Episode Date: July 29, 2013

Ember Konopaki joins us to talk numbers, movie theatres, and Girl Meets World.

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 279 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name's Graham Clark and with me as always is one of the original Boys of Summer, Mr. Dave Shumka. Oh yeah, from the Don Henley song. Yeah.

I can see you. Your brows can't shine in the sun. You got your hair chopped dead bad. I don't know the lyrics of it. I have sunglasses on, baby. I don't know the lyrics of it. Sunglasses on, baby. Who are the boys of summer? Baseball stars.

Oh, right. Right. That's what it's about, right? I don't know if it's about that. But it's not like about a group of boys who would only come around in the summer. Yeah, like flowers that only bloom. They were always boys, like Peter Pan? Yeah, they're perennials or seasonals. I don't know my flowers.

I hope our guest does. A lot of pressure. Yeah, yeah. I hope she knows about succulents. Our guest today, first time ever guest here on the podcast, a very funny comedian. And we're very glad to have her, Miss Ember Konopaki. Did I say it right? Konopaki, yeah.

Konopaki. Did I say it right? Konopaki. Konopaki. Did I say Kono? You said Kono. Damn. I'm sorry. It's not. You're the first person to ever mispronounce my last name.

Harsh. Harsh, dude. Well, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here. Are you really? No, I am. I really like the podcast.

Well, we really like your comedy see you were afraid we weren't gonna do this on air but then we well thank you well dave less so yeah no i'm i agree dave doesn't hate it yeah i'm a i'm a good time gal that's true i'm a good time charlie i uh i like i like what graham likes i like what the boss tells me to look oh let's get to know us. Get to know us. Now, speaking of summer and all this type of stuff, you're like a teacher person. I am a teacher person.

Which is amazing. I have a full teacher person degree. Yeah, like in mathematics. My minor is math, yeah. That's so scary. That's so dumb. Why is that so dumb? That seems like the smartest.

Yeah, but the thing is then people are like, oh, you must be good at math. And I'm like, no. I got the teacher's edition. Calculate this tip on this bill. And I'm like, well, where's my phone? I got to type that in. Oh, is that a thing now? Like the kids now.

No one knows how to calculate. But everyone has a phone now. Oh, is that a thing now? Like the kids now... No one knows how to calculate. But everyone has a phone now. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's so... So does anyone even own a calculator anymore? You don't need to for so long. Because if you turn your iPhone, you get like... You get more letters?

You get sign goes in tan and stuff. You what? Yeah, turn it. You can do trigonometry? What do you mean turn it? Like, you mean turn it to the side? Uh-huh. Yeah.

What? Go into your... Oh, so Katoa. This is so crazy. Oh, boy. You mean go into my calculator. Yeah. Right.

And then turn it to the side. Oh, you get more digits, too. Turn it to layup. Holy shit. This is crazy. 100 trillion. That's how many. That's how many buttons. That's how many digits. Oh, crazy. 100 trillion. That's how many. That's how many buttons.

That's how many digits. Oh, yeah. Into the triple trillion. Well, I feel like a real dot. Yeah, yeah. It never occurred to me. No, me neither. You're learning so much.

Yeah. Could you still calculate tan, do you think? I don't even know what that means, like, necessarily. Well, you need numbers. I need a triangle, right? Yes. You got to lie for a certain hour on the front side, and then you turn over, and then you do 20 minutes both sides. But sunscreen.

Tan is opposite and adjacent? Yeah. What's cos? Opposite and hypotenuse. No, that's sine. Ah, that was going to be my next question. Cos is adjacent and hypotenuse. Adjacent and hypotenuse.

Good job, you guys. Well, I did nothing. Sokotoa. So what do you use that for? Does that help you calculate a tip? Helps you calculate something you need in high school. Well, you're like, oh, how long is this ramp going to be? Oh, yeah, for skateboarding.

If I start this ramp three meters away, how much wood do I need to buy? I try and relate it to my students. I'm like, oh, build a skateboard ramp or a wheelchair ramp. Oh, yeah, very inclusive. Going off jumps. Professor Xavier needs a ramp. Professor Xavier is late to his murder ball game so um but you're like you're good at math uh which is fascinating like i i guess compared

to a lot of fingers am i holding up under 10 um i guess comparatively i'm good at math. Compared to like – You. Yeah. Indeed. That's fun. No, I think that's cool. Like my brother is really good at math.

But I don't understand how a person who's like really good at math's brain works. It's kind of like – OK. This is really going to show how nerdy I am. It's kind of fun sometimes. OK. When you've got like a big equation and you're like working really hard, then you solve it. So like – see, but that's – like what you said there sounds so crazy to me. Like that you can like solve an equation.

It's like what? Like how do you – Don't mess up anywhere. Yeah. No, absolutely. You got to – what do you do? Measure twice, cut once you... Don't mess up. Anywhere. Yeah, no, absolutely. You gotta... What do you do? Measure twice, cut once, I think, is the old math.

Yeah, yeah. Especially for that ramp. Where do you get equations? Who's your equations guy? I find them on chalkboards at universities. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back of the book. Teacher's edition.

I strictly do high school math right now. Like, I'm not doing it recreationally ever. Wait. Do people do math recreationally? I'm going to say probably. Wow. Well, I don't know. Someone's got to.

It's the whole thing. Like, it seems like I don't know. It's the whole thing. Like, it seems like. It's stupid. It's like, it seems like it's like you could say it's stupid because you're really good at it. But everybody, almost everybody's intimidated by math. Yeah, that's a big thing. I can't believe we're talking about that. I absolutely can.

That's a big thing. People get stressed out when they see like word they're like word problems or yeah yeah numbers on a page they're like people like pseudocoup isn't isn't even math and people get intimidated yeah yeah i get pretty freaked out by numbers guys they're just well you're you're not afraid of math and you're not afraid of public speaking and you're not afraid of death so you've conquered three major fears i mean we assume you're not afraid of death based on all your ramp equations i get to live forever because uh nothing can take me down yeah congrats yeah good for you most people are killed by math most people yeah or a lack of understanding well like their

confidence in high school is probably like just a little bit damaged by it yeah and they you know you leave the wrong tip you're financially ruined but those like now the like debit machines they have you just you just say a percentage yeah and it and and it says and then and then i go i assume that's yeah Well, take your word for it. Thanks, computer. Computer that was programmed by the people who were taking my money. The first one's always like 15. But then sometimes you'll get one that's like 18. You're like, no.

Sometimes they go 10, 15, 20. I've seen them go 15 as the minimum. 15, 20, 25. It's going to be 50% soon. 15, 20, 25. It's going to be 50% soon. We're going to be living in a fifth element future where we're doling up 50% on all of our

moon something that comes from the moon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Moon gluten. Yeah. Yeah, because we're going to run out of gluten on Earth. Well, the speed that we're all eating it at these days. But we're eating less.

Yeah, I don't know. The future's going to be real bright. Yeah, got to wear gluten shades. Fifth element. Is there like a big haircut? There's a big haircut. It's like a starring haircut. It's like a group haircut.

Everyone goes in for their monthly group haircut. I'm very confused by the question. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I swear that someone in... Shh, shh, shh. Yeah, okay. Graham. Yes?

In the fifth element, is there a big haircut? I don't know. Like, does somebody have a big haircut? Is that what you mean? Like Chris Tucker with his crazy dude? Yes, that's the one. Okay. Oh, I thought you meant big, like momentous.

I thought you meant like, does everybody go, like what Dave was saying, like get a group haircut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a big haircut. I meant like there's someone in that movie with like a very memorable haircut. Oh, everybody. Yeah. Yeah. That's okay.

That's the future. So I wasn't wrong. Yeah. Leeloo had like a red bob. Yeah. And Bruce Willis was bald yeah very futuristic yeah yeah it's funny how it was certainly uh i mean it was futuristic for the time because in the future from then every movie has bruce willis bald that's true so they were right about that yeah they predicted that future correctly um it's weird that in the

future that there's like balding people like in people's visions of the future because that seems like a thing that by the time flying cars and like you know screens that just come out of nowhere balding also would be well under control or like you like, you know, in a future where there's, like, genetic, like, they've got, like, you know. Yeah, you can Gattaca a baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why can't you Gattaca my widow's peak? Yeah, what purpose does having a balding guy in, like, the perfect engineered society, right? Am I wrong?

No, you're right, you're right. They can't get it to look normal yeah right yeah i mean plugs are gonna look weird in the future still still uh but they're gonna be sentient like have you seen a toupee lately when's the last time you spotted a toupee uh oh it's been like a while like Like, uh, I don't know. I don't know who's wearing them. I sometimes see, I've seen a couple toupees, um, and I've, I've seen a lot of like old guys with jet black hair.

Like. Oh yeah, that's a good look. Like, like they're so vain that they don't even want to have a, like a convincing amount of gray. I'm like, I'm 25. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just like super wrink like, I'm 25. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, just like super wrinkly mason jet black.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like drips of hair dye coming out. I don't mind it. I don't mind it as a look. Yeah, it's like a good... What's your take? I think it's good. I like it.

Why? Thanks. Take a strong position. I like it because good for them. Just. Why? Thanks. Take a strong position. I like it because good for them. Just dyeing their hair. You go, boy. Yeah, you go, boy. Mm-hmm.

