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 549 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who met a blind man who taught him how to see.
He met a blind man who could change night into day.
Mr. Dave Shubka.
These are the immortal words of Stevan Tyler.
Stevan Tyler.
Steven Tyler.
This is,
did Aerosmith still make albums?
Yeah,
but they make like,
they do that weird thing that these old rock bands do where they're like,
here's a blues album that nobody makes. Oh yeah,
yeah.
No one's going to buy,
no one buys albums anyway.
So let's do,
let's do what we feel like doing.
Yeah.
But that might have been like their last.
I mean, was that post Don't Want to Miss a Thing?
Yes.
Blind Man.
So we were singing this before the show for some reason.
I don't know why, but it's good.
Yeah, it's one of the more offensive music videos that doesn't have nudity in it, I think.
Yeah, yeah.
Because it's just a lot of people pretending to be blind.
And we're saying it's one in a long line of tradition of rock singers singing about experiences they obviously never had yeah like
i met a blind man who taught me how to see or like i went to the doctor and i said like gucci gucci
like like uh oh baby baby the doctor told me something you know And I told the witch doctor. Yeah.
No, this was 1994.
Oh, wow.
This was the follow-up single to Crazy.
Oh, wow.
That must have been a real drop-off for them.
Despite the song's moderate success, the band hardly ever performed it live
after the Get a Grip tour.
Despite that moderate success.
Oh.
Is that Wikipedia?
Yes.
This is from the great Wikipedia.
Oh, in 2009
the drummer admitted that
it's his least favorite video.
He's what was his name
something Kramer
Joey Kramer
Joey Kramer
he was the basis of
the
character Kramer
yeah I remember that
do you want to run out of
steam in the middle
yeah sure
do you
speaking of things
that never
like song lyrics that are apocryphal,
I thought it might, it was very stormy yesterday,
and I thought I heard some thunder, and I thought of that song,
because the Fleetwood Mac song that's like,
Thunder only happens when it's raining.
That's not true.
No, that's not true.
Thunder can happen, that's not true. Thunder can happen.
Rain or no rain.
And what's the next?
Is something about players?
Players only love you when they're playing.
No, and players love you
all the time.
They still can experience love.
Yeah, I've watched
that Hockey Wives show.
Those players love their wives
when the game is not happening.
Now, was that show
that similar in tone to the Real Housewives?
Are they bitchy?
No way.
You know what?
It's a lot less bitchy because they're Canadian and they're...
Okay.
And their husbands have to, like, face each other.
So there's, like, a professional element.
Yeah.
Right now, there's a TV preview element. Yeah. The, uh,
right now there's a,
uh,
a TV preview of the channel slice.
Yeah.
That's where the hockey wives is on.
Yeah.
And it's all,
it's either a real estate show or a housewife variant.
And now there's like probably 12 of them or something.
Yeah.
And,
uh,
it's like the apostles,
the 12 housewives.
Um, we should say we don't have a guest today.
No, we do.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
Invisible?
Is it Invisible?
Yeah.
Invisible.
Put that away.
Yeah, that's gross.
Yeah.
Zip that up.
Or button it up.
Oh, God.
Oh, Invisible.
I'm sorry.
He's not invisible sound-wise, only visually.
Yeah, but he doesn't have a lot to say.
But he'll pipe up from time to time.
Is it?
Should we get to know us?
Yeah.
Get to know us.
What's a song lyric about someone who didn't have a lot to say
oh i don't know it was like that one about drink his wine that's another one of those
oh yeah you never knew a bullfrog named jeremiah
yeah it's uh it's like a dumb i don't, I always just think of that scene in the Metallica documentary where he goes, my lifestyle dictates my death style.
And they all go like, yeah.
Yeah, very good.
And that's the end of the road of conversation about the lyric.
Yeah.
It's like, and then they have, if it's a hit, they have to sing that lyric for 20 years.
Yeah, well, I was, this summer we had some great fruit i had some peaches and i
was thinking of the song peaches yeah by presidents of the united states of america yeah moving to the
country gonna eat a lot of peaches yep they were put there in a can the peaches come from a can
they were put there by a man in a factory downtown then why are you moving to the country? And since when
are there factories downtown?
Yeah.
The whole point of the country is to get the...
You would think it would be fresh peaches.
Fresh peaches, yeah.
And also in that song where the guy says,
I want to feel your peaches
or whatever and shake your tree.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Is that a butt that he's talking about?
What is he talking about?
Is that the Joker?
Yeah.
But it's butt cheeks?
Some people call me Space Cowboy.
You're the sweetest thing I ever did see.
Really love your peaches.
Want to shake your tree.
Yeah.
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time.
Ooey, baby.
Let me show you good time.
So I just don't like that song was on the radio the other
day and i had always assumed that a peach was a stand-in for uh but or a vagina oh yeah well
okay yeah and that's what i thought he was talking because isn't there like another
no that's a lemon but the pit uh what's a lemon uh there's a lemon you know squeeze my lemon or something
till the juices run down my leg that's like a lead sapling oh god
yeah and i mean the lemon in that and then it's like your dick's a lemon
and even by squeezing it yeah is it like when that like when that YouTube channel that's just when they put fruit in a hydraulic press?
Like he looked at his own dick and was like, lemon.
That's like the closest fruit I can think of.
Yeah, what's the juiciest fruit?
Why is it so juicy?
Yeah.
Oh, you'll find out.
Squeeze it.
Just squeeze it?
And where does it come out?
Everywhere.
Yeah.
It's a song about
peeing yourself.
Well, cut it in half
and then squeeze it.
And put a little bit
in your vodka soda.
And like, you know, that guy's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Yeah, under lyrics.
Would you ever visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
It's in Cleveland?
Yeah.
Yeah, I would.
On what day of your trip to Cleveland?
Your seven-day trip to Cleveland.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, I would recreate frame by frame
the Cleveland Rocks opening of Drew Carey.
Of Drew Carey, sure.
Uh oh.
What else is in,
go to Buddy Holly's house?
Was he from Cleveland?
He was from Lubbock, Texas.
Damn it.
He and Dr. Pepper are from the same town.
Really?
Yep.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I guess, like, you probably just go through it really quick,
because there's just, like, pictures of them,
maybe, like, a jacket or something from.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The jacket from Take Off Your Pants and Jacket,
the Blink-182 album.
They're going to probably be in the Hall of Fame.
Oh, sure.
When did they?
I think it's 25 years after your first album that you are eligible.
And then isn't there like.
But they haven't been eligible, but they've always been incorrigible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I really like their last album they put out because it was kind of like, hey, we're all dads now.
We're all grown up.
We still like to rock we still but we
don't like to rock about silly things anymore yeah we're at old men it's weird to like do you
i listen to albums and i really like albums still and but i don't then i find they don't
stick with me as well like i will forget all the albums i loved a year ago yeah how many here's a question
how many in a year like how many albums do you like listen to like over and over and like actually
get into maybe maybe like 20 wow like uh yeah i like a lot of albums but but like is that a lot
i don't know like i use like i don't know when i worked at cbc it seems like a lot of albums. Yeah. But like, is that a lot? I don't know.
I don't know.
When I worked at CBC.
It seems like a lot to me.
People would be encyclopedias of music.
Yeah.
And I just can't, like how can you love an album that much,
but you can't give it that much time if you love so many albums.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
But you're right.
