Starting point is 00:02:54 The Momo Challenge is when a kid is watching an innocent looking video and then a spooky person named Momo comes out and tells them to kill themselves. But that, was that a challenge? I know, I was like, how do you... It raised a lot of money for Lou Gehrig's right. Comes out and tells them to kill themselves. But that, was that a challenge? I know, I was like, how do you? It raised a lot of money for Lou Gehrig's disease. Well, good for them. Yeah. Should we get to know us?
Starting point is 00:03:15 Yeah. Get to know us. Morgan, Morgan. Yes. I have a, so the way these episodes have been rolling out the last few weeks, because the show, over 11, 12 years, has taken on many forms. And lately... It started as a feminist podcast, keeping you in tune with the news of the day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I got my break. Then it was politically incorrect talk. Right? And then it was... Sports. right and then uh then it was sports then it was sports for a long time yeah then just traffic on the ones and we would not do anything between the ones traffic on the six traffic on the nines nothing in the middle but upside down traffic on the nines uh but uh the last couple months or so it seems to be a lot of guests who are joining us on the like one year anniversary of when they were last here yeah oh
Starting point is 00:04:11 so maddie kelly got to fill us in on you know the calendar year she and graham had done a uh a bet last year and we we figured out the results of it yeah year. And I was just remembering the last time you were here was one year ago exactly. Was it really? No. Pot had just become legalized. Oh, yeah. And you took too much of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:35 How's that going? Well, even at that point, I was practicing. You were practicing becoming a kooky pot lady. Yeah, I was working my way up to being able to handle it. Now, I'm doing great, up to being able to handle it. Now, I'm doing great, guys. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Are you doing shatter? Is that another Momo thing? No, it's like a hardened resin or something like that. New England clam shatter. No, no, no. Sorry, I'm getting over a cold. Pardon my squeaky voice. Fine. My constant coughing into the microphone.
Starting point is 00:05:09 That's always nice with a lady. Caramels are my new thing. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Now, just eating the things is better because I don't like the inhaling of things. Sure. Right. Oh, so you get a pot caramel.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. And does it taste at all like pot? It does a little bit. Right. Oh, so you get a pot caramel. Yeah. And does it taste at all like pot? It does a little bit, but mostly caramelly. Yeah, but it doesn't taste so good that you would just
Starting point is 00:05:32 absentmindedly eat That you want to just eat. Exactly. No, it doesn't. Okay. Not good. You didn't hand any out for Halloween, I hope.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I'm surprised I haven't heard any news stories. Shoot, I've been wondering where my caramels went. News stories about people handing out whatever, dozens of dollars of... Yeah, I was doing that.
Starting point is 00:05:50 What's a candy... What's a caramel cost? Oh, I don't know. My wife orders the things that I don't even know. She just does. She just does it. They just show up? Yeah, in the mail.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Do you keep them in a candy dish? We have a box that ironically was given to us by the Big Brothers organization. We can't put our things in. Although, so there's the caramels that I have that are 10 milligrams because I'm a lightweight. That sounds like a lot to me. I don't think. I mean, is a milligram like a kilogram?
Starting point is 00:06:21 Yeah. Exactly. And then Michelle got some other, like, they're like 50 or something like that and she put those
Starting point is 00:06:29 in the safe so I don't accidentally take one and then just go off and tell a hundred. You have a safe? You have a drug safe? Well,
Starting point is 00:06:37 it's not, it's not a drug safe. What else is in there and what's the combination? It's, um's 609. Do you have a safe? I have a thing that I put documents in that's fireproof. But it's not really a safe.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Does that count? I don't know. I mean, I only ever use like a hotel safe. To put a passport in. Yeah. In case the maid wants passport in. Yeah. In case the maid wants my passport. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I mean, I've never, I've used those safes, but I'm always scared that I'll forget the combination that I just made up for it. Right. So I just kind of leave, leave the safe alone. But you have one in your house. Yeah. So. Filled with drugs, overflowing. Yeah. Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs one in your house. Yeah. Filled with drugs, overflowing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs. Yeah. Nice. I mean, it has like important documents and I don't even know what else is in there.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I don't go in there. That's where the scary drugs are. Yeah, no, that's true. You're not, you have no business in there. No, I stay right away from that. I was, I was having like
Starting point is 00:07:42 one and a half caramels, so 15. Then I've just gone back to just one caramel. And then you watch, you know, Koyaanisquatsy or something? I mostly just fall asleep. You go to the animation festival? You know what the good, here's the, I hate that it's taken me to this age to figure this out, but shows that are not good are good.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Oh, sure. Like THC. Right. We watched The Wife, which is good. Which one's The Wife? Oh, is that a show or a movie? A movie. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:20 So good. And I was also like, this movie is so good. And then we were flipping around and I got really mad about the Sherlock Holmes movie with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Yeah. Right. I was like, I love Will Ferrell. Love John C. Reilly.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Love Sherlock Holmes. These three things have no business being in a movie together. And so I was like, let's just see how bad it is. And we started, we thought we'd watch like five minutes of it. Awful. Just awful. And also really, really funny.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Yeah. And now you own a t-shirt with it on it. Well, but I see why, you know, lots of those dumb movies get made.
Starting point is 00:08:58 It's for stoned people. Ah, yeah. The stoned market. Yeah. Exactly. I'm a purist. I go to the robert downey jr uh sherlock holmes i think those are the the kind of the truest essence yeah and they're the og
Starting point is 00:09:12 yeah yeah so it's uh it's weird that they spoofed them so soon after when something's that popular yeah that's you know not another sherlock movie How come, where is the Game of Thrones spoof? Oh, boy. Yeah, do you know what I mean? I mean, that last season was pretty much a spoof. If you ask me, ha ha ha, I didn't watch. But that seemed like a thing that was so big in the culture that there should have been. There probably was.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Where is Mel Brooks on this? See, but that's exactly what we were watching. There should have been. There probably is. Mel Brooks. That's exactly what we were watching. And I said, I can't,
Starting point is 00:09:45 there's, it's not good, but it's Mel Brooks esque, but it's missing something. And my friend said, yeah. Um, so, but that's,
Starting point is 00:09:55 it's that kind of tone. Yeah. And I think that is a bit of a lost genre now. I don't think there's a lot of those. Yeah. There were all the uh not scary scary movies yeah right the not another teen movies the epic movie the whatever but then even those kind of dried yeah and now i don't know i don't know brooks said i don't want to make any more scream movies
Starting point is 00:10:19 he was no no no it was the i never saw them the way i know mel brooks and the wayans as i get them confused a lot yeah yeah well they they uh there's a lot of crossover there um but i uh i demand uh a game of thrones slash lord of the rings spoof and i wouldn't watch it because I don't enjoy the source material. Well, maybe get high. Yeah. I should have brought you a caramel. Yeah. I mean, that's always a good tip for anybody out there. Bring me a caramel.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Usually a Werther's. Yeah, Werther's will do. Absolutely. These are squishy ones. Werther's makes squishy ones. It's a whole new world. I don't like that. absolutely these are squishy ones uh they Werther's make squishy ones what yeah yeah yeah it's a whole new world I don't like that
Starting point is 00:11:09 that's too you only want a hard Werther's yeah okay that's that's fair that's the equivalent of Will Ferrell
Starting point is 00:11:16 and John C. Reilly making a Sherlock Holmes movie is a is a chewy yeah Werther's a chewy Werther's like a spoof
Starting point is 00:11:21 of a regular Werther's exactly yes yeah um the other thing that was happening a year ago I believe I love Werther's is like a spoof of a regular Werther's. Yes. Yeah. The other thing that was happening a year ago, I believe. I love Werther's questions. There was a, and I just, this is, I'm saying the new format of the show is we just, I try to remember what we talked about and we follow up on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Oh. There was a giant piece of furniture that you were trying to get in or out of your house. You guys, it's in. Nice. Okay. Was that where it was trying to go? Yeah. And it was like a 70s entertainment system or something yeah it's a a big console it has a record player it has a television i think that's it but you know the the giant consoles but it has a television in it
Starting point is 00:12:00 that works wow yeah and it was... Color? Uh... I guess it doesn't work great. Oh, okay. I guess you're not watching it a lot. No, but what happened was, which is one of the things that's happened since I was here last, is... Have I ever told you guys about Uncle Fix-It? No. Maybe. Probably. Okay, so our landlords
Starting point is 00:12:19 have this uncle, who we call Uncle Fix-It. I don't know if you ever saw the Richard Pryor show when he plays Mr. Fix it. He's like, just terrible. That's. I didn't see anything old.
