Starting point is 00:02:20 Like they don't, you can't make, they don't make powdered alcohol. I wonder if they could. They probably could. I, I feel like I should know if it's not an urban legend or not, but I feel people have talked about powdered alcohol, like snortable alcohol, but I,
Starting point is 00:02:34 I really, what would be the advantage? It gets into the blood faster. That's why I snort things. You could take it on planes. You could take it on planes. Yeah take as much as you want on planes Yeah, you could get more wasted on a plane But they have alcohol on planes
Starting point is 00:02:50 That's true But, yeah, getting drunk faster That's definitely an advantage But, yeah, you can't bring your own alcohol on planes Because you can't have liquid That's true So, yeah, you'd have to pay for it on planes But you could just be like, can I have a water?
Starting point is 00:03:06 For reasons, for the reasons Yeah, yeah, you'd have to pay for it on planes, but you could just be like, can I have a water for reasons, for the reasons? Yeah, yeah. Water in a whiskey glass with ice. But no whiskey. Don't worry. I got that covered. Powdered whiskey. Do we want to move on to overheards?

Starting point is 00:03:57 So bubbly. I didn't have champagne flutes. These are glasses from Ikea. Yeah, I was a little disappointed. Today's kind of a bust, but it's all good. It's all good. Are you a brunchman?
Starting point is 00:04:10 Yeah, I do like going for brunch. It's an excuse to continue the night from before, I guess. I don't like going to eat dinner. Yeah, brunch is fun because it's relaxed. You have the whole day. It's like the only time there's not a lot of things that you have to get to.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Right. Whenever I'm at dinners, I always feel like I have to set an alarm, and I'm like, sorry, I've got to go at this time and then leave. I've left a lot of family dinners in a hurry to go to shows. My phone starts ringing, and I just yell and then just throw money on the table and scamper out. At your parents' house? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Here it is. It should cover it parents house yeah buy yourself something nice you know i'm good for it you can change your filthy mobile i'm a little short can i wash dishes in the back oh don't call the police yeah uh your grandma already pulled that line she's in the back doing the pots and pans um so you you're a brunchman you're uh brunchman. How long have you been doing this stand-up for? Just over three years. Okay. And are you loving it? Yeah, loving every minute of it.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Loving! There it is. Who's that? McDonald's. Is it McDonald's? I feel like it's like a Canadian classic rock band or something. Yeah. Chilliw band or something. Yeah. Chilliwack or something.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Oh, yeah, sure. Your Chilliwack's your... I'll look it up, guys. You continue talking. So brunch, what's that like? It's fun. You know, the best part about brunch is if you've never been to a brunch place, the surprise you get when you receive the potatoes. Like, everyone does them a little different.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Yeah, sure. That's true. How are my hash browns coming? What do you get in a brunch? I'm not a sweets person, so. Savory. Yeah, salt and meat and eggs. Have you ever, because I'm getting to the age where I.
Starting point is 00:06:01 You're like just a porch. No, no. Where it's like I've had enough overcooked eggs that I'm, I'm, I've never complained. I've never sent them back, but I'm getting to the point where it's like, look,
Starting point is 00:06:12 this is my, like a rubbery egg. No, like the, the yolk is hard. I want the yolk running. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yeah. Okay. I'm way too meek to do that, but every time I'm, I'm extremely frustrated and then i want to take it out on someone but instead just eat the eggs and then i'm upset for i'm always blown away when somebody returns a thing at a restaurant or something i just think i'm like what confidence yeah that you can be like no no does it ruin someone else's day like does the the cook feel bad about it i
Starting point is 00:06:43 don't i don't i just know from like shows like bar rescue and stuff is when stuff gets sent back john tafferty will yell at you in the kitchen or gordon ramsay and the beaver brown band um it was a lover boy love in every minute of them they they uh were famous for either having love or boy in every one of their songs. Working for the boy, Ken. Yeah. Boy in every minute of it. Yeah. Yeah, but I don't know. I don't think I've ever sent back food. No, I had one time I went to a work.
Starting point is 00:07:19 It was like a, I guess we all had to go to a different city. It was weird. all had to go to a different city. It was weird. Everybody had to go. Well, not everyone did, but like the Toronto office and the Vancouver office at CBC. One year they would come to Vancouver. One year we'd go to Toronto. Right. And then just have like a, you know, retreat or summit.
Starting point is 00:07:41 You know, do ropes courses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some dumb thing. Yeah, an escape room. Yeah. And one day we went out to dinner and the waiter brought us one long bill for like, for 30 people. Oh, man. That's pretty ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:08:00 And so we were like, what do we do? And then my boss was like super confident. And was like, well, can I speak to the manager, please? Wow. And instead of that, the waiter just fixed it. I did a can I speak to the manager. Have you ever done that before? No.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Like I said, I am very meek. Like someone could openly insult me and like spit in my food. And I would just be like only 10 for you missy please don't think i'm a bad person yeah um yeah i was on the phone with somebody and they they didn't do the the thing i wanted i was like my card didn't work and so i was just checking to make sure it hadn't been stolen or whatever. And they're like, it's fine, probably. Yeah, the guy was like, well, you can come into the bank.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And I was like, no, no, no. Like, put your manager on the phone. Like, this is not, I'm not, that can't be the thing when you're on the phone call. Like, oh, just go to the, just pass it off to somebody else. Just send me a check. Does that fix it? Well, yeah, okay, I'll send you the check, and only a 10% tip for you.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I've had a lot of people say, I'll get my manager when interacting with me. Now that I think about it, so I'm the reverse. I'm the problem. I'm the guy who should be sent back i feel like people at call centers should be able to call and ask for your parents can i speak to your mother please who raised you does your mother know you talk like this oh that would that would really
Starting point is 00:09:36 take a lot of you know steam out of a fight somebody asks you like a steamy, sexy fight. Oh, yeah. At a sauna. Over my sauna bill. So, you're not originally from Vancouver. You're from? Kamloops, British Columbia, the home of Senator and Olympic gold medalist Nancy Green. Is there a sign somewhere that says that? No, she's not very well liked. She's not a nice lady. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:10:03 Yeah. Why? What did she do? Did she do dirty politics? No, I think she's not very well liked. She's not a nice lady. Oh, really? Yeah. Why? What did she do? Did she do dirty politics? No, I think she's just mean and unpleasant. Now, I thought she was from Rossland, BC. No, there's someone from Rossland, I think. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Has the town secret been exposed? Yeah. Just rip the signs down, boys. Yeah, we'll have to just put back up our old side. Kamloops, a town. Yeah, nobody from here. It says the tournament capital of Canada when you drive in, and then either Bramford or Brampton, one of the two,
Starting point is 00:10:37 decided to also call themselves the tournament capital of Canada. And since there's no board that does oversight, there's no bureaucracy of tournaments. Or city nicknames. That's true. Yeah, it's a real rough riders, rough riders situation, but of towns. Yeah, but I mean,
