Hi, he's Dave Shumka.
And he's Graham Clark.
And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself.
Woo!
Yeah.
Applause.
Fade out.
All right.
Good work, team.
Hello, everybody. And steam machine, cappuccino out. All right. Good work, team. Hello, everybody.
And steam machine, cappuccino machine.
Perfect timing.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark and joining me as always is a man who I've promised I will play
the Jurassic Park theme song
on clarinet at his wedding.
Mr. Dave Shumka.
It's a beautiful song.
Yeah, remember the pterodactyls?
They weren't in the first one, were they?
No, not at all.
They were in the book, nerds.
And joining us here tonight for our first ever live podcast,
very, very funny man,
a man who I am not playing any Jurassic Park songs for at his wedding.
What about the Weird Al Jurassic Park song?
To the tune of
MacArthur Park? Yeah. I recall it.
It has a Barney reference. Yeah.
The very funny and talented
Vancouver Zone
back in town all the way from Los Angeles,
California. Please welcome
Mr. Jason Bryden. Thank you.
Yeah. Good to be here.
Good to have you. So excited
to be here. Thanks for coming out.
My pleasure. I've got some personal goals.
Yeah?
Well, do you guys want to get to know us?
Sakatume.
Hold on.
It's not a science, it's an art.
Get to know us.
There, I blame myself.
I remembered the rest of it.
So you, Jason, let's get to know you.
You had a personal agenda.
Yeah, I listened to my first guest appearance.
Yes.
And I thought I talked too slowly and too high pitch.
I'm going to speed it up
and I'm going to man it up.
Alright.
Now you're back in Vancouver.
You are back in Vancouver to be wed.
Correct?
I thee wed on August 29th
in my parents' backyard.
And everyone here is invited.
Free bar. I'll give you the address later. It's going to be great. My parents' backyard. Yeah, and everyone here is invited. Free bar.
I'll give you the address later.
It's going to be great.
My parents are going.
Dave's parents are going.
I'm not invited, but my parents managed to bully their way on me.
The invitation wasn't one set of parents plus one?
I hear the guest list is just family and my parents.
Yeah.
They want to keep the paparazzi out of it.
Dave's parents are almost like family.
They were there when you were being born?
I feel the same way.
Pretty good line.
Not too bad.
Didn't get a good laugh.
That's all right.
That's the magic of editing, my friend.
So welcome back to Vancouver.
Did you miss it?
You were down in L.A.
I liked Los Angeles.
We love it.
We love L.A.
He didn't like L.A.
I loved it.
It was warm all the time.
I had eight months of sunshine.
That's pretty good.
Boo?
Incorrect.
But they're not mics, so nobody will hear them on the podcast.
It doesn't matter.
I'm willing to throw this into the toilet for one guy booing.
That's how I am.
I think it was a lady.
It was a lady?
It was a lady booing sunshine?
I don't know.
Somebody is in bikini shape.
That's what I think.
Yeah, it's tankini season.
It is tankini season.
I know, I was out in one earlier today.
But welcome back to the city.
But you liked LA, but you love Vancouver?
I love Vancouver.
Is it possible to have two loves?
I think so.
Yeah, like me.
The unbearable lightness of being taught us that.
It's a grown-up book.
So obtuse.
So what's going on?
What's going on?
It was gritty down there.
It was intense.
Yeah?
And it was a different kind of intensity than the East Vancouver that I'm used to.
I was living in Hollywood. And it was a different kind of intensity than the East Vancouver that I'm used to.
I was living in Hollywood.
And tell people that you're an actor.
You weren't down there solving a crime or something like that.
I solved a few crimes.
Oh, you solved a few? Okay, well, I was wrong.
I had spare time, so I thought, there's a lot of crime going on.
Why not pitch in?
Yeah.
Did they ever solve that Rodney King thing?
No. No.
I blame the cops.
Fuck the police.
Right, guys?
It's hard to see you, Shumka.
I know.
I'm trying to get this microphone out.
You know what?
I feel like this should be called a mass variance.
Is that better?
Sure.
That's good.
How are you guys doing?
Are you guys getting enough of Jason?
Is everybody all right over there?
We love it.
