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 579 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who he is not, he will not participate in Elf on the Shelf no matter how popular it is. Is there an Easter version of Elf on the Shelf? Is this germane to this time of year? Yeah, well, yeah, it's germaine to this Jackson. I'm for real.

I'm sorry, Jermaine Jackson. Let's see, Bunny. I mean, Santa is the main guy. He's the main guy. And Elf is just like his, I mean, I don't. His lover. Is that how it is? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Santa is married. He's stepping out. And then he's got a. An elf on the side. An elf on the side. And. So is there anyone who's in the bunny community or is it just the bunny? Furries.

Furries. Yeah. So furry in a slurry. It's Dave Shumka. Hi. I'm here this week. And our guest today, funny comedian, originally from Canada, now makes his home in America. It's Jon Schaubel.

Hello, everybody. Again, with the voice. I don't know what's happening. That's great. You sound fine. Maybe this is my normal, my natural voice. This is your voice. Yeah.

Oh, boy. Oh, yeah. Is this your first time hearing your voice? It's not, but I don't hear it often. And when I do, I don't want to hear it again for a while yeah yeah i feel like when i was growing up it was such a novelty to hear your voice to record like a tape recorder or someone had a uh camera because um but like when i was it was all silent pictures yeah you... Then the talkies came by. Yeah, you're a big fan of the early Laurel and Hardy stuff, not the later talkies. Yeah, I liked anyone hanging on a clock.

Yeah. I like looking at a small hat, not hearing it. Yeah, exactly. But now I feel like everyone probably hears their own voice a million times a day. And also sees their own face. I remember, like, you just see your face first thing in the morning, maybe if you're lucky, last thing of a day. And also sees their own face. I remember like, you just see your face first thing in the morning, maybe if you're lucky,

last thing in the day. Well, because mirror technology has come so far. Because everybody has a phone. You can look at your face any time of the day. Oh, yeah. It's replaced mirror.

You don't need a mirror. You have your phone. I see people checking their makeup or their teeth or whatever on their phone. Yeah, or you used to have to turn the toaster sideways. Yes, or if there there was a car you could look in there rearview mirror or whatever and you're just a gym readjusting other people's rearview mirrors it was a different time you were

allowed to do that for sure do we want to get to know us oh yes John we were talking before the show about elves on shelves Of course I have a four-year-old And a two-year-old We didn't do it We didn't do elf on a shelf But you did

You did, yeah I have a three-year-old And so we thought it would be fun To have like a surprise entrance for the elf So while she was having a bath We placed it in the other bathroom And so we're sitting on the couch watching a movie and my wife and I go, what's that? Did you hear that?

In the other room. And so she, obviously a three-year-old thinks that an intruder is in the home. And so we try to get her to go over there and she just refuses. You investigate. Yeah, we're like, why don't you check it out? Just give her a little mini bat and we're like, why don't you check it out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just give her a little mini bat and we're like, here, you figure this out

and you see what's happening. And so, she would not, we, I had to go in the other room and have a fake conversation with the elf. Oh, it's an elf on the shelf.

Yeah, I yelled at it. I was just like, you get out of here. You stop scaring, you stop scaring her. And then we came back and we're like, he's gone now. So it's not a big deal. And then we tried it the next night in a much softer way.

And it worked out a little better. Wow. The thing about it is that you just run out of places to put it all the time. Tell me about it. You're supposed to move. You're supposed to put it in a new place every day. And you're just like. It's supposed to be that it's so it the it has locomotion it yes it won't you look emotion with me yeah uh and you go and you've

tried it like every morning you wake up and the kid has to go and find it because it goes back to santa every night to tell him that you've been a terrible person right or what other kids i didn't realize that he was traveling with this news i thought he was like had like a camera in his head or something that that makes more sense and but why is he just sitting there motionless all day what's i don't know if he's a living i mean toy story rules yeah yeah you're not allowed to touch him that's a huge thing it's if you touch him he loses his magic is that part of it yeah there's a there's a book that you're supposed to read every night and then yeah we we have that it's called the bible yeah that's what we read

every night what did it come with did it come with a little toy uh it came with oh my daughters are just like laden with rosary beads oh yeah yeah they just have like a palm print just a stippled palm print uh-huh um a three-year-old and a that's it that's a year old and two cats two cats very okay 12 and nine oh yeah that one's so fat i can't believe how fat she is the 12 year old no the younger one year old she is she's like a little tiny cat she's this little tiny pinhead and she would be she'd probably be a six pound cat but she bullies the big cat and takes all of his food and so he's quite thin and svelte and she is just massive huh this poor girl have you had these since kittens yes yeah yeah both like rescue cats

i get can you rescue a cat who rescued whom i don't know that also good question also can you rescue a cat if it doesn't give a shit if you're there like if it if you weren't there it would still probably be doing the exact same thing right that's giving it a roof i guess yeah and maybe a what a saucer of milk sure yeah sure which i think makes cats throw up constantly i don't know why that is the lower that's something that they like to do they'll never figure out why they throw up constantly science hasn't come that far maybe because they've maybe somebody's calling their cat super fat and they have body issues yeah and pinhead i hope she listens to this what uh

in the cat woman movies uh sure does okay did she like a saucer of milk i think i feel like maybe michelle pfeiffer did or michelle for sure did i think hallie berry would have had like a milkshake they would have they would have like yeah it was like 2001 it was muscle milk um i never saw the uh hallie berry cat woman anybody here nope no i feel like a lot of people have told me that it's one of those like it is so bad that it's good i don't know i don't understand that so i i watch bad movies i'm like nope just so bad just so bad that it's bad i started watching that gaudy movie oh yeah did you have you watched that no i'm saving it for a treat yeah it's the john travolta one yeah um and it was just boring yeah like i was i wanted it to be so bad like

because i i get the so bad it's good yeah but but it was just so bad it's bad it's just i don't i put it on and i like i was like oh i want to put a bad movie on that I don't have to pay attention to. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I'm lost. What's happening? Who are these people? This is just... I did have to pay attention.

That's no fun. I see why there's a lot of people involved in that movie. Like, I don't know that John got his story. They got actors for everything. They got a best boy. They got all kinds of... They got a whole crew. They got a gaffer in there?

No, they skipped the gaffer. They skipped the gaffer. They really saved a lot of money on that. Apparently, there's a couple of scenes that are out of focus. Huh. They like, they shot the whole scene and the main character is out of focus. You know what? I think John Travolta could be out of focus in most of his movies and I think we'd still

get by. How dare you? Wow. This is a Travolta positive podcast. Sorry, guys. Last week, I gave him a real good shout out for embracing his baldness on instagram he like he knows when to do it what is he 65 yeah yeah he's been not embracing it since greece too so like yeah he must have yeah

when did he start wearing because he's a toupee he was a toupee. He was a toupee man. Yeah. He was never a comb-over guy. He was like, he knew that something was coming, but I don't know when he. I thought it was his real hair in Hairspray. When he played the big fat woman? Yeah. It may have been. With the big. The big bouffant hair.

Bouffant hair no one could possibly have. If anyone was a cat woman, it was that woman with the bouffant hair no one could possibly have if anyone was a cat woman it was that woman with the bouffant hair yeah but i wonder like when i mean when do you decide like you're like i'm making the switch because people are gonna notice they're like you were thinning and now it's a full head of hair like one one day to the next yeah so it's it's a bold move uh i'm and what uh who was it jason alexander jason alexander who wears a toupee as though it's a hat like yeah puts it on as he's leaving the house but when he's feeling jaunty he just yeah he'll just adjust it to the side i the because there's all the new stuff have you seen like the tattoo

stuff that you can do um uh and i tell me more about this uh so basically they just i've this is the second time i'm going to bring up stippling for some reason yeah i don't know why uh well one time was when you were drawing pictures for the wall street journal of course no one really understood it um it's so it's they just tattoo dots on your head so you have to consistently shave your head to that length to make it look as though you have oh my god shaved head hair that's. I mean, the photos make it look really good and really interesting. Yeah. I mean, it just feels like over time

doesn't like, doesn't it fade? Yeah, the black usually turns green. Turns green. Yeah. I mean, you know, if you're a real punk rock type, you can get away from it. Or the Joker. Oh, man.

