Yes, I still have made a choice.
That's Rush.

I remember all these songs.
You guys were Rush heads?
Well, yeah, my dad was.
He liked prog rock.
We listened to Yes.
We listened to Rush.
We listened to all that stuff.
And then also the radio station that we always had on in the house was the classic rock rate.

you know your favorites from the 60s 70s 80s and today and they kind of played but it was 1988
but yeah so there was a lot of rush going on. Yeah. I remember we had that little, I'm sure other people had it, that little brown cassette
suitcase.
Oh, yes.
It was like the fake leather and you open it up and it had all the little slots.
I had friends who had one.
Yeah, we had, there was quite a few rush and yes tapes in there.
And was that, did you keep it in the car or the house?
A car.
Okay.
But also could be taken into the boardroom or in the bedroom.
In the bedroom.
Yeah, the bedroom.
You open up your tape.
And then the sound of as you choose the tape.
Yeah.
You just flip through them.
Rush, eh?
Yeah.
Nobody's here.
I'm going to put on moving pictures by Rush.
It's got a silly cover where someone's moving a picture.
And it's 11 minutes long.
The cover?
The cover of the tape?
Yeah, Rush is like
a cultural blind spot to me.
Sure.
In the CanCon division,
I mean, there was all sorts of CanCon

Oh, yeah.
You did not choose to ever listen to that.
And CanCon is also the, it's short for Oh yeah, you did not choose to ever listen to

But then we say...
She's going to the Dentines.
Then she'll say the Dentiste.

There was another one that was like,

He uses his butthole
like a trumpet.
Oh, yes.
Couldn't Q also be penis?
No, Q.
Oh, pardon me.

Yes.
And then never have anybody to play with it and talk to it.
And because it's not, there's not a ton of people who speak Gaelic.
I have.
I have worried about worried
I have wondered
about learning
Welsh
oh yeah
that's fucked up
yeah Welsh is really weird
because it like
sounds like
40% like English
yeah
and then there's
a bunch of other
weird
yeah
I don't think
I've ever heard
somebody talking
Welsh before
very strange
I was
I don't actually have any Welsh heritage you might I don't know about you guys heard somebody talk in Welsh before. Very strange. I don't actually have any Welsh heritage.

My friends were at a wedding, and it was a few months ago, before the Oscars.
And there were some Irish people at the wedding, and they were like, yeah, we're really excited because there's Irish representation in the Oscars this year.
And they were like, oh, yeah.
Oh, the Banshees.
Yeah, yeah.
And my friends were like, the Banshees.

What do you think about Irish reunification?
Where does everybody stand on that?
Oh, boy.
I don't know.
I don't know enough about it.
No, neither do I.
I think it would probably be pretty simple to figure out.
Yeah, pretty straightforward.
Do you
and do you?
Orange is flattering
on no one.
Can we just agree
with that?
Yeah.
Speaking of
over there,
did you guys watch
The Coronation?

photos and fun memes
that people came up with.
I was very confused.

Ghoul for a day, goblin for a lifetime.
I did see that they were...

Yeah.
It's good to be king, he sang.
I just saw that Katy Perry
had a second outfit.
Oh, really?
So that's how I know
she performed.
I saw, yeah,
just the giant disc.
Because she had the pink
outfit in the church
and I saw her
because she couldn't
find her seat.
She was walking around
and she couldn't find her seat
and then I saw a picture
of her in this big gown.
So they couldn't get
British people to perform?
No.

Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun- This is my favorite song.
C'est mon chanson préféré.
King Chuck.
This is for you.
Yeah.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
I want you on my throne.
Well, we love you, King Charles.
Spaniel.
If he's going to be on our money, he should have to have the crown on it.
Because otherwise he just looks like a man.
Some dull.
Yeah, some guy in a suit.
Queen didn't have a crown on.
Didn't she?
She had a little tiwawa.
Yeah, she had like a little.
Maybe she did have a little tiwawa.
Yeah, and she was classic.
She was one that we recognize her on money.
But now Charles just looks like a guy.
Some fucking guy.
Could be any guy.
With his one hand weirdly in the front jacket of his.
We're not hand shaming him, I thought.
No, it's a weird position.
It's his pose that he does.
Because he can't get his weird freaking Krang hand into the pocket.
We're not hand shaming anyone.
His hands or Krang.
There's no wrong way to have a body Graham
what did he do
to you
I actually
some people think
Crank's really
attractive
yeah that's true
but there was
something to do
with the ring
did he have to
put a ring on
there's so many
things
he's got to
hold a thing
and two sticks
and the ball
and the hat
a stone or something
well he did the
single ladies dance
so that was
about putting a ring on it.
Oh, was Sasha Fierce there?
It was Sasha Fierce.
Yeah.
Beyonce was not in it.
Was Sasha Fierce like a...
Chris Gaines?
It wasn't.
Was it?
Or was it just like the name of that album?
It was a bit of both.
I think she had a particular Sasha-ness.
But don't a lot of artists like adopt like a persona?
Sure, for an album.
Slim Shady.
Sure.
Wait a minute.
He's not a persona.
That's a real man.
Bickle, Bickle, Bickle.
He's still copping that Slim Shady stuff and he's 45.
No, I don't know how old he is.
He's probably 50.
Is he 50 maybe? Let's guess. He, I don't know how old he is. He's probably 50. Is he 50 maybe?
Let's guess.
He's older than us.
Eminem turns 50.
Is Eminem Jubilee
our Eminem Jubilee?
I'm guessing
he turns 50
in two years.
I'm guessing
he was born in 75.
50 in two years.
Wow.
I'm just a guess.
Wow. What a life. Oh, let me two years. Wow. I'm just a guess. Wow.
Wow, what a life.
Oh, let me think about that.
Does anyone else have a guess?
I'm going to guess that he is 59.
50?
No, sorry, 49.
I think he's 52.
He is.
I think he's cracked 50.
He's always so young.
Mind you.
He's cracked 50.
Really?
Yeah, born October 17th, 1972. Oh, that's good. He's always so young. Mind you. He's cracked 50. Really? Yeah. Born October 17th, 1972.
Oh, that's good.
That's good for him.
52?
How old is that?
51.
51.
Almost 51.
He'll be 51 in October.
Oh, there we go.
They're all pretty close.
Come on.
50 Cent's coming to town.
I know that.
Yeah.
He's going to come to town, do some of his patented rapping.
Upside down?
Yeah.
Like the Super Bowl?
Yeah.
And then he pukes at the end of the concert.
It's just a countdown to how long it is before 50 seconds.
Nice.
You might get five songs.
You might get 15.
Who knows?
At the beginning of the show, you see him shoveling some chili in his face, and then they crank
him upside down.
They put him in the gyroscope.
Oh, God.
Have you ever been in one of those no never you think maybe once
as a kid yeah you're like a thrill seeker yeah yeah i was always a very very lily livered queasy
little little man um what kind of thrill seeking stuff do you do skydive no but uh she likes the
roller coasters i don't like scary rides i like soon as like, I used to go to a amusement park and see the most fucked up looking ride.
I'm like, I'm doing that one.
You're going to do that one.
Yeah.
Um, and I did things like canyoning and whitewater rafting and like mountain stuff.
She actually rode the Venga bus.
I did.
Too scary for this guy.
We couldn't sneak up on anybody.
They always knew we were coming. Um, yes. I did. Too scary for this guy. We couldn't sneak up on anybody.
They always knew we were coming.
Um, yes.
The,
uh,
but I think those days are long gone.
Cause now just the idea of it.
I went like cave spelunking.
see that.
Yeah.
But now,
now I just get such a pit in my torso.
Now just that the idea of it.
Yeah.
No going in a cave.
Uh,
it was fine when I did it.
Like I didn't even think about it,
but now if I think for even more than 0.7 seconds about it,
my mind implodes.
Is it just because you're young and young and stupid?
Yeah.
You didn't care.
Yeah.
I was never young and stupid enough to,
uh,
to go in a cave.
Oh,
sure you were.
Thanks Dave.
You were plenty stupid.
Thank you. Aw, crawl into a cave. Oh, sure you were. Thanks, Dave. You were plenty stupid. Thank you.
Crawl into a cave.
Too scary, man. Too scary.
It's messed up. I could not
do it now. No.
What are your five favorite caves?
Nick.
Nick.
Nicholas Cave.
Is that
two different guys.
But it's based on Nick Cage?
Yeah.
Surely there's a Flintstones character of some sort.
Sure.
Yeah.
Rick Cave.
Rick Cave.
Oh, my favorite guy from Mortal Kombat, Johnny Cave.
Johnny Cave.
Yep.
And rounding him up, Cave D. Lang.
There we go. Oh, Canada sweetheart, Cave D. Lang. There we go.
Oh, Canada, Canada sweetheart.
Cave D. Lang.
Oh, my favorite song of hers is Constant Caving.
Yes.
Yes.
Which is sadly about cave-in disasters.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Have you guys ever, have either of you guys seen The Descent?
Yes.
Isn't that the scariest freaking movie?
Yes, it is a terrifying movie.
It's about a, yeah, it's a bunch of women on one of their like bachelorette. Yeah, it's like a fun weekend or something, isn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, I've seen that, Girls Trip?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They go in a cave.
It's like The Hangover, but for girls.
They go in a cave that's like the people think that it's like a well trod, well mapped out cave that everybody does.
But she's found a cave that is off the beaten track.
They get caught.
They get lost in there.
Is it scary because of the cave or there are scary people show up?
There's a little bit of both.
Is it your favorite scary movie?
There's a little bit of both.
It's probably in terms of
like scariness it's pretty freaking high is it on top of just thinking the whole time oh they're
fucking 300 feet under solid rock yeah like just that looming over top of you the whole time you're
watching the jump scares and the tension like in all the regular stuff just that just looming
is it does it have that horror movie thing of no one famous is in it? I think so.
Yeah, no one's famous.
It's maybe 10 years old, 15 years old maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not recent.
So freaking scary.
It was fucking scary.
Yeah.
What is the other one that I watched that I thought was so freaking scary?
Arachnophobia?
No freaking way.
No freaking way.
Saint something.
And it was so scary.
It's about a woman who thinks she's a saint
She's directly talking to God
Like Joan of Arc
What if God was one of us
Yeah
The other Joan
Joan of Arcadia
Abby
What's going on with you Not what's going on with you huh uh not too much i'm growing my
hair out so i recently looks good you've got a couple different colors yeah the kids dyed their
hair and we had some leftover stuff so i just slapped them on and uh the your kids have gone
the crazy hair gone tropo yeah they've gone they've gone tropo
now what is tropo
well you've been in the
tropics
it's like
it's when you've been
in the tropics too long
like when a white man
moves to Thailand
and just goes
fucking crazy
in the woods
yeah
and just like
let's go off the grid
I cannot wait
you just heard about this
and now you cannot wait
I cannot wait
it sounds great
you have to go move
to the tropics
I don't know how much
you're going to like that.
Well,
you know,
you know,
Laotian jungle.
Well,
I don't want to live in the jungle.
see,
that's going tropo,
man.
No,
no,
I can't go.
I can't go.
I can't go tropo with the,
uh,
four seasons with the air conditioning.
Ah,
that's the one I want.
It's like Marlon Brando in apocalypse now.
Yeah.
Oh,
he's tropo.
He's gone tropo.
Is this,
by the way,
is this a problematic term?
As far as I know, it's
not because it's
derogatory for white
people and we are white
people.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I think it's an
Australian thing.
We're reclaiming this
word.
It definitely sounds
Australian.
Because my dad was
traveling and working
in Southeast Asia for a
long time and he met a
bunch of people who
like, like my dad, he
would come in and out
of these, these places.
He worked in the cement
industry for a long time. So he would go to the jungle somewhere. Yeah. And he would come in and out of these, these places. He worked in the cement industry for a long time.
So he would go to the jungle somewhere and he would be there.
And pave over the whole thing.
And just dig it all up and then pave it over.
And he would come in and out or they'd live for a year or whatever.
But then there was other men who had been there for like 30 years and they, you know,
they just let the jungle life embrace them, except it was their weird white man version.
Like they didn't integrate into the local community.
Jungle life.
Yeah.
I'm far away from.
Anyway.
It's a Baltimore Tarzan boy.
Oh, I do know that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Anyway, some of that.
Yeah.
I was watching.
I watched a documentary.
This very tropo was Werner Herzog. Oh, with the boat. Yes. Yes. Whatever it's called. Yeah. I was watching, I watched a documentary that was very troppo was Werner Herzog.
Oh,
with the boat?
Yes.
Yes.
Whatever it's called.
Yeah.
Burnham Dreams.
He's got to get the fucking,
is it?
Yeah,
he's trying to.
Fitzcarraldo?
No.
Fitzcarraldo,
yeah.
that's the one,
yeah,
yeah,
He's trying to move
an entire ship
over a mountain.
But Burnham Dreams
is about Fitzcarraldo.
It's about the making
of Fitzcarraldo.
Right.
Yeah,
yeah,
Because he's making a movie
