Comedian Jordanne Brown joins us to talk bunny hugs, Arachnophobia, and The Old Spaghetti Factory.

Hi, he's Dave Shumka. And he's Graham Clark. And together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself. Woo! Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 810 of Stop Podcasting Yourself. My name is Graham Clark and with me as always is a man who can draw a pretty neat little stick plane. Mr. Dave Shumka. A stick plane, like a stick man would go on.

Yeah, that a stick man would go on. Or anyone on stick vacation too. I don't know. I know, I'm trying to think of stick, stick, Sylvania. Yeah, all I could think of was Easter Island and I was like, well, I would just be the head part of a stick man sticking out of a stick island. Yeah,

I mean, if a stick man goes in a forest, is he even there? Yeah, that's one of those interesting questions from philosophy. Um, yes, I like to draw... If you told me to draw an airplane that, I wouldn't have drawn that and that looks like an airplane. Yeah, I like to draw. I wouldn't, if you told me to draw an airplane, that I wouldn't have drawn that. And that looks like an airplane.

I would have gone from the side. Oh, it's no good at all. But you know, it's an airplane. I know it's an airplane. What are you best at doodling? Doodling for a long time when I was a kid, it was elf. I could doodle a pretty mean elf. Yeah.

And I actually like several months ago had a dream about the fact that i had that and it was very important that i knew how to do it right and uh when i did it i alicia tobin used to do her show maybe she still does uh come draw with me um it's more of an event now if she does it yeah it's less a monthly show and uh she would get the audience to draw things and one of her favorite topics was your favorite animal eating your favorite food or your favorite animal doing your favorite sport. Yeah. And I would always draw Alf as my favorite animal.

I love it. He's mine too. Our guest here today, first time guest on the podcast, which is always a lot of fun. She has an album out right now called I Can Explain. It's Jordan Brown. Hello. Hello. Hello.

I'm. Hi. How's it going? Good. How are you? I'm good. Good. Excellent.

I love having these headphones on. Do they freak you out? No, I love it. Do you actually love it? No, it's really. I do love it. That's funny because I always have to do one off. So, because then I feel like I'm in outer space.

Why do you? I like that outer space feeling. Okay. It's like, it separates me from my voice and self. Should we get those? Yeah, we all want to be separated from ourselves. Yeah. Should we get those headphones that are like, that have the microphone it like you're a helicopter pilot oh yeah that would be good

yeah have you ever had to do that talking to on a helicopter have you ever had to no have you yeah well on a helicopter they gave me uh earmuff things but i didn't have them oh okay yeah didn't have the voice i they were just assuming nobody on the flight was wanting to talk to me we did a thing at uh when i was producing um this sounds serious where one of the characters was a helicopter pilot and we needed helicopter pilot audio and someone had one of those oh really i think it was like the studio kind for like a cameraman but we had to find the weirdest adapter to record something off of it. And the mind reels of what type of... Just like six pokies.

Yeah, like I have an old radio from my grandfather and the batteries are size R. Wow. Which I don't think you can get size R anymore. That's crazy. Yeah, what's the oldest appliance you have in size R anymore. That's crazy. Yeah. What's the oldest appliance you have in your house? Oh, my house.

Or in your family tree. Your whole family. Your whole life. Everybody can. Yeah. Well, my grandparents, I don't think they have it anymore since they downsized to a condo.

One of the saddest things that happens to everyone, but they. Do you think it's better to live in a giant house? Yeah. With many haunted quarters and so many stairs that are going to get really hard?

Yeah, nice and creepy, creaky. Hard to clear out once something happens. Yeah. What could happen? I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

Something, it did whatever that was, never mind. It happened recently. Oh, I'm sorry for your loss. No, it's good. But they had a big like music machine that played off of cans you guys seen those oh yeah it was like cans that had rigs or

ridges on it oh yeah like um like a player piano kind of thing or like a music box like a music box yeah yeah those are cool like size of a soup can song. And did they have a bunch of the cans? I don't know how many they had. I don't remember. And what kind of songs were there? Like ACDC? Yeah.

I'm imagining all the songs from an ice cream truck. Yeah, very much ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I love it. My favorite kind of music. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I love it. My favorite kind of music. That sounded good, hey? Really good. Did either of you see an ice cream truck this year at all? I feel like I didn't.

I did, but where did I see it? Oh, when I was in Copenhagen, I saw it a couple times. Oh, shit. Okay. International ice cream. International ice cream. Did you see one this summer? I don't know.

I definitely saw the knife guy. Okay. Yes, tell us about this knife guy. did you see one this summer i don't know i definitely saw the knife guy okay yes tell us about this knife guy do you guys have this i let's get to know yeah let's get to know us absolutely i think i know what you mean by the knife guy but um is it someone who like goes he travels around in a van and and sharpens knives yeah and he has a song just like the ice cream man really?

yeah so like is it Mac the Knife? I don't know what that is but yeah it is probably it's probably the most famous knife song yeah

no it's like the same one as the ice cream man is it Cuts Like a Knife by Bryan Adams? could be that yeah or First Cut is the... That's good. These are all good considerations.

Yeah. Does he worry about being stabbed? He worries a lot about it. Keeps him up. What have you... Like, I've heard about him. I've heard about this phenomenon, but I think it's something that happens in, like, only the fanciest neighborhoods. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I don't live in a super fancy neighborhood. Okay. It happened in your neighborhood. It happens. Yeah. And what are you in a mid fancy? Yeah.

I actually have no idea. What is the, what is the process? Does like, do you hear him coming down the street and you run out with your knives? Yeah, you grab your knives and you run. Cause he's driving.

Yeah. He's not stopping. I know. No, I did see an ice cream truck this year in a parking lot somewhere they were just set up and they were just reeling them in i just i never got a chance to eat one of those like spongebob square pants ones with the gumball eyes you like to want to eat one of those every year yeah i just like to see them i don't necessarily have to eat them, but if I see a kid. We could Google it.

Yeah, but I need it in person. You can Google it. Oh, that'll do it. I'm starving. Well, Google some food. Jordann, did you grow up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada?

No, she didn't. Graham, you got here two minutes after her. Oh, where are you? I know her life story. I am from Saskatchewan. Regina, Saskatchewan. Regina, Saskatchewan.

Yep, where are you? Did you go to university there? Did you leave before university? I did go to university for two years for like, just, I was just fucking around. Yeah, just Googling this and that all over the place. Google a book. Yeah, I thought maybe I'd be a teacher or whatever. But really, I was just, I was loving the improv club in in university okay started an improv club and also started an air band club that i didn't um have the skills to really sure it's funny there's

no um there's no like uh professional outlet for air bands. There's like not, there's not. Yeah. No, they really should be. Yeah. So air bands, is this a Canadianism?

Uh, I don't know. I know my brother, Dan was in a national competition and I think he finished third. Oh wow. Yeah. That's huge. But I think you have to know. Wait, Dan Clark. Yeah. finished third. Oh, wow. Yeah. That's huge. But I think you have to know

how to park. Yeah, Dan Clark. The airbend bronze medalist. What does he play? He plays the guitar. Wow. But I think you actually have to be able to play an instrument to like sell the...

So it's like a lip thinking. Yeah. But also instrumenting. Yeah. But also it's whatever you want. Yeah. Yeah. There should be's whatever you want. Yeah. Yeah. There should be a rule that you can't actually know how to play the instrument.

You know, it should be more make-believe, I think. Right. So you can make the guitar any size. Yeah. And just be tapping along. I like to go like, you know. Yeah. Let's see your bass stance.

That's your lead guitar. What's your bass? It's the same thing. Same bass. See, I don't know the difference. But that should be good. I think bass hangs down a little bit lower. Or it goes a little higher. Oh. Or it goes a little higher.

Oh, maybe it goes a little higher. Depending on the guy. Yeah. I feel like Primus guy, he's probably a high up guy. Graham, he has a name. I've been just... Isn't his name like Walter Zonko or something? Yes, it's Walter Zonko.

