Hi, he's Dave Shumka.
And he's Graham Clark.
And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself.
Woo!
Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 260 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark.
With me as always is, I would say probably, Macklemore's number one fan, Mr. Dave Shumka.
I'm not familiar with who that is.
Are you going to pop some tags?
Is that a thing?
Is that one of his poems?
I don't know who he is.
I don't know who he is.
And our guest today, returning guest, a woman who was part of the Vancouver scene for a while.
Now she's flown the coop, as they say in the comedy world.
And the chicken world.
That's right.
And now makes her home in Toronto. But she's back in town doing the clubs this weekend.
Yes.
And we're very glad to have her back, Miss Michelle Shaughnessy.
Thank you.
It's very happy to be here.
It is very.
It is very happy.
It's very happy here and it's happy to be here.
Welcome back.
This beer is going to my head.
Yeah.
Well, it's fine.
That's where it's supposed to go.
As long as it doesn't go to your hips.
Am I right, ladies?
Whoa.
Whoa.
Let's get to know us.
This is fucking awesome.
Get to know us.
Michelle Shaughnessy.
Graham Clark.
What's shaking?
Not much.
No, that's not true.
That's not true.
You're a blonde now.
I'm a blonde now.
After a lifelong of being brunette.
Lifelong of being dark, dark brunette.
I've never gone blonde before.
And? And I love it. Graham, you've been a blonde dark, dark brunette. I've never gone blonde before. And?
And I love it.
Graham, you've been a blonde your whole life.
Yeah, and I've always had more fun.
You seem like a guy who enjoys fun.
Oh, absolutely.
I'm having a bit too much fun.
Like, I don't know what that means.
What does that mean?
Like you're all tuckered out in the middle of the day and need a nap kind of fun?
No, more like out till 6 a.m. kind of fun.
But it's because it's like, you know, every day I wake up and I'm like, I'm blonde.
I look good.
I'm like, I want to go out and show it off.
So I've just been doing that for like two weeks since I got it done.
You don't automatically look good if you're blonde.
No, but I look good blonde.
Right.
Okay.
Thank you.
You sure do.
Good word, Jake.
Yeah.
But like there's plenty of ugly blondes
oh sure
Ed Begley Jr.

