Ghosts Love Attics! (Ep. 148)

0:00 I have a ghost story. You don't have a ski story. No, we didn't go. It was so cold. This is due to underwhelming demand. The podcast. It is working hard to not be like this winter, which is just plain stupid. Yeah, really. Stupid cold. Well, a stupid windy. Stupid snowy, stupid long. I felt like last winter was like this, but this one seems worse already. I think it's that's way worse, yes. It's way.

0:43 So now that you describe it that way, Dave, I think we do have a lot in common with this window, so. Good point. Stupid cold. Stupid Windy. Yeah, by the way, if you're sick of the cold, listen to this record heat wave in Australia, where temperatures, right, it's summertime there, right? Temperatures are soaring above 484840. 8 that's I don't think I've experienced, 48 I don't. Think you would? Have. No. A. Friend of ours is in Australia right now. Former Co worker of ours are you? Sure. Or have they melted? Well, I don't know, I might message her and see how she's doing. OK, well, well, welcome to this podcast.

1:24 Later, Rachel has a ghost story. An actual ghost? Yeah, certified you can. Tell me your ghost stories. I'm fascinated with them. I have never had. But nothing too scary 'cause I don't know. Foreman apparently needs a new shovel. There's the first world problem and I am going to begin today because I'm worried that I'm going to run out of clothes. I. Which of the three of us has the scariest story? Well, that's frightening for everyone. If I don't have clothes anymore, well. Sure is. You want to not be free the. YouTube views are going to go either way down or way up that would.

2:05 Be pretty not It's not pretty at all because if you go to the mall to shop, where do you go? Where do you go to get clothes that would be suitable for you, Foreman or Rachel? Where do you go to get close? Because you're not going to. You're not probably going to garage. No, see, I used to, but no, not now you can't. I would go. I go. I like to go to Reitman's. I like that story. Are you still around? Oh yeah. Mall stores are hard because I used to be. Maybe you could go to like a a Boathouse or an Urban Planet or a Blue Note, but I don't think I can do any of those. I can't. Do that anymore. H&M maybe, but it all it all kind of sucks and falls apart.

2:48 Yeah, I don't really. Like the men shop? I don't like each. Old men shop well. You too, Yeah. Thank you for putting the old I'll. Tell you the there's only two stores that basically are left for me. I'll, but I'll let Dave proceed first. Well. OK, so the Bay has now shuttered. Yeah, they're, no, they're no longer. Around and it's hilariously at at least one the White Oaks location turned into a spirit Halloween in the mall. Yeah, it did. It was so. Perfect. Of course it did. Immediately, Oh, Gordon Spirit Halloween flew in there as fast as they could. Yeah. Well, here in the North End of the city, we have Masonville, the mall, Yeah. And lo and behold, the other day they close their doors.

3:32 We no longer have the gap. The gap closed gap. Gone. Odd. That is your store. The Gap was the last. Place I could go. You would always buy Gap jeans. I knew that. Jeans and I'd get a deal on them too. Yeah. So when the new year arrived, we were in the mall at one point and all of a sudden there was a sign that said store closing. And we went and we, I actually know some of the women there, but you know, but first name, we're on a first name basis. Oh my. God. That's how often we go and then, you know, I have my granddaughter and we like to shop at the kids Gap and what happened? Oh, some rent issue, something like that. Something happened anyway.

4:21 Oh, they're gone. They closed on. I don't. Know. Oh no. They're gone. What will you do? I don't know. Both of your stores. But turns out then I started wondering maybe it's my fault. Hmm, how's that? Well, because you did point out that I like to get my jeans at the Gap, right, but I never like to pay full price. No. No one does. Well, no, not at the gap. No one wants to pay if you. Don't. Want to pay full price anywhere? Do you? There's no reason to ever pay full price at the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Ripa. Everything's always on sale like. Next week something will go on sale and then and then what they'll do is they'll they'll have a sail rack and then they'll give you an extra 40% off the sales stuff.

