And the audience fucking lost their mind. I had no idea. like as a kid that was so fucking funny, but I would do it night after night And I think that element of my comedy has stayed where I don't always know why It's funny when I'm like something's happening. Yeah Just just gonna ride this fucking thing. all O Yeah, it's like oh man, when you figure out a bit when you're a kid, Oh man, like like Rar. Yeah, Eactly. That's one of those things where then if family or friends came over and they'd be like, do the Yeah, do the thing that's so hilarious. Do the bit.

No, just we did In English class and drama. Yeah, we did I think I did Midarmer N' Dream twice Who were you? I was never like It was never up performance. It was just sort of like We're studying this in class. and so You have to memorize whatever this speech. Yeah. Did you? I had a thing where it was a Shakespeare company and it came through the school and everybody basically like There was the lead actor and then everybody just had like a line Like they just like my line was like, what is amiss? And u And they say, you are, sir, but do not know it. That's really the only quote I can remember from that. Have you the lion's part written? Be it if it be, give it to me for I am slow of studeady. Nice in there for the rest of your life. Rest of my Isn't that frustrating Yeah, because you don't need it again.ll I'll never need the line. Did you ever do any moreore Shakespeare? Yeah, I was in the company for a few years. so I did Yeah, several plays. But as a kid, like kid Shakespeare and then Kid Shakespeare was my name when I was a rapper. Kid Shakespeare Um, when you first kind of started out in comedy, mostly as an actor or writer? I started as an actor. I guess my first like professional real professional gig was secondecond City. So Yeahah, I got the touring company. And so what does that mean? I hear touring company. Is it you're going from It's not the Cuise version, because I know there's like second city on a boat. Yes, it's not the boat and it's not Oxco and it's not What's the one for school? Ed Co? Oh. It's none of those. It's basically you're like the understudy for the main stage and you tour to like weird little towns like Oxbridge, Ontario. and put on a best of Ontario. No, we went out to Manitoba. I think we're in Thompson, Manitoba. Oh yeah. I heard of Tump. Yeah, ye. Exactly. But we didn't go too far, like a little east cooast, a little Ontario, a little M itber And like because they I don't think I realize this until way, way later on that they have Setches that are already that are kind of passed on. It's the best of. So when you're in Torco, I remember my first director was Bob Martin who wrote was in Drazy Chafferone and performed on Broadway and everything. So he was our first director and he said, think of this is like a year long audition for Mainstage. You're here. you're performing the best of and then you understudy and then theoretically, someone you're understying uh gets fired. Yeah. that's where some sort of scandal O retires whatever. and then you have a shot at the thing. It show girls where basasically. Yeah, Gina Gershw gets pushed down the stairs. Yeah, exactly. or like all about Eve, like it's really ye U And like how many years did you do? I think I did Turco for like a year and a half and then I did mainstage, I think, just shy of three years. I love that it's all they get fired or it's not like, o they might get hired at a better place have to be pushed out to t Yeah. They might you know be on a TV show or It's a severance thing, you understand Yeah do you keep in touch with any of your group that you were part of? Sure. I mean, actually, I was just on tour with Pat Kelly and Peter Oldring. Friends of the show who the funniest men around. Really fucking are. they are so funny. We went and toured We did Western Canada and then a bit in Eastern Canada and a tiny bit in Ontario with a show and what was the name of the show? It' fun? It was called Perfectly Reasonable Night of Comedy. And that's what it was. It was reasonable. Yeah. That's the review. Re Reasonable As advertised. And they were the thing is they're always doing bits. like constantly. I think they're the best and I love them. But I had to I was like, guys, I'd never know. So I created a clown card for us. I drew clowns on cards for everyone. I was like, arere we clown card up? If you're doing a bit, just have your clown card up. If we're being serious, put your clown card down. So we actually have that as our shorthand now. we carry them around and it's Like is the car leaving at eight AM or is that a bit? Are? Oh, you're tricking me because I like to sleep in and you're saying it's eight. and then I'm like, oh I thought you were joking and they're like, no, it's for real. I' like I thought it was a bit. So let's see the car. I find Pat Petersbury A lot easier to read because he'll do a voice Pat is very Oh, he's dead Pat. No, he's unique, class. He's not J Just dead manad. I think he's dead. L at a dead guy. Just a dead man. Wow U Fighting words, really? Wow, that that's huge He never hears this. Oh my Godd, I forgot. Yeah, he doesn't like to be friend. He's alive. Were these these were shows in theaters Yes. what would the alternative be? Bars, I guess A Lgion perhaps? No, they were actual theaters Yes, they were theaters and we were traveling stadiums. Yeah, stadiums stadis. mister Chris Kelly as well who was ouror and f game, you know, engineer of all the And do you guys were doing improv or you doing sketches? It was a little bit of sketch, lots of improv, but sort of, you know So some of the best of some of the best yeah, best of I don't know. It was yeah, differentnt scenarios. And then I did some of my figure skating stuff that I do on I have Nothing, some of that on stage. So that show is so much fun. That's so much fun. Yeah. that like was a life changing. So exper. for. I first met Carolyn. I've only met Carolyn on Zoom Yes. we were Pat and Pete and I were trying to turn our podcast tw's alive, which one's dead Hat is a dead man. Hat's a dead man. This sounds serious into a TV show And we Got Carola on board to help us write a Pilot a Bible. Somet to develop it. Yeah. And at one point, you said, oh I I can't make this call. I got to go do this this skating thing And we're like, what is it? Oh it's nothing. Yeah ye. And then it was something then it was something. D't like for people who don't know who' never seen the show. Yeah What's the setup? Okay setup is basically that I'm in real life, IRL It's a docu comedy. So I relayed that I was driving my car in like twenty sixteen. I heard Whitney Houston's song, I have Nothing on the radio. a few parts Yeah, what you own? There we go. Okay, well, Dave day of nothing. nothing, nothing. There I don't haveave you. ' I like that probably I that do. Well, it's because I'm ashamed. No it's great. So I heard Whitney Houston sing it You didn't hear me Iiscernible And I was like, oh my go, this needs to be a full length professional like you know gold medal worthy Olympic figure skating routine. Yeah. I can fact and hear the jumps. And I really could. I like, oh my God. My girlfriend at the time and I'm like, you know, trying to land jumps to the music. I'm like, do you hear this? Do you hear the twists and the j? try to land in your head? Yeah Of course. in my head. And so it kicked around and I couldn't get rid of the idea. And then during I guess COVID, I had a lot of time on my hands I'm like, how would I pitch this? And. so I teamed up with Zach Russell and together we sort of broke the story of like how the show could be pitched and basically endeavoring to get to Olympic gold medalists to actually skate the skate and get the rights to the music and become a choreographer and like do it all on ice and have a big thing and then produce a show about it And it was nuts, but it happened. It happened. fucking happened And it was nuts. I love that like from the setup I loved it. I love the idea of it. Yeah. 