I mean you know
he's Hollywood
I'm not a good judge
yeah who's an ugly blonde
oh the guy who played
Dauber on Coach
oh no
Bill Fagerberg
no I love Dauber
oh okay
sorry
yeah I had a crush on him
for sure
let's see
Jerry Van Dyke
from Coach
no no no
he's a very handsome
who would be
an ugly blonde?
Oh, brother.
Craig T. Nelson.
Not blonde.
No, you're right.
Shelley Long?
Shelley Long
was good looking.
Yeah, she was.
Oh, man.
This is tough stuff.
Hulk Hogan?
Oh, he's very handsome.
He's very handsome.
He's very handsome.
Okay.
Oh, Fabio.
What?
Fabio's famously
good looking.
I think he's horrific looking. What? You're wrong about that. Yeah. Okay. Oh, Fabio. What? Fabio's famously good looking. I think he's horrific looking.
What?
You're wrong about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
50 million
Elvis fans can't be wrong.
I make bad decisions.
Daniel Craig.
Nope.
No.
Oh, he's a blonde Bond.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh.
Do blonde Bonds have more fun?
But are they all attractive?
I guess all blondes are attractive.
Bond.
Blonde.
Bond.
Yeah.
I can't think of a...
When he goes to have his tips frosted, he asks to be shaken, not stirred.
That doesn't work.
He just got me an ugly blonde.
This is going to bother me for the rest of my life.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
For the rest of your life?
Well, you know what's going to happen.
I'm going to go downtown after this and take pictures of blondes that may or may not be ugly,
and I'm going to get punched in the face or something.
What about Zachary Ty Bryan?
No.
Who's the ugliest of the...
No, he wasn't.
The youngest one was the ugliest.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Oh, yeah.
The kids from Home Improvement
we're talking about?
Yeah.
And the best looking was, of course,
Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
JT.
Absolutely.
JT Square.
How cool do you think he's due for a comeback?
Obviously.
What do you think,
what kind of comeback vehicle
would suit a Jonathan Taylor Thomas?
A TV show, for sure.
Like some sort of like One Tree Hill type show or something like that.
Do you think he'd come back in a drama?
I think so.
Is that what One Tree Hill is?
I, I, I, sure.
Yeah.
I like that that's part of your pitch and you're like, wait, I'm not sure what One Tree Hill is.
Guys, it's kind of like One Tree Hill if you knew what that was.
As in I won't watch it either.
I think maybe a reality show,
following him around.
No, he's not going to do a reality show.
What's he not going to do?
Is he sitting back on his money from that?
He probably does have a lot of money.
He did those Christmas movies,
like the I'll Be Home for Christmas.
Oh, there was, wait,
there was more than one of those?
I'm pretty sure there was two.
Okay.
He might not have done the second one.
I couldn't have named one of them.
He was in Man of the House with Chevy Chase.
He was in Man of the House with Chevy Chase.
I was almost his body double.
What?
Shut up, Dave.
Dave, tell us the story, please.
One day at my school, they said, hey, all the shortest kids, come over here.
We're looking to cast the body double for Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
So don't cut your hair, anyone, until summer.
So you were like Milhouse in that episode, the radioactive man.
But I ended up not being his body double because I was too tall.
Oh, that's sad.
He's pint-sized.
You should have cut your feet off.
Don't cut your hair, but cut your feet off if you think you're too tall.
We're going to need you to trim your feet a little.
Yeah, there's tricks to make a person look taller, but I don't think there are any tricks to making you look shorter.
Yeah, they use apple boxes to make you taller.
Yeah, or like you could wear lifts or you could like do your hair up taller.
High heels.
Like Macklemore?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Who is this? he's one of the
ugliest blondes
no don't
you shut your mouth
okay
you shut your mouth
don't you shut your mouth
don't you shut your mouth
um
which of the uh
oh is one of the
Brady sisters
from the Brady Bunch
was the
was one of them
the ugly one
she was
the problem is
famous people are good looking
exactly
okay you're right
there's gotta be
oh oh Paula Deen.
I don't think of her as blonde.
I'm going to get hate mail now.
That's what's going to happen.
From her.
Written in butter.
I was just going to say that.
Is she blonde?
I think of her as a white-haired silver fox.
Yeah, a real...
What's the name?
Slathery?
A guy from...
Yeah, John Slathery.
Yeah.
But she's more Butter Slathery.
Butter Slathery.
I love it.
Oh, what about Tan Mom?
Yeah.
Okay, we found a good one.
She looks like she has a lot of fun.
A lot of fun.
But I'm not...
I don't remember her well enough.
But also, if she's tanning that much,
she was a completely different
Pantone.
Like if she's tanning that much, there's a good chance that she's not naturally blonde.
Yeah, but we didn't say, I'm not natural blonde.
And you're still having a lot of fun.
Yeah.
So much.
It's not about fun.
It's about looks.
Oh, right.
Whoops.
I forgot what we were talking about.
I think I look better.
Most people have said that.
I've had maybe two people that say they preferred the brunette.
And so you're never going back?
That's not true.
I'm not going back right now.
Okay.
Yeah.
I just wanted to change it up a little, you know?
Sure.
I wanted to feel pretty.
And so you just recently, you transplanted from Vancouver to Toronto.
You transplanted your hair?
Yeah.
You got a hair transplant.
I did.
I did.
What if that was the only way of doing it?
Yeah.
She got it from Dauber.
Dauber gave up his celebrity loss.
It was a reality show.
You were on a reality show, weren't you?
I don't want to talk about that.
I think we talked about that last time.
All right.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
We might have, but you can find it in my stand-up.
Yeah.
I talk about it there.
Speaking of stand-up, you're going to the Winnipeg Comedy Festival.
I am going to the Winnipeg Comedy Festival.
I'm really excited.
What's that about?
What's your excitement about?
I'm doing the Mars and Venus Gala, which I think is perfect for me because I have a lot of like...
Because you've been to space. Yeah – Because you've been to space.
Yeah.
Because I've been to space.
Because you're a big fan of that Paul McCartney album.
Well, because Venus rhymes with penis and I'm familiar with those.
I think that was the obvious choice.
Obvi.
So I'm doing that and then I'm doing like the dark and stormy show.
Yeah, and I'm excited.
Like I've never done anything –
I'm trying to think of something Mars-
I've never done any festivals for television before.
So it's a new experience for me
that I feel really honored to be included
Have you ever been to Winnipeg?
No
Yeah, it's cold
It's windy
I've heard
That covers it, right?
Cold and windy
But they don't have any ugly people
Yeah, all good looking people
I don't want to go there again
I love going to small towns where I'm like, I'm a tan.
What, without, you know, putting yourself in harm's way, could you think of what the ugliest town you've ever played in?
Oh, of course I could.
Like people wise or the surroundings?
I mean, you know, six, one half the other. I was thinking people-wise.
I think I might get in trouble
if I say that, though.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Like, don't say it.
We'll disguise your voice.
Yeah, I can totally
think of it right now.
Well, you should just say it.
Well, we'll disguise your voice.
All I know,
on an unrelated note,
I did a gig in Langley recently.
Okay. She is, for the record. Sorry about did a gig in Langley recently. Okay.
She is, for the record.
Sorry about that.
Really?
Langley?
No good?
Have you been to Langley?
Langley is a suburb of British Columbia, for the listener not from around here.
Yeah.
Langley.
It's kind of, they referred to it as the boonies yesterday on Real Housewives of Vancouver.
Langley would be super hot if it was the 90s. I just think that they're like a little
behind.
I saw a lot of Zach Morris hair and Kelly
Kapowski like...
Zach Morris is one
of the ugly blondes. You shut your face.
You shut your face.
I think you've had enough wine.
I don't like the sass talk. Don't you talk about my
Zach Morris.
So Langley, but what was the city you were thinking of?
There was one that obviously jumped to the front of your mind.
I can't say it.
I'll get in trouble.
Is it in Ontario?
No.
Is it in Alberta?
No.
Is it in Saskatchewan?
No.
Is it in BC?
No.
Is it in, well, you've never been to Manitoba, so it's not Manitoba.
Is it Manitoba?
No.
Is it in the Maritimes?
Yes.
Oh.
Okay.
Yeah.
Fish face. Yeah. A lot of people breeding? Yes. Oh. Okay, yeah, fish face.
Yeah.
A lot of people breeding with fish.
Yeah, a lot of...
So instead of saying the actual city, let's just assume that you think everyone from the Maritimes is...
No, no, don't say that.
I love the Maritimes.
You just don't want to look at their face.
Okay, not all places, just this one place.
They were ugly.
Yeah, well, like
just at the show or everywhere you looked?
Everywhere I looked. Wow. Yeah, I know.
I felt really bad for the mayor of the town.
The mayor was there?
No, because then people would be like, you're the mayor of
Ugly Town. That's what I would say if I met him.
Do you think that the mayor of Ugly Town benefits
from being the ugliest guy in town or he's the best looking guy in town?
That's why everybody voted for him.
We should Google the mayor of this town and see what he looks like.
Yeah.
That should probably happen at some point.
I'm surprised that you didn't march down to City Hall to see for yourself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was winter.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, I don't march in the winter.
Fair enough.
I'm Canadian.
We should do a thing.
Well, not us because it seems like it's going to require effort.
But they should do a thing where there's like a reality show search for Canada's ugliest town.
Oh, yeah.
Or even North America.
I would let America in.
And then, like, see what is so ugly about them.
Like, when you visit, do they give you an ugly key to the city?
Do they put a ring of garlic around your neck
I don't know that people
if you went into
people's towns
and were like
alright we're setting up
cameras to find
I think people
would be offended
I don't think
you tell them right away
hey
you don't tell them
right away
you say that this is
the search for the
most beautiful town
yeah yeah yeah
it's like that
that reality show
they had where they
were trying to find
the worst singer but they
WB superstar I was just about to bring that show up. That was the best show ever
Do you think that was real wait? What was the thing? It was a reality show where they
The the viewers were in on the joke
But the contestants were not and it was it was like it was the exact same setup as American Idol.
But all the crazies that come to American Idol and are terrible singers.
They were like, you're amazing.
Yeah, they let them through.
And anyone who could actually sing, they would freak out and be like, you're the worst.
Like, who told you you were good?
But then the girl that won, I felt so bad for her because she won and sang.
And then they told her in front of all these people on TV and like, that it was a joke and that she was actually terrible.
Eventually, I think they kind of were onto it when they were like, hey, all these other people are terrible singers.
I feel like that.
I totally feel like that because I think that they were acting so much in that last episode.
Like, they were, like, crawling on the floor, you know.
But they didn't bring it back for another season.
And the judges, do you remember?
They didn't?
No.
That does not surprise anybody. Do you remember the judges? Oh, it was for another season. And the judges, do you remember? They didn't? No. That does not surprise anybody.
Do you remember the judges?
Was one of them, oh, oh, Vitamin C?
