Hi, he's Dave Shumka, and he's Graham Clark, and together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself. Hey everybody, how you doing? Hi people of Earth. Hey! Oh my goodness, thanks for coming to Toronto. Yeah, right guys? Welcome. Wow, yeah, this is overwhelming. We really didn't think we'd sell that many tickets.

We got a lot of flack on the Facebook. Really taking us down a couple pegs. We're not bookers. We don't know what's what. Yeah. And the bookers didn't know who we were. So my name is Graham Clark. This is a special.

Wait, no. Just shush. I've got to do an intro. It's going to be great. Hello, everybody. Hi, great. Hello, everybody. Hi, Graham. Oh, no, that never happens. That's not part of the protocol at all.

We are used to recording in a room by ourselves, so we don't hear your voices. Hello, everybody. Welcome to a very special live Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who cannot wait to talk about Cheetah Power Surge, Mr. Dave Shumka. Yeah. Yes. I live in a place called Vancouver and we watch hockey on the weekends. Thank you. Correct.

Yeah, nailed it. And there's a man who comes on who's a – the hockey TV show hired this old man. They dress him up, and they make him say racist things. And in the commercial, before he goes and says awful things, there's a commercial for this product called Cheetah Power Search, and it's a national commercial, but the product is not national. We didn't think it existed. You can't buy it in Vancouver.

Yeah. The spokesman is a guy named Frank D'Angelo. Yeah, a legitimate businessman and not a mafia member. Now, here's the thing that you may not know, Dave, is last night I was watching television, local community-based broadcasting here in Toronto, and Frank D'Angelo has his own talk show. Oh, really? Called Being Frank. Yeah.

Does he make pizza on it with his signature cheese? Yeah. Yeah, it's him at a pizza counter, and then people come in and they want to buy a slice and then he asks them, hey, aren't you somebody from the... Aren't you from Joan Jett's band? Whatever her band is. The Jetts, right? Joan,

Jett, and the Jetts. No, I think she was in the Australian band Jett. Are you going to be my girl by Joan Jett? iPod commercials Ting Tings Yes Anyways, he has a talk show

He interviews musicians Well, he's charismatic Yeah And he's very, you know Somebody will relate a story And then he'll go I know what he's talking about And he says to the audience

And they laugh because they're afraid There's an audience? Yeah Yeah, yeah. No, this is a... The show is brought to you by Cheetah Power Surge. And he's got a club here called like, What's the matter you?

Or something like that. Like, gabagoo. And, uh... Oh! I think that's the name of it. Yeah, so it's brought to you by all of his companies. Anyways. So what I did today is I was like, okay, let's bring out some Cheetah Power Surge.

Yeah. Let's see what this stuff is really made of. Yeah, let's do this real quickly. I'll tell you what it's not made of. Caffeine. Yeah. What part of the Cheetah does this come from? Ooh.

I bought these at roughly 11 this morning, so they are as warm as a cheetah piss. Oh, yeah. That's it. You know what? You can really taste the D'Angelo. Oh, yeah. It's got kind of a...

It like burns. It hurts. It's got like a hurting feeling. It's got sort of... You know, have you ever eaten one of those candy necklaces? Yeah. Yeah, it tastes like it does. Ew, gross.

It does. It tastes just like a candy necklace. So we've been in your fine city. We happen to be here. You know what? Let's get to know us. Oh, track two. Track two.

Track two. Now, we're, like we said, we are visitors in your city. We're lucky to be here on the weekend of the Mountain Dew Rail Jam. Dew awesome. Dew the dew. Yeah. I feel like the subways were shut down tonight, and they said it was because of a flood. They didn't say whether or not it was of Mountain Dew. Yeah, so where all the cool locals hang out is a place called Dundas Square, I've learned.

Yeah. The townies hang out there, the locals. Yeah. And they had all these people. I thought they were professional skiers, but you think it's just people who brought skis. Yeah, I think it was people who had skis downtown and were like, oh, good. So we saw that. Yeah.

Well, didn't you say there was a not Mountain Dew energy drink being passed around? Yeah, there was a, uh, they were handing out Mountain Dew, like, they were shooting it out of cannons. Yeah. Uh, and, like, you would catch it, and they would go, nice snatch. Uh, right? Yeah. Mountain Dew did it again. Do awesome and nice snatch

all in one event and then there was this other energy drink company called Nas named after the rapper if I ruled the world I'd have an energy drink and he

he the rapper and the people handing out this energy drink were so nice they were like would you like some someOS for a small donation? And it was the opposite of the aggressive Mountain Dew folk. Yeah.

There were so many full Mountain Dews on the subway last night. We would just grab them out of instinct like a free thing and then just be like, gross. Most disgusting free thing. What else have we done? We went to the grossest Johnny Rockets. As opposed to the best Johnny Rockets. While we were hanging out in the cool part of town. We were like, oh, it's an authentic 50s diner.

Yeah, we read on Yelp, when in Toronto, experience Johnny Rockets for yourself. And there was an Australian guy who served us, went in Toronto, experienced Johnny Rockets for yourself. And there was an Australian guy who served us, which I thought they didn't have Australians in the 50s. That's right. They were all in jail. There were crumbs on the I bought a beer, and there was crumbs at the bottom of it.

Right? And I drank almost the whole beer, and then we were both looking at it, and you were like, I see what you're looking at I've been looking at it this whole time I didn't want to tell you And then while we were sitting in there We saw This was my

Well, there was a lot Toronto is like a city Get it out This cheetah power surge It made me so fucking crazy Toronto is a city of overheards and overseens there's always crazy shenanigans

and when we were sitting in the Johnny Rockets a girl tried to sneak up on her boyfriend and cover his eyes to surprise him and poked him in the eye and it was just the worst

like he was just standing there minding his own business and then all of a sudden a hand just poked him in the eye And he lunged forward And the girl was like oh no The exact opposite of what I was hoping would happen So that happened

Yeah a lot more happened to you than me Remember the kids on the train When we were heading out We came into the neighborhood last night To check it out Dundas Square For the late night rail jam There were kids making last night to check it out. And there was a... Dundas Square. Yeah. And there was... For the late night rail jam.

There were kids making... There was a group of kids and there was a couple dudes that tripped a kid. Oh, yeah. Oh, I totally remember this. Yeah. And then they were making fun of him

because he had a crush on a girl. And it was like that thing where you're like, you don't realize how good the one guy... Because he's got a crush on a girl and she's kind of interested in him. But they're like, you good girlfriend. Or whatever. Because these are really dumpy dudes.