Starting point is 00:12:30 I haven't seen anything old. That's right. You saw the, uh, spoof starring Anthony Michael Hall. So. That's new. That's new and hip.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Anthony Michael Hall. Oh, I'm so old. Okay. So, uh'm so old. Okay. So our landlords have this uncle who is like this jack of all trades, master of none. And so we're always sort of hesitant. Thank you. That's him.
Starting point is 00:12:57 That's exactly. Same height. They were sort of hesitant to call them whenever anything needs to be fixed because we know they're going to call. Uncle fixed it. Right. They were sort of hesitant to call them whenever anything needs to be fixed because we know they're going to call Uncle Fix-It. Right. And in the summer, we had a leak, like a water leak. And so they called him and I was like, I feel like this might be a job for a certified plumber. But no, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Well, let's take Uncle Fix-It. Let's let him have a crack at it. Yeah. Well, have a crack at it is literally what Uncle Fixit did. Uh-oh. And hacked apart the main stack. And in doing so, pieces of, it's the original, our house was built in 1923. It's the original cast iron main water stack.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Wow. I don't know what a stack is. Oh, it's like the main water pipe where your sewage all goes out. Goes out? Okay. Yeah. Out the stack. And so. Out the stack.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Yeah. All right. And he. One in the stack, two in the back. He like took a hammer to it and dumb things like that. Well, that's a bad start. And so about a week later after everything was fixed. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I'm making rabbit ears with my fingers. I came downstairs and I heard a weird noise in the kitchen and I went in the sink was like. Oh, no. I'm making rabbit ears with my fingers. I came downstairs and I heard a weird noise in the kitchen and I went in the sink and the sink was like blah, blah, blah. That's not good. So I thought I'm going
Starting point is 00:14:10 to go check downstairs and I walked downstairs just as water starts to flow across the basement floor. Ugh. And so, yeah, anyhow,
Starting point is 00:14:19 shut all the water off and called the landlords and blah, blah, blah. What had happened is that Uncle Fix-It, who has now been renamed uncle fuck it pieces of this cast iron pipe had broken as he was doing this and fallen down the stack which you think you would notice i'm sure he broke from the outside yeah like well inside the house but yes he was But like, it was visibly broken on the outside?
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah, so there was a crack in it, and he took a chunk out of it to replace it with a new piece of pipe. Oh, uncle. But he was like... How old of an uncle is Uncle Fick? I don't know. He's like maybe 40. He's not even... I know, he's not like...
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yeah, he's not like an ancient... I was picturing an ancient man. No, an ancient man would know how to do things properly. That's true. They would know cast iron for sure. Well, yeah, because you've got to season your hands. That's right. Curing it, is that what you call it?
Starting point is 00:15:15 Yeah. So the pieces fell down, and then with the water flow, like... For the home listener, she's doing... I'm doing a emotion with my hand going wobbly and going yep and then just blocked everything that went down and it finally just burst back and so so 30 000 i think was the damage also because then they discovered that the tiles in our basement were asbestos so it needed to be handled differently to be replaced um and their insurance wouldn't pay for it because uncle fuck it is not a certified plumber so lesson of the day always use a certified plumber yeah yeah even if you don't need one
Starting point is 00:15:56 yeah yeah just for anything just date one yeah oh yeah absolutely you know what date somebody in the trades if you're honestly yeah yeah what are you, dating someone with a bachelor's degree? No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no. No. If you, especially if you have a bachelor's degree. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Find somebody with a trade. If you're somebody in the trades, find somebody with a bachelor's degree. And also, by the way, a lot of these people with bachelor's degrees, they're already married. They're not bachelors at all. So, they're leading a double. They're cheating on their wife. Yeah. They're calling themselves yeah and then you do a trade and it's like a wife swap thing that's
Starting point is 00:16:30 right that they think is happening it's it's dating stuff it's a clusterfudge so the point of the story is there hasn't been a lot of time spent in the basement because sewage flood and then it just makes me angry so you have new tiles down there we have some new tiles because they were like the water only went to here so these asbestos tiles can stay
Starting point is 00:16:57 well the thing is with asbestos Dave is that as long as you don't touch it it's fine once you start mucking with it then yeah but just try to stop me from touching it yeah once Dave knows that it long as you don't touch it, it's fine. Once you start mucking with it, then... Yeah, but just try to stop me from touching it. Yeah. Ooh, I'd love to paw at it. Yeah, once Dave knows that it's asbestos, he's going to get his hands off of it.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Oh, jeez. Well, you are not allowed in my basement then. But yeah, we haven't been spending a lot of time. What was the plan for this item? How long, first of all, how long did it take to finally get in? Like, was it... I mean, the job itself was probably a couple minutes.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Yeah, it wasn't long once enough sturdy people came over and actually lifted it. But, I mean, it was. Uncle Lifted. No, I should have called Uncle Lifted. It was, yeah, it was a good, I don't know, I'm going to say three months. Yeah. I don't like to rush into things. Yeah, well, I mean, it's good to have a piece of furniture outside in Vancouver for three months.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. Under a tarp. Yeah. Yeah. That's fine. And what's the, and Michelle does not want it. Well, she just doesn't like me collecting things in general. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:58 What are you collecting currently? Kooky furniture. Yeah. No, I haven't got any furniture in a while i will say cookie jewelry um vintage patterns patterns oh like sewing yeah and what do you do you display them or do you keep them in a file you sew i do so um and i have big plans do so uh i have big plans to use them and mostly don't how many do you like roughly how many i don't have a lot i i it has to be like oh this is really cute and i would like to display it like i got this pattern for um bell-bottom jeans from the 70s and then they're called lady
Starting point is 00:18:39 jeans and they're really that's when ladies were first allowed to wear jeans yeah it was the 70s before uh it was men only dungarees yeah yeah if you pretended that you were a man you could get a pair of yeah you could maybe wear overalls if you were um the son of a southern or daughter of a southern lawyer yeah and you if you if you tucked your hair up under a military helmet, you could fight alongside a Mulan or equivalent. Well, what I love about Mulan is her slacks. Yeah. Well, that's great. What are your ultimate plans for this piece in the basement?
