Hi, he's Dave Shumka. And he's Graham Clark. And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself. Woo! Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 938 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name's Graham Clark. And with me as always, is a man. We know that they're long distant in the past now, but we're two guys that just love those five rings.

Mr. Dave Shokker. Yeah, we are pre-taping a bit. It's Olympic time is still in our hearts. Yeah. And we're going to try to keep the Olympic spirit alive throughout the year. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, carry it with you for the next, well, two years. Yeah, and just remember the reason for this season is those, that glowing torch and those five circular ring.

What do you think will be Los Angeles's torch? What, like, or a cauldron. Like, do you think it's going to be? Oh. Because like, are there all. An air one cup. That's good. Do you know what heroin is?

No. It's a big, uh, smoothie. store. Oh, that's good. It's a fancy grocery place with $20 smoothies and like a $20 strawberry or something. I think that the base price is a $20 smoothie too. Like you could just max that smoothie maxing. Yeah, I've been smoothie maxing.

Now that voice you hear, you know who she is. She's one of our all-time favorite guests. She's a good friend and she's a comedian and writer. It's Alicia Tobin. Hi, bumpers. I love that. Oh, bumper, get on my truck. Keep going.

We're going to the dump with my friends. This is good. That's as good as any country song out there. Maybe. Yeah. I wouldn't know. I don't really listen to country music. Are you a country music person?

I like the old stuff. Yeah. Yeah, I don't like the, I like new stuff. Only like 2026 and newer. Your freshest wine. I was listening to the pop radio and there's a song that's very, it's not Taylor Swift, but it sounds like someone trying to be Taylor. Swift. Oh, I think I know the one.

Oh, how does it go? Is it the one that's like, it doesn't sound like Taylor Swift's music, but it sounds like her, maybe that's... Sounds like she wrote it. Yeah. It's the one that goes, um, I think about those days, these days. I think about a 98, Chevrolet, and then names a bunch of things from the late 90s. But like that seems to be the country mode of the day.

Yes. Is list things. My favorite thing was... I got a shirt and a hat and a handkerchief. Chief, too, and I'm wearing pants, and I took a big poo, and it was brown with shades of Auburn and maybe a little bit of red. Now, everybody dance. Not that way. Did you see the guy on the alternate Super Bowl halftime show with Kid Rock?

No. The country guy. He literally, his song was, I just want to catch my fish. I just want to drink my beer. I just want to drive my truck and not hear things on the news that I don't want to hear. Really? Yeah. I'm interested.

Yeah, yeah. It's worth seeking out. And then, of course, Kid Rock's lip sync during his number. But what did he do? But what? But what did he do? Let's get to know us.

Okay. Get to know us. Alicia. Did you watch the Super Bowl that's now two months ago. I have yet to see the Super Bowl halftime show. I just saw clips on the internet. I watched it on the internet after the fact.

And guess what? I cried. It's very well done. He says, I'm kind of saving it. He addresses the camera and he says, the reason I'm here is because I believed it myself. And you should believe in yourself too.

Yeah. I only learned that later. And he also mentions Canada in it. Yes, that part I saw as well. Well, I'm so proud of Bad Bunny for being such a great guy and he's so handsome. I don't know if he's a great guy. We might find out he's not a great guy. Yeah, gosh, of course.

Don't ever say anyone's a great guy. Yeah, or, yeah, you're right. I really. Who do you feel like might be on the bubble? Like, is someone who we think is a bad guy who might actually be good or a good guy who might. Like, you know, could like it's, he's right in the. Well, for sure, Ryan Reynolds. Oh, okay.

That's a good candidate. I'd say Dolly Parton. Everyone says she's so nice. That, I, wow. I mean, that's a, that's a risky one. Yeah, mine is Ken Jennings. Ken Jennings. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. But I mean, it seems impossible. But, you know, it's impossible. I know. But, like, that's what's so great about it. Let's make it a little darker.

Who of our friends? Who of our friends who might be evil? Oh. Let's bleep it out, but. Oh. Don't bleep it out. Fuck that guy. Just bleep out his last name and so that the closest circle will know.

That's bleeped. It's all bleeped. Can't unbleep it. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Now, Alicia. Yes. What have you been up to low these many months since the last time we had you on, which I think was almost a calendar year ago?

I think it's a bit longer. Really? I think, I don't know, actually. You know what? Going to the tape. I know that I wasn't, I'm not 100% sure, but it's probably a good time, too. And it's just I have to search for it. It's, oh, God.

Alicia? Yeah. This is embarrassing. Al-I-C-I-A. You were on March of last year. No way. Yeah. I had thought it was a year in December.

I think about those days these days. I think I've heard this all because that's. Sounds like a Taylor Swift riff. Yeah. Yeah. Chevrolet, no way. What's the little lyric? Fake ID something in back bars.

No one knows this song. This song is maybe five years old. Okay. Well, I'm still unemployed. Okay. But I'm still approaching it like I'm semi-retired, as you know. Yeah. Every day I've got a little project on the go.

Tell us about some of these projects. Well, last week, I made cookies for the Shemka. They were great. They were peanut butter. They were not made for the Clark House world. There was in our buy nothing group for this neighborhood. There was a couple that were reaching out for support. So I made them and Graham contributed all the things you'd need to start a household, like all those shampoos and stuff. All the things you need.

Running through your house, running through your house. So I spent like several days organizing and buying cleaning supplies and body care stuff and our friend Aaron's company donated a bunch of household goods from Danica home, which was really sweet. And did the place that they found was close to the park where they had been living or don't? No, actually, they're now in East Van. Okay. But there was a couple that had been living in one of our local parks for like quite a

long time and they finally found housing. Wow. So they needed like everything to get started. Yeah. So all the things you need. Yeah, all the things we need. One of the things that somebody, I can't remember what. the context was, but saying when you're trying to, if you were starting from zero, what you,

would you be surprised was so expensive for replace? And they said spices. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I thought about doing spices, but I wanted to just do all the cleaning products you would need for your body and your home. Yeah. And I got them like brand new towels because how nice is it to have brand new towels? Oh, yeah, yeah. I went, uh, speaking of spices, I went out, uh, I had some errands run and they were the kind of thing where I needed to wait around. And, uh, uh, I, uh, So I went and I had lunch and the place I went had spicy ketchup on the table, spicy housemaid ketchup. Yeah?

And the spice was cinnamon. You can't say something spicy if it's just. Yeah, it's spiced. It's spiced. Yeah, most flavored, seasoned. It's like cinnamon is seasoning. Yeah. It's a spice.

Yeah. And seasoning is salt and pepper or seasoning is a general term? Seasoning is, you know what? Must be a general time. I feel like on Top Chef, when they said something was under-seasoned, it just meant salt. Okay. But I think of, you know, everything is seasoning. Yeah, I mean, and like what do you do?

If it's a little powder that you sprinkle on food, it's seasoning. Yeah, that's what I was going to ask. Mrs. Dash. Oh, I love Mrs. Dash. She was savory, Mrs. Dash, or was she sweet? She was savory. Ooh, product idea. Yes, sweet Mrs. Dash.

Blipe it out. Blipe it out. Blame it out. Oh, I have. Played it out. Like it out. And then we will send the email after. We will make a pitch.

Australian coffee. It's probably a good time to tell the listeners that I have a concussion. Sure. And that's what else I've been up to. I got home alone. Yeah. I was organizing something in a closet and then two shelves. You know like IKEA planks that you buy to put on shelves.

Uh-huh. I had stored them in a way that they were completely jammed in so they wouldn't fall down. But then I moved the thing underneath them and the two shelves came sliding. directly at my face from above. And for six days, I didn't know that I was concussed. I was just like, man, this week has been really hard. Yeah. I am having a hard time.

And then I had to go to the ER. And what do they, when you say you got home alone, I assumed you just threw a party with a bunch of mannequins. I got hit in the face by a household item. Sure, yeah. Of the home alone, bad guy traps, what was your guy's favorite? Paint can. Paint can. Classic.

Oh, the one I think I would hate the most is stepping on a nail. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Sorry. But, yeah, my favorite of them was probably, well, like, the violent traps. Yes, the violent traps. The thirst traps. I guess iron in the face is pretty good, too.

Oh, yeah. That was a classic. I like the, like, blamethrower type thing where he's burning his head. And he just stands there taking it. They did that a lot. I'm burning my hand. I'm going to hold it on here. I'm stepping on a nail.

Well, you know what? I'll trust my. I'll put my whole weight on this. So you have six days of what is the symptoms? Just groginess? Bad mood? As I mentioned to Graham, there are like all the things that are already parts of my daily life and personality just times like 10.

So I didn't, it wasn't severe, so I didn't get a black eye. I didn't throw up. I didn't die in my sleep. Although I was afraid to fall asleep the first night because I thought, what if it is a concussion? And then this is how I go. And then I thought, oh, well. Yeah. Good night.

Well, the thing is, so tired. So I fell asleep when I was donating blood, which they did not think was cool. Just as a while you were concussed? Yeah, so I showed, I had to give, I didn't have to, but I had planned to give blood on the following Monday. a day and a half later. And the entire time, I was just like, I am really fucking this up. And it's something I've done quite a bit. But I showed up 30 minutes late.

