A Silly Waste Of Resources! (Ep. 161)

0:00 What can I talk about? Well, maybe we're done with the AI images. That would be great. This is due to underwhelming demand. The podcast. Oh, by the way, happy podcast O de Mayo. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's, you know, if you listen to the podcast the day it arrives, then, you know, right now I'm enjoying a Mexican beer as we listen to this.

0:41 Very nice. Just letting you know that, but only one because I've got high cholesterol. Anyway. Yeah, we are Dave, Rachel and Foreman. And coming up on the podcast today, Foreman's wife Ashley has reached a new milestone. Foreman has decided to talk about it on the podcast. He's going to attempt to not be in trouble after she hears this. OK. We're celebrating. Yeah, I'm wondering, I'm curious, I'm wondering if you should have to pass a test before you're even allowed in here. I'm going to say a blanket, yes.

1:23 I'll explain. Where a lot of places where? There are a lot of places you should have to pass a test before you're allowed in. The answer is yes, you're right, Foreman. But anyway, that's coming up. And how far is too far? That's what Rachel has decided to well, we actually are forcing her to talk about. Yeah. Fine, yeah, in just a second. In just a second. But but you know, you could go to our website, underwhelming.ca and you can get a shout out on this podcast. You just shell over a few bucks and we'll shout somebody out. Yes, 20 bucks actually and today we have two shout outs 2 not just one, but. 2 All right, let's go. Yes, we have a shout out to Jerry from Jeff. Happy Mother's Day, Jerry.

2:09 Yes, Happy Mother's Day to Jerry Reedstra from Benny and Josie. We love you and we hope this isn't the only episode you don't listen to. Hey. Hey, Jerry, We met Jerry. She was at our live show and I've known Jerry for several years and so she I know she listens every episode. Oh good. So hopefully she didn't miss this shout. Out what's her handle like crazy Jerry on Instagram, yeah. Crazy. Jerry. Everybody knows and they can follow her. Yeah, that would be bad luck, Jeff, if this is the one episode she misses where you shout out Happy Mother's Day to Jerry. Yes, from Benny and Josie anyway. Happy Mother's Day, Jerry. Happy Mother's Day.

2:50 And let me start a huge shout out, a huge shout out to Master DJ Foreman. Foreman for helping my colleague and I with the music for our school concert, the JKSK students at Academy de la Tamiz. Did I get that right? I don't know. Oh, you don't know. In London they say Merci Foreman. Oh. That's from Karen. Yeah, you need to tell Karen, because she's clearly a school teacher, how to spell your name. There's no E in Foreman. Right, I'm not a foreman. No, it's just Foreman, not. A foreman, Yeah. Right.

3:31 Yeah, lots of lots of people get that wrong. So shout out to Foreman. What was that? What's that story about? Her students are doing a recital and she needed several different pieces of music put together to all go together for their recital. If I can find some for you. So I'm pretending that I know what they're singing about, obviously. Is that baby shark in French? I don't. No. Something about dancing. Right, so you had to stitch together the music.

4:13 Yeah, but they have a nice spring recital this year. So good, good. That's. Nice. Yes. Woman's a perfect person to ask for that. All right, Good. Job. Those are the shoutouts, so thank you and if you need a shout out, go to our website underwhelming.ca. Yes, it's in the dud shop with the merch, but it's in because it's a shop and you can buy it right there and anywhere. And you know, as it gets warmer and warmer, you might maybe want to not wear your underwhelming hoodie. You might want it like an underwhelming T-shirt or something. Yes, those are there too. Should we make tank tops? I feel like so every year we have a tank top party at our house which is called tank tops that rule and so maybe I should make a tank top for my husband. Well. If you want one that rules then it should probably say underwhelming on it, yes.

4:56 Right, yeah, everyone has to wear a tank top to the party and it has to be a funny 1, so there's some good like clever things anyway, Yeah, maybe I'll make. I don't get tank tops and I don't get. Why nobody does either, but having a party where everyone's in a tank top is hilarious. No, it's not. Yeah. It's no, it's not. I don't want to see you, either one of you in a tank top. I don't want to see anybody in a tank top. Tank tops should be banned, no? The tank. Tops, they should be banned. Yes, that's not true. Tank tops are great, especially when it's super hot in the summer. You should have to take a test to be able to wear a tank top. What? How big are your guns? How big? Are your guns? How white are your guns?

