I listened to that Fall Out Boy version.
It's actually Panic at the Disco.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Sorry. Yeah, I have a child. I listen to Frozen and Frozen 2 a million times.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is Panic! at the Disco.
And then Weezer did...
Lost in the Woods.
Lost in the Woods.
The male ballad.
The Weezer song.
Well, it's more of like a Chicago song.
Oh man, is it ever?
It's so great.
Yeah, you can tell that I don't watch any media other than kids' media right now.
So I'm just like, what a great movie that is.
Yes, I am Mike Patterson. I am podcasting myself now.
Yeah, we're glad to have you.
Mike, we saw you in your frame there. I took a picture of everyone.
Yes.
But now I see behind you, is there a picture of you behind you?
Yes, there is. There's a picture of me. I have a lip sync band and we had a play.
Our second play, Never Surrender Saves a Baby.
I was also doubling as Fidel Castro.
We got to break this down.
I was in a lip sync band.
We had like lip sync musicals for many years.
And our second one, we found a baby.
It was like back when that big Cuban baby thing thing was happening so we found a cuban baby and then there was like an evil fidel castro who we
know nothing about we don't know anything about cuba and i had to play fidel castro so i had to
die in the play so um we had to have a big funeral for like 18 minutes and then they reveal this
giant picture of my face and then we sang michael bolton's how could i live without you
oh nice uh and journey separate ways as a montage of all the great fun times we had
um yeah and i still have it like 15 years later i mean that doesn't explain like i'm still confused
but i yeah i'm i'm good i'm not just you know there's a giant picture of my face from 17 years ago. And when my wife first met me, it was above my bed.
And now it's in the basement.
As is your bed.
So you stay down there.
I also sleep in the basement.
Do we want to get to know us?
Yes.
Get to know us. Mike, there's so much to know about you first of all you're in
a lip sync band still or this is in a past we just we just performed it just last last uh saturday
night nice what uh what was the song what was the we did an hour-long concert of hits and so is it um like every song gets its own kind of like staging yes and
choreography or like and we all play different uh instruments and also like you know like meatloaf's
anything for love is an eight minute song we edit it down to a minute and 32 seconds okay i feel
like that's all you need of that song oh totally you don't need to listen you know he won't do anything
he won't do for love or whatever
does it have the woman part in it
by which I mean the vagina
yes it does have women parts in it
which is sung by Ryan Wilner
I play all the men
and Ryan plays all the women
is it just the two of you
no and Tim Rabnett plays lead guitar.
Oh, I know Tim.
Yeah, we pretend to.
Well, no, we're actually playing it, dude.
It's a real serious art, Dave.
I'm confused.
We've had Ryan Wilner on the show, right, Graham?
I'm not sure.
It's possible.
I mean, I wasn't sure if we had had Mike on.
I had to go back into the catacombs and see. No, I remembered exactly when you said
Mike. I was like, Patterson with one T. Yeah. Friends with Alicia.
Big wrestling guy. Big wrestling fan. You're wearing a wrestling shirt
as we speak. I am. Yeah, I'm wearing a WrestleMania 6
shirt that I bought in Hollywood, California at a boutique
called Tarjay
oh Tarjay
it's really nice so they had like
glasses for 10 bucks they had a pharmacy
and they also have this
Wrestlemania 6 shirt that doesn't have Hulk Hogan
on it yeah who's on it there
well it's all dead people because you
can't put the live wrestlers on because
it's too problematic
Hulk Hogan might say something racist
or something, but Macho Man's dead.
Ultimate Warrior has said plenty of racist
things, hasn't he? But he's dead.
Yeah, he's not going to say any new stuff.
Yes, he's not going to say any new
allegations. There's the big boss man.
I think Bret Hart's on there, but he's not going to say anything
bad. He's going to be like, family values,
man.
Where are people being nicer he's
yeah he hasn't done anything like you know um uh did you so this past weekend i've read that uh
rick flair had his last wrestle yes i didn't watch i watched the clips and it was just like did he
die did he die is he dead and he didn't die so did he wrestle he um well he trained to get in the ring with this guy named
j lethal and then um halfway through yeah yeah yeah and then uh halfway through um he was putting
on this big match and he said hey j lethal uh great and he's like hey can i get a wrestling
match i just trained you forever can i get a wrestling match and he's like no we only want big stars
sorry and then Ric Flair kind of big leagued him
and then Jay Lethal beat him up in a
parking lot in Tennessee
and then left him bleeding
and then he was
fighting Jay Lethal
wow
when I was a kid wrestlers didn't have cool names
like Jay Lethal they had names like
Ric Flair.
See, I don't know. I can't follow

