Hi, he's Dave Shumka.
And he's Graham Clark.
And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself.
Woo!
Buddy and welcome to episode number 940 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name's Graham Clark.
With me as always, is a man, if I'm not missing my guess, you gave yourself a nice haircut
last week, but it's grown in so nicely this week, Mr. Dave Shumka.
It's not grown in nicely.
I gave it a month ago, three weeks ago maybe, and it's the ears, over the ears it's
coming in.
I was considering doing it this past weekend.
but now my problem is now that I give myself a haircut,
I'm worried that if I keep it short,
I won't be able to tell what spots I've missed.
I have to let it grow in so I can cut it back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, uh, I just don't know how you do it.
I just don't know how somebody cuts their own hair.
Come watch me.
Okay.
Yeah, have me over the next time of your hair.
Sure, I sit in the shower in my underwear.
Perfect.
Um, and, uh,
I'll bring a magazine.
Well, no, you're watching me.
That's true.
I'm watching it.
I'll watch the demonstration.
I'll bring the donut.
You're not like in a magazine as if you're like, I'm next.
It's not a waiting room.
No, I'm getting my hair done next.
Okay, you give me, bring a magazine and show me a picture.
Hey, Dave, do this.
Do this to your haircut.
Who would I want is a haircut?
Boy, oh boy.
Jamie Lee Curtis, I guess.
She keeps a nice tight hair.
Yeah, she does.
She's had that classic.
Yeah.
What do you even call that?
a pixie cut?
Kind of, yeah.
I watched True Lies last night.
Oh, yeah?
Still really funny.
Still, like, doesn't hold up culturally, but...
What's wrong with the culture of it?
Every bad guy in it is a brown guy, and all the white guys are the good guys.
But aside from that, it's pretty good.
And Jamie Lee Curtis steals the show.
Yeah, she does a naked dance.
She does a sexy dance.
At one point, she drops a machine gun down the stairs, and it kills a bunch of
of people.
Oh, yeah. I watched it for the first time, like, I'd never seen it before.
I think I watched it this summer.
And, uh...
Did you like it?
I think so.
I don't think it's his best.
It's incredibly silly.
It's like James Cameron doing a silly.
Yeah.
And then, um, I don't, and she's like, he's a secret agent.
Yes.
And she has no idea.
And then she gets like pranked into doing a thing.
And then it turns out to be real.
He, just a synopsis.
If anybody listening has not seen true lies.
And just,
guest today.
Very funny comedian.
I just want her to jump in on true lies talk is the only thing.
Do you, have you seen true lies?
I haven't seen it.
No, no.
You can wait.
You can wait.
He's a secret agent.
And then he finds out that she maybe has gone off and had an affair because he's like
out of town all the all the time.
All the live long day.
So then he uses the FBI or whatever's resources to like follow her.
The CIA.
The CIA.
No, it's a.
It's called the Omega Team or something like that.
So he uses all these resources to follow her around.
And then he makes up a mission because she's like,
all she wants is some excitement.
So he makes up a mission.
And then in the middle of that mission,
real things happen.
And then, yeah, he gives her gun and she fires it like how I assume I would fire a gun,
just flying all over the place.
Yeah.
And at the end, the bad guy gets attached to a rocket and gets blown through a building.
Oh.
Our guest today is our guest.
Today, very funny comedian.
She has a new special out on YouTube called Crying in Public.
It's Gina Harms.
Hello, Gina.
Hi.
How are you?
Hi, Gina.
I'm good.
How are you?
Have you ever shot a gun?
Yes.
Really?
I have.
Like at a gun range or?
At somebody in war.
It was like the kind of.
Yeah.
It was weird.
No, it should have been at a gun range.
It was.
I used to date this guy who used to just drive up to the mountains and shoot guns.
That's okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it was just like at a tree.
At a tree?
Yeah.
Or like an old TV.
They dragged up something.
All the blinds is.
We'll blow those up.
Yeah.
I met him through a friend.
No, sure.
You know, I grew up in Kamloops.
That's the type of people you meet.
Yeah.
Not far from, you know, the forest where the TVs are growing.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Everybody just drops their TV as off in the forest.
I have a, so, something happened to one of my TVs.
Our TV in the living room, we now have one little white spot.
Oh, no.
It's not like a dead pixel.
It seems to be on the coding of the TV.
A child of mine, I believe, did something.
Oh, no.
And I, you know, I said no one will be in trouble.
Yeah, just tell us what you did.
Does anyone know?
what's going on because I'm perplexed. I don't know how to fix it. If I don't know what's wrong
that no one's admitted anything. That was a month ago. Still there? Still there? Oh, yes. It hasn't
gotten worse, though. Well, here's the thing. Oh, shit. Kind of wish it would get worse. So I could
buy a new TV. But it's just a little. Is it constantly or eyes constantly drawn to it?
Yeah, but, so I just don't want to watch a movie on that TV. Okay. Yeah. But like, I'll watch the news
or the Kardashians.
Sure.
That's classic phone TV.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Should we get to know us?
Get to know us.
Gina.
When you were last here, we talked about that you moved all the way to Australia for a boy.
Yes.
And now we found out that you went out in the forest and shot a gun for a boy.
Any other highlights?
What else have you done for a boy?
Wow.
I never think that I'm that type of person that changes my personality.
You went, you moved to Australia and you started talking.
I started talking like this.
That's good.
That's good.
Mate.
Did they really call each other mate?
I had a boss.
I worked at a cafe and he always called people mate.
He always said good A as well.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's classic.
Oh, you combine good A and mate?
Oh, my God.
You live in large.
It's like movies.
Yeah, it's perfect.
Absolutely perfect.
What, yeah, do we have a thing, like, we don't say, well, people do say A.
We say A and people, and we say sorry.
Yeah.
We do say sorry, and we do, but do we have, we don't call people, hey, bud.
I guess you do.
Yeah, I guess you go, a bud.
Not to the extent of mate.
No, that's true.
And like, yeah, what is the, what would be the British, chap?
Jappy.
Blok.
Yeah, what do we do?
What's the move, mad lads?
It's brough.
Oh, yeah, bro, there you go.
Boy, brough.
So tell us about your one-person show that you put on YouTube.
Like, I haven't put a special on YouTube.
I don't know how it works.
I don't know how any of this.
You have a special, right?
No.
That's crazy.
You have two albums.
I have two albums.
Oh, yeah, because now it's more.
Like, if you're going to do an album, you might as well do a special.
That's what people do.
Because, like, YouTube is just like you can just upload it yourself.
Did you do something at the Waldorf?
I may think of someone else?
Yeah.
Like a million years ago.
Yeah.
Like, 20, maybe 10, 2012.
And that was something that people bought.
It was, yeah.
And it was the weird thing.
So Louis CK had released a special using, like, a particular piece of software that you
could buy it directly.
Like, this was way back before, you know, you could just easily buy things online for specials.
Uh-huh.
So he had this mechanism so he could sell him.
And a guy-
He's never steered me wrong.
No.
Exactly.
Straight and true.
He, uh, so a guy, no, worked for somebody who had that technology and he just copied it.
CKVision.
That's right.
I hate my kids.
dot com.
But he
was able to
release the specials
the same way.
So you'd pay five bucks
and you'd get the special.
And mine did pretty well.
But I don't know
where it is.
It's somewhere.
Somewhere out there.
I don't know if I could find it.
Okay.
Well, it'll be on YouTube.
Coming up.
Okay.
So it tells us
about yours.
Right.
Okay.
It's like.
Because I'll interrupt again.
I did.
You got to stay.
You got to keep me focus.
It's a,
I'm, like, hesitant to call it a stand-up special because it is, like, a one-hour narrative.
It's like a Mike Barbiglia-style, one-person show, you know.
Use a mic?
No.
No mic.
No mic.
Oh, okay.
Is it silent?
Yeah.
I'm a mime.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot to say off the top.
Sheet is a mind.
I shouldn't be talking right now.
That's true, yeah.
But your alter you go, what's your alter you go?
Your mime?
Your mind name?
Madame.
Madame.
Madame.
Mim.
Mim.
That's a Disney character.
But the miming is so good that you're like, oh my God, I feel like I can hear her voice.
Yeah, yeah.
There's like a real character being built here.
Right.
So I filmed this thing and I had like a lav mic on me.
So, you know, you can hear me in the special.
And it's about how I made the decision to move to Australia for a man when I was 20.
This was in the year 2012.
And then...
You do the map.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's, you know, it's just like a real comedy of errors about mistakes I made.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you've toured this around.
You've done this French show.
I've only done it at Vancouver Fringe.
Oh, you've got to go to Saturday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The annoying thing about fringe is like it's a lottery.
So, like, you try and get in, but then they're like, no.
Yeah.
And sometimes you'll put in and they'll put you on the wait list.
And that really is dangling in front of you for the next couple of months if you're like six.
Yeah.
I can get it on six.
Oh, I hope some dork drops out.
Then you'll have like a month's notice.
Some dorks drop.
You got to admit the French Festival does have its fair share of dorks.
Yeah, I am.
Did you handbill?
Yeah, a little bit.
I'm so bad at it, though.
Everybody's bad at it.
It's terrible.
Yeah.
But you do have the advantage.
of living here.
So you don't have to like...
Yeah, I didn't try too hard.
I tried to just like,
but pest are my friends.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Be like,
Hey.
Yeah, I remember I was once doing a...
I played music in someone else's friend show.
And then I was going to other shows.
And then I saw a guy who was like,
he was in,
uh,
boy,
I don't want to even say.
He was in a Canadian sketch group.
Okay.
He was doing his one-man show.
And, uh,
he handed me a flyer and was like,
whoa,
I'm such a big fan.
of your sketch group.
I'm not going to go to this, though.
I'm not going to be in town, but like, great.
Yeah, yeah, he was not.
