Yeah.
But you were living, I think.
With your dream life.
You were with people twice your age.
Yeah.
It was the best.
Then, and like.
What was great about it?
Yeah.
Early bedtime.
Yeah.
Early bedtime.
Great sex.
Jello with little fruit in it.
Yeah.
Candy. Candy dish. Always always full um no it was
it was uh because where did i live oh it was it's just it was a this massive apartment right in uh
the west village which is like my favorite neighborhood and like just so crazy expensive
to live there right but it was it was like a it was a great deal it was
she was really cool
had she been living there
since the 70s
since the 70s
yeah
so she had all these
great stories
and I love
that part of New York
and she had all these
great stories
because you know
the neighborhoods
like changed so much
whatever
she used to be
Paul Simon's girlfriend
like I suck
Lou Reed's dick
I saw Lou Reed
walk by in
in that neighborhood
once though
but she
she had all these great stories and she she was just like, yeah, she was great.
But we had asbestos.
Okay, sure.
There was like asbestos removal, and the apartment was so big that her side was affected first.
And it like, yeah, she could tell it was like, you know, going to be bad.
So I had to go.
So did she, did the apartment building, like they were bad so i had to go so did she did the apartment
building like they were like we have to redo all the suites yeah no it was like a spess it was like
in between the bricks oh yeah and uh yeah so they had to remove that how could you how does it work
like yeah and what is it is it fireproofing it's uh it's insulation oh that's why they used it
yeah like a really really effective
insulator and you know what as long as it stays sealed it's not a problem yeah but for some reason
they were unsealing it yeah if you unseal it then the particles then you start breathing in it and
that's when you don't like that that's when you don't think that's good no i mean i don't you
know i'm not for asbestos or against asbestos why they don't just leave it yeah i don't think that's good? Nah, I mean, I don't, you know, I'm not for asbestos or against asbestos.
I don't know why they don't just leave it.
Yeah, I don't know why they, well, because like a lot of schools, they started taking it apart.
Yeah.
And, but it.
Because kids like to pick at the wall.
Yeah, that's, yeah.
And, you know, like a lot of those grade one, grade two, they've got hamsters.
Yeah.
And those hamsters like to get into, you know, nooks and crannies.
Yeah. got hamsters yeah and those hamsters like to get into uh-huh you know nooks and crannies yeah
um so uh and and these people were both retired that you look uh yeah yeah yeah yeah you so you
had the run of the play oh yeah i was like a young buck just going wild did you did did hanging out
with older people make you feel more young like like more virile? I felt spry.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, they were just cool.
But I swear, that's like a New York thing.
Like people will have more so than like, say, maybe in another city.
You will have like this old guy who's like a buddy or whatever that you meet at a coffee shop.
Oh, really?
You'll just have old friends?
Yeah.
Like I think that's more common there for some reason.
I don't know.
You just kind of,
yeah.
It's also very common in,
in London. If you go to a,
like a pub,
there'll be young people and old people all in the same.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's the classes that divide.
Yeah,
that's true.
I mean,
you know,
you've got to divide along somewhat.
Sure.
Yeah.
You have to be of noble birth to compete.
Oh, yes.
Is that from A Knight's Tale?
I think it's from that Pulp album.
So now, so that's no longer living with a senior citizen.
Yeah, no, that's done.
Living with somebody your own age?
Yep.
How does that feel?
It's all right.
Not quite as good As the desserts
No
Oh younger than you
Yeah
You're the senior
Yeah I'm the senior
Yeah
The tables
What is it?
Something's changed
What's that really
Common expression?
The tables have changed
Oh oh really
Oh not the tables
Have changed
Yeah
New tables
You've changed the tables
Oh yeah
New tables.
What are these, ping pong tables?
Yeah, didn't you used to have a regular table?
No, it's a pool table.
It's always been a pool table.
Have you ever known anybody that had a table that wasn't a table?
Oh.
That they were like, now it's just.
Chandler and Joey.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What did they have?
Foosball.
Foosball table.
Oh, okay. Would they eat off it? I think they put a thing on top Yeah. Yeah. They have a foosball foosball table. Okay.
Would they eat off it?
I think they put a thing on top.
It was like a glass thing on top.
I knew a guy who had an apartment,
uh,
in New York who had a,
it was a,
he had a bathtub and his,
it was like one of those crazy apartments and he had a bathtub in the kitchen.
Oh yeah.
And he had a,
he put a piece of wood over top of it and that would be a table.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, uh, do the dishes in it uh like there's a couple friends that i've had over the years that have had that
crazy apartment like it's a loft space that maybe you're not supposed to live in yeah and then
they've kind of jerry-rigged something to be a shower those are never a pleasant showering
experience yeah and it's like the shower
i remember this one friend like it was clearly just a garden hose that he had like staple gun
to the wall yeah and it went from the sink to create and then like attached a shower head to it
oh right you had to turn on the shower over here and then get into it oh you like had to turn on
the sink yeah yeah yeah wow so i was like this isn't, you're not legally supposed to be showering and living.
You should have just got a sprinkler.
You should have gone the whole way.
Yeah, just have it on the floor.
Like a wet banana.
Yeah, or just the back and forth one and he jumps through it in the morning.
The Little Mountain Gallery has a lot of like, it's got two bathrooms now.
I don't know if it always had two bathrooms.
Oh, yeah.
And it used to have bunk beds hidden in one of the walls uh illegal yeah how hidden um there was like a wall
that it's the still the wall still yeah uh but now it's just storage but yeah it was like a slide
away wall like in uh like a no no no not like you pull a book. I mean, dare to dream.
Yeah.
But they didn't have a shower set up.
They just had a YMCA or a community center nearby.
Who would sleep in the bunk beds?
Aaron Salazar.
Oh, yeah, the guy who used to run it.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I could see that space more than I can see some of the spaces I've known people that have lived in,
that they've turned into living spaces you know they've got like some weird stove that they
yeah dragged up the street they uh or when i don't know in new york you'll be like they'll be
maybe it'll happen in vancouver because it's so expensive but they'll just like
make they'll just take an apartment what was an apartment in like the 60s which was like an
acceptable place to live and then we'll just divide it in, what was an apartment in like the 60s, which was like an acceptable place to live.
And then we'll just divide it in half.
Right.
So clearly, this is my half kitchen.
You know what I mean?
It's like that.
Like you get the half of the kitchen that just has the sink and then your next door
neighbor has the stove.
Yeah.
So you just knock and I need to.
Well, we, this house has four suites in it.
And I think when it was built, it was one.
Yeah.
It was one house.
This basement would have just been dirt.
Okay.
The top floor would have just been an attic.
And then the middle floor, dirt.
Also dirt.
Yeah.
Two floors of dirt.
And instead of stairs, dirt slide.
A lot of these old houses used to be just houses.
Before they were all kind of like subdivided and like they were just mansions.
Can you hear your neighbors?
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, walking.
But you don't hear them all the time?
I hear them going up the steps because we have front doors next to each other.
Oh, okay.
So I can live with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I live in a house and I can hear everything.
Everything.
You can live with that? I don't know if you're asking me to stay here or not but yeah i'm like cool if you want me to
in the place that you live now upstairs neighbors downstairs neighbors are you top floor bottom
floor fourth floor yeah penthouse my yeah that's uh that to me is as good as it get not having
anybody above you you ever go on the roof No? I've never been on the roof.
You can, though.
There's like a fire escape.
There's like a really scary looking fire escape. That sounds very romantic.
You and your student could go up there.
You and your ward, I guess.
Yeah, teach them about the stars.
Yeah.
What do you know about the stars?
You know, I know the astrological signs.
How many of the astrological signs could you find in the stars?
Oh,
find?
No,
no.
