Starting point is 00:01:30 I'd love to get to know you. Get to know us. Lauren was saying, speaking of gender roles, before we even started the podcast, that you were predicted by a medicine woman that you were going to be a boy. A witch doctor? A medicine... A soothsayer? A dream catcher?
Starting point is 00:01:52 A palm reader? A grasshopper? My mom ran away up north for many years. I think we talked about this on the last podcast. Yeah, your mom's always running. She's a great lady. She does all these astrology. And when she was pregnant
Starting point is 00:02:05 She just wanted to have my fortune read So she saw someone who predicted Who predicted my future My great grandfather read tea leaves But he had already passed away So she went to The local psychic And they did really good
Starting point is 00:02:23 They predicted I'd be a boy. Wow. They did do very well. Yeah. Because well, I got balls. Sure. I got balls. That was the name of that company that originally manufactured Nooticles. I got balls.
Starting point is 00:02:39 I got balls. But you're not. You're not a boy. I'm a girl. You're a girl. And what boy I'm a girl And what a girl So what's going on lately for Lauren Martin? What's the scoop? What's the skinny? I saw you at a show last night Yeah we were at the Comedy Mix last night
Starting point is 00:02:59 Is that what it's called? It's the new Comedy Club They have nice TVs And it's called the Comedy Mix because... Because there's no reason for it. When I first got a phone call from them, I programmed the number into my phone. And I immediately forgot the name of the club. So it's still on my phone as the Comedy Buzz.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Comedy Buzz. 94.9 on your FM dial. Comedy buzz. But I... That's all you heard on stage last night, too. It was just a dead buzz. Yeah. Well, there were a lot of boo-boos there.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Just like a waving flag, Dave. Just like a waving flag. But we... You said you were excited about the show today and you were going to have... You had planned today to see um a movie oh but you didn't i did what movie were you gonna see bailed oh but i love her she's she hears this she's gonna feel so bad she's like i'm so sorry we're gonna go see the karate kid oh with little starring kung Fu as karate. No.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Oh, yeah. Yeah, they are, aren't they? Yes. It's not karate. No, it's not karate. It's karate. And it's two and a half hours. Really?
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So I had to like, we had to plan ahead. And then she canceled. So I just spent the day watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Which is just as good. Which is almost better.
Starting point is 00:04:24 It's related. It's like seeing, because a young Will Smith in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air would have only been, what, maybe 10 years older than his son in current Karate Kid form? 20 when he started.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Yeah, I agree. Yeah, he was a young pup. I mean, yeah, but like, oh, he would have only been twice his son's age. But he didn't have Justin Bieber on. On the soundtrack? On the soundtrack.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And they have him on the soundtrack for the Karate Kid. That's what got me so stoked. He does like what Vanilla Ice did in Ninja Turtles. Right. Where it's just Bieber does like a kung fu rap. Yeah. In a bar. Go Karate Kid.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Go Karate Kid. Go. So did you, wait, did you see the movie or you didn't see the movie? I didn't see the movie. You went and saw,
Starting point is 00:05:09 you watched Freshman. Yeah, I just bought the soundtrack. I like soundtracks. Is that, you know what, I used to be really embarrassed because people who actually
Starting point is 00:05:19 care about music tend to look down on people who buy soundtracks but I really, I enjoy putting them on and then like seeing how long it takes people to guess what movie it's from this is what i do at home with my like movie store nerd friends all right so like see how many songs it takes yeah i'm like okay what what movie is this from and uh that's not bad actually it's not a bad game it takes a bit too long oh it's like a drinking actually. It's a fun game. That's not a bad game at all. It takes a bit too long for my life.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Oh, it's like a drinking game. Like a long sit type of game, right? Well, yeah. Or it's like a bonus game. Yeah, sure. If you win the first game, you get to play this game. And the first game is the game of love. The first game is the three questions you have to answer to enter my dungeon.
Starting point is 00:06:04 What are the three questions you have to answer to enter my dungeon. What are the three questions? The question's three. What's your favorite soundtrack? Who directed Citizen Kane? And was Bieber on that soundtrack? That used to be a qualifying question for Videomatica. When people would drop off their resumes, we'd say, Who directed Citizen Kane? And you'd be surprised that people didn't know that a lot of people that it was
Starting point is 00:06:29 lars von triers yeah well he directed the original and then they on video michael bay did the wasn't there a movie called citizen dick that's what i was thinking there's i know there's a movie out there called citizen dick wasn't that the band in Singles? That's right. That's exactly what I'm thinking of. Then there is another movie called Citizen Something. Ruth? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Wow. Citizen Ruth is so good. With Laura Dern? Yeah. She's awesome. She's also in the fabulous Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, which was filmed in East Vancouver. And you guys need to fucking watch that movie.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Don't point at me. We need to fuck and watch that movie? Fucking watch that movie. Sorry. Wait a second. So what if you went to the video store and somebody applied and then you said, who directed Citizen Kane?
Starting point is 00:07:16 And they said the director of Citizen Ruth. Would you let them pass on like, you got it wrong, but you'd guess something equally... You chose an indie movie. Yeah. Like, hard to get. Something indier.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Yeah. Who directed Citizen Ruth? Oh. I don't know. I know it was the same person who directed Election. I know that. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Fun facts about things. Yeah. Was it a woman who directed Election? I feel like it was. I don't know. No way of knowing. I don't know. No way of knowing. Please don't write in.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Speaking of writing in... Last week on the show... Yeah, we talked about... If you could use a hot dog on an iPhone. Or an iPod Touch. Yeah, because it stimulates... Simulates? Yeah, and apparently, yes, you can. Yeah, so stop writing in and telling us that. Thank you to
Starting point is 00:08:09 the 20-odd people who alerted us to that fact. Got it. They tried. Well, that's good. Participation. Yeah, make your move. No, but I'm wondering, because I was listening to the last show, but would it still work for running hot dogs through your hair?
Starting point is 00:08:30 Would that still cure loneliness? Because sometimes... Instead of fingers? I'm sometimes nights along. Yeah, but running fingers through your hair doesn't cure loneliness. Oh, I guess someone else's fingers. No, yeah, because you know it's your own fingers. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:08:47 You can trick yourself into thinking it's someone else's hot dog fingers. Because then you can also feel like pimples and scabs on your scalp. So you kind of are like... You should probably just switch shampoos. So if you just took, say, like a rake and put five hot dogs on it and then just rubbed your head against it, that would make you feel better? Well, four hot dogs. Four hot dogs and maybe
Starting point is 00:09:09 a baby carrot is the thought. Yeah, it has to be at a different angle. Isn't there a film called Edward Penis Hands? I wouldn't classify it as a film. Is this one of your Videomatica questions that I have to answer to get a job? You know, true answer is yes, there is.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Listeners not in Vancouver, Videomatica is a video store, but kind of an arthouse video store. It's a really, really old, dusty video store. How many copies of Eraserhead did they have there? Like how many different versions of Eraserhead? Oh, like special edition. Deluxe special edition. Anniversary edition. Turbo. On a dual disc with a really shitty movie that you didn't want to buy.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Oh, really? You know when they do those two packs and it's like one really big movie? Yeah, like that guy who was shot. Two packs. I have a story about Tupac. He has a banana with the skin on. That's K-Pax. You got a story about Tupac? I have a story about Tupac.
