Increasingly Harder - Powered by Sparkle Princess Parties! (Ep. 131)

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,120
Doesn't Dave's hat make him look
like Nardwire?

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,360
Nardwire.
Remember Nardwire from Much

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,240
Music?
I didn't have cable.

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,840
You didn't have cable.
Right.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,520
Good.
Only Rachel knows who nardwire.

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,800
I'm going to put it side by side
of Dave and Nardwire, and you'll

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,800
see, 'cause he wore a hat just
like that.

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,800
That's.
A reference more obscure than

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,080
Anna Nah.
Lana, everybody knows Lana na.

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,880
No, I don't think they do.
If you took French in the 90s,

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,520
you know Lana Na.
What is Lana?

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,240
Telle.
Francais telle Francais.

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:46,320
Bonjour alo salou bam bam telle
Francais, telle Francais.

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,280
Learn French from.
Francais.

15
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:50,640
Pineapple puppets.
That's.

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,680
Why?
I recently looked that up on

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,080
YouTube for some reason and it
is so creepy.

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,960
Claymation like it's very no.
They're puppets, I thought.

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,320
I know, but they look like clay.
Anyway, they're very creepy.

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,280
I don't know how we watched
that, but we did.

21
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:07,800
That's why we still don't really
know French.

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:19,560
That's exactly why.
This, by the way, is due to

23
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,840
underwhelming demand, the
podcast that is as Canadian as

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,400
Maple syrup, and bonus hosted by
three saps.

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,200
Saps Yeah, you're welcome.
We yeah.

26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,480
Happy Canada Day.
We are Dave, Rachel and Foreman.

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,080
This fine podcast, which is
always available for

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,080
sponsorship, by the way, is
brought to you by Sparkle

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,120
Princess Parties.
We'll get to that in just a

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,800
second.
Want to let you know what's

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,320
coming up because Rachel has to
have a reservation.

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,680
Has to or else.
Mm hmm.

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,720
The keg takes those.
Yep.

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680
Yep, they do.
Only reservations and only gift

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,080
cards.
Yeah, whatever.

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,480
Warman has a good idea, a bad
idea for us.

37
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,080
And I just want to talk about
Canada Day, so that's all coming

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,120
up.
But let's talk about Sparkle

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,840
Princess parties, yes?
She's she must be out today

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,160
somewhere painting Maple Leafs
on people's faces, because I

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,920
hope so.
Good grief, is she ever good?

42
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:24,560
Making you look like a Beaver.
Making you look like a moose.

43
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,520
He has any you could look like.
A goose like her?

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,400
Canada.
Goose.

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,480
I would like her to make me look
like a Beaver.

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Yeah, I would like that too.
Actually, I'd.

47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,800
Love to see that yes, I'm
dressed.

48
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,000
As a Beaver for Groundhog Day,
remember that.

49
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,160
I sure did, yeah, but it.
Was a good time, but.

50
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,480
The alternative to wearing a big
heavy mascot costume when it

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,480
feels like 40 something degrees
would be just painted on your

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,640
face.
Exactly.

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,960
Yeah, Abigail can do that.
She is the owner of Sparkle

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Princess Parties, the owner and
the operator because she'll come

55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,680
to your party or your event or
you're, I don't know, maybe

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,600
you're having an outdoor
festival, whatever you're doing,

57
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,240
and she'll do face painting,
she'll do glitter tattoos, she's

58
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400
got hair, tinsel.
She'll come to your birthday

59
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,080
party or themed party, whatever
you're doing with themed crafts

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,560
and activities.
Imagine you're having a pool

61
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,440
party in August and you need all
the crafts.

62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,880
You need the entertainment, you
need the fun.

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,680
You don't want to be the
entertainment and the fun and

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,320
provide everything.
No, no.

65
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,040
Sure don't.
Yeah, that's what you want as a

66
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,360
parent.
You don't want to have to do all

67
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,040
that.
You pay to go somewhere else.

68
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,400
You pay so that it's they have
to clean up and set out for you.

69
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,800
And you don't have to clean up
your house.

70
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,080
It just makes it a lot.
Easier.

71
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,400
We don't want to do it.
Worth every penny.

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,200
How many birthday parties have
you thrown, Dave?

73
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,640
I don't.
I don't.

74
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,120
OK, it hasn't been as easy as
hiring Sparkle Christmas

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,400
parties.
That's right, she'll come and

76
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,160
she'll get your kids all dolled
up.

77
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,160
And when we say face painting,
we mean awesome face painting.

78
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,400
Like airbrush type quality face
painting not the only.

79
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,680
Way you'll know Dave isn't the
Beaver is that he's not eating

80
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,400
wood.
Yeah, otherwise.

81
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,800
Distinguishable.
You go wow, is that a Beaver at

82
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,680
my party?
A real Beaver.

83
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,160
Yes, it is.
Holy cow he's wearing a nardwar

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,680
hat.
Wow, what?

85
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,800
Do you?
What is nardwar?

86
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,320
I don't even know what that is.
Somebody else has to remember

87
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,800
Nardwar, he was from much music.
He had his own little shtick

88
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,480
there anyway.
OK, stop.

89
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,800
OK, fine with Rick the Temp.
Do you know Rick the Temp?

90
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:31,960
Tell me you know Rick the temp.
No, no.

91
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,320
Yes, you do.
No, yes, only because he's on

92
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,520
CHFI now.
Oh, easy.

93
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Yes, I think so.
Or breakfast television.

