Hi, he's Dave Shumka.
And he's Graham Clark.
And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself.
Woo!
Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 72 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark and joining me as always is the man who is the first guy ever
to point out that Nick Nolte and Gary Busey look somewhat similar, Mr. Dave Shumka.
I don't want to take credit for that, but I kind of felt I was the first guy.
The first guy I knew of.
You should hold on to that.
Sure, sure.
Story for the grandkids.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Next up, Josh Duhamel and Channing Tatum.
I don't think they actually do look that much alike.
No, but you know what?
If anybody else seconds it, you're the first guy who said it.
Right.
Joining us today, a very funny man all the way from Los Angeles,
co-host of the You Look Nice Today podcast, also an inventor
of an iPhone application.
Not THE iPhone applications.
You wouldn't really call it that.
You're not supposed to call it an inventor.
Really? Yeah, something else. Developer?
Developer works. It's fine.
The birdhouse
app. The voice you're hearing is a person named
adam lissagor hey thanks for joining us what's up everybody um i also i think i should call
out that i recognized the gary bucey uh gary bucey and who was the other nick nolte the bucey nolte
similarity early very early on in my life. Like before I was even literate.
Sure.
I think that's a pretty common one, right?
Yeah, big teeth, blonde.
Yeah, but what people don't know is Dave was the first.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
You may think that it was you, but you actually, oh, a big dead man, too.
Yeah, well, thanks for that.
The whole world does.
Then shall we get to know us?
You betcha!
Get to know us? You betcha!
Get to know us!
So, Adam, you're up here in Vancouver, hanging out with friends, enjoying our summer.
No, I'm friends with my family.
They're all nice people.
That's the way to be.
Friends and family, one and the same.
You don't come to Vancouver often, per se, but like a couple times a year uh is that fair to say no once a year once a year i i worked up here for a few months back
um in 2000 i'm gonna say 2006 i worked on a movie here um and i lived here in in the yale town area
of vancouver for three months and i got to know it yeah it's uh it's pretty well
right right pretty well call back sorry please um it's very uh if for people who aren't from
vancouver yale town is kind of our very upper kind of it's like upwardly mobile up but singles
lots of singles and couples but not kids yuppiesuppies. Yuppies, I guess you would say. Definitely yuppies.
Very wealthy.
I was not comfortable there.
No, no, no.
I was not wanted.
But I did...
But you stuck it out anyways?
Yeah, the living situation was extremely comfortable.
Nice places down there.
Really nice place, right on the water.
Great restaurants.
You love boating.
I do.
I really enjoy...
Boating, seafood, whatever.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Brunch. The trifecta. I do, I really enjoy Boating, seafood, whatever Yeah
Brunch
The trifecta
So is anything
You've just been here a couple days
Has anything magnificent happened?
Have you done anything interesting in the city?
Not at all, should I make something up?
No, well yeah, please
I mean if you feel
I don't
How was the flight?
Rough?
If you mean rough as in I was in coach, yes.
Oh, okay.
Have you ever traveled not in coach?
Yeah, only when the job has paid for it, you know?
What's it like?
Have you ever flown not in coach?
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
I once flew Lufthansa class whoa and it was so you
got your boomerang afterwards is that leftanza it was an overnight flight and uh they give you
pajamas not at all is it they give you a a set of pajamas and i i i was the only one who didn't
belong in first class and i i had like this it's so exciting yeah yeah everyone else going to bed
i'm like bring me more food more of everything yeah where is lufthansa from why did i think
it was australia what's the one that's from us the only airline with a perfect no crash record
or something but it was recently the silent you and invisible you. Right, yeah. So it's a phonetic anomaly as well.
Did you say Qantas recently lost their record?
I feel like they accidentally flew into a bird or something.
I blame steroids for breaking all these new records.
By the time we release this podcast, they'll most certainly have crashed.
What if that happens?'s not going to...
Oh, what if that happens?
We're going to be on a list.
So, like, what happens in first class that doesn't happen in Coach?
Like, I know the food's better.
I assume that.
Are there different movies?
No, it's all the same.
It's all the same crap.
It gets every movie ever.
But now they actually, like, the seats recline into beds.
Really?
Wow.
Have you been on a flight like that?
Yeah, I flew, what is it, Singapore Air maybe to Shanghai like a few years ago.
Wow.
And it was just so super luxurious and really nice.
Adam and I are ballers.
Yeah.
I'm just a shot caller, which I'm not even sure what that means.
Have you ever been on an airplane?
I've been on many, almost exclusively in coach.
One time I was bumped up to not coach, but it wasn't first class.
The business?
Yeah, business.
Business is nice, too.
Business was okay, but I feel like I still haven't figured out what first class is all about. It's? Yeah, business. Business is nice too. Business was okay, but I feel like I
still haven't figured out what first class is all about. It's not on every flight. What, first class?
Yeah. It's never been on hardly any of the flights I've ever been on. I fly the Greyhound of the
Skies. Okay. Greyhound. Yeah, Greyhound. The Greyhound of the Skies. My whole life I've heard people refer to it as coach, but no airline calls it coach.
Don't they?
No.
Well, maybe they do.
Because the only times I've ever heard it called coach is from American television.
Yeah.
So I assume that it's an American term.
Yeah.
So you hear a character say, you're flying coach, and then the audience cheers
because they think Craig Dean Nelson is coming in.
They think Craig Dean Nelson is making an appearance.
I usually fly dauber.
It's slow, but friendly.
Isn't that what daubers work?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bill Faggerbacky or something.
Who now is Patrick the Starfish.
Sure.
SpongeBob SquarePants. Really? Good yeah good for him yeah he did all right he's no jerry van dyke that's what uh that's what happens in uh hollywood
city of dreams um so yeah is it do you have plans for anything i know you said you have a uh
isn't a nephew yeah a little nephew my sister's little guy is here. He's 19 months.
So cute.
Did you say he's so cute?
I just think that's a cute age.
Yeah, that was weird.
That's weird.
Anywhere between 13 and 18 months, I'm bound to say so cute.
No, this kid is awesome.
Is he cute?
Super smiley.
Yeah, I mean, I could show you a picture but i'm that would be creepy
because he's already isn't it like a few right yeah no he's pretty awesome he's just super smiley
and today today we went to um the this little water park actually big water park in grant
granville island yeah oh you've been you're familiar god loads of kids loads of
kids only market behind there they have is there a hose the kids spray other yeah it looks like a
fireman yep yep there's a there's three of them that you can that the kids point at each other
and uh everything goes off and all the all the hoses and and fountains and everything go off
and on sporadically so they add it's really smart what they do, whoever designed this water park,
because they add the element of
entropy.
