funny comedian mr dino archie thank you man i miss you i miss your people. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Well, tell me about my people. Your people have a lot of digital graphic people who do computers.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, woke.
You have a very woke.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, do we?
I think so.
I'd say so.
We try to keep it woke.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's get to know us.
Yep.
Get to know us.
Now, since you were last here, were you, speaking of woke, last time you were here, were you swole?
Yeah.
I think I might have been a little hub.
Yeah.
I don't know if I was swole, but I may have been a little hub.
Okay.
All right.
What's hub?
I don't know where it came from,
but it's another word for swole.
Oh, okay.
I don't know what.
You're swole, you're hub.
Hub.
I think this sounds,
somebody must have like looked at a guy in jail
and was like, hey dog, you hub.
And then that guy killed that guy.
We were in jail, they were just friends.
And he goes, thanks man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thanks for spying on me. We're both hub now. Why were just friends. And he goes, thanks, man. Thanks for swatting me.
We're both up now.
Why do you got to go so naked?
The warden's been riding my ass.
You're looking up.
What do you see?
So, Dino, I follow you on Instagram.
That's mostly where I learn about your life.
I posted too many pictures yesterday.
Oh, that's not what I was going to jump ahead.
But I feel like the last time you were here, it was maybe right at the beginning of it.
You don't really do it much anymore.
But you on Instagram critique people's parallel parking.
Oh, yeah.
And it's very entertaining.
Oh, man.
Okay.
All right.
parallel parking.
Oh, yeah.
And it's very entertaining.
Oh, man.
Okay.
All right.
And it's to the point where if I see
a really bad
parallel parking job,
I instantly
think of you.
Oh, yeah.
I became
synonymous.
Is that the word?
Yeah, because
I became anonymous.
Yeah, you became anonymous.
Yeah.
If you see a really good
parallel parking job,
you don't notice.
Well, that's the key
to a good
parallel parking job. Yeah, that's the thing. If you see someone doing it really well job you know you don't notice well that's the key to a good parallel you i yeah that's the thing you see someone doing it really well you know yeah you catch somebody
in the act but then also i've seen some parallel parking job like that they already stationed and
i'm like and this is nice like it's like a detective i feel feel like I could remove in my head the cars. I can picture how they got in.
Oh, yeah, like that's your specific talent.
He can sense how the parallel parking happens.
Yeah, I can look at myself.
Have you ever seen the show Hannibal before it was canceled?
It's like that.
I get in the car, and I was like, yeah, he looked over the left shoulder.
Two cars were coming.
You could tell from the tires,
marks right there,
they hit the brakes
and he said,
like I get it.
So you're like
a parking enforcement officer
who can get into the mind
of people,
how people park.
You're the bone collector
of parking.
I love this show.
I think I'm gonna pitch it.
Yeah, please.
Because I gotta do,
you know,
in LA,
you gotta do
how to pitch me. Yeah, you gotta do a lot of pitch meetings
so pitch your real idea
then pitch that
I do have this joke idea
that's the snake oil though
you gotta go to a bunch of pitch meetings
even if you got no story
so it's just kind of fun
and you go what about a show
about a guy who's pitching a show
yeah and a mug You go, what about a show about a guy who's pitching a show? Yeah.
A mug.
A bottle of water.
Yeah.
You go, you see a poster, as good as it gets.
Think as good as it gets.
Mug.
He goes, that.
There, look at the poster.
As good as it gets, too.
It got better. That is a good tagline for that movie that is
good and that was a good move i used to fall asleep to that movie oh yeah in high school
okay i think that's what it is and i made love to it in college sorry i probably did but i realize
i'm aging because of the movie references sure Sure. Yeah. That's my whole life is all movie.
So what,
what's your,
uh,
go to like,
what's the best parallel parking in the movie?
Oh yeah.
Is it Charlize Theron in,
uh,
Italian job?
Yeah.
Yeah.
When she did that,
there's some stuff in,
uh,
in gone in 60 seconds.
That was pretty bad.
Yeah.
They had some real deal.
Fast and Furious,
they're all willy-nilly.
They're all over the place.
Yeah, they just leave
their cars wherever.
They should call it
the willy and the nilly.
Hey, I'm a bitch now.
I'm not everything.
I'm just kind of still.
Two willy, two nilly.
He's willy, he's nilly.
They don't know how to park.
Yeah, but they push it to the limit
it's about family for them first
there's a good
in the
Woody Allen movie take the money and run
he like describes a nightmare
he has where he's being
carried on a cross
and then they try to parallel park the cross,
and then another cross sneaks in.
That's good.
Yeah, that's good stuff.
That's a good parallel parking.
Are you a good parallel parker?
I am, man.
That was the thing that started that.
What birthed that?
Now, did you learn to drive on a standard?
Man, my buddy, my Canadian friend, tried to teach me on a standard or i i man i my buddy my canadian friend tried to
teach me on a standard oh really yeah and uh this is in high school and i was like uh i don't know
what i'm doing right i can't do all these things at once i just didn't have that it's easy for a
lot of people i just didn't i can't play the drums either you know what i mean like i feel like it's
all yeah whenever you got a coordination yeah yeah but i could play basketball which is weird i was very
coordinated yeah but i couldn't do sticks can you dribble with both hands yeah yeah so
can you spin a ball on your finger no i can't do that okay
you got me no i can't i can't do it either but you started dancing like you could do it
i can maybe do my thumb a little bit yeah so uh because i haven't parallel parked in quite some
time so right you don't drive yeah so i don't know if my but back in the day i think it was
really good at it but does it go away you drive the time, so you wouldn't be the right guy to ask.
No,
no.
Um,
I think it,
you know,
like it depends on the car though,
too.
That's why I would post those.
I would brag about that.
Yeah.
That was the only thing I'm like,
look,
I'm good at this.
But the,
who's at some point you're,
I'm lying to you people.
If I don't tell you how good I am.
And you're hiring your light under a bushel.
That's right.
Yeah.
Let it shine.
Let it shine.
Right.
Right.
So I put, I would like, I rent a different car every week because that was my lifestyle.
Man.
Sure.
Boy, oh boy, that sounds cool.
No, no, no.
It's unstable and expensive.
That's all that is.
I was renting different cars.
And so every week it was a different car and one time they gave me like this dodge ram 850 wow payload you know 10 000
thing they told me is 10 000 payload i was like i'll take it i don't fucking need that
i need to know because i'm going to a comedy club.
In the country or the city?
The heart of the city.
I mean, if it's got a good payload, I might go over some rocks.
I don't know.
Yeah, so I parked this Dodge.
I was like, it was sweet, man.
I was like, this is too good.
