I Hope I Don't Ever See You Again - Powered by ENP Equine & Thistle Theatre! (Ep. 101)

0:00 So my friend John and Jan, she had a birthday last just a few days ago. I will tell you what he got her. What? John? OK. For her birthday, let's see how you react. Are we on? Oh, here we go. We're on. Of course we're on This is due to underwhelming demand, the podcast that is not live this week. No. Which is good because we don't have to be on our best behavior. Do we sound better? So strap yourself in. That was us on our best behavior I. Think I don't know, Was it?

0:44 I don't. I don't. Know, I guess I don't. I hope everyone had fun if you came to the live show. Thank you very much. Yeah. Are you talking to me? Because I'm not sure. Yeah, you too. Thanks for coming, Dave. Thanks for showing up. I didn't have that one. No, it's actually all right. It was good. It was good. All right. This we are Dave, Rachel and Foreman and the podcast brought to you today. Thank you very much. To the Thistle Theatre. Yes. So ENP Equine, wait till you hear about this. New and just performing. Just performing and Melissa photography. Shout out to Melissa who came to our live broadcast. We appreciate. That also with the live broadcast, you got to meet my friends Jan and John Everett.

1:25 Yep, we did, yeah. They were anxious to actually meet you guys in person. I was anxious to meet them too because they I've heard so much about them and so finally I got to meet them in person which was really nice. I think I speak for everyone in the room that we've all wondered today and over your last 99 podcast, are you folks all wearing pants, John? We, I had set it up with me beforehand that if if no one wanted to ask us a question, he was there for me. He. Would. He was going to be my setup guy, but it turns out we we got, we did get a few questions, so it wasn't all that bad. Anyway, good friends and Jan just in between the live broadcast and this recording, celebrated a birthday. Oh, happy birthday.

2:12 Happy. Birthday We got invited to a little birthday celebration the day of her birthday. Had a nice time and also my wife made the cake for the celebration. Cake was unbelievable. Really. What kind of cake was it it? Was and I'd never. I'd heard of it before, but we didn't really know what it was. Devil's food cake. Do you know what that is? Yeah, like a chocolate cake. It's a chocolate cake sure, but not everybody sells it. Like it's hard to buy one unless you pre-order it or. Oh, they have boxed cakes that are devil's food cake. Do they? Anyway, this was homemade and really good. Just saying.

2:54 Just saying. Shout out to Jana. It was really very good. It was top notch. Awesome. Whether we ever get another one, I don't know. Anyway, I wanted to talk about while we were having this lovely birthday dinner and cake afterwards it came to our attention one of the gifts that John bought Jan and I, and I thought that I would see how you guys reacted to what he got her. She bought her a scale like you know. What? A scale. For food, right? No, no, no, no, no to stand nice brand new, really fancy digital a scale. Are they married?

3:40 But they. Were as they're married. They're married. They're still married. They're. Yes. Well, it's only been a few days. I gather I'll. Just everything's fine. As far as I know, he's still alive. Time, yes. He's still alive as far as I know. We live in the same place. Have you seen the Instagrams where the man does something and then and then it cuts to, you know, Mariah Carey singing and like a a death notice of the guy? Taking my daughter to get her first haircut and her ears pierced to surprise my wife. That reminds me of that. I don't. I don't really tend to look at anything, Mariah.

4:20 Carey, 68 to 2024. I know or whatever. Yeah. So as soon as we found that out and he gave a sort of half hearted explanation as to why he thought it was a great idea, let me preface this by saying he he went all out. He gave her an elaborate breakfast in bed thing. There were other gifts involved. A lot of these other gifts involve food and then outcomes the scale. Well, I don't know what why was it there for when the scale was was that given I wasn't there for I wasn't there for the reaction on the scale.

5:02 Here's what I know that what little I know is that someone, an acquaintance of friends, someone they see on a regular basis, has a brand new digital scale. And Jan had been using and and must have remarked, boy, I got this really nice scale or something. And so, you know, the light bulb goes off in the man's head. Well, that would be a good gift. No think. Turn it off. Turn off the. Ball. Not as a gift. You can go out and buy that any day. Like on a Monday. Tuesday any day. Not a birthday. Not a birthday, no. What about Christmas? No mother's.

