Hi, he's Dave Shumka. And he's Graham Clark. And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself. Woo! Hello, everybody, and welcome to episode number 951 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark. And with me, as always, this is a man who just crumpled up last month's calendar, threw it in the trash, and he's ready for a whole new month, Mr. Dave Shumka.

Yeah, don't you dare close your eyes. What's it, what's it going on in June? What's going on in June? Oh, last week of school. or last month of school. And, uh, no, dad's, dads, dads and grads. Dads and grads. Um, and then, uh, hmm.

Uh, Brad's. Oh, Brad's. So we're going to sell. Oh, Brad Pitt and Brad, uh, Brad, I was going to say Bradley Dam's Guard, but this guy I just used to know. I was going to say Brad Tree Living, the recently fired GM of the Toronto Maple Leaf. Well, I guess Brad Pitt is the only fit was Brad. Uh, Brad.

had was one of the sons on home improvement, who I consider, the sons of anarchy. They should have called that show Sons of Arr, er-nerky. Anyway, we're, we're having fun. And our guest today here, first-time guest of the podcast, is a very funny comedian.

You can listen to his album, Hot and Ready, on the Internet. It's David or Dave McLean. We never sell of it. It was Dave or David. I have no preference. Okay. Pick who one, though.

I'll go with Dave. What's the time? On your album, it is Dave? It is, it's Dave. I actually have a joke on the album about Dave versus David and how I say I'm Dave, but I am more truly a Dave. You do give off David. Yeah, yeah. I have that sort of like sad little man and energy that I think is more David than Dave.

Dave is a fun guy. Dave is, uh, yeah, look at him. I know, I'm looking in the mirror at who I could have been. And it's really disappointing to me. It breaks my heart. I'm the party animal. Should we get to know us? Yeah.

Your album is called Hot and Ready. Okay. So there's, I'm assuming a Little Caesar's. You are correct. Is there a Little Caesar's bit on the album? So in, so on our Discord,

feel free to join our Discord listeners. There's a, you can just click on the episode description. There's a... You see something on a bumper. Please post it in the Discord. That's the spot. Yeah.

And there was some debate because we were talking recently about pizza pizza. Yes. So Domino's, not Domino's. Little Caesars, in their commercials, there's a little guy. I want to say... John Caesar. I want to say Augustus. Caesar comes out and he goes, pizza, pizza.

And so when we talk... about the pizza restaurant, pizza pizza, which is a separate restaurant, a lot of our American listeners just assume we're talking about Little Caesars and we just call it Pizza Pizza pizza, the way that my mom calls Dairy Queen Brazier Burger. Well, that's all right because my grandpa used to call Swiss LA Chicken Charlie's, so. Yeah, exactly. Well, but there is, in Canada, little Cesar. commercials, we still have Little Caesar who comes out and he says, hot and ready.

Yeah. He also says pizza pizza, though. In America, he does, but I don't think he can in the Canadian commercials. Back in the day he did, though, for sure, because I have a memory of pizza pizza. Oh, totally. And I actually remember when I moved to, because I lived in Ontario for a little bit, and that's really the epicenter of pizza pizza. Like, pizza pizza is not really a bank.

There's at one location. Exactly, yeah. Yeah. And when I first saw it, I did think it was like a sub-eastern, you know. brand of Little Caesars Because even the coloring is similar Yeah, it's orange Yeah, it's confusing

I don't like it. I remember on the Moxie Fruvis song Once it was the King of Spain He says now I work at the pizza pizza And I remember thinking as a kid He's got the name wrong It's a little Cesar's

He's thinking of He probably, They probably couldn't get the rights To Little Seasons They got the rights To all those authors In their other big hit though If anybody out there's

Listen to a real fun album Moxie Pruz is it called Hagenville Arganville All right. Anyway, just don't Google any members of Moxie Pruvis. Yeah, four out of five, I think, are okay, if there's five. Do you ever, you grew up in the air of watching Just for Laughs, the like, whatever, the gala shows that were on the Comedy Network.

Yes, I saw them like more as like sort of repeats, I think, on the comedy, yeah, comedy network, yeah, for sure. Was Mazzi Frubis? Like, regular feature? No, they were on once. Yeah, they were on one. I know Motsie Fruvis from a great... Now, are you saying Motsie? Is it...

It's Moxi with an X. Sorry. I want to apologize to everyone. You thought it was Motszbovvvvus. John Gamesi, who I'm sure is owed an apology for this. No, uh, Motsie. Motsie? Motsie. Motsie.

Get the hell out of here. I'm sorry. Bacarella Fruvis. Yeah. Motsarale Fruvis. But I know them from a, uh, informational. video that my grade eight science teacher, grade nine science teacher, played for us where Moxie Fruvis talked about physics. And they didn't talk. That's wrong. They did not talk.

They sang about physics. And I'm certain that this video probably exists online. But if not, it should. And I know it exists because that's when I became aware of the band. Because there was a, well, there was Square One TV that had, like, Kid and Play would do a rap song about measuring stuff with your thumb. Yeah, and then there was the fat boys. It was probably about weight, would be like that. And Weird Al did one about patterns. And then I remember the Bear Naked Ladies did a song that was featured on the Fox Saturday morning program,

just like as an interstitial about, one of them was an alien. And it was about like acceptance. So I'm not surprised. I'm, I've never heard of this Mokie Fuva's physics song. Oh, it's worth a, I don't, sorry, to be clear, I don't think it's a single song. I think it's a compilation of many songs explaining the different sort of physical properties and mechanisms that you can, I think there's levers. I think there's always simple machines. I think there's a lot of simple machines in there.

The wedge. The wedge. So like, you know, when they start. dying off and they want to continue putting out albums. That'll be one of the albums they'll put out allah Tupac. In retrospect. The physics album. So I grew up in Canada and...

Albows up. Maxi Fruvus, elbows up. And Muxi Fruvis was this. For people who think Pizza Pizza is Little Cesar's. Maxi Fruvis was a dorky busking band that was comedy adjacent. Yeah. Silly, silly, silly son. They did like, they sounded like a cross between Baranagan Ladies and

Racapella. Yeah, I was going to say Racapella. Like, that's actually incredible. Yeah, rockapella is who I have as a reference. Do you think that there was just kind of a revival of that vocal groups? Like a cool barbershop? Yeah, like was there. Barbershop?

Yeah. Because, I mean, those two were around the same period. and I can't think of any other Barbershop. Yeah. There were the, the band that Homer Simpson was in. Yeah, the B-sharpes.

Are the Pentatonics? No, they're not a barbershop, but they're all, is it all vocal? Yeah. Well, yeah, I think so. There's a lot of that, like, pitch-perfect glee kind of, like,

vocal group stuff now. Yeah. Yeah, back then we had to make do. Yeah, a real revival. Everything that's sort of like, if you show me a picture of pentatonics and the tri-guise, I don't know which is it. That's sort of like, is this Christian?

Is this Christian entertainment right now? So I'm glad you have peripheral knowledge of Mottsey Frus as you call it. Yeah, Motsie Fruvis. In your mind, how are you spelling? This is actually kind of interesting. Because I think that maybe you think I was spelling it MOT. S-Y. No. I was throwing a Z in there. I said Z for the pizza pizza listeners, but we say Z.

What, okay. So is M-O-T-Z-Y. M-O-T-Z-Y. And then Fruvis. Let's see how I was spelling that. Well, R-F. Yeah, R-F-R-U-V-U-S. What did you just say to me? F-R-U-S. I think there might be an umlaude in there as well. You know why it's hard to spell and remember, because it's nonsense. Yeah, because it is. It's just a nonsense phrase.

But, like, I remember watching that and thinking, like, huh, I guess comedy can be anything at just for last. I mean, it could be, there was a guy who did shadow puppets really well, and there was, like, you know, just weird costume acts and stuff like that. I just remember, so I knew about Muxi Frubis. My parents gave me the talk about Muxi Prud. And then 20 years went by, 15 years went by, and Gian Giamesei was a radio host.

Yeah. And I didn't know him. I didn't listen to CBC. Q was his show. And then he had the big blow up with Billy Bob Thornton. Yeah. And the boxmakers? Boxmasters.

Oh, the boxmasters. Okay. And I saw that clip. And then later I worked at CBC. And we were doing a thing on bands that were like past their prime. Yeah. And like band, like, what's the, do bands stay together longer than they should and when's the right time to break up?

And we were like, oh, let's interview Gian Gameshi about Moxie Fruvus. He's got a sense of humor. Because when I was a kid, he was in Moxie Frubis, which was a funny band. Yeah. Although, and I only had seen that one clip of Billy Bob Thornton, and it was not funny. Yeah. But I also, like, I consider myself funny, but if Billy Bob Thornton. Jordan's mad at me. I'm not going to be cracking jokes.

So I talked to, I interviewed Gian Gameshi and he was the most serious. Oh, yeah. Like, he did not think Moxy Pruvis was a joke. He thought they should have stayed together longer. The irony of this is that it's almost exactly why Billy Bob Thornton blew up on him in the first place as he wasn't taking the box cutters sufficiently seriously. And so to now you were not taking Moxie Fruvis as seriously as he thought you ought to, and he had to blow up the same way. Kind of. He didn't blow up.

I managed to pick up what he was putting down. I see. And just be like, oh, this is just going to be not fun. I just like that you said it's boxmasters. I thought it was box makers. And then you said that they were the box cutters. If they did, Gian and Billy Bob mend fences, I think they could be. Get back together

Boxy Frumas. Yes. Do maybe a split EP. Have you seen his go-to look now? Which one? No. He wears like kind of a tuk

Which one? Who? Oh, Billy Bob's right. Oh, yeah. No, I don't know what Gion looks like these days. Probably got radical plastic surgery so he can, you know, work somewhere. Yeah.

But I think one of his things is that he had to live with his mom. Which, in my mind. I would love it if you got a sentence. He was living with his mom. Yeah. Ha-ha.

But anyways, Billy Bob's wearing this, too. And then like a feathery earring or a big sailor-looking pirate earring. He's always been a fashion icon. Yeah. To me, to everybody. I remember in the 90s when I wore a little bit of blood in a necklace around my neck. It was really cool. It was a great thing.

Was it your partners or just some blood you found? No, no, it was Angelina Jolie's. I sent away for it. It was pretty cool. That would be kind of like, it would be something that you would find on the internet that somebody was like selling authentic. Angelina Jolie blood to hang around your neck. But also, where are those vials? Do they keep them?

