Starting point is 00:00:03 Hi, he's Dave Shumka. And he's Graham Clark. And together we host, Stop Podcasting Yourself. Hello, everybody, and welcome to episode number 9.48 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark. With me, as always, this is a man who, gosh, what I say about this man? He's a great man. One of the greatest man?
Starting point is 00:00:36 Possibly the greatest man of all time, Mr. Dave Shumka. Do you know that Weezer song from their, um, uh, sort of their, uh, Bad period That has been going on for 25 years Called the Greatest Man Who Ever Lived Something it's like based on a Shaker Him Really?
Starting point is 00:00:58 I feel like that's the title of it It's like the greatest man who ever lived Based on a Shaker Him It sounds like What's the guy that's like Has the Giant Beard and does recordings? Giant Beard does recordings Dr. Demento?
Starting point is 00:01:13 Dr. Demento? Really? No, it wasn't Dr. Dement. He's just getting better with time, though. Is he dead? He might be dead. Dr. Heald-Nis-Elh. What the hell is his name?
Starting point is 00:01:23 Rick Rubin. It feels like that would be a Rick Rubin move. Like, make a song out of a shaker lyric. All right. Can I tell you this right now? I wonder if it is a Rick Rubin album. What do we say it was called? The greatest showman.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Who? It's very. It's from the Red Album. Detective. Uh, it is a variation on a shaker theme. Mm-hmm. And was this produced by Rick Rubin? Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:53 You guys are good. He is Ruben S. Oh, yeah. I have heard that, um, from musician friends who like in the, uh, at a certain time were like, oh, maybe we'll try to make it in the States. Uh, and like had agents and were in negotiations with, uh, different record company things and like, oh, what producers would you? work with them. They had like a list. And if you want to work with Rick Rubin, you need like
Starting point is 00:02:19 a hundred songs. Oh, wow. His job is to just be like, I like these 10. So he just sort of picks preexisting songs. Yeah. That's his. That's his magic. That voice you're hearing is our guest today, uh, returning guests on the podcast. He's a comedian. He is a bingo caller. He is a producer. He is, uh, the man that makes Lowell Mountain Gallery run. It's Brent Constantine. Frank Constantine. Here is. Back for another year. Tide. to a very specific event. And that event is Rick Rubin live. It's the 1989 San Francisco earthquake.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Yeah. And let's never forget. We're hoping it turns around for everybody down there. They have been rebuilding. Ruben's done a lot of work down there. Give me 100 ideas for city improvements. I like more garbage cans. Tying up bread shops, please.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Don't tie up your dog in front of a store. Is that a lot? Yeah. He's picking ones that could be possible laws. He sees 100 dogs and only the top 10 can be tied up. What are the top 10 dogs? What are the top, what's the thing you would improve this,
Starting point is 00:03:26 used to improve this city? This city? And you also, you studied city planning. I did. Yeah. So this he knows he's got. I went got my urban.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Right. Planning. Urban. God, I can't even remember it. Yeah. In 2020, graduated class of 2020. Oh, COVID. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:43 So that final semester. COVID had started. My thesis project? Complete garbage. I'm very surprised I got through, but you know, they gave everybody a pass. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:57 That year, everybody gets a pass. Yeah, does anyone have any questions about that at all? It's like if you're in university and your roommate commit suicide, you get AIDS on all the project. Or any of your dogs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Here's my answer to my own question. Okay. Go on. If you carry an umbrella under an awning immediate firing squad. Yeah, those are the rules. People walk on any side of the sidewalk. They want to these days.
Starting point is 00:04:23 This is the thing I've noticed when I go to another city. Everybody seems to be able to understand the right and left conundrum of walking. And then, like, people coming, people going. And then it comes to Vancouver, and it's like scattershot. Like, people are just all over the place. Let's walk five in a row. Armed link side and sides. Do you think it should be...
Starting point is 00:04:44 Always on the right side? Yeah. Unless you have an umbrella, you don't have an umbrella. And that's when, my friends, you need to remember this simple rhyme. Go for it. Yeah. When on the left, umbrella is best. When on the right.
Starting point is 00:04:58 That is a very simple run. Yeah. Stay under the light. It's not really related to the rain. It has to be raining. Yeah. Yeah. But when you have an umbrella in this city, and I assume other cities, and you're going where the
Starting point is 00:05:11 awning is on your right hand side, you go to the left. So people that didn't have the foresight to purchase or find an umbrella can walk under the awning. That's a good call. Or find them cumbersome. Yeah. Yeah. The, um, there's, what about when it's, uh, construction, the little pathway that construction makes? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Construction through the pathway. Yeah. Like, should check out these gas ways. That's my. That's what you remember. Yeah. It's a simple rhyme from the sea. If somebody's coming through it, do you just stand on the side or do you make,
Starting point is 00:05:43 squeak by. For three alphas like ourselves, I assume we just push through as fast as possible. When they announce this whole Canadian elbows up thing, I'm like, I'm always elbows up anyway, because that's how I go through life. That's how you get people out from under an awning.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Here's my new thing that annoys me about walking through this city is cyclists on the sidewalk where they're not allowed, but they're like a real cyclist who cycles on the street. Right. But then like, oh, I'm only going half a block the sidewalk. So I'll just cycle on the sidewalk. Ah, ah, dismount. Yeah. And also, don't you dare bring that speedy scooter up on the sidewalk? That is,
Starting point is 00:06:21 you mean E-Cloud bikes, the delivery bikes? Uh, yeah, or a lime scooter. Right. Yeah, I've got a great, my overseen involves one of those. I can't wait to share it later in the show. Should we get to know us? Yes. Get to know us. Brent. Yeah. You're, Brent, Brent. Thanks so much for asking. Constant tone or constant teen? I could answer to either.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Constant craving? Constantly craving. Yeah. For dairy. Me too, man. I'm thinking about it right now. Milkshakes. Just a glass of milk.
Starting point is 00:06:58 What do you do? Top ten. Top ten milkshakes. Milk things. Okay. Top ten dairy products. Let's all, okay. Ice cream, obviously.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Ice cream's number one. Well, I am vegan. Oh, vegan ice cream. Yeah, vegan ice cream. Coconut base. Oh, okay. Oatnace. We're going to make this work for you as well.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Yeah. Thanks a lot. Oh, there's no good yogurt for you. So, well. There's lots of great yogurt. Yeah, there's a yoghgu. You can have yogh. In the Mandalorian.
Starting point is 00:07:26 The technology, the advancement in, in non-dairy milks has just, you know, it's exceeded anyone's expectations. So is yoghue the best non-dairy yogurt? It's actually, it's quite heavy and fat. I find it pretty unpleasant. But it's, it's one of the premium vegan yogurt. you can get today. A premium Vigy? A premium Vigy. You can get it at your choices, at your nesters. Now, if you have something that's lactose removed, is that okay? No. No, it's not allergic. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah, yeah. It's a personal choice that I made. Yeah. How long have you been a vegan for? 15 years? Yeah. But way before. Way before. This was back when we could only drink soy milk. Yeah. And nowadays, soy milk goes for like $2 a quart because they know it's garbage. What do you do? What do you do? I like oat. I like oat.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Yeah, because, you know, elbows up. We got to support our Canadian oat farmers. Yeah. That's why I eat Cheerios every morning. For the oats. Made with Canadian oat. Yeah. And the iron.
Starting point is 00:08:27 What's that? It's hot. Is it high in iron? And one gram of sugar. Unless you get the good ones. Now it's gram of sugar or graham of sugar? It's graeme. A nice medium between it.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Yes. What was I? I got my phone out because I wanted to look something up. It's gone. The next Weezer album that's coming up. Oh, God, I can't wait. Yeah. Are they somebody now that you will go see in a theater?
Starting point is 00:08:53 No, I think they're playing the arena. They're playing the arena still. They're a little mountain in a couple weeks. Oh, yeah. What are they doing? A stand-up. They're doing 24 hours of Weezer. Oh, can you dare to dream?
Starting point is 00:09:04 People have their friends to come and write songs on paper. Yeah. It's just the top 10. Yeah. And then, number one, you get, uh, what, assigned weasered? No, I guess I was going to ask, what are the now top 10, maybe top five milk alternatives these days. Like, if soy used to be number one and it's now at the bottom of the list, it's oat the top? I'd say oats the top.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Oats a rich, creamy glass that's, um, because you're allergic to dairy. No, I just don't drink it. Oh, okay. But do you drink oat milk? You like oat milk. I, I will go oat milk. I will go salt. milk.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Either to me are equal in the equation. There's cashew, almond. Ooh, pricey, right? Rice milk. Oh, yeah. Rice milk. And I assume a variety of others that I've never experienced. Seems like you could make milk out of pretty much anything.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Well, if you crush it up, does it turn white? Well, then you got yourself a milk. Another good day at the milk lab, boys. Supporting those Canadian rock farmers. Oh, there's a cow's milk. Oh, no, we're not having dairy. No, this is milk from a ground-up cow. Yeah, exactly, this is what squeezes that.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Mmm. We only have to diet a little bit. Yeah, and one gram of sugar. It's not dairy, but it's not vegan. Yeah. Try it. It's moving a little. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Now, that's a good info for anybody who's deciding to go vegan. Yeah. Do you go, do you fuck around with cashew cheese or anything like that? Yeah, I fuck around with it a little bit. Yeah. There's, uh, cashew. Cash me outside. How about that?
Starting point is 00:10:43 Protesting this store. Yeah, it's okay. Yeah. It's not great. I mean, it's sort of like a waxy cube that some of it melts a bit better than others. Some of it you're just eating a smaller cube. Yeah. I see you driving around down in a waxy cube and I'm like, cashew.
Starting point is 00:11:06 He wasn't listening to anything you're saying. No, I was right. That was the radio. That was the radio edit. And Rick Rubin's like, okay, what are the other 99? The, I went to a place called, and it doesn't advertise itself as it's just called Virtuous Pie, which I just walked into to get a pizza. And then I got the pizza and I ate a part of the pizza and it had cashew cheese on it. And I had a massive allergic reaction.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Oh. But they don't say anywhere. You just would intuitively have to know that's what is. Was it good? No, it was like, what is wrong with this pizza? Like two bites and it was like, something is off because this pizza sucks. The best vegan pizza I ever had was at Barbarella. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:50 The place that was on Fraser. I don't know if it's still there. It's gone. And RIP. And it came out. It was so good. It was like vegan cheese and pepperoni. And I ate like three slices.
