Starting point is 00:01:51 Alicia, before we start in on things, I was just wondering if you could tell me, is Hank a good boy? Hank is such a good boy. He's just getting better and better each year. He's going to be six in October. What? I know. For anyone not familiar, Hank is a small dog. Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:10 And who lives in Alicia's house. Yes. And he's scared of his bed. So he's just sometimes. So he'll just stand there. And he's been standing there since we started chatting for 17 minutes. He looks like that looks like a very comfortable place to be lying down if you are a dog it's a very lovely bed and he's gotten used to it for the most part but every once in a
Starting point is 00:02:32 while he gets scared of it again and what are the top five things he's scared of okay those are that's a great question thank you um because i have a dog who's a scared question. Thank you. That's a good question. Because I have a dog who's a scaredy person as well. So inside the house, he is afraid of his baby gate. Okay. It's just like Watergate, but for babies. Yeah. Baby gate.
Starting point is 00:03:00 He hates that. Oh, the money. If it falls down, he's petrified. Oh, yeah. Right, yeah. He's the kind of dog that acts brave when he's scared so he barks and growls um he was scared of every single dog in the building for a long time but now he's friends with all of them including the golden retriever next door who's pretty goofy what's the golden retriever's name olive olive. Olive. And there's a dog that I've seen at your place more than once. Beautiful, beautiful dog, but scared of everything, it seems. Reggie.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Reggie. Reggie. The 100-pound dog that's scared of everything. Yeah. So Hank has three friends in the building that are dogs, and they're all complete weirdos. And there's Ross, named after Ross from Friends, who's like 12 or 13-year-old terrier mix that looks like a breakfast sausage that got rolled in some lint.
Starting point is 00:03:50 He's the leader of the pack. Then there's Reggie, giant Ridgeback. The only other person in the building besides his owners that he likes is me, and it took him like six months, but I'm pretty good with dogs, but he won't let anyone else pet him except me. And he's got firmly, his tail is always tucked between his legs when you see him yeah yeah when I see him it's riding high oh wow oh nice you get you get a good view of the
Starting point is 00:04:15 hindquarters not really actually Hank gets right up in there though yeah good for him smelling what he wants to smell and then there's olive the golden retriever is there anything that uh you think hank would be afraid of that hank is surprisingly brave about hmm because because we had a dog for many years grandpa who is not afraid of anything except fireworks oh yeah and he's so afraid of fireworks, even on TV. Fireworks would send grandpa under the bed for days. I remember. Yeah, and it was debilitating.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Monster, our new dog, afraid of people, afraid of dogs, afraid of, you know, the wrong silhouette. But, like, surprisingly doesn't care about fireworks. We have construction next door. We were just walking around. We were going for a walk and like this super loud buzzsaw went off and freaked me out and the dog didn't care. Interesting. Hank hates all of those things. Nail guns.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Oh, Monster loves nail guns. Fireworks. We're going to get him one. He's really afraid of water and he's like a water dog hank is well you've seen him at the beach he just barks the whole time that's right he just barks at the ocean that's true doesn't even really like to get his paws wet he does like to get his paws wet like he plays in a baby pool okay okay he's a cool kid anyways thank you for asking he's not particularly brave but he's amazing at the vet He's in a baby pool. Okay. Okay, okay. He's a pool kid. Anyways, thank you for asking.
Starting point is 00:05:49 He's not particularly brave, but he's amazing at the vet. Yeah, that's right. And the groomer. He's a really good dog, and he doesn't... The groomer likes Hank. This is the same groomer you've been going to for a long time? Yeah. Groomer likes... Hards of sweet barbers, you know?
Starting point is 00:06:02 A lot of times you think, oh, this groomer really likes me but it's kind of like when you think this strip is this stripper into me yeah or it's like the grooming that you know uh drake does where you're like he's slowly oh you know come on guys it's just something that's out there i'm just you know trying to make it funny or or just bring it up and not make it trying so alicia well you were last on the show a while ago what's new you know uh lots of things are new and exciting in my life but i don't want to talk about them on the podcast things are new and exciting in my life but i don't want to talk about them on the podcast um yeah like i still do my own podcast and still complain about nightmares that's called retail
Starting point is 00:06:54 nightmares i'm my comedy shows on hiatus uh i think i might start writing another book really yeah um what kind of book uh nude just nude pictures of dicks it's a coffee table pictures coffee table drawings of dicks that i'm gonna do oh it's drawings not photos uh just drawings okay what's your style are they like great uh are they photorealistic are they cartoonish do they have everything a little bit of everything you haven't tried yet well i mean i draw dicks a lot we both okay we all know that but like do you draw like you know how at like uh the friars club that has a bunch of pictures on the wall of the diners that go there frequently but they're caricatures yeah would you know how to draw like bob hope's penis or something like that
Starting point is 00:07:49 would you at least give it a try i would give it a try i mean i could guess like it would be really funny to just do one yes guessing what people's penises would look like oh yeah i could play that game for days yeah what do you think kevin bacon's penis is like i think do you really want me to answer yes why would i ask the? Do you listeners want to hear this answer, you think? Well, now that I've posed the question. What do you think, listeners? Oh, I heard them. They went, yes, we do. We will tell us what Kevin Bacon's dick looks like.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I think it's pretty big. Yeah? I think it's pretty big, and I think it's got a weird kind of... I think it goes more to one side than the other and might have a little bit of a kink near the top. Wrong. It looks like a piece of bacon. Oh. See, I didn't want to answer this.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I knew I would be wrong. This is all part of the process. Yeah, yeah. It would be like a little lightning bolt dick. Because it's like jaggedy. Yeah. But yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet he's been naked in something and I could have just Googled it and answered you.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Yeah, he's been naked in something. My dreams. Yeah. Love that guy. Is Kevin Bacon, he's like Adam Driver, right? They're in the same class of people who are like, they're attractive, but very unconventionally so. Or would you not put those two together? I wouldn't put Adam Driver in the same bucket as Kevin
Starting point is 00:09:11 Bacon. You like to keep them in separate buckets. Yeah, I want to keep them in buckets. You heard it here first, and the police will hear it next. I want to keep them in buckets um dave did you look up kevin bacon's penis yeah uh google images has given me too much to work with i i don't know what i'm seeing there's yeah there's a lot of this isn't him right yeah that's true the internet really has done some good business with
Starting point is 00:09:46 photoshop of wieners and what not Alicia are you looking up Kevin Bacon's penis I can't say the law won't let you say I don't want to click on any of these links no none of these
Starting point is 00:10:04 I see him nude but i don't i and i see penises but i don't they're not him there's like both kinds of pictures penises and kevin bacon i've done it in all caps uh see if that changes my luck here oh yeah that's not him with him at the awards show with his dick just hanging out that can't be right oh wow oh my gosh no why did i seen some seen some things that i can't unsee uh hollow man well he's invisible in that one but you can imagine yeah and that's what i mean i just want to to imagine. Yeah. I really want to see. If you did a second book, for real, for real, would you do more essays?