Starting point is 00:10:03 All right. When the internet first kind of came out in 2004. Do you remember did everyone use like MIRC? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Like a chat program, right? Yeah. I was on there chatting away. You were at number sign Tupac. And this guy no this guy who was number sign
Starting point is 00:10:21 Tupac or whatever he came on. I think the rooms were number sign and then whatever the topic. Yeah, that's probably where Twitter got it from. Almost.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Is that pound? Yeah. Pound. Pound Tupac. Yeah. And he came on and he's like, hey, I'm Tupac. Do you want to cyber with me? It's really lonely here in the grave and I was like yeah didn't you die
Starting point is 00:10:49 and he's like no I just faked it all Machiavelli style I faked it but please don't fake your orgasm small oh small oh small oh big oh I'm rubbing my penis through your hair my five penises small, oh, big old... I'm rubbing my penis through your hair.
Starting point is 00:11:06 My five penises. This got off to a bang. Yeah, it was great. So, what's been shaking? What's been going on? Well, I've graduated from shelling videos. Now we're making a movie. So I'm working on that this year.
Starting point is 00:11:24 So I was studying my lines. I was working on my character and stuff. And can you, is it, would it be against the production to let us know like what is the movie about? Okay, well, it's a local, it's going to be a local, very indie sort
Starting point is 00:11:40 of production. It's all based in Vancouver. It's all people from Vancouver. Laura Dern. Fabulous stains. Was that right? Yeah, and Diane Lane's in that movie, too. You can see her boobs. What? Local boobs. No, outside of town
Starting point is 00:11:55 boobs, locally. Yeah, filmed locally. Yeah, the best. Filmed locally, underage. She's underage in that movie. Wait, how old is this movie? Yeah, because Diane Lane is, she's in her mid-40s what how old is this movie yeah cause Diane Lane is she's she's in her mid 40s oh I thought you meant
Starting point is 00:12:08 Diane Weiss I think it was like 1980s so my why not write it why not sure
Starting point is 00:12:16 I was just watching Hannah and Her Sisters isn't she in that movie she is I don't know right yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:12:23 and she's so funny she's like this actor it's a total she's like yeah. And she's so funny. She's like this actor. She's like a caterer. She's a total failure. She's all like, I don't know why you guys are always judging me. I haven't done drugs in a year. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And she's like the crazy sister.
Starting point is 00:12:37 I'd like to apologize to any caterers. You're not failures. Yeah, especially if you own your own catering. Yeah, sure. Here's a question about catering companies. I'm just going to throw it out there. Yeah, especially if you own your own catering company. Yeah, sure. Here's a question about catering companies. I'm just going to throw it out there. Yeah. Does always a catering company have to have a clever name or a pun name?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Does it have to be like, The Butler Did It or Peak of Catering? Oh, The Butler Did It. You know what I mean? Is there just like Stan's Catering? Or would anybody hire Stan's Catering when you could have Butterfingers Catering instead, right? But they drop everything. That's true. Yeah, that's not a good name at all.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Ay carumba. Now, I understand you're making a movie. So my movie is about a guy who loves coffee. What's the working title of this picture? Do Something With Your Life. Okay. It's by Borotime Productions. And if you actually go on the website, you can see all our
Starting point is 00:13:27 short movies. Because we started out doing... Vancouver does all these 24-hour film festivals. Yes. I was in one one time, yeah. Well, I've been in a few. How many hours were it? 72? No, they're up to 72. I did a 24-hour once, and then I did a 48-hour, and now we're up to 72. You'd think that
Starting point is 00:13:43 with improved technology and video editing software yeah like a 5 hour film yeah but they actually wanted decent films because the first few years
Starting point is 00:13:52 they were all pretty hacked together were they not well like it would be an opening scene and then cut in some chunks of platoon
Starting point is 00:14:00 and then just a classic scene go on sorry I just no it's fine it's a it's a very exciting time in film and then just a classic scene. Sorry. No, it's fine. It's a very exciting time in film. In film? Yeah. So do something with your life.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah. So we've done all these short films and then the writer Andrew Menzies wrote a feature and this guy loses his job. He loses his girlfriend. He loses his self-respect. Loses his mind probably a bit. Loses his way, would you say? Loses his job. He loses his girlfriend. He loses his self-respect. Loses his mind probably a bit.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Loses his way, would you say? Loses his way. I describe the film as man versus self. Okay, yeah. And I get to be the sassy love interest with a dirty mouth. So it's going to be a real stretch, guys. Yeah, you're very sassy. You know from you saying the F word and making a number two joke. Right off the top, yeah. You're very sassy. You sing the F word
Starting point is 00:14:46 and make a number two joke. Very filthy. Maybe this is Lauren being in character. I method. I so method. Have you started shooting yet? When do you start methoding up?
Starting point is 00:15:01 You gotta method up a few hours ahead of time. At least when you use methadone, because it only lasts about 12 hours. Then you start, the fuzz wears off, so you gotta... Do you think that Method Man does method acting? Just consider it.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Okay. So you're shooting this movie, you're gonna shoot it all summer? All summer long. This is an indie movie, though. Oh, all summer long, like the Kid Rock song. All summer long. Yeah. So it's not coming to Theater New You. Sure.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Hey, because I'm just, I love struggling in the trenches, right? However, I do have good news. Okay. The last podcast, I spent a long time talking about my favorite uncle. Yeah. And his career has really taken off since the podcast. I'm afraid of what you're saying. I mean, actually, he has a part in FUBAR, too.
Starting point is 00:15:53 There's going to be a FUBAR, too? Yeah, they're making a sequel to FUBAR because I had so many unanswered questions. Yeah, well, he... What happened to that bus stop they broke? Yeah. Jesse grew his hair back I know he kept his mustache but then he lost all his hair
Starting point is 00:16:08 you've seen Fubar yeah yeah our listeners may not have if you yeah for anybody not not only not of Canada but not of Western Canada Fubar was a movie about two like metalhead Calgarian guys and then
Starting point is 00:16:24 I thought they were from Winnipeg no it's calgary calgary it was filmed in my uh neighborhood that i grew up in all right foobar stands for fucked up beyond all recognition sure right so it's a term for being really drunk yeah so they got drunk well it's originally it was a war term correct correct thank you well you know what you're a smart man gram not really um but that film it centered around two kind of like a wayne and garth if they drank a lot and fought yeah and like i didn't finish high school and parts of the movie people didn't know that it was not uh a documentary because it was shot like a documentary and there were parts where they went into bars and everybody in the bar thought
Starting point is 00:17:07 they were shooting a documentary about these two guys but they were actually not. It was years and years before Borat ever was on the scene like it. So they're making a sequel. And your uncle is in the sequel. Playing hockey
Starting point is 00:17:24 and then... But playing... And your uncle is in the sequel. Yes. Playing. Playing hockey. And then. But playing. You lucked out that it was a sport. And he's wandering around this pawn shop that they're in. Yeah. And they were like. Spoiler alert. Yeah, spoiler alert. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:39 He doesn't say anything in the pawn shop, but. Yeah. But look for him. He's wearing like a. You've seen the dailies? What are those? Cowichan sweaters? A calico sweater.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Yeah, it's got thumbs. That's a polydactyl. And before the podcast started, we talked about a weird happening where, because I saw you in Calgary, incidentally. I was in Calgary.
