Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 807 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who, just like anybody out there,
looking forward to Labor Day, has got his white shorts all picked up, Mr. Dave Shumka.
Well, you can't wear it after Labor Day, so.
I know, but why would I break them out just for labor day
because you forgot the rule and you thought that uh no i got plenty of time and now you realize
no you can you can wear them longer now with global war oh okay yeah yeah and i don't think
it's just shorts i think it's white pants white uh well it was just pants and shorts i guess you
can wear a white shirt anytime you want that's's true. What if that was the rule?
That you can wear a white shirt anytime you want?
No, that you had to stop wearing white shirts on Labor Day.
And it was enforced by the fashion police
who walked up and down the street with Gucci truncheons.
Yeah, I was going to say they're real thugs, those fashion police.

Yeah since we last chitty chatted
I'm living in the big city of Toronto
Ontario now Now since we last chitty chatted i'm living in the big city of toronto ontario now now since we last chatted had we you were moving you're about to move you're about to
think it was yeah yeah i was about to move i was i had one foot in the car car was running
dave was giving me the hurry upside and you were just starting the podcast i'll be up there in an hour and a half just hold on a
second i got one more podcast to do that that would literally when i was a kid my dad would
start a project as we were waiting in the car to go somewhere yeah just yeah you just we'd be
sitting up there and then he'd be like sawing something or trimming a bush.
Dad, we're going to Costco.
Get in here.
Or church.
The church was also a get in here kind of time. For me, Costco is my church.
And the samples are my communion.
You walk up to them and cross your arms over your chest and just open your mouth and
hope that they put it in for you yeah body of christ waffle of grace is this uh is this cheese
of christ let me check yeah yeah yeah it is my manager says he doesn't know how to answer that question
um so you've gone to toronto do you like it do you enjoy your your situation that you've got
set up there yeah your situation ship what's your situation tell us about your sitch my
situation ship with toronto uh i do love it i love this city it city. It's a big bustling city. It's not that different from
Winnipeg. Lots going on. All the movers and shakers. Never a dull moment. But in Winnipeg,
the moments that aren't dull is because the knives are so sharp. Here, it's the sounds and the smells.
sharp yes yeah here it's uh the sounds and the smells when i was last in winnipeg i think when you were still around there was a uh non-stop rash of uh liquor store robberies yeah the people
were just walking and taking what they want just walking right out the door and uh this was
happening in teens teens got into it in a big way, if I recall correctly. The whole city got behind it.
It was like these groups of teens, like a spread like wildfire, like a TikTok dance, you know, where these teens would just like go in six deep and just grab as many bottles as they can and run out of the store.
of the store. Now, if you want to get liquor in Manitoba, you have to
wait outside, be buzzed
in by a security person, slide your ID
under, slip someone five bucks,
do a little dance, make a little love,
get down tonight.
What was that, Billy Vera?
Yeah.
But I think I heard
that that's maybe spreading globally like these
teens shoplifting did you hear like in the in the uk there was like a day of shoplifting where they
went to all the fancy shops and like ran out like a bunch of teens would just run and it was like a
tiktok thing they just ran in grabbed his arms full of clothes and ran out that's good because
like there's strength in numbers yeah and also as an adult you get the point of view that security
guards don't give a shit and are not going to give chase for 15 an hour or whatever they're paid yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah like you think as a as a kid you're like oh the security guard's totally
gonna bust me but they're not there's like a 1 in 20 chance that you end up with a maniac security guard.
Totally.
That goes after.
Most of them are just like, the ones at Chopper's Drug Mart, they're so friendly.
They don't want to be there.
They don't want to be there.
They don't give a shit.
No.
They're probably stealing at the end of their shift.
Yeah, exactly.
Stealing security guard outfits.
Yeah.
Going home and then acting out
security guard stuff
LARPing
yeah
you should have seen me today
they don't actually
work there
just live action role playing
security guard
I was thinking about that the other day you could technically live action role playing security card i was thinking about that the other day you could
technically you could technically live action role play anything that's true live action role play
yourself into the career you want instead of yeah yeah you dress if you dress like a businessman
you just hang out downtown something's gonna happen yeah exactly have you ever heard that
story about like steven spielberg was on the universal tour
and then snuck out and just found a desk and sat down at it and started working that sounds made
up right that doesn't sound like a real thing that could happen well why was there a universal
tour without jaws existing already that's a very good question yeah yeah what would that be like i guess this is where jaws will be yeah
psycho is uh psycho i think was the big thing that they oh yeah yeah yeah um have you seen
the fablemans no no okay well neither of you guys have flown recently uh oh yes that does seem like a perfect airplane uh movie yeah it's uh it's good
it's a uh steven spielberg biopic without being a biopic right right is it a sexy movie it's a
little bit well his mother it's more raunchy yeah his mother is a big raunchy lady that was the part that was true in the biography was yeah his mom's a raunchy lady
raunchy ronda his mother is played by michelle williams not the one from uh
oh yes the third will always have to make that specification when they're in like you know
in the offices around hollywood like can we get michelle williams yeah she's not part of that
band anymore we could probably get her no problems we wanted her to play uh marilyn monroe uh yeah
yeah we can get her you don't want kelly roland she was in the the Halloween movie, so maybe you do want her.
And then they got,
and then they got,
so the dad is Paul Dano.
Oh yeah.
And then,
but then the mom is having an affair with Seth Rogen.
Whoa.
Really?
Yeah.
Seth Rogen's in a movie where,
is it Michelle Williams?
No.
Or he's a sausage?
It's Sausage Party.
There's a movie where somebody cheats on him,
and I can't remember if it's Michelle Williams or...
Oh, Take This Waltz.
Yeah.
Is that Michelle Williams?
Yeah, it just might be.
Ah, the turnabout's fair play then.
Huh.
Yeah.
I heard that was written by Christopher Waltz's wife.
Is he related to Christoph Waltz?
Dick is Waltz, please.
Take this Waltz, please.
Take this Waltz, please.
Graham, do you remember a...
Boy, am I going to get this wrong.
There was a comedian named Klaus Meyers
who was like a...
Classic.
Borscht Belt?
No, he was like a late 80s, early 90s
take on what we thought Germans were.
He was an American guy.
I think his name was Jim Meyers.
Oh.
And he could do like a spot on German accent.
Little round glasses yeah
and his i remember one of his jokes was uh take my wife i commend you
but one of his one of his other jokes was uh
since that wall came down my handball game has gone to hell
since that wall came down, my handball game has gone to hell.
Yeah, fuck.
That guy ruled.
At the end of his set, he would break character.
They apparently
at Just for Laughs, they're like, stay in character the whole time.
And then that was it.
That's all he ever did. He had that one bit.
And
I was watching.
Remember when just for laughs,
wasn't just comedians.
Like there was also like weird sideshow kind of like buskers that would be on
stage.
Yeah.
And there was a guy,
do you remember this guy that would swallow?
Yes.
That's who I was thinking of too.
He was.
Yeah.
No,
he wouldn't swallow swords.
He'd like light bulbs and all this kind
of stuff and he would like swallow it or keep it in his esophagus goldfish yeah he would drink out
yeah he would throw the goldfish and drink the water bring the water back out and the goldfish
and then he would also be able to take coins and then spit them back out in order of value
oh yeah and this was like that was as good as like a jerry
seinfeld set like they were both probably on the same show yeah where's his sitcom yeah
what's the deal with
well it's about a guy, and it's sort of
like a show about nothing, but he also
regurgitates everything.
Have you regurgitated this? Have you seen this?
Or is he like, is he an
action figure that he can, you know,
like he swallows a gun and you don't
know he has a gun on him and then he regurgitates.