5:37 Maybe you should wear a tank top. Yeah, where does your red? Line stop mine are always. White. Mine are white, as we discussed last week. Yes, OK. Also, we discussed last week something that maybe I've realized is too far because Foreman yelled at me so. Oh, and that's the only reason she realized that maybe that wasn't. Are we talking about the horse pictures again? Because yeah, I I thought it was the the latest batch of horse. It was in dressage with the horse. Riding a horse. Yeah, you're riding a horse. I initially chuckled. And then I thought, now it's just getting mean spirited.

6:19 It. Wasn't mean spirited, actually someone asked for it on the other picture and they said now we need a photo of Foreman in full dressage. Well, now I got to find it and I was like, yeah, coming right up, Foreman in full dressage. Now you just, you know, you realize, you know, at at the risk of people groaning here, you're beating a dead horse. Stop it. Stop it, Rachel. That's my initials because I know Foreman hates it, he and I and I think he's made. Dislikes it but like I think he's really traumatic Click. Come on, there's a difference between dislike and hate.

7:01 He really hates it. It's obvious he hates it. I can tell. I can like well. I know that. He has this is not acting sometimes, you know, sometimes we do what we need to do for the better for for the bit, of course, but but I could see. Not for the bit, yeah. He's not comfortable with any of. It all right, all right. We're not. Comfortable. It was Robert that said a foreman in a video of Foreman in full gear riding dressage. And I said yes, that's hilarious, OK. Well, thanks for nothing Bob to. Me. All right, fine. Foreman will stop it. It was a It's just.

7:41 It's very funny. No, it's not funny. OK, all right, I get it. You know, fine. To quote everyone's favorite movie, I hope you kids see what a silly waste of resources this is. Yes, yeah. What movie is that? For us, Christmas vacation cheese come. On. You know, all we hear about AI is the the data centers and the water it needs and the electricity and how terrible it is to live. And you're just like making them churn out all these images, yes, for no reason. Yes, well, I do believe that artificial intelligence is useful.

8:21 That's a good word. It's useful. The tool is in particular useless, like you're using artificial intelligence for a titter. A titter? Yeah. Yes, it was a titter. Yes. It was a titter I because I get that you're mad now I get. No, it's big. I don't. Know why you didn't? See it? A couple of weeks ago it was. Many years ago did we start this show with the The Three? Of us, No you. Don't. It's been that long that you've known. You've known that long. Yeah, well, OK. We know the horse thing bugs him. That's why we that's why from Oh yeah, no it. Doesn't look.

9:07 We have had this discussion. I believe that we could actually get someone to help Foreman with his. He's like, I don't think Foreman likes horses. And I don't blame him because because. You're like, really the horse at some point. Might have, you know, he may need to talk this over, you know, and he's talked about it with us and and yet we continue to tease him. Right. Yeah. Somehow you know when you're encouraged to talk about your concerns and your feelings with others in this scenario, somehow it's made it worse. So, well, I. I'm sorry about the horse. The second horse pictures. Well, yes, I'm OK.

9:50 I'm sorry. OK, you're apologetic, but they're still. Still very funny. I like it when Foreman's voice gets as you know. When whenever his voice gets squeaky, I enjoy. That right? Because usually that means he's he's annoyed, right? The higher the pitch, the higher the squeak, the more he's annoyed. Yeah, but in this case he's been very quiet. Well, so that means he's actually mad. Yes. So OK, we won't we won't make any more horse pictures for a view. Because this is you start an AI battle like this and it can only escalate, right? And by the way. And now other people are sending us AI photos of all three of us, actually. I have 5 great that I haven't used yet or shown anyone yet that Dave Prowery has made. 5.

10:37 Mostly directed at you, Rachel. Some directed at you, Dave. Wonderful. I mean, I, I don't I don't really have a dog or a horse in this fight, but OK. But I, you know, I, I thought we'll. Stop it now. I thought the last one was a little, yeah. Sure. No, we'll show this one last one and then we'll stop. What is it? It's already been made. Resources have already been wasted. OK. Based on your last. Made a collage of me not doing things, yeah. Dave made it. Dave died and. It's funnier than any of the horse pictures. Yes, it really. Is it was Rachel not playing hockey, not skiing, not golfing, not playing ukulele?

