Hi, he's Dave Shumka. And he's Graham Clark. And together we host. Stop podcasting yourself. Hello, everybody. And welcome to episode 9. Hello, everybody. Welcome to episode number 954 of Stop Podcasting yourself.

My name's Graeme Clark. And with me, as always, is a man who was kind enough not to point out that I just screwed up a take, Mr. Dave Shumka. No. Yeah, I didn't screw. I didn't point anything out. And no one went, p. Yeah, which is lucky. Um, yeah, hey, how's it going, man?

Good, good. Yourself? Oh, boy. This is the, as this comes out, this is the end of June. We're into full July mode. June is kicking my yayos. I can't wait for the Fourth of July. Oh, boy.

Canada, then Fourth of July. Flag day's got to be in there. I take me off the grill. Put those weeners on it. That's right. And you know what? Another shrimp on that Barbie, you know? Mm-hmm.

And hello to all of our listeners down under. We're so appreciative that you're listening all winter long. Yeah. And I mean, that's probably a break and your usual break dancing schedule. Australian being the king of breakdancing. They did have that wonderful ray gun. We love her.

Our guest today, returning guests to the podcast, they call her the Raygun of Canada. Very funny comedian. It has an album coming out soon. It's Rachel Schaefer. Hello. Hi. Thank you for knowing I'm the Raygun of Canada. Yeah, yeah.

Was her name Rachel? Is that how she got the nickname? I wonder. I wonder. We'll have to look into that immediately. Yeah. She, that I feel like if you, you know how those puzzles that you have, Dave, that are like the 90s or the 2000? I feel like she would be one of the characters on the 20.

The 2020s. Her name is Rachel Gunn. Wow. Oh, okay. So the nickname was right there. What do you think about Rachel with the A.E? Oh, I hate it. Yeah.

But also it would be insane if I had that because my last name is Schaefer with an A.E. So I actually can't be too judgmental to the Rachel's with the A.E. Because I'm doing it in the back half. Yeah. But it would be so obnoxious if I was an AE, Rachel. Schaefer is one of those names that has like 10 variations. Yeah. There's sometimes a C.

There can be an AE, 1F, 2Fs. Oh, it's a mess. And yeah, it's a, first of all, mine's a C, and then an AE and then 1F. The people hate it. S-C-A-E? I have no business trying to get into that. Has there ever an eye that gets shimmied in there? I've never seen an eye get shimmied in.

I think what it is is there's so many different spellings because it's a German name and it begs to have an umlaut in it. But thank goodness no one's keeping that when they come here because you're a German stock, yes. Yeah. Don't say people are of stock. It sounds very like livestocky, like very farmy. I do have this tag. But you are of German stock.

I sure am. Um, is it, would the umlau be on the A? I believe so, yeah. Nasty. Rachel. Yeah, not on the Schaefer. It's just every accompanying first name has to have an umlau when you were named Schaefer. Um, now you.

Let's get to know us. Get to know us. We were talking earlier, just before he started doing the podcast, that you are now a bartender at brewery, a server at a brewery. You work at a brewery. You're just one thing that we're all the same one thing there. Oh, I see. We go to the tables and people order beers or they order snacks and then we go and we pour the beers or assemble the snacks. You pour your own beers?

Yes. It's the easiest job in the world, this brewery. Okay. It's easy. We don't even tip them because it's so easy. In fact, it's probably really fun for them. It's really hard. It's really hard and unpleasant.

And we should be compensated accordingly by the place. public, actually. Is the brewery? Now, I'm old. I'm sort of a chopped unk. And he's a, no, he's a gray fox. I'm sort of a silver fox. He's a fox stock, this guy.

I'm a fox stock. When I was a young man of 32, that was the peak brewery time. That's when they opened them. That's when they, it was, they had jugs, whatever they were called. Oh, groullers? Growlers. Yeah. You can still get those.

And you would fill up a growler, you'd put it in the basket of your bike. That's right. What a quaint time. Of your fixy. Yeah, you would go listen to Mumford and Sons on somebody's lawn. You know, wear suspenders. You know, wear a wooden bowtie. Yes, yes.

Oh, gosh. You would, you know, you'd decorate your wedding with, instead of vases of flowers, you'd use. Just mason jars with pinklets. Is the brewery industry still? Brewing? In Vancouver, it's very alive and well, but it's been FIFA, so we've been getting, like, some tourists. It's actually been, like, really quiet throughout FIFA, but... Are you shown the games?

We don't have TVs, and I love it. I love it. But we've had some tourists from, like, Europe and some from Eastern Canada, and people from Ontario are telling me that Ontario is not doing growlers. And they were like, you can do the whole province and do growlers? Well, maybe it's just I talk to two guys with their eyes closed all the time. So maybe they don't know what they're talking about. Please weigh in.

But I haven't seen a growler in over 10 years. I've seen one because my brother's an investor in a brewery. Oh. So he brings over a big growler. My brother's an investor in a brewery. What's weird about that? Your brother's an investor. He's like the money man?

Yeah, he's one of the money men. Yeah, and it's a very popular brewery. This is the first time I'm even hearing you have a brother. He's got two. You have two brothers? Yeah. You give off big, only child. Yeah, really?

I'm just kidding. Yeah, you're always talking tantrums. Yeah, there are any tangions. Talking to people older than me. Yeah. We're in those suspenders, that wooden bow tie. Man, now I yearn for that time, now that we're like, just like brought up all the stuff from that era. Oh, yeah.

I thought you were going to. I yearn for the time when I was an only child. I probably did for those first two years or whatever. Oh, yeah. What, okay. So how, I really just want to know, how many growlers are you selling? Are people, you bring, you buy one and you bring it anywhere? Yeah, you.

Any place will refill it. Any place will refill it. We'll refill anybody's growlers. I would say, people are definitely doing it more than you think, but like less than would be annoying for me to fill them because it's the longest thing to do. How big are they? Four liters? A 1.9 liters, 1 liters, or 473 milliliters.

Oh, that's not very big at all. Yeah, you can get it. No one's getting those, honestly. The tiny growler. That's a tiny growler that is one beer. That's like a key chain. That's like, yeah, that's somebody who's very committed to the environment that they're like never buying a can. Or they just want to drink and bike.

Or they want a drink and bike. Yeah, the, um, uh, any growler. It's bitty bitty. I never love that. 473 milliliters, I believe. That's just under a regular Coke, right? Like, is it a Coke 500 milliliters? Yeah, Coke is about, you know, 500 milliliter Coke sure is.

Absolutely. A 333. They sold them in a 180 something. I don't know. Yep, these look great. Stanley makes an easy, poor growler. Did you ever like them, though? Because I feel like the beer was always room temperature.

No, the beer's great. great and we support all breweries and some of us have brothers who are money men. Hey, big spender or suspender because he started back in those days, you know, back in the good old, I guess. We got to get your brother on. I want to know how, like, his portfolio. Yeah, I want to know, does he get dividends? I'm so distracted by this picture of the Stanley Growler and I want to make this a PSA.

Please don't buy one of those. How come? I really want the Growlers to be clear. It's going to make it easier to pull. pour, you're going to get a little bit more beer from the brewery. Because there is like a line that tells you, like, stop pouring, like, just fill the growler to this line. But all of us are just trying to fill it as much to the very top as possible. Well, you can tell by this person with a sleeve tattoo pouring it from, like, from a tap that

they do not have a line because it's overflowing. Yeah. But it always will. Like it's the, because the foam, it fills up, you watch it slowly fill up. It's oddly satisfying. You watch it slowly fill up and like the darker part is beer. and then there's a lighter part that's filling up that's like an inch above, but it'll get bigger and bigger, and it's foam. And then you let the foam overflow for like a long time as the beer level gets up.

And then you stop once the beer level gets right to the top. But then the foam will foam again. It'll do like a little double foam. You let that settle. And then you like fill it to the top again. And then you take it out. But if they've got this opaque Stanley one, I don't know what's happening in there. Also, they're never getting it clean.

Like if you can't see through it. If you can't see through it, I don't trust it. Yeah. Some breweries they go to, they've got a bunch of, what do you call them? Taps, I guess. Yes. That aren't labeled. Like, I feel.

Oh, yeah, ours aren't. And then people are like, how do you know? There's a little tag along the side that says, like, one to 12. And it's telling me what they are. And then we've got a little elastic on the seventh tap. So I know that, like, that's the seventh one. And you just kind of. But then I honestly don't use the little.

label tab that much because you just start to remember. And we're not saying the name of the brewery because we don't want our listeners to visit you. That's what? Sure. Yes. What is the brewery? It's brass neck. And now I'm like, wait, do I not want people to visit me?

No creeps. Only fun people who don't want to talk to me that much. Stay back in the basement where you belong. Yeah. Creeps are famously great listeners too. Just fun people who don't talk that much. Yeah. I'm people who can tell when I'm busy and don't want to chat.

Do they have a kitchen there, or is it? No kitchen. There's like a sister restaurant. Cheese sticks? There's, oh, I wish we had cheese sticks. There's a sister restaurant, the magnet, and they make all of our snacks, and then we, like, assemble the snacks. Okay. So there's no kitchen.

No kitchen. Any comedy night happening there? No breweries. Yeah, there's a couple breweries in the city that do comedy nights. And now that I work at one, I'm like, comedy cannot inform. trade here. The good thing is... Any musical open mics

because I've got some originals. Ooh. We'll get a special night just for you. I can't wait. All right. Yeah, Dave sings the blues. Will. Anyway.