Hey. Hey. Ha ha ha. You know what? Hey, oh, I like chaotic things. Howacing would the joker have been with that laugh i've never understood the i under the joker's a great villain but he is a very insane person and people are like guys it's great and like they identify with him for some reason yeah he's not a good person there's like i saw the trailer for the new one and i was like do you need to create a movie that

you know uh mass shooters are like yes it's glorification somehow i mean it's just i feel like we haven't had a new joker since jared let years ago. That's true. And he was our most techno Joker. I thought Spider-Man was getting rebooted too much, but the Joker somehow has sidestepped him and now is being rebooted for two years. Yeah. And I saw a drawing. You'll see character artists will do a scene from Goodfellas. Or it'll be like Robert De Niro from Goodfellas and Tony Soprano all sitting around a poker table. So there was the four, it's like the four jokers.

I've already seen a post of the four jokers. But Cesar Romero, he's not one of the jokers. He wasn't on those. He went as far back as Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson. Mark Hamill, they do Mark Hamill. Oh yeah, voice of the joker. I think he far back as Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson. Mark Hamill. They do Mark Hamill. Oh, yeah. Voice of the Joker.

I think he's all the animated Joker voices. Yeah. And he's great. What about the TV show Gotham? Yeah. Was Joker on that? Yeah. Maybe.

Never watched it. I don't know. I don't know anybody that's watched it. And I feel like we've talked about- It's still on for some reason. Somebody's watching it. We've talked about Catwoman and the Joker. I don't know.

I'm not an expert on these things. I don't want people to... Like, any time we become a podcast where we're just talking about geek culture, there's other people who are more qualified to do this. But let's talk about off-roading. Let's talk about mutters. Well, John, how long have you lived down in L.A. for? Six and a half-ish. Let's talk about mutters Well John How long have you lived down in LA for?

Six and a half-ish Six and a half-ish Yeah it was six in August So whatever that math is I'm not a big math guy No me neither I'm more into geek culture Sure sure sure

Six and a couple cat women Oh boy yeah Hubba hubba Suck on some Some Saucers of milk Suck on them. Like a gogurt tube?

Yeah. How come gogurt milk tubes never really took off? Yeah. How come the Catwoman never, the Catwoman. Didn't have gogurt. Have a gogurt of warm milk. Just like a bandolier of gogurt milks. Body temperature milks.

That's how she sort of gets her powers. Yeah, what were her powers? Being cat-like? I think. Like a leather suit? Yeah, a leather suit. Does that count as a power? Purring.

Purring, yeah. Ultra purrs. Incorporating, you know, R's into a lot of her. Yeah. Kind of like Scooby-Doo. I assume that most of the movie was elongated ours. Yeah. Yeah.

Shitting in a box. Sure. These are all the things she does. Imagine. So that's a big part of the movie. She has to find like a big place that sells sand. Yeah. She's just constantly stopping at the schoolyards just to shit in their sandbox.

She's a person. She can buy a little kitty litter. Of course. Yeah. She doesn't a little kitty litter. Of course. She doesn't have to buy sand. I mean, but on the go, you know what I mean? Go stop at Home Depot, buy whatever people use to lay stepping stones. Yes, yes.

So, how do you like LA? I was going to say, I was like, we got off of it and then jumped right back into Catwoman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's the thrust of this podcast it's it's DC villains DC heroes

next week we'll probably do Marvel and then I guess that's it I guess those are the big two those are the big ones maybe a dark horse

there's image comics there's image sure yeah you know vertigo imprint dark horse yeah sure then we're out

yeah we're out to Casper I guess yeah yeah yeah Harvey Comics Heathcliff you guys got a Heathcliff episode in the chamber

he loved fish skeletons I guess that's a big thing back in the old comics is that all the cats were very poor and during the depression

and would just eat garbage fish yeah but a cat would eat a garbage fish now. I think. Even in these times of planting. Maybe?

I don't know. My cats have never come in contact with a fish. Why didn't the price of fish go down during the depression? Hmm. Why couldn't people just... I don't know. They were making so much money on the skeletons, they were just throwing away the rest of the fish.

What a wasteful time. No, just let me suck on that skeleton. Get the marrow out of those bones Suck on a couple of these saucers of milk Get a go-gurt of skeletons Okay Alright So you live in LA

Sure Got a kid Yep Tell us a tale of your time in LA What's new? What's new? What's it like for a Canadian in LA? It is the same

Nobody knows that I'm not one of them, which is great. Because no one's from LA all the time, so everyone's just an implant. So they just think I'm from Minnesota. Speaking of implants, check out these saucers. Suck on these saucers, you know what I mean? I bet it's going well. They think you're from Minnesota, do you think? Yeah, because I changed a lot of my language

Cause people would get confused It was Very striking When I He used to swear a lot All the fucking time Yeah I can swear right

Yeah I've sworn several times And I probably should have asked up front Um I It's not a podcast You don't complete your podcast Bingo card

Until someone says I can swear on this right Yeah yeah yeah That's a center square That's the Bruce Valanche Was he center square a podcast, you don't complete your podcast bingo card until someone says, I can swear on this, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a center square. That's the Bruce Valanche. Was he center square? No, Whoopi was. Whoopi was.

Who was before that? It was Paul, like in the, yeah, I was like, oh, Paul, I was like, there was a very catty man in the middle.

Yeah, he was like the original. Sort of a cat man. Kind of a cat man, yeah. Yeah, we're back on Catwoman again. Every time they would cut a tank he just sucked out a tube of milk what were the canadian language things you had to drop uh pencil crayons

was huge uh oh really yeah i used to tell it it's one of the biggest ones i would tell a joke with pencil crayons and people could not make that leap. I heard audible gasps and, huh? What is that? I guess it is. You can't figure it out. They call them colored pencils. Colored pencils.

But pencil crayon is a pretty... Do they not have Faber-Castell brand pencil crayons down there? I guess not. No Laurentians? No Laurentians? Come on, guys. Was Laurentian the one with the log cabin? Yeah.

Yes, and the white space In the middle Where you could write Your name on it I guess Yes Personalized God forbid you lose A light pink Laurentian Or whatever

Yeah the But like pencil crayon Was the craziest thing To call it Because it's not It's not a crayon It is all It's a colored

It is a colored pencil They got us They're 100% correct They got us dead to right But it was just the fact That it's like You canon it is all a color it is a colored pencil they got us a hundred percent but it was just the fact that it's like you can't make this leap with me you can't figure out exactly what i'm talking i don't know context yeah because we uh i would say a hundred percent of our audience is from america yeah so there are words that people will occasionally uh the words that stick out to some people oh sure and they're ones i would never consider uh being weird like uh uh parkade oh parkade oh parkade yeah and i am so familiar

with the word like a parking structure yeah okay yeah but like see like parkade to me that i think we nailed it because that's a name of a thing that's only one thing. Yeah. But a parking structure, that could be anything that you park in. Yeah, parking structure, parking garage, I think I would probably say. Is Parkade French? I think it's a play on arcade. Okay, all right.

It's basically a game of Frogger anyway. Yeah, and the other one is uh garbage disposal yes that we call a garburator yeah garburator right and it's not even a brand name we just it's i don't think it's a brand name i don't know um not that i know of i'm you know i'm pretty deep in the garbage disposal game yeah yeah i would know these things i'm about wrist deep in the garbage disposal game ah those things make the worst smoothies a couple weeks of weeks ago, I was with a bunch of American comics up in the Yukon, and they couldn't get over the name, you know, like a toque. They couldn't get.