And then the bullets, one at a time yeah one at a time into the gun that would be cool i wonder what he's like in airport security
oh yeah he's just got all sorts of he doesn't even pack a bag it's just all yeah
it would be terrible he's like oh you're not allowed to bring liquids anymore that's okay i swallowed a bunch of shampoo i'll regurgitate it up on the plane
just a whole whole clam chowder yeah and then like reassemble it on the way up as clams
component separate the clam and the chowder yeah
and that was like the true blue era
of just relax when he would have those
there was a guy that didn't
he was from like somewhere in India
and he did shadow puppets
do you remember this guy that could do
like complicated shadow puppets
anyways it was a different time
it was a different time
you can't get away with that these days
no yeah no yeah exactly
I bet there are still like just for laughs
you know you see your friends when you go
presumably
yourself
but like
I'm sure if you were like
if you really read the lineup there would be like
the thunder from down on right and puppetry of the people right
oh man podcasts when i was yeah now it's all podcasts there's no thunder from down under
no no no that's the big uh that's the big male kind of strip show in las vegas is the thunder down under there yeah i've
heard that's fun i heard it's a fun show oh yeah you go there with the with the gals from the office
pool and yeah what's what are they pooling oh i don't know their resources i suppose
do you guys mind if i plug something right quick off the top? Yeah. Yeah.
By the way,
we had a bunch of technical details before the show started.
So I thought Tim was going to say,
it's okay if I plug something into my computer to make this sound worse.
Yeah.
Do you want me to,
should I start recording?
Um,
no,
I'm actually launching a new podcast. Uh, it's's called it's the puppetry of the penis podcast
so you hear a bunch of sounds and then i explain what my penis looks like
this is a world war one tank and it goes something like this.
I can't wait to hear it.
I can't wait to hear it.
I'd love to have you guys as guests.
Yeah.

Anyways. Uh, yeah. So Toronto's been going great yeah yeah you've got this new podcast you're plugging yeah yeah yeah now before you uh uh you were you had a podcast called a hunks podcast
yes there's a podcast called hunks and uh was that still going when you moved to Toronto?
Yeah, it was still going up until June.
We did like, I think a two-part finale
that was a really fun recap of all the crazy stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We left it on.
Yeah, it was like our version of the Mission Impossible movie
where it was too long and unnecessary.
Ooh, shots fired. I know i i'm sorry tom
i i know you're a listener but uh i like the mission impossible movies and that one i thought
was a real stinker the new one the new one yeah it just didn't need to be in two parts it didn't
need yeah i haven't seen it yet but i'm really looking forward to it i've heard nothing but good
things i mean yeah the whole movie is really boiled down to what crazy stunt he did that the rest of it is
yes yes and then they're great they're great the stunts are great it's being rain still in a van
somewhere being like you got to get out of there tom oh dude he's in a fucking van. Nice. Yeah. Yeah.
And the soul patch is back.
You better believe it is.
Simon Pegg. And they're like, people just keep showing up because the vans keep getting more and
more extreme.
Yeah, exactly.
He's sitting in a real van in this movie.
It's not a set.
You could tell it's just B-roll of him eating his lunch.
Because they wanted to fill so much time.
Yeah.
If you saw the whole movie, like if you got a Blu-ray and it's the whole movie from his point of view,
and it's just him talking on the radio and yeah, eating a sandwich, scrolling through his phone.
Yeah.
Going to see the new Top Gun.
Yeah, going to see the new Top Gun.
There's a, I forget what movie,
but there's like in the new Mission Impossible,
there's a, maybe it's the new,
or one of the Fast and Furious movies,
but there's like this chase scene through Rome and then they're almost shot for shot
the exact same thing.
Like they're shooting,
they're going through the same spots, they're going through the same spots.
They're crashing through the same walls.
I thought that,
Oh,
as like a fast and the furious movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like the exact same location for both of these big action scenes.
Yeah.
I went and saw the latest one and I,
up until the last second,
I didn't know that it was two parts.
So I was like,
uh,
in that last few minutes, I was like,
boy, they got a lot of stuff to wrap up in this five minutes here.
You're giving them the hurry up sign?
Yeah.

every day i miss like uh some people in winnipeg absolutely like the the city itself in toronto i
think it's beautiful like i'm coming from uh d, you'll know this, a zone six gardening climate in Winnipeg.
Sure.
Now I'm in a zone three.
So you can imagine the flora, the fauna.
Yeah.
Well, you know why you shouldn't be gardening with fauna.
Some fauna is edible.
Don't plant fauna is edible i guess don't plant fauna though i do whatever i wanna is the six better than the three what on what scale is it the higher it goes the worse yeah the colder i think
the colder the shorter the growing time the harsher the climate, the less varietals. Yeah, you'll need hardier plants.
Hardier plants, your kales.
Sure.
You know, et cetera.
Yeah.
Stuff.
Do you have a garden?
Are you gardening out that way?
No, I'm just enjoying all the gardens around me.
The guy that lives in the basement here at this place we're living in,
he set up this freaking garden that's just like the stairs
that go from the sidewalk down into the basement.
And he has tomatoes and peppers and beans growing like crazy.
His whole stairwell is turned into a full garden.
And he has it arched over the top and stuff.
It's pretty wild.
It's pretty awesome.
How urban is your area?
Is there a chance people might pee into his garden no no i don't think so no because it's it's we're right on
ozington sorry i'm picking up a toronto accent totally dude
we're right on right on right on at oosington um but uh yeah yeah i
walk peggy in the neighborhood
all the time and i walked by this
like ladies uh front yard and i
was like oh beautiful front yard
milady and she's like this old
italian nona or whatever and she
she like brought me into her
backyard if you know what i mean
yeah yeah absolutely i'm picking
it up she gave me like
a whole tour of her big beautiful garden that she's been working off for 20 years
and she like barely spoke english but we still we figured it out
and that was freaking adorable you kidding me that was nice yeah
depressed got shingles uh oh yeah you got shingles that's right shingles. Oh, yeah, you got shingles. That's right. Got shingles.
You guys ever had shingles?
My dad's had it, and he says it's fucking rough.
It's fucking rough.
Is that the Sean Connery dating website?
I'm looking for shingles.
I got talked down because of Tuma, and that gets through.
Any of you shingles want to join me on shatterbait
i'm the late sean cotterie
uh what's shingles like it's a bad uh rash it's a bad rash uh do you remember chicken pox
yeah vaguely you Did you have them?
Yes.
Let's just say I was born in North America in 1980.
So we didn't have a vaccine for that yet.
So your crotch is two pounds lighter and you had chicken pox.
Two pounds?
According to you.
Your words.
Your words.
Hi, my name is Dave and i have a two pound foreskin i did anyway it could have been i've been trimming it back though i gotta trim it down regularly like my nails
can i just get a little off the back please yeah
got a bullet yeah no sorry yes it's a chicken pot really yeah so what uh the thing is i talked to
like three different doctors they told me like three different things about shingles it's one
of those things that people don't really have a full explanation for why it happens other than
stress uh brings it about but the this doctor told me that once you get the chicken pox virus
it lays dormant in your nervous system and then at some point it can manifest itself as
shingles basically shingles is like um uh there's this the skin rash that everybody knows about that
like you can see pictures of it looks really nasty and that feels like a second degree burn like it
feels like your skin is on fire like my whole right leg had it and my butt had it and so like
if my butt tapped against something, I would feel
it burning down my whole
leg like a forest fire spreading.
And then I had like this insane
nerve and joint pain in
my hip and my knee and my
ankle. I couldn't stand for
more than like 10 minutes at a time.
