Hi, he's Dave Shumka and he's Graham Clark and together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself.
Woo!
Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 435 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who's keeping his eye on the Euro Cup, Mr. Dave Schumacher.
I think it'll probably be over by the time this episode is out.
Yeah, but you'll still keep your eye on it.
Oh yeah, well just in case it gets stolen.
Yeah, somebody's got to keep their eye on it.
I think the World Cup was stolen.
Is that the one that looks like a bunch of goblins reaching up over the earth?
That's what it is now.
But the original one was like this winged goddess of soccer.
Of soccer.
And I think it was snatched up by maybe Carmen Sandiego.
It was the
loot, I know for sure. I can't
verify the warrant or the crook.
Oh, what was...
Oh boy. That show
really comes back to me in little
drips and drabs. I don't really remember.
I remember the map.
I remember... You remember Rockapella.
I remember the lady said gumshoe.
Uh-huh.
But I don't remember.
It was a good, like, feminist show.
Yeah.
The chief.
The chief.
Like, the woman in charge on the good side and the person in charge on the bad side, both women.
Sometimes that actress who would play the chief shows up on, like, Law and Order or kind of a drama.
And she calls Richard Belzer gumshoots.
It's in her contract.
And our guest today, returning guest to the podcast, very funny comedian.
If you are anywhere around Montreal, he will be playing this year at the Just for Laughs Festival.
Mr. Chris Locke is our guest.
Hi, thanks for having me.
I love everything.
Well, I mean, this is a great way to start.
Yeah.
Case closed.
Next.
Thanks for coming on the podcast.
My pleasure.
It's really, you guys are the best.
No, you're the best.
Let's get to know us.
Get to know us.
I just riff compliments.
You see that?
Yeah.
I was going to say.
You didn't have those planned.
No.
You're just like,
Chris Best.
Yeah.
I have a prepared speech of compliment.
Oh, do you?
Oh, I can't.
I can't find it.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Now I got a riff.
Chris, you're very much
a person for me.
Yeah, right.
So since you were last here, you are now a proud father.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have a tiny little baby.
And is it?
This baby is done.
You got to see. You gotta see.
It's ridiculous.
Is this something that you thought you would be at any point?
Did you plan on being, like, was being a dad in the ultimate plan?
Or did things change over time?
Oh, man.
I just go with the flow.
I live in the moment.
Oh, yeah.
You were riffing, and nine months later.
Yeah, I was riffing uh with my wife
one summer evening after some wine and uh yeah it was yeah i don't know like maybe i'd think
about it but really i i hate never have any foresight i'm bad at planning for the future so
um it was very nice that my wife and I
obviously when we got together we were just madly
in love and thought we would have a magical life
anyways
this is fascinating
so then it just we just went all
in all the ways you can I guess
yeah you went you bet it all on
red
it's true she's a redhead
Kathleen Phillips.
Check her on Mr. D.
Yeah, that's right.
Splits her time
between Toronto and
Halifax.
Do you go to Halifax a lot?
I go to Halifax
on Monday now
to be with her
and my baby
while she acts.
Awesome!
Yeah.
Because I always wondered
like...
There's a few episodes from last season and the season before, too,
where I actually play her husband on Mr. D.
Nice.
That was pretty fun.
How many flights has the baby taken?
This will be the first one on Monday.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I'm scared.
No, it's great.
Is it?
Yeah, we've taken a few.
How old is...
My baby is now almost two.
So 21 months.
Yeah, last time I was here, it was almost go time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what the doctors call it.
Countdown to go time.
If I was a doctor, it would be go time all the time.
If you were a doctor, would you come in with a catcher's mitt and be like,
no, I'm just kidding.
I'm not going to use this.
I'd probably come in with a sandwich and be like, where can I put this?
It's go time.
Sorry, I got mayonnaise on my fingers.
Yeah, I had the beef dip.
It's okay.
I put it on these gloves before I ate it.
So you won't get any baby on my hands.
But when you were flying with your baby it was like i love this no okay
but well when they're that young it's like what can you do like we and it's just a pretty short
flight right three or four hours three hours maybe oh toronto and alfax is two yeah that's
it'll be okay that's breezy and plus people are used to it like you you people used to complain about babies on
flights now it's just you know if you if you don't like it get your own goddamn plane yeah yeah you
know what's weird though is like the baby crying you're like oh come on keep it down or whatever
it bugs you a bit but the weird thing is as maybe even as a man like your own baby crying the biological impulse that it creates in
your bloodstream is insane it's literally heightened by 3 000 like yeah yeah remember
that like discovering that wait what does this mean tell them for the layman what are you talking
about i don't even know i'm sub layman i don't know how to explain it like no it's like yeah
your specific baby its screams are designed to basically raise
your blood pressure so you jump into action so for the first month of my baby being born i was
it's a magical moment everything's lovely but when it's crying sometimes you're like i'm going insane
that's very true and you're like that balcony is so high i love it. Everyone's going to see me all hurt and broken.
Like you lose your mind.
Oh, wow.
Was it difficult at the beginning?
Only like learning about that, but really, no, it's been very easy and lovely.
The difficulty was the baby loved my wife.
Just like worshipped her, wanted her all the time had no time for me
no that's huge you're like can i hold you and then it just starts screaming and then once the
boob comes it takes the boob in its mouth but then looks back sideways at you like yeah you piece of
shit more like this yeah like you ain't got no boobs man and you're like i do but if you suckle on my
breast my chest is so hairy it would just look like you know what would it look like i can't say
i cannot say um just like yeah okay so like hair is coming out of my baby's mouth yeah because when does that when does that change where you where you start communicating with your kid and be like i also am here it's
doesn't happen like it's not a light switch no just eventually grows yeah as far as i know
mine's still three months yeah and it basically is just like mom like mom needs some time alone yeah yeah that's
why i'm basically around before even two months we i started trying to do the bottle so i could
give her a break and that was really emotional when you can actually do everything with your
baby now that was nice well you still need the milk but like yeah you can't just i just went up to
my wife like excuse me lady can you fill this um yeah that that makes you feel good and that's
gonna be a fun thing to be able to go to set with the with the mom and the baby yeah but i don't
think i'm on mr d this year so the artsy guy in me is like damn it
Now I'm hanging around this cool fun show
No but that to me is
That's the best
It's all the hanging out and none of the
Like memorizing a line
It's all the craft services
I'm gonna eat all the gummy bears
Yeah it's all the catering
It's all the sitting around and like
Maybe there's a trailer
Possibly you could have a nap with your kid See this sounds great It's all the catering. It's all the sitting around and like, maybe there's a trailer?
Possibly you could have a nap with your kid. Oh yeah, there's a trailer.
See, this sounds great.
It's Halifax, man.
There's everything.
Trailers, gummy bears.
Lots of dirt.
That's the problem with going on set is there's always candy.
Yeah.
There's always candy just out in the open.
Yeah, I get candy blasted on set.
More so than ever.
M&M's, gummy worms.
Yeah, sure.
I'm glad you caught that.
I didn't riff that.
I didn't know I was going to say that.
If you said the wrong gummy thing, we would have got lettered.
Gummy misogynists.
No.
What?
No, Chris.
They're so delicious this guy riffs all the noises
um so no i'm glad they're gummy worms to be honest yeah yeah no but we all are. Any sour keys?
Any sour stuff?
Yeah, sour keys.
Sure.
Those are the thing, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
Sour keys, Coke bottles.
Sour locks.
There's no such thing.
Yes, there is.
Sour doors.
Sour doorknobs.
I thought you meant like salmon.
Like sour smoked salmon.
Do not eat sour locks
in Montreal. Maybe on
sour bagels.
Do they make sourdough bags?
Sourdough bags?
What is that?
I just love the idea
of sour keys going into a sour
lock though with a sour handle.
It's like all of a sudden it's a sour house
and there you go
I'm sure at
whatever Candy Con
they probably have a full
little sour door thing
when I teach my baby
Hansel and Gretel
the whole house
is going to be
a Sour King house
when I teach my baby
Hansel and Gretel
every kid has to learn
sometime
turn your chair around sit backwards on your chair
let me give you the 411 on the h and g oh yeah are you uh are you do you read to the child
or is that has that started or um kathleen does that but i'm sort of like give me what are you
doing she's too young.
I think I talk to her.
I'll have conversations with her.
At least she gets the idea.
It's the same thing, I guess, right now.
As long as the comfort of her hearing your voice and I don't know.
Right.
Yeah.
Are you out of your mind with no sleep?
Are you in that phase?
Yeah.
I love sleeping so much and
and i never sleep and it's uh it's really brutal yeah someday you'll get back there like i've
hallucinated at a show what what did you hallucinate i looked down i literally looked down at my feet
and thought i had three feet for a sec and then they were like please welcome chris lock and i
was like well i have to make sure all feet get on the stage, I guess.
Because you just roll with everything.