We all agree. Go, boy. Old ladies do that too, right? Like dye their hair red, I want to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or purple. Purple, yeah. That's a weird one.

That's not even human. I'm not sure. I always thought that that was like a, like it was a mistake. Like you, you went to go dye your hair a different color, but because you had old hair, it made it purple. Yeah. Old hair. Well, you know what I mean? You didn't, you forgot to upgrade your hair's OS.

Well, no, you know, like, cause like, uh, like if you had like, like white hair, right. It would have like less protein in it or something like that. Something like that. So it wouldn't hold the dye properly. So it turned out purple. I didn't know that it was something that old ladies did on purpose. And I still don't, I'm still not convinced that I understand why. You're a lady.

Do you know any old ladies? No. Oh, that's too bad. Maybe they, I do think it could be a mistake or maybe they're like, I'm in the future now. I didn't think I'd make it this far. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the 21st century. I got to blend in.

That's true. It doesn't explain why it was happening in the 70s. You have to dye your hair for the time you want, not the time you want it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. not the time yeah yeah yeah um so uh aside from being a a teacher an educator a math genius um is it like a beautiful mind when you see numbers like is it like like they all fly into your head and fly out yeah wow i tried to keep that under wraps but yeah i like look at a chalkboard and I'm like, pie. I get it.

Big number. Did I sound convincing there? Yeah. Yeah. As convincing as a young Russell Crowe. So what else? What else is going on? What else is going on? Well, I do some comedy things and I've been busy with those always around Vancouver.

Are you from Vancouver? I'm from – I grew up in Alberta. Oh, yeah. I as well. I grew up in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Ah, now Fort McMurray. You're not familiar. I've heard the name.

You've heard the name. But what does it mean? It's just a crazy town. Whereabouts? Northern. It's home of Crazy Town? Oh, really? Come my lady. I've heard the name. You've heard the name. But what does it mean in turn? It's just a crazy town. Whereabouts? Northern. It's home of Crazy Town. Oh, really? Come my lady.

Come, come my lady. It's northern Alberta, and it's very oil rich. Right. And therefore rich. Right. But very isolated, too. So it's a crazy town. Yeah.

And like a lot of people move from the Maritimes to Fort McMurray. That's where they work on the rigs. And FUBAR, too,itimes to Fort McMurray. That's where they work on the rigs. FUBAR II took place in Fort McMurray. Oh, I haven't seen it. So it's isolated and oil rich. I'm imagining like super rugged, like dirt road terrain, but like people driving Bentleys that are flopping all around these potholes. It's there will be blood meets the Beverly Hills. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm picturing frontier dentists giving you diamond grills. Yeah, I think you got it. Okay. Yeah. Is your family in the oil business? Oh, Lord, no. I grew up in Fort McMurray from the time I was like three till graduated high school. But my dad's a visual artist.

What? Yeah. What does that mean? He gets cheap oil paints. Pulls them right out of the ground. Yeah, exactly. Mostly dark colors. Mostly blacks and browns.

What kind of visual art does he do? He's a printmaker. Okay. That's all I can explain. Oh, no. Oh, man. No further questions. I rest my case.

Okay, so in this crazy Deadwood-esque town. Yeah. He taught at the college visual art. There's a college in Fort McRoy? Yeah. How many people are in it? Three, four? Well, they have trades there, so lots.

Oh, okay. But in the visual art department. Well, somebody's got to design like, hey, you know, signs that say put on mask, poison gas in the air. Put the art department. the arch of purpose. A picture of, you know, draw a picture of a dead canary. So he. Yeah.

Fort McMurray wasn't that crazy when I grew up. Was it like a small town? It was like a small town. Pretty boring, but like not crazy. But then the boom hit and then it was just like. Here comes the boom. It was like a small town. Pretty boring, but not crazy. But then the boom hit, and then it was just like, lots of people there. Lots of people there, but only one movie theater. Oh, really? What movie was it showing?

Desperado? I think the last movie I saw there was X-Men 3. Wow. That's pretty recent. Well, yeah, that is kind of recent. Now, X-Men 3 was the one with... I missed that one. Kelsey Grammer? Yeah.

Yeah. I blocked that out. Yeah, he was the beast. He was the blue guy. Oh, right, yeah. The blue man group? Yeah. Oh, in the blue man group.

I found a blue house with a blue window. Eiffel 65. Yep, absolutely. Kelsey Grammer's in that group yeah yeah um

so uh what happened after the boom after the boom bigger movie theater no just still one movie theater

what yeah that's the problem it boomed so fast that it got oh now everyone just has nowhere to go cinemas in their homes

yeah everyone drives like trucks and I should yeah bentley's bentley's flopping around pink hummers pink hummers what yeah just for bachelorette parties just for funsies i don't know i'm not friends with these people why not well i guess that i do i do have some friends who are still up there. Rich.

They are so rich. Really? Probably. Probably. They're probably making like six figures a year. Wait, is that a lot of figures? That's a lot, right? I mean, it's not as much as my sideways iPhone could. My sideways iPhone laughs at that.

So, why did you get out? You're living in a boom town. I was living in a boom town. I went back for summers in university, and then I was, I don't know, to live in the big city. So I came to Vancouver. Yeah, why? Why would you leave Fort McMurray, Alberta? I was like, oh, I could make a lot of money or I could spend a lot of money.

Yeah. Good call. What is like the most uptown place with the word fort in its name? Like, it seems like people. Like what's the biggest city with fort? If you grow up in a city whose name contains fort you're you're moving when you turn 18 yeah yeah for a lot of people i mean unless unless uh it's currently a fort and you can't oh yeah leave oh man because the enemy's just outside the gate yeah or a pillow

fort yeah that's a lot of fun yeah you know what's weird is like, is there even a fort there? Lord, no. Yeah, so like why not just call it McMurray? Why does it have to be Fort McMurray? That's really dumb. There must have been a fort. Yeah, but like if you go to a place like Port Angeles, there's a port there. So like if you call yourself Fort something, like if you go to St. Albert, there's a saint. you know so like if you call yourself fort something like if you go to

saint albert there's a saint his name is albert if you go to prince george there's a guy prince plays there at least once a year yeah these are the rules that we live by um now fort mcmurray get on that yeah so uh i've done shows there. People, they like buying you shots. They're very friendly. Like it's friendly people up there. Yeah. I find in when there are these places where like people, I guess there's, I guess it's cheap to live in these places. And so that's why people have money.

Like any city you go to where people are buying you shots you're like first of all lay off it's like a lineup behind it's a little yeah but it's stop buying it is it's a little show-offy it's's like, hey, look what I can do. What does a shot cost? Math? Math-y? Can I borrow your iPhone? But say, like, a shot costs $5. Yeah. Like, I would rather just have $5. Yeah. You know? I wonder what would happen

if someone's like, oh, I'm buying you a shot and you're like, can I just have the money? Yeah. If somebody came up to me after a show and just put $5 in my hand, I would be like, oh, that was great. Thanks. Yeah. Like if they were like, here's a tip.

Pass the hat after the show. No, I just stand there and they do the, like, they palm it, you know, they do it real class. Oh yeah. Good job. And then I look at it. I could never master that. And it's all coins falling away. Actually, I think I've tried that once.

Where you fold it and you tuck it. In what situation? In America, because like, that's the only time you, they have singles've tried that once. Where you fold it and you tuck it? In what situation? In America, because that's the only time they have singles. Yeah. That's true. I think where it's like you check into a hotel and what do you give them? A dollar a bag? I don't know.

And so your bags will be up in a few minutes. And so you're like, okay, okay, let's fold up this money. Let's put it in. Which of my fingers does it go in between? Well, yeah. Well, with our new crazy polymer bills, you can't fold that for shit. Oh, no. That'll cut your.

If you fold it like that, it'll just cut the inside of your hand and the person whose hand. It's a bleeding hand. Like you both, you become blood brothers that way. You're like, now we're forever connected. But the lowest that the polymer ones are is 20, I think. They're going to make the other ones polymer. I kind of like them. What do you like about them?

Well, I like them now because they're like new and shiny. And a little bit see-through. Are they going to get gross? Oh, absolutely. They're going to get gross in a different way than money's ever been gross before. That see-through part's just going to be stained. Yeah, it won't be see-through.

It's going to be a mirror. Oh, it'll be like creamy. I don't know why. That's the thing. Because it's more plasticky, stains won't soak into it. They'll stay surface level. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So it'll be easier to transfer a soy sauce stain from a 20 onto your hands. Yeah, so you're going to have to wash it. If you're a rich guy who's using $20 bills as napkins.

Yeah, those days are over again. They're not absorbent, man. Forming Murray's going to mourn that day because they used to blow their nose with 20s. Yeah. You can't even light a cigar with it because they're not. You can't? Well, they'll just melt. Yeah, they'll just melt.

And you get all over your fancy cigar. You're going to have to hire a guy and light his hair on fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pay him $20 to stand still while you light his hair on fire and then light your cigar off that. You're so rich that you, like, keep money just so you can keep your habits. Oh, yeah. You keep your old your old paper $20 bills or $100 bills you go to a you go into a business like oh you have the the first $20

bill that you made framed give it to me i'll give you a thousand dollars for that and then right away you light it on fire um have you you've been to a bar or a coffee shop where they have the old Canadian $2 bill in the tip jar? Yeah. Funny gag. Funny gag. Oh, is it a gag? Yeah, like it's like... We haven't been tipped since we switched to the $2 bill.