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
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

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.
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
i wouldn't want to be slapped by natalie portman she's had proper training on some

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.
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,
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.
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
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
that's great that's a great thing to have had in your life 22 years. 22 years. More than half my life.
That's great.
That's a great thing to have had in your life.
Nice.
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.
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.
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
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
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
it'll be my first for Spotify and I don't know
why anybody would do that
you might just have to check YouTube
really yes that's true
I'm sure me first in the gimme gimmes must have covered a Disney song or two.
So that's something to dip my toe into.
Anyways, you guys.
What's your favorite Disney song, Graham?
As the only non-father.
As a non-father, I think I really...
From Aladdin, A Friend Like Me.
That one's a pretty good jam.
The genie song. Huh song that's your favorite that's
your favorite yeah i think so huh how do i put the how do i raise my hand here oh mike would like to
speak i really need to speak right now can you ask me that same question mike as someone with no kids
what's your favorite disney song i have two kids oh well it's not the same question, is it?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
now speaking of stray something that rhymes with that is prey which is a movie you're in yes you're
an actor in this movie it's coming out about the movie like i don't know when this is coming out
but it's coming out august 5th which is like in two days it's out it's out it's out yeah and the reviews are in what did
you think future selves uh well i was pretty i wanted more mike patterson i was disappointed

Like, Lord Beaverbrook.
Yeah, like a really fancy guy.
But he was like a small guy wrestler.
He was just like, I am Lord Beaverbrook. anyway no that's where that's where you went to school that's amazing

Oh, God.
Ah, damn it.
What's the other one I want to think of?
E.P. Scarlet.
That sounds, yeah, it sounds like a weird, like, skin rash.
Bishop Grandin.
That's what I was hoping for.
Bishop Grandin, yes.
There's a thing that happens on the show where if someone's from Calgary, we spend the whole episode talking about their high school.
Oh, really? That's great. Okay, I'm not from Calgary.
My mother-in-law's from Calgary.

She didn't go to high school.
No, she didn't go to high school. She went to high school
in Germany.

Okay, well, yeah, sure sure we can't criticize him no yeah he was just like yeah he was just had to take over the
farm um we worked together in calgary you were on my quiz show that was tremendous you talked to my
dad in the audience this is the greatest thing yeah it's true because you you and him were wearing the same shirt we were no but he bought the same sweater at costco that i had to stop
wearing because so like when you buy a sweater at costco nobody tells you that they only have
like four sweaters at costco and all of the old men are gonna buy that sweater so you just look
like an old man like i look like your dad so i made fun of your dad for wearing that sweater. So you just look like an old man. Like I looked like your dad. So I made fun of your dad for wearing that sweater.
And I was,
um,
on tour in three rivers,
Tours Rivière,
Quebec.
And on the journal,
the Tours Rivière,
there was a person wearing that same sweater that your dad was wearing.
And the headline was like,
this guy was abandoned at the hospital by his family.
So,
so that's why I told him not to wear it which is just great that was um
ridiculous yeah yeah yeah yeah um but i want to know more about this predator thing yeah me too

for supplying all these slim jams exactly so i've gotten that a lot but on um on prey i did not get a lot
of tone it down please now you auditioned for it and they called it what they call skulls yeah