But I was like, okay, on three, tell me what you call this hat. And they've all three of them had different names. Different names, right? Beanie, knit hat. Yeah. And I was like, well, toque is it, man. this hat and they all three of them had different different names right beanie yeah yeah and i was like well i took is it toke is one thing i refuse to lose i will still say that no matter how many people are confused by it but like refuse to lose confused got the two Jews and the Jews are here no no don't don't stop on our account i feel like i maxed out um yeah but for me but a beanie always meant like something uh a weird kid in the 40s would wear a propeller with the

propeller on top always and when i think of a beanie you are flying like a small helicopter yeah yeah yeah you're one of the huey dewey and or louis and you've got a little tiny little tiny hat on um they were the most jewish of all of all the ducktales yeah of all the they did live in duckburg just which is uh sounds like a pretty jewish town um yeah i guess now that i'm thinking just like pittsburgh the america's most Jewish town Yeah that's So you stuck with two Good for you Always

And Celsius I refuse to use Fahrenheit That must Actually I use Fahrenheit In the house And Celsius outside the house And I I cannot differentiate the two

If you tell If you tell me It's the exact same temperature Out As it is inside the house I'm still very confused i'm confused by what you're yeah yeah so i so if you um so if you tell me it's 72 degrees fahrenheit in your house and i know exactly what that is if you tell me it's 72 outside i can't dress for it i. I'm not, I'm unclear. Oh, I see. I don't know why, but I, it's a mental block. Well, no, I don't know how to dress for any temperature that falls like, like today it was 13.

So I'm like, what is that? Oh yeah. Is that a sweater? If it's raining, it's a jacket. Yeah. I don't wear, I don't wear like a, it's below if it's above 10 i try not to wear a jacket oh yeah and because especially if you have to walk more than 30 feet you're like i'm soaking wet yeah but then sometimes you do the like the scroll by of like the whole day and see

see what the the weather like where it's gonna dip to when it's gonna rain all that kind of stuff it's always wrong i don't know why i do it it. And it never knows if you're in the shade. Yeah. Because that's a completely different world. Yeah, maybe you catch a breeze. Now you got the shiveries. I, yeah, I mix,

like I use both all, like I metric system, I can take or leave it. I'm not a scientist. It makes so much sense but we as much as we are like a metric country we really did not grow up with a metric but abby's like my wife's parents uh i mean abby grew up in europe and her parents lived in europe for so long and they'll tell me oh yeah like oh it's like this many meters away or like something weighs this many kilos

and i'm i don't know i'm the only people who use metric for weighing our drug dealers oh yeah and they uh they are the smartest mathematicians i've ever met but they all but then they'll also throw it in an ounce sure yeah they're friendly mathematicians they're good good people They'll throw in an answer Yeah There you go And Like we A lot of our guests

Live in LA Are you Are you alright With the car culture Yeah What about Everybody What about burger culture

Yeah Is burger culture A big topic I mean it is It is hotly debated People love In-N-Out It's fine It's okay It's fine Yeah it's fine It's a good six dollar burger Is burger culture a big topic? I mean, it is hotly debated. People love In-N-Out. It's fine.

It's fine. Yeah, it's fine. It's a good $6 burger. It's a good half hour wait. Yeah, exactly. If you want to park your car three blocks away and order there, it's a great time to do that. Are people, do they enjoy it because it's like, because there's so many other people there enjoying it is it like everybody like a hive mind yeah is it a hive mind is it yes i don't know why i've only been once or twice and

it was yeah if you didn't tell me that it was a place but you're a vegetarian that's true yeah but uh no did you try the burger uh no i never tried. I had the whatever it was called, like animal style grilled cheese, basically. Oh, yeah, yeah. And, you know, the fries and the milkshake. The fries are not their shining feature. People do not. People get mad at the fries, like physically upset. Well, why?

Why do they keep making the fries that way? They've been doing it for so long. Just why don't they make a side salad? Yeah, they refuse to change. Baked potato. Why not chili? Remember when Wendy's

was like, we're making chili now and everyone's like, what? No, I don't remember that. I remember Wendy's has always had chili

and it's always been great. When I was a kid, there was no chili. It's Tim Hortons that will throw you a curveball with chili. They're getting a little out of their comfort zone,

I think. Stay in your lane, Timmy's. And their lane being coffee and donuts. Donuts, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It has become kind of just like a sandwich shop. But why did they not go to hamburgers? Why did they stop Shishai?

I can't explain that restaurant. I don't know. Restaurant is such a bold statement. Do you guys do rezos here? Yeah. But yeah,

like, but is the consensus that the fries are bad at this place? Yes. So then why don't they change the fries to make them good?

I don't know. I feel like people don't want to rock the boat, so they're just not telling. There's no comment cards. It's just when you talk to people.

You're a vegetarian. You'll eat fries anywhere, though. You don't care if they're cooking right next to an ox. Yeah, I prefer to be cooked right next to an ox. What do you think are your best fast food fries?

I think the best going right now I really like A&W's fries A&W gets a bad rap And they're a good Why do they get a bad rap? I don't know Maybe They're different in the states though

Maybe A&W is like a different Do you know what A&W stands for? I don't I was going to take a guess And I was like I don't even What were you going to tell you?

Have the improv chops. It stands for hamburgers and whoop beer. I liked that more than I should have. I mean, I only took the pause because I know our listeners

had to get their boners ready. They're dabbing their bingo card now. It's not going to do the A&W joke. But I didn't know they had a bad a bad rep it's the fries are fine

I think they're I mean they're better than Burger King better than KFC I think McDonald's McDonald's I'm saying McDonald's I mean I'll go

and so consistent and that's for and this is the podcast about chain restaurants of course yeah DC Marvel Villains and chain restaurants. Of course, yeah. DC, Marvel Villains, and chain restaurants. But yeah, like Wendy's on a given day could be great, but some days not.

It dependies on the Wendy's for sure. Oh boy, this guy. Oh yeah. He's a mathematician. He's dependies on the Wendy's. Did you say mathematician? Didn't you say mathematician? No, I wish that I had used that term

oh when you were talking about drug dealers using nope your scorecard has to be adjusted you got a point well I think our listeners will you ever see that on Jeopardy where the person is given an answer and they don't get the point

and then they have to kind of apologize after the commercial break and say, Oh, it turns out that you were close enough with that. And so we've adjusted your, that's very humble of them. I think it's, have you seen it the opposite way where they take points away?

Yeah. That's the worst. It's just like, just give them the points. Like, and it's always, you guys messed up. It's always coming back from commercial break.

Yeah. And so it's always like right before the second round or final jeopardy. So they're like, I don't have that money to bid with now. Yeah. I wonder if anyone's been knocked out of the final round because they were not that took them down. I mean,

they should sue. Absolutely. Hmm. Yeah. Refs in there looking at the footage. Yeah. Give me $200, you asshole. But I like that they're big enough to admit their mistake.

Of course. You know. Very nice of them. But if they make a mistake, yeah, the contestant should win that money. Yeah. In cash. Right on the table. Right, yeah.

Aleister Beck should have to take it out of his own wallet. I assume he has like 12 grand on him at all times Oh I wonder I would love that game like how much does any given Celebrity carry in cash At any given time I love the internet for celebrity network Yeah

Are we guessing? I mean there's a bunch of bills in there There's a couple of bills he's counting Um Can we get like a question or two each? I mean, there's a bunch of bills in there. There's a couple of bills he's counting. Can we get like a question or two each? Okay, you can get five questions each. Is it an odd number? No.

Okay. Okay, even. Even. All right, all right. So that rules out. Oh, it doesn't necessarily rule out. Rule out's half of the numbers available in the all of numbers. I know, but like if you're thinking I have one $5 bill, I could have two $5 bills. That's true.

I don't think I've ever reached on the question. Yeah. I sort of had one and that was it. It was a good one. You gave us five, which was very generous of you. Well, I think it's ridiculous. To prolong this dumb thing. I'm going to say $45.

No, $40 because you said it wasn't even. By the way, you don't win it. Oh, well, why are we even playing? What are we even doing here? I'm leaving. $60. I'm going to say $60. Let's count with me.

$1. $1. That's a $20. $1.20. $1. 60. Let's count with me. One. That's a 20. One 20. Two 20s. Oh! So I don't win the money, but I do win the bragging rights. It's respect, and that's worth more than money.

Also exposure. What celebrity do you think carries the most cash? Oof. I would say a boxer. I was going to say a rapper or basketball player. Okay. But boxers. I'm also thinking like somebody very old school.

