Electrocuted to hell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Do you guys remember there was a movie called, what was it called? The Shocker or something? It was about a guy who gets... Two in the pink and one in the stick. Yeah. There's a few movies about the Shocker. This one was in major theaters. Yeah, this one somehow made it past the censors.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Yeah, the guy gets electrocuted, and then he kills people still as an electricity man that comes through light bulbs. Yeah, he comes through light bulbs and televisions and stuff. What do you mean, comes through light bulbs? What do you mean, what do you mean? He comes out of light bulbs. Do the light bulbs have to break? Or can he break through the light bulb? Or does it even break?
Starting point is 00:03:02 I don't know. Or can he break through the light bulb? Or does it even break? I don't know. I remember him bulging out of a TV screen and grabbing a guy by the throat and being like, See, I told you! Because he said, I'll be back when he gets electrocuted. You should have listened to me when I was mad and dying.
Starting point is 00:03:20 You were wrong to ignore my warnings.

Starting point is 00:04:05 And I guess I was probably 10 years old Or maybe 11, 12 And we were driving down Dunbar Street In Vancouver and I noticed Oh it's playing at this movie theater And my dad was like alright go He gave me 10 bucks
Starting point is 00:04:21 And was like Do you remember how you felt about it? I think it was maybe my first time seeing a movie by myself. And I was like, yeah, this isn't right. Should we get to know us? No. Oh. Because there were girls in my class that were also there.
Starting point is 00:04:39 And then it was like, yeah, Dave's a weirdo going to a movie by himself. Why did he put on that trench coat just before he went to the theater? Yeah. And get on that other guy's shoulders. But they were seen Stay Tuned as well? Yeah. They were weirdos too. But they were as a group.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Yeah. Oh, because all the girls in my class had pictures of John Ritter inside their locker. There's no way. Yeah, of course. Yeah, he was the hottest thing. Like a picture of him falling over a couch. Yeah, classic. Girls in my class were really into physical comedy.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Crap falls. Nice. Okay, do you want to get to know us? Yeah, absolutely. When you were in school, who was the poster boy that ladies would put in their locker? Or who was the poster girl that you put in your locker? Poster girl? That was NWA.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Seriously, the only time I had a poster in my locker was NWA. Yeah. And then were teachers like, oh, we don't know what to do with this Chris Locke character. Yeah, they were like that for various reasons, but that was one of them. For sure. But I was like, you're right, NWA, let's do this. And then I'd go into class and fall asleep so you you would have a poster of nwa yeah to pump you up yeah like sort of as a motivator or just to remind me like there's better things out there than learning
Starting point is 00:05:58 than learning yeah there's running from the cops. Yeah. And just hanging out with friends. Yeah. So it was something to remind you of the better things. Yeah, wearing all jeans, shades, Raiders clothing. Yeah. I basically kept the poster up to remind me that I'll never unfortunately get to wear Jerry Curl. I don't know if you remember NWA. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Yeah, of course. easy and ice cube had major jerry curl yeah remember that ice cube is really did the full transformation from scariest to least scary yeah dude in uh entertainment not even i don't know dr dre yeah good point dr j doesn't he advertise like sprite, Sprite or something now? Dr. Pepper. Yeah, earphones. Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper, of course.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Of course. Sprite. Well, and even Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg has probably, like, gone from killing a cop to, you know, just like a lovable... Didn't he do an ad for pistachios or something like that? Yeah, probably. But he also literally thinks he's, like like a reincarnation of Bob Marley. Yeah, I don't know if he really thinks that.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Oh. I mean, while his pistachio contract, he signs the name Bob Marley. Yeah. Bob Marley's ghost. Calm. Like, you know what I mean. Yeah. Calvin brought us.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Like, in brackets. You know what I'm talking about. You heard about that for a week, right? Snoop Lion? Yeah. Anything? No? Okay, Snoop Dogg. Trip to Jamaica. Yeah, yes. about you heard that you heard about that for a week right snoop lion yeah anything no okay snoop dog trip to jamaica yeah yes call me snoop lion snoop dog yeah okay so nwa yeah that was your locker i think i honestly i think i had two posters and it wasn't in high school okay it was in grade six actually i gotta admit And I had two posters.
Starting point is 00:07:45 It was NWA and a Ferrari. It's true. Yeah. It was something about having a picture of a car that kind of meant nothing to you. Both posters meant, yeah, man, live fast. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Like seize the day or whatever. I wonder, like... Because I had posters on my wall in my bedroom And they were posters You know when you go to a store And they have a A giant book of posters On the wall
Starting point is 00:08:14 I'll still look through one of those If I see one I'll go through the entire The entire rack of winners or whatever But like A locker Is that the only reason like Tiger Beat magazine exists is because they don't make locker sized posters? It's totally. I think so. You just would have to cut them out of a magazine and be like, yeah, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, that's my jam.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Now and forever. Or like, yeah, you could make, I guess. No, those posters were strictly for at home, and then later for your dorm room. Oh, yeah. And then much later for your adult apartment. Frame them. I still have all my Fred Savage posters. When you get your studio apartment.
Starting point is 00:09:00 That would be weird, because, yeah, were girls into Fred Savage? He was definitely in, like, the Tiger Beat into fred savage he was definitely in like the tiger beat uh you know he was one of the he was a tiger yeah i think that's what it's about right who's a tiger yeah who's a tiger now and it's just children because every one of those shows from that era had like two or three uh babes yeah it would be like Zach and Slater From Saved by the Bell Or Jason Sinsley
Starting point is 00:09:28 Or Luke Perry But like No one No one had Paul Pfeiffer From the Wonder Years No one had What's he allergic to
Starting point is 00:09:39 This month Yeah People had to make Their own Paul posters With markers And crayons One day I'm gonna be Marilyn Manson It's true Oh yeah Yeah, people had to make their own Paul posters with markers and crayons. One day I'm going to be Marilyn Manson.