I'm going to be like,
this is where that comes from.
What can you,
what constellations would you be able to pick out?
Oh,
Brian's belt.
Oh,
Brian's belt.
Yeah.
Big Brian's belt.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The,
uh,
dipper,
the dipper, two different sizes. Oh yeah. Yeah, the Dipper. The Dipper.
Two different sizes.
Oh, yeah.
Big, little.
Are they also bears?
Is there like an Ursa Major and Ursa Minor?
Oh, yeah.
Are those stars?
No, they're constellations.
Shaped like bears?
Yeah, well, no.
I mean, use your imagination.
Yeah, whenever they draw the constellation, you're like,
well, I don't see how you got that shape out of it. Oh, right, yeah, no. I mean, use your imagination. Yeah, whenever they draw the constellation, you're like, well, I don't see how you got that shape out of it.
Oh, right, yeah, yeah.
But people didn't used to have phones or TV,
so they just would stare at space forever.
And there didn't used to be clouds.
Yeah.
So you could see the sky a lot better.
I have heard, though, that cities make it a lot harder to see
just because it's so much light pollution or whatever.
Yeah, and then somebody was quoting somebody who's been on the moon that if you go when you're on the moon, basically because so much of the light from distant stars doesn't make it there.
I don't know what song that is.
Isn't that Walking on the Moon?
Yeah.
Yeah, nice.
But yeah, it's like a sheet of white when you're up there,
because there's no distance.
You can see the farthest star and the closest star.
Oh, really?
So you just see, it's just bright, like a wall of light.
Wow.
That we don't get to see that.
Yeah, we get ripped.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get ripped.
What a rip.
What if they went up there and everybody on the moon saw something super cool that we,
and they were like, shh, like don't.
Yeah.
That'll just be the moon club.
Yeah.
Well, every profession you have like, you know, secrets or whatever.
Comics, we know shit.
Yeah.
So, I'm sure astronauts, musicians.
Yeah.
Astronauts.
Yeah.
I mean.
I think they know some stuff.
They played golf on it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
I wonder if they all had a thing that they wanted to do on the moon.
Like, I want to flip a pizza dough.
That would be a great activity, actually. would it come down eventually would it well they're pretty quick
like they don't float there's gravity on the moon oh but yeah there's much yeah you can you hop oh
okay i mean giant steps are what you take i heard that walking. Walking on the moon. I have heard that. I hope my legs don't break.
Well, they wouldn't.
Because you're lighter.
Sting was at a show.
I did a show in New York
and Sting was in the crowd.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, with that jazz guy.
He's like a young-
Tito Puente?
Yeah.
So Sting and Tito walk in.
No, there was like this,
like that.
He's like a young jazz guy.
Okay.
Blonde hair.
Do you know what I'm talking about, Dave?
You know him.
Young, blonde jazz guy.
Not Harry Connick Jr., but another guy.
Not Michael Bublé.
Blonde.
No.
But I love Shumka's Bublé joke.
What, that his friends always call him Boobs?
Yeah.
So we have that in common?
Wasn't that the joke?
You're like, his friends call him Boobs, so we have that in common. I that the joke? You're like You're like His friends call him Boob
So we have that in common
I think you probably
You punched it up
Oh right
Yeah
What?
Who's that?
Oh I want to know
This young
Young blonde jazz guy
Who sings Concubine
Oh I forget his name
You totally recognize him
Yeah
I recognize him
And I don't have my
So Sting and Jazz
Jazzbo
Yeah
Jazzbo
Yes
Yeah they were I'm my so Sting and Jazz Jazzbo yeah Jazzbo yes yeah they were
I'm googling
Sting Jazzfriend
yeah they were
they were at a show
did that throw you
at all
I don't think I knew
I think it would
it would right
well yeah
just anytime you see
someone that you've seen
so many times
yeah
in pictures or whatever
and then you see them
in person
it's like weird
you can't like look weird.
Is it this guy?
Yeah, I believe that is.
That's him.
What is it?
Chris Boddy?
Yeah, you're a huge, you're a big bod guy.
Yeah, Chris Boddy.
Never heard of this.
Oh, really?
Maybe that's not him.
So wait, because you're doing comedy in New York.
There must be famous people.
Yeah. Hot and cold running.
And you do a lot of crowd work.
Do you ever talk to Sting?
No, I've never talked to Sting.
He chatted, though.
He came and chatted with us afterwards.
He was really nice.
Now, that's a weird thing because...
I'm into comedy, man.
Yeah.
I would never go after a show and talk to people that had performed.
Was he wearing his trademark uh
striped sweater he was dressed like in dune just a loincloth summer yeah it was summer
he was all greased up um but like is that is that a weird thing like i think famous people do that
famous people do that because when i was in uh toronto
this summer there was they do what they introduce themselves they just come backstage they're like
hey like neil patrick harris came to a couple of shows in the fringe really and then he just went
yeah he did that same thing he just went backstage and talked to the cast and i was like why are you
so sure the cast wants to yeah talk to you like i mean i think they did yeah i
wanted to talk to stink big time yeah but it's weird to have that imagine having that level of
confidence yes so bizarre that you're like well i'm gonna go talk to these people that just put
on a put on a shoe yeah yeah i guess as when you're a certain point like if you're on tv
every day or on the radio you played a child doctor on tv yeah like what what's the cutoff
though like if vinnie delpino from doogie hauser yeah is it a show i don't think he what if the
guy who played turtle came back would that be too like jerry ferrero would that be too
low of a level or is he he's gotta know his room if he's on if he's on like at the joe rogan tour right but if he like he has to know that
they're going to be excited to see him yeah i see but if yeah yeah like i mean i think you
could feel like pretty secure in the fact you could go to any community theater production
and come back and be like turtle's here turtle was at a little shop it would be
really humiliating finding that line well that's what i mean there's some people like stings
obviously yeah he's he's key to the city yeah yeah yeah like anywhere but there's gonna be
someone who's like a direct like a community theater director who's like turtles here i'm
gonna get him to come back and he does not want to go back Oh that's true too Yeah Oh yeah
Well like
Also like
You know
If the other
I don't know who the other members
Of the police
The entourage are
Well
There's E
Yeah
There's
Adrian
Gorenje
There's Vinny
Vinny Chase
Yeah
There's Johnny Drama
Johnny Drama
He's bananas
There's Suits
So what if Johnny Drama
If he
Would he be allowed to come back
at a comedy club and yeah say hi uh you'd be allowed to yeah i think yeah i don't yeah
would that be a welcome gesture i don't know it's just weird yeah i yeah i mean yeah it would be
weird yeah like why why can't he just enjoy the show and then be like, well, that was good.
I'll tweet about it.
I'm Sting, you know?
Or is Sting like, you know what?
I should go backstage so I don't get hounded by people out here.
Oh, that's.
I'll go hang out there for a few minutes.
Yeah, that could be true.
Also, I wonder, because you know how there's like a lot of, like i think there's in comedy there's a lot of
people that maybe would have been musicians had they been able to pull that off yeah do you think
that the reverse do you think there's some musicians that are like people say that people
say that and you some there are certain i've been at shows and stuff where i've been like oh this
guy thinks he's funny like the singer or whatever has something to say between each song. Yeah. He's doing bits. Yeah. Yeah.
Just do the lyrics.
Who?
I'm trying to think.
I'm trying to think.
Cause that's the whole thing that musicians want to become.
Yeah.
People say that,
but I'm like,
there's no way you actually want to be a comic.
If you're like a really successful musician.
Yeah.
No.
Like,
I mean,
John,
you know,
John Mayer just wants to show that he could do it all.
Yeah.
But yeah. Dave Grohl is just really do it all. Yeah. But yeah.