5:42 Day. No, it's not a gift. That's not a gift. Well, because I think you're putting your marriage in jeopardy by giving that as a gift. You'd better have a really good explanation if you're giving someone a a weight scale for their weight and not for like, you know, food in the kitchen. Do you like I never? If I bought you a a food. In the kitchen scale, I'm putting in this soup. Yeah. If I buy you that, I don't think, I don't think you're going to be too thrilled with that either. No, no, no, you're right. You're right. But it's better than the alternative if I'm going to choose between the two types of scales. Well, you don't want a scale is what you're suggesting. Not no.

6:25 Not for my birthday, no If. I have a certain. Type of garden that I'm growing then I might need a certain type of scale. Otherwise no thanks. Oh, that. Kind of. Yeah, sure. That's. A. Different thing to feel for that. That's a complete then it might be a business expense and that's a write off, yes. OK. Yeah, Yeah, it's perfectly legal. Now. You don't need a license for that. I mean, it's perfectly. That's true, yes, that's great. So you can write personal. Use Yeah. Personal use, you know. Sorry about that. So what did Jan say she was? To my knowledge, she seemed to be in a you know, she was very much a birthday mood. She was happy, everything was good. We had a good laugh about it, I will say that.

7:07 Yes. We did. We we had a pretty good laugh. We, you know, and I, well, she. Tried to process like you weren't there when it was initially presented when you then arrived. Did John have like a scale shaped gash on the side of his face or he didn't? Oh, no, he didn't. He had no. He was bruised or something. Yeah, that. Corner matches the corner of the scale. Yeah, that's the same degree. Angle. Look, I'm here to tell you, I, I, I wasn't the one who did that. But I, you know, I can vouch for my friend John. He gave his wife a scale and appears to have gotten away with it. Well, didn't you? Once give your wife a vacuum. She asked for it.

7:49 She wanted a new vacuum for Christmas. And we had a whole conversation about that. And I actually said that to John. You know, I've had that conversation with John. And John, you know, wasn't like she requested a scale. He just was trying to guess at something. That might like. She seemed enamored with that somebody else had, so he thought, well, what a great idea. I will give him half points for for noticing what she's saying and remarking on and remembering that she might like that. Very good at that actually. And the other half of the points got taken away because he gave it to her as a gift. So.

8:32 Well, he's not going to sell it to her, so giving it to. Her and bring it home be like look what I got just as a you know I. See. You know, it's Wednesday. It's a scale. Do I review? Have a scale at home? Yes. Yes. OK, how did that scale get there? Don't know actually it. Appears think we bought it when we bought our first house. We're like, oh, we need to scale. And then there was one on sale at Canadian Tire and so I bought it no myself. OK. Because we didn't have one in the house. Well before I was in the bathroom, just done showering and before the podcast this morning before our taping. Thank you for showering before this episode. Thank you. I always like to do that before yes, you know, I do a podcast and I looked down and there's a scale, nice new digital scale in our bathroom, which we bought. It was on the you're always, you're a sucker at Costco if you buy the stuff that they put out on the end and we bought, we walked by it.

9:28 There it was, and we went, Oh well, let's get that. It's usually a good deal. Yeah, it's. Usually a good deal. And there it is. And so that's how that arrived in our house. I'm pretty sure with the vacuum, that's what she wanted. We talked about it, we went through the whole thing. I made sure she had other gifts and I actually wanted somebody who listened, got me a great deal on a vacuum. So it all worked out great. Oh, yeah, that you had to go. OK, that's right. Yeah. I bought myself a new vacuum recently and Jeremy and I had discussed because I wanted a Dyson stick vac because I didn't have AI, just wanted a stick vac. That was easy because otherwise we have a a central vac and you got to go with the hose and all the parts went and it's kind of annoying to get it out, but I'm like, if I just want to vacuum the kitchen quickly, I want to stick vac and I want a Dyson.

10:14 And there was one on sale and I and Jeremy's like, well, why don't we get that for Christmas? And I'm like, I'm just going to buy it now. Like, I don't want to get. That's not a gift. Like, I'm just going to go buy it. So I did. I bought myself a stick vac. Yeah, but it wasn't a gift. It might have been a gift. OK. But then I thought of Dave. And I was like, do I want a vacuum for Christmas? No, I don't. Well, I don't know. A vacuum for Christmas I. Was going to buy it for myself. I wouldn't want it. I, you know, don't get me any power tools for Christmas. Don't do that, no. Right. I don't want that either. We learned quickly, and I've said this many times before, we learned quickly as I think teenagers, to buy my mom kitchen appliances for. Christmas. Well, if you have to learn through trial and error, that's. Not good, no.

