Starting point is 00:03:34 I'm sitting at a table, but I'm not sitting at a table. Yeah. Also, I mean, it's a lot of water. There's a lot of stuff. You know, this is a real... I was going to say Regis and Kelly, but it's not. It's Kelly and Michael Strahan. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:03:51 The Kelly and Michael Strahan report. Have you guys been watching the new Kelly with Michael Strahan show every morning at 9? Yeah, absolutely. Your unemployed-os do. But everybody else is all too good. Oh, what? do. But everybody else is all too good. I guess what I want to ask you is for the home listener,
Starting point is 00:04:11 Graham came out dressed in stand-up for the people. Graham is wearing a jean pant, a jean vest, a sleeveless tee, and a...an vest, a sleeveless tee. It didn't come sleeveless. I had to make it so. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Yeah. And how many gold chains are you wearing? At least six. And it's Halloween time, so they're very easy to find at every retailer. I got a number one to signify that we got the Georgia Straight thing. Treat yourself. Celebrate. And I got
Starting point is 00:04:50 this Dracula pendant to signify that I'm not afraid anymore. Fool me once. Yeah. Shame on Drac You Yep, absolutely I spent that summer in Transylvania
Starting point is 00:05:15 It was the worst So yeah I'm also wearing this costume As Like to show some respect because LMFAO broke up. R.I.P. We'll see you guys in heaven.
Starting point is 00:05:36 It was a death pact. They're related. They're an uncle and a nephew. They're an uncle and a nephew and then in the report that I read today, the report, guys, I woke up early. Check the wires.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I quickly watched Kelly and Michael Strahan, and it was right down to business. Your Google alert for LMFAO went off. Usually it's just people tweeting about how funny Michael and Kelly are. Yeah, yeah, exactly. LMFAO, the older guy, he's the uncle guy's 37, and he's the guy with the big poofy hairdo.
Starting point is 00:06:16 And I can't remember, there's Sky Blue and Red Foo are their names, legally. And the older guy, he's going to pursue his passion for coaching sports. For real. He coaches a gymnastic team and he's also going to go back to his first love of tennis.
Starting point is 00:06:38 And so he's just... Do those guys know that they stumbled on a gold mine just by accidentally being the biggest assholes ever? Yeah. Do they know that that's not going to happen again when they're like, oh, I'm 45. Let's get back into the pop music scene.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Do you think maybe they broke up six months ago, but their PR people were too embarrassed to say, I can't say you're going to coach tennis. Yeah. You just put out your first album. This is very embarrassing. I can't wait to hear the B-sides.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Oh, imagine. Party in the what? Party in the where? What time is the party? A 2 p.m. party? They cut it out because the world wasn't ready for it. But now, how long do you think you could stay in a band with your uncle
Starting point is 00:07:29 which uncle pick one because I have one uncle that I feel he's very entertaining he's very into party rocking yeah exactly he's sexy and he knows it so with him I feel like we...
Starting point is 00:07:46 Well, it depends on how much time we have to spend in Miami. Because I don't like the heat, but he might. He might like the whole... Anyways. And then I have an uncle that's a homeless guy. And so he... Is that where you get it from? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Absolutely. But it would be all jug music. Washboard. Yeah, yeah. Zydeco. Zydeco? What is a Zydeco?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Zydeco is like New Orleans homeless music. As featured on Treme. Yeah. Now, anyways, LMFAO. Like the reunion tour six months from now. When they realize there's no money in coaching a gymnastics team and being the nephew of a guy who coaches a gymnastics team.
Starting point is 00:08:44 They didn't break up. They said they went on a hiatus. And when LMFAO goes, never mind. Nope, nope, nope. Come on. All right. Here we go. Restart.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Go. When LMFAO goes on a hiatus, do they say BRB? There we go. Worth it. Worth it. Worth it. Worth it. Don't pretend.
Starting point is 00:09:06 There's a guy way in the back wearing a white baseball cap and I think he maybe likes LMFAO because he has not cracked a smile no
Starting point is 00:09:13 like he is not LMFAO yeah yeah exactly BRB after I fucked these guys up
Starting point is 00:09:23 I mean I can't figure F-T-L-A-F-A-O is there a like a like a um uh BRB after I fucked these guys up. I mean, I can't figure out if F, T... Is there like a... like a... some kind of internet shorthand for not laughing at all? Well, yeah. N-L-A-A?
Starting point is 00:09:35 Yeah. Or... No, later, alcoholics and ominous. Did I say... Abominous? Well, it's all... Alcoholics abominable.
Starting point is 00:09:48 That's where you sit around and complain about the worst alcoholics that you know. The Yeti comes by. They're making a movie out of that. A kokanee commercial. No, they're not. Yeah, they are. Right? Television?
