Starting point is 00:01:01 So if you're confused why you missed 420 this weekend, I guess you're a pretty big drug head. Yeah, exactly. Because you really get into 420 in a big way. Yeah, I'm super stoked about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On account of, is that the terminology? I'm stoked? No, you're super rad.

The Edvard monkeys. And our guest today, returning guest, hilarious comedian, actress, lovely lady, Miss Amanda Brooke Perrin.
Starting point is 00:01:42 I'm so rad right now. No, no. I've never done drugs is that how you sound when you do them that's how you sound i mean have you ever had alcohol alcohol's a drug yeah caffeine's a drug yeah endorphins that's the natural drug i guess. He's the... Christ is my number one drug. I guess I do do drugs. Let's get to know us. Now, Amanda, is that true? You've never done drugs?
Starting point is 00:02:19 No, I have. But I feel like... That took no time at all uh twist my arm um i yeah but i feel i i don't do them now because i'm not cool enough to do them how do you figure that people who do drugs as adults are cool this is a real thing this is a real story i was in a marijuana circle you know like it from that 70s show or whatever so there's a rotating camera there are errol morris yeah the uh do you know errol was it errol morris he directed all those uh scenes from uh is it errol morris the documentary yeah but he has uh in all of his documentary films, he has, this bit would have been gold if I knew the reference.
Starting point is 00:03:13 But did he do the Fog of War? Mm-hmm. They have a, the camera is behind a screen. Right. It's like a teleprompter, but the interviewer and, uh, the interviewer's face is on the screen. So it's like when you're being interviewed, you're looking into the camera, but you're looking into the,
Starting point is 00:03:32 the interviewer's eyes. Oh, wow. And that's, uh, he, he, and that's why they did that for that 70.
Starting point is 00:03:40 So you were in, I understand some kind of drug circle, a drug circle, a drug ring. It was a drug ring, Lord of the drug circle. In a drug circle. A drug ring, they would call it. It was a drug ring. Lord of the drug ring. And Frodo Baggins offered me.
Starting point is 00:03:49 No, another comedian. A dime Baggins. They were like, hey, you want to get in this? And so a comedian was handing me a joint. And I was like, oh, it's okay. I'm okay. And then he said, said what you don't party and i've never heard someone so confident and awesome and then i felt like i was just like a
Starting point is 00:04:12 grandma at a party sunglasses he should have been in this nighttime the only time to do drugs 4 20 at night um so did you do the drug no i i because you that's when you is that when you realize you weren't cool enough yeah and like i fall asleep when i smoke it so it's just pointless for me graham and i smoke it every day yeah crack cocaine we have um a couple's uh drug pipe yeah are you going on a vacation tomorrow then yeah a 420 A 420 vacation? Yeah, I'm going. Just, you know, I'm going to open up my mind. We're cruising for bruising. You're going to go to the beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio?
Starting point is 00:04:52 Yep. Yeah, we're getting good. Oh, and the beautiful Virginie Le Doyen. Oh, she's so pretty. Yeah, but then you don't... Marijuana isn't the only drug. You could take one that boosts you up. You pills. That's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Like if someone says, hey, do you party? I assume that means cocaine. Yeah. It was a joint though. Unless it was like another drug in a fun cigarette shape. Yeah, yeah. They do that. I don't know drugs.
Starting point is 00:05:20 I like tea a lot though. Tea and naps. What about you guys? So does tea also put you to sleep? Tea. Oh, get some chamomile in this bitch. And I'm like a light. Wait, are you the bitch?
Starting point is 00:05:34 I'm the bitch in that scenario. Feminism. Okay, I'm sorry. Do you apologize? Chamomile, is that caffeine free? Chamomile, yeah. Yeah, it? Chamomile, yeah, yeah. It's caffeine-free, made out of flowers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:48 It's delightful. It tastes really good. Is that the one with the bear in a nightcap? Sleepy time bear, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Would you ever sit in like a tea circle? Is that how that works?
Starting point is 00:06:00 Pass a cup of tea around? Hey, what's up? Do you nap? Yeah. I feel like circles feel illegal so maybe not like if there was a like a circle of people doing something it's usually no good what about drum circles that's yeah that's the worst kind of drug in uh toronto they have a lot of those in the summer. Drum circles. Yeah, not here. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Luckily, Vancouver has avoided that. Oh, God. You probably have so many. Yes, of course. It's on our city's crest. It's a big circle of drums. Is this Matthew McConaughey and a bongo? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Does Matthew McConaughey and Jack Johnson, did they ever... Kiss? Do it? Yeah. Seems like they would run in the same circles. Yeah, I think they would. Who do you think of those guys would make a better, like, pancake breakfast? Oh, well, Jack Johnson.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Jack Johnson. Banana pancakes. For sure. How do you know that he was writing that about his own banana pancakes and not Matthew McConaughey's? Well, I've never heard the song. Matthew McConaughey would use, like, flax seeds to make his pancakes. I don't think Matthew McConaughey's. Well, I've never heard the song. Matthew McConaughey would use, like, flax seeds to make his pancakes. I don't think Matthew McConaughey makes his own.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Like, I think Matthew McConaughey maybe got successful so young that he never needed to learn. No, he probably makes pancakes for his kids. Now what you gotta do is... Like, is that your Matthew McConaughey impression? No, is that your Matthew McConaughey impression? Yeah, did you accuse me of...
Starting point is 00:07:26 I tried to blame someone else because I was scared. Now you've got to do this. You've got to do this. Is it Phil Cosby impression? We've got to have some banana pancakes. I'm Matthew McConaughey. We're eating banana pancakes. The front row at the Los Angeles Lakers game.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Wait till they get a load of these beautiful toys. Enema. I'm my own hero. Do you remember? Did you see his speech? I didn't get what was the problem with it. I sort of zoned out. He just, he thanked himself.
