I just got back from Mexico and you can't even tell.
Do you know?

So I like the beach and stuff, but I'll find a shade.
I'll sleep underneath a towel or two.

I'm like...
Really?
Yeah.
It goes out with that tin thing that you hold under your neck.
God, I love that.
Gotta get my turkey neck all done up.
He wears those little suntan glasses.
I'm jealous.
When people can luxuriate in the sun, I simply despise them.
No, I'm joking.
I hate it.
Oh, you hate it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like sunny days.
Everyone does.
Yeah.
But, you know, I'm like, me outside is like a dog in a hot car.
It's like, don't make them stay there.
Don't leave them
too long yeah oh but you're just running into the liquor store i can leave dave out
someone breaks the window saves them yeah is there i couldn't possibly be anyone with the
last name mcgunnigal who likes the sun no i, I think that's like, yeah. No, absolutely not. Where are you from
originally, Stacey McGonagall?
Well, I'm from a little town called Alliston,
Ontario, and it
is a little potato town. In fact, we have a
potato festival.
This is great. This is good.
Yes. You know, this is where I met my first
boyfriend at the Fireman's Dance.
Whoa!
This is amazing.
This is like the beginning of a stephen king story i thought it was like you know a taylor swift song but no i guess you're better
yeah no it did end up with me at the fireman's dance i found drink tickets on the ground um and
i bought too many mike's hard lemonades i did end up barfing at the KFC Tim Hortons.
Oh, you had a KFC Tim Hortons.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the fireman's dance was during the potato festival?
Yeah, so that's like a culmination.
Like when you're like...
It's like a KFC Tim Hortons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're ready to party.
So you go and you dance and, you know, Lone Star plays
and you're in your finest denims and you just, you get rip-roaring drunk.
Yeah.
What's the famous Lone Star song?
Amazed.
Oh, baby, I'm amazed by you.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, it's nice.
Now, was it kind of like those were the two events that the town had
and they had them all together
and then there were no more events for the rest of the year you know what totally yeah then it was just uh yeah and
then it was like all the like you know all the like cool kids would be like pissing off the cops
because they were drunk and it's like catch me and the cops are at the fireman's dance and they're
like well boy i'm i'm double duty today yeah or the firemen have to go away
like a clear out firemen we're using your hall to dance a hundred percent and they're shooting
their sexy fireman calendar next on a big pile of potatoes there was a nice i think i believe i
could be wrong but i believe they also did like a sexy or like a little cheeky fireman's calendar yeah they gotta to raise funds
i mean they should do a sexy potato farmer's calendar too sexy i would buy that oh yeah it
would get really sexy yeah somebody on a pile of potatoes peeling a potato in the sun what time
year is the potato fireman dance listen i don't want to get you guys all revved up but it's coming up in august
is it only townsfolk allowed or can somebody go to check it out oh people are checking it out i
actually was getting my hair done the other day and someone asked me where i was from and i said
you know alliston because no one's really heard of it and a girl that worked at the salon was like
i was i was potato number seven at the festival. I was the potato queen in 1997.
She was one of the little tater tots, one of the little kids.
Now, what is this?
Is this a play that you put on or is it a parade?
There's a parade, okay?
Yes.
The thing about the potato festival parade is it's more religious than you think, okay?
Like a lot of churches and then like, you know so so and so's brother or whatever had to be
jesus at year and he's walking around being like leave me alone like whatever
not the baby jesus yeah not the baby jesus that was played by a potato
yeah of course of course there's a big passion play they put him up on a potato cross
totally oh yeah people throw potatoes at
them well they do have like the um they had like little bb guns where you would like put the gun
in the potato oh yeah and shoot little chunks they'd be like knock it off you know yeah that's
fun i my friends had a potato gun when i was a teen and it could break windows pretty easily
like it was pretty high powered oh is that when you put the full potato in the gun no you like you put it right through the
potato and then you launch it yeah chunks yeah and it would go through i'm not saying that we
broke windows but i'm not saying we didn't yeah the only thing that stops a bad guy with a potato
gun is a good guy with a potato yeah oh my god um renegades so this sounds like i you were saying
stephen king i think this sounds like a hallmark movie where you're a big city lady who has to go
back to potato town yeah you're a big city lady that works at lays chips and then yeah yeah you
have a high-powered corporate job and you can't find love and then you, you know, get marooned in Alliston, did you say?
Alliston.
They find out where I'm from and I reluctantly go back to the tater town.
And now I'm like so hot because I took my glasses off and I wear contacts now.
Yes.
And it's different.
Okay.
And I meet, oh my God, the guy that kind of made fun of me in high school and we're not having it.
Nice, yeah.
Right, maybe?
Yeah, no, this is it.
Were you wearing glasses when we connected to the Zoom call?
I did, but then I was like, these are pinching my head, you know, so then that's, you know.
Yeah, the less you see of us, the better.
I get it.
What is, and we asked, we talked about this last week on the show.
What is your number one favorite potato preparation?
Yes.
From chips to fries to baked to mash, whatever.
My gut instantly said mash.
There's really nothing better than a mashed potato.
Yeah, we agree.
Yeah, like a baked potato, I guess it it's always dry there's never enough sour cream
um a mash for me i mean nothing will beat a fry also but there's something about a mash well
last week graham and i we both kind of felt a little bit crazy that we landed on mash because
fries are so popular but here's a late entry that i didn't think about until just now
latke latke that's a pretty delicious potato it's i mean the the best the best you can get
yeah but they're they're yeah they're like inconsistent right yeah and something they
can be a little oily like there's something about a mash you can have just butter with salt and pepper you can add a gravy yes um yeah you can throw it on a steak a piece of chicken yeah and if you're obsessed with
some sort of close encounter that you've had with an alien ship you can make a little mountain out
of it and i mean of course yeah um i saw that movie once i think it was yeah it was worth seeing once yeah yeah yeah just once um the uh
what about a mashed potato served with an ice cream scoop turn on or turn off turn on okay now
you know what is this cone are we is it like a green onion sort of scenario i didn't say it was
a cone i just said an ice cream no but let's go with this cone idea. Okay. Oh, I thought you meant served in like a cone kind of thing.
No, I just.
Oh, is that a.
Okay.
That's what we're doing now.
I love those.
What is the cone made of?
Yeah, now we got to come up with this cone.
Is it a latke?
Is it a latke flattened into a waffle?
I'm going to say that it's a rosemary, like a savory cone.
It's a rosemary.
And like for me, I want like a crispy green onion or like
um like something with a little flavor yeah i want a gravy cone let's let's let's conify gravy
yeah well it would be like the hot fudge right a little hot fudge a little green sprinkles
sure okay if if a restaurant did that i would order it and i would yeah well that's what
they do in a lot of these when they're in these photo shoots when they're doing a but if you watch
a documentary of behind the scenes of how they do a commercial photo shoot for ice cream it's usually
mashed potatoes and it's gravy yeah and the cone is usually some kind of chive the thing about a mashed potato whether it's like powdered or like four days old it's just
it's okay it's never not good yeah no yeah it survives very well survives so well and if you're
getting it and you want to like spice it up a bit you can just put it in a pan and like spice it up a bit, you can just put it in a pan and like, you know, golden brown the thing.
Hello.
Yeah.
Hello, how are you?
A good thank you, very full.
Now, the famously people after,
I have a little frog in my throat.
Oh.
The potatoes have really gotten to you.
Yeah, it's really.
Famously after like Thanksgiving or Christmas,
people will make a sandwich out of Turkey and mashed potatoes or of
course,
cranberries,
but would,
would mashed potatoes go on the sandwich?
Yes,
of course.
Absolutely.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want it all.
I want it all in one bite.
Me too.
Yeah.
And you're,
this is the old Graham.
This is,
yeah,
this is before,
but I still will have the sandwich with all the fixings, like stuffing and potato and cranberry.
Yeah, stuffing really rules the sandwich.
Now, Canada is getting Pret-a-Manger.
What is this?
We're getting a Pret.
It's a British chain of coffee shops?
Yeah, but they do have a good day after Christmas, a Boxing Day sandwich.
Watch, it comes over here and they won't make it.
Yeah.
Wait, they have a Boxing Day sandwich?
Yeah, the sandwich we were describing, turkey and...
They have that just available.
Like, you go in and you're like, hey.
Yeah. Hey, how are you? Hey, how are you hungry thank you yeah um so it's i know it's not the holidays but may i please have a boxing day
i reckon you might as well get one of these sandwiches in hogwarts they also
make a Halloween sandwich.