Who's this? He's the bass player from Primus. How's your Primus knowledge? It's been better. It's fallen off. Yeah. What did, boy, you're, I'm assuming, younger than us. What did stoner nerds listen to in your high school?

I don't know. They didn't talk to me. Oh, were you a drama kid in high school? I was an improv girl. Yeah. They had an improv club at your school? Yep. Dave's did too.

There was nothing like that when I was growing up. It was amazing. It was like the reason to be there. Yeah, I think it's much more common now. Yeah. It must be. Yeah, right. Because it's like people, I guess, know how to teach it.

I don't know. Like, do you have a teacher that came in for it? Or was it the math teacher doing improv? Some years we had people come in and other years it was my English teachers, but they were really good, I think.

Yeah? Yeah. And then you went to university and you were like, I'm going to get a straight job. I'm going to get

just a normal down the lane job. I didn't even say that. I didn't even like have the thought, oh, I'm going to do something, you know?

Yeah. It's so weird i'm just fine i'm just now being like i really wasn't a person yet like i had no yeah it is kind of weird right like you think you're a person when you're 18 but you're like just kind of a blob of clay you're like i will apply for this and i wasn't like oh i'm gonna i don't know you gotta go to college so you can be i don't know the knife the knife man. Yeah. It's really strange. And then like you, did you move right to Toronto? You moved somewhere else first?

Yeah. Then I moved right to Toronto. I dropped out. I did a improv intensive in Winnipeg for a week and then met some people there who were like comedians full time. And then I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You can be a full time. And then I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You can be a full time comedian? And then I dropped out of university. Love saying that.

Yeah. And moved to Toronto in two weeks. Oh, really? Yeah. Nice. And how long have you been there since? Eight. Eight years.

Eight years. So you like saying you dropped out of university? Yeah, it's kind of cool. It's better to say you got kicked out. Because then people are like, what'd you do? And then I got kicked out. Yeah. Yeah. I got kicked out of university? Yeah, it's kind of cool. It's better to say you got kicked out. Because then people are like, what'd you do? And then I got kicked out. Yeah.

Yeah. I got kicked out of university. You have to do something pretty severe. I killed the dean. Yeah. Yeah. Could you say...

I caused a riot. Yeah. You get kicked out for not applying on time. Sure. Next year, maybe something like that. Yeah, that's true. Or applying yourself.

That's another thing that would kick you out for if you weren't. Yeah. Do you do do you do stand-up and you do improv sketch i don't really do improv anymore how come it misses you it's hard i really wish i did but i just never like found i never found an easy you never on the easy way? I sound so stupid. I never was able to do it without trying. That's why I started stand-up. Yeah.

Your album is dropping as this podcast is dropping as well. It's called I Can Explain. Yeah. And that's why I drew a picture of a plane. Yeah. Did you record it one shot recording or did you? I did two. Two.

Okay. All right. Just like Eminem says, you only get two shots. Yeah. Because the first time you're going to be more nervous and then the second time you can really be loose. Yeah. That's what he says. Do you have, because I know there's some people that I've heard their albums and there's one person in the audience that has a very distinct

laugh yeah did you have there's a few but i don't think it's like too distracting okay it is kind of funny like if you if i can tell which night is which night based on like if like a couple people are right going hard but um i don't think it's too bad do you most is it a mix of both nights yeah oh wow yeah i saw this clip of uh a french tv show and all the guests they just invited people on who had they weren't like famous or anything they were just people who had unique laughs. Yes. And there's no, like they just are laughing at each other laughing the whole time. It's so good.

And I, you know what, I got to hand it to your friends. Yeah. Yeah. You got to give it to friends. That is really good.

We were talking before we started recording about like stand-up comedy rules that you were taught by maybe. Did you go on tour with somebody and learn road dog things? No, I haven't really been a major road dog yeah i went to humber that's right yeah you don't go on the road i went to college got kicked out from what i heard got kicked out

um when i graduated um yeah did we learn anything well i um no okay okay but humber is uh for people who don't know it's a college that offers a comedy degree comedy diploma yes and for the record i did love it yes but the thing is things it's famous for are oh yeah i know what the the most famous thing what uh that uh the teacher one time when he was on stage, he went backstage and there was a giant Caesar salad that had been

sitting there for God knows how long. He ate the whole salad. He went on stage and he shit himself. That is not what I was going to say

at all. I've never heard that. I have heard that. Yeah, right? The thing it's famous for is they teach you to cook in a hotel room. That's right. That is true as well.

But then you were also saying the advice, or like, the thing they said was, go on stage hungry. Yeah, yeah. And literally. Yes, go on stage hungry, be hungry. Maybe that's where it came from. Like, don't eat the whole Caesar salad. Yeah, do not eat the whole Caesar salad.

You want to be a little hungry when you go out there. I want to just know about this. That's all I know. How long did it take him? To eat it? Whoa, the whole thing. I think he ate it, and then he was, I think he was the closing act. And so he's just sitting backstage just shoveling in, like, who knows how many hours it's been sitting out.

And then, yeah. Sitting on stage. And then he was a teacher there for a while. It's not like it's a big stage. You can get off stage pretty fast. Yeah. And honestly, he was one of my favorite teachers. Yeah?

Yeah. He's a really good guy. you can get off stage pretty fast yeah and honestly he was one of my favorite teachers yeah yeah he's a really good guy actually well I can't say that for sure but I think he was a good guy yeah

I mean that's not it's not a knock against him that he should have talked about absolutely a comedy phrase that has to be said

in 2023 I think he's a good guy I actually can't commit and then like did you start open mics were you

yeah I did a little bit of open mics and I how do you like that culture how do you like the open mic culture

it's fun right you know it's scary it's very scary out there but it's okay it's okay kind of

no it depends it totally depends where you go. Had you done any stand-up before you went to Humber? I had done, in high school, we did like one, I was in the performing arts class where they were like, teach yourself anything, do anything. And I did, I taught myself how to do stand-up, which I basically just told a story of like peeing my pants when I was a kid. That's pretty good. Not, you know, everybody pees. That's not even, you know. Yeah. Sure. stand-up which i basically just told a story of like peeing my pants when i was a kid which is pretty good not you know everybody pees that's not even you know yeah sure but it's relatable

yeah it's yeah because everybody had you just drank a caesar's house movie or something yes but the set was like three minutes and then i did an improvised dance number for the other half of my performance i love that it was really strange i love that the teacher's like yeah just teach yourself whatever i'll be over here yes smoking yeah um yeah did you get laughs yeah i did yeah what got more laughs the stand-up or the improvised i don't know honestly i did a really funny improvised dance in high school for some reason it was a hobby of mine i believe oh doing different ones to different songs or yeah just like in the improv room i would just put on a song and tell people like i'm gonna be doing this dance now if you want to come see it i'm

gonna be doing a dance i'm gonna be over yeah it's cool if you want to stop by i'll be dancing regardless but if you want to stop by um this is related uh in the movie napoleon dynamite yes he does a big dance uh at the end it's sort of the spoiler that i've got that do we think it was improvised the character did the character had the character rehearsed it i think he had because he had the like break dance video that he was watching in his room he did yeah he came out of his room. Yeah, so I think it was pre-planned, but I think the actor did it on the day and nobody knew that he was going to do it.

Yeah, it wasn't one take. I'll say that. Yeah, it was pretty good. It was the dance of my generation. It was the Napoleon Dynamite dance. What was the dance from your generation? Some crazy frog or something oh yeah okay yeah crazy frog man he's really stayed with us all these years around uh i don't know because i don't really know what he is yeah you know is he like a graphic or he's a ringtone

he's a program that you can make anything, I think, almost. Oh, yeah? I actually don't know. Teach yourself that. Probably be a crazy frogget. What did other kids teach themselves? Dance, musicals, painting, all sorts of things. Did you have to do this in front of the general population

of your school? Or was this like in front of the other arts class? You're always revert of schools with prison lingo. And gen pop? Yeah. And was the warden there?