Yeah, he didn't like me.
And I told this story of the podcast before.
I was handing out flyers, and another guy was handing out flyers in the same kind of area,
and he asked me what my show was, and then I was like, well, what's your show?
And he's described it.
And I was like, oh, yeah, maybe I'll be able to check it out.
And he's like, it starts in 10 minutes.
And I was like, oh, shit.
He's like, I could get you.
Come with me.
I'm going to go set up.
I really should be flyering.
Yeah.
Oh, some people are real aggressive.
Yeah.
Anyways, I watched this show.
It was a musical that he had written.
And it was him and some puppets.
And I was in the front row.
Couldn't get away.
Couldn't not make eye contact with him throughout the show.
Oh, it was so bad.
Okay, okay.
Let's go easy on this guy.
That's dork.
Yeah, no, handing out flowers is deadening.
Yeah, and my venue this year, I did it at Little Mountain Gallery, which was great, but it was not on Granville Island.
And so I was trying to, like, flyer the people on Granville Island, but I should have just stayed in Gastown because they'd be like, oh, yeah, where's your show?
And I'd be like, it's a little mountain gallery.
They'd be like, oh, you will try.
We live on Granville Island.
Yeah.
Have we ever described what Granville Island is to people that maybe have never visited the city?
I rarely went until, I think I've gone more in the last year than I ever did before, but it's...
It's not an island.
It's not an island.
It's like a...
Well, you describe it.
I think it used to be its original iteration was it was like an industrial park or something like that.
And then in like the late 70s, they said, let's me.
make this a
kind of like a tourist attraction.
It is a tourist trap.
Yeah.
But it's nice.
It is nice.
They have like,
they have a nice market there.
Yeah.
You worked there.
I worked there for three years in a coffee shop in the market.
That's right.
JJ Bean?
No,
the other one.
It's called Petit Ami.
Okay.
Petit Ami.
And they were, it's like a big market that's got like, you know, fresh whatever.
Yeah.
And a bunch of merchants selling their wares.
And then like a really cool food court that's like better than.
at a mall food court, like all these.
Yeah, they've got like homemade pie.
And on a nice day, it's indoor, outdoor.
Oh, and the seals are so aggressive.
They steal your fries.
Oh, yeah.
And then there's like buskers.
Oh, yeah, no, they'll eat anything.
And there used to be the art college was there.
Yeah.
And now there's art's umbrella.
Yeah.
Which is a kids.
And there's also a kids market.
There is a kid's market.
Yeah, with like just a bunch of like toy stores.
and the, like, the magic shop,
but also an arcade and this weird, like, climbing thing.
There's a water park, too.
Yeah, that's true.
Oh, yeah.
And then there's...
But not like water slides, like spray park.
Yeah.
And then there's a store that just sells a homemade brooms.
That's true.
Yes, artisan brooms.
Yeah.
Did you ever buy one?
No, but my aunt, every time she visits.
She visits probably once a year.
We have to go to Granville Island and we have to go to the broom store.
Because she heard that for someone's housewarming, if you buy them a broom, it's good luck.
Oh, okay.
But that's an expensive.
You can just buy one from Walmart.
What are they, what do they go for?
Yeah.
She'll buy like a small one that you put on the wall and then the person has to hang a broom on their wall.
Is there a thing where people have to jump over?
a broom? Is that some kind of...
Jumping the broom.
Yeah.
Is that a wedding?
That's the title of a movie, but I don't know what it means.
It's the title of a movie?
Yeah.
Jumping the broom.
Jumping the broom is a phrase and custom relating to a wedding ceremony in which the couple
jumps over a broom.
It is most widespread among African Americans and black Canadians.
Huh.
Yeah.
Have you guys ever been to a wedding?
Popularized during the 1970s by the knowledge.
and miniseries roots.
Oh.
Have you guys ever been to a wedding
where there's a tradition that you're like,
wow, I've never heard of that ever before.
Oh, once I went to a wedding
and they like, they had soil
and then they like both had to shovel
their own soil into like a tree that was planted.
So it was like they're both bringing soil from,
I don't know, from their marriage.
From their separate homes.
And they put it in the tree planner.
Yeah.
It was my cousin and they're now divorced.
Oh, yeah.
They did the dirt sandwich.
Was the tree still alive?
Is the tree still alive?
That's a great question.
I should ask.
That would be my first order to visit.
Cut down that fucking tree.
I did a podcast with past guest Maddie Kelly.
Let's make a rom-com.
And she picked a rom-com location to record an episode at.
And she picked Granville Island.
as like, because it's, you know, a romantic place to go on a date.
Sure. But I, it blew my mind that locals go there.
Like, I've lived here my whole life and my whole life, it's been like, oh, yeah, some people
from out of town are coming. Let's take them to Granville Island.
But the idea that a local goes there.
That market is fantastic.
Yeah, that's great.
And it's.
And you can take a little bus or a little sea bus.
Oh, yeah.
A little sea bus.
And like, what did you ever sour on the?
island because you had to work there the whole time or did you like it?
I,
I liked it.
Like, for the most part, in the summer, the market would get so crazy busy and that that
was kind of hellish.
But I honestly miss working there because for the most part, if I worked at the coffee shop
at 6.30 in the morning, it's just other people who work on Granville Island there.
Yeah.
Everyone's there mostly because they want to be there.
Yeah.
I also, like, in my memories, it was.
it was like parking was a nightmare.
Yeah.
But now my,
one of my daughters goes to classes at Arts Umbrella and we go after school and I'm like,
the first time we went,
I was like,
we got to get there early.
We're going to be looking for parking for hours.
No, it's fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's,
and like,
past guest,
Alicia Tobin,
she used to work down there at a yoga supply shop.
And I would go hang out there.
And boy,
If you got on the one shift where the same busker was coming every day, you were hearing a lot of the same songs.
We had this one busker who was this very eccentric, loud guy.
And he would sing, what a wonderful world.
And he had like a ukulele.
Anyways, so he would sometimes be right beside us at the coffee shop.
And when he'd sing the brightness of day, the dark, darkness of night.
the dark darkness of night
we would yell
the darkness
Americano
nice
or something
he would yell
and he'd try and get us
to yell it along
so we'd be like
in the middle of a rush
and then I'm like making
coffees and we'll Americano
that's fun
a little bit
what are those restaurants
you go to where like
the staff all yells something
oh Fatburger
I think they do it at
they'll yell like
Like if somebody orders a particular
Yeah, someone will shout out what the order was
And I'll shout it back to you
And some sushi restaurants do it
Yeah, and there's definitely
Yeah, I've been in a Rama place where when you walk in
The entire staff says hello to you
Which is very nice, it's very welcoming
It's nice
I went to, do you ever go to the Storm Crow?
Oh yeah
They would have like the big thing
If you ordered a particular drink, the lights would all dim
And music would play
And it had like sparklers in the thing
It was, and I probably cost like $50.
But, oh, the presentation, you know.
Yeah, that's, was there a busker, you don't have to name names, but was there a busker where you're like, the brother?
Well, like that one, he was a little, like, annoying.
He would, because he would come in and, like, just, you know, when it's not busy, but someone will just talk to you.
You're kind of trapped.
You're trapped.
Yeah.
And he would come in and, like, pour the sugar.
his coffee and like, you know, just hold the sugar upside down for like a minute straight.
Yeah.
Oh.
You want some coffee with each other?
Yeah.
The, in this neighborhood, there's a couple of plazas and they'll have performers.
And there's one guy who's just like a, he's like the crooner.
He plays along.
He sings along to backing tracks.
Love him.
Yeah.
There's a guy that plays out in front of Waterfront Station.
I mean, he just does awesome guitar solos.
Oh, I love that.
Like, every time I kind of lock eyes with him, like, this is, like, he does, this is good.
Have you been keeping an eye on the plaza that's under construction?
Absolutely.
So, so close.
I know.
Like, they're, what seems is all that's remaining is they're making these custom benches.
I know.
That they've, they've made the molds out of wood.
But apparently now they also have to line them with some kind of plastic and fill them with rebar.
Oh, shit.
I need my plaza back.
I want to just enjoy the sun.
Oh, I walked past that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you live in a neighborhood that has one of these plazas that started during the pandemic?
Kind of.
I don't know if it started during the pandemic.
It's like, yeah, I live near, I guess I don't want to dox myself.
No, dogs yourself.
We'll dox you, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, yeah, they're, you know, they did a big construction.
There's a bunch of picnic tables and stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So this was just kind of a slap dash.
They put some picnic tables out and, like, other people brought boxes and chairs.
And it just became, like, the place to be.
Yeah.
And they shut it down.
They didn't warn anybody.
So everybody was like, oh, my day.
They warned people.
Everyone's freaking out.
But there were warnings.
I didn't see any warning that I freaked out the day it closed.
You needed to prepare.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
I just like, well, I'm not going to this coffee shop anymore.
They did shut it down July 1st, which was like, or maybe June 1st.
Yeah.
It was like the worst timing.
It was the, yeah, this was the place to go eat ice cream.
That's like the one near my place they did a construction on, yeah, in the summer.
And then it just reopened, I think, in December.
And it's kind of like, okay.
Yeah, thanks.
Now, something else that I know you do in the city is you're part of a wrestling promotion,
wherein you're a ring announcer.
Yes.
Are you also a commentator or ring announcer?
exclusively.
Yeah.
And this is once a month, a couple times a month.
It's a couple times a month now.
Boom wrestling, it's called.
Yeah, Boom Pro Wrestling.
Two to three times a month now.
Oh, wow.
Two to three.
They've expanded.
They're taken over.
Not for me.
I'm running my erosion.
They can't have it.
They can't have any of my guys.
Yeah, it's really fun.
Yeah, like, so I saw a clip of you doing it.
Do you have a catchphrase?
Like, let's get ready to rumble.
You got something like that?