Starting point is 00:10:56 you could split that into your eastern and western. Yeah, but it's very specific Canada in bold letters. This is Canada's tournament capital. And no one knows if it's per capita. Are there a lot of tournaments? Oh, yeah, there are. In sporting events, I guess? Yeah, we're a tournament-based economy.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Once the mills shut down, minor baseball kept that town alive. Yeah, a lot of trophy manufacturers opened up. The sliced orange business. The gold mine, the silver mine, the bronze mine. The ribbon mine, the participant ribbon mine. Yeah, the sequined mine. Because I don't think I've ever stayed in Kamloops in a hotel that wasn't also hosting a hockey team or football team or something like that.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Yeah, I know. Yeah, a lot of, they have some famous, infamous tournaments there in minor things that no one cares about unless you're some road dog scout. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But, yeah, they have a lot of those there. And they also have the Tournament Capital Center, which is a very nice facility where I played football. Was that really what it was called? The Tournament, yeah. Oh, man, they're really sticking with their story here.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah, they're not Brampton or Bramford. I don't know which one is really flexing on Kamloops, and Kamloops is not backing down. City Hall is on Tournament Boulevard. We've got Champion Street, Participant Avenue. I'm going to Google Tournament Capital of Canada. Oh. And see what comes up.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Yikes. And see who's the first. Do you know what I bet will come up? Loverboy. Oh, well, if you go to tournamentcapital.com, it's Kamloops. Oh, yeah. You know they got in on that. They got in on that real early. At first, they bought the site. Then they were like, Oh, yeah. You know they got in on that. They got in on that real early.
Starting point is 00:12:47 At first, they bought the site. Then they were like, oh, website, domain, domain. I'll tell you right now, it's the only thing on the first page. Kamloops. Yeah. Locking it down. Okay, so they won, clearly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:57 They won that tournament. Yeah, the tournament of tournament capitals of Canada. Undefeated. Now, you play football. You were a sportsman. A sportsman, yes. A sportsman and a brunchman. A sportsman and a brunchman.
Starting point is 00:13:09 How else can you fuel your sports? I don't know. Breakfast, lunch? Who has the time when you're always sporting? Yeah, that's true. You skip breakfast because you're doing practice. And then what are you doing? I'm looking up...
Starting point is 00:13:24 This is a Wikipedia article. Of pan loops? uh, uh, doing practice. Yep. And then what are you doing? I'm looking up, uh, uh, this is a Wikipedia list of city nicknames in Canada. There's a Tisdale, a Saskatchewan, the home of a Brent, but has one of the worst nicknames in all of town land, a land of rape and honey.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah. Rape and honey. Oh, a rapeseed. Yeah. Canola Land of Rape and Honey. Oh, Rapeseed? Rapeseed, yeah. Canola. They've really considered, but haven't acted on, changing the name of the town. There's a lot of death metal bands will tour through Saskatchewan to do the Saskatoon Regina. If they ever stop through there, I think there's a famous death metal made that like their shirt just replaced tisdale with their name that looks like melted cheese
Starting point is 00:14:08 i don't think that's the goal of a metal logo i think it's supposed to be blood or yeah bones or molten lava look at them it looks like when you sprinkle cheese on nachos and then it melts like it's there's there were strings at some point but they've all kind of merged together do you guys remember when uh there was that ad for cheese strings that uh was the music was wild thing yeah okay cool do you remember when there was the ad for uh crumble cheese and uh it was uh crumb believable. Crumbling every minute of it. Crumbling. So what did you play? You played.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I was a linebacker. And then I went to this league that exists. It's probably the lowest form of post-secondary football in North America. But every once in a while, they put someone in the CFL or the NFL. It's called the CJFL. Canadian Junior Football League? Yeah. And I played for the expansion team,
Starting point is 00:15:12 the Kamloops Broncos, and I showed up and was not good because I was a linebacker and I was very slow. So they were like, you can't cover anyone. And then because the team was really bad, they were like, well, we'll just put you on defensive line for four years. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:15:25 What does a linebacker do? A linebacker is if you watch a lot of bad sports commentary, they'll say, it's the quarterback of the defense. But it's just the guy in the middle of the field. It's usually like. Sometimes he goes forward. Sometimes he goes backwards. That's what separates him from the defensive back. Have any of them ever done it on a Segway?
Starting point is 00:15:47 Because that's good for forward and backward. That's true. I think that's Spike TV's replacement for slam ball. Segway football. Hoverball. What is slam ball? You remember slam ball. I don't think I do.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I remember the XFL. I remember that like it was yesterday. Slam ball was a futuristic sport created by Spike TV that involved, it was basketball with trampolines. Trampolines. A lot of injuries. There's no way that I knew that existed because just the addition of trampolines would have captured my imagination. It was a 40-foot hoop. Is that true, is it?
Starting point is 00:16:23 No. But it had to be a higher hoop, right? Yeah. Otherwise, it would just be a lot of guys going just like, I miscalculated this. It's just going over the hoop. Into the ground. Because mascots use trampolines,
Starting point is 00:16:38 but they do it from far out, man. Far away, yeah. Hippie mascots. And they're supposed to do flips every time. Yeah, the big thing, as we all know, in slam ball is the biggest addition to slam ball was a lot of players would jump over the hoop and get stuck in the peach basket. And James Naismith, the janitor, said, why don't you just cut a hole in the board?
Starting point is 00:17:02 But I need these baskets. I said, why don't you just cut a hole in the board? But I need these baskets. Yeah, I was watching a video of one of those mascots. The bull, the Chicago Bulls bull. What do you think his name is? Horny? Bullseye. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Fun. Billy, these are all good. It's possibility. Red eyes. Hoof and mouth disease. Bulbo. He did a thing where he was supposed to jump on a trampoline, but he ran right through and hit a guy who was carrying a lot of popcorn. And there was a big argument on this internet thread.
Starting point is 00:17:38 That's my new thing is just reading the comments. I don't even read the thing. The argument was whether it was planned or not? Yeah. But the bull had a blindfold on his fake eyes. Like, well, of course he could see, you idiot. So it was planned? Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:56 A mascot doesn't do anything on the fly. It's all terribly choreographed. There have been a few mishaps. There's that, I want to say the San Jose shark or maybe the Anaheim duck who was supposed to be going through like a flaming hoop and just fell. There's definitely one of the Toronto Raptors. Yeah. The roller skates.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Isn't he on, or is he running? Oh, he's like an inflatable. Yeah, and he like falls face first on the ground, and he's all kind of bent out of shape. Do you think mascots know that everyone's rooting against them? I don't know what mascots know. Are they allowed in the locker room with the team? No, it's very clear that they have their own locker room.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Well, that's even better. And they have to sit across. Although I guess it's discrimination. Yeah, oh, yeah. Speciesism. Yeah, they have to sit across... Although I guess it's discrimination. Yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah. It's a big... Yeah, they have to sit across from the other mascot. It's like when you have a... The home and away mascots have to share.
Starting point is 00:18:56 The away mascot travels with the team? Yeah. Oh, man, he's going to get booed a lot. The Dove gig. He's just brought his t-shirt cannon just to shoot people. Just to get to his... Just for defense. He's just putting heads of cabbage in there and firing them.
Starting point is 00:19:11 The only thing that stops a bad mascot with a t-shirt cannon is a good mascot with a t-shirt cannon. Yeah, like... Because people want to fuck with mascots. Like, as soon as they see them, there's like a human instinct to punch trip, pull something down, knock something off. There's this rivalry game that used to happen between UBC. Between Brampton and Cambridge. It was more of a game as it was just a bureaucracy overseeing tournaments
