Hey, it's me.
Hello.
Hello.
Hey, little Morgan.
Oh, hi there, big Dave.
Hey, little Momo.
Have you done the Momo Challenge?
Oh, heavens no.
Okay.
I don't have time for that kind of thing.
No, that's true.
I don't know what that is.
Do you remember the Momo challenge?
I didn't even do the Kiki, do you love me or anything.
I don't have time.
I didn't do that either.
What's Kiki, do you love me?
It's the one where you get out of the car while it's moving and you sing the Kiki, do you love me song while you're walking beside the...
Oh, I've seen a video of that.
What's that?
Is that Ghost Riding the Whip?
I don't know.
Ghost Riding the Whip is where you get out of the driver's seat and you let a car just...
Oh.
Yeah, that's Ghost Riding the Whip.
Leave it in drive.
Very dangerous.
And the fuel injectors do their thing.
Yeah.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
Yeah.
Exactly.
And then Michelle
got some other,
like,
they're like 50
or something like that
and she put those
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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
that's too
you only want a hard Werther's
yeah
okay
that's
that's fair
that's the equivalent
of Will Ferrell
and John C. Reilly
making a Sherlock Holmes movie
is a
is a chewy
yeah
Werther's
a chewy Werther's
like a spoof
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
to go check downstairs
and I walked downstairs
just as water starts
to flow across
the basement floor.
Ugh.
And so, yeah,
anyhow,
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?
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...
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?
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
some fondudes.
Yeah.
When have you
when was the last time
either of you had fondue?
Are you vegan?
No.
Mostly.
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.
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,
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
they've made
amazing progress
from when we first
got them
but
they still have
and I've made
amazing progress
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
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.
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.
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.
So, yeah.
Aw.
23 cats.
Yikes.
Yeah.
One, and I start getting itchy.
Yeah.
I think it would just die.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
shelf guy you got who
uncle shelfy
Dominique
Dominique
yeah
Dominique your shelf guy
yeah he's a French guy
yeah
and uh
what is his specialty
uh top shelves
top shelves
yeah
well
I do need one of those
yeah
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.
Definitely.
Yeah.
Like, I'll leave the ad up on my computer so if anybody finds me, they'll be like, oh, this is a clue.
Yes, yes.
This is a clue.
He's trying to tell us something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He left a bunch of breadcrumbs around his computer
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
Yeah. I don't remember who.
This guy, Gollum, I think, was his name.
But this was a real thing?
Yeah, in Vancouver.
Oh, in Vancouver.
Yes.
Oh, shit, I shouldn't be doing it.
I should be going to Craigslist things by myself.
Oh, did Dave with you?
Yeah.
I don't want to get killed. 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?
Shelf.
Shelf.
And what would you put on it?
Trophies?
I need one for trophies.
Does.
You have a lot of trophies.
Yeah.
Well, I should have said that I'm looking for a trophy case.
I didn't want a bread.
So modest. Yeah. I'm looking for a trophy case. I didn't want a bread. So modest.
Yeah, I'm looking for a shelf to put my
awards on.
But not a case.
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.
I think those are the big
also like
somebody's dad in a movie
who's really pressuring their son to be the quarterback.
Yes.
He's got a lot of trophies.
I used to be a trophy.
Yeah, yeah.
I used to be.
I think I posed for the bowling trophy.
I still have that outfit.
I was a trophy model back in the day.
Here, hand me this laurel wreath.
I'll hold it up.
And I'll show you.
Hand me this laurel wreath.
I'll hold it up.
And I'll show you.
Dave, what's going on with you? Oh, guys, it's a day of hot topics.
Yeah.
Sunny Hostin's here.
Just some fun things have been going through my mind lately.
So we're recording this on the 6th of October, November, December, November.
November.
And so Halloween was last week uh spook spookly to yours and to you and yours in this season of spookage yep um and on
the radio are they on classic rock radio because there's only like three halloween songs that they play. 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.
But it was natural.
It 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 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.
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.
Like Witchy Woman or Welcome to My Nightmare.
Yes.
Werewolves of London is great.
Yep.
They were doing, they played Invisible Touch by Genesis.
Oh, what about, they played Don't Fear the Reaper?
Yes.
That's good.
They played the Immigrant Song By Led Zeppelin
Just because
That spooky sounded
Well also
Immigration is pretty scary
Yeah absolutely
That process
Oh man
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
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.
Yeah, I don't know.
Or was he from John McCain?
Yeah, but he was like, hey, everybody.
Hey, everybody.
I'm some guy.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I'd forget
yeah yeah yeah
well
what would he do
just put up
a really high shelf
put it up
yeah yeah yeah
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
you know
that's right
right
yeah
so what if a tall person
did yoga
that's one
yeah
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
Yeah
And
One girl
Like
And this was also
The 80s
So we all had a lot of
Really big
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
Yeah.
That's six.
And I pulled the table
and they all said,
skip.
They said,
it's a private ballot.
And so,
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.
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.
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.
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
alright
so that's
so another thing
another thing to do
another
everything
I don't like it
because I feel like
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.
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.
It used to be
because there's
some automatic
percentages where
it's like 10,
15,
20.
It's gone up.
15,
18,
20,
25.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it'll just
keep going up
until it's
50%,
I guess.
That's fine.
100%.
100%.
Yeah.
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
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
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
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?
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?
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,
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
Yeah.
Is that not enough for you?
Yeah.
Um,
but yeah,
it was in,
uh,
it was in New York.
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
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.
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.
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
it was
several fights
and then the last
fight of the night
was for this
made up
belt
so
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
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
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.
But the whole
I don't know why
I don't know why
the commentators
couldn't
say the name
of the belt.
Oh.
The past mother
effer
effer
They couldn't
pronounce it.
Like what?
No they weren't
They weren't allowed
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.
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
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,
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?
No,
the guy that lost
was like a nice guy,
but the doctor came in
and said,
no more fight.
Oh,
okay.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. I like to call it the workroom because it makes me feel like I'm on project runway. Um, that's what I was going to say. That's what your second bedroom's for, right? A sewing room.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I thought so.
Um, I've, I've got a lot of, uh, I've got a lot of work to do.
Yeah.
Before you do your draping.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just call me Don Draper.