What did you say? So boring.
Surprise. Oh, yeah.
But
the funny thing, if you watch,
if you've ever seen the kids play in that,
is that they're all wet, because they're all in this
pool, and then a kid will spray
another one, and that kid will freak out.
Right?
Because he's like, ah, I'm getting water on me.
New wetness.
Yeah, brand new wetness.
Additional wetness.
Uninvited wetness.
It's very funny.
Yeah, kids do not like the element of surprise, but the entropy.
Now, these hoses, are they before or after broses?
Pauses to take a drink.
Thank you.
Well, I knew the reaction was going to be huge.
There's no need to tag that one.
Dave, what's going on with you, buddy?
Well, my lovely girlfriend, Abby, who is also her own person.
Correct.
She entered this Regis and Kelly contest.
Wait a minute.
Is it a contest where you guys dress up like Regis and Kelly and show how much you love the show?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And there's no prize.
The prize is that you get to express your love for Regis and Kelly.
There's no contest.
It's the natural curve.
No prize, no contest.
In fact, they don't even ask you to send them in.
But, no.
Is Regis still alive?
Yeah, Regis is alive and kicking.
He plays on a soccer team.
Okay.
So, Abby sent in her stuff.
But what is the contest?
Okay, the contest is they spin a wheel.
Okay, they call you up.
Oh, the postcard thing?
But it's not postcards anymore.
You email in your picture.
Oh.
And at the beginning of this contest cycle, they said, send in your picture of when you
first get up in the morning.
Breakfast shows love that kind of stuff yeah
so uh you send it in and then they call you and they show your picture and then they spin a wheel
and they ask you a question about yesterday's episode so abby sent in her picture and she
she records every day's episode and then she watches it at night. And they'll be like, Jim Belushi was on
yesterday. He talked about
his favorite soda. What
was it?
And then his brother
overdosed on what?
His favorite soda.
Also his favorite soda name.
But every day Abby notices that the people that they call,
none of them has sent in a picture of themselves first thing in the morning.
It's all just like, this is me at the Brooklyn Zoo.
I'm hugging a monkey.
It's just their favorite picture of themselves.
But you know why that might be.
I guess nobody wants to see that.
Yeah.
The TV audience doesn't want to see that.
So it's probably just prudence on the part of all the producers of the show.
I think Regis produces it.
I think Regis goes through all the emails.
Right.
What's that guy that sits over on the side?
Gelman.
Gelman.
He produces it, doesn't he?
And Art Moore is below Gelman, apparently.
I don't know what the roles are, but they're all impeccably dressed for behind-the-scenes TV people.
That's true.
It is New York, though, right?
Right.
Isn't that how everybody rolls there?
Oh, yeah.
I saw Confessions of a Shopaholic.
So what you're saying is they're like, we're putting the call out to people that give us their picture of them
waking up first thing in the morning, and they've never followed up on it.
Do you think it was a thing that Kelly wanted to do and Regis was like,
I don't want to do that.
And she's like, well, I'm going to do it anyways on the air.
I don't think they know what they're saying.
Yeah, especially when the words come out of their mouth.
Do they really know what they're talking about?
God, I am so biased against this show.
I know.
I've never watched it once.
Well, no, I thought what you were going to say is, how are we any different?
No, no, not at all.
But yes, we're late in the day, that's how.
Right.
But they...
And broke.
So she's been watching this, and occasionally I'll see a little bit, but usually I leave
the room while she's watching it.
And then yesterday, she was watching, and they did an episode that had people who were
celebrity lookalikes, and they had a Sean Connery lookalike who was wearing a kilt.
Was he bald Sean Connery?
Yeah, old Sean Connery.
Okay, yeah.
Lots of guys like to think they look like him.
They had a Robert De Niro lookalike who was kind of,
it was pretty good.
Was he on the show or these are photos?
No, no, they brought the people onto the show.
They had a Bette Midler who wasn't really Bette Midler.
It was actually Bette Midler.
But she was kind of crazy.
She was probably older than Bette Midler.
She does a spot on what Bette Midler will look like 10 years from now.
She does a good drag Bette Midler.
Do you think Bette Midler ever does that?
Like a drag drag Bette Midler.
Bette Midler dresses up as a man dressed up as Bette Midler.
Yeah, I think she does that.
She probably does that.
In the bathhouses.
Yeah, exactly.
She's huge on the bathhouse circuit.
And then they brought out this guy who was... Already enjoying it.
Who is it?
Like Freddie Prinze Jr. or something?
Who was a Brian Dennehy lookalike.
Wow.
Who looked nothing like Brian Dennehy.
How many parties do you think he books in a year,
being a Brian Dennehy lookalike?
Nearly one.
At Regis.
Brian Dennehy, if I'm not mistaken,
he was the dad in Tommy Boy.
Yeah.
So maybe there's like a Tommy Boy thing,
like similar to the Lebowski Fest or whatever, Tommy Con.
And he does, like they can't get the actual Brian Dana Hays, so they get in the lookalike.
But he doesn't, if you're not going to, like, first of all, Brian Dana Hays is not big enough to have a lookalike.
And second of all, the guy did really look like him.
It was a generic white haired guy.
It's just a guy who's down on his luck. Yeah.
I guess you probably get
aftrophies.
He was in FX. The movie FX,
wasn't he? And maybe FX2, the sequel?
Yes. Didn't he? I feel like that's
probably got a pretty big cult following.
I don't know. I think
he was his generation's Tom Berringer.
That was then turned into a television
show. And a channel. In Canada, I think he was his generation's Tom Berringer. That was then turned into a television show.
And a channel.
In Canada, I think, though.
I think it was a Canadian TV show, The Effects.
Did you ever see it?
It's only like the first half hour.
It's ridiculous.
Of the television show?
No, no, no, the movie.
There was a television show based on the movie.
What's the gist of the movie?
It was, would you like to explain it? Go ahead.
Are you sure?
Yeah, sure.
I've seen the whole
movie so i feel that much more qualified why don't you just jump and then you you finish it okay so
the opening credits roll okay brian dennehy's name comes up sure in fx i think one or both of them is
a is a cop one of them is a cop one is a cop he uh He is part of a special unit that makes robotic clowns.
Yeah.
One is a cop.
One is a special effects technician.
Oh, like in the hard way.
And they were teamed up.
I think the chief may have made the call on that one.
He was originally teamed up with a makeup artist.