Starting point is 00:19:44 and their statistics. It was the worst thing ever on TSN, too. The ratings were in the toilet. But, yeah, this rivalry game between SFU and UBC. And one year, someone from SFU, like a student, assaulted the UBC mascot. Like, went and punched. And it's usually women from gymnastic backgrounds or a lot of oh yeah yeah yeah you like just assaulted a lady because he was drunk i thought you meant the
Starting point is 00:20:13 people who were assaulting the mascots were like flipping into the mascot yeah they're usually from gymnastics yeah yeah they to blow off steam somehow. I did look up the, there's no listing in Wikipedia for the nickname for Brantford. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:20:34 But I assume it's still birthplace of Wayne Gretzky. Sure. Oh, God, yeah. But Brampton, the only nickname, oh, there's two nicknames
Starting point is 00:20:41 listed. Flower City. Okay. And Bram Ladesh. A derogatory nickname in reference to the large South Asian community. I was about to say that. It would be weird if a city would do something like that.
Starting point is 00:20:53 I don't think it's official. It's a... Yeah. The Flower City though, I think that I've heard that before because they have flowers. I mean that that to me is always the laziest thing when you're like we're the city of of trees or things that just were there before the city i don't know what you guys didn't do anything do we have a nickname here yeah we're
Starting point is 00:21:18 um expensive uh the yeah the most expensive city i mean I've heard a lot of derogatory ones. But cities don't have home of the whopper or whatever. Small towns have that. Oh, okay. Well, because it used to say when you were entering the city, it used to say, welcome to Vancouver, a nuclear weapons free zone. And that was Greenpeace. Yeah. So I guess Vancouver could be home of Greenpeace.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I'll look it up. It's not going to be a thing, so don't bother looking it up. If they're listing Bram Ladesh. I think that is. Well, I know what they will list. Yeah, I know what some derogatory one of Vancouver is. What is it? I'm not touching that.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Is it a racial one? Yes. Okay, I know what it is. Yeah. So don't bother looking at it. It's called Honky City. Yeah, Cracker Town. So you played in this football league for four years.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yeah, and I was on a very bad team. Were you thinking you were going to play football? Oh, completely delusional, yes, in fact. to vancouver on a football scholarship to play football and then like moved up a level playing for the university and was like okay lord i'm frighteningly bad at this oh so you were undersized but how did you get a scholarship i was good i was a medium fish in a small pond i guess but like the position i played like you're supposed to be the strongest person on the field. Who are famous linebackers? I was a defensive tackle.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Oh, okay. So if you were to think of famous ones... But you said linebacker earlier. Yeah, it was where I started. Oh, okay. And I was really slow, so they were like, we don't have many defensive line players
Starting point is 00:23:01 and our team's bad, so you can play D-tackle for us. And I was like, thanks for having me on the team guys and then I brought everyone mimosa yeah
Starting point is 00:23:09 that's how I stayed on the team that's how I got the scholarship when you won the championship you just poured a big mimosa
Starting point is 00:23:16 over your coach well no we got a guy with a bucket full of champagne and a guy with a bucket full of orange juice
Starting point is 00:23:23 poured them both at the same time mixed them over your coach champagne and a bucket full of orange juice. Pour them both at the same time. Mix them over your coach. Mmm. These are great. When you made these actually,
Starting point is 00:23:33 you put so much champagne and so little orange juice. Like the orange juice just colors it. Yeah. I thought it was going to be overpowering. But it's quite nice.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I think it's not supposed to be 50-50. I never went to Mimosa Mixology School. I did on a Mimosa scholarship. You did it right. You did Mimosa's proud.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Thank you. So you, I don't understand. The position that you were then in, like you had to be a stronger, bigger guy? Yeah, like the strongest, biggest guy. Like if you watch the NFL, like it's usually the guy that's like 300 pounds and like is big and scary.
Starting point is 00:24:11 And I wasn't that. We like, and it was just, I was like. What's scary about him? Ah, he's, he's, he's just got that
Starting point is 00:24:19 dead look in his eyes, you know? Like he doesn't care about nothing. From all the head trauma. Yeah, which I probably will develop. Anywho but like now there's other ways to be scary aside from just being big and uh and strong oh yeah oh yeah yeah he's always uh he oh you only ever see him outside
Starting point is 00:24:39 of football at night in a playground he's sl Slenderman. All of defensive tackles are Slenderman. Yeah, they're very tall so they can get their arms up and block the pass. Yeah, yeah, that's why Slenderman. He's not big, but
Starting point is 00:24:54 he's, yeah, he's tall and intimidating. Oh, so scary. I don't even know really much about him. He's always kind of blurry. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:02 We're playing a team next week there. Defensive tackle's the Babadook. He's scary. Oh and we're playing a team next week they're defensive tackles the baba duke oh we're playing his cropsy next week so scary um oh yeah that guy has hooks for hands these are all the these are all the possible scary opponents uh so then after four years you moved into a higher league and then you were were like, I got to get out of here? No, I didn't even, despite not even seeing the field and essentially being a water boy, I just tore my ACL and then was like, oh, I should probably do something else. And I had always wanted to do stand-up.
Starting point is 00:25:36 I'd wrote for years and years in Kamloops, and there's just nowhere to do it at that time. Now they have horrible shows. I mean, very good shows that you can be on with great local comedians that are really wonderful and write all of their own jokes. They're not from the internet
Starting point is 00:25:52 or anything. Oh, man. I love that kind of comedian. The guy who writes all of his own jokes. Kamlo's home of trash talk. No, no. He was being authentic.
Starting point is 00:26:04 I just assumed the jack-off motion was because he needs to get out of here in a minute. Cam Loves Home of Trash Talk. No, no. He was being authentic. Yeah, that's true. I just assumed the jack-off motion was because he needs to get out of here in a minute. Yeah, that's right. I just get a little antsy when I've had a couple of mimosas in me. That's why I'm banned from a lot of brunch places. Yeah. Good one. But I think I read it on the internet.
Starting point is 00:26:24 So, are you excited about the movie concussion yeah yeah uh just more to uh to see old will uh big willie style pull off that african accent the whole movie ah yes i've seen ads i didn't know that that was a story but that was a plot point that he's an african gentleman yeah it's yeah it's uh i guess that it's based on a real story, but they think they, people would just be like, yeah, it's going to be weird. Yeah. Just have him not talk like that. He's the fresh, fresh prince.
Starting point is 00:26:51 And I don't, I feel like he's going to struggle. I could, I don't know. What, with the accent? Yeah. I don't believe in Will Smith is what I'm trying to say. It's my big agenda here. Him and DJ Jazzy Jeff going on tour in 2016 for some reason. Seriously?
Starting point is 00:27:04 Yeah. I know. It's weird because it's not like, he's like Will Smith. He's still like a famous guy that doesn't need to do that. And they've never performed live. What? They've never performed live? I don't think they have ever performed live.
Starting point is 00:27:20 What, live? They've never performed for their wives. Well, I know that Jada Pinkett Smith was on OddsFest. Live. Wive. They've never performed for their wives. Well, I know that Jada Pinkett Smith was on OzFest. Yeah. Oh, I remember being a 14-year-old metalhead, being very upset on metal message boards. Like, are you real metal? What? Shit.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Are you a metalhead? Yeah. Former metalhead. I've been metal-free for 30 days. No. It was concussed out of me. Yeah. Out of my metalhead.

