You're up against The View for a comedy album.
Yeah.
Sorry, Rosie.
Wait, is she on that?
No.
She was.
But I'm just now picturing what The View comedy album would be.
Would it be sketches?
Yeah.
Just monologues.
Yeah, and like political songs and you're also
you're also a music producer yeah and you've produced a bunch of different
types of music yeah yeah you famously produced call me baby I didn't produce
that I wrote on that album okay not on
that song i wish i wrote on that song and unbelievably here right now i'd be here well
we'd be in uh the sky somehow that'd be a good place for a studio yeah and your personal zeppelin
yeah exactly yeah no but i i mean she uh showed me that song acoustically and I produced different ones.
Oh, yeah.
You were like, now pass.
No, thank you.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
I thought you were going to say famously produced Kat Von D.
Yeah, I have produced music for her also.
Oh, wow.
It's not out yet.
And it's coming out early next year.
I remember seeing pictures of you and her, paparazzi pictures yeah yeah like in seven years ago yeah
yeah i can't believe you've been looking at me for so long i'm just meeting today yeah well it's i
mostly just check paparazzi pictures yeah big tmz thing yeah yeah yeah so yeah we we did that and
then she's actually heading out on a tour to tour that record in May.
Has she done any of the tattoos on you?
All of them.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
When did you start getting tattoos?
It's funny.
Like, before I met her, I had, like, one tattoo from when I was 14 on my leg.
Oh, what was that?
Most original thing, a nautical star.
I don't know if you've ever seen one of those on anyone before.
And then... I couldn't point one out.
I was sure it was going to be a gecko.
A gecko?
Yeah.
A tramp stamp gecko would be really sexy.
Yeah, a dolphin jumping over a gecko.
It's covered in tribal tattoos.
I love when people get a lot of ideas in one tattoo.
Like a dolphin jumping over
a canadian flag or something like that that is just with my mom's birthday on it just all your
favorite things yeah just get it all handled in one time my mom and i have issues but she's got
a hell of a birthday well she is a dolphin um yeah and then so then uh after that i now have like nine tattoos from her and so uh was it a
case of she was like let me give you let me i can only pay you in tattoos um she i said i wanted to
get a bunch of cat head tattoos all over my arm and she went let's go do it right now how about
three big ones and then i got this one i like that yeah thank you i mean that's the first one i noticed yeah yeah i like them all
thanks and then and then um take your shirt off anything for you i did just meet you after all
um and then because i was living in her guest house for a while while i was working on
different things in la for a while and then i every couple days i'd be like what about uh
audrey hepburn she looks let's go do it right now and then we days I'd be like, what about, uh, Audrey Hepburn? She's like, let's go do it right now.
And then we'd, it'd be like 11 straight hours and it's so impulsive and so fun.
And I actually have, uh, nightmares.
I don't have them.
Like I love them.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The, uh, like leading up to that, did you ever think you'd be a tattoo guy?
No.
No.
It's not too late in my life.
Maybe I become a tattoo guy.
Do you ever need to live in
the guest house of a famous tattoo artist i mean that's the that's the easy route i unfortunately
lived in the uh tattoo artist oh jeez i lived in the guest house of uh the cake boss really so
every day i'm like fill my canola let's do it right now that old adage
yeah
well that's cool
and like
are you going to get more
yeah I always want more
yeah
yeah I love it
and then it's funny like
I'll go by
I just went by to visit
and she's like
I have 15 minutes
do anything you want
and I got this
oh inner lip
a smiley face
on the inner lip?
It's the face with the sideways bracket that just seems like, I don't know.
Oh, yeah.
It's my favorite emoji.
I don't really like emojis.
I'm not one for texting LOL or anything, but I like that one.
Have you...
So you just got that one?
Last year.
Have you been to the dentist since?
No.
Okay.
What are they going to say?
That's what I'm curious about.
They're going to be like, well, why so serious?
Why the attitude?
They cut my cheeks open.
It's the only logical thing to do.
Yeah.
Yeah, that would be kind of fun for a dentist.
You think so?
Yeah.
Yeah, just every mouth they see is the same.
Yeah, well, give or take a cavity probably.
But I feel like on the realm of tattoo extremities, that is sort of a silly one considering how many face tattoos there are out now.
And on very young people.
Yeah.
A lot of people get something over one eyebrow.
And I mean, that's an interesting trend to just you know participate in yeah i think so
yeah i mean it's not really a trend if it's on your face forever yeah that's true would you ever
get face tattoo no i don't think so i don't even want to get anything on my hands yeah like i like
the idea i can wear a you know a nice puffy jacket like dave put away from me earlier today and no
one even knows i have tattoos yeah yeah so you can you can revert
to uh office drone exactly yeah my that's that's my other name besides kevi i was gonna say though
the worst tattoo i've ever seen and maybe this is the game you guys can help out with is okay
i was at the flea market one time and i saw a gentleman uh as Charlie Demers would say, a sleeveless gentleman.
And he had a tattoo of Garfield that looked like if I drew it right now from memory.
And it was pink.
Pink Garfield.
Worst tattoo I've ever seen.
What do you guys, do you have any?
Geez, like, well, the worst one that I ever saw was when I worked at the Calgary Stampede.
Okay.
And a guy had like a homemade, you know, stick and poke.
Prison style.
And it said, it was a very bad Canadian flag.
And it said Canadian, like, but spelled, like,
looked like the Canadian beer logo.
And a Canadian badass.
And then a very badly done Canadian flag. So a Kid Rock reference. Yeah, Kid Rock reference. Yeah. logo. Okay. And the Canadian badass. And then a very badly done Canadian flag.
So a Kid Rock reference.
Yeah, Kid Rock reference.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Yeah.
And that guy?
What did I think of that?
He's our prime minister.
Yeah.
He does have,
our prime minister does have,
he does have a tattoo.
Does he?
But like,
he has like,
does he have a Canadian flag?
Maple leaf?
Yeah, he's a maple leaf.
And then I think he has like a Thunderbird or something.
Oh yeah.
A Thunderbird?
Like the car?
No, no, no.
That would be so badass.
We elect a guy who's got a Thunderbird car.
Wait, a fire bird.
Yeah.
I feel like there's probably, yeah, Thunderbird as well.
Is it?
A T-Bird?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They've had all the birds.
Man.
Parrot.
Yep. The Hyundai Parrot. I drove a all the birds. Man. Parrot. Yep.
Hyundai Parrot.
I drove a Parrot for a while.
I drove away here.
My neighbors used to have a Hyundai Pony.
Oh, yeah.
Was that a Hyundai?
That sounds fake.
Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Like a tiny little car, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mitsubishi Parakeet.
I love this game.
Yeah.
Car brand end.
Bird brand. bird brand.
I can't even think
of the worst tattoos
I've seen.
I've been seeing
more and more
that I like.
I don't,
they're not for me.
Like,
my body is a temple.
It's a shrine.
It's a wonderland.
It's a wonderland.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Swim in a big sea
of blankets.
Shmoong.
But I've been, yeah, I like, I've been seeing a lot of just like black and white ones.
I like, Alicia's got a new one.
Okay.
Past guest Chris Fonzon-Bathey designed.
The cat with the like thunderbolts.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's cute.
Yeah.
A lot of people are getting like that, like the kind of, they look old timey.
Yeah.
They're just like the, yeah.
Yeah. Kind of just, just a black ink. Yeah. They're just like the, yeah. Yeah.
Kind of just, just a black ink.
Do you not have any?
Nope.
Wow.
No.
I'm going to get one on my 80th birthday.
Right across my face.
The number 80.
Yeah.
Celebration.
Exactly.
You've heard of Takashi69.
Just around my eyes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm saving it up.
Okay. Will be expensive i mean if i knew a world famous tattoo
artist then maybe i you know you'd have to dive in well uh she has a tattoo shop called high voltage
where she picked all the artists and they're all she says they're all better than her at something
so if you guys ever go to la i I could, uh, get you in there.
Maybe it might be good episode.
Okay.
Yeah.
You know the show.
Yeah.
Sounds great guys.
Um,
and speaking of,
uh,
uh, Kat Von D,
you're,
there's a,
is it a lipstick that's named after?
A lip liner named after me.
Yeah.
Oh,
yeah.
Heavy lip liner.
That's,
what color is it? It's like a peach nude. yeah. Oh, yeah. Heavy lip liner. That's, what color is it?
It's like a peach nude.
Yeah, that's you.
Yeah, thanks.
Yeah.
If you, what type of toiletry would you be?
Oh, boy.
Yeah, a plunger.
Dave Brand plunger. Yeah, or like an auger.
Oh, yeah. What's that?
It's like a
It's kind of like a
One of those snakes
But I just go
Oh okay
It's like on a crank
Yeah I got one
Really?
