And our guest today, we figured out almost exactly a year ago, was the last time this guest was on. Very funny. Huh? I'm Brigadoon. You are Brigadoon. What's Brigadoon?
Starting point is 00:02:18 Look it up. It's an annual, is it like a wave that comes to Hawaii every year? Yeah. Yeah, and then you pledge. You pledge to which wave you forever want to ride. I don't know what Brigadoon is either. That's two out of the three of us that don't know what Brigadoon is. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:02:39 It's fine. It sounds Scottish. I think it's like a musical, but I think it's based on, there's a city that comes, like you can only see it once a year. Oh, okay. Or once every hundred years. I think every four years you can, on Leap Day, you can propose to a guy. Oh, that's true. Yeah, that's what that's about.
Starting point is 00:02:59 How long do I have? You're one half of the sketch duo. Improv. Not duo. Improv. Not sketch. Improv only. Why don't you write down some of your improvs? I might. Tegan and Sarah. Tell me what to do. Oh yeah, don't tell her what to do.

Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah, mm-hmm. Well, let's get to know us. Fun so far. Get to know us. So, Sarah, you have been everywhere. Literally. Yeah. In the last, how many months?
Starting point is 00:03:58 Last, say, three or four months. Yep. You've been on the road, traveling, improvising. No sketch. No, just make-em-ups. Yeah, right? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yep. You've been on the road traveling, improvising. No sketch. No, just make-em-ups. Yeah, right? Oh, wow. Do you do, like, does it change from town to town?
Starting point is 00:04:14 Your make-em-ups? Do you incorporate the local scene? Well, they change from Just references? She says they do, but I want to know. You know, you say, no, this is original to just this city, but then... Do you trot out your famed characters. Oh, yes. From town to town.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I mean, they say something different every town. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They've got their catchphrases. Always a quirky president. I don't know. Yeah. Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae. That's two of the funny characters that you guys do.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Yeah, Tegan's an amazing bus driver. The drunk bus driver. Yeah, Tegan's an amazing bus driver. A drunk bus driver. Yeah. Always. Oh, is that how every scene starts? She's driving a bus drunkenly. We're looking for a suggestion. Something that gets you drunk. Well, that doesn't really impact
Starting point is 00:04:58 the rest of the scene. I'm drunk on Zambuca. Yay! So you've been at improv festivals. Yeah. Is that primarily or just straight up comedy festivals or what? It's been a mix of both. We were just in Portland and that one was just, it was actually more stand-ups.
Starting point is 00:05:21 That was the first one we went to that was mainly stand-ups. And there was a few groups of us. How was that? Really cool. What was cool? Tell us about Portland. It was called All Jane, No Dick. Oh, a lady festival. A lady festival.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Oh, I only get it. Now I get it. But men attended. Whoa, whoa. Hey, hold on a minute. We've come a long way. Yeah, yeah. What about this No Dick ball? Oh, eunuchs. I get it.'ve come a long way. Yeah, yeah. What about this no dick ball?
Starting point is 00:05:45 Oh, eunuchs, I get it. Tons of eunuchs were there. No hermaphrodites, though. It was really cool, though. It was just a bunch of mostly American female comics. Really funny. And we have a crazy reverence for them because we don't do stand-up. And they seem to enjoy what we did did wondering why we do what we do basically
Starting point is 00:06:06 who portland no like the stand-ups most of the stand-ups were not from portland and they were wondering why you do what you do yeah just not having done improv or whatever it seems wondering why you do what you do or like like do that would they say things like why don't you just quit? Yeah. Sounds really jerky. Very heavily bullied. Just so mean. No, I think just saying you have to keep coming up with things instead of getting to like finesse things. Oh, okay. Sure.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah. Like our previous suggestion of writing down some of these things. Yeah, maybe we'll do it. Doing some sketch. Are there a lot of two people improv duos? Yeah. Yeah, maybe we'll do it. Doing some sketch. Are there a lot of two people improv duos? Yeah. Yeah, there are.
Starting point is 00:06:50 There are a lot. It's easy to travel. So easy to organize. We talked about this actually in Toronto, thinking that if there was more than two of us, we probably wouldn't have done as much traveling. It gets expensive. So you went to Toronto, you went to Portland, you went to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Starting point is 00:07:06 You saw Walter White's house. We did. And we bought blue meth candy. Nice. Are you sure it was candy? I think so. I gave one to my mom. Where do you...
Starting point is 00:07:16 What happened? I want to know, because you actually took photos out in front of Walter White's house. Yeah. Yeah. It's a small woman from Brooklyn that owns a house. Okay. And doesn't understand... How small is she? I want to... Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a small woman from Brooklyn that owns a house. Okay. And doesn't understand... How small is she?
Starting point is 00:07:27 I want to... Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's on an angle, like the driveway goes up. She was on an angle? Who was on the angle? It's hard to say. I've eaten a lot of that candy.
Starting point is 00:07:40 So, yeah, how small is this woman? Like, on a scale of real Pearlman, she's the smallest. Yeah, the smallest woman ever. To, like, I don't know, who's tall? Geena Davis? Oh, God. Oh, the whole Rihanna to Geena scale.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Who's Serial Mom? Kathleen Turner. Is Kathleen Turner tall? Sure. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Oh, Laura Prepon? Cheryl Swoops. Yeah. Tall ladies of the world, Sure. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Oh, Laura Prepon. Cheryl Swoops. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Tall ladies of the world, unite! Tall ladies of wrestling. Clow. So, how tall is this lady? I'm gonna go with a solid 5'2". Did you meet her? Oh, yeah. So, did she, like, give tours?
Starting point is 00:08:24 No, no. She just stands outside and ber? Oh, yeah. Does she, like, give tours? No, no. She just stands outside and berates you a little bit, but, like, in a delightful way. She'll just say, I wouldn't even cross the street to take this photo. Why do you do it? Just says that to every tourist. Like, she doesn't even know that her house is on the show. Why do you keep taking pictures of my house? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:43 It's exactly like the house. How so? It looks exactly like it does on television. Is there a pizza on the roof? That's what everybody... Aztec in the driveway. Yeah. If it was my house, I would put a pizza on the roof.
Starting point is 00:08:59 She said somebody did. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's going to happen like once a year. Like Jim Morrison's grave. Oh, like Brigadoo. Yeah. but he did oh really yeah yeah oh that's gonna happen like once a year like uh jim morrison's grave oh like brigadoo yeah yeah where they put pizza on the roof um yeah but like that's gonna be a thing for that lady in that house for the rest of her time yeah on earth yeah like people showing like that's a good Halloween thing.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I might go back and do it. Yeah. What, throw a pizza on a roof? Yeah. I didn't find out about it until later. About the pizza? The pizza thing. Okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I mean, she's, oh boy. Like, do you think, she doesn't charge any money? She doesn't let you in your house. So like, unless you met her on the incline, you wouldn't have to pay her any money. But, like, how does she spend the evening just yelling at people? It was the middle of the day, and there was at least three groups of us outside of this residential house. But when you arrived, was she waiting outside, standing outside?
Starting point is 00:09:56 Yeah, she's talking to another man. Don't come any closer. Really? So, does she know the show it seems weird it seems weird that she would at the same time acknowledge it but then not yeah go the full distance i guess she bought the house from the original owner this is the story she said skylar and walter once they started having troubles swooped right in because it's a great deal like cheryl swoops, swooped right in because it was a great deal. Like Cheryl swoops.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Cheryl swooped right in. Yeah. Her height opposite. Her height opposite. Her height opposite, Gullganger. So, okay. But the original owner signed all the contracts, did all that, then sold it. So they took the show to a soundstage, I guess, and recreated the inside, whereas they used to film it inside the house, too.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Oh. Oh, okay. So she bought the house, but she knew this was going to be a famous house? I guess. But she's not playing along with it? She's sort of playing along with it, but she just had that Brooklyn accent. Yeah. It's like how the people who work in the Mad Men office, there's tourists who always come and jump out the window.
