uh just to get me in there like a shallow grave throw me in yeah do you think that you would
prefer a shallow grave or a very very deep grave dead or alive oh yeah dead yeah oh right okay i Oh, yeah, dead. Yeah. Oh, right. Okay. I was going to say, if I'm treading water, I want it deep. Yeah.
Yeah, I would say, still, if I'm dead, make it deep.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, because shallow, like, coyotes are going to eat parts of you.
Exactly.
Then you have to be part coyote for the afterlife.
Is that how it works?
Something like that?
Yeah, 100%.
Which could be cool, but i personally want every little
morsel of my dead body to become one with nature oh i guess it would it still would if yeah the
coyotes sure coyotes are nature yeah what's your favorite scavenger chris uh i would have to say Hunt. Like Helen Hunt?
Yeah, she's a scavenger.
You should have seen her robbing me when I passed out on the set of
It Only Gets Better After This.
Oh, yeah.
I love that show.
She got an Oscar for that.
Yeah, that was Thursday Must See TV.
What was it called again?
It was called Nothing Is As Good as It's Gonna Get.
There's nothing good yet.
Did you see, did you see,
because I don't think anyone can,
can you name, so like I can name three Helen Hunt roles.
Okay.
She was the, she was on the show with Paul Reiser,
Mad About You. She was in As Good As It Gets. And the reiser mad about you she was in as good as it gets
and the third one do you know the third one i'm gonna name cram is it the one about where she's
a sex therapist yeah yeah i don't remember what that's called no me neither lung tube
uh can you name another role she had uh no i think that's it i think she was a sex therapist yeah and to a guy that was in an iron
lung played by dj oh was it did he he was in an iron lung but needed to talk to a sex therapist
no like uh touching wasn't it like a physical sex yeah yeah she she was like oh she had to get
care of him yeah which uh noble noble profession i know what that movie was called what was called
it was called uh rubber
helen hunt is rubber oh she was in twister oh yeah good and she was inber Oh she was in Twister Oh yeah
Twister's
Good
Everybody's in that
And she was in
Cast Away
Oh at the very beginning
Right
And the very end
That's right
Yeah
But I could not tell you
What As Good As It Gets
Is about
I know that
I saw it
In the movie theater
I know that
Jack Nicholson
Is
Afraid of
Stepping on a crack yeah and he
writes novels cuba gooding jr says show me the money yeah greg kinnear has a tiny little dog
uh yeah it was uh was it a james l brooks joint i don't know i think so um but yeah it was classic
twister did you see it in the theater chris twister uh no i don't actually. I think so. But yeah, it was classic. Twister, did you see it in the theater, Chris?
Twister?
No, I don't actually.
I think it might have been a VHS experience.
Maybe DVD.
Cool DVD.
Yeah, I get to see those extra features, how they made the cow fly and such.
Yeah.
They put a sticker on a plastic uh see-through panel
it was just a cow because that's why if you look closely at twister
part of the cow's head is peeling off of what the sky
this is these are uh behind the scenes this is what people look for
yeah it's just a still cow with a folded overhead.
If you look really closely, you can see some tape holding it on.
Yeah, and like, you know, some, I don't know,
some like rubbed out pieces of paper from where other stickers used to be.
It was actually the bottom of Helen Hunt's skateboard.
Yeah. from where other stickers used to be it was actually the bottom of helen hunt's skateboard yeah helen hunt is here's a little factoid for everybody listening right here comes there was another actor who was popular around the same time and she was like a 20 year younger maybe
even 30 year younger spitting image of her lily sobieski oh yeah don't you think they looked this similar i
always thought that they do they look like they freaky friday'd no wait yeah freaky fridaying
doesn't change your physical appearance it doesn't change your physio monogamy
i always got uh lily sobieski mixed up with estella warren who was a model but also was in the planet
of the apes movie with marky walberg so i'm at my parents house i told you this off off camera
which is in etobicoke ontario um and the little i think it's just a little bit over for me i think
it i don't know if it's Etobicoke or Mississauga
Which is the next little
Suburb west of Toronto
Estella Warren was from there
And I knew people that knew her
Cool
Or maybe at least went to school with her
Nice, nice
So what do you guys need?
You know
See what her grad photo
What she wanted to do What she wanted yeah what did she
write in her quote yeah she said you watch i'm gonna be in a pretty bad planet of the apes
she knew it was pretty bad that was i know but it's still better than most of her friends that's
why she put you watch yeah you watch assholes you said i never get in a planet of the apes movie
or if you did you thought i'd be an ape i also like uh didn't think it was that bad
like oh yeah i don't think any of them are any good but the but isn't that the point
well the first the new ones are fantastic yeah but are they yeah but did you like
graham did you like the prison break one
even the third one yeah i liked them all i did maybe the third one was the weakest of the three
but uh but yeah i thought they were great but aren't they just a bunch of talking monkeys
there's some talking monkeys well no talking monkeys they're all apes there's no talking
monkeys in it they're actually like brooding a lot yeah i thought it
was i thought those ones were like you know i like the um the the effects and all that but i
thought it was really serious very serious it's very serious and apes have machine guns in it
but the fact that it's so serious and they're apes doesn't that make it pretty silly
yeah you haven't seen them you don't know i saw i saw the first two oh okay well i saw
james franco and i saw whatever the one where they're you know going over the golden gate bridge
why is the golden gate bridge that's the james franco one yeah like why does it always get the
it's like always uh under attack by x-men or terrorists or spider-man villains monsters love it well why
do monsters love it so much iconic i think it's just like there's the the air up there is so nice
so they're like let's go shoot in san francisco it's a nice place to be no i mean even the
monsters like getting out of the city and just hanging out on the bridge. Yeah, they're not, like, knocking down Coit Tower or, you know, Fisherman's Wharf.
Yeah, or the Painted Ladies or whatever.
They're not shaking a cable car.
Yeah, what the hell?
They never go to Chinatown and, like...
They never get a Mission-style burrito.
Yeah, they don't start a cool garage punk band.
What's your favorite garage punk band from
san francisco well the oc started there tie seagulls started there they're good guys
green day did green day start there if you have a time to take away some time to listen to me get up that's as good as it did you ever want to be in a punk band
i was in a punk band in grade 12 and what were what what kind of punk did you play
um we did no effects covers uh and uh maybe that's it i don't know we were pretty bad you know like those socal
skate punk bands like the drum beat would always be like yeah you know what i mean yeah but then
our drummer was he was into led zeppelin and the rest of us were into this punk. So the drummer was not as schooled. So he'd start going like,
but it would transform into a polka beat.
Like,
and we go,
no,
we're trying to do a cover of no effects.
I feel so bad.
Actually.
I do every now and then feel guilt that I was mean to him.
Like I wasn't as patient with him as I could have been,
but we were just dumb teens.
Yeah.
Were you,
what were you?
Guitar?
Bass?
Yeah,
I played guitar,
but it was ridiculous.
I mean,
come on.
Like it was ridiculous.
I played power chords and that's all I can still do to this day,
you know?
But like you could play them.
So that was something.
Yeah.
Hey,
um,
can,
what were you guys in a band?
Yeah,
I was,
I was in a band that slowly it was revealed to me over time was a YouTube
cover band because we slowly one song at a time.