Because you're so, that was like the height of it, for sure.
When you saw that you had three feet.
Yeah, I was like, okay.
You're like, I know for a fact.
Yeah.
I have two or four feet.
I'm tired.
I'm tired.
Do you hallucinate at all?
No, I like, I don't.
No, I'm cool.
No, but I was thinking of like, because I get up early anyway, so I enjoy it.
And Abby sleeps in, so I enjoy like two or three hours we have alone, me and the baby.
But I just remember other dads being like, oh, you have no idea.
That's sort of like, you'll be missing sleep all right.
Like, no, I know what sleep is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know the effects of missing sleep.
No, you have no idea.
Yeah.
That's crazy, though, because I've had that.
Maybe when I was in film school, I stayed up for maybe two days straight
kind of thing, and i was seeing i was
definitely seeing things and hearing things that weren't there i remember in college there was uh
people had found out that if you commit a crime after not sleeping for 72 hours you can uh plead
temporary insanity really oh and then these two guys tried to do it not to commit a crime
just to try to stay up.
But they also did a shot every hour.
Whoa.
That's.
Which is like, I guess just to keep yourself entertained.
Yeah.
Wow.
72 hours.
That would ruin your brain.
But then like any crime or just like.
Oh.
Could you shoplift and be like, I'm crazy.
Like, I haven't slept in days.
No, no.
You can only do murder.
Okay.
All right.
Well, fair enough. Shoplifting, you can only do murder. Okay, all right. Well, fair enough.
Shoplifting, you'll get the full fourth of the law.
Is that an expression?
You murdered this man.
I was so tired.
All right, fine.
Yeah.
Well, go get some rest.
Yeah, get some rest and don't worry, the man was a loser.
Am I saying too many controversial things?
No.
What about this fictional man that we just made up?
That, and I felt bad that I said,
I'd try sour misogynist.
That's also a fictional thing?
Yeah.
But I'm so scared these days because I said it
as in it's the worst thing I could think of.
Yeah, yeah.
As ironically.
Yeah, I know.
But then I'm so scared these days
that people are going to kill me for saying something. Fuck yeah don't oh my god that's worse than okay good
um so uh i'm so scared are you really yeah 24 7 what has has anything happened where
where you said something and it's come back to... No, everyone loves me.
They think I'm such a nice guy, but I'm still scared all the time.
It's the dumbest thing.
Everyone loves me.
Like, well, like my wife does.
You know the show, Everybody Loves Chris.
Oh, yeah.
Well, everyone hates Chris.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Oh, no.
Ah, shit.
Everyone hates Chris.
Oh, wait, no, that's the movie She Hates Me.
Do you remember that?
I remember the football player, he hate me. Do you remember that? I remember the football player.
He hate me.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
That's his last name.
Or is that his full name?
It was like it was in the XFL, which was the football league that the WWE started.
Yeah.
And on the back of his jersey, it just said he hate me.
And so he just chose to put it on.
Yeah.
It was wrestle times.
Yeah. So he just chose to put it on. Yeah, it was wrestle times. Yeah, I don't understand why the XFL didn't catch.
Because it seems like it had everything that the people who are obsessed with football would love.
It seems like it's...
What were the different rules?
Well, more than anything, it had crazy camera shots that the NFL...
Because the NFL still had very standard kind of,
and XFL had these like swooping crane shots,
cameras suspended on wires,
helmet cams.
The NFL is all.
And they would have all the,
uh,
players had,
uh,
microphones.
So they could like tune into players like swearing.
Look out.
He hates me.
Wait, are you saying he hates you or are you saying my name?
I don't hate you.
He hate me. That's he hate me.
I love everyone, but he hate me.
No, I don't know if everyone loves me, but I think everyone, it seems like everyone
thinks I'm nice.
Yeah.
I'd say people love you.
But I have a hardcore, I don't know what, ingrained paranoia.
But are there...
People think I should go to therapy all the time and I don't.
And I try to be zen and I can't.
So...
Wait.
I try to be zen and I can't.
It's just everything's zen?
I don't think so what people say
that you should go
talk to somebody
because you
are paranoid
yeah yeah
but I don't think
I'm like a paranoid
schizophrenic
it's not that
to the maximum
no but like
you're like
you're worried
but I'm nervous
all the time
I've talked to you
before
yeah absolutely
but you're nervous
about
you're not
I like being honest about this right now but you're not nervous about things that are like you're nervous about you're not I like being honest about this right now
but you're not nervous about things that are
like you're not like oh do you think that it's
bad that I
left my baby in a hot car
it's not that kind of thing it's like
a werewolf
or you're like is it bad that I said sour
misogynist instead of
yeah because I don't want to offend anyone
so you're worried about good don't want to offend anyone yeah you're worried about
good things
you're not worried about
but I'm also like
worried about
my life
like I think a giant
will grab me one day
and put me in his mouth
you think a giant
will grab you
and put you in his mouth
I like how
you
how condescending
you think a giant

Weed and beer
It was literally like
Yeah

My parents wanted me to go

I was a ding dong of a kid
Okay
And
I didn't go to school a lot
I was Free spirit yeah that's why
when i talk i sound dumb you don't sound but uh but this is we did this podcast in the afternoon
i'd have way more confidence it's because i just woke up no no, no, I'm just joking. It's 1245.
Yeah, but I just partied.
And like,
it was really great.
And then I dropped out.
This isn't where you met your wife?
No, not at all. Okay.
I met Kathleen doing comedy in Toronto.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
She's really,
Kathleen Phillips,
amazing actor, writer, comedian.
Go check her out.
Yeah.
She was great on the show that only lasted for a season, unfortunately.
That was great.
That was fun, too.
Yeah.
Going to Winnipeg and stuff.
That was fun.
You've gotten to travel around.
The Winnipeg comedy scene is amazing.
Really good.
Oh, you can promote that, too.
I'm doing Odd Block in August.
Nice.
Oh, I'm doing that, as well.

I'll bring you some gummy keys.
Yeah, thanks.
I'll bring you some gummy houses.
You will not.
I'll just be back at home,
gummy-hating women.
Yay, I'm free.
You broke the spell.
I'm free.
You're worse.
Oh, look, there's a giant behind you.
You broke the spell.
I'm free.
You're worse.
Oh, look, there's a giant behind you.
No one taught you about Hansel and Gretel.
Let me teach you a real fable, child.
So what in the story of Jack and the Beanstalk?
Yeah, they're both losers.
That's the moral. Jack and the Beanstalk. He's the giant both losers. That's the moral. Who?
Jack and the beanstalk. He's a giant?
He's a giant, actually.
Yeah, well, what's the moral?
Is that as long as you...
Okay, let's break it down.
Do we know the story?
Don't believe in magic beans.
No, but you, yes, believe in magic beans.
Okay, so let's start at the beginning.
Jack, his family is destitute.
They send him with the cow to sell the cow.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot about that part.
That's right.
Instead of selling it for food, he sells it for these magic beans.
And then?
Everyone's like, Jack, you idiot.
Yeah.
So he plants them.
But they should be mad at themselves for leaving that.
They should have known he was an idiot.
Then he goes up into the clouds and finds a gold trophy.
No. No.
No.
Yeah.
Oh, right.
A gold ball.
Isn't it a...
It's a goose that lays golden eggs.
Oh, wicked.
Yeah.
Which is like never-ending gold.
Oh, awesome.
You can make that into so many different trophies.
Anyway, gold omelet.
Okay.
But the giant... But then the giant goes,, fee-fi-fo-fum.
What the hell, man?
What the hell, man?
What's up, dude?
Jack!
And then he tries to eat Jack.
He tries to kill him.
He's an intruder.
He's an Englishman.
Yeah, he says, I'll grind your bones to make my bread.
What would you do, honestly, if you saw a little man in your house?
I'd call an exterminator.
Yeah, that's fair.
I'd jump up on a chair.
I'd say, eek, a mouse man.
You're right.
This fairy tale is unreasonable.
Yeah, is he the only giant that lives in the sky, or do all giants live in the sky?
How has no one seen him before? Like, from the ground, if he's so fucking big. Yeah, that he the only giant that lives in the sky or do all giants live in the sky? How has no one seen him before?
Like from the ground if he's so fucking big.
Yeah, that's true.
Clouds are thick.
Not always.
Yeah, what about a sunny day?
Like where does the giant move with the weather?
Yeah.
Do you think the people that wrote these fables way back in the day were super dumb or super fun?
Or super full of cum.
Were they super young?
Okay, I get it now.
We can say things.
I think they were, I think, I don't know, because because that was probably whoever first came up with it
it was like
centuries ago
so
yeah
so probably
they still
that is one of
Jack and the Beanstalk
is one of Plato's dialogues
no
yes
what
yeah
I don't know
if I want to believe
this guy went to
university every year
I don't know enough
about Plato's dialogues
but but I know this isn't what no the whole I don't know if I want to believe this guy went to university for a year I don't know enough about Plato's Dialogues
but I know this isn't what it is
no the whole
you want to know the moral
yeah what's the moral
when Jack comes down and cuts the beanstalk
in half and then the giant
smashes his face
onto that huge rock
and then his bus open
and his brains go everywhere
and his eyes roll
down the street.
