Growing up, I don't know if I'm the only one, but my friend's brother used to say, like, oh, I just took a growler. Right? Does anybody else have that experience?
Starting point is 00:02:39 Yeah, the growler now means something delicious. It's weird. Like, there must have been other things like that. Like, I'm sure a brownie was something horrible at some point. Yeah. Yeah. The girl guy.

Starting point is 00:03:30 can we get one of those? Did they only make one of those? Yeah, and they had to kill Bob Barker to get it out of his hands. For people who don't remember, Bob Barker had a microphone that was basically like, if they took whatever the opposite of a shrinking machine is
Starting point is 00:03:45 and put a Q-tip in, and enlarged it into a microphone that bent. Yeah. Well, Drew Carey uses the same. Yeah, he uses the same mic. Like I said, they had to kill for a part of it. Do you think Bob Barker's still alive? Have you heard anything?

Starting point is 00:08:23 I don't know. Just leave it. David. Two of my favorite people in the world. John. How's everything going? Everything's going very well. Thank you for asking.
Starting point is 00:08:37 How are you doing? I'm doing all right. Great. David, how are you feeling? You're a dad. I'm a dad now. Dave's a dad, everybody. Yay!
Starting point is 00:08:44 Thank you. Daddy David. We did it. I'm a dad now. Dave's a dad, everybody. Yay! Thank you. Daddy David. We did it. We did it. Filled out some forms. Made it happen. Well done, guys. Nominated him.
Starting point is 00:08:55 The podcast has a child. Yep. Yep. She couldn't be here tonight. She's guarding your house, all alone style. Well, she's at a pageant. You gotta get them in early.
Starting point is 00:09:08 She's not dead, is she? No. She's fine. Oh, she's fine. Okay, yeah. Because we were talking a lot
Starting point is 00:09:12 about people and they were saying they were dead today. So I'm just making sure. Go ahead. Oh, I really
Starting point is 00:09:16 put a funk in the audience. Yeah, they're there. I should have left them alone. I knew as soon as I said it, it was the wrong
Starting point is 00:09:22 thing to say. I can't get them back now. Yeah. Dave's daughter is alive and well. As far as we know, you have not checked your phone in a little bit. Let's just assume she's fine.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Otherwise, it's going to be tough to... Here's a good question. If you found out something was wrong, would you finish the podcast or would you take off right away? I'd probably take off. You would probably? Probably. So there's a chance you'd stay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:46 I mean, it depends what I'm finding out. Yeah. Is it like, oh. Let's workshop a scenario here. Okay, like, oh. Graham's babysitting. He gets on the phone. He's got bad news.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Why am I doing the podcast without Graham? Yeah. I call you. I say, the baby doesn't like yams. Okay. I just realized I don't know anything. Yeah. I would say that she's on a breast milk diet
Starting point is 00:10:06 So stay the course You'd stay If she didn't like yams I'd be like, Graham, you need to be here How old is your daughter? She is 15 days old So what if she said I don't like yams
Starting point is 00:10:24 Then you'd want to know that But would you be happy or worried? She is 15 days old. 15 days old. So what if she said, I don't like yams at 15 days old? Then you'd want to know that. Yeah, I don't know if I'd stop the bike. But would you be happy or worried? Would it still be Graham telling me? No, your daughter says to you, dad. She calls me? Dad.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Am I here in this scenario? Waits for you to turn around, continually saying, dad, dad. I wouldn't turn around. I don't like yams. I wouldn't turn around. And then gave you the finger, the middle't like yams. I wouldn't turn around. And then gave you the middle finger. I've never been called Dad, so I wouldn't have turned around.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Ah, that's right. I'm not used to you. Good point. And also, I couldn't operate on her. Yeah, because you're a woman! It's kind of like doing a podcast with Agatha Christie. The mystery that she's solving.
Starting point is 00:11:05 While she's solving it? Ah, but I wouldn't, would I? Because I've never been called dad, have I, John? Mystery solved. You're good, Dave. I'll give you that. You're a very smart person. I'm a real Hercule Poirot. I could have said Poirot.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Yeah. That was the craziest voice string of nonsense that just came out of my mouth. No one else can hear it. We shouldn't react to it. Yeah, let's move on. I can't not! It feels like it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I know, but he's too Irish to function.
Starting point is 00:11:41 But we don't know that. We know nothing about this gentleman we heard off to the side saying something. We know nothing about his character we heard off to the side saying something. We know nothing about his character. You know what Agatha Christie would do? Yes, get to the bottom of it. Absolutely. Shall we do Agatha Christie investigates the audience of the podcast?