Yes, and Tone Loke, wasn't it?
Oh, right, maybe.
The funky cold Medina guy.
And I forget who the other guy was.
Vitamin C from the graduation song?
Yes, from only the graduation song.
She had a song before that, I think.
I don't know.
Drink your OJ every day.
Yeah, and I think she was in,
she was on like,
she was in the faculty or something.
She was only in school related things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But what's the,
what is the point of that show
except to make one person
feel really bad about themselves?
That's the point.
Yeah, that's the point.
Yeah, that's it i
don't i think you're trying to look too deep here you're right man that's something i try to do a
lot i'm a real deep thinker that way you're very deep um so uh canada's ugliest city covered um
you're going to winnipeg first time ever first time being on television? No, no, no. First time doing a festival. No, I've done that.
I gotta go.
You were on WB Superstar.
Listen, guys.
You lost.
Listen, do you want me to sing for you?
As we walk this... Everybody sings that song.
Except one guy that sings Funky Cole Medina.
Funky Cole Medina.
Oh, you know the words.
If I was going to go on a show like that, I would sing that.
What's that song?
Like, wow.
One that doesn't have any words.
That would be my audition song.
Oh, yeah.
Yellow.
Yeah.
The theme from Ferris Bueller.
Yeah.
Yellow were like the taco of our generation.
Yeah, that's true.
What was taco?
Putting on the wrist? Yeah. That, that's true. What was taco? Putting on the Ritz?
Yeah.
That was just his recipe for an outrageous taco.
Put it on a Ritz.
Can we, do you guys, is there tacos here?
Here and now?
In Canada?
No, like, am I, is this?
Oh, is this the prelude to where we bring out the tacos?
Yeah, is that, am I supposed to be?
We shoehorned, we're so glad you said yellow so I could say taco.
Yeah.
We're glad to welcome our new sponsor, Pace Picante.
When's this going to be on?
Ten minutes from now.
We're on a late time delay in case
in case you make fun
of any ugly cities
so can I swear
is that
can I swear
yeah
absolutely
by the moon
in the stars
in the sun
I swear
boys to men
like the shine
no it's all for one
oh sorry
the one with the one white guy
oh what
I don't remember that
what
I just remember
yeah it was all for one white guy.
The edge of Cinderella, you hoped it would come true.
That one day your Prince Charming would come rescue you.
Do you remember now?
Nope.
WB Superstar.
Give me another verse.
You like romantic movies and you never will forget the way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet.
And then the big baritone comes in.
He's like, and all the time that you've been waiting, you don't have to wait no more.
Were kids watching Romeo and Juliet?
I can love you like that.
Is that the same song?
I can't remember.
Yeah, it is.
Wait, was that the same song?
Yeah, it was.
Oh, wow. I just went into the chorus. Okay. All right. All right. I can love you like that. But that? I can't remember. Yeah, it is. Wait, was that the same song? Yeah, it was. Oh, wow.
I just went into the chorus.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
I Can Love You Like That, but that wasn't, I swear, was it?
No.
You went for the popular one, okay?
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's okay.
I'm so sorry.
Those were both, forget the name of it.
All for one.
All for one.
Thank you.
Whew.
Man, I did not know, and to this day do not know, my mixed singing group.
There was one white guy.
Yeah, but that makes it mixed.
Yeah, you're right.
Was there a Chinese guy?
No, it was just white.
No, it was black and white.
You don't believe that races should mix in singing groups.
Yeah, well, not in singing groups.
I don't think Chinese people, I've never seen it.
I'm trying to think of a boy band that has an Asian person.
Oh, yeah. Oh.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, probably.
Ugly blonde people.
Yeah.
And boy bands. A boy band with Chinese people.
These are all, these would be great things to just Google.
I mean, there are Chinese boy bands that have nothing but Chinese.
Yeah, there are, but they're all like Chinese.
Yeah, they're all like Chinese.
But I'm saying like, you know, like imagine if Boyz II Men had like a.
I think it would that a little something so so like there would be a guy who because they all had personalities right
yeah there was the bad boy and the less bad boy and the nice boy i don't know would the guy just
be the chinese boy probably oh he'd'd be, oh, he'd be.
Don't say it.
Don't say whatever you're thinking.
He'd be the accountant.
Oh, God.
That's worse than what I thought you were going to say.
Really?
What did you think I was going to say?
The smart one.
That's the same thing.
That's not worse.
It's not like I didn't say anything bad.
Well, you didn't say anything good.
No, I didn't.
I could never be an accountant. How come? didn't say anything good. No, I didn't. I could never be an accountant.
How come?
Because you're not Chinese.
Oh, man.
I think we learned that from your reality show appearance.
Yeah.
I hate you all.
Canada's worst singer.
Canada's worst accountant.
I could be all of the amount.
Just call it Canada's worst.
Oh, see, that would be.
That would be a good show.
Because there's a show. Canada's Worst Driver. Canada's Worst Driver. Is that an American a good show. Because there's a show.
Canada's Worst Driver.
Canada's Worst Driver.
Is that an American show as well?
Yeah, it was an American show, and then they brought it to Canada.
Well, no, I think it was a British show.
I don't think they ever had it in the States.
There's also Canada's Worst Handyman.
Yes, there is.
Handyman.
That show is actually a lot of fun to watch.
Oh, really?
We should do Canada's Worst and then just find a bunch of, like,
shitty people.
These shows do very well.
Canada's Worst Rapist.
I don't think anybody
wants to see the worst
or the best.
The worst would be
okay because you would
never get to do it.
Well.
Agreed and disagreed.
Even then, I think
the spirit of the show
is in the wrong place.
I feel like we're so different, you guys.
Yeah, that's true.
I hate to give you notes and be the executive harshing your artistic vibe.
But this comes all the way from the top.
Yeah.
Canada's worst rapist is a no-go.
Yeah, it's a non-starter.
Fine, I'll spend another three years of my life on another show writing and perfecting.
So how are things in Toronto?
I haven't been.
This is me changing gears.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I ruined things.
I think Ken has the worst gear change.
I haven't been there much, but things are good.
I love my roommate.
He's hilarious and fun. So it's really, it's nice to live with another comic. I haven't done that ever but things are good I love my roommate he's hilarious and fun
so it's really
it's nice to live
with another comic
I haven't done that
ever
you live with Garfield?
I do
I live with Garfield
I live with all of the Peanuts gang
oh man
that would be so loud
because they always
do those dance numbers
I know
and I'm just like
Linus take a shower
oh wait
Linus isn't the one
that needs to
wait who's the stinky one?
Pigpen
I was gonna say his name was Dirtbag
Dirtbag?
Well in Michelle's
defense she's choking to death
Are you okay?
I'm totally fine
I quit smoking and now all this stuff is like
coming up
How long ago did you quit smoking?
Oh it's been like a day.
That's not true.
Has it only been a day?
Okay, well.
Why is your body reacting so harshly?
I decided to stop three days ago, but the girl I'm staying with smokes, and I've had two of hers every night.
So I went from a pack a day to two cigarettes a day, and now today is my first day with none.
And how do you feel?
Yeah, but what time did you have the two cigarettes?
Every night.
Okay, my last cigarette was at 6 o'clock in the morning.
But I was really drunk.
You were really drunk at 6 o'clock in the morning?
Yes.
I told you, we were all hanging out.
Yeah, yeah.
So today is the first...
First day of the rest of your life.
Yeah, but are you going of your life. Yeah.
But are you going to start smoking?
Since 4.
Okay, well.
Since 4 p.m.
So you've been smoke-free for three hours.
Yes.
Thank you, guys.
And you're coughing up, though.
I was a pack-a-day smoker. So there's stuff waiting to just get out of my was like, I was a pack-a-day smoker.
So there's stuff, like, waiting to just get out of my body.
When were you a pack-a-day smoker?
For, like, the past five years.
I was a pack-a-day wolf hunter. Really?
I've been smoking for, I was smoking for 16 years.
You've been smoking for 16 years?
A pack a day?
No, a pack a day for about the past five years.
That's too many packs.
Yeah, that's amazing.
I didn't, I had no idea.
You must be rich.
I knew that you smoked, but I didn't know.
No, I'm not rich.
I just make really bad decisions.
I hear you're an accountant.
You're one of Canada's best.
What's the old joke?
Isn't there an old joke about a guy who like tells a person who smokes like, oh, if you didn't smoke, you'd have enough money for a Ferrari.
And then the smoker's like, where's your fucking Ferrari?
That's really funny.
I'm going to smoke again.
Thank you.
No, no, no. That makes me. Thank you. No, no, no.
No, that makes me feel really good.
No, no, no, no, no.
Are you using like a gum?
No, I don't believe in any of that.
I don't believe in nicotine replacement therapy.
How about hypnotism?
No, I don't ever want to get hypnotized.
Why not?
What do you think will happen?
I don't know, but I don't want to know.
I have a lot of secrets up here.
Oh, really? I'm pointing at my head right now.
Oh, you're afraid the hypnotist will be like,
tell me the name of that ugly town.
Now that you're under.
What do you think, like,
if, so you're afraid
that if somebody hypnotizes you, you'll just start
telling secrets?
I don't know.
But I also – I knew someone who got hypnotized to quit smoking.
Four of them did it.
Four girls that I worked with.
I didn't do it.
And then one girl was, like, in a dark depression for, like, three weeks, and she couldn't figure out why. And, like, her doctor was, like, sometimes that's a side effect of being hypnotized.
Like, you just – like, and she was just – she walked around, like, so depressed for three weeks.
Like, she had never suffered from depression in her life.
Um, and for some reason that just, I don't know why.
How did she come out of it?
Did somebody just snap?
And she was like, Oh, I feel better.
No, I think she just, I think it just took a bit of time.
Like, but she just felt weird.
She didn't feel like herself for three weeks.
And she like went to the doctors and all this stuff.
And they were like suffering from severe depression.
And she's like, but I've never had this problem before.
Cause like hypnotism is like a real thing, right?
Well, allegedly.
No, it is.
But like people, like it's not like a thing like.
If you don't want to get put under, it's not going to happen.
Oh, yeah.
You can resist it.
Yeah.
Okay.
But like.
You have to be in the right.
You have to want it.
You have to be in the right frame of mind.
You have to be really relaxed.
Are we talking about Canada's worst rapist again? Sorry. You have to be in the right frame of mind. You have to be really relaxed. Are we talking about Canada's Worst Rapist again?
Sorry.
You better be.
We mixed that idea right out of the
gates. Stop pitching it.
Stop trying to make it happen.
Canada's Worst
Hypnotist, however, would be a fantastic
That would be really funny. Or if it was
along the WB
superstar model where they took people who thought they were really good hypnotists.
And like the people would play along and pretend to be hypnotized.
That would be great.
Dude, that would be really funny.
And you'd be hypnotizing Tone Loke.
You never wrote funky comatose.
Yeah, that would be really funny.
You'd love to do the wild thing.
Hella funny.
Yeah, like, well, what's... funny hella funny yeah like well what uh because i remember when i was a kid at the stampede they