5:04 Yeah, Yeah. That's why I don't think that the regular price is not real. Like no one in the right mind is paying the regular place at those stores because of so many of those sales. Yes, there's literally nobody knows to pay. Selling the quality of single use clothing. I'm not paying full price. It will fall apart after I wash it, it's the same. As the Bay, when the Bay was around, they were a little bit more high end, but stuff always went on sale. Yeah, I could always get a deal somewhere. And then I started wondering, is that my fault? So I bought a bunch of stuff online. Yeah, I didn't even go to the store. I know. And then I thought, it's very. Easy to shop online? Well, my worry now is where will you shop? I don't know.

5:46 Will I run out of clothes? I am that because I know that those are your two stores and where will and where do men shop? Well, first of all, isn't it only where do I get? Jeremy's clothes from. Well, the gap online is still around, yeah. So and it's only that one location, right? Yes, but that's it. We don't have one. There used to be one in the South End I believe at the mall and. It's long gone. There is a nap outlet. Factory store on the South end of town. I don't like, I'm not an outlet guy. I don't like outlet. Like cheap gap? If I wanted that, I'd go to Old Navy. OK, I'm not going there. I well. That may be your only option now, but there's. One of those in the same Plaza, so. Yeah, well, there's an Old Navy up here in this end, but I haven't set foot in an Old Navy for a long time. And my reason, Old Navy, is it always seems like it's a mess. Sorry.

6:35 Yeah. It always seems cluttered. It is a mess. Yeah, and I don't enjoy shopping. Maybe was like Zeller's was Zeller's was always a mess. Also not. Also not around. Yeah, also no longer so. My dad shops at like tip top tailors. He'll go. There not going there what no no one no one shops I'm tip top. Not all of that, wow, but it's like sweaters and stuff. I'm not that's. Still in business? I don't wear a lot of sweaters but I'm not going to tip top tailors. I might start doing a lot of my shopping. Is Costco Costco? Don't do it. I got stuff for Jeremy there and sometimes they have gap closed.

7:17 Sometimes. Sometimes, yeah, sometimes they do. I'm telling you Dave, once you just accept it and learn it, you will love it and you'll never even think about anywhere else is winners and Marshalls. Honestly, I never really find anything I'd like there, I don't know why. Find everything. Women jump there a lot. That is his go to there's. Nowhere. I mean, that's it. Yeah, that's it for you. That's handy. You know, like Under Armour, There's an we have a Under Armour outlet in the South. I don't do the outlet I'm. Not good, but all that stuff shows up at winners. There's Armour. There's yeah, there's Gap. There's Calvin Klein. There's all of an outlet store. Yeah, I know. I'm not going. There well, Winners is kind of an outlet store.

7:59 I mean they get all the sell offs. They get to sell. I don't know anyway. I mean, it's all fine, whatever. It's all made and. Then I just found out. I just found out. That's not bad enough for the the Masonville Beer Store is closing. Yeah. I heard that and I thought of you immediately. Me too. Like there's only the meeting. Up there, dude. I don't know. London only has 6 left. Is that right after that closes after that? Oh, that's. Yeah, To be honest, the only thing I get at the Beer Store now when I go there is I rid of my empties. Yes, that's all I can, right. I don't. Well, now you can buy beer at the grocery store and blame Doug Ford for that. Yeah, I want my $0.10 a can somewhere, yeah. Where am I going to take my empties? Doug, you better figure that out. Doug's House.

9:00 This is due to underwhelming demand. It's the podcast that if it were a Winter Olympic sport, I believe we probably would be curling because curling's very Canadian. Do we have to be curling? Yeah, well, curling's very Canadian and there's just enough going on to maybe keep you from falling asleep. You'll drift in and out. Yes. OK, we are definitely not ski mountaineering the new sport in this year's Woodrow Olympics. You're. In this, no I haven't. Mountaineering involves quote climbing mountains, either on skis or carrying them, and then descending on skis. Wow.

9:46 No, thank you. Cool. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, like the only. Break dancing at the last Olympics. So, yeah, yeah, well, that won't, that won't be back. Yeah, I mean from Australia. I don't know. Why would anybody ever go? You know what I want to do. You know what I think I want to do? Ski Mountaineering. Climb the mountain, Yeah, when we ski. Down it. Where do I learn how to do that? Well, they're in the when you're in the Max. That's probably just what people do in that area. Like, yeah. I think I will like to watch it if they find a way to cover, but I don't know how they're gonna do. You know why you how you climb it on skis or you take them off and climb with your boot. But that's still like, I feel it's. Gonna be a bit of both.