11:22 Ukulele is particularly funny. And Dave and I, this Dave and I went back and forth thinking is there anything else he could add to that? And I thought afterwards and we posted it as revenge. And thank you David Powery for helping with the revenge. I thought there is one more thing that should have been included in Now the resources have been wasted for this one last moment and then we can all move on together. OK. In this one, well, it's hard to see. It's hard. We'll have to put it up. Oh, look at all that butter in the freezer. I'm. Wearing the same shirt.

12:02 Rachel beside a chest freezer overflowing with the. Butter on sale. Yeah. Actually, that's quite good. Get the happy. Smile on your face. You are happy cheap, cheap butter. And now, just because it's made, Dave, here's you in a black truck with all your roadkill. Oh yeah, oh wait em all I got. Your roadkill. Look at all I. Got em all That is me Yeah, look at. That that's a good. One look at all the ones I've killed. That's funny. This is due to underwhelming demand, the podcast that's perfect for this time of year because we have a mom. Yes.

12:58 And and a couple of mothers. Mothers. You know, Mother, Mother. It's quit the accent. Yeah, Mother. Oh, 'cause you. As in mother, never mind. Beepers. There we go. Thank you. OK, joke's not funny if. It's funnier now it's. True that you do. OK, it's up here, Rachel. Reach up there. You'll catch it before it goes over your head. No, it's long gone. Let's just move on. I'm wondering, I'm I'm wondering, should you be required to take a driver's test to qualify for a membership at Costco?

13:40 Sure, yeah. And not a driver's test in your vehicle, a shopping cart driver's test. And of course the answer is yes. I came across an entire article about the mayhem the Mad Max Thunderdome that is Costco, and it's all to do with how people, when they go into Costco, forget who they are, forget the rules of life and just become idiots. Yeah, just do whatever you feel like. You don't go against the flow, you know, You can't just drive in the middle, you can't leave your cart in the way, you can't just stop wherever you want. But you can.

14:31 You can do all of those things. No, you. Well, you shouldn't. And people do it all the time. Yes, you should have to take a shopping cart driver's test, don't you think? Yeah, that should come with your membership as soon as you sign up. Yes, you. Have how we give you this? Yes, how do you drive a shopping cart? Right. And every time you renew, you have to take it again. No exceptions. Yes. Every year. And if you're listening. To this going like a shopping cart course. If you're listening to this going, I don't know what they're talking about. You're the problem. Right. Right, you are the problem. But thanks for listening, yeah. If you're slowly walking down the middle of the aisle, stop it. If you're stopping at every single sample station for more than just a a grab, buy you should you? You know what you shouldn't even have? You shouldn't be allowed to stop at the sample stage. It should be a moving lane only.

15:28 Costco is a store that I have a a love hate relationship with. I do sort of like it and I like what it offers, but I also hate when I'm at Costco and it's, you know, Mad Max. Of course, like I had to go to, I went. To everybody feels that way. Costco has great deals, great quality items like I like the store and what they sell, right? I hate going there. Yeah, there's a part of me that now I, we tend to go, we'll go early on a Saturday or a Sunday because my wife is off and she wants to go. And if you do that, you can sort, you avoid, certainly you avoid the sampling because that isn't happening.

16:10 So you can get that out of the way. And I also find that people that arrive at that hour are in a bit of a hurry anyway. And I don't mind that because my, the way I approach Costco and this is where my wife and I have arguments because I will say to her, what are we, what are we looking for? Do you have a list? What is it you're looking for? Because my goal when I get in there most mostly is to get in and get out as quickly as I can. I always, I'm always in a hurry when I go there. I don't want to be there for a long period of time. And I hate it when they move stuff because then I'm there longer. Oh yeah, and they move. You're. Hunting for things, but I. Think they they do that on purpose because they want you to be in there. Longer.

16:51 That's probably true. They want. You to walk by something else and buy that too. Exactly. It's very clever how they do all of that stuff, but it's quite annoying too. Yeah. What are your top complaints? My top complaints are people walking down the middle of the aisle with the cart. Yep OK. People stopping at the ends of aisles and and stopping up traffic with samples. Yep, sampling. Right. And the slow, the slow walkers. Yeah. And the meanderers, the ones that just go wherever they don't like, yeah, they're they they have no sense you. Stop at the end of the aisle. You wait for a clearing and then you turn. Yeah, like, no, just like they have no sense of anybody else in there. They're only in it for themselves. They don't care about anybody else. It is a, it's a, it is a little fend for your selfie because, well, it is everyone.