And I'll take care of House Wright.
Yeah, House Wright is all...
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
Right?
That's when you...
Hey, I think House Letton cheer a lot louder than House Wright.
Dog pound.
You know what I'm all about?
Right down the middle.
Tell me what that's all about.
Yeah, I thought so.
Nothing like some pandering for good radio.
CBC's built on.
Why did I say that?
It's not even true.
I don't get it.
I just made up a thing.
And then still somebody was like, ooh.
Somebody still gave it the burn credentials.
I think if you mention CBC, people will, ooh, somebody still gave it the burn credentials. I think if you mention
CBC,
people will, ooh, you can't
touch the mother corp.
Like if I was like, just like Jack Layton.
Am I right?
I want to get up in them guts.
Too federal. He's too far
away. Just like,
uh...
Hey, Graham. Hey, what's up?
Do you want to talk local politics?
I sure do.
For some people here may know, others may not,
I ran in the most recent provincial election.
Yeah, right?
Participating in the political process.
Thank you. Good for you, Graham.
And I got a whopping
157 votes.
Did anybody here vote for Graham?
Yeah.
Right on.
I suppose if you don't
believe in anything else.
That was our slogan, was spoil your
ballot rotten with Graham Clark.
You said our.
Did you have a team?
Yeah, yeah. It was
I work on a TV show, so the team
was my TV show team.
And I entered into the election
and I debated politicians
and I actually went out...
So wait, was this like a television team?
Yeah.
Were they playing a team?
Yeah, they were.
You went to L.A.
Graham stayed here, and a TV show came to him.
Yeah, exactly.
I just woke up one day, and they called me and said,
Hey, handsome, because obviously...
How do you feel about the television?
I made the wrong move.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, you had crimes to solve.
That's fine.
That's understandable.
Everyone has their own journey.
I said, hey, why don't I run in the election?
And everybody at the office went,
ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah, let's do it.
And then, I actually, as it went along,
we were like, what a great gag this is.
And then on the night of the election,
somebody said, what'll happen if you win?
And I was like, I nearly shat myself,
because I didn't realize, I completely forgot that that was a possibility.
Right?
I never...
Possibility.
In TV it's a possibility.
There's millions.
Jurassic Park.
If you talk about the chaos theory,
that's a possibility.
Graham could be a member of the legislature.
It never crossed my mind
that I would get any votes at all
But then all of a sudden
I was engaged in this serious discussion
How did you
I should stop asking questions
No you ask some questions
How did you fare in the debate
You're sounding a little high pitched
How did you fare in the debate
Thank you Dave
Thank you
I fared well
I think I did alright
Although the lady who won
Sorry
Woman with a Y
Who won
Yeah
Yeah exactly
She didn't participate
In the debates
No she didn't
She was swagging her
Swagging her around
Swagging her around
Yeah she's just
Swagging her around
Like king shit
Of F word mountain Oh I already said shit Yeah Yeah Why censor the best Swagging her around. Swagging her around? Yeah, she's just swagging her around. Like king shit of F Word Mountain.
Oh, I already said shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, why censor the best of the swear words?
She was one of them big swinging dicks.
Yeah.
And whatnot.
I didn't care for her one bit.
I met her on the street, and I asked her, because I was trying to get, you have to get 75 signatures to get on the ballot.
I remember that podcast.
She passed me on the street
and I introduced myself and I said,
what is it like to run in the election?
How do you put up with all the criticism?
She said, well, to know me is to love me.
So those people just don't know me.
And then that was it.
And I was like, well, that's the worst fucking answer that I ever...
That's the worst answer to that question.
Hey, how do you deal with the criticism?
Everybody who criticizes me is wrong.
We've heard it before, though.
That's how.
It sounds a lot like if you're not with us Yeah, exactly
So she's chosen a good mentor
But then she showed up
at my house
Drunk one night
She wasn't drunk
She's like, remember me?
You were sexting
Didn't you?
Buzzwords, guys.
Look it up.
Internet.
She knocked on my door while she was doing the campaigning.
Hello.
And I'd been drinking.
Oops.
That made two of you.
But she said, they say, have you considered who you're going to vote for?
And I said, yeah.
This guy. This guy.