Oh, that's funny. Oh, you guys didn't think it was a gag? I just assumed it was a joke. I just thought it was like, hey, we're not going to spend this. It's a lot of fun. But you've been to bars where different people will sign the money and staple it on the wall, no? Yeah. Or coins glued.

I thought it was like that. It was like, ooh, we'll just put money in here. Money's weird. Why is that the staple? Is it like they do foreign bills or they just staple your tip to the wall? And then at the end of the night, you're like, get the staple cloth thing. Yeah.

Like, you have to go collect all your... Oh, that would be so fucking terrible. At the end of the night, you have to go around like, oh, somebody stapled it to the roof. All of it stapled to the bathroom door. Yeah, when's the last time you used one of those? It was a claw thing. High school, probably.

As a teacher, you probably get some use out of them. Yeah. Yeah, bulletin boards. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What's the policy with the bulletin board where you work? Yeah, tell me more. All the community events.

Good question, Graham. It's for sure staples, but i haven't decorated a bulletin oh yeah you gotta get on that in years it's fun yeah i like it so like uh you get the border stuff right oh yeah oh i love that i used to run a daycare and i just fort mcmurray no vancouver you ran a daycare it was like an after-school care center, so it was like 3 p.m. till 6 p.m. Okay. And in the mornings. But I used it as my own excuse.

I just used their money to be like, I need border decorations. More markers. Where do you get the border decorations? Do they come pre-assembled or do you got to make some? You got to make them. Wow. Yeah, it's so fun? You got to make them. Wow. Yeah, it's so fun. You're like, ooh, glitter.

Okay, I sound like the biggest nerd. Yeah, that's okay. It's all right. But I did buy a lot of craft supplies for that place because it just entertained me. Yeah. It's so fun. See, that's the thing about I never, like when when you're a kid you never think of a teacher as a human being right you think of them more as some sort of robotatron that goes to sleep at the

school yeah if you see them in the wild you freak out you run away one time i saw my social studies teacher at costco and it was the weirdest fucking thing in the world. So, but, like, yeah, like, you just assume the classrooms come pre-decorated. You know? Some teachers don't like it. Would you decorate another teacher's classroom? No. Really? And you get this.

I'd hell. I guess you go to a craft store or a Staples. There's, like, a tiny bit of overlap. There's one store that's my favorite, which is like an educator store. What? They've got like pencils. Like, you know, those like novelty pencils that are like fun decorations. Do they have smiley face stickers?

Yeah. Do they have gold stars? Yeah. All that. I love that store. Do they have gold stars yeah all that I love that do they have the yellow plastic rulers that have the

bump in the middle that you hold onto remember those yeah yeah yeah they got everything they'll sell like googly eyes meter sticks

meter sticks oh shit you guys wanna go totally I kind of really do want to do you want to have like a pointer

so you can point at a map do they have maps this actually like it's pretty cool it's weird I kind of really do want to have a pointer so you can point at a map. Do they have maps? This actually, like, I really want to go to the store. It's weird because it is, like, everything from your childhood school, but, like, in one store. Loud pencil sharpener? That never sharpens a pencil. Manual loud pencil sharpener. Low to the ground urinal.

I could really go for one of those like sharpening a pencil. When's the last time you sharpened a pencil? Well, I have pencils. Like I draw. But it's just like a little tiny, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I want to talk about like wall mounted like grinding one. Oh, yeah.

You can disturb the whole class. Yeah. You know, I just realized that like that thing would be super flammable. The, like, thing holding over it. Oh, yeah. I never thought of dropping a match in there. Because there's a hole that you could light a match and just throw it in there. That would become, like, a bomb.

It needs oxygen. It does need oxygen, though. It would be a bomb. Well, did you ever know a kid that threw a match in a pencil sharpener? It seems crazy that I didn't. No. If any of our listeners are in school, do that. Or a teacher.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you have access to a school. Yeah, call it like a Clark cocktail. It's like a Molotov cocktail invented by Graham. I've always wanted a weapon named after me. A weapon of terror. I'm really fascinated by this teacher's store. Did you ever...

You should go. As a kid, I was... There was a store. I think it probably still exists. It was like Staples. It was office supplies. But it was called Grand and Toy. And it didn't have a single toy in it.

And I hated it so much. Highlighters? No, that's not a toy. Highlighters. I feel like I've been told that specifically by somebody. No, no, no. I don't know. Oops, had a little spill.

Quick, grab a 50. It's not mopping up anything. It's just pushing it around. Um, the, uh, what was the thing? What were those things called that had the pointy head, like a needle. And then you put a pencil in the other side. Compass. Ah, deadly.

Yeah. Yeah. But great circle making tool. Yeah. Yeah. Top 10. Top 10 circle making tools What else is in the top ten

Protractor Like an any size circle And a pencil A cup, a bottle A Coke can Half a Coke can A flying saucer A paper towel roll

These are all great Oh man. We've, uh, we really ran the gamut. Yeah. Oh man. I think,

I think this is the only thing that I can picture enjoying about being a teacher. It's this part of it that this having access. Yeah. Having access to, I got into education so I can go shopping. But like, I don't know. It's weird that there's a bunch of stuff that you only ever see. Do teachers get like a budget of like you can spend this much going to the teacher store?

Yeah. But a lot of teachers spend their own money because they like want it to look nice. Like they're spending so many hours in their classroom. It's crazy. Especially elementary school teachers. High school, it's like, meh. That's what you're teaching. High school.

High school. So fun. Why so fun? Because that age group is the best. They think they're so cool, but they don't know so much. Like in one conversation, they'll say something and you're like, that's not correct. So they're fun to talk to. They like have personalities, but they're also like a little bit like able to be influenced.

So like what's an example of like a teenager like straight up saying something? I'm 100% able to be influenced. I'm a blank slate. Guide him, won't you? I don't know if I have any good examples off the top of my head of them being wrong. You just want them being wrong about something. Well, I don't know. Like if they said, you know, Nicki Minaj wrote a song that really the four tops wrote.

Something like that. Something really dumb that a teenager would think. Let me think. We'll keep talking. I bet I can pull one out. We're going to put a button. We're going to put a bulletin in it. Yeah.

Dave, what's going on with you, man? Oh, not a heck of a lot. Go on. This past weekend, actually, Abby was out of town, so I was all by myself. So I treated myself to a solo matinee movie. Oh, delightful. I haven't been to a movie in months. You put your trench coat on.

Uh-huh. I got on the shoulders of a taller kid. You got a Giants discount. Well, you can't get into a lot of movies if you're under 40. Please sit in the back row, sir. You're very tall. I went to go see This is the End. Comedy movie.

Very funny comedy movie. And the thing is before the movie well first of all there was a preview for Grown Ups 2 oh yes can I say

I also saw this movie and also saw this preview did you see it by yourself? I went with my my brother and his girlfriend what your brother was in town? yep

wait wait you didn't call me up? we were at the movies that's movies yeah i don't like using my cell phone oh which are your brothers uh patrick oh okay oh ouch regardless um yeah so uh go on well the preview for the grown-ups 2 movie it's mostly clips from grown-ups 1 yeah hey do you remember this part where the kid wanted to get chocolate wasted yeah chocolate wasted i haven't seen that no well i've only seen the previews yeah me too but it's like what is chocolate the gag is the gag is they're saying

uh the the parents are talking about getting weight We used to come to this bar before and get wasted. And then the kids ask, what does getting wasted mean? And they say, eating ice cream. Yeah, and then all the kids are like, I want to get wasted. And this one cute girl says, I want to get chocolate wasted. Only funny line, apparently, in the whole movie. In the whole franchise. Yeah, exactly. They couldn't even come up with, like, a sequel joke.

Oh, I bet in that sequel there is a part where it's like, okay, chocolate wasted went over really well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to get Twizzler. Get caramel baked. Getting Twizzler high sounds great. Yeah, so I did notice that yeah I got I was so

didn't want to it was the opening weekend of the movie even though it came out on a Wednesday but I so didn't want to get like caught up in the crowds so I went to a 1220 like a noon showing but I got there half an hour early and there's 20 minutes of previews 20, like a noon showing, but I got there half an hour early.

And there's 20 minutes of previews. I was like, okay, well, I'll have my whole afternoon after this to do stuff. No, this is my whole day. And I was... I don't know why I'm worried about being considerate about stuff to other people.

Oh, the lights went down. Well, first of all, the lights are down the whole time. They have magazines, the little tribute magazine, which you can read about Steve Carell's new project. Yeah, you get a Jim Cavill-sized cutout for your

locker. Caviezel? What's his name, the new Superman? Oh, Henry Cavill. Not Jim. Jim Kviesel. That's his brother. But you can't read it because there's no light in the movie theater anymore. That's true.

And so they do the dumb thing where they blur out the person's face and tell you everything about their career and you're like can you rearrange these letters? out the person's face and tell you everything about their career and you're like can rearrange these letters charlie's three on oh i know i can figure it out um and uh but then like oh the the i can see the lighting's changing there they do a little intro um video So I put my phone away because that's what considerate people do. But now what they do is they have a thing like open up your phone app.

Oh, no. Yeah, there's an app. What? Yeah. And before the movie, we're going to do some like trivia or like it's not even trivia. It's like, what do you prefer? Yeah. And if you're in the group that prefer and they take everyone's votes through this app.