And probably roll over some houses.
Then Jack goes to his
sheltered mom, see, this is reality.
The world is
insane, mom.
So the moral is,
stop living your sheltered life, mom.
Here's a fucking golden egg, i'm gonna go move to the city
yeah you can stay in your house we are milk your cows but i'm gonna kill giants and buy a boat
yeah did they ever do uh did did they ever do a sequel Because like the giant probably had friends. Oh, yeah. Unless he was the only giant, in which case Jack's still the bad guy for killing the last of a species of giant.
Well, right now, like the.
Because he stole that golden goose.
I forget what the company is, but one of the big Hollywood companies are like remaking.
Probably still residual effect from the success of Lord of the Rings.
They're remaking those giant fairy tale movies.
Yeah, they did Jack the Giant Killer.
Yeah, what the hell is that?
I never saw it.
And they all look like so terrible.
I'd act in one for sure.
Give me a line.
What do you want to, who would you play?
I would play Jack's friend like,
man, I'm sorry I didn't know the giant was so close.
Yeah, I thought because I was looking at him in a car window mirror, he's closer than he appeared.
Yeah, everyone in Jack the Giant Killer has weird car mirrors on their shoulders.
No explanation.
Well, we hired Tim Burton and he just had this idea what happened
have uh now because you act is there ever been like is there a role in a movie that you would
love to play like do you guys act i've gone on auditions very bad your nature man thing was good
but i guess that's just your comic persona yeah yeah yeah uh what was he gonna well like i'm not
a real actor.
No, but.
I'm a comedian, too.
I don't know.
Like, I always thought it'd be cool to be a zombie in a zombie movie.
I played a zombie.
Really?
On a kid's show called My Babysitter's a Vampire.
Cool.
Yeah.
Were you, like, a friendly zombie?
No.
Really?
Yeah.
You were trying to eat the kid's brains?
Yeah, I ate the kid's brains.
And then I looked right at the camera and said, you're all going to fucking die.
And then blood came out of my mouth,
and then it said, the end.
I think.
I never watched the episode.
I did a few takes.
Yeah.
Have fun with it.
I riffed.
You never know what you're going to say.
So you got to play a zombie.
That's cool.
That's one of Graham's dreams.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What other dreams of graham have
you had yeah yeah i don't know well i don't know um i slept under a tree yeah really yeah how was
that um hard what are we talking about when graham did utopia to me his whole thing was to live in a
tree yeah like in one of those balls that are suspended.
They're like, I think it's a hotel.
And there's suites that are suspended up in the trees.
For people who don't know, Utopia to Me is your podcast.
Yeah, which you have to do.
We should do it right now.
Sometimes I forget.
I really, especially with the baby, I don't know how you stay on schedule.
I haven't done a podcast in, like, five weeks or something.
Dave didn't miss a beat.
I think we took out a week off?
No.
Not even.
Yeah.
But your podcast is, like, hardcore.
Like, you guys have been doing it forever.
Yeah.
It's an institution in Canada.
Mine is, like, a ding-dong in his pajamas being like, can you come over?
And then people are like, no.
And then I'm like, I forget.
Like it's not the same rigorous schedule.
Do you get people who, if you like, hey, when are you going to bring it back?
Like do people?
Yeah.
Well, I met, I did a show last night.
I rushed from the mix to do Ross' show at Little Mountain.
Oh, yeah.
Really great.
Jokes, please.
And a few non-comedian people in the audience came up and were talking about the podcast.
That was very nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's fun.
Maybe due to yours, guys' promo.
You guys are so kind so it's a great concept
it's you ask people what their idea of a utopia would be yeah and and thanks and like i've had
such huge guests on it and such great episodes that sometimes i it's hard for me to continue
because i'm like how do i top that like that was so yeah like so, like Scott Thompson is the last guest I had. And you've had Brent Butt.
And you've had Nathan Fielder.
Nathan was more like,
we were just,
I wanted to,
like we were just catching up.
Yeah.
Because we're friends.
And then,
so I kind of like,
some Utopian stuff was in it.
And it was really fun.
But it was an hour and a half of just chatting.
You guys go,
you have a long kind of relationship yeah we go way back
but then so that's why i kind of like half utopia on that one half like let's just hang because
i really wanted like for new fans of his which there's like a million of them right now obviously
uh if they find that to be like whoa and like see this whole other angle of nathan you know
because he's so is that is that like uh a crazy thing to witness that like this guy who is who is like just your bud is now like
it's uh mr hollywood yeah mr everybody knows who he is all of a sudden like that must be kind of a
strange it must be strange for him but is it yeah well stranger is it just like as far as i know he's
still totally the same guy yeah of course Who knows what he's hiding now?
They all go crazy in Hollywood.
But yeah, he's still the same guy.
Super funny, obviously.
But most of it is like me and my other comedy friends
like Aaron Eves and Tim Gilbert.
Oh, really funny.
We all came up.
We all used to work together all the time.
And so basically, we're just really proud of him. Right. yeah and it shows amazing so and it's totally nathan like he's
100 doing exactly who he is and what he wants to be so it's like really freaking cool yeah
inspiring yeah and his show is uh it's hilarious yeah like it's one of the few things on tv that's
like it's actually really yeah as funny as people say it is yeah you
yeah you it makes you for real laugh yeah yeah which is weird because like a lot of tv
kind of doesn't right like yeah you kind of do this chuckle like i acknowledge that as being comedy
yeah but he makes you go like yeah yeah which i love yeah it's weird, right? Because I feel like I used to think TV was really funny.
But I don't know that I've seen a show.
We were talking a couple weeks ago about the Cosby show and how it was the funniest show in the 80s.
Only Bill Cosby got to make jokes.
Yeah, he was the only funny one on the show.
Except for Rudy's fat kid friend.
We should have known he was psycho a long time ago but even
rudy's fat friend was him like bad like like exploiting his fatness on his knee yeah that's
right that was oh yeah i remember watching the scene later and being like you mean man
it was funny though peter peter yeah. You remember his name? Yes.
Wow.
Do you remember?
This is always so fun.
What the name of the designer that Theo wanted a sweater from.
And then his sister made him a sweater and one sleeve was too short.
Was it a sweater or a shirt?
It was a shirt.
A silk shirt.
Yes.
Everyone wore silk clothes on that show.
Do you remember the name of the designer?
I don't know why.
I would just be taking a guess. I only know it because graham mentions it every three episodes so it's 80s
yeah but it's not a real guy it was like a guy they made up oh then no way there's no way gordon
guttrell i need a gordon guttrell but that was maybe one of the first episodes yeah but i don't
know why that episode and the episode where which this was one of the things that was big in the 80s and maybe in the 90s was teaching a friend or family member.
Family matters.
Family star.
I'm going to teach my child family matters and Hansel and Gretel.
So family matters started out being a show about a family and ended up being a show about a time traveling nerd and his friend.
His cool friend.
But like a whole group of people, Saved by the Bell did this a lot, where we'd teach him a lesson by all doing something.
Oh, yeah.
So there was an episode where-
So he did that to Zach all the time.
Oh, boy.
And you know what?
Never learned a lesson.
Never learned a lesson.
By the fact that I was brainwashing everyone into thinking I was a blonde Tom Cruise.
But there was an episode where Theo didn't want to get a job or something.
So then Bill Cosby like sets up the house like it's a hotel.
And the mom is playing like. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know what I'm talking about? That's the one I remember the most. That it's a hotel and the mom is playing like,
yeah.
Yeah.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
That's the one I remember the most.
That's the one I remember.
When they're like,
hi,
our house is now the real world,
Theo.
Yeah.
He's like,
damn it.
Was that also the first episode?
Maybe.
He's like,
I can,
I can live on bologna and cereal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Rudy is,
she's dressed up like a,
like a lawyer.
She comes down With a briefcase
I remember that episode
And the one where they
Sing the Ray Charles song
On the stairs
Oh yeah
Night and day
Baby
I remember the one where
Did Tio get an earring
And Cliff is trying to like
Sit on the bed with him
And look
And they're doing
The same movements
Just acting casual
Oh man
I do remember
More episodes than I thought Oh I also remember The episode where They're all the same movements, just acting casual. Oh, man. I do remember more episodes than I thought.
Oh, I also remember the episode where they're all dancing at the beginning.
But a different song every season.
But then the more popular it got, the more fancy they danced.
Like, now we're dancing at a ball.
You know?
Like, what the hell?
That is true.
It's true.
