Starting point is 00:01:58 come on you're getting no more than me no less than me it's a perfect amount yeah you were saying you were uh you were comparing it to sitting in the middle seat in a minivan in a van of some sort on a road trip when we were complaining about the heat
Starting point is 00:02:11 you were acting like we were crazy yeah you said more heat yeah keep the heat coming we're crazy from the heat like David Lee Roth should we get to know us? sure
Starting point is 00:02:20 get to know us. Cam, you declared this when you walked in the door tonight, that this is the summer of Cam. Very catchy. Because it rhymes with the summer of Sam, which was that one year that that murderer had everything going. His mind has no murder in it.
Starting point is 00:02:40 No? Zero. Well, it's not over yet. Yeah, that's true. You've got a whole month of August ahead of you. Is that a Spike Lee joint? Zero. Well, it's not over yet. Yeah, that's true. You've got a whole, you've got the whole month of August ahead of you. Who, is that a Spike Lee joint? Yeah. Summer of Sam? Summer of Sam. Was it John Leguizamo involved?
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yep. He was, he played the pest. So what, the Summer of Cam, I saw it coming because I bought Calendar this year. I bought Calendar this year. It's in your iphone calendar as well yeah it's uh uh like civic holiday and then just all of july and august yeah labeled summer of sam when you look at your phone you're like why do i have appointments every day how do i turn off these alerts I'm just saying. Every day at 6 a.m.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Don't forget, summer with Cam. Now, you're Cam. Yeah. It's summer. Yeah. What's going on? Yeah, what's happening? Well, because of a motor vehicle accident I was in in October.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Sorry to hear. No, it's terrible. It's fine. It was a rear ender. It's all good. I went into some back injuries, and I've been in some physio. But because of that, my full-time job that I've been working for three and a half years, which was like a nine to fiver and took out a lot of my time.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Yeah. I had to leave due to injury. Right. Why don't you just sit on one of those balls? Yeah. Why don't you sit on a yoga ball? It was too expensive. Far too expensive
Starting point is 00:04:10 for this business. No, and so, yeah, so I've kind of been unemployed and like doing like some contract work here and there.
Starting point is 00:04:18 All right. And I'm like doing, you know, now I've got a job that's like three days a week, but I'm really taking my time getting back into the full-
Starting point is 00:04:25 Is your back okay now? Well, I'm still- For insurance purposes. Yeah. You look awful. Yeah. You're wearing a neck brace. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Yeah. You came in here with two crutches, but then you did a funny dance, so I don't know if you need those crutches. Did you see that viral video of that old man throwing away his crutches and dancing at like a wedding? No. That's pretty great. I didn't see it either. I don't have time for every goddamn viral video of that old man throwing away his crutches and dancing at like a wedding? No, that's pretty great. I didn't see it either.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I don't have time for every goddamn viral video people send to me. But yeah, so I've got all this time off, so I'm just like hanging out at the beach a lot. Wow. And, you know, just doing lots of fun stuff. Take us through a typical cam summer day. Okay. Well, I mean, I'm waking up still early, 9 o'clock, 9.30. Really?
Starting point is 00:05:03 I'm sure. Yeah. Which is early, right? That is early. Catching the second half of Live with Kelly and Michael. For somebody who doesn't have a job, that's pretty early. That is early. Every day you're waking up at 9?
Starting point is 00:05:13 Yeah, about that. Wow. Every morning there's a something in the something. And I wake up to that song. I listen to it all the way through. Shut the door, baby. Don't say a word. And then I read a little bit.
Starting point is 00:05:26 I've been reading a lot of books. Oh, yeah? I'm reading the Rolling Stones interviews from like 1967 to 93 right now. Whoa, that's so many years. Well, it's like, you know, it's not all of them, obviously. How will he Iacocca? It's 1,300 interviews. Oh, I thought it was just the rolling stones
Starting point is 00:05:45 okay what more a lot of repeat answers in here uh yeah it's about uh you know that feeling of satisfaction i'm gonna skim over the how you guys get started question the same favorite color oh it's changed over the years. What's been the best Rolling Stone interview? Oh, since what I've read so far, the John Lennon one about when the Beatles broke up. And it's like when he's just released his new album. I think it's like pretty close to when he got assassinated. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Any foreshadowing in there? Oh, yeah. There's definitely foreshadowing. We were talking about JFK and how that really weirded him out Oh there it is And how America scares him Wow Scary But there's also a really good one
Starting point is 00:06:32 With Pete Townsend From The Who Where he talks about Breaking his guitar And the interview he does Is right after the show That he doesn't break his guitar And he's just like
Starting point is 00:06:42 I didn't want to do it That's all there is to it Yeah Well once you get stuck in that That's your gift Oh he didn't break his guitar. And he's just like, I didn't want to do it. That's all there is to it. Yeah, well, once you get stuck in that, that's your gift. Oh, he didn't break it. It wasn't that he couldn't break it.
Starting point is 00:06:50 No, he didn't want to. Someone is a prankster. You gave him an unbreakable guitar. It was like he was Gallagher and he didn't want to smash the watermelon. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:01 He also has written some nice songs. Yeah, Gallagher's a little. Gallagher has. Yeah. I was... He also has written some nice songs. Yeah, Gallagher's Gallagher has. Yeah. I was watching, I watched a documentary last night about
Starting point is 00:07:09 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Heroes on a Half Shell? Turtle Power. And the guy... Was it on Netflix? It's on Netflix. Okay. I've seen that.
Starting point is 00:07:19 I haven't watched it, but I watched it. The guy who directed or produced the movie, his credit before that was being Gallagher's, the guy who put together Showtime specials. That was his credit going into the movie. So he was responsible for the tarps for the front row.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Tarps. Mallet, weight, and size. Watermelon freshness. Strength of the chair or stool that he uses have you ever seen those they're like a uh i think they're japanese but they you can get them over here the square cube watermelon oh i've never and they're like 300 and they're like they seriously are wow and they're like a novelty item novelty item and they don't taste any better. I think it's not even genetic.
Starting point is 00:08:08 I think it's just like they're raised in a cube. In a cube, yeah. I think Gallagher's ever smashed one of those. I'd make it harder to smash. Is there a Gallagher interview in this book? I haven't gotten to it yet. That might be like the secret interview of the end. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:28 It's like some blank pages. How come books don't do that? A secret chapter. A hidden chapter? Well, it's just a bunch of blank pages. I guess it's done. It's in the end. Whoa!
Starting point is 00:08:47 On a hidden groove. I was just watching this documentary about Action Park. Have you ever seen this? No. It's about this park. It was like an amusement park. There was a water amusement park that was in the 80s, I think. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:03 And it was in the States. Oh, in so many injuries? Yeah. Was it in New Jersey? Yeah. It was known for the most injuries and just having the loosest safety requirements. Oh, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:14 In the interview, the guy who's the son of the owner, they're like, yeah, so we heard there was some drownings at the park. And he's like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We had some drownings. Drownings? I would have expected like broken bones.
Starting point is 00:09:28 He's like, he's pretty unavoidable at a water park. He's like, our water, our, our wave pool bigger than any other wave pool.
Starting point is 00:09:36 There are other people with wave pools, but our wave pool, the first day that we got that going, a lot of people, at least a hundred people got taken out by the ambulance. Just like,
Starting point is 00:09:43 slightly bragging about these things. Oh, wow. Well's like, slightly bragging about these events. Oh, wow. Well, yeah. I mean, we have a regular playground, and kids choke on wood chips all the time. They die. Yeah. It's just, you know what?
