Starting point is 00:08:31 I'm Rick Martel. I'm Jake. Not Jake. The snake. Jake was like, I can. Ravishing Rick Rude. I can do more drugs and steroids than anybody. So why is Ric F still uh going on wrestling he's very he's
Starting point is 00:08:48 a very old man at this point yeah he also like died i don't know that was crazy i didn't watch it like i was doing a show just for laughs last night like i didn't watch the uh i was just like nope but i did come home and scroll through twitter and that's what i like to do for wrestling now did you uh he went on a on a speaking tour where he like told old stories about wrestling did you see that when he was touring around rick flair yeah did he yeah i saw him in vancouver and it it was really like an old man how like he was looking for details that didn't matter to the story he just kept making the stories longer and he had jimmy the mouth of the south heart was there kind of moderating and he kept saying had jimmy the mouth of the south heart was there
Starting point is 00:09:25 kind of moderating and he kept saying to jimmy he was like how how tall was he he was probably like six six two six three and like get on with this i do know that um about six years ago he let it out that he had sex with hallie berry and um so he said she wanted to tell everyone, but he was keeping it a secret. Yeah. So he let he said on a podcast that he had sex with Halle Berry and then TMZ went and asked Halle Berry and then she said
Starting point is 00:09:56 who's Ric Flair, right? And then which made Ric Flair say, come on. Come on. It turns out he had had sex with Chuck Berry. Everybody knows who Ric Flair say, come on. Come on. It turns out he had had sex with Chuck Berry. Everybody knows who Ric Flair is. So, yeah. Good for him.
Starting point is 00:10:11 That's probably why he used to... Like a modern day Moby, where he said that he slept with Natalie Portman. That's right. Did he? Oh my goodness, Moby. He said he did, but she said no. She said, don't say that anymore. Don't talk about that. Don't talk about that don't talk about me get your name out get my name out of your mouth yeah um
Starting point is 00:10:31 i wouldn't want to be slapped by natalie portman she's had proper training on some films some star wars films oh yeah she can lift majoliner yeah so that's right like you know what i mean i don't want to get slapped by that it's like who's majoliner i'm talking about wilder it's a it's a it's a fragrance dave you know like dracar or something like it's something we wore in the 90s you would put majoliner on your neck and just feel real good about yourself as you that's where you want to be kissed by natalie portman hey natalie portman i mean you smell like that why would you say something that's so easily disprovable like why would you i don't get it well it's not disprovable uh what did they had a date or whatever yeah well yeah i guess they could all be lying.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Is that what you're saying? Like, you could be telling the truth. Well, it's like, you can prove, you can, you can't disprove something that didn't happen. That's right. Or what, like, I forget what it is. But like, How do you know I didn't,
Starting point is 00:11:37 you bed, Halle Berry. Here's the way I know. I take photos of every date I was ever on. We do a nice fashion shoot holding up today's newspaper. Oh, like Chuck Berry. As a man who slept with three women before meeting my wife 17 years ago, I'm very worried that someone's going to talk to one of those three women.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And those women are Claudia Schia schiffer no no she wouldn't have no i'm like she wouldn't do that um uh you've been together with your your wife 17 years that's a long stretch yeah married the like married seven married from day one we got married married from day one the minute i met her i was like you're marrying me let's get it was great you put the shotgun in her face a shotgun wedding is isn't usually the man yeah it isn't usually the groom going up with somebody with a shotgun we're getting married is that usually the father of the bride because he's knocked her up
Starting point is 00:12:46 I didn't know that I didn't knock her up for like 13 years nice how long have you and Abby been together total time 22 years 22 years more than half my life

You know everything about each other. What if you don't? What if there's a... Well, she doesn't know about me and Halle Berry. And neither does Halle Berry.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Who saved Shumka? I get that a lot. Yeah, so I met my wife through, I got a referral from other women and like, yeah, this guy doesn't seem terrible. And then we started dating. And then 10 years later we got married.
Starting point is 00:13:36 And then three or four years, we had our first kid and then they had a global pandemic. And then my wife and i had another baby during we had a lockdown baby named freddie oh nice freddie's a good name that's fun um i'm surprised that when i hear stories like that because like for me i mean we were we were pretty sure we were going to stop it too anyway but like uh having a global pandemic was like the the that really sealed it like i do not want yeah like the the the idea of having more people locked down in this house also if the is there anything less
Starting point is 00:14:18 sexy than a pandemic like a pandemic can really uh soften up well we didn't do anything we just locked in and just drank too much wine and all of a sudden there was a baby that's amore like we didn't make bread we didn't make DJ playlists like you do out there in Vancouver it's Montreal man
Starting point is 00:14:39 we make love we make love out here we're not like time to make my DJ playlist time to make my sourdough we did make a lot of DJ playlists after this show I'm going to make a Disney punk playlist yeah

So that's something to dip my toe into. Anyways, you guys. What's your favorite Disney song, Graham?

Starting point is 00:15:46 It's not. Sorry. I love Show Yourself. What a killer song. Is that from Frozen 2? It's from Frozen 2. It's when she finally gets to Ahtohallan, and then she realizes that water has memory, and then the memories that are calling her are the memories of her mother.