Yeah, totally.
I say secret, you say phony baloney.
I'm just worried about... That's called the whole thing, huh?
Yeah, exactly.
I'm worried about Fox.
Yeah, it happens a lot that you just get an audition for something and you're like, what is this?
Okay.
Because I work at... The office that i work in is right next to a
casting agency okay and it's all hallmark movies and they're just like completely like you can see
down the street that they're doing a hallmark movie they're not they're not private about it
at all so i have a bunch of logs that look like santa claus because i auditioned for um for
hallmark movies all the time i have like a lot of logs that are like painted like santa claus
because like there's so many times that are like you know you're you know mrs derosier needs to see
you again you know she's like i know you're a big city girl now but like why don't you go talk to
mrs derosier that's like okay i guess so then she learns the magic at christmas nice there was one i
watched around christmas called an ice wine christmas and uh there's not ever every three
sentences is about ice wine we have in canada we have we don't have the hallmark channel we have
w which is short for women for women's a women's channel. And they show all
the Lifetime movies and the
Hallmark movies. Sorry, whenever anybody
mentions the W channel, I have to open a beer.
It's an aha.
Yeah, you gotta chug it.
Women's Network,
don't women get enough?
No macho man acting.
Oh, sorry, sorry. And as far as I
can tell, the channel is
just these kinds of movies and like
the property brothers maybe
but just like taking their shirts off
but they just had their
Christmas in July festival
where they showed
just Hallmark Christmas movies
all month
I mean that does it for me yeah yeah me too do they do
halloween ones um they must christmas the only time they do they must do valentine's no yeah
they do them constantly but like christmas is the like that's the big scene we were debating
at work whether these count as romantic comedies because they're not funny ice wine christmas was hilarious oh yeah but for different reasons
i knew uh somebody who created an ice ice wine company and then um had to sell it because like
it got so popular so this is like maple ice wine and now they make a cider and their cider is not as good
as their ice wine and i remember being like hey that's great and then like oh no we don't make
ice wine anymore because we sold the company now we have this and i was like
what is this and i spent the entire corporate show just yelling about how terrible the cider was
to the company that makes no that makes a different company but they
just supplied the drinks and the drinks cider and i'm like you can't make cider in quebec
i don't know a ton about ice wine uh graham do you know anything what i know is the whole movie
about it yeah it's uh the frost it's something to do with the frost yeah it makes the grape sweeter but you don't the bottles are a lot smaller yes smaller bottles what mike what
do you know about ice wine as someone who really liked some well it's great you keep it in your
fridge uh it gets you a real toasted up kind of thing like it's a cold stuff and then you feel
like whoa that's crazy would you drink it because the one
time i had it i was served it after dinner in like a shot glass and it was cold as cold as balls yeah
yeah sure that's how you gotta drink it and yeah but like do you i was pretty young and like pretty
inexperienced with alcohol so i don't know what i don't know if i liked it but i was happy to have it like what
makes it good like how much do you drink do you just have the one shot do you do you know we drank
no we drank a few of them we would always have some and it was called uh sort of and they also
made like a cream liqueur and maple it was all maple stuff cream liqueur it was maple yeah maple
and like they had like a kind of like a maple um yeah like a creme
de mouth kind of thing that you could put in your coffee instead of everything maple out there
everything's maple it's crazy the mayor of montreal is just a maple tree she's like
like one of those trees from the wizard of us exactly exactly she's really good she makes a
lot of bike bike lanes um she's like let's not cut down any more trees stop using cars um
montreal was way out ahead of uh everybody when it came to like renting those rental bike things
that you rented with your credit card heck yeah yeah montreal was there first i think because
i'd never seen it before i went oh. Oh, buddy, yeah, it's a
French town. You rent them and you get a
little, it has a basket with a
baguette on the front. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You get a little striped shirt and a
beret. It's just a kit
on top of the bike.
Yeah, you can also rent cigarettes.
It was very easy.
I'm like, you know,
you know.
Yeah, we had the Bixies. It was great. big oh yeah pixie bikes and now they're everywhere it's pretty great do you guys have the scooters the motorized scooters
no oh that was just ridiculous they had them in calgary during prey and um
there was like a lot of people um injuring themselves yeah uh on the movie um
there would be like like actors would be like oh i fell off one of those birds last night or
something you know you scrape my whole face scrape my seven foot dog it doesn't matter we're all like
we're all like playing like trappers and like you know like first nation warriors anyway so like there was like a big like
lot of war paint and stuff so uh-huh right would cover but there does need to be some
scrape continuity oh i know i did do a movie with john malkovich and i had like the weekend off and
my wife and i finally got to like sit down and just relax because i was working a lot and she sat down and she elbowed me
in the eye and gave me a black eye when she just sat down on our stupid couch on our crooked condo
in montreal and so i had to go back two days later and then i told the makeup artist i was like i
have a black eye and i need you to hide it i need you to not tell the director and she uh said no