17:41 Everyone's doing that. So I feel, I do feel like we all have to do that. Then that's my point, is all those complaints, you're complaining about yourselves. It's you. You're doing it. It's unavoidable. It's inevitable that at some point you will be slow in an aisle. At some point you'll be parked in the middle. At some point you'll be stopped. At the end. You do it. You do all of it. Everyone does. Everybody. Does. Everybody does. Well, I think everybody does, but I think there are people that try very hard not to. Now this is where my wife and I differ because again, I'm in a hurry when I get there and she's like, I'm not in a hurry, but I am girl because I want to get in and I want to get out. She will stop because we're shopping together. If I don't know what she's looking for or if she's just spotted something, she'll stop, which makes me stop and then she'll turn to me and say you need to move the cart out of the way.

18:42 I'm like, well, then you got to give me like, I don't know that you're stopping. So we're going to blame. We're going to blame Happy Mother's Day, Jana. Yeah. No, I. She please Birthday. I had a birthday. Yeah. Happy birthday on the same day. On the same day. Exact same day we had this discussion because I said, I said to her, she goes, will you leave the cart? And I said that's because you stop randomly. And I don't know, dude, I don't like to leave the cart. Yeah, I don't like to be in the, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If the person you're with goes whoop, I'm stopping. It's. Impossible to avoid, but you'll be there.

19:22 On a Wednesday night and that's not my typical time, but we had to. We went on a Wednesday because Jeremy's gluten free and we had to go find people were saying Costco has great gluten free snacks because he was like, I have no snacks. So I'm like, you're going to come with me because I don't know what you like. I don't know. And so he did so, and we had to bring Kendall. Julia. Was that a theater thing? Bad enough to be gluten free, but to have to go to Costco for it too? Well, and he did. He's gluten free and low fat, so a lot of gluten free stuff is high fat. So anyway, that's a different thing. So. So Kendall wants to push the cart and I'm like. No. If you're going to push the cart, you are right behind me, but you don't get on my you don't hit my heels right.

20:06 I am on all over her about stay to the side, follow me like, let's go. She's 8. She did a pretty good job. No, she shouldn't be anywhere near a cart. But I was, well, I I did take. Over the cart, No. No, she's 8. She's not going in the cart. I see all kinds of eight-year olds in carts. Oh my God no. She can walk that. She's 8. Maybe If you're 2, fine. Do more to avoid her getting hit by. Another kids to Costco too. That's another thing. Well, she had to come. Kids. She had to come because it was that was the time we had to go and. See there you are, home alone child. The carts all over the place there. Were three of us. There you go, and the big. Part. You actually did.

20:47 OK, but I was all over her about be careful with the cart, don't move to the side and then I did take over eventually. So I think maybe bare minimum is the cart test once a year mandatory, OK. And that might actually be fun. Set it up in the parking lot. Have a little fun little. Yeah, yeah, Shopping cart rodeo in the parking lot. Including, by the way, the ones that you ride on. Because those people are all over the fucking place. Oh yeah, they get. On the ride on carts and they're going backwards down the aisles and they're. Oh yeah, they're doing the. Wrong way and they're turning at the wrong corner. They are all over the place because they're motorized and they think they can. Stop it, they can. Yeah, they. Can they will? You're right.

21:27 Yeah. I should do this for like a master's thesis in like psychology, like, like, like analyze the psychology of people with their carts in Costco and what's what's happening and like that. That would fascinate me. It's once you get in, I got to get my stuff, get out of my way. Yeah, that's why there's so many people. I think the always actual solution is if you limit the amount of people in there in given time, you got to wait outside into one in one out once you read a certain limit. But they're not going to do that because they're going to make less money of. Course not, no. But that's the only way to make us happy, so they'd rather us be in their miserable and still getting their money anyway. Remember there was line UPS of COVID. We had to, yeah, Yeah.