The more money they made, more the yeah the intro is like
is that still a thing
where you're like
ooh new intro
on a TV show
uh
yeah I guess like
friends would update
theirs every season
uh huh
they would recut
the opening
I was gonna say
the Simpsons couch gag
always changes
but like
I almost
in my head
called the show
Starbucks
I almost called
the Simpsons
Starbucks
what the hell's that the Starbucks one changes all the time called the show Starbucks. I almost called the Simpsons Starbucks.
What the hell's that, babe?
The Starbucks one changes all the time.
Your brain's just grabbing as close as it can. Was it Denise that made him the shirt that was too long?
Yeah.
So, Denise, was Denise the one that did the college show, too?
No, that was...
You can't believe what's happening or whatever it's called?
I can't believe life is here?
Dwayne Wayne's brain drain?
Dwayniac?
What was it called?
A different world?
You can't believe this is happening.
I like Dwayne Wayne's brain drain.
Well, he drained everyone's brain for sure.
He needed so much attention on that show.
No, that wasn't Denise.
It was the one that Lisa Bonet played?
She was Denise.
Oh, the other one was Vanessa.
Wasn't the older one Sandra?
Sandra.
Why did they even have Sandra on the show?
In the first episode, they're like, you're too old now.
Good news is you booked a pilot and you've been written out of it.
In the pilot, she's like, I'm married and I'm leaving. So sandra the one that was married to alvin eldon eldon that's nice and
he was lenny's denny's so he uh and he was kind of a nerd like or he was a you a couple episodes
ago you described him as a drip yeah he was a drip oh that's huge yeah that's for sure what he was
and but you're right why would that character even exist yeah because i remember watching the
show and being like okay i'm learning and i was just a kid um in the 80s what the hell and then
i was like trying to learn all the characters i'm like this one this one this one but then i remember
when it got to the old one it's like i don't think i should try and care about this one this one but then i remember when it got to the old one it's like i don't think i should try and care about this one that was they were always being like i'm just visiting for a sec dad
yeah that was the same on family matters with uh aunt rachel oh because it was a family and a
grandmother and then this aunt and her weird well none of them mattered after Urkel showed up. That's true. Family, none of them mattered.
Urks.
I just wanted to point out...
The girl went upstairs, vanished from the show
forever. I really wanted to point out
a controversial
irony, though, about
because Denise got
fired from Another World because she
made the movie angel
heart where she has a nude sex scene and it was bill cosby's decision because it didn't go with
his brand right that's insane i don't need to illustrate well the uh you know but he's so
yeah well but he's so morally superior to us on tv like what the Like, what the hell? No, to this day, as far as I know,
I don't read the...
The drags.
I don't read...
I just watch soccer at 6 a.m.
Yeah, I watch soccer at 6 a.m.
And followed by
the Cosby Mysteries.
Followed by
some Jell-O pudding ads.
I saw that movie.
It was on Netflix
for a while.
It scared the crap out of me.
Did it?
Well, when I was a kid.
Oh, I only saw it as an adult.
It's probably dumb, right?
It's very dumb.
The twist is you're like, nope, you guys did not earn this.
Yeah, someone's the devil.
Yeah.
Robert De Niro.
The only other celebrity in the movie.
Wait, isn't Mickey Rourke in it?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I guess he's not. Yeah, you know, he's
the good guy. Sort of. Yeah.
He could play the devil now.
Oh, yeah, exactly. You could throw a rock
at his face and he'd not even notice.
I wish I had a face like...
No, I don't.
You wish you had a face like Mickey Rourke?
Careful what you wish for. The devil, Robert De Niro, will grant it.
Yeah, Mickey Rourke.
You want to hear the sound of a rock hitting Mickey Rourke's face?
Yeah.
People out there probably thought there was going to be an impression of Mickey Rourke at the end.
Oh, no.
I was surprised by the sound.
He doesn't say anything.
What's his face texture?
It's kind of a sheen to it, right?
It's kind of like,
imagine all of your butt
was a callus.
Yeah, instead of just the parts
that are a callus.
Yeah.
I've been, well, yeah.
Just the parts of your butt
that play guitar?
Yeah.
It's so hard to make a G chord with my butt,
but every day it gets a little easier.
Okay, a callus on your finger from playing guitar.
That's his whole face.
Yeah, he...
Sorry.
Sorry.
How does his voice go so it's like
does your rock
what's making
Rory's voice
I don't know
do it one more time
you have to make his face to do his voice
you can't
I'm closing my eyes so I can't.
This year rock.
That was pretty good.
This year rock.
You ever seen a one legged dog?
He's a weird
because he had this huge career
went away, had a huge comeback
now also has gone away again.
Yeah well I don't know, man.
Well, I mean,
I think that's sort of true of every comeback.
Like they come back, it's like
I've done it, I've verified
on Twitter.
I already feel bad describing what his face
is kind of like.
But he did that very much to himself.
Because he went and became a boxer
halfway through his film career.
Yeah, and he was in a motorcycle accident.
Was he?
Yeah.
Oh, I thought that was...
Are you thinking about Bob Dylan?
I might be thinking about lots of people.
Yeah.
A lot of famous motorcycle people actually.
Hey, don't get a motorcycle if you're famous.
Yeah, that's probably a good...
Yeah.
Who's the famous motorcycle people now? Ewan McGregor. He loves a motorcycle. you're famous yeah that's probably a good yes who is who's the
famous motorcycle people now ewan mcgregor he loves a motorcycle boy yeah how do you know
because he wrote a book and did a documentary where he rode a motorcycle around the world
with his uh uh friend yeah sorry really yeah what's that? No, it's his male friend.
And they just have...
They're just friends?
Are they seriously just friends?
Or do you know something?
I accidentally paused once.
And now everyone thinks Ewan McGregor is secretly gay.
With his...
Friend!
I saw him once at Pearson Airport.
Riding his motorcycle?
Yeah, on the baggage claim.
He's like, it never stops.
It's perfect for motorbikes.
It's a treadmill.
No, but I'm taller than him.
No way.
Yes, and I'm only 5'9".
I swear.
I think if you go on IMDB, it says he's taller, but I saw him.
A lot of Hollywood handsomes.
Tiny little guys.
Big heads.
Small hands. Warm hearts.
Can't leave.
Tyrion on Game of Thrones.
Peter Dinklage. Not as tall as he looks on TV. Yeah, that's true.
That's true. Tom Cruise.
Legendary.
Also, Jason Statham.
I know that Peter dinklage is a
smaller guy but i don't know who tyrian is so that's why yeah you don't watch it no no no you
caught up no no is that are you caught up i stopped but i heard the last episode was really good
yeah like that's the thing you got there's only like One sort of slow One or two slow episodes
Per season
But it's usually insane
I stopped like a year
And a half ago
Even when it was good
You guys missed it
You can't see
But Dave brushed me away
With his hand
I'm in control of my life
But is that a show
I've heard
That they change the maps
On every episode
For the intro
Oh there you go.
It's like Family Bill Cosby.
But like, why would you not?
Family Bill Cosby.
But don't you, does anyone sit through that?
Isn't that how it goes?
Yeah, it's pretty good.
That's how Game of Thrones goes.
Do it again.
Chili's baby background. do it again just all these viking barbarian guys dancing like like they can't whistle like
game of thrones Game of Thrones.
Ooh.
Yeah, he did magic fingers in his face.
Oh, you guys.
You have to film this.
It's way... There's like three visual things a year.
Oh, man.
But you can see how guilty my face is.
I just brush you off.
Yeah, yeah.
That was huge.
That would be a gif that got tossed around for sure.
There's a gif online right now you guys have to see.
It's a robot dog walking around a corner and slipping on a banana peel.
Oh, slipping on a banana peel.
Oh, my God.
I really love that.
That robot dog, we're really, I mean, all those robots.
There's a video of the guy knocking down the robot With a hockey stick
And it's like we're dead
Could we be asking for it anymore
I did think that too
Create these robots
Then just abuse them out of the gates
Just you wait
You thought the banana peel was
So funny
Now I'm going to peel you
Just so your face gets ripped off I asked for it was so funny. Yeah, watch me. Now I'm going to peel you.
Just so your face gets ripped off.
I asked for it.
Oh, man.
Yeah, we're dead.
Yeah, for sure.
But we're all going to die anyway, so.
Yeah, but jeez, like, you know,
I don't want it to be by, like,
a robot ripping out my heart and showing all the other robots,
like, look how puny they are.
Or just, like, spraying me the other robots like, look how puny they are. Or just like spraying me with fire
like, drink it! Isn't this what you like?
Just because it doesn't know yet?
Then it makes a gif of you
drinking fire.
Like just a flaming skull.
So much better at making gifs
than we are. Stupid human
drinks fire.
Look how So much better at making gifts than we are. Stupid human drinks fire. And then the robot drinks fire and like winks at the camera.
Yeah, because they can.
Give me a break.
Oh, man.
Dave, what's going on with you?
Sex.