10:58 And the stage in life we're at right now is that for Christmas, actually are getting each other winter tires out of our vacation fund. Sad. That's very sad, but you already have a scale, So what else can you do I guess. Right, we have everything else.

11:40 Once again, they have a a production that is on right now. The ladies foursome and it's by Norm Foster and it's at it's an embro, the Thistle Theatre. In case you don't know where it is. They actually sent me a couple of updates. They said. So this is from John, who I think is the he's the producer of the ladies foursome. He says I know Dave has made a point couple of times on the podcast between women and men on a golf course and how it would be very different. I don't disagree. However, he might be interested to know that Norm Foster also wrote a play called The Foursome which essentially tells that story. What happens when 4 old male friends meet for a round of golf having not seen each other for a while?

12:21 Wow, I just thought he'd be interested to know that Norm Foster wrote 2 plays exploring the different conversations on a golf course. Norm Foster must be a golfer as well as a wonderful playwright. Well, maybe I. I do not know, but sure well. Interesting. Thank you for sending that. That's interesting. That's from John Turvy, who's the producer of the Ladies Foursome, which is on now in Embro at the Thistle Theatre. And if you want tickets, they're only $25.00 because the show runs November. Well, what's today, the 12th, that this day comes out? Yeah, so it's just this Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the only remaining plays you got to go see. Them the 14th, 15th and 16th.

13:02 In Bro Town Hall, so it's a very small, intimate stage, small intimate theatre. There are limited seats. So for a great price like this and only three shows left, make sure you go in and go this weekend because it's going to be a lot of fun. Thistle-theatre.com is their website. You can buy tickets there. Call the box office. 25 bucks. 25 bucks. What a great night out. Yeah. And if you're thinking it's about, oh, I don't know, it's about golf, I don't like. It's not about golf, no. It's about secrets and confessions and love and sex and children and everything in between, set against the background of a golf course. There you go. Yeah, that's how it works. It's. Perfect. Sounds fun. Go to the. Show this is due to underwhelming demand the Donald Trump of podcasts we're not going anywhere anytime soon that's.

13:56 Please don't compare us to him, sweetheart. Somehow more popular than ever. Yes, now more popular than ever. Well, you can say that maybe I don't. I don't know if that's true about us, though, but Donald is. That's true, and in Embro, by the way, where the Sissel Theatre is. Yes. Santa Claus seems to be more popular than ever. Oh my God, didn't piddle. Yeah, that's a better one. Sorry. Because in Embro, and I asked someone who lives there, you know, what is the population of Embro? It's not that big. No, no, she said. Well I always used to say 800 counting livestock, but now it's growing so I'm not really sure.

14:41 So. OK. So maybe another 800 with cows, 1600 with cows. But it's, you know, it's growing. There's new subdivision, so I'm gonna guess there's maybe about 1000 embroiders. Embryonians. It's more fun to say embryoners. Embryonites. Yeah. And there are two women who seem like they're spearheading a a campaign to win a contest just in time for Christmas. And it's Shelly and Tammy who are spearheading this endeavour to get every single home in embryo a 12 foot tall inflatable Santa Claus. Yes. We're trying to get everybody in the town to buy a Santa Claus to put on their front lawn.

15:27 Everybody in Embro. We're trying, we are trying to get everybody in Embro to put a Santa Claus on their front lawn and then there's a parade on November 30th. We want everybody to have their Santa Clauses up. Yes, there is a street in Toronto and I think it's near my step family's street actually, and they every house has a 12 foot inflatable Santa and they all put them up on the same day and it's like a tourist thing now. Well, tourists are locals and you just drive down and you see that everybody has a 12 foot inflatable Santa. It's awesome. Yes. And why is that awesome? What's awesome? It's just. Kind of cool that like they all do it together. Are they all the same Santas?

16:11 Yes, Yep. That's not awesome. That's really boring. But they all have it, like everyone's participating in the community. That doesn't make it better. It's. Just a weird spectacle to see when you're not expecting it and realize why does every house. Have visible Santas to me are sort of, you know, pardon this, this is just my personal view slightly to moderately to maybe a lot tacky. Yeah, but they're but like. Inflatables in general. OK, I thought that about inflatables and I still kind of do, but I broke down and bought one for I. Have one. Not a Santa for Halloween. I bought a pumpkin. Like several pumpkins.