I spent five weeks
in bed just writhing in pain because
there's no painkiller that can do anything about it.
Cause it's all in the nervous system.
It's just like false signals being sent to your brain that your leg is under
attack.
And so they just say that you have to just live through it.
You got to ride it out.
Yeah.
If you,
if you detect it early enough,
then you can get this like steroid type medication that lessens the severity
of it.
But I had like a week of insane joint pain.
I went to St. Joseph's Hospital here.
St. Joe's!
St. Joe!
Where my Joe boys at?
They did like the blood test.
They did the CT scan.
They did a freaking x-ray All that stuff
And they, you know, 10 hours later sent me home with no answers
I still had no idea what was wrong with me
And then I got this, skin rashes showed up
And immediately it was like, oh, it's shingles
It's shingles
Shingles me timbers
What
I did a blood test that turned out it was marinara sauce
That's right, Dave's got blood type ragu.
Yeah, that's true.
That's because of this Italian nonna in my neighborhood showed me her backyard.
She cursed me to be Italian.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ragu.
Then there's a vaccine.
You just call them mozza sticks?
Yeah. Then there's a, there's a, you just call them monster sticks.
There's a vaccine for it, but they don't give it to you
until you're like 50,
right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can buy it.
It's 400 bucks.
Um,
but I don't,
have you had,
you've had Chris Wilson
on this podcast,
right?
Yeah.
He's a very funny
400 bucks.
Yeah.
$400.
He's had shingles
not once
not twice
but three times
in addition to
chicken pox
I guess
yeah
chicken pox
happens when you're a kid
and so
I don't know
the chicken pox
backstory
you'll have to have him back on
you'll have to ask him yourself
no
but
yeah
yeah so he
but he got he got the vaccine like between the i think second and third time and he said the third
time he had it it was like very mild very chill but he still gets it like still got it he gets it
every winter yeah do you yeah dave have either of your daughters had chickenpox? No, they're vaccinated.
They don't.
Oh, there's a chickenpox vaccine now.
Yeah.
Varicella, is that what it's called?
And yeah, because I remember like, yeah, I remember like when they were, you know, six or seven being like, is she going to get chickenpox or what?
And then I was like, oh, that's one of the vaccines they gave her.
One of the shots?
That's how little attention I paid to how much I trust the doctors.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fill her up.
Yeah, yeah.
Shoot her up.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, I'll pay for whatever you got.
If you want to give her some extras, that'd be great.
We got this $400 shingle shot.
I'm saving up for a PlayStation.
I can't do it.
I remember
as a kid having to
bathe in oatmeal or some
shit like that. Calamine lotion.
I remember a calamine lotion running
hot and cold.
What was the bath? It was like baking soda in a bath or something yeah did you did you guys have chicken
pox parties like where you're we're like no okay because that was a thing i heard about that where
yeah they wanted like just to get it and get it out of the way or whatever so if one kid had it they'd invite whoever wants to get this awful disease over to hang out with this disease boy every kid was
invited over except for me my parents were like well you're gonna be fine yeah i think you'll be
just fine but yeah i didn't oh i didn't know that chicken pox were now uh they were a thing of the past
it was like a rite of passage when i was a kid yeah yeah and it was a good like week off school
it was a really good week off school but oh man good remember how itchy oh so itchy yeah
scratching a little one oh so satisfying oh yeah and then so bleeding what's your uh did you guys

few mosquitoes, but they have these
things called cicadas. Do you have them
there? Yeah, we call them cicadas
here. Yeah.
Because they can reach into your mind
and see all the things
within. Stay away from the cicadas.
Yeah.
And they suck. I hate that they read my mind
but yeah we don't we don't really get cicadas out here
it's so loud they're everywhere like every 10 minutes there's this loud like
almost like an industrial like
i can't hear you something's blocking out your high pitched
yeah there's some noise cancellation
on zoom and your face
just went crazy
but yeah it's
where was I
oh it was in Las Vegas and they had them
they had grasshoppers and cicadas they were passing
through town which is which is awful because everybody was like yeah they just seem to be on a migration
pattern through the city so yeah oh they're awful bachelor party yeah what happens in vegas
what's happening never mind um i was gonna ask when you do get mosquito bitten what is your strategy to deal
with the bites oh i i scratch i scratch like a motherfucker here's what i'll do i'll find
the mosquito bite and i'll scratch around the sides of it as opposed to right on the bump because
then you're gonna you're gonna like or irritate it more if you scratch it, but you scratch around. Yeah.
And then I also use a little product called solar cane,
which is good for bites and burns and stuff like that.
So give myself a little scratch for fun.
And then,
so like,
then yeah.
Okay.
Is that Michael Caine?
That's Michael Caine for solar cane.
Yeah.
Um, is that michael kane that's michael kane for solar yeah um but yeah what's your technique dave i uh i think tim was saying he doesn't really get itchy from them um yeah i don't really get itchy from them once in a while i do and then if i get
one that's like itching i'll scratch at it i'll start picking away at it then like i'll try to break the skin back away a little bit and i'll just keep you know
like that robbie williams music video where he rips off all that's basically what i'll do rock
dj start over again yeah you got started getting a whole new skin sure yeah until the roller skating
ladies are finally attracted to you exactly go down That was the plot of that video, wasn't it?
They didn't care about him until he was a skeleton man.
Yeah.
And they were like, let's get some.
Graham, no, David, that's me.
That's you.
I'm the same.
I get like Abby gets a mosquito bitten and she'll have a giant bite for days and the
kids seem to have inherited that from her uh but i will like i'll get bitten you know i'll wake up
at three in the morning and be like oh mosquito bit me and then i'll wake up again at six in the
morning and it's gone oh nice yeah okay it's good. But when I do, what I like to do is take my thumbnail
and make a little cross in it.
Oh.
Ah.
That's nice.
And then Body of Christ.
That's a good call.
Yeah.
Wow.
I was the Body of Christ
of this mosquito.
Yeah, that mosquito.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dana,
Dana,
Dana,
my wife,
Dana.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out to Dana. Dana. Dana. Dana. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shout out to Dana.
Dana.
Dana.
Borat.
Borat.
She gets reactions from them.
And I have this stuff that I got when I was building decks and fences,
and I'd constantly be getting little nicks on my hands.
It's polysporin, but it has ibuprofen in it.
So it disinfects the area, but also numbs the area.
So when she has those nasty little bites or whatever,
just put a little bit on it and it just numbs the area.
Yeah.
And no more itchy.
I'm not going to tell you what I need it for,
but where can I get my hands on this numbing?
Any pharmacy.
Yeah.