Starting point is 00:12:01 And I said to the server, I was like, this is the best vegan pizza I've ever had. And they said, oh, sorry about that. This was just a regular pizza. No. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah, it was so good. Sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:12:15 See, our method is that we just make it with regular cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Our secret, we do things a little differently at this vegan pizza house. That's great. If I was in, I would have been like, hey, thanks, man. It's a shame we're not going to have it on the menu anymore after tonight. we'll see ya yeah were they apologetic about it or were they just like wink
Starting point is 00:12:42 they said they they said you know sorry about that and I said you know what hey no harm done I guess yeah I enjoyed my meal up to this point yeah there's another vegan there is a vegan pizza place that's on Kingsway called vegan pizza house and when I moved here like 15 years ago it was one of the only places so they had stuff that you couldn't anywhere else and still can't for good reason like vegan shrimp go on uh which i've never seen
Starting point is 00:13:12 cashew yeah it's just little cashew that they painted yeah it's shrimp do you like it uh it's a chewy pizza and i was i was the only person that was ever there uh and i remember one time i ate i had like a bunch of slices and each slice had like a hair that was larger than the last oh oh that's a kind of a reverse Goldilocks is and I kept bringing up and I was like this one has hair in it too
Starting point is 00:13:41 and he'd give me a fresh one and then it was a larger piece of and I wasn't even upset I was sort of just like what are the chances of this I think they should do a place where the hairs get smaller until you get to a pub
Starting point is 00:13:53 the smallest hair possible is it a bad sign when you go to a restaurant and they're like you're our greatest customer and you're like take any seat you want Why, this is my first time in here.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yes, congratulations. Even Coca-Cola here is vegan. Stuff like that. At the place I lived in Emmington, when I was, you know, not to brag, doing my master's during COVID. White Ave?
Starting point is 00:14:17 It was on White Ave. Yeah, yeah. That's a city that could use a little planning. But that street. We try on their best. Every town has a cool. I was right past where it kind of stopped being White Ave. And they just called it 80-second again.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Oh. So if you went across 99th, it was White Ave. And on the other side, it was just 80. What's the Vancouver equivalent, the cool street? We've got a bunch of cool places. In Edmonton, that's the only place they have to do everything there. So they've got as many subways as you want. One on every blog?
Starting point is 00:14:53 One, two, yeah. Some of them are even staying in business. Yeah, there's a vegan subway. It doesn't do well. It's just the bread. Is there bun? Is that vegan? Or is that what?
Starting point is 00:15:04 Depends who you ask? It's, yeah, the bread. Yeah, yeah, except the cheese one. The cheese one's got too much cheese. Just shrimp. There's the shrimp in. Remember the lobster sub that they used to do the promotion with? Dave had it, I think.
Starting point is 00:15:19 No, I don't think I did. You know, the McDonald's one. No, I had the one just from the nameless place in Kingsgate Mall. Oh. The lobster rule. Oh, okay. That was the thing I planned for episode 500. And you thought it was okay?
Starting point is 00:15:38 Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of episode 500, it's this episode 948, meaning 52 weeks from now, it's episode of a thousand. And what are you guys going to do?

Starting point is 00:16:46 Yeah, well, I don't know. What should we do? I'm taking suggestions. Live show, maybe? Mazzable, big live show. Big splashy musical. Let's not plan anything right now. Yeah, the big live show right now, where could you go?
Starting point is 00:17:02 Oh, the big live show is... J.J.B. right next door. It's got to be, um... It's got to be Edmonton, where we have the least... No, you guys did a lie show there. I went to... We've gone to show you guys did.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Every time we play Evanton, they put us in a smaller and smaller place. It was a, it was like a bunch of boardroom conference tables in front of you. It was downtown right next to the bus depot. Yeah. Oh. Was that the one in the, like, Mason, Freemasons Hall? It wasn't a hall. It definitely wasn't a hall.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Oh, was it in that... The standing room only. Yeah, okay. That was like a... They have a word for those. kinds of things. It's like a downtown club or whatever. Community center? No, it was just
Starting point is 00:17:39 like a room that people can Yeah, rent out. Yeah. And someone had. As someone had, as part of a festival. Yeah. Yeah, I was there. I was there. I was there. There was no seat for me. I stood in the back. I was standing room only because there was like a couch that is usually for like at risk children
Starting point is 00:17:55 to give birth on or whatever. Yeah, it was really inconvenient for them waiting outside. Teens. Well, the children being born were then Very at risk, I assume. Yeah, what? I don't, I just know that we did the basement of a church, or was that a Mason Hall? So we did, we did the improvaganza, like improv-gant-place.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Yeah. And then we did C-K-U-A. Yeah. And then we did the downstairs of like, whatever, the Mason's Hall with Jonathan Richmond playing above us. And everybody going fucking nuts. Could you guys keep it down? You guys brought the broomstick. And us being like, is there like any kind of stage lighting?
Starting point is 00:18:38 No, there's just one light for the whole room. And we might need it later during the show. Yeah. He needs a bit more light upstairs. Turn off the lights. And then Dave and I should have just excused ourselves and let up and watched it on the rich. And I think it was the one after that was the one. And was it the last one?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Yeah. Yeah. That was the last live show we've done. Really? Really? 2022 maybe? Oh, yeah. Yeah, wow.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Holy shit. Hey, guys. Passes, huh? Holy shit. Or years, some might say. And speaking of shows, you put on a lot of shows. Yeah, tell us all about it. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah, let me start at the beginning, guys. No for it. This is coming out. I've been told May 18th or 19th, and you can edit in which one was correct. This is coming out May 18th. Here's another take. This is coming out May 19th. And this weekend.
Starting point is 00:19:29 May 22nd to 23rd. It's our annual event. Graham Clark's 24 hours of stand-up marathon show. Graham Clark, you may know him from the podcast. He's going to be on stage for 24 hours performing stand-up comedy, as well as some other stuff he's been working on throughout the last year. How many years have you done this? This is, for me, year five for Little Mountain Gallery involvement?
Starting point is 00:19:55 Number four. Number four. Yeah. And this is the third time in the location. In the new place. So there's third of that, then four of the other, and then five total. Yeah. If you're keeping track, which you shouldn't be, the wiki only shows the four.
Starting point is 00:20:08 This is, yeah, this is the third year we've done it at Water Street. And last year was really fun. Yeah. Yeah. Last year was the easiest for some reason. That's what you said, yeah, because I remember the year before. Because I was fatter. I mean, a fatter now.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Your feet were fatter. That was it. That's true. I had gigantic rounded feet. You had those big little elephant feet. Big little elephant feet. Soft a butt. Do do do
Starting point is 00:20:29 Do you Are you Is this like the biggest show Little Mountain does all year? Hey unfortunately it is Yeah What's second place? Ah, we had a lot of kill Tony guys
Starting point is 00:20:43 In this last year And it's a big show Because they only have a minute each So they're waiting outside And everybody's lined up They go in for one minute Out they got Yeah and they're so used to doing their jokes
Starting point is 00:20:54 And then looking to the left You know they don't know What else to do They look to the left. Is that the left is where the hosts are? Yeah, ironically. I've never watched, even though these things are a minute long, I've never watched a second. I know what they are.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Fascinate. It is a fascinating show. When I start watching it, I can't stop watching it because it's... It's the modern equivalent of Johnny calling you over to the panel. It's like the gong show, right? Except a lot, it's kind of edgier. Everybody gets their full minute unless they bail. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:26 So no matter how bad your body. bombing. And this is just one minute. Yeah. Some people come up. They've never done stand up before. They think they can tough it out for a minute. There's people who weren't, they're drunk. They came to the holding pen or whatever. It just smashed. It's fascinating. And it's a holding pen? It's a holding pen. Yeah, it's a pen. And is it like a weekly show? It's. I think they do it every day. I don't know. I don't know if it's a weekly. How many people are on? How long is an episode?
Starting point is 00:21:53 Has it even watched a whole episode? It's something. It's like an hour and a half. But it's like I'm, Guy'll go on guys only, yeah, I'm pretty sure. But like, I do feel now this is like a stupid
Starting point is 00:22:07 person talking about like, well, come on stage for a minute. But like me being like and open the door of the pen, whoever runs out the fat, we're here! I'm talking about a very popular thing and I'm like, oh okay, well I kind of
Starting point is 00:22:21 imagine it one way. And so like and I think your audience has a lot of crossover with the kill Tony audience? I feel like they probably would have watched one. Yeah. The other thing is there's a dais, so it's kill Tony himself and then a bunch of other comedians.
Starting point is 00:22:38 They weigh in whenever they want. They kind of... And they weigh in during the guy's set? No. Like, there's no heckling during their set. They're allowed to just have that one clean minute. They get a minute and then it's reaction time. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Yeah. I think that's bullet time. Yes, bullet time. And if it's somebody... He's doing the Matrix bullet. Deiase Eknakina. then yeah then they kind of rip them apart i also think i don't think i've really seen too much of it i know that a bunch of people that a few people from vancouver have been on the show yeah and it's made
Starting point is 00:23:09 they're they're now the biggest guy they get up in the first half of any open bike that they want to i think that's the prize that's what everybody's shooting for before the audience gets tired and their friend who lost the fantasy football bet goes on stage you lose the whole audience You know the purest form of comedy What's the weirdest And it will go around the horn What's the weirdest thing that you saw
Starting point is 00:23:38 At an open mic I mean Outside of just like The Sort of the The hate speech Yeah It's sort of like
Starting point is 00:23:50 There's different levels to that too What I always find interesting is when someone's point of view, like they aren't trying to be edgy and they don't understand why what they're saying is like hateful to any group. They're just like,
Starting point is 00:24:05 this is just how I see the world. Don't you guys understand? I'm going down the street and I'm thinking, this guy wants to suck my dick real bad. This fucking guy wants to suck my dick. Not as bad as the other guy. I'm just trying to buy my cashew cheese and shrimps. and everybody once I suck my dick
Starting point is 00:24:26 and everyone's in the audience it's not even that it's bad it's just sort of okay I'd say like sometimes the theme like sometimes someone will come up like in costume or something and you'd be like
Starting point is 00:24:38 this is either going to be really good it never is or it's going to be like okay this guy only appears at Halloween and he does every show in town and you know he's been saving up these Halloween jokes I'm not talking about anyone specific
Starting point is 00:24:51 but it's just it sounds something Well, there's an Easter guy. There's a Christmas guy. There's a St. Patrick's guy. Mother's Day, the Mother's Day comedian. Like, come everybody's mom was to suck my dick. This guy gets what we're thinking.
Starting point is 00:25:07 He dresses up like a mom, you know, he comes down. This is confusing. Yeah. So are they moms or are you moms? We're all moms. We were all moms the whole time. But I don't, oh, you know what? Actually, somebody, I think the one that's the most,
Starting point is 00:25:23 kind of upsetting is when they come and try and like do performance art to like mess with an audience that's just there to see their fantasy football friends. Yeah, honestly most open mic audiences did not know there was comedy
Starting point is 00:25:39 happening tonight. Yes. They thought there would be something on the big TV. Yeah. They come in, they're on their first date, then suddenly 20 minutes in, all the TVs turned off, a milk crate gets pushed into one of the corners of the room.
Starting point is 00:25:55 And you're lucky if you have that. A lot of times you're standing on the floor that everybody else seems to be on. It's the milk bottles. All right, motherfucker. Turn off your phone. It's the oat milk crate. And there was one time someone
Starting point is 00:26:07 took off their pants and then injected themselves with a needle. What part of themselves? Leg. Okay. Yeah. So their pants came fully off. And I think everyone, and they were just doing it
Starting point is 00:26:19 to be like, can you guys believe this is happening? and we're like, yeah, we believe it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're saying. We got to see Halloween made. He's up right next. Yeah, I'm diabetes man. I'm showing you how I take my daily influence.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And Halloween man's like, nobody wants to follow that guy. That guy's, he's the best. Put my Halloween costume away. Those skeletons are back in my crate. The one that sticks out to me was it's not, it was a guy who told me he had done stand up a few times, but I was on a hearing.