16:53 It's like an 8 foot long pumpkin inflatable thing. The kids keep telling me, as I mentioned on our live show, that our Halloween decorations suck. You. Didn't have any. I have some Luca. Was Lucas lying? You know where? You know where Rachel House is? Yeah. What's in front of their house? Nothing. Yes. That's not I have some. Luca, Liars, just a little kid. Using Children of Life. A child. I have some, but it's maybe not as many as he has. Yeah. Anyway, we got an inflatable this year. I broke down. I bought an inflatable. So what about for Christmas then? No, we don't have inflatables for that.

17:33 We have the deer, the the light up three piece deer that's on the that's what we have on the front lawn for. Like a Wicker thing. I guess, but it's made of light, like it's all the lights intertwined. I don't understand. Why people put? Deer out on their front yards for Christmas. It makes no sense. You. Don't understand anything. I don't I understand the thing. I think the Santa thing is a great idea. I hope embryo wins. What do they have to do for this Santa? Right. Well, I find it a little bit weird that it is like a a a brand store sanction contest, a genius way to get to sell more Santa Clauses. You're saying everybody has to buy one in order to win this contest, and they're $100 each. And when you want everyone, like if you're thinking their contest idea is, you know, get your whole street to enter for your street to win, right? They want the town.

18:21 So they need like 1000 of these things. I talked to Tammy on the phone and she says, Oh yeah, I probably bought about 15 of them, but. What's 100 bucks right? To have some fun with some joy. What's 100 bucks? Sure, but then what's 100 bucks times 15? Starts to get a little pricey. Wow. Because they really want to win and their plan is that these things also light up so that their Santa Claus parade in embryo is in the evening on November 30th. They they want to make sure the entire town has one set up by that evening so it can be this giant spectacle and a tourist attraction. Is it? So hold on, I think the prize was everybody received a Santa that but to enter they all have to buy. You have to buy one.

19:06 Yeah, genius marketing ploy. Yes. What do they win then? I think Broil King throws your neighborhood a barbecue and they give you some, you know, accessories and what is the Royal King swag? What is the hook with Broil King? Did they make the Santas? I don't know why. Is it a BBQ company? I don't know. Royal King's working with Home Hardware and Home Yeah Hardware is where you have to buy the Santas from. And both companies are making bank. Yes, that seem I don't like that now. I don't like that now. Now you don't like. No, it's not Everybody won a Santa, no. I was originally. Prize. Well, and I was originally interested in their story because two winters ago or no, it was last winter in Halifax, there was one St. in Coal Harbor that kind of spontaneously did this. There were about 20 or so of us at first how people were going to Costco, you know, pick it up like 5 or 6 at a time. And then more and more people just jumped on board. And then, you know, there was like 4050, sixty of them. And yeah, and then they went on sale. So a few of us were like, well, let's go get our money back. And then we just donated.

20:12 The difference to Feed Nova Scotia. And then so everyone did that and one of our friends kind of mentioned that, you know, this was probably going to get a lot of attention. So she was like, we should really attach a charity to this. So that's how the whole Feed Nova Scotia part came into it. And we've raised so much money, we thought maybe we've raised like 5, 100 bucks, 1000 bucks, and we're over $16,000 already. I know it's amazing. So kind of what started as this really silly fun idea of putting these tacky Santas on our lawn has turned into this incredible like give back over the holidays that everyone is just loving to be a part of. I kind of thought that's what was happening in embryo, but now it is this brand store sanctioned. Yeah, Bonanza.

20:57 It does kind of go against the spirit of giving and all of that stuff that happens at Christmas, I think when. You get a barbecue in the middle of the winter if you have enough. Barbecue next summer. I guess you don't like it all now do you? This doesn't sound. I don't know why they're doing this. I'm more intrigued with a with an entire town where every single home has a 12 foot lit up inflatable sand. Now I'm intrigued. And you think it sucks? We're going to start our own, our own contest here where if you buy a sponsorship and you buy enough of them, we will give you, I don't know, some shout outs. It's more than more than that.