Yeah. Do you ask for them back? They had, they each had a vial, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but one of them is probably worth a lot more on the open market. I don't think anyone's looking for Billy Bob blood to make Billy Bob clones, you know? When I ever I go and have surgery, I definitely want Billy Bob's blood.

Just shot straight through you. You wake up from open heart surgery. You have a little fedora and a little toucan immediately. Feathered air. It's little and it has to grow. He was a big, I feel like he did backwards kangall. Yeah, he was a Kangol guy. I feel like he did maybe.

Was he ever shirtless with leather? leather vest? Yeah, it's not out of the realm of a possibility. I think he definitely leather vested, but I don't know if shirtless was in the cards. Of course he leather vested. Yeah. Do you have an all-star list of your all-star Kangle, like, representatives? Because I feel like it's a relatively short but good.

We talked about this one or two weeks ago. Oh, did you really? Yeah, our guest didn't know what a Kangle happened was. Oh, my God. Yeah. I actually, I listened to that episode. Maybe that's why it's in my head. Yeah, there he is.

He's wearing a took and a fedora. Yeah. And that big pirate earring. Pirate earring through the toque? Oh. Is it a toke or a du reig? It actually looks kind of like a du rag. Yeah.

But with a hole for an earring, which might not even be an earring. It might just be like a key chain on. He looks a lot like ripped horn in that photo. He does. It does. It does. It does. It does.

It does. It's not like Billy Bob. Oh, he's got a red hat. And the other one. Oh, yeah. This is a look. This isn't just a one-off. It's a uniform, but he doesn't just wear the one color.

It's like the John Travolta's new director look. Oh, with a little jaunty beret. Yeah, yeah, the beret and the little glasses. I think it was a weird choice to do a white flesh-colored beret that kind of made it look like. One blob. Was he also wearing a suit? Like, one blob makes you flesh-tone. What?

What? He wore it. He had a few, he was, I guess was a can. Yeah. Yeah. And he was wearing, he had the same, like, he had a variety of. He had a couple examples of the. He never wore a different kind of outfit.

He wore that outfit in different colors. Because he's like, I'm going to be the next Steve Jobs. Yeah, he directed a movie. Yeah. Right. And so he wanted to look directory, I think. And it, I've been seeing ads. for it on my Apple TV and it's about planes.

I'm going to wear eyes. Planes and disco. It's the only thing he cares about. Yeah. So you've got an album out. Yes. Is it just album and or special as well? No special.

How come you just went out? Everybody's doing special. I know, but it's so much more expensive. It doesn't pay. Not from the look of it. You don't get the cash. Whoa. Yeah.

I feel like. It's just like You can do specials pretty cheap now, I think Yeah You can. I do have like video footage of it To cut into clips Right.

And potentially put online But I just, I don't know. It would just be one camera. Yeah. Yeah. It's, Yeah, it's and it's,

you're right, it is very expensive compared to just like audio recording, which is. Yes. And there's no serious satellite radio for like video.

Thank God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can't say anything bad about those people. They're wonderful to me. No, no, just the idea of driving down the highway.

Yeah, having to watch. I see. No, no, serious. Except, it's great. It's the best. Yeah, it's, for me, it's like, I like listening to comedy as opposed to watching it. Because if I'm watching it, then all of a sudden I'm on my phone. Like, I can't keep focused to watch a whole hour of stand-up comedy.

I think audio is how I first started listening to stand-up, too. What are you listening to? Albums. Oh, man. Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby, Woody Allen. I was going to say, like, I had Bill Cosby's greatest hits. Yeah, me too.

Yeah, I had it on vinyl. Or I guess I didn't have it. My dad had it. Yeah, I had three of his albums. Yeah. One of them is to my brother that I slept with. I can't remember that one. You know, you used to play Buck Buck Buck.

Oh. What's that? I don't remember. He had a bit about how, in his neighborhood, they used to play Buck Buck Buck. Oh, I thought you were naming a character from the Fat Albert series. Like, I thought Buck Buck was a guy, a cartoon man. Could be.

Yeah. I do remember when I was like a young, like, I don't know, like 9 or 10, I asked my parents for Jeff Foxworthy album. Yeah. Because it was being advertised on the radio. And man, that, that, are you familiar with the works of Jeff Foxworthy? I'm familiar with the one work. Well, then you have it all, because that joke just repeats over and over. and over and over and over again.

It's a good joke. You might be a redneck. Yeah. Yeah. On occasion. Charlie DeMeres. You should do for your next 24-hour stand-up thing. You should say, we're only doing one type of joke.

We should do a format where it's an hour and it's fully that. Like, it has to be. It's a non-na-na-na-na-na-na-na. You might be a redneck. Charlie DeMeres, I think very accurately pointed out, if Jeff Foxyworthy had been alive during the time of Twitter, that would have been a trending topic for a dead. day and then everybody would be done with it. Instead, he had a whole career.

He had a multi-year sitcom. He also had a sketch show. Did he really? He also hosted, you may be smarter than a fifth grader. Oh, are you smarter than a fifth grader? And he was part of a trio of people that were on, what was it called? There was a stand-up comedy. The Redneck Comedy Tour?

No, it was like a color. Comedy Tour? Oh, yeah, he was on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. But he was with Bill Engville. And Ron White. White. Weasley. Larry.

Oh, and Larry the cable guy. Yeah. And Larry Miller. Just to round out. Yeah. Just to make it a little more urbane. Is this a joke whose time has come? Here it goes.

Okay. Are you smarter than a cheese grater? Oh, man. Was that popular at the time? Did people make that joke a lot back then? I don't know. It's hard to, you know, these things come and go. Who knows who said what?

What are you doing? You guys got cheese graders? I have two. I have two different ways of grading cheese at my house. So why? What are the two ways? Well, I have the cheese grater. That's like the triangle sort of box.

Yeah, the box. Not really a triangle, but like a prism of some kind. Yeah, it's got the four walls. Four walls. You're right. So a polygon, I don't know. As shapes. And then I do like a microplane too, though.

I have a microplane. And they're better, I think, actually. for a lot of things, for a lot of uses. John Travolta likes a microplane. Yeah, he likes a macro plane. Any plane. Any plane. We've got, yeah, we've got the foresider. Yeah.

But what I'm, my favorite is the IKEA, it's this IKEA thing that's like a Tupperware bowl with a lid that is a grader and you grade it into the bowl. But I also have a little tiny one for, um. Nutmeg? Well, I guess you could nutmeg, Motsi for us You could Well that would be like a microplane

Isn't it? Yeah But I do the like Parmesan kind of like Right yeah I get the dust I like getting a dusty parm All over my past

Yeah But I also do Garlic on that Oh yeah Guys you know what I do What? Pre shredded Pre shredded from Costco

Cheap as it can be Easy easy ready to go Graham This is the intervention This is a problem with your generation is you won't get your elbows greased. I won't get my elbows grease. Everybody is a choppedunk to me.

Oh my God. You are, you are. I am chopped dunk. You guys, everybody to me is chopped dunk. No cap? No cap. For real, for real? Did older generations, I'm sure I bring this up all the time.

Did older generations used to make fun of young person slang? Oh, God. Have you ever seen like Bob Hope dressed up like a hippie? Or like literally any time a white old man of our generation would do like a rap segment within. That's true. I've seen Steve Martin do it. I've seen all the greats Rodney Dangerfield. No, it's new.

So this is an album, not a special. Not a special. But if you were to do a special, would you do anything wacky that would be just good in a special or would you just do? Oh, man. I would probably start by wearing a little du reig with like a red fedora hat. Okay. I like where you're going so far. And then I'd transition into backwards white Kangal hat.

Oh, you'd try different hats on during. Yeah. I just want to point out of that in this picture, his earring has a little earring. Yes. Also, this headline, Billy Bob Thornton looks totally unrecognizable at Landman Season 2 premiere. He's very recognizable. Is that him? wearing a vest down there in that the little...

Here? Yeah, is that a vest? No, that's a sleeveless. Sleeveless shirt. I'm going to go, uh, Billy Bob with a written vest. Yeah, let's see the vest years. Those were the vest days of my life. Uh, no, vest.

Yeah, wrong. Um, he's worn a bunch of different hats. Trucker, cowboy, Dora. What is he hiding? Um, now you were saying before we started that you were going to, going to a cowboy theme wedding. Yeah. And, uh, in Colonna, British Columbia.

In Colonna, British Columbia. Now, is this because you have friends that are real like country people? Uh, no, not real. Well, I guess I don't, well, I'm really mincing words here. Um, no, not really. One of the, one of the grooms is from Saskatchewan. And he loves things that are country and country music. He's a big Garth Brooks fan.

Sure, who isn't? And then the other groom is from a small town in Ontario where I don't think there are horses or sort of the idea of country in a cowboyy way. It's country in a... So two grooms. How many brides? We got zero brides. We got two beautiful young men are getting married in a cowboy. I can't perform surgery on either of these grooms.

Yeah. Oh, I was told there would be seven brides for seven brothers. Um, the, yeah, Girls for Every Boy, I think they're, Um, you, uh, so one of them is from rural Ontario. I think not quite rural Ontario. Rural Ontario is different to me. Like then rural BC, rural Ontario feels like there are actually like towns of things going on, you know?

Rural BC, it's like, or rural Saskatchewan or rural Alberta, it feels like there's like a mill. Yeah. And shut down and people are just like hanging around. Yeah. Like, so he doesn't, he doesn't. He's not of that type of person, I would say. He's like, past guests. Probably from like Belleville or something.

I don't know. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. James Hartnett is from Orangeville, I think. Yeah. And he talks about like... He grew up on a farm. Yeah, but also, you're like three hours from Toronto.

Yeah. Like in Saskatchewan, you're not. You get into the old truck that has hay bales in the back. Yeah. Maybe your dad pulls out a new bike for you. That you had cut out of the Canadian tire catalog. Ride this to Toronto. Go seek your fortune.

So is the wedding taking place on a ranch? Man, I have so few details about this wedding. Does this wedding take place in the Yellowstone universe? Yes. Actually, it's in the Landman universe. Oh, yeah, well, let me tell you about the director. There's going to be one guy there who's unrecognizable. Have you watched Landman?

I hear Landman's the best of those. I haven't watched Lament, haven't watched Yellowstone. Don't really love Westerns enough to like watch a whole series. I like Western movies, but a whole series of Western is too. Can't do it. Heartland in Canada has been on the air for like 21 years. I'm going to binge that this summer. Heartland?