That is very hard to quantify. The Tila Tequilas of heavy metal. And here I am listening to the Cindy Margolis of country. I don't even know who that is, but it She was the most
Starting point is 00:30:26 downloaded woman on the internet from like 1999 to 2001. Wow. She had her own TV show. What was her show? The Cindy Margolis
Starting point is 00:30:34 show. Was it a sitcom? No, it was like a Saturday night party show. So it took place in a party. Do they have those
Starting point is 00:30:44 anymore? They do have like that, like Daryl Hall, live from Daryl Hall's house and the Brian McKnight show. Now, Daryl Hall from Hall and Oates? Yeah. Okay. And Brian McKnight, like it's a party at their house and it's just like, hey, we're going to be partying all night.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Well, I don't know if it's a party, but it's like a lot of musical performances and a little bit of chat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's in a party setting? I don't know. I haven't watched any of them. But I assume that's sort of what it is. Because it can't be like a monologue. Brian McKnight goes, oh, have you heard of this?
Starting point is 00:31:22 Have you heard of that one? It's like a dream come true. Two, something want wanna be with you. Every one of his monologues descends into that song. He always comes back to one. Yeah. So, Angela Merkel. A lot of refugee pushback from the Macedonians.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Three. Yeah, they said they're only gonna let it three um not bad but like uh I feel like growing up
Starting point is 00:31:53 there were like uh shows like Electric Circus or there would be other shows that were like like that
Starting point is 00:31:59 like the they'd be like a party like MTV's like uh at the beach or spring break. Yeah. It would just be footage of people partying that you would just watch.
Starting point is 00:32:12 And then maybe there were segments, but mostly it was just footage of people partying. And then maybe music videos or live performances. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, how come Netflix hasn't, like, put out a series like that? Just like, Netflix party. Did you watch the Bill Murray Christmas special on Netflix? Me neither. But I'm done with Christmas. Well, you're done with Christmas.
Starting point is 00:32:35 I'm done with the self-aware Christmas special. Anything after the 80s that references 70s and 80s Christmas specials. That's true. Like, I was the one that I watched Paul Lynn's Halloween special. It was, like, from that era when people, like, made specials. And it's great. Like, Kiss was the musical guest. And, but, yeah, doing it as a winking.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Did Tila Tequila have a show? Yeah. A shot of love with Tila Tequila. Was it a reality show? It was a reality show when people, I believe, of two different genders, of men and women, tried for the shot at love with Tila Tequila. Oh, because she was bisexual. And then you had to get a shot of penicillin. That was the after show. Yeah. A shot of penicillin with Tila Tequila. Oh, because she was bisexual. And then you had to get a shot of penicillin. That was the after show.
Starting point is 00:33:27 A shot of penicillin with Tila Tequila's dog. Instead of a rose, it was a shot of penicillin. But didn't she then do something at the gathering of the juggalos? Yeah, she was assaulted at the gathering. I don't know if it was... I think she tried to do a musical performance.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Yeah, I don't know if it was music or, people just threw stuff at her. I think she tried to do a musical performance. Yeah, I don't know if it was music or if she was a spoken word. Yeah. A night without tequila. Was that the name of her poetry book? Yeah, the worst selling poetry book in North America. The Sting of Salt and Lime with Tila Tequila. Oh, there you go. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:01 The Worm Turns with Tila Tequila. These are all great Tela Tequila books. But then, wasn't she doing a thing? Didn't she do a thing where she was a Nazi for a while or something like that? It wasn't like a thing. What's with the Teela Tequila expert? I grew up in my most pivotal years that shaped me as a person. In my age group would be, obviously, the 9-11 attacks or when I hit hit puberty and then Tila Tequila are the two things that have shaped world history.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Tila Tequila. I guess that's why you and I know so much about Kathy Ireland. Exactly. It wasn't like for a show or anything. It was probably either a mental illness or just some very misguided views where she just, there's some dark places on the internet. And I think she went to those places and thought she found some good ideas. She joined some weird MySpace group.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Yeah. Well, post MySpace, like we're talking, yeah, the 4chan places of the world, the bad places, and then, yeah, became a Nazi. Yeah. I remember like she was super racist. and she was dressing in like old nazi uniforms and stuff and like was posting pictures online and i think people were like interesting i like where this is going let's book her for the gathering of the juggalos yeah oh man yeah i guess i'd be pretty mad if i was a Juggalo, and then they brought her out on stage.
Starting point is 00:35:26 That'd be pretty. I think most Juggalos are pretty mad all the time. Yeah, that's why you become a Juggalo. You don't come from a happy place. Not a lot of hugs in Juggalo childhoods. They're not called Huggalos. They're not called Huggalos. That's true.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Oh, man. That's true. There are some friends of mine from Kamloops that are in fact Juggalos. Wow, really? A couple of Juggalos, I believe the phrase they go is, I think it's like,
Starting point is 00:35:57 That's the phrase. That's the phrase that pays. That's the phrase that pays minimum wage. That's the phrase. Yeah, that's the phrase that pays. The phrase that pays minimum wage. Yeah, Kamloops should change their name to Home of a Couple Jugglers. Oh, wow. Dave, what's going on with you?
Starting point is 00:36:19 Oh, not much. My baby took her first steps. Like a fish? like a fish no like a fish like short for official oh fish don't take that that's true unless they're evolving yes um yeah she took like three between three and five steps over two days she's she's been standing yeah she's been like they call it uh what do they call it? Not scooting. There's a word for it when you walk as you're holding onto a table. Yeah, like she'll hold onto a table. Yeah, she's drunk.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Sometimes she'll use a cane. Cruising, that's called cruising. Oh, cruising. Yeah, she goes on all the cruising message boards. It's fine. She's very grown up. Yeah. Anyway, I don't want to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:37:09 What I do want to talk about. Well, I mean, congratulations to baby mom. Yeah, good for her. She'll, you know, like I'm of two minds about it. One mind says. Of course, it's great. She's got to grow up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:23 And then also, cute crawling. Yeah. Cats in the cradle. I just wish I'd been there. Yeah. Well, I was there. But, you know, I wish I'd been there more. Sure.
Starting point is 00:37:36 But my real topic this week is tacos. Go on. Because growing up, did you guys eat tacos? Yeah. And when you had tacos, what were they? Uh, they were hard shell,
Starting point is 00:37:47 hard shell. Yeah. With a little packet of spices. Yep. Yeah. Ground beef, ground beef and, uh,
Starting point is 00:37:53 tomato, uh, lettuce, sliced lettuce. And then, uh, cheese. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Yeah. Beans, you know, maybe sour cream. They have some refried beans in there. Yeah. Yeah. Beans. You know, maybe sour cream. They have some refried beans in there. Yeah. Because now we live in a world where tacos are, you get gourmet soft tacos. Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Yeah. From tons of places in town. Soft, soft little like round things. That are different kinds of meats, different parts of a pig's face. Sure. Like they'll serve you the cheeks. They'll serve you the tongue. Over the lips, over the tongue. Look out, stomach here.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Tacos come. Tacos come. Yeah. And it's, you know, there'll be like 40 different kinds on a menu. And they're all wonderful and prepared, like authentically and slow cooked and all this stuff. And then the other day abby was like hey why don't we have tacos and just make tacos and you know what i did i just made the same old dumb tacos you went right back to i got a little packet from the grocery store old el paso like
Starting point is 00:38:57 uh yeah old el paso el paso old el paso old el paso to you grody El Paso. El Paso. Old El Paso. Old El Paso. Old El Paso to you. Grody. I was grinding on some munchies from Old El Paso. What are these from New York City? This guy gets his salsa from New York City. New York City. Not me, man. I use Pace Picante.
Starting point is 00:39:26 I use Pace Picante sauce on my old El Paso tacos. He says taco. He's from Minnesota at the end. Were they so much fun to eat? I remember them being a lot of fun to eat when I was a kid. No, they fall apart. That's why it's fun. It's like eating.
Starting point is 00:39:44 It's true. But i was disappointed in myself like we can you i know all these other kinds of tacos now i could try to make them but no you just went like basically it was like a you know a kit yeah it's like you just went back to your like factory factory settings yeah like. Tacos. Like tacos. We did do the thing because of how they they fall apart. We got soft shell
Starting point is 00:40:10 as well and wrapped them around the hard shell. Ah, fun. And then you do cement it with beans? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:16 You can cement it with melted cheese is what Taco Bell does. Oh, yeah. I think you can also do well, of course you can you can do whatever you want. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Anything creamy. You can put fudge in there. Yeah, but we did beans. Yeah. So, great. I think you can also do well of course you can you can you can do whatever you want anything anything creamy you can put fudge in there yeah but we did beans yeah so great still good I feel like
Starting point is 00:40:31 that's a thing too is tacos used to be a thing that you would only eat with people who really knew you well or like you would never
Starting point is 00:40:39 go on a date to eat tacos in the hard shell days I've never seen them in a restaurant well what do you call it that fish tacos no like taco time to eat tacos in the hard shell days. I've never seen them in a restaurant. Well, what do you call it?
Starting point is 00:40:47 Fish tacos. No, like taco time. You can get like a hard shell taco. Good, good, fresh, fresh. Talking about the very best anytime. Taco time.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Taco Bell. They have soft ones now. Yeah, they would have a hard as well. You're right, you're right. Yeah. And the Dorito. Yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:41:03 but you wouldn't eat them in front of like a first date or somebody new in your life. No, that's true. The big business lunch. We're merging companies. Now it's time for the taco lunch. Unless the companies are a hard shell taco company and a soft shell taco company. They do the symbolic spreading of the bean.
Starting point is 00:41:23 On the contract. On a giant. On a giant. To get together. With a giant spatula. We'll take your contract or this contract and put them together. And they get the mayor to do it and it's a big photo op. He runs the spatula. Why is the mayor involved in this?
Starting point is 00:41:39 It's going to create a lot of soft jobs in the city. And hard jobs. Yeah, absolutely. And they cut a ribbon made of tortilla. Or just one long piece of lettuce. Graham, you need to learn a few things about lettuce. Yeah, now you're just getting ridiculous. One long piece of lettuce.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Get out of here. Go to hell. I don't know. Because I think shredded lettuce looks most like a ribbon to me. Of all the taco stuffings. Bubble tape? No, I'm not. No, fuck!
Starting point is 00:42:09 Shit! Why would they do bubble tape? I was kind of thinking what you were going to say next, and I thought it looks the most ribbon of foods. And right in my brain, I was like, oh, there's so many more foods that look like ribbons. And then you said taco stuffings, and I was like, bubble day? Like, alright, well, that's what I'm coming up with. Yeah, that's how my brain is.
Starting point is 00:42:31 It's a lot like football. You go forward, momentum. If you're going to fuck up, fuck up at 100%, is what my coaches and brain would always say. That seems like a... Yeah, they don't tell lawyers or engineers that. Yeah, if you guys make mistakes, I want big mistakes. I had a friend who used to play football and he was like,
Starting point is 00:42:49 he told me he quit because every play hurt. Yeah, you just get, if it's cold out, everything hurts all the time. But baby, it's cold outside. I really can't play. Ah. Hey, last week was our Christmas episode And I think it was the first time in the history of the show Where we haven't mentioned that whoop-dee-doo hickory dock song Oh, the Andy Williams hit?

