Hi, he's Dave Shumka.
And he's Graham Clark.
And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself.
Woo!
Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 509, a special Christmas episode, or holiday episode, whatever you want to call it.
There's only one holiday.
And it's Labor Day, but we're way late for that, so we decided we'd do a Christmas episode.
My name's Graham Clark, and with me as always is a man who was visited by three spooky ghosts last night that changed his mind about things.
Mr. Dave Shumka.
Yeah, they changed my mind about everything.
So, the first ghost was so spooky.
It was a little kid in a backpack.
Oh, God.
And it gave me the finger.
Oh, no, no.
And it changed my mind about backpack.
I was like, I don't know.
I'm more of a shoulder bag guy.
But this kid's really pulling it off.
Yeah.
Ghost number two.
Yeah.
It was a figure skater with her head in a bag.
Oh, no.
And that really changed my mind about, you know, what I want to watch this upcoming Winter Olympics.
Mm-hmm.
Third guy was a ghost.
Oh, no.
And that's the scariest kind of guy.
He changed a lot of people's minds when I was watching him.
Was he a flat earther?
He was.
That was his last name.
He was Julius Flat Earther.
But he believed in a round earth.
Oh, I understand.
So it's a Christmas episode
and as is our tradition
every year, don't tell
our guests that it's the Christmas episode.
They just show up.
And at one point we'll be doing
a gift exchange. Don't worry, I brought something
for you. And as usual, I didn't.
But also
this is coming out on the 18th,
because
next week's will come out on Christmas Day.
But what do you...
They never show any Christmas episodes
on Christmas. It's all stuff that's
like... Yeah, we'll do our
annual year in review.
We'll read all the
newspapers for the past year. We'll count
down the top videos
Yeah, the best
A hundred best plays
On Broadway
And the major leagues
But
But yeah, what do they do on Christmas Day?
They'll show like
There's the log burning
Yeah, or maybe they'll show like
You know, a choir
Our guest today Returning guest to the podcast.
Wonderful counselor.
Yeah.
Almighty God, the Prince of Peace, our everlasting father.
Oh my God.
She is a hilarious comedian.
She will be seen as part of the Ryan and Amy show in the Just for Laughs Northwest in March.
It's Amy Gooden-Murphy.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm excited to be here.
Thanks for having me.
Thank you for coming back on the show.
Please call me Jesus Christ now.
Oh, yes.
Sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Jesus of Nazareth, everybody.
Yeah.
Well, at this point, just Bethlehem.
I mean, I don't like to get into it.
Hey, I'm just a regular guy here.
I just want to be normal
with you guys
you held up your hands
to show stigmata
why don't you show
that I'm bleeding
from my wrist
it's all good
you're going to have
to do a clean up
after this
but I don't pay for that
clean up on our own Jesus
nice one
really good
really good
should we get to know us?
oh sure
per
perfect
get to know us? Oh, sure. Per. Ah. Perfect.
Get to know us.
Amy, just before the show started, you told us that you landed a part.
Woohoo!
And you're stoked, obviously. A body part?
I'm stoked.
I landed a body part.
I'm getting an extra teat.
I will now have three. It has nothing to do with you guys. This is not a sexual body part I'm getting an extra teat I will now have three
has nothing to do
with you guys
it's not a sexual thing
I just wanted
a third teat
I understand
it's for you
it's for me
the first two are
teats or tits
tits
and I wanted a third
which is called a teat
oh if it's three
it becomes teat
yeah
back from where I'm from
when it becomes three
it becomes a teat
where are you from again
Nazareth
Jesus Town Jesus Town Jesus Town no that's a documentary Back from where I'm from. When it becomes through. Where are you from again? Nazareth.
Jesus Town?
Jesus Town?
Jesus Town?
No, that's a documentary.
Jesus Town.
So what is this part?
So it's kind of exciting.
It's just exciting for me. We were goofing around.
She's not Jesus.
She's Amy.
Because now this is a real thing.
Right.
This is for real.
And she told us off the air that she landed a part.
She's excited about it.
Yeah.
We didn't want to know yet.
Yeah.
Okay.
And now we want to know.
We're all finding out together.
Okay.
And we'll be right back.
Oh, what?
And we're back.
Okay, hi.
Yeah, I'm super stoked.
It's not like anything too crazy.
It's just exciting for me because as I was saying, like, a lot of things that I end up,
like I am an actress, but a lot of things that I end up booking is sort of through the
community and people that I know.
And I don't have to go through the whole like song and dance of callbacks and auditions and callbacks and blah, blah, blah.
What song do you usually perform?
I perform All Hail Ye.
No, don't know any religious songs.
Don't know.
When did Catholic Pride go?
All Hail Ye.
All Hail Ye?
Yeah.
Have you heard of it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All Hail Ye.
Do you know that one? Or no? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. All Hail ye. Yeah. Have you heard of it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All hail ye. Do you know that one?
Or no?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All hail ye.
Nope.
That's not, that's a different one.
Yeah.
That's the radio version.
This is the explicit one from the album.
Yeah.
If you wait a little longer, this is the end track.
Yeah.
So I can't say like, I can't say the brand or anything I don't think yet because we're
shooting tomorrow, but it's in Toronto.
They're flying me business class.
You're flying tomorrow?
No, sorry, next week rather.
It's in Toronto.
Cool.
Business class.
Yeah, isn't that cool?
Have you ever flown business class?
I mean, I have actually, but only because my brother works for the airline.
And sometimes when you're flying standby and there's no room with the cattle in the back, you get to sit with the snoots in the front.
Snoots and cattle.
Have you guys ever flown business class?
Oh yeah.
Once.
Oh my.
How did this happen?
You guys aren't rich.
No, no, no.
I got upgraded because they oversold.
Amazing.
Oh, I'm rich.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I forgot.
I mean, not, I don't have money.
No, no.
But like.
You're rich in things.
You know, I, I, I'm rich in airlines. Yeah. Yeah, no. But like. You're rich in things. You know, I'm rich in airlines.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, you're airline rich.
I get it.
Yeah.
It's insane up there.
It's like a different world.
Even the way they talk to you, like they actually give a shit about you up there.
They do not give a shit about you in the back.
They do, though.
Do they?
I don't.
I mean, if you're nice, they do.
I think if you make a little effort to be, if you like everywhere I go, I think I'm better than everyone.
Yeah.
So like it really comes across on an airplane where people are the worst.
And like, if you're just like a little bit nicer than everyone, you know, you smile, you say thank you to people there.
They, they don't treat you like that.
Yeah.
And if you're in coach, sometimes I'll fall asleep and I'll wake up to, you know, one of the flight attendants kissing my forehead.
What?
Yeah. That? Yeah.
That's okay.
Whoops.
Which airline are you flying on?
All of them.
They all kiss your forehead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you are.
I'm so adorable when I sleep.
They can't help it.
I think that's a bit, you should probably tell somebody about that.
I am.
I'm telling you guys right now.
No, I'm going to tell somebody about that.
Well, her brother works for the airline.
Yeah. Oh, no. I know her brother works for the airline. Yeah.
Oh, no.
I know.
I will be actually telling legitimate people.
Anyhow, yes, the thing that I landed, it's a series.
The airplane landed.
The airplane landed.
Okay.
That's what I was trying to tell you.
Yeah.
And so it lands in Toronto and then I film for a week.
A commercial?
A series of commercials.
I'm basically a new like spokesperson.
And you know like the angel from Philadelphia cream cheese?
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah I get to be that person
for a
really unexciting
industry
but for a loan company
okay
yeah but
no that's just exciting
you said like
cream cheese is the
exciting industry
it is
if I had said
like yeah
come on
loan cream cheese
what's more exciting to you
I'd like to you want a loan well loans are nice I would like to on. Loan cream cheese. What's more exciting to you? I'd like to.
You want a loan?
Well, loans are nice.
I would like to get one of those cream cheese loans, you know?
That'd be cool.
What are like the, what's like a prestigious commercial?
Like, I guess, cars.
Cars.
You know, what's her name?
She's a household name now.
Flo.
Flo.
But what's that insurance?
That's insurance.
Geico's insurance.
All the best ones are just insurance.
A loan is like an insurance.
Yeah, isn't J.K. Simmons?
He's insurance.
Or the kind of like the I'm hoping it will be, but we'll see.
Fingers crossed.
Again, as an actor, too, you get zero information.
So I just have like the basics of what I'm doing.
But as an actor, could you understand information?
No, of course not.
I'm dumb as hell.
No,
we're all dumb fucks.
So thank you.
Absolutely not.
Um,
now are you,
cause sometimes,
uh,
an actor would be worried to be doing work like that because they don't want to get typecast or they don't want it.
Do you care about that?
That's a really good question.
No one's asked me that yet.
Um,
shit,
I should fucking cancel this.
No, I don't know.
That's a really good question.
I don't know.
I'm going to do it
because it's a great opportunity
in the sense that
it's like a series of commercials.
It's print.
It's also,
they're also going to fly me back
to like,
I have to do in-branch visits.
Shut up.
Really?
I can't tell you what I am,
but I can tell you that I fly.
Oh boy, this is great.
Okay.
And that I'm tiny.
No, you're some sort of bat.
I'm bigger than a bread box.
Yeah.
Oh, you're tiny?
I'm tiny.
Oh, you're a fairy.
But I can't tell you what I am.
Oh, understood.
Yeah.
So.
Oh man.
So you get to go to.
But maybe you're an angel.
Like a Philadelphia cream cheese.
Is there a cream cheese involved in this?
There's no-
Maybe.
I don't know.
And actually, the best part-
Yeah, there might be on set.
All jokes.
Maybe.
I hope so.
I will be eating it if there are.
I've been advised to eat very healthy the day of and to do lots of stretching.
The day of the whole week?
The day of the week?
So I ate a lot of cheese.
Like, I've just been packing away.
What I usually do is like chips and Cheezies. Like, today I got Cheezies. Don't ever put a $20 bill into a lot of cheese. Like I've just been packing away. What I usually do is like chips and cheesies.
Like today I got cheesies.
Don't ever put a $20 bill into a vending machine.
They only, if you're getting little bag of cheesies, they only drop back toonies and loonies.
I hated myself.
I thought they'd bring me back a bill.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang.
I just put a big wad of like.
But you're lucky you got anything back.
Some of those machines are just like, oh, no, we don't give a change.
Yeah.
And we don't give product. Yeah. Sometimes we just get stuck. Yeah. We, no, we don't give a chance. No. And we don't give products.
Yeah.
Sometimes we just get stuck.
Yeah, we're just a box
that you put money into.
Yeah.
That's exciting.
Yeah.
Was this the one
you were telling us
you beat out a redhead for?
I beat out a redhead.
And that's unheard of
in the acting industry.
Come again?
Yes, it is.
A hundred percent.
Because if you watch,
I was telling these guys
that if you watch commercials,
if you have cable, I don't have cable
which is a horrible thing
to say as an actor
I just don't watch anything
but I watch Netflix
I think it's a believable thing
to say as an actor
okay
it's too
yeah because it costs
too much
it costs too much
fucking money
I'm poor as hell
but if you watch commercials
and you pay attention
especially like anyways
what they're casting out of here
but Canadian television
and commercials
all of the females
or a big chunk of them
right now
redheads are on fire.
It's a redhead.
When I see a redhead
in an audition
I'm always like
why the fuck am I here?
Why did you put me here?
This is the thing
that I
because I went out
on some auditions
that never landed anything
but sometimes I'd go out
on an audition
for like homeless guy
right?