Starting point is 00:10:51 Yeah, more funny essays. Yeah. Yeah. The other ones were pretty funny, right? Your last book was great. Thank you. Yeah, if people out there haven't heard of the book or got a chance to look at the book, it's great. It's bunch of essays some funny some sad yeah it's called so you're a little sad and that's that's fine with me i'm alicia and let's buy the buy my book um i also get people still buy your book is it still
Starting point is 00:11:18 out in circulation no it's sold out i'm not convinced graham's finished the book It's always sold out. I'm not convinced Graham's finished the book. I have to finish the book. That's very rude. Did he buy it? No, you gave me a copy. I think I gave him a copy. I always buy the book.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I think you already bought one before I could give you one day. Exactly. It's very sweet. Because then I don't have to read it. That's true. Less pressure. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah, that's the trade-off. And the other thing I've decided is I want to learn how to refinish furniture. So in my small apartment, I have a giant desk that I bought off the Facebook marketplace. Did not get a deal on it necessarily. And I still have to send and refinish it. But I'm thinking of doing some stuff like that. Have you done that before? No, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:12:04 I've worked a very long time ago in a store that sold furniture and we would do finishes on them, like special paint jobs. And I really love that. Yeah. But I myself have quite a few pieces of mid-century furniture and I'd like to learn how to repair them so I can maintain them. And I also just need something to do sure so it's is it is it just as simple as you sand you get sandpaper and you sand off the old color and then you paint paint new color on it yeah i think in some cases for sure this one i think will be pretty straightforward but um there's all these things that i'm learning like you can't
Starting point is 00:12:46 just sand off certain finishes and I think that there's a polyurethane finish on this so I think I may have to strip it and then sand it and then refinish it what does stripping mean? I use some nice music strip it off
Starting point is 00:13:01 yeah it's like the movie Good Teeth I lose a lot of weight but i got really big breast implants is that uh demi it was demi more and burr reynolds no burr reynolds yes ranty quaid i never saw that one i saw showgirls i tried to watch showgirls a few weeks ago okay by myself it was unwatchable it's kind of a hard tried to watch Showgirls a few weeks ago. Okay. By myself. It was unwatchable. It's kind of a hard thing to watch by yourself.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Yeah, it was my mistake. Yeah, you need somebody to kind of crack jokes with. I could never have anticipated how bad it is and how difficult it is to follow, the lack of character development or story. Yeah, I mean. Weird sexy dancing? The weird sexy dancing. Also, there's a couple sex scenes that are... I mean, I don't know how they came up with...
Starting point is 00:13:52 It's like aliens trying to be like, this is how humans have sex. Yeah, they have sex in a pool with water drowning her. Yeah, drowning her and she just flops around. Yeah. I... That was Elizabeth Berkeley starring as Nomi Malone
Starting point is 00:14:08 and she that was supposed to be her big breakout from Saved by the Bell. That was pretty much not that didn't work out. And I that movie kind of tainted like Kyle McLaughlin and Gina Gershon for me as
Starting point is 00:14:23 well. I can see why. I was surprised to see Kyle MacLachlan there. Yeah? Yeah, I always thought of him as more of like an indie film. But this is that I feel like he kind of gives the movies a little bit of indie credibility. But I also think that Showgirls is an indie movie. I don't think like a big studio put out Showgirls. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I don't know anything about the production. No, it's Disneyney it was disney yeah it's on disney plus that's right they locked it away in the disney vault and nobody would ever crack it and there's a you know what like a lot of those disney movies there's some hidden sex in it that's right yeah is that a thing about disney movies but there's sex? There's rumors that swirl around that there's images implanted or drawn in tiny detail in different cartoon Disney films that are naughty. Why? Because the animators are horny old men. Yeah, yeah. They got to get their rocks off.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Yeah. So, I mean, was it a lion king or something you sit on dandelions and it goes up in the air and it supposedly said sex and uh there's supposed to be a scene where you see i don't know the guy from aladdin laden i guess his name is um aladdin uh apparently you see his wiener at one point this is this kind of thing that uh yeah yeah i don't i find that hard to believe it seems to be more in the realm of shrek porn shrek porn is very hot this yeah very very everyone's talking about shrek porn this time of year yeah speaking of uh cartoon characters who are in uh a lot of porno. Go on.
Starting point is 00:16:08 I saw Sonic the Hedgehog 2 this week. Oh, that's right. He is in a lot of porno. It's at the XXX Theater here in town. Actually, maybe he's not in porno, but he's like there's pregnant Sonics depicted in a lot of fan art. Oh. So he's had sex. What?
Starting point is 00:16:22 It's like a genre of fan art. It's pregnant Sonic the Hedge sex. What? It's like a genre of fan art. It's pregnant Sonic the Hedgehog. Really? You were so quick to Google Kevin Bacon's penis. I wasn't that quick. You were much quicker. Pregnant Sonic?
Starting point is 00:16:41 Oh, yeah. So cute. Oh, it's way better than I could have thought. I don't know anything about Sonic the Hedgehog. How did you find this? It's, you know, been bubbling under. It's in the underground.
Starting point is 00:16:59 What? Oh, wow. Maybe I should see this Sonic 2. Well, it's not in the theater anymore. It was only only two weeks um and you uh like alicia if you could see any cartoon in the nude and you can't say you know somebody that's already in the nude like fritz the cat you can't say him uh did anybody ever see fritz the Cat? those cartoons made me feel filthy they're like grimy
Starting point is 00:17:27 grimy 72 that's Crumb I like him in print form but those cartoons hard to watch Alicia are you still looking up pregnant Sonic the Hedgehog? no
Starting point is 00:17:42 Alicia answer the question if you could see any cartoon Pregnant Sonic Hedgehog. No. Alicia, answer the question. If you could see any cartoon naked. I'm trying to imagine, like, one. And I'm sure that there is one. I'm just drawing a blank. Maybe that Robin Hood from Disney that's the fox. I think that would be a lot of people's answers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Oh, sure. Yeah. Oh, sure. Yeah. A big, a big sexual touchstone for women of our generation. Yeah. And Dave and I's was, was showgirls.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I remember when I was a kid, there was Jessica Rabbit was in, who framed Roger Rabbit. And she was practically, she was a very horny character for a kid's movie she only had one eye yeah that's true yeah just like peter falk and uh she the the then a couple years later a movie called cool world came out that's right yeah uh starring brad pitt and kim Starring Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger. I don't know. As a character named Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Hollywood, that's right. If she could. Yeah, that was the tagline. Hollywood, if she could. Maybe her name was just Holly. And I watched it thinking like, well, clearly if Roger Rabbit was for kids, this is for adults. And we'll see a little something. And we never did.
