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?
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
Right.
Planning.
Urban.
God, I can't even remember it.
Yeah.
In 2020, graduated class of 2020.
Oh, COVID.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
Constant craving?
Constantly craving.
Yeah.
For dairy.
Me too, man.
I'm thinking about it right now.
Milkshakes.
Just a glass of milk.
What do you do?
Top ten.
Top ten milkshakes.
Milk things.
Okay.
Top ten dairy products.
Let's all, okay.
Ice cream, obviously.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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?
Well, I mean, I'm telling people that like plan their flights.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
Mark, always be if you plan on understanding.
Yeah, yeah, because you do not want to be home for this episode.
Yeah.
Because your wife is going to find out.
We're revealing all the secrets you've been emailing us for the past 20 years.
Yeah, we do get a lot of secrets.
Well, we'll do that episode, but it's just all listener secrets.
Oh, yeah.
We need a bonus episode.
And so write in your secrets.
And we promise to credit you in full.
Yeah.
Well, it'll be like post secret.
Yeah.
That postcard thing.
And we'll see their email address.
Yeah, we'll see.
We'll know who you are.
Go into those drafts and hit send on that butthole pick.
you guys have been waiting.
No thanks.
Yeah, 52 weeks and we'll be...
One week for every card.
I'm going to make Graham pick up right now.
Come on, don't just say it.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was the last live show we've done.
Really?
Really?
2022 maybe?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, wow.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
At an open mic
I mean
Outside of just like
The
Sort of the
The hate speech
Yeah
It's sort of like
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,
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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...
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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...
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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...
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
A lot of them were drawings.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
They had one photo.
Aristotle,
Pythagoras was on there.
Oh, sure.
So, I mean,
Cahue.
Yeah, Cahue,
the younger Moby, yeah.
And,
yeah,
Moby,
when I worked at a book warehouse,
he had a recipe,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
Peresilton.
Yeah, that's true.
Original.
All originals.
Yeah.
My wife goes to concerts without me.
Yeah.
That's her gift to you.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
Yeah.
He had those catchphrases.
I'm baby soprano.
Oh, I'm young soprano.
That's how he cries.
Oh.
Mama.
Oh.
Not the mom
Oh
I mean
Tony wear like a dinosaur costume
Yeah
Ay ay ay I wish we could see you
In your own 22 episode
Adventure baby soprano
Oh well we can try it out
We'll try it out for a season
And it'll get canceled
And fresh off the boat
The mother is like a
She makes the kids like do extra work and stuff
Like she's this is a family sitcom
Yeah
Okay
There's a Chinese American
Taiwanese American.
Okay.
Living in Florida in the 90s.
And they,
but then by the end,
the mother is just like,
so mean to everyone,
so,
um,
like,
unlikable.
Yeah.
Flanderized is what she got all that term.
I think she's more of,
um,
jerk ass Homer.
Yeah,
that's true.
He did become more,
became a lot dumber,
but he also did kind of,
yeah,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
that was actually
Wisconsin
Oh wow it was so good
Thanks a lot
Thank you
And people
What about Graham's show
Can maybe anyone
Yeah we've had a lot of fun
So yeah you can stream it online
And we learned how to
Adjust the cameras this year
So it's Graham's face
It's not going to be a solid white mass
We'll see about that
Have you gone in for screen test
Yeah and you know what
I like that other guy
chances.
I'm down to the final two.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But he's got an agent.
I just got myself an audition.
It's me or Glenn Powell.
Hmm, who are they going to choose?
Come on.
Get real.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can watch it online.
We've got a stream.
You can chat with us.
And so find it.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
Oh,
yeah.
The movie at the park theater.
Uh,
and your ad played before,
before the trailers ran.
Yeah.
Yeah.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Heathcliff.
Yeah.
Heathcliff.
A cat.
Is his name Uncle something?
Oh.
Uncle, uncle, possibly.
Cody Rhodes is guile.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Yeah, it's a sci-fi.