There's definitely these like music fans that make me feel like I don't, that much time if you love so many albums you know what i mean yeah yeah but you're right there's
definitely these like music fans that make me feel like uh i don't understand music oh yeah
uh like they've they've listened to the album by the person who inspired you know the guy who
inspired the guy and you're like. I like that new Kanye album.
Steve Miller's greatest hits is.
Got a lot of hits on it from 74 to 78.
It really does.
Yeah.
But it's.
Somebody like shamed me in high school for owning greatest hits albums.
Yeah.
Like somebody was like what are you
doing that for and i was this was before you could just listen to every song in the universe at will
so i was like well i just want the good i don't want blind man i just want crazy uh
blind man's probably on their greatest hits probably but like yeah no it's it's
yeah but now as it made sense when i was a teenager and i was like i've heard about the
cars yeah i would like to hear all their great songs yeah i like the three songs i've heard
let's hear them all yeah but now as an adult i like, I've heard every song that's on a greatest hits album way too long,
way too much anyway.
That's true.
Yeah.
And then like,
but sometimes I'll like,
I'll like a band,
but I'll like three of the,
like three of their songs.
And I'll just pick a random album.
I'm like,
I'm going to listen to this album.
I'm like,
I hate this.
Like,
I really only like those three songs.
Yeah. It's hard to be like, oh, okay.
Well, what were you feeling in 1988 when this album came out?
Like, oh, boy.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, like, it's weird that there's people my age, our age,
who are like, you know, discovered Bruce Springsteen late in life
and can get into all of it.
Yeah.
I,
uh,
I went on a date with a girl once.
He was like,
so into Bruce Springsteen to the point that it was like,
oh,
well,
like,
uh,
yeah,
you're going to be disappointed with,
with me.
It's a,
this guy's a blue collar hero.
Uh,
you know,
he said,
where's a real, a real nice pair of jeans.
You know, his album cover is his butt.
Yep.
Like, he's got quite a...
Quite a platoon on that guy.
He's got a real set of peaches there.
Yeah, I'd love to shake that tree.
Whereas Steve Miller, I couldn't pick his butt out of a lineup.
Nope, no.
Out of a peach basket
but uh yeah like um i don't know i would do i want to like do that i want to discover
uh somebody's discography but i don't i don't feel like i have the time and then i always
want to hear a song that i already know I like. Yeah, yeah.
Getting to know a new song.
It's getting harder and harder.
Yeah.
I mean, I like a song, sure.
Yeah.
But then like, yeah, but you're right. Like the songs that you know, you've heard them.
Like how many more times am I going to uh whatever song by the rolling stones like any song
by the rolling stones how many more times in my life am i gonna hear start me up like involuntarily
it'll just be around i won't put it on sure but like you're in boston pizza
it's always in the store the game yeah you the game. You've just won the softball championship.
Yes, absolutely.
You ladybugged your way onto an all-women's team.
That's right.
And then I took a ball in the face in the last inning,
and they declared the game had to be postponed because there was so much blood.
And you're like, all right, ladies.
I mean, we bleed and we keep going.
Am I right?
That would be a line for one of those movies.
Yeah.
They don't make as many of those.
They don't make them like they used to.
They don't make films like that as much anymore.
Where someone pretends to be a different sex.
Yeah, a different sex.
Or race.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
it's,
maybe it's a genre film
that's better left
deceased.
Yeah,
I think,
I mean,
the only race one
I can think of,
I mean,
there were,
I guess,
it's hard,
like,
where being a different race
is part of the plot as opposed to, like, Mickey Rooney just being Asian for no reason.
I watched this weird, well, because the thing that I thought of was a John Candy movie, Who's Harry Crumb?
This is a very, like, crude humor.
And at one point he is playing a,
maybe an Indian guy or something.
It's fair.
It doesn't,
it didn't age.
Is it more offensive than blind man,
the music video?
It's tough to say.
I mean,
as,
and like,
even I think when they did it,
people on set must've been like,
this doesn't feel,
this doesn't feel good.
I remember when I was a kid,
there were two movies that grown-ups always told me I would love.
And one was the Naked Gun movies.
Yeah.
And they were right.
Ding, ding, ding.
Or the first one, anyway.
No one had to convince me to see the second one.
And then The Party.
Yeah.
I never saw The Party,
mostly because I was like, this is from, this predates comedy.
Like, just from the look of this, I don't.
Yeah.
And it's, like, I've also never seen it.
But it's, Peter Sellers does a bunch of characters from different races.
Yeah.
I mean, from the trailer i've seen and it was the
same thing as like maybe uh like an adult was like oh you like comedy you must love the party
starring peter sellers and then i was like who's that and they're like the pink panther and then
i just know that as a cartoon yeah yeah i was like yeah i get it he's funny yeah i remember the uh at the beginning of pink
panther cartoons it was so rare for pink panther to be on when i was a kid you could never knew
when pink panther would come on like sure you know bugs bunny would be on every day yeah and
once in a while you tom and jerry yeah sure yeah and then but sometimes and it would always start
with that united artists logo with the U that turns into the A.
Yeah.
And anytime I would see that logo, I'd be like, oh, come on, Pink Panther, Pink Panther, Pink Panther.
Nope.
And like, what was the Pink Panther's character?
I couldn't tell you.
Yeah.
He was cool.
He smoked.
I'm thinking of Joe Camel.
Did they ever do a Joe Camel cartoon?
Oh man
If they did I would have watched it as a kid
I remember being like
Seeing that on the back of a magazine
This speaks
When's the season premiere of Joe Camel?
He's driving a car?
He's got a human girlfriend
And a human penis for a face.
The, yeah, like Pink Panther is the same kind of thing as like the Hanna-Barbera.
They had all those like weird characters.
Yeah.
That maybe they had their own show at some point.
Yeah.
Snagglepuss.
Yeah.
The Hanna-Barbera the main one
was the Flintstones
right
and the Jetsons
yeah
and then you would
occasionally get a
Snagglepuss
or
like Yogi Bear
was kind of
yeah that was
Hanna-Barbera
and yeah
but there's Snagglepuss
and then there was
like Droopy Dog
or something
yeah maybe
were the Wacky Racers
Hanna-Barbera
yeah
but like that
didn't make it into the 80s.
No, but those characters would just sometimes, like, show up in a package of stickers or something,
and you're like, yeah, I guess I'll put Droopy Dog on my lunchbox.
Droopy Dog rules.
Yeah, he was just sad.
Yeah.
He was just a sad guy.
And that voice, it's a fun voice.
But there was, like, I was just sad. Yeah. He was just a sad guy. And that voice, it's a fun voice. But there was like, I can't remember.
I never saw it, but I lived with past guests.
Did we get to know us?
Yes.
Okay.
I lived with past guest Sean Proudlove,
and he knew all those Hanna-Barbera characters from the 70s.
Yeah, he's a little older than us.
Yeah, and he knew
one like there was a character called grape ape that was just a babe yeah an ape that just was
purple and said grape that was the whole gag i mean there's a guy who just says i am groot now
yeah people are okay with that that's true um there's a guy who just says Hodor it's like
yeah
this is the
one of these tales
this is one of these
things that goes
through all kinds
of cultures
right
it's just like
it's an archetype
and we all love it
yeah
I mean there were
whatever
it goes back to
cavemen
they just said
og or whatever
it was that one
caveman that only
said og
other ones
they would say
trog
blog blog blog It was that one caveman that only said og. Other ones would say trog, blog.
