Starting point is 00:00:03 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.
Starting point is 00:00:37 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.
Starting point is 00:00:58 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.
Starting point is 00:01:14 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.
Starting point is 00:01:24 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.
Starting point is 00:01:40 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.
Starting point is 00:01:49 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.
Starting point is 00:02:11 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.
Starting point is 00:02:25 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.
Starting point is 00:02:39 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?
Starting point is 00:02:51 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.
Starting point is 00:03:05 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.
Starting point is 00:03:23 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.
Starting point is 00:03:43 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.
Starting point is 00:03:55 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.
Starting point is 00:04:04 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.
Starting point is 00:04:22 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.
Starting point is 00:04:32 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.
Starting point is 00:04:45 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.
Starting point is 00:05:07 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?
Starting point is 00:05:34 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.
Starting point is 00:05:55 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.
Starting point is 00:06:16 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.
Starting point is 00:06:34 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.
Starting point is 00:06:45 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.
Starting point is 00:07:03 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.
Starting point is 00:07:19 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.
Starting point is 00:07:38 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?
Starting point is 00:07:54 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
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.
Starting point is 00:08:26 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
Starting point is 00:08:45 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.
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:03 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,
Starting point is 00:09:10 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?
Starting point is 00:09:24 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?
Starting point is 00:09:34 Your mime? Your mind name? Madame. Madame. Madame. Mim. Mim. That's a Disney character.
Starting point is 00:09:44 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.
Starting point is 00:10:09 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.
Starting point is 00:10:24 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.
Starting point is 00:10:39 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.
Starting point is 00:11:00 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.
Starting point is 00:11:09 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,
Starting point is 00:11:17 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,
Starting point is 00:11:30 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.
Starting point is 00:11:39 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?
Starting point is 00:12:01 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.
Starting point is 00:12:13 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.
Starting point is 00:12:26 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?
Starting point is 00:12:57 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.
Starting point is 00:13:21 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:57 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.
Starting point is 00:14:13 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.
Starting point is 00:14:27 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...
Starting point is 00:14:45 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.
Starting point is 00:15:02 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.
Starting point is 00:15:23 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?
Starting point is 00:15:42 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?
Starting point is 00:16:00 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
Starting point is 00:16:18 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.
Starting point is 00:16:41 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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.
Starting point is 00:17:16 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?
Starting point is 00:17:32 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.
Starting point is 00:17:53 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,
Starting point is 00:18:14 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,
Starting point is 00:18:21 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.
Starting point is 00:18:49 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
Starting point is 00:19:06 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
Starting point is 00:19:16 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
Starting point is 00:19:28 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
Starting point is 00:19:45 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.
Starting point is 00:20:01 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.
Starting point is 00:20:28 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.
Starting point is 00:20:50 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?
Starting point is 00:21:09 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.
Starting point is 00:21:27 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.
Starting point is 00:21:42 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.
Starting point is 00:21:54 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.
Starting point is 00:22:09 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.
Starting point is 00:22:22 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.
Starting point is 00:22:45 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.
Starting point is 00:23:02 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.
Starting point is 00:23:13 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?
Starting point is 00:23:28 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,
Starting point is 00:23:47 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
Starting point is 00:24:01 and Miles DeVille so I was like okay ladies and gentlemen it's Mile DeVille and the champion Casey Ferreira. Bye.
Starting point is 00:24:12 That's my ring announcer character. And this was this you got a no. Yeah, I got a please don't do that. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:24:24 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,
Starting point is 00:24:41 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.
Starting point is 00:24:53 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.
Starting point is 00:25:13 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.
Starting point is 00:25:25 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.
Starting point is 00:25:41 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?
Starting point is 00:26:05 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.
Starting point is 00:26:23 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.
Starting point is 00:26:37 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.
Starting point is 00:26:52 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
Starting point is 00:27:06 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
Starting point is 00:27:17 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
Starting point is 00:27:30 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.
Starting point is 00:27:46 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.