We were learning all these YouTube songs.
You play drums.
I played drums in that.
I was like,
huh,
we're doing a lot of you two songs
and then it just i was like basically where you two is that and did you leave after that
yeah uh well first we became the biggest band in the world yeah and then i yeah i retired
we were called cold play and dave was in a band too i was in a couple of bands um i was in a band that sound was basically
a weezer cover band but uh like in our sets we would have like 10 originals and then 10 weezer
songs nice at least you got to 10 originals that's pretty good i mean they they did i i joined late
oh what'd you play i played guitar and then I was in an instrumental rock band.
Instrumental?
Like, was it like post-rock?
Like, tourist or something?
Sort of, yeah.
Cool.
Yeah.
In BC?
Yeah, in Vancouver.
Wow, that's actually really cool.
West Coast post-rock sort of noodley thing?
Yeah, not really noodley, like pop like uh like come on you guys
noodled no we that was like one of our rules we were like we're not a jam band uh we're like
these are like we're writing we we are writing two minute songs yeah with with no words but like
you could have you could have noodled if you wanted to. You had the ability to noodle. Not really.
I'm pretty bad.
I mean, I'm fine.
Yeah.
But I often told myself,
hey, you know what?
There's a lot of personality to my playing.
I may not be the most technically good.
If a monster came up from san francisco to vancouver and you had to um quiet it down
soothe it with like your guitar playing how long would you last yeah that's a great question um
boy that is a that is a good question how long would i last at soothing a monster with my guitar i mean i could uh i could probably yeah i could play like 15
minutes of soothing solo guitar you're dead yeah that's right that monster's gonna be distracted
and also guys we're all like around the same age so that means graham you were in a u2 cover band
when u2 was already really known as being bad. Yeah. Yeah.
But like,
like it wasn't even like eighties U2.
It was like,
I tell you,
it was one song at a time that we were like,
okay,
we'll learn this U2 song.
And I was like,
that'll be a crowd pleaser.
And then I'm like,
okay,
let's learn this other one.
Well,
if it read like that,
and then just eventually that was all we were practicing.
But was it all Zropa or it was all
over the map some joshua trees some uh oh okay okay yeah um did you have a lead singer or a
guitar a lead singer like who only sang or a guitarist lead singer guitarist lead singer
and he didn't look at all like bono so okay did it have the same attitude as
bono yeah he joined the un for a while and like
made some demands on a special red ipod
yeah like forced you to upload his album on itunes was his name rano
zano like x-o-n-o yano yeah yeah he was yano did you guys uh did you play any like live gigs do you play
did a gig around yeah we played like three and they were all battle of the band style things
right uh and then one at our high school and like did people go crazy for it um not i don't think so
it wasn't like a bunch of high fives at the end of the set or them like
dousing you in beer uh i was like a skater style guy and like punk guy so like i think there was
like a bunch of older girls that thought i was kind of cute or something sure so i remember getting there they were giving me lots of attention after the high school one
that was pretty cool yeah that is how well how so say some older girls come up from san francisco
how long how much many minutes of attention would you last with them well uh i was really uh
i wanted the attention do you remember that high
school conflict where you want the attention but you're like a shy virgin so you you sabotage it
anyways so you can be safe again no i wasn't a virgin in high school oh sick dude i didn't know
that yeah last three grades seven you never told me that, dude.
What the hell?
You should have told me that right away.
Oh, yeah.
No, no.
Definitely very experienced entering high school.
Yeah, grade seven was a good time.
I was too nervous. I blew it.
What did you wear your first day of high school?
It was funny that you say that because i say
i was a shy virgin but i wore those leather pants where your dick hangs out
lenny kravitz ones yeah i'm a huge we did a i was in a lenny kravitz cover band too
but we were all terrible musicians so we just ripped our leather pants and had dicks hang out
it's actually a lenny Kravitz uncover band.
Yeah, and then we had like famous daughters too.
Cool.
Yeah.
Who was your famous daughter again?
Zoe Locke.
Yeah.
You don't know her?
No, I mean I know of her.
She's on some shows.
Dave, what do you wear first day of high school can you remember i remember i absolutely remember it was a uh i i got it on summer vacation it was a
like a patch color blocked out like red and blue and green and yellow long sleeve i believe woolen t-shirt
like i only know that because it shrunk
did it hurt no it was weirdly like very light uh but i was and i was sweating by the end because
it was still september and a pair of shorts but i remember being like uh
oh i'm not i'm not gonna make it in high school i'm already doomed they used to dress us really
bad when we were really little remember like sweaters like they were like wool sweaters but
then they'd have big leather patches on them and stuff yeah what was it all that mix and match of
material stuff but i don't think
that's bad i think like the stuff you can get away with before you dress yourself oh man even when
you first dress yourself and your parents are like i'm not picking this battle and then you can yeah
wear underwear on the outside of your pants which i was always big into because of your supermans
and your batmans etc but like superman hasn't been able to
get away from the underwear thing but batman has batman is now like the spooky guy that doesn't
have underwear on the outside right well he painted his underwear black but it's still there
yeah he's he's wearing a tight tight y fronts kind of thing that's what i did my first day of high school
i uh had the hole in my leather pants everybody was saying ew about my dick as i walked down the
hall so then i borrowed my buddy's white hanes and then went to the art department
painted them black to match the leather pants and then i made so many friends yeah everybody's like oh man you're cool now that your
dick's under control yeah and all these girls were hugging me but then they were getting black
paint on their crotches this is a wow what a wild first day you had it was basically a whole big
story yeah yeah yeah and do you remember what did you wear to your grad do you remember
like to the party version not the not the robe or whatever to my grad i remember i just
wore like a bathing suit and a huge backpack with everything i truly loved in it and i said i'm out
of here see you never loses peace yeah nice to know you and then everybody's like was that the guy
who had his dick out the first day of high school yeah but we didn't see him at all from the between
the first day and today except for that one battle of the band yeah i was just like a little gag
character during high school showed up for up for a couple of gags.
I wasn't like the main character.
No, just a couple of gags here and there.
Yeah.
Do you remember the main character of your high school?
Yes.
He looked exactly like Luke Perry from 90210.
Oh.
And all the girls loved him.
And guess what?
Now he's an anti-vaxxer.
