I Won't Touch A Sausage - Powered by Keenan and Keenan! (Ep. 153)

0:00 Blue Mountain is sort of on an escarpment and he would have to watch for her all the time. Like, like it was very difficult to ski and watch for her behind him on hills that have, you know, they, they're gradual and then they really drop. That's just the way Blue Mountain works. You would love it. Rachel, you're such a great skier. This is due to underwhelming demand, the podcast that if there was an Oscar for most underwhelming achievement and sound not to be honest, we're never winning anything, but we might have a shot at that. We're never, we're never winning anything.

0:41 There needs to be a whole underwhelming award show. Yes, that would be. There should be. We should give about wait underwhelming awards. We don't have any money for that. That's a great idea. We don't have money for awards, but we can, and we can certainly. No, I'm not. We're not. Someone has to hand one to us. That's true. And other underwhelming things in life that's. Great. Yeah. Anyway, and this fine podcast is brought to you by Keenan and Keenan Handyman Services. More about them later coming up on the podcast. We haven't done this in a while. Good idea, bad idea, Good idea is coming, Yeah. Good idea, yeah. Rachel apparently has an inner monologue. Mm hmm. Don't you? I don't think so.

1:24 You don't. Weird. I don't think so. OK. And Foreman? Am told that Harley's 13th birthday party will be her last. It's time, yes. How old's Harley? She's currently 1212. Yeah. Oh wow. She turns 13 next month in April, April. April is her 13th. She will be a teenager. Wow. OK, I know. That's. Crazy, I know. I remember Charlotte when she was younger than Harley is now so. She's, when I met Charlotte, Dave's daughter, she was 5, five years old.

2:05 Yeah. And she used to like to sit on my lap. And we were, you know, it would. I was the big girl and she now she doesn't do that obviously. Well, she'll sit on your lap if you'd like. How old does she know? She's almost 20. Yes, still a teenager, but not much time left in that. No, that's. Wow. Yeah. And, and have you been having birthday parties all throughout these teen years? You know, that's you guys seem to be your generation of parenting seems to really overdo the birthdays. I feel like we were very it was very difficult for Charlotte because her birthday is very close to Christmas, which is kind of fun because everybody's in a, you know, sort of a party mood anyway, close to Christmas. The the problem was that to have any of her school friends over a lot of them, her birthday would coincide with school being out and people travel.

2:59 And so we did a lot of birthday things for her between like we would say, well, we'll take you and, and one of your friends, I, I think we took her to Niagara Falls one time. We took her to a couple of indoor water parks. We did all that stuff. But we did it between Christmas and New Year's and not on her birthday. But no, she never really had a great big party. Doesn't have to be great big but ah party. I mean no. Yeah, we have. We my, my kids have parties, and it's a big deal for them to plan it out themselves. Here's what we're gonna do. Sometimes it's at home, but I prefer the ones where we go somewhere else. And they they clean up cost, yeah, some money. But having it at home cost me money anyway. By the time I buy food and and activities to do but. It's also work for you too.

3:51 It's work. For me, so I'd rather pay someone else 500 bucks, Yes. And you already know you don't like work. Yeah, just make my life easier. My life. And then that's why Emily's is also in April when she turns 9 and I think we're booking the whole gymnastics club and then inviting half the class still. Have you talked to her early now? So your wife is saying this? Is it the cut off? This is your last one? Has she told your daughter yet? Well, or she don't just discussion you, yes. She just informed you. Telling me that, well, we have to, we have to make it it special because it's going to be her last first one. She only just said this in passing and I immediately had to stop her and say, what are you talking about? That's how it works.