used to have like uh celebrity not celebrity uh famous yeah celebrity cowboy it was like a
like stage hypnotist okay yeah and uh they have stage hypnotist and they have like adult stage
hypnotist this was i think he had
an after dark show that he did but this was like the day daytime or after like you're gonna act
like a chicken yeah yeah yeah but he brought up a girl that i knew from like uh like an acting class
that i did when i was like that seems too coincidental that like he would just at random pick an actress person.
Right, right, right.
You know what I mean?
So like, is that also a part of it?
You were also there
and could have easily got picked
and she would have been like,
ah, that's an actor person.
Yeah.
So think about that.
Well, I saw what I am
and I'm getting very sleepy.
Why don't you Facebook her and ask her?
We're not Facebook friends.
I think this was pre-Facebook.
This was when I was a kid. I don't even think we had phones yet. Was there dinosaurs? We're not Facebook friends. I think this was pre-Facebook. This was when I was a kid.
I don't even think we had phones yet.
Was there dinosaurs?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
We didn't have Facebook.
We had Dino Book.
I saw one.
Because we didn't have faces?
It'd be more likely it was called Face Dino.
Yeah.
They didn't even have books when they had dinosaurs.
Dino Book.
Those are the alarms. Can't read books. They didn't even have books with dinosaurs. Dino book. Because they're little arms.
Can't read books.
I saw an X-rated hypnotist.
And he brought up like 20 people on stage.
Who wants to be hypnotized?
And people went up on stage.
And he went into his little thing.
And he said, if you're still awake at the end of this, let me know.
And you can just walk off stage and then and so like they're like half the people ended up not
getting hypnotized because it doesn't work on everyone oh did you get hypnotized no okay i
remember opening for a hypnotist in ottawa yes and he's like tony lee yeah probably probably he
does all like the all the clubs did you have you
ever worked with him yeah did you like where he made the he's like i need five minutes of silence
or whatever in order to like get the yeah he has to get like yes you have to like he has to set the
room so like you spend half an hour like warming up the room and then he's like i need silence
yeah it doesn't make any sense but but people really do it like i talked to people after, and they were legitimately shocked at the stuff that they've done.
Because when they snap out of it, they feel like only a minute's gone by.
Why do people volunteer for that?
Because they don't know that they won't remember it.
Oh, they think like, oh, this is going to be so crazy.
This will be a fun thing.
And he can tell.
I saw one guy that was faking it, and he was like, off.
Like, you're not on there.
Yeah, he used a dog command.
Off.
Is it like something like in CSI where you could hypnotize somebody and then tell them to murder somebody and then unhypnotize them?
Absolutely.
Can that happen?
Well, that's what I'm asking you.
You're the expert.
Do you guys have any books on hypnosis?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave's got a whole collection.
Yeah.
Time-life collection.
So you could just make somebody do bad things for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dave's got a whole collection. Yeah. Time-life collection. So you could just make somebody do bad things for you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or good things.
Puppet stuff.
Yeah, get you to do your chores for you.
There's got to be a CSI about that.
I think there is.
I honestly think I feel like that's true.
Las Vegas is full of these dirtbag hypnotists.
Is there any hypnotist in-
Dude, there is an episode of that.
There totally is an episode like that.
It might not be CSI but it's something
it might have been
the new Miami Vice
because it seems like
a really shitty
storyline
it will be on for
four episodes
or something
no it's still on
what
yes it is
are you thinking
of the new Hawaii Five-0
that's what I said
was there even
a new Miami Vice
there was a movie
I feel like there might have been a new Miami Vice TV show.
Okay, well, I meant the Hawaii Five-Up.
But why are there hypnotists in Hawaii?
This doesn't make any sense.
I think I'm wrong.
Maybe I should go.
No, you're doing great.
The Toronto beer is getting...
I'm drinking a beer from Toronto.
Yeah.
Because I saw it and he was like, which one do you want?
And I was like, Toronto.
Not that I didn't love Vancouver.
I don't want it to sound like them.
No, absolutely.
We're glad to have you back.
Thanks.
Now, so you're just getting back to the quitting smoking.
You're just quitting.
Cold turkey.
You didn't read a book.
No, I did read a book, but I've read the book a million times.
Oh, is it that book?
That book, yeah.
That everyone says works?
Yeah, it does work, but every time I've started smoking again has been when I've been drinking.
Like, I can have a few drinks and be fine, but last night I got to that point where I was like, give me a smoke.
What is that point?
18 shots?
Okay, here's the thing about me and alcohol.
Go ahead.
If I drink beer, three beers, and I'm shman.
If I drink vodka, I could drink, like, 15 or 20 and still be fine.
So I had, like, four or five beers last night.
And I was like,
and then we went to my friend's house with,
I told you,
our friend Simon came with us.
Yeah.
And then we were drinking Sailor Jerry's and Coke.
What is a Sailor Jerry's?
Spice it up.
That's a lot of sugar.
I was really hung over today.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was really hung over today.
Why do you think you can drink so much vodka?
Do you have Russian roots?
Can you pronounce vodka for us again? Vodka. Vodka. Vodka. I thought she hungover. Why do you think you can drink so much vodka? Do you have Russian roots? Can you pronounce vodka for us again?
Vodka.
Vodka.
Vodka.
I thought she said vodka.
Vodka.
I can drink as much vodka as I want.
That's Fozzie the drunk.
But I also think it's because when I drink vodka, I drink vodka and water.
Yeah.
So I think I'm essentially hydrating myself as I'm drinking as a hostages.
That's smart.
So I think that might be why.
Yeah.
Which sucks because it's more expensive. But I'm a blonde girl. Worth it. So I'm drinking as a hostages. So I think that might be why. Which sucks because it's more
expensive. But I'm
a blonde girl so I'm not going to pay for drinks.
Yeah, that's right.
So you've read this book.
Can you sum up the smoking
book for me? Not really. It's really hard.
It's just...
It's called The Easy Way
to Stop Smoking by Alan Carr.
And it's like you read it.
You don't quit smoking until you're done the book.
And as you're reading it, it just talks.
Are you stuck on the last page?
But as you're reading it, like it just talks more about like the brainwashing that you've encountered like by being a smoker, right?
It's really hard to explain, honestly.
I would just like I can email you a copy.
I could probably look it up.
No, Alan Carr, he's not even a, he's not a doctor or anything.
He's just a guy who quits.
No, but he has, his clinics, he has clinics all over England and the States.
I think he's passed away now.
He's very old.
He was very old.
Oh, does the book have the word fag in it a lot?
No.
Oh, okay.
But the British version might.
Okay.
Because he changed it to the canadian version
okay yeah so he um but his clinics had like an over like a 92 success rate or something like that
oh yeah well you don't look like somebody who smoked a pack a day for five years i know right
yeah but here's the thing i never had wrinkles before until like recently and that's what made
me stop those are those aren't wrinkles those are laugh lines. Yeah, they're wrinkles.
No, no.
Well, I mean,
they're technically wrinkles
but you can't avoid them.
I got like injections
to get rid of them
and it only lasted like
You got injections
to get rid of them?
Of course.
Of what?
Of this.
Of Juvederm.
And it's like Botox
but more expensive
but it didn't like
I don't know.
It's like I just didn't
take to it.
Like it didn't work.
Like it only worked
for like a month
and then it just went away.
What is Juvederm?
Yeah. It's cosmetic I just didn't take to it. Like, it didn't work. Like, it only worked for like a month and then it just went away. What is Juvederm? Yeah.
It's cosmetic filler.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, so I'm going to go.
We talked all about filler on the last episode.
Did you?
With the Real Housewives and the vampire facelift.
Oh, yeah.
Have you heard of the vampire facelift?
No.
That's where they take blood out of your arm and put it into your face.
Oh, my God.
I'm going to do it.
Oh, my God.
But I am going back to get these done. Like here, I'm
getting Botox in my head before I wear the peg.
You're making them happen with your fingers right now.
You can't even see them.
Well, now you can see them, now that you're making a crazy
face.
Does my brain hold if I do this?
Is that a big
part of your act now, is making crazy
faces? Are you the new Jim Carrey?
I'm a French comic
they do that
they make faces
yeah they do
they do
and that's why
my French teacher
in high school
told me that
a lot of French people
don't get wrinkles
as
like
as
you know
like they get them
when they're older
because they use
so much facial expressions
and stuff
that they stretch their skin
more than any other language
like to speak French
what?
really?
yeah
I want to believe
watch a French person talk
like they use their mouth a lot
like they're stretching
that's true
plus all that kissing
oh yeah
they invented that stuff
and steamies
yeah
also the amount
of hot dogs they eat
okay
Dave what's going on with you? oh you know I've been hanging out Also the amount of hot dogs they eat.
Dave, what's going on with you?
Oh, you know.
I've been hanging out with some completely pointless animals for the last few days.
That's pretty cool.
We're taking care of a friend's guinea pig at the moment.
Are you excited about that? Where is it?
We had to hide it away because it is like a dander factory
and graham is so allergic i'm very allergic oh it's probably the size of my chihuahua probably
i could have brought a sweater but it is it is just the like i mean i got nothing against it
i just feel bad for it because it you know it lives in a cage it It goes to the bathroom its entire weight
in a day. You can't just
let it run around, eh? No, because it
goes to the bathroom its entire weight.
It's constantly going
to the bathroom. And that's the
animal that they choose to keep in an enclosed
space. And it has
no interaction with the outside
world. That's really sad.
But it has no idea.
Do guinea pigs exist in some sort of wild form?
Are they like squirrels?
Are they?
They are.
Actually, they are.
I believe Abby told me this.
There's an except like apparently Catholics on Friday aren't allowed to eat meat.
Okay.
They can only eat fish.
Yeah.
Or guinea pigs.
No.
What?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What?
I've never heard.
I was raised Catholic and I've never heard that.
Well, because they don't have a...
This is like, if I'm wrong, I feel like the biggest...
And we're allowed to eat meat on Fridays now.
The Pope changed that in the 80s, I think.
Oh, cool.
70s or 80s or something like that.
That's why he was so beloved.
Sure.
That's true.
But yeah, because that's what they had there.
Oh, they?
Well, no, because it was all based on the new world.
Like the Pope wanted to have more Catholic places in the world.
Right.
And so he's like, oh, yeah, by the way, we want to support all this fish that's coming from North America.
So you all have to eat fish on Fridays.
And South America, guinea pigs.
Yeah, because of your abundance of guinea pigs.
Have you guys seen a hairless guinea pig?
Probably.
They're the cutest little things ever.
No, you would need a sweater for a hairless guinea pig.
Well, I mean, no.