Starting point is 00:19:02 No. And it's just as well. I mean, you know, the fact that there's fan art out there, you don't have to be alone in your ideas of what Sonic Pregnant would look like. Yeah. Quite cute. Quite cute. So that's kind of what I've been up to.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Like, really boring shit like you've been watching you watch a lot of uh high quality uh television you stream you've seen some shows what's your what's your favorite that you've streamed you told me to watch the magnificent gemstones because there's a lot of penises in that i think it's the righteous. No, it's the Magnificent Diamonds. Yeah, I watched that. It's my favorite show of the year, for sure. Yeah. Also, my dad came to visit, and we watched both seasons in one weekend.
Starting point is 00:19:57 You streamed with your pops? Yeah, we streamed with my pops. We laughed really hard. I'm currently watching Selling Sunset, so I i'm not really picky is that a netflix one it's a netflix one about a beverly hills real estate yeah it's really not good that's a reality show yeah the plastic surgery is wild yeah yeah why now here's a question like a very sincere question is why do people continually get the same bad plastic surgery? Because it feels like it's, you know, when it's bad and it's people seem to still get that bad too tight. Does it just like, look, I think everyone's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Yeah. No matter what you say. And like, I've had work done. You wouldn't know it because I go, my guy's so good. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And he, you know, he leaves a lot of stuff looking bad. So, you know, so it's like, is he? He takes bits from the bad area, puts them in the good area.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there is that weird face that's like, well, it's not. But there is that weird face that's like, well, it's not. You didn't get younger or better looking. You got this generic plastic surgery face. Yeah, like Mickey Rourke is somebody that I think of as having the very like puffy but pulled back kind of face. Most of the people on this show are like under 35. So what they're fighting i think i'm assuming and that in hollywood and beverly hills there's a standard that it's not too much but if
Starting point is 00:21:36 you saw it like in vancouver at the grocery store you might say like okay that's that's a lot of botox or that's a lot of filler i'm gonna put away all this food it's put me off of having a meal yeah i just think it's a beauty standard that's us cultural like a cultural phenomenon isn't that interesting you shut your little face no no go on yeah so but it is sometimes it's a bit alarming when somebody that i don't think can actually close their mouth when they're eating like a baby bird yeah what do you think graham and i should have done okay yeah um let me just think and feel free to use a laser pointer on our bodies yeah just. Just keep circling like your crotches over and over again.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Making direct eye contact. This is the zone. This is the zone, fellas. Enhance. Okay. I think, Dave, you should get like a really nice butt. Okay. There's actually someone in my neighborhood that has like a crazy butt.
Starting point is 00:22:43 And I just respect this butt so much. Whenever I put it above my current butt, below my current butt. Just directly on top of it. Oh, okay. Yeah. Like a hat.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Like you'll have to buy bigger pants than have them all brought in at the waist. Yeah. You'll have to buy bigger pants. Oh, okay. So I don't just take my current pants and have the, I guess I can't make the seat any bigger on regular.
Starting point is 00:23:06 It'll give you extra seat fabric. And Graham, you should get calf implants. So you'll never ever be able to find pants again. Yes. Always have to wear cargo shorts. Are you, do you have trouble already getting your calves into pants? Yes. Pants and I have a very special
Starting point is 00:23:26 relationship and uh just like bill clinton and tony blair exactly the same um yeah so uh pants are hard you know the wider that they are stretchier that they are i love it but sometimes then they're too loose around the waist and butt starts falling out sometimes. Which, you know what? If it does, enjoy the view is what I say. Yeah. I got no problems with it. But the police don't say that.
Starting point is 00:23:56 The police say you're under arrest. Yeah, they say, come over here. You again, they say. What did we tell you last time, they say. Yeah. How about... say what did we tell you last time they say um yeah how about uh hmm who's the celebrity with the best plastic surgery i would say jennifer aniston is my guess she looks great she has looks like she hasn't aged a day i think that's probably some pretty good work hmm not like i'm not saying that you're wrong okay but i know that recently i've just thought like fuck that person has got great work and i just can't think of who it was is it simon cowell
Starting point is 00:24:34 yes i mean also the woman from friends the other one courtney cox courtney cox our cat yeah yeah yeah, she stole an Arquette even though they got divorced. She kept the name. Do you remember that one episode of Friends where everyone was like, Matt LeBlanc, Arquette, and in the opening credits they did that? That's fun. And I also, like, after 9-11, there were several episodes where they were all wearing, like, NYPD and F you know,
Starting point is 00:25:05 fire fireman t-shirts. And then there was a drawing also twin towers on that little Etch-a-Sketch thing that was on Joey and Chandler's door. Really? Yeah. It's the first kind of whatever the season would have been. That was kind of like came out exactly. That show should not have gone past 9-11 that show
Starting point is 00:25:25 should have ended it's weird when a show goes from one decade to the other especially when the decade is marked by like the a huge historical event yeah but like they never bring it up but obviously they went through it if yeah if it's canon but they yeah it's weird but obviously they went through it, if it's canon. But yeah, it is weird that they lived in New York. They all went through it. They probably lost friends. Yeah. I never watched the show, really. And I didn't realize that it was still being made during that time.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Yeah. Wow. Not much longer after that. I think it went off the air in 2003 or 2002. But here's my theory. All the friends killed in 9-11. And it's just Gunther's dream the rest of the season. It's something that he's dreaming.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Oh, sure. I wanted to say, I think Martha Stewart's had really good work done. Yes. Oh, yeah. She looks great. She is great. Martha Stewartart now that she's hanging out with snoop dogg that's true but she went to jail which is pretty cool i think we can all agree yeah it's pretty good for your skin that's where she had it all done but it was just in a fight and
Starting point is 00:26:40 it just had like incredible results like just reverse well like they do prison tattoos they should do prison plastic surgery yeah yeah like they just put an orange in under your skin or whatever kind of things they can collect from the cafeteria yeah sure it's the bruno they just inject you with bruno we don't talk about bruno bruno why don't they sell that in stores? We're all curious about it. I think, yeah. I wonder why they don't sell toilet wine. If you go on YouTube, I bet you can learn how to make your own.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Yeah, for sure. Should we make some this summer? Like a sun tea? Yes! Yes, finally! The tank on my toilet is super cold, so it's like it's ready to go. The tank on my toilet is, I'm sure, like, one of the, it's probably the original toilet in this building. And I opened it up one day because I'm like, oh, like, I wonder if, like, something happened, if this water is truly drinkable. And I just immediately closed it. I will never open it again.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Why were you pondering drinking your toilet water? I don't know. Oh, was Hank getting in there? No, he's not tall enough. He's not tall enough, which is great. I don't know why. I think I was curious, or maybe I had to open it to jiggle that little ball thing in it. You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:27:59 Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, it's the second half of your new book. Jiggling the ball. Yeah, and then I just closed it've it's just not good in there um yeah but i mean in an emergency we would all drink the toilet water right if we didn't have any other well when my dad came to visit he brought me um huge five gallon uh water containers in case there's some sort of gallon uh water containers in case there's some sort of natural disaster so you brought these up from america yeah along with like a month or maybe even like three months worth of dehydrated food i would just rather die i know he did not think that was funny because he's like well what's your
Starting point is 00:28:39 plan i was like my plan was not surviving yeah, I don't want to eat powdered eggs. Come on. You know me better than that. Yeah, I don't know what to do with these tossed salad and powdered eggs. They're calling it again. Powdered eggs all over my face. What is a boy to do? I love it when he does that.