And then there would be
a guy in there
that I'm like
oh man this guy
is way more homeless. This guy is And then there would be a guy in there that I'm like, oh man, this guy is way more homeless.
This guy is actually homeless.
They found this guy.
Yeah, exactly.
So like where you walk in,
you're like, can I just sign out?
Like I know I'm not getting it over.
Don't you hate that?
I hate that.
Or you go into a room
and there's like 50 plus other actors there.
Like, I guess.
And they're all redheaded.
And they're all redheads and they're all red heads
well what are you
supposed to do
why am I here
and it's for the
Raggedy Ann movie
that's what we were saying
the commercial
I'm really doing
we were saying
is for the Wendy's
the new Wendy
yeah
I beat out Wendy
to be Wendy
you're like a flying Wendy
a flying Wendy
oh like
Peter Pan
yeah
oh right
and they'll loan you
a hamburger
it's for a loan burger company yeah a burger loan company rather Lying Wendy. Oh, like Peter Pan. Yeah. Oh, right. And they'll loan you a hamburger.
It's for a loan burger company.
Yeah.
A burger loan company, rather.
Well, that's a wimpy from Popeye.
He was always hamburger today.
I'll pay you tomorrow.
Yeah.
That was a hamburger loan.
Loan burger.
It's a thing.
Oh, and their spokesman's the Lone Ranger.
Eating a burger.
Lone Burger.
The Lone Ranger and his sidekick is Wimpy.
Oh, it's so good.
Well, like, the Lone Ranger is about right for the kind of, like,
person they would put on the cups at Dairy Queen.
Yeah.
Yeah, or Denny's.
You can get a place met with the Lone Ranger.
A hundred percent.
That sounds amazing.
So like,
you have to do,
have you ever done anything like that?
Like in-store appearances?
Totally.
So I do.
Have you ever had to do
something like that?
No.
No.
We've all appeared in stores.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, like,
have I presented my body
in a store?
Yeah.
And what was that like?
It was okay.
Okay.
It was scary.
No, I haven't.
It's really interesting.
It'll be, I don't, again, like minimal information.
They said I'm sort of like contractually bound.
So for 2018, I'm going to have to, on a whim, I guess they'll fly me out to certain branches.
I think they're in every, this particular company is in every major Canadian city, I believe.
Wow.
Flimflon.
Yeah, Flimflon. Yeah, Flimflon.
The Paw.
Blip Blat.
Blip Blat.
And Paw-y-bring.
Paw-y-bring, Ontario.
Snowville, yeah.
That's, and they loan hamburgers.
Yeah.
I told you, I can't tell you anymore.
Yeah, but that's fine.
We're getting a full picture of what this is all about.
Lowranger, burger loan.
I can't, I don't.
What's the problem?
I don't know how loaning works.
I can't tell you.
I told you I'm an actress.
You go in.
You put down a certain money, like $1 on a hunt.
Three bucks on a hunt.
Three bucks on a hunt.
It's like Money Mart.
Yeah.
And then you give them the check minus their fee, minus whatever interest.
And then they give you the money.
But then you buy a car.
Everyone in a loan buys a car.
Everyone in a loan?
Everybody who's alone.
Everyone in a loan.
So if you're in a loan, if you have a loan, you say, I'm in a loan right now.
I know that much.
I'm not allowed to see other loans because I'm in a loan right now.
Do you get to write any of the ads?
Because here's an idea
you can pitch.
Okay.
Home alone.
Home loan.
Home alone.
Ah.
But it's Burger Loans.
Yeah, okay,
but that was then.
Home loans.
Home alone.
Ah.
That seems like
something you'd see
at like, you know,
11 o'clock at night
the local ad
for a loan place.
Yeah.
Jerry's Loans.
Jerry's.
Oh, did we?
You can't see the company.
Damn it.
Oh, great, great.
I didn't know that they were national.
She's the Jerry's angel.
Yeah, they are.
The Jerry's flying angel.
Okay.
I throw burgers out.
Yeah.
With cream cheese.
Yeah, with cream cheese.
Spread a little love.
Well, because.
Did Steve Bayes write that song?
Maybe. I don't know. Our past because. Did Steve Bayes write that song? Maybe.
I don't know.
Our past guest, John Hodgman, he was one half of the Apple, you know, one was a PC and one
was an Apple computer.
I don't know.
Yeah, that's ringing a bell.
What were those?
Were those like, it was a big string of commercials.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were on for like years.
Yes, of course.
And they were human.
They were, they played, one played Apple, one played the PC.
Yeah. I don't remember these. You do too. She barely remembers them like years. Oh, yes, of course. And they were human. They played, one played Apple, one played the PC. Yeah.
I don't remember these.
You do too.
She barely remembers them.
And I'm, I'm, I'm.
I just recited the entire commercial.
But when he.
I'm an Apple and I'm a ZZ.
A DC?
I'm an Apple.
I'm from DC.
I'm from DC.
Oh my God.
But when he got it, his agent was like, you know, maybe then people will only ever think
of you as this commercial thing.
And he was like, that's fine.
My honest answer?
I'll fucking take anything at this goddamn point.
It's true.
This is your last chance. You're 49.
I'm not 49, but that's
alright. Have you ever been punched in your own
home?
Home alone?
Have you ever been punched by a guest?
Well, that guy that
was the can you hear
me now guy.
Yeah.
He then he's now
switched allegiances.
That's right.
Really?
Yeah.
He went, what is the
company?
I don't know.
It's another phone
company.
Yeah.
He was Verizon.
Now he's T-Mobile or
he's AT&T or he's
Comcast or he's.
Because the stipulation
in the
I mean
that's good
that's promising
when was that
recently
yeah
okay because
usually in these
like within the breakdowns
they say must not
have done
previous loan
worked for previous
loan companies
in commercial or ads
or whatever
so if you have
you're not
and they ask you again
once you get there
but this guy
is an iconic guy
he was the most
interesting man
in cell phone
oh wow
he was one of People Magazine's most beautiful people that first year.
He might have been.
Yeah.
They'll always in those magazines, like in the most beautiful people issue, they will do like, hey, you don't recognize this guy?
He's Ryan Seacrest.
Who's that?
Some people find him attractive.
I don't get it.
Yeah.
What about that whole thing with the sexiest man alive?
What was his name?
Blake Shelton.
Blake Shelton.
Is he the guy whose name we couldn't remember for like-
Brunk Dunstan.
Brunk Dunstan.
Brunk Dunstan?
Yeah.
Close.
Turf Korfman or whatever.
Yeah, that's even closer.
But when I saw it written out there on the cover, I honestly,
for years,
I thought his name
was Blake Elton.
Blake Elton.
Yeah.
What?
I thought his first name
was Blake.
Yeah.
Okay.
As in to slam on the Blake.
Yeah, no, got it.
And his last name was Elton
as in Elton John.
And there was a space symmetry.
But what was your,
what was your take on it?
I just felt sad.
I hated how much attention,
I felt really gross about that industry
and just the human race.
The man industry?
Well, no, I felt gross about the human race
and mostly females who were like,
I can't believe he was the sexiest man alive.
I just don't fucking get it.
He's not.
There's so many other people to choose from.
Holy shit.
You bitch. I don't know. There's three and a other people to choose from holy shit you bitch
like
I don't know
I guess I just like
there's three and a half billion
to choose from
yeah that's true
yeah
and Larry King's still alive
imagine
okay
alright
that's a
okay
but he
imagine you were him
and he had
there was this big
like I don't know if you saw this
but like on all the blogs
and all the magazines
and all the front pages
and like ET Canada
and all this bullshit
was like up in an,
like it was an uproar of how could Bleich Shelton,
Elton,
I mean,
Bleich Elton be the sexiest man alive.
What if you were him?
Wouldn't you like kind of really hate yourself for a bit?
Hey,
my wife,
Gwen Stefani.
I think they're just dating.
Okay.
Didn't they break up?
Oh,
I don't know.
Oh my God,
you guys.
Are you breaking the story here? right here know oh my god you guys are you breaking
the story here
right here officially
hi you guys
it's Amy
um
hi Amy
Amy you're calling
in from Hollywood
what's going on
down there
hey you guys
I just want to
report that
Blaise Elton
and Gwen Staponi
have officially
split
oh
this is all
the humanity
um yeah I guess uh I don't know I guess I'd be uh Oh, this is all the humanity.
Yeah, I guess.
I don't know.
I guess I'd be sad.
What does that mean?
It is what?
Mean to.
But it's also silly to call somebody.
Have the sexiest someone alive.
I totally agree.
Because the next year they're still alive.
They don't kill them, do they? Have they ever?
Yeah.
Because like Nick Nolte won one year.
That's right.
Is he alive?
He looks dead.
He's alive.
And this was when he was in The Prince of Tides.
And so it was like 1991-ish.
And I think that was a year when like a lot of sexy guys were on the brink of death.
Right.
So they were like, by time of publishing, we don't know.
Well, he might,
yeah, he might be
weak in a Bernie yet
because he does literally
look like he's dead.
Has Bernie ever won
sex, he's been alive?
No.
No, because he's not alive.
But they could trick.
That's my thing.
Yeah.
Like if the cover
of the magazine
played some island rhythms,
it could bring him to life.
Was that just the second one?
Could pop at his body.
Yeah, it's only the second one
that they pop at him.
The first one.
What, the dancing?
I think the second one,
the music,
like he doesn't...
Music brings him back to life?
Well, not to life,
but he just dances.
What was the second one about?
Because I never made it
to the second one.
We need to go away for a second weekend.
He's still dead.
At whose?
At whose?
Wow.
Got to watch it.
So you booked the thing.
That's fantastic.
What else is going on?
So many things.
Actually, I have a show coming up.
Ryan and I have a show coming up in March.
Ryan Steele.
Ryan Steele. Ryan Steele.
Ryan Jason Steele.
That's a good name. That is a good name, isn't it?
Did he just drop Ryan to Jason Steele?
You know what, he should because
there's a famous Ryan Steele who's a dancer.
So if you Google Ryan Steele. There are no famous dancers.
Okay, yeah. Well, no, I know.
Baryshnikov. Okay, Baryshnikov.
Jennifer Lopez. The little girl from
the Sia videos.
Yeah.
That old man that dances the Six Flags commercial.
Oh, yeah.
Uncle Junior.
Yeah, Uncle Junior.
No, that's it.
That's all of them. But there are some famous ones.
Okay.
And Ryan Steele.
And Ryan Steele.
Google this person.
So he should change his name to Jason Steele.
But we are part of the JFL, JFL Northwest, uh, comedy festival.
What's that like?
It's really fun actually.
It was, it'll be our third year in a row doing it.
Um,
Three feet.
A three feet.
I'm super stoked.
We're part of the best of the West local community.
Yeah.
And our show is on March 9th at XY nightclub.

Where's that?
It's in the Davie Village.
You've been there quite a few times.
How close is it to the Denny's?
That's how I orient myself. Hey, nice. A block.
Because Denny's is on Thurlow, right?
It's on Butte.
So we were talking last week about gay bars.
Please, give it to me.
And we were wondering, can there be a gay Arby's?
Yeah.
Like, why are there only gay bars and not gay Arby's?
Like, why can't you have a gay Subway?
There is gay Subway.
What do you mean, like, gay restaurants?
Yeah, yeah, gay restaurants.
Or, like, on that gay neighborhood street?
Like, a restaurant where only gay people go?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the restaurant that has, like, I don't go to a- It's getting really discriminatory, but, yeah. Yeah, the restaurant that has like... Look, I don't go to...
It's getting really discriminatory, but go on.
