Yeah, I guess it's, you pointed out last week, you're like, oh, this is going to be a milestone.

And was that the first time?
Oof.
The second time.
Whoa.
Okay, 500.
That's blah, blah, blah.

I just think it's a cool number.
I'm stoked that we're here.
Speaking of being stoked, our guest today,
returning guest to the podcast
you can see them denver 5th through something in august
it's river butcher river butcher everybody oh man great uh that was the best you can see me
denver 5th denver 5th at august 4th comedy works
what's up you guys it's good to be here on your 750th episode i am really happy that you're
um celebrating 750 because i feel so i feel so much that it skips 250 500 1000 yeah yeah because it goes 25 50 75
100 exactly but then when we got that that extra place or whatever yeah are you in the are you
big into numbers do you yes but not in the way i mean in the way that you're saying dave that i
am like inferring from your tone.
But you're not like a gambler.
You're not into that.
Or are you?
You're not into Kabbalah.
No, I'm not into Kabbalah.
I feel like if I ever got into gambling, that would be the end of my life.
Oh, yeah?
Because I play fantasy baseball and fantasy women's basketball.
And I feel like I've gotten to a place in it.
This is my fourth or fifth year where it does not rule my life what about the track have you ever gone to the track
no thanks i mean well i have i have a thing with animals that i can't participate in that that's
fair but if we're talking roulette craps oh yeah blackjack you know poker any of that stuff like
dangerous territory or just generally sports betting,
you know, gray sports almanac.
Yeah.
That kind of thing.
Like anything that doesn't involve animals, which I have.
I mean, this is a vocal podcast, but I literally have like a pretend, you know, prop of that.
I forget about it all the time.
And it has a pretend prop receipt in it because, you know, the receipt is like translucent.
I love it.
You have a dust buster as well? No, I unfortunately, I mean, I have a version. It's a pretend prop receipt in it, because, you know, the receipt is, like, translucent or whatever. I love that. You have a Dustbuster as well?
No.
Unfortunately.
I mean, I have a version.
It's a new one.
It's not the quaint little item from the 1980s.
But you do have a Dustbuster?
I have, yeah, a Dustbuster that folds open.
That's amazing.
Because I have a really tiny apartment, and you kind of need one.
I kind of thought as an adult that I would have one.
I think growing up, I assumed I'd have a Disney.
I mean, they were fun when I was a kid.
Yeah, they totally were.
They were heavier than I thought they'd be.
So they were a little unwieldy.
Just like everything in the 80s.
Heavier than you thought it was going to be.
A phone, a remote, a television.
Everything is heavier than you thought it was gonna be this is heavy
that's true uh do we want to get to know us sure
uh river how many um are you how many fantasy baseball leagues are you in i am in
How many fantasy baseball leagues are you in?
I am in three, which is like, I think a pretty manageable number.
And then I have the basketball.
Three?
Yeah.
Three just baseball ones and then also a basketball one.
Yeah.
I'm losing a lot at the basketball one because I just don't have the rhythm of when they play.
And so I just forget about it often.
I'm just getting my ass kicked a lot um because we i'm a sports fan but i don't do any fantasy sports because i feel like
ever you've never done it i did like a couple hockey pools when i was a kid but i feel like
as an adult you need a friend to invite you and i haven't got it i mean i would do fantasy high i know almost
almost nothing about hockey oh there's not much to know yeah i would do i just don't understand
icing and offsides and stuff i can't retain that i don't know them either and i grew up with it
yeah offsides i just never too many sports have offsides is it foul or what i don't know it's
very easy for me To understand that
And then you mix in
Canadian football
Are you
Are you playing baseball
At the moment?
I am
I mean not
You know
Not currently
At this precise moment
But I was playing last night
I guess
Yeah sorry
Silly question
Being a real
Spicy dick
Sorry
I think it would be cool Trying to fun but yeah what i mean i wouldn't
put it past myself to be playing some version of baseball during a podcast yeah doing a little
another pool like batting with my you have a background on um yeah what uh tell me about
your glove yeah what are you in position well you know it's interesting that you bring that up because
i one of the things i did to tidy up before i got onto the podcast was i i brought my gloves in from
the porch uh where they were being warmed by the sun with uh various size baseballs and softballs
in them to build out the pockets and like some of them i put weights on them to
like okay people like to tie them up you know to like yeah break them in and stuff but i like to
use a weight or like just pressure are they so i this was just kind of like a i know an offhand
question but i was so how many gloves do you have and are they new yeah i have one that is my like
my like gamer that's been that i've used consistently the most
and that's like a second base glove it's 11 and a half inches it's an infielder's glove
and that one's the most broken in one and that's the one that i go back to if i
am playing terribly but um i i just started playing first base a little bit more because
i'm getting old uh me and my so I manage the team with two other guys
and one of them has been the manager the whole time
and he and I are almost the same age
and we're basically like fighting over first base now
because we're just like getting older
and can't like, you know, I don't know,
run around as much as we used to.
So I have a big first base glove that I'm breaking in
and those are like, you know, those are like catcher's mitts yeah you know but a little bit thinner so they're like just a lot to
break in how many gloves do you own all together being fully honest i have the three that i use
and then two extras that i don't use that i'm finding people to give them to are you going to
stretch it out a little for them or are you just going to let no those are those have been broken in i just don't like them they don't work for me like i got kind of a
cheaper first base glove it's a little too small okay uh like it just doesn't have as big of a web
it's it's kind of tiny so if somebody's maybe a little smaller than me it might be better for them
now or newer remind me river yes who's on first? That's a great question.
Yeah, I think that's part of the routine.
I've never heard that before.
I've never really, you know, when you think about it.
No, if you think about it even for a second.
Whoever really is on first.
Yeah, that's true.
What is your, like, at your peak prime baseball playing?
What position did you play?
What was it?
The position you wanted to play?
We should mention that Dave's a sports reporter.
So yeah,
like,
is it going to be Bridget in the Boston glow?
Do you like running around the infield?
Do you like chasing down fly balls in the outfield?
I really like third base,
um,
because you don't have to think very much. No, sure. Uh, I really, I, but I really like third base because you don't have to think very much.
Oh, sure.
But I really like that sort of bang-bang position of just get a glove on it.
Just get a glove on it.
What's your batting style when you're up to bat?
Are you lefty or right?
I'm a righty.
I mean.
Like hardcore right-handed unfortunately um i don't know i mean i like i've gotten a little bit more power lately
so i'm starting to hit a little differently um and i did size up my bat okay from a 32 to a 33
it's a very light bat very well balanced so it's not super
heavy where'd this power come from are you are you doing reps well well i'm juicing i'm literally
i'm literally juicing so i mean that's i'm so sorry but that's unfortunately the answer
i just couldn't i I literally could not.
I wasn't really trying, but I also just could not put on muscle before.
And now I actually have like a little more upper body strength than I had before.
What excuse do I have?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
But I mean, that's the crazy thing is I was playing baseball before and I was in baseball
shape, but playing baseball now, now it just it affects my body differently
to do it very slow in the legs now so it's definitely had its like balance to it it's
not like i'm just like oh i'm good at everything i'm like so slow now all my legs are so much
bigger and not faster you're good at sports you're good at taxes you're good at just yeah right i'm good at
all the things that the patriarchy created yeah threw away my dust buster um what is what does a
baseball bat cost that's oh i mean that's a great question thank you um there was a bat that i was
using pretty consistently that because it was 30 bucks and it was really light, and so I could get it around really fast,
but I literally broke it every two games.
So I pretty much spent the same amount on that $30 bat
than I would have on a more expensive bat that was a stronger wood.
So this bat that I bought is $130, which is a lot of money,
but also like a professional grade bat is like $300 or $400.
Yeah, and you only have to knock one robber unconscious.
You just paid for it right there.
That's right.
That's right.
Because I played hockey when I was a kid.
Oh, yeah.
And the sticks were all made of wood.
Yes.
And then I took 25...
What kind of wood?
Are they maple?
I look.
They might be...
From the smell of it,
they might be hickory.
Hickory.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Like a nice jerky.
I have no idea.
And then I took 25 years off
from playing hockey
and then I went back to it
and now they're all made of composite.
Yeah, right.
So they're all made of composite. Yeah. Right. Uh,
so they're very light and flexible.
Uh, and they're all like two,
$200 plus.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And,
and they're really safer too,
but they can charge you.
I mean,
I don't know how dangerous the first ones were.
Well,
I just mean like wood breaks.
Yeah.
That's why.
Yeah.
That's why like college. Yeah. Like why college baseball doesn't use wood breaks. Yeah. That's why I like college.
Yeah.
Like why college baseball doesn't use wood back.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
It's literally for safety.