94
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,760
Actually, I think this is.
The way he did shout out the

95
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,400
Sparkle Princess out parties
because we've gotten off track.

96
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,240
Yes, sparkle Princess parties
she you can.

97
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,280
She's in Woodstock, but she'll
go around the area.

98
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,440
You can find her on Facebook and
Instagram.

99
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,320
Just look Sparkle Princess
parties.

100
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,960
I'll put her info in the show
notes or at the bottom of the

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,200
screen here, you can check it
out.

102
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,320
So here we are.
As we record this, it's a few

103
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,440
days before, but as the podcast
comes out, it happens to be

104
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,640
Canada Day.
So my question to the two of

105
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,520
you, what are you doing for
Canada Day Foreman?

106
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,840
Bitching about Saint Thomas's
celebrations.

107
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Why?
Are they not good?

108
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,760
I wasn't expecting that, but I'm
in no say more.

109
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,400
Because they change the location
of which park, they do all the

110
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,600
celebrations and it's a big to
do in Saint.

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Like, they have lots of fun,
lots of stuff to do, huge

112
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,680
fireworks, anything you could
want in a Canada Day town

113
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,800
celebration that used to be
within walking distance of our

114
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,360
home and now it's 15 minutes
across town.

115
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,920
And.
Last year, trying to get out of

116
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,440
the parking lot after the
fireworks took about as long as

117
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,320
the entire fireworks.
Show.

118
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:01,480
That's annoying.
I just, it just grinds my gears.

119
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,800
It will happen down the street.
You know what grinds my gears?

120
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,480
Yeah.
Happy Canada Day.

121
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,800
Too bad Forman.
No.

122
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,040
Well, they have, they have
fireworks in my town too.

123
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,280
And my sister is coming to visit
here.

124
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:18,440
She's staying at my mom's house,
who lives around the corner from

125
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,240
me, and she arrives on Canada
Day, her and her family.

126
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,480
So we'll see them and then we'll
spend it with them.

127
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,480
I think they get here early in
the morning and then is that?

128
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,000
Canadian though.
What do you like?

129
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,120
What don't you do?
Something like, you know,

130
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,600
Canadian, don't you?
Don't.

131
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,000
You celebrate, don't you?
Put on a a stupid shirt, yes.

132
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Yeah, we all have Canada Day
shirts.

133
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,960
I just today actually bought new
Canada Day shirts for my kids.

134
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,600
I'm so surprised that you never
ever do anything for any holiday

135
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,560
other than maybe a little bit
for Christmas.

136
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,520
I do so much for Christmas 1
two.

137
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,320
I do have Canada Day shirts and
I have for years.

138
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,680
OK, so what's your what's your
plan for Canada?

139
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,560
What will you do then?
Rachel on.

140
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Canada swim in my pool.
OK well in our town they do a a

141
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,720
Canada Day bicycle parade, so
you have to decorate your

142
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,520
bicycle.
Oh, do you have one?

143
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Yes, I have a bike, and my
bicycle's red actually are.

144
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,200
You participating or are?
You already are you already

145
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,080
working on that?
Are you working on?

146
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,880
Well, I just have Canada Day
stuff like I have decor that I

147
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,240
could stick on there, OK.
So when you get up in the

148
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,760
morning, do you have AI?
Don't know a Canadian breakfast?

149
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,800
Like with Maple syrup, I.
Don't know Canadian bacon.

150
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,040
I don't know.
No, I mean all the Maple syrup I

151
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,240
made.
Yeah, Maple, that's.

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560
Very Canadian, have you with?
Blueberry pancakes and the

153
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,040
blueberries are from Nova
Scotia.

154
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,520
Sure.
I mean.

155
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Yeah, we might like, you know,
some sausages and eggs and bacon

156
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,240
and I don't know.
You don't, but you're you have

157
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,240
no plants.
No, I don't know what I'm gonna

158
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,960
do.
That's that bag of Canadian

159
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,160
stuff from Dollarama.
Days away, it's less than a

160
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,800
week.
Not days away, it's today.

161
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,200
It is well today.
Yeah, yeah.

162
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,120
The day this comes out, I don't
know why.

163
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,200
What's What are you gonna do?
Today, I feel like we're

164
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,600
building today's grand Canada
Day celebration.

165
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Well, we always do that.
I mean, every year we try to do

166
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,440
something a little different
because, and I'm not, I don't

167
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,560
really have to worry about going
to work, but other people in my

168
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,320
family family apparently do.
Everything was closed.

169
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Yes, but this weekend or this
Canada Day, which is on a

170
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Tuesday, that means if you're
lucky or if you can take Monday

171
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,679
off or whatever, depending, you
get an extra long weekend.

172
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,680
Four days, you get an extra long
weekend for Canada Today.

173
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,600
And my wife, God bless my wife,
I am with my wife.

174
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,160
I love the fact that she plans
ahead for stuff like this.

175
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,760
She looks at Canada Day and says
what will I do this year?

176
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:02,480
So she's working on a menu of
Canadian foods for 3-4 days.

177
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:04,920
We'll do a night.
We'll do a night with the

178
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,160
poutine.
We'll do like it.

179
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,680
Just that's why I'm asking, what
are you doing for Canada Day?

180
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,280
How do you celebrate Canada Day?
Do you really get into it?

181
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:17,160
No.
Or do you do like or are you

182
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,080
like Rachel?
Do you just go, well, that's

183
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,080
sort of a day.
But your wife is planning all

184
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,240
that.
What are you doing?

