Charlie Rose.
These are Charlie Rose kind of questions.
No.
James Lipton, more likely.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Is Abby Shumacher here?
Can I retalk to her?
Abby, I've prepared the usual seven questions.
A pile of blue cards.
Yeah, that we ask Benoit Prévost from the Proust questionnaire,
made famous by Benoit Prévost.
The Proust questionnaire made famous by Benoit Pruvo.
Which of the seven deadly sins defines your life?
Who do you hope to see in hell?
If you built a robot, what is the penis for?
So how long has it been since you were last on the show?
When we hosted One Bad Mother, you were our guest.
Yes, that was what?
Like September, October?
Yeah, September, October.
And then maybe a year ago.
I don't remember.
I did Christmas last year, maybe?
No, that was Charlie.
No, that was Alicia.
I've done a Christmas.
Yeah, you've done a Christmas. I thought I was here.
I thought I was here the year where Graham gave us the three months worth of goodie baskets.
Maybe.
Yeah.
And the Dick Tracy book.
Sure.
Oh, yeah.
I thought that was last year.
That was Charlie.
Was it?
Yeah.
Oh.
What did I give Charlie?
Anything?
No, you and I just exchanged.
Oh, Charlie just sat there?
And then the guest just stood there like a chump.
Yeah.
Well, I brought stuff for both of you. It's true. I just exchanged. Oh, and Charlie just sat there? And then the guests just stood there like a chump. Yeah. Well, I brought stuff for both of you.
It's true.
I got some.
Oh, really?
Did you bring anything?
No, but I got the gifts.
Oh, okay.
I enjoyed the candy and the cheese.
All right, whatever.
What are we doing?
Yeah.
Have we started the show?
Yeah, absolutely.
Abby, let's get to know you.
What's new?
What's going on?
Well, not much.
Oh, no, wait.
That's Dave's line.
Baby's still fucking awesome.
Uh-huh.
What's new in babydom?
She takes up a lot of my time.
That's what babies do, right?
Yeah, they'll do that.
Where is the baby today?
She is with the nanny.
Okay.
So she's out on the town.
She's out hanging.
There's two.
Flushing queens.
There's nanny and a little girl, and another little girl who's like the same age and her
nanny and they hang out together.
Okay.
And they're little buds.
Couple days a week.
Couple days a week.
And is, because at first she was not into this idea.
No.
She did not care for it.
Yeah, yeah.
For like the first month, she just cried all day, every day apparently.
But is now, is she into it?
Yeah.
She still cries when I leave.
Sure.
Or like I put my hand on the gate.
You got a foot on the show.
Yeah.
I put my hand on the, like I even tell her beforehand.
Like, I don't tell her the night before, but I tell her the morning of.
I'm like, it's over.
I tell her two nights before.
Yeah.
Reminder.
You're going to go and see your friend and the nanny and you're going to play and it's
going to be great.
And then we get all packed up and we walk all this very close.
It's just a couple blocks away and she's totally fine.
And she's happy the whole time.
Yeah.
And then as soon as I put my hand on the gate and she realizes where we are, she starts to like quiver a little bit.
And then I walk in and she's barely like out of the carrier.
Like I just carry her in a little like ergo carrier thingy.
And she's barely out of it and she's already wigging out.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I just,
I like chuck her lunch
in the fridge and bye.
Do you think partially
she's doing it
for your benefit?
Like,
mom's going to be upset
if I don't throw a paint.
Oh, yeah.
Like,
if I look like
I'm totally cool with this.
Mom will feel bad.
Yeah, yeah.
Like,
you know,
it's the real
cats in the cradle moment.
Right?
Geez,
a lot like you.
Arr.
Arr.
Well, I do cry when I get left places.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
It's scary.
But only as I'm leaving.
Yes.
But afterwards, you're fine.
Yeah.
Do you remember when you were a kid?
Because I went to a daycare thing when I was a kid.
I don't remember loving it, but I don't remember freaking out about it.
No, I don't remember freaking out either.
Just going there and just being like, you know, trying to see as much television as I could while I was there.
Get in as many minutes as you could.
If I pretend to nap, I can see it through that mirror.
Yeah, I can watch
Days of Our Lives
or whatever.
Santa Barbara.
I feel like that was the
soap opera that
Of choice.
Yeah.
Was that a day timer?
Santa Barbara?
Yeah.
I think it was.
Maybe not.
I don't know.
But I just remember
Santa Barbara being like
the daycare ladies.
Her story?
Yeah, that was her story.
Yeah.
I saw, it's because I, this is a weird association, but I associate soap operas and like daytime TV stuff also with tabloids.
Oh, yeah.
Like this thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, because they have like soap opera magazines and stuff. Yeah, but like. Or it yeah. Like this thing. Yeah, yeah. Oh, because they have soap opera magazines
and stuff.
Yeah, but like
in the grocery stores.
And the stuff,
the kind of people
who would watch,
you know,
Days of Our Lives
might pick up
a National Enquirer.
Yeah.
And I saw on the cover
of National Enquirer
when I was at the store today,
the James Garner
who's been dead
for a few years.
Is he even still alive?
No. It was some James Garner Who's been dead For a few years Is he even still alive? No
It was some
James Garner
Retrospective
James Garner shocker
Great
Like who's
Who's
That's time well spent
Who's buying this?
I guess it's people
Who don't have the internet
Who remember James Garner
Yeah
And it was
Pictures of young
James Garner too
Really?
Yeah
He was real handsome
Wow Yeah Yeah Yeah And it was pictures of young James Garner, too. Really? Yeah. He was real handsome.
Wow. Hoo-ha-hee-ha-hoo.
Dave just creamed his jeans.
Hoo-ha-hee-ha-hoo.
James Garner and Jennifer Garner, no relation.
They're brother and sister.
Oh, brother and sister.
Okay, that's what it was.
She looks good.
He looks dead.
That would be a good.
Who's got the, you know what they do?
Who's got the worst beach bodies?
Yeah.
Who's got the worst corpse bodies?
You'll never guess who this corpse is.
No, seriously, you'll never guess.
Oh, but the hands and feet and teeth have been removed.
You'll never guess.
Why have the hands and feet been removed?
Because you can't test for fingerprints and stuff.
Oh, yes, absolutely.
This was a Russian, some sort of Russian.
Yeah.
Wait, so it's like an actual forensic you can't test?
I thought it was just for a magazine.
No, no, no shortcuts.
People are resourceful.
Yeah, people are resourceful.
And watch a lot of CSI.
Still to this day,
I don't understand it,
but it happens.
But why would the magazine
have a bunch of handlers
and people?
Well, that was the shocker
about James Garner.
Killed by a Russian mob.
Because it would have like...
Dave keeps gesturing with his hands.
Little twinkle stars. What do you want me to gesture with his hands. Like little twinkle stars.
What do you want me to gesture with?
Like you're singing twinkle, twinkle little star.
Anyway, this is dumb.
Yeah.
Now, so back in the day, daytime television, that's all there was.
There was just soap operas.
Game shows, yeah.
Now it's a whole...
Talk shows. Oh, sometimes there would Now it's a whole... Talk shows.