Starting point is 00:29:02 He's so cute. Yeah, the... We should do a bonus episode where we make pruno and drink it yeah i do that with you guys so whether you just do fruit in a plastic bag put her in the toilet wait until it ferments i don't think it has to be in the toilet because we're not hiding it from anybody but but like we want to do the we want to make it authentic well i guess we can use that. But also is this cultural appropriation? Prison cultural appropriation? It might be. But did we ever
Starting point is 00:29:31 discuss the possibility of a prison themed restaurant? What would it be like? I think every table would be in a cell and the hostess and the waiting staff would be dressed like uh prison guards yeah and you get you get to put on a stripey shirt everybody that comes in you can bring your own
Starting point is 00:29:52 but they'll have ones for you to put on i have plenty thank you very much yeah exactly we have a house stripey shirt and then you take your picture taken behind some bars right and do they do a mug is it like a mug shot yeah. Right. And do they do a mug? Is it like a mug shot? Yeah, they do a mug shot. They do a mug shot. But also you have your hands on bars. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:30:12 And then, you know, the food's all authentic to prison. So, you know, whatever. Bread, water. Yeah. Bread, water. Bruno. Did I see the Bruno list? Garcon.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Garcon. I have a better idea for your theme. Here we go. So, you know those escape rooms? Yeah. So, it's more of an adventure-based dining experience. Or like those dark restaurants where you go and you just eat food in the dark. Yeah, there's one.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I want to go to one. There's one in town. I thought the food is good. I don't care. I would just like it to be a hot dog, and then I get mustard all over my... But you don't know that it's a hot dog? You're eating it like a cob of corn, and then the lights go on, and you're like, what the... I think that it, firstly, in prison, people, I think, according to television, eat in one big room.
Starting point is 00:31:02 And there's different gangs you have to avoid. You have to always watch your back. And it could be like a, you know what? This is not very sensitive. I got too far into it before I realized how shitty it was. And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Yeah, no, fair enough. I'm like reliving like a television show. Not of course, the lives of millions of people that don't deserve to be in jail. I apologize to Lister.
Starting point is 00:31:28 What we're talking about is like Oz. Yeah, I was like, you know. Or Paddington 2. Yeah, yeah, these are the different acceptable films. I would love to go to a Paddington 2 prison-themed restaurant. Oh, shit, that would be amazing. Marmalade on everything. Marmalade everything.
Starting point is 00:31:43 You wear pink stripy pajamas. That is pretty good. They must have this somewhere. They must do like... Some bogus pop-up shop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They must do some kind of prison. What about a restaurant, teen restaurant,
Starting point is 00:32:00 that's like an airport? So, like, you go into it and then... That's the way we have it. It's called Red Robin. Every time I go to Red Robin, it's like here airport. So like you go into it. That's the way we have it. It's called Red Robin. Every time I go to Red Robin, it's like you're, which is often. When was the last time you were at Red Robin? Two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Shut up. Really? Probably go once a month. Even in the Pandy? Yeah. Like not the first year of the Pandy, but maybe the second year of the Pandy, I go every couple of months.
Starting point is 00:32:23 For sure. And what is your go- months for sure what do you order what do you i never know what to order i always order something that i don't 100 like the last time who do you go with my friend sarah hadar she lives nearby um if she gets injured like say someone takes out her knees will you go with me i will go with uh dave like if i like it's been we've been friends for like 15 years almost let's take this friendship to the red robin level have we never been to one no i don't think so we've talked about it um love red robin yeah me too and i will never stop going i usually just get a burger they have a bot depending on your server they have bottomless rides and drinks
Starting point is 00:33:06 I'm going to be bottomless when I get the wrong plastic surgery where they take part of your butt away well there's two weeks where we take your butt away and before we put the new butt on you have two weeks where you're bottomless it needs your butt to be the medium for more butt
Starting point is 00:33:23 that's right we kind of grow your new butt on your old butt then we medium for more butt that's right we gotta grow your new butt on your old butt then we take it off and we stitch it back on okay so if either of you could have a pop-up shop uh-huh what do you think it would be like if there's just one thing like this kind of curated little shop that you'd love to have for you know a couple of months because of a cheap retail space i don't know how pop-up shops work oh i would like to do just uh you know how they do nuit blanche where everyone yes everyone has to everyone has to wear dine en blanc is that what it's called i think it's dine en blanc i think you're right but i thought you said
Starting point is 00:33:57 nuit instead of i said nuit yes i did i did gave it an extra syllable i like it uh but that's a different thing that's like a winter festival uh dine en blanc where people wear white and they go to some some uh location and they bring their own food and wine i would like to just have and also it's very it seems very elitist and very like exclusive i walked by one one night when he's getting off the train i walked by tim hortons and i was like oh i'm going to grab a grab a donut and the some of the dinner white dinner folk were in there asking why the toilet like why is somebody taking so long the toilet they were not buying anything they were just in there to use the toilet i don't know how those employees didn't splash coffee all over their dumb white outfits i don't know how they restrained themselves but uh those people yeah that would be my pop-up
Starting point is 00:34:51 is you gotta wear all white and have a smug smile and then here's the foods like chili dogs and you have to bring no you have to bring your own food yeah okay so you're basically you just have a room that you've invited people to with a very it's also an escape room too and you can't get all denet en blanc it's an escape room yeah an escape room that everything that you solve has a different part of the meal that seems that's a chamber de chat oh i just meant that i would have to just get the fuck out of there as quickly as possible i do not want to spend any time with these monsters. What would yours be? What would be your pop-up restaurant?