I'm a proud owner of an auger
Man
Yeah me too baby
I think I left it at the old house
Bragging
Yeah yeah yeah
No man it's
You could be an auger owner
Just like that
Man
I don't know
Maybe when I'm 80 Huh. Maybe when I'm 80.
Huh?
Maybe when I'm 80.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you use any toiletries?
You'd be a beard oil.
I have some beard oil.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
And then the rest of it, it just really could fit in a hobo's bindle.
It's just a shampoo and a soap and a comb and toothpaste well deodorant you know yeah
deodorant yeah absolutely hobos have that stick with that little bag on the end that's that'd be
the perfect size for those uh yeah that's what they must have in there yeah that's why they're
always so well kept looking yeah yeah yeah that's uh what would a hobo actually have in there a knife
can of beans.
I feel like you gotta have your knife in your pocket.
Yeah.
That's a good call.
Because how big is the bindle?
Like, what are you carrying?
I guess that you're using some kind of fulcrum.
Yeah.
And it's like a large, I always pictured it as being like the size of a bandana.
Yeah.
I think it is a bandana, right?
You can't fit much in there.
No.
An avocado. Just the seed. Just a couple avocado seeds. Yeah. I think it is a bandana, right? You can't fit much in there. No. An avocado.
Just the seed.
Just a couple avocado seeds.
For when you hit the coast and you start your own avocado farm.
Gotta start somewhere.
But your handkerchief tying skills must be amazing.
To be able to carry all your belongings like that and just trust it.
That's true.
Yeah.
And then jump on a train like that?
Come on.
Graham is miming it. Like he's trying to remember some kind of hobo rhyme he's looking good
over under side to side that is where the hobos pride
this is the hobo folding rhyme yeah bindle bindle shining bright
the jump a train tonight they very good thank you um the hobos i know they would they had a whole
like uh system of like hieroglyphics yeah they would leave the hobo code yeah they would leave
at different points and say like angry... Angry farmer. Angry, yeah.
Had sex with his daughter.
Despite his warning.
Fucked his pumpkins.
Angry farmer.
There were three holes in the wall.
Yeah.
He told me the first two were fine, but instead of the third one...
It's a very small hieroglyphic for it, though.
No, they're like, you know,
food here or shelter. Okay. Yeah.
That's helpful. These people are a little
Jesus-y.
That could be a good thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, sure. Bring you in, give you a shave
and a haircut and a new handkerchief.
Yeah, two bits.
And then you're also a touring musician. Yeah yeah yeah and uh you two are like is this
all over the world yeah yeah i've uh i was just talking about how sick i got when we toured china
because everyone told me that they'd been there before would be like don't drink the water so i
didn't but i did brush my teeth with it which is the same thing yeah and then i got so sick for the whole tour we were there for like two and a half weeks
don't breathe the air don't breathe there i mean that i actually did get like an instant sore
throat in beijing and then everyone had those masks on and stuff and uh and then when we were
coming back i also had to do the longest set of my life while I was sick like that, which was like 90 minutes.
How come?
It was just what we got booked for.
And so we did it.
And it was weird.
It was in Guangzhou.
And there were, oddly enough, only Russian people in the audience.
And it was the drunkest crowd I've ever performed for in my life.
Oh, Russians.
Yikes.
Yeah.
And I remember some woman came up to us and was like, is that you guys on the poster?
And it was me and my bass player.
And we were like, yep.
And then she turned to him and went, you look better on the poster.
Ouch.
Mean.
Rude.
Yeah.
They're very mean when they're drunk.
Rude Russians.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Do you do that?
Do you just not let go of rude situations and just think about it years later?
Yeah.
I do that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of like,
because make yourself feel better for like,
Oh,
never going back.
Well,
I was,
I actually was just thinking of one yesterday cause I dwell on that kind of
thing about how on a,
on an eighth grade,
um,
like school trip,
me and my best friend were talking about the movie dawn of the dead and
we were really excited about it and this kid turned around he went hey man it's just a movie
but his dad was sitting beside him so i couldn't be like f you you know right because i didn't want
to you know yeah yeah yeah so rude i was just talking about it man and you've held on to that
all these years you know what i think it's time to let it go yeah i thought you're gonna say to
find him yeah yeah yeah find him yeah. Find him. Find him.
Track him down.
That's what Facebook's for.
And beat up his dad.
You couldn't at the time.
You didn't have the strength.
Exactly.
But now.
Now.
Yeah.
I mean, he had a point.
What?
It's just a movie.
I didn't come here for this kind of.
Did he think that you thought zombies were real?
Like some kind of fake shark, real zombie situation?
Deep cut.
I think he just was annoyed by my enthusiasm.
And I can only assume he's now an accountant
or something like that.
What if he's making The Walking Dead?
What if he was like,
maybe that was the turning point.
Like, I said that, but I don't believe it.
Martin Scorsese has been bad-mouthing the Marvel movies.
He's in a big big he's in a feud
with
Captain America
with Thanos
I don't know
who's gonna win
and he
I feel like
that's a good thing
you could say to him
is
just a movie
yeah
yeah
but I mean
that's kind of what
that was his point
that was kind of his point
was he was like
it's like an amusement ride
and it's like what else was Scorsese gonna say about them like yeah he didn't say anything
bad if he was like an amusement he said they're not cinema yeah if he was super duper into like
the ryan reynolds green lantern movie or something and be like hmm that's disappointing so i'd rather
him be like those movies are stupid yeah yeah yeah yeah i wonder if he liked joker yeah he basically directed it
have you seen it yeah oh i haven't seen it yet uh tonight's the night oh yeah no
i'm very busy it's a pro d day yeah today's the day i can bring the kids oh no the uh i guess the
uh the staircase from that movie that's on the poster has just been flooded with dancers.
Yeah, yeah.
Was it New York?
It's in New York, yeah.
And it's just, it's become New York's leading tarot piece.
So, just where there's like a hundred people all doing the same pose.
The same dance.
You know what I liked about it, though, is that it had real stand-up comedians
in it like gary gallman gary gallman and um i mean brian callum's in a part and then who else is it
aaron yeah mark maron um sam moral they're all in yeah and they're playing themselves uh not mark
maron but the other guys were yeah they were just playing like yeah like uh comics but they had them like in outfits from the 80s.
Like what a comic in the 80s would have worn.
Yeah.
And yeah.
How anachronistic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But they were doing modern jokes.
These new apps are so crazy.
You guys got the Miami Vice app?
And that's what drove the Joker crazy.
He didn't know what they meant.
Boy, he's got a lot of negative thoughts out here
mostly negative thoughts the only the only thing that uh drove me up the wall about the movie was
that the joker is basically smoking in every scene and then he can outrun anybody he's so fast
how crazy he is yeah that's that's true. Notice. Um,
can I,
you know how they were when it first came out?
There was like a news report about a guy in the front who would laugh every time the Joker killed someone and then he got kicked out.
Oh yeah.
See that?
Yeah.
When I went to with my girlfriend and that happened,
she was like,
yeah,
when it happened,
the first one was like,
shh,
shh.
And they also,
you also weren't allowed to go to it by yourself for the first week.
What?
They were worried about a shooting, yeah.
Who?
The shooters roll solo.
Not at Columbine.
Yeah, good point.
That's true.
Yeah.
I never heard that.
What?
Because I'm going to go by myself.
Not allowed. Well, by the'm going to go by myself. Not allowed.
Well, by the eighth week, it'll be.
How many people is he going to shoot?
Yeah, that's true.
Just you?
Yeah.
Like, ah, I wanted a body count here.
So are you heading out on tour again soon or just come back from a tour?
We actually, yesterday we were doing
a photo shoot
for a new album
and then a video shoot
this weekend
with the Soska sisters
who are my friends
and they're identical
twin directors
and they just did
a David Cronenberg remake
called Rabid
and I did the music for it.
Oh wow.
That just came out
and I was just in LA
for the premiere of that
and then
Did they do Ginger Snaps?
Catherine Isabel
was a star of that
starred in American Mary
which they did.
American Mary. Yeah, yeah. So I did a star of that starred in American Mary which they did. American Mary.
Yeah, yeah.
So I did a bunch of music
for that one too.
And then
Didn't we get a preview
of the music?
Oh, I was going to
hum the Jurassic Park theme.
That's the only thing
I can think of.
No, no, no.
We'll take it.
I always feel
It makes me really
You guys like that movie?
feel romantic.
That was the music
we walked in
at our big
Wedding
Wedding entrance
Really?
Presenting Dave
And Abby Shumka
That's brilliant
What's your favorite movie score
You think?
That one?
Movie score
Star Wars or
I mean
No you know like
It was one that I had
My parents had the album of was the sting.
Oh, really?
That's cool.
The ragtime stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I really liked that.
It's very nostalgic.
That's cool.