This guy.
And he pointed to his genitals for the homeless person.
This one.
She probably thought it was a homeless guy who broke into the house.
I'm squatting.
This one.
So that was...
And, oh, I went to the
Liberal Party's
victory party.
Right. I saw this on television.
And what happened was, when I went there,
there was a guy who came up to me
and he actually approached me very friendly
like, hey, I saw you were on the ballot
and he shook my hand and I shook his hand
and he said, I fucking hate your comedy.
And I was like,
what a weird
goddamn approach.
He was still shaking my hand while he said it
and he was like, years ago
I saw you do stand-up and you did this joke
about turducken and I fucking
hated it.
And then he walked away.
And I asked him, where did you... I followed him, and I asked him, where did you see the joke?
And it was a place that hasn't done comedy for two years.
So he's kept this in him for two years.
Like, Cape Fear, he's had turducken tattooed on his knuckles.
He's been doing like chin-ups.
Like, I'm going to find this guy.
Thank you.
Hey, football guy, everybody.
Big round of applause.
Football guy.
Refilling our drinks.
He brought beer.
Thank you, football guy.
Did your hater make you suck his thumb?
Did my hater make me suck his thumb? Did my hater make
me suck his thumb? What is that?
Is that an L.A. thing?
Suck my thumb hater?
Isn't that Robert De Niro did that?
I only saw the Simpsons version.
He did? No, yeah.
But he didn't have it out for Juliette Lewis.
That was just a pleasant side effect for him.
Rape-wise.
Maybe you were his pleasant side effect.
He was there to take it back, Gordon Campbell.
And Gordon Campbell made a
speech and a baby nearly derailed
it. There was a baby behind him
and, yeah, he yawned.
The baby went, and everybody
was like, yeah!
They were like, vote for baby!
How many votes did baby get? 158?
Yeah, 158.
I conceded to Baby.
Baby put me in the corner.
Am I right?
Could we get foamier beers, please?
Look at all this beer.
This is going to be great.
We are untouchable.
Dave, let's get to know you.
What's going on with you, my friend?
This week was bike to week work,
bike to work week.
It's whatever you want it to be.
Can I get a few more of these?
And that didn't affect me
because I don't bike and I don't work.
And that didn't affect me because I don't bike and I don't work.
But one thing I admire about you, Graham, is you have the ability to read a situation.
And I feel you know what to do.
You're street smart.
You got the goods.
Very savvy.
Skills to pay the bills, et cetera.
And I was, like a couple years ago, you and I were with a party post-bowling.
We had bowled on Granville Street.
Your team was garbage, if I recall.
Yeah, my team's always garbage.
And we were bowling on Granville Street.
And afterwards, we were walking, and you saw this guy take off his jacket. And you said to everyone, okay, hold back.
Wait a minute. And you knew that this guy take off his jacket and you said to everyone, okay, hold back. Wait a minute.
And you knew that this guy was up to something.
So this guy took off his jacket, grabbed a vodka bottle
and broke it over another guy's head.
Yeah, full.
It was a full vodka bottle.
Yeah, well, he wasn't smart.
But you were able to read it.
You knew that was going to happen.
You're Bruce Willis in Unbreakable.
Correct.
The vodka bottle is Mr. Glass.
revisit it. It's one of
Shyamalan's better works.
Anywho.
But
I don't have that skill.
And I was walking the dog
this week, and I was with my lovely girlfriend, Abby, who's her own person.
Yes.
And we were walking down the street, and we heard this guy sort of biking towards us, and he passed us.
And then we heard this k-kunk, k-kunk, k-kunk.
And this guy fell off his bike, and we looked back, and I kind of thought he was all right
and Abby's initial reaction was to figure out if he is all right right mine
what I said to her was don't look at him just keep walking I assumed there was no
car around him he wasn't hit he just He just wiped out. So you assume... Oh, like he was scamming you.
No, no, no.
He was waiting to draw you in.
Yeah, yeah.
And the moral is, never
leave the house. Right, Shaka?
Yeah, you should build like an
area for your dog to go to the bathroom
in your house.
