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 817 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.
My name is Graham Clark.
With me as always is a man who is short one Canucks calendar this through the rest of the fall into the winter.
Mr. Dave Schumacher.
Have we not talked about this already?
I don't think we've talked about it enough.
We've got to get a whisper campaign going to bring this thing back.
Yeah, the Canucks didn't bring back their calendar and now I don't know what to do with Novembermber and december i've got nothing yeah that's true maybe i'm assuming this is episode 817 i
usually write it on a gridded piece of paper with dates on it you could probably i feel like when i
was in elementary school there were a lot of calendar date you could draw a calendar and they
just had oh yeah maybe i could just print out from the internet yeah i have
this fancy printer yeah it's a brother print out uh you know some uh sexy ladies with a giant wrench
things like that oh sure you can make your own calendar one month that another month far side
what's the do you remember the earliest sexy photo you saw on the internet on the internet yes i
remember because it was at phil's house and phil had uh his parents didn't know on the internet on the internet yes i remember because it was at phil's house and phil
had uh his parents didn't know how the internet worked and give me a year uh this was in 1995
okay and uh he knew how to work the internet on his computer his parents didn't so all he did was
download naked photos of ladies but they would, we wouldn't do it live.
Like he would go and set it up and then walk away and it would be seven odd
hours.
You,
I remember a friend gave me on a disc about 94,
93,
a disc of a gay,
a strip poker game.
And it was basically, it wasn't even strip poker.
It was like basically classic concentration.
Like you won the game and it revealed a picture.
Oh, that's really good.
And the picture was a couple having sex.
Oh, nice.
And the man was wearing socks.
Like black socks.
And still a t-shirt, I think, as well.
Well, we've got to bring in our guest on this.
A returning guest to the podcast.
Oh, so funny.
It's Adam Christie, everybody.
Hello.
Hi, everyone.
Hi, Dave.
Hi, Adam.
Hi, Graham.
First internet naked picture.
I think it was.
Adam's younger than us.
I know.
This might be post 9-11.
I'll tell you right now i remember i think the first internet photo well someone printed them off for me the first internet photos of pornography that i ever saw i traded for 10 i traded 10 photos
for 10 rare but non-holographic Pokemon cards.
I love the terms of this contract.
Yeah, these were not bad Pokemon cards,
but not common Pokemon cards. You were really trading childhood for adulthood at this point.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I've never thought about it that way.
Yeah, time to put away childish things.
But one of the 10...
And whip out something adult.
My favorite one that I keep on one of the ten about something at all one of the my favorite one that i might you know keep on top of the stack was um photoshop britney spears on a naked woman's body
ah and she was wearing black socks
there were yeah the photoshopping was out of control back then yeah uh graham did you ever
have you got the brit Spears book yet?
No.
Okay.
Well, good news is I haven't read a single word since we last talked.
Oh, let's get to know us.
Get to know us.
Adam, are you going to read the Britney Spears book?
No, but I saw it.
It's pretty small.
It's pretty short.
Yeah.
It's a real quick read.
Is it only about, it's not like an autobiography is it yeah it's like 120 pages yeah it's very fast yeah boy i'm now i feel bad i haven't read it i got discouraged 40 percent of
the way through um no it's very fast some there is one chapter early on it's like two pages like you go like i
read it on my kindle and it says on the bottom of the thing yeah finishing the last chapter says one
minute left in chapter and then i finished that chapter start the next chapter one minute left
in chapter yeah i thought it was just going to be about her her period the recent period period
britney yeah yeah it's none of our business but it's her whole
life in in 120 well i i maybe she goes i'm assuming she zips through the the early years
and spends the last half on the the hardships and the the free britney era right so she hasn't
even shaved her head yet at this point wow do you guys if you were writing your autobiography how long do you think it would be and like you can pad it out with whatever you want she does this dreams that you have she does
this thing where whenever she's describing a person she'll say and when i say she was a bitch
she wasn't like like she started so many phrases with and when i say it didn't go well i mean it like
when i say she was a bitch dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot she was a bitch
just like they were like you can't turn anything less than 120 pages because
technically it's not a book at that point we can't sell
i don't know if i I feel like my autobiography,
it would be more of a zine than a book.
Oh,
nice.
More of like a 10 page roundup.
Yeah,
just pictures you cut out of blur.
Yeah.
Oasis.
I don't know why.
Why it's so Britpop focused.
Yeah,
it's basically,
you just transferred everything from like an FHM or a Empire magazine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was,
what was the one that was the British one?
Was that FHM?
Melody Maker?
Are we talking about music magazines or men's mags?
Lad mags.
Lad mags.
Lad mags.
I think they all had British.
Oh, really?
I think the British started the Lad mag craze.
I don't know if Maxim or FHM or Gear.
Gear started out their stuff. LadMag craze. I don't know if Maxim or FHM or Gear. Gear?
Started out their stuff with stuff.
Stuff and Gear were sort of the mad and cracked of the horny boy magazines.
Are they still going on?
Like, can you buy a Maxim magazine?
That's a good question.
In 2023?
Oh, my God.
I remember the last time.
This guy doesn't know what year it is because I don't have my Canucks calendar.
Because what was in Maxim
There would be like
Movie reviews
There would be like
How to
You know like
Make a different drink
Or something like that
Or like how to
Get in a fight
Or something like that
Yeah and it would be
It would be like
There would be a
Pretty girl on the cover
Yeah
Sometimes famous
Sometimes famous
Or this was how
She was becoming famous
that's true um would it be an interview with the woman uh probably care about what a woman has to
say i think if you put it with enough glossy photos then uh yeah you can catch anybody's
attention um it when i look up wikipedia maxim on wikipedia it is using the present tense maxim
is an international men's magazine.
Devised and launched in the UK in
1995, but based in New York City since
1997.
I remember the last
time that I read one, I was a teenager
and I was on a plane, and I had
bought one at the airport
book magazine shop,
and the lady next to me
just couldn't stop laughing you better not
do anything with that magazine they would have like but i knew she was laughing at me
and it was more than once would they have like gadgets and like or like yeah beer culture yeah
and like different like how to pick a pocket square stuff like this. This is, so I'm seeing here, it's owned by Sardar Biglari,
who I believe is like the owner of Steak and Shake.
Steak and Shake.
Steak and Shake and Maxim.
Maxim kind of was the Steak and Shake of magazines if I had to pick.
Now, can you, for the idiots, what is Steak and Shake?
It's not Shake Shack, and it's not.
Oh, it's a burger place.
Yeah.
Okay.
Do you guys want to hear what's going on?
Oh, my God.
What's going on?
Adam's picked up his phone, and he's about to tell us what's going on.
Here's why a Nova Scotia road trip should be on your travel bucket list.
What is this?
What are we doing now?
What?
Maxim. Oh, this is maxim this is what maxim is saying wine reviews oh wine reviews i never had that i think it had beer reviews in the in the good old days well now their their listener
readers have grown up with them that's true have i told you about uh what was jessica beal i think was one of the
have you told me about that no no well she she was on seventh heaven and she like kind of broke
out uh by being the cover model of i think i think it was fhm maybe and i remember it was a big deal
because she was it was such a uh yeah christian show and then she made fun of the
show in the interview uh where she said one time one line on the show as i got home from school
took off my shoes and said my dogs are barking and then she was she got in trouble because of
that really yeah she's been cursed to marry justin timberlake ever since. My dogs are barking.
Can you imagine?
Just like
the guys like
smoking cigars, right?
What do teenagers say
when they get home
from school?
Hoo-wee!
My dogs are barking.
Did you ever watch
Seventh Heaven?
Seventh Heaven was the one
that's religious, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I of course
watched a little bit
of Seventh Heaven.