Starting point is 00:26:53 show, which is a show where you do a character or is a one person sketch show. And he had, I can't, he seemed like a really sweet guy, so I don't want to say any specifics. He's a sweetheart of a boy. But he like, you know, went up
Starting point is 00:27:09 on stage, immediately like laid down, it was a 420 show was the thing. Layed down the idea of like, here's what my concept is and what if this person did this? And it would sound like this and then he sings a little song Oh it's so unexpected
Starting point is 00:27:30 Gets Gets no reaction The audience is completely numb to him Well it's a long show at that And this is like two minutes of him getting no reaction And then you realize Oh this is a long bit And we just saw act one
Starting point is 00:27:50 But there will be more examples of different the same song but with different words put in and Abby and I quote the song What was this song? I don't want to say any specifics
Starting point is 00:28:06 Oh, it was that cashew song that he did earlier. Yeah. Yeah. The weirdest one that I saw was a guy got on stage he told two jokes
Starting point is 00:28:15 and then the rest of his set was putting up like lectern that, like the press secretary of the United States. States would stand behind and a desk and then there were puppets
Starting point is 00:28:26 and one of the puppets was like Monica Lewinsky. This was in 2002 or three. One of the puppets was Monica Lewinsky. And this was good gig for her. She got to give the drinking. We learned so much from that PM-Dem period. Anyways, then the puppet is giving him a blowjob. Oh, that's what the pub would do.
Starting point is 00:28:45 All these puppets want to suck my dick. Was the street you were walking down? Is that something? It was. Yeah. Oh man, what was the other? When we first reopened here for the open mic, the open mic just naturally attracts like a lot of people, right?
Starting point is 00:29:02 And a lot of performer? A lot of performers loosely, no, not audience. God knows it's not an audience. But then there's a certain side of like, certain type of older man who loves going to the open mic. Like they, and they all sort of wear the same like, fedora or felt hat. There was a man who was showing up
Starting point is 00:29:25 very early on and we still have he would bring small rubber chickens with his name written in felt pen and and give them to people. You need merch. And we have a bunch of those. Yeah, it was sort of a business merch thing. It was just his name though. So how to get
Starting point is 00:29:43 in touch with him was unclear. You just had to show up to the next show. And so for a long time we would just have all of these felt hats that these men would come. And they had a lot of similar material. It was, they were... Check out what's under here. Check out this brim.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Yeah, I saw that. Do you think my ex-wife says this hat looks stupid? Do you disagree? I'm going to pull down my pants with a hat over my crotch. That's okay. I'm checking myself with a rubber jacket. All right, I'll see you guys at Halloween. Good night.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Spooky Christmas. Oops. Oh, shit. All right, I'm throwing my hat out to the audience. So there's this guy, Fodora Man, that comes all the time. Well, they don't really anymore, because I think that they sort of got that out of their system. Like, they've been building it up. But they do a lot of similar material.
Starting point is 00:30:42 And it's not, like, I'm not trying to, you know, be a little blue with this. But they come from an age where I believe that. going down on a woman was like an edgy thing. And so they all get up on stage. That's true. This guy didn't have, he didn't suck. Monica Lewinsky's.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Yeah. He only went the one way. And the women back then would be like, damn, this guy's edgy. You look down, it's just the hat moving up and down. And so they always, like, that's their material as they go up on stage.
Starting point is 00:31:14 And they are saying this stuff as if it's like, going to shock you. Yeah. But it's more just you're learning. about this man's sexual desires. Yeah. And then he, and then that's it.
Starting point is 00:31:26 And it's three minutes later. And, and sort of, it's an open call at that point. That's how going down on a woman is. It's, that's it and it's three minutes later. Then you'd leave your half-eyed
Starting point is 00:31:37 and your rubber chicken. And it's like, it's just my name, Bibb. I do feel like the rubber chicken with the name on it is very much the way that like, boomers would tell, you drank that water so fast.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Yeah, he's parched. Um, boomers would tell younger generations like, oh, just, you want a job? You have to have a good handshake. And just go in and talk to the boss and tell them you're... Yeah, exactly. You can tell them you're available to work and he'll hire you.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Just go in, leave a few of your hats stuffed behind the plants. And you have to go back in to pick them up. Just give them a rubber chicken with your name on it. It's like... Do you guys mind if I do a tight three of my resume real quick? Yeah, yeah. Let's everybody gather around. Do you have any friends that want to come out and watch you do this?
Starting point is 00:32:19 I lost a couple of bets. to come down to the cashew plant. Last job I got with a resume was 2010. Wow. And so I... What was that? That was at CBC. Oh. And so...
Starting point is 00:32:34 The mother core. From then, I've just... Just use that. Use Daddy's connections. Big Nepo baby in the podcast scene. Yeah. Just look around. But I...
Starting point is 00:32:50 I don't know, like, at the time writing a resume, there was that first, like, your goal or your objective, is that still a thing? Yeah. Did you manage to make it all on one page or did you have a two page? Oh, you've got to make it one page. They're not going to read two pages. No, it has time to flip through another page on a resume. Have you guys ever been involved in, like, a hiring process? No.
Starting point is 00:33:15 No. As a hirer? Yeah. No. Yeah. And see, like, what people choose. Well, I have, I've talked to people who are in the, like, I remember someone got an email, my friend got an email, like, in the off hours when he, oh, someone, we had another person to apply for the job. Oh, he'd be perfect for it. According to this, he'd be perfect for it. No interview required. We love this guy.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Oh, apparently his skills match perfectly with the skills required from the ad he saw. he says he's available right now, so we've got to scoop him up before somebody else does. Congratulations, you are painting the cash shoes to look like shrimp. You have worked in hiring? I have, like, and are the people who show up to an open mic more unhinged than the people applying for jobs? Well, I'll tell you, writing your whole resume out of rubber chicken, it is a skill at itself. And if that was a job, I mean, first class.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Yeah. It's, well, I think it's all about LinkedIn now. Everybody's got to get their stuff on LinkedIn. I don't think I'm on it. I got my stuff on SoundCloud, so just so you can hear some of my demos. That's as good as a resume. There's songs about different experiences you've had. It's mumble rap.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Oh, my God, you're on SoundCloud? That's pure Nepo, baby. I've been trying to get my account approved for years. Yeah, what's the, like, do you bring in everybody for an interview? Oh, absolutely. not. You will get flooded. It's, uh, you put something on, I mean, it's, it's rough.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Like, it's, it's rough out there for people to try to get it. And I just want to let you guys know if you're applying for any jobs I've posted. I'm not, I'm not looking at your resume. Uh, it's, uh, it's just interesting how people will try to sell themselves. You're not looking at our resume or anyone's. Here's my objective. To really shine in a place that's, um, as, as a solo. worker, but also a team player.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Also, like, to be, to get a real, fuck. To be, you leave that in the respect. It's speech to text. To be people, the people, to be people guy. Hey, listen, guys, I really want to work here. I think I'd be perfect for the job.
Starting point is 00:35:37 If you guys could just give me a chance. I just got a lot to prove to my mom and dad. What is, uh, what gets people jobs? Is it really? I mean, it must being friends and family. Yeah. Yeah. I think aside from... Like, that would make the most
Starting point is 00:35:53 sense. Aside from getting a job at Toys R Us, which is just like chained and they'll take anybody. Did you work at Toys R Us? Yeah. Oh, okay. For how long? For like they hire on extra people for the holidays. So as they're kind of from August to Christmas and then done. But it was... Wow, for the holidays starting in August. Because it's like back to school shit, right?
Starting point is 00:36:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was in the nerd section of the store was all microscopes and shit like that. And they went out of business, right? Yeah, well, 20 odd years later. Okay. Yeah. But that got me the job. And then everything else is just like, hey.
Starting point is 00:36:31 I worked at Toys R Us. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I'm there to the CBC. All pals, all pals from that on. Did you ever deal with, like, any of those guys that sort of wait for the boxes to be open, like the Hot Wheels guys or the Pokemon card guys? Oh, was that a thing back then?
Starting point is 00:36:45 Yeah, I don't know if. that was, oh, no, it definitely was during the Christmas season because everybody wanted this one Lego thing. Okay. It was like they couldn't keep it in stock so people were lying up for whatever that was. Not my part of the story. Not the microscope
Starting point is 00:37:00 area. All those microscope kids waiting outside. Limited three. My resale value. This one comes with a free petri dish. Inject yourself in the leg. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:15 My friend worked, I think at Toys R Us, and it was Hot Wheels guys, and there was a limit of how many hot wheels they could get. Yeah. And so they'd come in, and I guess to stop the other Hot Wheels guys, they would get their limit and then destroy the other Hot Wheels boxes. Oh, really? For resale value. Oh, because they're not mint anymore. Yeah. I thought you were going to say to...
Starting point is 00:37:39 What did you say? What did I say? Well, you thought it was funny, I guess. To foil. Yeah. To foil. the other Hot Wheels guys, they put a bunch of micro-rish sheets on the ground
Starting point is 00:37:49 and they slip. Whoa. Yeah, every other aisle, boxes askew, different things, but my aisle for Pristee. Yeah. And the only kids going through there
Starting point is 00:38:01 are little young Sheldons. Before it was cool. Yeah. Now, Young Sheldon, just so you know, do you know what store is? So I watched the full Young Sheldon. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:12 With my family. How many up the, how many seasons is that? I want to say it was seven or eight. Oh, wow. He was big by the end. And is it a tradition, like, are they still doing 22 episode seasons? This was one, I feel like it was COVID, like, truncated.
Starting point is 00:38:28 So a few of the seasons were like 13 episodes, but generally around 20. But the episodes themselves were under 20 minutes. Nice. Yes. We were 19 and a half minute episodes to the point where my kids were like, can we watch three tonight? Well, if you're good. My little Sheldon's. And so a little bit of Sheldon trivia.
Starting point is 00:38:52 His favorite store, he's growing up in the 80s and 90s. He's basically our age. Yeah. So what do you think? This little nerd boy's favorite store. This is a radio shack. Yeah, Radio Shack. That had to be Radio Shack.
Starting point is 00:39:05 And what is the thing he says when he's making a joke? Bababoo. And he says it nonstop until they're. hang up. Yeah. That never really was a thing in Canada, I don't think. It was big in the States. What?
Starting point is 00:39:20 Bobaboo. It was a Howard Stern thing? Yeah. How would people listen to Howard Stern in Canada? We wouldn't. Terrestrial radio. We only had our G.O.F.M. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:30 He was banned. Yeah, he was banned. Was he? Yeah, because on his first episode, I don't know what he, he slammed somebody. Someone made a complaint to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, and they investigate every complaint, and they made a ruling. And they decided to determine that he was not Canada style. Yeah, I feel like the same thing happened with Power Rangers.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Oh, the big two. Who did they talk shit about? When I was a kid, nothing was cooler than Howard Stern and Power Rangers. We'd have to argue about who we wanted to be on the playgrounds. I'm Red Ranger and you are Bababooie. You're Howard Stern and you are a stripper that's on the air with Howard Stern. And this is the episode where they kissed. I want to be the kiss.
Starting point is 00:40:18 He makes, I think, he seems tame compared to what. In today's modern world. Yeah. Compared to a lot of these open mics. So you're running the show. It's called Graham Clark's 24 hours of comedy. It starts at 6 p.m. 8 p.m.