Oh, sometimes there would be
like a money movie.
What is that?
Where they're showing a movie
and then as they go to commercial
there's a guy standing in a studio
with a telephone.
He dials numbers
that people have sent in.
I don't know what this is.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, and you can win like $100.
What?
What?
And the guy is in like a crew neck Cosby sweater.
This I do have.
I am unfamiliar with this.
And he calls and he's.
Virginia, isn't it you?
Yeah.
But sometimes the person's not home and that's what usually happens.
So what this person.
Wait, they're showing a movie like Grease.
No, you wish.
They're showing some, it's just the first.
Like what kind of movie?
It's the most like Technicolor Western or something.
Okay.
And then it breaks for commercial and then there's a guy calling people's houses, offering them money.
No.
Have they pre-registered for the, okay.
They've entered in there.
We'll pull another number. Oh, no in there. We'll pull another number.
Oh, no answer.
So we'll pull another number.
Do they have to answer, like, is it like Michael and Kelly where they have to, like, answer
a question to win the money?
No, they just have, oh, I don't, yeah, maybe.
But they have to be home, mostly.
There's only landlines, so you have to be home.
Oh, man.
But that's not, that's not anymore.
Now you've got any possible show you could dream of during the day.
Yeah.
Do you watch a lot of TV during the day when you're here with the kid?
What do you and the kid do during the day?
I have no idea.
Well, we usually have a slow start.
Okay.
Dave takes care of the morning routine because he's way more of a morning person than I am
And then
Cheers
Yeah
And then
We take the dog for a walk
Yeah
That's the first thing we do
Okay
And that usually eats up about an hour
Wow
And we usually like
We'll drive to like
The dog park
Or we'll just loop around the neighborhood
All right
Stop and get a coffee
This all sounds very
Pasty or something
Puts a little coffee dish out for the dog to drink.
Oh, yeah.
He likes a mocha, probably.
He's not supposed to have the chocolate, but we love it.
It's only a little bit.
And tis the season for peppermint mocha.
He's really upset about these Starbucks cups.
He won't shut up.
Don't say Jesus rules.
Yeah, and he's like, why is it gray?
Last year it was gray.
Yeah.
And then we'll come home and she'll have a nap because she's still got two naps a day.
Two naps a day.
That's out of sight.
Yeah.
That's pretty great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's the first nap of the day?
Yeah.
Usually around 11.
All right.
10.
I'm trying to figure out how to pattern my life more after Margo.
After a 15-month-old, she's got it on lock.
And then after that, we'll have lunch.
Either here or we'll go out and get something.
And then we'll go to the community center or we'll go to the library or we'll...
Just like some...
I try to get her out somewhere where she can just burn off a bunch of energy.
Like somewhere where she can just...
Yeah, where I can just let her loose and she can climb around burn off a bunch of energy. Like somewhere where she can just Yeah, where I can just
let her loose
and she can climb around
and play with stuff.
You want to wear her out.
Yep.
Does she have a lot of energy?
Yep.
Okay.
All right.
She's a kid that you're
going to have to get into
like gymnastics.
Gymnastics or something.
Gymnastics.
I'm trying to figure out
a schedule for gymnastics
for her because she's
old enough now to like
What do they call it?
Tumbling?
Well, Dave was talking
about Crazy Baby Time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's loving because she's old enough now to like what do they call it tumbling well Dave was talking about crazy baby time
yeah yeah yeah
she's loving
just she's learning
but I'm not sure
she's more energetic
than other babies
no but
she's more energetic
than me
yeah but like
going back to which
which uh
whatever
the sin
would be my life
you'd ask
yeah
sloth
sloth
oh yeah sloths
for sure
no question mine is uh murder no way would be my life, you'd ask? Yeah. Sloth. Sloth. Sloth. Oh, yeah, sloths. For sure. No question.
Mine is murder.
No way.
Do we think we can name them all?
Yeah.
Avarice.
Which one's that?
Wrath.
Ambergris.
No, they make perfume out of that.
Is that whale blood?
Yeah.
Why did you start with avarice, the one that no one can define?
Isn't that like jealousy?
That's envy.
Envy.
Envy.
Wrath.
Sloth.
Sloth.
Gluttony.
Yeah, gluttony.
Lust.
Pride or whatever?
Yeah.
In the name of love.
That's all of them, isn't it?
Well, it depends.
Is avarice, does it overlap with one of these?
It's hard to say.
Avarice is the sin of questioning whether or not avarice is one of them.
You have seven sins.
Yeah, exactly.
That's it.
It's a loophole.
Can I ask Siri?
Sure.
Hi, Siri.
What are the seven sins?
Do you know that you can make your Siri Australian?
Did you?
Yep.
Mine is.
Siri, what are the seven deadly sins?
All right, here's what I got.
Thanks, fella.
Seven deadly sins of the ballet shanty.
Yep.
Seven deadly sins manga.
But the harder one to do is the virtues.
Are there seven virtues?
I don't know.
I couldn't name one.
I think there's seven virtues.
Okay.
Patience.
Promptness.
Well, one of them is piety.
Yeah.
That's the only one I know for sure.
Compassion, maybe.
No, none of them are like things that
they're all weirder ones yeah like being pious we didn't have greed we didn't have
see we're all too humble we're so humble we didn't even think we're humbler than what are the
we'll murder you but we won't steal your oh. Oh, we'll sex eat you. And pridefully so.
See if Crocodile Siri...
Pretty good.
If it knows the virtues.
It just Googled it.
Yeah, yeah.
But I want him to do it.
What are the virtues?
Here is what I found.
Thanks.
Thanks, Crocodile.
Call that a Google. I think it's's maybe there's five of them i don't
know i don't know if there's seven of them but yeah there's a lot this isn't a strange thing
to google yeah it's it's not giving me what you want but they're the companion piece sure
although according to wikipedia the opposite of a virtue is a vice, not a sin. Oh, I know what the vices are.
Oh, yeah.
Vice magazine.
Vice magazine.
That's it.
Those are the two.
Miami vice.
Oh, yeah.
That's the third one.
Those are the three.
You count Vice News as a totally separate entity.
Oh, sure.
Vice magazine and vice news does
vice news do do's and don'ts yeah they do they do like look at the look at what angle of merkle
look at the cloak on this muja hadin when did they hire dennis miller
he does have a pretty good bitchy tone. He's snark.
Abby watches that Vice TV show, and I want to make a super cut of the host of it because he always does the same.
He has the same delivery, like verbal cadence.
Yeah, it's just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Exactly the same every time.
Yeah, but I feel like if you're an announcer guy, you pick a cadence and then that's...
But this guy's like literally every sentence.
Like you can have some sort of flow, but this is ridiculous.
I'm happy he only does the in-between bits because if...
No, he does.
Well, he doesn't do the story.
He's got like a sleeve tattoo.
He's the guy who works at Vice who has the tattoos.
But does he have a beard? Does he have that guy?
Yeah.
Okay.
Shane something.
Shane.
Shane West?
No, that's the other guy.
There's not a lot of Shanes in traditional movies.
Is he in like Get Over It or something?