Starting point is 00:09:49 It's true. You guys know that's true, right? Both him and the guy from Mr. Belvedere are Marilyn Manson. Yeah, there's actually... You mean Mr. Belvedere was Marilyn Manson? No, no, no. That would rule. Really? Mr. Belvedere is his manager.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Yeah. But like wrestling style He's like Leslie Marilyn Anyways That's Mr. Belvedere That's a pretty good Mr. Belvedere Marilyn, clean your room
Starting point is 00:10:16 That's pretty good, yeah That's not bad I met Yucks all weekend Marilyn God I did get those university posters Thanks. Yeah. Well, I'm at Yucks all weekend. Maryland. God. I did get those university posters from that book of posters or whatever when I went to university for one year. Oh, what was, yeah, there was a.
Starting point is 00:10:40 And I hate to say it, I'm one of the guys that got, that did this, like, can you swear on here? Yeah, yeah. I fucking did the Scarface poster. Oh, nice. Yeah. Swear worthy, right? Yeah. Well, you were already on the? Yeah, yeah. I fucking did the Scarface poster. Oh, nice. Yeah. Swear worthy, right? Yeah. Well, you were already on the track with NWA.
Starting point is 00:10:51 You were into the culture. And I'm the most nervous, polite, don't want to get in trouble guy. Whenever you sell cocaine. I guess I look vicariously through. Yeah, exactly. You bought them out of a book? Well, they'd send around a book. You bought them out of a book? Well, they'd send around a book.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Remember, they would come once a year and they'd set up in the lobby or whatever? Yeah, in the student union building or sub. Yeah, and I'd be like, do you have poster A363? And they'd be like, hmm, good choice, Scarface. Scarface, take me to your dealer. What Scarface really learned in college. No, I definitely, I don't remember the book, but I remember them setting up in the sub. What was it called? It had a weird name.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Maybe it wasn't a book, but it was like a catalog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you got super stoked because you're like, what is my personality? How can I shine through? Who am I really? Oh, yes. A Cuban gangster. Maybe I believe the inner me is a mosaic of stills from Star Wars that make up a Yoda face.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Yeah. What did I? I definitely bought. I bought like, I think it was probably like a Jack Kerouac poster or something like that. Yeah. I had a Breakfast Club one. Which is ironic because you are, it's in, he's trapped in a room.
Starting point is 00:12:15 He's not free to be on the road. Oh, I just, I wore it like a cape. I wore it around it like a cape so he got to see the world. Oh, nice. Yeah. This is Mr. Sub. I had a Breakfast Club one, and it had the writing from the essay that he writes at the end. We are a basket case, a pipsqueak, a criminal.
Starting point is 00:12:43 A shithead. But there was a misspelling, there was a typo. case. Pipsqueak. A criminal. A shithead. But there was a misspelling, there was a typo and it said, and a criminal. That was probably the only way they got it passed to sell it as a poster. Like, parents were like,
Starting point is 00:12:58 can you not make the word fully criminal for real? And they're like, well, what do you suggest? Criminal? How about nan-a-mole? Yeah. Did you guys hear that? Everyone was freaking out. They're like, oh, Wolf of Wall Street's going to be the new Scarface now, and all these
Starting point is 00:13:18 ding-dongs are going to idolize that. And... But isn't it kind of like, that's great it's like doesn't that sort of like help us get rid of weirdos yeah they idolize the shitty idiots that get killed he doesn't get killed well and wolverine gets arrested whoa whoa whoa spoilers oh really oh wait a minute i forgot it was real life yeah it's kind of a foregone conclusion. But yeah, it feels like Scarface, everybody who loves that icon of him stops watching the second he pulls out the machine gun. They're like, and that movie is done. I assume that he kills all his enemies.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I assume the rest of the movie is them saying hello to his little friend. Every time they watch the movie, yeah. It's like, yeah, Scarface, get him when he's spraying them with bullets. And watch the movie, it's like, yeah, Scarface, get him when he's spraying them with bullets. And then from upstairs, it's like, guys, dinner. And they're like, yay. They scamper upstairs. They never see him get shot.
Starting point is 00:14:14 They do that thing on the stairs where they fall over because they're running so fast. No, they just released like a dickhead special edition freeze frame of him with a bunch of guns. Yeah. And then, yeah, Scarface opened up his own cocaine business. He became the 40th president of America.
Starting point is 00:14:35 They ate CGI buns and breads and croissants all around him. And a bakery. Yeah. Scarface opened up his own bakery. Yeah, it's powdered sugar he has all over his face. Also, no scars. Oh, he has a little one. But, you know, it was named after...
Starting point is 00:14:55 It was a remake of a movie. I've seen that one. I actually really like that one. The original? Yeah. The, uh... Scarface. Paul Mooney, I think.
Starting point is 00:15:04 There we go. IMDB. Paul Mooney plays the original Scarface. It's very good it might be pointed at me like I'm I'm actually very impressed though wait but no one remembers Markie post who's marky poe night court night yeah wow yeah christine christina yeah no christine i don't know i had a poster i defend criminals yeah i used to i tried to get a poster over in my locker but her shoulder pads were too big yeah i had a poster of paula poundstone in my locker yeah i had a poster over in my locker as well but uh dan fielding was just behind her drooling like a dog. Doing a wolf whistle. Could there be a sitcom where it was just all horny characters?
Starting point is 00:15:54 Every character was the horny character? There was an episode where he opened up his, what was it, briefcase. What's that thing? And all kinds of vibrating battery-operated toys were in his briefcase. And as a kid, I was like, this is too much for me. I can't handle how perverted this man is.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Yeah, I remember there was an episode where he was like, oh yeah, come back to my place, I have gravity boots. Which are like boots you put on the ceiling and you hang upside down.

It's like, oh, it's here. Yeah. Oh, it's here. What's there? Who's the horny character on the West Wing? The president.