Starting point is 00:11:13 There's always a guy falling from the window. Take my picture! Putting on a suit, jumping out the window. Just a black silhouette suit. Yeah. But, like, the house from the the amityville horror uh-huh that was uh like eventually the couple that the movie was about they moved out because they said it was crazy haunted right and then another family bought it and had no problems with it except that people
Starting point is 00:11:44 kept showing up at the house to take pictures of the house. And they were like, well, this is terrible. This is worse than it being haunted. So then they moved out. Haunted by tourists. And then I think another family moved in and had to re-decorate the outside of it so it didn't look. Oh, so no one would take pictures. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Because that was just like gonna be their life in that house for the rest of the time so i assume that's what's gonna happen because it's an actual house yeah that looks like the house from the show yeah it looks exactly like that oh yeah you said that earlier you pointed that out was there a pool in the back i didn't go to the back oh you should go to the back i bet it is there yeah to the back. I bet it is there. Yeah. I'm going to go with a pizza next time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:28 And a bathing suit. Ding dong. I'm back. Remember me? From one year ago? Exactly. Happy anniversary. I'm going to throw this pizza under your roof.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Keep making eye contact yeah dipping sticks um okay so uh aside from the walter white house what other breaking bad attractions did you see well we did that candy lady i guess she made all the meth for the show too uh-huh but it was blue candy uh to the car wash you did oh yeah what else do you what else can you possibly do in albuquerque uh what my aunt lives there too i know well but like so you can go visit her yeah what does she do what's her whole thing uh she's super new age and works in a hospital oh yeah like she read my cards a bunch whoa whoa whoa whoa were there a lot of crystals in the home what kind of hospital does she work in
Starting point is 00:13:28 like is it just like a yurt kind of thing I think she's at the university or something oh so she actually works in an actual hospital the yurt university but not like a hospital where people show up and they're like ah my chakras are all show up and they're like, ah, my chakras are all messed up.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Like a witch doctor. And they're like, yeah, yeah. Let me blow this crystal dust in your face. Ooh, I don't like the pattern it formed. Get them to the ER. The experimental room. Yeah. I don't know what she does in the hospital, so she could do that.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I don't know. Well, what does she do? Is she like a nurse? Doctor? No, I think it's like a medical tech or something like that. I don't know. Well, what does she do? Is she like a nurse? Doctor? No, I think it's like a medical tech or something like that. All right. But then in her off time, she's like, this is the real. She mostly read my cards.

Starting point is 00:17:33 Our favorite one this summer was Detroit I think Tell us about Detroit Great city What's on the road? Midwestern vibes They took us to an abandoned zoo Good night Keep going Yeah Was it from the TV show? Was it the same as the one in vibes. They took us to an abandoned zoo. Good night.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Keep going. Was it from the TV show? Was it the same as the one in We Bought an Abandoned Zoo? We Abandoned a Zoo? And then Matt Damon swooped right in as he does. So you went to an abandoned zoo? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Was it abandoned by the zookeeper or by the animals by ford they it's just uh it's like a 10-year abandoned zoo and it was the most amazing thing we went with the gentleman from hip bang um so a vancouver sort of crew tom hill and devin loheed mckinsey devin loheed yeah formerly devin mckinsey uh we went all together with a local man that drove us everywhere and then just like took us to the back of it popped the fence well oh so this is not uh this is not a legal tour wow but it's, but it's like modern, graffitied everywhere. Like polar bears rule. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Penguins suck. Yeah. Yeah. We took some good pictures. Yeah. It was like Jurassic Park in there. Did you go in the enclosures? Oh, we went in everything. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:18:57 It's overgrown. There's nobody there. That's kind of how you would describe the whole city, downtown proper at least. Right. There's beautiful parts, but then there's so many things that are very new looking, but then completely abandoned with pigeons and stuff like that and graffiti. So the pigeons kind of rule that city? Yeah. Oh, awesome.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Probably better than their former mayor. I don't know. The former mayor was also a pigeon. When you say that you're the only ones in there, there aren't other nosy tourists also in there? Potentially, but it's so big. It's a giant zoo. Is there like... I never thought of...
Starting point is 00:19:34 Yeah. What could you stage there? Like what kind of gladiator fights? That's what we were actually thinking because they actually have an octagon sort of viewing spot from the top. You can look over at whatever they used to house dog fights yeah yeah so are like the areas that would have glass is the glass all broken or is that still intact uh i'm gonna say it's broken but there was parts that were full of water underneath we were basically in the upper walkway okay so i don't i don't think they had glass on top. I have a feeling wherever the animals were
Starting point is 00:20:05 kept inside, probably. Right. Like, there's walls. Not really glass. But you know, like, what did it... Oh, so like, cement and bars? Yeah. Is this like more of a jail-looking kind of zoo? Yeah, it's gray. It's a really gray and, like, overgrown zoo. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:21 You have to be a real tough animal to make it into a Detroit Zoo. There's no animals in there at all? There's not even one gorilla that they left behind? No, there's a lot of peacocks that overrun that entire island. What? Yeah, rogue peacocks. Wow, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:20:36 This place called Belle Isle that was built by the guy that I guess that did Central Park. Oh, okay. Central Park, I don't know. Just, yeah, just an island. A giant island. Giant island. Thomas Edison. Where?
Starting point is 00:20:49 The Wizard of Central Park. It's just in downtown proper. They even have races around it, like IndyCar or something. I'm so sorry if I'm butchering this entire segment. Oh, it's fine. No. It's been butchered. Yeah, it's not used.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I don't want to kick a dog when it's down. So open wheel racing. Yes. What? Kick a dog when it's down. So open wheel racing. Yes. What? Kick a dog when it's down? Is that the expression? Yeah, you beat a dead horse. Yeah, with a dead dog.
Starting point is 00:21:11 When you're fighting a dog, don't kick it when it's down. Let it get up so you can punch it in the face. So I'm trying to picture this in my head. There's an island with water around it? Yeah, I think it's man-made. Okay. But it's in downtown. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I mean, I guess it works like counties. Like a Granville Island or Toronto Island. Okay. So this is where the zoo. You can see Windsor right across. It's just on the water that divides it. You can't see my hands. They weren't helping.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Just voguing. You went into scary abandoned zoo. Were you there at night? No, daytime. Too scary. Too scary. Any other abandoned? I think it would be fun to go in the winter and like snowy abandoned zoo. Yeah, but the thing is I don't think you'd see where you're
Starting point is 00:22:01 stepping and there were some ground issues. Oh, holes? Like pits? I think. think you'd see where you're stepping and there were some ground issues. Oh, holes? Holes. Like pits? I think. Like you would fall through the levels. Bottomless pits. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:10 But that'd be a good way to go. That's as good a way as any, right? I've always wanted to die in a zoo. Die how I lived. Yeah. Yeah, breaking into zoos. That would be a pretty fun... You know how engagement photos are the worst thing ever?
Starting point is 00:22:27 I think, but, you know, breaking into an abandoned zoo and having those photos, where, like, one of them's dressed like a zookeeper and the other's dressed like various animals. You have to bring a lot of costumes. Or you think it's abandoned, and then in all of your pictures there's a gorilla that's creeping up on you. Just always a gorilla? Yeah. And, like, as the pictures, as you go through the pictures, it's getting up on you. Just always a gorilla? Yeah. And as you go through the pictures, it's getting closer and closer.
Starting point is 00:22:47 And then finally, when you get your film back, you realize you've been killed by a gorilla. And he's wearing your tongue. Yeah. Now the gorilla's engaged to your fiance. And now you see the photos of the future with the baby. And they're very happy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Oh, man, that half gorilla, half human. He signed his own vows. Yeah, me, Amy, you, where's your cardigan? When's the last time you went to a zoo? Legit. Oh, I went in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:23:26 What? Yes. All you do is travel to zoos. You're on the Midwest Zoo Tour. That's a good, yeah, that Midwestern attitude. No Midwestern vibes, I think is the term. They're hardworking, childbearing hips, zoos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Oh, man. Salt of the earth gorillas. Those accents, though, did you know that that's the general American accent? Which one? The Midwestern accent. What does that mean? I guess all those newscasters from whatever decade, like the 70s or 60s, when people were really being pumped out. And we're told to talk like that.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Google it. But it's not like the harsh Chicago accent. No, they say it's like epicenters around Detroit, so the Michigan, and it's sort of expanded. Along the panhandle there. Yeah. I don't know. Along the mitten.