I don't go to any bars really, so I don't know what goes on in a gay bar.
Wow, you're missing out.
And what makes it gay.
Okay, good question.
Wow, we're getting really deep here.
I'm just an actress.
I wouldn't be turned away at the door at a gay bar.
No, of course not.
They don't show your gay card.
They have to show your, like,
you know, dingleberries
and pole to get in.
Yeah, that's what you meant.
Dingleberries.
Yeah, dingleberries and pole.
Yeah.
Your pole.
But, like, the dingleberries
are...
Tiny little balls
and your pole
is your genitalia penis.
Dingleberries are, like,
a dirty thing
on my butt.
You're scrotum.
It's stuck to my butt
Yeah
Oh sorry
Those are dingleberries
Yeah
Oh wait okay
It's coming to now
It's not
Not those
Okay
Not those
You don't want to show that
Don't show your dingleberries ever
What if the club
Is called dingleberries
Then you probably
Have to show your dingleberries
So
Is that a no
On the gay armies
I mean
Dave needs to know
Anywhere it can be gay.
I mean, I could support the whole on though.
That's a really good question.
First of all, all restaurants are.
Thank you, by the way, because I'm sweating it.
Yeah, you should.
It's a good question in the sense that, yes, it's like, what's the difference between a, there's no straight bars, are there?
Right?
Like, it's just gay bars.
Straight bars are like, you think of a straight bar as inclusive or like a regular bar.
Yeah.
And they don't even identify as gay. I don't think they, I don't think of a straight bar as inclusive or like a regular bar. Yeah. I mean,
I don't think they,
I don't think of any bars as really inclusive.
Yeah.
I don't go to Granville Street.
Do you go to Granville Street?
No.
I don't go.
Yeah,
exclusively.
I'd rather die.
Oh,
yeah.
Oh,
yeah.
I go on Friday night.
Here's what I do.
I see you there.
I see you there.
I hit venue.
Yeah,
love it.
Then I walk down the road.
Caprice.
Caprice.
I took the words
right out of my mouth.
Hitting Caprice.
Caprice.
And then,
Roxy.
What's that?
Roxy Roxy
I'll hit the Roxy
And then I'll go up
To Tom Lee Music
Tom Lee Music
I go to Morrissey
I go to Gay Arby's
Wait
Oh no
No no no
Wrong street
Wrong street
Doesn't exist
Gay clubs are the shit
By the way
You need to experience
A gay club
I want to do a gay club
Do they
Know it's Christmas
First of all Of course And Shirt to a gay club. Do they know it's Christmas, first of all?
Of course.
Shirtless Christmas.
Second of all, do they, like, my only worry about going to a gay bar is, like, are they
open at, like, 7.30 p.m.?
Can I be home by 9?
Okay.
No one will be there, but it probably will be open.
XY opens early.
Okay.
And do they show Jeopardy?
No, but there was bingo last night. Okay. Bingo? Yeah. They have piano nights. there but it probably will be open xy opens early okay and do they show jeopardy no but we put there
was bingo last night okay bingo yeah they have piano there was a farmer who had a dog and bingo
was his name never heard of it okay it was a series of apple commercials oh perfect uh
what is uh the bingo is in a nightclub yeah Yeah. Why? Um, it's like a, mostly drag queens host it.
It's just like a fun way to get people into the club.
So they'll have different nights, like piano night, drag show night.
What happens on piano night?
There's a beautiful piano that comes and, that comes and rolls out.
It's alive and it rolls itself out.
Oh, cool.
Oh, here's an idea.
A living piano.
Here's an idea for a t-shirt.
Has this been done?
Oh no.
It's a picture of Santa Claus and he's in drag.
Yeah.
And it says, slay all day.
Slay all day.
That's pretty good.
Oh, my God.
I don't know, but I would buy it.
Okay.
Slay all day?
Slay all day.
You've been in a gay club and you also might be.
Anyways.
I mean, look.
I mean, that's pretty good.
The human sexuality is.
It's a big spectrum.
It's elastic.
Yeah.
One day I'm one way, and the next day I bounce.
Yeah.
One day you love your wife, and you totally are all for it.
Next day you regret it and want to fuck a dude.
I will always love my wife, no matter what I feel like doing.
Fair.
Fair.
Hey, this is a safe place.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All good and bad ideas are being put on the table.
And I want to, if any listeners are uncomfortable, I want to make it known that we can say this because Amy is a 49-year-old lesbian.
I'm not 49, but I am a lesbian.
And I love your wife.
And I kind of have a crush on her.
Is that right?
Yes.
All right. She's beautiful. All cards crush on her. Is that right? Yes. All right.
She's beautiful.
All cards on the table.
Not trying to do anything.
I just want to admire the fact
that you have a beautiful,
really cute, funny,
maybe likes me.
I'm feeling a bit of a vibe wife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's all I'm saying.
That's it.
And all I'm saying is
I've watched Jeopardy!
in a gay bar.
So what's wrong with that?
What is?
What is nothing?
What is wrong with that?
Nothing. We're on the same. So what's wrong with that? What is? What is nothing? What is wrong with that? Nothing.
We're on the same page.
What is wrong with that?
And I like your wife too.
You do?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Are you married?
I'm not married,
but I have a partner of five years.
Five years.
Yes.
Wow.
So basically married.
She designs backpacks?
She works for the company
that designs backpacks, yes.
Five years.
They make,
they'll loan you a backpack.
Yes.
You were not allowed to mention that in the back book.
It's a backpack loan company, yeah.
Five years.
Yes.
Is that longest time relationship?
Yes.
Yes.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Three was my longest.
Five now is my longest.
That's it.
Nice.
What's your longest, Graham?

I think that shows I can go the distance.
I think so too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do.
Are you, do you want to go the distance?
Well, I'm going for speed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Five years.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's a long time.
It's a lot.
When was the anniversary?
It's. Oh boy. Shit. Yeah. She long time. It's a lot. When was the anniversary? It's.
Oh, boy.
Shit.
Yeah.
She knows it.
It's at the end of February.
Oh.
Or March.
So it's a leap year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or March.
Or March.
I can't remember.
I think it's March.
Well, at least you were able to narrow it down to a season.
Yeah.
I'm not good with dates.
It's either February or March.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
It's March 9th.
The night of our show.
Yeah.
No.
No, no. It's not. It's at the end of one of. It's. Fuck. I don't know. It, no. It's March 9th, the night of our show. Yeah. No. No, no.
It's not.
It's at the end of one of the...
Fuck.
I don't know.
It's fine.
It's fine.
She can't listen to this podcast.
You have to cut this out.
See, she doesn't listen, does she?
No.
She hates everything I do.
No.
She's a really big supporter.
She will share this and listen to the end.
So, I'm going to take a stab at it.
I think it's March 24th.
Whoa.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
So, not even the same season.
That's right.
But when you're not married, what makes an anniversary date?
Yeah.
Because Abby and I had one, and we were like, we never went on a first date.
So we just picked the night that we saw that episode of Blind Date.
I think for us, it was the date we decided.
I think it's like a couple deciding thing.
For us, it was the day that we met in person.
Like the day that we met.
How did you meet?
We came together initially.
We started coming together through Ryan, my comedy partner, Ryan Steele.
Ryan Jason Steele.
Just Jason Steele now.
Cool.
He was working at a bar and she used to come in quite often, I guess.
And I was single at the time and just getting out of kind of a funny relationship.
Funny, haha.
Yeah, it was funny.
You dated Phyllis Diller for a number of years.
I dated her.
Him, her.
And then, yeah, and then he said, oh, you should hook, you should, you know, whatever. I have this girl years. I dated her. Him, her. And then,
yeah,
and then he said,
oh, you should hook,
you should, you know,
whatever,
I have this girl
that I know,
blah, blah, blah.
And I wasn't initially
interested because I was,
had just been freshly
broken up with
this funny person.
And,
and then,
Did they break up
with you in a funny way?
Yeah, they made a joke
and that was that.
Yeah.
So it was like left,
just forever,
I just think it was
really funny.
Yeah, because they left on a high note. Yeah, because they left on a high note.
Yeah, because they left on a high note.
So I'm like, that was really funny.
Boy, man, she really left me wanting more.
Yeah.
But yeah, so we just kind of like did the new age thing where we followed each other on social media.
And then we were like, it was a really kind of a slow burn that way.
And then we just ended up meeting each other at a bar one night, at a gay bar.
Do you think I could end up with some of the people I follow on social media?
Of course.
Because I'm really digging the fat Jewish.
Oh, my God.
Me too.
I would convert for him.
Yeah.
He's funny.
To Judaism?
To Judaism.
Wait a minute.
Is he who left you wanting more?
Yes.
It was him.
I didn't want to say that.
That's fine.
It's fine.
Everybody is interested.
He was the funny female that I dated for two and a half years, that one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess the social media thing does kind of happen either first or has to happen in tandem.
It does.
Now it's not just the meeting.
I won't follow my wife on social media.
What? Dave? Look. She's producing great content. it's not just it's not just the meeting I won't follow my wife on social media what what
look
she's producing great content
the thing is
I like to keep my following
follower to following ratio
really
really tight
she didn't make the cut
and you know what
it's just
it's the fat Jewish
yeah
it's
fuckjerry.com
yeah
it's
like stock tips
stock tips
sure
PewDiePie PewDiePie tweets yeah Pew. Stock tips, sure. But like PewDiePie.
PewDiePie tweets.
Yeah.
PewDiePie.
Yeah, PewDiePie.
PewDiePie.
But just PewDiePie after dark.
And, you know, Minecraft.
Oh, nice.
Everyone but your wife.
Yeah.
Okay.
What's up with that?
Everything but the girl.
Yeah, I get it.
And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain.
Right.
And you ask her things about herself instead of seeing what she's doing.
Because like on dating apps now, I was with, pardon me, a girl today, a friend of mine.
What's that like?
It's nice having friends.
Yeah.
And she's female, which is kind of nice.
Just girl to girl.
You know, sometimes you just want to be with a gal.
I need more of that.
Yeah.
So we were looking, I was looking at her dating app.
She's single and she's looking on her dating app today.
And I noticed that most people put, or a lot of people put their Instagram.
Like, you want to know more about me?
Go to my Instagram.
But it's so weird.
Like, that's how you, instead of initiating a conversation, but at the same time, it's kind of cool too.
Because then you can kind of like really kind of meet.
Well, actually.
You can kind of suss out what they're doing.
Into maybe, but also could be complete bullshit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the hard part.
I think I could fake an Instagram account in an afternoon.
Yeah.
Exactly.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
I could tell if you're faking an Instagram.
No way.
Oh my God.
The way I do it.
I'll have what she's taking a picture of.
There's a local comedian.
I can't remember her name now, but she's really loves us on social media. So we'd have this social media love back and forth. She's a local comedian. I can't remember her name now, but she really loves us on social media.
So we have this social media love back and forth.
She's a comedian.
I can't remember her name now, but she's so funny.
And she's part of the Tell a Story Hive competition that's going on.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
And I believe, I hope this is not the wrong information, but I believe she's been funded.
So now she's like, you have to compete and then you get funded.
You're the home listener.
Who cares?
Okay, sorry.
It's Phyllis Dillon.
Anyhow, so she's got this project going where,
and again, I can't remember, it's like Instagram.
She's an Instagram influencer, but it's completely hilarious.
Like it's what it really is.
So they have like basically behind the scene footage
of her like trying to get the perfect shot,
but it's fucking hilarious.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like 2000 shots later.
It's like the reality of it.