It was in front of the class but it was a big class. For some reason this was a multi-grade class. Okay. And we called ourselves BPAC for Performing Arts Crew

nice we had t-shirts too it's very interesting little class that we had if you had been older you probably

would have got matching tattoos right yeah for sure but matching shirts is pretty cool yeah my math class

had matching shirts in high school really and my friend did a cartoon of the teacher and I forget he was saying

something and it was just like on the breast yeah like uh on a polo shirt yeah yeah and we all liked this design and then the teacher ordered them for us and the back no one consented to having anything on the back oh no it was on the back a giant uh uh graphic that said math is radical with the radical symbol over it. So it went from being like our normal shirt

with a secret little joke on it to We also got jackets for our art class like windbreakers and they had just like Balfour Arts or whatever and then on the back, big paint splatter that said sometimes we all need a good kick in the arts that is fun yeah nice and long yeah and it's also just something like you would see on memo paper yeah or like something uh you know asking

for donors to give to the your organization You're from Saskatchewan. Did you call hoodies? Bunny hugs. Bunny hugs. Absolutely. What about couches as Chesterfields? No. Okay.

My grandparents may have. Yeah, I think Chesterfield is an all-Canadian thing. Oh, really? I thought it was Saskatchewan. It may be slightly more, but... Bunny hug is very adorable. When you go home, do you still say bunny hug? I still say it.

I mean, do I? In mixed company? Hmm. Because you know people are going to razz you when you leave the room. Yeah. Do I still say it? I don't know. I guess I'm not talking about bunny hugs that often.

Right. Do you wear hoodies? I do. I do. I gave up on hoodies because it was a crutch. You love them? I was leaving. Yeah, I was up on hoodies because it was a crutch. You love them? I was leaving. Yeah, I was wearing only hoodies.

Yeah. And then a couple weeks ago, I wore one again. And it's just like the fruit. It's the sweetest. So comfy. I got rid of them for years. Really? Yeah.

I'm back as of the pandemic, basically. Yeah. They're perfect. They're pretty good. They are perfect. And they're just like so adaptable. Yeah. They're perfect. They're pretty good. They are perfect. And they're just like so adaptable. Yeah. They're great.

The one thing that I'll say is every time I put something in the front pocket and then I see that in the mirror, I'm like, why? Oh, that looks so bad. You can't put anything in there. A bunch of rolls of coins. Yeah. I always end up with a bunch of napkins and stuff in there. And then it's just like, that just looks really bad. I've become like a real, just take too many napkins and then just keep a like that just looks really bad. I've become like a real just take too many napkins

and then just keep a napkin in my pocket everywhere I go. It's scary to not have a napkin in your pocket. Yes. Yeah.

Now I'm like I won't leave the house without checking and making sure. Yeah. And then when you go to use them just rip one in half

to save the other half. Oh yeah. That's what I like to do. Do we know where the name bunny hug comes from? I think it just looks like a bunny hug i guess like you're putting i don't know doesn't it not just seem like a you got the hood up that's like a almost like a bunny's head you have the arms of the arms of the bunny yeah and then the

bunny little tummy uh huh which is kind of more like a kangaroo it is a little bit more like a kangaroo but kangaroos that's not the imagery

we're trying to we're not trying to get Australian no we're not yeah yeah yeah so bunny hug is it's adorable yeah

um is Regina the city that has a Mahatma Gandhi statue no it's Saskatoon that's Saskatoon okay

although that's actually where I am born. Oh, yeah. Home of the Mahatma Gandhi statue. I don't even know. There's also one in Edmonton.

Yeah? Yeah. Huh. I remember we went, we did a tour and I was like, two cities in two days with two Mahatma Ghandas

that stay at Mahatma Ghanda? Like somebody saying Tortilla there. And Mahatma Ghanda. Fix saying Tortilla there. Mahatma Ganda. Fix yourself a dang kiss of Tilla. Napoleon Dynamite over here. It comes back.

Did you grow up in the city or out in the country? In the city. Okay. Do you know people that were living out in the country? A little bit. Strange folk out there. Yeah. Yeah, I have some friends who grew up like farms and stuff, and I have family that farms and that sort of thing, but not too small town.

Right. Yeah. Does Humber have a farming program? No. Wait, does any place have a farming program? Yes, Saskatoon does. Oh, really? Yeah.

Okay, good. Well, ask and answer. I'm assuming any of the agricultural universities, Texas A&M. Yes. Whatever else, A&M. But like, you have the land first, right? Before you become a farmer. Well, first you get the land.

Yeah. Yeah. Then you get the know-how. Yeah. Yeah. Well, some people just move and then, I guess, no, then they get the land.how yeah yeah well some people just move and then i guess no then they get the land yeah you're right yeah because it's like you wouldn't get a degree in farming then be like now to find a farm right or would you some people might you might maybe if you're

a migrant worker yeah yeah but like it doesn't seem like something you'd need a degree for. But I don't know. Okay. Exactly. Yeah. Look. Yeah. Um. Hey,

look, no farm, no food. There. I said it. Yep. Absolutely. Um,

yeah, I, uh, there was a couple of kids in my school that lived on farms and they were really like. Really farmy. Really farmy wearing Wrangler jeans, which was foreboding in my school. Yeah.

Yeah. What were the, what was the foreboding clothing at your school was there like a shirt that was like oh that's so dorky hmm i feel like everything was like everything was bad like everything was everything that everybody was wearing was really ugly so everything kind of passed you know right it was just a really bad time for fashion when I was in high school. And your, has your fashion come back around or are we still, cause like the fashion that I grew up with is now. I don't know.

I don't think like 2012 is, is back yet. It's going to be though. I guess. Yeah, probably will be. I hope it doesn't like long t-shirts, you know,

long t-shirts rule. Come on. No, no, no. Yeah. What else what else again if i had to for me i well i of course uh i'm from the early 2000s and so i wear um really low-cut jeans and von dutch hat those are definitely back yeah yeah oh they are always showing my midriff get one of those tan line tattoos. Yeah, tan line tattoos. I wear a little bit of like very glittery moisturizer all over my arms, I guess.

That would be really cool for the men of today to start doing. Glitter? Glittery lotion. Absolutely. Constant. Is that a thing? Like, is that what it was? Yeah.

That I'm only picturing christina aguilera where yeah yeah like it's a glittery body lotion i know you can get it at victoria's secret still no i actually don't know but probably probably you know what right in everybody if you work at victoria's secret right in also tell me what bra size i should be wearing yeah this these are not working. There's often a sign out front of a women's clothing store on Canby that offers

free bra. Yeah. Measure. It's really interesting. I went recently in and I was like, I don't want any help. I don't want any help.

I don't want, nope, I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. And then she kept saying, you know, I think you need help. And I had to give it to her.

She was right. Yeah. And she had to come into the change room and help me. Wow. Which was scary, but it ended up working out. Good. I'm glad you found the right fit. The only equivalent is when you're getting suit pants made and the guy was like trying to feel around left or right.

Oh, wow. Yeah. I mean, you can say it, but they're going to get up there with the chop. Yeah. Yeah. It's very funny, though, that that's... Like, what were you doing wrong? The person was sort of like, no, no, no, no, no.

Yeah. Let me come in there. I guess like they... I can hear you putting that on wrong. They just know the sizes so well. And it's not, it's not obvious. Like what,

what, how the sizes work. Yeah. You know, like you think, oh, it needs to be bigger. Nope.

You're wrong. You're completely wrong. It needs to be way smaller. It's not like, I'll grow into this or whatever. Like, I'll get an exercise or stuff it to make it, like, you know, work. I don't know anything about bras. I'm still wearing falsies. Still.