Starting point is 00:19:17 You want it to be like a funky basement? Yeah. I was like, I'm going to make a rec room bar. Did I tell you that I had a bar? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's what we talked about. So I brought in an actual bar. Did the bar survive the flood?
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah, it's on the other side. And the console, the TV record player thing survived too. I came down just in time to throw the towels down. It didn't reach that. But yeah, it's like a hangout space. Yeah, where people can just eat caramels. Eat caramels, just be yourself. Inhale asbestos. throw the towels down and it didn't reach that but yeah it's like a hangout space yeah where people can just eat caramels eat caramels just be yourself inhale asbestos yeah and listen to records that's fun that was a real like uh when i was a kid i think every other friend i had
Starting point is 00:19:59 parents had a basement bar set up and that that was like maybe a holdover from the 70s. Yeah, a big bowl full of keys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the parents were like, just take whatever. Yeah. We couldn't figure this out. Everyone walked home. Yeah, it was before keychains were popular. So I don't know
Starting point is 00:20:19 if it was anybody. So in a 70s key party, and Graham and I weren't born until 1980, so please fill us in. Yeah, we were only, we grew up on 80s Coke parties. I was born in 1970, so yeah, for the first 10 years of my life, let me fill you in on how key parties went. Thank you. So, the, oh, you had a big birthday coming up next year. Shut up, Dave.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I mean, every birthday is big. That's true. I'm not having a midlife crisis about it or anything, so we can move on. Okay. Okay. All right. No, I'm really not. Fine.
Starting point is 00:20:56 I'm fine. I did see you driving around in a kicky little convertible. Dating your secretary. dating your secretary uh i thought uh so in the 70s or whenever key parties were couples would get together at someone's house yeah you put your keys the couple shared a car uh yeah you weren't allowed to take the bus over you put your keys in a ball and then the member of the couple pulls a set of keys out and that whoever keys, whoever's keys they pulled out, they become a sex couple for the night. Yeah. Do they then drive back to the house? I thought that it was, I didn't think that it had anything to do with the car, but I guess maybe it would like the.
Starting point is 00:21:44 I think the sex happened at the party. I don't think, I think it was just a way of, because nobody wanted to cut up little slips of paper to draw. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:53 But I was like, we don't have time for that. Just put your keys in the vault. So, oh, okay. Yeah. So, because that's a good question. I always assumed
Starting point is 00:22:02 that it was the keys and then you went back to the house. But I never thought. That would be a very short party. All right, everybody. Yeah, yeah. Put your keys in the bowl. Can I get you a drink?
Starting point is 00:22:11 No, you're just taking a set of keys and going to have sex in somebody else's house. Sex in my house. What are we going to do with all these bugles? I got some ideas. I mean, I all need one to make a little penis hat see i was just gonna say that was that was explained to you that that was the thing in the 70s you put them all on your fingers and pretend you had long fingernails but clearly you had a whole other thing you did with vehicles um never mind yeah okay so that's it's funny i thought I knew how they worked. I'm still not sure.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Yeah. But, yeah, I guess if it's a party, it's a party. That's true. Yeah. And also, people could afford to have bigger homes back then, so you maybe had more rooms. Yeah. To pair off. People could afford to have bigger cars back then.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Maybe you could just go back and do it in your station wagon. Yeah, unless you had, like, a Gremlin. That's pretty compact. Yeah. For, you know, having sex with some stranger. Or maybe somebody that you know, but are not married. What happens if you get your own keys? That would be nice.
Starting point is 00:23:15 It's like the end of the Pina Colada song. Yeah, it's called the Pina Colada song in brackets. Key Party. Yeah. Key Party Surprise. I read actually recently, and I don't know why I was looking at the definition of Key Party, perhaps in preparation for this, that it was the women would pick the keys. And that's the first time I'd read that. I'd never. Well, yeah, I guess because the men are the ones who have the cars.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Oh, yeah. Gender roles. Yeah. But I guess, you know, because then the men would be like, you picked so and so's keys. I don't want to get in a hole with them. Or they're picking like half of them. Yeah. Like of the couple.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Oh, I thought the woman was, I thought you were like blindfolded and you reached in and it was just random. Oh. Oh. Oh, I don't know. I've never read about a blindfold. I think you probably just maybe turned your face. I don't know. But are you picking or are you picking?
Starting point is 00:24:14 No, you're not picking. There's a claw machine. Yeah, yeah. It was very complex. And do you have a fondue set? I don't. I used to, actually. Are you building a 70s house?
Starting point is 00:24:30 I kind of. Yeah, that's kind of my dream. Yeah. I do not have a fondue set. Okay. No. Well, I know. There you go.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Christmas is around the corner. I'm pretty excited. Because I feel like that's another, like. Totally. Let's get together in the 70s and have let's do some lewds and
Starting point is 00:24:52 some fondudes. Yeah. When have you when was the last time either of you had fondue? Are you vegan? No. Mostly.
Starting point is 00:25:03 But no I haven't I haven't had fondue. And this is the thing i think that's the problem with fondue sets is most everyone has one no one uses one yeah yeah but they i think they look uh they look cool you can keep caramels in there oh yeah yeah they have to be sealed in a box because otherwise i'm afraid that the cats will get into them. Oh, the caramels, not the fondue set. No. Cats love a good fondue. Like dogs playing poker.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Which I have the print of in my basement bar. If you were going to name your basement bar, what would you name it? It is named. Oh, it is named. It's Uncle Bunbury's. Uncle Bunbury's. Yeah, because it's a bunch of the stuff that I have. Like I have a lamp from my friend,
Starting point is 00:25:48 Sanera. That's really cool. That was her uncle's lamp. It's a lot of uncles going on. I know. And then I have a bunch of glassware from my friend, Monica's Uncle K, who was a vaudeville performer.
Starting point is 00:26:00 What? And yeah, he was part of a double act in Scotland and then in England. And then he moved to Canada and was this actor who sort of, you know, he had like a small part in The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and like never really made it big. I don't relate to him at all. So she gave me a bunch of his glassware. He was like the guy who had the basement bar and that you always hang out at his house and everything and the paneled wall and so she gave me a bunch of his stuff so it was very it was like all uncles stuff and it's kind of like like you were saying like every second every one of those uncles could
Starting point is 00:26:33 have fixed the uh better than yeah the vaudevillian definitely had more skills definitely uh so yeah and bunbury is of course our dog's name um who is we have just celebrated four years with our bye hey bun bun yeah happy anniversary big uh what's the cat count in the house oh it's very low oh my god you guys i gotta talk to you about this yeah uh so there are only nine cats in our house right now so there's not there's not enough for one for every month. But close. Yeah. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:27:11 Four of them are the gosh darned podcast kittens. Oh, yeah. Oh, you got these. We still have the podcast kittens that we have now had for a year. So there's these kittens that were available, are still available for adoption named Graham, Dave. Yeah. What were the other two?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Alicia. And well, it was Jessica. Then we realized he was a boy. So then he became, I still call him Jessica, but he doesn't mind. But he's JD. JD. Okay. Also known as Jelly Donut.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Jelly Donut. And Graham never gets called Graham anymore. His name is Biscuit. Okay. Yeah. That's what a lot of people refer to. Yeah, yeah. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Are you talking about the cat or? Oh, yeah. Yeah. At what point, because you were fostering these. We are fostering. We are still fostering them. But at what point does the fostering taper off and then they're just your cats? Well, if
Starting point is 00:28:07 we were millionaires, we would adopt them and just keep them. But we are not millionaires and we cannot afford to feed and take care of cats. And clothe these cats. Clothing bells.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Do they have to be adopted as pairs? As a Retail Nightmares pair and a Stop Podcasting Yourself pair? They're actually, Biscuit and Leashie are the two tabbies, and they are more bonded. Oh. And then Dave and Jadels, they more go together. They're two beautiful black house panthers. But they were feral and really still are. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Biscuit is the friendliest, and he will come up for pets. That's great. Yeah. What is, what, like, I know the word feral, but what is that? Like, with John C. Reilly, and he, they made a movie about. Sherlock Holmes. But what is. Feral just means not tame.