Starting point is 00:24:24 But what, because isn't it the Southern drawl? along the mitten but what because isn't it the southern drawl isn't that what people associate as the American accent? No, for like news news anchors like Tom Brokaw I think he's from Pennsylvania I think he's got that kind of putzel thing stop it
Starting point is 00:24:38 I was telling myself to stop it he swallows his L's I was telling myself to stop it. He swallows his L's. So what else? What other? You've been to Chicago and Detroit and Albuquerque. You've done it all. Yeah, and we went to Philadelphia, too.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Oh, tell us about it. You're like the Anthony Bourdain of improv. I know. I don't know. What did you see that was cool in Philadelphia? Just America. Oh, yeah. How America was made. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:13 That's true. There's a Liberty Bell there. Did you see that? Is that anything? Yeah. Tegan got a photo taken in front of him, but dang it. Whoever positioned it. Her body just blocked the bell
Starting point is 00:25:29 so it's just a picture of her with like little the little cones from the bottom of it just like oh man by her neck cause she was standing so far ahead of it perspective wise who took the picture she got mad it perspective wise. Who took the picture? She got mad at me afterwards.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Why did you step away? She had to ask somebody else. This is our one chance to get a picture of the living room bell. My favorite bell! It's a pretty good bell. Wow. Did you see the steps? The rocky steps? Yeah, we saw the
Starting point is 00:26:04 rocky steps. We ate some cheese sticks. Did you see the steps? The rocky steps? Yeah, we saw the rocky steps. We ate some cheese sticks. Did they have cheese whiz on them? Yeah, I got mine with cheese whiz. Were they gross? They were pretty good. Okay. I think you're just saying that to save face. It's gross, right?
Starting point is 00:26:15 We ate it for breakfast right before our flight. Yeah. Oh, as you were going out, you're like, oh, we got to do this. Yeah. What do you have to eat when you're in Chicago? A deep dish pizza. Yeah, or Chicago style flan.

Starting point is 00:27:08 You have to get an animal to take you into that one. Humans take you into the zoo. That would be scary engagement photos if he's creeping up. Kid Rock. His wife feeder
Starting point is 00:27:19 and track pants. And his crazy red fedora. Now when you say that there's a Kid Rock museum, it's not a... It's like Kid Rock presents history, right? Yeah. It's not the history of Kid Rock. It might be a combo.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Well, sure. I feel like you get to make music and stuff like that, though. Kid Rock style. Why? He never did. Boom! So that was closed. Like, forever closed?
Starting point is 00:27:49 Like, abandoned? He's an American badass. We got there too late. You can roll with rock, or you can radio edit. You get to find, oh, at the museum, you get to find out what goes in all those radio edits. Shocking. Yeah, the radio edit wing. Just added.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Bawit the bar. So what else? What else did you see? I've never been to any of these places. So it's all fascinating. Probably for most of them, we wouldn't have ever gone. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:17 They're one-offs. They're not like major cities. Whoa. No, no. But you know what I mean? Because if you're not from the country, usually you're not going to travel right across it. Yeah, you're not going to go to Detroit and back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:29 No, that's true. Although, I do think about going to Detroit. Detroit was the best with no irony. It was just great. Yeah. Really cool. What was your favorite thing you saw in Detroit? I think that...
Starting point is 00:28:40 That weird abandoned zoo. She just told us for 20 minutes. That thing was so cool. That seems pretty cool. And then you go into the city and there's all these Art Deco buildings that are just abandoned. Yeah. The train station, just gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Abandoned. Abandoned. There's all these plants that used to make tanks and stuff like that. Abandoned. Graffiti. Yeah. Great graffiti. Oh, great graffiti?
Starting point is 00:29:01 Oh, yeah. Huh. Yeah. Yeah. They used to make tanks. America's still using tanks. Yeah, but they outsource them. Oh, they graffiti? Oh, yeah. Huh. Yeah. Yeah. They used to make tanks. America's still using tanks. Yeah, but they outsource them. Oh, they get Japanese tanks?
Starting point is 00:29:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hybrid tanks? Yeah. And, uh... No, they, uh... I don't know where they get their tanks from. Not from Detroit, though. Hey, America, if you're listening, tell us where you got your tanks from.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Where'd you get that tank? Yeah. Kid Rock, tell me where you got your tank if you're listening. Yeah, exactly. Oh, man. It's Detroit. Kiss isn't from Detroit.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Yeah, they are. They're from New York. They're from New York, yeah. Yeah, but they sang about Detroit. Oh, yeah. Everyone sings about Detroit. Sure. The movie Detroit Rock City, they sang about Detroit. Oh, yeah. Everyone sings about Detroit. Sure. Like Brigadoon. Yeah, the movie Detroit Rock City, they just go to see Kiss, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Yeah. At the zoo. That would be good. It was the grand reopening of the zoo. At the Psycho Circus. I'm just really glad that Kiss is still touring around. And will until I'm dead. They look great.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Oh, absolutely. Never better. They wear a little more makeup now. Yeah. But they're going to keep going. They're going to keep going until... Jane Simmons turns to dust. No, no.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Even after he's dead, they're going to figure out some sort of robot situation. He's working on it right now. He's working on... Do you think they'll have a Vegas show? I feel like they'll have a Vegas show. I'm surprised they haven't. Yeah, I feel like they've probably tried and failed at this point. Celine Dion could just sing for them.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Or like a Cirque du Soleil. Oh, a kiss. There's guarantee they've tried to pitch that. And Cirque du Soleil's been like, we're willing to put our name on anything, but not Kiss. Well, no, they've done The Beatles and Michael Jackson. It's kind of a step down to Kiss.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Oh, huge. Once you're at the Kiss level, then it's like, why not just do a He-Man Cirque du Soleil? Yeah, a Ted Nugent. Oh, actually, I'd go see a He-Man Cirque du Soleil. Yeah, with starring Ted Nugent. Music by Ted Nugent.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah, the Motor City Madman.. Music by Ted Nugent. Yeah, the Motor City Madman. Stage managed by Ted Nugent. Yeah, often I look in the program, who's stage managing? Oh, Ted Nugent is. He's just calling the show. So he's got a headset on and he's calling everyone
Starting point is 00:31:19 F word for homosexual and shooting people. Yeah, he's just backstage with all sorts of guns. With a crossbow. F word for homosexual. And shooting people. He's just backstage with all sorts of guns. With a crossbow. He gives the whole cast a gun before their first show. Good luck. Also gonna release a bunch of pheasants
Starting point is 00:31:37 into the theater. The F word for homosexual. Pheasant. You're on a five, pheasant. So, Dan, what's going on with you, man? Last night, last night I went to a hockey game. Yeah. The local squadron, the Vancouver Canucks, playing
Starting point is 00:32:01 the Washington Capitals. Yeah. Classic rivalry. Yeah, exactly. squadron the vancouver canucks uh playing the washington capitals yeah classic rivalry yeah yeah exactly um and it was fun and it was great um and the best thing about it well one of the best things was that uh at the end sort of near the end of the first period uh they started playing Phil Collins. Like, I can feel it coming in the air tonight. And then the announcer comes on and says, ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to welcome a special guest this evening. And Phil Collins is just watching the game in a luxury booth. And they just put the camera on him and he's there with his daughters and they're laughing at him.
