So don't expect any when you get home.

This is how a relationship works.
This is how an adult relationship works.
But that means I'm passing the energy on to you, the listener.
Guys, here's what's up.
We record these shows.
We've been recording them for months with like weeks in advance because Graham was going away all summer.
Yeah.
But he wasn't going away all summer. There's like a two week window where he's back and we're in that two week window right now.

Last time
You went away
For the whole summer
Two years ago

You said
You were talking about Donald Trump
And how he'll never run for president
And holy cow, look at the size of that spider
Right behind you
Holy cow
Yeah, that's a big spider
You know what, let's leave it
Yeah, I don't want to see anybody get in a fight with that spider
But the week
That we put that episode out
Donald Trump announced he was running
for president i know and i still i'm still not sure that i'm still not convinced that i was
wrong and so here here's i made a list of the two things that uh have happened while you were away
oh yeah that we got wrong we talked about how there's never been a female doctor who
and then that week they were like it's only gonna be female Doctor Who. Duh! And then that week, they were like,
it's only going to be female Doctor Who.
From now on.
Yeah.
And the other thing was,
we had Kevin Banner on,
talking about how he just got engaged.
And before that episode even came out,
he got a marriage.
He got a marriage.
He got a marriage.
And it was a nice ceremony.
Yeah, I was, I think, very caught off guard by his...
Yeah.
All of a sudden, now he's just a married guy.
Mm-hmm.
You know what?
No present.
That's what that means.
What is this iced coffee doing?
Is it great?
Am I...
Have I gotten...
I think I've gotten all the information for the episode out in the first three minutes.
You're doing really great.
Our guest today, returning guest, very, very funny man.

So, first female Doctor Who, now a female hero show.
These women are out of control, guys.
All-female...

There was a remake of Ben-Hur that was all-female.
Called Ben-Him for some reason.
There was

Star Wars
The Muppets

I struggle to come up
with a second.
Who's another female Muppet?
Janice?
Oh, the bass player
from the band.
Is that Janice?
I think that's Janice.
Does Scooter have a sister? Skeeter? Yeah. I don't know which is which. Janice? Oh, the bass player from the band. Is that Janice? I think that's Janice.
Does Scooter have a sister?
Skeeter?
Yeah.
I don't know which is which.
Scooter's the boy.
Was she just a Muppet baby?
Yeah, maybe she was just a Muppet baby.
That would explain
why she made my dreams come true.
Oh, boy.
It's Cam McCloud, everybody.
Hi, thanks for having me. It's an all-female Cam McCloud everybody Hi thanks for having me
It's an all female Cam McCloud
Well
Thank you very much for coming back on the show
Yeah of course I think this might be the fourth time
Sure
Has it only been four times?
Yeah
Alright number four
I feel like it feels like
Possibly more than four
It feels like the first time It It feels like the first time.
Yeah.
It always feels like the first time.
Should we get to know us?
Yes.
Get to know us.
So, Cam.
Cam.
Yes.
Let's get this out of the way.
When were you last here?
Two years ago?
Yeah, probably about two years ago.
That's right.
When I found out all that allergy stuff.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
Yeah, yeah.
Which plays into the show.
Which plays into the show.
And you're a summertime fan.
I'm a big summertime fan.
Yeah, yeah.
So what type of summer fun have you been having?
Well, I mean.
Oh, I just had a flashback to when you were last here.
Or maybe the time before
Was it eating a burger in the ocean?
Oh yeah, eating burgers in the waves
Eating burgers underwater?
Yeah
Well, I gotta say, in the past two days
I'm really enjoying waking up every morning
And looking up at the sun
And thinking that I'm in the beginning of the exorcist
Because there is a blood red sun in the sky right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We, for people not from this part of the world, we're in the midst of a heat wave.
It's in the 30s.
Yeah.
And there's also been forest fires.
And there's been forest fires all around us.
And so it has changed the color of the sky.
And given a weird light to everything.
And I feel like this is what the
future is going to look like totally it's very mad max yeah it's just kind of going to be like
hot and yeah and you like but it's nice like i mean no no it's a nice change it's not a scary
sky i don't think like or maybe the sky is scary, but sometimes you'll just get a pink ray of sunshine through
your window and you're like, whoa, cool.
And everything's really orange, too.
Yeah, everything's orange. Wearing orange-tinted
sunglasses. But it's weird. You can't see
the mountains.
You can't see downtown.
You can't see any buildings.
Yeah.
You're an asthmatic.
I'm an asthmatic, so I've been carrying around the old inhaler with me.
It's been disgusting.
This is not for me, this apocalyptic world.
The other thing I've been enjoying this summer is sweating a lot, as usual.
Yeah.
I brought my own dish rag with me just to take care of my sweat problems.
I forgot to bring my rag with me, but I've been doing the really dabbing myself.
We've got the fan going here,
the up and down, side to side.
An oscillation like I've never seen in my life.
Yeah.
Is it even oscillating if it's going in every direction?
Seems like it's kind of doing what it wants.
It's like an animatronic.
It's like a hall of presidents.
A little bit.
They took the engine out of one of those like bears that sings at Chuck E. Cheese and put it into a fan.
But like what's your, are you a guy that goes to the beach?
Yeah, I love the beach, but I've been like.
Me too, love the beach.
Yeah, Dave loves it.
I love a secluded beach.
You know what I mean? Oh, sure. Like you love the beach from the movie. I love a secluded beach. You know what I mean?
Oh, sure.
Like you love the beach from the movie.
I love the movie The Beach.
Sure.
And watching it alone.
Now, when you say secluded beach, what are we talking about?
Are we talking about some nudist action?
No, just like somewhere, like going to the beach at the right time when it's not packed full of people.
Let's talk nudity and being packed.
What are you packing there?
Nudity or?
No, just go on.
Yeah.
So like a secluded beach, there's no such thing around here.
You would have to go.
Well, I mean, if you go to like Third Beach, say at 9 a.m.
Oh, sure.
So if you're like making a day.
To like 11 a.m.
Sure.
It's a downtown beach and
everyone's you know off to work yeah everybody's got their briefcases at the beach throwing some
sand for the day so they can open it up at the office and just stare into it at their desk
that's why they made uh like uh wallpapers for computers in the beach
because everyone was doing that with the sand.
It was getting into the keyboards and ruining all the technology.
It was ruining business.
In Canada.
I mean, we had that problem.
No, I went on a good road trip up to Powell River to see a friend, which was really cool.
Okay.
We went to a place called Egmont, which I've never been to.
What is that?
It's on the way.
It's like past Gibson's.
Um, Earl's Cove is kind of at the tip, like Sechelt.
And there's Earl's Cove is where you take a ferry to go across to where Powell River is.
Okay.
But Egmont's kind of like around the tip of that.
And what do you, what do you do on a road trip?
Do you camp?
Uh, we stayed in like a little one bedroom cabin deal.
Oh.
Which is cool.
Okay. Outdoor toilet? Oh Deal. Just cool. Okay.