Starting point is 00:10:05 A Canadian movie? Yeah. No. Yeah, of courseanee commercial. No, they're not. Yeah, they are, right? Television? A Canadian movie? Yeah. No, well, yeah, of course. No American. No American company wants to throw away money that badly that they would finance a purely Canadian film. They would finance... A distributor for that movie
Starting point is 00:10:22 that has made the whole Middle East explode with riots got a distributor faster than any Canadian film. Right? If somebody was like, no, it's a Sarah Pauly, it's very emotional. Yeah, yeah. You're like, I want that inflammatory one that looks like it was shot on a green screen. So the plot of the Kokanee commercials, as I recall... Was drink Kokanee.
Starting point is 00:10:49 There is a Yeti, or a Sasquatch, or an abominable snowman, depending where you're from. A Bigfoot. And he wants the Kokanee. He loves it! This seems like it would be an animated ad where you're getting lucky charms. Oh, no. But it's not. No, it's a real-life person. It's more like a whodunit.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Like, who drank the kokanee? Was it the Sasquatch that loves kokanee? It was. And then... Yeah. Mystery solved. But he's, like, a cool Sasquatch, and he, like, snowboards,
Starting point is 00:11:24 and there's bikini women who are super into him. Yeah, yeah. Really weird bikini women. Yeah. Who don't feel the cold of the snow. But there's nothing... It's not weirder than any other Canadian film. There's a lady that's in love with a Sasquatch.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I don't know. I've never seen a Canadian film. Oh, really? Oh, I guess I've seen the peanut butter solution. Yeah. What? Yeah, there we go. What is that? That's the kid goes bald and then has to put a bunch of crap in a blender and put it on his head.
Starting point is 00:11:56 That's like real modern baldness. That's like, it's like a prophecy that you have to put weird shit on your head to not go bald. Anyway, or hat. That's not as weird shit on your head to not go bald. Anyway, or a hat. That's not as weird as the shit as the peanut butter resolution. But yeah, that is a weird Canadian movie. Yeah. Well, I didn't... I had no idea.

No. I don't even own sleeves. I was a little bit worried coming up here with them I thought maybe I was at risk of losing them
Starting point is 00:18:49 With sleeves? Have you ever performed? I pulled them up as high as I can go Out of respect They won't go up any higher than that I'm very worried about my arms They don't get out Ever
Starting point is 00:19:04 You know what I mean? This is their first sojourn out in public about my arms. They don't get out ever. You know what I mean? This is their first sojourn out in public. You bring Never Nude to a whole new level. Yeah, absolutely. And you waited for the last day of summer. Yeah. Alright. See you later, stinker of summer. What is this we were sent?
Starting point is 00:19:22 Oh, that's like a... Some kind of... You know what that is? Some sort of alcohol. You know, I got a real refined palate when it comes to that. That's not just a watered-down Coca-Cola. Yeah. The drinking has slowed down the conversation. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:19:43 It absolutely has. You were singing Savage Garden. Yeah. So you tour constantly. You're one of the biggest acts in Canada, right? Come on. Top two. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Top two. Absolutely. We do tour a lot. And how is it? Are you guys in a van? Are you on planes? What are you doing? Funny you should ask.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I just bought a new trailer today. Ownership! It is a bigger trailer with a ramp and a side door. Oh, good. So you can fit more shit inside. Yeah. Do you have something on the outside of it? Do you paint?
Starting point is 00:20:20 Yeah, well, you know, we thought about that and then we decided that would basically be the lamest thing ever. Yeah. Touche. Probably why I'm not on tour. Actually, I know of a band that did that.