185
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,040
What are you going to be?
Here you're helping you.

186
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,680
Know there was no way.
You're helping.

187
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,760
You know what I was doing today?
I was outside decorating.

188
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,240
Wow, how?
Much decorating are you doing?

189
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,200
Not anything yet, no.
How much will you?

190
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,520
Do if I'll pull out my Canada
Day stuff.

191
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,720
That's what I do for Halloween,
although my kids have been at me

192
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,440
to get better Halloween
decorations, so every year we've

193
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,920
added to it a little more and
gotten better stuff.

194
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,640
You need the you need the
inflatable, remember.

195
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,360
Do you remember the whole Embro
inflatable Santa Claus thing?

196
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,800
Yes, yes.
How we actually discussed how

197
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,960
all those Santas from Home,
Hardware, very Canadian, all

198
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,400
came with a Maple Leaf on
Santa's chest.

199
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,520
Right.
Yes.

200
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,080
They had better be out today,
yes?

201
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,320
Yeah.
Are they gonna be I wonder?

202
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,040
I would we need an update on
that.

203
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,320
We saw, actually, we were out
shopping for more Canada Day

204
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,920
decorations today and saw an
inflatable Canadian flag, which

205
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,600
I loved.
I loved.

206
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,280
Like the whole flag or the OR
the leaf?

207
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,040
It's it's the leaf.
But it's an inflatable.

208
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,400
That's cool.
One of you against inflatables.

209
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,440
You didn't love them.
At one point, we we aren't.

210
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,560
We weren't.
But now we're all over them.

211
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:35,120
We love them.
We love.

212
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,320
Yes.
Anyway, I want this thing.

213
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,280
I don't want to pay what they
want to charge me.

214
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,160
No.
I.

215
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,960
Get it on sale on July 2nd.
It might be.

216
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,480
It might be going up next year.
Yes, that's fine.

217
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,360
That's the problem.
That's the way to do it, get a

218
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,120
good sale on those things for
next year.

219
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,800
OK, And then what are you
eating?

220
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,080
You're eating Canadian bacon.
You're eating Maple syrup.

221
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:01,960
I think usually, usually and,
and I, I want to preface this by

222
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,960
saying is you.
I think you know Foreman, but I

223
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,800
know Rachel does.
I had never until about 10 years

224
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,480
ago.
I'd never had poutine in my

225
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,440
life.
Never.

226
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,160
Which is insane and s'mores.
You hadn't had poutine or

227
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,680
s'mores?
Well, s'mores aren't

228
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,600
necessarily.
Canadians I can still do

229
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,640
without.
I tried s'mores once and went,

230
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,920
yeah, I don't get it.
I don't I don't get s'mores

231
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:25,720
right.
Poutine.

232
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,080
I think you're.
Not a marshmallow fan?

233
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,280
No, I don't like marshmallows,
but I get poutine.

234
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,160
I like poutine, so usually yeah.
Poutine on Canada Day for sure.

235
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,400
There will likely be burgers
involved because I still I still

236
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,480
think burgers are very Canadian.
Yeah, depending on how you do

237
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,800
them, probably only.
You know what I got from

238
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,160
Loblaws?
Oh.

239
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,800
Oh, you got something?
Yeah.

240
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,800
I got burgers that were Donaire
burgers.

241
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,760
Now that's Canadian and they're
delicious.

242
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,160
It's basically, you know,
donairs from out east.

243
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,840
Did you have?
Don't don't know what a donaire

244
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,400
is.
Oh yeah.

245
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:04,560
Well, like the sauce essentially
makes it a.

246
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,880
Literally the official food of
Halifax.

247
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,880
Ohh really?
Yes.

248
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,320
So it's like a special lamb
chowder when I was out there.

249
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,120
Isn't it like the meat is beef,
isn't it?

250
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,000
No, it's like lamb or what is
like shave.

251
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,720
It's on a spit.
Oh yeah, and they.

252
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,000
Shave it off and then they have
some kind of condensed milk

253
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,560
sauce you put on there with some
onions, so.

254
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:26,560
The sauce, it comes with the
sauce and it was the special

255
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:30,200
burger, I guess with the sauce
and you put the sauce on and it

256
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,960
was expensive though.
You only get four of them for

257
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,520
like 15 bucks but I but they're
good.

258
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,560
No, I can't.
Oh, it's seasoned ground beef

259
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:40,000
that is formed into a cone shape
and cooked on a vertical

260
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,000
rotisserie, then shaved off in
thin slices for use in donairs.

261
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,920
Yeah, OK.
OK, now you're talking.

262
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,960
There you go.
All right, I will look that up.

263
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,240
That seems very Canadian, that.
Is a very Canadian thing.

264
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,720
That's a new thing they have
this year had.

265
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,160
Never had it, I might try that.
What's for dessert?

266
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,160
Because an awful lot of people
could not recognize a trivia

267
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,920
question I used on the radio
last week.

268
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,520
Wafer, coconut custard and
chocolate are the layers of what

269
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,200
popular Canadian name dessert.
Wafers.

270
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:11,880
I think it's.
A coconut custard and chocolate.

271
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,640
It's a Nanaimo box.
Oh, Nanaimo, yeah.

272
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,240
Actually Foreman, I put an order
in at the mill for the the

273
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,080
foreman special the candidate
days.

274
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,400
That's what I.
Meant candidate.

275
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,840
A foreman's candidate.
A box of something, yes.