But I just, so I, when I started playing hockey again, it was like, I had to buy all this
gear and I didn't want to.
That's a lot of gear.
Yeah.
And most, I mostly got used stuff.
And I didn't want to.
That's a lot of gear.
Yeah.
And most,
I mostly got used stuff.
Uh, and then when I needed a stick,
I found,
I went to the used,
uh,
sports equipment store and they had like these sticks that were $30.
They're,
they're for teenagers.
They're not for grownups.
But are they,
they grownups eyes?
Could you go,
do you think they're like,
I was,
I also had no like frame of
reference i was i remember when i was a kid it was like your stick needs to be up to your chin
like if standing straight up it needs to go up to your chin and i was like yeah that's about right
and uh just to stoop your shoulders a little bit to get but you know what it's worth it to save
200 bucks oh yeah who wants to pay 200 for anything
you didn't have to get a teen to go in and buy it for you
but like uh oh yeah no uh there's happy meals for my daughter in the car it's just
don't question me do you have other equipment do you have cleats do you have any of that stuff yeah yeah i don't
really i don't ever i would love to catch but my knees hurt too but i can only do it for like
literally two pitches and then i'm like okay i gotta go yeah um so no the gear that i have is
gloves batting gloves uniform cleats a bunch of bags to carry everything and i have like three
bats because i'm insane and i love to buy
baseball shit um what's the what's the most expensive most extravagant money that you've
spent on baseball like did you go to a city to go see a game or the the most extravagant that i've
actually spent is probably i did get myself a really nice glove infielders glove that that was
a little bit bigger than the one I've been using for a bunch of
years.
And that was like 300 bucks.
Okay.
And I just really like it.
It's just like,
I love it.
I don't really use it that much in games and stuff.
I've been like slowly breaking it in.
Okay.
Cause I just think it's like a,
it's pretty,
it's a fancier.
I can show it to you.
This one is in,
I can reach it.
I love this. It's very close. I just have to, I can show it to you. This one is in, I can reach it. I love this.
It's very close.
I just have to get up very slowly.
Don't worry.
Don't, okay.
And we're done.
What does a not broken in glove look like?
Okay, so here I'll show you the one I've been using.
Okay.
This is great.
This is fantastic.
Dave, take a picture of this.
Take a picture of this with the glove.
Screen cap, there you go.
Smile. It's like i'm hugging it like hey like i'm holding his shoulder you know but you can i mean it's very used you know yeah what was that a rawlings yes i i i have never not had a
raw like every glove that i have is a rawlings because i don't want to have to put my name on anything oh nice nice but i also just like their shit so this is the glove that i got
oh that's brand new yeah it's brand new i mean it's been used i just i haven't oiled it or
anything because i really love the color you have to oil them yeah so you can see this one i kind
of overdid it see how shiny it is oh yeah yeah yeah it's a little, I kind of overdid it. See how shiny it is? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a little bit too full of oil and it got a little bit, you know, I can't really treat it anymore because it just got too much.
I just did it a little too much to break it in.
So I'm trying to not do that.
I'm trying to not do that with this one.
Hopefully you could hear everything I just said because I wasn't talking to you. No, that was great.
Yeah, I just really, it's just really pretty. Yeah, that yeah that's what he's gonna say it's really nice love you know
and it's like this particular level of it has like an actual i don't know mlb thing on it and
everything nice nice that's how you know it's a fish that's how you know it's fish did you ever
play baseball graham i played uh you know, some Sandlot style.
Friend had a ball and a bat kind of deal.
But never, not in a league, nothing like that. You never owned a glove?
I owned a glove.
Yeah, I had an old glove.
I didn't catch a lot of stuff, but you know what?
My heart was in the right place.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave, you played it when you were younger.
No, I played t-ball.
Oh, t-ball.
My parents never signed me up for baseball
And that's fine
I was not
I mean I was going to be whiffing it
I was not coordinated
But I
It is very hard
I did like getting gear
Gear's fun
I like breaking in
You know
We didn't oil our gloves we put
shaving cream on them oh yeah that was supposed to break them in i don't know like lanolin in it
it totally works like oh really yeah oh wow because it's whatever it is that's that goes
into the skin to like soften it to shave it's the same so it's lanolin i believe you're talking to
some bearded guys yeah i'm talking to
some bearded guys gave up on that that whole scene years ago but it's i think lanolin and stuff like
that is in like beard oil and stuff or follicles it's kind of the same it's all the same stuff
the uh man i'm learning so much stuff yeah i love it graham's gonna go like you're gonna see him
next week he's gonna have a rawlings glove he's gonna be wearing a catcher's outfit yeah he's gonna be
i'll just have watched angels in the outfield so i'm ready to go i'm stoked
hell yeah um did they stop making kids baseball movies after like 1998 pretty much the 90s. Yeah. Yeah. Huh. They stopped making kids sports movies.
Did they?
I guess so.
That was like, that was our generation.
And then they've just stopped doing that.
Because they don't really make kids movies anymore.
I was actually talking about this with Adam Conover the other day.
That like, you know, we grew up at it because we're all generally the same
age i feel like we grew up at grew up at a time where kids went to adults movies you know yeah
there was like disney movies and that was you know like disney cartoon movies that was it and
then the 90s was like roger rabbit set like a tone because that's totally adult you know yeah but for kids at the same time
so then you had that and then so us going to those movies then we grew up and we made kids
movies for adults like up and all that stuff you know oh sure or like toys all those movies
are really for the adults not the kids i mean yeah that's true i mean there was some like i remember they
came out uh with a line of toys from robocop and i was like yeah no kids allowed to watch robocop
yeah and then it they there was a cartoon that's right there was legit a robocop and it was like
you know totally like funded by the lapd or whatever like there was like... You think Robocop is copaganda?
I don't...
I think it's very subtle.
I mean, even Ghostbusters being a kid's thing
is weird. That was weird, yeah,
because it's a lot of...
It's not a kid's movie. It's a lot of standing around
talking for a movie.
Yeah, there may have been a blowjob
from a ghost.
Yeah, may have.
Most definitely.
I mean, I don't believe in ghosts.
That's who Alanis was
referring to when she said, go down to the theater.
It was the ghost.
Did you hear Dave Coulier
acknowledged that
song? He acknowled acknowledges before every show
that he does i acknowledge this am i a privilege like a land acknowledgement
it's an alannis acknowledgement close okay well we're closing on the podcast we did it
when did he do this uh oh just this week or something yeah just this week he was on a radio
show and he he said uh so they asked him uh and it was as they always do yeah well i guess
they don't well i don't know i don't know how many interviews he gives that's true i mean what
is he doing is he just doing stand-up or something like he's doing um
boy he's ranger joe yeah he's got woodchuck it's from full house oh oh i thought it was like a
legit thing it was no no it's a joke got it um i don't know what he's doing he must be
uh i don't know but he was still does impressions, I know that Yeah, he heard the song
Cut it out, you know what I mean?
Yeah
He told the story of when he heard it
The first time he heard it on the radio
And he was like, huh, is that about me?
Huh, maybe that's about me
Probably shouldn't have
Dated an 18 year old
Oh yeah, see I didn't
Think about the age
differential there yeah it's the age differential is bad yeah yeah it's bad bad there's really no
you know it's a little bit too conveniently legal yeah yeah yeah on our 18th i mean
they refer to that as just barely legal i think that's
the genre of that one you know yeah he i've never i don't know like did you think he was
wholesome because he was on full house or he was did i think that yeah did you ever think about his
outside of full house life well like bob saget is so famously not wholesome outside of full house or america's funniest home
videos yeah he had the double yeah he had two barrels that yeah two barrels of wholesome coming
at you that's right yeah and then i feel like that show i feel like i was in and out on that
show like i was never like fully fully full housed you know what i mean like i was never like
this is my show because i was like a
kid when that shit was on yeah i remember and it wasn't for you yeah it was not for me at all and
then like some of my friends would be like uncle jesse's so cute or whatever and i'd be like uh
okay who the fuck is that who's uncle uh what are you i don't know what you mean. Turn on Facts of Life again.
The stories from the friends next door
they never told.
You might be a star tonight, so
let that camera roll.
That's still on.
I didn't watch the shit out of that, though.
When I first moved to Los Angeles
and I was like, you know, I don't know if you guys have made los angeles and i was like you know i don't
know if you guys have made like a big move and you're like it's very emotional yeah regardless
and i was just very sad and it was on uh the streamer who shall not be named i'm not gonna
talk about them anymore but um it was on there and i just watched the shit out of it and it was like
such a good it was like medicine just like laughing at dogs
and stuff yeah yeah what i loved about america's funniest home videos is that the audience dressed
up for it it was like oh yeah that's right yeah you could they always shot the audience and the
host it was bob saget followed by tom bergeron followed by Alfonso Rivero. Oh, right, Alfonso.
