Hi, he's Dave Shumka.
And he's Graham Clark.
And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself.
Woo!
Hello everybody, welcome to episode number 448 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who's not afraid to wear a nice button-up under a sweatshirt, Mr. Dave Shumka.
Hey, it's athleisure.
Yeah.
Is that a term?
Athleisure is a term.
Oh yeah, I think it refers more to like... Wearing chin pads around the office?
No, it's like stylized sweatpants, like skinny sweatpants.
Sometimes I see people wearing those.
Well, that guy is the peak of ath-leisure. He looks athletic and leisurely.
Usually.
And our guest today, returning guest to the podcast,
he is one half of the hilarious CBC radio show, This Is That.
Mr. Pat Kelly is our guest.
Gentlemen.
Hello.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you for being on the show. The first thing, I want to know who's going to be guest 450.
I'm two away from being 450 Is 450 a milestone?
It is, it's 450
That's a big number
450 though
What is a significant 450?
Okay, well let's say 500
Do we know who's going to be guessed?
Do you think he'll still be alive?
No, no, big earthquake coming next year.
Dinosaurs coming.
When does 500 get?
When is that?
It's 52 weeks from today.
Today.
Yeah.
So it could be you.
Okay.
Thank you.
But it's an honor to be 448.
Well, it doesn't sound like it is.
Who would be a good 500?
Like, is there someone we associate with the number 500?
Who's won the indianapolis 500
oh sure uh bobby ray hall uh arie lyondike tate windsor um um gordon gordon pucker we could have
somebody from the movie 300 uh-huh and then another guy uh zoe de chanel from 500 First Dates or whatever. Yeah, she'd be good. There we go.
500.
Days of Summer.
It's the highest bill you can get in Monopoly.
Oh, wait, it's not 500 First Dates.
Is that in the name of the movie?
500 times we date.
It's the name of the movie.
Yeah.
500 crazy dates.
Crazy dates with Zoe D.
Oh, should we get to know us?
Yeah.
Sure. Get to know us? Yeah.
Get to know us.
I'm not sure if you want to plug this or not, but you have a book.
Yes, and I'm not sure we want to plug this or not, but Dave Shumka helped write this book. Okay, all right.
So this is all we don't know?
I'm not sure I want to plug that.
Does anybody, is anybody sure about what they want to say about this?
No.
Okay.
So we, yes, we wrote a, this is that travel guide to Canada,
which was a, it's like a fake Lonely Planet.
Right.
All nonsense.
And we needed to really compress the timeline in which this thing needed to be finished.
Because you were like, we need this.
I was like, oh, I have an idea.
Let's make a book.
And then the publisher was like, well, you have an idea. Let's make a book. And then the publisher was like,
well, you have to finish it
in like a month.
Yeah.
If you're going to get it
into the stores.
We're going to sneak it in
on the end of some menus.
Yes, exactly.
That's pretty much it.
If you want it for Christmas.
Right.
And somehow we wrote it
in even less time
because it's going to be available
at the beginning of November.
Yes.
Wow.
Yeah, November 1st, it's available the november rush because there's all sorts of holidays in november you buy books for remembrance day uh-huh american thanksgiving black friday
these are all great halloween discount halloween sales yeah um do you think you'll make it into
the halloween discount bin i guess that would
be really depressing if they're like you know what this put this with all of the crappy chocolate
bars like 50 cents put these next to the mini kit kats yeah take it it's a book do you have a
favorite halloween fun size thing? Yes. What is?
Little Smarties?
No.
Well, I mean, those are fun.
But it was only because I would never see the full size ones in stores.
It was the Three Musketeers.
Oh.
I would get mini Three Musketeers. That's not, no peanuts in there?
No, it's just a nougat.
Oh.
Yeah, just a marshmallow-y nougat.
I like a Wonder Bar because they get that,
you have that strip of, I think it's just a
Canadian.
It's a very weird one to like.
Yeah.
But they have that strip of caramel over top of
the peanut butter and in a large bar, it's not,
it's not perfect, but just there's a dusting of it.
There's a snap to the, when you bite into it,
the, it kind of snaps.
See, what I don't like about Halloween candy these days is the, it's, is the globification of the monopolization by these, by big candy.
Okay.
Tell me more.
Grouping all of these together in these variety packs.
Oh, in the variety packs.
And then everybody just buys the same variety pack so that it's just a combination of like four or five of the same thing.
So in years past, you would get just a thing of Tootsie Rolls.
There was some curation.
Yeah.
There was some curation on behalf of the purchaser.
Oh, to be a candy curator.
I feel like they're doing opposite curation where they will absolutely put something they cannot sell.
Otherwise, they'll stick it in with some.
Into the variety pack, yeah.
Well, yeah, like I feel like Arrow is the one that always gets thrown in the variety pack.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like, I don't know.
And like Tootsie Rolls are hard to come by now, I think.
Yeah, you've brought them up twice.
Well, I brought them up the first time.
Oh, okay.
Rockets are kind kind of hearts come by
no I get plenty of rockets
still when you go
trick or treating
yeah
you know what's
kind of disappeared
I think
is just a general sucker
lollipops
oh just like
yeah
I don't know
I wonder
because
has it disappeared
or do you want one
like I
I like the ones
with the thing inside
what are the
they're like Tootsie Pops.
Oh boy.
This episode's brought to you
by Tootsie Roll.
So,
here was my problem
with suckers
when I was a kid
is you would have
a plastic Halloween bag
and those suckers
would punch a hole.
It's true.
Little sticks would be
sticking out of the bottom
of the bag.
Oh.
Yeah.
So,
I mean,
sure.
Did I switch over
to pillowcase the next year?
Sure. But that's because, again, Halloween conspiracy, the pillowcase Oh. Yeah. So, I mean, sure. Do I switch over to pillowcase the next year? Sure.
But that's because,
again, Halloween
Conspiracy, the pillowcase
people got involved.
Oh, yeah.
You know.
Sort of.
I don't know who
makes pillowcases.
A lot of companies.
Yeah.
The organization.
Yeah.
Wamsutta.
The PCO.
Pillowcase. Pillowcase Organization.
Organization,
sure.
Association.
It's a PCA.
And I,
I,
growing up,
there was a lot of like thread shaming.
Oh,
sure.
People would be like,
what's the thread count?
Is that Egyptian cotton?
No,
guys,
it's just,
it's just for my candy.
So,
thread count,
uh,
shaming.
Uh-huh.
We,
we just got, uh, hoodwinked by this thread count thing.
Oh, wait.
Okay.
Our second wedding anniversary.
Happy anniversary.
It's cotton.
Thank you.
So, is that, I guess, the traditional, not the modern?
I don't know.
There's two sets.
The modern is an iPod shuffle.
Yeah.
That's right.
But the modern, it's only updated to like 2009. Yeah.
That was the last time they were able to update it.
It's like a Netflix account.
But the, so we, Cotton, we were in the United States and went into a Macy's.
Advertising this advertising this huge sheet.
This is also a tongue twister I came up with.
She sells sheet sets at the Sears sheet set sale.
Ah, really?
She sells sheet sets at the Sears sheet set sale.
And was your wife, when you said that,
was like, maybe we should have a separate vacation?
No.
And she was like, you better set sale, buddy.
So we weren't at Sears,
but we were at Macy's advertising this sheet sale.
Yeah.
Then you were like, oh, I wish this was at Sears,
because then I could say this. She sells sheet sets at the Sears sheet set sale. Yeah. So when you were, then you were like, Oh, I wish this was at Sears. Cause then I could say this.
Yeah.
She sells sheets at the Sears sheets at sale.
So,
so the,
uh,
we're thinking this is perfect.
It's our anniversary.
This is what we're supposed to get.
And there's a sale.
So we're like,
let's go right for the highest.
Let's go for the highest
thread count possible like that's gonna be the deal uh say say hypothetically that i'm a dumb
dumb that doesn't know anything about uh thread counts thread crown softer yeah yeah there's just
supposed to be better quality and sort of like say i'm a dumb dumb who knows nothing about thread count. The range is, oh, five threads to ten threads?
Five threads to 1,200 threads.
Oh, wow.
So that means it's like weaved, like there's 1,200 weaves per square weave unit.
Yeah.
Whatever it is.
This is my point.
It's all a myth.
So we pick up these 1,200 thread count sheets.
Right.
And we're like, holy cow,
and they're 50% off and what a deal.
Thread count sheets
sounds
on the mound. She counts
thread counts at the
seat set, thread counts
at the seat. Sea shanty.
So,
I'm picking these up, they're
expensive, but now they're half price.
And we think,
well,
this is a deal.
We're getting the best sheets you can possibly get.
So,
but I'm,
as we're walking to the counter,
I'm like,
I'm looking at these.
I'm like,
these don't look that like,
I've been in hotels that have nicer sheets.
Like this is not,
I'm not sure these ones are like legit,
really good sheets.
And what do you know what the name,
like,
was there a particular thing?
It wasn't like a,
you know,
it wasn't like a polo sheet or like Ralph Lauren or something.
It was just like Macy's kind of brand sheet house,
house brand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so I get to the counter and I'm,
I'm fully skeptical.
And I'm like,
my brain is feeling like
my father like i'm like oh my god this is what it feels like to be my dad yeah because i'm like