I've watched documentaries about these youtube stars really
and uh if i find it riveting yeah because it's not real well and it's also like these
for the most part it's a lot of young boys that uh young 11 year old girls want to scream at In person. Scream at. Hey! Get over here!
Hey!
No!
Not in here!
You take that hat off!
That hat is inappropriate!
Exactly.
And then they put together these tours where these boys just go stand on stage and these girls scream and they go insane.
Yeah, but what do they do on stage?
They dance.
They throw water at each other. Okay. That's it. There's no... How long a show is it? They go insane. Yeah, but what do they do on stage? They dance. They throw water at each other.
Okay.
That's it.
How long a show is it?
Like 20 minutes.
Is it a really big show?
Would Ed Sullivan have these kids come on and stand there?
Kids love Ed Sullivan.
He comes out and introduces them.
Well, he came out.
The girls were screaming at the Beatles.
Yeah.
No, they were screaming at Ed.
They were giving Ed a little.
It was for Ed.
And a little bit of Frank Gorshin.
Yeah.
No, they were screaming at Ed.
They were giving Ed a little. It was for Ed.
And a little bit of Frank Gorshin.
But they dance on stage for 20 minutes, and then everybody who buys a ticket gets to get a picture.
Oh, it's all about the meet and greet.
Yeah.
What happened to the Backstreet Boys or people that you would have?
They're all dead.
Okay.
They're all alive.
No, no, no.
They're coming back.
Uh-uh.
What?
Joey Fatone ate them. Oh, no. What? Joey Fatone ate them.
Oh, no.
What?
He cooked and ate them.
That's insane.
Yeah, right?
What are you talking about?
He ate them?
He cooked, killed, and ate them in that order.
Nobody told me this.
Yeah.
I went to their concert.
Backstreet Boys?
Oh, no.
Okay, what are your top five Backstreet Boy memories?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Memories?
In general?
When did you go to their concert?
A million years ago.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
Tell us all about it.
Well, it was pretty cool.
So this was at an arena.
Yes, it was at, I guess, what it would have been at the time, GM Place maybe?
Sure.
Because what was it before GM Place?
Well, the GM Place was when it was built in the mid-90s, it was called GM Place. That's what started it. Prior to that, we had the Pacific Coliseum, which still stands. Right. So it was GM Place. Well, the GM Place was when it was built in the mid-90s, it was called GM Place.
That's what started it.
Prior to that, we had the Pacific Coliseum, which still stands.
Right.
So it was GM Place then.
Right.
But now it's called Rogers Arena.
Yes, it is.
Sorry.
But I still call it GM Place.
Do you guys?
Yeah, of course.
I just call it the garage.
Love it.
Makes sense.
Yeah.
Perfect sense.
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, I don't know.
I can't remember.
This is a terrible story because I just sort of like remember like one memory of it.
I remember like where I was sitting and watching them
and they were like,
actually, I have a better story about a Backstreet Boys
because I saw Nick Carter.
I saw him twice.
So I saw him with the Backstreet Boys.
I saw him solo.
Let me explain why.
So I saw Backstreet Boys.
It was awesome.
I was way, I was like, I think I was like a teen,
a late teen.
And it was super fun and they were great.
And it was still when they were like kind of floating out, but like ish in their prime.
Like they were still good.
They were weird. It was like maybe The Call.
Yeah.
No, it was like, was it like Fire and Ice when they did or something?
It was like Fire or Ice or something album.
Oh, The Lukewarm Water.
Yeah.
The Melting Ice.
How to Melt Ice. How to Melt melting ice How to melt ice How to melt
How to melt an atomic ice
Well
So then I got
Over the Backstreet Boys
Now if I still hear their songs
I'm still like
The best way to get
Over the Backstreet Boys
Is to get
Under NSYNC
What?
Excuse me?
What kind of podcast
Is this?
She will not tolerate
I will not
Be going here
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry.
That's all right.
Let's respect these boys and their backstreet.
Their backstreet is just full of dingleberry.
Yeah, it's full of fucking dingleberries.
You don't show them though.
So my friend, who also is a lesbian,
happens to be obsessed with Nick Carter for some reason.
I don't know what it is.
It's not like a sexual thing, but it's just like-
The butt cut?
Loves him.
It's the butt cut. What is that? The butt cut. His haircut that not like a sexual thing But it's just like The butt cut Loves him It's the butt Yeah the butt cut
What is that?
The butt cut
His haircut that is like
Oh
Butt in the middle
Yeah
Butt crack down the middle
And like when they were
Looks like a minion
Yeah
Yeah exactly
When they were heartthrobs
They were like
Kept it pretty cool
Like they weren't like overly
Like overtly like sexual
Or anything like that
They were just like romantic
Right like they held roses
Exactly
It was like cool right
Well Nick Carter is Horned up as hell now.
What are we, 40 minutes in and we're the first mention of being horned up.
I got to keep it true to the roots.
So my friend takes me, begs me, not even kidding you, to go to the P&E, the fair here, to go and see Nick Carter, who's coming, who's been invited to come to the fair.
And I'm like, oh, fuck.
Well, I'll go for the donuts and all the food because I want to go eat.
So I'm like, sure, I'll go.
This was literally like five years ago.
It wasn't even that long ago.
So this is the first time you saw Nick Carter?
This is the second time I saw Nick Carter.
The first time was when I was in my late teens.
Keep up with me.
Wait, so you saw him solo in your late teens?
No, no.
I saw Backstreet Boys in my late teens.
Oh, okay.
And then I saw him solo.
You saw him solo once or twice?
Once.
Okay, okay.
Once.
So we went to see him.
He comes out.
We're all there.
Everybody's there is already like we're in our 30s
and like they brought their little kids or like whatever.
They haven't gotten over it.
So we're in our 30s.
It's this weird little horny scene.
He comes out.
I think he's going to be just like the Backstreet Boys,
like keeping it cool, like nostalgia, like we remember.
He comes out so horny.
I swear to God, he had a fucking boner.
And he had this, it was like, his album was horny and corny.
He had this big-
Was that the name of his album?
Horny and corny.
It was like Fire and Ice or Horny and Corny.
I can't remember.
Horny with a corny, yeah.
The side of corny.
So he had this, itny with a corny. Yeah. So the side of corny.
So he had this like, it was like a space album.
So he came out in this space suit and he walked out with basically a boner.
And there were kids there because people our age had brought their kids.
Yeah.
You guys are going to love this. All he was basically like, basically rubbing his crotch on stage.
And he was like super horny and talking about how he loves sex.
And like, and he was like, at one point he about how he loved sex and like and he was like at one point he goes
hey ladies
who out there
likes to have sex
I was like
oh my god
us
yeah Nick Carter
the bunch of us
our kids will
eventually
it's a biological urge
that is
it's really
perpetuating the species
Nick that's what it was really perpetuating the species.
That's what it was.
And he was like coming out and he was all like.
That's why I'm so horny.
But it was about him coming from space to come to earth to fuck.
It was really awful.
So was the album called Coming to Earth?
With a U.
Coming to earth, dot, dot, dot, to fuck.
In case he didn't do it Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah it was
It was awful
Was his album called
I'm Taking Off
Yeah probably
When was it
That wouldn't
2011
I want to see
Let me see
Yes
It's not a space cover
Oh
Well he was a space man
Is that him just sitting on hay
Well no
That's
Now or never
And it's him sitting on dirt
He was a space man when he came out,
I'm telling you. Now, did he do
that song about playing basketball with Shaq?
I don't think so.
Oh, is that his brother? That's Aaron
Carter.
Now, did they have a sister?
Yes, they have a couple sisters, I think.
Didn't you ever watch the reality show? Yeah, was their sister
Brooke Hogan?
She's part of the Hogan family.
Oh, you mean Valerie's family.
I'm sorry.
I watch this very weird reality show about the new kids on the block.
They go on this cruise every year.
And they're super horny.
And all the women on the cruise are super horny.
Well, the women are super hornny. Well, the women are supes horned.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's what I'm wondering.
Was Nick just giving the crowd what they wanted?
No, they didn't want it?
No.
He came out and he was like, do you guys like having sex?
And everybody's like, no.
No one was like, yeah.
Well, okay, there were a couple girls that were like a few, you know, beers bruised deep.
Yeah, sure.
They showed up here to have sex with Nick Carter.
Yeah, yeah.
They wanted to.
But most of the people were very uncomfortable.
And it was very unexpected.
Did he do any recognizable songs?
No.
He didn't do any backstreet work?
It was all from him.
No.
And what time of day are we talking here?
6 p.m.?
Early evening.

Boyz II Men.
Aerosmith, Boyz II Men.
Oh, Boyz II Men's a good couple.
You know, for any of Prince's.
But like Boyz II Men aren't.
They're romantic.
But like they're romantic, but they want you to be horny.
But they're like, hey, baby.
Yeah, they're sharing the horny.
They're like, it's okay for you to be horny right now,
but we're going to keep ourselves together.
Okay, totally.
I wasn't uncomfortable.
I guess I mean like bands that are like horny,
like just can't keep it together.
I feel like anything under the Prince.
They're falling down with horniness.
Prince.
Prince's domain was, there was like so much horniness going on.
Prince was horny.
I mean, there's that viral video of those guys humping an almond.
But that wasn't a band.
I never saw that.
Like, what about like something like Warrant?
You know, like the cherry pie, like that feels like that's a very horny song.
Kiss was super horny.
Some of the most ham-handed. Who sang Hot for Teacher again? Van Halen, like, Kiss was super horny. Some of the most ham-handed.

Notoriously, they all had sex with each other.
Was Abba horny?
Yes.
You think so?

Weren't they?
Aren't they notoriously big horns for each other?
Yeah.
I mean, they, I don't know if they all did it with each other.
Oh, I thought, I thought they did.
Yeah.
You mean Benny, Bjorn, Anna, Freed, and Agnetha?
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
The whole gang.
I think.
I think.
But yeah, I always thought of, I didn't ever think of them as horny necessarily.
Yeah.
I don't see Benny and Bjorn as very horny.
No.
What about the Bee Gees?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
There's a lot of, uh.
Yeah.
Good call.
Chest coming out of there.

Olivia Newton-Horn.
Oh,

there was some real,
what was his name,
Rockwell?
I always feel like
somebody's watching me.
But he had a song
called Obscene Phone Call.
Oh, he was the original Jerky Boys. like somebody's watching me. But he had a song called Obscene Phone Call. Oh.
He was the original Jerky Boys.
I think there was a lot of
80s horniness.
Yeah.
But what about
Grace Jones pulling up
to the bumper?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And by then,
in the 90s,
it felt like,
whoa, guys, AIDS.
Let's talk about AIDS.
Yeah.
But it was also,
I want to sex you up.
Was that calling me bad?
I have a detachable penis. Oh, yeah. I want to sex you up was that calling me bad? I have a detachable penis
oh yeah
I want to fuck you
like an animal
people are having sex
musicians are horny
music is horny
music is
the horny of the soul
but do you feel
you want to get horny?
put on a tape
do you think that
the young generation they've got their EDM.
Is EDM horny?
Is it the most horny?
I think EDM is like mindlessly horny.
It's just insane.
Take your brain out.
You're not even going to think about how horny this is.
You're not going to be present to enjoy it.
I think it's the drugs that you take when you listen to EDM that make you horny.
This is a drug-free podcast. Oh, my God. I apologize it's the drugs that you take when you listen to EDM that make you horny. This is a drug-free podcast.
Oh my god, I apologize. But you're right.
It's drug-free.
This podcast is drug-free
and peanut-free. Is it horny-free?