And they always shot the audience, and they must have told the audience,
hey, dress, you know, smart casual.
Yeah, exactly.
This isn't coming down to the Craig Ferguson show.
This is a big affair that you're coming to.
It's basically they're just dressed for church on that show.
Which a lot of people worship.
Super churchy.
Yeah. Well, that's what a lot of people worship churchy yeah
well that's what it was it was church in the morning and then they flip it over to america's
funniest home videos but i mean it totally america's funniest home videos i do believe
if we could harness the power of that thing we could get everybody on the same page
because i feel like every political background person will watch that show and enjoy at least some of it you know true yeah because there's no there's there's no politics to it at all yeah like at all like
somebody yeah taking a hard line on a dog uh begging for treats or something like that yeah
there's there's no there's no nothing and they've not taken the politics out there's no politics to
begin with it's like the only pure form of entertainment where like everybody can participate yeah like the finalists are dog steals treat uh girls
in water fountain and man goes on conservative rant and gets hit in the nuts
so bob saget was hosting that for years yeah and. And then Dave Coulier hosted America's Funniest People.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
They tried to spin that off.
Do you think they were ever like, do you think they were trying to find something for John Stamos to host?
America's coolest shit.
Yeah.
America's coolest uncles.
America's best bolo ties
america's best nickel-plated belts yeah america's best pseudo beach boys member
bongo boy yeah he's the hottest beach boy. The hottest beach boy. The newest beach boy.
The hottest beach boy.
They're all 70 years old.
Speaking of conservative rants, here's the beach boys.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That Mike Love is really a...
Oh, my God.
What a nightmare.
And he like...
The only song he wrote was Kokomo.
That was his big contribution.
He wrote Good Vibrations.
That's the only one?
Oh.
He wrote Good Vibrations, I think. He did? I think so. At least the lyrics. kokomo that was his big contribution that's the only one oh he wrote goodbye vibrations i think
he did i think so at least the lyrics look i'm not a musician well i play music but i'm not a
musician you know i don't do that for a living songwriting seems very far-fetched and hard to me
no kidding but i feel like this song good vibrations writes itself yeah that's just out
there in the ether real dick and just be like once you start writing good vibrations and you're like
i'm just gonna rhyme through this thing it's it's already there i mean okay so here uh fully formed
in the universe he co-wrote fun fun fun now that's yes i believe that believe that. I get around.
At the end of one of the songs. Hey, let me go.
Oh, sorry.
It's just one song he literally contributed three words to.
Which one?
At the end where it sings goodnight baby or something like that.
He said goodnight sweet baby.
That was his whole contribution to the song.
Wow.
So can I interrupt and ask you guys are you
into the beach boys in any way shape or form you know are you are you uh what's your vibe
no i'm not into them i don't dislike them but i'm not uh you know i'm not reaching for like uh
you know do i have pet sounds and do have i thought it yeah have i believed people who
said it was the greatest thing yeah you know yeah oh good yeah oh it's so good it's so good
oh my god yeah yeah yeah this is what pushed the beatles to do sergeant pepper i get it
yeah sure um yeah i like them i i like that era the all the um brian wilson stuff is uh if he went off his own i would
have followed his trajectory if he kind of broke up early from the beach boys and went to his own
thing but right now what would his uh his band be called oh boy the beach boys the beach man he's just yeah dudes i just i'm curious because like i just have never
literally no one i've had one friend who was like into the beach boys and she was really only just
into pet sounds so like i it's just funny it's the beach boys are just like a funny anomaly to me
that are like a thing i do love around that like nobody in my family was like threw on the beach
boys like i just i'd never heard it other than in movies you know yeah well exactly like your
your teen wolves and whatnot right yeah you're look who's talking and you're look who's talking
too oh yeah um did they say the beach boys in there uh i'm pretty sure that like the opening scene of
look who's talking which is the uh sperm conception scene is the sperm start like
swimming to get around get around i get around very silly now is that the best opening to a
movie that's ever been done define best just like you're on board right away you're like what the hell's
going on on board right away i feel like there was like a distinct period of my life where look
who's talking was in the vcr and playing on the television a lot like at my friend's house
there so i uh you know how there's a wordle oh yeah, yeah. Oh, I do know that. And there's all these variations on wordle.
There's hurdle, where you name that tune.
And there's one I like called actor-le.
Oh, yeah.
I tried to do this.
Yeah.
Is this the IMDb one?
Yeah, it is.
It shows you.
Every day, you have to guess the actor, and it gives you a list of 20 movies with the names crossed out.
You can't see the names of the movies.
But they've starred in every single one kind of thing?
Yeah.
And it tells you what years those movies came out and the genres and sort of like what their rating out of 10 is.
Yeah, the IMDb rating.
And there was one, I got John Travolta in one guess because it was like, it was a movie,
a musical movie in 77, a musical movie in 78.
Oh, and it's their 20 highest grossing movies.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then nothing until 1989.
And I was like, this is John Travolta.
This is absolutely John.
And then 1994.
Yeah.
And 1989 is going to be Look Who's Talking.
It's very funny to me because I remember, you know, like everybody's like, John Travolta's
back for Pulp Fiction.
But I'm like, what about Look Who's Talking, you guys?
He never left.
Yeah, he's been here the whole time, right under your nose.
Look Who's Talking is pure Travolta.
It is.
Like, well, who's the, is it Bruce Willis is the baby?
Yeah, Bruce Willis does the voice.
And did, was Rose does the voice and did
was rosanne the voice of the in the second one yeah and then lucas talking now which is the third
one danny devito danny devito devito and rhea perlman voiced the pets because they were just
like what the fuck we can't have more kids. Now, did they? At least 50 years old.
At that point, were the brother and sister already grown up enough that you didn't have to hear their inner monologues?
I think so.
I never watched that one.
Head Sounds, really?
It could be a name for that one.
Yeah, that would have been good.
That's what Ryan Wilson's band should have been called, is Look Who's Talking 3.
Yes.
Look Who's Talking Now.
Look Who's Talking Now.
That does sound like a Ryan Wilson songson song look who's talking now yeah to put a bow on this it's help me ronda he also co-wrote okay uh help me uh rhea perlman and uh california girls
and good vibrations california girls is my favorite genre of music which is
listing people from different places
yeah
and also it's California based
so you got your Katy Perry's in there
yeah sure but you also have your Midwest
Farmer's Dolls
the Northern Girls
they keep you warm at night
oh my god the genre
listing gals from places yeah that's a genre that
is uh you know it's it's timeless yeah and lizzo has a song about boys from different places
all my exes live in texas that's uh yeah that's why i live in tennessee yeah um that one where
johnny cash says how the places he's done,
but maybe if a woman sings it, then it could be women.
The men she's done?
Yeah.
Calvin Harris, before he was a famous DJ,
had a song about different races of girls he likes.
Oh.
I bet you that's aged well.
I mean, he mentions every race, I think.
He even says mixed race.
Wow.
Can I say that I had to fill out a medical questionnaire
for my annual physical?
And it gave me the option. It was
trying to get all this information that
you could opt out of. And I did.
I opt out of a lot of it.
One of the questions, I'm trying to pull it up real quick.
I don't know where it is. I think threw it out was like white caucasian european white like if you if you
selected white caucasian you then got a subsection which was white slash caucasian europe European or white. I'm mixed race. I'm Caucasian
European and white.
Yeah, I like that it gives you two
chances to say that. I'm white on my
mother's side and Caucasian on my father's.
Oh, it was Armenian, European
white, white, not
listed. That was the
all the options for white. Armenian?
And that was it? Armenian, European
and white or white colon not
listed i go with white no i'm gonna go with white not listed yeah yeah because my phone number isn't
listed and yeah exactly keep me out of those white pages that's my favorite subgenre of white
of white white not listed i'm yeah i'm you know emo core
now i'm trying to think of other songs that are naming people in places this is oh um
it's like uh well i mean there's the uh rocking me by uh steve miller when he's
phoenix arizona all the way to Tacoma
I mean, yeah, that's in there
That's really good
There's the Going Back to Saskatoon by the Guess Who
Wow, Dave, you've got a lot of these
Keep going, man
Keep listing all these places
Yeah, this is fantastic
Wherein they list the places
Yeah
Boy, oh, there's one on the tip of my tongue i can't
get it though you guys you could do the rest of the show while i research um yeah well i feel like
by the end of the show i will percolate it one of my i'll have thought of one yeah let that be our
mission for the rest of the podcast oh well there's um uh missy elliot
where she goes black white puerto rican chinese boys that's true yeah kind of some kind of racist
i mean now are we just oh it has to either be types of people or places sure yeah blue people
places or people from places okay we didn't start the fire by building a good one that's very good
i guess jfk is a blown away i guess what more do i have to say you know was it salt and pepper that
uh said that the the man that she likes is uh has an arnold body but a denzel face that's
naming it which you said was so offensive to Arnold.
