Yeah! Get to know us. Hola. Hola, hello. Can I ask that? Come on. Tell us about, tell us about the special. What's going on? Where was it shot?

It was shot right here in Vancouver. It was a club, a nightclub turned comedy club for the day They don't do comedy there and I kind of just approached the venue person. I was like hey any chance I could shoot here I love the way this place looks. Yeah, and Fortunately, the person was like very that was trying to get fired He was like I love comedy which is not usually the case Yeah, so like and I was like on a Friday night. He's like sure. I'm like really It's called a lyceum is right over right above Denny's on the Thorlo and Hastings. Sorry Thorlo and Davy. Yes. Yes

Yeah, no comedy show it seemed it seemed to be like a million things before Yeah, these now tonight club. I didn't even know like about it till I was just driving by and saw it was open again. I'd done a show a long time ago then. I just loved the way it sounded, loved the way it looked. And fortunately when I came in, they had done so much renovations. Yeah.

Oh, I wonder what it looks like. It looked so pretty. They had like the roof looking all purple and the vibe was super, super cool. I remember when I used to have a Monday night comedy show. Yeah. And it was called The Jupiter back then when I used to do standup. And they had couches, big, soft, comfy couches.

And it was like, oh, we're losing the crowd. The crowd is going to sleep in these comfy couches. Honestly, like comfortable couches are the enemy of standup. Yes. Like, it is crazy. If there's something about your body just sinking in through couches, like, Iches are the enemy of stand-up. Yes Like it is crazy if there's something about their your body just sinking into a couch is like I'm not here I'm not paying attention. I'm done as crazy. They got rid of those. Thank goodness. No good now. They have real firm hard Spine and their legs that are 90 degree, which is the way Posture and everything

how Cuz I was like when I watch specials How many cameras for four cameras those are those five five cameras? Yeah, it was a lot You know what I mean, this is my first special So like I have to like sit down and look at which was the best for the angles Jordan as well did he and Tyler Morrison was the one that helped direct it. But yeah, we spent a lot of time looking through all of those cameras, obviously pick out which

would be the best angle for each punch of those jokes. You know what I mean? Oh, you had different angles for? Yeah. Wow. Cause then I would like, no, okay, that's the close up camera. So if I was going to hit like a punch line, I would look at that camera.

So I have to like remember that for all of that. And then we did two shows and then we wanted to see we had to watch Which one was the best version for for for obviously like the the final final form of the video? But man, it was a lot of work. Yeah. Yeah, and it's like You hate looking at yourself now that you had to sit down and do that buddy I almost I wasn't put this out like because I put an album last time and Audio only I got tired of listen to myself. But then this is the first time I've done like a visual Yeah, and man, oh man that I get tired of those jokes. I started be like man. Is this even good enough? Yeah

Where can people see it on YouTube on YouTube? Yeah YouTube Range of stand-up man. Yeah, it's it's down. We are YouTube. Got it. YouTube. Free range of stand-up, man. Yeah, it's really, I don't know who did it first, but it seems like that's become the way. I think Andrew Schultz.

When I think about YouTube specials, for some reason, he feels like a pioneer to me. And he's like Mr. Crowdwork. Mr. Crowd, that's how he started the thing. And now too many people have tried. Yeah, yeah. He killed. Mr. Crowd, that's how he started the thing. And now too many people have tried. Yeah, yeah. He killed it when he did it. You know, everybody gets it. I wonder if there are a bunch of people

did specials with streaming services, and then those streaming services went out of business, and you can't find their specials anymore? That's crazy shit. Like the last 10 years of specials. I'm trying to think, what other streaming services would have gone out of business? Well, it wasn't even out of business.

It was more like, didn't the big streaming services would have gone out of business. It wasn't even out of business. It was more like, didn't like the big streaming services for like a tax write off, bury a bunch of their content. Right, right. That's why I'm like, now I'm glad that you even said that. Cause those are those, the things I'd be worried about if I recorded something and gave it to, you know, like a streaming service and like,

yeah, we're gonna put it out eventually. Yeah, yeah. And like, like I think the YouTube, Like yeah, we're gonna put it out eventually. Yeah. Yeah and like Like I think the YouTube cuz there's that low Barrier to entry anybody wants to watch it Yeah, but like if you wanted to do something and somebody's like it's on max or it's on How do you spell that with a J Don't sponge how do you spell that with a J? Man you and J to be is like getting notoriety for some reason. Yeah

To be the one that has channels. No, it's like it's been free and I think it's just really down to just be free Yeah, I don't know what it is about to be but you know to be sweet What's on it any in anything like yeah, really? It's like it's weird. It's like almost like YouTube but then for some reason just the additional steps There's something has to be some additional steps to stop people from trying to get on but it's like it's still completely free Is it moves you see on there wild? Yeah, you know dude, you can see movies there because what's the one? There's like is it Pluto is the one there's there's one that's got channels and I'll be like you can't You can choose what you watch but you can't start it again. It's the one there's, there's one that's got channels and it'll be like, you can't, you can choose what you watch, but you can't start it again.

It's like, Oh, like you can't just like, you know, they're just doing like, you know, 24 hours a day of Magnum PI. Isn't that just TV? Yeah. It's basically TV. Right back to TV. You're not crazy. Yeah.

That's what we went the long way around. Cause it felt like also we went back to radio with podcasts, right? We got way back. It's so annoying the promises They gave us Netflix all these things right to come back and start charging for a dish like crave I cancel my crave when it was like yeah, so if you want to avoid ads you got to pay more I'm like, no, we're not doing this. Why? Yeah, I'm not doing this I've been around long enough to know what TV was like. I'm not Yeah, it's

When you're watching something and it has those commercials, it's usually one of two commercials I know that same one. Oh, that's the worst like the great thing about TV was you would see a commercial for a local insurance company. Yeah. And then you'd see a national like car commercial. And then you get a little bit of everything. Yeah. Now it's just the same reruns of the same thing, man. Oh my God.

Especially if you do like, I'm sure the Olympics are starting. I know, that's what I was just gonna say. We're rolling into the Olympics. And it's gonna be, like, I feel like when you watch the Olympics on cable, you get the same four commercials over and over, but that's how every streaming thing feels. I'm gonna be watching it on Gem, CBC Gem.

Okay. I would be watching the Olympics. Littered with ads. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. But it's the only, like like if you don't have cable, where are you going to see? That's fair. Thank you for that. I've been looking for where to watch the Olympics. Yeah, I tried like streaming it only illegally. Yeah, and anywhere CBC like that's who would watch their coverage anyways. Are you an Olympic fan? Yeah. What's

your favorite? No, top three. Do you know what like, like I would say basketball. I love watching basketball. Oh, yeah. Under meter, under meter dash. Yeah. That's one save go top three you know what like like I would say basketball I love watching basketball yeah under meter dash yeah I'm really gone to see anything else after that but usually I keep it the thing is like all the track and field stuff it feels like it's all happening at the same time it is in that stadium and then they're like okay and then they cut to someone doing a long jump and then they were back to hurdles. It's like, what I like about like the, I mean, you know the regulars, but for some reason,

it feels like anybody can just show up one year and just decimate. And then now you just know so much about them. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. Where did you come from? How did you get this fast? A lot can happen in four years. Yeah. I remember that first year that Michael Phelps dominated, just like so many, I just remember this story they did

about how much food he eats. Yeah. And I can't, like every time I think about Michael Phelps, I think about him with like a stack of pancakes and like a stuffed pig or whatever. Yeah, he won what? Like overall like 20 Metals something like a little yeah, okay. Oh, I even know we want to bet on it. Yeah, I'm gonna say I'm gonna stick with my 20

Okay, I think I'm like 30 30. Okay. I think I think he's closer Yeah, cuz I've seen this picture of him with all this metals. They've don't be saying just golds or just just no metal metals I'll say like 30. Okay, I'm gonna go what one. You're a Phelps hater. That's what you are. All right. Olympic medals total 28. 28. You win. I'm, that's amazing. That's amazing. Now, because like I remember seeing this picture of him like taking a photo of all of his medals. And I look at to be fair, I did count that's amazing. That's amazing. Now, cause like I remember seeing this picture of him like taking a photo of all of his medals. And I look at, to be fair, I did count a little bit. Did you?

All right, fair enough. Is it these guys? Oh boy, look at that. No, it was all around his neck. There we go. That's the one I saw. Cover of Sports Illustrated. Now, do you think during the Olympics,

he's at home going like, if I could just win two more, even 30, if I could just go back. Well, what I like is just something takes over. Like, I remember one year, all the swimmers had those cupping things on their back, all the circles all over their back. And so everyone learned about that. Yeah. And they like, it's amazing. Have you done it? I've done it many times.

Many? Many times. What's the process? I don't like I know the marks that it leaves But that's all I know. I don't really know what it like because I've had like I'm pretty active and I've sprained a couple things Like my lower back I just recently had it done for that And it kind of just alleviate gets more blood flows to the tissue apparently and then it helps it heal a lot faster Okay, and I noticed that usually after I walk out of that session and the pain is just

gone after just honestly, just maybe 30, 30 minutes of doing it. And then how many cups in that 30 minutes, how many circles do you walk? Well, it depends on how big the area of pain is. And like, I usually, I think they have four. I mean, I don't see it, but my wife shall show her and she's like, Oh, you got a cup and go. You just have like the Olympic rings. I'm going to tell you, you know I'm an athlete. I spray my bag trying to do a burpee man.