Graham doesn't want to tell you you but he's teething oh imagine if you lost your teeth as a kid and then you lost a new set as an adult
that would rule if you didn't have to go to the dentist oh yeah that's right
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah because i could take my kids to the dentist then they're like right if you just get caught on your new teeth yeah yeah yeah because
i can't take my kids to the dentist then they're like oh yeah i think we should do this and i'm
like these aren't these these aren't keepers yeah bring it to your dentist but yeah it's like taking
a rental to the car wash it's like why why what are we doing here um
yeah I uh
sorry Tim you're like a
you're a handyman you can
fix things you can build things
yeah um did you're a listener
and you're in Toronto and you need a handyman
for hire that's what I'm doing for
are you a task rabbit are you a task
rabbit guy I was on task
for a long time and fiverr i haven't done fiverr um but just task rabbit i did that for the first
like six months when i was living here then i got enough like jobs outside of task rabbit that uh
to keep me busy yeah i'll probably go back on it if it slows down in the winter time but yeah what's uh 69
five-star reviews nice i do think it's cool that people think 69 school yeah yeah i love it i don't
know i'm stupid i mean yeah what what do people generally ask for on their uh build my ectorp uh what the hell is it ectorp it's something from ikea
oh yeah it sounds like oh yeah yeah it sounds like a like a a trap that the ghostbusters would use
yes the yes what were their those traps called weren't they just called traps
if the light is green the traps are clean no wait is that
uh i thought they were just called traps ghost traps ghost traps traps
who you gonna call ghost trappers trappers uh oh yeah so i just looked up what is the
trap called in ghostbusters the answer ghost trap yes
that was definitely like the working idea they just never revisited it yeah
that would be a good workaround if you if there was a canadian production called ghost trappers
and uh technically we're not stepping on your uh trademark here it's uh you guys are ghosts
you bust them we trap them yeah
and then we skin them and we sell their ghost kids
of uh yeah the most common jobs that i get at first i didn't have any jobs so i set my rate
like super low just to get some work and it was almost all toilets okay yeah the worst of which
can i take a picture of you sitting on the toilet that kind of thing yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i
can't get the right angle so here eat this sub sandwich uh you might think this is a joke but i
fell in and i can't get out and they needed to call another person on task rabbit to get a guy out of
my toilet uh there's a man in my toilet uh i don't want to call 9-1-1 i don't want to bother anybody
i'll just go on task rabbit here somebody yeah plunge me but uh yeah after that it was mostly
like what was the worst one what What was the worst toilet one?
The worst one was in the basement of
an anime shop.
Oh man, I bet you that toilet gets a workout.
Oh my god.
There's a lot of Mountain Dew passing through that system, I'll tell you what.
Yeah, not a lot of please and thank yous
coming out of that
bathroom.
God, it looked like it, I mean,
skip ahead, listener, if you've got a sensitive
stomach, but it looked like
it had...
Oh, God.
Yeah, I almost threw up
several times.
It looked like the toilet had been clogged and continued
to be used for a while and um and then i broke the toilet uh snake trying to fix this toilet
i eventually got it clogged i charged them like 200 for cleaning fees and they had no problem
with that i should have charged more.
Yeah, that was like the rock bottom. It was mostly cleaning up your own barf.
Yeah.
I wore like, I put three masks
on and I...
Anyways,
after that I jacked my prices way up
and then I just got booked to like these fancy
ass places. We put
too much caviar in the toilet is the
problem.
fancy ass places.
We've put too much caviar in the toilet is the problem.
These fish eggs simply won't go down.
I went to this condo where it was like a two story condo.
The person had some tech company.
He had like,
uh,
I overheard his personal assistant talking to him about,
so while you're in New York, do you want to have a personal chef making meals or would you rather just
get takeout?
In this,
like on the second floor of this condo,
one of the rooms was a hammock.
It was like the floor was all hammock.
You know what I mean?
Like it was all like knotted ropes and had a bunch of pillows in there.
And you just like go lay down.
Like you just sleep in the living room.
Yeah. Whoa. The whole room was like one big hammock pretty wild i think life is one big hammock yeah life is a hammock
i want to swing in it all day long that's pretty good that's pretty good when was the last time uh

it's a great name for a show.
We have,
uh,
comedians do like seven minutes of standup and then we,
uh,
try to convince them to join our couple.
Oh, nice.
And every show, we promise the live audience
that we're going to have sex with whoever we select.
But then we always run out of time.
Oh, you were going to have sex with them on the stage.
Yes, okay.
On stage, on stage.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but it's been hard as heck uh getting shows out here because
there's like literally 5 000 comedians half of them look just like me and are twice as funny
and uh you do a lot of i haven't go to a lot of open bikes waiting like four and a half hours to
do three minutes to no one oh man open mic like when was the last time you stepped into an open mic before
moving good lord like making a regular go of it we've been like 10 years you know and now it's
like and there's no point in working on new material because no one's listening i'm just
trying to do well enough at these open mics that someone might see me and book me on something but
like yeah like uh well there's plenty of people listening and yeah if you're
listening book tim yeah book tim he's funny i'll be okay uh he could you know what book him

things are things are trying to pick
up a little but some new spaces open or isn't there is a chill pill i saw chill pill is chill
pill opened yeah chill uh it's a place it's a show that happens at a place yeah yeah um but the uh
i remember from early on days having to go to open mics and really,
literally the only people in the audience were the other comedians that were
booked for the show.
Like,
yeah,
there might've been one couple that had stumbled into a big mistake and felt
like they couldn't leave.
But yeah,
yeah,
it was,
I don't even know what the hell I was looking for.
Like,
I guess I was just hoping that the comics would laugh. I don't know what the hell I was looking for like I guess I was just hoping the other comics would laugh I don't know what the hell I wanted
like getting there
half an hour before you're supposed to get there
to sign up and then signing
up and being the 45th person
to sign up
so like what are you going on at like 2 in the morning
or something like that yeah
Jesus a couple times the restaurant
is like we need to close
this is a Boston peace there's 45
guys on this show and they all need their to do their five minutes could you tell them to order
something besides water they seem to be taking up every seat in the joint that's the thing i'm there
i'm supporting the venue i'm buying a couple beers i'm buying food just put me up these people are
getting like preferential treatment and they're like spilling water on the staff the the staff hate it the staff fucking hate it oh i know i feel so bad for
the staff that literally have to be there for it and then these guys like do these jokes about
you know they're like you know 21 year old talking about abortion issues and then no one
laughs they're like oh what is this a woke crowd i don't
know i don't know your joke sucks your joke fucking sucks the uh have you seen anybody like
doing a real like a real freak show person like somebody that's like oh you've just stumbled into
this place and what's the most recent weird weirdo act that you saw you know it's not even weird enough to be uh you know what i mean
like it's it's just it's just been it's like quaint or or i mean like in winnipeg we always
had plenty of nut jobs coming out sure mics and they always added that extra spicy element of
uh and you know i was spoiled in winnipeg because the open mics would have like 20
crap 20 people in the crowd every time and yeah they'd be paying attention and you know i was spoiled in winnipeg because the open mics would have like 20 crap 20 people in the crowd every time and yeah maybe paying attention and you know it would be
like a fun place to actually work on material but um yeah i don't know i haven't really seen any
um anyone that wasn't just like a mental health crisis maybe yeah there was a guy the last open
mic that i went to there was a guy who was dressed like
kind of um like somebody from new orleans like had like a white oh yeah kind of hat and like
had kind of all white and had like a kerchief and he just sang some crazy old like sea shanty
about about like some girl you know how they would go like uh something something shaving cream
do you know like that they're about to say a swear and then yeah yeah yeah anyways that's
all he did he went up and did that and uh everybody stopped or he stopped at the end
and people applauded and yeah god knows where that guy is now maybe he's going around open
mics doing that bit he's actually on just for laughs this year you have to go up behind the regurgitator i'm trying some new things i'm swallowing here
tonight a fidget spinner i gotta keep up with the times

Oh yeah, Johnny Bagpipes. We talk about him pretty...
No, it's Herb Dixon we talk about pretty often
on the podcast.
Johnny Bagpipes
is a bagpipe comedian
and he gets booked for the Winnipeg Comedy Fest
a lot.
One time
he was booked for the Winnipeg Comedy Festival
and he came out and he was booked for the Winnipeg Comedy Festival.
He came out and the airline had lost his bagpipe.
So the guy whose whole act is like doing a Metallica song on the bagpipes.
Just had to be like,
I now imagine.
Oh, and I'm sure they're very easy to rent.