i will hide it but i'm going to tell the director and i was like okay and they're like what happened
i'm like my wife hit me all i'm gonna do is give you two black eyes yeah
i always like when like a professional athlete gets injured in like the worst, the stupidest way.
And they have to like take six months off.
Like, oh, I picked up my baby weird.
Or I remember Joe Sackick almost lost his finger in a snowblower.
And then that was ridiculous.
Oh my God, that would be so terrible.
Do you have any, have you had any dad injuries dave
um i mean the kids are just constantly stepping on my testicles but yeah no um no i
no none that come to mind i've been like i i mean unless i'm forgetting something obvious
graham but uh not like i, nothing that I can think of.
Have you, Mike?
Oh yeah.
All the time.
When, how old were you when you had your first child?
43.
So that, like I, I went to, I had my first one at 33.
Okay.
Uh, so I, like a few months ago I went to a trampoline, uh, whatever playhouse with the kids and we went on the trampolines and I was like, oh my God, I'm, this hurts so much.
Imagine if I had had kids later, like having to do this stuff.
I rolled my ankle at a trampoline house and then I went to physio for like a month.
Yeah.
Cause I went to a trampoline and now I just have like, I go to phys all the time i fucked up my neck doing go-karts yeah that was a hard one to go to physio and explain how
because you were just looking behind because you were just winning because when you get the blue
shell was coming for you um yeah but it's embarrassing i think i tried to make up something else and they were like what
that doesn't sound right i was like all right you caught me it was go-karts um which is you know
why you shouldn't do them as an adult they're good for kids i wobble i my friend for his 10th
birthday went to go-kart like we had a party in richmond british columbia we went to go-kart like we had a party we in richmond british columbia we went to go-karts
the greatest so much fun uh we were there for so long and i told my dad i was like we gotta go back
this was can you please take me to go-karts one day and he and i went like a few months later
maybe a year later and it was so not fun.
It was like,
I think at the birthday party,
they had given us extra time.
Right.
And so like we,
I remember going with my dad and it was like 10 minutes and we were done and
it was not fun.
And I was,
I felt bad for him.
I was like,
sorry.
I kind of,
I sold you a bill of goods goods i told you this would be cool
my first date with my wife was at go-karts really indoor outdoor indoor indoor i think
indoor is crazy there's so many yeah yeah but you get a little indoor outdoor dave
this was outdoor outdoor is i think that's the preferable this is uh who is
ivan decker has a joke about oh driving on the highway and seeing a sign for go-karts you get
out of your big car and go in a little car and get out at ivan decker he's got it you know what
i mean he's whatever that quality is he's got it yeah i saw him in calgary i was at the laugh shop all
the time while i was oh yeah right how long how long did it take to film all three months
three months you must be in a lot of the movie i know yeah i'm probably in like 15 minutes of
the movie who's the who's the uh headliner who's the amber mid thunder amber mid thunder amber mid thunder so it's a uh it's a
first nations movie so it's like uh who are the best warriors of all time right i gotta go with
amber mid thunder yeah it's like but it's like the comanche nation so like people are always asking
like the the director of the movie like i don't know if you saw the first predator there was like
billy yeah who's like the the native dude and then um so when he just like cuts himself and says like i'm gonna fight the predator i'm not i'm just
gonna fight him let's fight um then we don't even see the fight and so the whole point of this movie
was like what would happen if we got to see the fight with billy so it's back in time it's like in the 1700s it's um uh like uh like a predator comes down and
is hunting uh comanche warriors okay it's like that show uh the spike tv show which
it'll be ninjas or yeah the romans versus predator Graham, how many Predator movies have you seen?
Because I've only seen one.
I think I've seen all of them.
Okay.
And there's a big kind of dip from number one to number two,
because number one has Arnold Schwarzenegger,
and then number two has Danny Glover.
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.
Yes.
That was the one that was Topher Grayson,
Adrian Brody.
Exactly.
What a great one.
That's the only one I've seen.
Is it really?
Yeah.
Where they go to planet predator.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No,
it's not. It's just a planet that the predators have to just throw a bunch of people well i remember a scene where they went
to a predator shop and uh they brought some nice predator sweaters for each other and they were
like oh try to blend in and they all try and make yourself hello sir i'm i too have a predator oh yeah where'd you go to high school
lord predator brook ep whatever um lord little brooks in calgary be our editor that's where i
went to high school um dave what's going on with you man what's going on with you, man? What's going on with me? Hell yeah Well, Graham and I recorded two episodes in a week
And that's why we got a week off
Yeah
So last week
I was on vacation
This is my vacation week
Yeah, you're slipping sliding
And what I do when I vacation
Is I go to Abby's parents' house on Gabriola Island.
Far, far away from here.
Two ferry trips away.
And away from the hustle and bustle.
Yeah.
It's not like you get there and then it's, oh, more grind.
No, it really is away from it all.
Yeah.
And they have a wonderful house on a beach.
And we did a lot of kayaking.
I was,
there was a seal in the water near me when I was kayaking.
That's pretty good.
It was,
we had a heat wave here.
How hot is it in Montreal?
Hot.
Any human?
Yeah.
It's not that hot here.
It's not.
Well,
how,
what is it in
Montreal like what is it today
I have no idea let me do you want me to look at my app