And then it shows up on the screen? It shows up on the screen and like, who's 70% voted this way? 30% voted this way? Which led me to believe that only 10 people in the whole theater had this app. There was a shocking number of people who had their phones out doing this at the show I was at. I was like, oh, this is a thing that zero people do. Everyone around where I was sitting was doing it. I guess there might have been a time in my life when the idea of earning points for seeing movies appealed to me.

But I see a movie every three months in the theater. Yeah. Like I used to go to movies a lot, but. Those points can carry on to other things. Oh, you can get free jimmies for your yogurt? Yeah, exactly. Shopper's optimum points? Oh, those are very, those are very important.

I have a card for that, and I deny it every time. Do you have a card? No. Oh, I'm so mad when I don't have my card. I'm like, friggin' could have got 500 points. Yeah. Soon I'll be up to 100,000 and I can get $2 off. It is amazing how much I care about those dumb points.

Like more than, you know, like having money in the bank. Like, you know, what I owe on my credit card. But like I'm giving you a very close account i earn like um flight points on my credit card but that's the only thing i care about and i don't even go anywhere but like i don't care about getting you know a face cream is that where you get it shot for a joke you bet so when did this thing start happening were you there's a now like a physical

challenge at the beginning of the movie I don't know but it I went it was the first time you had seen this yeah because we went to go see Man of Steel on like when my brother was first in town we were like oh we haven't seen Man of Steel so we're gonna go see Man of Steel have you seen Star Trek yet steel uh on like when my brother was first in town we were like oh we haven't seen man of steel

so we're gonna go see man of steel and have you seen star trek yet no we're recording this by the way listener we're recording this about a month before it's released so you probably have an entirely different set of movies oh yeah but if you're in the uk this will be current yeah yeah you can pick you can pick your own seat in the UK. And if you're listening to this like a year from now in some place like in Indonesia or something. Also current. Yeah. Like Man of Steel just coming out there. And our podcast.

We release our podcast a year late. Yeah. In, you know, shitty countries. I don't think Indonesia is shitty. I wasn't saying Indonesia. I'm just saying. The shitty countries. The shitty countries.

indonesia's i wasn't saying indonesia i'm just saying the shitty yeah um uh yeah so like the man of steel like the projector fucked up and uh it was actually a lot of fun it was more fun than i've had in a movie in a long time because the projector fucked up and everybody started booing there was a group of like five guys in front of us and they started booing and I started booing. And just it really took over the theater. And then they restarted the whole thing. How far into the movie was it? Zero. Like they started playing it and there was no picture. It was just sound.

And so we had to listen to all the ads. But we couldn't see anything. And then all the trailers. Oh, okay. And then they shut everything down and we just sat in the theater for 15 minutes. And then they restarted it up. But they started by showing ads and people just, oh, no, we're not sitting through ads. And they can just skip them.

Those are not stitched to the movie. I have a feeling that they're not even on reels anymore, any of this. No, no. It definitely is not. Because they just, like, skipped ahead. And we were all sitting there in our dumb 3D glasses, like. Ooh, this pitch black is coming right at me. But then they gave us free, like, coupons or whatever.

Comeback. Yeah, so that's why we went back and watched this at the end the next day so pretty awe inspiring story yeah I've heard these stories

like I've never about people being in the theater when stuff breaks it's never happened to me oh yeah I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that's why I have a

semi-charmed kind of life baby did you see Man of Steel did you see it not yet I have a semi-charmed kind of life. Baby. Did you see Madam Steel? Did you see it? Not yet. I plan to. I don't.

This is not a spoiler. But you've seen pictures of the guy who's Superman. Yeah, he doesn't wear underwear over top of his pants. And he's a giant. Like, he looks like he's like a linebacker. Like, he's a giant, giant man. And standing next to Amy Adamsams all the more giant um and like he's supposed to be like put on glasses and nobody's gonna know this giant ogre of a man yeah his little reporter like like if anderson cooper barely fit in the frame when they showed him

they're like wow you're really buff he's just like oh I do crossfit he's got a shake weight at his desk his microphone is a shake weight did they do anything like to make it because every movie or TV version of

superhero movies they try to like fit it into our current world. Yeah. Like how do they explain that he's a journalist with a job? Oh, yeah. They don't really. That's true. I didn't even think about that one. Yeah.

Wait a minute. That's not a thing. Does he write for like a blog? Yeah. He writes for BuzzFeed. Yeah, he's one of the guys. 10 top corgi pictures of 2013. 23 pictures that'll make you think Kryptonite's the worst.

Yeah, he's one of the guys in the TMZ group of people. Hey, Clark, what did you see? Oh, Adam Sandler came into LAX. I asked movie one to get chocolate wasted. Hey, hey, man. That's my Adam Sandler. Um, let's, uh... Oh, boy.

Yeah, uh, how was the Superman film? It was fine. You know? It was fine. Yeah. Like, it's like, you know. Yeah, exactly. It's like, it's fine.

It's like they try to make it really, you know, Batman-ish, right? Really dark. Really moody. So moody. Michael Shannon. So moody. Michael Shannon is the bad guy? Yeah.

You know who that is? I don't think so. He's the guy. Do you watch Boardwalk Empire? Yes. He's the, it's hard to say. Amy was going to say he's the guy with the weird face. Oh, is he the guy with the mask?

Nope. Nope. He's not Steve Buscemi. He's not the mask guy. He's the guy who was the like the federal agent oh yeah yeah I don't know his character

weird face guy General Zod I think is his name in both Boardwalk Empire and in Superman and he was in Groundhog Day what? he was the couple at the end when he gives them tickets to Wrestlemania.

He's the guy in that couple. Really? Yeah. Wow. Everyone's got to start somewhere. What a place to start. Yeah, exactly. Start at the top. Yeesh. Yeah, so like... I don't know. It's just that I couldn't get

past the idea that you know, giant man. Have you seen that SNL sketch with The Rock? Yeah, it's like that. Have you seen it? Like, yeah. And everyone knows he's Superman. He's so bad at pulling off the Clark Kent thing.

Like his cape is coming out of his shirt. He does, in the movie, he has a very thick beard at one point. And then he's clean shaven. And there's no scene where you see him shave. So I don't understand how he shaves. Oh, well, I mean, I think there was something with like Gillette. Like there was a sponsorship. Yeah, I know.

But he doesn't, like he doesn't shave. You don't see him shave i heard them talking about this today actually on uh our sister podcast jordan jesse go what was their conclusion he used in in the comic books it's old hat he uses his x-ray vision or his uh laser see here's the problem with in the movie is the laser vision doesn't doesn't hurt. It just bounces off of his opponents in it. So that doesn't work. What do you mean? Well, because the guys, the bad guys in this movie are also from Krypton.

Oh, so they're the same as him. But it wouldn't work on their hair? Yeah. Like, they zap each other with it. Even in the hair? Yeah, yeah. Like, their hair doesn't burn off. So that was the old comic book thing. They did not think this through. So many plot holes.

Well, that's the biggest one. That's the one that lost me the whole time. I mean, today's razors, they've got, like, five blades. But it would just, like, just bend backwards. Maybe the first couple, but you'd get it. He'd have to shave with a girder. Gillette is the best a man can get. Or at least that was the slogan of my youth.

He would have to use one of those giant satellite dishes or something. He'd have to use something like an anchor or a piece of a battleship. I don't know. You know what I hate is the conversation about how does Superman do this oh yeah how does he fuck well it doesn't

it wouldn't matter if he was always clean shaven in the movie I wouldn't even think twice why they made such a big deal about him having a fucking beard

in this movie it would be great if he had like a really big like elaborate mustache for a while like when he was trying you know

different looks doing Movember selling artisanal doing Movember know, different looks. Doing Movember. Selling artisanal kryptonite. Superman's doing Movember. Yeah, yeah. How much is he raising? He's supporting the cause. Is he just growing a mustache or is he also raising money?

Yeah. Yeah. He stole some of Lex Luthor's money. He's giving it to Jared. Yeah, he's the Robin Hood of Movember. So that's what's going on with me. So that's what's going on with me. Was that also what's going on with you? Or did you have something else?

I mean, it's pretty good. What else happened? Oh, this is a weird thing that happened, which I've never seen before. And I can't piece together what was going through the guy's mind. And I can't piece together what was going through the guy's mind, but I was riding on the bus and this truck pulled in front of the bus and put on its brakes and backed up and blocked the bus in so that we couldn't move because there was a car behind. Oh, wow. And he just sat there like a crazy person and like the bus was honking at him and somebody got out like knocked on his window and he wasn't moving his truck we all like took pictures of his license plate and stuff

and like the bus driver called the cops and this guy was just picking up his girlfriend like he blocked in the entire he was i was just like wow what a what an asshole well but it's we've been we've all been there but is was that was it like a giant truck yes like a 18 wheeler or like a no like a big like a ford f-150 like a ford f-150. Yeah. But this guy backed up right to the bus, so the bus couldn't move. And so the bus driver came on the intercom and said, we got to just sit here until this guy's blocked us in on purpose, apparently. Oh, wow.