Dave Grohl is just really nice and charming.
Yeah, people say he's funny.
But, you know, he's just likable, I think.
Yeah.
I don't think he's got much material.
Yeah, he doesn't have like a solid 45.
I wonder, though.
He's got his five.
Yeah, he's got a killer tight five.
He can do a TV set.
Yeah, Carson invited him over to the couch after a Nirvana set.
Yeah, it was like that drummer.
You guys stay over there.
And it made his career.
Oh, that would be the best if you were a comedy duo and Carson only invited one half.
I didn't like the straight man.
Bring over the funny guy.
Get over here, teller.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a uh i don't know yeah i don't know why why a musician that's that you know been revered forever wants to do comedy but yes they're hitting the mics
but maybe yeah maybe because like in the 80s it wasn't uncommon for a comic to open up for a
musician that was like a well kind of established conceit yeah i think people try
to do that now but it's it's always bad always bad like it's a tough gig does it work in like
vegas yeah maybe i think if you're somewhat famous of a car i don't know because if you go
like if you've played the commodore before right yeah have you opened for bands there
uh no could you imagine how ugly that would be?
It would be awful because everybody's getting drinks.
Imagine being the opening band.
Sean Devlin did it quite a bit, I think.
Opening for bands?
Yeah, I think he did.
And Bobcat Goldthwait opened for Nirvana when they would go on tour.
And I can't imagine how bad that would have gone.
Yeah.
But like, I remember watching something like Star Search
and they'd be like, this person's opened for the Pointer Sisters.
Linda Ronstadt.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Judds.
And I remember even as a kid being like, yeah guess that's good is that good i think i think
people i think maybe audiences were a little different back then it would be rough now i think
yeah well right now a guy who did he opened for michael buble oh yeah all over the place oh right
yeah tim reicher yeah and i know uh ryan adams had people open comics open for him in the last
couple years i had a friend that did it
and
but his crowd probably
is a bit more
mellow
it could be a little
and maybe like a little more
like comedy savvy
right
maybe
I don't know
but and did your friends
that did it
say it was good
yeah I think
yeah he said it was
I think he said
one show was really good
and one show was like
okay
yeah
I think that's what he said
it's a weird like
if I was going to a music show
and then they're like but first 20 minutes yeah observational 20 minutes of listening
like don't do anything just sit there don't say anything yeah before that song you like yeah
okay yeah you know uh that was weird yeah you guys seen this commercial?
Oh, that would be brutal.
I remember when I was maybe like 14 and I went to go see Weird Al Yankovic. They had a stand-up guy, a local guy open for him.
That's good.
It was good, but it still didn't work because...
What else would you have open for Weird Al Yankovic?
I think you just need to just start.
I think you just need to be Weird Al because it's mostly kids in the audience.
When we saw Paul McCartney, it was, they don't have an opening act.
They just have a DJ who plays like Beatles songs.
Really?
Like remixes.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So then everybody can go and get drinks.
For how long?
Did you guys go together to see Paul McCartney? Yeah. Just you two? No. And my brother and Abby. Oh, okay, cool. Yeah. Yeah. So then everybody can go and get drinks and. For how long? Did you guys go together to see Paul McCartney?
Yeah.
Just you two?
No.
And my brother and Abby.
Oh, okay, cool.
Yeah.
I held hands with Dave's brother.
Yeah, I was going to say, how was yesterday?
There was a woman there that like, she was, she was so happy to be there.
I've never seen anybody so happy to be anywhere as this woman.
And then she just kept making out with her boyfriend. Like this is a like she's probably in her late 40s early 50s yeah and uh but she's
just transported her back to the days yeah it was was the show great yeah yeah it was really good
i love that his drummer he's got lots of energy yeah abe what. What's his name? Abe. Abe? Have you seen him live?
No, no, no, I have not.
But I've seen, you know, I've watched, you know,
whenever he plays a Super Bowl or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was a bit of a bummer because my brother had seen him in Portland
and Seattle the days leading up.
And my brother was like, he was doing all the same banter between songs.
And my brother was like saying, here's the joke he's going to tell now.
Oh, what a bummer.
I guess you do settle into like, hey, that worked in Portland.
Might as well try it again tonight.
Oh, so we do little jokes?
Yeah.
And like tell a little story leading into each song.
And it was word for word, the same story, the same like beat.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Yeah.
I think that's an old school showbiz thing.
You think? Yeah. Because it wasn't that, and I'm going to screw this up, really? Okay, yeah. I think that's an old school showbiz thing. You think?
Yeah, because it wasn't that,
and I'm going to screw this up,
but didn't someone like Fred Armisen
or someone work at like Radio City Music Hall
and Liberace was there for a month
and each time Liberace would be like,
this couple, it's their 20th anniversary
and they met at our,
I probably got that.
That was, yeah.
It was Liberace at a Fred Armisen show
Exactly
He was on Portlandia
And
Oh so he would always
Every night
But it would be
But it was something
That really got people
Like you know
Giving goosebumps
Like this was
You know they met
At one of my concerts
And now this is
Their 20th wedding anniversary
And they're here tonight
Please everybody
Give a round of applause
For Ethel and
Right Oh wow Ethel and, you know. Right.
Oh, wow.
Ethel and Ned.
But apparently he would do
the same thing every night.
Same names and everything?
Yeah, I don't know
if he said the names,
but he did the same thing
that they, like,
met at one of his concerts.
But he wouldn't be
20th anniversary.
He would just be like,
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, no, he would just be like,
I know they're here.
Like, you know.
Right.
Like, and then, yeah,
the spotlight shines on them.
Yeah, two dudes. Yes. be like, I know they're here. Like, you know. Like, and then, yeah, the spotlight shines on them. Yeah, two dudes.
Yes.
A dude and his dog.
What?
Ethel?
Yeah.
Yeah, so I think that's an old showbiz-y thing.
Well, I remember opening for a comic whose whole act is crowd work. And the first night
I saw him, I was like, boy, oh boy, this guy's
like, how did he do it?
And then the second show is like,
oh, he finds that thing
in every single crowd.
He finds like a guy that's
wearing a funny shirt or the guy that's
on a date or whatever. With his dog? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. What's going on? gonna sorry don't worry um so uh but you do crowd work i do yeah do you don't do you double up do you or do you just
every night's a blank slate uh yeah it's pretty yeah every night's a blank slate i have like uh
yeah i mean i might do i have i have like a couple lines couple stock lines yeah to
keep going like two yeah and i might not like say for example i don't think i did it all weekend
i just have a couple things just to get out sometimes you just get in this like
crazy right quagmire like oh jesus all right sorry and then so you just eat but yeah no i
try i don't i don't, I just try to just talk
and see what happens.
Because you're very good at it.
Oh, thanks.
Yeah, it's fun.
At the crowd work and on Friday night during the show, there was a woman on the early show,
I think.
Yeah.
Who, she was up from California.
Very good looking woman.
Yeah.
And I just assumed California, she was an actress.
Uh-huh.
And she wasn't though.
No.
She was a sergeant yeah she's
in the military yeah yeah yeah yeah and you were very funny with her just off the cuff and oh thanks
yeah yeah because that's always uh because i often ask people what they do i'm kind of fascinated
with people who have real jobs yeah like i really like it's just crazy it is crazy that people every day yeah sometimes i think about
that where i'm like huh so you're gonna be that thing most likely until you retire yeah like i
you know if it's somebody who's kind of in their you know late 20s early 30s the chances are like
if you're a sergeant you're going to be a military person until. Yeah. I guess maybe the military is the one where you kind of can check out and then go back.
Go AWOL.
Yeah.
Yeah, you go AWOL.
Yeah.
Become a civilian, work at a radio shack.