That's like a, that's a good piece of vinyl if it was on vinyl.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about yours?
Um, I love Jurassic park.
Um, and then I also love, uh, I really loved the Gone Girl score.
Oh, yeah.
And Trent Reznor.
And then I love the Social Network.
Yeah, I like that one too.
Yeah, I love it.
It's kind of like, I like pieces of music that feel nostalgic, but also futuristic.
And I feel like that encapsulates those two scores.
Is that what you kind of did for this?
Yeah, that's what I kind of, I really did try to just do that kind of thing.
Cool.
Yeah, I like that i um yeah i used to listen to a like a screenwriting podcast yeah and one of the guys hosting it was talking about how when he writes he likes to listen to scores yeah he
especially likes the born movie scores oh really and i tried and i was like no i do not like this
is it too much energy uh it's
distracting yeah well it's just kind of like tuneless oh okay it's just drones and stuff
well drones and then like high-paced stuff but like no not really like a like no melody melody
yeah okay but yeah i like all the john williams stuff yeah oh man you know what i what score i
love and people get mad at me for loving this movie,
but Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
That was my childhood favorite movie,
and I constantly, and people are just like,
you're wrong.
That was the bad one.
That was the one where he was going through a divorce.
People get mad at me.
I'm like, Crystal Skull is worse. If you're really going to get mad about one of those movies.
Steven Spielberg was going through a divorce then?
Yeah, and he was in the midst of alcoholism and
everything. They were like, he just took
out his problems on Indiana Jones.
John Williams wasn't going
through a divorce when he was scoring it.
He didn't make everyone go through a divorce to make
the movie. No, but he did. Those were
his notes to John Williams. More
divorce-y. Yeah.
Do you remember the music in that? It's so
cool. I couldn't differentiate the
scores from different
Indiana Jones.
The first one's like
and then Temple of Doom is like
Graham knows.
As soon as you start singing.
I am a musician, so.
Would, like, would you take that as a full-time gig, just scoring films, or is it just a fun?
I don't know.
I do so many things, and I like the diversity of it that I don't know.
Like, it's funny because I used to just produce so much music.
And then when I started doing comedy, it, I was only doing comedy albums for like two
years.
Right.
And now I'm back to doing music and it's kind of like even.
Yeah.
And, uh, I think I like going back and forth with it.
How many movies have you scored?
Uh, I've, I've done the music for about seven.
Oh, seven.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So do you get the, like, like uh when do you join the process um so the saska sisters
who i was talking about um they're just like my best friends and so they will we'll just hang out
and tell me about the new script they're writing and i'll start writing it before they've even
started shooting oh really yeah so like i'll get i'll get excited like they had a they had a they
did a wwe movie with Kane. And he, yeah.
What's Kane like on set?
Kane's really nice.
He's so nice.
Really?
And he's a politician now, of course.
Is he really?
That's not even shocking anymore.
Yeah, and his running mate is another wrestler.
I can't remember, but it's so ridiculous.
I would like to see a ticket.
Oh, Goldust.
Oh, boy.
What a ticket. Yeah. like to see a ticket. Oh, Goldust. Oh, boy. What a ticket.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Sure.
I just want to tell you one funny thing that Kane did on set.
Which was that there's a part in that movie, See No Evil, where he's laying on a slab at a morgue like he's dead.
And then Catherine Isabel from Ginger Snaps gets on top of him and she's doing this sexy thing. And then they're like, cut. And like gets on top of them. And she's doing this like sexy thing.
And then,
and then they're like cut.
And they're like,
Glenn,
that's Kane's real name.
They're like,
you must've enjoyed that.
And he's like,
actually my daughter's the same age as her.
So that made me very uncomfortable.
Yeah.
Upstanding citizens.
Good.
Good for you,
Glenn.
Yeah.
Um,
so when you go,
like,
do they,
are you right?
You're,
you just start writing without any pictures.
Yeah.
We just kind of discuss the tone and the vibe and they'll give me examples and I'll get
inspired.
And then I'll usually write the end credits theme song first.
Okay.
It's like the funnest.
Like think about what would be the most cool thing to start the credits with.
And then so like Rabid.
That's pretty good.
Is that the hobo theme song for packing their handkerchiefs
what was that yackety sacks oh yeah
every film should start with
and kevin spacey is ty kaiser's jose couldn't you tell they have the same initials can i tell you that one time i was in the recording
studio and this producer was like you gotta hear this snare sample it's amazing and he accidentally
played that and it was maybe the hardest i've ever laughed and i don't think it was it wasn't a joke
i don't know why it was up on his... He just Rick-rolled himself.
Of all songs, that song is the goofiest of goofy songs.
Yeah.
It really is.
But, like, it's so goofy that you don't even need to know the context that it originally existed for.
Yeah.
It's just like, if you hear it, you're like... Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
This is hilarious.
I don't know if it was originally for Benny Hill running running around yeah fast motion but it is very silly it's so silly that if something tragic
happened in real life and then that came over a pa system people would laugh yeah yeah yeah
yeah and then you know what that's that's our secret weapon as humans
we're now entering our fifth hour of September 11th coverage.
So sorry, but you gotta laugh.
But you gotta laugh.
That's what they say on the news.
It shows a bunch of laughing firefighters.
Have all of the movies that you've done the scores for been like kind of spooky movies or?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
been like kind of spooky movies or yeah yeah yeah yeah that's your would you ever do like a score for like a a family picture family road picture uh yeah anything the shumka family
watches oh sure yeah um i would actually love that i just it'd be really fun i like uh hiring
my friends for things so if it was like a big budget version that'd be cool to do something
kind of weird with it like yeah if it was like a family movie, but you had all these like industrial musicians work on it or something.
Kind of.
That'd be cool.
Really like that idea of, you know, like, you know, an Olsen twins movie, but with a Trent Reznor kind of score underneath.
There was a SpongeBob episode that had Pantera who did the soundtrack.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Just no vocals.
And it was like, they all did a bunch of caffeine
in the episode
and it was like Pantera music
all the way through it.
That's so cool.
That is cool.
And the kids would never know.
Yeah.
There's a lot.
I think like,
I watched Spongebob
when it was first on
and I was like,
there's a lot going on here
that kids will not.
Oh, yeah.
They won't get
and that's fine.
And then maybe
when they're in college
they'll rediscover Spongebob
and be like, uh. It it's like as a parent now uh-huh uh i remember like growing up and and you
know getting a little older and being like okay so these are i can tell these are jokes for the
parents yeah and but then the amount of just like surface trash my children watch that has no nothing
for the parent oh really yeah what's the worst you
think oh there was this uh show called word party that's a netflix original yeah that is it's made
by like maybe the the jim henson company but it is it's absolute garbage really what's the
what's the premise of word party um boy uh we uh we're we, uh, we're the babies. You're the big kids.
So the big kids are watching it.
Your kids are watching it and they're trying to like help these little babies learn these animal babies learn words.
Oh boy.
Oh,
that sounds challenging.
Yeah.
But word party.
Oh,
that was also written by Pantera.
Yeah.
Yeah. Um. Yeah.
Yeah, but it's funny, though, because when I was a kid,
I was shown things just way too early.
I saw RoboCop, and I was like five, and it's so violent.
I don't know why my mom rented that for me, and she chose it also.
Yeah, but RoboCop was a movie that you definitely wanted to see.
You didn't know that it wasn't appropriate for you.
Yeah.
But you're, yeah, somebody should have been in control.
Somebody should have been at the driver's seat.
I was by myself all the time.
I also, but then I remember like years later getting mad at my mom for not letting me see Tales from the Crypt Demon Night in the theater.
And I was like, come on, you let me watch Robocop.
Well, that was about a police.
let me watch Robocop.
Well,
that was about a police.
This one just,
this one glorifies a crypt.
Yeah.
That's gross.
Yeah.
Is that a job?

gotta maintain those scripts aren't gonna keep themselves he's just a comic book collector it's
all he has in his crypts yeah yeah he as a kid i was like that was a very confusing one because
he was silly enough to appeal to kids yeah but spooky enough to oh man your nightmares. Oh man, I love that show and it made my nightmares
so much, like, there is such
weird bat, and it's funny because it really
didn't age well because I'm watching it again now
and there's an episode that Arnold Schwarzenegger directed
and it's terrible.
So dumb.
And he wants to be our governator?
Arnold Schwarzenegger
directed, wow. Yeah, it's also like like every season had like 35 episodes it's like
let's trim that in half right up the quality it was like uh i never watched it is really but like
it was it didn't have like a continuing plot it was just a bunch of yeah it was like twilight zone
but it would have its big thing is that it was way more like raunchy and then there would be
a celebrity in like every episode as a director or a star or both.
So there's one where Joe Pesci is playing several characters.
This is my dream.
That was a good one, actually.