4:32 This is your last party. Since. When, since who? And that's like in her mind that it's like a life rule. Parties end at 13. Well, I think there's a stage where as a kid, maybe you don't. I mean, everybody wants a fuss for their birthday, I guess. But maybe it doesn't have to be, you know, because 13's the age actually 12:00 and 11:00 I would have thought, but where they start to get embarrassed by mom and dad and and all of that stuff. They're I mean. Embarrassed already? Yeah. We've had a teenager living here for several years already, it feels like. So, yes. Yeah. Yeah, I was asking Julia a question just this morning, and she'd hurt.

5:16 The way that she talks to me is just yelling and exasperation like all the time. There's more of that to. So I'm like, OK, many years and I needed an answer out of her and did I get one? No, I was like, OK, well, I don't know then I don't know. Are you not exasperated when you talk to your mom, Rachel? Yes, I am still, you know, at 40. Yeah. Come on, mom. Oh, God. Yeah, Yeah. I can remember having a birthday party in in grade 9. I remember having a party but. After 15. Yeah, yeah. 15 Sweet 16 That's a party. Yeah, you know what? My parents threw me a surprise party for my 16th birthday. There you go. And it was just my friends at our house to swim and it was very casual, but they were all there when I came home. And then after that, I can't remember having a birthday party.

6:05 Those are all parties from our childhood. We didn't go rent out places and whatever when we were kids. It was just your friends come over and there's Kate, right? Yes, it wasn't an organized right. It wasn't a big. Yeah, so I don't know if she didn't have those parties or anything in her teen years, because that's pretty sad if she didn't. Yeah, but that's something. That's still a party. Like, you still are hanging out with your friends, you're still doing stuff. At what point did birthday parties stop? What do you think? I can see saying like, OK, once you're in high school, we're not going to have like a formal everyone come over and whatever, Sure, party, but you still have your friends over and hang out, right? Yeah, I think we're taking 22 card loads of kids to the water park in Windsor, I think for Harley's birthday. I think that's.

6:53 What we've decided on, that's a fancy part. No wonder she's cancelling them after this year. Two cars we both have to drive full of kids. That's crazy. Two hours. That's a lot of work for one day. Rachel, that's not something you would do. No, No. Good for Ashley and you 2. Car loads of kids you're taking to a water park in Windsor, Yeah. Is this a day trip or are you going to stay? Over trip, yeah. Wow, we've. Been there before. It's it's a great big indoor water park. So it doesn't matter what the because you never know what the weather is going to be like in April. Sometimes you plan for something outdoors and it just gets ruined, right? So you go, it's indoors.

7:33 It's a park with the get in the car. Wow. Can't you do? Something locally? This is what seems. Quite far. The kid who swims 4 times a week, her first thought is, we ask what do you want to do for your birthday? And she says go to the pool. You're in the pool four times a week. Try something. Try something less wet. At least water slides are apparently the compromise. I guess it's the last. One I just feel like this is I. Don't go all out. Have fun. But how are you going to decide who rides and What Car? Because that's going to be an issue for you, you know, because you know, Harley's the birthday girl.

8:14 And if you start separating friends and everything else in different cars. And let me tell you something, because I'm, I lived in Windsor for a few years and I will tell you that that is that drive to Windsor, yeah, is the most boring ass drive you can possibly take. It's just straight with nothing. It's nothing. It's nothing. It's flat. Yeah, it's flat and nothing. And you're doing it twice in the day. Yeah. Wow. Happy birthday Harley. Yeah, I know. I know. The the seating arrangement is definitely a Harley in one car, her little sister in the other. Yeah, yeah. So all the big girls who like her little sister can go in that car. Yeah.

8:57 And then the other rest can go with Harley. Yeah. No wonder you're cancelling it after this, because that's a big deal. Holy cow, That's. You are absolutely. You should be on board foreman like this would be. That would be good for me that I don't need anymore. That's it. I'm not doing that party again. I could definitely say that. No. All right, Yeah, until it's Emily's turn. Well. What's she gonna do like in Grade 8? She's still in elementary school. I don't know if you should cancel it after this year, Maybe next year. She. Can still have. It's just like have your friends over, have some cake and have fun. That's a party. That's a. Party. That's it. That's all we got and we're fine. Yeah.