I guess I have seen hairless ones that have been cooked.
Oh, yeah. Stop it. You have not. Well, I mean, I've seen cooked ones. Really? You've seen cooked guinea pig. Well, I mean, no. I guess I have seen hairless ones that have been cooked. Oh, yeah.
Stop it.
You have not.
Well, I mean, I've seen cooked ones.
Really?
You've seen cooked guinea pigs?
Yeah.
Where?
Internet.
Why are you Googling cooked guinea pigs?
I'm not Googling them.
It just...
Why?
Was it like an advertisement that just popped up?
No.
Yeah.
Like, what sites are you on?
Yeah.
Well, you know how Facebook will have...
I was Googling cooked perils, and then I heard they get a big...
Well, I'm not technically Googling them if I have a Google alert for them.
But, yeah, I've seen cooked ones on a stick.
Oh, really?
Well, everything's kind of cool on a stick.
Yeah, no, that's true.
So, gross.
Yeah, okay, so that's an animal.
I haven't really been interacting much with it.
Except to try different sauces on it to see what goes best.
Do you like this?
I feel like I'm forgiven for my TV show idea now.
All right.
You feel that way?
I think people are going to be more – I think you're going to get some mail about eating guinea pigs.
Sure.
Yeah, sure.
But maybe somebody – what if somebody sends you guys guinea pigs, like dehydrated guinea pigs to eat?
Would you try it?
Like me, like in a Pringles tube or something?
Yes.
Would we try it?
It's got to exist.
No.
I wouldn't try it.
I wouldn't try it.
But I'm a vegetarian.
Yeah.
I don't think you're a vegetarian.
That's right.
I don't like mailed meat.
Well, but what if you were part of a Jerky of the Month Club?
Oh, man.
You would love that.
What if it was Guinea Jerky?
Okay.
Okay. Now you're talking my language. if you were part of a jerky of the month club oh man you what if it was guinea jerky okay okay
you're now you're talking my language uh and the other animal that i i've been dealing with is uh
the other day i was uh my wife abby and i were uh we went over to my sister's house to babysit her
kids and they have not a useless how dare you uh and they have goldfish.
And one of them, the goldfish, like my sister said to me, oh, yeah, and if that goldfish is lying there, it's not D-E-A-D.
Because apparently it will lie on this leaf at the top of its fishbowl.
Oh, right.
Okay.
So if it's lying on the leaf, it's not D-E-A-D.
It's just resting.
Okay.
And then I thought she was, I thought the fish was dead.
And like, she was like, she was just trying to get me to lie to the kid.
But no, apparently the goldfish, when they bought it, they were like, oh yeah, you should get a plant for it.
Because the fish store person was like, get a plant for it.
They really like plants.
They like to rub up against them and rest against them and stuff.
And so there's a- I didn't know that about goldfish.
Me neither.
And I feel bad that all the goldfish have had.
Without a plant?
They didn't have plants.
What did they have?
Castles.
Oh, yeah.
That's fun.
Well, yeah.
They feel like kings.
They like to feel like a king.
But the- So this fish was resting on a leaf.
And, you know, my niece hated that.
My niece was like, oh, just swim around, do something.
So she would tap the glass.
And I'm like, yeah, just, I don't.
Maybe just let the fish sleep
till your mom and dad get home.
But then they fed it
and it was swimming around
and eating it and stuff.
And then,
so that was all fine.
And then my...
That was all fine and dandy.
And my sister texted me this morning.
And...
Guess who's D-E-A-D?
Not only that.
Oh, gosh.
This is going to be the best story I've ever heard.
She texted me and said, the fish committed suicide last night.
Did he jump out of the pool?
We literally found her on the floor.
She must have thrown herself out of the tank.
Herself, by the way.
Yeah, yeah.
That's very.
That's so sad.
That is sad.
That's sad.
I get it, fish. We all get sad. We all have sad days. That's so sad. That is sad. That's sad. I get it, fish.
We all get sad.
We all have sad days.
Yeah, everybody hurts.
And I asked if my niece was devastated and she said, no, she was pretty upset, but has already forgotten about it.
Yeah, that's kids really bounce back from this type of thing.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
They're resilient.
But that's like godfather stuff, like to a kid, like waking up and having your fish on the floor.
Yeah, that's true.
Oh, wait.
Your sister doesn't have any debts, does she?
She does.
She does a lot to...
Oh, my God.
Sounds like the work of the codfather.
We did it.
That's how you got this executive meeting in the first place.
That was really funny.
Yeah.
I love puns.
I get so excited about them.
Yeah.
I'm, like, tingly now.
Did you ever have fish?
I hated them, but...
No, I didn't.
My brother had...
What is the type of fish?
I want to say it's called the samurai fighting fish.
From Naked Gun.
Yeah.
It's a real, like, you can't have it in the same tank as anything else, especially another fighting fish.
Right.
Because they will just immediately start.
They'll eat each other, right?
Yeah, they start tearing each other's fins off.
They can't even be in the same ocean.
So are you allergic to cats, too?
Yeah.
So you're allergic to cats, dogs,
guinea pigs, hamsters, anything.
Dandruff.
Yeah, dandruff.
Okay.
I could probably be around a lizard,
but then, I mean,
am I going to be that guy?
Dude, you can't have a lizard with your beard.
You would just be that guy.
Oh, what if I had a bearded dragon?
One of those things.
What, a bearded dragon?
Yeah.
Like Gandalf?
No way.
What about one of those?
That's a wizard, sorry.
Sometimes they got wizards and dragons was he a wizard yeah he was a wizard you guys excited for this new
oz movie um well it's a fine excitement um are you aware of it yeah i'm aware of it ditto i i
i'm aware of it and i saw uh you know there's like the televisions that are like the higher frame rate and they make everything look like a soap opera.
Yeah.
A movie like Oz on one of those things.
It looks so fucking crazy, like crazy bad.
Wait, have you seen it?
No, I saw a preview on one of those at this restaurant.
And it just looks like everybody's acting in front of a green screen.
Which is not...
It's what they are doing. I'm probably not going to see it.
Why not? I don't know.
What would it take for me to change your mind?
A free ticket. It takes
a...
Fair enough.
I just don't watch a lot of
movies and I should.
What was the last movie you saw? Flight, and it was amazing.
Amazing.
How much of the movie is the plane upside down?
Because that seems to be the big selling point.
It's only the first 15 minutes.
Well, but I thought it was most of the movie.
No, not at all, and it's amazing.
Honestly, I didn't want to see it, and I've seen it four times now.
What?
It blew my mind, you guys.
So you don't see movies, but you saw Flight?
Here's what happens.
Wait, how many times in the theater?
I've also, I didn't.
Okay.
I.
You borrowed it.
You borrowed it.
You got a screener.
You're in the pilot movie guild.
Exactly.
So I did.
They sent it to me for Oscar consideration.
That's what it said at the bottom of the screen on the computer.
So I, okay, I find movies that I like and I just watch them over and over again.
Like I've seen all the Rockies like about 30,
30 to 40 times.
Have you seen Rocky and Bullwinkle starring Robert De Niro?
Um,
no,
I haven't.
Okay.
Well,
you haven't seen all the Rockies.
Have you seen a mask?
I did.
I have seen mask.
I saw that when I was a kid and like the drive in.
How many times have you seen it?
Once. Oh, so that's like a thumbs down for me. Yeah. You can't download it. I was a kid in like the drive-in how many times have you seen it? once
that was a long time
oh so that's like
a thumbs down for me
yeah you can't download
I was a child
you can't watch that like
but in your world
we're talking about Mask
not the Mask right?
like it's a guy
but the guy
with like the
elephant Titus guy
Rocky Dennis
oh right
okay
now I get the reference
I was like
why are you bringing this out
that's weird
and the Mighty Ducks 2 was my favorite movie when I was a kid and I watched it a hundred times how many times did you see it? a hundred bringing this out that's weird um and i the mighty ducks 2 was my
favorite movie when i was a kid and i watched it a hundred times okay so that's the high end of the
scale mighty ducks 2 100 views so by that scale flight is quite bad because you only see but i
just saw it okay so you're gonna see it more times obviously have you seen it uh no have you seen it
no it's amazing i loved it. I love it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But see, if you don't watch more movies, how will you, you might be missing out on a new thing.
I know.
So I'm going to try.
That's one of my goals is to try to watch more, like make an effort.
It's because I have ADD.
Like I find it really hard to like sit there.
Like a movie has to like get me right in the beginning or it'll be halfway through and
I'll be like, I don't know what's going on.
I'm just thinking about my looks in my head.
So you're just looking at your reflection on the screen of the computer?
Dude, I do that all the time.
As soon as I got here, I was like, I need to use your mirror.
It's been like 20 minutes.
Like, I'm crazy, Graham.
You know that.
You know I'm crazy.
But yeah, I know you're loco.
I'm insane.
I'm insane.
And remember?
No, I'm thinking.
I figured it out.
I think sex makes me pretty. So I should just stick more to that.
Isn't that true?
Hi.
Dave just held up an iPhone thing so Michelle could see.
Yeah, you really are.
Like, almost instantly.
I'm not taking pictures or anything.
You don't have to.
I'm posing for you guys.
You're welcome.
We could.
Anyway.
Sorry, sex makes you prettier?
That's what I heard.
Well, it hasn't made me uglier.
Is that why blondes are so good looking?
Hey-o.
No, I'm just joking.
That was a shameless plug on my comedy.
Oh, wait, that sounded dirty.
You're disgusting.
No, no, but what do you mean that's a plug on your comedy?
Because that's like, I thought it was a funny thing to say.
Yeah.
Oh, but I thought you were shamelessly plugging like have sex with Michelle.
No.
Do you guys want to?
I'm good.
We're just, we're glad that you're here in the capacity of a podcast guest.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, I get it.
Yeah.
So this wasn't a guise to.
We'll see.
Yeah, no.
So there's no take your top off portion of this podcast.
We'll see how it goes.
No, we did away with that. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So there's no take your top off portion of this podcast. We'll see how it goes. No, we did away with that.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Let's just play it by ear.
I wouldn't mind a boyfriend if anybody's out there looking for love.
Okay.
Okay.
What likes and dislikes in the boyfriend column?
You know what?
Likes?
I really, likes, you must have a bank account.
That's my new, that's my new bare minimum. Not a big bank account? No, have a bank account. That's my new bare minimum.
Not a big bank account?
No, just a bank account.
That's my new bare minimum.
So you could have dated 15-year-old me?
Okay, must have a bank account.
That's my new bare minimum.
Must have a bank account.
Wow, that's a really...
I mean, you know, as bare minimums go, it's like, it says a lot.
Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah.
Like that's, I'm not cashing checks for nobody.
Was that a problem in past relationships?
You were cashing checks?
It's a problem in one past relationship.
All right.
A long relationship.
So must have bank account.
Did you meet someone at a payday loan place?
Must have bank account.
Must have bank account. Must have bank account.
Not live with their parents.
Okay.
Up 15-year-old you.
You're done.
You're done.
But 18-year-old me.
I don't need somebody
that can support me,
but I need somebody
who is supporting themselves
at bare minimum.
Okay.
Because I don't want to be
a sugar mama.
So far,
you're just looking for
what we would call