Anyways, they were. They were two really dumpy dudes. They still had baby fat. They were young. Oh, did we mention they were babies? Yeah, they were babies. They were baby. Oh, did we mention they were babies? Yeah, they were babies. They were baby bullies. The guy stole

a guy's pacifier. You know, drove over him in a pram. I don't know. That's what they say around here, right? We're in Ingeland. Yeah, lifts. Now, why do I keep drinking this? I don't have to. I feel like if you drink enough of this candy necklace drink,

you'll be able to eat a regular necklace. Do you know one of the ingredients is royal jelly? Oh, wow. One of the ingredients is turmeric. Like the spice. Yeah. No, it's not, though. It's turmeric extract.

Right? Because they couldn't get the full... Yeah, they couldn't get the rights to turmeric. Not under this crazy government of my right. This government and their spices. We live in dune times, right? There's a lot of... Sarlaccs?

No, that's Star Wars. There's a sandworm. It's like a Kevin Bacon movie. Which one? Footloose? Yeah. That would be great. Criterion collection.

Yeah. Now, when we were on the flight on the way over, Dave and I, we very rarely get to just sit back and watch television together. We were watching television together on the plane. We were flying WestJet where you got to watch television. Yeah, 7 in the morning television, which included back-to-back episodes of, what was it called? Meet the Kardashians or the Kardashians? Yeah, no, no, Kim and Khloe take New York.

Yeah, and the very first thing when we both turned it on was Kim Kardashian saying to her sister, You'll never guess who emailed me. No, no. No, wait, no, that was something else. That was something else. First thing when we both turned it on was Kim Kardashian saying to her sister... You'll never guess who emailed me. No, no. No, wait, no, that was something else. That was something else. Yeah, shut up. Cheetah Bowser.

The first thing we heard Kim Kardashian say was, guys, they literally painted inside my ass. painted inside my ass and then like i laughed so much harder because i had a vision of two guys in the white painter's outfits like with rollers and the scaffolding and then dave said and they're whistling at other ladies from her ass check out the ass on that one. But then in a second episode in a row of Kim and Kardashian, Kim and Kardashian, Kim and her sister Kardashian, take New York, that just started with,

guys, you'll never guess who emailed me. Shango. Yeah. So that's been a running gag the whole time we've been here. Everybody's Shango to us. Yeah. Like that's been a running gag the whole time we've been here. Everybody, shango to us. Yeah. Like that's a person's name.

We also made a game on the subway of picking what stations sounded the most like a slang for genitals. And my favorite was pape, and yours was? Spadina. What was it? Old Mills? I like the Old Mill, yeah. There's trouble at the Old Mill. That's how you refer to your third wife. The Old Mill here.

Trouble at the Old Mill. Better drink some cranberry juice. Ladies know what I'm talking about. We're a lot of fun. Yeah, we are. We're very charming. So did we watch something else on television? Or was that?

Oh, no. Yeah. The other thing that we watched was eTalk Daily with host Ben Mulrooney. He's delightful. Right? He's my favorite kind of BM. Yeah. He's on your city's flag, right? Going like, hey, first in something.

He, we saw like a promo before a commercial, and the lead line going into the commercial was, Steve Urkel's back and then we watched the rest of the show and there was no anything about and we were like trying to figure out like oh it's gonna come up in the last 10 seconds of the show. It's gonna be over the credits. And in lighter news Steve Urkel's dead.

Yeah. He's back in heaven. Yeah. Oh and my other favorite thing that happened on the plane was a woman brought a harp on. Oh, and my other favorite thing that happened on the plane was a woman brought a harp on. Oh, yeah! Oh, man. A carry-on harp.

No, that was my second favorite, too. Dave kept taking photos of a guy who was wearing suede boots over his jeans. Yeah. So he looked like Puss in Boots style. And then, but like,

we were laughing at that, and then a lady like, excuse me, with her harp like, like, oh, are we all going to the medieval fair? Are we all going to go? Are we going to have a sing-along to green sleeves? Oh, man. Also, I bought this shirt today because I thought it would be hilarious. Oh, man.

Also, I bought this shirt today because I thought it would be hilarious. For the home listener, Graham's shirt says, I heart tour... Toronto. Toronto. Yes. I wanted to buy,

at the souvenir show, I wanted to get one that had, like, glitter on it, and it was a glitter Toronto, but the extra large curls, I put it on, and it was like a bra. It was just like a bra. You could have worn it over another shirt.

I mean, you know, there's only so much embarrassment you can handle. Because from the side, that looks like a Hubba Bubba. Hubba Bubba? What generation is this? That's a gum, right? That's still a going gum concern?

Yeah, Hubba Bubba's like Big League Chew. Is it? No. It's like a Bubblicious. Sure. Like a poor man's Bubblicious. Did you know this is only packed by D'Angelo Brands? Not even manufactured by them.

It's manufactured by Cheetos. Nature. Yeah. Gross. Well. Yeah. Well, that's the show everybody Of course

It's a bamboo thing that I bought at a store and had to carry in the wind like a moron. It's floor panels. Because the lady at the store was like, the great thing about this is that you don't have to, they really, they survive really well. And then I took it out in a windstorm and was like, Bamboo doesn't know how to do this.

We got to know us and what we're all about,

You came here to plug your movie, Project X. Yes. I was one of the key creatives behind Project X, and we've got a lot of hope for it. Yeah. What do you think is going to be the end result of that movie? The end result? Or do we? I you think is going to be the end result of that movie? The end result? Or degree, I think. I think we're going to get the Vice Magazine Award

for most likely to be associated with Vice. Movie award. The 29th Annual Vice Awards. Wouldn't they be the greatest and filthiest bash? Right? If it was televised, there'd be a lot of, right? Yeah. Not combed hair.

Yeah. Lots of don'ts, probably, in the audience. Yeah, all don'ts. Mixed with do's. All don'ts that people say are do's. Yeah. You can't really tell these days the difference between the do's and the don'ts. I feel like a lot of the do's they just say are do's because they're so ugly right yeah sure i yeah i mean i maybe it's i'm getting older i

really love the do's like every time they reward someone for being out there yeah like yeah man do you think and then every time i read a don't i'm like come on man that's someone's kid i can't distance myself you would like to see a do and also do some more. Yeah. I just want to see all dos. Here are all the reasons you should do this. My girlfriend was reading some website that was criticizing Oscar dresses. And then we were reading it together and we were like, oh, this is the only one that's –

At worst, it was like a constructive criticism. It was a really nice website? It was all kind words. Oh, wow. It was like, this doesn't quite work on you, but like... Looks really expensive. Yeah. Like, great job for taking a risk, sister.