That didn't work out.
The chief was like, I'm writing this script.
up with a makeup artist. That didn't work out.
The chief was like, I'm writing this script.
But so like,
yeah, there is a robotic clown in it at one point. I think he fires bullets out of his
mouth. I'm not sure what the robotic clown
does. But this guy
throws off the criminals using
special effects from movies.
Most modern movies do
not want people to like clowns.
Yeah, by and large.
There's very few positive clown movies.
Did I ever tell you about the movie I worked on?
It was like the circus scene, and I was in charge of the extras tent, and it was all clowns.
I may have heard this.
I don't know if our listeners have.
It was all clowns.
They were all professional clowns.
They put out a cattle call, like, calling all clowns, send in the clowns like they were all professional clowns like they put out a cattle call like you know
calling all clowns
send in the clowns
so
they
the clowns
like when they
weren't
clowning and stuff
were standing out
in front of the
the extra tent
smoking
and they were
talking
the hot topic
of conversation
I couldn't
fucking believe it
it was like a gary
larson comic they were all talking about how much they hated stephen king's it
oh yeah it's bad for the profession that's what they were saying they were like ever since that
it we've been quiet we were crawling crawling back i can totally identify with this my dad's
a dentist and and dentists fucking hate it whenever there's a movie about the evil dentist.
Dr. Giggles?
And a number of, let's see,
Little Shop of Horrors. Was there a
Robin Williams one? Or Steve Martin?
There could have, yes.
I think it was called The Dentist, maybe.
Teeth. It was called Teeth.
Oh, you're right. There was one.
Novocaine was it called?
Yes.
And then there was the was one. Novocaine, was it called? Yes. Novocaine. Yeah.
And then there was the other one.
Marathon?
Marathon Man. Marathon Man.
Sure.
These are not good for the profession of dentistry.
No.
But It was not either.
For dentistry?
For anything.
Yeah, for any profession at all.
Except for Tim Curry.
Tim Curry's acting career.
He was the clown yeah
yeah and he but that's the only way maybe a Harry Anderson Harry Anderson I
think was no wait it was like Paul Reiser or something like that is it
possible the Paul Reiser the clown be scarier wait no no no he would go, this clown is scary, not so much.
Paul Reiser.
Author of Couplehood.
And Babyhood, which is not a thing, really.
He just wanted to capitalize on the success of Couplehood.
He's the hood guy. Paul Reiser, the hood guy.
Gray Gray.
Yeah, yeah.
What's going on? Can I get to know you?
Yeah, sure.
Why not?
What is it to know you?
Well, complex.
Here's two things.
And they're not really about...
Well, one of them is about me.
I am realized yesterday.
I went to go see Bruno.
Popular film. Popular film that's out now. Have you to go see Bruno. Popular film.
Popular film.
It's out now.
Have you seen it?
No.
How was it?
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
Go on.
No, it was okay.
Feel free.
Yeah, it was okay.
It was...
The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked.
It's just not true.
Turns out.
Well, how was Bruno?
I feel like a lot of people in the theater really hated it.
The girl that was behind me kept saying, oh, wow.
That was her thing.
Every time that something remotely shocking would come on, she'd go, oh, wow.
Well, I never.
Yeah, so she clearly didn't know what it was going on.
But when I was going into the theater,
there was a poster that correlated with a bus ad that I had seen.
There was a side of the bus had an ad that said,
this is a bus for humans only.
And then it said, Sector 9.
And that's it.
You know how you see those ads that are kind of the ads
where they don't tell you what they're advertising?
The teaser ads.
Yeah, like who gives a shit about that?
I always end up breaking down and going, I've got to find out what the thing is.
So that was the thing, Sector 9, some movie that's coming out.
But I didn't put it in my head.
I only saw that ad on the bus a couple times, and I was like, I'm going to resist it as long as I can.
And this one revealed itself to me naturally, unlike the last one, which was for, I think it was like, I'm going to resist it as long as I can. And this one revealed itself to me naturally,
unlike the last one, which was for, I think it was the,
remember it was a car commercial with people staring in a window
and they were all creepy,
and then it turned out they were staring in a car window.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
It may have been a Canadian commercial.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam's shaking his head.
Not really.
They had these series of really creepy dudes staring at the camera
for like 30 seconds.
There was the guys who, it was like
a horror movie scene.
But he would get
distracted. Before he could kill people, he'd get distracted.
He gets fascinated by the car and he's staring
in the window of the car.
That was only revealed in the second round of commercials.
The first round was just him staring at
you and I was like, I'm not going to look it up.
And then I did.
I went on the internet, and I felt like such a sucker.
I like the ones where it's like a stunt, and they're like,
hey, want to see the rest?
No, thanks.
Go to Redbull.com.
Figure out how this went down.
So I got that off my chest, which was great.
That was a great way.
Oh, it was Sector 9.
Are you going to see it?
What is Sector 9?
Oh, it's good.
It's an animated.
No, it's not animated.
It's not?
No, no.
It looks good.
So it's not animated.
No, it's a big sci-fi deal where the aliens take take over and it's going to be good.
So it's not animated. Oh, shit.
So I only saw the poster.
It really hasn't revealed itself.
No, there's all sorts of intrigue.
I think they're setting it up as the
Cloverfield of 2009.
Maybe 2010 even.
Both. The 118 project.
Was Cloverfield disappointing for you guys?
No, I liked it a lot.
I haven't seen it.
So it remains a possible disappointment,
but it's now been elevated a notch by Adam saying it was good.
Okay, but I brought up the idea of disappointment.
So you...
A little bit disappointed?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The other thing was the other other night you remember how like
uh a while ago we were talking about how like if law and order has a guest star who's famous you
automatically know they're the murderer which one was this uh it was carol burnett so it was like
the whole it was the only half or the only hour of television i had gotten to watch for the past
like four or
five days so i was really kind of trying to savor it and then at one point they knock on the door
and carol burnett answers and i was like ah fuck like it was only five or ten minutes in the whole
episode was ruined she still terrifies me though just because she was i don't know if you guys were
uh of age to watch annie the movie ann, when it was a big children's movie.
I was a boy, though.
I think I was introduced to that movie at the age of
three or something, and she was Miss Hannigan,
the drunk who was presumably
a child abuser,
a swindler, and then
with her partner, Tim Curry, who we had
the second mention,
Tim Curry mention of the show.