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yeah. Or shop. It would just be a shop, I think, of like vintage jeans and boots and expensive furniture. Okay. And when people would ask me how much things were, I'd be like, I don't know. What do you,
Starting point is 00:35:48 what were you willing to pay? What do you think is the best era of jeans? Is there, they change all the time. These jeans, what's in and what's out. What's your timeless, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:35:58 Dungarees. Yes. That's what my grandfather called them. Dungarees. Yeah. Wow. That's a good question. I would say like, it depends.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Like if you like a work wear look, then that could go back like and touch on like several decades, even back in the late 1800s. Back when people used to work. But I actually think one of the best times was like the return of the high rise skinny was like probably. High rise skinny. Yeah. When was that? The early yeah when was that the early 2000s yeah early 2000s uh i also like a straight leg broad denim look yeah timeless yeah how about you i mean i know what you you're like a genko gene is that what it's called i like that yeah i like um i go to blue notes or such there are still blue notes
Starting point is 00:36:44 by the way yeah that's right no i go to blue notes i such. There are still Blue Notes, by the way. Yeah, that's where I go. I go to Blue Notes. I say, what's new? And they point me in the direction of the new hot pants. Not hot pants, but the most popular pants. You know what I was looking at was at the start of the pandemic, I was like, working from home all the time,
Starting point is 00:37:02 I wanted to find a hoodie that didn't have a hood. Oh. Because I was like, a little sweater. So like just a crew neck sweatshirt? But it was zip up. Okay. Yeah. I know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Which is harder to find. I found one I liked, but then I realized what I really wanted, what I really fell in love with was long sleeve t-shirts. Oh. No, like not a Henley button or anything, just a straight crew neck long sleeve. No, just straight t-shirts. And like not like a henley button or anything just a straight no just straight t-shirts and uh i became very particular i need them to have a cuff like an elastic cuff yeah uh i can't have it loosey-goosey um and then i i love if it has like a contrast cuff oh wow what does that mean like a kid's pajama yeah basically there's a dinosaur on the front. We're like, Dave, those are kids' pajamas.
Starting point is 00:37:46 The cuff is a different color than the rest of the t-shirt. Oh, kind of like long-sleeve baseball kind of shirt. That must be very nice for layering. But only the cuff, not the whole sleeve. Excellent. And then I discovered recently, oh, I'm thinking of the undershirts that hockey players used to wear in the 90s. Oh, interesting. They're made by Stanfields.
Starting point is 00:38:11 They're light blue with a dark blue cuff and collar. And we stan Stanfield. I was going to say I stan Stanfield. In the 90s, they had the best t-shirts. And irreplaceable. Absolutely the best era for t-shirts. The 90s, they had the best t-shirts. And irreplaceable. Absolutely the best era for t-shirts. The 90s? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Man, I talked about it on the podcast a while ago, but there was a t-shirt fair that I went to, and I can't believe I had the exact t-shirt that they were selling for 500 bucks. I had the Wayne's World t-shirt. I was like, what the fuck? But you saw it. No one's buying it. I bought it, Dave. That's my way of telling you.
Starting point is 00:38:49 I'm broke. I thought it's too tight. They wouldn't let me try it on. Yeah, everyone, you've got to support us at MaximumFun.org. Graham is in t-shirt debt. Now, I feel like this is great because both of you have an appreciation for, you know, if you really love something, I know you would spend the money.
Starting point is 00:39:12 So Graham, is there like one article of clothing that you would just, you would not think twice about buying? If I could find a really nice, like part of like the vest of a three-piece suit. Who are you? Abdul Aziz? Yeah, I'm just going to wear that. No, I'm going to wear a suit, but with a nice, like, that would be a nice suit for me to wear. You could just buy a suit, three-piece suit. Yeah, I guess I could. Yeah, you could just start there.
Starting point is 00:39:39 That exists. Problem solved. How about you, Dave? Is there something? I was looking. Well, the thing is, I wouldn't spare any expense because I was looking on Etsy for vintage cowichan sweaters with like hockey stuff on them. But I found some good ones, but I'm not spending $500, especially, you know, look, the weather's
Starting point is 00:40:01 getting nicer. This is the wrong time to search. Yeah. Or is the right time because you're getting last year's, you know, look, the weather's getting nicer. This is the wrong time to search. Yeah. Or is it the right time? Because you're getting last year's, you know, warm stuff. Like I buy all my bathing suits in the winter. How many do I own? I'm glad you asked.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I own 16 different pairs of swim trunks. Never go to the beach. Never go to the pool. You go to the beach now that you are in a relationship. But not for splash and splashing i'll go for a walk but i'm not getting a romance yeah you get there to get a little bit of sand in your foreskin um i would buy a hat from this hat company called rambling rose oh that's good i could even you know there's she makes them by hand i don't know anyone that can afford one but they're all exquisite and i don't even know that i'm a hat person but i continue to
Starting point is 00:40:55 try to buy them to for skin and like coverage but you do your skin coverage you you are i've seen you in hats and you're yeah i think i can them off, but I don't feel comfortable or confident. Maybe the other thing I would really love is like a beautiful emerald green silk dress. Okay. Something you could wear to anything sort of dressy. Have you ever seen the movie Atonement? I don't know. Keira Knightley?ley anyways there's a
Starting point is 00:41:26 dress she wears in it that it's the first thing i thought of when you said oh yeah silk it's uh it's so pretty that movie is so sad but the dress come for the sadness what's it about is it about the like when she atones no like you know spoiler, if anybody doesn't want to know what it is, but it's about a guy who's in love with Keira Knightley and her little sister has a crush on the guy and she sets him up. She sets him up and says, like, he touched me. He's a bad man.
Starting point is 00:42:01 And he gets, like, excommunicated from the family. And then it kind of follows and she and then it kind of follows his life and then it follows her life as she tries to atone for that action yeah why did I never watch that what was the one there was a what was the Mads
Starting point is 00:42:18 Mikkelsen movie that was similar about oh yeah that's right there is another false accusation yeah that sucks why put yourself through what well because you know you see karen eiley in that dress and you're like well maybe there's an award ceremony coming up and it never happens i can get that dress for two thousand dollars on etsy okay really not a dress that i can wear though because i'm not a person that can't not wear a bra but it it is beautiful. I'm thinking more like
Starting point is 00:42:46 a boat neck. Sure. Something that you can wear a few bras underneath. Five to six. Have a small man holding them. Which I wouldn't mind. I do stan a short king.

All weddings. So, but then the next day, we went to see Sing To. Oh. Electric Boogaloo. Every two is Boogaloo with you.

