00:37I was a skew for two weeks.I was sort of in the, is the Kevin Smith.The skee universe?If you a skewn universe?Yeah.The Kevin Smith movies?Yep.Yeah, that's maybe, is that a very well thought out cinematic universe?
00:51Well, it's all kind of centers around clerks.It seems to be clerks and mall rats.Yeah.And then is chasing Amy for the.Well, I guess anywhere that Sideshow Bob and Quiet Dan show up.Both variations of the same character.Sorry, Lieutenant Dan.Is it well thought out?
01:15I don't know.I wouldn't say that.Are they in all of them?Are they in now our guest who hasn't seen a movie in her life?Yeah, this is all sounds like Jewish.But they're in.They're the ones that they're the connective tissue.Are they in dogma?
01:32Yes.Are they in Zach and Miry make a porno?Oh, maybe not.Maybe that's not, maybe that's not canon.That was maybe a little bit sophisticated.Yeah, and he also made two weird horror movies.He made one about a walrus, and he made one about...We're talking about Kevin Smith.
01:50Kevin Smith, New Jersey zone.The Hockey jersey tour.I like that he lost quite a tremendous amount of weight, and I still wears the same size ofhockey jersey, so he looks like a little kidthat you put Daddy's jerseyon. Yeah.Our guest today,returning guest, to the podcast.
02:09First time in person. Yeah, right here inperson. She is recordingher first special onSeptember 27that the review stage on GranvilleIsland here in Vancouver, British Columbia.It's Sophia Johnson. Hello!Hello! Thank you for joining us.
02:24She's a waving.Hello.I'm waving at the imaginarypeople.Yeah, yeah, yeah.As I said that, I was like, are we filming?And then I was like, wait, we're not.No, but we do have to remember to take a picture at some point.
02:36That's right.Yeah, when you come back, we'll come back for more.Or should we get to know us?Let's take a picture right now.Yeah.That's your signature move.It's going to be in your special, right?Yeah, I'm actually, because I keep watching myself back, it sets me, like, why do you do all these dumb waves and things, you know?
02:58Because I think one of my issues or strengths, whichever way you look at it, mostly an issue, is that I am quite fidgety and movie.Like I move around a lot and kind of, and I know like when I'm acting, I've got to be aware of it.And I think with comedy too for a special, I don't want to be too.But you're not somebody who prowls the stage.You kind of, right?You're fairly stationary.No, I just stand hunched in the center.Like a spider.
03:24Is that because you have been told, hey, stop fidgeting so much?Maybe I did, I remember, like, the first or second day when I was, the soap opera that I mentioned last time, the director.What was the name of that in New Zealand?Shortland Street. Shortland Street. Shortland Street. It's about doctors.One of the directors actually said to me, he was like, he later on, I sort of became friends in later on, he was a bit of trivia. He was on in the Hobbit as one of the dwarves.So he was just kind of like this big guy and he had sort of a gravelly voice, you know, and he, he, she,He said, Sophia, I have never in my life met another actor that moves as much as you do.And I was just terrified.
04:07Like, I was just like, oh, no.So from then on, I was like, I think, too still.You know, because I was so, I was like.You would always be like, I don't know.Put your hands up.But I think it's just naturally how I am, how I felt, like quite a sort of.Now, in New Zealand, is it hard to meet anyone who was in.in the Hobbit and
04:30Lord of the Rings movies?Impossible.Or the sitcom orsitcoms of operayou or what was likeI don't know if I've mentioned beforebecause people will be likeoh was you know
04:42was a lot of theNew Zealand is like Lord of the Ringsor are they sick ofhearing about it?We're not sick of hearing about it.We love it.Like welike you everyone knows someone
04:52that at least worked in thelike the ork mask sweatshopyou know?Oh sure.Or the you knowbecause it was such aa huge, like it was such a huge employment thing.Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:02It was like you were either molding oryour hands or you were an actor or I think the New ZealandArmy played the orcs in one of the first.So lucky you guys weren't invaded at the time.Or actually, they might have won.Yeah, that's true.If the invading army was like,oh, works.
05:21So scary.Now, a couple of weeks ago, we had a guest on the showwho was moving to New Zealand.Yes.Is there a comedian exchange program going on?Yeah.Rory done.Rory done.
05:33If you had to tell Rory...Or have you told him?Yeah, what are the things you should do that aren't Lord of the Rings connected?What would you tell him do?Like that he should touristy stuff he should do?Or just, yeah, what's the thing to do there?Did you do comedy there?Yes, yes.
05:46I did comedy there for about five years before.So you could give him that advice.Totally.But I think like, because I think Rory's one of those dudes who's like, I'm going to figure it out.But I was like, hey, I'm happy to message to the club owner.There's only one.club in the country.What's it called?
06:00The classic.The classic.It's called the classic.And it's a total legend.And then there is also, like I can reach out to them.I can reach out to some friends there.You know, and I think he's like, yeah, let me get settled.And I think he wants to like maybe find a place travel for a bit and then.
06:14Yeah.But I think in terms of what I would tell him, I think a lot of Canadians I notice go tothe South Island.Because of New Zealand, for those that don't know, two islands.A lot of people don't know because it's left off a lot of maps, which is hurtful.Yeah, that is hurtful.But there's, the North Island, the South Island, I think, is more similar to Canada climate-wise.Okay.
06:33So a lot of people go to the South Island, they're like, oh, I saw these mountains, and I was like, why didn't you just stay here?Like, I went snowboard, you know, whereas the North Island is climate-wise a bit more subtropical.They have black sand beaches.Oh, nice.Yeah, and like really cool, like just like amazing trees and jungly stuff.Orks.Orks.Dorks.
06:56Yeah.Oh, I mean.They do have dorks.A lot of dorks.One of them right here.That's why I wore this Casio watch.That's a too cool.Gigantic watch.
07:06This is only a dork would wear this.Is this really?It's a Cassio like, let me see the face of it here.It's a referees watch.Oh, cool.So that I can like, I'm very into like, so when I'm on stage, I like stop watch prep, start, boom, look down.It's because they didn't have any women's ones, though.So I was like, I'll just get a.
07:26But now it's just like my own.whole up.Now, yeah, thisSo, like, what is areferee, like a soccer referee?Footy.No, we call it soccer too.Okay.
07:37You do?Yeah, which is weird.Like, there's some stuff we call soccer.Some stuff we call soccer.Do you guys drive on the English side of the road?We drive on the English side.Okay, but you used to call it soccer.Okay.
07:50Contradictions all over.A lot of stuff's English.Actually, I know I'm segueing all over the place, so hopefully.That's fine.We'll stitch it together, post.together and fun.But I had almost a fight with someone.I don't know if this is going to be relevant to if there's musicians.
08:05Are you a musicians?Are you a musician, Dave?Sure, yeah.So someone was showing me her tattoo the other night and it had a little, it was a rest.You know, it was a rest of what you guys, I found out, would call a quarter note.Yeah.And I was like, that's not a quarter note.That's a crotchet.
08:25So it turns out like the British have a whole systemAnd we don't even know what a cordon note isYou can study like I did Royal School's musicYou never learn that termYou never learnDo you have like 8th notes and 16th notes?No we have none ofSo we have crotch it or watch it or blotts
08:43We have crotchets and then half of a crotchets a quaverAnd then half of a quaver is a demiIt's a semi quaverAnd then half of a semi quaver is a demi semi quaverWhat's a half note?So a half noteis a half note's a minimum and a whole note's a semi-breeve and a double note I guess is abrief but like does this make any sense yeah I mean I the like I play guitar but I don't
09:10read music I used to read music when I played cello as a child but we were at each other'sthroats I was like it's a crotchet it was like it's a chord because to us because a crotchetbut we also learn that a crotchet is one note and a quaver is half a note do you know what I meanAnd so it's like, it doesn't even really translate easily to that.What do you call, like, a Yamaha motorcycle over there?We call it a crotchet.We call it a crotchet.Yeah, here we go.
09:40But, yeah, it was just, it's interesting because there's some things that, you know,like we call a pepper or a capsicum.You know, there's a couple of things.Oh, sure.Okay.Oh, yeah, we do cilantro or coriander.Yeah, coriander.There's, like, things like that.
09:53But this was the wildest thing.It was like we, because she'd studied music all her life, her mom was a violin teacher.And the fact that, and I studied not as much as her, but like, but we just didn't even, we weren't even aware that each other's system existed.Like, it was like this moment of like, she was like, it's a quarter note.I was like, it's a crotchet, you know, like it was like.There are like some Canadianisms that are that overlap with the British things that I assume happen in New Zealand as well.Do you say napkin or serviette?We say both, I think.
10:26Yeah, because we, like, my grandmother used to say serviette.Yeah, Serbia's like a lot losing out.Same like Chesterfield.I feel like my grandparents called it to Chesterfield.Do you know Chesterfield?No.It's couch.Oh, whoa.
10:40Yeah, but it's like, it's.So all couches are Chesterfield?Yeah, are all Chesterfield.I think it was a brand at some point.That's when you get the brand name.Like in New Zealand, is it cling rap?Yeah.That's always glad rap, which is the brand.