Starting point is 00:20:34 They like had this whole elaborate like band thing on the side of the trailer and I bet that that's like 35% of the reason why they got all of their gear stolen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Oh, that is really... It's like advertising. It's like, there are expensive instruments inside of this trailer. Also, maybe a sword or two. It was Gwar. If Gwar had their trailer stolen, that would be the heart.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Right? If Gwar had to just go out and do an acoustic... Let's go out and do it like an acoustic. Just go out there with a bottle of ketchup. Gwar. Unarmed. Yeah. We lost all our blood and shoulder pads. What are we going to do with these 35 gallons of fake semen? We're going to sell it for what it's worth.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Let's start a guar cover band. Smar. Smaller guar. It makes sense. You got my drift. Smar. Same wavelength. And then when the concert's done, you want Samar.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Yeah. And that's when we dump the semen on their heads. Hope you brought your semen cap. What if they were like serial semen robbers? Did you just put serial and semen in the same? But what if they were like the wet bandits of semen? Isn't everybody technically... Look what you did, you little jerk-off.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Yeah. The cum burglar. Nobody caught my Home Alone reference there, no? What did you say? Well, in the thing, they go like, look what you did, you little jerk. Oh, right. So the wet bandits of semen would say,
Starting point is 00:22:21 look what you did, you little jerk-off. You filthy animal, right? Yeah, absolutely. Look. That was actually the funniest thing I've ever said. And we talked right over it. Before we go too far down this Semen river. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Okay. Old Semen river. Old semen river. I wanted to ask you about, you were in the news recently because you planted a bomb on a bus. I only scanned the news. No, there was a, your name popped up in a news story
Starting point is 00:23:00 because someone in Victoria left a suspicious looking package on the bus, which was like a beer box that had been wrapped up with electrical tape. And so they sent in the bomb squad. And what did they find inside? It was on a bus that was parked in front of Parliament Hill or whatever you call it. Parliament Mini Hill. Parliament Mound in Yeah. Parliament mound.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Parliament mar. Yeah. And there was a, yeah, exactly. It was like this raggedy beer case wrapped in duct tape. And I think it was like somebody's funny rapping job and they were sending a gift to their friend and inside it was a Dan Mangan t-shirt and some other crap and like a note saying
Starting point is 00:23:43 have fun at the music festival or whatever. And the funny thing is that uh we found the news what do you call it story yeah i mean look i don't know in your culture what they call it i call it a news album and so i tweeted it because I thought it was amusing and somebody got in touch with me and they're like hey man that was my t-shirt but I'm too afraid to go to the cops because I think I'm going to get in trouble
Starting point is 00:24:13 is there any way you can help me get it back what are you fucking kidding me regardless do you think it's just going to end up coming to me? Yeah. Oh yeah, the cops dropped it off this morning.
Starting point is 00:24:31 This guy narrowly avoided a charge of terrorism. And he's most concerned about his shirt. Oh, you know who was on the shirt? I'm going to write to that fucking guy. See if he can't send this whole disaster straight. What would he have done if it was a Bob Marley shirt? What if it was I'm with stupid? He's not even alive anymore.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Yeah, it's true. Yeah. One love. And so he really contacted you? And he said, can you help me out shirt wise dude i had one shirt and one of them has been exploded by the police yeah did the cops did they did they blow it up or did they just like no no no they i guess they like got a bomb score they got like a little robot to go like they spent like 17 million dollars yeah got a robot to go on the bus and examine it,
Starting point is 00:25:25 and it was like the Mars rover. And then it turned out it didn't have any explosives in it, so they opened it up, and that's when they realized that it was... That is... I mean, the fact that somebody is like, dude, sorry about connecting you
Starting point is 00:25:38 to a terrorist thing by accident. Do you have any extra shirts of your own face? Okay, so yeah, maybe that was it. Maybe he didn't think that I was going to get the shirt back. Maybe he just thought I would hook him up with another one. Oh yeah, no, I'm sure. Well, maybe in his head he was like, the cops are going to deliver that
Starting point is 00:25:56 shirt back to you, and then I'll just wait outside Dan Mankin's house with a bomb. It's like follow the Hansel and Gretel t-shirt trail, and you'll know where to go. Do you think maybe you're just too accessible to your fans? I questioned it Wow You know but then I think about
Starting point is 00:26:14 The rapping jobs I've done around Christmas And stuff have not been Like if they hadn't been delivered right to the person They would all look like terrorists Right? Yeah You know what I mean? You know how you mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Because it was just like a piece. You know how you put wrapping paper on and then you try and tape it and it just rips the paper and so you just tape the piece of paper on one side of it? That looks like a crazy person. You don't know your own strength. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Absolutely. When it comes to paper, rah! Yeah. I'm always angry. Rah! You're like the Hulk of gift wrapping. Yeah. Absolutely, I'm the paper. I'm always angry. You're like the Hulk of gift wrapping. Absolutely, I'm the Hulk of gifts.
Starting point is 00:26:52 A lot of things are mangled when I get them. Well, paper cover rocks. Oh, thanks, Hulk. Another rock. You wouldn't like me when I'm appreciative. You go to unwrap it. He's like, no, you scissor. Don't tear like Savage. Wow.
Starting point is 00:27:22 We have a lot of fun. We do. What else is awesome? Well, what else is awesome is what I was going. We do. What else is awesome? Well, what else is awesome is what I was going to ask you. What else is going on? You bought a trailer? You got married? Well, you can retire.
Starting point is 00:27:34 It's all downhill. I think that's it. It's like marriage, trailer. I think trailer equals dog and picket fence together. Yeah, right? Do you have a dog? No, man, I wish. Really?
Starting point is 00:27:44 What kind of dog? Some kind of typically, this is like something you could include in that book, stuff that white people like. Dogs? Any kind of dog that ends in doodle. Oh, yeah. Oh, my. Cheese doodle. No, well, I mean, you know, people don't like fur in their
Starting point is 00:28:03 apartments, so you got a dog that's hypoallergenic. Yeah. Everybody wins. So are you, is this a plan? Are you going to get a dog? Commit to it. We want a commitment from you tonight. We want you to get engaged to a dog.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I think I travel too much. I travel too much for, I would have like a lonely dog. Get a travel dog. Travel dog. Like a little dog that you can. Is that kind of like. On our last tour actually. That was a weird noise that came out of the audience.