Starting point is 00:18:08 You were in Calgary. I was in Calgary. I didn't know you were in Calgary. I didn't know you were in Calgary. Exactly. So just a bump into affair at a comedy show. And I was doing a show and there was a very drunk, you were on the show as well. I was first up.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah, it was mostly drunk people, right? Very drunk people. It was snowing in Calgary. This was May 3rd or 4th. And it was snowing. Keep in mind. It's an awful place. So I think a lot of people were just staying put. I don't think the people were there for a comedy show, but they'd been there
Starting point is 00:18:40 for hours and hours. Sure, waiting out the snow. Waiting out the snow, so they were staying for the comedy show. Yeah, and then there was a guy who was super drunk who came quite intoxicated yeah and i chatted with him for most of my set because he was a very good sport he was a very funny guy into your yeah he walked up on yeah on stage and uh whatever stage there was and uh sat down right next to it yeah that's right and uh so I chatted with him for my whole set. Was there seating available to him? Yeah, oh, definitely. Yeah, more than enough.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Graham sort of said hi, and he thought that... Like that was an invite to walk into the set. Sure, okay. And so I spent the whole time talking to him, which he was a good sport, and he was funny. Yeah, he was a funny guy. Yeah, and then I saw him chatting with you, and then you guys ended up kind of... Going out the back door. Yeah, kind of a funny guy. Yeah, and then I saw him chatting with you, and then you guys ended up kind of...
Starting point is 00:19:26 Going out the back door. Yeah, kind of dating for a while. That's correct. Yeah. Well, I just, I like... He's... Did you know him before that? No.
Starting point is 00:19:37 No. That's what's so great about it. It's just, it's a one in a million story that probably would never happen ever again. Nobody else but me. So it was really interesting not only to see how the night developed but also to be
Starting point is 00:19:55 like, I think that guy is... But he's a nice guy. He's not always drunk. No, no, no, no. His kickball game had been canceled that night. Oh, on account of snow. Because he plays corporate kickball.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Oh, kickball's gotten so corporate. It used to be about the kickball. Now we have to listen to the Eagles. Yeah. Well, actually, I went and played a game with him the next week. He's like, you should come to my kickball game. That's how he was romancing me. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I know, it's very romantic. And we were playing against jack fm oh sure they play what they like which is kickball and they brought they brought a stereo that was like pumping jack fm while we were playing and avril lavigne came on like twice and i stand on third base and i was like so dude i'm just wondering who who keeps playing Afro-Levine? Burn! That was a lie. You may have broken the microphone. Worth it.
Starting point is 00:20:54 It won't be my first. Tell me about this kickball game. Were people taking it seriously? Some people take it really seriously. Were people wearing athletic really seriously but were people wearing athletic gear or were people wearing like
Starting point is 00:21:07 ironic short shorts and stuff well I ended up playing a few games with these guys and there was
Starting point is 00:21:13 a funny team that were wearing like pink shorts and shirts that said kick my bunt or something like you know
Starting point is 00:21:21 like clever shirts or whatever I don't know how clever that is no what does kick my bunt mean oh i was a play on dick my c word yeah like to draw on it yeah with a bit with a bit yeah because i only make three kinds of products lighters shavers and pens yeah oh right, why did I go with pens?
Starting point is 00:21:45 shavers would have been the obvious well doy nuts nerds so there was one funny team and then there was a singles team and they didn't seem like they were having any fun and my theory is that
Starting point is 00:22:02 they all joined the singles team and then they didn't like the selection. Yeah, that's a problem with the, I remember one time I did a show with a past guest, Lachlan Patterson. And it was this singles group that goes out and they go, like, they plan an activity. Like, this week we're canoeing. And everybody. And next week we're canoodling.
Starting point is 00:22:28 like this week we're canoeing and everybody and next week we're canoodling and we did uh one of the things was to go to a comedy show and they actually like booked the urban well which was the big comedy place at the time and we did a show and lachlan's a very handsome man and uh all the girls at this single thing spent the whole time trying to talk to Lachlan. And there was tables and tables and tables of guys sitting by themselves. So there's, yeah, you don't take a single vote. But if you join a singles kickball team and there's like no one you're into on the team, like do you have to stick it out the whole schedule? Do you have to go to every game yeah oh yeah oh you mean if you join the team that's just always kickball yeah it's not different
Starting point is 00:23:11 events yeah yeah that would be well why would you join if unless you like kickball oh i guess wouldn't you do it i like kickball and i hope to get laid yeah yeah you wouldn't be like i hope to get laid. Yeah. Yeah. You wouldn't be like, I hope to get laid first. I'll do anything. I'll kick anything. I'll kick anything. I'll kick any kind of ball. I don't care. So, yeah, no, it was a very, very romantic story.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Yeah. Yeah. We went to Callaway Park. Oh, Callaway Park, for listeners, is named so. It's an amusement park outside of Calgary. Is it named that for the golf clubs? No, it's named for it because it's away from Calgary. Oh. For real.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I always wondered what it was, and then an employee said, it's because it's away from Calgary. And I was like, surely you're joking. I think that's their own theory. No, well, you tell me then why is it named Callaway Park? Isn't Callaway some sort of place in Scotland? Yeah, but it just doesn't have a Scottish theme. It actually has a Flintstones theme.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Yeah, it used to be a Flintstones park, and then they lost the rights to that, but all the garbage cans still look like Flintstones. So they just painted over it. There used to be a Flintstones fun So they just painted over it. We used to have, there used to be a Flintstone Fun Park in like Chilliwack. Yes. And I don't think
Starting point is 00:24:30 they lost the rights to it. I think nobody cares. No, no, you don't want to piss off those Hanna-Barbera people. Yeah. They'll get snagglepuss on you. That was the other,
Starting point is 00:24:42 the weird Calgary artifact. There used to be like a TV station in Calgary called Two and Seven. Two and Seven and you. There you go. That song you're singing, they used to play at the beginning and the end of every broadcast day. It was like a song about how much they loved being in Calgary. And then I looked it up on YouTube. The song was called Hello, Calgary.
Starting point is 00:25:05 And then right underneath it, there was one called Hello, Milwaukee. And I clicked on it. Same fucking song. So they just shipped this song around to all these different TV stations. I'm sure people listening might be surprised that there's, when you say Jack FM, might be surprised. That there's a Jack in every city. Yeah, that there's a Jack FM outside of their town. Jack FM.
Starting point is 00:25:22 There's a Jack in every city. Yeah, there's a Jack FM outside of their town. Yeah, not only Jack FM, but you may be listening in New Jersey and you remember Hello New Jersey. And that song wasn't just for your city. But yeah, it's good. Glad to have you on the podcast. Thank you. And thanks for coming out and being a lady.
Starting point is 00:25:43 But if you're a guy, would have been just as good, I imagine. Just as good. Check out my pipes. Dave, what's going on with you? How are your pipes? They're fine. She used to have balls. Now she has pipes. She's decided that that's more radio-friendly.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I'm doing finely well. I'm doing well and fine. You were talking earlier about Justin Bieber on the soundtrack i saw justin bieber they replayed the uh snl that he was on a couple weeks ago yeah and uh i also saw him on the today show uh he did in his song um he's got these dancers that uh i don't think they they hang out a lot he and the dancers because they're in their 20s and he's a kid? Yeah, but also I think he is, he thinks he's too cool for them.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Which he probably is. Yeah, let's call it like it is. He is too cool for most people. Yeah, but he's got a line in one of the songs, in the big song, Baby. It's something about shaking me awake from a dream etc yeah uh and in the choreography for the song two dancers come up and shake them a bit yeah oh no and uh and then he shrugs them off does he pretend like he's dreaming just no he's still singing he's got to keep his eyes open okay so he doesn't put on a nightcap he has some sleepy time tea
Starting point is 00:27:06 so they they uh they grab his shirt and they shake him a bit yeah and he shrugs them off and uh they kind of do like uh a couple of seconds of hey what's up like just the dancers to themselves trying to get in trying to steal a bit of the spotlight yeah before they get back to their dance moves i don't like that well you to their dance moves. I don't like that. You don't like it? No. I don't like it either. Yeah, I don't like when the dancers try to get in on it or try to act.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Like to do a little acting. Yeah. Okay. I don't like that Justin doesn't do his own dancing. What do you mean? He's foot-sinking? There's some sort of foot-sinking going on with Justin Bieber. No, he doesn't dance. He stands and he points. SNL was my first initiation to the Bieber fever. And I was surprised because I was like, oh, this is like the new Justin Timberlake.
