0:00 There's a church band. Oh yeah, there's like 3. Yeah. Are you recording now? Oh, I sure AM. What does Jeremy play? Jeremy doesn't play any Oh. He's not in the band. No, he can't read music or anything. He can't read anything. Read Music. Oh, I see. You can't read anything. This is what everyone does on Thursdays at our church, forever and ever. Every the entire congregation is you must play an instrument. Unless you're Jeremy and can't read music. Not everybody plays, but most people learned. Yeah, Jeremy, the It's an audience of one because everyone else is in the band.

0:42 Yeah, who watches? This band. This is due to Underwhelming Demand, the podcast that wishes you a happy Saint Patrick's Day. Oh yes, that's right, Happy Saint Patrick's Day. How's she cutting? How's she cutting? Hopefully you'll be having some crake and you're not with a dry shite so have a few scoops. Don't be acting the maggot or you'll be scuttered and knackered to end in bits tomorrow. Couldn't have said it better myself. I could have done it with an Irish accent but I'm not that good at it. But I would also recommend staying away from wet. Shite.

1:24 No Dry. Shite. Just. In case you didn't know what I said, it's like, how's it going? Hopefully you're having some fun. You're not with a boring, no fun person. Rachel. Have a few drinks. Don't be acting like a fool or you'll be blind drunk and exhausted and in a bad way tomorrow anyway. In a bad way, OK. Happy Saint Patrick's Day, and this fine podcast is brought to you this time around by Home and Oat Couture. Oh, I said that. Yes, Oat Couture. I had to look it up because I was like, how do you say that? Home and Oat Couture. This is an event put on by our realtor friend Erica Vincent and another realtor or Aurora Desalle and Tiffany Irvine, who is a mortgage broker and it's coming up. Also coming up, Rachel is in A and who knew? What did you know?

2:15 I thought you guys did know that. She's in a band. I've. Been doing this my whole life but OK. OK, sure, Foreman wonders. If you've ever had to guide somebody through the grocery store, huh? Just my. Husband. Yeah, don't follow me. Yeah, but we'll begin with another episode of Is Dave the A Hole? Or in case you're OK with swearing his Dave's Addiction. Right. Well, it was both, kind of. Alternatively titled, the answer is always yes. Well, not always. Maybe it is. Yes. The answer is always yes.

2:56 Dave is that person. Yeah. OK, because can't wait. For. This while travelling, while driving over the last I would say 2 weeks. I think it's two weeks. This has happened to me now once while twice while I was driving and once while my wife was driving. So I'm wondering, is it us? Are we the ones we the? You're dragging her into this. Well, I'm just, I want to because it happened to her. Why? Is it that all of the is Dave the asshole bits are surrounding you being a driver? Well, because a lot of things happen when you drive and, and here's the thing, here's because I, I, it's sort of like the golden rule.

3:39 I I try to. Get out of my way. No, no, no, no. That's not true. That's not the golden rule for him. And I try to treat drivers the way I would like to be treated while I'm driving. So in other words, I don't want to. Yes, of course. Why? Why are you surprised by that? Because there's been times, a lot of times, where that is not how you're treating the other shoppers. Like when, What do I? How? How do I? Give them the finger. Yeah, that's because they didn't treat me well. OK, OK, so they did it first. How? Hard is that. Sure it was. And. Deserved they. Deserved. It fine. OK I don't give fingers out just randomly. Hello other driver. Fuck you, I don't do.

4:24 That that's not what I do like for instance, I was in the left hand lane, I was on Oxford Street. I'm moving along, I don't know, 65 K 65 between 65 and 70, not over 70 cuz I, I consider that speeding anyway, so I'm doing that. I'm traveling along and just as I'm just as I'm about to pass this car on my right and I'm just about to buy it, I notice their left hand turn signal came on And I thought I, I don't know what you're doing, 'cause I'm right, like I'm right here. I don't know what you're doing. They don't see you assume. That I don't know.