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yeah, probably. All right. There's been a murder. Give me a theme song. Everyone's a suspect. Was that you? Make sure you got enough Yeah
Starting point is 00:12:06 Yeah, that was you Mystery solved! I don't want to go over there I was hoping that wasn't him But it was him They do not have Bob Barker in his country He didn't get any of those Or Crest, really.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Yeah. Do they have white strips in America? Yes, they do. What's going on with you? Do you want me to get you some? Are you asking me what generally is going on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not a lot. What's going on with you?
Starting point is 00:12:43 I don't like it. This is not how you... On your Price is Right podcast, you let everybody in. You can't get a word in edgewise. They're hopped up and ready to talk about that day's episode. You're too relaxed. I'm going to tell you something, Graham.
Starting point is 00:12:58 I think that the question, it's got too wide a berth. Let's narrow it down. All right, what happened today? Well, I'll tell you what happened today. There was a little bit of an issue this morning. I was going to bring something to the podcast today
Starting point is 00:13:16 that the two of you would have loved. I briefly told you backstage what it was. And I think the audience would have loved it as well. And I could not fucking find it today and it was very I know I had put it aside it got misplaced I'm not going to blame anyone but it got misplaced not by me
Starting point is 00:13:32 maybe no one knows but anyway I found I was back home in Ottawa home of the Senators and and birthplace okay so I was birthplace... Birthplace of who?
Starting point is 00:13:49 Max Keeping. He was the anchor of CGOH News. And you know he was born there. Born and raised in Ottawa. I don't. But look at... Let's move forward with what I was talking about.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I had gone home to Ottawa. Do you know who was born in Ottawa? Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah. Alanis. I don't know who that is. Oh, she's a singer. Oh, Morissette.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah. Yeah. I don't... If you just give me the one name, there's not enough to go on. She was Alanis, just Alanis for a time. She was. And do you remember the hits she had? Okay, go sing one.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Always too hot, never too cold. You take your best shot, too hot to hold. Yeah. That was about going down on Dave Cooley. She's written... A lot of people know that. Always too hot, never too cold. Cut it out.
Starting point is 00:14:43 She would do it live. She's done like every album has been about going down on Dave Koo. She would do it live. Go ahead, David. It's fun, the audience response to it. So I go back to Ottawa, home of Alanis Morissette, and I would birthplace of. Does she not live there anymore? Gotta get my facts straight with these two assholes.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Does she not live there anymore? Gotta get my facts straight with these two assholes. So I go back to Ottawa, and I'm searching through this box, and I find a whole bunch of my old books, and then I realize, holy shit, there's one book I distinctly remember, and it's not there. And so I go up to my bedroom,
Starting point is 00:15:20 and I open a drawer, and I find it, and I'm relieved that it didn't get out into the world. It's a book of poetry that I wrote when I was 19-ish. So probably going from like 17 and a half to 19 and a half. And it's a book of poetry and journal entries. And it is the most embarrassing thing. Like no one can find this. But then I thought to myself,
Starting point is 00:15:46 oh, okay, it would be great if I brought it and I would read, I wouldn't let you touch the book because I'd never see it again, but I would flip through the pages reading the titles of each poem and let you pick one. And that would have been fun.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I just realized I'm describing what we would have done rather than just moving on. And just to give you an idea of what we're dealing with here, the title of one of the poems is, I Wish I Was a Meadow. I'm not fucking joking. I know.
Starting point is 00:16:17 I fancied myself a little Gord Downie. I thought, oh, I'll be a lyricist. I need to get in front of a band and express myself. And I thought, I know. I wish I was a meadow. And you know what the first line of I wish I was a meadow was? Please tell us.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I wish I was a cobbler. Immediately taking a detour from the title of the poem. Well, you've got to build to meadow. Yeah, that's true. You've got to start with the shoe. Yeah. Then you build the shoe trees,
Starting point is 00:16:48 and then the shoe water. Did you have a lot of like... Don't you dare, audience. That was great. Shoe trees. Don't you think that... Oh, no, never mind. I was going to say...