Starting point is 00:29:13 So they didn't have human contact for the first number of months of their lives. And so if you get them when they're little kittens and they're feral, they're hissy and bitey. But within literally days, they're like. Oh, thissy and bitey but within literally days they're like oh this person gives me money yeah i mean food what do you pay these cats these these cats are all about the dollars you're a sugar daddy yeah money can buy you happiness if you're a feral cat um so yeah they they come around pretty quickly if they're little but the older they are the harder it is to tame them right uh and you may not be surprised to hear that dave is the real holdout he treats out of my hand
Starting point is 00:29:58 but dave does not want he won't let you pet him but the problem is that we can't when a potential adopters come to meet them they hide and they won't come out oh the adopters yes i'm like where am i you're behind the curtain yeah so uh if you have any listeners who have a lot of patience and a lot of love to give and don't mind cats that don't care about them yeah well they do and they will and they're getting there
Starting point is 00:30:28 they've made amazing progress from when we first got them but they still have and I've made amazing progress
Starting point is 00:30:35 yeah that's true you will now eat treats out of my hand and you don't hide when company comes over although I might not
Starting point is 00:30:41 anymore if they're full of pot and then the other Although I might not anymore if they're full of pot. And then the other five cats are your cats? Yeah. Okay. Those are permanent house cats. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Okay. What's the most it's ever been? And by which I mean the worst it's ever gotten. Yeah. It was temporary because it was, there was like a distemper outbreak at the shelter. And so we couldn't have animals there. And I was trapping as well, trapping feral cats. And so I, yeah, it was only overnight and it was 23. I like how many qualifiers you had to put in place before you said that number. Because 23 is a big number.
Starting point is 00:31:26 That's huge. There were cats in the garage, there were cats in the basement, bathroom. Oh, yeah. It would be very 101 Dalmatians. Yeah. Wherever. Yeah. They can't just run around, lose 23 of them.
Starting point is 00:31:37 So, yeah. Aw. 23 cats. Yikes. Yeah. One, and I start getting itchy. Yeah. I think it would just die.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah. It probably would. I wonder, yeah Yeah I think it would just die Yeah It probably would I wonder yeah I guess your air holes Yeah Filled up with With cat With dander Dander
Starting point is 00:31:52 Yeah And then it's the breathing It's the breathing You wouldn't hives to death Well maybe I mean Inner hives You know
Starting point is 00:32:00 When we turn the heat on In the winter every year We vacuum out the vents. Yeah. And it's impressive. So maybe you should just let me vacuum out your vents once a year. Come over, big boy. Let me vacuum out your vents.
Starting point is 00:32:16 That's a little heard of parties that we had in the 70s. The 70s vacuum party. Yes. Vacuuming. Yeah. I do like the 70s vacuum part. Yes, vacuuming. Yeah, I do like the 70s aesthetic. I can see why that would be like a fun, you've got a whole section of your house that's 70s.
Starting point is 00:32:36 The rest of the house, what era? Mixed? Well, our house is really bonkers. Our house, it was built in 1923. It looks like the house from Amityville Horror, which also you are too young, but there was a remake. Oh, yeah, there's 1923. It looks like the house from Amityville Horror, which also you are too young, but there was a remake. So you probably, Oh yeah,
Starting point is 00:32:48 it's cool. I don't know if it was the same shape of house. Scary movie was kind of a spoof of it. Oh boy, I love it. There you go. Um, and it was owned by the,
Starting point is 00:32:58 the same family, the whole, it's never been owned by another family. It's still owned by that family? Uh, no. Oh, the, uh The baby of the family Who was 88
Starting point is 00:33:08 Then sold the family Too old to be a baby Yeah, yeah Call me old-fashioned I think 88's too old to be a baby Grow up, Bart Yeah He sold the house to our landlords
Starting point is 00:33:20 Who live across the street from us Sold it for a bunch of formula and the rattles. I don't know. I was like, what? Oh, yeah. What are babies into? Diapers? Diaper things? A collectible Caillou doll.
Starting point is 00:33:40 That's what he was into. But he was very eccentric and I think a hoarder and lived in you know like one room in this four bedroom house as a hoarder i i insist that the next owners have 23k well it's funny though because uh oftentimes when i'm out in the yard and people will stop by that have lived in the neighborhood for years and they ask about him and i have to say I'm sorry he passed away and blah blah blah and um then they say I don't understand it he was very nice man so handsome never married and I'm always like I never met the man and I can tell you why that probably was. Maybe my wife can tell you as well. So bizarre I'm always like clearly but yeah no he was very eccentric. The house, it's wallpaper, and it's a different wallpaper sort of era in pretty much every room.
Starting point is 00:34:30 So the hallway is this groovy kind of 70s, quote unquote, oriental inspired with gold. Oh, yeah. Our bedroom is like a Laura Ashley, these pink flowers with green, very like, yeah, ladyish. Michelle loves it. And yeah, our kitchen is, it's like Betty Draper's kitchen. It's got the aluminum, I like the metal cabinets. Oh, yeah, yeah. It totally looks like it's straight out of Mad Men.
Starting point is 00:35:01 So, yeah, it's a very eclectic, weird house inside and out. My friend said, you don't bother giving people the address. Just say, it's this block. Look for the house that looks like where Morgan lives there. Yeah, it's pretty weird. I moved into a place where there was the same type of setup. Like an old guy only lived in one room of this house. Smoked in it constantly.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Where was this? This was way south. This is when I lived with like eight people. Oh, before I knew you. Yeah. And we had to clean the ceiling. We had to mop the ceiling. And it was just like nicotine.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Yeah. It was crazy. We just got a dishwasher. So we don't have a dishwasher. We have like an apartment dishwasher that you have to hook up to the sink. And ours finally died. And so Michelle found the exact same one on Craigslist. And we drove out to, sorry, I picked it up from this lady who lived in a bachelor suite with her four cats and her ex-boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:36:03 They were still living in this bachelor suite. Oh, they're still living in this bathroom. Oh, they were still, oh, yeah. She's like, he's an asshole. He won't move out. So there's like this scale. He's right behind the curtains over there. He doesn't want to come meet you, but. But her boyfriend, her now boyfriend was there.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Anyways, I know. Boy, 609, dude. But this dishwasher, she'd obviously chain smoked for years and years and years inside this apartment. And we got the dishwasher into our car and we're like, oh, wow, that really smells of smoke. And it's still, we've had it for a couple of weeks. And when we run it, it's like wet smoke. But it's dissipating finally.