And I double-checked the time three times. And then I just stood. There's a kiosk now where you can put in your, like, barcode or whatever and go through much quicker. And then I just stood and looked it until someone came and helped me. And then I forgot, like, my birthday. Oh, God. And I was, like, kind of sweaty. And I was like, is this perimenopause?

Is this what everyone's talking about? Graham and arrow, he's talking about it. You should be. You should be. Yeah, I do. Because it's coming. Hurry, both.

Very menopause. The lead singer of Jane's addiction. No, he's the guy that is in the courtroom. You're both blocked. I'm going to finish off the podcast on my own. And then I, yeah, like, I just was having a difficult time. And then it took 20 minutes for them to find a vein, which has never happened. Yeah.

And I was so frustrated by everything. Did they try to go between your toes? Yeah. They're like, how about he are? Like, no, please. I always tell them to drain the main vein. You know the one. And then so you fell asleep?

Yeah, and you're not allowed to fall asleep while you're donating blood because they think you've passed out. Right. But I also fell asleep. Or do they go, come on, let's get another bag here. She doesn't even notice. But also, what's the difference? Like, did you not pass out? I'm not sure because I do remember also falling asleep a couple of times.

sort of spontaneously during last week and thinking that was a bit weird. Well, they do at the blood donation place, Canadian blood services, they do have a lullaby lady coming around. The sandman is coming right. It drips, drop some sand in your eyes. I also was aware that I was, like,

being perceived as being weird. And that was stressing me out, but I didn't know what was wrong. And I was really irritable, sensitive to light. I did yell at somebody at the dog, at the Douglas Park. Yeah. That's not new.

That's the thing is like it's the things that I'm like my personality, like irritable, sensitive to noise. Like having ADHD and a concussion and being 50 years old. Like. Too much. You're not 50 years old. Yeah. The ADHD is great. Everybody loves it.

The, oh, when you give blood, what do you like to get? A little juice box? Well, they start you off now with a bag of tips. They make you eat first. All that. Yeah. Nice. All dressed?

No, it's the plain. Lays are my favorite. They start you off like afterwards or they start you off at the beginning? You're eating chips during the intake. How you fall asleep? It was full. I ate so many chips. Lays?

Plain lays? But they have other options. Those are just the ones I go for. They got hickery sticks? That would be the worst. That would be the worst. They would be going everywhere. Those are strictly a Canadian treat, right?

Yeah. Right. Yeah, those are real weird to eat. Yeah. Those are not a public food, a private food like cheesies. Yeah, like you wouldn't see it on a like a chip platter. I don't think you'd see kickerous things. Because you have to really like put your fingers right in.

I love them. They're delicious. Oh, yeah. You do have to kind of like robot arm grab them. Yeah. Yeah. And then I went grocery shopping after. It also took twice as long to donate blood, like to fill the bag.

The last time I checked my stats and I filled. a whole bag in five minutes. I took 10 this time. Do you have like an app? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Is it from Canadian Blood Services? No, I made it up.

I had it built. I'm an idiot. Sorry, it's the concussion. Is it from Canadian Blood Services? Yes, it is. Like, you could just put it in your notes app or whatever. That's true. Sure.

Yeah, to improve your time. What is, how often do you go? Like, every six weeks or whatever? No, I go twice a year. Oh, okay. Six months. Because I have low iron and I don't want to deplete it too much. Well, you know what would fix that?

What? Go to the home alone house. We'll smash you in the face. And then I went grocery shopping at Safeway. A story I don't generally go to, but it's near Canadian blood services. And I was buying a bunch of produce and there was no person at the cash. Like the lineups were too long. In my brain, I was just speaking French.

I was like, I don't understand this. And then I couldn't cash out. But at no point until Thursday when I was canceling dinner plans because I was afraid I was getting sick. And my friend Helen said, it sounds like you might have a concussion. And I was like, it does, doesn't it? And they called 8-1-1 in the morning. And they're like, you have to absolutely go get a CT scan. And?

C-G scan, clear. Yeah. So just a concussion. But okay. But how do they know it's for sure a concussion? And just not me being a dick. Yeah. all the other symptoms and a brief physical exam.

You're going to show you a picture of a person walking their dog without a leash and then just see. Yeah. Check my blood pressure. And they have a baseline already for all the other times. I have to go in from healing at somebody. You, we were texting the whole time. Yeah. You were in there.

A whole six days. A whole six days. And there was a guy there that you were telling about. That's my overheard though. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, but it was funny getting a play-by-play. And you know, like, it's like six in the morning.

I'm naturally, like, not great around groups of people. Yeah. I'm not bad, but I find it stressful. And there's, uh... And six in the morning, it was fairly... At St. Paul's Hospital. But it was, like, busy or a little bit emptier? It was empty.

At 8-1-1, I had a very positive experience with this. The last two times I had to go to year. For people in, I don't know if it's national, but in D.C., you can call 8-1-1-1. and talk to a nurse. And they can tell you if you need to, you know, go in. And they're always, I'm always like, I don't need to go in. They're like, you absolutely have to go in, you idiot. You know what?

I'm hanging up the phone. I don't like what I'm hearing. Well, you've tried to leave emergency rooms before with you where I'm like, I'm good and I've had a broken shoulder. I'm like, I'm all right. I'll be bye. I'll be bye. Yeah, St.

Paul's was great. And I didn't know 8-1-1 can tell you how long the wait times are per hospital, which was great. That's why I ended up at St. Paul's. And I would go back. Yeah, leave them a good review. Well, apparently,

Incredible, incredible people. Mount St. Joseph in our old neighborhood is like the place to go, but it's only open, like, post office hours. And I've been to that one, and they're right. It is good. And there's a lot of pictures of priests everywhere because it's a Catholic hospital, which I actually St. Paul says too, but it's a little bit more toned down. And it's going to get a whole new location soon, yeah. And isn't it going to be by the, is it by the Georgia Street Viaduct? This is good for the list.

Yeah, yeah. They can look this up on the map. Over by the, yeah, the viaducts and the like train station. What's going to happen to the old location? I'm hoping. Hockey Arena. Really? No.

What do you think is going to happen? Condos. Condos. And what's in the bottom? A shopper struck my. Yeah. A freshy. A freshie.

Maybe a subway, if you're lucky. No, if we're unlucky. A cadenza dental. An insurance place. What about a better? a 911 pizza. It's gone. It's gone, yeah.

Yeah. They, everybody did forget. Do you know what it is now? Cheese steaks. Oh, I was going to say. Oh. Yeah.

United 93 Pizza. Yeah. United 93 pizza. Have you ever had a Philly cheese steak? No. No, I've never had one either. I don't think I have. I've had certainly Subway's take on it.

Have you ever had a deep dish pizza? Yes. What was that like? Good. Graham and I went to Piquads in Chicago with Colt Cabana. It was good. It's not really like eating a piece. It's kind of like eating a cake.

Like it's the weird. A savory cake. It's huge. Yeah. Yeah. And deep. And like, yeah. Is it all sauce?

There's a lot of sauce. I don't think I'd like that. You get lost in the sauce. Yeah. It's not all sauce. I'd say it's all. This was pre-glutin Graham. That's true.

So I could chow down, you know. Yeah. And it just feel terrible. Yeah. But I mean, it's totally fine. It's fine. I'm just going to go have diarrhea for 10 minutes. There was somebody who told me there was a spot in town.

Ten minutes is not bad, by the way. Yeah, let me tell you about when I went to the hospital in October. Yeah. The somebody told me in town there was somebody that did Detroit-style pizza. I don't really know what that is. That is like a square pizza. Basically, I've heard it described as like when you would get. when they would make a cookie sheet pizza in the school cafeteria.

Oh, okay. But I guess like a good version of that. Yeah, because I, that's not a famous. I feel like that's not a famous. It's getting famous. Yeah? Yeah. Just write pizza more and more all the time.

Yep. Yeah. I have a quick question, though, those square pizzas or rectangular pizzas. Did you not have in the grocery stores in Alberta or BC the pre-made pizza base that was like a doughy pre-baked pizza crust and then those very sharp taste? tasting tin tomato sauce on top. Yeah, so all the pizzas my mom ever made growing up where that was the base. So you would just get it, put the top of it on.

She loved the wet pizza, too. There's like too many toppings. But like, was it, you kind of made like a motion, like, was it, you could fit it in the oven? It fit perfectly into a cookie sheet. Okay. Yeah. Nice. And sometimes people just ate them raw.

Oh, sure. Because everything was cooked already. That's cool. I remember we would get, like, in the early 90s, do you remember Boboli pizza? Yeah, yeah. I assume that's when Boboli first came out, or maybe just they started having ads for it. They had a really good ad with an Italian guy.

It's like a mama's a Buboli. And then at the end of the ad, it goes, let's see you next time. And it was a pre-cooked. Pre-cooked. But the one you're talking about, the square one, is that was the dough pre-cooked? Yes.

Okay. It wasn't as hard as, it was very spongy, almost like a sourdough. Boboli was like, I would, I didn't touch it with a 10-foot pole now, but it was freaking cool. Yeah. I used to make brie and pear and, like, balsamic reduction hors d'oeuvres with it. I thought it was so fancy.