And
I would be interested have they ever rebooted religious right yeah um yeah i of course watched a little bit of seventh heaven and um i'm what i
i would be interested have they ever rebooted seventh heaven oh yeah eighth heaven
what is seventh heaven well there were seven in the family weren't there but yeah i don't know
where the the expression comes from where seventh heaven comes from i'm also interested there was a so the guy
who was the dad on that show was a priest the character yes but the actor turned out to be a
creep uh more than a pedophile okay yeah uh more than just a creep yeah yeah yeah
but i uh that's my autobiography isn't it more than just more than just a creep
the title has dots
oh no
it was
I was thinking
I was like
was there something
that he did
in an airport
no but that was
a clip from the show
that went viral
a few months ago
about like
yeah there's a lot
of like how they
dealt with like
marijuana
has gone viral
I think
I've seen most
of those clips
but
we would watch it as a family and make fun of it.
We'd sit around and laugh and laugh and make fun of it.
And there were only five people in your family.
It was sort of like a fifth heaven.
Yeah, we invited neighbors over if they wanted.
Two neighbors.
Two neighbors could come over.
Or if my brother's out, three neighbors, you know.
Now, I'm just going to look up seventh heaven.
Now, this is, by the way the way listeners welcome to our lookup show
i'm looking at where the term comes from okay all right and there's no show on netflix or there's
no i mean this is proof that we're moving away from god as a culture that there's no room for
a show like seventh heaven today there might be several do you think so but we don't we don't
know where they are when i look for a movie when i'm typing in
the title there are so many things that pop up that i would have never in a million years
seen like if you just typed in the name the number seven it'd probably be like 20 titles that you've
never heard of before yeah it'll be netflix will be like well we don't have seven but we do have
um a long came a spider which is also kind of
a crime movie too which is also very boogie uh seventh heaven in religious or mythological
cosmology the seven heavens refer to the seven levels or divisions of the heavens oh my god
wait a minute there's so not only do i got into i gotta get into heaven but i gotta get into a good
heaven there's like vip sections and i'm getting into like a community heaven it does it sounds
very high school like oh great now i gotta like go up the classes well there are levels different
levels of hell that we all we're all well oh yeah but in that case you want to be in one hell you
don't want to be at seventh hell you want to be in first hell yeah you want to be in one hell. You don't want to be in seventh hell. You want to be in first hell? Yeah, you want to be in first hell.
First hell is just purgatory, right?
Yeah.
And sweaty.
It's warm.
It's warm.
It's just earth, but really warm.
Just really warm.
Uncomfortable, but not.
No water.
Are there seven levels of hell?
Yeah.
I thought there were eight rings of hell, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Dante's Inferno.
And I believe the seventh layer is so cool. hell yeah there were eight rings of hell isn't it yeah yeah and dante's inferno and the i believe
the seventh layer is so the devil is flapping its wings or something and it's so cold that you're
just like an ice oh shit i always think of it as hot but yeah i guess it could be cold yeah maybe
it's i think it's like dry ice it's like hot and cold hot ice yeah hot ice yeah i'm just looking
at the hot ice hell hot ice yeah this is coming up there it is
yeah so wait there's seven layers of heaven yeah um it's it goes uh sour cream yeah i was gonna say
bean yeah we could do them all we could the joke is done at one um, it's been about a year.
It's been a year.
On the podcast.
Well, when you were last here,
yeah, maybe it was 2021, 2022,
because when you were last here,
we talked about Wordle
because Wordle had just become a phenomenon
and I was obsessed.
Yeah.
I still do it every day.
Do you?
Mm-hmm.
What other?
Sometimes I do Wordle.
You know, I've been doing Connections.

I do framed.wtf.
Framed.
What is that?
In the Marc Maron universe?
I think it's.wtf.
It's a thing where it's like,
it'll just give you a frame of a movie
and you have to guess it.
Oh.
And if you don't guess it on the first,
you get six guesses.
Oh, so it's what, the film?
Six frames to choose from.
And they get easier as you go along.
Oh, wtf is the.com.
Yeah.
There's wtf now?
I might be wrong about.wtf.
Okay.
I do synetoonertle, which is the worst
name of it, but it's a grid
of 16, well, there's
two versions, but like
the reverse version is the more fun one,
where there's 16 movies.
And you have to arrange what four
of them have in common in a column.
Oh, that sounds fun. Yeah, and then there's
always one going across the other way.
Shit. So it's columns. Yeah, it's like a grid of column oh that sounds fun yeah and then there's always one going across the other way shit so
it's a columns yeah it's like a grid of 16 squares and you arrange the movies does it reveal a naked
woman once you solve it absolutely great but she's wearing socks and she's she's wearing socks
um and then she's wearing socks and t-shirt the guy is fully nude and i do for women i do uh i do uh immaculate grid hockey and puck doku
which are the same thing so you when you between waking up in the morning and finishing games what
are we looking at 11 a.m almost lunchtime honestly last night i uh was like uh i couldn't go to i
couldn't fall asleep uh and it was midnight i was was like, oh, I guess the tomorrows have turned over.
Let's give them a go.
Two in one day?
The tomorrows have turned over.
Well, Pukdoku starts at midnight, but the immaculate grids don't become available until 6 a.m.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
And are you looking to just do the grid or are you looking for high scores?
I cut myself off after 10 minutes i'm like 10
minutes right right right because you can do as many grids as you want no no you can do it but
just trying to solve it trying to solve a player who's a player who played for the columbus blue
jackets and the uh the nashville predators i don't know mike cylinder i like how there's a certain
type of name that totally could be a hockey name.
Like Sillinger sounds like a hockey player.
I was trying to think in my head, but like Smith doesn't sound like a hockey player.
No, there's never been a Smith.
Brian Smith.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, but it's with a Y.
I'd pwn you in a MacLeod Griller hockey.
I can't speak.
I do the real quiz.
Do you guys know that one?
No.
Is it R-E-E-L?
No.
But it's movies so you get for example
adam sandler chris rock and we all know that movie is top five that was one today i didn't
i didn't get top i got everyone but top what is um there's another one i used to do called actor
oh actor oh actor fool and it would be like give you you would guess like robert de niro
and it would be like too old and it would there's a list of like all twin they're 20 biggest movies
right but all the titles are x'd out and it just tells you the genres and years they came out oh
also like their rating out of five but it's messed up because um there's like movies from the last
10 years all the marvel movies are like four and a half star movies apparently i believe it
they had a good run yeah up until that last one and now it just seems like they're flailing they're
introducing characters that you couldn't possibly care about i saw someone uh had a review that like
a preview kind of thing of like oh oh, the Marvels is coming out.
And it's only going to be 98 minutes long.
And people are like, but I'm paying for a full three hour movie.
People are mad that these movies are mercifully short.

Ooh, good question.
Let's go to therealquiz.com.
Okay.
But wait, what time do you wake up?
Oh, well, you're with child.
I'm with child and I have dogs
and the dogs really wake up the earliest.
My dogs are barking.
I was back.
Woo! It's what my kids say when they get home from school.
Dad!
My dogs are barking.
So it was Chris Rock.
Chris Rock was actually not in it.
That was just a hint.
Isn't Down Turned Chris Rock and Down Turned?
Yeah, that's it.
But the hint for the Kevin Hart and Adam Sandler one
was Chris Rock comedy.
Oh.
Five o'clock.
And it's top five.
Top five.
Okay.
Yeah.
Chris Rock has had a real uneven acting career.
He's not known as a good actor.
No.
No.
But apparently he's really good in the Saw spinoff.
Oh, the Saw tale.
Saw tale.
Filmed in Toronto.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's a cop in it, and apparently he's really good.
So this guy, Jigsaw, we haven't been able to catch this guy in 10 movies.
Are the cops after him?
Yeah.
The cops are after him.
I just know, and I've only seen the first one, and the cops don't.
I don't think the cops are involved.
I think.
No, the cops are involved.
In the first one?