No, but I was just... If that
happened to me, I would be so afraid that... I would just be so embarrassed. Especially if I was a little bit No, but I was just, if that happened to me, I would be so afraid that,
I would just be so embarrassed,
especially if I was a little bit hurt, but I could still bike.
So that's why I said, just keep walking.
Yeah, just leave him.
He wants privacy.
It's a personal time for him.
And if you look back, it might be
a bicycle built for four,
and there's people splayed everywhere.
It could be like a thing you can't handle.
I looked back.
I saw the situation.
I said we move on.
Abby went to hell.
Abby waited for him to be alright.
But long story short,
he was alright, so I was right.
Vindicated.
Cheers.
Presumably.
So that's what's going on with me
You guys have any other topics?
This is great
Oh I saw a bird shit on another bird
That's the end of the world right there
That's the end of post-modernism
You can't get any more post-modern than that
I didn't even think it was possible
I thought they had a code within their kind
did he look like a statue of another bird?
no, it was
I was in the park and there was a bird
a crow was on the ground
and then it was
like I saw it but
it's like my brain made it happen
so I had to keep staring at it.
Like my brain thought,
oh, he might enjoy this.
Let's make up a thing that's happening.
But the crow all of a sudden, there was like the white
bird shit thing
happened on him and I looked up and it was
another crow. It was his own kind.
It was great.
Crows are pretty despicable. I'd shit on one.
Yeah. Dollars to donuts.
They'll eat each other
and then shit out the remains of that
on each other.
You went too far.
Oops.
So those are the two.
Oh. The first act up tonight Oops. So those are the two.
Oh, the first act up tonight was when you guys,
for the home listener, there was an act up,
and you sang the French Canadian National Anthem.
And then there was a,
how would you characterize it?
What?
I don't know what I said.
Oh, no, no, no.
The next act?
No, no.
They're saying the French... Yeah, would they translate it to English?
Yeah.
Pardon?
Simulcast?
It was a simulcast.
It was a simulcast.
All right.
We'll edit all this out.
You know, you always say that, and then you never do.
You don't know what goes on.
What you hear is a lot worse.
Such entitlement.
But I was telling you while we were waiting that when I was a kid,
we used to translate everything from French,
because we thought the French versions of English songs
that we knew were so weird.
And the only one I really remember is
Jingle Bells, which in French is
Vive le vent, vive le vent, vive le vent l'hiver
Qui s'en va en tourbillon dans les grands sapins verts
Vive le vent, vive le vent,
vive le vent l'hiver
Joyeux Noël à tout le monde
Bonne année grand-mère
Which in English is
Long live the wind, long live the wind, long live the wind of the winter.
Be who goes whirling super fast in the really big green Christmas trees.
Long live the wind, long live the wind, long live the wind of the winter.
Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy New Year, Grandma.
I've been doing comedy for three and a half years
and that's my first applause break
relish in it
loop it
it's over
never leave the house Jemka
that's the lesson of tonight
it doesn't pay to try
do we want to move on
into a little segment
that we like to do in order.
We always like to do Get to Know Us
and then this segment that we call
Overheard.
I love this part.
Overheard.
That was me back in the day
when I was young and optimistic.
Good. Starts out dancey
with bass and then turns into a campfire sing-along.
Like, everybody get into it.
Innocent, and then it's over.
Can we do it again now that everybody knows the lyrics?
Yeah, everyone sing along.
All right, wait for it.
Overheard.
Yeah, that was great.
Applaud yourself.
Or don't. Okay, just the ladies. Let's do it, just the great. Applaud yourself. Or don't.
Okay, just the ladies.
Let's do it just the ladies.
Just the left side.
Overheard.
Things overheard in lineups, on buses, in general life.
We will do our own, and then we'll ask if anyone in the audience has any overheards that you could share with us for big
prizes. For big,
real-life prizes, everybody,
that I have in a bag
stashed right behind my chair.
The first prize is an upright.
An upright bass, folks.
An upright bass, everybody. Right here, you win this thing.
You guys may have heard it at the beginning
of the show being tested out.
It's well-tuned. We were testing out the prizes.
There's an amp over here, too.
That got my eye on that one.
How many times have you been at home with a microphone and thought,
Oh, I could use a microphone stand.
God damn it.