Starting point is 00:20:08 Yeah. Pip. Pip wouldn't leave that girl alone. That was weird. No, I think Tyrion on Game of Thrones was very horny for a bit, and he got hit in the face. Did I spoil that? I don't know. I've never seen the show it's
Starting point is 00:20:25 really good yeah that's what a lot of people are you watching it dave um yes and no i'm watching i i'm like i'm you're not excited about it i can't i still can't follow it i like i just don't maybe because on the west coast you guys live around kind of real magic for real yeah and then when you live in toronto like you're stuck in a concrete uh garbage bin you're like take me to the world of the dragons you know get me out of here for me it's like when you know it when they had um well like i think all the characters look the same like i can't tell them apart like oh look at this handsome white guy yeah um but then beard and a sword there's so much killing that when there's like a mass killing or a big killing uh it doesn't
Starting point is 00:21:12 register as a big deal like people show their reactions on youtube like oh that guy freaked out when he he uh saw all these deaths and i'm like yeah the thing is like those killings the big killings are always like someone that you thought was the star of the show. Yeah. That's where the reaction comes from. But you want them to be more fun. I guess that's what I want. More fun, sort of like on a beach.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Yeah. More like volleyball. I think I just want like a beach volleyball. Yeah. Can you put lotion on my back? Ah, what the hell? Sword through the head. I thought we were friends. Yeah. Can you put lotion on my back? Oh, what the hell? Sword through the head. I thought we were friends.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Yeah. Does anyone ever say that? Yeah. Yes, actually. That would be great last words. If you got sorted. Oh, but buddy, we had plans. Dude.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Have a good summer. Yes. I signed my sword. Maybe I should watch the show. I feel like I've got a whole blind spot when it comes to Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter. Anything with dragon or dragon adjacent stuff, I don't have it. I just don't know what goes on. I can't follow it.
Starting point is 00:22:23 It's so funny because when I was younger and everyone else was into that when I was a kid, basically, I wasn't. I wanted everything to be, like, super real. Like, I was into Kerouac and all those guys, too. Yeah, yeah. And then now that I'm in my 30s, I get into that stuff way more. And I think it's because the older you get, the Kerouac stuff seems more romantic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, like, the fantasy stuff is like, yes, take me away from real life.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Like, the older you get, you're like, dragons, carry me away from taxes. You know what I mean? Or responsibilities. Please, just let a dragon blow fire on my face. I'm so bored. Dragon, carry me away from taxes. Or blow fire on my face. Either way. Drag. Carry me away from text. Or blow fire on my face.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Either way. What happened to your eyebrows? Yeah. Fantasy. Yeah, right? I do both, though. I'm still reading super dry real stuff. Like, for example?
Starting point is 00:23:24 I read a really neat short story the other day by balzac oh yeah honoranda balzac the scrotum yeah yeah very dry he was like uh yeah it was very dry yeah talcum yeah freshly shorn tons of talcs. Oof. Oof. Sorry. My, like, I hate this talk, and I started it. Yeah, it's true. And I hate abbreviations, but I'm just trying to hurry up for some reason. What, um, yeah, you got a dragon to catch? What's that?
Starting point is 00:23:58 Take me away. What did Balzac have to say? Um, it's very, actually, it's not that dry a story, but it's but it's not like you know well you're not at a party and it's like oh who's that dancing over there and then the dragon's like bro you know it's like no one you know is that something there's a party with dragons well it's not fantasy is what i'm getting at it's really like it's oh it's just a real person dancing don't worry about it. It's a prince or whatever, but a real prince. I would watch Game of Thrones if it was that.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Just people drinking cocktails. Oh, who's the mysterious new guy? No one. If it was like a combination of girls in Game of Thrones. Yeah. Actually, a really wicked TV show would be like a version of when animals attack but it would just be like when dragons attack and who cares if it's fake cgi whatever let's just make it yeah yeah yeah just get some puppet yeah puppet friends have you guys seen that japanese prank show when the guy dresses up like the velociraptor
Starting point is 00:25:00 chases the person down the hallway i actually very much love that it's very realistic well because would except for the jeans and sneakers the velociraptors like you can see the real man's legs behind the velociraptors legs it is yeah but it's like it's just in the moment yeah you're just seeing a raptor run at you i don't know what i would i guess i would run i guess i would try and at the very least i try and hide i'm so scared of that stuff because for sure i would poo and i don't sorry guys that's all right um can we bleep that out for sure i would beep uh but yeah no like i'm literally i don't like poo jokes but i'm seriously i don't know how to say it. I'm afraid of doing that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Like, I don't want to get robbed by a gun for the same reason. But, like, do you think, if that was the result, like, they go to all this trouble, they get a dinosaur, they're going to chase this guy, and then that's the result. Like, they're like, that's kind of unarable. What if that happened every time? And then the producer goes up to you like, are you okay? But they're just condescending. They're like, no.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Thanks for freaking out the worst possible way. Do you need some new pants? Don't worry. Oh, boy. We're sorry about the prank. Sorry, guys. There was a while. No, I'm afraid of that, too.
Starting point is 00:26:23 I don't do it anymore. But I used to keep an extra pair of pants at work. But that's the thing. It's like, the day that it happens... Where do you work? Dragons? I work in the... Oh!
Starting point is 00:26:39 No, it's not like I'm afraid of... Out of fear. I'm just... Like, that is my fear. Oh, right. Like, you eat cheese, weird cheese, and then you have to spend the rest of the day working. Yeah, okay. Where do you work?