Blog.
Blog, damn it.
I remember seeing the guy who did the voice of the Aflac duck.
Gilbert Gottfried?
Yeah, him on a morning television show and saying that he was updating his blob but he thought like he thought the word was blob and he kept saying it throughout the interview like well just go check
it out on my blob anyways oh that's great yeah does it come for like are we far enough away that
i don't know where it comes from does it come from weblog weblog i can see why they shortened it i mean but also like
what i who came up with that i'm logging like it was a it was meant to be they started out
as just a diary this is yeah this is my web a web log. Like just the worst.
Yeah, it's the worst.
And then like.
Really love your peaches when I shake your log.
But there's still, there's still blogs, right?
But I just don't know what they are anymore.
But there's blogs that people go to like.
Well, like, oh boy.
go to like well like boy I mean it became a thing where like a blog hosting service would just be a way for people to post news updates yeah yeah and so it was like this is it it wasn't a log it was
just like here's what's going on like yeah there's a picture of sir Jessica Parker with cocaine on her nose.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But like there was a, there was a point where I had like six blogs that I would just go on.
Oh yeah.
And now I don't, I don't know.
I go on.
You, I still, I mean, I still subscribe to a bunch there.
Well, there used to be Google reader.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which you could, you could Which you could keep all your blogs
in one place
and then they just stopped
making Google Reader.
Right.
And then you could,
I still use one called
Feedly.
Okay.
But most of the blogs
I subscribe to
I don't ever check.
Yeah.
But I mean,
they still are out there.
They're still,
people are still doing them.
Yeah.
I mean, this is,
this podcast is technically a blog.
Yeah, I guess so, right?
Like it has a feed that updates.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's, I just remember like there was these blogs that I was just like when I was bored.
We are old men.
Yeah.
This podcast is technically a blog.
Yeah.
What the?
Who is listening to this?
Somebody out there is.
You weirdos.
Thanks for listening.
Yeah.
Keep it up.
Yeah, keep it up.
The,
but now I just go on Facebook.
Like now I've just completely, I think I was doing better when I was reading content.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
And now I'm just like scroll fast the same eight pictures.
Yeah.
What have I become?
A different person in your group of friends giving up on their dream every day.
I think I'm going to quit this comedy thing all right and uh you know there's a lot of
pictures of of a couple holding a brand new baby and i'm like i don't know who either of these
people are well why am i seeing this intimate moment? When we started this podcast, I was just like, oh, yeah.
Listeners would be like, send me friend requests.
I'd be like, yep, sure, anyone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And now it's gotten to the point where Facebook is useless because I don't know any of the people in my feed.
I did just two days ago.
I was like, welcome, you know, Christian Michael something. And I was like, uh you know uh christian michael something and i was like
what the hell's going on or like they'll send you an update saying it's been eight years since you
and this person you don't know became friends oh yeah well memories to last a lifetime yeah i'll
cherish it um so what's going on with you okay well technically at the recording of this i know
last week we did that we did a for our farewell to summer yeah it was great it's something
unpredictable and in the end it's right um so uh also last week so here's what's happening
i'm i think i'm losing my mind oh no because do you remember
a couple weeks ago uh we were uh you were talking about seth rogan doing the announcements on the
bus yes and then the next week i was like so here's what's happening seth rogan yeah yeah well
two weeks ago uh you were talking about going to the aquarium. And then last week, I talked about going to the aquarium like I invented the aquarium.
Only when we released the earlier episode did I realize, oh, man, I'm just repeating what Graham said.
But those are two of the great Vancouver things, Seth Rogen voice and the aquarium.
I mean.
But like, I didn't,
I knew someone had mentioned going to the aquarium.
I thought it was like critty three or four episodes ago off air.
Because I was like, that wouldn't be Graham.
Why would Graham go to the aquarium?
He lives here.
That's true.
So do I.
Why would I go to the aquarium?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And in the same time period.
Yeah.
Yeah. It is weird weird and it's like and but also like my observations about the aquarium it's musty yeah we're in the
same as yours no and there's right right now in vancouver there's a big uh story about this uh
whale that's like separated from its pod. Oh yeah, J50.
Yeah.
And they're like, well, we could capture the whale and like treat it and then let it back into the wild.
Would they put it in the aquarium in the meantime?
Where do they put it while they're tending to it?
Yeah, because they banned whales of the aquarium.
Yeah, yeah.
Cetaceans.
Yeah. So where do you put, where do you put this, this creature? Yeah, because they banned whales of the aquarium. Yeah, yeah. Cetaceans.
Yeah, so where do you put this creature?
The YMCA pool?
Oh, that would be my nightmare come true,
is that every time I would go in the pool,
I'd be like, I better not let a shark in here.
Do you know killer whales are dolphins?
A kid told me that. Kids get all the updates on animals before
that's true like i i still thought it was a fish yeah it's all that a whale was a fish
if there was a kid's newscast that was on every day like as reliably as uh adult news that's what
i'd watch kids news yeah what's going on and like which dinosaurs
now do exist we thought brontosaurus wasn't a thing and now it turns out it is yeah oh yeah
you're you want to talk about who's first on the scene in dinosaur news absolutely it's kids kids
100 of the time and like you know um who's better shimmer or shine shimmer is uh what are the what are they they
are genies okay genies divine okay shimmer and shine ah genies divine
i uh that's how kids learn about middle eastern culture the uh
is it like a highly
produced
show
no it's totally bare bones
it's just these two genies
hanging out in the basement
well like
the only reason I ask
is because this morning
I um watched like five minutes of uh beat bugs
it was on past guest charlie demers yeah and it's and this episode it had sia was singing
the song in it and it was like this beautifully computer animated like super high budget but when
i was a kid like i really did
watch that old spider-man series where it was just like the same image of him over like a crazy
tie-dyed background and they don't even have to make his mouth move because he's wearing a mask
that's why they made the show and so i was like kids they did the the content that they're getting
is so good.
But do they care?
But it's still like you watch a kid's show today and you see where they cut corners.
Because it's like Paw Patrol.
This happens all in the town of Adventure Bay.
Population six.
It's like the same six people.
Always getting in trouble. Always getting in trouble.
You got, you know, Farmer Yumi.
You got Mayor Goodway, the evil mayor from Scumberg or whatever.
I forget.
You got Farmer Al.
You got Captain Turbot, his cousin, Pierre Turbot or something.
Francois. Francois Turbot, his cousin, Pierre Turbot or something. Francois, Francois Turbot.
Anyway, and then there's the show, what is it?
Oh, PJ Masks.
Oh, PJ Masks, I know what that is.
That's like little kids and superhero.
Yeah, little superhero kids.
But they only do their battles at night when
I guess the streets are empty so they don't have to draw
any background characters.
But like
Paw Patrol,
that's about dogs and cats that go
rescue, right?
Dogs that go rescue. Oh, dogs. Okay.
Yeah, it's a Paw Patrol.
It's not a Claw Patrol. Oh, dogs. Okay. Yeah. It's a paw patrol. I just can't tell. It's not a claw patrol.
That's true.
But that sounds like a pitch that somebody went into a meeting and they had this great project that they pitched.
And the guy was like, no, what else do you got?
And they go, I don't know, dogs that fucking save people.
And they're like, well, take it.
Yeah, yeah.
And they're all led by this guy, Ryder.
Ryder needs this.
And is one of them a construction dog?