Oh, man. I, uh... Well, that was a great conversation to have. Not one we normally do about bra sizing yeah um they don't teach you that at humber no they uh yeah it's just it's like a very specific market they're targeting and i bet you at least once a day somebody's coming in again in the middle oh yeah um i'm trying to think of what the other thing that i saw the other day on a sandwich board that was supposed to be enticing oh Oh, well, is it the bra place? Is that further down, Camby? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because there's a place by the movie theater that just does sex puns. Oh, yeah, they do a lot of sex puns on their sandwich board, which is a lot of fun. We also have a legendary strip club that the marquee is very funny. The person who does the marquee does like a funny joke. Oh, that's awesome. It's probably the best thing I guess about the strip club if I had to go down a list. Not for me, man.

Not at all. I've made a list and that's not even top 20. But it's like, it's old place. It's called the penthouse? The penthouse. And they have like a cool bar upstairs that used to be jazz bar for performers from out of town would go there. And so there you go. There's your history lesson.

Have you gotten into that stage of life where you're like, that used to be a bank? No. No. It'll come. Yeah, for sure. Because you're definitely at some point, like, I know things that I'm like, that used to be a blockbuster. Oh yeah. That's a real estate off and now it's a blockbuster.

Yeah. Um, yeah. Uh, I, there's somewhere in town that still has the remnants of a blockbuster sign on their parking. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is that the one that's 16th and Oak? Yes.

That is the, uh, it's an enormous two floor. I mean, the fact that it was a two floor blockbuster is the hubris, but it's now it's a real estate agent and that seems too big. Yeah. And like,

uh, I heard, and I don't, I don't know if this is true, but Netflix went to blockbuster and said like, like, will you have this system? And they were like, no, we're making too much money off of late returns. Oh, back in the day. Back in the day, yeah.

Imagine they were going to them now. Hey, wake up, wake up. Blockbuster, this is all a terrible dream. Yeah, it's a... If you could go back to blockbuster times would you yeah yeah i would too and change everything yeah change it all yeah i would go especially because um they're just the that was a part of the date yeah just walking around the store and yeah you know checking out the funny movie covers and stuff like that yeah and it's so fun like when you're a kid and you're just like it's just makes it so much more exciting than going on netflix and and yeah being like oh fuck it's a trip yeah it is like it was you added half an hour to the movie watching experience yeah which if i get two minutes

into like scrolling for a movie i want to see on a streaming service, I'm like, I'm done. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Also, it's just fun to get something, you know? Yeah. And now if you're going to have a movie night, you don't get anything. You already have everything.

That's true. So it's not what's special about it. Yeah. Yeah. You need to have a really, really good pair of pajamas. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, if you've got a good pair, you're wearing them every night.

You're wearing them out. Yeah, exactly. Not so special. No, you got to wash them. Yeah. Putting the return in the slot, that was also very satisfying. Yeah. Yeah.

Like, just having that as a chore to do. Like, I'm going out to the girls. Well, I should just return those videos. And they had to put up special instructions for how to return Titanic because there was two tapes. Wow. That's cool yeah did you guys have a movie that you rented like again and again and again yeah mine was uh a kung fu movie called black belt jones and uh i probably could say it word for word and it's uh it's just it's fantastic it's just the 70s on overdrive and is it from the 70s yeah okay but like we would rent it at least once every two weeks and watch it because there's no uh you couldn't buy it i couldn't buy it yeah yeah did you yeah we would always we would always get i

forget what it's even called the troll in central park or something maybe the guy with the green the troll with the green thumb and we were obsessed with that one it's a kid's movie it's even called. The Troll in Central Park or something, maybe? Oh, sure. The guy with the green, the troll with the green thumb. And we were obsessed with that one. Was it a kid's movie? It was a kid's movie, yeah. Okay. But then you got to wonder, like, why didn't your parents just source a copy of it? Yeah. I guess maybe they were hopeful every time we went, oh, they're going to pick something else.

Yeah. But you don't. Yeah. You just, yeah, you stick with your favorite. Yeah. Sometimes you would go and there would be a movie that was like a famous movie. Yes. That was like kind of a knockoff.

And they'd be close enough. Yeah. That you'd be like, oops, I accidentally rented Carnosaur. Yeah. The one we kept renting, I forget what it was called. It was about this guy. He had like curly blonde hair and he wanted you to vote for his friend pedro oh god i just if i could find out the name of anyone out there if this is like i'm sure one guy out there's like that scratching an itch for me too i'm sure one guy out there is doing

that yeah and he doesn't know that you know he doesn doesn't get it? Yeah. That we've mentioned it? Yeah. Yeah, you've really, you've got our listeners down to a T. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not you, it's them. Listeners, we love you. I'm sorry, I would never, it's her, it's her.

But there is one of you. And you know who you are, you son of a B. But there is one of you. And you know who you are, you son of a B. Did you have a Blockbuster or did you have a local video store? We had a Blockbuster. Is a local video store, is that a brand or no? No, just like an indie.

Crazy Mike's. Right. We did have like the corner store type of ones that we would go to a lot too. Oh yeah, corner store. Yeah, my brothers and I would walk and get a movie from the corner store and candy and that was great. That sounds like that. It sounds like you

went to farm school. Yeah, I would want to go back. You would go to the gas station to rent a movie. Yeah. I would go back to Blockbuster times

if I could just, oh, the idea of walking home with a movie and a Slurpee. Yeah. Oh God, yes.

Some, what are those called? Those clusters with the chocolate all over them? Chocolate clusters. Yes. Is that what are those called? Those clusters with the chocolate all over them? Chocolate clusters. Yes. Is that what they're called?

No, I don't know. There was a brand of boys' names. The Kevins? Yeah. The Kevins. I have no idea what you're talking about. Really? A cluster of chocolate clusters.

I'm thinking of like a turtle. No. Oh, is it? In a bag. Is it? God damn it. They were on turtle. No. Oh, is it? In a bag. Is it? God damn it. They were on Dragon's Den. Yeah, probably.

It was like a Canadian brand. Was it sex cereal? No, it wasn't sex cereal. It wasn't. Oh, God. This is going to kill. Now there's somebody out there going, Jesus Christ, it's whatever. It's a fun time.

He's delicious snacks. What are those? I can only think of Mike and X, but certainly not that. It's whatever. It's fun Tommy's delicious snacks. What were those? I can only think of Mike and Ike's, but certainly not that. Mike and Ike's? No. Not those. No, but they're like a gummy.

Like a chewy. Yeah. Anyway, these clusters were really good. They had them at my blockbuster. Were Mike and Ike's... Oh, my God. Here we go. They were like little cylinders. Yeah. Or like little little cylinders. Yeah.

Or like little pill shape. Yeah. Yeah. And were they two different flavors, Mike and Ike? Or were they all just like a little bit like fruity, cinnamony? Yeah. Because Red Hots were. They were all hot.

But they were like hot cinnamon, right? Yeah. Right. And they were the similar shape. Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't tell you what a Mike and Ike was. I kind of had like going through. I think they were like different.

Maybe there was a fruit. I'm not sure if there's a fruit variation or if they were all fruit flavored. I think. Yeah, I think it was variation. Yeah. That's what my memory is. I'll have to go buy some on the way home when I stop at the gas station to get myself a movie. Did you, did they know you at this gas station? Do they know you

at this gas station do they know you by name yeah no no not by name no but they knew me by style

yeah yeah you had glittery lotion on or something that was your style yeah what was your style

when you were a teenager oh tell me oh god just really bad it's 2012 business woman like business woman when you were a teenager. Oh, tell me. Oh, God. Just really bad. It's 2012, Graham. Business woman, like... Business woman? Everything was so businessy then for a moment.

Yeah, it was very... Everyone was doing Leslie Knope. Collars and... Oh, collars. Yes, collars. Skirts, like pencil skirts. And like, why? Why?

Was it because Mad Men was on the air? No, that's too far back. I don't know. Fancy little tops, you know? Yeah. High schoolers. Yeah. In pencil skirts.

Yep. I maybe don't know what a pencil skirt is. It's just like a black. A skirt made of pencils? Yeah. No, it's a skirt that's really easy to draw. It actually is, because it's just like this. Yeah.