Starting point is 00:26:53 I work at the CBC. Not at Dragon's Den, though. Oh, weird. Yeah. I didn't know that. Okay. Hi. Hi.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Hi. Hi. Dave, what's going on with you, man? Oh, okay. A couple weeks on the show, I think with Amanda Brooke Perrin, we were talking about pests. Sure. Mice, raccoons, the like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:16 And we have mice in this house. Or at least a mouse, but let's be real, probably mice. Yeah. Or at least a mouse, but let's be real, probably mice. And I have in our pantry in the kitchen, it's a really sort of shallow shelf that they can reach. Like it only talks about other shelves. Yeah, it's all beauty's only skin deep to this motherfucker. And I put steel wool anywhere I thought mice could get through, and I ca it up with the c-a-u-l-k and uh i didn't choke on it yeah yeah yeah and but mice keeps keep getting
Starting point is 00:27:55 in and so i went and i got uh i got a mouse trap now is this uh the uh the glue trap or like one of the old timey i went to home depot and this is the only time they've been helpful at all and everyone at home depot had an opinion and they were like well do you want to kill it or do you want to uh drill it and when she said do you want to kill it do you want it dead or alive and i was like i assumed the woman meant like do you like, do you want to finish it off yourself? Oh, yeah, because I guess if you put out a glue or trap or whatever, it would just be alive. I have a terrible story about that. Doing something to a mouse. Well, here's mine.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And another person at Home Depot was like, oh, yeah, so many people are getting mouse traps now because uh city of vancouver um we have this new uh and it like the last year or so we've had this sort of composting initiative like the oh yeah you're supposed to leave out your food scraps yeah and uh with your yard trimmings and so apparently the mouse population has exploded not literally that exploded they're eating so much that would actually rule yeah And so apparently the mouse population has exploded. Not literally exploded. They're eating so much. That would actually rule. I did dump my teabag in one of those boxes on the way here. That sounds crazy, but you know what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:29:16 No, yeah, it's a good idea. Full stop. Yeah, fine. Yeah, like it's not, I don't it's the results have not been great um i do know the glue traps are horrifying oh well i got one of the old-timey snap traps and uh the first night i put it out i got it on thursday so it's been out three nights thursday friday saturday or no wednesday wednesday thursday friday night and um the first night a um uh i opened up the the morning the next morning i opened up the uh the pantry and uh there was a
Starting point is 00:29:55 mouse and it just got its tail oh so it was it was alive so i got these gardening gloves and i picked up the mouse and carried it out into the alleyway and I was like I guess I put this in the trash it's still alive like I grabbed it and I was like I guess I'll kill it with my hands oh no did you no I couldn't do that oh Dave I was like but as soon as I grabbed it I squeezed
Starting point is 00:30:18 it a bit and it's eyes closed and I was like I guess that did it oh really but no it didn't oh it was just like a sleeping bag like and I'm and I'm like, I guess that did it. Oh, really? But no, it didn't. Oh, he's just like a sleeping bag. Like, hmm. Yeah. And I'm like certified old man, like pajamas and slippers out at six in the morning in the alleyway.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Pajamas and loafers, like if you put on some work shoes. And so I take it out, I throw it in the garbage, and it's still alive. And I'm like, all right, I guess I got to. So I reached in and I just opened up the trap and let it out in the alleyway. And I'm sure. And you're like, tell your friends. That's very nice.
Starting point is 00:30:58 It's fine. But I'm sure it's back in the house already. Yeah. Then the next morning, um, I, uh, opened up the, uh, pantry.
Starting point is 00:31:07 I had more, I got four traps. I opened up the pantry, a clean kill. Oh, okay. All right. Then this morning I opened up the pantry and there were two of them that were
Starting point is 00:31:18 fucking and it killed them both. Fuck. They were having sex on the trap. Yeah. Oh, well, you know, sometimes it's exciting danger yeah
Starting point is 00:31:26 yeah those last two weren't true only the first one all right so uh i would have loved that this because i've seen them at the like the dollar store and like there's ones that come with a like a piece of plastic that looks like yeah okay but i think what i need to get because um because i realize this about myself is that i don't really want to kill a mouse i just i need to get the kind that you trap they're not glue traps but they sort of shut over top of them oh right yeah yeah they get in and then they can't get out kind of style i guess i don't really how. I don't know how they work either or how effective they are. But apparently, according to my neighbor, you have to take them two kilometers away. You've got to take them on like a field trip?
Starting point is 00:32:15 Yeah. Otherwise, they'll come back into your house. Wow. It's, yeah, it's crazy. When I was a kid, we stayed at a cabin. And we didn't know that they had squirrels that were coming and going in the attic. And one night, we were all sleeping. And then we heard this, like, ka-snap, ka-snap. And we were like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:32:40 We didn't know that they had put out traps and all this stuff. And then my dad went upstairs. He's like, there's a squirrel with four traps on him. And he's running around. It's fucking so crazy. There's no good way to deal with them, is there? Well, not really. Mice?
Starting point is 00:32:56 Or squirrels? Well, you have a mite story. I was really captivated by yours. No, it's true. And then I started thinking, I might not want to tell mine because it's hardcore. I feel terrible about it. And I almost feel like I tell people the story sometimes to help myself feel better about myself. To get off my chest.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Because it was like 10 years ago and I was living with a roommate, old friend of mine. And he's the dirtiest guy like you know we there were more mice like we basically gave our rent to the mice you know and um why they would give us a shopping list like we like doritos it was so bad and so one night it was like they ran the place it was a really dirty gross old house in toronto and uh one night, it was like they ran the place. It was a really dirty, gross old house in Toronto. And one night I was there by myself playing video games, and I kept hearing them in this garbage bag. And the garbage bag was in a cupboard, hanging on just the wire. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:59 That's the only way. It was just hanging by a wire rim. And so the first time I went, fuck this, and went into the kitchen opened it and they all scattered but then i left the door open yeah it was brutal it was it was in between girlfriends so i was living with like another idiot like me you know so like as soon as i move in with a girlfriend another girlfriend again it's like you know clean place yeah whatever and then you're like back on track. I need help. The worst thing is that. It's true.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Not anymore. I'm a bit more responsible. I guess you were living in a really dirty place where. This was like the house was very bad. It wasn't just us. There were many, many mice. But like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:38 We're very clean and there's still at least one mouse. Yeah. Like you can't. Right. There's only so much you can do. I could have said that I wasn't that dirty in this story and you guys might have not have, you might have respected me more. No, I, look, I respect you.