But is there any other deal breakers in the search?
Super religious is a deal breaker.
Okay, yeah.
I don't mind if you have faith and you have religion, but I'm not going to go to church with you or synagogue or whatever.
So it can't be a weatherman who's like, and God's making it rain or God's crying again.
No, but I was like, I can go to Judaism if I had to.
Oh, sure.
It just seems like something like celebrities would do.
It's a fun thing to do at a wedding, like for a wedding.
For a wedding.
Exactly.
And then you can like stomp on plates and stuff, I think.
No, you stomp on a glass.
Or is that Greek?
Stomp on plates.
There's no religion where you stomp on plates.
No, Greek people, oh, they throw plates.
They smash plates.
They say, opah.
It'd be very hard to break a plate if you stomped on it.
You gotta get it.
The edges.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Anyways, any gentlemen out there, you know where to find us.
I'm crazy.
You need to be able to deal with this.
You need to be able to deal with that.
That's a normal thing.
I will be insane always.
That's just who I am, and I'm never going to change.
There you go.
All right.
Yeah.
I have the mentality of like
a 20 year old girl
I think

yeah
okay
yeah

you could
just you know
you're letting it all out there
yeah
I'm a former smoker
I'm an open book
you know that
I always do things
I'm like nobody can know

everybody guess what
like I

Uh, Graham.
Yes.
Let's get to know you.
What's going on with you this week?
What are you looking for?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
I, uh...
What did I...
Um...
Here's a thing that happened.
Not last week, but the week before.
Uh...
Really weird
Because
Everybody who listens to the podcast knows
That I'm a regular bus rider
I ride the bus all the time
And you'll run into people of varying
Eccentricities
On the bus
So you're used to that
I'm not as used to
Encountering that when I take a cab Which so you're used to that I'm not as used to encountering that
when I take a cab
which happened
a couple weeks ago
myself
and past guests
Alicia Tobin
and
who else
there was another person
in the cab
that I can't
know
I want to say
it was past guests
Katie Ellen Humphries
but can't remember who the other person was.
But we got in the cab and we were having a conversation about whatever, garbage stuff, just chatting.
And then the cab driver interrupts and starts talking about like the great flood that's gonna happen oh yeah yeah
it starts just and uh you know in very broken english and so at first i was like oh he's just
uh trying to contribute to the conversation yeah yeah yeah were you guys talking about the plagues
we were talking about something locusts yeah we were i think we were talking plague adjacent um
weathermen see yeah so we were just talking about whatever you know some comedy gossip i imagine
yeah and then uh do you hear michelle shaughnessy quit smoking yeah yeah i also heard that she's
dating a hypnotist can't wait to hear all these secrets so we were just talking uh
comedy gossip and then this guy yeah you just start well first he starts telling speaking in
like an analogy about how a tree is like life and the seed falls from the tree and goes in the ground
and creates another tree but only if it's in the sun and and uh and i was in the front seat with him.
And so Alicia and the other person just kind of faded into the background
and just left me to talk to this guy.
And what did you say?
Like, oh yeah.
Yeah, it was a lot of that.
You're like, wow.
Yeah, you bet.
True that.
You go, girl.
Yeah, I said a lot of you go, girl.
And then they got out at their uh street and i was still
literally like a bus there were stops yeah and i stayed on for the further and that's when he
started saying like and uh everything must die and i was like not until the end of this camera
not everything not not you and me, hey, buddy?
No, we're in this together.
Yeah, like way down the road is what you're talking about.
Were you sitting in the front?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was no way I was going to get out of the cab and then get in the back.
It was just like, I was like, it's not that far to go.
But he was doing some real, and I got out 15 blocks before my husband walked the rest of the way.
You're like, oh, I'll just get out here.
Yeah, and I realized when I said
I'll get out here, it was at the corner
that it was only a graveyard.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, I'll get out here.
Now he thinks you're the weirdo.
Yeah, he's like, so I was telling this guy
this great story that I read.
I was just trying to tell him about this awesome story about a flood.
Maybe he just saw a tree of life and he was just describing the flood to me.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe it was broken English because he couldn't quite.
She's checking herself on her phone.
I felt like I had sun in my teeth, okay?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Well, that's crazy.
Yeah. Anyways, it was crazy. Yeah, anyways, it was crazy.
And also your cab ride was crazy.
Yeah, so that's what happened to me.
It was really spooky.
Did you stick around in the graveyard?
Yeah, well.
Do some incantations?
Yeah, I felt like I should have just walked into the graveyard and just pretended like, okay, I'm in, you can go now.
You should do that thing where you mime walking down some stairs or take the elevator down into a grave.
Okay, I'm in my house now.
You can go.
Yeah.
Do you ever, have you ever hung out in a graveyard?
Oh, yeah.
Like as a goth teen?
As a goth teen, I hung out in many graveyards.
Just the other day, a friend of the show, Jeanette, Jeanetto,
is in town and I took her on a tour of the graveyard.
Is there anyone famous buried there?
No.
Jim Morrison. Yeah, Jim there? No. Jim Morrison.
Yeah, Jim Morrison.
The Vancouver Jim Morrison.
Yes.
No, there's a cool pile of old headstones that aren't being used anymore.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
So if you're like, I need a thing for my garden.
I could change my name to that guy's name.
Yeah.
Before I die.
Exactly. Save some money on a headstone would be cheaper oh no or just get your friends to start calling you that as a
nickname yeah yeah guys call me ronald from now on um yeah i tried to pick one up really heavy
they're all just like you know just really like dense dense rock you guys it's not uh
It's really dense rock, you guys.
It's not... So if you've got a group of friends and a Friday or a Saturday off...
What are the famous graves in the world?
Isn't Kurt Cobain's pretty famous?
I don't know where he's buried.
Seattle?
Maybe.
Elvis.
Oh yeah, Elvis, absolutely.
In Graceland.
The Jim Morrison one in Paris.
I think that graveyard also has, like, Oscar Wilde and a few other people.
Do you know when the movie Titanic came out, there was, like, girls, like, going to the
grave of, like, someone with the same name?
Oh.
Who was, like, buried around.
Captain Jack Sparrow.
Around Halifax
no I think you're thinking
of the wrong boat
yeah yeah
but yeah
and they put like
they made like shrines
to like this guy
who was like
not really
because they thought
he was like the
real life Leo
that guy didn't
deserve respect
no
he worked
they said he was like
a cook or something
gross
a cook what who could love a cook or something Gross A cook
Who could love a cook?
Wasn't there the guy that
You could love a cook, sure
Just not a funny cook
Not one that's too close to comedy
Yeah, not like a cook that cooks at a comedy club
This guy makes the popcorn
This guy's a really good cook
If you like chicken fingers.
They're called chicken strips.
Yeah.
Sorry, chicken fingers are the exact same thing that you feed to children.
That's right.
Yeah, because kids are stupid.
They don't know chicken fingers.
That's so dumb.
Wasn't the guy that was like the British personality that turns out he was like a super...
Creep?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He had a really famous gravestone.
Who?
They like smashed it.
Who are you talking about?
Jimmy?
I don't know his name.
Why was he a creep?
Oh, he was in sexual abuse charges and stuff.
Oh, God.
After he died, yeah.
After he died?
He was a BBC...
Like, looking at pictures of him.
You're like, how did nobody?
Yeah, this guy was a creep from the get-go.
Yeah, he had like a page boy haircut and smoked cigars.
I can't hear anything anymore.
Oh, really?

Anyways, so this guy, when he died, either it was his estate or something, bought this huge, huge gravestone that had his picture on it. This was before the charges.
This was before the charges.
And then once the charges were made, they went into the graveyard and smashed it.
What was he, though?
He was like a TV presenter.
Yeah, a TV host. Oh, gosh. Yeah. How did all this stuff come out after he died? it what was he though like he was like an and he was like a tv presenter yeah tv host oh gosh

Jimmy, whatever.
Jiminy Glick.

And anyways, if that cab driver is listening, I want to hear the end of that crazy story.
Well, what happened after the part where he said everything must die that's where i said uh oh i know but like you say you want to hear the rest oh sure what else can there
be but uh don't don't drive over here and tell me send it by uh brain message brain waves or a letter

And a girl turned to her friend.
She's like, whatever.
I'm not a hooker.
I'm a model.
Yeah.
I can see how you get hooky.
But she was wearing really high heels that were clear.
So I'm going to go that she was a sex model or something.
There's no way.
You're not going to see those on Cosmo.
Well, you know, maybe if there's like a hooker chic, right?

Sounds dubious.
I don't know what that word means, but it did sound promising.
I mean, it's got a ton of little dubies in it.
Yeah.
Dave, do you have an overheard?
My overheard is an overseen, and it is a vanity license plate.
Oh, I love it.
I love it already.
It was just like a plain white van, like a uh the kind a workman would have
some kind of tradesman and uh judging by the license plate uh on this van um this guy was a
plumber because his license plate said uh let me spell it for you p-l-u-M-B-A. Plumber.
That's all.
I like it.
Or what if he was, yeah, no, I'm trying to think, like, is there, if he, like, made wine out of plums.
Plumber.
Sorry, how did you spell it?
Plumber.
Like P-L-U-M-B-A?
Yeah.
What if it was plumba?
Like Timon and Plumba.
Is that a theme?
No. Timon and Plumba. Timon and plumba is that a thing no sorry anyway for the last week i've just been saying

Canadian band, Saskatchewanese.
Yeah.
They won the Beyond the Cover of Rolling Stone competition.
Yeah.
And so they've got a new album out, I guess.
And I saw on three separate bus stops, somebody had scratched out sheep and changed the band to the Wiener Dogs.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
That's pretty awesome.
Which for all intents and purposes like that's
a better name of a band it works yeah it's i would listen to wiener dogs yeah one of the best types
of dogs yeah and i think like uh to me the wiener dogs sounds like the type of band that would do
like they might be giants type of songs yeah wacky but still like musically decent and easy to listen
to yeah yeah complex heady stuff yeah yeah math rock
right although the sheepdogs music does sound like something sheepdogs would make it does it does
yeah that's true they're the most southern rock of the dogs darwin d's no okay because i think
his name should be wiener dog okay i'm gonna send you guys a song to listen to maybe you'll play it one day he has a song called
radar detector

Now, this first one comes from Travis.
He sent along a picture to accompany it. I saw this sign hanging in the school where I work.
It seems kind of odd to me.
Like they didn't think this all the way through.
And it is the typical setup of the keep calm and carry on motif that said, keep calm, it's Black History Month.
That's really funny.
Yeah.
That's really funny.
Like, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
That's the problem.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, there's an implied, like, you might freak out.
Yeah, like, there may be panic in the air.
Say what?
So that's... so that's great it's great and you know it's crazy it's not black history month anymore though no uh but you know comes but once a year i know it's it's fleeting yeah and you know
what you get caught up in it it used to be it's now it's more commercial than it used to be it
is more commercial yeah they start playing the music in january yeah i know starbucks has that drink
yeah
just black coffee
not bad yeah i mean it's as inoffensive as you can get.
This next one comes from Stacy W.
By the way, those are the only Christmas things we could come up with.
The music comes early and Starbucks has a drink.
What about the decorations?
Yeah, sure, decorations.
Black History Month decorations.