Of course. the girls loved him and guess what and now he's an anti-vaxxer of course covid denier government conspiracy everything this brain is fried yeah are you are you how
do you know that are you friends with them facebook friends i've heard through the breeze
yeah well sometimes that's just the way it goes right yeah that's what happened to me sometimes
you peak in high school and then i don't know your brain gets fried and this guy got the same education as you isn't that weird
yeah as much as you could call it an education am i right guys yeah exactly i don't know i wasn't
there me neither man they're just trying to turn this into automaton go to work get a wife get kids you know die whatever what when you left high school what was your did you go into university or did you just hit the
road well i went i hit the road man yeah you know i went into a bunch of universities i'll tell you
that pick up shrooms here there peyote there do you list that on your resume i've been to a bunch of schools man what i did was
i'd go into universities into the band rooms and i'd steal like tubas trumpets trombones whatever
and that's how i'd make my money to travel across north america and uh china as a one-man band
no i would sell the instruments oh okay yeah i i take the cash to buy greyhound bus tickets
it was the master plan yeah and i was only just wearing a bathing suit the whole time a tommy
bahama bathing suit with pineapples on it yeah tommy bahama they make an excellent bathing suit
or you know what some great barbecue wear i know tommy bahama look for the marlin
um did you uh did they have at your high school did they have king and prom king and queen did
they do that thing no i think i was uh during my prom it was still the era of like they were starting to be fair to everybody
right everyone got a trophy be nice yeah even the ugliest people you've ever seen
um people were being nice to them at that time
and then the internet came and that ugly people really got hammered so what was your like what is in your mind the difference between prom
and grad and like what are they different things i mean my mind or graham's mind because he brought
up the two yeah yeah i think of them as the same thing well grad is the presentation like to the
school right that's what i was thinking oh and then prom is but like is there and then what's prom prom is where you get your diploma
and uh by that i mean in the hotel room you get diploma
whatever whatever it's fine uh did you guys score on your prom night in the hotel room
like score some coke or something like that no score like with your date no was there okay
because i like okay we gotta get into these stories but i feel like the thing is that uh
like in the movies there's prom which is a separate thing that does not happen at it happens when you're in
your final year of high school yeah but it's not the same day that you get your diploma
no but then you we had a an official like grad party at the school or like on a boat outside
the school we didn't have that uh on the day of our graduation yeah but then
we had an we had an unsanctioned like two girls from our class rented a like a hotel ballroom and
said we're putting on the prom that's awesome but i don't know and we had to buy like a 50 ticket
shit they probably made so much fucking money off of that they're probably still laughing their ass
off but it was uh but i don't i i feel like in the movies prom is like a thing that exists and
in canada anyway it isn't or it's like well okay mine was technically i'll blow your anybody all
your listeners minds right now okay we didn't call it the prom actually i didn't have a problem we went to a formal ah the formal yeah yeah when was that the spring before grad or was it a was it a christmas
formal i don't know was it the snowball yeah well i don't know no it was just like damn i think maybe
i'm wrong i gotta we also had a bunch of dances throughout the year for like and they were called
formals every time no they were just like and they were called formals every time
no they were just like they were for the whole school not not the grad class yeah we had that
too but like the older you got you didn't go yeah that's uh that was like they were cool in grade
nine but or ninth grade to the americans but you know what i'm saying by grade 10 you're like do
you want to go i don't know and then you're well, let's just go jump on skateboards and stuff like that.
Yeah, let's tell our parents we're going, but then let's just smoke weed in a bush.
Then you come home with a bunch of like thistles in your jacket.
Yeah, let's drink Canadian club in a bush.
And freeze to death.
Did you ever have, because you see it in movies all the time that they had like
food and punch and all this kind of stuff at the grad that or at the dance that was never i never
had anything like that did you guys well our prom that the the girls like rented out the hotel uh
whatever like ballroom yeah hat because it was like normally they rented out for weddings
so they had like this was part of it so they had like those things where they put mashed potatoes
in and then like the the top goes over did you guys eat wedding old wedding cakes at your dances
someone's rejected wedding food no it was like a it was like a you know choose chicken or fish or whatever yeah
oh cool uh the 90s was such a place where it was like i just made this up in my head it wasn't true
but it was close doesn't this feel close to being true you guys graduated late 90s right yeah yeah
yeah doesn't this feel like something they do like for our dance uh we got sponsored by taco
bell and there's gonna be a taco bell spread and then like everybody's dancing and then just the
table where the taco bell spread was would just be like like messed up to shit by like an hour in
like we did like i feel like our school was like this is gonna be sound nuts to you guys, but in our cafeteria from grade 10 on, okay, grade
nine, we had like lunch ladies preparing meals that you could buy, like fries with gravy
and chicken parms or whatever.
I don't know.
Chicken parms.
It was really fancy.
But then grade 10 on, we seriously, I'm not making this up.
There was a pizza pizza and I know it's Ontario, I think is pizza pizza, but it's like.
We have it now.
Okay.
Fast food pizza.
So there's a pizza pizza kiosk and a Tim Hortons kiosk.
So like teens were buying like Tim Hortons donuts and coffee at like 9am and I was eating
a pepperoni slice every lunch yeah isn't that messed
up that's getting more and more common i think but isn't we didn't have that we had like a you
know whatever different thing every day of the week but uh that's nice but not like and you had
a boat party i think you went to a really fancy school we had a dry grad oh it was the boat party was a dry grad and anything scoring you did was a
dry hump that's the yeah yeah no uh moisture anywhere well i was a dry guy oh really yeah
yeah so dry humping was a big deal to you yeah yeah yeah you gotta walk before you run dry
humping was frustrating for me every time you say it like
that was an exclusive thing that you you it was it was just like something like i'm unique like
that whereas it was like the end the all end all oh my gosh i still love it
chris what if your wife was like, let's dry hump? What would your reaction be?
I mean, that's the challenge, isn't it?
That's the challenge, isn't it?
For all.
I'd be like, I'm taking off these corduroy pants.
Yeah, you gotta like, you gotta find a woman that will get past dry humping for the rest
of your life or else you're screwed.
Are there any?
You marry somebody that you've only dry humped? And like that's exactly how i like it and the other way grosses me out did i ever tell
you graham about uh uh so my college roommate her um her mother grew up with a hockey broadcaster Ron McClain. Yeah.
And one time at a party
they dry hump.
And so
every time he came on TV we started
calling him her dryological father.
Oh my god!
That rules.
Jesus Christ
at least it wasn't Don Cherry. Holy crap.
Yeah. Oh man he probably have some
pretty gross stories well no he was married most of the time he was like
he was kind of he's married to rose until 20 years ago yeah he got married in grade seven
yeah lost it he's old school did you guys have uh like significant others by the time you were graduating? Or were you all gone stag?
I was dating someone, yeah, that I...
Oh, I loved her.
She was the best.
Yeah.
I was nuts about this girl.
Do you guys keep in touch?
Yeah.
Is she an anti-vaxxer now?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I think she's married to a guy that doesn't look as fucking
cool as me man i'll tell you that much you should download a picture of their family
and put your face over it make it your profile pic i'll download a picture of their family and
like just fucking photoshop me jumping over them on a motorcycle yes that's the perfect way to get
your revenge your revenge hey uh my high school girlfriend
was a real anti-waxer was it where like okay can i be crass here ladies i'm sorry if you're
listening but you know what i'm talking about and also dave said the joke but i like it when

So Dave,
I was just doing wordplay.