I'm thinking of somebody like Willie Nelson is somebody that I picture carrying an enormous amount of cash. I assume that all of his cash just goes to weed. And I just assume he has like a duffel bag full of weed. I yeah maybe i'm wrong with i say my wallet out floyd well let's guess how much you have pretty embarrassing is it more or less than 40 less than 40 okay i'm sorry less than 40 uh 20 you got it nice um that's it i yeah like you don't need it i feel like i feel so bad now seeing homeless people asking for change because i never like i never break a 20 oh i just don't carry cash anymore that all the cards you can just tap them on everything and you're good to go yeah yeah i saw oh i saw the saddest thing uh i was coming out of one of the whatever one

of the train stations here and there was a one of the saddest looking homeless woman it was very very jarring she had like a black eye it was very very sad and then next to her was people handing over wads of cash to girl guides for cookies and i, this is, you guys couldn't have done this in a different place. Like, this is not very nice. Yeah. And, uh, it would be like, but the Girl Guides

also had black eyes. Yeah. That's also true. Who do you think? There was a turf war. Why do you think she got that black eye? Um,

I, uh, the other night. Is that another, by the way, Canadianism? Girl Guide? Turf war?

Oh, girl guide? Yeah. Yeah. It's girl scouts. Oh. And I assume that your American listeners are going to take umbrage with this, but your cookies are not good. Their cookies are no good.

They are waxy. And I think girl guide cookies are the best. And we get family to bring them down every time they come. We just have the two, right? Yeah. The white and the dark and now they a turkey

it's a turkey of cookies there was a comedian I was at a show on name names his name is

Brad McNeil past guest of the show and he had brought girl guide cookies because he has a daughter sold I think he sold all of them within let's say four minutes of the show. And he had brought girl guide cookies because he has a daughter. I think he sold all of them within let's say four minutes. Like when they're there and you have

cash in your pocket. Of course. That's five dollars. That's an instantaneous transaction. John Mulaney desk piece he did on SNL like ten years ago about the business model for the Girl Scouts of like you we make the

the most delicious cookies that everyone wants and you need to work in the office with someone who's good at selling you can't buy them all year you can buy them one time

yeah yeah and the fact that they that they've kept it so that it's only a part of the year like cause then you do kind of forget about them

it's like the McRib it is like the McRib like It is like the McRib. Like, imagine, like, they make their nut for that time. Yeah. Imagine them selling them all year round, like a storefront.

Yeah, it would be like a good idea. Yeah. Why don't they do it? Why would they not sell to major grocery chains? But then Boy Scouts. Boy Guide cookies. Boy Guide. The old Boy Guide.

They don't have anything that's equivalent they never what do they contribute to society contribute to society the uh being prepared being prepared uh you know pocket knives pocket knife um safety uh you know whittling i'm sure right the pocket goes wallet making uh fire starting fire starting yeah R.I.P. the guy from the prodigy you know I was talking

to somebody who was like a younger guy who's going to a music festival and the prodigy was supposed to be playing there

and they are not going to be playing there and he said and the fill in band is some band from the 80s I've never heard of them the cult

and I was like yeah they're huge they are they literally have a cult following yeah you uh once uh once again the mathematician strikes again here we go it's called dr glass um was he a good villain I deep DC cut old Dr. Glass wasn't he a Shyamalan yeah he was a Shyamalan

Mr. Glass oh right he didn't quite finish yeah his brother went to school did you see that new did they ever release that new

the new what no they just only put out a trailer and they were like we're gonna sit on it until you guys are ready until you beg for it to beg for it.

I just saw it's already out for rent. Oh, really? It passed me over. I was like, when was this even in theater? Passover. Oh, sure.

And that's the time. The, yeah, I mean, I haven't seen it. Will I see it? Yeah. It's got Bruce Willis in it.

I get it. It's a Christmas movie. It's got Bruce Willis in it. I get it. It's a Christmas movie. It's got Bruce Willis in it. Exactly. Speaking of guys who need toupees. Do you think? No. He's been bald for so long.

He needed a toupee in Die Hard. Absolutely. No one told him. Do you think? I think so. He wore a toupee in The Sixth Sense. That was right around the time he went shaving. Oh, okay.

Because he probably looked at himself and said, there's no way I'm doing this. Because he had like the Bill Murray in Die Hard. Yeah. He had the like. The way back Widow's Peak. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You say no? No, I don't think that's a good look.

I think that's a classic Bruce Willis look. Maybe, I mean, I feel like that was an 80s look. Yeah. For some reason. I don't know why. No, no, I agree. It was in the 80s, right? It was the 80s.

Yeah, it was the 80s. 88. for some reason. I don't know why. It was in the 80s, right? It was the 80s. That is a movie that has never... It is revered as one of the best screenplays ever written. It is a heavy favorite.

It's just not been ever a favorite of mine. And I like action movies. It's your opinion. Yeah. My mom loves it. It's her favorite Christmas movie. I just don't want people to write you because it's just your opinion, man. Guys, leave me alone. Please don't write me. Um,

it's, uh, I didn't see it until very late in my life. I'm by the way, I'm dying. Oh no. Oh boy. Uh,

I didn't see it until I was in my thirties. Uh, but it, it, I, I appreciate it. Did it hold up? I think so.

Yeah. You respected it, but yeah. Did you like it? It's fun. Yeah. I think I liked it. that's the best way to put it you know it looks like it looked like they were having a lot of fun out there yeah yeah i like commitment you know really committed i re-watched it uh around christmas sure and uh the thing that i like that they do that i don't think I've ever seen in another movie is that they give all of the henchmen like a thing. Everybody, every henchman has a thing and there's no like anonymous henchman.

There's like the one that's got a sweet tooth. The blonde haired guy. Yeah, there's a guy. There's a guy with a brother. There's a guy that wears glasses. There's a hacker henchman. There's a hacker henchman. The guy whose gun has a nickname or whatever.

Talks to his gun. Hey, Hollywood, how about a henchwoman? Oh, good call. That's the real problem. It's an old movie. 88. But the next Die Hard, how about a henchwoman? And, you know what?

Next Terminator, how about a French woman? Yeah, a French woman. Yeah. Why not? Dave, what's going on with you, man? Well. french woman yeah why not uh dave what's going on with you man well um although the one thing about die hard that strikes always leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that it takes place god someone's gonna correct me takes place on christmas eve and why would you have an

office christmas party on christmas eve sure right yeah um i don't know because you're a terrible boss hence the movie terrible bosses the die hard sequel uh but and that's that's something that happens in every christmas episode of tv shows where it's like uh it's christmas eve time to put up the tree yeah all right oh no i gotta go shop for my kids now it's like you're a bad parent yeah like there's there's time for this. You don't do all your deck. After Halloween, people are begging you to gear up for Christmas. Do you guys not have Black Friday or Amazon?

What's the problem with you? Those are Americanisms. We don't understand. You guys. We've got canoe.ca. Sure. A real website. Which is not affiliated with kayak. you would think it would be but it's not i haven't thought about what was canoe.ca like news it was i think it was just a general search

sure have you ever checked out paddleboat.au we were talking about gumtree the australian craigslist last oh really they have one of their own? Yeah. They got a different word for everything. They got a whole thing down there. So, here's what's going on with me. God. Oh, God. This is about geek culture. Oh, yes.

Yeah. We're back, baby. So, Abby's parents took care of our kids last week. How nice was that? I guess a week and a half ago now. For how long? A week. You guys were gone for a whole week?

The kids were gone. We were here. Oh, boy. And this just became the house that tequila built. Oh, boy. This thing just reeked like a DUI. Just stunk. And so one thing I did, I never go to movies, but I was like, I'm going to a movie.

There's nothing I want to see. Yeah. Us wasn't out yet. Yeah. So I went to see Captain Marvel. Oh, yes. And I haven't seen a Marvel movie since Iron Man 2. Yeah.

I just rewatched that one. Arguably the worst one. Yeah. I liked it. I have no problem sure yeah it's it is what it is i all of these movies it very much is a robot based sequel so all of these movies i i they're just not for me sure i have no uh deeper criticism but i think i kind of uh like pin down exactly what it is I don't like about superhero movies.

Running in boots. Ah, running in boots. I don't care how cool the rest of your costume is, how fast you're supposedly, you don't look good running in boots. And it's not like you've had those boots for three or four years and they're all worked in. No. These are brand new boots. These are brand new boots. Suit you bought. Yeah boots and it's male

female all characters yeah the thing that's weird about any action movie is I'd watch them with my dad when I was growing up and he's a runner and he would always point out who knows how to run and who doesn't

in every action movie that's the only guy who knows how to run and who doesn't in every action movie. That's the only guy who knows how to run properly. Yeah. I look for it every single time that I watch a movie. I'm like, these people don't, they don't run. And because they're wearing boots. Less so in boots. Yeah.