skeptical starting to get cheap about the whole thing you see a kid cutting eye holes in the same
sheets and you're like oh no so i go up to the lady and i'm like um because it was just said
50 off it didn't actually tell what the real price was and so she rings the lady and I'm like, because it was just said 50% off.
It didn't actually tell what the real price was.
And so she rings it in and it was like,
I forget what it was.
And I said to her, I was like,
are these like really good sheets?
And she doesn't even look up from the cash register.
She goes, yeah, they're all right.
And so we bought them.
And they're honestly, it's like being in a hospital bed oh that's great yeah
hospital bed goes up and down yeah no one no one gets better care for it very it's a very thick
almost like i'm not sure we bought cotton or a canvas oh yeah like too many threads yeah yeah
way too many threads yeah at that point when it becomes too many threads, it's canvas.
You know what else is funny?
It's too many cooks.
Oh, yeah.
Very funny.
Very fun.
Very funny.
So was this an anniversary trip that you were on or you just happened to be down?
Because do we have Macy's up here?
Do we?
No.
We just got Nordstrom.
Oh, boy.
Macy's is the bay. Still haven't made the trip.
Me neither. Macy's is the bay. Me neither.
Macy's is exactly the same as the bay.
Yeah, except instead of having Wayne Gretzky brand suits,
they have Ryan Seacrest brand suits.
I'm not joking.
Who would I rather dress like?
That's a tough call.
Because I don't think either of them are known as snappy dressers.
Ryan Seacrest looks fine.
He looks fine.
But I don't think they make suits for people
above 5'1".
Who do you think, who
doesn't have a suit
right now who should have a suit?
What do you mean?
Steve Harvey has his own line of suits.
Who do you want to,
who would you
absolutely say, yes, that's the
suit I'm going to buy because...
It's the character Hannibal in the TV show.
The kids from Stranger Things?
The TV show Hannibal.
Hannibal is dressed impeccably in every episode.
Okay.
So it's just like suits by Hannibal Lecter.
I would go with the Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
Mm-hmmdies because they make
these suits are so zooty
they're going to cause a riot
does Guy Ferreri have his own
does he have his own line of clothing
he has his own line of
sauces
that's a no brainer
and like finger licking
you can buy fingers
pre-dipped fingers why am I at thimbles And like finger licking. Yeah. He's his own friend. You can buy fingers. Yeah, you can buy fingers.
They're just like pre-dipped fingers.
Yes.
Why am I at Thimble's?
Yeah.
It's just a rubber glove that's been dipped in barbecue sauce and then you put it on.
Free sauce fingers.
He doesn't have flip flops.
No.
Which he should.
Or sunglasses he could have.
Or a hair dye.
He should do a partnership with Oakley.ops. No. Which he should. Or sunglasses he could have. Or a hair dye.
He should do a partnership with Oakley.
Sure.
Sure.
I don't think Oakley
would be too stoked on that.
I think they try
to be, you know,
athletic
and do skiing.
Less munchy.
Yeah.
Like,
wear them on the back
of your head.
I wonder if Oakley likes
that people do that.
Maybe they don't care.
Wear them to your wedding of your head. I wonder if Oakley likes that people do that. Maybe they don't care. Wear them to your wedding.
You're going to kiss the bride.
You better put them on the back of your head now.
Manufacturer's instructions.
So, Pat.
Yes.
We teased this book.
Okay.
Yeah.
Tell us a little.
What's the name of it?
Well, Dave, you helped write it.
I didn't write the title.
It's called the This Is That
Travel Guide to Canada.
And it's broken up into everything you need
to learn about Canada. Yes. I was there
because I co-wrote it.
Is my name on it? No.
Yes, it is. Well, it's inside.
But no one's authors
aren't on the cover. But if you go
to Amazon, it won't say
Dave Shumka.
The foreword by Dave Thomas.
Oh, nice.
From SCTV.
Bob and Doug McKenzie, Dave Thomas,
who's an old friend of ours.
And he, yeah, wrote this hilarious foreword.
And then... Can I ask a question about a foreword?
Yeah.
Does the person who writes the foreword
have to read the book?
No.
No, they can just say, I think this person is great, and have to read the book? No. No.
They can just say, I think this person is great.
And I think their book is going to be great.
And he wrote, well, I won't give away too much of his forward.
No, no.
Yeah.
You got to buy the book.
He wrote this hilarious forward, like sort of indicating that Peter and I, the other host of this is that we're are like these just obsessed, um, travelers who, who.
Right.
Sit around and, uh, you know, have all these
philosophies about what the travel does to one soul.
It was, it's really good.
And then the book inside is like, um, you know,
like a lonely planet or a rough guide.
Like if you're going to go visit Australia, you'd
in earnest by like a guide that's right.
When arriving at the airport, make sure like Australia airports are weird. You got to. Don't guide that's like, when arriving at the airport,
make sure like,
Australia airports are weird.
You gotta.
Don't,
don't buy a boomerang at the airport.
That's the most expensive
place to buy them.
Exactly.
That's the book.
So we did that
for all of Canada.
That's just,
it's all nonsense
and recommendations
for restaurants.
Places to go.
Places to go.
Things to see.
Museums.
How people behave.
How to interact
with your waiter.
Cause that's like
like
Monty Python
put out a bunch of books
kind of after
they made movies
and stuff
there's a whole series
of books they put out
that were really
really funny
yeah I mean
this was really fun
like to
yeah we
and we burned
through it
like
we gave each other
writing assignments
every week
yeah
and we would meet up
right at this very table.
Nice.
Go over them.
And punch down each other's jokes.
Not punch them up.
Yeah.
Punch them down.
Yeah.
That's what you're supposed to do.
You're supposed to punch down.
Right?
In comedy, you always punch those beneath you.
But the, yeah, I mean, it's like uh the you know the nature of the show this is that it's
like a parody of radio uh you know public radio kind of how many years on the air seven seven
years and the season's on right now yeah um but writing this made us realize like the function
of our show is to parody things that we could parody other books too. Like this is that self-help guide. This is that guide to finance.
This is that guide to, you know.
So this is relationships.
I think so.
Yeah.
I think we're going to, because it was fun.
Now, if anybody buys it, maybe it's not going to be so fun, but.
I got paid up front.
Yeah.
Dave's the only one who got his money up front.
Do you got, is it going to be on a Kindle?
Can I get it on a Kindle?
Yep.
Can I get it on a Mac?
Yep.
You can get it in your ears.
Oh, yeah.
It's a radio show, so they made an audio book.
So we made the audio book.
Smart.
Smart.
And Dave and you did the, no, just kidding.
Yeah, Dave and I wrote the afterword, the afterthought.
Yeah.
It hasn't been published yet, but we've got it's on my uh to do
it's on my thumb drive right write the index yeah oh yeah that would be cool to get a celebrity to
write the index index by tedious tediously going through the book and like finding words Page 83 Shelf I'm so Shelf I'm so glad
We got
Bill Murray
Bill Murray
To do the
Indict
Well that's cool
So I highly suggest
Writing a book
I don't know
You could do it
Especially with Dave
You could do it in a month
Yeah
We could just crank
What would we call our book
I
This is going to start The conversation of people listening to your program
wanting you to write a book.
Well, I want to publish a book of my Christmas coupons that I make every year,
but I'm a little late this year.
Oh, yeah, because like.
I want to do it upright.
I want to illustrate it.
I want to make.
He wants it to be bound not coil bound
leather bound
yeah we'll coil with a snake yeah
um so now you can add properly you can say author yeah if uh but i can't i can't pronounce author
yeah it's a it's not hard Otter Otter
That's a
Water mammal
Otter
From Canada
Yeah
Yeah no it's true
Otters are our national beaver
So yes
Author
Author
I can add it too
Do you think you'd ever
That's right
Yes
Yeah you can
Author
And ghost
Author
Dave is a ghost
Author
I'm a ghost writer Yeah like that uh percent of the
book would you say i wrote uh more than what a ghost um but doesn't a ghost writer write 100
of the book they're just while following the person around and like the guy who wrote art of
the deal yes trump wrote zero percent of that and this guy wrote a hundred oh yeah and he
came up with uh oh he came up with this ridiculous term for lying oh yeah it's what is called like
conflated something yeah yeah like factual exaggeration and the thing about that story
too is that he didn't want he got so tired and lazy of it. Trump was like,
I don't want to do this anymore.
You just do it.
And the guy was like,
okay.
So all he did was follow him around and like,
listen to what he was saying.
Yeah.
And then he took these little parts and then he molded them into like,
it was an instruction.
Yeah.
Into a philosophy.
Yeah.
That's just what we did for this book.
Like I just followed Dave around and he's like,
Oh,
Canada,
Oh,
rivers.
And I'm like,
Oh,
that's pretty good. You followed Dave around oh wow dave just muttering dave walked from
east coast of canada to the west coast of canada observing muttering i did it for charity yeah
oh it's a that's the name of the stripper
where is she now?
Did she set up camp here on the West Coast?
Oh, no, she passed.
Oh, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Set up a charity for charity.