Starting point is 00:09:55 It's the result of kids trying to have fun. That's not our problem. Wow. And it's no longer open, this action park? No. Apparently, well, they had to shut down Due to some Court
Starting point is 00:10:07 Things Right The law Yeah But apparently He now has The original park Because all the parks closed
Starting point is 00:10:15 There's a bunch of them That opened Right The original park He now has the lease on again He's reopening it Yeah With safety
Starting point is 00:10:22 As a Major concern Safety park But with one sign that says, hey, don't drown. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, no running. Don't run. There's also, in the documentary, there's a photo of like, classic, like, looks like
Starting point is 00:10:34 it's someone's backyard that has acreage, but it's like a tube, like a, you know, like the black hole water slides are just like a full tube. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like that. And it goes down like probably like three stories and then just has a full loop. And then it comes out and it doesn't even come out into a pool. It just comes out to like a water, like a water slide kind of thing on grass. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And the way they tested it was using a mannequin. And the mannequin came out in pieces. And then they let a bunch of people go down it. So they tested it and they're like, yeah, it's fine. Good enough. All the pieces came down. We just don't want you to lose your arm in it. We don't mind if you lose your arm in it as long as you can find it.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Yeah, they closed it down later that day when there was a bunch of nosebleeds and people breaking bones. I imagine they would do it with computers and engineers. Actual physics involved. Oh yeah, let's get the momentum and put some numbers down on paper. I guess physics always existed in the time of water parks
Starting point is 00:11:48 there was one they were trying to open for this summer that was going to be the steepest slide and they couldn't it's just the tests were no good no good they were just had to keep keep people away from it there's the one that was like it's the highest one and then it had like a big like bump in it yeah yeah the one that was like, it's the highest one, and then it had like a big bump in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The thing kept on flying off. Yeah. The old Sears mannequin. Department store.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Look at that pelvis go. But yeah, there's a part where people were just flying off. Well, not, you know, whenever they tested it, they couldn't keep people on the thing. And then, so it's this summer not no good for this summer that's the only time as a water park oh yeah if you miss summer you're not going to cash in on christmas i mean no maybe if you live in a uh sunny area or if you have an indoor water park like great wolf lodge right never been would love to go I went last year What's the Review Humid
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yeah For an indoor thing You go You enter the pool room And you just get You get enveloped In steam But those slides
Starting point is 00:12:56 Are great Great slides And A lot of kids And a lot of like Hey Warnings about Hey don't
Starting point is 00:13:03 Pee and poo in the water Like A lot I think a lot of kids and a lot of like, hey, warnings about, hey, don't pee and poo in the water. Like, a lot, I think a lot of people leave with infections. Yeah, that's part of the water park experience. If you don't, a week after, if you don't have something rash that won't go away or a scrape that's not healing.
Starting point is 00:13:19 A scrape that's growing to a bigger scrape. Yeah, you're like, wait a minute. That was like, I don't think I ever went down any water slide without ending up with some sort of scrape. I don't know. The back, the back ridges. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:34 You go down and you'd like, I remember seeing a guy at Colts Lake water slides, walking around like really good farmer tan at the. And then like turning around and then just like every bone in his spine was just like shaved off because he went down. Went down. He went down. He did it. I remember there was one, I think it was at Splashdown Park in Tawasin. And you would get, you would land in the, and it was just too shallow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:06 My heels would get cut up every time just going into the... It would be like impact. You'd feel it on your heels, and then you would also have scrapes. I feel like all the good physicists, they work on roller coasters and whatnot. And space. Yeah, and then the kind of the guys who barely graduated they get to design water well the guys they don't quite like they got the basics but you know yeah i mean water is slippery well what if we put oil too expensive we went over the
Starting point is 00:14:42 margins it's not gonna work this is all happening in a garage where they just have a bunch of plumbing pipes that they're putting together. That's what the one that I used to go to, which was the recreation center that had one that, it was all indoor, but it had one part that went outside. Then you went back in. It was so cold when you went outside. Oh, really? Because it was just out in the element. Was it in the winter? Yeah, in the winter.
Starting point is 00:15:10 It was a year-round because it was indoor. But it was covered. You weren't outside. No, it was covered, yeah, but you were technically outside of the building just in a flat fiberglass tube that had no insulation. That's great. So it would just be like, indoor, indoor.
Starting point is 00:15:26 No, you're outdoors. It's freezing cold. And the tube was open? No, no, the tube was closed. It was enclosed, but it was freezing. Yeah, it wasn't heated. Like, would there be little spots of ice at the top where not very much water was traveling?
Starting point is 00:15:42 Just you go through and just break. There's just always icicles. Yeah. Just a part that's always frozen when you come around the side. Ow! Yeah. But the bottom of the pool
Starting point is 00:15:55 is all like jaggedy, you know. Andy? Why don't they make it smooth? Like I think in their mind they're like, they need grip. They need some sort of grip
Starting point is 00:16:04 to walk around. Yeah, because they're going so fast. If we make the bottom smooth, people will slide into the next dimension. Oh, man. These aren't good physicists. Yeah, we got to keep all of our people at this water park in this dimension. If people reach 88 miles per hour they will travel back
Starting point is 00:16:26 and their parents won't meet. I've been on good authority. So you during your summer of cam We've only got it up
Starting point is 00:16:35 to the book reading. Yeah. You wake up 9 a.m. You read a book. Read a book for a bit then I make myself Mr. Noodles for breakfast

Starting point is 00:17:08 Throw a football around in the water, anything like that? I haven't gotten to that point yet. With this back, it's like I can't really get to be too agile, the most agile of my life. Where are you going? Are you swimming in the ocean or what are you doing? Third Beach. Just right on down to Third Beach. And what is that?
Starting point is 00:17:29 What's that body of water? What are you swimming in? English Bay? It's like past English Bay, out a little bit farther from like, I don't know any of the, I've lived here my whole life. I don't know any, well, like, I don't know where one, but it's all the same water. It's all the Pacific Ocean. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not the Pacific Ocean. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:45 You're not in the river. Yeah, yeah. This is saltwater. Saltwater. And it's on the. It's cold. It's on the most, like, northwest corner of Stanley Park. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Yeah. All right. So now, I mean, at the beginning of the season, because of all the, all the, all the water coming down from the mountains and all the silt and all that. The water's really brown. Oh, okay. And you're walking on your knees and you can't see your feet. But now you can see your feet.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Ah, pretty cool. Yes. All right. Yeah. Yeah. You don't hear that on the news. What's the silt? Silt reports.
Starting point is 00:18:24 How clear? You can barely see two feet in front of my face. Yeah, I never considered that. I just assumed, you know, sometimes it's muddy. Who cares? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never knew what caused it. This is the prime.
Starting point is 00:18:40 I was talking to some friends. Already this summer, I've spent a few minutes standing waist deep in the ocean while eating an ice cream sandwich with three friends, which was great. This sounds, that's, now you're really, now you're on my way. Sounds like a nature's circle journey. You just have one ice cream sandwich in the middle. So you're waist deep, you're eating an ice cream sandwich. Waist deep, so you're cool from the waist down and then you're hot, but you're eating an ice cream sandwich. So you're cool from the waist down and then you're hot,
Starting point is 00:19:06 but you're eating an ice cream sandwich and that's cooling you off up top. So it's a burn out. That relief of an ice cream sandwich from my whole torso. But we were just talking about how we used to get cheeseburgers and we were so excited about the cheeseburgers
Starting point is 00:19:22 and being at the beach a few years ago that we'd run into the water, dive in, keeping the cheeseburger above the water, and then take bites of the cheeseburger and swim underwater while chewing, keeping the cheeseburger above the water. Before? Yeah, why is this for you? Did you steal these cheeseburgers? And defy some gods?