Yeah, Rubble is a bulldog.
He does construction.
So here's what the...
This is the best.
Okay, do you want to know what all the...
Yes, I do.
Okay.
Are there five or six of them?
Well, now they've added a couple more.
There's Everest, who's a cold weather dog.
Yeah.
They needed new toys.
Yeah.
And there's Tracker.
Tracker.
Who maybe has big ears and can hear very well.
Okay.
But the main dogs are Marshall.
Yeah.
What does Marshall do?
He's the head.
He's the head of the-
Marshall.
Just from the name.
He, I don't know. He's a fireman's the head of the Marshal Just from the name He I don't know
He's a fireman dog
Oh right
Okay fire marshal
Yeah
So he's got
Let me show you something
He does a lot of Jim Carrey impressions
He's got a little fire truck
A little ladder
Yeah
He's a
He's a Dalmatian
But his
His
Black spots are puffs of smoke
Really
They're out of everything.
Oh, wow.
There's Chase.
He's a police dog.
Okay.
There's Rubble.
Yeah.
There's Rachel.
There's Ross.
Will they or won't they?
There's Skye, the only girl.
Helicopter?

Yeah.
It's, there's nothing to it.
No.
It's not, uh, it looks good, but.
Yeah.
It's rotting everyone's brain.
Yeah.
Do you, you don't learn anything from these shows?
Some shows you learn things from.
Okay.
But not Paw Patrol.
No.
But like, uh.iel tiger is based on
the works of mr rogers you learn about how to deal with your feelings okay the kids don't like it
they don't like daniel tiger like i mean they wouldn't choose it it's like work it's like yeah
there's this new one that margo has discovered on Netflix called booba. Okay.
Which are like little three minute Russian, I think.
Silent films.
They're like, there's no, they're like Mr. Bean.
There's nothing.
There's just one guy.
Booba goes to the pool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Booba gets changed in front of a blind man.
We taught him how to see.
Uh, so yeah, I went, I I went, I'm losing my mind.
The other thing that's going on with me is,
and I thought this might be just a summer thing,
but I'm starting to stink.
Okay.
Like my whole life, I've worn deodorant
and I've been like, great, deodorant works.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't, I don't know if I need it, but I've been using deodorant and I've been like great deodorant works yeah yeah yeah I haven't I don't
know if I need it but I've been using deodorant and it seemed like the thing to do once you hit
puberty yeah yeah and then every you know every once a month I'd get a whiff of my armpit and it
would be not great but otherwise fine yeah and like you know I'm aware enough of it that i'm not repeating the
same clothes over and over yeah yeah and if i smell myself and it doesn't smell good i'll put
more deodorant do a reapply sure every day now like i thought it was just the summer and i was
just like it's a little too hot you You know, I... Yeah, I definitely,
during the summer, I was like,
I was ramping up the frequency.
But like,
I don't know if my nose
has become more attuned,
if my armpits have become,
are working overtime.
I don't know if it's like,
stress, like...
It might be stress related.
Because there are commercials
where it's like,
stress, sweat, smells worse.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, uh, but yeah, I've noticed that like, uh, because I used to, I used to use antiperspirant.
No.
And then they said that that's, that's a no-go.
That's very poisonous.
Uh, don't do that.
It's poisonous to your shirts.
It's poisonous to.
It really was poisonous to them.
Some of my favorite shirts.
It ruins your shirts. It's poisonous to. It really was poisonous to them. Some of my favorite shirts. It ruins your shirts.
Yeah.
I mean, apparently, I know everyone says it's got aluminum in it.
Mm-hmm.
And that they say is linked to Alzheimer's.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Alzheimer's Society does not acknowledge that.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So that's. that oh really yeah so because my friend when i one time i i uh made this uh barbecue uh chicken
with a beer can up its butt yeah yeah and my friend was like oh you'll get alzheimer's from
that and i looked it up and i was like nope nope alzheimer's denies this the uh but it will ruin
shirts that is that is yeah 100 the also weird the, the Alzheimer's society is like antiperspirant ruins shirts.
Yeah.
It's weird that they would take such a hard line on it, but hey, they know it's true.
Yeah.
Um, the, uh, but I've, this summer I had the same thing where it was like once a day was not cutting it.
Yeah.
Like I had to, I had to up the, and you know what?
I carry around a backpack a lot of the time.
Keep it, keep a stick in there.
Oh, sure.
I like, I, I, sometimes I'll buy my deodorant in a big stick, sometimes in a small stick,
whatever's available, whatever seems like the best deal.
Yeah.
I threw out a big stick cause I was like, maybe this is expiring because I, I'm not
using it quickly enough.
Yeah.
Even with a fresh new stick, fresh new small stick.
Maybe because I know I've heard that sometimes you've got to switch.
You've got to switch brands.
You've got to switch products.
This product doesn't work for you anymore.
But so much of my identity is linked to this one scent.
It's true.
Everybody knows that you're a brute.
Force. That would be the name of their deodorant line. is linked to this one scent. It's true. Everybody knows that you're a brute force.
That would be the name of their deodorant.
I am a, the thing is I always buy the wrong one.
Yeah.
Like I never remember what I am.
It's a right guard and I go sniff it. And I'm like, I'm not ocean surf.
I am ocean surf.
It's a right guard.
And I go sniff it.
I'm like, I'm not ocean surf.
I am ocean surf.
I, uh, I remember for a long time I used that.
It was like the gel.
Uh-huh.
Oh man.
That was disgusting.
Yeah.
What was I thinking?
I used that too.
It was like, it was like putting, uh, the, that like, uh, kindergarten glue, you know, that came in the like, the red tip on top.
And it would be,
because in the commercial,
they ooze it onto their armpits.
Yeah.
But then the guy
rubs his finger on his armpit
and snaps and it's dry.
You're like,
oh, that's fine.
But he's like,
oh, my eye.
I have so much chug on it
when I snap.
But it is like,
it's cold goop
you're putting on it.
Yeah.
I mean, there are listeners right now who are like, why put anything on, man?
Yeah, just wave a crystal over it.
I feel like every 50 episodes or so we have a deodorant discussion.
Yeah.
But you know what?
For every one of those episodes, I haven't stunk.
And now I do.
Okay.
So now I think it's time to go with a whole new brand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well,
I don't,
but I also like,
I don't know if anyone else can smell it.
I can't smell it.
No,
I,
yeah,
I know.
And I know that,
that,
uh,
like they say that,
you know,
BO body.
Yeah.
I,
I'm,
I'm pretty good friends with BO. call i can call it bo yeah yeah
uh it's it's more related to re like wearing the same clothes over and over right yeah which i
never do no i mean pants yeah oh it's true i'll wear these pants. Till the sun comes up?
Over Santa Monica Boulevard.
All I want to do is have some fun in my pants.
In my pants, oh boy.
Oh, hey.
I'm listening to this new podcast about the Smallville sex cult.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's called, it's got a really bad name.
It's called Uncover. Okay. You want to call it Uncovered. It's called, it's got a really bad name. It's called uncover.
Okay.
You want to call it uncovered.
It's called uncover.
Uncover.
And escaping next view.
And this,
uh,
we,
we had,
uh,
Paul Anthony was in here.
He talked about almost getting in the sex cult.
Yeah.
Uh,
what happens in the sex cult?