And I turned the rim, the wheels, the front wheels, just a little bit up depending on if you're uphill or down there or if you just want to stunt uh-huh if you just whatever sure whatever there's yeah you know you can take liberties you know just
like salt that's all yeah that's all guy
yeah yeah when i get it i feel good. It just made me feel alive again.
I just wanted to hold on to that.
So I put it out there, man, and people started to get blinded.
Yeah, I can see why.
Because my thing is I'm a decent parallel parker.
I'd say I have like a 90% average.
Nice.
Yeah.
Like maybe 1 in 10 I have to redo. And you're also a very% average. Nice. But I, I, yeah, like maybe one in 10, I have to redo.
And you're,
but you're also a very smooth parallel Parker.
Oh,
you know,
lots of people are very like,
nah,
that's the herky,
herky,
jerky,
jerky.
Yeah.
But the,
the way I'm the worst is if there's an audience,
like if I'm parking somewhere and there's like a patio of people.
Oh,
so that's where you having drinks outside.
That's where I shot.
Oh, like, like, I'm not saying, I'm not saying I'm bad, people oh so that's where you having drinks outside see that's that's where i shot oh
like i'm not saying i'm not saying i'm bad but that's where i like well oh yeah there is no
audience i almost feel like robbed right when the heat is on i go like let's let something happens
in me i go it's like i i've never really made it in basketball so i feel like we know not a good drummer and yeah we get it all right so this is what i i feel like when i i bark dope
like that i feel like i like just dunked on somebody yeah and i was like i'm it i'm doing
it right now i remember uh back at the uh comedy club down in kitzelano the urban well
there was the urban well and across the street there was a like a patio and there was this one
night when it was a woman and she was just having the hardest time doing a parallel park and it
became like a block party like everybody like the club empty everybody was watching and then when she
yeah what parallel bargain is some so small that brings it that brings people like
together like almost together when you see like somebody who's like, it's like their third attempt here. Yeah, we started it.
And then everybody's got expertise.
Like, do I?
Yeah, it's hilarious.
I think it's like the last North American human interaction
that's genuine.
Right to where you're minding your fucking business and you're walking down the street you go
what's this monster doing hey buddy are you saying that three people sitting around
recording a podcast is not a genuine interaction
yeah man this is the one where you just like everyone's in on it and you want the person
to do good and then everyone just goes oh yeah no one's rooting against you nah This is the one where you just like everyone's in on it and you want the person to do good.
And then everyone just goes.
Oh, yeah.
No one's rooting against you.
No, no, no.
The one.
Unless you unless you stopped rush hour, you piece of shit.
Yeah.
And you now you're doing you're coming in at the sharp angle.
It's going to take all day.
Then it's like, man, I want, you know, boo him.
Yeah, boo.
Just keep driving.
Yeah.
Everyone starts honking the horn.
When everyone starts laying the horn, it's not them.
It's not a horn of applause.
It's hard to honk your approval.
I mean, there's sort of like a...
That's a good one.
Yeah, that's a good one.
That's a fun one.
Yeah, guys will honk their approval.
Yeah, look at Karacha.
That's a good one. That's what guys will honk a fun one yeah guys will yeah look at Karacha that's a good one
that's what guys
would hug their car
sometimes
wait a minute right
remember that
yeah
and they would
they go like
beep beep
or just one
yeah
like one like
what's the technique
of
of uh
what's that word
like to let
honking
no cat calling
oh yeah
yeah cause that's what
that's what the honker
was for
oh yeah
that's right
just like
beep beep
I feel like beep beep
was how you honk
at a lady
back in the day
they were like
and it has this thing
that makes a sound
when you see a pretty lady
yeah
but now that's sort of
like the automatic sound
that some of them make
when you lock them.
It's just like a little.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have a goose in my car.
Goose going through puberty.
Do it again.
Right before the prom, too.
Now, so you've been all all over the globe every
time i speaking of your instagram every time i see a photo of you online london what is your
instagram by the way yeah the name of it uh dino the beloved there it is oh thanks man um i saw
but yeah you've been all all over the place and uh how have your travels been man this
this yeah these goofs and spoofs man they've been taking me to places i never thought i'd be
you know it's really funny man it it actually is because i've been doing this what 10 almost
10 years now yeah and like before i did comedy is when I like did stuff.
And like,
I think I went to,
I went to Poland to see my brother.
Then I do comedy.
And it's like,
you're in this jail just doing,
telling jokes.
And then it's like,

So, it's been cool, man.
I've been making sure that, like, when I hit these places to, like, you know, Laverne and Shirley the City.
Like, just, it's like an intro to the, yeah.
You do this. You skip around. I'm on a tandem bike, but it's like intro to the yeah you do you skip around i'm on a
tandem bike but it's just me sure in norway you waving some bottles yeah you go to a beer factory
yes yes yeah man let's get out there and live life man that's really cool it's it man yeah so that
that was really cool it was you know and it was really interesting because, I mean, like most countries, but this one, like everybody, they look like Vancouver, you know.
This is Norway?
Norway, Oslo, but everyone spoke Norwegian.
Right.
So all the comics did their set in Norwegian.
The crowd's laughing in Norwegian.
Norwegian's laughs sound different.
No, ho, ho.
Ho, ho.
Ons, ons, ons. And they're doing their thing,, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

ha,
ha,
ha,
ha,
ha,
ha,
ha,
ha,
ha,
ha,
ha,

ha,
ha,
ha,
ha,
and they're doing their thing,
and their comics are doing good too,
even though I don't know what they're saying,
but you can see the rhythm,
you can see each comic was like,
kind of like,
you're like,
oh,
that's kind of like,
that's a Louis C.K. type comic.
Oh,
yeah,
yeah,
he's like,
oh,
he's pointing at his,
he's like,
oh,
I'm a piece of shit.
This kind of guy. I go, okay, I see i see and then it was every comment was different and funny and then i went up and they were like you know they go yeah we
know what you're saying it was almost like you don't have they have the drop on you yeah because
you don't you don't know so you're like on your heels a little bit but then it was just like hey i came all this way let's
now are you the only person on the show doing it in english yeah oh wow yeah huh yeah so that's
think about that for a week you feel like everyone's a spy or something well i'd be worried
that like uh the person ahead of me did all the topics. That's exactly. So it's like,
you really have to double down on you.
Right.
And just go,
this is the most me shit.
It ain't going to be some outside,
you know,
right.
Obstruct peanut butter,
you know,
cause it's like that.
You go,
that do the last three.
That last guy had a jar of it on stage.
I don't know be great jokes.
I was like, nah, man, I'm going to talk about me.
I did a story about acid, doing acid, but it's a love story.
And I just was like, this is what I did.
And when I got in the groove, people were just doing a Norwegian laugh.
And we were cooking, man. We were cooking, man.
We were cooking, baby.
Now, did you do stuff of like, I'm a new person in your country and these are the weird things I've noticed?
