But That's the hidden part of the iceberg, right? Like you don't I have a million unstarted ideas. Oh sure. Just like don't see that. I mean, you you obviously do like a lot of things too that you have. disagree with. I think the iceberg is all above the water. Iceberg's famously, entirely above the water. Yeah. I don't get that whole thing That's why there's no T titanic submarine. Right? Yeah. Yeah. It almost works. It works. Some ofbody did a very funny animation online of what the Titanic sinking actually looked like, and it was just black Be you wouldn't see hard Yeah. you wouldn't see anything.

It's good. Thank you. Very relaxing. Yeah. What would you call the genre I mean, at the time I called it like, I don't know. I haven't like produced any music in a like quite a few years now. I had a band in Victoria called Solar sale. Okay. And we were like, I think I don't know, we had some silly. were it was like earnest earnest electro pop. Enest electro pop. Yeah It was really it was really sweet and cute back back when everything felt numinous and the world was fresh. But you like like it was kind of it's digital. Yeah, and it's Dreamy Digital. Yeah, yeah. I mean. I'm kind of h bucket calculator. Yeah. Who's that? That's the what are the craft for? Craftw work? I always mix up craft workk with the fake band from Big Labowski, Audubon. Audubon my head. Those are yeah, but they're very different bands. One of them not real Yeah, one of them not real. Yeah very different And they were had a album or song called Autobon Oh, maybe. I just think when I was in a band, We had a song called Autobon and someone said we should change the name of this. Be for craft work 'Ccause we're only gonna to fight with craft work. Yeah, it's like when I was in a band and we were loving an elevator and they were like, comeome on, Graham, you know that's another person's song. No No, way I wrote it reminds about a long term commitment in an e There's basically lust in an elevator. It's not the same. Yeah, lust that's right.' just change. one word Um, so you u do still play do What do you play? What What are the instruments? I mean, people ask me that a lot. I usually say I play everything better than people who don't but nothing well.. So like I play a little bit of guitar, a little bit of drums, like I I sing what I think didid you really have did you Learn drums Gring up orr did someone just have drums and you took over for the drum or when? No, So my dad works, he's an electrical engineer, but he like he's an electrical engineer who does like music industry stuff. So he does like digital singal processing stuff for digital for like pro audio, like guitar pedals and stuff like that. So always had craziest tech gear, music tech gear at home Like we had he had like a wind controller, which was one of the first like MIDI saxophones. Oh At home when I was l. Yeah I use a wind controller. Elka Seltzer I I don't do Bino, the original wing controller. But yeah, so I grew up like with just like the, you know like an early set of V drums We're just like in our basement. So I kind of like learned to play. I've never played a real drum kit, but I Oh really V drum loud and I'd so loud. Yeah too loud really. some might say Yeah you gotta wear you got to do those baby headset kind of things. There's the crashing, the bad Yeah but the feat drams are great Yeah, they just pads? Yeah, it's just pads. So it just sounds like somebody's like slapping a desk Night Yeah, but yeah ill not unannoying. Yeahah Yeah, that sounds o. Yeah. It's it would be like the preferred if you had a kid. who is starting a band in the basement. That would be like the preferred hundred percent O on Zoom You you can plu it right in USB They haven't solved a low latency problem for Zoom ching now. I always wish that they'd figure that out, but Yeah they still work it on it. Next pandemic, they'll have it all figured out. Really the start of the pandemic they should have had like You know U Kevin you Bank's in one room and W Japer in the other. Who's in the band together Well when all the late night shows did went to no audience. They should have had the band and different Yeah schools Oh Where did Zoom come from so fast when it was That' what we were all saying at the time. It just was nowhere and then it was the Skype Fumble of the century. Yeah. It really is. like S Skype was around for like like ten, fifteen years before Zoom was a thing. I think everybody thought Skype was going to be our Yeah beavior in all this. I went to I was working on a project in like December of twenty nineteen And the client did all their meetings on Zoom and we had never heard of it before. and then two months later, it was The only thing. Yeah, it's crazy. But like How You know what I mean? How did it all of a sudden like was there just one group of people who were like This is the standard now and then everybody just followed suits. I think they were ready with like the business stuff. They were it was like the stuff that all the suits could be like, Oh yeah, they check all these boxes for like security protocols. Ipe was always annoying. Skype was always I likek that little thing when I rang though. It had fun sounds. Yeah. I used Skype exclusively to call in reply all back in the day to try and when they would do color call in episodes. Oh really? Yeah, I would sit all day and just call in over and over and over again because you and then I would never get in. Did you ever No, you never never got on the show. That's a bummer. You can call into our show anytime if you want. I might do that. Yeah You happen to be so annoying. No It's not Sype though. You won't get that satisfying boot Oh yeah. That one's nice. Yeah. And then when you pick up I think that's yeah, maybe that was the problem with the phone ringing because like That's right because Zoom doesn't Zoom you just you meet you're in a waiting room. Yeah. And also Skype, I feel at one point became you had to pay for There's things you could pay you could pay to do Skype two regular phones. Oh really? Like there was like to give you a phone number that people could call Right That was a pay thing. And also it was bought by Microsoft and they're just to loggin into. general. Yeah I just left it out to Fllow. I feel like it feels like that's like when I see Skype, I'm just like, o, Skype, you know, it's just so Geocities or whatever. so geocities. Oh