Starting point is 00:43:37 of like taco trucks and stuff yeah and we didn't grow up with like taco Bell didn't exist here. We had a taco time in Calgary. Yeah. Um, and also like, uh, I remember, uh, fish taco being like a,
Starting point is 00:43:50 a slang term. Yeah. And now it turns out they're the best. I mean, the slang terms, the best fish tacos are pretty good themselves. I remember when I saw it, like the first time,
Starting point is 00:44:00 like maybe it was Baja fresh or something open. And it was like fish tacos. And I was just like losing it. I'm like or something open and it was like fish tacos and I was just like losing it I'm like oh man these guys don't know anything yeah have they not heard our slangs yeah what a dumb peninsula yeah learn more slangs yeah totally um so that's what's going on with me pretty good ate. Ate a taco. Yeah. You probably had more than one.

Starting point is 00:44:36 Oh, no, that's true. But I'm rich in love. Yeah, that's true, because you've got friends. Whatever man has friends and tacos. It's, what's his face? The richest man in town from a wonderful life. Yeah yeah the guy who owns the only taco time in town he's the richest man in town it's zuzu's tacos zuzu's tortillas what are you talking you've seen it's a wonderful life yeah but was there somebody named zuzu's pedals oh sure okay got. Oh, sure. Okay, gotcha.
Starting point is 00:45:06 I don't know. Shrug. Yeah, exactly. Look, you don't know it. I don't know it well enough to explain. I know it's a thing. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know that I've seen It's a Wonderful Life.
Starting point is 00:45:17 And like of the Christmas movie variants, I think the Christmas Carol is the one that I've seen the most versions of. Well, there's only one version of it's a wonderful life no but like a lot of sitcoms did like uh like somebody who's like i'm done with christmas and then they show them what oh yeah the world would be like if they'd ever celebrate christmas i know urkel did one where it was like it's a wonderful life and uh married with Children did one. Breaking Bad. It's pretty similar. Yeah, Breaking Bad did a funny Christmas episode.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Both those stories, It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol, have someone come and show you what things would be like if it was different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's basically the same story-ish. The only difference is one's a bad guy and one's a good guy. And it's like, this is what would be like if you weren't around being good.
Starting point is 00:46:10 And it's like, this is what if you kept being bad. Oh, yeah. You used to. Thanks for the book report. And in conclusion. Yeah, I attended a prestigious university
Starting point is 00:46:22 for football. Not for book learning. Not that prestigious. Top 100 universities. Oh, that's cool. Not for the programs I took. What did you end up taking? Philosophy and history.
Starting point is 00:46:37 I transferred from another university. Okay. Dropped out. Now I work construction. But you're not, that's a day job. You're an comedian. We're all here.
Starting point is 00:46:47 We're all in the same place right now. Yeah, we're all eating tacos. Hard and soft shell. We're drinking mimosas. Yeah. We're fine. What's going on with you, Mon Frere? Well, first things first.
Starting point is 00:46:57 This isn't going on with me, but I don't like it. Earlier in the year, we elected a new prime minister, a new government. Good for us. Good for us. He's a guy who says, good friends, welcome. He says things like that.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Yeah, and... I'm going to get a look. Seems like he's doing great. Sure, and he's certainly... I'm going to get tired of... Good friends. He's certainly our best looking prime minister, I would say, ever. I don't know, like I've looked.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Bust a 50 out and look on that sweet mug on Bobby Borden's face. Bobby Borden. Now playing defense. Bobby Borden's on the 10, I think. No, Borden's on the 50. No, the Lion King. William Lion Mackenzie King. I thought he was, who's on the 100? Maybe that's Rob Borden's on the 50. No, the Lion King. William Lion Mackenzie King. I thought he was...
Starting point is 00:47:45 Who's on the 100? Maybe that's Robert Borden. Woodrow Wilson? Is Laurier on the 10? Is Laurier on the 5? McDonald's on the 10. Yeah, Laurier's on the 5. Laurier's on the 5.
Starting point is 00:47:56 The Queen Mum's on the 20. Because she's the queen. But I only ever get 20. I'm sure. Yeah, I think it is Borden because somebody's, I remember writing a thing like, we're all about that Borden. All about those Borden. And I was like.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Canadian rapper? Yeah. Well, I was like. I was thinking Choclair. Cardinal and Choclair. Yeah, it could have been anybody from Northern Touch. But I, so, so our prime minister, minister we arguably arguably our best looking prime minister and so fine right but he's like now he's like in gq and he was in vogue and stuff it's getting
Starting point is 00:48:36 kind of like this is america had to go through this with barack obama and michelle obama because they're cool they're cool they're young and they're good looking. And so they've had to have that. And now we're going through it and I, I don't like it. I'll say it. I don't like it. Well,
Starting point is 00:48:53 I mean, it's sexist, like, but like a lot of women leaders have to go through it as well. Yeah, that's true. I, well,
Starting point is 00:49:00 you know, I only bought that one playboy because that one time magazine. Yeah. Margaret Thatcher's early. She needed the money, you know, I only bought that one Playboy because of... That one Time magazine. Yeah, Margaret Thatcher's early... She didn't want to give you the money. But, like, it's... Did you hear what he said in Vogue magazine or what his wife said? No.
Starting point is 00:49:15 She talked about their first date, and he said, I'm 31 years old. This was on their first date. I'm 31 years old, and I've waited 31 years for you. But, like like how many women did he use that line on? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Every time he taught snowboard. I'm 15 years old and I've been waiting 15 years for you. Every snowboard instructor class with him started that way.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Was he a snowboard instructor? I think that's what it was. I know he was a high school teacher. Yeah, a high school teacher out here and I think he lived
Starting point is 00:49:43 at Whistler or just a snowboard and he was so charismatic school teacher. Yeah, a high school teacher out here, and I think he lived at Whistler. Or just to snowboard, and he was so charismatic. He just taught the town to snowboard. Yeah, they already knew how to snowboard, but they were like, teach us. And he taught them how to love. Oh, yeah, that's true. They didn't know how to love up there. But also, he, for sure, when he was a teacher, he sat on a chair backwards.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That happened on more than one i bet he owned a lot of vests oh yeah yeah especially during the like the early 2000s vests were like the just out yeah when people took off jackets for the first time we're like hey what about just this i mean they were just out of stock. Who wore a vest in the early 2000s? Oh, valets. Donald Rumsfeld.
Starting point is 00:50:35 I feel like the Jonas Brothers were big vest proponents. That was mid to late, though, 2000s. Yeah, that's true. They brought the vest back. They're bringing vesties back. Garment stores don't know how to act. Was that a Jonas Brothers song? That was produced by Timberland.
Starting point is 00:50:54 It was produced by Timberland and Timberlake. It was one of their first joint projects. It was Timberland and Timberlake. Yeah, they worked together on all it was one of their first joint projects. It was Timberland, Timberlake. Yeah. They worked together on all their
Starting point is 00:51:08 vest jams. That was during the renaissance of Timberland. Yeah, yeah. Do you think Furtado? Yeah. That's true. That's all. So anyways,
Starting point is 00:51:24 I don't know. It's just weird. It's all. So anyways, I don't know. It's just weird. It's weird. It feels, do you know what it feels un-Canadian? To have a prime minister in GQ. It's kind of what his dad was like, was Mr. Cool Guy, like hanging out with the stone. But he was Mr. Cool Guy. He was never Mr. Hunk. Yeah, he wasn't a hunk, but he was like a sex symbol.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Yeah, but it was all attitude. It was all you know, he was a cool guy. He wasn't a sexy lover man. Yeah, he was sexy. He did all of his defense by intimidation. So anyways, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:01 That's happening. I can't wait for that tide to roll out. We don't have to have that happening anymore. What do you think they would say about each of us if we were a world leader? Oh. Like in this honeymoon period. They would say, for me, most incompetent prime minister yet. Even before you took office? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:20 How did he get into office, they would say. Brian? Yeah. Fright frighteningly unqualified. Dave? He seems polite. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He seems like a nice guy. Yeah, I mean, he'll probably hide in his office a lot.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Yeah, he's going to be a real office prime minister. But, like, just, just just like, on Tumblr. He's not doing any legislating. At like the G, you know, the G7 summit or whatever,
Starting point is 00:52:52 in the picture of all the leaders, you're just a telephone that you phoned in. Oh, no, well, no, I'll be, I'll be on,
Starting point is 00:52:58 I'll be playing with my phone. Like, there'll be people getting down to brass tacks and I'll just be like, uh, hearting people's
Starting point is 00:53:04 instas. Yeah. I hearting people's Instas. Yeah. I just heartened some Instas. Uh, so there's that. And then, uh, this other thing happened this week and I just thought it was so much fun was a friend of mine. Um, we were talking about a mutual friend that we have. friend that we have and uh and my friend was saying like he was really getting tired of this person's uh facebook posts that they were like multiple times a day basically like every time he opened up facebook that was his feed would be six posts from this person all kind of selfie based. And, uh, and this, like my friend was,
Starting point is 00:53:46 he was just like in such, uh, couldn't, he was like, I will like, I'm friends with this person. I want to support this person, but I just can't stand the number of posts.
Starting point is 00:53:55 And I was like, Oh, you should just unfollow them. And they were like, what? And they had no, they had not heard of unfollowing. What?
Starting point is 00:54:03 And, uh, and then it was like, it was like Christmas in July. Oh, he was unfollowing everyone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was just like, and this person wears shirts without sleeves and always posts pictures of that. And this person's always talking about how much weight they lost. Did you say it was like Christmas in July?
Starting point is 00:54:21 Absolutely. It's December. Yeah. But it's not horrible like Christmas in December. It's like Christmas in July. Absolutely. It's December. Yeah. But it's not horrible like Christmas in December. It's like Christmas in July. It's exciting. Graham's anti-Christmas. I've had enough.