Starting point is 00:40:36 So they're pushed to get to 8 p.m. right after work. Yeah. There's an open mic before. So you want to get there at about 6. You know, quarter six, actually, if you want to make a... If you want to make it for the open mic, yeah. And so... Put on your best hat.
Starting point is 00:40:49 So people in Vancouver can come and see it and, and you don't need to stay for the full 24 hours. How does that work? People show up and be like, I'm going to be here for an hour. Yeah, I'm so glad you asked about this. So the show starts at 8. We do chunks of time, 75 minutes, so you can buy tickets in 75 minute chunks, which is what we call them. And then there's grams on stage the whole time. then we've got teams of 8 to 10 comics.
Starting point is 00:41:16 The whole time. That's right. The whole time. Every two hours, they switch and they're all writing jokes for Graham to read on stage. Yes. And it's very fun. Everyone has a really good time.
Starting point is 00:41:28 It's a very fun event. And the jokes that, like if he tells a joke once. Yeah. And he reads a joke that someone writes. He puts it in a pile of youth. Scratch it up and throw it away. The,
Starting point is 00:41:41 no colonels from. that joke will appear in other jokes throughout the show. No. That's where you're wrong. That's where you're wrong, Dave. So we go a little crazy as time goes on. This last year, we did awards for the best joke. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Every hour? Every two hours. And reading them back, most of them are just inside jokes from, they're awful to read back. Yeah. It's a little time capsule of what we were going through at the time. Yeah. Do you have any specifics? Because I know...
Starting point is 00:42:15 During my two hours last time, there were a lot of jokes about big naturals. And there was some kind of factory. Was it like a dog poo factory or something? We have the best open-white comedians performing on the show. Graham insists on it, actually. Better comedians ask if they can do it. No, no.
Starting point is 00:42:34 No one's upstaging Graham. This is for me and my boys. He just, he rips on. It's sort of a kill Tony for Graham. Yeah. And what percentage, so there's like, you know, eight comedians an hour or whatever, 10 comedians an hour, writing constantly, putting jokes in a bowl for you to pull out. What percentage of those jokes do you not read? Because you're like, this is.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Very low. Yeah. Very low. There was the first year, a couple of people wrote things that I was like, this is, I'm not saying this. I'm surprised you're writing it, but I'm definitely not going to say it. But it's low. It's surprisingly low, actually. you know,
Starting point is 00:43:12 the problem as the thing goes on is that people's handwriting sometimes beautiful. Another time, I don't know what it's... So I'll read some of the award-winning jokes from last year. And you tell me... And just remember, Graham will be reading these jokes. Yeah. Not, frankly.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Yeah, so the way I deliver it, it's not going to be funny. But when Graham did it on stage, it's great. You have won best of the hour. This is best of two hours. Yeah. So this is a joke. come trees That was my session I think
Starting point is 00:43:45 I didn't write this one I couldn't and this is we're talking about those trees that do in the fall or spring smell like that's right they smell like cum so a lot of people
Starting point is 00:43:57 were triggered in a fun way about this and by triggered I don't mean the traditional way I mean that inspired them yeah you know when you're ready joking you say good yes thank you very much
Starting point is 00:44:07 cum trees are planted by the city as part of Ken Sims plan to fuck Vancouver that's not bad that was an award that's our mayor but if you don't know
Starting point is 00:44:18 and yeah so we you know straight from the headlines here uh here was a joke no come tree for old men that's good that was that was a contentious one
Starting point is 00:44:32 because that was an audience member which and they won it's not gonna happen again we've made a rule that audience members cannot win the award yeah it's that's It was too good.
Starting point is 00:44:42 But no country for old men is, at the time. It's fantastic. This is one. My sex life is a lot like Big Gay Al. I am going to have sex with Big Gay Al. Who's Big Gay Al? Big Gay Al. He was there for probably 23 or 22 of the 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Yeah, he was a man. That was his name. That's how he identified himself. Yeah, yeah. Al and he came, I think, about 3 a.m. And you know, he handed out Coke spoons to everybody. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:13 What's a Coke spoon for? Don't open a can of Coke. Is it? But like, how, it's tiny, right? It's very tiny. It's very tiny. Like the old McDonald's, um, coffee spoons. Oh, much smaller than that.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Smaller than that. Yeah. And we got them for free. So come this year. I got to Google a Coke spoon. I know that people used to do, like, have a long fingernail. Yeah. Do people have, are Coke Spoon still a thing?
Starting point is 00:45:39 I guess. Yeah, I don't look at me. I feel like they're a 70s thing. Yeah, I remember in the back of a 70s, maybe Esquire or Playboy, they had ads for. Oh, yeah. So that one, that's kind of, that's a Dior. It looks like. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Okay. Wow, there's a range of them. Those are just decorative foods. That one's retractable. Oh, this is the McDonald's ones. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:08 I mean, if you had enough Coke, why not? So Big Al was he was, and he passed away. He passed away. Whoa. Actually, we learned this year. He died of, I know. We don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:23 He did. He passed away. I was messaged a few months ago. And so he was a, you know, a big part of the show. Yeah. And he was big and he was gay. He was big and gay. Well, these are the.
Starting point is 00:46:35 kinds of characters who show up. Yes. But the thing is the jokes that you're going to hear, they don't make sense now. No. Yeah. They, um, at the time, it's very, it's very fun. And you've written on the show many, you, many times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:49 And you, do you have a good time? I love it. Yeah. You get in the zone. Do I have a good time? Yeah. 2 p.m. The best of times.
Starting point is 00:46:59 And then you find out later that the, like, weirdly, most of the audience members have died. It's the big reveal at the end. It's so tough to sell tickets to this annual event. But her cool parole will be writing this year. I think he's going to come up with, going to figure the clues. There's a little mustache. I have a writer.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Just think of right. Keep writing. I don't know how they do. I don't really know. I watched one of the Kenneth Branagh, Agatha Christie's. And like, why do British people so obsessed with that type of show? It's one of those, well, that's probably copyright free at this point, right? Are they paying the estate of Agatha Christie?
Starting point is 00:47:47 It's sort of like, yes. Are they? Probably. Okay. Okay. Okay. I thought it was like one of those things where it's like Robin Hood or Three Musketeers. And they keep making that even though no one wants the Three Musketeers.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Like, no one's like, have you seen the latest Three Musketeers? movie? Yeah, they got to reboot the whole franchise. Yeah, every time. Is Moby Dick? That's very heavily copyrighted, yeah. But why? No, I don't think so. I think it's, you can see, and that's the thing. I would see it fresh.
Starting point is 00:48:19 I think Christopher Nolan's Moby Dick would be huge and they're gonna, like, and they don't have to pay for it. Yeah, yeah. I know all the, like, Steamboat Willie and Hopi the Sailor Man and Winnie the Pooh is all public domain. Yeah, and so they could all meet up
Starting point is 00:48:35 Moby the dick. Yeah. You can have to fuck each other. I mean, you don't need to have the trademark to do that. Going down the street, everybody's trying to adapt my Moby dick. Nice. Thanks a lot, guys. It's Herman Melville.
Starting point is 00:48:50 That was your Herman Melville? Yeah. And no one can tell me I'm wrong. Tragically died. Is he related to Moby? I heard that Moby is like a distant... Of the whale? No, of Herman Melville.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Oh, okay. He was writing about... Distant relative. Both of them said they dated. Natalie Porman. Actually, that same vegan pizza place, it had a poster on the wall that was famous vegans. And the top one was Moby. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:49:17 I think he was a, Natalie Porman. No, she wasn't on there. She was, uh, it was Moby. Moby was number one. I think she's Ovo-Lacto. Yeah. Um, what is, uh, who are the other most famous vegans? Yeah, dropped off pretty hard after that.
Starting point is 00:49:32 A lot of them were drawings. Oh, really? Yeah. They had one photo. Aristotle, Pythagoras was on there. Oh, sure. So, I mean,
Starting point is 00:49:40 Cahue. Yeah, Cahue, the younger Moby, yeah. And, yeah, Moby, when I worked at a book warehouse, he had a recipe,
Starting point is 00:49:50 a cookbook that would come through. And these were reminders. So, like, if it was kind of an unpopular one, you would get boxes and boxes. And a lot of boxes of Moby's cookbook.
Starting point is 00:49:59 And it was a lot of like, you can eat this page. Right next to the microscope. for those kids, yeah. Mother, I'd like another copy of Moby's cookbook. You already have some in the car. Yeah, what was it called? It was called.
Starting point is 00:50:17 What's Moby's real name? What if it was... Richard Melville Hall. What I'm here. And what's his cookbook called? He had a restaurant, too, because I'm in Brooklyn. Oh, no search results.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I did write Moby Cookbook a book a good bowl. It's always fun when you get that, like, Google has no idea. Yeah, I can't even attempt to guess. It's called the Little Pine Cookbook, Modern Plant-Based Comfort. Semi-colon. I dated Manali Portman. Do we like Moby?
Starting point is 00:50:53 I mean, I like the big album that he had at the time. I like his tattoos. Does he have cool tattoos? Let's see. Are they vegan? Do they use vegan? Oh, it's the whole recipe. His whole arm is those animals.
Starting point is 00:51:05 as animal rights. Can you imagine getting stuck in a corner with him at a party and him telling you all the sorts of things? And his neck says vegan for life. That wasn't on the poster. Is that why you became vegan? Yeah, I'm a huge Moby fan. Here, let me sing a couple of songs.
Starting point is 00:51:21 His neck says, world's most famous vegan. Do we like Moby? Yes, because he has that song that goes, yeah. Wobah. He's from the beach. Is it really? Yeah, you remember the beach?
Starting point is 00:51:38 The DiCaprio. Yeah, okay, yes. Eminem called him out. His song is right. Nobody listens to techno. Yeah. Oh, man. I do with Gwen Stefani.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Yeah, Southside. Yeah, so he was like, he was it for a while. That album, that will play. Ooh, man, everywhere. I bet you, I bet you, this is my prediction. He will be playing the sphere in Las Vegas at some point. like a big interactive. That's your prediction?
Starting point is 00:52:08 That's your prediction. For 2027? Yeah. Well, like, you have like a, can we give you 10 years? Like, when will this happen? Give me. I'm going to go on three years. I'm going on polymarket and seeing the odds.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Movie doesn't look like he's got much time left by those photos. He looks tired. Very tired. And he's, what does he need? Iron pills? Yeah, he needs something. He's afraid. This is a big frown he's got on his face.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Yeah. His tattoos is vegan for life. which will not belong. See me at the sphere. Or will you? But I feel like there's only a certain group or whatever class of entertainment that can fill that place, which is gigantic. So it's like, no doubt was there. Honestly, when you said Moby is going to play, I thought you were going to say the state fair.
Starting point is 00:52:56 I did not expect it to be. He travels around with those trucks that set up the roller coasters in mall parking lots. between A carney Yeah, he's a card Yeah, that's the word They prefer to be called Elbows up
Starting point is 00:53:09 He is Um Uh No, I don't know I haven't heard of him Performing or touring at all No He's, but I think he was like
Starting point is 00:53:19 Kind of, Wasn't he like kind of a reckless Or something Or is there some other guy That was like a reckless That was a dance club Tiesto? Yeah, that's probably Tiesto
Starting point is 00:53:28 The big two Is it Armand Van Buren Yeah, it's Amund Van Buren Sorry, It wasn't Tiesta. Can we name one female DJ? I know I can't. Unless, well, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Peresilton. Yeah, that's true. Original. All originals. Yeah. My wife goes to concerts without me. Yeah. That's her gift to you.
