Weirdo with the facts that you just bring up all the time, about 68% of the universe is dark energy, which is invisible to us, while visible light energy, what you can see, makes up less than 1% of all energy in the universe.

15:28 So you actually can't see a lot of the energy. The dark energy in the universe, we only see about 1% of it. I see a lot of red. I feel the room is torn. I'd like to ask the people who think that's fun what you think was fun of us. Well, I just thought it was fascinating at Google that guys Google it not.

Oh yeah. Yeah, I, I miss the wide open spaces. I'm, I'm and being a kid, just going out and be out in the field, out in the woods all day long. My parents would have no idea where I was all day. Having that freedom, that much space. You don't have that anymore when you're in a town. What about the animals? What animals? Did you have, I'm specifically not mentioning the animals we had. We had horses.

35:00 Other people boarded their horses there for a while. That was a real treat because they was falling told to care for them. Oh, you had to of. Course muck stalls and Phil Haynets, Yeah. Your horse. Yeah, there's always a random stray cat around. Oh, there's stray cats in my neighbor in my yard all the time, and I live in a town. There's always. Julia says you should adopt one. No, my dog Roxy is like a cat, so we've we've got one. Anyway, I don't miss the horse, even though when Ashley and I bought our first house and lived together in Saskatchewan, not only did we end up with a horse, we at one point owned two of them. Wow.

35:42 Yeah, when I met Ashley, she's like, I have a horse. I'm like, really? Yeah. Wow. Thanks for that I. Learned Foreman hated them. We just don't. We don't see that. Really, very, very curious. I really do. I do. Yeah. Why is that? That is the thing. Well. That's the one thing that's curious. Yeah, well, there's a lot of things that make me curious about you that's true for, but never mind, never mind. Do any of you, do any of you have a talent that you've kept hidden from your fans and you would like to reveal? I don't know nothing. It's like Foreman's an accomplished musician, I believe. Yeah, foreman's pretty good. Oh yeah, I've been drummer.

36:23 You're a drummer. Yeah. How old are you, Harley 11. I haven't really done that much in 11 years. Right. Yeah. Love you, worth it. But the drums are all packed up in the garage still. Ashley questions me from time to time. Why do we even still have these? Right. Well, you don't have them out and you're not using them, so. No, but I used to. I used to go out all the time. That was another gig that paid money. I would play at the the Whartley Tavern and we had like a seven piece R&B rock'n'roll soul Blues review band Christmas party. Yeah, he did, yeah. Yeah, I remember. Remember that I would love to play. If anyone needs a band member for an activity that would be great. Then we have a question live, I believe in the back of the room. Hi everyone, John here, long time listener, first time live podcaster.

37:14 First of all, I'm really disappointed Pluto's no longer a planet, but that's another story. So I think I speak for everyone in the room that we've all wondered today and over your last 99 podcast, are you folks all wearing pants? For one day only. I guess I was going to say I today we are. Yeah, today we are. Thank you, Josh, very nice for John to do that. By the way, John and his wife Jan are here and brought a giveaway. Yes, we have a giveaway. We.

37:55 Have a giveaway we invited everyone that has sponsored the podcast to come here for our live show today we a special invitation to our supporters and John and Jan actually bought some time with us this. Is to. Promote their book that was celebrating its 10th anniversary. It's called Never Give Up and it's a great little children's book which Jan wrote and illustrated. Thanks. Dan is up there. Yes, thank you. We have a real live author here and in addition to a real live actor. So thank you very much. There's there's not only the book, which is about saving the turtles in Long Point. So it's local.

38:36 I think I'm going to open this guy's story. There's also a stuffy. Stuffy. Super cute. Do you love turtles? You love stuffies? OK, well then I think this has to be yours, right? Yeah, there. You go. Rachel spills her beer. It's foaming everywhere. That's why I put all the equipment down at this end of the table. That's your laptop, not mine. Dress you up, I can't take you any. And we do have a voucher for two tickets to the Sissel Theatre's performance of the ladies foursome. This may be a little more difficult to choose a winner, and I'm just thinking off the top of my head here. Perhaps anyone who would like to ask a question or leave a comment using the microphone so graciously held by Dutch right there shall be eligible to win.

39:38 There we go. There you go. OK, perfect A. Question. Hi, I'm Janice Foreman. Did you ever get your wall fixed? Oh yeah, your wall. Did you get your wall? Fixed and did Ashley come through for you? Ashley Furniture not not as. Oh yeah, I was going to say. If you've missed it, Foreman had a couch delivered and the delivery people put a big hole in his wall. Yeah, which he then shamed them for to their face. Well. It is fixed, but someone back there was is this chiming in on the same topic? I believe so. My wife Ashley would like to comment on this. What? What happened? Yeah. I had nothing to do with the hole in the wall. That's no hole.

40:20 No. No. It's fixed, Daddy. It's fixed. He did fix it. Daddy. Fixed. Took a few months but it got done. Yes, you can't even. You can. Well, I won't say you can't tell there was ever a hole there. You can barely tell there was a hole there now. Well. That's good. Good. Yeah, so it's fixed. We have the couch. Did he fix a hole in the wall by himself? Could you? No, I don't think so. There's Jana. He can put a new battery in a car. Yeah. Good for you, David. Wow. You're doing it, I believe. I believe Jana had to do most of them. I.