Who's next? It was a really lovely website. Wow. So are the days of the catty website, or catty like red carpet, you know? No, they're not gone. No, what? Thank God. But everyone this year looked

damn good. I mean, did you see Hillary Brunner? Chad Lowe. Watching from home. Yeah. No, you say there's nothing going on but that's hardly true you're on two

television shows and are you touring around or are you just working in the city tell us about it what's it like to be Mark Lowe let's have a peek inside the mind take all the things you have and then find a way to hate them. How does your average day start?

Well, I'm sort of in limbo right now because I did those two fun shows and now we're trying to figure out if Picnic Face is going to get a second season. Come on, who doesn't? Right? Wouldn't it be? Come on. Who would possibly not want that? You know who?

The man. Go on. The man. Go on. The man. And then Mr. IEA. So I don't know. So both of the things are like done. They exist, but they're done. And I'm hoping for more things.

But the crazy thing is this Rollertown, the movie we made, was like, is playing at MoMA next month. What? Like alongside like Monsieur Lazar. Really? Like movies that you would call films because you didn't want to insult the director by calling them movies.

And we're playing at 3 p.m. on a Sunday. That's probably so great. And I think it's just all being packaged as like, come see the year in Canadian film. So some people might just show up and they're like, I don't know what's playing during this block but I understand that this represents Canadian film. So some people might just show up and they're like, I don't know what's playing during this block,

but I understand that this represents Canadian film. Yeah. I got locked out of my house. Anyway. That's crazy. I want to see it. Yeah. I would also like to see this movie.

I think the movie is for some people, but I can say with 100% certainty that it is not for those people the people at home are gonna hate it there's no way they won't well I disagree because maybe they'll do the thing where they're like oh this is one of those it's like trying to trick me it's not like that so I will I'll show them right so they'll be snickering at all the references even though they're together yeah i get it i get it yeah so i still think that you're giving my movie more credit even the sarcastic response is too too credit. Unless you think that they're going to react that way to a grandfather with semen on his face.

Where did it come from? Why is it there? MoMA! MoMA! Even the kind of scene that we looked at afterwards and were like, why did we write that? Because it was like a madwib script. Does MoMA stand for the Museum of Masturbating Ancestors?

Yes! Yep. If it does. Yeah, what if it does? We're in trouble. Sign me up for a season's pass. Everybody, yay! Now, what is this movie?

You said the title of it, but maybe people do not know what it is about. Oh, well, it's a movie set in 1980, around the time that roller skating movies that were actually made were filmed. And it's... Oh, we'll never get back to that time. Yeah. It's actually impossible. And it's a parody of those types of movies and there's like uh all those movies felt like dirty dancing or footloose they're about someone who

danced in a different way but like everyone else was like you'll never get into juilliard if you dance like that and they're like i gotta be true to myself and at the end juilliard's like nah come on in oh yeah that yeah. That kind of movie. But in that genre of dance movies, there was like four or five roller skating specific movies. And one of them, the most amazing one that is definitely the most used for reference points by us, a real tortured sentence, was called Roller Boogie. And it was this piece of shit from 1979. It was, I think, the only big movie that Linda Blair did after The Exorcist.

Because she did The Exorcist and then everyone after that was like, we're never casting you. She's like, I'll show them. Look at this script. This is the comeback script. She had the comeback script. And then apparently she was dating the lead right up until filming, and then they broke up in a bad way right before filming, and so she got the producers to fire the male lead, and then the-

And she buried the lead. Oh. Oh, that- It turned on me. Yeah. Masturbating ancestors. Remember, guys? But then the guy who stepped in for the lead was his roller skating stunt double.

Who had never acted? He'd never acted. That's every stunt double's dream. Right? Tom Cruise didn't show up. You're going to have to be the star. Yeah. Jerry?

And so he's this guy with wonderful wavy hair. And he's got one expression which I think you might describe as a smile, or you might describe as petrified terror. He's a really uncomfortable guy, and this movie is just garbage. The first 30 minutes are about this, their roller skating love story. And then about 30 minutes in, the mafia just show up and they're like, we're shutting this down and there's nothing you can do about it. And then apparently everyone in the movie is like, well, that's what it's about now. So there's no, but I think if there was a flaw with Rollertown, it's that we were like, wouldn't it be funny if we parodied that?

And then relied on people saying like, oh, this is like a parody of that movie none of us have seen. It's a spot on parody. So in effect, yeah, so we just have the exact same problem. Just poor scripting. I like that they put a mafia. That was probably like the Godfather came out and they were like, oh, people really like the mafia. Put that in a roller script. Roller script. The Godfather just came out and they were like, oh, people really like the Mafia. Put that in a roller script. Roller script? The Godfather just came

out seven years ago. They didn't shorten the term of movies for them. No, yeah, they made everything roller whatever. We need something from Roller Props. Was it the first film shot all on roller skates? Yeah. It was shot in Roller

Vision. Just slowly wheeled away from the set. And actually, good. Some good physical podcast comedy. So that's amazing. You got a film done, which is, you know, they say like that's amazing You got a film done

Which is You know They say like That's an impossible Thing Right Do they say that Yeah they say that

Classic Bartlett's quotations Films Making a film That's like an impossible thing Yeah Attributed to They

Yeah they There's one thing they say In the age of the internet It's that no one Can get it done Yeah, yeah, yeah Making a movie is getting more and more expensive Fewer people have access

Now, you were originally from out west You moved out here, is that right? Or were you originally from here and then you went to university out west and then came back here? No, I'm from out west and then I moved to Halifax And I just moved here four months ago Oh, you're new! You're as new as us. Have you been to Dundas Square? Yeah.

I've spent the last four months in Dundas Square and I like it. I feel like there's got to be more, but I can't pull myself away. There isn't. There is not. Yeah, exactly.

One end is Chinatown. One end's Koreatown. It's a square of many cultures. We went to a pub there that had a library up top. It was great. You don't see those things mixed often. Or maybe you do. I don't know if you drink at the library.

It's the Dundas way. I think you're just witnessing the library very slowly getting phased. Yeah, you can stay. Yeah, we'll let you stay. Ha ha. Right, that's every guy who owns a bar. What are you saying? That people accidentally own bars

by letting people just stay in the place? They took over a library. Like in that movie, Library Town. The mafia moved in with their bar plans. At first you thought it was just a love story about two librarians. Then half an hour in, they're like, wait, this isn't anything. Bring in the mafia. Go see Rollertown.

You've got to see Rollertown, guys. You've got to see it. So how are you finding Toronto? You've only been here for four months. How do you like it? Oh, it's amazing. Well, when I was in Vancouver, I always thought, like, I want to go someplace bigger. And then I got into school in Halifax.