Yeah.
Radio shack.
But that's a weird thing.
Like some, you know, talking about celebrities who want to be a comedian one day.
Right.
After they're a musician for 30 years.
But then there's one there's
celebrities who want to then just have a regular job like i'm shack and i'm a sheriff yeah i feel
that's rare though right that a celebrity wants to go and i think with like child actors there's
a lot of them that were like that's i'm fine i did the good for them yeah i was on a tv show
chances are i'm not gonna be on another yeah you know like the the older brother on the wonder
years i think he like he like started up his own company and it's like now a millionaire from oh
really you know or like uh i don't well i don't know if the Wahlbergs make the burgers. Oh, right.
Yeah.
Do you think?
Maybe Donnie.
Do they ever show up and just flip a couple of burgers and,
hey, that was fun.
Let me sign your burger.
Yeah.
Signs it with a mustard pen.
Yeah, I don't know.
Like, there's not a ton of.
What would you do if you were, let's say, your...
Oof.
The guy from How I Met Your Mother, whose name I don't know.
Okay, sure.
So, I'm the guy who was on that show.
Uh-huh.
And now I'm done.
I don't want to be part of show business anymore.
I would probably go something showbiz adjacent, like...
Usher.
Yeah.
Usher.
Ticket terror.
Busker.
No, you know, like either like something like entertainment law or PR or, you know, work at an advertising.
Like something where it's like at least something that I know can carry
over.
Sure.
I don't know if you could then like,
how long do you have to go to law school?
Oh yeah.
That's,
but I think there's probably fast track for celebrities.
I got to assume.
Starfucker University.
Yeah.
I went to SFU.
Is there?
Wow. Yeah. That's good. Starfucker University yeah I went to SFU is there wow yeah
that's good
it took me
I'm a dyslexic
it took a while
but you got there
as long as we all got there
yeah well we're all there
that was quick as shit
you should do crowd work
oh yeah
no I
I have a bit
that I say
this couple broke up
at my show
yeah
20 years ago
and they're here and here tonight here are their corpses that I say this couple broke up at my show 20 years ago.
And they're here and here tonight.
Here are their corpses.
Here's a picture
of their corpses.
Pass it around
so everyone can see.
But didn't,
for a weird period of time,
didn't Clint Eastwood,
he like,
He was a mayor.
Mayor or sheriff
of a town?
I want to say mayor. I think it was a movie.
He was definitely a sheriff at some point in the movies.
Carmel, California or something.
Oh, mayor, okay.
And then Mickey Rourke.
Oh yeah, Mickey Rourke.
Sonny Bono was a politician as well.
Oh, Al Franken.
Jesse the Body Ventura.
That one's just like...
The Governator.
And then he went away and then he's come, I mean, has he come back?
I guess so.
The Governator?
Yeah.
Why do they call him that?
I don't know.
I only know him as a governor.
So a lot of his campaign phrases, woof, right over my head.
I'll be back.
Where did he go?
He said.
Hasta la vista, deficit. Right over my head. I'll be back. Where did he go? He said.
Hasta la vista, deficit.
What would you, if you weren't a comedian? I was just thinking that.
I was just thinking that.
I don't know.
Like if tomorrow, for whatever reason, you change your mind.
Yeah, I don't want to do comedy anymore.
What do you think would be the profession you'd...
Yeah, I was just, when you were talking about that,
I was just racking my brain.
Nothing pops up?
No.
Yeah, I don't know.
Everything's really unappealing.
Yeah.
Like, really?
Can you think of what you would do?
I would probably, just based on the couple of people I know that have done it,
I'd probably be all right at being a private detective because you just have to sit in a car and take photos
yeah i always claim i'd be a good detective yeah because i watch those shows yeah which one csi
yeah or whatever you know like if there's like a uh oh uh did you watch um what was that hbo show
with uh with john john tuturo oh the night night of yeah i was watching that man i was like
you were putting clues together i was completely wrong but i was quite confident as i put the show
together have you ever done one of these escape rooms no oh that's if you like detective shows
escape rooms are up your alley what's this escape rooms like they give you uh you've got you go in
a room go in a room with like a group of three or four friends uh yeah and they give you uh you've got you go in a room go in a room with like a group of
three or four friends uh yeah and they give you kind of this is the mystery you have to solve
yeah and then you use things in the room you've got to figure it out wow really yeah yeah so you
gotta make see is this book to have anything in it does if i turn the clock handle does that do
anything really yeah yeah wow yeah have you done handle That's not the name of that A hand?
Yeah, a hand
Have you done that?
Yeah, yeah
Really?
Yeah, it was fun
Were you good?
Yeah, our group solved it
Before the time was up
So
Yeah, I'd like to do that
Yeah, yeah
I just think you see those guys
That drive around
You know, wear a trench coat
Coffee
Shoot the shit
They have like a partner
Buddy
I think nowadays
Wearing a trench coat
Would
You would stand out
Yeah that would
I'd be old school
I'd wear one of those
Sherlock Holmes hats
Pipe
But it almost like
If it makes it that obvious
They'd be like
Well he couldn't be
The detective
Yeah
He's dressed like that
He's got that giant
That giant magnifying glass
Yeah I think That would be a cool job I don't think Again it's like Entertainment lawyer giant magnifying glass.
Yeah, I think that would be a cool job.
I don't think, again, it's like entertainment lawyer.
I think you got to do, you'd have to go to a police academy.
Yeah.
You'd probably have to have a contact at the police to help you out with things.
That's the crazy, when in my neighborhood now, there's like a 7-Eleven, there's always like cops there.
Yeah.
And there's just young like guys and girls.
And I'm just like,
what are you like?
It's crazy that your job is so insane.
Yeah.
And it's driving around New York and busting people.
And it's also weird because.
Dangerous.
Yeah.
Totally.
Yeah.
And I always thought of,
uh,
cops is older than me.
And now that has,
that is most definitely changed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where I'm like,
Oh,
you're,
you're, you're you're you're
a kid you're a child yeah uh you let me hold the gun for a while yeah come on your fair is fair
come on come on um dave what would you do if you if you just tomorrow if you didn't
no more podcasts no more books no more teachers dirty looks
um i like yours entertainment detective entertainment detective oh that would be
good oh that would be good because you'd still get to hang out on a lot of sets yeah i get to
have the catering go backstage after a show yeah oh that is uh he stole my line i'll get it back for you i don't know
i'll get it back for you it's like a kid's book um i that is one of my favorite things though
on law and order where they would be investigating an entertainment related death and then they they go backstage to ask
questions like that's the most convenient place yeah to ask somebody questions pertaining to a
murder like right after the show yeah they're still wearing their wig and whatever smoke in the air
uh i mean it's atmospheric yeah um uh yeah i guess detective i don't know it's weird though because like when
you're because nothing in showbiz relates to anything that you could do in real life yeah
like yeah you yeah like as a comic you're not trained for any thing you're gonna crack a lot
of cases you know what i mean did you go to school for anything before comedy?
No, I just went to high school
Oh, and that's another thing
The small, like to work with the same people for a week
Yeah
Like just the smallest thing at a, you know, the weekend or whatever
Yeah
Like someone will do the smallest thing and you're like, oh my God
So, I can't imagine, yeah
No, I just, no, I went to high, no, yeah, I just went to high school
So you mean like being in an office with the same people all the time?
Could you imagine?
I've worked in offices and it's weird.
Yeah.
That you see the same.
You do have to be an adult about it.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
See, maybe that'd be something I could try.