That is pretty fancy. Not really. No? Not really. What's the fanciest of the hors d'oeuvres? Oh, that's a good question. That I would enjoy? Yeah.

I don't really know. Bacon and wrapped shrimp. Oh, yeah. I was thinking that shrimp was going to be brought up pretty quick. I'm surprised you didn't say a crowd grand go. Is that the thing you guys are upset? We're not obsessed with it. We didn't know what it was. Yeah.

Everyone thought we were crazy idiots. Because apparently it's crab and cream cheese wrapped in like a flow pastry. Yeah. And I know you, you love a shrimp ring. I was just going to say, like my all-time favorite, not that I eat a lot of hors d'oeuvres, is a deviled egg or a shrimp cocktail. Yeah. Yeah. Do you buy them regularly?

Shrim cocktail? Yeah. Well, yeah. And you just get it in the freezer section? I don't buy the ring anymore. I just buy the shrimp. Oh, and make your own. Make my own.

Because the shrimp rings are weird sometimes. They look very weird. Yeah. They often taste very salty and like I'm not against MSG, but they have this sort of like texture that does not seem good. They also kind of look like a little worm. And they're not the audience. You buy them frozen, but they're pre-cooked. Yeah, they're pre-cooked.

Okay. And the sauce is what? Delicious. You get sort of lost in the sauce? What's happening before? It's horseradish and tomato-y? Yeah. Is it tomato-y?

But it's not, it doesn't have seafood in it. No. The sauce? No. Yeah, but no, but. No. But I just, maybe I want to try the sauce. I'm dancing around it.

Do you like horse radish? Yeah, I like horse-ratish. I got, I don't think any of that sauce has not touched a shrimp. You're probably right. It leaves the factory. They drag a shrimp through it. What is shrimp cocktail sauce specifically? I just had it recently in sauce.

It's a spicy cinnamon ketchup. Cinnamon. We didn't spend enough time on that. This is the top result from the black peppercorn.com. Hi, I'm Steve. I am a foodie and self-taught cook. Nice. Hi, Steve.

All right, now let's scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll. So, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce. Wersher-s-Sher-S-S-R-S. Oh, yeah, I can't have Worses-A-Sher-Schers, because it's got sardines in it. Enchovies. Oh, anchovies, yeah. Anchovies. Anchovies are the rich version of a sardine, or are they completely different from one of that?

They're different. They're both in a tin. Yeah, that's true. And, like, do you guys, I know people that love anchovies, and they'll eat them straight out of the tin. Yeah. Is that good, or is that weird, or? Abby loves them. Yeah?

She likes them on her pizza. I like them. I like them. I'm not a big fish person. They talk about MSG. I think antrobies are a big. MSG guy. Oh, really?

Yeah. God, I love MSG. I just recently bought some, and I'm finding, challenging to work it into my repertoire, but I'm trying. You're not sprinkling on everything, just to see? No, I think I'll start, though, before it expires. Does it expire? I mean, I got a giant bag of it. I know.

From two years ago. I learned from that lesson and made sure to buy just a small container. Oh, I couldn't find a small container. But I put a little sprinkle. I sometimes put a sprinkle in my martini. Oh, nice. Oh, nice. I love martinis.

Yeah, I remember them when I was first able to drink. It was martini time. Everybody was doing martinis all the time. James B. What's that? Yeah, a song called Martini Time. Is that him? I thought it was a, what's his name?

Was it Reverend Horton? That's right. Herman Horton Hes. Good pull. I think the first time I saw you do comedy before we were friends. It was at that martini bar lounge place just off of Davies Street. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. And I remember going there and being so broke and getting like a $14 polar bear martini or something. And it came with a whopper in it, which I thought was great. Oh. Like the candy? Yeah. Oh, wow. You meant like the way that like that Caesar will have a burger hanging off of it.

When we were in college, we went to Abby and our friend Jen went to the. the Bengal lounge at the Empress Hotel. Yeah, yeah. To have martinis, which was like, it's a... It's very fancy, but it's like a colonialist Indian themed thing that's closed now. Yeah. I have a napkin holder from there. Oh, nice.

It's an elephant. I'd probably told the story before, but we went because we were like, oh, you know, I had never had a martini before. And someone recommended it. And so we went and thought it would be fun to like dress up. Yeah. And like what? Monsters. Yeah.

Just a more big. Well, Abby was a ketchup bottle. I was a. No. Mustard. Monster. Oh, yes. Catch up a lesser.

And then we went and it was very fancy. And we had, we ordered three martinis and they had like this huge martini menu. Hmm, which one should I get? They're all going to taste like burning. Yeah. And then as we're eating an older gentleman came over. came over to us and said, I highly recommend the trifle. Okay, you fancy old fuck.

It was really like out of time. Like it was, you know, even, I think I went to it when I first moved to Vancouver. Or because my grandparents lived in Victoria and I remember going there with them. How are they doing? They're up above looking down. Yeah. Damn. I always step in it.

Yeah. Dave D. Louis. For the listener, you should have seen the look on his face. You should have seen the look on Alicia's face. She was so duff, dave, don't. But yeah, it was like, it was just from another time. I feel like there was a Pith helmet that you could look at. Yeah, there was definitely like tiger skins.

Yes. Yeah. I only peered in. Yeah. I never, like, attended anything there. It's so expensive. It's crazy. Well, anything at any of the family.

Also, like, back then, like a $14. dollar martini was expensive. But now you're like, oh, that's not bad. Yeah, totally. Yeah, I had a smoothie the other day that was $16. And I feel like it's a meal. Before tip? Total.

Okay. Yeah. Is that good? I'm a wrong person to ask. Is it a meal, right, basically? I don't know. I'm a homemade smoothie guy. Yeah.

I think that like 14 to 16 is a lot of money, but I'm absolutely going to spend it to get a smoothie. Yeah. Big one, too. Was it at Body Energy? Yeah. Yeah, we love that place. I get my, I get these smoothies.

They're only like $6. They have Oreo cookies in them and sort of a white softener. Now, if you turn it upside down, what happens? Nothing. Awesome. Those are the best. Yeah, now we're picturing them at Body Energy Club. Here we go.

Splash it. Turn it upside down. Have you been to Dairy Queen lately? Yeah. Not that long. ago. What are the seasonal? Flings?

Yeah. And you love a peanut buster parfe. That's my favorite. But as I mature and grow up, I'm finding it to be a lot of ice cream. Oh, okay. Too much ice cream. Yes. McDonald's now has a Drake menu.

Based on the famous rapper? Yeah. It's the OVO. Is everything children's size? Uh-huh. Ha ha! Ha! But they have a blue-roval.

raspberry sprite that caught my mind. Oh, okay. It's weird that someone would do a collab with Drake. Yeah, it's weird, but, you know, the average person doesn't know he's a creep. Right. Okay. Yeah. Hasn't seen his DMs to 11.

Is he, are there ads that he's in? Like, I don't know. I just saw a promo. When Tim Bebes came along, like, Justin Bieber was really, he was really involved. When Ryan Reynolds's breakfast sandwich at Tim Hortons came around. Wasn't it like the breakfast bucket or something? Yeah, it was like a breakfast bucket. It was very funny advertising.

I don't know who signed off on it, but I enjoyed it because it was bad. What are the seasonal tastes? Okay, so currently the limited time at Derry Quinn, we have a chaco-dipped strawberry blizzard treat. Nope. A confetti cake blizzard treat. Nope. A mocha brownie mudslide.

Then you used 10 minutes in the bathroom for you. Yeah, mudslide in, mudslide out. Is that something minty? Mint Oreo Blizzard. Oh, yeah. But I think they always have that. These aren't, yeah, there were just three limited time ones. Somewhere new has something minty.

Somewhere new has something minty. Listen, I'm concussed. When will you now be concussed? I think it's almost done. Are you supposed to treat it in any way? Wrap your head in a big bandage? And beg for sympathy everywhere. I think it's almost done.

You're supposed to rest, but not all the time. And slowly get back to normal activities, which, of course, I didn't do for six days. It was six days. I was like, I'm walking 15,000 steps every day. So you can play football, like, pretty soon. Yeah, I'm back on the field. I think it's almost done because it was pretty mild. Yesterday, by the end of the day, I started to feel normal.

I don't know if I've ever, I mean, you could easily not know that you had a concussion, but you had, you had contention? Maybe I have a concussion? Have I had concussion? I don't, not diagnosed. You wear a helmet in your sport. You're smart about your dog. Do you wear a mouth guard? That's smart.

That was my biggest concern is it hit me in the mouth. And I thought that I was going to lose a tooth because it hurt so much. And I hurt for days. Everyone makes fun of me for wearing a mouth guard because you're supposed to wear a mouth guard if you only have the eye visor. Right. But if you have the full face cover, you don't need a mouth card. You got it. I don't know.

See, they're so important. Yeah. But I think it's also a concussion reduction reduced. Oh, really? Part of it is like, slamming your mouth shut. Yeah, and also if you do, I've learned from the Jake Paul boxing match

that if you've got your mouth closed, you can take a hit, but if your mouth's open, they'll break your jaw. Oh, shit. When the muscles are contracted. Did he get his jaw broken? Yeah. Did you not see that clip?