Yeah, I think so.
They're looking for him.
Yeah, there's cops.
Well, cops are involved in the first one. I think so. They're looking for, there's cops, but I think he dies in the second or the third one.
So they kill off the guy who's the guy.
And then everybody else is a copycat.
Oh,
I think,
but are they,
is everyone else really good at coming up with puzzles?
Uh,
you know,
to the,
to less,
uh,
degrees.
I mean,
the nine films,
you're going to start running low.
Oh my God.
Imagine there was a Bomb on your head
On your skull
That was gonna go off
But you had to say
What hockey player
Played for the
Pittsburgh Penguins
And the Nashville Predators
I'd just be like
Crush me now
Nick Bonino
Yeah the only one
I remember is
Cause our kids
Are very interested in
It's off
Well they are
They're interested in
Horror movies Oh yeah Cause it was Halloween It was And they The only one I remember is, because our kids are very interested in. It's off. Well, they are. They're interested in horror movies.
Oh, yeah.
Because it was Halloween.
It was.
And they love the idea of a horror movie, but it's too scary.
But they want to know what they're about.
And we're like, yeah, Saw is.
Rube Goldberg-esque.
Yeah.
There's a guy who's got puzzles and you got to solve.
It's like you're in an escape room, but maybe the key to the room is in your stomach yeah exactly i think that's what the woman has to dig through her boyfriend's
stomach to find a key to the reverse bear trap on her and she's like oh no i why did i serve him
such so much chili now i gotta get it's not the blood that kills you so much as the chili.
Oh, it's so spicy.
Why did I put so many
different keys
in this chili?
And if he was like,
no, don't do it.
She was like,
I was thinking
we would break up anyway.
I don't feel like
this was going anywhere.
So I'm going to go
for that key
and then I am out of here.
I'm not sticking around.
So how do you get a key
in a man's stomach
without him knowing?
Oh yeah,
I guess you knock him out. Yeah. You knock him out, you do surgery, you hide a key in there and's stomach without him knowing oh yeah i guess you you knock him out yeah you do surgery you hide a key in there yeah you gotta get the key out did
the guy does he wake up being like huh what's this scar on my stomach yeah yeah oh well anyway
this room sucks i hate being in this room the thing is too is in the first one, it's like all kind of ramshackle, you know, irons and rusted metal.
And as it goes on, there's ones that have lasers.
So there's ones that have a whole room.
Well, they're getting their new jigsaws.
Yeah, but they're.
They say that there's something like tens of thousands of, I might have that number wrong, of serial killers operating right now in north america
10 000 when i said i got that number wrong in north america maybe they're all in one village
too maybe yeah yeah look look to your left look to your right if you're not a serial killer
um but there could be you know 10 jigsaws, certainly.
Oh, sure.
At the very least.
Well, that should be a movie, 10,000 jigsaws.
See, that's not bad at all.
The most recent one, it goes back in time and he's back.
It's supposed to be what would happen after the second movie or the first movie.
So they bring him back.
Oh, so it's a jigsaw that we didn't see.
It's a jigsaw that we saw in the first one. So they bring him back. Oh, so it's a jigsaw that we didn't see. It's a jigsaw
that we saw in the first one.
Right.
Yeah.
But we haven't put
one of these other things
that he did to movie yet.
It was like the creators
were like,
oh yeah,
there was another jigsaw
thing that he did
that we forgot about.
Yeah, so they go back in time
and then,
so 10 takes place after
two, I think,
immediately after two.
They don't go back in time.
They might. I don't know. I haven't seen it. They don't. If I think, immediately after two. They don't go back in time. They might.
I don't know.
I haven't seen it.
They don't.
If I had a time machine,
I would go back in time
and kill Jigsaw
before he could do
all that stuff.
That's according to
unilad.com.
Just how many serial killers
are there on the loose
in the U.S. right now?
Well, if you're thinking
between five and ten,
you're in for an
unwelcome surprise. It's
12.
What do you
call the guy that Joe Rogan
is always like, look that up, look that up.
It's Dave today.
Okay, so
my 10,000 was a little high.
Okay.
According to the World Atlas, the FBI reckons there
are between 25 and 50 active serial killers in the United States.
Okay, okay.
That seems high to me.
That seems high.
Yeah.
But, no, I mean, it's lower than someone recently told me it was 10,000.
So, that would be really bad.
10,000 serial killers.
That's great.
That's for a movie, 10,000 serial killers.
I mean, there's one
for every state
one for every state
yeah
oh yeah
I wonder if they
like represent their state
yeah
they do
like a swimsuit competition
usually just
wearing socks
and a shirt
their talent
is all
murdering
yeah
well some of the guys
do puzzles
that's true
do very
involved puzzles ask questions about the state of the guys do puzzles. That's true. Do very involved puzzles.
Ask questions about the state of the world.
What would you do?
I'd kill, get my hands on somebody and kill them if I could.
Yeah.
How would you solve the crisis?
I'd kill my way out of it.
Reverse bear trap.
Yeah.
There's one guy Who's
Skill is
He's a sommelier
Oh that
Totally
There'd be the sommelier
Killer
That would be
Oh wow
Hannibal Lecter
Yeah
Fava beans
Or like you'd be
Not candy
Fava beans sandwich
Would you be in a
Reverse bear trap
And there'd be three wines And you'd have to tell him which are wines or which?
Oh my God.
That would suck.
Yeah, that would suck.
Now, do you really like wine?
Sometimes.
Yeah, okay.
Could you tell the difference between wines?
No.
Okay.
Unless one was like clearly white.
Not even.
Am I blindfolded?
I don't know if I could tell a warm white from a cold red yeah you could
you could you could okay yeah i don't like white good you don't like white no okay um i can't drink
the red because it gives me a migraine headache no migraine headache i only drink it because it's
um i get if it's cold in the winter i don't want to drink a cold thing but i want to drink yeah of
course right you got it so red wine is like the ultimate in room temperature alcohol yeah and then you know
hot toddy cooled off a little bit remember people uh like in the aughts people would be like oh if
you're sick you have to drink a hot toddy you have to drink yeah by law we read that in maxim
yeah like i remember going to i remember being 25 and going
to a bar and being like oh i have the flu this is back when you like the bar and they were like
welcome come in and people be like oh you have to have a hot toddy and now with the knowledge that
we have it's like don't drink alcohol at all yeah i mean ever yeah that's true they're really that's
the real the new angle is don't ever drink alcohol i'm not sold i'm not sold on this uh i was at a bar in vancouver and there was a poster i don't know if
this is legal by law but it was a poster being like every drink you have is a step closer to
cancer or something no that's uh that's not required by law that was just purely a choice
of the bar it's not really not smart yeah some places have a theme bar that's like,
we're sort of like a cheeky place.
There are places you're getting cancer.
That's our theme.
Yeah, you go in the bathroom,
the whole wall is just pasted with cigarette packs.
Yeah, they really,
what is the thing?
There's like,
it was that you would have like five a week or something like that, or seven a week. It was that you could have like
5 a week or something like that
Or 7 a week
It was 14 a week for guys
And now it's 2
And then they said
The UN said that it probably causes cancer
It's the highest they can be without
Without collecting data
Yeah but like so does sugar
And I love both
Cancer cells love sugar
um yeah i'm told yeah by people seeing how much sugar i eat hey you know what i was reading a
comic book to my daughter okay then spider-man swinging in oh no i was reading a dog man
my daughter and uh no it was it was a cat kid comic club a spin-off a dog man. Okay. My daughter. And,
uh,
no,
it was,
it was a cat kid comic club.
It was a spinoff from dog man.
Sure.
And there's,
there's two characters,
uh,
saw a bowl of sugar and they grabbed a bunch of sugar cubes.
And I turned to my daughter and I was like,
have you ever seen a sugar cube?
Is that something from something that still exists?