10:53Sure.Yeah.So it's stuff like that.the brand takes over.And there are different Canadianisms that, like, I feel like my family was like, Dave,in Canada, we do not say first grade.We say grade one.We say grade one.
11:04And, like, you don't say first grade.And now my kids say first grade, second grade, and I don't care.You mean year one, as we call it?I think we're just losing that one.Yeah.And it's, well, we had a, we had a giant hit.We were both in grade nine called This Is Me and Grade Nine.Yeah.
11:22And that really cemented.What's this?This is me in grade nine?This was a Bear Naked Ladies song.Do you know the Bear Naked Ladies?Oh, I've heard of the Bear Naked Lades.They're a Canadian band, right?They're kind of, I guess, the greatest band of all time.
11:33Yeah, I've heard of them.If you have to, I guess so, I'm thinking of other bands.But they had a song called Grade 9.I think it came out when I was in grade 7.I feel.Oh, yeah, maybe.But we also, in Vancouver, we don't have, grade 9 is the second year of high school here.So it means a different thing.
11:52That's true.Yeah.How did the song go?This is me a grade nine, baby.This is me a great time.But it's about being like your first year in high school.Yeah.Okay, cool.
12:02What?Who's the biggest band in New Zealand?Oh my God.Like a New Zealand band?I mean, obviously we have the greats.We have like Lord, right?Sure.But we also have this amazing, similar to Lord of Before Lord,
12:16called Bick Ringer, who I don't know.Do you know Bik Runger?Do you want me to sing?Yeah, please.Oh, it's such a high note.Stay who sayDon't come and goLike you too
12:31NiceGood harmonies guysYeahBecause I was talking toWhen Rory was hereWe were likeAre there New Zealand people that aren't famous hereLike we only know the people who left the country
12:42YeahThey're definitely like there's definitelyLike 660 is quite a famous familyOh yeah I don't know thatYeah there's definitely someLike I think Fat Freddy's DropIt was likereggae.
12:54This is great.Yeah, more of these bands' names, please.And there was this band called Al-M-N-O-Pthat I didn't know was a world-famous bandbecause they keep going to people,I keep going around and being like,do you guys know that song that goes like,Every day's a Saturday,
13:07every night's the night like this.And they're like, no, so.But I was like, I just assumed.I was like, but there was this one New Zealand band,which I think about all the timebecause it was like, they were like,what's the word, like a troll band?Like they were, they're a band.
13:22but they were like joking but then they be kind of hard in new zealand everyone's kind of a troll everyone is kind of troll everybody is a troll yeah but they were like but they became really famous and they were called deja voodoo and they would do songs like which now like like pretty unpiece these but they'd be like like their hits were like I would give you a beer but I've only got six you know like they had these yeah they're like these fun and then when like you know when meth was first becoming a big problemI was like, is this another band?When meth was blowing up, they were like, I smoke pee and I'm okay.That was like, they would do just like weird, you know.There are weird like bands that growing up, you're like, oh, this is, this band is huge.They must be huge all over the world.And then there's bands, you're like, there's no way.Yeah, and they, I knew.
14:15My wife grew up in Switzerland, and they would see music videos for this band called Guano Apes.And they were like, white people with dreadlocks, I think.Nice.And they were like, no way, this band is that big outside.But white people with dreadlocks are still being in Europe.Like, my brother lives in Germany.I've tried to tell him to cut off his dreads.He's like, but everyone has dreads.
14:37Like, it's like a, it's like North America.It's always 1999 in Germany.Everyone's in like the rave scene from the Matrix.The, uh, you didn't have, do you have dreads at one point?Did I do what?Did you have dreads at one point?No, I never had dreads, but dreads were huge.Like, I actually kind of do a joke on it in the special.
14:57Like, all my first crushers were guys with dreads, you know?I'd be like, I'd be like, the government.The twins from the second Matrix.Yeah, Vanilla Ice when he put out his second album.I'd be like, the government wants him to brush his hair.Yeah, yeah, yeah.But he won't do it.It was crazy.
15:14But no, it was big.My best friend Lily had dreads, but she was like a cool.Even when she was 13, she was just like a cool stoner chick.You know, like, she had dreads, and I remember one time she got caught smoking weed, you know, behind one of the classrooms, by one of the teachers.And he was just like, oh, Lily, I thought you said you were just smoking on weekends.She was like, sorry, so it's hard.Yeah, it's, I don't think I knew anybody that had dreads, but I was like, they were very much on my radar being like, that would be a thing I wanted to do.Yeah, it was very...
15:49I was discouraged, and thankfully, so...Yeah, there was no concept that it was later ongoing to be a cancelable...Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.It was like, man, I wish I had those, you know?Yeah, but also, like, I think you need kind of a, like, a full, thick head of hair to pull off.I don't think anyone's been canceled as a white guy with dreads.I don't think that...
16:10I'd like to see it start to happen.Yeah, exactly.Yeah.Have you ever seen somebody that just has one giant dread?Oh, yeah.One dread.Well, yeah, I think that's...known guy in New Zealand.
16:20One Dread?Oh yeah.What was this song again?One Dred?I would give you a Dread, but I've only got one.Yeah, that's it.Yep.No, there is a guy
16:30called One Dread.He's a famous, because in New Zealand is...This is not true, is it?No, it's true.Like, I might even be able to look it up.Like, there's a...Oh, look it up right here.One Dread, New Zealand.
16:41Because he's a famous homeless person, I think.RIP One Dread.Yeah, he died.Oh, no, he died.It's coming up on.And I'm very sad to hear that.Yeah, and it was in the New Zealand Herald, which is our biggest newspaper.R.Z. 1.1.
16:55He died in 2024, the life and death of one dread.See, I don't just make the stuff up, guys.No, you don't.But it sounds like you are.It does.Well, that's the thing with the...Popular Auckland street figure.Who are the, like, I guess, there's no...
17:08Canada doesn't have a famous homeless guy.No, one of our, like, our legacies in Canada is that Circus Olai was started by some street performers.Yeah, that's true.Oh, that's cool.Yeah.In Montreal.In Montreal, yeah.But it was like a couple of, I don't know, jugglers, I want to say or something.
17:25They're street performers, though.Yeah, yeah, yeah.I actually, I used talking to some of it.You mentioned this last time about saying Busker as a.And I feel like that maybe is a slur to people who are street performers.Busker?No, I don't think so.I don't know.
17:40I feel like Busker is like a level up.Like Busker's better than street performers?Because they have like, well, they have like the Busker Festival in New Zealand.See, but New Zealand could be calling all sorts of thingsThat was actually one of the things that I findLike illuminating and disappointing a little bit about the Vancouver sceneIs that I feel like street performers get a lot more cred in New ZealandLike they'll be like, wow, you can juggle knives
18:05Where his hair is like, he can juggle knives, what a loserHe has to juggle knivesThere's no like, yeah, exactlyThere's noBecause I remember my friend who was an actorHe did the thing where you paint yourself bronzeright and then you're that statue guythe bronze statue and I remember thinking
18:21I should do that that's so coollike really wantingI first time I saw it I thoughtit was so cool what the statue thingyeah I think I saw one in Barcelonathat was a guy on the toiletand he painted the toilet bronze as wellalso you so much easier
18:37you don't have to stand all dayyeah that is really swearthe first time when I was a kid when I saw a buskerI thought it was the best thing in the world he didthe thing where he's juggling bowling ballone hit him on the head, and I was like, this is good, this is good as entertainment get.Yeah, for a kid, you're like, wow, you love that.Yeah, I had an autograph from the guy.
18:57Do you still have it?Yeah, I probably do.You do?You do.My parents' house.Yeah, yeah.Wow.Yeah.
19:03Did they pay, did they tip them?No, we were like, nah.Because it's like, no, of course we did.Yeah.Sometimes I take sarcasm as real.But like, it's a problem.It's the kind of thing where you don't immediately know, like, oh, thisperson, oh, they get paid through.
19:19Oh, okay.I thought they were just doing this because they're insane.Which is poshly true.Yeah.Did I tell you about the, I can't remember it was you or somebody else was telling him, but the bagpipe guy at Waterfront Station.He's this guy, he wears like stilts that look, and they look like hooves, and he plays this giant, gigantic bagpipe.And he had, like, a little stand that had three different tap.It's a $1, $2, $3.
19:47tap. I've never seen that before, but it's happening.Next level. Do you remember the, on Saturday Night Live, Rob Schneider character,who was the busker, but his songs.Oh, the singer? Yeah, and his songs were,Please give me money. I'm very hungry. And people would give them money.And he'd be like, hey, that's just the song. I'm just out here.And then wasn't he like, man in the red hat?Yeah, you would call specific people out.
20:17This one, Rob Schneider, was at the top of his game.I disagree.I think he's getting better year by year.You can really, if you're a celebrity that has kind of, you know, kind of gone a bit obscure in the years,become a right to mouthpiece.And all of a sudden, you'll be back, Dean Kane.Who's been thinking of Dane Kane until the last couple of months?Russell Brand did it?