i remember there were people we did a debaters yeah yeah and so but i knew it was a thing because
and i knew that there were cases spreading up in vancouver while i was there i had been following
it since january i'm always like kind of looking out for this kind of stuff in a paranoid way
and then uh and then that guy actually needed medical attention on the flight
oh really freaky yeah but i couldn't tell if it was like maybe he had the mask on because
he was hyper like paranoid i don't know right he was having like a panic attack but also he could
have been doing it to just be nice to your fellow yeah plane passengers but it hadn't even become a
thing like if you guys remember like
way into oh i don't know what it was like in bc but in way into march maybe even early april here
in ontario there were no masks yeah they were saying don't even i was still going into stores
with no mask on medical advice but i want to say i i when i did convince kathleen begrudgingly but she she understood like what i was saying
we canceled cuba uh we still have i guess like that's you know a gift certificate for sunwing
or something uh-huh uh i hope to use it one day to go back the lockdown went into effect to go
to cuba lockdown but it wasn't a lockdown but what happened what
was it oh they called it a they said it was a pandemic the day after we canceled yeah what is
it like in ontario now people are really uh from what i'm seeing because i'm doing live stand-up
shows outside on like patios and at bars and stuff and we're all partying having a great time i mean nobody is like it's
really nice to see the city coming back to life i mean people are mostly uh wearing math like
like you see one like like on the subway you'll see someone not wearing a mask like once in a
every now and then right and they look like a person who it's like yeah okay we get it whatever
yeah there's one girl on the subway you're the main character in chris's high school
yeah but honestly like hey yeah i almost said his name but yeah yeah um i saw a girl on the subway
without that wasn't wearing a mask yeah and this was like even like a few weeks ago when like the double vaccines
hadn't really taken off yet like we're just starting and uh she was a babe she was really
beautiful not to be like i don't judge everyone i see but she was clearly like beautiful and there's
a part of me that was like i think you're an anti-masker because of like you want people to
see your face yeah you could just wear it as like a hairband or something like that that's why i'm a
masker yeah i know well like for hideous guys like us i mean it's been a dream come around or what
yeah yeah wearing masks and then sunglasses and a hat makes you look like the invisible man
i've actually been eating more chips drinking more beer just taking full advantage of masking up i went to the grocery store today and for the first time
since the pandemic started they had like the second entrance on the other side of the grocery
store open oh yeah now you know it's time to party uh they've they've i they still have the arrows on
the ground which i've never respected oh i i totally
i followed the arrows everywhere oh i i respect the like six feet the dots oh yeah six feet apart
but like yeah like can't go down this aisle this way i can't go down the aisle no one's in it no
one did that but you know what you do if you're in the wrong you moonwalk and that way you get
around it because you technically are walking the right direction,
but you're moving in the other.
So you're watching me backwards.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is,
I'm thinking of a mirror.
It's a trick.
You'd have to trick the employees.
Do you think the first time people saw the moonwalk that they absolutely lost
their shit?
They did.
Have you seen the video of it?
Yeah.
No,
it was like the Motown,
whatever,
25th anniversary or something. But guess what, guys?
Since the hero you're talking about is not a hero anymore,
you can find footage of, I believe it's Cab Calloway doing it way back in the 30s.
So whatever.
Yeah.
And Cab Calloway was the guy who was like,
rap tat tat or something. what was his famous song no those were machine guns was he like wasn't he like scooby-doopa-doop
yeah he uh uh minnie the moocher is a big one yeah yeah yeah minnie the moocher yeah
no he's not i guess he's scattered a little bit did you grow up in a in a cab calloway
house i grew up in that era oh that's right i forget that you're 90 plus years old yeah um so
on spotify yeah the top five uh cab calloway cab calloway songs. By the way, I would have guessed, if you had asked me who Cab Calloway was two minutes ago,
I would have said an actor?
Oh my God.
Silent film?
He's the best.
He was one of the best swing band leaders ever.
And yeah, he did scat, I guess.
He'd be like,
Scooby-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo.
Yeah.
He's always been like that.
Because he did that in Blues Brothers.
He's like,
Yeah.
Number five, his top five songs.
Number five, Jump and Jive five jump and jive okay and then they later added a whale yeah you had to wail number four reefer man reefer man is
obviously yeah yeah um number three saint james infirmary oh I love that one. Sing it. Can you sing that one? Sing it. Yeah, sing it.
It's a
sad one. It's kind of got a slow
I can't remember. There's like, but you know
what they did? This is what all
those old like St. James Infirmary
and Minnie the Moocher like
they got popular too because they
paired those songs that were
popular at the time anyways
with betty boop cartoons so cab calloway like a cartoon incarnation of cab calloway would show up
as like a ghost or something in a betty boop cartoon right sing these songs and so that's
kind of how people would be like get out of the way i'm too horny i don't want to look at you
i'm i'm into like boop yeah exactly give me boop those eyes nuts we're trying
to boop over here yeah we got a boop and then we get in the cab number two everybody eats when
they come to my house jesus that's a long title i don't know that one that's i think that's how
it ends it kind of cuts off after everybody eats when they come yeah everybody eats when they come to my house when they come because they were watching betty boop and cap galway's hit song
is everybody eats my cum
and then minnie the moocher minnie the moocher st james of ernie goes like this
uh i like i don't know the lyrics but he's like he's something like he's like Minnie the Moocher. Minnie the Moocher. So, St. James Infirmary goes like this.
I like,
I don't know the lyrics but he's like,
he's something like,
he's like,
I went down
to St. James
Infirmary
to
see
a baby
da ba da ba da ba
like that is really good.
I'm not joking.
You guys have to listen to it.
It's so good.
The White Stri stripes had a
song called saint james infirmary blues which they did a lot of old blues covers so i i don't
know if they're related you don't know if like meg and jack are related yeah i don't know if
they're related um they never cleared that up for me but uh how many songs were there about
about this one infirmary?
A lot of shit went down there, man.
Yeah.
A lot of ghosts.
What is an infirmary, like, vis-a-vis a hospital?
I think it's a hospital and an infirmary.
Aren't they the same thing?
Infirmaries are where you go to rest when you've got a huge band-aid on your big toe.
Sure.
From the gout. Yeah. Or yeah or from like yeah uh a hammer dropping
on it oh right right cartoon betty betty boob went down to saint james infirmary to
rest my big toe that a hammer just droppedbed in. What happens in a Betty Boop cartoon?
Does a wolf get horny?
Yeah, basically
like it's like there's this one called
oh yeah, there's another one called Old Man from the Mountain.
I like Cab Calloway
a lot, but I think I might be even
an old cartoon guy more, but like
I love all that stuff, but
there's one called Old Man from the Mountain
and it mostly is betty boop
leaving the safety of her home uh with a pal or not like she had this dog pal i forget his name
like whatever betty boppo or something yeah betty chomp dong head and uh
but like everything got scary wherever she went got scary ghouls were chasing her but
there was also clearly manifestations of like lecherous men yeah and like trying to snatch her
with their you know and they would go like like do a wolf whistle and then like their eyes would
turn into uh like uh what do you call uh slot machines you're actually getting confused with the wolf
from the tex avery cartoons that was star along with droopy the dog droopy the dog was the horny
dog is this your uh area of your expertise is old cartoons i don't know. Well, maybe compared to you guys, it seems like it. I guess so. Yeah. What, uh, what is there, uh, is,
is Cab Calloway the oldest artist you like, or do you like anyone older?
Um, there's a Greek philosopher named Heraclitus that I think is really funny.
Music artist.
Uh, I don't know. Like, geez, of of course i i really love like all like some of the old classical
like claude debussy you know oh yeah like what are you gonna do maurice ravel what are you not
gonna listen to that piano when it's raining outside i mean oh sure yeah totally and the
people also got horny during that right there There were some shadow puppets or something that they did.
You know what's funny to imagine bringing that up, Graham?
I like picturing the 18th and 19th century.
Two lovers just giving each other modern porn-style head.
While reading sheet music.