10:28 I don't know, we'll just have to watch. We'll just have to watch. This week starts this weekend too. That's amazing. Yeah. Coming. It's coming. Well, great, I can't help with that at all because I my shovel's broken so. I would be terrible. Might be a. Terrible. You're not climbing any. Mountaineering. When you say broken like in half. Not quite, but it is in a sad state. Oh well. The It's funny you should bring that up because. It's very snowy. I looked at my shovel yesterday and I thought, what am I doing here? Like, what am I? What am I? What am I doing here? How am I doing this? How is this still working? Because the bottom, if you're watching this, if you're listening to the podcast, I can't really describe the bottom of my shovel accurately enough, but it's like this like, you know.

11:18 It's like a WAVY line. It's a WAVY like half of it is worn away or plastic. Or. Yeah, yeah, 'cause it's plastic. Hmm. Yeah, and you're really? Digging at the ice with that thing, aren't you? Well, I've been using it a lot, let's put it that way. Yeah, like at times 3 or 4 times a day. Yeah. And the ice wall from the plow does a number on it. Yes, that's not fun either. I do have a, a snow blower which I've brought out twice I think. But most of the time I try to look at what's out there and go, well, that's exercise, so I'll do it right. You know, it's not now everything I read for people that are getting older and older, it's not a great thing for you to be doing out in the cold. It's heart attacks that are results of shovel. Yeah, it's insane.

12:10 So I'm taking. My life into my own hands when I go out there and shovel. I hope you have a real snow blower though because a neighbor of mine has one of those smaller electric ones. No. Why? And he's just, and trying to get at that ice wall is like. Yeah, I know they're. Just the. Silliest. Thing for like an hour. I was whatever I the. Last snow he was already out there do working on that. I went out after shovel my whole driveway and finished and went in and he was still at it. Yes, because I only had a shovel and my shovel sucks. Wow. Yeah. And but when you have one of those, I think you're just determined. Yes. I bought it. I'm using. It for it, I'm using this damn thing, you know it's. Snow slower and we haven't used it a lot. We've only used it one time this year. Otherwise, what we're both shoveling. But you are definitely casually using the word we a lot. Yes.

12:57 Well, I do shovel. Do you and snow blow? Oh, you OK? I don't cut the grass, but I do those two things. Yeah, but well, actually, Janet does help me with shoveling some Ashley. Shovel quite a bit too, actually. Yeah, we went out the other day. It's nice to have help. It is, but that is actually part of my problem. Because when you use the same shovel year after year, yes, and it gets worse and worse, yes, you just adapt to it, Yes. And when someone else comes in, she's very quick to point out, you know the shovel is terrible, right? Yes. Yes. But you, yeah, in my case, I want her to see that because I need the proof when I need complain about it.

13:38 Yeah, well, because eventually I'm going to have to say I need a new shovel and I'll get. I'm not saying that. I was just going. To say just go buy a new shovel. So ours has a wide plastic bottom and the handle though instead of being straight in at a 90° angle is like like a 45°. Angle at this point. And it was a really good shovel, brand new. It's a metal shaft. It's very heavy duty. It's got a really sharp metal strip on the bottom of the plastic shovel, so you can really get at that ice that's all peeling off now and all wonky at the bottom and then the handles on a huge angle. So you're really like beside the shovel as you're trying to lift the snow. How did?

14:21 The metal handle bend. It's the heavy stuff at the bottom every time, and you try, and because the shovel's so wide, you try and feel it, but it's too heavy and it ends up bending. So it turns out I'm stronger than the shovel, which on one hand makes me feel better. Yeah, but it's also a disaster to use. Why won't you you get a new shovel? Because I can't be the guy at what? At Home Hardware, Canadian Tire, whatever. Going in during a snowstorm just to buy a brand new shovel? You don't want to be. That guy, I just don't. You can't do it. I can't do it when they're sold because that's when people need them. Yes, and that's when they Jack up the price and they stick them right When you walk in, there they are and you.