Starting point is 00:17:01 No, go ahead. You've got issues. Okay, go ahead, David. I know, forgot it. I shouldn't have said it, and I did it. Growing up, did you have a lot of experience with Meadows? Yeah, why did you wish you were a Meadow? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:21 That's why the book's not here. If the book was here, I would let you tear into me. I'll tell you what, I'll be back in Vancouver in November. If you want, I would gladly bring the book by. And we'll read it. Not to all of you. Actually, let's all meet back here in November.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Let's check in with each other. See if our dreams came true. Anyone who shows... Graham just chugged his growler. The whole thing. How big is a growler? Oh, you know. It's a good
Starting point is 00:17:54 elephant stomach. Like a baby elephant stomach with a beer. You should put it in a glass. Get a baby elephant drunk is what I thought. Anyways, go on. I was going to say why don't you put some in a glass. What? Get a baby elephant drunk is what I thought. Anyways, go on. That would be great, wouldn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:06 I should. I was going to say, why don't you put some in a glass because it's so heavy to even lift up. Yeah, but get it to your mouth and it's awkward because your hand starts trembling. Yeah, yeah. I got tiny little girl wrists. No offense, girls, but your wrists are very tiny. Yeah, work on that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Yeah. We're equal in every other way. Yeah. But wrists. Yeah. You know what I every other way. But wrists? You know what I mean? You have tiny wrists. You know what I mean. They're like 77 cents on a man's wrist. That's where all the work money comes from.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Did you crush your beer can before you died? I got angry when I made a comment and I was embarrassed so I crushed it. But you're not dead. I was mid, I when I made a comment, and I was embarrassed, so I crushed it. I was mid, I wish it was a meadow, and I crushed that. I wish it was a meadow.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Don't worry about it. No, I'm not worried at all. I wish I was a cobbler. Anything else going on? You didn't find your poetry book. Look it. I didn't find the fucking book. I got on the plane. I got here. I had a nap while watching, coincidentally, Elephants. I didn't find the fucking book. I got on the plane. I got here. I had a nap while watching,
Starting point is 00:19:06 coincidentally, elephants. That's probably why I said that. Elephants get tackled by tigers on TV. Oh. Lions, pardon me. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Pardon me, ladies. And then... Because... We know tigers are the female lion, right? And... And... I used to think We know tigers are the female lion Right And And I used to think cats were female dogs
Starting point is 00:19:30 When I was a kid That's what I used to think I think cats were the females Yeah Yeah Then I got older I'm like none of these dogs Are fucking the cats
Starting point is 00:19:36 But anyway so I And then I had a nap in the hotel room And I came here to see your faces I was so excited And filled with adrenaline About seeing you two I had to have a nap I crashed Yeah I understand And I had to have a nap.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I crashed. I had some Xanax. Both reasons I had a nap. It's great to have you here. It's great to be here. Have you been traveling around? I have been traveling around. The States or Canada or what? A little bit of both.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Tell us about it. I could. Or? You could move on about it. Well, okay. Well, I could. Or? You could move on to something else other than traveling. Okay, all right. But I went to Toronto. Yeah. You ever been there?
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah. Yeah. So I went there. Wait, wait. Tell me more. And then I went to a place called Montreal. Montreal, birthplace of the FLQ. The Front Libération Quebec.
Starting point is 00:20:25 I believe the old joke is if you want Canada to buy a free flight to Cuba, all you have to do is kidnap a cabinet minister. I think that's the old joke. Okay. Now let's move on. Still good, that joke. It's pretty hot.
Starting point is 00:20:39 I just got a little younger. Turn my hat to the side. I realize that's a bit of a sad joke because one of them did die. So let's move on. I was in Montreal, home of our really our most famous terrorist organization. And I think that's nice
Starting point is 00:20:57 because there's a lot of other countries that have terrorist groups. They have their own terrorist groups. And I start to think, well hold on a fucking second. What about us? And then I think, oh yeah, we did have a very cool terrorist organization here. La Front Libération Quebec.
Starting point is 00:21:11 And in this month, October, it's their month. The October Crisis! That's correct! Where Trudeau had to implement the War Measures Act! Yeah, and you know what he said? He said, let them eat cake. And then didn't he call somebody a fucker? You're a bleeding heart fucker.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Eat some cake. Well, just watch me. Eat a dick. Well, just watch me. You're a historian. Yeah. I did some high school social studies. So, not to brag.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Who was our swearing-est prime minister? Oh, boy. Well. Sir Andrew Dice Clay. He's on our money. Let's try and get Andrew Dice Clay on one of our bills.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Do you think we could? I think it's impossible One of the Canadian bills? Yeah I think it's impossible Yeah, no, if you hold a referendum People will vote Sure
Starting point is 00:22:12 And they'll panic When they're in that voting booth They'll be like I was going to say no But now that I'm here I want to see what the bill looks like Yeah It would be the best bill we've ever had
Starting point is 00:22:23 Yeah And they're only putting him on the 10,000. It would make a lot of people upset, but it would be a very interesting bill. Now, I want the two of you to talk about the design. Okay. Side one. It's got three sides.
Starting point is 00:22:38 It's the first triangle bill. I like it. Very interesting. A triangle bill. Side one. Andrew Dice Clay in a canoe. Andrew Dice Clay enters. If you turn it around, it's like a flip book. He walks in to the bill, does that thing with the cigarette. That's what they should do.