20:40Oh, well, Russell Brand.He was still in the zeit guys, but he was sort of, because of all the stuff.Yeah, he went full.Because wasn't his thing that he was a hip, wasn't he a hippie for a while?He was a hippie.He was an atheist and then he was a god guy.I was sad because I was a Russell brand.Like when I was like 21, you know, and I was like.
21:02You seem like you'd be very susceptible.I was so susceptible.To his charms.I was like, this guy's a dangerous rebel who's like fighting the system.I bet he's this close to getting dreadlocks.He's fighting the system, but his hair was kind of met by being mean tojournalistsHe's so like he's fighting the mainstream
21:21Now I'm like oh that one was just trying to read the newsBecause it was that famous clipBut he's like here let me read the newsAnd then he was like telling it like it isBefore that was a thingYou knowHow did he tell?Why was he on one of those panel shows
21:33And then they were like interviewing himAnd then he's like I could do your jobAnd then he like grabbed the micYou know and he was likeThere's world homelessnessThere's hunger like he was likeHe like ripped into herHe's like here's what's really going on
21:44And the government's trying to fuck over the little manBut doing that, and I was just like, oh, my God, this is the coolest guy.What is he selling recently?Oh, is it like mind cream or something like that?What's the one that Pete Holmes is selling?Oh, some kind of like brain herb for your brain.Why are comedians now all such hucksters?Everybody's hucksters.
22:10Yeah, everyone's a huckster.My problem is I search for Russell Crow.Oh, also a great search.All you have to search is just bookie-wook.Oh, Russell Crowe is selling his steak in the rabbitos.He's selling what?His steak in the rabidows?What's a rabbito?
22:24I think they're an Australian rules football team.Oh, he's sharing it.I was like, he's selling states.That's what I thought, too.You're selling steak.Everyone's doing it.Russell Brand has a magical amulet that he's selling.I mean, I'm not not interested.
22:39It's $240.Okay, that's pretty cheap for considering it's magic.Yeah, that is pretty cheap.Good guy.Paltrow's is 500.Yeah, and itsmells like her vagina.So it should be 500.
22:53That's how you know.Should be more.Yeah, Russell Brand, because he used tohis thing, his hair was all gigantic.Yeah, gigantic and he's verytall. I saw him, I actually saw him on thestreet. He came to New Zealand and he did a show.And I saw him on the street and he's very
23:10noticeable because he's like a foot taller than allus hobbits. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. The tallestguy down. I feel like we should Google his height,But it looked to me like he was like seven foot.Maybe he wears like healed boots or something.And then he has crazy hair.And he had his hair ads.And he's got this sort of disheveled.
23:27Like I was just a drug addict in London.But now I'm fighting the system from the inside.I don't know.Yeah.This sounds like it all very much appeals.It appealed to me so much.And then when I saw him live, I was a little bit disappointed.To show this picture, does this still appeal to you?
23:40You know what?2004 me.He's got a vest.He's holding a MTV.I would have.been in love with him. Popcorn award.Six foot one and a half.Wow, he's not even that tall.
23:52I felt like he was wearing platforms.I do think that something, like I imagine people as much taller than they are.And I think, oh, I could never beat up Russell Brand.But you think on Russell Crow.I am getting them mixed up a lot.Yeah, because Russell Crow would rip the average man's head off.At any height.At any height. He's just strong-looking.
24:15Yeah, he's just strong-looking.Will.Yeah.Just will you to death.Oh, he's a gladiator.And a nice guy?Was that the movie with him and?Oh, yeah.
24:24I liked that.I liked it, too.It took me a while to like that.I think Russell Crow is like somebody who I think was really good out of the gate,but I didn't really care about him.And then he's grown on me over time and when I see something with Russell.When did you, like, when was the moment that you were like, I like Russell Crow?There's a chance I haven't seen the movie, but Dave can jump in.
24:44What do you want for me?Like with somebody like, oh, yes, that movie.So we're not both just silent, you know?Oh, it probably was the nice guys.Like, he was funny.Like, he realized, like, okay, he's a funny guy he's in on the joke.But also he wasn't too musley anymore.Yeah, it was him and it's him and Ryan Gosling.
25:04Yeah.And they're like, it's from the, it's a 70.It takes place in the 70s and they're like, uh, detectives.Yeah.But they're like, bumbling.Yeah, they're bumbling.It's really good.I like bubbling detective.
25:17Yeah.So, like, we're talking upstairs about the, you like, you drift towards the sticking it to the man.I do.But I liked, I liked to go back to Russell Crow.I know you're trying to segue away from Russell Crow.No, we can just do Russell Crow.And I think I even, like, did a joke about this on one of your shows recently, where I was like, like, I was the only person that loved Robin Hood.Oh, the Russell Crow one, yes.
25:46Because I like Russell Crowe when he's taking himself seriously.Yeah.That's like I'm like, yeah.But I remember watching that movie, I think it was about 20.And because I love Robert Hood, right?That's like one of my favorite things.And being like, wow, this is the best movie I've ever seen.And then the next day, seeing all the reviews, just be like, this is the biggest piece of garbage.
26:07This was a terrible movie.Like Russell Crow destroyed Robert.And I was like, I guess I guess I just like different stuff.Yeah.Do you know, I don't know, like in my brain, but I think it's just because I love Robin Hood.So seeing, like, because I love fantasy stuff and I love, like, you know, medieval stuff or like historical stuff and especially like woods stuff.So I was like, I was like, oh, Robin Hood, like, because I grew up in the forest, I always played Robin Hood.You know, I was like, Robin Hood.
26:32Was there something when you were a kid?Because I have one that I'm thinking of that I'm like, oh, I love this.And I only found out later that grownups thought it sucked.Oh, Ernest saves Christmas.Oh, goodness hates Christmas?Saved.Yeah.No, when I was a kid, I was like, this is one of the all-time greats.
26:48Is it Canadian?No, it's Ernest.Ernest is this character, is American character who was like, well, he's sort of a bumblingdetective.That's your thing.He was a...A hillbilly kind of.Yeah, and the gag was with him, he was in a bunch of commercials.
27:07Yeah.Where he would talk to the camera, and the camera was his friend named Vern.He was always talking, hey, Vern, this is what's going on or whatever.And he was so popular to put him in a movieAnd that did so wellThat he was in several moviesAnd he looked like thisHe looked like this guy
27:21He was wearing itBecause like when was thisWas he making little clips on putting them on the internet?No, this was a way in the 90sYeahOhAnd heProbably I would say
27:33He probably had likeTen movies that were just ErnestDoes this and thatYeahAnd you really resonated with ErnestOh man when he saved ChristmasAnd then I mean he wasHe did a similar thing with Halloween.
27:45He got scared stupid.For me, it was Dick Tracy.Oh, wasn't that universally like?No.Oh, really?It was like, I think it was a big turkey.Oh, okay.I remember like it.
27:59Of course, because you were a little 10-year-old.Yeah, yeah.I don't know what this is.Well, Dick Tracy was a...I love how little of these things are you know.He's sort of a, guess, a bumbling detective.Like, guys, if you combine...I know the penis sellers weren't, or he self-staffled, the murder about himself that he did.
28:20It's, no, he's a detective, but he's like, it's from old-timey comic script from like the 40s.And then they redid it in the 90s or 1990.And it was a kid.Madonna was in it.El Pacino, Dustin Hoffman.And they're all wearing, like, crazy makeup because they're like old-timey comic book villains.Warren Beatty wasYou know word baby
28:45This is greatEverything you sayI'm probably going to be likeThat's because youYou were saying youWhen you're a kidYou grew up you didn't watch any TVThere's no TV
28:55We didn't own a TVBut we did have a video playerA day later DVD playerAnd we we owned a couple of moviesWe owned the Shakespeare filmsWe owned because my dad found a box setAnd it was likeWhen a video store was closing down, and it was like five Shakespeare's for $10 something and dad was like...
29:15But it's like, there's a million Shakespeare movie.Well, we had, so we had Thalow, Hamlet, Titus, Taming of the Shrew, and, uh...Baslerman's Romeo and Juliet?No, that was the only fucking one.And that was like my favorite, but I watched Hamlet over and over again.Is that the Kenneth Branagh?The Kenneth Branagh.Mel Gibson also did a version.
29:37And, well, no, we had that too.That's right.It had both Hamlet versions, Mel Gibson and Kenneth Branagh.But my dad was like, the Mel Gibson's one's rubbish, don't even bother enough.So I just like...It's only two hours.Yeah, so as a kid.And also he had an American, I tried to watch it because when you're a kid and you don't
29:51have a lot of other videos around, you'll watch like whatever is there.Oh, yeah.So I watched that taming of the Shrew.It was like Elizabeth Taylor and like Richard Burton or something.And I watched that like probably like 20 times.Like I was like, this is the part where she says that men are better than women at the end.You know, like it was very like this crazy kind of.And we had The Private Life of Plans by David Adam Burr.
30:13Okay.Which is an absolute.I have that memorized.That was a banger.Yeah.The Private Life of Plants.And we had Jane Austen's Emma.I really wanted Pride and Prejudice, obviously.
30:24But we didn't mean that.It was just like always having the thing we didn't quite.Emma, is Emma clueless?Yes.Okay.And was it the Gwlett Peltro version that you had?No, God, no.It was like from like 1983 or so.