You just go to Long and McQuaid and say,
yeah, point me in the direction of the bagpipes. Yeah, exactly. imagine uh oh and i'm sure they're very easy to rent you just go to long and mcquade and say yeah
point me in the direction of the bagpipes and uh yeah exactly just run up to the regurgitator
look this is gonna sound weird do you have any bagpipes in there let me check
um dave what's going on with you man
Well I'm having a great time since I moved to Toronto
Yeah
It's easy here it's fun
Thumbs up all the way around
Here's what's up with me
I've been watching movies
Yeah
So there's a movie that I watched
20 years ago
Ish maybe 18 17 Years ago 18 17 okay go ahead good year good movie 50
years before uh canada was founded uh but uh i uh this was a movie that i remember loving
and i was like i couldn't have loved this movie so i revisited it and that movie is
apocalypto oh mel gibson joint the mel gibson joint about the tribes among the maya and this
was hot on the heels of braveheart no hot on the heels of uh the? No, hot on the heels of The Passion of the Christ.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
But I knew it was like after a big one and then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
POC.
Yeah.
Well, that anime shop called Tim after a big one.
A bunch of big ones.
And I was like, because I remember this movie as like a 90 minute chase scene and there's like a
chase through the jungle have you guys seen it no but i heard it's not there's no english in it
that it's all a dialect and there's no subtitles is that right no there's subtitles there's
subtitles okay um there's uh there's subtitles but I remember it being as like, I remember it as a 90 minute chase scene with no dialogue.
And I was like, it was just exciting from, uh, from start to finish.
And then I rewatched it and I was like, oh no, the chase scene is the last 20 minutes
of the movie.
There's plenty of dialogue.
What's hanging around?
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, how do we feel about this movie now now we knew about
mel gibson back then that's true yeah but he that he all the stuff uh all his uh shenanigans happened
before um people were being canceled so yeah so he was still able to make movies and stuff and win awards yeah yeah
and so uh i was like how do we feel about this movie like how are we able to separate the art
from the artist yeah because even though that movie sucks are you still a big mel gibson yeah
that's true i can absolutely separate those two things can you still hold up
your love for her um and then i looked up the movie i was like what did people think about
this movie at the time like how are people reacting um here's what the boston globe review
was about this movie uh gibson may be lunatic, but he's our lunatic.
Oh, he's Australian.
And while I wouldn't wish him behind the wheel of a car after happy hour.
What?
Or at a Benet Brith function anytime.
Jesus.
I would like him behind the camera.
Behind my ass. No.
Behind
a camera is another matter.
Here's
the thing about Mel Gibson that I never
I had to take people's word
for it growing up that he was
a heartthrob. Yeah.
Everybody had agreed
that he was good on movies that i had never seen
yeah like the first time i ever heard of him crack like i knew he was in lethal weapon i
never saw any of the movies and then he was in hamlet and everybody was like oh
yeah i'd like to have his let
i'd let his hand his hand yes yes yes my whatever yeah behind my camera yeah
um but uh yeah no i remember that and he was like sexiest man alive yeah and and then like he just
looked like some guy that was like some some person's uncle like he just looked like a guy to me like tom cruise you'd be like yes
that is objectively he's a good looking guy but tom cruise is that for me i never understood why
everyone thought he was such a heartthrob oh he's not my type i'm a clooney guy through and through
oh yeah yeah to me that is like this and brad pitt but the sexiest man alive i like that dark stevie yeah i mean anyone
brad pitt it was more like he was used as a reference of like even by shania twain that
he's the most handsome guy around yeah who do you think you are brad pitt i'd like to put his
brad in my pit okay okay so oh so the um i just looked up because i up because this talk has got me all hot and bothered.
Sure, sure.
Sexiest Man Alive?
Sexiest Man Alive.
The last one was Chris Evans.
I thought it was Liam Hemsworth, Chris Evans.
Same films.
Same, yeah.
I couldn't tell the part.
And then, so the last one came out in November.
Who's the
Next guy
Are the actors
Are the sexiest men on strike right now
Yeah
That's
Hmm
Harry Styles isn't on strike though
Because he's a musician
So maybe he could be it
Is it usually an actor
I'm sure he's part of the actor's guild
But you don't have
In his capacity as a sexy man
he right whatever he pleases yeah he could still work yeah you can work on stage as a you know as
a cabaret performer his cabaret license yeah um what like are all them do you have a list of them
are they all actors or they're singers as well i feel like the ones i think of are all all actors yes right um let's look them up uh would you put tom hardy on that list yeah
of course tom hardy's yeah i put him on or would they put him on would you i would put him on
yeah of course i would yeah have you. Have you guys watched Peaky Blinders?
No.
No, that's the Cillian Murphy one.
Cillian Murphy?
What if he wins?
I think when he's doing a comedy, it's Cillian Murphy.
Changes.
Changes.
But Tom Hardy is in that show as well.
He plays a great character.
Oh, cool.
Love Tom Hardy. Love Tom Hardy. but uh tom hardy is in that show as well he plays a great character oh cool love love tom hardy
love tom hardy um there was a uh so uh do we boy how many do you want to know do you know who i think would have been like one back in the day bruce springsteen bruce springsteen he's all
sorts of sexies oh you want it you're trying to figure out if there's been any that aren't actors. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. The last one that wasn't an actor is John legend,

Gwen Stefani.
And two years before that,
David Beckham,
David.
Okay.
And two years before that, levine adam levine is really
he's really stuck around in a way that i didn't think i didn't think maroon 5 would be r u2
that it would just still keep going yeah yeah yeah is the edge on any of that list is the edge one of them yeah the edge one six years in a row uh that's called that it's
yeah it seems to be every single one other than that has been an actor except for jfk jr jfk jr
okay right remember he was uh he was about to start a magazine. Right. George Magazine.
George Magazine.
And Cindy Crawford was on the cover dressed like George Washington.
Huh.
And then I think that was the plan, wasn't it?
To have everybody on the cover dressed like George Washington?
Yeah.
Is that right?
That feels like a fever dream thing.
Sounds like it, yeah.
I think you're right.
Are you riffing?
Is this a riff? riff no i think this is
actually like like i just that's the only thing i know about him aside from that he passed away
from a plane crash yeah and he saluted his dad when is the that's right he did the very yeah
famous yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah is a plane crash would you call that natural causes yeah i mean if
you if you're playing
crashes and you die that's pretty i mean yeah gravity is natural yeah um maybe rfk jr is gonna
win this year oh man he's you want to talk about a hottie with a body that's true he's he's uh he's
stacked in a way none of the other opponents i mean i'd like to see biden with his shirt off but would i though do you know
what i mean i've got some uh go to my deviant art page and you can find that i've done some drawings
when biden came out and they were asking him to comment on the russian plane crash and he said
he'd been working for an hour and a half working out i pictured it like there's on the simpsons where they like fold up mr burns and like unfold them
anyway i watched apocalypto okay uh it's very good is it really good it was shot on
i was like there's a couple scenes where i was like it looks it was a time where
they were kind of figuring like figuring out uh video and hd and stuff and it looked uh
there's some scenes that look like you know when you're when you first get your tv home and you're
like i gotta turn off this motion setting but it does have a little like there's a little bit of
like cool like they're you know it takes place 500 years ago when they're running in the forest.
But there's, like, cool angles of, like, that were very, like, influenced by whatever skateboard videos.
A little fish cam?
Yeah, a little fish eye lens.
Yeah, a little fish eye lens, yeah.
Oh, cool.
But anyway, I recommend it.
You do, eh?