25 is going to be great.
Oh, that sounds good.
It's 25 here right now, but it feels like 30.
I don't know what that means.
Today is the first... You have a heat dome
as far as I understand.
You do? No, you guys do. You had a
heat dome. We did a year ago.
I don't think this counts as one.
You didn't build that like your
mayor didn't say like, let's put a heat dome
to make it warmer. No, that's the opposite of what we want.
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.
And I had no such.
I just was fans from room to room fans and
oh man if i'm out of town you can come use my air conditioning okay i i uh i agree to your terms
keeping in mind i'm never leaving town again and also don't invite anybody over don't have a party just because just because dave's out of town air conditioning party um so
yeah so but like yeah the when i pack for a trip i'm always like oh i wonder if it will rain maybe
i should bring a pair of pants and a hoodie and a raincoat and that was stupid yeah and you guys
don't care about rain out there i I worked with a guy from Vancouver,
Nelson,
and,
uh,
it was like,
I know them,
you know,
him.
Yeah.
It was his name,
Nelson,
or was he from Nelson?
No,
he was,
his name was Nelson,
but he,
uh,
he was just walking.
I was like,
we better get our umbrellas out.
It's raining.
He's like,
nah,
this happened.
And like,
we were in Calgary and it was like really coming down.
And then we found out when we got home that it was like a tornado warning.
But he just was like, it is nothing.
It's nothing compared to the rain.
You are nothing.
I'll warn you.
I'll end you.
We still have to finish our walk.
Get in my heat dome.
Yeah, get in my heat dome.
So yeah, I had a nice week off very relaxing
A house with
Four dogs
Two of whom are under two years old
Or three of whom are under two years old
So craziness
So it was a little bit chaotic
On that front but I was able to like
Sleep in till nine.
Nice.
What's, what's the, um, swimming situation for the dogs?
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.
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.
They have a guy there like, time to make time.
Yeah. He's got a big ranch yeah yeah um and so they uh so yeah but like can i tell you my alternate thing all right my alternate joke for that i don't know how times work well you put them in
your laundry machine yeah everything clean and if you want you can have them as a tasty snack I don't know which joke
was better so I'm just doing both I'm sure you can
just edit one of those jokes out
we'll select
we'll put it to the audience
we'll see which one the audience likes better
text 59001
for the Tide Pod
thing and 59002
for what was it a guy who
was on the moon
he's alone on the moon
just running the tides
like can I bring a companion
no but do you have like
I have no idea how tides work
like I don't I don't know
I know that they're not the same every day
I know that like but
they they they're about the same like if like if we so we were on the island for a week and
tide came in at dinner time every day but like right like the at the start of the week it came
in at five at the end of the week it came in at seven um and i know that there's like a big
high tide and a big low tide every day but also a small high tide and a small low tide and then
there's rip tides just to throw in oh yeah sure if you're vance joy over here is that fun for anyone
um the uh so yeah that was that was fun um the one thing I like to do when I go visit my in-laws is I like to do a puzzle.
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.
I didn't find anything I liked.
There were a bunch of art puzzles.
I hate art.
Yeah, down with art.
Mike, are you a puzzle guy?
Are you a game guy?
What are you?
My wife is a puzzle person, and I'm just a...
Yeah, I'm a Lego person.
Okay.
I just put together an Encanto playset with my daughter but i don't do anything
like advanced what is incanto that's a disney movie oh okay do you not watch disney movies
all the time with children um yeah i do with children the parents hate it that i'm there
but i hate this one secret this guy does can i, can I come over and watch? Yeah.
No, yeah.
I don't play a lot of games.
I mostly play whatever is in front of my kids.
Right now, I have a one-year-old, so I get a bunch of markers and put them on the floor.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
but he just like,
you didn't order them.
The guy just knew he would sell a hundred pizzas that night at $5 for,
for a small pizza.
Uh,
uh,
but one time my girlfriend was visiting me
yeah and i was like let's order chinese food to the dorm and my uh my roommate was like
he was like i heard that one time someone they did a test on some chinese food
and it turns out there were eight different kinds of animal cum in it
they did they did some tests on some chinese food
and who are these racists they're like we have to test only chinese food yeah and only for semen yeah that's
right we've got the semenometer what do you think folks
clapping you think there's a lot of semen in this yeah oh god an eight eight different kinds
but i um so i i i that really kind of tainted the meal for me and sure yeah my girlfriend and i broke
up uh but uh the uh then it i didn't even consider it like later i was like no way
like it's so expensive to get animal semen yeah like why would you waste it on 30 of dave's
chinese food and why would you buy animals and then jerk them off and then butcher them and
then put them in your your food yeah like if you're if you're doing animal husbandry this is
this is like liquid gold you do not want to just no you do not want it to end up in your chicken chow
main yeah yeah exactly i was told that heineken had the most p in it of any beer as i was drinking
a heineken i think somebody told me once that corona was the only mexican beer that they tested
for p or feces or something like that how did it test uh negative
i know that for a fact and the corona is made down the street in the molson factory down the
street oh the hell and do they have like a just a public urinal outside they're like do we have
anybody that needs to piss like we have to make some corona yeah we need it in it in this 60 men for 60 minute pissed in a bucket it's just
it's just so hard to get it's not like it's if you needed pee it would just be hard to get it
like people don't just pee wherever they wherever they can well and it's like if you imagine you had
to you were doing drugs and had to take a p test
i don't know i don't know where i would go i don't know who i would be uh comfortable asking