Outdoor toilet.
No.
No.
It was a real toilet.
But not in the cabin.
Sounds like it was a real toilet.
This is a bad review.
Yeah, a real toilet situation.
But the woman there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tell me about the woman.
The woman who owned the place greeted us with her hands covered in dough which was very nice oh she was making a bunch of biscuits
is this the mother that's often in sourdough people use the mother oh gross is that a thing
that you have to use alive yeah you have to keep the mother alive.
It's like kombucha.
Oh, like kombucha.
Yeah.
Ah.
Ah.
I didn't know that about sourdough.
I wonder, I don't know where the mother comes from.
Yeah.
If it's been passed down for hundreds of years, if it's the same mother.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
That generation.
What generation of mother?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ah.
And so this lady had, she was like, oh, pardon me. I generation. What generation of mother? Yeah. Yeah. Ah. And so this lady had dough.
She was like, oh, pardon me.
I'm in the middle of making the most delicious thing in the world.
Totally.
Fresh made biscuits.
Fresh made biscuits.
And then she was like, oh, sorry about my dog, because her dog kind of like barked.
It was fine, though.
But then as the dog walked away, I realized it had like a basketball sized growth on its back.
Oh, okay.
I thought you were going to say that it had a doe on its paws and they were making dough together.
Yeah, exactly.
Cats can make dough.
Cats do that little padding thing.
The kneading.
Yeah.
Cats know how to knead some dough.
Yeah.
So like a goiter? So a big goiter. dough. Yeah. So, like a goiter?
So, a big goiter.
Yeah.
Yeah, which was kind of off-putting.
Here, goiter.
It was a great dog.
Great dog.
But they also had these ducks that they put the responsibility, like they tried to pass
on responsibility to us of like, so we have these ducks and they love to just go wander off and so if you see them
going down the driveway to the road can you run down and like bring them back up to the house
oh what you know it's like no deal and yeah what's the duck discount and there was like a bunch there's
a bunch of cabins and we were like at a point and there's other people we could see and at one point these ducks went down and they're like crossing the road and my fiance can't he's like oh my god the
ducks we need to go get the ducks i'm like these people aren't doing anything about the ducks
yeah are we responsible for the ducks was this a hidden camera show
and then and then uh what's his name The documentarist
You know what's his name
Michael Moore
Michael Moore came out of the bushes and was like why didn't you save the ducks
Oh I thought it was going to be the guy
The give me a break guy from 2020
What was his name
John Stossel
I'm John Stossel and you didn't watch the ducks
I thought it was going to be John Quinonez
From what would you do
We all thought it was going to be John Quinonez from What Would You Do?
We all thought it was a different guy.
Why didn't you watch the Ducks? You said
you would. Well, and the other thing
is on the other side of the road was like a nice swimming
lake and I'm like, the Ducks probably want to get to that
lake. So let them go
to the lake. Yeah, just put up one of those
cute signs that has a picture of Ducks
crossing a road. That's fine. People love that cute signs that has a picture of ducks crossing a road.
Exactly.
That's fine.
People love that.
People love stopping to watch ducks cross a road.
Yeah.
That's like one of the best things about having a car. Literally, traffic will stop to watch ducks cross.
Yeah.
So, that's insane.
How were the biscuits?
I didn't get any.
What?
No.
Come on.
Fresh made.
Total tease.
Oh, boy.
This is like plays when they have a biscuit in the first act.
You better get eaten by the third act.
This really didn't pay off.
So, road trip.
Road trip.
It was great.
What are you doing?
Have I been to Powell River?
Maybe.
What's the big draw there?
Well, my friend and his wife and their kids is the main draw for me.
There was a mill industry.
Sure.
Sure.
But apparently there's 37 lakes like around Powell River.
That's more than Minnesota.
Yeah.
I think that's the right number.
I could be wrong.
But there's a giant lake called Powell Lake that has an island in the middle of it that has two lakes on that island.
What?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
It's an inception island.
That's a lot of lakes, man.
So did you?
We went on a boat.
We went on this boat into Powell Lake, which was nice.
And then we went to a point that was called it was just like it looked like there
was just a picnic table made of logs and then we like got off the boat and like went up to it
and there's like a nice uh plaque that said like tony's point and then someone like made these
really like like rock kind of paths to like this other area where there's like other kind of seating
and stuff but no one was around and so so we're hanging out on Tony's point.
And I found on this rock down by the water,
these like,
like early nineties Oakley style shades that were like camouflage.
Cool.
And I'm like, I got to take these.
It's amazing that you found them all with the camouflage.
Exactly.
And I got to take these.
And then my,
my friend was like,
you realize you're probably taking a dead man's sunglasses
What?
No one said Tony's dead
No that's true
And if these are Tony's sunglasses he probably left them behind
If it was an early 90's Oakley wearer
It was probably you know
Jose Canseco
He's still alive
Well uh
That raises an interesting question can you name
a thing a place after somebody who's still alive yes yeah i guess so hey i know uh of a place
that's named after my some family friends oh really yeah and it's uh is it their last name? Because it's very rarely...
Yeah, they had like a bunch of acres of something of land, I guess.
Of land.
Some acres of land and a few acres of weed.
And they made it into a park and it's named after them.
Oh, okay.
That makes sense.
In Maple Ridge, there is not only a Larry Walker field.
It's a baseball field.
Is there a Cam Neely?
There was a Cam Neely Arena, which is now no longer there.
Oh, yeah.
There's a Michael J. Fox Theater.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So we have a staff.
But it's very rare that it's just the person's first name, Tony's Point.
But I think your friend was on the
money i think tony's dead yeah but but don't but not everything at that point it is no that when i
die spread all my belongings here in nature just my camouflage stuff because it won't affect my
favorite sunglasses in my favorite viewpoint like I'm looking through the lens.
I mean, sure, why not?
So did you take the glasses?
Yeah, I have.
Yeah.
Do you feel like your life has been cursed ever since?
No.
Okay.
Quite the opposite.
Oh, you stole the luck of the camouflage sunglasses.
Did you go up in your new car?
I did. Yes, the new Volvo. What go up in your new car? I did.
Yes, the new Volvo.
What year is this brand new Volvo?
It's a 1990 Volvo 240 sedan. I see it outside.
To describe it to the people out there, it looks like a Volvo.
It's a Volvo.
It looks like a Volvo from like 1990.
But they don't make cars that are blocky like that.
Yeah.
No, yeah.
It looks like a car that a kid made
out of like cardboard and spray-painted silver yeah and his dad worked at an automotive factory
was like yeah well yeah this is the model yeah because i really like i really like volvos i
think they're really cool and they're like you, you know, I, as a kid, I was like, oh, cool safety.
They feel very safe.
Yeah.
And like, you know, you know, oh, my, some friends had the ones that had the seats that went backwards in the trunk.
Uh, and, uh, but now new Volvos are luxury cars.