22:14 Yeah we're still going to go even with all these problems we're still going we're still not keeping us away so love it 0 incentive for them to care they. Love. That we're talking about this. This is due to underwhelming demand. The podcast that knows because Rachel told us. Rachel told us that moms just want to be left alone on Mother's Day.

22:55 Now, that doesn't necessarily mean it's OK for you to go golfing, unless you plan to take the kids with you. You cannot golfing. Dad cannot go golfing on Mother's Day, no. One of the busiest days of the year at the golf course. Yeah, fuck all those guys. Unless it's the moms out there, that's fine. It isn't. They should not be out on mother. 'S day. It's a busy day. If you're taking your mom, fine, but if you're leaving mom at home and going golfing, unless you've brought the kids. I mean, are you ever taking your mom golfing? I would never have taken them. Well, maybe Jeremy would. Jeremy's mom golfs. OK. She's never golfed. I don't think she's ever golfed in her whole life, ever.

23:36 I don't believe my mother ever golfed in her whole life either. But you know what? My kids are getting into golf now, so they're. OK. Now. Four of us go together. It's a perfect day. Then you stay home. Jeremy takes the kids golfing, but that. That would be perfect. Yeah. There you go. That would be a great idea. I. Told you it's a great activity to give you Gray hair. Golfing with your kids. Oh yeah, Oh yeah, that would be great. Yeah. Yeah, among many other things. Yeah, like when your oldest child becomes a teenager. Oh boy. And the morning of Harley's 13th birthday. Happy birthday Harley. Happy birthday. Harley, you look in the mirror and discover is that what I think it is, a single Gray hair.

24:20 No. On Ashley's head. Yeah, I know it's not yours because you've already got it. Yeah, there's plenty here. You've got a lot. There's a lot you've. Got a lot? Yeah, that's all those. Happy Mother's Day, Ashley. The AI horse thinks keep giving them Gray hair. Rachel, thanks for that. Yep, and more and more. One single time to hit the salon. Or or is she going to embrace it? Because some people like to embrace it. She immediately plucked it out. Ouch. I would too if I but I have no Gray hair because I'll never have it. I didn't know your daughter was a a teenager. 13 now. Teen, 13 and.

25:03 Julia will be thirteen this year too, 'cause they're the same age. I can't believe that. How's the attitude? It's just, like, so great. We're best friends every day. She always wants to talk. Yeah. Yeah, mine too. Back mine has nothing to. Say to me until it's bedtime and then she has so much to say and I don't want to talk at that time. And then she says, mom, why don't you want to talk to me? I said I want to talk to you all day and you ignore me so. And then when it's time for bed, oh, I want to come give you a hug and I want to tell you about my day and I want to play around and be silly and I want to think, no, no, no. We could have done that all day.

25:43 Yeah. Go to bed. Nice try. You're a teen, we're going to learn self regulation. And then she's mad. And then she wakes up mad and. Oh, oh, you. This is the tip of the teen iceberg. Yeah, I have. I have someone who's 19. Yeah. I feel like by then it's getting a little better though, isn't it? Well, I don't know, because the discussions, you know, there are a lot of this like whenever she goes out, if she's going to and we should go back to the Gray hair thing. I don't know how we got sidetracked, but whenever she's going out, like she finished her first year at Fanshawe was her last exam was last Friday. So we're going out and we're partying, we're going, we're going downtown and we're going to party at Cool's or somewhere. And now the last words that her mother says to her as she walks out are don't be an asshole.

26:43 So you know that would that gives you an indication of what some of the discussions are like in the house. Yeah, yeah. There's a lot of, so you know, there's a lot that happens in the six years that are coming for you guys. But anyway, let's talk about Gray hair. Yeah, well, so there's gonna be more, clearly. Oh yeah. More Gray hair or more? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But she and she already regular Ashley already regularly goes to a stylist and goes to the salon and gets like highlights and low lights I guess. I don't know. I don't know what it, I don't know what goes on there. I just know that it costs a lot of money. Sure does. Stacey and I just know that when she comes home I gasp my jaws on the floor I can't believe how beautiful she is every time she comes home good.