And then I was like, can't wait to go someplace bigger. And you moved to Red Deer. Yeah. The crazy thing about Halifax is that it is the big city for everyone from any other city in the Maritimes. Yeah. You'll meet people from Charlottetown and Moncton.

There's other cities, right? And they'll be like, Sol, how do you like the big city? These people from Moncton, mostly immigrants from New York. Their families moved from the old world, and then they moved to New York,

and then they're like, this is getting a little hot in here. Let's check out New Brunswick. Yeah. Hey, you like New Brunswick? You've been on one of our ways. Don't point out that I only have one accent in my repertoire. But yeah, that's where Picnic Face started, right? Yeah. It was out in Halifax. And then why the move to Toronto all of a sudden, right?

Yeah, oh, I mean, Halifax is a weird place to do comedy, so it just, I mean, it was a wonderful place to learn how to do comedy because there was no pressure. It was like, it was none. Everyone out there is so... We ain't got no entertainment out here. Oh! Oh, you know, the mayor of Halifax, that's his voice. None. Everyone out there is so – We ain't got no entertainment out here. Oh. Well, you know, the mayor of Halifax, that's his voice. No, I mean, like, all the – people are nice.

That's why people go to Halifax because everyone is so wonderful there. But there's not a lot going on, so they really appreciate anything that is going on. So we started, like, doing – I mean, there's obviously a longstanding music scene, but most comedians, anyone who's ever aspired to be a comedian in Halifax has left. Right. And so when we started doing improv there, we got hordes of people coming out because, on the one hand, they appreciated that we were doing anything. And then, on the other hand, I don't know, we were slightly different from the couple of shows that happened, like, per month. Right, the Pizza Corner show. There's the Pizza Corner show where someone eats pizza and then complains about it. And the cops arrest him

and it's all not, it's not filmed, but we treat it like a live studio audience would. But then eventually, yeah, it got to the point where it was like, I mean, there's so much going on here

and you want to be surrounded by people who are going to inspire you. And there's only so many people like that in Halifax, whereas Toronto is like, is tons. Right? Yeah. there's only so many people like that in Halifax, whereas Toronto is tons. Right? Yeah. It's huge.

I don't mean to get super sentimental, but that's the reason. But it is true. Even if you walk like 10 minutes, it's exhausting how many buildings there are here. Too big. In Vancouver, you walk 10 minutes and you're in the forest again. You were saying that people go to Halifax because the people are so nice. I find the people here are so much nicer than Vancouver. It's off-putting.

Yeah, it's true. People here are ridiculously nice. People look you in the eye and smile at you on the street, and you don't know what to do, so you just kick them in the neck. Some lady gave me the once-over today while I was carrying that bamboo. She went like, I don't know if I like the face scan so far. I do not appreciate the beard. Saw the bamboo, went back up for the eyes. Hey, alright.

It was good. Felt pretty good. Yeah, in Vancouver, if someone smiles at you, that's like second base. That's wild, yeah, because that's the stereotype here is what you're describing Vancouver as. And Toronto gets a bad rap. It does.

And also, weirdly, I think it's just snowballing stereotypes. I was talking to my uncle, who's a Victoria boy, born and raised, a little bit older. Can you do an accent? Hey, I'm from Victoria! Born and raised! And he was like, I'd only been here for a month.

And I said, how'd you like your trip to Australia? And he was like, wonderful. I picked up a bit of the accent. Everyone down there is like, hey, get in here. Whoa. Vinny. Dingo took my baby. And then he was like, how are you enjoying baby And then I was like

He was like How are you enjoying Toronto And I was I'm really liking it And he's like Yeah a lot of tall buildings And garbage right And I was like

That's two of the elements I'd be upset if those didn't exist But it's crazy to me Because I'm staying I am staying in a very ramshackle place. Dave was smart. He booked a hotel. And I was like, oh, wing it.

Right? I'll figure it out on the fly is what I said. So I booked a place through Airbnb and ended up on Shooter Street, which every time I've said it to anybody, they've done that exact thing. They're like, ooh, don't go down to Shooter Street, which every time I've said it to anybody, they've done that exact thing. They're like, ooh, don't go down to Shooter Street. But it's like the cleanest fucking street. It's as clean as any hoity-toity. When we were walking down there, you said,

this reminds me of The Wire. You said that! I didn't say that! Look, you literally just... One of us said it! No, no, no. We were walking down the street and then you started singing the theme from The Wire.

If you walk through the garden... And I said, why are you singing that? And you're like, I don't know. I'm sorry. Yeah. But if you... Through the window Where I'm staying You can see There's a playground

And then just beyond The playground Is a strip club So The kids have to learn At some point Yeah Job shadowing

But What I'm saying Is that area Which is Everybody's like Ooh stay away It's like super clean There's no litter anywhere

There's not even Cigarette butts on the ground And every Cuckoo bananas person That I've crossed has been like, well, maybe it's good. Now I'm self-reflective. They're like, look who's back. Maybe I'll just remind them of a local flavor. No, ZZ Top is back.

I had the same experience. I moved very far west, so I have to travel through Parkdale, which I guess as recently as 10 years ago was genuinely frightening. Right. But now it's like... There's still crazy people

who all get on at one specific stop. But the only reaction I... Crazyton. One stop crazyton. Like, I... At first, it just felt novel. And now the furthest I've gone from novel is I'm just annoyed by it now. Where I'm like, oh, another crazy person.

Come on, man. Another person who's going to talk loudly to me and not listen to my responses. Sounds like this podcast. But there's no threat. Yeah. That's the thing. What Dave was saying is everybody here is overwhelmingly nice. but there's no threat. Yeah. That's the thing. What Dave was saying is everybody here is overwhelmingly nice and the streets are overwhelmingly clean

and there's like a recycling program in your just garbage cans where you can decide where to put your litter and everybody has a compost. In Vancouver they have things where you just leave the cans out for homeless people to pick them up. Yeah, exactly. The mayor has incorporated homeless people into city planning.

So that it's just like, well, those guys are going to do it anyways, right? Put a place where they can get the cans. That sounds really wonderful. Is that not? Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, sure. We're not employing. I was like, we're employing homeless. No, wait, sure. We're not employing. I was like, we're employing homes. No, wait a minute.

We're doing the exact opposite. We're taking extreme advantage. We're enabling. Yeah. We're enabling. They'll never kick that collecting cans habit. Yeah. As long as we're.

As long as you keep leaving them around the house. This codependent relationship. I can't do it anymore. I finish a drink. He takes it into his bag. That's a guy or a girl who's dating a can collector. For my two-person show. Hey, my can.

I don't know. What would I call a two-person show. Hey, my can. I don't know. What would I call a two-person show? Anyways, guys. But yeah, you're finding Toronto lovely. You love it here. Toronto loves you. Yeah, some people in Toronto like me. No!