Starting point is 00:27:54 But better. But they didn't bother with the other four guys in NSYNC. He just has backup dancers. Yeah. They're replaceable. Exactly. Yeah. They're not even trying anymore.
Starting point is 00:28:04 They're not even packaging boy bands to kids. They're just like... Well, no. Yeah. They're replaceable. Exactly. Yeah. They're not even trying anymore. Like, they're not even packaging boy bands to kids. They're just like... Well, no, yeah. But he didn't come packaged. That's the... He's from, like, the backwoods of Quebec or something. The unique thing... It's for the bird crap.
Starting point is 00:28:17 That's why he doesn't know how to dance. He's a habitant. And he was born in a log cabin. Yeah. He eats nothing but maple syrup. But the thing that is unique about this kid is that the fans picked him kind of out of obscurity and made him into, yeah, into this big star. He wasn't manufactured, you know, sperm and egg, right? The way we all are manufactured.
Starting point is 00:28:45 But then beyond that. But he wasn't molested by Lou Pearlman. Yeah, no, there was no... And so that's why he said... Rhea Pearlman, actually. She's got her dirty paws on everything. Tiny little paws. Didn't he get...
Starting point is 00:28:59 He got a tattoo or something. Is he old enough to get a tattoo? No, but he's cool enough. Not if he was my kid. Yeah, but he kind of like... He was my kid. He got one down near the belt line, like where a girl would get one.
Starting point is 00:29:13 And it was of something, like I think it was a heart. He kind of looks like a girl. I know I'm not the first one to say it. I'm not pretending I'm the first one to say it. There's a whole blog that's devoted to lesbians who look like Justin Bieber. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:26 The haircut is the thing that I hear most often being derided about. Like that he's got the straight across. But then if you look at old pictures of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, they had the exact same haircut. So all I'm saying is if the haircut makes the man. Yeah. Then he's the next Beatles. Yeah. Wrapped up into one perfect package.
Starting point is 00:29:48 What's the Eenie Meenie Miney Moe Lover is one of his songs? I don't know it. Is it Email My Heart? That's not a song, is it? That was a Britney Spears song from her first album. Really? I don't think I've ever heard it, but I just remember that being like the epitome of just, let's take a current technology, make a pop song about it, give it to a starlet. So that's, but that's the reverse.
Starting point is 00:30:16 It's like, let's take something that kids know, eeny, meeny, miny, moe, and just put lover at the end of it. Yeah, sure. You're my bubba black sheep lover. You're my eye spy with my little eye lover. So you saw some beavers dancing. Ten beavers dancing. Sure. That was troubling.
Starting point is 00:30:38 The dancers were trying to steal his thunder. Yeah. But basically, I see a lot of attitude from backup dancers. I just remember, I can't think of any specifics, but like, Britney Spears definitely had one backup dancer who had like frosted tips. She slept with that guy. No, that was Kevin Federline. No, the reason she and Justin Timberlake broke up is she had an affair with one of her backup
Starting point is 00:31:01 dancers. Oh, probably the guy who tried to steal the spotlight. Yeah. Wade. His name was Wade Wade totally I've known a Wade or two
Starting point is 00:31:11 so is that all that happened that didn't even happen this week it was weeks ago I mean it still has happened but you know let's talk about movie soundtracks oh I week. It was weeks ago. I mean, stuff's happened, but you know. Let's talk about movie soundtracks.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Oh, I really like the Fantastic Mr. Fox soundtrack. It's great. Any Wes Anderson movie. Yeah, that's true. That's too easy almost. He stalks the soundtracks. He probably has the soundtrack before he has the movie. Yeah, he is. Yeah, so what do you mean that's too easy? I like Dumb and Dumber the soundtrack. He probably has the soundtrack before he has the movie. Yeah, he is.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah, so what do you mean that's too easy? I like Dumb and Dumber's soundtrack. Peter Pumpkinhead, why not? Sure. She's a vegetarian. Oh, yeah, who sang that one? I don't know. Dumb and Dumber.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Dead Eye Dick. It was Dead Eye Dick. Dead Eye Dick. That's who I meant when I said Citizen Dick. Sure. It all comes full circle. Yeah, wasn't Peter Pumpkinhead head that was crashed as dummies? And then there was another...
Starting point is 00:32:11 What's the song that they sing that... Mock. Yeah. Was that on the soundtrack? I don't know. I'll just turn your mic down. You should just turn my mic off. I don't know what you're trying to your mic. You should just turn my mic off. I don't know what you're trying to say, Graham.
Starting point is 00:32:27 What do you mean? Like, I don't know. You haven't finished a sentence. For a long time? Have I just been fuffering? It wasn't there. Oh, God. And then.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Oh, God. Never mind. Okay. How are you, Graham? Yeah, let's get to know you. I feel like we've reached the Bieber fever pitch. Bieber saturation. Bieber fever pitch. Bieber saturation. Bieber mania.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Yeah, what happened this week? I played a show during – we touched on very briefly on the last episode that UFC was in town. Oh, yeah. And I played at a comedy club downtown during the UFC tournament or whatever. Not at the UFC tournament. Not to my recollection. It was at the same club you guys were at last night, the Comedy Buzz.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Yeah, sure. 2.9 on the FM dial. And we... It was myself and two other comics and the Thursday night there was like 12 people there. It's a new club. Still trying to find its legs or feet or people to sit there.
Starting point is 00:33:31 And then I really thought the UFC thing would be more horrible downtown. But it was the lead up seemed to be the more horrible part. Thursday and Friday night, there were gigantic men everywhere. Like more than you. It was the lead up seemed to be the more horrible part. Thursday and Friday night, there were gigantic men everywhere. Like more than... It was raining them. Yeah, yeah. It was like what you would see the amount during wartime. Sure.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Like a lot of giant... VJ day. Yeah, yeah. They were at a parade. Everyone was kissing a nurse. Or threatening to beat one up. Sure. So yeah, it wasn't as catastrophic as most of the people that were in the audience were in town to see UFC.
Starting point is 00:34:14 They were staying in Vancouver over the weekend. And then I heard there was a couple, like, things where people got beaten up and stuff over the weekend. Predictable. Fairly. and stuff over the weekend. Predictable. Yeah, and so, you know, that was exactly what the people who didn't want it to come here to town,
Starting point is 00:34:30 they're like, people are coming to town to beat people up and people are like, that won't happen. And then that's exactly what happened. And a big fucking surprise. And, of course, one of them was a gay couple in their... Were they both men? In front of their house?
Starting point is 00:34:44 Were they both men? Both of the gays? What do you mean, like a guy and a girl who are both gay but hanging out together? That's how you form a couple. You need a man and a woman. Oh, Dave. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with your
Starting point is 00:34:59 urbane ways. Well, it was a man and me. I'm not pretty much a man. It was two dudes at their own apartment. And there was two guys pissing on their front door. Oh, my gosh. And they said, please don't. I imagine that's exactly how it went down.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Please don't piss on our front door. And then they got the shit kicked out of them. So, you know, I'm not saying that people that like UFC are into that kind of thing because they're not. Right. But... Here's a question. If you're peeing on someone's door...