What is Get Over It?
It's the movie.
With Sisko?
With Sisko.
He's a high schooler?
Choreographs the prom.
With Ben Foster and Kiki Dee.
Wow, that's quite a cast.
Damn it, I saw that in the theater.
Really?
Yep.
Remember when you would see movies in the theater just cause?
They didn't even have to be good or interesting or big screen stuff?
Yeah, or three-dimensional.
The last movie I saw in the theater was...
You'd see a teen comedy in the theater?
Yeah, or a romantic comedy.
Sure, like a drama or something even?
Yeah, yeah, and you're just like, ooh.
I think the last one I saw was Mad Max Fury Road.
Yeah, that's the last one I saw.
I want to see Creed, but I just haven't made the time.
I'm hearing good things.
I'm hearing really good things.
Everything I've heard from Creed has been great, with arms wide open.
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Scott, what's his name?
Stapp.
Stapp.
I wasn't sure if it's Scott Stapp or Scott Sapp.
I really wasn't sure.
Neither.
Yeah.
So, when you were a kid, were you a rambunctious kid?
Were you running around and like, did you have to be in activities? what activities were you yeah well when did you what did a young abby music
classes they're like movement where you like get like a silky scarf and you're like did you really
wave it around and i did ballet oh and i think did you ever use a ball in those movement things
because i don't know that's like a big thing there's the silky scarf and you ever use a ball in those movement things? Because I know that's like a big thing.
There's the silky scarf.
Oh, she didn't do rhythmic gymnastics.
That's what sounded like she was doing.
My physical activities ended pretty quickly.
Between the ages of like two and seven, I was super into it.
You were paralyzed.
And then a miracle happened um and i just prayed real
hard real hard um no but like between the ages of like i don't know two and seven or something i was
active and loved it and then i loves you what are you talking about that was a calgary television
station um but then i very quickly realized that it was not my thing.
Yeah.
I mean,
it's the same.
Maybe,
maybe around puberty,
like middle school ish.
I realized I'm like,
I don't give a fuck.
I don't care.
I think I gave up much earlier than that,
where I was like,
I remember being in elementary school gym class and it partly had to do with,
I had a super shitty gym teacher in elementary school.
Didn't we all?
Exactly.
But this guy was just awful.
And he literally turned me off of all of physical activity.
Why?
How?
I swear to God, for like 20 years.
Was he calling you out?
Because I used to have-
You're dragging ass, Campbell.
Yeah.
Who was it?
Was it Ryan Beal that was talking about it?
Someone getting yelled at by a gym teacher?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. And he'd call him like fancy boy or something like that. Yeah. Tart or something. Who was it? Was it Ryan Beal that was talking about it? Someone getting yelled at by a gym teacher? Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And he'd call him like Fancy Boy or something like that.
Yeah.
Tart or something.
I don't know.
Anyway, yeah. He essentially ruined, to this day, I fucking hate team sports.
Hate them with a passion.
And then just, which just kind of just bled into any sort of physical activity.
And I'm only just starting.
Which just kind of just bled into any sort of physical activity. And I'm only just starting.
I'm 35 and I'm only just starting now to kind of try to find some sort of exercise or physical activity that I can tolerate.
Yeah.
See, that's the problem.
He burned me for so long.
Like that, not only that you can tolerate, but that you're going to like do.
Yeah.
You are motivated to do.
Yeah.
Because, oh man, like if it's a thing where you're like, where if it's already not fun just even to think about it.
Yeah, you just know you're going to do it.
Oh, man.
I don't know.
I don't know.
My dad and I, as I mentioned a few weeks ago,
have started playing tennis.
Yeah.
Fancy gentlemen.
We play gentleman's sport with the sweater vest.
Silver tea set.
Silk scarves.
We do a little bit of movement class before.
Loosen up.
And we started just...
Just picturing Dave's dad twirling around his little scarf.
I love it.
I mean, I owe these dancers legs to him.
I don't believe it.
But we only recently, like we used to just rally And recently we started keeping score
And when you win a game
It's one love
And every time it's one love
I say to myself
One love, one love, Bob Marley on the court
I would say it like louder
But no one would know what I mean
No, but you somehow made tennis a little bit whiter there.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Just when you thought it was impossible.
Oh.
One love, one love, Bob Marley on the court.
I do it a little funkier than that.
Sorry.
Sorry.
One love, one love, Bob Marley on the court.
More like that.
But like, you played team sports, right?
And you were fine with the...
You didn't love it, but...
I loved playing hockey.
It's weird.
My parents signed me up when I was like six for soccer and t-ball.
And then I never did baseball ever again.
I just did that one year.
Yeah.
And I asked my parents later, like, why did you take me out of that?
And they said, oh, you didn't like it.
I never liked soccer.
You made it do it for 10 years.
I complained about that for the next 12 years.
Maybe you complained a little louder about the other
thing yeah like by comparison and they complained about swimming and they still made you swim oh man
i complained about everything like it was just basically my parents nothing beat swimming for
knocking a kid out though oh man that was the one thing that i actually i've always really enjoyed
swimming yeah because you don't sweat you do by yourself. There's nobody fucking yelling at you.
Yeah, that's true.
There's nobody in your face.
Yeah.
Yeah, and it's got kind of like a...
You can set your own pace.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Swimming was the one.
But it's such a pain in the ass to, like, go to the pool and get dressed and get in the pool and get out and show.
Show someone your genitals.
You have to.
Yeah.
Yeah, that is true.
Like swimming is a bit of a, but when Margo gets a little older, that's going to be like key to like if she's.
Oh, yeah.
If she can't settle down, you take her swimming, knock her out.
I take her once a week swimming.
Nice.
Good start.
Good start.
Doesn't love it, but.
No, but I don't.
I think it's any baby that loves it, you're like, weird.
Like, why do you like water so much?
She's done like three sets of swimming lessons, and we signed up for this set, and it just happens to be, we didn't think it through, these classes are right when her naps are.
And so we have to like wake her up.
Either push it or interrupt it.
I would be grumpy
if somebody woke me up
and threw me a ball.
Get you undressed
in some weird change room
and then chuck you in a...
Because we chuck her in the pool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got to.
And then we come back
half an hour later.
So we just...
You guys go have fries
at the commissary.
We do just go have fries
and then we go swimming.
Like,
wake her up, make sure she's not hungry
And then she's okay
But we've missed every class
I had a friend
When I was in elementary school
That was a diver
And I don't know how you find out as a kid
That you're into diving
I loved diving
Oh man I loved it
I still to this day don't know Oh man, I loved it. I couldn't,
I still to this day,
I don't know how to dive.
I loved it.
Really?
I only liked the short,
like I didn't like the tall boards.
Right.
But how did you,
like how old were you when you learned how to dive?
How tall was the?
Like I don't know,
six,
seven?
How short is the short board?
One meter.
One meter,
like right above the water.
Yeah.
Okay.
There's one meter,
three meter,
five and seven and 10 maybe. I forget. Yeah. There's every meter. One meter, like right above the water. Yeah. Okay. There's one meter, three meter, five and seven and ten maybe?
I forget.
Yeah.
There's every meter.