276
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,080
Yes, OK, interesting.
Rachel might have to go up there

277
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,320
then.
It's a long drive.

278
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,120
Yeah, they'll be gone.
Rage.

279
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,360
Yeah, they'll.
Try the time I get there on July

280
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,120
2nd, yeah?
They'll lean ahead.

281
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:55,800
Happy Canada Day.
This is due to underwhelming

282
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,560
demand.
We're Dave, Rachel and Foreman.

283
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:02,600
This is the podcast that's as
Canadian as poutine, and

284
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,920
probably just as good for you.
Full of fat.

285
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,240
Don't know about that, I didn't
say that anyway.

286
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,520

Sure, that goes out once a week?
Yep.

292
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,640
New episodes, some exclusive
content, sometimes right to your

293
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,120
inbox.
Something I also put work into

294
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,400
is booking reservations at
restaurants.

295
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,320
Every time we go to a
restaurant, I have to book a

296
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,000
reservation.
And recently I was going to a

297
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:56,400
restaurant that didn't take
reservations and Jeremy looked

298
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,440
ahead of time and he said they
don't take reservations.

299
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,400
I think he might have called
them and they're like, Nope, we

300
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,880
don't we they wouldn't take 1.
So I really had to think for a

301
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,200
day whether I wanted to go
there, think for a.

302
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,800
Day but I.
Hadn't gone to this one and I

303
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,880
really wanted to go and so we
did go and we lucked out that

304
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,040
there was no line up when we
arrived, which was like on a

305
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,720
Friday at or Saturday maybe at
6:00.

306
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,920
So it was a busy time, but that
day we lucked out.

307
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,000
There was no, there was no line
up to get in.

308
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,760
So that was good.
But there have been so many

309
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,720
times where I try to go to a
restaurant and we don't have a

310
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,280
reservation.
Maybe we're with friends and

311
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,600
they planned it.
They didn't book a reservation

312
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,960
or something.
Or we're just out and we need to

313
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,640
go eat somewhere and we go in.
No, it's going to be a 45 minute

314
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,440
wait.
I'm like, I'm not, I'm hungry

315
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,040
now.
I don't want to wait 45 minutes.

316
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,880
Right, I'm going to.
Go somewhere else because

317
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,520
there's all a whole bunch of
other restaurants around.

318
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,800
That I.
Could go to that will take

319
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,440
reservations.
First of all, if A, if a

320
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:08,400
restaurant doesn't take
reservations, I like that

321
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,840
restaurant.
There's something about that

322
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,960
restaurant that that appeals to
me because they don't need to

323
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,200
take reservations and I don't
want to have to make one.

324
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,200
They don't need to take
reservations because they're

325
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:29,280
busy.
And B, and you take this any way

326
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,960
you want.
I feel like if you, if I owned a

327
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,000
restaurant, the first thing I
wouldn't do is take a

328
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,560
reservation.
And the only and the reason I

329
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:45,800
wouldn't, I wouldn't take a
reservation is because unless or

330
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,800
there's, there's always a
caveat, but I'm not taking

331
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:54,360
reservations because I think
that probably of if you take

332
00:16:54,360 --> 00:17:00,360
reservations, 75% of the people
that book a reservation actually

333
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,119
show up, I don't think.
That's true.

334
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,800
I got 25% of my restaurant that
I had set aside for you

335
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,640
goofballs that have to have a
reservation and you don't show

336
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,319
and you don't call.
You never call to cancel.

337
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:19,720
I would call.
To cancel maybe?

338
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,599
You do?
When was the last time you

339
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:25,160
cancelled a reservation?
Bet you do it all the time, no?

340
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,760
I have kids.
If we go.

341
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,160
We're if we've planned it, we're
going.

342
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,440
What have you got a sick?
Kid.

343
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,840
Then I would have to call and
cancel.

344
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,520
Yeah, of course.
But now it's.

345
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,920
So easy to make a reservation on
OpenTable.

346
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,920
You just get the app, you book,
you find your restaurant, I.

347
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,760
Don't need to be people, I
don't.

348
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,760
I don't need to be on OpenTable,
I argue.

349
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,040
That restaurants that are very
busy have to take reservations

350
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,800
and some are booked for months
in advance.

351
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,240
If they're that busy, you can't
get a table at these places.

352
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,440
Well, if they're that good if
you're an.

353
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,160
Exclusive restaurant that
everybody needs to go.

354
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,560
Two.
Yeah, maybe you probably take

355
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,240
reservations, but I could tell
you there's at least two, maybe

356
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,160
3 restaurants that I frequent
where they don't take

357
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,640
reservations.
I know they don't.

358
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,640
The one restaurant I eat at all
the time and the phone

359
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,360
constantly rings and they
constantly say we don't take

360
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:20,640
reservations because that's what
people want.

361
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,680
Why don't they?
Take.

362
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,200
What is the reason?
Because they don't.

363
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,760
Need to and because you'll
cancel, they don't need 5

364
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,480
people.
I can't.

365
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,200
I'm not cancelling, that's for
sure.

366
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,240
If I'm making a reservation, I'm
going out.

367
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,840
I've.
Heard stories.

368
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,000
I've heard stories.
Let me, well, let me put it to

369
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:36,360
you.
This.

370
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:39,240
Way there's more places with
reservations because I hate

371
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,120
having to go somewhere Yeah, I
know I can get a drink at the

372
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:45,680
bar or whatever, but I'm you
think the bar is. 4 Go sit.