30:37And like the guy playing the lead was like 60.And he was like, Emma, I've known you since you're a child.And I'm like, this is normal.So do you have anything?Why do I need to learn how to parallel park?Everyone has valet.Yeah, totally.As if.
30:56But, like, was that there was no, like, current day.It was all classics.I think it was all classic.I think, like, yeah, my parents, my dad's was very into the classics.And my parents, and I think as well, like, some of the movies, I don't think.Because I remember when we watched a.Othello, I was probably six or maybe six years old, and I think dad just thought I was just going to fall asleep on his shoulder or whatever, you know, but then I think I, because I remember it.Like I remember, I remember he turned to me and tears were just like streaming and he was like, oh, she was awake and like followed the story, you know, and I think that was like, oh, no, like I should.
31:29Who's in that?In the, in the Othello.I think it's, um, Lawrence Fish.Oh, okay, that's the one.Yeah, yeah, it was that one.Yeah, as a kid, I didn't like know the actors.Yeah, we read it in.In grade 10, and I didn't do much for maybe land.
31:46It didn't hit?I didn't understand a word.Yeah.I remember I had to the project I handed in about Othello as I made a comic book of Othello.That's cool.Oh, I wonder where the hell that is.Do you still have that?My parents, maybe.
32:00Othello was also a board game with the black and white pieces.Really?Oh, yeah.I've heard it called Reversey.How do you play Othello?That was like something being New Zealand reversing.Yeah.Everything's upside down here.
32:14You basically, whatever side you are, like what you put down your piece and you're either red or what you're either white or black.Yeah.And I realized later that it was probably named Othello after the play because it's.Because he's a black guy.Because it's a lot.As they call him, the moor.Oh, yeah.And you're a blue.
32:30Like it's a board with a bunch of squares and you put a white piece down and you try to surround a black piece or a black piece around a white piece.And then if you surround it, you flip it.You flip it.So you try to make all theAll the opponent's piecesYour colorInterestingI'm trying
32:44In my brainI'm trying to thinkHow this relates to the playYeah I don't thinkI think of a lotIs I don't think of a lot is IagoRightWho Kenneth Branagh played in that
32:53No Gilbert Godfrey playedYes in AladdinSeeI love thisThat reference was in theActually I do knowWhat you're talking aboutI did see Aladdin
33:04And it was a great filmYesIt's fantasticBut in my lifeI'll be like, because I remember I was saying to someone, I was like, talking about someone, and I was like, you know, they're a bit of a Niagara.And I was like, you know, and I was like, you know, and they were like, oh, from Aladdin, yeah.And I was like, okay.Good enough.
33:22Yes.Now, are you, when you were growing up, did you have other friends that also did not, like, that only had DVD?So you were behind there.I was a full on loser and I knew, like, I was aware.I remember, like, I don't know if I started, like, just pretending stuff.And I think, like, as a young age, people would, because people would often talk about things.And my friend who lived down the road, they watched a lot of TV.So I think I saw maybe half an episode of Friends one time.
33:49So I could kind of know Buffy the Vampire Slayer.I think I watched one episode at her play.So I knew about stuff.But I always felt like I was like, I always felt like I was kind of pretending.Because, like, Spice Girls, you had to play Spice Girls.But of course, you had to play Spice Girls.But like, you had to play Spice Girls.now you're my lover
34:08I don't even get that reference nowbut I remember just likeand of course I didn't have any of the Spice Girls songsor albums or there was a videothere was a Spice Girls movie Spice WorldI think it was calledI think it was you knowbut just trying to kind of be like

35:54Yeah.Isaac Taylor.The Hanson's three.And Zach, yeah.And it was always like, and for those that don't know, Hanson's law, Zach was like the young, cute 13-year-old.Yeah.And then Taylor was like the also.kind of hot keyboardist

42:18take a message.But you don't even say, um, and think about it.It's ready.In the music video, Remy Shand played, well, because I guess he played all the instrumentson the album.So he's like his whole band and he's like, his whole band.He's like pointing to it.Oh, he's playing his own band where he's...
42:33He's the keyboardist and the bass player.Was he wearing like a funny hat to differentiate?Yeah.Yeah, that's fine.Because that was, uh, what's his name, Andre 3,000?Yeah.They had a video where he's a bunch of guys in the video.Yeah.
42:46You know Andre 3000.You know, hey, uh.You know, hey, uh.Oh, yes.Yeah.That's him.But I do remember in Surge Tanky and split from System of a Down, one of my favorite band.Oh, I was so sad when that happened.
42:56And that system of Dom is my old-time favorite band.and then when search tanking splitit was like good and badbecause it was bad because the band was broken upgood because he moved to New ZealandPeeha Beach which was quite close to meDid you ever see him?Was he as tall as Russell Brand?
43:11Way shortHe was only sixNo, that's actually one of my like huge lifebecause I remember when I was on the soapSome guys were likeOh we partied with search tanking this weekThey were like we went out to PiharWe just where he lived and we ran into him
43:26And then I was like take me next timeYou know likeYeahI was like because I wassuch a surge, like, because when I was 11, toxicity came, and I remember I had, I met, I tapedmy brother's CD of toxicity onto a tape and put on my Walkman, and I would just walk aroundthe island I was on and be like, wake up, wake up, hide the scuffs, find away the shakeup,why do you leave the keys up on the table you wanted to? Just like, angsting, like, thinking
43:51about my crush, you know, who was such a rebel. Yeah, oh yeah? Yeah. Yeah.Oh, yeah, yeah.What are your crush to do that was?Oh, oh, this is really adding myself.I'm like, New Zealand's going to find out.No, I did.No, my, my crush, because so school speeches at my school were, like, crazy.What are school speeches?
44:13You know, when you, like, did you not have, like, once a year there's a speech competition?No.Some, I mean, I mean, I know that, like, people are in clubs for that, but, like, there's not, like, it's not like a big thing.Oh, okay, so, like, at out school, every year there was a speech competition.And I think, like, is it like a debate or is it just like an oral presentation?No, like you do like a five, seven minutes speech and it can be about anything.And like I remember my brother did like revolutions.You know what, we did do that.
44:43Yeah?In elementary school, we did it in French.Concord d'Arre au retois.We didn't have.We didn't have this.You don't have this?No.We learned square dancing in my school.
44:53That was fine for us.Yeah.That you squared.But you made the speech contest.And the whole, for the finals, the whole school got to go.Because it was like, I guess you'd call like seniors.Because my school also, because it was a small place, like when you're 11, you're basically in high school.Right.
45:09So it's like 11 right up to 7.That's why kids are getting high in 13.Yeah, because they're like, we've already done.We've already seen this.But I remember there was a speech competition and it was like, I was 11, I got to watch it.And the finalists, they were all, you know, older, I think.And then I remember one of the guys, like, during the speech, like the end of us, he did a speech that was like,really cool like he went like crazy and like and then at the end like what does that mean well because
45:34he started i still remember the speech he started he came on stage and he like pretended to be reallynervous oh you know yeah but then he like ripped off the mask and was like i don't give a shit you knowand i was like holy what a prank yeah you know like but our speech has gotten i was like i rememberone like one chick got up who i love i love her so much like she was an amazing singer but she got upand she was like i was assaulted and she like talked about it andwhen she was like 14, like people would like, speeches were like crazy.But I remember this guy, at the end of a speech, he ripped off his shirts, who's shirtless.And this is your crash.
46:07Yeah.Well, after this.Yeah.And then he just said like, if I fuck me, I fuck me my way.And then he like, store.You were allowed to do this at school?Well, no.So then the teachers were like, you're disqualified.
46:20And he was like, good.Like, oh, man.And I was like, I didn't really know him, but I just remember being like, that guy's so cool.Yeah.And later on we became friends.Oh, nice.It really worked.And then, anyway, there's a whole story.
46:32But I got to, like, kind of date my crush.Oh, nice.Later on in life.Yeah, sure.I remember they did, my school, we had, like, a history presentation at the end of the year.And everyone's was pretty boring, except these two guys.Oh, you've told me about this.Yeah, these two guys seem to, like, they brought back these people from history.
46:52Yeah.What?And they, like, Socrates came.Oh, that's cool.And a little kid was there.The kid was certainly there.Mozart actually had just been arrested at the mall.What?
47:02And I'm sorry, it was Beethoven.I love that this, like, we're doing a thing from a movie,and you are completely on another planet.I don't know what you guys are talking about.There was a movie called Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.This has been a theme of the show.Yeah.You guys, I feel like since I told you guys that I didn't watch a lot of movies.
47:24I grew up, you guys have leaned harder into that.To be like, how many times can we baffle and fuddle our guest?And I'm just here like, should I have told them about my crush?No, that fresh story was fun.I believe that Bik Runga song gets played in American Pie when, I want to say.Yes, it does.When Minas Huvari and whoever she's.Oh, okay.
47:49Losing her virginity.They're all losing their virginities.Yeah, yeah, that's true.Yeah, because they're in a boat house or something like that.And everyone would sing Bikrunger at school.They're at Stifler's mom.mom's house.Oh, when she was, when me and a sorri, I thought they were on, like, a boat, some sort of wooden house.