Oh, tell him.
Now that I got your attention. what's going on with you? Sex. Oh, tell him. Now that I got your attention.
What's going on with me?
Well, I'm realizing that it's summertime, and are you roller coaster people?
Oh, I haven't been on one in a long time, but I do like them.
No.
Why not?
No.
I'm too scared. I don't want to die yet a long time, but I do like them. No. Why not? No. I'm too scared.
I don't want to die yet.
Oh.
Okay.
All right.
I mean, I believe you.
There are accidents.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There are like roller coaster accidents.
Some of them aren't even accidents.
Really?
I think a lot of them are murder.
Government conspiracy?
Yeah, yeah.
To kill one guy.
Yeah.
The government wants you to ride roller coasters, man.
Yeah. Think about it. That's what they want. They want you to ride roller coasters, man. Yeah.
Think about it.
That's what they want.
They want you to dangle your legs down on those dangly ones.
That was too scary.
I don't mind a roller coaster, but it's the spinny things that I get nauseous.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And now the threshold for what makes me nauseous has reached an epic low.
So what's the new threat?
Two things.
One, going on a swing.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
Wait, I think, yeah.
Margo, there's those kids swings that have like the little harness thing that you.
Yeah, kind of look like a diaper kind of thing.
Yeah, they have a front and back rubbery thing and I push her in it.
But now she's,
she points to the regular swing next to it.
She's like, you get in that one.
All right.
So she wants me to swing at the same time, and then also occasionally after every three
or four swings, push her.
Yeah.
Like, all right, well, but, you know,
don't neglect me.
Yeah, also, I want to swing.
But I can't, like, just the idea of focusing
on both of our swinging is, I cannot, I can't make it.
Too much.
30 seconds.
So what are you going to do?
It's roller coaster season.
I know, man.
What are you going to do?
You got to train.
I just think I might be out for roller coasters.
You'll be out for roller coasters until she is the age where she wants to go on a roller coaster, but isn't quite tall enough and you have to go with her.
That's when you'll have to.
That's not how the roller coaster hype thing works.
You must be this tall unless you have an adult.
Yeah.
It's not like a PG movie.
An adult that holds you tight.
But you'll have to go on rides with her.
Oh, for sure.
Abby's great at them.
But the other thing that is making me nauseous now is I got these prescription sunglasses.
Oh.
And just the idea that the world inside the sunglasses is so different from the world outside the sunglasses.
And my eye can pick up a little bit of both.
Oh, yeah.
It like makes my stomach flip around.
Oh, damn.
Yeah.
So roller coasters, they're out oh like they must be
yeah if i can't handle that but i don't i don't know that i could handle that i've never had to
deal with like this in focus that out of focus this this dark yeah yeah that'd be too much
even like wearing shades where i can sort of see the rim well you have the the duane wayne shades
the flip-ups that's the thing yeah in fact i wanted one that had like four different uh uh
types of shades that i could wear and just flip them up and they go over your head yeah
that's old-timey transitions yeah a little bit darker a little bit darker do transitions uh they
seem largely like they're always too they're always transitioning at the wrong time.
Like, you've come inside and you still look like you're wearing sunglasses.
And then you go outside and you're like, ah, it's so bright.
Like, they don't transition.
Do you wear glasses?
No.
Oh, me neither.
I don't really know that stuff.
No, me neither.
But I've never worn transitions.
I just know them to see them.
Yeah.
And they do always seem to be.
Not quite right.
Yeah.
They seem like they're just too far behind.
It's like actually thinking a hypercolor shirt is functional.
Yeah.
Well, everyone's going to know how hot I am on different parts of my body.
It's totally functional.
Yeah.
But it's,
yeah,
the only thing that transitions lenses,
they make you think,
because when they're
a little bit dark inside,
you're like,
is that person blind?
Yeah.
That person got like,
you know,
something blind,
a little bit,
you got a little bit of blind?
I saw a guy.
So they're like super dark?
No,
they're just a little,
they go a little gray inside.
Weird.
They never go completely clear and so you're like, doesn't sound like a good invention it sounds like a great invention
yeah it doesn't yeah work great because yeah i saw a guy at a hotel and he was and he just looked
like a guy was wearing sunglasses indoors but he didn't look like a blind guy just looked like a
guy who was like that's his thing were people mad at him i was yeah yeah pretty quickly take those off when you see somebody
wearing sunglasses indoors they're cool they're blind or they're a young thug yeah yeah exactly
yeah i'm sorry i cut you off no no you're right though like it's somebody that's making a statement
or they're a poker man oh yeah that's true's true. I wouldn't be surprised if you were.
Oh my God.
I don't really watch professional poker on TV, but everybody's like thing is so corny now.
It's too much.
Now.
What if there was a guy?
When I was a kid, it was all fedora.
Yeah, when I was a kid, they would play poker with those clockwork orange things holding your eyes open.
You just scream like.
That's my tell.
Yeah. My car. Everybody was screaming yeah my tell is
i can't perform violence anymore um can i say something about how we're all gonna die yeah yeah
listeners uh if you don't want to hear this fast forward i don't know unless you want to keep
talking about glasses i'm sorry I just said a thing.
Okay.
No, because I just, it's true because I really, really love being out here in BC and Vancouver.
And my cousin took me to Lighthouse Park.
Do you guys know that?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
It's by Dunderave?
Danderave.
I don't know.
I couldn't tell you.
I don't know.
West Van.
Yeah.
Lighthouse Park.
Yeah. I don't very, I very rarely venture into the West Van.
Oh, okay.
It's a very rain, rainforesty hike.
But so in there, we were feeling these giant, ancient, like Douglas fir trees.
Yeah.
And I, and there was a part of me that was like, if this fell and smushed me i that's great that'd be a great way to go
right like how you need to kind of go in a natural exciting way like we die for such in such dumb
ways now but getting crushed by a giant tree is actually almost like a noble way to go so that's
that's your preferred way being crushed by a treeed by a tree or eaten by a whale.
Something natural.
But like,
eat people.
Like lying in a hospital and coughing until you die?
Fuck that, man.
But I see the whale thing,
because you're like,
I'm part of the life cycle.
I died so that this whale can live.
But with the tree,
it's like,
I died because the tree died on me.
And I didn't run, and i'm stupid yeah yeah and
also in the uh newspaper that tree probably is going to get the headline like ancient douglas
fur yeah falls over yeah yeah murder and then into yeah tiny little it was also died temporary
insanity super tired doug Douglas Fur yeah falls on idiot
won't face charges
falls on
on Chris Lawrence
oh they got his name wrong
can you imagine
if you went to jail
and there was a bunch of trees
in there
okay
what
this is the
the fun part
the imagination
why are the trees are the trees mobile?
Yeah.
No, they were just placed in there by strong cops.
Because they fell on a human being.
Here's the thing.
If you don't.
There's something about giant ancient trees that you guys have to admit.
They seem wiser than us.
You have to admit.
Because they're all craggy.
What would it sound like if you threw a rock at a tree's face?
Yeah, basically.
What would the tree say, though?
Is this your rock?
So the tree, as played by Mickey Rourke.
Yeah, Mickey Rourke's yeah Mickey Rourke is the comeback
is old tree
those trees kind of
look like your butt
if it was a callus
oh I understand
the guitar callus
no
no
not every beat
is the same
oh boy
but how come every time I say this and I know maybe it's not funny if you guys can't see right
you guys obviously can't see right now but i'm exasperated okay but every time i bring this up
with people and i know it's not like a go-to joke or it's not funny but i think trees are like they
they represent wisdom they're weird something's weird about them they know more
than us yeah they've been around everything we go through we disintegrate like dust and we're
such dumb ding-dongs but trees are always standing there watching us like all right
but they're missing out on some stuff like they don't know about what goes on inside
yeah oh they look in windows didn't you ever watch poltergeist
but they don't look in windows. Didn't you ever watch Poltergeist? But they don't look in every window.
Yeah, I guess.
You're right.
They try to.
Jeez.
And do they communicate with each other?
Yeah, the roots under the ground touch each other and hold hands.
It's very nice.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, they are wise.
I've thought about it.
Yeah, I bet.
So do you go, are you a guy that goes camping?
Do you like to be around trees? Yes. I like thought about it. Yeah, I bet. So do you go, are you a guy that goes camping? Do you like to be around trees?
Yes, I like going up into the wilderness and getting nude.
Really?
Just walking around.
Like skinny dipping.
I only want my wife to see.
I don't want anyone else to see.
Well, the trees are watching.
And she doesn't want to see.
I want you to see this, honey.
Look at my bum as I jump off this rock.
She's like, I'm making chili.
I'm taking care of your child.
I'm making chili.
I'm making forest chili.
I'm making smoked forest chili.
And the trees are just looking at you like, look at these fucking leaves.
I'm a city boy.
I'm from Toronto and born and raised playground, et cetera.