Starting point is 00:52:07 And I assumed The kind of guests we can get He's got like a line But no he's got a few scenes He goes up against Taron Egerton Good luck But when he was on our show, he confronted me about Toblerone bars.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Yes. Apparently, at one point, I said they weren't nice. I have since revisited Toblerone bars, and I will say they're fine. They're nothing. They're not special. There's a million better bars. You're no longer carrying a grudge. You're ready to heal.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Well, I might be angering him. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, like, you've upgraded them to fine. They're, whatever. Like, I don't think I ever need to get another one. I can see them not being your thing. Which one do you think is less, a lesser holiday treat? Those are Ferrero Rochers.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Ferrero Rochers are freaking fantastic, dude. Yeah. I never had, they got nuts in them. They've got everything. Toblerones are just like pretty good chocolate with some kind of toffee nutty thing in them, which is, you know, I would rather have good chocolate with like give me a big chunk of hazelnut or almonds or whatever sure it's like such a small amount that if you it's the perfect size of nugget or brittle whatever's in there that gets right into
Starting point is 00:53:39 your molars yeah yes like perfectly sized like so you don't enjoy it as much as you would if it was a normal it's it's absolute molar bait uh that taffy that's molar bait absolutely love these topics next topic uh i think we maybe said this but a couple weeks ago people were gobsmacked that we didn't know what crab Rangoon is. That's right. We still don't. I don't remember listening to that episode, but it's not really a thing here,
Starting point is 00:54:11 apparently. And there's also a movie called beyond Rangoon. Yeah. With Patricia Arquette. Yeah. Which I always get, I get that mixed up with broke down palace, Kate Beckinsale and Claire Dane and hell yeah hell yeah was that the one
Starting point is 00:54:26 where they were in uh prison yeah they were in prison like oh boy not on this side of rangoon no yeah over on the other side of rangoon yeah what you want to do is you want to head towards rangoon what if you if you reach rangoon keep going uh next topic a few weeks ago i talked about how there was a big chip fight i could not get lays chips at shoppers drug mart right they're back but i need to stop drink i need to stop eating chips i didn't i never ate chips before the pandemic no why that's very common i never bought chips but i never really bought chips either, but when I do, I always love it. I always think it's the best. But yeah, it's something I could do without.
Starting point is 00:55:12 But then when I see them, if they're in the vicinity, I can't get enough of them. That's the. That's a problem. I like just a regular. I like a regular ripple. What's your going to do? Yeah, plain. Just plain, regular ripple.
Starting point is 00:55:24 I like all dressed abby likes these buffalo blue cheese ones from president's choice um but do you like a plain one with a dip a plain ripple needs a dip no no no i i don't i just go in for the most basic i want to appreciate the chip for the chip i I don't need to fancy it up any. Yeah, most basic. No surprises there. Alicia, what's your chip of choice? It depends. I like Cheezys, which I know don't quite count.
Starting point is 00:55:55 They count. It's in the same section. A puffy Cheesy, not a Hawkins, which I think are delicious, but they're too flavorful. And I like a low-sodium plain. Sodium plain. Perfect. Who makes that? I think Lay's has a pretty good one.
Starting point is 00:56:10 One of the reasons I like them is that the dog likes them as well. Nice. Oh, sure. It's hard to get a dog to eat chips. He sometimes does, and he sometimes doesn't. Sometimes he saves one for a couple of hours, and then he eats it. He's very polite when you give him a chip. What's Hank's favorite human food?
Starting point is 00:56:27 Meat. Meat or cheese. Yeah. And he really likes eggs. But he had green beans yesterday. He ate like four green beans. Wow. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:56:37 That's good. Was that a toot factory? Yeah, he's not much of, luckily he's not much of a tooter. Yeah. yeah he's not much luckily he's not much of a tutor yeah i remember grandpa used to go ape for uh for uh dairy queen soft serve oh oh right yeah i buy hank his own ice cream okay it's just a pint of coconut bliss plain so when when I'm eating ice cream, he doesn't feel puffed out. It's a real interesting world in this apartment with the two of us. The other, I was also going to ask you, what do you get at Dairy Queen?
Starting point is 00:57:18 No, I know the answer. Peter, buzz your butterfly. What do you get at Red Robin? Oh, yeah. Usually a burger, but it varies. i haven't found like my favorite i think i just like the plain cheeseburger best do you go do they have a gluten-free bun they like they have like a whole allergen program oh really so it's i can eat there and say i have a gluten allergy and then they take it super seriously yeah they don't give you the jerk off a gluten allergy. And then they take it super seriously. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:47 They don't give you the jerk off motion. Yeah. Do you wish I would take it super seriously? No, I love the amount of seriousness you give my health conditions. That's cool. Gives me humble. Next topic. A few weeks ago, Graham, you were talking about how there's a ban on plastic bags in Vancouver.
Starting point is 00:58:08 That's right. But they're the perfect bags to be just the liner of your dustbin. Yes. What are we? And that was the word I used, was dustbin. Dustbin. I said when the governor comes around, I make sure the dustbin is out by the lorry. Yeah, park life uh what is the word uh like
Starting point is 00:58:28 your garbage can i know what's the one i'm thinking of that you haven't like uh you throw paper into oh just like yeah uh office yeah basket maybe waste basket maybe could be paper Basket, maybe. Waste basket. No. Maybe. Could be. Paper. Yeah. Anyway, so did this, have you been, you thought about like trying to bribe a store employee to get, because they must have extras back. They just made it illegal to give them away, but they're there. They got to be there. Yeah. Where are you?
Starting point is 00:59:04 Any update on that i um i was in calgary uh and i loaded up there i gotta like you know what do you mean you just went grocery shopping no i just like everybody's got bags at their house and they were more than happy to just give me all their plastic bags so yeah so i've got all those plastic bags and uh i know we used to just like there was a place you could go to recycle your plastic bags before and we used to do that and we or we're kicking ourselves yeah yeah exactly so now we get like any like bread bag from the store we hold on to yeah any um like i went when we went to edmonton a couple weeks ago i was like oh they have like a laundry bag in the closet of the hotel oh shit can i tell you my one story about
Starting point is 00:59:54 going yeah uh this plastic bag i forgot about so i went to shoppers drug mart and i didn't i forgot to bring a bag with me but but I had a bunch of things. So what I did was, they have these bags that you can put your umbrella in while you walk around the store. They stay dry. I used that. I put this tiniest stuff at the bottom and slowly built it out like a pyramid. You bought a bunch of eggs? One egg.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I was there when this happened. I couldn't really quite believe it was happening like first you're like oh this is such a great idea and then you hold up this narrow triangular shaped bag but you're also carrying a giant box of cereal and i'm like that's not gonna fit you're like you just wait well we live very close to a drugstore and i always forget my bags and i just like load up my coat yeah i'm for that as well but it just it was one of those inspired moments where it's just a flash of genius you just have to go with it you know yeah you're like greg kinnear inventing the intermittent windshield wiper. Yes, yeah. Or the girl Jennifer Lawrence inventing a mop.