I think we're fine moving on. Yeah.
Black History Month decorations.

Absolutely.
I think we're fine moving on.
Yeah.
So this is from Stacy W.
A few years ago at Christmas, my sister, who lives in Edmonton, had a baby, so we were all visiting her from out of town.
She was telling us all about her visit to the hospital and the new maternity ward.
She happened to mention the ward name, which is named after a famous Alberta politician and businesswoman. We all laughed
at the ridiculous name, but carried on.
Everyone except my mother, who laughed
uncontrollably for several minutes.
It got to the point where we all had to ask
her what was wrong with her, because it was funny,
but not that funny. When my mom
regained her composure enough to say,
she said, I don't know why they would
ever give it such a descriptive
name. It's unbelievable i mean
calling a maternity ward the lowest hole ward and the actual name of the ward is the lowest
hole ward not the lowest hole wow yeah right yeah pretty great yeah that's really funny especially
that that's really it was the kid talking to the mother yeah that's really funny i love that a lot
actually yeah like mom stop stop thinking this crazy thought.
Yeah, get your head out of the gutter, mother.
Yeah.
Mother.
Lowest hole award.
Pretty great.
Yeah.
It's one of them.
Yeah, well, I mean, unless you got a hole in your foot.
Mm-hmm.
From that time you stepped on a rusty nail.
Yeah.
I thought it was a hole in my bucket.
Oh, sure.
Dear Liza.
Dear Liza's a hole in my bucket oh sure dear dear liza a hole i like to sing yeah yeah it's fun and why not you got a beautiful voice no i don't but thank you
thanks um this uh comes from zach w in sacramento california hello dave gra, an amazingly gorgeous guest. According to the email.
I was driving a bus full of kids to a field trip.
And on the way to the destination, we passed a Taco Bell.
Boy one, wow, it's a Taco Bell.
Boy two, they make the best tacos in the world.
These poor children.
But remember getting excited about things?
Oh, man.
So excited.
Yes.
Well, Canada just got a Target.
We did?
Not even here.
But there's three in Ontario now.
You're from Ontario?
Is there one in Toronto?
I don't know.
Well, Toronto adjacent.
Well, look how excited you're getting about it.
Okay, they were supposed to have one in Peterborough, Ontario, where I'm from.
So they were going to build one.
They had the site all picked.
And then Walmart freaked out because it was supposed to be right down the street from Walmart and bought it out.
And now there's just two Walmarts on the same street.
I'm not even joking.
What a world.
I'm not even joking.
Isn't that ridiculous?
They make the best tacos in the world.
So now there's two Walmarts because they didn't want Target.
Wow.
So now there's two Walmarts because they didn't want Target.
Wow.
Like, we, yeah, like, there's going to be a Nordstrom here in two years, and people are freaking out about how great. What is that?
It's like a department store.
Yeah, it's like a kind of higher end, but not.
Yeah.
It's not Walmart, but it's not like Henry Rosen or anything like that.
Like JCPenney?
Like the Bay, kind of.
It's a bit, yeah, I guess a bit higher scale than those.
But wasn't there supposed to be a Walmart in Vancouver?
People freaked out and like protested or something?
Yeah.
I don't know that it ever.
And there's a Chipotle now in Vancouver.
What is that?
People go nuts for it.
Is that like a family restaurant?
No, it's just a burrito place.
Okay.
Okay.
And is it good?
It's all right.
Yeah. It's just like, it's like the same. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And is it good? It's all right. Yeah.
It's just like, it's like the same.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It used to be owned by McDonald's.
Oh.
What was the other one that opened up?
I remember there was a lot of Fufaro when it first opened up.
Taco Del Mar?
Oh, Chronic Tacos.
Yeah.
Are you talking about Chronic Tacos?
No, no.
I know Chronic Tacos.
Chronic Tacos is the worst.
So is Taco Del Mar.
They're all the worst.
My problem with Chronic Tacos is that they put an advertisement for a waitress and I
applied and it was really just cashier taco maker.
Not cool.
Not cool Chronic Tacos.
Now I want to eat at Chronic Tacos.
You used to be the pinnacle of cool.
Yeah.
I'm not a hooker.
I'm a model.
I'm not a cashier.

I was at an airport very early one morning.
It was really quiet and there was no one around.
And as I walked past a Burger King restaurant, they called out an order number.

My Taco Bell's ready.