373
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,080
At the bar, typically driving,
I'm only going to have one.

374
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,880
So if I have one at the bar, I'm
not having it.

375
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,080
At my table you get an.
Appetizer If you're hungry, you

376
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,760
can go.
I have always have to walk in

377
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,080
the way that they are.
I'm not taking reservations.

378
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,680
I don't want to have to go and I
want to know that I have a seat.

379
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,720
If there isn't a seat, I'm going
to leave.

380
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,920
I guess they don't care about
that.

381
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,240
You can't.
Live by the seat of your pants.

382
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,960
Well, sometimes I can and we
have obviously because I went to

383
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,280
that other one.
But I hate that they don't take

384
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,560
reservation.
I just if it's if there is a

385
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,280
lineup and I have to wait more
than like 20 minutes or

386
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,280
something, I'm not waiting.
Oh no.

387
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,560
I'm not going to wait.
Do you make?

388
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,880
Reservations.
And if not, will you wait and

389
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,160
for how long?
OK.

390
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,560
I have, leave us a comment.
Let us know for sure.

391
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Send us an e-mail.
Let us know.

392
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:35,440
I have waited the longest I
think I've ever waited when I

393
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,280
didn't have a reservation when
they said, oh, it's going to be,

394
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,840
it could be an hour, maybe even
longer.

395
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,000
I'm like, OK, can I go to the
bar?

396
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,000
Yeah, go to the bar.
And so I just go to the bar and,

397
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,240
you know, I think the longest
might have been 30 to over 30

398
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,720
minutes, but most of the time
I've waited at.

399
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,880
Least an hour.
Oh, I've many times.

400
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,640
Ever.
Ever.

401
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,000
I've never had, Yeah.
But that's typically when we're

402
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,760
with a group of friends and one
person has been.

403
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,960
In charge and they did not make
a.

404
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,280
Reservation if you're a large.
Party which?

405
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,120
Is so stupid.
You have to have a.

406
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,800
Reservation I have.
Good friends and they like to

407
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,920
make reservations and that's
their thing.

408
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,120
I, I get it.
But my, my thing is people that

409
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:20,400
make reservations, I don't think
really care.

410
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,040
They don't care about the
restaurant.

411
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,000
They don't care if something
comes up and you can't you're,

412
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:28,960
you know, a sick child or
something happens or whatever.

413
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,520
The last thing you're going to
do is call the restaurant and

414
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,840
cancel because I mean, if it's
a.

415
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,600
Real emergency?
I guess not.

416
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,880
It's.
Not on your mind.

417
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,560
They're probably only.
Holding the table for 10 or 15

418
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,080
minutes anyway, if you don't
show up in that time, they're

419
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,360
going to release it the.
Only way I'm taking a

420
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:47,280
reservation from you, Rachel, is
if I can have your credit card

421
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,520
number.
Oh my.

422
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,360
God, what are you going to
charge me for?

423
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,040
I don't know.
I'll charge you a no.

424
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Show fee like they're going to
start doing in Quebec July 17th.

425
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,000
See.
That's a thing.

426
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,440
That's a thing.
Reservations.

427
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,280
There's one.
Steakhouse in Montreal that says

428
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,120
they'll get sometimes 15 no
shows of two or more customers a

429
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:11,880
day see no shows and so.
Oh God and he.

430
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,000
Doesn't think the new fee is
going to be high enough because

431
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,840
the new fee is $10 a person for
no shows starting July 17th

432
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,720
anywhere in Quebec, but that
restaurant owner actually wants

433
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,320
it to be 20 bucks.
Yeah, I don't blame.

434
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,800
Them you're costing, just say
we're releasing.

435
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,400
The table, if you don't show up
right on time like you're done,

436
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,240
we're going to give it to the
next person, then you.

437
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,120
Pissed off someone waiting at
the door, but they didn't have

438
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:36,280
to wait.
Shouldn't have had to wait

439
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,640
because you weren't going to go.
Well, it's a double.

440
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,800
Edged sword because if I'm If
I'm waiting at the door because

441
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,680
you've taken reservations, then
I'm mad.

442
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,720
If I'm waiting at the door
because you haven't take

443
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,920
reservations, haven't taken,
then I'm also mad I've.

444
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,320
Waved at you from the borrower.
I'm having a drink and I'm

445
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760
having a nice time.
I don't care whatever.

446
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:53,960
I need a.
Reservation.

447
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,920
Well, my kids.
Are sitting at the bar with me.

448
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,120
No, they're raised.
Causing so much trouble.

449
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,760
Yeah, we need a table.
Yeah, in the dining room,

450
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:05,440
please.
Just need to.

451
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,120
Relax, I need a.
Booth to.

452
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:11,160
Contain them, yes, and it.
Has to be a booth, Yeah, not a

453
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,480
high table.
All chairs.

454
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,920
Thank God.
I'll bet they.

455
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,480
Take reservations at the Keg,
they sure.

456
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,000
Do Dave?
They sure do.

457
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:39,800
Of course they do.
This is due to underwhelming

458
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,080
demand.
It's a podcast.

459
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,640
It's the podcast that's as
Canadian as Eugene Levy's

460
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,640
eyebrows, just just not as
beloved.

461
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,040
Not quite.
The podcast isn't.

462
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,280
Quite as beloved, no?
You're not not like those

463
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,880
eyebrows.
That's a.

464
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,600
High brow to me.
Proud.