9:38 Go downstairs, leave us alone. Yes, let me know when you want cake. See you later. Here's a knife. Here's a knife. This is due to Wonderwhelming demand. The podcast with Dave, Rachel and Foreman, brought to you by Keenan and Keenan Handyman Services.

And expanding, by the way, because hired people, it's not just Johnny anymore.

10:24 If there's more people, more expertise, more capabilities. The word The word is spreading about Keenan and Keenan Handyman services and that's why they've had to bring in more people. They've done a stair leveling project like outside on your on your deck. You got to make sure those are safe. So they did that. They can do IKEA kitchens. They could do simple things like hanging a light fixture or I don't know, repairing drywall foreman. You need someone to help you with that.

That's what the photo is for, yeah, that's what the frame. Hide the hole. To hide the hole, unless you haven't been able to hide all the holes with. Said photo. Yeah, well, that's right.

11:56 We're going to need them. You are. I just foresee. Yes, you are. Yeah, the. World that you might help spring sprungs and things are revealed yeah it's going to be I'm there's going to be things I'm going to be yelled at and then I'm just going to call Keenan and Keenan it's a wise. Idea. Yes. That's the right idea. If your wife is yelling at you, call Keenan and Keenan. This is due to underwhelming demand. It's Dave, Rachel, and Foreman. This is the podcast that, as you know, the the Oscars are coming up. But unlike the Oscars, where the beautiful people are, this podcast has us.

12:38 And we are underwhelming. Very much so. Not there. We're not there. Yes. Yeah, we are not there. You're not welcome. Well, you know, what is there in my head is an inner monologue, and I wonder if you have the same thing now. I only recently kind of learned what an inner monologue was, and I was surprised to learn that not everybody has one. What? Yeah. So an inner monologue is basically kind of running thoughts in your head. You're you're maybe you're like narrating your day. You've kind of always got these thoughts running through your head like somebody's narrating or like, maybe, oh, OK, I've better do this now. Maybe you hear an actual voice.

13:26 I don't know. Do you have an inner monologue? Yeah. I do, yeah, I'm sure I do. I think I talk to myself in my head all day long. Constant. I talk to myself out loud but I'd say 75% of my day, especially in the winter time, I'm by myself. So it's sent history. It's. Easier. Well, you know, When you're not, you know. Myself all day now too. Yeah. So I end up saying things a lot out loud. I think there are things that go on in my head where I go, oh, I better do that. But I mean that. That to me is like walking into a room and going, the hell am I in here for? What? Oh yeah, it occur. Oh, I better do that.

14:08 Those things I think go on inside of my head, but nobody's narrating my life, my life story in there, sorry. No, I think it's the the the day-to-day stuff though that's I've isn't that what it is? I think that's what's going on in my head. It's just like your general what's going on in that moment kind of narration, I guess. Yeah, like if I'm working, I'm like OK, I better check this now. OK, I'm gonna do this next and I'm just constantly but. That's not somebody narrating your life. It's not. No, I think there's talks like there's like words yes mixed in in between 3 seconds of a song I currently hate that's looping over and over and over again. Well, that I guess I have those a. Lot only 3030 to 50% of people have an inner monologue, so maybe up to half.

14:58 That's what I thought. I thought it was like. Like it was 100. Percent in the heads of people who don't have that. I just assumed. That was the default. Yeah, what is what's going on in my head is I'm taking in everything that's happening to me. My brain is absorbing what's going on around me. Whether it's talking to me or not, who cares? But if I. Take something in like Sam, you know when you say that I'm like outside looking at stuff, I'm like thinking, OK, that's that way because of this and what you know that like I'm constantly thinking. I don't have. I don't. The things that I'm taking it. I don't reason you're reasoning with yourself or something, I don't know why. Always. Okay, well that's it's just who you are, I think.