Yeah, and wearing itchy clothes. That's right doing it in a barn because
that was the only place they could get together but getting it like very modern style like oh
yeah like i did also doing it in a barn because it's the place that the only place that stunk
worse than their bodies that's right i got just the place yeah beside the pig shit i got buckwheated a leg lock
over here there the whole time he's just like it's not it's them man it's these pigs yeah yeah
yeah yeah be cool damn these pigs stink huh it's the pigs huh too bad the barn is the only place we can go
yeah what's wrong with the house renovations it's not up to code
candle uh burnt part of the staircase
so chris tell us about your podcast yeah i want to know it's called evil men yeah have you guys
oh man that's really good holy crap it's me and michael balazzo and james hardnet yeah two of my
funniest oldest funniest friends and we pick a evil man and it could be like real or it could
be a cartoon we've done an episode on gargamel from the smurf yeah oh we've got an episode on dommer uh caligula wait what did dommer do that's so bad
no not dauber from coach
he was so dumb he was evil for being so fucking dumb dude and he's the voice of uh patrick the star yeah oh that's a great gig
that's all i think about now is like did you score a good gig yeah yeah wow so who else have you done
dobbs coach was one of the like uh one of the first shows to have two dumb people because jerry
van dyke was dumb too yeah oh my god you're right what about a show with all dumb people
and their enemy is a smart guy that lives down the road yeah gargamel
i guess this first joseph campbell talk about the double dumb guy archetype
the latest episode is charles ponzi oh you know the inventor of the ponzi scheme it's a really good
one where when did he charge of that one when did he live what was his he lived around the turn of
the uh yeah like 20th century um 1910s i believe okay it was when he was at his height what was
his 1920s like what would you be doing in the 20s scheme wise well you have to listen to that
that's right can we all agree that that the 20th century or the 19th century the the 1900s should
be the 19th century yeah it's too confusing they really effed me up as a kid and i actually crashed
my bike trying to think of it one time crashed my bike into a jug city it was a name of a convenience
store really city yeah they sold they sold milk jugs and they were chest i guess they sold
magazines that called jugs i feel like this i'm sorry i feel like this is a broey it's getting
too broey i'm talking that's why we have you on yeah you're
our broiest guest you come in and you're really sweet yeah you serve i think i think and where
you live you're like not much of a bro but where we live you're the broiest guy yeah it's like bro
jogan it's you joe rogan i would love to become the canadian joe rogan and just be called bro
jogan you'd probably get your own radio show if you were going yeah i think you're like i would I would love to become the Canadian Joe Rogan and just be called bro. Joe. Good.
You'd probably get your own radio show if you were going.
Yeah. I think you're like,
I would love that.
You're very close.
I mean,
you just need to shave part of your head.
Yeah.
I'm good.
Yeah.
The sides I'm close in the sense that I'm an expert on everything.
That's true.
Yeah.
Tell me,
tell me about the invention of the, uh, modern day mop. Yeah. What do you, you know about that. Tell me about the invention of the modern-day mop.
What do you know about that?
Tell me all the things about that.
Well, it's a regular mop.
It doesn't do anything much crazier than you'd expect,
but of course the government wants us to think
that we need new mops all the time.
It's just consumerism, man.
It's just another way
for us to be like docile and complacent spending all our money on crap like modern mops and stuff
okay yeah anyways that was really good that's i didn't know that that was that that was the
whole story behind mop but try try using one of those modern mops on psilocybin, and then we'll talk.
It's a lot better.
What do you... Chris keeps looking out his window.
Yeah, what's going on?
It's raining.
Is there a wolf out there?
Oh, it's raining.
A horny wolf.
Put on some Debussy.
The sky is really rubbing it in that I came over here to water my parents' plants.
It's just like...
Okay, for the listeners, I'm at at my parents house doing a favor this this
week to water their plants and flowers and i did it today and then it rained like a half hour right
after it's been raining ever since so now your trip there was it's complete it's a disaster
i should have known it was gonna rain eh, eh? Yeah, because you know everything.
I know.
Bro Jogan.
Bro Jogan.
Actually, I feel like, not to be one of those dinks,
but I actually do think that Joe Rogan admits that he doesn't know everything.
He's just interested in everything.
And that's why he has all these experts on, right?
Yeah, but his experts are shitheads. any shit head time any shit head can get on there but like from what i've
heard if you get on there that's like you can make a whole career out of that if you if people like
you from that then you're you gotta made in the shade and i have to move to austin austin texas yeah
yeah oh yeah what the fuck is going on with austin texas all these people are moving to austin texas
like i'm only like i i i only just like read the there's like uh well some comic friends have told
me about it but also uh new york times just did an article about it but i think he's like he moved
there and he's like starting a comedy club.
So all these comics that are close to him
or obviously want to be close to him have moved there as well.
And apparently there's something about Texas or Austin in particular
where you don't pay certain taxes.
Okay.
And would he open up a comedy club gym like that they're next door to each
other they're not working out while they're listening to comedy but if you buy is that true
no that's i just made that up but you can see it's like a really close yeah i can see it he's
clearly a workout nut right yeah he loves yeah do you guys see the guy in the ufc guy that broke his leg
it's the most famous ufc guy in the world yeah yeah connor mcgrady oh i saw that happen years
ago no just now oh no but i didn't watch it because uh i uh knew he was going to break his
leg yeah yeah yeah yeah every clip was like watch this guy break his leg i'm like no who was it uh honor mcgregor he broke his leg i didn't how did i miss that i don't know
you were watching old tex avery cartoons yeah yeah they're good they're like funnier than the yeah i'm going down to the octagon to break my leg and then i'm gonna have to go down to
we'll wrap a big band-aid around that don't worry about it we'll put a cold compress on your head
and tie it around did you did you watch it graham um no I just watched the part where your brother's like... Okay, I know you watch
UFC events live sometimes.
This one slipped my notice.
I can't believe I didn't know that, honestly.
Like, I feel like
I'm not a big follower of that stuff, but I feel
like I'm always
around the news, like I could see it.
You know what I mean? On Twitter or something?
You could see news somewhere, yeah.
But there was that guy, I can't remember his name name like alexandro or there was like a guy um i don't know maybe five or six years ago
that was supposed to be like the toughest guy too and then his leg snapped in half and then you could
see video slash images of they shouldn't film these fights a dead a dead half of a leg does wobbling i don't like it at all
and then people people i i just saw the comments afterwards that like the guy who beat him they're
like that doesn't count it's really winning because he broke his leg yeah he broke his leg
he would have gone back into the fight if the doctor said he could he would but like it was
like these people were like oh what a bad fight like what what are you watching
if not to see a guy break it's like what is the point of that's the top fight of the century yeah
and then conor mcgregor he was being interviewed as they were setting his leg and he was so
calm and collected he's like talking so he's tough they i'd be crying i'd be crying so hard
i would be talking in an irish accent was
he no he was speaking in a spanish accent a lot of people said good i'm glad that your leg's broken
that was racist that accent you were doing oh yeah i know um dave what's going on with you man
not a heck of a lot um really not much but I'm glad we've talked for a long time already,
so I don't have to say very much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I feel like we all learn so much about ourselves
in my segment.
Yeah, that's true.
Like, it's, this is, that's,
I feel like the true kind of,
like, what the show should be.