It's a good guy that goes
into the multiverse.
You know what they should do as a show?
Alf, they should reboot Alf.
Correct.
What they should do is a show, Alf.
Well, they did it.
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.
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.
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
Yeah
Marito did it too
Oh yeah
Was his hot take
It would have been
Something wild
Can't even
Think
Who couldn't even get
Inside that mind
Probably Alf
He's an Alf guy
Yeah
I've talked to him
Reboot Alf
Yeah
100% agree
Well here's
Here's the thing
It's a puppet
Right
So I mean
There's no obvious
Signs
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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...
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
The plane behind him was hawking their horn.
There's Buffalo.
He was Buffalo. Leave me alone.
Hey, by the way, you know who owned the most
Buffalo in the world?
He just died, Ted Turner.
He was at the show last year, too.
Oh, no, he was there overnight.
Yeah.
He invented the format, so.
the uh so yeah this for the first time ever i sat at the first row like right by the where the captain was
oh so you could braid his hair yeah and you didn't have enough but i was like don't worry small braid
it'll put like those three a red a yellow and a green bead on it um but sitting up that close
that was fucking horrible yeah every bump every little thing you're
Soaring into the air in your seat.
And it's, uh, I was like, I don't usually get sick like air sickness, but I feel like I was
right on the bubble.
Was that yesterday or the one the way over?
That was yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
No, the way over, no problem.
Sitting in the back row, having a blast.
Did your in-lobs live over on Salt Spring Island or they, it was just a vacation?
Okay.
They live there?
Did you say in-lobs?
Yeah, isn't that what we were calling them?
We were doing in-lobs.
In-loves.
In-laws, yes.
But I do like that
We might just keep changing
In logs.
In logs, yeah.
But why do I
Freakian?
Why do I have to be
the like
pronunciation pulley?
Hey, have fun transcribing this,
nerds.
Isn't there a guy who
No, he transcribed
or he wrote episode
descriptions of every episode or something like that?
Oh no, I think it's like
someone, there's like an AI data.
Yeah, now it just does it automatically
doesn't it?
Oh.
We could pull up one of your episodes, any episode, pick one.
We could find the transcript instantly.
Brent Constantine, first appearance.
Last year, the only other appearance.
Let me get there.
Okay, just vamp for time.
I have it here.
Oh.
What do we want to say?
Do you want to just read last year's episode?
Yeah, please.
But I'll be Dave and you be Brent.
Oh, these are all the times where the word Constantine came up.
Okay, 895, that was Brent Constantine.
Is that all a transcript?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
And it came up more than once?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
that you become conspiracy hippie.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean,
it's all a big anti-VAC stew.
another VAT
Faced
Yeah
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
That was
That's gonna
Yeah
I've got some
It was a
Power adapters
Yeah
It was Amazon choice
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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?
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,
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.
The jingle,
yeah.
Flintstone vitamins,
suck your death.
Back in the day,
that was a controversial commercial.
watch.
Yeah.
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?
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.
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.
And if you think Graham should die,
hit five.
According to the AI overview,
10 million strong and growing.
Okay.
All right.
Mine wasn't real?
No, I think you've just outed yourself
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.

And you know what?
If you listeners hear anything funny or see anything funny or I'll go as far as saying if you had a really boring dream, you can send it into SBY at maximum fun.org.
We like to start with the guest, Brent.
Do you have an overheard?
Yeah, of course.
You have a few I hear.
I have a few, which is allowed, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, because you're, I mean, you must be hearing a ton of shit.
I hear so much stuff.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My pops did dozens of them.
Whole marathons?
Yeah.
Your in-lob?
No, my bio-fobber.
Okay.
Yeah.
My father.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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...
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
Do you think that he had friends that were just out of sight that were like,
go do it,
tell him he's in a car.
You lost the fantasy football.
So you have to go do it.
This is our open mic as kids.
You got to talk to a guy on a bike.