So if you wanted a Volvo now you're, you're dropping, you know, you know five figures how how many figures did you
drop on this puppy uh three figures three a zero and a zero a three hundred dollar volvo
and what was this uh a little lady only drove it to uh her satan worshiper circle on
every saturday they don't make it on Sundays.
No, it was like, it was a guy who was selling it for his
father-in-law, who they obviously
had as a work car, so it was just like
full of trash and not taken care of.
But, once we cleaned out all
the trash. Full of trash.
Must take trash. You must take the
trash to the dump.
But, once we cleaned it all out
it's like
actually in really good condition
there's no rust
well it had all that trash
providing like a buffer
you can't
you can't really damage something
if you're stepping on
Burger King wrappers
once we got all that out
we realized
it's like
oh there's like
all this wiring
for like
someone put in like
put in their own automatic locks like someone put in, like, uh, put in their own automatic
locks and someone put in like a reverse, uh, sensors that like beep like a truck and someone
like put in, uh, like a car alarm.
Like, so I'm thinking it was like somebody in the early nineties who like bought it and
like did it out.
Like, yeah.
and like did it out like yeah yeah remember when that was yeah because i in my car i i wanted a uh cd player that could play cds that had mp3 files on them so you could fit like 200 songs
on a cd right which is not something you would do anymore because computers don't have cd drives
yeah but uh so that's like the only aftermarket thing I did to my car 10 years ago.
Yeah.
But I remember in the early 90s, there were like stereo things people did.
Yeah.
Radar detectors were a big thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
And like I would drive in cars with people who had radar detectors and they would at some stores they would have to turn off their
radar detectors because they would be like oh this this blockbuster has a really strong like
anti-theft magnet oh wow i know car phones that was i remember like in the early 90s like a car
phone was like oh mama you are some important but it's But it still had a cord like a landlord.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's just like a phone.
My dad had that.
Yeah.
But it was, you could do speakerphone on it.
And did it also have the numbers on the back of the handset?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So you can just look down and do it and do the dial and then pick it up.
Yeah.
Very smoothly.
He had it for 10 years and then switched to just a regular,
uh,
cell phone.
Yeah.
But it's still in my phone.
It's listed under dad car.
I remember,
I remember,
uh,
being in a friend's car and he was so excited because he was like,
Oh yeah,
I got an eight,
eight disc changer in this thing.
And I was like,
Oh cool. Like you can like listen to thing. And I was like, oh cool.
You can listen to a bunch of CDs.
That's really cool.
But then he had to stop the car and open the trunk to go to the back to change the CDs if he wanted to change the CDs.
Yeah, but I mean, you have eight hours worth of...
Oh yeah, I mean, you know, you got your Counting Crows.
You got your Big Shiny Tunes 6.
I just put like three Big Shiny Tunes in there for variety.
Yeah.
For non-Canadian listeners, Big Shiny Tunes were these compilations put out by Much Music in the 90s.
They were all alt-rock, weren't they?
Alt-rock, yeah.
And then they had Big Shiny Dance.
Dance Mix.
Oh, yeah.
But the pop music was covered by the Now series.
Now that's what I call music.
Which they are still putting those out.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't, I can't figure out what the Venn diagram of somebody who would be interested in today's pop music, but also would still have a CD player.
I mean, they've got to exist because they're still
putting them out i need to stay up to date on this music with my five disc cd change it must be
just that well like it's not like you're putting out new music you're taking music that exists
yeah they must be like we'll take you know a 20 cut of whatever we sell and we'll you know we'll take, you know, a 20% cut of whatever we sell, and we'll, you know, we'll put out all the materials.
Yeah.
It's not costing the artists anything to be on these, and it's hardly costing them to make them.
And it was a weird, there were a lot of them.
In the 90s, there was like, there would be like one that was all women in song.
Yeah, there was one that was all punk music.
There was Fat Records. Fat Records would put out one every year. one that was all women in song yeah there was one that was all punk music there was uh fat records
fat records would put out one every year yeah survival of the fattest was one that i had yep
and uh but like sometimes when you use a streaming service you'll see a song and it will be from one
of those compilations so they somehow have used those compilations to do like an end run
around buying the single from the album i don't know yeah no it's weird when you've like soundtracks
are like that too i i i sort of find it hard to find songs that are on soundtracks on spotify
yeah because they couldn't i get like we couldn't get All 14 songs So we didn't bother Putting any of them out
Yeah so like
You can never hear
A kiss from a rose
You can never
Well and that'll be
On Seal Straight as well
Sure
Sure
I mean bad example
Or that
What was it
Like Ice-T
And Anthrax
From Judgment Night
The Judgment Night soundtrack
Judgment Night
Had a lot of
It invented rap rock
Yeah
Oh did it
Yeah
Wow
I never
I never thought about
How influential that
That and Faith No More
Invented rap rock
What
And now Kid Rock
Is running for
Senate
Guys this is some
Topical stuff
Yeah
And
So make sure to
Cast your vote
On Judgment Night
Or he has expressed interest
He hasn't
Oh no Run But he's leading the poll.
What was, was Dennis Leary in Judgment Night?
Yeah.
Was it, did it come out in the same breadth of time as Heat?
No, it came out the same time as Trespass.
I don't know if I know what Trespass is.
Tell me about Trespass.
It's another like, it had like Ice Cube in it and like Bill Paxton maybe.
What a cat.
And are they two cops?
The kids seem to work out their differences.
Yeah, it's like something's gone wrong and they're breaking into something.
What is, like Ice Cube took a long time before he kind of got star power.
You know what I mean?
You mean, like, as a movie star?
Yeah, I guess he was in Friday.
I can't believe he wrote, I didn't know he wrote Friday.
I only know he wrote Friday because there was a scene of him writing it in, what's the
end of it?
Straight Outta Gone.
Straight Outta Gone.
And he was, like, having a real good laugh, too.
He was like, oh, but babe, come read this.
Yeah, there was, there was a lot of, like,
inner promotion going on in that film.
Like, make sure that, you know,
that at some point we say bye Felicia to somebody.
So then everybody knows, like,
yeah, that's where that came from.
What was Judgment Night about?
I don't think I ever saw it.
My friend saw it, and I pretended I had seen it,
even though my mom wouldn't let me watch it.
I feel like it's like some teens or something.
They go to a party in the wrong...
Dennis Miller plays a teenager.
Dennis Miller's a crooked cop, maybe?
It's not Dennis Miller.
Sorry, Dennis Leary plays...
He plays McLovin.
You guys better run, Babalu.
This guy's running as fast as Jackie Joy and the Curses.
And they shot Sir Hentz, Sir Hentz.
Oh, boy.
All I remember is there's a scene in a train yard.
Train yard? You made up that? That's not a scene in a train yard. Train yard?
You made up that?
That's not a term.
A train yard?
Oh, I think it's a trade yard.
A yard where people go to trade things.
It's an outdoor stock exchange.
That's basically like a barter bazaar.
A train yard.
And was it at night in the train yard?
Yeah, because I feel like...
I don't know. Everything was at night.
It was Judgment Night. It didn't take place over
multiple days.