Okay.
I didn't raise enough.
He was too busy muttering.
So now you're an author.
Yeah.
You've celebrated an anniversary.

Oh yeah.
And podcast.
And podcast.
Um, what else is happening?
I don't know.
Do you have any fun stories?
What else did you do in Texas?
Yeah. Um, Texas, you know, I didn't eat any barbecue.
Why not? This is the
because. It must have been
everywhere. You must have gone out of your way to not
eat it. Do you have many listeners in Austin?
We have some. Yeah, probably.
They're probably listening right now and going to be
super disappointed in the things I
referenced probably. That you didn't have.
Well, that I didn't have. Why were
you. Why? A very limited
window of time.
So you were in Texas for a wedding.
For a wedding.
One meal was obviously going to be.
At the wedding.
At the wedding.
At the wedding, sure.
So that's take out one meal.
Okay.
How many days are you there?
So Friday night.
Yeah.
But I missed the meal because I got in late.
Okay.
And there's no late night barbecue place.
Well, there was late night food truck at a bar we were at.
Okay.
So that was that.
I had a grilled cheese.
Okay.
Sure.
Which was delicious.
Yeah.
At a place called Stay Gold.
Stay Golden.
Sure.
Okay.
Gotcha.
Pony Pony.
Yeah.
And then we have a breakfast to deal with.
That doesn't count.
The day of the wedding.
That is a write-off.
No one, whatever.
Yeah.
Nobody's eating ribs for breakfast?
Well, they are.
They're, like, these barbecue places,
they sell out by, like, noon.
Yeah.
But here's the kicker, okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Give me the kicker.
The kicker's coming pretty early in the story.
The kicker's coming right now.
Here we go.
My wife is a vegetarian.
Uh-huh.
So,
I couldn't,
you know,
in good consciousness
say,
let's,
consciousness?
Conscious.
Yeah.
But also in consciousness.
I was,
you were awake.
Conscious.
I was awake at the time.
I was totally aware
of what I was doing.
Couldn't, you know, suggest the barbecue for breakfast.
Right.
Day of a wedding.
We had to go to a restaurant.
But, you know, she could have had cornbread.
She could have had greens.
Did you say cornbread?
Cornbread.
Yeah.
Cornbread.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Graham just went to Nashville and-
I ate cornbread.
And was a vegetarian.
Oh, you were a vegetarian too.
I had collard greens.
I had, what else did I have?
I don't like collard greens.
Well, you know, when you're in the neck of the woods, you got to have them.
Yeah.
Well, Austin-
You got to wear a collar on your neck.
But no, so here's the kicker.
I like V-neck greens.
Have I?
Wait, did you already do-
There's two kickers.
I thought you already did the kicker.
Okay.
Most of my stories have four kickers.
Yeah, so this is like-
More like a soccer team. Yeah, you're on the second kicker. So here's the the kicker. Okay. Most of my stories have four kickers. Yeah. So this is like more like a soccer team.
Yeah.
You're on the second kicker.
So here's the second kicker.
Got it.
Austin actually has a very good vegetarian slash vegan options.
That doesn't surprise me.
Yeah.
Hip sitting.
They're keeping it weird.
Yeah, they are.
And South by.
Oh, very much.
They're keeping it really South. Yeah. So very much. They're keeping it really South.
So South by.
They're keeping it exactly where it is.
They're keeping the spirit of South by the whole year.
Yeah.
So a lot of innovation.
Yeah.
In the breakfasts.
So here's the third kicker.
Wait, so you had a vegan breakfast?
No, no.
We went to just a normal breakfast place, but there was a dusting of barbecue on this Eggs Benedict I got.
What do you mean?
It was a little bit of brisket, but it wasn't like.
Okay.
They dried it out, powdered it, and dusted it on.
Dusted, yeah.
It wasn't like a full, the full experience of barbecue.
Then our next meal is the wedding.
Yeah.
Just regular wedding food.
No lunch?
Well, no, because we were like full.
The wedding started at like three.
Sure.
And maybe there were hors d'oeuvres.
You're going to kick yourself.

Turns out that's a bar and then the backyard is the patio of this bar.

And one of the things is the people from the fringe kind of hook you up with passes to all the things.
Universal Studios and Disney World.
And they went as adults.
And they said it was fun.
But I was like, was it?
Or were you just so committed to it being fun you
were skeptical of i'm skeptical that being fun an adult would have fun at disney world or land
you you mean like the way people lie about enjoying pixar movies i enjoy pixar movies
i mean not all of them i know there's you've heard about this like
I mean, not all of them.
I know.
You've heard about this, like, scenario where there's two guards guarding two different doors.
Yeah.
One of them always lies about liking Pixar movies.
One of them always tells the truth.
Do you think people lie about liking Pixar movies? I think they act as though there's more in there for adults.
I think you're right about that.
They convince themselves that they're better than they are.
That's interesting.
I mean, the last one that I saw was the last Toy Story one. about that. They convince themselves that they're better than they are. That's interesting.
I mean, the last one that I saw was the last Toy Story one.
Was this one

Oh, inside out? That was Pixar, right?
That was Pixar. Yeah, because that's one everybody
was like. I think that would be
amazing. That's how everyone says it.
It's a very good educational film.
But they already did that with
Osmosis Jones. Nobody remembers this movie. They already. But they already did that with Osmosis Jones.
Nobody remembers this movie. They already did it with Herman's head.
Osmosis Jones.
Yeah, it was Chris Rock.
It was inside Bill Murray's body.
Why wasn't it called Inside Bill Murray's Body?
I know.
It would be a classic.
Because who's Osmosis Jones?
Is he the Johnny Mnemonic for my generation?
He's the guy who ran inside Bill Murray's body.
He was like a cab driver inside Bill Murray's body.
Oh, okay.
And then it was all like Bill Murray's body was like the streets of New York?