I'm imagining that, like, video of Kim Ketrel from Sex and the City. And I'm imagining you coming to Brass Neck for one night only and you're just scatting it up. She's not scatting. She's reciting a poem. Yam and Kippiegetto. said a rapeusayvato in Douglas. Wow. Why do you know so much about this?

Okay, this actually gives it way better. Okay, amazing. It's not famous. It's famous from that. That gives so much important context. I can't believe she doesn't shout that from the rooftops every day because the world thinks that she was doing the most in the clip. In the clip, she says, my husband plays a stand-up bass and while I recite beat poetry. Do you want to, do they do it by themselves in their house?

Yes. Oh, that's so. crazy, but I kind of love it, that they found a thing that they can do together. I loved it when I thought it was scatting, and I love it this way as well. But the world is so embarrassed on her behalf on that clip, and I can't believe it's not common knowledge that it was a poem. This is revolutionary. It's certainly embarrassing regardless of. Yes, yes.

But you know what? But with an important distinction, I do think. It's not embarrassing that. Because that scatting would have been insane, which is what I thought it was. It's very actor-brained to think, oh, yeah, sure. Come over and film me on a regular night where I do this crazy thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's the most actor thing I can possibly imagine is you thinking, like, the people are going to love this.

Have you ever been to a party where... And we do. We do. Yeah, but she thinks they're going to love this in exactly the way that I think they will and want them to. Have you ever been to a party that turned into a sing-along where it's like somebody gets on the piano or... Get bust out the guitar and everybody. Yes, many. Well, that's what every guy with a guitar at the party thinks is going to happen.

Oh, they're hoping. They're hoping. I've dodged a lot of sing-along parties. Well, that's the hard part, too. It's like even if the sing-along doesn't happen, but there's a guitar like waiting in the wings, we're all on edge regardless of if it happens or not. We're a little bit distracted. I mean, I'll talk about the elephant in the room right there.

It's an acoustic guitar. And you know what I was hoping you were going to bring it up? Let's go. So you're working, you're pouring brew dogs. Pooren dogs. You're out of the wedding industry. I'm out of the wedding industry. Yes.

The wedding industry could suck it. Well, you know what? You say that now, but if that brewery goes under, then you're back to it. Actually, I have all these marketable skills, and we'd love to work at your company and sell your dresses and talk to all of your moms in a way that is respectful and also not overbearing. What's the, maybe I asked this on the last episode you were on, what's the craziest dress? So you sold wedding dresses? I sold wedding dresses. And it like, it was fun.

And you invited our listeners as long as they were creeps to come by. Yes. Yeah, only creeps, please come by. Let me touch your skin. What was like the craziest pattern? Like, were they custom or were they just off the rack? It's like a, it's kind of an in-between version of that. Like when dresses, they are made to order.

So you come in and you just try a sample and then you order your dress and it'll take like six to eight months for it to come in and then you've got to get it tailored. But like people can, but it's still like you're picking out of what exists and there are some customizations you can make. But there's limits to those things. But sometimes people come in, they're like, it's made to order. Can't I just do whatever the heck I want? And we're like, no. And that's for your benefit because you're going to pick something. insane that you're not going to be able to see with your eyeballs

until six months from now and then you're going to hate it and then you're going to be mad at me and I just simply won't allow it. Right. Especially if you get something that's just of the moment, you know, like a ray gun style. Yeah. Just the Raygun track suit. Do you guys sell that? You sell the green tractsuit with a kangaroo on it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an eight-month back order. Absolutely. We can make that in white for you. That would be good. Yeah. A little wedding hat. There is like... There is a... It is a trend of people getting like, instead of getting like an reception dress for their dancing, they think it's like cool and chill to get like a white sweatsuit to wear instead. And in theory, yes, that would be very fun.

But so many of these brides are getting married in summer and it's like so hot. And then I've heard so many stories of brides being later being like, I thought I was a cool chill bride and I got a sweatsuit. And then I was drenched in sweat and begging anybody to trade outfits with me the rest of the men. It was so hot. Well, fortunately, many of the guests also wore white. Perfect. I liked, because Duleep, I think, had four weddings. And if you know, we don't know yet.

But she wore a big hat at one of them, and I thought that was a lot of fun. The big hat was fun. Yeah. That was like the city hall. Yeah, the suit, like the wedding suit. Did people, now, I mean, forgive me if I asked this before. When I was a young man of, I'm sort of a chopped unc at this point. I have heard that about you, Dave.

I'm sorry to say. But back when I was a brown fox, quick brown fox, and I was known for me jumping over a lazy dog. I used to watch this show called Say Yes to the Dress. Yes. Phenomenal. Did you watch the show? I saw it off and on when I would get babysat by my gray dance because I did not have television and they did. Back at Gray Gardens.

Yes. You didn't have television? We had a television and it did not have any channels and we just had like movies. Oh, I thought you were literally saying making fun of how choppedunk I am. No. But only old ladies. No, that was my life. Did you, when you worked in this bridal shop, were you expected to know references to this TV show,

were the customers like, I say yes to this? Yeah, yeah, was that the catchphrase? Oh, yeah, did they set them out? Do you say yes to it? Yeah, I do. And then you, well, okay, so then you get that, you think that that's just like a silly gimmick of the show, like a catchphrase of the show. But it does get really hard to get people to finally decide to buy their dress. Right.

So you kind of do have to be like, are you, but I'm not like, are you saying yes to the dress? I'm like, please friggin say yes to this dress so you can stop making follow up appointments. You like it. Make a commitment. Yeah. Is it always, because on that. show if there was always the mom and the friend and the cousin. Yeah.

Same, same thing. And every bride realizes that it's like the worst way to try to buy a dress. And then most of them end up coming back alone. And we go, yes, we'll come back. We knew you would come back in this way. With the moment we saw your parents or your, I don't know, many dads are going. Well, I have. Sometimes it's just the whole family.

Really? Yeah. There's, you see more and more dads now. You see more and more fiancies now. It's fun. Isn't that the super bad luck for the fiancé to see? I think in certain cultures it's not. And now people are being like more chill in every culture.

And now I would say like lots of people are bringing their fiancys now and people don't care as much. You know what is bad luck? When a raven shows up at the bridal shop. Do it was part of your job, the bridesby? like, I'll take this, but two sizes smaller, because I'm going to starve myself. And then you have to say, don't. Yes. I, yes.

So many people. Because people usually fall in between two sizes. And then I'm like, order the size up because either way, you like, even if you were landing perfectly in a size, you're still going to have to get it tailored once it arrives because it's like a, like, you know, it's formed to the shape of at least your torso. And so you will need a seamstress to, like, pin it and make adjustments, even if it looks like on the size chart that it should fit perfectly. So when people fall in between you, I'm like, get the size up. Because you're going to be at a tailor anyway. Like, there's no world in which your dress shows up and just fits you perfectly anyway. So, like, you can take it in so easy.

You cannot let it out. Right, yeah, yeah. Just know you can't let it out. But baggy clothes are really in, too. That's true. Actually, I'm going to have five sizes up. Totally. Just swimming in giant tops.

Is every dress that you sell, were they all white? There were some colors. There was some colors. There was a pink one. There was a blue one. Okay. My wife, Abby, got married in a pink dress. Love it.

That was made to order. No, I think she just went to a seamstress and asked for a dress. Like, she described what she wanted and the seamstress made it? Yeah. That's really fun. That's like, that's another thing that can be scary, though, because you don't get to, like, see it before you embark on the process and invest in it. But it sounds like she loved it. She looked great.

She did look great. To this day. She looks great. And she wears it still just around the house. Yeah, okay. She's got something. She's got a brain disorder. She's constantly, it's her wedding day.

That would be, that holds water. It's like the Adam Sandler movie, but that every day has to be her wedding. Yeah, 51st weddings. Weddings, yeah. That would be, everybody, come on, let's get on this. This is a good idea. Okay, so she's got, she's been hit on the head with a coconut. Yeah, on her wedding day, where she was left by Adam Sandler.

Oh, yeah, left at the altar. The altar was under a coconut tree. So they, it is kind of a bit of Groundhog Day as well. Will she convince him to stay? Oh, he's, he's, Adam Sandler's in it. Oh, yeah. He could be... He's coming back for...

He left her at the altar and he comes back every day? Oh yeah, I guess that's right. It's not the same. Who's got the brain disorder? What have they both did? The coconut bounced off both their heads. It's the family that has to throw them a wedding every day.

And the like, you know, board of mental health is trying to get this movie banned because it is so wrong and unhealthy. Okay. So we're done with beer. We're done with weddings. Yes. Yes.

You have a special coming out? I do have a special. A special and album. A special an album coming out where I will talk about the bridal store a little bit. And yeah, and I say if you want to hear about the worst things moms can do, that'll be on there. Nice. And what's not on there, but I do want to say as a PSA, stop getting your weird acupuncture before you go to your bridal appointments. We don't want to see those weird circles on your back.

It's freaking me. It's freaking me out. Please, wear sunscreen the week before you come to the bridal store because I don't want to deal with your spooky sunburn blisters. Stop making me zip up your dresses on your weird acupunctures skin, your spooky sunburn blisters. I don't like it. That was a passion. I've been holding that in for years. What's the name of the special?