Even with Carol Burnett's
shining comedy career
she's a legend
another shining mention
and her
she's something of a Stephen King of comedy
Stephen Queen of comedy
I don't know
Stephen Queen of comedy
she terrifies me
is the point I'm trying to make a little shop of horrors yeah so she
she could go ahead and be a murderer and in a law and order any day didn't she have in that
episode another semi-famous person who was like her uh nephew a matthew lillard? Yeah, it was Matthew Lillard. And that was, when I saw him, I was like, okay, well, I know
that he's the murderer. And I kind of breathed a bit of a sigh
of relief, because I'm like, well, he still might not be. There might be somebody that one-ups
him. Maybe he's the husband of the murderer, but then when she came on,
it pissed me off so much. And it was
SVU, too, so there was like a
molesting element involved yeah um they yeah what they got to do is bring on two
semi-famous people who are roughly the same amount of famous mark ruffalo and a david chokichi
way famous sir um but they did low and a uh no i i forgot i think. A Mark Ruffalo and a...
No, I forgot who I was saying he was.
I think a David Chogachy and a David Charvet.
Who's David Charvet?
He was also on Baywatch.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was the other David C.
They had lockers with their names.
Nice.
Of the actors.
A Nicky Cat.
A Mark Ruffalo and a Nicky Cat.
Nice.
Good, good, good.
Yes. Nicky Cat. I think he has real neck tattoos. actors but a nicky cat a mark ruffalo and a nicky cat maybe oh yeah yeah yes yeah nicky cat i think
he has real neck tattoos yeah really i saw him he's a badass i saw him uh in vancouver once when
i saw the live a mighty wind he was there yeah oh cool i didn't know he wasn't on stage he was uh in the audience i assumed he got
uh comped he was on on parker posey's guest list i didn't see the guest list i'm just these are
assumptions one makes yeah yeah yeah see a nicky the neck tattoo really does does that automatically
put you in the badass uh i would think so yeah or the super... I don't. Do you? No. Dave?
Yeah, you don't have it.
Oh, I have a tattoo.
You don't?
Yeah.
It's a ribbon on your back.
I have a tattoo that asks an important question.
Why? Why not?
Why so serious?
I think it's a timeless question.
Yeah, I don't...
Neck tattoo, go.
I don't know.
I don't know anybody personally that has a neck tattoo,
but I've never met a guy with a neck tattoo
where I felt that I wanted to get to know them.
Like, I feel like it's a very certain breed of person
that has a neck tattoo.
Nobody's ever surprised me.
Like, by having a neck tattoo,
and then being quite
engaging.
Soft spoken. I feel like
if you're Nicky Cat and you have a neck tattoo it's because you were
trying to prove something to yourself.
You're trying to prove that you're not Hollywood or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That you don't really
want to be an actor. It's just they're forcing
it on you. What's the deal with actors
who don't want to be actors?
Because that seems like a thing you
could probably wriggle out of pretty easily they give you ample opportunities to not be an actor
but then when like i don't understand because i mean i don't want to be an actor but i don't
go to auditions the odds of me becoming an actor extremely low the money is so good it's just so enticing that's
probably it i and also being treated like a like a prince yeah i yeah i would i would be an actor
i think i have i've good skills at the skin yeah no that's not the case i got a zit today oh well
they can cover that up in post really good skin uh yeah right it's got a good glow on it. It's sweat.
The extent of my acting is I'm really good at the
made you look sort of thing.
Well, I'm looking
off into the distance and neither of you are turning
because there is no distance.
Although I was tempted to in the back of my head.
I almost caught you.
Next time.
If there's any agents out there, that's my specialty.
That's what your headshot is?
And every time they hold up the headshot, they look over their shoulder?
What is it he's looking at?
He's good.
He's good.
Get him on the phone.
Made you look.
The movie.
Yeah, behind you.
That's the sequel.
So, yeah.
I don't think i've ever been but bruno was like that's the first time i've been in a movie where i think the people that liked it really liked it and the people
that didn't like it did didn't just go uh like i've never seen a movie clear out so fast at the
end of the movie usually there's some lingering people i was the only one still in my seat so
behind you was the oh oh, wow, girl.
Yeah.
What was the, can you get a sense of what does the approval of the movie sound like?
Is it like a raucous guffaw, like a dumb laughter?
Yeah, big guffaws.
Yeah.
Like kind of like just an acknowledgement of like, if I, yeah, if I, this is the type
of thing I've been waiting to see on screen.
It was that kind of style.
And then there was a whole row of, I think, I'm pretty sure they were theater actors.
Because when we got in the theater, we were sitting in the seats in the end,
and then this lady came in and she sat down in the chairs and she said,
Oh, Lance, these chairs are bouncy.
And then she just said that sentence about 18 times.
It was a warm-up exercise.
Yeah, so we got up and moved to the other side of the theater.
Oh, Lance, New York is unique.
Unique is New York.
So, yeah.
But, yeah, and then at one point somebody tried to leave and went out the emergency exit.
Did the siren go off?
No, but he just walked out into the but you could tell that it was an accident because his jacket was still on his seat
oh he didn't come back uh no his friend went out the back with his jacket but uh in the middle of
the movie just like did the kind of the push open so it happened really fast but i could see that
there was sidewalk outside and that was the end of him uh yeah what do you do do you convince the people i bought a ticket but i walked out the
back and they're like no way you're trying to sneak into the last 15 minutes of bruno
we've seen this scam before beat it did you have anything else? Did I talk about Carol Burnett on there?
Yeah.
All right.
You worked it in.
Good.
Let's move on to the oft-
Off-celebrated.
Yeah, never imitated.
Overheard.
Overheard.
All right, overheards.
Things overheard in lineups, in life, restaurants perhaps.
Location, location, location.
It is all about location.
And we usually like to start with a guest. Adam, you have an overheard?
I wouldn't mind. Yeah, mine's not very good. Actually, I've got two. One is a real quickie.
Oh, sure.
They're both, one is at a restaurant.
That is a location
so I was having
a drink with my
dad
we got some take out
and the table
next to us
the waitress goes up
and she says to the table
of guests
how are you folks doing today?
And the man of the party says,
we're good, how are you folks doing today?
And this flusters our young server
and she says, well, you can't call me folks
because I'm only one person.
And then then you know
you ever have you ever overhear one of those
conversations where you're just
after every person speaks
you just say please stop talking
don't don't don't
don't don't don't
okay shut up shut up
so I don't know like I
feel like I have
a particularly low threshold for um for that kind
of thing for just for people saying things when nothing needed to be said especially older people
middle-aged people who don't know the subtlety of not saying right whereas like the the waiter
could have just said i'm fine thank you yeah she could have played it off it's anna with a wink
oh it was a good joke. It was a good joke.