Have you, either of you seen the movie? Captain Marvel? Yeah. No. It takes place in the nineties. Oh. And they really lean on that. Yeah.

Quite a bit. Is there a shot of me in overalls? A shot of you. John and overalls. A shot of me in overalls and a blown out trucker cap. It's like there's like. A lot of 90s music. A lot of.

Yeah. Oh, so many 90s music. Yeah. And like wearing like Nirvana shirts. And the 90s is not old enough to go back to and like also in the 90s it's almost 30 years old people didn't buy all new gear january 1st 1990 no that's true there was still a fearless gloves and whatever but not every 80s car was destroyed. Yeah, it's funny because like, you're right, there's always a hold over time where it's like, it's still very the 80s. It's like, well, not even like it still feels like the 80s.

Like I still have, I own things that are 20 years old. I own things that are 20 years old, and when I go outside wearing them, people aren't like, whoa, man, throwback. Like, oh, those are good shoes. Those have held up. I just bought a timeless cut. Is that a problem here? It's a good coat.

But it's like when they're making a nostalgic film and that's the whole thing it's like let's put as much nostalgia and just jam pack every frame with it so what else was there that was 90s that was like very like uh-huh i know there's a scene in a blockbuster there is a scene in a blockbuster how many times did they mention grunge they mentioned grunge non-stop every every dead lead singer was mentioned. Carson Daly's constantly on the television. Scott Weiland. You want jam on your toast? How about pearl jam on my toast?

That seems forced. Also, that means cum. Oh, it is? I've never in my life put that together until you said it, and it makes perfect sense. Yeah. I only realized it a couple years ago because i remember there was some story that pearl jam was like one of the band

members had a grandmother named pearl who made like jam that was you know psychedelic or had drugs in it in some way pearls jam's Jam. Yeah. I doubt it. But yeah, everyone's faxing each other in the movie. Oh, yes. Yes. They're all

Blocky cell phone? There are CDs in it. Okay. And Was Columbia House mentioned? Captain Marvel is a Columbia House description. Captain Marvel

has to get like the whole movie she's trying to find a penny. Yeah. So she can get eight CDs. A bunch of Dishwalla CDs Tell me all your thoughts on God Yeah so I went to see that movie

Wasn't for me And I I knew it going in But I thought I was ready to be won over yeah but no but no it wasn't none of the marvel none of it you know i'm not gonna no spider-man no avengers why sure all right fair enough they're like i end up watching also like this one was under two hours i think that's maybe what drew me oh that's a that's a good length. Or near two hours. Yeah.

I was talking to my parents, and they're like, we're huge Marvel fans. And I was like, this is blowing my mind. And they're like, we watch all the movies. And then. They're like, we took all your old comic books out of the garbage, and we put it back in their Mylar sleeves. We put our cinders back together. And then I was mentioning Doctor Strange. And and they said who's that i was like well i don't think of fans as you thought you were my parents are big into uh 90s looney tunes

cool like kind of you know a gangster yeah very hip the quintessential vision of my dad is him sitting shirtless on his lazy boy wearing a pair of blown out Harley Davidson Tasmanian Devil Boxer shorts. That is like, when I think of my dad, it's him watching hockey wearing that exact outfit. Nice. I like that they're blown out. Oh, yeah. They are not in good shape. Also, you call that an outfit. I guess the lack of an outfit, the opposite of an outfit, I suppose.

Yeah. But, you know, it's fun to go to the movies. Absolutely. Popcorn's great. Popcorn is great. The trailers are fun. Yep. Walking out of a movie theater and seeing what time of day it is when you walk out, that's always fun.

Your eyes just hurting and adjusting to the rest of it. Different than when I came in. The worst is when you go in during twilight and then you come out at night and you're like, how long have I been in there? It just feels like you've been gone

for a day and a half. What's up with you? This, over the past few days, I went to Brandon Manitoba. Boy, you are A comedian on the go Boy oh boy Yukon

Brandon King Brandon is the most Yeah the Weave Kings They're out of the playoffs But you know what Are they a team? Yeah I only know the

Tragically Hip song Is that What is it based on? I don't know I don't That's a good question I mean I don't like to go And you know

I like to let the lyrics Kind of just mean what they mean yeah yeah uh but they're a junior hockey team yeah and uh uh the hotel that uh maybe the eastern most team in the western hockey league i think that sounds right sure um you know they're in the same league as the hitmen so i just i wouldn't want to be in the same league As the Hitmen So I just I wouldn't want to be In the same league As the Hitmen

I'll tell you that Nope But the Wheat Kings Are fine of course And you know We wish them the best Maybe they'll make The playoffs next year

I wish his Wheat Kings You're doing great But the hotel I stayed in Was It was the Kind of most Classic hotel

That Like a B bunch of junior hockey teams would stay in sure it had a uh interior courtyard with a pool so like the rooms looked out into oh yeah into a oh boy yeah yeah yeah like I was like this really everything smells like chlorine oh yeah as soon as you walked in the hotel just smells like chlorine. Oh yeah. As soon as you walked in, the hotel just smells like chlorine. And I was like, this is where kids like, this is a magnet for hockey teams.

And so it was just like, I remember, I remember that type of. Yeah. A bunch of rough housing, I assume was going on in the pool. Yeah. There was very little.

I was surprised. Yeah. I was hoping for more rough house. More horseplay was some horseplay yeah sure um what uh were you doing there uh i was uh there with the the debaters aha they were taping it uh in brandon and um uh we were using we had a rental car and uh you didn't buy a car and sell it on your way out? We kind of thought about it, but we were like... Drop two Gs? Yeah, it makes more sense to rent. In this case.

Other times it makes more sense to buy. I drop two Gs in the morning. I drop two Gs at night. It's like the mirror situation. You see yourself in the morning. You see yourself maybe at night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're lucky.

If you're a house that had light privileges during the evening. Light privileges. Lights out. Gorilla radio. We are a rage against the machine house. But the satellite navigation system, not great. They're great on highways. Once you get into the small town roads it kind of doesn't know

what to do with itself you had a dedicated satellite system in the car yeah and you were not using your phone no this was this was in the car okay either way you didn't have a dedicated satellite in the in space that was dedicated to your car i think we did i think that's how it worked yeah um millions of satellites up there just bumping into each other no but yeah it was the car's system okay and uh and so like we punched in the address of the hotel and uh we're driving and it just took us on the most bizarre route and then told us our destination was we got to the city dump and it said, you were at your destination. What was it?

Did you figure out what the problem was? It was the road. There was two roads with the same name. One was North and one was just regular. So, you know, Prince Albert Street and Prince Albert Street North was where we ended up. And then it did it two or three more times during the trip where it just circled the dump for a good

four hours. Where it would just like, it would be like, okay, take this crazy square route and then to... What's the square route? We never figured it out. But it would take you to somewhere where you couldn't then, there was just like a barricade.

And the satellite doesn't know that there's a barricade there. There's protesters. Keep going, Graham. Keep going, Graham. Yeah. So it was fun. Fun to explore a new town. You know?

And then on the flight back, I sat next to, I want to say, the worst behaved kid I've ever seen on a plane. And not a kid that was crying, because I understand that goes hand in hand with the air travel. Little babies, their ears are popping. Pressure. It goes hand in hand with babies. Yeah. Exactly. How old was this kid?

This kid was like, you know, four. And jumping up and down, kicking the seat in front of him, spitting on everything. Sure. Yeah. His mom. Yeah. He was terrible. And his mom.

And I was like, also, his mom was terrible. Like, he's just being a kid. And she was not. She was not. Curbing it at all. Not at all. How? Were you on Chuck E. Cheese Airlines where a kid can be a kid?