Ah, tonight is your night.
I am halfway to karaoke.
And I got a bunch of Pop Rocks.
We got Pop Rocks.
I'm giving away some. Should I say what they are now or should I wait a bunch of pop rocks. We got pop rocks. I'm giving away some.
Should I say what they are now or should I wait?
I like the surprise.
Fine. I like the surprise.
Let me say one of the things that I
have. Describe it. Make people
guess. It's a blanket
with sleeves. No, no, no. It's a blanket with
sleeves. It's a Snuggie and I'm giving it away.
That's right.
It exists. Did I ruin it? It exists.ie and I'm giving it away. That's right. It exists.
No, I got other things too. It'll blow
your mind.
We always like to start with the guest, Jason.
Do you have an
overheard from your time? Mine's an overseen.
Okay, alright. Acceptable.
Something that you've seen.
I was at the gymnasium
and the closed captions was on the TV.
You're very fit.
Yeah, you are very fit.
Thank you.
Really?
I was making conversation.
My mirror is different than yours.
And the closed captions were on the television.
This was a couple months ago when Obama made a surprise visit to Baghdad.
Barack Obama.
Barack Obama.
That's the one, not to be confused
with Malia.
Kent Obama.
And the pundits
and the pundits on CNN
that was a little high
and the pundits on CNN
There it is.
Lock it in.
The pundits on CNN
were remarking on why
when he was in the area, didn't he
visit Avenue Beganstan?
Only got last from Ashoka. Known him all my life.
Known him all my life.
I don't even get it.
It was closed captioning.
Avenue Beganstan.
No, that didn't...
When I read it, I thought it was hilarious.
And I thought, good, stop podcasting yourself.
This is going to be good.
Well, you called us with an overheard a couple of months ago,
and that was great.
We'll credit you one.
Is that how it works?
You get an extra life.
Okay, good.
Is it me?
It's whomever. Which is it?
Whoever or whomever?
Whichever.
Grammar nerds.
Has anybody
heard of the movie The Soloist?
Yeah.
If you haven't heard of it, it's Jamie Foxx
stars as a
cellist? Sure. A street street cellist you know all those
street cellists yeah you see well he's one of those as a street violinist with two strings
and then uh robert danny jr writes his life story in the newspaper and someone donates a cello which
he then plays on the street yeah yeah yeah oh sorry we were doing it in media's res. So then... A lot of big words tonight.
Anyway, so that movie was playing.
I went to go see the movie based on...
It was a documentary about Mike Tyson.
And it was fantastic.
Has anybody seen it?
One person?
The person I went with?
It was really good.
There was only ten people in the theater.
I went the opening night of Star Trek.
And it was a smart move on my part.
I saw Star Trek.
It was awesome.
Yeah.
But how did it make you feel about Evander Holyfield?
Tasty.
So after the movie, when I was walking, we were walking out,
and the soloist was letting out at the exact same time. And there was a gentleman and a lady were walking out and the soloist was letting out at the exact same time
and there was a gentleman and a lady
were walking out of the soloist
and the man was explaining a part of the movie.
He was saying to the lady,
well, you see the birds
represented the music flowing through him.
And then she said,
I'm so glad you're here.
Avenue Began stand
up on the TVs.
Yeah!
It was awesome.
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
I found the birds represented the same thing
in That Thing You Do.
All right, that was all right.
I'll get that out.
That was a good one, Graham.
Thanks, buddy.
I do what I can.
Mine, my overheard,
it was actually something someone said to me, but I didn't know the person.
So it counts.
Last night I was at Vancouver's local Chuckle Hut, yuck yucks.
Yeah, give it up for Chuckle Hut.
Double wise.
and I walked in there and I was performing
but as I walked in
an audience member recognized me
and he was wearing
everything he had on
had the words Harley and Davidson on it
and he was carrying a motorcycle helmet
and he
he walked up to me
and he was like,
Oh man, I've seen you before. I really like your act.
Just go with me.
But then he looked
at what I was wearing. And I was wearing basically
what I'm wearing tonight. Jeans,
a tie, and a jacket.
We should mention for the people at home, we are all dressed
pretty nicely. I'm going to say.