What's the name of the special is I've never told anyone that before, which has proven to be. be a problem because a lot of comics have asked me like, oh, what are you naming your album? Then I go, I've never told anyone that before. And they go, oh, shit, okay, like, sorry I asked. I'm honored. I'm honored. You're going to tell me what it is? No, they're like, they think I won't tell them. They think I'm, like, keeping it a secret, like a pregnant couple who thinks that everyone cares what they're naming their baby. And they go, no, we know, but we're not telling. So, yeah, I go, I've never told anyone that before. And they go, oh, yeah, I get it. Yeah, keep it private.

And then I go, no, that's what it's called. Yeah. I will say as a pregnant couples, keep those names private. Oh, right. Yeah. The names, sure, because if you tell people the name of your baby, but your baby's not out yet, then they think, like, I can change their mind. I hate it and I can change their mind.

Or they'll react like, ugh. But if they see a baby and they're like, oh, Jasmine. Yeah. It's already got the name. With two Y's and E and then four Zs. E, I, G, A. But genders of your baby. Like, if you know the sex of your baby, just tell everybody if they ask.

Nobody really cares. Well, they might be. Sometimes people are like, ew, boy. Are you sure? Yeah. But what are they going to do? I can't change it by poking at my belly a bunch. No, as far as I know.

Yeah, as far as I. I don't know the side of the doctor. Neither are not. The doctor says it's a boy, but I'm trying to poke it back. Yeah. You can make that penis and ninnie. And then it just kind of becomes a girl. Works for me.

That was too gross. Is this the first special slash album? Yeah. This is my debut special slash album. And I'm getting too precious about it and too granular about it. I thought we shot it in February. And in my head I was like, yeah, this will come out in late April. And now we're almost in July.

Yeah, I do we're almost in July. It's been a very fun process. but editing, there's always more you can decide to drink. I don't know how musicians or like painters, how do painters decide when a painting's done? Oh, isn't that it? My cover art for it is like very simple, and I wanted it to be quite simple,

but I've been staring at it on my phone for weeks just being like, what if I moved that word a millimeter that way? Or what if I moved the picture a millimeter that way or zoomed in a millimeter. What you need to do is start working on your next special, and then you'll be like, let's get this one over. Yeah.

Yeah, I need to stop, I need to stop caring about this one at all. What's the cover art? Because I just realized this the other day when I was looking through a bunch of albums on Spotify, every comedy album has a picture of the comedian on it. Most of them do, yeah. Like silver chair, like a frog or a baby in a swimming pool.

You know what I mean? Like not every album has like the band stand. Yeah, I should release my debut comedy album Frogstomp. You've been sitting on that one for years. Two fresh is about it, James. What is the cover, if I may? Yeah, for sure. It's when, before we, like, shot the special,

we did, like, a little, like, photo shoot to get a picture for the poster to sell tickets. And I brought a disposable camera with me to that photo shoot, because I used disposable cameras a lot in my regular life. I just like the look of those pictures And I like that it forces me to like Not be able to take a picture more than once Like on your phone Right

When you take a picture that you want to take you just take like eight for no reason But this I'm like I click once And then sometimes the person If I got somebody to take a picture of me with a disposable camera They're like should I take another And I'm like no that's the whole are you crazy Yeah But you were blinking

To the photo shoot and then we just took a bunch of pictures Yeah if you blink you live with the blink Yeah That's what it is So it's a it's a picture of me And I have sunglasses and I'm like flipping my hair in a weird way and then we turn the picture sideways So it's kind of hard to tell if like the picture was taken of like me on the floor or standing in a room And then there's just like kind of like simple and you're overthinking this yeah

I know it's there's still time to change it you know I'm an idiot So there's no release date. No release date, but please follow me on Instagram because I'm sure it'll come out so soon. And then you'll be the first to know. This is the problem of being an independent creator is you don't have anyone telling you giving you a deadline. I'm doing it with 604 records and they're just being too nice to me. Someone send them your letters and be like, start being mean or Rachel Schaefer.

Stop being nice to your artist. Just accept that they'll cry when you yell. It's going to be good for them. No creeps. No creeps. No creeps. Don't send creepy letters. Just fun people.

Hey, fun person here. Just was wondering, and I don't want to say too much here. You seem like you have time to talk. So here's my letter. You say you like disposable cameras. Where do you get your film developed? London drugs. Yeah.

Is there anywhere else? There might be an independent camera store somewhere. Oh, yes. And I should be doing that. No. A lot of drugs is great. There was that big camera store on Broadway and Yukon, but it closed. Oh, shit.

Is lens and shutter still open? Is blacks still open? Do you remember black? I do remember blacks. Do you remember their jingle? They had two. No. And a two.

And a three. I mean, it was the same words. One was, uh... Is it just Kimber-Trell doing that poem? Yeah, I'm gonna get a yayd is that a ready for sale. Um, it is... It is... Wait, no, lens and shutter was lens and shutter was

lens and shutter, click, click. Oh, nice. Click. Blacks was Blacks's photography, guaranteed. Nice. And then there was also Blacks's photography. Blacks's? Blacks.

Blacks. But Blacks is photography? Is that what you're saying in all of these? Blacks is. Oh, Blacks is. Yeah. Oh, it sounded like it was like blacks and then apostrophe S. Blacks.

Blacks. Oh, yeah. That would change it a little. I was, I mean, one of those. At least we're talking about it. We're talking about it. One of those classic misheard lyrics. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I used to think it was, excuse me while I kissed this guy. I used to think it was Black's photography. Smoke, what is it, smoke-covered Walter, the fire engine guy? Yeah. There's a. No, slow-motion Walter, the fire engine guy. That one I've heard. Oh, there's a bathroom on the right.

I mean, we could do this all afternoon. I had a little book of them from the, humor section of, you know, Dethy's books. The humor section in a bookstore. We talk about it all the time. It is the craziest. Did you ever buy a book from the humor section of a bookstore?

Someone bought me a bunch of books when I was a kid. Like, they was like yearly at Christmas time. I would get like the follow up book of this thing. And it was Rosie O'Donnell's Kids Are Pony. Anyway, then it would be Kids or Pony too. This is,

I haven't thought about this in 20 years. This just brought away. And it was just a book full of children making puns. So it's not even really jokes or riddles. Yeah. And Rosie O'Donnell just put her name on it. And Rosie O'Donnell put her name on it. But really, it was the kids.

So I don't even know what she, I don't even, there's no way she curated. Kids are funny. And that's a fast read, I imagine. You've done that in under 20 minutes. Were any of them pituties of any kind? Some cutie puttoosies. Some ugly patooties. Yeah, the pitudies, yeah.

Some mid-patootis. Rosie O'Donnell, I just saw her. She's in London? She's a Londoner now. I think she lives in another country. Interesting. Yeah. Was she going to be in something?

Was she on a play, in a show, in a movie? She's taking over for maybe Jimmy Kimmel when he's on a break. Yes, really? And when he moves a show to London. Yeah. And I wonder. Did the cooches come with her? Did she have coosh balls or is that just only for her show?

What are cooches? That's right. I forgot you didn't have a TV. I didn't have a TV. Oh, this. So how did you know who Rosie O'Donnell was? I see her in my dreams. I thought I made her up.

Well, my aunts loved a league of their own. Rosie O'Donnell on her TV show, Rosie O'Donnell show, she would, one of the classic bits is she would just have. So coosh balls were these like rubber balls. had frilly bits. Yeah, they were squishy. There were squishy rubber balls. They were like, you know, if they existed now, they would be like a fidget toy, some kind of sensory thing. And they had, she had a launcher that would launch them into the crowd.

Yeah. It was violent. They were violent. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And her show was like a late night type of show, but in the afternoon. Okay. Had the desk and the monologue.

Had the desk, had a, like, cityscape behind her. Yeah. God, it was a good show. Yeah. So if people got those afternoon sleepies, she had to slingshot stuff into the crowd to kind of wait everybody up. Yeah. I'm sure they shot it at 7 a.m. So she had to wake people up.

Yeah. When, yeah, a couple years ago, Graham and I did a great bonus episode where we watched a bunch of Rosie O'Donnell shows. Because she did this thing every day where the guests would be, whatever the guests are, she would make a rhyme. about them and it was just in the theme song and it's like two second bit like it would be our guest is Rachel Schaefer and I really fucking hate her I guess

This is the version of the the Jennifer Hudson Spirit Tunnel Yeah oh yes yeah got it got it And Graham and I went through a bunch And tried to guess based on the guests Yeah It was a good episode I think we released Did you get any right?

Yeah Yeah we were always My family So Rosie was going very first thought on a lot of these. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. She had to do this every day. Well, no, she had to.

I think she got a kid to come up with a pun for everyone. This was an interim job. Like, I'm really twy. I'm really twine. I'm a real comedy, whiteo. They had like, I've made it. One of the guests was Gary Marshall and then like a, you know, Felicia Rashad was one. Yeah.

Well, what rhymes with Rashad? Well, I thought, I thought it was fraud. She's a real fraud. But it was a Halloween episode, and I guessed, like, we're going to be scary with Felicia and Gary. Oh, nice. That's good. Yeah, she's, Rosie Adel, she's a national treasure. I will, this is the way that I'll get into watching Kimmel's.

I'll get in the Rosie O'Donnell way. This is going to be your intro to Kimmel. And when he comes back, you're like, this isn't the show. Jimmy Kimmel's got Rosie O'Donnell on it. Is Rosie O'Donnell interacting with Guillermo, the security guard? Oh, yeah. Yeah, Jimmy Coles had some pretty good bits over there. Remember reading me and tweets was pretty funny?