No! Since you've been here, tell us what has been your kind of favorite moment that's happened in Toronto that could only have happened in Toronto. Is there anything like that? Like with the crazies or just with being on the... The crazies or the tall buildings or the garbage. Yeah, or the tall buildings. Yeah.

The streetcars. Something that would never have happened in Halifax or Vancouver. Is there anything? Yeah, well, I mean, it's like, I think it has to do with the cab culture, maybe. Cash cab. I was not involved in the cash cab. Except in as much as I gave him cash and he provided a cab. Very straightforward.

I don't want to be on this show, but... Cab? I've had a number of insane conversations with cabbies. It's not a story off the top of my... But it's a story I've told before because it was the craziest thing that ever happened. It's literally what I requested. Period. You were like, set me up for this cab bit.

Yeah. We didn't do any... I watched Frank D'Angelo's show last night. I liked his style. I liked the way he served it up to the guests. I heard Frank does have mafia ties. That's something I heard. You made light of his ties.

They're really wide and he has a little pin. Yep. It was the only place he could go. Yeah. Right? So. I watched Goodfellas today Good movie Yeah yeah

You've seen Hugo? I haven't seen Hugo Does he incorporate a lot of classic rock into the beatings? Yeah at one point the movie stops being 3D because someone beats it out of the movie with fists. So, like, I feel guilty that this story is not off the top of my head,

but I think it's a testament to how, like, it was a life-changing experience. But I was in this cab with this cabbie, and I don't know what I said to him that in his mind triggered, triggered like here's my life story i'm pretty sure i just said how's it going and um he started out by telling me about his girlfriend that he has he was like 70 in greek and he met this woman on a call-in show and it was beautiful wow yeah like they both used to call in a lot and the host got to know them so well that he was like uh you two should talk outside of radio

it was a really beautiful story but then it just kept going and i did not prompt it but it's it just went to how upset he is with his life in general how he's but he came here from greece 20 years ago and hates it in canada and wishes he could go back but he can't start over and uh and then he like we back, but he can't start over. And then we were driving through this industrial area at midnight and he pulled up to a red light and then turned to me to give me a moral of his story. He said,

I feel like a lion in a cage here. A lion in a cage. And then he made eye contact with me and asked if I knew what he meant I was like I think I know what you mean and then I that's not the part the part is that I swear this is true at that moment and at midnight in this industrial part of toronto while we were at this red light this guy came driving down the road like the cross street uh driving down the middle of the

road in a wheelchair and he good one he was like he was laughing maniacally and he was wearing a birthday hat and he like definitely had down syndrome and i don't say that as like what an idiot i say that as like here we are and yeah and he drove down the middle of the road and then like turned left and passed our cab past my door and then turned a quick right and disappeared and all of that happened in about six seconds that i will never forget never yeah yeah and that's amazing yeah and like i uh i grew like i not not that i need to have done this but i grew like i had a like a foster sister with Down syndrome as I was growing up. She moved out. The point is, that's not a situation that should happen. After they move out, they usually have caretakers that are able to say,

it's midnight, don't go, don't leave. Don't head for the industrial part of Toronto, which is literally two miles from any residence where are you going and um with the birthday hat and also whose birthday was it but maybe the cabber to the whole thing

was that the cabbie continued telling his life story like watch this with me and then turned to me to continue his story And Cabby continued telling his life story, like, watch this with me. And then turned to me to continue his story. Like, that was not more important than what he had to say. Like a lion in a cage, I was saying. Anyway, if the world will stop interrupting us. Oh, Mark, you're just like one of the greatest dudes around.

If people want to see Rollertown, where can they? I don't know. It's got to be MoMA, right? You have to go to MoMA. You've got to go to MoMA. That is literally the only place that it is showing that we have scheduled that we know about. Like it might be they bury it after that. They might.

Come on. What? There are no other... Here are some other bands that are on the soundtrack. Yeah. No other... Here are some other bands that are on the soundtrack. Sure, you've heard of The Offspring and L7 and Soul Asylum. But have you heard of Flick? Have you heard of The Din Pedals? Have you heard of the Jim Brewer Project Goat Boy?

No one will ever listen to it I want to make a This is not just music from And inspired by the motion picture Of the Jerky Boys They sat down and they watched the film like,

I got an idea! I got an idea for a song called Prank Phone Call. I'm going to use a ringtone of mine. Oh, you are too? Come on!

I would like the Jerky Boys to do a live album. Yeah. Like do prank calls live in front of a studio audience and then the other

person on the line is like, who's laughing? I have caller ID. Live at the O2 Arena. The Jerky Boys. That is the fourth time I bought that thing. I'm sorry.

Well, I mean, the fourth makes sense, but let's backtrack to the other three. I went through a phase where I like to sell things. I don't know. Sure. You like to throw away Jerky Boys CDs. I like to throw away Jerky Boys.. I like to throw away Jerky Boys. I'm like, nah. And then I'm like, oh, my God.

I remember when I was listening to that. It's just full of glee. Childlike wonder. How do they do that? Well, you know what? They did it by, I don't know why. I don't know how. I don't know why.

I don't know. Jerky Boys, that was podcasts before podcasts were around, right? We based our podcast largely on the Jerky Boys That was That was podcast Before podcasts were around Right They really We based our podcast Largely on the Jerky Boys Yeah They might be the forefathers

Yeah Of podcasts Oh god bless them The two fathers There's only two of them Is there only two Jerky Boys They haven't started A league of Jerky Boys

Although they did They did have a parting of ways From what I understand Oh really Yeah Yikes They were jerky to each other Which was their first rule.

Never be jerky to the jerky boys. Only be jerky to the outside world. The one guy lost his shoes and glasses, and it's because the other one stole it. That's a jerky boys reference. Nobody will get it. Now, Bob Kerr, you are split.

We were just talking with Mark Little. He moved to Toronto from Halifax You split your time between Toronto and Halifax That's right How is it? Is it okay? How friendly are the people? I hear very They're aggressively friendly Gross

Explain what does that mean Aggressively friendly Are they just always waiting for an opportunity? Yeah People are always like Hey come on come on, crash my couch. I'm like, no, I got a place. No, do it. Come on.

I don't have the couch. Fluffing his pillow in front of your face. Feathers are flying out. It's like a cartoon. A Chuck Jones animated special. Well, if that wasn't the greatest drift off, I don't know what is. Cartoon like a Chuckuk-chunk. Chuk-chunk.