For the listeners, she went, whoop. Basically, the shape of Saskatchewan. Yeah. Actually, no. Sorry, that's not quite what a pencil skirt is. Because a pencil skirt is like a tube. It's a little bit more curved, yeah. Yeah, okay.

Sorry, I touched the mic. Well, get out of here. I just bought a skirt. Oh, yeah? It's not a pencil one, though. You're gesturing to a bag. You bought it today. Yeah, just today.

Don't even like it that much, but had to buy it. All right. Because you didn't want somebody else to have it? No. I just wanted something. Can I get a look at it? Yeah. You want to see it?

Yeah. Absolutely. Okay, listener. She's grabbing a bag, pulling out a skirt. Oh, it is dark colored, little patterning. Little patterns. Yeah. And it's from a vintage store.

What is it called? Something, not vintage, mintage market? Mintage, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. That seemed like it was really wrong, you know. No, you nailed it. Mintage market. But that's what it's called.

Yeah. You know what? I hope things work out for you in the skirt. You had to get something. What's the name of the brand? Clio. Clio, yeah. Oh, Clio, number one in skirts. Little business woman. Are you a big vintage shopper? Yeah. out for you in the skirt you had to get something what's the name of the brand cleo cleo oh cleo

number one little business woman um are you a big vintage shopper yeah yeah i am yeah it's fun i like the hunt actually do i is it better uh do you go in every city do you prefer it in saskatchewan do you or how's toronto versus here i do like to go everywhere. Here was nice. Toronto's really, I live in a really good spot for thrifting. There's like. You know Kensington Market? No, like Value Village. I'm in like Bloor West. My neighborhood is called Value Village.

They know my name there. Yeah. But there's a lot of little shops around and like some that are like more expensive and some that are cheaper and some that are more curated and some that are wild. Yeah. I like the wild one. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it's like anything could be in there.

Yeah. But also anything could be in there, you know, it's a real double edged sword. And then it's nice to have a little curated one right beside it. So if you feel like, Oh man, I don't have it in me for this today.

Yeah. You can take it. You can take the easy route. Yeah. That's self care. Yeah. But the easy route yeah that's self-care yeah but the easy road that place smells really bad i don't know why it always smells like sewage in this one place yeah it's i went to um i was on vacation in new york and walked past a goodwill depot so it wasn't a store it was just like you went in and everybody big bins yeah and they just like dumped these clothes in these big bins and everybody just went nuts i just remember

a guy finding like a gimp mask and throwing it high in the air and everybody laughed yeah whoever had that was like, wow, somebody else might like this. Yeah. Hard to clean leather though, you know? No, it, it's, uh, it's,

yeah, you're right. It's bad. I guess you could get a ticket to like a shoeshiner. You're wearing it at the airport. Laying upside down in the chair. Hey, come on over here,

sir. Yeah, can I use the chair from the, in airport massage place? Yeah. I mean, if that's how somebody that's into that gets ready for a night out of the town,

polishing it with a glove. Boy, have you ever done one of those airport massages? No, but I'm, I'm eternally curious. Yeah, I don't think so.

I got my nails done one time. let me see. Oh, they're great. It's worn off a little bit no it looks like yeah yeah i can tell yeah but i didn't like time it out well like it was like came down to where i was like oh no i have to go get on my plane now like oh yeah i can't wait for these to dry i have to go right now yeah and panic yeah that's it yeah so that was weird i don't i sometimes just make weird choices like that where I'm like, oh, I shouldn't have done this. You know? Yeah.

Yeah. I've done like, especially at airports where I'll sit down and be like, I can just eat a quick thing of chili or whatever, you know? And then like, it takes forever to get there. And I'm like, oh, come on, eat it. Bring me the meal. Bring me the meal. Yeah. Just eat this Caesar salad that's been laying around the airport for hours.

Yeah. Backstage at the airport. Couldn't hurt. I'm doing a set on the plane. Oh, my God. I knew a guy when WestJet started who did a set on a plane. Yeah. Because they were like, this is going to be the kooky new airline.

Oh, yeah. Can you imagine? Well, actually, I did imagine one time, so much so that I got nervous. I was on a plane and the TVs were broken. And you thought they'd be like, is there a performer on the plane? Yeah. And I thought that I would be like, yes, there is. And I started like, you know, when you're about to perform, your heart starts racing and stuff.

And I started like, you know, when you're, when you're about to perform, your heart starts like racing and stuff. I've started getting that feeling as if I was about to volunteer myself, even though they had not asked. You just walk up and just take the phone off. I'd only been doing standup for like a year. This is it. This is my big chance. There's three minutes about me peeing as a child. Scary, scary to think that you could just be like, yes, me's scary. There's three minutes about me peeing as a child. Scary. Scary to think that you could just be like, yes, me.

Yeah. Yeah. And then be in big trouble. Yeah. You could probably like, you'd be on a no-fly list after that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. She just picked up the intercom and wouldn't let us get, she hid in the bathroom with it

and she just kept talking and talking. Lots of jokes about the plane going down. What about those toilets? They're so loud, hey? Check it out. You never do hear that over the PA. No, you don't. She's saying what we're all thinking.

Dave, what's going on with you, my friend? Oh, man! Well, not much. What did we talk about last time? You talked about... I talked about Tamagotchi. I talked about... Oh, you know what I didn't talk about?

Did we talk about watching a scary movie? Nope. Okay. So, the kids and i are you sure uh well i'll tell you if it's familiar uh the kids wanted to do like a movie night okay we do this every few weeks where we go to blockbuster it's basically that but it's like a friday or saturday night we grab all the uh blankets bring them down to the couch. Sometimes I'll even drag the futon mattress in there. And so like you can lie on the ground.

But it's so heavy. And I have to time it with when I cut my nails because if my nails are too short, it's an issue. And I do like my nails cut really short. Sorry, no movie night tonight. Yeah, sorry, guys. But they wanted to watch a scary movie.

Oh, yeah. And so we watched a scary movie, too. No. They didn't get a lot of the references. We watched, I was like, oh, when I was a kid, the only horror movie that I liked, and it's still probably my favorite horror movie, though I haven't seen it since 1990, Arachnophobia. Arachnophobia. Have you seen it? No.

It's funny, right? It's fun and funny. It's a family movie. Right. Oh, wow. And it stars Jeff Daniels as the new doctor in town. John Goodman in it? John Goodman is Delbert.

Okay. Delbert. The, what are you, exterminator? Okay. And it's got like so many actors, you're like, oh, I've seen him in 10 things. Yeah. I hate about you. You've got Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

hate about you you got Heath Ledger Joseph Gordon-Levitt yeah I feel like maybe people weren't using the word phobia as much before that movie came out

and then I feel like that's where I learned what phobia meant yeah that makes sense yeah you got a phobia? do I have a phobia?

performing on an airplane performing on an airplane I recently got scared of airplanes and just took um my first airplane drug um on my way here actually and it really helped me a lot oh yeah yeah would you are you microdosing yeah well what's it what airplane drug um lexapran Yeah, that sounds like something. Is it like a, but it's like a sleepy time? Yeah. Sleepy and calm. And I did a test run like the day before I flew and I was like, this isn't working.

I'm not falling asleep. This is not working. I'm freaking out. But then when I was actually on the plane, it worked. I didn't feel, I was like, oh, I'm having, I'm like thinking about the plane going down, but I'm not like reacting to that. Like my body's not starting to freak out, you know? I think that's normal.

I think about it going down every time I, every time there's like, apparently I heard this from nowhere. I heard this thing from not an expert. Yeah. But apparently, what are they called? Yeah.

Turbulence does not, like there's no plane crashes. From turbulence? From turbulence. Oh, okay. But that can't be called? Yeah. Turbulence does not, like there's no plane crashes. From turbulence? From turbulence. Oh, okay. But that can't be true. Yeah. I've heard of turbulence that's so bad that like the masks come down.