5:04 Not trust anybody. Well, I know, you know, like I'm already here. Like I really here. Well, I'm already here. You don't assume they see you. They don't. Yeah, you can see in their mirror because newer cars also warn you that there's somebody, a light goes on or whatever ever to warn you. And I could see that. They're just signal. I just sort of look and I go, well, I don't know where you're going because I'm right, like literally right here. And then within 2 seconds, the car veered to the point where I slammed on the brakes and I had to veer over to like, or they were going to hit me. And I was, I don't know a word for this, flabbergasted. I was like.

5:46 Stand. The hell. Yeah, what just happened? What was that? No, those weren't the words you yelled out loud at the moment. Well, no, probably not. Probably not. She was annoyed at me and I couldn't understand. I couldn't understand why. Like she just veered in front of me as if to say, hey, I need to get in and you're not letting me. In I lane now mine. Those people always just. Continue on driving and and and aren't inconvenienced. One bit yesterday I had this was another woman who cut me off and immediately put the signal on and went boom right in front of me and I. Slammed us a trend. Well, that's what I wanted. No, it's a trend. And then the other instance, my wife was driving the other street.

6:29 Yes, you were on Wonderland. Pro, it might be your fault. Wonderland Rd. And it's busy. There's quite a bit of traffic, and we're approaching. We're headed to Costco. That's where we're going. Yeah, lots of people are going there. It was AI think like a Sunday or a Saturday morning. That's what makes. Wonderland Rd. a parking lot. You're part of the. Problem exactly and the guy literally right beside us all of a sudden puts on his turn signal and just goes right in front of us and my wife slams on the brakes and hits the horn which I love her. Yes, hits the horn and she gave us the finger so that's why I'm wondering. Was.

7:10 He able. Is he driving a Mercedes? A Lexus ABMW. No, a Tesla. A big. Truck no, but you know what he was driving. That's right, 'cause I I thought you you D bagging your Rav 4. Rav 4. Rav. 40 get his life the worst. Vehicle in the world like Rav 4. Doors are OK, I got AI, got a Highlander. Rav 4 I should have known it was somebody in a. Rav straight out of Woodstock. Yeah, if you'd told me all of those instances separately on different days, I would have been like, no, it's not your fault.

7:51 But now that this has become a trend in your life. So it's my fault. I don't. I mean, there's got to be something in there that makes it your fault. Foreman. The way you're telling them these stories makes it seems like it's entirely not your fault, right? Right. But because there's so many like Rachel says, I feel like maybe your point of view isn't the point of view. Okay, all right, all right. So my point of view yesterday, there's a construction merge. Yeah. And the lane beside me had to merge into my lane, right. One woman is slightly ahead of me already. So I'm slowing down and hanging back to let her, you know, zip her in.

8:34 And everyone continues on and I'm hanging back. But then she's slowing down and going slow or slow. And now we're both going the same speed slow. God, she doesn't know how to zip her merge. Yeah, and the merge is still up ahead. There's still several car legs between her and the end of her lane. And so then I end up going past her and she's staring at me in the absolute pouring rain when the with the window open and a dart hanging out, of course looking at me like I'm the asshole. I'm thinking the thirst. I tried. I made so much bread. This is such an effort for me. I tried. Fuck, I tried, I tried. Yes, yes, I mean I, I guess. My when you're a driver, my everybody else is the asshole. Well, not yes, everybody.

9:18 Else it doesn't matter if. It's sometimes it is. True I. Know sometimes an asshole. I know that sometimes I make a mistake. What I my point here is, is this a new trend? That's why I'm wondering, is it my? Fault sounds like. Yeah, it seems like same old same old. We don't wait anymore like you don't I? I don't mind letting someone in in front of me as Foreman was just suggesting. There are instances where people need to get in and I don't mind if you give me a chance. So in these. Cases. They just go. Here's a bit of a different perspective. Because Jeremy will get mad that no one's letting him in. No one's letting him over, right?