Starting point is 00:08:11 He thanked himself in the future. Yeah. Future self. And then future self appeared behind him wearing a metal hat. It was a hologram. You're welcome. Yeah. So tell us, Amanda, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:08:24 What's new? What's happened to you since last we spoke? Yeah. So tell us, Amanda, what's going on? What's new? What's happened to you since last we spoke? Yeah, you've been on once here and once live in Calgary at our soberest episode ever. The weirdest bar. People kept sending up tea shots. Yeah, we had so many shots of rooibos. We got so sleepy that night. Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 00:08:50 What has happened? I'm here doing shows. Yeah. The comedy mix, which is nice. And I've been writing for television, which is exciting. Tell us about it. Oh, okay. which is exciting.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Tell us about it. Oh, okay. Okay. Time to back up that claim about how exciting it is. Good follow-up question, too. Thank you, thank you. She didn't see that curveball at all. I did.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I don't know why I said that and then didn't expect you to say something about it. Fair, fair. It's great. Okay. And, no, it's great okay uh and no it's it's lovely i'm you also act i act you write what have you written for i wrote people who are like oh okay i'm satisfied she said it's great i just assume people go to imdb immediately when they um i know i wrote for a show called mother up which is an animated show
Starting point is 00:09:46 starring evil on gorya so that was fun making her say things and did you ever meet her no no no how hard would it be for you to get assigned eight by ten i feel like i'd have to do it just like a regular fan does. Have no connection to Eva Longoria. Yeah, no, I wouldn't be able to. So that's not one of the perks of show business. No, absolutely not. She didn't come down and meet the people who wrote the scripts. No. She didn't get on a Skype call and say, hey.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Hey, guys, I'm just making some banana pancakes here. I'm going to mail you some. I should do more Skyping in the nude, but in the kitchen. I feel like I have a... It's got a good activity buzz around it. Yeah, you're just stirring a thing at all times. Because any Skype call I've ever had, it's either I'm sitting in an office chair or I'm on a couch.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I'm never multitasking. That's because Skype freezes every two seconds. Well, I mean, you know. Uh-oh, Skype on blast. Yeah, this episode's sponsored by Skype. Oh my god, oh no. My parts will be muted. It's fine. So you wrote for this show.
Starting point is 00:11:07 What else did you write for? Spun Out. Well, I just did punch up writing for a few days, which was cool. And then I wrote for the George Trompe-l'oeil list tonight for a week as like a guest writer. And how was that? It was fun. Did you get to meet him? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Eight by ten? Yeah, eight by ten for shiz. Yeah, he's a lovely gentleman. Raw vegan. Couldn't do that. He is a raw vegan? Yeah. Is that new?
Starting point is 00:11:35 I don't think so. Because he looks skinnier now. For any Americans listening, George Strombolopoulos is a TV host. Who's now? He hosted a show for 10 years i just yeah yeah it didn't seem that long um it really whipped by when you're having a good time it just whips by on the canadian broadcasting corporation that was sort of a it was an in-studio talk show not a comedy show although they tried tried. He bought it with them. And then now he's going to be a hockey commentator.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Yeah. That's fine. That's how Canada works. Mostly in Canada, to be a hockey commentator, you've got to be a raw vegan. Mostly. They either get former hockey players or the handsomest raw vegans on television. And you act in things, in commercials and televisions? We were talking upstairs that you mostly, if there's any commercial in Canada that has a flustered woman in an office, you're that woman. I'm the go-to.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Or if you need someone to like be unmotivated or have no confidence get this guy on the phone because i will be there you're this guy now i'm this guy oh i refer to myself as a guy i've never seen you in a commercial where you played the unmotivated person i know i'm sure you must have, but I've never seen it. I've seen you in the office, maybe eating Skittles? I don't remember that commercial, Graham, but I was in a fruit commercial, ate a lot of grapefruit. You actually eat the grapefruit in the commercial? Are you a raw vegan? I'm a raw vegan.
Starting point is 00:13:28 fruit yeah okay are you a raw vegan i'm a robbie no um i i did a uh kit kat commercial and there so at the end we take a bite of it and apparently there's a thing called a spit bucket which i didn't have at all can you explain what that is i can't imagine what uh show business terms are very is it a bucket of spit that you drink yeah yes uh you take it in between each take and it gives you the strength of each take. And it gives you the strength of everybody who's fat. It gives you the confidence to go on.
Starting point is 00:13:50 And so we would take, myself and the other person in the commercial, we'd take a bite and then he, but he wasn't using the spit bucket so I didn't want to
Starting point is 00:13:58 like hold up production so I just kept swallowing after every take. And that's what he was doing? And he was doing that too. And by the end of it we had taken 48 bites of a chocolate bar. And I felt so sick. Sounds like a Friday night.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah. Regular. I mean, I can usually eat a Kit Kat in... 48 bites? I can eat 10 of those in sound bites. I would guess, what, there's four segments? Yeah. Each segment, two bites. Each segment, 10 bites. Oh, 10, 12 bites. I would guess, what are those? Four segments. Yeah. Each segment, two bites.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Each segment, 10 bites. 10, 12 bites. I can eat. Yeah. I would have. And usually I would eat like 100 Kit Kats a night. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Yeah, no. Because you're a raw vegan, right? Yeah. That's what raw vegan is. Every time you say that, I think you're saying Ravi. Like Ravi Shankar? Yeah. Raw vegan.
Starting point is 00:14:52 So did you learn your lesson or no? You went on to another commercial where you were eating grapefruit and ate a bunch of grapefruit? Yeah. Really? I'm too scared to ask for extra things. Hey, where do I spit? In the back of your mouth and then into your stomach. Yeah, reverse spit.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I felt too bad asking for stuff. Badass? Yeah. I felt too badass. I felt too badass. Me and Robbie, we're a couple of badasses. So, tell us more. Tell us more about what's going on.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Tell us things. Absolutely. I live in a basement. Okay. Alright. This must be fun for you. You're in a different basement right now. I know I'm in a different basement. This one's nicer, actually. We have an ant problem. Okay. So that's
Starting point is 00:15:43 an exciting part. And then I have mice in my vents above my bed. So I guess. Why are you trying to get out of Toronto? I don't understand. I don't know what to do. Help me. I had ants last year. What did you do?