But then there's one and three are the springboards and then the other ones are just the platforms, I think.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, I think that in the Olympics, there's like a 10 meter.
Springboard maybe.
Springboard.
Yeah.
I like the springy ones.
I definitely have jumped off of those, but never dived off.
The three meter was the tall, and that's like 10 feet.
Yeah.
And I remember
jumping off them
and like having
butterflies in my stomach
the whole way down
like it's so high up.
Yeah, and then getting
like super wedged.
No, I've seen them
at like the university pool.
I've done the 10 meter.
I've done it a few times
and I've just like
I forced myself to do it
and I was like,
yep, done it.
Never got to do it again.
Did you do it as a dive?
No.
No, I did it as a feet first.
Only ever feet first.
Yeah.
But like if you do your feet wrong and the water can go anywhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it does.
Oh boy, does it ever.
That water is not timid.
It's very.
It's very forward.
Yeah.
Very aggressive.
European.
Yeah. Penthouse.
I never thought it would happen to me.
I had my eye on this pool.
But yeah, I still to this day don't know how to dive.
Like I can get halfway and then I spaz out.
And then your body just goes.
Yeah.
But like you can lean forward and put your hands out, right?
Yeah, I can do that.
But that's not like I can't do like a, you know.
Sure.
An up and over.
An up and over.
Oh, I don't know.
As opposed to just a fallen head first.
Yeah, I can do.
Yeah.
Fallen head first.
Or like if you were competitive swimming, you would dive in.
At the beginning off the blocks, off the starter blocks.
In theory.
In theory.
You could do that.
No, but I don't know that I.
Yeah, I guess I could do that.
That's a different dive though because you're not going deep.
You want to stay as close to the surface as you can.
Yeah.
And I think I would probably just belly flop if I did that, to be honest.
I don't think that I would.
You got to add more weight to your head.
What, this beard isn't going to weigh him down enough in the pool?
Just strap hand weights to my head.
Yeah, or like rolls of pennies.
All right Alright guys.
Ready.
That's how Michael Phelps learned.
That's true.
Look at him.
That's true.
That's true.
It's always these parents push the kids
the right way.
Beyonce's dad
used to make her run laps while singing.
Is that true?
Yeah, I think I heard that.
I know that Lady Gaga, well, she'll go on the treadmill and sing.
That makes a lot of sense.
And Jim Carrey used to do the same thing.
He used to, like, do his jokes while he was running because he was so, like, dumb.
Because he thought that made sense.
I don't know.
If you add running to anything,
it kind of makes it seem more like you're doing something.
It ups the difficulty level.
Absolutely, it does.
What about swimming?
Who can sing and swim?
That's what Nelly Furtado did.
Yeah, that's true.
I don't know.
That's how Michael Felsman became such a good singer.
Papa, Papa,
Ronsi.
Michael Powell sings the best
of Lady Gaga
with Tony Bennett.
Just in the side
of the pool
snapping his fingers.
In a suit.
Yeah.
Hey,
cool cat.
Now,
Abby,
David,
what else
is going on
with you?
I started a podcast
That's right
What microphone do you use?
I use the one you're using
Yeah
I bet you do
Yeah
Because when it comes to me
And the other two
It's my house
I call it the good chair
Yeah
It's mostly the chair
Well and it's also
Our mouths
It's like we're kissing
If we use the same microphone
Oh that's nice
Who am I kissing now?
You're kissing Evan Ah yeah And Iie um and tell me about this podcast well it's don't
tell me about it yeah graham will be in a soundproof booth and then we're gonna ask him to
write down your answers about the last time you did podcast in the butt
isn't that how the newlywed game works? Yeah, the...
When was the last time you did it in the butt?
Backstage.
Isn't that what it is?
Where's the...
No, the question was like,
where's the strangest place you've ever had sex?
Backstage?
No, in the butt.
Like in the car,
but then the guy says in the butt.
Right.
And the wife's aghast.
Now it's time for everybody's favorite question.
When was the last time you did it in the butt?
That's the whole show.
The newly butt game.
Well, once the swimming pool got wet.
Yeah, we were diving On a 10 meter board
Oh lordy
So the podcast
Is called
The Fashion Hags Podcast
Yes we are
The Fashion Hags
A play on fag hags
And you guys
You talk about
Like
We are fun
Fun play
And sassy
You guys talk about
What's going on In the fashion world at large?
Yeah, clothing and fashion and a little bit of sewing and that sort of thing.
So anything clothing related.
Yeah, the industry.
They do their research, unlike us.
No, we have to prepare stuff.
I did research on Michael Phelps and how he became such a good singer.
That's true.
B-b-b-b-boker face. good singer it's true um all right so it's me and two of my friends from fashion school
how many episodes in are you we have four no three out now okay episode four comes out this
wednesday yes exciting times this wednesday no we're doing every two weeks wait yeah episode Episode four comes out this Wednesday. Yes. Exciting times. This Wednesday? No, I'm just...
So we're doing every two weeks.
Wait.
Yeah.
I guess episode four is out by the time this is out.
There we go.
No, maybe not.
Who knows?
Anyway.
Anyway.
Last one came out on the second.
Anyway.
Every second Wednesday.
All right.
The fourth will be out.
If you're somebody who doesn't know a lot about fashion is this a good intro yes podcast
yeah we're trying we're very heavy on the comedy good because we're trying to keep it very
interesting because it can be kind of boring and very esoteric and niche right we're very full of
ourselves it's very ego-filled industry so it's very seems like it is yeah so we try to cut that
with a good i'm trying to make each other laugh By trying to make each other laugh
Lots of dick jokes and stuff
Yeah, there we go
Now we're in the pocket
Yeah
Oh, is that a fashion?
Dicks in the pocket?
Oh, yeah
Well, there was that weird like mono speedo
Sure
Rick Owens did a show recently
Where he, all of his models had dicks showing
Like they just had like their shirt cocking
The whole time
Oh, okay
There was a whole bunch of them.
Oh, yeah.
Porky pigging.
Yeah.
Donald ducking.
Donald ducking, yeah.
Yeah.
So we try to find relevant information about things, but also showcase just insanely ridiculous.
Oh, yeah.
It is a lot of the time.
Because it is like.
Because a lot of times you'll see something fucked up.
of the time because it is like because a lot of times you'll see something fucked up like this past episode we talked about this new mac cosmetics campaign where they based all of their
new colors on dogs but that makes sense if people love dogs but not for me like no yeah graham and
i agree on this one yeah we both think this is a great idea so many people in the in the fashion
industry be like oh yes it's beautiful and. And you call a super fancy photographer.
And it's a very legitimate company.
It's a big corporation.
It's very, very respected.
And people are going like, yeah, sure.
Of course you would base makeup off of dogs and call it oat dogs and put dogs in the ad.
Is it really oat dogs?
Yeah.
Like hot dogs?
That's pretty good.
Yeah, pretty good.
But then somebody else would be like, what the fuck?
Like my mother. She's like, what the fuck? Like my mother's like,
what the fuck is this?
What about,
now just hear me out.
What about a line of cosmetics
based on all the colors
of hot dogs?