465
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,000
Yeah.
Yeah, very good, very hot.

466
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,920
You're making the.
Face of the dog in that meme.

467
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,120
I sent that to my my new boss
the other day and she hated it.

468
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,600
And like that, she did get.
With the.

469
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,280
Program, this is the best meme
there is or ever.

470
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,000
Will be missed to you.
Once a week.

471
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,840
And I sent it again, yes.
Which you?

472
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,880
Could judge on whether or not
that's a good or bad idea, which

473
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,360
is like what I'd like to do now,
OK?

474
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:30,680
Good idea, bad idea.
It's time for another good idea,

475
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,560
bad idea.
Very.

476
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,920
Good, actually.
Briefly, because of our last

477
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,200
discussion, we'd like to start
with the Should you be allowed

478
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,280
to charge people for a no show
reservation?

479
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,280
That's a good idea.
I.

480
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,760
Actually.
Do think that's a good idea?

481
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,360
Because I think it's rude that
you haven't shown up.

482
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,200
Good.
Idea so.

483
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,840
Starting July 17th in all of
Quebec, restaurants will be able

484
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:59,680
to charge up to $10 a person for
no shows, but only if the

485
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,400
reservation is for five people
or more.

486
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,600
However, restaurant tours will
not be allowed to charge the fee

487
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,240
if at least one member of the
group shows up to eat.

488
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,080
So if you booked for six people.
And Vol.

489
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,240
Five of them can't come, so you
come by yourself.

490
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Nobody's getting charged 10
bucks, so you would have.

491
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,320
Made 60 bucks and then does one
person eat that much?

492
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,960
I don't know, probably.
Not but in.

493
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,480
How you get collect that money,
I don't know.

494
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,720
Well.
One person maybe you take.

495
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,720
Credit cards like Dave would
take mine, right?

496
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,080
Well, maybe that's.
They would have.

497
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,320
To to be in order to book the
reservation, you got to leave

498
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,720
your card, Yeah.
Well, you know one person's

499
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,160
going to take up a table,
whether you know they're still

500
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,240
taking up a table.
So sure, you know, if they show

501
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,360
and they take up a table,
they're still not going to give

502
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:49,320
you the.
I don't know.

503
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,400
All right, I'd.
Say good idea, it's a good.

504
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,040
Idea to charge?
Yeah, I think.

505
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,480
Yeah, you should.
Why not just?

506
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,480
It'll become normal, just
agreement.

507
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,000
Yeah.
How'd that happen?

508
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:00,200
I don't know.
Good idea.

509
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,720
How about?
This opening, well construction

510
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,680
is starting this fall.
It will be open next spring.

511
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,000
It is Costco, but without pretty
much everything.

512
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,920
No hot dogs, no stuff, no carts,
none of that nonsense.

513
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,560
It's Costco's first ever stand
alone gas station.

514
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:23,920
Oh, I.
Heard about that?

515
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,200
Good idea.
That's a.

516
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,520
Great idea.
The only.

517
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,880
Thing Mission Vieiro Costco in
California will sell is

518
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,440
gasoline, yeah.
Good idea.

519
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:34,760
Good.
Idea.

520
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,560
Ohh, fun.
Fact Dave, I went to Costco on

521
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,280
Saturday, this past Saturday and
it was like not busy at all.

522
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,480
I couldn't, couldn't believe
that's a bad idea.

523
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:44,760
Bad.
Idea.

524
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,440
I know I knew it.
Was a bad idea.

525
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,960
I as I was going there, I'm
like, but I have to go.

526
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,200
I got to return something and
get something else and then, and

527
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,360
then I got there and we easily
parked in the very first row.

528
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:58,800
Like no trouble getting a spot.
It was almost, it was like

529
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,840
deader than it usually is during
the week, but it was late

530
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,040
afternoon on a Saturday and so I
think the busy part had ended

531
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,080
and people were almost never.
Ever set foot in a Costco late

532
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,720
Saturday afternoon?
So it was.

533
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,680
Not busy, I wouldn't.
I would never go near less busy.

534
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,960
Than when I go on like Tuesday
mornings I would.

535
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,400
Never go near a cost.
I don't.

536
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,200
Know about that?
For you that's still a bad I

537
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:26,280
take scuts and I would never
ever ever because I hate the

538
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,920
South London Costco.
I wouldn't I wouldn't go to it

539
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:31,520
first thing in the morning any
day of the week.

540
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,200
I hate it out you.
Wouldn't go why I hate it.

541
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,440
There I just the South London.
Because it's opposite.

542
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,200
Well, I totally.
Opposite.

543
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,280
I never go to the.
North one.

544
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,840
There's just.
Nothing.

545
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,600
Nothing about it makes sense.
Nothing.

546
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,000
Organized by design.
By design when they opened.

547
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
It it was very confusing.
You couldn't find.

548
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,680
Anything for a long time.
So I'm skeptical of the first

549
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,080
stand alone gas station.
However, how many?

550
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,280
Again, I don't go to Costco
because I hate it.

551
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,440
How many pumps are at a typical
Costco gas station right now?

552
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,000
I can tell you there.
Oh.

553
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,400
Well, there's three in a row,
and then there's like there's

554
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,960
two rows.
Here at least. 5 rows 4 I would

555
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,440
say a minimum 15 I think. 12:00
I could be wrong, it could be

556
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:25,280
60. 912 Well, this new one will
have 40. 40 pumps, 40 pumps OK

557
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,360
and nothing.
Else, no, there's nothing there

558
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:29,800
but 40.
Pumps in a field, I'm in favor.