Starting point is 00:15:59 But they were in your pants. They were in my pants. But I love to dance. That's true. What we did was vinegar, because they follow a scent trail. Yeah. So wherever ants have been walking or marching, as Dave Matthews would say, maybe they're under the table and dreaming and you just wipe that down with vinegar i tried that try it again no um because i've tried everything have you tried
Starting point is 00:16:33 pouring hot water on the anthill i tried that's there's no hill it's i think it's coming from under the fridge um just pour hot water under the fridge so So I tried the hot water. I tried the vinegar. I tried, apparently, ants don't like the smell of lemon. Who knew that ants had noses? Not I. I mean, I guess it's the same as the vinegar. Yeah. And they don't have noses.
Starting point is 00:16:57 They got these antenna things. Antennae. Antennae. And then I finally just got raid and shouted a lot. See you in hell! That's what I was saying. I did it. And then we have mice.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And we, like, I've been, you use steel wool. If there's any sort of, like, areas where the baseboards or there's any holes in the wall, you can shove steel wool in there and then caulk. She just barked. I think Dave just puked on his microphone. I was trying to say C-A-U-L-K. Caulk? Caulk? And then I said it wrong.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I got shy. You barked because you were nervous. I barked because I tasted shy. You barfed because you were nervous. I barfed because I tasted it. But then you cock it up. And it was working for a few days, but then the mice are still getting in somehow. So I'm going to have to get mouse traps. I know exactly where they're going. I'm just going to have to deal with dead bodies.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Are you scared of seeing the dead bodies? Yeah yeah what if it turns out it was like a human a human in the trap that leaves tiny little yeah yeah like he's been setting up a mouse but really you've got a human that's like an x-files episode it's like that video remember there was a video of a guy that like he set, he thought somebody was stealing cookies? Yeah, or something. And then it turns out there was somebody living in the cabinetry in this house, right? I remember that. That was terrifying.
Starting point is 00:18:34 No, I don't know that. I'm just saying. Well, just open up all your cabinets before you go to bed. Just knock on everything and see if somebody goes, hello. And if they do, get out. Get out. That would be so pleasant though hello hello mice i don't know i don't know how well because you like people just say oh you'll never get rid of mice but i don't want you don't want to surrender like i yeah i i mean basically i want to stop them from being able to come into the house, but I guess that's impossible.
Starting point is 00:19:07 This is a hundred-year-old house. There's a million places. Yeah, you'd have to seal up, like, every single crack and crevice. And so, yeah, if you live in a city, you're going to, there will be mice somewhere. Does part of you hope it's Muffy from today's special? Every time I'm on the show, I say too many Canadian things. I'm so sorry. I don't even know what that is.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Is it a TV show? TV show for children. For children. It was a mouse. It was a mannequin who came to life. Yeah. The mouse had a wig, I think. It had like a blonde wig.
Starting point is 00:19:38 I do know it. I've never seen it, but I know it from the show. She only spoke in rooms. Did she? Yeah. What? You're the one who brought it up. I know, but I know it. She only spoke in rooms. Did she? Yeah. What? You're the one who brought it up. I know, but I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I remember the janitor who was terrifying. He wasn't a janitor. He was a security guard. Oh, yeah. Same thing. He played by Ringo Starr. Whoa. Miss Up in the Clouds over here.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Same thing. You know, garbage people. They're bringing me my spit bucket you know the lowers you guys know i'd be too scared to ask for a spit bucket from a janitor um why are you spitting in my mop bucket yeah and i'm a security guard you know people who deal with those type of things. I don't talk to those types. People with keys. Yeah, he was a security guard.
Starting point is 00:20:30 And then Jodi, I guess, she was the lady. She worked on The Night Shift. Yeah. And The Mannequin came to life. So it was the movie Mannequin for kids with vermin. Yeah, with starring vermin, co-starring vermin, rhyming vermin. Yeah. With starring vermin. Co-starring vermin. Rhyming vermin. And this was... So it was basically Ratatouille meets mannequin.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Meets that movie about security guards. Paul Blart. Paul Blart. Malacca. Yeah. But yeah, you know, it's... Yeah, so yes, he does hope that it's that mouse. I didn't answer your question.
Starting point is 00:21:10 We also had raccoons in our shed out back. I'm so scared of raccoons. They were territorial. Yeah, did they hiss at you? Yeah, but I didn't notice them at first. I was just, you know, in the shed getting getting stuff and then there's an area above and there were two of them up there
Starting point is 00:21:27 and we didn't know how long they had been living there and maybe they were about to have kids because this was like a month ago spring's coming
Starting point is 00:21:35 yeah and a young raccoon's fancy turns to love oh my goodness and I looked at they might have had kids yeah
Starting point is 00:21:41 you're like they were like Jesus and you turned them away from the barn or whatever. Well, that's more of a winter story. Happy birthday, Jesus, by the way, or whatever you're telling me. Hey, can we have a baby in a barn? No.
Starting point is 00:21:54 No. Manger. Yeah. No barn. Manger. But apparently, to get rid of raccoons, you just leave a radio on. What? Really?
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yeah. And they'll just move on. They don't like Miley Cyrus. They don't like Top 40. They don't like to party. Talk radio was what the City of Vancouver website suggested. What? And keep a light on.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yeah, because then they think, more advice shows. Raccoons can't relate to a call a call-in doctor show oh yeah what what happens on talk radio i don't know i only know from the show frazier what happens at a talk radio station i used to listen there was one well my mom always listened to uh 1410 c fun or yeah 1410 c fun sure that had uh dr laura um now go take on the day yeah i am my kid's mom she's a did you ever listen to that no um no do you know what it is no i know kind of know it's like an advice thing yeah and then people call in and say hey um my husband is being weird and she she's like, kill him. Murder him in his sleep.
Starting point is 00:23:09 What would your question be if you called in? Dr. Laura? Yeah. Like, why? How are you still on the air? Yeah, why should I take advice from somebody who's like a foot doctor or whatever she is? Yeah, she's a doctor. Like, she had a BA in physiology or something. Yeah, like, she's not a psychiatrist
Starting point is 00:23:25 but she doles out uh like advice did she have a calming voice uh no no she's kind of shrill and like but her whole thing her whole thing was uh stay-at-home moms that are or my i am my mom's i am my kid's mom yeah my kid's mom that's right that's my mom's. I am my kid's mom. Yeah, I am my kid's mom. That's right. I am my mom's friend. And so people would call in and that's how they would present themselves. They'd be like, hi, Dr. Laura. I have a problem. I am my kid's mom. What?