'use when the Olympics are on, figure skating is that's where I'm parking. It's the one. It's the one. It's the one. And like it's rooted in an obsession with the eighty eight Olympics, which were the best ones the Calgary. Absolutely. Elizabeth Manley. And Katina V.ata Battle of the Cermet. Debie Thomas. Yeah And Debbie Thomas U Did you have a favorite from this? didid I have a favorite? Favorite from this past Olympic? Oh this oh, well, Alyssa Lu. Oh God like, come on. that particular dancecer just Oh the skate. The skate. Yeahes. Yeah ye yeah. I mean, I went in actually not really knowing them. People are like, o, you're obsessed with figers Tan like, no, just the ADA, the like maybe, the nineties like And then it stopped for me. But so that was my only frame of reference, frame of reference for the show. But no, this crop of skaters, they were fucking I mean and Riico and Ryuci from Japan Yeah, they won the gold and they're in my show as well. I was choreographing them like training shit. Yeah. so they're in it and they were only silver medalists at the time. so O Only Anyway. you know, you have one more to go Yeah. When you choreograph something because they' like Is it written down in a specific way or is it like it's not like, oh, so a skater could pick up the choreography and I'm like, Yeahah, I can do this. Yeah That's what they thought was gonna happen. Like they kept saying, okay, so what are the moves? Like what are the steps? And I'm like, Oh well, I come from an improv background. So like. you can kind of find it together, L I know where the jumps are But I mean, the stuff in between, I don't know. I got the audience to shout out the rest. Exactly. Io. Yeah. What's something someone might do on isice with a partner they were like, that's actually dangerous and you' just keep trying weird things. And so I sort of learned they kind of got a little bit injured or one of them did minor, small, small. But I was like, o shit, I gott to figure this out. so I went home and I sat down and really like tried to write everything out on cQ cards and like and I'd just draw it. So it'd be like this. like you're skating in a circle and David's gonna lift you up and you drew the little figure. I drew little figures because that was the only way to translate or I mimed. Like ye I didn't have the words. I didn't have the vocabulary I tried to learn the words, but You have them now?ome. Yeah, for sure. L you think that you in a pinch would you be able to be a commentator? comommentator went down during the Olympics. I would love Like if they they were like Listen We know this is you know, this is weird, but we think you could be good to fill in. Weve got somebody just come down with a cold. That's my dream. Yeah. That's my dream that I'm like given, okay, you have one hour to prepare. Yeah Okay and I can track and cram. Like there's times when I prepare. I have this thing with my girlfriend where I was like, I can learn every periodic table, like the Oh really numbers and the abbreviations for each And I studied and I said, you have to give me like two hours, I'll have it. But right now I don't have them, but I got I I did them perfectly and then we know the challenge But now they're gone. Like so I can cr for something and hold like world capitals. I can hold Yeah, you know Yeah pereriodic table, but then it's gone if I don't. That's interesting because the periodic table, like when I was doing chemistry in high school That was was your favorite element. Yeah. Well, for me, it's the surprise, the element of surprise. Oh ye ye Yours favorite element? Listen, I like, I mean, AU, gold. Nice. It's nice. Learn that from Facts of life. Yeah. AU stole my gold watch. I guess I like neon. Yeah, I was gonna say neon. Is Non ten or eleven. That's the thing is I don't know because the thing about the periodic table of elements on day one, our teacher was like, you're not going to have to memorize this. You always have it. Yeah, that's true. And then you just need to here's what the hard part is learning all of those the things they do. Yeah. Yeah. what's number one? Oxygen? No, it is hydrogen. Hydrogen's number one. Hydrogen, helium. Thium, lithium Beryllium Boryllium. Yeahah, fuck you're right. Yeahah Yeah, it's up there. It's one of the early ones. Carbon is six, I think Carpon was eight Oh is carbon eight? Well, let's see who studied the closes Let's figure there's. What is a joiner Yeah. Is curbving six or eight? Oh no. I thought it was six I'm going to say it's six. I'm going with Caralol Yeah please I think it's six Oh, it' eight? we're going embarrass Looking at at the actual table, hydrogen helium, lithium beryllium Carbon is six. Oxygen is eight.! Nicely done. Yeah Pos Um yeah, they I've had that same thing like in in high school. I could I could really memorize in like the night before Yeah and yeah, if you'd asked me to say anything from any of those tests. I' have no idea. I remember our headmistress at school was like, before exam started, she's like, Well, if you don't know it by now, you're never going to know it. And this was, you know just before exam week started. I was like, arere you fucking kidding me? Like I'm gonna to learn the entire curriculum This weend. Like that of if I took your advice, yeah, I would tellail. I would the same way but I would be like Like I know I'm not gonna to cram and get one hundred percent But I will I'll pass if I can put it off until the last minute and get by. I didn't like people who were like, quiz mee, quize before the test. I was like, no, you're just you're ruining my whole thing that I've got going here. Yeah. Yeah, I need to recall them when I need to recall I making people who made flashcards, I was like the time it took you to make those That's the whole time I'm going spend studying. Right ye. Like you're making them in advance and then studying them feel like flashcards were a real like sitcom device. I love them and I gotta say in grade school, I loved when I'm such a nerd, like when the teacher would be like, okay, we're doing our times tables. E everyone line up, and we' ready to do the m.. Yes. This is my time to liive. Like I love memorization. Ours was, I remember in grade one, it was plus and minuses and she had flashcards and you would come up with another student and whoever got it first got to sit down and if you didn't, you have to keep standing there and it was humiliating for the person who was stuck there. Yeah. Yeah, it was there was like I remember you remember sccantron like fill in ABC or D and it like read, you had to do it with a HB pencil or whatever. Do you ever have to do this? I blacked it out. So this like it would be on a long card and you would answer all the questions from the test and then they put it through a reader And the reader would make a noise for every thing that was wrong. So if it was like one mistake' would just go like deep and then go through. They did it in front of the whole class. They didn't say whos was whose. Oh, but we knew when it was like B we were like, Brad. It's Brad Oh thats They did lice checks in front of everyone in school. In in front of everybody. That was humiliating because I had long hair and I got lice a couple of times. Yeah and they're like, send you out. My daughter's going to camp this year. and they're They're doing lice checks like at the Drop off. Yeah. absolutely. You go to the wrong sleepover Long hair, you know, you're with your best friend, she's got lice, you got lice. Yeah. ye. We were trying on different hats that was going on? Totally trying on different hats, sharing each other hello. I don't know. I have no idea. I just know they went through your hair with like a comb. Yeah. And then if you were identified as having lice, you had to go to the special other room and No ye. Oh my go. Brutal. That's horrible. Yeah Do that at home Make it's the parents job. donon't have it ach in front of everybody right. You' never Like I don't know how bad it gets, but they really don't want a lice outbreak. No, apparently like if it spreads, it goes wild. Yeah. Yeah. As far as I'm concerned, it's nobody's business Yeah, I seem to recall a kid or a class of Glice and Stuck around him for many years. Yeah U That's very that's very vulnerable of you to say that you had lice.. We're trying to d stigmatize L. Lice. Yeah, I did. The other thing I remember from our Zoom sessions. Okay was you loved your uni pizza. Oh fuck yes. Oh my We would talk about those like, o, your plans for this pizza it's an oven, a pizza oven fits in an IKEA bag. Yes, I carry mine around an IkeA bag. And you and then was yours gas or wood? Minees wood. Okay. No, I have strong feelings about this. Like some people are like, oh I got a newie pizza oven.