But the thing is, is there's something in me.
It's a void that I cannot fill.
I want to be a nature man.
That's why I really, really loved the video you made a couple years ago.
Because, and we've talked about it before.
Like, I want to i i don't like the
metropolitan planet i don't like city i don't like yeah concrete eventually i'll move out
sometimes i literally think roads and fucking sidewalks are basically on the earth's real face
i think of it like that oh really you know i mean, I feel bad that we're not walking on the real ground.
On your, on Utopia to me.
Have you ever talked about what your Utopia would be?
No, not really.
Sometimes, like, I like people's ideas or I get ideas, but.
Because you mostly, I've listened to many episodes.
Oh.
You find out, you always have questions like, what will you want to eat?
Like, and also, will there be indian food yeah yeah
basically i think like my utopia would be like i'd be totally fine with my nude body uh and i'd be in
the middle of the woods uh with my wife and uh she'd be making a roti and she would be making
indian roti or i would i mean i like cooking too but there'd just be like lots of Indian recipe foods.
Spices.
Yeah.
I live in a forest full of cardamom and cumin.
The other question that sticks out a lot is you ask people, and what about your body or like people's bodies?
Would everyone be like, have like really, you know, tough bodies like Tom Hardy?
I don't ask that a lot.
Yeah.
Tom Hardy's perfect.
This is what I'm getting.
You have to admit.
Also,
the guy's freaking perfect.
He was in a movie called Lock.
So that must have been like crazy for you.
It was like a wink.
Yeah.
It's like the universe was like,
you're doing all right, buddy.
Yeah.
He's 5'9".
He's the same height as me.
Really?
If I work hard, I can get that bod. But I don't have that hair. Is that all it is?, buddy. Yeah. He's 5'9". He's the same height as me. Really? So if I work hard, I can get that bod.
But I don't have that hair.
Is that all it is, is height?
Yeah.
Because tall guys rule, man.
5'9's got to fucking work hard.
Yeah.
5'9's are under work hard.
Yeah, it's true.
How tall are you?
I think 5'8", 5'9"?
Yeah.

Dave just opened up another pack of growing pain.
I'm saving mine for Christmas.
Oh, these are by Tops.
Oh, what is the sticker in this pack?
There's no sticker.
I didn't see it.
I only opened this one up.
Oh, no, there's a Maggie Seaver sticker.
There you go.
What was her...
Catchphrase?
No. Get out of here. Her pseud go. What was her... Catchphrase?
Get out of here.
Her pseudonym.
She was a newswoman.
Oh.
Like Maggie Malone.
Is that right?
Jesus.
I don't know.
She was a newswoman.
And he was like a psychotherapist that had an office in his house. His patients would always be like, I'm afraid a giant's going to pick me up and eat me.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The most typical fear there is.
I need to talk to him.
Jason Seaver.
Now, we usually like to start with the guest.
Yeah.
But you kind of, it seems like this got you off guard.
So we can start with Dave and come back to you.
Okay.
Yeah.
I know I've heard things.
Yep. It's settled.
I'll do. I'll go. Okay. You go.
Now a few weeks ago I had an overheard where I just heard a guy
yell at another guy who was carrying shopping bags. Hey
nice purse.
And then a couple weeks went past,
and I overheard a guy yelling,
hey, nice purse, is that Prada,
to me as I was carrying my child's diaper bag.
And it was like a guy.
Do you think it was the same guy? No, no, no.
This was in a different neighborhood. Guy from his front porch yelling at me hey nice purse is that prada and
like my reaction was haha but was he being mean to me i was he being like a friendly joking stranger
yelling at people from his yard but it's weird to it's only funny to say nice
purse to somebody that you for sure know doesn't carry a purse yeah and maybe i do exactly so it
doesn't seem it doesn't seem like it's there's any room there for him to be a nice guy and it's not
prada yeah although i don't know i couldn't tell what a prada thing is aside from it saying prada
yeah i think it would be really expensive. Yeah, the one I
know is Louis, but isn't that the one that's always
got the same brown and gold? Well, they
do different. I think there's one called
Fenchi. Yeah, there's one
called Fenchi? Felchi?
Felchi. Yeah, Felchi? Really?
No.
Menchies. It's Fendi.
Fendi.
I got Fendi mixed up with Frenchie.
Yeah, Frenchie's the like poutine place or?
Sure.
Yeah, why not?
I would love to.
Our diaper bag, for anyone listening, is a Le Sport Sac.
Oh, really?
Nice diaper bag.
Yeah.
What's your diaper bag?
My diaper bag, I don't know the brand kathleen bought it online and she was like i
splurged on a good diaper bag so i feel like it's good because you're gonna have definitely got it's
super good compartments mega compartments it's even got like a change uh a little pad inside
that you unfold is it uh unisex or does it look like a woman's back um it could be unisex okay
i think you want right because you're going to be carrying
it yeah every single place you go for a couple of years anyway so for years yeah and then years
after if you you just adapt it you start putting snacks in there yeah you take the change pad out
and just put a laptop in there done put adult diapers in the other pockets put the wrap the
change pad around your laptop. Man,
people that are addicted to World of Warcraft
should bring diaper bags
and like,
keep their laptop in it.
Just like,
stand,
sit there and play
and shit the whole time.
I have this,
this neoprene
laptop cover.
Oh yeah.
Just like,
from Mountain Equipment Co-op.
I couldn't find it
for a while
and I just used
a padded envelope.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, why not? Same, and I just used a padded envelope. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, why not?
Same, I'm sure, same level of protection.
Yeah, it's got a little.
Yeah, you know what?
I don't use a, there's a pocket in my backpack that's good for laptop,
but it's still like I don't put anything around the laptop itself.
That's how your wife got pregnant.
Uh-oh.
Yeah.
Unprotected laptop.
Graham, do you have an overheard?
Not really.
Oh, this makes me feel better.
Yeah.
But, man, we've recorded three episodes in three days.
I feel like I used my juiciest one, and then I went really down to the wire.
Oh, but I've had such great topics.
Like, hey, isn't it weird outside your prescription sunglasses
i like that topic because it made me think of roller coasters yeah um and all the roller
coasters i haven't been on there's a lot there's most of them yeah that's that's uh you got a lot
of regret oh tons you're gonna join the um uh what is it called isn't it ace is it uh
something coaster enthusiast?
American coaster enthusiast?
And they like have meetings at different theme parks.
And then I assume have sex.
Yeah.
With one another.
Upside down.
Why would you join any club that didn't have that as a component?
Yeah, that's a classic Groucho Marx line, right?
Yeah.
I would never want to be a member of a club that doesn't assume we're all going to have sex.
With me.
I would never want to be a part of a club that would have my member as a member.
That's better.
Groucho.
Grouchy.
Grouchy.
Grouchy the clown.
Here, I can name the four Marx Brothers super fast. Grouchy. Yeah. Grouchy the Clown Here I can name The four Marx Brothers

I love the idea of a classic comedian being just called Hawk.
Hawk.
Like a G.I. Joe.
Please welcome Hawk.
Yeah, I grew up watching Hawk, you know what I mean?
Oh, yeah, that's cool. If classic comedians just had tough guy names.
Snake eyes.
Roadblock.
But coming in here today, nearly saw an accident.
I know.
I was so jealous.
Because there's a, what do you call it, roundabout?
Uh-huh.
And people don't.
People in Vancouver really do not know how to operate any four-way stop or roundabout.
Anything that doesn't have lights.
And even with lights, there's still a lot of room for interpretation.
But this was a lady really honked really, really loud.
And then this guy backed up through the roundabout and got out of his car to like.
But he wasn't.
Yeah, he wasn't yelling at her he just
walked up uh to her window and said like whoever i was uh whoever's on the right gets the right
away in the roundabout and i was already through and then she tried to say something back he goes
you weren't exactly crawling through the intersection either but he wasn't screaming
he was just like time for an education. Interesting. Yeah, yeah. Did you
like his method?
At first, when he pulled back, I was like, ah, so that's
why I stood there to make sure there was like no
violence. But then I was
like, oh, this guy's maybe a teacher.
Yeah. What's the, there should be an expression for
when a man explains something.
Oh.
Mayonnaise.
Mail call.
Oh, he totally mail called it Yeah
Mailversation
To correct you
It's when the car on the left
In the roundabout
Has the right of way
Well actually
Car on the right
Is gone already
Oh yeah that's right
Now do you have an overheard?
So I did have time to think about it
I appreciate it
You guys are very kind
Thanks for giving me the time Thanks for coming on the show is recently i had a solo breakfast at nice cafe
okay just off of main there on uh like eighth or something yeah eighth and uh there was a real
artsy crew like younger um turtlenecks yeah circular glasses yeah exactly berets berets Neck's. Yeah. Circular glasses. Yeah, exactly. Berets. Berets.
Taking pictures of the Beatles.
Yeah.
Copy of Howl tucked under their arm.