Morgan, would you lead the way?
Sure.
I was in a fabric store in Washington State, as one does.
And it was just before Halloween.
And there's this little girl that I was, it was like looking at my past, you know, and you see like a precocious little kid.
And you're like, oh, that's what Morgan was like as a child.
And people, it was a really long lineup and it was taking a long time.
So people kept sort of engaging this adorable child in conversation.
And somebody asked her if she had any brothers or sisters because people don't know
what else to talk to and she said i have a dog sister and i was like well i like her right away
but then she just kept telling everybody i am just a girl who loves to make art. And I
just kind of loved her. Yeah.
She's got a dog sister. She loves to make
art. And my dog
sister likes to make ARF.
You know what?
I can be family friendly. You can be, yeah.
You're going to get a lot of
corporate gigs.

Oh, boy.
Where do they hire stand-up comedians for families?

People that I know who work on cruises,
they have to do a very, very clean set,
and then kind of a medium, and then they get to do a dirty late night clean yeah set and then kind of a medium and then they get to do
like a dirty late night yeah somebody i forget anyways oh kathleen mcgee yeah uh imagine kathleen

uh where we were sitting we were getting on a plane and abby and i were settled in our seats
and there were some there's like this tour group and they weren't all sitting together and
they were all like uh in their 60s okay boomer uh and they uh were asking each other where they
were sitting and uh someone asked this this woman in her 60s where where are you sitting? And she said, my seat is the very confusing 40K.
Wow.
As though it's a code to break.
Yeah, but I mean, on a plane, what is K?
Is that a window?
That's going to be a window.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
40K. I was in 43k i i figured it out
yeah um because it goes by row and then they just number them sequentially yeah it's not just a grab
bag of letters it's not spelling a word the letters go a b, E, F I mean this probably skipped D
Yeah
Or maybe it was A, B, C, D
Anyway
Yeah, anyways
No, no way
Well now it's confusing
Because it was 3, 4, 3 maybe?
A, B, C, E, F, G, H, I, J
Oh, where's K?
Where's K?
I'm confused
Oh yeah
How did you find your seat?
Oh, you know what?
I was on the wing
Oh yeah
Oh boy You? Yeah How are you find your seat? Oh, you know what? I was on the wing. Oh, yeah.
Oh, boy.
You?
Yeah.
How are you doing?
Oh, my overheard is courtesy of being on a bus.
If you take the ferry over to Victoria, then you take a bus into the city.
It's like an hour.
Hour trip.
And as I was getting on, there was a couple of teens behind me.
And one teen said to the other,
this trip is an hour?
I might die.
And you know what?
I was like, maybe.
Yeah, it's true.
You might.
It does feel like it, that bus. It is like once the ferry's already been 90 minutes,
and then you're, oh, we're not there yet?
Yeah, you're kind of already uh you
know uh you've had enough where do you catch this bus uh you get right as soon as you come off the
ferry there's the bus is just waiting where do you get the bus to the ferry uh where do you oh
out in uh by the casino oh so you have to take the sky train there yeah they don't do it from
this bus station anymore no no no you can't get on one of sky train there yeah they don't do it from the bus station
anymore no no no you can't get on one of those maybe you can i don't know you're talking about
here or in vittoria here oh uh i always just take the city bus on either end it's it turns
into a whole day like you could i could literally fly to the maritimes and then sometimes you feel
like you're gonna just splurge i'm just going for it i'm just gonna splurge and go with like the pcl route and get on the or the greyhound or whatever
can you buy a ticket to the bus on the ferry if there is room you can still i don't know if still
i don't know i don't know i just uh you know it's a thing things are changing rapidly a lot of la
podcasts they'll talk about you know, going to the arc or like,
yeah,
this is our,
this is that.
Yeah.
Um,