Prayers up. Yeah, I did. It was great, actually. It was great. And then also that same day it was, or that same week, Andrew Tate. Oh, yeah. Oh, gosh. That guy.

He had a clip this week that was very funny about him not reading books. And that books are for dumb people. A little silver lining in these days. Yeah. What you're reading right now? I am reading a book called Yellowface. And it is a very, very dark and very funny thriller about an author who steals her friends work after she dies.

And her friend was a renowned Asian writer. And she is a white woman. Oh, okay. That would never happen in real life. There's no way somebody would be parading around is a different race. It is a real, real mirror up to whiteness. Yeah. And it is very, very, very, very funny.

I saw someone was talking about, remember Rachel Dole as all? Oh, yeah. Who was the fake black lady? Yeah. And there was a tweet someone had about, like, oh, 10 years later, and yeah, I'm kind of impressed that she hasn't, like, become, like, a right-wing grifter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, she has, all you need is a little bit of profile to, like, get into the, into the, rightosphere, I guess you would call it. You need a little bit of something and absolutely nothing of a bunch of really important things. Yeah. Which is, yeah. What are you reading, Graham? I've just started reading Stamph and Tomp and Tom Conner's autobiography. Oh, wow. Great.

Yeah. It's good so far. He's like he's good, writer's good at telling the story. And as I was always with autobiographies, you're like, this person's never written anything else. This is going to be.

Is he, are there little seeds in his childhood? They're like, oh, this is where he discovers his first potato. Hey, he's smashed up the kitchen floor. Wait a minute.

Oh, he's enjoying a hockey game. How about you, Dave? I'm reading all the pretty horses by Cormack McCarthy. Oh. Is it very bleak or? Nope, not yet. Okay. It's very wordy.

Yeah, he's worthy. Problem with books right there. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Very long sentences about things, about how things look and not much happening at the moment. Oh, that can be rough. Yeah. But reading's fun, right?

We're no Andrew Tate's. We like reading. I do like reading and I really stop doing it. I'm both a reader and an Andrew Tate. When I say I'm a reader, I read two books last year. Yeah, well, yeah, exactly. Exactly. I'm not going to pretend that I read books all the time either. It is fun to do, but...

I'm not Little Man Tate. The child genius from the Jody Foster movie. I, at my show that I do every week, one of the things I do is I give away prizes, but to win, you have to ask me a trivial pursuit question. And they read me one about a chess pro. I was like, Bobby Fisher, and everybody there was like, how did he know?

I'm like, yes, there was a movie. There was a famous movie. Do you know any other Tess Master? Kasparov. Okay. So you do know. You're very smart. And there's a guy, Magnus, the young guy named Magnus.

Oh, is he the guy that goes and watches other games because he's so good? Maybe. But now he's been defeated, I think. Good. So sorry, I don't mean that. Concussed. Anything that any of us say wrong today that offends anyone, just remember Alicia's concuss. Yeah.

Exactly. So you've you've something I know about you is you love Christmas decorations But it's kind of new Yeah, it is kind of a new thing yeah But you're you've been like laser focused on buying like old old ones not a new style Unless it's something really funny yeah like the got empty the shitter hallmark Yeah that's good yeah um shitter's full shiters full yeah so sorry What's the what's the

I'm going to go to the bank after this When they look at my bank account After a year of unemployment, concussed That movie, Christmas vacation, For some people, that whole movie is shitter's fault.

That's all they get out of it. I rewatched it last year, not this Christmas, but yeah, Christmas, and I'm very interested in Soviet-era Christmas ornaments. Ukrainian Christmas ordinance.

I have 10 very old Ukrainian Ornaments on the way? On the way. From the Ukraine actually. Really? Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. That's a lot of shipping. It's got to be a lot of shipping. It's got to be a lot of shipping. It's got to be a crown jewel. What's the number one? It's got to be one. You've got to pick one.

Currently? Yeah. I'd really, really like a nice cosmonaut one from the Soviet era. Wow. In really good shape. But like, with still some of the painting on it. Like was Yuri Gagarin on it? Or LICA?

Yeah, oh, Lika. Yeah, or there's this one that's... You're still flown up there, someone. An alien in a flying saucer that's really hard to find, and it has a glass top. Oh, cool. And that I think is an Italian. And the Cosmonaut one is just the head or full body? It's a full body.

If you just Google Cosmonaut, Soviet New Year's ornament, like thousands will pop up. We're going to the tape. But I saw one last night that was. was worth, the person was asking $1,000 for it. And you can get them for like 20 bucks. Right. But there's one that was a thousand. I'm like, why?

I have a book on them. Yeah. Um, that's all in Russian. Is it this kind of thing? Yes. Okay. Oh, that's cute. That is cute.

Um, he's a little round guy. Yeah. Yeah. And because, uh, of the Soviet Union, people weren't allowed to celebrate Christmas. So there's this, there's so many. Bring it back. And they do, they brought back something because people were so unhappy. They brought back New Year.

No, I say bring back the Soviet. Oh, yeah. Well, there were some things that were good and some things that were very bad. You know, if we're going to get through this shit, it's going to be a mix of stuff, right? Sure. But there's lots of really funny ornaments and really sweet ornaments from that time. And there's ones that are just vegetables. Like there's a lot of corn ornaments, which I find very funny.

Cornments. Cornaments. Delicious. Thank you. And then right before the podcast. Yes. Yeah. I got a big sense.

head in the mail, which was great. Because you said in a text that it was the small one, and then I was like, how, and you were like, it's this big. I was like, well, how big was the big one? The Santa head? Like one of those blow molds from the, the 80s, from like the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s. They stopped making them the 90s, I think. The people would hang on their door and they had a light.

I have, I just got suggested in my feed someone whose account is, they're like, I'm the lead mom. She's just a lady. who like tests everything. My daughter got lead poisoning once and now. Everything in the world, I test for lead. I don't blame her. I'm sure she'd have a fun time with all these ornaments. Yeah, I have about 200 vintage mercury glass ornaments in a closet.

It just glows at night. Any other symptoms? Exactly, lead poisoning. It's true. Also, I've noticed that a lot of the people that are selling the ornaments are using gloves. when they're touching them. And I'm like, hmm. But they're cotton gloves that can help you.

Yeah. I love those cotton gloves. They're worn on a pair of those. They're so. I just have those gloves that have the lights in the fingertips and I do a little routine. Like an EDM kind of thing. It's my own thing, though. It's like it's an art form and it's on.

You can do it to any kind of music. Right. You don't want to be boxed in. No. Who is it that somebody was saying is very, oh, is Gene Simmons making fun? but of electric dance music. He said, I call it bloop music.

And I mean, we call it bloop. Yeah, where are the bloops? Yeah. So he's, he's right, you know. But it's a bad guy. Yeah. How come all those old people are Trump people? Huh?

How come all those guys, those free love? He's not a Trump person? He's not a Trump guy? No, because he, they butted heads on the apprentice, didn't they? Yeah. Oh, that's good. Yeah. I thought he was a right wing guy.

Well, I'm sure he is other than the. But yeah, he's not a Trump guy. Okay. Well, hey, sorry. Yeah, leave Gene Timmy's alone. Cust. You might be right, though. Like, he might just. I am prepared to be wrong any given moment of any day ever.

He might be publicly against him, but, well, I got to vote for it. Yeah, I think that's a real thing. Dave, what's gone with you? Oh, nothing. So thanks for coming out. And I have Olympic fever still, but the Olympics are over, so never mind. But what's the best Olympic you've seen? I really enjoyed the one where they all go snowboarding down together on the track and they're like.

Is it synchronized snowboarding? No, it's a race. So they're racing, but they're like pumping their legs to get going and going up over jumps. Oh, it's jumps as well. It's just only timed. Like there's no scores for the jumps. Oh, I see. There's like ramps that you go off.

That's, I didn't even know that. I think it might be called Snowboard Cross. Is that possible? Yeah, that's possible. Is it new? It's, I don't know. There's really half of, apparently there's like half as many events in the winter as the summer Olympics. Right.

So it is fun to watch all the filler. Because they'll show you every event. Oh, yeah. In the Summer Olympics, you're like, there's things going on. You're only hearing about. There was a guy the other day when I was watching the downhill slalom who lost and then threw a real hissy fit. He took off his skis and left them on the hill and then went and lied down on the hill just staring up. And they kept going back to him and the commentary was like, stop going

back to him. There's actual people racing still. And then it would cut back to him just, I love it. I do like it when people just show what they're really feeling. That's very funny. It's human drama is what it is. It's the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. Yeah. But what else is going on is last night I started watching the America's Next Top Model documentary. Oh, I can't wait. I finished it. What do you think? I mean, a lot of these documentaries that come out, like, there are things that happen in my lifetime, there's so much onboarding for people who aren't familiar.

It's frustrating. Right. Yeah, I know it was a hit show. I know what they got like, they rounded up a bunch of girls and made them model. Yeah, you're still right. And then, but I'm only one episode in, or I started the second episode because it was quite the cliffhanger at the end of the first. Yes. But they really only talked to like a fraction of the contestants.