Starting point is 00:19:41 Yeah, this was like our style of getting bottle service. Like this is us being playboys. Let's go way out and eat some cheeseburgers. Did you ever think of putting on a snorkel mask and just eat the cheeseburgers through that? Stuffing it down? Yeah. I'm sure that works for fries.
Starting point is 00:19:57 It's hard for a cheeseburger. Wow. I've never eaten a cheeseburger in the ocean. I've never enjoyed the ocean that much. Yeah. How many days have you spent at the beach this summer, Grant? Oh, zero. Zero.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Zero. That'll bring my grand total of beach time I've spent since I've lived in Vancouver to one. I don't you know it's okay it's great everybody in Vancouver is in great shape you're doing great
Starting point is 00:20:28 keep showing off your butts good for you but then then I just get hot and I just I gotta get out of here I just gotta get out I'm not
Starting point is 00:20:38 participating the dog enjoys it a lot I know that that's something I that's the only time I go to the beach it's like if we get if we get there now uh the tide will be out really far and the dog can go running
Starting point is 00:20:50 and uh chase crabs and stuff yeah dogs like to rub themselves into the crazy smells of the ocean yeah yeah yeah so do humans um what do you always go to the same beach or do you tour around? I usually just go to third beach cause it's a nice ride and it's, uh, usually not too busy if you go at the right time. Okay. Yeah. Cause like, I remember I used to like put up a poster. Well, now it's going to be busy if you.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah. No one go to third beach is the worst. Yeah. You just blew up your spot. Cheeseburger beach. As we, as we know it. Free cheeseburgers. As long as you agree not to get them wet.
Starting point is 00:21:28 But I had to put up posters, and I used to have to put up posters around Kitsilano, and I'd walk along Kits Beach, and that plate, that's zero. It's all people. There's no way. It's like a whole beach just made of people. There's no sand in sight. You can't play Frisbee. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:43 No, you can't play it. Because everyone gets in your way. Yeah, everything. You can't do any beach activities. So that's no sand in sight. You can't play Frisbee. Yeah. Because everyone gets in your way. Yeah. Can't do any beach activities. So that's no good. I don't spend time at Kitsby Beach. Who does, though? So many people do.
Starting point is 00:21:54 People that are super fit. Oh, is that? Maybe that was my problem. Maybe that was my exposure to the beach was Kitsby Beach. I remember I used to. Everybody's so fit. I used to listen to talk radio, and there was a host who was talking. It was something about welfare cheats or people who are not working for their money, and they're spending their days at Kitts Beach with the strippers.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I guess that's where strippers do go to just kind of unwind. Because I go to the strip club. Where do they go? That just kind of unwind. Because I go to the strip club. Where do they go? That's how I unwind. Oh boy, you go to the strip club, get them wound. Because they're like, I'm not allowed to sleep with the clients. I'm not allowed to sleep with the clients. They're all pretty attractive.
Starting point is 00:22:41 They're all wearing their nice track pants. They see you and it really pushes them over the edge. Oh, I got to unwind now. What woman could tame him? Maybe he'll be at Kids Beach. Oh, yeah. Probably putting up posters. Have you ever gone to Vancouver's famous nude beach?
Starting point is 00:23:03 Wreck Beach? You know what? I've only gone three times all right there we go but this is this is over like a several number of years but the first time i ever went was i had just gotten back from uh like a year trip that i was on and i was in the best shape of my life nice and i went with went with two friends of mine, these two girls, and we went down there. And it's like, you know, like when you live in a city, like now there's no way I'd do it because like, you know, you know too many people. You know too many people.
Starting point is 00:23:32 But I'd just gotten back and I was like, I don't know anybody, even though I still knew people. But yeah. So we went down there and I went full naked. Yep. And they were fully naked and we just kind of like lied down. And then when we got up to go swimming Sure, of course.
Starting point is 00:23:47 The bottoms were put back on. Oh, okay. But that's the only time To go swimming? Yeah. Why? That's not fun. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:23:52 I don't know. I would just take them off to go swimming and put them on in the dry land. Yeah, exactly. Which is weird because I don't want to get pee on them.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Was it okay? Did you run into anybody that you knew? I thought the story was going to end with you running into your English teacher. Or the Prime Minister. My anatomy teacher. You got it all wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:13 You've got yours upside down. Oh, no, wait. Sorry, that was the slide. It was very uneventful. We just were naked And that was the first time Where I really like Tanned my D up
Starting point is 00:24:28 Yeah First The first of many I find it really embarrassing When there's Tan lines on it From I put a little bikini top on
Starting point is 00:24:41 Yeah He rested on a grill Yeah That's my thing Is that I went Put a little bikini top on. Yeah, he rested on a grill. Yeah, that's my thing, is that I went when I was first here in Vancouver. I didn't do the naked thing, but every year since, I'm like, there's just more people I know. Yeah. That would, you know, potentially be naked. Would you do naked with a t-shirt? Yeah, but that's the top.
Starting point is 00:25:04 It's just the top. Which is, I think... Which is something that happens. What? That is something that happens down there. What, where dudes are walking around with just the top? Oh, yeah. That's the worst look for a guy.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Oh, yeah. The worst possible look. Sexiest look for a girl. Unsexiest for a girl. Well, I mean, a sports jersey. Yeah, that's right. Or a guy just walking around with a sports jersey. Yeah, that's right. Or like, what's the other thing? Girls will do like a, not real girls, but in photo shoots.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Yeah. Like, just like a, what would you call it? A button up shirt? Yeah, yeah. Maybe an elusive necktie. Yeah. Guys doing that at Rec Beach. He's just looking for help.
Starting point is 00:25:45 He's just like, ah, somebody stole my pants. I'm a businessman. I came down here for a meeting and these guys stole my pants. And my briefcase. It was a setup. And now they're taking pictures of me. I'm going to give them to my associates. Oh man, that would be the greatest prank to pull out a businessman.
Starting point is 00:26:08 It's a prank they pulled on Pete Townsend once. Oh, wow. Well, it sounds like you got summer well in hand. Like, at least you're taking advantage of the beach and all the things. I don't feel like I have to. Well, I know I need to get, like, a serious job soon enough really well i mean a job what about summer consultant oh yeah hey and i could travel with summer that way yeah yeah yeah absolutely oh yeah go go south in the winter if there's any eccentric billionaires out there Needing a summer consultant. Needing a summer consultant. Wouldn't you love to meet, like, I feel like one time I almost had that with, like, somebody who was, like, crazy rich.
Starting point is 00:26:52 And I used to work at this coffee shop, and the guy really liked the way that I prepared an espresso. And he was like, yeah, we're doing a film shoot or whatever in Switzerland or something. He's like, and if the budget is what I think it's going to be, I'm going to offer you a job to come. Just make him coffee. Wow. The budget didn't come. The short end of that story is it never happened. But can you imagine being just like, yeah, this guy really likes the way I fit his shirts or whatever.
Starting point is 00:27:22 He drinks one cup of espresso a day. Yeah. And it has to be prepared just so. Your 15-minute work day. Yeah, yeah, right? And then I just, yeah. And then it's the winter of cam. I had a friend who worked for a really rich guy who was his personal interior designer or something. Pretty much all he did was go around with this guy's credit card
Starting point is 00:27:46 and buy him $3,000 rugs for his house. Wow. That's pretty good. It didn't last. No, because once the rugs are all bought, he's not burning them. Bring me rugs for my crazy fireplace that only burns rugs.