21:39 More shout out what? They're buying is a shout. Out exactly like what's the point of this? Well, I love that you hate this idea, Rachel, and you own inflatables and Dave, you hate inflatables, but now you kind of love the I'm. Sold. I think it will make it. I don't understand. It's only good for Home Hardware. When the last time you were in Embra? I care about the contest. I'm more interested in seeing an entire town where everybody has that inflatable standard now. I like that idea. I think it's a reason to go to Embra now, yes. Sure. Yeah, I agree. Well, you. Can't come because you're miserable about it anyway. I I wasn't when I was talking about, you know, the street in Toronto and I think it's better. I think it's cool that they're all decked out the same way and that's, you know, it's a whole community thing. But I don't like that Home Hardware started this contest just to just to sell more this.

22:25 Now, so you can't come. What? That's actually genius of Home Hardware. And like, they probably saw the Toronto example, they saw the Cole Harbor example and thought, how can we swoop in the middle and make some money off this? And they figured it out. Yeah. And people are playing along. I love it, I love it. You go in bro. Into contests where no purchase was necessary. This is like a ton of purchases are necessary. We're too stupid to do the skill testing question now. You really are in a snit, aren't you? Wow. This is due to underwhelming demand. The podcast with Dave, Rachel and Foreman. And this podcast is brought to you by ENP Equine. A brand new sponsor.

23:20 That's. Right. Thank you very much. ENP and like the NOT and N P/E. N P/E. Equine in Thames this is Erin and she does massage and nerve release for horses. Foreman. Right up your alley. I'm not a horse. No, look for. It's not for. Me Have you dealt with equine massage and nerve release professionals before at. Yours. My mother certainly has far more than investing in those and in in her own children. She would invest in those for the horses because it absolutely seems to work because the horses is always prancing around, super happy, light, relaxed stress. Forming about it and away you go. What were you like as a kid?

24:05 Not not prancing around? How you? Didn't have improved circulation in an improved immune response, an improved lymph drainage thus minimizing any swelling, and improved respiration and digestion and sedative and pain relief. I didn't get any of that. Actually, all of those things, that's the benefits of the equine massage and nerve release that's. Good to be a horse. Paren Odrowski provides. She says if you're interested in investing in the longevity and Wellness of your equine friend and athlete, this is for you. Also, if you have a horse who would benefit from increased range of motion, reduced recovery time and overall relaxation, maybe equine massage and nerve releases for you of course. Yeah, I and I, I know nothing about equine. You know anything Massage and nerve really. I like.

24:54 I know nothing about it. How you learn how to do that? How you can. You know how to how to like. Is the horse a little uptight? What are you doing here? Who are you? I don't know you, but I mean it. Does make sense? It makes sense for when you're in competitions with your horse. I mean, the horse is doing an awful lot of work, like 80 high level athletic competition would be for a human. So sure, yeah, they need recovery time, they need increased range of motion, things like that, as you would good with a high level competitive athlete that's a human being. Sure, got it. All of these things sound like I would benefit from them. Actually, yes, you would. I wish someone would come and do that for me. But Aaron only works with horses, unfortunately for me.

25:35 So you can contact her, Aaron Odrowski at EODROWS k@gmail.com or and we'll put that in the in the show notes here and on the, if you're watching on YouTube, it's on there 226-377-0244 Aaron Odrowski for ENP Equine. This is due to underwhelming demand. It's Dave, Rachel inform And this is the podcast that's like the leaves that fall in your yard. It happens whether you like it or not, so. That's true.

26:17 The podcast happens whether you. Like it or not, here we. Are you know what else happens? Whether you like it or not, your children will inevitably, at some point get lice. That's the best segue ever. That's the one. I thought that was very obvious, but OK, you can get that. How? You tied that in, but it worked. Thank you. Yeah, we've been dealing with lice over here. It's gone now, thankfully. And I thank God never got it. But my kids got lice and we knew another family that they had lice. And so I was checking my kids and that's the only reason I was checking because I knew that they had played with these children and I thought I better, I better check them.

26:59 But if you've had lice, and I think every family will get it at some 'cause I remember getting it as a kid myself. The more you say that word, I feel like I have it now. I mean really itches. Like crazy, Yeah. Itchy this whole segment. Yeah, I don't even have any hair left and I'm still itchy. I know it's awful and so everybody gets it at some point, I think. They love clean hair, Dave, as you're freshly showered. Yes, they. Love clean hair. That's yeah, clean hair is what lice like. I didn't know that this is this is all very I mean, I we didn't really have any. We had we had an issue at camp and then it turned out that it was overblown the issue and you know, but lice well, that's where it starts.

