1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,040
Rachel says we're going to do
this and this, this is just like

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,360
going skiing or golfing or
whatever.

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,760
We don't do it.
Well, see, somebody was in my

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,080
neighborhood selling skis.
Youth skis.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,400
Did you buy some?
No.

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,760
She, well, I thought I might and
thought.

7
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,120
About it for a second.
Wow.

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,080
And now she couldn't even find
the post if she tried.

9
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,960
You guys don't think I'd do
anything.

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,960
I do things 'cause.
I do the last we did a bit where

11
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,560
you don't do anything.
If I do, I do.

12
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,200
I do things.
I golf.

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,800
I golf now.
I'm a golfer.

14
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,000
Golf.
How many times golf?

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,120
Like 5 or 6 times this year.
Did it was. 1/5 or.

16
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,440
Six.
That's true.

17
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,160
Maybe like did maybe one or two.
It was one.

18
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,960
No, it was more than one time
or. 6.

19
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,120
No, that's.
You only told us about 1:00 and

20
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,520
if it had been more you
definitely would have told us

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,640
about them.
So.

22
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,040
Way you go fire.
Me because he he.

23
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Did at the in front of an
audience.

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Every time if I go skiing, I'll
take a video, I'll show you.

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:17,880
You won't.
This is due to underwhelming due

26
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,160
to underwhelming demand, the
Cyber Tuesday of podcast Daily

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,640
dollar tour.
Is it?

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,480
Oh yeah, I guess.
Cyber Tuesday, a lot of thing.

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,800
No.
No, it's Giving Tuesday, right?

30
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:32,280
Is it?
Yes, we've started giving you

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,400
this one for free.
Here you go, you can have this

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,640
one.
You're welcome.

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,640
You can have it.
You should have started on a

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,560
more generous note.
I feel like it's giving Tuesday.

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,000
I didn't know that it was.
Here's your new episode.

36
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,800
Because the joke was Siren.
Never mind.

37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:47,960
I get it.
I get.

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,080
Never, never mind.
Can we?

39
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,760
Can we keep moving?
Yes.

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,160
Yes, we absolutely can, but not
to Swiss Chalet.

41
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,760
Oh boy.
You've been warned right off the

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,000
bat.
OK.

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,160
They are welcome to sponsor said
podcast and clear the air.

44
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,880
I feel like they won't after
this.

45
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,760
I feel like they won't.
They should.

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,360
They should be forced to.
They have a lot of explaining to

47
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,040
do.
If you look it up, I I feel like

48
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,560
if you looked it up, Swiss
chalet is in the same sort of

49
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,880
family group or whatever as the
keg.

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:30,560
Who owns the keg?
Swiss Chalet is far below the

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,840
keg.
Oh yeah, it's owned by Recipe

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,320
Unlimited Corporation that
operates several restaurant

53
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,040
chains such as Swiss Chalet,
Harvey's and The Keg.

54
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,160
There you go, Rach.
I hadn't.

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,040
I've never even heard of Recipe
Unlimited.

56
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Order chicken the next time
you're at the keg.

57
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,880
You can guess where they're
going to get it.

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,520
Well I OK I'm going to let
Foreman tell a story but I have

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,120
gotten sick from Swiss chalet 2
times.

60
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,120
All right, I've got to sit back
and not see anything for a while

61
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,120
because I can't afford to be
sued.

62
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,160
So go ahead guys.
Well, it's not just Swiss

63
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,040
Chalet, Harvey's and the Keg.
It's also Eastside, Mario's,

64
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,760
Kelsey's, Montana's, New York
Fries, Saint Hubert and the

65
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Pickle Barrel.
OK, there you go.

66
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,240
They.
Own them all.

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Should we really be naming them
all?

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,480
Maybe.
I feel like maybe we should be

69
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,400
anonymous with this.
We should just not.

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,320
I'm fine with many of those
other chains other than.

71
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Yeah, I've actually haven't had
any problems at the end.

72
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,760
And I'm generally fine with
Swiss Chalet.

73
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,840
In fact, I was excited to go, as
was the entire family, to go

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,400
finally get make our annual
pilgrimage, as every Canadian

75
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,560
must do, to go get a festive
special.