Yeah, I guess I still do. okay it holds up it holds up to your uh and mel gibson is forever the sexiest man alive is the is anybody famous in
the movie or are they all unknowns um johnny knoxville shows up yeah he's like all smacking the tribesmen or whatever
no they're all they're all um mexican or um central american i believe okay okay cool yeah
um well i've never seen it but i will check it out is it very violent i feel like somebody said
it's very violent yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and that's the other part of like okay well this is good but we know mel gibson is racist so what is his
statement on this yeah yeah that's true but uh anyway uh undeniable undeniable absolutely okay
the undeniable mel gibson did you ever do you guys ever watch uh berner herzog documentaries
i watched the one about uh
i've watched quite a few of them but one of them i've watched recently was fitzcarraldo
where i haven't seen that one where he's like documenting it's me fitzcarraldo
hey it's me you you break it i fits it
i was trying to be irish i know but then i took it in a mario direction
i only mentioned that because there was this there's one that i watched uh journey to the
end of the world where he goes to antarctica and talks to people that live down there and uh it's
quite a beautiful film film um but there's like a a mechanic that lives down in antarctica who claims to be of mayan
descent and uh the the the thing that's uh noticeable about it is that like uh his two
is like his index his middle finger and his whatever this ring finger is are like twice as
long as his uh pointer finger and his pinky finger. Oh.
And that's like, you know, that's from... Are you sure it wasn't Dane Cook?
Yeah, it was Dane Cook.
Su-Fi, wasn't it called?
Was it the shock or something?
It was the super finger.
It was this.
It was...
And there was a thumb, too?
Was it like that?
Yeah.
Anyway. I got all the merch if i had a dane cook shirt i would wear it i i absolutely would wear a dane cook shirt
yeah the uh um yeah so this mechanic long fingers
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah just imagine uh imagine how happy that guy's wife must
be okay all right all right that's uh he's got to trim back his fingers every couple of weeks
um yeah anyway uh check it out check it out soon to the theater check out the uh
verner herzog documentary anyway yeah um graham what's up with you i
this past weekend my uh brother and sister-in-law were in town uh to see a music concert so i went
to two concerts back to back i went on friday were these right were these part of the pne
uh one of them was part of the pne yeah and then the
other one was at the uh the vogue downtown and these are was this uh your brother patrick brother
patrick and his wife renee um they had bought tickets for and i've never heard of this band
before uh before this sylvan eso does that oh yeah ring a bell um they were yeah they were weren't going
to calgary so they flew out here to see them and you decided to go with yeah i was like hey you
know you guys are going anyways so why not um i think they paid for the ticket i don't recall
paying for the ticket myself but but you supplied everyone with a micro dose of shrooms yes exactly you got it sylvanesso gets into your brain i'm rolling man so the weird
thing was they had this opening act and the bass was so aggressive that i thought i was going to
have a heart attack like it was really it just felt like it was like in my body and I hated it so much.
So I, I chilled out in the lobby for,
for a while until that was done.
This was a bass guitar or was it electric?
No electric,
crazy electric bass.
And also I think it was all the,
the consensus was that it looked like it had been prerecorded because there
were certain points where the artist was
playing the guitar and then put it down and the guitar kept
going for a couple
seconds.
She might have been
singing the lyrics, but
also that could have been fake as well. I don't know.
In any case, the bass
was real and I was like,
oh man, this feels awful.
The bass was in your face. The bass awful like i think probably the face was in your
face the ace was in my face is in your face um you know they were aces of it for sure absolutely
what they were doing um what they were doing at no point did they like pull out a how uh
base for dummies i don't get this mace up but yeah let's say this band was bass forward and why are the notes so low
on this thing and can i it's just like there's no treble in this at all what the fuck give us
a treble song one treble song so that i can yeah just so i can calibrate it as a control yeah yeah but it was so it was so crazy and i was like okay i hang out in the lobby
and then i was like wait was it megan trainer it was megan trainer yeah she came out and said
she's all about that bass and then it was just bass the rest of the time she didn't even sing
yeah it's just her slapping a bass
uh yeah she's a real one-man band, that Megan Trainor.
Yeah, but not a whole band, just the bass.
Just the bass.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm all about that bass.
Only bass.
No drums.
I'm all about that bass.
Bass only.
But have you ever, like, as a youth, did you go to a concert and there was like crazy bass and
you were like this feels awesome this is awesome yeah i feel it in my body not awesome yeah as
time goes on you're like this feels like uh an arrhythmia i don't uh i don't enjoy going to a
school dance and be i would put my head in the speakers. This is so loud.
Dave,
you're chaperoning out of the base.
Uh,
I remember like going to a lot of punk rock shows in my early teens and being specifically being able to,
I could not identify the base.
Like I couldn't hear any notes. Yeah. You know, I could, I being able to, I could not identify the bass. Like, I couldn't hear any notes.
Yeah.
You know, I could hear like, brrr, but I couldn't pick, I couldn't with my ear or any other part of my body, really.
Yeah.
Identify any individual notes that a bass is playing.
But punk music is not very, it's not very bass heavy.
It's like MXPX.
Or the bass will play the exact same thing the drums are playing.
Yeah.
Or the guitar is playing yeah or the guitar
is playing right yeah okay okay yeah it's uh this is like this is straight up dj blasting it as uh
you know as close to the brown note as you can go before uh no turnbacks you know
you know that tim you fix toilets oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah very familiar with blast but yeah i can
definitely pick up the bass if it's like um boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom um so it was too loud too bassy had to hang out in the lobby uh have you ever uh put earplugs in
for concerts i mean we were having a plug in absolutely yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but it
sounds like you needed chest plugs i needed some sort of yeah vest a kevlar vest or something like
yeah yeah um and so yeah it was like uh that i was like okay well from all i've heard of sylvan
so one song they're pretty chill and then they come out it's like and it's like ah crap
so i i hung out in the lobby and watched through uh some curtains they've been doing a really good
live show good lights good costumes but. But I'm an old man.
I got no time for the bass
rhythm anymore. But I can't imagine there were
very many people much
younger than you.
It was the most
different kind of
crowd that I've ever seen. There was no
unifying age, sex,
look. It was just people
from all different backgrounds. I couldn't get a hold on who
who this uh band's fan base was yeah were people standing up yeah yeah that was another reason that
i was like i gotta get out of here no i found out i had a seat i don't want to fucking stand for an
hour and a half yeah i went to go see a concert recently
down in uh niagara falls usa okay and it was uh tim heidecker uh good tim bad tim tour where the
first half is stand up and the second half is him and his very good band oh yeah and he did something
during that concert where he's like i know a lot of times you see a band and you're not sure when
to stand when to sit so i'm just gonna tell you see a band and you're not sure when to stand, when to sit. So I'm just going to tell you, okay, for this song, you're standing for the next song.
You're sitting.
And I loved that.
I loved that.
We had like designated songs that we could all sit to, you know?
Yeah.
And it was because I had good seat, could see the stage.
And then it just takes one person to stand up and then
everybody's like well i guess we're all standing up now yeah god damn it but luckily the base was
making me feel ill so i could uh go out in the lobby and you know sit on some stairs you might
have shingles i might have shingles i was itching the whole time. Yeah. Oh, now that I'm seeing,
yeah,
you're covered in high.
Yeah.
No,
I think it's from the base.
You guys,
I think it's from the base making me itchy.
Um,
what other concerts did you go to on Saturday night?
I went to the PNE and I saw a little band called Aqua.
When it's a Aqua.
And what is the PNE? Is that an exhibition? Yeah. It's a aqua and what is the peony is that an exhibition yeah it's a pacific
national exhibition there's one out that way called the cne in the uh yes it's a fair the
fair yeah yeah aqua did this is the summer to see aqua yeah oh my god yeah um uh can i tell you can
i tell you what she said in the lead-in to the bar because she did say
obviously she sang barbie girl uh-huh but her lead-in was you want to hear it i haven't seen
the film yet and then she's saying it yes but she's cashing those checks. Absolutely. Yeah. She's a. Now, can I name more than that song of theirs?