It was crazy. I don't stretch this. I wasn't doing anything amazing at all. Do you think, now Graham, do you know what a burpee is? Yeah. When a kid does it. When a kid does it. I was trying to think of the word squats. When a kid does it. When a kid does it. Yeah, yeah, because my word is different. I was trying to think of the word squats a couple weeks ago and I said squirms.

I was doing squirms. Oh yeah, I could do 10 squirms. I couldn't remember. Squidward? Oh yeah. Yeah. From Spongebob. And I was calling him Squishbert. Oh, yeah. Yeah from Spongebob and I was calling him squish Bert

It's fun we all forget words I forget all the time it happens to me on stage. Yeah. Yeah, but some clips I'll put out and some like hey, do you have a speech impediment? And then I'm like damn rude I think I do actually there are some words that just catch me off guard Oh, yeah, I'm speaking English. I've spoken on English my entire life, but there's certain words that just threw me off Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and like the one that I it's not the one that I say But it's on I can't spell every single time I've what it is recommended Yeah, the one that magicians say it threw me off for years and I still get stumbled by it which one I'm a The one that magicians say it threw me off for years and I still get stumbled by it which one I'm a I dig about

Abracadabra that one. Yes. Yes, Abracadabra. I can only say it after so It's not really I couldn't say that word for the first time Cuz I've been hearing in my entire life and the one time I wanted to say it out loud. So I was like wait what? Well, you're not a magician so that's fine you don't have to use that phrase if you don't want I was doing it a riff too You know what that thingamagist is be doing and saying? I come up to Taba, kuna matata. Kuna matata, kuna matata.

What else do they say? They say hocus pocus, the alakazam. Yeah, they say, do they say voila? I feel like they say, no, no, I guess. It's more of a waiter. Voila, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a chef is a voila. Yeah.

Yeah. Someone taking off that big cloche from the food. Oh yeah. Like the big shiny domes. Yeah. Know what you're calling it? I don't know what those are called. Cloche. Cloche?

Cloche. Right on. French. Have you ever been at a place that has cloche? Cloche? Nah, nah. My wife, she's a foodie and she takes me to fancy spots that I do not know the name of. Right.

All the time. I should, but I don't. And when you eat this stuff, do you appreciate the foodiness of it? You know what? I respect it. It does taste great. You know, it's just I'm not suited to be in such places cuz I'm such a fool sometimes You know, she's a hey this we're supposed to be doing dress nights for this But I'm like making like fart jokes at the desk. It's on You know, she's all dressed up nice, so I'm dressed up another way. I was like, we have... He's trying to say Africa Dab.

We have this and that for our special on my eye. Cool, man. Just go with it. I'm like, sure, hit me with whatever you got. Yeah, I feel like the only time that I've been to somewhere that had those domes was at a roast. Cloches, Graham? Cloches, yes.

Cloches. Cloches. At a roast for the mayor 15 years ago, and they had really fancy beautiful silver trays and all that kind of stuff. Gotcha. And the dessert had gold on it. Nice. Yeah.

I don't know why people eat gold. Because they can. That's not make sense just this to flex to know you're gonna shit that later is crazy I gotta go shit my gold real quick. I'm gonna start saying it that way. I'm gonna go shit my gold. Yeah. Yeah, Dave, fancy place, cloche?

Yeah, well, I remember going to like a really fancy place that we were excited to go to, no cloche. But I remember like, oh, help, put on like a sport coat and going there and people were just, it's Vancouver. So people were just in sweats. Sweats, yeah. Yeah, rich. Like this is just rich people who.

Look at this idiot. Yeah. I should have dressed fancy to a fancy restaurant. I mean, yeah, the most. He thinks this is fancy. I'm just me at the cactus club with a tuxedo on. I think he just got married. Don't see the bride anywhere.

I hope he works here or just got married. Or you have bottomless fries. Now you grew up in Fort McMurray, Alberta. And for the listeners that don't know, that's like the oil town of all oil towns. There's all refineries and... How long do you live there for? Since 2005.

I moved from Nigeria. I was born in Nigeria, raised there, and then moved to Fort Mac straight after that. And to this day, I still don't understand why we did that. Yeah, I don't understand either. It's so wild. I did actually ask my dad recently about it. And he worked at Coca-Cola for like 16 years prior to that.

Oh yeah. And his job required him to like travel a lot. So I'm like, dad, like, you know, he seemed to like his job. My dad loves traveling. I'm like, why did you do this? And he's like, oh, we're just looking for a more stable place to live.

And I was just looking for job applications And I submitted and I got the job. I'm like that is just way too simple. Yeah He's like, yeah, you know, we've always thought Canada was nice I'm like, but like why for Mac is like the pay was awesome. Right was that oil? Yeah Yeah, you work they worked at the oil companies over there So the pay would seem amazing and I amazing and we just thought Canada was just beautiful. Yeah. Because we've known about Toronto and Vancouver.

My dad, from the conversation, what I was getting was, I think he just assumed that it was just going to be all over. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like, okay, we're finding it a little bit out. Sure, it's a smallish town, but then we got there to realize how small the town can be. Did you work there in Fort McQuarrie? You worked in the pipelines for a bit.

That was in Southern Alberta. Which company? It was called West Coast Patrol. Oh, West Coast Patrol. Oh, West Coast Patrol, yeah, they're good. Yeah, my dad worked with Suncor. Suncor, yeah, my brother works for Suncor. Yeah. Yeah, man.

It's in Alberta, there's a contingent of every Graduating class who are like immediately after they graduate off to the oil. Yeah, and making obscene obscene amounts of money Yeah, yeah, it's uh, I don't know why I didn't do it because I don't like I don't like like don't be Oily, you know what I mean? Oh sure. I did summer jobs there made me realize I do not want to do that What did you do? Oh, man. I did summer jobs there. It made me realize I do not want to do that. What did you do? Oh man, I was a summer student. So I was supposed to be doing it for engineering. But then unfortunately, a couple of people died that summer.

Jesus. Yeah, so like they got scared because we had summer students. So basically they blocked us at a warehouse. And they're like, well, now you're doing inventory. Right. Just count everything in this warehouse. You're just looking for things for us to do. We're supposed to be shadowing engineers, going to meetings, but then they didn't

want to risk any more casualties for that summer. So literally I was like inventory. They got a new system called SAP. So basically you have to like log bolts in like discs and different pipes all summer. And I know that sounds glamorous. It was the most brain numbing job I've ever had in my entire life. The drive there.

Do you still remember how many bolts there were? Oh dude, no, no. I was just making up numbers. I was like, why would you ask us to do this? Why? Someone got to fact check this. No way. You still got paid though, right? Oh yeah, I got paid an obscene amount of money.

Nice. And I realized that moment that like, regardless of the money I was making, I hated this so much. Yeah. That I don't want to be doing any job that would bring me, because at the time I was going to school for accounting, sorry, for engineering, planning to go for engineering. I'm like, I don't want to be doing anything that's going to be keeping me in this area. Right.

I was like, no way. I'm not going to do supply and chain anymore. Because I was like, I don't want to be doing anything that's gonna be keeping me in this area. I was like, no way, I'm not gonna do supply chain anymore. Cause I was still, this was grade 11. So I was trying to like, so I was doing a co-op and I was like trying to sort out if I wanted to do engineering or supply management. I did that for an entire summer. And I'm like, never, I'm not doing it.

I'm doing accounting, accounting feels better. I can go to a big city and do accounting. Inside. Yeah, inside, far away from, and can go to a big city and do the accounting. Inside. Yeah. Inside far away from, and the drive to the places was nuts. I have to wake up like 4 AM and just the conversation. No, it just drive back was insane. Yeah. Punching new fees on there. Yeah.

Saying the most horrendous things. They're fun. Some of it was funny, but sometimes there was those crazy guys that would say some real wild shit. Yeah. Yeah. It's, um, it's a wild town. I did stand up there many years ago,

and it is, when you drive kind of close to the refineries, at night, it looks like hell. Like there's a smoke coming up out of the ground, and there's like these kind of big red lights. That's not what hell looks like. What does hell look like? Oh my God, Graham, even you see my paintings? Oh, the class.

Most people think hell's hot. It's actually freezing. Yeah, have you seen that? I was in this, my eyes go white. Oh yeah, that's great. And then I draw and then people think that's what hell is. Straight from the soul. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Yeah, it is pretty cool. I like to see these sometimes. I like to see these paintings. Yeah. Yeah, they're good, but. They're in the room that they're in. It's cursed. Oh shit. Yeah.

Is it in this house right now? It's in this house, but it's like, it's that doorway over there with the bones all around it. Oh my God. I watched a horror movie. It was about a couple with their kid, and they were in a house, and they could wish for anything, and it would come true. Oh cool. But they only could do it inside the house. Oh no. Yeah so they

asked for the Mona Lisa. Yeah. They asked for the Mona Lisa. It was gonna take trying to take it out it would like disappear or something. What would happen to it? I can't remember. Yeah, it just turned into like dust and flew off. What's the point of having all that money if you can't spend that's the- I just invite people over to impress them. Yeah. Like you get to freaking hang the Mona Lisa. That is so funny to invite someone. Yeah. You get the freaking hang them on Lisa. That is so funny to invite. Oh, you get Amazon, right? They deliver it right to your door.