This was like a one crazy night
after hours. And Ice-T is in this or Ice Cube
is in this? No, no, no. That's Trespass.
Oh, yeah, right.
Who's in Judgment Night? Dennis Leary, for sure.
Or Miller.
Or Dennis Miller.
Was there another night movie that came out around the same time?
I feel like it came out around the same time as Carlito's Way,
because I remember a kid that I knew was obsessed with both Carlito's Way and Judgment Night.
Judgment Night, starring Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster.
There it is.
Oh, no, it's Judgment at Nuremberg.
Pardon me.
Judgment Day had iced tea.
Okay.
Trespass had iced tea as well.
Iced tea and ice cube or just iced tea?
Iced tea and Ice Cube.
Wow.
Judgment Night had Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Dennis Leary, Stephen Dorff, Jeremy Piven.
This thing isn't passing the Bechdel test, guys.
No, I mean, I guess not.
I can't believe I got Bill Paxton right in the trespass.
Oh, I thought that you were thinking that it was Bill Paxton, but it actually turned out to be Ice-T.
No, Bill Paxton is in it.
Bill Paxton is in this.
As well as William Sadler, who I don't know.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I know William Sadler.
Oh, and the soundtrack of Budgment Night.
Yeah.
Judgment Night.
Budgie Night.
Budgment Night in Yeah. Judgment Night. A Budgie Night. A Budgment Night in the Trade Yard.
It was all collaborations between hip-hop artists and heavy metal artists.
Yes.
Cool.
Well, not heavy metal, I guess.
Including?
House of Pain and Helmet, Run DMC and Living Color, Biohazard and Onyx doing the title track.
Oh, man.
Those two, that's a wow that's
aggressive aggression right there that's a lot of aggression slayer and ice tea ice tea's in
everything yeah ice tea had a real hot run de la soul and teenage fan club so that's that's the
non-metal uh cypress hill Youth. Oh, that's weird.
Sort of mix a lot in Mudhoney.
This is getting less metal as we go.
Yeah.
I liked that it was all collaboration.
Yeah.
That was, yeah.
Huh.
Well, because the movie's about collaborating.
Yeah.
With your opposite.
Like, yeah.
Cuba Gooding Jr. is Dennis Leary's opposite opposite in a lot of ways cuba gooding jr
doesn't smoke uh he's never played a firefighter uh well i don't know i don't know look i know that
his career has been a real roller coaster ride cuba Cuba Gooding Jr. The highest highs
and some of the lowest lows.
What was the one? Radio?
Yeah, but... Yeah.
That was a tough one
to come back from.
But at least he did.
He's back on top.
I don't think Cuba Gooding Jr.
I mean, critically, I think he's made some missteps,
but I think he's probably fine.
Oh, all of these, when they're talking about like,
oh yeah, this guy made a comeback, I was like,
oh, this millionaire who was still a millionaire
and was a millionaire for the whole time is making a comeback?
He was just quietly being a millionaire.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Being in the spotlight.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, wow.
Quentin Tarantino
really rejuvenated
Kurt Russell's career.
What?
Yeah.
Kurt Russell's doing fine.
That's even
the most doing fine guy
of...
Kurt Russell
has just had a real
smooth and steady ride.
No real bombs.
Just like... But like, every time you see him you're like
yeah yeah people you just like him more and more the older he gets you learn that he was on that
baseball team what baseball was he in the battered bastards of baseball oh i don't know i don't know
the netflix documentary i haven't. I haven't watched this either.
Oh, it's a couple years old.
But like when he was a youth?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Of course, though.
Kurt Russell's a guy, he to me seems like just charmed.
You know, like he just seems like he's just always,
like if somebody's going to make the best movie of their career,
Kurt Russell's just going to like just show up the last second and be in that movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kurt Russell.
I mean, he got me early on, too, with Big Trouble in Little China.
Right.
Like, as a child, that was, like, my favorite movie.
And it's so campy and hilarious, and he doesn't take himself seriously.
It's like, now you can do whatever you want.
I don't think that I've ever seen that movie start to finish.
Really?
Yeah.
Big trouble in China.
It's,
it's definitely like a blind spot for me.
And he also,
he's in escape from New York.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Snake.
I,
I,
those are two movies that I haven't seen.
Oh,
like,
like you,
I haven't seen the full thing.
So I kind of think they're the same movie.
Yeah.
They aren't not.
Yeah. He has an eye patch in one and he's in new york it's the future yeah the other one he's
dealing with like a mystic uh chinese like magician guy and and some dudes that look
like raiden from mortal kombat cool. That sounds like big trouble.
Yeah.
Were they magicians or like wizards?
Like warlocks.
Sorcerers.
Sorcerers.
Well, there's a difference, I think.
What?
Between Harry Anderson, magician, Harry Potter, warlock.
Yeah.
That's an easy guide to help you remember
which is which
oh pretty good
now you had mentioned
very in passing that you are now
you're engaged I'm engaged yeah you were a swinging
single the last time you were here.
Oh, yeah.
No, you were in, I think you were with your fiancé.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe.
Oh, no.
Yeah, I was.
Because at the time before that, I was having a very swinging time.
Oh, yeah.
But when you were with your Katie.
Yes.
When you realized you were allergic to everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's still with me.
Despite your allergies.
Despite the horrors I put her through.
So there's a chance for you, Graham.
We'll see.
We'll see.
There's always hope.
When's the big day?
We haven't put a date.
We put a year.
We don't want to put a label on it.
No, no, no.
What year?
We're thinking like August, September 2018.
Okay.
To give us like, you know, a year.
It's been almost six months since doing it.
The first thing.
Yeah, since doing it.
All right.
We waited until we were engaged.
Nice.
Yeah.
That's special.
Not until we're married.
Yeah.
We engage.
So it's okay with cool god all right you crazy kids
but we the first thing we said like after she said yes and we kind of had that moment
we're driving back uh to the place we're staying at and uh, uh, she was like, Oh, I guess we have to plan a wedding now.
And I was like,
yeah,
yeah.
And the number one thing is we're not going to stress about it.
And as soon as anyone tries to tell us what we should do,
we do exactly the opposite.
All right.
So she's going to show up wearing all black.
Yeah.
I'm going to be in swim trunks.
Yeah.
The number one thing people say is, don't wear a tuxedo made out of popcorn kernels.
Well, that's what I'm doing.
And be outside the bird sanctuary.
Exactly.
Or some kind of hot place where they all pop.
You could just elope.
Well, that's still on the table.
That's what we're trying to figure out.
A real money saver.
If we want to do something small or we want to elope and then just have a party, you know?
Sure.
So, we're trying to figure that out.
We went to a really nice wedding last weekend for one of Katie's friends on Gambier Island at a kid's camp.
Oh.
Oh.
It's called Furcom, Camp Furcom.
Oh, it's a Christian camp, or it was when I was a kid.
Yeah, yeah, I think it still is.
United Church of Canada, boy!
But I think someone else took it over now because it burned down.
Oh, that's right, that's right.