Everything but your weird face, Arnold.
Yeah.
River.
Yes.
Before the show started, you said, I hope you can't hear the chickens outside.
I did say that.
Tell me about the chickens.
Yeah, I want to know about the chickens.
Sure.
Yeah.
I have chickens on the one side of me.'re not mine my neighbor has some chickens like probably five or six chickens oh like yeah okay a rooster one of them got into
our yard once and are they free range in their backyard or they yeah i don't know if they have
a coop or not which is like pretty sketchy because there's coyotes you know there's like legit coyotes here um and so one time you know we're just like plots of land next to each other
pretty we're our place our space is very tiny we're like kind of wedged in between two very
large yards like there's houses behind us on the street behind us and their backyards go all the
way past us so that's why they have space for chickens.
Right.
And one time one of the chickens like jumped over and was just in our yard.
I have no idea how she got over here.
Cause it's a,
the fence is very high and they don't fly.
So yes,
I am.
You know,
they're famous for their wings,
but they do not fly.
They're famous for wings.
Mostly breast,
but just hung out out and then we were
trying to get her back to where she needed to go and she was like nope and went to the other yard
and then we never saw her again so i don't know if she got back or not but they have like five or
six chickens and a rooster and the rooster crows at about 4 p.m why 4 p.m that's like not anytime
before i am yeah i think he grows pretty pretty early early, but like it's not loud enough to wake us up, thank God.
Yeah.
But it is very loud during the day when you're fully awake and aware.
It's pretty loud and weird.
And how long does it go on for?
Like 15 minutes.
Really?
But it's not like a constant 15 minutes.
It's just like he does it for about 15
minutes but there's like chickens and roosters all over this neighborhood really is it is it
all over la is it are you allowed to keep chickens yeah i don't i don't know there's i mean they're
definitely all over los angeles and i feel like east la there's more just this side of things because the West side
tends to be more about appearances and chickens don't really fall into that category.
And I also, there's a pig on the other side.
What?
Oh, man.
Like a full, like a pot belly, but she's huge.
She's a big gal.
Is your neighbor George Clooney?
I wish.
He's always trying to get me tequila.
No, her name's Pearl, which is funny.
Yes, that's so great.
Pearl before swine.
That's very funny.
She's huge, though.
She's very big.
Yeah.
As piglets, they're the most deliciously cute thing in the world.
And then, boy, do they keep growing.
They kind of never keep growing.
They just get big, man.
Yeah.
Huge.
They're very smart, apparently.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they're like dogs.
They're smart or smarter than dogs.
Yeah.
I don't want to screw up.
Have you noticed any intelligent behavior over the fence?
Oh, for sure.
I mean, definitely.
She's definitely like, I mean's they're social like dogs are you know
they have that kind of intelligence of like i know who you are and i would like to hang out with you
you know kind of a thing and that's what's a bummer is that like she's just in her thing
right and she doesn't really i've seen her out a little bit but she doesn't get to really like
hang out with anybody or anything so that's kind of a bummer because you're just like man this is just like a sweetie little dog that doesn't get to hang out
with anybody yeah would you ever go over and say can i please go pet your pig which sounds like a
euphemism for something no i mean yeah first of all i would never say that to another human being
because it does sound like i'm trying to do something Dave Coulier like. How old's your pig?
Hey, is that pig
18 or what?
I just like
as a white guy, I'm just like
I'm going to leave you alone.
Okay, fair enough.
Yeah, we're the worst.
Whenever I
mention things about like pigs and stuff stuff like that people are like oh
well you're living in the portland of los angeles and i'm like no i'm not what are you talking about
yes it's being gentrified but like you're that's really it's really uh unintelligent thing to say
that like oh i assume that the people that have chickens and pigs are white people pretending to
be farmers or whatever and it's like no the reality is it's like just actually people's lives you know
like it's not it's not some put on thing idea you know what i mean yeah like sometimes you just get
a pair of overalls that look really good and you're like yeah that's right sometimes it just
works yeah maybe i do live in the portland of los angeles i I do live in the Portland of Los Angeles. I actually,
I live in the Island of Dr.
Moreau.
There's a lot of pig men and women.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Umbrellas.
A lot of sunscreen.
A lot of umbrellas and fans.
Where was the box hanging around?
Is the plot of that,
that he's made human-animal guys?
Yeah.
Okay.
I've never seen that movie.
Me neither.
Oh, and there's a song from the soundtrack that's like,
I like pig men.
I like horse women.
No, I'm thinking, I'm just going back to our genre.
From Arkansas.
I bought that full.
I totally bought that.
I'm very gullible post-pandemic.
It's not over over but you know exactly
whatever this place is that we're in listen for me dave where are we where are we now we're
currently in the uh boy post-covid pre-covid post-covid pre-covid we're we're like omnicron
five but like denver comedy is open. That's right.
What am I doing?
You know?
Joe Biden, totally fine, working through it.
Oh, that's right.
He's got the COVID.
I heard that since Top Gun came out, that the sale of aviators is, aviator sunglasses is up.
You mean since 1986?
No, the new Top Gun. But biden is like mr aviator does
he not get any of the credit no nobody's wearing that shit because of joe biden i do there might
be a couple old guys that are like hey man we can still we can hey man i like the president
yeah yeah that guy's cool president that guy's cool he called me
malarkey at one point his friend soda pop came over yeah and then corn pop really threw down
corn pop i like soda pop too what was corn pop corn pop was actually a real thing which is messed
up that it was real what is corn pop
oh he did he there was some footage of him talking to right it was like a group of kids
or something yeah and he was talking about when he was a tough kid and his buddy's name was corn pop
yeah and i think they had chains well i'm missing any part of that story i think they were i feel
like there was some like race stuff that he was talking about.
It was like a black kid.
He was a lifeguard, I think.
That's right.
He was at a pool.
Yeah, yeah.
Kind of remembering.
And there was some street toughs who happened to be black
and happened to be named Corn Pop, you know?
But it was actually true.
Yeah. I think worse. we tracked down corn pop he works at kmart oh oh no well i mean a job's a job right yeah
kmart still exists no no it's a bad guess bad Bad riff. Does JCPenney still exist?
Yes.
All right.
Let's head over there.
I've seen it.
I've walked past it.
It still exists.
Cool.
It has signs out front that says, let's get back to shopping.
Mmm.
Nice. Are these post-pandemic signs?
Yeah, they are.
They are.
Let's do it.
Come in here, please.
They're just general slogans.
These are from 1988. Spend $5 here. We have to do it. Yeah here please general slogan spend $5 here
we have to do it
we have dockers
oh god
yeah there was that period
just after 9-11 where they were like
go shopping
if you want to do something
shop for freedom
the economy
who gives a shit about the economy you know who gives
a shit about the economy economists sears is closing is it they're the baseball fans of the
economy yeah the sears closing was a big, brutal one, because I remember my grandmother bought me some craftsman things,
and she was like, that has a lifetime guarantee.
And it turned out it was only her lifetime.
Yeah, well, Sears, I feel like that was Christmas shopping.
You could go to Sears and get everything that you wanted for Christmas.
Did you get the catalog?
Yeah, I think.
I got a couple of those catalogs.
I spent some serious time with some hiking boots in those catalogs.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
Back in 95 or so.
Remember that?
When hiking boots was the thing you were supposed to wear?
I think that kids are into it now.
They're wearing the hiking boots.
They're wearing all sorts of...
I mean...
I've always been into it because I love to hike.
I love the trails
I love trail mix
I love Gorp
uh
big Gorp guy
big Gorp guy
the kids Graham
are into everything
it's kind of like
it's very strange
to watch
because I thought
for sure
I was like
there's no way
after going through
the 2000s
and the 2010s
I was like
there's no way
that we're going back to
oversized clothing.
Absolutely no way.
Now, here we are.
I saw somebody in jean coats yesterday.
Straight up jean
coats. Really? Like, not
any jean
coats. Jean coats? Wow.
Like, stove pipes or whatever
those things were, like a 29 inch yeah can you wear
them and not listen to uh rave music or sublime rap metal yeah whatever that's a great question
i'm curious like what the music is for that do you listen to the music of the pants yes
do the pants just follow your music yeah
because what would it be now i don't understand i don't know what it is there's no way you're
listening to harry styles and wearing that you know you might be though it's new i haven't ever
seen uh i've seen people with them and they don't seem to have any through line except the size of
the pants that seems to be like so I think it's like,
that's just the pants you need to participate in the conversation.
They don't have like a baby doll tee and also like a ball and chain Joker.