No, I mean, if you're just, I could see.
Promise you won't be offended, Graham.
I could see like a Seth Rogen being.

He's become a serious actor.
James Franco? No, the other guy. Jonah Hill?
Jonah Hill, thank you.

going inside your body?
Osmosis Jones.

Okay, so.
It would be Bill Murray inside of me, but it would be Osmosis Jones.
So he shrunk down Bill Murray and then Osmosis Jones.
Osmosis Jones is even smaller.
He's inside Osmosis Jones.
I would pick, for me, it would be Orlando Jones.
Oh, yes.
Very good at that.
I would say more of an Orlando Bloom.
Well, we should all be so lucky.
If I could fit him inside me.
He's got a nice horn.
Dave, what's going on with you, man?
Oh, boy.
Guys, well, apparently my phone is already blowing up with people mad about what I said about Pixar.

Like some people walking around with chicken and waffles on a skewer.
Those were good, actually.
A little much for a skewer.

So you went, that's two brew stops all in the same day?
Yeah.
And then I was...
And you dropped some E when, went all day raving?

Yeah, if afternoon drinking is the way to go,
be home in time to put your baby to bed.
I love it.
And I wanted to get there by baby bedtime.
So I didn't even try to take a SkyTrain.
Yeah.
I just hopped in a cab and found out that the SkyTrains were stopped.
Oh, nice.
Because someone had jumped on the track.
Oh, that's not as nice.
I mean, nice that you grabbed a cab, avoided the whole scene.
And there were two.
It was right at sort of at the stadium station where there's an arena and a stadium.
There was a football game and a basketball game, like within a couple hours of each other.
And so it was.
A basketball game?
Yeah, there was a big exhibition game between the Raptors and the Warriors.
Cool.
Wow.
Which those two things in real life would never fight each other.
A warrior and a raptor.
Well, if they had lived in the same time, they would have.
Yeah.
Ever heard of Turok?
Yeah.
Was there warriors during the raptor era?
Well, no.
Wait.
No.
Do you consider Tyrannosaurus Rex a warrior?
No.
You don't?

lizard yeah yeah yeah yeah thank you is that what tyrannosaurus no it's he's a tyrant lizard
so this is what dinosaur basketball team names were back like yes so the raptors were just like
if we had a basketball team called the humans right yeah it's it's not great but the t-rexes
were warrior the warriors yes it was like the tyrannosaurus came out and played well the humans. Right. Yeah. It's not great, but the T-Rexes were the
warriors. Yes. It was like the Tyrannosaurus
Rex warrior. Because they came out and played. Well, the
the raptors,
they formed the Toronto Raptors
in like 1995. Yeah.
Jurassic Park
was still hot. Dinosaurs couldn't
have been bigger. What if they had done it,
what if they waited, you know,
five years? Or what if they had started it the year the big chill came out? Yeah, sure. What if they had done it, what if they waited, you know, five years? Or what if they had started it the year
the big chill came out? Yeah, sure.
What if they had done it, um...
What would
the big chill have been? The Toronto chillers?
The Toronto white guys?
White fans of Motown? The Toronto
boomers? The Toronto boomers?
The Toronto cooks?
Let's make a
pasta sauce. Like, is there going to be a sports team in the next
couple years called the whomever guardians of the galaxy yeah or superhero movies uh we are the
superheroes well like uh yeah i think well because when anaheim got their team as the mighty ducks
true no ninja turtles were the raptors could have been the ninja turtle yeah a few years earlier it
would have been turtles the turtles that would have been cool there i don't think i can think
are there any sports team named the turtles no not not a species known for its speed. Or they cower, they hide too. A turtle
gets scared, they go into their shell.
Yeah.
Unless you're a team that's proudly announcing
What about salamanders?
Is their team the Sacramento Salamanders?
I mean, I'm not asking is their team
from Sacramento called the Salamanders.
Can I answer that one? No.
In your mind, what's the
best translation of a scary animal to sports name?
Like an animal that you're scared of and that you think, oh, yeah, that's a great name for a sport.
What animals am I scared of?
The sharks?
The San Jose Sharks?
Yeah, sharks.
Sharks seem like that was a long time coming that there was a team named the Sharks.
You know what, honestly, the animal I'm most afraid of?
Bedbugs.
I'll say this. The animal that I'm most afraid of? Bed bugs. I'll say this.
The animal that I'm most afraid of when I actually see one?
Skunk.
Yeah.
So there's a good team.
Yeah.
Sacramento skunks.
Cougars are pretty good.
They scare me.
Cougars?
Yeah, but there's no...
You mean like an older lady?
Yeah.
Here's a single gal.
I saw a video yesterday that my friend posted on Facebook of a guy filming himself just
after being attacked by a bear.
Oh, yeah.
Woo.
Woo.
My God.
No, thanks.
Just randomly was filming himself in a bear.
No, people film themselves all the time now.
Yeah.
Snapchat.
So he was Snapchatting his hike?
No, he was attacked by a bear like
where it on a hiking trail around here round around these parts and uh uh did the pepper spray
but it didn't stop the bear from like getting his arm and like slashing his head and he's like i'm
on my way to the hospital and he looked like he could still walk and talk.
So he was fine.
He was going to be fine, but still like,
No, thanks.
Pretty shocked.
No, thanks.
Walking, talking, feeling shocking.
Yeah.
How do you let a bear know that you love it?
It's so funny.
I have not made this leap in my life to
have the impulse to videotape myself
after something crazy happens.
I barely have the thought to take a picture
of something crazy.
Yeah, I'm the same.
Yeah, videotape yourself.
Would you take a video of something crazy
happening to someone else?
Because I know you're not going to run in and help.
I know what you mean.
That's occurred to me, actually.
I can't think of it off the top of my head,
but I remember being in situations
where something crazy is happening
and you see other people start filming.
Well, they got those Snapchat glasses
that are on their way.
What?
Yeah, Snapchat putting out their own brand of sunglasses.
They've got little cameras in them,
and they look...
Two cameras.
Two cameras, and they look good.
Unlike the Google Glass that looked
very silly. These look like cool
sunglasses. So the kids are going to be
videotaping you getting attacked by bears
all over the place.
Wow. Yeah. Okay. Let's do it.
Here's the kicker. I don't want to do it.
Good kicker.
Yeah, so had a fun day out. out fun a fun baby's day out yeah you went on a construction beam and then it landed you on a thing and you landed in a
full of pillows sure roger rabbit was trying to that's a different baby but but same same
rules apply i guess i never saw Baby's Day Out.
I only saw that Roger Rabbit short.
Yeah.
And I've seen the video box for Baby's Day Out.
But I'm really picturing baby genius.
They've got glasses.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A bunch of babies with glasses.
Therefore, they're smart.
Just their eyes are dumb.
Yeah.
Well, that's pretty good.
What's going on with you?
Well, a couple couple weeks ago uh i talked about uh going to the dentist and having this dentist basically treat my
cleaning like an hour-long infomercial for getting an electric toothbrush oh i know where this story
is going yeah so guess who got himself an electric toothbrush were you celebrating your 10th
anniversary with someone the The electric toothbrush.
My teeth.
These babies have only, I only got my adult teeth when I was 26.
And baby teeth up until then, very hard to date.
Very hard to date because I couldn't eat anything, no toffee apples.
I was afraid of pulling them out.
I thought you meant very hard to date.
Oh, like anthropologically speaking?
Yeah, like no one wants to date me.
I have baby teeth.
No, that's what I meant.
Very hard to date so you couldn't eat caramel apples on dates?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Isn't that what you do on dates, guys?
It's been a while.
That's the first date protocol.
Yeah.
Let's go to the fair, eat a candy apple.
Let's eat the worst thing that makes everybody look so uncomfortable.
Yeah, but then you're seeing them at their worst,
and then you don't deserve them at your best.
You've cracked open a tooth.
Yeah.
You're adorable.
I've only seen the show.
Second date, please.
I've only seen the show Blind Date,
so as far as I'm concerned,
the only things you do on a date are mechanical ball, sumo suit, and hot tubs.
See, I know dating from the fifth wheel, and so I assume it's just a big limo with five people, right?
How did the fifth wheel work?