my God. I so stumble upon Now when you got here, I offered you a coffee and you said you had your own coffee and it was in a heated mug. but I assumed that you mant a mug that was insulated and not a mug that is Electric. So did I just assumed that it was an insulator I see little control lights on the side of it. Yeah, it's electric. It's got it the bottom bottom, ten percent of it is battery, computer. and it has three lights to show how charged up it is. Okay. It has a charging coaster. I put it on at home and you can choose warm, hot or piping Oh, really? Yeah But this is a coffee you've got in there now. It's hot coffee, It's hot ess setet to warm. Can you put stupid and you put a coffee in there and have it go piping? Yeah, but it'll it'll pretty much drain the whole battery Heating the thing. Like the battery doesn't last long if you're heating something out from scratch Can you take it to a coffee shop and be like, please plug in my coffee thing becausecause you need a proprietary charger. I've actually done a real bad, which is that there's a little spring, like the little prongs in the bottom of the charger are like two little wires on springs and one of them broke. so I've just shoved tin fooil in there and I'm using that as a conductor right now. This is the science. Yeah. your' dad would be proud. Yeah. ye He's super proud. He always says to me, why can't you do things the easy way? Yeah ys you can't. I can't I wouldn't be. I remember when I was a kid not having the right size battery to like U You know, u or like If my radio needed four batteries I only had three and I would just use a screw or whatever to like just' the metal just has to go the whole way. It doesn't and it wouldn't last long, but it would work. Yeah. Did you lick nine volts? Yeah, I was just gonna say when was the first time you licked a nine? No I would today. That's true. I would today. Did I? Like that's literally how I checked to make sure it's working. Yeah ye It's u M it's a thrill. nothing like it, you know? When do you remember the first time you did it? Oh yeah, I'm sure it was my dad being like, you know, you could look at nine volt and then he saw me do it and he was like, I made hu mistake. And he'd be like't So don't that. we'ret have to hide away the nine volts. Yeah guar pedals, that's I went through so many nine volts. Oh, sure. Yeah, what would I have that would take a nine volt these days You'ret bunch call for the, like I think that's the reason Iven'ticked race in. Even a race car, some sort of miniature race car. O detectors are now double eyes. I be nineow. N'm not sure that my smoke detector doesn't Might just be painted on the ceil. I' to deter pers. Mine goes off at three in the morning or beefs at three in the morning. Oh yeah Change my batteries. that please It says changed o yeah, it does it in English and French. Oh. That's actually exclusive. Changed my battery? Yeah. Oh really think Barley battery low. H Pace peill Oh I already feel like every time I laugh, I have to like pull back from the back. I've got way too percussive of a laugh. Is for the gain on my voice. Don't worry about it. We got a guy to mix the show. Yeah guys. Shout out to the mixer. Shout out to Dave. Dave puts on different glasses when he's mixing. It's like a different guy I put on a visor. I wear a visor, I wear a backwards Kangall That is a cool look. Do they even make a F words Kangle? I'm wondering if Backwardsangle Is that due for comeback now that John Travola is wearing that crazy look at the Kangle? Ohang, please yees Okay, well, b. You know Samuel L Jackson? Yeah, I'm familiar. He used to wear theming of Joey Pay. eighteen important moments in backackwards Kangle history. This is from GQ So this this hat. Oh, it's a yeah, ye. It's a hat with a kangaroo guy on. Okay Yeah, yeah, okay, I understand Um and like people do wear them forward, but this was like the Bab during the twenty ten Olympics. That was the the Canadian Well it was It was roots though was the It was rootes. Yeah. It wasn't it was just stealing their thunder Kangls thunder. But yeah, it's u It was a look. Look at that, Katrina L Medon.a U a time to be alive. It really was. Were you living in Vancouver when that? No, I lived in Victoria Born and raised, Well, born technically, born in Vancouver and then and then shipipped across the water. Yeah, shipp across the water I lived in Bowen Island for a little bit when I was little and then Vancouver Island until I was like in my mid twenties. Okay We went to university there. Yeah.. What was Bowen Island like? or not. I was pretty young so I don't remember it super well. I just remember like I think most of my memories are like fake false memories just sort of implanted by things my parents have told me about the island. Yeah. But like I remember them being like, and I never got the context on why this was a thing that they would tell me all the time, but they'd be like there was only one cop. So if the cop was on one side of the island doing a speed trap, you could do Anything. Yeah, it's just a sign that flips. Law, Lawless. Yeah. I say that about raabbit season. Yeah They say that about a Taxeda Island. There there's no cops except once a day they come over on a boat And then don't do you guys Italian? Yeah they're Italiant do you guys mess around. It's a couple o'clock. Well when Dave got married on real Re. Oh cool. There was a murderer on the loose. Yeah. Wha. Yeah. No relation Yeah, no related. I married her No, someone murdered their mom Yeah. Oh no twowo days before? Like it was I think a Friday night. No, a Thursday night. He was like hiding on the island. Yeah. They didn't find him. They found him. Oh, what was I so scared? They found him the next morning. o. But like for all we know he showed up everyw He had a little punch You know? Well, the murder I think was on a Thursday night. Our wedding was on the Saturday. So they found him Friday morning. Okay. He did a Thursday night murder. Ther. That's one of the best nights to murder. Yeah. it was during ER. Yeah, M be Mkill. Yeah, Mkill Thursday Um, yes, but it was there does g R have their own cops I don't know. they got a fire haall. Yeah. Yeah, fire haall. They must have they do. They they've got a I drive by it. It's on South Road. South Rad. pololice station Uh, RCMT Or do you think they have their own city cops? Yeah. Okay really please. For people not