Starting point is 00:28:32 It was a real. Okay. I don't mean to take our conversation continually down the gutter, but. Yeah, yeah. But let's do it. So every, you know, we travel constantly. And everywhere, the only common denominator between the entire world, between, like, all the places that we've toured, many, many countries, there's only one common denominator.
Starting point is 00:28:54 And that is that every rest stop washroom has a travel pussy. I don't know what any of the last words you said mean. I mean, I know those words individually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you put, you know, it's like a condom dispenser in public restrooms, right? Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:12 So I mean, I guess there's like all these lonely truckers going around and they stop at these rest stops so they buy this like $2 thing. It's called a travel pussy. And I don't... It should cost more. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:24 You know what I mean? I don't think it should be $ mean? It is undervalued. But so we'd seen it for like six years of on the road and we're all like oh, Dremel, that would be funny. But I don't have two bucks. And then our tour manager bought one on the last tour
Starting point is 00:29:39 just to figure out what it is and we couldn't even understand what you do with it. I mean, it seems simple when I think about what that would be. But the actual, you have to fill it up with water, but then I don't know. You do it in the bathroom of the truck stop? I don't know. Don't mind me.
Starting point is 00:29:59 What do you fill up with water? Describe it. Basically, it's like a plastic shopping bag that's shaped... I don't even know. So it was designed by somebody who's never seen a vagina. It's somebody who's like, this I think is a pretty close approximation. Like a plastic shopping bag with water in it. I'm just waiting to see that guy with the headset and the infomercials try to sell it.
Starting point is 00:30:26 The ShamWow dude or whatever. I didn't, you know, I've been in a lot of bathrooms. God knows. I've spent a lot of time in a lot of bathrooms. I've never seen a thing for a travel pussy. I mean, sure, a stay at home, a local version. Really? So that's a thing.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I thought it was always just the condoms and then rub-on tattoos, which were always like the opposite end of the spectrum. About to have sex, never have had sex ever. Right? Like it's two in the same box.
Starting point is 00:31:03 But it's a choice that you're faced with. But can you imagine somebody's two in the same box but it's a choice that you're faced with but can you imagine like somebody's walking in just as you're doing it and you were going to press the travel pussy button but instead you press like sailor moon tattoo you start applying it on your forehead they should just have a claw machine where you can win like a travel pussy
Starting point is 00:31:22 you know what that would go so wrong so fast in a truck stop bathroom because then the claw becomes the travel pussy. Yeah, exactly. Some guy would stick his thing in the slot and then just get the claw.

Starting point is 00:38:27 know Dave first? Absolutely. Sure. And we just work our way around. Dave, what's going on with you? Well, last night I went to a show as a part of the Oleo Festival. I went to go see our friends Pat Kelly and Pete Oldring in This Is That live. Fantastic show. That was a great show. Yeah, you were there. I was there. And as I was leaving, I saw a couple of my friends standing outside. And so I said goodnight to them. I walked back to my car, which was like 30 seconds away. And then I turned on my car. And the song on the radio was Firework by Katy Perry.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Big surprise. The radio was Firework by Katy Perry. Big surprise. And I thought it would be so funny if I cranked it and then rolled down my window and drove past my friends. You're not wrong so far. Yeah, yeah. So I did that, except that right as I was doing it, the light turned red, I was like stuck in traffic
Starting point is 00:39:25 right in front. And I think my friends had literally just left in a cab. Yeah. Because it had taken me a minute to get to my car and turn it on and drive. So I think I was just being a jerk in front of
Starting point is 00:39:41 a bunch of strangers. Sat parked there listening to firework. Yeah. I was fire jerk. Pretty good. So that's all that's been going on with me. Well, yeah. Oh, but that's big, though.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah, it was a big... It was big finding out that you're a fire jerk. Yeah. It was a bucket list moment. Al Graham. Yeah. What's going on with you? I saw a violent fight on the train.
Starting point is 00:40:12 And, oh, right? There's no better way to travel in Vancouver. Tweeted about it, and now I'm going to talk about it in full. This is, okay. There was, I was listening to music so I didn't hear the preamble to the fight
Starting point is 00:40:29 but one of the things was there were two really shitty dudes that got on the train the second they got on the train I was like something's gonna happen right like either somebody's gonna end up with a pasta sauce on them
Starting point is 00:40:44 like something fucking weird is gonna happen going to happen, right? Like either somebody's going to end up with a pasta sauce on them or something fucking weird is going to happen. How were they shitty? They were like LMFL. Oh, man. Like imagine those two guys got on the train. You're like, little boy. Count down to the horribleness.