No, no, no. It's horny.
It's a horn-a-plenty.
Got it.
Two scoops of horny.
But like
the every era of music had like a drug Two scoops of horny. But like the
every era of music
had like a drug associated with it.
I feel like. So now it happens to be
the horny scrub.
What was the drug associated with this?
60s folk revival.
It's gotta be Marijuana.
I guess so, yeah.
I was hoping it was pills.
Then psychedelics. There's your you know. I was hoping it was pills. And then, psychedelics,
there's your LSD.
What's the dick,
like,
those dick pills
you can get at the gas station?
What's their music?
Oh,
trucker music.
Because it's at the gas station.
Oh, sure.
Convoy.
Yeah.
Eastbound and down.
Eastbound and down, yeah.
With two big truck hits.
I mean,
Wanted Dead or Alive,
I guess that's more
about a bus.
Oh, those guys.
Is that Bon Jovi?
Yeah.
As horny as they come.
Really?
Yeah, actually.
Bon Jovi?
But actually,
that might be the
Jim and Prince.
John, Richie,
Tico,
Agnetha.
Remember that video
for,
it was called Always,
I think,
by Bon Jovi?
That was like the
craziest,
horniest video
that ever did air. Well, it had Carla G was like the craziest, horniest video. Yeah.
That ever did air.
Well, it had Carla Gugino.
And it had Felicity.
Yeah, Felicity.
It had Felicity.
And it had that guy with those lips.
Ooh, those lips.
And that other guy who ended up on like Third Watch.
Guys, I know a lot about this video.
I think you've been into gay Arby's a couple times.
After describing that.
It had like the worst special effect where the guy
he's dreaming of
Carla Gugino
as we all do.
Wow.
And he's reaching out to her
but she's just a
vision in his mind
and his shadow
is just like the worst
like green screen
and like it blocks out
her existence
and then she fades away.
But isn't he just wearing
just a
he's wearing just
a sheet?
Yeah, that's after
he... That's after she
had sex with the artist guy from Third Watch,
I think.
And then Mr.
Lips came over and burnt it down.
Yes!
I'll be there till the stars
don't shine, till the
and the words don't rhyme.
Oh my God. Oh don't rhyme Oh my god
Oh my god
You guys
Why don't you do this?
We do
We go to the end of the road
Yeah, we go to children's hospitals
And we sing
My apologies
I didn't realize
We're way down the wish list
Yeah
If John Cena says no
If Just singing If Chris Pratt can't show up Way down the wish list. Yeah. Yeah. If John Cena says no. If.
Just singing.
The kids.
If Chris Pratt can't show up with his.
Right.
Mixtape from the movie.
If Johnny Depp doesn't want to show up as Captain Pirate.
Then it's us.
Right.
I'm an off-brand Pirates of the Caribbean.
I'm Captain Pirate.
How do you do?
Root toot toot.
And a tootly toot.
But it is Johnny Depp.
Johnny Depp as Captain Pirate.
As Captain Pirate.
Root toot toot and a toodly toot.
Dave, what's going on with you, man?
Well, it's the holiday season.
Yeah.
So whoop-dee-doo.
And hickory duck.
And don't forget to hang up your sock.
Yesterday, you and I went for lunch.
Yep.
We recorded last week's episode yesterday, a little behind the curtain there.
Yeah.
And I've been hearing for weeks about how Graham likes to get this wet sandwich.
Oh, man.
What?
I get Vancouver's wettest sandwich.
Sounds really good.
Wow.
It's at this Mexican restaurant up the bum around the corner, up the street.
And I was honestly expecting it to be wetter.
Hold on.
Did you say up your bum and around the corner?
He certainly did.
Sorry.
I didn't get the wettest one.
I got the one that was intermediate wet.
So what is it on the menu?
I got a soggy torta.
Yeah, I just got a torta, vegetarian torta, but it comes in.
It's already so wet.
I don't know what they do to it to make it so wet.
And then they also advertise one that you could get that they pour sauce on it.
So it's like drenched in sauce.
It's delicious.
I don't know why they're so obsessed with just like wet.
It's got to be so wet.
And does it fall apart in your hands?
Yeah, it falls apart everywhere.
It goes on your shirt, goes on your pants, goes on the floor.
I didn't even notice it being that wet.
I honestly, like, I wasn't that impressed.
And then your hands smell like the sandwich for the rest of the day.
I know what you're talking about.
You're talking about up your butt and around the corner.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I had, last night, I ordered three shrimp tacos from there.
So freaking good.
So wet.
And honestly, the onions on my hand smell have just left.
It was yesterday, like last night.
It's been a full day.
Okay.
I go there and I get a shrimp taco and a fish taco and the two other whatever.
But I always get shrimp and fish.
I don't know which is which.
Wait, so okay, you had three shrimp ones.
Are they the one, did they have a bunch of cabbage on top?
Yes.
Okay, those are the shrimp ones.
Yes, yes, yes.
Good to know.
So good though.
I only get those because, look, I'm on record.
I don't like that place.
You don't?
Because everything tastes the same.
That's why I get shrimp and fish because they're the two things that aren't like,
everything else comes out of the same pot.
It's like a general meat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't ever get anything else but the shrimp tacos.
So I wouldn't know.
I know I like those.
I get the wet sandwich.
I say.
Do you say wet?
Run it under the sink if you have to.
Although there, I mean, there's two Mexican restaurants within a block of each other.
Yes.
So I like, I really like the shrimp tacos at the other one better.
Do you like the ones
by the pizza place?
Or the ones by the Italian place?
Yeah, the ones by the Italian place.
Ah, okay, okay.
We're not allowed to say
the names of these places
because I'm an official spokesman
for both of these restaurants,
which is, well,
can you eat my taco now?
Just, if you want to find out
which one it is,
go to the phone book.
Look under M for moist.
Wet.
Yeah, moist. Or W.. Wet. Yeah, moist.
Just wet.
Yeah, wet.
It'll say, see moist.
You go to the moist section.
And then last night I went up the street and around the corner to my friend Chris Kelly,
producer of This Is That, producer of Dexter Guff.
Little hottie.
Total local hottie.
Local hottie with a body
he
it was his birthday
my birthday tomorrow
no big deal
at the time of recording
not at the time
of listening to this
so if you want to
send me a birthday message
it's too late
not for me
I gave you a card
with five dollars in it
with a five dollar bill in it
it's a classic Graham gag.
But I appreciate it.
It was really nice.
It's a fun gag.
Nobody gets hurt.
Hey, next time,
give me five Bitcoins.
I don't know how that works.
I went to a Bitcoin website
and I was like,
time to learn about Bitcoin.
And it was just all numbers
and I was like,
ah, ha, ha.
Impenetrable.
I do a Bitcoin.
I'm a Bitcoin loan spokesman.
Oh, so, yeah.
I'm the Biddy the Bitcoin flying elf.
Oh, my God.
I thought I recognized you.
Yeah, I'm redheaded.
Good to see your catchphrase.
Okay, get the fuck out of here.
So, I went to Chris's birthday at a local hipster sports bar.
Sure, they only show darts and a pinochle.
Hipster sports.
I don't know if they'll do, like, I don't know if, it seems to be sports is the theme of this place.
But I don't know if they do, like, a UFC, like a real hardcore sports bar would.
They do a vegan FC.
Yes. Yes.
Yeah.
And they have like basketball, like fairground basketball game that you can.
Mm-hmm.
Sing some hoops.
Yeah.
I can dunk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not hard for me because I can dunk.
I don't think you're supposed to dunk.
No, but like I just, it's my reach.
You reach.
Like I'm just naturally.
You just reach over and dunk.
I'm naturally an athlete. You know, I beat Shaq at basketball. Oh my reach. You reach. You just reach over and dunk. I'm naturally athletic.
You know, I beat Shaq at basketball.
Oh my God.
I was inspired by music.
Horny music.
And so, but I drank four beers.
I don't think I drank four beers in a long time.
Yeah.
I did not feel good this morning.
No.
No.
You should know your limit.
And the baby is sick.
And so I was up all night with that
so I don't know whether
how many beers did she drink
last night
she
a lot
yeah
but it's hard to tell
because she has little ones
yeah and she boots
and rallies a lot
really
yeah yeah
that's why she's in
such corruption
what's boots and rallies
boots
blah
rally
I'm back
oh
yeah
I'm not into the culture
I am
I hang out at a lot of sports bars.
Me too.
And so this morning I was like,
okay, I have,
I want to watch something.
I can't go back to sleep.
Maybe I can watch something
that'll make me,
that won't take too long
and I can just relax.
And I watched this documentary
called Long Shot.
Okay.
About this guy.
It's 40 minutes long.
It's on Netflix.
It's about a guy
who is accused of murder.
Oh.
But he was at a baseball game at the time.
So they go through all the baseball game tapes.
The game was on TV.
They try to find him.
This is a fun way to spend a day.
And then they go through all the Jumbotron inside the stadium tapes.
And it also happened to be the night that Curb Your Enthusiasm was shooting at the baseball stadium in his section.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
What?
And so that ends up being his alibi.
And, like, Larry David's, you know, in the documentary talking about it.
Was it good?
Yeah, it was good.
That's amazing.
I want to watch that.
Yeah.
Very cool.
But that doesn't even get him off.
Like, they had to use other evidence as well.
Wow. But you got to see Larry David. Yeah, that's cool. But that doesn't even get them off. They had to use other evidence as well. Wow.
But you got to see Larry David.
Do you ever think about...
You're not...
But it was hard to tell if it was real Larry David
or Larry David the character
because he was wearing the Larry David character costume.
There was a tuba sound everywhere.
I often think when I'm alone for a stretch of time,
I'm like, boy, I got no alibi for anything.
Yeah.
Like if something goes down.
You think about that all the time?
Not all the time.
But sometimes when I'm by myself, I'm like, like it's been hours.
If I murder somebody.
Yeah.
Like nobody can account for my wear and tear for the last like four hours.
If I commit a crime, I'm going to have zero alibi.
Would watching Netflix continually, would that be an alibi?
Because sometimes it'll turn off and say, would you?
Are you still watching?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it won't if you're sitting there watching it.
Yeah.
How do you check?
Can it know if you, like if it's running, is that an alibi?
Can you like ping Netflix and say, oh, we have the records.
I'm here.
We have the records of this guy.
Or, yeah,
maybe you know how
some people put tape
over the camera
on their laptop
because the government's watching?
Does that count as an alibi?
Can the government
step in and be like,
he was at home.
He was jacking off.
He should put tape on his...
We have tape of him
jacking off
at this very moment.
Yeah, and then I have to decide,
like,
do I want to go to jail
or do I want my alibi?
Well, the thing about that is,
I, like, this computer right behind
us, I have thought
about doing that because like, even Mark Zuckerberg
does it. Like, I saw
something, you know, a picture of him at his
desk and he has it on
his laptop. He has
a tape over the camera. I hey and i say enjoy the show
but on the other hand i'm like it just screams i'm jacking off yeah yeah yeah it really does
what don't you want them to see and you know zuckerberg man oh boy he touches himself a lot
yeah yeah yeah he's into algorithms he's into logarithms yeah sure yeah he's into it. Yeah. He's into algorithms.
He's into logarithms.
Yeah,
sure.
Yeah.
He's into rhythm nation.
He's into Island rhythms.
So the other thing that is going on with me is like a couple months ago,
I've had my email account for, I don't know,
10 years.
Wavy Dave at hotmail.com.
Yeah. Wavy Dave 420. Not because I don't know, 10 years. WavyDave at Hotmail.com. Yeah.