Starting point is 00:22:58 That's what they should do with a $10,000 bill. It should be 10,000 pages of $1 bills, and you just flip through it, It should be 10,000 pages of $1 bills, and you just flip through it, and it tells the story of Andrew Dice Clay bringing fish to Canada or whatever the history is. So these guys. These fucking guys that live to the north of us. Hickory dickory dock, etc. Canada decided to have a fucking rough... Oh! Now, I knew it was good to throw that at you guys
Starting point is 00:23:36 because you really came up with something there. Yeah, really. I'm really proud of you, too. Thanks. A lot of people are saying you're losing your stuff. I disagree. I think you still got it. I think you still have it, both of you.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Dave, you're now a stuff. I disagree. I think you still got it. I think you still have it, both of you. Dave, you're now a dad. Do you start to think, oh my god, I'm completing. I'm putting another notch on the belt of life. It is slowly fading away. I'm realizing that... Put another notch on the belt of life? Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Remember, I'm a poet. Yeah. Life is fleeting. What have I done? What's important? Are you starting to look back on life more than you're looking forward, David? Are you reaching back for past glory, realizing that the end is near?
Starting point is 00:24:22 Just because I'm having a child doesn't mean I'm dying faster than everyone else. Yeah, I know. Cool. Good answer. I just asked you a question. My child was born on September 17th. Yeah, we know. We all did the math. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Yeah. And I googled. If you google most popular birthday, it's the day before. September 16th is the most popular birthday. And I was like, oh, September 17th is probably a very popular birthday. September 17th to a girl I know. It's Mother's Day. Go on, Dave.
Starting point is 00:25:05 You started the song. Was it me or him, Grant? Be honest. He said September 17th. Yeah, and I don't know what you did there. Yes, you do. But it was great. I wouldn't do it any other way.
Starting point is 00:25:17 If you had to guess, what did I do? You sang a song. Yes. But you're a poet, so I don't know if you just made it up. No, Dave knows what I did. What would your band be called if you were the lead singer of it? Well, John Doerr and the Somethings. I mean, I haven't made it up yet.

Starting point is 00:27:40 Share your birthday John I wouldn't know I'm not some creep Who goes online Trying to find Who's been born On a John? I wouldn't know. I'm not some creep who goes online trying to find who's been born on a certain day. I don't know, honestly. I have no idea. Nobody's ever told you like, hey, you and Brad Garrett.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Actually, yeah, Brad Garrett. Oh, there you go. You're right. I have no idea who shares my birthday. Who shares your birthday, David? Oh, um... Dalai Lama, I bet. Woody Allen. Woody Allen shares your birthday? Who shares your birthday, David? Oh. Dalai Lama. Yeah. Woody Allen. Woody Allen shares your birthday?
Starting point is 00:28:07 Yep. Really? Bette Midler. Oh. Anyone who was in scenes from them all. That's weird. Yeah. That's weird. That can't be true.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Is that true? What can't be true? That Woody Allen and Bette Midler are born on the same day? How could it not be true? That's entirely possible. No, because it's the whole... There are two humans that were born on... There's only 365 days.
Starting point is 00:28:29 They have to be born on one day, Graham. I know, but Bette Midler and Woody Allen... But wait a minute. But wait. Two names of people that were born... Oh, no. It's entirely possible. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:43 I'm going to look it up. You have no faith in your friend David here. I do. But then, you know, he said that there was nobody good on September 17th, and then he said, oh, there we go. So, yeah. What's going on with you, Dave? I just talked about it.
Starting point is 00:29:01 All right. What's going on with you, my friend? I missed you guys up in Lake Arrowhead What When you guys went up to Lake Arrowhead I wasn't there and I wanted to be Where were you I was away I had to go on tour
Starting point is 00:29:15 What's traveling like Let me tell you I'm glad you brought it up It's great You know what I love about being on an airplane I'm not even joking For instance I flew from Los Angeles To Vancouver today It's great. You know what I love about being on an airplane? I'm not even joking. For instance, I flew from Los Angeles to Vancouver today. An airplane is able to
Starting point is 00:29:33 compress the amount of time it takes you to normally get to... If I were to drive, fucking way longer. Way longer. The airplane... You travel great distances in a relatively short amount of time. So that's my number one favorite thing about traveling by plane. Saw a kid sitting...
Starting point is 00:29:58 Or there's a kid sitting behind... I didn't see a kid sitting behind me, that's for sure. But I heard a kid behind me on the airplane singing, Baa, b ba ba black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. And he sang that about ten times in a row.
Starting point is 00:30:14 And the mother asked him to be quiet. And I thought that was rude. I thought the mother should have explained why the child should be quiet. And Dave, you're a dad now. You should listen up. Okay. If I were to turn around, I would have said,
Starting point is 00:30:31 excuse me, don't talk to your child that way. I'll handle it. And then I probably would have said, the first thing I would have said is, don't call him Baba, number one. Wait, in that thing, is somebody asking a sheep if he has any wool? Baba black sheep? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Have you any wool? Why does he have bags of wool? Three of them. Well, he does. Yeah, I know, but he's a sheep, though. Wouldn't he just have it on him? Like, yeah, not. Why is he carrying around other people's? Well, you know, like when's a sheep, though. Wouldn't he just have it on him? Yeah, not... Why is he carrying around other people's...