76
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Yes, of course.
Yeah, they.

77
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,600
They're back.
They are back, Yeah, they've

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,960
been back for a little while
because I had one too.

79
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,320
Well, and what a genius evening
to combine offers when you can

80
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,120
go on the kids, eat free
Wednesdays and get a festive

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,600
special.
Everybody wins.

82
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,720
Sure, yeah.
Yes, you would be wrong, David.

83
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,040
You would be wrong, Rachel.
Again, just stay out of this.

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,840
Beware because even outside of
Swiss Chalet, you may drive past

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,960
a Swiss chalet on a Wednesday
and find a wooden cartoon

86
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:20,000
chicken that simply says kids
eat free with zero fine print.

87
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:26,000
Right, this is not the problem.
There's no fine print on the

88
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,240
website.
There's no fine print on the

89
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,040
menu.
Oh, OK, so we've really looked

90
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,600
for some.
We have because at the end of

91
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,560
the foreman's meal in which
Ashley and I had festive

92
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,720
specials and the kids had, you
know, a bunch of shit.

93
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,000
Something from the kids menu.
Whatever, I don't care.

94
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,640
Probably chicken Nuggets and
fries.

95
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,920
Yeah, there's a drink, there's a
meal and there's dessert.

96
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,600
Have out.
There, Shirley Temple, yeah.

97
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,280
Right.
Ashley just wanted her lint

98
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:55,640
chocolates and we can get out of
there.

99
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,080
That's right, right.
So.

100
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,920
You get the festive special.
But on the bill, we were charged

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,320
for the kids meals.
Oh, I thought it was Kids eat

102
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,120
free Wednesday.
It sure was supposed to be what

103
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,920
happened.
And so yours truly said whoa,

104
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,880
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Kids eat Wednesdays.

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,960
The chicken told me so.
Right.

106
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,840
The chicken outside says it,
Yeah.

107
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,880
And she said, oh, but that's
only on regularly priced addled

108
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,480
entrees.
If you order regularly priced

109
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,040
addled entree then you get a
kids meal for free.

110
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,760
So because you had the festive
special, which matter?

111
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,280
Which I was keen to point out on
several occasions in this

112
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:42,120
interaction about how the
festive special costs more than

113
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,360
a regular meal.
Yes, it absolutely.

114
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,160
Yes it does.
And I know that because I had

115
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,520
one.
Yeah, it's a it's and we had two

116
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,240
several dollars more than the
regular quarter chicken meal.

117
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,560
Especially when you go with the
white meat festive special, they

118
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,080
cost a little.
More yes.

119
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,840
On top of the regular festive
special.

120
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:01,480
You're right, Yes, they charge
you for those lint chocolates.

121
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:08,120
Waitress, do you think?
I mean, do you think is it

122
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,520
really that special?
Well, it's a fun.

123
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,680
Fact.
It appears it's not very

124
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,000
festive.
No.

125
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,200
Well, it doesn't bring a lot of
good tidings, that's for sure.

126
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,120
No.
No.

127
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,520
Joy, their pocket.
No one.

128
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,040
Joy.
Yeah.

129
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,640
No one gets festive when their
pocket's being picked.

130
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,720
Right.
No one likes to be bamboozled,

131
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,400
OK, And here we are at we're
we're at a stalemate with our

132
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,040
waitress because she said no,
no, no, that's not the deal.

133
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,520
And I said no, no, no, that
actually is the deal.

134
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,120
And she had to go to the back
check with the manager.

135
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,080
She was gone for quite a long
time.

136
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,480
I know whether you talked to the
manager.

137
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
I didn't talk to the manager,
she didn't offer that option.

138
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,400
She had to go back twice to
another area to talk to them

139
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,720
herself.
My and the manager didn't want

140
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,600
to come out the second time.
Right.

141
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:59,760
They did not want to come out.
And then in the end, she did

142
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,920
remove the cost of the
children's meals, but I believe

143
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,680
it probably came at her expense.
Really.

144
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,480
You think so?
So she had to.