about moving a boat,
but while he's making the movie, he actually has to move. Yeah. Yeah. Because he's making a movie about moving a boat, but while he's making the movie,
he actually has to move the boat.
Yeah.
And then they made a movie about that.
And so it's,
there's some bunch of layers here.
Yeah.
It was great.
And it's Werner Herzog.
You remember Werner Herzog's like a real snack.
He's really good looking.
Who's the lead of Fitz Corraldo?
It's another German guy.
Klaus Kinski.
Klaus Kinski,
of course.
The crazy Klaus Kinski. Natasha Kinski Of course The crazy Klaus Kinski
Natasha Kinski's dad
Yes
I have to watch that
University
Speaking of
Caves and
Werner Herzog
Yes
Do you remember
When we went to that
3D
Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Movie
It was up here
On Cambie Street
Wasn't it
It was great
And it was during
A film festival
Oh I remember now
And at the end
One of the producers
Was like It was directed by Werner Herzog,
but one of the producers of the movie was presenting it for the festival.
And it was like, Werner said we could call him after the show.
So he called him and put him on speakerphone.
Microphone.
And I feel like, was Werner Herzog like, oh, yes, I'm just at Home Depot right now.
I was reading about this because there's a scene where he does this whole monologue.
And apparently he did that off camera.
And the director was like, do you mind just redoing that entire monologue on camera?
And he was like, sure.
There's that Fitzcarraldo documentary
There's the
Apocalypse Now one
There's the Johnny Depp one
Where he
It's like Terry Gilliam
Oh yeah the
Fantorium
Yelling at the windmills
Oh yes
He's tilting, you idiot.
Oh, he's tilting.
Oh, sorry.
I don't know what that means.
But it's, I think when a sub-documentarian shows up on your set, that's when you know the movie's not going well.
There was also a dramatization of that, wasn't there?
Of the documentary?
Because wasn't Adam Driver in like a Don Quixote?
We're making Don Quixote.
I don't know.
I forget.
Oh my God, I'm dying here.
Yeah, there was one really good one about the movie Dusk Till Dawn.
And it was.
Oh, that'd be good.
Yeah, it was really good.
One of the things was they were shooting out in the desert.
They had to make this big set.
And then within 24 hours, the set got fire.
It burned to the ground.
That was the.
George Clooney.
Yeah.
Ben Tarantino.
Ben Tarantino starring in it?
Yes.
Jennifer or Juliette Lewis.
Yeah.
The dad.
And.
She was the daughter.
And it was about vampires?
Yeah.
But you don't think it's about
vampires are you okay i've got a real lump in my throat but i'm okay now they're in a bordillo
but yeah when you see the cello the huge part of the set is burnt and they're like yeah that's
because it actually did burn did you say a bordillo yeah an armadillo. Like a bordello for armadillos? Yeah. You never know what you're going to find in the desert.
After dark.
Not bad.
You might be naked and Salma Hayek pouring tequila all over herself.
Or it might be a bunch of armadillos fucking.
I do need to rent that again.
Rolling around together.
Yeah, they're rolling around.
That's how they have sex.
They just create one big ball and just roll around.
Oh, they're going at it
soccer
soccer game
best to stay out of their way
what else
Abby
growing out your hair
growing out your hair
yeah we got two dogs now
oh yeah
two dogs
that's right
that's been a lot
monster and company
yeah
we also
this was going to be
one of my things
but I'll lend it over here
we've celebrated two dog birthdays in the last month.
Nice.
Because we happen to just get dogs at the same time.
Yeah.
Two years in a row.
Yeah.
What did they do for their birthdays?
Well, I feel like when we had Grandpa, our old dog, he would get a hat.
First of all, he was just the best in general.
He was an angel.
Recognize our darling angel.
First of all, he was just the best in general.
He was an angel.
Recognize our darling angel. And we would make him like sort of cookies in the shape of his age.
Okay.
Abby would make a special hat every year.
Every year.
A little something.
Different every year.
I tried.
A whole different theme and look.
Yeah, different shape, different materials.
Yeah, one year it was like a leprechaun hat.
One year it was a princess hat with the-
Ribbons, sure. He had a boater one year. leprechaun hat. One year it was a, you know, a princess hat with the. Ribbons, sure.
He had a boater one year.
Yes.
Witch hat.
And these dogs, because there's two in a month, and they do not want to wear a hat.
And they're fucking freaks.
Oh my God.
What will they wear?
Nothing.
Nothing ever?
Also, Monster, yeah, Monster is two two now and he's about 20 pounds irma is twice
his size and is half his age half his age and like if we ever try to put a sweater on
because monster actually likes wearing like in the wintertime he likes a little raincoat he likes a
little t-shirt a little fleece we have like i'll put it in front of him and he'll like put his paw on it and stand and wait for me to put it on as soon as we put it on him she irma is it irma's like oh he's
now a stuffed toy that i can destroy why are you wearing a shirt what's this how come he gets a
shirt i want a shirt stop wearing the shirt i want to take off the shirt so like we put it on him and
then a minute later it's on the ground she's fully like hockey sweatered him like over his head.
Yeah.
She's written a letter to Mr.
Eaton for a new hockey sweater.
There's a big hockey fight.
Was it last night or the night before the Florida
Panthers and the Vegas or no, was it?
Who was it?
It was the Vegas Knights and somebody's punching
a guy in the ribs.
He got him down.
He just kept punching him in the ribs.
Oh, on the ice?
These are players doing it?
Yeah,
Vander Kane was punching
one of the...
I'm on Reddit
so I only see the...
My Reddit only shows
the fights in the stands.
Oh, in the stands.
I don't care about
any sports coverage.
Just watch me...
Let me watch my
public freakouts.
Usually it's a lot
of face punching
but I've never seen
where somebody on the ground
just giving it to the kid.
This was a thing, yeah.
They did ask him
about it afterwards
and he was...
I forget what he said. But he was like, yeah. It felt ask him about it afterwards and he was, I forget what he said,
but he was like, yeah.
He just felt softer than a face.
Yeah.
He's not,
I could feel where his pads ended
and I could feel where he was.
Yeah, he could just punch all night.
It was great.
I know there's a space
between his chest thingy
and his ant thingy.
I love hockey.
Why don't they protect that area?
I don't know.
Ask C-3PO.
Yeah, that's true.
I guess he's been fine.
I guess he's also repairable.
I'd keep my arm back on.
That's not C-3PO.
C-3PO can't.
He'd have to have somebody.
He needs Chewbacca to carry him in a backpack for a while.
He would be so whiny about it the whole time.
Chewbacca.
It's the minions.
Chewbacca.
It's the minions.
Chewbacca.
So yes, we're two dogs deep.
We're two dogs deep, two kids deep.
We have no rugs in our house or fancy furniture.
Yeah.
Everything is covered in a sheet or a quilt or something. Yeah, like just you can dream about future.
Yeah, vacuum, you know.
Yeah.
Twice a day.
Twice a day?
Between the shit, like the dog's dirty feet.
I sew a lot and my sewing station is in the middle of the house.
So there's also that.
And then the kids.
Ugh.
With their crumbs.
Dave's all gardening and stuff.
Yeah, I garden
I go out in the garden
he's tracking dirt
and I come in
and I shake myself up
yeah
and then I have to wait
for Mr. Clean to show up
he just goes
and then he shows me
how do you summon him again
my shitty husband
comes in
and makes a big
fucking mess
how about that
this is
you're referring to a commercial
not real life right
no David
we talked about this
you're an angel and I love you life right no David we talked about this you're an angel
and I love you
we talked about this
literally though
we didn't talk about this
like two days ago
but Dave's like
I forget why it came up
and I'm like
Dave no no no no
you are not like other men
no no no
do not compare yourself
to them
you are
you exist
you vibrate
on a whole other level
yeah I was comparing myself
to a bunch of men
I had I put up some posters and I was comparing myself to a bunch of men.
I had, I put up some posters and I was like, how about these guys? Hey, what about these guys?
And then me compared.
Don't do that.
And I said, don't you dare, David.
Don't compare yourself to them.
Come on, those two.
Don't even.
What kind of, what type of man is Dave like in this, in this scenario?
Is he a.
What scenario?
Beta cuck.
Yeah, that's right.
Beta cuck dweeb.
Absolute zero.
Absolute loser.
No, I mean.
Sure thing.
Yeah, Dave's. he's a real i'm not like the other boys
i just you know some boys want to be king i just want to dance yeah yeah yeah i understand that
um dave what's going on with you? Well, big thing is... Big news. Dogs had birthdays.
Happy birthday.
As we were saying, the new dogs, they don't...
There's two in a month, and they're not going to tolerate hats anyway.
And if we make a big bunch of cookies in the shape of their birthday number,
they'll just destroy them.
We can't hold them back.
Yeah, it's too hard to keep the other one away
for that long. Right. So,
you know. They're not, yeah, we need to, maybe
on their fourth or fifth birthday, we could maybe
have a little bit more control over the situation
because now it's just. What about Photoshop,
you guys? Photoshop
could get it done. Get AI to do it.
I actually got rid of Photoshop because
it was costing me $30 a month.
Yeah, yeah. And there's new costing me $30 a month. Yeah. Yeah.
And there's new tools now that are much easier. Yeah.
And I was doing my taxes.
I had to do my, well, I didn't have to, but I chose to do my own taxes this year.
How'd that go?
It was very easy.
Yeah.
My dad was doing them before for years.
And, but I did the sync everything up with your account online Canada account.