15:05 Go. What? That's exactly what I'm looking. For shovel, but a shovel, no. What's the problem? You don't want to be. I don't want to be that guy either. I hear you. There's no that guy, There's no guy. It's just everybody needs a shovel. It's winter. And they they throw the junky ones at the front like I want to do researching and find a good one or wide one a bigger one time. 'Cause now it's bent well. It's lasted for years. I've logged past that form and I just go and I get AI, get a shovel. I'll get the cheapest 1 I can get and then it ends up doing what mine has done. But I just I hate buying a snow shovel. Yeah, I hate it. Hey, hey. I don't know how much. The cost strong enough Word. Yeah, this ones been so good for so long. I have no idea how much it costs, so I can't. I'm just going to hate the price of a show. I don't know, probably like $100 or something. I don't know.

15:56 I'm going to hate it. Just assuming. I don't know. I just hate buying a snow shovel. And part of the reason I hate getting a snow shovel is because I really nobody, I, I don't mind cutting my lawn. As you know, even though cutting your lawn is similar to shoveling snow in that you have to do it no matter what, you got to cut your lawn and then it grows. When you cut your lawn, magically it grows and then you have to keep cutting them again. Yes, snow. To me, shoveling snow is such a complete waste of time. It's just a waste of time. Got to get around, you have to shovel it.

16:37 I know, but I hate it. Yeah, I hate shoveling. He likes that I. I do it and I like my like, I'm very anal about my driveway. I want it to be clean. I want it to be drivable. I don't. I do look after it, but I hate it. And I've often thought maybe it's not that bad if you just don't shovel. Yes, and there are people that don't. Yeah, I mean, get rid of you can't get through an ice. Wall but your driveway Just leave it can't back out. No, you just leave it. If there's some there, you keep packing it down. Why did the standard become a completely clear driveway? I don't know. Down to the pavement. Why is that the standard want to be? Just that's functional. Like the grass thing is a standard like that's you don't need to have perfect graph, but the driveway needs to be clear so you can get in and out.

17:24 That's ridiculous. No, that's ridiculous. Yeah, but you don't also form and want to be that guy that doesn't show his driveway after, I don't think. Because, you know, you look around and if you see somebody that does a nude, you go like, Oh yeah, look at that guy. Probably living his best life. He ain't got time for this nonsense. He's got more important things to do. He's. Inside the house, watching TV, he doesn't need to do that. Exactly. Well, like, there we just had a snowstorm and you better believe I was walking the dog around thinking, oh, those people haven't been out yet. Of course. Oh, those people haven't. Oh yeah? Well, of course you're telling kids to read All My Bus. Yes. That's the reason we shovel, boy.

18:18 This is due to underwhelming demand with Dave, Rachel and Foreman, the podcast that's lasted longer than anyone thought. Really. Or even wanted including us. Three years, Can you believe? That. That's right. That's right. Is that all? Still here is that all. Feels longer, Feels longer. Feels longer. I have also have something I've been doing for a very long time. Not necessarily with you guys, but how'd you like that segue? I'm not sure. I'm not keep going. I I'll have to weigh in on how this ends. OK, I have been having a Christmas dinner with my childhood friends for 28 years. OK, that works. I counted. This is our 28th year getting together for Christmas dinner in January. Now it used to be before Kristen. Anyway, we're all busy.

19:05 So it's it happens in January. And so we now we go out for dinner because we're all kind of in different cities. So we meet here in London, which is where we're from, and we go out for dinner. We've been going to this place in Wortley Village for the last couple years. It's in an old house and there are ghosts. Right. We and we, Dave, if you don't recall, we've hashed this out. We have. We've hashed this out on episode 108. Our table was kind of a weird shaped table. It's kind of like an oblong table in a Bay window. And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, the water carafe just falls off the table and crashes and breaks.

19:49 We're looking at each other like, did we hit this somehow? I don't know how this thing fell off. You know, we're feeling badly that their water carafe is broken. Now they're mopping it all up. And then another wait just comes over. And she says, you know, we bought all these new water carafes a few months ago, and we don't break a lot of things here at all. But we have broken four of those since we bought them and last time it happened. I feel like, you know, nobody touched it either, and everybody thought it's a ghost just knocking it off the table. And so we were like, I think that's what happened. So we get there and I say to my friends, remember last year when this happened? And they're like, oh, yeah, that's right. So the server comes over and she seats us, and then she comes over to give us the menus.