Starting point is 00:41:01 So they got on and then there's like these little plastic slots where they put I don't know buzzer. The buzzer.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Exactly. The newsletter for the for the train. For the poor. Yeah. The poor the poor tribune.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Have you thought what about these new yellow cords they got to pull for a stop? An editorial. Thanking the bus driver. It's not from everyone. So, so they broke it.
Starting point is 00:41:49 They broke where the buzzer was going. They threw it down the train and almost hit somebody in the head. And then a group of guys circled around these two guys and started... They didn't start picking a fight with them.
Starting point is 00:42:03 They started dancing. Go shitty guys. Go shitty guys. Go shitty guys. You're the worst now. They started lecturing them, which was weird. I was like, this is not going to end well.
Starting point is 00:42:19 When has a lecture ever resulted in the person being lectured going, good point. You were right. I'm going to mend my ways. So they started lecturing him, and one of the guys said, I'm only on the train because I lost my license because I was drunk. And then one of the guys was like, and you're proud of that?
Starting point is 00:42:41 You're proud of that? And the guy was like, I guess, I guess, some kind of. That's why he said it. And I was just like, this is going to turn from, like, and then there was a guy in a very beautiful suit, like he had just gotten off of work at, like, a law firm, right? And had an
Starting point is 00:42:59 affair. I better get on the train so the smell of my mistress will get off me. Yeah. The smell of... Maybe the grossness of the train will overwhelm her bijon. So he started yelling at the guys,
Starting point is 00:43:26 and we came up to a stop, and he said, you're getting off at this stop. And the guys were like, nah-ah, because they were not ever agreeable. Like, okay. Okay, lecturers.
Starting point is 00:43:37 So he's like, you're going to get off at this stop. And the guy's like, nope. And then he picked up one of them and threw him out like he was a fucking, like just a garbage bag. Yonk. And he he picked up one of them and threw him out like he was a fucking, like, just a garbage bag. Yonk!
Starting point is 00:43:47 And he just tumbled out on the platform and I never saw him again. Like, he just vanished, that guy. And then his friend decided to fight and stay and he started, they started punching each other in the face and then the guy pushed the guy out of the train.
Starting point is 00:44:07 But you know there's like a safety mechanism where the doors will almost close. But if you put something in between them, the doors open back up again. So it was the reverse of the safety thing. Like we were like, ah! And then he put his foot in and then it opened up. And we were like, oh no. And then it was just more punching in the face. Like it was that close.
Starting point is 00:44:26 He was almost off. And then these guys just beat the shit out of each other and then the one guy tumbled out and the doors closed and meanwhile everybody was standing around just frozen like statues. It was just like they were fighting
Starting point is 00:44:43 in a hedge maze of people like hedges shaped like statues. It was just like they were fighting in a hedge maze of people like hedges shaped like people. Nobody did anything. And then I went up and pressed there's like a button thing in a box that's like the rescue alarm. I went up and pressed
Starting point is 00:45:00 that and then the person came on and said what is your emergency? And I was like, there's two dudes just got in a fight on the train. And then everybody looked at me like, good work. But then
Starting point is 00:45:23 the box just said What is your emergency? I was like There's two guys Fighting on the train What is your Please hold in the button To talk about your emergency
Starting point is 00:45:38 Which it doesn't say that anywhere Right So then I held in the button There's two guys Fighting on the train And they said Okay thanks Are they on the train? And they said, okay, thanks. Are they on the train?
Starting point is 00:45:46 I was like, no. Like, I wanted to explain it to her. And she goes, thank you. And I was like, oh, what? I was going to tell you all the things. And then when we got to the next station, the guy in the suit just walked off the train. So it was like there was blood everywhere and stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:02 But it was like there was nobody around to say what happened, except there was this giant construction dude who all of a sudden came in and he was narrating the whole thing. I was like, where were you fucking a minute ago? Giganto. Oh, what you want to do is look at the security team because they were fucking around at the station
Starting point is 00:46:22 before they got on. I was like, you fucking asshole. At the last second, he's like, well, I guess if I gotta be involved. Now that everything's over. And in case you're wondering who won the fight, it was me because I got to
Starting point is 00:46:38 press that button. Thanks, everybody. Thanks, everybody. Well, we brought you on to get to know you. Yeah. So tell us what's going on with Alicia Tobin. But what I was going to say... Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:46:57 No, go ahead. Forget it. Like, every time, it's like this. How's things? Great. I got married today. Oh, hey! Congratulations! I had a baby around noon. Everything's
Starting point is 00:47:15 working out great. I'm not sweating anything anymore. What are the big things to get applause? It's marriage and babies. Also drugs. Who likes doing drugs? So what's going on? I don't know. I was thinking that maybe I moved to a dicier neighborhood than I anticipated.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Why? Well, like about a year ago, I was walking past a massage parlor, and myself and another woman saved a woman's life before she was beaten within an inch of her life by some guy. And now, out front of my house every night, this guy with a pageboy haircut, he's in his 50s, is dealing drugs. Really? Mostly absinthe, I assume.