Starting point is 00:23:58 Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was all stuff like, yeah, my husband thinks it's okay to cheat on me. What do you think? Dave keeps touching my feet and it's making me weird. Guys, keep your feet on your own sides of the table. You over there and you over there. It was an accident.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Or was it? Don't ignore these signals. I'm Dr. Lohr. Take on the tape. And the other thing was, well, what I put on, the other kind of talk radio is sports radio. Oh, yeah. Where it is just like, hey, there's a game tonight. Here is 21 hours of pregame.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Yeah. Any local idiots who want to weigh in on sports Yeah, exactly We'll have 10 minutes with an expert And then 50 with Some guy with nothing better to do A lot of cab drivers in Toronto Listen to talk radio, I found
Starting point is 00:24:58 But like Is it sports talk radio? Or is it just talk talk radio? No, it's just talk radio Like this Rob Ford We gotta get him back into office. The last one I heard was they were talking about how soon is too soon to sleep with a person after however many dates. After a coma. And what did they say?
Starting point is 00:25:21 When you wake up, get back in the saddle. Right away. What did they say? you wake up get back in the saddle right away what did they say how many dates um people were calling in some guys were like um i almost did a southern accent for no reason no please i'm gonna do it anyway here we go yeah i just think that like you should just like wait save the romance for later. Just save yourself. Wait a few dates, okay? You don't just have to go on and rush in. That's the romance? Let's have sex now and save the romance for later.
Starting point is 00:25:56 And then the girls will call in and be like, I don't know. I just feel like you should just be able to do it. Just like, whatever. Just like, whatever. Just like, whatever. Just go for it. Just go for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Absolutely. Has anyone ever solved anything on talk radio? Yeah, I solved that one problem. That Scooby-Doo mystery. Yeah. And I helped that one woman reconcile with her sister. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:22 You hosted a talk radio show? Yep. It was in the mold of dr laura it was basically dr laura's show i just would listen to her show the day before and no matter what the problem was i just quote whatever she said to uh just if they did a talk radio show that was a hostage negotiator oh and every episode someone calls in with a bunch of hostages like hey i'm, I'm going to... That would be pretty compelling.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty good. I would be... After like three episodes, people would be like, how does... It seems like there's more hostage situations than usual now. And also they'd be like, you're not a doctor of hostage situations. You're a foot doctor.
Starting point is 00:27:03 You didn't actually graduate from any hostage negotiation school. Now, let go of those hostages. That's his catchphrase. Now, let him go. I am my captor's son. I would listen to that. Yeah. For sure.

I don't want to get political here. Trees would be the most political. But who's controlling the flow of sap here, guys?

Starting point is 00:30:25 One note guitar solo. What song was it? Do you remember? Oh, that song, Mr. Bean. That's a real, or Mr. B or something. I don't know. It was a school classic. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:40 It was bad. It was not good. Did you take band all the way through school? Well, you had to take it at some point. I don't know why I chose the trumpet. You didn't have braces at the time, probably. No, you're right. That's why.
Starting point is 00:30:53 You weren't allowed to pick any brass instrument if you had braces because you couldn't get the right... Tooth flow. Yeah. Your tooth flow is all effed up. Did you guys play instruments? Yep. Clarinet. What?
Starting point is 00:31:05 Yeah. Oh, my God. Do you want play instruments? Yep. Clarinet. What? Yeah. Oh my God. Do you want to start a band? No. Yeah. I mean, yes and no. Okay. You know, there's parts of me that does.
Starting point is 00:31:12 I feel like I haven't sold myself to you completely. Do you have a trumpet? No, but I got a heart of gold. You know what? I trust her. It sounds like a good band. I know you're hesitant yeah I am hesitant at this point because we don't have a lot of
Starting point is 00:31:30 well I'd have to get you to play a solo gong gong gong on her dumb heart just hit it with a mallet yeah did you play in band? well no I played in orchestra in elementary school i played cello what really i played private i had private lessons what and then also school wow uh that's
Starting point is 00:31:53 very difficult pardon are you benjamin button why were you just like a tiny old man playing the cello no i hated it my parents forced me to did you put like cool stickers on your chest yeah i uh all like yo-yo ma yeah the zero other cello players you can name like a fancy chester uh yeah annette funicello michelle and degeo cello and then just that take me to your dealer dealer alien yeah uh and well Dealer alien. Yeah. And, well, because my siblings played piano. And we had piano, a piano in the house. Maybe two. And then... You don't know how many pianos you had?
Starting point is 00:32:37 There might have been two pianos. Well, there were... My parents have had, I think in my lifetime, three pianos. What? And maybe two were at the same time. They only have one now. But yeah, but like I, it seems like I probably should have just taken piano because that is a, anywhere you go, you can, oh, there's a piano here. Hey, Dave, play Imagine again.
Starting point is 00:33:02 It's very rare that you would sit down and there'd just be a cello. Yeah. I feel like those kids in Back to the Future when Michael J. Fox was like, yeah, we had two televisions. And they were like, what? We only have one. He must be rich, but with pianos. Yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Two or three pianos? Did you sleep on a piano? No, like you get rid of a piano and get a new piano. Oh, we're going to get a new piano. What do we do with this piano? Put it in the basement. Yeah. And then give it. it in the basement. Yeah. And then give it.
Starting point is 00:33:26 With all the other garbage instruments. Dave's old cello. My brother has that one now, and his kids are learning on it. The basement piano. Cello is giant for a kid. They have different size cellos. Ah, they have kid cellos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Oh, I had cute baby cellos. Would it be cool if an adult played a kid cello uh it would be like a violin yeah a violin with a thing that pokes you in the neck what's the i don't uh like that's you have to sit you kind of have to like be on the cello very masculine yeah yes indeed it's like you're on the you're're on a small man's back, right? Like you kind of have to put your legs around it. Sort of. No, you just sort of let it rest on you. Oh, it leans on you.