48:04Well, Sistler's mom's there.No, yeah.She oversaw it all.I don't think I've seen it, but I know the book Ranga was in it.Yeah.That's what I'm like, oh my God, that's so good for us.Yeah, yeah.But people would sing drive at our school, which was a big Runga song.
48:18Oh, okay.And everyone would play that at, like, asm.Like, girls would, and they were, like, kill it.Now the kids are probably doing Lord.They're probably doing so much Lord.That's so sweetYou got to, you got to, like, date your crushYeah, like, much later on
48:33Like, I'd, like,Hey, I married mine.Yeah, Dave married.Your high school crush?No.Oh, yeah.College?Not, yeah, not that far after.
48:42I've had a high hit rate, actually, with my crush.Like, because my other, like, after that I had a crushthat I remember I met him at one night.And he was like, this was obviously my type at the time.He was like, you know, like, vandalizing street signs.Oh, boy, you went for the bad boy.I was like, he's so cool.Like, if only one day he would notice me.
49:03And then I dated him for two years later on.Oh, yeah?That was a little bit older, yeah.Wow.I have a very high, like, but I was.Well, you know you're like good looking, right?Like, oh, I, the people I'm attracted to do seem to want to date me.No, but I wasn't.
49:16Like, I was nerdy.I don't know.You're not according to that Amazon video.To titanium.That was older.That was older.But no, I was like, with that crush.That was, like, a full dream come true.
49:29Like, I was like, I can't believe this.He's vandalizing, in my house now.Yeah.He comes over, vandalizes the fridge.He's so cool.Like, yes.Oh, wow.Yeah, that's what you like when you're, you're like a rebel, you know?
49:45Yeah, you do.You're like, we've got to fight the system.But it's funny, like, talking to other comics about it.I love the image.I still haven't kind of been able to write, like, the best joke about it yet.But there's something about, like, you know, when you're punks and, you know, you're,But then you're on the beachAnd like a subtropical island
50:00You knowLike your boots and your black jeansAnd you're likeFuckStaring at like the sunsetYeahYeahThe most beautiful place

50:24We need everyone on like thatYeahYeah, wow.Dave, what's going on with you, my friend?Well, this weekend, I'm going to talk about something that you may never have heard of.John Sussar.My parents, a couple weeks ago, were like, hey, we'd like to take a few of the grandkids and whoever else wants to come to see the Lion King musical.I've heard of it.
50:48Have you seen the Lion King movie?Yes.Okay.I watched it quite recently.I have not.Oh.Well, then.You've never seen it?
50:55I've never seen...Speaking of Hamlet.Ah, absolutely.If you say so.They, I've seen the like remake they did with the live action that wasn't live action because it's all computers.But I've seen bits of the original.But I've never seen the play before.Was it good?
51:18Well, let me tell you.Sorry.Sorry.It is.So I know the mute.I know the songs, the big four songs from Circle of Life.Circle of Life, Circle of Life for briefs.Can you feel the love tonight?
51:35And?Hakuna Matanata.And I just can't wait to be king.Oh, yeah.Oh, bangers.I like how you were like quizzing.Yeah.Well, Graham loves it.
51:45I love it.Oh, so you knew you were like, I got another five songs.The years and years ago, we talked with Charlie DeMeres.he and I were remembering, enjoying the Lion King.And we thought that we were much younger when we saw it.And then we found out that we were both in our teens.What year did it come out?94, I think.
52:10I hadn't quite reached my punk stage yet.You'll get there.You've got to start it 12.Yeah, yeah.So we went and, yeah, both my daughters, a couple of my nieces.A niece, a nephew, and my father all went, and we were, um, we, we sat down.It's, going to the theater is like, there's so many heads to look around.Yeah.
52:38And you're quite told as well, like, it's hard for me.I'm no Russell Brand.Yeah, if you did your hair all crazy, you're sure if I had some platform booth.Um, but, uh, yeah, we went.And so, like, I'm like, you know, we're waiting for everyone to sit down and.All the people around us so we can switch seats so the kids can pick their best way to see.And then it starts and like, I've heard about it.I've seen like pictures of it.
53:04But like there's masks and people on stilts and puppets.Yeah.And it opens and there's like an elephant comes out on stage and it's just this puppet elephant and it's huge and all these other animals, zebras.And it's incredible the first five minutes.It's great.They hold up baby Simba.Yeah.And then they play the Circle of Life.
53:32And there's a lot of filler.There's those four songs.And then there's two hours of not those four songs.I think they tour together for a long time.Because I've heard stories of people that were in the cast for like 10 years.Like that was their life being a lemur, you know, is their career?It was huge.It was like probably the biggest musical of the 2000s.
53:54maybe.And the guy who originated the role of Rafiki in the Broadway musical is just retiring, like, a month from now, he's done the show 9,000 times.Oh, my God.Whoa.Yeah.Because, like, you say, it was in the, like, a lot or something.Well, they do stuff, like, at a friend, like, they would, like, pass the sausage or what, like, see.Do you know what I mean by that?
54:16Yeah, I try to play pass the sausage, but my wife's never in the mood.No.Like, you know, where they're the last.have a sausage, and the cast members will try and pass to each other during the musicalwhere no audience is it.Oh, that's fun.Because they've just done it so much that they're like, they got to come up with,like, fun game.
54:35Like, they can just sing whatever those song names were.Yeah.You know Okunavitana, surely.But I'm worried I'm going to say it wrong.Akunamatata.Yeah, there you say that.Yeah.But I bet you could tell me every lyric from toxicity.
54:47I could.Which song do you want?Psycho is my favorite.Go on.Psycho.Groupie.Cocaine.Crazy.
54:53but I didn't know what a groupie was when I was a kidSo I was like, man, these groupies are crazyReally want to watch stuff?Did you think they're like grouperfish or something like that?I don't know, but I saw this move down a couple times liveAnd like the first I just wept.I was like, this is the best thing I've ever seen.Yeah.
55:12And then when Serge split, and he came up with that elect the dead album.Do you remember?And he had like, and then he played with the New Zealand Philharmonic Orchestraat like the town hall.Oh, wow.And I was so excited.I remember I was working, I'd moved out of home, and I was working at a law firm as, like, a clerk, and it was like, I didn't have much money, but I was like, I have to get tickets to this.And there was this guy that I thought was that I liked, mainly because he likes this to move a down.
55:35Yeah.He was this British guy.And I was like, oh.He's kind of a rebel a little bit.He actually wasn't.But I was getting older at this point.I was 17.I was like, I was growing up.
55:42Okay.But I was like, oh, do you want to come to System of a down with me?And he was like, yeah, I'd love to, you know, because he's British.Yeah.And I bought us tickets.and then, obviously he gave me the money for his ticket.And then we went and watched at the town hall.But it was so funny because the town halls,
55:58I'm trying to think of what the thing in Vancouver,like quite a fancy,where they play orchestral.The Orpheum, it was kind of like that.The Queen Elizabeth.Yes, but then you've got like search tank in there.So there was like people trying to mosh.Oh, wow.
56:10And the like bottom stalls.You know, like not on the ground part in the orchestra pit or what?I don't know, that part in the front.The mosh pit.Yeah, the mosh pit.So they were like trying to like get something going.And then there was like people.sitting up in the...
56:23God, my theater terminology is not...I love the idea of a cellistlike jumping off the stageand getting carried around.Yeah.But I was like up in the upstairs partand then I just remember just like cryingbecause it was so good.
56:37And then the date...I think you're pretty emotional.I guess so.You're trying a lot of stuff.Only a system of a down concert.And Othello.Oh yeah, but that's so sad.And then if I remember like date to her,
56:48it was like, you're right that.Like I think he thought something was like actuallywrong?Because I was just like, it's so good.Yeah.But it's just, I don't know.Anyway, it was a matinee.Yeah, back to this.
57:02All kids.Oh, yeah, of course.My dad had never seen it and didn't know it.And so he, like, asked his friend, hey, you know theater, right?Do you think the Lion King would be appropriate for children?Absolutely not.And so, but yeah, I was too.Two and a half hours long.
57:23We, that is long.We were just far enough away that, like, when there was big stuff happening on stage, it was great.Yeah.But when there wasn't big stuff happening on stage, it was like, what is, what's the point?And, like, at intermission, we went through the program, and there's three different kids who play young Simba.Yeah.In, at different performances.But, so we wanted to know which of the three kids we were seeing.
57:49And they all have their Instagram pages, they're bingle bongle.pages on the in the program and so we looked them out and from where we were sitting welooked at three different Instagram pages and we couldn't tell which was the kid we wereseeing oh they all looked so similar we just couldn't make them we just couldn't make out theface they all and like because is everybody in it in a mask or a puppet or when he's youngSimba he doesn't have a mask he's just a guy he's just a guy right and then there's like aTomon and Pumba.Yes.
58:22They are, like, big puppets that are, like, a lot of it is sort of taking the Disney movie and making it more theatrical and making it sort of like symbolic and like a little bit more like kind of African looking lion heads.But Tumon and Pumba are like Disney characters that they just have in suits.Why not?They have to be, because they're funny.Yeah.Yeah.And then they throw in a few local references.Oh, I love that.