Yeah.
These are,
these are things.
They were really scared.
They didn't know
what time they were in.
They were,
they ate like
some sort of
time traveling pancake.
What the hell?
And like,
yeah,
where are my bongos but the thing is is
beatniks ladies and gentlemen always eating those pancakes
um i just got it okay the thing is is oh yeah so they were like modern artsy guys oh yeah which
is even crazier right yeah modern um so i don't want to describe them too much because maybe
they're listeners and uh but they were you you anyways they were bad people i don't want to describe them too much because maybe they're listeners and
uh but they were you you anyways they were bad people you don't like no they were fine they were
like hipstery kind of like artsy like um you know the music that you're uh not hearing is what
they're trying to say you know like that kind of shit but so the thing i can't remember specifically
but one guy was doing most of the talking there's four
of them and so he was the leader i assume but the main thing he kept one of the things he mentioned
was this uh talking about his buddy's art project where they took like an indiana jones movie but
took the um music out and he made his own soundtrack so it didn't match the movie and that was his fucking
art project but then the guy at the the guy telling it was explaining like it was really
amazing because it just but the point of the project was to show you how good this acting is
and how good the effects are so that it doesn't matter what the sound is the movie was still that
good and i was sitting there trying not to be like,
the music of Indiana Jones!
You know what I mean?
It's not crucial to the success of that movie.
Your buddy, both of you are just being stupid.
It's one of the...
It was kind of, it made me furious to a degree
because it's like the Indiana Jones music.
It's one of the few scores that you can...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Indiana Jones music.
It's one of the few scores that you can... Yeah.
It's more like trap beats.
Look, it's Indiana Jones.
Look, it's Indiana Jones.
I was looking at pictures...
I was looking at pictures of Indiana Jones the other day, and he wears pleated khakis.
Yeah, yeah.
Of course.
What are you saying, man?
Is he the coolest person ever to wear pleated khakis, and we're all just chasing the dragon?
Not anymore.
I feel like maybe Scarface does.
Oh, well, yeah.
Maybe he wears some pretty high pants.
Is he cooler than Indiana Jones?
Say hello to my pleated khakis.
Say hello to my pleated friends.. Say hello to my pleaded friends.
Hey, here's an Indiana Jones connection.
Okay.
At Sunday service last Sunday, Shia LaBeouf was in the crowd.
Oh, that's right.
We got to meet him after.
It was cool.
He's a little artsy crazy guy.
He is, yeah.
Nice guy.
I bet he...
Nice guy.
I think.
As for the seconds I talked to him,
but,
uh,
he came and he watched the whole show,
right?
Yeah.
It was part of an art project.
He was.
He took the soundtrack out of this.
I know he does a lot of,
but it was another weird project where like him and his crew,
they type people send you a GPS location of where they want you to go.
And then go there and Sunday service was the location, and they film it.
But I think they were up in the balcony,
so they weren't disrupting the show at all.
And they were very all really polite, nice people.
But now I think my stand-up might be in the movie of this project.
Oh, you burned all your, oh, from that major motion picture
that's going to come out of us.
New credit.
I got a new credit.
Shia LaBeouf's art shit.
That's my other dream role, playing a zombie or being in a Shia LaBeouf's art shit Do you think That's my other dream role
Playing a zombie
Or being in a Shia LaBeouf
Art project
Do you think
You've lived them both
Like
Cause James Franco's
The other guy who
Who's the other
Who's the artsy
Yeah there's still
There's
He does everything
Less famous
You know
Actors
Crispin Glover or whatever
Sure
Who do artsy stuff
But
Well what's her name?
Uh, Tilda Swinton.
Yeah.
She was like a full on performance artist.
Really?
Yeah.
She's awesome.
But just like sort of avant-garde, whatever, this might be art.
If Franco and LaBeouf did like a, uh, had like a big rivalry, I think that would really
elevate.
I bet you they kind of do.
But if it's not publicized. Like,
it's just like,
oh,
James Franco's doing something.
Oh,
Shia LaBeouf's doing something.
Yeah,
if they hated each other,
or,
I mean,
even better,
they hate each other for a while,
and then like Brandy and Monica collide.
Battle of the tiny,
self-indulgent ding-dongs.
Just kidding,
they both seem cool,
actually.
I think James Franco
seems really cool.
Yeah.
But sometimes in the media, it seems like they're trying to frame him to be like...
Because anybody who, I think, anybody who goes outside of the tiny box that the media wants...
Yeah, you're right.
They've assigned you.
Oh, really?
You're totally right.
You're an actor and that's not satisfying enough for you?
Yeah.
I'm just a reporter.
And I eat pancakes.
You were talking about syncing up music to movies.
And I never had done.
Well, those guys were.
Yeah.
You were talking about them talking about it.
I had never gone to the trouble of syncing up Dark Side of the Moon to Wizard of Oz.
Oh, yeah.
But someone did it and put it online.
Yeah.
I've seen that, yeah.
And I flipped through it. Yeah, yeah. But someone did it and put it online. Yeah, I've seen that, yeah. And I flipped through it.
Yeah, yeah.
But I never realized how long the beginning before it turns colorful is.
It's like 45 minutes.
Also.
I thought it was like five.
Yeah, weird.
There's also like this crazy, there's like all these sequences that you remember,
but then there's these giant swaths of the movie
that you're like oh no i don't recall that like what i don't know we were doing uh at the show
that i host on monday the laugh gallery uh we get people to read trivial pursuit questions to win a
prize yeah and one of the questions was like what what words did the wicked witch of the west write
in the sky with her broom? And I was like
nobody fucking knows. I asked everybody
in the audience. Does anybody know?
Everyone's like no. It was something
Dorothy? Bring Dorothy home? Yeah.
Zoom? I don't know. It was something like
that. Yeah. Zoom. Wee!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
But there's all sorts of like I don't whoa but there's all
sorts of like
I don't know
there's all sorts
of scenes in it
that I like
totally just don't
remember
things that
you're like
oh yeah
that's part of
that movie
the guards
with the crazy
hats
everything's crazy
I would like to
watch it
rewatch it
yeah
the flying monkeys
are actually
genuinely scary
yeah
everything in it
is genuinely scary
and I have
looked hard at that part where they claim the person hangs himself.
It's an ostrich.
Is it?
An ostrich hanging itself?
No, no.
It's the rope is the ostrich's neck.
Yeah.
Oh.
What the hell?
Because there was a scene where there was all these birds that was cut out of the movie.
Oh.
It was just an ostrich.
But it wouldn't surprise me that there were just ostriches
walking around the set.
Yeah.
Hollywood was bonkers back then.
Speaking of, like,
places where people just, like,
meet to hook up,
that was...
It's famous.
Were we?
I don't remember that.
No, you were saying
a rollercoaster club or whatever.
Oh, yeah.
We are really looping back.
This is the...
Anyways, yeah.
But that movie, legendarily is um oh yeah fuck fest fuck
fest for uh little people the little people i have heard of that yeah that it is great like people
i guess maybe the last actors who were in that movie just passed away maybe like a year ago or
two years ago and they just it's still like, I will never top that.
Wow.
Like it was the best.
Yeah.
Do you think they died of an STD from the fuck?
That's a very slow moving one.
Sure.
Yeah.
Um,
uh,
now we also have,
uh,
overheard sent into us,
uh,
by you,
the listener.
If you want to send one into us,
send it to maximum fun.
Dot org.
Uh, or SBY at maximum fund. Or it to MaximumFun.org. Or SBY at MaximumFun.org.
I'm not paying attention.
Yeah, me neither.
Oh, brother.
This first one comes from Matt in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Oh, okay.
What if that was in a different place?
It was Oklahoma City.
It was Kansas City, Missouri.
Why did they do that?
I think it's right on the border.
Oh, okay.
Happy now?
Alright. Just overheard
one co-worker talking to another
about a recent incident in the news.
He was trying to sound deep and knowledgeable
about the world, and then this happened.
Nothing surprises
me anymore. I mean, fiction
is often less true than reality
that's the best one just like uh which one's fiction again
supposed to be true fiction is i get Are there any ones you get mixed up?
Oh, what are they called?
Like not aphorisms.
The ones I can never keep straight are secular and non-secular.
Like one of them means non-religious, but I don't know which one.
I think secular means non-religious
Yeah, non-secular means religious
Or the other way around
Yeah, exactly
This next one comes from Jarrett
Did you guys have anything like that?
No, I can't think of anything
Oh, you know what?
For a long time
I think when I was younger i thought pen ultimate meant oh after
the ultimate yeah it seems like it yeah both seem like they should mean mine is i always say you can
lead a horse to water but what about me that's true yeah and i don't think that i always get that
you're you're not alone oh you know it was one what was one that, it's not a saying or anything, but it was a joke that I never understood as a kid.
And it was only when I was an adult that I was like, oh, that's what that meant.