Starting point is 00:34:13 You're the man and it's the cello. Yeah. Do you guys ever switch? Sometimes. Yeah, sometimes I would let it play me. I would rosin it up. Oh, man. So do you play in instruments now
Starting point is 00:34:29 no no you don't sing well you still dance you sing miraz yeah I sing miraz I actually won a karaoke contest
Starting point is 00:34:37 in high school what did you sing I will survive by Aretha Franklin oh okay Gloria Gaynor yeah Gloria I mean I did Aretha Franklin. Oh, okay. Gloria Gaynor. Yeah, Gloria Gaynor. I mean, I did Aretha Franklin's version.
Starting point is 00:34:48 You did a cover of a cover. I did a cover of a cover. Okay. And what did you win for that? I think tickets to a movie. The Gloria Gaynor story. Starring Aretha Franklin as Roberta Flack. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Dave, what's going on with you, man? Not a heck of a lot. But speaking of the radio, Abby and I do this thing when we are driving together. I have like, you know, driving with me is great. I have four jokes. Yeah. If I'm ever driving anyone anywhere i will uh stop very far away from where you're going and say uh oh i'm just gonna let you out here yeah like miles from
Starting point is 00:35:32 where you're going very funny uh the other one i do is um if ever i'm driving really fast and like the engine makes a big noise i'll say you something? Because this car fucking cooks. And then the third thing is whenever Abby and I get somewhere and we're like, say we're going to the grocery store and she starts getting out, I pretend that I'm going to stay in the car and I say, I would like So these are fun things I do when I drive with someone, usually Abby. But now Abby and I have this new game we're doing where we go through all the radio stations.
Starting point is 00:36:15 And if we don't like what we hear, the last station we get to is the classic Rock Station. Yeah. And before we get to that station, we will guess what band is playing on the Classic Rock Station. And usually it's ACDC. Okay. So you're not allowed to guess ACDC. Why? So that's like a free,
Starting point is 00:36:41 like it's on a bingo card? Well, it's sort of like Abby versus me versus ACDC. And we're losing. Yeah, I don't know who I'd bank on in that fight. And we've played this game, oh, a hundred times. And we've gotten it right twice. Where did you get it right? I once got it right with Tom Petty.
Starting point is 00:37:02 And then the other day, we were driving. And I said to Abby, okay, what's going to be on the Classic Rock Station? And we were looking around for stuff. Yeah. Glovebox. Glovebox 7. Yeah. Because it's like, the only classic rock bands that you can think about, or that you can sort of spot when you're driving, are cars. The cars. Yeah. the cars yeah oh yeah yeah um and then we're like uh light bulbs uh the poles uh yeah yeah red light green light
Starting point is 00:37:32 but then i was there was a um uh first nations fellow is that the is that what is that the appropriate term yes as far as I know yeah yes and he was running and it reminded me of
Starting point is 00:37:54 the movie the doors and so I was like because Jim Morrison goes has a weird dream
Starting point is 00:38:02 well no I've only ever seen Wayne's World 2. There you go. And so my guess was The Doors. And that was wrong. But then the next day we did it again. And we were looking around and Abby saw some doors on some houses.
Starting point is 00:38:20 And she guessed The Doors and it was The Doors. It's all about timing. The Doors, they're not uh good no right that's a weird thing that's a that's kind of one of those things you think in high school that the doors are great and then somebody somebody tells you like oh no they're not and then you go back and you listen and you go oh wait a minute like but if somebody told me like no the rolling stones aren't good i'd go back and be listen and you go, oh, wait a minute. But if somebody told me, no, the Rolling Stones aren't good, I'd go back and be like, no, no, that person was wrong. But The Doors, it's easily confirmed that they're not great, right? Yeah, I think it's probably like the popular songs of theirs are fine.
Starting point is 00:39:01 But once you start digging in, you're like, oh, there's a lot of jamming out on that organ. You're gonna get so much hate mail. That's fine. From who? The Lizard Heads? Is that what they're called? Yeah, from the Manzarek Heads. Yeah, I'm not scared. I'm not scared. The Smashing Dipshits. Now who's gonna get mail?
Starting point is 00:39:22 Oh no. The Smashing Dipshits. Was that the name of the Doors fan club? Or is that a new band? It's a new band. Trumpeted clarinet duo. Yeah. And cello.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Oh, yeah. Oh, are you in the trio? I wasn't invited. Yeah, you're invited. I can play the heart of gold. You're always invited. I can't wait to start this journey with you guys. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:39:44 And I can't wait until the journey's over. So quick. If you see a young kid, it can be Neil Young. Alright. Alright, yeah. Because we play this game in the car all the time. And whenever it's time to play it, we can never come up with anything. Yeah, Journey's a good bet that they'd be playing.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Or Chicago. If you see someone believe in, I guess you could just say that one. If you see a Chicago deep dish pizza. Yeah. Or Boston pizza. They also play a lot of Canadian classic rock, which is harder to remember. Like Tom Cochran. There's Tom Cochran.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Ryan Adams. Life is a Highway. My dad used to listen to that song all of the time if you see someone when when we were driving on the highway oh okay be like it it's time get it i didn't know tom cochran wasn't a cool reference for the longest time like what do you mean like i i think i put life is the Highway on a playlist one time. I learned it on ukulele. That was the first time I learned on the uke. Shredding the uke with Tom Cochran. Well, my.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Oh, by the way, if you're driving around and you see someone with a cock ring, then you're like, oh, Tom Cochran. And he's riding a red thing. Red rider. Dick Dale and the Deltons. I think I've told this story on the podcast before. Because I was... Before, like, in elementary school, I was reasonably cool. Like, I was in the group of... Well, you were playing that cello.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Yeah, I was in the group of friends that... Like, I knew the cool kids, and I came to their houses. And they called you mellow cello but in but like i remember the first time i went to someone's birthday party in high school i was not cool ever again and i realized at that moment because uh for the birthday present for the guy i got him Billy Joel's River of Dreams CD which was very new at the time yeah and he opened and he laughed at me and crushed up Pez and snorted it oh man I like the there's one song on there in
Starting point is 00:42:00 the middle of the night yeah he goes walking in his sleep yeah I think that's a great gift. I would be happy to get that. Guess what you're getting, Valkyrie? I'm walking in the middle of the... You guys, this band, I'm so excited. We want a karaoke competition. This is the Aretha Franklin version?