Yeah, it was his uncle. Who was his uncle? Oh, yeah. He died. He died, yeah. It was very letterman, just having, like, regular people on. Yeah, he's kind of letterman. The other thing we wanted to talk to you so badly about is your shirt you're wearing is the

The Miley Cyrus Bangers, it's from her album, Bangers. This is from a tour? This is a tour shirt? I found this at the thrift store. I bought it at the thrift store, but I deserve to have this because I love Miley Cyrus. And I've loved her forever. And I may be her original fan. That's bold.

I also just wasn't. Did you know that she's also Hannah Montana? That came out recently. I have. Did you know she's the little. girl and big fish? No. There you go.

I win. I've made it. All right. No, I don't know if I was her first fan. But I was really into her when I was in high school. And I was very mad at everybody when they were mad at her about the Antevovitz photo and then the twerking. What was the Anne Leavitt? She was like 14.

It was. And so they were taking her picture for, I want to say it was Vanity Fair, but it could have been Vogue. I feel like it was Vanity. Fair. They took her picture and she's like shirtless but not in like a sexual weight. Like she has like a sheet like up to her and she looks like very like angelic. And the she got in so much trouble for being shirtless when it's like she was like a child on a photo shoot set. She does look like it.

She looks like the little girl from Les Miserables. Just the poster. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cosette. Cosette. I think so.

I don't know who is Who's that little girl Is it Cosette? Yeah, I think it's Cosette. I believe so. Yeah, and then the picture I always associate with her is her with What's his name?

Thick, Robin Thick. Yeah, no, who's Alan Thick? That's right. Oh, yeah, when she graduated on Alan Thick, everyone was really mad about that. So that shirt is from Bangers, which features We Can't Stop and Wrecking Ball. Actually, we can't

stop isn't on a Miley Cyrus album. It was just a single? That was a Will I Am song that she features on, I believe. Am I insane? Please tell me if I'm nuts. Maybe we're confused. The singles off of bangers, the first single was we can't stop. What?

Am I crazy? What was I thinking of? And then wrecking ball and adore you. The, I believe, But We Can't Stop was written for Rihanna. Oh. And this is something that the biggest fan of Miley Cyrus should know. The original.

That's true. The first fan should know. Oh, yeah. So actually, I didn't lie. I was the first fan. Then I just dropped right off in the knowledge department. No, there, yeah. Okay, I don't know what I was thinking of.

Oh, there was a song called 22. Maybe that was the one that was the land song. But, you know, I'm. Or was it 23? What's, what? Nobody loves you when you're 23. What number? What number did Michael Jordan have?

It was 23. The song was 23. I'm not a sports fan. Does she remember Michael Jordan in it? Yeah, she's wearing a jersey. That I believe is Will I Am's song. And then that's, I think, what I was thinking of. Are you thinking of Mike Will made it? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. On that whole album, I feel like on almost every song on bangers, yeah, Mike Will made it, produced it. And at the beginning of each song, it goes, Mike Will made. Yeah, he's known for that.

Um, it's, uh, it's, um, that shirt looks like a retro like, like it's so, it is from the tour. It's from, but it's, it's like, it looks like the kind of thing that they make a new shirt to look old. Totally. Yeah. That it's, it's authentic. Is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, the dates are on the back. Oh, well, yeah. Oh, right.

I understand what you mean. Like, did it, did it look faded when the person who first bought this? I don't think so. Well, I can't, I can't tell us. No. I didn't go to the show. I honestly, I did this weird thing when I was growing up where I just kind of was very, like, ignorant to the concept of concerts. I didn't know.

I just, it took me so long to realize that if you liked something, you could see it. And I was so unaware. Did you live on a farm very far away from everything? Yeah, I didn't. What the heck was I doing when I was a kid? I was so oblivious. I didn't have TV. I didn't know about concerts.

I swear I thought I was normal at the time. Yeah. I don't know. Do you remember when concerts were like 30 bucks? Yeah. I do. That was nice. I feel like I saw a couple of bands.

I never really went to any stadium concerts when I was a teen because I didn't have 30 bucks then. I have 30 bucks now. But 30 bucks won't do you much good. It won't. Yeah. And it was just like a thing that was like, oh, it's like, you know, more expensive than a movie, but, you know, you're not going to bankrupt yourself. Yeah, yeah.

You wouldn't, like, travel to a different city and spend hundreds of dollars to see an artist. I think, now that I remember correctly, my first concert was a tsunami relief concert. And I think it was, like, three days grace and sub-41 and Avrilavina, like, Bernicchio, like, they would all come out and, like, do, like, three songs. And so maybe this is my explanation now. Maybe when I was a kid, I just thought, you have to wait for tsunamis to go to concert. Oh, yeah. That's probably it. When's the next natural disaster, you say?

Yeah. I didn't go to a tsunami relief concert. My first concert was a gas relief concert. So they did like the B-N-O-P-D-E-K-Kee, Al-Qa-Zelter, Plot, Fizz-Fiz. There's a great comic. He doesn't do so much comedy now, but Sean Lawrence, my favorite joke of his is about, like, seeing the Peptobismal band live. And they just keep playing the Peptobismal song over and over again in different genres.

Is that not doing it justice? I'm not doing it justice. Yeah, absolutely. Diarrhea. And then doing it all that. All sorts of different. Yeah, doing like a SCA version. Love that.

Do you know which past guest of the show has been in one of those ads? Oh my gosh. Yeah. Mark Chavez. Mark Chavez from the Sunday show. I see that for him. Yeah. He looks like he may have gastrointestia.

No, he is not the guy. Somebody around him has it. No, he's got his life together. Wrong. He is the guy. Oh. Because. We bring that up.

He's in like an office kitchenette and his stomach makes a noise. and he says, it's nothing. Oh, okay. He does this. puts a fist on his diaphragm. That's the dream commercial. Maybe I didn't think maybe it was like, boll, you know, like, he also does the Spanish version.

He's like, no, it's not. That's so fun. And you get to hear the Peptobismol theme in Spanish. Oh, yeah. You can't do it. I can't do it now. Di Rio. Because in Spanish, diarrhea is masculine.

I fear you've just changed my life, Graham. I feel like any time I say the word diarrhea, I'm now going to have to say it exactly how you just said it. I think, yeah, I think that's just made its way into my permanent book of it. Diario. So you went, that was your first concert, you know what I mean? Yep. What was the first concert where you're like, I love this artist.

I'm going to go see them. I have to go see them. Oh, that's a good question. Where did you grow up? I grew up in Deep Cove. Nice. Just, you know, just that one long bus ride made me feel very separated from the rest of civilization, I suppose. Deep Cove is separated even from North Van, isn't it?

Yeah, it's where transit goes to die for sure. Oh, sure, yeah. Yeah. I don't know what concert would have been my, like, first thing that I would have been so excited to see. You know what? I might have been new pornographers. I feel like I saw new pornographers, like, a bunch of times when I was, like, in my early 20s at, like, the Vogue or the Commodore. And then I...

Some Nico case hair. Today. It was in, it was in braids last night. So I could pretend to be at a Renaissance fair this morning. I was late for the podcast, everybody. And she wasn't even doing an audition. She was just making pretend that she was at a Renaissance fair. Yeah.

Just pretend you're in the Renaissance at that point. Life is what you make it. You could just be in a Renaissance fair. Have you ever been? No, I never have. So that's why I make them myself every morning. Yeah. Would you if the one was on offer?

I guess. You'd have to really? I guess. I wouldn't be opposed, but I maybe wouldn't be like, I can't miss this. The new pornography they're playing for in the summer. Well, yeah, in their in little suits of armor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They've made all their songs into old-timey.

Like they're playing a lute. Yeah, and they're doing like a, you know. And they're doing like a, you know, a big scroll from an occupant. A degree from an occupant? Nice. And no further. I know. Yeah, we've done.

Redmonded. Didn't have anything to jump to you from that. Boy, mass romantic would be mass, like, socratic. Yeah, mass-socratic. No, that's not the Renaissance. It's just a method for me. You know, from around the way. Dave, what's going on with you?

Well, we're having a great time here. We're celebrating World Cup every day. Oleg, Oleg, O'le, O'Le. Are you a soccer person? I'm a soccer ball. Yeah. Oh. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, that's why you look so familiar. I'm made of a series of white and black patches. Oh, I saw it. I've got a bladder filled with air. I saw a video of a small factory in India that hand-man. makes soccer balls. They like, it's like a guy

that stitches them together and they have to like inflate a balloon to the, you know, the size of it. It was fascinating. And apparently

they're the best soccer balls in the world. Amazing. Where do you get them? Can you get them? We can't get them. Oh, they're very expensive.

They're ones that are like supplied to the World Cup. Yes, I think so. Yeah. Have you guys ever played foot golf?

No. No. I did this for the first time this weekend. You know what? I thought I wasn't an athletic person, turns out, just hadn't found a sport yet. Foot golf is phenomenal.

It's, you go to a golf course. I think there's only one in Vancouver that offers it, to the best of my knowledge. Seems like the demand is low and I don't know why. Okay. Because it's phenomenal. Eagle Quest in Coquitlam. You have to call them, you have to get a tea time like you're a grown... Like you're golfing, like you're a grown up with a shiny polo shirt.

And they tell you what time to come. And then, and we thought in her heads were like, probably there's not a huge... 2 a.m. For foot golf, probably, yeah. Yeah, they never do like disco golf like they do it. After hours. Edults only golf. No, I, yeah, I thought that we were like, oh, probably there won't be many people there, probably won't be busy because probably not a lot of people are doing foot golf.