Starting point is 00:36:43 It's starting to dissipate. Do your dishes come out all yellow? Just around the fingertips. Wow. Yeah. A bachelor apartment with four cats, your ex, and your career. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:57 And smoke. Right? Yeah. A lot of smoke. Why was she getting rid of this dishwasher? No, no. She was like, I just don't have space for it. Yeah. I don't have space for something
Starting point is 00:37:07 that's going to clean my stuff. I need filth. I need to be surrounded by filth at all times. Oh, man. I, uh, like, I've been looking on Craigslist. I'm looking for a shelf. And, uh, oh, you want to talk to my, you can call my
Starting point is 00:37:24 shelf guy you got who uncle shelfy Dominique Dominique yeah Dominique your shelf guy yeah he's a French guy yeah
Starting point is 00:37:32 and uh what is his specialty uh top shelves top shelves yeah well I do need one of those yeah
Starting point is 00:37:38 um I uh but I the whole going over to somebody's house via Craigslist it feels like uh it feels very much every time like it may be the last thing you ever do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:38:06 that was the plot of the will ferrell john c riley sherlock holmes movie why did they have a computer that movie's too crazy but even people don't it it works both ways because i just got a self-healing cutting mat for sewing off of a marketplace. And the one was like, I'll leave it on the porch. Put the money in the mailbox. I could kind of see her peeking through the window at me. I was like, I'm not going to hurt you. I mean, the porch is fine.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Yeah. The porch is good. I think you can meet on the porch. Like, she can come out to the porch, too. Yeah, she wasn't even doing that. But, like, going into somebody's place. Yeah, she wasn't even doing that. But like, going into somebody's place. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Well, don't go alone. I want to. I want to live on the edge. I want to risk it. No, but there was a guy who was murdered.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Remember? That was, I don't know, probably 10 years ago now or whenever he went to buy a ring from somebody off Craigslist. Oh,
Starting point is 00:39:01 yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh. And they just wanted that ring. They weren't going to pay for it. I see. Oh, they killed somebody for the ring.

No, but you can go as long as you kill the person that's oh i see okay yeah don't be don't have a ring but i like this put it out on the porch and i'll just leave the cash yeah yeah i've got a ziploc bag yeah you can also be like you can inspect it and be like yell through the window how many years how many miles did you put on this?

But if you know somebody that has a case. Okay, alright. There are just trophy cases at like high schools, right? High schools, community centers.

Okay, wait. Let me see if I can... Okay. Clap for the wolf. That's one of them. When the werewolf got gonorrhea. I said it wasn't going to bring up Burton Cummings and you've just done it. Yeah, that's true.

Monster wasn't me. I just want to point out it wasn't me. I mean, not on classic rock radio. On regular radio, they'll play three Halloween songs. Okay. Monster Mash. Yep. Thrill Her. Yep.
Starting point is 00:41:52 And Werewolves of London? Ghostbusters. Oh, Ghostbusters. Good guess. On classic rock radio, they will play anything that's kind of got like a little bit, something that sounds a little bit scary or spooky. Like Witchy Woman.

Starting point is 00:42:33 Oh you mean From the immigrant point of view Oh yeah sure I'm talking about Joe Sixpack Oh sure That's what I went as At Halloween
Starting point is 00:42:42 This year Joe Sixpack Oh I went as Joe the Plumber. Oh, from Mitt Romney? I don't remember where that was from. I think it was from Mitt. I remember the thing. Joe the Plumber.

Put me on Dancing with the stuff yeah they're gonna tax me and i'm joe the plumber yeah they should tax themselves um so i i have written a spooky song oh okay and i guess this could wait for next year
Starting point is 00:43:20 no no no absolutely this couldn't wait this is important stuff i ate a juicy spider and a spider web some monster slime and a zombie head i looked in the toilet and what did i see a spooky dookie stop picking on me ah spooky dookie very scary yeah yeah so i need more verses no I don't think so no I think you're good you can just you think I can sell that yeah
Starting point is 00:43:49 number one with a bullet okay like for when the radio show has a little they've gone like a weird amount of time and they don't have enough
Starting point is 00:43:58 time for a whole song we need to fill up a 12 second yeah just throw on spooky dookie yeah we do spooky dookie on the ones
Starting point is 00:44:03 and the twos yeah oh yeah so that's 12 seconds. Just throw on spooky dookie. Yeah. We do spooky dookie on the ones. And the twos. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So that's topic one. Okay. Exhausted. Topic one.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Check. Check. Mark spectacular. Here's topic two. I've been going to yoga lately. Mm. And there's a point in every class where they tell you to just let your mind wander. Okay. And here's what happens.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Sorry, my mind's wandering. You told me to let it wander. It wasn't instruction for you. It was part of the story. Stay focused. It's already gone. Here are my two favorite mind wanderings. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Number one. What if a really tall person was doing yoga? What if a really tall person was... So we're talking like a George Mirosan. Yeah, I was thinking of Taco Fall, the current tall man of the NBA. Okay, Taco Fall. He is how tall? Seven foot six. He can dunk without jumping.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Man, that's awesome. Just to get on his tippy toes. But still. But when I reach my hands up i'm like you know eight inches below the ceiling taco fall come on i want when i reach my arms out like sometimes we have to kind of stagger yourself so you don't touch the person next to you oh yeah yeah yeah yeah but i still do i'd like him to come over shelf wise Taco Fall he'd be
Starting point is 00:45:26 I'd forget yeah yeah yeah well what would he do just put up a really high shelf put it up yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:45:33 you don't want him to stand there and be a shelf no no no no that would be no no he wouldn't be utilizing his skills to the
Starting point is 00:45:42 you know that's right right yeah so what if a tall person did yoga that's one yeah
Starting point is 00:45:47 the second one so this is a sub topic okay these are the things that I thought about when my mind was wandering yeah because in yoga class
Starting point is 00:45:55 they play this sort of like new agey music yeah spooky dookie but like what if they played spooky dookie? We're doing a 12 second yoga class.
Starting point is 00:46:11 No, and I was thinking, the thing that really almost made me laugh was I imagined the host of the class, the emcee of the yoga, the teacher, I guess. Yoga emcee. Namaste, motherfucker. the class the mc of the the teacher i guess yoga mc namaste motherfuckers how's everyone doing anyone from out of town anybody celebrating uh any inner stillness um the uh teacher i kept imagining them like at home or in their car
Starting point is 00:46:46 in a convertible just cranking this tuneless, beatless music. This is all they listen to? Yeah, this is their what they assume everybody listens to. And that made me also think about that's the equivalent of your high school teacher going home and writing
Starting point is 00:47:04 on the blackboard yeah i when my mind wanders hey i think about weird stuff guys my i my like vision of teachers at home was very like that they were still wearing the outfit that they wore and that uh that they were all when i was kid, I also thought that all teachers were married to other teachers. Right. I had an aunt and uncle teacher combo. So I just kind of was like, oh yeah, that's how it works. You go to school and that's where you meet your significant other.