Starting point is 00:31:07 It's his wool, I'm assuming. Now, there's a lot of holds in this story, Grant. You can't pick this one apart. Hair grows and people trim it. Oh, no, you don't. Now, look, I want to tell you... Grant has a lot of hair for the listeners. They know. They've seen your face.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Yeah. But now, just because he makes the noise bah doesn't mean you should be calling him bah. I think that's a liberty the child is taking. Granted, because your grandpa coughs, you don't call him bah. I do. You don't do that.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Oh, you do do that. Yeah, yeah. You do do. Yeah. Okay. We're a very onomatopoeia family. Now, I'm called Clank Because I drop rat-a-tat-a-tat
Starting point is 00:31:49 When I was a baby Now The child The child is asking the same question Ten times in a row He's already answered I've got three bags full Supply and demand.
Starting point is 00:32:05 There's clear... Dave, take the microphone out of your pocket. That's not fair. The listeners can't... You know what? I'm done with my Baa Baa Black sheep. No! And I had a really funny feeling that the ending
Starting point is 00:32:21 was going to build to a wonderful crescendo and you've ruined it with your attitude. So Graham, what's going on with you? This is the problem. The only question you get on this show is what is going on with you. Yeah. That's it. There's no insight. There's no research done. I sent you my bio.
Starting point is 00:32:39 My publicist was in touch. I know she was. Because she says those guys are weird. And I said, yeah, you got through to them. She was great. Yeah, she is great. The bio is old, though. The one that you send out. I know. I do that
Starting point is 00:32:53 to make sure you read. So you did read it. Good. 19-year-old John Doerr is rocketing up the charts. Rocketing up the poetry charts. Will he be a meadow? Maybe one day. He wishes he was. Tell me more
Starting point is 00:33:13 about this Bob-Odd Black Cheap Child. No, you've ruined that. One of the other poems is called 84 Candles. That was about my grandfather the night he died. Was it his birthday? You wouldn't write a poem. My grandfather, I nearly unleashed on this audience.
Starting point is 00:33:34 And I held myself back. You guys got off easy. No, the night my grandfather died. Did he share a birthday with anybody else? The night my grandfather died, I went to a Tim Hortons, and I opened my poetry book, and I thought, yeah, time to get this down.
Starting point is 00:33:57 And so I wrote a poem about my grandfather's last breath, and we had to go watch my grandfather die, which is weird. We got a phone call. It's hilarious, I know. We got a phone call from the hospital saying, because my grandfather was in the hospital. Come watch it. Come watch this. Essentially, dude, why wouldn't they call after he died?
Starting point is 00:34:13 They're like, we're just letting you know, he's almost gone in case you want to bring the family. So my sister, my mom, my dad, my aunt and uncle were all in the room for two and a half hours staring at a guy in a bed. He's not coherent. He's not going to talk to us.
Starting point is 00:34:29 We're just waiting for him to not exist anymore. And then everything's quiet for 25 minutes and my Uncle Doug turns to me after there's been silence for 25 minutes. My Uncle Doug says, so John, how are the saxophone lessons coming? Yeah. You played saxophone too?
Starting point is 00:34:48 Oh yeah, you find out a lot about me. Alto. So I turned to Doug. Don't digress here. Which one's alto? Which one's alto? There's smaller than a baritone. The Kenny G one? What? What's the Kenny G one? No, that's, what is that one?
Starting point is 00:35:03 Soprano. Soprano saxophone. Yeah, thanks. Anyway, yeah, and then my grandpa died and I wrote a poem. 84 candles. And I'll tell you why 84 candles was significant in the poem
Starting point is 00:35:18 because the last line was your last breath snuffed the flame of your 84 candles because... Fuck you, assholes. Fuck all of you. The second I open up and share a bit...
Starting point is 00:35:31 Unbelievable. He died on his 84th birthday. Right. September 17th. Wow. Oh, my God. Elvira. Elvira.
Starting point is 00:35:47 You know when you're in a coffee shop and you see someone with a laptop? Yeah, that's great. But you know what else I... Okay, go ahead, Dave. Horrible. No, I thought that was the end of the question. Go ahead. And you're like,
Starting point is 00:35:56 oh, you're working on your screenplay? Good for you. But then if you see a 19-year-old in a Tim Hortons writing poetry... You're like, keep going. Yeah, it looks like a suicide note. Now, my grandfather,
Starting point is 00:36:13 I didn't give you the top, I gave you the tail of the bird. The top was not for you. The, but yeah, grandpa died, wrote a poem.