It's just the big pants.
And then just whatever shirt.
When's the wallet chain going to come back?
Tick,
tick,
tick moments away.
We're moments away.
I mean,
we're in a cashless society do we
i have the smallest wallet of my life right now guys i do too yeah yeah just cards no no
cash no nothing i take out every time i need cash i take out a like anytime i have like a specific thing or a specific person i need to pay with cash
that sounds nefarious but it's a specific person it's uh it's it's truly not um sex work is real
work guys that's right i uh take out an extra 20 for myself and now I have $120 in my wallet.
Yeah, nice little treat.
Gotta justify that
$6 fee that they charge you.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, and then get a couple of them
busted into quarters. You could go play
a slot.
I can't get any more 20s out though. I don't think
the little guy can.
I had a little guy like that.
And then I was starting to carry cash again.
Because I get paid cash for shows.
And then if I don't have a wallet,
then it's just in every pocket of every pair of pants.
Yes.
That's my motto.
It's a pretty good investment system,
honestly,
these days.
I'm still finding dollar bills in my JNCOs.
I mean,
those pockets are a mile deep. Exactly. when i was a teenager i wore giant big pants and they swish so much that they like rubbed all of my leg hair off yeah
on the one side i was and i thought it was like well that's gonna that's gonna be how i am forever
i'm just gonna have half a hairy leg. This is me now.
Yeah, exactly.
Old half hair leg.
Yeah.
Maybe I'll start wearing stockings or something like that.
Where did you lose the hair?
Bottom of the leg?
Top leg?
Side leg.
Side leg.
Outside.
Inside, actually.
Inside.
Inside, yeah.
Inside leg.
Yeah.
Here we are at the inside leg.
This is NBC Sports. We're at the inside leg yeah and uh here we are at the inside leg this is nbc sports we're at the inside a tragedy today at the inside like mutilated by a pair of ginkgo stovepipe jeans yeah man i love the look i'm excited it's back i had boot cut i know
that's as big as i ever that's as big as you went yeah interesting i feel like i definitely raged against the machine and went
like super tight with dickies but even those weren't like what was yeah after you do gene
cos yeah in 1998 or whatever what was tight then was still pretty big yeah you were still 10 years away from skinny jeans yeah skinny jeans which i
i never did i tried but uh the key word is skinny yeah yeah and the other word is jeans so they're
hard to get on anyway they're super hard to get on yeah uh and i well i mean i did definitely do
like the low-rise britney christina look yeah it was yeah dave was a juicy Pink on your butt yep You could see my pubes
All the people in the red carpet
Yeah Von Dutch hat
Dave what's going on with you man
Well speaking of clothes
This week
I finally watched
A movie
Called House of Gucci movie called House of Gucci
ah yes
House of Gucci have you seen it River?
I haven't I have the screener on my
shelf have you seen it Graham?
yeah I watched it on an airplane
let's talk about it
it was not
it was unsatisfying in the sense that
it was like I was excited for it because i was like oh this is
the kind of movie that i feel like any this is going to be a sunday afternoon thing that for
years it was just going to come on tv and i'll be like oh yeah i'll watch that and then it just
didn't live up to it it wasn't it it was boring without being fun like it was boring without being fun. Like it was bad without being fun.
That's the worst.
Have you guys seen the new Jurassic Park movie?
I haven't seen the last seven Jurassic Park movies.
Yeah.
I saw the first new one.
I saw Jurassic World.
Yeah.
Period.
And then I was like, no, thank you.
I don't.
Yeah.
Nope.
So I didn't see the second one
and then this third one
my partner and I just needed something to do
and I was like it's gonna be a fun
big thing and the original
three are in it right they were great
and it was like hard to
watch a movie with them
in it because it made the rest of it
so bad right
you're like oh this is what acting is
like so similar to what you're talking about dave it's like i thought it was going to be bad fun
but it was bad bad yeah it was just like yeah not even bad chaotic bad it was just like bad bad
in this gucci movie it felt like every take it was so loose like it felt like every take before they started rolling you like al pacino
or jared leto or lady gaga who said right before they said action they said how about i try
something like this and then walk around with my weird accent and man jared leto in that movie
that's what i liked about it was that he did an italian character
it's as if he had only ever seen a super mario brothers yeah that's what he was basing his
accent on wow and i had no problem with any of their accents i've like but there was just some
you guys are clearly not italian yeah i guess and i haven't seen this but i could tell like
dave was reached for comment and he didn't have a problem with their accent.
But it was just like, no fun.
It was like, no soul.
What do you think happened?
Because I've been watching some 90s movies,
and I feel like even when they're not good, they still have something.
Yeah.
What are you watching 190 style
well
the first one that
the most recent one is dead man walking
okay
which you know hits a lot different
at 39 than it did at 13 or
15 or whatever I was when I watched it the first time
that's Sean Penn
and Susan Sarandon
and Tim Robbins directed it and wrote it with
sister helen prejean oh wow just try to keep that guy away from a jail movie he
that's the only movie you directed though oh imagine if the only movie you directed a
was dead man walking and b you got nominated for basically everything but Best Picture.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Slap in the face.
I think they didn't get nominated for screenplay.
But director, actor, but not the movie itself.
I walked into, the TV was just on the other day and I walked into the room.
And it was, no one was in the room i i guess
i had left the tv on spooky yeah this is spooky she was on first i don't know wait that's third
um the uh it was king of queens was on yeah and this is not a show i've ever seen before
i know it's never seen king of queens you know what it might have been mike and molly
oh yeah no that's easier to believe that you've have been mike and molly oh yeah no that's easier
to believe that you've never seen mike and molly i mean that makes sense and mike melissa mccarthy
right yeah yeah and mike it's insane that she was on that thing and mike is uh mike is a cop
and he is uh in the cold open susan sarandon has driven her car off the road and she's drunk.
And so he's like talking to her.
And that's the whole cold open of the show is her trying to get out of being arrested for drunk driving.
Is it in New York?
Is it like, I don't know.
And also when you said Susan Sarandon, I thought you meant she was playing herself.
I walked in in the middle, so she might be.
She probably was.
She was driving a Jaguar, so I don't know what she drives in real life.
Yeah, playing herself.
But I was like, oh, is this a thing on this show?
Is this an ongoing... I can't imagine either of you can answer this,
but is it an ongoing thing on Mike and Molly
that there's a celebrity under
arrest in the cold open yeah that it happens every week but it's a different celebrity yeah
yeah that would be good that would that's a great idea honestly i would watch other than i mean i
don't like cops but i would watch that what what did cops ever do nothing that's the problem so you saw House of Gucci
I saw House of Gucci it's lacking
I watched it
over two days
which is
spread that baby out
and the other thing
well it's summertime
and the weather is hot
the one thing I like to do in the summer is I bake pies.
And, buddy, I made a couple pies this week.
And they were so good.
That's kind of the whole thing.
Are you putting these things on windowsills or what?
Oh, man. If only there were. But the hobos around this neighborhood they're just they're constantly
flying around it's just like you see them floating on a trail of yes of smell yeah they've taken that
fish bones right out of your garbage can yeah sure that's my trash yeah um what did you
make what kind i made a blackberry okay nice and one i'd never made before peach oh because it's
oh they're so juicy oh yeah this pie was so, way too juicy. This was a big, wet pie.
This was a pie I had to, like, tilt over the drain.
Oh, well.
I feel like peaches, I've had this conversation before.
I am a nectarines over peaches guy any day.
Really throwing down a gauntlet here.
But you can't really make a nectarine pie.
Look. I feel like peaches only exist to be
Canned, pied, put on other things
You know, cobblers
I mean
I'll eat a peach
Sure, but is it good?
That's my question
I had a peach right before the podcast
And it was amazing, it was religious
I had the same experience with a nectarine
recently. I truly could not.
I've had nectarines.
Is a nectarine some kind of hybrid with a
peach and something else?
Where did a nectarine come from?
God.
Prants. Are there any other
peach hybrids that are like
am I thinking of something else?
Are you thinking of a pluot?
I'm definitely not. But I like that i think that was in wordle um but i yeah nectarine i'm i'm just suspicious of nectarines because i think i feel like they are
watching you well i feel like they're kind of they's sort of like um stealing a peach's valor
oh interesting but if but maybe i should you know reach out reach across the aisle but i feel like
the most ripe nectarine like even the most ripe peach has nothing on a perfectly ripe nectarine
see this is this is where we're gonna
have to go our separate ways this is where you're gonna have to leave the podcast i'm not educated
enough in nectarines uh is so in los angeles yeah um are these fruits available all the time
and like are they in season they're in season right now okay they're available all the time but they taste like
shit okay if you're not in season because they just never get like ripe or whatever yeah there's
like a two-week window where peaches are are yeah same with nectarines and i like grew up on them
too and i grew up on like canned peaches and stuff i think that's also why is the canning of the
peaches sets the bar way too high for like sweetness yeah and you never
can get to it from just the actual fruit itself but a nectarine i believe touches that okay
i mean i'm willing to try yeah i mean the window may be closing i mean you're right in there
you got to go to the store after this i know but i have so many peaches and dave's got pies to make that's his whole summer i'm uh what's your next pie gonna be
he's a pie man i don't know about the next pie i do have a uh crust i made it it's in the freezer
with the waiting i made five crusts last year and never made a pie. Oh no. Abby made quiches. So many quiches.