Yeah, it's kind of, and is it more than one episode? It's three episodes. These documentaries, they usually have about an hour and a half. There's a lot of filler in this one. Yeah. Especially in the first 20 minutes of the first episode. I watched one that was about... Like, you're like, I know who Tyra Banks is.

We do not have to spend so much time. She's kind of, like, she's, her face is on our money. Yeah. It's mising up in us. Yeah. The one that I watched about Abercrombie and Fitch. Yeah. The first 25 minutes, the best.

The best. It was just everything. You're like, I remember all this stuff. I love this. And then it turned into like a body positivity documentary. It's like, no, no, go back to when it was like, eh. you know,

LMFAO or whatever seeing the Epi-Gromby image. What were they called? What were they called? Was it something with letters? It wasn't LMFAL. No, it was...

I don't know. Leadsinger was Rich Cronin, was his Dave, I think. He's passed. He's passed. That's right. Do I want to look it up? Yeah.

We want to find it ourselves with our brain. Although we do all have... Yeah, we're all concussed. That's true. Rich Cronin, bad. I meant banned. Mm. LFO.

LFO. Okay, yeah. Yeah, okay. Light funky one. Anyways, check out the first 20 minutes of that documentary. It's so funny. Oh, my God. Every documentary, yeah, could be shorter.

Yeah. One of the big Internet takeaways of this America's Next Top Model documentary is that Tara Banks is wearing just a trench coat for the entire thing. and that really bothered people. And big boobs coming out of the top of them. No offense. Are we not supposed to mention the boobs? We're not talking about no inspect your gadget, you know what I mean?

Go-go gadget. Gazon Guts. Wouldn't mind inspecting her gadget. You know what I mean? I don't. But I would assume that a documentary feature all these kind of fashion folks would have multiple outfits to be interviewed. Oh, sure.

Oh, that's a good point. Well, none of the people that are in, well, except for the Jays and what's his name, the British man? Oh, Nigel. Nigel are working in fashion. That's a big point is that nobody became a model after the show. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. I guess.

I think there's one plus size model that was successful and very few people, if any. I remember. It's kind of a scam. That kind of. When they did Canada's next top model. Who hosted it? Not going to remember. Brian Mulroney's son?

No, it was a model. Was it? Oh. No, or was it, what's her face from Battlestar Galactica? Oh, I don't know. Google it. I know, but I just want to say that the... Did they have the model with the snake tattoo, the dragon tattoo?

I forgot. The model with the dragon tattoo? Had a snake on her head? Yeah, she's really, she's from the 90s, really beautiful French Canadian woman. Oh, well, no, one of the, didn't, the Canadian woman with, like, Vidaligo. She's the, she's the only person. Oh, okay, who became a true top model. Yeah.

And we all remember her name. But the winner of Canada's next top model first season, I think within a month was like, well, I'm actually just going to become a dental hygienist. But she was Canada's next top Channel Hageness. It was a Canada's next top model was hosted by Procter and Gamble. Created by 10.

Give me a second. Yeah, no problems. Tricia Helfer. Oh. Oh. She was on Battlestar Galactic. Okay. She was a robot.

I think we've talked about on the podcast before, but Canada... Look for the hell first. During a tragedy. Sorry, I'm trying to get something out of this. Thank you. Oh, good. The Canada gets around a lot of, like, Canadian content rules by just making a Canadian version of... Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I think a lot of places do that. Yeah, it's what is the... What's the one we did really well? I don't know that we did. There are one that where it's like, we may be. We're on par with the American one. Oh.

He did rivalry. That was, yeah. Canada, wipeout, wipeout Canada? Could be. Well, a lot of them are things like wipeout where they just have like in Costa Rica, there's a giant obstacle course and they'll make, they'll send Americans down to do the American version. Yeah, okay. Is it traders? I've started to fade guys.

Oh, no. Started to fade. Faders. Yeah. Anyways. Keep, keep making Canadian. versions of Yeah.

So you're watching this documentary. Yeah, that's all. Oh. I finished it and it ends and it's quite sobering.

Well, that's good for me because I'm drunk. I'm watching it drunk. I don't like that. Like I watched the Beckham both of the documentaries docuseries,

docuseries on them. And they're just such fluff pieces but the Victoria Beckham one especially was like, you're just doing this to advertise your brand. Yeah. And I feel like

they needed Tyra Banks to not be involved in this project. Well, they do ask her the tough questions. And she doesn't answer them. Yeah, she deflects. Well, yeah, there was definitely one in the beginning where they were like, hey, why did you follow that drunk girl with the moped rider? Essentially, like, sexually assaulted on camera. What is? I don't know this.

Yeah, I wasn't aware of it. I think I did watch it, but also in that time. That was not considered the assault that it was. Yeah. Which is one of the big issues with the show. Her answer was, well, I was really in charge of that part. Yeah. But they did choose to air somebody getting assaulted, and that assault kind of ruined her life.

Yeah. Remember when Tyro went around in the fat suit? Yeah. There's a lot of, like, adjacent to that in this documentary, like, she dressing people up as homeless people, exploiting people's trauma. There was a lot of, like, at the beginning, they talk about how in 2020 during lockdown, a lot of people rediscovered America's Next Top Model and a lot of the things that went on in that show wouldn't fly anymore. Yeah, yeah. And, but they don't really go into that.

Yeah. It had me, I watch a lot of reality TV and it had me wondering what am I watching now that wouldn't be okay in five years. That's hard to call. What do you think? Yeah, what do you think? Yeah, I don't actually know. Also, like, this podcast from back in that era would not fly anymore. We were nasty.

Yeah, exactly. And you know what? We were talking about Tyro-Bangas's gazongas. Yeah. Herawugas. Inpecting her gadget. Erawugas. What other reality shows are you loving?

I don't love it. That's not true. I love Summer House. It's a Bravo show where a bunch of people from New York go to the Hamptons every weekend. Love it. If you're going to watch a Bravo show. There's a weekend house. Yeah, weekend house.

There's also winter house. Do they go and stay there? Or it's filmed over several? They go and stay there every weekend. They rent the house. It's a group share house. Okay. And it's great.

And you know what? I'm 99% sure that nobody on that show. Oh, there's like a lot of the Bravo shows, I think a lot of the stars are MAGA. And I don't see the humor in it. But I watch almost all of the Bravo shows currently because I have a lot of lot of time. And then I listened to podcasts about them. My favorite being Watch What Crapins. They're so funny. They make the show so much better.

A Vanderpump rules. Yeah, I know. That's a classic. That's my favorite. Yeah. As well, someone has some Vanderpump. Is that still making new ones of that? The new ones are real weird. Okay.

But I, I'm breaking up on board. Is that the man? Jacks. No. Scandalvall? Yes. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

And it's, I can't remember what, it's, it's not the one on the boat. Or is it? Oh, yeah. I like below deck too. Below deck. Yeah. I like the ones where people have jobs. Yeah.

The most. You like dogs with jobs? Yeah. I was going to say the same thing. He did dumb. Dums. That show ruled. And I like the housewife shows less.

What jobs did the dogs with jobs have? Bombs never. I had seeing eye dog. There's a gluten sniffing dog. Oh, yeah? He has to be so rich, I bet. Yeah. And he smells and just eats whatever it is.

Yeah. He's like everything has gluten. He's so fat. Don't worry. He's always farting. Okay. I got this. I got this for you.

I got this for you. Oh, man. Yeah, talks with jobs. Love it. Check it out. That's what's going on with me. How about you? Okay.

Just got to pick up some timbrecht on my way. Guys, let's have a Moulson. Fucking idiot. But he starts texting me, because he and I have been to a couple of rock shows together. Rock shows. Yeah. We went and saw Kiss. We went and saw a great Led Zeppelin cover band.

Led Zeppelin? Yeah. Yeah, what was their name? They unzip. Yeah, what are they called? They were just, oh, I can't remember they were called. But it wasn't that clever, so it didn't stick. Okay.

It was like almost Zeppelin or something like that. Yeah, nearly Zeps. Yeah. And so he. Bread Zeple. I knew what was coming. I knew what was coming. I just feel Dave being like,

ooh! Did you do specifically that was coming? I knew that you were thinking so hard of something. The energy in the room really shifted. One that would legitimately be really good. Led Shreklin. And it's all Shrek characters. All Shracks are all Shrek characters.

Yeah. Or it could be all Shrex. So you got a... Oops, all Shrekx. You got the cinnamon guy. Gingerbread guy. That's cinnamon. I think you would get, yeah.

Lord Farquod. Yeah. Maybe on drums. Yeah, donkey on bass. Yes. So in the past, we've gone to these rock and roll shows. So he starts texting me, kind of out of nowhere, he starts texting me. And at the time, I'm in transit. And it's just, my phone keeps going off to the point that I'm like, this is an emergency.

Somebody's sending me to his text. So then I look at it. And there's all these texts. And he's like, you'll never believe it. Answer your phone. Answer your phone. And then there's a picture of him and Gene Sussie. Simmons.