Starting point is 00:35:29 Okay. ...and they tell you to stop... Yeah. ...do you finish peeing before you start beating them up? I think if there's two of you, you let one kind of lead and then you save up your pee
Starting point is 00:35:41 to pee on the person who you just knocked down. I would just be flying. Flying? You're going at them with a fist. And pee both going at them. Sure. It's your superpower.
Starting point is 00:35:54 For those at home that can't see, Lauren's idea of punching is sending out both hands at the same time in a Superman-like fashion. No, this hand had my dick in it. is sending out both hands at the same time in a Superman-like fashion. Or Donatello. No, this hand had my dick in it. Is that your dick?
Starting point is 00:36:11 I thought it was Pete. Is that your dick? It's pretty long. So yeah, it's a telescope. It's stretched out. But the other thing I did was I went and saw a movie. I heard about this. It was obscure because I hadn't really heard about it.
Starting point is 00:36:29 And somebody said, oh, you should see it. It's really neat. It was the Banksy movie, Exit Through the Gift Shop. Right. Oh, yeah. Have you seen it? No. No, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Banksy is a popular street artist. He's a street artist. Or he or she. Yeah, that's true. Because in the movie, whoever is Banksy or if it's somebody playing Banksy,
Starting point is 00:36:51 you don't ever see their face and you don't hear their voice. It's all scrambled. And again, don't you not really know if it's a true documentary
Starting point is 00:36:58 or if it's a film? Yeah, at the end of the movie, it's made like a documentary because I didn't know what it was about. And then at the very end, I go, wait a that a whole was that whole thing fake did i just sit through like a two-hour thing and then thinking it was real up until the last half hour and then going wait a minute it's a sasha baron cohen character uh it was really enjoyable though
Starting point is 00:37:21 because i didn't it was again like i'm never reading any movie reviews ever again, because they just ruin the fun out of everything. So I'm just going to, the next time I see a movie that the poster looks good, or I think it might, I'm just going to go. No more movie reviews. What about trailers? I hate trailers. Yeah, that's true. They give away too much of the...
Starting point is 00:37:40 Yeah. They give all the best parts. The Zazazoo, as they would say in that trailer for Sex and the City 2. Sex in Egypt. Sex in the Emirates. Prince of... Anyways. But yeah, I would highly recommend it if it's playing in your town, which I don't know if it's...
Starting point is 00:38:02 Or a computer. Yeah, or if it's playing in your computer let it out into your head and ears yeah and that's about it I really thought that the UFC thing would be more terrible and it was less terrible than I had
Starting point is 00:38:18 secretly hoped I kind of hoped it would be more crazy you were hoping there weren't isolated incidents but just widespread. Yeah, I wanted a riot. Not one where anybody gets hurt, but just one where stuff gets broken. Yeah, cars get tipped over. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Cows get tipped over. Or cows tip over cars. Like when it gets really crazy, like there's just cows and cars. Like at the Running of the Bulls. You only get those riots in Alberta. I've heard. I know somebody who's going to the running of the bulls this year. Is it still to come this year? Oh, you know what? I don't
Starting point is 00:38:52 have it penciled in. So you didn't send your bull a card this year? It's either the Tomatina or the running of the bulls that's coming up at the end of the month. Tomatina comes up at the end of summer. I know that is a fact. That's the tomato fight. And then, isn't there one coming up at the end of the month. Tomatina comes up at the end of summer. I know that is a fact. Is that with the tomatoes? Yeah. And then, wasn't there
Starting point is 00:39:08 one with, like, ink in India or something? Yeah, Squidsville, Tennessee. Sure. Yeah, anyway. You know someone going to the running of the bulls? Yeah, do you think that that's, does that sound like a horrible idea? Not if you're in really good shape. What? I'd say.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Like, how good shape? Like, bull shape? Like, can you run how many blocks? Can you run? Well, don't you have to, like, I've never watched I've only ever seen clips of it. I don't know if it's like a blocks long event or if, like, you make
Starting point is 00:39:39 it after one block, you can just, like, duck into a Or it's like the Tour de France, where it just goes on and on for days. There's doping. But no, it seems like it's sort of been done to death. Now it's
Starting point is 00:39:56 like a midlife crisis, bucket list sort of thing. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Those poor bulls. Do you think that's on any bulls bucket list? If it gets to get one of the humans, probably. those poor bulls do you think that's on any bulls bucket list run over some humans if it gets to get one of the humans probably
Starting point is 00:40:07 finally my dreams are coming true why not if anybody deserves to hate us it's them did you see that picture of the guy with the
Starting point is 00:40:15 bullfighter who got the yeah I felt good about that with the horn through the jaw that's what you were talking about
Starting point is 00:40:21 it came out of his mouth really a matador so a guy who was basically begging for a bull to do that to him. I'm a bull. I'm a Taurus. Okay. And so I relate to those little bulls.
Starting point is 00:40:33 And what year is this? And you're a boy. No, that's the time of the year. That's the... It's the year of the tiger. April, May. Yeah, no, I know, but what year is it? Oh, you wouldn't ask a lady that.
Starting point is 00:40:43 No, it's the year of the tiger, not the year of your birth. Oh, what year is it? Oh, you wouldn't ask a lady that. No, it's the year of the tiger, not the year of your birth. Oh, what year I was born. Oh, man. It's the year. You made a point of saying that. We're drinking tiger beer. Delicious tiger beer. She's a very astrological lady.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Yes, yes. And it's the year of the tiger. And so I was given the advice that you should really, it's a year to really work hard and put your nose to the grindstone because there's a lot of action happening. Sure. The other 11 years take the year off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Relax. Reflect. My auntie, my auntie Marilyn. I know, I always, I'm sorry. Are you a baby? My family all the time. My auntie, she's so funny. She was born in the year of the tiger.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Well, that's correct. So she's like 24? Yeah. And my mom was born in the year of the rabbit. And so they kind of sometimes butt heads, right? Or more so the tiger kind of eats the rabbit. Is that because of the year they were born or because they're both human beings? And one time she's telling me she's like
Starting point is 00:41:45 she's like well you know she just doesn't understand because because i'm a tiger and that's how i am you know i cut right to the chase i'm a tiger and i was like that's hey that's cool i understand and then she's like i'm also endangered and i like to swim a couple hours later we're going to the ice cream store and i was was like, hey, Auntie Marilyn, what kind of ice cream do you want? She's like, I only eat Tiger ice cream. Yeah, seriously. She's the only person. I was born in the year of the mint chocolate chip.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I only eat Frosted Flakes because they got Tony the Tiger on them. You guys thought I was going nowhere with that. No. And then I was like, oh, wait, wait. At no point am I worried that you're going nowhere with that No And then I was like Oh wait wait It's good At no point am I worried That you're going nowhere with anything I know it's gonna go somewhere
Starting point is 00:42:30 I didn't know it was gonna go Which is great Graham and I were both Both born in the year of the monkey Really? That's why I like you guys So we throw our feces at each other? Yeah
Starting point is 00:42:40 And we can learn to smoke cigarettes If given enough time Yeah Sure Yeah And sign language Yeah Well that's gorillas Yeah at each other. Yeah, and we can learn to smoke cigarettes if given enough time. Yeah, sure. And sign language. Well, that's gorillas. No, we can't learn sign language.