That's how I do my comedy. It's all trail-offs. Now, Overheard, you're aware of the segment. I'm aware of the segment, yeah, yeah, yeah. You said at the beginning... Now, before we do Overheard, it's time for my favorite segment of all. at the beginning. Now before we do overhears,

it's time for my favorite segment of all. This is a segment called Celebrity Birthdays where like very many entertainment shows of our ilk, we celebrate the

birthdays of celebrities. We are recording this on Saturday, March the 3rd. Dave, before you do that, I have to do my favorite segment.

A little segment called Hulk Hogan News. Hulk Hogan News, everybody. What's new with Hulk Hogan this week? Every week, Graham... I investigate. I go under the radar. I put on a bandana. I travel in Hulkamaniac circles.

At my own peril to collect all the greatest Hulk Hogan news from around the world. Hulk Hogan. Do you use some kind of internet search for this? Yeah. You go brother and then you just put that in Google. Then you do some prayers, take some vitamins. Brother plus vitamins plus prayers. Click, I'm feeling lucky.

Hulk Hogan did an interview this week with a website called One Wrestling. Which wouldn't work. Right? You need two to wrestle. Yeah. What is the sound of one man wrestling?

Yeah. Brother! I don't know. If that one man is Hulk Hogan. Yeah! No, I don't know who that is. Grunt noise. Hulk Hogan talked about his old nemesis, the Ultimate Warrior, in an interview.

He said during WrestleMania VI, the Ultimate Warrior was unprepared and very unprofessional. And Hulk Hogan said it's one of the worst matches he's ever participated with anybody in in his entire career. And he also called the Ultimate Warrior a pussy. Them's wrestling words. When was WrestleMania 6? Oh, like early 90s-ish, right? 80s? Yeah. V1 isish, right? 80s? Yeah.

V1 is six, right? That's how it was on the website, and I was like, that's four or six. I do not know. Why does WWE assume that their fans know Roman numerals? They're pretty bright. Well, that's great Hulk Hogan news. Yeah. He didn't sound so ultimate, if you ask me.

No doubts, right? Yeah, yeah. Now, backtracking to celebrity birthdays. Big happy birthday to Jessica Biel, who turns the big 3-0 today. Whoa. End of career. Yeah, right? Yeah.

Happy birthday to public radio nerd Ira Glass who's 53 today. End of career. Yeah, right? Bud Bundy, David Faustino, is 38 today. Hey! David Faustino! He made it!

Right? We didn't think he would. And the answer to this week's trivia question, this rapper and actor liked him some funky cold medina. Tone Loke is... Tone Loke. How old is Tone Loke?

Pardon me. 46 today. 46? Wow! If I can also add to this with a non-celebrity birthday, it is my brother John's birthday today. Happy birthday, John Curran. Are you sleeping, brother John? So true. Now, here's a quick just anecdote about David Faustino. Remember when we were trying to come up with a name for the podcast?

You were like, what name could we go with? And my first suggestion was The Faustino. Remember when we were trying to come up with a name for the podcast? You were like, what name could we go with? And my first suggestion was The Faustino Factor. Would we be here today? Oh, we would be huge. Faustino would be here. We'd be in Sky Dome. Oh, yeah.

That'd be so misleading. You'd get all of these listeners and they'd be like, I need me some Faustino. Oh, we would do it it as a matter of course. When Dave said come up with a name, I also just thought, well, let's do a podcast about David Faustino. Just classic Faustino moments. In a way, we've always been doing it. Do you guys remember when he was like... That's when he was carrying us.

Remember when he was just trying something underhanded to get with a girl? What? I remember that episode. It's a bit like... He was a rapper. He was one of the first. Right? There was Tone Loke and then him and then Coolio. They've only been

seven rappers ever. Guys, we have some overheard business to take care of. For real. Let's take care of it. Now, the way that we do it at the live taping is we're going to start, of course, with our guest, and then we're going to work around, and then we're going to invite people of the audience to come up and share their overheards until we say enough's enough. Pretty early, probably.

Before you're ready for it to be over. Now, Bob, before the show you said I don't have an overheard, but then you remember you had one from a friend? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm going to credit my friend Craig Brown with this one. Craig Brown, happy birthday. Happy birthday to Craig Brown. I love you, Craig.

So he emailed this to me immediately when he heard it. What is your email address, Bob? Oh, of course. I could actually give it, and now I wouldn't give it. Come on. No, you'll get things. That's a great thing. We have the most fantastic audience in the history of podcasts.

If you put it out there, you're going to get some nice emails. Feel free to email me at thisisbobsemail at gmail. Oh, nice. There you go. Thisisbobsemail at gmail. It's easy. Nice. You're in trouble. I'll take it. I don't care. I don't care. What's the worst? My inbox fills up with what? I can read it.

No. I like to do that. So my buddy, Craig, he was on the subway. And there was these two guys just having a very intellectual conversation about AIDS. Global AIDS. Sure. Global AIDS. Like AIDS around the world.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like altogether AIDS. Yeah, AIDS across America. You know, the thing that unites us and and it was and these two guys were talking about it

and one guy was like did you know that there is 1.3 million children with AIDS and then the other guy's like what I want to know is who's letting

all these kids have sex some good subway logic And the other guy's like, what I want to know is who's letting all these kids have sex. Some good subway logic. Right on the subway, ladies and gentlemen. Blur line. Oh, man. A couple of detectives. It all comes down to parenting.

I think one of them was Christopher Hitchens. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Before he dies. Now, Dave, do think one of them was Christopher Hitchens. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Before he dies. Now, Dave, do you have an overheard? I do. Mine is an overseen.

It is from the city of Toronto. I was walking past a store on Bay Street. The beautiful Bay. And it was some good vandalism. It was a sign

that someone had removed a letter from. And it was a store and theyism. It was a sign that someone had removed a letter from, and it was a store, and their awning... Their store was supposed to be called Shoe Therapy, but someone had removed the S, and it was called Ho Therapy. Pretty good, Toronto. There is something else on Bay Street.

I was with my friend yesterday. I never noticed this. It's on Bay and Dundasas Right beside the Greyhound Terminal There is a barber shop You get your barbering done Hello I'm not good I'm not good on key

Anyways you get your hair cut there And beside the barber place Is a A barber Like Anyways, you get your hair cut there. And beside the barber place is a barber tools shop. Like where you need all your barbering done. A scissor shop? Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, their only customer has to be their neighbor.

Like, who is going to be like, I need Barbasol. I need 10 gallons of Barbasol. And you'll be in until Monday. Yeah. I told you, two weeks in advance. Remind me your name again. I work next door. I'm here every day.

Scissor Pete. The worst is the 10-minute wait line, you know? It's just hundreds of people just clamoring for barber supplies. I need my scalp massager repaired. Now, Graham. Yes. You're also an integral part of this show. Oh, go on.