You guys are dressed
nicely.
Don't sell yourself short.
Come on.
Thank you.
You should come over more often.
Yeah, okay.
Where do you live?
L.A.
Yeah, down to Axel Foley's house.
Go on.
So he told me...
Nobody got that.
Beverly Hills Cop reference.
They got it.
They just didn't appreciate it.
Yeah.
He saw what I was wearing.
Part of history.
I don't usually wear this on stage, but it was
a paid gig, so I figured, well.
And so he saw
me in a jacket and tie, and he said,
you got that whole Jamie Kennedy look.
Jamie Kennedy star of Son of the Mask.
Yeah.
And the Jamie Kennedy experience.
Experiment? How did you feel? I felt Mask. Yeah. And the Jamie Kennedy experience. Experiment?
How did you feel?
I felt cheated.
Yeah.
I felt objectified.
And I felt...
Did he mean it as a compliment?
Was it a...
I think he just said the first thing that came to his mind.
He was trying to get out of the conversation and he succeeded.
Imagine if your brain worked that that was the first thing that came to your mind.
Imagine that that's how your brain functions.
I was hoping that maybe he meant
a different Kennedy.
A lesser Kennedy.
Or a greater Kennedy.
Like a Jackie.
That's probably what he said.
He probably just slurred his
Jamie, Jackie.
Very close.
I was wearing the little John John outfit from JFK's funeral,
and I was doing a salute.
He always salutes.
Too soon.
Too soon.
Or too late, maybe.
Yeah.
Too late or too contrived.
This is a weird thing.
I've read Jamie Kennedy's autobiography.
Who wrote that?
Jamie Kennedy wrote this book.
And in the back thing, there's...
If you've ever read an autobiography of a kind of celebrity that's only been around for five years,
they put in a section where it's all glossy photos in the middle.
With ten new glossy photos.
And then at the back, it was Jamie's
guide to being a success
in Hollywood.
And his top tip,
this is actually from the book,
he said,
the heading was, Sleep Around.
I've heard that. Yeah. And he said,
there was a producer for Scream, which he was in, who wanted to have sex with me.
Spoiler alert.
And I had sex with her.
And then I got in the movie.
So if you are ever scratching your head at home, like, wait, what?
Hey, we have an actor who was just in Hollywood with us.
Does that work?
No, I just picked up a set.
Jamie Kennedy, everybody.
I just, where were you eight months ago
I should have read this book before I left
Apparently putting out
If there's ever a time where you're like
John Stamos or whatever
Whatever is the actor that you're confused
As to their monstrous success
John Stamos
Read their autobiography
Or assume that they're having sex with producers.
All right.
So we were going to do...
We overheard...
We're going to throw it out to the audience.
Like I said, like Dave gave away,
I have a Snuggie to give away as a prize.
I have...
I am legend...
Legend?
Legend?
How do you pronounce it?
Legend?
Yeah, which version is it?
The Dutch?
Yeah, it's the Dutch version.
It's on Blu-ray DVD.
Is it really? Does anyone have a Blu-ray player?
Yeah.

Now, it was a set of brass balls on the back of a F-350.
Brass truck nuts.

your trailer hitch?
I bet he had them made.

He had them made.
Yeah, you know what?
They probably were custom made.

No, no, wait.
There's a guy here.
Just slow down, Grabby.
Get out of my light.
Your name?
Well, this is actually important.
My name is Nick Marino.
And this is a commercial drive one, because I walked into the Brutso coffee bar about a year ago
and just as I opened the door and I walked in, these
two old guys are talking and one guy
said, Mike Marino doesn't know what
the hell he's talking about. And they were
talking about my dad.
And just as an aside,
he's right over there. Dad, do you want to give him a wave?
Mike Marino!
Mike Marino, everybody!
He has no idea what he's waving about.
He doesn't know what he's talking about!
I've always said that about him.
You think you can compete with that?
All right.
Does Nick get a prize?
Well, we're going to see, because this is for the Snuggies.
Oh, this is for all the Snuggies?
Oh, this is for all the Snuggies.
This is the last prize.
I'm going to leave this up to the audience vote.
So here we go.
I've got Pop Rocks if anyone wants them.