Cause we,
I don't,
I've only read the one. I haven't heard, I haven't heard any of the sex cult? Because we I don't I've only read the one
I haven't heard
I haven't heard any of the sexing
Okay
I've heard about the
Episode one they talk about
Being branded
And then I think episode two
They talk about
Just you know
How they all
Gave all their money to this thing
Yeah
Yeah
And like that sort of weird
Culty thing in the
beginning stages like people say about scientology or any cult at the very beginning is like it was
kind of working for me yeah like they had these teachings that made sense and yes of course i
should let go of my fears and whatever yeah well it's the same like uh when i was a teenager and they used to have ads for dianetics
it seemed like it was like why wouldn't you why wouldn't you read this book dave mustaine
endorses it yeah everybody's had such a good uh experience and it's like let go of this negative
energy something to do with the volcano yeah and uh yeah i can, like, you know, those get wealthy now seminars and stuff.
Get rich quick.
Yeah.
Acquire wealth in a hurry scams.
Like, people, they make them, like, get up and dance and, like, shout out their problems and stuff.
I have BO all of a sudden.
The right guard doesn't work for me anymore.
I think it's stress related.
The,
uh,
but you know what I mean?
Like you could see how,
if you were isolated from everybody that you knew and you were in this thing and everybody else was doing it, that you were like, that you would get into the slipstream of it pretty quick.
Like you would be the odd man out if you're like, I'm not going to chant.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And everybody else is like chanting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, they, uh, so, but the reason we were talking about not changing your pants.
Right.
And there's the leader.
He breaks them into like a, I mean, he doesn't break them into, but there is a women's group where they talk about the women's role, woman's role.
And a men's group where they talk about men's urges, basically.
Right.
And he, the leader makes a joke, doesn't't make a joke but accidentally says something funny uh and it gets a laugh and he moves on he does like he's supposed to be so smart like he's
like the whole basis of this cult is that he is like a prodigy he's been right you know his his
iq is off the charts he's he's an human being. He doesn't get the most simple joke that gets a laugh.
It just moves right on, which is he talks about the male orgasm and how primal it is.
Men need to have orgasms.
We have orgasms in our genes.
And that's what gets laughed.
And you hear a few people laughing
he doesn't even acknowledge it the i remember when i was uh uh like i don't know probably like 13 or
something somebody told me one of the hell's angels initiations was that you had to wear the same pair of pants for like six months and i remember my friend was
like it'd be all shitty and i was like why well you wouldn't not know how to use pants all of a
sudden that's literally what they tell you how to break in raw denim so you'll get the best fades
if you don't wash them for six months
yeah but i remember thinking as a kid i was like that's too crazy it's too crazy
what is like silly club it is the hell's angels yeah they you have to wear this
pair of pants and i mean obviously jeans Nobody's wearing dungarees.
Yeah, obviously.
You know, a nice docker.
Yeah.
I'm going to start a motorcycle cult.
A motorcycle gang where we wear a nice chino.
Oh, nice.
What would you call yourself?
Oh, I don't know.
I guess maybe...
Ken.
The devil's Ken.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyways, I just remember.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
So that's what's going on with me.
My brain is falling out, maybe oozing out of my armpits.
Sure.
And that's what's up with you.
Speaking on, yeah, health related things. i had to go get a uh physical done
and uh was this for uh dude for a life insurance policy it is exactly what this is for oh really
for for an insurance policy uh now i'm i took out an insurance policy on you yeah yeah a lot of
people seem to have this whole this whole town seems to have insurance policies.
Everyone is a suspect.
But one thing that we have, especially in the summer, is that we are too hot always.
You and I.
You and I.
Okay.
You and I, we're always too hot.
Never too cold.
You take your best shot too hot to hold.
Maybe we, like, I don't know when the last time you had a physical.
Never.
Never.
Okay.
So I got, this is the first physical I've had in a long time.
And they did the temperature in the ear.
And the guy was like shocked at how warm I was. really yeah and he was like he's like are you sick
right now like do you feel like you have a fever like i don't have a fever and he's like have you
been tested for uh hyperthyroidism and i was like yes i have i do not have it and he kept he did it
again and he couldn't get over it. He's like,
you're like a whole degree hotter than what you should be.
And,
uh,
he just kept it like coming back to that.
He just kept looping around.
Maybe you're like an exceptional guy who should start a cult.
Yeah.
Hot hands.
Yeah.
The hot hands cult.
And I put my sweaty,
sweaty hands on your head. And people are like, oh, don't. Yeah. The hot hands cult. And I put my sweaty, sweaty hands on your head.
And people are like, oh, don't.
Stop.
I guess this is, you know, suffering is a rite of passage.
Coming through your weird hands.
That is something that I've done before, especially if somebody's got naturally cold hands, I'll give them the, the hand, uh, put them both on both sides of the hand
and just let my, my hand warm up their cold hand. Cause these are always hot right now.
Graham and I are touching hands. Yeah. You got hotter hands than I do. Yeah. But they're
always like that, which is like, uh, anyway, so hot hand is something great. It's great
to have in Las Vegas. That's true. And on the basketball court, anyways, a hot hand is something great. It's great to have in Las Vegas. That's true.
And on the basketball court,
you want a hot hand?
Uh,
what does that,
what does that say?
And what does they say?
What does they,
what does they say in NBA jam?
Uh,
Bazinga.
I think Bazinga trademark.
They get out of TM at the end of it.
Um,
yeah,
you have hot hands.
I have hot hands. You, and, uh, you're the hottest, you're the end of it um yeah you have hot hands i have hot hands you and uh your hottest
ear this side of the mississippi but like you don't ever want anything during a physical like
you want the guy to be like you're the most boring you don't want him anything about you to interest
him career-wise you don't want him to call you a specimen yeah. You don't want him to call you a specimen.
Yeah, yeah.
You don't want him to like jot down your name and then he's like picturing himself winning the Nobel Prize.
Graham-Clark disease.
Sounds pretty good.
Yeah.
I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.
So that is a weird kind of thing like yeah yeah are you insurable i think so i think i i think i'm gonna pass the the muster
but uh should i have physicals yeah i think so at this uh this point in our in our lives no one's asked me to
no but i think you go when i go to the doctor yeah it's because of a specific issue and and
he never brings up you should bet you should have an overall yeah but it's not like super
intensive like you just go in and temperature, height, weight. He presses on your stomach for some reason.
I really think he went an extra couple pushes to see if I would fart.
And I was like, ready to.
I was like, if you want this to happen.
Like if that's what you're hoping for.
Nurse, time this fart.
I, well, because my dog gets physicals.
Yeah. Yeah. I know Olivia cause my dog gets physicals.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know Olivia Newton-John gets physicals. Yeah.
Uh, but like, no, they do my, my dog, they, he just, um, had a couple teeth removed today.
He's so high.
He's got a fentanyl patch on his foot.
Oh boy.
And, uh, he's, but like when they take him in, they do a lot of stomach feeling.
I've never had that done.
Oh, no, maybe I have, but, but only if it was like a specific, like, I think my kidney's
coming out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's what the test definitely feels like.
Like the doctor kind of is like, he's pushing something around.
Have you ever had to turn your head and cough?
Uh, yes.
Ah, while they pulled your testes?
Yeah, yeah.
I've never had that.
And, uh, you know, uh, that was fine.
What's that for?
An ulcer?
No.
No, a hernia.
A hernia.
I feel like everything is hernia.
They're pressing your stomach.
Is that a hernia?