And then you don't have to walk outside. You can use that money. Wait, right? And I guess they wish for money in your debit card. And then you purchase things. That's it. And then you bring it to your crib. I wonder if the item is gonna turn to dust.

Yeah. Oh yeah. Like the house probably. I think you'll check your balance on your laptop and it says you got a million dollars and then as soon as you check it at the bank, it's gone. Yeah, can you purchase a car from home? Yeah, but the car has to be in your house. Yeah.

They're not wishing, they're not ordering. I feel like it's pretty just like you have a magic wall where your door ends. What would you, if you had it like. Why is that a horror movie? Because it gets pretty wild. Yeah, it gets crazy. But if you could just summon something that you couldn't take out of the house, what would you summon?

What would you do? Okay, you guys go first. I gotta think. I feel like all kinds of food, like really, like my wife's kind of a foodie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't like these fancy restaurants. Yeah. But like giant couches and beds, it's and TVs nice hammock

Why would I want to leave my house anyway, that's true. I'd wish for all of Michael Phelps is metal Now they're my house Man, I don't know. I have no idea what I would wish for to be honest. Yeah, I mean that does put you on the spot Yeah, honestly, I mean, I don't know. I don't wanna be this guy, but I kinda don't really, I don't really have anything that I'd like, I would wish for outside of what I have right now. Right. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, but like, why not a better version

of what you have right now? I like what I got. Yeah, get a little one, get a little better one. Just picture whatever you're gonna eat tonight. You know what? Probably with a little bit of gold on top. If those are PlayStation 6 or why not? Yeah.

Yeah, there you go. Yeah, because they don't have anything more than that. I'm pretty okay with a five right now. Yeah. Well, that's the horror of it though. You get the PlayStation 6, there's no games for it. Dang. That would be wild.

I mean, but you can always play it. Unless they do this weird thing where you can't play the other games after, that would be cool. Yeah. But you can always play unless they do this weird thing where you can't play the other games after that would be Yeah, I wait anytime. I've gotten a new system I'm always like oh my old games will still work never played them again, right? And is that the case you can always and I think so you can't know you for the PlayStation Yeah, I think you can play the father sorry the four is the threes, but not like that I don't believe you can play the twos or one. It's just it's just too far gone, right? Yeah, it's still like I'm absolutely a video game

Novice I don't know anything about it This lower cross still of them pointy boobs Yeah, is it still the peers broadening the James Bond the resolution is much better now But like is it still on discs or do you just download them? Oh, you just download. Yeah, download now. But you can do the disc one, but like, I don't know. The disc one is, I think it's better.

It saves more space for you. But if you have to do the download one, you can only do like a few games at a time. Yeah, but. But if you do the disc, the disc is a good way to like, you know, give your grandson a Christmas present. Well, you can always just take out the hard drive. Yeah, well, like, for my grandson?

Yeah, well, your grandson would understand the hard drive. Yeah, but I'm the one checking it out. In this scenario, what's your grandson, what does he do? What is he like, what's my little rascal grandson? If you're speaking of grandson, honestly, giving him the hard drive might feel like a disc to him eventually Oh, yeah, it'll be so like what is it? I mean the way I was helping my parents move this weekend and my dad He I found a blu-ray player

My dad was trying to keep the blu-ray player and my little brother picked up the blu-ray pair player and was like dad What is this? Yeah that blew my brain apart like I was like wait you don't know what a blue ray player is everybody has that moment where I was like yo this is crazy yeah that's it like cuz we were like moving a whole bunch of junk and then he's like yeah I've always seen this blue ray disc thing but I just don't know where I went into I'm like this is a blue ray player Nathan yeah and he's just looking at it the way he picked it up Look like you seen like the Ten Commandments Like it's not a bit it's kind of like a PlayStation yeah

Yeah, you can't play anything What was it not in use or it's done to use at all. Yeah, my dad, I don't know, he just has a bunch of junk in the back. I never had a Blu-ray player. No, me neither. Blu-ray was like a real short-lived moment. Well, because streaming came along. Pretty quickly.

Yeah, and unless you're like a collector who's like, I gotta have the Blu-ray of Ray, that's probably confusing. I wonder who sold Blu-ray to everyone. Who's on first-hand. Yeah. Like who sold Blu-ray? Like Blu-ray of Rey. That's probably confusing. I wonder who sold Blu-ray to everybody. Who's on first go. Yeah. Like who sold Blu-ray? Like Blu-ray was like.

I think it was for. Best Buy, Amazon. Yeah. And it was like, it was for yeah, movie, you know. Yeah. Fancy, because you could hear commentary, you could watch deleted scenes and stuff that was more in detail than DVD.

Because when DVDs came out in the early 2000s, that's when people started building collections of movies. Yes. I feel like a lot of people who had those collections were like, okay, well, streaming is coming along and I've spent thousands of dollars on the Matrix. Well, yeah. When I go to thrift stores, one of the movies that I see over and over again on DVD is Speed.

Yeah. Like that seems like it was a video that a lot of people were like, this has gotta be part of my collection. Yeah, it rules. It does rule. Yeah. Have you guys seen the sequel?

No. No, Speed 2 Cruise Control. Yeah, it's,'s and it is so boring Don't you gonna say it's great? Yeah. No, no, no, no, it's very bad But yeah, it's a Sandra Bullock still in it. Yeah, is it a boat is um, what's his name again? The guy from the Matrix Nia I was he's not in it. He's not in it. I'm the sequel Say his name. I can't remember his name now, but like it's neo Hello, cuz I'm Africa Deborah No, he's not in it, not in the sequel. Say his name. I can't remember his name now. But like, it's Neo. Ella Kazam, Abra Kadabra, Keanu Reeves.

Keanu Reeves, yeah, there we go, there we go. Yeah, I... That would be a good like, and, Keanu Reeves, is this your card? Good magician line. Yeah, Keanu Reeves everybody. Keanu. Yeah, Keanu Reeves everybody. Keanu.

So, did you finish accounting school? You an accountant? I was. You were? Yeah, I used to work in a bank. I was just here. It's like you're too Nigerian for this place. You're making too much money.

What's it like working in a bank? I've always wondered what it's like to work in a bank. You work in the front or the back. Yeah, I started off at the front and I used to be a teller and then eventually I became a financial advisor. But the long story short, it is very stressful, you know, because you're dealing with other people's money. You're dealing with a bunch of deadlines.

You're dealing with like, you know, handling people's money. When you're doing that, you know, respect goes out the window very quickly. Right. yes. Because it's like a different place, because a lot of places where you go to, people are looking to spend their money, and this money they already have. So sometimes in positions where I have to be

the standing guard between an individual and their funds. Things get wild very fast, man. Yeah. And I didn't even go to accounting, because I was just like, I didn't want to have to deal. It just felt like it was going to be really, really boring. And I went into the banking sector because I can actually talk to people. And I felt more of me in a certain way. This is kind of where I was trying to find my footing in terms of a career. So I went into banking instead because I'm like, okay, I get to at least chat with people

all the time. And that's what I really liked about my job, providing financial advice, banking everyday stuff, and meeting with different people and talking to people every day. But outside of that it was really stressful What's the biggest number you ever saw? Oh man No, there's some rich people out there. Yeah, someone pulled up with a check for over a million dollars Wow, yeah, all every place like we don't accept checks. I mean, it looks good. It looks like a lot of money. But usually you don't see that, though. But a check was insane.

And I'm like, it was for business, though. Sure. Yeah. And I'm just like, this is nuts. Like, do we what do you even do with this? Oh, I'm like, yeah, it's going to be a hoax for 30. But yeah. Oh, yeah. You can't just cash it. There is. He's like, what do you mean? We don't have enough. The bank just doesn't have enough.

I'll have to yeah other banks I was in and I'm like dyslexic too. So like those numbers she should throw me off sometimes It's for sure. It's like a bunch of numbers I had to like triple or triple check them because sometimes my eyes will switch something. I missed some mistakes I remember the first mistake I made at the bank and I never let on a lot of people that that I have dyslexia Cuz I don't want it to affect my job. It's fine, I don't care, I'm not going back. You know, but yeah, I accidentally deposited $10,000

in someone's bank account instead of a hundred. Right. Yeah, and then I didn't know what to do and I was trying to sort it out. I just started at the job and I'm like, bro, I'm about to get fired. And then I had to go to my manager and I'm like, hey, listen, man, I put this money in get fired Yeah, and then I have to go my manager and I hate listen, man

I yeah put this money in someone's bank account and then he just laughs out this happens all the time We can fix it before they even see anything. Yeah. Yeah, they're gonna be thrilled. So don't worry about them They're gonna be happy that this happened. Yeah, but like just catching it because what is the person? Yeah, what happens if I see it and I spend it? Oh,, that's happened before. This has happened at the ATM. Some dude deposited something around like four, $300. But then for some reason, the machine read it as like 40. But this is such a rare situation because a lot of times when it reads that amount,

like it wouldn't clear that amount like right away. But for some reason, I don't know, there's some glitch in the system. This guy had access to like 40,000 upwards of $40,000. But then again, back office, it's a check. So it still has to go through like verification and stuff like the physical check. And there are people who are supposed to look at this

and catch this before it happens. But for some reason, two weeks went by, nothing happens. And I guess this guy just sat on it, didn't say nothing, but then like a couple of weeks starts pulling out the money. It's pull it pulls out a bunch of the money. Right. And then all of a sudden that became money that he owed. Oh, okay.