I sprinkled a little bit of that.
Some countries love it.
Some countries don't.
They don't go in for that kind of shenanigans.
Where don't they love it?
They don't love it in London. They't they love it they don't love it in
London they don't love it in the UK
very much they're like we know
we know what we are but in Canada
oh we love it
talk about waves coffee
he's been to our coffee shop
yeah
I think it's Norway they're the same too because
they're like you know they didn't want to hear no bullshit about how expensive stuff is or how
cold it is there but if you you know any kind of genuine uh experience i have is mine so i could
say it so i was just like i kind of was you know goofing
with him about how i was like you guys don't you're not much for small talk you know they're
not small talk so something specific and then they're like they just get yes no buses outside
fuck you and i was like and everyone's like yeah that's us and i was like oh okay you know what i mean like yeah i don't know if this observation but it isn't just like some uh broad stroke right ikea right reference you know it's like
you guys you people as are like this a little bit but i don't can't judge you i just met you
but you're not that friendly but i get it because blah blah blah and that shit was funny so people
were commenting on they go we'm glad if
you do it we're glad you're not doing some bullshit like uh yeah yeah yeah no because
yeah you're wasting people's time yeah you didn't go out there in a viking hat
because i think that's pretty
did leave a lot of money on the table yeah you can remind me now i wish you
wouldn't um because no other comics talk about game with i heard game of thrones you hear a
english word and you're like oh okay you know a hitler oh yeah everybody probably hear hitler
man oh man i love it yeah have you been to norway no i've been to sweden and denmark
so the adjacent yeah yeah uh and they're very that it's a lot like here in the the no small talk the
is like people yes are i love it because i don't want small talk yeah i just want to like a polite nod yeah yeah yeah
yes yes no i totally i could see it that's how i felt like it was like there's some hint of
vancouver because they're not rude no but they're not warm right and that warm takes a lot of time
that takes yeah especially if it's not the genuine and stuff and it's like i haven't been talking to people during travel
right will's travel i'm a piece of shit i think like what do you mean like
hey where you from nowhere i'm from no parts unknown i was born on the plane
hey move it along buddy yeah yeah like hey yeah. I'm like, hey, I got a five-hour layover.
How about I just waste this time?
How about we become friends from now?
No, no.
Move it along.
I'm Tom Hanks in the terminal.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
I'm in airports all the time.
And I'm just like, man, I don't want these bullshit, meaningless interactions.
And then if it's a genuine cool conversation then great
yeah i put that up too online like some stupid life hack i was like if if i go will's traveling
you don't have to speak to him you don't have to have a conversation right and i just said that and
then like people was like yeah then there was one guy there's one guy. There was always one guy. Yeah, it was like, well, I think. Yeah, he goes,
although,
they always have an although.
He's like,
man, I stopped listening so long ago.
However,
you could find
some of the best people
through conversation.
Doubtful.
Blah, blah.
Hey, you maniac,
how crazy is your life?
You're just going around
like a guy looking
for silver on the beach
trying to find
a fucking friend in an airport?
Are you nuts?
Yeah.
I'm not crazy, man.
Yeah, I think my kind of policy, the airplane chatter, is if somebody's chatting before all the kind of announcements and stuff, to me stuff. That's fine. That's to me,
that's fine.
Conversation time.
Yeah.
But then once,
once we're talking in the previews,
I'm not going to turn over and give you a dirty look.
Yeah.
But,
but like once we're in air business,
yeah,
no more.
It's me and my magazine.
Like, yeah, it's okay to just be like oh yeah it's so
cold here i can't wait to get to where it's not or vice right right see yeah i get scared man
because it's like who ends it you gotta hope that they more often than not it's me who
right you gotta hope they don't keep that mojo going. Because if you ask the wrong question, then the announcement stops.
They're like, we're ready for the flight.
They go, well, so it's funny you brought that up.
Because I just came from there.
And you're just like, I've gone deaf.
Oh, no.
Oh, well, I guess I just can't talk to you.
I took a sleeping pill.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to pass out.
It's a 40 minute flight.
Yeah.
So you went to Norway.
You were in London.
London.
Yeah.
London was dope, man.
London was fun.
Did you do shows there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I did some shows.
And how do you find it?
Man.
Bingo. Bingo. You find it? Bingo bango.
That's a good review.
That was a solid review.
Yeah, that was good, man.
Because I did
a small club.
No, they parallel park on the other side of the street.
Yeah, I wanted to get
into that mix.
I was like, I don't know what the hell i'm doing this would be exciting you know uh did
you drive over there i didn't i didn't it was just so scary it's scary across the street because
you're used to looking the opposite direction yeah yeah totally i've driven over there and it's
so scary yeah i almost got hit by a bus like four times. Yeah, yeah.
Single, double duck.
Double.
Oh, yeah.
Getting run over in the big city.
But yeah, it's like, because they're all about the... Base?
Well, yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
But the traffic circles over there and nobody from over here kind of knows.
Yeah, how to get down.
Yeah.
The traffic circle get down.
Yeah.
Do you know?
Do you understand traffic circle?
Because I understand that.
I know you got a yield.
I know.
I usually yield.
I'm not a, I just yield.
You'll just yield and just be like, well, I guess I'm not getting wherever I'm going.
I think it's here.
It's the only thing in traffic where the person on the left has the right of way.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
You're right.
But although in Britain, the left is the right.
And they go like they'll drive around and around in these things and we only have
single lane ones they yeah you need to get from the inner lane to the outer lane to get out oh
man yeah no i didn't want to deal with all that math yeah and so i did i just took the tube yeah
took the tube and the gap and um the thing about london is it's so big right you're my calves like my shins were hurting
right yeah two days because it was your hub i'm i'm hub but i wasn't a hub
yeah i just got off this injury and i was like man this is i like this city but
god damn it takes for it this is a journey yeah yeah oh yeah but it's it's cool man
it's london it's like you know i just think about because i was watching the tutors that series for
some reason so then my idea was because it's critically acclaimed that's is that about the
family that farts so that's the tutor that's a fun that's a fun that's a fun kids yeah yeah
so i was just thinking about like kings and
peasants and that was my idea of london which it still is yeah so that it was just that idea was
just like so fascinating to me and then you know now i'm in these pubs and they go to pubs at 600
years old and i was like yeah i guess that math makes sense yeah yeah people been doing this
shit here for so long that it made me excited to
go like,
Oh man.
All right,
cool.
They,
they still,
you guys still care about shows.
They've been putting on shows for centuries.
Yeah.
Well,
yeah.
Shakespeare,
my good boy.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
I'm tired of this shit.
Nah,
man.
They love plays.
Oh,
it's true.
They love it.