Starting point is 00:42:19 Yeah. Five, six, seven, eight. A-wim-a-what? Five, six, seven, eight. Oh, I'm a wimp. Were you cool in school? In your high school? In your junior high?

No. I know that just like I didn't get I didn't really get made fun of but yeah cuz there were like in high school I remember it was like it was much bigger there were actual like oh these people are really popular right and then these people are really unpopular yeah and
Starting point is 00:43:06 then everyone just had like a group of friends yeah yeah yeah i was kind of chunky in junior high though so i kind of got made fun of a little bit but i feel like i still was i was still i wasn't like sad when i got home from school was there like a specific uh taunt or nickname uh no but i remember this one taunt that this one girl got she got streaks in her hair one day and i always remember because i was like thinking about getting blonde chunks in my hair and then they called her skid marks for like ever and i was so sad for her and then i never dyed my hair never try in high school no never try to be in an but streaks were uh that was everybody was having them i know right why why did they gang up on the one late were they really bad no they weren't even bad i hope those guys like stub their toe
Starting point is 00:44:00 or something in prison whoa don't say anything you can't take back. I'm sorry. Yeah, like, it only takes one kid to agree with the kid that has made the nickname. Yeah, she's Skidmarks now. Skidmarks. Yeah, she is! And that's it. It's funny that you're saying that as male characters. These were mean girls, weren't they? Yeah.

It was dudes oh well they secretly had a crush on her hair yeah that's true they are this was in the jennifer aniston uh hairdo era yeah she apparently jennifer aniston hated the rachel what yeah she hated it how how it made her i know it made her who she should have a shrine in her house to the rachel yeah don't piss in the cup you were born for like this in the cup you were born for don't piss on the spit bucket from friends where you don't uh don't piss where you eat or Don't shit where you eat.

Starting point is 00:45:53 Have they? Were you ousted? No, I just moved. They were both in Calgary. I feel like improv teams and sketch troops have sort of taken over for bands as having ridiculous dumb names oh i think bands still you know they can still manage a pretty dumb name what yeah yeah sure i don't know what you're talking about uh my my friend sorry what were you gonna say dave no your turn you'd sweet cherub baby angel. Don't mind me.
Starting point is 00:46:25 I'll be over here pissing in the cup I was born to. Four. Four. And I had a friend and their band was called The Pant Situation. And they never understood what it meant. They just liked weird words together. But they didn't understand that that means something. You know.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Yeah. You know. Keeping mustard in your pocket. Yeah. What did you mean? What did I mean? Yeah. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Hey, Graham, what's going on with you? Oh, boy. Well, a couple of things. Ah, oh, boy. Did we need to have the talk? Yeah. The chew? Do birds and bees have sex, or how does that work?

Think of it as like a boy and his cello sometimes the cello plays you sometimes you play the chill when in soviet russia don't don't even yeah put your all of what you think is the thing is the reverse way boy i'm a real uh whatever that guy's name yak Yakov Smirnoff. Yeah. And in Russia, Yakov Smirnoff's you. It was what I heard.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Yeah. Now, one thing that i decided to wear because they make you uh like try out different outfits because it's televised yeah so they want you to like coordinate with the set the color of the set and they also don't want anything that will like you know like sometimes you see people and they wear like a tie and it moves. Yeah. What do they call that? Moraying? That's somebody.
Starting point is 00:48:10 That's what I was telling this story to somebody. They said, yeah, that's moraying. And I was like, there's another word that means something similar. I forget. Yeah. They just kept saying it'll buzz. Sure. And so I only wanted to wear this one shirt because I was going to wear a jacket, but it was too hot and I would have just sweat.
Starting point is 00:48:32 And when I wear a jacket, it just looks like I have to go to a funeral or something. It seems like that guy's got one jacket and he's wearing it because it's... What kind of jacket was it? You know, it was a brown jacket. A tweed? You know. Oh, a tweed. You know, like a tweed jacket. For some reason, I pictured a parka right away.
Starting point is 00:48:47 A parka or like kind of like. A classic funeral parka. Like a satin jacket. Yeah, like a baseball. Yeah, whatever thing. So I had a shirt that was just like a kind of a plaid, like country western shirt. Sure. And the wardrobe lady was really...
Starting point is 00:49:08 Did it have tassels? It had... It was all tassels. It was Dolly Parton themed. Yeah. It had giant breasts and tassels. I don't know why they had a problem with it. But the wardrobe lady, she really was for it.
Starting point is 00:49:24 She was for the outfit and the producers were all humming and hawing i don't know i don't know it's gonna buzz it's gonna buzz we don't know and then uh then we got it through we got it we got it approved yeah and it was on stage the the costume he was holding up all the different shirts. And then the camera guy like zoomed in on the shirt. And he was like, wait a minute, what's this? And I had discovered the night before when I was putting together stuff that there was a hole in the shirt. So I stitched it up real quick. And this guy, when he zoomed in, it was on all the monitors.
Starting point is 00:50:00 You could see how bad the stitch job was. He was like, what's this? And I was like, it was a hole that I a whole i'm a hobo comic yeah i don't know and uh the uh one of the producers right away was like i think it's i think it fits it fits it fits with the whole theme and so the wardrobe lady was like don't worry i'll fix it up and she did she like put on like an iron-on thing to like patch it up and uh so that was the that's why you have a wardrobe lady oh it was so i just i just owe so much to her then you know she fixed it remember her name uh i believe it was started with a d oh yeah doris yeah diana oh okay. So there was that. My triumphant shirt approval. Thanks, Dee.