Starting point is 00:28:02 It's insatiable. I'm crazy, and I made this deal with the devil um yeah ah like yeah there should be a website that goes on the pairs eccentric billionaires with people who want with people with a low work ethic yeah yeah or or people with a crazy idea you know that need an eccentric billionaire or like yeah people who like medically need 23 hours of sleep a day oh that would be amazing you if if there was a person that medically needed 23 hours of sleep a day, I would nominate that we put them in a zoo. And then, you know, people can watch him and stuff. Oh, yeah. Watch him slumber.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Yeah, yeah. I just downloaded this new app for my phone that records my voice or records any sounds I make while I'm sleeping. Is that right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it, what's it called uh i have so many things to remember to do before bed now do you talk a lot in your sleep well i abby says that when i do talk it has been very funny in the past but she is a very sound sleeper so she doesn't notice it's called sleep talk this app sleep talk um and uh most for the most part, I don't talk in my sleep.
Starting point is 00:29:28 It records basically the whole night, but it only saves when there's noise. So you'll wake up in the morning and it'll say, 12 recordings. And it'll be the time you got up and rolled over or the time you went to the bathroom. You listen to it and it's some other guy's voice? What? There's some dude singing to me. I do impressions in my sleep. I have the world's greatest sleep borax.
Starting point is 00:30:02 But yeah, no, so far it's a bust. Yeah, for me For me that would Just be farts Oh yeah That's what I do Oh yeah I want to know
Starting point is 00:30:09 How many times I fart in my sleep But it's this Would it pick That up I don't want to Have this conversation Yeah
Starting point is 00:30:16 Guys I got to tell you though Oh god I'm sorry But part of Summer of Cam Is I'm single For the first time in like five years. All right.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Are you ready to mingle? I'm pretty ready to mingle. I've been mingling. Oh, you're mingling. Okay, yeah. I don't like that this is going to end up with a fart. I know. It's pretty embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:30:39 I'm ready. I was at a girl's house. Just chatting? Just chatting. And we were falling asleep. We were falling asleep. Sure. And I was like, we were talking, and I was like, falling asleep while we were both lying there.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Right. And then I woke up to myself letting out the hugest fart. And I woke up startled. So startled. This is like the first time i've ever like hung out with this girl sure and i wake up so startled not the last and i was like what was that was that you she's like no that was you it's like oh okay luckily you scared off The robber that was breaking in Yeah But she laughed She laughed it off
Starting point is 00:31:27 It's all good Oh good Oh good Nice Yeah things are good Oh boy That was stressful for me Sorry Dave
Starting point is 00:31:33 I know you were like Dave was literally cringing With his head between his knees In the corner Yeah I went off to the corner I'd be interested to see I ate a nice big sandwich
Starting point is 00:31:44 With my buds To see what I do You know off to the corner. I'd be interested to see. Eat an ice cream sandwich with my buds. To see what I do, you know, in my sleep. Yeah, that's why I got it. I was like, what am I saying?
Starting point is 00:31:52 But I feel like if I set up a video, I'm practically inviting a poltergeist into my house. Right. That's true. Anything that's like
Starting point is 00:31:59 night vision. Yeah, yeah. If I set up a camera, I'm just asking for either that or I just find out, you know, one of my roommates is coming out and resting his balls on my head every night. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:09 Every night. And like for a very long time because it's like one of those time lapse. They need their rest. Yeah, you have to fast forward through it. You're like, God, it's only a five-hour tape. Yeah, the only thing, I don't think the app works great i think what if you make a noise that wakes it up and it starts recording but um i haven't noticed like but i don't think it catches that first noise you made and that could be the goal because there was
Starting point is 00:32:42 one time i woke up and i was like oh this i woke up in the middle of the night um and i'm like oh the app app definitely caught what i just did because i was having a dream and i was like half awake and i have a dream dream that i punched a cop oh wow and i went uh oh sorry and i and i woke myself up because I was like, oh, I literally said sorry out loud. And it wasn't on the app. Oh, you know, if it was, you could put that online and be like, this is how a Canadian sleeps. This is how a Canadian punches a cop. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:19 What's going on with you, Dave? Besides your sleep app. Oh, yeah, sleep apnea. I have a breathing machine. I want one of those. Yeah, they're real fun. It's like the one, the nose that hooks up to your nose. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:36 The nose hose. Nose hose, yeah. Here's what's going on with me. Not much. I've been, we've got house guests. Yeah. We've had them uh for well i'd say a couple weeks sure um off and on and um those are the guests off and on they're real funny uh
Starting point is 00:33:57 uh anyway uh so um i've been not doing much, um, but, uh, I've been cooking a little bit and, uh, had some, uh, cooking disasters. Oh, really? Lately. Uh, last night I was making steaks on the barbecue and. Kitchen nightmares. And the, uh, the steaks, uh, had these big, they were New York steaks. And so they have like a big strip of fat along one side.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Yeah. They're all bragging about of fat along one side. Yeah. They're all bragging about how good it is there. Yeah, they're all. It's going to be so crispy when it's cooked. They're bragging about how good the pizza is there. How real pizza is thin crust. Yeah. Can't get a good bagel in Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Anyway, New York steak stuff. Yeah, yeah. The water's different. And they, so I put them down. The fat was so thick on these guys. So I put them down fat side first. Yeah. And I went inside to get my meat thermometer
Starting point is 00:34:56 and came out and they were on fire. Yeah, because, wow. And like neighbors were like, are you okay over there? Like there was so much smoke. And people were outside, too. No one was, like, Dave, there's three levels of fire in your barbecue. Because the steaks are on fire, and the little drip pan is on fire.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Oh, wow. And there's a drip pan below that that's on fire. And it's kind of plasticky. Like, it's... I don't know what it was about the the lowest drip pan but it made the steak sticks like you're eating plastic but they were cooked perfectly otherwise like spot on medium rare yeah flamboyant yeah and the other uh cooking disaster i had was i saw this article online.
Starting point is 00:35:45 I think it was a BuzzFeed post about if you have a rice cooker and you can mess with it. Throw a steak in there and see what that is. And mess with the settings, you put some pancake batter in there. Okay. And it will cook one big pancake. Not a flat pancake, but one like just like pancake yeah like a stack of pancakes without any separation oh like it like literally like a little cake huh uh i that sounds like it's somebody at the office playing a trick but they had all these pictures of them and they
Starting point is 00:36:19 looked so good photoshop yeah photoshop they just took a regular cake and whitened it. Or they just took one pancake and just tripled it. Oh, yeah. They just stretched it out in Photoshop. Yeah. And so I did that. We have a rice cooker. Or I should say we had a rice cooker.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Oh, no. And I put pancake batter in there. It's got to have that somewhere in the instructions not to do that. And what I did next is I turned it on. It was good for a while. Sure. It started bubbling. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:58 And then turned off. And our pancake or our rice cooker. Pancake maker. Pancake maker doesn't have any settings on it. It's just on or off. It turns itself off when it's too hot, which means the rice is done. Right. Or when it feels like something weird is going on.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Someone's pulling a fast one. Yeah. And so this, the pancakes were not done. The pancake was not done. The pancakes were not done. The pancake was not done. So what I did is I took something heavy and I just had it hold the on switch down. While I prepared other things.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Like cut up berries to put on my perfect pancake. Oh, man. And it worked great. It worked great for a while. Like the pancake was really coming together. It was happening, man. And it worked great. It worked great for a while. It looked like the pancake was really coming together. It was happening, yeah. And then a lot of blue smoke. Blue smoke?