Yeah. Or I've heard recently a flight attendant hits the roof. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they're standing and then. Yikes. Yeah. That's enough to freak me out. No, I'm cool with that.

Dude, check it out I didn't hit the roof there's rules but the pill was good it allowed me to think of those things but not like think of them rapidly

and like into a into a frenzy yeah you weren't in a state no yeah it was really nice I hope it's not too late

to bring this back but how about a bra store for people who are afraid of getting their bra measured called Arachnophobia. Arachnophobia. I don't know if that works. They would be in big business because lots of people don't like that. So we saw this movie. Now Poppy is six. Margo is eight. And this is like. like that. Yeah. So I, we saw this movie. Now Poppy is six. Margo is eight.

And this is like. Cute names. Thanks. This is like, scary movies are too scary. Mm-hmm. Yeah, for an authentically scary movie

is too scary. But this one has some real, like, some real good, like, juicy scares where like you go, and then you laugh it off oh nice yeah um uh but we uh poppy made it an hour and then she was like i do not want to watch this

anymore and and then we went up and i put her to bed and like read to her but while we're up there we could hear margo and abby still watching and like you would hear a scream and and uh just like it was a roller coaster for them they had so much fun yeah that's really fun you always remember like your first horror movie so that yeah yeah that's a new memory and then i uh watched the rest of it the next day and i i was still scared like that i still got you a handful of moments i remember scaring me like he's he's got like um uh can of spray paint and a lighter than he's trying to oh yeah kill the spider in like a vent a laundry vent and he shoots it down there and then there's like a pause as he's looking and then the spider jumps out.

Is it about many spiders or one big spider? Oh, baby. It's about so many spiders. Cool. So there's a spider from Venezuela. Okay. That kills a guy who's like taking pictures as part of like a science project. Does he eat him or just bite him he bites him but then

um well i guess feeds on him because the body gets transported back to america to this small town where the coroner this small town has a coroner um is like oh wow his body is completely drained of blood. And it's all like all... Skeletony. Skeletony. And then that spider gets out of the coffin, goes to this barn, Jeff Daniels' new barn, and mates with a local spider. Oh, okay.

Which I remember at the time, Entertainment Tonight said that that would be the equivalent of an elephant mating with a mouse. Wow. And they wouldn't because elephant and mice are... No mating with a mouse. Wow. And they wouldn't because elephant and mice are the only elephant. Yeah. You said you remember your first horror movie. Which was yours?

Orphan. Orphan. Do you remember seeing that? Orphanato? No. Is it? Was it like a Spanish one that turned English? No. Is it? Was it another, was it like a Spanish one that turned English? No, it was about, it was actually really scary about.

Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Yeah. It's about this little girl who gets adopted into this family, starts being really, really creepy, killing people, I think. Yeah. And turns out she's actually like 30 or 40 years old. Yeah, then that was based on a real thing.

Yeah. That's very scary. I remember hearing the real story of that. I mean, I can't. I heard it on another podcast and I was like, I have to stop listening to this. Yeah. Wow. That was real.

Yeah. How did she do it? Did she really just look that young? No, I had to stop listening. Ooh. Because they were like, yeah, it was. Ooh, that is scary. Ooh.

I didn't even get to the murders. A true story. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but, uh, but that's not that old of a movie.

Well, I don't know. I think I watched, how old is it? I watched it when it came out. Yeah. Let's look up orphan everybody. We also watched scary movie three,

but that wasn't really, that was 2009 Is that one Okay So I was in grade 9 Okay Yeah Was that at a sleepover

Or did you just It was at my house I don't think it was a sleepover It was one of those It was a Friday night Type of movie With my dad Nice

Nice And were you freaked out Forever I was really freaked out by it Have you been freaked out By orphans Ever since Very scared of orphans Very against that as a concept yeah a lot of people after that were like let's burn down

an orphanage yeah it's very creepy i'm boycotting wendy's because dave thomas the founder was an um the uh anyway it's a good movie check it If you like, there's some gross out moments when John Goodman steps on a spider. Yeah. There's some really good, I mean, I saw it in the theater and it fooled me, but there's some really good, like, that's just like a prop that's covered in hair. Or like, that's a real spider, but you can see that they've got fishing line on it. hair or like that's a real spider but you can see that they've got fishing line on it uh in that league another movie that i've seen that's like fun and scary is the 1980s remake of the blob it's so funny and it's just this blob of slime and it just slowly eats everything in its mouth oh my god but yeah there's like uh just so

many funny little bits yeah it doesn't even sound scary as a concept like a big blob yeah but when it starts eating the townsfolk i suppose yeah have you heard the like it's like a thought experiment of like god what even is it but it's like there's a slug who wants to kill you a slow moving slug yeah okay and it will never stop trying to kill you

right and so you constantly have to keep your distance well yeah but you're like you don't have to keep that much distance

right like you can keep a lot of distance yeah but to buy a lot of time but then it's always after you but

I forget what the thought experiment of it is you also get 20 million dollars certainly interesting yeah it's always after you. But I forget what the thought experiment of it is. You also get $20 million. It's certainly interesting. Yeah, it's in somebody's will. You can move away. Yeah. But then you'd have to move again.

You couldn't really set up a life. Yeah, exactly. It'll get to you in a few years. Yeah. Damn. Be careful where you vacation. For all I know, there is a slug out there that's trying to kill me, and I'm just by accident getting farther away from it. Someone's so

mad that I didn't know the details of it. Dave, it's a snail. Yeah, oh, the other thing about this movie, oh yeah, so the plot is the big spider and the little spider have babies, and then the babies are huge, and they go rampaging, killing everyone.

The babies aren't as big as the original spider. But there's this pulsating egg sac. Oh no. And I'm like, I've always hated pulsating egg sacs. So this one was particularly traumatizing to me. Yeah. It's funny because you used to have to have the, like, he used to have to have a physical spider to film. There was no.

Oh yeah. This movie wouldn't be as much fun with CGI. Yeah. It's like, uh, have you ever seen Tremors? No, I've, uh, I've seen, I don't know why I haven't seen it. It's so funny. Have you seen it? No.

It's, uh. For some reason I've, that made me think Kevin Bacon was a second rate movie star. Oh no he shines in it. But the fact that it's like you know a horror kind of a campy horror movie. Yeah. I was like I don't think these are these are prestigious films.

But yeah it's ton of fun. It's like an underground snake. Oh cool you it'll eat you if you're on the land so you have to stay above ground the whole time that's fun uh but yeah that's another arachnophobia camp you got the bob arachnophobia the snake man um what's going on with you um well this past weekend i had family in town and uh it was my nephew's uh fourth birthday oh which is adorable what a cute little birthday what does a nephew want these days so here's the two things that happened uh three things really um i had to figure out where where do

you go with like it was my both of my brothers my sisters-in-law my parents the nephew myself my bride uh and uh bride of graham bride of graham uh she will hate that bless you um but yeah the uh i was like where do you take that group of people? Where do you go with that size of people where it's like not a huge inconvenience and the staff like putting tables together? To eat. Yeah. So I was like, the only thing I could think of right off the bat was the old spaghetti factory. Oh.

Yes, yes, yes. That's perfect. And it is, man, that place is fun Did you go You went Yeah We did And like nine people at a table No problem

Yeah Easy Kid birthday No problem I haven't been there in so long Do they Do you Can you draw on the tables there

No but there's plenty to draw I think of the macaroni grill Yeah I miss it But Yeah there's a big train in the middle of it Oh cool You can go yeah I miss it but yeah there's a big train in the middle of it

oh cool you can go you can eat on the train maybe I should go should I go to that here you should we don't I don't think we have one in Toronto

and we don't have one in Regina where I'm from either but we would go when I would go on my choir and band trips we would go to like Calgary and Edmonton and we would go to the old

spaghetti factory it's such a weird thing that doesn't feel like a chain thing that doesn't feel like a chain. Yeah. It doesn't feel like a chain. It sort of does feel like a chain, but it can't possibly be a chain. They're so far apart.