Every time I do this show,
we talk for an hour,
and then Graham does something like that.
And we mostly talk about high school
yeah and is that's not true well we talked about the primus thing that one time that's right
no last time you complained that we were we were the show was 90s yeah yeah i didn't bring up high
school this time did i um i don't know if you brought it up but we definitely talked oh no
i was in a band and that's when i was in a band and then it started all that stuff but then we talked for an hour and then graham goes uh so dave what's
up with you and i'm like why it always hurts my feelings because i'm like am i a narcissist
and i've just been talking about myself but no we haven't we've been chatting about everything we
we should tell the guests to have like a thing prepared but this was very fun and easy yeah because
you we didn't have to with you yeah you're naturally hilarious but here's what's nothing's
going on with me no here's a funny thing that happened today yes is uh so i uh on the way
my daughter was at a a camp this week what kind of camp she's at leg lego camp what the fuck what does that mean i we don't
know you're not bad it's not allowed we we were because it's like uh at the place same place she
does preschool so it was like we just uh saw like every week is a different camp okay and and the
only description is that they say bring a snack every week will be a different camp okay and and the only description is that they say bring a snack every
week will be a different camp this week lego camp so we don't know what that means we assumed she'd
be making a bunch of lego yeah day one she comes home says i didn't touch a single piece of lego
here's a picture of a here's like a some lego like a lego man's head i made out of
popsicle sticks what that's like you should call
the better business bureau because that's not a lego camp day two yeah we pick her up they give us
a uh they give us a ziploc bag and they say uh here's here's uh the lego sandwich here's the lego sandwich she made today
are you freaking joking no and it's just like uh some some like rectangles with dots on them
yeah yeah that's the sesame seeds right that's top layer. This is your daughter and I feel ripped off.
But she did say that she also did Lego that day.
So there was Lego.
Okay, there's actual Lego introduced into this Lego week.
Anyway, and today she had cut up some bananas into the shape of Lego with some some six dots on them oh my god but she did she has been doing
lego since but it's like a couple a few minutes of lego a few minutes of a craft right lego themed
and then you know just go play in the playground a couple minutes of the craft where they have
levitate one lucky camper yeah but on the way to pick her up today i
uh we got some groceries and i got a pack of gum and i was chewing gum when i picked her up and she
said oh is that what kind of gum is that and my kids are obsessed with gum yeah it's the best
everyone knows it they love the idea of bubble gum they can't blow bubbles and a piece of bubble
gum is so big in their little mouth yeah it's like
takes so long for them to like soften it up you remember eating like bubble gum ice cream and
what a crazy trip that was oh yeah ice cream and then like free bubble gum in the middle holy shit
you paid for the whole thing it wasn't free yeah ice cream bubblegum ice cream was always $5 more than regular ice cream.
Yeah.
So I picked her up today, and I was chewing gum, and she said,
what gum is that?
And I said, oh, it's minty gum.
And she knows she likes bubblegum.
She doesn't like minty gum.
Yeah.
But every six months, they'll be like, I want to try minty gum again.
Yeah.
And today, they both to try minty gum again. Yeah. And today,
uh,
they both had some minty gum and they chewed it.
And the looks on their faces,
it's like when you're like,
Oh baby,
like licorice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then you're like,
cause they don't even have minty toothpaste.
They have like,
you know,
berry flavored kid toothpaste.
What the fuck?
Why don't we have berry flavored toothpaste
i know that's like that wouldn't be so hard to make no the adult version my uh two and a half
year olds like will walk around you have to catch her because she'll walk around with like yeah
berry flavored kid toothpaste in her hand just like licking it like off out of the hole out of the hole and so they they had the the
minty gum and i was like you can you know i give them each a piece and i was like you can uh you
know i i have to go downstairs but like uh when you're done just spit it in the garbage yeah it's
it's it's fine uh i know you're not going to like it. And then I came upstairs from working
and I saw that there was like a bowl of ramen out.
Okay.
And I was informed that to get the yucky minty taste
out of their mouth, they wanted some ramen.
So like they're the opposite of people yeah like to get they who use gum to get the taste of something else out of their mouth
i got bad breath i gotta go i gotta eat some ramen yeah i got a big job interview
just eat this garlic on the way in yeah yeah i used to come i did the same thing in
high school what'd you do in high school come home late at night and then eat ramen and they
were like christopher were you drinking and i'd be and i'd go ah with my breath and they go oh
you're just eating ramen one of these late night ramen places yeah yeah he just made a cup of it on the porch
yeah i was eating ramen mom
oh man um well do you like ramen i love it i love it and uh there's a place that i went to last time
i was in vancouver that still sends me emails.
And it's like, I'm not there, man.
But they just want you to check in with, they want you to send an email back, just letting them know.
That's the thing.
I haven't responded yet.
Yeah.
Do you know how to unsubscribe from emails, Chris?
Well, I think I eventually did, but yeah.
I, yeah, I like it too too why did they have your email address
chris what did you why did you give that to them um i ordered a side of chicken karagi like a hot
spicy chicken karagi yeah or maybe it's garage yeah i think it is garage i parked my teeth in the garage um but yeah there was a stipulation
like i had to sign my name and email address over to get because it was so hot
that wasn't really that hot nope not for me dudes yeah chris is a spicy boy yeah yeah it always has my boys where have you
where have you eaten that was too spicy was there like one restaurant that has outdone them all in
terms of like this is so hot well no you know what like i'm not one of those macho spice guys
to be honest like i can have a lot of heat on my food and i i love it it almost
like but it's got to be good spice it's got to be like like ramen and uh you know like indian food
especially like the spices thai food the spice is good like i'm not one of those nice yeah yeah
i'm not one of those you want to hear something crazy i actually filmed a commercial where my
character said the the spice is nice really yeah
years ago i was an elf it was like a christmas commercial i can't even remember what it was for
but i'm serious it was like candy canes it was like 15 years ago yeah i don't remember
honestly that's so funny like a warehouse oh god it's the worst so it's an elf just hanging
on the warehouse the director was fighting with the client like the whole time i
was sitting on camera waiting for them to tell me they got me to change my performance eight
different times oh god the spice is nice um but anyways do you got you get what i'm getting at
like no those guys that do like ghost reapers and carolina reapers yeah yeah yeah like fuck i don't
want to do that that's stupid that sucks
or like even like going beyond suicide wings and being like kill me with their chicken wings like
i'm not that guy yeah i forget what we were talking about what's going on with you uh what
is going on with me oh this uh past weekend i watched uh i, there's more of them, but I watched the first three paranormal activities.
Huh.
Yeah.
Had you ever seen them before?
I saw the first one in the theater when it came out,
which was like 2006 or something.
And were these on Shudder?
No, they were on Netflix.
Oh.
And so.
Has anyone famous come out of these movies, or are they just?