And, yeah, we were right. No one's doing foot golf except for us. However, they put you on the regular golf course. You are in between the golfers and they all hate you. And they deserve to because you look so stupid. So you have a soccer ball? You rent a soccer ball. And each person has their own soccer ball and you kick from where the golfers take their first swing.

Yeah. And then there's the green with the golfer hole within the flag. And then like 20 feet away, like just like off the green is a different sad little yellow flag that denotes that there's the soccer ball hole there. and it's like a big bucket that's built into the ground. And then you do your kicks and you count how many kicks it takes you to get it into that little thing. Oh, yeah. And you, yeah, you just look like a silly, silly child. And the golfers are so mad.

They've got to hate that. They've got to hate it. I love it. I would never do it because I don't want golfers to be mad at me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So fair. But it's, uh, that sounds. Like the kind of thing that like, you know how pickleball people are taking over tennis?

Yes. I feel like that would. All the foot golf people are coming to golf. Yeah. It's delightful. It seems fun. It was so fun. I like kicking a ball.

But then I was there with like a bunch of people who like none of us golf. And then like whenever we got it in, we'd be so excited. And one of my friends would do that like kind of like high pitched lady excitement sound. But it's like, ah! And then I would land to eventually be like, you can't. scream on the golf course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They hate us enough just for being here.

We're ruined. I was like, all I know about golf is from what I've seen in movies, and it's always someone talking while someone takes their first swing and them being like, not even a whisper, Paul. But it does feel like the kind of thing that, like, if you can't get the golf ball in the hole, if you cannot do the motion, that you're going to be, it's going to take forever. Yeah.

A soccer ball. You can probably just roll it in. Yeah, the barrier for entries is just so long. You don't really need any skills. Yeah. Huh. You get it in the sand? Yeah, who cares?

Yeah. And we did. I kind of wanted to get my feet sandy today anyway. Did anybody kick it up in the air and then head it into the green? We would have to be able to do that. Sure, yeah. So absolutely not. So this is a thing that not, it doesn't just exist there.

It's a thing that exists in other cities. Well, it exists in one place that we know of. We learned about it in this one place. And now I've, you know, I had assumed that it would be a thing elsewhere, but now I am realizing maybe it's a thing they invented by accident. Now, did it happen, like, in a dream? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was hot that day. Foot golf is a hybrid sport, according to Wikipedia. There's a guy standing on a green next to the flag. The governing body is the Federation for International Foot Golf. There's a governing body. Fifth God, they call it. Who's the champion in the world? Lion Forest.

That's a tiger world. Yes. That was fast. Eagle Quest Golf seems to be the place to do it. Okay. Foot Golf Canada. Two sports and one. Let's kickstart this new something.

I feel like that's going pretty far to say two sports and one. It's really not taking anything from soccer other than the equipment. Yeah, the ball. Yeah. Well, that's great, and that's what's going on with me. Right. When I was at my parents' house, this is, so like for a while, the, you know, you'd have a golf cart.

That would be like the way to not walk on the course, right? Then they had remote control bags that like you could just steer. Really? Yeah, so that you don't have to like pull or push them. And now they got little motorbikes that they like drive around on that have. Oh, that's good. Yeah, it was cool. But I was like, they're really giving up on the whole walking.

Well, professionals have to walk. Yes. You're not allowed to take a thing. Yeah. But you can have someone carry your bag. So that's, yeah, that's true. So what's going on with me is, last week, I paid a visit to Vancouver's newest mall. Whoa.

Oh, yeah, I can't wait to hear all about that. Is that like where Oakridge was and now there's something new in its place? That's where Oak Ridge was. And now it's called Oak Ridge. Oh, okay. So there's this gigantic, for people not from Vancouver, there's this, well, it was a very good mall. for years. I loved it growing up.

It was my local mall growing up. Had a movie theater? It's where I saw League of Their Own. Yep. Where I saw Little Man Tate. It's where I saw Jeff Goldblum as the tall guy. Little Man Tate. It's where I saw Home Alone.

It's where I saw Jurassic Park. Oh, nice. And it, but it doesn't have a movie theater anymore. That movie theater became a crate and barrel. Oh, yeah. Okay. And then they tore down the entire mall to build this. community. It's going to be

like living spaces and there'll be a community center. There's like towers that people are going to live in. Yeah. There's going to be parks. Oh, like it's this huge. It's been going on for years. And it's been, yeah, years in the making. But I think they had to and they will also have a mall.

Yeah. And the mall is not ready. Nothing is ready. But I think they had to like meet some kind of contractual thing. Right. open part of the mall. Okay, so the mall itself is not, it's not complete. The mall is so incomplete.

Oh, wow, how incomplete? The mall used to be you could, it took, you know, half an hour to walk through. Sure. Now you could do it in five minutes. Oh, wow, okay. No, 10 minutes. But it's, I had to go, the crate and barrel never closed. And I ordered some bowls from crate and barrel, and I had to pick up four

Bowls. Okay. Because we already had four bowls from Crayton Barrel and we were like, damn, these are good bowls. We want more of these bowls. Yeah, yeah. Everybody gets a second bowl. And you could have them shipped, but if you pick them up, it's free.

Nice. You could save on the shipping. Oh, I would get 10 of them. They only had four. Oh, shit. So I went, I got my four bowls. Then I was like, I'm going to walk around the mall. The mall is now only luxury goods.

Yes, I did hear about that. That it's very, very high-end stores. So it's, you know, Louis Vuitton and Prada and Valentino. Who do we think we are? Is this going to get it? There are enough people? I guess there are enough people.

Well, it's not the kind of mall. Like, there's the accessible places for a guy like me are crate and peril, Sephora. What type of restaurants would be in their food? I was just going to say, is the white spot still there? Because if you're going to Louis Vuitton, you're not going to the white. The food court is a timeout market, which is a high-end food court, but it's like a high-end food court. But it's like, very expensive.

Yes. So there's nothing to, the mall doesn't exist as like, it doesn't practice. Like the reasons you would go to a mall for like back to school shopping, you would never go to this mall for that. No. Yeah. Or like. I got a hat at lids. No.

You could go to, there's a sports store. There's, um, what's it called? Uh, it's a sport check. No, it's like sport check. It's sporting life. Sporting life. And it's, uh, they're good. Okay.

That's like, it's like sport check. So, you know, you need a new, um, foot golf ball. Yeah, yeah. Soccer cleats for. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't call soccer balls, soccer balls. Yeah, they're foot golf ball. They're foot golf. They're, um, they're, they're, I saw this documentary on how they make the world's best foot golf balls. They make them just down the road from this other place. And it's like a lot of it is walled off of like areas you can't go to. Right.

Oh, the food court though is like they have local like Michelin restaurants have their own like kiosk. Wow. And like what? There's a wait. What? That's crazy. There's a really expensive restaurant. in downtown east side called Pigeon.

Yeah. And they have a, like a, whatever you call. That's a fancy menu for Pigeon. This is ridiculous now. This feels like he's making it now. I walked past it and I was like, oh, they've got like, oh, this is just $8. Those were just the appetizers. The main courses, the first one I saw was like a foie gras rice bowl and it was $42.

Oh, my gosh. In a food court. This is blowing my mind. You know, it's a, but the weird thing for me was the food court was packed. Sure. But like who, this isn't, no stores are open. Like, there's no reason to be there. There's no, like, it's not like a center where a lot of people work and are going on their lunch break.

Yeah. It's just for foodies to go and they have time to go to all the Vancouver's Michelin restaurants at once. Yeah. They don't have to drive around. And they're, um, it's on the Skytrain line, so that's good. Yeah, at the airport, he used to have this kind of mini food court, and that's been taken over by one singular restaurant.

So if you don't like what's in the restaurant, you're shit out of a lot. It is like a very nice airport. Okay, yeah. It's like all the high-end stores and nice restaurants. Everything's duty-free. It sounds like I'm all just for browsing, like just for curious people,

to browse. No, it's for people who don't think twice about spending thousands of dollars on stuff. Yeah, Nicholas Cage, Michael Jackson, these things. Right. Nicholas Cage comes to Okers for his shopping. I have heard that yet. Yeah, yeah. It's, I, I saw that there was a line up around the block on the first day

to get in there and we love lining up for them. Oh, my God. We do. We love the line. Give me a little chotchky to, to, um, like, fob for the transit. Pop for the transit, yeah. There were people lined up for what must have been like half a kilometer of people to get a soccer ball shaped bus pass. Oh my gosh.

People will line up for it. I mean, like Popeyes opened and people lined up like crazy Jollybee open and people lined up like crazy. Yeah, that's true. Have you been a Jollybee? I have not. They've got these. Do you remember McDonald's pies that were deep fried? Yeah.

They've got those, but they're not Apple. They are peach and mango. That sounds pretty good. That sounds really good. Yeah. Check out Jollybee. Is it? It's also on the same.

It's two stops away from Oak Ridge. Yeah, the, well, I want to see this mall, but I want to see it when it's completely. Yeah. I mean, I feel like completely is going to be years. But they're going to have a safe way. I was just wondering, is there a big kind of anchor store or whatever that's, so. So they have a Safeway. They're going to have a Zellers.

They have a lot of Gucci. They have a dollar store, but everything's $100. It's $100 store. But it's still the green and yellow. It's the same stuff. It's just like a high-end little like squeezy grabber. Yeah. They have, yeah, the Safeway is on a lower floor.