Oh, yeah. That's right. That's. I think it's Chuck E. Cheese. Is that Chuck E. Cheese Airlines Where a kid can be a kid? Oh yeah That's Chuck E. Cheese Yeah, Toys R Us is I Don't Wanna Grow Up I'm a Toys R Us kid Have you been to Chuck E. Cheese lately? Yeah, yeah, yeah, all the time I'm allowed to go there I'm legally allowed You pay for pizza and you're allowed to go in

You're not allowed in without a kid anymore They have very specific rules That's a shitty rule they stamp your hand and they stamp your kid's hand and they have to match up your stamps before you leave this might be maybe the turkey cheese i went to but uh i assume that it was in molesterton sure sure sure are there kids that have dead be deads that are all waiting outside for some dude who wants to just go and play skee-ball? Team up, you know? Are there kids who are like, get me into the Chuck E. Cheese? I'll pretend to be a kid.

I'll pretend to be a kid. Give me a big lolly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I adopted him. You just adopt an adult? Yeah. You adopt me so we can go in there. In a similar way.

There were these two guys who did that and their names, Dave and Buster. That's how they came up with their idea for their. Oh, yeah. You can play skee-ball out of Dave and Buster. Yeah. If you're an adult, you can just go. You can buy video games. You could literally buy a skee-ball machine.

Yeah. Well, no, but like you can go to literally any store and play their skee-ball machine as a grown-up. Sure. Skee-ball everywhere. Pop a shot, all you want. Oh, man.

Just me missing threes all day with a waste of money. Yeah, so that was my little travel jaunt. Do you like rental cars?

I mean, here's what I like. And the podcast is finished. We have run out of time. Here's what I like about a rental car finished We have run out of time Here's what I like About a rental car Is that They

Think that I care at all About This car That They're like Do a walk around And make sure That it's fine

Nope No you do a walk around To make sure They don't charge you for Like So you can point out any Yeah I'm like You do that

You walk around I'll stand here You walk'm like, you do that. You walk around. I'll stand here. You walk around. I'm not walking around. You walk around. You look. You tell me. You report to me.

Yeah, but then you want to be able to point out everything that's wrong so that you don't get dinged for ding. I want that guy to do it. Yeah, you don't work there. You don't work at Enterprise. Yeah, but you walk around. You walk at Enterprise. Yeah. You walk around. You walk around What I love about rental cars is the incremental, like, my car is from 2006.

So just every year, whatever a standard rental car gets better and better and better. And whatever it was like a super feature in 2006, it's just totally, like, every

car has a reverse camera now. That's true. And a built-in hot tub. Did you know that? All the new cars have it. And a ski ball. And car has a reverse camera now. That's true. And a built-in hot tub. Did you know that? All in all, the new car is a key ball. And there's a bunch

of Wheat Kings in the back roughhousing. That's how it goes. You've got to pay extra for that. That's the upgraded version. Oh, that is. That's not standard?

No, no, no. That's the upgraded version. Extra $30 a day. Yeah. Oh, and the great thing about traveling at this moment is my parents, my parents, uh, very kindly for Christmas, got me access to the Air Canada lounge. Whoa.

You just buy access instead of. Like you get a card. Oh, okay. And then you just like. So you don't have to fly first class or anything? No, no, no. You just have to be flying. Oh.

You have to be flying Air Canada. I like that a lot. You go in the lounge and, uh and people act shitty in the lounge. It's crazy. People act shitty everywhere. It's unbelievable how bad people act at airports in the public area, in the nice lounge area. What are the perks of the lounge? I've been in a few.

Free food. Free booze. Wait, free food? Free whatever you want food? Well, whatever they have. Meals? Like a spread. Okay.

Like a small buffet? Small, yeah. And then... Cereals? They got cereals, eggs. Sure. Sausages. Ooh.

Good breakfast situation. Yeah. I mean, that's during breakfast. During lunch, got flatbreads. Ooh. Yeah. I mean, it depends on the airport. Some...

Boy does it. The Brandon, Manitoba airport doesn't have a great buffet. Is that what you're telling me? When I went to the one in Winnipeg, the woman offered me a hard-boiled

egg. I was like, oh, that seems like a very specific thing to me. Yep. These are the

eggs you couldn't sell a couple of weeks ago. This guy wants a hard-boiled egg. Check this out.

They do eggs, and then they do hard-boiled eggs, and then a week later they do pickled eggs. It's also a good place to get regional business magazines. Yes.

Sure. Yeah. Combine monthly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a big window segment. Yeah, but it's nice. It is nice. Those lounges are nice, but people ruin them.

Sure. Yeah. But it makes it, like, sometimes, if you ever travel with someone who's like, oh, like, let's just get there. Like, do they want to wait till the last minute to go? Yeah. And I'm always like, let's get there five hours early. Yeah. A lounge makes it like, oh, yeah, let's totally.

Let's hang out. Let's hang out. We can lounge there. Yeah. It's for lounging. You can read read a book you can get some work done yeah with a kid it's different though i feel like oh yeah you don't because you're just like okay we're just gonna run around for three hours is that what we're gonna do yeah i'm talking about kidlessly yeah kidless kidless traveling what a way to travel have you had to travel with your kid? Oh, I'll do. Yeah. We, yeah, we take trips because all my family's back in

Ontario. Is your kid American? She is American. Yeah. So she's always like, what's a park? Yeah. She's always like,

what's a pencil crayon? You idiot. So yeah, we travel quite a bit. We probably travel home a couple of times a year, depending on where we go. We'll go back and visit like my brother-in-law

in calgary and then we'll go back and visit family but it's getting to the point where we're just like we'll pay for you guys to come out so we don't have to go on a plane i'd rather pay let's go to hollywood adventure yeah i'd rather just pay my parents to fly than to get on a plane for even two minutes yeah just to carry a car seat on an airplane and to travel with that is like the biggest nightmare. Yeah. Well, why don't like do rental car places, do they rent car seats as well? They do. Yeah.

They do? Okay. But there's no, I don't know if there's any testing of that or I don't know how old their stuff is. They make an old guy go out and walk around it. Yeah. Walk around the car seat. See this lump on the car seat? That was there when we got it.

I don't care. I don't. I trust their car seat. See this lump on the car seat? That was there when we got it. I don't care. I don't. I trust their car seat. Yeah, you do? I don't put my kids in a car seat because they need it. Yeah, I put it because it's the law. Yeah. Because the cops tell me to.

Constantly. I'm constantly getting tailed. Just flashlights in your eyes. It's a car seat situation in here. I got one. It's good, sir. It's good. Your kid's not in it, though.

Yeah, well. You tell her. Arrest her. Yeah. Get out your tiny cuffs. They're to the fullest. She's slippery. Oh, boy.

Two days ago, before I left LA, I was driving back and I saw a gentleman take off his sunglasses and look at them, realize they were dirty, and dump a can of Sprite on them to clean them. And I thought it was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. It's not soda water. Not at all.

It's not like, oh, I spilled wine on my shirt. Here, I'll get a Sprite. All I got is Mountain Dew. If it was the bottle of soda I'll get a Sprite. But it was... All I got was Mountain Dew. Well, that... If it was the bottle of soda or the bottle of Sprite, I would have been like, oh, maybe he refilled the bottle

with water. Yeah, no one does that with a can. I was like, no one refills a can with water to drink out of it. Would people, if there was some sort

of can cork that you could buy... Can cork? We have one of those. To reseal a can? Yeah. To reseal a can. It was like a little rubber stopper, and then you would flip a handle down, and it would seal it.

Yeah. This is a thing that exists. It very much exists. Wow. You know what they've done instead? They've just made smaller cans. Sure. Yeah.

Yeah, that's, I guess that's a problem solved. That's like, I mean, the kid in me hates it, but as a grown-up, I'm like, oh, that's perfect. I don't want much of anything. And the kid in you is like, look at how gigantic your hands are. Holding that tiny kid. You have $30? Yeah, the kid in you has got all sorts of questions. Imagine what you could do.

What are you doing with that woman? Let's talk friendship for a minute. Can we talk friendship for a minute? Let's talk. The kid in me is like, you have access skeeball at all times of course i feel like we've really played up that kids like skeeball no yeah like i think uh a kid from pre-arcade times well it's and me i love skee it's a pay-to-play sport like It's something you couldn't get good at without paying out of pocket. There's no practicing skeeball at school.