It was really weird. What was his girlfriend like? Crazy looking? No, she was very plain. Oh, plain and tall? What's that? Nothing. Plain plain and what's her name sarah yeah um you know i don't i don't know it was weird it wasn't like maybe he's got something against the bus i mean we have we've all got something against the bus it's grody we just like ride it

in quiet rage and he's like, maybe he just got this truck. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Maybe it was his first day off the bus. And he was like, I just got this truck. I've been riding my bus. My bus.

I've been riding a bus for years. Somebody would call it his bus. He's got a real entitlement problem. I've been riding the bus for years. Today I'm sticking it to the bus. Yeah. But like, you know, what did the bus ever do to you? Picked you up, dropped you off. Smelled bad.

Smelled bad, yeah. But, you know, it's like, so? Right? Caused a lot of discomfort. It was weird. That's crazy. Yeah, it was. But like, as it happened, I was like, oh, this is like a thing that they do in movies where they like block in a vehicle and then they like kill everybody.

Assassins swing in. Yeah. And so, but that like while we were sitting there, I was like, oh, when does this happen ever? Oh, yeah. That one. Yeah. And how will I know if the bus is being filled with poison gas? Because everyone stinks.

But yeah, anyways, it was weird. Because, like, you know, like, if the bus had cut him off or something. But this guy really did just, like, drive up alongside the bus and did this on purpose. And if it was, like, a 20-year-old guy, I'd be like, that's what 20-year-olds do. They suck. Was he an 80-year-old guy? No, he was just a middle-aged guy. Oh, it's, like, somewhere in between.

Yeah. And it's not like his girlfriend came out and she was like super crazy looking like, oh, these people are crazy. You know, it's just like two really boring looking people. Oh, his girlfriend's an alien. She's green. She's a green person. Yeah, she's glowing, you know?

Yeah, see, your explanation is as good as anything I came up with. Yeah. But yeah, no, that... I would have been a little worried. When someone knocked on his window and he didn't leave, I'd be like, should I leave this place? Yeah. Well, then it was the littlest guy on the bus who got out and knocked on the window. You guys voted him.

You're like, you. You. Tiny Tim, get out. Piggy. Yeah. It was amazing. That little guy, he really took the bull by the horns. Well, he's been compensating for this whole life.

Yeah, but he, like Napoleon, he led us into battle. Oh, we killed this guy. I didn't mention that part of the set up to the story. That would be good. Yeah, well, I mean, that's the way, on a long enough timeline, that's the way this story would have ended. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's the last person either of you killed? I'm not supposed to say.

But I think you guys will be pleasantly surprised to know that Jimmy Hoffa really is dead. Yeah, no one's denying that he's dead. Well, where's the body? It's true. You kill anyone lately? You did any kills? A child. In like a year, I'm going to be like, please take this podcast down.

I'm trying to get a job. Wow, we just Googled child kill in your name. It was amazing how many results came. Way to think on your feet. Oh, Lordy. Well, do you want to move on to overheards? Yeah. Yeah.

Life can be fun. Don't get carried away. You gotta do the things you don't want to do to get through the day. You gotta shine your shoes. You gotta sweep the floor. You gotta clean your house. You gotta do some more. Take care of business.

That music, of course, means that it's not quite time for overheards. We've got a little bit of business happening this week on the Jumbotron and actually, this is kind of historic. Graham is in a different city than I am. We're not even going to try to pretend that this is happening

during the episode. Graham is in Montreal right now at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, but he's taking some time out of his busy schedule to send this personal message. Yeah, I'm in a hotel room not wearing any pantalons, as they would say in Montreal.

Yeah, this was split four ways to make it equitable to everybody. Everybody's in on this birthday greeting. And the greeting, the official greeting is happy birthday.

Yeah, fry baby. Maybe Jessica is an actual baby. Oh, yeah. Oh, remember, wasn't that the name of the... Baby Jessica. Yeah, the one that was stuck in the well.

I sure do. Okay, bye. This is Cameron Esposito. I'm Rhea Butcher. This is Ricky Carmona. And we have a great action and sci-fi movie podcast. That's right, great. On the Maximum Fun Network. It is called Wham Bam Pow. Every week we review an amazing movie about blow-em-ups.

Smash-em-ups. We call it a dick flick. Yeah, we do. And you can tune in to the movies on Netflix Watch Instant. Maybe they're in theaters. It's going to change your life. Damn. to the movies on Netflix, watch Instant. Maybe they're in theaters. It's going to change your life. Damn! You can subscribe on iTunes

or listen at MaximumFun.org. Overheard. Before Overheard. Oh! We were discussing upstairs. Dave was telling me about a podcast that features people discussing Saved by the Bell. It's called Go Bayside. It's a great idea. I like it.

It's very repetitive because the plot holes in Saved by the Bell are consistent through the entire series. That's true. They're the same plot holes. And then we were asking Amber if you watched Saved by the Bell. Not so much. Not so much. But you were into Boy Meets World. Big into Boy Meets World.

And all TGIF, which was the ABC. Your Urkels. Meet the Urkels. Meet step by step. The Teen Angel. What? Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Teen Angel, I don't remember.

Was there a Teen Angel? Oh, it was bad. I think it was only like one season. It was about a friend who ate a hamburger that was found under his friend's bed and then died and then came back as his guardian angel. But he was still a teenage boy, so they got into hijinks. What? Was his friend riddled with guilt because he kind of like participated in the murder? I think it was like sometimes held over him like, well, I'm the one who's dead.

Oh, you think it sucks where you are? I'm in heaven. This is a good show to show to kids to explain to them how death works. Yeah. Your mom has passed away, but she's going to come back and- And wear a white tuxedo. Yeah, she's going to help you play pranks. Did you ever see Migo?

Migo was a TGIF series, I believe, with Jonathan Lipnicki. Wasn't it Life with Migo? Might have been. Yeah, I feel like- Jonathan Lipnicki. I believe Ed Begley Jr. played his father. And Bronson Pinchot from Perfect Strangers played an alien. Oh, this sounds familiar, yeah.

It sounds familiar because there's been a lot of shows like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, there's no alien comedy currently on television. I would watch it. Well, Third Rock from the Sun was an alien comedy. Yeah, Alf. My Father the... Alien.

Or My Uncle the Martian. My Favorite Martian. My Father the Martian. Yeah. Swinging on a Star. Mork and Mindy? Yeah. Mork and Mindy.

Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, these are like... Alien Nation. Yeah, that was a sitcom, right? Filmed in front of a live studio. Alien Autopsy. The X-Files.

TLC probably has an alien show. Yeah, but not like a fun alien show. Not a fun show. Well, no, the alien tries on bridal gowns. Say yes to the extraterrestrial dress. Say blurk to the dress. Say zyblon. Say zyblon to the blurk lorg.

Say take me to your leader. Oh, man, how come there isn't... It feels weird that there isn't an alien show currently on because it's all sorts of new stuff like what would an alien think of an ipad oh boy they'd be primitive what if there was an alien where like their stuff like they're like a super primitive culture oh and so everything's like super advanced to them. That would be the new, right?

The new twist. Yeah. How did he get here, though? It turns out he's just like an 80-year-old person. He's an old man. Oh, yeah. He convinces the whole family

that he's an alien. So he can live with them? I don't understand your technology. Well, he must be an alien. He lives in the attic and hides every time somebody comes over. They're looking for me. Oh, he doesn't understand technology.

He keeps subscribing to magazines. Oh, man. I really want to watch this show. Anyways, we're talking about Boy Meets World and that they're making a reboot, a reimagining. Yeah. Called Girl Meets World. Wherein're making a reboot, a reimagining called Girl Meets World. Wherein? Yeah.

Your star, boy, Corey. And the girl that he met in the world. She was a world. She was his world. Topanga becomes Corey's world.

Yeah. They get married. They have a kid. Yeah, a girl. It's a girl. She meets a girl. By way of having sex. That means they had sex.

Finally. Oh, no, no, no. Wait, was that a thing that they were like, no. I don't know. It's a girl. She meets Will. By way of having sex. That means they had sex. Finally. Oh, no, no, no. Wait, was that a thing that they were like, no? I don't know. I didn't really watch the later seasons. I didn't watch that episode. I watched the one where there was a rumor that they had sex. And Topanga wanted him to clear it up.

And she was like, I want my good name back. And he said, Topanga wasn't the best name to begin with. That's a pretty good line well done writers yeah exactly that was before the writer yeah they they uh the whole point of having her have that name was to eventually pay off with that one joke one joke uh surely there was a joke somewhere along the series run where somebody called her tapioca that must have been uh there's all sorts of possibilities right once you get in the writer's room so girl meets world yeah it's it's set to premiere next

year uh we have a countdown clock website that we're checking in with every day yeah to my home page yeah to see when you know uh also to just. When the world can meet this girl. Yeah. And when she's legal. Yeah, exactly. To concurrent websites. That's the point of these websites. These countdown websites. Or so is my understanding. So we were trying to figure out what elements.

I have always said, if there's grass on the world, play meet girl. I'm sorry. Gross. Gross. Gross. We were trying to figure out what elements would be carried over from the original series. We're doing kind of like Vegas odds. Yeah. Ooh, I've got it.

Okay. I bet that Sean, Rider Strong. Rider Strong. I think he'll be a teacher at the high school. Right? Someone's got to be a teacher. Yeah high school right? someone's gotta be a teacher yeah but she's not gonna

start out in high school is she? I don't know. A baby? yeah she's gonna start out as a baby first couple seasons are gonna really drag I think Corey and Topanga got at it early they regretted it they only have the one dollar.

