:20 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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.
Starting point is 00:06:53 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?
Starting point is 00:07:14 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.
Starting point is 00:07:35 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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.
Starting point is 00:08:13 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.
Starting point is 00:08:32 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.
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:09 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.
Starting point is 00:09:38 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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?
Starting point is 00:10:17 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.
Starting point is 00:10:39 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.
Starting point is 00:11:00 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.
Starting point is 00:11:19 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.
Starting point is 00:11:49 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.
Starting point is 00:12:08 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.
Starting point is 00:12:27 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.
Starting point is 00:12:38 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.
Starting point is 00:13:08 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
Starting point is 00:13:25 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.
Starting point is 00:13:54 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.
Starting point is 00:14:14 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?
Starting point is 00:14:31 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.
Starting point is 00:14:51 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.
Starting point is 00:15:19 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.
Starting point is 00:15:39 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.
Starting point is 00:15:58 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.
Starting point is 00:16:12 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.
Starting point is 00:16:26 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.
Starting point is 00:16:43 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?
Starting point is 00:17:02 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.
Starting point is 00:17:11 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.
Starting point is 00:17:25 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.
Starting point is 00:17:44 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.
Starting point is 00:17:59 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...
Starting point is 00:18:15 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.
Starting point is 00:18:39 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
Starting point is 00:18:56 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
Starting point is 00:19:11 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
Starting point is 00:19:24 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
Starting point is 00:19:38 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
Starting point is 00:19:50 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
Starting point is 00:19:57 No it was a different guy Different guy completely Name names Brandon Brandon Sensei Brandon Son of a Son of a Gus
Starting point is 00:20:07 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
Starting point is 00:20:19 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,
Starting point is 00:20:26 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?
Starting point is 00:20:37 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.
Starting point is 00:20:46 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.
Starting point is 00:21:13 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?
Starting point is 00:21:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:47 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.
Starting point is 00:22:02 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.
Starting point is 00:22:18 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.
Starting point is 00:22:37 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
Starting point is 00:22:50 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.
Starting point is 00:23:06 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.
Starting point is 00:23:23 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.
Starting point is 00:23:38 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.
Starting point is 00:23:52 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.
Starting point is 00:24:09 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.
Starting point is 00:24:39 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.
Starting point is 00:24:58 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.
Starting point is 00:25:17 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.
Starting point is 00:25:41 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.
Starting point is 00:25:57 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.
Starting point is 00:26:09 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?
Starting point is 00:26:23 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.
Starting point is 00:26:36 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.
Starting point is 00:26:50 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
Starting point is 00:27:06 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.

Starting point is 00:43:48 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.
Starting point is 00:44:02 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?
Starting point is 00:44:23 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.
Starting point is 00:44:37 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.
Starting point is 00:45:15 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.
Starting point is 00:45:31 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.
Starting point is 00:45:56 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?
Starting point is 00:46:05 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.
Starting point is 00:46:17 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.
Starting point is 00:46:28 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.
Starting point is 00:46:49 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.
Starting point is 00:47:08 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:48:09 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.
Starting point is 00:48:25 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.

Starting point is 00:51:43 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?
Starting point is 00:52:05 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.
Starting point is 00:52:25 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:58:26 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.
Starting point is 00:58:47 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.
Starting point is 00:59:04 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...

Starting point is 01:00:42 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.
Starting point is 01:01:10 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.
Starting point is 01:01:30 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.
Starting point is 01:01:52 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.
Starting point is 01:02:21 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.
Starting point is 01:02:45 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.
Starting point is 01:03:01 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.
Starting point is 01:03:25 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?

Starting point is 01:04:20 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.
Starting point is 01:04:39 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

Starting point is 01:09:41 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.
Starting point is 01:10:20 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.
Starting point is 01:10:30 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.
Starting point is 01:10:42 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?
Starting point is 01:10:56 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
Starting point is 01:11:18 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
Starting point is 01:11:34 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
Starting point is 01:11:50 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,
Starting point is 01:12:07 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,
Starting point is 01:12:23 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
Starting point is 01:12:38 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
Starting point is 01:12:47 And ketchup of a mustard Yep What did I say Red and yellow? Oh red and yellow Yes Ketchup and yellow Yeah
Starting point is 01:12:54 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
Starting point is 01:13:03 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.
Starting point is 01:13:28 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
Starting point is 01:13:51 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
Starting point is 01:14:06 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.
Starting point is 01:14:21 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.
Starting point is 01:14:42 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
Starting point is 01:14:58 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
Starting point is 01:15:19 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
Starting point is 01:15:35 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
Starting point is 01:15:50 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
Starting point is 01:16:04 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
Starting point is 01:16:39 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?
Starting point is 01:17:01 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.
Starting point is 01:17:23 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.
Starting point is 01:17:34 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,
Starting point is 01:17:43 a work. A work. So he looks like he's about to lose. Yeah. It's, uh, like he, you know,
Starting point is 01:17:49 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.
Starting point is 01:17:56 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.
Starting point is 01:18:02 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?
Starting point is 01:18:13 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.
Starting point is 01:18:23 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.
Starting point is 01:18:38 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?
Starting point is 01:18:49 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
Starting point is 01:19:08 endorsed Trump Teared off a shirt It had Trump 2025 under it And that's what put him over That was it Yeah
Starting point is 01:19:17 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
Starting point is 01:19:27 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
Starting point is 01:19:35 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.
Starting point is 01:19:44 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.
Starting point is 01:19:54 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.
Starting point is 01:20:12 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.
Starting point is 01:20:25 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.
Starting point is 01:20:36 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.
Starting point is 01:21:08 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.
Starting point is 01:21:34 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.
Starting point is 01:22:00 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.
Starting point is 01:22:19 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.
Starting point is 01:22:38 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.
Starting point is 01:22:55 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.
Starting point is 01:23:14 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.
Starting point is 01:23:37 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. On maximum fun.org, YouTube, and everywhere you get podcasts.
Starting point is 01:23:58 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?
Starting point is 01:24:10 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.
Starting point is 01:24:33 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.
Starting point is 01:25:05 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.
Starting point is 01:25:23 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,
Starting point is 01:25:40 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
Starting point is 01:25:52 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
Starting point is 01:26:07 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.
Starting point is 01:26:39 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.
Starting point is 01:27:01 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.
Starting point is 01:27:19 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.
Starting point is 01:27:36 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.
Starting point is 01:27:58 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.
Starting point is 01:28:12 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.
Starting point is 01:28:28 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.
Starting point is 01:28:38 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...
Starting point is 01:28:52 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
Starting point is 01:29:30 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.
Starting point is 01:29:46 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?
Starting point is 01:30:06 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.
Starting point is 01:30:22 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.
Starting point is 01:30:38 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?
Starting point is 01:30:51 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...
Starting point is 01:31:08 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.
Starting point is 01:31:40 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,
Starting point is 01:32:14 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.
Starting point is 01:32:27 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
Starting point is 01:32:41 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
Starting point is 01:32:53 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.
Starting point is 01:33:14 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.
Starting point is 01:33:31 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.
Starting point is 01:33:53 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.
Starting point is 01:34:12 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.
Starting point is 01:34:55 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.

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.

Starting point is 01:39:21 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.
Starting point is 01:39:55 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.