Starting point is 00:47:41 And the only teachers that were allowed to be single, gym teachers. Allowed to be? Yeah, your significant other and, you know, and the only teachers that were allowed to be single, gym teachers. They were allowed to be? Yeah, yeah. Everybody else had to shack up on their first day, I guess. They weren't single. They were just gay. You just didn't know. Yeah, I wonder.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Right? Come on. Think about your PE teacher, like the women with like the very tight little wash and wear perms. Yeah. I, yeah, I did have a PE teacher that had a, had a really nice perm. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:13 There was a teacher, he wasn't there for very long, I don't think, Mr. Gerard. And he was super dreamy. Yeah. He had like a real good looking mustache. And he, you know, all of our teachers were a little bit sort of stodgy. And then he came along and he was young, right? I think just out of teaching school. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:32 And for the air band competition, he got other teachers to do an air band with him. And he was Kenny Loggins singing Footloose. And oh boy, it was, it blew the doors off the joint. It picked up the Sunday shoes. Is air band a term everyone knows? Yeah. Or is it like a lip sync? Oh, I think they call it lip sync now.
Starting point is 00:48:58 No, now they call it a TikTok. Yeah, now it's all TikToks. Right. And that's not a school school endorsed competition at school it wasn't a competition but we did oh you just had a show we had a show yeah we talked about this a few weeks ago yeah we never had an air band really no oh man but it sounds like a lot of fun and that's probably why my school didn't have it my school yeah the most fun thing was when somebody
Starting point is 00:49:25 stole the mascot's head and held it for ransom. That was the most fun thing that happened. What was your mascot? He was a lion. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:34 That wore a crown? That came from right... The Lion King? Yeah, I guess he was the Lion King. Yeah. Before the Lion King. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:41 What was your... Is this high school? Yeah, but we were called the Lord Beaverbrook Lords, which is a huge missed opportunity to not be called the beavers um but uh yeah and our mascot was a lion but somebody stole the head and then sent a ransom note to the principal it was great that is great yeah but i think that was the only fun thing what was your high school mascot um i'm trying to remember uh oh the blue devils we were the blue called blue devils we were the blue demons oh fancier why why the blue
Starting point is 00:50:13 yeah i think probably was like an available costume yes that somebody made a bunch of uh so we did a lot of air banding yeah um and one year uh a bunch of doofus dudes did acdc tnt and made like their own pyrotechnics yeah oh wow which uh before they even took to the stage blew up backstage while you were on stage Doing Your Gowan song Strange animal That's a good spooky song It is
Starting point is 00:50:52 Yeah And One girl Like And this was also The 80s So we all had a lot of Really big
Starting point is 00:51:00 Really hair sprayed hair And one girl's hair It was big Just Up in flames And the dude That. It was just up in flames. And the dude that it had blown up in his face. I remember. Was it a cartoon?
Starting point is 00:51:10 Did he have a black face? It was almost like that. And he was so, he was, I guess in shock or whatever, cause he just kind of confusedly looked around and then left and just was like walking down the driveway. And one of the teachers had to go and get him and be like, uh, you're you just, we have to call the ambulance. Come back.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Wow. Yeah. Was he smoking? I don't think he was actually smoking. That's amazing commitment to the air band. Yeah. That's the kind of thing you could do in my day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Yeah. Pyrotechnics. Did you do, you do air band? Yeah air band yeah to feel like some monty python song okay of course you did yeah fun or oh no oh we auditioned with like you could audition and so like you would audition with like five and they would pick one yeah i feel like we did one of this uh billy crystal and christopherest song. Oh, wow. From Billy Crystal's album that was an SNL sketch. You Look Marvelous?
Starting point is 00:52:11 No, I hate it when that happens. Oh, right. The two doormen. Yeah. I don't think that made it, but maybe the Monty Python. I forget. Okay. That was very cool.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Yeah, you were doing a funny. I was playing 3d chess yeah uh okay while everybody else was lip-syncing to aqua you were up there figuring it out um this was elementary school this was free aqua sure sure um everyone was doing phantom of the Opera. They absolutely were. It was the hottest thing in 1990. Oh, boy. Really? Yeah. I do remember when Phantom of the Opera came to town,
Starting point is 00:52:53 there were kids that then showed up the next day in their Phantom of the Opera t-shirts. T-shirts, yes. By Phantom by phone. It was cats in my day. We actually. Oh, it was cats. Yeah, we took a bus over. There was like a chartered bus that we came over from Victoria to Vancouver to see cats.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Do you think that the cats movie looks like it's going to be the craziest thing in the world? Or are you like, this is the perfect adaptation? I thought you were going to ask. No interest in it. Yeah. You were going to ask if seeing cats at a young age influenced me? I was like, that's how many cats you need? There's many cats that are on stage?
Starting point is 00:53:28 That's how many cats will be in my house when I grow up? Got it. Yeah. I think it's very influential. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Final hot topic.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Okay. Here we go. So a couple of weeks ago, I went for dinner. A big group of us. We went to go see the Comedy Bang Bang podcast live Courtesy of our friend Paul Yeah Something
Starting point is 00:53:49 And you didn't come to dinner beforehand No But the Sunday service folks I was going to say blokes But there's more to them than that That's right Alicia and her dad and a few other people um were all we all met up at moxie's yeah because he wanted to get what what do they have there an appletini what what is a
Starting point is 00:54:15 what is a moxie's known for i don't know what they're known for they're all this the sit down casual uh fast casual restaurant in canada is all the same restaurant yes moxie's is joey's is earls is milestone milestone is cactus club yeah uh and or and also brown social house what is the american equivalent uh chilies or yeah something like that like not not... TGI Fridays. Outback Steakhouse. Yeah. Yeah, okay. But I think Moxie's is like trying to be a little fancier.
Starting point is 00:54:50 And Moxie's is trying to be... Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. And some girls. I don't know. I don't know. You know what? Some of the...
Starting point is 00:54:58 I could rank them. I don't think that'll be necessary. I mean, Earl's is at the top of my, and Milestones is probably at the bottom. If it's a restaurant that you have to be a model to be a server there, that's what we're talking about. That's what it is. You have to wear high heels your entire shift. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:19 So we went there, and then they paid. So we went there and then they paid when it was time to pay you all. You know, they bring the machine to the table and you put your card in and they give you the tip option and you can put in how much you want to tip. And then I'd never seen this before. After you tip, it also asks you out of 10 on a scale of one to 10. What would you like? How likely are you to recommend this Moxies to someone? Oh. Or just press OK to skip.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Yeah. Let me guess. I gave it a lot of thought. Yeah. And I was like, practically speaking, 6. OK. Like, it was good, but how likely am i to recommend moxies to someone but if you if somebody was like i'm looking for a chili's equivalent yeah you would be like moxies go
Starting point is 00:56:13 to the moxies by the shark club and so that's why i think it's a proximity thing because it's always when i'm going to like something that's near that yeah that's the only reason. So like I said, that's why I said six. I was like, realistically speaking, on an average day, zero. Yeah. But if it came up, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Yeah. That's six. And I pulled the table and they all said, skip. They said, it's a private ballot. And so,
Starting point is 00:56:41 mind your own business. Although someone else was, one of them was like, this is probably going to be reflected directly onto the server so you should say 10 oh yeah like anything like that like the server is going to hear about you're getting a lot of sixes right yeah and you told us you were an eight so um you're just dressed up as a nine um Huh. Yeah, I've never. Well, it's coming. You're going to get more of those.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Yeah. You know what I do every time there's one of those things with the happy face, sad face. Oh, yeah. Happy face. Yeah. Well, not if it's bad.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Yeah, like at airports or at stadiums, they're like rank the clueless. Oh, okay. You just hit a button. Like in the car to go. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Yeah. Exactly. If you go to button like in the car to go yeah okay exactly if you go to the bathroom in the car to go how how relaxing was that for you uh huh okay
Starting point is 00:57:34 alright so that's so another thing another thing to do another everything I don't like it because I feel like
Starting point is 00:57:39 your tip reflects that right they just don't want to do the math on it uh huh yeah that's true oh I don't tip. Skip, skip, skip, skip.