You're working on some kind of...
Do you do a voice?
Yeah, I do a voice.
But I was...
I did.
I pitched this to the owner on New Year's.
He didn't like this.
Because for the championship matches,
I go into the ring.
And I was like, oh, what if I did a character?
She's like a wrestling ring announcer,
but she's like, she's got better places.
to be
I like that.
And the match was between
Casey Ferreira
and Miles DeVille
so I was like
okay
ladies and gentlemen
it's Mile DeVille
and the champion
Casey Ferreira.
Bye.
That's my
ring announcer character.
And this was
this you got a no.
Yeah,
I got a
please don't do that.
Yeah,
I've been to the show
once or twice, and it's a lot of fun.
How many...
Did you go grow up listening to Ring Adouncers?
And who's your favorite?
I,
one time,
a million years ago,
I did a stand-up comedy show
that took place in a UFC ring.
Whoa.
And they had an announcer guy that had like,
that style of microphone.
It wasn't upside down,
but like the old-timey,
50s kind of microphone.
It was probably the best thing
about that gig.
Do you know the skateboard brand Supreme?
Yeah.
They put their logo on everything and they,
every year they've come out with like a bunch of hoodies and jeans and whatever.
But then every season they'll do a few random weird products.
That's like one of one.
Yeah.
Like I'm sure they're not making a million of them.
But this year they had a coffin.
Oh, coffin.
That sold out immediately.
Like you go to the website and it says sold out.
So do they even make it?
Or yeah.
Or do they make it?
and the owner was like, well, that's off the checklist.
I bought myself a coffin.
And then I saw, I looked at their catalog this year, and one of the things they're making is a wrestling ring.
Oh, really?
That I'm with their name all over it.
I want to be buried in the wrestling.
Yeah.
Yeah, because like, uh, somebody was telling me this, I don't know how true this is.
Are there people that are cremated in a coffin and it all burns together or is it just take?
I feel like I heard that.
I don't think that's a.
Makes sense.
I've seen it in movies, but I don't think that it doesn't make any sense.
I think they put you in a box that they burn.
And then the casket was just for the show?
I guess.
But like, yeah, I think they burn the whatever, the box you're in.
Yeah.
And then they can take your remains.
I don't know.
I'm not into it.
But this, I don't know if this counts as a legal document, but when I die, you can just burn me.
Don't even need the box.
You know, you can do it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can blend me.
How about that?
It doesn't matter if it takes a lot of time.
I'm dead.
Yeah.
Give me, I donate my body to that company that does the Willa Blend videos.
Like an iPad or Dave.
I'll blend.
What do you want?
What are those, like, you know those videos where the thing comes down and squishes things?
Oh, what is that?
A hydraulic press.
A hydraulic press.
I want to be a hydraulic press.
You need of like a body-sized one
Yeah
Or they can just press it
It you know one piece at a time
I don't like it when they
I want to see it just
Squish and smash
I don't like it when the thing has holes in it
And it comes out like
Like a spaghetti
Yeah
No it's really like
It makes me mad
I'm like no
Also when they do it
And they do it to like a skittal
I'm like they should have skittles like
They should have long skittles
Instead of just brown skittles
I like smashing a penny
Yeah, style Skittles.
There's one woman who does videos,
she's British, and she's just reacting
to those specific videos, and she doesn't
like when it's glass, she doesn't like anything
that's too hard. Yeah. And unsatisfying.
It's either like, she's 100%
on board or she hates it.
I saw a golf ball, not that long ago,
and that was great.
It kind of unravels like it's all just elastic
bands, basically, inside.
Anyways, check out that, and
someday Gina will be on it
and having your head squished.
Yeah.
Yeah, they either need a body-sized one or they need to put through at different times.
Ooh.
Now, before the podcast started, we were talking about movies that we have watched recently.
You said you'd watch.
The moment, the Charlie X, CX movie.
Yeah.
I need to know everything.
Yeah, tell us all about it.
And are you a big Charlie XX fan?
I'd say I'm a fan.
I wouldn't say I'm a big fan.
Would you go see them in concert?
Yeah, I have.
Oh, you have?
Okay, that's pretty big fan.
Are Charlie XEX's pronouns?
I don't want to guess.
She is a she.
Yeah, I saw her in like 2019 at the Commodore, so before she was.
Oh, wow.
Cool.
Yeah.
Before Brat Summer.
So I was asking you guys, so about the moment, it's about Brad's summer.
Yeah.
Where were you?
Did you have a Brat Summer?
That was 20, 25.
was Brad Summer?
I think it was
2024, right?
Because this year's
different.
And then what year
was a white guy summer?
That white boy summer?
Oh,
was...
2023?
No, maybe earlier.
Really?
Chet Hanks?
Yeah.
Shut damn time flies.
Jesus.
I would have thought that was 24.
Jesus.
But then there was hot girl summer.
Oh, yeah,
when was hot girl summer?
What's this year?
It's kind of like the zodiac.
Like, what year?
I'm just going to find out
when white boy summer was.
Oh boy, you're looking up white boy summer and broom jumping on the same.
White boy summer has its own entry, 2021.
Oh, man.
Wow.
That's insane.
We were having a white boy summer basically in the pandemic.
Hoggirl summer was 2019.
Oh.
Wow.
Okay.
What was last year?
Last year was Brat summer?
No.
No.
Last year was kind of a nothing.
Yeah, nothing.
It was a, yeah, there wasn't even a song of the summer.
Yeah.
Pretty bleak.
Yeah.
Looking back, it's plenty bleak.
So what happens in this film?
Takes place during Brat Summer.
Right.
Which you'll remember is 2024.
Brat Summer was like this huge, it was like the biggest album she ever made was Brat.
And it was like all of a sudden.
It's a green album.
Yeah.
It's like the slime green.
Everything's slime green.
And her record label is like really trying to capitalize on it.
And everyone's trying to capitalize on it.
And everyone's trying to capitalize on it.
So this is a documentary.
It's like a mockumentary.
Oh.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
So it's not that funny.
But basically it's about her label trying to like how they were trying to really pressure her into selling out.
Right.
And making the moment last as long as it could where she was just kind of like, this is just,
the project I made.
Maybe I should move on to the next thing.
So the movie is her record label being like,
you need to film this concert,
and we're going to bring in this director
who totally doesn't suit your vision and style.
But the whole movie is her label just telling her to do stuff
and her being like, oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
And she's like really frustrated.
You know she doesn't want to do it.
That's bad improv too.
She just keeps being like, I don't know.
I have to go.
And it's like very frustrating to watch.
Yeah.
And is there,
is there like a plot that goes through?
Right.
Does she do the thing?
They're trying.
Yeah, I can,
I'll spoil it.
Please.
You guys aren't going to watch it.
Well,
I mean,
it happened.
Yeah.
She,
she,
they,
their whole thing is they're trying to make her do this concert film.
Okay.
They're trying to make her do this concert film.
And,
She doesn't really want to do it, but they're pressuring her too.
And that's the plot.
And then she...
Does she do it?
And then she ends up doing it, but almost like to stick it to them to be like, it's
going to be bad because it's not me.
And then I can move on to the next thing.
And it's her being like, you shouldn't sell out.
I don't know.
You shouldn't tell me what to do.
Yeah, kind of.
It's like remember Neil Young was like, had a...
one album left on a contract he wanted out of.
So he, like, wrote a crazy kind of like Pruner album that was nothing like what he did.
And just to piss them off.
And released it on the Pono.
This was pre-Pono.
Was Pono his thing?
Pono was his thing.
Okay.
And Pono was like a Spotify.
No, Pono was like an iPod.
Oh, he made his own iPod.
A triangular iPod.
It was called the Pono.
It was Neil Young's Pono.
He also had his own brand of miniature trains.
No, I think he got an ownership stake in Lionel trains.
Okay.
Run by Lionel, Rich.
But it was, yeah, the Pono was a triangular iPod that had everyone said it sounded so much better than an iPod.
It had higher fidelity.
Yeah, because he doesn't have his music on Spotify, right?
He might.
Or he does now.
He probably everyone does now until they take it off.
Garth Brooks doesn't.
No?
That's a man of integrity.
Yeah.
I guess.
He's, um...
I've been, uh, eBay has been trying to sell me a shirt.
This is Garf Brooks and it's Garfield dress as Garth Brooks.
Dave, you've got to buy that shirt.
That sounds awesome.
It looks vintage, but then you go to it and it's available in every size.
Well, that's not vintage.
No, it's not vintage, but that seems like something you'd want to keep, uh, for summertime.
You know, maybe cut the sleeves off.
Yeah, Garth Brooks summer.
I, he, he, he, he, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's summer.
He was somebody that I would, if I were able to see him, I would absolutely go see him in concert.
Because apparently he's amazing in concert.
Oh, really?
He flies around on wires.
Or he did 30 years ago.
Bailey still does.
Is he still touring?
He, a few years ago, he was playing in Edmonton.
It sold out so fast.
And then he ended up doing 14 shows in Edmonton.
Holy.
Is he still?
He still there?
He could if he wanted to.
What is Garland?
Brookes up to them.
Google this.
No.
What is this summer going to be?
I'm going to say this is going to be the baked potato summer.
Baked potato summer.
That's good.
Yeah.
Wendy still have the baked potato.
That's a good question.
Wendy's inventor of the baked potato.
That's the only place.
Are you a fan of a baked potato?
Yeah, I like a baked potato.
What's your favorite potato preparation?
Oh, mashed.
Yeah, mashed.
Yeah.
More than fries are chips?
Oh, chips are so good.
Chips are so good.
I'm thinking about chips right now.
I'm still mashed.
Oh, yeah?
I'm fried out.
Their fries come with everything.
Oh, fries, sure.
Yeah.
I like it in a putteen.
I mean, I like them.