Apparently that lower floor is also open. I didn't see that. It's for the riffraff, the lower floor. Yeah. Yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe if you're walking in front of the street level, but you have to go down. Basement of the Titanic.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to have, it's, it will be funny to see if it has, like, regular mall stores or, like, a kiosk to fix your phone. Where? I did see two grand pianos just out in the open. One was self-playing, and the other one was just sitting around.

Come on. anybody sit down. We can have a sing along. Were they in proximity to each other? So you just like duet with the self-playing one? They were, you would be able to hear the one from the other. But one was just playing chopsticks. Yeah.

Part and soul. You too. The, so yeah, it remains to be seen. Will there be any, will there be a Julius? Will there be a New York fly? For a liquor store that's two blocks down, we'll move to the mall. That's going to move to the mall. So that'll be fun.

Yeah, that'll be. Get drunk and go. buy a, you know, Leweve bag. What are those shoes that have the red sole? Lebutton. La Bhutan. Yeah, Louvitton. So did you buy anything?

I bought my four bowls from pottery barn. Oh, that's right. You went to go pick that up, but no other. And I went to, they had, uh, the food court has Boku Bakery. What that? Boku Bakery is a nice French bakery that has nice croissants. That sounds pretty good. Um, and they had, uh, they had one there. And so I got.

Picked up my kids some chocolate croissants. Nice, lucky kids. They are. They really are. Anyway, check it out. It's a mall. Malls are back. I mean, I don't blame them for trying a high-end mall because regular malls are diet.

That's true. Yeah, fair. Yeah. I was in a regular mall just this past week. And it brought me back. It brought me back to the old, because I haven't, like, I haven't been to a mall. Did you go to Pacific Center? No, this was in us.

This was a mall connected to the hotel I was staying. Oh my God. I went to Pacific Center this week just because I needed to, I was downtown. And I needed, I got off the sky train and had to walk through the mall. And as soon as you walk in the mall, oh, that smell. Yeah. It's very nostalgic. It's like Cinnabon and Body Shop.

Yeah. Yeah. Like I had, I had New York fries, which you can't, as far as I know, you can't get outside of a mall. I don't think there are any freestanding New York fries. Can you get them in New York? No. It's just called fries. Yeah.

Yeah. That's a Canadian-only. Yeah. It's like our, another Boston pizza. A Canadian-a-Mall brand. There's, yeah, what are the Canadian-only mall brands? Colonels. Carnals.

Marvelous muffins. Marvelous muffins. There's, I feel like there's a chariote. I was going to say, there's definitely a Japanese restaurant that's maybe even Vancouver only. Is it Edo or? Yes. I love them. I think I said it wrong, but I love them nonetheless.

Yeah. I think is that just like. Like terriaki bubbles, but they're doing it right. They do it right in front of you. Yeah, that's my favorite. I get the beef one. In every food court. Yeah.

The, like New York fries, the gravy, gluten-free. So did I go? couple times and get their putteam? Of course I did. What a delicious treat. Anyway, so that was my mall experience. What's going on with you? Well, that was my mall experience. As I said, I was in Saskatchewan. Now, they called that the, wait, what city were you in?

I was in both. I was both in Regina and Saskatoon, which is. They call that the Paris of the Prairies. Yes, they do. I have heard that. Have you been to Saskatchewan ever? And they called Saskatchewan in the province, the France of the Prairies. Yes. I don't think I've ever been to Saskatchewan now that I think about it.

It's not like, I don't know what would bring somebody there. The debaters usually. The debaters usually, yes. Well, we did, we had to do this show in Saskatoon and then in Regina. So there's a bit of a drive in between the two and on that drive. There ain't nothing. That is, it is just flat. And you could see the sky.

They think there's not a lot going on. You could say your dog ran away. The prairies freaks me out. I think because I've always lived in Vancouver or North Vancouver, like I'm just so used to being, like, surrounded by mountains that it, like, I've been to the prairies before, and it was so, I was like, how does anybody know where anything is, and how does anybody not feel like, I mean, obviously, okay, I hope real people who are agoraphobic wouldn't be offended by this,

but it feels slightly like. They're not coming out of their house to get you. Yeah. They're not going to visit you right here. I dare you. It'll be good for you. But it doesn't make it feels just like. It's just too open.

I feel like, yeah, I feel like I couldn't live somewhere where I don't feel like I'm getting like hugged by hills all around me. This, because it's so flat, the sky is spectacular. Too big. It's very big.

It's, uh, it's nice. It's not, it sounds nice, but it sounds like whales are nice, but they're too big. big. Okay.

All right. You know what? This could be a catchphrase. It's too big. You're going to, your new album. It's coming up more sign-fielty every time I say, it's too big. Comedians are asking me what my special is called. I tell them, it's too big.

And I get confused. Well, why are you shrink it down a little bit? No, no. Because baseball players these days have weird names. So went on this drive from. Regina to Saskatoon in rented vehicles. And one group of us got just a boring old SUV. And then the pool I was in with a giant Ford Bronco.

Oh, okay. I thought you were going to say like a convertible. He was a convertible. What? Yeah. Yeah, you just, there were a couple latches you turn off. You literally take the roof off. Oh, like the hard shell.

Yeah. Cool. Yeah. I like soft shell convertible. You can get into the food court. Yeah, sometimes I like the soft shell one wrapped in the hard shell one. Or the hard shell wrapped in the soft shell with held together with bean, refried bean. It, I think I've been maybe in one convertible once, maybe two.

I had one when I was a teenager. Whoa. Yeah. My grandfather, I'm so sorry. No, no, no, no. I want to hear this. My grandfather, I never met him once. He, like, left my mom's family when they were...

When I was born. Abandoning your kids when they're 30. What are you going to name your kid? Rachel. I'm out. Disgusting. Too many spelling. Not an A.E?

Gross. I'm gone. No, but yeah, he left my parents. My parents aren't siblings. He left my mom when she was a kid and she had four siblings. and they like never saw him again. And it turned out he was like living on the island. But he had like mental health issues and he was a hoarder.

And then when he died, they had to go and clean out his house. And it was just like Florida ceiling like wet paper newspapers and like buckets of like coins and like multiples of the same items. But he had so he had multiples of. And it was weird. He did. That better be where this is going. He did. He had five of a lot of things, which is weird because he had five.

kids that he like left and then never saw again. Right. I don't know what that means. Um, but he had like, he had a bunch of like Chrysler-Liberian convertibles. Wow. So then they just like got them. Um, and my parents had a car and didn't need it. So my sister was older than me, but thankfully didn't learn to drive very fast. She got scared of it. So I got to drive very fast. She was spooked and I got the car. But the lesson here is that, like, you shouldn't have a convertible in Vancouver, especially the soft shell kind. Because convertibles don't last in a rainforest, and they all leak, especially 92 Chrysler-Liberans.

And it had mushrooms growing in the back, and it was always wet inside. So it sounds cool and glamorous, but it's smells bad, and it's probably killing me from the inside of this day. So how long did you have it? Oh, a long time. I was driving it from like 16 to maybe 23. And were the mushrooms growing the whole time? The mushrooms were growing the whole time. It smelled like the woods in a storm.

Yeah, that's right. On the inside. And, yeah. That's like... Not a lot of cars have that. Not a lot of cars have that. It's pretty unique. Is there a thing?

Like we're mental or like a black mold like affects your mental state. Yes, for sure. So that's my excuse. Anytime I come on a podcast and I'm like, oh, I don't feel like I like was like my most sparkly self that day. I really nail it. Then I just end every podcast by bringing up my moldy car and my, my weird old apartment.

I live in Vancouver. That definitely has black mold. So if, yeah, so I'm actually thriving. Well, you are sparkling today. Through the mold. I hope you're not feeling like you're, you're, Oh, at the beginning, I was like, I didn't crush it on that wedding stuff. I should have had more horror stories.

We'll go back again. I've just signed so many NDAs. That was just the mushroom stocking. So, yeah, we got to, the only other time that I can remember being in a convertible. Who was in the car with you? James, the sound recordist for the debaters, James Masters. Who did the driving? He did.

And you know what? If I was allowed to go to be the driver, I want to scoop that up. There's no winding. There's no, you know, looking like you're going to fall off a cliff or whatever. Why weren't you allowed to? You just wasn't there. Because you didn't rent it? Yeah, exactly.

But whenever. Did you take the top off? Yeah. Did you wrap your head in a like a scarf and put a big sunglasses? And then we drove that thing off a cliff. We held you another chance. Yeah. It's, but I remember when I went into convertible before it was like too, it was too windy.

It was like, and your hair gets all knotted up. It looks fun in the movies, but it's, yeah. But this one? Yeah, you're going to, you're never going to be able to comb that beard again. Yeah, and like you can't wear a hat. That's just going to go flat enough. Not in this Ford Bronco. It was the big, huge windshield.

So you weren't, there wasn't enough wind coming at you to knock. Were you in the back? No, I was in the front. The front, okay. Yeah, maybe it's because I was in the back. Yeah, if you're in the back, you're getting, I bet you're still. getting knotted up. Yeah.

Yeah. Air's going both ways. It was a lot of fun. I, I, uh, no, finish. Oh, it just, uh, it had all these different modes that you could go on. Uh, it could be like, uh, sport mode. Sport mode. Invisible mode.

Uh, geez, what were the other ones? Those are the two I remember is. Spike mode. Uphill mode. Yeah. Roads. Fire mode. And did they, were they noticeably different?