So it's not his money. And then, um, yeah, but I feel like it should be. No, bro. It was crazy. Cause like, I was the one that actually helped him out on the last bank draft. And I saw something fishy about it and I brought my manager and I was like, hey, listen, man, obviously I had no reason to not give him that money because it's already in as a bank account and he has access to it.

And I was like, yo, this looks kind of weird because based on the transaction, you can tell pretty quickly if a transaction is normal or not when you're looking at someone's bank statements. Like you can see everything. And then like you can kind of see patterns, you can see trends and all that kind of stuff. So when you see something like this. I wonder what trend my account has. You look at some bank accounts, you can tell what's happening real fast. I don't know, this looks kind of weird, but like, okay, he put this check in, it's been

over two weeks. Back office should have caught this already by now. And I have no other reason to know to like, it's not on hold. I can't hold it now. It's already been released for two weeks. Right. And then I just go to my manager and I'm like, hey, listen, this is what's going on. He looks at it and he's like, we have no reason not to release this money. I give him a bank draft, sign, give him a bank draft, goes on this way, comes back at the end of the week crying in my branch manager's office.

He's like, how could you guys have done this? Why would you give me the money? I'm like, sir, but you spent the money though. Yeah, like you know you didn't just deposit. He bought jewelry, he went to the car dealership, he went to the casino. He spent 40,000. He spent all the great places to invest your money.

Yeah, it's crazy. He spent it in, I think he went to the strip club too, because I remember looking at the transactions. Dude, he went off. Don't look private. Those are private things. Don't look at that. He went off, man.

And I'm like, the way he was taking the money out looked, like the check alone fine, but the way he was rejoining already raised a red flag to me. So I was like, the way he got this money is very questionable, but I got no reasons to not let it go. And we release the money, it comes back, he's crying and everything,

and then it just turned naturally right to a loan that's collecting interest right now. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay, well that's a nice end of the story. Yeah. The bank went. That's crazy, man.

It always do. Yo. Whenever I'm at a bank, usually to add to my yearly RSP, very little. But all the offices don't have any personal artifacts in it. Is that the same where you were? Every office is exactly the same. Because we have a rotating, a lot of people don't have like the same office because like for me, I would just take out,

if I had a client coming in, I would just, you know, pop in one of the offices and do my clients because all of our work is on our laptop. We don't need a physical place. Sure. Yeah, to be working out of. That's a good question, Graham. I would put up just a poster every time

just with that blue stuff that you could pull down. Just the Lamborghini, good gosh. Sure. Just the branch manager though, has an office. Because then they stay there the whole time. Yeah, but I would have a rotating spot. I'd add, you know, I'd have- Add something.

Yeah, Uncle Pop or something like that. Yeah, you're a young child. The back is soulless though. It is like, it's just, like you said,, yeah. The bag is soulless though. It is like, it's just like you said, like working like that is real soulless. You know, there was moments where I would sit at that desk and you would wish you were doing inventory informant. You know what, the bag was still much better than that because I was talking to people. I was by myself. Did you ever robbery? So many. No, really? Like it's seriously? Well, like not so many no really good like it's seriously well like not so many

But I'll say like while I was there. There was about eight or ten robberies really yeah Wow Are they just like a note? No? Yeah, this movie's making see like you come what I've done like you like It's almost impossible to steal money from the vault without an inside person helping you right it's impossible And how much can you get with a note? How much you can get, you can get quite a bit. But the thing is, it's like an annoying amount where when we push a button, it releases like $5, like one $5 bill at a time. So like, and you know, it's super annoying.

It's like, hurry up. It's like, listen, I'm going as fast as I can. It's like, meh, meh, meh. It's like, come on, hurry. Just have a seat. We'll be right there. And do they get away? No, not often.

Like do they get caught immediately or they get caught later? They get caught like, I don't know, it depends. I haven't followed, I only followed up on two because this one was the most unique one because he came to our bank. The funny, you know what's crazy? Like the guy that robbed a different branch, like he had come in and he like, okay, so a teller was helping him

and he slid a note to them, right? And then he had robbed them, but I didn't know what was going on because they do it very quietly. And then there's like a teller here and there's another desk over here. And then he like walked by my spot after he had robbed somebody But I wasn't paying too much attention to it because the person after it were done just went into the back

Now I look back at Emma. Okay, I understand but like the guy stopped said what's up to me. He seemed so friendly, dude Like I was like, yeah. Yeah, you have a great day. I'm like, how's your house your day going? Like I you know the little quick check. Yeah, I'm talking to people chatting this guy up a little bit This guy's not even a damn rush. That's the thing that really blew me off Anti-hero Like you did all this shit is he chatted up a little bit I couldn't even tell anything at all walks off and then next to you know My manager is like we have to shut the scene now. We've just been robbed

I'm not where who and then I'm like trying to go to the back and say then I have to start answering statements like because They were asking me questions because I actually they talked to people who interact with the individual So to tell it the other tell that you got robbed and then me because I spent so much time talking to it Wasn't like crazy in my but like two three minutes, but sure I'm not getting I just robbed the bank vibe from this guy Yeah, and then they're like, oh he robbed them. I'm like what? No way now. he's not the guy Honestly falling for Well, you left our branch and they went down the street to go rob another one.

Oh, pushing his luck. And then did it all the way down the street. Really? Yeah, it was smart though, because like, I mean, when we shot one down, like no one was assuming that it will be called other places, like, now after that, I think he started calling other spots,

but he just went to the other spot and they just gave him 20, like he probably leaves with like four or 500 bucks. And then if he goes so much. I think you should be allowed to take four or Five hundred bucks from the bank. Yeah That was the most peculiar one, but he got caught he actually had a gun. That's the that's a scary Really? Yeah, they caught him with a gun in North Van, but he wasn't what is it? No, Sean it

I'm robbing you that they usually take that immediately but like He doesn't what he usually would say. This is a robbery, hand me all your cash. Okay. Something quick. I have a gun. Yeah, or even that too. Because when you say here, I have a gun, you know exactly what he needs, you know? You're not getting him a glass of water. Yeah.

Also bring a glass of water. Yeah, yeah. My gun's really dirty, I wanna wash it. You happen to have any sanitizer here? Yeah. I got, this gun has a lot of blood on it. Yeah, yeah. I'm not sure it's germaphobe.

It's different than this. Had to kill somebody for this gun. My cousin also worked in a bank for a while and she got robbed. There was a guy in the ATM, what do you call it? Vestibule? Vestibule? Yeah. Oh, like Jill Goodacre? Why'd you know that?

Well, there's an episode of Friends where Chandler gets stuck in an AD investigation with Jill Goodacre. He was there very early in the morning and she showed up for work because she was the first person there of the day and he approached her and said, I've got a gun, I'm walking in with you so that you can access whatever. Because everything was on a timer. That's a smart guy. Yeah, so like the thing was on a timer. The only thing that wasn't smart is my cousin was able

to recall in perfect detail what he looked like. Oh, shoot. Yeah, the guy was hanging around. How did you guys know it was on a timer? Because that was like information I took out completely. Yeah. The guy who's robbing definitely had information to know when to come on Rob. Yeah. Yeah, he was he got caught But I like bank robbery in a movie. Yeah, I like that because you reminded me. Have you seen hell or high water? Yeah, it's uh, there's they walk in at the start of the day with the employees as well and rob them that way.

Yeah. Yeah, I didn't. I guess like most robbery probably don't involve like showing a gun. No, no. You know, they want to be in and out of that. So it's fat. Have you seen a new one on Netflix called Ambulance? No.

It's dope. I don't know what the guy, I'm really bad with actors I'm like that's one of my weakness. Yeah, no ribs I can't remember check it out on Netflix. It's awesome ambulance and it's like it's oh it actually has like a speed vibe to it Too cuz during an ambulance. Oh, yeah Yeah, it's like a robbery movie meets like like speed. Yeah during the ambulance the whole time and they're just gonna Michael Bay Yeah, yeah, and he's uh, you know, Jake Gyllenhaal and do no wrong. You know It's an amazing movie. I like the Was the one I was thinking of?

Well, I mean the Dark Knight bank robbery is great. Yeah. Yeah, and then the one One where Nick Nolte gets out of jail Yeah, yeah, and then the one Where Nick Nolte gets out of jail And wait, is that the one and then Martin Short is the bank robber Oh pure luck. No, no three fugitives maybe but and he's got the does he he's got the Panty on his face, but it rips. He like shoots to the ceiling and goes all over his, I had to forget. A lot of gags in that one. Oh, that's funny, man.

Uh, there's a good series of bank robbery, uh, scenes in a movie called Place Beyond the Pines, which is, uh, Ryan Gosling. Oh, you love him. Uh, Bradley Cooper. You love him. I love good bank robbery movies. Yeah, it's, and it's cool it's cool because Gosling is like a pro

motorcycle rider. Gotcha. That's part of his getaway. Gotcha, gotcha. Okay, best bank, 25. Oh, the town, of course. The town's amazing, yeah. The town's amazing.