And the Halloween sandwich.
Well, day after Halloween.
Day after.
Has a bit of candied apple.
That sounds amazing.
That sounds amazing.
But like one in 500 of these candy apple sandwiches has a razor blade in it.
And if you get it.
You win.
Yeah, you go to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
So.
And if you get it, you have to get to go.
Yeah.
You go to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
So, um, Stacy, what is your dream sandwich now that we're on, now that we're on the food train?
What's your go-to?
I want to tell you, first of all, there's no better conversation I'd rather have.
I had a very serious addiction to Subway sandwiches so much so that like all birthday
gifts or like people being like sending gifts
was just always a gift card um the subway to subway and and i mean this you know i do love
a sandwich conversation when it comes to like a sandwich i'm like i love a cold cut okay maybe
nothing better i literally just had a sandwich from a grocery store today turkey onion bun
okay lettuce yeah yeah don't overthink it you
know don't we're overthinking the sandwich i think that's why quiznos never took off it simply was
too much yeah um did you kick your subway addiction are we still have you had an intervention yet or
are you still doing it you know it's still in the veins you, I'll certainly walk by a subway and go and just, it smells like home,
you know,
that whiff.
Wait a minute.
Your hometown had a cookie fried chicken and the subway.
It had a KFC.
It's him Hortons.
Okay.
Was the kid.
And you,
did you,
did I hear that right?
The KFC Tim Hortons was one restaurant. It was a Wendy's Tim Hortons,
but then I,
I did confuse,
but I also,
I barfed in the
tim hortons bathroom not to not to brag and have everyone be too boned up but i barfed big in the
tim hortons barf big or go home that's what i said yeah hello it's the potato festival okay
and then i thought it's fine my friend said can you get in the car? I said, you know me. And guess what?
I barfed in the KFC parking lot.
Okay.
I thought you were going to barf in the car.
That's where I thought the story was going.
Didn't head out the door.
Body in the car.
Wow.
Nice.
Good for you.
We did a lot of opportunities in Alliston to barf.
It was really cool.
Yeah.
It's a good place to grow up.
What's the barf capital
of canada alliston ontario thank you we might not graduate high school but we barf wherever
so back to your dream sandwich yes okay so okay if i'm like just going for it this is what i'm gonna do i'm gonna do probably i'm gonna do a
footlong okay i'm gonna do a cold cut and we're doing your what is your dream sandwich is that
subway of course okay i know no that's just something like you could pick any bread in the
whole world because here's the thing we over complicate it okay yes okay yes fine you've already said this that's why quiz
knows didn't work because there was too many toasting options yes and it was overwhelming
i'm a simple girl um i think i yeah i think i would do a subway is that crazy no the heart
wants what it wants you know that's uh no but what does it say about my heart, you know?
That it's in trouble.
Well, it doesn't have much time left.
Yeah, you know how they say in relationships,
there's like a settler and a reacher, like somewhat, you know?
It's like, maybe I'm not reaching high enough in my relationship with sandwiches.
Maybe I'm just settling, but I would do it. And Subway's reaching for you.
I mean, is it? Subway is reaching for you. I mean,
is it?
Subway at the corporate offices,
they're like,
you know,
Stacy's out of our league,
but we,
we,
we've got to go for it.
Well,
listen,
Subway,
if you're listening,
like I'm willing to be in a relationship with you.
Oh,
you're ready to commit?
I could commit.
I mean,
I did take a break because I was hitting the tuna way too much.
I was really gone on the tuna sub.
You didn't want to end up like Jeremy Piven on his Broadway show where you ate too much?
Mercury poisoning.
Yeah, I didn't want to go rush to the hospital and go, I'm Piven, I'm Piven.
The press is like the publicist who had to write that press release.
He has to bow out of his show because he's eating tuna subs.
Well, I want to know what really happened to him where they were like, that's like, that fallout is fine for us.
Right.
The tuna sub fallout is better than what we're covering.
It was,
it was sushi though,
right?
Yeah.
It was eating too much sushi.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a sushi sub he was eating.
How much sushi was he eating?
That,
that happened.
Nonstop.
If you ate sushi twice a day,
which I wouldn't recommend,
but if you did it twice a day,
every day,
you'd probably end up, if you did any food twice a day any day, you'd be
in hot water. What about the incredible edible egg?
You're right. Eggs are fine. I think eggs are fine. Yeah.
Cereal, you could have that twice a day. Sure. I think you'd be fine.
Stacey, have you ever been to New York or New Jersey and enjoyed a Jersey Mike's sub?
I have been to New York or New Jersey and enjoyed a Jersey Mike's sub? I have been to New York, not New Jersey, but Jersey Mike's when I was living in L.A. was all over the place.
And for some reason I couldn't get myself there.
But everyone talked about Jersey Mike's being so freaking good.
Yeah.
I went.
I went there.
Have you been there, Graham?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You like it?
Was it so freaking good?
No, I think it's okay.
They really overdo it with the lettuce. Like it's way too much lettuce. Yeah. And like, yeah, you
don't really get to say the amount. They just kind of shovel it on there. But I want a conversation.
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You've been there, right, Dave? I will. Yeah, I went to the one in Sherman Oaks.
I give it four forks. Look at us Cali gals just talking about our Jersey Mike's.
It was fine, but it had been talked up too much to me.
It didn't live up to my expectations.
Where do you guys fall on the Mr. Submarine track?
You know, Mr. Sub is an institution.
Yes.
It is when you find yourself there
in line i don't i wouldn't say i was i was in the best place in my life right obviously yeah
and i'm looking around at the people also there and i don't think anyone's you know having the
best day of their life at the mistress sub yeah that's true now i
traveled this whole world we've mentioned this on the show i've been around the world and i i i
can't find my baby um but though i had never been to toronto until i was 30 and wow yeah i've been
through the airport going to destinations around the world yeah that's right
there's been around the world and the first time i went to toronto was when we did a live podcast
there and so i went with graham and in the taxi ride to our hotel from the airport we went past
a mr sub and graham famously said you know, Toronto's a real Mr. Sub town.
I think, I think that still stands if I, yeah, I think it's still. But Mr. Sub, yeah, I can, I see what you mean in a sense, but this Mr. Sub, like the bread is,
it coughs. It's so dry and the meat's just like just eat it like everyone's just like just
it you know yeah now it's not it what do you so you're a subway yes fanatic i'm obsessed
and you uh because i here's my thoughts on subway are i love the smell. Yeah. And everyone hates the smell.
People always tell me I'm crazy.
They say, Dave, you're crazy.
Yeah, but it's like when people say, don't say moist.
I hate that word.
It's so gross.
It's like, okay, Vanessa, well, it's moist.
Like, what am I to say?
The cake's delicious.
Yeah, it's what I am right now.
I'm so moist.
I cannot tell a lie.
I'm not like drenched, but I'm, you know.
I'm getting there.
But my problem with Subway is that I love the smell so much
and the sandwich doesn't live up to the smell.
Well, what's your sub?
What are you getting?
Because I'm going to give you a better experience.
Okay.
Well, there were decades.
There was at least a decade where I did not go to Subway.
As a young man, I would get turkey on white with whatever.
Now, I'm eating clean these days.
So I'll go somewhere and get,
get a veggie delight.
You're eating clean.
So you'll get the veggie delight,
the mystery patty.
Yeah.
No,
no,
not the mystery patty.
Just no,
no protein,
just veggies.
Or are you vegetarian?
Uh,
I tried to be,
okay.
I'm not at all. I try, I, try my i try not to eat uh meat before dinner
and i'm never getting subway for dinner you know i love you like i am never getting subway for
dinner that is a guarantee um what do you thinkacey? What do you think about the Subway's refresh?
What's your take on the refresh that they're doing?
Like where they say like, our bread is now bread.
It's not yoga mat stuff.
Yeah.
That refresh?
Yeah, we now have avocado.
Well, listen, we love a spinach introduction.
Okay.
Anytime I see a little spinach now, does it annoy the Subway artiste when I say spinach?
And they just give a few and I go, more.
More, yeah.
The artiste is always like, agagagaga.
He puts it in his pipe.
I honestly think, like, I'm here for Subway.
I'm here for the refresh.
I'm loving it.
Good.
Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Nope, wrong. Subway I'm here for the refresh I'm loving I'm loving it good um no I will say nothing hits
quite like a sub anytime anyone eats like a classic sandwich the face we all make is just
like oh my god this is so good yes you find yeah we're we're listen we all want to eat clean we all want to vow to never have
a sub for dinner but sometimes we must and you know it's satiating i'm gonna eat moist how about
that that's my new yeah this is my goddamn guarantee when when so you wanted to uh improve
my sub experience i do what what do you recommend well i was vegan for a few years and i was doing
this veggie situation that you're doing and it's not substantial enough give yourself the veggie