Starting point is 00:57:48 That's why they're just adding other things. What? What's wrong with you? This guy's clearly skipping. You can see how fast he's doing it. He's not even reading it. Doing a speed run. Although this is the one thing that I've noticed is with the tip option.
Starting point is 00:58:04 It used to be because there's some automatic percentages where it's like 10, 15, 20. It's gone up.
Starting point is 00:58:11 15, 18, 20, 25. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it'll just
Starting point is 00:58:15 keep going up until it's 50%, I guess. That's fine. 100%. 100%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:20 I'll just pay for this. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Fine. You're a big spender. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I appreciate good service. Absolutely. twice yeah yeah okay fine you're a big spender yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:58:26 you appreciate good service absolutely good service and if you're out there getting rid of a shelf you know I got money to spend
Starting point is 00:58:33 what's going on with you I'm looking for a shelf yeah okay what's the tell me about this shelf what are you what are you going to put on it is it a set of shelves
Starting point is 00:58:41 you want or just like a floating shelf no I just want I want a like a freestanding shelf and like not one that I have to drill into the wall. Okay. And I'm just going to put stuff on it. How tall?
Starting point is 00:58:54 How wide? You know, I don't know the exact measurements. Not a bookshelf? Like not as high, like not up to the ceiling? Not up to the ceiling. Okay. No, but like a, you know but like a good up to my chest. What room is it going to go in?
Starting point is 00:59:07 In the main room. Just for bric-a-brac, nicks and nacks. Your new place is a one bedroom? Two bedroom. Two bedroom. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:59:22 I need a shelf. So you know what? Been looking on Craigslist. And if you don't hear from me, you know your first clue. So it's, and I really want to get into it. Is anything special going on the top shelf or just plants or a television? Yeah, just, no, no, just plants. This is an Etcetera shelf. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Color? Do you have a color preference? Like wood. Yeah. Okay. If you want it to be wood, you don't want it to be like MDF or whatever. What is that? What's that?
Starting point is 00:59:53 Medium density fiber. No, no, no. And you don't want an MDMA? No, I'm interested in, you know, all the different letters of the alphabet um so anyways remember when madonna put out that album mdna was that the thing that happened was she collaborating with someone named mndr at the same time oh dave's mind is wandering that a deep dive. He's doing his yoga wander. And just bring your mind back to the room. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:00:30 No, no, no. I want something here. I'm close. I, this weekend, I watched the UFC fights. Oh, you love it. I love it. I love that Donald Trump was there. Was he? Yeah, he got roundly booed. Oh, you love it. I love it. I love the, I love that Donald Trump was there. Oh, was he?
Starting point is 01:00:46 Yeah, he got roundly booed. Oh, good. I like that he keeps going places and thinking it's going to turn out differently. I feel like when the UFC dudes are turning against you, it's just time to pack it in. Yeah, he probably like met with his team and they were like, probably if you go to a UFC fight, yeah, this'll, this'll, you could just go to events that you put on yourself and get cheered. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Yeah. Is that not enough for you? Yeah. Um, but yeah, it was in, uh, it was in New York.
Starting point is 01:01:16 He got, uh, roundly booed. Um, my favorite thing that happens during the UFC fights is they'll show, uh, famous people in the audience a lot of whom
Starting point is 01:01:28 I don't know who they are but I know that they're fighters because they have weird ears. So that's, I like that. But like how do they get those weird ears? From the friction. But like are they doing that in training I guess? Yeah, and a lifetime of wrestling.
Starting point is 01:01:46 But it's like, I get why rugby players get it, because you play so many games for so many minutes, but a UFC fight isn't going to last that long. No, but I think it's from, like you say, from training. Yeah. Over time. I train with my earmuffs on. Yeah. And you train outside, so it's allowed.
Starting point is 01:02:05 And also also between rounds a little bit of hot cocoa yeah but the the silliest thing that happened during the course of the night
Starting point is 01:02:17 it was several fights and then the last fight of the night was for this made up belt so
Starting point is 01:02:24 the UFC can make up as many belts as it wants yeah i was like are they all made up i mean they are all technically all made up how many wrestling belts are there these days uh probably a lot yeah yeah i don't know anything is it ranked is it like oh by weight okay yeah so they it's like a uh shoot never mind they they uh what's the name of that frozen yogurt restaurant where they weigh you weigh your this can't be yogurt yeah that's right so this belt they had there's so much foof around this they they had the rock come out and present it duane duane uh he was wearing a polo shirt it looked hilarious on him he can't wear anything no without it looking like it's just like his body straining to rip out of it um but he the belt is not a weight-based one it is the baddest
Starting point is 01:03:21 motherfucker belt uh yeah and uh this was the first time it was being awarded but was it okay what was it like most belts are awarded after a match was this a belt they fought for or was this part of an award a lifetime achievement award that is an absolutely a fair question uh but no this was a fight to determine who was the baddest. So if it's not weight-based, are there people going for this belt from different weight classes? I think they were from different weight classes, but
Starting point is 01:03:53 close weight classes. So it wasn't like a gigantor guy in a tiny waif of a thing. Yeah. Slip of a girl. But they they fought for it.
Starting point is 01:04:07 But the whole I don't know why I don't know why the commentators couldn't say the name of the belt. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:14 The past mother effer effer They couldn't pronounce it. Like what? No they weren't They weren't allowed
Starting point is 01:04:23 to say They weren't allowed to say it. So allowed to say a word so even the belt just said bmf and they just and and instead of calling it the bmf belt i kept saying the baddest mother effer belt huh it was so silly i i won the emf belt what was that for uh for being doing the best lip sync to Unbelievable. Nice. So, anyways, it was the silliest thing to have all these adult people calling it the baddest mother. How many fights were there that night? I think there were five.
Starting point is 01:05:01 And you went to Mark Chavez's house? Yeah. How many people were there uh there was uh seven um and people are very with varying interest in ultimate fighting mixed martial arts mark being that he was the expert he was the guy guiding us through who was who and who but you're pretty expert uhy uh not like him he knows he knows the background of all these guys there were uh gambles yeah you were doing gamble we were gambling on every fight and mostly gambling based on uh either the the short video that they played
Starting point is 01:05:39 in the lead up like i like him he seems to be playing with those ropes really hard yeah or or if uh somebody seemed genuinely nice oh yeah i bet on mostly the nice uh people and they didn't always win no nice guys finish usually uh one way or the other. Yeah. But, yeah, the guy who won the baddest MF-er award, did you,
Starting point is 01:06:10 he was one bad MF-er. Oh, yeah. He wasn't one of the nice ones. No, he was a bad dude. Were they both nice? Were they both bad?