Oh, that's a good question
no i don't think so i think the ghost did some other work in different movies
but yeah no it's like it was people that weren't even using there wasn't a script it was all just
improv and like the director saying like okay this is what has to happen in this scene
but have you seen it have you seen one of them no chris have you seen one of them i i i saw the first one and
the whole time i was watching it i was like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and then when she
gets pulled out of the bed i was like oh help me i can't go to bed ever again yeah exactly
because like the first how long did that last years you didn't go to bed for years yeah well i'm scared to get yanked out of my bed by a ghost and
then if i go swimming jaws will get me no oh yeah that's true they should have called that movie bed
yankers after after this episode of crank anchors we're gonna show you some bed yankers
the we're gonna need a bigger bed so it takes longer to get yanked out of it they should have
called jaws boat yankers they're gonna start a game based on paranormal activity where beds are
like the length of a city block and you get yanked on it for so long and you say we are they yes yes of course um those have long arms but like that the movies are freaky because
at first you're just watching a thing and it's a recording of their bedroom and then a door opens
a little bit and you get free why were they recording their bedroom because somebody broke
in no there was weird stuff happening and the guy wanted to catch something on film so he set up
video cameras around the house you watch those by yourself in the dark uh yeah it was the dark
and uh it was scary and uh i had trouble sleeping but then the next night i did the same thing
i uh scared myself like i don't have you ever done that where like you spooked yourself this
is all you're doing yes and and you're like well now i'm just listening to things creaking and
like that that is such a good point because you're i mean even right now as we talk uh well it's 9 20
here uh so i started talking to you guys somewhere yeah uh i started like talking to you guys at 8 p.m eastern standard time yeah but at seven i was
eating my tofu tacos from freshy and to put on something rando to have on the background while
i ate my dinner i put on it chapter two jesus christ with the goddamn pennywise the clown and yeah he they got they they make him
pretty scary in these new ones and but that but that point you're making is so real where it's
like how can i still be scared when i know that i'm the only one that made something scary happen
in front of my eyes at this moment yeah if i didn't watch a show it would
have been the same world as before yeah exactly and then and you're alone at your parents house
and it's big and there's ghosts here what um every morning you'll pull down a bed
god damn it yeah i get pulled down to it and then uh the ghost goes raisin bran yeah i made coffee yeah
the ghost is wearing a house coat and has curlers in its hair to come full circle what's uh what's
better pennywise the clown or pennywise the skate punk band this is very good well it depends on
what you want accomplished yeah i mean i guess i kind of just want to rock out
oh then you want the original pennywise which is uh tim kerr he's he's the most rocking guy around
yeah he had like all like he had drums bass guitars guitars everything in that sewer yeah
that's how they learned so many kids that's how they learned john ritter and harry anderson in there oh my god yeah oh my god that someone taped that off of tv when i was a kid and they lent me it was
like you needed two vhs's to watch it all and i watched it in my basement in this house that i'm
in right now shit oh my god so yeah and Tim Curry's Pennywise was so scary. But this guy, I forget his name right now.
He's one of the Skarsgårds, I think.
Yes, yeah.
He's doing a great job.
I think that he, as Pennywise, is better than the movies are good.
Right, so he should just strike out on his own.
Yeah, do a solo album.
He should write his own, yeah, yeah pennywise the clown movies and just like
do a one-man show yeah pennywise on the road pennywise joins the army
yeah pennywise in zanzibar pennywise in shanghai yeah sure
um anyways the the third movie isn't as scary as the first anyways pennyways yes uh they uh
but they scared the shit out of me so if you're if you're looking to do that to yourself those
are the movies check them out those are like the boy who's the mastermind behind them like i know
nothing about these movies except that they they're like in like night vision yeah
the guy who directed the first one it was shot in his house because they didn't have any budget
like i think the total budget for it was like fifty thousand dollars and then that's a lot of
money i don't have that but imagine if you could borrow it and then spend it on a movie and it
makes 400 million no i wouldn't spend it on that
i think i have enough to make that movie but then i gotta tell you that movie's gotta do well
and i would probably be micromanaging it to hell and it would fail yeah exactly boy where do you have 50 grand yeah i'm still like trying to picture you scared as shit
trying to go to bed i mean i can feel you on that like yeah i'm a grown man and some of these horror
movies still affect me as badly as they did when i was like 10 or 12 no they do if they do it right
then it like triggers something where you're like oh shit oh i'm triggered i'm
triggered by this i can't do stand-up at colleges anymore is this bro jogan speaking yeah because
everyone's triggered by a big scared the ghost that yanks you out of the bed in paranormal
activity is against cancel culture yeah and he he wants to speak at universities about how he wants to yank
universities out of bed is tim curry the greatest of all time yeah he uh if he just did rocky horror
picture show that would have cemented it but then he continued on as the coolest
the cool and he's still with us he did clue he did pennywise he did that halloween video what
halloween video what halloween video there's this very like uh 80s uh like computer graphics
halloween video uh it's tim curry singing anything can happen on halloween a dog can turn into a cat oh that's fucked up if you saw that on halloween
if you saw a dog turning into a cat yeah you'd be scared shitless um so guys do you want to move on
to a little bit of business let's do it okay can i just say one movie that scared the crap out of
me yeah you as a grown man uh-huh

Eliza Skitter,
Mike Mitchell,
Cristela Alonso,
and special guests
Jean Grey,
Jonathan Colton,
Jesse Thorne,
Nick Weiger,
and a bunch of other cool folks.
We suspect he'll show
signs of mutation
when in a state of excitement.
Now, Annie matched with him

Overheard.
Overheard.
Boy, oh boy.
If you're, you know what?
If you've been blessed with the power of hearing, then you owe it to yourself to overhear what everybody's up to.
And if you've been blessed with the power of sight you're also on the hook to
report things that you've overseen and you know what i'll take an over smelled or an over tasted
yeah and would you name the other one touched have we ever had an over touched over touched
no but if you've yeah if you felt some really nice fabric if you or if you've had the sixth
sense if you've overseen dead people and doing paranormal
activities uh-huh um chris we always like to start with the guest you haven't overheard don't you
yeah and they i always panic at these because i basically walk around outside my house with
my airpods in blasting punk rock into my ears all the time yeah so it's hard to hear stuff but
when i do go into stores i turn it off so i can be aware of my surroundings in the store yeah and
in the liquor store here lcbo in ontario um i was walking past the fancy wine section
walking past it because i already had my bottle of gin you know i'm sure
yeah and uh a woman looking at the wines was also talking on her bluetooth phone and she said uh
yeah like i don't like mom and dad
i'm sure she was talking to her brother or sister or something like that but she's like i've
analyzed all the evidence and it turns out yeah i don't think i mean i love them i just don't like
them yeah i must have missed the follow-up yeah it might have been a trickeroo for sure
yeah seems like yeah it seems like a double sneak but do your kids like you chris i don't know
do they do they try to beat you up they put you in a headlock ever yeah they actually
like they do treat me like i'm a couch like they can just jump all over my body like it's a couch
do you feel like your kids wouldn't need you if you if they could reach things on their own
yeah kind of actually and they've already like like you're a couch one is five so they're already
like turning the tv on and knowing how to find netflix on the tv shit yeah it's crazy
and what are they watching the best of coach yeah basically they're like look at dauber he's smarter
than you dad so is jerry van dyke so is jerry van dyke they're like how come there's
two dumb guys on this show dad and i'm like well that's what all men are like okay girls
but cheers only has one dumb guy yeah well they had a dumb guy and then he passed away and then
they brought in a brand new dumb guy yeah just friends kind of has two dumb guys dad yeah yeah uh and seinfeld were they all they were all
reasonably intelligent right there was no dumb guy on that show yeah kramer was i guess the
played the dumb guy yeah he was he was anti-society yeah and jerry played the genius
i mean i guess i guess if we go through all the shows phoeebe's the anti-masker, Kramer's the anti-masker.