Starting point is 00:37:54 Blue smoke of, like, electronics failing. Oh, sure. Electrical fire. Yeah. Not an electrical fire, but just, like, everything inside being like, all the fuses are blown. We're not doing this anymore. I am now a hunk of junk and a little the pancake was a little burnt wow but also completely uncooked
Starting point is 00:38:13 wow but let me ask you this how tall did it become um it uh knee high to a grasshopper. It's not like a regular pancake. Yeah. No, uh, it was, it grew a bit, but it wasn't like it. It wasn't like a quiche size. No, bigger than a quiche. It all depends how much, uh, batter I put in. I put in plenty. Wow.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Wow. Uh, so don't do that unless, I mean, what's a rice cooker cost? 50 bucks? 30 bucks? I don't know. I don't know. You got a rice cooker to get rid of. Wow. So don't do that. Unless, I mean, what's a rice cooker cost? 50 bucks? 30 bucks? I don't know. You got a rice cooker to get rid of. Yeah. This one was a gift.
Starting point is 00:38:51 So I don't know what a rice cooker costs. That's what, my rice cooker was a gift as well. Yeah. Do you have any idea what a rice cooker costs? No, no idea. I don't cook rice. What if I found out they were $500? This was a Dyson rice cooker.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Yeah. The first one that doesn't use a fork. Why, the only thing that could break it is if somebody tried to do something stupid like make a pancake in it. That's the Dyson guy. That's the Dyson guy? He's Southern now? Yeah. Weave engineer.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Oh, hey there. no rolling ball technology wow well i i commend you for trying a well i'm a trier yeah trying a dicey experiment new things um yeah so yeah and then i just uh made more pancake batter and fried them up. Yeah. Like a regular. Yeah, just had some hot cakes. Yeah, flapjacks. I don't know, they were fine? Yeah. Where does flapjacks come from?
Starting point is 00:39:52 I don't know. I don't know where hot cakes comes from either. Well, I mean, you can use some context clues. Yeah, I mean, sure. They hot? Maybe. Are they cake-like? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Yeah, Sort of. Although, pancake, like, they're not really like cake at all. Well, they are. They're sweet and delicious. Yeah, well, that's true. Well, they're not sweet on their own. You have to put stuff on them. They're not as sweet as cake.
Starting point is 00:40:17 It's not like eating a cake. Well, no. Like a cupcake, for sure, that's a cake. But a cake, you have to put icing on. Would you eat a cake on its own? Yeah, absolutely, I would. But that's only because of the way I was raised. How often have you eaten a cake with no icing on it?
Starting point is 00:40:33 With no frosting? Not often, but I would. Like, you know, sometimes you get, like, from the store, like, a Bundt cake or whatever. A Bundt cake. Yeah, you can eat that. My sister makes wedding cakes for a living. And to do fancy shapes and stuff, sometimes she has to shave off some sides. cake. Yeah, you can eat that. My sister makes wedding cakes for a living and to do fancy shapes and stuff. Sometimes she has to
Starting point is 00:40:47 shave off some sides and there's like extra cake around. Does she just bring like cake sides? No, she doesn't bring me anything. But sometimes I'll be over there and I'll be like, can I have some of this? And she's like, of course. I was going to throw it away. Oh, you should ask her to keep all her cake filings.
Starting point is 00:41:04 What for? For eating. I'm not struggling to eat. No, I know, but it's delicious. It's not a depression. It's not as delicious as something I could have instead. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:41:14 No, you could do, though. You'd take all those cake filings, like a couple cake filings worth, and then just, like, bring them to a potluck. Mm-hmm. Like, in a bowl. And never be invited to a potluck again. I heard bowl. Never invite it to a potluck again.
Starting point is 00:41:26 I heard if you put enough cake filings in a rice cooker, you could make a wedding cake. Yeah, you could make a wad of cake and then make your own ice cream sandwiches. You could actually use vanilla cake, chocolate cake, all different types of cake. All sorts of cake. Make your own little marble cake. Put some marbles in there. Homemade yeah homemade marbles i'd like to think those marbles are peanut m&ms in my mind yeah sure oh sure fine you can do whatever you want is there like uh is there any candy that resembles a marble like with like a cat's eye oh like a gobstop like a glass
Starting point is 00:42:01 oh like a glass marble. Oh. Yeah, you know. No? Of course there is. Because that's what you want to bite into when you're eating a cake is a gobstopper. Well, I just want to fool someone. I just want to fool a kid. Yeah. You want a nice piece of marble candy?
Starting point is 00:42:18 No, it's a marble. Or like you're playing marbles with the kid all afternoon, and then you just eat one all of a sudden, and the kid's like, whoa. I could eat a marble. Yeah. As long as I don't have to chew it no you gotta chew it dave you gotta chew it 29 times or else uh on both sides on both sides oh i don't have that kind of time was your were your parents big on forcing you to chew a lot before you swallowed no no my mom was my uh everything we ate was just It was like Goo
Starting point is 00:42:45 Yeah we just ate goo In a What do you call that When you pour something Into something else A trough A funnel Funnel thank you
Starting point is 00:42:52 Funnel goo Yeah Oh funnel cake Oh you could make funnel cake In your rice cooker Yes Graham So yeah Yeah Well good for you For trying some things I think Trying new things Yes, Graham. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Yeah. Well, good for you for trying some things, I think. Trying new things, trying to burn down my house with steaks. Yeah. Graham, what's going on with you? Here's the thing. Uh-oh. Not a... Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I was at... I did comedy all weekend and then, uh, uh, in between, for some reason on Netflix, uh, I've been watching the television show Dragon's Den, uh, which is a, uh, in the, in the States, I think it's called Shark Tank. Yeah. And in Britain, it's called Dragon's Den. Uh-huh. And, uh, you've seen it.
Starting point is 00:43:46 You're watching the Canadian version? Yeah, absolutely. But why? Yeah, I've been asking myself that in the last... Would you watch it if you had cable? No. No. And technically, Netflix has more options than cable.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Just technically, though. And I don't know why. Like, because every episode's the same. Mm-hmm. So it's something you can watch and not really pay attention to. Some jerks come in with their dumb ideas, and then some bigger jerks tell them why they're jerks. Yeah. And then they try to rip them off.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Yeah. And then they say. You're familiar with the show, Cam? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, like, I don't know. A lot of jerks. But I've watched it.
Starting point is 00:44:25 I've watched so many episodes. And like once in a while, there's a product on it that you're like, oh, yeah, I've seen that thing around. That was a thing that kind of made it. Like sex cereal? Yeah. Well, there was one called candy called OMGs or something. And they're around. I've seen that at the grocery store or whatever.
Starting point is 00:44:49 But it doesn't say dragons down on it like it so it actually became like a thing without dragons then being involved no with afterwards yeah no with them being involved but then there was this one product that i was like that's the dumbest goddamn product they have a lot of stupid products on the show but there was one where it was a lady that had eye like eyelashes that you put on your uh uh your car on your car on your headlights have you seen this yes flip up headlights like only where have you seen it someone just today who was it posted it on instagram um on a uh a Mini Cooper had them. Because I literally saw one yesterday like just in the wild
Starting point is 00:45:29 with like a lady eyelashes on the headlights and they told her like this is the dumbest this is never going to sell this is a ridiculous idea. And they didn't buy it? They didn't buy it but then it's like one of the only ones that I've actually seen as a thing.
Starting point is 00:45:49 So were they on like the flip up style headlights or just on a regular? Just on a regular headlight to make it look like the car is a lady, like a pretty lady. But like usually I think circular headlights. This was on just regular rectangular and it was weird. It was weird. It would work better on on the Volkswagen Beetle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But those are all ladies. All of those cars are ladies.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Well, yeah, obviously. You would have to go the other way. You'd have to try and make it look like a man. Give it big zernard, big bushy eyebrows. Yeah, what do you do to a- A big Marx Brothers mustache. What do you do in the morning to make your eyes look more manly? I bush them.