You'd have to build your own skeeball machine, which I feel like not a lot of parents would invest the time in. Wouldn't that be amazing if that was a unit in gyms? Skeeball? Just kids with these jacked forearms. So many tickets. Still pays tickets.

Still pays tickets, yeah. What does this get us? Out of detention, I guess? I don't know. Yeah. What am I supposed to do with this? You still get those parachute men, those little tootsie rolls? No, you go to the principal's office, whatever he's confiscated over the year, you can buy

it back with tickets. Bunch of knives. Yeah. I went to a rough school. Butterfly knives. I went to a rough school. I mean, what else are they confiscating? Just distractions? knives. Yeah. I went to a rough school. Butterfly knives. I went to a rough school. I mean, what else are they confiscating? Just distractions?

Yeah. Gum. Gum if you didn't bring enough for everyone. Gum? That was, I never understood that. Did you bring enough for everybody? I did. We went to Costco, so everyone gets gum.

I got a 60-pack of Mentos gum here. You want some of this? Okay, teacher. I remember having to give up gum that i had not snuck in i thought i was allowed to have it why would you not be allowed to have it how is it a distraction in any way if anything it helps you concentrate right that's true those uh those little comics they made you look really close made you laugh really hard reading that was uh you could have done a book report on one of those. On the Bazooka Joe? Yeah. Was it Double Bubble that had PUD?

Yeah. Terrible. Double Bubble was PUD. It was awful. And now Bazooka Joe, they don't have it anymore. It's just trivia now. Well, what's the point? But PUD's still out there.

But it's all trivia about the comic. Yeah, it's like, in episode number 372. Remember when Bazooka Joe got a paper route? That was fun. Like, this isn't even trivia anymore. This isn't even trivia anymore Was that fun? Yes or no? Maybe so

Personal preferences instead of trivia Was that fun? Snakes For or against? Sometimes for, sometimes against Why did I buy this gum? Dave, do you have an over? Yeah, mine's an overseen i feel like this is a

very canada heavy episode very geek culture heavy yeah canada heavy and probably because we're you know comparing it to america the canadian side comes out a lot more uh but i was uh just on tv on TV the other day. Big Brother was on. Oh, yeah. The reality show? Yeah, it's a reality. It's not scripted, is it? No, it's not scripted, but as a reality show now,

I feel like reality shows, it's come a long way, baby. Reality game show, maybe? Yeah, kind of a competition show. I guess all game shows are reality shows. Yeah, damn it. it jeopardy is real people but i was yeah it was on big brother was on it and i was like it's so it's so like

shabbily made it's just like people in a house whispering that i couldn't tell if this if i was like normal, they should just change the name. It's called whisper house. Like, ah, we need a better hook for this. I think, but it's, um,

uh, like, uh, if something's a Canadian show, you can tell that you're like, okay, this is the Canadian, but on big brother Canada,

I can't tell if I'm watching the Canadian version or the American. Does that say great things about the Canadian production or bad things about the American production? It says it's a pretty low baseline. Sure. Yeah. So I, but my overseen is someone's sort of name key that came up at the bottom of the screen that made me, that let me realize, made me realize that this is the Canadian version. And the name key that came up just said, Damien, goalie coach. Yeah.

There you go. There you go. Very specific. This guy's job is easy. Professional goaltender coach. Those who can't stop pucks teach. That's basically how it works out. Can't stop pucks teach. That's basically how it works out. Can't stop pucks.

You teach pucks. Yeah. Big Brother's like, it could have shown up in that Captain Marvel movie. It's been on so long. No, not quite. But like. Almost. Almost.

I would say mid-90s. No. It was post-Survivor. Oh, okay. I was dating a girl when was post-survivor. Oh, okay. I was dating a girl when I was probably 15 or 16. Oh, that's cool. Well, you must have been quite a hunk. No big deal.

Dated a couple girls in high school for a long time. Nice. Nice. Yeah. Maybe you're thinking about the lofters. I can guarantee you I am not thinking about the lofters. Okay, big brother. I'm always thinking about the lofters okay big brother I'm always thinking

about the lofters when did it start huh huh huh 40 bucks the series okay well it started

well I don't know I don't know how we were waffling on okay okay sorry no I was I was hesitant because the first year that came up in the Wikipedia was 1997,

but I don't think you were watching the Dutch version. Ah. You'd be surprised. Oh. The TV series was bought by CBS in early 2000. Oh, really? Premiered on July 5th, 2000. So what the hell were you watching?

Yeah. What was the other? Is there another house one? Yeah. The Lofters. No! That was just a smaller version until they upgraded to a duplex or whatever.

Do you remember The Lofters? Not at all. It was a Canadian. It was u8tv.com. Yeah, it was before Big Brother came over. And it was on the... You might have been watching The Real World. That was on.

No, I'm trying to think. I was like, when did I date this girl? Because she was very much into. She was 15. So I probably. I was 32. She was just 17. If you know what I mean.

Situation. What do you mean? She was just 17. If you know what I mean. What? What do you mean? Yeah. Just say it.

Say your pervy thing. No, no, no, no. That she was 16 the day before this song was written. I don't think anyone as an adult has written a song about dating a teenager. I don't think any musicians ever dated a child. That's true. No Elvis. No Jerry Lee Lewis.

No. Jerry Lee Lewis. Dated his cousin. His telethon Saved a lot of kids The killer Is he the killer? I don't know

What do you mean? Is that his nickname? Oh I don't know That's a terrible nickname Especially if you're Dating kids You're already committing a crime You're already

No no no I just murdered people I didn't date kids My nickname Not what you'd think it would be. I like how I keep saying date kids like as a romantic affair. It was all. Let's not even.

I'm sorry I brought it up. Let's get back to Catwoman. My overheard. I love deep culture. You got it. My overheard is there was a guy and a gal getting on the bus the gal really ran for the bus the guy was already at the stop uh she uh sat behind me he sat in front of me then he got up and went over to her and said hey uh excuse me there uh really liked your hustle out

there i'm uh i'm a dj and sometimes i uh host events and uh anyways here's my card and she's like oh okay thanks because she had hustled for the bus i don't know she should she's worthy of event djing yeah what kind of events i don't know he was wearing a BC Lions jersey and a matching hat. So he was all in one color, which is orange. And he was very specifically talking about her hustle to get to on the bus. And he was like, yeah, I really liked your hustle out there. You know what? I like it when people do the hustle to my music.

Yeah, anyways, here's my card. And learn the hustle and maybe you'll give me a call. Did she seem into it or polite? Polite. Very polite. I was just going to say. No, you are correct. We were all inferring polite, but I just wanted to make sure.

Yeah, polite in the way that women have to be to try to keep themselves safe. To DJ Killer, BC Lions fan. Yeah, but it was a very, it was of all the, like, for, you know, in his defense, there was nothing creepy about his pitch, except that the pitch existed. Yeah. Yeah, but it wasn't like. Do you think he was trying to pick her up romantically? I don't. Why else would you brag about being a DJ?

What, yeah, do they do they oh we're waving uh what's he doesn't understand that dj is not a positive thing anymore but i think in some circles it is because like people uh like djs it's a weird they're still being utilized in yeah yeah well people don't like guitar players but did they ever though is the people like music i think it's what we're getting at people don't love music like the people that play it yeah i don't i feel like i've dug into a hole here that i no that's fine yeah i think you're it's not a specifically dangerous hole but but I am definitely below sea level at this point. Yeah, it's like, do people like music?

Absolutely. Do they like the people who make it? Some of the time. Other times? Not at all. Yeah, not when those people are dating children. Yeah. It turns out people have very specific preferences.

And sometimes those people are DJs. So there you go. Your logic? Watertight. Now, did you say you have a second one? Overheard? Oh, I have so many. you go your logic water tight now did you say you have a second one overheard oh i do i have so many um i did uh well if you don't you know it's fine yeah i do i'm trying to think which one is better no no no well go it sounds like you have three you played your hand um i overheard

right before i got on the plane i was so upset that I could not listen to it. Whoever was in the seating area for the next gate over was talking to their friend and just in, like, apropos of nothing, turns to their friend and goes, you know, I don't really fuck with foot cream anymore. I was like, I cannot believe I have to get on this flight right now. I want to be part of this. Too slippery.