Starting point is 00:36:22 My last grandfather, I had been through three previous Grandparent deaths I was alive to see them all Not actually die But I was alive and aware that they were dead I wasn't watching all of them die
Starting point is 00:36:34 Or else they'd start to suspect something There's something common about all these grandparents Why is this kid always here When his parents' parents are killed Now they weren't killed. They just died. Gotta be clear. There is such a...
Starting point is 00:36:50 Yeah, there is a thing. You know what I mean? Between being dead and being killed. What? It's just such a fine line. Yeah, there is. You know what I mean? Yeah, I do know what you mean, Graham.
Starting point is 00:37:03 What do you mean? Yeah, Grandpa do know what you mean, Grandpa. What do you mean? So, yeah, Grandpa's dead. Grandpa Dorr! Grandpa Dorr, my father's father, grew up on Aylmer Street in Ottawa, near Hopewell Avenue. And Grandpa, odd man, he was a botanist, wrote several books, wrote a botanist, wrote several books.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Wrote a book about grass. Wrote a book about wild rice in Saskatchewan. And my grandfather, when he would drop his cigarette on the linoleum kitchen floor and it would burn into the ground, he would circle it with permanent marker and date it. Is that real? Fact. For real? Yeah, totally real. He also had a post-it note in his kitchen,
Starting point is 00:37:46 and on the post-it note on the wall, it read, don't remove this note, it's covering a hole in the wall. You lift up the note, hole in the wall. As good as his word. And you don't know if it's art
Starting point is 00:37:59 or if he's really lost his mind. It was a bit of both. Wow. And that's why I chose to write about him as a subject. We're getting deep. Oh, Graham, what's going on with you? But there are a lot of themes here.
Starting point is 00:38:14 There's life, there's new life, there's talk about death, there's middle... There's a lot happening here. Yeah. I went to Prince George and
Starting point is 00:38:30 a place called Vanderhoof. Some people know it. Have you ever been to Vanderhoof? No, I don't know Vanderhoof. It's a tiny little town and I was doing a show there and it was a fundraiser show. It's not a major city? Yeah, I guess. Yeah, they have an NFL team. Do you have an NFL team?
Starting point is 00:38:45 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Vanderhoof Vikings. Vanderhoof Vikings, yeah. Weird that we do Vikings in the NFL, but go ahead. Yeah, no, but you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Different unis. One's purple, the other's mauve. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:39:02 In the middle of the show, they did a pie auction. Okay, I thought it was going to be an eating contest. Well, it was the more expensive version of a pie eating contest. They were raising money. They want to put a pool in Vanderhoof.
Starting point is 00:39:21 You know what I mean? Because the kids are so dry. I don't have to interrupt. No, you just answered it Go ahead So one pool Yeah, they're going to put a pool in Is this in British Columbia? Yes
Starting point is 00:39:35 I thought that the pies would go for like You know, 50 bucks Oh, no What's the max you would pay for like, you know, 50 bucks, 75 bucks. Oh, no. What's the max you would pay for a pie? For me? Am I high or am I not high? Are you ever high? I'm not high, but I feel like the people who bid on these pies were.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Because $350, $400, a plate of fudge went for $600. A plate of fudge! Yeah, a plate of fudge. Okay, but I think the audience, I think we all need a little bit more info. Set the scene.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Like, Vanderhoofen is what kind of city? Like, what kind of town is this? I don't know. And is it a fundraiser for what? For a pool. Yeah, but it's just a fucking pool? Yeah, yeah. That's it?
Starting point is 00:40:20 There's no, like, real fundraiser? And the water. Yeah, yeah. There's no real,iser? And the water. Yeah. There's no real fundraiser. What do you mean? It just seems like such a fuck. Well, no. I mean, if you're going to be giving $650 for a plate of fudge,
Starting point is 00:40:34 I mean, you think the Diabetes Association is going to get a little bit of money out of you. Oh, right. Do you know what I'm saying? It just seems like a very. If it was a fudge pool, I would pay for that. Do you mean a pool made of fudge or a pool with fudge in it? A pool with fudge in it. Oh, made of cracker.
Starting point is 00:40:50 But you don't call it a water pool, right? I don't call it anything pool. I just call it a swimming pool. Swimming pool, that's true. There's no sitting pools, though, and why not? For us who don't like to... We like the wet, but we don't like the exercise so much. A t-shirt pool. I like the wet. I don't like the wet, but we don't like the exercise so much. A t-shirt pool.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I like the wet. I don't like the exercise. I've got to be honest. It's what I like. So, yeah. So somebody paid $600 for a plate of fudge, and I felt bad for them because fudge is so cheap outside of Vanderhoof. You know what I mean? So you thought this person did not know the price of fudge.