Starting point is 00:16:02 And then she gets the new dress. Because, you know, there's a new dress I have a girl by the way I have a five year old girl so like there's a new dress and she becomes the snow queen I love the idea of this in a corporate headquarter boardroom and somebody's saying like and then the
Starting point is 00:16:17 water has memory okay it's an out of Holland guy there's a six part like there's a frozen two documentary making a frozen two like i was on another french podcast they're like have you seen the have you talked about let's talk about bill cosby and i'm like have you watched six hours of the making of frozen two with your five-year-old i have is is the have you watched frozen 2 in french no okay no i haven't um do you your does your daughter uh does she speak french as well no she doesn't we we were originally in uh
Starting point is 00:16:55 french daycare and then uh there was a pandemic that we pulled her out that we moved to the west ireland which is super english and now she goes to english uh pre-kindergarten so this is in montreal if we didn't mention yes yeah yeah i live in montreal where everybody's french but i was in uh french toy story 4 weird oh yeah i'm in the french version i play keanu reeves's oh really yeah oh that's awesome yeah duke kaboom yeah so a, and it's very funny. I have a terrible French accent. You know, and I'm like a Canadian stunt driver. But because it's in French, you can have a guy with a big
Starting point is 00:17:32 accent do it. So it's quite great. I mean, they prefer it. Yeah, they were just like, it was like a secret. They were like, hey, you're going in for Thundercat, the movie. And then they brought me in. They're like, hey, Mike, sign this. It's Toy Story 4. They're like, hey, Mike. Sign this. It's Toy Story 4. They're like, yeah, sign this.
Starting point is 00:17:48 You're in Toy Story 4. And I was like, what? And you're like, what about Thundercats? I was going to be in Thundercats. It was Thundercat, or no, Thunderbird or something. It was like a secret. They were like, don't tell your agent. And I immediately called my agent. Do you think there's any
Starting point is 00:18:04 actor out there that demands that they are all the different languages and they just have the lines said to them phonetically? So I will be in every language. It would be so hard. I don't think Keanu Reeves wants to do that. I think Keanu Reeves has better things to do
Starting point is 00:18:19 than to voice the North American version of Toy Story 4. What's your favorite thing about Keanu Reeves? I like that I've heard that he, on The Matrix, he bought everybody a motorcycle. Which is a pretty cool thing to have and or just a good story to have before you sell a motorcycle. I like how good Keanu Reeves is acting with tennis balls. So, oh, yeah, yeah. He's one of the first people that wasn't mad that there was a tennis ball doing the lines.
Starting point is 00:18:52 So I remember listening. So he was really good about like, hey, deliver all your lines to this tennis ball in front of a green screen. He's like, no problem. And then I've been on set with people being really mad that they're talking to a tennis ball and then I was like Keanu Reeves wouldn't be mad at a tennis ball so that's why I like him what makes you so freaking special I like the
Starting point is 00:19:13 I've seen the pictures of him posing with fans and he's got their arm around them but he's not touching them yes that's what I would do yeah that's true because yeah I feel like if he ever ran for office they'd zoom in on him touching somebody and be like do you want this perv you know i i sometimes pose for stuff and i don't touch either because i don't know what to do and it's like
Starting point is 00:19:38 usually like uh like a woman and i'm like oh no what's my wife gonna say i can't touch a woman i've only ever touched four yes what do you do how do you operate this what is that a shoulder is she pregnant now oh god did i get her pregnant by shaking her head oh man um you you do a bunch of voiceover stuff right i do what uh what always in french or something no i'm in english i have a video game out on all platforms called uh roller champions it's roller derby and uh i'm the announcer yeah it's killer and they're trying to replace rocket league and i don't know what rocket league is rocket league the one that's like a, it's like soccer, but you're a car. Yes. It's like teams of cars
Starting point is 00:20:27 are trying to get a ball into a big arena net. Yeah. And then this is like Roller Champions is Roller Derby, and then you get together with two people from like the middle of anywhere else in the world. Then you play Roller Derby against each other and try and throw a
Starting point is 00:20:44 ball into a hoop. Nice. Last week, I remember I saw a new game called Stray came out. I want to play that. You're just a cat. I can't wait to ignore my cat, my real cat, and play Stray. And he'll just be like, no. I'm like, I'm trying to play this game

Starting point is 00:42:36 And Danny Glover was 15 years after he was too old for this shit and used a weapon. And now he was too old for that, and then a Predator And now he was too old for that. And then a predator comes. It was the best. I love that's my favorite one. What was the third one? Mike predators, predators.

We had a, today is the first day where it feels like running the air conditioning is winning. It was like fighting with the heat for a long time. And today it's like, okay, air conditioning is winning. Yeah.

Uh, the dogs are into it, but not like crazy about it. They're like, they're not freaked out by going in the ocean. It was nice. Cause like you, you, the, I don't know how tides work, but they seem to come in every day at about five.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Something with the moon. I think it's the moon. But it's not the same every day. I guess it's because the moon isn't like exactly 28 days. Yeah. There's some kind of station on the moon that pulls up the water. Yeah. They have a, they have a guy there who.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and so the day before we left, I went to, there's a couple of places I go to, to look for puzzles and I didn't find the puzzles I liked.