Starting point is 00:42:53 We can say, Amy likes you, and then trick the humans to going into the conco. We wear diapers. And you go to space. Yeah. And we die. And we kind of look like George Burns if you put us in a suit. Maybe a cigar. uh we both really like david schwimmer um so do you want to get uh do some overheard i would love to do some overheards overheard overheards uh in the tradition of the overheard segment we like to ask that the guest go first.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Oh. And you told me via email that you had a juicy one from a hockey game. And usually we mention what an overheard is. Oh, let me tell you about it. An overheard is those little tiny snippets. Nuglets. Nuglets. Sniglets.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Nards. Nards. Romulans. That you hear just in passing. Maybe you hear them... Out of context. Yeah. Perhaps.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Sometimes in context. But they're those things... Sometimes too much context. Yeah. And they're hard to relate in everyday life, but this is the forum for it. Or if you don't like our podcast, Greg Fitzsimmons has a segment. Yeah. We recommend his. Yeah. I has a segment. Yeah, yeah. That you can enjoy.
Starting point is 00:44:05 We recommend his, yeah. I've never listened. Neither have I. What? Well, I can't overhear about his show. I can't overhear. It's too much. Too much rage.
Starting point is 00:44:16 But Lauren, you said you had a great one. I'm excited. We like to start with the guests. I have never heard from... It was during hockey playoffs? Uh-huh. And it was when I was still in Calgary. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:27 This is getting more Canadian by the minute. Oh, yes. I went for a Calgary corporate lunch. Wait a minute. Is that like a corporate kickball game? Yeah. It was me meeting some people who work in an office for lunch. And then the lunch lasted nine hours.
Starting point is 00:44:44 What? I don't work in an office. Drinking? I know. Is that what corporate lunches are? for lunch and then the lunch lasted nine hours of drinking. I know. Is that what corporate lunches are? It's where you just never go back to the office. Oh, because you're a cog in a machine and you won't be missed. I've only ever worked at small companies where they're like, where have you been?
Starting point is 00:44:58 Yeah, that's true. You're like, I was in the bathroom. I was crying. I have IBS. Needed some time. I was in the bathroom. I was crying. I have IBS. I have IBS. Needed some time. I had a corporate lunch. I have corporate IBS.
Starting point is 00:45:16 So we were drinking in the bar in the middle of the day, and the hockey game was on. And I overheard a guy at the bar, and he was quite drunk. And he was like, have you ever been to Montreal? Let me tell you, it is a great place to riot. Fact. I thought he was going to be like, it's a great place to visit,
Starting point is 00:45:37 great place to play hockey, but he was really hoping for the riots to kick in. They didn't riot. Or they did. They did a little bit. Only when they won. They didn't riot. Or they did. They did a little bit. Only when they won. They didn't riot when they lose. Those Frenchies, right? We riot when we lose.
Starting point is 00:45:54 But we didn't riot this year. We've only really rioted once. That one time. It seems like there's a lot of elements in perfect... It's like a recipe like you really have to follow the directions to get a good riot yeah bubbling right helps if it's really hot like
Starting point is 00:46:11 summer of sam yeah sure oh like people are kind of already crazy on edge yeah yeah uh john leguizamo if he's there it makes it all the more tense yeah i also saw that movie with my mom i mean i see a lot of inappropriate sex scene movies. Oh, you were saying during the break that you were watching True Blood,
Starting point is 00:46:29 all the sex scenes with your mom. With my mom. Oh, really? Have you, did we ever talk about this, Dave? Have you ever watched a movie where maybe you didn't know
Starting point is 00:46:36 there was a sex scene upcoming with your parents and then all of a sudden you're like, whoa! I think when I was a kid I went to go see, we may have talked about this because was see no evil hear no evil
Starting point is 00:46:49 with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder and one of them is blind and one of them is deaf and he's blind and there's a shower scene and I just remember my dad covering my eyes but like kind of jokingly.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Like, oh, with the two fingers mostly open. And also maybe there was a sex scene in the movie The Tall Guy with Jeff Goldblum. We talked about that last time I was here because I love Jeff Goldblum. There's a lot of, you bring out sex scenes in me. How awkward. There's a Hallmark card for that. Graham, you? Parents having sex.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Yeah, no. Yeah, no, there has been many occasions of that. But now I'm struggling to remember an exact movie. But I know that it's happened. And my mom will always say something like, oh, well, this is inappropriate. She's always the first to kind of break the barrier on it. Yeah, she's the inappropriate barrier. Well, this is not.
Starting point is 00:47:55 She's the Jackie Robinson of inappropriate. She just wants you to know that she knows what's happening. This is intercourse. This is what that is. That's what makes my mom so on the ball. She knows when to call it. She knows when to fold them. She can identify intercourse on sex.
Starting point is 00:48:14 There's a lot in my family of, like my aunt or my mom will rent a movie to watch with my grandma. And they will discover that there's a sex scene in it. Oh, that was too much for grandma. This is a weird thing that I was chatting with my brother about, about renting movies specifically for grandparents. Yeah, it's tough. Well, it is tough. And my grandfather had a method that I admire
Starting point is 00:48:43 and I think I'll probably employ later in my life when I don't care what people think about me. But if we rented a movie and he didn't like it, he would just get up like he was going to go to the bathroom and then he would just never come back. And we would look out the window and he'd be washing his car. So he would just
Starting point is 00:49:00 abandon ship. Although the movie that he couldn't get enough of, like this is like a guy like watch mostly war movies and historical things. But the one like modern day movie as it was while he was still alive was kindergarten cop. Couldn't get enough. I love that movie. He thought it was hysterical.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Are you okay? A lot of old people are just relieved to find out it's not a tumor. Yeah, it's true. It's not. How many, like, what do you call a doctor that mostly deals in senior citizens? Geriatrics.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Or palliative care. But how many times do you think that they heard it's not a tumor during the popularity? Because I think it was really popular with the senior set. But how many times do you think that they heard It's Not a Tuber during the popularity? Because I think it was really popular with the senior set. Sure. It was actually really scary. The opening scene in the mall where they left.
Starting point is 00:49:53 We're talking about a group of people who survived the Depression. What do you think is a movie that's out now that a senior would really get, could really get into? Up? Dodgeball. Up, sure, yeah. Dodgeball? Up? Dodgeball. Up, sure, yeah. Dodgeball? My parents hated Up.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Really? Yeah. Why? I don't know. I guess because it was a cartoon. And they hate love? Yeah. It's very manipulative what it does with your emotions.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Oh, it's huge. Yeah, you're crying, you're laughing. It's great. My mom's hard to tell. She'll watch. She likes her movies. And one time when I was...
Starting point is 00:50:28 She was visiting me and I had to go to work. So I was at the movie store and I came home and she's like, Oh, I just watched a movie. I just went through your movies and I picked one. It was pretty intense. It was the Requiem for Dreams. Oh, God. Speaking of inappropriate movies. I was like, Oh, you watched the whole thing, eh? It was the Requiem for Three. Speaking of inappropriate movies.
Starting point is 00:50:49 I was like, oh, you watched the whole thing, hey? She's like, yeah, it was pretty sad. I want to talk to you about drugs. Are you turning tricks for drugs? Dave, do you have an overheard? I do, but I was just wondering. Oh, sorry. I used to buy DVDs all the time. I haven't bought a DVD in years.