Starting point is 00:41:27 That was my feeling of the whole hall. They didn't know that pies weren't $300. So you thought none of these people were giving for a pool. You thought these people were genuinely going, I've never had this thing called fudge before. Yeah, that's what it felt like. It must be $600. Why would they lie to us? Unlike that round of Survivor, where they give them all money to bid on food and they haven't eaten in weeks.
Starting point is 00:41:50 And people are paying thousands of dollars for a... Plate of fudge. Yeah. Basically, fudge Survivor is what I'm talking about. It feels so bad if you were on Survivor and you just bought a plate of fudge with your money and everybody else is like, A tent! You know what I mean? A gun. A plane ticket. on Survivor and you just bought a plate of fudge with your money and everybody else is like a tent. You know what I mean? A gun. A plane ticket.
Starting point is 00:42:10 And you were like, oh, that fudge. I can only eat two squares of it and I don't like it anymore. You can't survive on fudge. It's too sweet. A plate of fudge would be the worst purchase if you were starving. Oh my god. You'd realize what a terrible purchase this was.
Starting point is 00:42:25 I should have just eaten dirt. It's way more healthy. My grandfather also he would write the word mine in all of his clothing. M-I-N-E and we would ask, why do you write mine in all your clothing? He'd say, because
Starting point is 00:42:43 it's not mine, it's yours. So he was also a very charismatic, charming... Idiot. But why would he write mine if it isn't mine? Because he worked in a mine, Dave. One time... One of these clothes have been tainted by mine. One time his canoe got stolen out of the backyard,
Starting point is 00:43:07 and the police came over. Coincidentally. No, he called the police. We've got good news and bad news. And they said, well, sir, was your name or initials in it? And he had to explain to them that mine is written in it. And they had to say, why does it say mine? He had to say, because it's not mine.
Starting point is 00:43:25 It's not yours. It's mine. And so, yeah. I said it wrong the first time. Wrong the first time. I realized that. Yeah. So I'm the bad guy.
Starting point is 00:43:32 It's not yours. It's mine. No, you're not a bad guy at all. Oh, Lord. Oh, man. I'm a terrible guest. Did they find the canoe? I just realized.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Did they find the canoe? No, it's dead. The canoe's gone. Someone's got it. Someone's in Al. Did they find the canoe? No, it's dead. The canoe's gone. Someone's got it. Someone's in Algonquin Park with the canoe and having a whale of a time while my grandfather's at the bottom of a fucking grave, Graham! A fucking grave!
Starting point is 00:43:57 But anyway, besides that, all's pretty good. He's at the very top of a grave. We buried him at the top Just under the top soil One foot That was in his will We sodded right over his face His nose is sticking up like Jaws' tail
Starting point is 00:44:16 I rolled the last piece of sod Over my grandfather's fucking face I said fuck for face Because we have some impact No but if you do want to go see my grandfather you just gotta lift up the sod and you can see him in all his glory
Starting point is 00:44:31 and be like oh that's right and then you put it down and you say your new date and that was my grandfather that's my grandfather he's mine now oh god lot of dark talk Tonight

That's also a bathing suit area! Graham wears an old-timey bathing suit From the 20th I wear a scuba suit

Starting point is 00:46:52 Okay. No! No! John's undoing Dave's belt. And John tried to run away with the belt. No, I was going to hit him with it. Okay, go ahead. Graham, you got something on your mind.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Oh, yeah. What was my segment? No, it was Dave's segment, which was... No, Graham shut me up for his segment. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Do you want to shut me up for yours? I don't, I have no, I go, no I have no idea what that was Supposed to be something though, genuinely

Starting point is 00:48:08 What's that? Just for Halloween. It's like the month before Halloween. Okay, go. There's costumes that are licensed official costumes of movies and TV shows. And then there's knock-off costumes.
Starting point is 00:48:23 You're Ant-Man. Yes. Your Fighting Man. I don't read comic books. But Fighting Man would be exactly the name of one of these. Oh, one of the knock-offs. Knock-offs. Because they can't use the official name.
Starting point is 00:48:36 So I went to an actual Halloween store, and I found some real knock-off names, and some of these are also made up. So that's the challenge of this. We have to guess what's the genuine knockoff and what's not. You gotta guess what it is based on the knockoff name.
Starting point is 00:48:54 What is it knocking off? Is this a competition between Dave and I or is it just friendly? Okay. I mean it's friendly but it's a competition. No, no. Dave, it's never friendly. If it's a competition it's not friendly. Dave, it's never friendly. All right. If it's a competition, it's not friendly. It sure isn't. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:08 The first one is Candy Girl. Candy Girl. I'm going to say that is a genuine knockoff. No, you're not getting this right. I don't know what's going on. What am I missing? You have to say what it's knocking off. Oh, what it is knocking off?