You got a hernia in there.
And then he pressed on my stomach and then he had a nap on my stomach like a cat.
Oh yeah. Yeah. he needed it yeah um and i just had to i had to just lie there until
he woke up several hours later it was nighttime he panicked he was like i was only supposed to
be up for five minutes um so i did that and then also i've had but like no there was no conclusion because i well like we've never
had a thermometer until we had kids yeah and then a lot of fun to take your own temperature yeah
yeah you do it in both ears because you know they're they might be a little different what
if i did it wrong the first time yeah yeah and but when i when i go back to normal i go back to normal like i'm not a degree like i know i
complain about the heat and i run hot i'm but i i read as the correct temperature yeah this guy was
very interested in me like like i say like even at the end of the thing he was like you know like stay cool man like yeah
stay frosty
um
yeah
so there's that
and then
um
over the last couple weeks
I've had access to a car
oh cool
yeah
so I've been
I won't ask any questions
you just
uh
you can ask as many questions
as you like
what's the kind of car
it is a Toyota Corolla it is a toyota corolla
it is a honda fit oh a tiny car yeah i believe that is now this might be old information but
i believe that at a certain point was the most popular car in the world yeah it's i've seen
so many of them and as soon as i walk away from it in a parking lot, it instantly gets lost in a sea of exact.
Not only is it a popular car, it's also a popular shape of car.
Yeah.
And it's also just gray.
I think they only make it in gray.
And it's really fun.
Fun having a car.
Zipping around.
I mean, gas. Oh oh so expensive uh uh but
you know how long have you had this car oh yeah we two weeks but how many times have you had to
fill it up just once yeah but i was like when you were uh learning to drive did you ever fill up the
car or did you just always return it to your parents on an empty no i filled it up and it was always especially if it was a weekend where like i had chauffeured around
friends i would take up a collection okay and it would be it would be the most hilariously like
movie kind of you know money that teenagers have all crumpled uh one you know there's a button all that kind of stuff in it i because
we're not we're around the time we were learning to drive you and i although we did it separately
and didn't know each other it was a weird transitional time in gas stations yes where
it was like some of them take a card some of them you go in and you talk to a guy yeah some of them have a weird lever you
need to flip up yeah to start and no one tells you about it and then there was also like a weird
i don't know what it was but it was like a little glass bubble yeah that had like balls in it that
just raced around and you're like i guess that i guess they're doing the lottery drawing live on TV, but these numbers are not official until validated.
And the thing back in the day, now it doesn't matter
because it's all everybody's card all the time,
but you try to make it exactly on an amount.
Like that Jerry Seinfeld American Impress commercial.
Yeah, yeah.
The perfect pump.
And now nobody cares about the perfect pump yes you just
although they do you have to enter in i guess so your credit card will uh yeah like pre-authorization
yeah pre-authorize how much gas you estimate you'll be buying and you have to do a bit of math
because you're like oh yeah the worst is when you're in america and you're to do a bit of math because you're like, oh, the worst is when you're in America and you're like,
yeah,
how much is how I have to convert Canadian dollars to American dollars and
liters to gallons.
I was going to say courts,
how many courts?
Um,
but yeah,
like,
uh,
it's like a couple,
uh,
restaurants that have gone to that. Otherwise I wouldn't go to because it would be like two buses or something.
But I got a car now.
Because the bus doesn't drive through.
Yeah.
What restaurants?
There's like a couple little Mexican restaurants on Victoria Drive that are real, real good.
But like.
Dona Cata's not there Donacatta's not there anymore.
It's not there anymore.
But that was,
Same,
same place.
Oh,
cause that was like
the original,
like,
we make tacos
that aren't
El Paso.
Yeah.
Like that was the only
place in Vancouver that,
Didn't make like
crunchy tacos.
Yeah,
that made tacos
that were like,
try this part of a cow.
Are you kidding me? And, now it's try this part of a cow. Are you kidding me?
And now it's the only part of the cow we eat.
And then like, you know, this is probably all I have for you,
but like sometimes you feel like I want an ice cream thing or something.
You just hop in the car, go get an ice cream.
Who are you talking to?
You could just do that.
Yeah.
That's like literally the life.
Abby and I are, so the thing is Dairy Queen, their hours are just suggested hours.
Like if they close at 9.30, but it's a super cold wintry night and no one has shown up
between 8.30 and 9, they'll just close at 9.
Right. And you show up at
9 15 and they're closed and you're like but i have cravings yeah you were depending on that half hour
to coast you through and my whole like like i go to the grocery store i look at the ben and jerry's
they're seven dollars for a thing yeah you're like this is way too expensive i'll wait for the
every thursday i buy low foods when they go on sale for 4.99
but like the the price of a blizzard is more than a thing of a ben and jerry's yeah and i'm gonna
you have to eat that all at once a blizzard yeah yeah you can't, well, I'll just have a little. Yeah. A fridge.
But then I eat the whole thing.
But so,
uh,
in conclusion.
Yes.
Yeah.
It's great.
Ice cream is great.
I love it so much.
Uh,
uh,
I remember the last year I was having a conversation with past guest,
Jessica Delisle.
Mm-hmm.
And she,
she was like, what's your favorite ice cream
oh no for some reason it came out that i guess she can't eat dairy right so she was talking about
oh do you like coconut ice cream or some stuff and i was like no i don't i like it my body's
perfect i'm allowed to eat anything like my body i have no problem with any kind of food
i don't want to talk about the weird lesser thing that you're you're substituting right
and she was like well do you like dairy queen like yes i love dairy queen well it's ice milk
oh what so what is ice milk i don't know it. It's fine. Whatever. I like what I'm allowed to whatever.
I don't want to have these conversations about some weird marshmallow puff that is made out of a coconut.
I want the best I can have because my body will allow it because I don't need to go to physicals.
I don't need to do physicals. I think't need to go to physicals. I don't need to do physicals.
I think you need to go to physicals.
I'm insured out the wazoo.
I think the doctor's going to be like, how much ice cream have you eaten?
Oh, every day?
I did read an article, Doc, that said you can have ice cream for breakfast,
and it actually makes nutritional sense.
So we're doing three meals of it um but you know
what i will say coconut ice cream i didn't think i would ever uh go in for that i actually like it
because i don't like coconut like coconut ice cream it's like a flavor a chocolate or vanilla
i like it so there you go yeah okay i'm just fine you you would eat it if it was the only
ice cream available you would you would eat it you If it was the only ice cream available, you would eat it.
You know what?
It's nice to take a break from ice cream.
Maybe have some coconut ice cream.
I'd say I don't eat ice cream two days a week.
Same two days every week?
No, no, no, no.
There are days where you're like, today's my cheat day from ice cream.
Yeah.
We ran out of ice cream, and I don't think I'm going to get more today.
Oh, no.
Now, like, I watched that movie about the founder of McDonald's.
The founder.
And the big pivot in that movie is that when he switches from real milkshakes to this like powdered whatever it's like some kind of
space age compound yeah mixed with water and it's like a shake um and is that still is that still
what's going on at all these places yeah at the fast food places it's like some sort of space
goop i don't know dairy queen does their own thing. Dairy Queen is a soft serve.
And that's like something.
Yeah.
McDonald's does a soft serve and a milkshake.
Okay.
A few years ago, maybe a decade ago, they switched from regular milkshakes to triple thick milkshakes, which are too thick to drink.
Right.
