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
Starting point is 00:02:41 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
Starting point is 00:02:51 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
Starting point is 00:02:56 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
Starting point is 00:03:03 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
Starting point is 00:03:26 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.
Starting point is 00:04:05 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.
Starting point is 00:04:21 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.
Starting point is 00:04:55 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,
Starting point is 00:05:08 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.
Starting point is 00:05:17 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.
Starting point is 00:05:25 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?
Starting point is 00:05:42 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
Starting point is 00:05:51 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
Starting point is 00:05:59 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?
Starting point is 00:06:11 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?
Starting point is 00:06:23 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,
Starting point is 00:06:32 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.
Starting point is 00:06:44 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
Starting point is 00:07:21 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.
Starting point is 00:07:42 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?
Starting point is 00:08:14 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
Starting point is 00:08:39 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
Starting point is 00:08:56 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.
Starting point is 00:09:10 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.
Starting point is 00:09:23 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.
Starting point is 00:09:39 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
Starting point is 00:10:00 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.
Starting point is 00:10:16 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,
Starting point is 00:10:28 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.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Big Brian's belt. Yeah. Yeah. The, uh, dipper, the dipper, two different sizes. Oh yeah. Yeah, the Dipper. The Dipper. Two different sizes.
Starting point is 00:10:47 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?
Starting point is 00:10:59 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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.
Starting point is 00:11:51 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.
Starting point is 00:12:08 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.
Starting point is 00:12:22 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.
Starting point is 00:12:32 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.
Starting point is 00:12:46 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.
Starting point is 00:13:11 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.
Starting point is 00:13:21 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.
Starting point is 00:13:32 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
Starting point is 00:13:45 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
Starting point is 00:13:52 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
Starting point is 00:14:00 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
Starting point is 00:14:07 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
Starting point is 00:14:16 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
Starting point is 00:14:24 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.
Starting point is 00:14:34 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?
Starting point is 00:14:49 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.
Starting point is 00:15:04 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
Starting point is 00:15:45 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
Starting point is 00:16:35 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
Starting point is 00:17:06 You know If the other I don't know who the other members Of the police The entourage are Well There's E Yeah
Starting point is 00:17:13 There's Adrian Gorenje There's Vinny Vinny Chase Yeah There's Johnny Drama Johnny Drama
Starting point is 00:17:20 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.
Starting point is 00:17:45 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
Starting point is 00:18:05 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.
Starting point is 00:18:30 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.
Starting point is 00:18:39 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.
Starting point is 00:18:47 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.
Starting point is 00:18:58 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.
Starting point is 00:19:19 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
Starting point is 00:20:03 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.
Starting point is 00:20:24 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
Starting point is 00:20:46 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
Starting point is 00:21:08 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
Starting point is 00:21:14 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:57 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?
Starting point is 00:22:18 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?
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:42 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
Starting point is 00:23:16 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.
Starting point is 00:23:35 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,
Starting point is 00:23:47 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.
Starting point is 00:24:02 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
Starting point is 00:24:12 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
Starting point is 00:24:19 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.
Starting point is 00:24:28 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.
Starting point is 00:24:37 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.
Starting point is 00:24:42 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.
Starting point is 00:24:58 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
Starting point is 00:25:18 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
Starting point is 00:25:55 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.
Starting point is 00:26:15 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.
Starting point is 00:26:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:08 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.
Starting point is 00:27:21 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
Starting point is 00:27:57 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.
Starting point is 00:28:15 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.
Starting point is 00:28:40 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.
Starting point is 00:28:55 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.
Starting point is 00:29:13 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
Starting point is 00:29:28 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
Starting point is 00:29:35 you should do crowd work oh yeah no I I have a bit that I say this couple broke up at my show yeah
Starting point is 00:29:43 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.
Starting point is 00:29:56 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.
Starting point is 00:30:05 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.
Starting point is 00:30:21 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.
Starting point is 00:30:35 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 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?
Starting point is 00:31:12 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
Starting point is 00:31:29 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
Starting point is 00:32:10 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
Starting point is 00:32:29 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
Starting point is 00:32:38 You know, wear a trench coat Coffee Shoot the shit They have like a partner Buddy I think nowadays Wearing a trench coat Would
Starting point is 00:32:45 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
Starting point is 00:32:55 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.
Starting point is 00:33:07 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.
Starting point is 00:33:25 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.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Totally. Yeah. And I always thought of, uh, cops is older than me. And now that has, that is most definitely changed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:43 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
Starting point is 00:34:05 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
Starting point is 00:35:07 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
Starting point is 00:35:35 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.
Starting point is 00:35:52 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
Starting point is 00:36:15 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.
Starting point is 00:37:07 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
Starting point is 00:37:27 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
Starting point is 00:37:34 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
Starting point is 00:37:42 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.
Starting point is 00:38:08 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.
Starting point is 00:38:32 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.
Starting point is 00:38:47 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.
Starting point is 00:38:58 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
Starting point is 00:39:09 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.
Starting point is 00:39:16 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
Starting point is 00:39:23 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.
Starting point is 00:39:37 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.
Starting point is 00:39:53 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
Starting point is 00:40:05 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.
Starting point is 00:40:35 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?
Starting point is 00:40:47 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.
Starting point is 00:41:06 So it was like, Lady Gaga, this song. Yeah. The guy was like, well, you know who Lady Gaga likes? David Bowie.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Yeah. So we went to Victoria and yeah, thanks to everyone. A lot of people traveled from out of town. Yeah, from Chicago.

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?
Starting point is 00:41:37 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.
Starting point is 00:41:52 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.

And Gray had the idea of they should just have a real-time video of it.
Starting point is 00:44:11 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?
Starting point is 00:44:22 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
Starting point is 00:44:31 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
Starting point is 00:44:36 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
Starting point is 00:44:43 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
Starting point is 00:44:52 yeah they did and it was it was fun it was it's only the second hockey game I've ever been to
Starting point is 00:44:59 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.
Starting point is 00:45:05 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.
Starting point is 00:45:17 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
Starting point is 00:45:33 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.
Starting point is 00:45:50 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
Starting point is 00:46:31 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.
Starting point is 00:46:52 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.
Starting point is 00:47:04 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
Starting point is 00:47:32 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
Starting point is 00:48:08 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
Starting point is 00:48:16 really yeah and we were like oh big eyebrows are back I think we like it yeah yeah we were talking about

Starting point is 00:49:12 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

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.
Starting point is 00:52:00 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.
Starting point is 00:52:09 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.
Starting point is 00:52:25 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,
Starting point is 00:52:42 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
Starting point is 00:52:53 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.
Starting point is 00:53:02 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?
Starting point is 00:53:29 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?
Starting point is 00:53:43 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

Starting point is 01:02:05 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.
Starting point is 01:02:23 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.
Starting point is 01:02:38 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.
Starting point is 01:03:02 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,
Starting point is 01:03:15 you know, kind of like on a ice cream cone. Like, Oh, Oh yeah. A little twist. Yeah. Like half vanilla,
Starting point is 01:03:21 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
Starting point is 01:04:13 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.
Starting point is 01:04:42 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.
Starting point is 01:05:13 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.
Starting point is 01:05:38 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
Starting point is 01:05:53 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.

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
Starting point is 01:07:05 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.
Starting point is 01:07:23 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.
Starting point is 01:07:40 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

Oh, really? I put a lot of effort into it. But anyways, I couldn't find the one I was looking for.
Starting point is 01:08:52 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,
Starting point is 01:09:15 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