And she's like,
I have no idea.
We,
I know for a fact that I have a box of them in my house but i gave up putting sugar in coffee because i was like that's just sugar i could enjoy
somewhere else sure i'm not gonna waste it in coffee i haven't seen sugar cubes in so long
probably because i haven't gone to coffee hour after church in so many years little little uh
brown stir sticks and uh yeah and a big uh mcdonald's a tub
of orange drink do you was that part of your childhood orange drink oh yeah i had some orange
drink i mean you guys aren't that much older than i am i'm 36 years old i'm 58 58 yeah wow i'm about
to retire i'm gonna retire this is the last episode, right? Yeah. Okay, that's great.
There's a comedian who's, he's an elder comedian,
and he's been saying all year that he's retiring from comedy.
And I'm like, well, fine.
Congratulations.
Yeah, technically I've also retired from comedy.
Like, if you do it zero times a week, yeah, okay,
you're not in comedy anymore.
But it's not like, well, I'm going to cash in my comedy pension.
Does this person do shows still?
I guess.
He's still hustling the mics?
Yeah, I guess.
But he's like, I'm going to retire.
Yeah, he's saying like, put me on before I retire.
Hey, what's your retirement plan?
Well, I got this nice coffin.
I've been saving up for a coffin.
I'm going to live in it until I die.
You should.
They should market that.
Yeah, you should just, you know,
small plot of land, casket size,
and yeah, you just live in your cabin.
Why don't they allow you to do that?
I don't know.
It would certainly make the graveyard scarier.
Yeah, don't expect to get out with all your belongings
if you go to the graveyard condo building.
Now, Adam, before the show,
we were talking about how
the Yuck Yucks Comedy Club in Vancouver
has become a place called School of Rock,
which we believe is a place for kids to take music.
Yeah.
That's kind of the,
I would honestly,
if the devil had a gun to my head and told me,
if jigsaw had a reverse bear trap to my jaw and said,
what is school of rock?
I would with 100% confidence say that it's a place where children learn.
Yeah.
And you were talking about is, is it possible? Do they do shows? with 100% confidence, say that it's a place where children learn how to play instruments.
And you were talking about,
is it possible,
do they do shows and can them still?
No, I wasn't asking can.
I said there's no way they would let a single man
watch one of these shows.
And then you said, would they?
I grabbed my phone, started typing in it.
Yeah, you hang around out front
looking for scalper tickets.
Last minute tickets to the School of Rock show.
Going on setlist.fm to see what they played last night.
They're new stuff.
Nah, I'm not going to go.
And then you started saying, I worked at Chuck E. Cheese.
We cut you off and we said, tell us.
Because there is, this is a, a I mean this is a look behind the
curtain of podcasting
but I hope
do people know
the term
save it for the pod
I guess
because it's
said before
pod
so it's never on pod
yeah but we do it
and then we forget
yeah that's true
you say save it for the pod
and then you just forget
yeah
because you're
we're having so much fun
talking about song
but save it for the pod is something uttered before every before most podcasts and then you just forget. Because you're an after that. We're having so much fun talking about song.
But Save It For The Pod is something I uttered
before every,
before most podcasts.
Now you've been,
you're a podcaster
from way back.
Yeah.
What was the show
with Bob Kerr?
It was called Zoinked.
But I was saying
that I worked at Chuck E. Cheese
because at Chuck E. Cheese
you had to have a child
to enter chucky cheese
oh that makes sense you weren't allowed to come into chucky cheese unless you were
accompanying a child and you would get a glow-in-the-dark um stamp on your hand and uh
you would um when you were leaving and entering they would make sure that you had the stamp
because you couldn't leave with the child
and not had a stamp on your hand right because that meant you broke into chuck e cheese through
the back and you're stealing it right yeah yeah what did you do there i was the games room
attendant wow yeah the grt gra were you like just supervising these tickets are working and
the machines are in good order and let let me tell you, they never are.
All of these machines are made out of garbage,
and they were always breaking.
And it's the first time I ever had a panic attack
was at the games room at Chuck E. Cheese.
How come? What happened?
Well, all the games were broken at once,
which usually had gotten into a big fight.
Because these games are operated by children who break things.
And a lot of the games are literally hamming them.
You're whacking a mole.
Yeah.
Half the games are basically called break this thing.
Or it's like, you know, this will break if anyone like over 40 pounds hangs off this, it will break.
It's going to snap.
And guess what?
This happens every hour.
Yeah.
So they're all breaking.
And there were signs of the saying
that playing more than two games a week
gives you cancer.
Probably.
So I remember every game was broken
and I was putting one of these
because the tickets go
and the tickets go in a big stack of tickets.
You insert them into the ticket.
Oh, that's interesting.
I thought a roll. Yeah, me too. Not a roll, stack. Stack. You put, insert them into the ticket. Oh, that's interesting. I thought a roll.
Yeah,
me too.
Not a roll stack.
So I was putting the stack and there's children around me everywhere telling me this game's
broken.
That game's broken.
Screaming around me.
And you're just in like a uniform.
I'm just in a uniform.
Okay.
And yeah,
you don't have,
I think it's like a,
possibly a referee.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
That's yeah.
Yeah.
And you,
you,
you moonlit it.
Footlocker.
Footlocker.
Yeah. And, uh, uh you know as a referee
toronto maple leafs um as a referee yeah the big referee gig the big three i forget paris
and then um i was putting the tickets in and in my hand they exploded and they went everywhere
oh shit and i remember like looking up into middle space where all these children were yelling at me.
And I think I had a panic attack.
I think I went to, I remember one time I was working a shift at Chuck E. Cheese and I would go hide in the broom closet and just sit down.
Yeah.
And one time my manager walked in and just found me sitting in the dark in the broom closet.
I'm having deja vu.
Have we heard this before?
to be sitting in the dark in the broom closet i'm having deja vu have we heard this before uh i know that we definitely had uh past guest dave mirage told us about working at he was a mascot at one
of these oh sure and the kids attacked him and um oh yeah i was i was chuckie cheese twice uh we
have uh in vancouver there's probably a chuckie Cheese in those suburbs, but we have Granville Island Kids Market has a
similar games arcade
Where you
buy children at this thing? Yeah, yeah
You don't need a stamp or anything
It's a market only for kids
There's actually a little tiny door
that they can go in while the grown-ups go in the big door
Oh, pretty good. But in this
games arcade
they have, you know you go, you put your, I think you need cash to get tokens out.
And then you play the games with the tokens.
They spit out tickets.
Then you take the tickets over.
They weigh them and they determine how many tickets you have and you get a prize.
That system has been replaced by and you get a prize. That system has been replaced by you get a card.
You get a card.
That seems less fun.
It is less fun without having the coins.
Or the tickets.
Oh, it just all happens on the card.
Yeah.
Ugh.
No way.
I mean, I wish I had that when I worked at Chuck E. Cheese.
I know.
That would be phenomenal.
But that system would break.
Yeah, absolutely. A kid would splash a Coke on the mainframe. Oh, yeah. Jones. I know. That would be phenomenal. But that system would break. Yeah, absolutely.
A kid would splash a Coke
on the mainframe.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
When I was in Las Vegas
many months ago,
Oh, my God.
I wanted...
My favorite city in the world.
Go on.
I love it.
He loves wine.
He loves Vegas.
There's only one casino
I could find
that still used coins.
Everything else
is exactly what you're saying.
What casino is that?
That's Circus Circus.
Oh, Circus Circus.
Where did you stay in Las Vegas?
Uh, one night stayed at the Bellagio and then the rest of the time, just a little like a
hotel just off the strip.
Oh.
Yeah.
Graham got married.
I got married in Vegas.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh my God.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Is this your first time in Las Vegas?
Yeah.
Wow. Is this your first time talking about it since you got married?