Inside Man. Inside Man, oh, I don't know about that one. I haven't seen that one. I saw it and I, but I watched it. It didn't do much for me, but then I, I've seen it on so many lists that I'm like, maybe I'm wrong.

What was the Bill Murray and Gina Davis? What was it called? Quick Change? Quick Change. Yeah, have you seen Quick Change? No, I have not, I should have checked it out. Dog Day Afternoon? Oh yeah, classic, classic.

Oh, Point Break is great. Oh, so many memories. Oh point break is great There's this guy I seen on Netflix that apparently pulled off one of the biggest like bank robbery heist cameras. I'm terrible with names That's fine But yeah He somehow made his way like he used to be like a med student, and then he like created like fake face or whatever. He would build a whole fake face, and then he successfully pulled off like

over like a hundred bank robberies in his entire career. It was nuts. And he just kept going. Is that how they always catch them, because they have a face. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, go ahead. It was catching them because they get greedy, man.

Because if they stop, they just home free. But then they just keep going for the most part. Yeah. I think out of all the bank robberies that happened, I think the second one I had to know was I had to go. What happens is they freeze the scene. So nobody can leave. No employees can leave.

No, like, you know. So the doors. They lock the doors immediately. And everybody, like even if you're a customer, you got to stay and get statements from everybody. Right. One time there was a bank robbery that happened while I, I just finished my shift and I was rushing to go to a date

and I was in the back and I wasn't even outside. I didn't see anything. And I come outside and they're like, Oh, we just got robbed. I'm like, no. And my manager's trying to lock the door. I'm like, please just let me slip out real fast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I see anything anyways. I was in the back I have nothing to add to this

I gotta be somewhere in 30 minutes. He's like listen you can't go anywhere. I'm like listen to me Yeah, like I've canceled on this day twice. No one's gonna believe I can't make it because my terrible I've canceled on this date twice. No one's gonna believe I can't make it because my back got robbed. This is terrible. That sounds like the lamest excuse. That was at the bank. We got robbed. We got robbed so I had to stay. Well, Dave, what's happening with you? Oh man, okay, so we haven't recorded in weeks.

But I don't want to talk about me. I want to talk about you. Oh, sure. But also I want to talk about me. I want to talk about you. Oh, sure. Let's go. But also I want to talk about Ola. Right on. Because you also did Canada's Got Talent. Yes, sir. Yeah. You didn't you finished like near the you made it to all the finals the end. Semi finals. Semi finals. Yes. Yes. That's amazing. It was fun. Yeah. Who are the judges? Howie. It was fun. Yeah, who are the judges? Um how we Nail official and I don't know official. Yes, and I'm why did I try stratage and then um

What's her name again? The brown chick? I can't remember. No Why why did I ask him names? Yeah, yeah, let's just set me up I'm just kidding. Um, Lily Singh. Oh, yeah. So, Lily Singh. How does it work? Because I know people who have... Who had more cameras that they shoot? You on your special? Geez. They definitely had more on their... So, what do you... Do you show up? Because I know sometimes, like, they book people to show up. So, like, do you show up just to get in line?

Or is that how they choose them at all? That's how they used to do it on, like, American Idol, right? They would be, I think there's always a few people who, like, you know. These are ringers. They get a spot. They don't wait in line. Did you wait in line? No. Nice. Nice. You know, these are ringers. They get a spot. They don't wait in line. Did you wait in line? No

Nice. Nice. Yeah, they had like the they had people who waited in line But they reached out to me because they saw my uh, my crate. Sorry my crave my cbc special Oh, yeah, and then uh, well the episode and um when they reached out to me I honestly thought it was a fake account. Oh, sure. Yeah, because they reached out to me over email And at that time I just quickly checked it. And because this was like the first season back because they'd had one season prior, right. Their page had like, what, like 200 followers at the time. So it felt like it felt like the biggest it felt like a scam. So I just let it that's just Canadian for like a whole month. Yeah.

Yeah. The whole idea last week, I'd love to be on the show, blah, blah, blah. They would like to sit and talk. And I didn't respond to it at all because I'm super scared for like Hackers sure a whole month went by and then they sent a follow-up message and I was like, you know Let me just check the count again. I checked their their Instagram account again. I just point over 20,000 fall out. Okay I'm just like wait what and then I respond. Oh my goodness. Yes, I would love to or whatever But like I almost missed the opportunity because I thought they were like fraudulent sure and they reached out and we sat down we chatted and you know

I gave him a little showcase of what I would be doing on the show and they're like We'd love to see from you and then we're like we'll get back to you and then six months went by oh shit I'm just like, okay Well, I guess who weren't interested and then six months rolled through they're like, hey, do you mind showing us another video? I'm like, sure sent them to another video two months rolled through, they're like, hey, do you mind showing us another video? I'm like, sure. Sent them to another video, two months rolls through. I'm like, all right, I don't know what kind of games we'll play together.

Just see, Kimba hopes up, and that just ghost me. It's so me. But then I get rolled through, say, hey, we'd love to have you here, here, here, this time and that time. I'm like, oh, I'm in? They're like, yep, you're in. I'm like, all right, this has been nice to know., I got a long time ago. But again, um, amazing experience. What do you cuz I've

Friends who have done it. Yeah, how much time do you get on stage is three to two and a two or three minutes? Three minutes. Yeah, and then over the course of a second. Yeah and over the course of a season cuz I Sorry, I I did not watch it. But how many times do you perform? Twice. Twice in the whole season? Yeah, because I did the audition and the audition, not the audition, it's like after everybody's been selected, you go into like your first performance and after, they like, they weed down so many people so fast because there's so many people in it. Because then after my audition round,

I had to have like over a hundred people or something like that. And they're all going through the, no, this is just you're going on stage and some producers like, no, no. Well, no, no, that phase I skipped. That's like, I skipped a certain phase right well people who are just lining up on foot they go through like more of the ringer so with

the way I was brought in I was very fortunate to honestly to have beat a lot of the the decision making process right oh yeah there was like a few other steps before I got to it right and then when I got to it I kind of got the TV spot to even make it to where I started is a victory in itself I was very fortunate to be already beat It's already be there and which is what I found out when I honestly got to set that they did like oh I didn't see you this I like you get my no. He's asked me to be here. Yeah But yeah, it is weird because it's like people even backstage. It's a very competitive vibe and people are actively trying to screw with you.

Yeah. They're very strict on no photos backstage. I had a dude sit down with me jail style, you know, kind of offer me advice is like, I could tell it's your first time. I'm like, yeah, he's like, I've been this a lot of times. And he's like, just take plenty of photos. It's many just you want to save it a moment. Tells me to do this.

I'm literally seconds away from pulling out my phone. And next year, you know, producers comes in, it's like, it is a huge no, no. Do not take any photos, any spoilers. And if you do, you're illegal, you're liable for illegal actions. I look over to the guy, right beside me, and he's like, obviously I'm in take it in secret

I'm like, that's a very big important part. You left out. I'm one of the producers Yeah, man, but it was a cool amazing experience nonetheless, um, did you get any X's? No, I did I got all yeses man and it was super scary because I've never had a follow like such high energy because comics we talk about high energy. Yeah. But it's nothing the same as a 40 dance team. Oh yeah, who did you follow?

I followed a 40 group dance team. They had like freaking smoke flying all over the place. They had like mopped the floors and they had confetti everywhere just Walking with a microphone in my hand. Yeah It was wild bad are the audiences cuz I mean when you see it on TV the audiences are hot They were fine, dude. Like they actually they were great. I'm not gonna lie They they were amazing. The audience was cool. And I don't even know how much spoiler I got I alerts I can give I'm okay. I'm gonna say oh, but yeah, this hasn't aired yet. This hasn't aired yet. Oh, no, it's aired already Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just two years ago, but like the semis was wild

Yeah, those spoilers for the semis was why? Man, the kovac over thing happened man. Oh McCrawn almost ruined it. Oh Yeah, yeah. Yeah happened man all my chrono was ruined it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah it was like 20 people in the whole theater that's not like a thousand people wow yeah man I walked in there like Mike walked in there, and they asked me how I felt. I'm like, this is the best open mic I've ever done in my life. Nice. And how we thought you were funny?

You know what? He said I didn't have the same connection with the audience that I did in the first round. Shit. With those 20 people? Yeah. I was like, hey, man, you're right. You're right, man. How I seemed to like my stuff, man,

but I don't know what it was. It was obviously super hard to tell jokes in such a setting, man. Regardless, I got them laughing. I got my family laughing. It was an amazing time. Regardless, I had a lot of fun being there. That's awesome.

Obviously, granted, at the time, it was a comic. I'm kicking my butt. I's awesome. Okay, like obviously like granted at the time as a comic I'm like kicking my butt. I'm like damn that kind of sucked. I wish there was more people here, but I wish I'm a crumb wasn't here or whatever, but Regardless the whole experience was just super amazing. Howie was super like he as a comic He understood what I was going through right and then he that came around exactly what he said But he said some things that really cheered me up especially being being on stage. So, Howie, shout out to Howie. I really appreciate it. Shout out to Howie.

Yeah, let's hear it for Howie, everyone. Sorry. Yeah. Okay. Just wanted to let the applause die down at home. I got contacted by America's Got Talent. Right on. Because they had found a YouTube video

And they did it at the hero show, and the video tape meant it was up online. And so the person called saying, like, are you a prop comic? Because we're looking for a prop comic.