Starting point is 01:01:10 The mop, yeah. Joy, your joy. The other topic, this is sort of related to that. So I use, this is kind of a retail nightmare. You'll enjoy this, Alicia, if you ever invite me back on your show. I, in this city, you, they only collect garbage once a week, but they collect your yard trimmings and food waste. Oh, they collect garbage every two weeks and your yard trimmings and food waste every week. So they encourage you, put all your organics in a green bin and they'll pick it up every week. Right.
Starting point is 01:01:51 And we usually, what we've been doing for years is we just get paper like lunch bags, like you would bring to school as a kid. And we fill those up. They fill up in like a day because we don't want to have a big bag of old whatever yeah stuff that just like gets stinkier the longer it's out on the counter i see i'm in the opposite boat i love it but i don't know if it's the supply chain or what, but for like three weeks, you could not get any paper bags in the city. Any paper, just like small lunch bags. You could get the like fancy, expensive, organic food bags. Yeah. But we just wanted the regular ones.
Starting point is 01:02:39 And we were going, we went to every grocery store, every drug store. Canadian Tire's website said they had them, but they weren't there when we went there. And then, you know, Abby finally bought some today. The story didn't have an end. I was just thinking, I wonder if I have any I can give you guys. In the future, a good place to find those, dollar stores. Mm-hmm. You can find them at dollar stores.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Also, if you just want a single can of pop, dollar stores. They always have a little fridge and you can buy one can of pop. And because if you don't want a plastic bottle that you gotta... I won't go to a dollar store. I'm too... I love throwing my money away. I only go to $500
Starting point is 01:03:19 stores. I get these... It only shops at Fendi. Yeah. I want to get one of these rambling rose hats for the elitist eyeing um uh so that's those are all my topics okay but i do have one other thing that happened to me this week so we it was a four-day weekend for the kids first day we went to sonic the hedgehog two second Is that through two hours of that? It's true, it's two hours. He's pregnant.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Yeah, that's what I've heard. He's pregnant. He's not showing in that one. Okay, okay. The next day we went to see Sing 2. The next day we went to, it was Easter Sunday, Cirque du Soleil. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Holy shit. What a great weekend for a kid. Yeah, that's like the type of weekend you would have if you had relatives coming in from out of town. Like, let's do all the things. Cirque du Soleil, we had been there once before with Margot, and we loved it. And it was so good, and the clown was great, and it was a water-themed one. And it was also, it was a water themed one and it was also it was a mexico themed one too like it was put on by tourism mexico so they had like every act that came out had something to do with mexico there was like a guy who just did soccer ball tricks there was
Starting point is 01:04:37 like a jungly one there was i don't know uh aztecs yeah then there was a danny trejo paper mache danny trejo yeah sure and danny trejo busted out of it yeah he busts out he juggled a machete yeah he says he tells kids to stay on the straight and narrow that's a big thing to him because he was in jail um anyway yes uh was cirque de so lame this one was not as good oh shit um it was allegria i don't i don't know if you know the story of allegria well there's a madman and it seems that he's captured the allegria and the rest of the show it's taking place in his mind oh wow doesn't seem did the kids get it? Did the girls get it? I don't know if I got it, but it was a lot. There was no showstopper.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Okay. But it was like, everything was really good and really fun. I think I bought the tickets back in december and i was like oh the oh they say the pandemic will be over by april so let's get some tickets yeah i was really excited but i think we can take a few years off from the circus i don't like uh cirque de soleil but it's it's not that it isn't good is that i don't enjoy it the way other people do like it makes me feel uncomfortable me too it makes me other people do. Like it makes me feel uncomfortable. Me too. It makes me feel scared for the people.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Yeah. Makes me feel like when you put your finger in your belly button and it kind of sick for a second. Yeah. It's like that the whole show for me. Um, uh, and both times I've gone there, I've been sitting around people who like know a lot about Cirque du Soleil
Starting point is 01:06:26 right which is weird right they were all dressed like their favorite clown but that's it that's the top place if you're like a circus person used to be Ringling Brothers now it's Barnum Bailey yeah you only had to do one thing
Starting point is 01:06:48 like high wire walking well i feel like in circuit to do a lot of different i think all these people do like it's it seems very egalitarian like you go out and you do your bit but then you're also in the ensemble when you're like doing transitioning between scenes. Right. But they're very fit. The circus people. They will fit. Yeah, they will fit.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Anyway, you guys have any circus aspirations? What's the most circusy thing you can do? I can lift those big barbellbells the big round guys okay lift it up over my head and i can eat i can eat a whole party sub if you stay long enough i'll eat it there was a guy there was someone on the vancouver subreddit uh there's two the two my two favorite things i've ever seen on the van subreddit. One, the city just catalogs every tree in the city. Oh, I didn't know that. Every, on city-owned property.
Starting point is 01:07:52 So like all the boulevards, all through the city. You go to this website and it tells you the species of every tree, how long it's been there. I did not know that. Yeah. uh i did not know that yeah and then the other thing uh someone was a person who said hey where can i get like a really like a six foot party sub in the city but not individual pieces of bread like a six foot long piece of bread yeah and in my mind i'm like yeah where can you do that and then the comments are like those don't exist there there's you need giant ovens and i was like my whole dream just collapsed
Starting point is 01:08:29 i would never have thought about the oven yeah i think that there's probably an industrial oven that would cook yeah a six foot a six foot skinny loaf well like you know like if you think about a crematorium, that's gotta be at least six feet long. I'm never not. Yeah. That's gotta be at least six feet. I love that one up, uh,
Starting point is 01:08:52 on Fraser that has the temperature on it. It's telling you the outside temperature, but I'm always like, what temperature are you telling us about? Oh yeah, sure. Like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:09:02 we're, uh, cremating people and pets, but also do you want like a big focaccia i mean you can look at our board of what we offer here but yuck um anyway so what's going on with you well like yourself i went to go see a film and uh it's a film called the batman and it's you know it's robert pattinson this hunky hunky jawline and this is the first time he's played any anything related to a bat or anything spooky you know he hasn't been anything spooky except this. Okay. It is funny because his Bruce Wayne, it's very emo. Like all the other Bruce Wayans are like, playboy out on the town.