15:38 Yeah, I. See things that I accept them for what they are and move on. I'm fighting myself. I like if if I'm at work and you're like, oh, I'm doing this thing. I got it. Oh, now I'm but I'm supposed to do this. But now, oh, now you idiot, you got distracted by doing this other dumb thing. Where to go, dumbass? There's a lot of that. I do. I do get annoyed with myself I'm. Just like OK I do. Get annoyed with myself. I've always been, you know, particularly hard on myself anyway, so yes, I do get annoyed, but sometimes I'll I'll say that out loud too. Like you dumbass. You dumbass. And I heard him say that. Yes, that's true. Yeah, yeah, I'm like that for him. And I think I do that in my head going, hell, did you do that? Yeah.

16:25 Why did you do that? Now you're going to have to do it again, you know? Like I don't talk. I'll be like, oh, what? OK, I get it. Get on track here. You know, I'm and then like I kind of coach myself through focus. Focus. OK, you should be doing this. Get off doing Facebook or whatever you're doing, you know, on the computer. And there's a lot of yelling at ourselves in our heads is doing. Yeah, it's. Better not and in your mommy. You know, 'cause there's nobody here to yell at me. And then when people, when people get home, they do the yelling for me. Right. And then you can you can turn that right off. Dumbass. No. Then the criticism switches to inside, but at somebody else, and it will always stay inside.

17:09 I'm not saying that out loud. This is due to Underwhelming demand, The podcast that will make you react the same way you did when you heard there was still a survivor. Survivor 5050. How is that a thing? I know. Does anybody watch that? And that's how we make you feel like listening to this. How are they still there? Why are they doing a podcast?

17:50 How are they still together? Zac Brown's on this season, I don't think the whole season, but part of it on Survivor. Jimmy Allen, Survivor 50. Yeah, I believe Jeff Probst himself is actually competing. Is he OK? Well, still took him. 50 tries, yeah, I know. Before he was. Making me watch. No, I haven't watched since season 1. So are all these people going to the island that there are? No idea, don't know. I'm not going to watch. I'm just saying this is what I heard in entertainment. Views just well, actually that's we're at this point anyway, so it's time for good idea, bad idea. It's time for another good idea, bad idea.

18:31 Survivor 50. Yes, bad idea. Come on. Bad idea. Somebody must like it. It's like an NCIS, it's very highly rated yet no one watches it at the same time. No. One really knows what it is. Yeah, and terrible idea after 50 seasons for Jeff Cropes to actually put himself into the game. What, You stay out of it, Stay out of it and tell everyone how dumb they are and stay out. Yeah, they're. Not making me watch. And now he's a little and can't make me, you know? Yeah, I agree. Well, I don't know. He's not. I mean he doesn't look like he's the agent at all since season 1 to be honest I think. He's had a lot of Botox probably. Well, he's on TV all right. Yeah. All right, well, let's move on.

19:12 This is a good idea, a bad idea where we take a look at things that we, you know, we, we scan the, the, the world and, and, and find things and wonder is this a good or a bad idea? OK, we haven't done this for a while. I'll start with this one and with I can unequivocally say this is a great idea. British Columbia announced the other day, I don't know if you heard this, they are switching to permanent daylight saving time. Great idea. They're springing forward, staying there, and they're going to keep it that way. So they were going to do it alongside. They hope they can do it with California, Oregon and Washington, all the West Coast states, but they got sick of waiting for them. They're hoping those states will follow suit. I hope the rest of the country follow suit. Yes, like pick a lane and stay in it. We're tired of switching our clocks for no reason. They had they and like Ontario, they've had legislation ready to go for years now it says as soon as those states get on board, we'll switch.