58:55But, like, each place they go to?I guess so.But they've been here for a few weeks.We're lost.What is this?Kitsilano.Yay.It was.
59:03Exactly, right?The, like, curtain comes down and one of them goes,looks like a shower curtain from Canadian tire.It's pretty good.And then someone said they were hungry.Yeah, but not for timbits.It's like they just Googled Canada.It's the thing is that it works.
59:26Yeah.I went and saw the comedian Chris Fleming, you know, Chris Fleming.I wanted to see him.And he would throw in a local reference, not even as a punchline, and the crowd'severy time.So it works.Yeah.It's a foolproof.
59:40You can tell it.Who was talking?Who was I talking to recently that was from out of town?and they could tell, they didn't get any of the local references,but they could tell, oh, someone went to a showat Little Mountain Gallery, who was from out of town,and they could tell that these are local referencesbecause they would get a big reaction,
01:00:02but they didn't understand them.Yeah, yeah, yeah.And I try to do that when I would go to a small town,I would try and drop a local reference.Never worked.Yeah.Never worked once.Really?
01:00:11It never worked for you?No.It's because you're phony.Yeah.It's because I think a part of you,like, was a part of you being like,I'm such a hack, as you were telling it.Oh, that's every time I go on stage.
01:00:21That's kind of my pep talks to myself.No, but I feel like because you're like good comedian, not to like flatter you on the,but you're such a good, you're such a good comedian that I think if your brain.And a good person.And a good person.Hey, come on you guys.I'm blushing over here.Like you're such a good writer and you're so clever.
01:00:37I think if you were doing something that was just a cheap laugh, I think your brain would be like, stop it.You know, like.Well, and it's, like, you know, I would, if I went to a small town,I learned this from a documentary about Bruce Valanche.Okay.He would go to town.He would read the local paper.He would write a whole, like, 20-minute chunk just based on the town.
01:00:58Of a coffee.Yeah.And, like, the town people have to know, they have to have read that newspaper, too.So if you're talking about some local thing and people like, wait on.Yeah, we're illiterate.I used to have a bit, when I did stand up, a Canadian, or Tim Horton's bit, and I, it was so hacky.Yeah, I hated it, but it killed every time.And if I'm not doing well.
01:01:21If you need it, you grab it.Yeah, yeah.I've got stuff that I grab if I need, but if I was like showcasing, I wouldn't be like, eh.I would.Anyway, Lion King, check it out.Yeah. It's here for like weeks, right?I think it's almost done.Oh, okay.
01:01:39That's why we were like, my dad said, hey, if we could get tickets, would you and the kids want to go?Yeah, sure.I totally forgot about itOh shitAlso when you get the ticketsIt like he bought the tickets onlineIt was sold out I guessSo you had to buy it through a third party
01:01:58YeahBut it's officially through Ticket MasterIt's so confusingAnd then they send you the ticket byOn email you click on itIt says use your phoneI don't know how they expect old peopleTo be able to go anywhere
01:02:14Yeah I couldI needed to download twoseparate apps to get it.Like, the Ticketmaster app itself doesn't work because it's, there's a separate one justfor theater.You need an app now for every single thing.It's like you need an app for everything.Yeah, every single thing.
01:02:29It's like, you're traveling?Get the bus app.I don't like, actually.I do have a bus app.It used to be you could just like.That's on my list.I'm still using the card.But now they won't even.
01:02:38The transit app is amazing.Or the radar app?No, it's just called transit.Oh, okay.It's just that it'll tell you what time your bus is actually.comingand it's delayed.The radar app
01:02:48does that.Okay.It's called radar.But you used tolike just email you likeyou can print out your ticket.You can load it onto your phone.But now it's like,
01:03:01have you seen when there's like abarcode that's like moving?Yep.And you can't print that out.No.And it was at a show.Moving barcodes?Yeah.
01:03:12It's like it usually shows like a pictureof the thing that you're seeingand it has this barcode that's moving around.I've never seen a moving barcode.Well, I mean, welcome to the future.I got to add that to all my movie list.There was, I did a show this past Sunday,and a woman had bought fake tickets.
01:03:33Oh, wow.And it's not like it was an expensive show,but she bought them on like Stubhub or whatever,but they were fake.And she had it printed out,and the guy was running,it was like, I really don't know what to do here.like, this is unheard of.
01:03:47So he let her in, but...Where was this?This was at the Hollywood Theater.Oh.It was great, great place to do a show.What did you see there?Or you were doing a show.I was doing a show.
01:03:58Oh, yeah.But I felt, we all felt bad for this one, but it was like,but these tickets were easy to,why would you go on Stub Hub?Why would you just go on the original?Stub, like, I find when you buy things from the Stubhub or Seat Geek or whatever,They send you to the official place.Like, you get sent to an official thing.
01:04:20Yeah.Weird.Anyway.When I bought...Maybe she just faked those tickets and was like, whoop.Yeah?Someone else.Well, yeah.
01:04:29And he, like, the guy who runs at Aaron, who always puts on a fantastic show.It was Joker's Canada, right?His Joker's Canada, right?Such a good show.Such a good show.And he, but he was completely like, what do I avoid this in the future?And I was like, I guess you don't.Like, I guess this is just that what are you?
01:04:45You're going to do as a guy that's booking the show.You cannot let them in.Oh, yeah.I guess there's, like, things that are like event bright or whatever or like tickets tonight.Yeah.Yeah, yeah.I mean, say what you will, a ticket master.They run a tight ship.
01:05:00That's true.Yeah, your show pass, et cetera.Yeah.I remember years and years ago, do you know Doug Stanhope?Yes.He was.I watched Road Dog.Is that?
01:05:14Now, I don't know that.I don't know Ernest.What?You guys haven't seen Rotog?I can't believe it.There we go.You guys.Where have you guys even been?
01:05:26Do you even watch comedies?What the hell?My mind is blown.You should have seen the gesturing shoes.She was moving all over the play.She was way too big for the camera.Luckily we're not, Phil.Lucky this is just radio.
01:05:41These are gestures for radio.Your director would have been like,He would have been like, Sophia.How could you?I will one day play Thorin.No, he didn't play Thorin.Who did he play?Who's Thorin?
01:05:56Let me look at it up.Let me look up.Oh, this was before the...This was the Hobbit.This was before the Hobbit, though.Yeah.He had not yet been into Hobbit.No, this was when he was directing.
01:06:07From director to the Hobbit.He played Oin.He played Oin.He played what?Oin.So you know how there's Oin and Gloin?No, but spell Oe.O-I-N.
01:06:16O-I-N.Oh, okay.O-I-N.So, like, this is, like, this is, this is the guy, because he's, well, he's picturedhere with gloin.Okay.Also pictures of Gloin.Because you know how in the Hobbit they do, like, when in the book, they're like,
01:06:27what's oin and gloid?Hey, by the way.Keeley and keely.No, I don't know anything about the hobbit.Okay.This guy.Yeah, that looks like he's in the right movie.Yeah.
01:06:36Right.I know, I've got kicked in the gloin.Ooh.Anyway, Doug Stan.Yeah.So, Road Dogg is.There's a film recently, and Doug Stanhope plays the lead.It came out last year, and it's just like a sad old road dog comic.
01:06:50Okay.Who's, like, trying to get sober.And that's, like, the whole movie.Like, it's kind of the character he played in Louis.It's like, I think they based it around that almost.Like, it's kind of that.Now, you brought up Doug Stanhope for a reason?Oh, because he was, uh, when brown paper tickets came out, he was like, he was
01:07:07affiliated with them and they weren't a great ticket service.Yeah.They tried.I know.I don't know brown paper tickets, but I'm going to.stop pointing out what I don't know and just laugh a lot.I mean,it's going to be like,
01:07:19ah,but men for brown paper tickets?It's just one of these,um,yeah,one of these things that's not ticket master that,where you're like,hey,
01:07:27that's good.I'm glad you,you put this on event bright.Yeah.And then,uh,you know,you're getting ripped off,
01:07:34right?They got no protections that event break,you know?Well,uh,I don't know,man.That was Joe Biden,
01:07:42like one of Joe Biden's big things.which he needed more big thingsHe didn't likeFees in TicketsThat was like his bigLike shrinkflation was one of his big thingsAnd like the more I thought aboutI was like Joe Biden's right
01:07:59But I think he needs to pick a different issueTo like champion his campaignBut he was like they're putting hidden fees in ticketsAnd we've got to stop itIt is trueI bought some tickets from TicketmasterAnd I can't goSo I sold one of them
01:08:13I told my ticket and it's very weird because it's like they tell you like you resell itthrough ticket master and they tell you here's what people are selling them for yeah and I'm likeI'll go a little lower nice yeah yeah yeah someone will buy mine first marketplace no through ticketmaster oh through ticket master okay and then but then they're like okay you're selling it for uh for 84so you will get 71 dollars and then I went and looked it up and the person buying it is paying$100.Wow, that's worse than Biden even said.Yeah, I know.