Anyways, it ended on a good note because as we were leaving the theater, we heard this review from a loud, excited guy.
I just loved the whole thing.
It was just so
different from the joker the joker managed to get into this podcast the joker is like yeah it's a
running thing that we've been going through as a society i feel yeah he hates society oh

This last one comes from Jim in Philly.
My office had a Halloween costume contest.
One guy dressed as Slash Was walking around the cafeteria
To scope out the competition
As he walked away from one group of people
I overheard him mutter
Howard Stern? You gotta be kidding me
So the Slash guy saw Howard Stern?
Or someone saw Slash?
Somebody saw Slash
They thought they were Howard Stern
Tough to scope the competition
When you got that hair in your eyes saw Slash and thought they were how it's turned. Tough to scope the competition when you
got that
hair in
your eyes.
Your hat
pulled down
though.
Boy oh
boy.
Slash is a
great Halloween
costume.
Easy.
Just a wig
and a hat.
Maybe carry a
guitar around.
Some shiny
pants but
that's not
necessary.
He's worn
a jean.
You don't
even need a
top just a jacket.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What a cool guy.
That's what I should have been for Halloween.
I like him.
Although I did come close.
I'll just very quickly tell you.
So Halloween is a big deal at our house.
It's a big deal everywhere.
No, you don't understand.
We have an entire graveyard in our front yard.
And not like the know styrofoam
things you buy from superstore or whatever like like i've made them and i've written things like
the death of all my friends on it and some of that it's like you know here lies so and so
anyhow uh and it's the we're the scary house in the neighborhood you know kids are scared to come
to which i love and um and i have a lot of costumes and friends come over and
i just put a pile of costumes out so people can dress up if they want most people don't it's just
me all night long putting on different costumes and so i put and i would just i change costumes
and i uh i was wearing this just you know a wig and this like leopard jacket with this uh 70s my
mom probably wore to a key party um pantsuit, strapless pantsuit.
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.
I mean, luckily I had a jacket on, but I'm fully leaning over,
just knockers practically in children's faces.
Oh, no, Morgan.
And they're all just staring at me like,
does she know?
Like, is that her costume?
What's happening?
Right?
Is this a weird 70s Elvira?
Exactly.
Office Elvira?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, here's more candy.
Go ahead. Oh, wow.
Just to keep your mouth shut.

Gary Jules.
Alright. Next
phone call.
Hey guys, it's
Neil from Victoria. Just walking home.
I passed two guys coming out of
a pub and one guy
is like, no fucking way.
That was the best. And the next guy
was like, yeah dude, I've never played spoons like that before.
There you go.
Wow.
Never played what?
Spoons.
I thought he said spoons.
And I was like, that can't be what he said.
He did.
That's amazing.
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
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
i couldn't no fair enough. And I don't remember.
Canadian new wave band,
The Spoons.
And was there a band in the 90s just called Spoons?
There's a current band, yes.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
This is the one I remember.
Oh, yeah.
Anything yet?
Nope.
Yeah.
It's called Nova Heart.
Yeah.
All right.
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.
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.
Fun.
Shorts.
Yeah.
Love them.
Where else would you see a short?
Festivals.
Yeah.
I mean, I like fun shorts.
Yeah.

You absolutely do.
Your shorts are so fun.
Yeah.

But it's all for charity.
Yeah.
For the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

It's a Friday, Saturday.
And 10 bucks minimum donation.

No, it gets you a tax receipt.
Oh, okay.
And if you buy a ticket, you're there for 24 hours?
You're not buying tickets and shifts?

But once you buy that one ticket, you cannot leave.

Well, there's a separate entrance.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, yeah.
There's a separate entrance for the theater.
Yeah.
What do you think hour eight is going to look like?
Messy.
Okay.
I think everything past hour one is going to be crazy.
Okay.
So is it you for 24 hours?
Yes.
Because there's other comedians involved.
There's other comedians writing material as the night goes on.
Like handing you.
Yeah.
That's how the person who originated this, Pat Thornton, does it.
So why not do the same?
Absolutely.
I say, I say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't reinvent the wheel.
Yeah, exactly.
Because that wheel is great.
Round, goes everywhere.
It's doing what it's supposed to do.