Yeah. It's magical. And I was like, maybe it's just a Canadian chain. Nope, it's international. They got them all over the States. Wow. But yes, you should go while you're here. Yeah.

What about Romano's Macaroni Grill? Is that a chain? I don't know. Sounds good. But it's one of the only places that I could think of that was like that. Because there used to be, I think, a lot of them. And then it went out of style. And now they dominate the field.

Yeah. Like, what's a silly place that you would take a four-year-old and like a bunch of relatives? I guess Eastside Mario's is not that serious. Yeah, that's true. But they're not too silly. But they do have a wheel you can spin and they do have little ice cream cones. Well, that's right there. Yeah.

Plus a million points. Yeah. For Margo's birthday, she was trying to, we said, we'll go to a restaurant for dinner. Yeah. For Margo's birthday, she was trying to, we said, we'll go to a restaurant for dinner. And we were like, you know, it'll probably be Boston pizza. And she was like, no, White Spot. Oh, nice.

Okay. White Spot, if you don't know, is a very middle of the road family restaurant. But they used to have, they have burgers. That's their big thing they're famous for. But the kids aren't interested in that. No. The burger part. Yeah.

And what they used to be famous for is they would be, and they still will, have, you can eat in the parking lot. Oh. And they bring a big tray out. Oh, that's cool. That goes across the. Oh, yeah. Is it like retro inside too? Nope.

Oh, interesting. Yeah. It's so forgettable inside yeah they put a big tray in your car or on the roof yeah tray in your car that stretches from window to window oh that's cool that is pretty like a bathtub yeah it's like a bathtub table it is like a bathtub eating a hamburger in a bathtub oh god wouldn't get anybody. Oh, my God. I'm like, logistically, it doesn't work at all. Yeah. Because you got to, what am I?

You have to keep your hands dry. But am I also like running the bath and then. Being full. But then going over to pick up the burger and then coming back. Yeah. It's maybe a two person operation. Yeah, you get someone else. Someone else is caring for you

and getting the burger so am I infirm at this point yeah and helping you into the bath yeah but of course

it's one of those baths that has a door on it so I have to you have to get in and then fill it up yeah yeah they don't tell you that

but you you gotta assume yeah well no unless you're the kind of person who, also you have to drain it fully. Yep. Yeah. Yep.

Or just open the door and deal with that. Yeah. Get on the floor. Everybody walk the dinosaur. Nice. Have you guys seen, this is not that related, but that, oh, I'm so bad at thinking of the different names of things. That show where the people are leftovers.

Yes. Oh. Where the people are leftovers. That show with the clusters covered in chocolate. Chocolate clusters. Yeah. Yeah, I've seen a season and a half of it. Okay.

Then you maybe haven't seen this part, but there's this amazing part where somebody, the main guy. Justin Theroux. Justin Theroux. Theroux? Sure. He is in a bathtub and he's shocked to be in the bath

and he's frazzled and he slides out of the bath. Like he doesn't get up and get out of the bath. He like flops and slides out like a fish. Multiple times this happens. But over the edge? Over the edge. doesn't get up and get out of the bath he like flops and slides out like a fish multiple times this happens but over the edge over the edge he just slides his bare body over the edge of the tub and onto the floor i gotta watch this show he's doing this on purpose or he's doing it on purpose he's like oh i'm in the bathtub well i can't tell you why really like no you trust me i've tried watching the show twice and haven't made it past

mid season two I don't think I like it fair enough um but I'm interested about these bathtubs it's really crazy he flops out like a fish

in the most unhuman way flaps around on the floor yeah it's really shocking um have you seen I've seen behind the scenes footage of Emily Blunt

uh doing a big bathtub stunt in uh Mary Poppins. Oh, that's fun. Interesting. She goes down the drain. Does she? Yeah.

I feel like bath day on the set is fun. Oh, yeah. Or imagine hungover day on set, like your character's in bed all day. Yeah. Oh, sick in bed. That'd be really good. That would be really good. Yeah, just like sports day when you're a kid. Yeah. Yay, bathtub day. Yeah. Oh, sick in bed. That'd be really good. That would be really good. Like,

yeah, just like sports day when you're a kid. Yeah. Yay. Bathtub day. Yeah. Yeah. Like,

like I was going to say that it's probably a thing that they have on Paddington bathtub day, but, um, I'm sure every day on Paddington, it's just a joy. Yeah. Oh my God.

The guy rules. Yeah. I should go to the store around that. No gas station. Wouldn't I? The other the store and rent that. No, gas station. Wouldn't I? The other ones didn't have it. So the other thing, because it was my nephew's fourth birthday,

I didn't buy him, his name's Mason. I didn't buy him anything. Cause my idea was when he gets here, I will like take him to the toy store and I'll let him pick out whatever he wants. And so I was like really setting myself up here for God knows what he was going to figure out. What if he would get himself a Power Wheels? He could have gotten a Power Wheels.

Those stuffies are so expensive. Oh, yeah. Did you go to a toy store at Granville Island? It's this similar kind of setup. Okay. Yeah. I just went there today. The place is called Caboodles. Okay. Yeah. I just went there today. Um, the place is called caboodles.

Oh, okay. So I took him to caboodles and I said, whatever you want. And then I was like, as soon as I said, I was like, this is a mistake.

This is a mistake. This is a mistake. I want that friend's puzzle in the window. I want to work here. Yeah. Do you mind if he goes by the counter, just scans a couple of things, but he walked immediately over to something.

It was one of the cheapest things in the place. And he was like this. And it was like a little gun, like bubble gun. And I was like, oh, he doesn't really touch the balloon there. You would have lived for it. Yeah, that's true. Also, if he got a giant stuffy that he couldn't fit home on the airplane. But yeah, it was a lot of fun. he couldn't fit home on the airplane um but yeah it was a lot of fun he bring his gun on the airplane oh yeah that's a good question yeah but i think he was uh playing with it for like a day and then

i feel like maybe kids just get tired of yeah after a day it's true also it's very overwhelming uh to like when you're a kid and a very young kid and you get a bunch of toys as presents and you're like i don't want to keep opening presents i want to play with this toy yeah yeah but it's amazing how like cheap a thing can keep a kid occupied for hours yeah yeah we are now at the point with my kids that we're sort of out of the woods for just like a toy. Okay, good. I mean, the things that they want are more expensive. Yeah, that's true.

But they're not like a thing they play with for a day and keep forever. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm trying to think of what would be that. Something like sunglasses. Give me some cool sunglasses as a present. My kids want pencil skirts. They want all just kind of

business office style Von Dutch hats. She's all over the place. Well, should we move on to some overheards? Sure. Hi, this is Lori Kilmartin. And I'm

And I had to go back to work after. Yeah, I was just getting my lunch, brother. But he really needed me to pump his tires. So I was like, yeah, you can do that. All right, see ya. Because there are people like that in Spider-Man City or whatever, New York. Yeah, for sure. Because he's going building to building. So if someone's on the other edge of town being like, all right, go get him, Spider-Man.

I have no idea what he's doing right now. Yeah. I'll hopefully see it in the newspaper tomorrow. have no idea what he's doing right now yeah i'll hopefully see it in the newspaper tomorrow it's funny like when you picture when you see spider-man in a movie he's endlessly going from like high rise to high rise but there's a lot of new york that's just like brownstones that are three or four stories yeah there should be more hopping from what or from what is it called from oh you know when i was when you're about to the leftovers yeah if i would have just said what i was thinking there it would have just been perfect yeah yeah yeah no i i forget those

words but you can't explain that to the audience but like oh shit the stairs like stoops yeah yeah stoop why does Spider-Man go on any stoop hopping from stoop to stoop yeah from little lion statue to lion statue

yeah yeah anyways he can do it yeah he can do anything I believe in you Spider-Man I believe in you Spider-Man Dave do you have one over yeah I think I do

Got a playground area, a big playground area and a little kid playground area behind the little kid playground area, a sandy area. And in the sandy area, there's also a water area. Wow. Where there's like a. This is a mega. A pump or fountain that you can turn on and water goes down kind of like a river into the sandy area. That's amazing. Cool.