a letter a month later

and we're not going
to allow it.
So,

The kids did not like them.
They were.
I didn't even have one.
They're horrible.
But thank you.
Yeah.
That's.
Yeah.
That's very funny.
That's funny because we did find out the Twiglets was a thing, but that was because we had to
like, what were those snacks?
Yeah.
Let's try to replicate.
And I, so I, I, but thank you very much for sending them.
I wish there was a smaller container.
I wish they came in like those little.
Like a little lunch pack size.
Yeah.
A little snack size.
You can empty this out and then put your tax receipts in it.
Yeah.
That's what I'm going to do from here on out.
My filing system, it's going to be a.
Yeah.
This is it, 2023.
Just a big like cardboard container for every year.
Yeah.
Just keep buying twiglets,
throwing out the twiglets.
Someone also,
I don't,
you,
someone,
I just got the container.
I didn't get a name.
I didn't have a name.
Oh,
someone sent us from nuts.com.
We must've talked about this six months ago.
Yeah.
Those old,
um,
strawberry candies that are the wrapper looks like a strawberry and. Those old, um, strawberry candies that are, the
wrapper looks like a strawberry and one end is,
um, one end is, uh, green.
Twisted.
Yeah.
One end's twisted, one end's green.
The twisted end is green.
Um, and then, so they sent us these, they're not
the same though.
I had one.
No.
I had one too.
And they're not chewy.
They're not chewy in the middle and they're, and
they're twist on both sides. Gotcha. Yeah. But it's very close. If I, you know, if I're not chewy. They're not chewy in the middle, and they're twist on both sides.
But it's very close.
If I didn't know any better, I would assume those are the right ones.
And it's the same kind of fake strawberry,
like a drawing of strawberry pattern
on the wrapper, which I do like. I like the design.
So thank you, anonymous listener.
Yeah.
I think that nobody...
Because otherwise I would have if there was a letter with it.
But I'm going to take one for later
this will be my
afternoon snack
and the other
thing that was
brung over
boy did we
lol
was
an envelope
addressed to
Dave and Abby
and it doesn't
have an address
or postage
so obviously
this was given
to Graham by hand
and then
lost in a box
somewhere
and it's a very
baby themed
baby toys and stuff on the front it's very cute
April 2014
this is dated
so excited
to hear your baby news
all the best to you Trish Clark
Graham's mom that's right
and then your dad.
Big, big news.
Pretty good, John.
Ah, nice.
Big baby news?
Big, big?
Big baby.
Oh, who cares?
You tell us. Big news.
Big, big news.
Oh, there you go.
You're the expert on your dad's.
Is that how your dad talks?
Does he say big baby a lot or big, big?
He's always saying big, big news whenever I get on the phone with him.
Big news.
Big news.
I'm doing your taxes.
Does your dad do your taxes?
He has done in the past, yes.
And I would do them, but I can't get into my CRA account.
Why don't you just call them?
I did.
Boy, first of all, I'll tell you where your tax money is not going,
to the hold music for the CRA.
It is the weirdest, weirdest music
that they put you on hold to.
It's not even just like...
I would love that.
I would love that.
No, it's just...
It's awful.
But anyways,
I'm locked out of my account.
I don't know how to get in.
I know my password is correct.
What is it?
What's your password? Beep-bop-bloop. Bloop't know how to get in. I know my password is correct. What is it? Huh? What's your password?
Beep-bop-bloop.
Bloop-bloop-bloop.
It's Dave's SIM number.
The, uh...
Boy, I had such a fun thing to say,
and I lost it.
Oh, shit.
I find that's happening more and more,
is like my brain is bad.
Yeah.
Bad brains.
Yeah. Yeah, Bad brains. Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm a.
No worky good anymore.
I started where I will watch.
I watch a movie every day pretty much.
And there are movies that I'll vaguely recognize the title of.
And then I've seen it, but I don't remember it at all.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
Like I don't remember even a second of it.
I can rewatch it and be like. Brand new movie? Yeah. 75% brand new movie? Yeah. Yeah. Like, I don't remember even a second of it. I could re-watch it and be like, maybe
big. Brand new movie? Yeah. 75% brand new movie?
Yeah. Yeah, I've done that before.
That's fairly new within the last
few years. I was, I opened,
I'm a big opener of the fridge and
forgetting what I wanted.
Yes. That's my
tragic downfall. Wasn't there a fridge that had a
camera in it and then you could look at what's inside
on your phone or something? Yeah. And there's also one where you camera in it and then you could look at what's inside on your phone or something?
Yeah.
And there's also one where you tap on it and it shows you.
Yeah, the door turns see-through.
Yeah, but it doesn't.
It's a camera inside. It's a picture or something, yeah.
Because if the door was see-through, you'd just see the condiments.
But if you have to knock on the door, why don't you just open the door?
Exactly.
Yeah.
And you can look on your phone to say oh do i need sour cream and you
see sour cream but is it new sour cream yeah or is it like you still need to go to the fridge and
see if you need to buy a new sour cream i want to be able to just say sour cream and the fridge go
yes sir or no sir depending on three bags full Anyway so that's what's going on with me
Dogs have birthdays and we got some mail
Also the guy who sent us
Those beans
We're working on it
Apparently we got the beans but the
Place doesn't know we got the beans
Yeah I gotta go back and like really hash it out with
What's his name
Mr. Bean Mr. Bean?
Yeah, Mr. Bean.
Yeah.
Mr. Bean's ran beans and Mr. Twigs duck twigs.
So what's going on with you, Graham?
I went to home of the Winnipeg Jets.
I thought you were going to say Home Depot.
I went to Home Depot.
You were?
Yeah, I'll never guess who was there. Giving a speech.
No, I went to Winnipeg.
And in Winnipeg, there's a restaurant called Kevin's.
Yes.
Oh, I've been to Kevin's.
It's so good.
Is it like a diner?
Well, originally.
It sounds like a diner.
No, it's not.
And that's the weird thing is it's like, it started out as an all macaroni restaurant.
Oh, yeah.
I remember Dave telling me about this.
Years ago, he went.
Yeah.
And now it's...
He didn't maybe?
No.
I went alone.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
And that used to be the whole thing.
They had like 10 kinds of macaroni.
Yeah, I had the lobster macaroni and I was underwhelmed.