Yeah yeah
Like but they weren't
The two and two weren't like They've been together for seven years We're gonna see It was like, I'm going with the sexy fifth wheel. Yeah, yeah. But the two and two weren't like,
they've been together for seven years.
We're going to see.
It was like they'd maybe gone on one date with each other.
So it was like everybody was kind of willing
to throw somebody underneath the fifth wheel.
And then wasn't there,
something happened on a bus too?
Wasn't there a bus in it?
Well, no, it was a big suburban SUV thing.
Remember?
I don't. I remember them getting on a bus. It was a bus., it was a big, like, suburban SUV thing. Remember? I don't.
I remember them getting on a bus.
Maybe it was a bus.
But then it was like, it was up to the fifth wheel to realize
they were the fifth wheel and be like, I'm out of
here. And they would always end up crying.
Yeah, they were like, I was on here and I thought
Graham and I were...
And then Dave showed up and now
I'm the one who's got to go.
Yeah.
And then people would be like,
fifth wheel.
You got fifth wheel.
You were crying.
Dating shows in my eye will never get old.
As long as they come up with a new,
just even the slightest novelty.
Undercover boss dating.
Undercover blouse.
What?
No, that's a good one
where you go on a date.
Undercover of darkness.
You're cheating on your spouse,
but then it's the spouse
that you're cheating with
and it's sponsored by
Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.
No, it's Leo Sayers.
It's a Leo Sayer?
No, he's whatever who writes
Pina Colada. Isn't Whatever who write Pina Colada.
Isn't that...
The Pina Colada song.
Oh, yeah.
Isn't that Jimmy Buffett?
Pina Colada song?
No, who's the Pina Colada song?
Do you like...
Yeah, maybe it is Leo Sayer.
I don't really...
I don't...
It's Leo...
You know, I used to, when I was younger, sidebar here.
Sidebar.
Rupert Holmes.
I used to sing that song.
I like penis a lot
that's a fun
it's fun
fun
it's fun
it's fun
so okay
Leo Sayre is
you make me feel
like dancing
I'm gonna dance
that way
I
so I got myself
this electric toothbrush
I hate it
I hate it
it just vibrates my head.
I don't...
What do people get out of this?
Like, I'm a good...
I'm a good toothbrusher.
I like getting in there.
I like working the angles.
See, I...
You'll get used to it.
Do you think?
You're an electro?
Yeah.
I've had mine long enough that the rubber is coming off.
They die.
I'm sure it'll die one day.
I'm on my second.
Oh, okay.
The first one died.
Third one's cotton.
So you don't move it, right?
You just hold it in that quadrant.
You move it a bit.
Yeah, you move it.
But you're not brushing it.
No, no, no.
It's just like... Yeah, it brushing it no no no but it's just
like yeah it's just like not even oscillating it's just like like this i've got two toothbrushes
um uh here's what it gives you yeah two minutes where you can just shut your mind off oh no i feel
uh it's rattling my head so it's just it's it's, that's just, that's, you're just new to this.
You know, you guys all remember when you first used it and then rattling was very,
it felt intense.
Now you'll come to want that feeling.
Oh,
yeah.
Then what if you're somewhere without electricity?
But I feel like this is interesting that the dentists are now pushing these
because when I first started using it,
well,
yeah,
the hygienist was like,
yeah,
they're fine.
You can do with with a regular toothbrush.
My dentist pretty much just came in and looked at me from the hallway and said, good.
I don't understand what dentists do sometimes.
They put their name on a card and they tell you to come in every six months.
Yeah, that's true.
I've never had.
Do you think this is partially, do you have problems with your teeth?
Yes.
Oh.
Very much so.
Okay.
Never mind then.
Why?
I don't. Never had anything.
It's all, it's gotta all just be
genetic, right? I was gonna say
I thought it was because we grew up in a city
that had fluoride. Oh. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, no, I've
had, I have fillings in
most of my teeth and had to
have them, like, replaced several times
and stuff like that, so. Bad, bad
situation all around.
But I'm good at the, I'm good.
Brusher, flosser, all that stuff.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's the one I get in trouble for.
You don't floss?
I try to every time.
That's where I shut my brain off.
Then I'm just in the floss zone.
When I'm flossing.
Apparently that's the thing to do.
What?
Because your gums need you to floss.
Yeah.
Although there was just a thing that said don't do it anymore.
I know, but it's too late.
I'm already on the floss track.
And it makes a difference.
Yeah.
Growing up, I had a friend whose dad was a dental equipment salesman.
Uh-huh.
And-
A DES?
Do you remember the water pick?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Big mess on my mirror.
Totally unnecessary.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Big mess on my mirror.
Totally unnecessary.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's, you know, when electric toothbrushes came out, that must have been the biggest thing in, you know, modern tooth sales. But is it a water pick scenario?
In another five years, are they going to be like, these electric toothbrushes are unnecessary?
Well, I was told, I've been told both by different dental hygienists.
Yes, electric toothbrush.
No electric toothbrush.
I'm not sure it was the biggest thing
because they, like,
tooth cleaning is
the most advertised thing
on TV. It's always something that
whitens or desensitizes
or shaving. Shaving is up there too.
Yeah, shaving's up there too. Shaving your teeth?
Shaving off, like, just to make them fangs? That's essentially what you're doing. It's Halloween again. Shave down up there too. Yeah, shaving's up there too. Shaving your teeth? Yeah. Shaving off like just to make them fangs?
It's essentially what you're doing.
It's Halloween again.
Shave down those teeth.
That's what Schick should
or Gillette should do
is introduce a razor
that has a blade
that does your teeth too.
Oh yeah.
So it gets your mustache
and then you just
leave your mouth open.
Do you think there's
a seventh blade that like
Yeah.
Do you think there is
someone at Gillette
who is like an engineer and has made this super sharp blade that will never go dull.
And the marketing department is just like, we don't know how to sell that.
Can you just add more blades?
Yeah.
More blades, maybe like some sort of grip.
That's another thing.
Oh, and that vibrating as well.
A shaver that vibrates?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or it has a blue strip that tells you that, or gives you moisture, apparently.
And when the blue strip dries up, you get yourself a new blade, buddy.
Oh, yeah.
But like, I know in like...
You don't have this problem.
No, no, no.
Is this why you did this?
Huh?
Grew a beard?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, not liking shaving is part of it.
Got it.
I did not like it as a ritual.
But you don't like brushing your teeth now, so are you going to grow your teeth out?
I might.
I might grow out my natural tusks.
So, yeah, I don't know.
If you guys say that I'm going to get used to it, that this is just part of the hazing of the electric toothbrush movement, then I'll stay the course.
I'll go the distance you know when margo before margo had teeth she loved it she would just like when
i go when she was teething yeah oh sure she would just vibrate it all up and down them you know
who's terrified of them as dogs oh yeah my dog is terrified of the electric toothbrush yeah sometimes
i'll get right do you use it yeah well yeah like why face with it. Do you use it? Yeah, well, yeah.
Like, why do you use it on your dog?
You've got a separate one for the dog.
No, I just, I'll have it in my mouth, and I'll get down on the floor while doing it right beside her, and she just doesn't understand what's happening.
You know, that seems mean.
Yeah, that's aggressive.
It's a couple seconds, guys.
It's a couple seconds.
If you asked a dog what would be the most terrifying mascot for a sports team?
A man with a toothbrush.
Or a vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum.
Or a person on a skateboard.
Or, yeah, or the San Fernando fireworks.
Yeah, the Denver doorbells.
Should we move on to overheards?
Yeah.
Ty is a pedantic person.
I think when he pronounces these words, it's in a very show-offy way.
Gyro.
Gyro.
Sacrebleu.
Sacrebleu.
Ayers Rock.
Uluru.