Then I have a juice bottle that I've taken the top of, and then he puts all the markers in the juice bottle that doesn't have juice in it. Then I pour all the markers out, then he puts them back in again that sounds pretty good that's challenging yeah not easy he's really good at it i don't think i get it um so i the the day before we left i was like okay i'm gonna get a puzzle and i go to these a couple stores that i know that i always get puzzles that they didn't have what i wanted and then I noticed that there's a toy store in our neighborhood that I walk past every day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Caboodles. Um, and they, uh, in the window of this toy store, there was a Garfield puzzle and it's, I've been staring at it for months and I was like, I'll just buy this Garfield puzzle.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Yeah. And the only thing, the only trade off can't do it on Monday. Yeah. Um, and the, uh, The only thing, the only trade-off Can't do it on Monday Yeah! Exactly And the Let me tell you the story of this puzzle So it's
Starting point is 00:52:15 Well, first of all, it was in the window of this Of the toy store Of Kaboodles Are they sponsoring this episode? Kaboodles is not um yeah this episode is sponsored by target get all your weird uh shirts and hats there and also costco get your weird shirts and also a bad sweater yes um but they they had uh it was in the window of the store and so and i had to like i i went to the store and I kind of browsed their puzzles.
Starting point is 00:52:49 And I was like, I really want the one in the window to like reach through all the other puzzles and pull this one out. And it was so, the box was so sun bleached. I was like, this isn't going to be a good guide for when I actually do the puzzle. But it's the, the scene was garfield or dogs playing poker okay od's playing poker no no od just a bunch of realistic looking dogs and then cartoon garfield at the front of the frame holding up five aces garfield's done it he's obviously cheating he's he's a he's a known cheater known cheater he's about to get uh shot in the face but it's only known for like two things hating mondays and liking lasagna oh he loves lasagna he doesn't like normal that's the
Starting point is 00:53:38 that's yeah he doesn't like od doesn't like yeah he doesn't like od doesn't like john very much i don't think yeah okay he's known for five things three of them are disliking three separate entities like i read so many garfields when i was a kid like my kids would find it so boring like yeah yeah there's nothing going on yeah because it's usually three going on panels and the panels there's nothing in the background they don't do background only foreground my kids like this this uh comic strip that we have books i've called cat wad yeah okay which is very garfield-esque but not as funny i gotta i gotta go to bat for garfield in this one but not as funny i gotta i gotta go to bat for garfield in this one would you show your kids garfield and see if they like no i will not until they're 18 on their wedding night i had a garfield
Starting point is 00:54:33 joke for a while because um my joke was um you know tim hortons got uh lasagna you know tim hortons got lasagna before uh tim hortons was full of fat white people now it's gonna be full of fat orange cats um and then i i was on a french um kind of like show on music plus which is like mtv but shitty um yeah so like we have uh uh shitty yeah we'd have uh you'd have what's her name Mitsu would you have Roch Vazine was he big in high rotation it was a French show where we would watch
Starting point is 00:55:17 videos and like we'd watch a Metallica video and there would be like some old man and they'd say James Hetfield and he'd be like I'm James Hetfield'd say, James Hetfield. And he'd be like, I'm James Hetfield. And I was the announcer of the show, but I always had to tell a joke. And I told that joke to the host and he had no idea who Garfield
Starting point is 00:55:34 was. And he yelled at me and it was great. He was just like, Garfield. And somebody would be like, he was very mad at the Anglophone for bringing up an Anglophone and then we're like, all right, let's start the show. And that was in the show.
Starting point is 00:55:50 It's really great. Wow. Speaking of which, Garfield phone, right? Yeah. The thing that you wanted the most as a kid. Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. Heathcliff. The Garfield phone was what didn't they discover like a shipping container for all the
Starting point is 00:56:07 garfield phones a couple years ago no did they like a like a dead stock garfield phones just been sitting there oh my god anyway so i get this puzzle yeah all right yes back to the yeah and this is this is like my night oh actually you know what it was my daytime and nighttime activity um where's dave you know he's in the where's it's more where's dad he's doing that weird cat puzzle that cat we don't understand that cat that's not funny puzzle um and uh this is the first time oh you know what last time actually never mind last time i went to Abby's parents' place, I didn't finish the puzzle. Right. And I just gave up and I left it there.
Starting point is 00:56:54 But this puzzle was very hard. And I also did. The Garfield one? Yeah, the Garfield one was very hard because there's so many, like, the realistic dogs that are painted. Painted ones are just like, there's so many so like the realistic dogs that are painted painted ones are just like there's so many textures right the whole outside of it was a picture frame so it's all the same oh yeah colors along the outside so that took a whole day wow and then the uh the dogs the the the textures of the fur looks so similar.