WavyDave420.
Not because I'm into drugs, but there were
419 other WavyDaves.
And they
only recently
did I start getting spam.
And it's incessant and it's
like, it has not improved
since my first spam
experiences on my old email account.
It's still English as a second language.
It's still way too good to be true.
No one's like, you're the beneficiary.
You've been named as a beneficiary and you could get $3,500.
It's all like $11 million is waiting for you.
So would you click it i always click it you know
i do click it because yeah i hate having unread mail well 100 i hate it too but um yeah so it's
it's always i like who falls for it sometimes they do sometimes the phishing seems pretty
legitimate when they're like you know your password has been
tampered with or whatever like click on this thing yeah i also they wouldn't keep doing it
if it didn't work with like some regularity it definitely works i remember last time i was here
i was telling you about my cop friend or my brother maybe let's talk we're talking about
police officers i have a lot of police officers in my life and one of them was telling me a similar
story but just about how like, and unfortunately it
happens to be with the older generation because
they're not savvy with what's happening.
They didn't grow up with emails.
So they don't really know how to differentiate
between, you know, it's all new to them.
And like, I get it.
It makes me feel so sad.
And like their grandkids won't email them.
So.
Well, someone's emailing them.
They got to respond.
Well, exactly.
Yeah.
And they want 11 mil.
I know whenever it's going to be
like some like thing
where you just touch
the air and whatever,
that's somebody's
going to steal my bank.
Like two seconds.
I know it.
It's coming.
Yeah.
And there's a lot
that are like political
that are like,
Donald Trump is giving
you 11 million dollars.
You've been named
by Donald Trump.
Well, he's a real guy.
You should click on that.
Right?
Yeah.
And he's on the computer
a lot. Well, he is. real guy. You should click on that, right? Yeah. And he's on the computer a lot.
Well, he is.
Holy crap, is he?
Yeah.
My thing is not so much like bad spam, but I've just like, I guess at some point I went on a website, eBay, say.
And eBay emails me every day, three times a day, telling me that there's some deal.
And I was like, but what kind of website do you think you are, eBay?
Who do you think you are, eBay?
You're not somebody to offer deals.
You're an aggregate of people putting their junk online.
You don't give me 10% off.
Yeah, yeah.
The person who is bidding against me hopefully does.
Every day. off yeah yeah the person who is bidding against me hopefully does every day with it but like you know like i bought honestly the last time i bought something on ebay was probably like four
years ago i can't remember the last time i bought something off ebay i used to buy knockoff
sunglasses that never that didn't fold but they were like the big like like dolce gabbana sunglasses
that take over literally from your chin to your forehead, but they don't put the arms, so the arms
don't fold. It doesn't matter.
It does matter. I get a lot of emails
from stores that are like,
you put something in your cart, but you never bought
it. And I'm like, yeah.
I left it because I didn't want it.
I kind of wanted to see what shipping would
cost to Canada, and it's $80.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, boy. Oh boy.
Do you guys know anybody that has a mailbox in the States
that gets stuff shipped to it?
Oh, I know.
Do I know somebody who does that?
We used to do that.
You got to lean on that.
But, well, my brother lives in Seattle.
Oh, amazing.
Does he come up here a lot?
No.
Oh, cool.
Whoops.
Okay, next topic.
Sorry.
No, he used to.
And we used to visit them a lot, but it's like everyone now has kids that are like, his kids are like 10, so.
And your kids drink beer.
That's true.
Yeah, and so they can't take a shift driving.
But you go down to visit them and the kids all have like, you know, soccer and, you know, Girl Scouts and whatever going on all weekend.
But everything costs a million dollars as well.
Don't ever let your kids in dance, by the way.
Oh, really?
Do you know how much dance costs?
What?
Oh, my God.
It's just shoes.
It's just the body.
It's outfits.
It's outfits.
It's like the dazzle for hundreds of dollars.
I sew.
Do you?
Yeah.
So you think you'd make a nice dress?
Or whatever it may be.
Yeah, leotard, unitard, semi-tard.
What's your specialty?
Unitards.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm, I'm like, I, I, you know, majored in tards.
I get it.
Yeah.
I've heard of that.
In grade school.
But Abby did that for a while.
Yeah.
She used to make.
She made, no, she made dancing outfits.
Oh, no way.
And she like specialized in tutus.
Yeah.
Actually.
For real.
Wow.
For, for, they would do, you know, costumes for plays.
And then like someone who was in a dance contest would need, you know, my daughter's in this
dance contest, make her a tutu.
Oh my gosh.
That's amazing.
Well, she would know.
I just know that I dated somebody whose, whose nieces were in dance and it was like astronomical
like prices.
Yeah.
It's not like soccer or like, like hockey is probably pretty expensive because of the
equipment and stuff.
But like dance is like, I think it's even more.
It's insane.
I don't know what it is.
It's the fees and the clothes and the trips and like competitions everywhere.
Oh, yeah.
The competition.
That's really where they get you too.
Because then you're, then it's a hotel and it's a drive.
It's gas money.
You're taking other kids and you're inevitably playing for their asses to eat.
Oh, boy. Yeah, you're taking them all to're inevitably playing for their asses to eat oh boy
you're taking them
all to gay Arby's
you're all going
to gay Arby's
the thing
the weird thing
about hockey
especially is now
especially goalies
it's so expensive
for goalie equipment
that any professional
goalie now
is a rich kid
yeah
like it's all
someone who
what a cool club
to be a part of
yeah exactly that's a pretty cool
the rest of the team is flying in coach and only the goalie
thank you nice work i'll be performing that at the burn ward oh no oh no boy. Graham, what's up with you this Christmas time?
This Christmas time, last weekend, I went out to the Orpheum.
Oh.
It is having its 90th anniversary.
This was an event for the building?
For the building and for the society, what keeps it running.
Okay, so were all the people from the Orpheum Hall of Fame there? event for the building for for the building and for the society what keeps it running okay so
we're all the people from the the orpheum hall of fame there yeah yeah yeah victor borga victor
borga was there ravine bob hope was there uh phyllis diller was there uh nana muscuri nana
muscuri was there um uh chicken dinner was there he was a famous vaudeville comedian.
This time of year, by the way.
Yeah.
Nana Muscuri.
Hell of a Christmas album.
Oh, yeah.
So this, what they did, they had like, so I guess the Orpheum way back when, when they showed movies, it had like an organ that people would play along with the silent movies and they
have like one of the people or an organist uh yeah no just people from the general public give
it a try to see if you can make this thing work but uh the original organ is still there and it's
still got all its original parts you still have your original organ? Mm-hmm. And you got that third teat. Yes, I do. Thank you. Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
But I didn't know that existed in there.
Like, the pipes are all built into the wall.
And so it was like a lot of speeches.
I thought it was going to be more entertainment and less speeches.
Why did you?
This was a.
This was like an event that you buy tickets to.
Oh.
Yeah.
And so there was.
And you bought tickets?
Yeah, yeah.
Because I wanted to see, they had like a vaudeville troupe that did tap dancing.
When you said dancing was expensive, that was the first thing I thought of.
I was like, how much would tap juice cost?
Probably a lot.
Probably.
And then they brought out a guy who was like, this this organ's really old and we're giving it a certificate.
And I was like, ah, that's the most boring thing in the world.
Uh.
Did the organ give a speech?
Ba-da-da-da-da-da.
John.
But then they brought out this old lady who, and they showed her picture when she was, you know, in her twenties.
And she used to be the resident organist for when they played movies there.
Wow.
She was six years old when the theater opened.
Okay.
So she's 96 now.
She's 96.
Holy crap.
She was there?
Yeah.
They, she like.
What did she.
Delicately brought her out on stage.
Yeah.
And then we were like, what is going to happen?
And then they delicately like put her on the bench for the organ.
Was she...
Was she at a cane?
Two helpers. She was very
tiny, very frail.
96. Wow.
Sat down at the organ and played
so fast
and so well.
She played like a big medley
and it was so crazy. And. She played like a big medley and it was like,
it was so crazy.
And she's so tiny.
Maybe it's like an act.
Like she's pretending to be old.
Like in the Prestige.
Like that dancing guy
from the Six Flags commercial.
Oh, yeah.
That's insane.
Does Venga Bus ever show up?
No, no, no.
That route doesn't go there anymore.
Boy, this is a silly episode.
So then she finishes standing ovation, of course. no no no that route doesn't go there anymore boy this is a silly episode so so then
she finishes
standing ovation
of course
of course
and then they
bring out a guy
from I guess like
the
hall of fame
something
something hall of fame
maybe the
whatever
and he talks forever
and she's sitting
on the bench

Overheard's a segment in which we hear things out there,
and then we report them back here on the old podcast.
We always like to start with the guest.
Amy, if you would.
Okay, sure.
So my Overheard is from a long, long time ago,
and it's about, it's not really a long story,
but it's a pretty good story. So when I was in grade eight,
I didn't sort of transfer over from an elementary school.
Like all my friends went to a different high school and I went to this small little private-
Where are you from?
North Van.
Okay.
North Vancouver.
Yeah.
So I went to a tiny little private Catholic school.
This little lesbian went there.
That's a whole nother story, but anyhow.
This little lesbian of mine.
This little lesbian of mine.
So, I was sitting in the cafeteria by myself because I didn't know anybody.
I remember this very clearly.
And I was kind of sitting close to this girl who was talking to another girl.
And she was talking about how she had hooked up with this guy over the summertime, which is actually also kind of really uncomfortable because we were like 12 years old.
Tell me more.
Tell me more.
Like, did he have a horse?
Did he have a cold sore?
So, she's, like, talking to, like, this, and it was all so good.
She's one of my good friends now, so she kind of talks like this, and she has this very feminine voice.
And she was, like, yeah, so hooked up with, you know, so-and-so.
And we were, like, getting hot and heavy, and, and heavy and like it was really like having so much fun and we were like hitting all the bases and like all the stuff I'm sitting
there like you know oh my god what is this what amazing not moving eating my you know tuna sandwich
that my mom made me and so she's like and I just you know all of a sudden we were making out and
we were making out so hard and it was like you know, it's like, it's making out like so hard.
And all of a sudden my tooth fell out in his mouth.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I was like, like this part of the story, like it was so, you know, like early, early hot and horn.
And then all of a sudden her tooth fell out her fucking
tooth falls out in his mouth because i didn't have any vitamin c all summer i'm not feeling very well
so her tooth falls out in his mouth and i guess it was like well what did you do and she said that
the girl was like oh my god what did you do she's like i said hey give me
that back so she took it back and they continued to make out and i swallowed it no he didn't think
god but he was like basically choked on it like essentially and then she said and that girl's one
of my good friends and she would take out she would play it was a front tooth that she had
moved it was an adult tooth so she would take it out to make me laugh sometimes.
It was one of her front two teeth.
Oh my God.
I had a friend who had one that was, I guess when she had a retainer, maybe it was a he,
I forget.
I only remember the retainer.
Right.
But the tooth was stuck in the retainer, like just because they wouldn't buy it, like while
we're having your teeth straightened.
We'll figure out this other tooth later.
Yeah, totally.
But they would keep it in there and take out the retainer and there'd be teeth on it
yeah i had a friend like that in college who had that who had three teeth but he was like
actually i probably shouldn't talk about this but like i didn't care like it didn't make me
think anything less like whatever you're just everybody has different things with their bodies
and whatever but he was so embarrassed by it but he used to play with it he would take it in and
out with his tongue and like play with it during class
and I'd be like,
I can see that you're fucking,
some of your teeth
are on that retainer
and it's cool
and he would be like,
no, no, no.