Starting point is 01:00:45 with like some awful phrase captioned over top of it like one of those memes but the quality is so poorly because it's been saved and like redone so many times and it'll be like uh bros that lived weights posted this and shared by bros that also eat chicken and then like shared by your friend they're always so bad. But then those are the, I stopped unfollowing all. I started unfollowing all those people when all the Trump stuff came in and refugee stuff.

A couch is like a fold-out couch or just the couch couch? Just the couch couch. The couch couch is more comfortable than the fold-out. Yeah. Fold-out is, unless it's like a really high-end couch. Or if you need, like, you got to sleep two people on it, then a fold-out is perfect.
Starting point is 01:06:19 I have slept, in the past, I slept two people on a couch. We took all the cushions out. It wasn't comfortable, but we did it. And you know why we did it? Because of hope and dreams and pride. You took all the cushions out? You should have just taken the back cushions off. No, we took all the cushions out.

Starting point is 01:09:00 X- X-N. N. T-R-I-K. Something trick. Christian trick was all I could make out of it. Christian trick. Like X-N, like X-mas is Christmas, so X-N is Christian.
Starting point is 01:09:15 And X-tina is Christina Aguilera. Oh. Oh, yeah. But I don't know the greatest trick that Christian ever pulled was convincing the world. That Christina Aguilera didn't exist. Oh, man. I used to think she didn't exist. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:29 Up until like 1998. And then I was convinced she existed. Yeah, yeah. She was like a genie in a bottle. When that dirty video came out, we all lost our virginities. As a culture. Yeah. I had lost mine 15 years earlier when I was 3
Starting point is 01:09:45 yeah but that's only because you wrote a fence and you broke your that's true your spyman in a man called a spyman
Starting point is 01:09:53 spyman yeah I didn't make it up a spy a simple spyman was a spyman a spyman that's what I broke

Starting point is 01:10:19 Yeah, well, we were in the Cherry Pop It Daddies. Yeah, that's true. But then we were kicked out for being too swinging. So I went and joined the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Yeah, and I joined the Zoot Suit Riots.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Wait, was that the Cherry Poppin' Daddies? Yeah. Who were the other ones? I don't know. Those are the ones I remember. No, there was a third. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

Starting point is 01:11:00 stuffers real good but why the space between X and and trick maybe maybe eccentric was taken yeah or good on bumper stuffers. Real good. But why the space between XN and Trick? Maybe XN Trick was taken. Yeah, or he's being real eccentric. Oh boy, I do not like this guy. If his name was Dave, I'd be like, Dave.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Ryan? Hit it. Okay, so these were two hipsters, this was over a year ago. These were two hipster girls on the number four bus, and they got off at the Waldorf. But yeah, one was wearing like all Carhartts, looked like she was going to a longshoreman meeting, but it was like a young 18-year-old girl.
Starting point is 01:11:39 And they're talking, and what I overheard was... Wait, wait, wait. This is why hipster is not a helpful descriptor because you could picture a guy in suspenders I used it for the lack of a better word
Starting point is 01:11:55 it changes from region to region Carhartt is like canvas work wear I was going to say a very main street-y look like, uh, with the folded toque and then, you know,
Starting point is 01:12:07 the, like what Aldius Huxley would be proud of, like buckles everywhere, not a zipper on anyone. Which one's he? The brave new world. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:16 He hated zippers. Yeah. He was a buckle man. Oh boy. Well, he's going to hate the swing band. Squirrel nut buckles. Um, um yeah i guess just two cool fashionable young girls wearing brown colors okay okay uh and then one said she was like yeah apparently brad hasn't
Starting point is 01:12:38 told his daddy he's gonna be a rapper yet uh the key is to never tell your dad until he finds out. And the other girl just goes, oh no. That is like, you do hope your dad finds out when you're on the cover of King magazine. Yeah. Like, oh man. Like, oh boy.
Starting point is 01:13:02 Like for sure, we're talking about a white rapper here oh definitely and like so say you're big brad voodoo daddy that's my rap name like if you're if you're a parent there's very i think there's very very few things that would make you notorious brad i think there's very few things that would make you notuffbrady Notorious B-R-A-D I think there's very few things that make you not love your kid
Starting point is 01:13:28 finding out there's serial killers one for sure where you're like boo boy I still love him but I'm
Starting point is 01:13:35 disowning him and finding out that your son is a white rapper I think it's pretty difficult
Starting point is 01:13:41 what's worse white rapper or white dreadlocks oh boy if you were Vanilla Ice circa 2002 then you would have both on your hands I think it's pretty difficult to go through. What's worse, white rapper or white dreadlocks? Oh, boy. If you were Vanilla Ice circa 2002, then you would have both on your hands. Whoever Vanilla Ice is now. You'd have bleach on your hands.
Starting point is 01:13:53 You all have bleach on your hands. It was a fun show. Yeah, I don't know, man. I think probably finding out. Because dreadlocks, you could still have a son who has white dreadlocks, but is a productive member of society. Sure. Owns a sprout business.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Yeah, exactly. Holds a clipboard on the street and asks people to sign a petition. Yeah. But Brad the Rapper. Brad the Rapper? Move over, Chance. Check out my SoundCloud. I'm Brad the Rapper move over Chance check out my tone cloud I'm Brad the Rapper oh boy