I shouldn't have gotten the lobster macaroni.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, because your expectations would be so high
And you're in Winnebago
I want it served in like a lobster tail
Is it? No
No that's what you want
So shall I scoop it out for you
Or would you like to do it
Suck the macaroni out of your legs
I also like it when they offer to scoop the food into my mouth
It's a lobster stuffed with
Macaroni
Do you want us to feed you today, sir?
Yes, yes.
Tell me I'm a good boy.
But yeah, so now the menu has changed.
They still have macaroni.
A selection, sure.
But they have other stuff there too.
But like you say, Kevin sounds like a diner kind of place.
Kevin isn't really a name I like a diner kind of place kevin kevin
isn't really a name i associate with diner food no i would think of like it's the Two X's and a Y. That's a place for ribs, Jackson's.
Anyways, the name.
You would assume maybe that it was named after the guy who started it, Kevin.
That would be the logical thing.
That is not correct.
He started it after his parents left him home alone.
That's what I thought.
That's what I thought.
I thought this is a clever thing they've done
where it's Kevin's and it's macaroni and cheese.
If you were home alone, you would eat macaroni and cheese.
Yeah, that's what I thought it was.
And I pitched that to the
server. I was like, is this why it was there?
And the server was so
tickled. Oh, really? Yeah, the server
was like, I've never
thought about that ever. That's great.
Do you think, is Kevin McAllister the world's most famous Kevin?
He's probably the most famous Kevin.
Oh, I mean Kevin O'Leary.
Yeah, Kevin James.
Kevin Sorbo.
Kevin Sorbo.
Yeah.
Kevin Kline.
Yeah.
All the big Kevins.
But yeah, I thought it was macaroni based on Home Alone.
Anyways, the guy thought it was hilarious.
It's actually named after a cat.
Oh, I was thinking like the owner's son or dad or something.
That's what I was thinking.
If it wasn't him, maybe it's his granddad and he owned a diner.
Yeah.
No, it was his cat who owned a diner.
And it's gone.
Named after him.
It's gone high end.
Oh.
Yeah.
Good for them.
Yeah.
Is the macaroni still, is it now high end macaroni?
Like, I don't know, lobster macaroni? Yeah it now high end macaroni like I don't know
lobster macaroni
yeah it's lobster macaroni
because it's gold leafed
caviar
but then
so I ate there
then I went
what's high end
about it now
just the menu's like
more gourmet
and then I have
and it's just like
a nice like
white tablecloth
you know nice
oh sit down place
yeah sit down place
it was pretty nice
when I went
yeah I guess so. It wasn't
slot buckets, that's for sure.
Oh yeah, before you get to your next topic, I meant
to ask you about this
card your parents sent me. Yeah.
For our child who was
born nine years ago. Yeah, almost.
That's her birthright, by the way, when
she turns 18. She gets that
card. So
they gave it to you.
I guess.
And you.
Or left it here.
Yeah,
maybe.
And you were charged with giving it to me.
Yeah.
It didn't happen that way.
Make it.
No,
that's true.
Uh,
did you,
do they know now?
They know now.
They know now.
Did they just think we were in ungrateful assholes who never thanked them for their card and
they've hated us ever since? I don't think they thought twice about it.
No, it's fine.
Well, it was big, big news.
Yeah.
It was big, big news.
When you told that to your dad, he's like, oh, that's big, big news.
That's pretty good.
That's big stuff.
Okay.
Pretty good.
Maybe write that in a letter somewhere.
Or a card.
I feel like writing that down.
Where should I do it?
Yeah, I'll send them a fax.
Sounds like BBN.
Big, big news.
Oh, God.
I was like, is that a star wars thing i don't know
so then i went to a bar and here's the thing that i learned very quickly it's very hard to
to drink after you're so full yeah but i did it i made a run at it and i had a couple of uh whiskey
with ice and that was when they brought over the bill I was like
oh no I had two
whiskeys
she was like
yeah yeah
and I was like
this is
for two
so cheap
so cheap
and I was like
trying
I couldn't process
it in my head
your brain just didn't
know what to do
with that information
are you going to
make us guess
how cheap it was
for two
it was
let me guess
very cheap
this is doubles.
Two doubles.
Two doubles.
Ooh, 22 bucks.
$9.
$12.
Whoa, that's nuts.
What kind of whiskey was it?
Like, Jesus.
Okay.
What kind of ice was it?
Oh, crystal.
Diamond.
Diamond ice.
Whoa, that's the best.
But yeah, so I was like,
I guess we'll have another.
Throw away that receipt.
Start again.
So if you're ever going to make cheap booze,
real... I mean, that's cheaper than it is
for me to drink at home, which I do constantly.
I'm usually
having two double whiskeys with...
With lunch?
With my lunch of ice.
That's how I keep so trim.
Yeah, if you want to have a good time
in Winnipeg, that's where you head.
Alcohol's ready for you.
Who's waiting for you?
I haven't really been to bars much
in the last few years.
Post-COVID.
And parenting and then COVID.
We've just not been
not going out after 4 p.m but i remember that you should kind of like strategically price things
because it's also in the days of cash there's oh sure they price things to make the cash make
sense and like yeah like oh this drink is four dollars okay i guess you're getting a dollar tip
right yeah yeah but uh it's all out the window.
I assume it's,
it's well,
because now it's just a percentage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
That's,
uh,
like a week,
no,
two weeks ago,
I was part of a,
an art show in this like independent gallery.
And I knew you,
you spray painted yourself gold and pretended you were a statue.
No,
I,
I, I tied myself up and said, you can do yourself gold and pretended you were a statue? No, I tied myself up
and said,
you can do
whatever you guys want to me.
People would chew on gum
and then just stick it to your body?
Yeah.
But I knew because it was a gallery
they might need cash
as opposed to
they might not have a tap.
So I got cash out of the bank
and I forgot how slippery money is
in Canada.
Especially this new stuff, right? Yeah. So when I pulled it out of the bank and I forgot how slippery money is. Especially this new stuff, right?
Yeah.
So when I pulled it out of my pocket, it was just like.
Make it rain.
Yeah.
I forgot all about cash.
An ATM lobby.
Yeah.
It was.
It's cartoonish.
It's freaky.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I like that.
I had to pick up some of those Girl Scout cookies.
I got some cash.
Oh, yeah. We'll help you. To pick up some of those girl scout cookies. I got some. Oh, yeah.
We'll help you.
Yeah.
You'll see it on your floor.