20:14 Much like Ontario still currently has legislation that says we will as long as Quebec and new. York and New York switch, sure, and they haven't. Come on, Doug, stop waiting. Let's go. Just do it. Yeah. Take one. Interesting. The whole thing is it's a bad idea to be switching our clocks. It's bad for people, you know, like it just didn't. It's stop doing it Yukon, Saskatchewan and BC that all don't change the clocks. Let's go, everybody else. I didn't know that. Yeah, well. Parts of northern BC because Bonnie, one of our listeners lives there and she told us a while ago that they don't switch. I'm sure this.

20:54 Is a great idea. Sorry, it's a great idea. To BC already we. Need to stop doing this nonsense. Yep. And we're good for BC. Yep. All right. We're all in agreement. Good idea, right? She's a great idea. Good idea. OK, how about this? Good idea, bad idea to replace. Replace, not change. Replace your underwear every six months. Expensive idea? Sure. Sure, says Rachel. You don't. You don't care. Why? I've got some very old underwear. Years old, Older than my children, yeah. OK, Yeah, I. Mean do I still wear it? I don't know. I have a lot of underwear that I don't wear anyway. So it's backups or backups?

21:35 Yeah, this is a quote here. So we're talking about replacing, not changing. Doctors generally recommend replacing underwear every six to nine months because washing doesn't remove everything you. OK, in. Other words, washing your. Well, that might. Underpayments doesn't get rid of all the bacteria you leave behind. So it's OK to wear them for six months with all their bacteria? Funguses too. Oh, there's science to back it up. Yes. 50 washes and then you're done. That's a lot. Yeah, I mean if. You're wearing your underwear once a week. That's a year. That's almost a year, yeah.

22:15 So. I don't. I'm not going to. I'm not doing that. I mean, it's gross to think about, but it is. Gross to think about it, I would. It is. Expensive it is. Yeah. You know, but you probably spend other things. I feel like if you're wearing tighty whities, yeah, you should be your play. Well, that's essentially women. That's what we wear, Yes. Well. Then I'm maybe on board for that. Boxer shorts for me, that they're expensive. Yes, they are. They're. Expensive if you want good ones. Yeah. And you know, like if it's my bacteria that's behind on my now that I'm thinking about it. Right. I got that all over me, don't I? Yes. It is my bacteria.

22:58 Showering every day, but I get that you're, you know, you're going to the bathroom and stuff like, but why? Why does the effectiveness of the wash tap out at 50? I don't know because I just feel like your. Bacteria's built up so much and it's unwashed. I don't get it. I don't get why that's all of a sudden. I. Don't know. I mean, I'm the only one wearing them and we're not sharing underpants, so. Right underpants. I'm not in. Yeah, I haven't developed a rash from. You. Want to write? If you want to borrow my underpants. What happens to? You like, It's not my fault what happens to you if you're. Speed. Go get a bad speed if you're borrowing my underpants. Yeah. OK, so bad idea.

23:38 We're not bored. OK, bad idea. Bad idea. Bad idea to go. Along with something that might make you soil your underpants, by the way. OK, great. Yeah, and. Then you then you do have to throw them out. Available nationwide for a limited time, Subway is transforming the beloved flavor of Canada's number one All Dressed Chip into a one-of-a-kind sauce, delivering the sweet, tangy, smoky and savory notes of Ruffles. All Dressed chips in every bite with one easy squeeze. No thanks, I don't need that. All dressed sauce at Subway. Bad idea. I don't really care. I mean, I don't go to subways, I don't care. But you know that flavor all dressed of chip, I like call it well.

24:25 It's been a while since I had an all dressed. All dressed is not my favorite kind of chip and so I don't need the sauce. No, I don't think I want it in the sauce either way. Like I'm OK with the flavor, but not as a sauce. Flavor doesn't bother me. It's it was OK for a while but it's not something I crave. I don't. I don't need it on my sub. OK, bad idea. Bad idea. Bad idea on that one. Well then try this one. Try this Great Wolf Lodge has a special ranch flavored milkshake this spring. Nope. Bad idea. Bad idea, bad idea so. Vanilla. Ice. Cream mixed with ranch dressing, Top topped. I'm not done. Topped with carrots, celery, whipped cream and crispy chicken.