Starting point is 00:51:11 What was the last DVD you bought? For me, it was probably Borat. And then I realized, okay, I watched the extra features. Sure. And I never watched it again. No, that's true. I get a hundred and some odd channels. I don't really need to
Starting point is 00:51:26 watch a DVD whenever I want. What was the last DVD I bought? I think the last DVD I bought was an indie movie that I didn't think I would ever get a chance to see again. It wasn't super indie.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Or Diane Wiest's boobs in it. It was mostly about her boobs. It was parenthood. It was a movie called Brick. Oh, okay. You'll see that again. Yeah, because I own it. I didn't like it so much.
Starting point is 00:51:53 It's a modern classic. No, you didn't like it? It was too stylized for me. It just wasn't my cup of tea. Oh, yeah. I got it. Yeah, you got it. You understand.
Starting point is 00:52:04 But yeah. It's kind of macho actually yeah no well they like exactly i would recommend that for a guy totally no it's it's yeah i don't think it i i don't think it would be very popular with the lady set actually now that i think of it not not that it wouldn't be unless they're trying to play their working boyfriend. Working at Video Matica, do you get to do Lauren's pics? Yes. Oh. What's a recent one? There was one comedy,
Starting point is 00:52:31 independent comedy from L.A. that I really liked. They make movies in L.A. now? Yeah, I know. Well, it's sunny in that way. It was called
Starting point is 00:52:38 I'm Through with White Girls. Oh, really? It was about a brother who decides that he is done dating white girls. And then he meets this half white woman from Canada and she just blows his mind.
Starting point is 00:52:52 He's just like, she's like driving him crazy. He didn't say anything about half white girls. Just he's done with white girls. Yeah, I'm half done with this girl. Okay, I love it. Dave, do you have an over? Well, mine's kind of an overseen And it's just sort of a ridiculous commercial
Starting point is 00:53:07 And it is On Saturday mornings On the What channel is it? KVOS TV 12 Now channel 30 for some reason Oh, yeah That slogan's gonna hurt them now
Starting point is 00:53:24 Yeah, they show a There's an ad that they have for a, some kind of church, but it's like a cool church. Oh, yeah. The rock and roll. Yeah, yeah. And they'll have clips, like you don't hear the preacher talking, but he's like, he's wearing jeans. Sure.

Starting point is 00:55:16 And it burnt. And it lit on fire, and it burnt to nothing. And there's just a crazy giant metal frame now in front of the church where the Touchdown Jesus used to be. And it's, if, if any place gets struck by lightning, you would think the last place,
Starting point is 00:55:31 like there's only significance to a church being hit by lightning or a meteorological station or something like that. Possibly Greece. Mount Olympus. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Totally.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Well, churches nowadays are getting taller and taller. And actually, a lot of cell phone companies... It's not a fact. It's a fact. Because a lot of cell phone companies will give them money to hide cell phone towers in the steeple. The Church of My Youth has one of those. Yeah.

Taking the youth out of christ uh i do it at a rollercade sure um at uh calloway my uh my overheard is not an over it's an overseen and uh this was this was uh i've been taking the train a lot in the last few days during kind of rush hour times. And it's the Canada Line train. It goes right downtown. But one of the stops, you kind of come up and it connects to a mall. It connects to like a mall that's got like the bay and all sorts of stuff in it.
Starting point is 00:56:39 So there's – if you go – if you walk up the steep escalator, you go to the left. There's a mall. If you go to the right, that's – You go up to the street. Yeah. And there's a London Drugstore. And if you go straight, you go up to the street. And so I was walking and there was just so much hustle and bustle.
Starting point is 00:56:58 My new thing is if I buy a ticket on one end, I give it away to somebody on the other end. That's illegal. I know, but I love it. Because people are super happy. You're catching them off guard. They're always super appreciative. They're always surprised by it. And it happened because somebody gave me a ticket, and I was like, I'm going to give this ticket to somebody else.
Starting point is 00:57:18 And then I just started doing that every day. And so I was walking around looking for somebody who looked like they were going for their wallet or their purse to pay for a ticket and i was kind of scanning people's faces in the crowd as i was walking up the platform and then i caught this one guy's face that looked so crazy and shifty had one eyebrow way in the air and he looked like Pinocchio. Like the rock. No, he looked like he was pulling off something. And he looked at me, and we really did lock gazes,
Starting point is 00:57:52 and he looked at me like there was this moment of understanding, like we are both trying to pull something off. And then I looked just down from his face, and he was wearing a red jumpsuit from Turkey wearing like a red jumpsuit from Turkey like a soccer jump well like a zipper jacket sure and he had this huge gut
Starting point is 00:58:13 that was all boxes that he had just shoplifted from the mall and then when I look back up at his face and he winked at me like got it which is a crazy thing I feel like I made some kind of deep criminal connection with this guy with just my eyes you're both doing random acts of kindness he was stealing medicines for an orphanage
Starting point is 00:58:39 but it was crazy because he had this huge gut but it was all squares like it was crazy because he had this huge gut, but it was all squares. Like it was all tiny squares of watches. He swallowed up too much Lego. Anyways, it was just a great... Too much Lego. As if there's an appropriate amount of Lego to swallow. Zero is the appropriate amount.

Starting point is 01:04:45 Hey, Dave and Graham and possible guests. This is William from Chicago, and I just had it overheard here at work. I work at a box office at a live musical theater, and an elderly couple came up to buy tickets from me, and they won specific seats, and I was able to get them for them, and they won specific seats, and I was able to get them for them, and they were shocked. They were, seriously, seriously, you can get a fit-throw center? And I was like, yeah, whatever, no big deal.
Starting point is 01:05:14 And they were so thrilled, and I was entering their information, and she turns to her husband and goes, oh, Harold, such good news today. First the news from the doctor, and now this. Oh, my God. Congratulations. It's boring. That's the news they got. For the old couple.
Starting point is 01:05:37 They're having a baby. Oh, wow. Yeah, so that's like somebody who just has no sense of the matters of scale. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she finds a nickel. I'm telling you, things are shaping up. She gets a parking spot with ten minutes left on the meter. Yeah, first, cancer remission.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Then some tickets. Then we got to see Joseph in the amazing Technicolor dream coat. We got to see Joseph in the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. You know, on like last weekend or the weekend before, Godspell was on TV, followed by Joseph in the Technicolor Dreamcoat. Was that what was following it? It was a day of musicals. I remember watching it. The Wiz preceded it.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Oh, I like the Wiz. But then I remember as a kid listening, like my parents would, that would be something we would listen to, would be the soundtracks of these things. Really not appropriate for kids is watching it now. Both Godspell and Technicolor Dreamcoat are pretty controversial. They're about the Bible, but like a hip young take on it. The ones I saw when I was a kid, we saw The King and I.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Okay, yeah. With Rudolf Nureyev. Oh, yeah. Nureyev. The famous... Ballerino. Yeah, very famous. And he...
Starting point is 01:06:54 My only memory of that is the ladies in front of us getting mad every time I unwrapped a candy and smacked it in my lips. Yeah. And then we saw Les Miserables. Oh, so great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Oh, I love it. It's, oh, oh, boy. But this. What a, what a hoot. There's this song in Jesus Christ Superstar. Yeah. And that's one of the one, the one where the guy's taunting Jesus. And like, I was like a six or seven year old kid.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Who, Pontius Pilate? Yeah. And he's, and he's going like, you, you, you know, you can't do this.