You couldn't have kid Like fire shoots at the back when you open up the thing. L it's really f I've burnt myself. Like you don't want someone helping. You do it like in the middle of a field? Yeah,s a few feet from my house, but yeah, I do.

I knew it was time to you were there for like a few years. Yeah, like I think I only did one or two years actually for the full season. I was there on the trial thing and then I I didid another one where I got the job, but I just committed to walking across Spain to walk the camino. Really? Yeah. So I had to like turn down twenty two, but then I got it when I when I when when I came back from Spain, they were like, you can come. So I did it Yeah what is this What is this? I know tell tell us about us You know at the know, Santiago, Comostella I know about sa the I know about running with the bulls. Yeah. I know Tomato is it Tmatillo? I know about the tomatillo. Yeah Okay, well there's this thing that I'm sure some of your listeners have heard about it's called the Camino de Santiago. and it's an ancient path that goes across northern Spain and it starts in the Pyrenees mountains in France, S Jan Pera Pur. You climb the Pyrenees I get myself for. And you walk every day. It's about just shy of eight hundred kilometers. Okay to Santiago. and there's a big cathedral there and was it was walked by saints and sinners and prisoners and royalty and there's a big cathedral everywhere. Yeah, there were many cathedrals along the way. and you had committed to this? I had. Oh I couldn't do this season because I committed to like The National hockey. I' committed to play Division one for UCLA But I had my flight and I was and I remember being really like worried. I'm like, Ohh no, I've been wanting this gig and I needed the gig. Like it wasn't like I didn't need the gig. I really needed the. I the hell of you for saying I'm doing this thing. I've already got a plan. I just got kicked out of second city. Yeah, yeah, exactly from fire from And so I just but luckily it worked out but you know when you're following what're You know, when you're like, no, no, I committed to this thing, then usually the path opens I find if you're being honest. like you're not fucking someone, you're not lying and saying have this other thing. It's like it's the truth. You gota thing.. And they heard it and they said, okay, join us in November. Is it an event where like everyone walks at the same time? No You just start walking whenever you get a little credential, which is like a little mini passport and you walk about Between like twenty credential. Yeah. What does credential mean Um, it's like a sort of u like a little piez of furniture with drawers. It's a little back here, pizz of oven Yeah you walk like twenty five k to forty k a day. Wow. And it takes about a month. We with a group Solo No, Well, I was gonna walk alone. I told my friend Joel, I said, Hey I'm walking alone. She's like, why would you do? Like Wh who else wants to? And she's like, h, But she fell in love on like day one or two. And so she went off with Lorenzo. Lorenzo. And I was like, where's my friend? But we did agree to go, like we agreed we were together alone meaning If you get tired and you want to stop or you break your leg, like I'm not gonna stop walking. Right. Vice versa, like we're gonna like I'll help you get to a hospital, but like you break your leg. I later. But like we're on our own journey. Y. How long were she and Lorenzo together? They were together a long time. or a while months, years. yeah Okay, Wow. Yeah. Where did he come from? He came from Italy. Oh noz Lz. Yeah, he was a beautiful human he's no longer with us, but he was a beautiful, beautiful human being and he was He was the slowest walker on the thing. So like Jill used to be like, you know, lapping me being ahead, but once she fell in love, she walked slowly Lorenzo and I was on my own You know what? You're better for it. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. You need somebody like him wighing you day. Yeah. I've seen in recent years people hiking with Step holes. Yeah Is this did that exist back then? Some people did. Like listen, there are the people who are like, oh, my I had my bag carried by a tour bus that brought it to them I'm like You know, Ma coming know. Oh You know, and I you walk through these industrial areas at times like sometimes you're in these bucalic beautiful, you know, like vineyards and mountains and whatnot. And then other times you're in like the wasteland like walking through Mississauga or whatever the outskirts of Vanouver. Yeah This is a. And And when I walk though, some people are like, oh, I'm gonna to catch a cab just to get out this the boring this ten K just a little bit. But I could hear my brother's voice And I knew at the end of the month he'd say, you walk through the communo. Id say, yeah, he, you never once just said I'll hop in a cab to get was like and I could hear it and I was like, I knew he'd say, so you didn't really walk the camino. And I was like, fuck. So while everyone else, not everyone, but some people hopped on City bus I was like, no. None of these people have an annoying brother. Yeah you gota have a brother who holds you to account. He's like, h, then you didn't really do. Yeah. but like Remember that time you almost did the camino? No, that's what it would be mean. I'd be like, but I walk seven hundred in a seventy I can like, would these people know that you were on this trip if you passed by a guy who you're wearing like putting out hundredenzZL. Yeah. one hundred. Like this walk has been going on for thousands of years. So people would know when you're walking through They'd be like, there' those people doing the spit on you. And their' little yellow arrows spray painted on the ground some places. So you can kind of get lost It wasn't very well marked. Ag, I did it in the early two thousand or two thousand five, I think. so now maybe it it's better marked. but you know what? I love walking through IKA when they have the arrows like projected down underto the ground. That's your walk. That's my. know That's your every time I see the arrow on the ground that's just projected from above, I'm like amn they did it. They really they really they figured out this Bogo. If you take an allgoo Bogo. Gobo. Gobo. Bogo is by it's a way have it. I Yeah Um, and you were at Pim is for For five years? for like maybe a little mini one and then a full season and the mini Yeah we made out here and like I think I did another o, I came in I don't know, I' finish a season ones. I'm not sure. I can't remember Fot Lse and frenancy free. Something like that. I don't remember. I remember the like I remember very little about it, but one thing I do remember is that a group of us went and saw the movie three hundred the like Spartan Battle movie with the Gerard This isays Gerard Butler. Gerard Butler is the lead. Gerard Day Pardu. Yeah, Jeff. It is is most rnted That was the movie where they u I mean, they were all in good shape. They were they also airbrushed abs onto everyone. I do every morning when I wake up. I think Ive blacked that. I don't know if I was part of that. I don't remember. That's the only kind of like I have like very kind of Remember not getting into many sketches. Yeah, that