Whoa!
Yeah.
Act of God.
800 kids, gone.
They wouldn't report it. Well, Alex Jones said it didn't really happen. Yeah. Act of God. 800 kids. God. They wouldn't report it.
Well, Alex Jones said it didn't really happen.
Yeah.
But, uh...
That his name?
Alex Jones?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Who was in...
What was that crazy movie where they did, like,oscope and robert downey jr was in it
oh alex jones is in the richard linkletter movie yeah yeah scanner darkly yeah oh scanner yeah a
young uh you know he's an actor no he but he's like doing his conspiracy things he's driving
around in a car he used to do that like with a speaker on the roof of the car oh
and just be like alex jones did that yeah that's kind of great like the fact that you can be a
crazy guy shouting from a speaker in your car which i believe your volvo has a hookup for
yeah yeah yeah and you and then you can work your way up to like famous. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can. That's right.
That's when he was putting in his dues as a, as a amateur crazy.
Wait, so he was just driving around in real life doing this.
This is apparently.
Ah.
And that's why he's in the movie.
Cause he is the government.
And he didn't use to sound like this.
He used to sound like just a regular, just like casually like, Hey hey, everybody, just so you know, the government's messed up.
Like just saying that while he's driving down the street.
We got traffic on the ones, government on the twos.
What's the other rotoscope one?
Life itself?
Yeah, something like that.
I never saw that one.
But the kid from Wiley Wiggins, who is the main kid from, I keep grabbing the bridge of my nose because that's what he does throughout the movie.
Oh, yeah.
From Dazed and Confused.
I hate that guy.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
He's an animator on those movies.
Weird.
Hollywood.
Man, you never know where you're going to end up.
Shermanator apparently works at a sushi restaurant.
It's a crazy town. For real? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuba Gooding, still rich. know where you're gonna end up shermanator apparently works at a suju restaurant it's
crazy town yeah yeah yeah you have a good thing still rich still rich
shermanator not so rich put him in one of your movies quentin tarantino yeah let's see that yeah
let's see you rejuvenate that guy's career. Jumpstart germinator. Yeah.
So would you,
after going to a wedding in like a weird Christian camp,
would you do something like that?
Well, it was great.
Like on the island
and there was,
it was like very mellow.
Like, yeah,
go hang out on the beach.
Is it still a camp at all?
Yeah, yeah.
It's still a camp.
Like it got rebuilt.
But then why are people
having weddings in the summer when kids should be there?
Well, we literally showed up as, like, on the water taxi as, like, all the kids were, like, getting shipped out.
So we had it for the weekend.
Oh, okay.
Like, Friday, Sunday at 3 until Sunday at 3.
And they served, like, bug juice at the wedding.
It was all cafeteria style.
It was all, like, made by the wedding it was all cafeteria style it was all
like oh wow made by the camp ah that's awesome enjoy this gorp at your table and they had the
like the triangle like the ding ding ding ding it was like fun you know 8 30 a.m you you're coming
like you hear that and you're like i'm gonna go make a wallet today
everybody's making their own wedding presents oh we got 40 wallets
that's good because we're gonna do with all these dream catchers yeah all of these uh
tambourines made out of two paper plates and beans in the middle of
bean tambourines um so sometime in 2018 yeah And then that's it
Then you're done
And then that's it
I'm just going to hunker down
You're going to buy three more Volvos
Yeah we're going to get a family of Volvos
Instead of kids we're just going to keep buying Volvos
And just try and have like six Volvos
Like a team of Volvos
Yeah yeah yeah I get you

And take care of us

In the meantime
Is my whole family, my parents, my sisters
Their families
My kids and wife
We all went to a Soyuz
British Columbia for a week
That's like a desert area
It's like a desert area
It is
The day we got there It was 38 degrees which is like a hundred uh and it
was it's it's not like desert you when you think of like you know sand and sand and you know yeah
yeah uh non-stop sand it's sort of like cowboy movie desert when there's like cliffs and snakes
like search for curly's gold the desert that one the most famous western of them all i was not a
i was not a country slicker there believe me i was a city one yeah yeah um so we drove we got in the
car uh we prepared the everyone for the drive.
It's supposed to be like a four and a half hour drive.
Is this, this would be Poppy's first car trip?
No, she's driven to Seattle.
Oh, okay.
All right.
But this is like, the highway you take is the Hope princeton yeah which is very narrow and and curvy and there's no cell
reception for like an hour and a half so if you if something goes wrong you're kind of out there
by yourself right um and uh that's spooky it is a little spooky and i'm not that's like something
you would build into a horror movie exactly yeah there's no cell reception from here to here.
And I'm not a highway driver.
Like, I grew up in the city.
I'm like an urban guy.
Yeah, yeah, I'm driving here.
Like driving a block at a time.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't...
I never got, like...
I don't like driving fast.
I'm so used.
I'm so not used to driving on the highway that whenever my I'm on the highway, the car, the engine gets so loud.
I'm like, is it supposed to do that?
Well, it's going twice as fast as normally.
So maybe it's a yeah, I guess that's the only kind of driving I ever did.
Like was the highway driving.
Yeah. City driving is just the only kind of driving I ever did like was the highway driving. Highway driving, yeah.
Yeah.
City driving is just like crazy making, you know?
So, yeah, we got there after a very long drive and the kids were great.
Oh, really?
Like, considering what a nightmare it could have been.
On the way home, they weren't so great because that was like, Poppy just started teething
and there's nothing you can do.
No.
Chew on things.
Yeah.
Drug her.
Which we did.
Yeah.
But there's only so much you can give her.
But we, yeah, so we got there and it's like, this was a testament to how much I love my family because I don't drink wine and it was like just full of vineyards.
Right.
I don't play golf and we were right on a golf course and I can't stand the heat.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
So it was just like, I'm here for you guys.
Yeah.
Was there at least like a pool?
There was a pool.
Yes.
Nice.
It was like, I spent the whole week pretty much at the pool, and it had a water slide.
And there was an adult pool and a kid's pool, and I never went to the adult pool.
I never saw the adult pool.
So I was just around screaming kids the whole time.
It was just fine.
They had these big sprayers that would spray water up in the air and into the pool.
And so many kids would just be sticking their butts on the sprayer.
Yeah.
Just getting their first taste of an enema, really.
Yeah.
Their first taste of one.
One of many.
It's like fun to stick your butt on something until you move just one inch the wrong
way and then that jet is just like now it's a part of it like why is that jet not spraying anymore
matthew move that kid's stomach is getting full
oh no but a couple years ago we were talking about how you sometimes see like ripped kids.
Like kids with just like six packs.
That's all that we're here at this place.
Really?
It's all just like kids, like...
Bunch of muscle kids.
Like eight-year-old boys with like six packs.
It's so weird.
How does that happen?
I guess they're just moving all the time.
They're moving all the time, burning up that energy.
And like we stayed at this resort that was like, we had our, we had a kitchen in our room.
Yeah.
So like every room had their own kitchen and like a living room and a bedroom.