Starting point is 00:32:47 They're like, Dad, Liv sings your dumb song. Do the drum solo. Wow. So does Phil Collins love that? Does he wave? He waves. He looks a little embarrassed. He looked like the camera was on him a bit too long.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Yeah. Yeah. Why is Phil Collins here? little embarrassed like he looked like uh the camera was on him a bit too long yeah yeah what's uh why is phil collins here oh his big washington capital he's not estranged daughter yeah maybe they're not estranged they're not estranged it's just estranged wife i think yeah well ex-wife yeah i think you can just have an ex just a not everything's a class a classy affair oh my estranged wife um uh yeah and then um between the first and second period they bring out a bunch of like seven-year-old hockey players to play and it's super cute and it's fun. They wipe out. They're terrible at it. Timbits. Yeah. I don't think it's called that here. What is that? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:33:50 The Timbits. Isn't that what they call the tiny team? Yeah. They're sponsored by Tim Hortons. I don't know. This is all news to me. This is when I first learned about wiener dog races. I didn't know that they had just kid hockey that came out. Oh's i didn't know that they had just like kid hockey they came oh
Starting point is 00:34:05 you didn't know that well no between the they've always done this for like years and years and years they bring out just local teams i don't know i used to play hockey i don't think i ever how tiny of kids are we talking about like seven or eight yeah okay so they really just like look hilarious yeah and they're wearing like huge jerseys that come down to their knees. Oh, pretty cute. And while they're playing hockey, they were playing Susudio by Phil Collins. And I just thought that it would be great if they just played Phil Collins songs all night long to pump up the crowd. And they just started running out of good ones.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Can we only play Phil Collins? Can we use Genesis songs? Yeah, yeah. I Can't Dance. That's the only other Phil Collins song I know. Oh, there's the one from Tarzan. Oh, no. Oh, there's the one from Tarzan.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Oh, no. What? The power to be strong, the boldness to be bold. I forget what it's called. I don't know much of Phil Collins' catalog. I know Air Tonight. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Sulbota. Sulbota. And then... I Can't Dance by Genesis. Yeah, and and then that's it i don't know what else what i can't hurry love uh wasn't that a cover though he didn't write that did he yeah he covered it was that the one where he did a music video with the ultimate warrior really yeah the ultimate warrior beats him up yeah gilbert godfrey's in it yeah it's probably in the air tonight Really? Yeah, the ultimate warrior beats him up. Yeah. Gilbert Gottfried's in it. Yeah, it's probably in the air tonight.
Starting point is 00:35:53 He did the one with the spitting image puppets. Oh, yeah. Wave of confusion, ball of confusion. Don't know it. All right. Anyway, I just thought it would be funny if it was on. I came into this hoping you guys would know a lot more about Phil Collins I confuse him for Peter Gabriel Oh, you mustn't
Starting point is 00:36:09 They've both been Genesis lead singers Yeah But not during your lifetime How do you know so much about Phil Collins? How do I know so little about him? I once went in one of those 4D experience things to a Peter Gabriel song It was like, jump in the water.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Yeah, kiss that frog. Yeah, that's the thing. And we did. We did. It was a little frog experience where our chairs moved. What? Yeah, we were jumping in the water. Where is this?
Starting point is 00:36:38 It was in a parking lot in Surrey, I think, as a child. The Peter Gabriel experience? In Surrey just go in a box and listen to steam and it gets really steamy like hammer
Starting point is 00:36:51 and just hear a bunch of hammers at work when I was a kid Peter Gabriel was my favorite musician like really
Starting point is 00:36:59 looking back it makes no sense yeah like he's a super boring guy I guess the only thing that makes sense is he always had really cool music videos that were, like, fun. But, like, now I can't even remember the guy's name we were talking about. Phil Collins?
Starting point is 00:37:16 Oh, no. He, didn't he, like, he looked like an old man, like, super early on in his career. Like, he looked like a super old guy. Because he, like, he just has, like, old man like super early on in his career like he looked like a super old guy because he like he just has like old man he looks like i always confused him and bob hoskins so i would see a picture of bob hoskins and then i would be like oh yeah phil collins same guy oh god they did a movie together yeah did he act in something who phil collins no bob hoskins yeah bob hoskins no i know phil collins no i know bob hoskins is an actor but no yeah phil collins was definitely Who, Phil Collins?

I'm Hutch. What's Hutch? Is that a thing? No, it's a China Hutch. No, but I was just wondering if that was an actual smudge. Anyways.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I'm looking at Phil Collins. It is. It's Buster. Wasn't that what it's called? According to IMDB, he was in the music department of the movie Tarzan. Oh, really? Phil Collins? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Didn't he sing at the end? Oh, I thought that Peter Gabriel was the one that sang the Tarzan song. Oh, I don't get them confused. What did Peter Gabriel sing? Didn't he sing a cartoon song? Jump in the water. Yeah. Kiss a frog.
Starting point is 00:39:03 I'm actually just singing that to smoke in the water. Jump in the water. Yeah. Kiss a frog. I'm actually just saying that to smoke in the water. Jump in the water. Touch. It was Buster, right? Oh, the thing he acted in? Yeah. The thing what he acted in? Oh, he played a voice in the animated movie Balto.

Starting point is 00:40:00 And he played Inspector Good in Hook Oh he's in Hook. Yeah. I thought that was Bob Hoskins. I was sure of it. I thought that was Peter Gabriel. When I was in grade six or grade seven, my parents went to England, and I told them to bring me back something English. And they brought me back two CDs.
Starting point is 00:40:27 One was Phil Collins. I believe it was called But Seriously. That was his stand-up. It's the one with Another Day in Paradise. Okay. Oh, yeah. I know that song. And the other British thing they brought me was the Right Said Fred CD.

Starting point is 00:41:21 like in zz top there's one guy nope, not shaving my head, guys. I'm in this band and I love it and I don't want to quit, but I don't want to shave my head. He was shaved head and mesh shirt. Yeah. And I thought it was like, isn't that a thing? It was two guys, like two twins, not twins, brothers. Okay. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:42:23 So, well, Phil Collins, welcome to Vancouver. Yeah. He's a listener to the show. He's a regular. He sends it over. He reads all the time. They're never funny. Just making up stuff that he heard Phil Collins say.
Starting point is 00:42:35 The really cool things. Wait, he is Phil Collins. Yeah, but he just goes anonymous. Oh, yeah. Or things that people are saying about Phil Collins. Or he writes it anonymously. He says, hey, I heard another dumb thing Phil Collins said. That's what I was picturing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Or like good things. Yeah. Like talking about how much sex he got last night. How much sex did Phil Collins get last night? Oh, he took those Tarzan-like amounts. Yeah. You know Tarzan? Famous sex guy? Yeah. All the 10-like amounts. Yeah. You know Tarzan? Famous sex guy?
Starting point is 00:43:06 Yeah. All the 10-bit moms. Boy. Yeah. Well, no, because, you know, he got up on the Jumbo. That's on the Jumbotron. Like, that's at least good for... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:16 He was on the Kiss Cam. Yeah. And just turned around and made out with him. Yeah, he did that cool thing. Oh, wow. How old are his kids? Probably like six or something. He's probably still having kids.
Starting point is 00:43:29 I think his daughter's an actress. Yeah, they're in their 30s. His daughter's an actress? Maybe 40? Yeah. Oh, wow. What's she been in? She's been in a show called Madison.

Starting point is 00:43:46 Really? Yeah. Cool. Will Sasso was on it as well, I think. Yeah. I don't remember. I learned a lot. I learned Sarah, Sarah Strange, local actress was on that.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I learned a lot about life from Madison. Sure. Yeah. Sure. I did. Fine. Fine. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:44:02 All right. So I saw Phil Collins on a jump. That's great. Yeah. Thanks. Kind of un. Fine, whatever. All right. So I saw Phil Collins on Jumbotron. That's great. Yeah, thanks. Kind of unbeatable, really. I didn't see any Jumbotron anywhere. Didn't see Phil Collins anywhere. Didn't know he was in town.