It was a good joke.
We all had fun when he said that.
But then he came back.
She said, no, you don't need to call me folks
because I'm only one person.
And then he said, I'm going to call you folks anyway.
Oh, no.
So there were three more after the thing.
And it became super advantageous.
Was he a single dad?
No, I think there was a lady there.
Maybe he was trying to impress.
Oh, wow. And she's just trying to get the tip. There is nothing
quite, I can say that, there's nothing quite as mortifying as being with
somebody who is hitting on the waitstaff. That is
the most uncomfortable seat to be in.
Even more uncomfortable than the waiter or waitress being hit on is to be the
person who's like, I'm not. I don't. I
wouldn't. If I was just me,
I would just order the thing.
And that would be the end of it. And do you say
something? Well, no. You give a look or
maybe you go, no, I mean.
Exactly. That's all you can say.
No, I mean. No.
You wait for the waitress to leave
and you go, that was weird, right?
No, I've done that before where I've gone up to wherever the waitressing station is and I'm apologizing for my friend.
He's an asshole.
No matter how much he tips you, don't go home with him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If he tips you a lot, it's all he has.
Should we go around and then come back to your other overheard is that the best way
is the other one better no it's far worse oh okay well deliver it now then oh let's get it
oh let's get it over with uh so then we uh we're out later my dad and i again at a bar
father son bar yeah you know vancouver ended up with my dad. And with Mark. His name's Mark.
You guys should know that.
That's kind of cool that you and your dad were hanging out
having dinner and then decided let's go to a bar together.
That's pretty cool.
My mom's at home being grandma with the little one.
And your dad's being
Mark Lissacore DDS.
That's right.
You're really on it.
Well, you said dentist before.
I think that no matter what country you're in, it's DDS.
Yeah, I think there are some other alternatives.
I don't know that well.
Is that doctor of dental surgery?
Might be.
Okay, so we go out to hear some jazz.
We want to go hear some jazz because that's what you do with your dad.
I don't know.
That's what I do with my dad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He likes odd time signatures.
Yeah, that's right. do with my dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He likes odd time signatures. Yeah, that's right.
Exactly. There were no odd time signatures.
Maybe accidentally odd time signatures going on in this bar, but
and so there's, you know, at a
jazz place in
Kitts, which is where I'm staying,
you get
an older crowd, and they're generally
you know, they're older
and they're weathered you
know they just they just live they've lived a lot of life and uh there's there's the older guy
who um you know he's he's making the rounds and saying hi to all the ladies and he's a regular
clearly there's probably his name is doug or something and i just hear d say, I love it!
And I just love that.
When an old guy says, I love it.
Because it's like, I can't say I love it.
No.
Only Doug can.
Only somebody of his generation and waistband height.
And carriage.
Yeah, can say I love it. I love it!
So, Doug loves it.
For me, being old seems like it's a really, like, fun time recreationally.
Because it's all the things I like to do with none of the pressure to do anything more physically active.
Sure.
You know what I mean?
Like, I always feel if I'm not doing something physically active, I ought to be, because someday I won't be able to.
But once those days are effectively behind you,
you're never going to feel that stress again.
It's kind of nice.
Just going, sitting on a bench for three
hours, no stress to go walk
it off or go for a jog. Yeah, totally.
Live it up. It's going to be great.
I'm going to be a great shut-in.
I'm going to have my meals
delivered. Do you have
overheard?
Yeah, I've been going through a real dry spell.
You say that you struck oil in the dark house.
But today, I had two.
I'm only going to tell you one.
Yeah, save it up.
Yeah.
In this economy.
Right, exactly.
I was at the liquor store today,
and I bought these beers that we're drinking.
Delicious. Half of them uh
graham and i go have these for any of you new listeners we're dutch yeah yeah and in our wooden
shoe choices as well and while i was waiting in line this uh old guy uh maybe yeah like mid-60s. Kind of homeless. Certainly rough.
Yeah, odorific.
Yeah.
He had two cheap
six-packs. I don't even know the brand.
Wildcat. Dude Beer.
TNT.
There were red cans.
Ooh. I don't know.
Molson Extra?
I do not know.
He had two six-packs and one tall boy of Tuborg.
Wow, fancy beer.
The Dutch beer?
Danish beer.
Danish beer.
Beer of kings.
Sure.
So he had these two six-packs and the tall boy and he the guy behind him in line
asked him uh oh that's weird that you you only got the one tall boy and he said oh yeah and he
pointed at the two six-packs and he said for me for me and then he pointed at the tall boy and he said for her oh and then it got sad oh for me for me for
her of course she left 20 years ago oh no he didn't say that yes he did oh man that was a
heartbreaking but then i got it went up at the end so i guess i drink hers oh hey yeah he's got
a good sense of humor yeah yeah he's like hawkeye pierce
he can make jokes even in the hardest of times yeah he's like a famous character hawkeye pierce
uh gray gray yeah stop it david i don't like you in that way um do you have an overheard i do it's
not great but i enjoyed watching kind kind of the theatricality of it.
Sell it.
It was when I was walking home two days ago, and I passed by a guy up at the liquor store by my house.
There's a regular – it's not always the same dude that's asking for change, but it's a regular hangout for people who ask for change because there's a liquor store and a bank.
And so it's places where money – Because when people get out of a bank they have pockets full of change yeah yeah exactly um but you know people feel guilty or something i guess when they just take
out you know a hundred dollars from a bank and some guy's like can i have one you know 160th
of what you just took out of that. And they're like, no.
But there was a guy, somebody had tied their dog up outside,
and the guy was talking to the dog.
He was talking to the dog, waiting for responses.
That was just my favorite style of talking to dogs, where he's like, where's your owner?
Well, where is he?
Where is he?
Which one is he?
He tied you up out here i can't believe it and then
the dog started kind of like barking and sniveling and stuff and then he started saying this dog is
crazy you're crazy which i like because he turned it on the dog before the dog could turn it on him
that's what we call projection in the mental health field.
That guy's crazy.
That guy needs help.
What's the difference between sniveling and sniffling?
Sniveling is when you're, please don't punch me.
And sniffling is when you're like, please don't take away my Kleenex.
I think.
That's a great joke. Do we have listener overheard?
We do
Do you want to read some?
Yeah, I have one that I thought was funny
From our regular contributors now
Was it Bobby and Kate?
Yeah
God bless them
Oh, I like them
Alright
This overheard comes from Bobby and Kate? Yeah. God bless them. Oh, I like them. All right.