27:30 It's just amazing. It looks perfect. It's only. We don't have husbands like Foreman who, yeah, really noticed and gosh, yes, every time that would be. Great time. It's amazing. And so she's just gonna like, she's probably gonna up that to make sure there's no Gray. Have the have the stylist pluck any she sees. Right. Which some people have said, maybe, you know, maybe you're not supposed to pluck the Grays, but I don't think she cares. She's plucking them. Yeah. Well, here's something else that I would like to add to this. And, and again, this comes from experience, is that if there's one Gray hair, there's probably more. Gray hairs are like mice, aren't they? Well, there's one.

28:12 There's more. There's more now they may be hiding, Yup, but they'll. I hope they're hiding white. Vice they will eventually come out. And shit everywhere. I was at my stylist and I, I said to her, well, I don't have any Gray hair. And she was like. Yeah, you're like. Well, there's some in the back here. I was like, what? Have you ever noticed that you have? Well, I. Can't be the back of my head. Right, because your your Gray hairs are not necessarily Gray. I think mine would probably go white anyway. They're.

28:53 Just white. Because I'm I am fair and so I think it would just be white. You need to keep going to the because if you allow that to happen, Rachel, right, we won't be able to tell where your hair starts and you, just like we won't be able to tell. We won't be able to tell just. Be like, what's that movie Powder? Remember that movie Powder with the guy that was like albino? I remember. Albino Casper the Friendly Ghost. Yeah, thanks. That's it. Casper, 2 episodes. Now where I'm very white. OK, Yak yak, yak, yak. Vanilla. Vanilla. Right, but it's only in the back, eh? Only in the back. Yeah, party.

29:34 In the back business, in the front business, we're playing bridge at 3 in the back, yeah. Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure that's right? Well, it's covered, I guess. I don't know. Are you sure? You may be like, why do I get the feeling you'll be spending some time in front of a mirror? Soon I might actually laughter this. And asking it questions like mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the fair? It's you. You're very fair, which was a great. Year too fair. You're translucent Who? Are you another woman? That's been my plight in life, my entire life. Well, it's been. So, so white. And Ashley is still a few years away from her age, even starting with a 4 yet.

30:19 And the yes, she's OK. Isn't she? How was the reaction? What was the reaction? She was horrified. Oh yes, of course. As she should be. Probably very pleased to be hearing this right now too, but. Glad that you're talking about that on your podcast. Wondering if this will give her a few more. She might well This is why her. AI photos of Foreman, Just as you know, revenge. Oh see This is why I wanted to help her with the discussion and before this talked about it on the radio to get some people to make her feel a bit better and I. You think ease her through this? Ease her through this. People saying that I was 20 found my first Gray hairs. I talked to someone this week who says I'm currently 24 and have found many Gray. This.

31:04 It's all happening now and I'm 24. Yeah, some people go Gray early. And I mean, you can always color it if you want, but it's a trend now to to embrace your Gray hair and and grow it out. They're not embracing it. They're plucking it. They're dying it. They're, Yeah. The common theme is, is that I think she was the one that said, well, I've since I've started my new job, I've noticed Gray hairs. And I'm only 24. So naturally you asked what kind of job is it? And she said, well, I work with children. Yeah, well, that'll do it. That'll do it. And the 20 year old works with children and we start seeing a theme here. Maybe. Yeah, my. Ashley has to live with me. She has Foreman and two kids, including one teenager. We're on to something.

31:52 Tracks. Tracks, yeah. Music. This is due to underwhelming demand. It's Dave, Rachel and Foreman. And thank you for listening to the podcast.

33:19 You can follow us on social media. What do we got this week? Yeah, we got a message from TikTok because TikTok, we're on TikTok. Of course we are. Yes, all that talk about Gray hair. We must be on TikTok. Of course, biased devil's Advocate has left a comment on. I like that biased devil. Bias. Devil's advocate. Really good handle. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, I like that. On the video of you Rachel saying that your momma's favorite child is Jeremy, biased devil advocate argues mom's favorite is the dog. It's never the kids, it's the pets. Well, that there is something to that because when I got Roxy, who hates everyone but loves my mom, my mom when she first met Roxy didn't really engage with her, didn't care. She didn't go over and say hi.

34:09 And I think Roxy liked that. And so now anytime we say her name, and she's under my desk now so I don't want to say her name, she gets so excited, you know, and, and every. Time she sees. My mom or she even hears it on a video. She's like her ears perk up and my mom loves her right back. She says she doesn't, but she does. OK, I didn't really. I didn't sense that that was what this message was about. Rachel, I'm wondering, is the dog your favorite? No. She's not. Oh no. Are you sure? Yeah, because because she doesn't like Jeremy. I feel like I love her a little bit less. Oh, I thought that was a pro, not a con.