Starting point is 00:28:09 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?
Starting point is 00:28:23 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.
Starting point is 00:28:38 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.
Starting point is 00:28:51 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?
Starting point is 00:29:00 Oh, was... 2023? No, maybe earlier. Really? Chet Hanks? Yeah. Shut damn time flies.
Starting point is 00:29:06 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.
Starting point is 00:29:16 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.
Starting point is 00:29:34 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.
Starting point is 00:29:43 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.
Starting point is 00:29:57 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.
Starting point is 00:30:14 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.
Starting point is 00:30:25 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.
Starting point is 00:30:53 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.
Starting point is 00:31:12 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,
Starting point is 00:31:28 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.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Well, I mean, it happened. Yeah. She, she, they, their whole thing is they're trying to make her do this concert film.
Starting point is 00:31:46 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
Starting point is 00:32:02 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.
Starting point is 00:32:22 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.
Starting point is 00:32:41 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.
Starting point is 00:33:00 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.
Starting point is 00:33:23 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.
Starting point is 00:33:35 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.
Starting point is 00:33:55 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.
Starting point is 00:34:10 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.
Starting point is 00:34:21 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.
Starting point is 00:34:36 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.
Starting point is 00:34:49 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.
Starting point is 00:35:03 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.
Starting point is 00:35:19 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.
Starting point is 00:35:39 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.
Starting point is 00:36:00 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...
Starting point is 00:36:14 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.
Starting point is 00:36:30 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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.
Starting point is 00:37:05 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.
Starting point is 00:37:19 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.
Starting point is 00:37:39 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.
Starting point is 00:37:52 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?
Starting point is 00:38:12 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.
Starting point is 00:38:36 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
Starting point is 00:38:55 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
Starting point is 00:39:11 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?
Starting point is 00:39:38 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.
Starting point is 00:39:52 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?
Starting point is 00:40:05 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.
Starting point is 00:40:37 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.
Starting point is 00:40:46 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.
Starting point is 00:41:06 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.
Starting point is 00:41:25 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.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Did you have a childhood idol? Yeah. My childhood idol. Is it April Levine? Probably. She's probably up there. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Because if you were worse. Yeah. Her and Ashley Simpson. Oh, yeah. Ashley Simpson. Yeah. Oh, my God. She was great.
Starting point is 00:42:03 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.
Starting point is 00:42:19 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.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Yeah. Right. You know? Yeah. Like Kid Rock did during that halftime show. Oh, boy. I didn't watch it. Is it good?
Starting point is 00:42:39 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.
Starting point is 00:43:00 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.
Starting point is 00:43:16 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.
Starting point is 00:43:35 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.
Starting point is 00:43:50 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.
Starting point is 00:44:04 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,
Starting point is 00:44:26 The biker. The biker. Yeah. Carrie? Carrie Strug. Was it Carrie Hart? Oh, maybe. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:44:37 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.
Starting point is 00:44:58 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.
Starting point is 00:45:18 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.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Yeah, wow. And Shia LaBough. Was he there? Yeah. I just watched that movie again. Full throttle? Yeah. What's a movie?
Starting point is 00:45:48 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.
Starting point is 00:46:05 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.
Starting point is 00:46:25 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?
Starting point is 00:46:39 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,
Starting point is 00:47:01 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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
Starting point is 00:47:25 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
Starting point is 00:47:38 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.
Starting point is 00:48:03 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.
Starting point is 00:48:26 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.
Starting point is 00:48:46 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.
Starting point is 00:49:07 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.
Starting point is 00:49:36 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.
Starting point is 00:49:54 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.
Starting point is 00:50:09 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
Starting point is 00:50:25 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.
Starting point is 00:50:38 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.
Starting point is 00:50:50 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.
Starting point is 00:51:07 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.
Starting point is 00:51:22 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.
Starting point is 00:51:41 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.
Starting point is 00:51:52 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.
Starting point is 00:52:14 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.