Hit it, football guy.
Once again, from Commercial Drive,
I'm walking down between
Kitchener and Charles, and I hear this
loud commotion going on. And I
hear, why don't you learn how to
drive? Do you think you own the road?
So I turn and I look, and I
see this guy leaning in the window
of the car, screaming at this
lady driver, and then
he storms away and
jumps on his moped and drives away.
That's where you lost me.
Pretty good.
We got football guy,
moped rage,
and we have
Jake Marino's dad's an idiot.
How can you compete? How can you compete with Nick Marino's dad's an idiot. How can you compete?
How can you compete with Mike Marino?
Mike Marino?
Mike Marino, what do you say?
All right, Nick, come up here.
Whose dad doesn't want a Snuggie?
Win yourself a Snuggie.
Is a Snuggie big enough for two?
That is such a good line, Shuka.
Try it on, please.
I want people to know this shit's legitimate.
Is that how you flirt, Dave?
Is this snuggie big enough for two?
Yeah.
That's how I flirt.
God damn it.
Yes, and.
Abby didn't stand a chance, did she?
Did you throw that to football?
Nick Marino, how do you feel?
Wow.
I feel snuggie. Nick feels snuggie. Look at him, everybody. How cuddly. I dare you not to hug him. Nick Marino, how do you feel? Wow, that was some pop rock

We're wearing the Snuggie right now
He's wearing it right now
That's all the overheards everybody
Round of applause for everybody that contributed
That's a hug, that's a chick magnet right there
Alright everybody, we got one more segment we want to do.
Yeah.
I'll just play the theme song.
Wait.
What are you made of?
Can you see with both your eyes?
Look in the distance.
It's easy if you try.
Watch all the movies.
And don't waste your time.
Just give it a line.
One line. Graham's Dad
That is of course the theme song
for Graham's Dad movie reviews.
And for people who
For people who are unfamiliar with this
segment, my dad
when he watches movies has an ability
to condense down the entire
plot, cinematography, direction
and everything to one sentence
and then he'll tell you
it's pretty good or give it a miss.
So our format for this...
So give me an example. For example, The Fugitive.
Oh, also your dad, very bad at
remembering actors' names. Yeah, very
bad. So The Fugitive would
be the guy who played Indiana Jones jumps out of a drainpipe. Yeah. Yeah, very bad. So the fugitive would be the guy who played Indiana Jones
jumps out of a drainpipe.
Yeah.
It's pretty good.
It's pretty good.
That's generally how they go.
So this week,
I called Graham's dad
and I asked him for his movie reviews
about, there's about seven movies,
and I asked for Graham's dad's opinion
of these movies, and
Graham is going to try to guess
what the review would be.
And can I say that at
growing up, when I first read
a full movie review, I was like,
why is this so fucking long?
Okay.
All right.
So these are actual...
Did you tape?
Yeah, yeah.
Graham's dad.
So we're going to hear Graham's...
What Graham thinks his dad reviewed it as.
And then we'll hear what my dad actually...
This is incredible.
It's like Kid Street.
Only more awesome and still on the air
The first movie is
Uncle Buck
What I would say
Would be
John Candy makes a bunch of giant pancakes
With a snow shovel
That's what I would say
Pretty good
John Candy's a bachelor
who's looking after three kids.
He's babysitting three kids
and they're smarter than he is.
It's pretty good.
He sounds way younger than I pictured.
Yeah, why does he sound so young?
I have a Motorola Razr.
Or maybe he should
speed it up and man it up.
He should go to the Jason Bryden school of
man talk. Maybe I'll call
your dad. What's that supposed to mean?
I hope that doesn't mean anything.
That came out so creepy.
I didn't mean for that to happen.
I'm not giving you his number.
Maybe I'll call your dad.
That doesn't uncreepy it at all.
Number two.
Kindergarten cop. call your dad. That doesn't make it better. That doesn't uncreepy it at all. Number two. Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
Okay, number two.
Kindergarten cop.
I'm going to say Arnold Schwarzenegger
tells a kid it's not a tumor.
Pretty good.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
is babysitting some kids
who are smarter than he is
and he tries to convince them
that his headache
isn't a tumor.