Uh nope
Oh okay
I think yeah I talked about going to Vegas
Um your first time
And your wife's first time in Vegas?
Yes
Wow
It was your first time or your family went?
I went when I was a kid
So I feel like I didn't really see Vegas
No no no
Um
But yeah it was a blast
Did you go to the Sphere?
Did you see U2?
The Sphere wasn't open yet
But it was there
But they only flicked it on
Like a month or two ago
Oh
I was there for the Sphere
Did you see U2?
No
I was there for Vegas Summer League
The NBA basketball tournament
Oh
And it was my first time in Vegas
And I said
I
This is my favorite city in America
Did you see Victor Wambanyana?
I did
I did
It's alive.
Very tall.
Yeah.
Really tall.
Big arm span.
What did you like about Vegas?
Or are you, did you actually hate it?
No, I loved it.
Yeah.
I truly loved it.
I loved it too.
Yeah.
I think it's wonderful.
The only thing that I couldn't figure out, and I have a friend that lives there.
I was like, do you get used to just the blazing heat?
Like, can you go and run errands and stuff without going from air conditioned condition she said you do yeah that was speaking of britney spears that was where britney spears
who i guess lives in vegas or is performing yeah she ran up to victor wim pinata and uh he didn't
know who she was and um his security knocked her away yeah Yeah, knocked her to the ground. Yeah, maybe.
Oh, God.
I think he, like, pushed her face or something.
Well, yeah. I was there.
It was like everybody was talking about it.
It was crazy.
Yeah.
Pushed her.
He just pumped somebody's hand.
But he's an enormous man,
and he's got people chasing him down all the time.
He doesn't know that this is Britney Spears.
That's true.
Britney Spears doesn't deserve that. Everyone else does.. That's true. Britney Spears doesn't deserve that.
Everyone else does.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But Britney Spears should have carte blanche to shake any hand she wants.
I hope there's at least a paragraph about it in her 120 page book.
An addendum.
An addendum.
An addendum.
I'm an addendum.
I'm an addendum.
I'm an addendum.
But yeah, I love Vegas.
I hope I go 10 times before I die.
It's, I would go back. Like I get people who go, who say like, I go 10 times before I die I would go back
I get people who say I go every single year
I totally understand
Did you go to the neon graveyard?
No I was too hot
So you gotta go back, go at night
Go in the winter
Go for Christmas
Go for winter league
I truly will
Don't try to stop me
Have you ever been to Vegasgas dave uh yeah i won
a contest whoa to uh from a radio station in 2006 the uh 2008 i don't know what did you have to do
was to be six scholar or no i was a standout comedy competition oh oh yeah it was the funniest
comedian with a day job and i had to perform At Boston Pizza At six in the morning
Oh yeah
Wait was that in Ontario?
No it was in Vancouver
There was one in Vancouver too
Yeah
Six in the morning
And
Good thing there was
No games back then
Yeah
Who would have to
Got up at three in the morning
And a lot of people
Who were like
I worry
We came here
To Boston Pizza
To watch this competition
Like strangers
Like not people
We'll have your
Breakfast pizza please
Stahls pierogies on it
Your non-stop pop
For those of you
Who don't know
Boston Pizza
Is a pizza chain
Which by the way
I learned
So there's a
Canadian pizza chain
Called Boston Pizza
And they serve
Pierogi pizza
It's like pizza
With fries on it
And whatnot
I'm sure you can
Get a regular pizza
Yeah you can get
A heart shaped pizza
On Valetized
That's right.
Yeah.
I've called it the worst chain restaurant in Canada.
Oh, that's interesting.
I don't know if they're a sponsor of yours and I can't say that.
No, no, we don't have sponsors.
But yeah, this is an interesting conundrum.
Go ahead.
But this is up for debate.
I want to have this debate.
So everyone always talks about how dumb it is that Boston Pizza is called Boston Pizza
because Boston Pizza, Boston, Massachusetts pizza does not exist yeah right detroit pizza there's
you know deep chicago we all know new york new york style pizza boston pizza doesn't exist oh
vegas pizza but i learned recently it's named after a guy like boston is one of the guys who started the chain that's why it's called boston pizza
whoa yeah that's interesting that's interesting as hell i didn't know that yeah the other one of
the guys that started it is like the old guy on dragons yeah i think so yeah and his uh son is the
general manager of the toronto maple leafs is that I think so, they're both tree livings, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The thing about Boston Pizza, if you're on the road doing comedy
If you're after a show
Wanting to get something to eat
Usually Boston Pizza is the only game in town
Now I'm trying to think of a worse chain
Because I don't have any animosity
Towards Boston Pizza
I think it's, you know
I got busted for bringing a drink into,
uh,
an alcoholic drink.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
What the hell?
You're not allowed to do that anyway.
No,
I know.
And I was drunk.
And then the,
the kid that was serving us was like,
I saw you bring that.
Yeah,
but I'm allowed to a week.
And this is what it was already open.
I saw it.
So do what?
Did he take it from you? Yes. The kid took it from you. Yeah. it. So did he take it from you?
Yes.
The kid took it from you.
And then did he have to frisk you?
Had to, wanted to.
For me, I feel like Boston Pizza is, they have nonstop pop.
They've got, I used to get a little lasagna.
Oh, sure.
I used to go on dates.
Abby and I used to go on dates there.
Oh, my God.
Oh, sure.
I used to go on dates. Abby and I used to go on dates there.
Oh, my God.
And the times, the things that I think are worse are like generic, like Kelsey's.
Kelsey's.
That's kind of like a breakfast-y, lunch-y place?
No, it's like just a generic diner food.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or, boy, I feel like even.
We're talking Outback Steakhouse.
We're talking.
I don't, but I don't think of that as canadian right i think of like east side marios or yeah uh yeah oh for a long
time i think the one that always got under my skin was jack asters you're like jack asters was too
silly for its own good and and now it's like a club now jack asters is like a nightclub yeah
i know i'm gonna go there and the bartender still writes his name on a piece of paper And now it's like a club. Now Jack Astor's is like a nightclub. Yeah, I know.
I'm going to go there and the bartender still writes his name on a piece of paper.
On your placemat?
Yeah, you get a kid's placemat.
This will keep you busy while you're waiting for a drink.
It's got a martini glass with a maze in it you gotta find the olive this is a really good idea yeah connect the food uh like a and w is obviously great it stands for
abracadabra that's right um people love harvey's i've always liked harvey i don't have it anymore
here um you know what's interesting when i lived in the states i was really excited to go to
all of the because you see commercial you see american commercials in canada and you you go
wow i'd love to go to a sonic i've never been to a sonic yeah or i've never been to a jack in the
box absolutely and so i went to all these places and i was like oh the cream does rise to the top
when it comes to the international chain yeah like there's a reason why this hasn't broken through
these places are disgusting there's a what is it that's in the airport carl jr yeah there's a reason why this hasn't broken through. These places are disgusting. There's a, what is it that's in the airport?
Carl's Jr.?
Yeah, there's a Carl's Jr. in the airport.
Which is just such a random thing to have.
I did try my first Arby's a few weeks ago.
I loved it.
Have you had an Arby's?
Arby's is, there's Arby's in Canada.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
But he had never had it.
I love Arby's.
Yeah, yeah.
I loved it.
And people think that, when I say this, people think I'm joking.
And I'm absolutely not.
And Graham was, Graham. Eating at Arby's in joking. And I'm absolutely not. And Graham was.
Eating at Arby's in Vegas.
That's your seventh heaven.
Honestly, God.
Graham was lamenting Arby's.
His childhood.
He went to Arby's once.
And can I tell this?
Yes, please.
Well, he was at his friend's house.
And the parents said they're going to go for hamburgers.
And it ended up being Arby's.
So pissed. And the parents weren't're going to go over hamburgers and ended up being Arby's. And so pissed.
And the parents weren't Canadian.