Oh, yeah.
Dauber?
No, I don't know about Dauber.
No, Dauber, he cares about people.
I feel like Coach is the anti-masker.
Yeah.
Well, maybe because he's from a different generation, kind of.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dave, do you have an overheard?
I have an overseen.
This was a brief thing I saw the other day.
I was driving in my car.
Um,
just like cranking up my hammy.
Uh,
just,
uh,
you know,
I live my life one quarter at a time,
one quarter at a time.
You're a laundromat owner.
I actually,
my car is powered.
You got the junk,
you gotta put quarters in.
Somehow they make it though. They, the money ends up in so's pocket uh and we were stopped at a red light and a guy
crossed the street on a warm day carrying half of a watermelon oh yeah with a spoon
and just eat shit eating out of the watermelon like a bowl of cereal holy shit that
guy rules yeah that's breaking all the rules of watermelon as far as i'm concerned i don't know
that he is i think he just figured out watermelon yeah but he's a metal spoon though so he's gonna
have to take care of that all day and make sure it gets home yeah that's right okay uh but a plastic
spoon probably wouldn't get it done no those watermelons are like they're dense and you don't want if if it was yeah if a plastic
spoon could do it then it's probably too soft a watermelon yeah yeah have you guys have you
had any watermelon yet this summer have you had any not a fan no whoa dave doesn't like it that's so that's controversial i don't dislike
it it's just it's i would rather have cantaloupe if we're doing melons and uh really that's whoa
that you're nuts that's a that's a very uh that's very uh do you think cantaloupe is is the uh worst
melon of the three uh yeah anytime that you get cantaloupe you're
like this is just you like honeydew more than cantaloupe oh no honeydew sucks too but cantaloupe
both of them can hit the road what does the melon say to its girlfriend i'm a fun guy
sorry i cantaloupe. My parents are here.
I forgot that there's a good tag on that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can't elope for the following reasons.
My parents are here.
They're stressed. They know something's up.
They keep asking me questions.
They're grilling me.
What are your top summer fruits? Water up at the top strawberries peach and now get all the time no i know but
like the really good ones are in the summer like strawberry like you can't get a good peach all the
time no but here in bc you can get some juicy, juicy peaches. For me, it's cherries.
Too petty.
Well, what do you think of peaches?
They're great.
They got so much flesh going on.
You barely even see that pit.
You see it at the very end.
But cherries, you got it every time.
Every time, yeah.
You've got to pay the cost to be the boss.
Chris, summer fruit.
Summer fruits. Oh oh i love so much
fruits but i really love making a smoothie that's made out of juiced fresh pineapple
banana and strawberries that's delicious that's yeah that's like orange julius brand smoothie
you're doing that's the best that you might not know this about me but i was actually a fruit and veggie juicer
at a vegetarian restaurant here in toronto called fresh for four full years four years where i was
training people how to be a juicer yeah whoa so i know how to make really good juices and uh yeah
we had this really uh uh gourmet chef here called sucer lee graham do you have an overheard i do i do and uh
i apologize to chris but this cannot wait um uh i saw a guy writing at chris lock world on twitter
if you want to hear the rest of this story um i saw two gentlemen riding on their bikes
and having like a conversation like two cyclists will
do it's super loud and everybody can hear it just to get over the sound of bikes in the city and
whatever hot bikes in the city one of the guys said i want to spend more time in the water so
we all have to be comfortable in the water so this is a pep talk i guess he was giving to his family like he's gonna go in the water so everybody better jump yeah it is weird when you're the
only one that jumps in right did they just watch jaws they might have just watched jaws or
paranormal activity there's no pool oh there is a pool in the third one nice pull it off does the
ghost go in the pool and yank people out no but uh they've got like a
little pool cleaner that somehow gets up on the on the dry land by itself you guys ever yank
yourself out no no dave this isn't this kind of podcast remember when dan akroyd got a ghost bj
and ghostbusters hell yeahaced my whole life around it.
And then they made a different movie to ruin my childhood,
but my childhood was great because Dan Aykroyd got a ghost BJ.
And then he made a vodka called Ghost BJ Vodka.
Now, we also have overheard sent in to us from people all over the map.
If you want to send one in, send it to sby at maximumfund.org.
This first one comes from Tori in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
A woman took a deep breath and said to someone else at her table,
I don't know.
I just feel like I won't be able to relax until we're done with this space jam for good.
That's where you're wrong.
You can never let your guard down.
There will always be more space jam.
That's right.
I mean, I am going to see it.
I'm not going to pay to go to the theater, but I am definitely going to watch the new space jam.
Just to punish myself for past wrongs or something i never saw the original no uh wayne
knights in it he plays a ref uh it was it was came out in the like i felt like i was too old i was a
you know a teenager i didn't want to watch cartoon it's also it's weird because michael jordan wasn't
an actor and the first acting gig
he got would have been like the hardest job of any actor just acting to nothing in a green screen
world so like he just did one and he did the hardest one possible and you know what he killed
it so uh maybe he'll have a cameo in the next coming on with lebron james and we hope the tasmanian devil if he's out of prison
in time oh my god graham always does these weird like i love you messages to the tasmanian devil
i got him tattooed on my uh tramp stamp and i gotta ride this out for the rest of my life
um you have him tattooed on your tramp stampzoid. Because you want him to watch himself.
While he's going to town.
Yes.
This is because I love you.
This next one comes from.
Brayden.
I was sitting in a cafe this morning.
There were a group of people.
Sitting around a table behind me.
The topic of applying for jobs comes up, and one of the girls says,
I've been applying for jobs.
My resume is amazing.
I look so good on paper, but then in person, I'm an entire piece of shit.
It's valuable to know that about yourself going into an interview.
I never have thought I look good on a resume me neither
I like I'm like shocked by how many
spelling mistakes are in it
and jobs that I made up that I never had
and on my resume I say I'm an entire
piece of shit
so if you're still interested
read the rest of this resume
I've been a juicer for six years
tell the finisher story yeah yeah
i want to know about this gourmet chef no it's okay
you played that silence like a pro uh so this next one the last one is uh from lisa in tennessee i was walking a trail that has a few
troll sculptures along the path i had just passed one when a man in front of me suddenly stopped
grabbed the woman's arm next to him and said should we take a picture of its feet you know for mom
and the mother quentin tarantino yeah she loves troll feet he loves troll
feet he doesn't discriminate he loves all feet yeah that's why he's the man of the future although
i don't boy i wouldn't know an ugly foot if i saw it like can quinn tarantino tell the difference
between a good foot and a bad foot i don't know
like you know uh like like he puts feet in all his movies but are they beautiful feet and he's
just like a connoisseur yeah i think so they're all pretty good feet like there's no like one
that's missing a toe or bashed in or whatever has like you know weird fat deposits on it or
something like that they're all pretty
smooth they're pretty good looking do you have good feet no no i got like hobbit feet
chris what's your foot situation um i think i have good feet because
i've been with a few chicks that suck on them really hard.
The harder they suck, the better they are.
Yeah.
Calm has come out of my feet.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. Here we go.