Starting point is 00:48:01 And then a little while ago, there's this naked man in my bushes masturbating. All right, let's talk about that. Why does everything cool happen to you guys? So there was a naked guy. Tell us about him. Yeah. Describe him. So I'm a light sleeper.
Starting point is 00:48:19 And I heard somebody shouting. First, I heard people talking in a fun way. I was like, they're having a good time. And then I heard, get away from me. And so I got up because I have that instinct where I'm like, somebody needs help, I'm going to help them. Once you get there, things get really crazy. I have the instinct and then no skills.
Starting point is 00:48:41 And so I go out to, I live in this house, and I have a big window, very rich. And there's this pale man, no clothes, no socks, I don't know how, in my hedges, touching his wiener with a twig. No! No! Yes! Really? Yes! And I'm like, fuck. With a twig. No! No! Really? Yes! And I'm like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:49:12 You maybe heard about those pussy willows. They're so funny. And so I call the police, and they're like, what does he look like? And I'm like, it's not great. I'm calling the police all the time, so I'm like, I wouldn't be interested in him if he were a normal person. He's a four.
Starting point is 00:49:36 He needs to go to the gym a bit. He could get a tan. Ah, in the hedges. I mean, that's not, there's nothing fun about that. Even with clothes on. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. And like the women were like,
Starting point is 00:49:48 get away. And of course, like he didn't chase him or anything. So I just stayed inside in my pajamas watching him. Do you think you would have given chase? Had you chased him
Starting point is 00:49:58 or would he have been like, that man hasn't run in a decade. That man can't give chase. He looks terrible. Sounds like my kind of guy. So yeah, and the next morning I was just like, ugh. And then I was walking on my front yard and the twig was still there.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Ha ha! Gross! I was like, at least you could do is take your twig. Yeah. Your pleasure twig. Can't take it anymore. Like you're calling out to him to be decent. Come on, man!
Starting point is 00:50:28 Come on! Take the twig. I get that you're masturbating hedges. I get it. Just take your twig with you, man. We all masturbate in the hedge sometimes. We all have the decency. Take nothing but twigs.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Leave nothing but twigs, leave nothing but, etc. So that's kind of it. Well, that's all it needs to be. Now, Alicia, the real reason we brought you up here was for a segment that we call and get ready, sound guy, a segment that we call
Starting point is 00:51:04 Overheard. call and get ready sound guy a segment that we call overheard overheard there we go guys prepare thyself um now we like to always start with the guests if you would sure i'd love to lead the. Lead the charge. That would be wonderful. That's great. Okay. Alright. Here we go. Here we go. In the hedge. Okay. One time. So. With the twig. With the twig. So I was masturbating
Starting point is 00:51:37 in the hedge. I found this lovely twig. So soft. Oh. I was at the park with my niece. My niece is seven, and she is amazing. And I love her. And I took her on our first adventure walk together.
Starting point is 00:51:56 We got lost. It was terrifying. I have no sense of direction and a terrible memory. Turns out she inherited all of my terrible qualities. Incredibly pale. Doesn't like group sports. And she thinks all animals are her friends, which will inevitably result in some sort of injury soon. So we're at the park, and there's a bunch of other people there with children. And I always feel kind of weird when I have a child with me
Starting point is 00:52:20 because it's not ever my child, so I'm not sure what to do with them. And she's just playing on the monkey bars, and I see this girl, and I can't tell how old she is. And I can tell that she's at least 13, and the way she's talking, I'm like, she's 35. Oh, my God. Like, the words, the screaming, I couldn't handle it. And she made me nervous because she was definitely fully developed,
Starting point is 00:52:43 but small like a child, like some sort of secretive, nim version of adults. And she had sharp, weird features like a rat. Sharp teeth. Or a fidu hua. She was small and compact, and she could definitely farm. And there was shouting from these two girls, and I was like, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:53:04 And then I realized there was two of them, so so I started to panic because I'm terrified of twins. And I just see my lovely niece on the monkey bar, super pale and trying to stay on. And I overhear one of the sisters say, hey, look, I'm a stripper. And I turn around. This is at a park filled with children. And she's on a pole that is a swing set. And she's pole dancing with the thing. And I'm like, okay, Genevieve, let's go.
Starting point is 00:53:31 What's up? Run up. And then this little guy beside her says, my sister's a stripper. And he's like, nah, she's more of a hooker. Whoa. And that's my overheard. Yeah! In this economy, it's important to differentiate.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Dave? My overheard is an overread. Ooh! Books! Tell me! On the internet. Now, my last name is Shumka. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:54:11 And it is Ukrainian. Ukrainian. And... Yep. Painted eggs. I'm glad you have some kind of allegiance. Peronis. Perahus.