And,
uh,
and Mr.
Field,
um,
first name,
car,
last name,
field,
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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.
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
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
that was pretty much it crotto was a good place i'm like i'm not gonna get my clothes from crotto we're gonna look poor but we were poor so like you

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.
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.
It's a family-friendly podcast where listeners submit games
and we play them with callers from around the world.
Oh, sounds good.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Next overheard i did a movie with john malkovich you did yeah which one uh it's called last call it was about um reese efans plays um the um the poet um the wel poet, goddammit.
Dylan Thomas?
Dylan Thomas?
Yes.
So he's Dylan Thomas dying in a bar, and John Malkovich plays the doctor who's like, let him die.
And I'm a guy in that bar.
So I was like in a bar forever.
Is this the whole movie?
Well, like they flashback.
It's the last day of Dylan Thomas's life.
And I play like a guy i'm
from buffalo uh i don't know but like he keeps saying like really nice uh poetic things to me
and i'm just like a guy drinking too many beers nice you're like the norm of that situation yeah
totally um watch the movie or listen to the song dylan thomas by better oblivion community center
uh featuring phoebe bridgers and connor oberst about dylan thomas by better oblivion community center uh featuring phoebe bridgers and
connor oberst about dylan thomas dying on the barroom floor let's hear it for them john um
but he had um like john malkovich had um his own script written out handmade and bound so like i
looked at his script and we all had our own like little printouts and he had his own, like he wrote the entire script out himself, but that's cool.
It was really fricking cool.
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
predator stuff yeah
what did predator have to say
I don't know what you're going to say
but what I'm going to say back is
I'm going to kill you and
wear you like a jacket
your blood is awfully green sir
yes
you are saying
he's saying this next one's from john in austin texas john m from chicago
uh dave and dance what our past episode with the dan werb their tour memories reminded me of the
first gig i ever played on tour with a rock band in Baltimore. The venue had a giant poster backstage with all the rules of playing on the road.
I don't remember all of them, but the two I remember are,
it's not a soccer game, your parents can't come to every show.
Fair.
And two, the drummer can wear gloves or take his shirt off, but not both.
That's a great rule that's good i don't see a lot of drummers and gloves but it does stand out when
you see them yeah exactly would have been better the drummer must wear gloves or take his shirt
off not both it's yeah i mean it's uh it's your own choice i've known more drummers to take their
shirts off than yeah wear gloves oh yeah what's his name? Always Nude? Wasn't it from No Doubt or
something like that? Yeah, sure.
It was always Nude.
But there's like
the gloves and it always seems like it's
like batting, baseball batting
gloves. Yes, yeah.
One time I got in an Uber with a guy
that had driving gloves and I was like
who the hell is this guy?
Like leather driving gloves and i was like who the hell is this guy like this is a serious driving gloves what kind of car was it um just a black car oh yeah yeah that unique gloves for that
the nissan micro yeah i find the black cars look better in the shade yeah yeah it's true
um i like black car that's got all tinted windows so you can't see anything at all except your own reflection.
That's pretty cool.
Anyways, black cars rule.
Yeah.
Then blue, then red, then pink.
All the way down to the bottom, white, because it gets filthy.
It does get filthy.
Oh, the most popular car in the city is gray.
Oh, yeah, gray.
Because you can't see how filthy it gets
yeah man it's uh i gotta go to the car wash this week although this is a statistic i heard in 2002
so i bought a minivan that's gray and uh with the money i got from predator and then i i've decided
to not name it the predator van why not it didn't go over well with um kids at uh my my daughter's
elementary school oh sure yeah you want to come home in the predator van do you want to get into
the predator van and so we're not going to call it that hey mike um speaking of predators you're
you have a very big beard um and that's the name of my character in predator big beard big beard
it's called big beard what uh are you jealous yes i wanted to
meet predator i only met alien one time at a bar yeah the only thing i ever met was the thing