I got like an order of fries the other night because I just like didn't want a meal, but I wanted something.
I wanted to feel a lot.
Yeah.
But yeah, mashed.
Man, hard to beat.
Hard to beat. Do you go a lot of concerts?
Yeah, sort of. Yeah.
I think you and I talked about you went to an Aver-Levin concert.
Yeah, I went on her greatest hits tour like two years ago.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Was it really her or was it the replacement?
Melissa.
Yeah.
Do you know this?
Is this like the Jim Carrey thing that it's like somebody's playing her?
Oh, well, Jim Carrey, that was a brand new, it's a brand new thing.
Brand new thing, yeah.
Yeah, it was a replacement.
She's been replaced by a look-alike, sound alike.
Does she have the vampire teeth just like the real Avril?
She's got it all.
Oh, wow, okay.
That one I don't believe.
I'm like...
I don't believe any of them.
What?
I don't believe Paul McCartney was replaced.
I don't believe Ever Levine was replaced.
Jim Carrey's...
He looks like Jim Carrey is...
Yeah, his plastic surgery looks like...
He's going to work.
After surgery.
Yeah.
And there wasn't, there was, um, uh, Andrew W.K was another one where they said like,
oh, he doesn't look like the same guy.
And he's like, well, he just got older.
Like it doesn't look like, I don't look like the same guy.
Also, it's, you know, I haven't been looking at Andrew W.K. very much.
Oh, isn't he like a party guy?
He's not going to age.
Well, he's.
Yeah.
He was, his big thing was partying.
Yeah.
But also, was he straight age guy?
Well, I heard conflicting things.
I think it seems like he would be a guy who would like really crush a six-back.
Just like of the cheapest beer you can imagine.
Yeah, but he tried to, I think it was, he was a straight-edge guy publicly.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
He's also married to Kat Dennings.
Congratulations.
Andrew W.K.
Or whoever is playing him at this point.
Why would anybody?
I guess that was a big thing.
Like Elvis was the thing that forever they said like, well, he's still alive.
Oh, yeah.
And Tupac, yeah.
Oh, true.
Yeah.
He had a lot of unreleased stuff.
He had a lot of unreleased albums.
Yeah, they're still digging into his archives.
Let him rest.
Yeah, his therapist said he had a lot of unreleased stuff.
He said he needs to deal with.
Yeah, it's, I'm trying to think of it else.
I mean, obviously there was like that last Beatles song that came out like a year or two ago.
and then.
Now and then.
Three years ago now, maybe.
Oh, man.
Time is all over the map, man.
I can't.
That seems like it would have been last year, but it's totally not.
But yeah, the, uh, that song wasn't very good.
No, that was just what they had left.
Yeah, they had like a recording of John, maybe on concept.
Part of it and they used AI to like restore it.
Oh, no.
That was the hook.
You don't, you didn't like now and then?
No.
And then.
And it's the classic.
And the album art was just like, just the most basic.
Like it looked like some, like what an independent artist,
like an independent 80-year-old artist would put out.
Just the words on the cover.
There aren't a lot of independent 80-year-old artists out there.
As far as I know, I couldn't name one.
Yeah, the labels of scooped them all up.
They're all on major labels.
Yeah, it's a, there's a guy that I really.
like named Charles Bradley
who he was discovered as an old man
and so he had to like tour
and I think he was saying like touring
is very much a young man's
game. He was only famous for
a few years and then he died right? Then he died. Yeah
and uh... same with Sharon Jones
she was like discovered as
in her 50s or 60s
and then did she die pretty quickly?
Yeah. Yeah. On the
road life man. Stop making
our grandparents famous.
Yeah.
It's not fun anymore.
Yeah, I feel like the one guy who, like, would never retire and we just had to see him a lot as an old man was Rick Flair.
He kept wrestling well-addled.
No, he's still alive, but he was wrestling into his, like, way into his Cesar.
Is he still wrestling?
I mean, I don't think he would rule it out.
What age do we think Rick Flair is today?
I think he's probably.
70?
At least.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We were talking a few weeks ago about carrot top.
Carrot top is 61 now.
So Rick Flair's got to be.
Yeah.
I wonder what the last time, though, he wrestled.
He was like, I think he was still doing it.
I'm not saying 80.
I'm saying Rick Flair is 77.
77?
I'm going to just say straight up 70.
I'm going to say 78.
He turned 77 on February 25th.
Happy birthday, Rick Flair.
You owe me a Coke.
Um, the, uh, yeah, there was a match from like a while ago where him and Hulk Hogan were wrestling and it was like, you guys, you gotta save your money.
Like, you can't just keep, keep wrestling his old dudes, you know?
You said Hulk Hogan, I immediately thought about having a big plate of past.
What was he too full?
What did he eat that day?
Sushi.
Sushi.
You know about the Hulk Hogan sex tape?
Oh, a nice thing.
I don't.
Oh, wow.
Let me spin you a tail.
Shocking.
He, his buddy, Bubba the Love Sponge, asked him to have sex with his wife.
And he recorded it.
And the whole time leading up to, and maybe after.
And during, maybe.
Yeah, maybe during as well.
He kept saying how full he was.
He ate too much food.
He ate too much sushi.
He kept calling himself a fat pig.
Anyways, yeah, I watched the.
And that video led to the website Gawker being shut down, yeah.
Oh.
Because it became a big lawsuit thing.
Oh, my God.
But, you know, it's every kid's fantasy to see their childhood idol's sex tape.
Absolutely.
Stuffed sex tape.
Oh, yeah.
Who's my child's head idol?
I guess Alf hasn't really released a sex tape.
I hate too much cat.
Not yet.
Did you have a childhood idol?
Yeah.
My childhood idol.
Is it April Levine?
Probably.
She's probably up there.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Because if you were worse.
Yeah.
Her and Ashley Simpson.
Oh, yeah.
Ashley Simpson.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
She was great.
I thought she was great.
She was great.
I don't think it was a big deal that she was singing to a backing track.
No, she made it worse by doing that little jig.
She definitely jigged it.
But it wasn't her fault.
Like other people definitely.
Yeah.
And it was like, it's the same thing with like Millie Vanilla.
Like, nobody cares.
Nobody cares if you can sing or not.
But she was.
She could kind of say.
Millie Vanilly, they didn't sing their own stuff.
She sang her own thing.
She was lip-sinking herself.
Yeah.
Right.
You know?
Yeah.
Like Kid Rock did during that halftime show.
Oh, boy.
I didn't watch it.
Is it good?
He really has the mic away from himself when he's singing a lot.
Oh, yeah.
Now, what?
Have you seen, what's the name, Frankie Valley?
We've talked about these people.
Oh, yeah.
It's just like a stiff man, not even moving his mouth.
That's, you know, that's your Rick Flair.
He looks like a broken animatronic.
Yes.
What if they did just bring out an animatronic?
Would anybody know that it wasn't Frankie Valley?
How many Ashley Simpson songs can you name?
Not you.
You love her.
You had the albums.
And is she still married to Pete Wentz?
Is there a song, is it called Pieces of Me?
Yes.
On a Monday.
I'm waiting.
And then she has like a really party animal one.
I'm trying to remember, you make me want to.
Oh, la la.
Yeah.
You're going to love this.
She's married to Evan Ross, son of Diana Ross.
Oh.
So she is now Diana Ross's daughter-in-law.
Cool.
Is Diana Ross still with us?
Yes.
Okay.
She came out at a Beyonce concert last year.
She came out?
Oh, my God.
I don't know.
She's coming out.
She's been out.
Okay.
Yeah.
Good for you, Ashley Simpson.
No longer living in the shadow of someone else's dream.
That's the third song I can name.
The, uh, there was.
the TMZ sphere was all ablaze.
In Canada, we have TMZAD.
It was about Pink and her partner,
The biker.
The biker.
Yeah.
Carrie?
Carrie Strug.
Was it Carrie Hart?
Oh, maybe.
Yeah, I think so.
Or it was Corey Hart and he wore sunglasses.
He wore sunglasses at night.
I think it was.
Anyways, there were.
rumors that they were splitting up and they both jumped on those rumors and said, no way.
Oh, and well, he jumped over the rumors on his BMX, but.
And she swirled whatever the hell she does.
She used silted her way out.
Oh, her and Garth Brooks going on tour together.
What was her song a couple years ago that?
Oh, yeah, it was a very frustrating song to listen to.
It was, I'm never going to not dance again.
Oh, yeah.
Putting in the double.
It was trouble.
We salute pink.
We salute pink and her biking husband.
Does he motorbike or regular bike?
It's like a...
Like, motocross?
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like there was a scene in Charlie's Angels full throttle with all of them.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Her, her husband, the Angels.
Yeah, wow.
And Shia LaBough.
Was he there?
Yeah.
I just watched that movie again.
Full throttle?
Yeah.
What's a movie?
Was that a McGie joint?
I think so.
Is there a movie that you watch every year?
You're like, not on purpose, but you're like, well, I've watched it again.
There's a lot probably.
That's a good one.
And specifically full throttle, not the first one for some reason.
Bernie Mac in the second.
Yeah, he's so funny.
Yeah.
Josie and the Pussy Cats is probably another one.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I've seen that, I'm pretty sure.
It's got Josie and the Pussy Cats in it.
And the boy band Dujure with who's in Breckenmeier.
Yeah.
Boy, a lot of those guys.
Breckhmeier, Seth Green.
Oh, yeah, they would be.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Can you remember who played Josie and the Pussy Cat?
What's her name?
Yeah.
I like to quiz graham about the early 2000s.
What was she?
She was in,
not idle hands,
but she was in something to do with a boy.
Are you thinking of the lead singer, Josie?
Yeah,
he was in,
She's all that.
She's all that.
That's right.
Yeah, she had glasses on and then she took them off.
Yeah.
She was beautiful.
Okay, so you got one.