Starting point is 00:54:24 But I in Edmonton there's a there's a Shumka Dancers. Okay, thanks. Yep, absolutely. Whenever it hits you. Don't hold back. In Edmonton there is a dance
Starting point is 00:54:41 company called the Shumka Dancers and we're no relation, because my name in Ukrainian means whirlwind. Yeah, right? But I've noticed over the past few months that... Because sometimes I have a Twitter window open that just has my name in it,
Starting point is 00:55:05 and it's uncommon enough that anytime anyone says Shumka on Twitter, I need to know about it. And quite often it's people talking about, like the dance company does a dance camp every summer. It's like, ooh, I spent the summer at Shumka. And that's a lot of fun. But recently people have been talking about my name in the context of food.
Starting point is 00:55:31 And I sort of discovered that there is a restaurant in a food court in Edmonton called Shumka Ukrainian Food. And so I looked it up online and my overread is apparently this is their slogan. Just when you thought you'd tried everything at the food court, then came Shumka.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Wow. What a down sell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I tried everything. Try Orange Julius before us, and then when you've done it all, go sow your wild oats at New York Fries. I'll be waiting for you.
Starting point is 00:56:18 There's no choices left. Chumko beef. Yeah. Wow. What do you think? Perogies? It's perogies. It's beef. Yeah. Wow. What do you think? Perogies? It's perogies. It's sausage.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Fun. Those are two fun items to eat. Right? Because one is like a dumpling, but not Asian. You're the nutritionist. Yeah. How many perogies should you have? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:40 What's 24? Five. Absolutely five. Five a day. Five a day. Five a day? All right. So I'm on pace. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Pierogies are the most important meal of the day. Guys. Yes? So you had an overheard. You had an overread. I have an overseen. Oh. There we go.
Starting point is 00:57:10 That's a showbiz staple right there. For the home listener, a real spit tank. A real spit tank. I mean fake, but real water. No, but real though. Yeah, real good mist. Yeah. You had like a Stephanie Tanner mist, I would say.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Thank you. She was good at a spit take at a young age. And look at her now. Math. My overseen is one of... I had to go home and look up on the internet to make a context out of it.
Starting point is 00:57:49 So, okay, there's a type of Nike shoe that are called ones for short. But you know what I'm talking about? No. Okay. There's something else. Are they Air Force ones? Yeah, Air Force ones. Are they Air Force Ones?
Starting point is 00:58:06 Yeah, Air Force Ones. But they just shortened them to Ones. Nice. Right? Everybody just calls them Ones. And there was a kid, say like a kid's about 11 years old and he's wearing this black shirt. And what it was supposed to say was, bury me in my Ones. Right? Right.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Like, if I'm going to die 80 years from now bury me in my gross shoes from when I was a kid But it's like if I'm going to die just bury me in my shoes because I'm not going to play basketball anymore after I'm dead So don't leave them around
Starting point is 00:58:41 because I'm not going to ghost play basketball, bury me in them I don't know what it means But'm not going to ghost play basketball. Bury me in them. Or whatever. I don't know what it means. But he is going to ghost play basketball. That's why he wants to be buried. That's how your ghost is. The sole of the shoes will go up.
Starting point is 00:58:54 The sole of the shoes. Pretty good. So it said, it's supposed to say bury my one, but I had no idea because it was folded over just so. Like I had to go home and look it up on the internet. I thought it said bury me in my onesie.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Because I'm going to haunt you like a creepy baby. Like stretch it out if you have to. That's what I want to be buried in. It's not even an overseen. It was an over... A misunderstanding. It was fun, though. It was fun! Guys,
Starting point is 00:59:35 this is where we turn the show right over to you. Because we would always usually have phoned in or written in overheards, overseens, et cetera, but we just go to the general audience. So if you are so bold, we have a microphone sitting right there.

There was a drunk gentleman and an aboriginal artisan with his velour board of his wares who got off right when I got on, and I heard the drunk man talking and saying,
Starting point is 01:00:36 oh, man, I really wanted a dream catcher from that guy, but they were like $60, and others don't have that many dreams. Yes! Katie, everybody! They were like $60. And others don't have that many dreams. Yes! Katie, everybody! So good! Seriously, if you do $20 per dream,

Starting point is 01:01:34 Sesh rogan. So they started talking about what kind of tattoos they wanted to get. one of them said, I have this belief that every tattoo you get should mean something to you. Except for one that you get that's really fucking cool. And they started talking about their tattoo ideas.
Starting point is 01:01:58 One guy wanted to get a yin-yang symbol with Chinese symbols underneath that said, No Limits. And my favorite thing in the discussion was one of them said, Hold on a second. What did he say? Oh, no. Yep.