I can name Dr. Jones.
This is the thing.
I thought Dr. Jones and Barbie Girl were the only songs I was going to recognize.
Oh, you have something lollipop candy.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Candy man.
What was the other one that you've definitely heard and probably don't know
let me just look up
because they did there was a couple ones where I was like
oh yeah I did know this
this song
but they
there was Barbie Girl
there was
Cartoon Heroes that was another one
Cartoon Heroes
so they did they played more
songs than I thought that i knew
and they were they were great they knew exactly like what they were bringing to the stage i'm
sure like they uh the guy who's like the bald guy it's just like he's like pitbull he looks
like pitbull he's got on crazy glasses it bothered me how much he didn't look like ken in the video yeah i thought you could have worn some plastic hair or something like that yeah
that was uh that was a big misstep that really cost them a few years
yeah that would have been that would have been everyone's uh costume but here's the thing well
you go to a cna a pna show rather The greatest thing about it, it lands exactly at an hour and a half.
There's no filler.
There's no encore.
You're done.
Yes.
Out you go.
Everybody leaves.
Was it last year you saw Gordon Lightfoot?
Burton Cummings.
Oh, but two years ago you saw Gordon Lightfoot.
No, I've never seen Gordon Lightfoot.
Who did I see?
You saw Gordon Lightfoot. No, I've never seen Gordon Lightfoot. Who did I see? You saw Gordon Lightfoot.
I don't think so.
Because I think you saw Gordon Lightfoot and he was so quiet.
You could hear all the rides louder than him.
No, I do not recall that.
I know when Burton Cummings was on stage, he had Randy Bachman with him and he just sat there like a sad puppet.
Was Randy's hand in his ass?
Past guest,
Pat Kelly has a great story about Aqua that maybe he should tell,
but about like they they he was a
host on ytv oh yeah and when in their heyday and they came and he interviewed them and like he and
the singer were like vibing oh yeah she gave him she gave him her number and he lost it and he was so sad i would be are you
kidding me this is but this is not my story to tell but man oh man that's the dream meeting a
pop star and them being like hey give me a shot we i can get you backstage something like that
i can introduce you to the bald guy. I swear I can.
I'm going to be on this stage.
How do you think I'll get there?
From the back.
And the funny thing about it
that I didn't notice until the show was over,
but my brother Patrick caught it,
was there used to be four of them.
Did you buy his ticket to that?
Yes.
No, they bought their own ticket.
I was going anyway, so they brought their own ticket.
Suckers.
But
there were four of them, originally.
There were four members of Aqua.
And they showed, during the show,
they showed all the music videos that went with
whatever song, and that
person had been cut out
of all those videos.
Oh, really?
Yeah, had been lifted out of the those videos really yeah had been uh lifted out of
the videos and had extra footage i guess uh snipped in so i am looking at the the
other album cover aquarium yeah um the special edition which i own um yeah dave's looking at
he's looking at a signed uh lp right now and call me sometime on it what
the hell i could get you backstage and there's a lead singer and there's ken and then the other
two guys honestly if you combine them into one guy i wouldn't notice they're they're very similar
looking yeah the guy that's still in it plays the piano. And their piano is a giant boom box. So that's pretty cool.
Good stage.
They were awesome.
It was like, I couldn't expect anything more from a...
Standing up or sitting down?
Standing the whole time.
Because you had to buy tickets.
It was assigned seating, which is weird for an outdoor fair.
Yeah.
I also saw, and I've never seen this ever before in my life
I saw a guy wearing a Nickelback shirt
which I've
ironically or no I've never seen somebody
wearing a Nickelback shirt so
was it a tour shirt?
it was a tour shirt from like I think 6 days ago
or something like that
wow yeah brand new crispy shirt
they have a
documentary coming out about how everyone hates them.
Do they really?
Yeah.
Oh,

I used to do an impression of Jack Kruger listening to a Canadian comedy
album.
It's just like,
Hey,

Hey.
Oh,

Overheard.
Overheard's a segment wherein we request that you share with us the things that you hear out there in the world.
We always like to start with the guest.
Tim, do you have an overheard for us?
Oh, boy.
Oh, do I ever.
So I overheard this podcast.
I was talking about a friend that got a phone number.
Not my story to tell.
And he said it wasn't his story to tell.
Can you believe that?
But he told it.
He still told it.
I didn't tell the whole thing.
There's more.
So I was walking
to one of these open mics
and I was walking down
Bloor Street
on my way to Tall Boys, a great venue here with great shows.
Nice bar, good food, surprisingly good food.
Okay.
Okay, I'm not here to promote their tater tots, but you could get like a whole bag of tater tots for $10.
Why do they serve it in a bag?
That seems like a weird way to eat.
Nah, it's in like a big old, it's in a big old big old i mean it's still frozen in the bag you got a cookie so
it's like one of those tables that's got the little stove in it and you just cook one
like a full 450 degree uh deep fryer yeah they should do a hot pot restaurant, but instead of a hot pot, it's a deep fryer.
Or just like a, or an air fryer.
Yeah. And when you're drunk, people
take bets on whether or not this or that
will deep fry. Put a pen in there.
Roll of a sock, but
let's see what it does.
You got any forest game left?
Sorry. Tim. Tim, please.
Sorry. That was from the first segment.
No one will know what I'm talking about no so uh we're walking down the street uh actually angie and myself past guests um
and there were these like two two teens uh walking uh up behind us and uh
the and like the way these teens were like acting and the way they were dressed was like their style and their attitude was inspired by shock jock DJs.
He had a basketball jersey and on the back of it, it said, fuck you.
Nice.
And they're blowing the biggest vape clouds you've ever seen.
Yeah, because you're a teen you're a badass teen
exactly as they were walking up
behind us
one of them said to the other one
get in me
fat bastard
that's the opposite of how
an impressionist works where they say like now there's a little
character you know named fat bastard and then you do the impression yeah like
miss quoting fat bastard of all the movies that i would assume these kids would be
quoting austin powers is not necessarily one of them it may gives me hope for the youth of
today that they're watching austin powers two or three if they did a remake of austin powers who
would make a good austin power slash dr evil we need somebody who can do both. My guess? Right. Okay, Graham's got
something in his mind. James McAvoy.
James McAvoy. He looks
good bald. We know he can act up
a story. He can do an English accent.
That's
my bet. That's my pick.
How about you, Tim? I probably have to go
with Mel Gibson. Yeah.
Because he's a hottie.
Yeah. Because he's groovy, baby.
I didn't know.
I didn't have an idea until you said James McAvoy.
And then I was like, no.
James Corden.
Yes.
Ah, yes.
This generation's Mike Myers.
He's a British accent.
And he's rude to waiters like Dr. E. Bull.
Yeah.
That's right. that's right that's right have you heard the like urban
legend about him about the plane when he's like somebody saw him on the plane and the woman next
to him has a kid and he's looking all annoyed and she's trying to put stuff in the overhead
compartment and uh this guy like just sitting there being grumpy as hell. Then he puts on his headphones and then it turns out that that woman is his wife and he's James Gordon.
There's no way that happened, but it's a great, it's got the makings of a good urban legend.
I hate having to fly with a kid, even if it's mine.
Headphones in, starts screaming.
headphones in starts screaming um did you know that uh uh all of the late night talk show hosts have started a podcast yes steven colbert jimmy kimball together jimmy yeah because that's what
i've always wanted john all the people who just ask questions to be in a podcast together where
they're asking each other questions yeah yeah who do you think will be the dominant host of that show you've got cordon
you've got no cordon's not in it is he it's i think cordon's out jimmy seth myers jimmy seth
steven and steven and tom snyder. Tom Snyder. Yeah. Remember?