Starting point is 00:57:27 So I did not finish this puzzle, but I got far, far enough. And I liked it enough that I, I did something that I've never done before. I packed it up in like almost finished pieces and put it back in the container and brought it home. And I'm going to finish this puzzle at home. You don't have a RoloPuzz? I actually do, but I don't like the texture of it because it's hard to slide the pieces along it. Now, we all know what a RoloPuzz is,
Starting point is 00:58:00 but maybe for the listener. It's the sponsor of the show this week. Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to keep your puzzle in uh the almost done form uh you get a rollo puzzle you put the puzzle on the form you can roll it up in a texture that dave doesn't like i mean isn't it like a green felt yes do you does your wife have one yes my wife does my wife is a was a puzzler keep her mouth out of my name um but uh i'd i'd prefer to do mine on just like a flat um uh board sure that i can pick up and move but not this time you asked me before if i liked puzzling and i actually um one recent development over the past month and a half is over the past couple of years, I realized that I don't like puzzles.
Starting point is 00:58:49 I actually don't like reading books anymore. And then a couple of months ago, I just realized that things were fuzzy and I couldn't see things properly. So I was obviously dying. And I have a brain aneurysm that's forming in my brain but turns out i need reading glasses oh yeah so it took me a long time so i actually might like puzzles now that i bought my costco reading glasses so i might like costco does it all holy costco that's why they're a sponsor of the show like graham when you go to costco you need glasses i get get several pairs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:26 I get one giant pair, but I actually might like one giant pair of glasses. One giant lens or you and your wife just have to hold up the glasses together. Graham, how's your wife? How's my wife? She's all right. Real puzzler.
Starting point is 00:59:41 She's a real puzzler. But because I, yeah, my wife was just like, you're not dying. You probably have, you probably need reading glasses. Real puzzler. She's a real puzzler. But because I, yeah, my wife was just like, you're not dying. You probably have, you probably need reading glasses. And I did. So I'm not dead.
Starting point is 00:59:51 So you got them and you weren't like, no, I'm still dying. I got them. But I'm like, oh, I can read again. This is weird. I just thought I didn't like reading as much because I kept like, I was trying to read like the Judas Priest autobiography. And I was just like, I don't like this. I don't like uh the judas priest uh autobiography and i was just like i don't like this i don't like this i wish this was about a an orange cat yes exactly i wish this was three panels of lasagna and then you go to like two panels with lasagna then the third one
Starting point is 01:00:16 where's the lasagna now you guys boy i wish we could go we could mention garfield without mentioning this you guys did you ever read the Garfield or John Drinks Jizz? Yeah, it was one of my all-time faves. It's a really good one. Do you not know it? No.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Is that really a thing? No, I don't know. I'm just going to pull it up so I get it right. Here's the first panel. John, they're the vet and beautiful woman veterinarian.
Starting point is 01:01:08 She's holding Garfield and John says, and John is picking up a cup and he says, have a cup of coffee, John. Thanks. Don't mind if I do. And then he drinks this cup and the vet says uh congratulations mr arbuckle you're gonna give birth to a fine healthy litter of puppies oh no and garfield says i hate puppies so it's dog jizz to me to confirm what a narcissist like garfield doesn't even care that his owner drank jizz and he's just like i don't how does this affect me i thought you were gonna say john was a narcissist just
Starting point is 01:01:50 assuming this cup of dog semen is his coffee right of course that's true they're all narcissists now if this if he's drinking coffee then what am i what am i jizzing into yeah i side note sidebar uh but i was just remembering one like and when i lived in when i went to college i lived in the dorms and like the getting delivery food was, it never happened. There was a place in Victoria, uh, where the, a guy came to campus and delivered pizzas,

Starting point is 01:06:30 uh, and Mr. Field, um, first name, car, last name, field,
Starting point is 01:06:37 middle name, orange cat. Um, yeah, I, what's up with you? I spent a lot of time sweating it out, sweating it out. And the real, like, what's the, there's a movie, is it Do the Right Thing, where everything's like super hot? No, it's.
Starting point is 01:06:59 It is Do the Right Thing. Yeah, it's super hot. But there's another one I'm thinking of that was about Son of Sam. Summer of Sam? Is it Predator 2? Yeah, Summer of Sam. Is it there's another one I'm thinking of that was about Son of Sam. Summer of Sam? Is it Predator 2? Yeah, Summer of Sam. Is it Predator 2 with Danny Glover? It's hot for this shit.
Starting point is 01:07:12 But the Predator only fights in hot environments, so it's like the hottest time in LA. Oh, yeah, that's true. I've never seen him in a cold, cold climate. His apparatus wouldn't. It would just be all metal and seizing up and up. No, he did go in Aliens vs. Predator. He went to the Arctic. And then did he go to Manhattan?