I don't know
I cannot picture the other
There's three of them
Who are the other ones?
Well, the lead singer was Rachel Lee Cook
Okay
And then I'm guessing Rosario Dawson was on drums
No
Oh was Tara Reid on drums?
Terrar Reed was on drums
Tara Reid
Oh man
And Rosario Dawson was on a stringed instrument
Yeah
A harp
And what's the plot of this
This film?
Ooh, Josie and the Pussy Cats, they're like the small town band.
It's kind of like the K-pop Demon Hunter's plot, if I recall.
Yeah, they fight demons.
They fight capitalism, which is, you know, the real-life demon.
Yeah, the biggest demon at all.
What if we cut your mic?
What if we were like, no, no, we can't have that kind of messaging on the show.
They get a record label all of a sudden, a record deal,
And then it turns out the record company has been putting subliminal messages in their music to get teens to buy things.
And then they figure it out.
Yeah.
And then they're like, we're not going to do it.
We're not going to sell out.
Yeah.
But then they brainwashed Josie into turning on her bandmates.
Shit.
And then, yeah, Carson Daly tries to kill them.
Yeah.
What?
Carson Daly is it?
And then they're like, you guys should put on a big concert.
they're like, I don't know, maybe I will, I don't know, whatever.
Yeah, exactly.
Dave, what's going on with you?
Not much, by the way.
Teenagers, if you took the subliminal messages out of the music, teenagers wouldn't want to buy anything.
Yeah, that's right.
Teenagers hate buying things.
They don't have to be subliminal.
They could just be liminal, right?
In fact, there are many songs about product.
Yeah.
That Abercrombian Fitch song.
There's also like, I don't know when it started, but having music videos and having product placement in the music video, but like not just them being used, but like an actual kind of ad.
Oh, yeah.
It's a weird.
Oh, every music video now is apparently.
Oh, shut up.
Okay.
I was going to say, apparently.
One third of YouTube videos or one third of like plays on YouTube are music videos.
Really?
So I don't know if that includes like, you know, just music with no video.
That's basically what I want to watch those music videos all the time.
Same.
Yeah.
It's so good.
It's so good.
And I assume they're even better than they used to be or maybe I'm wrong.
I don't know.
I only watch old ones.
Yeah.
Well, the 90s, man, they had it.
They had it all locked up musical.
video like music video wise.
Have you ever seen the video for Lala
by Ashley Simpson? I have. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Really rocking out.
The lens is making the lights
go crazy. Yeah.
There was a lot of videos that were kind of like
Mace and Missy Missy,
Miss. Mee, Mr. Miller Elliott in kind of like
a black Star Wars-esque
background. Let's a shiny
outfit. Yeah. Well, that's
going on with me.
I don't really
nothing's going on with me. One thing,
just announced today.
Yeah.
Did you hear the news?
No.
Daylight savings?
Gone.
Gone.
Hell yeah.
In British Columbia, our premier, former bumper of this show.
Yeah, David Eby.
David Eby announced that we are getting rid of daylight savings.
And this was a promise that was made many years ago under another leader.
Yeah.
And so we are going to, at the time of this recording, we are about to jump forward.
What do you call?
Spring ahead.
Spring ahead.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then we're never going back.
We're always going to be at this time for the rest of time.
And we'll look back on it and this will be the time of our lives.
Although, you know what?
I like getting that hour back.
I'm going to miss getting that extra hour, you know.
Yeah, we're shortening a weekend.
We're never getting a long weekend out of it.
Fuck.
Oh.
I wonder if in a year or two, they'll be like, no, let's try it the other way with more time in the morning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's funny because it was for farmers.
They say that, but I think it was not.
That was not the case.
It was something having to do with World War I.
Hmm.
Interesting.
So you could get less war in the fall.
Because what if farmers care?
They'll just get up with the sun.
Like, they don't need.
It's not like, oh, I mean, I have a 10 a.m.
Zoom call with a chicken.
A chicken I'm considering buying.
It was like 100 years ago, a farmer,
doesn't like.
Yeah, he doesn't care what time.
Yeah, they don't look at a clock.
They're not ruled, but oh, I got to get home in time to watch Jeopardy.
What did people do at night back then?
Just sit in the dark, I guess, and maybe whittle?
I've heard things about, like, the idea of sleeping through the night is a modern,
uh, like a modern thing.
Like, you would go to bed when the sun goes down.
Yeah.
You wake up in the middle of the night, do something, then go back to bed.
Hmm.
Yeah, that seems weird.
I did that last night.
I like, you know where you're sleeping?
And you're like, I can convince myself to go back to sleep.
I don't need to be up at this time.
And then I got up and I was up for like two hours.
And then I was like, I'm exhausted.
I don't know why I got up.
This was a stupid mistake.
And it took me forever to go back to sleep.
That's what they say when you wake up and you can't go back to sleep.
You should just start your day.
I wake up and like last night I fell asleep at 10.30.
Abby came up at 11 or 11.30 and she forgot to let, like, she let the dogs go out to pee and only let one of them back in.
And then I woke up to a dog barking outside.
And it took me an hour to get back to sleep, but you're saying I should have started my day?
Yeah.
1130.
But it's crazy to think, like, yeah, the day, like, it would just be,
Inky darkness.
There would be no, like there'd be a fire in the, you know, fireplace, I assume, or in the house if you've done it wrong.
I don't know how fireplaces work.
Would you let the fire keep going overnight?
I don't know.
I don't know any of these things.
I think when I've seen, you know, depictions of it, the wife is sewing something.
And the man is maybe smoking a pipe and whittling something.
Right.
Yeah.
You read books.
Yeah.
Read books.
I guess.
Yeah.
But like, like, by.
Candlelight?
Yeah, right.
Like, or did they have gas lamps back then?
That's when people would like make stuff.
You know what I mean?
A lot of inventions were invented.
Yeah.
But now we're like, well, everything's been invented.
Tell that to Elon Musk.
Yeah.
He's inventing new things all the time.
Yeah.
The Thomas Edison of our time.
He's Tony Stark.
If you ask me, he's Tony Stark.
Oh, my God.
He is Epic sauce.
God.
What?
What?
So that's what's going on.
That's one thing.
Yeah.
Here's another thing that's so stupid.
Just move on.
Like, don't even listen to what I'm about to say.
I, uh, my favorite kind of apple is Ambrosia.
Okay.
Very sweet apple.
You get them at the store.
Mm-hmm.
Do you have a favorite apple?
I can't eat them anymore, but I always like the, the snappy taste of a Granny Smith.
insane.
What do you?
I like a Macintosh.
Classic.
Maybe that's where the Apple computer got their name.
Oh.
And that was, they were also sitting in a dark room and they came up with the computer that way.
They're like, what would it be?
One of my favorite one-off characters from a TV show was on Glee.
They had this guy come in and he was Biff McIntosh, the air to the Macintosh Apple.
Oh, fortune.
That's a fun.
And I, so I love Ambrosia.
Very sweet.
I eat about one a day.
Okay.
Then the doctor?
The doctor has not been coming over lately.
Okay.
But I, you know, I bought, you know, I don't know how to pick a good one.
They're usually just all good.
Yeah.
Or you can see one's bad or bruised.
Don't get that one.
Do you do the shine on your shirt?
I don't do the shine on my shirt.
I'll clean it in the sink.
But I...
Probably better.
Sometimes I'll take it out of the fridge and squeeze it a bit and it'll be a bit soft and I'll think, I should have squeezed it in the store.
And then I eat it and it's a bit mealy and I don't finish it.
Yeah.
But what I, um, last week I had one.
I like to slice them.
I like them in slices.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I slice them into sixths.
Now, because the, the one way that's the, the, the, the one way that's the,
coolest way to eat an apple is like kind of the
whittling it down. Yeah,
slices as you go. That's like
That is cool. Yeah, that's what they
did in the dark. I figured out different
apple slices. No, what I do is I cut it
into thirds in my hand. I don't want
a dirty a cutting board.
Sure. And then I take those thirds and I
cut the cores out.
Yeah. You know the name of
any of the cores? Andrea Corps.
Oh, nice. And the other two. And Jim
of course. Yes, Jim Cor.
Do you remember the cores?
Irish siblings.
Oh, oh, that's song.
Go on.
Yes.
Go on.
Produced by Mutt Lang.
Obviously.
You listen to that?
You're like, this is a Shania Twain song.
I literally thought it was a Shania Twain song until right now.
And then, so I get it into thirds.
And then I cut those thirds and half in my hand.
And then I hold all six of them because I also don't want to get a dish dirty.
Do you ever dip them in peanut butter?
Oh.
Do you?
You got it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
With it, it feels like, don't you need like a tart one to go?
No, I guess sweet and peanut butter are really good friends.
I can't figure out what peanut butter, what the flavor profile of peanut butter is.
My daughter was complaining it's too salty.
Can it be too salty?
Yeah, I guess.
It's got salt to it, but I wouldn't say too salty.
But is it more sweet than salt?
Because when I think of like, when they're like, oh, yeah, this combined sweet and savory.
I think of like, you know, like,
I'm dipping a steak and strawberry jam or whatever.
No, I think of like bacon with maple syrup.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't think of like peanut butter having both those things,
but I guess it does.
Yeah, I don't.
I know.
I'm talking to Mr. Nopey.
The opposite of the choir.
Yeah.
Anyway, so then I ate my six pieces.
But last week I had one.
It was just a little, you know, it tastes a bit rotten, but I didn't finish it.
And then I had another one from the same batch, rotten.
Huh.
And all six that I had bought were like kind of like a little off.
Like not like I could probably.
It wouldn't make me sick to eat them.
And so I bought some more from a different store.
Rotten.
Really?
Not rotten.
They're not good.
They're not good.
In season.
And then I waited a week and bought them from a third place also.
Really?
So is it?
And I googled it.
No one's talking about it.