Not just the hot dogs themselves.
I'm talking ketchup,
mustard,
sauerkraut,
sauerkraut,
corn dogs,
jalapeno green.
Yeah, yeah.
That's yours if a bunch of browns
thanks
what about
there's in there
a line that came out
that's based on
Star Wars
yeah
my mom emailed me
about that
thanks mom
is that
good
is that a step forward
I would say no
what if it was
the first
and also as a woman
I'm kind of
mildly offended as well.
It's like, well, girls like Star Wars and girls like makeup.
So Star Wars, makeup.
Wow.
Both of those statements are true.
But what if that was the first...
If Star Wars had never merchandised anything before and that was their first thing, that would be incredible.
If they were like...
What about action figures?
No.
Makeup.
Or if they got part of their financing from a makeup company.
And they're like, if you guys ever do any merchandising, we get right of first refusal.
And they have to work out so many product shots in.
And like Darth Maul's putting on the red and black.
That's the way to do the campaign.
Chewie's putting on lipstick.
Yeah, well, Chewie would have. He has great eyelashes. He's got mascara and eyeliner.
Yeah.
Oh, he's got great eyes.
Yeah.
He's got a head.
Does he have human eyes?
It was Betty Davis' eyes.
Not a lot of people know that it's Betty Davis in the Chewbacca.
She's so tall.
Yeah.
But like.
Yeah, he has human eyes.
But like the costumes aren't the actor's eyes. Yes. Yeah, they are. tall. Yeah. But like. Yeah, he is humanized. But like the costumes are in the actor's eyes.
Yes.
Yeah, they are.
Through?
Yeah.
And.
It's not his mouth, but it's his eyes.
It's not his mouth?
Well, he's got fake lips and fake teeth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not his.
I'm sure that maybe the tongue.
Is it his voice?
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know.
I think he had it later.
I don't know.
I don't know if it's the same actor.
Rub a stool on the ground and that's chewy.
Yeah, get somebody at a bar to start a fight.
Real creaky toilet seat.
There's a meme going around to that.
Dave, what's going on with you, man?
Oh, well.
I just want to wish everyone a happy holidays.
Yeah.
In this snow twinkling time.
Yeah, absolutely.
The snow is twinkling.
Jack Fry's biting you on the ass.
Jack Fry's.
Jack Fry's my lawyer.
Yeah.
The lawyers are nice.
They named him Fry's.
Let's see. What's going on with me well i already said one love one love bob marley on the court um couple of things well let's talk about one um i uh
um i've like i guess i've never been great with names,
but now that I'm,
now that I'm a father,
there's a lot,
I have to meet a lot of people like in clumps.
Like you're meeting like three people at a time.
Yeah.
I'm meeting a mother,
a father or two fathers or two mothers.
Absolutely.
Or,
or a mother and an octopus.
Yep.
And a child.
And I got to know all their names all at once.
And I'm not great at it.
And sometimes it's six at a time.
Sometimes it's nine at a time.
Oh, brother.
This is too much.
You know what everybody should do?
Name tags.
Yes.
Just tattooed on, though.
Oh, yeah.
And then, so sometimes Abby will tell me, oh, we're going to this party.
And I talk about these names, but they're all abstract.
Yeah, some of the people I've met, sometimes I've met them.
So I just say these names, and Dave has no association with who's the kid, what do they look like.
Yeah.
And then she'll say, oh, so-and-so will be there.
And then later I will bring up.
So you said Crefton will be?
Yeah.
Young Crefton.
Rumston?
Clarkston?
It's always somethingston.
Gromston.
Gromston.
Ashton.
Yep.
We'll be there.
And she's always like, Kyle?
You mean Kyle?
You mean Sophie. Yeah. And she's always like, Kyle? You mean Kyle? You mean Sophie.
Yeah.
And Alex.
And then a few weeks ago, we went to that wedding.
Yeah.
On the island.
It was super awesome.
And Abby went.
We couldn't all go to the pre-party the night before.
So I stayed at the hotel with the baby and Abby went to the party.
And then she got back from the party
and she was like,
Dave, there was a guy there named Karsten.
Oh, yeah.
I think you told me this about Karsten.
That fake name you've been torturing me with for months.
Yeah, it's a real person's name.
Now, are people naming their babies weirdo names?
Has that been your experience?
There's nobody that we know that has weird shit, I don't think.
Well, something that's either something that you've never met an adult with that name.
Or it's not a name.
Or it's not really a name.
Yeah. that name or you know like it's not a name or it's not really yeah or like because there were
you know there's no katniss or there's got to be a katniss somewhere yeah somewhere but like
not that we've met look but so there's been not no like yeah like weird like this is my child
winter mint yeah named after products this is my daughter Retson Yeah Mostly named after
Mint stuff
Yeah
Tic Tac
Retson
Crest
Get in here
Xylitol
Get over here
Yeah
Enzident
That's our dog toothpaste
Enzident's not a bad name
No I haven't
We haven't stumbled upon
Too many
But the
The night is young
It's funny
Yeah I'm sure once we get
To like school age Once we're like You're gonna run It's funny. Yeah, I'm sure once we get to school age,
once we're like... You're gonna run into some kooky...
Yeah. Well, I remember back in the day,
good old Aunt Sheila
knew a kid named Anakin.
No! Uh-huh. Really?
Yep. So, not...
This was when... When she
had first... When she was a teacher. Okay.
This was, I don't know, maybe 15 years ago, right about when
Anakin came around? Anakin. Mm-hmm. Okay. This was, I don't know, maybe 15 years ago, right? About when Anakin came around?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Mannequin.
Yeah, so that's what's going on with me.
The other thing that's going on with me is a weird thing has been happening where I'll wake up in the morning With my arms crossed
Like you're disapproving of your own dreams
Yeah
Like I've never in my whole life
Been like stern with myself
Waking up
Dave that was a lousy sleep
So I'm just like wake up disgruntled
I don't feel disgruntled
But my body language is challenging
Yeah your muscle memory.
Yeah.
Displeased.
Like, I've definitely gone through phases where I used to wake up with my arm above my head and it would be asleep every morning.
Oh, yeah.
I got you to stop doing that because when you sleep with your arm above your head, you snore.
So I tried to get you to stop doing that.
Oh.
Yeah, you fixed me.
You're welcome.
That was part of your vows, right?
You don't succeed.
Who's got a pretty voice?
Michael Phelps.
Just dance.
You're gonna be okay.
Sometimes when I
will have like an afternoon nap,
I'll wake up with my hands
like in death position.
Yeah.
Like I'll wake up and my hands will be, yeah, very Dracula.
I'm like, how did I, I don't remember falling asleep like this.
Do you ever wake up with like things in your hands?
Like a glue stick?
Or just like crafting stuff?
You just sleep with a remote.
You fall asleep with a remote in your hand
yeah
yeah
for a while
sometimes I fall asleep
with it in my mouth
which is
weird
troubling
I would
for a period of time
I used to have this
like
futon
and it was like
in the
couch
formation
and
I would fall asleep
in just like the jeans I was wearing and all the change
from my pocket would fall out and then it would like get stuck to either my arm or my back
and then i'd just be walking around the apartment and then it would just like
and i'd be like holy shit what was that
those were the days.