from Canada, some places have the RSCMP, someome places have their own cops. I don't really know the difference. Yeah they all seem to get along. Yeah, because there's a guy in Surrey that his whole thing he became mayor. Right on to make Si' own police force. Yeah. And so these he's been fought every step of the way. People don't want it. Yeah. But then they do want it because they I know, but you know how it is with And he's back. He's He's back. He's running again, isn't he? He's like a very old. Oh my God. People don't understand how expensive things are. Like it's very everyone complaining is free and everyone goes, this thing should be better. But then like if they were actually the one in charge of having to divvy up the like coffers for the city, they'd be like, maybe R CMP iss a pretty good deal actually. Yeah. And then that way we can open another pool. Yeah completely . If I was mayor, I'd be the mayor that opened so many pools. Yeah. I'd be mayor ribon cutting Do you have like like a messed up personal project thing that you would do if you were a mayor where you'd be like, I'm going gonna ran this one thing. Oh, that's a great. M Oh you just had a city planner on the show. That's right instantin. Right. He's a city planner? No, Hes studied it. Yeah Um, but wow. in Vancouver, this is a very boring one, but They've got all this train track that's unused Yeah that I would be like, let's start it up. We're going to use those train tracks to go east west and down to Graamvele Island and Is remember they had like a little trolley? Yeah, it was a tram, right? Yeah, the tram that goes from science world to don't know Yeah. It used used to getting used to go from Science World down to Graamville Island like around Yeah. Yeah ye. Yeah. And then it's I think the Arbutus Greenway was train track. It was train tracks. And they you tear up that greenway. The original plan was to make it light rail. Yeah. all the way up to like I don't know, forty night. I'd be Johnny Train is what I'd be. How are you, Dave There was a plan for the Vancouver White Cs to build this beautiful gas town stadium But there it was over train tracks. And so they had to get The city, the province and the federal government on board and it was too hard. but I would force it through it. That would be your number one. How would be you, Jess? U this is going to be unpopular, but I think I'd completely ban cars from a lot of areas of town. Yeah, that is unpopular. but a good idea. Yeah Yeah just I read I was radicalized by reading the high cost of free parking like about ten years ago. What's that? It's a book I forget the auth's name. it's a great book about just like actuallyually like we all take parking like how cheap parking is for granted and everyone complains about how expensive parking is in a city. Yeah. But when you actually look at the real estate that parking takes up, it's it is so ridiculously discounted as land compared to every other use of land in the entire country Yeah that it's actually wild that it's not way, way, way, way, way more expensive Yeah. And then when you start thinking about it from that perspective, when you as soon as you start thinking of everything from like an opportunity we're not thinking about things.' right brought We'ers okay. Okay. We want ri everyveryone has to have a Bodega cat. There you see. I think now I'm M. We need to be a city. we need to install more bodegas in this city Yeah. more bodegas more corner stores. I don't know if that's true. There seems to be a big rise of like twenty four hour vape shops that are like brightly lit. Yeah have like we foreign candy. Yeah. it's but like the other day I wanted I was on mainstreet. I wanted a pack of gum and I was like the closest place is like ten blocks away from where I am. So That's wild. Yeah, because there's only, you know, there's only the ones that exist. there's a clump of them at a couple of streets and then the rest of Main street. No Yeah. Yeah, convenience store until you go up to wherever blocks and blocks away. Okay, I have a real one. I have a real one. no dentist's office, no dentist offices in ground floor or walking on main streets, like walk Yeah units that have like street presents. Yeah. no dentist's office. agree for any reason. No dentists office and also one that opened up next to the dentists office in this neighborhood. inssurance company doesn Here's what I o, if we're getting rid of I only want fun restaurants. Yeah. Bring back the rainforest caafe. Yeah, fun restaurants are on the main floor, no dentist's office, no like presentation suitees. No Pentation suites Uh no, no u, you know, fancy luxury car. showhowrooms, everything has to be a fun restaurant. I think oldld spaghetti For and Morph fun. Yeah, not like necessarily Not necessarily fun sit down, but like they have fun food that I can take out. Yeah, no mine also has fun sit down. We feel like we can marry the two concepts. Do you know the Mexican restaurant across the street Yeah is they now have breakfast. They also are selling sushushi. Yeah Always like not a great sign when some store starts doing another thing that's not that st. Well, there's a Mexican Japanese place up the street from as well. Yeah, that's true, but that's there That's their whole jam I think the biggest recession indicator I saw recently was when heirloom, that vegan restaurant was like We're selling meat now It's like o you can't make a go of selling veggies in Vancouver, you're so hosed. Yeah, and it was. peopleople were like so furious about it. And it went on. just a little bitveal. Yeah, just come on. Yeah, taste it. L They bring it to every table on a little tiny little place with our compliment. Yeah just I think lew tasted it on it Um But yeah, the when I was a kid There was a video store in my neighborhood that was really struggling because there was a better video store not far away from it. Yeah. And so they started selling ice cream and then they started selling comic books and then like they kept adding and adding and adding And I I went pizza slic. had pizza slices.ike the place was so crowded with all the shit there was not videos or video games A. What was it called? Wasn't SA'. SASS did really well. I miss renting video games Yeah. I you know what? I miss being eleven. Yeah That's it It was fun though, there was something really exciting about and maybe this is part of the being