Starting point is 00:34:54 You have no idea how much I respect you. We are a ride or die podcast and you are, I don't know what that means. Ride or die? Kim Kardashian. Yeah. Oh, great. She's so good do you have then what happened I saw a picture of her the other day on the internet and I was like oh yeah
Starting point is 00:35:13 you're like I kind of get it oh yeah I see I see you Kim I see you standing Cam. This is not... I see you standing there. Shapes. Big shapes. Oh, I see shapes. Triangles. Two decahedrons.
Starting point is 00:35:34 So then I left the cupboard door open with the little plastic bag just hanging there. And I was at my wits end, okay? Oh, God. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. plastic bag just hanging there and i was at my wits end okay oh man yeah uh yeah so it really didn't take me long to go back on the couch and hear them playing in there again playing start littling around yeah like making their own version of mad magazine or whatever you know uh just being goofy kids in there. Like, they're just laughing like crazy at me, basically. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Putting up posters of NWA in the garbage bag. And MWA. Yeah. What? Yeah, we should. Yeah. So I so i just i'm like that's it you know um in my mind so i was by myself like you know and then i get up and sneak in quietly grab the plastic bag shut with my hands pull it off the wire, bang it two, three times against the... This is not me.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Okay, guys? Two, three times against the cupboard door. And then, of course, that motion made the bag rip. A mouse flew out of the bag and literally shuddered a bit and died in front of me.
Starting point is 00:37:04 And instantly was like, what have I done? And I was so sad. And we had a balcony door right there, and I opened it, picked it up by the tail, and was like, no! And threw it out into the yard. And then I was so sad forever. And it's literally like, this is therapy, saying it. But I hammered it.
Starting point is 00:37:23 I hammered it like thor's hammer against the wall wow you know i don't think it's that bad yeah i think there are uh that was my wits end yeah at least it it went quickly yeah i yeah i worked at um like when i worked on a gas pipeline like that was one of my like first thing in the morning duties was to empty out all the mousetraps in the office man there was like seven of them always full like every day because it was just out in the morning duties was to empty out all the mousetraps in the office man there was like seven of them always full like every day because it was just out in the field right and so like it was just like the place for my field mice like just get an owl yeah just but then what do you do to get rid of the owl? Oh, yeah. I don't know. A hawk? The owl took my job, guys. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Yeah. Well, I did think about that. I was like, because my neighbor was saying, oh, yeah, I hear that you have to take them two kilometers away. And so, you know, I might go take them to the forest. And I was like, well, just take them to a field and a bird will eat them. Yeah. It would be so funny to just like release it and then a hawk just like yeah it's like you're just leaving it up to you're just letting someone else do your dirty work and then you film it with your phone you're like hawk eats mouse yeah why don't you put it on youtube dumbass hawk
Starting point is 00:38:42 eats mouse fail um don't do the sticky trap whatever because they get stuck to it their limbs but then they
Starting point is 00:38:52 freak out their bodies and they rip themselves apart oh jesus picture that I don't want to it's too late
Starting point is 00:39:00 like the cause we only ever we only ever found the little turds oh nice until until the mouse was there the other day It's too late. Because we only ever found the little turds. Oh, nice. Until the mouse was there the other day. And it's way, like, you can't imagine how small this thing is.
Starting point is 00:39:14 It's so tiny and cute. I wonder if those little turds came from a mouse that saw a mouse dressed up as a velociraptor. My shimmery mouse pants. Yeah, like, ah! My mouse shorts. We all know how to do the mouse voice Isn't that crazy? Mouse! Wait, are we the voice of the mouse? Oh, yeah, maybe
Starting point is 00:39:35 What's the mouse voice? The voice when you see a mouse The high pitched voice You're not saying a voice of when you see a mouse You're talking about the voice of the mouse. Right? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Well, then why did it say mouse? Why would a mouse say that? It doesn't say what it is. Velociraptor. That's what it should have said. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Come on, Chris Locke.
Starting point is 00:39:56 We are a ride-or-die podcast. I told you that. Right now, I'm dying big time. I'm dragging behind the bike. Ouch. Ouch! Mouse! Did you guys know that I've never seen a photograph of Kim Kardashian? She's kind of like
Starting point is 00:40:12 rhombus shaped. She's got a real rhombus on her. She's like a bunch of pictures that learn how to draw cartoon characters and they first start with just circles. You just stop at the circles. Yeah, that's Yeah, like it'd be really easy to make like a balloon art of her yeah, I just get four balloons
Starting point is 00:40:38 Those cartoon instruction books are on yay loves those four balloons When you're learning how to draw Donald Duck, they always skip five steps. The steps that take it from circles to Donald Duck. Yeah, exactly. Circles and rods and... And then finish.
Starting point is 00:40:57 And then he's always... What's Donald Duck's deal? He's always trying to steal peanut butter. Yeah, yeah.

Or your pretzzels i'm not one of those guys that does a donald duck voice oh you're not no i thought that used to be your big closer yeah well yeah i you know well this is donald duck in traffic yeah i think that would sound a little something like this that's donald Duck being ripped in half By a glue trap

It's like you used to be able to just whatever, just whenever, whatever, drink whatever you want. And now, like, yeah, exactly what you said, like two, well, I think it was three beers, but three beers on a patio. I think it was the mix.