Starting point is 00:53:51 DJ's playing like dance music. Yeah. And she sees female DJs. Can I name them? No. Can I name anything? She'll tell me who she's going to. I'll say that's great dear
Starting point is 00:54:04 Snooky's back in town Call me if you need me I'm watching another round of Young Sheldon with the kids The episodes are like 10 minutes now They're microsodes We finish Young Sheldon so then after that
Starting point is 00:54:20 We started watching fresh off the boat Okay Okay And we finished that Both of these shows It's funny watching like a network sitcom Binging it because they get very bad towards the end.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yeah. Oh, sure. Like, young Sheldon at the end, they are, they spend the last two seasons setting up the spin-off. Right. Everyone in town hates Sheldon. Everyone's, like, happy for him to go to, like, do an exchange program. Like, the whole town chips in to get them playing. A lot of cousins are introduced in those last couple episodes.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Yeah, somebody gets pregnant. Yeah. There's, like, they kill off his dad for no reason just for, they need some. Something to get over them. And then there's, like, sexual tension between the mom and the young pastor and then the dad and the neighbor. And it's like, there's no need for any of this drama in your show about a little genius boy. It's just like the end of the sopranos. Remember when baby soprano was introduced?
Starting point is 00:55:19 Yeah. He had those catchphrases. I'm baby soprano. Oh, I'm young soprano. That's how he cries. Oh. Mama. Oh.

Starting point is 00:56:08 so mean to everyone, so, um, like, unlikable. Yeah. Flanderized is what she got all that term. I think she's more of,
Starting point is 00:56:17 um, jerk ass Homer. Yeah, that's true. He did become more, became a lot dumber, but he also did kind of, yeah,
Starting point is 00:56:26 he did have kind of a cruel streak there for a while. Yeah, we're just choking his son. Yeah, that was a brief period of the show. Tony Soprano was out of control, you guys. Yeah. Well, you could have done an animated series about those ducks from his pool, you know? Now, I hear that if you're not in Vancouver, you can also check out the show.
Starting point is 00:56:45 So true. Sopranos is streaming on all the major networks. Really? On all of them? It's not just Vancouver anymore. Yeah, it turns out they didn't file some paperwork like the Ozmpic people. And so it's copyright-free in Canada at this point. points.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Is OZMPIC copyright free? Yeah. What does that mean? You can make any movie you want that features Ozempic. Oh. You can inject it on stage at any open mic at this point is what I should have said. Please edit that in. No problem.
Starting point is 00:57:12 No. I like a movie where people are just doing plenty of OZempic for free. Just ask. Promotional consideration provided by OZM. That's what I would agree in a movie. Promotional. Yeah. It used to be just a couch.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Like you would get a couch on a game show or. Well, like on TV shows. shows or movies, they'll be like, you know, Madame Webb will just be using only like Sony laptop and sneak flip phone and whatever. So she's brand loyal. Yeah, Ozambic babies, you can make that as much as you want with a mother babies are already skinny. Yeah, they look so good. They're all Moby-esque in their bodies. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, piggy.

Starting point is 00:58:50 People just go to online.com. Yeah, it's all. Thanks. Thanks for keeping me in line, Dave. I've gotten away with too much. So you can go on the website. Graham might even share a link. It's on Little Mountain Gallery,
Starting point is 00:59:02 hosted by YouTube itself. We were able to get YouTube as a sponsor this year. They don't just do this for everybody. It was a get. Yeah, it was a get. Yeah. Sorry, Twitch. You should put a, like, a big YouTube banner behind.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Why not? I'd love to just, we try to get sponsors this year. And it's a lot harder than you think. We try to get Hokka shoes. As I wear a, You wear Hoka shoes. Yeah. I knew somebody who worked there and he took it back.
Starting point is 00:59:33 And then he messaged me and he said, they said that you're not really our demographic, which was a heartbreaking thing. Yeah. It seems like sort of a personal. Hoka's demographic is long distance runners and nurses. Yeah. But I felt like it easily, there's a big audience there of people. And there's a tie in. There is a tie in.
Starting point is 00:59:56 I thought it was like a direct. connection. Have you buy your hokas yet for this year? No, I haven't. Steal them. Yeah, you're right, I'll steal them this year. And we talk about, I think we branch in this last year, that every year you buy a new pair of hokas like you're the finance minister unveiling the budget. Maybe I'll wear something fun this year.
Starting point is 01:00:15 I think we should just say they were. They did sponsor the show. What are they going to do? We'll just give them free advertising. And what are they going to do? Tell us to stop, tell you, take your shoes off. What is the, they're going to write jokes about it, too. They're really going to make fun of your company.
Starting point is 01:00:28 The, who's your, who's Hulk's biggest competitor? Barefoot, I think, just not wearing shoes. Oh, wow. That's a great, no, not Skechers. Skechers is way cheap. Probably, probably New Balance, because they both make big wide shoes, don't they? Isn't that their thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:45 I've got the wide foot. I'm a 4E myself. Me too. Are you really? Yeah. Yeah. A 4E? That's the biggest shoe you can get on standard.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Oh, but like the number, you're not in size 4. That's the sound I make when I gave the shoe Okay, so when I look up My parents did some weird stuff to my feet When I was growing up We're looking at A6 New Balance, Brooks, and on On
Starting point is 01:01:11 What do you wear right now? New Balance. New Balance. Yeah, yeah. It's the only shoe you can get That's big, big wide, flipper-sized shoe Well, Hoka's doing it well. Well, not to me anymore
Starting point is 01:01:22 Because they turn me down. Yeah. Did you try anywhere? I'll see. After that, I was pretty demoralized. So I said, all the people that did sponsor,
Starting point is 01:01:31 I said, take it back. I'm not interested at this point. Speaking of sponsoring, I saw you made an ad for this show you're doing. Yeah. Yeah. And I went to see Alien.
Starting point is 01:01:40 Oh, yeah. The movie at the park theater. Uh, and your ad played before, before the trailers ran. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:48 I was curious where they were going to put that. So like, maybe you already knew this because you secured the deal. Yeah. That they play it in like the pre-show loop, not in the trailer. Yeah. in the Tanner Zipchen area.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Yeah, that's true. It's effectively replaced his whole job. Yeah, a big part of the ad is take your phones out and scan this QR code and play along with Graham, sorting, recycling into bits. Near the end, do you remember what scene points became? Travesty. It was like, it was just trivia about stores at the mall the theater was at. It was like, which, how many, you. years, can you get on your warranty for tires at Canadian Tire?
Starting point is 01:02:31 Is it four, seven, or unlimited? That was the answer, limited? It was four, actually. Yeah, they set themselves up for something there. Unlimited tire warranty? Come on, man. Yeah, I like the under duress actors having to answer questions or read trivia or whatever. So this is, we're describing a phenomenon in Cineplex theaters in Canada.
Starting point is 01:02:56 Sorry. Where, it's fine. Sorry, sorry about that. Where, that was my gone. Before they run the trailers. Well, they've now added this to the like 20 minute trailer package. Yeah. Where they'll just have, it used to be Tanner Zip Chen.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Yeah. Who won a contest. So it used to be every single year. They'd run a contest to have someone be the host for the Cineplex Odeon pre-show. Yeah. And then he came along and he won one year. said that's it. That's the last guy. They're never going to run the contest. And he would interview, you know, people on junkets,
Starting point is 01:03:31 but also like look to the camera and be like, all right, we're doing trivia. He'd say it just like that. Very. Take out your phones and you'll get scene points, which are redeemable at Montana's restaurant. Oh, good pull. Well, have you seen the one that they now have? It's a woman in a parking lot. Oh, she makes you save things fast? She asks random strangers on the On the street.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Hey, how many like scene point or stores do you think I can name me, the person who's hosting this thing Who knows the end? And I have a little card. How many do you think I could name? Montana's, Montana Plus, Montana Premium,
Starting point is 01:04:18 Big Wing Nantanus. Ozympic Babies, Sopranos Plus. Good, good. run. Yeah, that was good. And then they do a bunch of ads, they do an ad where this anthropomorphic popcorn is trying to escape the produce section. Yeah, and they're like army guys.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Yeah. Well, one of them's a nerd. Although he looks like Orville Redenbach. Yeah, it's a bit of an in-joke if you're a bit of a popcorn head. So I don't know if he's like, if he's like in charge of, you know, data. He's on the microscope aisle and the Toys R Us. Yeah. Do you guys like those little popcorn guys?
Starting point is 01:04:56 My wife hates them. Yeah. She is like... I don't think I hate them, but I don't like them. We got a... We're seeing Plus members. We got a Christmas ornament with one of them. We hit at Montana's every anniversary.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Every Mother's Day, we go and see our favorite comedian. And then we get a big plate of juicy wings at Montana. And it's 10% off with a million points. Montana's there's other ones that would naturally go with Montana as I feel like Cabellas maybe would be a good yeah good partner for some reason I'm thinking Eastside Mario's yeah yeah yeah yeah um hey butto boom butta big when you're here you're not at that other place baby sopranos I will have the baby soprano burger uh with vegan cheese please yeah uh sure just like in the show that was the best vegan cheese burger I've ever had Oh, was it? Well, first of all, I think it was meat.
Starting point is 01:05:58 At no point did we say it on that meeting. Sing me the baby soprano song. Dave, what's going on with you, man? Well, I'm going to be checking you out your show. I love this kind of thing. Thank you so much for guiding that conversation, Dave. Yeah, I love you. I did.
Starting point is 01:06:20 So here's a funny thing that happened the other day. Nice. Here we go. Driving my car. And I'm at a, I hate, like, describing a thing that's happening in traffic is, is my knowing is describing a dream. But this is kind of funny. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:40 So I'm stuck behind someone at a, it's a red light. Dave's got, he's holding his hands up like he's on a steering wheel. A tiny little steering wheel. And the, then the light changes to green. One of the three. One of the three. But always in that order. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:57 It doesn't go back up through yellow. Some think it should. Yeah. Yeah. If I'm taking urban planning, this is my silver bullet. Yeah. What do you think? Sorry.
Starting point is 01:07:08 So it goes red, yellow, green, green, red. Well, it doesn't go green twice. It goes red, yellow, green, yellow, red yellow, red yellow green light. I got a double green light. I'm the luckiest man of the world. I can floor it in time just to see Moby Dick babies. And so Light changes green
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yeah I'm stuck behind this one car Traffic in the lane next to me is moving Traffic coming the other direction is moving The guy in front of me Not moving So I give him a little beep Yeah
Starting point is 01:07:40 Not moving at all Then I give him a little A longer beep Like hey he doesn't have a signal on If you're turning let me know And then eventually I give him a third long beep and he puts on his right turn signal from the left lane.
Starting point is 01:07:57 And I'm like, this fucking idiot. He's trying to turn from so far away. He's slowing me down. I'm the most important person on the road. And the main character. So I lean on the horn. Now, first, what type of car are we talking about? I want to say it was a Ford Escape.