This overheard comes from Bobby and Kate, who it seems that they get around.
They overhear a lot of stuff.
Eavesdroppers, you might call them.
Yeah, they're busy.
Do you think they're busy, or do you think they're not busy enough?
They should get busy.
Yeah.
What if they play that just before they have sex?
I assume they're a couple, right? They're not brother and sister. What if they play that just before they have sex? If that's like...
I assume they're a couple, right?
They're not brother and sister.
I assumed they were a couple until now.
Play what before?
You saying, now go have sex.
Or whatever you said.
Get busy.
Yeah, get busy.
What if that's their safe word?
Didn't Arsenio Hall used to say that?
Get busy?
Let's get busy.
And then Mike...
His posse would play.
I want to say Mike Wolfe was the leader of his posse.
That's a guy that we know.
Yeah, but it's a very common name.
Yeah, I guess.
All right, this is Kate.
Works at a day camp and overheard the best conversation between two seven-year-old boys uh we were in the middle of playing a game and the two boys were not paying attention at all
instead one boy was doing the splits and the other was crouched down face to face with him
the boy crouching any broken bones the boy doing the splits. No. The boy crouching. Does it hurt? The boy doing the splits.
Maybe a little.
Which I like, because at that age, it still
wouldn't hurt as excruciatingly.
To do the splits. Yeah.
But you wouldn't break a bone doing the splits. You might
dislocate your wiener. Yeah, exactly.
But,
so yeah, I like that.
It had a high, kids say,
the darndest things factor.
There's another one that was an oversaw
but it was pretty involved.
It had to do with a phaser.
Did you read that one?
No, I don't do the reading.
Oh, should I read it then?
I didn't do the required reading.
Is that enough of an appetizer?
There's a phaser involved somehow?
Go ahead. Okay, alright. Is a phaser involved somehow? Go ahead.
Is a phaser the same as a taser?
Yeah. Is it the Star Trek phaser?
Star Trek phaser, yeah.
The kind Eddie Van Halen uses on
Ain't Talkin' About Love.
Which one is that?
The second one that you said?
Okay.
This is Aaron H.
He is
currently living in Toronto, originally from BC.
I was in Vancouver in May.
I got on the C bus at Lonsdale Key in North Van and sat down.
Soon after, a trio of interesting folks sat next to me, two guys and a girl.
The first guy and first girl were classic nerds.
However, it was the second guy that got me truly observant.
He was wearing super tight black Jordache 80 style jeans, a leather trench coat, and work boots.
What caught my attention?
He had a phaser from the original Star Trek on his belt.
He was also acting rather strangely, which didn't strike me as odd quite yet.
Anyhow, we cross over to the terminal in Vancouver and I proceeded towards the Skytrain to head east.
It so happens that this trio of nerd and I proceeded towards the SkyTrain to head east. It so happens
that this trio of nerds is heading in the same
directions. As they walk behind me, I hear them discussing
the new Star Trek movie and it's
becoming clear that they are on their way to
the film. Thus the
phaser? Question mark. Anyhow,
I sit right behind the second guy
with the classic phaser on the SkyTrain. They get
up before me to get off at a
station and an empty mickey of R&R falls out of the phaser nerd's leather trench.
Yes, the nerds got hammered at 3 o'clock p.m. Sunday to go see Star Trek.
Wow.
I thought that's pretty epic that he followed this nerd posse and there was drinking.
Someone say they were a trench coat mafia.
Well, if only one guy wears a trench coat,
is it a mafia? He's the leader, right?
That's true, yeah. If there's only one guy with
a trench coat, he's obvious.
He's Don Trenchcoat.
So, thank
you very much for those sent
in overheards,
etc. Okay, we have some
called in overheards. Now,
I'm a little... I don't quite remember all of these but we kind of uh a lot of them seem to uh straddle a few different segments so these
may be overheards but they also may count as uh neighborhood nicknames oh so like people are just
throwing out wild shit just hoping like if I throw out ten things
they'll pick me for one. Yeah.
But also,
maybe our segments are too similar.
I don't think overhers...
Well, maybe you're right.
Okay.
Let's have a listen to this one.
Hey guys, I'm
living in Toronto.
It's Mike Fly.
My girlfriend just went to London for like seven weeks, Diana Francis,
and I think you guys all know each other, which is awesome.
Needless to say, it's my first night when I went grocery shopping alone,
took the dog with me to the metro,
and I overheard a little kid today in the line standing with his dad say,
Daddy, who's the ugly lady on all those magazines?
And that's the legacy that Michael Jackson leaves behind. Oh, man.
There you go.
Great podcast.
Out of the mouth of babes.
I don't think that's the legacy you left behind.
I don't think so.
That's stopping short of...
There's a generation gap.
Yeah, the magazines, they'll wither and go away.
Yeah.
Garbage.
But Michael will live forever.
Everlasting.
Have you ever seen...
Somebody gave me a stack of old,
from the 70s, old gossip magazines
because they thought I think it was funny or whatever.
And all of the stars in it,
there was all sorts of day-to-day scandals going on
that I had no idea.
It was like, look who Jack Nicholson is with.
But stuff you would never know
because you don't care to know.
And you just kind of see Jack Nicholson as an actor
and kind of maybe his scandals
of bashing a golf club into a car.
What magazines were these?
They were like old.
They're not even around anymore.
Like they're not.
Because it's basically the same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was, yeah.
But there was a time where gossip magazines weren't around because tabloids would have stuff about Tammy Faye Baker but then half of them
would be about Batboy.
Right, yeah, that's true.
Well, People Magazine, well they were
still trying to sell themselves as respectable
at that time. Because they were about people.
Right. I used to read People when I was
a little kid. You had human
interest stories. That's true.
What magazines did you subscribe
to as kids or get as kids?
Oh.
Go ahead.
Boy's Life.
I got one called World, which was like a young version of National Geographic.
Yeah.
Nature magazine.
Yeah.
I got a nature magazine called Ranger Rick.
Okay.
Okay.
And you got Boy's Life, which is also...
Sort of nature-y.y yeah like it's activities but it was mostly to be honest for the catalog of shit you
could buy from the pub tents yeah hovercrafts pub tents and hovercrafts um that should have been the name of the magazine. Also, I had a subscription to Elf Comic Books.
Yeah.
I had a Muppet magazine.
Oh, yeah.
I remember Muppet magazine.
I don't.
Really?
No.
Oh, man.
I had a foldout on my wall that was Crocodile Dundee only with Kermit the Frog.
And they would do one of those a month, if I recall correctly.