Starting point is 01:14:39 breed of older guy on the bus I'm sure you've seen them that clearly want you to know this guy knows what've seen them. That clearly want you to know. This guy knows what I'm talking about. They clearly want you to know
Starting point is 01:14:49 that when they're not taking the bus, they're totally a motorcycle guy. Oh. Just so you're not under any misconceptions, when it's not raining out, I am the worst person on earth revving my motorcycle. Roomba. I drive a Roomba.
Starting point is 01:15:08 Takes forever to get to work. It's tidy. So this guy, like a Harley Davidson jacket, a fucking motorcycle rings, motorcycle boots, hat that had a picture of a motorcycle on it. Motorcycle toupee motorcycle tee
Starting point is 01:15:27 reading motorcycle weekly so he comes on sits down is the man spreadingest douche bag you've ever seen like legs

Starting point is 01:15:50 in the aisle blocking people's ability to even get around him. So he's just the worst bag of shit. And then his phone rings and he's talking on the phone. He's in an automatic argument with whoever it is. Whoever's on the other line. Right away he's in an argument argument with whoever it is, whoever's on the other line.
Starting point is 01:16:05 Right away, he's in an argument and hangs up on them. And he's also got the phone ring that's like a, that one. Oh, like an old timey klaxon? Yeah. I thought it was going to be motorcycl-y. No, no, that's what was so funny about it. I thought they were making a female sex noise.
Starting point is 01:16:24 Yeah. Oh, my Simon. My fish taco. And then, so the person calls back and he answers and he's like, I'm so mad right now. I'm so mad right now. You made me swear on the bus. They have that sign that says no swearing. I'm trying to be respectful in my motorcycle off season.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Oh, yeah. Oh, that guy's so cool what would a no swearing sign be? a bunch of like hashtag and at symbol it would be a picture of the jerky boys
Starting point is 01:16:51 with a line through it now do you have another overheard? yeah final also

Starting point is 01:17:09 Oh, yeah. I know. I know. I just like to know that. It's going to mean a lot. Yeah. I don't have much going for me. So, yeah, this is a deep, deep cut.
Starting point is 01:17:22 This is in a football locker room. And it was very. Years ago? Yeah. This is like. Or you still go back and hang out in the locker room. Yeah. Yeah. They say, uh, get me if I ever see you here again.

So you're in the locker room. Yeah, I was kind of sitting away from this, but there's a nice, friendly, obviously very respectful discussion
Starting point is 01:18:01 of whether people on the team would or would not have sex with Rihanna. Answer across the board, would. No, I would. Look at her forehead. Yeah, well, there was obviously some weird, and then there was some racial. The black teammates were very upset at the white teammates that said no and wanted to find out the reasons. And there is this whole thing. said at the white teammates that said no and wanted to find out the reasons and there is this whole thing but then my buddy comes out of the shower uh and uh he's wearing a towel just like looking
Starting point is 01:18:31 like a dude just like comes up and he's like bro you wouldn't sleep with rihanna she's so big right now yeah she's blowing up yeah what you gonna do for your Q factor? This is 2009, 2010, I think. She was big, in fact, big right now. Oh, yeah. There was seven years, she released an album, seven years and seven albums. Seven albums in seven years. And then she stopped. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:19:08 Sex in the air, you know that I love the smell of it. Whips and chains may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me. Do you think, I was just thinking, do you think Chance the Rapper is... You mean Brad the Rapper? No, no. Chance the Rapper gets the same kind of like, ugh, I can't believe he calls himself that as Cedric the Entertainer does. Does Cedric the Entertainer get that?
Starting point is 01:19:34 I think for most people who consider themselves entertainers, he's like, no, I'm the entertainer. I think most people are like, why didn't I think of that? Yeah. I don't think so. think so yeah why didn't i call myself the entertainer well there was a rapper yeah it's chance the right it's not chance the rapper like i think more just like but it's isn't it should be chance a rapper yeah it's not but it is it's chance of the rap oh you think cedric the entertainer is like cedric the entertainer. He's just like, hmm, all these other entertainers. Yeah, that's how I've always read it.
Starting point is 01:20:09 No, he's like the top entertainer. No, he's not differentiating himself from entertainers. He's differentiating himself from Cedrics. Oh, I never thought about it that way. There's a bunch of different Cedrics. Yeah, there's Cedric the Plumber, Cedric the bricksmith. I lost jobs. I couldn't think of
Starting point is 01:20:29 a second job. I might be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it. Now, we also have overheards sent in from people around the world. If you want to send
Starting point is 01:20:43 one in to us, you can send it in to spy at maximumfun.org. And this first one comes from Jody in, I don't know where from. I don't know where from. Jody what letter? R. Oh.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Jody R. I was going through my art that I drew when I was a teenager. And so this is an overseen. And I found one drawing that my sister had left a message for me on the back of. She's attached a photo as evidence. But in the case, it doesn't come through. It says, and it's just written in kind of scrawly kid writing, poo smells of dead.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Who wants a poo beverage? Not me. Thanks for the note i thought it was gonna be like a phone call that was the note uh yeah i left you a note okay what is it come on read it yeah read it out loud for the whole family here um so yeah i don't know that seems seems like the kind of note i would leave on the back of art if i had the chance with a rapper one time i this is chance the rapper as a as a younger sibling uh one time i uh wrote on something of my brother's and it was the dumbest like we had all gotten back from dinner one night at a restaurant, and I came in.
Starting point is 01:22:07 I immediately grabbed a ruler, found a piece of paper, which was his entire assignment for school, and meant to just trace the outline of the ruler, but didn't do a very good job. And so the one side, I missed the edge, and it was just a big loop. But three sides of the ruler were covered. And then my brother was like... And the ruler had a little tiny
Starting point is 01:22:30 hole in it and I filled that in and it ended up looking like a whale. And everyone was like, what is this? Why did you do this? What's the matter with you? I have to hand this in. That was the funniest thing you could do to a friend that had to hand something in was draw a penis on the assignment. Because there was a lot of handwritten assignments still.
Starting point is 01:22:53 But it wasn't on the side of it. It was in the middle of the page. The size of a ruler. A foot long. Why did you do that? I do not know. It was completely thoughtless. Like, I was eight and he was 16 and it was like serious school stuff.
Starting point is 01:23:12 There's a lot. I think there's a lot of crazy shit that you do with your kid. There's no thought process. What were you thinking? I wasn't. I think two hours a day, maybe. I was carving into our family computer desk, and I was like, uh-oh, this is a real bad idea.
Starting point is 01:23:29 And then to throw my parents off the scent, I just started carving my sister's name. So they'd be like, oh, look who did it. Taffy. What's her name? Taffy. Oh, okay. Wow. So you, how do you account for this, Taffy. What's your name? Taffy. Okay. Wow.
Starting point is 01:23:46 So you... How do you account for this, Taffy? You clearly did it. That was the perfect crime. Because when Ryan does this, he cites his name. We see it all over the bathroom. He's carving the bathroom wall. Mom's a slut Ryan For a good time call our house number

I bet you could get your hands on plutonium easier than a DeLorean. Mm-hmm. Yeah. In this day and age, you can buy it at any corner store.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Yeah, that's true. I like the idea of seeing Back to the Future with an orchestra, and they even play, like, Johnny B. Goode and put the power of the... Oh, yeah. Oh, I bet they would. Like orchestral versions of it? Why not? You're there anyways.