01:08:49That's crazy.But he really, he ate a mean ice cream pill in that job.He wore some cool sunglasses.He gave a great massage.It's a cool guy.Yeah, it was a cool guy.Probably the coolest president.I mean, he wasn't a bad ombra, like his friend just Scorpio or whatever, Slurp Dog.
01:09:10I am lost.Wasn't it like, well?It was corn pop.Corn pop.He told a story to the press about when he was a kid,and there was a kid in a rival gang named Corn Pop.And, like, he just told this rambling, like, the oldest man, old story.And the press was just, like, helpless.
01:09:28They couldn't interrupt.And he...I got to watch them, though.We loved corn pop.We love corn pop.So that's what's going on with me.I saw The Lion King.Pretty cool.
01:09:39It's pretty cool.Like, the first five minutes, the last five minutes, incredible.There's a few other great puppet things that happen in the middle.There's like, they do some cool chases with, like, shadow puppets.Oh, fun.And then, but yeah, those, there's like, in the program it says songs by Elton John and Tim Rice.Additional songs by a bunch of people I haven't heard of.And Hans Zimmer.
01:10:03Oh, really?And none of those additional songs hit with me.Yeah.Was it yet an intermish?Intermish.And sold out, like, packed.Of course.Just, I mean, so much more expensive than a movie.
01:10:17And I go to movies all the time and they're never sold out.And I enjoy them more.Yeah.Yeah, that's true, man.But you get to be part of live art.Yeah.Yeah, people playing past the sausage on stage.I can see it.
01:10:32I can see it several times that sausage.Yeah, look for it, guys.Look for it.What's going on with you?Well, we're in September now.the leaves are starting to turn a little bitI've seen some leaves have turned yellow alreadyYou're like looking at us
01:10:48You guys have you given to check out of the three?I have seen some leaves changing colorsI've even seen some red onesYeah yeah so it's like it's on the wayNo brown yet butBut can't be too far behindAnd so I realized yesterdayThat my shot at eating another
01:11:05Summer peach goneReally? It's over for the yearIt's not going to beYou don't think there's one screglypeach.I don't want toeat ascraggly peach.
01:11:15We hadwe had twothis has beena great summerforfur fruit for mepersonally.Yeah, no,
01:11:22it isbecause last yearthere was nopeaches becausethe weatherconditions were so dryand they didn't growand the figs got
01:11:30the figsthere was no figsyeahand like this yearfig fando love a good figyeahthat seems like
01:11:37an New Zealandthings.Just some figsfor me please.Just plaina figs for meBut I knew...They stopped you at the door.
01:11:49Ah, no outside figs.Watch!Oh, at the play, there was someone trying to bring it.Like, I snuck in some snacks for my kids.Nice.And I was like, we have to be sneaky.But they, you know, they won't care.And the person in front of us had a Starbucks coffee,
01:12:04and they were like, you have to drink that right now.Okay.Did they chug it?Time me.It was like an old lady.Oh, come on.I love the old lady with her drink.I know.
01:12:14Peaches.And last night I had the last of the delicious ear of corn.It's corn season also closing up shop.I think you're, I mean.You think there might be some more time to get.I think we might have a couple weeks to get.You shop around.You'll get a couple good peaches.
01:12:33Yeah, I really hope so.Because I had, we had two left that I just didn't touch for like five days.Me too.And they were on my counter.I find my problem is I'll buy a piece of fruit like a mango or a peach and I'm like,it's a little hard, but I'll buy it now.It'll be soft in a couple days at home and it never gets soft.It just gets wrinkly.
01:12:53Like the skin just gets.So I have a fix for this, but you may already know.Okay.I don't.Well, you want to put your, if you want to ripen your counterfruit, like an avocado or something,you want to put it in with a banana because the bananas let out enzymes that ripen other fruit.Oh.So I put my avocados.
01:13:09It's like sometimes I buy bananas just to ripen my other stuff, and I don't necessarily get through it.And then I got to, like, put them in the freezer.But it works.Like, my avocados, they get perfect.Ah.Like, you just want to put, like, if it's, like, still a little hard, you just want to put it in with a bunch of bananas for, like, a day or two.Mm-hmm.I'm sorry, did you say in a bag or just put it on the counter.
01:13:27Like, just in the fruit bowl, you just got to have some bananas in there.An avocado, avocado, what's her, how do we say?Avocado.Yeah.I say avocado.But I'm trying to say avocado.What?I think in America, they say avicca.
01:13:41Oh, I've learned the American pronunciation.And then they, but they ripen, like, they take a while sometimes, but they always get there.Yeah.But these peaches will just like.Just start to shrivel.Yeah, they'll get saggy skin before they get soft.We bought, like, a huge tray of them from Costco.Costco had these delicious, delicious peaches.
01:14:02And you had to eat them fast because they all kind of ripen at the same time.No worries.Yeah.Two peaches a day.No problem.Over the sinkYou know itHave you ever eaten
01:14:12Too much fruitAnd had likeAn issueYesPossibly last weekAnd do we all knowWhat the issue wasNo there's different ones
01:14:24YeahLike you can break out in hivesAnd shitOh sureThat I went to my friendShe had a bag of plumsBecause like in plum seasonOn the island
01:14:31I grew up onThere was always plum treesAnd we just likeWalk on from the beachWith bags and pick them allYeahAnd then she's likeDude I messed up
01:14:37I ate that whole bag of plumsNow I'm breaking out on a ratIt was my friend Lily, the one that got caught smoking weightI remember bad kid, bad seed that LilyI remember one weekend in high school in DecemberMy dad had bought a big box of Mandarin orangesAnd a dozen sesame bagelsAnd the toilet was just
01:15:05I'll never forget itYeah, when I was a kid, my brothers and I would eat crab apples because we had, like, a tree that had crab apples.That's not yummy.No, but they were like one of the...No, they're super sour, but we're like, ooh, give me another one.Yeah.But there's only, there's a certain point the body can only handle so many crab apples before things really turn themselves inside.And also, aren't you allergic to apples?
01:15:31Yeah, I found that out as an adult, sure.But so were you...So are they all a little sour and spicy?Yeah.Because I've had some good grab apples great.Oh, sure.I mean, hey, look, they were great.It was a very rich childhood.
01:15:45In our backyard, we have kale.Yep.That really did great this year.And we had raspberries.And the raspberries did great in the spring.And kind of by the time the end of June, there were no more raspberries.And then today, I'm looking at the raspberry bush.Two new raspberries.
01:16:05Nice.Two September raspberries.It's summer still here.Yeah, I won't.You're right.There's still two raspberries clinging.But they're new.They're not.
01:16:13They're not old ones that, like, survived the summer.They just, this is new growth.Yeah.Yeah.It's not all over.But yeah, like, you know what?Just treat every peach like it's your last peach.Did you get those donut peaches?
01:16:28No, not this year, but I do love that.They're shaped like a donut.They're like short and round.Like, they don't have a hole in them, but they.Where do you get them from?But they can.kind of have an indentation.Yeah, they got like a little.
01:16:41Someone breed a peach with a donut?Yeah.Yeah, of some cup.Like these.They look like that.Whoa.Yeah, they do look like donuts.And they're delicious.
01:16:53Don't get me wrong.But, uh, just they've just been in normal, normal, you know, interior of BC peaches.I've been having so much watermelon this summer.Oh, my God.I never really cared about watermelon in the past.But I'm a cantalope guy.You know this.Yeah, I love cantaloupe.
01:17:09Do you generally like drier fruit?Drier?I find some people obsessed with wetter fruits.Like, they're like, they want the watermelons.They want, but then if you lean cantalote.No.I don't think wetness is a consideration.I just never thought that, they were that, like, sweet.
01:17:26They just, like, were, they were more wet than they were sweet, and they've been so sweet.Yeah.But did you, how many watermelon do you think you ate this?Um, no, maybe like two giant, two full ones.I buy them in the quarter cut.Yeah, yeah, yeah.Oh, having a big giant watermelon at home.In the fridge?
01:17:47Yeah.It's again, it's a race against the clock.And you don't want to waste it.No.Well, I eat it fast because it takes up so much room in the fridge.True.So maybe I had three full ones.Nice.
01:18:01Ages and ages ago, I had an overheard on the podcast where it was a family standingaround is at an intersectionthey were standing arounda watermelon that had been smashed on the groundand the dad saying to the familyit was the last oneso sadthat's such a good

01:19:40They had one that was pumpkin pie and had pieces of crust.Well, now they have a mango peach one that has a mango peach pie one that has pressed in it.Oh, God damn it.Well, I can't have it.You can't have most things.Yeah, that's true.Why can you have that?Gluten.
01:19:54Oh, because of the pie pieces.I think about Graham's diet quite often.I'll be on.I'm like, Graham couldn't eat any of the.I appreciate that.There's a lot.There's a lot.I forget a lot.