So you could like put the kids to bed and then stay up for an hour before he passed out
it took me three days to watch rogue one
um and then uh but like the one thing that was in our uh hotel room that i think every hotel
should have was a plunger that's a good call we like you know
when you need one it's you need one right away call down to the front desk all casual
whenever are you ready yeah i'm looking to do a fun video where i have a plunger on my head. Yeah. Can I borrow one? I want to stick one to the ceiling. For art.
And so, yeah.
So, like, when you're like, oh, no, the toilet's clogged.
Let's see if it unclogs itself.
Oh, what's this thing under the sink?
A plunger.
So nice.
I don't think I've ever been in a hotel with a plunger.
Isn't it, like, is that not the worst call you have to make at a hotel?
Yeah.
Hi, could you send up a boy?
For a, you know, a muscly one if you have one.
Preferably 10 years old with a six pack.
Super ripped little boy.
I remember, speaking of like ripped kids, I remember being a kid and going to somebody's house for a pool party and finding out for the first time who had muscles and who didn't.
I fell firmly in the didn't part of the pool.
But just like I remember that moment being like, oh, no.
Why isn't anybody told me that we were supposed to be working on ourselves?
Yeah, because they're not like, they don't have big arms or anything.
They're not like muscular.
No, they're wires.
Oh, yeah.
They look like a little bit cracked out.
Yeah.
But I just remember that feeling of being like, well, I'm going to wade into the pool
up to my neck and just stand there for the rest.
No, no, I'm not going to into the pool up to my neck and just stand there for the rest no no I'm not gonna wrestle no no I mean if we're gonna do chicken
I'll be the guy down here
and Mr. Ripped can go up
I'm picturing you as a 10 year old with this full beard
just in the pool up to my chin
oh boy
and the other thing I don't know if this was the clientele
or if I just haven't seen a lot of people
in bathing suits that often but a lot of fake boobs.
Oh, wait, where were you?
This was in a Soyuz, British Columbia.
Yeah, I feel like Kelowna and Soyuz, Penticton has a higher percentage.
Really?
Penticton.
But it didn't make, I don't know if it's like a regional thing But it was definitely a nostalgic thing
Like growing up in the 90s
It was a thing you saw all the time
And I just don't see them anymore
But maybe I'm not looking
Maybe I'm not watching TV shows
Where people are like
In a sexy costume for no reason
I thought that they had gotten
More subtle
Yeah that's what I assumed had happened.
But maybe that's not a look people want.
No, I think...
Some people are like, I don't want them to look subtle.
Yeah, you're like, if I'm plunking down...
I want these things to plunk down.
Yeah.
If I'm plunking down a few thousand then i want to plunk up a few thousand what
what um yeah it's weird because i haven't been to a beach or a pool or anywhere that people would
wear a bathing suit for many many years so i do not it would throw me for a loop to to see people just
wandering around in basically their underwear it is something where it's always kind of like that
oh like it's like a spotting you know it's not something that you see
no all the time and when you and when it's obvious it's very much so like shh there's a deer
don't disturb the deer the doe yeah and there's also there's there's kind of uh
tattoos that are very uh era specific kind of kind of like styles of tattoo that you're like
well that's leg leg band tattoos that right there, bud. Leg band tattoos.
That's right.
Celtic leg band tattoos.
But a leg band, I don't know that I've seen a lot of them outside of you, actually.
Arm bands.
A lot of arm bands.
A lot of arm bands.
I feel like.
Barbed wire arm bands.
Barbed wire arm bands.
Tribal.
Tribal arm bands.
Yeah.
And then like, just like, you know.
Asian character.
Yeah.
A little tiny frog. Or a. A, you know. Asian character. Yeah, a little tiny frog.
A gecko.
A gecko.
Yeah.
Or a dolphin.
You know, these are all.
Butterfly.
Butterfly.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, or then there was just kind of this weird where you would get kind of, it looked tribal, but it was just a bunch of kind of like thorn kind of shapes.
Like a bunch of Nike swooshes put together?
Yes.
What is the current trend?
I don't.
What are some of the current trends?
One trend that I've noticed.
The one I have is Eminem's daughter's face on my arm.
Haley.
Oh, can we start a GoFundMe for people to pay for you to get that?
To get Eminem's daughter's child portrait on your arm
that would be because you know how like my parents at my house they have old photos
going up uh age-wise like if you every year you got a new hayley somewhere just a cheek the one thing that i've noticed like like cool cool kids having is tattoos that just
seem very like randomly placed on the body like one on the forearm and then like one on the ankle
and then one kind of up here and there's no con like. I don't see a lot of sleeves anymore. Yeah, sleeves had their time.
Yeah. And now when people have sleeves
it's a bunch of
separate tattoos that are just covering their arm.
Yeah. I think the trend might be
sort of like simplicity.
Like just a few lines.
Or just
something that
instead of being a portrait
is now just like a simple drawing.
Yeah.
Just one color.
I saw one yesterday that at first glance I thought was the Canada 150 logo.
And I was like, oh, brother.
But then it totally wasn't.
I was like.
I mean, I have a poem on my ribs.
Yeah.
What does it say?
It's so tough to be a baby.
Doer, doer, detra baby.
I couldn't think of song lyrics except for that baby song.
What were you going to say?
Oh, I feel like that a lot of people are getting like traditional American.
That's like the style of it, which is like all like thick lines and simple drawings
and like like kind of sailor yeah yeah or more or like um uh like heritage brands like
like heritage moments tattoos like yeah the invention of basketball
i know i'm like that sort of like you know uh you know we're an authentic general store
founded in 2014 yeah but this is our old-timey font
yeah I always like uh like when you see a thing that says established and it's something like
2005 and you're like well that is a stretch of time, but it's not fabulous.
Like, it's not an amazing amount of time. Yeah, Von Dutch was big at the time.
We were founded amongst a sea of Von Dutch hats.
Oh, they'll come back.
We came out of that sea.
Yeah.
We're based on Von Dutch hats.
Graham, what's going on with you?
Well, like you say, I was a way i was in toronto
where's that fringe uh where is that yeah uh in the east uh where the sun the mystic
and uh and then i was in winnipeg uh doing the fringe fest now is it true that their provincial
bird is the mosquito yeah yeah were there a lot of mosquitoes there in the summer
no not in the city although there's a lot of dragonflies which are like big kind of this
they're like they're kind of beautiful but also dumb enough to hit you in the face yeah they're
like a huge bug yeah and a lot of times there's two connected to each other i assume procreating yeah yeah and uh so that
they've got those are everywhere and the thing about winnipeg is uh it's like very cheap uh and
and so like uh you know the place i was staying gorgeous three bedroom less than what you would
pay for a basement suite here you know so it's
just like the standard of living is very different than you buy a sandwich and you're like you get
so much change back and you're like oh i'll take another sandwich i guess but it's super cheap
because uh it's the coldest place in the world yeah i mean the the winters are uh pretty this
summer was fine the big headline a couple years ago was that it was colder than Mars.