And I wonder if you haven't overheard. I haven't overseen. Similar to yours in that it's a graffiti. It is the most polite graffiti I have ever witnessed. It is the most polite graffiti I have ever witnessed in all my years of appreciating graffiti. This is as polite a graffiti as you will ever see because there's a series of ads on the Toronto subway for a morning DJ duo called Roz and Mocha. Goodness. Very popular.

Gracious. I noticed on the signs oh wait never mind shush the two Roz and Mocha for anybody who's listening at home

Mocha just looks he just looks like a guy looks like any other guy and you know just like he's just a guy he could be

he could be working at Barbara Pete's he could be doing any number of things. Roz, that is most certainly the only job he could ever have had outside of Vegas musician.

Not musician, magician. Sorry. Because he looks a little bit like Garth Brooks Chris Gaines persona. And then a little bit like Chris Angel. It's the meeting of the two Chrises. And they've done these ads

in a style that it looks like the cover of Esquire magazine. Rolling Stone. Well, it's Rolling Stone but it's how they do it on it. Anyways, it's a lot of writing. Are you sure? What's the one about style and music? Anyways, there's a bunch of, you know, like, it's like there's articles in this fake magazine that they've made.

Like, you're supposed to, like, ooh, it was amazing. I don't know. I don't know if that's what they're going for. Like, maybe a Rosamund magazine. But there's a bunch of questions like, you know, what did you learn today? Or, like, just something like a little glib. That is one of you know what did you learn today? Or just something like a little glib. That is one of them. What did you learn today? And then there's a question on the

Raw's one that says is this really Toronto's sexiest man? And somebody has written on a little removable sticker in the nicest printing that you've ever seen. Not a chance. And affixed it

to the poster. That's beautiful. Not a chance, Roz. But the one thing we both noticed on one of those posters, I think it was for non-Roz. Mocha? Mocha. It was, it said

Drunk Dial Much. Yeah, Drunk Dial. It was it said drunk dial much. Yeah, drunk dial much and it gave a phone number that you could drunk dial and who wants to hear that? Well, maybe it was to drunk dial much. Is it killing? I want to see Eve 6. Inside out, please.

Play more videos. Where's Speaker's Corner? Bring back electric circuits. Bring back electric circuits. Bring back electric circuits. More intimate, less interactive. So now we're going to turn it over to our live theater audience here at the Comedy Bar in Toronto.

I was recently in the hospital, and my mom came and helped me out. And the waiting room, after the normal waiting room when you're in the gown and everything, and you're waiting for the doctor to come in, there was another dude in front of us, and he was telling us the whole story to the doctor of his medical history and everything. And he just kept on going on and on, like he had his bladder removed, his gallbladder removed, his appendix five feet of his intestines. And me and my mom are just laughing, saying, we're here for nothing. Come on. And so, yeah.

Pretty great. Pretty great. Pretty great. It feels like the bladder removed. It seems like that was like, ooh, whoops. Yeah, yeah. Like the gallbladder is the one you remove. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The bladder is like. It is a service you can get at the hospital, though.

Oh, man. You know, if the police car was on fire, there's things that you can buy that you throw into the fire and they make it like rainbow colors. I've never heard of that. And that would make it the best prize. Yeah, right? That's what I was thinking. It's just one step away from being good. Rainbow flames.

Sure. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? There's like things you can throw in a fire and it makes a rainbow color? Makes it more dangerous. Makes it more toxic. Yeah, makes fire more. Yeah, the firemen would show up be like, I can't fight this. Are you kidding me?

Rainbow flames. There's nothing in the manual. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We need to go to school for this. Ours is orange and only. Orange. Now there was one more that you pointed out and then that's it. No, there's this person and then that person, and then that's it.

Y'all know that's sick as hell. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't get to move on yet. Tell us about the 3D TV. Do you need a special little... You gotta wear goggles. Do you need to plug them in? Also, also, also, are there any shows shot in 3D?

There aren't, right? None. Absolutely none. And it's the worst. It is the worst thing to be... I'll be watching a movie with my girlfriend. I'll be like, yeah, this is a good part. And I'll be like watching a movie With my girlfriend And I'll be like Yeah this is a good part

And I'll like look over And she's wearing the 3D goggles And I'm like Eww I hate this Yeah And I found out that this like We like

Heavily modded 3D goggles. I'm into the hack scene. Yep. Your steampunk 3D glasses. Have you seen the wild, wild spider roaming around? It's awesome in 3D. So I've been watching a lot of 3D flicks. Mostly animated movies. So that's been watching a lot of 3D flicks Mostly animated movies So that's been fun

What's been the best so far In terms of the television 3D effect? 3D? Do you need to buy a special DVD? Or Blu-ray or 3D-ray? It's like I have a PlayStation 3 So you can do it through the PlayStation 3

So that's usually where we get the 3D stuff. And we've only really seen maybe three 3D movies. 90. That was the worst. And I think the best one, I'm going to say Final Destination 5. Five noughts. Oh, man.

No spoiler or whatever, but that twist at the end, right? If you've seen any of the previous Four Final Destinations If you haven't, then it really It's like the twist at the end is like You have to see the first four To get the fifth. But it's really strong.

What a horrible thing. Right? Oh, the twist is real. Oh, but you have to sat through four of these terrible films. Oh, but the twist is really worth it. Guys. Oh, wait. What was the second thing?

Yeah. Your second Yeah you got You got a 3D thing for your birthday 3D TV That fizzled out Yeah That we

We really wound that one into the ground Yeah And then I get I just Just work Yeah Alright

But it's a I'm a stripper So it's a hot job I don't know I know that Like Dave You're not a frequenter Of strip clubs

I don't know if Connor If you are But You are Oh yeah sure of course Look at me Are you kidding me No he's not

I don't want you to think less of him But you know When I was When I In Alberta When I turned like 18 You were allowed to go Into strip clubs and stuff

And drink Yeah right And 18 Bieber And yeah exactly Me and Justin Bieber Both

And sometimes you would see a stripper Strip to a song that you really liked And it would just ruin that song Really like Vagina up that song Not that that's bad But it like Sometimes like

Runaway Train was not the song You know what I mean Why did I beg that Slowest strip in the world Yeah It's so sad. And at the end, she holds up a phone number to call. She's got milk cartons on her.