Do people ever often say things to you when you're on your?
bike or is this like a
just when geese are in front of me
yeah watch out for those
uh sometimes people be quite mad
I guess or they're they're yelling at you
um some times people will talk to you
I have this like vest that I wear
at night that lights up so I don't get hit
yeah and people love commenting on that
like this is hilarious more like
what is it
what is that
um are you
Do you wear a helmet?
Of course.
Gotta.
Of course.
I have front and rear cameras.
I have two lights.
I have my lights.
I have lights on my spokes as well.
I want to be as safe as possible.
The helmets now are so much better than the helmet.
It's like just look wise.
Yeah.
Because they have old bicycle helmets.
It's kind of like a foam thing that sat on the top of your head.
And I remember riding my bike and being told that you have to start wearing this to ride the bike.
Just stop riding me like.
Yeah, a ton of bikes.
Sidewalk only, sorry, suckers.
Okay, can you sign me up for driving lessons?
Me and bikes are part of way.
What was the driving age?
14.
16.
14 learners.
Learners.
Yeah, that's in BC learners was 16.
And it's insane because that's only two years away from 12.
A young Sheldon yourself behind the wheel.
Did you get your learners at 14 in Calgary?
Yeah, me too.
In Edmonton.
but you had to have somebody with a license in the car.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, you know, any, there's tons of people at school that have a fake license.
You can drive around with them.
Did you have your own car at 16?
No.
Okay.
Drove the family minivan was, uh, was my wheels.
What about you?
Do you have a car?
Oh, I had several cars.
I had a lot of stepdad.
So they would always have a car on hand.
They could sell me at full price on the blue book price.
Uh, and the,
those cars, one of them the brakes
didn't work. Sure. I had to
the brake fluid line
had a leak in it so I had to travel
around with like an economy sized
box of brake fluid
so every time I stopped refill it.
Every time I stopped
if I was like my lucky stuff.
Sort of a
Grub-Goldberg machine from inside
the car to get to the
I had another one
where the headlights only worked. You had
go under the hood and like physically attach a wire to the battery.
Okay.
Yeah.
Um, what,
what brand of car are we looking at?
That one, well, that, the, that one was like a LeBaron, the brake one.
And then I had a Mercury Sable and that one died because I,
Sable's a big car, right?
It was a, it was a modern era one.
Okay.
The LeBaronin was a bit boxier.
And then I had a Bronco two that accidentally, like accidentally gone a big car crash.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What's the difference
between a Bronco 2 and a Bronco 1?
Well, if you're a fan of the original,
a lot of the cast didn't return.
I rank it about the middle in Tom Cruise's.
Hey, edit that out, please.
That will edit up.
Yeah.
Wait, did you say all three of the top ones,
or did you just say War of the Worlds and then we moved on?
No, I remember.
I remember Magnolia.
Yeah, that's right.
And the third one was the color of money.
Yeah, that's right.
Nice.
Okay.
Yeah.
Do you agree?
I haven't seen.
I've only seen Magnolia.
of those three.
Mm-hmm.
And so it's my favorite of them.
I like what is,
I don't remember the actual name of it,
but lived I repeat.
Oh yeah,
Edge of Tomorrow.
Edge of Tomorrow.
Yeah,
that's a really,
terrible name for a movie.
It was really good.
It was great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like that and I like a lot of the mission of possible.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
They are fun.
Yeah, a lot of them are good.
You know,
I mean,
separate the art from the artist, right?
Yeah,
that's the most important thing to do.
I hate the movies.
Love is pulling.
We definitely want you to do that when you go see Graham's show.
Separate the...
Absolutely.
The one...
I'm trying to think of the one Tom Cruise movie that...
Oh, yeah.
Where's Born on the Fourth of July in this list?
That was a real Oscar run.
Yeah, I didn't care for that one too much.
It was overly Oscar.
It was a bit like overwrought.
Yeah.
But you know what?
He was going for something.
Yeah.
And he got it.
Did you watch...
As part of this, did you watch...
Did you watch Tropic Thunder with his...
Yes, I watched...