Starting point is 00:50:48 And- Lady Di. Oh, you think it was Lady Di? Yeah. She was wearing a tiara. That's weird. Oh my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:54 And she was a ghost. Also, would she ever go back to Lady Di after the divorce? She was Princess Di. That would be my stipulation in the divorce, is we're getting a divorce, but I also get to keep the title, the crown, the house, the kids. I'm keeping the lady. If you're her? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Okay. Yeah. And I will be England's Rose. Yeah, I'm going to be England's Rose. When I die, Elton John, or better, better write a song about me. Well, or Elton John will use a song you already wrote and get Bernie Taupin to change the lyrics. Did he really call or did he just scratch out every reference to Norma Jean and just write it? No, it's brand new.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Although there is some... I heard a thing that it was like, oh, I want to write a song you know, like Candle in the Wind but for Lady Di Princess Di The late Di Like a sandal in the wind Yeah, you lived your life Flopping around with the rain And there was just sort of a miscommunication
Starting point is 00:52:01 Oh, you want me to weird out this thing? sort of a miscommunication oh you want me to weird out this thing oh weird if he had only contacted weird out it would have been about uh would have been about some sort of food or tv show oh yeah that's true it would have been like like a dawson in the creek whatever was popular yeah. So there was that. And then a couple episodes ago, we were talking about the movie The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Yeah. And you said that you wouldn't watch it for like a million dollars or something like that. I think I forget what the price was.
Starting point is 00:52:41 I think it was probably in the thousands, though. Yeah. And it wasn't. Someone, I think, online was like, oh, they talked about bad movies. Like, I didn't mean that in the sense of it's a bad movie. Apparently, it's quite good. But I don't want to sit through that.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Yeah. So then in the same conversation, I said I would sit through it for 50 bucks. And so one of our listeners contacted me via Facebook, and he's a, I guess the diving bell in the butterfly has a lot to do with speech therapy and relearning how to talk. And this person, Roger R., is a speech therapist, and he's like, I will pay you $50 to watch this movie. And I was like, you are on, my friend. Okay, so did you watch it? I tried to watch it this morning, but Netflix wasn't working.
Starting point is 00:53:28 So I will be watching it this afternoon after the podcast. And I'm not going to keep the 50 bucks. I'll donate it to Speech Therapy Charity. To Diving Butterfly. Yeah, exactly. Diving Bells, etc. Diving Bells Incorporated. Have you looked into how long it is?
Starting point is 00:53:43 It is almost two hours long. Yeah, I know. Life is short. Buzz, your girlfriend, woof. Huh? Did you say? Did you just react in a Home Alone fashion? I don't react any other way.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Understood. So, have you seen the movie? Was that you screaming? Yeah. But you didn't put your hands on your cheeks at first. I know, but no one can see me but you guys. I thought you'd get it. I know, but we didn't get it either.
Starting point is 00:54:12 It doesn't necessarily come across. I'm Home Alone? That's Home Improvement. Sorry, I got them confused. Which one was the one where they kill Al Borland? Was that Home Alone? Well, he tries to break in and, you know. Tim shoots him in the face.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Was it really worth it? Like, they had robbed every house on that street. Was it really worth it to go after the McAllisters? Yeah, that was the jewel. It was the jewel that he wanted. That's what he says. He's like, that's the jewel in the crown, this McAllister house. They've obviously got tons of money because they have so many kids.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Yeah. They must have a bunch of disposable income lying around the house. The kid can go shopping by himself. That's expensive. Grocery shopping's expensive. I don't understand. If the first time that they tried to break in, there was a situation, then wouldn't they just go, let's move on to the next neighborhood? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Still, there's still Christmas days. Because Kevin didn't want to call the cops because... I don't know why. At one point, the cops went over to the house. Oh, and checked on him. And knocked on the door. And he was too afraid to answer. And he didn't want to go to, like, foster care or whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Yeah. But... Which is exactly foster care or whatever. Yeah. But. Which is exactly what would have happened. Yeah. But if I was the wet bandits, I'd be like, oh, there's a kid here. He could call the cops at any second. Yeah. But they caught, didn't, wasn't the thing that the phone line went down and that's why
Starting point is 00:55:39 they didn't get a call or the electricity went out or something? Oh, yeah. Yeah. The electricity. Or, yeah. There was some sort of thing with the phone. And then he shaved, and he put on shaving aftershave lotion, and it sounded a little something like this. A-wimble-wap.
Starting point is 00:56:00 But, you know, like, I mean, there's a bunch of logic flaws in that movie. Like when he makes macaroni and cheese and doesn't eat it? Excuse me. Oh, yeah. Was that the night of the showdown? Yeah, and it drives me mad. He sits down to eat it, and then, uh-oh, it's time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:17 It makes me so hungry every time. Why didn't he just stay at the church that night? Because that seemed to be like a safe. He had to protect his house. Yeah, I guess. you had to set off all the uh paint cans all the traps you had to set up the toys by the window now when the parents get home they just take his when they say what have you been up to and he just goes you know hanging around and they all just they accept that as good enough they're like nobody broke in here and
Starting point is 00:56:45 touched you while we were gone right no i just hanging around yeah i bonded with that creepy old man he came into our house yeah i let shovelton into our house yeah uh and then well the last moment is buzz buzz sees uh all the kevin has demolished his room. He mispronounces room. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. My room. My Roomba. But, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:15 We should remake that in 2014 with a bunch of new gadgets. And a Roomba gets out of its cage. Wait. You don't put a Roomba in a cage at the end of the day, do you? No, like I thought it would be like the 2014 version wouldn't have a tarantula. It would have a Roomba in a cage. You know what? We should make a petting zoo.
Starting point is 00:57:42 With like Roombas and old ipod docks yep um i think uh home alone is it's remakeable you could remake it with some some kid star they would make it with like zach afron though it would be terrible why would it matter if he was Alone. Isn't he like 32? They remake it with Quvenzhané. JonBenet Ramsey. Yeah. R.A.P. They're remaking Annie with Quvenzhané. And they're also, do you remember I said a while ago that they should remake Police Academy?
Starting point is 00:58:21 They're remaking Police Academy. All right. Yeah. Key and Peele. Oh. Yeah. Maybe they Peele. Oh. Yeah. Maybe they should remake Home Alone with Joffrey from Game of Thrones. Is that... Do you guys watch Game of Thrones?
Starting point is 00:58:33 Dave does. Yeah. Dave loves it. I know which one he is. Yeah. Is he Peter Dinklage? Oh, my God. Peter Dinklage, you guys.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Is your crush on Peter Dinklage, is this a real authentic thing? It is. Or you just think it's fun to make fun of little people? Are you out of your rocker? Is that an actual expression? I can't remember. I genuinely love Peter Dinklage so much. But the things you post online are about putting him in a baby Bjorn. That was one time, and it was my profile picture for a few months.