01:20:04And growing all the time.time you know always new ones yeah um a growing list yeah of allergens exactly uh and i watchedthe other thing is i watched a movie last night after i ate the last what i assume cob of corn of thesummer uh and i don't know if you ever do this where you see a movie and within the first shotyou're like that was shot in vancouver oh yeah yeah it was literally it was a movie was it the gabby's dollhousemovie what is that it's this kid's show called gabby's dollhouse andthey made a movie of it where they go to Cat Franciscoand they got like shots of San Francisco
01:20:39but then like you literally see abus that says Upper Lonsdaleon it. Yeah. That wasyeah, this old movie from maybe theaughts Renee Zellwiger and Bradley Coopersizzle on screen together in a movie calledCase 39. I would probably quite like this.Well you wouldn't because it's terrible
01:21:00but it was very very bad.It doesbeing in Vancouver though it doeskind of hold your interest a little bityeah no the first scene like when they showed the house she livedand I was like that's a that's a Vancouver stylehouse and then the next sceneyou could see a banner for Vancouver Art Gallery
01:21:16but the big tip off was it supposed to be set in OregonI was like that's Vancouver for sureif it's said in Seattle Oregonthat's Vancouver time so it was funit was fun to see all the different places and guess whereyou'd start watching the following the plot and you were just likeoh yeah I didn't there it's one of the things likewhere the description of the movie
01:21:36is the whole movieand so the twist is given awayin the description so you're just sitting there likewhen are they going to figure outthat the kid's the devil like whatI mean I figured it outkind of in the first like two or three minutesof the movie is it a scary movie
01:21:55yeah it's supposed to be spookyCase 39 doesn't sound scarywell she's a social worker and this is case 39she ends up taking home a girl with the parents tried to kill her because she was the devil.Turns out she's actually the devil.See, the thing is, in real life, it would take you a long time to figure that out.Absolutely.Yeah, you wouldn't just, like a kid wouldn't be being aware of him like, that's the devil.
01:22:20Like even if a kid frost at the mouth a little, you'd be like, oh, take her to the doctor.You know, you wouldn't be like, devil, you know, unless you were.Well, at one point she tells Renee Zelliger that she's got to do everything that she asks.And the things that she wants to do as a kid, she's a giant bowl of popcorn and watches an Obie Trice video on TV.Obie Trice is a friend of Eminem.Yeah.Okay, good.Yeah, he's a pal of Eminem.
01:22:45I didn't know.I didn't know that.But it just seems so random that it was Obitrice of all.I love when they have, like, well, clearly the parent company of this film studio.For what they can show.It's also the parent company of this record company.so it was very it was very dumb but it was really fun to see like all theVancouver locations if there's a companion did you watch the whole like did you watch right

01:29:51Yeah.As I say, I was eavesdropping a lot this week since I got the call.Some of my eavesdrops were very unfruitful.I listened to a whole conversation on a train where all they did was compare the Evo price.If they had driven to each stop they got to.She was like, $40?Oh, no.I was like, I can't use this.
01:30:11But then in my building, I was, you know, in the lobby going to the elevator.And there was a girl about my age.And she sprained her arm.She was like a, you know, sore arm in a sling.And there was another guy getting in the elevator with us.And he said to her, he's like,oh, what happened to your arm?And she said, I was at Joey's drinking, and I fell off the barstle.
01:30:38Embarrassing way to break.And she said, so I'm suing them.Oh.Those bar stoles are too high.Oh, okay.And then he was like, oh, can you sue people over the height of their bar stools?and she was like, yeah, they messed up.This is going to be here.
01:31:01Wow.Yeah.Can you sue people when you're drunk?I don't know, but then I was thinking about it because I was like, yeah, if I fell off a bar stool, I would never be like, God, what have they done?Call my lawyer.If I fell off a barstool and I had been drinking, I'd be like, I should stop drinking.Yeah.I'm suing Budweiser.
01:31:20Yeah.Like, I walked into a table on my way to stage on Saturday night and smashed a glass and I wasn't even drunk.And I wasn't like, these tables are too low.Yeah.Like, you'll be hearing from my legal represent, you know.Have you ever had a thing where you're like looking back and you're like, I could have sued.I could have sued if I.But I was too embarrassed.
01:31:39Yeah, exactly.Too shy.Yeah.Yeah, I just feel like there's been things in the past.I find living well is the best revenge.New Zealanders don't sue as well.That's a North American.Like, I don't think British people really sue.
01:31:55I don't think Kiwis and Aussies.like it's like something we're like do you like I've been watching movies as a kid in Americathey're like I'm going to sue you and I'm like you can just sue I don't even know what suinglike nobody sues anyone in New Zealand that's just not like we just have accidental coverfrom the government or for everything right like I don't know but I know but like yeahsuing is a very North American thing I agree there was a comedian it's veryit's very North America it's especially American America yeah they're like I'm going to sue youI was like.
01:32:27Well, that's, I hate to bring his name up.That's like Donald Trump's whole career was just suing people.And I do think it stems from not having the like social securities as well.Like, it's like, you are like, oh, man, I don't sue you.I'm screwed.Like, I think there is that tension.Yeah.There's a comedian that used to be around there, Todd Allen.
01:32:44And he had a joke about being sued where he's like, that's really when I became a man because you cannot sue a check.That's a great joke.I had a great joke.and when I was in college I took a law courseand one of the things wasGod I don't even remember itbut I made my teacher laughbut it was about like

01:39:01Of a large military hospitalI got to tell you about my morning run tooIf I eat too many of those orangesCrabapplesMy morning run goes pastThe campus of a large military hospitalThe hospital also has other amenitiesLike tennis courts
01:39:16And as I'm running pastI hear over a loud speakerfrom the tennis courts.If you don't win this game, you're getting deployed.It all depends on this.So really go for it, you guys.Is that a thing?Or is that just a thing that the coach said to get them going?
01:39:34I was a joke.I think it was a joke.This is what I was saying.Sometimes I take stuff dead serious.But also, that's an American thing because I've never heard of anyone going past a largemilitary hospital that had tennis courts, no less.Yeah, I don't even think we have.have our military is dressed
01:39:52as orcs half of the time. Yeah, I wouldn'tbe surprised if America did have some crazystuff where they're like, if you lose your ownOh, sure, yeah, yeah.High stakes poker game. Yeah, yeah.Well, I mean, it's sort of that outer game of tennisthat they're playing.This next one comes to us from
01:40:10Dan from Brooklyn. I'm currentlyamidst cubicles in Manhattantyping on a computer. Momentsago, nary a cubicle away.There was a small clutch of youngprofessional ladies chatting aboutsomething. This is all I caught beforethey decided to continue conversation elsewhere.
01:40:26I think that I wouldhate having a really hotdentist. That would be the worstcase scenario. Oh, yeah.It's hard to focus. Your dentistis really hot. Do you have to focuswhen you're in the chair? I guess to...Yeah.
01:40:40Yeah, but when I see a hot dentist, likea super hot dude, I'm like,oh, my jaw is on the floor already.like having my mouth open.I have,it's a crazy thing is likeI have a dentist office,but I don't have a dentist.
01:40:58It's just whoever happens to bethe featuring act.It's like a hot mic of Graham's dental care.I think they're,it's like.Who wants Graham?Yeah, yeah.I think a lot of like dental offices
01:41:10are just owned by companies now.Yeah.And they hire and like dentists are transient.I feel like this is bad for people.I think so too.Like everything that's happening in health care.I think this is bad.Yeah, I agree.
01:41:22Although the one good benefit of it was I was being told by two dentists there that I needed a crown.And then another dentist was like, you're fine.And you went with the one that said you're fine.Of course.Yeah.I'm going with one that tells me what I want to hear.Yeah, but they also, that's money to them getting a crown.That's like a ton of money.
01:41:41I'm sure we've talked about this before.But like, just the fact that it's happened to me and it's happened to many other people who are like,the dentists are like, well, maybe.Maybe every four months for you instead of really six months.Do you think they just, they lie to.I think, yeah, I think it's a money-making thing.Yeah.Because they are, they need to get those numbers up.
01:42:00But I had the same dentist from childhood all the way up till, you know, first year university.And he's still a dentist.He's still added all these years later.But you just had one, back of my day, just had one dentist, stuck with him.The dentist on the island I grew up on was the richest man that any of us knew.Like, he owned like a whole.beach with like the sprawling mansion.Really?
01:42:24Yeah.And I was like, man, big dentistry.Yeah, yeah.Maybe I have a crush on him now.Yeah, it's crazy.I think Chris Rock had a bit about, like, in his neighborhood, it's him, Mary J.Blige, another very famous black person.Yes, I've seen this joke.
01:42:42And then some dentist.They make a lot, like a summit.And that's why they're often in the news for, like, killing.animals in safari.You know, like, there was that dentist.Yeah, that's right.Yeah, but in my mind, there's a lot of them now.You're like, it was one guy, and I'm like, it's always...
01:43:01Christian Bale is a psychopath.Dentists are all big game hunters.This last one comes from Stephen, Parts Unknown.This walking from my car to the bar, man one, peeking out a door looking for his friend.He sees his friend in the distance walking away.Oh, he's leaving.Man, too, don't worry, he's just going to get ice cream with that cute British boy.Man, one, he's not British, he's from here.
01:43:26Man, too, yes, I know, but he has an accent tonight.What's going on?I think he's putting on an accent to impress somebody.This is a situation I have some experience with.Well, Sophia's been doing this whole episode.This one I've been doing this whole time.I'm not actually from this.Do you hear a regular Canadian voice?