But I remember as a kid reading the joke and being like, I don't, and it was so I didn't get it.
I can't wait for it.
It was like a cosmic riddle.
It was, it said,
uh,
how do you get down from a horse?
Oh yeah.
It's the joke.
Yeah.
And then the answer is you don't get down from a horse.
You get down from a duck.
And I was like,
what the fuck does that mean?
So you asked me how to get down from a horse,
but now I'm on a duck.
It didn't make any sense.
I never heard that before.
And I just had to figure it out now
yeah the one that went for me was always like if jack helped you off a horse would you help jack
off a horse that one i knew that one wait why am i jacking off a horse now i'm walking here
i'm walking here and jacking off a horse i uh used to think when I was a kid, I thought befriend, I thought of it as defriend.
What?
Yeah.
So it's like.
Oh, like I'm befriending.
Befriending someone.
I was like, I just befriended that person.
I hate them.
Oh.
Yeah.
Like I didn't, cause it sounds like defriending.
It does sound like defriending.
So I just let it grow.
One time I, I think I remember in grade three, we all had to wait for something.
And I said to everyone, patience is a virgin.
And everyone was like, it's patience is a virtue.
And I was like, that's what I said.
What is the great, there's a great bit of dialogue from friends where Joey says.
Oh, the moot point.
Moot point.
Yeah, it's a moot point, like a cow's opinion.
This next overheard comes from Jarrett in Somerville, Massachusetts.
Hi.
Hi.
While walking into work this morning, I heard a 20-something-year-old man talking with a
20-something-year-old woman say, if I die and I'm locked in my apartment, then my cat
will just eat me.
And I think that's great.
Yeah.
It's true. Chris supports that. Yeah. yeah it's like people of life yeah yeah if a tree falls me i think the tree should just
eat me yeah if a tree falls in the forest on me does the cat eat my face what about those trees
what do you remember those trees in the wizard of o? They're so fucking scary. Is that in the forest where they find the Tin Man?
Yeah, and then, like, I think Scarecrow eats an apple, and the tree's like, what the fuck, man?

Gather round, ladies and gentlemen.
Don't look.
What the hell? Why did he say don't look? Everyone gather round, ladies and gentlemen. Don't look. What the hell?

Everyone gather round, but turn around.

Don't look.
Plato's first dialogue is Socrates just being like, are we all naked?

One of the first philosophy
Dialogues ever is like
How much clothes are we wearing dudes
I don't know why
Alright
Alright
This last one comes from
Tyler in Waterloo, Ontario.
Yeah, cool.
I love go to the Princess Cafe, Tyler, and watch Mark LeCompte's comedy shows.
Those are the best.
All right.
I was at the grocery store when I overheard a boyfriend and girlfriend standing in front of the granola bars.
The girl picks up a box of bars that advertise they are high in fiber.
The boyfriend saw this and exclaimed, high in fiber?
Like you need to shit more.
Pretty good. And she was like, I
love you.
You get
me. You're right. I
shit so much.

I am
calling in
with an overheard
hi
I'm at a renaissance fair
and uh
there are two guys
talking to each other
at the beer tent.
And one guy says to the other,
Hey, so, is she
your girlfriend?
And the other guy goes,
No, we talked about it,
but she hurt her ankle.
So, it's off.
Well, but, when you think about it,
during the renaissance, hurting your ankle, that was like a death sentence.
Yeah, that's true.
So, like, yeah.
Did they use the term girlfriend in the Renaissance?
Wench.
But, you know.
It's like, there's certain things that you're allowed to do at the Ren Faire and certain things that are put down on it.
Right, there's certain suspension of disbelief.
Yeah, yeah.
But if you hurt your ankle
it's uh yeah you're out you're out of the renfair for the day you're you hurt your ankle back in the
renaissance they add more mud to your face yeah yeah because everyone just had mud on their face
anyway oh boy yeah you're not kidding except for like five royal people yeah yeah it's funny. Clean faces. Because even the royal people would have had pretty janky teeth, right?
But in all the movies, everybody's got really.
That's got to be what would kill you.
The Renaissance was actually very mostly civilized, wasn't it?
Yeah.
It was the Renaissance.
Yeah.
It came after the Dark Ages.
They were reading all of Plato's dialogue.
And they got super psyched.
And then they were like, are we too naked?
They're like, we were way more close.
Here's your next phone call.
Hey guys, this is
Mitch in Los Angeles calling in with an
overheard. I was just at
Michael's craft store
and I heard
from just
around the corner of one of the aisles, a girl arguing with her dad.
And I heard him say, Jessica, I said no.
That's all I need to say.
And she's arguing back.
And I turned the corner and saw that she was holding a giant, like novelty, red, white, and blue Uncle Sam hat, like a
top hat.
And she was saying, but Dad, I need it.
I'm going to celebrate.
To celebrate?
Yeah.
I would love it.
And the Collins and the Rittenhans rule.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, because they don't have to come up with new ones every week.
Yeah, or on the did you that's amazing when you were a kid did you ever like see one of those like a novelty
hat at a gas station or something and beg your parents to buy it for you you did i definitely
did pretty much every gas station would have some kind of thing like if you could read this bitch fell off my head
i remember being in grade four and being like my parents were going to new york in november and i
was like buy me a santa hat and they were like what a santa hat the scent buy me a santa hat
bring me back a s hat from New York City
and they did
and I wore it at school
and I was the coolest
oh of course
and then the next year
Santa hats were everywhere

by then
you started it
I did
Santa hats
but they were real velvety
by the time they made it

Yeah.
You can make Santa hats and your own Muppet.
And also, have you seen that place in New York?
No.
I think it's actually a part of FAO Schwartz.
You can make your own Muppet now.
Design your own Muppet.
MYOM?
That was good.
I never would have thought of those letters.
Yeah.
M-Y-O-M at F-A-O Schwartz.
Here's your final one.
Hi, Graham, Dave, and possible guest.
I'm calling in with an overheard.
It's Christina G. from Vancouver.
And I was walking in the West End
when I passed by two women in their 70s
with kind of curly white grandma hair.
And they were pretty well dressed and they were standing on a street corner chatting.
And I just heard two lines.
Woman one said, I'm pretty sure it's called a cubby hole.
And woman two shook her head and insisted, no, it's a glory hole.
Yeah. Well, wait, it's a glory hole. Yeah.
Well.
Wait, what was the first one?
Cubby or chubby?
Okay, chubby.
Chubby hole.
A chubby hole.
Yeah.
Pretty good.
That's scary.
What?
Oh, sorry.
No, go ahead.
Accidentally mistaking a cubbyhole for a glory hole?
Yes.
Yeah, exactly.
Your shoes get ruined.
I forgot what I was going to say.
No, no, no.
Where are glory holes?
Wherever you are.
Where do they occur?
Yeah, just wherever there's, I think, a room and a whole, like...
But, like, I would say I talk about them every day.
And I've never been in the presence of one.
According to the porn I've seen, they're in a big piece of cardboard that someone's holding.
And they're pretending it's a bathroom.
They couldn't even go to Home Depot and buy some drywall.
No.
No, it's like a cardboard painted blue
and there's fake graffiti on it.
It's like movie magic.
Okay.
I watched, I was watching a marathon of the show
called Bar Rescue.
And it goes into bars that are just really slimy.
And one of the bars, they were like, they shot a porn in this bar.
And so I was like, I just Googled the name.
Yeah.
Bar Rescue porn.
First thing that pops up.
It was pretty gross.
I could see why.
I think why the guy was like, yeah, this is bad.
Because he was like, the whole couch was, or the whole porn was filmed on this couch that everybody was sitting on.
I mean, now I think, anytime I go into a bar, I'm like, wow, what's happened in here?
What kind of cool sex productions have happened in here?
Where can you jam in this bar?
I feel that way if I go to someone's house and it's too small.
Like there aren't enough rooms and you're like, oh.
Oh, you're like, there must be a secret room around here.
Well, no.
It's like.
Am I sitting where your bum was?
If there's not too many places to be in here.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And totally like your junk has been totally near where I'm. Yeah. No, that's a good call. It's a good call. Anytime you go to anything. Yeah, oh yeah. And totally, like your junk has been totally
near where I'm...
Yeah,
no, that's a good call.
It's a good call
anytime you go
into anything, really.
Like if someone's
apartment is just a bed
and you have to sit on it
and drink tea on the bed.
Like,
how,
when was the last time
someone was,
you know,
squishing around it?
Oh, this morning.
You're drinking like a green tea.
You're like, are these my pubes?
That green tea is from the alien
I had sex with this morning.
That's an alien pube.
I'll take that.
On Earth, it's known as platinum.
I can sell these alien spew.
That's like a modified Jack and the Beanstalk.
Oh, my God.
Oh, you could call it Jack and the Beanstalk.
Jack and...
And he's got a big green dick.
Thank you, Jack.