Always.
It was always Crocodile Dundee.
It's just different Muppets doing it.
I got my hair cut today.
And they had...
The place I get my hair cut, they have...
It's mostly women's magazines. and a couple men's magazines.
You know, porno.
Sure.
But they had Mad Magazine.
Mad.
Yeah.
Oh, wonderful.
And it was the issue with the Watchmen, the Botchmen.
Oh, yeah, totally the Botchmen.
And there were just little things little things i i didn't
know i would remember like they had um david cook the american idol and he was holding up a previous
issue of mad magazine and he was all angry fake angry about it right right right i forgot about
that yeah it was like and then there was like letters to the editor that seemed to be from
real people but you don't know yeah yeah um is is what do they still have things like i mean clearly they probably mad still
probably has the fold in at the end yeah and back do they still have a spy uh the lighter side
no because that was my favorite they do yeah the lighter side uh they don't still have it with the retro like the guy with the doctor was um they had they showed the old one and uh and then they took the same panels but they put
modern bubbles coming out of their mouth so they would say oh this is what the sketch was like 40
years ago that's kind of clever yeah i like oh and so they updated the language that they were
using is that well no no it was it was like uh completely different subject matter and it would
be like edgier because i uh i'm mad at it i remember always thinking because there were like
only so many setups that they had in that it would be the guy in his underwear at the doctor
the the patient is
Kaputnik
oh was he
who was doctor
I don't know
that was a segment
I was going to propose
at one point
was
just saying what
movies are out now
and what the mad
name of the spoof
would be
yeah okay
of
but Botchman
I wouldn't have come up
with that
that would have been
like an all night
kind of running through things I wouldn't have come up with that. That would have been like an all-night kind of running through things.
I don't know if I would have come up with it that quick.
But in any case, put that on the back burner.
Sure, sure.
Another over-erd.
Hi, it's a podcast myself.
This is Nick Daniel in Chicago.
I have two things for you, a neighborhood nickname and an overseen.
First thing is that my apartment's gym,
there's this guy who's always working out there every day I go,
and after every single rep he goes,
and when I just came back from there and he was wearing a Rebel Pride shirt.
I haven't thought of a nickname for him.
I think I just trust the experts, which are you guys,
see if maybe you can think of something to call him.
Second, I have a tablet PC, and it has a writing recognition program,
so if I write stuff on the screen, it shows up as words and text.
It has this correction thing where i was actually
searching for stop podcasting yourself in the google field and it comes up instead with stop
godfathering yourself so you might get a kick out of that stop godfathering yourself
i love that podcast stop i usually godfather myself in the shower so the guy was asking us
to come up with a nickname for a guy who wears
a rebel pride shirt
and goes
oh he goes
I thought it was two different guys
I think it's the same guy
it wasn't a fart noise that guy was making
it's hard to tell
that guy needs a new phone.
Rebel Pride.
Rebel Pride Parade?
Rebel Pride Parade's not bad.
Yosemite Sam.
Yosemite Sam's good?
I like that.
I think I like Yosemite Sam.
Rebel Pride Parade, if there was two of them working in conjunction together?
Yosemite Sam was a rebel.
I believe so.
He looked like the UNLV running rebels logo.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How about Jerry Tarkanian?
Here's one.
Gentlemen, it's the Minnesota Call You Too Much bumper, KT.
I don't know if this counts as an oversteam or a weird person in your neighborhood,
only I'm going to go with an awesome person in my neighborhood
because I just saw a gentleman about my dad's age,
my dad's in his mid-50s,
rolling through the parking lot of our local grocery store
on the back of a grocery cart, kind of like you
would want to do if you're a little kid.
And he definitely had the expression of a little kid, and he was definitely somebody's
grandpa.
It was great.
I love it.
That was great.
You know what that reminds me of?
That reminds me of a scene in a movie where the guy is bored of his life.
He's in a rut.
And then he's out shopping.
He's just doing something very kind of commonplace.
And that's the first step.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To feel good.
Yeah, right?
It's Robin Williams or Falling Down, maybe.
Yeah, or American Beauty.
Like a remake of Falling Down called Falling Up.
Yeah.
That's kind of...
The Jerry Tartanian story.
And a couple weeks ago,
we asked drunk listeners...
Oh, yeah.
We wanted our number to be your drunk dial number
if you got drunk and felt that you needed to talk to somebody
in the middle of the night to leave us a message.
Yeah, and this is one.
I think it's kind of an overseen, or an overheard.
And a drunk?
I forget.
Hey, how's it going?
So I meant to call you a couple hours ago
when this initially happened and
it was fresh in my mind, but now I'm super wicked wasted. And I know that you guys had
a request for wicked wasted phone calls, so calling you now, I figured like it would be
a good time. Gosh, I got super drunk. Anyway, that's not part of the overheard.
Here's the overheard.
I was on the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria,
and we're waiting for the passenger unload thing,
and there's this little kid,
and he's, like, sitting there, like, staring me straight in the eye while he's doing this little dance.
But the dance involves, like, this little pelvic thrust,
which was, like, kind of cute in this, like, weird little kid kind of dancing
in a weird little kid kind of way.
It was kind of funny.
And then his dad looks over at him and is like,
what the fuck are you doing?
And the kid, like, turns around and is like, ah, he's stuffed.
But I thought it was pretty funny.
I was already laughing at the kid dancing with the little pelvic thrust
that's staring me straight in the eye while doing it.
Like, ah, you're kind of cute.
You're kind of funny.
Dad's just like, what the fuck are you doing?
There's my drunk rendition of an overheard.
Thank you so much.
I really enjoy it.
Yeah.
Thank you for sending in your actual drunk, delightfully drunk overheard.
She was wicked wasted.
Wicked wasted.
If you want to call us with an overheard, the phone number is 206-339-8328, 206-339-TEET.
Or write us at stoppodcastingyourself at gmail.com.
But you just listened.
You saw how much better the calls were.
But you don't get to hear as much of my uninterrupted, dreamy voice
when you hear the calls, so make up
your own mind, listeners.
Here's the thing, that when you were talking about
being at the hair cutters,
and there was porno available...
There was not, actually. But there is
sometimes at... Have you ever been to
a barber where there is... At the real classic places.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, sure.
There's one place I wonder
about.
Which one? It's called Jack.
Yeah, that's right around the corner from my house.
And it do.
Or at least it did.
And they don't cut your hair.
It's like a...
The name implies everything you
need to know. They've got
sports paraphernalia on the wall.
It's like haircutting for men.