I bet you it hasn't changed that much because it's a lot of old city, lots of old buildings, stayed in the tiniest little Airbnb, but it doesn't matter because when you walk out of your house, hey, there's Paris. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like that horror movie where everything disappears as soon as you, But it doesn't matter because when you walk out of your house, hey, there's Paris. Yeah

horror movie where everything disappears as soon as you I thought you're trying to talk about like the tunnels underneath The catagons. Yeah, isn't there a new Paris tunnels movie or movie? Yeah. Yeah, is it a shark shark? Yeah You seen it? I just say I was like no, I'm not doing this. Oh, you should. It's great. Yeah, there's no way that's good. It's so well, because it happens. It happens very close to the time that we're living in now, because it's about the France or Paris getting the the waterway, whatever the send ready for the swimming of the Olympic. Oh, wow.

And, you know, the mayor is told and pulls a real jaws, like the Olympics is coming here, like don't, yeah, I'm not gonna ruin my career because of this, oh, but those sharks. Uh-huh. Were there really sharks in the sewers there? No, but in the movie, yes. Oh, well, so what are you saying right now?

This is a documentary? That sounds so real. But it was funny that it was that up to date. That it was... But they didn't use the word Olympics? They said that it was... The World Games? The Games are coming here.

Why wouldn't they be able to use the word Olympics? They're very litigious, the Olympics. When Vancouver had the Olympics, there was like a Place that had been a pizza place a Greek pizza place for like 20 years that yeah I had like was called Olympic pizza and then as soon as Vancouver got the Olympics they were like They were told they had to change their name. So Yeah, I imagine they would protect that if there were sharks involved. Oh yes, absolutely. And, but like, because yeah, Paris is hosting the games.

There's, I noticed a couple places that had obviously like put up a banner like, you know, way to go or you know, things that are kind of sports adjacent. Yeah. You know, the athletic cafe. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like you'll get a lot of like products, we'll do promotional things this summer that aren't,

that are like, they don't say Olympics on them, but like, gotta support Canada this time of year. Yeah. And the mascot for the games, have you seen the mascot? No. Look up a picture of it and see if you can guess what the mascot is. I need to give a note of the mascot for the games. Have you seen the mascot? No. Look up a picture of it and see if you can guess what the mascot is. I didn't even know the mascot for the Olympics.

Now, yeah, every town has a mascot for the Olympics. Ours here was a trio. Yeah, we had Quachie. We had Migo. And Mira. There's Olympic the mascot. Oh, okay, this is a red triangle. Red triangle.

My guess right out of the gates was that it was like a play on the Eiffel Tower. That was kind of- And it's called the Friege. The Friege. And it's, what do you think this is? What is this based on? It's based, it's AI.

It's a crypto, it's a piece of Bitcoin. I love how they made that inclusive somehow with the leg. Well, it's the Olympics and the Paralympics. Oh wow, that's their shot at Paralympics. Just that one leg over there. Yeah. It's an old French hat. Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Those are like ear flaps. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. Classic SNL sketch. I know that hat. Yeah, we all know that hat.

Oh boy. Looking at these old ones. No, I am happy with my cookies. Do you, oh, did you remember any of these guys? I remember Vancouver. There we are. And I remember Atlanta 1996. This guy's name was What Is It? Yeah and there was the the clock was it the no the I what that's Heidi and Howdy. The Calgary Olympic ones. Oh, that beaver, that's gotta be Montreal. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, that's a good beaver. I really like the Sarajevo fox there.

Yeah, he's got sneaky toot. And the Barcelona fox as well, whatever that thing is. Gotta say, these are not good. No, they're not. They're gonna be, you're not. They're going to be. You're going to find a lot of t-shirts with these on them in thrift stores. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Were you in Vancouver for the Olympics? No, because that is exactly what happened. Every thrift store had these like seafoam. Right? Or turquoise. What was the color of them? Oh, I saw the like raincoat. Yeah. They're like, yeah, yeah, sort of like light blue. Yeah. But I still see people wearing them because they were given to volunteers. Yeah. So it's kind of like a flex to be wearing them. So they're, you know, it's Olympic fever. Everybody's, that's all anybody wants to talk about.

Not really. Because France was in the Euro cup. Oh, sure. So you would see, it was very like, almost out of a book, like everybody was gathered around cafes with like the tiniest little screen that's like at the back of the cafe

and going crazy when they won a game and I saw a guy nearly light an awning on fire and in celebration. Yeah, he had like a road flare. Okay, like, okay, you're gonna actually destroy this person's business. But yeah, it was, it was how long were you in long were you in Paris? I was there for a week. Ah. To soak it up and like. Like a local, felt like a local.

I did feel like a local. Did you speak French to anyone? No. Did you have a croissant? I did and I had a baguette. Ah. With gluten? No, sans gluten.

But where, didn't you hear the thing about that the gluten's different in Europe? I know, but I was scared. Yeah, I heard that. I was scared. I've tried it, it's not as bad. Yeah, I'm lactose intolerant and it didn't destroy my stomach as much. Okay I don't know what that milk is different. Yeah, like dairy and stuff. Yeah. Yeah and bread, you know, I do not explain it I yeah, I remember I went to Switzerland and

when grocery shopping and all the Milk is just room temperature. Yeah. Yeah and like I remember as and all the milk is just room temperature. Yeah. I remember as a kid, the milk would have a thing of cream that had settled at the top of it. Oh, in a bag? The bag of milk? Yeah. It was great. I loved it. I went to a museum dedicated to the sewage system in Paris and it's under like underground. There's a whole city that matches the city. So it's a different

streets that are basically exact same as the streets above them. But what what what's undergrad like, can you navigate the streets? Yeah, but they've got the street names. So it's like you'd be looking at a regular map like we got to go to the corner of this and this. If you, who would be? Sewage guys. Oh, the sewage people. Yeah, and they, catacomb people. Yeah, catacomb people.

But also the, the upper, like the main streets, you know, above ground. Yeah. They smell like pee as well. Yeah, they smell the exact same. Yeah, there was a lot more public urination in Paris than you would see here in Canada. Had you ever been before? No. No, no.

Why? Because, I don't know, Ville de France. I have no idea why. It's a big piss town. It is a big piss town. Really? It really smells like piss like that. Well, certain areas, yeah. Oh, man. I mean, honestly honestly what I've heard about France, it, I've heard it doesn't look, like it, it's kind of dirty, the one I've heard.

Yeah. I didn't find it to be all that dirty. It's just old. Yeah, it's old. It's very like, very old buildings and, yeah, and smoking, still very much on the menu. Oh, cool. Yeah, it's still a big much on the menu. Oh, cool. Yeah, it's still a big smoking city.

Geez. Yeah. I don't know, all these things you're telling me does not make me wanna know that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. Sewage Museum and smoking. Yeah. David warned me about the fact

that you're gonna see a lot of testicles on dogs and men, did that deliver? Holy cow. Oh, man. They don't neuter over there. Wow. Yeah. So we like. Makes sense.

Yeah. It seemed like a romance. I forget the dogs. A romance? It's the city of love, man. That's like contradictory. That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's contradictory. The city of love and the one thing I love, dog balls. Why would we stop them from loving, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And went to, like, there was a Moulin Rouge and we decided, because it's so expensive, we went to another place that was like a cabaret. It was all in French.

There was a lot of jokes in it. But I was like, I know that's a joke. Like, I know that's, or that's something that people only here would know. And then they'd sing a song. But like were locals there or was it with a crowd? I think it was tourists. I think it was mostly locals. The people who were standing next to me were from America.

But a stand up cabaret. Yeah. A stand up cabaret. Oh, no. Like people who paid a lot for their tickets, they got to sit on a table, but everybody else had to stand. Oh, your back must have been hurting. Oh, I was wearing Hokas. Oh sure. Shout out to Hokas.

That's a comfortable shoe. Big bust. Yeah. Yeah. I think they look kind of Frankenstein-y. No. They look so handsome. You know what?

Those shoes look, for me, I think they look terrible with pants. I have tried all pants and I've been trying to, I love I am trying And I've been trying to I love them so much I've been trying to rock them in my everyday life and nothing I put on me at least they don't look nice to me But I love them so much. Yeah, I wear them still all the time with shorts only Yeah, but it's just not a pant. But I have I see what you're saying. Yeah, I got black ones so that maybe they could me too I got black ones so that maybe they could. Me too. Yeah.

Me too. I got my foot running. I couldn't believe how great they were and how comfy they were just to stand around in. Yeah. And I tried to like just bring into my everyday life and it just didn't happen. I wanna try some of these hokas.

They're amazing, man. Because I don't, but my thing is I don't, I don't find regular shoes uncomfortable. So I'm like, maybe this will change my perspective. Yeah. Maybe I'm missing something. Yeah, you're missing something. You're missing a lot.

They're very cozy. You have like a memory foam pillow? I can't remember. You ever use one of those? Nice. Oh, geez. Yeah, I got them, like I was trying on shoes in the store. There was varying degrees of comfortability

when I put those on. Oh, Jesus Christ. Right, yeah. It was like a fly. Did you do a big, like, take to the camera when you tried the, ooh, God. Humming, humming, humming. Abracadabra.