What? And I was like, and he's like, stay on your phone. Stay on your phone. And so Gary calls me and hands it over to Gene Simmons, who then talks to me. But it's kind of the connection was very good. So I couldn't really understand what he was saying. But it was him. It was definitely the way Gene Simmons talks.

And it was, yeah, Gary was telling him, we went and saw you your last tour, me and this comedian. He's like, oh, give him a call. Give him a call. I'll talk to him on the phone. That's cool. Yeah, it was cool. Nice guy. Nice guy.

Yeah, it was a nice guy. It was a fun. Famously nice guy. He, uh... He, uh... He, yeah, he was, it was just like bizarre. And then they just had to go about the rest of my day as if I didn't talk to Gene Simmons that day. That's incredible.

Yeah. Um, and did you tell him your idea about an All Shrek kiss? Oh, I know it now. At the time I hadn't thought of it. What would All Shrek Kiss be called? They would be called, uh, boy, I don't know. Christmas special. Well, I tried.

We don't know much about Shrek. Alicia just tapped her head again and pointed out of me. But yeah, it was funny. He told a joke. I couldn't hear it. But it didn't matter. I was just like, oh, my God, I'm out of the phone. And he's telling me a joke.

Yeah. Oh, because he knew you were a comedian. Yeah, exactly. For your act. Do you have a pen? But yeah, but yeah, it was great. And then he at one point, I think I wasn't laughing at the jokes. And I was like, I'm going to head you back to your friend.

But yeah, you know, cross that off the old bucket list. That's incredible. Did you tell them, I know it wasn't a FaceTime, but did you say, hey, took out your time? When you said, when God made me, he broke all the rules. Is that true? Gene Simmons family, Jules. When God made me, he broke all the rules. His wife or partner is Canadian.

She's Canadian. And he's from Detroit. And the kids, I think, were born in Los Angeles. And then they formed a jazz trio together or jazz duo and toured around. And he was giving you all this information on the phone. Yeah, he's like, and all. Yeah, Graham, can you update my Wikipedia? You look like you're good with computers.

Yeah, so I got to talk to the man. Did you ask him any questions like, hey, what was the... Who was the best person he had sex with? Oh, I wonder. Yeah, because he... Do you think he'd even remember? No, he's the one of those guys. He's like, Wilts Chamberlain.

He just had so much sense. Yeah, quantity over quality. It was never any good, but I had a lot of it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, Bonnie Blue. I don't get that. She was the porn star who had sex with, like, hundreds of guys.

one day. Yeah. I think someone else is doing that a bunch now, too. What? I'm like only fans. Anyways. You took off your headphones like you were. I have a secret to tell you.

What burning question? The hard thing is like, yeah. I don't have a burning question for him. And if I was on the spot, I wouldn't know what to ask. But I would be like, is it, is it true that you want to rock and roll all night and party every day? I would be like, Did you feel, if I was going to ask him like a criticizing question, I'd be like, do you feel like you missed out on being a part of the song back in the New York roof?

Because that song rules. And it was only Ace Free Leave it was on it. It was his solo album. They all did solo albums. Gene, I don't think, had any notable hits on his. I hope, I just hope he saved a little bit of money. He didn't touch us to Nitro money. Yeah, I don't know what I would ask him.

If, like, one time you got Butch Patrick from the Munsters to call me on my birthday, I've never seen one second of the Munsters. And so I'm just trying to get off the phone with this guy. But I want him to make sure he got his money worth out of talking to me. But, hey, that's great. Yeah, so your dad was, I want to say Frankenstein. Is that true? Your dad was Frankenstein? Who designed that crazy car?

Yeah. Do you ever watch the monsters? I know of them. Who did design that car? It was a famous guy. What's his name? That does ratfink. What's his name?

Hot Rod guy. Yeah, who did Dragula? Oh, Rob Zobby. No, it's the same guy who did like the old Batman and the... Oh. All the TV cars, the Beverly Hillbilly Mobile. He was the guy. He was the go-to guy.

He goes to car shows where's a satin jacket. Oh, hell yeah. Have you ever seen an interview or a picture of Rob Zombie not looking spooky? Like he's just wearing like a normal person's clothes and nothing, his hair's tied back and he just looks like a normal guy? No. It's weird. Does it exist? Yeah.

Is it like when you see a bear that has alopecia? Or has no hair at all. Okay. Yeah. All right. Oh, I knew this guy named, this bear named Fuzzy Wuzzy. Tell me more. Well, he was a bear.

Okay. But the thing about him is sort of Rob Zombie disease. Um, did you, were you telling me about Rob Zombie's, like, architectural digest, um, piece where they showed his house and it's not spooky at all? Yeah, it's not spooky at all. And he also, he, the reason that he and, uh, Munsters are stitched together, he made a Munster's movie. No. Yeah. That, uh, I think the, uh, the audience just wasn't there for it. Yeah, I know, but your kids are going to love it. Yeah, it's like, they were always kind of a pale echo of the Adam's family. Yeah.

And, you know what? We wish the original cast the best. Butch Batchers, he's probably the only one that's still alive. Yeah, the dad from, who is the judge from my cousin Vinny? To youths. And from Pet Cemetery. Don't go down to the Pet Cemetery. Pretty good.

Yeah, there's always got to be a guy warns you, you know? Uh-huh. Old guy, whittling or something like that. What, so how, what, so they cross that off your bucket. Yeah. What is the next thing, next rock star you'd love to talk to? Oh, that's a really good question. Do I go for somebody I think is going to be absolutely kooky or somebody that I have a

mysterious and spooky? Altogether, Uki. Yeah, there's this one band. They're kind of a family band. Well, there's a rapper who did a song for them. Yeah, that's right. Geez, it would probably be a front man, and it'd be. Maybe Paul Stanley.

Yeah, Paul Stanley. I want to get, well, they're the only two that are still alive, I think. Is Peter Chris alive? I don't think so. But, you know, if I get one phone call to the afterlife, that's who I'm calling. You're like, why did you get so bad at drums? Was it you're drinking too much? Yes, that's well documented.

Oh, shit. I have another question. Oh, no. That was your one wish. Oh, no. I was also concussed. Sorry. Was it you're drinking?

What would you guys pick if you had to pick? Oh, if I could talk to any rock star, living or dead? Yeah. No, no. They have to be, yeah, living or dead. Yeah. No, living. They have to be living.

That's somehow harder. Yeah. Oh, dead one would be easy. Yeah. Jimmy Hendrix? Did you ever kiss that guy? Is it true that you said roll over to a dog and that's why we put it in a song? you know that one

Move Over a rover Oh Yeah Apparently that's based on a real thing I don't believe Was there a dog in the studio? He was a dog They were

They played a gig And they had to walk them They got all wet And so they lit a fire And the dog was lying in front of it And he said Move over over And he said

He was like That would be a great lyric Yeah Yeah for me would probably be boy George Yeah Oh Yeah Did you ever find out

That person Really wanted to hurt you Do you really know all about the crying game? You? I really can't decide. There is to know about the crying game. Maybe like Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys. Sure.

That's good. And you just, did you ever find out what you did to deserve this? Yeah, exactly. Good answers all. Good answer. Good answer. Good answer. We asked to be about what they, what former rock star they would want to talk to.

Top six answers on the board. Number one. Perry Como. Mary Como, not a rock star, but still number one. Number one. And wouldn't that be the best being asked that series of questions like Family Feud calling you up? To be a Family Feud survey taker? Yeah.

Dream job. Absolutely. You know, what is the top? soda Yeah What's something that You wouldn't want to do in public Yeah yeah yeah

What would you do in the kitchen And then one of them might be like Nasty on the counter Yeah nasty on the counter What's the reason you need to clean the counter In the kitchen Because I was doing nasty stuff Do you guys want to move on to some overheard?

And if you want to do so, you can send it into SPY at maximum fun.org. We always like to start the guess. Okay. They see you've gotten overheard? Yeah, it's from my visit to the ER. I'm just going to give it a little bit of background. and a little bit of a warning. I thought this was really funny.

I hope you guys do. It could sound not funny, but I was stuck in the ER waiting room. And I had chosen a seat beside a guy who was sitting by himself, as opposed to sitting in a part of the waiting room. There's a bunch of people kind of detoxing, sleeping it off. I was like, oh, this is a nice quiet corner. And then moments later, this guy sat down and he was a total blowhard. And like, really telling tall tales. And it was so early in the morning.

and he was doing video calls with his kids. He was really gregarious. He was waiting for surgery. The man beside me was waiting for surgery. His hand. His finger was broken and his bone was sticking through. Oh, no. That guy was great.

But the other guy was one, I was like protected from the other guy because the person in between us was like just a very personable and good at keep, you know, being. Yeah. Talking. Yeah. And, uh. I was still recovering from the broken finger. I was just a picture again. I know.

And he was there for surgery. And then part of his tall tales was like how rich he was and how, you know, how interesting his life had been, how much traveling he'd done. And he had injured himself. And instead of waiting for surgery in Canada, he did a little medical tourism. And he had his leg repaired somewhere in another country for very little money. And then when he got back, the titanium plate and screws came out. Oh, God. It's been like a diaper.