145
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,800
Again, once again turning not
This is not a very festive

146
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,080
special.
It's not festive for her either.

147
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,080
No.
Did you take special or?

148
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,360
Festive about this.
Yes, we gave.

149
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,720
Her a tip OK, good.
All right.

150
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,080
What I mean because she did do
that then did.

151
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,000
You give her a tip that that
covered that covered both of

152
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,280
those meals.
No.

153
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,440
And you didn't give her a good.
Tip.

154
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,280
Any adult meal.
Here's your fault.

155
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,440
You have to faint her, you said.
Those are supposed to be the

156
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,560
minute.
I said, well, the only reason

157
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,840
we're here.
Is.

158
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,040
So these two don't have to pay
for anything.

159
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,080
If he had ordered a regular
meal, which is cheaper, yes,

160
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,520
then she would have gotten a
smaller tip anyway because they

161
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,400
would have only paid for those
two meals, correct?

162
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,080
What kind of logic?
Is she got a bigger tip because

163
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,560
it was based on the increased
price of the festive special?

164
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Right.
Yeah, I agree.

165
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,200
I think it should be free and
like the festive special any any

166
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,160
adult meal should give you a
free kids meal if that's the day

167
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,160
they.
All do.

168
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,480
Well, yeah, except for the
festive special.

169
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,200
Like that's the only thing not
included.

170
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,840
Right.
Or any other temporary offer I

171
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,640
suppose.
That's dumb like that.

172
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,680
Can't be.
Ridiculous.

173
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,600
Yeah.
Why?

174
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,000
So we went to Swiss Chalet and
it again had the chicken outside

175
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,240
saying you.
Kids eat free.

176
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,040
We'll hold on.
Stop.

177
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,640
What are you?
Doing at Swiss Chalet, did you

178
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,200
not just say at the beginning,
at the start of this whole?

179
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000
Thing.
Yeah, one time I got sick of

180
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,960
swish.
Yeah.

181
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,080
Why are you back?
I believe wasn't it two times

182
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,240
that you've gotten?
Severe food poisoning.

183
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,120
Severe at there was two
different locations and I won't

184
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,240
go to those ones.
OK, but did you?

185
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,280
I have grown up going to Swiss
Chalet almost.

186
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,480
Diagnosed food poisoning or is
this Rachel going?

187
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,320
I don't feel well so I was
poisoned by the food.

188
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,640
Oh no, me, Jeremy and Julia.
Actually, Kendall was a baby at

189
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,560
the time.
So this was seven years ago. 7

190
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:12,080
1/2 And so Kendall was a baby.
So the three of us got food

191
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,800
poisoning really badly and it
like couldn't function.

192
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,440
I had to call my mom and be
like, you need to come and take

193
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,480
this baby because no one can
care for it today.

194
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,560
Like no one can care for this
baby if and Kendall wasn't

195
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,440
heating yet because I'm.
Not accusing any any restaurant

196
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,240
of food poison, you know,
because that's a.

197
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,600
Serious.
That's a serious charge.

198
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,360
It was.
It was absolutely because the

199
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,920
chicken was raw.
Put.

200
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,480
Money in the middle?
I'm suggesting my mom would

201
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,120
serve me completely raw chicken.
If you got food poisoning at a

202
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,240
restaurant and you know what
restaurant it was like, it's not

203
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,040
like you.
Did I can't say that I can't

204
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,040
say.
If if you in fact believe that a

205
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,160
restaurant gave you food
poisoning, why, why, why, why

206
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,440
and why 30 times more would you
ever set foot back and said

207
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,120
restaurant?
OK, so here.

208
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,600
Here's my lifelong attachment to
Swiss Chalet.

209
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,240
Was it one of the locations that
I probably went to by the way?

210
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,080
It might have been.
Yeah, I think that narrowed the

211
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,880
25% closer.
Right.

212
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,080
Just, I don't know.
Anyway, so I grew up going to

213
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,240
Swiss LA almost every single
Sunday for lunch after church.

214
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,360
Every.
Sunday, almost every week, yeah.