34:50 Not a con, no. Because it it's, it's annoying so and it's constant. Got it. Anyway, last week we had a message from Peter because I talked about that inner ear thing that people can do and. He could do it, yeah. And he could do it. And then I wrote back to him and said, when you do that, can you still hear? Or is it just muffled a bit? Because I have no idea. I've never heard of anyone doing this. He says, yes, I can still hear, but it's just muffled. It just sounds, it's kind of like a rumbling that most people describe. I think that's fascinating that people can do that. I. Know you do for some reason. Well, I just, you know, I, I've never heard of it. Because you can't do it. Because I can't do it exactly. We will a message. You can go to our website and send a message there. And we have one from Lindsay Devoe, our friend out in Nova Scotia, right?

35:37 Hey guys, listening to episode 159 and the reminder of getting to fuck off for birthdays. I just had my birthday this past weekend and and I didn't get to fuck off and go to a hotel and I spent it going to gymnastics and a teal up pool party. I don't know what that means since my my husband is away for the next two months. He's away for my birthday and Mother's Day. Also away in the fall for our anniversary. Is he? Is he in the Navy? He's. A sailor. So he's away, so she got to cart all the kids around, she says. Now I'm listening to episode 160. I thought I was going to be Team Foreman when it comes to ice cream cake, as ice cream cake is my favorite, but I'm actually Team Ashley.

36:20 OK, there you go. So sorry, Foreman. Boo. Yeah. Boo. OK. Yeah. Not on your side. I think this is about the being away for your birthday thing from Lori, OK, saying on Spotify. You can always leave a comment on Spotify, Lori Reed says. I was away for Easter. It was a hockey tournament. My birthday was the weekend after my mother who said we can have Easter on your birthday. So I ended up cooking for 15 people on my birthday, including ordering my own fucking cake. Oh God. Ouch. Thanks mom for suggesting we have a Easter on my birthday and B I'm hosting. Did mom not bring the cake?

37:03 Mom should have at least gotten the cake. Well, she Lori at least ordered it. You better check. To see whether you're your mom's favorite because I sent you I'm. Sorry, Lori, I'm sorry that was your birthday. Yeah. Speaking of cakes, Jenna has also messaged us on our website and she says I'm team Ashley. I always save the favorite part of a meal or food for the last bite. So with a DQ cake, it's definitely the cookie fudge part last. Yeah. No. It's not no, that's wrong. And then I'm not entirely sure. Bang on, Jenna. I'm not entirely sure specifically what Megan has commented on on Spotify either, but it's on the episode Foreman V Windsor. OK.

37:48 Thanks, Rachel. Thanks for that, Rachel. But Megan says please don't be sorry. This may not be hard to believe. I love the shock value. I think being sorry about making the pictures probably. And I can speak in a lot of hyperbole. Foreman, when are your mom and I hanging out? Signed penis girl. Yeah, right. Going to have to go to Carlton Place, Megan. Penis Girl OK, I have another message. Handle, don't you think? Yeah, we might just stop using Megan all together and just say. Yeah. Penis girl. So that we know who it is. Yes. Yeah, I have another message from Jen Keenan, from Keenan and Keenan, hey.

38:32 And Oh yeah, she says, hey, Rach, I can manipulate those ear muscles. Another thing with the ear, the sound and the ear, it's just like a very muted, staticky sound. It doesn't block out other sound. That is fascinating to me that people can do that. I don't even know. You're living in a completely different universe. No, it's way less fascinating now, now that we know. Yeah, you can do it, but it doesn't. It doesn't actually block anything else. Yeah, but I was. Like earmuffs, kind of, you know. Yeah, yeah, like. Quiets down the background sound I just. Like if I could do, if I could tune. Out my kids like that, That'd be amazing. Amazing. I don't, I don't know, but you've formed. It so loud. Don't you wish sometimes while we're doing this, a.

39:14 Week. Oh my God, don't even say it. I know what you're going to say. Stop. She only wants to tune out the kids and yet says the dog isn't her favorite. Yeah.