Pretty good.
Pretty good.
That was great.
Are you and your dad close?
Very, yeah.
Yeah, maybe you should give his dad a call.
I regret that.
Thelma and Louise.
Alright.
Two ladies in the movie
drive over a cliff at the end.
Give it a miss.
Gina Davis and the woman
from Bull Durham are on a road trip in a convertible and they try to make their car fly.
It's pretty good.
Oh!
Oh, disappointment!
I'm surprised.
He really worked the paws, too.
He really did.
It was pregnant.
Rain Man.
Jack Zang.
Jack Zang?
Do you want to weigh in on this?
I have Asperger's.
All right.
I have Asperger's.
I'm pretty sure that's not what my dad said.
I'm pretty sure that's too many syllables
for Graham's dad. I think, okay.
It's Rain Man.
Oh, uh...
Dustin Hoffman.
I want to say, like, the guy from
Born on the Fourth of July.
Top Gun.
Gamble together.
And he's obsessed with clean underwear.
I'm going to say...
Give it a miss.
Whoa.
Controversial.
Yeah, exactly.
Dustin Hoffman and his brother
are on a road trip in a big yellow Cadillac,
and he only buys his boxing shorts from Kmart. It's really good.
Really good. But I was right about the underwear. It's pretty good. I knew that he would hit the
underwear. Yeah, that's not creepy when I say it because it's my dad. Karate Kid.
Yeah, that's not creepy when I say it, because it's my dad.
Karate Kid.
Oh, uh... Superfan.
We got a superfan.
I guarantee you your dad didn't sing the theme song.
I think my dad would say Karate Kid.
Little Kid.
Hooks up Yeah
Hooks up with
With a
An Asian gentleman
Teaches him to wax on wax off
Wins in a karate fight
It's pretty good
That's my guess
Karate kid
Mr. Miyagi
Tried to teach a kid
How to
Do karate
And wax cars.
It's pretty good.
Was it pretty good?
It's pretty good.
Yeah!
I think he said it was okay.
I am shocked
that he has retained Mr. Miyagi.
Well, you need to give him more credit.
Yeah, I really do.
I think he's getting kind of cocky
with this newfound fame.
Yeah.
He's doing research.
He's also parading around my mom.
He's like, who's got a segment on the podcast?
Who's got a segment?
That is awesome.
He's getting a little big at the kitchen table.
Okay.
Braveheart.
Oh, Mel Gibson says he's half blue, half not blue.
Tells the troops they'll never take our country.
I don't know if he liked it or not.
I'm going to say give it a miss.
I'm going to say give it a miss.
All right.
No, you think?
He liked it.
He liked it? All right. I'll say yeah. give it a miss. All right. No, you think? He liked it. He liked it?
All right.
I'll say yeah.
It's pretty good.
Is Clark a Scottish name?
Clark is not.
It's in English or Irish.
All right.
We're Irish.
It says something.
It says something.
Yeah.
Braveheart, Mel Gibson paints his face and tries to ask Scottish.
It's god awful.
Give it a miss.
That's what I said!
You were right!
You know your dad better than everyone.
I cannot believe I let you sway me on that.
I hope you learned your lesson.
Man up!
Okay, one more.
One more! Be your own person. This is pretty obvious, Okay, one more.
One more.
Be your own person.
This is pretty obvious, because your dad actually requested this.
Okay.
Cool hand Luke.
Going all the way back.
Cool hand Luke.
Paul Newman says to a guy,
Oh no, Paul Newman is told by the guy with glasses, I think we have...
I think what we have here is a
misunderstanding.
It's a failure
to communicate.
What we have here is
different word talk.
He made a great point, though.
He made a great point.
So postmodern.
Is it giving a miss? Oh, no. Yeah, exactly. All right. Is it give and a miss?
Oh, no.
It's absolutely pretty good.
Or best movie ever.
We'll have Luke.
Paul Newman wrenches the heads off some parking meters.
He eats 50 hard-boiled eggs, and he fails to communicate.
It's definitely a must-see.
Yes!
Do you want to wrap it up?
I do indeed. That was a round of applause
for my dad and his awesome movie reviews.
That was great.
Outstanding all around.