Yeah, men with more power.
But on the internet, there was pictures of famous pop singer Lily Allen
had posed in some British magazine topless.
And I was like like how come that seems
very kind of blase thing to do in Britain
but over in America
that would be the shock of the century
if an Ashley Simpson
or Jesse Simpson were topless
in a magazine
don't they have a section in the
London
paper
just for the
oh yeah and uh if you're
like in germany you will see and uh you'll see boobs on the front page of every paper right
yeah it's just so funny like because i saw that today and i was just thinking like do you would
only get that and it would only be like a c-level celebrity that would be doing that and it would be
on the front page like it wouldn't be incidental in a magazine.
Like, oh, here's Lily Allen.
She happens to be not wearing a top in this photo.
No, it would be, here's Ben Stiller's wife from Meet the Parents on the cover of Playboy.
Yeah, exactly.
Terry Polo.
Yes.
Good call.
Do we...
Do we want to pose topless?
Do we have anything else we want to do?
The one thing that a couple people wrote in
about things that I've grown too old for.
Oh, yes.
Which is a segment that has seemingly struck a chord with...
Yeah, it's really picked up steam.
It really was the little segment that could.
Okay, so this last segment
it's a little
segment that started out in earnest
and then it really like
people, it was about earnest.
Yeah.
It started out with me
for anybody who this
is the first time listening to the podcast or didn't hear
those episodes was I was having
a conversation. Is this segment getting so big that it actually needs a theme actually needs it might need a theme song fairly soon okay uh maybe the next week if we keep getting
things then i guarantee a theme song okay um but it was charlie demers and i uh were discussing
how much we love the lion king and then we're like how old was that we assumed that we were
11 or 12 when it came out and then we looked up and we were both teenagers when it came out.
And that's when it dawned on us that that, coupled with some other things, were things that I held on to for too long.
And I'm not talking about things like comic books or video games.
Just weird things that really, you should have been well beyond them.
And yeah, and I wasn't.
And so I put it out there, and we got some things.
We got some listeners.
But you have one, you said.
Oh, I totally got one.
Yeah, I didn't know I was answering to that.
I was going to answer the same.
No, I got one of these two old four things.
I was, because it would be nickelodeon i like i watched way too much uh
nick like friday night snick we didn't have that in canada so you'll have to really this reference
is but totally shows yeah yeah okay so are you familiar with like a well first of all ren and
stampy i mean that was that that's i wasn't, I wasn't too old for that. Nobody's too old for Ren and Stimpy.
No, that's true.
No, it's funny.
Powdered Toast Man?
Sure.
It's still funny.
Oh, I had a...
So, okay, for Christmas that year,
I got a calendar from my parents,
a Ren and Stimpy calendar,
except it was manufactured poorly in China,
and the character transformed into Powered Toast Man.
Completely useless superpower.
Powered Toast Man.
More useful than powdered.
Yeah.
Well, it was the sprinkles that made him great.
Oh.
I didn't know they delved into that.
Yeah, he flew backwards.
I wasn't familiar with the delving.
But that was the thing was random snippy you
were too old for no it was like the secret of mount secret alex mac right oh yes right larissa
olenek oh you're familiar yeah we're both familiar okay oh yeah i like um her her last name seemed very comforting to me. Olenek, yeah.
It seemed very Eastern Bloc.
Olenek Kaputnik.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. I thought 10 Things I Hate About You was going to be her big break, but it was her swan song.
It didn't happen for her.
Yeah.
But she'll always be right there in my heart, pointing to my heart.
Cutie patootie.
Interesting.

i forget she's american pie mina savari we're not gonna you know we'll just let's forget let's
forget it shannon elizabeth we're gonna forget it. But yeah, we got one from David S.
Specifically, this is the first time
that we've ever had somebody specifically say
please don't say my last name
because he's very embarrassed.
Maybe his last name is Shumka.
It could be.
It's David Shumka.
A few years ago, I went to see the Tigger movie.
I had free movie pass.
It was a hot summer day, and there was AC.
I cried at the Tigger movie.
Please, please, for the love of God, do not mention my last name on the air.
And when the lights came up, I realized I was the only adult in the theater
who wasn't under duress there because some ankle biter had dragged them into it.
Wow.
What did that...
We're the only time I've noticed this.
So, yeah, the Tigger movie.
Realizing that you found it...
Did you guys cry at the Tigger movie?
I've...
You know what?
I found it trite.
Yeah, yeah.
Saw the ending coming a mile away.
A little on the nose.
Anything else? So this is... Andrew L. Yeah, saw the ending coming a mile away. A little on the nose. Anything else?
So this is Andrew L. says,
I am a huge Transformers fan,
and in the wake of the shit-tastic Revenge of the Fallen,
I went and downloaded all of the Beast Wars series
and the Justice League of America series.
I am 23 and cried two times in the first season of Justice League of America.
This segment is turning into, what did you cry at?
I think if you cry
at a thing,
and you're too old to be crying at that
thing, that well falls within the
parameters.
There's no reason a 23-year-old should be
crying at Justice League of America, but it hit him.
It hit him on the right
some part of his soul.
I think I
remembered something I cried about.
Because we talked about, after I saw Up,
we talked about the last thing we cried at.
Did you see Up? Yeah, and I cried like a baby.
Man, oh man, that is a cry-tacular film.
Sure.
I think the thing previous I cried at,
I said it was Forrest Gump,
but it may have been the Ricky Gervais
movie Ghost Town on a plane.
Really?
I think I fought it off, but I was very able to cry at that.
Wow.
Man, when you said Ricky Gervais, I thought you were going to say the Christmas special that followed the series extras.
Yeah, totally cried at that, yeah.
Because that extras thing,
I saw it at,
because it takes place around Christmas time, and I saw it
around Christmas time, and
I was devastated.
So sad.
But I don't cry, though.
I think I have a problem. See Ghost Town. Emotionally.
You've got to see Ghost Town. I've seen Ghost Town.
I didn't cry at it. It is a weeper.
I don't think it is a weeper. No, I don't think so.
I think you're the only person who cried at that movie.
Yeah, you may be cracking the mold on that one.
Maybe I was on the plane and I had an allergic reaction.
Were you holding an oxygen mask over your face?
Were you afraid you were going to die?
It was going down, yeah.
I cried on the plane on the way to Vancouver, actually.
Did you?
Yeah.
During a movie?
Season 4, Episode 4 of The Wire. Oh, really? Yeah. What happens on that one? cougar actually did you yeah during a movie uh season four episode four of the wire oh really