Starting point is 01:07:29 And then one of the, the lines is like, come on, you King of the Jews. And as I was like a kid, I would just be like walking around the house. Calling people that? You King of the Jews.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Like, I didn't know what that, I just, cause in the song, it sounds like it's a term that he's putting down. Sure. Jesus with. So I just thought it was like, you a term that he's putting down Jesus with. So I just thought it was like, you know, you toady, king of the Jews.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Because that's how it's sung in the song. The first song in Jesus Christ Superstar is, I don't know, it's a really good, it's a rocker. Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right. And I don't remember the title of it, but I know exactly the song. Heaven on Their Minds. That's the name of it. It's sung by Judas, and it's a real good one. And there's a video of David Cross, the comedian, singing it, and he's being backed up by Canadian rock band Sloan.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Really great. No way, really. Oh, man. You know what? There's a lot of good stuff on the internet. Yeah, you guys should check it out. Like this next call. Yeah. It's all over of good stuff on the internet. Yeah, you guys should check it out. Like this next call. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:25 It's all over. It's blowing up YouTube. Hey, Dave and Graham. This is Brian from Philadelphia calling in an overheard. Two weeks ago, my grandmother died in Florida. So my wife and I traveled down there. And while we were there, my mother just really wanted to see Sex and the City 2. So we decided
Starting point is 01:08:46 to go and we're sitting in the theater. Film is starting. As I'm sure you know, the opening of the film has sweeping shots of Manhattan. Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind is playing
Starting point is 01:09:01 over this montage of footage. And behind us, a gentleman whispers to the lady with him, That's Manhattan. That's Manhattan? Yeah. That's the city from the title. That's, it's funny.
Starting point is 01:09:26 That's another movie that's two and a half hours long. Yeah. Really? They need to put a cap on this shit. Yeah. What do you think? What do you think is the maximum time for a movie? I think for a comedy, you want to do like 90 minutes.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Yeah. A good 90 minutes. If it's an epic, go two hours. But you've got to really like... But. Yeah. 90 minutes. If it's an epic go two hours. But you've got to really like they shouldn't have made either movie in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:09:51 But that's the weird thing because he said you know first of all condolences. Yeah. That's really sad. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:57 But I'm glad your mother found a way to cope. Well that's the interesting because he was like all she wanted to do was watch that movie. How can you say no to your mom? Especially around funeral situations
Starting point is 01:10:07 For that time of year Yeah that time of year My favorite time of year But you know that's a weird thing Because the last Not the last funeral I went to But the second to last funeral I went to I had a real hankering
Starting point is 01:10:23 For just seeing a movie Like something funny Checking out You kind of just want to, I had a real hankering for just seeing a movie, like something funny. Checking out. You kind of just want to check out for a couple hours. Yeah, but the only thing in the theater was Yumi and Dupree. And so I was like, I guess that's going to be the film. And now I can't, if it comes on TV, I have to watch the entire,
Starting point is 01:10:38 there's like some weird thing in my head where I'm like, I got to watch all of Yumi and Dupree. You're still in mourning. Yeah, that's right. While I still wear this black band. It's filthy. Don't wring your arm. Like a soccer player.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Yeah. And finally... Hey, Dave and Graham. This is Travis from Texas. I am calling with an overheard, but I wanted to also tell you guys that Rodney Carrington is the country singer who sings funny songs, but seriously. And my overheard is, I was at Walmart earlier today going through the self-checkout,
Starting point is 01:11:18 and I hear these two boys, probably one 12 and the other five, and the 12-year-old says, hey, look, Michael Jackson, pointing to a magazine, walks over and says, wait, Gary Coleman, and then walks over to his mom and says, mom, who's Gary Coleman? And she says, oh, he was a guy on TV. And he says, what show? And she says, oh, he was a guy on TV. And he says, what show? And she says, TMZ. Oh, that's terrible.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Gary Coleman, famous from TMZ. He's from that show, TMZ. Oh, man. That made me sad, because Gary Coleman never got a fair shake. Didn't he? No, not really. Not really. He did for a while.
Starting point is 01:12:09 I watched a movie of the week that was done about the... What was the show he was on? Different Strokes. Different Strokes. And it was a movie of the week, which they don't really make these movies of the week. Was it on E? Possibly. Yeah.

So whatever company made the Mork & Mindy one also made this one. And I watched it, and apparently he wanted to be an actor as much as any kid wants to be an actor or an astronaut or uh sure a cowboy yeah um and and so he got into it and then um he had serious like kidney problems that's why he's
Starting point is 01:12:53 it was the size he was aware of and then uh like he got super sick on the show and uh like his parents forced him back to work even though he was like dying of this kidney thing and he was on dialysis and stuff they were the ones that was like you like you got to go back to work because they had spent you made a commitment well they spent all his money uh up to that point and they realized like to get any kind of fortune back they would he would have to go back to work and he was like what are you talking about yeah and his dad's name unfortunately was Millis and so it didn't sound right when he said it.

Starting point is 01:16:20 So this stunt casting idea, because somebody wrote in, I believe it was Ellington, who's a longtime listener, wrote an email saying, yeah, he missed the stunt casting segment.

Starting point is 01:17:45 we've already done it we've already tackled Star Trek we know we did The Next Generation oh that's right but I think we all have
Starting point is 01:17:52 we have enough knowledge between the three of us of the Ninja Turtles who are we gonna suit up in the whatever you call that the capture outfit
Starting point is 01:18:01 to do the turtles your splinter who's gonna play a live action or perhaps a capture shredder? April O'Neil, my favorite. And April O'Neil. Okay, okay.

Okay, so let's start with the least of the characters. Probably your Bebop and Rocksteady. I don't know anything about the characters your Bebop and Rocksteady. I don't know anything about the characters of Bebop and Rocksteady.
Starting point is 01:18:48 Okay, think about it. I don't remember those guys. They were foot soldiers. No, they weren't. One was a warthog and one was a rhinoceros. Okay. We could cut them out. We could just do the turtle casting.

Starting point is 01:21:41 Yeah, he was. Michelangelo was more. He was my favorite turtle. And he was more the lovable goof. Yeah, that's right. Whereas Raphael was more like... He's more like the one that would not call you back.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Yeah, but he was a wisecracker, right? Yeah, but he's kind of a dink. He thinks he's cool. He was a little disattached. Yeah. Right? Disenfranchised, maybe? Ethan Hawke!
Starting point is 01:22:02 I just watched the reality fight. Like a younger version of Ethan Hawke. If we can find, who kind of embodies that same, like Robert Pattinson, but maybe not. I don't like that guy. Maybe not that, he's a little fae. Like a Michael Cera. But Michael Cera, he's a little bit too. Wimpy.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Yeah, we need somebody who it looks like they might be. And Ethan Hawke's a good pick, but he's in all. I'm not Wimpy. Yeah, we need somebody who it looks like they might be... And Ethan Hawke's a good pick, but he's an old... You're not thinking of him. Yeah, yeah. Josh Hartnett? What about the guy from Jonah Hex?

There's a lot of good brooding out there. We do. We need somebody who's funny. He was wisecracking in Third Rock. A Jack Black? Or is that too leaning towards the Michelangelo arena?
Starting point is 01:23:13 You know what? And let's learn from the Avengers movie. In an ensemble, you don't want to have too many stars. You want to have people that can work together. Because Jack Black is going to outshine Andrew WK who's not really well versed in film. It's going to be his first major film role. Everyone probably will outshine the non-actors.
Starting point is 01:23:30 We just need somebody who's like who's good at delivering kind of quick one-liners. Pauly Short. Like David Spade would have been perfect In his prime He's a grown up now