20:36 And we're like, we were here last year and the carafe broke. And she's like, I remember that she's like, we lost a lot of those carafes and and I noticed that they now have different ones And she's like, you can see over there on the wall, we still have a few of the old ones left, but we did get the new ones. Now the new ones haven't broke, but it's like the ghost didn't like the old ones. And then just, and then accepted, oh, these are staying, whatever. And we were like, that's wild. She's like, well, you know, we have a regular who comes in and she's a medium. And she said to us, do you guys know that you have two ghosts here? And they were like, really?

21:23 She said, yeah, there's a guy that stands at the end of the bar and he just kind of watches everybody. And then there's a a woman who runs up and down the stairs and she wants to get something out of the attic because it's a big old house, right? So this. Medium is seeing these. I don't know. She knows. Yeah. The people, you know, people can do that. No, they can't. Yes, they can. No, they can't. They can't. They can't. They can't know. People who can do that, I'm telling you, I have friends who can do that, and they don't like to tell anybody about it because they don't want people to think they're crazy. Call now if you can. Yes, my goodness.

22:07 So she's telling us all about the 2 ghosts that live there and how, you know, it feels eerie when you go upstairs, but she's like the basement, I feel fine. But when I go upstairs, I'm like, oh, you know. And so we're like, yeah, we, we all, we're all nodding like, yes, like the carafe thing really kind of freaked us all out. And she's like, well, you weren't the only one. And then another server came over and we were kind of talking with him about it. He's like, I'm new, but even I know, like, that's a thing here, you know? So yeah, it's a haunted. It's a haunted restaurant, but the food's really good. Why is the restaurant delicious? Can you tell me why it's a? Big old house in Whartley. It's like a very. Old. That's what I think of all of. You 100 plus year old house or whatever you. People that believe in ghosts.

22:50 Yeah, right. Well then why isn't every single hospital haunted? Because lots of people die there. Well, I don't. Know why? Isn't every nursing home haunted? Well, it could. Probably is. I guess it's probably. This is ridiculous. I don't want to see a ghost. Don't come for me, Ghosts. I don't want you. Then why do you go back? The ghosts, the food, is that good? Isn't I forgot about, But yeah, the food is quite good. Come on. How do you forget about the? Ghosts, are you quite good? Well, I didn't remember about the carafe, yes, but so let's back up. To the medium assessment how do we just how we're not done with that by the way we can't go with did you know there's 2 here and they say oh neat the end no what do you mean what are they doing what do they want why are they there Yes who? Are they the She said.

23:42 The one woman wants to get into the attic. I don't know why. We'll figure it out. Don't ask critics. I don't know, Foreman. Go slow, attics. They press the medium to do more work. How do you know ghosts love addicts? You watch they're. Always an addict. Watch of way too many movies. They're always in the attic. Always in the attic. Yes, they're in the attic. Look, when Patrick Swayze was that ghost in that movie, Whatever, whatever strange things that Patrick Swayze was the ghost. He wasn't. He loved to do pottery. He wasn't in the he. Loved to do pottery. He wasn't in the attic. He was on the subway. He was all over the place. He. Follows her around, doesn't he? Come on. I don't know, Dave. I'm just telling you what I know. I no.

24:23 No, for the rest of the night because I was facing the bar you're looking for. The guy that stands at the bar and. Looking for the ghost. The rest of the night I didn't see him. You should have asked for one of the really carafes that they smash. Yeah, you should have asked just to test it again. Well, if he doesn't like this one, let's bring it back out and see if he smashes. It again. Why? Yeah, well, they. Had about 5 on the wall but they probably had more last year obviously. Uh huh. Before they all broke are. They fastened to the wall. No, they're just on a shelf. They were on a shelf waiting to be used, but then they started using these new ones. OK, different, different style. Whatever you think. Yeah, anyway, that's my ghost story. I've never I don't want to see one now I'm scared because I'm home alone but I well.

25:06 Apparently you know all kinds of people that talk to ghosts and see them and see them. Yeah, I do. I do well. They tell me, but I have to believe them at their word. They it's their experience. Well, and now we all have to wait till what next year for you to get more out of this medium. I guess so, unless they. Figured out in the last year. Medium wasn't there when I was there, it was the servers telling us that they don't. Care. They need more from this person. What? Are they going to? Do they just go to work every day with the ghosts and it's fine? Yes, assess it, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, you got a couple of ghosts. Maybe the ghosts smell of food. They wish they could have it 'cause it is quite good.