He really got his just desserts in that one.
And then there was...
It was weird, though.
Pesci playing multiple... They all sound exactly like. Joe Pesci played multiple.
They all sound exactly the same. Pesci clumps.
Think about how good his music career would have been if that was really out.
Oh, yeah.
Little Joe Pesci.
That's right.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, he's done a lot.
And he's coming back in a Scorsese film.
Is he the Irishman?
Yeah.
And hopefully he plays more than one character.
I love when actors decide to start playing music, like Dog Star and like...
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
40-odd foot of grunts.
That was Russell Crowe's band.
And now Jeremy Renner has that song.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's got a whole ad campaign, a Jeep ad campaign built around it.
Yeah.
That's pretty much my favorite ad campaign that's out right now.
Yeah.
Where it's like, you know Jeremy Renner as a singer.
And it's like, do we?
Yeah.
No.
He's late to this concert.
The Jeremy Renner concert.
Yeah, yeah.
You're kind of like, am I being gaslit?
Could you like a band that had an actor in it like would could you take it seriously like
30 seconds to mars or something like i remember when it came out i was like no no this is
right dumb right that's a good question could i ever like i know the person first as an actor
and then like if denzel washington started a indie rock band could you get into yes yes i mean obviously yes i would get into that
um uh no it is it is a little bit like yeah um sometimes it just it feels weird like i remember
michael cero was playing bass oh yeah with some people and it was like oh is he but he's not
permanently in the band or is he oh wait phantom planet no that was jason sportsman i think that was on the better side of the spectrum
of those kind of things yeah i'm trying to think of like what what is the best of actor dog star
probably eddie murphy's party all the time yeah that's pretty great yeah that doesn't count it's
so good it's just so good. Yeah.
So then the other question is, what about when actors decide to start doing stand-up?
Is that annoying?
Nope.
No, I love it.
I want to see.
I want to see.
What's his name?
Entourage do stand-up. Oh, Jeremy Piven.
Piven.
Yeah.
I want to see all of the members of Entourage.
Turtle.
He'd be good. I want to see Turtle of the Members of Entourage Turtle He'd be good
I want to see Turtle
Do stand up
Just all aquatic jokes
Yep
Hey everybody
Stop throwing away your straws
I'm not really Turtle
Get in my car
Yeah because
John Mayer did it for a bit
But he
Can do it all That's bit But he Can do it all
That's true
He can just do it all
I thought he's been funny
On interviews and stuff
So that was not
Really that annoying to me
And then he's always with Chappelle
But I could see how
An actual comedian
Would be like
Come on
Yeah
It would be weird
If it was Jeremy Renner
Doing it
Because he seems so serious
That's next
Oh Jeremy Renner
Is a stand up
Wait did you hear
He didn't he like
Threaten to kill Like put a gun in his own mouth
and threaten to kill his wife?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's canceled.
Was that part of the Jeep?
That was part of the Jeep campaign.
They'll do anything to move more units.
Yeah.
I mean, I bought a bunch of Jeeps after that.
Yeah.
How many Jeeps did you buy?
Adding to the four I already had.
Yeah.
Okay. A hundred and four. How many Jeeps did you buy? Adding to the four I already had. 104.
And you put the Jurassic Park logo on the side of all of them.
Well, I mean, they have no sides.
I take the doors off.
Yeah, cool.
That is cool.
That is the coolest way to drive.
Yeah.
It's the safest way to drive, but it's also making it more dangerous than a conventional car.
Oh, thank goodness. Yeah. Why is that allowed? dangerous than a conventional car. Oh, thank goodness.
Yeah.
Why is that allowed?
That's a good question.
It shouldn't be.
We got a big bar going across the top of the car.
Good enough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if that's legal, how come you can't ride a dune buggy down the street?
I think you can.
They just don't make very many dune buggies.
No, that's true.
But that would be the car for me here in the rainiest city
in canada i was talking to someone about they now have uh you know how they have formula one
race cars yeah they now have formula e electric cars oh that they race with electric cars and uh
i was asking how they do pit stops because they can't just like fill them with gas really usb
iphone and the guy said that they,
there were two ways of doing it.
And one they used to do when they currently do,
I don't remember which is which,
but one was they,
they all have two cars and you just get out.
No.
And get in the other car.
Oh,
really?
Huh?
In the pit stop.
And the other one was just,
oh,
they put a new battery in.
Put a new battery in.
That made more sense.
I just pictured the car slowing down to a stop
because it needs to upgrade the IOS.
It's like,
ah,
I hate Apple.
Also,
that would be so quiet.
Yeah,
that'd be the quietest
Indy 500.
Yeah,
because that's the whole,
like,
would they pump in
sound effects
so that you still
save your safety?
I love that
some cars do that.
Yeah,
they, or pump out corvette sounds or
whatever yeah is that a real thing yeah it's just put a card in your spokes yeah just put
spooky dookies on bring that back a ken griffey jr card in your spokes it would have to be bigger
it'd have to be a whole poster or something yeah sure a lamborghini poster oh that's cool
oh man yeah the kids i wonder if kids still they still have posters of lamborghinis on their walls
um greenhouse record recording studio has a ton of uh lamborghini kuntosh is that what it's called
that's the one all over the place because of Steve Bayes. Every time you find one,
he'd frame it
and put it on the wall
in there
and then someone started
continuing on the tradition
since he's left
and that's awesome.
That is awesome.
Yeah.
That was the one.
That was the one
my elementary school friend
was obsessed with.
It wasn't a Lamborghini Countach,
it was a Ferrari Testarossa.
Yes.
Have you guys ever driven
a car like that?
I don't have a license
so I haven't. Graham's been in a Tesla. I've been in a Tesla. I was in a Tesla Testarossa. Yes. Have you guys ever driven a car like that? I don't have a license, so I haven't.
Graham's been in a Tesla.
I've been in a Tesla.
I was in a Tesla too.
It scared me.
Why?
Because they put on insanity mode or whatever it is where it feels like a roller coaster.
Like Pantera plays.
Yeah, Pantera plays.
The roof comes off.
It really did feel like I was in an uncontrolled roller coaster.
Really? I thought, yeah. I've in an uncontrolled roller coaster. Really?
I thought, yeah.
I've seen videos of people doing it, and they're like, they freak out.
What does insanity mode do?
Super fast.
Yeah, it goes fast.
It accelerates very quickly.
It's like on Fast and Furious when they hit the gnaws button.
I'm not sure if you guys have seen that movie.
I have.
I've seen all of them in the theaters.
You saw the original one in the theater? your mom let you i know i can't
believe it my band has a tradition of seeing anything with uh vin diesel or the rock in the
theater it's so fun to go tough yeah we even saw the movie every week i went and saw um
jumanji in the theater with my friend devon alexander he does stand-up sometimes i think
you've met him before and he it was 3d and it was and it was me Lewis from my band Fake Shark and
him and Devon didn't laugh once through the whole movie and then at the end the girl got up to go
to the bathroom fell down the stairs and then he laughed it was the only time he laughed the whole
movie and you only get that in the 3D theaters yeah other people they miss out on that um yeah the rock uh
like i i feel like that would take days to watch all the movies he's put out i just love the theater
experience yeah so any excuse i guess but you know you're not allowed to go see a rock movie
you have to bring your whole band Who plays drums?
I don't want any programmed beats
Alright, come on in
Dave, what's going on with you, man?
Well, we were recording this
Like two weeks after we recorded our previous episode
Because I spent last week in New York
Yeah, it starts spreading
Something It starts spreading the news Well, Abby and I took a trip I spent last week in New York. Yeah. Start spreading something.
Start spreading the news.
Well, Abby and I took a trip specifically to go to the Joker stairs.
You were the first couple there.
Wow.
You know, we put one of those locks.
We put a padlock on it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For our undying love.
Why so serious 2019? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. For our undying love. Why so serious, 2019?
Oh, I have her negative thoughts, 2019.
No, we went, we, so Abby's parents came and stayed here and took care of the kids.
Yeah.
My parents had a place, rented a place in New York for the month.
Okay.
And they had two bedrooms.
They've done it a couple of years in a row now.
And they say
come stay in the second bedroom and so this year we took them up on it and we went for a week and
we did it all baby you went uh paul schaefer live i bet you could yeah probably all the cbs orchestra
they probably do like a like a a Wednesday night at some jazz bar?
Or they do like, you know, instrumental versions of today's hits.
Or he just plays all the themes.
We got letters.
Yeah, exactly.
Will it float?
Will it float?
Just the stupid Patricks theme.
Oh, boy.
I would buy that album.