559
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,720
Of that, I like it.
Sure, I think.

560
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,560
That's a great idea there.
Good.

561
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,120
Idea I mean.
I can't.

562
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,760
Possibly.
Imagine you ever having to wait

563
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,920
for a pump if there's 40, no.
Like a normal, like a truck

564
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,120
stuff doesn't even have 40 no.
It doesn't.

565
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,840
Truck steps don't.
Have that many depends on the.

566
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,280
Time of day you're going to be
waiting.

567
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,920
I've been in lineups at the
Costco gas pump for the 4:40.

568
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,120
Usually.
Four or five deep and it's not

569
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:57,320
fun because most people don't
know what they're doing.

570
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,240
No, most people get up there and
they've got ohh, do I need my

571
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,000
Costco card?
Do I need my debit card?

572
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,720
Yeah.
Like it's just crazy.

573
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,520
That's me getting.
Propane at Costco?

574
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,960
I don't know what the fuck I'm
doing exactly.

575
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,360
And they don't want you to know.
And it's different depending on

576
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:14,200
location.
Yes, by design.

577
00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:15,120
True.
It's true.

578
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:16,160
I don't know that that's.
True.

579
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,280
Is this gas?
Station going to be near a

580
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,640
Costco or is it just like no I?
Don't.

581
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,920
Not even close.
To not even.

582
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,600
Just you're just assuming all.
Those people in that area have a

583
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,960
Costco card you would have.
To yes, you.

584
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,280
Need a Costco card to go so you
can go if you don't.

585
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,960
No, there's.
No return desk to sign up for

586
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,600
one.
No, God, you better not be.

587
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,960
No 40 pumps nothing else.
Get out, right?

588
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:40,960
Well.
Here's the thing.

589
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,520
It's good, I think.
That's a great idea.

590
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,440
I learned.
A long time ago that the Costco

591
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,280
in the North End, they open at
6:30 AM.

592
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,720
Fun fact, they open way earlier
than that.

593
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,720
I don't know what time they've
always.

594
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,200
I think the earliest I've ever
got there is like 615 and

595
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,640
they're always open and only.
Seniors would know that.

596
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,160
Huh.
Yeah, because I'm up early.

597
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:08,520
But I, so I, I get, I get into
my line, I go into a line on my

598
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,800
own.
I don't want to be bothered.

599
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000
And the most annoying thing to
me is when there's hardly

600
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,200
anybody there, why would anybody
come behind me?

601
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,000
Why are you in my lane 'cause
it's.

602
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,960
Open and they're not.
Find another.

603
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,760
Lane don't come near me.
Stay away.

604
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,440
Are you?
Don't worrying.

605
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,480
Around 'cause everybody.
Just goes to the middle.

606
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,280
No, I.
Always go to the end because I

607
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,400
wanna be left alone.
I want to be the first one out

608
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,560
at the farthest end.
Yes.

609
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,080
I don't.
Want anyone near me?

610
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,120
Nothing annoys me more than when
there's hardly anybody there.

611
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,320
Somebody shows up behind me.
I literally swear at them before

612
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,520
they get out of their car.
Right.

613
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,040
OK, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, God.

614
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,120
You wouldn't, you wouldn't be
caught dead if they could

615
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:52,920
overhear you.
That's.

616
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,640
No, no, I would be dead if they
could overhear me.

617
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,760
Yes, bad idea.
Bad idea.

618
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,080
This is due to underwhelming
demand.

619
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,560
It's a podcast.
Of course it is.

620
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,200

00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,360

total.

647
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,600
I know, I can't believe.
We're almost at 150, yeah.

648
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,360
That's incredible.
That's crazy.

649
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,800
I'm even impressed and I don't
impress easily.

650
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,320
That's who doesn't want that
audience.

651
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,800
That's your business or service.
Absolutely.

652
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:53,800
That's right.
To us, they're.

653
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,240
Loyal to you?
Exactly.

654
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,080
And some, some of this audience
even is so loyal, they've gone

655
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,720
out of their way to not only
listen to country 104 where

656
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:03,920
we're number one for new
country.

657
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,000
Yes, for him and Forman.

anywhere, including Nova Scotia.

660
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,800
OK.
All right.

661
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,480
Yes, good.
Yes.

662
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,480
But they also sometimes
participate in contests on said

663
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,000
radio station.
Oh, fun.

664
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,520
And then when we get into phone
conversations like this, it with

00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:30,800
Sherry from Granton, which is

Yes, Kirkton.
And wood or depending.

669
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,280
On which way you're going,
Woodham and Kirkton.

00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,320
Sure.
And Saint Mary's, OK.

Yes, yes, I know Brian from
Saint Mary's, you know.

672
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,480
Brian, yes, you know.
What's actually really funny?

673
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,160
So I went to public school with
Ian and high school with Rachel.

674
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,640
That's hilarious.
Fun fact, yes, I've been

675
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,320
actually listening to the
podcast right now when my phone

676
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,480
rang.
I know everything about you.

677
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,480
Oh.
My God, it's so funny.

678
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,400
And I went to the live show and
I was I that's the last time I

679
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,200
saw Brian there.
Oh.

680
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,320
Gosh, Sherry, did we?
I.

681
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,920
Hope we talked or something
then, did we?

682
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,520
Well, I actually don't know.
I was talking to Rachel.