Yeah.
Like, it was like, in Winnipeg today, it was colder than Mars.
And my parents came out to Winnipeg for a couple days, and we went and did, like, the big touristy thing to do in Winnipeg now.
The Nutty Club factory?
We did go past the Nutty Club factory.
We went to the Human Rights Museum.
Okay.
Which is this crazy, it's like this crazy building.
Looks like a Frank Gehry type of building.
Like walls going this way and that.
And you walk up a ramp up to this very tall spire at the top.
And you can like see all of Winnipeg or whatever.
And you're supposed to do it in that
order they specifically built the museum so that you kind of go through all this sad stuff then
there's like a reflection kind of you know it's like a like a fake pond sad human rights should
make people happy i know that's what i thought i was like this is going to be the most fun we've ever had to see people with so many rights so many right enjoying them yeah uh having them keeping them enjoying them um but we went up
to the reflection pond and then we went we're like let's go up to the top so we went up to the top
and then worked our way back down so the last thing that we we walked out of just like this like war crimes exhibit and just
like so drained it was so sad we did it the wrong way you're supposed to go up to the top and then
have this nice view and enjoy the future and see i know about this building from watching the amazing
race and they really don't let you know any of that. They just show them at the top,
at the beautiful mountain.
Oh.
The Amazing Race Canada?
Yeah.
How long have you watched this show?
I mean, the only reason I watched it
was because Ryan Steele was on it.
Oh, that's right.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A local comedian.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like,
it's also kind of weird
because you walk up this ramp
the whole way up,
and the first five minutes you're walking, there's no display.
You're just walking up a ramp.
There's no like things on the wall that say like in this year, this happened or whatever. So you're like, there's a lot of just ramp, just ramp space.
But it was really neat.
It was really neat.
I'd advise anybody that's passing
through winnipeg yeah check it out seems like a bummer it is a bummer yeah like if you do it
backwards yeah yeah it seems like a bummer along the way as well yeah that's true it's not it's not
a light you know what like the museum of fudge or yeah do, then go to the Nutty Club factory. And then we
were having a debate. I don't know if
you guys both know Nutty Club?
I don't know Nutty Club. Nutty Club, you
would know their logo.
It's like a man made out of candy.
Stripey candy.
And what do they make? They have
like, when you go to a convenience store, they have
like pre-packaged like jelly beans
and nuts. Oh, yeah. And it pre-packaged jelly beans and nuts.
Oh, yeah. And it's like a blue and white and red.
They don't make Laffy Taffy, do they?
No.
But you know this logo?
Yeah, I know that guy.
Yeah.
So do they make those things or do they just package those things?
I do not know.
Okay.
That was the big debate of the day.
Does Nutty Club make jelly beans or do they import them and just put them into Nutty Club bags?
Because they make such a variety of things.
Yeah.
They'll make mints and jelly beans and candy corn.
And,
uh,
I'm just going through,
I'm just going Google image through Nutty Club.
Yeah.
And it's like,
uh,
uh,
they're still located in like downtown Winnipeg.
Yeah.
They have all their like, have you ever been? Yeah. I went to Winnipeg yeah they have all their like have you ever been
beautiful yeah i went to winnipeg uh my buddy aaron murky uh and lauren his wife live out there
they're comedians and we did a a pilot for a show that was about like traveling and doing stuff
and like you know four guys and competition stuff right but so But so we. Sounds like the Amazing Race. That.
It was before that and they stole the idea.
But that museum
was getting built
at the time.
Right.
And I saw downtown Winnipeg
which is beautiful
and super rad and old.
Yeah, yeah.
It's all old buildings.
Yeah.
And the old like painted
signage and stuff

Overheard.
It's a segment where we will hear something and we don't just keep it to
ourselves.
Oh no,
we'll share it here on the show.
And we always like to start with the guest cam.
Oh,
well,
this overheard,
uh,
it's a,
it's a,
it's a two partner very soon.
Yeah.
Uh,
it happened when I was in Regina for the fringe. First time ever being in Regina. It's a two-parter, very soon. Yeah, yeah. It happened when I was in Regina for the Fringe.
First time ever being in Regina.
It's a town.
Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
Also, the first town that I had two teens on BMXs try and intimidate me while I was walking down the street.
Not the first town for me.
But I was... What is it? Tell me about you tell me about these yeah i want to know about these
oh they literally just like both rode by but like slowed down and then like looked me up and down
and the one in the back just went and like barked at me i'd be intimidated tried to startle me and
i just smiled and nodded my head but they didn But they didn't, like, keep harassing you?
No, no, no.
They didn't follow you for a little while?
They were going down the street.
But they were like, let's just do a quick, let's try out our.
Let's scare an adult.
Yeah, we're working on some new heckles.
That's one thing about, like, not many teenagers know, but adults are more afraid of you than you are of them.
Ah, yes, like a poisonous snake.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Well, when I was
in Regina, I had a really good show at the
Fringe there, and I was celebrating, I'm going to take myself out for dinner and have a couple beers.
So I went to this Chinese food restaurant that, when I was searching for it, it had
a 4.3 star rating, but right underneath that rating in the Google search
was man shot in cold blood, which happened like less than a year prior in this Chinese food restaurant.
I'm like, yeah, 4.3 stars.
That's pretty good.
Yeah. of kind of like older, you know, like late fifties, kind of like just Regina type farmer,
whatever, trucker dudes.
Right.
Salt of the year.
And their wife.
And then behind me, there was these three Chinese guys, maybe like in their like late
thirties.
Soy sauce of the year.
Yeah.
Boo.
And I'm sitting there and this first overheard is quite upsetting uh more upsetting
than that uh well it's kind of on the same uh so we're sitting there and i hear this one uh guy
they're like big older dude and they start talking about trans people okay and you know i'm embarrassed
i'm sure in a subtle subtle nuanced way they were talking about
so this guy I'm like
as soon as I hear them bring that I'm like
I gotta listen to what these guys are saying
just to like see what happens
and the one guy says
well you can be a can I swear
yeah okay
I believe you can
well
well you can be harsh.
Well, you can be a Becky and still keep your junk.
But when it comes time to fuck, you need to just lie there on your back and take it like a woman.
What?
And I was like, oh, my God.
I was just like, this is so terrible and upsetting on so many levels.
I feel so horrible right now.
What was the first word there?
You can be a what?
You can be a Becky.
Okay.
And keep your junk.
So he's referring to somebody named Becky?
Or yeah.
Or somebody from Quebec maybe is some sort of slur.