Starting point is 00:46:27 I get a branch. Usually I get a branch from the night before and I keep it in the bathroom overnight. So I don't have to go outside and get a branch. I just rustle them around. I get a branch up in my eyebrows and rustle them around. And then I just leave whatever's in there, you know. And then I get my brow wax out, my brow mousse, and I apply that.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Not wax, you don't wax it. No, no, no. I put wax in them to make them bigger. Oh, like a pomade. Like a pomade. Exactly. Or a cream. And then I do a mousse, and then the hair dryer comes out.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Uh-huh. And that fluffs them up. And that's just the first half. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's just before the shower. Yeah. And then what do you do? Then I get out some grease paint.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Uh-huh. Run some grease paint through each one. Uh-huh. Then I get my eyebrow comb. Tell me the next part. Then I go, I get the powder out. I get my eyebrow powder. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:23 I put that in there. And what does that do? It just darkens it. It makes them more prominent. And that prepares you for the next step. Which is you go and you take a brow liner and you draw in at the bottom of the brow and the top of the brow. Wait, are you just goth? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:47:41 This is just eyebrows. I don't do anything else. I don't wear, not anymore. I don't wear, not anymore. I don't wear leather outfits anymore. That's old Graham. This is new Graham. I put on a nice suit with my power eyebrows.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I go to the office with all the lady cars. One more time, take me through everything you did. There was something called sex cereal that I've seen in stores which I believe came from that show. And is it like...
Starting point is 00:48:11 It is. It comes in a bag. All right. I'm listening. Yeah, yeah. It's like... I think I've seen this too. It's like granola
Starting point is 00:48:19 and I guess estrogen. It's just pills? Granola and's just pills? Granola and then just pills? Yeah, yeah. And it's got the female, it's like different cereals for a man and a woman. Oh.
Starting point is 00:48:36 And the female version has a sexy lady on it, or maybe that's the man version. Oh, what if you, in the middle of the night, you go for just a bowl of cereal. And you're like, I'm attracted to sexy ladies, so I'm going to eat this one. And then you wake up with breasts um i yeah and then the men's one has uh like a shirtless dude on it yeah and i think they're supposed to i don't know enhance your your boners yeah stimulate your genes yeah there's a lot of ideas on it that are like they're like
Starting point is 00:49:07 even the ideas that they jump on are ideas that are just okay like they're the like there's one where there's like a car service that'll come to your place and change your tires at your place and you're like yeah that's fine that's fine there's no but they've done it for like seven seasons and that nobody was like, you know, cure for diabetes. Like nobody ever came up with anything super useful. Um, and it,
Starting point is 00:49:30 but it's like, it's stuff that's already a business. No one's coming with like, I have this idea for stuff, but I don't know how to make it. No, that's totally people like that. Oh,
Starting point is 00:49:40 come on. Like no prototype. Yeah. There was, there's people that have come on with a shirt made out of pizza. They've come up with an prototype. Yeah, there's people that have come on with a shirt made out of pizza. They've come on with an idea. And I guess they're just like, the producers must be like, okay, you got to tear this guy to shreds. Because this guy's just coming in.
Starting point is 00:49:58 He's asking for $150,000 for 5% of his company that does nothing. He's like, you know, but he's like, Oh, if you guys, once you guys invest, like this is really going to take off. That's the pitch that always gets the thumbs down. And where does the money come from? Is it their own money? Their own money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:16 And like the, there was one guy that was, that he was out for the whole season. He never made one deal deal he was out on every single thing he'd say i don't have anything to add to this and i wasn't sure what he did like i was like but what what is your specialty because they had enough yeah crazy kooky things that came through he's like i can't add anything to this i'm like but what why are you here then like if you don't want to buy into crazy kooky ideas ideas. Was he just, like, good on TV? Yeah, maybe, yeah. He was just, like, a handsome guy.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But, like, unless you want to invest in, like, crazy sex cereal or whatever. Like, unless that's what you want for your money. Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's not crazy sex cereal. That would be an instant seller. So, I don't know why I've watched
Starting point is 00:51:07 so many episodes I feel like that would be if you're if you are dating like someone and you go to their house for the first time
Starting point is 00:51:13 and they have sex cereal I feel like that's a red flag that's what they serve you for dinner come over to my place for dinner oh man sex cereal
Starting point is 00:51:24 and just like yeah just Jaeger shots. Yeah. I don't know why you think I'm up to something. I'm just running over here for some cereal and shots. Now finish your shots. Look, it technically doesn't matter if you did the sex cereal. I did it earlier. I guess do it isn't what you're supposed
Starting point is 00:51:46 to do with cereal do that sex cereal oh yeah I did some Captain Crunch earlier I'm riding high um but there's no cereal that can make you good
Starting point is 00:51:56 at sex though right we can all agree you know there's nothing that can make me good at sex but there is uh eyelashes that can make your car
Starting point is 00:52:03 into a pretty lady yeah which will make you more attractive to other cars. I'm happy that before Dragon's Den existed, the inventor that invented the cow print seat cover. Yes. I mean, those blew up. They didn't need Dragon's Den to do that. Yeah. That is true.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Well, truck nuts are in the same family as the eyebrows, eyelashes. Yeah, and they were, like the eyelash thing was laughed. They laughed her out of there. And I was like, yeah, it's as good if not better than truck nuts. Eyelashes for lady cars. People love ruining their cars. That's how you should start a pitch on Dragon's Den. People love ruining their cars. Like bumper stickers never come off. No like that's how you should start a pitch on drag's day people love
Starting point is 00:52:45 ruining their cars like bumper stickers never come off no that's true and like that's true five years ago i had never seen any of those would you just paint over a bumper yeah you do that uh five years ago i had never seen any of those flags that people put in their cars and now like every other car has one. Yeah. For whatever sports team or country or. Whatever's happening that week. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:09 On TSN. Yeah. If they went in there with that, they would say nobody's going to put flags on their car. That's ridiculous. And then, yeah, like exactly. So cow print, all these fucking dumb things that people, like you say, people love ruining their cars. I remember when my friend painted his car with house paint. It wasn't a very good car to begin with, but.
Starting point is 00:53:33 What happened? It just looked bad? And then it came off? Yeah, and then it slowly came off over the course of the winter. It doesn't bind to the car the way that it would to a wood yeah and then do they sell car paint in stores or do you have to go to a car paint shop i guess i guess you could yeah you uh i don't know if they sell it in stores but for sure this guy just painted his car with uh with house paint and uh we all thought it was really funny when he did it because it looked really bad
Starting point is 00:54:05 what color was it it was black oh that's cool yeah well they now i see a lot of cars that are painted matte black and it kind of looks like house paint yeah yeah yeah yeah that's kind of what it looked like except with broad brush strokes sure it looked like a real diy kind of you know outhouse kind of project anyways i didn't get that clear coat so you know if anybody uh has of the three of you has a dragon's den idea i've totally we've had ideas on this show before we just forget them all the time yeah we should we should go in with the pizza shirt. Yeah. Be like, why not? Because one of the guys is Boston Pizza. He's like the guy who founded Boston Pizza.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Be like, sell this at your... This is who we're looking for as a partner. I think our shirt's too good for Boston Pizza. And Boston Pizza's been going in some real weird directions. Tell me more. They've got tacos there now. Okay. They've got... They're like pulling a white spot. Oh, shit. They're like branch there now. Okay. They've got, they're like, they're like, they're pulling a white spot.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Oh, sure. Where they're like branching out into like all these ethnic foods. Yeah. It's like, just stick to what you know. Because where else can you get ethnic foods? Yeah. There's no restaurants that are primarily of that. Although I guess if you live in like a rural area, you only have like, uh, in a small town,
Starting point is 00:55:24 there'll be a Boston Pizza or a White Spot. They won't have, you know, every ethnicity of food. That's true. How did Boston Pizza become a thing? Like, nobody, you know, like, you could see certain things, like Swish LA or whatever, being, like, your favorite place to go get chicken, I guess. But was it, Boston Pizza was nobody's favorite place to go get chicken i guess but was it
Starting point is 00:55:45 boston pizza was nobody's favorite place to get pizza no i've never had pizza there yeah like what how did it i don't know we used to go on dates there they had team pitchers there i remember that that's where i like first drank underage when i was 16 at boston because they had team pitchers that were like it's like three pit yeah team oh no it's like teen not teen team pitchers that were like three pitchers. Yeah, team. Oh, no, it's not team. Not team pitchers. Teen pitchers that were like three times the size of a regular pitcher. And you would just. And we'd go in like being a bunch of my buddies that were all 16 and be like, oh, yeah, that was a big game that we just finished.