215
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,880
My whole family, we would go at,
I would say at minimum once a

216
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,400
month.
Never, Never once did I get

217
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,200
never once did any of us get
sick And then and so, so I've

218
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,000
always loved Swiss Chalet I, I
got.

219
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,720
Your love of the keg.
We didn't.

220
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,560
That's not where we went.
We went to Swiss Chalet.

221
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:51,400
But I do love the keg too.
And the mini brands of recipes

222
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,160
Unlimited, right?
I, I have no, there's no so I

223
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,600
then I then after I got sick 2
times, like the first time, I

224
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,240
thought, of course it's just a
fluke.

225
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:04,280
So we tried a second, second
restaurant a while after a

226
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,600
second location and and got sick
from that one too.

227
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,520
And so then after that we swore
off Swiss Chalet.

228
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,560
We are not.
So we have not had Swiss Chalet

229
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:16,960
for probably 8 years, seven,
well since that time, seven

230
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,280
years.
But the lure of the festive.

231
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,720
Special, special, yeah, yes.
So here's what happened.

232
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,640
We decide we we've gone back to
Swiss Chalet maybe two or three

233
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,600
times this year with our
friends.

234
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,440
So the allure of the chicken out
front that says kids eat free

235
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,200
because that's that's great.
But our chicken did not say

236
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,800
Wednesday days only.
So here we go into Swiss Chalet

237
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,120
on a weekend, thinking I'm going
to get my festive.

238
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,880
I'm going to get a.
Free on a weekend.

239
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,720
Well, the chicken was out there.
It does the.

240
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,760
Chicken says for kids eat from.
We're like, oh, kids eat free.

241
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Look at that.
Great.

242
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,760
We go in.
Oh no, it's only on Wednesdays.

243
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,960
Like what?
OK, fine.

244
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,960
Like we just kind of take
whatever.

245
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,200
It's only Wednesdays.
We're like, all right, fine,

246
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,240
whatever.
And then we did get the festive

247
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,120
special.
But the festive special, the

248
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,880
food was OK.
The service was terrible, very

249
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,760
bad, which is another thing.
And it was just very busy.

250
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,800
And then we had to pay for
every, everybody's meal.

251
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,600
So we weren't, we weren't
thrilled.

252
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,320
We weren't thrilled.
Well, they're telling everyone

253
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,840
to come in with the free, free
kids and then that's.

254
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,000
How you're getting us all in
there, all of us, parents,

255
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,120
you've you've tricked us now.
You.

256
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,920
We you've.
Tricked us to come in and pay

257
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,240
for more expensive meals, and
then you're not giving us the

258
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,760
deal that you've promised.
You're not holding up your end

259
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,760
of the bargain.
Or the food poisoning you're

260
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,360
used to.
Yeah.

261
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,800
Exactly so.
Now, damn it.

262
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,760
The last experience I had was
not not great.

263
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,360
So now I'm like, you know what,
Swish LA, I gave you a chance.

264
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,280
I came back.
Eight or eight or nine times.

265
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,720
Fool me.
Once fool me.

266
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,280
Once. 9 times.
Not no.

267
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,840
I'm gonna go somewhere else,
right?

268
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:06,840
I loved you for so long.
And then you then you really

269
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,800
screwed me.
And then I gave you a chance

270
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,480
again.
And now I'm not.

271
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,280
Not for it.
Not here for it.

272
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,440
That's right.
So I'm.

273
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,080
I'm with you Forman.
And This is why it sucks to be

274
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,480
in the service industry.
You too.

275
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,520
Well, tell your boss to take the
chicken down.

276
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,160
This is due to underwhelming
demand.

277
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,600
It's a podcast.
The podcast that would make for

278
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,680
a pretty lousy Secret Santa
gift.

279
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:57,160
Just just saying.
Unless you maybe have a friend

280
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,920
with a business and they would
like a sponsorship.

281
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,400
OK, sure.
So here's a gift.

282
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,760
That'll cost you money.
Well, yeah, you have to buy it

283
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,640
for them.
Oh, that OK, Yeah, that makes

284
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,280
sense.
We could whip up a gift card,

285
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,440
sure.
Well, we are sponsorless, so

286
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,800
that would be great if you, you
know, if, if, if what you want

287
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,440
for Christmas is to sponsor this
podcast, you're in luck.