25:46 Come on Medium, get yourself a free meal. Be like. What do you do? I'll eat here for free, but you know, I'll tell you about the ghosts, but I want my meal for free. Maybe I should get tired. Of losing carafes and have the place exercised. Come on. But yeah, I spent good money on these. Leave us alone. I and you know what, if they're offering that deal, I'm going to go there and say I'm a medium. Oh my God. Just make up a fake story about the. Exorcism isn't the exorcism the devil. I'm I I probably have that wrong? Gave are you up for a brodate? A brodate. Two mediums go to Wartley. Well, let me know how that goes. OK, alright, sure, I'm in. I'll watch you from the bar. This is due to underwhelming demands of podcasts that you may have noticed does not have a sponsor this week. Sad sad podcast once again.

Everything you need to do a shout out sponsor, buy coffee for us. It's all there for you. It's. Merch now. Yeah, we have merchandise too, all of that stuff. Got lots of stuff underwhelming.ca. I created a video this week of the 2016 trend because it's been going around right to go back 10 years.

27:30 And you're always on that, Rach. Well, I thought it would be fun. Rachel never met a trend she didn't want to jump on board with. No, that's true. Well, someone's got to post on our socials, so I made the video. Kelsey wrote to us and said what year were April the giraffe and Rachel pregnant at the same time? Yeah, 2020. 16. Yeah, 2016, Yeah, Or maybe. Early 2017 cause Kendall was born in March 2017. Oh, could be. So it might be I remember being in my little pen and and April was in her pen and we we were pregnant at the same time. I do recall that. Yeah, I remember. That we had you in your pen. It was like less than 10 seconds. Probably the most viewed thing we've ever done. Is that right?

28:16 That's. So funny. We're just milling around. Yeah. Angela sent us a message and said happy birthday, Dave. Oh, it was my birthday. It was my birthday on the 21st of January. Yeah. How was your birthday? Oh, and And Angie says. Angela and Angie both say happy birthday. It was good. I mean, if you count having a snowstorm on your birthday is. Good. I just, Yeah. I just shovel. I do all that right? This way Barb says. Barb says happy birthday too. Yeah, at least it wasn't on the saddest day of the year this year. Some days it is, some years it is. But it was. Yeah, it wasn't there. This. Year, right? It was a Tuesday. So it's always a +1 night. Brenda says Dave and Rachel and Foreman.

28:58 Do you miss going to all these concerts and meeting the singers? No, because I still do. Yeah, Foreman. Still going and no. Sometimes. Sometimes, but not like, yeah, you know. Who misses that is my now my, my daughter, who's 19 all of a sudden has taken a, you know, a different direction in her musical taste and is, you know, and I actually said she too bad you weren't doing this a few years ago. Why? Well, I, I could have taken you a lot of stuff and I did when she was younger. I took her to a lot of stuff. But then, you know, when she had a certain age, it wasn't cool anymore. Right.

29:39 Yeah. Anyway, too bad. I get it. I miss it when the weather is good, let's put it that way. When the weather is lousy like it is like when in the middle of January, I have no desire to leave my home anytime after three in the afternoon. Right. I get it. And for like for Rock the park that was in the summer, but Rock the Park was always so hot. It was either blistering hot or a or a storm rainstorm, but that never. Bothered that. Never bothered. By the way, on your 2016 video Rachel from White Feather Skin Therapy in Port Stanley shout out. Heard of her? I know I had a friend that was going there. Yes, Rachel, would you like to us to talk about your business more intent?

30:24 Yeah. She just said Foreman does look like Foreman from that 70s Show. I see it now, yes. Oh yeah, that's why it's name. Till this for you didn't know. Yeah, Foreman. I was in college with Foreman and now his program at Fanshawe doesn't exist because they cancelled it. But even then he was called Foreman. Yeah, he was called that. What I would argue that if we get the right headgear on him, he is Bernard the Elf. Oh, absolutely, we get that wig. Oh, that we should see he's Bernard that I'm going to see if they sell a wig. Kimberly sent us a message. Every time. Every time it's a. Christmas I got. The Santa Claus is on.