Why did you say some of them are real and some of them are not? Oh, because you'll see some of them are fake. Because you had to invent some of them?
Starting point is 00:49:30 Yeah. Oh. But this one's real. Okay. Come on, John. Go ahead, Dave. What do you think it is? It's going to be like, I don't know, a character from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Starting point is 01:08:51 you remember my friend Anna who peed on my couch? She sent me a Snapchat. Guess what she was doing. And in case you were wondering, the Snapchat was a picture of a mushroom that said I'm a real fun guy. That's cute. There's room for puns always.

Overheard girls, they make the rock and roll go round. So I cycle everywhere, so I don't often have public transit overheards. But mine was while I was in my neighborhood.
Starting point is 01:10:28 I missed it. Mine was while I lived in commercial drive area. And a couple of young hipster east van dudes going by on a Friday evening. It was like 6, 7 o'clock and they're going by and the one guy's going,
Starting point is 01:10:46 Friday, Friday, do you know it's Friday? And the other guy goes, dude, it's T-minus 16 hours till we blow everyone's minds. So that's like 10 in the morning. That's amazing. I don't know what

Starting point is 01:12:14 Yeah, we were waiting for our grandfathers. I get it. Just a hospital. It's kind of a double whammy because two things happened right after another. One was that a guy had something stuck in his throat. He was sort of choking, but okay. And his bros were there with him laughing every time he tried to clear his throat. Classic.
Starting point is 01:12:37 And then his friends would, yeah. What counts as an emergency in the emergency room? I'm choking. You can wait. Yeah. Oh, this is an emergency in the emergency room. I'm choking. You can wait.
Starting point is 01:12:49 And then a doctor walked out with a younger guy, like around 20. And the doctor said, so see, it wasn't really an emergency. You could have waited and gone to the clinic tomorrow. And then the kid said, hey, man, these are my balls. Thanks, guys. Bill Murray! Bill Murray! So, she's going last? No, he's next.
Starting point is 01:13:11 What's your name? We're counting on you. Evan. Evan. Go ahead, Evan. Do we have a name for Evan there, John? Yep. Go ahead. I was on the number 20 bus, and there were these two...
Starting point is 01:13:26 20-minute countdown! Go ahead. Mid-60s, Eastern European gentlemen with very heavy accents behind me. And they were talking about sexting. And the... I mean, there were a couple of good ones, but my favorite was...
Starting point is 01:13:41 The guy said... Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Hold on. Uh-oh. It's a good thing you didn't go last. No, that would be great if it ended right there. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:13:52 You'd burn this place down. He said, um. Evan, start again. Start again. Okay. He said, I come. Delete, delete, delete. Yeah. Pretty good, Evan.
Starting point is 01:14:08 Evan, everybody. What were you laughing about in your private little thing there? It doesn't even matter. You said 20 minute countdown? I said a million different... I have this thing. I have something wrong in my head.
Starting point is 01:14:21 I honestly think something is wrong with me. I'm going to have to go to one of these emergency rooms these guys are talking about. No, I just kept saying things wrong, and I looked at Dave, and the way he just... Dave subtly shook his head. I knew I had said it wrong all three times.
Starting point is 01:14:40 And then for some reason, I felt like I needed to express to Dave, oh, I got the right answer. But meanwhile, all this is going... Anyway, it was all just too much. It's not entertaining. I said 20-minute countdown, but it's actually...
Starting point is 01:14:51 I thought it was a 20-minute workout, and then I realized, no, it's a 22-minute workout, isn't it? Oh, you don't care either. I don't know is the thing. Okay, does anyone remember the aerobics show from the 80s? Oh, yeah. That would be 22 minutes. 22 minutes, thank you. What was would be 22 minutes. 22 minutes. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:15:06 What was it? 20 minutes? 20 minutes. Shut up! It's not body break! What did you say? It was 20, not 22? So I did get it right the second time, and it doesn't even matter because he doesn't know,
Starting point is 01:15:17 so let's move on. Okay. All right, last overhead. Last overhead. Here it is. Here we go. Here we go. A lot of pressure.

Here, let me... Do you want me to bring it down a bit? Please do. Wait a minute. What did they do with the other two minutes of the workout? Because this is the last one. Because it's a 22-minute broadcast.

Starting point is 01:17:00 Okay, all right. But a lot of these people drove long distances. I mean, we should do something for them. Don't do it. You know what I mean? Like what? Like what? Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:08 I mean, we're three smart chaps. Why don't we just dream something up to entertain these folks? They came a long way, and they're still here. They clearly have some energy, and we're going to deny them? I mean, I know the showbiz saying is leave them wanting more, but I think we should probably... We should not do that. We should not do that.