Yeah. Good luck. 18 seasons. My grandmother loved Heartland. And she's been dead for decades. I was like, either it's been canceled or she's passed away. Well, it's definitely not been canceled, but maybe she just doesn't like it anymore. Yeah, it's like Canada's EastEnders.

It just keeps going, you know, and it has a really devoted fan base, I suppose. Oh, sure. Canada's Coronation Ranch. Yeah. Now we're talking. So, well, you said you've got a cowboy hat. No, you've got to find a cowboy hat. I have to find a cowboy hat. I have time, though.

There's one right up there. Oh, can I have that? I mean, sure. I got it from the people of Calgary. Oh. It was presented to me. There you go. That's actually pretty cool.

If I could bring that to this wedding, I'd be real all-star. Well, I know you're in the neighborhood. Yeah. And you've got a bolotie. I got a bolotie. Do you have, are you going to wear like some sort of country western shirt? No, I'm going to wear a pretty normal shirt. I actually, I went to another cowboyish wedding a few years ago, but this wasn't themed.

It was just in Nashville. It was outside of Nashville. And so there were just cowboys there. and there is an expectation to wear cowboy boots. I don't know why I keep getting invited to these. Do you have boots? Oh, yeah, I got some boots. You do?

Yeah, well, I'm borrowing them. Again, from the same guy I borrowed them from before. Oh, nice. Yeah. It's good to know a cowboy with your shoe size. It's really helpful. You know, it's a look that I think only women can pull off is shorts and cowboy boots. I feel like you don't see a lot of guys wearing that outfit.

Lieutenant Dangle, I think, is the famously exception. Yeah. Yeah, like big cowboy boots and just real short shorts. Yeah. Not that I'm saying it's a look that can only exist with it. And I think more and more men I see in oversized hockey sweater and knee socks. And then like, is it like you're staying longer in Colonial? You're just because you can't do Colonnais.

Taking in the States. Taking in the side. Are you going this weekend? Going this weekend. Friday through Sunday. We got a weather check? In Kelowna. I haven't done a weather check yet, but I'm assuming, son. Sure. Right? To assume.

I think so. Yeah. I haven't been to Colonna in a very long time, though. You're driving? Going to drive, yeah. Have you done stand-up comedy in Kelowna? No, I've been invited to, and I have not done it. I should do it. There's, once in a while, there's a guy out there that does a really good job of putting on shows. Yeah, that's what I've heard.

But I don't think there's no, like, club or anything. Like, you have to be invited by... Yeah, yeah. A vampire situation. Yeah. Yeah, you can't get into colonel unless you're playing it. Yeah. So we're looking at this weekend.

Oh, no. Is it not good? Saturday? Rain? Cloudy. Oh, that's fine. And rain. Oh, no.

And a high of... You should have lied with rain. High of 11. Oh. That's actually... Honestly, I think I might prefer Like, I don't know if it's an outdoor wedding, but I'm going to be in a suit. Yeah.

I don't like a hot suit. You're going to be in a cowboy. I'm going to wear a suit with cowboy boots and a hat and a bullet suit. I want to look like Landman from the series Landman. If it's 11 and raining, you're going to want a big duster. Yeah. Yeah. This actually, that's a very good idea.

Like a duster. There were, when I was in high school in Calgary, there were kids that wore cowboy hats. school. But they were cowboys. They were cowboys. Yeah. It wasn't ironic. I wasn't parking their tractor in the parking lot.

Yeah, they'd have racing for pinks off the side of a cliff with their tractors. I watched 10 things I hate about you. Oh, yeah. In the last couple of years. And it takes place, I think, in Seattle. It does. And there's like a gag in it where there's like all these different cleaks, cliques. Yeah.

in the school. And it's like, you know, cheerleaders and jocks and cowboys. And they're like doing rope tricks. Yeah. Yeah. There was a contingent.

And they kind of hung out with each other prison style where this like what you say in different groups. Yeah. But it was never, it wasn't. And they would wear like cowboobo. It was like it was really not ironic in any way. We had no, I don't know about within Vancouver proper,

But North Vancouver, we had no cowboy. It wasn't a subgroup within our... Too wet. Too wet. We had rainboys. Yeah, you had like... Just in slicks, rain slicks, the yellow ones. Hikers, you had a big hiking.

Lots of hikers. Subculture. I like in a movie where a cop is wearing a cowboy hat and then they've got like the kind of shower cap over it because it's like poor rain. Oh, that's a great moment in a movie. I couldn't agree more with you. it's just like yeah do you don't think of just taking off your silly hat

just going hatless for a few hours that's a that's an item that has to be manufactured in china for that like hat covers yeah that cowboy hat cover that's incredible I do I mean I was never in the military but I do love really this is shocking you could drop and give you 20 if he wanted to

I do love the like how everything on a uniform has a purpose and a meaning and like in different situations. And like learning all that would have been fun for me. But that would have made it very difficult for you in the Army. Exactly. But learning is fun. Dave, what does this mental mean? Well, okay.

Well, technically you're not supposed to be wearing digital camo right now. Yeah, the, I just think it's, I think it's funny that there are police in America that have to wear. Do we have, I guess the Mountie, Mountie has, Mountie has like a distinctive hat, yeah. It's part of their surge. Oh, huh. Yeah. Nice. Nice.

Are they, like, when you say the Mount, like, that's their tradition, you would never have somebody showing up at a domestic dispute dressed. like Sam Steele What I understand To be the case on this could actually be totally Wrong so you can fact check me afterwards but I think that There was a certain point in time where they were banned From wearing them in court

Because people so respected the Surge that they would be like no man Who wears this red surge Could possibly ever lie Yeah So they were like you can't wear the surge in court anymore You have to wear a normal suit You gotta get a Mountie on our side

Yeah If I was on trial I would go in Mountie outfit and then they have to declare it a mistrial. Yeah, I wear a surge. Every time I'm in court, I wear a surge. I would, yeah, wear it as a jury member. What? Your hat's just like always pumping up against their fellow jurors.

I got this from Farrell. It's not a Mountie hat, sir. J. So, Well, great to have you. Yeah. Thanks. I was,

go, no, no, you get. Well, when you were talking about how it's called the surge,

I was thinking about, I watched the, um, uh, the movie, uh, give me shelter this weekend, the documentary about the Rolling Stones.

Oh, okay. And the, uh, the concert at Altsma. And I was, and the Hells Angels were hired to be security. Yeah.

And they're like on the phone with one of, with sunny bargers. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And he's like, I was told,

I could just, as long as I sat on the stage and kept people from climbing on the stage, I was told I could drink beer all day. But they call their uniform colors, right? Yeah. Yes. Or patches. Patches. Paches, colors.

Yeah. But they, what a great name for a. Els angels? Yeah. It is truly like great branding. Like, I don't think you could get around it. Say what you will about the Hells Angels, but their branding is absolutely on point. I do know someone who was in a band, and they kind of had, they tried to copy that aesthetic.

Well, that was bad. And they did get apparently, allegedly contacted by the Hells Angels who were like, you can't do this. Yeah. Like, stop doing this. And then he knocked over all their motorcycles. Yeah. Yeah. There used to be a club in New Westminster called Laughlin.

Oh, yeah. And they had had a strict no colors or patches. But so that meant there were always undercover Hell's Angels that every single. Yeah. Yeah. I remember that club used to have the motorcycle comic come. Do you remember that guy? Herb Dixon.

Is it Herb Dixon, the motorcycle guy? Yeah, it's come up on the show quite a bit. Oh, really? I love the idea of it. Have you seen it? No, no. You got to see it. Yeah, I don't think so.

There was a channel 8 or no gas, all gas, no brakes, did something on the Sturgis motorcycle thing. I think he might have been there, but that would be the only time I would have seen him perform. Yeah, he's got a great five and an even better hour. He has his own microphone. He brings his own mic. It's like tiny and picks up car noises better, I guess. Yeah.

And he does motorcycle noises. Yeah. For the listener. He'll do a car. He'll do a plane. You can do a Cessna. But yeah, that's branching out. Yeah.

His core stuff is a motorcycle star. And yeah, yeah. And it's, I remember what the slogan was. It was like, your ears won't believe what your eyes will see. You're something. Because he was, he was always advertised as that Harley guy. Yeah. Yeah.

We got that Harley guy and Canada, we also have that Canadian. Yeah. I remember, I did a show in Kingston at the Absolute in Kingston. Yeah. And that was always like an interesting group of people who would come through. because Kingston's a weird place, right? Because the population is composed of students who go to the university there, Queens, and then the Royal Military Academy soldiers.

So there's always soldiers around. And then also the penitentiaries are there. And that means you're doing like hard time in Canada. So a lot of the time their families will move to Kingston, Ontario while their parents are serving time so that like they can still see dad or mom or whatever. And then when they get out of the pen, they stay in Kingston. So there's like a huge population of ex-cons as well. And so I remember that absolute was like crazy because it would be a combination of college professors, ex-cons, and military guys.

And you'd just be like, what material am I supposed to do here? This crowd work is awful. I walked in one time and this guy was just absolutely killing. Like could not have been killing harder. The audience was losing their minds. And what he was doing is he had a cooler. And in it was just a bunch of domestic. household items that he would

pull out of the cooler and they make a pun out of, so he'd pull out a head of lettuce and go, let us entertain you. And then his big closer was he pulled out a hot dog and he just said, hot dog and the audience lost their minds. And then I had

to go up and stoo my bullshit and it did not go over well at all. This guy's the greatest thing. He was incredible. Hot dog. Yeah. Yeah, Oh, that's good.

It would be great doing crowd work there and, like, you there in the Tweed jacket with leather elbow patches. What do you do for work? I'm an ex-con. Financial crimes. The, yeah, one time I opened for a hypnotist and, like, they said the guy who ran the club was like, yeah, you really like, Cajolia, that's your job as the host,

like, you just kind of like get them up. So I hype them up, hype, and then he comes out, he's like, I need total sound. And you know what? I didn't watch the rest of the act. Now I feel like I might have missed out. He may have done really, uh, real cool. I've never, have you, well, I guess you've seen a hip,

no, you missed out on that act. Have you actually been, have either of you've been hypnotized or gone to hypnotist? Because I never have. And I'm very skeptical of it as a medium, like as, as, uh, like, I don't know if they're doing it for real when they're doing it. a big gymnasium or whatever. Yeah. I went to an X-rated hypnotist

when I was like... Was it Ronnie something? No, it wasn't Anthony Cooles either. Oh, maybe that's who I was thinking, Anthony Cooles. But it was a, yeah, a guy and, you know, I, you know, got people up on stage. And they do with, like, maybe what makes it more believable is, like, they get about 10 people on the stage and they...