Starting point is 00:44:14 He never tells me he's in town. All I see on his Twitter, just leaving YVR. Thanks for the great time. I didn't even say hi. Thanks, bro. Well, we just recorded on Saturday, so not a lot has happened to me since then. Oh, I watched the entire first season of Orange is the New Black. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:44:37 So have you seen this picture? The picture? The talkie? Yes. This series? Yeah. It's not a tv show it's not on tv no it's not a tv but it's series yeah 13 episodes i watched the first episode yeah and then i was and then abby was like uh i left the room and i was like oh you can watch the next episode without me. And she watched the next 12 without me. Yeah, I felt they're made, right? These Netflix shows are made to batch watch.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Like they don't release them over time or whatever. So you just, you get the whole season. And there's no reason to not just, unless you have a life or important things to do. There's no reason to not just watch one after the other after the other. Well, they know that that's what we're going to that's why the dvd thing yeah weekly yeah so like i watched the whole if you watch the whole thing oh yeah yeah it made first of all uh made prison seem a lot more fun than it probably is yeah well women's prison yeah yeah but like even even women's prison. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But even women's prison, I would think, would be scarier than... It's like a lot of...
Starting point is 00:45:48 Everybody's doing favors for each other. It's kind of like people are just kind of getting to understand each other's needs. Yeah, all the murderers are just misunderstood. Yeah, but there's hardly any murderers in it. There's like one. One murderer. There's an old lady. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Spoiler alert. Yeah, and she's just stern. I guess. Yeah. Well, it's not really a spoiler. Is Monster in it from that Charlize Theron movie. Yeah. Spoiler alert. Yeah. And she's just stern. I guess. Yeah. Well, it's not really a spoiler. Is Monster in it from that Charlize Theron movie? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:11 He or she is in there. Did you not know? Yeah. Anyways, it's really good, but it's, I don't know. Anyways, it's really good, but it's, I don't know, like you watch 13 episodes, so 13 hours spent by myself watching the show. And then, will there be another season ever? I have no idea. Yeah, I think they're filming, but Laura Prepon quit.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Yeah. What? Yeah. Are you kidding me? No, I'm not kidding. That's like half of the show. I know. It's like Simon and Simon, if one of the Simons walked away. Which one? away you're just gonna have to introduce that there's a death row and yeah somehow oh it
Starting point is 00:46:51 got off for good behavior oh that's weird well now that i know that i don't think i don't think i would watch it anymore she's one of the main characters anyway you watch any of the other netflix series is the cards you did? Yeah, I loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Do you know that Kevin Spacey's accent in that is like the American accent? The general swag.
Starting point is 00:47:14 I don't know. It's Southern Charleston. Wow. Those are a lot of words. I'm going to let myself out. A lot of words just tumbled out of you. I don't even think I meant to stop at swag. I just stopped.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Did you see the... I'm so sorry. The Arrested Development? Yeah. All of them? No. Did anyone not give up on that? Meh.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Yeah. Like, it's... I get it. It's a fun way to watch television. Well, probably it's more fun if you don't watch. Because I watched 13 episodes of it by myself, and I'm like, hey, I want to talk about it. To who? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:53 To people who watched it six months ago? Yeah. Or, yeah, nobody wants to talk about it. So it's just I've seen it, and that's like my dark secret. I just have to deal with all the emotions on my own. Where does it take place? In a jail. I know, but what?
Starting point is 00:48:08 Like, could you go visit the jail? Oh, yeah. Like Sarah visited the? Upstate New York. Oh. Maybe on your Rust Belt tour. Yeah, yeah. The thing is, remember the show Oz?
Starting point is 00:48:22 Yeah. I remember of it. Yeah. Graphic. Very graphic. is remember the show oz yeah i remember of it yeah graphic very graphic but also i felt like i was like this seems like there's too too much violence in this one like i don't think jail is as bad as this but i don't think jail is as nice as where can we just get a jail show right down the line that's just what jailails really like well maybe you should write it well yeah i should i don't know anything about jail um we went on a walking tour of a prison in
Starting point is 00:48:54 philadelphia that was narrated by steve buscemi what oh like an audio an audio tour it just shut down but it's really cool. This is boring. Upstate something. I can't remember. But it's right in Philadelphia. It was the state pen at Penn State. Yeah, and it was notorious, like the most violent in the history of Americas. So you walk
Starting point is 00:49:17 through, you have headsets on, you're listening to Steve Buscemi. Eh. Eh. Is he from Philadelphia? I don't even think so. No. He's from New York, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:49:30 I don't know. He was a New York firefighter. I know that because he, during 9-11, he rejoined the fire department to help out. That was a famous... Then he was like, help me carry this. I'm so weak and spindly. Anyway, he's a hero. He just made everybody's job harder.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Just like, I forgot how to, oh, I dropped your tool down the drain. I haven't lifted weights in 20 years. Yeah, he's just on the end of a hose that's just spraying around in the air. That jetpack water thing. Where's Steve? Pretty great. Yeah. ground in the air that jet pack yeah water thing where's steve pretty great yeah anyway he's he's a guy who volunteered after 9-11 and we're making fun of him um but like anyways uh is this what my question is this is all lead up to the question is this the future of entertainment? And if so, do I have to watch these shows with somebody so that I have somebody to talk to them about?
Starting point is 00:50:34 The way it works is like... I have somebody to talk to. Because you watch 13 episodes of a thing and you're like, well, I'm going to find somebody who's seen it. No one else is tweeting about it. Yeah. Because they watched it. If they cared, they would have watched it when it came out. Yeah, but it's like, it doesn't matter when it came out. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:50:51 Yeah. They just put out all the episodes at once. But it's not something, like, I remember with Arrested Development, people got excited, like, oh, two more weeks, six more days. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a countdown, and then nothing. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Then it was like, these episodes are really long. Every episode, I guess you could talk about it just after it happened. And be like, hey, no spoilers this week. I'm not caught up yet. Versus just knowing that you watched it until like 5 in the morning, resting
Starting point is 00:51:20 pizza on your stomach or something. Yeah, that's all that happens. At the end of it, you're just like, well, I watched them all. Now what? Do you want Netflix to offer you a service where they ask you to write a book report? Or connect you in a forum
Starting point is 00:51:35 with everybody who just finished the episode. Here, who else is watching? Although, that's the most terrifying function that Netflix provides. It's like, tell everybody what you're watching on Facebook. No. No. Oh, that sounds horrible.
Starting point is 00:51:48 What if I accidentally tell them I watch something... Graham's watching Jack and Jill again. They don't have pornography on Netflix, do they? No, but they have stuff that would be embarrassing. You're like, oh, I'm going to watch this documentary. Then you get bored 10 minutes in, and you're like, ah, just watch Ghostbusters again. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Moneyball usually keeps me entertained. Oh, yeah. That's something that pops up on Facebook. Graham is pretending to watch. Yeah. Something about oil, but is actually watching. Oh, I watched Ghostbusters 2 again. I saw it on TV the other night yeah uh that's the
Starting point is 00:52:28 argument right there for no gust ghostbusters 3 yeah is gustbusters yeah gustbusters is the anti-wind service ghost hutchers um that my favorite part of that movie is when they've found out about vigo the master of of evil, trying to battle my boys. That's not legal. Um, did you just want to sing that, that part of the song? No, I mean, I could do more if you would like. Um, yeah, it's not, uh, there's no jokes in it. That's what you, you realize you're like, oh, they're just really trading on the fact
Starting point is 00:53:04 that you're watching a Ghostbusters movie there's no actual oh there's one part where they uh um that is the only joke in the movie they're harmonizing yeah so uh anyways uh what i'm saying is the future of television is gonna to be lonely. It's lonely. Because at least a movie comes out, it's in the theater for a certain amount of time, and you saw it or you didn't see it. And there was like, but like, I don't know, when did this TV, when did this show come on Netflix? Who knows?