31:05 Like literally throughout the entire two months, November, December and all I think of when I see Bernard. Every time I see Bernard I think Foreman. It screams Foreman. Foreman, Yeah. Thanks, I talked about Fabfitfun recently. Did you? And how I'm back on Fabfitfun. Yeah, I can't understand that. Kimberly sent a message and said you're not the only one Rachel. I'm thinking I might start a subscription soon myself. It's true. It's like self-care. Sure is it. Kathleen replied to our video, our 2016 video and she says OMG it's all of you on BX93 take me back. Yeah, can't do. That we had a good time.

31:47 It was a great way to make a living. Well, now that I'm on a country 104, number one for country hits everybody. Yes, yes, that's right. Available on iHeartRadio. So on your same device you're listening to this on, you can listen to me live 2 to 6 weekday afternoons. I'm I've been enjoying Foreman because I am in my vehicle usually right around 3:30 every day and I. And you listen. Sometimes you can must catch a Fast forward. Hey, Dave. A fast I caught that last week. Yeah. Did you? Yes, Yes. Well, some days are better than others. I'll take your feedback if it's positive. Yeah, we'll discuss later.

32:29 But Onset Station, you may have also heard Rachel last week. Yes, now I missed. That, but I did hear someone call regarding it. Yes, well, I was talking about the bus stop thing where I told the kid to get on the bus to go to school because he wasn't going to go to school. And that afternoon, I thought, boy, this would be such, like, the good thing to get some feedback on because Rachel and I or Dave and I sided with Jeremy and thought, yeah, probably shouldn't have done that, right? Yeah, everybody in Jeremy Army's work, though, thought Rachel was correct. And it turns out everyone listening to me at my work also thinks Rachel's correct. Really. Every but a lot of feedback instant. Feedback, people. Really wanting to get their two cents in on this and they all agreed with you.

33:13 Like Billy by the way, who says hi? Shout out Billy, who listens to this all the time too, so she'll hear this again, Billy said. I would also say the. Same thing to that child. You would tell a stranger's kid at the bus stop stop hey, get on the bus. I would. Strongly suggest that they get. On the bus, I would not enforce that they get on the bus. However, if they were also doing other things at the bus stop, I would also take the parental role and ask them to stop doing whatever it is that they were doing. Right. And if I were his parent, I would thank you for doing that. If I were him, I would hate you. That's what I'm not loved by all children, only my own.

33:54 I had a hunch, yeah. That's funny. Wow, OK. And there's another I. Really thought people would hammer me for that. No. Nobody. Does everybody agrees? There's a certain thing that there, there, there seems to be. And I, you know, like you can take this with a grain of salt that that I feel like there's I want to use the word nosy, Rachel. I don't think it's nosy if I'm right there and see him not getting on the bus. I think it is. I think it's just village you. I think that's. Why you either? You're either someone who's nosy, Rachel. Okay.

34:37 Or you're not Dave Foreman. No, yes. But Speaking of the word village and people named Rachel. I am so thankful to the other Rachel for doing this because I think we need to remember the saying that it takes a village. So on behalf of all working parents who can't get to the bus stop in the morning with their kids, absolutely I would want somebody to tell my child to get on the bus. Conversely, if you were that child and thought you had the whole world figured out and your mom would never catch on that you were staying home all day. Well, obviously as a child I'm not going to love it because the kids taking days off.

35:19 Yeah, but doesn't matter. Your job right now is to. Go to. School. So you're at the bus stop, take the extra 10 steps and get yourself on that bus and go to school. Doesn't matter what the kid. Thinks takes a village, doesn't. Matter what, the kids don't know what's what's best for them. Oh, you do. You know, you know what's best for that child. You don't even. You don't know to stay. Home all day. Stop it, Rachel. It you don't know what that child needs. You don't. The child should be going to school. You don't know. That I know. I don't know what he needs, but I know that he should be at school that day. Maybe he doesn't like school. Maybe he wanted. Maybe he needed a mental health day. OK, maybe he's getting bullied at school and his. Mom, you don't know.

36:07 OK, fine. But I told him to go and he did. There you go. It happened. All right, go Medium. Wish I could talk to ghosts. That'd be sweet.