Starting point is 01:09:52 His is kind of sulky. He has like a combed down, hair in his eyes kind of look. And the thing that I thought was hilarious about the Batman. I told you yesterday when I saw you that my favorite thing about it is that it's the title is what like an old lady would call it you're gonna go see the batman what an old lady would call batman so it uh in the movie like a lot of all the other movies batman's kind of like in the dark and then he pops out and he fights bad guys and then he goes back to the dark this batman is hanging out all over the place he's walking
Starting point is 01:10:29 through crime scenes where people are collecting uh all the kind of evidence he just walks through because usually batman would show up he would do the thing and then the cops show up and batman's already taken care of yeah all the criminals are tied up this guy he just walks in and he's already taken care of. Yeah, all the criminals are tied up. This guy, he just walks in and he's just hanging out there and all the cops are like, oh, this guy. He's got one of those Greek New York cups of coffee.
Starting point is 01:10:53 He's got a party swab. He's trying to make friends. And so, yeah, it's funny that he hangs out. And then there's a thing in the movie. This is a spoiler, so just zip forward if you don't want to hear it. Okay. Can we?
Starting point is 01:11:08 Yeah. I haven't seen it. And I was planning on seeing it. Were you planning on seeing it? Yeah, of course. Okay. I won't tell you that thing. But it is funny that he walks around.
Starting point is 01:11:16 And it's funny that they call the guy the Riddler. They don't do that usually in these like more grimy greasy dark well don't they in the Christian Bale ones they called the Joker the Joker yeah but he's the Joker you know what I mean who else are you going to call that guy I thought that guy was called the Riddler
Starting point is 01:11:37 but it sounds too silly right anyways I went and saw it and then the very next day it was free on Crave so oh it's free now yeah yeah yeah if you got it on crave all right but it's very long right it's like a sonic and a half it's a sonic and a half and you know what a lot of people are doing robert pattinson pregnant uh fan art oh i would like to see that him in his batman suit with a nice now um you say that most batmans are in the dark yeah do they do i would like to see a movie where one of the batman where batman goes to one of those dark
Starting point is 01:12:12 restaurants eats a hot dog like a copacorn gets mustard all over the place and like this is the first time i and i never thought of this ever before is that batman in his bat cave would be covered in bat shit because there's bats everywhere it only occurred to me when i was watching it this time are there always does every bat cave have bats or do they just call the bat cave because like everything he has is branded there's always a scene where they like, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, fly away. Yeah, exactly. Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee. You're like this little piggy. Bats are not really scary animals.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Well. Yeah. Wait till they shit all over you. Because I think like they carry rabies. Have you ever met a bat? No, I haven't. I saw one. Like here.
Starting point is 01:13:02 Yeah. It was very small. When we were in Palm springs over spring break there were every night they were flying around oh wow oh that's so cool um and then once when we were when i was a kid when we went on vacation in like idaho or oregon a bat got in our cabin and my dad had to catch it with a pillowcase. That's stressful. And then he just tossed the whole thing out the door or he just let him go? No, then he dipped it in
Starting point is 01:13:29 warm water and made bad tea. Guano tea. But the other thing about going to this movie, like you were saying when you went to see a film, you can pick where you're sitting. So then the idea, I think think is to be away from people somebody picked the seat right next to mine come on guys come on what the what the f but then she was getting the food she was ordering the food
Starting point is 01:13:57 that comes to the theater that's like not very fragrant smell yeah what else can you wait did she ordered the food yeah she like they have this was like a theater oh they delivered i didn't realize you were a very important person yes very important podcaster yeah exactly um but yeah so what did she get something greasy um do you think this is going to be the summer of corn absolutely are you kidding me i'm going
Starting point is 01:14:31 to go i'm going to listen to nothing but corn i'm going to eat as much corn as i can possibly how much corn do you usually eat every summer cob wise as much as i
Starting point is 01:14:38 can handle count count cobs i will count cobs this summer i can't have it i'm counting like i i love corn on the cob but i think i maybe eat six cobs a summer yeah i was gonna say between six and twelve depending on how readily available it is i think i'm 12 and up is uh do you do you cook it yourself sometimes yeah but
Starting point is 01:14:59 also just go out of my way to do you have a gigantic pot yeah okay yeah yeah oh no borrowed object oh sure from from gargamel yeah from gargamel he was making some gargamel's cat when i was a kid azrael yeah um the uh do you go to the store and uh shuck it in the store? I shuck at home. It feels rude to do it in the store. Well, they have, some stores have like an area for you to shuck. That's true. I usually shuck at home.
Starting point is 01:15:36 The shuck shack. I'm too shy to shuck in public. Yeah, it's probably for the best. Because people will see your shuck technique and they'll be like, oh, she shucks like that. Well, she fucks like that. It's not wrong and it's not great um a lot of really good questions yeah well batman a good film like batman will will uh make you it'll prompt a lot of these good questions good discussions yes yeah yeah i love it uh have you ever had like mexican street corn that has all like the lovely toppings on and stuff i've
Starting point is 01:16:11 never had it it looks so good it's amazing like it is it's kind of like a thing that you're like why haven't i been eating it this way my whole life yeah yeah it's it's amazing probably one of the top carnival foods i'll just eat a can of corn cold.

Starting point is 01:29:45 That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah,, emerald. Oh. That's pretty good. Yeah, lots of spoilers in there. That's true. So there was one of these Cirque du Soleil know-it-alls behind me. Okay. At Cirque du Soleil. And there was a guy with a woman. He was mansplaining Cirque de Soleil to her and uh he said um or um like he was pointing out that because there's a intermission in the middle
Starting point is 01:30:15 he's pointing out the things that had changed in the set and there was like there had been a big wheel that a guy just rolled around on. One of those big. Yeah. Like, like when you've got a sword lower back, like you just kind of like did a foam roller. Yeah. A guy just came and went back there.
Starting point is 01:30:33 That's his thing. He goes back to the chorus. And then afterwards he's like, that feels better. It feels better. Yeah. And there had been this big apparatus above that disappeared and they lowered down these weird kind of like spheres that were metal that had like grips on them. And, uh, the woman said, uh, what do you think those things are?
Starting point is 01:30:56 And the know-it-all said, well, they're attached to cords. So I imagine they'd be used for something acrobatic. It was like, no shit, dude. Everything here is. I think it's probably circus related. Do you think that they were a couple on a date? New, old, or relationship? Friends?
Starting point is 01:31:20 I think, yeah. You know, friends with benefits. Oh, does that still happen? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The benefits are usually tickets to the circus. Yeah, or if you have a long enough term friend, then benefits from their work. Oh, sure, yeah. Right, fraud.

Can you do that if you have, like, insurance if you're just like well i'm never you look i i know i'm a lifelong single person but you know what i like i'd like fred to have uh yeah you know invisalign why not i feel like if you're willing to pay for it they should just give it to you yeah exactly just give it to you this is alicia tobin on your side everybody should have that kind of coverage it's fucked up and it is fucked up um my overheard glad you asked i'm so sorry but i'm not the overheard oh no no i guess i'm kind of the host um hey graham do you have an overheard yes i do thank