Starting point is 00:53:39 Nobody knows when it started. It was just there. It was like the springtime. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, fuck. But then if you miss it, like, just don't watch it it because then you're just going to be by yourself just watching it you're gonna be like that was great nobody cares nobody wants to talk about it recommendation
Starting point is 00:53:53 thing though like i think i recommended that top of the lake show from netflix to some people and then as soon as they were done the conversation started or is it that facebook feature where it says oh i'm watching this and then people talk with you about it on facebook but then you ignore it until yeah block block um is it yeah it's as frustrating as reading a book because you're like no one does that at the same speed oh yeah finishing a book is just like the darkest place to be you're like i put a lot of work into this and now nothing nothing can't add that to your resume yeah and it's just done like there's no oh good i'll look forward to the sequel book like maybe sometimes there's a sequel
Starting point is 00:54:39 book but you know when you finish a book you're just like oh that was the worst I fell asleep so many times why did I read that page so many times yeah yeah yeah now what do I do with this book I gotta get rid of the evidence that I read this book and then someday somebody will be like have you ever read this book and you'll go yeah it was alright
Starting point is 00:54:58 like that's the most when was the last time you got in a conversation about a book maybe when it came into a movie. And you're like, was this as good as the book? Yeah. And you're like, I like the book more. It was better. Or are you like, I like the movie more?
Starting point is 00:55:12 I think it was about Great Gatsby. Oh, yeah. I hated that movie. Oh, the new one? Oh, really? Yeah. It was better than the book. The book didn't have J.C.
Starting point is 00:55:21 The book didn't have Lana Del Rey. Oh, maybe it did. She was in the flap of the yeah yeah she she was uh she wrote the foreword oh anyway so that's all i did was i watched a whole thing of a thing that nobody gives a shit that i watched it i mean it was good put it on your tombstone oh i should watch all 13 episodes. And you know what? It does, though. It makes me think, like, because when you watch your thing about prison, you're like,
Starting point is 00:55:50 you start thinking, like, what kind of skills do I have? What would I bring to the prison? Oh, man. Nothing. Me. Me, nothing. Yeah, but that's the thing, though. You say that.
Starting point is 00:55:59 All those references. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. That's true. If there's someone who really wants to talk about Peter Gabriel. Yeah. And the Between Two Worlds tour. But the main gal on the show, she doesn't have any special skills.
Starting point is 00:56:14 But everybody in the prison is like, oh, you're so smart. And she ends up writing people's appeals for them because people don't have the skill to write. Sure. So you yeah stuff like that if the prisoners want to start a prison podcast i can edit it for them see what would you bring what would be your special skill shanking i don't know oh yeah oh so you just bring in a real a real world prison skill i don't know i shanked a lot of people on the outside what would you you know you must have something do you have a skill can you do something what am i fighting off is it the violence no you just you're just making yourself a valuable prison uh member you're bringing in
Starting point is 00:56:57 something you know like whereas somebody might be really good at holding people's head in a toilet and drowning them right like that's like their thing they did on the outside what are you dancing okay yeah so you could be in the like summer pageant yeah you can choreograph it you can choreograph those thai prisoners i'd like to be like the silent person for a year and then just break out like that woman in a beautiful aria in the pageant what are you talking about she doesn't talk the whole time oh that's right nobody bothers oh i haven't seen it yeah yeah spoiler she's uh one half of a magic act in the prison she never talks the other one never shuts up but the the one trick they don't know how to escape out of prison did you know that Penn and Teller have a deal
Starting point is 00:57:46 with each other that every hundred years they switch who talks it was a terrible deal for Teller every hundred years what would you do what skills would I bring I don't know I don't think I organization I think of uh
Starting point is 00:58:06 of gangs by by by uh preference of uh like you know i wouldn't see they feel like always in the prisons the gangs are sorted along racial lines oh but that doesn't necessarily benefit everybody gang wise no right like some gangs might be more interested in just being the gang what does drugs all the time. Yeah. So all those guys should be together. Not a very, like, menacing gang. No, that's the thing. But that's where my skills come in.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I look at everybody's skill set. Oh, you're like a mortgage broker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm like, your gang is great, but you don't have a good knife guy. Here's five knife guys that don't have a gang. I'd be like a prison matchmaker. Exactly. You're the gang that does drugs.
Starting point is 00:58:54 You're the gang that gives drugs for free to the other gang because they can't pay for them. They have no prison money or prison skills. They're on drugs all the time. I mean, there's that one guy who takes speed. He does stuff really fast. Yeah. He's good. Need him to fold. I feel like I could do those. I always see on the documentaries about prison that they figure out how to use
Starting point is 00:59:17 noodles to make a delicious meal or using Fanta packets. Oh, you mean like noodles? You mean cooking? No. That's the worst example delicious meal or using Fanta packets. Oh, you mean like noodles? You mean cooking? That's the worst example where it's like taking He used noodles to create a delicious meal. Taking lemon
Starting point is 00:59:33 Kool-Aid and then combining it with something weird to make a lemon chicken. Oh, right. In the microwave. But not chicken, like using chicken noodle. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. Making weird meals. But why do you think chicken noodle? Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Making weird meals. But why do you think you would be good at this based on the two things that you just proposed? Making food out of noodles.
Starting point is 00:59:53 I would be trying very hard for the first two weeks to find something I was good at. And I'm not a breakdancer, but that came to my mind. So you'd be like, guys, I can breakdance. Everybody's like, all right, let her breakdance. You're like, I don't know. Actually, I'm just lying. I don't know how to breakdance.
Starting point is 01:00:11 I would be good in prison if they needed someone to avoid eye contact. Yeah, I don't know. Because, you know, it'd be good if there was a tech guy, a guy who knew some stuff oh yeah a hacker sound engineer what are you in for i murdered
Starting point is 01:00:37 oh well um anyway so that's what i did and you're going to move on to and Cirque du Soleil. Oh, well. Anyway, so that's what I did. Do you want to move on to over-erds?

Starting point is 01:02:24 I heard the same thing. Oh, my God. I was standing in an echo chamber. It was, yeah, I was on a subway in Toronto just recently, and there's two girls sort of 20-something gabbing, wasn't really paying attention. Was it a mirror? Gabbing away. paying attention who was it a mirror um and just talking to myself yeah and started to finally pay attention uh and then uh one of them goes um he fools me once shame on me fools me twice shame on doug and part of me wondered if that wasn't even his name

Starting point is 01:03:43 It's funny. Yeah, fuck that guy. Oh, man. Dave. Yeah, you're right. It's funny. Yeah, fuck that guy. Oh, man. Dave, you overheard? Okay, mine is a... Well, it's an overheard. It also comes from the hockey game I went to last night. Would you say that's the best game you can name?
Starting point is 01:03:58 Yeah, the good old hockey game. And I was... I went with my co-worker, Ben. I'll call him my friend. Upgrade. Yeah. I went with my friend, Ben. And we're both hockey fans.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Did either of you wear a jersey? No. Okay. We're not, you know, buffoons. Yeah. What's the dividing line? I don't know. Jerseys, I feel like, have gotten way more affordable in the last 20 years. Because when I was a kid, it was really weird for people to...
Starting point is 01:04:35 I mean, I still feel like they're super expensive. Yeah, when I was a kid, you had a jersey. And that was the jersey that you wore to like play ice rink hockey and like street like you just had a like i had a team canada jersey right and that was my jersey that i had for childhood right that's because your mom wrote a letter to mr eaton and he sent you the wrong one because he was a fan of team Canada. Yeah, I really wanted a Team America sweater. Yeah, and so you went to your church and you prayed for some moths to eat it. This is, for the non-Canadian listeners, this is a classic Canadian tale.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Is it called the Occy sweater? Yeah, maybe just the sweater. The sweater. You know this? No. No, really? I don't think so. Oh, it's in my childhood.
Starting point is 01:05:27 All of the children, they worship Rocky Richard. Do you not know? Wow. Good night. Good night, everybody. Yeah. It's a Roquefoisine story? Oh, Louis Le Grenouille.
Starting point is 01:05:42 It's Rochecarrier, is that the first name? Rochebeau. Anyway. Rochefoisine is like a French Canadian singer. Yeah, the verse's name? Rush Bobois. Anyway. Rush Vazine is like a French Canadian singer. Yeah, I know. He's a very handsome singer. Wow. I was joking. Get used to it.