patty if you're gonna do just give yourself something to bite onto i would go to an italian
cheese if you're not a vegan man the bread the bread yeah or is that or you, you're talking about like, do I order an Italian urban cheese or
am I just, or are we just talking bread right now?
I think you get, you get the veggie patty sub with all the fixings, throw in some avocado,
be kind to yourself, give yourself some healthy fat.
Sure.
We want to add just a little bit of the like sub sauce, some mustard maybe.
But is Italian urban cheese a bread? a bread yeah okay and is it not vegan
no because it's good if you're not if you're not okay sorry guys i'm yeah okay sorry i might not
be clear no i'm i i was like yeah what's not vegan about italian i just got rev to the max that i get to unleash my subway feelings okay do it go
you go and then um yeah that's what i would do and i would fill it to the brim of all of your veg
and be be clear about your boundaries with your artiste yes okay get yourself some spinach don't
just let them sprinkle like jam it yeah sure i will never get the lettuce oh like as a young
man i never got any of the, I was like lettuce and tomato.
Now I'm like, ooh, give me those olives.
Yes.
Give me pickles.
Yes, olives, pickles, of course.
Get some cubes in there.
Delicious.
We need some cubes.
Yeah, just to cool the whole thing down a bit.
Yeah, because we're getting too hot and heavy, too moist.
We're getting too hot and heavy, too moist.
I met my wife in college and we went to Subway.
I wouldn't call it a date.
I think there were like 10 of us who all went to Subway one day.
Party Subway.
Yeah. I don't know if she fell in love with me at Subway,
but that day I ordered two footlongs,
and I ate them, like, so fast.
I ate them both.
In a row?
Yeah.
Did you eat them where you were on one end
and Abby was on the other,
and you ate until you kissed?
Oh, my God.
I'd love to do that.
So romantic. I mean, yeah. oh my god i'd love to do that so romantic i mean yeah what so you say uh be aggressive with your
sandwich artist yes what um what like unorthodox stuff do you tell them um i tell them how to live
their lives who to dump who to how to you know what they should be doing. You're sort of a cult leader.
Yeah.
I mean, the thing with me is I have too much.
There's too much energy.
I bring too much energy, too much conversation.
I'm asking too much and I'm giving too much and I'm over explaining.
So I'll say like, can I get more spinach?
And they're like, it's just like the lettuce is like weird.
And do you mind? Like there's just I'm like, it's just like the lettuce is like weird. And I,
do you mind?
Like there's just,
I'm giving too much of my own life and the biography.
Um,
if that makes sense.
Yeah.
And they never give anything back.
They're never like,
well,
the manager actually told me I need to stop giving so much.
No,
they're like this frantic woman.
I'm just going to give her her little cold cut combo so we can move on.
I'm sure is the energy.
Have you gone to the same subway enough where you are familiar with one of the artists?
Okay.
I will tell you this.
Okay.
I used to go to this subway when I was young.
I was but a young, unbridled 20 something.
And I would go to the same subway on Dundas Street in Toronto.
Okay.
Every day. Every day. I would go. the same subway on Dundas Street in Toronto. Okay.
Every day.
Every day.
I would go.
I was so broke.
I was very broke.
So I would have like one huge sub.
And that was like my big meal. And you're like broke.
And you're like, how did I like survive?
Yeah.
How was I like living?
So I was like, this is my meal.
And I went so much.
And then one day, the guy that always always served me he had asked for my name
before he's like what's your name you come in here and i was like we're not doing that this is
i am sarah mclaughlin building a mystery um the woman of your dreams okay you can't remember
when you wake up so but i kept going and like i would pay with like loose dimes and change like so broke
just like warm i was like you don't need to count it trust me um and then he he disappeared for two
weeks and then a crime stoppers ad came up and it looked like him and my roommates and i all agreed
because like i know i'm too much too much but they were like no no this looks like the subway guy and they're like you have to call crime stoppers i said and say what
like i go all the time you can trust me i was like i'm absolutely not doing what was his crime
i it was like theft around the area or whatever but someone had been calling into crime stoppers
and they like sketched him which i'd never really seen a lot of that around the city but he carried all his lock picking things in a sub yeah this guy's doing
he's very generous for the stopping so no one asked any questions he was called the subway
bandit and he still didn't call it in it was crazy yeah well graham do you go to the subway in our neighborhood yeah once in a while
how often how oh once in a while yeah just when when i'm walking by and i've like in between
meals that subway they they like the hours on the door are not with the real hours people they're
knocking off early regularly.
That's right, yeah.
It says they're open until 9,
but you cannot go past 8.
No, that's true.
The other day I walked by at like 6.30,
and they had already like,
they were cleaning the floors.
They had put chairs up on the tables.
Oh, yeah.
They'll let you know.
That's what I like about Subway.
It's like, really?
There was a guy at Pearson was trying to get a sub at six in the morning.
And that woman was like, dude, come on.
You don't need it now.
Yeah.
Make me a six egg.
Six eggs, please.
Another egg.
Thanks.
uh six eggs please another egg thanks six inch six eggs yeah that's right yeah of course yeah i'm divorced how'd you know
whatever another egg please i don't even have a flight i'm just here at the airport
because it said it was open I used to go to one
where the same guy was there
every time I went and he was a bodybuilder
and we'd always chat
about his bodybuilding championships
but he was like
you know the huge
rock looking
grease him up kind of style
and when he made the sandwiches,
they looked like tiny little toy sandwiches in his hands.
And then you needed three hands to grab it.
You were like, thank you, sir.
What did he get?
I want to get what he gets.
I want to be swole like him.
Yeah, would he ever give you recommendations?
Oh, he would just say, get in shape.
That was his big recommendation.
Yeah, leave me alone.
He just kind of made me feel super bad, actually. I recommend you fuck off. oh he would just say get get in shape that was his big recommendation yeah leave me alone yeah
he just kind of made me feel super bad actually i recommend you fuck off
i remember when i joined a gym in toronto called extreme fitness do you remember those or if you
had you have we have that we have yeah we have no knowledge of gyms but but they made you um
like take a personal training session before you could just stop going or whatever you're going to do with your membership.
Right.
But I remember this guy was like, you should probably stop drinking beer.
And I was like, well, that's not happening.
And he told me Steam Whistle is the leanest beer you can have.
Oh, okay.
And I've kept that fact until recently.
Someone was like, no, it's not and i was
like oh okay well this lean man was yelling at me at extreme fitness and i took it as fact yeah
so well you know what all that to say if the bodybuilder had opinions on subs i might switch
it up it's all i'm saying i'm drinking a pilsner right now yeah oh hell yeah and i just i i'm
reading the copy on the side of the can and i may never
get this pilsner again why what does it say nose rings and diamond rings coiffed hair and shaved
heads tattoos and suits culture and creativity by the way i'm also doing i'm doing a voice
it sounds really great yeah it's good's good. Mount Pleasant has it all. And this crowd favorite Pilsner celebrates its iconic, eclectic, linger a little longer style.
Linger a little longer.
Wow.
Wow.
Linger a little longer.
Linger a little longer.
Why don't you?
You know what a Pilsner goes well with?
A dinner sub.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Yeah.
Just saying. Just saying. What is a dinner sub? really okay yeah just saying just saying what is the
dinner sub are we talking about like a roast beef or something like that oh that'd be nice
graham what's your sub you haven't even said mine is just straight up as many veggies as i can fit
into the sub as possible i get i get it and no meat no meat do you get the patty no i don't get
the patty patty's weird to me yeah i agree it's a weird lentil-y kind of vibe are you
vegetarian i am yeah he is so i get for how long over 12 years i think oh a long long yeah a long
time okay but like when i was a kid whereas i'm vegetarian from about midnight to 4 p.m
but i'm very strict about it but But I mean, unless I'm,
unless I'm having leftovers from the last night.
Yeah.
Then,
you know,
it carries over.
For a very short period of time,
Subway had Beyond Meat,
Meatball Sums.
And I lost my mind because that's the one I remember from when I was a kid,
Meatball Sum.
Okay.
And,
uh,
it was so good.
Yeah.
It was.
Yeah.
And,
uh, it was only on the menu for like two
months or something that i vanished but um thanks yeah yeah but i'll just load it up with veggie and
then i get a little bit of pizza sauce that's my that's my treat to myself okay that nice yeah a
little bit of mustard away you go delish yeah I like this because I can't understand people because I have friends who like, you know,
I live to eat.
Like I wake up, I'm like, what am I going to eat?
Like that's what brings me out of bed.
And then I have friends that are like, I forgot to eat lunch.
I'm like, can't relate.
So I really, I'm really falling in love with you both because food is.
Food's glorious.
It keeps me.
It keeps me.