25:08 Oh my. God, did they just think, let's just put all this random shit together maybe. Isn't there enough kids pooping in the pools there? Right. It's funny. Come. On. What are you doing on it? Look at little. You know. What, slow. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I just slow up for a second here. Have you ever had chicken and waffles? No. Yeah, look, it makes sense. Pretty good. Adding ranch and vanilla. Look, I don't. I'll tell you what, because here's what I think. And you can disagree all you want. Ranch is delicious. Ranch dressing is delicious. I don't ever touch it because I know that anything white and creamy like mayonnaise or ranch dressing is going to give me a fat ass.

25:57 I eat too much of it. I'm going to get a fat ass. I just know that. So I avoid Dave, you know, aren't you? Told that you have no ass? You might need some of that actually. Maybe I do, maybe I do need it. I don't want to get a big bump so I avoid ranch mayonnaise cause anything white and creamy. Don't get big bums like that. Good for you. It can't be good for you. It's just not good for you. So I don't eat. Tablespoon of ranch dressing every so often, but I don't you're not going to get a fat ass. No, give me oil and vinegar on my salad. I'm not putting ranch on it. Never, ever, ever, ever and. Your deep fried chicken waffles, that'll be fine. Yeah, well, don't. Yeah, well, you know, I'm not dipping my pizza in ranch dressing either. However, I do think ranch dressing is delicious. OK, OK, it's delicious.

26:43 Sure, I. Like vanilla ice cream too, although Rachel doesn't. Vanilla's fine, but it is my opinion that if vanilla ice cream is your favorite kind, you are vanilla. I like Vanilla Ice. Cream. That's my taste. I will stand by that. It tastes good. Carrot, celery, whipped cream, crispy chicken. Carrot. Celery. What? See again, whipped. Cream, you're turning. Me off here. I can't have whipped cream either. It's white. And it's creamy. Great Wolf Lodge thing, yeah. Why we have vanilla? Where'd the cream? It's come from. And ran top. It topped with carrots, celery, whipped cream and crispy. Chicken. Oh my gosh, no, it's. Disgusting. Bad idea. I don't actually I would. Try. I don't need the sweet and savory all together all the time.

27:25 I would try it once I. Would try. It's not disgusting, no. You know why? Great Wolf Lodge is making this up because they don't make enough money off the millions of dollars they charge you to stay there for one night, so they might as well sell you a $20 milkshake, that's why. The game wasn't great. Wolf Lodge. Good idea. Bad idea. Just, you know, the ranch flavored milkshake. OK, You know that. So you think it's bad? Yeah. I would try it. I don't know why I would try it. No thanks. But maybe David, it'll help you wash down your Doctor Pepper inspired sausage. See, that's another thing I don't eat because I don't know what's in a sausage mystery. Meat in a tube is not my thing. You're going to try this disgusting milkshake, but you won't eat a fucking sausage. No, I won't touch a sausage.

28:09 No. Johnsonville, I don't know what's in it. Johnsonville Doctor Pepper inspired sausage. No. Crafted from 100% premium cuts of pork and free from artificial colors and flavors, these lengthy. Are you going to tell me that? Why would I eat that? They're the mouth watering fusion of Doctor Pepper's signature 23 flavors with Johnsonville Savory Sausage. No, no. So do they infuse the sausage with the Doctor Pepper? The sausage tastes like Doctor Pepper. That's just bad, I don't think. I want. Mystery meat in a tube that tastes like Doctor Pepper? Who wants that? I think you can cook with like Coke.