288
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,080
Here's here's your.
And really, who's not thinking

289
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,600
of that?
That's right, here's your

290
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,000
opportunity.

00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,640
All right, It's the holiday

Dickory dot so so.
Don't.

301
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,960
It's time to do your Christmas
shopping.

302
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,480
Are you done, Rachel?
No, I've barely started.

303
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,080
Oh, I've barely.
Started.

304
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,240
I know, I know.
It's this is the time though

305
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,200
when I start like Black Fridays.
I usually try and have a list by

306
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,920
then so that I know what
everybody wants and I can kind

307
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,760
of go through it.
But my kids are so Foreman.

308
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,720
Do you find this now?
Like the kids don't really play

309
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,520
with toys anymore.
They're of the age where like, I

310
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,000
don't really know what to get
them now.

311
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,600
They don't play with me.
And you can't buy.

312
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,960
You can't buy hardly any
clothing of any kind.

313
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,120
Oh, oh, God, she's 11.
Oh, yeah.

314
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,000
And no, like, she doesn't pick
it out.

315
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,800
Then she's not wearing.
It, yes, yeah, that's the same

316
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,400
with.
Us and herein lies the problem

317
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,200
so.
You're in.

You're dealing, Rob.
You're you're dealing with

319
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,040
children and I'm not really
dealing with I have a child and

320
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,800

So because, you know, don't.

322
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,440
Know what to get you?
We, we don't know.

323
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,840
We could, you know, try to
guess, but that doesn't go well.

324
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,600
Trust.
That's not a fun Christmas.

325
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,320
You know, mom and dad guess and
and they get the wrong thing.

326
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,360
So, you know, could you please
tell us?

327
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,640
So we have a kind of a rule
around here that, and that is I

328
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,520
always, as you know, Rachel, I
do do quite a bit of shopping,

329
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,480
mostly for my wife, but for
other, you know, now I, I kind

330
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,120
of try to look after both the
girls in my family and, you

331
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,720
know, I have other kids and
stuff that I have to look after.

332
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:36,000
But I, I come up with ideas on
my own that I, you know.

333
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,560
Yes, I have to give Dave credit
because he's quite a thoughtful

334
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,520
gift giver and I think he comes
up with great ideas.

335
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,040
Actually, but I we use.
And here, by the way, I hear

336
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640
that we are nearly complete our
shopping, I've been told.

337
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,120
Oh, good.
Good for you.

338
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,440
OK.
For you're not doing very good.

339
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,400
I've I've heard.
For that I've heard.

340
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,080
That our shopping is almost
complete.

341
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,400
So you're going to go out for
your wife on Christmas Eve and

342
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,400
find something at Shoppers Drug
Mart, right?

343
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,720
No, I already bought her
something Winter.

344
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,839
Tires, winter tires.
We did discuss that.

345
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:06,359
Oh, I see.
Right.

346
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,520
OK.
Well, we're not doing that.

347
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,240
We we tend to now what we'll do.
Is.

348
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,520
You know, we generally will go
well, what do you want for

349
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,520
Christmas?
Because I would like to get her

350
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,240
things that she needs, sure
needs.

351
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:27,440
And if I can provide a couple of
things above and beyond that,

352
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,480
that's great.
So as you know, a number of

353
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,280
years ago, I think my wife asked
for a a vacuum.

354
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,960
And that was like a quite the
dilemma because you know, you

355
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,120
don't want to give your wife a
vacuum, do you?

356
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,680
Yes.
And we worked that one out and

357
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,240
it worked out fine.
But this year I got a list.

358
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,440
OK.
From her, from your wife, OK.

359
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,400
So a couple of things I've
already looked after.

360
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,000
She wanted some running shoes.
She needed a new case for her

361
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,320
phone.
She's not going to hear this

362
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,320
right.
She doesn't listen to.