riding a skateboard and doing a cool trip oh Shit. A long existing urban legend is that the four-year-old boy has cancer,
which is one of the reasons why his parents always let him get his way.
However, this simply isn't true.
He gets his way because he's a whiny suckle.
But his parents also suck.
He's got bad parents.
Yeah.
So you got one.
And the other one was I was at shoppers in the seasonal aisle around easter
time and i was just looking for regular just whatever i could find for the kids hey to put
in a basket yes oh that plastic hey absolutely it's paper now oh is that yeah and i reuse it
every year still reuse it um but there's two young women walking around looking for, they were just talking and looking and like selecting products and stuff.
Women love products.
Women, they be shopping.
And one of them says, I don't know, like it's a dinner party.
So we should bring something, maybe something like how about some chocolate for after dinner?
That'd be nice.
And they start looking at all the Easter chocolates.
I'm like, what about this?
And what about this? And what about this? And then the other girl stops and says,
wait, isn't everyone
there Jewish?
And the girl's like,
good point. Maybe we try something.
Maybe we get some like veggies and dip or something.
Oh, that sucks.
If you find out I'm Jewish and I

I think you're thinking of The Spy Who Loved Me.
Yes.
Yes.

I think you're thinking of The Spy Who Loved Me.
Yes. Yes.
The
and there was an old woman
and she was
there was a pharmacist
was like had left the
pharmacy area and was like helping her find a product
and
he took out it was one of those blood
pressure sleeves. Yeah.
I guess that you can buy and use at home, I'm sure.
Sphagnonominator.
Something like that.
Sphagnonominator.
It's the Sphagnonominator.
Sphagnum.
Perpetrator.
Yes, perpetrator.
Thank you.
Sphagnum.