I used to like write things on the meaty bit of my hand, like that thumb muscle.
I used to write things there like bus pass, but I already get like whatever to remind myself. You can show that to the bus driver.
Is this anything?
Bus pass.
September.
Right there.
And then I would sleep on my side a lot and then I put my hands between my thighs
and then I would wake up
with like imprints
of the writing
on my thighs
like the backwards printing.
Dave looks very uncomfortable
all of a sudden.
I just folded my leg back
in a way that made him fall asleep.
Dave was having a nap
during that game.
Dave's leg is having a nap.
We're cool. We're cool.
We're cool.
Don't mind me.
Can I be like this the rest of the show?
Yeah, that's fine.
That's good.
What's going on with you, Mon Frere?
Do you want me to move the microphone closer to you?
I'll get it back.
Well, speaking of Bus Pass, this is last, on Friday,
I had my only corporate of the year.
It was taking place out in Langley.
Oh, right.
And so.
One of the burbs.
One of the burbs.
This is for people who don't know what a corporate is.
You do a comedy show for a corporation.
Yeah, and it's very big around. It's like a Christmas party.
Yeah, because I sold out.
Because you're a shill. Yeah, it's always very big around Delos. Because you're a salesman. Because I sold out. Because you're a shill.
Yeah, it's always Christmas parties at this
time of year. It's like some company...
They put on a dinner. Yeah, there's always
kind of some sort of buffet dinner.
Dave's now walking it off.
Maybe I need to eat more potassium or something.
Go have a banana.
Yeah, and Abby's taking a picture.
This is all working out.
So I was, and a lot of them take place out in your Langleys and your Surries and whatnot.
Way out in the suburbs.
And how you doing there, Jamie?
It hurts so much.
I'll get her back. Walk it off, champ. get it back walk it off champ walk it off there you go there you go here it is um this is what i imagine a morning radio show i know this is
i apologize for the listening um so i would, I'd either like rent a car to drive out there.
Get a ride with another comic or something.
Yeah, yeah.
And I just, like I looked at the kind of the bus thing.
I was like, I can do this on transit.
Sure.
So I'm going to do it.
I decide I'm going to go.
It's like a bus, a train, another bus, and then like a short little cab ride.
Fuck.
And I'm there.
So easy.
Yeah.
So I make like a whole night of it.
Okay.
When was this?
This is on Friday.
Okay.
And it's all lining up.
Like they're all perfectly lined up.
You're not standing around for 45 minutes between.
No.
This is like.
Awesome.
It's all working out.
Are there other people
that are like commuting with you?
Yeah, yeah.
You can tell like
they're making the same stops.
Yeah, because they're like
I was getting out
at the major hubs.
Oh, sure.
And like you go out to Surrey.
Surrey's got a bit of a reputation
as being a lot of violence
and stuff out there. And so I was like nervous. I was kind of nervous. I was like of a reputation as being a lot of violence and stuff out there.
And so I was kind of nervous.
I was like, I don't really want to go all the way out there.
But once I got on the bus out in Surrey, and it was like pretty full.
And then this group of dudes that were clearly just off work at the construction site, like still in their construction gear.
Hard hats.
They were all wearing hard lunch pails
uh and they had also been drinking and i was like uh they were talking very loudly i was like oh
this is gonna be a long bus ride and one of the guys is standing and uh like the the hand holding
pole he's got comes loose and all his friends
are like, ah, they're laughing at him. He's like,
I'm going to fix it. I'm going to fix it. I was going to say this construction
guy was about to fix it. So he's got
on his belt, he's got like this loop of
wire and so he pulls out this
wire and he beautifully
fixes this.
Like he does like
an exact professional job.
Wraps it around, around cuts it makes sure that
there's no loose part that anybody could scratch their hands on kind of like folds it back
and i was like but he didn't break it it was broken before he got on bus hero yeah he was a
bus hero and uh and so i was like well that was that was really nice i can do that so you broke
one yeah yeah and then i was like watch me use my shoelace.
Um,
and then when I got out off the bus and I was like going to catch a cab,
I was standing at like the cab stand at this casino.
And,
uh,
this guy next to me was like,
oh man,
it's super hard to get a cab tonight.
Cause it's like Christmas party season and all this.
And a cab comes up.
He's like,
where are you headed to?
And I'm like, I'm going to the Langley Golf Course.
He's like, hop in.
I'll drop you off on the way.
And I was like, is everybody more friendly out here in the suburbs?
So a cab did that?
No, this was a guy.
Another guy.
A guy was waiting at a cab stand.
And then we were talking to cab.
And he's like super friendly guy.
He's like, yeah, I used to live in Vancouver.
And then I was just like
I just wanted to
you know I wanted to
have some space
I wanted a yard
and I was like
yeah
and he's like
yeah and people out here
it's like more laid back
you know
it's not like
you're not all crammed
in together
and I was like
I was like
yeah
this sounds great
does this story end
with you moving to a farm
well it might.
Well, he didn't get murdered, so I know that.
So then they dropped me off at this.
And now I live on a farm.
He's so allergic to everything.
That's true.
I couldn't live on a farm.
But like, so and then I went to the corporate.
I was dreading it because corporates don't, they just don't go well.
You go in and the people are there with their boss and they're there.
It's mandatory.
And then this is their one time to talk and they're not allowed to.
And so I was bracing myself for the worst possible situation and it went great.
Like they were having fun and they were like.
They were into it. They were totally fun. And they were like. They were into it.
They were totally into it.
And they were totally friendly.
And then after the show, I was like, okay, well, I'll just call a cab and start this process over again.
And two of the people from the party were like, oh, we can drop you off at the bus loop.
And I was like, oh, man, like the suburbs, man.
I just got it going on.
This is the suburbs.
Well, that would never happen in Vancouver.
Nobody would ever offer me a ride.
They don't even make an eye contact.
They're not offering you a ride.
And nobody ever offers to split.
I've never been offered to split a cab.
No, people will fight for a cab.
Yeah, yeah.
They will not split with you.
This is crazy.
They'll push you in the dirt.
They will not offer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then we got this ride back. And then let me tell you, I was with this couple and I was getting a vibe They will not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then we got, I got this ride back and then let me tell you,
it was with this couple and I was getting a vibe from this couple.
Oh,
three way.
Hey,
yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Yeah.
You had one.
No,
no,
I didn't have one,
but I was like,
I feel like if I really pursued this,
yeah,
if I pursued it,
I was like,
cause they were talking about,
they would go to strip clubs together.
I was like, well, that's not something you tell. You just talk about.
Right? Nope.
Maybe in the suburbs. I don't know. I'm a city girl.
I don't know, but if that's part of the suburbs deal,
sign me up. Count me in. Oh, of course it is.
There's all sorts of, like, wife swapping
in the suburbs. Swinging and stuff.
Of course. Of course, Graham.
You saw the ice storm.
I did.
So, guys, I'm moving to the suburbs.
All right, cool.
Yeah.
I'm going to start a life out in Langley.
Hang out at taxi stands?