Starting point is 01:08:30 with you? What's new with Kevin Lee? I don't know. You guys brought me on in the most uninteresting period in my life. Nothing's happening. No, I went to San Francisco not that long ago. That's not uninteresting. Yeah, it was very fun. Is that the store in the mall
Starting point is 01:08:45 that has all the racy stuff? Yeah, I bought a Freddy Krueger glove that's made out of plastic and some itching powder. I put it inside the glove, put it on, and was like, No! Got me again, Freddy.
Starting point is 01:09:00 They used to sell lighters that you would rub and then the lady on it would become naked. Yeah. And I say used to because Iers that you would rub and then the lady on it would become naked. Yeah. And I say used to because I assume they still do. And the guy in the bush with the twig had one of those. Visual jokes.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Yeah. No, not the... I went to the city based on the store. The city based on the store. Yeah. Welcome to the dildo building. Here's the fart t-shirt warehouse. Here's the Golden Gate
Starting point is 01:09:32 one tequila, two tequila, three tequila floor tank top. I don't know. Why as a kid I love that store. That was definitely a litmus shitty. I love that store. That was definitely like a litmus test. Like, I know I was a stupid kid because I love that store. Why? Terrible.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Oh, Lordy. So how was it? How was San Francisco? It was great. Yeah. Went there. I went to a music festival called Outside Lands, and I got to see bands and stuff like that there. Outside, I assume.
Starting point is 01:10:06 Outside, yes. Yeah, it was good. What was your favorite band you saw? Oddly, Foo Fighters were really good. How does that feel to say that? Probably weird. It's like I'm just shaking hands with my 16-year-old self. We did it.
Starting point is 01:10:23 You got it, kid. We were right. Cool forever. You got it, kid. We were right. Cool forever. You got it, buddy. Yeah, so that was good. Foo Fighters were a lot of fun. I got way too drunk. And then we went to see,
Starting point is 01:10:36 so I went there with my girlfriend Marie, and then we went into the crowd to get close, because Neil Young was after Foo Fighters. So we're like, gotta see Neil Young before he dies. I saw that fortune teller and she's like, Neil Young's gonna die.
Starting point is 01:10:52 She turned over a folk rock death card. That's the only thing the fortune teller tells you. You're like, what about me? That's all I got. That's all you've got going on. I got that Neil Young's gonna die. A lot of sleeping and overeating. So we got in the crowd there and we watched Foo Fighters and they were surprisingly really great
Starting point is 01:11:11 and then was really drunk at that point and then there was a guy behind me like Marie and I were rocking out and I turned around and there was this old guy basically dressed like Graham somebody had like a bandana. And he looked over at me.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I was dancing with Marie. We were singing along. And then I turned around to him and he's like... Gives me a little nod of approval. Yeah, you're the nod. Thank you. And then he offered me weed. Which I smoked.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Which was the worst idea. Because then the earth began to move. It was bad. And so basically during Neil Young, Marie was holding my hand on the side, way off to the side, lying down. I'm like, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 01:12:00 We're missing Neil Young. I'm sorry. She's like, it's fine. And he's like, meh. And then he died. Then a bird flew directly into his head. That doesn't, nope, nothing. Oh, but that would be the greatest death. Amazing, a bald eagle.
Starting point is 01:12:19 And there would be like one person that had gambled that in Vegas, like, ah! One guy in the crowd? Yes! Unbelievable. I'm going to retire. I'll make a donation. Bird preserves. I don't know. What's up with you?
Starting point is 01:12:42 Nothing that great. You guys already did that. Were you there? Did you hear me blasting Katy Perry? No, I don't know. What's up with you? Nothing that great. You guys already did that. Were you there? Did you hear me blasting Katy Perry last night? No, I missed that. Okay, well then, yeah. But if you were high, it would have been great. It would have been amazing. Do you think because you were so drunk, that's why you love the Foo Fighters so much?
Starting point is 01:13:01 Maybe, yeah. I don't think the Foo Fighters are bad. No, no, no. Right? All their fans are the worst people on Earth, but the band itself just has become a... Right? They're fine.
Starting point is 01:13:14 I think they're just like, hey, this is a rock band. This is the name of a rock band that I know. Let's put them on a poster. Yeah, but that's fine. That's... Right? Isn't it?
Starting point is 01:13:24 I don't know. Sure. You guys seem anti that notion. Yeah, but that's fine. That's, right? Isn't it? I don't know. Sure. You guys seem anti that notion. Yeah, I guess. People don't want to cut one way or the other on Foo Fighters.
Starting point is 01:13:31 You're all keeping your hands folded. I don't care one way or the other. But they're okay. Yeah, they're fine. I've never heard anything that they think.
Starting point is 01:13:38 Whatever. It's totally fine. Yeah. Wow. Right? All right. They've got the drummer from Nirvana