And so it's all hamburgers to them.
And you described the meat as gray with like that rainbowy oil on it. You would see like in a gasoline bottle.
that friend also is the friend that uh we discovered uh porn magazines in his dad's toolbox and it was all women with drills and wrenches
and then you looked in his glove compartment it was all naked ladies in cars
with gloves on yeah because of the
compartment
yeah
but then he had
like an on theme
porno
oh boy
what are your
thoughts on the
Canadian chain
smokes poutine-ery
mmm
I'll eat there
I'll eat there
if it's the
the only game
in town poutine-wise
feel like I've eaten it in Winnipeg a few times never in Montreal I would never I'll eat there. I'll eat there if it's the only game in town, poutine-wise.
Feel like I've eaten it in Winnipeg a few times.
Never in Montreal.
I would never eat it in Montreal.
No, no, no. Of course, come on.
But, yeah, I'm trying to think, like, I'm trying to grasp in my head.
This is such a hard thing.
He said that bossa pizza is the worst, and it's my job to come up with a worse one.
This is hard.
This is hard.
I mean, what's he going to do?
Be like, oh, you're right.
No, he's made his stand.
That's true.
I will,
you know,
if I,
I'll play fair.
If I do believe you're right,
I'll say you're right.
I'm just wondering,
like,
do you have things like,
there's so many that are so similar that.
Yeah.
Trying to think of one that has annoying advertising.
Milestone sucks.
Milestone does suck.
But.

The weird Weezer hotel.
And,
uh,
yeah.
You want my sweater? It was a gift shop. Yeah. And, uh, yeah. You want my sweater?
It was a gift shop.
Yeah.
Wait,
how was,
how,
how were they?
Uh,
did you laugh?
Did you laugh at Jerry Seinfeld?
Yes.
And Jay Leno?
Yeah.
You know,
Oh,
I laughed at Jerry Seinfeld and not so much at Jay Leno.
Okay.
Um,
and then he would literally like the guy in front of me at Jay Leno was wearing like a big Hawaiian shirt and holding a cigar and had his arms around two women.
It's like, this is the life.
Yeah, this is the crowd.
Isn't this great, ladies?
Jay freaking Leno from the television show.
Yeah.
Jay freaking Leno From the television show
Yeah
And Jay Leno literally did
Went through the entire front row
Of the theater
And asked everyone their job
Whoa
That's a lot of people
I mean that's Matt Rife's bit
Matt Rife is the handsome comedian right?
Oh
The handsome doesn't even explain it
I think they should
You know how comedy clubs
used to have names like yuck yucks and the chuckle hut yeah now there should be one called
what do you do for work it's the spritzing only yeah i need to populate my tiktok yeah
running out of good stuff um anyway so so I'm making this thing. Yeah.
And the problem with this IKEA desk is it's got a little drawer.
And you can choose which side the drawer goes on.
You can choose.
Yeah.
So it could either be left, on the left side or the right side.
And you kind of have to, I had to do the thing, like we were talking about when you're on Google Maps and you're walking around and you're like, wait, which way am I facing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had to do that so many times. Well, like, OK, so this has these holes on this side, but the instructions are facing this way.
So I had to, like, orient myself around the room, put the piece down on the ground and be like, OK, now I'm that guy from the catalog.
I'm the guy with the nose yeah yeah yeah uh i hope
i'm not on the phone to ikea later like this guy um and uh yeah so they make it um uh it's a little
complicated when you can choose which side because there's like two paths of your instructions.
And they.
Choose your own adventure style.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've never seen this ever in an Ikea.
No, I mean, in any furniture. Well, we have a bunk bed or like a loft bed that had like so many options.
Options.
Oh, like where the stairs would go.
Yeah.
You could have the desk on this side, the closet on this side.
Huh.
Closet in a bed.
Oh, it's a loft bed.
So it's underneath the bed.
So there's a closet under one of the
beds? Well, there's just one bed.
So it's not a bunk bed, it's just a loft bed.
And what's under the loft bed?
There's a closet. A closet. A desk?
A desk and a
some bookshelves. Where's
this desk you're putting together going to live?
Oh, it's next to the TV.
Oh, so it's main floor. Yeah.
No, no, uh, closeable door.
Um, and it was, uh,
in the garage.
Actually, I keep it in my toolbox.
I'm just going to head out for
some hamburgers.
Taco Bell.
And then so I, it goes up to like step nine in the, in the instructions.
And then it fast forwards to step 25.
And I was like, oh, okay.
I guess steps 10 to 24 are if you're doing it the other way.
Right. And I turn the page and I, and I go through i go through it i'm like okay so we go to 25 right that works wait i think i'm missing
something and then i look and there is no 10 to 24 anywhere in the uh instructions oh shit and so
um i love how this is a this is a thing like the the loft bed specifically is you're going to put a child about six feet in the air.
And then the instructions are just like, wing it.
Yeah.
Do whatever you want.
Well, the loft bed's done.
I did that a couple of years ago.
Loft bed's all good.
No incidents with the loft bed.
A little too close to the ceiling sometimes.
If I go up there, I'm scraping my head.
Right.
Like if one of your kids wakes up, don't wake style they're gonna bang their head yeah well no they wouldn't i would
you would if i slept up there hey you know what i'm scared you i want to sleep there yeah yeah
yeah let's trade you go and you sleep with mom yeah yeah um anyway so uh i had to go
download the p PDF of this,
uh,
instruction.
Did you use your new computer?
Just did it on my phone.
And,
uh,
you know what?
Bingo,
bango did the whole thing.
Uh,
we can't get one of the drawers out.
That's a very hard thing to wrap my head around is the runners that the drawers go on.
Yeah.
I had a desk once that you couldn't pull the drawer unless you like press down a very specific way to get it on the runner.
Maybe that's what I have.
Yeah.
Cause I would,
I would like go at it with a,
like a screwdriver trying to open it.
And it was literally just like tap and pull.
But I didn't realize that until the last month I had it.
You only get it for a few months.
Yeah.
I had to trade it in.
But maybe you just say, it's like women's pants.
Like women's pants pockets sometimes are just ornamental pockets.
Yeah.
Just say it's.
Yeah.
This is like women's pants.
This is for show.
Yeah.
And then set up the computer.
This was on a Sunday.
I set up the computer and then the kids go to school on Monday.
My daughter comes home.
First thing she says is we have a research project on bees.
And I'm like,
yes,
www.bees.wtf.
Yeah.
All right.
So we need to find out what makes this honey.
Makes this buzzing sound.
And we have to fill out a grid
oh wow yeah that's it yeah the the yeah man i remember there wasn't a lot of uh fixings on the
internet uh research wise but you had you had a couple discs encyclopedia discs i mean imagine
remember having to go to the library oh yeah. And you need one piece of information and you can't hit control F and find the word wing.
I want to know what the B is, wing.
I remember when I was a kid and we had computer class in like grade, you know, nine.
And I remember in the 45 minute class or however long it was, it might have been an hour and 15 minutes.
The assignment was get
a picture of the thing that you are researching and we had an hour and 15 minutes because that's
how long it was going to take all of us to find a photo download it and then print it
one hour and 15 minutes all right there you go good yeah a plus yeah yeah. You wanted a shark? There's a shark. There's a shark.
Front of the class.
So Ikea is goaded.
And Graham, what's going on with you?
Speaking of buying things,
in my apartment,
you have to have a phone to access the buzzer
to let somebody in.
It doesn't come with a phone?
It doesn't come with a phone and there's no intercom in the wall or anything like that. So you have to have somebody in. It doesn't come with a phone? It doesn't come with a phone, and there's no intercom in the wall
or anything like that.
So you have to have a phone.
And we bought a cool one.
My sister-in-law found it at a thrift store.
Did you get a hamburger phone like Juno?