You have to be like, oh, this person has their own experiences and they're not, they're not
out to get me with this weird tick of theirs
he's had it in for me since day one it is about tick acceptance in the office place like it's
oh yeah this person's sniffs a lot this person does a clackety clack thing yeah headphones really
have have saved the modern uh workforce oh i bet earbuds headphones
yeah because imagine when you're back in the days everybody's just on a typewriter oh yeah
yeah and you just have to listen to that all day i go nuts man that ding every time the page
ding i'm like jesus i think there'll be so many dings around oh yeah maybe you get used to i don't
know i'm on edge yeah it's weird because i've worked in places where they're like oh after
long enough you won't notice the sound and it never goes away yeah like it's never hygiene
issues right where in the office oh sure everywhere yeah in society yeah Either someone stinks or someone wears too much perfume.
I'm out.
I quit.
Where'd Phil go? He just walked out.
And he
left a note of grievances.
Here's a list of people who stink.
You guys made my stink list
don't you think it would be
no but it is
Dave's right
it is part of being an adult
but
you don't really have to do that
if you're a comic
no that's true
you don't really
have to do that
yeah that's true
you just skipped over
yeah
like if
like no
like is there a great comic
that has like a really mature
take on things
like
like well and that's comic that has like a really mature take on things like uh well and uh that's reasonable yeah or if somebody i always think about the comedian
who asks a question like well what what is the deal with this but then does like
two minutes of research yeah oh yeah i lost that bit. Yeah. My damn brain. Why do you adopt a highway?
Oh, I see.
Because it saves taxpayers money.
Yeah.
Well.
It's just like the sensible comedian.
So there's this lady at my work and she's always talking really loud.
So I started wearing earbuds.
You know, and you got to be compassionate.
Everyone has their.
Her mother's in the hospital.
So it's, you know, we hope she pulls through.
Oh, man.
Have you seen these white guys with dreadlocks?
They're trying to appreciate another culture.
Yeah, it's really something that I respect
and something that I would like to do, you know,
learn a little more about other cultures.
But I'm afraid people would make fun of me.
So, you know, I guess I'd lash out.
Yeah.
Anyways.
Anyways.
Hey, sir, what did you think when you put on that shirt this evening?
Did I look good in this shirt?
Because you do.
Yeah, you do.
Your colors.
I mean, you're definitely a fall color guy.
Autumn.
These assholes vaping.
I guess they're trying to quit smoking.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I like the smell of
the vape better than
I like cigarette smoke.
So I would say it's
a step in the right
direction.
You guys know this
Guy Fieri guy?
Passionate about food.
Yeah.
Gotta admire it.
He's a little
overweight, but I
think he's doing his
best.
You know, it's his
body type.
I really like this
comedian.
It's all about
acceptance.
Dave, what's going on with you, man?
Well, you and I just got back from Victoria.
Yeah.
We did a show there.
We mentioned we also did shows in Edmonton and Saskatoon.
I don't think we thanked everyone for coming.
Thanks for coming, everyone.
Oh, yeah.
And the Victoria show was tons of fun.
And it was in this beautiful old church that had been changed to now a performance.
That had been burnt down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it was this kind of nice, like the seating was pews.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah.
So they haven't changed the interior of it too much.
It's got a giant organ.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was cool.
Did you play the organ
yeah no apparently anything you wanted to play it was like adds cost to it oh really yeah because i
i tried to while they were doing soundcheck sneak over just to press one key yeah the thing was
locked oh what a bummer and there were two like grand pianos there hey maybe we get a grand piano
out here that's the three hundred dollars you know what? We're fine. We're fine.
Yeah.
I'm just going to do the thing that play with my knuckle.
And then you're like, hey, get over here.
We're splitting this.
Yeah, you'll be out of 50 bucks.
Play the other part of Hardin's Hall.
They had two grand pianos.
We could have done a Billy Joel, Elton John thing.
Dueling pianos.
Yeah, dueling pianos.
Whenever I see two pianos, I always think of that. We did a weekend together, right? Yes, John thing. Dueling pianos. Dueling pianos. Whenever I see two pianos, I always think of that.
We did a weekend together, right?
Yes, we did.
Dueling pianos.
There was a comedy club, and right across the hallway was dueling pianos.
Oh.
So the people of the dueling pianos were having way more fun than they were at our show.
And people kept requesting things that the dueling piano guys didn't know.
Because, of course, Billy Joel and Elton John but people were like, Lady Gaga was popular
at the time.
So it was like,
Lady Gaga,
this song.
Yeah.
The guy was like,
well,
you know who Lady Gaga likes?
David Bowie.
Yeah.
So we went to Victoria
and yeah,
thanks to everyone.
A lot of people
traveled from out of town.
Yeah,
from Chicago.
Yeah.
Three separate groups
of people came from Illinois. They didn't know each other. Yeah, three separate groups of people came from Illinois.
They didn't know each other.
Yeah, yeah.
We met people from Winnipeg and Oregon and Seattle.
Yeah, yeah.
That's so, you know what a nightmare that would be to come from, like, how many flights and shit?
I have no idea.
You would know.
Yeah, it would be Illinois, Chicago, like O'Hare to whatever the airport in Victoria.
I don't know.
I think some people took a ferry.
Yeah, I think there was a ferry ride involved.
Oh, my goodness.
I know.
You guys are like the dead.
Yeah.
You really are.
Yeah.
Well, it's sort of because we just drone on for 90 minutes and never really go anywhere.
It doesn't really lead anywhere.
How dare you?
Yeah, huge fan of the dead. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. really lead anywhere. How dare you. Yeah, huge fan of
the Dead.
I love it.
But last week,
Graham and I went
to a hockey game.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, cool.
We went to see
the Vancouver Canucks
play the Buffalo Sabres.
I love the Sabres.
Do you?
Yeah, the Dead
and the Sabres, man.
Yeah, it's weird
that the Sabres
coach announced that there was some badass that had been circling the ground. Yeah It's weird that the Sabres Coach announced
That there was some
Badass that had been
Circling in the ground
Yeah
And they
Yeah the Hells Angels
Were doing security
In the game
Beating people with pool cues
Yeah
It was really weird
To have pool cues
But
But
Yeah
I got a footlong hot dog
Yep
Wow
That would really make me feel ill.
Oh, it was great.
Really?
How did you feel afterwards?
Great.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
Foot long too much?
Too much hot dog?
Any hot, yeah, I haven't had a hot dog in a long time.
Yeah, I think I'd regret it.
But you're not a vegematic.
No.
No.
No, but I just haven't had like a sports dog.
A sports dog.
Yeah.
I didn't have, well, I had a mini donuts.
That was my contribution to destroying my body.
Good dog though.
Put everything on it.
Yeah.
I'm not one of these.
I don't subscribe to this.
No, no.
What is it?
No ketchup after the age of like eight on your hot dog.
Not me.
I do.
Anytime we get a hot dog,
I say no condiments,
no bun,
just the hot dogs.
Just give it to me in a paper.
No chewing.
Long.
Um,
and,
uh,
yeah,
it was fun.
Good game.
And we were talking about,
uh,
uh,
how,
uh,
uh, do you ever see, see um like they'll do like a
time lapse photograph of changing the uh changing an ice rink to a basketball rink yeah yeah i like
that basketball rink basketball court yeah and it'll just be like i don't know is i guess it's
hours oh i'm sure yeah yeah but know, it goes a bit fast.
And Gray had the idea of they should just have a real-time video of it.
Yeah.
For Insomniac.
Yeah.
Oh, that's smart.
So that you could just put it on and just watch a team.
Yeah.
Yeah, change over.
Oh, God, can you imagine?
That's a huge job.