well, that's normal you're trying out. Yeah And but everyone else trying out came Yeah all st except for me Yeah. That's right. I remember I started to get into Battle Star Galactica because everyone was so into that. I'm like, okay. L I'm not really into sci fi, but I watched it and got into it so that I could have conversations with people. Yeah. and I've done that. Yeah But yeah, it's I still want to get into that I'll watch it with you if you want. like in person? No no. Watch it at the same time. Dave. Have you watched it? All right, new bonus content. we're watching. Oh cool, let me p it. Yeah. What was gonna say Pedalestar andrameda? Nope. Pedalar Galactica. Yeah, I got it. on the battle boat Galactica. There was one character I thought was kind of compelling and it was like this one character you didn't want to be around because if they said something to you, they planted an idea in your head. it was just better not to ever have a conversation with them because once they got in your head, you'd never get them out of your head. That's literally all I remember Yeah.. I have no I have no reference. Okay well let me know when you get's funny though there are those things, I can't think of any examples where you're like, I the one little detail like why now this is the dumbest example, but that Katherine Zada Jones movie with Sean Connery, Everyone just remembers her butt going under the laser. laser ye. Like it was a full two hour movie we all saw, but Yeah Now I'm trying to think of something where I just know one thing. I mean, like I never watched Game of Thrones except the last episode. Okay I never watch. Yeah Well, don't watch the last episode. none of it makes any sense. I hear it's the worst, right? It's supposedly the worst. It was fine to me. Right becausecause you hadn't watched it. I't. Iike this is a satisfying Yeah. there's going be real storylines all tidied up in the end, you know Um, Yeah, do you Fantasy, sci fi, any of that. I like magical realism, so I like stuff that seems like this world but is slightly off. you've been on Black Mirror. I was on Black Mirr I love that kind of st. Yeah that yeah, exactly me too. but I'm really highly suggestible. so I have a hard time watching it because then my brain, like that one SS What was the Blackmar? You know, they're on the ship that like Star Trek and yeah They this nerd uploads your DNA into his magical world of like Star Trek and you've got to be characters, you're tracked this alternate universe. No Is Is this a black miror? It's a black mirror and it's so scary that I actually can't watch too many or I won't sleep like I'm. because then I go I went to a party. actually it was Pride in Toronto and this one guy had a lot of memorabilia from like you know, sci fi type stuff. And he had a party and had all our names on plastic cups. And I was like, I don't want you a fucking ch. I was like, I'll take my cup home. And he said, Ohh, what are you worried? I'm gonna to take your DNA. I was like, I take me. Exactly U And just would you want to brush your hair with this before you go No No, I've got lights. Yeah. But it gets into my head so I can't watch. Yeah, Like, do you watch Black Mare at all? I watched the first season or so. I like A again, the only thing I remember is the Prime Mister fucking the p. Yes,. So I maybe watched the first episode or so. like this is not for me. And I likek that it was all kind of regular except that one Yes. It wouldd be like, oh, everybody can replay their memories. Well isn't that the like criticism of it as well. It's just like Yeah, but what if you're Blender was crazy. Right. Dave, that's pretty sccaary.our Blender was crazy. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. That'd be great. Yeah. I mean, write it down. You've got a pad. You got a no pad. Crazy Blender. It was like Alfred Hitchcock. Oh no, we lost. Yeah. We lost ink. Oh no Oh, here we go. So we've got A. We've got a check markark and now crazy Blender. Blender. Yeah, it was like it is like Alfred Hitchcock. Yeah. We' like Twilight. Twilightsone that was formative, I'd say, as I did watching it. I watched I loved Alvt Hitchcock present. Did you say Elvin Alvin It was a sci fi thing. You wouldn't understand. You A Chip Munk presents U And then X files was a big one when I was kid and that was like Yeah, same kind of thing. like everything is normal, but we're in the Viscation there's a rep Last week you told me you saw the movie. Obsession. Yes. and that falls in that same It's scary. It's scary. you saw it. Yeah, I saw it. Well because you told the story of you went to the theater and The usher outside said to you, goodood luck, good luck. He was saying to everybody walked in. Good luck And then you And then when the lights went down, he came back in and said Uh, like you can't Good luck. Your momum's not coming to save you y.it. Was it as scary as It was scary It's magical realism. Whatould you call it magical realism? Yeah. everythingthing's normal except one little ingredient. Yeah. and it's like do you like horror movie at all? or thriller I'm like Kamir go away. I want to and then I get too sccared. So again, two suggest. It's not the scariest I don't like horror movies. and I was like, but everyone's talking about this one. Maybe I should see it. It's fun. It's like It's fun and she's great. likeike the way she the performanceces A star is born and it was this kid who made it, he made his original film for seven hundred dollars.. And that was on YouTube and got a big following. Yes. And he made this one for under eight hundred thousand dollars and it's gross like one hundred fifty millionars. So it's cool because he's just like a young guy and everybody's like, he just knew all of his stuff like he was a kid, but he knew How to run a set. But I went so I went a few days later. Yeah and I didn't know where you saw your movie I took the train. I went to the one at u The one Yeah, Riverport. No Marine gateway gateway. get river port a marine gateway mix up all the time because a river to me is marine. and what is a gateway if not a port? I see I get confused. but I went and I as I'm going to the theater, the guy was wearing a it was a Nchher wearing a paper crown like a burger King crown. Yeah He was wearing that for you. Yeah Okay. I guess this is his thing. And he said Good luck. And then your mum's not going to save you And I went and there was a We went on a Friday night? We do a movie on a Friday night in years. I go by myself at like two o'clock on a Tuesday.. And it was so full and the energy was so great. and the people next to me there were these four teenagers and they were like, anyytime anything scary happened, they all giggled with each other old timey, like those were Yeahes, like. Be I only go by myself to matinees, I believe the hype that, you know, movie theaters are dying. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah. But then yeah, it it was backacked when I was there. Oh cool. And it's it isth if you're going to see it, it is worth seeing it in the theater. Okay, well now I want to go see it. Yeah, because let's let's go right now U Dave, what's going on with you, my friend? I did I tell you I saw that movie? Yes, you did The other thing is I shouldoulder' been bothering me? Oh no.