Um, but yeah, I loved it there. Did you do art museums? I went to one called the Pompidou. Yeah, the Centre-Région Pompidou. Yes. And we had pipes on the outside. Yeah, all the pipes everywhere. What's in there?

Just like a lot of modern art. Oh not so much The classics you have to go to another you know I guess the loop the loop or the music they'll say yes You speak French no Nice stuff. Yeah, I'm pretty good. No, I speak. Oh you can speak I mean I found and somebody told me this going into it like first of all No tipping love it. What love it. No tipping. Oh, I love it. Yeah, it's and the but and the servers It's very bare-bones like they come over What do you want bring it to you next time you see them as with the check? Yeah, there's no how are you first?

Yeah, yeah, and what are you guys doing tonight or any of that kind of stuff? But I found- I like your shirt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when, because the thing they say famously is when Americans are abroad, they try to put Canadian flag on their backpack or whatever. But my experience was, every single time,

they would say, are you from America? And we'd say Canada and they'd go, Canada. That was all the reaction you got. Yeah, Canada. They weren't like, oh, I love Canada. No, no, no. There was, we got one. Oh, I'm so glad you're not from America.

They're the worst. We love you. We had to be very careful because we thought you were from America So we were being a little bit shy, but now that we know you're from Canada. Oh boy. We're gonna give you the good service We were holding out on you because we thought you were maybe from America. Yeah, you said Canada Some free food Yeah, it was expected more.

There was one Uber driver that went nuts for it because he'd spent time in Montreal, but everybody else was just like, Canada, like they'd never heard the name before kind of thing, which is fine. But yeah, it was, it's like when they're like that everywhere. It's like when someone hears like, you're like, are you Australian?

And they're like, no, I'm from New Zealand. Okay. Yeah, New Zealand. Yeah, all right. Yeah, I went to that museum. I went to one that was a cinema museum with a- Well, you love French cinema. I love it, but there was a big James Cameron exhibit.

Oh, okay. the best French director. Yeah. And it was, it was great. So there's like, sketches and like little models that they used in his movies. Yeah. And then you're like, yeah, this guy, he's got the best track record of any director. It is cool. And like, I remember I went to Scotland once and there was a museum, just had like a Star Wars exhibit and like the original art from Star Wars, which I realized was like, oh, this is just something that tours different museums around the world. Yeah. And I happen to be here at the same time as it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But this is not like a Scottish thing. Yeah. But this is not like a Scottish thing. Yeah, and this was, it was fun because he, like a lot of stuff in his early career, he would do like, he's a great illustrator. And so he would send, he would like draw the covers of like monster books, like cheap monster books, or like Conan. Over a living?

Yeah, yeah, like Conan the Barbarian that kind of stuff. But he would frequently hate what he did and ask if they could take his name off of it. And he directed his first film was called Piranha 2. And he, when it was finished, he's like, can we take my name off of it? And is he from America? He's from Canada.

Canada. Canada. Piranha 2? He set me up. Canada. Canada. Paranapoo? They set me up. Yeah, they set me up a bit. Do they have any Avatar stuff? You bet they did. They have Terminator 2? Yep.

Avatar like the blue people? Yeah. Yep. All right. Do you like those? Love it. I saw it in Singapore. They had like a exhibit.

I can't remember. It's this museum. They had like a bunch of plants in there is a It's this museum. Oh, they had like a bunch of plants in there like an indoor Plant museum and they show different sorts of plants around the world and everything But then they turned the whole museum to like avatar themed. Well, look at us. We love a museum We're a bunch of art freaks terrible with names man. Like I just I just didn't I don't know how I go to places. Did you see both avatars? Yeah Yeah, they're great. I didn't like the first one. Love the second one. That's wild. I was okay about the second one I loved it. The first one I got it on Blu-ray It's hard to tell with that movie though, it could just be regular DVD Oh, man, every time I think of avatar it like I love the movie

But it got ruined for me cuz I my first date was on the avatar in theaters Mmm, and it's the one that you're almost late for because of the bank rubber. No, not that one. Okay First date ever Wow. Yeah movie theaters ruined because I lied to my mom. I was going to church and I wasn't oh Yeah, my mom found out because going to church and I wasn't. Oh, yeah. Yeah. My mom found out because for Michael, he has one movie theater. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. My mom came and grabbed me out of the movie theater. Oh, it's crazy. Wow. Forever. Mom. Yeah. You've had to move. Yep. No, I didn't. I went to the same school with that chick for four more years. I never spoke to her after that. Really? She, she tried to talk to me. I was just too embarrassed to respond.

Yeah, it was funny. My mom came through. Well, that's on you. Yeah, it was definitely on me. I messed up completely. My mom came to church and then she was looking for me. She said, we were supposed to do like an all night use thing. And it was the first time I've gone out of this

and left my basketball at home. And then I don't know what it was, but my mom, she had this intuition. And this is when I believe in God because God definitely ratted me out that night. Yeah. She brought my basketball back to church and they're like, oh, we haven't seen all of it, which is very peculiar for me because I'm very loud.

If I'm there, people are going to know. Yeah. Immediately. My mom got into church, looked across the movie theater, walked straight to the movie theater, went to the desk person and was like, Hey, have you seen a black kid? And unfortunately there were so few black kids that this guy, like, first of all, I'm trying to, I'm like, I didn't even think back to it. I'm like, this guy just marched this woman.

He doesn't know straight to me. Right. Even ask her. I'm like, she's like, he's probably thinking chances are the only blanket. This got to be his mom. Right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah yeah open the door

and all i could hear was my mom screamed my name in like the most authoritative voice she says my full name and i'm just thinking what is happening right now yeah full theaters blue people on the screen eating popcorn reading glasses and everything light streams down straight the middle and i just i just hear my mother's name i'm yelling my name from the back of the theater. And what's your whole name? The Olawomi, Samuel Wubaraknada. Okay. And were you like,

I think she's talking about someone else. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny, the day I was with though, like she knew me as Ola. So she wasn't really turning around. So she's like, who's this lady? I'm like, I don't know.

She's ruining Avatar. Dude, I don't know, it was like the one time I had to really tested my mom because I'm like there's no way she's gonna come down looking like she's just gonna leave after she checks and then maybe I'll sort this out after. Right. Bro, flashlight. So she took you out.

Did you ever see the rest of the. Oh yeah I got out that's why I got on blue. And did you. I was grounded for so long. Did she take you home or did she make you go play basketball at church? Go play basketball with Jesus now, man. We drove home. It's the most awkwardest ride. Yeah, I believe I know date stay for the rest of the movie. You know what like I got up and I asked her she wanted to ride home Cuz leaving right away. Yeah, I gotta go like right now like at this second. Yeah, I left my winter jacket

It was dead winter to it. She brought the jacket to the school I was just in such haste my friends didn't know about what had happened and I didn't want them to roast me for my entire Life sure. I just told hey, yo, just keep the jacket What the jacket man, yeah I don't need that winter jacket man. Yeah, Avatar has a stain in my mind every time I think about it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's a good first date Avatar. I mean, it was great.

I definitely left an impression on her. That was her first date too. Was it in 3D? Oh yeah, it was in 3D. So your mom was coming right at you. Yeah, man. But yeah, that's Paris. That's Paris. It was amazing. And I hear any was there anyone on the street playing like a squeeze box literally on the train from the airport, somebody playing the squeeze box like the first thing that happened

like kind of accordion all those things. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, Okay, so this is kicking off. Very, you know, my idea of what it is. And I saw I saw people wearing striped shirts. Yep. Striped shirts are a thing in France. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, if you picture a mime. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's legit. Yeah. Yeah. Did they have any? Was there any mimes there? Oh probably

I mean, I didn't see any mimes, but this the squeeze box guy was right up that alley. I saw somebody in a beret Yeah Before you went did you Google did you go on goop to look up French girls style? Do you have a messy bun? Did you put your beard in a messy bun? Yes, I put it in a bun. And oh, that's the other thing is that, like, everybody's not everybody, but most people quite well dressed in a way that when I came back, I'm like, everybody's in, you know, mountain equipment co-op, generally kind of clothing.

Yeah. But yeah, I was, I was that way. I liked a lot. And also people know how to walk very efficiently on the street. So there's people are sticking to the right and there it's, that's how it is. And you're walking fast. And then I came back here. I was like, God damn it.

People, it's like they've never been on a street. It's kind of floating around on the street. People are jousting with baguettes. Oh yeah, I loved it. Just seeing people walk in with a bag of baguettes. Not for real, that's nuts. Yeah. So you're like, yeah, I got it all.

But they don't mind being the stereotype. No, they love it. They embrace it. Yeah. And there's a, you know, Asterix and Obelix. Yeah, Obelix. They've got a theme park over there. Oh, sure. It's their 20th anniversary.

So that's it. Yeah. Wow. Did you go to the Eiffel Tower? Why? Yeah, I walked by. OK, because everybody said, like, it's super long wait to go up. And it's also just it's so crowded there. Yeah. So I like saw it. But, you know, what else would you do with it? You've seen the beach volleyball is right underneath it at the Olympics Oh, really? Yeah, that's fun. Then you want to go up you want to see, you know good screen. Oh, yeah

beautiful people The beach there. Oh, yeah, I guess they make the beach It's the Olympics they can do whatever they want. That's true, but like, I thought beach volleyball had to be on the beach. You can make a beach wherever, just expand your mind. Yeah, use your imagination a lot. The beach is wherever your sand is.