The stuff that used to be in pads.
In pads.
I don't think they do it anymore.
In natural pads.
Anyway, she's getting her blood pressure monitor thing,
and the guy's opening it up for her,
takes it out of the box,
and puts it on her arm,
and he says,
this one fits most people who live
in this area.
Sure.
We feel like
the neighborhood's
got kind of
a size vibe
but yeah
let's try this one on.
Where are you from?
Wait are you from
this neighborhood?
Do you live around here?
What are you
kind of a commercial
drive person?
Well you can try it on
I don't know if it fits.
I can't promise anything.
This kind of only fits
people from this area.
From this elbow
to shoulder area?
I guess I have
noticed mine is
similar to
everybody else's
in the neighborhood.
Yeah.
I guess I start
paying attention
when I go to
their neighborhoods,
I guess.
Every time I
shake somebody's
hand, I'm like,
where does my
hand end and
where do they
begin?
Oh, boy.
I was down by
the docks in a
whole other area
and there was
this guy with
huge forearms
and very skinny upper arm
and then boy
he sucked some spinach
through his pipe and his forearm
turned into like a steamship
oh boy
who is this guy you're talking about?
I don't know he was strong to the finish because he eats his spinach
and he kicked my ass
because I was you know
trying to
put the moves on his skinny little
girlfriend. Not to body
shim. Yeah. You probably
feel one of those cuffs over her whole body
that don't want to talk about it.
She does not live in this area.
Yeah, she's one of those
docks gals.
Don't docks gals. No, don't.
Don't. Let's not um my overheard is just actually from the
walk over here i was like do i have an overheard today i passed three construction workers and one
of them said boy it's supposed to be hot and the other one said
nice referring to the weather yeah well maybe not maybe it's a little arring to the weather? Yeah. Well, maybe not. Maybe he gets a little aroused by the weather.
Rawr.
Ooh, have you seen the sun in those sunglasses?
I'm trying to test the shades.
Wear over by the Raisin Bran.
Do you think they still have two scoops in there?
Yeah, by law.
Says all right in the box.
Yeah, it's like Zellers.
Lowest price is the law.
Two scoops.
Definitely two scoops. Don't say what size the scoops are. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah. It's like Zellers. Lowest price is the law. Two scoops. Definitely two scoops.
Um,
don't say what size.
No,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no.
We're not going to talk about whatever the amount is.
Cut it in half.
That's one scoopy.
Uh,
what,
uh,
did you go to the Zellers when they redid Zellers?
No,
I haven't because I don't think our,
the Bay has it.
Yeah.
I don't think it's good
I loved Zellers
me too
I loved Zellers
but I did
not
but I
think people think
they loved Zellers
but Zellers
you know
smelled bad
and had
stained floors
and ceilings
it was always a mess
but they had what
I was looking for
yeah
and cheap
yeah
Zellers for our
American listeners
is a Canadian
sort of like
It's like a Target
but not Target.
And then it went
out of business
20 years ago
and they've
since been like
we're bringing back
every time they bring
back anything old
like that
they never are
really doing it.
Right.
It's just some
publicity stunt.
It's never gonna last.
It's not a thing
that's gonna be around
for 20 years
we'll burn through
our money in about
5 years
and then we'll
pack up
what did you ever
buy at a
Zellers that you
remember
school supplies
yeah I would get
some back to school
clothes
yeah back to school
clothes
houseware stuff
like a new
bath mat
I remember we went
to Zellers for
everything
it was like the
cheap
department store
we went to
Zellers or we
went to Byway yes Byway they had the like the cheap department store. We went to Zeller's or we went to Byway.
Yes.
Ooh, Byway.
They had the bins.
You had to search through
to find a matching shoe.
The best.
Now, London Drugs.
Now that place has got a smell.
Yeah.
London Drugs,
he said nobody does it better.
Zeller's.
Lowest price is the law.
One of the lowest prices
of the law.
Zeddy,
there's a new sheriff in town.
Yeah.
Poor Zeddy.
Zeddy was the...
Was he a bear? He was a bear. He was the mascot. Yeah. He Zeddy. Zeddy was the... Was he a bear?
He was a bear
that wore a t-shirt.
Yeah.
He's dead now.
How did he die?
He was in a showdown
with somebody else
who was like...
On public freak out.
Oh my God.
Yeah, they were saying,
I'm the law.
It was Judge Dredd
who killed him.
Oh my God.
He doesn't take no shit
that Judge Dredd.
Now we also have
overheard sent in
by people
from all over the world now you were telling
me you don't want to do this anymore i think we're good i think you're good you told me in private
we talked about this before you were like this is the worst part of the show yeah we should just
skip the phone calls um listener don't worry graham and i don't talk i was out of the show
we keep it all fresh i blindsided him with that one
uh this first one comes from danny f in chicago danny f man from oingo boingo
is that a real thing no danny elf no elfman. Oh, Elfman. Yes, okay. I was walking in Chicago and passed a couple, and in a nerdy voice, the guy said to his girlfriend,
so then he said, let me out of prison or I'll send Dracula after you.
What a dork.
What a dork was part of it?
No, I just added it.
What a dorkus, you know?
That he'd be saying that to somebody else.
Way to go.
Come on, Caillou.
What a threat,us, you know? That he'd be saying that to somebody else. Way to go. Come on, Caillou. Yeah, whatever.
That's right, Caillou.
Let me out of prison or I'll send Dracula after you.
I don't think that's dorky.
I think it's a good...
You think that's a good use of a Dracula?
Did a six-year-old tell you this?
Yeah.
This is an argument a six-year-old would make.
Yeah.
Well, it was a couple.
We know that.
So it may have been a couple of six-year-olds.
Maybe he was quoting.
Ooh, I have a different overheard, but it's a longer story.
I would like to hear it.
Sorry, we're all out of time.
We're going to let you on another five years.
This is somebody, Arlene from Ontario.
She's in Alberta.
They're boarding a plane back to Ontario.
There was a fellow passenger having a very loud phone conversation.
Probably the least private place to have a discussion.
That's true.
The part we could hear of this telephone call was him telling someone,
we decided not to get married after all, so I'm on my way home.
We're going to stay friends.
Whoa.
Shit.
That's what I was still thinking.
Yeah.
We're going to be really good.
We're going to be the best of friends.
Yeah, I'm coming home
early. You know, that whole thing
came for a... Don't worry, it didn't
work out. But it's fine.
We're friends now
and it's great. We're better as friends.
Yeah. We threw our rings into
the sea. In Alberta.
That's right.
It's going great. Into the cowboy sea.
In the middle of Alberta.
I don't know. You're from there. I believe you.
To get all the way to the altar
and then be like,
she didn't leave me at the altar.
We're going to be friends.
Actually, it was the priest's fault because he said,
do you want to just be friends?
And we both said yes.
They should offer that.
Yeah, that should be part of the package.
Do you want us to do a last minute?
Well, they let other people have an opportunity to shut the whole thing down.
You should let the two people who are doing it have a chance to shut it down at the last minute, too.
That's the best part about being a janitor at a church.
Because you get to, any time, say, I oppose.
Just kidding, you guys. Yeah, these two are brother and sister just kidding no they're not the other best part of being a janitor is
getting all that rice eating all that rice that's right free rice but then your stomach explodes
yeah wait so like us those yeah those jan. I got janitors and pigeons mixed up.
Yeah.
They both wear gray.
That's right.
Yeah.
More brown.
This one is from Jessica in Kansas City.
This is in the vein of Dave's boring dreams.
I dreamt that I went to my bank to discuss changing my savings account.
But I never got around to it because I just made small talk with the banker
until I woke up.
Nice.
Just having small talk with a stranger in your dreams.
Yeah.
Nice.
So, anyways.
The weather today.
Big game this weekend.
I had a dream last night that I was on a podcast.
A different podcast that I listened to.
I won't say which.
Joe Rogan.
But then I was, I felt like it did not go well.
That's why I don't want to say which.
But then afterwards, me and the two hosts of that show, we left and a guy came at us with a knife, but he was very wobbly.
Nice.
And I started running away.
And they were like, don't run away from this.
We can just push him over.
This is not a threat.
Now, Abby, before I get to the next part of the show, did you have another overheard?
I did.
I remember.
I'll cut it short because it can be a very long story.
When I was walking,
we're in Karestan.
We have plenty of time.
I was walking and I was,
I think I'd just come out
of a store or a coffee shop
and I was on my phone
and I wasn't really
paying attention
to what was going on around me
and I'm just slowly
walking to the corner
to cross the street
to get to my car,
yada, yada, yada.
And I can hear two people
or one person having a conversation with another person in front of me speaking very loudly, very energetically, very like big arms, big voice, lots to say.
And the other person is practically silent, whatever.
And we get to the corner and we're waiting for the light to change.
And I hear it's a man and a woman probably maybe 50s 60s and i hear the man
turn to the woman and say but you wouldn't understand that because you're too stupid
and before i even realize what's happening i look up and i've said you can't say that to her
and then i talked i look at the woman i say you do not need to talk to a person who treats you
like this like you like do you do not need to entertain this wow to have someone talk to you
like this and the guy is getting so mad at me he is escalating screaming he's like you don't know
what you're talking about and And was she like, I am stupid.
Yeah, he's right.
Don't be shit.
So, and I'm, again, I'm mostly focusing on the woman.
I don't have time for this guy.
And I'm just saying like, I'm going this way.
Do you need to come with me?
And the guy's screaming.
And he's like, I'm not even talking about her.
I'm talking about Christine Taylor.
And in my mind, I'm like, Ben Stiller's wife?
Or like,
I'm trying to think,
is there a politician
named Christine Taylor?
My mind is racing.
Who the fuck is Christine Taylor?
And he was saying,
he was quoting like
he was talking to
this Christine Taylor person.
He was calling her stupid.
Not his sister,
who I realize
is the person he's talking to.
She's just listening to this story.
And she's just like, this obviously, like now that I've put together, she said, I'm talking to my sister any who I realize is the person he's talking to. She's just listening to this story. And she's just like this, obviously, like now that I've put together.
She said, I'm talking to my sister any way I want.
I wasn't even talking to her.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And in my mind, I'm like, oh my God, you poor fucking woman have been stuck with this man as your brother your whole life.
And you were just used to, it's okay.
Hand on the shoulder.
It's fine.
I understand.
I can blah, blah, blah, can't christine taylor is stupid
he's dirt although she's very good in the brady bunch movie yeah so and then and then i immediately
like oh i'm sorry i misread the situation my like i'm profusely apologizing i did not mean
to interrupt it is not my he is still screaming at me.
Oh Jesus.
And now he's screaming at me about me.
Right.
Not about Christine Taylor or his sister.
Okay.
And I'm walking away.
He's still screaming at me.
We,
we split up at a corner.
He stays to turn to go another way.
And I keep walking.
I luckily I had it in,
in the,
in the moment.
I was like
I'm really sorry
for interrupting you
I absolutely misunderstood
it still seems like
you're a piece of shit
wow
and then I walked away
wow
and then I turned around
and was like
oh my god
I can't believe
I thought to say that then
wow
I didn't think of it
five minutes later
in my car
the usually demure
Abby Shumka
all of a sudden
picking street fights at any point did anyone I've heard this story before but I forget Think of it five minutes later in my car. The usually demure Abby Schumacher all of a sudden.
At any point, did anyone in the... I've heard this story before, but I forget.
Did anyone in the thing...
Like, no one laughed?
No.
No one was like, oh, no, I mean the other Christine Dale?
But we talked about that.
Maybe you and I, after it happened, how, like, this could have been such a funny thing.
Oh, yeah.
Had this guy not been a piece of shit.
Had he not continued yelling at me.
I was so ready to take the blame and take the hit.
It's my bad.
I'm absolutely in the wrong.
And I was like, nope.
You suck.
I could imagine that if I was like.
Can you imagine telling that story later?
Oh my God, this woman came up to me
and she thought I was talking to my sister.
And we laughed.
Oh, we laughed.
Such a misunderstanding.
Then I just yelled at her some more.
Yeah, then I just screamed.
And then she called me a piece of shit.
And I was like, you know what?
You're right.
Well, that's a great one, Abby.
That is a great one.