I was like, maybe wait it out, like wait the couple of weeks and get your surgery here. And he's like, yeah, when I was, these two men were talking about, they recently had, like, children. They had young children. And the guy beside me had like an infant. He is with his partner. And this guy had a child that was under 10. And he's like, yeah, look, when I was young and I was traveling, I had to like pay for like 18 abortions. And you know what?

then when I was ready to have a kid in my mid-40s, it was hard for me to have a kid. Isn't that ironic? I could have had so many by now. Dude, you're traveling. Just leave. You don't have to pay for it. I was like 18 abortions.

Wow, 18. Yeah, so he's also a man who refuses to wear condos. Amongst all of the shitty things that came out about him. I was like, oh. I just used the pull-out method. Are you any good at it? No. I still use it, though.

Yeah, it's when you have to focus on, like, one person in the waiting room. Yeah. Because even if there's nobody talking, there's somebody that's like an injury that you can't stop looking at, bone from hand, exactly. It was bandaged up. I just knew it was under there. Just seems like that should be the first guy in. He had been in. He was back for surgery.

Oh, I see. Yeah, I was called the treatment area where I was into people going in for treatment. Yeah. And I, when Margo broke her arm a couple weeks ago, it, like, you really do see what is life and death. Like, or what's more serious because, like, kid in front of us in line had maybe a concussion as well and was like, could not, I was having trouble staying awake. Went right in. Yeah. But, like, you know, your broken arm, it's fine.

Yeah. Yeah. You'll live through the night. Yeah, like, who's the old rule of thumb? was the louder the person is, the less their injury is probably the quiet people are the ones that you have to keep an eye on because they're either, like you say, falling asleep or like lost blood or that kind of thing. But yeah, I hope this guy's all right. If you're out there, if you're listening, Mr. 18 abortions, aborto will tell you. Mr. Oboto.

Tomo Arigato, Mr. Aborto. Roberto Abordo. From a can fruit punch. Oh, McCain Fruit Punch is gone. I know. Did you hear? Yeah, juice from concentrate. They're not doing it.

They're not doing it. I have a can left in my freezer. Do you? Yeah. It's like it tastes cherry blossom. No, here's the controversy. You're talking about my virginity. I would never.

Would you, when you made juice from concentrate, would you put it in freezing cold, mash it up and then add water, or would you let it thaw and then add water? Well, first I take. a scoop of the concentrated juice and just eat it like that because it's delicious. Yeah. I would want it right away. Yeah. You'd mush it up.

Yeah. Yeah, I would. It would never be cold enough. I would never have the foresight. As a child, when I'm, like, making my own juice, this is my. Yeah. I wouldn't even like jello set as a child. Yeah.

Oh, this is juice, too. I just remember three parts water, one part juice, except with lemonade, it was four parts water. Oh, because it's. It's... Were you a pink lemonade family or a regular? As a family, we didn't have a specific side. But yeah, we did both.

Yeah, we did both, too. Pink's fun, though. Yeah, I also love Limeade. Wow. I'm going to miss that. Limeade? Yeah. You can make it.

No? With lime. Sure, but not from concentrate. Oh, not for concentrate. And you just have to buy a big bottle of Limeade. Yeah. Or, you know, the dust of dust packages. What are you?

call them, like what you get J-LU in? You have to have a dust package. A dust package, yeah. A dust package, okay. In, what's it called? Superstore. I just remember Dave's ramen condom joke. They had, they have signs that say what, you know, what every aisle has.

And one of the things in one of the aisles is envelope gravy. Perfect. I wouldn't be able to describe it any better than it. Dust package. Dave, do you have an overheard? Yeah, I, this is, we're recording this a few days after Valentine's Day. I should have said it in the last episode. That was also, I had this, I just didn't say it.

Yes. And I went on Valentine's Day, bought some flowers for my sweetheart. Nice. Anybody we know? Don't tell Abby. But we, so I'm in the flower shop. and someone comes up to the front and says, do you have any dried flowers?

Oh. And the person said, no, we have some that will dry. Yeah, how much time do you have on this clock? I've been worked in a flower shop for many Valentine's Day. I just can't imagine how great that felt to say. Yeah. When you're drying flowers, do you have to hang them upside down? Yeah, I believe so.

Yeah. It's very psychopathic behavior. Yeah. And it's also, I feel like dried flowers really had like a real renaissance in the late 90s. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Everybody had them. You hang them upside down.

You listen to opera. Yes. You, you know, do some skin care and you talk about how the person in the mirror is not a reflection of you. Is this all from a specific thing? It's all just kind of a mismatch of movie psychotics. Yeah. I've never understood the appeal, but... Well, they last a lot longer.

That's true. And they brittle, so they get turned into dustbages. I also don't think that they're very nice to look at, but I love pressed flowers, like in a little frame or something. Oh. But does that stay looking like a... It looks fresh. Fresh. Yeah.

Oh. I think that I think of, what? Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Graham stopped wiggling your chair. I'm sorry. You weren't. Yeah, I think what you want is a fake flower.

They look young forever. They do. I just feel like they get moldy and dusty. Right. And having lived through the 90s, there's things that you don't want to see come back. And I think dried flowers, that's maybe one of them. I like dried lavender. Yeah.

Eucalyptus is nice. It's roses that I think they give me the ick. Yeah. Yeah, as the kids would say last year, no longer saying for sure. What do they say now? Kids don't say something gives you the ick. It's people in their 20s who are dating. Those are kids.

We're trying not to commit to a relationship. I found out an ick. New ick unlocked. Exactly. In my situation ship. Anyways, these are great new terms. This mif gives me the it. That's me.

I didn't know yet. Yeah, congratulations. None that ever came all the way out. Got stuck halfway and you just left. They weren't kids yet. They turned around. And there was 18 of them. My overheard is I went to North Vancouver, so I was on the sea bus, which is just rich in overheard.

How often do you take the sea bus? Once a year, maybe. This year, it's been twice as I went to tape the debaters in North Van. And this time Jane Stanton past guest was running a show in Northman. Right. And I had a gluten-free beer there. And you know what the secret is? Yeah, I had gluten in.

Oh, this is really good. I was like, this is really good. Yeah. I was like, I feel weird. I bet. Yeah, yeah. So there's three young gals having a night out on the town. And which town?

I guess I saw them going to North Van. So they were going to Northland. Party? Yeah, I guess. It's, I don't really know what North, I know it's like kind of a richer area. And there's a lot of like little restaurants and bars, I think. Yeah. It's also like if you want to go hike.

Yeah. A hiking party. It's like where you move from Vancouver to be close to Vancouver, but it's still quieter. And Vancouver looks really nice from the North Van. Oh, yeah. At night, it's very pretty. And if you want to not know if it'll take you five minutes or an hour to get to Vancouver, it's a great place to live.

Do you like sitting in traffic right before a bridge or on a bridge or getting off of a bridge? Well, that's what the sea bus is for. Yeah. That's so true. I, so they were talking and one of them was talking about somebody I think she had a crush on. And she is singing his praises. And then she said, and he's in a band. Guess what the name is?

And they didn't offer a guess. She said, Zoom. Look him up. I'm not going to look up Zoom. And we're not doxing this guy. Zoom rocks. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's awesome.

Very sweet. Hey, my buddy's a comedian. Do you want to call him up? Hey, Graham, I met the lead singer of Zoom. What did you hear, buddy? From your crush. From your crush. I have many crushes.

I'm like Gene Simmons. I've had so many sex partners. Anyways, I hope it works out for those crazy kids. And download Zoom. There was a meme last week. going around to my inbox. I don't know where else it was, but it said, Crush is just an absence of information.

Oh, that's true. Oh, my gosh. That's very, very astute. Yeah. Crushes are fun. Yeah, I haven't had one. Oh, I have some random ones, actually, that are kind of always in play,

but then I forget and then I see them. And I've got a new neighborhood crush. Tall guy, big beard. Oh, yeah. Big gray silver beard. Oh, I know who you're talking about. Handsome. Where'd he come from?

I don't, I think maybe he's visiting us. from Milan. Yeah. He doesn't look like a logo. Out of nowhere, like a well-dressed tall man in his late 40s, early 50s. Gross. Yeah. There was a guy who used to come in when I worked at the video store.

They were so handsome, had a big beard, and he always smelled like pipe tobacco. Oh, that's so nice. Yeah, but not to kiss probably. No, he doesn't smoke. He just smells like a tobacco. He just rubs it on his hands. He just naturally smells that way. Tobacco is a big, like, cologne.

Yeah. My dad, when I was a kid, I had a cologne called tobacco. Really? Yeah, D-A-B-A-C, Tobac. It's short for Tabernac. Tabernacle. If you're outside of Canada, you might not know that one, but it's good. Kids are going to love it.

Now, I have some overheard sent into us by people all over if you want to send one in. Send in it to S-B-Y at MaximumFund.org. We warned you. This one comes from Joshua M. I was at a solstice party. Okay, so this was a while ago. Winter, I hope. There was a group of kids between the ages of 5 and 12 hanging out together.

I heard one of the older girls yell, she keeps farting. And one of the other girls stage whispered, It's my greatest weapon. I mean, yeah, right? If you can do it at will. I could, but I won't. You think you could do it at will?