And,
and that's what i thought was
cool because it's a uh here you you know you gotta beg people and pay them and shit and bother
them and extort them to come to the show and remind them and remind them yeah just bully them
and do it there was like line up out the door yeah you know and they go just give what you want
on the way out and so
it was just like oh yeah i like this crowd was hungry yeah and they're they and that's what i
noticed too they the other countries want to prove how woke they are so they they they don't want to
they're not you don't they're you say something they're not gonna be like let's eat they're like
oh yeah yeah yeah we we know what's up right we know what's happening in the
states or whatever you know you do a trump joke and they're like oh yeah yeah yeah we yeah they
were you know they talk about talk about the syrian the sanctions you know they like like no i'm not
i don't know i don't know yeah yeah yeah the bbc about fiscal ball yeah do your planned parenthood
we're woke we're woke bullies.
Yeah.
So, no, it was fine, man.
I had a good time.
I, you know, my whole thing was just try to be my, be myself and see if these, if these peasants and kings would get it.
And they, you know, they were like, yeah, this shit's funny.
So it made me want to go, you know, do that kind of Edinburgh.
You've done Edinburgh.
I have.
Have you guys done the podcast? No no would you do it is that a thing that would make sense i don't know
you have to do a bunch yeah you'd have to do to make it just work yeah financially but uh
we yeah we would we'd go well well i mean we haven't talked about it. Yeah, I mean. Okay. Theoretically. Theoretically. Yeah.
Guys, I want to manage you.
We're listening.
How, and you went to Edinburgh.
Yeah, we've talked. Yeah, I went twice.
That's right.
The first time was okay.
And then the second time, it really got my ass handed to me.
In which, like, audience participation?
Yeah, because I think if you go there the first year,
you got that mystique.
Nobody knows who you are, so you get a lot of reviews.
And you got a lot of people coming out because they want to be,
you know, so weird.
They want to discover something.
Yeah, they want to say I saw it, you know,
before it became big or whatever.
Okay.
And the second time, like, I saw thought and it's still not bad yeah yeah yeah
and i'm mad at this yeah it's so big yeah unless you like really uh really really knocked it out
of the park that first time the second time is a bit uh but it's a lot of fun right right i like
yeah i want to do it at least once yeah it's just it's a big commitment
because you're there for a whole month and you're doing shows every day even if only four people
show up yeah gotta do the show and they like you want to talk about an audience that will not
show how woke they are about anything they're asleep
like they will not meet you halfway on anything
if they don't like it.
But I think you do very well.
At what point did you ever, like,
give up during a show?
I mean, not give up.
I mean, stop fighting.
You know what I mean?
No, I never did.
Just go on autopilot?
No, no, no, no.
No more so, like,
if they're not embracing what you're saying, just be like, not autopilot,
like mailing it in, but just more like, I'm going to go rogue.
I'm going to go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like I'm going to just do.
You're not buying what I'm selling.
You're not buying this snake oil.
So let me grab this other bottle.
Yeah.
Of my own.
Let me do my old show that got reviews.
So that's the good thing about going there for the first time,
because you're basically just doing your act.
And so if the audience isn't buying it, you can switch to another gear.
But then if you go with a show that's just like a one.
Oh, it's stuck in his theme.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, you can't just go,
man, fuck this.
Yeah.
I'm doing a different show.
Yogurt's weird.
Yeah, I'm doing the whole series
of Breaking Bad.
One Man Breaking Bad.
One Man Breaking Bad.
Yeah.
That's why I'm,
yeah, that's what's making me
a little bit like
hesitant about going.
Not even really that, but just more like if i if i'm doing something and the crowd is like man this this ain't it it's like why am i watching a 60 minute
parallel parking hannibal yeah he's talking about It's on the wrong side of the road. From what I know.
Right, and I'm just like sweating.
I'm like, um, but the funny thing is, then the lady, she pops out.
I can't come out.
I'm like, look, no one's buying this.
I got some other funny stuff.
So as good as it gets, eh?
Yeah, I got plenty of stuff
for you
cause right when you do a comedy
it's such a fucking it's a funny
it's cool because it's like
you know like you don't have to change
people's minds right you just
that's a plus if that happens
but it's just like hey man this is
what I think is funny right
and I hope you do too
yeah and I've tested it out
i'm not i'm a professional that's just my approach now and eventually i'll be gone so yeah yeah
yeah i don't know if that's the right we're not in this forever like we're not you just have to
watch a few minutes of it yeah and if And if you listen, it's good stuff.
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
People say it's good.
It's not even for me.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Anyway, if you don't like it, that's fine.
But yeah, it's also weird because, like, you might get a time slot that's not the night
time.
So you may be doing your show every day at
3 p.m.
And then you're just like,
you guys don't
like comedy at all.
You're in afternoon mode.
Just thinking about ice
cream the whole time. Yeah, that's all I think about.
And they're just looking outside.
They're looking at the sun
while you're playing. i'm like why do
i leave the windows open in this theater you can go out there no no i'll stay i'll be grudgingly
yeah he goes i'll stay begrudgingly yeah everybody's having so much fun outside yeah
like it's the whole idea is supposed to be a good time this shit is stressful man it shouldn't be so i'm i'm getting
in a man i'm that's what i'm working on man it was like i'm gonna travel now which is great
because you go i want to be a traveling comedian and you go okay now i'm doing that but it's like
man just traveling sucks yeah you're like i gotta get i gotta get oh yeah you go that's that's
something's not calibrated right there. That's not fair.
I'm like, so I got the fun back into it.
Good.
So I was like, yeah, man.
Except when the airport trip, I'm a Nazi.
I'm a bad guy.
When anybody shows up late, right?
Adults.
Adults.
Who don't know.
Who don't know the computer.
They still don't know. Who don't know the computer. They still don't know.
And the water.
Yeah.
I mean, a guy who works at the airport is silently just sitting there just boiling.
And I'm like, look, man, get your shitty energy away from me.
Get up an hour earlier.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get there.
Or think back to the last time you were at an airport.
You're allowed to take as many trays as you want you don't have to cram everything into one yeah you want to be so frantic that can't be a good way to live because i'm i just met you
stranger and i hate your energy right yeah yeah not because i'm a hateful person just because
your life's unorganized yeah Yeah. And now you need to
make us all feel that shit.
You know,
cutting in line
and
bludgeoning
and all this negativity
and I'm just like,
I realize that's the part
that was pissing me off
because as soon as I get
to the hotel,
I'm like,
oh,
hotel.
Yeah,
well,
yeah,
I get to tell jokes now.
That's fun,
you know.