28:50 People put Coke and beer and stuff like that because the bubbles and like I think it helps tenderize the meat and all of that. So OK, I'm interested. I'm more interested in that than the milkshake. Well, beer is used to cook. You're right. It's the carbonation that shares. That I don't need my sausage to taste like Doctor Pepper. Nope. Bad idea. I don't want my Doctor Pepper to taste like sausage. Fair enough, fair enough. It would be worse the other way around. You would be right, yeah. That would. Really flavored Dr. Pat that. Would suck. Bad idea. Bad. Idea. Bad idea. Such to flavor. Bad idea. Oh my God.

We've got a lot to get through actually today. So I posted on Facebook a while ago. What activity did you take up later in life? Because as you know, I started hockey. I started golf now I skied kind of so it. Didn't ski. Yeah, I skied like halfway down on a hill. It was the Bunny hill. You don't. You don't even move on the Bunny hill. Well, I did move and it was scary, so I stopped. It should be what activity has you taken up later in life and immediately? Quit.

31:03 Yeah, that's what it should. Hockey. Skiing. Listen, I figure at this point I'm, I'm brave enough just to try lots of things, so I'm doing it. I think once you get older, you don't give a shit anymore. So you're just like, I'll just try it. But when you're young, you're like, oh, I'm a little nervous to. I don't want. To look silly back out there skiing then. Well, because I don't have enough muscle for that yet. Yet I'm going to. I'm going to go back. Why aren't you playing hockey anymore? Because it sucks very hard. Very hard. Why do you keep playing golf? I like golf. Yeah, because yeah, you're riding a you're on a golf cart. No, we walk. Oh do. You yes oh the pushcart. OK, yes, we do good for. You, yes, that's good.

Yeah, Competitive sparring. Amazing, Christina says they moved from BC to Ontario in 2013. They started things that she and her husband used to do up when he grew here, grew up here, used to do when he grew here, whatever, you know, golf, playing darts, being involved in community theatre. In the last couple of years I've given lawn bowling a try and I enjoy that. I love all these new adventures and I look forward to new things to come. PS Did you give up and sell the ukulele yet, Rachel? We haven't.

I believe you're going to go skiing when I hear it. Like David Foreman, I have my doubts. Yeah, well, you did. But you did. You did I. Did go but. She didn't ski. Right, yeah, Heather says she took up pickleball at age 43, and she's the youngest in her group. I believe that I. Believe that. I believe that. Yep. Sharon says she started weight lifting and running at age 50. Wow, I. Started running at 50. I started running in my 50s. I did. Yep. Yeah. Wow, that's real lifting.

33:11 You're never too late. I'm not a weight lifter, but I have a weight machine here at home that I've been using quite a bit this winter actually, so. Miriam says she took up cross country skiing at 63. Not hard, that's tough. That is hard. I've heard it's harder than downhill. Yeah, it's, yeah, it's difficult. I had to do that all through my childhood and did all the levels of. Things you remember Rachel was the captain of his cross country ski team. Right, right, President. My dad was actually the president of the ski club. Wow. Good for him. I'm not surprised. To see, to all of us, we were the only kids that were forced to do cross country skiing. Well, everyone else got to go downhill and go snowboarding, not you. Not you, but you could cross a field like nobody's business. Yeah, if it was flat, I could ski it. Nanette says.

Yeah. Anyway, there's lots of, lots of comments on that. So thank you very much. You can let us know if you've taken up something later in life. I want to hear about it. Yes, we have a few messages on our website from Lindsay Devoe. Lindsay, our friend from Halifax. We've had several from her that I don't think we've gotten to. Oh OK, she says. Hey guys, just finished listening to the last couple of the most recent episodes. She's behind. That's why Foreman. What's wrong with living in Dartmouth in all caps, She says #1. The dark side, yeah, it is the dark side. I've been to Halifax so.