There was no You know, I didn't hurt myself. I didn't, you know get my arm caught in the door. Yeah. But he was like, what side do you sleep on? And I said this side and he said, C can't sle on side anymore. Yeah And so I've been sleeping on this side. I've been with Abby I'd say we have lived together. Well you know what? beforefore we live together, we spend every night in the same bed. Nice twentyw six years? I've been sleeping on my left side. Okay. Okay I am So I've started sleeping on my right side and suddenly I'm having the most vivid dreams On your right side? Well, like every time I travel and I sleep in a like a new bed that I've never slept in before. I have these crazy dreams And Dave's famous for having the most boring dreams. Is that right? Yeah x my most famous boring dream is I had a dream that my travel agent retired Oh Or was retiring and it was like, I gotta get this these travel plans in before she retired. Oh God Dave, what sign are you Uh what sign am I? Yeah. Do you want to guess? I just crossed your arms? No, I'mious. Well, is it like something like I don't know forgo or Do you have No, what is it? I'm a saagittarius. Oh sagge, okay whyy? Yeahah? why? Well, I'm just curious like it just I don't know, I was just wondering if you're like played by the rules and you keep by the rules. And like you worry the travel agents leving said that's your point of stress and you want to make sure the plans are organized before you. But I mean, Sagittarius is a big travel sign. So maybe that would be anxiety for a Maybe it would be it was like you gota go one of these Spanish walks at. Yeah Oh too scary? What if I follow love I'm an Italian guy. Let'side am I going gonna sleep in then? But it's like the same effect It just like staying in the same bed and sleeping on a different side. It's like My brain is completely transformed. The dreams I can't remember. Right they' But they're like they're bumping. I wake up in the morning and I'm like, what happened? Yeah, because there was A listener wrote in last week with one that they had O they' explaining to their friends the science behind sensidine toothpaste. Oh God. What's your side? I'm a Pisces. Oh yeah.. So what do the Pisces dream of? We're dreamers. We dream a lots. We have like prophetic dreams. We dream about all sorts of I mean often in elevator. Do you have prophetic dreams like where you You propesize I've seen the future of process. Yeah, but in really like low key kind of lame ways, like something like I'll dream of something breaking and then it breaks. or like Tal agent, by the way, still hasn't retired. So this was not prophetic It wasn't? No. Oh, I thought you had okay. Maybe they were thinking of and then you said that, I can prove it wrong Instagam for a couple more years I'd like you to ask your listeners though, for the people who I'm often having terrifying airplane dreams. So that's my like terrifying on an airplane. On an airplane. always. Is when you're on the airplane or is the dream you're in bed in the dreams on an airplane Oh great. Yeah. I'm in bed the dreams on the air. I thought you werereaming the air. But if I'm an airple I'm like sleeping with one eye open, I'm scared the entire I'm always like every time the pilot breaks in the air, whatever he does in the air, George or not breaks. You that favorite like. You t. Everybody w I spill my dream Yeah Yeah that and elevators. I'd be curious because I talk to another friend who has elevator dreams and she is the same thing where when I'm in an elevator and she' same thing for her. it goes sideways, it turns on an angle, it like skyrockets up or plummets down. Oh yeah. I have a regular dream where I think it' part of this is a normal dream, but part of it's not that you're somewhere and you're naked. Yeah and nobody else is. But I'm like get used to it everybody. This is the new thing. I'm doing this And so people are like, put on clothes and I'm like, nope, no way, man, this is where I'm going from now on. I think that's a very positive dream. It's a very positive dream. And so you're like, this is who I am. Yeah, That's like a big stress dream. of like, oh I'm naked somewhere I'm not allowed be. I'm like, I'm naked somewhere'm not allowed be I'm loving it. And I gotta homework to do. And I can't do that naked I get a lot of just like the next day I'll just be out and about and I'll be like I'll see a piece of paper and I'll be like, Ohh, I think I was filling out forms in my dream last night. Filling out forms D. What's your rising sign What is that bab? How you present to the world. I'm gonna guess your' rising is something in the like. You gotta do. You need to know what day of the week I was born. I need to know what time you were born. I was born at eight PM on Monday, december first, nineteen eighty eightight PM in Canada Vancouver Vancouver AM. eightM. I think like the sort of heuristic to figure it out is like if you say sunrisees between let's say five and seven in the morning 's. The sun had set, I'm guessing. Right. But if you were born between this is so boring you can it out. You know, we'll put it in it something on the butt sensit it nine toothpaste. Perfect perfect. Between five and seven you say, okay, then you would be a saagitterus with sagerus rising. If you're between seven and nine, you'd be sag with a hold on. guys this is born m I'm going to Try to find it before you find it betweenetween nine and eleven, you would be an Aquarius rising between eleven and one. You're going be a Pisces rising We went in three areas threeree in five five in five tourists. Information Five and seven. Gemini, seven to nine. I'm guessing. You are a cancer rising. I'm guess. Okay but I see or Gemini you're like Gemini, or cancer and No, not Leo. I don't think. but one of those three. I will put money on Gemini Cancer or Leo and I'm gonna say probably cancer. Proably you have an ascendant in Leo Yeah one of there you go. Yeah. Gemini canancer Layo. Now have you do you get readings done? Do you get I have had a reading done Yeah. Yeahah. did you feel like? leed after or like, ah now I've got to watch out for these things or that's what I'd be most worried about is like saying, okay, this event's going to happen like win. Yeah. Yeah. just be careful of iders Yeah kindind of like that battle trigle lot if they plan to seeed it in your head and it's like, oh no, no. Yeah. Yeah, no, I haven't had anything like that. Like it's mostly like things to look out for iss she like, oh, this would be a good time to do. you know, start a new venture or like. But actually I kind of can't remember much Remember the TV show venture It was had a CBC b Maybe it's is it even a show or is it a segment on the National? It might have been cventure. It's like economic news. L W five. Yeah W five. Yeah, the passionate eye Oh my go. I There was a passionate eye from when I was a kid And it was about the sex trade in the Soviet Union. And it was I just remember the name of it, Pstatuki Prostitute. And every time I hear prostitute, I think prostitute That's amazing. Wow. For listeners not from Canada, the passionate Iye was just CBC would just show a documentary. Yeahah like a half hour long document. Oh, an hour sometimes. Would it be that long Let's check it out. It's still on. Is it really? Yeah you could tell me because all I know I know the national is still on. Yes. I know. I don't think W five is still around or maybe it is. I think it The fifth estate. Oh yeah, those get those I been around the same part of the time. Yeah And then this was all stuff that like when you're watching TV as a kid you're like, I'm not watching this. Yeah, but then I would. I would watch. I would watch the National. Yeah. I watch sixty minutes with my mom every Sunday growing up. L we would watch sixty minutes and you'd learn about the Audi five thousand that do you remember that one? whereere the car and when you had it on break, it would accelerate. the pilot Yeah Is that where we get the expression I'm outudy five thousand. probablyroably And then you get Andy Rooney complaining. Oh big te. That was my favorite part. Yeah, that was always the comedy bit at the end. R? Like And I thought because like that as a kid, anything that skewed comedy I was on board. So I was like, this guy is funny for old people and therefore he's funny. therefore I'm going to learn everything about. He had books that came out. I would rent those from the library, write his rants. a Ryhead. It was a real runy head.. And then he I don't think he was rummed out of the industry. I think he just died. He was a very old. he got more and more cranky as he got older? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was more and more perfect. And what was it would he take a product and break it down like why it was bad or what was he It would just be, you know, like it would be a thing that was a trend. like people don't go to the movie theater anymore. and then he would have like two minutes of kind of Not a rant, but kind of you going like, w within the in the movie. Like you kind of have this long cor they put the butter on top, but I'm not just eating the top. O that don. That is exactly Andy Ry style complaint. They call it too ply toilet paper, but Where's the other playly going? A to make any fly to to fly. Yeah a lot of like, you know F turns a phrase and he would dunk on What was the guy was a Morley Safer? Morley Safer. was the he was the old guy. W Morley Safer? No, who' Harry Reasoner. Where are these names coming? This is like the periodic table. Wow, how do I know this? It was Harry Reasoner? I think. Harry Reasoner. ye. Morley Safer Diane Sawyer. Dne Sawyer and Mike Wallace. Mike Wallace Wallace. Yeah Mor they say, who had an ear? was Ed Bradley? Yes. A he have an ear Definitely. Maybe it was Harrison Ford has an ear. Yeah Harrison Ford was one of the sixty minutes crerew.. I interview the Wookieies and such. I was of course a twenty twenty guy You know, when I felled out a buzzfed test, it said that I was a twenty twenty kid With you dans of Barba Walters? That's fancy. And John Stost. It was Friday nights And John Stostsel used to have a segment. There was kind of a rip off of Andy Rooney's called Gim me a break. Give me a break. And he'd like, ye, you know, these new camcorders, they say they're so good. G me a break, he would say Yeah, Johns Dostle. And then he got his own show or he took over twenty twenty. Yeah. Well, no, I feel like John Yeah, then was John Kinons, what would you do part of it? And then he got his own show after Shark Tank I haven't gone out on a Friday night ever. Were you guys raised on TV too? I on Latchkey kids. Yeah. And there was no TV boring enough that I wouldn't watch. Yeah. I think like I would sit it out golf U you know,s newewsHour anything. would But there as long as it was on TV. was you had more than one channel. so there was always something opposite golf. I know, but sometimes it would be other golf. But ye time of day It might have been like, yeah. there was like, I was talking with a friend recently about Battle of the Network stars and I lived for that because then it was all the shows you watch battling each other And you know, there was like NBC was cool then, I think. Yeah And it would. I really wanted to take out CBS. I was invested. It would be like Missy Gold versus like, who's Missy Gold? Missy Gold is what's her name? Gold Tracy Gold's sister? from Growing P. She on She was on Fantasy Island. she played like some a devil who had like flames in her eyes. That was Misty Gold. Oh wow. And Howard Cosll would sometimes, I don't know if he was always the announcer, but he would introduce, you know, I just remember him saying, Wow, Cookie Elise Beasley, who was the like secretary for Moonlighting. Oh, wow And for people who don't know, it was a show where you would take stars of different shows. Also news programs are all fictional shows. No, I think the whole gamut. And then they would compete in like Three legged race. Yeah. cananoeing. kayaking across the pool at USC. Yes. It's actually like a great idea for a show. L it's just an extra there's just two networks now.. I'd love to see it now. Yeah, the food network. Or yeah. Oh, I'd love to see the stars of the food network. Yeah. Or battling The streaming service stars old fashioned tug warar, I love a tug of warar. Yeah. My kids had sports Day last week, which is a springtime memory.

Oh, I've only seen one episode, but I find it really compelling. It's very compelling and there's there's not a spoiler. at one point somebody comes in because they've they were the back of a tug of war and had the rope wrapped around their hand and Oh what? damage. There was I mean, that is the dumbest way to hurt yourself is trying to like anchor a win the tug of warar. I would jump on any tyug of war. Like, if you said a tug of war has happened If you said, let's go Tug of warar now I'd be like, I'm fucking in. Like I would love to be part of a tug war. What was your technique? Just being part of it. J the unity, like that feeling of like we're all pull together. I just had were the good person. I was just somewhere in the middle. That feeling of when you're making progress. Oh God Yeah and you take another step and and they're all heading towards the puddle and you're like, ye. Or you're like sometimes I would face the opposite way and be like what if I walk forward? Yeah. then I'm reinventing that. Then mentally I'm winning Anyway, that's what's going on withith me.

Once they've got like to a cap, like it's where the top size we can be, they covered in a plastic so that nothing can get We're in And then they plant soil on top and then they like they all just look like nice hills. like they don't look It don't look weird. It look like a normal hills. And is that the thrill? like to be like, wow, I would think that's just a normal nice hill. Well, they took the thrill. The thrill was getting see the machines like push tons of garbage around. that was And here's the thing did it stink I was in a bus, so I didn't smell. But here's the cool That buses never stink U becausecause obviously like seagulls and other birds, crows are attracted to the garbage They this is the coolest fucking thing. They have hawks that they've trained to circle the air around the dump to keep those other birds away. And the other birds one of the other birds are eagles. Eagles are always going there. So it's hawk versus eagles. Oh wow. Yeah, it's fun. So like anywhere there was a post or anything like that, they were all covered in hawks and eagles And it was yeah, I never And it was funny too, because it's like, our solutions to garbage are still make a big pile of it. you. We've got words we don't want Get some birds that they don't like? Sure. Are we we're not worried about hawks taking over the city I mean, look If they want it more, then It's So you're on the bus? Is the bus packed? Is this the social event of the season? Oh, it's packed. And what's the demographic? Like most folks like would you are you like these are my people? A lot of couples, a lot of people with kids. Okay. And when you tell your wife You want to do this. Yeah. It was her idea. Oh Was it your birthday? No. She just said she saw it somewhere and she was like, Ohh, we should go to do this. I was like You've gone two of you have gone before. Yeah, but we didn't get to go like into where all this stuff was actually being like Okay. so we went kind of in the perimeter. So this is the first time like seeing Wild machines moving trash around. You guys are making eyes at each other I'm just curious if so Your wife, like this is something, I mean, I listen to a podcast on a thing called prereference falsification. Okay People say they like a thing that they don't really like to get along. And so I'm curious, do you both have the same like you both really like trashhing like f baby. it's trash day like let's both go orr is she being like I know this means a lot to Gram. I'm gonna to suggest it and this is a really nice thing to do, but would fall in that gu. Okay.. But she iss fascinated with my fascination.. Okay, so she's watching you while you watch this trash. Yeah Pople generally like marry a person that they get along with. So I think like if you like trash, then your partner's probably not that far away from it. Yeah But it was man the birds that was wild. I had no idea that that was a thing that As I just assumed Seags would be, you know ruling the whole land. but they got these awesome hawks. There was also a stand that had a baby owl that you could stare at up close. That sounds so cool. I wouldn't have I'd never would have guessed that there was trash dours, trrash chores. yeah. Free popcorn, free popcorn f Candy floss? Okay. Are you British no? What do we call it? Coton candy? We call it cotton candny Can't eat it. reminds