But the,
I was behind a lady, this was not that long ago who
was having a fit because she said it took so long to get through security
yeah yeah security loves hearing that tell it to the judge so yeah and the security person was like
well as a matter of our policy we time all of our interactions so i know exactly how
long you've been here so it was like seeing somebody being like your honor i'd like to
submit this evidence and then just seeing it shot yeah i was like oh that's so sweet
yeah it's like a woman was like i've been here for 12 minutes and i'm like i've been
behind everyone here for seven so yeah that i think about that too it's like what are the
like
I try to get beyond
if I have the time
beyond the
superficial complaint
and go
what is this person
really
asking for
in life
I like
special treatment
yeah
yeah
well yeah
why do you
why does time
not apply to you
you weirdo and why does this why do you think these people give a fuck?
They only listen in because they have the uniform, and they're getting paid.
They don't want to talk to you.
I remember once I said this kind of exact same complaint.
I was like, well, how do people not know about the water and all the things?
And then somebody made me feel bad because they were like, well, not everybody flies all the time like you.
And I was like, I felt bad.
But then I was like,
if I was flying for my first time,
I'd show up early.
Yeah.
You can't get around that.
I don't, that's, yeah.
And it's been 10 years of the liquid.
Oh, yeah.
Like, even if you fly twice a year,
you should know.
And then, okay, let's do that then.
This is your first time flying.
First time flying.
Why?
How are you not amazed?
Yeah.
Why are you so naked?
Yeah.
Why are you not like, holy shit.
Like, so we're going to get on that thing and be in the air?
Yeah, like we're in this crazy building that, like, nothing looks like an airport but an airport.
Yeah. Yeah. That's true. airport, but an airport. Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
You're not a beloved.
Yeah.
You're just a fucking first time piece of shit.
You're a goon.
You're a goon.
You're a goon, yeah.
Yeah.
That's a bad goon.
A bad goon.
Just go in there and just, which I like sometimes too. Yeah, that's a bad goon. A bad goon just going in there.
Which I like sometimes, too.
So it's hard.
It's weird.
This idea of judging and being your own judge and accepting people and judging others silently.
Yeah.
You're on my team.
That's what it says in the Bible.
Judge everybody in your own head.
Well, the Bible didn't have lineups.
No!
There are no lineups in the Bible.
People just knew.
Graham, sometimes you remind me of this.
What is the name of the place, like there's a bench that you go in the airport in Heathrow? In London Heathrow, for a long time, where you had to take your shoes off to go through security
and then the bench where
everybody puts their shoe back on
had a sign that said it was the
shoe repatriation
area.
So that was like the word for putting your
shoes back on.
You're being reunited with
your...
Wow.
I was like, that's a real nice way to put that. You're being reunited with your... Wow. Yeah.
I was like, that's a real nice way to put that.
Yeah, yeah.
They're putting just a real stake on that.
That's like, they're selling the sizzle and not the steak.
Yeah.
There's a fine guy making a lot of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Repository iteration.
Yeah.
What?
Don't worry, it's a word. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Repository iteration. Yeah. What? Recurrent.
Don't worry.
It's a word.
Yeah.
I assure you.
That's cool.
Yeah.
So that's,
well, it's nice
to have you back.
Man, it's good to be back
with you guys, man.
I miss you guys, man.
I miss, you know,
funny people
and good people
in the city.
You guys are the best.
You guys are like the stewards of the city. You guys are the best. You guys are like the stewards of the city.
You're like Rod Stewart.
Yeah, we're like the Rod Stewart's of the city.
Dave, what's going on with you?
Well, I've been Rod Stewart-ing
around the house.
Looking at my body. Do I think it's sexy?
Yeah.
It's a baby yesterday though.
Yeah.
Trying to find myself on the right side of the scale um i uh
having the second uh baby yeah has made it very hard to binge watch things like we can make we
maybe carve out an hour to watch a thing together sure a day do you like watching it that are you
do you like watching it that way we Do you like watching it that way?
We have no choice. We can't keep up now.
It's gotten to be annoying where there's two or three things
that we just
don't know what we're going to watch
next.
You're all caught up on your Peppa Pigs
and your Daniel
Tigers.
And the Tio the bus.
They all
take over everything.
So they get to watch all the shows.
Yes. Over and over.
All the shots. But we've been watching
we're finally
almost wrapped up on season
two of Fargo. Oh yes.
Have you watched this?
I have.
I haven't had a chance.
Season three has started.
Yeah.
But season two is great.
Yeah.
It's got Kirsten Dunst.
Yeah.
I'm still in love with her.
Oh, after all these years.
Apparently.
Yeah.
She's not even a nice person in the show.
No.
There's nothing warm about her.
Her pants are unattractive but she apparently
uh the guy i guess that plays her husband they're engaged in real life yeah oh wow they met on set
and it's a it's a connection i hope i hope that it works you know what i like i do like her man
i like her i just didn't like her character in um spider-man oh yeah maybe it isn't her but i don't read comic books so i know that
the comic books the movies uh have to be close to the character yeah i just don't like that
yeah she's fine i forget what her whole deal was i just remember spider-man kissed her upside down
in the rain it was when she tried to make her new dude like her old dude. She's like, kiss me upside down.
Oh, really?
That was so unfair.
Was that the third Spider-Man movie?
I know.
Very unfair.
That's fucking not cool.
If I did that, that's just so slime.
Yeah.
I don't like it when the old Spider-Man used to kiss me upside down.
What do you want i don't
like when like movie sequels have breakups in them like like you have to follow it like oh
that's season four of friends or whatever yeah yeah those two weren't dating but these two were
yeah totally is she dating Dr. Octopus?
He said, no, no, no.
He goes, no, she just went out on a date with the Hobgoblin.
That was a fling.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She just was confused.
But that's a very good point, the upside down kiss thing.
It's like, stop trying to recreate it.
The most iconic moment in his history.
Yeah, that's like Rose or Pearl River, the Titanic
going on another boat and be like
hold me like this.
No, not even a boat, but just like
the balcony of a fucking apartment.
Just always with the balcony
this lady. Oh, brother.
And she goes, did your ex
use to do this shit? No,, no, no, just for her.
No, no, no,
I just like this.
Do you paint?
Trying to make me Jack.
Yeah.
Let me be me.
Yeah,
she's good, though.
Yeah, she's good.
Oh, boy.
Got that,
you know,
bring it on. It was great. Bring it on. Recently, that one she was in with Cisco was really good. Oh, boy. Got that, you know, bring it on.
It was great.
Bring it on.
Recently, there was.
That one she was in with Cisco was really good.
Oh, the prom.
Go to the prom.
Yeah.
Prom movie.
They just, it was like the anniversary of her doing a cover of the song Turning Japanese.
What?
Kirsten Dunst?
Kirsten Dunst.
Kirsten Dunst? Kirsten Dunst. Kirsten Dunst?
Yeah, she did a video
for it where she's like
running around in downtown Tokyo
and she's dressed like
I don't know, Harajuku girl?
She sings it?