363
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,120
Me maybe she doesn't doesn't.
Tell her not to listen till

364
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:59,400
after Christmas.
Anyway, so here's the other

365
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,280
things on her, things that she's
given me that she wants me to

366
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,720
get for her.
A bra and a sports bra.

367
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,640
OK, good luck.
Those are two different things,

368
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,160
are there?
Yeah.

369
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,120
Yeah.
Regular and that.

370
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:21,360
Much I knew and when she asked
for I believe it was the sports

371
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:26,640
bra, she said you better do some
research and I thought.

372
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,760
Does she have a particular brand
that she liked?

373
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,800
No, I have no idea.
OK, I.

374
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,160
Didn't have bras are tricky
because you have to try them on

375
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,480
typically or if you know what
you wear then you can just buy

376
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,640
that.
There's any number.

377
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,880
So you might need to go through
some drawers at home.

378
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,800
I have.
Bad idea, yeah.

379
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,600
Bad idea.
Yeah.

380
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:47,640
Get Charlotte to help you with
that.

381
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,160
Charlotte did help me with that.
Right, so women have to wear

382
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,000
different bras when they're
working out.

383
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,200
Yeah, you want something
because.

384
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,240
They're more supportive.
Yeah, for want of a better word,

385
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,440
doesn't jiggle as much.
Right.

386
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:00,880
Correct.
Yeah, right.

387
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,040
OK, so I.
Won't hang low or wobble to and

388
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,840
fro.
Right.

389
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,320
You can't tie them in a knot
when they're.

390
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,080
Stopped in there, OK.
So.

391
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,600
I have, I've had literally no
experience in buying a bra

392
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,680
before, although I really like
to use the term brassiere 'cause

393
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,440
I think it's funny.
I'm here for a brassiere in some

394
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,440
underpants, yes.
Oh.

395
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,320
My.
God.

396
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:28,000
Steer me in the direction of the
Brazil panties because I

397
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:30,560
freaking hate that.
I think it sounds so gross.

398
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,520
Can't see.
The Lion can you?

399
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,160
No.
My.

400
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,360
Can't see it at all, Dad.
All right.

401
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,640
So the last time I decided to
provide because I knew that it

402
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,720
was required, it was very close
to her birthday and Mother's

403
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,240
Day, which always happened at
the same time.

404
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,000
So I bought a gift certificate.
I spent a lot of money for a

405
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,480
gift certificate and then
everything closed down because

406
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,600
it was COVID.
Oh yes.

407
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,760
And then there was a rumor that
the gift certificate to the

408
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,840
particular place that I bought,
there was a rumor going around

409
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,880
that because of COVID and
because they've been closed for

410
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,000
a couple of months, they were
never going to reopen, right?

411
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,120
Oh boy, did I get in trouble for
that.

412
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,880
Oh my.
Don't give me a gift card for a

413
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,560
store that doesn't exist.
Right.

414
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,760
Yeah.
Generally a good yes.

415
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,640
Sure.
Well, you didn't know that at

416
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,520
the time.
No, but that's still we.

417
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,040
Didn't think we were going to be
shut down for as long as we

418
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,760
were.
Excuse it doesn't work.

419
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,480
I tried that.
How was I to know?

420
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,880
Yeah, well, true.
Truly, none of us knew.

421
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,920
We all thought we'd be home for
two weeks and that was.

422
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,320
It so wish me luck Foreman, have
you ever had to do?

423
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,840
Where are you going to go?
What's your plan?

424
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,960
I don't know do.
You have a plan, yet you don't

425
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,520
have AI have.
I have a size, that's about all.

426
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,200
OK.
Well, that's good.

427
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:02,000
That's a good start.
Yes, some bras bra brands fit

428
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:03,800
differently.
Yeah.

429
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,440
So it really is something that.
You need to go any further,

430
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,000
Rachel.
This is my problem.

431
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,960
I'm stuck with it.
I'll live with it.

432
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,120
OK.
Do you have like have you gone

433
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,800
through some drawers and you
might know like what kind of

434
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,880
what brands she prefers?
You bring some examples with you

435
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,000
to the store.
No, just at least you know where

436
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,880
to go to find them.
Yeah, the store that all that

437
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,400
didn't close during COVID, I can
go back there.