court together being like we we want to end this and they were like okay um were they drunk was the
court drunk well the guy did look at me and my ex and was like are you you sure you guys want to end

last like no no yeah let's stay married and then come back the next day like no we fucked up yeah
we did want to get this time double or nothing we're gonna get married again yeah is that old
sea captain back that asked the question in the first place?
I didn't really have a big,
I didn't have a divorce party.
That would have been a great idea.
I've just heard about them.
Really?
Yeah. Cause sometimes a group of it's typically women will come to a comedy show
and they're either a party,
but a lot of times when it's like a group of mid thirties women,
it's a divorce party and they're just,
they're just whooping it up. Yeah're like i'm free yeah yeah exactly i'm young again yeah totally
that was me how old were you when you got married i was um, oh my God. I think I was 28, 29.
Just a baby.
I was really a baby.
I'm 36 now.
Still a baby.
Thank you.
You're just a baby.
Just a baby.
Don't fall in love.
That's all I'll say.
No, I keep saying it.
Not catching on.
Don't fall in love with babies very much.
But yeah, I was like like pretty i was really young
and i just uh it's kind of crazy to think about it feels like a different time yeah yeah i mean
that's i'm at the phase now where i think everybody i know that i'm gonna know is married
until a new generation of yeah people grow up i was i was like oh i guess where i'm not getting
invited to weddings anymore.
Yeah. Oh, it's like done, you feel like.
You've gone through all the, everyone's
all coupled up. Yeah, and I
feel like I don't know. Or dead.
Yeah, absolutely. Some
dead beats.
Dead beats.
Yeah, of course, of course. But, yeah,
I think, like, my brothers
are married, uh my parents
are still married so i'm not gonna see them wed again sure yeah yeah well maybe a divorce party
your mom's like do you have any comedy shows you can recommend um i'm gonna whoop it up
me and sharon are gonna whoop it up other friend is, she doesn't care for your comedy.
It is so weird, though, when like, yeah, a different show.
That sounds like my parents.
They're like, is anyone else with a writer perspective?
We've seen your thing.
Yeah, we created your thing.
We're okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, yeah, you were just a wee pup when you got i was just a wee i was a wee pup and then how long were you married i was married three years okay yeah that's a good enough
time to know whether it's good or not you know how long were you together before you were married
eight years whoa an 11 year total no no no no all together
all together all wrapped in a bow okay yeah five five and three five and three yeah yeah okay i
know it's kind of it was crazy wow yeah and then all my friends ended up getting married after me
um and then now they're all having babies every single goddamn one of them yeah and i'm gross
yeah i do laugh at it sometimes because when i show up i feel like um they think i'm like a little
like party gal or something you know what i mean like i'm just like wild and out you know you're
david spade in the grown-ups films yeah i'm bringing a spade like energy I'm just like
coming in being like whatever yeah yeah I for quite a while if I had a friend that had a kid
and then I went out with that friend for an evening they wanted to go so hard uh at like
and go from bar to bar and I was like this is not, I don't do this.
I do this as few times as you do this.
Well, that's it.
It's like, I hate to burst the bubble here,
but a peppermint tea would be real nice right now.
My tummy's been strange.
Yeah.
You ever like, social media connects you with friends
you haven't seen in a while you check in with
them and you're like oh so we're now at the age where you go on like a nice cycling trip yeah
oh yeah yeah yeah that's it yeah yeah people having like i think the worst is when you're
hung over and then you're on instagram and everyone's just having a nice soft life and you're like, what the fuck am I doing?
But you can be hungover and have a soft life.
No, but you know when you're like hungover
and then you see your friends just up with their baby
being like, look at them eating an orange.
And you're like, it's 6.30 in the morning.
And you're like, I'm, you know.
I don't even have an orange.
I'm a gargoyle.
I still got the taste of Subway in my mouth from last night.
My exclusive dinner sub.
But you can be hungover and your baby wakes you up at six in the morning.
No, I know.
But that's, I know.
But you know what I mean?
Like when you're like.
They're just not showing themselves at that.
Yeah.
I promise me, your friends are all hungover.
They better be.
They're listening to this.
Please message me and tell me