41:01 Love YouTube? She did do. Most. I I lifted the battery. You lifted. Super heavy, right? This might be a weird one. My name is Tyler, but I'm just wondering how is there a vehicle out front with a radio station on it? Where did that come in? That's not a hard question to answer. I worked there. Norman is in the self promoting. And in the same conversation as, hey, I could take the car here and help promote the radio station to these 70 fine people who may live in the Woodstock or greater Woodstock surrounding area. And also, by the way, while I'm at it, I can use some of these microphones, these wires and this equipment and stuff. Are those equally necessary reasons? Shout out to Heart FM for inadvertently helping us do this.

41:53 Today, you know, Heart of M has been so great because it's so the opposite of other radio environments I've worked where it's very small, it's very independent. I am allowed to do whatever I want. There's really no one checking on whether it was good or bad, which might be a bad thing, but it's also gives me more reason and more opportunity to get more view on the air and talk to you about your stories and talking to people every day in Thorndale, Thamesford, Ingersoll, Embro, Tilsonburg, Woodstock. Saint Thomas. Well, doesn't come in so well in Saint Thomas, Thrath Roy.

42:34 And so it's been great and I, you know, I'm on two to seven weekdays on Heart FM one O 4.7 heartfm.ca. You can scream it. Yeah. And it's great. Can you edit that out by the way? Oh, are you taking over the editing now? Thank you, Dave. Hi Helga here, Foreman. Can you give us a big background on Scotty from out east? I just love him. Oh yeah, Scotty who? Hasn't sent. He hasn't sent anything in a while. Yeah, Scotty haven't. Heard right. Yeah, I think he did have some health concerns earlier this year and but, and I don't know what they are, but he was kind of bouncing back and on the mend. Scotty was turn it. He was day one when I went to Halifax and joined a show with Melody, who was just fantastic.

43:21 He called on the very first day and that show was really bad for a few months. It was. Because we didn't know we were perfect strangers and we'd only talked a couple times before we had met the week before. New shows are. New shows, new station, new city. And I didn't really know anything about the town or the province. So I, I did that learning curve as well. And he was right away someone who called much like Brian always would where you knew, oh, it's Brian from Saint Mary's. Oh, it's Scotty calling. I can sit back because he's guaranteed going to say something funny. And he's got, and he's originally from PEI, so he's got an even thicker accent than most of the locals.

44:04 And he's just so. And he would call every day, multiple times a day, always with a funny joke, a funny quip. And he's even call, he's called spontaneously on Heart FM too, which is amazing. And then to send us voice memos and come over here and listen to this. It's just great. And Lindsay, who had listened and sent me the Costco puzzle, she's similar to that too as well. So I'm just it's floored that people like the show out there that much and came to this show as well and and and bridged the gap in in both worlds. It means everything. I don't. I don't know why, but we can't do a show without. People calling in, people participating, people listening at all that. That really has made a lot of our shows in the past and now performance still, right.

44:52 Hi, I'm Brian from Saint Mary's. I am Brian, I don't know how many. People have been to Saint Mary's to the quarry, but a few years ago I invited the team to come up and help me open the quarry to the new Cliff dive and being the time of year with pool of water is quite cool. I told foreman that we would turn the heat up at the quarry, that the cement plant residual heat would warm up the quarry and you know, he believed that for quite a while. You believed that the quarry was. Heated. He was heating the court. Yes, from the cement plant. I believed it until I've arrived there. I don't know how you believed that It's like a natural resource.

45:38 Well, I don't know how it works. It's underground. Although Brian's description was quite like. Yes, he was very thorough and I took him out his word. Now I know never to do that. Don't believe anything he says. It's a quarry. That's right. Next to that, it's beside the cement plant that's. True that has. Nothing to do with it. I know that now. Not according to Brian back then, right? I'm still an honorary citizen of the town and I'm keeping that plaque so. Yes, I have one too. We are not going to let you forgot that. One Brian never has. So no, Dave, I need the bell back. Too. Oh, you can have a backup. I think we're done. Thank you.

46:26 Thank you everybody for coming. And I know it's maybe doesn't sound as as it usually does when you hear it all fully produced. And thank you so much to the Kinsmen for the wonderful breakfast. Oh my gosh. And offering us this venue. We never planned to do this, but Daryl over here offered, He said, well, hey, why don't you come out and and you're all a part of our 100th episode. Thank you very much. What a milestone. Daryl Dutch here. You're the the organizer of this. You're the you invited us here. It was all your idea. Why do you think it was worth it? Now, in hindsight.

47:06 Well, it was funny because really wondering. Why? Maybe tell us tomorrow. If it wasn't, it wasn't what you expected. Well, it was funny because I was out for a sharp walk. Or a fart walk. I mean, so, yeah, so. And I came up with this idea and I thought, well, you know, it was, I think it was episode 95, if I'm not mistaken, that I contact you and, you know, I, I send it through. It's just like, yeah, I'm not going to hear back from these guys. And next thing you know, Rachel's texting me and, or messaging me and says, hey, maybe we might be able to do this. And then, you know, a little bit of conversation with Foreman on Heart FM and sat there and said, you really got to talk Dave into this. And he goes, well, I don't know if Dave's going to want to do this.

47:51 I'm not supposed to tell him that. Oops. I don't spread. I don't spread that. Around anyway, anyway, all I can sit there and say I'm glad they're here. I, you know, I listened to them quite a bit. Hey guys, put it together for dude underwhelming demand. They did an amazing job. Make us all laugh. Have you one more question? Now that you've had to deal with us intimately in this behind the scenes manner, has it changed your opinion of us in any way? I don't think it could have got any worse than it did before. Hey, it's Scotty calling.

48:32 Scotty, he's got a rockin little buddy.