me too much of playing in fiberglass at my like friend's unfinished basement. getting go like handle chopped. It's sticky. It's sticky. Candy floss is a really funny name for it because you wouldn't floss with it. No. Cotton is the better name for it. Cotton. Barbaapa is the French Really?ame which means the dad's beard Really? saza Um but yeah, I didn' Quebec and France Men have big pink puppy beards. But isn't Barba Pubpa like a character? Barb Pubpa is like a series of weird shappe Weird shape blob people. Yeah Yeah, where is that from? Is that French Pstty French. Yeah ye pretty French. So yeah, if any you guys have any questions about the dump, well, they don't like calling it dp. They like calling it a landfill. So what's the difference? I think the dump is the centralized where everybody drops the things off Yeah and then the stuff gets sorted and then whatever needs to go to landfill goes land. Are there bears That's a very good hog. I didn't take care of the bears. Yeah the hogs bears are. There weren't necessarily there were deer and there were coyotes. They have lots of coyotoutes. Yeah. But they didn't bring coote a cooyote They said coyotes, but yeah, Coyote is kind of the that's the way, right That's how I say, but I've heard both. Yeah. I've been to a couple of dumps where you can take stuff like you know, they you dump some stuff and you see an old chair that you' like you want to like that Exactly. Is that the policy there? Like arere you allowed to leave with something if you see something that you like At this point it's all like that's the stuff that's gonna get just buried. Okay. So life on C kill a guy Yeah and bury his body. I find out day they're putting the last like plastic over top of all the garbage. I need to sneak in sneak in a dead body and then They ventilate the stink stink out. Yeah And you're a free man I'm a free man and no one's ever gonna ask about my missing twin brother. And your carpet. What happened to your nice carpet Um But yeah, it's u u So we have like zero waste centers, which are like, that's where you could go L I like that thing and take it? Yeah. Yeah. really? Yeah, like You're not supposed to, but you could they're not they don't own it or anything. They're just like you put it in the right area. That's great. Yeah. It's like natural recycling. there's no infrastructure. You just sort of go grab the thing. it's recycled. Yeah into your own they'll throw everything elsew I get it in it's individual recycling. Yeah. I've g down to the electronics recycling place to, you know, get rid of an old printer or whatever. It's very mind blowing that you're like, wow, like you look at some of the things around, you're like, Like four years ago, that was six thousand dollars. now it's trash Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Trash is fascinating. Yeah Like that you think and it's all stuff from a time period. you're like all of this is from twenty sixteen. like o you know it. Yeah. Yeah But yeah, it's a good like I miss those beige electronics. Yeah back when like u You know, like a microwave would be beige. Yeah. eighties kind of. Yeah. Yeah Yeah. You don't see that around anymore. Beage electronic. No They should bring it back. Yeah Was it like, I guess it was standard Most electronics were black, right? Or silver Yeah. It depends on it. Eera. Yeah. I mean, in the fifties the electronics would be wood paneled I not And then kitchen electronics were sort of like that that sort of mustardy color and greeny color or like appliances they would yeah, they would be avocado. Avocado, yes. Yeah. So it's like that's where you do that. When I was a kid, my uncle was a contractor. so we would go with him to the dump to like drop off drywall and stuff like that. Oh lucky. cute. But then we could run around and grab whatever we wanted So there would be just like this crazy mountain of fridges that you could just go and open all the doors I remember I was This is I guess unrelated, but when I was like seeven or eight, all the neighborhood kids went into this construction site and they had They were like, they found these like balls of clay amongst the dirt and they would Rll them at the house next door Uu And I really couldn't tell there was between a ball of clay and a rock. Yeah And I threw a rock at this house and the people were like came out and got mad at us. But they must have been Just like the whole time being like, I can hear the kids throwing clay at our house. What But you know, I They want to in a confrontation with a bunch of were kids once too. Yeah, but if they throw an actual rock, then they're in trouble I've never heard of this before. Did you own up? Did you take your punishment? No, we were all throwing crap at so. it wasn't just. So they were Like at the time, I was like, oh man I fucked up. I shouldn't have I should know the difference between a ball of clay and a rock. But now thinking back, if someone was throwing balls of clay at my house right now, I'd be like, I definitely hear that. Yeah Clling that one why hear every Creek. U I've got you on camera. Yeah Yeah. but like a constructor site Catnip to a young lad. didid you ever anything like that on a construction site? No, but I was I kind of just did what I wanted as a kid, I think that' my memory anyway. just there was a university campus right near my house and so I would go and like just run around the campus and whatever That was, I don't know, and getting a friend to do like put roller skates in your hands and we' hold your legs and I'll get in the wagon and it'll go down, but you go first ' I was always doing weird shit like that That does really seem like a thing a kid would do Yeah, you're gonna to end up with frozen shoulder.

You've jotted stuff down' fantastic. Again, it wasn't the best. So the one I I'm going to go with the one, not this one because this was just people talking about the oh, when did we go to Kirosa and Aruba I gotta figure that out. That was Ohh, was that the other year or the year before? It says it's seventeen on the island. You have your whole life you can draw from. If you can remember one from Well, so I remember one from the past, so I'm gonna to draw on that one and I'm gonna scratch out the scatch I just listened to in a cafe. No. It was just one sentence, but it always stayed with me these group of friends talking women middle aged and they were talking about a friend, I guess who wasn't there. and they started off about how great she is, you know, She's so great. She's, oh my, she works so hard. She works just like a little rat. you know? She's just like a rat the way she works. And I was like, ye, fucking bitches like I want to find that friend and be like those are not Yeah, yeah. And they're like, oh, but it was all couched and like, no, she's wonderful. just like a little rat. you know you give her something and she's just going chew away at it t that little thing And I was just like you are Horrible. but I found it oddly compelling. like o yeah. Yeah. so's that's my one. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. It's so busy like well, I guess a rat. Yeah Yeah. you know, some other road. and I'm not gonna look have other onees. Yeah. Like but rats, when you think about it, are very industrious. They are and apparently they're very kind, very intelligent. Yeah, hard wororking. Yeah. they are industrious. Yeah. like my friend, she's such a little rat. Yeah, just a rat. Just trying so hard just Always achieving your goals like a fucking rare. Yeah. She's always snitching and wonder how Rats got involved in that shorthand, but Be Yeah yeah like Rats don't They don't tell on anyone. Yeah. whyy is it called that you're being you're a ratat I mean, inst just being Oh, a listener is running to their keyboard right now to say. It's actually because they used to call them ponies, but then when a rat would show up, it was evidence that you had cheated on your wife And then we're telling on you U I like this. In that scenario, the rat somebody telling somebody that he's cheating That's the rat. He's wearing a wire. Well, this is not going be useful to our mafia case, but awkward. but Did any rats at the landfill? Didn't see any rats but Well those hawks are eaten well. You know, they are and this is the the house across the alley for me Apparently is like condemnable. They're selling it. It's just going to be a tearown Apparently it's full of rat. Yes.