But they started as young, like as junior highs. They weren't high schoolers. I think this will be a junior high or even maybe like a maybe junior high. Yeah. Yeah. Sixth grade. So you think right or strong? He's a teacher.

Yeah. I think that could happen. Yeah. Or Minkus, as we said, as we discovered the name. Right? I think there's going to be a new teacher character. No, but Minkus kind of, he was phased out of the show. He was so phased out.

Yeah. Wasn't there a plot line wherein Ryder Strong lived with his brother in a loft? Like they introduced a brother character late in the series. Matthew Lawrence. Is that his name? Joey Lawrence's brother? You can drop the charade that you don't know

who for sure it is. Was Matthew the middle of the Lawrence brothers or the baby? I don't... Joey being the eldest? Joey being the eldest, yeah. Yeah, he'd be the middle.

The wise older brother. Okay. There were how many? I don't know. Come on, Amber. I don't know. Come on. Wait, so Joey Lawrence.

Mm-hmm. Matthew Lawrence. Yeah. And the third Lawrence. Lawrence. Martin Lawrence. Martin Lawrence. Yeah.

What was their show called? Blossom. It's a family thing. Oh, I don't know. Yeah. They had a show together? Yeah. Bro went out.

Joey, probably. It was called Lawrence's. Lawrence's Incorporated. It was about them running their own business. It was really boring. It was like a documentary on taxes. Yeah, they ran their own tax service. Tax thing.

So we were saying that using Rider Strong, it's going to be a teacher. I put $2 on it. Yeah, I'm going to say the local hangout where they kind of convene every episode will be Mr. Feeney's grave. That's their hangout spot. So at the end of every episode where they're kind of talking about what they learned that week. Is his ghost there? Well, maybe some episode of the Halloween special. Yeah.

And you know how he died? Put on your 3D glasses now. He was run over by the car from Knight Rider, which he also voiced. So that's my bet. Dave, any bets? Oh, boy. That teacher. The hunky one.

The hunky teacher that Rider Strong's character lived with, which is, as a teacher, you know that habit all the time. Kids move in with teachers. How many kids are currently living with you? Last count, seven. Oh, wow. What a fun house. He will be in prison for doing just what the good deed. He meant well. Yeah.

Well, you know what? William Russ is the name of that actor. Are you sure? Yep. That's him there, isn't it? Of Mr. Feeney? No, the handsome. What?

The handsome guy. Show me him. He's a lot older than he used to be. That's him there, isn't it? Of Mr. Feeny? No, the handsome. What? The handsome guy. Show me him. He's a lot older than he used to be. Show me him. That's him. Isn't that him? No, that's the dad. Oh, that's the dad.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty handsome. Classic dad. What do you think will happen to the dad? He's in the plot next to. I'm not saying the hunky teacher did anything wrong. We just assumed. But he went to prison just because it was crazy suspicious.

So he's just getting out of prison in this new series. Yeah, and he's starting his life over. He can't make his... He can't... He's like that guy in the Shawshank Redemption. He can't adjust and he kills himself. Oh, Jesus. Well, that's dark.

And so he's buried right next to Mr. Feeny. His girl meets world on AMC. That's like a queen here. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

But when Girl Meets World is on the air, we'll have that discussion. Yeah, okay. I'll call in. I'll leave a voice and I'll be like, hey, guys, I just wanted to say.

Guess what I'm doing right now. So now really onto awards. What do we think Corey and Topanga do for a living? Oh, she sells crystals by the side of the road. Yeah. So now really onto What do we think Corey and Topanga do for a living? Oh she's like sells crystals by the side of the road Math style crystals And he's a baseball star Yeah

time for overheards now we like to start with the guest now the thing about overheards nope nothing about it we already did the girlets World Roundup. That's true. We like to start with the guest. Did you come prepared?

Are you ready? I am so prepared. Yay! Oh, boy. Were you born ready? I was born ready. My overheard comes with a story. Mm-hmm.

Okay. All the good ones. Two years ago, I was in Europe, and I was listening to a lot of your podcast on trains and beaches and things like that. So I was big into it. Thank you. Then I was in Poland. I spent a few days in Poland. On the beaches.

On the beaches. Famous Poland beaches. Catching those Polish rays. That was a Polish raise. And I overheard something and I was like, oh, my God, I have to call in or like email in or whatever. And then I said, no, maybe one day I'll be on their show and I'll never have a better overheard than this. Had you started your path to comedy at this point? This is like remember the story of Jim Carrey wrote himself the million dollar check? This is your million dollar check.

But then he put it in his dad's grave? Yeah, but he had a million dollars by then, so he didn't need his own dumb check. He had real checks.

you write yourself a check for a million dollars, that's no money is moving. You put it in checking, it's coming out of checking and going into checking. Yeah, but I want to see that balance.

Oh, you know, you shouldn't keep a million dollars in checking. Put it in savings. Absolutely. You know what? Put it in war bonds.

War bonds. So that was a great overheard. Thank you. All right. So. Okay. So I'm in Poland. I'm in Krakow.

And I'm about to go on a walking tour. And on that tour, we go to Schindler's Factory. Wow. Yeah. So I'm all by myself. So i'm like just trying to look like i fit in with other groups of people and uh there's a couple there i'm gonna say they're english speaking i'm gonna say american okay they're dumb hello oh boy and this this girl i overhear her say to the guy she's with no i've never seen never seen Schindler's List, but I know what it is.

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman? Which is the bucket list. She thinks she's doing a walking tour of the bucket list. I'm going to save all these people before I die. I'd love to do a walking tour of the bucket list. Yeah, absolutely. That scene with the hot tub do they go golfing at some point maybe

I forget I forget the commercials for that movie I never saw skydiving eating weird food maybe oh yeah absolutely they both have to eat a tarantula I don't think very many people saw that movie no

given that girl did like certainly compared to how many how the phrase bucket list has become part of the culture. Also, yeah, it's weird. It's like one of the final ironies that seeing bucket list is on very few people's bucket list. I don't want to see bucket list before I die. I want to see it while I die.

Yeah, exactly. Like if I feel like a heart attack see it while I die. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Like, if I feel like a heart attack coming on. Just click it up. Yeah, yeah. Turn on the on-demand

to see if Netflix has this. I would buy a DVD of it just for that time. Yeah, that's true. That's a good call. Don't leave it

up to chance, guys. Even on nights when I'm like, I don't know if I'm going to see the light of day. I got some bad acid reflux. Yeah. So you end up seeing it so many times because you always think you're going to die. Oh, yeah.

But if you die watching it, it is like the best. Yeah, it syncs up with your death. That's a pretty great overheard. I really liked it. I thought it was so dumb. Like, Schindler's Factor, guys.

Very dumb. So dumb. How, it's seemingly, like, how did she, I haven't seen either movie. I've seen Schindler's List,

never The Bucket List. Yeah, I've seen Schindler's List. I think that's the one to see. I think so, too. You're only gonna see one list movie?

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I, yeah, how did she get all the way to, Poland. You're only going to see one list movie? Yeah. Yeah. How did she get all the way to Poland? Yeah. How did she get out of the house to leave? Yeah.

Don't take dumb people on an educational trip. I love people like that because I'm like, your worldview is so crazy. Yeah. What do you think is happening here? You came all this way only to discover on the tour that Schindler's List isn't the bucket list. But you're right. If that's a thing that exists in their world, then what is the ripple effect? How many other things do they not comprehend? Do they think World of Warcraft and World War II are the same thing?

They're like a lot of dwarves and whatever. I kind of want to live inside that. Me too, kind of. I want to live in a really dumb person's brain. Oh boy. Oh, it would be

a great relief to not have any like, have to worry about stuff. Yeah. Like there's stuff I don't get and it feels good to write it off. Yeah, exactly. Like when I don't have to contemplate like the expansion of the universe or the contraction of it or whatever is going on. Yeah. I don't have to worry about it.

I don't have to wake up in a panic. I'm assuming that people like that aren't – they aren't concerned about it they of course not no yeah but it's just like you can get you can go like smaller and smaller and smaller into that like you don't even know what goes on like across the street from your house like you're just like and she's fine yeah she made it to poland she went to poland yeah absolutely i've traveled europe yeah she's fine. She made it to Poland. She went to Poland. Yeah, absolutely. I've traveled Europe. Yeah, she can say, I've been like... Not even like touristy Europe.

I went to niche Europe. I went to Krakow. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe she thought she was going to Disneyland, not Poland. Yeah. Where are all the poles? This is the north pole

where's Santa oh we could do this for hours Dave do you have it overheard the other day you know my policy on if I'm walking down the street yes indeed

if I'm walking down the street and there's someone uh whose uh job it is to talk to people yeah stand there and get you to talk to them um usually it is a binder person saying hey remember amnesty international it's back hey want to look at some pictures of some atrocities? Yeah. Well, that's, yeah. But this time, and my strategy around that is to, if there's someone else on the street walking with me, I will change where I'm walking so that they are in between me and this person.

That's a good method. That is pretty good. And this was happening the other day. I was walking down the street and there was a woman standing outside a store that sells honey. A honey shop. I believe it was on Main Street. This is a behind. It could have been any street, though.