Yeah, she sings it.
She wasn't like Lindsay Lohan or
one of these
singing actresses.
No, but it was
part of some exhibition
and she covered the song and it was
being passed around this week and I was like,
huh. It was just one
of those things. Like, nope, didn't know that existed.
That's cool. Yeah. So I'm getting
the word out. Yeah. Oh, boy.
Well, I'm going to check it out
before I am in love with it.
Yeah. So the show has her on it.
You're talking about Fargo.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it's weird, like, to have one of your old crushes show up on a good show.
Yeah, that's true.
I haven't seen season three yet, but it's got Ewan McGregor.
Not that he was a crush, but he was.
Well, hey, you know, I wouldn't follow you.
I am, right?
You shoot for the moon.
Yeah.
It looks like season three is a little goofy
because he plays two characters,
and one of them, like, once you do two characters,
it's a little Norbit.
Yeah.
Yeah. Although, honestly, like like when i first saw the trailer for the first season and i saw billy bob thornton with his haircut i was like
here we go oh boy and then yeah there's something about a cartoonish you know character that just
takes you out when it out of it yeah someone who's just over the top yeah
yeah there was oh what's the uh who's the guy that we were talking a couple weeks ago that we
can't stand british actor uh real skinny guy played stephen hawking oh and he read me and
he can take you out of a movie so fast yeah he's he's acting so hard yeah and you're like oh you know
the guy i do i didn't see that i know the dude yeah did he win something did he win he won he
won an oscar for that i think for that i could tell by his speech i was like i don't know but
when you see him you're like is he all theater is he like he doesn't have any he just seems to take roles that are like that like high um
high ratio high percentage of like oscar winners will play like he was the danish girl right oh
yeah that was bullshit he was he was stephen hawking yeah like he'll do a biopic he'll do a biopic. He'll do like a disabled character. Yeah. Yeah. And he was in that crazy fucking movie,
uh,
Jupiter ascending.
Oh,
right.
And he's just like,
I guess the director was like,
you know what?
Do whatever you want.
Jesus.
I don't give a shit.
Man,
what a con man.
I like this guy.
Yeah.
Yeah. I like this guy. Now that this guy now that I think about it
he figured it out
because
yeah
what is Jupiter Ascending
is it Channing Tatum
yeah
like rollerblading on Mars
yeah
and he's a part man
part wolf
and
and Mila Kunis
and boy oh boy
it is
it is honestly
like the craziest movie I've seen
since
I think the other movie that those guys made
that was like about
yeah
didn't they make one where it was like
did they Cloud Atlas
that was previously
the craziest movie
I've ever seen.
Whoa.
That movie was nuts.
Wasn't it nuts?
There were parts of it
where you're like,
okay, no,
it's starting to make sense now
and then it's just like,
whoa.
Have you seen it?
No.
Oh, man.
Hey, he,
I was like,
okay, this is a comedy.
I get it.
This is a comedy
without the punch,
without the punchline because it was like, okay, this is a comedy. I get it. This is a comedy without the punchlines.
Because it was like, it was Tom Hanks' homage to Nutty Professor.
In the future.
With a floating building.
He played so many characters, dude, that were all dumb.
And I love Tom Hanks.
Lord knows I do.
Yeah.
So.
But this was really like.
He played a black dude.
Kind of.
Yeah.
Kind of a black guy. And I was like, oh, come on.
Oh, really?
It was crazy.
I'm.
Because I am.
I've sort of avoided Tom Hanks.
But now that I'm a dad, I'm like, I loved,
you know,
Forrest Gump and Big
and all that stuff.
But then,
now that I'm a dad,
I'm like,
Bridges Fives looks pretty good.
When is Sully coming on table?
Yeah.
So you noticeably watch movies different now well it's like uh if i'll
get an afternoon to myself that one day i was like oh geez bridge of spies four bucks on itunes
yeah i can't afford not yeah well i know it's i know it's gonna to be, I know I'm going to enjoy Tom Hanks' performance. Yeah.
No, it's not really going to be, you know, it's not an iconic movie everyone's talking about.
But I don't want to watch the Avengers.
Yeah, no, totally.
But like once in a while I'll watch like, yeah, I watched Captain Phillips.
And you're like, oh yeah, Tom Hanks is the best at this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, totally.
Yeah.
It's just they can't all be home runs.
No, and certainly he, I don't know.
That was a whole season's worth that I cloud out.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
And I'm not going to go out and watch a hologram for the king.
Well, why not?
So maybe I will.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hologram for the king.
Well, why not?
So maybe I will.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the other thing that's going on with me is having the four-month-old at night.
Sometimes I have her by myself and I can't watch anything because she's just, you know, cranky or whatever. So, like, there's no point in trying to watch something.
And so I've really started watching sports a lot more.
Because it's just on and it just runs. So like there's no point in trying to watch something. And so I've really started watching sports a lot more. Oh yeah.
It's just on and it just runs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't have to fully give it your, you don't have to give it any emotion.
Yeah.
I don't care about these teams.
You don't have to give it anything, but it's entertaining.
But it's on and it's usually a West Coast team I'm watching because it's seven at night
and all the East Coast games are over.
And so I've been watching a lot more basketball.
Have you been watching?
I've been getting the recap.
Because there's a thing that happens.
I don't know if this has always been
a thing, but after you score a basket,
the other team takes the ball
out of bounds and passes it inbounds
to a player on their team.
Yeah, basketball.
A basketball player.
But what I've been noticing now is the thing that they do is to a player on their team. Yeah, basketball. A basketball player. Yeah, some sort of basketball player.
But what I've been noticing now is the thing that they do is they will not receive the pass.
They'll just let it bounce and roll on the ground.
Yeah.
And I don't know if this has always been a thing.
I don't have a person to mention that to me in a week.
Oh, so this is a new phenomenon i just didn't know i
haven't i kind of stepped out of watching it basketball and then now because you realized
we covered yeah um no but my roommate said that he's like hey uh man i don't know why they let
why they let them do that I was like I thought I
had an answer because you know sometimes you just well I think it has something like yeah if you
pick it up then that's when the ball that's when you need to get across but but it wasn't that's
I do that's what I thought it was that's from when I used to play that's what it was but then
nothing will be on the line when these guys are doing that. They'll just let it happen.
So I think it's just part of the culture.
But it's new, right?
It wasn't as egregious as it is now.
There's nothing illegal about it.
Nah.
And a couple people have tripped on it.
That's funny.
And that's good for you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You deserve that.
Yeah, one dude did it, and he tripped.
He was like, oh, whoops.
And then the guy got it.
He just hit a three, and they won the game.
The other team won the game.
Pretty good.
That is the best way that that could have, like, you're being a dick, and then boom.
Yeah.
I don't even want the ball.
No, you can have the ball.