Sure.
What would it be like?
Could you rent a whole house in the suburbs?
Probably.
But for what you're paying in rent now? I could probably live in like a nice, like some nice place in like the good part of the suburbs.
You know, where there's stuff, you know?
That you don't have to drive to?
Exactly.
Because I love how specific you are.
But I don't know, man.
I haven't had that kind of experience with people.
Like a positive interaction with a stranger?
Yeah.
I would say, like, not this whole year.
This was the first time this whole year, and it was all in one night.
And, yeah.
Well, I'm glad you saved it for December.
Oh, yeah.
But it's like that episode of 30 Rock where, like, Liz goes to Cleveland.
Oh, and everyone asking
if she's a model. Yeah, it just felt like
there's something happening out here
in Langley. Sure.
I just never looked at it
that way before. But now, you know.
Well, yeah.
That's all. Yeah. I'm
an elitist.
How so?
Well, I grew up in the city and I never learned to drive on a highway.
So, I don't get how people can just transfer from one highway to another highway.
Oh, it's very easy.
There's all sorts of on and off ramps.
You got to memorize all these numbers.
What if I'm in the wrong lane?
That's it.

It's like the line notes on a favorite
album, but for everything in culture. It makes me happy to hear music I've never heard before,
voices I've never thought to listen to, and culture recommendations that are outside my
comfort zone. That's why I listen to Bullseye. You should too. Bullseye is your guide to what's good

Overheard.
Overheard.
It's a segment in which,
you know,
we hear these things.
They don't have to be
holiday themed,
but sure,
it would be nice
if they were,
but they're not. We always like to start with the guests. So Abby. I got one. I was shopping
at the local superstore, which is like a Walmart, but I'm pretty sure they treat their employees
better. Yeah. I thought it was more of like a more grocery sure they treat their employees better. Yeah.
I thought it was more of like
more grocery-centric
than a Walmart.
It's more, yeah.
Well, it's more,
it's, yeah,
it's more groceries,
but they have food and
This is one of these
clothes and
suburbs and
It's still within city limits.
Growing up,
we didn't have any of these stores.
No.
These were all things
you had to go to.
But anyway,
so it's like a grocery store,
but it has clothing
and tools and toys.
Is this the Joe Fresh place?
Yeah.
And President's Choice.
Yes, and President's Choice.
So I was up there doing some Christmas shopping.
Yeah.
So there you go.
Dave, happy?
Yeah.
Are you happy now?
Happy now?
What did I do?
You asked for the holiday theme.
He did.
Oh, okay.
Oops.
All right.
Well.
Yeah, Dave, are you happy now?
Yeah, it's Dave.
Can you not tell our voices apart?
Like 80% of our listeners?
So I was shopping
and I'm just
I think I was probably looking at Star Wars ornaments
if I'm going to be honest.
Star Wars ornaments.
You're welcome.
Just little like
lipsticks and
mascaras hanging from the tree yeah yeah yeah
um the star wars classic great we got first dibs and the ornaments were kind of over by where all
the magazines and books are they have a pretty decent magazine and book selection and there
was three little boys um i don't know they were like seven, three, and 18 months.
They're three brothers.
So there was one who was just barely walking,
and then a middle one and an older one.
And I'm just looking around,
and the little baby one keeps kind of wandering away,
and the older brother keeps herding him back.
He says, no, we have to stay over here by the books.
You can't walk away.
And the kid does it a few times because he's just a little guy and the brother was so good at making sure
the little brother didn't go away he was so sweet and gentle with him and just kept redirecting him
and then the mom comes around the corner and says oh you guys are still here that's great
and being being one bad mother that i am i turn to the mother and I say, your boys did a great job.
I was watching them be so nice to the little brother and making sure he didn't walk away.
I just want to let you know that they did a really good job.
Yeah.
And you're doing a good job.
And then the mother looks so surprised.
Yeah.
And as I'm walking away, I overhear her say
to her children, oh, wow,
it's so nice to hear you guys aren't little jerks all the
time. Ah, yeah.
Stupid little jerks. Made me smile.
I thought she was going to say, like,
why were you looking at my kids? Fuck you, lady.
Hey, stop looking at my kids, creep.
That's our ornament. Is that
because one time
I was on a flight and there was a little kid, maybe like a year and a half, maybe two years old, and was just so well behaved the whole flight.
But I'm like, I don't know how you pay a compliment to the parents, you know, without sounding.
Did you drug your child?
Well, no, just being like, I've to say, like, your kid was incredible.
Like, it was a four-hour flight.
You can say just that.
And it wasn't that the kid cried but was easily soothed.
Soothed, sure.
Yeah, it wasn't.
And there was no, like, screeching or anything like that.
It was just like, I was like, wow, this kid is all right.
Yeah, he's going to be a real air traveler.
He's going to be a president, and they're going to let him choose all sorts of products.
President's choice.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
I'm trying real hard over here, guys.
And then one day he can say, get off my plane.
Yeah.
Just the guy from President's Choice ride around on Air Force One?
Oh, no, but the president does.
Our president does. It's the same. It's all the around on Air Force One? Oh, no, but the president does. Our president does.
It's all the same president.
If any members of the band Presidents of the United States were on your plane,
its call sign is Air Force One.
I was going to say, do you know one of the members of the band
is actually the president of the United States?
No one knew it back then, but it was Barack Hussein Obama.
Yeah. He just went by the name B.O. back in the day. No one knew it back then Yeah But it was Barack Hussein Obama Yeah
He just went by the name B.O. back in the day
Yeah
He played like the bass guitar

Well, she got to make fun of Dennis.
Overheard this ad on the radio today.
Do you remember dancing the night away to Buddy Holly or Double Features down at the Metropole?
Then you might need to be vaccinated against pneumococcal disease.
That's clever.
need to be vaccinated against pneumococcal disease that's clever yeah like you take you down a real real memory you know down memory lane yeah back when your mustang was cherry oh yeah before i
fucked it before i parked it and fucked i necked with it for a bit you pretend you made sure it
ran out of gas so that the car couldn't get away?
Aww.
What?
Isn't that the old thing?
Yeah.
That you pretended that the car was out of gas?
Yeah.
So that you could make a move?
I guess it does deserve a groan in this day and age, but back then it was fair play.
Yeah.
Guys, I'm just doing history.
Yeah.
It's like, you know, when, I don't know.
I was going to say something awful yeah
there's a lot of awful history yeah exactly uh this last one comes from miguel in fort mcmurray
uh overheard in the emergency room young daughter to mother uh mom how much longer
is your foot going to be broken?
I can't wait until you stop walking like such a jerk.
Oh, such sympathy.
Merry Christmas to all.
I do all stop being a jerk.
Yeah, stop walking like a jerk.
Oh, poor mom.
Yeah.
But for all we know, that mom's a jerk.
It's true.
Yeah.
Did you see her walk?
Yeah, exactly. What if you see her walk? Yeah, exactly.
What if you saw her walk and you were like, knock it off. They have a lot more walking casts these days than when we were young.
I don't think I ever saw a walking cast when I was young.
Do they have any regular casts for feet anymore?