You ever seen these missing kids? Gross. Gross. Now, Connor, we have brought you on here to do, we wanted to do a segment, and we were talking about it last night. Well, what we do from time to time is we will take two celebrities who we kind of remind us of each other. Like we've done Dermot Mulroney and Dylan McDermott. We did the Bill Pullman, Bill Paxton before it was popular. We did Alba and Beale, your Jessicas. We did Bow Wow

and Romeo, your Lils. Yeah. And tonight, we thought we would compare two people who are similar looking and a local tie-in. Actor Brian Dennehy and Mayor

Rob Ford. Rob Ford. He's okay. When we told Connor about this thing last night, he lost his mind with how great he thought it was going to be, right? You were like, yes! Like you were doing air punches. Snaps like, yeah, he does look like Rob Ford.

Yeah, they're big. White hair. Now, for the home listener, just Google who these people are and look what they look like. If you're from Toronto, you probably know what Rob Ford looks like. Handsome. He's the most handsome man. Brian Dennehy, if you don't know, he was in First Blood. He was the sheriff.

He was in Tommy Boy. He played Tommy Boy's dad, Big Tom. Mr. Callahan. Yes. Callahan Motors. And other stuff. I don't know FX He was in FX

Oh he was in FX FX2 as well And he was also In a movie about boxing Where he kept Putting his head down And the person would Punch the top of his skull

And break their hand Was it Gladiator Starring Cuba Gooding Jr I think it might have been FX2 I think I'm thinking So the way this works

Is I say a word Or a phrase, and our contestants, Connor and... Cheetah Bowser. Yeah. Greg need to say whether the word or phrase is more Brian Dennehy or more Rob Ford. Right. So, for instance, I don't know. Butts. I don't have an example one.

I'm going Dennehy on that one. I'm going to also say, well, no, you know what? I'm going to say Rob Ford. I'm going to be contrary. My instinct says Dennehy, but you know what? Rob Ford likes himself some butts.

What's the answer on that one? There is no right answer. Oh, what? We're going to start kind of easy. The later questions will be harder. Okay. First one. Martha Stewart. Martha Stewart.

That isn't actually that easy. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. That's the easiest one. Okay. I'm going to go Brian Dennehy on Martha Stewart. I'm going to go ahead and agree with Connor and say I feel like Brian Dennehy probably made like a bunt cake. Brian Dennehy is good friends with Martha Stewart. That was my reasoning.

I was like, yeah, they probably met each other. Dennehy's kind of in the same scene. Same stockbrokers. Is that right? Yeah. Is that really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really.

According to IMDB Next one Wow The word is pinko Oh, that's Ford That's Rob Ford That's Ford

That's Rob Ford forever He just looks pink He's the pinkest mayor in Canada He briefly dated pink That was his campaign slogan Pinka Yeah Millionaire racist Don Cherry used the word pinko He briefly dated pink. That was his campaign slogan. Pinka. Yeah.

Millionaire racist Don Cherry used the word pinko at least four times during a speech at Rob Ford's inauguration. There you go. True. Casually. And Rob Ford also uses his pinkies all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got one really long nail. It's his button-pressing finger. I can touch this button with my finger.

Oh, can you believe he's got his fingernail on the button? Guys, you voted him in. The next word is Tony. Oh, that could be either the Broadway musical award or some guy. Or Frank D'Angelo. I feel like it was Guido. Oh, man, that's a tough one. Broadway musical award or some guy. Or Frank D'Angelo. I feel like it was Guido. Oh, man.

That's a tough one. Brian Dennehy does have a lot of friends named Tony. But there's no way that Brian Dennehy won a Tony. Or is there? It's a musical award, right? Well, it's Broadway awards, so it's not necessarily musicals.

It could be anything on Broadway. Then I'm going to go Dennehy on that one. Because he is a famous theater actor. Yeah, just to shake it up, I'm going to say Rob Ford. Even though I'm gonna go Dennehy on that one Cause he is a famous theater actor Yeah just to shake it up I'm gonna say Rob Ford Even though I lean towards the Dennehy Brian Dennehy has won Two Tony Awards

For his role as Mr. Mephistopheles In Cats Oh what? No! That's not true He was in Death of a Salesman and something else. I don't know. Plays are dumb. The next one is cocoon. Oh, I think we all know where this one's going.

Yeah, that's a Dennehy, right? That's got to be Dennehy. Or a Brimley. Mayor Rob Ford once ate a bunch of butterfly cocoons off a branch because he thought it was a marshmallow tree. Oh, that was close. The next word is orientals I think Brian Denny played one

Yeah, in Breakfast at Tiffany's I think he adopted Hollywood had problems in the early days I'm going to say that that's a Rob Ford. Oh, I got to go Rob Ford on that one, too. In a 2008 debate, Mayor Rob Ford referred to Asians as Orientals. He later apologized, stating that he meant to say Chinamen. I think that's, I remember that.

I think in the paragraph that he set up about that, he used orientals about five times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He uses it in place of pinkos. The next word is Ted. Ted. Brian Dennehy probably did a Ted talk about Tommy Boy starring in... Yeah, facts about Tommy Boy. How to star in Tommy Boy. How to die early in Tommy Boy. in... Yeah. Facts about Tommy Boy. How to star in Tommy Boy.

How to die early in Tommy Boy. Spoilers. I want to go Tommy Boy, or I want to go Brian Dennehy. Face it. You think he's Tommy Boy. I only know Brian Dennehy from Tommy Boy. The other night I told Dave, I was like, yeah, Brian Dennehy's dead, right? Dave's like, no, he just died in Tommy Boy.

But for the sake of argument. I feel bad because both of these men, like, they don't look good. They could be dead by the end of this podcast. But for the sake of argument, I'm going to go for Rob Ford. I think he knows a lot of Ted's. of argument, I'm going to go for Rob Ford. I think he knows a lot of Ted's. Brian Dennehy starred in the 1996

version of Romeo and Juliet as Ted Montague. Way to update it. We'll just call him Ted Montague. This is Buck Capulet. I'm Ted Montague. These are my kids. I'm Ted Montague. These are my kids.

Romeo. Is Romeo Montague? No, yeah. Juliet Capulet. My kids, Romeo. Devin. Yeah. Brad.

Yeah. Kyle. They're all boys. I'm like the opposite of Casey at the Met. And Mercutio. Yeah. The black kid. From Lost. And finally,

the final, I think you guys are tied. By the way. Yep. The final word is Doug. Oh, that's, yeah, I'm going to say that's definitely Rob Ford. I got to go Rob Ford on that one. Why are you saying that? Because that is the name of his brother, who is a city councilor? Yep.

Well, you're both right, but for the wrong reasons. Mayor Rob Ford wants Doug a two-week-old burrito between two couch cushions and ate it. Oh, man. That was a hot round of Denny Heath versus Rob Ford. Connor, if people want to find out more about you, where do they go? Online or whatever? I'm all over the internet. Tell me about it. GoDaddy.com. Where do they go? Online or whatever? I'm all over the internet.