Starting point is 00:48:57 I don't know. I sort of like I, when I was, I never drank until I was legal to drink. And then even then I was like, oh, beer tastes gross. Oh, vodka tastes gross. So it took me a long time to even like anything. And then now there's like a few drinks I like, but I'm summertime. I'm like, oh boy, I'm lining up like my 10 favorite cocktails. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Well, that would be fun. I guess I should have done that instead of having basically three things of bread in the middle of the day. I should have had a fun summertime cocktail. Yeah, that is what it's like for me now, too. It just turns you into an anchor. That's why I just do gin. My wife and I actually started uh having like an actual gin martini or like in the evening together yeah well i don't know if that's a sign of a good or bad

Starting point is 01:06:42 maybe a stroller or something i didn't really pay attention to it. And one of the women said to the other women, so do people just think it's a service dog? And the other one said, you know, no one's ever asked. And I looked over and it was like a Fendi, like a fancy dog cart. And it was a tiny little Chihuahua in this cart. And of course it wasn't a service dog. What service is that dog providing?
Starting point is 01:07:09 Chilling off. I assume their conversation was like, how can you bring a dog in here? Do people just think it's a service dog? Was it in a purse or just a cart? A cart. In a Fendi cart. The whole cart was Fendi, including the dog carrier. Was there anything that belonged to the woman in the cart other than the dog?
Starting point is 01:07:27 More Fendi stuff. Yeah. Going on a Fendi spending. A wallet. Why? Why? Why are you asking? It could be a service.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Like, can you pass me my Lifesavers? Dog tic-tacs. Okay. Can you pass me your life? The dog is all drooling. Thanks, dog. Get the lifesaver started for me. Can you activate this Retson in these certs?
Starting point is 01:07:55 Would that count as a service dog if it just brought you the newspaper in the morning? Yeah. And your slippers in the evening. And you were blind. Yeah. Yeah. How did dogs do that i guess they would need a dog door to go outside and get the newspaper no him and the paper guy
Starting point is 01:08:11 have an understanding the paper guy brings it in through the window yeah ross yeah thank you it's ross it's very horny um the uh but my i've never taught my dog to do anything useful Like other than No nothing I saw it chase that ball And you don't want that ball running around the house on its own That's true Although we wouldn't have even bought it if we didn't have a dog That's true
Starting point is 01:08:38 Conundrum Which came first the ball or the dog The dog Simple answer The dog I was duck. Simple answer. The duck. I was there. I paid for everything. It was the chicken. I was there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:52 I'm not a chicken. It was the egg though, right? Yeah, of course. Egg from the sky. But that egg came from the chicken. It came from the sky. Everything came from the sky, fell on the earth, had bruises, and a few generations later we were all okay. Yeah, except for the bananas.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Still bruising. Ah, fun. Peace out, bananas. Yep. So is that all the overheards this week? No, I got one! Oh, okay. I have another one.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Oh, man. Who's turn is this? No one cares. My overheard, well, it was said to me. I was at the Value Village. I'll count it. You'll count it? You'll allow it?
Starting point is 01:09:30 Yeah. Value Village for the listener. A thrift. A thrift store. Yeah. Your Macklemore's, et cetera. I went. I thought I was gay.
Starting point is 01:09:41 And then that's Macklemore's other song. I thought I was gay because he kept his room clean. When I was in the fifth grade, I thought I was gay. And then that's Malcolm Moore's other song. I thought I was gay because he kept his room clean. When I was in the fifth grade, I thought I was gay. Because my uncle was. I kept my room straight. And I was good at drawing. I like to suck nicks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:54 I was good at drawing nicks. Anyways. I was standing in line with an old lady who bought a very fancy hat. And her friend came up. How fancy a hat do you get at a Valley Village? Well, this was like it was like a funny like old lady is like going
Starting point is 01:10:12 to do a crazy tea party hat and her friend came up and modeled a hat for her and was like, what about this one? And she was like, I don't know. And the lady walked away and I was like, oh don't know. And the lady walked away. And I was like, oh, what's the, why the hats?
Starting point is 01:10:29 You talked at her? Yeah, I said, why the hats? And she said, we're going to a fancy tea party. Well, she might not be going. That's not her hat that she's picking. And I just thought that was so funny. I was like, oh, you're like throwing shade on your crazy. On your hat pal. Yeah, your hat pal. You're going to this tea party together. But she's like, no, you're like throwing shade on your crazy. On your hat pal. Yeah, your hat pal.
Starting point is 01:10:45 You're going to this tea party together, but she's like, not as you wear a sun hat. So, pretty adorable. In a thrift store, what, like I would never try on a hat given. Oh, the lice. Yeah, the lice. I would never buy one. You can't wash it. Buying a hat is probably not a good idea.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Like, even a... Like, I guess if you saw, like, a really nice suit, you could have it dry cleaned, but I wouldn't take their word for it. Yeah, I, like, there's... I think anything that... I buy a lot of T-shirts from the thrift store, and that's got direct skin contact.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Yeah, but you can wash it. Yeah, anything you can wash. That's true. Buying shoes at the thrift store and that's got direct skin contact. Yeah, but you can wash. Yeah, anything you can wash. It's true. Buying shoes at the thrift store is difficult because you can't wash shoes as far as I know. Unless they're Keds.
Starting point is 01:11:32 What can you do with Keds? Just throw them in the wash? Yeah. Men's hats too. Can you do the same with Converse? Maybe Converse. Maybe Vans. Can you do them in the dryer?
Starting point is 01:11:41 I don't know. What do you do? I think you wash them on your knees like Cinderella. Yeah. Men's hats in thrift stores, too, always have that slight, even if they're new-ish, they have the slight hint of a sweat stain on the band. Right.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Right? Yeah. Like brownish. Yeah, buying hats new is probably where it's at, you know? Yeah, it's unfortunate, but you gotta invest. You know what? It's not. You're worth it. Yeah. Well, look at this hat that i brought today look it's already got the salt
Starting point is 01:12:09 oh wow you're a salt yeah you say already i don't know how old that hat is three years i got it in florida keys seriously yeah i sang it but seriously What's your favorite key? Largo? Oh, you know. No, Montego. No, it's Key West, man. Oh, yeah. Hemingway's house. We did a tour.