Starting point is 00:52:32 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.
Starting point is 00:52:49 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?
Starting point is 00:53:26 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.
Starting point is 00:53:47 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.
Starting point is 00:54:01 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?
Starting point is 00:54:16 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.
Starting point is 00:54:30 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.
Starting point is 00:54:42 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.
Starting point is 00:54:55 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.
Starting point is 00:55:11 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.
Starting point is 00:55:38 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.
Starting point is 00:55:58 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...
Starting point is 00:56:10 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.
Starting point is 00:56:27 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
Starting point is 00:56:43 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
Starting point is 00:57:01 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.
Starting point is 00:57:12 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?
Starting point is 00:57:33 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.
Starting point is 00:57:47 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.
Starting point is 00:58:11 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.
Starting point is 00:58:25 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.
Starting point is 00:58:51 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.
Starting point is 00:59:02 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.
Starting point is 00:59:17 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.
Starting point is 00:59:28 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.
Starting point is 00:59:55 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.
Starting point is 01:00:09 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.
Starting point is 01:00:22 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.
Starting point is 01:00:36 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.
Starting point is 01:00:59 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.
Starting point is 01:01:11 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.
Starting point is 01:01:26 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.
Starting point is 01:01:40 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.
Starting point is 01:01:53 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.
Starting point is 01:02:18 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.
Starting point is 01:02:34 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?
Starting point is 01:02:47 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.
Starting point is 01:02:59 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.
Starting point is 01:03:21 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.
Starting point is 01:03:46 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.
Starting point is 01:03:59 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.
Starting point is 01:04:11 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.
Starting point is 01:04:26 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.
Starting point is 01:04:37 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.
Starting point is 01:04:53 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.
Starting point is 01:05:12 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.
Starting point is 01:05:31 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.
Starting point is 01:05:49 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.
Starting point is 01:06:12 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.
Starting point is 01:06:29 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.
Starting point is 01:06:47 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.
Starting point is 01:07:06 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.
Starting point is 01:07:25 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.
Starting point is 01:07:59 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.
Starting point is 01:08:15 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.
Starting point is 01:08:27 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,
Starting point is 01:08:45 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?
Starting point is 01:09:01 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.
Starting point is 01:09:24 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.
Starting point is 01:09:39 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?
Starting point is 01:09:58 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.
Starting point is 01:10:22 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.
Starting point is 01:10:34 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.
Starting point is 01:10:47 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.
Starting point is 01:11:04 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.
Starting point is 01:11:33 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.
Starting point is 01:11:49 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.
Starting point is 01:11:59 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.
Starting point is 01:12:14 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.
Starting point is 01:12:32 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.
Starting point is 01:12:49 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
Starting point is 01:13:12 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.
Starting point is 01:13:22 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,
Starting point is 01:13:35 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.
Starting point is 01:13:51 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.
Starting point is 01:14:04 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.
Starting point is 01:14:19 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.
Starting point is 01:14:35 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,
Starting point is 01:14:46 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.
Starting point is 01:14:56 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.
Starting point is 01:15:21 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?
Starting point is 01:15:36 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.
Starting point is 01:15:46 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.
Starting point is 01:15:57 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

Starting point is 01:18:06 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.
Starting point is 01:18:25 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.
Starting point is 01:18:52 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.
Starting point is 01:19:17 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.
Starting point is 01:19:27 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?
Starting point is 01:19:40 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.
Starting point is 01:19:53 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.
Starting point is 01:20:12 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.
Starting point is 01:20:24 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.
Starting point is 01:20:37 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.
Starting point is 01:21:07 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.
Starting point is 01:21:28 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.
Starting point is 01:21:54 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?
Starting point is 01:22:15 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.
Starting point is 01:22:39 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.
Starting point is 01:22:55 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.
Starting point is 01:23:13 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.
Starting point is 01:23:40 I love tacos. Oh, you got to have the Whistler tacos. And the guy in front of you taking so long.