Yeah. He starts hypnotizing them. And, you know, as he's wrapping up, he'll just be like, if you're not under now, let me know and just you don't have to stay. And so, like, two or three of them got up and left the stage, which made me think, oh, the rest of them are so hypnotized. And then, you know, a woman blew a chair. Oh, all right. And that really, it was really, like, in the 90s especially, like sleaze bag, hypnotism was real. Huge.

Because they would play, he would play at the, the back alley, which was like the, that already sounds terrible. Yeah, like the roughest club in, you know,

Calgary proper was, uh, the back alley. Uh, you can get real, really, uh, cheap beer,

cheap shots and then always, be guaranteed a fight in the pot. Okay. Like every night if you went. Did you, uh, have a fake ID growing up? Yep.

I had one. Did you use it to go to places or just to go by? I used it for both. I bought, I bought stuff from places and went to places. It was very poorly put together. It was a student ID, which was okay and worked in the UK. And then I brought back here and I was like, maybe it'll work here.

It did. I think there was a lot less. It was the University of Ulster, I think, or something like that. Sounds British. Yeah. And then so I'd just do a real thick British accent. It sounds right. Hello.

I'll have some Guinness, please. Can I get a Pim's cup? You have to order something, but... Do you have one? No, no. I didn't. I just would get alcohol through the brothers of my friends, I feel like. My older brother hook up.

And then I never had... I never went to a club as a child. Yeah, especially like... If people are getting in fights in the parking lot, I don't want to go there as an adult. Yeah. I also, I did my undergrad in Montreal where you're 18 and you're 18. So, you know, you don't really need it. Yeah. Same way.

I went to UVIC, and I never drank until I was 19. Wow. I didn't have a fake idea. I didn't do anything. Yeah. And there were so many Ontarians who had done grade 13 that by the time they got to BC, they were 19. They were ready to go bananas.

Yeah. The thing that I had to do with my friends was wait outside of a liquor store. Yeah. Get some sympathetic adult. Oh, yeah. To buy you alcohol. You'd be surprised if easy it was. Yeah.

I would be, I would assume it's a sting. I would do. I would assume John Kenyonez is there with his hidden camera. What would you do? Yeah, for sure there was. That potential. But if you just said you could have the rest of the money, a lot of people look inside. Like, they were like, that's fine.

I'll buy booze for these kids. You know what? If there's any kids out there, then they want me to buy booze for them. It's not a sting. It can't be a sting. No stings allowed. You have to say if this is a sting. Yeah, that's right.

That's the rule. You have to say up front if it's a sting. And you can't be wearing those, those like ray bands that have a recorder. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you can't. There's no surveillance whatsoever could be done on this. You can't record me on your phone, but I will buy, and it has to be Canadian. I'm not buying Budweiser for you.

You know, elbows up in the bootlegging. Yeah, Coakeney you can have. You have Wildcat. Yeah, Wildcat. You have Lucky Logger. Lucky Logger. Is that Canadian Lucky Logger? I think it's like, I associate with the island.

Me too. Yeah. And dudes hack and darts. Hack and darts. Lucky Lager. I'll buy you a hay y'all ice ice cream. Oh man. Anything that was like, tastes it like candy was that was it.

That was party time as a teenager. Oh, for sure. Growers cider. Growers and like a big. That was a big cider 40 hand thing. Oh, Edward 40 hands. Edward 40 hands, but with ciders. But they're like two liters?

Two liters each. God, you'd just get cavities. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Did you drink at high school? I drank later, like really quite a bit later actually. Like in grade 12, I started to drink. But I also was on acutane for my hideous acne.

And so I couldn't drink that much because it would undermine the acutane. Oh, sure. And I get a big breakout. And did acutane, is that the one that gives you like psychosis? Psychosis. And if you're a lady, it gives like your future babies like crazy birth defects, allegedly. I need to say allegedly.

But on every pill, because they came in like individual pills, every single pill had a picture of a pregnant lady on it with an axe over it. Oh. So they're like, do not get pregnant on these. On these bills. Don't get pregnant from these. Do not do this. Don't lose your acne so much that people are trying to were pregnant.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stay acne enough that people stay away. But yeah, no, I definitely, yeah, I did some of that. It worked. Yeah. Yeah. It cleared up my act. Look at you now.

Yeah. I look good. Yeah. Not a sit to be found. No. No. Not visibly. People think I eat too many chocolate bars.

Oh, yeah. I was just talking about him yesterday with my girlfriend. Yeah. Yeah. From the chocolate bar, from the ad for zits. And so we had to. From the chocolate bar. No way.

The ad for zits. People think, I eat too many chocolate bars because O'Henri is oh so good. Yeah. But no, we had two disputes, me and my girlfriend. The first was, was that an ad for an acne treatment, or was it a PSA to not bully kids with acne? It was a PSA. It was a PSA? Oh, you didn't find this out?

No, we didn't look it out. And then the other. We'll just go to bed angry. Yeah. And then the other question that we had was, is he? Is that, does he have a French accent or Spanish accent? That is, uh, because it's, I thought it was a French accent and it was a Canadian commercial, but I know Americans had that ad too.

Yeah. And what was it a PSA for? Was it for anti-bullying or was it for treating acne? Yeah, or like, see your doctor about acne. I think it was about bullying because it was on during cartoon time. I feel like scuff, scruff, McGruff, Chicago, Illinois. That was like the same era with Scruff McGrath. Okay, let's just have a quick look at it.

People don't see... A free informational video. They just see my acne problem. Oh, it is an acne. People think that I eat too many chocolate bars or that I don't watch my face. Yeah, I tried many things. I've tried everything, but just nothing works.

Your dermatologist knows about treatment. Oh, nice. I probably go out of it, but I don't think so. I really thought it was about bullying. Now that it will actually go away. Did anyone get a free informational video? And if you did, you see this guy going to Quebec school, going to like Spanish Americans, Spanish Americans.

Do you know what was, there was kind of a Mandela effect on that, having just watched that right now. He doesn't say chocolate bars quite the way that we all remember it. Also, at the end of the end, he's acne-free at the end. I know. He looks so good. What does he say? How does he say it?

People think that I eat too many chocolate bars Or chocolate bars It's not quite chocolate bars Yeah Barde de chocola Yeah That's true He didn't say bar de chocalla

Yeah So he's definitely Spanish Oh one other thing you mentioned that you want to talk about Although in America Don't they say candy bars? Do they say Is that a regional American thing, though?

Like pop soda, that's like all, it depends. Yeah. Yeah. And in Atlanta, they call everything Coke. Yeah. Which is so wrong. It's unbelievably incorrect. What they call all soda's Coke?

Yeah. That's regionally, they say, oh, they call it all. It's not true. Yeah. So root beer Coke. You don't think that's true? I've heard that's true. And I believe everything.

I've heard it's true, too. I don't think it's true. Yeah. Because it would make everything impossible. Do you remember the old there was a Shaquille O'Neal ad where he said Caramel versus Caramel and that was a real fun

sort of debate that went on during the 90s Carmel versus Caramel with Shaquille O'Neal. Yeah. Do you remember? What was it an ad for? It was an ad for caramel milk chocolate bars and Shaquille O'Neal is sitting on the stoops of a brownstone

apartment like he often did in Orlando and then he would be with a child an unknown child who would say this is good caramel chocolate and he'd go Caramel and then they'd have a fight over it

Oh that was the That was a part of the ad That was a big part of that was the central Well that was like the It's not like the hook It's not like people watched it and then debated with their girlfriends later What's he saying?

You're right You're right All right let's watch this It's for Nestle Crunch Oh for Crunch See? Oh, another Nadella. It's Carmen.

I'm actually surprised at how well I remembered this. He's not. He is kind of on the steps of a brownish. He's on the steps of Sesame Street. I kind of wish this was still around, to be honest. Yeah, Carmel Nestle Crunch. Oh, I like caramel. Caramel.

I'm a caramel Bayer. Yeah, me too. Caramel is clearly wrong. There was a. the show on for maybe just one season where Shaq did all sorts of different things like drive a race car and like climb a mountain or something. And one of the things he did was he competed against Michael Phelps just like doing two laps. If Shaquille O'Neal had dedicated his life to swimming, he would have been unbeatable. He lost by a very, very small.

Oh, really? Yeah, because he's just so big. He's, he is like a weirdly, because I'll watch inside guys, uh, team. and T. Okay. You know, big fan of the basketball commentary.

I don't even watch basketball. I just like to watch them talk about highlights. I'm a big fan of Charles Barkley. But they have on guests,

like, and they had these arm wrestlers from Canada, actually. They're the best, the best arm wrestler in the world is a Canadian. Oddly, elbows down.

Elbows down, you're right. Faisley elbows down. You're right. I think it might be an Albertan separatist now. But let's not. I actually don't want

to make that allegation. good man. But like, he arm wrestled Shaquille O'Neal, and you could tell he was struggling a little bit for sure. Yeah. Because Shaquille O'Neal is just an absolute monster of human being. He has such skill and ability. He's a great swimmer, great arm wrestler, really good on hot ones. He became a cop at one point. Yeah, was he, was a California somewhere that he had a Florida. Yeah, his cameo and Adam Sandler movies have us rolling on the floor line. Yeah. steel big superhero movie that he was in. He sold his shoes at Payless so everyone could afford them.

Yeah, he's cool. I like Shaq. I'll go to the mat. It's for Shaq. Yeah, well, that's one of the things he did was wrestling. That's true. Yeah. Dave Chumpka.

Yeah. Oh, cool. Yeah. I went to a different kind of ball game. I went to a local. minor league baseball game this week. Oh, okay. And it was the Vancouver Canadiens against,

oh my God, I want to say the Eugene Emeralds. Good name. Yeah. And my kids were like, why are their shirts say Eugene? They just thought like, guys whose names were Eugene. And we went because it was dog day.

Yes. The day when they're allowed to bring, you're allowed to bring your dogs. We didn't bring our dogs because our dogs are bad. And it's not mandatory. You can get in without a dog. Have you been to dog days? Oh, yeah.

You have a dog? No, we take other dogs. Sure. Take them out for a dog. No, we'll go usually with my sister-in-law and my father and mother-in-law will take the dog with us. Okay. It's my sister-in-law's dog. And what type of dog were you dealing with her?