So this is a
I'm hoping there's a kicker to this
Before I start
Let me just tell you from experience
There's probably a few
Yeah
Do you know
Just to give a preface a little bit
You guys know
But maybe your listeners don't
Know about the Nooners at the Nat
No
These are Baseball games Single A baseball games't know about the Nooners at the Nat? Uh, no. These are
single-A baseball games
played at Noon. Fun.
And then everybody goes home and has
sex. Yeah.
Did somebody say sex?
So it's the Nooner. They call the game the Nooner.
I was at a coffee
shop once this
summer in sort of late August and overheard this woman talking with another woman very seriously about a relationship problem.
And she said nooner probably like 15 times without realizing how ridiculous she said it.
So I'll do an impression.
She was like, it was so weird.
I got a text from him and he was like it was so weird i like got a text
from him and he was like you should come to the nooner tomorrow and i was like the nooner like i
don't that's like we just got in a huge fight and anyway he kept saying like come to the nooner come
to the nooner so i was like okay fine i texted him back i said okay we'll go to the nooner so
we're like at the nooner and it's like really weird because i'm like oh my god i'm at the
nooner with him and he is like trying to make up with me and he's,
you know,
trying to watch the game.
And I'm like,
I'm thinking to myself like,
what the fuck am I doing at the nooner?
She just kept going on and on and on.
And,
uh,
I was just sort of keeping this score in my mind of how many times she said
nooner.
And that's my over.
I love it.
I love it. And good act out. her. I love it. I love it.
And good act out.
Yeah.
And it really, is that over?
Is the baseball season done?
Yeah, we have a really short season here.
Yeah.
For single A's.
I think it ends in the beginning of September.
Yeah.
End of August.
Yeah.
Because everybody's doing their nooners at school.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But she was really just like in earnest telling this very dramatic story about the problem
with this guy and nooner, Nooner, Nooner.
Oh, yeah.
Just the whole boy.
It would be funny if she, could we think of a funnier word than Nooner?
Like Nooner is pretty good, but like.
The Nooner.
But, you know, he wouldn't go down them.
Yeah.
Like a funny. Slip to go down them. Yeah.
Like a funny.
A slip and dip.
Yeah, yeah.
So he texted me and was like, can you come in the slip and dip tomorrow?
Yeah, yeah. Slip and dip.
Or what's a.
Cougamonga.
Yeah, yeah.
Splashdown Park.
That's why I'm at Splashdown Park.
Yeah.
And then I said, well, we're in a fight.
Why would I go to Splashdown Park?
Why would I go to Splashdown Park?
That's close now.
Yeah.
Close forever.
Yeah.
This was the last summer.
Our last water park
The last local water park
Well I suppose you could go to whatever
Cultist Lake
Sure
I don't
Come on
Or the ocean
They don't have slides
They don't have slides
And it's cold
And there's also
You could get a fish
Could touch a wiener
Yeah I could get a fish
A fish could do
Inside Bill Murray
Yeah yeah exactly
Fish
Love getting in people's butts.
Oh, boy.
Fish can do the old Osmosis Jones.
That's why they put that netting in the bathing suit.
Yeah, in your swim trunks.
Yeah, so you can catch a lobster.
Dave, do you have an overheard?
Mine is from that day.
The day that I talked about earlier.
I was downtown.
This is your greatest day.
This is Dave's day out.
Dave's day out.
I stepped off a beam
and fortunately another beam
showed up under my butt.
Oh, absolutely.
When I got out of the SkyTrain
to go see Pat and Chris
and friends,
there was a woman,
a busker with electricity.
Like she had an electric guitar and a microphone busker goes
electric yeah so judas pete seger was there trying to take a an axe to her uh the mixing board was
it pete seger had the guitar this machine no what he got his passengers
um anyway so this is a woman, singer songwriter was playing.
Yeah.
And then I went.
Originals?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
I didn't, I didn't catch that, what she was playing at the time.
Oh, so the overheard wasn't her music.
Not yet.
Okay.
So then I went and went to your party for, I think, uh, two hours or however long I was obliged to go.
I don't know.
It was really, you guys were like, no one can leave.
Until we all get a selfie.
Until we all do a video.
Let's all put our shoes in the middle and take pictures of our shoes.
Friends.
So, two hours later, I left the party.
This woman's still out there playing her songs.
And as I walked past her, I just heard her introduce the next song she was going to play.
And I just heard her say, going to sing a song for you.
This song was inspired by Celine Dion and Rene.
So it wasn't written by Celine Dion.
No, it's inspired by their love.
It's just their love and life together.
Wow.
Hey, man, that's pretty much my every day.
Look, her songs are torn from the headlines,
just like a Law & Order episode.
I saw an ad for modern day Celine Dion.
Is she still in Vegas?
I don't know what this ad was for. a tour i think she's on tour but yeah but most most ads you see for her are for
not modern yeah it's on ad for like old timey she hasn't learned english yet but she in the ad
she does the highest kick and i was like i don't remember that being a part of what song would she kick during
oh i guess she does a cover of jump yeah like a crazy rock kick like but a very high oh yeah
maybe she's doing uh might as well jump that's oh is that what that song is called? Jump. Oh. Yeah. No, she's very, she gives her.
I know she gives her, but a lot of her songs don't give to kicking.
Well, yeah, but no, she'll do a triumphant thing.
What's her most triumphant song that has a moment that.
Titanic song.
Wherever you are.
Yeah.
Kicks a soccer ball into the ice. There's Rod Stewart in it. I had, I'm kicking a soccer ball into the ice.
It's Rod Stewart in it.
I'm very flexible.
Yeah.
You can touch your dick.
Well, with your hand.
I'm so flexible, I can touch my dick with my hand.
I'm so flexible, I can touch my dick with permission.
But I can kick quite high, and i was just walking in my house and i
saw myself in the mirror and i decided to kick really high yeah and then i tried to kick high
with my other leg and i couldn't and i was i got very sad i was like oh no it's it's all going yeah
yeah and then i realized oh i just had keys in my pocket. Took them out. Super high kick. Still got the kicks.
Wherever you are, boom.
Take that.
Boom, lights.
Flashpots.
Does anybody in this room know another Celine Dion song?
Yeah, that one, it's all coming back to me, back to me now.
Is there a kick in it?
Probably.
Yeah, I guess that would be a good one to have a kick in it.
I'm going uh pull her up
i mean this i feel uh oh she sings might as well kick yeah that's true yeah uh kick it
kick it to the limit yeah the power of love uh power of love is a curious thing oh yeah i know
that one yeah yeah back to the Future. I don't know.
I pulled her.
All her songs would just have these titles that you wouldn't even know what the song is.
The only reason I know it's all coming back to me now is because it had a really epic music video.
Right.
And it was right in the pocket of when music videos were million dollar budget. But like her Vegas show.
And it was a meatloaf song as well.
Yeah. Her Vegas show must be like a party, not like come here and cry.
But I think people do go
you know, because that was the first time they gave
somebody a handjob was during the Titanic movie.
Right.
That's when I give someone a flip job.
Do you think there's like a kitsch factor to going to Celine Dion
in Vegas? Absolutely.
Going to see Britney or you know.
Oh. I'm everything I am going to Celine Dion in Vegas. Absolutely. The same way they're going to see Britney or, you know, whatever.
I'm everything I am.
Because you love me.
Swap kicks.
Hi-ya.
She brings out a UFC guy.
Kicks him in the face.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is my song, Ground and Pound.
She wouldn't have to.
She goes, hi She goes high kicks.
Muay Thai woman.
I'm a Muay Thai woman.
Do Vegas acts ever do mashups?
Yeah.
Like you have like Carrot Top visiting Celine's show. They're all buddies.
I know that.
Well, maybe not Celine, but I know that, you know, like Carrot Top and Chris Angel are good buddies.
Sure.
Same with Penn and Teller.
They all hang.
Well, Penn and Teller are good buddies.
Yeah.
No, no.
They don't talk.
They take.
They don't talk.
Well, Teller does talk.
Teller's giving the silent review.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Graham, do you have an order?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was waiting to get on the ferry to Victoria, BC.
This is a boat.
This is a boat.
And we, myself and Ben McGinnis, who I was working with that weekend, we missed the ferry.
So we had to sit in the, there's like a food court, basically.
Oh, yeah.
They've set up on the ferry terminal.
I know what you mean. And, I mean, it's, you know, it's a tough choice because everything in there is going
to make you not feel good.
Mm-hmm.
But I was eating Chinese food, worst possible choice, I think.