Too slippery. That's what I, what could it have possibly been? I mean, it is pretty slippery. Mint. I don't like mint, you know, it's like brushing your teeth's feet or whatever. Feet's teeth. Like what is, what could you possibly have a problem with? What are your teeth's feet?

The molars? I feel like the problem with foot cream. Toenails? I guess that would be your teeth, the actual feet. Yeah. I think the problem would be that you have to time it. Like you have to not walk anywhere for 10 minutes, don't you? To let it sink in.

Or yeah, like. Treat yourself at the end of the day, just before you're hopping in bed. Footbath, you put on that and then you put on a nylon sock and that just. Yeah. You put on the nylons on the radio yeah and then you just have some acapella yeah then you drift off to drift off to sleep and just think about feet that's your old old dream is just i woke up soaked thinking about slipping and sliding oh but my feet so soft everything good over there i got armpit issues oh no smell or well odor or smell

like i i got home today after work and i i was like did i forget to put deodorant on my right side just the right side yeah well that's what and so i put i reapplied to both sides it's back it's back i think this one's just working hard. It's been doing a lot of waving with the left hand, so it's just been up more. Yeah. Yeah, you were doing a parade today? Oh, at work, I play the Statue of Liberty. Oh, yeah. Tough job.

Yeah. Now, we also have overheard sent in from people all over the world. If you want to send one in, you can send it in to spy at maximumfun.org. This first one comes from Joe M., Phoenix, Arizona. This is at an NHL game. I'm guessing.

The Coyotes. Coyotes. From a guy walking behind me during intermission. Yeah, I got kids. Kids suck. You guys have kids. Confirmed? Denied? deny yeah they definitely suck sometimes this is the d it's the music situation all over again sometimes sometimes sometimes great yeah yeah

kids man i liked your hustle out there uh listen i'm a kid the kids told me they liked my hustle i'd adopt them in a second here's my card yeah here's my card just says kid on it yeah local kid written in crayon obviously or pencil crayon yeah they've done the work um yeah uh did you do that when you were a kid did you ever make little business cards you're saying that like that is a common occurrence no i don't know i just remember making them when I was a kid. That's amazing. Handing them out to people.

That's the aspiration of a child being like, I just want to be in business. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I want people to know. I see adults doing this. I want in. I want in on the ground floor. What title would you give yourself?

It would depend on the mood. Yeah. You know, private detective. Consultant. Consultant. Yeah, sure. I remember in high school, I made,

I was, I took a film class and we all made movies and I used, you know, writer, director, producer,

Dave Shumka. Like making this movie, I was like, I am pretty accomplished. Three credits. More than anyone else at my age. Yeah. That's pretty good.

Yeah. It's like watching a Frank D'Angelo film. Yes. Have you ever seen a Frank D'Angelo? No. I know the name, but I'm not. It's just not a film buff. Do you know?

Oh, you know. If you don't need it. Dave's exploded. Do you remember an energy drink called Cheetah Power Surge? Oh, Frank D'Angelo is the insane Italian guy, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. I definitely know who he is.

He has been in many blood feuds with many Toronto comedians. Yeah, well, because they make fun of his bad movies. Yeah. I think Hunter Collins. Shout out to Hunter Collins. Wonderful man. I think he got in a Twitter blood feud where he said he was going to hurt him. Wow.

Frank said this. Yeah, Frank said this. Hunter, I need to clarify this. I feel like Frank D'Angelo carries a lot of cash. Oh, how much cash do you think he has on him? Because he has money, grocery store money, right? I mean, so do I what am I supposed to do

from owning a grocery store not shopping at a grocery store yeah he's like is he not part of the Saputo or something maybe I'm making that up

is he part of a mafia family no Saputo makes cheese oh sure I thought this was another gaudy movie that we didn't another boring

Saputo movie that we didn't know. Another boring Saputo movie that we didn't know. But I could be wrong about that. I don't mean to... Disparage Saputo. Yeah, I don't want to connect them. But for sure he was Cheetah Power Surge. And he had his own talk show that he would buy time, the paid advertising time,

and then put his show in that block. Yeah, and he used to he used to do yeah for anyone who doesn't know cheetah power surge was this energy drink that advertised during probably canada's like most expensive ad spot which is right during coach's corner yeah yeah uh and, but no one ever drank it. No, I've never met anyone that has owned, I've known people that have a can in their home and they thought it was fun

and they did not open it or drink it. When I was in, when I was last in Toronto, that Frank Tonight or Being Frank or whatever, it was Being Frank is the name of the show. He was interviewing somebody. His guest had been in one of his movies he was interviewing him about

his experience working on that movie with him how'd you like working with Frank D'Angelo he said he's like I've never worked on a movie that was shot

in a week that's what the guy said that's not a compliment and I don't think Frank understands that it's like I've never worked on a movie

that was shot in a week so there you go that's like how was the never worked on a movie that was shot in a week. So, there you go. That's like, that was the movie. Lighting. Oof. Great lighting. Oh no.

No. It was a blur. This next one comes from JP. Used to live with Abby and her brother. Oh. Yeah.

Oh, JP. Oh, JP. JPP. What does JP stand for jump on jump on um um i think his name's well i think it was jp we called him jp but he also had it because normally we give people we don't give people's last initials yeah but his last initials also p oh i see i see j JPP I think I think Yeah But now I'm all mixed up

He had beautiful eyes One time We were in Max And a woman Like we were all just Getting Slurpees Frosters

And on a recent trip back to Vancouver, I took my girlfriend to Harbor Center, which is the restaurant on top. It's got a rotating. Why wouldn't you have a rotating restaurant in your city? Yeah. If you've got it, flaunt it. Yeah. You've got to rotate it. When we got into the elevator to go up,

we were joined by an older American family, as well as a local tourist guide. The tourist guide introduced himself and said, we're all lucky to be going up on such a clear day as we would have a great view. The mom of the family said, fantastic. This is our thing. We travel all around to see the world's tallest building.

It's our thing. We used to travel around to see the world's tallest geysers, but now we've seen them all. So now we're traveling to see the world's tallest buildings. The guide then said, oh, that's great. So have you been to Dubai? And the mom said, why would we do that? As far as I know, there's no geysers there at all.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, the building she's in, not the tallest one in the city, maybe the 10th tallest in the city. But what a trip there. What's the tallest building in the city? I would say the wall center? No, that was

maybe 10 years ago it was oh shit then the shangri-la oh the shangri-la and now trump tower baby there's a trump tower in vancouver uh-huh how's it doing we we uh yeah after after he was voted and we were like now yeah yeah i personally put up my own money it's just more of a tribute to it. It was a citywide fundraiser. It's not even affiliated with hotels. We just named it Trump, Trump tower. Just hide in support,

his two kids, one being maybe like an eight-year-old daughter, and she, just before he was going to order his ice cream, she decided that she would remind him that, um, Daddy, remember you have diabetes!

You had to do 40 hours of community service for some reason. Really? But I volunteered. My mom used to work at a retirement community. And I remember we used to go in and we used to serve. They had like an ice cream Tuesday or whatever. So we would go in and serve. And there was a woman who was diabetic and she was not allowed to have ice cream and there was like a

picture of her and we were not allowed to serve her and she she came in wearing a wig just a fake mustache you know how it is and she would come in and try to get ice cream from us because she knew we were new and we were like we we can't serve you and she would get really irate and i remember one time the like whoever like the manager whoever came in and they were like iris we cannot serve you ice cream and she just looked there she's like i will end you she like lost her mind i love iris she was great let her have her ice cream i almost gave her ice cream because she was such a firecracker.

No, it's a nice. I mean, I guess everywhere it does them different. But I think the standard is pretty nice. Pretty nice spice? Pretty nice. I think I can't do it. Mayonnaise-y spice. Oh, it's a mix of...

I think so. Okay. That's not... That is not a traditional sushi topping, right? Like, that's a North American situation? Mayonnaise? Yeah, the spicy mayo? I don't know anything about sushi because I'm allergic to seafood.

Okay. So I've never had, so don't know. But Vancouver has such good seafood. That's such a bummer. So I hear. Update on the captain's boil. They took the big sign down. The captain's boil is closed.