Yeah, exactly, there you go, you got it. You wanna move on to a little bit of business? Yeah, let's do that. Oh, it's been a while since we've had any business, hasn't it been? Oh, it certainly has.

That's what I meant to do, dude.

There was a clip of the US basketball team like practicing and songs playing. And one of them just says, there's other songs in America. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm overhearing it too. Oh yeah, Stephen Curry was the one saying it. Yeah, I'm so done with that song, man.

Like it makes me not like Kendrick. I oh really honestly. I hate the song now Yeah, I like the one that first came out But then like everybody and their aunties and uncles are playing it for every any event like any post Yeah, see anybody wants to make one any event. It was my wedding song Doing that man. They're walking out to that stuff birthday song. Yeah. Anyways, I've overheard it I was at a wedding once where the first song was a hotline bling Hotline bling. Yeah, sure. I was like, I don't think these guys are gonna make Dave yeah, I haven't overheard. What are you over here on? This is a more traditional overheard.

I definitely read that wrong. There was. But it's the best. Yeah. Also, like. That's maybe a more sustainable segment. Yeah, that's true. Things I'm over here.

Although people would every week it would be like espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. Boy, that's everywhere. Holy cow. Here, that's everywhere. Holy cow. Here's what's up. So I, a couple of weeks ago, I took a flight on the local seaplane. Oh yeah. Yeah. Airline.

Harbor air. Yeah. And I was waiting at the harbor and waiting for my flight. And there were two women behind me. And I just heard one of them say to the other Did the dog die and the other one said I'm sure it did that was 2002 it was 22 years ago And how many dog years could have the holy shit I

mean 140 154 15 154, wow. I know people who have very long living cats. I feel like those cats make it to the double digits. Dogs not so much? Well, there was that thing that happened last year that was like the world's oldest dog. Oh my God, what was his name?

And then they, sorry. His name was Bobie Bobby. Bobie, yeah. And he lived for 31 years and 165 days when he died. But apparently that has been called into question. There's no paperwork backing this up. Yes, yeah.

So, but yeah. Why would you lie about that? I know. Ah, you know. Sometimes people lie about the weirdest things. Like, what? My dog's so old. Yeah, like, I was 31 years old.

Holy human years. And then they call Guinness and then the person's like, oh, oh shit. Did you keep track? Wow. He was just here. Yeah, I got pictures of all his photos. Yeah, him eating different funny cakes. But Bobby was putting the date on the back of the photos. This is from Portugal.

Initial certification. How did they certify it without? I don't know, but that seems sitting next to a Guinness world record. So, you know, something, something worked out. Previous record was a female cattle dog named Bluey, Australian cattle dog, who was 29 years old, but that was in 1939 before everyone got woke. Dogs are living, they lived longer before we were woke. Yeah. Why?

I don't know, cause Dave's being silly. I'm being silly. Yeah. Too politically correct to put your dog down would be so wild. So, yeah. Too politically correct to put your dog down would be so wild. Like, yeah, I'm not caving into this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It has feelings.

Yeah, it was first certified, but it was the Portuguese government's pet database certified the age. But I think we're not buying that. I would have to see the dog's birth certificate. Yeah, me too. That's right. Long form.

Yeah, that's how Donald Trump started. I wanna see this dog's birth certificate. I'm glad you got that. I was like, this is a long shot. But you know what? It landed. They attribute, the owners attributed the dog's longevity to a calm, peaceful environment and fresh food

instead of conventional dog food. Oh man, lucky dog, lucky dog. Anyway, what's your overheard? My overheard is- Just give me a pop hit. It's, you know, whenever I heard somebody speaking English, I tuned in. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because it was a lot of French everywhere we go.

I love it. I could listen to somebody talk in a different language all the live long day. It's when people speak English and I'm like, shut up. But this one was a couple of gals walking down the street and the one gal was describing the other gal's outfit and she said it's serving you who boys That's what you want to be doing in Paris, yeah Serving you who boys Just thought that was adorable. Yeah, I like it. I like it. I do have over her though if that's the case. Yes. Yes

Donald Trump's assassination. Now just like, our attempt at assassination. Yeah, I think it was attempt. Yeah, attempt. But I was on a bus recently and I don't know what it was. This dude was just like super mad about something. Like the guy already let him in for free, but then he, I could tell just probably something going on for them. But he was just going off at the bus driver and then a lady gets up and then pays for him,

like taps her car. I don't even know if you can do that. She taps for him or something. And then he starts cussing her out in a different language. And then she was like, I'm bilingual bitch. I know what you say. It was the funniest thing. And like you, he, she, he was speaking Spanish and she starts speaking Spanish right back

to him. I don't know why I could have never seen this coming yeah yeah even at each other in a different language I'm like wow that is beautiful yeah I have no idea what she said but I could tell she was ripping him a new one cuz he went quiet oh yeah that's it like I found you can if you see what a person's talking about you can kind of parse the language of it. Oh, yeah. But

I could tell he was losing. Yeah. He was losing the fight. Now in addition to our overheards, we invite you to send in your overheards to us. If you want to send one in, send in it to sbyatmaximumfund.org. And first one comes from Matt in St. Louis, Missouri. I was at my local Target, and overheard a child in an aisle over yell,

"'I didn't touch it, I only danced at it.'" So, what could it have been? I don't know, is it like a, some like, thing that's musical, I guess? Dance again? I don't know, I don't know what else he could dance at. What do you dance, you could dance at anything, Graham, that's the thing thing that's musical, I guess? Dancing at it? I don't know. I don't know what else he could dance at. You could dance at anything, Graham.

That's the thing. That's true. In order not to just say. It could be a person. It could be a person. I could dance in front of a person. I think you both need to expand your minds a bit. Graham, you're so-

A mirror. So square. Yeah. You're so regimented in what you think you could dance at. Yeah, that's true. Dance at a mirror. You could dance at anything you were. Yeah, basketball, poop. At a wall.

Yeah, at a doctor's office. Yeah, a garbage truck. Yep, poo on the street. Poo on the street, absolutely. Yeah, yep. It's got a little flecks of gold in it. Yeah. Yeah.

This next one comes from Clark with an E in San Diego. This is an over-word. So if you married this guy. Yeah, we would be- You'd be Clark Clark. You'd be Clark Clark. I'd still be Graham Clark and I'm fine with that. I was walking into work a few months ago, and as I was crossing the street,

I noticed a bunch of broken glass and what I can only describe of is bits of broken vehicle. I looked to my left and I saw a guy on his phone leaning against a delivery truck that he had certainly crashed saying, he's acting like I crashed the entire truck. Oh, he crashed the front of it. Yeah. Stop overreacting.

Yeah, exactly. I didn't crash the whole thing. I'll drive it over. There's an Instagram account I follow that is this, it's this like driving simulator, but they basically just crash cars and they're like, here's what a car from the 50s would look like if it crashed. Oh, that'd be so awesome.

And they do it like, here's what happens if you crash a bus into a super car. Here's what happens if- This is the best. What, if we, they take like 10 different cars and see if they can make it over a cliff. This is awesome. And they'll put like a percentage chance

of that the person would survive. This, and where is this? Where can I play this? An Instagram account. Oh, okay, Instagram account. Yeah, okay. What's it called? I don't know.

It's the name of whatever the simulating thing is. Sims. Yeah, it's the Sims. Boy, I. GTA. Yeah, it does feel like that. But I can't. It's just like a series of letters in a row. I guess that's what a word is.

But yeah, that is what a word is. I don't even know how to search my the things I follow. I don't know either man. Okay well. Sorry. Now this next one comes from Alex from New York City. I just overheard someone say they haven't watched the Big Bang Theory yet because they wanted to they just started Young Sheldon and wanted to go chronologically.

That makes sense. Yeah, because the whole time you're like how did Sheldon start? How did he get his Green Lantern t-shirt? I mean I know it all started with the Big Bang. That's right. Did he have a Green Lantern t-shirt? I feel like. Or a Flash. Oh wait a second. Now I'm confused. I haven't seen it in such a long time. Or both. I think it was Green Lantern. I have a feeling it was Green Lantern. Yeah. Yeah, he looks like a flash but for some reason Yeah, and Bazinga is like a very fast sound. Oh man, Bazinga That just the the word that launched a million bits of merch. Yeah It's a I've come across several Bazinga shirts in my travels. Don't you and your brother like give them to each other?

Yeah, we could give them to each other for Christmas or birthdays or give them to each other for Christmas or birthdays or whatever. It's a big thing. You sure. Now here's one. This is just a bonus. This is a bonus overheard. Oh, did we already do three? Yeah, but this is a fun, you know, fun, silly one.

Early Sunday morning, I was driving to buy some pool noodles, which is early Sunday morning for church. Sitting silently in my car on an empty road, I drove by a DQ and heard myself say into the empty car, you know what DQ stands for, don't ya? Long pause, Dan Burgers and Quotbier. Mm-hmm. Pretty good, just a fun little side.

Graham was very low on overheards and now he's given bonus ones. He's got so many in the- Oh my god, I'm swimming in them. Yeah. Yeah. It was only one call out to the- And people?

One of them says to the other, you'll never beat me at rock, paper, scissors, bud. And the other guy very meekly says, well, not you, but other people. And then the first guy says, but like, what's even your percentage?