9:59 And I'm like, put your signal on. Nobody knows you want to come over. Oh, he doesn't put it on. So then he's. Like, well, I'm just, you know, he wants to wait till there's a space and then put the signal on and move. Over, I don't. Want like just sit there with your signal on. Somebody will be like, oh, this person wants to come. Over sure. Yeah, and I and I get that. I. Get that? I think a lot of people do that. Well, they. And they're annoyed because you didn't let them in, but you didn't know that you they wanted to come in, right? Well, all three of them did signal, but they didn't give me much. They didn't even give me an opportunity to go. OK, I'll let you in. Right. I mean. In the first case, I was right literally right beside her when she decided she. Needed. She didn't see you.

10:39 She didn't look, but I didn't check her. But then why was she mad at me? Why did she veer? Into me because how dare you get she is just going on about her day. You get out of her way. Yeah, I'm because everyone who just decides to Willy nilly change lanes, there's never repercussions for them because everyone else has to slam on their brakes and move out of the way and they just keep going. I guess they. Just do, do, do, do, do keep going on. Nothing's wrong with them. They get to go where they want to go. Yeah, in a second we all get out of their way. They I feel like on top of the world, why would maybe we should all start driving like that, I think. It's that personal. I think everybody thinks they're the best. Guy personal. It's always that personal guy behind the wheel. Really really really glad I brought this up. This time around, this podcast is brought to you by Home Adult Couture.

11:43 Yes, this is an event happening on March 31st and it's free and you can go free for free put on by our friend Erica Vincent who's a Realtor with Rebel Realty and her colleague Aurora Desal of Rebel Realty and Tiffany Irvine of Real Mortgage Associations.

13:05 The real estate market really picks up right now and shop the muse because they'll be there too. This is a pop up shop that they're doing. It's happening at Lumen House. Yeah, March. 31st Where's Lumen House? On Richmond. St. Richmond. On Richmond St. downtown. Yeah. Lumen House on Richmond St., March 31st, 6:00 to 8:00 PM. They've got tickets.

Home. And oat couture. It's not oat like OAT just. It's haute. I had to look it up like home. And haute. Home and haute couture. March 31st.

14:03 This is due to underwhelming demand. It's a podcast, of course, with Dave, Rachel and Foreman. And it's the podcast that's perfect for Saint Patrick's Day because it goes great with a pint of Guinness. As a matter of fact, does it? It sounds better the more Guinness you drink and. Then if you listen to us on 2 1/2 two times speed. Yeah, sure, whatever. Also then it sounds like we're Irish. So Aaron Gobrah, Ireland forever. Now that you can buy Guinness in the grocery store. Yes you can. You can. You can you know where to buy it, but I don't know where to buy anything else in the grocery store. And no one should ever follow me around the store.

14:43 But my wife, Ashley, has found herself guiding others through groceries. What's? Being a grocery guide to. Complete strangers. I don't know what that means. You show up, say someone arrive is around the same time as you, you're both getting carts right. You maybe nod at each other. And then once you start, you go right to the produces right there at the start. And then they say, oh, you're getting that kind of apple. Why? Why are you choosing those apples? Well, because they we, I don't know, maybe they're crispier or maybe they're cheaper, or maybe these ones are the ones on sale this week. Oh, OK. So you put those apples in your cart and then you go down through the entire store and essentially follow your guide around and ask them questions about everything she's buying. You kidding you?

15:31 Buy the same thing. Are you telling me that somebody actually followed your wife around the grocery store? At No Frills last weekend. That's very I don't that. Never happened to me. That's. Highly unusual and really weird. I mean they weren't attached to each other, but it he really he clearly needed her advice on everything and she felt that he probably had a family. Like it wasn't a single guy, but he had no idea what he was doing. Then why was he there? I don't, but why wasn't we told to be there? I probably said go get groceries. Well, yeah, so he. Did, and he found another wife to tell him how. Well, I freely admit that I'm not lost in a grocery store. I know where everything is.

16:16 I always have at least one or two questions from the list that I've been given from my wife. Yes. So I just say to her, well, I'm planning to go at, you know, maybe 9:00 AM or whatever. So hopefully you're available 'cause you'll probably get two or three texts. Yeah, yeah, I don't really like a picture. Maybe. Yes, a picture. I send Jeremy I need to be readily by the phone just in case. Why is that? Why can't you figure it out on your own? Well, you're because you. Because if I figure it out on my own, 9 times out of 10 my figured out on my own comes home and it's the wrong thing. And I don't like that.