People, like if people have a cast on their foot, it seems like it's always an air cast.
Yeah.
Like the kind you can step on.
Like it's not a cast.
Yeah.
I don't think they do plaster anymore. I remember back in the day they had like plaster cast and you get a weird little rubber foot stuck on the bottom.
You ever see those?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Whereas now they're all just like air casts.
Yeah.
Or those big booties.
Because that is actually pretty crazy that plaster casts lasted.
As long as they did.
Oh, man, that's a good tongue twister.
Plaster cast lasted?
Little old lady got mutilated late last night.
But, like, it seems like a thing, like, you know, in Leonardo da Vinci's time.
This would have been a good one.
But it was in Leonardo DiCaprio's time.
Yeah, exactly.
From Leo to Leo.
That's a good show for the History Channel.
Yeah, from Leo to Leo.
Or a time travel movie.
What? But we're from Leo DiLeo. Or a time travel movie. What?
But we're from Leonardo DiCaprio's time.
But is Leonardo DiCaprio in this movie?
No.
Oh, it's what he gets finally an Oscar for.
Yeah, it's like a Being John Malkovich style thing about him.
Yeah.
And then he does a cameo.
DiCaprio, DiCaprio, DiCaprio.
DiCamio.

Hi, Graham.
Hi, Dave.
And hello, guest.
That's me.
This is Tom in Winnipeg, and I'm calling with an overheard that I heard spoken to me directly.
So it might not be an overheard as much as it's just something somebody said to me.
But anyway, I was walking through a city place the other day with a six pack of traditional
ale that I had just bought.
with a six-pack of traditional ale that I had just bought.
And this guy kind of, like, made a beeline right towards me and got, like, way too close for my personal comfort or whatever.
And he goes, like, he just gets right in there and he goes,
hey, I'm a lawyer.
I'll take that case.
And then he just, like, walked off laughing, and I yelled at him that that was a pretty good line. And then I laughed and walked away, too.
Then what happened?
That is true.
then what happens?
That is true.
If you walk around with a case of beer,
people think you're open season for hilarious. Yes.
Or if you're delivering flowers.
Oh, yeah.
Are those for me?
Right here.
Right here.
Bring it on in here.
Or in this neighborhood,
you walk around with a case of beer
and people are like,
spare a can?
Spare a can.
Spare a can, dear traveler.
Please, sir,
can I have another?
The kid's drunk.
Thanks for the overheard.
Pick up the pace.
Here is your next phone call.
Hey, David Graham
and stranger.
This is Andrew
from Nebraska.
I'm calling because I'm an appliance repairman and I was in a customer's home last week.
I was working on their washing machine and they were speaking in the other room.
About halfway through the repair, I don't know if they knew that I could hear them,
but I only heard the husband angrily whisper to his wife,
no, I don't think they train him how to work on those.
About 45 minutes later, I was finishing up the repair and explaining it to them.
And finally, at the end, there was kind of an awkward pause,
and they kind of shuffled towards me and said,
how much do you know about custom-made massage chairs?
I didn't stick around to find out.
I mean, you got your tools out already.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I never would have guessed that.
It's just not really getting my butt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Feel never would have guessed that. It's just not really getting my butt. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Feel this.
Look at these knots.
Yeah, take out your tools and work on my butt.
You got anything there to loosen up these knots in my butt?
But custom-built massage chair.
It's not a homemade massage chair, do you think?
No.
I would think professionally made.
But what would you customize?
Like the size?
I don't know.
The positioning of the...
I got a weird lumbar in my shoulders.
Yeah.
I've never owned anything like that.
Massage.
I recently got a little neck massager.
It's pretty rad.
It's not a vibrator for the listeners.
It's like a neck pillow that has a heating and vibrates.
Like, yeah.
I guess it is a vibrator.
You can sit on it.
I could sit on it.
You sit on it.
There was one that sort of shaped like a toilet seat.
Like my mom used to have that look like it was like two hands.
Oh, the shiatsu.
The shiatsu, yeah.
And I used to just pin down my brother and put it on his face.
We used to ride the ferry back and forth to school,
and there were these massage chairs on it.
Massage chairs.
Massage chairs.
And people would sit in them, not knowing that you had to pay for them.
Because they just looked like big Lazy Boy chairs.
So they looked really nice.
But there's like the prods are poking you as you sit in it without paying.
You put a loony in it or whatever.
And then a voice comes on and says, please pay to activate.
And people would just sit in these things while the voice is yelling at them.
And it's not comfortable.
If they're not moving, it's not a comfy chair.
But people will just, they don't, you know.
They think they're gaming the system.
Yeah, yeah.
Nobody else knew about these chairs.
They're just rubbing themselves on the chair, but the chair is.
Quick, vibrate me.
Somebody's just shaking it.
Yeah.
A bunch of people posted pictures online of, like, you know the thing that you put a basket
in at the grocery store that, like, that's the thing that you put a basket in at the grocery store?
Yeah. Holds the basket?
Yeah, and pile them on. And there was a whole
series of people just dragging
around that thing as if it was
like an extendo.
I love it. Yeah, so people will...
Are they dragging around that
with like eight baskets piled on? No, with one
basket. Somebody's put a basket in there like
this is for me. I'm just taking the whole apparatus around the store.
People think they're life hacking or whatever.
They should just be hacked to death. The opposite of a life hack.
Here's your final phone call. Hi, Dave Graham, Impossible
Guest. This is Julie from Southern Indiana calling in with an overheard.
Go Pacers. I eat supper
every week with my 94-year-old grandma at her retirement home. And normally the things I hear
there are kind of depressing and racist, but last night I heard a good one. There was a guy
reading to the rest of his table off of an iPad, and I heard him say,
your pants say yoga, but your ass says McDonald's.
And I got a big laugh.
That's a pretty good joke.
Yeah.
Especially because, like...
Wait.
Did it say yoga on the pants?
Yeah, and also McDonald's and yoga aren't, like, mutually exclusive.
No, that's true.
You can do yoga in a McDonald's.
Yeah, absolutely.
They've got a whole area, the play place.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Do you think that we'll all get to be racist when we're older?
Oh, boy.
I mean, I'm getting a start on it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can ramp up.
Yeah, do you think like you just are like, ah, well.
Ah, well.
I'm old.
Yeah. this is my
this is my old right
here's what I agree with
some other people
when they get older
they just lose their
filter
right
either like
they just don't care anymore
or they have
some sort of
mental
deficiency
so they've been racist
all along
they've just
held it in
that's what
the sixth sense is about
at the end
he's like
the director's Indian.
It turns out he was racist the whole time.
Yeah, that's right.
But there's a lot of old people who aren't racist, too.
That's true.
There's six old people who aren't racist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Name them.
You can't.
Well, there's Morris. Yeah. Chauncey. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. You can't. Well, there's Morris.
Yeah.
Chauncey.
Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton.
Is he old yet?
He's old.
Have you seen him?
He looks old.
Yeah, he's old.
I bet he could still have an affair.
I bet he's still got it.
We're rooting for you, Bill.
He's still DTF.
I may be OLD, but I'm still DTF.