I can't imagine who else it would' have been. But are they tearing down the house? I think so. I think they just tear down and the rats will go away. Yeah, they'll go into everybody else exactly. My girlfriend has a tattoo of a rat on her shoulder. lotots of tattoos, but a tattoo of a rat. Okay. she grew up with a rat? I think his name was Blue or something but she loves them Oh, sure. She's like, No Rad is a beautiful. You know animal, they're smart, they're lovely, they're adorable, but I know that that was not the intent. No, I know. It works like a little right. I respect that people have rat pets But I don't want everyone to see one. Actually when I see someone with a rat as a pet, I don't mind it. Like a video of someone with their pet rat. Yeah But if I came in and I had a rat on my shoulder, I was like, guys, do you mind if I just bring my rat? L I would I would have reservations, but I'd be like, all right, let' let's try.

Anyway, we're walking back to the car walking slowly about to get the water jugs from the trunk you to fill them up with water And we we're talking and all of a sudden we heard like, We got to the car and tree like I think a dead branch hit another dead tree and it went smash down.

And she's like, huh. And then it was like, holy fuck It was that Anyway, we were fine, B. Were youking for a second like You were asking each other you were being home? I I was also like, you think the tree was home It was home of by the community center. It was just a weird sail in there, not. yeah.

They all were in this fun. It was fun. Oh As a parent, it's the greatest. Yeah. And this guy the the He seemed like a goofy guy, but he was covered with some really scary tattoos. Yeah, like of what? You know, of skull things, sword things Tuth Jice Yeah in like face neck hands neck hands. Yeah, not face, but far from. Yeah, well, you know what Even even tough guys like an early bed. Yeah sure No, I love it when it's always such a tease like you know, have a big day with the kids and they fall asleep in the car on the way home and you have to carry them out and you're like, let's get them right into bed. But then they're like, h I think I could do a few more hours y. But it was fun both of the parents picked up on the same bit. U Now we also have overheards written into us by people all over. If you want to send one in, you can send it into SPY at maximumfund d. org And this first one comes from Laurie in Amherst, Massachusetts I was teaching a research methods lab for psychology majors discussing random assignments of participants to experimental groups To demonstrate that random assignment doesn't always work out well, I use the example of college students getting randomly assigned to a roommate freshman year Young woman in the front row said loud. and exasperately Yeah, tell me about it. Try living with a makeout artist. see how you like it. What even like I guess somebody's bringing new people in all the time to make out to make out in college. Yeah, and also like You're what's the artistry A you trying different ways reallyally? Just a real good kisser But like You know, if you're good enough kisser, you're probably going to get things are going progressing. you're like they're l' stop. No.' If you're only making it to makeout, you're not that When I was in U when I worked at a coffee shop, my early twenties A woman that worked there held a makeout party or like and it was for all her friends and it was the best. It was the most fun party. Yeah they had like like Heillo setups and everything. You could make it if you wanted to or you didn't have to, but it was o my. was it was like being in like high school again. Do you guys remember when you knew you were good kisser when you're like, Oh, I know how to make up. Oh, waiting for confirmation bagging the table. But do tell me when you he No I just I just I'm curious like I think, you know, because before you have, you just think, o, it's this thing that Yeah' do or whatever and I remember at first that's what it felt like. And then realizing, oh, it's just like rov it You like just feel it out and like you know, go where it goes. Yeah. and you figure out a move. And you figure out your classic move And I just remember it p back into my head going like, o, fuck right, this is just a it's just' like such a knocking word of It's a vibe, right? It's not a My friend in high school is Graham, his name's Graham also. We Our girlfriends compared notes on how we were as a kisser and then she gave him the notes and then he passed the note to me of like, Oh, and how was the note? The note was you drool too much, toooo much drooling. dll too. Yeah. Which when you're brand new to it, you don't know Yeah, you don't no control. What age? This would have been say en something like that Um and we yeah, so we got notes. That was the big note. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And also maybe u him like putting on something that was boring to him on TV try and make out with her. And then when it switched over to Star Trek, the new generation, the next generation, he was kind of like, I was gonna. This is a good one I mean you really had to be a fan if that distracted you from making out. This one where data is all robotic. But you know, if you have a group of friends All kiss each other, get notes together, see what could be worked on. I know later. And find out. yeah. But you know, that's not exactly scientific because you know, you get tired as the night goes on, the tongue gets a little then hold a makeup party weekly. Do like a weekly and then a rotation. but we can't be adding new people as It's got toa be the same people. I need commitment. No one's going to do the Camino, okay? Yeahah. You said you were gonna have the makeup party Um this next one comes from Michael from Lynbrook My girlfriend and I wear at a sh Oh, it's a small town from a horror movie. Exactly. U the show they were at a show that was from Australia. at the top of they introduced themselves as fromr Australia. During the show, they referenced Australian things. They mentioned the Australian cities they were from, and most of all, they clearly had Australian accents After the show, we' out in the lobby and we overhear woman say, Oh my Godd, it took me so long to realize they're from England Then a performer from the show happened to be in the lobby he said, Australia and the wom goes, U even longer then That's great. Oh do you think it was the Thunder fromom Down U? I think it was P the Pan Boy, they werere so great at their shows. Yeah on our anniversary, my wife and I we had too much to drink and then We were debating what puppetry, the penis was and She thought it was like shadow puppets. And I was like, no, I think it's actually them like manipulating their junk. That's what it was. It is, right. But in shadow or actual No, no, like for real first Like they're like pulling the fororeskin and stuff. And it's like, it's amazing how soon it just turns into a piece of plasticine. Like it just really is And this whole show, it's an hour show. We watch the whole thing. I wonder when they realized they were good at manipulating people. Those was Australian, Australia U this last one comes from Kira, parts unknown. I was at the grocery store saw a mom and her kid doing some shopping. As I was walking by them, her son probably around eight years old, brought something to the shopping cart and said Mom, can we get this? It looks delicious. I look over and see he's picked up It's no name brand chicken broth. My mom. Look what I found. It is fun. It's when you're a kid, it's fun to get a thing. Yeah to feel important.