Starting point is 01:07:31 I guess he didn't. No, he went to Los Angeles. That was Jason. That was Jason or the Muppet. The Great Predator Caper. So you were thinking of the Summer of Sam movie with uh john lugisiamo yeah lugisiamo heck of a movie yeah i just remember it being hot it was good was that spike lee as well
Starting point is 01:07:55 oh i don't know that i don't what are the best like hot movies of all time well there's those two there's the smooth video uh featuring santana and rob thomas um there's uh i feel like yeah cocoon is probably hot i feel like chinatown's pretty steamy it's los angeles it's kind of hot he's kind of blotting their forehead oh anything that takes place in louisiana like uh you know like a uh grisham john grisham book that was hot oh the volcano erupting with man rango's pretty hot rango's hot oh yeah yeah absolutely um yeah the uh uh i forgot what i was gonna say but it was gonna be good be good. Anyways, I sweated out and I think
Starting point is 01:08:47 I probably lost a pound or two. But then I did something real heavy. You know what? I was just thinking about this movie lately. It's your dad's favorite movie, Graham.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Oh, not Cool Hand Lukeke it's cool hand it's cool hand luke okay yeah uh and there's a scene where the the prisoners are all they're like on a chain gang and they're like digging a ditch or something yeah and right next to them is a woman a sexy lady washing her car yeah they're all like asking permission to wipe their foreheads from the the guy running the chain gang from the horny sweat yeah from the horny sweat and like i need to take a drink um i uh watched uh of mice and men i watched a part of it and there's i wonder if that's where the horny farmer's daughter thing came from or if it's just the john malkovich with the mike's friend
Starting point is 01:09:51 john malkovich yeah and uh and uh a tiny gary sinise okay and uh that right away as soon as they come to the the farm to work she's on them right away the first day they're in the bunkhouse who plays her i've never seen her before before or again but uh the like do you think that that's just something that's always been around since like farms or is that something like that trope of the the gal on the farm that uh trying to seduce a traveler or a farm hand or something like that feels like as old as time right oh it's sherilyn fenn from um twin peaks uh yes um anyways so i was in a movie with sherilyn fenn well one swindle i've been in so many movies that nobody's seen it was tom sizemore dave foley and i played an elvis impersonator bad guy that tells tom
Starting point is 01:10:55 sizemore like this is where everything is you want to get in you want to get in this car you want to get in this car game and then tom sizemore is in deep cover he's a cop is he also a bad guy no he was a good guy pretending to be a bad guy coming into the bad guys to get all the bad guys because tom sizemore has to be a bad guy dave foley was the bad guy it was awesome he was like a real spoiler alert swindle spoiler alert yeah yeah this movie that nobody saw in 2001. Nobody cared about. Yeah. But Sherilyn Fenn was really nice.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Yeah. Well, I'm happy to hear it. She was in Boxing Helena. Yeah. Terrible. They boxed her. Yeah, they boxed her. The guy from Arachnophobia boxed her.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Yes. I'm going to put you in a box. Don't put me in a box. What was the plot of that? She was in a box. He cut her arms and legs off. I haven't seen it. It was much like the first two Predators. I haven't seen it. Have you seen Boxing Helena
Starting point is 01:12:02 2? The unboxing. Danny Glover getting boxed. I haven't seen it. Have you seen Boxing Helena 2? It's terrible. Danny Glover? Danny Glover getting boxed. Anyway, Graham, you were going somewhere. I'm so sorry. I'm the worst podcast guest of all time. No, that's not true. Not by a country mile.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Oh, it was great! To us, you're the seductive farm girl to our farm hands which is that what you want to talk about was the trope how long it was of mice and men no no no uh no also i i managed to skip town for a couple days before the heat wave started and i came back exactly when it started but i went on an island and I didn't bring any underwear with me so I had to go buy underwear on the way
Starting point is 01:12:50 and there's a store that I don't know if you guys would be familiar with it used to be everywhere how long were you away just a couple days do you make a list of what to pack this is not how your brain works
Starting point is 01:13:05 no i uh i'm usually perfect at packing but this time i was uh i was doing it like last last minute so i just i threw in things that i definitely wasn't gonna use like the same as you like a rain jacket and a pair of pants like what the hell but uh forgot underwear so had to buy some underwear and uh it's tough when you're because you know what underwear do you wear i wear uh extra husky okay and it's gonna be a reinforced waistband because there's so much hair down there there's as much hair down there as is on his face so it's like extra husky just like it gives a nice comfort from where all the hair yeah yeah um it's got special tuck technology it's called a crotch beard yeah thank you you're welcome nobody talks about crotch beard but if
Starting point is 01:14:00 you're if you're in a big city and you don't pack any underwear, you just go to the next whatever. You go to the Target, you go to the Costco, whatever you get. But on an island, they don't have that kind of stuff. But luckily, they had a store that I thought had completely vanished off the face of the earth. You can only find them in small towns. It's called Fields. Have you ever been to Fields? I thought you were going to fields i was i thought you were gonna say san i love the sand it's like sand feels like sand yeah it's like kind of like an
Starting point is 01:14:32 upscale what would you say like an upscale kind of army and navy yeah army and navy mixed with like a dollar store sure kind of like everything had clothes but they also have like just random things i bought a huge birthday card like a huge novelty birthday card okay because i've never seen one before i've used it as underwear yeah so i just cut some like things it isn't worth it birthday was where my my crotch beard was the only brand of underwear slash socks that they had were haynes which i don't think i've ever owned a haynes oh they're they're good yeah they are i liked what i got yeah i thought you're gonna say fruit of the loom oh yeah i guess that's kind of haynes fruit of the loom honestly i couldn't tell yeah it's the same company yeah um no i got a uh nice uh package
Starting point is 01:15:28 of underwear bought some socks too while i was there giant uh birthday card you ever get like a package of underwear in like like a haynes uh from the store that that's in plastic and it's resealable yes like that that's gonna be the right way to put them back in. I'll see you at Christmas. You say, and you put them in the drawer. Yeah. And also,
Starting point is 01:15:55 uh, there's always a picture of a dude on the box and he, they don't have to show how ripped he is. They could just show a waist down, but what? Oh, they go a couple of inches above just to show how ripped he is they could just show a waist down but what no they go a couple inches above just to show how ripped this guy was c-word gutters yeah um the uh it's weird that they only size it by waist they don't like there's no dong yeah yeah exactly
Starting point is 01:16:20 what's uh what dong size are you well probably extra large i guess are we talking flaccid girl we talking flaccid um so i went to a fields which i like honestly it was like if i found out that there was still a zellers somewhere just like operating independently and then i realized the last time i had been in a field, probably like 15 years ago, also there to buy underwear. That's the only other time I've been. I know the island you're at. Salt Spring Island. Salt Spring Island.