What's your favorite
pie to make, Dave?
Either one.
I like them all.
Is there a pie you don't like?
I wouldn't make
a cherry.
I'm suspicious of anything with a glaze
to it.
I made a key lime once that made,
it was an,
I ended up throwing up that night.
I don't blame the pie,
but I also.
Can't disconnect them in your head.
I don't want the pie again.
Yeah.
I also threw up probably three cans of peaches once.
Okay.
That would be perfect.
Well,
here we go in kind of sloopy.
Yeah. That's kind of a one-to-one and i just remember standing on a chair and all the adults were like cleaning it up
they were like stand up here because i just barfed everywhere had you were you standing
on a chair because you did a big like beer bong of canned peaches yeah they turn me upside down i did a peach stand um i get my peaches down in georgia
oh yeah i got mine in a can that are put there by a man oh that's true two famous peaches songs
um and uh so yeah that's what's going on with me the other thing that's going on is i'm
back like my my seven-year- old is sort of out of this
phase for a while.
Yeah man.
But my five year old is right in it.
I'm back to my
role as the tooth fairy.
Oh welcome
back. Oh this is why you need cash.
You gotta pay the lady.
You gotta pay the lady.
That's right. Just swipe her square that she has
the kid wakes up there's a qr code on her pillow what's this oh nothing
xoxo tooth fairy so i'm back to sneaking around waiting for the child to fall asleep sneaking
around but now i have the added thing of having to wait for the seven-year-old to fall asleep because she still believes.
Right.
So I have to like, it's, it's, it's, I'm the only one stressed out by this.
I just imagine you trying to sneak in and do this and not wake anybody up while also carrying two pies.
That's true.
I don't trust anybody around these pies.
I'm going to set down these pies.
I think a listener once had a suggestion that I started doing where where because the teeth are so tiny we we you you have
like we have these little kind of like um have you got some rings that came in like a silk tiny
little silk bag and we're like oh put the tooth in the silk bag and we have two of them two two silk bags so uh i put the money in the other one so i can just
swap the bags oh nice right nice nice little one too yeah yeah i thought you were gonna say that
you kept all of their teeth in one of these bags oh i have all the teeth you want any make a make
a maraca for uh their graduation or something my mom came over the other day and we were talking about it.
And apparently all of our teeth are like in the backyard of the old house.
She would just throw them out the window.
You see this cat with huge teeth?
Well, they're baby teeth.
I know, but you know, a cat's so small.
Big for a cat. A a pig on the other hand oh sure oh the tiniest chicken big teeth huge teeth yeah
huge teeth on a chicken yeah so so that's what i'm going that's what i'm back up to
okay what's what's going on with you?
Um,
uh,
river for the last couple episodes,
um,
a friend of the podcast,
Emmett Hall found, uh,
on Craigslist,
an ad for a guy named Desi.
It was,
uh,
advertising that he owned a pizzeria,
but basically what it was,
it was frozen pizzas that he would bake for
you and deliver at any time of the day yeah so if you're in all the pizza pizzerias of clothes
desi will cook a frozen pizza in his uh home wow and deliver it at three in the morning yeah three
in the morning did you have i asked do you have a choice of frozen pizza? You do.
Or is that Desi's description?
Oh, okay.
And on the website, there's no contact information.
Well, there is, but the only way to contact online is you press a button that says get quote.
So you have to get a quote for your pizza.
So I did that.
That was what I did last week.
Did you ever hear back?
No, I never heard back.
And then today, I found on the website a phone number.
So I tried to call the phone.
It was the Toronto area code.
Yeah.
It's just number one.
And I tried to call it and it said that it was only available by Skype.
So now we're in a danger zone that all of a sudden I've had to deal with Skype, which I haven't in forever.
Oh, they suck.
You're going to have to dig up your Skype password.
Oh, man.
I had to get it.
Booty, booty, doody.
You know, it sings you a little song while you're waiting.
Because we all love hold music.
Oh, yeah.
And Skype.
Skype was the king of the hold because it would just freeze up all the time
just on hold all the time yeah um so uh yeah it said you know only on skype so then skype
deserved to have its ass kicked by zoom as far as i'm concerned because they make it so hard they
they had to send my email to get my new password to my hotmail account which then i had to go into my gmail
account to figure out what the login for the hotmail account this is going on and on i buy
enough credit you have to buy credits to yeah i called call failed call failed call failed so
i don't i don't know that Desi's in business anymore.
So you did this today?
I did this today, yeah.
When you realized, oh, we're recording.
I've got to follow up this pizza story. I wanted to see if he would deliver earlier in the day.
I was going to wait until midnight or one in the morning,
but then I was like, I have to stay up until one in the morning,
and then longer for Desi to get in his car and bring it all desi before you go to bed
tonight call the number and see if it works at night okay because we have to check in on episode
751 yeah we have to stretch this into a fourth episode yeah this is uh it's important stuff it's
uh you know it's what the fans crave.
So I'm just giving them the content they want.
Delivered frozen pizzas.
Yeah.
What are your favorite frozen pizzas, you guys?
I like a Delicio.
Is that in the States, Delicio?
I don't think so.
I feel like we have that, but it's called something else.
Yeah.
We were confused about Delicio and DiGiorno.
They're the same company, but one's Canadian, one's American.
Yeah, that was going to be my guess with no other context clues but what you said.
So it's definitely that.
There is a local brand, but I don't know.
They sell them at Choices and Welks, and they're pretty good.
I like the Giuseppe ones.
There's like a little
off-market giuseppe i like that sounds very authentic yes it's muy authentic river are you
you vegan no well no i'm not i would not say that i'm vegan i have drastically reduced my dairy
intake but it's an age thing and not not like anything else um but i've been vegetarian
my whole life right i was like raised vegetarian i've never never eaten but you so you have had
frozen pizza i'm sure oh my god too much yeah i've had to like cut it out like i just don't
like dave coulier cut it out exactly yes precisely that is the only thing i do like dave coulier um my favorite is jacks
they're like two dollars tell me about jacks yeah we don't know if jacks they are a regional brand
i like uh posted about them because i i only experienced them when i moved to chicago so
it's like the chicagoland area so like wisconsin michigan indiana that kind of space
iowa a little bit um and like you can get them at 7-eleven and stuff and they're very like
cheap that's in air quotes but they're good they're like actually they like taste good
they don't taste like cardboard like it actually tastes like a it legit there are definitely
restaurants that i've gotten pizza at that taste similar to
that you know what i mean it's like there's a lot of variety to pizza out there when you buy it
um and so to me it's like one of my favorite pizzas period oh really because it's just so
simple and it tastes good you know yeah i um i think this guy was on to something i think like there's many times where
like 3 30 in the morning i want to eat something don't have anything in the house yeah not close
to any 24-hour store yeah and uh like easily i could eat a pizza at 3 30 in the morning why not
i wonder if the like like uber eats or um postmates if the if those drivers who stay up late clean up yeah like the ones who
are like i'm gonna i'm doing a i'm pulling a midnight to 4 a.m shift and i'm not in the u.s
anymore no i know he wants to work yeah no there's we like passed the thing and everything costs so much more now oh really we we passed
this thing called prop 22 in los angeles like a ride a lift ride which is not the same as like
uber eats or whatever but i think it affected everything like it's a hundred dollars one way
to go to the airport in a lift now oh wow what was it in a cab it used it's like 60 wow because
i've taken a cat like i got stuck at the airport
and was going to take a lift there there were no lifts and they were also like a hundred dollars
so i just took a cab wow and now i just drive my if i have to go if i'm going to the airport i just
drive and park and it's cheaper or the same amount you know yeah wow and you don't have to like wait
in a line or whatever i go everywhere on my electric unicycle
i wear knee pads and uh motorcycle gear mostly yeah yeah of course these leather jacket wallet
chain wallet chain sure yeah i mean it's dangerous yeah he wears dickies with flames on them yeah
you get caught in that one wheel yeah uh that one wheel is oh absolutely big old wheel it's tearing out
all the hair on the inside of my legs like like jinkos i saw a guy on one of those like single
wheel just electric guys who was so in control of it that he was able to unwrap something and
throw the garbage in a can without breaking like stride or even having to rebalance so people
who do it they look cool when people are doing it yeah i did see a guy on one of those i think
it was last night in the middle of the night like it was fully nighttime you know like post 9 p.m
um in all black like he was literally wearing all black the only lights on the thing were on the thing you know so
like down by the ground um maybe it was a celebrity and they didn't want to get caught during the day
you think it was blade it was jared leto um what uh have you ever ridden that or a hoverboard or
anything like one of those segue style things that just uses
your kind of body balance to go forward no machine wants to balance my body so all machines are like
you're on your own balance wise i one time right when hoverboards like like the hoverboard thing
that's the that's the thing with the wheels on the side right that like twists um i was doing a segment for you guys remember a friend of the show paul f tompkins
had a show called no you shut up oh yes and i was the first and only human correspondent oh right
oh wow um and i did a segment and they like i don't it was like you know when you're shooting
those things like so much stuff is happening and you're just trying to get whatever and we were shooting outside of the forum the old forum and so it's
just like a parking lot but not an active one so it's pretty gravelly and stuff and somebody was
like oh we're gonna get a hoverboard from snoop dogg or something like snoop dogg was like shooting
something i don't know it was just like so ridiculous right and then somebody shows up
with this hoverboard and i'm in a suit you know like i'm trying to it's like daily show style like i'm in a suit with like
dress shoes on and they're like just try it and i'm like i am gonna lose my teeth like this is not
that so that's my only experience i also really wanted to do it well but i couldn't i saw a mother
a mother son duo on one of those electric scooters today,
and that was pretty cute.