16:57 I don't like being I don't like being told I got the wrong thing. I don't like being told that this this isn't what I asked for. I don't like that. Even though we know it's probably fine, or it's close enough, or it's basically the same, we're not gonna think that. We're OK, we did. That's why we didn't bother asking. Yeah, OK. So we need to make sure you're not absolutely precise. You're not OK with it. And I will ask you, but I will not ask anyone. I'm not asking anyone else. I. Don't even talk to anybody at the. I don't talk to anybody at the grocery store either, other than like the people checking me out.

17:38 Yes, that's who I talked. To the only thing I've ever asked an employee is if I genuinely can't find an item, hey, where are the whatever? And then they just say, oh, aisle 9, OK, I'll find it. I'm not talking to anybody else. I mean, not that I wouldn't if I ran into somebody I know or whatever, sure. But I always feel like when when I go to the grocery store, I'm on a mission and I just want to complete my mission, you know, as you need a. Very specific list. That's right. Expediently as I can. I don't want to, you know, I don't want to be wasting my time in the grocery store, right? I want to get it. I want to do it right and I want to do it as quickly as I can. I've had a man ask me where things are like that's happened a couple times I think, and you didn't, you know why. You were not working there.

18:27 Yeah. Like I'm, I don't work here, but it's, I think it's over there and he's like, OK. That's interesting. Why? What if I'm looking? For something I am asking an employee. Yeah. Who are these men asking other customers? I don't know. Yeah. I would never do that. I mean I I would. Ask Men are there and their wives have said go shopping and they have a question and their wives aren't answering their phones so they have to find another wife at the store who can help them. I'm not finding another. No, thank you. I don't don't want another wife. No thanks. I'm good with what I and the other thing is I'm pretty sure that the other wives in the store are, you know, they don't know what my wife wants either.

19:09 No they don't. No SO. What's the point? But people, I posted this on the Country 104 Facebook page. Oh yeah. And a lot of people say, like Lori, Lori who listens to us, actually says, I've had lots of men ask for advice on certain products, never women. Advice on like which one should I get? Yeah, I guess, Ellen, who says absolutely. Happens all the time. I'm a cashier at No Frills. I do it all the time. Yeah, but you're the employee, so more people. Would ask you understand asking an employee but I don't understand. Just randomly the advice without. The West following a woman through the grocery store is weird.

19:51 Yeah, and creepy, weird, like when you said to me she was followed through the grocery store. I'm like, fuck yeah, that's terrible. And it's, you know, always a man following a woman. But then kept seeing the guy. But then he was like asking question. I'm like, OK, so he's not like stalking her. He's just. It is weird. But that is weird. And it's off putting. As a woman, trust, like if you're a man and you're thinking of doing that, don't please. That's off putting. Makes us feel unsafe. We don't want to be followed. I also heard from there's a Amber who I she goes to. I don't know what small stores are in Port Dover, she says. I, I feed a family of 6 on $160 a week and I'm at the same store every Friday in Port Dover and it's the same group of old ladies that are there that she has to guide, take around the store with her 'cause she's got all the sales mapped out. They don't, they're not, they're not downloading the flip app, right?

20:50 Basically waiting for her in the parking lot to bother even to go in. That's an organized group, right? So that's. You know that's the. Tour group. Now that's sort of. Different. That's sort of different yeah, that's different. What are the guys like golf with? Like he, he knows what's on sale and that's where he like he when he shops, that's how he shops. You go to one grocery store, then another grocery store. He's looking for the deals 'cause he knows what the deals are. So he's not asking you, buddy. Yes, of course. Maybe. People are asking him or no, they wouldn't know to ask him 'cause. No, they wouldn't. This is due to Wonderwall.

21:39 We start again. Too many guinnesses. Yeah, that's what it is. This is due to Underwhelming Demand, the podcast that may or may not be on March break. How could you tell anyway? You wouldn't. You wouldn't know. No, no. We're Dave, Rachel and Foreman. Hey, and thanks to Home and Oat Couture, we're sponsoring this fine podcast. Erica was showing me the website Shop the Muse that's going to be there last Thursday. I see her every Thursday and so there's lots of. Where do you see her? Where do you see her every Thursday? At church, we go to church, she goes to my church. On Thursdays. Yes, well, we have band practice on Thursdays, so everybody's there on.