And there was a couple next to me that were, the entire time I was sitting next to them,
were talking about their retainers.
The entire time I was sitting next to them, we're talking about their retainers.
And the girl was talking about how she doesn't like wearing it overnight.
And then the guy was like, oh, but I always do.
I always wear mine overnight.
And she goes, yeah, I don't. And then she had a moment and she was like, oh, I think I left my retainer at home.
So they were doing
all this retainer talk.
And then she suddenly realized
no retainer.
So you're going to
have to wake up
halfway through the night,
put his retainer in
because otherwise
her teeth are going to move.
What if your teeth
were so volatile
that if you missed one night
without your retainer?
Oh boy.
Anyways,
so that was, she realized halfway through. I don't even have a retainer. I've been talking a big retainer. Oh, boy. Anyways, so that was, she realized halfway through.
I have a retainer.
I've been talking a big retainer game this whole time.
Oh, yeah?
You know so much about your retainer.
Where is it right now?
Well, I, yeah, it's 4 a.m.
What's your retainer doing?
My retainer, when I was, I never wore my retainer,
and I kept telling my orthodontist that I did.
Yeah, sure.
Whatever.
Yeah.
Keep that lie alive.
I was the one that made my braces and everything come off because I came back from the orthodontist, and he was like, looking good.
Everything's looking great.
We're right on track.
We've got to add some elasticsastics or whatever yeah we're doing good
yeah it's how we do on fun colors i went to my dad and i said i think we're being scammed here
because i'm gonna be honest with you i don't wear any of this shit that he tells me i have to wear
even your braces like the i had a headgear and all this stuff and he said as soon as you got home
you broke up your braces dad i'm not even wearing
those so the next the next week my dad made an appointment and told them to take the my braces
off so you're you're like an investigative you're like scams and flames i was a scams and flames
good for you um but that's yeah my retainer was in its plastic thing beside my bed for like a year.
I broke my retainer at one point and my parents made me pay for a new one.
And they are expensive.
Because they don't keep the mold.
They got to remold your face.
Oh, really?
They broke the mold with you.
I wore mine all the time.
Although, when I graduated high school, I still had my retainer and I still wore it at night.
I wonder if I still have my retainer.
If you had a retainer, would it still fit?
I don't know.
I know what I'm doing the next time I go to my parents' house.
But I never got the okay to stop wearing it or anything.
No one at MIT is wearing it.
Are they?
Yeah.
But yeah, that's what I mean.
I mean, so that's what I came clean with my father and said,
this guy keeps telling us that we're making great progress
and everything's working.
And I'm telling you, I'm not wearing any of this stuff.
And dad, he makes me take my shirt off.
What's that about?
Why is he always x-raying my chest?
I'll put an elastic around that, too.
Yeah, I just, I never kept, that was my problem is that I would, you know, because you have to pop it out to eat or whatever.
And so I just throw it in my pocket.
I didn't put it in the case because if you walked around, it would rattle in the case.
And I did not like that.
So that's how I broke my.
Attention on your retainer.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm trying to. I still wear my night guard. Yeah.
It's got real chomp marks on it.
I'm going to bite through it one of these days.
And that means that you win. Once you
bite through your, you're done.
You get free dentistry for life.
Your face goes on the wall of fame.
Now we also have overheard sent in to us
by people from all over the place
Good tooth episode
Yeah really good tooth talk
If you want to send one in to us
You can send it in to spy at maximumfun.org
This first one comes from
Tyler D
In Springfield, Missouri
I came into the office this morning
And overheard two women talking about the weekend
Woman one Did you hear Arnold Palmer died?
Woman two, oh no, I love Arnold Palmers.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Usually you go back in time for these overheards.
This is a recent one.
Yeah.
Well, I figured I saw it and I was like, this one needs current.
Yeah, this is important.
It's true.
There is a whole group of people out there that are sad because they think the drink will stop now.
Yeah.
The day when I found out he died, I was like, oh, I'll celebrate.
I'll celebrate.
Finally, I'm free.
With an Arnold Palmer.
But I didn't have any of it.
We think we just had lemonade.
Here's the question.
Is an Arnold Palmer, like a traditional Arnold Palmer, does it have booze in it?
No.
It's just lemonade and iced tea.
50-50, yeah.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Because there was a woman in Texas who ordered one at like 8.30 in the morning next to me, and I was like, ooh.
But that's still, you shouldn't be drinking that much sugar at 8.30 in the morning.
But they are refreshing.
Yeah, but they're not a breakfast drink.
Well, you could have a booze drink.
He drinks a breakfast drink.
He drinks a lunch drink.
Then he eats a sensible dude.
Oh, it's an Arnold.
You know what it is?
This is the joke.
This is an Arnold Palmer with boozes called the John Daly.
There it is.
That's fun.
Yeah.
May he rest in peace.
John Daly died?
Oh.
Yeah.
Never got a drink named after him.
Such long drives.
He was the bad boy wasn't he john
daly yeah bad boy of golf um this next one comes from kareen k my friend's kid to her younger
brother at bedtime never go downstairs in the middle of the night the easter bunny might be down there and he'll claw you sure i don't know terrifying imagery for a child there's
never been a horror movie based on the easter bunny to my knowledge i'm sure there has yeah i'm
i'm that sounds very familiar like i'm picturing yeah like a scary bunny uh yeah um is it like an
apex twin video or something well there was a scary bunny in that movie Donnie Darko.
Yeah, that's what it is.
That's what I'm hearing.
I'm picturing blood.
Did it claw people?
Well, there was the bunny in the Monty Python.
No.
That's also what I'm thinking.
Holy Grail, where the bunny attacks them.
Attacks them, yeah.
Those are the only two.
What energizer bunny.
What would be more
scary to you as a child?
A scary bunny, like the Easter bunny
horror movie? Or the Tooth Fairy
horror movie? Starring Larry the Cable
Guy?
The Rock was in the original, and Larry
the Cable Guy was in the sequel.
That's a step up.
For the franchise, if you say.
Those guys are adorable goofball big guys i would be scared if the rock
was in my bedroom yeah and i was a kid with no teeth or 26 when i lost my chance but go full
horror uh yeah the two like a tooth yeah go fujo like a tooth fairy that comes in the night and does Saw style, like pulls out your teeth?
Yeah, yeah.
Or an Easter bunny that sticks an egg in your butt?
Yeah.
Like an egg full of nails.
Or an egg that then hatches and it's a crocodile that runs into your butt.
Yeah, a lot of Muscle Jones in there.
Tooth fairy, I think,
would be more scary. Agreed.
I'm glad we all agree.
Absolutely.
This last one comes from
Jonathan D. This is in
Pickering, Ontario.
I just
now overheard
a teacher address his
civics class about civic duty and action he was speaking about
the wrongs done to individuals by others in society and that sometimes wrongs are truly by
accident as he is explaining that a wrong a harm done to one individual to by one individual to
another can truly be by accident a student interrupts to inform the class,
I was an accident.
Excuse me, teacher, if I could interject.
I have somewhat of expertise on this issue.
I'm a bit of an accident.
I'm an expert in this.
Because my whole existence is.
Are you an accident?
Am I an accident?
Aren't we all accidents?
No.
I mean, cosmically speaking.
Yes.
Oh, sure.
Well, you know, we're made of star stuff.
No.
If we plan to have our babies.
Not the exact every minute of it.
Sort of.
You're like, tonight's the night.
Boom, boom, boom.
And then nine months later, kaboom.
Yeah, no.
Nine months later, here's the kicker.
Baby.
When we talk about accidental wrongs in society, the first thing that came to mind is when, like, I'll accidentally step on Abby's heel and her shoe will come off.
Yep.
And that's truly an accident. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
You know, like some people, it's, accident denotes something bad.
Like a pale falling on your head.
Yeah.
You know, that's an accident.
Unless it was placed there by prankster Howie Mandel.
Sure.
In which case, it's not in there.
In which case,
take this bucket
off my head
so I can see
the hidden camera.
Oh, it's in his glasses.
How he do it.
In addition,
over...
So, like,
with these Snapchat glasses,
everything's a prank show now.
Everything's a
Howie do it.
Right.
They should rename
Snapchat
Howie Chat.
Howie Chat.
Oh, they should. Snap Mandel. Right. They should rename Snapchat how we do it. Snapchat. Oh, they should.
Snapmandal.
Yeah.