It is, but I assume They've got everything
As
You know
In pieces
That just all
Yeah it's modular
Yeah
All clicks together
We don't
We don't have that problem
Here anymore
Because we don't have
A basketball score
No
But it was the same
Same arena
That that would've
Yeah yeah
And it
Tons of cities
Have that
Where in the same day
Like they'll do a
You know
Maybe not the same day But A noon do a you know maybe not the same day
but
a nooner
followed by a midnight
basketball game
how was the game
did the Canucks win
yeah
they did
and it was
it was fun
it was
it's only the second
hockey game
I've ever been to
in Vancouver
yeah I've never been
to one here
yeah really
and you grew up here
no
no I grew up in
outside of Toronto.
Oh, that's right.
So I went to lots of Leafs games when I was a kid.
Saw the Sabres a bunch of times.
Yeah.
Oh, sure.
Your precious Sabres.
I love the Sabres.
So, oh, cool.
And would you watch hockey on TV, Dave?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah, see, I should enjoy something.
The reason I have glasses is to watch hockey on TV.
Really?
I had a prescription, and I didn't ever fill it in.
And then I noticed one day, like, it's really hard to see the puck
without getting this prescription done.
That would be a good ad for, you know, like a love.
Yeah, it was that.
And real hockey and video game hockey were, like,
the things that made me get glasses.
And I had glasses for a while.
And then one day, one year you and I went to New York.
Yeah.
And you were pointing out signs and like things I couldn't see.
So I was like, I guess I got to wear this.
Spotting a dime.
But yeah, the crazy thing, like, cause you, you were you're saying like yeah you should watch
hockey yeah uh the one thing that i started watching is like on tv is golf okay because
and i figured out one of the reasons less names to remember because even during the course of the
hockey game i was trying to learn just like the names of the people who were just on the ice just
then and boy oh boy that's a lot of yeah that's a lot of names yeah well i couldn't even remember
who was the guy that you said was called the honey badger that i would remember yeah hanson
yeah yeah and i can't say yeah why do they call him the honey badger because he doesn't give a
fuck really yeah it's in there he's a bad man like a honey badger? He's just, he's tenacious.
Okay.
He gets after it.
I like that.
He gets a breakaway in every game and scores every five or six.
Yeah, but he really.
But are honey badgers tenacious?
Have you never seen the video of the guy doing the commentary over the honey badger?
No.
Oh, it's very funny.
Really?
Yeah.
I'll let you discover it for yourself.
Okay.
I don't know a lot about Honey Budgers.
Neither did I until this video came out.
In the hockey game?
Also, they do a lot.
This is what I didn't realize, and I think it's changed since the last hockey game I went to.
It's more of a constant show than it used to be.
It used to be there were these kind of lulls where
there was nothing going on and they must be going to commercial right now but yeah and then the
jumbotron would just play like an animated thing of a hot dog jumping into a thing of popcorn or
whatever like it was there was no shot to the crowd it's an ad for freud yeah and then it just flashes the word your mother
um but yeah this was like anytime there was a stop and play they would go there was like a
woman in the stands and she would interview they get people to do like a trivia thing or really
yeah and then it would if there was even just a lull they would cut to
they play music
and they cut to like
kids having a
fun time dancing
and the cameraman
kept going to the same
like one cameraman
had a crush on this woman
yeah this one lady
because we saw
a lot of her
really
yeah
and we were like
oh big eyebrows are back
I think
we like it
yeah yeah
we were talking about
because you know
ladies have big eyebrows
yeah
it's fun
you need to tell me.
I think I could be a big eyebrow lady.
Yeah.
I could.
You kidding me?
I got tiny little eyebrows.
Look at these bad boys.
Yeah.
I'd be a really.
I'm picturing it.
I'd be a very beautiful lady.
Modern lady.
These days, yeah.
I mean, yeah, it would have been tough in the 80s.
I feel like the 80s was a good time for big eyebrows.
When was it little eyebrows? I feel at one point they were really little. Yeah, maybe that was the 80s Was a good time For big eyebrows When was it
Little eyebrows
I feel at one point
They were really little
Yeah
Maybe that was
The 90s
The 90s
Early 2000s
Yeah
The 80s
Or the early 90s
Were like Kathy Ireland
Those big
Peter Gallagher's
Oh yeah
Yeah
Big eyebrows
In the early 90s
Early 2000s
Well I remember
Early 90s
Because early Madonna
Had quite a set of eyebrows
and then
they became more shaped
over time.
But in the mid 90s
there was like
these real drawn on fields.
Yeah, I remember
there was a time.
Yeah.
Yeah, because
then some people got
would shave their eyebrows
and get
some people got
fake eyebrows tattooed on.
Yeah, I did that.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, yeah.
How much would you
regret that now? What do you get like what would you do? I don't know. Get, I did that. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah. How much would you regret that now?
What do you get,
like,
what would you do?
I don't know.

Yeah.
Like you can just do the sporting event.
You don't have to do anything before or after a movie either.

How are you?
I mean, I never dated as an adult.
But what do you.
As a kid.
Well, I guess I didn't date as a kid either.
But like that thing of just being like being able to have your own schedule.
Right.
And being a single person like, okay, well, we'll have dinner at this hour.
Yeah.
Go to the movie and we'll get to know each other.
Right.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Especially if it's like if you're meeting the person for the first time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Then you.
Yeah.
And I've also never dated anyone I didn't know.
No.
But like movies start at like 730.
So how fast do you have to eat dinner?
Yeah.
Hurry up.
Yeah.
Well, like, cause you know, sometimes you go to like, you'll go to a nine, you know,
nine, nine 30. I mean, 9, 9.30.
I mean, that's pushing it, though.
Then the post drink, then you're pushing it into tomorrow.
Yeah, totally.
I got to work in the morning.
Yeah, exactly.
I have to detect who stole the red vines off.
Play the Knicks now.
I wonder if ever a detective would take somebody on a date and be like,
we're going to drive and enjoy the view of this person's apartment.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I brought a picnic.
Oh, yeah.
Or bring your daughter to work.
That would be the best
if you were to date
because then you could send her
out to go get coffee.
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
She'd be such a little
whatever Natalie Portman
and the professional.
Just trying to think of like.
Yeah.
I was thinking like, you know nancy drew or uh
an encyclopedia brown but you're right a kid who's along for the ride i guess the professional is the
one yeah he's not much of a detective though no he's more of a kill people kind of yeah he's an
assassin right yeah leon yeah leon and his crazy plant. Because he loves this plant so much.
Oh, I don't remember the plant.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, it's like that's the only thing he has in his life until she shows up.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
And then there's a scene where he's trying to get away and he makes sure the plant gets out of there.
I got news for you.
He's got nothing in his life.
That's the only thing in his life?
It's none of it.
Also, he drinks a lot of milk. I remember that being the conclusion. Oh, sure. Oh, he's got nothing in his life that's the only thing in his life it's not also he drinks
a lot of milk i remember that being oh sure oh he's weird he like he like goes and he's got like
a satchel and he's got all these bottles of milk in it oh yeah that's what do you drink a glass of
milk as i don't know no no although i i have i have in the last few weeks really yeah yeah i
haven't had a glass of milk in a long time how was it was it great oh yeah oh really it was it hit the spot i think it would i think it would mess with me i mean i've
had some chocolate milk here and there oh i have tons of chocolate and i'll drink a lot of yogurt
drink as well i remember i started drinking chocolate milk after i saw an ad that it was
like it's the perfect thing to recover after a workout but i skipped the workout and just had um but yeah i had a friend who she like drank a
full glass of milk in front of me and it blew my mind yeah yeah i was at a restaurant last week and
like a grown man ordered a glass of milk and you tell them like it hadn't happened in a long time
the waiter's like i don't know if we have that you see the opening those little milk packets just a minute like trying to be sneaky
when were we on the ferry looking at that the the machine that yeah the milk the and we're like
is there a bag in there yeah like is it a bag or is it just like a tube that's specifically made for that machine? Oh, right. Like a milk keg?