we caught up with everything going on with stacy subway subway she comes from potato town yes divorced a divorcee is what they would
say exactly i'm i've i'm finally matching my voice when you were going to when the guy asked
you your name yes what did you think he did he think you were coming to subway because he liked
you because because you liked him no i didn't i he was not even i knew there was not even an
inkling of him hitting on me i just was like i can't be a regular here i can't open the door
they go stacy cold cut footlong jalapeno chips i can't have that you got chips with it every time
jalapeno chips and here a chocolate milk what are they miss vicky a chocolate milk a chocolate milk now that yeah chocolate milk sure yeah well yeah yeah yeah you gotta
of course they say to drink it after a workout which eating a sub sort of is
it's very heavy especially if built by a bodybuilder do you ever crunch put the chips
in the sandwich no i like to have them like a little decadent little treat on the side.
A little, you know?
I have a friend who puts chips on a sandwich.
A little crunch factor.
I would do it, and I can't believe I've never thought of it until right now.
I would try that at the Subway.
Get some classic lace, throw them on top of the Sub.
Because you need a crunch.
Yes.
You're getting a lot with the veg, but a little salty crunch?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just an extra, like one that makes a sound, you know? Oh, yeah. That're getting a lot with the veg, but a little salty crunch? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just an extra, like one that makes a sound, you know?
Oh, yeah.
That's what I'm after.
Oh, yeah.
Here's what's going on with me is the past guest, Chris Locke, was in town last week.
What a treasure.
And he had sent Graham and I messages to meet up with him for lunch one day.
And Graham said, sure. and i messages to meet up with him for lunch one day and graham said sure and then the day came and
graham was like oh no no i can't do that yeah i had to work i forgot i had to work oh you wanted
love oh you want a taco daytime taco no no no daytime time oh no no no no um and he and so uh
it he was he wrote us messages saying like, Hey, uh, Aaron Reed
wants to come.
Should we, can he come with us?
And we're like, I'm like, yeah, of course.
Why invite whoever you want?
I don't care.
He's like, Adam Christie wants to come.
Of course.
Christie.
He was in town.
And, uh, and then, uh, I don't, I think I can say this.
He posted it on social media.
Adam, Adam got COVID. say this. He posted it on social media. Adam got COVID.
Oh, shit.
Second time.
Yeah.
Aaron just backed out because I think he committed at night and it was daytime tacos.
So Graham backed out.
Aaron backed out.
I went to meet Chris and he was on the phone talking to his wife saying uh
should i get tested because he had just heard adam had covid uh adam who he had seen three days
earlier but it was basically i had a date with chris Yeah, yeah. A little sit down. And the whole time Chris talked about how he thinks he has COVID.
I don't know, man.
Should we go?
Should we still go to a restaurant?
Well, why don't we get tacos and eat them outside?
Yeah, we'll eat them on a bench somewhere.
Yeah.
Is that what you all did?
Yeah, that's what we did.
Just the two of us.
Nice.
That's cute.
I will say, if someone says, do you want tacos?
I instantly think night.
A day taco.
Wow.
Okay.
Yeah.
Did you have three tacos?
Yeah, did you?
Well, this place we went to, it's called Choncho, which I think means pig.
Okay.
Good name.
And they have, you order by the pound.
And so they said, oh, two of you maybe get half a pound of tacos.
Half a pound of tacos?
And so you can choose.
This was a day where I had meat in the daytime.
You can choose vegetarian or pork.
And we had both. You can choose vegetarian or pork.
And we had both.
And so then they give you like a bunch of, you know, tortillas, corn tortillas and a bunch of filling. And then like eight containers full of pickled cabbage and hot sauce.
Oh, yeah.
But no napkins. They give you no you no nap no fork to put anything on
what do you gotta do shovel it it was shoveling a lot of using the containers as utensils yeah
i find it and i think it's probably an unpopular opinion but i do find tacos to be a lot of work i do too like i love them i do too but like hard shell or soft
shell hard shell especially holy cow that's a mission oh yeah yeah the moment when i saw that
taco bell which we don't even have here uh but just in the commercials that you they wrap a hard
shell in a soft shell i thought i was like give them the nobel prize yeah that's so smart
they're messy it's i feel like do you feel like you and chris have elevated your friendship now
because it's like if it's like eating wings together no he's weird no he's too weird
yeah it takes it to another level the mess um we. We had, so yeah, no, it was messy.
And also the whole time, like, we don't want to share food because he thinks he has COVID.
He has COVID.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, I haven't, he was like, I'm Chris.
He's going to be so mad at this impression.
So what?
He gave me COVID.
Did you get COVID?
No.
Not that I know of.
Okay.
But I don't think he did either.
He also tested himself multiple times after that.
He's good.
Yeah.
Abundance of caution.
He's fine.
I can take him or leave him.
So mean.
So mean.
What the hell, man? That's him. that's a good chris yeah and he uh so uh but no it didn't
bring us closer together yeah uh but i really was eating those pork tacos so fast and he was like
you already ate those it was it was my first date with abby over again. You ate two full lungs?
Bro, what the hell?
It's not the night.
It's not even a big deal.
It's not even the night.
Tonkos are a nighttime food, bro.
And then we walked over.
I had heard about this new park downtown in Vancouver.
Ooh.
Have you heard about the new downtown park, Graham?
No. Oh, wait a minute. Where is it? this new park downtown in Vancouver. Ooh. Have you heard about the new downtown park, Graham?
No.
Oh, wait a minute.
Where is it?
It's on Richards and Smythe, and it has like walkways,
like kind of, I imagined it like kind of like the High Line in New York,
except that it's half a city block.
Whoa.
But it's elevated?
It's elevated. Yeah, there's these walkways where you go and you can
kind of there's one area that has like a net uh okay kind of like um not a net funicello uh but
like wow okay kind of like a playground net that hangs over the sidewalk so you can like look down at
people walking underneath the park that's cute oh cool um so chris laid down on that and i took
his picture did he ask you to take his picture he really enjoyed it i don't know if he asked but
i don't remember every detail but then we went and then there's like a coffee shop embedded into it.
And then you walk over and there's like a kids,
there's a fountain.
And then there's like a kids playground area,
which is very downtown ish.
Like it's just,
it's vertical.
It's there's towers that you climb up and slide down.
Wow.
That is cool.
It was really cool.
And I was really looking forward to it.
And I was like,
this is great.
I'm going to bring my kids here this weekend
And so
The next day I brought my 7 year old
Margo
And
She took one look and was like
I'm not doing that
Oh you're like no please
It's going to be cool
I drove you downtown for this we had to find parking
That's going to be cool. I drove you downtown for this. We had to find parking.
That's going to be so heartbreaking. Like I don't like,
I don't obviously,
you know,
I don't have kids.
I'm crying when I'm hungover about it,
but,
um,
but when my nephew doesn't think something's cool or doesn't want to do
something,
I'm surprised at how just earth shatteringly heartbreaking it is when I'm
like,
no,
but this took forever to get you here.
Please.
No,
I got used to it.
This is so cool. Please. No, I got used to it. I thought this was so cool.
Yeah, please do this for me.
I thought it was cool from an outsider who would never do any of this stuff.
Look, I'm 41 years old.
I'm not climbing an urban tower.
But, you know, I've known her long enough that I was not surprised.
She really only likes swings when it comes to playground swings is it she does sound like me i remember i had to
my parents forced me to walk i was like oh gosh i was over it like my dad was like do you want to
go to disneyland and i went oh the lines i was over it as a kid I was like dad please
so we went and
then she was like
no not for me and I was like okay
let's
go to the car wash
oh yeah
disco car wash
no the one well I guess kind of
we call it the monster car wash
because it's like monsters attacking your car from every side it's the one, well, I guess kind of the, we call it the monster car wash. Cause it's like a monsters attacking your car from every side.
That's cool.
Uh, it's the one where it drags you along.