Did you have a beard?
It was,
I did not have a beard at all.
When's the last time you shaved it?
Uh,
I,
I did a French thing where I played the Dolly Lama,
but it was the Dolly.
Ha ha.
So they wanted me.
So good.
This sounds great.
It's so ridiculous.
And they had me in robes and stuff.
And then,
uh,
I was the Dolly.
Ha ha. I'm welcoming you to a French festival of comedy in Quebec City.
And when was that?
When did you shave it?
I'd say four years ago.
So that's four years growth.
Graham, you haven't touched yours in over a decade, I would say. I trim like a bonsai tree.
But yeah, don't hack any.
Do you trim it yourself or do you go to like a bonsai tree, but yeah, don't hack any. Don't hack. Do you trim it yourself
or do you go to like a,
like a,
like a beard place?
No,
I trim it by myself,
but I,
I wouldn't be against

Playboy magazines
on the table
and maybe
let you just jack off
right while they do.
Yeah.

enjoying a drink on his patio.
When his two year old daughter came up out of the house,
crying shortly after that,
his four year old son followed.
So my friend asked,
why is Joanna crying with a very sincere,
wide eyed and earnest look?
He replied,
I don't know.
I didn't step on her.
Prove that I did. Yeah. I don't know what I didn't step on her. Prove that I did.
Yeah.