The sportser one? Woo, does that accelerate fast? Oh, yeah. Wow. But the green, you couldn't tell. And, like, we tried to, we lifted and, like, it could go up and down. Oh, the suspension goes up and down. This, this thing was like, we got out of that car and we picked it up.

Yeah. It's super light. My car, my kids like to have the windows down. And so when we go over speed bumps, I can hear something happening. Oh, no, I hate that. I hear a little. Oh, no. Is air coming out?

Or does my suspension release some air or something? Yeah, what the hell? I have that, too. I do find that the best way to fix a car is to just roll your windows up and forget you heard what you heard. Absolutely. Well, you got to have the windows up so you can cultivate the porcini mushrooms in the back. Yeah, yeah, you can't let those spores out. Are you going to waste those good spores?

Yeah, yeah. So we were, we stopped at a large coffee pot. statue, like not the biggest of the world, just like a pretty big one. And then we were all like, oh, we should get something to eat or whatever. And there was a cafe just like within sight. And it was just like picture in a movie, a cafe that would be on the side of the highway. And it was exactly that. Went in, there was the owner, two people chowing down on a counter.

No, at a table together, but definitely a farmer. And just farmer, did he take his wife? He took his wife. Did it have a counter? It did have a counter. I was picturing a counter as well. And she, like, the counter's a woman. The woman who ran it, we were like, can we get coffees to go?

And she's like, yeah, I got cups or whatever. And it was very bad coffee. I got cups or whatever. Yeah. Whatever you want me to fill it? You want to fill your hat? Do you have a growler? Coffee growler, too hot.

Not if it's a Stanley. That's right. But yeah, so the coffee was very bad. And then just like... See, that's the problem with these comedians being like, why can't I get a cup of Joe? Because frankly, you like the espresso. You like the milk and chocolate.

Yeah, yeah. But we were convinced that was the only thing between where you know, Saskatoon or Regina. And we drove like two minutes down the road. Everything was there. Tim Horton's gas station subway, dairy queen. Who is, what's the city between, is it red deer between Edmonton and Calgary? Red deer is, oh wait.

I thought Red deer was south of Calgary. But who's our guest who lived in the town that was in between Edmonton and Calgary and there was like a, if you don't remember, I won't. but there's like the world's biggest trucks, not the world's biggest truck stop, but a truck stop that is, the gasoline alley they call it. Yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah. Who lives there? Is it? Was it Randy Newmire? Oh, she is from Alberta. She is from Alberta. Yeah, it could be Randy Newmire. You know what folks out there?

Check it out. Yeah, check out Randy Newmire's most recent episode. But no creeps. No creeps, listen to that. Only fun, peeps. Yeah. So, yeah, I got to drive in a pretty cool car. I experienced something like a convertible recently where I ride my bike like three days a year.

Bikes are like convertibles. That's true. And their nature's convertible. Yes. I went to my friend's backyard to drink beer with him. Fun. I biked over there. And, oh, the worst.

wind whistling in my ear hair. You don't get more choppedunk than that. Cycling for chopped unks? Cycling is cycling suddenly for chopped unks now? Yeah. Oh, man. I feel like Dave got like a drunken blackout tattoo that he's trying to like make make sense. It's just chopped uncs.

I just keep saying. No, I'm still tattooless. Yeah, me too. Tattoo? Tattooless. Wow. Three tattooless. I'm more tattooless than David Thulis.

Nice. Well, guys, do you want to move on to some overheard? Let's do it. Hey, Max Fun listeners. It's me, Jackie Kachan. I have a podcast with Lori Kilmartin. Say hi, Lori. Hi, Jacqueline.

Hi, Max Fun listeners. But I'm very formal. We have a podcast and it's about stand-of-comity and how much we love it and how much we dislike some of it. So listen to that podcast. It's called The Jackie and Laurie Show. We drop new episodes every Wednesday that gives us plenty of time to decompress from our comedy weekends and discuss things with sane level heads.

No, it doesn't. If you are a woman our age or a man our age. Or you know what? Any person of any age. I think you'll enjoy your podcast. Jackie and Lori Show on Maximumfund.org. Bye. Are you a celebrity?

from NPR and Maximum Fun. Overheard. Overheard. Now, Graham, shut up. It's time of my favorite segment on the show. Does David Thulez have a tattoo? Well, it's... The answer may surprise you.

The answer is he definitely has at least one. According to this website, David Thulez, 2026, wife, net worth, tattoos, smoking, and body. Yeah, yeah, for all the people out there that think, you know, you might be a good partner for this guy. He smokes. owns a house in Paris, France, which is the Paris, the Saskatoon of France.

Yes. He has been seen stepping out of a car. He is married. Oh, and he does have the big head for his body. And that's why he loves him so much. But he's married straight, currently in no confirmed relationship. I can't remember now if we said the big head, tiny body. That was pre-podcast, so I just said an insane thing.

That's all right. Yeah, that's fine. We support you. And who is he in Harry? He was Lupin, the werewolf teacher. Oh, spoiler. Sorry. There are a lot of new people getting into Harry Potter today.

Well, this picture shows him with a tattoo on its arm, but on the website it says, does David Thuleus have a tattoo? No. Okay. What was this website again? This is from Tadler.com. but Tadler with no E, like Tumblr. All right, all right. This has been great fun.

But we got to get down to the business of overheard's where you hear things or see things and you report them here to this podcast. We always like to start with the guests. Rachel, do you have an overheard. I sure do. I was walking down Main Street a couple of weeks ago and I walked past Gene Coffee, Gene Cafe, that one that's like at that triangle spot where. Kingsway and Maine meat. Yeah, imagine a tiny version of the flat iron building.

Yeah, yeah. It's right on the corner. It's right on the corner. And they've got these wooden benches outside where you could drink your coffee outside. And I feel like oftentimes I'll walk past it and I'll see kind of like older guys chilling out there. Like it's their chill spot to drink their coffees. Sure, it's a chill spot. And it was three older guys sitting on these wooden benches but like far enough away from each other that it didn't feel like they were there together.

Like it didn't feel like they knew each other. Right. But one of them was talking to the other two and very like kind of almost in like a braggy tone. And I walked past and I heard him say, I can get all the best tables at all of Vancouver's worst restaurants. It was great. I thought this is an immaculate vibe. A good tables, even at a bad restaurant, I like having a good table. Yeah.

Yeah. I guess he's, yeah, like sitting in the window at Bonds off Broadway or something. Yeah, sure. I mean, I'm such a dormant that they'll say, hey, would you like a table in the toilet? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's basically just you on the toilet with like a flat service. Yeah, and people are still peeing on you. Yeah, okay.

Look at, I look at Abby. Is it good? Is it okay? No. No, Dave. Oh, okay. Yeah, now I want to go to Gene. Yeah, meet some new friends.

Yeah, one of those fancy coffees, you know, unlike the diners in Saskatchewan, rotten coffees. Dave, do you have an overheard? Yeah, I have one. Yesterday was Father's Day. Oh, yeah, what'd you do? We had, everyone came over, and we had a big waffle breakfast brunch for all of the fathers in my family. That's fun. And but then afterwards, I asked my daughter if she would come to a movie with me.

Okay. And she said, yes. I think Abby must have been like, whatever dad suggests, just doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's hanging out by a thread. He really needs this. So we went to go see Disclosure Day. Oh, a Spiel bear.

What did you think about it? I, too, have seen it. I look. Yeah. I think what it's about was a little silly. Okay. But every scene was very good. I think he's very good at making movies.

He is very good. He is very good at making movies. I think he was like, there's a few movies that I feel this way about the David Fincher movie, The Game, where it doesn't make sense. It doesn't really hold it. hold together, but maybe he just wanted to do like 10 cool set pieces. Yeah. Sure.

And pull them off. And I feel like this was that kind of thing where I was like, I enjoyed myself the whole time. I don't really think it's... It's not his best movie. Of course. By any means, yeah. But none of us, yeah.

What, did you like it? It was a odd movie theater experience. Someone was sitting behind me and they were kicking my chair the whole thing. time. And then all the people that I was with, I was with my boyfriend and his friends. And it was just clear that they, they didn't like the movie. And they realized they didn't like it earlier than I figured out how I felt. And then I could hear a lot of scoffing sounds.

And I was like, well, now I'll never know how I would have felt. Right. Definitely scoffable moments. So I have no idea. I know I liked, like, I know the acting. I like to like all the acting. It stars. Emily Blunt.

Okay. Josh O'Connor. Josh O'Callender. Challenger's? Oh, no, not Duolip, but that's that other guy. That's Callum something. That's Callum Turner. Who they showed a preview of his new movie with, what's her face?

So there's this new movie that he's in with, what's her name, Melissa Barbaro? Someone Barbaro? Oh, no, that's another, you're thinking Melissa Barrera, but that's not, it's not that one. Are you talking in the movie where it's like the purge but for sex? Yeah. Yeah. It's a different lady than Melissa Barrera. But I can see unless she's another.

The purge but for sex. Unless her name is Melissa Barbaro. Okay. So Calam Turner is married to Dula Lipa. Good for them. I know they seem very happy. One Night Only starring Melissa Barbaro. No.

Monica Barbaro. Oh, okay. who was in That makes sense She was Joan Baez In No Direction Home And she was The woman pilot

From Maverick Oh nice Anyway What are we talking about? So Joshua Connor is Did you see The newest What's the Daniel Craig

Southern Detective? Oh, the knives out. Yeah. Do you see one of the newest one of those? No, I saw the first one.