No, I don't.
They're not.
They're really in there
but anyways.
I just wanted him to tell the truth.
It's all good.
He was semi-shamed.
He was semi-shamed
but he would play with it.
Anyways.
Okay, so like,
my worry was that
like this is young making out
I don't know when you lose your last tooth
Oh no no no
It was like a tooth
I think it had been knocked out
As a child and maybe
I don't really know how that
Science goes through teeth
Oh so there wasn't blood
It was
No sorry
It was a falsie
Sorry I should back up
It was a falsie
That wasn't
That she could take in and out
Right
So it hadn't been permanently
whatever that was. Because in my head,
they kept making out both with
their mouths covered in blood.
It was extra wet.
It was extra sloppy.
If you're 12, you're making out
for the first time, you don't know what to do.
Are you supposed to bleed in my mouth?
I've heard there's a girl thing
with bleeding. I don't know what it is.
Did I do something wrong or something very, very right?
I can't see her smiling if we're making out.
It's fine.
Split it aside and keep going.
Why so serious?
I really, like, the first time that I made out with a girl,
I really had no idea what I was doing.
I was going 100% just on what I had seen in movies.
It's awful.
Yeah.
No way in hell anybody has a first, I remember my first kiss.
It was disgusting.
And they show it in movies for like five seconds.
Yeah.
You have to keep kissing this person.
Yeah.
And.
Yeah.
I don't know if I'm any good at it now.
No.
Neither do I. There's no way to any good at it now. No. Neither do I.
There's no way to know.
You can't.
Yeah.
Because the people who are reviewing you are often people who are, they'll embellish if you're bad.
They'll say, yeah, no, it's great.
Or they'll tell everyone how bad you are.
Oh, yeah.
My reputation as a smooching bandit.
It's a good smoocher.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He moves his tongue around.
What's he supposed to do?
Yeah.
No, it's supposed to just lie there.
One of you sticks out your tongue,
and the other one just rests their tongue on top of it.
But do you know what I did once?
What?
Oh, God.
All right, let me just tell you.
One time.
We didn't say anything.
I did a lot of men in my Catholic private school days.
Sure.
One of the guys I was dating.
AJ, Howie, Kevin.
Yeah.
Nick.
The other one.
Yeah.
Brian B. Rock Littrell.
Mm-hmm.
This guy named Alvaro, actually.
He was Spanish.
And I was so nervous.
And at this time, I was like,
framing myself as it was fine.
It was all good.
And I- It's fine now. Right. Okay. No, I framing myself. It was fine. It was all good. It's fine now.
Right.
Okay.
No, I appreciate it.
Everyone can do whatever they want.
Right.
I'm sorry.
Yes, absolutely.
Your teeth can fall.
It doesn't matter.
So I was kind of nervous.
And we were just not on the same page.
It was really him.
But also, I was a little bit nervous.
And at one point, he opened his mouth so wide.
And we were both that I kissed inside of his mouth.
I went, his mouth was open.
I just went, just fucking kissed in his mouth.
And you heard the echo come back.
And then I had to be like, okay, I gotta go.
I gotta go.
Rehinge your jaw, Alvaro.
I just kissed into the abyss.
Yeah.
It was very weird.
Anyhow, that's my, that abyss. Yeah, it was very weird. Anyhow, that's me.
Yeah, yeah.
There's no instruction manual.
Well, maybe there is, but I didn't read it.
No.
I just winged it.
I winged it on the night.
I don't know how to do it.
What the hell is kissing anyways?
You rub your tongue.
Who the hell made up?
Who made up kissing?
Well, the tongue thing, I'll tell you.
The French.
Oh, right.
Absolutely.
Well, fair enough. And the nose thing. That was the the french no right absolutely well fair enough and
the nose thing oh that was the inuit yeah yeah yeah okay thank you sorry i've got a stupid question

Yeah.
We keep
pluralizing things.
She didn't know

an earpiece in

and then just kind of walking around the
produce aisle and picked up a cucumber

this is a truthful podcast yeah one of my partners I went to a partner of mine. Wow, I'm having a few partners myself. This is a truthful podcast.
One of my partners, I went to one of their work events, and they had free cocktails.
And they were having, this is a really stupid story, but they had a cucumber, a cuke drink that was free.
And it was so free.
It was just the cuke alone made it so refreshing.
It was so good.
Yeah, yeah.
I like it in a gin and soda.
Are you guys cocktail drinkers? Yeah. Do's so good. Yeah, yeah. I like it in a gin and soda. Are you guys cocktail drinkers?
Yeah.
Do you make cocktails?
I, like I don't measure things out.
Right.
But do you, like at home, would you make like a nice cocktail for yourself?
Yeah.
Yeah?
I'm not, but I like to, I like to order them, some of them, but I've never made one for myself at home.
I drink beer at home.
What's your go-to?
Like a cocktail?
Like if you're ordering a cocktail, yeah.
I like a whiskey sour. Oh yeah. Yeah. I like the egg white. Oh yeah. Yeah. I've beer at home. What's your go-to? Like a cocktail? Like if you're ordering a cocktail, yeah. I like a whiskey sour.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I like the egg white.
Oh, yeah.
Like that, yeah.
I've never had one.
Ooh.
Freaky, if that freaky egg white.
Ooh.
Yeah.
I used to, I made a thing for Earl's once.
Oh, yes.
I think I remember you telling me about that.
And they, I had to go to talk to their head bartender, and he taught me how to make an old-fashioned the way they make it.
Cool.
And I got all the same ingredients that they use, and I'll do that from time to time.
It's like getting a personal trainer, and then you just know the exercises.
Yeah.
Cocktail trainer.
Yeah.
Really good.
Cock trainer.
No, sorry.
No, you were right.
And Graham, your drink of choice?
Oh, I'm just, you know, just a simple.
Straight up whiskey.
Yeah, just a whiskey on the rock.
Really?
Real simple.
Can't do it.
Somebody at this, I was at this office recently and they were like, come on.
It was an old boys club, whatever.
It was cool.
And they were like, stay for a cup of whiskey.
And I was like, oh fuck.
Okay.
It was like one of those things that like I couldn't leave.
And so I had to drink for me and no offense,
like we're all just different palates.
It was really hard for me.
Yeah.
No offense,
Graham.
No offense,
Graham,
but what the hell?
You know,
what's weird is I went to a place once that gave,
uh,
instead of ice,
they put the cold stones,
like whiskey.
Like the Dreamery?
Yeah, cold stones, and they poured whiskey all over it.
How'd it go?
Then they put score bar in it.
Yeah.
And I really didn't like it.
I really like having the water slowly kind of mix with the whiskey.
I remember when I was like 22, 23, a bunch of my friends were like,
we're going to go to a bar,
but first let's go to so-and-so's apartment.
Hey, you want a whiskey?
And it was the worst.
I was like, are you guys pretending you like this?
We were teenagers a moment ago.
Don't you remember getting shit mixes?
My friend Ava, my best friend Ava,
we would go to her house
because my parents didn't have a lot of alcohol.
My dad doesn't drink and my mom drank wine and like we weren't into wine.
Right.
My friend Ava, her parents had this full liquor cabinet and full, like always had everything.
So we'd get water bottles and like, I know this is like everybody's story, but like,
or can you relate?
It should be my question.
We would pour everything and down it.
I didn't drink any alcohol until I was of age.
Oh, really? everything and down it i didn't drink any alcohol until i was of age oh really and so i never i i
like only ever like experimented by asking for you know asking a bartender make me something fun and
fruity i drank dave's share as well as my own yeah leading up to legal age you drank a lot
oh did you so i feel like i did too yeah at least every weekend yeah
yeah yeah yeah in like grade like 10 11 10 11 12 yeah yeah and uh yeah the swamp mix we call it
yeah yeah yeah it was disgusting it was disgusting and then once in a while somebody would get
something that their parents had got as like a retirement gift or some like weird beverage,
like,
like creme de banana or whatever.
And you're like,
I guess we're just going to like,
what were their parents retiring from?
They were given creme de banana.
From the Chiquita Banana Plant.
It was the biggest employer in Calgary.
Oh boy.
So we got you.
My mom used to work at the Pedialyte factory.
So rum and Pedialytes for everyone.
Graham, do you have an overheard?
Mine is an overheard, overseen.
It was a real moment myself and a cashier had.
I was at the dollar store, and i was standing behind a woman
who was buying now this like this dollar store everything in there real reasonably priced
okay go on that's what i love about it the dollar store like that refers to the currency yeah yeah
yeah yeah that's what they accept let's cross the street from the Bitcoin store. Oh, boy. And the lady in front of me was buying a pack of batteries.
The total came to like $1.70.
And then she was like, the last time I was here was $1.54.
And I was like, oh, brother.
You're going to be there for a while.
Yeah, yeah.
And then the cashier goes, oh oh it's a new tax on batteries
it's like a cent or two cents per battery or whatever it was and then the woman just stares
at her and i was like she's not gonna change the price if you just make this difficult and then she
communicates with her friend who's standing on the other side and now they're talking back and
forth about the price of this battery and uh i looked up
at the ceiling like well what have i done yeah what have i done to someone rapture me and when
i looked down the cashier was laughing because she caught me in the moment of like oh good grief
so yeah we made eyes it was it was a, it was a nice cathartic moment.
Yeah.
That, I mean, it sucks that, like, 16 cents makes a difference for that person.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
But also, like, I've never bought batteries and thought I wasn't overpaying.
Like, every time I buy batteries, I'm like, is this a good place to buy batteries?
They're so expensive.
Am I getting
raked over the coals here?
The number of batteries that were in the package
for it to be under $2
was insane.
Really? Yeah, like
the fact that she wasn't going in to be like
this made my product explode.
Yeah.
These are wet.
Why are your batteries so wet?
And it was literally within like cents.
It was like 20 cents cheaper previously.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, God.
And, you know, it was like, I don't know.
I don't know what she thought the cashier was going to do.
Yeah, like, okay, well, we'll honor that today.
It's the dollar store.
We'll make it a little cheaper for you here at the dollar store.
Our policy is nostalgia.
If you can remember a better price, we will match it.
We'll match it.
You can remember.
I love it.
Get back in that memory bank.
Yeah, so it's just like, I don't know.
And I mean, you know what?
I think with batteries, it's maybe you get what you pay for.
Think if you're buying 16 batteries for under $2.
They're not going to be great.
Totally.
And you know what else is cool about that story?
How about like stranger connections?
Yeah.
I love that you had that moment.
I always love that.
Don't you love when you connect with a stranger even just for a second?
Like last night, I went to that Mexican restaurant when I picked up my shrimp tacos.
And this guy and I was like, it's like a shit show parking lot it's terrible like oh my god and so i'm waiting i'm kind of hating this car i'm hating this car and then finally
this car puts on his four ways and just stops and i'm mad at him but then we end up crossing
pass and at the same time but we both go holy holy shit, what a shit show. Had a laugh and a high five and then a leave.
And it was kind of like, I love a little stranger connection.
You know?
We're all the same.
We're just bags of garbage.
We're all just bags of garbage.
With dingleberries.
Yeah, well, you don't show them unless you have to.
Now, we also have overheards sent in.
If you want to send us in an overheard, you can send it in to spy at maximumfund.org.
This first one comes from Julie C.
Julie.
I'm at the National Council of Teachers of English Conference.
Couldn't there be a...
Like, that sounds like it was come up with by an English as a Second Language student.