Hello, Dave and Graham and guests. My name is addy and i'm calling in with an overheard so i work at a community college but in a position that like
takes me into high schools a lot so i was at one high school today and i heard half a conversation
between two kids in the hallway um so I heard one kid say to the other,
I would take so many chances if I lived inside a volcano.
If I lived inside a volcano, I would be a bold man.
Yeah.
I mean, it's bold to buy real estate inside a volcano.
Sure.
Because you really, you plan the market.
You made that choice.
Yeah.
I mean, it really is that's
a bubble that's going to burst oh yeah a bubble of plasma yeah of plasma isn't that is it magma
magma who wait what's the plasma is a television what are the tvs made out of magma magma magma magma vox plasma plasma is blood platelets yeah yeah it's the human
volcano oh sure that was my wrestling name where else could you live that would you proudly
pronounce you're a bold man like you know under the sea old man yeah above the sea like on one of your stilts like your house is on stilts above
the sea oh sure if i lived in a i mean tokyo i'd be a bold man oh what about buckingham palace yeah
you'd be pretty bold or in moving in like um a catapult that's oh yeah any minute now and there's
a there's a guy there just working away with a butter knife. Yeah, or he's trying
to hold it in place so you don't fly away
but he's sweating. Oh yeah. Or like
on a game of perfection.
Yes, if you live on a game of perfection.
That's all the problematic bubble?
No, that's trouble. Oh yes. But pop
goes perfection.
I remember
that from school.
Here's your next phone call, Fraser.
Hi, Dave and Graham.
This is Linda calling from Greater Vancouver.
I teach kindergarten, and we were getting ready for the Terry Fox run.
And I said to my students, oh, can anyone tell me something about Terry Fox or tell me who Terry Fox is?
And one of the students raises his hand, and I asked him, and he said, oh, Terry Fox is a guy who had cancer.
He hacked off his own leg.
So I guess we have some work to do there.
Thanks.
Yeah, he was our equivalent of the guy from Moby Dick.
Ishmael.
I thought you were going to say the guy from 127 Hours.
Oh, yeah, but that was his arm, though.
Different body part.
Well, different country.
Yeah, that's true.
I was just thinking, actually, last night for some reason, that if you said the phrase Terry Fox Run, that for people from America, they would go.
Well, they do them around the world.
Do they?
But I don't think it's that famous.
In the 80s, he ran across Canada.
He had lost his leg to cancers. He ran across Canada. He had lost his leg to cancer and he ran across.
Ran across Canada.
He ran a marathon a day to raise money.
But he didn't finish it.
No.
No, because of Thunder Bay.
Yeah.
And he, they made a movie like about it.
And it's like a very famous actor plays his dad in it.
Whoever was driving the van. I can't remember who it is, but it's like a very famous actor plays his dad in it. Whoever was driving the van.
I can't remember who it is, but it's like.
Is it Leslie Nielsen?
Yeah.
No, that was in the parody version that came later.
Sure.
But it's anyways.
Yeah.
That's a thing that happens.
I didn't realize it.
It happens around the world.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So maybe people do know what it is.
Anyways, I don't know what it is anyways i don't
know what people know that kid didn't know enough yeah come on five-year-old get it together here's
your final overheard hello this is dominic from denver i'm a high school english teacher and i
was chaperoning a dance when uh i overheard a student say to his five or six friends,
hey, everybody, put your hands in,
at which point he went one, two, three,
and then they all said with a sense of childlike wonderment
to the heavens, blowjobs.
Yeah, they made a deal.
They're packed.'re gonna all losing it
american pie ourselves um how old were they uh high school yeah early high school i liked your
notion of uh a dance just for the teachers maybe that's what they do on pro days.
Is that,
what was his notion?
Isn't that what you said? Oh,
I just said a lot of
these overheards.
All three were teachers.
Yeah.
Oh,
I thought you said
they were chaperoning
a dance for teachers.
That's what I heard.
They should have a dance
for teachers.
It's called like
McNally's Pub
on Friday nights.
You know who does
a great cover
of Hot for Teacher?
Celine Dion.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
She does all
Van Halen's hits.
But wouldn't it be?
Just the David Lee Roth ones.
It would be amazing
if you were a kid
and you were like,
oh, I forgot to get
my math textbook
and it's a pro day,
but I think the janitor
will let me in
and then you go
and the teachers
are having a day.
In the gym?
In the gym.
I gotta go get my, I left my gym shorts in my locker.
My mom wants to wash them.
Yeah, yeah.
And then you go.
What kind of dancing would it be?
Grinding.
They're grinding up on each other.
I was imagining slow dancing with the disc, like the mirror ball.
I was imagining like everybody's on like ecstasy, like an EDM rave style
dancing. I'm picturing
there's one, there's a couple
teachers making out in the corner.
Another teacher's spiking the punch.
All your dance tropes.
Dance tropes and dance tropes.
But the twist here, the chaperones,
a couple of kids.
A couple of kids gotta keep tabs on everything.
School president.
We need two inches between you two yeah hands above the waist hands above the waist mr edwards what is a
high school dance like while we know yeah group of boys putting their hands i think it's still
the same it's got to be the same as always if everyone just i never went to a single one here's
what's different. Phones.
Yeah.
Phones.
Either you can be on a phone and pretend that you don't care that the dance is happening,
or when the boys are standing on one side and the girls are standing on the other, you can text the girl.
Yeah.
But I also think, too, the separation of church and state.
It's important.
It's important.
The unified sort of supposed interest in the same kind of music is gone now, too.
Oh, there's no universal hits.
There's no universal hits that are across the board.
Like, you know, there's probably going to play some Ariana Grande.
But when I was in high school, I didn't like, you know, the R&B that people were dancing to.
No.
Yeah.
I was probably more niche-ified than ever.
You dance to whatever
the girl will dance to.
Like Hotline Bling
is what they're dancing to.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
I would put in a request
for anything ska
and then I'd wait.
I'd wait all night
and then the last song
they would play is
More Than Words.
Never Had To Knock On Wood.
That would be the last song
of the night.
Alright everyone,
now's your chance. Your chance to come on wood. That would be the last song of the night. All right, everyone, now's your chance.
Your chance to come out and skate.
They don't end every dance still with In Excess, Now Retire Us Apart?
No.
No.
Or More Than Words?
Well, More Than Words, baby.
But I think the one that was huge was...
We can live! For a thousand years! So the one that was huge was... November Rain was a big one.
Because it was long, gave you maximum contact time.
And it was sweat.
With your dancing partner.
Sweatiness.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Let's go to a high school.
Oh, no.
Let's become teachers so we can go to a high school.
Let's go meet some high school teachers.
I got some childhood friends.
Yeah.

It's the cost of a house