Yeah.
Was it like a full-size one or like a tiny one?
It was a full-size one, but no, it was a tiny one.
But I haven't seen that combo before.
Kid and mom riding around together.
Saving money.
I've never ridden one of those either.
Have you guys ridden those things?
No.
Yeah. They're not here yet. there's some company that does them well we have them we don't have the the rental ones uh yes that's right yeah you don't have that scourge now i i
diminish them but at this i i wish it's just you can't just introduce something like that to the
structure that we already have you know what i mean it's like it's such a great idea like the places that i've seen it where it's
like also a nightmare is like nashville or something like that you know where you're like
this makes a lot of sense to just have people on these things as opposed to 20 cabs coming
through here whatever but the cabs are still coming through so it's like just this nightmare
of like am i gonna watch a person die on a scooter right now?
Well, you got it at some point.
That's a rite of passage.
That's right, yeah.
If I was riding one of those scooters,
I would the whole time be singing to myself,
I get around, around, around, around, I get around.
I would be singing, way down in Kokomo, Aruba, Jamaica.
Oh, that's another one that tells you where you want to go.
Yes.
That's true.
Nice.
Nice.
Keylargo, Montego.
Do we want to move on to some overheards?

you hear something great out there share it and uh we always love to start with the guest river
would you please oh wait am i supposed to have an overheard yes oh man graham oh wow oh no i i
definitely mentioned that in the email i'm not i mean i'm not gonna look it back up
but i don't have one i'm okay that's okay no worries no worries hey man i wish i could think
of one hey i heard the rooster i just heard the rooster did you there you go that's my overheard
hear that rooster crocodile do um yeah that's a good overheard a rooster in the middle of the day rooster in the
middle of the day it passes i like it uh dave do you have an overheard yeah i was at iga your
independent grocer yeah and uh i i don't usually go there but if i can i. There's only a couple in town still. Yeah. And I was in the produce section.
Sorry, the rooster.
The rooster, yeah.
I guess he goes at 4 and 5.30.
Oh, sure, yeah.
And traffic on the one.
That's right.
But in the produce section, it had like salads.
Like there were just signs in every part of the produce section.
Yeah.
So it was like salad stuff and sliced fruit.
And then I noticed that there was one section that said tofu, the humble bean curd.
It takes its time.
It's not flashy.
I would say the tofu is pretty humble i'll say as a person who was
a raised vegetarian in the 1980s in akron ohio who ate tofu for lunch just cold cubed up it is
at least pretty humbling is it uh is that like a snack that you long for you have uh yeah i will still eat it like that
wow i couldn't do it a lot of people think i'm weird for that but i'm just like i don't know i
your body does crave protein you know but like you can get it from other things so i remember
seeing a friend of mine who was also vegetarian just like put his whole hand in a peanut butter
jar and just like shove peanut butter in his mouth because he just really needed protein in that moment so that's kind of the
way i feel about tofu is like i will just like eat like a i could eat a brick of it
yeah i i really like it well i mean if you do send us a video and i will i'll send you a video
at ohmygod.com yeah to af af yeah america's funniest foam video why hey why did america's funniest home videos
call themselves afv why what happened to the h oh yeah like is it just assumed that these are
home videos like it's too many letters they will not remember i don't understand like i don't like
the sound of a afhv well did it change when the hosts, when it went from Bob Saget to Tom Bergeron?
I feel like it changed to America's Funniest Videos.
It was never America's Funniest Videos.
I'm certain of it, but they did shorten it to AFV.
I feel like this might be some Mandela effect.
Are we talking about the bernstein bears right now
also called america's funniest on wikipedia america's funny tone videos also called
america's funniest videos abbreviated as afv and occasionally afhv i mean okay and it's weird
this doesn't satisfy anyone it's saying we're all right, which has to be wrong.
Yeah, that's right.
A consensus.
Um, I didn't remind you about the overheard.
That was my, that's on me.
Oh, that's all right.
Um, Dave, do you have an overheard?
Um, what?
I said, do you have an overheard?
Yeah, I had an overseen.
It was the humble bean curd.
Sorry.
It was literally, it was over curd.
Um, but as I'm
looking this up, I now see that
between Bob Saget and Tom Bergeron
there was a time when it was hosted by John
Fuglesang and Daisy Fuentes.
Who's John Fuglesang? They tried to make it
cool. I mean, they didn't
need to try.
They already had a good thing going.
You don't need to put a hat on a hat
graham do you have an overheard i do but who's john fuselzang
is he what is his name fusel fuselzang john fuselzang he's a comedian he's's like a MTV style pundit.
Oh, okay. I think he was on
VH1 a lot. That's what I remember
him from. He was one of
these guys. You remember these guys?
They would always deliver everything. It was like kind of Dennis
what's his name? Dennis Miller.
Dennis Miller style but like
left liberal or whatever.
For the listener river. Like music.
Bouncing his head around. music is bouncing his head around his head
around with a with one eyeball with one eye crooked you know hey um my overheard was uh
we've got these neat little plazas that are located uh very close to where i live and they're
just picnic tables and chairs and people can hang out and eat their lunch or have a coffee or
whatever and uh so i was in one and this happens in the plaza from time to time somebody will eat
there and leave all their trash behind which is very that episode of mad men where they just
flop it over yeah um so there was a guy there and he was, he couldn't find a place to sit, but there was a table that had a bunch of, uh, sushi paraphernalia.
And he, he's, he went to go sit in it and literally everyone around him said, oh, he's coming back.
He's coming back.
That guy's coming back.
And, uh, the guy said, yeah, well, when he comes back, he can take his garbage with him.
And then when the guy came back, he was like, oh, Larry is his next door neighbor.
So, yeah, they is his next door neighbor. So yeah,
they had a nice reunion.
Uh,
probably kind of sushi head babysitting your trash.
Hey,
cool trash.
Hey,
uh,
so I'm on the Wikipedia page for America's funniest home videos.
Okay.
Okay.
32 seasons of this show.
Wow.
745 episodes. We just beat them wow congratulations you guys thank you that's an incredible achievement and uh and only a few
of our episodes were hosted by john fugle saying and daisy fuentes daisy fuentes you almost had me saying fusel saying uh still saying and fusel saying to you
i do have an overheard that i just remembered
time ago i can throw it in there you bet because i was searching my memory for anything recent
that stuck out to me but i can't i just cannot think of anything but i do remember this um and it came up recently with a friend who who fell into a michael bolton moment uh via spotify
because she sent me like this playlist that came up for her you know how they do like the auto
generated things yeah and it was like so much like soul like shoday and like all this stuff and then just michael bolton like in the
middle of it and she loved it um and so my like big michael bolton experience was this so when i
was growing up in akron ohio it's still there it was there before i existed there's this restaurant
called luigi's um and it's uh it's italian and they have existed forever the the fun thing about them is that
during they're open during the week for like business people for lunch uh and you can get
like a slice and a salad and then it's open from 5 p.m i think they're closed from like 3 to 5
and then open from 5 p.m to in the morning. And then on the weekends,
it's the same thing except no daytime hours.
And they're open till three in the morning.
Okay.