Oh yeah.
That's the best.
Yeah.
Too much.
As I've mentioned before, too much responsibility on me not to put the car in gear.
Just imagine how you could totally ruin the whole thing just by slamming on the brakes
oh god break the entire machine and then the next day i brought my five-year-old she had a birthday
party the first day so i brought her the next day and she loved this park nice that's great
one out of two kids that's not bad she did like that she went down a slide and she
then came up to me afterwards and said hey i made a new friend in the slide oh my god like that's
great that's so pure the slide is like two like i don't know 25 feet high so and it's completely
covered so you can't see the top of the slide from the bottom of the slide and the whole time there were parents just telling their kids like pulling their kids back kids love
climbing up a slide yes it's the best and but like this is one where kids get quite a bit of
velocity from the top and you cannot see them coming but still the danger of it. When I was a kid, the sled, or sorry, the what is it called?
The slide.
It's like a sled.
The slide that we had,
we loved climbing up as well,
but it was just like a tin
slide, so in the summer
it would be like a baking sheet.
You would burn yourself continuously going up
and going down.
We didn't have the the luxury of plastic you
don't think about how the tin man must have done in the summer yeah same with the scarecrow all
those dry you know fire season just complaining and he's like oh i like it better in the winter
when i can be moist yeah stop it i don't want to go to Oz. I'm hot. I'm reheating. I can't help you.
We're going to walk there?
No thanks.
Through the fields.
The lines.
Oh, those munchies.
The lines.
My God.
That is something that just saying that.
How come there wasn't a line at Oz?
Because everybody knew Oz and knew that he was the guy who gets stuff done.
Why did they just breeze in?
Why was nobody else?
Did they all know he was a, spoiler alert, a phony?
Maybe everybody in Oz knew except that these four.
Really?
Did they?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
I've never read the book, and I refuse to.
No, I'm not going to either.
Oh, I've read the books.
All of them.
Oh, you have?
The whole set by L. Frank Baum.
Ooh, Elphaba.
Is that where that comes from?
How interesting.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage.
The Wickedly Tales of Jabba Zabba the Doodly.
This Pilsner's going hard.
Anyway, so also there was another thing during like at the peak of the pandemic when they tried
to make playgrounds like they tried to put arrows on the ground with playgrounds of which way
ridiculous allowed to go yeah the kids kids do not want to just go down a slide they want to
climb back up with their slippery ass shoes um in vancouver i don't know what it's like in toronto you have
do you have like uh parks mr sub country it's mr sub country yeah you're sitting there with your
sub in the park yes of course is there like a kind of a water thing like where kids are jumping in
and out of streams and stuff like that so there's a really cute park near my place that's like a
splash pad and a really great little parquet
thing where all the kitties jump in and during the pandemic there would be grown adults with
their children in the shallow splash pad right with a floaty and i just thought it was unhinged
that this parent was doing this i couldn't believe it. Now you say that this was during the pandemic.
Of course, the pandemic is still on.
Adam Christie gets COVID every week.
Adam Christie loves COVID, can't get enough of COVID.
I got COVID and then Christie, like two weeks later, got COVID,
both at work, stressful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bonded, it's still happening.
But when it was really happening uh as well yeah
uh adults no kidding it's still i very much wear my mask happy to do it love it
um can't wait for the next booster please my god um but yeah the there but they seem to have
abandoned the boosters oh yeah they haven't we gotten quiet about the boosties?
Yeah.
I wouldn't mind a couple of noises about the boost.
Yeah.
Give me a few boosts.
Yeah.
Maybe I go to the pharmacy and ask if they have boost and then they direct me to that drink for all people.
Well, we only have Ensure.
Which we can't with the boosties by that.
Yeah.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. that anyway what's going on with you graham oh man nothing holy shit should have come for tacos i was racking my brains today um and the only thing
that i did i talked about last week i week. I went to Victoria, BC.
How long were you there?
A day.
Oh, yeah. I just went there one day, flew back the next.
Yeah.
And I don't do this often.
I don't think I've ever done it to Victoria,
but I kind of saw how much it costs and how much time it would be
to drive to the ferry and then drive on the other side and have two people going.
And it's,
it was just like,
you know what?
I'm going to fly.
So I went and bought myself a ticket,
which I think was probably only like $40 more expensive than doing the,
the whole half day ferry ride.
Was to take your car.
Yes.
Yeah.
And drive on.
Okay.
Yeah.
And so i was uh i like you know how sometimes you're just sitting around you completely lose concept of time and then you see a clock and
you're like holy shit like i don't know how that hour passed or that you know no time has passed
at all um so i was sitting at home goofing around on the computer.
I'm having fun.
I'm looking at Twitter.
I'm reading articles that I find on Twitter.
Oh, you have the time to read them.
I'm a headline guy.
So anyways, the time had passed significantly.
And I was like, holy shit, I'm going to be late.
So busted down there as fast as I could and had to call.
I called them and said, I'm on my way.
Like, don't fly away with me.
I'll be there right on time to fly.
And they were not impressed that I was calling.
They thought that was.
Was this Harbor Air?
This is Harbor Air.
Wow.
From Danger Bay.
Yes.
Yeah.
They float plane. I believe their whole fleet is electric Air. Wow. From Danger Bay. Yes. Yeah. They float plane.
I believe their whole fleet is electric at this point.
Oh, wow.
Oh.
It's electric.
Yeah.
And so I get there and they see me coming.
They know when I walk through the door that I'm the guy who called and is screwed up.
They know it.
I got so much attitude from the lady at the counter.
And then I was also feeling a vibe in the room that everybody in the room was hating me.
How late were you?
I was on time, but they say you should be there half an hour ahead.
And I was there five minutes ahead.
Oh, okay.
So you were 25 minutes late.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you got on no problem.
I got on,
but you,
I was the whole time.
I could feel this vibe.
Like everybody on this plane hates me the whole time.
How long is the flight?
Oh,
I think half an hour.
Oh my.
It's enough to read a Twitter article.
You know?
Yeah.
Wow.
You're going up and coming down at the same time.
Yeah.
Isn't it amazing that you can look at your phone in the sky?
It is crazy.
It's amazing.
But here's the thing on those planes they show
you a little video that says this is the safety procedures i was looking around the plane i was
like if it landed on the water and was starting to sink all of us would die there's nobody that
would be able to get the no get there because we're all wedged in so nobody'd be able to open
any door we'd all just sink down to the bottom of the sea.
And then you don't have a device to smash the windows?
I mean, probably, if I searched.
I mean, anything could be a tool when you're about to drown.
When you're drowning?
Yeah.
Wow, that's a really great survival tip.
Anything's a tool when you're about to drown, you know?
Yeah.
Frankly, you're a bit of a tool.
Look around.
Are you drowning?
Everything's a tool look around are you drowning everything's a
tool but the window the windows seem like not so smashable i don't think they're smashable
and i think would you smash them smash your past
um yeah so uh and the other thing is is like you get on a plane for uh air canada their whole thing
is just like show a video and very much on the the harbor air it's like don't smoke here we go
oh sure i've been on their planes before where they hold up an ipad yes that's what they did
on this they had my god so this is like a 10 person flight or something like that.
This is something like that.
Yeah.
I've been on the tiny ones and if I can avoid it, never again in my life.
They always sound so scary.
I've never done it, but everyone always doesn't have a good time.
Have you been out to this part of the world, Stacey?
Have I been to Vancouver?
That's what I'm asking.
Oh, I have, but I haven't spent much time there. I'm very, very new. That's fine. Look,couver that's what i'm asking oh um i have but i haven't spent much time there