Well, I've got the same thing finding soy milk.
There's a.
Soy milk.
Soy milk.
There's a, you know, like they'll have almond milk.
They'll have oat milk.
But soy milk seems to be, and I've done the same thing.
I've gone online.
What's going on soy milk by?
You just can't buy it or can't find it.
Oh, okay.
It's not that it tastes bad.
No, I mean, in general it tastes bad.
Yeah, but you're not getting like a batch of bad soy milk.
No.
I did get a batch of bad yogurt and that was.
I find since the pandemic there have been just like random things that suddenly no store has.
And it'll be like paper sandwich bags or like a flesh light.
I know a guy.
So, but yeah, like I don't want to give up on these apples.
No, but, you know.
And, like, they're never, I've been eating them for years.
They're never out of season.
They're just always available.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's your go-to fruit.
Banana.
Banana.
And that's another thing that's never out of season.
No.
Bananas are awesome.
Have you ever seen a picture of, like, what bananas look like before they kind of cultivated them?
It's all seeds.
It's all seeds with a little bit of.
Before they, like, bred them engineered, yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's actually when it looks vile.
Like when you look at it, you're like, oh, if this is what a banana was now.
And apparently the flavor of like banana candy, like banana runts.
Yeah.
Is based on what bananas used to, like an old strain of bananas?
I always wondered because I hate banana flavored things, but I like actual bananas.
Do you like what fruit, what fake fruit is your goat?
Fake fruit.
Like, you know, fake apple flavor.
Oh, yeah.
Fake grape.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Grape star. Cherry.
I like cherry.
Yeah.
Cherry is the bomb.
And for a while, like, when Jolly Ranchers first kind of hit the scene, watermelon.
Yeah, people like that watermelon.
Yeah.
And I probably would hate it now, I think.
I probably would hate a watermelon.
When was the last time I had a Jolly Rancher?
Is anybody's guess?
That's not a go-to anymore.
Yeah.
Or is it?
It's hard to find, you know, you know how they used to have, like, them in the little tubes.
Yeah.
The little square tube.
I don't know what else to call it.
They don't make that anymore.
And for some reason, I'm like, that's all I want is just the little square.
But now they sell them in bags.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
And they're not shaped square anymore.
Oh, okay.
And are they also gummy?
A lot of gummy ones?
Gummy's really popular now, too.
Yeah, they've gummified everyone.
It's hard to find hard candy.
Yeah.
Well, with our teeth, we shouldn't be.
Yeah, we should be.
Like, you think you want a Jolly Rancher and then.
I go to a doctor that's got a big bowl of Werther's originals in the waiting room.
Are you the youngest person in the waiting room?
Like you guys are all on your way out.
More worthers for me.
Just seems like this would be something at an old person doctor.
Well, I'm an old person at this point.
Yeah, so that's what's going on with me.
Really concerned about my apple.
I'm concerned about this apple situation and my soy milk situation.
I'm, you know, for a while there, I'm back to out.
Back to out.
Oh, my God.
You were the original soy boy.
I was.
Yeah.
Social justice were soy boy.
Cuck, Supreme.
You were all these things.
Yeah, it was a fucking thing.
You were a white knight for a while.
Yeah, absolutely.
What's the one?
Howdy ma'am or what does the guy say?
What is the thing?
Oh, um.
Then a guy like with a fedora would.
say to a woman.
Oh, hello, my lady?
Yeah.
Yes.
Hello, my lady.
Hello.
Oh, God.
What's going on with you?
I got to go to Whistler, BC, you guys, Wistler B.C.
Swish, bitch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is, for people who don't know, it's about an hour and a half, 45 outside of Vancouver, ski resort.
The whole place is a lot of cowabunga, dude.
There's a lot of cowabung.
There's a lot of
slashing and
you know, ride in that stick.
You want to take a ride on my disco stick.
But it's when you go to the, like, there's a village where all the like shots are.
It does.
And it's,
it's like a Disney,
like a,
you know,
it's a fake.
It's a fake.
Village.
Fake European village, like ski village.
And you've been?
Yes.
Yeah.
It's, uh, I haven't been there, let's say, probably before the last Olympics.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I just don't ski or anything.
Yeah.
I got no business up there.
But people walk around the town in their ski boots, which I don't, I've never
seen that before where they're just kind of going into shops and stuff.
Can't you like not bend your ankles in ski boots?
Yeah.
Seems that way.
Seems that way.
It seems they're hard to walk in.
Oh, yeah, nobody looked comfortable doing it.
That's insane.
And also there was ice on the ground.
Like, it just seemed like a thing.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
And what were you doing there?
I was doing a comedy show.
I was doing a comedy show at a bar that was outside of the village.
It was where real whistlers hang out.
Yeah.
Australians?
Australians?
Absolutely.
By the bucket full.
When you move to Australia for your Australian boy.
Yeah.
Was he a Whistler guy?
No.
I had met him when I was...
Would be my Australian boy.
I was traveling in Thailand when I met him.
Right.
Yeah.
Did you...
Is there something about an elevator in your story?
I feel like there's an elevator played a role.
Yeah.
So one of my jokes is like he...
We were like kissing in the elevator going up to his hotel room.
Sorry.
This is just like a radio play.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's right.
You do the description.
Dave and I will do that sound effect.
Okay, I'm the elevator.
Third floor.
Did you know?
This elevator is safe.
It's the oldest in Victoria.
No, go on.
Yeah, we're saying.
Oh, yeah.
And he said to me, I bet we're the only two people in the world doing this right now.
And I said, I didn't say this, but my joke is like, we're in Bangkok.
We're not even the only two people doing this in this elevator.
That's good.
Yeah.
You're only two people making out in an elevator.
What a line, right?
What a line.
Yeah.
I remember in the early 90s, there was like that electronic song that was like, people are having sex.
Like somewhere in the world.
Yeah.
I mean, right now?
Yeah.
Especially with, you know, the end of daylight saving times.
It's darker a little longer.
So, you know, it's a lot of people would be doing it in the dark.
Yeah, that's what I'm going to miss.
It would be too bright out to do it.
Yeah.
One less hour.
Yeah.
You got to get it all in earlier.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Yeah, so I went to Whistler.
It's a, it's a bizarreo world.
It's like it doesn't, it's a thing that doesn't seem to exist in reality.
And like, I stayed overnight.
The show, like, put me in a nice hotel.
Did they have a bad hotel there?
I wonder.
Well, something's got to be the worst.
I know, but it's like.
But even the worst is probably pretty good.
They've kind of like, when I was a kid,
It was like a middle class thing that people could go up and like have a crappy old cabin.
All the crappy cabins are gone now.
Oh, yeah.
And it's when I asked people, none of the young people live there.
They all live in Squamish or something and like commute in because they're like, I guess it's the same as BAMP.
It also used to be a thing where like you would, a crappy cabin would have 20 tenants like 20.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20 lifeties who just like, we get to ski every day and party every night and then we just flop on the ground.
Yeah, that's, uh, that like, I know a lot of people who moved to Bamp for a summer and then ended up staying for like eight years or whatever.
But all the hotels had accommodations for the employees.
So you work to the place and then you also live to the place.
That probably doesn't exist anymore.
Well, I know that they probably work hard and play hard.
Do they work for the weekend?
No.
They're working for the weekday.
Yeah, you got to work on a weekend.
And it's a ski resort.
That's right.
Yeah.
That's right.
You've been up to a ski hill more recently than I.
Do they still have a thing that you put on your zipper?
The, like, cool little tag.
They now have a thing.
Yeah, it would be like, when I was a kid, it would be a pass that they scanned once.
Yeah.
And then you'd go up the mountain.
And now it is a, like a fob.
It's got your face on it if you want.
I think mine doesn't, but my daughter's does.
Because I just get a daily pass.
And she's a,
yearly member.
And then you scan it every time you go on the lift, like to open the door.
Interesting.
And then you get a little message saying, this is your last one?
Good luck.
You're done.
Your window is closed.
Do you ever ski or snowboard or any of that?
I took a, we went on skiing on a field trip once when I was a kid and I sprained my thumb.
It's a really good way to hurt yourself.
I somehow like fell forward and skied over my.
Mike.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
And you really can't blame anybody but yourself.
No, exactly.
I'm like, I would always get injured as a kid.
I was like not athletic or graceful.
Yeah.
I'm like, as an adult, I think as a kid I was okay, but as an adult, I am the most accident
prone.
I'm walking into things all the time.
Yeah.
I've fallen in a ditch twice at my in-laws place.
Oh, my God.
Same ditch?
Different ditch.
I mean, I learn from ditch to ditch, but I don't learn.
What is, how many ditches are there up there?
Oh, my God, they're everywhere.
Why do they live near so many ditches?
I don't know.
I don't really even know what a ditch is good for, really.
I guess to fall into sleep in.
Yeah, accumulating water in a storm.
But, yeah, I also broke my thumb,
I was throwing or playing with a frisbee with a dog.
And the dog just really yanked it out of my hand.
It was one of those rubber ones.
Anyways, I was just like, yikes as soon as it happened.
And did the dog apologize?
No, still not.
We're on bad terms still.
That's rough.
Yeah.
Yes.
Thanks.
And so you went to Whistler?
So I'm in Whistler.
I'm doing a show.
It was a comedy competition before me.
And then I did the, like, they had an intubition
and then I did.
Let me show you competitors
what it's like.
Well, I mean, they all left at intermission.
So I was like, fine.
You guys know everything.
Oh, really.
Well, because they didn't get a hotel for the night.
Oh, sure.
So it all made logical sense.
But during my set, an alarm went off.
And we were all trying to figure out what the alarm was.
I think my instinct was that it was a door alarm,
an emergency exit alarm or whatever.
But it could have been a fire alarm or it could have been, you know, something even worse.
And nobody went outside.