I feel like this was like a thing that they used for a term for somebody
well like in uh encino man all the women are he teaches encino man that women are betties
oh yeah yeah yeah i feel like that was also maybe maybe in clueless you're so ready yeah yeah but
it's just like so absurd that right away i'm like i was halfway done my meal and i'm just like okay can
i just get like the bill yeah yeah yeah like i don't want to be i don't want to be around this
and they're like okay but you're not gonna like what's written inside that portion cookie
so i get my meal i like boxed up and i go up to pay and the three chinese guys that were behind me
they're standing and it's gonna be worse in worse no this is the best this is the best because i was so like upset just like oh god damn it
i walk up and one of the chinese guys is holding he's like in his 30s and he's holding a big sprig
of basil and he's like excuse me like he's talking like the woman at the counter and he's like excuse me what is this and she's
like uh it's basil he's like oh it's very very good and she's like oh good glad you like it he's
like where can i get this and she's like oh you can get it like down the street there's a couple
stores like tells him the story he's like okay thank you thank you. Thank you. And how much is it? I was just watching.
So I was just like,
so overjoyed to see like a man,
a man discovering basil for the first time and just being so in love with it.
Yeah.
It's great.
How much is it?
This must be the rarest plant in the world.
So where do I have to sail around the world to find it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And how much is it?
Millions of dollars.
You accidentally put it on my plate. And how much is it? Millions of dollars. You accidentally
put it on my plate.
Although,
you know what?
If I had never had basil before
and then I like,
like it was just
in a salad or something,
I'd be knocked out.
It's a crazy,
it's a crazy flavor.
It's like,
crazy.
There's nothing really else like it.
Yeah.
And either you like it
or you don't like it.
Oh, I like it.
But a Chinese restaurant
might be Thai basil, which is slightly different ah because i think they were having pho too oh
yeah that's what that yeah he was just having his mind blown left and right and was just like
so excited i completely forgot about oh so this was a chinese restaurant that had vietnamese soup
yeah it was it was chinese and uh vietnamese cuisine that's the thing that
you see in small towns it's like all kinds of asian yeah or is it or my favorite is that it'll
say uh chinese and canadian yeah yeah that's like yeah don't worry if you want some chicken fingers
yeah we got you we got a cheeseburger yeah chip like the chicken fingers are honestly the same as the
sweet and sour chicken it's like we just don't put the sauce on yeah yeah but you know what
if that's what if that's your taste you know we cater to two kinds of people uh dave do you have
an overheard mine are all uh things my child said oh no i don't have one. I'm not going to stoop to that level yet.
This is a piece of graffiti.
It was written in chalk, 20 feet in the air, on a sky train, like going down Terminal Street, Terminal Avenue.
The sky train goes above there.
So like on an elevated track?
Yeah, but like on whatever, these big cement pillars.
And so up 20 feet in the air, it said, the film Earthlings changed my life.
Whoa.
And then I kept driving and on the next next pillar it said the film earthlings changed
my life and for like a dozen of these pillars someone had written this in chalk wow 20 so they
had to have had a ladder yeah yeah and a lot of time like and also like a real passion for
this movie earth which is what i think it's a documentary about veganism.
Like about how animals are abused.
Right.
Okay.
I thought this was like chalk activism a little bit.
Yeah, chalk activism.
When you were saying Earthlings, I was picturing that movie with Will Smith and his son.
What is that called?
Romeo Must Die?
No, but what was that one?
The pursuit of happiness?
No.
Well, that is Will Smith and his son, isn't it?
Yeah, but what, there was one later where it's a sci-fi.
Oh.
And it was called the planet.
Earthlings.
Yeah, but something earth.
The planet of happiness?
Yeah.
What was that? The fresh planet? Yeah. What was that?
The fresh planet of happiness.
What was it?
It was called like Earth 2 or Earthers.
The one thing I know is that Will Smith don't got a cuss in his raps to sell records.
He doesn't.
But I do.
So fuck him and fuck you.
I'm shocked.
Dave, where did that come from?
It came from this tattoo I got eminem's daughter
it's a quote out of her mouth she was very inspiring to her father um i'm just gonna
look up jayden because he hasn't been in as many movies ah karate kids yeah it was the karate kid
after earth after earth after that's what i was picturing when
earthlings changed my life after earth change oh that'd be pretty good um oh so this is a person
that was being like probably pretty sincere i guess oh yeah yeah but i don't know maybe their
life was good beforehand and now it's bad oh yeah people when someone tells you like oh this changed my life you don't know how things were going for them before no
that's true it could have been that they were eating all the chicken figures they could handle
and then they're like what like oh your music totally changed my life i was rich and then
i listened to you know know Under the bridge
Yeah
And now I'm poor
And now I live under a bridge
I don't know how it happened either
A song about an ogre

Um
That's what's great about kids I was listening to that song While watching Shrek Well, the years keep start coming and they don't stop coming.
And that's what's great about kids.
I was listening to that song.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
While watching Shrek.
Sure.
And there's a record scratch in it for one second.
Yeah.
That was a weird thing when music had record scratches in it. Sugar Ray.
I think it all started with Judgment Night.
Right.
Yeah.
It was, you know.
But like bands that didn't have a DJ, like Incubus had a DJ.
Oh, yeah.
And they had to put a scratch in every song.
Limp Bizkit had a DJ.
Some bands would just have, oh, let's just put a record scratch in.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it was cool.
It was of the time.
It was, you know, it was like letting people see your G-string come out of your jeans.
Like Limp Bizkit.
They also did that.
Sorry.
Go on.
No, no problems.
I was on a... The one great thing about the bus system in Winnipeg is because it's so hot there, every
bus is air conditioned.
Oh, okay.
So nice.
So I was...
Our buses are colder than Mars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So riding around on the buses there was a real treat.
And one night, I was coming was coming home there was this old lady
who went up to the bus driver and she was like turn off this air conditioning it's cold in here
and he was like no ma'am i'm not doing that and she's like well then fine let me off of this bus
i'm gonna catch another bus as if the bus driver works on some sort of commission like that was gonna hurt his feelings
so he did he pulled over to the side of the road and she got off and everybody on the bus applied
and then the next bus she got on also had air but it was the most like uh like uh buster bluth
destroying uh the housekeeper the kitchen because he thinks the housekeeper lives
there like it's just like why do you think this bus driver cares if you get up there yeah yeah
okay i'll let you off on the side of the road i heard about a famous woman who took a stand on a
bus one and i'm gonna be like her but it was like the air conditioning was so nice like everybody's
just so in love with it and then
this old lady's like i'm gonna make a stand that is the exact opposite of what everybody on the
bus is thinking and uh and you know what i'm gonna catch another bus see how you like that
see how you like not having me yell at you for the rest of your ship. And now we are not done

And the girl said, what do you mean he bought two children?
And the other girl said, well, he bought a car.
And the children were in the car.
And then their mom was questioning why he was taking them.
Absolutely have no idea where that story came from, but I thought it was fascinating.
And then these girls kind of went on to
talk a little bit more and i caught little bits here and there and another thing i heard was
well all americans over 18 voted for trump and i thought it was pretty funny because they
obviously don't know how american elections were all americans over 18 yeah yeah sure
all the blue states are the ones where the kids are in charge.
That's why they have so many water slides. I do like the story of Donald Trump bought two kids.
Well, they were in the car already when he bought a used car.
A used car.
That doesn't track.
With the kids still sitting in the backseat.
You bought a car that had a bunch of junk in it.