22:19 Thursdays OK Band. Yes. Like that, you're in, you're in a. You're in a band, didn't you? Guys know that I was in a band. No. No. Like it's a brass band. What it is like a What is this? Like I've always been in since I was like a teen. So is this. Since high school. Oh, I was. I was in the high school band. I was talking. About a group Here you're we're talking about like a band band like band camp. Yes, I did go to band camp. Yeah, there's a difference between Rachel's in a band to Rachel's in band. In I'm in band, yeah, I'm not band. Yeah, well, I. Did in a band. I actually did go. To band camp. One time at band camp. Many times music, it is called music camp. But yeah, OK.

23:03 Sometimes I did vocal, sometimes I did band. Pick different. What do you play? I play the E flat horn which kind of looks like a mini tuba. We're going to put a whore in that big. Right. Yeah, You wouldn't. You wouldn't know what it is. How did you guys not know? I've known you guys for almost 20 years. So you see it like. I've known for 20 years. I seem to recall years ago in school. Is it like a baritone? Yeah, it's like a little baritone. Oh, smaller than a baritone? A bit smaller than a baritone, yeah, Is. It like a French horn. No no, looks like a baritone but it's like smaller. So when you play, are you doing? No, a baritone like a. Brass.

23:47 No, that's the two I know. Do you that? Play. I play like the harmonies, kind of. Well, give us how does it sound? Can you give us that? Don't like? Come on. Oh, so you're you're a little higher than you're like a trumpet? Yeah. And like, like under the, like right under the trumpet. So Julia plays trumpet, which is called. Oh, so the whole thing where? Are we in the? Band. Everybody's in the band. Yes, me and the kids. Me and the kids are in the band. Yeah, it's a family band. Oh, you looked it up in high school. I did play the French horn of. Course. Because that's like the equivalent, but we don't have French ones. So we go to the Salvation Army church and so there's bands. We have bands at our church that's. Just is everybody in the band?

24:31 Yeah, most people are in the band or they've learned. They've had to learn, OK. And rehearsals are on Thursdays and every. Well, no, you don't have to, but my kids have to. And. What is and? OK, so hang on. Sounds fun, yeah? Everybody's in the band. What does Jeremy play? He doesn't no, Jeremy doesn't read music or any like he can't do any of that. He doesn't read music. He can't. He didn't grow up in this. He just has to come. So him and some of the other dads that also don't play music like Erica's husband play like sit and play games like cards cards while we all have band practice. So they have to listen to your practice.

25:13 Well, they're in, they're downstairs in the like, there's a gym in our church. OK, Yeah. And they sit in the gym and play right cards and then we go upstairs and practice. Right in a different room. Yes, yeah, I hope so. When we're on, there's three different bands rehearsing and then the 4th band starts as we're finishing up, and then the fifth band is like they start it later. A battle. A battle of the bands. There's lots. Yeah. So we're in the beginner band and because my kids, you just started a couple years ago, you. Said you've been you. You've been doing you. You actually went to music camp, band camp. You were playing. You've been in a band, We've got a band. Trips we went to are.

25:55 You just in the beginner band? Well, then I stopped playing for about 15 years. So then I, I restarted when my kids were old enough to begin. And I was like, OK, I'll join. Like I knew they were going to fight it, but I'm like, you have to cut. Everybody has to do this. This is what we all do. Every Thursday we come here whether we like it or not. You learn music, you take these lessons, and that's too bad. So I thought I'll join the band, so I'll be in the band with them so that I'll give them more incentive to be there. And it does. So the kids. Play the three of. Us sit together. Your oldest daughter is playing a trumpet. Is she good at it? Yeah, she's pretty good. She's not bad like for her, but then actually she just switched to percussion foreman.