We all just sat there while the siren went on.
I was standing on stage and I was like, I looked around the corner to see if there was something to see.
Sometimes I'll be in a building and it'll say that if you open this door, the alarm will sound.
Who do I care?
I'm leaving.
Give a shit.
But yeah, it was amazing how people just.
Don't react to an alarm.
I mean, maybe it's just there's too many alarms.
Well, definitely.
Yeah.
Like, do you remember people used to buy car alarms for their cars?
Oh, yeah.
Now they just, your car comes with one.
Yeah.
And everyone ignores them.
Yeah.
And everybody ignores them.
Yeah.
Even if I see it on the street and I see the lights going on and off.
I'm like, yeah.
What am I got to tackle this guy stealing the car?
Yeah.
Did you, did the hotel have, like, a pool?
Uh.
Some of those hotels up there.
have like indoor outdoor.
They did have a pool, but the, the outdoor was closed.
It was only the indoor.
So it had two different pools and the inside was open.
But I never go on a hotel pool.
I don't know why, not out of any principle or anything like that, but I just never
factored into my time there, you know?
Because I want to go in the pool at like 11 o'clock.
Always closed at 10.
They lock them up.
Oh, yeah.
You know why.
Because of the sex.
People will have.
Because of werewolves.
We're the only two people having sex at a pool right now.
No, we're not.
Those people are like eating our lunch.
There's so much better than we are.
But they, when I walked into the hotel room, they had the, the TV was on and it was playing music.
And I think it was.
Welcome to the.
hotel.
Here's your bed,
then, check out
the towels,
all you can use.
Your checkout time
is 8 a.m.
8.m.
It's so early.
It sucks.
But they said it in song.
Yeah, that's true.
It's legally binding.
But I think maybe the
setting they put it on
was like soft orchestral.
But I walked in,
it was like,
but I don't know,
this is kind of fun.
Fun way to enter room.
Now, you know,
if you wake up in the middle of the night in a hotel,
and you should just start your day and leave.
Back up and leave.
Yeah, and you know what?
Check out time.
I think that's very flexible.
Sometimes the prisoners be knocking at the door right at 10 or 11,
whenever it is.
It used to be 12.
Yeah, that's used to be 12.
And then checking in, I think, used to be 3.
Oh, is it now 4?
Four.
Oh, yeah.
It's insane.
It's insane.
One time I went to a hotel and they wouldn't,
let me have a room because they said it wasn't ready.
I was like, I'll go into a messy room.
I'll go in a messy room. I'll go shit.
No, there's been a murder.
And we got to clean that up.
So I just said, I guess because it's pouring
rain out, I just sat in the lobby
and fell asleep in the lobby for
four hours, maybe.
And it was during Christmas time.
I think I was sitting in what maybe the
Santa would sit in.
Oh, whenever he was around.
What city was this then?
This was in Victoria, BC.
Oh, it's a sleepy day.
It's a nap time anyway.
Yeah, that's true.
What a sleepy.
Have you,
you've been to Victoria, yes?
I'm assuming?
Yeah, only once.
Really?
Yeah.
What'd you do there?
I did go like a couple years ago.
Just hung out.
I did one, I did a guest spot at the Heckler's club.
Yeah.
It's a, uh, it's a club's been there for a long time now.
It's been there for a long time.
Like, true.
Like to the point where I don't think the gorge, because wasn't the gorge like the scene of like a very grisly crime involving students?
I don't know what the gorge is.
I think that's what it is.
This was like a famous case that I think has since been kind of lost to time.
But I always associated the gorge with that.
And I would just think about the gorge in hecklers.
Huh.
Yeah.
You don't know about this murder?
I don't know at all.
What was her name?
Oh.
You know the one I'm talking about?
Rina Verk.
Renoir?
Oh, wow.
That is a long time ago.
That was a long time ago.
It was a bunch of kids.
Yeah.
Like beat up this girl until she died.
And then they all covered for one another and then subsequently squealed on each other.
Yeah, I guess we didn't need to go.
That's not.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, you know, now do you know.
This is good for parties and chit-chat on planes.
Yeah.
Elevators.
Yeah.
We're the only ones talking about this right.
This murder
25 years ago
Do you guys want to move on
to some overheards?
Yeah.

It's only fair.
And we always like to start with the guest.
Gina, do you have an overheard?
Yes.
I was at the hospital in the emergency room.
What happened?
Well, to me, I had a horrible migraine.
Oh, shit, that sucks.
It was really bad.
I went three times.
Do you get a lot of migraines?
No, that's what was weird about it.
Oh, okay.
But yeah, they give you what's called a migraine cocktail, which is just a bunch of different drugs.
They're serving in a fun glass.
With a crazy straw.
A little umbrella.
Yeah.
Anyways, I was in the waiting room and this man was describing to the nurse that he had a cut on his head and he said he fell off of a step.
And she goes, how high was the step?
And he goes, it wasn't stoned at all.
Was he joking?
Yes.
But then she was like, what?
And then he's like, it wasn't, the step wasn't high, it wasn't stoned at all.
And she just did not get it.
She was like, how high.
I'm in a hurry.
What was the step?
I do love a bit that just absolutely crashes.
Especially with a stranger.
Yeah.
Especially someone at work.
Right.
Like, she's not a waitress who has to pretend to like you.
That's true.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Step, you get on my face, loser.
You're going last now.
You're open the list.
Now you're going back to the bottom of the lid.
Let your head bleed out.
We don't care.
Yeah.
Did someone take you to the emergency room?
No.
I live downtown, so I, like, walk to St. Paul's
hospital, which is the worst.
With a migraine?
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well, so I, because I went three times because it didn't go away.
I did Uber there the first time.
But then it was like, it's too close.
It was like, I'm not going to pay for it.
Yeah.
And like my youngest brother, he, when he was growing up, had like absolutely debilitating.
I did as well.
Or you like have to miss a day at school or something like that.
Oh, yeah.
You can't do anything.
Yeah.
Like, I would throw up from the pain.
Oh, wow.
It was just like I had, I had to be in a completely dark and silent room.
Yeah.
Wow.
And I would just moan.
Wow.
So much for the silence.
I could at least listen to audio books.
Oh, yeah.
But it was like, yeah.
I got, you know, because I couldn't leave my house for like three weeks.
I had a migraine.
This was in November.
Oh.
And I just like, I listened to a bunch of audiobooks.
And then, you know,
you're like, I haven't left the house. I'm thinking about death a lot.
Sure. So I was like, I'm going to listen to the power of now, some Eckhart Toll.
And I was just like, just laying there like, yes, I'm here now.
My ego death is happening now. I'm going to come out of this a good person.
Yeah, yeah, you go. I would have just listened to the power of love by Huey Lewis.
You needed silence.
My ego death is don't take money, don't take fame.
Dave, do you have an overheard?
Yeah, I was at the grocery store.
This was Save on Foods on Maine and 13th.
Okay.
Woo.
Shout out.
And I was in line and it was a short line.
It was a midday grocery trip.
And they don't have self-checkouts at this place.
They don't.
You got to go through people.
Yeah, this is all traditional.
And so I just like started putting my stuff in and I, on the conveyor belt.
And the cashier was talking to the guy ahead of me who was like finishing up.
And the cashier was a young woman.
And I just heard her say, you're my favorite kind of man.
Oh, wow.
And he's the guy's like, whoa, oh, oh.
And she goes, I just love your energy.
Wow.
Are you a high school teacher?
What?
And the guy goes, no.
But he did have this kind of energy.
Wow.
My favorite kind of man.
Because I find when I've been to places where I do the traditional checkout, the people hate talking.
They're not happy to have you in their line.
They're happy if you go over to the self-time.
checkout, you know.
Yeah, I was at
Shavvers Dr. One night, and I rang through my things
and left, and then one of the employees came out
and was like, oh, do you have your receipt?
I was like, nobody has a receipt.
I threw another garbage.
And I was like, what's wrong?
And she thought that I had scanned.
She thought I stole something.
Oh, my God.
And I was like, I would never.
Well, and I was like, lady, little tiny person,
you shouldn't be chasing people out the door.
Don't they have security guards?
Yeah, I nod at the security yard every time.
Oh, yeah, I give them a nod.
We're a friend.
I give him a nod knowing I just stole something.
I give him a wink.
You're doing a great job.
You're my favorite kind of guy, security guard.
You're my favorite kind of guy.
Graham, what's your overheard?
My overheard was at a taco restaurant in Whistler, which just happened to be across the street from the hotel I was at.
I love tacos.
Oh, you got to have the Whistler tacos.
And the guy in front of you taking so long.
I should be allowed to go in front of everybody because I only ever want one thing and I'll be quick and out of your hair.
I should, everything should be for me.
Yeah.
I should be able to wear a badge that flashes that says just one thing.
Yeah.
I should be able to go up to the front.
No, I was actually, I went to the plant store today.
Yeah.
And I didn't realize there was a line.
I started going to the cashier.
And the woman at the front of the line was just like, oh, you can go ahead.
Yeah.
And I was like, no, it's okay.
Not realizing that like, you can't let me ahead of everyone in the line.
I'd take it.
I would take that opportunity.
Yeah.
So I was in line and there was a table of teens chatting away or maybe they were in their 20s.
Anyways, one of them, girls, she was trying to remember.
remember she was like it was on the tip of her tongue she was saying she she she and then she goes
yoshi you think you'd forget the or you'd remember the first part not just the yeah we're
the little green guy who drives around a little dragon guy yeah she she she or you or yish
that's like the the psychic oh yeah like i'm getting a why
They wrote P.
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
Keep giving me letters.
Does anybody in here have a person who has S somewhere in their name?
Oh, that's me.
I'm looking, does anyone lose a relative who had a vowel in their name?
What was that show called with the guy that did that?
Crossing over with John Edward.
Did you ever see this?