eleven thing, but like the knowing that you don't have the video game forever now makes it so exciting to play it. because you're like can I'm gonna sit down and absolutely raw dog Mario cart or whatever. Yeah, yeah yeah. I' finishedari Yeah. Yeah. I completed Mario cart. Well you couldn't get like a game that was like a long story or whatever, because you would never get through it. I would never get through it even if I owned that. Yeah Yeah, it's not that kind of a gamer. Yeah You are maybe because you're on a D and D podcast. Yet another venture. Yeah, yeah, yet another thing. I mean, yeah, I guess that's I don't te to finish video games because I get distracted by something else. but D and D. I mean, I guess you never finish a D and D campaign either. you just You stop doing it The Dungeon Master dies. Yeah. Yeah. And past guest Kelly Augmundson was on with you. Yeah, yeah, Kelly's been on a punch on Mission? No story. An arc, I guess an arc sure. We're doing like it's like a long for campaign so So we're on episode like I mean, this is gonna to sound silly compared to what episode you guys are run of this show, but but I think we're on episode hundred and fifty or something like' thisne. What it called? Blackwater D and D. Blackwater D andD. Yeah named after Bater. Yeah. I didn't name it. It's not related The military organization D and D Oh my go. ye, no It's u but yeah, it's like a long fm campaign. So we've been playing like the same characters now for like three years. Who's your character? My character, her name's Miri. she's like a fire Gassie, so she's like it's basically like a child of a Child of a genie kind of thing? No Nasty Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. it's like an Italian Genie wish I wish for Gelata.rants Italian. exxactly. Yeah, I never thought about Ginie's reproductiveacity. I guess would rub them enough Yeah You're supposed to rub the lamb. I rub just get out so I can rub you. And for my third wish I w to get up in them gut I love it up, baby. Yeah, what did Guno do Wait what's the childle of a genie called? Ginnassi. Oh part to be clear, I said Ginos, which is a different word. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. which I won't explain or define. Does this come up a lot on the podcast? Not even once, but we have like kind of a more like serious, like we're very silly, but the show overall has like like a relatively grounded tone to it.. So we have to like restrain bits back It's nice to do a show where the bits can go little moreore extreme. Do listeners Like send in, hey, you should do this. send in like tips, tricks, questions. I mean, people love to tell you when you've gotten the rules of a spell wrong. because ye it's all pretty like fiddlely and fussy. like the NDA is like really specific about like, oh, you need these materials or this thing or that thing or whatever. R. And But like doing like playing by the truth is playing by the rules as they're written often makes for very bad entertainment. So yeah, we take a lot of liberties with like Okay, yeah, sure. we're gonna do that without the like, you know, half of a bat's anus that you need to cast the spell. It's so hard to find bat anus We need more Bodegas in the city. They by the half. the half. They're always selling one full anus.ike they're selling like six pack of anuses. I need a half. Yeah, and then a twelve pack of anus fun. they're so much cheaper at Costco What's the deal with that? What's the deal with Anis Buns? What movie had that premise of like Hot dogs are come in a six pack, but the buns com in an eight pack It was the premise of a whole movie. No, but it was a thing like a Steinfeld joke comoming up in like parenthood or something Something of that era might just be parenthood. Let's talk about it. I was watching did you ever see parenthood? Parenthood? I thought that was a TV show. It was. Okay Based on the movie. basased on the novel push by Sapphar No, I've never seen it. It was a Steve Martin vehicle. Oh, okay. Yeah. and a young Ganna read Is see that? Yeahah, he's in it. Joaquin Phoenix is in as well. even younger Joquin Phoenix. Yeah Is it good? It's I think it's probably of its era. Okay. But yeah, I remember being good. He's sure. Steve Martin loveves Steve Martin. I haven' met Steveartin once. What? Yeah. I went to when I lived in Victoria, he came with his like banjo show, which Oh yeah, yeah yeah And u Yeah It was what were they called the step Steep Canyon Rangers, I think. Yeah. Yeah. that rings a bell. Yeah. And they were so good. it was a, you know, incredible concert and he would, you know, yap a little bit in between songs and he's so freaking funny. Yeah. And then afterwards it was really funny because I like hung outside. I was like, maybe he'll come out, maybe he'll come out. I was probably or twenty three at the time, I guess. And and he came out afterwards to go to the bus and I was like, he signed this? And I handed him I had on vinyl Let's getet smallmall. And he was like, I have not seen one of these in a long time. Really? Ae my day. So awesome. Yeah. on the bus, it's It's very funny to think of Steve Martin eating at the ferry Yeah likeike Burger stand. Yeah, what happens if you're Did you have to leave the bus? even though you're I'm sure it like m make everybody leave their cars on the ferry. Oh yeah, because it would have to be on the lower vehicle deck. Yeah. Oh, this is real inside baseball for Yeah. I' sure they l stay on. he's famous. Well also like Yeah, we were all off the bus. just tell the security guard we all got off the bus. Yeah leave Steven there to do. You working banjo. Transport Canada could never Yeah. Yeah, tryed to get that arrow out of his head. Wait, that thing's real razy. yeah, if they pull it out, it'll die. so see it'll leave it in there.orry he's bleaching his hair white. He's actually got dark black hair. do like Hm If you were to go on a big tour Flying or bus what would do like in the North Americas, say What would you rather I feel like bus. Yeah, like bus feels like good times. Going to the airport More than once is bad. Yeah, that's true. B I feel like all the like road movies, there's like bonding moments and tears and laughter on the bus. Yeah plananes are just like scary or sad or upsetting. And airports. I don't like going to airports so much. And then also like people are going to recognize you and they're gonna