Yeah.
Like a keg with a...
Yeah.
Tap this milk.
A milk keg.
Exactly.
I don't know.
Yeah.
It's weird.
I haven't...
Do you buy milk?
Do you...
No.
You don't put it on cereal?
I don't eat cereal.
Coffee at home?
No.
No, I don't have coffee at home.
Really?
No.
Do you go out for coffee every morning?
No, I just... I'll drink it here.
And then, you know, sometimes if I'm just out,
I'll incidentally drink it.
But the rest of the time I, yeah, it's weird.
I haven't bought milk in like, but it's always
a thing.
Like I always end up in that area of the grocery
store just because that's the pattern that you
walk.
Great place to be chicks, right?
Milk?
Yeah.
Milk aisle?
Yeah.
Dairies?
Yogurts?
Kitty litter aisle, probably.
Oh, that's true.
Lots of ladies got the cats.
Yeah, and you could be like a gentleman and help pick up the litter.
I'm a litter sommelier.
Emphasis on the smell.
You like test it at home?
I'm detecting rocks.
Rocks, sand.
Pebbles.
Crystals.
What's going on with you, Graham?
Oh, just that same stuff.
It was going on.
The only other thing was I couldn't sleep the last couple nights.
So I've been like waking up and like just wide, like super wide awake.
And so I've been watching, tucking into the new episodes of Black Mirror.
Okay.
All right.

Yeah, we got a bit of a jumbo.
Hey, guys.
Jumbotron time.
This one is a message from David B. for Heather A.
And he says,
Happy birthday, all caps.
Did I say that loud enough for all caps?
Yeah.
You said it like Frosty the Snowman.
You probably could pass for Frosty.
Thank you.
In a lot of ways.
Sore missed your 30th last year,
ate all of the Halloween candy this year,
and continued to charge my Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on your nightstand.
Those are legal on planes now.
Can't even have them on a plane.
You can have them.
You just can't have them on.
Oh, really?
I thought you couldn't even have them on.
They said, please turn it off.
Yeah.
But Dave and Graham both agree that this more than makes up for all of that.
We're great at reading.
Have a wonderful day.
Love you.
P.S.
Is this the thing half price if it's in a John Doerr episode?
No.
Well, it's not in a John Doerr episode.
So, no.
But, you know, a very happy birthday to Heather A.
From David B.
What do you think?
Why do you think he missed the birthday last year?
What's that all about?
He's probably eating.
He's probably so excited to eat this year's Halloween candy.
Well, yeah.
New candy.
What if they rolled out new candies every year?
Like, what do you mean?
Just like a new candy that you'd never heard of.
Like, not even just like a new kind of Mars bar. Oh, well, yeah, like a grape like candy that you'd never heard of like not even just like a new kind of mars bar
oh well yeah like a grape mars bar i mean it's only available during would it have would it be
grape jelly yeah okay not just like uh no it would be like a mars bar the chocolate wouldn't be

Oh my goodness. I
keep track of these. Okay, okay.
I'm so bad at organizing it. I hope I have one.
Yeah, yeah. Don't worry about it okay. I'm so bad at organizing it. I hope I have one. Yeah, yeah.
Don't worry about it.
Otherwise, I'm trying to think of an overheard.
Well, we can start.
We can start with Dave.
While you look for an overheard and try to find the microphone.
Okay.
Yeah, there it is.
Okay, mine is actually an overseen, and it's something you and I both witnessed.
Oh, yeah.
Do you know this is what I'm going to do?
Oh, yeah.
So, we were on the ferry coming back from Victoria, British Columbia this weekend.
So nice to meet everybody.
Oh, yeah.
I like doing these small town shows because we get recognized on the street.
Yeah, yeah.
Really?
That's great.
We stand out enough.
Yeah, I got recognized peeing against a dumpster.
Yeah.
Well, mostly because we don't get a hotel, so we sleep in the street.
Yeah, somebody recognized me washing myself in some pond water.
We were on the ferry, and we were sitting right next to the cafeteria.
the cafeteria and,
uh,
they out outside the cafeteria, there's a hand sanitizer machine where I guess you put your hand underneath and it automatically sprays.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's good.
Or it gives you a little,
a little soapy,
you know,
kind of like on a ice cream cone.
Like,
Oh,
Oh yeah.
A little twist.
Yeah.
Like half vanilla,
half hand sanitizer.
Um, and, uh, this this little i don't know 10 year old kid goes up to it puts his hand in nothing comes out keeps trying to figure out yeah different
angles looks underneath it puts his hand in pushes it like it's it's it he no longer i guess it was
out of hand sanitizer he no longer accepts that you're not supposed to touch it so it's it's it he no longer i guess it was out of hand he no longer accepts that you're
not supposed to touch it so he's touching it in all these different places then i think he just
puts his finger right up underneath the bottom of it and like like pulls a little bit off the nozzle
and then puts it in his mouth it's a tasty treat yeah and very sanitary yeah what do you would he have done with a full
handful he would have had a full snack yeah would have ruined his dinner i mean i didn't grow up
with hand sanitizer it's a relatively new thing that people use yeah and phil's uh yeah you're a
big fan um you're yeah you're you're writing the Purell movie.
Yes.
Well, it's a biopic, but yeah, Purell plays a top role.
Now, do you have a brand loyalty when it comes to these?
Because I know Purell's probably like king of sanitizers.
Yeah, I think Purell's the best because sometimes I'll buy like whatever, like the cheaper.
Store brand.
Yeah, and sometimes it's a little sticky afterwards
ah that's gross that's what's the point yeah and then now some of them has have those little like
they'd be like little blue dots oh yeah and i don't know what happens to those they just like
dissipate when they what's the blue what's the blue dot i don't know it's not like it's they're
not like microbeet exfoliating microbeads that end up in the water.
What are they to let you know that your hands are sanitized?
They might be like pop rocks.
Oh, fun.
Yeah, a little bit of effervescence.
Yeah, make your hand feel a little tingly.
But I was going to say, I didn't grow up with these things.
And as a kid, it would have blown my mind that you put this in your hand,
you rub it, and it just disappears. Well, and also, when you're a kid, anything that's have blown my mind that you put this in your hand, you rub it, and it just disappears.
Well, and also, when you're a kid, anything that's like where it's just free, then you just take, you go crazy with it.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Like, I remember like going to the YMCA and they had like free aftershave.
Just dump that all over yourself.
Yeah.
I remember one year for Christmas, maybe in my in my stocking I got like a pack of
Batman band-aids
and I just put them
You were going to say
Batman after faith.
And I just put them
all on
like on Christmas day.
Yeah.
Walking around
with a bunch of band-aids.
I'm so excited.
Santa was so disappointed
in me.
What's your overheard
there, Graham?
Mine is
So we're recording this
This is the run up to Halloween
Oh, run up to Halloween
This will be released the day before the election
I know
So, you know what?
Make some predictions
Get out there
Vote for your governator
And this also has
This overheard has a political bent
Because there was a guy
I was at Value village uh-huh
and uh he was on the phone i guess with either his whoever he was partnering up with for halloween
okay and he's like okay i've uh i've got everything and uh he was holding a bunch of
stuff in it and he was listing off what he had he's's like, I got the jacket, I got the shirt, I got the pants.
Now all I need to do is find a solid red tie and a Donald Trump wig.
So I was like, oh, the two things that make it a Donald Trump costume?
You found a suit and you're missing the two elements where you go,
oh, yeah, that's a Trump.
Do you think he was really proud of himself
when he was like, oh man, I'll be Donald Trump this year.
It's happening.
No one else will be doing it.
I got it.