There's no videos.
There's no iPad holding.
When you say they're reenacting, are they like scared when the plane goes down?
I wouldn't mind a little dram I wouldn't mind a little dramatic from my site attendance, you know, like a little like, oh, something's coming.
And then they dangle the oxygen mask, like a little like.
That's fun.
That's fun.
WestJet has always been the funny one.
WestJet, they have a little shtick.
Yes.
And they, I mean, they might've recognized you and they were like maybe playing it
up being like oh maybe this is my chance to get on 22 minutes yeah yeah me watching the wedding
singer with my iphone um on the flight they were like wow big news over here there's a big there's
a couple big plane scenes in that movie they know it well oh yeah and here's the thing i watched a
tiktok video that gave me a little hack where you take the vomit bag and you
put it in between your phone and the case and then you can hang it and watch it.
No, I'm using it.
I need it.
And I looked around thinking everyone's going to be, their minds are going to be blown with
how cool this is.
And everyone looked quite sad at me doing that.
Oh, like they're like, oh, she travels so much alone that she's figured out a way life hack for herself wow she's not even gonna get
sick on this flight yeah she's so confident she doesn't need to barf in this bag oh my god

Because he doesn't get one of those jump seats like
the flight attendant.

they didn't give him a seat and he was still like,
this is fine.
I'll just hold on to nothing would you would you take the gig would you take the gig if they offered it to you what would be what would be the price i don't think i'd think i'd

It's fine. I don't have a canvas, Stacey.
Jesus Christ.
Um, I was in Mexico and there was a big pool and, um, it had been pretty
quiet until there was a wedding and then everyone was making friends in the pool,
except for me and my lover, they, no one was talking to us.
And so we were having a little beer in the pool and someone swims by except for me and my lover. No one was talking to us.
And so we were having a little beer in the pool and someone swims by and it's this man
and he's very burnt.
And a bald man breezes past me and goes,
Cleve, your wife told me to tell you to wake the fuck up.
And there was a very drunk, sleepy man in a cabana and he was like i'm up
classic cleave classic cleave and his friend was this like very boisterous like woman from
missouri who kept referring to herself as an old whore.
And they kept calling her that.
And he kept going,
she's straight from the home.
We found her straight.
She just escaped from the home.
Cleef.
How old were these people?
They were like maybe 50,
60.
And she was like,
I don't know much.
I'm just an old whore from Missouri.
These people sound like the greatest time in the world yeah but then they had already made friends so then i was like are they trying to are we getting indoctrinated like is cleef and this
old whore from missouri gonna be our friends they quickly moved on but yeah i've never made a single friend on vacation much less like for like a day i i don't give off the energy um they i think they could tell but
yeah cleef did wake the fuck up so get cleef cleef what's cleef short for that was my question
cleveland and i think cleef can only be said in a Southern accent.
Can you imagine being like, Cleef?
My dad Cleef?
Like, no.
Yeah, they'd be like, you're mispronouncing Cliff.
Yeah.
So at the time of this recording,
I mean, at the time this episode is out,
this episode is coming out July 4th.
Yeehaw.
We have got a new puppy.
I've not talked about this on the show.
Okay.
Here's a name suggestion.
Cleef.
Yeah, Cleef is good.
What kind of puppy?
It's a girl.
What kind of puppy?
It's a Staffordshire Terrier, which is like a mini pit bull.
Cute.
Then Cleef is great.
That's a good name.
Cleef would be good.
It's a good name.
Boy, now I'm just thinking of pit bull, but mini, the rapper.
Yes, tiny little pit bull.
He's pretty tiny in real life, so it would be a really tiny little guy.
But just think about what you get to yell at the park.
Because I have two dogs.
One's named Vic, and one name is Burger.
And when you yell Burger in the park...
Everybody's happy.
Everyone's having a good time.
We have another dog.
The dog is named Monster.
Whoa, damn, that's a great name.
The boy is Monster.
The girl...
I want it to be...
I think it would be funny if it was like monster
and just like rebecca yes that's pretty good yeah i love that so the kids want it to be goblin
i think the listeners will once hearing that the listeners will love that yeah that's true
but monster and goblin it's too i want to be corncob i'm thinking it's gonna be corncob
corncob's good. Corn Cob's good.
I really like Cleef.
The more I hear it, the more I'm like, yes, Cleef.
Because now you can walk by her in the morning and go, Cleef, wake the fuck up.
That's true.
That's never been a problem with dogs.
They always seem to wake up before I do.
You're moving right now.
Yes.
Thank you for recording with us on a moving day are you moving
so the um do you so you're moving and we're recording this on the 14th of june yes uh
when is your move-in day today you can move in the middle of the month so it's i mean this is
it was a really random find as i feel apartments are these days where it was like a friend's apartment like above her and the landlord was very cool.
And so I've been given the month to move in and it worked out.
Yeah.
So I just kind of picked, this is when the movers could come with the big things.
So I've been slowly moving in.
Okay.
Two dogs is not a problem to move?
No.
Or is it hard to find a place?
They're old men.
I have a little bulldog named, like I said, Burger.
And Vic is just a little tiny basset hound mix.
So they're like little kind of guys.
A lot of skin there.
A lot of skin going on.
There's a lot of drool.
There's a lot of droops.
Lots of droops.
A lot of droops. So they're like 14 and 11 so

just talking about dogs um i will forever. I mean, they're so great.
No, not now.
It's time for me to shine.
That's right.
Dave just wanted to shine.
I truly am.
Now I'm like, I haven't overheard, but let me just go through my phone and see if there's anything better.
Somebody's texted you a better one.
Come on.
Come on, text. Sometimes I'll just take screen caps of things.
That's, you know,
well accepted. Oh, I took a screen

early menopause. What could I
possibly have thought was funny about that?
Naomi Watts.
Robert De Niro admits