And Mike Bullard.
Mike Bullard.
Yeah.
Number one with a Bullard.
People in the States who don't know Mike Bullard was our one shot at having a late night comedy show.
And we've never tried since.
And that's his show is called Open Mike with Mike Bullardard and that's why tim hates open mics to this day because he's sometimes there mike
bullard working on a new five i did once right off the top of his head i wrote uh an erotic
fan fiction about the open mic with mike bullard for a show once and if you want for your special behind the paywall i'll read it for you
i'll send it to you you can read it you should put that on uh
task rabbit i need somebody to read this to me i'll send this to you

when you started smoking cigarettes?
Maybe Barbie Girl.
It could be Barbie Girl, yeah.
It was in school and I think I quit when I was 16 and then I was 17 and we watched that movie The Outsiders.
We had read the book and then we watched the movie.
And then the whole movie is just teens smoking cigarettes.
And I was like, Whoa, that looks cool.
And it's also like school sanction too.
Yes.
Yeah.
It's cool.
So this is.
For class.
Yeah. I don't get why Tom Cruise is a handsome guy.
I'm a C Thomas Howell man.
Is it just me everybody?
Your whole essay about the movie is just that.
He's not hot.
He's actually, speaking of teeth, he's got one tooth in the middle.
Have you noticed?
Middle.
Anyways.
The teacher's like, we weren't talking about teeth.
And one more thing I don't like about him.
This next one comes from Matt from right here in Vancouver, BC.
I was standing in line at no frills and eavesdropping on a man and a woman in
front of me.
As far as I am aware,
they were strangers,
but they were chatting a bunch,
having a good time at no frills.
Like you do.
After a while,
they started talking about how hot it's been in Vancouver.
And the guy said,
I can't cook these days.
It's too hot,
but I don't like sandwiches.
So what can you do that's the
only thing you can do is not cooking sandwiched your hands are tied yeah i mean what are the best
uncooked meals of all time number one gotta be bowl of cereal well cereal i'm looking at you
smoothie i'm uh i'm looking at you tuna yeah out of the can in a can they should uh have a raw food
restaurant that's like a bowl of cereal yeah this is a sub sandwich yeah salad yeah salad is a good
one yeah that's a big one cold soup uh gazppacho. There's something like that. Gazpacho. Yeah. Is a wrap a sandwich?
Wrap is a sandwich adjacent.
Yeah, sure.
Enough that, you know, like you would get a wrap.
You wouldn't order a sandwich and accidentally get a wrap.
Sure.
You know?
Lettuce wraps?
Oh, I love a good lettuce wrap.
Sure.
Cabbage roll.
These are all things that can be nice
nice cold things not just sandwiches as cooked as it gets but oh is it is it really good yeah
we had them they're cold but maybe but they got cooked at one point yeah you got a hell of a
there you go you could probably leave a bunch of pierogies in the sun for long enough
that's true if it's as hot as they say it is yeah just put some uh onions down there let
them caramelize a bit um this last one comes from phil dave from a place called oshkosh oh there's
a guy writing in from oshkosh no way and they're not even allowed to do Lord's name in vain there
that's right
Oshkosh for gosh
yeah they're not allowed to swear at all
like before
the original name of that brand was Oshkosh
for fuck's sake
Jesus Christ
this is a a a shrill eight-year-old shrill eight-year-old yeah he's
at a somewhat chaotic birthday party and an eight-year-old said i've always wanted to see
an ambulance in real life so this is perfect okay maybe somebody ill yeah he's uh stealing something uh because everybody just responds
all at once right it's whoever gets there first i guess if ambulances get there they have to shoot
the bad guy you mean if a policeman gets there oh no sorry so no matter what no matter what i think
the fire department is always there first the fire department beats everyone there to it.
Yeah.
They have to.
They have to.
Speaking of firemen, makes me think of fireman calendar.
Who's on the next month of your calendar?
We're on August 30th here, so.
Oh, me?
Yeah. Your dog, hockey dog.
Well, you were asking about firemen, and I was like, huh?
So we just wrapped up uh august with uh
delilah demko that's your demko's dog and oh there's two dogs next month uh belonging to uh
travis dermot we have nyla and huxley dermot nice two dogs what kind of dogs are we looking at here
they're australian shds. Their favorite food is
anything edible and their favorite hobby
is relaxing.
Nice. Nice.
Good. Right on. Okay. Good.
Cool. I love a twofer.
I think that might be the last, September might be
the last month of this calendar. Yeah, because it goes for
the hockey season.
Oh shit. Okay.
Hopefully I'll be picking up a new canucks calendar soon and
i don't know if it'll what the theme will be this year we can only hope yeah in addition to
overheards that are written and we also accept your phone calls if you want to call us our phone
number is 1-844-779-7631 that's one ugh spy pod, like these else around. I hear him mumble to himself, and I'm pretty sure I heard what he said,
which was something ridiculous.
But then I go over after he leaves
to confirm my horror.
I see that he was looking at a loaf,
like a dessert loaf of bread,
covered with cinnamon,
with a deep, moist crack in the center and uh
what he had said what i'd correctly overheard him say to himself was hmm cinnabussy
my favorite james bond film i so i i um uh it was a little late putting together the overheards this
weekend i was just like like 10 minutes before showtime i was
listening to a bunch and i heard this one and i laughed out loud and I cried.
Mmm, instead of pussy.
Anyway, the less said about that, the better.
Sure, yeah, yeah.
Nice phone call.
Shout out to Buffalo.
Hey, stop podcasting yourself.
So I went to pick my kid up from karate practice.
And I'm driving past this like, you know,
10,
20 year old minivan.
And I see a bumper sticker and it says,
honk.
If you really love Snoopy or are insane,
that covers the gambit.
That's everything.
Honked in all the way.
And you don't have to be insane to love Snoopy but it helped yeah god damn snoopy it's not even called snoopy i always thought
it was called snoopy but it's peanuts is the name yeah and it's not i thought it was called charlie
brown and it's not it's called peanuts um do you guys like snoopy or are you insane which which
category do you put yourself in oh i guess it depends if i've had my coffee yet um which one are you more like if you've had your coffee are you more likely to
like snoopy or be insane i'm nuts i'm nuts uh but if i haven't then i'm sleepy like snoopy
yeah is that as overarching yeah is that his characteristic he sleeps on top remember him like
getting interrupted while he's sleeping on top of his dog house
you know but he wasn't like a prankster he wasn't really he was just wasn't a prankster
i wasn't was he i think in the cartoons he had kind of a kind of laugh yeah yeah yeah yeah
um it's a lot of like stealing linus's blanket i mean the biggest
pranksters are lucy pulling that football away yeah and no other people yeah i feel like lucy
yeah did lucy also uh run the psychiatrist stand yeah yeah cicada psychada yeah yeah that horrible noise that uh
tim's was recording that instrument blocked out and then uh later on she married uh that guy from
cuba and ricky ricardo took me a minute yeah that's when we all fell in love with her. Yeah, we love Lucy, don't we folks?
And of course
the Red Baron.
That phrase to me still has not gone old.
I still love that. We love it, don't we folks?
Don't we folks?
It still makes me laugh.
We love it.
Final phone call.
Hey Dave and Graham.
This is Camille from Seattle calling in with an overheard.
I'm in Michigan right now, and I was at a restaurant,
and I overheard this mom scolding her kids, saying,
Hey, hey, we don't talk about people's bodies like that.
Oh.