I would like to go to a party
where everybody dresses up as Donald Trump,
but everybody thought they were going to be
the only Donald Trump.
That's going to be a lot of parties.
Yeah, I think that is going to be a lot of parties. A lot of parties.
Yeah, I think that is going to be a lot of parties.
And isn't, there's like something that like his costumes are outselling Hillary costumes
at like some kind of insane rate, like 100 to 1 or something.
You know he's proud of that.
Oh, I'm sure.
That statistic.
I mean, he hasn't bragged about it on Twitter, but that's only because people have been like,
don't, don't brag about that. But I'm sure he won't begged about it On Twitter But that's only Because people have been Like don't Don't brag about that
But I'm sure
He won't be able
To resist that for long
Yeah
Number one Halloween
Cut
Thank you America
Yeah
But he'll win right
Huh
He's gonna win
Halloween for sure
He's gonna win Halloween
Well I mean that
If you win Halloween
You win the election
Traditionally
There's never been
A president elected
That hasn't won Halloween
Yeah
You win Halloween You win the election win Halloween, you win the election.
And if you save the cheerleader.
You save the world.
That's right.
Did you find an overheard?
I mean, I, to prepare for.
How crazy this is going to be.
No, to prepare for this.
You hear, I hear so many overheards.
Yeah.
More than most people.
hear so many overheards yeah uh more than most people and i always record them in my phone and i just realize i'm just like scrolling through my phone and it just says new recording like 806
so i think i often record them and then don't label them so i just scrolled through like 500
but i honestly on my phone i do i'm like really the, oh, I listen to them and then I try to reenact the voices.
Oh, really?
I put a lot of effort into it.
But anyways, I couldn't find the one I was looking for.
But when you guys were talking about the ferry, this did happen last time.
It wasn't like, I remember at one point I was on the road with someone who I was not happy to be on the road for.
I was opening for them.
And I was like, just like, oh man, this weekend
is going to be such a bummer.
And we're on the ferry.
We're going to Victoria.
And over the announcements, I'm like, I go to the,
is it White Spot on the Rhode Island River?
I'm lining up for the White Spot.
And over the announcements, they're like,
there is a pod of porpoises on the stern star side
of the ship or whatever.
And people start like filing out to see these like dolphins or whatever and i'm like getting my food that i'm not even happy that i
have to eat this food i'm just like miserable it's just like death yeah yeah so everyone files out so
i get my food all of a sudden i'm like the front of the line and i think like oh these guys are
suckers man so i get in i pay for my food i put it down on the table and i start uh i start walking out to
see the dolphins or whatever and it just to me it felt like such a simpson moment they i guess i'd
missed them because now everyone's like filing in as i'm getting out and i hear it and i just
think i hear a guy it's like one of the first times i was on the ferry i didn't know i hear
a guy go 25 years never seen that before and i'm like ah jesus christ i go back my burger's cold oh no yeah but uh yes i didn't get to see
because i guess that's a real rare occurrence i've never seen i've never seen anything never
not even a seal it was a pod whole pod whole pod yeah wow i mean you know what if they announced
it i would have went out to see it? Would you have not lined up for your food?
Yeah, I would have just, no, I wouldn't.
I would have stayed inside.
Yeah.
Tortoises.
Yeah.
Tortoises.
Tortoises, yeah.
Or a tortoise on a jet ski.
Oh, boy.
No, I've seen whales.
Really?
I would love to see that.
I've heard them announce whales, and I've just been too lazy to get out.
Yeah.
Unless they're really close, they just look like maybe it's a log in the water or something.
You know what I mean?
No, I think porpoises, they build their tricks.
Oh, really?
I think they jump in the wake.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's fun.
I hear.
Yeah.
25 years.
25 more years.
But you don't know how often that guy rode the ferry.
Once in 25 years.
I feel like he implied it was like frequent.
Yeah, he was wearing a captain's hat.
Yeah, he was wearing a hat.
Now, we also have overheards sent in to us from people around the globe.
If you want to send one into us,
you can send it into SPY at maximum fun.org.
Uh,
this first one is from Eric from Boston.
Uh,
I was walking across a,
uh,
college campus behind a group of construction workers while a stereotypically
dressed professor was approaching us from across the quad.
Quad, real university.
Oh, really? Oh, just some school in Boston, eh?
Remarking on his attire, one of the construction workers said,
Look at this guy, so smug in his sweater vest, what a tool.
A few seconds later, when we were passing him, he greeted the construction workers by saying,
Good morning, gentlemen, to which they replied good morning sir as he was getting out of earshot that first construction
worker said god i fucking hate that guy i hate everything about him right down to his mother's
birth canal then there was a long pause and there aren't a lot of birth canals i don't like
oh pretty good yeah pretty good pretty deep. Pretty deep-seated resentment for that guy.
But really, what's this fucking Frasier guy doing walking around?
Good morning, gentlemen.
Yeah, who says that?
Hammer any nails today?
He can bond with anyone.
Yeah, that's true.
But that's life of the construction worker at a university
campus there's no whistling no whistling no you're just you're just constructioning and yeah
conversing with the professors and oh yeah it's a real uh when the when the schools close down
for the night solving math problems solving math problems on the board not letting anybody but the board's got all this drywall all over it well it was definitely one
of those construction guys i majored in enjoying apples um this next one comes from uh possibly
longest time listener uh abby's aunt sheila Oh. This is walking past a tall hedge.
I heard a man in a backyard say to an unknown person, very aggressively,

What's the deal with this?
I guess
It just evolved differently.
This last overheard comes from Danielle A. in Dallas, Texas.
My three-year-old daughter likes to practice floating, blowing bubbles, and swimming while in the bathtub.
Yesterday during her bath, she kept trying to put her head underwater, so I tried to explain to and show her how she could do it.
After a number of failed attempts.
She turns to me and sighs and says.
Mama.
I can't put my head underwater.
I'm just a little kid.
With little boobs.
Adorable right?
Yeah.
If you had big boobs.
It would help you put your head underwater.
Yeah.
I don't know how the mother was showing.
That's why David Blaine's so good.
Yeah.
He's our largest chested comedian.
Magician.
Does he still do stuff?
Yeah, sure.
I haven't seen him.
I mean, do stuff is relative.
He stays perfectly still.
But I remember he was quite active in the keeping still.
Yeah, yeah. But I think there's only so many, like, where is he going to active in the keeping still. Yeah, yeah.
But I think
there's only so many
like where is he
going to keep still next?
Yeah.
Outer space.
Once that becomes
a possibility.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Keep still outer space.
Play golf,
keep still,
all those things
you can do on the moon.

overheard. I was at the mall the other day riding down an escalator behind a mom with her approximately 16-year-old son.
And he was pleading with her to let him drive home from the mall.
But the mom wasn't having that.
And she was saying how she was worried that it's a very busy parking lot,
not much room to navigate out of the stall.
It can be really tricky.
To which the son enthusiastically responded,
But mom, I'm the king of pulling out.
That's not what i heard uh yeah because that's a regional thing you know the different kings of different
fiefdoms oh sure i think yeah yeah you gotta do an obstacle course yeah there's not just one king
of pulling out no yeah there's a new the whole hierarchy yeah yeah there's one king of pulling out. No. Yeah. There's the whole hierarchy, right? Yeah. Yeah. There's dukes of pulling out.
The jack.
Fun.
That's something.
Learning to drive, I never would have volunteered for it.

And in the states, at rental car lots, they don't have them here, I don't think,
but they have the severe tire damage spikes.
Yes, all right.
If you go the wrong direction.
Yeah.
How often does this happen?

they're still like really gruesome looking.
They're like these like fangs that come out.

craziest highway ever, just like circling the airport.