Yeah, it's kind of petty.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like, get the ball, man. it's kind of petty. Yeah. It's like, get the ball, man.
It's like a play.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
You know you're a basketball player.
So, that's what's going on with me.
I'm in love with Kirsten Dunst.
And basketball.
And basketball.
Basketball is new in my life.
What's going on with you, Graham?
Well, okay.
So, one thing. Speaking of watching movies and stuff i went and
this is a very rare occasion that this happened i went and saw a canadian film in the theater was
it canadian film day or something no because that was the thing it might have been that same week
but i just went because... Like a contemporary film?
A contemporary film.
It just came out in the theater on Friday.
I'm sure it's maybe not in the theater anymore.
Now, are we talking Montreal, like Quebec?
No, this was Halifax.
A Haligonian film.
A Haligonian film.
And it had an American...
Well, one of the leads was American
not sure about the other one. Ethan Hawke
was in it. Okay.
And it was a movie. Was it The Purge?
It was The Purge. Canada?
It's just basically The Purge
but in Canada. Yeah.
It was called Maudie
and it's about
a woman. Yeah a woman. Yeah, a woman.
That's right, Dave.
About a painter from Halifax named Maud Lewis.
And I only knew who she was because if you go to Halifax, in the art museum, they have her entire house.
That was like a tiny little you know like colonial
house a little baby house yeah and they took it apart and they rebuilt it in this museum
and so i saw the poster and i was like i think that's that same person so i'm like i'm gonna go
see a canadian film in the theater on a friday? On a Friday night. That's prime time.
Big crowd.
That's prime time, yeah.
Not a huge crowd, but not as small.
I assumed that there was going to be like eight people.
Right.
And I'd say there was probably like 40 or 50.
Where was this?
The Fifth Avenue?
Tinseltown.
Oh.
International Villa.
And it was very good.
It was very good.
It was a very sweet movie.
And it's like.
Who plays Marty?
I don't, her name's Sally something.
Mm-hmm.
Sandra Oh.
Maybe a British actress?
She might be British.
This movie's not Canadian at all.
Well, it takes place in Halifax.
That's what they say.
Yeah.
Well, that's true.
Starring Ethan Hawke, well, that's true. Sorry.
Nathan Hawke.
Dame Judi Dench.
But most Canadian films are very quiet affairs.
And so if you go to see a movie on a Friday night in any theater,
and you're watching the quietest film,
you are hearing the films that are happening on
either it's a big loud movies wow that's hilarious so on one side was some sci-fi movie and the other
side i think was just you know the last run of uh you know some superhero movie and so there were
these very it's a very like quiet gentle gentle film. And, but you could hear like, that sounds like, get off my planet.
That sounds like just living next to shitty Nate.
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
They always party and you, you're not, you're like, it's 9 PM.
I'm trying to watch a Canadian movie. Um, but yeah, so it was a real, it's 9 p.m. I'm trying to watch a Canadian movie.
But yeah, so it was a real...
I think the last Canadian movie I saw in the theater was when we went and saw...
Brent Butt's movie?
Yeah, no clue.
I think...
Putting on for the country.
It's very rare that a Canadian film will be in the theater.
Is that weird what was the there was one that was out a few years ago that was about like a doctor coming to newfoundland
and oh yeah they wanted to woo him yeah yeah what who's in that who yeah it was dr it was the guy
it was like riggins it was Riggins from Friday Night Lights.
Oh, yeah.
And Brandon Gleeson.
Who's Brandon Gleeson?
Oh, yeah, yeah, I know him.
He's good.
He's, you know, Domhnall Gleeson's dad.
But he was in Gangsta New York.
He was in Bruges.
Oh, yeah. He was the Bruges. Oh, yeah.
The older guy.
The older guy, right.
He was in this good movie on Netflix where he's a priest.
Oh, yeah.
Really good.
I've been watching a lot of the back end of Netflix movies.

Ben, we've been accused
of so many things over the course of making
The Greatest Generation, the Star
Trek podcast, that we're a little bit embarrassed
to be making. That is right, Adam,
but the one accusation that will never stick is the sickening implication that our show is in the pocket of Big
Rod. As in Gene Roddenberry. We are not affiliated with Roddenberry, and that is why we are free to
subject Star Trek to zingers, twangs, rib jabs, and all different kinds of jokey insults.
That's right, Ben.
The Greatest Generation is the people's Star Trek podcast,
and Big Rod only wishes we were their puppet.
No puppet! No puppet!
If you want the untainted opinions of two guys who suffer pangs of shame
every time they weigh in on Star Trek in this weirdly public forum,
go to MaximumFun.org or search for the greatest generation
in your podcatcher.
Overheard!
Overheard!
The segment in which we hear things out there
in the wild, and then we come back
here on the podcast. We talk
about them, and that's that.
Nothing fancy.
No, and we always like to start with the guests no
frills no frills no frills no yeah this one is stripped down yeah bones i won't i won't sell you
snake oil yeah we need to get back to our roots yeah yeah i'll give it to you straight man yeah
not that crazy just for the noise i Lo-fi. Lo-fi.
Yeah, getting on the plane.
We've been talking about that a lot.
But getting on the plane and this piece of shit businessman, you know, has the Bluetooth.
No, not even the Bluetooth.
He didn't have the Bluetooth.
He had the phone.
He didn't have the decency to go hands-free.
He had the phone as we're, like, he's walking onto the yeah with this phone and the bag and then what he says is what he was it was business jargon
but the last thing he said which really you know burnt my brussels sprouts was
really make my bean yeah it was he goes uh we'll recap all of this when i when i get back it's like
you then why the fuck did you have that conversation you know why did we have to hear
yeah you're just doing business talk to seem important yeah i can't stand a business of a
loud talking businessman but he's so important yeah right and i'm like so yeah all that we'll
recap all of this yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. You just wasted.
You can't be a dope businessman.
You could be junior business, man.
Yeah.
Because if I was on the other end and I was like, if we're discussing real business, I'd be like, are you?
Yeah.
It's like, are you in a bathroom?
Are you taking a shit right now?
Are you about to board a plane and you're making other people hear this?
Yeah.
This business is off.
Yeah, this is our business.
God damn it. That's how, if I
was a terrorist, and I'm
thinking about it,
that's how I would get on a plane.
Because I'd be like, business everybody.
Yeah, I'm just doing business, nothing.
Yeah, you're right. And then a guy
goes, man, I hate this businessman.
And he goes, I'm a businessman. Yeah, that's me, the businessman.
That was it.
That's perfect.
Are we post-Bluetooth headset as a society?
Oh, as a society?
Yeah.
I don't know.
But here's the, I prefer the Bluetooth over the businessman just holding his phone.
That's great.
Like not up to his head.
He's just talking.