Starting point is 01:05:51 But it just brought it back to me. He was like the Phil Collins of New Brunswick. The Phil Collins of New Brunswick. I think he was a maritimer. I know, but just that is such a specific title. Some call him the Phil Collins of New Brunswick. Like our culture is so vast that we have room for every equivalent. Who's your local Phil Collins?
Starting point is 01:06:26 The provincial one or the town Phil Collins? So we're at the hockey game. We're watching it and something super unusual happens. A guy, one of the players, the blade comes out of his skate. Oh.
Starting point is 01:06:44 That happens quite rarely. Yeah. And it's hilarious. Because he's walking all funny? Well, it's hilarious for a bunch of reasons. Like, he's a big, strong athlete who can't figure out why he keeps falling down. And then it's just such an unusual... Like, you've taught yourself to skate for 20 years,
Starting point is 01:07:05 and then you can't figure out the mechanics of having one skate that's just plastic on the bottom. And so he keeps putting that down and wiping out. And at this point, everyone... It's the revenge of the nerds right here. He's in his own zone, and all the other players are on the other side of the ice So he's by himself
Starting point is 01:07:25 The play is still going on But he can't go anywhere And he can't figure it out And Ben and I are losing it And the woman behind us Thinks he's broken his leg And so she's like Why isn't anybody helping him?
Starting point is 01:07:44 He's broken his leg! Why are you making fun of him? Wow. Just skate through the pain. Skate through the pain. Skate it off. Because if he had broken his leg, he would just be lying down and they would stop it. Put him out of his misery.
Starting point is 01:08:05 He doesn't want to live. But he did kind of look like a horse with a broken leg. Oh, wow. Yeah. I don't think I've ever seen that before. That sounds really great. Yeah. Who won, by the way?
Starting point is 01:08:18 We did. Awesome. Good for us. By default. By skate broke. Yeah. They had to forfeit. We ran out of skates.
Starting point is 01:08:25 They count your skates at the beginning and at the end and if the numbers don't match up, you forfeit. They bring out the bean counter. Everybody does the wave. It's by weight. Yeah. Oh, boy. So that was mine. You? Yeah. Mine is an overheard.
Starting point is 01:08:41 There's a couple in my neighborhood, there's a few regular panhandlers uh outside it like they uh frequent regular spots there's two guys that frequent outside the shopper's drug mart yeah uh one guy who doesn't matter what amount of change you give him he acts like you just handed him like a ruby. He's just like, wow! I've seen him do it for a dime, for paper money. He's great. He's in for a penny.
Starting point is 01:09:11 He's in for a penny. He's my favorite. Because he always is just like, wow! Thanks! And so he's great. And then there's a couple way old guys. They've got to be pushing up on like kind of like late 70s. And they both look like they must own their own cattle ranch at some point.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Like they both are cowboys. But you don't live in a cow neighborhood. I don't. Yeah, exactly. I don't. There's a shopper's drug mart. Yeah. One guy stands out in front of the Bilo grocery, and then there's another cowboy guy that he's sometimes in front of the liquor store, sometimes in front of the shopper's drug mart.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Anyways, I was coming out of the shopper's drug mart. And these are panhandler. These are panhandler guys. Ranchers. But yeah, like in full, and they've dressed like cowboys, like cowboy hats, crazy cowboy mustaches. And when you give them money they kind of say something like yeah they say you know sir or well if a lady did it they'd say ma'am yeah yeah but much obliged yeah exactly so they're great and um one of the staff of the
Starting point is 01:10:21 shopper's drug mart was saying something to the guy and like accusing him of something or whatever and i only just caught the tail end of it kind of rustling uh and he said this is great because he said uh i've never been in your store so beat it before i get my old lady down here to deal with you. I was like, wow, this guy's got a wife. Or mother. Yeah, that's true. But, like, can you just have that? Like, if you're married, is that part of the marriage arrangement that your wife has to
Starting point is 01:10:55 come and fight women that you get in? That's the danger of writing your own vows, is that it can be interpreted. That's true. He put that in his vow yeah i i will uh i will brand all the cattle that you ever need me to brand but if i get in a fight with a woman you have to fight her yeah anyways it was great because it really that was the end of the argument was because he could make threats he's not going to be able to make good on but if i get my old lady down here and you're in big trouble has he never been in the store before?
Starting point is 01:11:26 Do you believe him for one second? Is it the story that he stands outside all the time? Yeah, but I don't think. What's in a shopper's drug mart for an old cowpoke like him? They don't sell whiskey. I don't know. Something to rub on your saddle sores? That diabetes brand.
Starting point is 01:11:39 The old guy on the horse. What? Diabetes brand what? The old guy on the horse. What? Are you talking about? Brand what? See you later. Type B. Type B's brand. I'm going to look it up when we're done.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Okay. It's like an old white haired man on a horse. Oh no My memory It's not Wilford Brimley Is it? He's the guy who says diabetes Diabetes?
Starting point is 01:12:17 Is he on a horse? There's a commercial with him on a horse What's it a commercial for? And what are they selling? I don't think he's selling any. He's not selling a brand of diabetes stuff. Diabetes brand? A suntan lotion.
Starting point is 01:12:34 I thought it was for medication for diabetes. Like for an insulin thing. Diabetes brand diabetes medicine? It's really the brand we can't get over like band-aid versus yeah bandage hey when you were a kid yeah do you remember if the band-aid sniffle thanks sorry do you remember if the band-aid uh song was i am stuck on band-aid brand or did they just stick in the brand in the last few years? I think they did because it was one of those words, right? Kleenex, Xerox, Band-Aid.
Starting point is 01:13:12 Frisbee. Yeah, like it's the brand becomes the word. So I think they did. They inserted brand because it was. I was stuck on Band-Aid because Band-Aid stuck on me. But then it's like rhythmically weird. I am stuck on Band-Aid brand. Do you But then it's like rhythmically weird. I am stuck on Band-Aid. Brand!
Starting point is 01:13:28 Do you know who wrote that song? Russell Brand. Barry Manilow. Really? Yeah. Wow. He wrote that? He wrote... You're going to do great in prison.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Yeah. Hey, you guys, Manilow trivia time. Yeah. Who wrote the State Farm jingle? It was Manilow. Prison trivia night. Winner gets a shake. Or not, if he doesn't want one.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Depends what you mean by gets a shake. Gets a shank or gets a shanken. Depends if you're watching Oz or not. Guys, we also have overheards that have been sent in from around the world. If you want to do the same out there in listener land, you can send it to spy at maximumfun.org.