Will? I'm holding it in that well. So I could just, I just have to choose to release. Yeah, there we go. Booh. Rabbit fire. I, in the Soviet Union, you were only allowed to have solstice parties instead of Chris. And is it true that in Russia that Solstice has you?

Yeah, that's true. Solstice has a you party. Oh, he was in town. I was doing a show the night that he was, Yakov. He was, Yakov. No way. I don't... I haven't heard that name in so long.

Yeah, I don't know what his... I mean, in a way, his act would be more politically charged than ever. But, yeah, I don't know. I just, I have no idea. What would you have to... He's been in America so long. Maybe he just does regular stand-up. I don't know.

Maybe he's lost the accent. Maybe. Was it ever a real accent? That's... Ooh. Close Myers over here. This one comes from CJ in Stockton, California. I have an overheard of the kids say the darnest.

My six-year-old daughter was helping me dig in the backyard and talking about finding treasure. Trevor. Trevor. Oh, we found Trevor. We dug deep enough. Let's hang him upside down. Let's dry out, Trevor.

Finding treasure. After a different type of discovery in the dirt, she said to herself, well, at least I found a worm. That's a treasure right there. Yeah. Right? Worms are so cool. Yeah, I do the, every year when I'm in the garden, I call out the kids.

Hey, there's some worms. You want to check out some worms. Yeah. And do they come outside? They do, but I feel like those days are numbered. Right. Yeah. Now they want like a snake.

Worms are too small. Where was I? Oh, in Winnipeg, they have some day like that happens. I don't know if it happens the same day every year, but it's a day where a bunch of snake, all come out from under the It was a whacking day? It was exactly like Wacking Day Except it's like they're

They all mate And so they're all like in a ball together Oh I saw a really big spider yesterday Oh shit that is big Finger for reference Wow Was he a hairy guy? Is that like a wolf spider guy?

Yeah probably Yeah he was going Oh It was a full moon It had a great haircut Um I'd like to be He's Taylor.

Last one is from Jackie in Chicago. I just made it out of airport security when I overheard this exchange. Passenger 1. Did they give you a cavity search? Passenger 2. Oh, if only. Oh, yeah. If I was a dentist, I would make that joke.

I think it's time for a cavity search. I would see rubber glove. That's very good. Call the whole dentist office cavity search. Yeah. Yeah. And just like, yeah, have the sign being a guy put on the river glove. There's not enough cool theme dentist around, you know?

Do you think it's because it would not make people feel at ease? Cavity search? Yeah. Well, there's tooth booth. And there's also Dr. No. Dr. Teeth of the electric mayhem. Yeah, that guy, he's awesome.

What's the one that's on Broadway? The one with the House of Teeth. House of Teeth. Yeah. Yeah. That's where I go. Do you? Yeah.

What's the like? like rock and roll in there? It's great. I did have a funny thing happen though with the last time I had to reschedule. Oh, I thought you were joking. No, I really like it there. It's very calm. It's very, very calm.

And it's very, I mean, of course, it's very clean, but it's, they're great. And, but the last time I got a text message from the receptionist to say, like, hey, don't, don't forget your cleanings on this day. And then I wrote back, I'm like, oh, actually, could I reschedule? She's like, if you'd like to reschedule, you have to go to our website. I'm like, but we're already talking. Yeah. And I never went back. Are you sure it wasn't an automated thing?

No, it wasn't. And that's like one step too far from me. I'm like, this feels like bad service. I mean, I would much rather go to a website than talk to a person. You're going to give them a date and they're going to say, well, we don't actually have them and they've got to give you. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, scheduling. Oh, boy.

Dave, do you have any overheard? Oh, you did three? Yeah, did. Oh, okay. I was like, do I have to do one? I thought I already did one. In addition to overs that are written, and we also accept your phone calls. If you want to call us, our phone number is 1.

844-779-763-1, that's one. Ugh, SpyPod 1, like these people have. But before I tell you about that, I also want to tell you that you can also send them by voice memo. Yes. So, record it on your phone and email it to SPY at maximum fun.org like these people have. Hey, Dave Graham and Possible guest. This is Maggie Calling from Kingston, Ontario. with an overheard from last spring.

I was sitting on a bench in a park next to a house where a man was raking leaves off of his driveway. And he paused for a moment and looked down and he said, Hey, how's your mother? Oh, she's fine, thank you. Then he continued raking. Well, off I go. So is he practicing for an upcoming phone call? Yeah, maybe he's a or maybe he raked up like a mouse.

Oh. Yeah. I mean, that's the other job, you know, but it's all worth it. It's all worth it to rake. Raking is what we got to,

guys, we need to buckle down and rake. Yeah, this city has a real raking problem. What is going on? Yeah. Like, man.

Oh, they'll leaf blow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, my neighbor across the way. Loves the leaf blower. I actually broke a rake this year.

You did? Mm-hmm. Doing what? Pressing too hard. I think you've just rotted away after 10 years. Yeah. We had the same rake when I was growing up for at least 15 years. Beautiful story.

And it was metal, not a plastic one. It was like an old jagged metal one. But eventually they all snapped off. Anyways, if you guys are out there, consider buying a plastic one. They're going to last longer than a metal one. Yeah. And then you only, I think it's just important that we get more plastic out there. Get more plastic.

Yes, absolutely. Yes. Yeah. And because it, you know what? Put it in a little bits and brains and testicles. It's a title for this podcast. It's Buy More Plastic. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Plastic. Yeah. Plastic is the future. Pro-plastic. Pro-Palestine. Wow. Wow.

We have a... I'm Pro Pellasin. Yeah. Yeah. I would say I'm as well. Sure. Oh, my God. We were really on the spot today.

Yeah. We can delete all of that. I think we said. We're from Palestine. Here's your next phone call. Hey, Dave Grimm and possible guest. This is Liam from England calling in with an overheard. I was in a Morrisons, which is a supermarket in this country, and I was in the honey aisle.

And there was a guy next to me, perusing the honey, when a young boy, maybe five or six years old holding a toy, a Spider-Man toy, ran up to the man and punched him squarely in the penis. the man doubled over in pain and everyone else in the aisle tried not to look because obviously it was very funny after he composed himself he stood up and looked at a woman at the end of the aisle where the kid had ran off to

and he shouted at the woman right tell him to put that toy back he's being told not to do that and yet he keeps doing it no friggin way anyway was the dad yeah

it wasn't just a random attack That was really good. Yeah. When I was picturing it, I pictured that he was his Spider-Man. I didn't think it was yet to be purchased. Oh, yeah. Yeah. When I was picturing it, it was a stranger that he was clocking. Yeah, I pictured that as well.

Yeah. I know. It's weird that it isn't and then it happens. Non-stop. And he was this close to being able to get a Spider-Man toy, but it was too tempting. Yeah, he blew it. I don't piss my pants. You can do that on the show.

That's fine. And here's your final phone call. Hey, Dave. Hey, Graham. Hey, probable guest. This is David in Chicago calling in with an over-red. So let me preface this by saying local news is very important. America needs more good.

local news. I'm a subscriber to a local paper, specifically to help support local news. Nonetheless, I do find it very local newsy that the top headline today in the email newsletter they send me every day is, what's that weird smell? There's an app you can download that's called smell van. Right. And if you smell something weird, you log it where you are and what it smells like. Yeah. Did you dealt it?

But yeah, if you smell like chemical smell or, you know, that kind of thing. And then it makes a map of where you can see all, let's see, smell all these smells. Yeah, okay. Let's do a smell tour. Who is in charge of following up on the smells? Is it linked to anything municipal? Maybe. Or is it just a curious.

Other people go there to smell it too. That's really great. Let's see what's smelling around town this week. It's got to be. There's some awful chicken shit smell in the industrial area up in the East, the East Van Quadrant. I got off the bus the other day and it smelled like a gas leak, but I just kept going.

Well, if you had this app, do you record to that? That's true. Oh, my God. I have to confirm that I've read all the... the above. Um, okay. Well, I don't have anything to report. Can I just, I don't want to submit.

Yeah, you want to just see. See the map. Yeah. Oh, it does he be. Wow. That's fine. Oh, okay. Okay, here's what's going on.

Uh, closest to us right now, I would say is, um, what smell are we dealing with? There's a moderate chemical. How offensive for vary. Okay. Sleep, uh, symptoms, sleep disturbance. Sleep disturbance. actions, closed windows and doors.

And within a couple blocks of that, a smoky smell. Hmm. Like a peaty kind of. Sort of a pet, sort of a, I'm getting notes of tobacco. I'm getting sort of a, like a, sort of a, sort of pety. Well, that brings us to the end of this episode. Alicia, it was so fun to have you.

It was great. Thank you. I'm glad that your concussion is on the mend. You'll keep it forever. I just want to point out that in North Vancouver, someone should not have reported this. It's just how offensive, one. How strong, low.

Description? No. Symptoms, no. Actions, no. It was probably somebody in a car and there you show. See, I put it on the map. You smell. Way to burn your friend. Do you have anything that you would like to mention

that you have coming up or where can people find you online? You can find me on Blue Sky at Alicia Tobin. Same with on threads. And I have a Patreon that I'm starting.