Starting point is 00:56:20 We got a pitcher for the table. They're like, well, they're the team. We have to serve. Yeah, we don't need ID. We just need you to be wearing a uniform. The law for the table. They're like, well, they're the team. We have to serve them. Yeah, we don't need ID. We just need you to be wearing a uniform. The law is the law. You guys look like you worked up a sweat. But in a lot of smaller towns, Boston Pizza is the place that stays open the latest.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Oh, I was up in Kelowna this past weekend for a wedding, and they have two Boston pizzas within six blocks of each other. Wow. What is the franchisee who's opening the second? He's like, I just got to siphon off the business from the first one. It works for Starbucks. It can work for us. Yeah. Kiddie corner from each other.
Starting point is 00:57:01 One person goes and has a whole pizza, a Boston pizza, and walks out. Hey! The kitty corner Starbucks aren't here anymore. Yeah. I know. It's a shame. There are still ones that are a block apart, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:14 But like a Boston, like a pizza. But it's not even, like, pizza's not even their strong suit. They don't have a strong suit. Have you tried their Boston? What is their thing that they do? I don't understand. Yeah, I don't know where they got the name. Like, Boston is not known for pizza.
Starting point is 00:57:30 No. And the business has nothing to do with the city of Boston. No, it started in Edmonton. Frankly, it's got nothing to do with pizza. Yeah. But I can see team pitchers being a thing. Yeah. And being the... Yeah. That's what wrote me in. I know in know in like South Surrey, it's the place that's open latest as well.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Yeah, so that's like... Oh boy, this is real regional. But there's got to be chains in the States that people are like, who goes to these? But they're everywhere. Because, I don't know, I've ended up at Boston Pizzas a lot of times. I never, you never, maybe that should be their slogan. You never plan to end up at Boston Pizzas. Well, when we went down for our Northwest tour, we stopped at our first ever Applebee's.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Oh, yeah, that's true. I assume it was an Applebee's. It might have been a Chili's it might have been any of these other what's the Australian one? Montana's Steakhouse nope Outback? Outback Steakhouse
Starting point is 00:58:36 yeah I think they're all just identical yeah they're just kind of like a place that has food and weird things on the wall what's your specialty? sadness mediocre food Yeah, they're just kind of like a place that has food and weird things on the wall. What's your specialty? Sadness. Mediocre food. Diabetes.
Starting point is 00:58:53 And bottomless pops. Yeah. That's true. The bottomless pop things. Non-stop pop. Yeah. Is that Boss Pizza? Yep. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Wow. They ate some beverages. That's them. That's what they got. Pretty good. But that guy who started that is telling people, your eyelash idea is dumb. But if he was in there, I'm going to make a place called Boston Pizza. They would have got laughed out.
Starting point is 00:59:20 How are you different from other restaurants? We're not. We're worse. But we'll be everywhere. That's our strategy. We're going to make an interior in our restaurant in the early 90s that will stand through the test of time. You want to see a hockey jersey in a case instead of on a pretty lady? Or a nude man.

Starting point is 01:00:51 I've been thinking about this. Oh, yeah? There's two that I'm jumping in between. Why don't you give us both? The first one, this happened yesterday when I was at Third Beach. And it was very cloudy, and there was no one on the beach. We were down there at like six. Still went swimming in the water.
Starting point is 01:01:11 It was very nice. But there was this group of women that were down there that had, you know, there was kind of like a one-year-old, a two-year-old. There was like a couple six-year-olds running around, and they kind of had set up on the beach. Obviously, they had been there for the day and uh i was hanging out with my friend and we just kind of overheard one of the women being like yeah i don't know i wouldn't call him slow he's just you know he's in a he's in a grade lower than everybody else but he's like a year older so
Starting point is 01:01:39 you know he's doing good he's doing well and the teacher says that he's, uh, you know, pretty bright and everything. And then one of the other women who just like, it's carrying a baby. She just goes, I'm sorry, but that kid is definitely slow. Wow. It was like really catty.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Like, it was just like, whoa, like leave the kid alone. Maybe he's just working. Moms are mean. Yeah. It was,
Starting point is 01:02:03 it was rough. Yeah. I've, uh, yeah, I mean, we all, the subtext there was that that kid was slow. She didn't need to come in and say it. But also, I think that she has a problem with the kid's mom, obviously. Yeah, right? That's what it is. She didn't bring, like, Rice Krispie Squares like she said she was going to.
Starting point is 01:02:23 When you, when's your birthday? April 23rd. Okay. Because when you're born in the later part of the year, there's a question of like, should we put the kid in this grade or that grade? Yeah. And I was born in December and was in the grade of people born in the same year as me. I could have been, I could have gone a year later to school. And my mother always regretted it.
Starting point is 01:02:50 Oh, really? Because she was like, oh, Dave, you could have had so much potential. No, I don't think that that was it.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I think she wanted me out of the house. Yeah. I don't think she regretted it. As soon as possible. As all, at all. Yeah. Like it's, so what, you would have been more advanced.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Yeah, I would have been the biggest kid in the... Oh, yeah, you would have been a bully. Yeah. Oh, you missed your bully opportunity. Oh, boy. You could have lived a real bully lifestyle. I did have bully genes. You could have been on Dragon's Den.
Starting point is 01:03:20 You could have been on one of them. Yeah. One of the dragons. One of the people shooting down everyone's idea. Yeah, I'm out. That's good. That could have been you. them. Yeah. One of the dragons. One of the people shooting down everyone's idea. Yeah. I'm out. That's good. That could have been you. Let me see your business plan.
Starting point is 01:03:29 This is written on an app, Ken. I'm in. I'm a bully, not a businessman. Yeah. Dave, do you have one? Yeah. Mine's not technically an overheard because it was said to me. Okay. But we do have these house guests. We'll not technically an overheard because it was said to me. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:45 But we do have these house guests. We'll allow it. Abby's Aunt Sheila is staying with us. She's great, by the way. Yeah. As great in person as you could imagine. Yeah. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Listeners, you're missing out. Yeah, absolutely. And her family's here, including two kids. And they're Swedish, these kids. And so they're english it's a little funky right but she speaks english to them every day so they speak english but there's some stuff they know in swedish that i guess makes sense um and this isn't really my overhead i have another one uh but just as an example yesterday yesterday, Albert, the seven-year-old, he said, hey, Dave, when you tell a joke, after you're done telling a joke, you should say, dig-a-dung-dung-dung-dung-dung.