27:42 There was a, an egg that was, you know, and the, the girl, you did that at camp they're trained to look for lice. And I think they spotted something. And so we immediately, we had just got home, we had to drive all the way back and take, you know, 'cause you can't be here. And then we took her to an expert the next day who said there was 1 broken egg with nothing in it. That was it. Nothing in her hair like OK. Well, that's. Good come through well we and we needed to have proof to get her back to camp so. It all worked out, but no lice, yeah. Last time we had lice that came from day camp and it was cowboy Day and everyone was sharing cowboy hats. Oh, why do they have cowboy games that can't have?

28:23 That idea? No. Hats. Yeah, well, see, in our house we were all sharing hair brushes until now. So we don't do that anymore. And every day they all get sterilized. I put them all in in boiling water every single day after every use. Yeah, boy. Well, because, well, you have to. I just just in case. I mean, it's not going to hurt. Yeah. So I worked at camp. Fun fact, I was the lifeguard at camp for a summer. And this is a camp. I worked as a counselor before and whatever. And you were the lice. Coordinator. I was the lice checker, yeah. I had to be trained and check for lice. And there you get a. Little extra bonus. No, you don't. It just it just, but I learned a lot and you know, there's some kids that have very little lice, but some I just open the hair and you can see all the eggs and I'm like, OK, you, I don't even really need to check because I can clearly see that you have lice. So I, I knew how to check.

29:17 So I know how to check for lice, which if, if you don't look it up, because if, if you, if you hear that somebody in your child's life, classroom, whatever might have lice, I suggest you just check their hair every couple days. Just, you know, in case you, in case they get it. Because if you're not checking, then it'll just be rampant once you finally catch it. So I knew that they were playing with some kids who had it. And so I was just checking their hair. And then I finally one night found it in Kendall's hair 1st. And I thought, Oh my God, well, this is our life now for the next week or two. And it was. I spent that entire weekend 12 hours, six hours each day, picking through hair, 12 hours.

30:03 And I'm like going through it almost strand by strand, trying to find every little bit. I was treating the hair. We spent so much money, Jeremy had to go. As soon as I found it, I said you got to go to Shoppers Drug Mart and buy the lice shampoo. So he does, he goes, he gets the shampoo and we use the medicated stuff because I am not messing around. I want this to work and I want it gone quickly. And some people were like, use olive oil, use coconut oil, just smother it without. No, we're using the medicated shit and we're getting it done. OK, Can. We can we go backwards though. When, When, because I feel like when you instructed Jeremy to go and and and buy the shampoo and when you discovered that you had lice, I feel like you, you seem very calm, but I feel like when this was actually happening. I just want to know, can you give us an indication of? What it was like.

30:58 How you reacted? I was upstairs with Kendall and she's like my head's itchy can you please check it again? And I said OK. I said I checked you like 2 days ago anyway so then I found it and I'm like OK you do have it. And she's like oh and then I yelled downstairs I'm like Kendall has lice. This is our life now. And Jeremy runs upstairs What? I'm like, yeah, I need you to go to Shoppers. Yes. So he immediately goes to Shoppers Drug Mart, gets the shampoo from the pharmacist, comes home, we treat Kendall the next day. I'm picking her hair and whatever. And then I and then I was like, I found another, another Live 1. So I, I don't think I used enough. Turns out it will like it has a residual effect and it will work over a seven days.

31:45 But anyway, I sent him back to get more. She has so much hair. Kendall has so much hair. It's so thick. And so the second day, Jeremy goes back, same pharmacist and he goes, weren't you here yesterday? And he and Jeremy says, yeah. And the pharmacist just says I am so sorry. How is it when you buy the shampoo? What is it? Just a little bit. Or a little bottle. It's like a, I don't know what it's like a mini shampoo bottle basically of shampoo and you're supposed to use either half or or maybe a whole bottle. And I and Kendall has so much hair. I don't think I saturated it enough. I think I needed more than one bottle for her. Julia's hair would be fine with 11 bottle or half a bottle, but Kendall's is so thick. So I sent him back the second day. So then the third day I find lice on Julia and I'm like, OK, back you go all the way back to shoppers. So he goes back to I'm like, you know what, just get 2 bottles this time because I'm probably going to get it too. Get 6, just buy whatever.