Starting point is 01:14:14 This is the first one comes from Maria H. in Chelmsford, Ontario. Was it Chelmsford? Chelmsford. Ontario. Was it Chelmsford? Chelmsford. She wrote recently, didn't she? Unless we have a lot of listeners.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Chelmsford, who's your local Phil Collins in Chelmsford, Ontario? This is from all the way back in August. I was in an urban planet. I'm not sure what that is, but hats and shirts, I think. I was in an urban planet jerseys
Starting point is 01:14:47 yeah jersey absolutely tank tops mesh tanks mesh or no yeah yeah um i was at an urban planet in the mall and as i was looking at a shirt i witnessed this guy hey ladies if you need anything let me know both girls look at him with disgust girl one okay girl two we won't shame on doug yeah we won't just doing my job. Yep. Sorry. Sorry, ladies. Sorry for bothering you. I love that that wasn't just one person. We both hate you. We won't. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:31 We won't. Now that we've dissed the guy at Urban Planet, what do we do now? Let's go make fun of the guy at New York Press. Do you want anything with that? No. We don't. I can't stand talking to a salesperson unless like the 1% of times when I need to. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:51 But I would never be like, oh, we won't. Like, I get it. Yeah. No, I'm just browsing generally works. Yeah, you don't have to really slam the guy in the process. It depends on the question they ask. Sometimes you come in and they're like, did you find everything okay? And you've just
Starting point is 01:16:07 barely come in. Like, well, I found what I was looking for, but there's so much more out there for me. So many more tanks. Yeah, I don't think, I can't remember the last time I was in a store where a salesperson
Starting point is 01:16:23 tried to help me. Oh, no. Like, I don't,, I can't remember the last time I was in a store where a salesperson tried to help me. Oh, no. Like, I don't, it's, yeah. So that's not, that's as bad a feeling as the being approached right away is like, it's not going to bite. It's not a waste of time. The only employee who says anything When you come in Is a guy talking into his walkie-talkie Yeah, so you
Starting point is 01:16:48 You just walk up to people Say, good, you Hope they start talking to you Nice and warm in this store You do wear those Fingerless gloves Where's a flaming barrel I can warm my hands with? I always put on a little soot
Starting point is 01:17:07 before I walk into the store so I'm not disturbed. This next one comes from Joe Beth. All one name. Joe Beth. In Chicago. Is the B capital? Yeah. Oh, yeah, classy. Pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:17:23 If you could capitalize one letter in the middle of your name, what would it be? The H. Yeah, for me it would be the I. The A. Nice. Oh. Which one? Second. Oh. Oh, yeah. Awesome. I was in a bar recently, and a man
Starting point is 01:17:42 walked in, sat down next to me, ordered, and began talking to the bartender. Somehow, they got on the topic of the customer's Hawaiian shirt, which they talked about for a couple of minutes. Eventually, the bartender said, it has palm trees, a guy in a canoe, everything you'd want in a Hawaiian shirt, and walked away. As he did so, the customer said, somewhat dejectedly, yeah, except it wasn't made in Hawaii. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:12 We've all got secrets to tell. That's what the bartender said. Looks like something's bothering you, buddy. I don't want to talk about it. I'm a fraud. I'm walking around like I know so much about Hawaii Well
Starting point is 01:18:28 How long Did he say how long the bar Or did she say how long the bartender was talking to him? Couple of minutes Okay It's too long to talk about a shirt Yeah Well I mean like
Starting point is 01:18:39 Yeah you say Oh my dad had a Hawaiian shirt Oh cool In summation It's got palm trees, guy in a canoe. It's like flat on the bottom. It doesn't have that little. Yeah, it's not intended to be tucked in.
Starting point is 01:18:52 No tails. Yeah. Why are shirts made like that with the scoop shape? I don't. Well. Because you're a guy who understands fashion. But they're so you can tuck them in and you don't have too much in your pants, I guess. Right, if you made it.
Starting point is 01:19:09 If it was just flat all the way around, it'd be too much. It'd be like tucking a hockey jersey in your pants. Yeah. But I guess. That's a pretty funny look. I don't know. There's got to be a reason, right? I have a shirt right now and it goes like whoop.
Starting point is 01:19:24 I know. There's got to be a reason. I have a shirt right now and it goes like whoop. I know. And there are shirts that I've tried to tuck in to things that like as soon as you sit down, you have a little bit of skin showing at the top of your hip. Yeah. Maybe it's for sweaters. Because if you wear, you guys wear sweaters over top, like full sweaters sometimes, right? Over button down. And then if you had it fully, it would probably pucker out the sides that's a lot of design that's like the standard shirt though has this yeah this scoop why you know for just sweater purposes no it's not for oh yeah we won't in the middle
Starting point is 01:20:00 in the middle of sweaters oh no when we Diabetes brand sweaters. Oh, no. When we were on break, Sarah was swearing up and down that Chris Maloney was married to one of the Dixie Chicks. And we found out that not only was that not true, it was, like, not even close. Like, it was impossibly far away. Who Chris Maloney actually was married to, and actually who was married to one of the Dixie Chicks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:23 There was no crossover. No, and they're both happily married to other people actually who was married to one of the Dixie Chicks. Yeah. There was no crossover. No, and they're both happily married to other people for a very long time. But I like that you wouldn't give it up, that you were like, wait, wait, did she used to be married to Chris Williams? I don't know who did this to me. Was she married to another Law and Order actor? That's right. Or was she married to another bald actor yeah we went down a lot of that
Starting point is 01:20:47 husband used to be bald yeah and then grew his hair back um all right this last one comes from uh ohio from jp in ohio this is uh while crossing a foot traffic bridge, I passed a man carrying a small baby. As I passed them and got out in front, I began to pass people walking the other way. I heard a girl in her mid-twenties say to her friend, What would you do if that guy just threw his baby under the bridge? What a crazy thing to say. What would you do? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:21:34 You know that show, What Would You Do? It's like hidden cameras. John Quinones. Yes. But it's always like a slight, like, should I or shouldn't I? There's never a guy whipping a baby off a bridge it's always like a guy being mean to his date but then like 50 of the people wouldn't do it yeah a lot of people pretending they didn't see it people stifling their laughter depending what color
Starting point is 01:21:58 the person is that's what they always do is that right yeah yeah they'll be like they'll have a whatever they tried it with a brunette woman and a blonde woman and then, yeah. Which one had more fun? Which one was better at getting thrown off a bridge? Yeah. What would you do? Bridge edition. Yeah, would you congratulate the dad?
Starting point is 01:22:22 Here's somebody who comes up and starts patting the dad on the back. Good job. What was wrong with that baby? Good work, man. We've all wanted to do that. But seriously, what would you do? Dive and save the baby? I guess you would.
Starting point is 01:22:38 You can't save the baby. No. Baby's so little. You'd probably kill yourself. Yeah, exactly. I'm judging you. I mean, I don't know much about this this foot traffic bridge it sounds like uh yeah it sounds like crazy like you're walking
Starting point is 01:22:52 into a real bad end of town yeah they should demolish that bridge so the bad element just stays where they are i you i whenever i walk past um uh fire alarm, I always have a tiny temptation to pull it. Yeah, absolutely. I bet that person, whenever they see a baby, they have a tiny temptation to whip it off a bridge. What would you do? I don't know. I don't know. Would we still be talking?
Starting point is 01:23:21 I don't know. Like, put this in full context. Am I me? Yeah. Wait wait who are you yeah are we friends yeah check again uh in addition to overheards that are written and we also accept your phone calls so if anyone wants to call us we urge you to do so. Take it upon yourself to type these numbers into your phone. 206-339-8328. Hey, Dave and Graham. This is Jason from Surrey calling in with an overheard. I was at a
Starting point is 01:23:58 local rec center pool the other day waiting for someone, and while I was waiting, there was a woman sitting there chatting on her cell phone while watching her son in swimming lessons. And she had all sorts of gems. But I think my favorite one, she was in the middle of an angry conversation
Starting point is 01:24:15 on the phone and she said to her friend, I don't know why I can't find a job. I mean, I majored in general studies, so I should be qualified for pretty much everything. The problem is you're too specific. You're too qualified. Yeah, I studied a little bit of everything. We're worried if you take this job as a lawyer, you might become a doctor later.
Starting point is 01:24:39 You might get wooed away. Yeah, we assume because you know a little, you could be a travel agent or an archaeologist. What is general... Can you get a degree in general studies? I didn't know you could do that. Yeah, I mean, that just smacks of... What makes a general like you need to be...
Starting point is 01:24:59 If you focus too hard, you don't get the degree. Yeah, on the test it says, essay question, please be fake your um uh your diploma is just a trivial pursuit with all of the wedges in like every different color flawless victory now um what we're talking about general studies yeah what we're talking about just now yeah i lost track because all of a sudden i started thinking about how it's not like lou reed passed away this week yes a week ago to the listener that's right and that there was a story in the paper today about how lu big yeah like all sorts of people were like like r.i.p lu
Starting point is 01:25:55 yeah there was only one lu people and that was the dividing line like you're either familiar with lu reed or lu big it's like you're either a Star Wars guy or a Star Trek guy. Are you a Reed or a Bega? Like, people didn't even just care. Like, they just heard Lou and they were like, oh, no, Lou Bega's dead. R.I.P. Lou Bega. Man, the headlines for his death are going to be something.
Starting point is 01:26:23 Yeah. Heaven just got a little more, a little bit of Monica. We're going to need a bigger plot. We're going to need a bigger plot? Oh, because by the time he dies, he's super fat. And also, he was eaten by a shark. And they can't get him out. Yeah.