to ask you for autographs or try to settle an old score or something like that, you know You stole my idea for a Freebird. How's you? Hey man, I already died in a plane crash Like have you ever been on an airplane with somebody who is famous? You can recognize them, but you're like, ye, I guess you would be traveling wherever to Los Angeles on a on a regular old plane Yeah, I mean I don't know what private jet costs. No but it's got to be a Yeah. and it's also like If you're a Canadian musician, I'm thinking of the Canadian musicians I saw going down to LA. there' Probably not even making money.ike you can probably barely afford this regular flight. That's true. I remember what's her name Carla Guino? Oh Yeah, Baba. Bahaba. She was on a flight I think that was the most famous. TJ Miller was on a flight that I saw. I mean there's a big step down there Did the flight take off or was there a bomb called Steve Ranzzi was on a flight with me. It was Oh nice. Okay. Yeah we flew into of the Twin toowers. Oh shit. Yeah. Wn't happen it if Mark Wahlberg was on that flight. Well he was u so it didn't happen. I would have stopped it. What wass the most famous person you saw on a plane? Or I guess you saw Steve Martin getting into a bus. That's equivalent., Steve Martin getting into a bus. I think that's the most famous person' seeen on a plane. Iote I wrote on a train train car with a bunch of the eagles. Really? When I was in Hawaii with on a family trip one time. Yeah. I didn't know who they were, but my mum like like freaked out. she was like This That's the Eagles. And then she like, they're probably running a follow up hotel California, Hotel, Hawaii This one you can le train car Hawaii Dark Hawaiian train track. They're riding it on the train. ye ye. You gotta ride it on the train. R it's not real. Also I don't think of Hawaii is like Tin town, drone. It was I think it was like a little shutle like it was like a little shuttle train at the like like resort place we were staying at. R. It wasn't a real. I mean, I was a child, so everything was big to me Be now look at the sides of Don Henley Yeah No But that I did get really into Don Henley's solo material after that. actually. What's a Don Henley song? End of the Innocence was the one. You just got that Just that great sort of piano sound that was in those ballads at the time. Yeah Buma, bum, b bigig major chords. Yes. ye. We think he co wrote that with Bruce Hornby. Let's look it up I feel like it be that, right? Be did Hornsby also play that song? No, Hornsby had that's just the way. That the way it is. Yes.. Same energy U It was written by Doon Henley and Bruce Hornesmay. W. Well done Um You know what? the Don Henley solo song I hate is not Sunset Grill All she wants to do is dance H Oh yeah, I the fuck are you talking which is what it did. And Andnie Murphy's girl wants to party all the time. Those are two the two ladies, I know. Musicians are all lying about everything. Yeah ye. it's funny when you listen to a song that's about a made up person or something. They've written this whole, you know, Earl has to die kind of We invented all the characters in the movie or in the song and they don't Like is that not no weird? as a musician to be like, okay, it's a story about Jack and let's say Who wouldn't be sucking on a chi dog with Jack? I guess like what do you try to say? I feel like it's the same with comedy, right? It's like if the song feels like it's trying to say something honest, like the musician has something honest to say about what they're writing, then like it's fine and they can make up characters to do that as long as it's like ostensibly obvious that they're puppeting them. Right. Just like if you're doing a standup joke and you like make up a bunch of stuff, it's like as long as you're Num mean, man, I minds all real up any of it. What is the deal with airplane food What um the u When the Eagles reunited, they had a song called Get overver it. And it is the most It sounds really cool. It's the most like booomers' hating Genx song. That's so funny. And it's got a line that goes, I'd like to take your inner child and kick its little ass, G over it the worst lyer can ever, shut up. I wrote that. It pro to me Um, yeah, I uh uh I don't know the Eagles. never I know the song, Hotel California. And even then I know the first part of that song. I don't know the rest of But you're Steely D person, according to your. Oh yeah. I love Steeie Dan. Yeah. ye. like I never knew who they were until they like beat out somebody at the Grammys that I was like Steeie in. what the hell? Yeah, it was probably the two against Nature win when they that was were their like first album back after all. That was like two thousand Yeah that Yeah. Yeah. They beat out somebody that was like I thought it was a shoe in. Yeah, I forget you they beat Grammys are a fickle bitch. I think that was a crazy Grammy's year. I think it was one where like everyone else was were like, of course Steal againgan. Was it in the hard Rock or did it like beat Metallica or something crazy like that Metallica lost the first ever metedal Grammy to Jethro Tull. Jeth Tull. Yeah, yeah. And then let's just look up them Grammys Can you imagine? Yeah. We've been outmedalled by Jethro Tull. People were also mad about twoishure winning because they were like, it's not a good Steie Dan album, which they're wrong about It is a good. I think it's a great CD Dan al. One album of the year beat out the Marshall Mathers LP a midnight kers is the one I've seen people get And you're the one by Paul Simon, which was probably They love to give the Grammys to an old itch. I love I love Paul Simon. So yeah someim' maybe my favorite artist, but you're the one is not his best album. Yeah. But it's is it one of those things where like they should have given him Grammy for like a really good album and didn't He got a lot of Grammys for other stuff. I feel like you're the one shouldn't have got shouldn't have got the g. the Kid A is the one that I would say like maybe should have beat out Tess Nature, but Test Nature also gave us like I wondered this a little while ago because the term gaslighting has gotten super like everyone knows the word gaslighting. Yeah, right And there's a song on that album called Gaslighting Abby. And Uh I was like That was like kind of before I'd heard the term around and but it's explicitly about like it