I even watched Austin Powers 3,
which he has a cameo in the beginning
when he plays the movie version of...
Austin Powers.
Thank you.
Yeah.
With Danny DeVito as Professor Evil.
Mini...
No, Mini Me.
Oh, who's Professor Evil?
Who is...
Kevin Spacey.
Oh, this movie has stood the testimony.
I can't watch...
Now I can't watch a Kevin Spacey film
without just...
Oh, really?
The important message.
Separate the art from the artist.
That's right.
That's right.
What was his art?
What are his big movies?
Orange is the new black?
No, sorry.
That was the other House of Cards.
House of Cards.
Not a movie.
He was in American Beauty.
Yeah.
He was in...
The usual suspects.
He was in seven.
He's in seven.
You gotta see K-Pax.
You got to see Pay It Forward.
Is there?
No, a man without a...
face is Mel Gibson.
Pay it forward.
I think he had,
he was without a face.
He was just the voice?
Yeah.
At like a drive-in or drive-thru?
Yeah.
Hey, you know what?
I want to pay for the guy.
Does he get a job at a drive-thru an American beauty?
He does.
Yeah, yeah.
But why can't I remember any of his other?
Was he in a comedy at any point?
I guess K-Pax was probably a comedy.
Not to him.
He was in, I watched recently, or I was on TV.
It was the first movie I saw a nudity in.
Oh.
And it was on.
cable until I recorded it so I can see that nudity again.
He is like the heavy, the bad guy in
See No Evil, Hear No Evil?
Okay.
With Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.
Oh, like the actual that.
I loved that movie.
Yeah.
And they're full nude the whole time.
It was a different time.
It was a different time.
You couldn't make that movie today, I'll tell you.
The stars are dead.
Or canceled.
Now, we also have overheard sent into us by people
all over the world.
Long app.
Yeah, we're getting down to it.
I was going to say,
this is a two-part episode.
If you want to send one in,
you can send in to SBY at maximum fund.org.
This first one comes from Travis W.
In Providence, Rhode Island.
I was on a train from the Denver airport to downtown.
Two good old boys with southern accents
were in the seat in front of me.
One said to the other,
yeah, she's the craziest bitch I ever dated.
I swear to God.
She stole on my snake.
That was on a train?
Yeah, that was some good old boys on the train
Guy that lost his snakes
In the divorce
I got the legs
She got the snakes
They were lizards when we were together
But I now have these scrumptious lizard legs
And I travel by train
Not to break
I'm gonna be opening a lizard leg restaurant
You guys got any open
Mike's coming up.
I'm single.
Please, well, on this stage, everybody, a snake.
This next one comes from Michael in Michigan, two kids on the playground talking about their enemies.
Yeah, my uncle's nemesis is burgers.
He can't cook the perfect burger.
My uncle.
Fuck you, nephew.
I can't cook the perfect burger.
All right, let's play.
Do you want to be Howard Stern or do you want to be Power Ranger?
No, let's talk about my uncle's shortcomings.
You just can't grill.
You got one of those grill uncles.
What if he was, though, and saying like, I'm getting close.
You can't make that perfect burger.
It does feel like.
Seems like an uncle thing to try it.
Yeah.
I'm trying to smash it in different ways.
It could be a good bodega burger.
No, wait.
That burgers are a bogega?
Doesn't matter.
Right in.
This last one comes for.
Jessica M.
I had a dream last night.
This is a boring dream.
That my local H&M
moved their kids' clothes
from upstairs to downstairs.
Okay.
And they replaced the clothes area
with a built-in bookcase
and a handful of books.
That is a boring dream.
That is a phenomenally boring dream.
I like local H&M.
Yeah.
Like there's one on every corner.
Where's my local H&M?
Probably a mall downtown.
Probably Pacific Center.
Yeah.
Or Metro Town.
Oh, yeah.
Go to go to Metro Town.
Is there one in Richmond Center?
There should be.
Yeah.