So it's like a restaurant that is also a bar,
you know,
it's like very,
if you're under age,
it's like a cool,
you can be out super late,
you know?
Right.
I am so excited to find out where Michael Baldwin.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah,
exactly.
And they have like, when you first walk in,
there's, like, a bar that's never really being used,
and then a bunch of seats.
It's just, like, packed full of people all the time.
They used to have smoking sections and all that kind of stuff.
And on the walls, they have, like, bowling photos
and all these photos of, like, famous people that came in.
The only one that's actually famous outside of Akron, Ohio,
is there's a picture of Jay Leno, who came there came there like after a show he did at the Civic Theater, which when I met Jay Leno, he was like, hey, how you doing?
I don't know, whatever.
And I was like, oh, hi.
That's pretty good.
Thank you.
He's like, hey, where are you from?
And I was like, Akron, Ohio.
He goes, Civic Theater, 1991.
And I was like, what?
Like, he just remembered the show.
Wow. And i just immediately
saw that photograph where he like looks trash but i don't think he drinks you know he's like got his
arms around these two waitresses and his ties undone or whatever and it's just like the photo
that everybody looks at so anyway this is like what you walk into they have a jukebox uh that
still works and they have it's connected to a band box which is like an old 50s little uh
puppet thing that that a curtain will open and it plays along to the jukebox it's pretty cool
it's a neat thing uh it's so that's so well known that uh there's a do you guys know funky
winker bean yeah the comic strip yeah uh there's a restaurant that shows up in funky winker bean
is luigi's like it's the same
place oh it's based off of that so i'm i'm just trying to set the mood you're sure you have this
is and and like just a cross-section of every kind of person in town there would be cops there
at night and stuff like that which obviously wasn't into but just saying um and just like
filthy floor whatever they have salads and it's really just like a cheese pile with like oil on it you know it's like just just heaven you know just absolutely heaven um and you can get red pop
on the fountain so all this is to say i'm sitting in one of those front front word booths and
someone for some reason has decided to play michael bolton on the jukebox this is a rare occurrence i
this is not what is usually
played it's usually like journey and the cars and stuff like that and what year is this this would
be probably around 2000 or you know somewhere around there within within that little window
probably time not backwards but forwards yep uh and so i'm sitting there with one other person maybe and michael
bolton is playing which is funny you know you're like clearly commenting on like i can't believe
i'm listening to michael bolton right now and then this woman comes in who is like the only way i can
describe her is like a lake person you know like you know the lake vibe like harley lake vibe you
know not like polos and and boat shoes but like heart you drove the harley
to the lake to sit on the dock and drink or whatever that's who's coming in deb or whatever
crystal you know sure and she comes in and like looks around like clocks like a movie like like
she's a character in a movie and she clocks everything that's going on and then she hears michael bolton playing and she just like goes this is my kind of place and just like
snapping and dancing and i will never forget that for the rest of my life
oh man that was a good story well told yeah i had to paint the whole because it's not a lot
yeah so you need a lot of build-up that moment otherwise it's gonna fall pretty flat now that was great you said that the
pictures on the wall the only celebrity from out of town was jay leno are there local celebrities
that would be on the wall and who are they yeah i mean mostly the local celebrities consisted of
bowlers and uh local government is was this place attached to a bowling alley
no it's just like is akron a big bowling mecca actually it is it uh there was i think it's uh
fair lawn lanes or something fairway lanes in akron ohio would host one of the major
okay is it called meat i don't know what a bowling competition is called a bowling
meat yeah yeah chris whatever his what is the nerdest guy i can think of his dad hardwick
yeah hardwick his dad was like that big bowler and i remember seeing pictures of them in akron
wow at that at that bowling alley and it's literally just a bowling alley by the mall
or whatever you know but it was their first i uh
can't believe that they have photos up of local politicians yeah it's my alderman coming in yeah
like for real city council and like the ohio senator and stuff like that like people but it's
like a legit it's totally it's definitely up front but like it's also just this place that
like has just been around forever and when you go like in the summertime you know pre-pandemic times or something on a friday night
or a saturday night at 5 p.m there's a line out the door of people waiting to get in sounds like
my kind of place yeah this is my kind of place but to be fair michael bolton on the jukebox
i'm lake people yeah i'm a lake guy i mean no like shade or shame to that i just wanted to
to like oh sure great the character you know like very specifically that you know like a
a leather bag purse you know when you first had a lake person i was like
of like a creature from the lagoon that's what i was thinking too like seaweed hanging up
this is my little friend.
My little friend.
And then a guy in a scuba suit's walking behind.
Come back here.
Where are you going?
Now we also have overheard sent in to us from all over the place.
If you want to send one in, you can send it in to spy at maximum fun.org.
And this first one,
this one's a,
this one's got a good amount of story to it.
This is from Maggie in Washington state overheard.
Call this the RB.
I was attending.
I was telling my daughter's fourth grade of the year awards ceremony.
Each student who achieved principal's list or honor roll was called to the stage, handed their certificate, shook hands with the teacher and walked off stage back to the gym floor to sit down.
My daughter had just taken her seat and I noticed I was I was trying to get a photo of her when I noticed the girl in front of her.
trying to get a photo of her when i noticed the girl in front of her this girl tore her principal list certificate into four pieces and one by one scrunched them up put them in her mouth and
proceeded to eat the entire certificate in about five minutes was it a protest or was she just
bored yeah bored or sort of hungry maybe we're doing it for the first time. I don't know. Let's see if we can do this. You remember when you found out you could eat paper?
Yeah.
Like, thought in a movie or something.
You're like, I'm going to do that.
I'm going to be that kid.
Thought in a movie or something.
You know?
I think the inspiration was right in front of me.
Yeah.
I didn't like swallowing it, but I would chew it up a lot.
Yeah, I'd chew it.
I'd chew that.
I'd chew pens.
I didn't ever chew an eraser, but I thought about it.
Pencil.
I chewed on some erasers, but only the ones on the pencils.
And then you get the metal part and you'd be like, ah, shit.
Oh, the metal part.
I loved it.
Folding over that metal part.
Oh, yeah.
Danger zone, though.
Yeah.
Talk about Top Gun.
Danger zone.
I forgot to tell you guys how much I love the new Top Gun.
Is it really good?
I loved it.
Okay.
I've heard nothing but good things, but I have not made time to see it.
Oh, man, I highly recommend.
And if you can still see it, I missed the 4DX screenings,
and I'm really bummed about it.
It'll come back.
They're seasonal.
Yeah, they'll do that.
They'll come back around.
They'll make more money off of it.
Did your screening have Tom Cruise come out before and talk about it?
Mm-hmm.
I've heard that that's a whole vibe.
It's a whole vibe.
Hi, everybody.
I'm Tom Cruise.
Thanks for coming to my film.
Hi.
I don't know if you guys know me, but I'm Tom Cruise, the star of this movie that you've
come to see.
Yeah.

I'm a famous Scientologist.
This is not the most Scientologist movie you'll ever see, though. That would be Look Who's the star of this movie that you've come to see? Yeah. I'm a Scientologist. I'm a famous Scientologist.
This is not the most Scientologist movie you'll ever see though.
That would be look who's talking.

BC overheard at the information desk of the confederation center art gallery in Charlottetown,
PEI woman is standing facing a huge exhibition
space filled with paintings photographs drawings sculpture and she asks is there any part of this
art gallery that's actually art by professional artists oh whoa yeah really uh thrown thrown
down there my god wow that I mean, was there?

this last one comes from Luke
in Nashville Tennessee
in Nashville we have a dish called
hot chicken that can get really
spicy clever name I was at a brewery In Nashville, we have a dish called hot chicken that can get really spicy.
Clever name.
I was at a brewery. I like these names you don't have to think about.
You're throwing me off the scent there.
What am I getting with this?
I mean, I should hope it's hot.
I'm asking for cooked chicken.
I was at a brewery at a big table with some strangers.
A young lady ordered hot chicken and waffles and was visibly stressed about the heat level.
Her mother tells the table she's sensitive to spice.
And the girl said, no, I'm not.
I've had Chipotle.
Oh, my God.
The whitest thing I've ever heard.
That's very white.
Isn't everyone sensitive to spice?
Like, in some regard?
I don't know.
Like, is it because people that eat
really spicy stuff does that i always thought that it just doesn't bother them well it as i used to
drown my food in hot sauce i had like a good period of like five or six years where like a
frozen pizza would just be covered it would be red you know with like not the hot not like ghost
pepper hot sauce but like hot sauce you, a lot of Frank's or whatever.
And it does like blow out your taste buds, you know?
Yeah.
At least that was my experience.
I mean, it blows out someone else.
Yeah, that's for sure.

Wow.
He raced to get Dracula.