Hey, Dave, Graham, and courageous guest.
This is David from Round Rock, Texas, calling in with a kid say the darndest for
you. I was in the grocery store a little earlier and there was a little boy, maybe five or six,
and he was hanging off the side of the cart while his mom pushed. And he said quite enthusiastically,
I've got it all planned out. I'm going to have a corn dog for dinner That's it, off I go
Mom and dad, I don't know if you've heard
But tonight's corn dog night
And that's what we're going to have for dinner
It's amazing
In Quebec, of course, they call it a pogo
They call it a pogo
Do you go shopping with your kids, Dave?
That was a thing I would do like when we had when we had the second
kid it i made it a uh like a priority that like if i was running an errand one kid was coming with
me right abby wasn't left with both uh but then the pandemic happened and it was like, well, you can't, like, I'm going to stores in like a suit from Outbreak.
Yeah.
You were getting Junior barfing in my suit.
I just brought Mina to the store to go grocery store shopping and she has not been to a store or done anything in two years.
Right.
And she was just like, just losing her mind.
Like, she's like, look at this, blueberries.
Ooh, look at this.
Oh, whoa.
Oh, flowers.
We can buy flowers.
Let's get flowers.
And then I also, I put flowers in the thing and you can just sense the people.
Speaking of overheard, you can just overhear the, you know, cause like for two years, we
didn't bring our kids to grocery stores.
And now we're bringing them back and they don't know like she was in the bread section and she's
like oh do you smell that do you smell that dad it's the best smell it is the best do you smell
that yeah i like grocery stores and i'm like it's bread it's bread do you smell that she's like it's
not bread and then she found like some like cubed meat.
And she's like, I think it's this, dad.
This is what I'm smelling.
I'm like, no, it was the bread.
They're baking bread.
She has no idea.
She hasn't done anything in two years.
Have you ever seen the movie,
Eat to Mama Tambien?
Yes, maybe.
There's a scene where they're driving.
They're like in a traffic jam on the highway.
And one of them says,
do you smell fresh bread?
And the other one takes a
big inhale and realizes that his
friend had just farted.
Classic.
Good bit. Yeah, good bit.
Solid sticks to the landing.
Solid Mexican bit.
Here's your next phone call.
Hey Dave
Graham and guest.
This is Danny.
I recently saw a billboard in Chicago that, complete with before and after pictures, just said,
Toe shortening.
Yep, it's a thing.
Anyway, off I go.
Yeah, we can shave a couple inches off of those bad boys i mean like
you're really nitpicking if you think that's wrong with your body yeah toe shortening oh my
i keep buying like shoes that are too small yeah maybe that's it maybe it's a fit in shoes kind of
i i do like boy i'm a size 10 and shoes in my size never go on sale but like
if i was a size 7 i could clean up yeah i uh have you ever seen like an actual thing because
they would do foot binding back in the day and they would make they they made them into like triangular kind of weird shaped feet so cool
but like that would have probably helped if you had a little shorter toes would give you a little
bit more roomy you had shorter toes yeah i mean it also seems like torture i think it's probably
torture it's probably torture i don't think many men were asked to do it uh yeah
probably not but they were what are they wearing sandals or something like that something really
yeah get it together what are you wearing uh these days in these hot summer days i wear it either uh
i've got like a pair of just kind of d colorful walking around in the summer shoes
and then I've got a pair of boat shoes that I wear.
Some top siders.

Croc material
And some vans

But there was a yacht where we were at Abby's parents house
Across at the island across
From their house Mudge Island

Canadian billionaire Jimmy Patterson's yacht was parked across the hallway.
So we threw rocks at it.
Okay, here's your final phone call.
Hi, this is Georgia from Rochester.