It's very hard to find a hamburger
or a hot dog phone
or one of those clear phones
where you can see all the internet working.
But I found a nice old,
you know,
not rotary phone, but looks like the
old rotary phone yeah it had push push button heavy heavy kill a man with it absolutely oh
that scene in high fidelity when he punches uh uh tim robbins in the face of the phone his teeth
fly out yeah so we had like one of those but uh it stopped working had to do a whole foo for all like i said
no it's the doors that's not working then the super came over and did it made me look like a
total jackass he's like it's your phone so then for a long time i just didn't have a phone and i
would people would buzz and i just say i'm gonna come down or leave it at the door and so uh but eventually it was
time to get a new phone it's not super easy to find a new phone uh-huh uh that isn't an office
phone like one of those ones that you know please hold and yeah right uh so i thought the the only
kind of coming to the cordless phones coming like varieties, one cordless phone or four or five cordless phones all in a box.
Wow.
Yeah.
Those are the two choices cordless wise.
I bought a cordless and then I remember why we didn't have a cordless was because it needed to be plugged in for power.
So there was no power outlet next to the phone outlet.
Oh, sure. So I went back and I returned it to London Drugs.
Now, I'm sure you went to Value Village before.
No, I just wanted, I needed it double time.
So it was just like, I'm going to get a phone I know that works. I went to Lender Drugs who recently said at this one location, they were thinking of shutting it
down because shoplifting is so rampant that they
can't keep a cap on things.
So they're thinking of closing this location.
And so I was.
Sorry, you read about this or someone told you
about this?
This was in the news.
This was in the news.
Yeah.
Right.
That they were thinking of closing because it's
too, it's too crazy.
Really?
So being in there makes you edgy.
There's so many security guards in there and I'm returning a thing.
So it looks like I've stolen,
right.
I'm about to steal a phone and I return it.
And I love the woman that I returned to reason for returning the phone.
I was like,
just doesn't work.
Like it's fine,
but I just doesn't work for my house.
Fine. Do you have a receipt fine this is the only like real transaction that she's had all day that hasn't been theft related hi i'm looking to steal a phone well yeah but i don't want one of those
office phones uh do you have something like a garfield phone do you have anything like that
that i can steal but uh yeah i felt i was edgy the whole time and so i bought
there's only one kind of phone that was just like a cord and a base phone and uh and then that needed
a battery oh my god it's just exhausting but if you're looking for just a phone like a phone with
the curly yeah cord you're gonna have one choice if you go to any
kind of like northern telecom your choice curly corded phones and it's like uh uh yeah you'd have
to i don't know where else you could buy one except for london drugs if you're in a city that
doesn't have a london drugs best buy best buy wouldn't have a cord phone in it what does best
buy have the games they got lots of games they got they got wordle they probably have wordle

i've never really talked about sex with men okay and i know you must just read about it in maxim
i just read about it maxim actually i don't really read about sex either i just see it in that
certain part of my life the sex part the sex part yeah the sex zone the sex zone yeah the s
z yeah the s z yeah it's the last letter of the alphabet so it took me a while to get to it
and some depending where you are you got to change the pronunciation of it that's true that's true
um z for our american listeners but um i would say for the majority of my life i i haven't talked
about sex with my friends and i asked my one of my friends i go do you talk about sex with any guys
and he goes yeah and i go what do you mean he goes yeah i talk about it all the time
that's weird because yeah i don't i don't either i don't uh but i don't go to locker rooms so i
don't know what goes on in those locker rooms. A lot of towel snapping, I assume.
Yeah.
You know, that's why I don't go to the locker rooms.
Yeah, exactly.
It's my butt.
That's getting slapped.
Yeah.
I'm not interested in that.
No way, man.
Yeah.
Uh, but yeah, I don't know.
You sit around like, oh, I had a date last night.
She was a goer.
Holy cow.
She was a goer.
She went and went.
Anyways, we'll see you guys later.
You're still not dressed.
Yeah,
I'm going to go
whip it out in the hall.
That's why I go to
men's only fitness
because it's nude
all day.
Dave,
do you talk about sex with your
friends?
No.
No?
Graham's my only
friend and the only
time I talk to him
is on the show.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Anytime it's brought
up, we really descend
into a giggle fest.
I talk to my wife
about it and she's
my best friend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's usually
like, can I please
have some?
And she's like,
maybe tomorrow.
You said that yesterday.
That's why you were mad
when you answered the door.
I'm always mad.
Yeah.
Um,
no,
I don't talk about it.
I don't think I ever did.
And I did in high school.
High school was like,
oh yeah,
that's all we talked about. But like you talked about it as, as in high school high school was like yeah oh yeah that's all we talked about
but like you talked about it as as in high school talking about it was like hypothetical
oh well there were guys that i know that had it a lot yeah this is my friend steve who had an
ongoing relationship with the woman he babysat for so he what... What? Yeah. Wait, what? How old was she? In high school?
Yeah, she was like probably...
How old would you be to have a kid?
30? And he was how old?
17? Or maybe
18, but definitely he was having an ongoing
affair with her. Wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because she was married.
Well... Whoa! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my God, and she was married? Yeah. Okay.
So this... this ultimate sin
no this is like a crime right yeah looking at your husband it's a crime
no but like that's all my wife like very as an adult you can look at that and be like oh this
was a very messed up situation she had some big problems yeah but he nobody knew his way around sex like
steve he really he knew all the answers yeah we had all the questions yeah yeah oh yeah i i mean
i would do that but then i think as soon as i turned i mean third 24 i stopped talking about it
i'd be interested in um uh like you know, Magnum condoms.
Sure.
I have a fact about this, too.
Okay.
Give it to me.
Well, I learned the Magnum condoms are only, like, one millimeter wider than regular condoms.
That's what I was wondering.
They're just wider.
Because, yeah, regular condoms, they can unroll forever.
Oh, yeah.
But a Magnum one, I was like oh oh could i i just want to know what they feel
what they fit like but they only come in like a 12 pack and i don't have 11 friends but
what they do have at the pharmacy like the uh dr scholl's thing you stand on you can stick your
dick in like a hole and yeah you're like this is the condom size that you need. Oh, sure.
Oh, and apparently I overpronate.
It's all in one machine.
You also get your blood pressure taken off.
Yeah.
No sex talk.
No sex talk.
So you were leading in with...
Was there...
Is that the whole overheard?
Well, no.
I've been talking about sex with my friends.
Okay.
Yeah.
But since I'm not a type of guy that does that, I say, like, we're friends.
I would say, and we don't have to talk about...
Let's not talk about sex on the air, for God's sake.
Yeah.
But I would say, Dave, you're my friend.
You know, I've been talking about sex with my friends now.
Yeah.
Do you...
We'd have this conversation, but then that would be an
invitation to be like let's talk about and do you have you been yeah oh it's really nice it's
and it's it's i feel step one to finally overthrowing this matriarchy that we're all
they should make a ken movie
but women talk about so i because i asked my girlfriend do you talk about sex with your
friends she's like oh god yes huh good lord yes wow do you think your wives talk about Because I asked my girlfriend Do you talk about sex With your friends She's like
Oh god yes
Huh
Good lord yes
Wow
Do you think your wives
Talk about sex
With their friends
I don't know
I got this phone now
So maybe she
Yeah she's talking
She can call
The Amazon guy
So quiet on the phone
Just people who buzz
Yeah
Hey what are you doing
Bed wise I'm putting one together
yeah i'm putting a little i'm making a loft one uh no my wife doesn't my wife definitely doesn't
no yeah but is this your overheard that you've just talked sex wise yeah this is a general just
yeah that counts it counts yeah i, but I'd love a specific.
You can't see their faces,
but Graham and Dave are so mad at me right now.
Yeah.
Shaking our head.
I mean,
I'm like,
I'm being added to something called the ban list.