Starting point is 01:08:16 And what time of day was this? This was 2 a.m. 40. So I'm about, I just picked up a. some groceries and I want to go pick up my kids. Yes. And I'm like, I can't be late. Because they keep them there and lock the doors.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I'm leaning on the horn and he starts edging towards the right lane. And then I realize there's a Canada goose blocking him. That's why he couldn't go. And then eventually he goes, I'm like, I feel so stupid. Did you see him saving geese? I was, I, there was no opportunity for me afterwards to like get behind, get beside him and go, I sorry. Sorry, I support geese as well. I just, I just thought you were a complete idiot. I didn't know there was a goose involved in front of you. I thought you were being a very bad driver or maybe had died. And I was, I was honking in mourning. You'd been at the show last year. It's, uh, I would, also, geese honk. I was trying to, I was in solidarity. The song of my people. Would you stop if geese were in the road?
Starting point is 01:09:23 you stop and try and get around them instead? So the alternative is, would you kill a goose? Yeah, would you, without any thought, would you run over a goose? They are mean. They are mean. Yeah. They defile our public parks. Yeah, with their cylindrical droppings.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Yeah, if you're not familiar with the geese, they do. They have little column-like droppings that they leave everywhere. They're like tiny little sprite cans. We feed our geese a little differently here. They're green. Yeah, they're green. Imagine it. And then, yeah, I hate them, but I don't want to have to untangle one from the grill of my car.
Starting point is 01:10:05 Yeah. Fair enough. But was everybody else, were people honking at you? No, no one knew. Like, all traffic had gone around and it was just me. I guess I couldn't get around him, so I guess there must have still been some traffic. I think I would have opened the door and said, Goose, there's a ghost.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Just for the person. Yeah, but if I see him getting out of the car, I'm thinking, we're going to fight. And then he starts yelling, Goose, goose, goose. Goose! Do you guys ever hit anything with your car? I hit another car once. Okay.
Starting point is 01:10:42 Yeah, I've scratched a lot of cars. I haven't, like, smashed into anything. Was that on foot? Yeah, I wrote. After a level of Street Fighter 2? After the black and white video If that scene isn't in the movie I'm gonna, I'm just gonna piss
Starting point is 01:11:00 It's a Michael movie? The Street Fighter movie. Oh. Because like they destroy a car. The Michael Jackson movie. Yeah, I know. We all saw it before the show. But he punches a bits of a car.
Starting point is 01:11:13 And he does. Black and white video. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe before it. He turns into a Panther. Maybe it's double dragon, I think. Where you like destroy a car. It's Street Fighter.
Starting point is 01:11:21 It is in the movie. It was in the movie. Okay. There's a new street fighter movie? Oh yeah. With Kill Tony? No. Yeah. But is it? There's this Mortal Kombat one coming out next month. Unless you're out now. Yeah, if you're in the future, it's come out already. No, it's in the
Starting point is 01:11:35 past, it's come out already. No, the new one. Mortal Kombat 2. Yeah, it's out today. What? Shit. Okay, guys. This is how you find out? Turn the podcast off right now. According to the Cineplex ad on my phone. I get non-stop notifications from the little popcorn guys. Send
Starting point is 01:11:53 Your scene points to Tanner Zep Chan. The, but, and there's now a, yes, the street fighter movie because it is, it's not killed Tony.
Starting point is 01:12:05 It's that other mustache guy. Oh, not the guy for Parks and Rec. No, but he's killed Tony adjacent, isn't he? I think I know who you're talking about, but.
Starting point is 01:12:17 Heathcliff. Yeah. Heathcliff. A cat. Is his name Uncle something? Oh. Uncle, uncle, possibly. Cody Rhodes is guile.
Starting point is 01:12:29 And, uh, perfect. Andrew Schultz is who I was thinking out. Oh, yeah, that's him. Yeah. And, uh, okay. He is, he is, he has Galtonia Jason. Uh, Orville Peck, the mystery man of country music plays in. He'll be Vega.
Starting point is 01:12:43 He's Vega, so his face is covered. Wow. He sent his ballrog. David Dasht Malchin is M. Bison. Oh my God. It's like they looked into my head when I was a kid. and said, this is the perfect cast. Jason Momoa is Blanca.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Of course. The green guy. Mm-hmm. That's pretty good. He was always my pick. Whenever I was playing it, it would be Blanca. He was my guy. You were a street fighter guy, not a Mortal Kombat guy?
Starting point is 01:13:08 Oh, no. Look, I went every which way. Who wasn't both? Teenage Muti Turtle tournament fighters. You weren't one of those guys. Is that something that you did? Yeah, it was a good one. It was based off the Archie Comic series of Ninja Turtles,
Starting point is 01:13:20 not the mainstream ones that you guys might be familiar with. So any characters you guys even heard of it? You guys heard of Armagon, the shark mutant from the future? Didn't think so. He was in the game. There was a big on our, what's the word of people chat on our internet? Discord. Hey, can you set up my Discord grandson?
Starting point is 01:13:44 But there were people talking about the turtles because we talked about the turtles. They were talking about different, you know, comic book. Yeah. Somebody pointed out, I think I knew this already, that it was making fun of something in Daredevil, that they wrote this. Yeah, it was a parody originally of Daredevil that when Daredevil got hit as a kid by the toxic waste and made them blind and gave him powers, that that toxic waste went into the sewer and mutated the turtles. Yeah. And toxic waste, that was like a big thing back then. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:15 We thought it could do it all. It could make Joker. Yeah. It could, you know, make a turtle. it can make the toxic Avenger. I didn't know you guys had a Discord because I remember last time I was here a year ago, someone sent me a screenshot of the comments
Starting point is 01:14:33 on either your Facebook or your Instagram and the comment was one guy, he's like, I had no idea, Brent was so good looking. Now that I've seen it, I'm going to relist in the episode and it's going to be completely different. We don't ever get that.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Yeah. It was interesting, yeah. Yeah. We do like... And my face has melted off thanks to that toxic waste. We do mostly try to invite uggos on. Well, we're doing Handsome Month here on the show. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:15:03 And next week, a big, big surprise guest. Nick Nolte. The Sexiest Man Alive in 1990. Oh, he's in the movie. He's a street fighter as well. He plays the car that they all beat up. Actually, he was the right pick for that. Oh.
Starting point is 01:15:19 Yeah. Is there another? other notable people in this cast? Are they just kind of all people I wouldn't Noah Centineo is going to be Ken Masters He's Ken?
Starting point is 01:15:32 He's Ken, okay. Noah Centeno, you know, from the PSI Love You series And Young Sheldon. There's another spinoff of Big Bang Theory, right? Yeah. It's coming soon.

Starting point is 01:15:54 But, okay. We'll write this time. Also, hold up a subway ticket when you do this. Yeah. Hey, what's your take? Yeah, what's your weird take? Oh, somebody's on TikTok, you go. I see the one.
Starting point is 01:16:05 On Facebook, my man. I'm on Facebook Marketplace. You can follow me. They sell a chair for sale. They do 10 episodes of that a day. Is that right? Yeah. It seems like it.
Starting point is 01:16:17 As long as the train takes you from once off to the next. past guest Maddie Kelly was on Yeah yeah And so was Bobby Werner Is he? Yeah
Starting point is 01:16:26 Yeah Marito did it too Oh yeah Was his hot take It would have been Something wild Can't even Think

Starting point is 01:16:41 100% agree Well here's Here's the thing It's a puppet Right So I mean There's no obvious Signs
Starting point is 01:16:50 of wear and tear. Oh, remake signs, but it's Alf. Oh, yes. Swing away. He's afraid of water. He's not afraid of cats. Swing away. It's from the movie.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Signs, yeah. I saw that recently. Did you? In the last year. I'm trying to complete the Shiamalanathon. Well, there's a lot more to go. Yeah. How many?
Starting point is 01:17:11 Well, I mean, I had seen some before. Yeah. A couple years ago, I watched all of Tom Cruise's filmography from tip to tail. Wow, what for? Like fun. The very best. Well, it was me and a couple of friends and we said, wouldn't it be fun if we watched all of the filmography of someone?
Starting point is 01:17:29 And we picked Tom Cruise and they made it two movies. And I continued. Graham and I tried to watch four Bradley Coopers. What were the movies? Hangover, one, two, three. There was a cook. Yep. Tatooee.
Starting point is 01:17:42 Yeah. And there was the one where he was in Aloha. It was Aloha. Yeah. And we didn't, I don't think we caught. The hangover was not part of the... Oh, no, it was ones that we wanted to be new to us. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:55 To be surprised. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, we watched Joy. About the mop creation. It was a movie about the history of the mob? I know, just a one woman Joy, played by Jennifer Lawrence. It was the same director as...
Starting point is 01:18:15 What was... Fuck. Fuck my life. Yeah. Yeah. The fans are going to tear you apart on market. No, it's just that I'm very absentminded today. I'm like a certain professor.
Starting point is 01:18:29 It was Joy and was Silver Linings Playbook. So it was the same director and same two stars. Right. But it was about a woman who made a mop that kind of got screwed over by the home shopping network. Oh. But you didn't give up. Was the movie good? For mopheads?
Starting point is 01:18:47 Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Big mop-wise? Yeah. If you're in a movies looking at mops, this is the one for you. Acting-wise, directing, screenplay, absolute docks. You get to see so many mop shots. That's what they call them in the mop circles.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Oh, man, I waited for the mop shot. Back in the day, it used to be a bit taboo to go down on a mop. What's another mop movie? In UHF, Stanley Spadowski, really? That's true. And of course, there's a mop at Christmas Carol. There's the Toxic Adventure. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:19:25 And the new one with Peter Dinklage that came out this year. Oh, yeah, that's right. I can see it. Directed by Macon Blair, the star of Blue Ruud. Oh, I like that movie. Yeah. So why not see The Toxic Adventure then? There's a direct line.
Starting point is 01:19:39 Anyways, so I honked at someone who for not rotting over a goose. And they made it to the other side? I hope they could laugh it off. I mean, the goose. Because I am, as soon as I realized what was going on, I started laughing. Yeah. And I, have you ever seen a, like, road rage incident? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Oh, yeah. I saw years and years ago two guys pull over and actually get into a real fight. And I was like, you got, neither of you ever been in the way before. You guys don't know to hold your hands. You're grabbing at each other's shirts. Oh, my God. You spat. It's fat.
Starting point is 01:20:16 I'm sorry. It is interesting when both of them get out because it's the way to win one of those fights is stay in your car. You win. And the only other guy can do is like, hit your car. But he's not a street fighter. He can't tear it apart. That's right. Or Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Or Michael Jackson. Yeah. I like on the news sometimes they do a story where a bunch of ducks have gone down a drain and they pull the ducks out of the drain. That's always nice. It used to be back in the day it was taboo to go down a drain. What's going on with you? This past week, I went to Salt Spring Island, where my in-laws live there. In-lobs.
Starting point is 01:20:58 And I'm in love with my in-laws. And it's a very nice island. And I fly over. I always fly. And the weather has been insane the last month. Yeah. We're in summertime. I know.
Starting point is 01:21:13 It jumped in a lake for crying out loud. Like, actually, like. So you took the little harbor air. Harbor Air. How many seats are in those little planes? Good question. There's a series of double seats and then there's a series of single. I think there's four single, four doubles, and then up by the pilot.