34:52 She's not from Halifax, she's from Dartmouth. Yeah, I've been to Halifax twice, but never been to Dartmouth. Lindsay, sorry to. Dartmouth. Well, driven through it anyway. You know, it's easy to make fun of. I quite enjoy downtown Dartmouth. I quite enjoy taking the ferry to downtown Dartmouth. It's quite lovely there. Yeah, Miss Dirtmouth, Dirtmouth, Dirtmouth, Dirtmouth. Okay, that's why you can get a T-shirt with the smokestacks in Dartmouth as giant cigarettes. Okay, okay. That makes sense for people there. There's a great David, There's a great, great, great brewery downtown Dartmouth that has like 20 something different beers and taps from all other different breweries. It's amazing.

35:37 Oh, OK, yeah. Battery Park, Battery Park. I love it down there. Lindsay So and I used to go at like 5:00 AM, stop at Alderney Landing, go right at the edge of the harbor and have a little moment with coffee to myself. See the sun come up over the city before the morning show would start. Sometimes you'd see a sea, sometimes you'd see floating garbage, you know, whatever. It was nice, it was lovely. Good for you, Foreman, she also says, Dave, we had raccoons on our roof. Never made it into the attic, just played on the roof. We live in a row of townhouses and wondered how they got up there. Apparently they can climb up the waterspout. Thing they can climb, they can climb and they can peel back your soffit.

36:19 Just saying. Oh gosh. Anyway, she says from Lindsay from Dartmouth in. Caps lives in Dartmouth, OK. Yeah, I mean, I knew that. I was hoping that roof, that comment would get that reaction. I always have some. I don't know. I always think that that you know, any place with a must, you know, Germans, Dartmouth, Plymouth, I don't know. There's just, they're usually never mind Lindsay. Yeah. That's why in one of Lindsay's previous messages that we hadn't got to yet, she said. I wanted to mention that my husband allowed my two kids, aged 10 and five, to watch the movies Happy Gilmore and Happy Gilmore 2. Oh, bad idea.

37:01 Ever. Yeah, but a lot of that would go over their heads. Anything goes in Dartmouth. Anything goes. You know what Jeremy and I have been arguing a lot lately about what I allow Julia to watch and how it's not appropriate. And I'm like, OK, like Saturday Night Live and. Well, she wouldn't understand what's going on. That's what I said. I was like, she doesn't she? Doesn't. I never understood why and I know that you guys talked about this. I used to let my kids, my older kids, watch The Simpsons because I would watch it with them and then I would say to their mother, they don't. I think it's hysterically funny. They don't even get it. Yeah. They're just watching it because it's animated. Exactly.

37:42 I watched it every day after school. It was it was home improvement, family Matters, The Simpsons and St. Sense. But I never understood. I never understood parents saying I don't want you, I don't wanna, I don't want you watching The Simpsons. No, they said we weren't allowed. But I I thought it was funny and now I realized so much of it, I had no idea how funny it was. You didn't know. You didn't? Yeah. No, I I wasn't allowed to watch that. No, my after school was saved by the Bell and The Golden Girls actually. And ready or not. That's okay, but The Simpsons aren't. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, really. I don't know. You're also Golden Girls now, and you realize how much that you're glad you didn't know when you were 10. Yes.

38:23 Probably true. Yeah, Yeah, I have another message from Howie who wrote to us on our website. I was listening to your episode about Rachel's fun facts about sloths. Here's some more fun facts about them. Female 3 toed sloths emit high, loud, high pitched screams in D sharp. They've actually tuned it to attract mates from up to 700 meters away. These, often considered silent animals use this vocalization when in heat, causing males to race towards them. Baby sloths also make high pitched squeaks or meeps if separated from their mother. How fast do they race towards each other? Yeah. That's what I want to.

39:04 Do that's why it's got to be a loud long. Their sloth. Noise so the other sloth can get there. Look at that sloth. Racing. Yeah. It's like Rachel at the top of the Bunny hill. Don't just come down here. I'm praying. Don't just say come down. Somebody catch? Me. I'm stuck. I hate this so much. And that all happens in D Sharp.