Yeah. Oh, man. So the day we got there was a monday morning and we went in uh and i had so we we had like a few things we wanted to
do but mostly we just wanted to like walk around and hang out but we're like okay let's try to go
to some nice restaurant so we went to momofuku noodle house how's that well when you go and you make a reservation
so i made a reservation for two and then the the uh email it sent was like this is a reservation
for four people and i was like oh well whatever yeah okay i'll we'll see yeah yeah maybe maybe
we meet some friends and then uh so abby and i were gonna go and then the they emailed me and
they said uh actually the day you made a reservation for,
we're going to do maintenance.
So can you,
uh,
pick,
tell,
give us your availability and we'll set you up with another day.
And,
uh,
I said,
okay,
it's Monday.
It's for,
for two people.
And they,
they updated the app and I got an email saying your reservation for four
people on Monday is great.
Yeah.
It's like,
okay,
well invite my parents. I don't know if they want to go.. It's like, okay, well invite my parents.
I don't know if they want to go.
And they were like,
sure.
But only my dad ended up coming.
Uh,
and then you got Paul Shaver.
That's an even four.
There you go.
So the three of us went there,
uh,
and we got,
uh,
we sat down and the waiter was like,
uh,
so,
uh,
you guys are having the chicken and we're like,
uh,
we'll see.
Uh, what we'd like now is some like pork buns and, uh, you guys are having the chicken and we're like, uh, we'll see. Uh, what we'd like now is some like pork buns and, uh, noodles and stuff.
And so we ordered off the menu and, uh, he brought our food and then we finished and it was great.
It was, uh, yeah, it was, it was all delicious.
And then when we were done and we were full, the guy said, okay, so your chicken's going to be out in a couple minutes. And we were like,
oh, a chicken? What? Is this house policy that everybody has to eat a chicken?
And we were like, oh,
okay. And so he brought this like dipping sauce.
These are your dipping sauces. And we were expecting like, I don't know, one or
two pieces of chicken each. Oh, no. We were pretty like, I don't know, one or two pieces of chicken each.
Oh, no.
We were pretty full.
But I was like, you know, whatever we don't eat, we can bring back.
Right.
And so they brought out this like two foot high bowl full of fried chicken.
Whoa.
Wow.
That maybe 10 people could eat.
Really?
On an empty stomach.
Wow.
And we, and everyone in the restaurant looked at us. an empty stomach. Wow. And we,
and everyone in the restaurant looked at us.
Everybody applauded.
Yay.
It must be their birthday.
They're on a prank show.
And so we sat there and we each had like a piece and a half.
And then we were like,
uh, can we get this wrapped up?
We're going to eat this all week.
Yeah. We were, We didn't order this.
And the guy said, oh, when you make a reservation, you're agreeing to our chicken feast.
And we were like, oh, we didn't know that.
But this would have been something that would have been like 50 bucks from KFC.
So I was like, how much is this going to cost?
And he just said
oh we're sorry about that you can take it home and we won't charge you wow we never knew how much it
cost five stars on yelp then yeah yeah but we can never show our faces there again no well yeah you
game the system but you can only do it once yeah you got away with it yeah i can uh i'll have to
have facial reconstructive surgery yeah but it'll be worth it
yeah oh i bet i was considering it anyway yeah cheaper than the chicken um so you went to a
fancy restaurant yeah and then we wanted to go to like uh a late night show yeah but they were all off that week. But what wasn't off was live with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest.
Yes.
So we got tickets to that.
Yeah.
And then they said, get there at 7.15 in the morning.
Oh, my God.
9 a.m. show.
Yeah.
We got there like 7.
And we were like, oh, let's maybe see if we can get a cup of coffee.
And we walked past the line.
And the line was huge. Oh, my God. We were we were like okay we have to get in line yeah even though we
have tickets if we want to get any decent seats yeah people come from all over oh yeah it's not
just locals no and it is your favorite show it is So yeah. Abby used to watch it every morning. Really? Regis. Okay.
What were,
uh,
who are the guests?
Well,
we went on a Tuesday,
uh,
and so a giant taco.
Yep.
It was LeBron James and his taco Tuesday.
They tried to trademark.
Uh,
so like we,
they make you stand there until like quarter to nine.
Right. So we, well, we went inside, but then we were like make you stand there until like quarter to nine. Right.
So we're like,
well,
we went inside,
but then we were like,
Oh,
there were,
there were like food carts outside and we were starving.
Oh,
I'm picturing the inside that has a bunch of animatronics of a riot
Seacrest to entertain you.
Well,
yeah,
it's a West world to get,
to kind of explain the plot line up until this point.
And then,
so we're standing there and then finally a woman comes up and makes an announcement.
Okay, everybody, if you would like to buy any Live with Kelly and Ryan merchandise,
you do it over there.
You will not lose your place in line.
Nice.
So that was the announcement, and then eventually, after a few more announcements, they let us in.

Really can't
And they
So we had seen beforehand
Who the guests were gonna be
Yeah
And so it was Lupita Nyong'o.
Sounds like a soccer player.
I don't know who that is.
She's in Us.
Oh, amazing.
Yeah, yeah.
I regret saying what I just said.
I love that movie and her performance specifically.
And then Alyssa Milano.

Fear?
Yeah.
I love Fear.
That was on our roller coaster.
It was?
Yeah.
Playland?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know it was that one.
That one's scary and rickety.
Yeah.
It had no maintenance on it ever, I don't think.
I used to work at Playland.
That was like my first job.
What did you do?
I worked in this kid zone, and it was such a bad job because your ride pass didn't count
in there, but the lineups were so long that you only found that out when you got to the
front and had to talk to me. And people got hurt all the time there oh man you know what happened one time
there was this um you know those things you can do where you hit a golf ball and tells you how
fast you hit it i was working that one day and this kid hit hit a golf ball so hard it ripped
through the mesh and went into the like food fair and hit someone in the back and they dropped their child it was the worst experience i've ever had i just
left yeah i was like 14 i was like yeah yeah i remember what the uh how fast it said he hit it
it was like 50 something i think fast enough to hurt a grown man and his child. And then it was funny because if you got it over a certain speed,
I was supposed to give them a sleeve of golf balls,
but I misunderstood and was giving whole cases away.
And so I got in trouble for that also.
That was a bad job.
And your sleeves were filled with golf balls.
Yeah.
So those two guests.
Yeah.
And then, so, and then like, but in the breaks they are working they're constantly hustling before so before the show while we were all lined up this
guy was like okay so we do this segment between the the in the commercial breaks where you you
go does anyone have like a special talent and you get to talk to ryan and kelly uh and the the audience coordinator was like do you
have a talent does anyone have a talent oh you you look like julianne moore and he was just fixated
on this woman who kind of looked like julianne moore could you do a scene from boogie nights
yeah we have roller skates
um oh and the uh so they they have the you you know they have their trivia
dancer okay yeah yeah yeah so when they do travel trivia they have an audience member who dances
with like cool confetti going around and before the show starts they do an audition so like when
everyone's sitting in their chairs gelman comes out and
it's like gelman's still there yeah he teaches everyone how to clap for tv nice clap fast don't
clap loud oh okay um good to know yeah and then he uh says does anyone want to dance and this
18 year old girl's arm shoots up like she's the like she knows the answer yeah yeah yeah like she's been dying to do this
her whole life
and they're like
okay anyone else
and like
some dorky moms
yeah
guess who won
dorky moms
yeah
absolutely
this girl was
kicking
and like
like getting up
in other dancers
faces and stuff
so competitive
yeah
but he's probably like
it's too much
it's too much
yeah I'm producing a late night show that you might be perfect for Oh no Kelvin was Yeah He was probably like It's too much It's too much Yeah
I'm producing a late night show
That you might be perfect for
So yeah
We did the whole live show
And then they said
If anyone wants to stick around
We're going to shoot
Two more guests
No way
And
So we were like
Yeah
And Kelly came out
In different clothes
Because it was going to be
The Friday episode
Right
And so they were like
Okay
Please welcome to the stage Michelle Pfeifferiffer wow good thing yeah so she was super boring
didn't want to be there yeah what was she there to promote uh maleficent oh yeah oh and then
we were like okay the next guest is going to be less famous than Michelle Pfeiffer. And they said, please welcome Dame Julie Andrews.
What?
Yeah, Mary Poppins.
That's amazing.
Wow.
Catwoman and Mary Poppins together again.
Why did they order the guests like that?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Those are for the real fans who stuck through it.
I mean, I guess Maleficent is a Disney movie that is being put out.
Disney owns the show. Yeah. I mean, I guess Maleficent is a Disney movie that is being put out by the Disney owns the
show.
So.
Right.
That's like how Prince, when the last time he played at an arena in Vancouver, he ended
the show and then 40 minutes later played Purple Rain.
That's what happened to you at that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Stuck around.
You got Purple Rain.
I got Purple Rain.
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
That was good. Yeah. And the next day got purple rain. That's pretty good. Yeah, that was good.
The next day we went to see a play.