Starting point is 01:12:31 Did you? Damn, that guy was cool. I prefer Kanye West. What was in his house? I've never seen a picture of him. I like Kanye. What was in Hemingway's house? What do you see?
Starting point is 01:12:40 What's there? Actually, a million cats. Really? Yeah, and they're all... Like, it's a big part of the tour they almost like do the tour about the cats more than right anyway i'm serious are they like taxidermy cats this is the thing it's like magical it's like a huge family that were generations and generations of the original family of cats that the heminoys had yes oh so
Starting point is 01:13:01 they're all like live cats wow they're all they're all his muses uh-huh no um and do they actually live in the house but they all live in this house and on the property and they run they walk around and they definitely do walk around like they own the place like i'm like like all cats yeah exactly yeah i was just wearing a towel just got out of the i actually think the simpsons reference it because the original cat that the family had uh was called snowball oh and so they are literally like snowball three snowball six oh wow oh yeah huh um yeah so it's like all original cats from the snowball that's some fun facts we just got some fun facts what um have read Hemingway? Yeah, I've read a few.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Have you? Yep. I've only read The Old Man and the Sea. That's a good one. I liked it. It's short. It's peppy. It mentions Joe DiMaggio a lot. That's the one where the man doesn't actually get to make a tuna sandwich. Yeah. You could probably get a sandwich out of it.
Starting point is 01:14:02 But not much more. Really? Yeah. Okay. We'll see. What else should I read? The Sun Also Rises is his best book in my HO. That's the only other one I've read is that. And I had to read it in high school. Oh, that's required reading for you?
Starting point is 01:14:22 That was pretty cool. I guess. Oh, you didn't like it? Yeah, it was fine. It's good. I read it in high school for fun, but then I read it... You know, it's one of those... It's so funny.
Starting point is 01:14:32 You read all these books when you're a teenager, and you're like, yes, okay. And then you read it 10 years later, and you're like, oh. Yeah, I need to read stuff like that and other classics as an adult. Yeah. Like, I only read Great Expectations, like, a year ago. And they were so great. It was... It exceeded my expectations.
Starting point is 01:14:56 And, like, I never read... I assume everyone reads Catcher in the Rye as a teenager and is like, oh, this... I identify with this. And then reads it as an adult and is like oh this i identify with this and then reads it as an adult and they're like oh this guy's the fucking worst yeah that is catcher in the rye is definitely the exception maybe the catcher in rye and bukowski are the exception because when you bukowski you're like yeah um right you're like oh i feel alienated too uh and i'd like beer now yeah i've only seen barfly oh okay but then when you get older you read it and you're like just go out and make friends yeah like is a guy when you when you're
Starting point is 01:15:33 a teenager and you've never met anybody like bachowski right like ah that guy's super cool and then when you meet somebody like in real life you're like yeah shut up yeah yeah and if you watch a documentary like footage of him you're like oh this guy's so shitty man yeah like he's like yelling at all the women and it's really weird it is like that happened to me when i was in my 20s for sure i saw a documentary and i was like you're a jerk yeah like for any of the young dudes who are listening he's pick a better dude oh yeah who what dude henry miller yeah can i tell you why not he married uh marilyn rowe at some point was that henry no no that's arthur miller arthur miller right henry miller wrote joe dimaggio that's right i'm always thinking
Starting point is 01:16:17 joe dimaggio henry miller wrote tropic of cancer and when i was like 20 i think i got kicked out of my house for a summer. And then I got my own apartment after that. It was great. I was wild. But I read Tropic of Cancer at that time when I'm like spending my days in a sunny park in the summer and then crashing at friends' houses. So everything was romantic for a moment. Right.
Starting point is 01:16:40 You see what I'm saying? Yeah. And then Henry Miller had this like same thing. Like I'm going to Paris with $5 in my pocket. Let's see what happens. So it was so, I think you need a weird situation to be in. But it was really good. Yeah. My only knowledge of him is from the Seinfeld episode.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Oh, totally. With Bookman. Okay, I take it back. Don't read that. You had a second overheard. Yeah, I just wanted to say this. This is like the most literate the podcast has ever been. Yeah, we really, and I...
Starting point is 01:17:10 And I think we faked our way through it pretty well. Go ahead, second overheard. I wanted to tell you guys this one because it's sort of the same theme of the streetcar one. And because I just remember both of these because i thought they were so brilliant and it doesn't happen that often because you know public transit everyone's usually like shy and ignoring each other jupiter is real stormy right i wouldn't want to go there no which one jupiter yes especially this exactly yeah can't breathe you know what i mean but like i was on this subway and um not this one's not that big a deal.
Starting point is 01:17:46 I thought it was cool, though. Stop building it up. I'm sitting on a seat on the subway, and it stops at a stop, and an old man's getting off. And before he gets off, he turns to a young girl sitting on the seat, and he goes, I hope this is Hawaii. Isn't that amazing? Yeah. It was like Osgood
Starting point is 01:18:06 Station. You know what I mean? This is Hawaii. I love that old man. I want to be an old man so bad. You will. Give it time. I mean, I might not.

And then, like, the older you get, you're like, I can't keep thinking we're the last generation. I have to get a real job. I know. Well, and also, it's like every generation figures that they're the last one, right? But it's totally us.

Starting point is 01:27:02 That's Tom Sharpling's idea. Oh. My adopted sister-in-law hope you get your show back I've heard rumors nice my sister-in-law was about three years old at the time this is at a wedding and the marriage celebrant
Starting point is 01:27:18 was up to the you're standing here in the presence of family and friends when a tiny voice from the crowd says, ooh, presents. Cute, right? Yeah. That's why you have kids, guys. For the cuteness.