My mall of choice if I
If I'm taking the train

Hey, Dave Graham
Inns possible guests
This is Victor
calling in from Delaware
And I was walking through
My city's downtown area
Just now
And there was a security guard
That I walked by
And you're on Bluetooth's phone
And I hear him go
Like I told you mom
I'm not just out of here
chasing tail
I'm playing at games
And we're
Comptuette with your mom
Anyway
No freaking way
Off I go
Your mom just wants you to meet somebody.
Yeah. That was definitely a call coming from prison based on the quality.
Anyway, the dogs are starting to park.
I got to get back to my call center.
I am chasing tail.
Dog tail.
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,
I said, I'm not chasing tail. I'm not chasing tail.
Yeah, so his mom's like, you're just out there chasing tail.
He's like, I'm not.
He's playing games.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
and he says,
Mur.
And his wife says,
What?
And he goes,
well,
still got some cheese cards in my pocket.
Zoo,
he was a,
it must have come over from Quebec.
Yeah.
And you want them to be a little warm when you eat them.
You know, you don't want them to be right out of the fridge.
Do you think he added those bird noises in post?
I mean, that's the difference between sending a voice memo and calling our number.
Hey, Dave, Graham, impossible guest.
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.
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.
And I, you know what?
I'm rediscovering it myself.
Thanks a lot, guys.
Hey.
And here's your final phone call.
Hi, Graham and Dave and probable guest.
This is Jennifer from Virginia, calling with an overheard of the kid variety.
For context, it is currently a couple days before Mother's Day.
I was walking to the park with my family after picking the kids up from daycare.
My five-year-old son is walking a few steps behind me.
My son yells, Mommy, yes.
Do you like chicken?
Um, yes.
And we keep walking.
Then again, mommy, yes.
Do you like purple?
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.
What in the heck is going to happen
to me on Mother's Day? Okay,
off I go. You're going to meet Grimmis.
And he's going to give you chicken
McNuggets. You're going to
eat an undercooked chicken
turn for Belinda.
Mother's Day is coming up,
so you've got to get to those open mics.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do your Mother's Day material
before it's up. As we were
Getting this, as I was playing that, I got an email from Netflix telling me that the roast of Kevin Hart will be happening on Mother's Day at 5 p.m.
We know you're worried about it.
It is happening.
Yeah.
So, you know, just go on living at least one more day.
All I have going for me of these daily Netflix updates about the Kevin Hart roast.
Just somebody yelling that at a guy who's out on the ledge of a building.
Oh, wait, Kevin Hart's spread with him.
We're doing Kevin Hart roast.
They're going to make short jokes.
Yeah, they're going to make short jokes.
He's got kind of a high-pitched voice.
They're going to make fun of that.
Yeah, he's very rich.
Jamongy.
He was in Jamongy.
He was in Jumagi.
He made fun of his friendship with the Rock.
Yeah, exactly.
Make fun of his movies that no one sees.
But he makes 10 of a year.
And he also made a documentary about himself.
This sounds like a roast right now, guys.
Yeah, we are a warm-up act for the roast.
We just let people know what a roast looks like.
Here's what's off limits.
Short jokes.
Yeah, you know what?
Oh, to be a fly on the wall of those, that writer's room for the roast.
You know what I mean?
Well, thank you again, Brent, for being our guest.
Yeah.
You're looking at the screen or the time?
I was looking at the time because how long are your episodes usually?
Three or four hours.
Oh, okay.
This is a short one.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Thank you very much for being our guest.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you, all you out there, listeners.
If you live in Vancouver, stop by the 24-hour stand-up marathon.
Can you get a bundle of 75-minute chunks?
Or do you...
Oh, what do you mean, sir?
Well, like, if you go to see him, you buy a ticket for a 75-minute chunk.
Yeah, and you could also get a day pass.
Oh, okay.
Do you get a season's pass and come every weekend?
You can come every weekend, and Graham's forced to continue to do it.
Yeah, the roast.

and hopefully they put it on during the rows.

Chat jokes.