You can make little rivers and lakes. Yeah. And so there was a group of kids and they were turning the water on. And they put their hand over the water so it sprayed everywhere. And they chanted all together, daddy piss, daddy piss. That's amazing. Yeah. You know what this looks like?

Daddy piss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My daddy goes the same way. Sprays everywhere like that as well. Oh, I love it. Daddy piss. Yeah. Incorrigible.

Oh, and just like the age you are when you discover you could call it piss. Not me, man. I'm still wee-wee. Pardon me. I have to go wee-wee. Pardon me. I have to go wee-wee. That is better than saying I have to go piss. Yeah. Yeah.

Is somebody, I feel like they were in the midst of explaining some hippie store because i just heard them say you know jewelry dream catchers that type of shit yeah so right i think that's what they were talking about? Yeah, my business plan. And I've told you, I said on this show before, and it's still happening, that I accidentally clicked on a woman that had white dreads.

She's a white woman with dreads. And now I've advertised a nonstop parade of white women with dreads. Oh, not just like products so you can become a white woman. No, it's just, oh, maybe actually

there was one that I, and I keep clicking on them and it just keeps causing the problem. And I, but they all look very happy. Yeah. Pretty satisfied.

Well, that's delusional. Yeah. That's delusional. Yeah, they're not listening to anyone. But wouldn't that be great to just like go and live on an island and be like,

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't care about whatever. I don't care about anybody. I'm alive. Yeah. Yeah. I'm on island time. Yeah.'t care about anybody. I'm alive. Yeah. Yeah. I'm on island time.

Totally. If you want to send one in to us, you can send it in to spy at maximumfun.org. And this first one is from Chris in Toronto. I passed two rough-looking dudes drinking on a patio.

They seemed to be having lively discussion about whose life was going better. As I walked by, one of them was shaking a cd at the other and saying sure but i get to go home after this and have a nice evening with serena rider oh wow that's a very specific yeah she toronto shantus she's a canadian singer songwriter um yeah very talented great voice yeah 90s no no like probably uh you know uh right around 2012 when you were uh yeah yeah she probably you were popping collars yeah she's probably putting out stompa around then yeah stompa your feet you know that one yeah yeah alright yeah that's a good one yeah um

so your album's out as we speak out as we speak will you be shaking a CD I will be shaking a CD or will there be physical copies I decided to get some CDs

because my dad said that I should get some CDs I said okay yeah sure yeah okay boomer yeah

but it is fun it is fun to have yeah yeah it's like an artifact you know I'm so

I'm so I'm so pushed by the winds of others of dad yeah and others

because I was gonna make I was considering making records but then someone responded to my Instagram story and said that's actually toxic

they're toxic and I said okay okay okay but a CD no problem no problem nothing toxic in there But then someone responded to my Instagram story and said, that's actually toxic. They're toxic. And I said, okay, okay, okay. But a CD? No problem. No problem. Nothing toxic in there. And you can make it, you can put it in plastic.

You can do all that. But it's not like you're not flushing records down the toilet or something. Like they're in your house. It's the process. It's toxic? It is. Oh, the toxic. Okay. And I guess it may be even toxic.

I mean, I feel bad letting everybody know this. Yeah. People are going to go about their life no matter what. Not me. Apparently, even the record Scratching, you know, is releasing some toxic stuff. Microvinyls into my collection? I don't know. Don't worry about it.

I don't. Would you be... I've always thought of this about releasing an album. Being so stoked if somebody used it and like mixed sampled it yeah sampled it yeah that would be really cool

that would be fun you know what the best part would be the money the money I just want the dollars to roll in it's cool I have like on my site now

I made mugs too and CDs and you got mugs? yeah I got some mugs hell yeah what's on i got some uh oh yeah what do you get offended album cover do you get offended if people are like uh one mug please no cd no i think like i don't know anybody with a cd player so i'm not offended if nobody buys them everybody uses mugs everybody uses mugs so i will be really offended if everybody doesn't get one mugs is that smart

they're cute yeah what do you put in a mug coffee yeah maybe hot chocolate during the winter oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah that's it for me yeah i'll have i'll use one mug a day oh and yeah anything else every other fluid do you drink water out of a mug i out of a water bottle but it's very unholy unless it's hot water with a little bit of lemon. Yes, that's fine. And some honey. And maybe a shot of whiskey for daddy. Yeah, hot toddy. Speaking of sampling, there's a poet in town,

well-known poet named Shane Koizan. What if you had said someone else's name? You'd be like, ooh. But he went on tour in europe and he didn't know but one of his poems was sampled in a very like goth rock song and so all the people that showed up were these like like very painted very you know like corsets and all that kind of and then he's reading sad poems about assisted suicide. Yeah.

That's amazing. Um, uh, this next one comes from Rob, uh, in West London. I was walking recently in a fancy neighborhood in West London. I don't spend a lot of time in and had to do a double take at the name of a

restaurant. That name Borscht and tears i don't get it i don't get it either is it some is it like that that tutor joke we didn't get because it's right uh what's borscht what's borscht and something what's ever borscht and something but also how do you pronounce borscht as a british person boy boy is it like borscht what what what do we ever say that's something in tears blood and tears no sweat oh it's blood sweat and tears but borscht in tears the tears. But borscht in tears? The letter N. So borscht in tears. Oh, borscht and tears.

Borscht. Oh, okay. Huh. But maybe, yeah. Maybe onions, like from cutting onions? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

Are there a lot of onions in borscht? No, that doesn't make any sense. I think it's more beets. Right, yeah. Yeah. There's some onions in there. Oh, yeah. You got to.

How about, or is this a bad name for a Forge restaurant? Abortion Clinic. Is it a bad name? Was that the question? That's a good name for it. Forged in clinic. This last one comes from Doug F. Is it Doug Fuck?

If you're going have one if you're gonna have a credo yeah i guess i live by whatever's on tv from 9 to 9 30 and i fuck by whatever's on tv at 9 30 both of them are ncis i live by the first half of NCIS. Oh, I watched an ad for the Frasier reboot. I don't know, man. Yeah, I don't either.

Cause I, a few weeks ago we talked about this and I I said nothing that's ever been rebooted has ever been good. Sex and the City? No. Oh. But I can't remember what it was. But I do remember at one time thinking, ah, darn it, I do like this one rebooted thing. Was it a movie or a TV show? Ah, darn it, darn it, no, darn it.

Darn, darn, darn, darn. What I like, I really like when a movie uh doesn't really they do a sequel uh 20 years too late yeah yeah beetlejuice 2 is on the horizon it must be so sad to be working on something like that no i bet it's fine you think well it's sort of like bath though yeah everybody's excited they get to see the same.

They're small enough that you can eat a lot of them. Yep. But they also fill you up. Yep. So I don't know how many I could do in one sitting. I bet you I could do 12. I was very late to perogies as a Ukrainian Canadian. I don't think I had them until college.

Like, nobody walks anywhere for the most part, you know. Past guest Paul Anthony was talking about how in Winnipeg, every winter or every spring, the snow would melt and you'd get a new bike. Oh, wow. Because you just find bikes that have been buried in snow for four months. Have you seen the videos of these kids in New York? And I think in Toronto, where they're riding like a BMX bike on one wheel.

Oh, yeah. And they're zipping in and out of traffic. Yep. Yep. They're doing that in Toronto downtown on the streets. It's sick. It's sick. You shouldn't be doing that.

But in a cool way. It's so cool. It's sick. It's absolutely precious. It's actually crazy what people do. I know. But it's like, it's absolutely precious it's actually crazy what people do i know but it's like it's cool to be able to do that and i would want to show it off if i knew how to ride on one wheel like that but it's too easy to just spin out and then oh yeah flopped into the other lane and then oh my god this is are you a biker usually all this like lingo. Spin out and flop.