Starting point is 00:59:03 And you also posted something recently where you said you were going to put him in a bicycle basket. Oh, my God. How cute would that be? That would be really nice. Not something you would do to someone you love and respect. Or he could put me in the basket. I just feel like I'm very tall. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Okay. I genuinely would date and love him forever. Okay. All right. But you're not ready for marriage? He's married, so I'm just waiting for that to run its course. Oh, you'd be the other woman. Yeah, I'd be a mistress.

And the kid looked up at her mom and said, Mom, can I take a 15-minute shower when we get home? But then her mom said, I told you to ask your father. It's like a holiday to have a 15 minute shower. How old a kid was this?
Starting point is 01:06:49 The kid was like 10 maybe. What's the age where you transfer to showers? From being bathed in the sink? Yeah. Like 12 at least. I don't know. I think I was an early showerer.
Starting point is 01:07:04 I think I enjoyed you were on the fast track? like 6? you were a gifted shower? I don't know you don't shower all the time when you're a kid because you don't need to clean yourself daily although when you're a little kid
Starting point is 01:07:18 they bathe you every day yeah well that's because you're like shitting yourself I just found out that babies you you can't bathe them. You have to bathe them like every three days or something. Get ready for that. As opposed to... Like daily.
Starting point is 01:07:33 What do you mean? You're supposed to space it out over three days? Yeah, because their skin dries out. This was Toby Hargrave who was telling me about this. Do you know what the thing is? There's a little thing called baby oil. That's what you put on babies so they don't dry out. Does Toby Hargrave bathe every day?
Starting point is 01:07:51 Well, I don't know. Does he? Not in the sink. Not in the biblical sense. Don't piss on the cub you were born for. Now, here's a question, though. Isn't that what baby oil is specifically for? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:04 I haven't got that far. Well, what chapter are you on in the baby book? I know what to expect when I'm expecting. I don't know what to expect when I got it. I watched that one dumb movie. Yeah, and I tried to watch what to expect when you're expecting. I accidentally watched Valentine's Day. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:08:21 I was another ensemble cast. He's just not that into you yeah baby edition um yeah get ready to not wash your baby a lot because it's because one guy said two guys um who's the other guy toby and charlie damaris charlie damaris is not washing his baby no i'm calling the authority you have to wait like three months before you start washing it regularly. Oh, okay. Well, it's like those fancy jeans. Yeah, then you wash it
Starting point is 01:08:51 in the ocean. But you don't wash it, and you dry clean it once. Only once. Yes, but you dry clean it and then you can never go back to ocean washing your baby. That's right, yeah. You wash your baby every laundry day. Then you just throw it in with your colors. With the colors.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Well, or the whites, depending on the baby. Yesterday I went to the bay, and it's bay days. I bought six pairs of underwear.

Starting point is 01:10:52 And I assumed... That that would be something that somebody would want? Yeah, well, no. In my imagination, it was suede, and it had tassels. Also, I was very muscular. I was basically the naked cowboy from Times Square. Like it had tassels
Starting point is 01:11:12 or a fringe. What's the difference? Like a fringe is like an old suede jacket. What's tassels? You know, like something that would hang off of a lamp or pasties. I don't know the difference. Oh, like a clump of them.

That's why there's only two letters in the name. Same time for the two memories. That would be so embarrassing to get something like that wrong in front of a whole stadium.
Starting point is 01:30:14 Oh, yeah. If anyone ever offers you that, turn it down. Even though everyone in the stadium will try to help you. Yeah. But still, if you never heard Iconopop, how would you lead somebody into it? The fact is, I don't care. I love it. I threw a mushroom at a bus.
Starting point is 01:30:32 I don't care. I whipped a battery at an angel. You should care. They do that at Toronto Blue Jays games. And they do a game where you have to guess whose number or what number jersey they have. And I started sweating instantly. You were on it? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:30:56 I started thinking about if I ever got asked that. And I would just get stuff thrown at me. I know nothing. I just go for the butts. Yeah. Oh, is that right? I go for the butts yeah oh is that right all right yeah i go for the brats somebody told me that uh yeah baseball pants are the uh the male equivalent of staring at uh women in yoga pants that's uh okay would you would you agree with that i mean
Starting point is 01:31:19 the baseball what you just said you just go for the butts. I was only sort of kidding. It's also like a... Great shape. I mean, football is also the... Like, they wear even tighter ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, baseball, they still need belts. And actually, guys have started wearing baggy pants in the last 15 years. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:31:40 Get out of town. But the problem is... No thanks, right? I mean, I guess it's not a problem. But there's many different body types who play these two sports. That's true. Oh yeah, there's your linebackers and such. And your baseball.
Starting point is 01:31:55 But there's plenty of out of shape baseball players. Because it's a game of standing. Yeah. And actually sitting. Yeah, there's a lot of sitting. And you know what? In the worst case scenarios, belly itching. And belly scratching.
Starting point is 01:32:11 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard of this guy. Yeah? He wasn't a pitcher. I mean, he was a pitcher. We wanted something else. We were hoping for something else. Guys, we took it too far.
Starting point is 01:32:21 Is there crying in baseball, though? There's very little crying in baseball. Very little. Okay. I mean, that Cal Ripken thing was really... And when that guy said that I'm the luckiest man in the world. Yeah. That guy.
Starting point is 01:32:32 I can't remember. He had some kind of disease. Who's that guy? He had that disease named after him. Ebola Jones. Yeah. Mickey Mantelitis. The Ebola Jones.
Starting point is 01:32:43 It's really Jones heavy. Yeah yeah two two jones names i was um they read i've been watching dave come back that ken burns baseball documentary they redid they added a few chapters later and they did a marathon that's what that's what it needed well they more chapters they because they did it in the I guess mid 90s and then they added like chapters for steroids and Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire the shame you're hitting all those baseballs and part of it was Cal Ripken retiring and that was one of the tear-jerking moments in baseball or not the retiring when he when he you know defeated defeated Lou Gehrig when he
Starting point is 01:33:26 surpassed Lou Gehrig's record. And he seemed like such an old man at the time. And he was like 36. But in pro sports, come on, 36. Unless you're in curling or darts. Yeah. Time to go out to stud.