uses the word gaslighting in that context. Yeah. And like that song came out and then The word started to really pop like I after. I don't know really how related they are. But the word originated from like a movie in the like forties. Yeah. Yeah it was called Gaslight Um, anyyway, you're crazy if you think that's true. Yeah. how it works? Yes lightighting's not real. You made it up. Yeah, that's how it works. You say, you know Allight I'ly coming in. Gasolate me. Make me feel crazy. We aren't even having this conversation I' not boy, I'm more of a love bombing kind of guy U I love you guys. That's how works, right? Yeah. Dave, what's going on with you, man? Oh It's been a wild couple of weeks. We didn't record last week. We had pre taped, but we meant to record last week, but I got sick A little tickle. Yeah. And that tickle COVID no No Just a cold? Just a cold, not just I don' mean you to diminish. It was your gas lightighting, M co It maybe diffic. Maybe you're crazy ye. Yes, that's how it works. I wouldn't know Gaslight to give a bit me in the ass, baby Or did it play you in the ass? I don't think it did. Oh I do' sick from seelling bititeing you in the ass, That's rabies That Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. one of those bat butt holes Vats are the only things that carry rabies in PC. Oh yeah, because we don't have Reckons? Not here. Oh, really? What about A fox Surely there must be a fox with rabies somewhere. Apparently not Don't the bats bite the other mammals? there byite transmitting the rabies to the foxes? I don't know, I don't know I don't know if they're going around trying to give everyone rabies h you can get it just from touching a bat. You don't really need to get a bit bat I almost touch a bat when I was at Sally's u parent's place At night we were like looking at the stars and one flew right by my head. And it was You know what? I wasn't scared? I was exhilarating. You should have if that had happened, you would have I mean, you should have immediately called Someone bad patrol. I guess so. put up the bad sign. Let' to get a man for this. Yeah Anyway, anyone out there in BC touching bats. callall it eight hundred eleven at least, maybe nine hundred and eleven. U what's going on with me is well, Dairy Queen's got their taste of brereakfast menu Yes, are you a dairy quueen person? I used I used to get a Dairy quQeen a lot after. So one of my other weird past lives was I used to be a salsa dancer. What? Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't find that information anyw. I used I trans. I transitioned to G away from it. Salsid dancer But we would get we would always get Dirk Queen after practices. Sure. Yeah, yeah, to destroy any effect. What was the exercise Yes U, I would just get like a like a plain kay, just like a plain white cone. Yeah.

Yeah. be back here in Milwaukee. Exactly. veryair place. Yeah. I love a plain white cone. I love a chocolate dip cone. Oh yeah. The there's three flavored breakfast for dinner for dessert flavors happening at Dairy Queen right now. We've already talked about one of them, which is the Dut blizzard. Right whichich is excellent Its a donoughut being presented as a breakfast? I was just thinking that. Yeah. Is that breakfast food? I think in the fifties it it was a thing that you would have like coffee and a donoughut be like breakfast. Well, it's not just a s. Well, the truth is it's not any kind of food. It's not food. It's not food Be it's not like a dessert. I don't want to it's a treat. It's a treat. It is a treat. Yeah. but But like I think there's a lot of people that eat a donnut every day. I feel like that yeah, that's a regular's they have them in the office break room. Sure. And you're like, I don't know, if you work at Winford Laouder. Yeah, that's the number one reason to work in an office is that and office Christmas party and person's birthday where they maybe have an ice cream cake. Yeah. Yeah, thoseose are the big three That was the only reason to work at it office. Yeah, I can't think of another. Go goossip. That was the other one. Oh yeah, water cooler we're talking about what happened on it. You see last episode of Lost. I don't think they're getting off that island, man I watched my first and last episode of Lost L then. I started with the finale. The most annoying person in the office. They didn't seem lost at all. They seemed like they really found themselves. Yeah The title is ironic because they do find themselves. The o my God, did you guys watch the Grammys last night? I can't believe Paul Syon lost out of stillilly d. Itking be staring Jethro Tld me to go Metallica and possibly make a. Whoever would else would have been around at the time? Jared Fgel. Jared Fogl's metal album Can you believe Von Meters Von Meeter one album of the year. U Is that the first one? What? Who won the first album of the year, Grammy W Was it vomumiter We're going we're going back the soundtrack for train approaching the station. Now when you look up Grammy Award for Alm of the year, you get a picture Bad bunny Oh yeah Yeah. he won it. Oh no, the first was Henry Mancini. Oh o. thenen Frank Sinatra, then Bob Newhart Then Judy Garland, then Von Meer. Did Bob knew her win it more than No yeah, that was the crazy thing. There was a comedy album that won album of the year Yeah That's just like regular album of the year and won it with a comedy album. Yeah the album cray albums No one knew what an album was yet That's true. But then they did they when was record of the year a later thing then? Record just means like a song that's recorded. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Judy Garland, like they hadn't packaged songs into albums until like Judy Garlland won for Judy Ed Carnegie Hall, which is I'm guessing a live album. Yeah. They were like until The Button down Mind of Bob Newhart is a pretty kickass album. Yeah, I say. Yeah Until like. Sergeant Pepper It was all just like a man in his music by Frankin. was there ever another comedy album Well, Von Meeter, the first family is it's all his impression of JFK And he vanished immediately after the assassination. hisis whole act is everything that he built was around JFK. Oh And then as soon as he was killed, that was the end you never heard of Von Meter ever again. Until now. Yeah. Yeah. No pivot, hey Nothing in the bag. Yeah. I got I have like but that's why when you you know, you try over SNL, you have to have a few characters other Kennedys. Yeah exactly. He didn't even have to move that far away. They were dropping like flies back then. U I still think my favorite one of my favorite gags of all time from any TV shows in Clone High when JFK is like bombing down the road in a car and he goes, notothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys. and his car just flips over Do you remember Clone H? I love cllone Hi.. Love Clone Hi. There was a there was a weird Clone H and then there was one called like undergrads or something. Yeah. was that the That was that was really fun. And then there was a third in that. What was that one called? Oh, it was on teletune. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And it was like there was like a guy, a handsome guy who called everyone guy. Yeah, yeah. and he just like And they managed to sleep with everybody. Pe just threw themselves at him. And he was like, Hey guy Yeah. And then there was a freaky guy called Kits, was it? Yeah. Yeah. What was that What was that one? It's we're not I to say it's called undergrads, but it was it called undergrads? and Clone I was the only one of these I watched. This was kind of in a like in a block Okay, good watch. Yep undergrads Um, it was, uh It's such Gelvana. It's just a hard one to Google because the word He the guy. This feels like yeah Yeah, there was the ye undergrads and then there was another one that was some guy Right. Yeah, big dumb guy and a weirdo. ever kn knits. Was he knits He must have been dets. U But there was a third one I can't remember anyyways, that was the Tletune trio on a Friday night. Sure. Yeah. I had pretty limited access to TV when I was a kid, so Is that we have so many hobbies Honestly, yeah. Yeah. but when my my my parents weren't like strict really, but they were like very specific about what we could watch or not watch. So what we allowed to watch. So like, I wasn't allowed to watch Arur Okay, because and how does that make you feel Yeah, maybe angry ye Yeah. I was angry because. No, because my parents didn't like how the characters talked to each other. They thought they like encouraged me to be like mean. how I saw it. I was allowed to watch anything where people were British Oh really? prettyretty much regardless of content. Even if they were mean to each other. Yeah, so I'd watch like Monty Python, which had like full frontal nudity and swearing. Yeah, I wasn't allowed to watch Arthur That's but that's fine. You're coming out ahead in this it's it's worked out great for now Yeah. but yeah, that is why I have something obviously. I'm the wrrong Knitz was the the main character and Gimpy H Yeah, seems to be the other character the other nerd. It was a different dog. Y. You couldn't make undergrades today. I could tell you now. I really couldn't make it The other parts of the breakfast menu Okay, there's a eonomics , but o good. There is a fruity Pbble shake. Oh o. I haven't had that because I've never had a shake from Serry Queen, I don't feel like its you go there for a shake. Yeah So they're for a blizzard. But they have a Cinnamon Tast Crunch dip cone. Sounds good Yeah, it sounds good. Oh no no. D you have it? Guys, I had it and it went dip it They dip it in I love the chocolate dip cone. Yeah They this they dip in so they dip it in like a beige Yeahah And then they take a powder and they Brinkle Cinnamon tooast Crunch powder on it and M mostly cinnamon. I don't know. suugar Yeah sugar. but represents the toast in the crust. It's a little like it's a real toast in it. It's like a little Cylinder like mres Dash sized. Okay, but it has cinnamon toast crrunch on. I think you can buy it at the store and make your own chinnam dairy queen for. I the ice cream. Yeah's true. And got there. You can't get that anywhere. But they it's kind of they did it kind of inconsistently and the parts that were cinnamony, ooh, they were intense. Yeah. and the other parts, not so intense And so just uneven flavor over unven it's a, you know, a C plus wasas it like a user error thing? Like do you think a more attentive server would have Oh, this kind of very attent of Rubbing your shoulders. No yeah. I think I think it was user error because I think you just sprinkled it on the top. If you'd put it on the side and did a little roll, I you could have got more coverage. Yeah Yeah, but you know, it's in shitification. They're telling them not to do that. That's ait Yeah the s crrunch ice cream used to be so much better. Yeah, I would assumeed it would have had a crunchy, crunchy bits. bits of the cereal on it. It's a dip cone, man. You can't can't it putut crunch in. Can't you dip it in something crunchy L you could add French Yeah and then roll it. Yeah, it's not It's not like that. It's not what they do. I don't know I haven't been a jerry queen in a while. Well, you take up some salsa dancing. You'll get those pangs. Yeah. When you did salsa dancing, how many years did you do this for? I did it really, really intensely for about two years. and tapered off after that because it burned out. Was it going to competitions? Yeah, I did a couple of competitions. I didn't like those as much. I would do like performances with like a team that would tour. Yeah, but that was mainly Did the team have a name Celsicalente Nice. Yeah. great. They're from Victoria. Yeah they're like like really unexpectedly good Solsa scene in Victoria or at least there was It's so funny when there's just a scene somewhere and a where it's just like Yeah, we're known for our you know Yeah loot scene. just like Calgary's puppet scene. Yeah. Calgary's got a big puppet Yeah. There Tono's got a big clown scene boy, if you want to smile, clowns, eh? Number one. If you want to smile, if you want to smile, Yeah clowns. clowns. And Salsa Caliente, they they have like matching shirts Yeah, we had mashing shirts. ye. we have I designed their logo. I think they're still using it. I think I think they still have the same website that I built for them back in like two thousand five or with my mess with profession. Dave's going to find it. here we go. a Cali I want to say. I think it was d. com dot com Okaykay. You know what? I'm just going. Oh, there's another Salssa Calliante in Lemington, Ontario. O copycats obviously there it is. There it is And that is the logo I designed. That's a good logo when I was I guess I was like