and then there was suddenly fast food was really, like, just so exciting.
Do you remember, like, did you ever get, like, Happy Meals when you were a kid and stuff?
It wasn't, like, the most, because I only got them a few times.
Like, it wasn't, we never.
I don't think I ever did.
I think I would just get a hamburger.
Okay.
Because my mom, like, used to show up.
That was the best at lunch when you're about to eat your lunch in school and then your parents show up with, like, a Happy Meal and you're like.
What?
Yeah.
Your parents did that?
Yeah,
one time my dad
bought Happy Meals
for like everybody
in my class.
What?
Wow.
Wow.
But you couldn't do that now.
Was your dad the president?
No,
he was a plumber.
I'm not even joking.
Oh,
really?
But you couldn't,
but people would get mad
at you if you did that now.
They'd be like,
why are you giving
my kids junk?
Whereas back then
they'd be like,
yay,
it's the 80s.
I mean,
90s.
Shits, shits.'s the 80s. I mean, 90s. Shits.
Shits.
The jig's up.
I had cousins.
I had cousins who, like, they were really good students.
And I wasn't a good student. But if they, only if they got straight A's, like, which happens, you could, at maximum,
three times a year. Yeah year on your three report cards.
If they got straight A's, they got a Blizzard.
Wow.
I'd get a Blizzard after every softball game.
Yeah, I'd get a Blizzard just if I wanted a Blizzard.
Oh, you're so spoiled.
Yeah, that was too many Blizzards.
Yeah, well.
You couldn't make them special.
There was no treat.
What about a Treats of Pizza? Oh, my God. I love Treats of Pizzas. Yeah, well. You couldn't make them special. There was nothing. What about a Treats of Pizza?
Oh my god, I love Treats of Pizzas.
Sorry.
Nobody's ever loved Treats of Pizzas.
I love Treats of Pizzas.
They don't even have them anymore.
You're like that kid that was excited about the Pizzas.
They still have them.
They absolutely still have them.
What if you showed up? What if you got back
to Toronto and a weatherman with a Treat to pizza showed up on your doorstep,
but he doesn't have a bank account?
Oh, deal off.
He's got a treat to pizza.
No, no.
And you can have all of it.
No.
And he's got $100 million in bonds.
Yeah.
He doesn't have a bank account.
But he has money.
He has money, right?
He's got no liquid assets.
It's all in bonds. What does that mean? That means that I don't have to pay for everything. he has money. He has money, right? He's got no liquid assets. It's all in bonds.
What does that mean?
That means that I don't have to pay for everything.
I don't really know a lot about...
I don't know anything about bonds.
He's got no cash.
Everything's tied up.
No.
He's all equities.
No commodities.
I'm not falling for the tied up thing ever again.
He's got pig iron.
Last time I fell for that, I was...
That sounds funny.
I'm not falling for the tied up thing ever again.
No, last time I fell for that, it was like four years of hell, okay? Yeah, I fell for it too. I'm not falling for that? That sounds funny. I'm not falling for the tied up thing ever again. No, last time I fell for that, it was like four years of hell, okay?
Yeah, I fall for it too.
I'm not falling for that.
Everything's just tied up right now.
No.
No, it's not.
You have no money.
Shut up.
All right.
So that's deal breaker.
Yeah.
Here is your next phone call.
Hello, Dave, Graham,
and probably pretty cool guest.
My name is Ryan from Edmonton,
and I have an overheard for you.
I was at a Five Guys Burgers and Fries, enjoying a burger and fries.
I guess there are free peanuts there.
That's a thing that they do.
Anyway, there's a woman behind me, and she says,
oh, man, I just love salty nuts.
And then there was a pause for a few seconds, and then she says, oh, man, I just love salty nuts. And then there was a pause for a few seconds.
And then she says, oh, don't take it that way, Grandma.
Yes, get your mind out of the gutter, Grandma.
Yeah.
This is a lot of similar phone calls.
Are they all about food today?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because that one was like the lowest toll maternity ward.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because that one was like the lowest toll.
Lowest toll maternity award.
I thought that he said they had three Peanuts.
Three Nuts?
No, I thought like, you know, like they only had the rights to three of the Peanuts characters.
But like three of the less popular.
Yeah.
Dirtbag.
Linus.
It's Pigpen.
It's not Dirtbag. We established this earlier.
Yeah.
I thought it was Linus.
Stinky Linus. Yeah. Stink thought it was Linus Stinky Linus
Yeah
Stink Linus
He had Stink Linus
Come in the song
Yeah
Have you been to
A Five Guys Burgers?
No I don't even know
What that is
Do we have those here?
We don't have those here
I don't think we have them
In Ontario either
What is a Five Guys
Look I said that like
They're the greatest
They're okay
So there's Five Guys Burgers
And then is there
Three Guys Tires
Or something like that?
Yeah there's Three Guys Tires, and then is there Three Guys Tires or something like that? Yeah, there's Three Guys Tires.
There's Three Wise Men Tires.
Gold, frankincense, and myrrh tires.
Yeah, I don't know what Five Guys...
They serve a burger in a peanut shell.
You've got to crack it open and throw the shell on the floor.
I love salty shells.
They serve them just in tinfoil.
That's their deal.
So what, are you just waiting in line to get your burger, and they're like, here's your
pre-nuts, here's your pre-nuts?
Oh, they're just in stacks all around the place.
Oh, it's like one of those places where the floor is just covered in shells.
I don't really remember.
I love those places.
They have one between here and Seattle, and I remember I went in,
and I remember thinking,
oh, Graham could never go here.
Yeah, that's true. Graham couldn't even be around.
Are you allergic to peanuts?
Very much so.
Yeah, peanuts and cats.
Oh, no.
We can't make out now
because I ate peanuts before I came here.
Oh, darn it.
Well, also, you know, I'm...
Be nice.
What?
I was going to say...
Also, I don't want to make out with you.
I was going to say another nut I was allergic to
but then you misdetermined it
I get Botox
that's not what you said before
you said it was Juvederm
I'm getting it all
you guys have no idea
I have like $3,000 of face work coming up
what?
don't do that
Dr. Oz said that you should start in your 20s.
Dr. Oz is an idiot.
You should start in your 20s because it's called preventative Botox.
And you'll need, by the time you're 45 or 50, you'll need half as much as people who start when they're 45 or 50.
But you don't need any.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't need any.
And Dr. Oz looks like a World of Warcraft character.
Oh, my God.
I love him.
He's so sexy.
What part of him?
The doctor part.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
No, don't do anything to your face.
Yeah, yeah. Leave it alone. Stop it.
Yeah. Well, if Oz the Great
and Powerful tells you to do something. I know it's none of our business,
but stop it. Yeah, stop it.
You're pretty. You don't need to do... Oh, thank you.
That's all I wanted to hear. Yeah.
Took the whole episode. Preventative...
Preventative Botox. Yeah.
That's crazy
he shouldn't have
he should have his
fucking doctor's license
yeah or at least
his TV host license
no
I think that's part of
the requirement of being on TV
is to talk about Botox
I honestly
I don't think there's
anything wrong with it
like I think there's wrong
when people go overboard
or they're spending money
they can't afford on it
or they're like
literally like having surgeries
and stuff
like I would never have a facelift
like I'm not gonna let
anybody cut me open
but it's botulism you're putting botulism in your face yeah but it's
good point good point good point counterpoint yeah this has been point counterpoint
put it in my face
um it makes you sweat less too
well I'm fine with that
some people who have
you're not sweating
they put it in their armpits
yeah that's fine
yeah if it was like
a medical thing
where it's like
doctor I gotta change
my shirt five times a day
but you don't have that
no I don't wear shirts
on my face though
oh well
does your face sweat?
sure
that's not why
you're doing it
no I'm not
but I'm pro it like I think if that's gonna make someone feel better about themselves do it. That's not why you're doing it. No, but I'm pro it. Like, I think
if that's going to make someone feel better about themselves,
do it. Like, it's not expensive. I'm conning it.
Are you? How expensive is it?
Okay, Botox is about
three to four hundred bucks, but
it only lasts about four months. How many
squishes in your face? For me, I'd
probably only need a few, like, not a lot. Like, some of them
we get a ton, but... But, like, what is a few
and what is a ton? I'm not sure. I sure last time i did it i got six injections whoa and then
how long does it take to because it doesn't at first like blow your face like mine didn't like
i don't have sensitive skin or anything like that so mine like the results were instant and i didn't
have swelling or anything like that huh yeah yeah but i ended up getting it for free the first time
that's how I got hooked
yeah like me
in the juice class
because I was in
a doctor's office
I was getting
vein work done
like I had veins
that could have
posed a health problem
too many veins
oh like you had
deep vein thrombosis
yeah they could have
so I just had
vein work done
and the doctor
was supposed to teach
all these new doctors
how to do Botox
or Juvederm sorry
and the girl
that was supposed to
come in and get it
done on her was sick.
And he was like, oh, my God, can you stay and get all this work done?
I was like, obviously.
And then that.
So that's how they get you.
Yeah.
That's how they get you.
They use you as a test model.
Better?
No, I can't hear you.
It's fine.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Want to switch?
No, it's not a big deal.
I'm okay.
If you guys are okay.
Yeah, it's fine oh really yeah want to switch no it's not a big deal i'm okay if you guys are okay yeah it's fine okay oh a good name for a show just about like uh medical uh procedures like that
would be called like botox would be good but it's spelled t-a-l-k-s oh oh yeah oh nailed it perfect Nailed it. Perfect. Thank you. I could be the host.
Okay, good. Oh, wait, what if it's like Bo Jackson?
Oh, what if?
Bo knows.
Like, what if Bo...
It's Bo's did my Bo Jackson.
Bo Jackson.
Bo Bridges.
Oh, it's like the talk, but it's all Bo's.
Yeah, it's all Bo talk.
What's the female Bo?
What's her name?
Bo...
Bo Derek.
Bo Derek. And then Belle Biv DeVoe. No. No, that's her name? Bo Derek.
And then Belle Biv DeVoe.
No, that's not right.
Bo Diddley.
Yeah, that's right.
Bo Brummel.
Was he the original Dandy?
Oh, right.
Hey, Bo Dandy. No, that's not how it goes.
I don't know what I'm doing right now.
Oh, the Bo Deans.
Let's kind of roll that Bo text tech stuff I want people to know that
I want people to be like
that girl is so naturally young and beautiful
so let's just take out all that
we'll not do that
here's your final phone call
hi this is Chris
from Utah calling in with an overheard
I was just
at the grocery store,
and my friend was trying to buy some string cheese
from the self-checkout machine,
and I kept telling him to put it in the bagging area,
even though he already had.
And as we were kind of trying to get that working,
the cash guy turned to us and said,
she's such a bitch.
About the computer?
Yeah, the lady voice telling you.
That was awesome.
I assume it's a lady voice.
It's a lady voice at my local.
I like that the guy was so easily outsmarted by this thing.
You just pick it up and put it back down again,
and then I'm like, thanks.
Or you put a shoe on it. Yeah, but then it charges you for a shoe a shoe's worth of string cheese i don't know
i i'm not smart about it every time i use it really yeah because it's very finicky yeah that's
probably uh that's probably like somebody who designed it has like uh cashier sympathies
and oh man so you would so they wouldn't all lose their jobs immediately,
which should happen.
Yeah.
He's like, I'm going to put actual bugs in it
and all sorts of things.
Like actual bugs in it.
Yeah.
I'm going to put some fleas in it.
Anyways, next time just take it out of the bag area
and put it back in the bag.
Or maybe you're buying string cheese.
Maybe buy something else.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Just buy some cheese.
Yeah.
Just some straight up.
Or just some string.
Oh, yeah.
I had cheese for the first time in four years the other day.
Oh, right.
You loved veganism.
I had brie.
Yeah.
I had brie and cranberry and it was amazing.
Yeah.
And was it like just like waking up from a deep sleep?
It was.
I feel really guilty though, but I loved it.
Well, that's what you feel after you wake up from a deep sleep.
You're like, oh shit, I wasted the whole day.
Oh crap.
Well, welcome.
Are you going to be, are you going to go back to being a vegan?
I've been a vegan for four days.
I might.
I might actually. I might. I might. I might actually.
I might.
Right now I'm not
just because I'm,
yeah,
I got to keep eggs in my diet
because there's already
so much stuff I don't eat.
Yeah.
I'm like,
I'm off all refined carbs
and sugars,
so I need something else.
You got to,
yes,
you do have to eat something.
I will not touch milk.
That grosses me out.
But the cheese thing.
Would you touch milk?
You know what?
What if somebody said
that if you put milk on your face?
I would put it on my face.
Yeah, would you have it injected into your face?
I wouldn't care what the animals have had to do with my looks.
I wouldn't.
Wait, can you get Botox and still be considered a vegan?
Why?
It's not from animals, is it?
Botulism is a type of bacteria.
It's like pig bacteria, isn't it?
Yeah, but it's just like yogurt.
Yogurt's bacteria and you eat that and you're a vegetarian.
Yeah, but I also eat eggs and stuff.
Yeah, you're not a vegan.
Yeah, I'm not a vegan.
I'm not accusing you of anything.
Someone told me when I had a weave,
a human hair weave, that I wasn't a vegan because it was a product from a living creature.
Oh, what?
So you can't even eat a human when you're a vegan?
That's outrageous.
Ridiculous.
Well, I think we're done here. I'm the lady who fell in that wine thing
just can we
can we just
I just want everyone to know
that I am 29

his trollish face that apparently
has been well Botoxed over the years.
Yeah, what else did we talk about today?
Maybe a picture of
an ugly blonde.
Tori Spelling.
She's not... Okay, my roommate
Casey Corbin, very funny comic, he's obsessed
with Tori Spelling. He's going to be so upset when he hears this.
He's definitely going to write you guys.
It's fine to be obsessed with, you know, like I used to be.
She's his celebrity crush.
Yeah, I used to be obsessed with the Boogeyman when I was a kid.
But you didn't have a crush on him.
Well, yeah.

No kids really had crushes on the Boogeyman.

He'd look like modern day Dr. Oz.
Shut up.
I want him so bad.