They're both little mixed breed and little guys They're kind of like your dogs upstairs They're kind of like they look like that I've got I've really Folded under the gun there You're painting it The feet of the bun

They're little dogs It was a good time The people in front of us had dogs One was like Get an aisle seat if you have a big dog Because we're like, people are trying to get around this giant dog. Yeah. It was one dog's birthday.

Oh, happy birthday. And it was one dog. There was like this beautiful Afghan hound that was there. Oh, pretty. I had a hot dog. Okay. For dinner. Nice.

And were you like thinking about it all day? Yeah, I was like, okay. So dinner's sort of. The game's at seven. We usually before that. I'm not cooking and then going to a game. And then the day you're like, don't double up. I'll eat a hamburger for lunch.

And I went and I was like, you know what? It's 7.30 now. I haven't eaten. I'll get a foot long dog. Yeah. Let me tell you, this was the worst hot dog I've had in my life. It was so dry. The bun was so dry.

It was. That's how they moved beer. Not enough ketchup and mustard in the world to get this thing wet. And so I eat my hot dog. I get like halfway through, I'm like, oh, God, I don't want to finish this, but I'm surrounded by dogs. So I was like, I guess I have to finish for this hot dog. Yeah, it's like the irony of being out to see your water, water everywhere. Dogs, ducks everywhere, but I can't get rid of this dog.

Are you, there's some exciting news for you if you're excited about that hot dog, which is what I took away from that story. Okay. is Tuesday nights. The Canadians game is 75 cent hot dogs. Oh, yeah. All season long. Oh, really? I've been going.

I've been getting four hot dogs every time I go. They limit it to four hot dogs per transaction. Sure. So you can go back. Are the lines long? No, they also have guys with hot dog containers that will come to you. Right. Yeah.

But they won't squirt any mustard on for you. No, no, sadly. No, with the foot long... Hot dog. How much hot dog is hanging off? It's, they got a foot long bun. They got a foot long bun. Okay. So there's no just eating just hot dog for her. No, that would be nice. Yeah. For a chomp.

Yeah, I could do that for a chomp or two. Yeah. I did yesterday also make hot dogs. Oh, they were so good. Oh, my God. When you were growing up, were you hot, like boiled hot dog? Yeah. I was sold. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. A hundred percent. Unless it was like unless you went to somebody's birthday where they were done on a grill. Maybe in summer we would have some. Yeah. Yeah. But it was always. It was an occasional treat. The grilled hot dog.

And it's so much better than a boiled hot dog. Isn't it? Yeah. Isn't it much, much better? Yeah. It's 30% better. Ah, I would give it 60%. Not 100.

I think it's like a boiled hot dog is, you're underestimating it. A boiled hot dog is good. Yeah. You just like to spoon the water afterwards, like the milk and a cereal. Have you ever done a... Yeah, you're supposed to save the water from a hot dog, put it on other dishes. I mean, in your like 20s when you're living alone. Did you ever do a frying pan hot dog?

Oh, yes. For sure. Yeah, 100%. And that is below. Is that above or below boiled? I... Okay, so what are the criteria we're using to score? Is it below? in the sense of like it's more dirt baggy?

No, no, no. Or is it below in the sense of it doesn't taste as good or tastes better? You think grilled is so much better than boiled. Where does fried go? I actually think that fried taste slightly better because you're still getting a crisp edge. Mm. I'm like a crisp edge, you know? Have you ever boiled in beer?

I have. I've done that with like a brought worst. Not a hot dog. I've done it with a hot dog. It's really good. Yeah? I've no idea with a hot dog. I noticed no difference.

Yeah. I think you need a sausage. that can soak it up or has more like because a hot dog is so viscous when it's like put into a it's form and see me they don't come form like that they chop off the dog's fingers

but yeah I don't think you can get I don't think the beer can get in there I think it's so tightly packed there's no uh yeah now in Montreal big thing is steamed hot dogs and how about it steamy

I like a steamer I could have a cousin of the boiled hot dog. It is. Yeah. Are they cooked in steam? I think it's steamed. Yeah. And then they covered in like salad essentially.

You can get at the, at like a, boy, I mean, when you're getting them at a hockey game or a baseball game, sometimes they pull them out of a steamy drawer. Yeah. Are those steemies?

I don't know. Yeah. Well, it doesn't sound like the one you had was steamy. It sounds like it was dry as a boat. What about, uh, on a roller?

Yeah. Oh, a roller. ways to cook a hot dog. Yeah. Yeah. Were they ever on a like, am I imagining a thing where they're on skewers that's like rotating? I 100% have this memory too.

Yeah, yeah. They're still around. Yeah. Yeah, there's skewers widthwise and there's like four on each station. Is that the one you're talking about? Were they actually like like penetrated with a bar that went through them? I think so. Yeah.

And you, and they take them off the bar and give it to you? I never saw it. I never watched it being taken off. Yeah. Maybe they were just a, just for ambiance. They were just an art piece. Yeah, it was like, um, like a lighting fixture. Yeah.

Like an art piece. Have you seen this? Every 7-Eleven has to have a certain amount of public art in order to get some grants. Uh, that's cool. Hot dogs are great. Yeah. I can't believe I had, I've never really had a bad one until this. Yeah.

I would go so far as to say hot. Dogs are kind of underrated among the big three. Okay. Dishish fast food. What are the two other threes do you think? Well, for sure, we're talking hamburger. Yes. And then are we talking pizza?

Yes. Okay. There's the big three. At one point, I was like, maybe he means... Tacos? Yeah. Oh. Yeah, maybe a big four.

Yeah, I'm not Rushmore, really. Yeah. Well, I also was wondering if fries were going to be involved. No. Fries are a side. Fries are their own category. They're in the potato big three. Yeah.

Mashed fries and hashbreadths. I would say chips. I'd say potato chips. Well, there's a fourth has entered three. Do you know what I love watching on Instagram Reels, guys? Okay. I love these videos in England, or bread in, where they have a big jacket potato, they call them. and it's just them cutting it open

you can get them at like trucks food trucks they cut them open they just fill them with shit like butter or cheese or baked beans and then salsa and then they just serve it to someone I get those videos constantly and I never click away

I watch it from beginning to end I love them that he it knows that that's what you're interested in being fed I love it I get a lot I've got so many that I started following them. I think it's in Wales.

It's a bar or pub called The Lion. And they do trivia, and they just have two people sitting at the bar, and they're always the dumbest people. And they're playing. You have to answer seven questions right. And then you get like seven like poker chips. And then once you get one right, you move it to the side. And then after the seventh one, you're playing for the shot. And there's a shot sitting there.

Oh, okay. And these people will just. There's my favorite is a guy named Garin. He's there all the time. He's always

like drunk and sunburnt. And he takes so he never wins. And then if you two people answer at the same time, it'll be like, you know, the question will be like, how does James Bond like his

martini? Black. But if two people get the answer right at the same time, they have to do rock paper scissors. And this guy Garren cheats for her rock paper scissors all the time. And so, like, they'll one, two, three.

And he'll see the person has done paper. So he'll slowly bring a couple of fingers out to do scissors. No, Garan, no. There was a great video of somebody driving and listening to an Irish radio station that they're doing like lightning round trivia to win. Oh, I think I've seen this. Remind me. And she's like, she rattles off the answer so fast. Danny goes, I can't believe it.

You didn't get a single one. But you said with such confidence that you're like, oh, yeah. Yeah, she does. Give them really fast. Anyway, baseball's the game of the year. Yeah. Swing those bats around, you know, bring your dogs to work day. What do you hear?

What do you think about this chatter that I hear about trying to woo a baseball team? Oh, a Major League baseball team? That is insane. It is insane. But could we do it? No. Too crazy? Could we do it?

The three of us in the room right now? I have a couple million. I'm ready to put on the line. I mean, you have to have a billion dollars, right? I think you have to have, like, more than a billion dollars. Like, I think you need multiple billion. Like, Shohei Otani's contract is $750 million. That's one player.

But he's, he's, uh, what is the, he's not? He doesn't get it for 10 years. He's like deferring it. Yeah. Yeah, so they can get around luxury tax. Yeah, and also so his translator stopped stealing his money to Campbell. The, another thing about the baseball game is, I like the player's names. Oh.

You know, a lot of baseball players have crazy names these days. I feel like I know exactly who you're talking about, and I'm so excited you're bringing this up. So there's his first basement, his name's who. Well, last. Well, last year, or a couple years ago, there's a guy named Caleb Ketchup. Yeah, that's right. But now we have a player named Dubbleed. Nice.

Oh, okay. Is that not who you used that? I have something to add, but did you get a dub chant going? Because the games I've been to this year, there's the fans just go dub, dub, dub, they cheer it all together, but not even when dub is up to bat. No, we just cheer it. They're just excited that he's there. No, we mostly had, the cheers were like woof and bar.

Oh, I see. I feel like when he told the story about the ketchup guy, your daughters were like, well, his name can't be ketchup. Well, it was. And then there was a guy who came up after named something Sanchez. And they were like, his name is sandwiches? The guy I was thinking of is actually he played for the Canadians just a little bit.

I know a lot about the Canadians and you'll find out. But like, Peyton Williams was a first. baseman for the Canadians this year. He's now gone back up to double A. He keeps going between AA and AAA, but he's a huge man. He's 6'5 foot 5 and about like 275 pounds. Okay. And he's from Iowa, and his nickname is the Iowa meat truck.

That's his nickname is the Iowa meat truck. And so whenever he plays, oh, I love to scream the Iowa meat truck. What's his name? The Iowa meat truck. What's his human name? Oh, his human name? Peyton, the Iowa meat truck Williams. Williams.

Yeah. If he was a hockey player's nickname would be Willie. I love that because I don't, you know, there's no part of that that makes any sense. So what's a, what's a meat truck? Yeah. Yeah. It's not like a, you know, I was, you said meat truck. I was picturing a food truck.

Yeah. Yeah. With some Iowa, you know, hipster selling there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. a truck made of meat or a truck that's a name's me. I picture like a big rig delivering delicious maple leaf brand product. Yeah, delivering stuff to the Midnight Meat Train. Yeah. Or maybe it's just a family. Maybe it's just a family name.

Iowa Meat Truck. Yeah. Maybe it's like, you know, Prince Michael the 3rd or whatever. Maybe it's a family name. Yeah, although they're all from Iowa, I assume. So they're all different Iowa trucks. Yeah. The Iowa Meat Train.

Graham. Yes. What's going on? with you. Everyone's wondering. This, so like, we're, we're not at summer yet. We're late in spring. But I've already busted out the park chairs.