Starting point is 01:27:34 Absolutely. I laugh so much when people in an audience respond to just a part of a speech. Yeah. As if they're being talked to. Can I tell you one of the funniest things are you guys trying to wrap this no no yeah um my friend tom and i were in waterloo ontario doing a show recently that's where he does where napoleon it's where he yeah he's pretty brutal he didn't die but he ate something he didn't like for sure but uh never again um yeah so oh yeah it was one of like a local comedian was up uh before us
Starting point is 01:28:11 and he started he's just starting when we're standing in the back watching the show and he's just starting his joke and he goes so what i'm doing now is uh i'm a teacher for uh grade four kids kids in grade four and this one guy watching the show in the back goes, oh, yeah. Like we couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like they're at a coffee table or something, like a kitchen table. I love that.
Starting point is 01:28:38 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Go on. That's good because, like, you know, the comedian's being genuine. Yeah. And it's being real and people are responding to that. Yeah they just get carried away like watching a guy talk
Starting point is 01:28:49 conversationally. Oh yeah. It's hard to say conversationally. I don't think conversely means the same thing right? No it's like an opposing. That's when you wash your converse shoes. Boom. In addition to overheards

Starting point is 01:29:37 it's going to be decadent as fuck that's very cool like Caligula that guy knows we it like oh we're gonna have some crazy dinner parties like sitting down everything decking it as fuck the chairs aren't gonna match the table but it's not gonna matter yeah we're not well we're not a part of the story yeah yeah but it's still gonna be pretty fucking dead yeah the chairs aren't even gonna match each other yeah it's gonna be a It's going to be a rock. It's going to be a rock.
Starting point is 01:30:07 See that run-down old shack over there that's all boarded up? I heard there's a table inside that's decadent as fuck. I bought a candle and everything. I'll straight up kill a guy for a table. Yo, let's order KFC and put it on this decadent table as fuck. Like the decadent family in that KFC commercial.
Starting point is 01:30:27 I don't know why I'm being so judgmental about these guys. Oh, that's the point. Yeah. Okay. We know these guys. I mean, look, we came up with a name for this podcast before we really knew what it was. Yeah. We should be calling it.
Starting point is 01:30:39 We judge you. Yeah. Jerks. We judge the jerks we overhear, or that you overhear. We never judge you listening. We love you. Yeah, you're the best. Keep it up.
Starting point is 01:30:50 Yeah. Keep listening. Yeah. Next phone call. Hey, Dave and Graham, it's Patrick Floyd from Omaha. I'm calling in with an overseen. I was just in the bathroom, and I watched a guy eat an apple while he was peeing at the urinal.
Starting point is 01:31:03 Wow. Wow. Yum. You have to like apples? I was going to say you have to like fruit, but really specifically apples. I guess what he overheard was the chomps. Yeah, and he was also... The crisp chomps. No, he said, how do you like these apples? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Like a lot. Yeah. Look, the apple is turning into pee right away. I'm processing the water from the apple. That's not possible, right? No. Well, if you're a high achiever, anything's possible. Anything's possible when you're stupid. When you're a stupid idiot that eats an apple out of a urinal?
Starting point is 01:31:37 Yeah. Hush. That's my impression of biting into an apple. Do it again. Hush. Do you want me to do it? Yes, please. Here's a daffy duck eating an apple
Starting point is 01:31:46 so scary that's like a gremlin i love it yeah but it's daffy duck or donald duck oh no i gotta do it again they're all shitty ducks no way whoa whoa daffy's cool yeah he gets his bill blown around that's all I'm thinking about. Do it. Apple bite, please. Daffy or Donald. Right? That's it. Yours is mellow.
Starting point is 01:32:11 Yeah, but that's what an apple sounds like. Yours is like a hippie eating a duck or just an apple? Just an apple. Just... Oh, yeah. Okay, listener, you do it. Oh, that was good. Yeah, that was pretty good.
Starting point is 01:32:22 We door explored it. Here is your final overheard of 2014. Hey, Dave Graham, Impossible Guest. I have an overheard. I'm a manager at a theme park, and I was training one of my people
Starting point is 01:32:37 to deal with guests and how to speak to them and stuff like that, and I always tell them to be really genuine with them and empathize with them if they have problems, anything like that. And I always tell them to be really genuine with them and empathize with them if they have problems or anything like that. So the first big test for this guy was this family that was very upset about something they had bought there was not, you know, not to their liking and stuff. And it was, like other departments in the park where they were more angry at them,
Starting point is 01:33:08 but, you know, they were talking to us because they could tell that we worked there. So I just wanted to see how he would handle it, and I didn't say anything. I let him do his thing. And so keeping in mind, you know, empathize with people, get in their shoes and stuff. They talk about, oh, we paid all this money, and, you know, we're not getting what we wanted. And the guy, he's just kind of nodding his head, and he goes, guys, what can I say? That is just fucking bananas. B-N-A-N-A-S.
Starting point is 01:33:36 Mm-hmm. All right. That expression, she owns that, right? Gwen Stefani. No, she does not. She does not. You don't think so? No, things can be bananas without referencing Gwen Stefani.
Starting point is 01:33:47 I don't know, man. What about Cracker? That song was only such an impact on you, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it came along at a very, very crucial point in my life. You needed it. You needed some solo Stefani. It is bananas right now.
Starting point is 01:34:00 Well, at the time in my life, shit was something, but I couldn't articulate it. She came along and gave it a word. You did it. Yeah. That's nice. I was like, is shit peaches or what? Isn't it? No, it was bananas.

And I always worried that you'd jump on the show. And then people would be like, oh, this is like a shittier white version of Chris Rock and then he goes okay see you later it was so embarrassing but I'm glad I said it. It didn't work out great.
Starting point is 01:35:37 He killed me. I thought it always laughed I thought his laugh was more like yeah me too so that's how I could tell he was faking it. Yeah.