Starting point is 01:16:52 And I just Googled Salt Spring Fields. When you said they had a field, I assumed it had been there since 1974. That's what i imagine too but when i just googled it it said salt spring field store set to open this summer on an article dated may 4th 2021 they're still opening fields they're like where can we penetrate the market yeah where where are people most likely to forget underwear and also have a company christmas or birthday party they're going to who's got a funny aunt yeah uh anyways uh i just uh was glad to meet up with my old friend fields i'm glad they're
Starting point is 01:17:37 still producing uh uh you know shops and uh i wish them nothing but the best mike uh are you born and raised in montreal uh i moved around a lot i was born in montreal but i also lived in uh boston indiana california santa cruz california and all sorts of my parents were crazy what did your parents do that around i don't know they just kept like chasing a dream they're like maybe we can get something over here maybe we can you know so it's kind of hard so it's kind of like yeah so they were they were where did your parents end up uh back in montreal but in like a suburb of montreal like in the north what um what was the uh is there like a that kind of store in montreal oh yeah absolutely what's it called uh there's a few of them there's something called crotto pretty good let's go to crotto yeah rossi was another one oh yeah i've heard of rossi same things you know but like yeah and uh yeah

Starting point is 01:19:44 You can get them. Do you guys want to move on to a bit of business? Sure. Hey, it's John Moe, host of Depress Mode, a podcast about people's mental health journeys. Guess who we got? Guess who? It's Jamie Lee Curtis. I look at life now as the game of guess who, which is simply the process of elimination.
Starting point is 01:20:07 I know what I don't like. That's how I found out who I am. Jamie Lee Curtis on addiction, show business, and fooling people. All on Depresh Mode from Maximum Fun, wherever you get your podcasts. Well, Manolo, we have a show to promote. It's called Dr. Game Show.

Starting point is 01:20:36 New episodes happen every other Wednesday on MaximumFun.org. It's a fast and loose oasis of absurd innocence and naivete are you writing a poem no and just saying things from my memory and uh it's a nice break from reality is that are we allowed to say that i don't know it sounds bad it comes with a 100 happiness guarantee it does not come for the games and stay for the chaos. Overheard. Overheard segment. You know, a lot of times in life, you're sitting close enough to a person to hear what they're talking about.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Or maybe they're talking really loud and you're sitting far away from them. But either way, you hear what they're talking about. Or maybe they're talking really loud and you're sitting far away from them. But either way, you hear what they're saying and sometimes it's funny. And when it is, we want it here on this show. If you have a good one, you can send it in to sby at maximumfund.org. We always like to start with the guest. Mike, will you please lead the
Starting point is 01:21:38 charge of the overheards? It's not something I overheard. It's something that was texted to me by my dad. Now, my mom and dad are divorced um but how many moves yeah so yeah so many moves so like my dad is in uh residence right now and he was uh this is something that uh i overheard my dad texting me it's like at my age it's difficult for me to say that i have a girlfriend because to me, that means that I have a solid relationship that is romantic. But to me, saying that I have a lady friend seems more casual
Starting point is 01:22:14 and we wouldn't even hold hands or live together. And I can have several lady friends, but it would be unhealthy to have more than one girlfriend. I do have an eight-year-old friendship with Julie, but I call her my lady friend. Although we go on dates, I will have to see how it works out with my new friend, Michelle. I have a tentative rendezvous with her tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:22:37 I can't wait to see her again. So this is the kind of information I'm getting from my dad. And I don't think he understands the wrong name who is well it's uh how old is your dad 78 and he is fighting off these women i guess so what did you does he text you a lot uh yeah he used to email me a lot. And then I stopped looking at his emails because they'd be like, there's like a weather pattern or, you know, like they'd be like this like inundation of emails. So like the texts are the really important things that he wants. Okay.