They were already, went back into storage, picked them. Actually, Sally had lent them to a friend. So I was like, you gotta go get a bag right now. So these are chairs. And by the way, you could have been doing this in April. We've been having such a mild spring. I think I was just waiting, like, you know, there's a certain point where.

we like turn the the radiator off because it's the summertime. So that's like, that's a big day. And first, first park drink, that's, to me, that's like,

summer's already here. It's, I've defeated it. And, it's the best. I forgot how good sitting in a park. Now, you take your,

these chairs, describe them. They are folding. Folding. They are Coleman brand. They are, they fold. They're very light.

There's no, no problems carrying them. You can, can do that fun thing where you like kind of punch it in the air and it all unfold. Oh. Yeah. That's like a fun move you can do. It's got a beer. They fold.

Oh, so I was picturing folding folding, but they're like umbrellaing. Ureliing. Yeah. Oh. And so doing that like is really fun to do that. It's got a beer holder. How many blocks do you have to carry these things? Like less than five.

Do you ever just do it out front of your building? Yep. Well, we haven't done that yet. We haven't cracked the seal on that, but... And you take an alcoholic drink to the park. Yeah. And do you get ticketed? Haven't been so far.

If somebody tried, I'd wrestle them into the ground and steal their pad of paper and start giving tickets to everybody else. Now I'm in charge of the parking bunk. I'm pretty sure that's arrestable. No worry. I got friends to wear patches. The people giving tickets are actually... actual cops. I think you might get shot.

Oh, I don't want to get shot. Oh, God. But yeah, the, so we went to the park, and the best, shadiest spot was a lot of people were in it. Hmm. But are the owls back? There's talk. There's, there's a chatter about maybe an owl being back. They've seen people looking and trying to get a sense of where it is.

Do you, did you see the owls when they were? No, I haven't seen the. I've heard. hail of the owls in the neighborhood, but I've never, I've never seen them. It was as magic as you would assume it was. I, I've seen an owl before in the wild. Yeah. Every second of it I loved.

Yeah. I loved it. Like a jacket potato, I loved it. I could watch it all day. But, like, I feel like Vancouver wants it to come back. They want the owl to return for another season. I mean, like, forget a baseball team. We can barely get an owl.

I've got seasons tickets to owl Billionaires Get together, get us an owl And so yeah Like Sat in the shade with a Little Kids birthday party Was there

And then just beyond that Wait wait wait wait How far were you for the little kids birthday party? Like And how many of you were there? It was me and my way, Sally. And how many of them were there? There was probably like 10 of them.

So they were kind of on the other side of the shade. And they were, I don't know, I'm bad. That's 50 feet away. Okay. Something like that. And then beyond them was a group of people playing ukuleleys. I was like, when I sat down, I was like, we got to move. But then they were playing covers and they were really sweet and, like, soft.

And I was like, this is really nice. They're not singing. Yeah. They're just playing the. Bonnie there. How many people? I want to say five. There's,

tomorrow is my children's year-end concert at their school. Oh, cool. There's a music department and every grade does, or like, kindergarten, grade one, they're just playing drums. Yeah.

Grade one, grade two, grade three, recorder. Grade four and five, that's ukulele time. Yeah. And then there's a band. for the older kids. And I looked at the set list and it's, it is a World Cup themed. Oh, sure.

Take me out to the ball game. But you take the strike apart out. And so my daughter's class will be playing on ukulele, Waka, this time for Africa, by your girl, Shikira. Okay. That's great. Yeah. That's great.

Can the school of mascot come out and do like a little belly dance or something to it. That would be fun. That would be fun. The school mascot is a big inflatable Shakira. It's a big foam rubber Shakira. They're the fighting Shakira's.

I feel like in a movie where there's a dad who's like having a midlife crisis or whatever, it's like practicing the guitar a lot. There's not a lot of movies where like somebody breaks out the old trombone and does some of there.

from their childhood or tuba or whatever I guess because it's only you only play certain notes as a trombone Yeah Could you play a whole song I guess though

On a tuba Or a trombone A trombone Yeah you could definitely Yeah Well I'm Lou I for sure Have you played the trombone

Game on the Nintendo I remember yeah There's like a trombone hero Yeah It's called trombone champ It's based on guitar hero Yeah And it's

Every song sounds terrible. It's very fun. Yeah. Yeah. I saw a clip of an interviewer asking Prince what he thought of a guitar hero. And he was like, I guess it makes people money, but like, they should just get a guitar. If you want to learn how to play the guitar, just learn how to play the guitar. Well, Prince is wrong.

What happened to those games? They were absolutely took over the world. Yeah. And now do kids not? Are your kids into it at all? Yeah, my kids are obsessed. Oh, really? Well, and I guess they're still doing great.

No. What are we talking about? What happened to them? They're in your living room. No, my kids are not into them. I don't think they've sold them in like, do they still sell them for, you know, have they sold them since PlayStation 3? If you go down to your local Salvation Army.

They are falling off the shelves there, yeah. Yeah, that is strange that it could be so, so. so popular and then, because things that are popular, always stay popular forever. Yeah. Lubuos will stand the test of time. Yeah. Digit spinners. The board ape.

Remember board eight? Oh, board ape. I bought my house with a board ape. The difference is. Straight up trade. Yeah. The difference is I liked guitar here. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was so much fun. And then there was not only the guitar. There was drum. And was there anything. Rock band was the full.

Singing, drum, and guitar. Sing star. Oh, singing, right. Sing star was a game. Oh, I think what happened was the Hells Angels stabbed a few people. They were wearing their patches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guitar Hero.

Yeah, it's, uh, yeah, I don't know. It's one of those things like, uh, my nephew, I don't know if I talked about this. Like, it was his birthday a couple weeks ago, and he got a Pogo stick. Oh, I was like, a Pogo stick. Oh, what? Where do you even hear about a Pogo-Sick? And they look really fun. You can't get on it as an adult.

You'll drive it right into the ground and break it. Yeah, my kids had at, they had the, that, like, thing that you spin it, you attach it to your ankle and you spin it and you hop over. Was it called a Boppet? No. It was called a Skipchamp or whatever. Boppet is the, is the, bop it, flip it, spin it. twist it. Yeah.

But what was it called? It was like a jumpy skipball. Yeah. Basically a skip ball. So this kid playing with this Pogo stick. And then I was like trying to explain to him what a Pogo ball was. Oh, yeah. What's a Pogo ball?

Oh, David. A Pogo ball is a. It looks like the planet Saturday. Oh, I know what a Pogo ball is. Yeah. What a perfect description. but like describing it to a kid who's newly got a Pogo stick and those go so high.

Yeah. Because a Pogo ball just, it was like a small bounce, right? Yes. The listener can't see, but I'm just gesticulating my hand on and down. You're driving a very small ball. But it's like, I had one and it sucked, I think. Yeah, you couldn't do tricks on them or anything like that. You couldn't get very high and you would get, your body would get all.

shake it up and you would get sweaty. Yeah. It's funny. Like, I just, you know, like when I was kid, I, in elementary school we'd play marbles for some reason. It's like pre. What? Yeah, I know. And it's like, why did we do that?

And then it just makes it sound like you grew up like during Gangs of New York time. Yeah. We played pogs. We were pog guys. Yeah. That era. I kind of missed Bayeblades. I'm too old for Bayeblades. I play. Was a Bayblade. I don't know.

Are they things that spin around? They spin around. I think they spin around. I think they're like spinning pods. What about tech decks? Oh, Tech Dex. We had kids in my high school who were into tech decks.

They probably never graduated. I don't think so. I remember playing crocanol with the princess of Monaco. Telling my jokes to the OPEC leaders, getting it all on video. Is this a Motsie for this? It is. What I was at the King of Spade.

Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, they're still good, they're still good. Carmen San Diego. Oh, I was listening to, I can't remember another podcast. It might have been Evil Man, where they did a bit of a deep dive into that, the dark, or the deep voice guy. From Rockapella. And it turns out he's like, uh, what was this?

Like a sex expert or something like that? Like, he's like a sex facilitator. He's got, he's got a giant lawn. braided kind of rat tail Yeah Still? Yeah, from what I hear I bet he's really good at sex

Yeah, well that deep voice Yeah You know that fair assumption He's probably all like Oh Mbop Did your boat yet? No, fam

A guy from Ragabella If you have to ask No The answer is no I didn't boop Yeah, so park days back on it a big way. Also, as it's the end of the month. How many beers do you bring with you for a park sit?

I brought two. Oh, okay. Yeah. You're not finishing a six-pack. No, but like if I go to a barbecue, those rules go at the window. Oh, sure. You know, once it's just in the cooler, I'll just drink whatever I brought kind of thing. But my view in my apartment looks out on an alley.

And this time of year, especially in the warm weather, people are dropping off their junk by our dumpster. Oh. I saw a guy do it the other day. It was helpless to stop it because I was upstairs. I couldn't have done anything. What would you have done to stop them? Hey, don't.

Get away from there. Put it in the next block. Yeah, exactly. Put it on the road. I don't care. But yeah, there's been a lot of that going on. Projective of your dumpster? Yeah, I think we, I think our, we've got a healthy relationship with our dumpster.

I don't put anything untoward in there. But do you, and so people are putting it, putting their junk next to the junk? Yeah, next to the. Because they want, they think, oh, this is maybe someone will want this. Yeah. But it's kind of, you always put it by the garbage. So I think anybody was like, yet it would be like, oh, this is garbage. I have a neighbor who put stuff out.

what should be the like like a time limit of how much time like if no one picks us up in blank you throw it away. I would say if it's is it nice out or is it stormy out? Stormy out as soon as it's wet. Yeah, I agree with that.

Storm is a deadline. Yeah. But I would say in sunny weather, I'm thinking like, I'm thinking maximum kind of like like a full week. What have I told you forever? I've got some people who there's a Christmas wreath that no one wants.

For months there was a treadmill. Oh yeah. But it was up on its side. It was vertical when like it looked like a person with their arms out. And so I would every time I was, went by the, like, turn the corner and I'd be like, there's a guy. And then...

Is there a spot that everybody's doing this house? No, it's just this person at their one house where they leave stuff outside. And then there's another person on the other side of the alley who has a bunch of mirrors they've put out that are now broken. Yeah, you can't have the neighborhood kids that way. No one wants now. That's so much bad luck. Isn't that seven years bad luck? Yeah.