It happened to a buddy of mine.
Okay.
Here's my real overheard.
I was at that park, the great park at Nelson and, did I say Nelson?
Richards and Smythe downtown.
And it's always strange when you hear a little child who refers to their parent as
mother oh yes and there were some pigeons in the park and a little boy
maybe a 10 year old boy said mother pigeon pigeon they're adorable was he british he wasn't yeah he might have been british i hope
see now that you said that mother thing i was thinking of a movie horror movie that i
saw called the boy and have you seen it no it just sounds spooky it's about a woman who goes to like
take care of a kid uh and the house while her parents are away.
But the kid is a doll named Brahms.
Brahms?
Yeah.
Like the guy who wrote Lullaby?
Yeah.
Spooky.
It is spooky.
It's spooky as all hell but you you i you had a joke about listening to cbc
while working in the day and he would play brahms lullaby yeah it's like hey come on man
there's people that listen to this they're trying to stay awake um so yeah i heard that kid say that thing and now it's your turn graham my turn is
uh this i had to dig to go back in the files but uh this was when i was on salt spring island
and i was on a patio patio season hadn't started yet but it was was this a restaurant patio it's a restaurant patio
yeah how many restaurants on salt spring island oh i'd say there's probably a dozen
yeah um because i'm i go to gabriola island there's maybe well do they have food trucks
because salt spring has no no no no yeah they've got they've got the skull pub
makers of the chewing tobacco uh they've got some other like kind of clubby restaurant looks like a
country clubby kind of thing yacht clubby kind of thing and then a bunch there's like a mini mall
but i they're not many patios yeah there was a couple patios and this one was right on the water
and it was a couple sitting down.
Sounds divine. It really does.
It was beautiful.
The light on the waves
just like pretty diamonds
as far as the eye could see.
And this couple
sat down behind me
and the husband was like, huh,

oh my god um now i looked up that movie the boy yeah there's a sequel called boy too brahms
brahms boy too um the but like you know how google gives you little questions that people often ask

it and any actual occurrence it's uh if if anybody's looking for just a really silly ride
that movie's got it and you liked it i loved it was it on shutter it was on shutter
you're addicted to it i love it um yeah i've become a real horror movie fan during the the
pandemic so i can't do it i don't know what it is like i just like i i just can't know that i'm
gonna be scared i can't handle it has the pandemic changed you in any way? Stacey McGonigal? Can you imagine if I was like,

in the shop and asked the front desk,
Hi, do you do tattoo removals?
Yes. Good. I got this yesterday

Or is it better to get it fresh?
Yeah, maybe you can suck it like venom out, you know?
Oh my God.

ago on the podcast i thought about this day today and just started laughing was dave saying that he
had a tramp stamp it was a pair of uh gloves and it said, hit it like a champ.
That was based on an actual lady
from a tattoo show.
I think it was called Inked.
Are you talking about Ink Master?
No, it was a show.
This was like when they had LA Ink
and Miami Ink.

Now this,
this next overheard from Doug from Indianapolis,
it's a double barrel.
We've got two great things.
He's heard a photographer.
I shoot a lot of concerts this past week at a show.
I was in the photo pit
Waiting for a band to start
And overheard
A man in his 60s
Tell his friend
And you know who
She reminds me of?
Pitbull
She's all about entertainment
And the lyrics are
Just as clean as MC Hammer
I didn't know that about Pitbull
Is he clean?
Yeah I don't think
I've ever heard him swear
He's Mr. Worldwide.
That's true. Oh, damn.
Can you name a song of his?
I don't know. Is Mr. Worldwide
one of his songs? No.
I can't. No, I can't.
Is he that one that goes,
I know I want you.
I know I want you.
Hey, the you, I want you.
You know, you guys have both heard the story about the
contest the pitbull yeah test yeah no when he uh he so pitbull and jerry and elaine and kramer all
decided to not masturbate for a while pitbull was out first actually yeah yeah yeah he caught one
look of his bald head in the mirror and he was like, sorry. It was the same summer that there was like a contest to see if Taylor, like, whoever, whatever place gets Taylor Swift to come to their, you know, gets the most votes, gets Taylor Swift to come to their, perform at their place.
And it was Taylor Swift performing at a school for the deaf.
Yeah.
And so she refused.
She was like, you're trolling me.
Right.
But Pitbull, go ahead, Graham.
Pitbull was in a similar contest
and he ended up having to play a gig in Alaska.
So it was like Pitbull will play at some Walmart.
Yes, that's right.
The most remote Walmart.
And he went there and he put on a fucking amazing show.
Did he?
He treated it, yeah.
He treated it like it was a fucking arena show
and gave those people the show of their life.
I love that.
Yeah, I love Pitbull for who he is and who he continues to be.
When I lived in LA, I lived across from a school
and they were throwing a fundraiser
and Dave Navarro played.
Cool.
I guess he was a friend of a friend or something.
I love it.
They said he was coming up or something
and I rushed over
and there was a full campground
and there was drinks and stuff for the adults
and he ripped it in a mesh top with two nipple rings. i was like i'm living just yeah solo yeah he was with like
i guess like their parents or friends of the kids like parents that were like professional
musicians but they treated it like it was this like huge concert it was insane yeah always put
your best foot forward you know he also along with flea played
on you ought to know dave navarro yeah damn and ben montage from tom petty and the heartbreakers
oh this is a double barrel mc hammer being the first one oh yeah before he heard that
i also saw 20 something in the crowd who was wearing a t-shirt that said, I sucked Bigfoot's dick. Oh, that'd be a 20-something in the crowd.
That's what I'm going to get tattooed.
Now that I think of it,
I want to see that every day.
No, I suck Bigfoot dick.

punchable guest. This is
Nate from Brooklyn
calling with an overheard from the
Lower East Side while I was out coming home
from a bar on Saturday night.
You know, you're walking by the drunks getting
their drunk snacks and such,
but there's this guy
sort of impressing his friends doing these sort of amazing
slinky tricks tricks just tossing
the thing from hand to hand
and when
he stops he's like yeah dude
I got three slinkies at home
come back to my place we're going to slinky it up
anyway off I go
first of all
don't you call our guest punchable
that's a lesson to all of you out there
don't presume call our guest punchable. That's a lesson to all of you out there. Oh, it's okay. Don't presume.
Détente.
No, do not do.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was rude.
I mean, you'd be right 60% of the time, but not today.
Oh, okay.
I might argue, but I run fast.
You won't catch me, but maybe.
When he said slinky tricks and he said it was passing from one to the other hand, that is the only slinky trick as far as I'm concerned.
I could do that.
Also, like, does he have stairs?
Like, how many stairs are at this guy's place?
Oh, shit.
Yeah, yeah.
We talking three-story walk-up or just...
We're not putting it in the elevator.
Although that would be funny.
That would be funny.
I'm also thinking of him at the bar being the slinky guy.
Like, being like, yeah.
Slinky on his shoulder come here often oh this
old thing what cute boys all going home to slink it up yeah oh well uh no no women want us tonight
let's pack it in early guys and slink it up I can't believe we're still virgins with all these slinkies.
Don't worry.
We'll get there.
We'll get there.
Slow and steady, just like the slinks.
We just got to meet the right lady.
And then the next time they're at the bar, there's a woman with a silly putty smashed up against a newspaper.
Yeah, or she's on a pogo stick. up against the newspaper. Yeah.
She's on a pogo stick.
She's got two devil sticks or whatever.