Starting point is 01:23:15 That is important. Yeah. Yeah. About having a lady friend. I find that people of a certain age don't know how to keep it. Like know that a text is like supposed to be five words yeah they yeah they think of text as an email yeah and they sign it at the end xoxo your dad yeah your dad your dad the pussy head what um what uh so does is one of them a girlfriend i don't know i have no idea what he's talking about
Starting point is 01:23:47 we like the uh the uh if you if you scroll up the text on my phone if you know my my phone up my um he was talking about like french people have a blown do you know they're like my blonde is that girlfriend yeah girlfriend it's it's my chum. So I had to explain to him what a blonde was. And isn't that derogatory? Because she doesn't have blonde hair. And I'm just like, you've been living in Quebec forever. So that was the text before that. He's like, I don't like saying
Starting point is 01:24:16 girlfriend. I like saying lady friend. Yeah, fair enough. If you're in your 70s, you probably don't want to. Ma blonde tagu. Tagu! Ma blonde mon chum. It's very terrible because ma your 70s, you probably don't want to. My blonde tag girl. It's very terrible because my blonde is like, is it like a blonde?
Starting point is 01:24:32 It's chum. Yeah, chum is the other one. That's funny. Which is something you feed to sharks. We're sex chums. What is a mech? A mech is a good guy. Okay. Hey, I'm on a mech. If somebody calls you a mech? A mech is a good guy. Okay.
Starting point is 01:24:45 It's like a dude. Hey, I'm on a mech. It's great. If somebody calls you a mech, it's like you're a good dude. Yeah. Well, congratulations. Yeah. Every time I was called mech, I'm like, no, say Mike. Say Mike.
Starting point is 01:24:56 Pop mech. Say Mike. I'm like yelling at French people all the time. Dave, do you have an overheard? Mine's an overseen. Okay. all the time um dave do you have an overheard mine's an overseen so i was staying with my uh in-laws and they have guests and their guests bring them uh as a gift they'll bring them like a bottle of something sure and they said oh we have wine we have three or four bottles of pims
Starting point is 01:25:21 oh the british drink yeah do you know Pimms? I do. It's something you drink in the summer apparently. Yeah, I've never... I know you make a Pimms cup. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I've never really had one. Mike, have you had Pimms? I only know... I'm thinking of like
Starting point is 01:25:39 Dr. Pim, the Pim particles that make you into the Ant-Man or the Wasp. It's that. You drink them and then you go into a tiny little universe. And then you put on a spray and a little bit of Majolnar. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:25:58 So Pym's is a British liqueur? Spirit? Spirit, yeah. Digestive? Aperitif um I was uh so I they had a bunch of extra bottles and I was like oh I've never had a Pim's couple can I take one home and so they gave me one and I uh first of all I was expecting it to be like Campari I was expecting it to be very bitter or like Aperol. Um, and it's very sweet. Very sweet.
Starting point is 01:26:30 Yeah. Like lemonade. Yeah. And it's, uh, I know there's like a slice of cucumber, um, involved in it in a Pim's cup, but I didn't really know what I was in for. And is it in that Moscow mule cup? Well, here's the thing is there's, I,
Starting point is 01:26:49 I Googled, how do you make a Pim's cup? I'm I, I Googled Pim's cup recipe. I didn't Google. How do you make a Pim's cup? I'm not there yet. Uh,
Starting point is 01:27:00 but it didn't say anything about the specific cup. Okay. They weren't like beat copper and then turn it into a cup with your hammer there was so but i looked it up on boy it was food and wine what.com was the first thing that came up and it was a recipe that had like get us a couple slices of cucumber or an orange slice uh lemon slice uh strawberry so it's it's like most recipes will have like three liquors and one garnish this is one liquor and five garnishes oh mint you need mint for it as well right yeah uh And so the recipe I looked up had five comments on it. And the first one was, I think the recipe said just to use lemonade and sparkling water or something.
Starting point is 01:27:55 Right. Or no, use ginger ale. Yum. And the first woman to comment was named Jeannie. And she wrote, it is properly made with sparkling lemonade not ginger ale and not filled with a ton of fruit a thin slice of cucumber and a strawberry slice is all it needs is a garnish and then the next comment was genie why leave a comment to bash this recipe did you even try to make it as it reads of course not i suppose for you it's much easier to just leave a negative
Starting point is 01:28:26 comment by the way the recipe says ginger ale or lemon lime soda so it is properly made also this so-called properly made says you are supposed to garnish like crazy so it's entirely up to whomever makes this and what they decide to garnish it with in the end there's not right or wrong in terms of garnish my dear um and then the next comment was uh i think what genie was trying to get across is that the classic pims cup cocktail doesn't use soda but instead lemonade which in case you don't know is not the same as lemon lime soda. Anyway, it goes on. There's three comments.
Starting point is 01:29:12 And then finally, a guy whose name is Guy comments, girls, girls, girls, chill. Save it for the polo match. And that was you that said honestly I don't have enough authority to comment that girls girls girls girls girls girls just let's take those tops off
Starting point is 01:29:41 cool down that's yeah that's the last step to drinking a pims Let's take those tops off. Cool down. Let's take these tops off. That's the last step to drinking a Pimms. I made it with as many garnishes as possible. And I muddled them down to get all the juices out. And I got to tell you, it was good. Yeah, it's very refreshing. And it turns out I didn't have ginger ale or lemon lime soda. So I used Ting, this Jamaican grapefruit drink.