We saw To Kill a
Mockingbird with Jeff Daniels
from Dumb and Dumber.
He wore the haircut from Dumb and Dumber.
He did a mock.
Yeah!
That was the whole play.
That's great.
Was it good? Yeah, it was good i mean you know it's just people
pretending yeah that's true that's true and everyone in the room is like has to act like
they don't know it's just like come on applaud loud because this isn't for tv applaud loud not
fast and there was like a fight in the seats next to us oh really people play people got there late
and then they were like you're in my seat but
and they were 20 minutes late and no you're but you have to move and just want a guy behind with
like sit down oh i love new york yeah um i love the the places i've seen fights the shows i've
been to are not the shows you think there'd be fights like i've seen insane clown posse several
times great vibe no fights radiohead i saw a fight
oh really yeah it was this guy he's like it was at thunderbird stadium and this guy was just so
drunk he kept falling on me and then i was holding him off and then i just moved and he fell on this
guy over here and they got into a fight right and then at ween a guy got like two guys next to me
got into a fist fight in the middle of the show. Something about Ween strikes me that there would be a fist fight at Ween.
Yeah.
But Radiohead, you think everybody would be too down.
Yeah.
Too depressed.
Hard to fight when you're depressed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've seen, I think maybe Radiohead three or four times.
And my most vivid memory as being behind a woman who was on her boyfriend's shoulders
and during creep during the whole show but they did the show talk show host oh i was at that one
yeah yeah and um he uh the he's it's the line is uh i'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches. And I just remember this woman miming.
No!
She did a gun in one hand and then just holding a Subway sub in the other hand.
Don't.
Cool.
Just so everyone knows she knows the lyrics.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Camera guy, get her.
Why are you filming that York guy right now?
She's doing the dance.
She's doing space work.
Doing sandwich work.
Sounds like a fun trip.
It was a fun trip.
You still got chicken left over.
We made it through most of it over the next few days.
Was it good?
Yeah, but you know what?
It wasn't as good as everything else we ordered.
Oh, right.
Like, I would have been bummed if this was the meal.
Well, that's why that's the deal.
They're trying to unload all that mediocre chicken.
Yeah, yeah.
Gotta get rid of this somehow.
I mean, don't they have, like, some kind of gun that could shoot chicken out at people?
That's also why they gave you four spots, so you bring more people to eat that boring chicken.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they gotta figure it spots. So you bring more people to eat that boring chicken. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well,
they got to figure it out.
Well,
or do they,
they end up just giving a lot of free chicken away.
Yeah.
Uh,
we didn't order this.
Well,
I guess we're given,
well,
you can take it home.
Um,
what else are you going to do with it?
You know,
feed it to,
uh,
a couple of dogs and they eat it and then meet in the middle.
Yes.
Uh, well, it was when, yeah, really long spaghetti chicken, Feed it to a couple of dogs and they eat it and then meet in the middle and kiss.
Well, it was one, yeah, really long spaghetti chicken.
One big noodley chicken.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's up with you?
I, this past week, traveled, not for pleasure, for work, to Cornwall, Ontario.
But you had just been there for pleasure. That's right. Yeah was like maybe i'll go revisit the sites uh i went to cornwall and where's that that is uh
it's like right on the canadian american border and right on the ontario quebec border oh so it's
kind of in uh cornwall in eng England is right at the very South.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like they name is right on the water and I feel like they,
they name places Cornwall if they're right,
like next to something.
Yeah.
I think that's over Cornwall is the,
the road that's right by the beach.
Yeah.
And that's what this is.
It's right on the St.
Lawrence.
Uh,
and it's,
uh,
it's nice.
It's very like,
uh, cute town. Very town very like um you know like something that like a stephen king novel would be set in okay like that kind of you
know like yeah like just like a like there's a main street with like uh you know a clothing store
that's been there for 75 years uh you know there was like one we were driving down the main
street nobody was on it except a kid wearing a spooky halloween mask and i was like oh this is it
um but i couldn't believe like uh the whole town we were driving through like the neighborhoods
everybody's house was done up for oh for halloween they
participate yeah yeah in a big like yeah there wasn't one house that wasn't uh decorated in some
capacity which i thought was very like because in vancouver you could go you could go blocks
and blocks yeah you've got nice you've got some nice uh spooky stuff Yeah Pretty scary Some Like Mummies
Sure
Yeah
Got some ghosts
We got some ghosts
Some mummies
And a pumpkin
Yeah
But your neighbors don't
You've got to pick a pumpkin or two
Yeah the neighbors on that side don't
But the ones on the other side have a
A little graveyard
Nice
Yeah
But we
Like when I was a kid
We just put out a pumpkin
Yeah
Would you go see because i remember
at christmas time my mom would take me to go see the house with lots of christmas lights at
christmas time and that was so cool yeah would you guys do that we would do that yeah and i think
there's like a neighborhood that the whole street that's right yeah but we never did it we never
went to it but you heard about it yep and that's what's important yeah that's true i feel like that street at halloween does like the biggest fireworks display oh okay yeah i don't like that
yeah i don't like fireworks you know like i feel like the same people who fought at the
wean concert it's a lot of those guys at the fireworks yeah yeah yeah that checks out yeah yeah the math on that is right yeah um so i went to cornwall and my uh
my aunt was visiting friends there so i got to see her and my parents came out because she was there
so it was a real family jamboree uh family's all about family yeah that's it's. We're all about family and food, folks, and fun. That's us.
I hear Dave has some chicken he can give you guys.
Yeah. Well, my dad would be interested in talking about this chicken acquisition. took uh i took a train from uh from cornwall to uh to toronto wow and uh it's uh here's the thing
is i was like when i was getting it booked the person that was booking it was like are you fine
to sit backwards the whole time and i was like yeah probably and upside down yeah yeah yeah i'm
like what's your um Gravitron experience?
But I was like, yeah, I think I'm fine.
I don't get car sick or whatever.
I think this will be fine.
But going backwards on a train is much bumpier than a car.
And yeah, it was pretty nauseous.
Was it?
Yeah.
Did you go
You were with the debaters
Yeah
Did everyone take the same train
No I was on the train
Just me
Oh
Cause I stayed an extra day
For the family jamboree
Oh flamboree
Yeah
And
And they
Like there was food
You could get food on the train
Really
And
It's
It's like I guess
You know what
Plane travel used to be like Okay what plane travel used to be like.
Okay.
You know, there used to be like a meal and, you know, a glass of wine and it was.
Smoking.
Yeah, there's smoking.
Yeah, I smoked on the train.
Yeah.
Well, you and I, we took a train from Ottawa to Toronto.
Yeah.
And that was, I don't remember which way we faced.
Yeah.
Like I say, I didn't think that I would, I didn't remember which way we faced. Yeah. Like, like I say, I didn't think that I would, uh, would, I didn't think it would affect me, but, uh, yeah, something, I think it was the combination of seeing everything going in reverse and the like constant bumping.
Yeah.
Like it's, it's not smooth.
Like it's, it's not smooth.
It was like, I remember going through those Ontario cities and like looking up, oh, what did their factory used to be?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What did they used to make here in this?
Macintosh toffee.
Oh.
Ooh, cars.
Ooh.
The train sounds fun to me.
Like I get excited to go on the sea bus.
Yeah.
The sea buses.
That's a smooth ride
how long is the c bus like 15 minutes yeah 15 minutes in paradise
not in heaven i don't know i guess no yeah i guess it didn't happen
i've got two tickets to paradise right right let's do the math on that. I bought four Jeeps after Jeremy Renner.
But, yeah, like, I think four hours on the train, that's, like, maximum train.
Yeah, that's a long one.
Yeah.
Did you, so there was food.
Was it, like, bringing, they brought it in a cart, or did you go to a dining car?
No, they brought it in a cart, and it go to a dining car Yeah No they brought it in a cart
And it was
You know
It was like warm
You know
Not just like a fruit plate
Or whatever
Although the fruit plate was
Mostly melon
They should just call it a melon plate
Yeah
Don't get
Don't get my expectations up
Do you not like that
I like melon
But if it says fruit plate
Yeah
You like a melon
Maybe drill a hole in a melon, put it in the microwave.
Yeah.
Practice for Halloween.
Warm melon, sir.
It's summertime, late summer, early.
Before gourd season.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, I got to take a train and then flew back. Didn't take the train all the way back no no i decided
against this it was on the table three three how long it take three days what's the uh the people
take a train to the rockies right yeah that's like uh people do that for pleasure yeah not just to
get from point a to point b yeah and i think there's a lot of train trips that are sold as like, that's the vacation.
And you sleep on it?
You sleep on it.
And you like, they'll stop places and you'll get off.
But the whole thing is that you're on this train.
It's like a cruise, but you're on a train.
Yeah.
But constantly, you're just constantly being jostled.