They're so common. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. They're like Starbucks's. Yeah, exactly. Flitting from honey store to honey store. And it always makes me feel bad because whenever there's someone from a store standing outside, I'm like, well, they don't have enough work to do. Yeah, oh, that's true. There's not enough customers.

Go outside and talk to people. Yeah. Get to know the neighborhood. So there was someone standing outside with a thing of honey. And so I changed where I was walking so that someone else was walking in between us. And it was this woman walking next to me. And so the honey person looked at this woman and said, hey, would you like to sample some of our honey? And the woman said, you're not much of a salesperson, are you?

Wow. And I kept walking and I turned around and I think they knew each other. I think it was like a. Like kind of a sass. Yeah, yeah. But if not. Wow. Also, like in my experience, though, like honey really sells itself, right?

Yeah, so sweet. Yeah, like I don't ever. I've never had to experience, though, like honey really sells itself, right? Yeah, so sweet. Yeah, like I don't ever, I've never had to be like talked into buying honey. I'm buying it or I'm not buying it. In a honey store, you're going to buy some honey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh. It's like a car dealership. If someone walks in the door of a honey store, they're walking out with honey.

Now, here's the thing about a honey store is you know like if you uh have ever been to a coffee shop which i assume both of you have even just the fact that there is a container of honey means that everything has honey on it in the entire place oh yeah right like honey transfers from a container to your hair to your shirt to your wallet there was a guy what happens in a honey store like you must just walk out without your jacket on. It's just stuck. Because of the bees. Yeah.

Absolutely. That's why they have those little stripy outfits. I don't like honey. I don't think it tastes good. Really? Yeah. I would rather just sugar. Just give me a mouthful of sugar.

Give me some Lick-O-Mate. I picture that I'm licking a bee's butt. That's all. Oh, yeah. I like it so much. You've got to picture it, yeah. First of all, I picture licking a bee's butt. Then I have to think about baseball.

I was at a coffee shop the other day where a guy was... This wasn't the other day. It was a few weeks ago, but it was the grossest thing and I told everybody about it. I might have said it on the podcast. A guy put coffee or honey in his coffee, which is kind of weird. That is kind of weird. It's a tea accoutrement. Yeah, it's like if you ran out of sugar, I guess.

And then, like you say, honey gets everywhere. He puts the thing down, licks all five of his fingers. Wait a minute. Was he a giant yellow bear with a shirt that didn't quite fit? He licks all of his fingers and then grabs a stack of lids for his coffee. Probably not on purpose. Probably all stuck to his honey hands. for his coffee. Probably not on purpose.

Probably all stuck to his honey hands. And then takes one and puts them all back after he's touched them with his freshly licked fingers. I also think it's really gross when people lick all five fingers. Oh yeah. Like more than one. You think it's gross? Yeah.

But what if there's only three fingers? Then it's even weirder. Oh yeah. Wait a minute. It should be like it should be but that guy only made three. Why isn't he licking the other two? Oh, maybe he doesn't have them. Industrial accident. Yeah, yeah. It's a millwright.

Oh, man. Yeah. I don't like people licking their fingers. What else is in the honey store? Did you go in? Where is it? Can I go? Yeah, I went in the honey store. You don't even people licking their feet. What else is in the honey store? Did you go in? Where is it? Can I go? Yeah, I went in the honey store.

You don't even like eating that much. What else is in it? Copies of the movie Honey, starring Jessica Alba. Sure, absolutely. They only play the Mariah Carey song, Honey. Honeycomb cereal. Honeycomb cereal, sure. That's it

that's the honey store I mean sugar pie honey bunch yeah absolutely bunches of honey yeah honey bunches of oats

yeah absolutely it's just one of my top cereals yeah I gotta go I gotta go I gotta go to the honey store yeah it's not

I don't mainstream I think it's near the butcher shop there's like a store in Vancouver that only sells artisanal brooms, right?

And that place is still open. It's a front. No, it's on Granville Island. Okay, yeah. Yeah, they sell like a broom that a witch would ride around on.

Like that's what they look like. They're all like crazy and curvy. They're artisanal brooms. That's all they sell. Brooms and dustpans. Has there been a modern witch comedy where they ride a

Swiffer? It's a great chance for... Oh, a Swiffer. No. A vacuum cleaner, though. I feel like that was a thing. I don't know. Anyways. I was watching Back to the Future 2 the other day. Yeah.

Marty McFly is in the year 2015, which is not so far away, people. Oh, man. Yeah. Get your affairs in order. Yeah. Get your big haircut. Yeah. Is there a big haircut?

Oh, yeah. There's a big haircut scene. Big haircut. Oh, yeah. There's a big haircut scene. And he's in the vintage shop, like, trying to buy stuff from the 80s. Yeah. So he's buying that gambling book. An almanac. Gambling book.

Okay. And he, the woman selling it to him, I love the things that got wrong about this movie. But she says, oh, yeah, this is this gambling book. They keep it in a dust jacket. Yeah. Because this was before they invented dust repellent paper. That's very funny, dust repellent paper. That's very funny. Dust repellent paper.

Remember in the 80s when we were like, oh, this paper is just being weighed down by dust. Dust repellent paper is very funny. I like that they got that wrong. There's phone booths

in the future. Oh, that's true. That's wrong. Maybe they'll come back. Oh, that'd be fun. You go into them to use your iPhone. Yeah, we get some privacy.

Change into your Superman outfit. Is there a phone booth in the movie? No. No. He changes in his iPhone. He changes in a series of iPhones. Sure. My Overheard comes courtesy of, I think it was before watching Man of Steel, this group of guys in front of me.

We're trying to figure out what movie Warwick Davis was in. What fantasy movie Warwick Davis was in. See, Willow. Willow, exactly. They were close. They were really circling it. Well, first of all, they couldn't remember that his name was Warwick Davis. I wouldn't have known that.

So the one guy was saying, the guy from Life is Short. Yeah. Right? Which then got passed to the guy next to him who thought it was the Dark Crystal. And then somebody else said David Bowie. And then the guy next to him said, I don't... All he heard, he goes, I don't think Martin Short was in the Dark Crystal. That's pretty good.

Like watching a game of telephone happen right in front of you. That's really good. Yeah. I don't think Martin Short was in the Dark Crystal. He was also in the Return of the Jedi. That's right. Played an Ewok creature. And he was

also he's also Leprechaun, but he was also in. The rapping Leprechaun? Yeah, yeah. He's that. He's that Leprechaun. And he's also in one of the, maybe the first Harry Potter movies. Anything with a tiny character.

Warwick Davis was the go-to guy. Yeah, for a long time. Yeah, he always said a great career yeah we should all be so lucky no kidding uh now we also have overheards i mean we should all be so lucky um if you want to write uh hate mail to this uh podcast direct it to graham he's saying some pretty offensive things yeah absolutely Vis-a-vis luck. He's a leprechaun is what I meant. Oh, ouch.

He plays a leprechaun in like six different films. In like a lot. Yeah. And a weed-smoking one at that, right? Oh, yeah. The rapping leprechaun. He's a rapping weed-smoking leprechaun. These movies, sometimes these movies just sell themselves. We also have overheard sent in to us from people around the world.

Poland, Krakow. Those are the only places they know. If you want to send them in to us, you can send them in to spy at maximumfun.org. So this first one comes from Kate, who lives in Pittsburgh. Hey, Kate. Penguins suck. Whoa. Drag Kate Milne to me.

Yeah, exactly. Black and yellow. Black and yellow. Black and yellow. This was a, she calls it an over-experience, but I think it's an over-scene. This happened last year at work. calls it an over experience but i think it's an overseen uh this happened last year at work our secretary sent out an office-wide email with the subject this is not a joke uh one of our clients lost his glass eyeball in the office and she asked us non-ironically to keep an eye out

oh what how did that person leave without it? Yeah, exactly. They got in their car. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I'm not usually able to swirl my finger around in here. Or it's making a whistling noise as he's driving. The wind. Yeah.

It's got a hole in the back of his head, too. Yeah. He's got a hole in the back of his head, too. I think my dad told me his boss once sneezed and his glass eye came out. Like, so fast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you, how do you, if, let's say we were sitting here. You sneezed. Your glass eyeball goes away.

I can't. What would I do? Like, oh, let me get that. It can't be actual glass right? Otherwise it's smashing. Although I think it is. Yeah I think it's glass. It's like a marble. It's smashing. That's comedy

potential. You sneeze the glass eyeball flies out you're feeling around. You put a cat's eye marble in. Scare a bunch of kids. Comedy. It's comedy as I understand it. And you win all their jacks. I don't know how that game is played.

We had marbles in my house. I don't know who... I think my brother and I just used to whip them at each other. The rules of marbles were never explained to me. I think

every house just keeps a bag of marbles, you know, in case of burglars. Yeah, yeah. Setting up booby traps. Yeah, exactly. They're good for booby traps. I don't know. I played marbles when I was in school in Alberta. Jacks?

You played jacks? No, no, marbles. Jacks is with a rubber ball. Oh, really? Yeah. And they're like little. And it bounces and then you try and grab the jacks while the ball's in there. Oh, that makes sense. What is marbles?