In St. Louis, and our convention center has been taken over by a gaggle of tiny
cheerleaders who are wearing more makeup than i've ever owned in my lifetime uh while i was sitting
and doing some grading a group of cheer parents put their stuff on the table i'm at and i watched
a woman pour a can of pepsi into her coffee mug and then top top that coffee mug full of pepsi off
with an impressive amount of airplane
bottles of vodka.
Oh, wow.
The man she was with said, isn't it a little early for that, Dawn?
To which he replied, it's five o'clock somewhere, and took a big loud sip.
It was 9 a.m.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
Eight time zones away.
I mean, if you're a cheer parent, you're hearing a lot of, yeah, and there's too much.
I think if I was a cheer parent, I would be shit-faced all the time.
I bet you that's expensive.
Especially on a day when you're like, we're at a convention center.
I don't have to drive today.
Oh, no.
I got a long time till I have to drive the kids home.
I got a whole day's worth of this.
We're staying at the hotel across the street.
Oh, yeah. I'm going to get blitzed. I'm going to get blitzed while the kids home. I got a whole day's worth of this. We're staying at the hotel across the street. Oh, yeah.
I'm going to get blitzed.
I'm going to get blitzed
while the kids go in the sauna.
That would explain
some of the parents
when I was a kid
and I had to go to my brother's
lacrosse tournament.
It was always drunk parents.
Yeah.
And I was like,
but they don't even serve alcohol here.
So there was people that must have been drinking in the bar across the street and then coming over.
Yeah, a lot of friends who had functioning alcoholic parents, for sure.
But we just thought they were cool.
Like we could drink at their house.
I prefer you drink here.
Yeah, it's cool.
I do think it's cool.
Like they're functioning.
I mean, everything's okay.
Yeah.
They're having a nice time.
They're riding that line, but you know.
Ah.
You know.
They're still good parents.
They were still good parents, I should say.
Keeping it crispy.
Yeah, keeping it crispy.
That's cool.
That's very cool.
I came over there.
Yeah, loving it.
I read it in a book.
Hey, right on.
This next one comes from Patrick K. from Chicago, Illinois.
A friend of mine was trying to cite Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous quotation,
a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
And he must have gotten tongue-tied or just confused because he instead declared,
in all sincerity, variety is the god of all graham crackers.
What?
Hang on.
Hold up.
Come again?
We were talking about hobgoblins last week.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin.
We don't know what a hobgoblin is.
It's a variation on a goblin.
Okay.
Yeah, and we think a goblin is probably kind of a ghosty guy with four legs.
Yeah, no, no, no.
Two legs and two hands.
Yeah, two.
Like he's a humanoid.
Right.
Some kind of horns and like. Okay, yeah. What do you think a goblin is? A goblin. Yeah. No, no, no. Two legs and two hands. Yeah, do it. Like he's a humanoid. Right. Some kind of horns and like.
Okay, yeah.
What do you think a goblin is?
A goblin?
Yeah.
Like a scary, like maybe he's like a little overweight, like wet and like has a big tongue
and like little arms and hands probably.
Yeah, probably.
Is that right?
Probably right.
He's wet.
He's overweight and wet with a big tongue.
He has a big tongue. Am I right though? You are right. He's wet. He's overweight and wet with a big tongue. He has a big tongue.
Am I right now?
Am I close?
Okay.
He's overweight.
He's wet.
I think that should be a thing we do on the show.
Every week we ask,
what do you think a goblin is?
That's a good question.
It is.
It unifies us all.
It's one of those,
it's one of those like,
Proust questionnaire things
what's your favorite curse word
and what's a goblin
when are you happiest
what's a goblin
this last one comes from
Chuck O
in New York City
one of my
one of the kids playgrounds
at Central Park
with my one year old
and I overheard a dad
with his probably
three to four year old son
next to us.
This is so this is back and forth between the dad and the boy.
Dad, how do you get that mark on your face?
That boy over there hit me.
Why did he hit you?
Because I was blocking the tunnel.
I'm going to go teach him a lesson.
No, only his mommy or daddy can teach him a lesson.
We don't teach other people lessons.
Only mommies and daddies.
Now the boy quieter and clenching his fist.
I'm going to teach him a lesson.
The dad, what did I just say, Jackson?
We don't do that.
And then the boy just mouthing the word this time.
A lesson.
I love it.
He needed to teach that kid a lesson. He's going to teach that kid a lesson. He. I love it. He needed to teach
that kid a lesson.
He's going to teach
that kid a lesson.
He held true to it.
That kid need to get taught.
And that was
the tiny teacher.
And he knew it.
He knew his role.
Classes and sessions.
Listen, some kids
know their roles
and he knew it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a boy
in Margo's preschool
who sometimes pushes her.
Oh, I don't like this boy.
And at first i was like
like and she would tell me and i would i'm powerless i'm like i'm like yes please tell me
yeah i can't always do something about it but just so you know that's bad and he's bad
and then abby was like you really shouldn't be telling her that other people are bad. And I'm like, okay.
So I've eventually over a few weeks of, and what's new with this boy this week?
Did he push you?
No.
Oh, well, he's slowly learning to be nicer.
Yeah.
Like maybe he hasn't learned to be nice yet.
Well, if you haven't learned it, if you've learned anything from this story, you should be telling her to teach him a lesson.
Teach him a lesson.
He's bigger though.
Oh,
shit.
Okay,
no,
back off.
Yeah,
but she's probably faster.
But I,
I do,
I am a believer that,
you know,
it's okay for a girl
to hit a guy.
Yeah,
I mean,
I'm okay with that.
If a guy takes your toy,
push him and take it back.
Smash him.
Like,
you will be facing this your whole life of guys thinking they can do whatever they want.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Push back.
Yeah, start early.
Margo looks very strong, too.
She also has looks that could kill her.
Yeah, she's got my face.
Yes, she has your face.
You both make me equally uncomfortable.
Yeah, she's a little cuter, but whoops, there it is.
You're doing it right now.
Whoops, there it is.
Now, Dave.
Yeah, we have over, I just want to say, if anyone wants to send in like a theme song for what is a goblin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, please.
Send it to spyatmaximumfun.org.
is a goblin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Please.
Send it to spyatmaximumfund.org We probably won't
get it until the new year
because of our shedge.
Yeah, yeah. But, in addition
to overheards that are
written in, we also accept your phone
calls if you want to call us.
Look, just do it.
Guys, push your way
through, be a meanie,
and dial those numbers.
It's 1-844-779-7631 or 1-BIPOD1 like these people have.
Hey, Dave Graham and possible guests.
This is Nick in Minneapolis. I was riding the bus that had been decorated with a bunch of Christmas lights under a bridge.
The bus driver stopped, turned the lights out.
There was just the Christmas lights shining and said, ooh, ah.
Well, off I go.
So he was trying to get people to get into the Christmas spirit on the bus.
Yeah, that's where Christmas spirit goes to die, my friend.
On the bus?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's no brotherhood of man.
There's no harmony.
There's no, you know.
Bless humbug.
Yeah, bless humbug.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It is a tough ride no matter what time of year.
Sometimes they put the Rudolph nose in front of the bus.
That's true.
That's nice.
And then it'll say Happy Holidays.
Happy Holidays.
Happy Holidays.
Happy Holidays.
Happy Holidays.
Happy Holidays.
Whoopsies.
That was nice.
Here's the next one.
Hi Dave and Graham and wonderful guest.
This is Hillary calling from Massachusetts and I'm calling with an overseen.
Hi.
So at my gym, the building is made of brick, and at the front of the building,
you can see that there used to be some sort of graffiti drawn on the building
that somebody has done a really good job of scraping off.
So you can't really tell what it said, but the gutters above the gym
have broken and the brick got all wet.
And now you can see what the graffiti used to say, and it says, Julie Gable is a slam
pig.
Love the show, guys.
Thanks.
Hang on.
Is a slam pig?
What's a slam pig?
I don't know, but I'm going to call somebody that the next chance I get.
Those are on the cutting edge of insults.
Of cool slang.
Slam pig.
Julie Gables is a slam pig.
Something like that.
Slam pig.
Who is Julie Gables?
She's a slam pig.
Don't talk to her.
Sorry, all right.
You say that name one more time.
You're a slam pig.
Okay, okay, okay. I really like slam one more time. You're a slam pig.
I really like slam pig a lot.
I like it a lot.
I don't know why I like it.
I just like it.
It's just that I haven't heard.
I haven't heard slam pig. You hear it, fool.
You're thinking, oh, this person's going to be a slut.
She's a slam pig.
She's a slam pig.
I like that a female called that in and she liked it.
I don't know.
I just really like that.
I feel like I would like that. Maybe it's a slam pig. I like that a female called that in and she liked it. I don't know. I just really like that. I feel like I would like that.
Maybe it's a good thing.
Yeah, maybe being a slam pig is all right.
Maybe she hogs all the basketball dunks.
She slam dunks.
She's a pig about it.
Yeah, she doesn't share the ball.
She just wants to slam us.
She's hungry for slamming dunks.
You know, in Charlotte's Web.
No, I haven't seen it yet.
The spider would write some pig.
Like this is some pig.
So maybe it was just some, maybe they were trying to save a pig by saying this is a slam pig.
Or maybe they were trying to say some pig, but they didn't, the L sort of, when they rubbed it out.
You can't see clearly.
Yeah, that's true.
How did I miss Charlotte's Web?
You didn't have to read it.
Didn't have to read it.
Never saw the movie.
When McDonald's was giving away the movies.
Real contradiction there, McDonald's giving away Charlotte's Web.
Because it's about saving a pig from slaughter.
Oh.
Well, they don't do a lot of pig work at McDonald's.
Put bacon on things?
Not back then. Oh. I don't know. I don't do a lot of pig work at McDonald's. Put bacon on things? Well, not back then.
I don't know.
They had Waynesworld.
They had Adam's Family.
They had Ghost.
And they had Charlotte's Web.
But that was before the Bacon Revolution.
And I don't think that was happening at a McRib time.
Here's your final overheard.
Hi, Dave Graham and majestically beautiful guest.
This is James from Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.
And I'm calling with an overheard.
My partner and I were walking down the street.
And there is a man and a woman standing in front of a parking building.
And they just rang the buzzer.
And then the woman yells into the intercom,
I massaged your butt yesterday.
Come on.
Come on, let me in.
You remember, right?
Didn't that mean anything to you?
Because, like, this person isn't answering?
Or, like, they said, no, you're not coming in?
Yeah, they think it was, no, you're not coming in. Yeah. I think it was, no, you're not coming.
Come on.
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll massage your butt.
I rub down your tuchus.
I mean, she's got a good point.
Let her in.
Yeah.
Not a lot of people like to touch butt.
No.
Let alone massage it.
I think a lot of people like to touch butt.
Well, all right.
They like to grab it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then they don't, people don't stay long enough to do the work.
Massage.
Do you massage a partner?
Yeah.
My hands hurt.
I'm too tired.
Look, I'm not good at it.
But then when we were doing prenatal classes or prenatal yoga, they were like, if you want to really massage, you use the heel of your hand.
And I was always been, you know, pinching.
Right.
Squeeze the edges. Little pinching yeah right squeeze yeah just little pinching real lobster massage yeah little tiny pinches anyway yeah anyways
no massaging you know what massaging your partner is good massaging strangers bad
massaging friends but like could be good a stranger like a i, maybe you're just meeting the stranger for the first time.
You can massage them.
I mean.
If you both came here for a massage.
If you're having like a stranger moment.
Uh-huh.
Like we were talking about earlier.

Really?
Professionally?
I've never received a massage.
Would you not like to or it just never came up?