26:36 That's your thing. OK, so. What is she? She's very excited to play the drums and she's there's a triangle in one song that she has to play too. So I always wanted to be the triangle person. She's got a switch between the bass drum and the. Whenever you, whenever you go see like like if you go to Orchestra London or the orchestra's there and they have maybe vocalists or whatever, if you ever pay attention to the people, the percussionists, I like that. I enjoy, you know, they're the ones that all of a sudden they hit a symbol, you know, they'll boom, they'll hit the cymbals or yeah, I like and then. You. Got to move over here and play this thing and. Always enjoyed that. And follow all the music and count and yeah, so that's. One thing I know about, I took music in high school and one of the things that I knew I started, I began my musical endeavors in public school and I, I really wanted to play something like, but the, all the trumpets were gone.

27:29 Then I, I couldn't do the drums because somebody got that. So I ended up on clarinet. Really, I never wanted. Really to be a? Lot. Anyway, I learned to play the clarinet, which allowed me to move on to the saxophone and here's Here's what I why I. Want to just start on SAX? No, you should learn to play the clarinet first and then move the saxophone. They're they're similar, but they're different. Get a butcher one before you butcher the next. Yeah, then. I never played a Reed instrument so I have no idea. But I wanted to have a cool instrument, right? I wanted, you know, like if you play guitar, well, you know, like you, that was the thing. You wanted to be a musician because maybe, you know, maybe girls would like you 'cause you're a musician.

28:10 Or maybe you were in the band. Not that band, Rachel. Not the band you're. Talking about band. No, you want to be in a a band, not you want to. Be in a band, not A in a band playing the what are you playing? The B flat horn? That's not a sexy instrument, you know what I'm saying? No, that makes me think. Very pretty when you Christmas. Caroling. Well, yeah, yes, we do play quite a few Christmas carols. You're right, It is the Salvation Army. So we do that, yeah. Is your band, so you're in the junior band with all the kids? Beginner band, the beginner band. But then actually this year there was a few other little little littler kids that got old enough.

28:51 So they're they have like a four person like really beginner band. And then there's one above us that's like a junior band, and then there's like another band. Then there's two other bands and the senior band is like adults and they play every Sunday. Wow. There's like 30 of them probably. And then there's. A lot of bands here, yeah. Yeah, well, and a lot of people then become music teachers. So now we have a lot of music teachers who are now teaching the bands. We have legit, you know, people who do this for a living and who have gone to school for that kind of thing now teaching us how to do it right. And my kids. Wow. So, yeah, which? A lot of bands. Is there a dad band where there's like 3 drummers and six guys playing bass? No, Oh no.

29:37 Well, my my dad used to be in the senior band. OK, forever but for my SO. What do you teach him? You should, yes. And he, he led my bands quite often and a lot of bands when I was younger, OK. Yeah, in. Fact. He LED our one band and took us to England and the Netherlands when I was like 22 or something like. That you went on a band. Trip. Yes. Oh, we've gone to England. The Netherlands, we've gone to Bermuda. I went to you know what? I got to go play in the Rose Bowl parade in California on New Year's Day one year cuz. Was that the French? Horn. Or was that the B flat? That was the French. No, it was the B flat horn. Yeah, OK.

30:18 I guess they're easy to carry, you know when are. You playing the table. In a marching band, I always felt like that's. Yeah, that's hard. They give you straps for that. Get a harness for that thing. They give you a harness? Yeah. And now Rachel has another ceiling in her bedroom. OK, now we've got too far. OK. All right. This is a church band for. Me by the way, you've. Taken now that church. Band, Yeah. Yo but this is just so to make sure we all know and it's very clear being in band or a band in high school, either one because I was in all of them, doesn't do shit with girls. Well, so sometimes.

30:59 Sometimes. You. Sometimes you have to explore the source foreman. That. Was cool. It was, yeah. He's a drummer in all kinds of band. You really tried it every which way. Nothing worked for you. No ring goes a great drummer, but which one, you know? Come on, which one? Are you going to choose of all? Needles. 9 strikes and you're out. 10 strikes and you're out. 11 strikes. Anyway, there's a little new, something new that you've learned about me. Yes, OK, well, if I've. Always done music lessons OK?