Did you see Joshua Connor? Did you see the crown when he was the young? No, I never saw the crown. Did you see Mastermind? No. Which one is Mastermind? He's like trying to pull off like a gallery heist.

Anyway, this is Joshua Carter. Do you know him? No, he looks kind of like a young Kramer though. He does, I guess. It starts, those two. and Bono's daughter and Kurt Russell's son. That's Bono's daughter? Yeah.

Bonette. Wow, Bonette. I had no idea. And Colin Firth. Anyway. That's a cast. Good movie. Check it out.

Yeah. Stevens, Steven Spielberg has now made five movies about aliens. Okay. And your overheard comes from? Here's my overheard. I was in the bathroom. and someone else was a dad who had their two children with them. And I could, their two sons who were like eight and eleven.

And they were in the bathroom. And you could tell that they had just seen Masters of the Universe. Oh, okay, sure. And so one of the kids says to the dad, okay, dad, how did you like it? And the dad goes, well, have you ever heard the word called nostalgia? Oh, nice. That's so sweet. Yeah, I was kind of wondering.

of who that movie was for, but I think it was probably people who were nostalgic. Because kids don't need no he-man movie. They don't need no he-man movie. We don't need no he-man movie. The world was, yeah, not begging for a he-man movie. We don't need no battle cat. Nice.

That would not do the only. Hey, Skeletor. Leave those bones alone. Leave he-man alone. All of and all We're just another sword in the air The castle of grace coal My overheard came from

I was down in Gastown And a lot of bar Like the bar that I was doing a show under All the underground comedy club The bar upstairs was showing The Japan versus Tunisia game Oh those countries have always hated each other. I even said,

I was like, Tunis just had it too good for too long. Get them, Japan. But they, like, when they, every time they scored the whole, I thought the roof was going to cave in. Like, they were all so intense. But so it was happening, it was happening in when you're at, when you're performing stand-up

comedy and the people above you are clearly having more fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's like every bar downtown, and especially a Gastown had fans at it, except one that I, passed on the way there and a guy was saying to, I assume the owner, he's like, man, you had the only place that nobody's in tonight.

And it's true. I looked in the window and it's just like dead quiet. Yeah. Yeah. You got to advertise your show in those games. I was a, I walked, when we went to the movie theater last night, I walked through Granville Street. I was in the daytime, but it was before the soccer game and there were, it was fun. There were people.

out hoping for Egypt to win. Yeah. Good for them. Who did Egypt defeat? Egypt defeated New Zealand. Another famous rab. I know. It's sort of like the Cold War. It's just like it's a proxy battle for these two countries.

Now, we also have overheard sent into us by people all over the world. If you want to send women, send it into SBI at maximum fund.org. this first one comes from a guy we know named Jesse T. Jesse Tentura? Yeah. Jesse T. Badi Ventura? Jesse Tempera would be a fun.

Oh, yeah. I got to play on his name if he was, if you drew him like, if Jesse the body Ventura was, you know, dipped in Panko, breading and laid in a manger. A woman was walking down the street and yelled to her friend, maybe 10 feet ahead. Oh my God, the bagel place with the cream cheese, whatever. And the other things. I don't know.

What else is going to be? Capers. A lock. This is also any bagel place. Pretty much. Yeah. The bagel place with the cream cheese. What?

This is this one. I think that was from L.A. even, so you don't think they got it. The bagels. No, the lowers. Well, they don't have the right water in L.A. That's true. They got to get wiped in.

right from New York. Do, yeah, bagel places, they all seem to offer you their own house cream cheese if you want to buy a tub of it. Yeah. And also, the everything bagel. That's a lot of fun. Whenever you give them that option. But sometimes just having a plain bagel is pretty satisfied. Oh, I haven't had a plain bagel in forever.

Yeah. That's. Today could be your day. Yeah. I have an acute poppy seed allergy, so I need a plain bagel. No. No. It's the heroin in it that he can't handle.

I need my plain bagels made in a poppy seed-free facility. He simply cannot relapse. This next one comes from Mike S from San Diego. I was walking to meet up with some friends in sunny San Diego. When I overheard a woman on the sidewalk say, come to think of it, mayo is going through a renaissance. Well, Carolyn Taylor a couple weeks ago was talking about her love of Japanese mayo. And I think probably there's like combo mayo.

that are, you know, like a Chipotle Mayo. Maoli. Yeah. You know what? I think that person is actually kind of showing their whole ass there. And I think they're late to the Mayo Renaissance. I think the Mayo Renaissance has been happening. Like we're almost out of it.

We're almost out of it. Yeah. She's like getting into craft beer now. Yeah. She's like, huh. Bacon is all the fields. That's what she's going to be saying soon. Yeah, there was that era too

Or just like bacon was a whole personality that you could have Yeah, people were tattooing it on the bottom of their feet Mm-hmm Oh my God, the bottom of their feet Yeah, I think Kara Delavine did that I think she has a bacon tattooing Really?

But why do I know that? I could know so much better stuff If I knew less Than all the dumb stuff I thought Cara Delavine was as tattooless as David Thulas Tonight on the Rosie O'Donnell show This last one comes from Nile. N-I-L?

N-I-A-L? Yeah, yeah. From One Direction. Oh, okay. Another great thing I know. You've probably got a whole vault of things. I know so much stuff, you guys. I mean, I was in a doctor's office waiting area when a mother was trying to keep her young daughter entertained by pointing at the child-friendly murals.

She pointed out one and said, who's that? Her daughter didn't say anything, so the mother said, it's poo bear. And who's next to him? This time the daughter whispered something back to which the mother responded, that's not Jesus, it's piglets. Is that little guy, Jesus? I don't know, Mom Jesus. Everything seems to be about Jesus with you.

Did you see, first of all, sorry, Nile. I'm sure every day, people are like, oh, from one direction. I'm sick of it. Um, the, uh, did you see past guest, Bidujudaki doing a, she was in a post by, was it called Historica who makes all the, um, oh, the heritage. The heritage minutes. I did. And she was talking about how her favorite one was the Winnie the Pooh one. Yeah.

It's one of the best. Anyway, do you know this? No, I don't. Well, I know, I know, I know Canadian heritage moments, but I don't know them all as, as many people. Because, again, the lack of TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the one about... So Winnie the Pooh one?

Yeah. I didn't think he was our thing. He is. Yeah. He's our thing? Well, his name is our thing. Oh, one of our bears? No, a Canadian soldier had adopted this baby bear.

Yeah. During World War I. And it wasn't wearing a red hat, so for sure wasn't padding. And then he had to give it up while he went to war. And he was in England. Yeah. And so the zoo took it. And the bear was in.

I'm Winnie because he's from Winnipeg. Okay. Where does the poo come in? And then there's this little boy. Because we've always asked. The son of... Yeah. The writer is like...

We're going to write a bunch of stories about this bear. And he's going to illustrate him. Was the other guy. Yeah. And then they... They're like, what should we call the bear? Winnie the Pooh.

Why, kid? I don't know. Just Winnie the Pooh. And that's the birth of it all. Anyway, I don't see it here on Bita's page, but trust me. I imagine. I imagine it's great. It's very random.

It is very random. Well, in addition to overheards that are written, and we also accept your phone calls. If you want to call us, our phone number is 1. 844-779-7631. That's 1. Spipod 1, like these people have. Or you can send us a voice memo, SPY at Maximum Fun.

like these people have. Dave Graham, esteemed guest, this is Derek from Seattle with an overheard. I was sitting on the turf in Seattle's Call Anderson Park, housing a chicken burrito. There were groups of people seated around me enjoying the summer evening. When a woman approached riding a ride-share e-bike, she was striking because she had braids down to her waist,

a long, flowing white dress, and she was seated side saddle on the e-bike. Okay, so she didn't pedal as she glided past staring stoically out at the crowd. A young goth and a group nearby exclaimed, hey, look at her. Her kickstand still down. She has so much fucking aura. And close her inspection, indeed, her kickstand was still down. Wow.

No friggin way. Just in my head trying to picture that, it's elegant. Yeah, he really made me feel like I was there. Yeah. And there just happened to be a goth nearby that was commenting on things? commented on how much aura she has. Yeah, she hits. Sounds like she had a lot of aura.

So weird. Like in my generation, we didn't have aura. We had Rizz. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. And you and I weren't unks back then. No, we were. We were just uncles. We were actual uncles.

We were first time uncles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, riding with her kickstand down, you know it's got to be all slanty. Yeah. You don't want that grinding on the ground. I kind of almost forgot that bikes have kickstands. Kind of just have. Not all bikes.

Not all bikes. Okay. Yeah. But are there still bikes with kickstand? Oh, yeah. Okay. I think it's super cool. I think the ones in the Tour de France.

Don't have them. Yeah, that's true. They want to be streamlined. It does feel like more of like a young person's bike thing. I too have not thought of a kickstand in a minute. You do need to like. None of my adult grown up over 30 friends have kickstand. Yeah.

You do need to like, you know, have trust in the world. Because if you're, if you're. have a kickstand down, you're not locking up your bike. You're just setting it there and walking away. Right. So Vancouver bikes don't need kickstands because they all are definitely locking them. And it would be something you could do in front of that cafe in the Saskatchewan. Just leave your bike with the kicks down down.

The farmer's not going to ride it. Well, maybe if he's feeling... Speaking of Tour de France, I do see quite a lot of people in like spandex sitting outside cafes drinking tiny little cappuccitos.