I'm putting a leaf over the penis of a picture.
I was,
I was just wondering if there was like a very funny thing that your friends said about sex.
No,
well,
no,
it's just nice.
Yeah, I mean, I would, you know, keep my friends secrets with my dying breath.
Do you, since you've never talked about sex with your friends, are you, have you been doing it wrong?
Yeah, I've been doing it backwards apparently.
My penis goes in instead of out, which is crazy.
It retracts. That happens to all you guys, right? Where it's just like you get panicked and then right fellas this guy knows
what i'm talking about but i feel like too because i've been a long relationship with a woman and a
lot of my friends are married and they've been together for like five plus years yeah and i feel
like those people especially like me don't talk about sex at all. Because I'm like, hey, I don't want you to think about my damn girlfriend having sex.
No, you know what?
I remember I had a friend open up to me about like sex after 40.
And he was like, wow, it's so good now.
And we do this and this.
And I'm like, okay, yeah, it's good.
That's good.
That's good.
I'm like, yeah, it's good for me too.
But I'm not going to say we do this and this.
Oh, I'm not talking about this and this.
You talk about other things about it.
Yeah, this and that.
This and that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dave, do you have an overheard?
Yeah, man.
Oh, boy.
So it was Halloween night.
Go on.
Too scary.
We're now pre-pandemic.
Before we were Zooming, we were always recording a week ahead. Yeah. And we're back to're, we're now pre pandemic before we were zooming.
We were always recording a week ahead.
Yeah.
And we're back to it and I'm loving it.
Yeah.
Um,
and that's what podcasting is after 40.
It's,
uh,
it's so nice.
So nice.
Cause I remember,
well,
when I feel like whenever I've come on the show,
I go,
Oh,
talking about a current event.
And you guys are like,
like,
I'll be talking about Halloween.
You guys would be like,
this will air on St. Patrick's Day.
Yeah, that may be true.
You can't talk about today's wordle, because that'll already be solved.
And you can't say anything these days.
God damn it.
We can't even broadcast this at a college.
So it was Halloween night, and you went to the,
the Canucks played a hockey game.
Yep.
As they often do.
As they often do.
And who's,
they played against Nashville Predators.
And who played for both those teams?
None other than Ham Hughes.
Also Cliff Ronning.
I know you got one more.
Oh,
well,
and I said Nick Bonino before.
He's kind of a good,
there's a few journeyman players that you can kind of just guess like,
oh,
Ole Jokinen played for 12 teams.
Nice.
So if you're stuck,
you can just stick to Ole Jokinen.
Yeah,
you can stick to Ole Jokinen,
Mike Sillinger,
Jaromir Jaeger played for a lot of teams.
That's true.
I'm learning a lot on this podcast.
And,
um,
but,
uh,
the Canucks have a new,
um,
they have John Shorthouse,
who is the,
uh,
play-by-play guy yep and their usual um color
commentary guy john garrett uh has uh semi-retired he's not doing every game he's not doing any games
but he's doing other teams games but he's uh so he's still out and about but they have a new guy
they have a couple guys trying it out to be the color commentator. And so this was on Halloween night, a, uh, player on the Canucks, uh, Elias Pedersen,
Elias Pedersen, uh, got a hat trick.
I was there.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Do you throw a hat on?
No, I wasn't wearing a hat.
Well, and so what happens if people don't know when someone scores three goals, the
home fans will throw their hats onto the ice.
It's called a hat trick.
No dice, man.
I'm not getting a new hat.
You can pick it up from guest services after.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
And then I'll throw a hat.
I'll throw a fit.
But also, I never wear my best hat.
I always wear a fedora, so you can pick it out easily.
There's mine. Yeah. I wear a graduation a graduation cap okay it's thrown in the air but you do have to also
take it away from a poor child who's goes to hockey games trying to get a hat yeah take it
off the kids had a whip that counts as my hat i threw it so the he scored a goal and the color commentary color commentator on the the broadcast said
this this is my overheard if you dressed up as a hat collector for this game better get busy
and while i'm watching i was, say hat trick or treat.
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
If you were dressed as a hat collector.
Your costume was, guy who collects hats, time to start taking off your many hats and throwing them on the floor.
Wait a minute.
So what is a hat collector's costume, do you think?
I think it's probably eight to ten hats on top of your head.
Yeah, and then a pin that says, ask me about my hat.
Not for sale.
Or do you think it's like, you know, do you think it's like a Cruella de Vil, but with hats?
Oh, like she's killing hats.
Turning it into a nice coat.
She's collecting 101 hats to make it into a hat coat.
Yeah.
Someone once told me, I can't remember.

harry neal used to be the uh color or the commentators for and they were like 170 years
old yeah by the end of it certainly and if you combine their ages. No, I think they're 7,000
years old. Very old men.
And there was like a time
where they maybe shouldn't have been
broadcasting because they're very old. And Jeff
McHenry, I don't know if you've ever had him on the show,
you know Jeff. He told
me once he was watching a game where it was like the
Leafs and Canadians

This last one comes from Brad in Indiana.
I work in a college.
And while I was in the men's bathroom, I overheard one student say to the other,
who is currently using the urinal,
one of my favorite things is when you're waiting for a urinal,
and you see the person in front of you,
and their piss is just brown.
It's like, drink some water, dog.
This is his favorite thing.
Say it again.
I just need to know the situation.
Just a quote.
The quote is, one of my favorite things is when you're waiting for a urinal, Say it again. I just need to know the situation. Just a quote. Just not the...
The quote is,
one of my favorite things
is when you're waiting for a urinal
and you see the person in front of you
and their piss is just brown.

Between their legs.

Pooh's got to be in there.
Yeah, something's not connected right.

She's got two big tooth holes in her neck anyway.
There's that new guy in town.
All right.
Here we go.
Hi, this is Becky calling from Denver, Colorado with an overheard.
My husband and I were in Scotland for the first time this summer.
And we were in Glasgow and got to see the Banksy exhibit. And since it's such a popular exhibit, time tickets and you're kind of in a queue the whole way through.
So the same mother and young son were in front of us the whole way through the exhibit.
The son's probably nine or ten years old.
And at one point in the exhibit, turns to his mom and says,
I thought you were going to take me to see proper graffiti,
like at a skate park.
Okay, gotta go, bye.
I want to see this indoor graffiti.
This sucks.
Yeah.
Show me something that says,
something, a swear word.
A cool tag.
Yeah, a cool tag, swear word,
such and such and such and such forever.
I remember Banksy getting super huge
and being like a phenomenon.
And I look at it now and I don't understand what,
what,
what am I missing now?
Uh,
like when you see it,
you're like,
what's,
how did he become a famous?
Well,
a lot of people say he's not even one guy.
It's a many,
many people that all do stuff under the banner of Banksy.
Right.
Uh,
but it's just,
he would do like,
you know,
a stencil of a,
yeah.
And then people would like take that part of the wall out and then sell it at
galleries.
And that thing he did with the,
uh,
the shredder was pretty cool.
That was pretty cool.
And he also like did,
ah,
what was the movie called?
It was documentary.
Exit through the gift shop. Yeah. Yeah. And nobody knew if that was real. movie called? It was a documentary. Exit Through the Gift Shop.
Exit Through the Gift Shop.
Yeah.
And nobody knew if that was real.
They didn't know if that whole thing.
And then who was the French guy in that one that was so funny?
Mr. Brainwash?
Mr. Brainwash.
Yeah, he was awesome.
He was great.
My brother said that he once, in University of Waterloo, he saw graffiti that said,
My dad sucks.

The girl behind the counter,
slightly confused as me,
repeated back, human?
And the other lady said, no, human like human being and then there was a pause and then she said but he is a dog so she did say smelly
human and that's the name of her dog that was another one of those people magazine uh confusing
and also kind of like,
I don't know where this is going at all.