Breaking a mirror? Yeah. Oh, man. This neighborhood is in for it. Yeah, I think we all bear the burden of this person. You guys have all seen the video of the robot trying to, uh, when it sees itself in the mirror and it runs into the mirror and smash it and then falls on the ground and does that kind of thing that the robots. You guys have all seen this. No, I've never even heard that.

Maybe my algorithm is it's so much jack and potatoes. I saw a robot this morning who was like at a theme park in China and then he just kicked a kid in the chest. The kid Fell over This is the great time to be alive When robots are still funny Yeah We can all have a good laugh

In a few years It'll be like A robot kicked a kid in the chest Yeah It's been happening a lot Yeah There's the other one that did All the Michael Jackson moves

Did you see that one? I think that might have been it Yeah But They didn't do all the Michael Jackson Moves did it And they're like We can't prosecute this robot

We don't have the laws yet. A robot went to trial. It got up on top of a limo. It was wearing a hat and, you know, masks and nobody would recognize it. But, yeah, I mean, if you haven't seen any of this kind of stuff, Google it, there's so many of these clips. Yeah, the guy kicking the kid. There's also the guy who's invented the robot getting kicked in the face. Yeah.

Seems to be a real kicking problem This robot. But also they just, the one that smashes the mirror is so funny Because as soon as it sees itself, like, runs for it. Like a dog would do. Yeah, it reminds me of all the, like, videos of people wearing, um, uh, virtual reality masks and then, or headsets. And then they punch their, like, they're just in their living rooms,

like, punching their elderly grandmother. Smashing TV screens. Yeah. Do you guys want to move on to some overheards? Yeah. Sunscreen companies calculate SPF by testing it on volunteers' butts.

Overheard. Overheard. The segment of the show where you get your chance to tell us those juicy, juicy things that you over here out there in regular life. And we always always like to start with the guest. I apologize. Dave, do you have an overheard? Well, I... Oh!

Dave M. Go ahead. Oh, I didn't even know what was happening. I thought maybe there was business to be done. Oh, no, no business. No. Shut up, Graham. Time for my favorite part of the show, The Other Dave.

Yeah, so I haven't overheard. I haven't overheard from last night. I was at the Mumford and Suns concert. Oh, okay. Where was that? It was at Rogers Arena. Sure. Yeah.

And it was pretty good. It was a good time. Everyone had a good time. And the opening act. What kind of music would you, what would you classify what they do? Stomp clap, I feel like. Yeah. It's from the stomp clap.

Variety. Yeah, okay. Yeah. But honestly, like a very, very good show. I enjoyed it. Yeah. And the opening act was really good. She was this really good artist whose name escapes me now, which is great.

But in between each song, she was doing, like, you know, the standard, like, talk to the crowd thing. But she would do just sort of, like, sort of banal platitudes. Like, but that were somewhat deep. Like, she started the first song she plays, then she goes, everybody. I just want to say, piece in the Middle East. And the crowd, like, obviously, like, is excited about that. War, always war. And then she plays her second song.

And then she goes, and then she goes, you know what? I just want to say, there's no such thing as an ethical billionaire and billionaires. And the crowd goes, like, wild again. And then, you know, third song, and it's now, like, corporate greed. We got to get rid of corporate greed. And then she's, like, cuts to, like, the very end of her set. She's done her last song. And she's like, remember everybody, drink water.

And that was it. That was her big finishing message for the crowd. Drink water. Yeah, that's the real message. Stay hydrated. We sneakie, you know. Yeah. We get you a nice and supple.

Also, the stadium's probably like, mention that we can sell water. Yeah, yeah. Tell them we can buy water. Yeah. Are they know? I, well, I was thinking about the Harlem Globetrotters this morning. Yeah, as we all do. Have you seen them live?

No. You? I've just seen the Washington Generals play. Yeah, yeah. I can just follow them. Playing the Warriors. I was thinking about how they have sweet Georgia Brown is their song and it's like, that's so cool that a team has a song. That is cool.

Yeah. And when you were saying, what kind of music is that? This morning to myself, I went, hey, what kind of music? What would you call sweet Georgia Brown? What genre of music of that? And so I looked it up on Wikipedia, jazz. And I was like, yeah, of course. Stupid idiot.

It's jazz. But just it say jazz in brackets, silly? I thought it might be ragtime. Oh, ragtime, sure, sure. But I honestly don't know what you would classify that era of, you know. musicians, like the... The sort of stomp-flap of Monsters of Man. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bluegrass. Like, their first album was very bluegrass, I guess, because they have a banjo and a lot of strings. Now, what are these guys called again? Mumford and Sons? Mumford and Sons. Marcus Mumford is the lead singer of that band. And the other guys are his son.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And so, according to Wikipedia, they are folk rock, alternative rock, indie rock, Americana, Country, Bluegrass. I disagree with like three of those They're not alternative rock They're not alternative rock

No They're not really country No I would say they are Americana they are But they're British They are British But he spent some time in Los Angeles

Oh sure We all have Yeah I think as a child He moved to Los Angeles I've at least listened to a podcast Where he was interviewed recently And I just want to put on a record I'm not that huge a fan

I'm watching Yeah, but you guys know this guy, Noah Khan. Oh, yes, I know Noah Khan. I saw him live at the Invictus games. Oh, with Chris Martin and Nelly Furtado maybe? And Katie Perry was there. And Prince William. Who is this person?

A Kepequa rapper. Oh, really? Yeah. Which was, by the way, it was so crazy because they, the stadium is filled with, like, veterans from, like, actual war. And they had the Ukrainian veterans who were just on the front lines. Oh. the war in Russia and they show up to stadium and then they have to watch a Kebacroa rapper do a rap with these children they get to watch and

Luca Lazy Lakes Petrelli was there the Kebacqua break dancer who you are familiar with clearly and just to watch these battle-hardened Ukrainian soldiers watching its Kebacua rapper they're all weeping oh my god that was almost as good as watching Katie Perry really blasted out of it. But Noah Khan, what would you call him? Was he, I'm going to call him folk rock as well. I'm picturing Noah Bombok, which is not what we're talking about. He has a couple of pop radio singles.

He was on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago. A few months now. Season of the witch? Season of the sticks? Season of the sticks. Oh, I know that song. Stick season, actually. Yeah, stick season.

And he is now playing B.C. Place Stadium. Really? Whoa. He has sold out BC Play Stadium. He's doing stadiums now. Damn. That's crazy.

There's like five artists who sell out of stadiums. Yeah. He's apparently one of them. That's actually unbelievable. Who are the other four? Oh, I would say Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. Beyonce.

Beonce. Red Hot Chili peppers played BC Place Stadium, actually. Yeah, I could see that. Anybody that appeals to multi-generation. Yeah. No, there's probably. There's probably dozens. 10 or 20.

But the lion's selling. every weekend, right? They're there. Yeah, if we got a baseball team, we'd have to give up the lions, I guess. The baseball team could have that stadium. Yeah. I was, I was, uh, do you know the Vancouver Warriors, the lacrosse team? Not personally.

Okay. What do you think their, their cap is for their, uh, like, what do you think is, is their salary cap for the Vancouver Warriors? I mean, if it's anything like me, no cap. It is $400,000 for the entire team's sales. For the entire team? The entire team. Not individual.

The entire team. That's awesome. It's unbelievable. For the full team, I love that. Sorry. Can I do my overheard? Yes, you may. I'm sorry, man.

It's okay. I forgive you. And you did nothing wrong. Well, I want to apologize to the Warriors. I don't want to blow up their spot. They're cool guys. So this is my overheard is an overseen. Okay.

This is something that just showed up in my Instagram feed. Okay. But it made me laugh. So we were talking about Noah Khan. We were talking about Mumford and Sons. Do we all know Hozier? Oh, yes. Yeah.

He has a song with Mumford and Sons right now. Yeah. It's a good one. So this is just some couple of influencers, content creators who showed up on my feed somehow. And just a video is happening in the background, different shots. and a Hozier song is playing

and the words on the screen are a moment that felt like Hozier's yell and then it's the man proposing to his girlfriend like this is what you're reducing your

proposal to? And that moment felt like Hoosier's yell okay he'll take his whiskey neat um yeah What is his song?

I know who Hoosier is. Take me to church. Oh, yeah, that's right. And I'll take my whiskey neat. Yeah. Man, that moment felt like Hoosier's yell. When you proposed to me. Yeah.

There's only one way to say it. It felt like Hoosiers yell. Does he even yell that much in his song? Well, they played a song. It was pretty Hozier Yellie. Yeah. Okay. It was probably their song.

Sure. My overheard comes courtesy of the movie. theater. I went and saw smash hit Obsession at the movie theater. Did you see Backrooms yet? Not back rooms, but I had to go see Obsetion. Why did you have to see that? Because

it's got, it's the only film that's gotten more popular, the longer that it's been out. Yeah, it's killing Grogu. It's moaned out Grogu. It was made for under a million dollars and it's made $110 million so far. Oh, that's always a fun thing. Yeah, yeah.

It seems to happen in horror every five years, ten years. Yeah, where it's just like, and this guy had a viral video on YouTube. What was it, Damn, Daniel? It was what, uh, so-and-so bit my finger. Numa Numa Numa, what? Numa, new-a-numa man. Hey, it might have been Numa Numa, man. But this movie, so scary.

Yeah, so scary, so much fun. So you've got to see it in the theater because everybody's losing their mind. I'm going to see it right now. I want to see both as me. I want to see back room and I want to see obsession. But there was a guy, and I don't know if he was told to do this,

but like a guy that worked there, when you entered the theater, he just kept telling everybody, good luck, good luck. Like, I guess it's going to be so scary. Yeah. And then as you bring a diaper? When the lights went down, he made an out, I thought it was somebody in the crowd, but he made an announcement. He's like, good luck.

Your mom isn't here to save you. I was like, this guy rules. That's awesome. I don't know anything about this movie. And I don't want to. It's just. Is it so scary? It's so scary.

It's so. I shouldn't go. I'll be too scared. No, it's more, it's less than scary. It's more. like, gives you irksome?

No, it's like... Yeah, is it irksome? It's not irksome. It's, uh, um, like, what would you say? Like,

it gives you this kind of, unciral, like, it's very unsettling. Yeah, yeah. And there's no, like,

special effects, really. What I don't like about horror movies. Yeah. Is seeing them in the theater, it's like, I see movies in the daytime, but I feel like I go to a lot of

I feel like I would have to see this at night. Then I'd have to drive home in the dark. Yeah, that's true. What if it's fine? What if obsessions behind me? Yeah, I won't tell you anything about it, but the plot is very, it's very clever. And this is a guy he made his first movie for $700. And then they were like, hand him of, you know, like a full $1,000.