Starting point is 01:04:37 He's not wrong. Yeah, I guess, which I assume is like a Swedish rim shot. Dig-a-dung-dung-dung-dung-dung. I assume it's like a Swedish rim shot. Ding-a-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong. Anyway, so he told me a joke, and it was, does anyone know why fish don't have libraries? And then Sheila was like, Albert, that's a Swedish joke.
Starting point is 01:05:00 It's not going to work in English. And he was struggling to come up with the English for this joke joke and he's like uh because there's too much smoke ding-a-dong-dong-dong-dong um that's not bad but that's uh that's just an example of the adorable swedishness that's happening here um but uh okay so albert got this watch for his birthday and it is a uh a watch with uh the uh guy from the lego movie a lego character i haven't seen the movie ligament uh his name is emmet okay and uh um uh yeah he he's like yeah i just got the regular Emmett on this watch. It's not the special Emmett. And I was like, yeah, when I was in school, I was in special Emmett. And he didn't get it.
Starting point is 01:05:51 It was a special ed joke, but why would he get it? You guys didn't even get it. Well, I was waiting for the thing that you say after a joke. Well, I hadn't learned that yet. Anyway, so he said, yeah, it's not Special Edmonton. I was like, I was in Special Edmonton school. And he just suddenly got really serious and looked at me and said, just pull it together. Like, they've been here three weeks.
Starting point is 01:06:22 Yesterday, I just learned about ding-a-dong-dong. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's exactly. And then you're like, oh, no, there's so here three weeks. Yesterday, I just learned about ding-a-dong-dong. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's exactly. And then you're like, oh, no, there's so much to do. Yeah. We have to go back and see all those things again. Ding-a-dong-dong. Oh, pretty cute.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Do you have a overheard? I do have a overheard. Mine is courtesy of some loudmouths at the diner. Their loudmouths. Soft. Yeah. Soften up that loudmouth. I didn't catch the context of this.
Starting point is 01:06:56 You don't need it. This was a guy saying to his friend, I guess, I don't know what the, I listened to the rest of the conversation but it didn't provide any hints as to where this came from but the guy was saying to the other guys that uh after my last relationship i'm all out of underwear so oh wow yeah what do you think happened there do you think that he was in a relationship with somebody who stole his underwear he brought it over and just left it or someone who's constantly leaving it there
Starting point is 01:07:27 or was it like crazy it was so crazy that his underwear kept getting ripped up oh like yeah all his underwear got ripped off every time
Starting point is 01:07:34 yeah yeah yeah just prepare he was having that sex cereal yeah it's just insatiable she grows teen wolf claws
Starting point is 01:07:43 yeah she rips off the underwear and then she's like, I'm exhausted by ripping that underwear. I'm going to bed. Oh, you joke. You riled me up and ruined my underwear. Strike two, sex serial. Yeah. After my last relationship, I'm all out of underwear right it's a real because then i was
Starting point is 01:08:08 like oh that's when i tuned in to the conversation i was like oh this will he'll explain it he'll explain why maybe he that's where it ended that well yeah then it was just whatever other kind of talk maybe yeah she kicked him out of the house or one of those things where, like in a movie, where she threw all of his belongings in the street. Yeah, except his underwear. Or he only owned one pair of underwear and left it there while she... Maybe it was the thing in that song, Cecilia. He got up to watch his face and when he come back to bed, someone's taking his place. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Yeah, absolutely. And his underwear. He's wearing his underwear. Yeah. Walking around in another man's underwear yeah i don't know anyways i don't know walking around in another man's underwear um how many pairs of underwear should an adult man have at any one time i think this comes down to the question of how often do you want to do laundry? Ah, yeah. I want to do it once a week.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Do you guys all want to write down the number of underwear you have? I don't know. I don't know the number. I don't, I can't, I don't have, but like, should you have just a week's worth or like more than a week's worth? I don't know what the should is. Yeah. I probably have two weeks worth.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Yeah. I definitely made a move about a year and a half ago to getting two weeks worth. The problem is- You inquired. I inquired another six pairs. You were at the buyer's market. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:35 The problem is when you buy a bunch at once, they all wear out at once, and then you have to buy another bunch all at once. But you know, I feel like you guys can relate to this where we obviously have like those really ratty pairs of underwear
Starting point is 01:09:48 that are like at the end of the week that you shouldn't even have anymore. Graham used to have a whole joke about it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah?
Starting point is 01:09:54 Yeah, about having them. They were like, they're not like underwear anymore. They're like an ass cape. You see? That joke still works. It never won't work.
Starting point is 01:10:04 But, uh... When I say you used to have a joke about that, you might still have it. Yeah, some once in a while. It's solid. Have you ever bought underwear just like one? Just to make it to the end of the week? No, no, no. Like you've just gone and bought a pair of underwear. Do you always just hit your tooth with a beer?
Starting point is 01:10:23 You all right? I don't know. I'll be fine. Yeah. No. See, I've only ever bought underwear in a group. Yeah, three pack. It's always a three pack. But they sell underwear by the one. Who's buying one
Starting point is 01:10:35 pair of underwear? That's what I'm asking. If you've ever done that. I've bought individual. You've bought an individual pair? Yeah, like three individual pairs. I mean, where they sell like just one like at a you know like a boutique you would buy one pair of underwear i will buy one pair of underwear a box with one pair of underwear in it but three boxes oh okay you're buying your underwear three at a time whether it be singles or as a yeah what i'll do is i'll throw away one pair of underwear, like one or two pairs of underwear,
Starting point is 01:11:08 then I'll buy like four and I'll be like, whoa, I'm in Fat City. Now I'm flush with new underwear. Have you ever deviated from a type? No. Or were you one type all the way down the line? like from a type? No. Or were you one type all the way down the line?
Starting point is 01:11:25 I was a tighty whitey man up until about grade seven. Oh yeah. Grade six, grade seven. Then everyone got into boxer shorts.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We started snapping girls' bras. And they started pulling up our boxer shorts. It was a big field day. There were literally there was literally
Starting point is 01:11:44 like lunch hours Where boys just Stopped playing football And girls stopped Doing whatever girls did And we'd chase each other Around the field Snapping bras
Starting point is 01:11:53 And wedging the boys What if that became A pro sport? Would you I would Watching 11 year olds? No I mean you know
Starting point is 01:12:04 The 11 year olds They would aspire I mean, you know, the 11 year olds, they would aspire one day to be in the Olympics. Uh, and then, round about, um, uh,

I wore boxers, but then somebody was like, why not combine the two? I don't remember when boxer briefs came out, but it was a revolution. It was Marky Mark right after the Funky Bunch.

Starting point is 01:30:50 Whoops, sorry. I'm calling in with an overseen from Albany International Airport. I was on my way to work today, and at the intersection, I was on my way to work today, and at the intersection, there was a guy pulling from the airport. And he had one of those children's Halloween costumes with the black robe with a cream mask on it. And he had it pulled over his passenger side seat, so the mask was right at the headboard. And I'm just wondering what that guy's story is.
Starting point is 01:31:30 I thought at the very least it was entertaining. Thanks. I have no idea what the other one is. Yeah, I'm not sure it was entertaining. Your phone call absolutely was entertaining. Yeah, it was great. All I could gather
Starting point is 01:31:41 that there was a scream mask. That's all I got. On the headboard of a passenger's side of a car. That it was looking at the bus? Is that what you said? It was a bus? I didn't even catch that it was in a car. I thought it was in a headboard of a bed.
Starting point is 01:31:54 I couldn't tell if she said he was a guy or he was a goth. That would make more sense. Driving around with a scream mask on. That was a great phone call. So good.