I'm in a hurry.
But like.
I'm trying to fill this belly full of shamrock
there's places that just call them shakes and i always just thought like well then there's no
milk in them well i thought that that was just like a fun way to advertise it but then i was
like then then i found out that actually that is why they call them shakes because there is no milk
yeah it's like some kind of i don't know what it is. A goop?
A goop. It's a gelatin.
Yeah, it's some sort of cold gelatin. Do you remember
when we went to Johnny Rockets? Yeah.
That was great.
Those for sure. That was a real milkshake.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Johnny Rockets
at Young and
Dundas Square in Toronto where Graham and I
hang out every time we go to Toronto. I think
when we go for
JFL 42, we gotta go to Johnny Rockets.
We gotta make the pilgrimage.
I'll go, but
I acknowledge that it was bad.
Yeah, but it's...
Maybe the milkshake was good. Yeah, the milkshake was good.
The atmosphere is good.
The atmosphere is boogie-woogie.
Yeah, it's boogie-woogie.
There's a new Johnny Rockets here.
Really? Oak and Broadway. Well, it's boogie woogie. They actually, well, there's a new Johnny Rockets here. Really?
All right.
Oak and Broadway.
Well, you know what?
Got this car
for a couple more weeks.
Drive over there.
Why not?
Get myself a milkshake.
Then feel sick
for the rest of the night.
The difference is
my body loves a milkshake.
It's great for me.
It's something my body
needs anyway.
Your doctor,

What a weird thing that she... Well, I mean, what a weird selection of the most famous photographers.
Yeah, that's true.
We could name six of them.
Yeah.
And they range in quality from babies in flora to, you know, the guy who did the dirty video by Christina Aguilera.
Oh, man. What a video i know um i watched uh burlesque was on the other night watch the whole thing uh is that the last thing share was in before mama mia here we go

If you have some time
Burlesque
Get burlesque
Now we also have
Overheard sent in to us
From people around the world
If you want to send one in
You can send it in to
spy at maximumfun.org
And this first one comes from
Nathan from Lincoln,
Nebraska. I guess so.
He was on vacation to Chicago
and got yelled at by
a dude on the street, apropos of nothing.
He approached me and screamed,
fuck all y'all, I'm gonna get a cheek
tattoo tomorrow. Yikes.
Yikes.
Fuck all y'all.
I don't think.
I mean, that's one of the parts of the cow that we now eat because of Mexican.
Oh, yeah.
Tacos.
Tattooed cheek.
Yeah.
Is a delicacy.
You slow cook that cheek.
Yeah.
And that really brings out the tattoo.
It really falls off the bone?
Yeah.
The tooth?
There's no animal's teeth that we eat.
No.
We're so, in a lot of ways, we're really backwards.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, it's like, why are you afraid that those teeth are going to eat you?
Yeah.
I guess we don't, do we eat bones, though?
Yeah, but like, don't people eat the whatever, the goop inside?
The marrow?
Yeah.
Aren't the people crazy about that? Yeah, people will eat marrow. But I don't think eat the whatever, the goop inside? The marrow? Yeah. Aren't people crazy about that?
Yeah, people will eat marrow.
But I don't think there's anything in a tooth.
I mean, if commercials have taught me anything, there's nerves.
Yeah, and you would think that people would be like,
mm, tooth nerves.
They're simply out of this world.
We're a couple years away.
We need the right food truck.
Oh, yeah.
And it's just, yeah, I can picture it.
I can see people going like, oh, it's a part of the thing that we haven't eaten before.
Oh, these tooths haven't been de-nerved?
Yeah.
You de-nerve them yourself.
That's part of the fun.
You get one of those dentist drills at your table.
Oh, can you oh and you gotta drill a tooth and just the smell of the burning but you can see how you know how like people who love pot they're
like oh i love the smell of pot and it's like nah it smells like it's awful it's like a skunk yeah
but like you love the
thing so much that that's what would happen with tooth cuisine is people would be like oh i just
love the smell i love the smell when you start drilling i love the ritual yeah the drilling
those tooth drills uh-huh they must not be like they're not that effective i guess because no like they really have to drill a long time to
fill to just like make a tiny hole yeah and i also think uh a lot of and i could be really
wrong about this but i feel like my uh dentist is really just like improv-ing whenever i'm there
he's just like well this might this might end up being a real big problem.
Maybe not.
Yeah, it's a lot of like,
well, according to this picture of this tooth,
there's a problem in here.
Yeah.
I'm not drilling into the picture.
I'm drilling into the tooth.
But I am using the picture for reference.
But I didn't like, you know,
there's no,
I'm not projecting an image of the cavity onto the tooth
so I can see exactly where it is.
I'm sort of like, I know my way around teeth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw a picture earlier.
I've seen thousands of teeth.
At a certain point in my career, I hadn't.
So just be glad you're getting me now.
Yeah, and yeah, I looked at a picture moments ago.
I should be able to locate it.
I looked at a picture of a tooth.
It was a cartoon picture of a tooth
holding a toothbrush,
smiling, brushing itself.
The roots were the feet
and away we go.
So like, is that
cartoon tooth that has
teeth, they also
cartoon teeth up in there?
It's like that
whatever they call that effect.
Yeah.
With the butter lady.
What?
The indigenous woman on the label of the butter.
Oh, she's holding a butter with her on it.
What is the name of that butter?
I want to say land lubber.
Land of lakes.
Land lubber butter.
Land of lakes, yes.
There's an effect.
What's the name of that effect?
I wanted to say it's recumbent, but that's a type of bicycle.
I also want to say it's recidivism, but that's the people who recommit crimes after they get out of prison.
I was Googling land lumber.
Land O'Lakes butter effect is what I'm looking up.
And the first result will be the Drost Effect.
Drost.
Oh, boy.
That was way off.
It's named after a cocoa label.
Drost Cocoa.
Picture in a picture in a picture in a picture.
Uh-huh.
This next overheard comes from Verna.
I don't know where from, but, uh, this was Verna.
Hey Verna.
This is an old overheard.
Uh, it's pretty rare to see a penis on the big screen.
That's true.
That is true.
Oh boy.
Can you count the times you've seen it on the big screen for me?
Yeah.
I mean, I haven't seen.
Seen the pain?
They have that flash frame in Fight Club.
Yeah.
I haven't seen any Harvey Keitel movies on the big screen.
Yeah.
And this one I saw on the big screen, the one that she's talking about,
Eastern Promises.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't see it on the big screen, though.
But she went to go see Eastern Promises with my boyfriend in a packed theater after the
nude fight scene.
What a nude fight scene.
Such a good nude fight scene.
Top ten.
I leaned over to stage whisper, well, that ruined a perfectly good full frontal.
But as the words spilled out, the movie got super quiet, so everyone around heard.
No.
Pretty good. Yeah. You everyone around heard. No. Pretty good.
Yeah.
You were overheard.
Yeah.
You know, that's probably one of the most disturbing fight scenes I've ever seen in a movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess.
I mean, I don't remember that well.
I know it was pretty brutal.
Yeah.
And it comes out with a knife.
Yeah.
While he's naked in a steamy While he's eating a steamy
Instead of a hot dog
Yeah
Okay
French Canadian hot dog
Yeah
It's really slippery in there

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Yeah
Those tiles are so slippery
And it really had notes
Of the three stooges
It was
Woo
Woo
Woo
Yeah
Yeah
And it's weird Because a guy these two guys
were moving a piece of glass across the street somebody was uh there was a piano being lifted up
and you you can imagine what happened next they were all naked too it was it's weird towards the
end of the three stooges run that all of their movies were naked. Yeah.