Yeah, I would have been like eighteen. You know what? You gotta love the Ah. Spanish upside down exclamation mark. So you know you're starting this sentence with a scream. Yeah, Al got day. We used to have more of those in English. We used to have a ton of like extra punctuation marks. We did. Yeah, there was like a rhetorical question one. There was aorical question one. The rhetorical question one, I think was I think it was I think it was an upside down question mark at the end of a sentence indicated that you weren't actually donon't answer me this And there was a soft period, which was like A like a period but like chill. Yeah, yeah. a little icle Yeah it. Well because I am a big period user and apparently that's like considered in if you text someone like sure, period, they're like they consider that, you know, aggressive or passive aggressive Huh! That's why I say lall at the end of every sentence I people know that I don't hate them. Or I just follow up the whole thing. littleittle emoji. Yeah I' a big punctuation guy and I've heard that There's certain punctuations that people the AI has taken over. M Dash. M dash. and there's another one What's MDash? MDash is when you do like like a big fat dash. Oh big old It's not punctuation. It's a lifestyle. Yeahit. It kind of does the like I would use it when I was writing at CBC, I would use it a lot. I'd be like Um can't give you any examplees. It's supposed to separate it's supposed to separate and it's basically for an aside, right. You'd be like You'd be like, I'm going to the store, M Dash, a place where you procure groceries M Dash in order to find soup. Right. Okay, which is a really bad sense. Yeah. But I'm going it well. Beautiful. I thought it was really good. I'm going to watch Graham's twenty four hour comedy show, MDash, as if he needs any more attention Yeah, it just feels conversational. It feels good to you. Yeah. but there was another one and oh the Oxford comma. was apparently. Well what is AI doing to it? They're just like people are you know, asking AI to write them stuff. Yeah. and then It'll use M dashes and Oxford commas more than the average person will. So that's like a to that this is AI. I'm going to use AI to write my obituary. I want to know. I want to know what they come up with. Actually, also the eulogy. I want See Chat GPC is to u say why, you know, life is it's part of life and it's part of the cycle, I could give it prompts. I have no idea how AI works except for Chad GPT Do you use it? No. Okay But I don't like I don't understand what the thing is where you put it in and then it comes out with looks like the lion King in a business suit or you know. I don't know whether you what Pom say get this. Yeah. tellell me what the lion king would look like if he was like, you know, working in a office. Yeah. Show me the business king. Yeah, But he's still the lion. the lion of Wall Street. Yeah. G me that. So anyway, I saw those things and I ate them. Yeah And I also saw another thing. I went to they rereleased a movie that This is a movie that came out Three or four years ago This is the movie that like brought everyone back to the theaters after COVID, but I never saw it at the time and now it's back I saw, what do you think After COVID Gun or inception.

A teenagers allowed in the bar? Singly I mean, they were with their parents, so maybe they're allowed to I don't know. Maybe it's not a bar bar. There's one teenage that you're allowed to drink at.. also technically. Yeah.

Two Against Nature by Steey Dan. Yeah Yeah, yeah, wait, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I think too Not their best album, but was really still good. It's great I think the greatest moment in the g is. When I've started following music and like pop culture and things and awards I remember like one of the first years I was paying attention Eric Klap did one like six for his unplugged album. Oh yeah. And then I remember thinking May the Grammyies aren't the same level as the Oscars. The thing that that does happen at the Grammies that doesn't happen at the Oscars r is that you get armfuls of Grammys. Yeah. You don't get armful maybe you get Has anybody ever won two Oscars in the same Oscars? Yeah, I mean, because directors are often the producers of the movies. Oh sure. yeah, so they get two. But yeah, they don't have like a cradle of Oscars Uh Yeah. I mean, you know what, if we all put our brains to it. I think we could win a gramy win a Grammy? Yeah. Oh Yeah think a Grammy winning album. Yeah. We would just go in one of the unpopular categories, you know, like Mambo Italiano or something like that, you know? I Mambo. I think I love Mambo, don't you slag Mambo? No ye, of course. well, of course. Mambo is Salsa's ugly step cousin. Oh my gosh. cancellled by my salsa people. I think I mentioned this a lot. that Tia Carre from Wayne's World has two or three Grammys for Hawaiian music. That's awesome When I was when I was more than Bob Newhart When I went to the Junos, the table I was sitting at was was all nominated for best jazz vocal. and they were just happy to be there where they were like shoot up hold.. So you guys could just clap. No, it's not what we do And I think one of the seats was also a best children's album. so it was a real way We're way in the back. Comedians not very respected at the beot at all. It's funny because everyone talks about Judo's in comedy. Yeah that like every once in a while I forget that it's That's the smallest thing and it's actually about music. Yeah. And then I like will see something more public facing, like on the CBC and I'll be like, oh, right, no one cares about the comedy. Yeah. Yeah. specially when you walk on that red carpet, they're like, o oh ye. what are you for comedy? Back to the person that to get a picture of lights.

Yeah, I do. So I was on a walk last night. Okay. and I like I walk on the seeawall lot in Vancouver, which is a great place to hear couples having fights. Oh ye. Yeah, because there's it seems like it's just like a natural thing that everyone who lives kind of near the seeawall, when they're having a fight and they have to get out to their apartment, they're like, let's go for a walk and talk this out. Yeah. Yes. Yeah So I was going for a long walk with Abdul Aziz. We sometimes well every month we'll just go for like a four hour walk until we can't walk anymore and ask guest of the show.