Like he's not on speakerphone, but yeah, he's got it turned up loud enough.
And that he's so sure that the other person's not going to say anything of interest that he can be like, well, my ear doesn't need to be next to the hearing.
Yeah.
I just need to speak.
I'm just talking into that.
Yeah, I just need to speak words. Yeah, I'm just talking into that.
I wear headphones, or no, just earbuds, but not the kind that have a mouthpiece on them.
Yeah.
So I have to, like, if I have earphones, earbuds in, then I have to, like, I think this works.
Yeah, yeah, that works.
But, like, I can't hear myself talking through the buds, so I always feel like I'm just holding up a weird thing.
Yeah.
So please no one call me.
If you can at all avoid it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I have the earbuds with the little microphone-y thing.
That's how I do telephone now.
I actually, someone was,
one of my buddies was staying over.
He had to shoot something.
So for a prop,
he bought a pink phone.
The old school,
you know,
when you do a joke,
how comics still go,
then I hung up.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is where you got so used to being so hacked that you just,
such a lie.
Not even hacked,
just lying.
That's not the movement
You did
No
I mean for the longest time
It would go into a cradle
So you'd have to kind of like
Like put it in
And then slide it down
So the light turned on
If it was a vertical one
On the wall
You had to like
Do it two or three times
To make sure it caught
Yeah we haven't clicked
In a long time
Yeah yeah yeah
Even when it was cordless
You would You hit the talk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So this, though, for some reason is the international.
Then I hung up on the phone.
Yeah.
But I actually have one of those that attaches into.
So when I'm at home.
Like Lenny Kravitz.
It does.
Yeah.
There's an iconic photo.
Walking down the street.
One of the more iconic photos
not the one of him with the huge scarf
no
with the
ribbon
yeah if someone could photoshop those
three Lenny Kravitz photos together
he's like
I'm just like
just quilled on in his
and he's carrying a phone with no but no one's complaining no no
that was my favorite when that news story hit twitter like grab it the dick comes out
my face yeah everybody was so happy i tweeted tweeted. I was like,
Oh my God, you guys. Lady Caravans' dick just fell out of my pants.
I think we all remember
what we tweeted on that day.
It was a really
good day.
9-11 in this.
This is what you'll be able to
tell your grandkids.
That was the back end of 9-11.
Dave, do you have an overheard?
Well, you know I retired from overheards last week.
But we're bringing your number back down from the rafters.
Well, mine is sort of an overseen.
So I watched The Real Housewives of Toronto.
Oh, yeah.
And I decided, hey, I'm going to Oh, yeah. Ooh, la la.
And I decided,
hey,
I'm going to follow my favorite housewife, Roxy.
Yeah.
At Luxurious Roxy on Instagram.
That's what the internet
is beautiful.
That's part of it.
Yeah, exactly.
Want to know more?
And so when you follow her,
here's what Instagram suggests.
Who they suggest you follow.
Joan from
Real Housewives of Toronto.
Jana from Real Housewives
of Toronto. Anne from Real Housewives
of Toronto. Grego from
Real Housewives of Toronto.
And Michelle Obama.
Yeah, exactly.
They had a little culture, you know, like round
out that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The cards were even fixed right there.
Yeah.
It's like, let's spread this out, man.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
His deck is stacked.
She could have been a real housewife.
Too real.
Actually, yeah, I guess so.
I guess there's the connection.
Yeah.
Number one housewife.
She was the top housewife.
Yeah, she is.
Was she a housewife?
She was doing a lot.
She was working on her own cake.
Not the first lady.
I mean, not housewife in the disrespectful way that it is seen now.
First lady isn't a great title either.
No.
What should we call them?
I don't know.
Co-president.
Co-president.
There you go.
There we go.
You know what? The better half. The president's better-president. There you go. You know what?
The better half.
The president's better half.
Ah, there you go.
That's an easy one.
Melania.
Melania.
Is she still not living at the White House?
No.
Okay.
Good for her.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think if he's doing whatever he wants, she should be able to do it.
Whatever she wants.
I should be able to do whatever I want.
Yeah.
Dino said so.
My over.
Here we go.
I just want to say
the guy that was saying this
was the ugliest guy
that I've ever seen.
You know how around what he says you'll you'll be like oh okay that's fine uh but you know around the fall where
pumpkins are so much yeah yeah so cozy But you know how occasionally there's like that weird white pumpkin that's got spots on it and stuff?
That is what this guy looked like.
He looked like a white pumpkin.
Oh, my gosh.
And so he's telling his buddies how many people that he's hooked up with.
That's why you need to know this guy looks like a white pumpkin.
And he says to his friend that he hooked up with Gene
and then he told
Ryan, Gene's boyfriend
and Ryan didn't even care
I don't believe this guy
hooked up with anybody, he never talked
to Ryan and that's why Ryan doesn't care
because it never happened
well, that is rude
to hook up with someone and then tell their partner
yeah, that's part of the deal.
And if it is, if it did happen, who are these people?
Don't you want to?
These monsters.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The white pumpkin hooks up with my old lady.
I don't care.
What kind of?
Yeah.
I want to see how ugly this team is.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Maybe he's like, yeah.
He's fine.
He's a dime in this community. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's fine. He's a dime in this community.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's true.
Yeah.
That's true.
Just because he's the ugliest guy I've ever seen.
Sure.
You haven't seen Gene.
You haven't seen Ryan. You don't know what Ryan looks like.
Ryan's like, I don't care.
He goes, you're Tony.
The heart throb.
Yeah, yeah.

And the link was that it was my favorite part of the overheard.

And she and her husband own the coffee shop.
She works in a room in the back.
Very Brooklyn.
While I waited for my appointment, i overheard the husband training a
newer young employee to be a barista and at one point he leaned over to the young man and said
i want you to go home tonight and i want you to google what is a scone what is a turnover
and what is a croissant and then you can know exactly what they are and there will be pictures
so that you can identify them anyways i'd hate living that person fucked up
but also shouldn't there be visuals in the store no but that's the double down that that he probably
showed him those and he fucked that up. Right.
Right.
And then it was like,
all right, listen.
Yeah, it's like,
throw out those turnovers.
Where are the scones?
I threw them out.
Scones,
turnovers,
and croissants,

I couldn't find a turnover.
I couldn't paint a turnover
from memory.
I like,

I'm not moddy.
I get this kind of problem problem but what is it uh
turnover is like a cake it's i've heard of an apple turnover that's what i'm picturing i'm
i'm googling it like i'm the guy oh no it's the thing that's like it's like a pouch and there's
apple inside it looks like a toaster strudel yeah that's the's the one. Yeah. That's the one. So it's like, it's the, it's like the croissant, but yeah, it's, yeah.
Like a samosa or something.

Fruit samosa.