Let's see how he does. with a thousand dollars. Pretty soon he'll be playing for the Vancouver Warriors. Let's make him general manager. But anyways, I don't know if this was an usher going rogue or he was told that he could do that or whatever. He's just having fun. He's just having a blast. I want to see backrooms as well, but I mostly want to go up to the ticket seller and be like,

one ticket to crooms, please. So he knows you're cool. One for crooms. I think it was Brent, but had a friend who was a comedian who had a joke that he would do every time they were at a movie theater, he'd go up to the box office and be like, does this movie have Madonna in it?

And they'd be like, no. And then he would turn to Brent say, you still want to see him? That's an awesome gag. Yeah, good gig, fan. Yeah, it's good to have an ongoing gag. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Like George Clooney. He's got gags galore. Him and Richard Kine. But of all of his jokes. The rat pack of our generation. Richard Kine and George Clooney. That's right. How do you round up that brat back?

Well, there were apparently like he had 14 friends or something. Yeah, the million dollars. He gave them all a million dollars, but they had to all agree to take it. Otherwise, no one gets it. Yeah. Billy Bob Thornton did the same thing with his blood. He's like, oh, they ain't 12 friends. Here's my blood.

Yeah. But you all have to take it. You all have to marry me. You all need my blood. Now, we also have overheard sent in by people all over the world. If you wanted to send one in, you can send it into SBY at maximum fun.org. Now, this first one comes from Carolyn from Fair Oaks, California. Hi, Carolyn.

Go ahead. At our neighborhood pub. overheard one waitress loudly telling another about a party she was going to. She said, I'm so excited. It's a Golden Girls theme party. No, wait.

Spice Girls. Well, I can do either. Either way's good. Yeah. I'd be Arthur in a Union Jack dress. Scary spice. Yeah, one of them would have to be left out because there's only the...

There's four golden girls? Four golden girls. And then, you know, maybe somebody could be Stanley Spornack, who is Dorothy's ex-husband. Yeah, or like David Leisure. Oh, yeah, yeah, just like from, yeah, they're the dad from FD. Or just get rid of Posh. Yeah.

Well, Ginger laughed, right, for a period of time? I know, but she's iconic. She is. But Posh wouldn't do the reunion. No. She also doesn't do much singing in the band. That's true. She's a big part of Spice World.

the movie, though. That's true. Yeah. We can't think of that movie without her. One for Swirled, please. Hey, boss, this is a cool guy's buying a ticket. Front row. Free popcorn. This one is Tim in Vancouver, and this will relate to your story, Dave.

I was at a white caps match, and my wife and the man sitting next to us ate a fully loaded hot dog in two bites. Oh, that wasn't the whole thing? Nope. Good. He also ate his partner's hot dog because she said it was grossing her out. You know what, eat that's on talk too.

And then they left their seats at halftime when they came back. You guessed it. He's got another fully loaded hot dog. And says and houses that one too. I've never heard that phrase before. Oh, really? Yeah. He housed it.

I love it. You should be eating your partner's hot dog on a regular basis. Isn't that right guy from Rockapella? Hello, guy from Rockefeller. Here's how you make your partner, bow. And this last one is an overdreamt. And, you know, I love an overdraft that's so boring. Sometimes people send one in and I'm like, no, that is interesting.

That is like, could be interesting. But this one is from Kirsten from Owen Sound, Ontario. I was explaining to a co-worker the science behind Sensenine toothpaste. I think it just has more fluoride. Yeah. There's a lot of misconceptions out there about the toothpaste. That's really good. I've been hearing for years about like some kind of

medicine that will regrow your teeth. Oh, yeah. Like, not a home medicine, but like there's, where is it a home medicine? I don't know. Like, they've just been doing tests. Like, I just keep hearing, oh, they're doing tests of this thing that'll regrow your teeth. Wow. That would rule.

That would rule. My dad had a tooth fixed that they, like, grew. They took a piece of his tooth and it, like, grew and it, like, grew, and a big enough to, I don't know what the process is, but it was his own tooth there he was getting to put back in. Maybe this is the thing you've heard so much about it, Dave. Yeah, who could say? Call me, Mr. Clark. Yeah, Dad, if you're out there listening.

Like these people have. Hi, Dave, Graham, and amazing guest. This is Christina from St. Paul, calling in with an overheard. Last weekend I was walking out of a school as they were getting ready to start a jiu-jitsu tournament. And there was a family walking in mom and a dad and three little boys. And the middle boy who looked to be about six years old did not look very excited to be there. And I heard his mom say, well, you've got to find what you're passionate about.

But until you do, you're training jujitsu. That's it. Thanks. Your father did it. Your grandfather did it. And the more you get pummeled, the sooner you'll find what you're passionate about. Really motivational. Saxophone.

Only someone being beaten near to death would choose saxophone. But Yeah, of all the martial arts, I think Jiu-Jitsu is the funniest sounding of it. It's taken over. It's like the only martial art now, I feel like. Yeah. Because it's what?

It's like a rogen. It's the rogan style. Yeah, it's the rogan style. I'm wrestling rogan style. Yeah, when you watch kung fu movies, they refer to it as Rogan style. It's in a Wu-Tang song too. Oh, yeah.

The one that Martin Shrelly bought. Yeah. They are in, Yeah, there are like vans outside of my kids' school to pick up kids and take them to Jiu-Jitsu. Yeah, I've seen the van in the parking lot next to the Jiu-Jitsu school. What's it called? It's Dutch of the B, right? Barra. Barra. Yeah.

Yeah. Here we go. Hey, Dave, Graham, and guest. This is Trevor Cawley from London with an overheard. I was walking down the street and I overheard kid behind me say, ah, we're in London. And they took a beat. And they said, no French he's allowed. Whoa.

Off I go. Hey, they were allies in World War II. Is this London, England, or London, Canada? Oh, yeah. Because both could feel bad about French people. Like, there's, like, Ontarians. They don't like the French all the time. Oh, there's Paris, Ontario as well.

Oh. Saskatoon's the Paris of the Paris. Yeah, that's true. Every time I say that, I get a laugh out of somebody, the things I'm making that up when I say Saskatoon's the Prair Paris of the prayers. Like, ha ha ha. Clearly they've never walked down the

Champs de Lisein. There you go, see. Is it mentioned in Wheat Kings? Do it mention it in Wheat Kings? And I think it was originally Bob Dylan that said it because there was so many bridges. Wow.

Yeah. Bob Dylan is fucking blind. We go. Go to go to one of the famous bridges in Saskatoon and put a lock on it for our love. Yeah. And then it freezes off. Yeah. That's great. And then you dump your septic tank over the side and it's, there's no ill effect.

You just go on your merry way. At that moment, it just feels like Hozier scream. And finally. Hey, Dave. Hey, Graham. A possible guest. This is Forrest calling in from Portland, Oregon, wasn't overheard.

I was just at my regular coffee shop waiting for a breakfast sandwich, and a man walked up to another man sitting at a table next to me, and the guy sitting down and said, hey, what's up? Any up? And the guy walking up, spun in a circle,

gave his friend's finger guns, and said, I don't want to brag, but I got shingles. No freaking way. You know, you know, we've been talking about doing it. I went ahead and got it. Yeah, it's, have you ever known somebody that got jingles? Yeah, my brother. My dad and my dad as well.

My mother-in-law. Yeah, my sister-in-law and. Everyone raved about it. My house, my house has shingles, right? People say it's among the most painful things. Yeah. David Letterman had it famously. Do you remember that?

No. I'm going to get it. It happened. Ripley's believe it or not I think we have to wait till we're 50 to get Yeah To get the show We're not allowed that sweet

Sweet vaccine That sweet shingricks Yeah I'm uh I think like when you're 50 you get a lot of medical things you got to do Yeah they were gonna make a real year of it They were Because like you're supposed to get your

Colon Looked at Yeah They keep raising that age though Like Yeah well they No I think they're lowering. Oh, they're lowering it? But it's like there's such a, like, they can't lower it

overnight because everyone, right. You were supposed to be 50 and now they're saying to do it earlier. Oh, really? And you know what? If you have $700, you could get the guy from obsession to do the little camera work in your butt. You couldn't need that much money. A thousand dollars now. We established his rate has gone up. Um, uh, well, that brings up. How maybe I don't want to see this movie. Now Dave or David Yes We're reaching the end of the show And I believe you have some dates upcoming

I have some stuff that I'd like to promote When does this come out? This will be the eighth-ish All right, all right, all right, all right So one of the big things I want to promote Is Comedy Bingo Okay Which happens at LMG

Little Mountain Gallery I think you've been a guest on Comedy Bingo I haven't there for that one But I heard it was good It's a very confusing show. For reasons that don't make sense to us, it actually sells out, like almost every time. But we're thinking of doing a bigger room now, so please come down to Comedy Bingo. You should talk to Noah Khan. He's been selling out bigger rooms.

Yeah, we're thinking about doing a B.C. Place. I got a show and some weird barn in Delta. That's July 25th. Tell me about Comedy Bingo, though. What is that? Comedy Bingo. So, it combines, like, the very worst aspects of Bingo with the most frustrating aspects of comedy. Yeah. And it's just a great time. Is there audience, like, does the audience try to win? Oh, yeah, there's bingo going on. It's hosted by past guests, Brent Constantine, who I think your fandom thinks is a handsome man. And so they can see him being handsome.

Yeah. And then I'm the judge and that there's comedians on stage who riff, bingo balls are flying. There's great games within games. It's just a fun time for friends, family. When Brent first told me about the idea, I said it would be a complete failure, and it's now a year or so of going pretty well. I think you're handsome, too. Oh, thanks, guys. Yeah, yeah.

It just occurred to me we haven't taken a picture. Let's take a picture. Let's take a picture when this is already. Yeah, yeah. And then you'll get a bunch of comments saying he's not handsome. No, I was misled. Thanks a lot. No, wrong, exclamation point.

Then you're playing a barn of some sort? I'm playing a barn in Delta. with, I'm opening for Simon King. It's a yuck, yuck's show. That's August 14th. Sorry, I got to go back. July 25th. I'm going to be doing hecklers in Victoria.

Okay. Check it out. That'll be a fun time. I think you said the barn show was on July 25th earlier. Yeah, that's wrong. Okay. August 14th is the barn show. Check out the barn in Delta.