Starting point is 01:30:10 Nice. And it was good? It ruled. So do you think maybe you'll buy Pimms again? I guess you have to get it. They don't even have it here, do they? Oh, no. You can get Pimms here.
Starting point is 01:30:20 You can get Pimms here. Okay. Yeah. Let's see if I ever finish this bottle. Do you think you're going to buy Ting again? You know what? Ting, so I bought Ting because I like to drink a Paloma, which is
Starting point is 01:30:33 grapefruit soda and tequila. Ooh. And normally I get Haritos. Oh, Haritos is nice, yeah. The guy, so I went to the, yeahitos grapefruit um and they went to snack land the local uh day penner here yeah snack sounds like an absolutely not made up place and they have yes it's a place that sells a lot of American things. So American candy, American sodas.
Starting point is 01:31:06 And they, uh, they, they had all the Haritos, Haritos, except for grapefruit. So I bought Ting and the guy at the checkout was like, oh, uh, you, uh, what do you like Ting? And I was like, well, I prefer, I'd rather get the Haritos grapefruit and he was like oh yeah we have some in the back but um we also have tamarind and no one's really buying tamarind so we're waiting for that to sell out before i put out the grapefruit because last time we had grapefruit it sold out so fast and i was like i don't know if your business model of putting out the thing that doesn't sell and hiding the thing that sells is working. Well, you know, they trick people in.
Starting point is 01:31:50 They know they can feel that it's in the store. I feel like, oh, I guess I'd have to settle for ting. He said, oh, you should try pink ting. And then you're like, sir, this is a family. Come on, sir, this is a Wendy. When I lived in Toronto, I ate a lot of roti and i would go to a jamaican restaurant like they'd always be like you want something and i was like yes i would love something um it was a terrible joke that i would do all the time yes i would love something yeah that's a you gotta when your daughters are
Starting point is 01:32:21 old enough you gotta take them to that exact place so that you can deliver it. Yes. My overheard is courtesy of just people outside trying to beat the heat. And there was a lady with two friends. I feel like maybe there were a couple and she was the third one. I don't know. But at one point, the lady said, have you heard of soft serve? It's all organic
Starting point is 01:32:46 yeah that's true that's that's the most organic i can hear about this soft serve first of all it's very it's it only comes from the milkiest cows they're all grass-fed um anyway i love soft serve it's so it's organic good i i was tempted to get a big on the ferry they um it's self-serve soft serve and you you uh like whether you fill the bowl this high or this high you pay the same nice nice soft serve it like uh kind of builds on itself very well yeah there was a there used to be an instagram account that just like people would send in their pictures of what how much software they were able to get on the ferry and they would rate it out of 10 that's pretty good it's good use of the internet that kind of thing and it's all organics you can eat as much as you want yeah that's true
Starting point is 01:33:48 you can eat as much as you want yeah uh now we also have overheard sent in by people all over the map if you want to send it in to us is a spy at maximumfund.org and And this one's from Andrew in New York City. I work in one of the buildings in the Rockefeller Center Complex in New York City. On my floor, there is a little, maybe four foot tall door that goes to an elevator machine room. There have been people going in and out of it pretty much every day I've been working here. I say hi to the regulars, but there was this new guy in today that had a supervisor or higher-up vibe to him.
Starting point is 01:34:28 The regular guy led him down to the hallway to the little door, opened it up, and they both stood there for a second and looked inside. And the regular guy points and goes, look at this. It's the perfect place to work. It's completely symmetrical.
Starting point is 01:34:44 I cannot work here. It is nine feet by eight feet. I is not symmetrical. But yeah, I that sounds like doesn't sound like being John Malkovich. There's like a tiny little thing like what is through that door? They have to stop on the floor, mid the the floor and then open it with a crowbar and then climb out onto the third and a half floor was that movie like i loved it at the time i bought the dvd i watched it many times but i haven't watched it in 15 years is it was it too cute for
Starting point is 01:35:17 its own good no i just watched it recently and it was it was it held up. It was still funny. All those details, they all work? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he said in an interview that he has an idea, but it's not like a movie idea. Who's he? Charlie Kaufman? Yeah, Charlie Kaufman. Yeah, that he doesn't throw it away. He'll use it in a bigger project. So he had the idea of a movie being on a third and a half floor.
Starting point is 01:35:47 And that was the movie. He also had no like plan B. It was John Malkovich or nothing. And John Malkovich was a producer. Like John Malkovich heard about the movie, offered to produce it as long as he was not in it. And Charlie Kaufman was like, nope, it's got to be you.

And then I got really close after like, you know, a couple of weeks and then I looked at his script and it was only his lines and the rest were just like blah, blah, blah. Right. So that he just wanted to listen and react and say that line acting is mostly yeah that's like a really good uh like i never was good in school but i knew that like if i ever copied out my notes twice i was like oh i know this now forever yes yeah exactly but he does the opposite of like it's rote learning but like also like listening so he's like so I try to do that too when I'm doing like