As if that wasn't gold enough, the waiter replies with, you sly dog. Pretty cute, right? Kid with a business card. And the waiter's already got his tip. He doesn't need to engage with the kid.

Starting point is 01:28:32 It's Mike from Chicago. I've got an overheard for all y'all. I'm walking past a primary school and there are a bunch of kids who are standing around a bike with a flat tire. The guy who owns the bike says, I can't afford air, dude. And his friend then points out his arms and replies, there's air all around us. Love the show. You're made of air.
Starting point is 01:28:56 You're made of air. Wow. Yeah, air is free, isn't it? I like that he had the authentic Chicago accent of all Chicagoans. Yeah, he has a Chicago accent. He loves Philly cheese steaks. Ditchish pizza. Mike Ditka.
Starting point is 01:29:14 What accent are you doing? I'm from Australia, da bears. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Michael Jordan is the finest of the basketballs. Da bears. Da koala bears. This guy nailed it.
Starting point is 01:29:30 Nailed it. Here's your next overheard. Hi, this is Charlie in Brooklyn. I was walking around a major shopping area of downtown Manhattan today, and I overheard a lady with two of her friends. She said, there's so many things that I would like to have, and I just, I really love things.
Starting point is 01:29:52 And one of her friends said, you're materialistic. And there was a long pause while she was thinking. And then she said, that doesn't mean that I can't, doesn't mean I don't, I shouldn't be talking to you guys about this.
Starting point is 01:30:08 That's all. Thank you. Yeah. You called me on my thing. Yeah, well, I like things. Oh, like material things? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're materialistic. No, I like, I mean, you said
Starting point is 01:30:23 thing-oriented. Yeah, like I like stuff as well, I mean, you said thing oriented. Yeah, like I like stuff as well. I'm not just about the things. I'm also about, like, I just want to own the everything. I want to own.
Starting point is 01:30:32 I just want to own it. Yeah. Makes me feel good. Derived pleasure from that. But other. It's like, I like things more than people is my,
Starting point is 01:30:40 that's me. Do you know what would be a thing like, because I like going on like an eBay and stuff, and I like bidding on a thing, and I like winning, but I don't really want the thing. Yeah, I don't like winning.
Starting point is 01:30:52 I like bidding on a thing and seeing if the price goes up. I like getting a tiny charge of that. What about an app that was like eBay, but you're just bidding? You're just bidding. You're just trying to outbid somebody. Or it's something, not even bidding, it's like a gambling thing where
Starting point is 01:31:06 you get to guess what it's going to go for. Ooh, that's fun. That's really fun. A bidding thing where everyone that bids and doesn't have to buy the thing that doesn't exist gets a certain amount of money, but if you're the last guy that bids, then you have to pay that full amount.
Starting point is 01:31:22 Oh, yeah. It's like musical chairs. Yeah yeah of gambling and i like that it's kind of a bit of prices right yeah a bit of gambling it's a bit that's like bidding i don't know how or like it's you need an algorithm for like how much you bet versus how much you win if you don't have to buy that thing and then how much you bid is what you pay for it yeah and like you there's and the more you like. The person who bids the second most wins the most. Oh, yeah. So you're sort of encouraged to keep bidding
Starting point is 01:31:52 because otherwise you can just walk away after one bid. Yeah, the rush of that would be exhilarating. That's what I mean. It's like going on eBay and outbidding somebody and waiting, going right down to the wire and sneaking in a bid at the last second. Lots of fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:07 And you have to have a thing. There's computer, like there's sniping services that you can use that you just say your maximum bid and it will bid that for you at the last minute. That's no fun. It's sort of fun. And if you are worried about like buyer's remorse. Yeah, I guess. Because I sometimes get that where I bid on something and then I forget about it.
Starting point is 01:32:27 And then like four days later, I'm like, oh no, I'm going to win that. Yeah, I'm going to win that tour of that haunted castle. Here is your final overheard of... Oh no, Dave's... Laryngitis. He's dying. He's got an arrow through his chest.
Starting point is 01:32:44 Oh no! Everyone's a suspect. Hello, Dave and Graham and maybe possibly a guest. This is Alicia in Chicago. I'm calling it an overheard. I was in the grocery store
Starting point is 01:32:58 today and it's a few days before Thanksgiving so a lot of people were buying turkeys. And I was standing by these big racks full of turkeys, and I heard someone say to their friend, very sincerely, said, So turkey, turkey's just a big chicken, right? Bye. Timing is everything on that call.
Starting point is 01:33:33 Really let the moment land. Yeah, I guess. I mean, I don't know enough about chickens. Yeah. Like, let alone turkeys. But I know that there's no such thing as turkey fights is whereas cockfights are when someone you don't know there's no such thing no absolutely you think i haven't googled this you think i haven't gone to mexico looking for more extreme animal fights
Starting point is 01:33:57 yeah on thanksgiving they do yeah one gets pardoned he doesn't have to fight. And then the rest have to fight. To what? Stay out of jail? Turkey jail? Which is always a death sentence. There's nobody doing life in turkey jail. Maybe in some states. In some states. If you're too much of a chicken, is that you're such a big chicken, people call you a turkey?
Starting point is 01:34:21 Yeah, but they're both insults. Nobody being called a chicken or a turkey both insults. What other birds are insults? Crow. Ostrich. Ostrich. Pigeon. Pigeon. The crow. Eagle. Bald eagle. If I call you bald, if I call you an eagle and you're going bald, it's assumed that
Starting point is 01:34:38 it's making fun of your baldness. But if I call you the crow, it's because you're a goth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you came back from the dead. Those are the two options. You're pulling a real the crow a goth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the crow over here. Or you came back from the dead. Those are the two options. You're pulling a real the crow. Magpie. Yeah. Bird brain in general.
Starting point is 01:34:52 Yeah, bird brain over here. Road runner, road runner. Those are all of them, I think. Yeah, I think there's six birds. Yeah. Oh, don't be such a penguin. Yeah. But that's usually the Batman character.
Starting point is 01:35:05 You dodo head. Oh, dodo, yeah. Dodo's, yeah, dodo's bad. Owls are wise. But you wouldn't call someone, he's a real owl. Unless he handed you a diploma and he was wearing one of those mortarboard hats. Yeah, sucking on a Tootsie Roll pop. Yeah, yeah, then you'd be like, thank you, Professor Owl.
Starting point is 01:35:27 School was a real hoot. We're wrapping the year up in style. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. What is resolutions? Quick resolutions before we move on with our lives. I'm going to try to watch more Netflix. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I've often going to try to watch more Netflix. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I've often said you don't watch enough Netflix.
Starting point is 01:35:48 Yeah. It's sort of like that eBay thing. I get a charge out of browsing. I get a charge out of adding something to my list of things to watch. Then I walk away. Yeah, yeah. No, that's the most fun, picking things out. It's the same with the grocery store.
Starting point is 01:36:03 Sometimes I'll just make a basket, sometimes I'll just you know make a basket and I'll just leave it there with a note that says this is an awesome basket yeah I picked out some real good it's a gift basket yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:36:12 chocolates melons yeah chocolates melons peaches all your erotic fruits
Starting point is 01:36:20 yeah oysters can of can of smoked oysters. Steamed. Well, smoking an oyster doesn't make any more sense than steaming an oyster. No, I know, but you can buy smoked oysters, but buying a thing of steamed oysters. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:36:36 They'd be like, eat these immediately. Don't take them home. What is a smoked oyster? Have you seen it? It's those things that come in the tin. They're real slimy. They're really, really gross. Great with crackers. I've in the tin. They're real slimy. They're like really, really gross.
Starting point is 01:36:45 Great with crackers. I've had regular oysters. Great with crackers? Yeah. All right. All your white friends. No, don't be sorry. I like regular oysters.

Starting point is 01:37:04 extravagance. Who's paying? Yeah, there's these on the menu. That'll be a fun extravagance. Who's paying? Yeah, yeah. Are we all trying to be horny later? Okay, then I'll order the oysters. Now, Ryan, this brings us to the end of this episode. This is it. The end, man.