That it was just the nude Three Stooges.
Yeah.
In the last couple of years of their career.
But they got hotter bodies as they got older.
So it was like.
It's true.
People liked it and it was good.
And.
Yeah, it was a different time.
I think I'd be a lot better looking naked, um, in black and white.
Oh, that's interesting. I think I'd look better naked in a different era.
Oh, sure.
In like a time when just more people were eating more pork sausage all day.
When there was more girdles, you know?
Oh, sure.
More, you look better naked in a girdle. Yeah. Yes, sure. It looked better naked in a girdle.
Yeah, yes, absolutely.
Those shapely curves.
Sure.
This last one comes from Ben O. from Buffalo, New York.
I pulled up to the drive-thru window at Wendy's just now.
The cashier opened the window while at the same time shouting fuck into her headset.
After we exchanged uncomfortable glances i hand her the cash

Now, in addition to overheards that are written in, we also accept your phone calls.
If you want to call us, the phone number is 1-844-779-7631 or 1-I'm sorry, I remember it.
Now it's no fun.
Ugh.
SpyPod 1.
Like these people have.
Shows your brain's still working.
I guess so. Yeah.
I have moved the
part of my brain that needs to know
about the phone number to the forefront.
And removed the part of my brain
that needs to make me stop thinking.
That sends
signals to your arm.
Cool it guys.
Alright.
And these are our phone calls.
And they came through the email.
And then I met a blind man.
Hey, Dave and Graham.
And maybe guests, maybe not.
Aha.
I was calling in from Baltimore.
I'm walking to work.
And it's the evening.
And I passed a young man sitting on his front stoop with a massive retro boom box and, like, a big hat,
and he looked pretty tough, and he had an aggressive kind of stoop-fit stance,
and he was yelling into a cell phone.
And as I walked past, I could hear a little closer what he was saying,
and he said, I said, I made chicken cordon bleu.
Okay, thanks, guys.
Now, is that thing a chicken where you put a ham in the chicken?
Yeah, there's maybe even...
Bacon on the outside?
No, I think it's breaded on the outside.
There might be cheese in the middle, too.
Whoa.
I might be thinking of chicken a la king.
Yeah, yeah, but it's...
No, I'm pretty sure cordon bleu has a wedge of, there's like ham wedged in there.
Let's look it up.
Yeah. Uh, because I mean, it's funny that this thuggish guy was screaming about it.
Uh, but I don't, it's also a kind of food that I don't think has been made in 50 years.
No, it's like lobster Thermidor.
Yeah.
Or, um.
Clams Casino.
Yeah, sure.
Baked Alaska.
Yeah.
Oh God, baked Alaska.
Um, but, or whatever, like my boss is coming over.
You better make chicken cordon bleu.
Means blue ribbon chicken.
Hmm.
Here's what it is. According to Wikipedia.
Wait, there's no Wikipedia article for it.
How is there not a Wikipedia article for chicken grown on blue?
Joey Kramer hated this chicken recipe. It was his least favorite.
It's breaded chicken stuffed with Swiss cheese and ham.
Well, I mean, I don't know that that needs to have such a fancy name.
Cordon Bleu.
What is Chicken a la King?
I don't know.
It seems to be some kind of noodle recipe.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Huh.
Noodle recipe.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Huh.
It consists of chicken in a cream sauce, often with sherry, mushrooms, vegetables served over rice, pasta, or bread.
What about chicken Kiev?
Oh, yeah. That looks to be stuffed.
That's maybe stuffed with a partridge.
Chicken partridge.
Ah, who cares? Here's the next phone call. Here we go. Ah, who cares?
Here's the next phone call.
Here we go.
Hey, Dave Graham and palatable guest.
This is Tim in San Francisco.
And I was just listening to your Andy Haynes episode.
And you were talking about how Sublime is still popular.
So I wanted to share a recent Lyft ride I had where we got in the car.
And the guy said,
Hey, you guys like karaoke?
And we were like, yeah, sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Karaoke's good.
And he's like, yeah, I sing karaoke all up and down.
You guys want to hear me sing some karaoke?
I'm really good.
At this point, we said, sure.
And he said, check this out.
I sing just sublime songs.
I just found out about this band like two years ago.
They're amazing.
And then he sang us a bunch of sublime songs. And he found out about this band like two years ago. They're amazing. And then he sang us a bunch of
Sublime songs, and he was pretty good.
So, yeah, still popular.
People are still finding them.
Oh, and this guy was like
50. Nice. So I don't know.
I don't know how he missed it.
Thanks.
But sometimes
you do just miss a band. Yeah.
And the guys from Sub through i think i was from
sublime are probably 50 yeah i mean the surviving whoever yeah and like but sometimes a band was
really popular oh sure when you were in the same time period that everybody around you was enjoying
them and you were like i don't know, I got really into model airplanes at the time.
I was mostly listening to Weird Al.
I didn't get any of the things he was singing about because I didn't know the real band.
I remember seeing an interview with a Canadian talk show host, Mike Bullard, and he said he didn't like music.
And I was like, that doesn't make any sense to me.
Well, you know, I'm not that way.
I listen to 20 albums a year.
That's true.
That's true.
I like 20 albums a year is what I think I said.
Yeah.
Too many.
You like 20.
You listen to more than 20.
This is a narrowed down list.
Well, because sometimes I'll be like, oh, there's a new album by a band i like i don't like this album uh yeah um i don't yeah that that happens too right where
you like love a certain time period of and then you get excited about a new album and you're like
well you kind of like wouldn't want them to do the same thing that they used to do. Yeah, that's true. But you also,
you kind of do want them
to do the same thing.
And at this point,
what difference does it make?
Yeah.
It's like,
I heard this album
on Spotify.
It,
uh,
cost the band nothing
for me to not like it.
Yeah,
that's true.
They didn't lose a sale.
I was never going to
buy a new album.
Yeah.
Yeah,
fair enough.
And then it makes it easier to just listen to a whole album too, right?
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to play some, buy it, unwrap it.
Oh, man.
Oh, boy.
Do they still have music stores where you can go to a listening station
and test out an album before you buy it?
I don't know, but I remember that.
Looking back, pretty gross gross Just a pair of headphones
Yeah I'm going to be here for 45 minutes
And my doctor said
I have pretty sweaty ears
I'm a whole degree hotter
I have the hottest ears in the city
People are always talking about me
You may want to check the insurance policy
On these headphones
because I'm uninsurable.
Here's your final overheard.
Hello there, Dave,
Graham, and possible guests.

We were recently
on, me and my partner recently, on a
ferry, overnight ferry between
Portsmouth and San Marlo in France for a holiday.
I love this.
And we were walking through the ferry deck area,
and there was a little kid running after his dad.
And the kid caught his foot on the bottom of the door,
went face first into the floor, and sort of looked up.
We were all tensed for that moment.
We were like, the child's going to scream.
We all waited. The child looked up. He looked at his for that moment when a child's going to scream. We all waited.
The child looked up,
looked at his dad
in a very serious voice,
said,
Oh, no!
Not again!
And then just slowly shook his head
in disappointment.
Ha ha ha!
Bye.
Cute kid.
Yeah.
Not again.