Starting point is 01:06:16 No, the guy that lost was like a nice guy, but the doctor came in and said, no more fight. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:06:23 This is, I just don't understand yeah this is too and the winner was george thoroughgood yep and uh he told me personally to get a haircut get a real job whoa yeah i know rude i mean you are the target market for that song that's true um so yeah we watched the fights Lost some money What's a bet on these? Oh, we were just, these were dollar Dollar bets, but then the last
Starting point is 01:06:51 Fight, we all went all in $1,000 Emmett Hall, past guest Made a very funny Ongoing joke that he was calling somebody In Panama to move some money around And that anything short of $25,000 wasn't worth it to him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:10 So how can you tell if a UFC competitor is nice? Mark Chavez tells you. Oh, I see. He says this guy gives you the whole background of both of the fighters. Oh, yeah? And also they show, like show the weigh-in. And during the weigh-in, if the guy's nice, he just goes over and shakes the guy's hand or gives him a hug. But if he's a mean guy, insults his family.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Oh, boy. Yeah. Oh, okay. Makes some snide remarks. And then also goes like he's going to fight during the weigh-in. Yeah. Save it for the octagon fella yeah now these way ins did they make the
Starting point is 01:07:50 scary movie movie yes I was hoping it would come all the way back around but nice I've just got an alert on my phone that a new episode of the great Canadian baking show is now available so
Starting point is 01:08:05 so see ya to wrap this up okay no I can watch it anytime yeah but you want to watch it I'm pretty excited on the double well
Starting point is 01:08:13 my it's my new goal in life is to be one of the hosts of the Great Canadian Baking Show you would be a great host see this is what everyone says
Starting point is 01:08:21 yeah cause I'm earnest yeah and you wear that hat and that denim vest. Especially if there was a contestant named Vern. I know.
Starting point is 01:08:30 I always say, what do you mean, Vern? Yeah, no, it's like. That's one. That's a tough show to find out who the nicest is. That's true. Yes, exactly. Everybody's nice. This is my point, which is why I love it.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Although I will say, we're talking about sewing B or about, uh, sewing. There is a show called the, so it's all based on the, the original was the great British bake off. I don't know why they have to change the names of everything when they come to North America. Now it's the great Canadian baking show. Does bake off sound rude? Well, I don't know why they've changed.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Yeah. Yeah. So a rude guy in the UFC would tell somebody to go bake off. Right. He did that. He's the changed that. Yeah. Yeah. That's what a rude guy in the UFC would tell somebody to go bake off. Bake off. Right. He did that. He's the baddest. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:10 But there is also a show called the Great British Sewing Bee that is the same concept, the same camaraderie, the same niceness, the same adorable British pronunciations of things. Yes. They say applique instead of applique oh yeah aubergine gonna make an aubergine costume yes i need a urinal cozy out of aluminium everybody every home needs one of those uh Yeah. I am crazy for that show. I even emailed, like, my contact at CBC and was like, are you going to make this show? Can I host it? And they said no.
Starting point is 01:09:50 And no. Oh, okay. Two no's. Yeah. Make a yes. No and yes. And so if anybody wants to finance the great Canadian sewing bee, I am your perfect host. I agree.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Yeah. Yeah. You can say all the sewing words with the canadian pronunciation well see usually on the so people who chasterfield chasterfield uh usually the hosts don't know anything about sewing and i know a little bit about sewing so yeah yeah you got all those patterns yeah well no i i so i guess i't know, this year I've started to sew again and, uh, I have, I have a sewing room.

And I was like, ding dong. And kids went to the door and I'm like handing out candies and I'm bending over and I'm handing out candies and I look up and I see these kids' faces and I'm like, faces look kind of weird. I wonder why they have those looks on their faces. And then I look down, and my strapless jumpsuit is around my waist.

Starting point is 01:28:17 Was it the musical instrument? Isn't that the only thing that plays spoons? Or is there a game called spoons? There was a game we used to play where you it's a card game and you have four cards and you take a card and you're trying to match four okay it's like musical chairs a little bit so there's say you have four people at a table that you have three spoons yeah and actual spoons actual spoons okay and you take a card and if your card if you're not accumulating you're basically trying to get to four of a kind okay and so you're like whatever card you pull if it doesn't work for
Starting point is 01:28:51 you you put it down the next person picks it up and it's cause you're constantly moving sorry you're constantly moving cards around trying to get four of a kind and then once you have four of a kind you take a spoon from the middle yeah and once someone has taken a spoon from the middle everyone can take a spoon from the middle so you try to do it as slowly and quietly as possible and everyone's so focused on getting oh i see spoons yeah but i think if you're in a pub you're playing you're playing spoons and like if you're drinking you think you're pretty good at yeah everybody is great at everything when they're drunk and all movies are good if you're high yeah but also uh maybe they were referring to the band from the 80s the spoon so maybe he's like i've never played spoons i've never played he was a dj yeah i'm doing karaoke of whatever their song was i know i was just trying to look it up quickly but

Starting point is 01:29:56 Good job, Graham. Thank you. Here we go. Final overheard. Hey, David Graham and wonderful guest. This is William calling from Boston with an overheard. I was just at a sort of fancy gala thing for a nonprofit and I went with my employer. And so the event had lots of different things going on, like an auction and they had a live singer and he was a good singer.
Starting point is 01:30:23 singer. He had a really pretty good voice. And so then the CEO of the nonprofit, the one who organized the whole thing, was describing like, oh yeah, and he started off in his church, you know, and he's made it this far. You know who else started off in their church? Whitney Houston. And you all know how she ended up. I mean, you all know what heights she reached in her career. And that can happen for this guy. And we all just lost it because she didn't realize what she said. All right, love the show.
Starting point is 01:30:53 Off I go. This is a warning to you, young singer. Oh, man. Not a good comparison. Yeah. But, you know, like, there's a lot of people that started in their church and died in a bathtub. No, but, you know, you could have said a Beyonce who started in a church. You know, probably Mariah Carey.
Starting point is 01:31:14 I bet you Celine Dion. Probably. These are all not, you know, scared straight stories. Yeah. The Spoons started off as a church band. Yeah. And now we can't name a song of theirs. Any hymn.
Starting point is 01:31:31 Yeah. Yeah. They could. Yeah. They could sing anything. Ave Maria, I believe was them, wasn't it? What? Ave Maria, wasn't that The Spoons?
Starting point is 01:31:39 This is the one I remember. Oh, yeah. Anything yet? Nope. Yeah. It's called Nova Heart. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:31:53 All right, we tried. Well, that brings us to the end of the podcast. Morgan. I am. Do you have something to plug? I mean, not really. I have a couple of short films coming out that I was in. I was in a film called In Loving Memory that's going to be at a bunch of festivals over the next while.
Starting point is 01:32:13 It was written by Andrea Bang from Kim's Convenience and directed by her sister and my lady show colleague, Diana Bang, and Mayumi Yoshida. And another one called Moon Time, which I get to play a wild hippie woman who performs ceremonies for young girls when they get their periods. Ah. So, yeah, a couple of fun little shorts that I was in. If you're going to festivals, you might see. Yeah. Fun. might see. Yeah.