32:42 So he goes back the third day and this guy's like, you know what? Same pharmacist. He's like, you seem like a really nice man, but I hope I don't ever I see you again. So bad for you, Jeremy. Jeremy's like, yeah, thank you. And at that point we had bought out the store of all the lice shampoo. So he had to get a second kind, a different kind of lice shampoo that was a little more expensive. But whatever. We we I'm like, we'll take what we can get. So now that shoppers was out of lice shampoo for that day because we purchased all of it. So we do everybody's hair. I'm picking every day. Like it's just ruins your entire week because I spend hours after school all weekend long trying to get every single because if you don't get all the eggs out of the hair, they hatch and then it just comes back. You need to make sure you get every single one out of the hair or or they they come back.

33:37 It doesn't go away. Did you know that there is a special lice comb? Yeah, I have that. It doesn't get all of them out. But when all you use, you use a shit load of conditioner so the hair is nice and easy to come through, you're white exactly. And then you use the comb and that's all you need because they will eventually all come out and you don't have to buy any of that shampoo because it doesn't do that. Looks like they're on the the, you know, the big slide at. Yeah, but the knits would go. Some of them were so small. The comb still doesn't. And I bought the extra. So the shampoo comes with a plastic comb, which is crap. I bought the metal comb. I bought a separate metal comb because that the the teeth of it are are more together and even that the the knits.

34:23 It will get the lice out if you comb the lice but not all the eggs, and the eggs are so stuck on the hair you have to pull them with your fingernails. That's how you. Know that's how you know it's lice. But we had that lice lady come in once and she she was like, this is all I'm doing, this is conditioner and this is the comb. That's it. Yeah, I yeah, OK, that's fine. I mean if if the comb misses any then I guess you're just not getting them out. But do it again. That's. Yeah, that sounds simpler than going and and annoying the pharmacist and Shoppers Drug Mart. Two people had told me that to use the conditioner, but I'm skeptical that it gets out absolutely every single knit. So I'm going in and I had the whole setup.

35:03 I had my ring light. I had like reading glasses on which are magnifying so I could see every strand of hair. Like I am going through this with a fine tooth comb because I I'm making sure. In case anybody didn't know, that's where the term nitpicker comes from. Poor Jeremy you. Didn't do anything, I did it all. This is due to underwhelming demand.

Anyway, Long story short, on this podcast I talked about my trip to Watkins Glen. Yes. Yeah. Where I discovered that they were selling off these misprinted T-shirts that say Watt Kings Glen on them and I had to have one they had for $10. You can get a hoodie we got. We bought a bunch of hoodies in my family. You were wearing one at the live show. If you see our pictures at underwhelming.ca, you'll see Dave in the wine I'll wear.

40:08 My I'll wear my nice one of my nice hoodies. And but the friends we were with, they bought lots of T-shirts. 5 bucks for a T-shirt I didn't even really bother buying AT maybe just bought. Anyway, turns out you guys were whining at me last week. Why didn't you bring me back one? Yeah. Right. I never even thought to buy you. Guys for a hoodie actually. Yeah, I well, I never even thought to buy any. I'd like the whole tracksuit. Yeah, anyway, turns out my friends John and Jan bought a whack of T-shirts and in the process? Needed some new rags, did they? They Yeah, look at their. Very nice. Sizes that didn't particularly work for their needs. OK, so it looks like there you go. Well, there was a pink one you're holding up and a Gray one you're holding up.

40:57 I have one for. Two T-shirts. Of you. Oh. Johnny, hey. There you go, you got your own watch. Why did you bring that last week? We didn't. Know ever they they heard about they didn't know either so. They kids from that, they shouldn't have it. They said something to me and I said, you know, like afterwards they said we got a couple that we don't know what we're gonna do with. Do you want them? Sure, I'll give them to date to Rachel and I. Bought them off of them and they're yours. Thank. You Happy birthday, Merry Christmas and this. Is your only gift happy? Mother's Day and Father's Day, sure. OK, not getting another thing from me.

All he wrote was more research needed. That's. Great David, a write off is a business expense used to reduce your taxable income. OK, well then why isn't it called a tax write off? It is.