Yeah. What's the longest train trip you've ever taken? But constantly, you're just constantly being jostled.
Yeah.
What's the longest train trip you've ever taken?
I don't think I've ever done one.
And I kind of want to, like, it sounds fun to me. And I've never been on a cruise and I like that idea too.
And I was looking that, because I fly to LA so much.
And it's pretty cheap to fly there, like round trip even.
I just did, it was under $300 round trip.
Wow.
But I was looking at a cruise just to
just curious and it was like the same price 300 bucks for a cruise yeah yeah was this like a
three-day thing though some sort of wean cruise yeah yeah it's like they punch you in the face
yeah yeah yeah they're there i love how there are those like metal cruises and stuff though like
that'd be the staff's nightmare i think it's like megadeth's crew it's all megadeth fans and
you have to work on it all those cruises yeah it would be a nightmare what they don't tell you is
that you're just a portion of the cruise like there's other stuff happening on the cruise oh
right i think maybe some of the really big ones like is the whole it's maybe yeah but like uh
you know like basically this event has booked off these you know yeah oh like
ballrooms oh okay cool for this time right but the rest of the time you're just like uh hobnobbing
with uh you know people who are just on a cruise yeah yeah um oh yeah that was like at the beginning
of this journey i had to go to victoria
and i got to the hotel and i'm just like i'm just lucky with hotels and my room being ready
when i get there and uh i got to that it's not been my experience with you
i find that usually they have all feather pillows that you need to yeah that's true
feather pillows always but uh this place they Yeah, that's true. Feather pillows always.
But this place, they were like, oh, sorry, it's super busy.
There's no room available.
But it was like pouring rain outside, so I just slept in the lobby.
Oh, no.
Because I was there like hours and hours.
Did you book the room?
Yeah, yeah.
But it just wasn't ready.
Oh, I see.
I didn't sleep
overnight
oh okay
but the staff
had to look at you
and be like
this is our fault
yeah yeah yeah
we can't
tell him to go away
we cannot ask him
to leave
as he's fallen asleep
in the lobby
did you wake up
in a bed
now that's service
yeah
had a bed in another hotel
we just needed to get you out sir
yeah
yeah so all in all
you know
it wasn't as glamorous
as going to
a live with
Kelly
no that's true
what is
no
nothing
there was a
there was like
so
just in the row ahead of us and like three
people to the right there was this girl yeah maybe a woman at a very like a maybe 18 19 uh
not a girl not yet yeah i mean right a woman legally yeah i guess sure but she had A stuffed
Mark Consuelos pillow
That's Kelly Ripa's husband
Oh nice
So like a life size
Mark Consuelos is in Vancouver a lot
Shooting Riverdale
Oh
And so she had this pillow
And she kept like
Kelly
Kelly
And no one
Like
Acknowledged her
No one acknowledged her
Right
The people next to us were like that poor girl oh
no she brought this pillow and this is she's built this up in her head that they're gonna
have this moment yeah and then for her and then she stuck around for the second show
they had that moment it was they did yeah was michelle fiverr like hey look
hello for but yeah between commercial in commercial break she came over
and like they had they took selfies together they talked about it i feel like most that's like
most of the job that they have is taking selfies yeah fans that's like it the show is that you know
that's the cornerstone but then the rest of it is taking self-defense. That's the job. Yeah. But it does come out.
It's like, I mean, we've done live podcasts, and you feel the need to, like, get the audience laughing pretty soon.
Yeah.
They had no, there was such restraint with that.
They were like, well, let's be boring for 10 minutes in our little pre-guest spiel.
Because they don't want to set it up to like it's like oh man that this isn't the view yeah that was
come sign my album
joy joy have you guys been to like a late night taping before no uh when ivan went on conan i
went with him and it's shockingly quiet in there
and like no one's voice is really amplified and so i feel like for the comedian who has to go
after two interviews it's kind of a weird context now to just switch everyone's mood to stand up
it seems like a tough gig you know yeah and the i feel like the crowd is like in politeness mode
so rather than necessarily like dying laughing, they'll clap a lot.
You know, it'll be like, it's this guy's, this is this guy's dream we're watching.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We don't care.
Yeah.
He's not, we're not a fan of him yet.
Yeah.
It's not our dream.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you really have to quiet down to even hear what they're saying on stage.
Really?
Yeah.
It was like that with the show.
It was like, oh, is there,
there's maybe a tiny
bit of amplification.
Right.
But literally,
you're just listening
to people talk
in a big room.
Yes.
Weird.
Weird.
But fun.
Also,
where do you get
one of these
Consuelo
life-size pillows?
I think you just need
like one of those iron-on patches from a giant printer. A giant man-size pillows. I think you just need one of those iron-on patches
from a giant printer.
A giant man-size printer.
You already have the man-shaped pillow.
It's up to you what goes on it.
That's right.
Yeah, we got the size.
You just gotta print your favorite man on it.
Yeah, we have the Avery man labels.
Your favorite man. Do we want, we have the Avery man labels. Your favorite man.
Do we want to move on to a bit of business?
I don't know.
All right.

Okay.
All right.
We were talking off mic about movie heckles, and sometimes movie heckles are just as good as dialogue in the movie.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
We were talking about specifically trailers.
Yeah, yeah.
So comedian Gina Harms said that she heard at a movie trailer it ended and it was awkward and someone just went junk and that made me laugh and that's a great heckle.
Yeah.
I remember when I went and saw a movie and there was,
remember that Mel Gibson movie
Payback?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember there's a part in it
where there's like a character
and she's like very
sadomasochistic
and then Mel Gibson
punches her in the face
and then some guy behind me went,
yeah, bet you like that.
Standing ovation
in the theater.
Everyone laughed so hard.
Wow. And even though I was like a kid, I was like, that's kind of hacky. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. standing ovation in the theater everyone laughed so hard wow
and even though
I was like a kid
I was like
that was kind of hacky
yeah yeah yeah
you're like
hey I'm trying to
watch Payback
yeah
me and my grandfather
were enjoying it
up till now
sorry
let's all stand up
and turn around
and clap for you
that is the heckler's dream
that the audience
is like
no him
he should be up there
you should be payback
that's the character's name
yeah
Dave you've got
you said you've got
oh so many
yeah this will be
I'll be rolling these out
over the next month
yep
November is New York
overheard month here on podcasting yourself.
Or most of them are from airports.
Yeah.
On the way to and from.
But I just, the first day when we were coming from the train station, going to the apartment,
I was just like overwhelmed by uh how new york everything was uh so like
on that first day we saw a goth grandma oh nice what yeah we saw an indian guy from india yeah
south asian guy who looked like chris lock oh yeah uh we saw a guy in a suit, like, on his lunch break, eating yellow bell pepper.
Just like an apple?
Like an apple, yeah.
Holy.
Like the guy from Iron Chef.
That's so bad.
Yeah.
The intro of Iron Chef.
Wow.
Maybe that's where he got it from.
And then, as I was walking, I heard two women behind me, and one of them said, New York,
the big heart.
That's not what it is they had it wrong
they must not be from there yeah they probably saw that got it confused with the shirts yeah
high apple new york yes chicago the windy building yeah the windy weather the windy building
um yeah it's pretty good pretty good Pretty Yeah I was walking there
Yeah yeah yeah
That's right
I was walking there
And they do
It was very specific
Nevermind
I like where you're going
With that
I'm trying to get like
I was
I'm walking in the lab
Halloween themed
Yeah Halloween themed
Monster Mash city
And let me say i listen to the monster
mash all year round i think it's bigger than the holiday yeah yeah yeah it's my workout
um what's your workout uh rattling chains yeah
i do chains like those ropes
battle chains yeah yeah um can I ask you something
yeah
whatever happened
to my Transylvania twist
yeah
that's a very good question
what's that
that's from
it's from the Monster Man
that's a lyric
it sounds like another song
the music cuts out
and he says
whatever
I've been doing
I've been doing
I've been doing
it's now the mash
I love that that song
is like a doo-wop song kind of yeah it's now the mash i love that that sounds like a doo-wop song kind yeah
and it's beautiful it is it has like this weird distinction because uh back in the
like radio dj days where they would play singles and stuff yeah it would chart every year because
they would play it in october so it's been on the billboard charts more than any other.
It's also got the weird distinction of every U.S. president
since like 1965 has been conceived to it.
Really?
Yeah.
Makes sense to me.
Yeah.
I'm just realizing most of the presidents were born after that.
Or were born before that song.
Yeah. But future born before that song. Yeah.
But future presidents.
Maybe Obama.
I love that you know birthday stats of all the presidents.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You got to.
It's a cool thing to get into.
Yeah.
It's just knowing how old people are.
And how old songs are.
My overheard is two gals at the airport talking about
having to do a group
project at school.