683
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,600
But Mel, Melissa V, she's my
best friend, so I know you guys

684
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,080
were talking and she was doing.
I was standing with her when she

685
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,600
was getting ready to do your
pictures.

686
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,400
Yeah, Melissa.

Melissa V Photography I know
Sherry, I know who you're

688
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,720
talking.
Yes, I went to high school with

689
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,720
Sherry and Foreman's friend Ian,
who also works in radio, who we

690
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,720
foreman and I were both at in
college with actually, so I

691
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,000
never.
Radio person that you guys all

692
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,000
know.
Wow, that's amazing.

693
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,240
Yeah.
Yeah.

694
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,600
Oh, yeah, of course I know,
Cher.

695
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,920
Yeah, we're the same age.
Went to school together all

696
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,320
through high school.
And I did see her at the live

697
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,880
show and I was talking to her,
of course.

698
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,920
And then?
I interrupted her listening to

699
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,400
this in order to play a game and
now she got free tickets to see

700
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Dasha at London Music Hall.
Fun for her.

701
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,600
OK, great.
Well, that's good.

702
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,160
Thank you, Sherry.
That's so nice.

703
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,160
I'm glad you.
I'm glad you found where Foreman

704
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,960
is now too.
Yes, same.

705
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,520
And Joanne?
Joanne's always been here.

706
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,760
She's left a comment on Spotify.
Hershey lady Joanne.

707
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,199
Oh yes.
Joanne, Yes, yes.

708
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,639
She says hi Dave, Rachel and
Foreman.

709
00:34:20,679 --> 00:34:24,520
I've listened to every one of
your episodes and I must say

710
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,719
this one was one of the
funniest.

711
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,120
Episode 129, What happened on
that one?

712
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,719
OK.
Let me look it up.

713
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,159
Called.
Entitled swinging party man.

714
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,360
Oh yeah.
Oh, right, that was.

715
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,199
My sex toy party.
Yeah, the sex.

716
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:42,920
Toy party Sex toy party.
That's right, your new.

717
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,040
Pest Foreman's new pest and Dave
got sick again.

718
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,880
Dave got sick.
Yeah, anyway, so that was one of

719
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,520
the funniest, says Joanne.
Thanks for making me laugh.

720
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,120
You guys are not only the best,
but you're such wonderful

721
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,040
people, all with such a great
sense of humor.

722
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,360
You're doing now what you were
always meant to do, make people

723
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,280
smile.
Thank you.

724
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,760
Oh.
Oh, well, well, well, thank you.

725
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,200
I.
Was called her Sherry, but I

726
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,520
mean, Joanne, thank you, Joanne.
That's so nice.

727
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,160
Yeah, thank.
You and also on Spotify.

728
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:17,720
Also on the same episode.
Megan has commented that my

729
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:23,000
sister and I often gift each
other Dick themed items for any

730
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:29,600
occasion, just like before you.
You could check out, actually I

731
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,520
have a few that I've I've
learned of that you could.

732
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,920
Yeah, you.
Flag you could add.

733
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,200
To your list, yeah, flag them
for you just before I continue.

734
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,560
Reading that though, imagine
giving a Dick themed anything to

735
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,080
your own sister.
I can't I think.

736
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,040
It.
Would be a bad idea for me, yes.

737
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,560
You have one.
I have two.

738
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,880
Sisters, and neither one of them
have ever or will ever get

739
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,560
anything and give.
One to my sister.

740
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,920
But if I gave one to my sister
and or my mom, that would be

741
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,680
hysterically funny to me.
I would that would be so funny.

742
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,760
Well, give.
I'll tell you what you do, you

743
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,760
give your sister and your mom a
Dick themed gift on behalf of

744
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,280
Foreman and I 'cause we're not
giving one to ours from you.

745
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,560
You know, yes, I'll say love,
David.

746
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,040
Love.
David Foreman.

747
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,960
That's Make sure it's Dick
themed.

748
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,320
We don't care.
You know I'm gonna get the.

749
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,600
Decanter the Dick.
Decanter the Dick.

750
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,560
Dick, yeah.
Good idea.

751
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,720
Well, Megan does go on to say
that the only rule is it can't

752
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:33,240
be an actual toy.
OK.

753
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,240
That's fair enough.
Yeah, this.

754
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,000
Started when?
One year for Christmas.

755
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,840
Enough of them.
I can tell you that there aren't

756
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,600
enough.
Yeah.

757
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,640
It started when one year for
Christmas, we both unknowingly

758
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,840
gave each other a gift in that
theme.

759
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,160
OK.
She got.

760
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,960
Me a plushie and I got her a
coloring book.

761
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:57,000
Oh my.
Gosh, that's very funny it.

762
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:03,480
Is now getting increasingly
harder, unintended to find gifts

763
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,440
of this nature.
So thank you for the new ideas,

764
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,400
Rachel.
You're welcome.

765
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,400
I hope.
I hope they open all those gifts

766
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,040
in front of a big family around
the Christmas tree.

767
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:20,480
Absolutely yes PSI.
Just know this comment will get

768
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,600
read on this podcast.
I hope so.

769
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,040
Yeah, I couldn't let this.
Comment not get posted though,

770
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,600
so I am.
So sorry that we left it till

771
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,160
the end.
I wish that we'd started with

772
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,160
that.
We'll start the.

773
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,360
Next one like with the same
comment next time.

774
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,720
Yes.
Let's do an entire Dick themed

775
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:40,880
podcast, yes?
I'm down.