Hi, Dave Graham,
Impossible Guest. I just saw
a car. No, this is Phillip
from Minneapolis. I just saw a car
with a license plate cover that said,
beep beep, I love to drive my car.
No friggin' way. No friggin' way,
man. That's the license
plate frame I need. Yeah.
Oh, that's great. I love driving, beep beep.
Beep beep. Yeah, Oh, that's great. I love driving, beep beep. Beep beep.

Jim Poplinski's auto, yes.
Yeah.
Wolf Subaru.
From the Richmond Auto Mall.
Yeah.
Boy, I don't know
where I saw this video
or maybe it was like
on a car show,
but I just remember
seeing a clip of being like, when you buy your car from a dealership, they will put their proprietary license plate holder on.
License plate frame.
You can ask them to not do that.
It's going to cost you extra, though.
Because you do not need to do free advertising for them.
Heaven forbid.
Yeah.
But I don't mind, you know, if they gave me a good deal.
Sure.
Yeah, which they did because I'm an expert negotiator.
Yeah, and then when I go back to, like, get it checked up, they know it's from there.
That's the proof.
Yeah, and they treat you better.
Yeah.
I'm like, yeah, I'll give you, I'll pay you an extra thousand dollars if you can take
that thing off.
No deal.
Yeah, no deal.
Don't know how.
It's integral to the car. It'll fall apart. Structural integrity. Yeah, exactly. Beep, beep. V Yeah, no deal. Don't know how. It's integral to the
car.
It'll fall apart.
Structural integrity.
Yeah, exactly.
Beep, beep, vroom,
vroom.
I love to drive a car.
And finally.
Hello, Dave and
Graham and possible
guests.
This is Louie from
Calgary.
I was listening to
your episode with
Aaron Eves and it
reminded me of a
time in my 30s
When I was required to
Go see a proctologist
And the proctologist
Was a South African gentleman
His name was Dr. Cock
K-O-K
No friggin' way
No friggin' way? Yes friggin' way
Dr. Cock
Cocktologist
Yeah
He's in the wrong area
Yeah
Put the camera up
Yeah
Instead of there
Yeah
They do it too
They'll do it
Oh sure
They'll do it
Put the camera up
Your pee hole
They don't give a shit
They've got all sorts
Of different cameras
And you know
As long as there's
A good director
That knows what they're doing
Yeah man
Yeah
You see all those Cave paintings on the inside?
Do a nice little dub.
But then a documentarian comes by to videotape you.
You are bad.
Oh, no.
This is going to be bad.
Oh, no.
This is going to be an unfinished penis.
I knew it was trouble when they used the same size camera for the penis and the butt.
And it was a film
camera. It's not video. So we had to
keep reloading. Check the gate.
You're gonna want to check the gate. There's gonna
be a lot of hair there. I guarantee it.
Ray, y'all, ma.
Please don't interrupt our pee-pee poo-poo
talk with hair.
Well, oh hair. Well.
Oh, boy.
Well, this has been nothing short of a blast.
Abby, thank you so much for being our guest.

and say, hey, how do I send stuff to you? Yeah. So, go to
MaximumFun.org. The problem is we switched
UPS stores. The UPS store closed and then switched to a very similar address.
Just up the street. Just up the street.

Sometimes people have been sent the old address.
Yes.
So...
But I'm reasonably certain that the one on the website is the correct one.
Yes.
Okay.