Starting point is 01:21:28 And you have to give them your weight. Yeah. And the weight of your luggage. Well, they get to guess your way. Yeah. And then look at your idea of you are not the size. If they're wrong, you ride for free. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:42 And in the air, you hit the big mallet and try and get it to the, top to ring the bell. The, uh, Carnie stuff. Yeah. Elbows up. Um, yeah, the, uh, uh, so yeah, like they're, they're very nice airline. They're very, uh, fun, you know, they're, the pilots are kooky.
Starting point is 01:22:02 And, uh, what do you mean? They're just like, mysterious and hooky. Yeah. I mean, yeah, the job doesn't discriminate against that. You think I could do a barrel oil? I was in a plane once where the guy was like, check this out. And he went like, like. sideways to look
Starting point is 01:22:18 so we could look at some buffalo or something I was like, this stinks. I know the other people on this plane like this. I hate this. This sucks.

Starting point is 01:24:48 Someone else mentioned me on the show. Probably. We talked about the movie Constantine. Yeah. Or like, Dick Clark was sort of known as a Constantine. Nice. Right up to the end.
Starting point is 01:25:02 So, you know, when he passed away. That's true. Three, two, one. He was blown up on New Year's Eve. Hey, if you guys are over six. 70 years old. I hope you enjoyed that.
Starting point is 01:25:15 The Dick Clark, young thing, I never understood because I only ever saw him as a man. And I was like, he looks like a normal man. Yeah. Like, they're like, he has an age. And I'm like, he looked like this when he was a teenager. Yeah, my kids are, I'll do that to me whenever I take about Paul Rudd. They're like, that's just a man. Being the kids, we just finished getting through all Dick Clark's rocking New Year's Eve from the beginning.
Starting point is 01:25:40 Yeah. Yeah, complete. This probably starting to the 50s, maybe. We finished Young Shelton, and then I was like, do you want to look at Paul Rudd? Do you want to look at Paul Rudd? Yeah. Do you want to look at him? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Of course I do. He looks good. Yeah. He doesn't age. Yeah, he's got a smoking bot. Just like Tom Cruise. Yeah, what was of the Tom Cruise Marathon? What was number one?
Starting point is 01:26:02 What was, let me go to my list because I have notes on every movie. What was the total number of movies you watched? It had to be like over 20, right? Hold on, guys. Well, he's made eight Mission Impossible, so probably over... Then only 12 others. Okay, so I'll start at the bottom and then I'll go to the top. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:22 And now we're where? Well, so there's 45. The first one was losing it, which was like a teen sex. So these are chronological order? No, this is in ranking order. So I'm going to start at 45 and then we're going to go to number one. But also was that the first one? No, the first one was...
Starting point is 01:26:40 Is he the outsiders? Was that his first? No. He had a small part in a movie called Endless Love. Did you watch that one? Of course I did. Yeah, it was his first on-screen role. On-screen roll, please edit that out.
Starting point is 01:26:53 I'll tell my in-logs. My in-longs. My in-longs? In-lops. He had a small part, and his part was he inspired the main character to burn down the house of the girl he was infatuated with. And that was he was only in the movie. And that was pre before they fixed his teeth.
Starting point is 01:27:10 So you can sort of divide Tom Cruise into different eras As I have in this list which we can post Yeah To the Facebook Give us the top three What are your top three? Top three? Yeah
Starting point is 01:27:21 And to the top And also let's talk with the eras Okay well for me Okay you guys might disagree My number one was World of Worlds Okay We might disagree And Magnolia
Starting point is 01:27:30 And then Color of Money Oh okay That was just playing at the park theater Really? Yeah Which is a sequel To the Hustla Yeah that's right
Starting point is 01:27:38 And I think They should make a sequel to it in modern day. Who could play the young Tom Cruise that Tom Cruise mentors? Sean Pan. He doesn't age. He doesn't age. Five-ish finkel.
Starting point is 01:27:57 Yeah. And Alf should come back. Absolutely. So the era is the first era of him bad teeth? Yeah. Are there other eras? I know that like
Starting point is 01:28:08 when he made Mission Impossible to and Vanilla Sky, that was sort of shoulder-length hair era. Yeah, and then he sort of got like lightly canceled for a bit, remember? Yeah,
Starting point is 01:28:17 for jumping on a couch. Yeah, and for like the nutty things he does. Yeah. So, getting mad at Matt Lauer. Exactly. And then they kind of... Sorry, was he in any movie
Starting point is 01:28:27 that was produced by Scientology? Like, the way that he never, like, I don't think they produced movies, did they just produce stars. Oh, okay. But he wasn't in that.
Starting point is 01:28:39 I had a... I feel like, like, look who's talking. That was a science, but not the sequels. Well, both the leads are, Kirsty and John Travolta. That's a good call. But I could never, when it came out,
Starting point is 01:28:55 no one believed to me because I was eight. Anyway. So anyways, I'm on the island. Having a coffee before, before I get into the plane. And in the coffee shop, they've got, uh, they've got like free newspapers and there's one that's called the it was like called the rambler or something like that
Starting point is 01:29:15 and it was conspiracy newspaper and like is it from like is it published on salt spring island i don't know it seemed like that was a lot of american news and not oh but it was you know one of the things was about the pyramid with the eye at the top of it and uh you know the secret deals between this country and that country and um you know how to keep your freedom and all these top 10 tips how give your freedom how to make a great lizard
Starting point is 01:29:45 people pie number one War of the worlds Yeah it It was funny Because usually the giveaway Things are just kind of like Here's what's going on
Starting point is 01:29:54 In the community Here's your arts preview Or whatever This is like this hard-hitting Conspiracy newspaper And there wasn't just like two there There was a whole stack of these things Well
Starting point is 01:30:03 They're not flying out the shelves Apparently Were they free? Yeah They were free What was in the crossword? No crossword. Just the target that you practice shooting your enemies with.
Starting point is 01:30:16 When you looked at the pile, did you look around to see if there was another guy in the corner looking at you with his fingers crossed like this? Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please. It's odd to see, I mean, that was the original place to put a conspiracy theory. Was in a self-published manifesto. Yeah, this. As opposed to, you know, the comment section of your podcast, yeah. Brent's such a good looking guy and hey guys Here are a few groups I think should be exterminated
Starting point is 01:30:44 Like if you agree It's not a conspiracy either Oh yeah sorry about that edit that out There's just really a brick wall today isn't it The only advertisement in the thing must be the Poked shoes That's their demographic
Starting point is 01:31:02 Yeah No it must have been the guy's wife because it was like she was a rakey A killer type of person. So that's the thing about these islands. They attract hippies, conspiracy guys, people who retired.
Starting point is 01:31:19 The Venn diagram of hippies and conspiracy guys. Yeah. Sort of a horseshoe theory, right? Like they go from different angles back to the same point. Yeah. The hippie and a... Yeah, you go so far hippie
Starting point is 01:31:31 that you become conspiracy hippie. Right. Yeah. I mean, it's all a big anti-VAC stew. another VAT Faced Yeah
Starting point is 01:31:41 So this I was looking at that And then Something just fell off the shelf That's true Did I knock that No you didn't touch it Don't worry about it
Starting point is 01:31:53 That was That's gonna Yeah I've got some It was a Power adapters Yeah It was Amazon choice
Starting point is 01:31:59 Dave UUSBC Wall adapter Yeah In case you're wondering So I have that and then you go and you check in the airplane they give you a laminated card and they're like
Starting point is 01:32:13 oh yeah and then they take it for yeah like you have to be there 15 minutes before boarding so we're walking around and then i decided this is not a good decision by me but i was like i'm just going to go back there and use the bathroom and uh i was like i'll see you down at the plane and then uh as i'm walking back sally saying he's like hurry up hurry up like uh go go go so i and i is it because that cup of coffee you had? Yeah. It went right through me. And I was discombobulated, so I walked onto this, the wrong, uh, pier.
Starting point is 01:32:44 And, uh, you could see these people, they were having a conversation. They were just looking at me. What a fool this guy is. He's like, you can't go down. Here's a private pier. Um, so then I had to get directions to the right pier. And, uh, oh, the lady was so pissed off when I got there with my card. She, she was like, no running.
Starting point is 01:33:02 And I was like, uh, don't worry. No running. No running on the pier. Yeah. You're not a rule? Yeah, I guess. I see that on the plane, but, uh, yeah. No horseplay, no roughhousing.
Starting point is 01:33:14 No hamburger, no, uh, milkshake cup. Yeah. Um, yeah, so it, uh, and this is not the first time I've been late for one of these, uh, flights. And, well, they, they, they let you know that they do not like what you've done. Like, it's not, you know, if you go to Eric Kennedy, you say, Mr. Play, they don't care. They don't care. I have a vested interest in the plane.
Starting point is 01:33:34 You're sitting behind the pilot the whole time and he's swearing at you. Late ass bitch. You've got to sit up front with me. That's what happened. That's your punishment. I had to sit up front because that was the only one. There's no bathroom on those little planes, right? No.
Starting point is 01:33:47 What happens if you have to go to the bathroom? You are wetting yourself. Okay. See, that's why he went. But there's only a 20-minute flight. Yeah, I should have been able to hold it. I don't know why I thought I could do both, but are you, do you do this stuff a lot? Does Sally always.
Starting point is 01:34:03 mad at you? Yeah, we have kind of a Fred and Wilma situation. Fred's always like No, I can make it. I'm not which one you think. I just have to prehistoricly pee over here. It's a living. It's a living.
Starting point is 01:34:19 Which this turns into future generations oil. Well, this caveman piss. I love that episode. From the Archie Comics, guys. Yeah, the Archie Comics version. The fact that the Flintstones were on in prime time. It's always been a head scratcher to me.
Starting point is 01:34:36 I don't know why. I mean, people were watching by candlelight. It's true. Yeah, the TV took so much power. They had to turn everything else off. I mean, in color, yeah. But like what,
Starting point is 01:34:50 you know, we watched reruns of it. The fact that it was, yeah, there's like seven days a week of programming they need to fill. So that's one of the most successful shows. It lasted for death. It was the young Sheldon of its day. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:35:06 And there was a spinoff, right? Flintstone kids. Oh, Jetsons, maybe. Jetsons. Yeah. Well, there was a crossover, Jetsons Flintstones. But there is it the same? Was there both Hannah Berber?
Starting point is 01:35:16 Yeah, Hannah Berberas. What are the other ones? Wacky Racers was Flintstone in that? No, but I know what you're talking about. Yeah, that was all the other Hannah Barberra. They had a big spinoff vitamin brand. It did. Did you ever take Flintstone's vitamins?
Starting point is 01:35:30 I think that's the cultural touch point for the, the Flintstones. Because the vitamins are still around. I think they probably made them one time in the 60s and try to get rid of them. They're now in gummy form. Okay. Well,
Starting point is 01:35:41 I stand corrected. And they're one of the few kids vitamins that have iron. Okay. Really? And do you know, can you recall the slogan or the catchphrase or whatever you want to say? The jingle.
Starting point is 01:35:53 The jingle, yeah. Flintstone vitamins, suck your death. Back in the day, that was a controversial commercial. watch. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:04 Now you'd see 10 million? One million strong and growing? One million strong and growing. We are Flintstone. One million strong. I'm growing. Was that the song?
Starting point is 01:36:16 Yeah. I thought it was yabadabadoo. No, that's the theme song. Flintstone's vitamins are good to chew. Really? You just made that up right now. I know you did.