Marbles, it's like curling or bocce ball. Like you're just trying to hit a marble closest to a thing without going in a hole. That's all it is. And then you win the marbles. Where's the hole come from? Oh, you dig it. There was a lot of divots when we were told

it's cool not to dig any more marble holes because it would really ruin the soccer field and people were twisting their ankles. Right, because of the widespread popularity

of marbles. It was huge at our school because you weren't allowed to play anything fun. We didn't. I don't think we did. They banned fun?

They took away the utility balls. That's fun they took away the utility balls that's what they were called utility balls because one kid kept kicking them on the roof of the school

classic problem classic one kid yeah so I don't think I don't think we did have anything else I think we had marbles somebody's dad

probably introduced the marble thing and then like you know people were like ah marbles who cares and then like the next people were like ah marbles who cares and then like the next week it was like marbles were it man

you could buy them they were super cheap but winning them was the fun it was weird how things would take over a school like oh suddenly everyone's collecting sports cards suddenly Susan remember when that was popular in elementary school?

I was so huge in my elementary school. We were more of a Caroline in the city school. Sybil. Oh, yeah. Yeah, nice work if you can get it. Oh, and if you get it? No, tell me how. Won't you tell me how?

Christine Baranski? Was she the co-star? Yeah. Ooh, oh alicia witt sure hubba hubba ding ding anyway so this next overheard comes from sherry in alaska um i was at the grocery store today and i overheard a very young boy exclaim i love gummy worms i peeked back because it was such a cute thing to say and saw what looked like a little boy and his older brother buying candy together. The older brother said to the younger brother, you know,

those aren't real worms, they're just candy. The little boy paused and then got such a sad expression on his face that I thought he would cry. He crinkled the package of gummy worms in his hands and said, they're not real worms. I don't want them anymore. And promptly thrust them into the checkout magazine rack.

It's a magical time in your life when you think you can actually buy worms to eat. Yeah. I like this at a bait shop. Yeah, absolutely. These worms are delicious. That kid, no, I guess he hasn't necessarily eaten them. No. He just thinks he likes worms.

Yeah, that he wants to eat worms. Oh, that's cute. Wasn't there – it was like a kid's book. How to Eat Fried Worms. How to Eat Fried Worms. In like a year, he's going to realize that he gave up one opportunity to eat gummy worms. He's going to hate himself. Yeah.

You're never going to get that back. It's so tasty. Yeah. Life is made up of these opportunities. That's what Forrest Gump told me. Life is like a bag of gummies. Yeah, life is like candy opportunities. Eat them.

Candy opportunities. Delicious candy opportunities. This last one comes from Justin in Toronto. I was in the public library recently, and two tough-looking high school-age kids came in and sat down at the same table as me with their saggy jeans and their baseball caps. So funny. They pulled out a computer. And conversation eventually turned to the party that night and what kind of booze they should order from their friend with a fake ID. They seemed to settle on some kind of malt liquor.

Friend one. 1.2 liters at 8% for $7. We're going to get so loaded. Math. Friend two, it says here that it will pair nicely with pasta, pizza, or fish and chips. Friend one, perfect, because D said there's going to be pizza. The malt liquor sommelier. It will pair nicely at this high school party where everyone's getting trashed.

Yeah. And just that they're so excited, like, we're going to do it. Malt liquor is beer. It's like a hard beer. It's like a hard beer. It's like a gross beer. It's like a gross beer in a gigantic container that has more alcohol and... It's Colt 45.

Yeah. Big Bear was the name of the big, like... Do you remember Big Bear? I remember seeing it in parks because people would drink beer. Yeah, absolutely. I remember seeing it in paper bags. Yeah. It was in Alberta.

That is a thing that I've, yeah, for sure. If you had, and malt liquor is really cheap compared to beer.

So I think like malt liquor maybe is like beer before it's finished or after. It's even quicker than liquor. Yeah.

And it goes great with pasta and pizza. Oh yeah. Fish and chips. You're going to want to carve up. Yeah, this is great for triathletes. Yeah.

There's going to be pizza. Oh, I like that. In addition to overheards that are written in, we also accept your phone calls. If you would like to call us, our phone number is 206-339-8328, like these people have. Hi, Dave, Graham, and guests. This is Katie from Indianapolis calling in with an overheard. I was just at a record store, and there were these two teenage boys there, and they were just flipping through a stack of CDs.

As I walked by them, I overheard one of them saying to the other, oh, my God, the All-American rejects. Yes! We did it! It just seems like the first one they would have found alphabetic. ABBA. Oh, we got it. I mean, I guess if you're a kid going through a record store, anything is exciting.

A hard copy of anything is exciting. They made these. Yeah. There are thousands of these in existence. Warehouse is full of them. Yeah. Yeah. Unsold.

Yeah. The kids, like, is it like in a movie now where, you know, like it used to be a gag, like you pull out a record and kid would be like, what is that? Yeah, how do you play that? But like, would like a kid like a little kid wouldn't know what how a CD works if they never had a computer that had a CD. I think they probably still understand because of DVDs. Yeah. But even still like DVDs, the kids know. Well, do they know it's Christmas time? First, well. Do they know it's Christmas time?

First of all, do they know it's Christmas time? Oh, boy. Feed the world. But do they? Kids? DVDs? Yeah, I think so. I think they know DVDs.

I don't think they know, like, VHS. They wouldn't know cassettes. Cassettes would blow their mind, right? If you gave a kid a cassette. Six songs on one side. If you were lucky. I don't know. Do you know cassettes?

No, you can get more. If you had a 90-minute cassette, you could get 45 minutes of songs on that side. What's that? That's like over 10 songs. Yeah, sure. And if you have one in your car, per side, it doesn't matter it flips

it over automatically that's true so the kids in this story yeah are they stoked because they know like their big hit from the like how what that's pretty much that's's the mystery of this one. Yeah. Never to be solved, by the way. No. No, there will be no follow-up. The lead singer of the All-American Rejects did a brief turn at acting. I forget what movie he was in.

American History X. He was some teenager. He was an adult all the time, playing a teenager. Oh, Grease. Oh, yeah, it was Grease. Here's your next phone call. Hey, guys was Grace. Here's your next phone call. Hey guys and guests. So I was on the train the other day

and these two women were talking to each other about how they had gotten to see Man of Steel early. And one of them said, why'd they call it Man of Steel? Why didn't they just call it Superman? And her friend said, well, the S on his chest stands for steel. Alright, great show guys.

The S on his chest stands for steel. All right. Great show, guys. I mean, you know, that's not the dumbest thing in the world to think. Steel isn't even that strong. Well, it's pretty strong. Stronger than bone. It's true.

You know? I mean, if you were a man of it, sure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. mean if you're a man of it yeah yeah yeah um well see but that's like if there was a scene where he was using like a metal grinder to shave then it makes sense if he's as strong as steel that a metal grinder could grind down his whisker that would be a good gag he's shaving and there's sparks oh man that oh that's the thing about man of Steel. Like, I can say one thing. There's not one attempt at humor in the whole thing. There's no jokes.

Oh, there's one joke. But it's like blink and you miss it kind of thing. But, yeah, like, I feel like wasn't that, like, the hallmark of the super movies? There's a lot of jokes about how dorky Clark was and, like. There's opportunity. Right? This grinder gag that we came up with. So funny.

I, um... Spark's going over... He's shaving off. Oh, man. I don't think I saw any of those other... Christopher Reeve ones. My only real exposure to Superman was Lois and Clark. Yep.

And even then it was five episodes. Well, at least you picked the best. The best of the five. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dean Cain. Dean Cain. Terry Hatcher. Right. That old dude is... What's his face? Perry Farrell.

I said, hey, you've a hova. And here is your final overheard. This one is an overdreamt. Ooh. Uh-oh. What's that mean? Hey, Graham and Dave and possible guests. This is Anthony from Western Massachusetts

calling you with an overdreamt. Had a stream last night. You two were doing some sort of live performance in the basement except Dave, you looked like exactly like Chuck Bryant, the one with the goatee from

the WCNO podcast. It was real weird. And Graham just kept shouting, let's play Hollywood Squares! And throwing a bucket of green slime just at the wall over and over. And I mean, it was nice. It was cool, but it wasn't that great of a performance.

Thank you. No, thank you. Yeah, now his dream is my dream too. It's Hollywood Squares. Sploosh. Classic Graham. Over and over. What a funny guy. Now he called back because he felt bad about saying we didn't put on a great show.

Here's that call. Hi, this is Anthony from Worcester. I just called and told you that you did the performance you guys did in my dream. It wasn't that great. I didn't, sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean it. You guys did really good.

I really like what you guys do. Keep it up. Oh, man, that's the greatest. That's like the opposite of the stereotypical shitty girlfriend of like, you were mean to me in a dream. No, you're right. I was too quick to judge.

I'm sorry for my dream. Yeah, you guys put on as good a show as you could have under the circumstances. What were you expecting from us? Well, I mean, I was doing my patented Hollywood Squares gag. And I was looking like a different podcast host. These are things that you're going to find out when you go to a live show. It's Hollywood Squares.

Let's play Hollywood Squares. I do like that you're throwing a bucket over and over again. Someone keeps refilling buckets with green slime. Oh, man. Oh, wow. Yeah, come to one of our live shows sometime. You gotta see it live. Yeah, you bring the wall, we'll bring the bucket of slime.

So that does bring us to the end of this year's show. No. Yes. Now, Amber. Yes. Like we said, you're a comedian about time. You're not just a teacher. You're not just a world-class mathematician.