Oh yeah.
And
those are the worst.
That was always the worst
part of school,
group projects.
Yeah.
So this girl,
she was preaching to the choir
about how bad
group projects were
and she said,
I should be able to just
finish the project
and go watch Joker
and relax.
Have a nice relaxing afternoon.
Yeah.
Watch Joker.
It's,
it's always stressful because it's,
that's the kind of social aspect of like,
well,
I can't discipline you for not doing enough work.
I mean,
I'm told I was always the one who didn't do enough work.
Me too. I was actually a terrible student. Were you guys good students told I was always the one who didn't do enough work. Oh, me too.
I was actually a terrible student.
Were you guys good students?
I was a good student.
You were?
Yeah.
Mediocre student.
But what did it get me?
Nothing.
I disagree.
I think you're very successful.
Well,
thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Uh,
my teachers would disagree.
They all said,
you're going to go to prison.
And you were a good student,
you thought?
Oh yeah,
wait.
What class was that?
Gym.
Yeah, shift class.
Shift class.
Shift class.
It was a rough school, I tells you.
Yeah.
Well, it was the school of hard knocks, right?

This first one comes from Scott W. in Omaha, Nebraska.
There's a table of guys behind me.
This is at Pub Trivia.
And one of them says to the rest, Dude, we're thinking about getting matching Harambe tats at my bachelor party.
Dave just hung his head in the field.
Harambe tats at my bachelor party.
My wife's going to, she's going to go over the moon for this.
What year was this sent in?
This was sent in very recently.
This isn't an old timey.
But those guys, they were living in the past. Yeah.
That's great.
Look what they're drinking.
The love of Harambe is unhealthy.
People are too into it.
For society.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we need to
get over it.
You know what I mean?
I think people got over it right away
and they just thought it was a funny thing to do.
Yeah.
And also, you can picture the type
of person who would think getting a tattoo
of Harambe would be hilarious.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And getting matching ones with your friends
before your wedding.
On your face.
Yeah.
What would it be?
A gorilla?
Just waving?
Yeah.
Waving.
What did he, what did Harambe do?
He got shot.
He got shot because a kid fell in his enclosure.
Yeah.
See, I thought we were talking about the tiger for a second, but that was a totally different.
Oh. From the rich guy shot. Siegfried andclosure. Yeah. See, I thought we were talking about the tiger for a second, but that was a totally different. Oh.
That the rich guy shot. Siegfried and Royd.
Oh.
Siegfried and Royd.
I did say Royd.
I was not getting over that.
There's no coming back from that.
I said Siegfried and Royd.
But that would be a very funny thing to call two really muscly guys.
Yeah. Check out Siegfried and Reuter.
Like if you're getting heckled at a show by two muscly guys.
Muscly, bleach blonde German dudes.
The audience would react the same way as they did at Paycheck.
Payback.
Payback.
Guys, look at that karma.
Goes around, comes around. Payback. Look at that karma. Goes around, comes around.
Paycheck.
This next one comes from
Alice M.
I was working in the children's section
when I overheard a little girl
playing with the dollhouse and the accompanying dolls.
She picked up two, had them
face one another, and then had the little
doll say to the bigger doll,
Grandma, you're the worst.
Yeah. Just like we practiced in therapy the therapy to get you to tell off your grandma yeah grandma everything you do is so old
um i wonder what store that was just said it was working in the children's section
Zellers
Does that exist anymore Zellers?
No
It was bought by Target and then they opened Target Canada
And then they closed Target Canada
They did?
That was quick
Oh it was in about 3 months
Carly Rae did a theme song for that
With Lil Yachty
They covered It takes two to make a thing go right Ray did a theme song for that ad campaign. Really? With Lil Yachty. Oh, Lil Yachty was involved?
They covered,
It takes two to make a thing go right.
That's right.
Wow.
Didn't work on that one, unfortunately, guys.
Sorry to disappoint you.
No, it's okay.
Okay.
Yeah, it's all right.
It's just any mention of Lil Yachty,
I get excited, you know,
because I think good times are on their way.
This final one comes from Doug F.
I was at a coffee shop downtown.
Two guys just walked in.
They all appear to be in their mid-20s and were wearing luxury streetwear clothes.
Don't know what that means.
Yeah.
Like how we dress.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Expensive.
Yeah.
Luxury streetwear.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Expensive.
Yeah.
Luxury street wear.
After getting coffees and sitting down in a booth nearby,
a third friend pulled up outside on a bird scooter and walked in carrying a bag of takeout food from the old spaghetti factory
and handed his friends each a container.
One guy took a huge pull of his pasta, then took a bite,
then looked surprised yet impressed
and said
man that still slaps
oh no
I hate slang
oh man
still slap
that could be the slogan
of the old
spaghetti factory
still slaps
still slaps
I
on Instagram

a place where I'm just in a neutral place
I always just say
I'm at the Old Spaghetti Factory
I just put that as my location
my band did that
with a location once and they DM'd us
to not do that
I can't remember what it was, it was like a joke location
and they were like, take us seriously

I did uh when I went to a wedding
In Bucaramanga Columbia
Two years ago

This is Chris from Ancato with an overheard.
I went to my friend's house with my kid in a car seat carrier thingy,
and I sat my boy down, and my buddy's kid came over and said,
whose baby?
And my buddy said, Chris's.
And the kid said nice nice cherry cherry baby
can I smell it yeah baby's head what year is that yeah oh I got a poster of uh Ann Getty's just
looks just like this baby yeah um yeah uh you know you know a good baby when you see it you know there

smiling at everybody oh boy yeah i listened to your episode with kathleen mcgee on the way here
and you were also talking about ann getty's and babies yeah yeah comes up a lot it's like a weekly
yeah this is i mean and did you ever figure out if Celine Dion did have it?
Yeah, yeah.
Because I think she did.
Yeah, no, I found it about a minute after.
I guess you stopped listening a minute into the show.
I was just buying an Ann Getty's calendar.
I may have missed it.
No, I think it was maybe, it was like a Celine Dion album or something called Miracle.
Yeah.
And it had both their names on it, Celine Dion and Ann Getty.
Wow.
Miracle, I'm not sure. I wonder who's
the better singer. I don't know.
This podcast was originally
an Anne Getty's podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It just got involved over time.
There's just so many of them. Like that location that
told you to untag them.
Anne Getty's was like,
I'm not a joke photographer.
Yeah, yeah. Stop making fun of my baby portraits.
Here's your next phone call.
Hello, Dave Green, and most likely a lustrous special guest.
This is just Dave calling in with an overheard.
It's getting a little chilly here in Alberta,
and I was walking into a local mom-and-pop Walmart here,
and there were these two guys walking in,
two kind of bigger tattooed guys and they weren't
wearing jackets and the one looked at the other and said hey we could be no jacket buddies and
the other goes yeah our code word can be burr i just thought that was a real wholesome moment
between two possible bikers so oh that is nice those guys possible bikers yeah i like uh that
we would be jacket no jacket brothers yeah they could be if they were bikers. Yeah, I like that we would be jacket, no jacket brothers.
Yeah.
If they were bikers, then everybody else is wearing vests.
Yeah.
They're the no jacket brothers.
That's fine.
The thing that perplexed me about this call is he said he was walking into a mom and pop Walmart.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe that's what they call Walmarts that aren't like a super center or something.
No McDonald's in it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just like a small.
Or is he just referring to like a grocery store?
Like a family owned store.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like a Walmart, but like owned by just like.
Like a mom and a, I guess like another word for dad.
Yeah.
It's like a people think tissues are just called Kleenex.
This is the brand.
So this guy thinks grocery stores are all called Walmarts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like that.
I went in the target Walmart the other day.
Not in Canada.
That's gone.
No.
Yeah.
Thanks a lot.
Little yuck.
Final phone call.
Hi,
Graham,
Dave and lovely guest.
This is Liz calling with an overheard from Pittsburgh.
Uh,
last Friday I was lucky enough to get to go to a My Brother, My Brother and Me live show.
And sitting behind me were, I think, the quintessential MBM fans.
During the intermission, I heard one of them say to their group,
the thing about wrestling fan fiction is that, like, if you're a horny for The Undertaker,
there's a lot of
good stuff out there
but there's a lot of
room in the market
for Chris Jericho
to like
motorboat Dwayne
the Rock or whatever
whoa
holy
yeah
the market demands it
I guess
yeah
I guess the
Undertaker would be
you know
he's mysterious
his real part's unknown
is she insinuating
there's a lot of fan fiction
about the undertaker out there yeah joy okay sexual apparently yeah okay erotic fan fiction
about the undertaker um and you know what i support it yeah me too yeah especially in this
halloween it's a good uh rest i can't do it with kane because I know he's got the limits. I'm a woman if he's with someone the appropriate age.