Starting point is 01:36:28 Hey, you be the judge. Was Dave correct or was Brent correct? answer in the comments and vote with your scene points right now. Dial 1,900, 842, 74, 26. Yeah. If you agree with Brent. And one, dial four. If you agree with Dave.

Starting point is 01:36:57 as somebody who made up a jingle. You are a liar. You are the scum of the earth. Yeah. Oh. Oh, you've made your bad name. Do you guys want to move on to some overheards? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:39:49 Yeah. Last, so yesterday, last night I was on a call with customer service with Square, the point of sale. Because the program was crashing. And I was talking to the guy on the phone. And I could just hear these, he's like dogs barking in the backgrounds, like viciously barking while he's trying to gently guide me through deleting and reopening an app. And then while there was a big pause, I was just like, are those your dogs? He said, no. I was like, they sound really big.
Starting point is 01:40:25 And he said, they are. I was like, well, where are they then? He's like, they're outside the building. It's like, so there's someone else's dog that lives at the building? He said, no. And I said, well, where are they from? He's like, they're just dogs that live at the building and people have to feed them to get out. So I said
Starting point is 01:40:44 So they're feral dogs That keep you captain He's like Is there anything else I can help you with tonight? I thought Wow You gotta feed them to get out of the building It was I was
Starting point is 01:40:57 I'm pretty sure it was South America Because I could tell by the accent Of the dogs Wow El bark The I don't know if I've ever seen a dog fight I've seen a lot of screwing around
Starting point is 01:41:10 In a dog park Before that like detail about feeding them to get out, I thought it was going to be that this guy is in prison. No, these are just the dogs that keep us in prison. That's the punishment. They have to be tech support for square point of sale. I mean, I would be. I think that there is prison labor that does that kind of thing.
Starting point is 01:41:30 There are a lot of call centers aren't in prison. And then the other one. That would be probably a good job in prison because you get to practice using a phone. Yeah, would you lose all the context for while you're in, uh, while you're in, uh, well, Well, like, oh, my God. You have to learn about deleting an app. Like, oh, my God. Okay.
Starting point is 01:41:48 This is cool. Yeah. Yeah, applicable skills to the outside world. And plus fun, phone. Phone time. Yeah, phone time is fun. Screen time. And then yesterday morning, because I was trying to listen.
Starting point is 01:42:00 So this was last night. This was yesterday morning. I was at the BC liquor store picking up liquor. And you go in the back where all the liquor guys are. And I could hear them. They're called wino. Wino. A lot open mics back there.
Starting point is 01:42:17 And so they were all kind of josh in. These are all employees? Employees of BC liquor. And this one guy I'd never seen before, he seemed a bit more jocular than the others. And he was asking them, hey, you guys seen Terry today? And they're like, oh, yeah, was he crying again?
Starting point is 01:42:32 He's like, not in the building at least. We hate Terry, don't we? Terry's this guy who's always crying. We've got to feed him so you can get up. And then I'll wait. I have one more. Okay. I'll come back around.
Starting point is 01:42:46 Dave, do you have an owner heard? Yeah, well, I mentioned earlier that this involves an electric scooter. Yes. So this past Sunday was the Vancouver Marathon. Bemo.
Starting point is 01:42:56 Bemo. Vancouver Marathon and half marathon. And the route goes down Camby past this area. Yeah. And it must start very early because I was walking my dogs at like, 10 or 11. And I kept seeing people who had finished the marathon with, like, their bib on and, like, a medal. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:18 Everybody gets a medal. I know. Don't get me started on. This Gen Z, you guys. Generation of marathon runners. And there was a guy. There was, like, it looked like a guy in his girlfriend. And the guy had run the marathon.
Starting point is 01:43:34 He was wearing shorts and a bib. And his girlfriend was just, had must have just been watching it. or she ran it in street clothes. But they were just riding down the street on two electric scooters. Okay. And then the guy stopped his in the middle of an intersection and got off and just started dry heaving. Oh, no. And meanwhile, his girlfriend's just standing there.
Starting point is 01:44:02 And I'm, she's looking at me like, don't put this on your fucking podcast. She was a fan. Yeah. Yeah. One of my favorite... Just dry heaving. Not getting anywhere, though. I don't know if you want to.
Starting point is 01:44:22 Yeah, I mean, sometimes you just got to get that heave at all those bananas you were eating and running a marathon. Have you ever run a marathon before? No. Have you? Yeah, I've done the BMO a couple times. The fall or the half? The half. I don't think I could do the full.
Starting point is 01:44:37 My pops did dozens of them. Whole marathons? Yeah. Your in-lob? No, my bio-fobber. Okay. Yeah. My father.
Starting point is 01:44:48 My father ran a marathon. If one of my favorite genres of clips are people who celebrate before they cross the finish line and then somebody slips right past them. It's very. One of my favorite is people who are finishing a marathon and their legs are so wobbly. Yeah, and they're shitting themselves. I love it. Just standing in the corner with my fingers crossed. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Starting point is 01:45:16 You want to hear that fart noise that precedes it? I do. I guess I'm sure there's people that gamble on marathon races. Oh, yeah. Well, someone just broke the world record. The first sub two hour. Can you imagine doing that or two hours? I can't even watch eight episodes of Young Shelves.
Starting point is 01:45:36 say little Sheldon. My overheard is just happened right before the podcast. I was sitting in the plaza, not the one that's still under, you know, operation or whatever. Under construction.
Starting point is 01:45:52 Yep, that's the word. Not operation? Construction. Yeah. Everyday workmen come and try to remove a funny bone from a guy with a light up nose. And it was a mom and a kid and maybe like a friend of the kid.
Starting point is 01:46:08 And there was a lottery. His role was unclear. Yeah, yeah. Well, we were casting just a wide net. It was a friend. We're just casting, you know,
Starting point is 01:46:17 generic friend. And there was a lottery ticket on the ground. And the young girl went, oh my God, it's just like in a movie. And like got nothing from her mom or friend. You know, like in a movie.
Starting point is 01:46:30 What? You know, pick up a lottery ticket. It's worth a million dollars. And the mom just said, Huh. And then she picked up the lottery ticket and it wasn't a winner. And she just threw it back on the ground.
Starting point is 01:46:41 Just like in a movie. Maybe somebody else would be confused by this. Oh, boy, I really needed that. But how many movies did that happen? I mean, only when I'm thinking of it doesn't happen. I'm thinking of that one where Nicholas Cage. It could happen to you? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where he just wins the lottery, but doesn't find a ticket. Yeah. I'm still trying to find my hard drive that has all my crypto on it And remember that guy He like trying to make a deal of like upending the whole dump And the city was like, yeah, we're not interested I think that guy was a liar
Starting point is 01:47:17 Oh, you think he didn't have it at all I don't think he had it at all I think he was just trying to get into that dump for other reasons And that was the best story could come up with Because he knew there's treasure berries there Yeah Don't look what I'm putting in the dump Don't look at this guy's
Starting point is 01:47:35 This human-sized carpet that I've got rolled out Just a big hard drive No Bitcoin on it This is the rolled-up carpet I'm going to use To bring home the hard drive And what makes him think that spending time In a dump would make that thing operational anymore Yeah, great point
Starting point is 01:47:53 Like surely it would be covered with trash Bring into the genius store It's just a door Bar Plank's a down on their perfectly white table. Yeah, this has $500 million on it. I don't know if you can...
Starting point is 01:48:06 Can you... I don't have an appointment. But you think, yeah, you think he was a crock of shit. I think he was a liar. You believe him? Well, no, I never thought about it. Think about it now. What do you think?
Starting point is 01:48:22 Boy, this sounds like something I read about it in a certain salt spring island. Rambler or something. If you believe the hard drive is real, call in one, nine, What was it? 9.5, 6. 4, 5.5. And if you think it's fake, dial 4. Now, you had another over her. I had another one. And the only one I want to share this is because I have video of it.
Starting point is 01:48:45 Nice. Proof. I have proof. This was a couple weeks ago. Pitzer it didn't happen. So I was just... Tits or get the fuck up. Grass ass and... No, gas, grass grass.
Starting point is 01:48:59 It's over her on there. So you might need to take... I remember the guy that came up with that was on Twitter and that was part of his bio was made up a Rambay thing. Okay. This is a very quick video. Okay. This is me on my bike and I do record front and rear cameras in case anything happens. So.
Starting point is 01:49:20 The rear camera is pointing up your butt. Exactly. Just in case anything happens. So what you'll see here, it happens pretty quick and we all have headphones on so you won't be able to. Yeah, we'll take them off This is downtown And so from the left Downtown Abbey
Starting point is 01:49:39 Yeah You'll see There's a chubby little boy Who appears over here And he says something to me Oh It's not Where's the audio?
Starting point is 01:49:49 Okay Okay Is that tied to Bluetooth? Sounds like we're gonna get it What do you say? You're riding a car? Yes He says hi
Starting point is 01:50:04 You're riding a car? And as far as I could see, the chubby little boy was by himself. He seemed so happy about it, though. He got away from the folks and now he's having a fun time downtown. It's kind of a blank check meets a Ferris Bueller Day Off kind of thing. Yeah, he's a kid all right. Yeah. I actually think he's pretty felt.
Starting point is 01:50:28 And he's, uh, you didn't mention that he's got spectacles. Yeah, he had glasses. He had a Canucks jersey on. And he seemed so happy. And you can't see because he's off camera, but he seemed like he was waiting for something for me, like some sort of reaction.

Starting point is 02:01:10 Yeah. Through the day, we chase the dogs. In the night, the dogs chase us. Ah, this delicate dance we have with our canine compatriots. What was it? The guy was talking about having. sex to his mother? Is that what do you say? No, his mom,

But he was working as security guard. So he probably shouldn't be on the phone with his mom during his shift. Yeah. He's supposed to be tapping all those circles around the building with his phone.
Starting point is 02:01:47 Yeah. Which, that's a thing everyone knows, right? I didn't know that it was on a phone. I thought it was just some device that they have. It's, uh, I think security guards, due to when they do their round? Yeah, they have to prove it now that they had, they tapped the circle to on the wall so that the,
Starting point is 02:02:03 sure. I'd run around at the beginning of the shift and tap them all and then go to sleep. I had jobs where I had to like, like, you know, fill out a piece of paper that was in a different room. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:15 Not anymore. It's all digital these days. The art of security. I guess I could have forged it, though. I could have put fake times in. Yeah. Yeah. Um, looking back.
Starting point is 02:02:27 2020. Here we go. Hey, Dave, Graham, Impossible guest. Greetings from Northern New York on the south bank of the St. Lawrence River. I was in a liquor store with my brother and mother, and a fellow comes in,

Starting point is 02:03:10 That's could have been monkeys. Yeah. Up state New York. He always said he was on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. So he was standing out on the river. It sounded like a beautiful day. It was beautiful birds. I mean, they sounded beautiful.
Starting point is 02:03:23 That's the theater of the mind. They could have been really ugly birds. Don't do birds fighting for all you know. That's why you guys don't do those video calls anymore. Yeah, and we don't, ugly month is over. It's only handsome month here, so you know those were beautiful birds. Brand, you're a lot handsomer than I remember. Yeah, that's true.

Starting point is 02:04:19 Yes. Another pause. Mommy, yes. I was not. not asking for Mother's Day. I know this stretches the definition of an overheard, but I thought you would enjoy speculating with me.