I don't think so.
It was like daily, weekly show?
It was daily.
Daily where he would do that.
He would have the audience and obviously people would sign,
filled out info things or something.
But he would also just do that thing where he leads them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This part of the room I'm getting a J.
Yeah.
John.
Yeah, Josh.
And I'm getting somebody, somebody's had somebody die.
Oh, yeah.
But it would be, would the shows have themes like a regular talk show?
I don't remember.
I don't remember, but he got called out as like being a big time.
Oh, sure.
Broad alert.
That's not surprising.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just a technique.
Yeah.
That works the old lady that was on.
Oh, I loved her.
Sylvia.
Yeah.
There's some good clips of her I've seen.
She takes, well, she just like has no people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People would be like crying like, oh, do you think maybe my mom's like watching over?
No.
She's dead.
No.
My, uh, no, don't even think about it for a second.
My dad disappeared when I was three.
He's in a ditch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He didn't not come back.
He's dead.
Yeah.
His face is covered in mushrooms now.
He's growing a mushroom garden on his body.
Oh, that's what I want.
No, I've thought about it.
I don't want to be blended anymore.
I want to be mushroom body.
Well, next time you fall in a ditch.
It's just lie there.
No, no, no, don't try and get me out.
This is what I want the most.
Now, we also have overheard sent into us by people all over the map.
If you want to send one in, send it to SBY at maximum fun.org.
What was Miss Cleo?
Did she have a, was she just a...
I think she was she not like one of the infomercial?
Yeah, but was there, what was her technique?
I don't.
Tell you what you want to hear?
Pretty much.
Okay.
Because she would do like, she would do fortunes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they were like 900 numbers.
And you had a patois.
Yeah.
You're going to go through a big life change.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, they're never like, you know what?
Does you see that on Fortune Cookies now?
Like one third of Fortune Cookies now have an ad for Mr. Beast.
Is that true?
Yeah.
And like, apparently they all come out of, oh, no, I'm wrong.
People are going to correct me.
But like all Fortune Cookies come out of the same factory.
So it's like he just needs to make one deal and be on.
I saw a video where Mr. Beast got punched in the stomach by Mike Tyson and it was the best.
Nice.
Because he got her really, well, he got her real bad, just like,
Brother little penis.
But yeah, I don't know what he thought was going to happen, but.
Yeah.
And he didn't just fall over, he like fell over and then he was like,
Uh, Mr. Beast?
Mr. Beast?
Yeah, exactly.
Like he said, maybe Jake Paul.
Yeah, but yeah, that's not Mr. Beast thing doing stunts.
Yeah, he punishes other people.
Yeah.
And Mike Tyson thought it was the funniest thing.
He was laughing.
Good.
So we got three here.
This is one from Zach from Delaware County.
This is a license plate overseen.
It was Mrs. Alf.
This is Elf.
MRS, ALF?
MRS, space, ALF.
Wow.
This elf.
Now here's for all the money,
what was the name of Elf's girlfriend on his home planet?
He had a girlfriend.
No, I had no.
No, no money.
No, no money.
Jacinta.
It was Jacinta.
It was Jacenta.
You got it.
Ronda.
Rhonda.
Rhonda was her name.
So we all, I, I remembered that and that he also grew up on the planet Melmac.
Malmack.
His real name was Gordon Shumway.
And on his planet, they're not cats.
They're just the thing that you eat.
And then he came to Earth and was like, delicious.
What do you mean?
Like, they're not cats.
They're just a thing.
thing that you eat.
I don't think, like, people kept them as cats.
Sure, but like, you know, people don't.
We eat cows here, but like, do we think of them as cows and a thing that you eat?
No, that's true.
But they're called beef or steak.
Okay, chicken then.
Chicken is a chicken, chicken, for sure.
Yeah.
Chicken is a chicken.
This next one comes from Katrina in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
I was out to dinner last night and overheard a man at the table behind me, say,
So anyways, if you need to know the best.
way to massage an old lady's feet,
he's your guy.
I mean, what is the best way?
Lots of lotion, probably.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
I've never really been into
giving or receiving foot massages.
Oh, I think I saw it more on television than I
ever did it in real life.
And I never thought a lotion would be involved.
Yeah.
Some hot oil.
Some hot oil, absolutely.
Yeah.
Slippery and slightly.
Do you like
Feet massages?
So, like, I've gotten, like, a spa, a pedicure,
well, a foot massage is part of it.
It's really nice.
Do they lotion it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do they make you take your socks off?
That's part of it, yeah.
They cut the toes of it.
You keep the sock off,
it just cut the end of the toes.
This last one comes from Will in Michigan.
About a year ago, outside of a movie theater,
I overheard a group of 20-something fan boys talking.
They're fanboys of 20-something
I guess
One was explaining that he hadn't been feeling well lately
And a second guy asked
Is it appendicitis?
The first guy answered that it was not
And the second guy said, huh
Because you look like a guy
Who'd have appendicitis
Which, what's the look?
Poor guy.
Yow!
Is it appendicitis?
No, if it were, I would go take, like
I walked myself with the hospital.
Did they have to, can they treat
appendicitis with anything other than
Ependectomy?
I don't know.
I quit medical school before they covered that.
I was sick that day.
I had appendicit.
Yeah.
I learned how to put the hammer on the knee to get a reaction.
What's the most fun day of medical school, do you think?
Oh, boy.
First day with the corpse.
Because they were allowed, no, last day.
They were allowed to do something silly with the corpse.
My grandfather was a doctor, and like, we have his old class photo from
the 30s, 20s.
And it's him, his whole class of 100 white men,
one Asian man.
And they're doing the class photo of everyone in their white coats.
And there's three cadavers on the table in front of them.
Dropped up with like, smile.
Like nude.

Hey, Dave Graham and exalted guests, Rob calling in from Subbria Ontario with an overheard.
We were at the gym the other morning, and as we were out of the corner to the regulars,
we were talking to each other and one of them asked the other.
Hey, I have a meeting to ask you, how did Jason enjoy?
that English muffin.
No friggin' way.
Oh, there was something I wanted to ask you.
I've been dying to know.
Yeah, I put it in a no to my phone.
One sec.
Sorry to ask you in front of everyone.
Wow.
Did you, were you ever English muffin?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Love English muffins.
When my mom would buy them, I'd like them, but I'm never, like, craving them.
Yeah.
I think I didn't, I don't think we were.
in English Muffin household, and I think the time that I first had it was McMuffin.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
You still indulge?
I haven't in so long, but now that you've, like, mentioned it, I'm like, you know what I'm thinking with peanut butter?
Oh, with peanut butter.
Yeah.
Got it.
That makes sense.
I just love toasting them and what the butter fill all those.
Well, nooks and crannies.
Yes, satisfying.
I was thinking the other day of having toast with the jam.
I don't have any jam at our place, but it seems like a nice thing to do.
Maybe I'll buy some jam on the way home.
Oh, sure.
You deserve it.
Yeah.
Yeah, thanks.
You deserve the preserve.
With a name like smuckers, it's got to be good.
Dave Graham guest.
This is Dan with an overseen.
I was in a Walmart in Mesa, Arizona, and saw one Walmart employee giving another Walmart
employee a back massage with a compression gun in the booth outside of the changing rooms.
Off I go.
You don't need to narque on them.
You can just do they can do that on the room.
Yeah.
The hell, man.
That's fine.
Now the Mesa, Arizona police are going to be arresting Walmart people for using the...
Is it Therrigan?
Atherigan, yeah.
You had one, didn't you?
I did.
You still use it?
I got it.
It was my dad's.
And he let me borrow it and it won't charge.
So I don't use it anymore.
And I'm waiting for them to go on sale.
Yeah, have you used one of these?
Yeah, I have one.
Yeah.
It's not a theragon, but it's like the off-brand version.
Yeah, this was an off-brand.
This was a, uh, uh, Renfo?
Sure.
Is it, you used, do you still use it?
Yeah, I use it on my legs a lot.
It's nice.
And my feet, foot massage.
Foot massage.
Oh, I can't be too bony.
I keep it away from my bones.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, when you accidentally hit, like, the elbow or something,
ooh.
Yeah, that was what I learned on day one of medical school.
Leave your elbows alone.
Elbows up.
Bro.
Yeah, I'm looking at getting
maybe an Ekron Athletics,
Bantam mini massage gun.
That's what they kind of recommended
over there on wire cutter.
But it's $200 and I don't
want to pay that, so I'm waiting.
Go on Facebook Marketplace.
I don't want anything that's touched those
people's bodies.
That's true.
Well, you don't know that they haven't
randomly tested it on a corpse or something
before they pack it in and send it to you?
Well, yeah, that's true.
And I want that?
Yeah, you want that.
Okay, and here's your final phone call.
Hi, damn. Damn, graven guest.
Well, damn.
No.
Damn loves it when people fail on overheard.
So even though I'm recording this, I'm leaving it in.
So I was at the gym, and a guy was talking about taking out a couple of loans to buy a house.
And the woman he is talking to pretty loudly says,
the real estate market is really saturated right now.
Don't do it.
Just sell whole like the rest of us.
Whoa.
All right.
Thanks.
Tell what?
Whole.
And possible guess.
Like the rest of us.
Yeah.
Pardon me.
I don't know what that means specifically.
Are we selling access to Hull?
Are we selling images of Hull?
I guess all of the above.
Are we selling Holes' debut album?
Live through this.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
What a great album.
And the sky was all Emmetheast.
Nice.
Are you a Hull fan at all?
Yeah, I love.
I love Courtney Love.
Yeah.
There's a lot to love there.
A lot of love.
Yeah.

One year off.
Really?

You said you were 20 when you moved to Australia in 2012.
Right.
But it was early.
Yeah, but it was early 2012.
I turned 21 while I was in Australia.
You did the math.
I thought time went backwards.