438
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,200
Yeah, they're still open, so.
OK, Well then that's.

439
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:30,920
Good.
Yeah, good.

440
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,120
Wish me luck.
Maybe the customer service

441
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:35,240
representative could have try
some on for you.

442
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,600
OK, I know.
I'm sure they love it when men

443
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,160
come in and they're like.
I don't think.

444
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,760
I I need to buy a sports bra for
my wife.

445
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,120
Like it's not lingerie, it's not
like night.

446
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:51,040
It's like I.
Need her size?

447
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,040
I'm not doing that.
No, thank you.

448
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,400
No.
That's a big ask.

449
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,280
I think of your wife.
That's a big ask.

450
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,280
But if anyone's up for the job,
I think it's you.

451
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,040
I'll.
Let you know.

452
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,240
Yeah, report back.
I'm very intrigued to hear what

453
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:23,840
happens.
This is due to underwhelming

454
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,600
what?
Who's talking?

455
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,800
I but I was leaving.
I dropped my phone on the floor

456
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,480
and I didn't.
We start again.

457
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,640
I'll just keep going, I don't
care.

458
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,000
Nobody sponsors this fine thing
anyway.

459
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,880
This may be why no one sponsors.
Maybe because we shit on

460
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,680
everybody and we don't take it
seriously.

461
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,520
If you want to sponsor us, check
out underwhelming.ca, OK?

462
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,280
This this is due to
underwhelming demand the podcast

463
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,080
and if podcasts were Christmas
decorations, we would be tinsel.

464
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,840
Nobody uses us anymore.
I knew that was coming.

465
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,720
You did.
I like that you knew that that

466
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,160
was.
Coming.

467
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,920
I knew it was gonna be tinsel.
Yeah, really OK of.

468
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,880
Course, we're tinsel.
Because nobody uses it.

469
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,840
Yeah, because it's completely
irrelevant and doesn't exist

470
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,360
anymore.
Unnecessary and.

471
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:15,160
Useless really when you get
right down.

472
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,120
No one wants.
Useless.

473
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Nobody wants it.
That's it.

474
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,520
That's.
At least we're we're glitter

475
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,480
and.
When you do use it, you have a

476
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,880
high, much higher risk of
burning down your house.

477
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,440
Well, that was fun.
All right.

478
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,000
We are Dave, Rachel and Foreman.
Yes, you know, it was also super

479
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,320
fun this past week.
It's.

480
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,840
Sad Rachel, my family and I went
and saw Wicked the movie.

481
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,560
That sounds like fun.
Yeah, we went and saw it the day

482
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,400
it came out on the Friday.
I think we saw it on the

483
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,120
Saturday, so my girls were super
excited.

484
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:55,640
As you know, maybe you don't
know, I am a big musical theater

485
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,800
nerd.
And now my children are as well.

486
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Much to Jeremy's dismay, who has
learned all about musicals in

487
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,960
the last 11 years or more, or a
little bit more because a.

488
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,240
Good I like a good show tune I
mean I.

489
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,920
Sure.
We used to, we used to.

490
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,680
We used to love to sing show
tunes.

491
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,880
When we were doing the radio
show, we were doing that.

492
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:19,400
You are 16 going on, you know
'cause we sang that one with

493
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,600
the.
I'm going to see that.

494
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,680
Actually, this isn't.
That's the Sound of Music, Yeah.

495
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,000
Yes, yeah, at the Grand Theatre.
Anyway, so we went to go see

496
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,400
Wicked 'cause it's a much
anticipated, huge movie.

497
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,840
Everyone's so excited to see it.
And so I got tickets.

498
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,200
I bought tickets like a week and
a half early to make sure that

499
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,800
we could get in and get a this.
Is like Star Wars for you,

500
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,400
isn't?
It yes ohh yeah, this was I was

501
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,120
super.
Nearly as probably as much fun.

502
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,400
Well, I think it's way more fun.
OK, I've literally never seen

503
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,400
Star Wars.
I know, and this may shock you,

504
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,200
but I had never seen Wicked.
Well, I didn't even know it.

505
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,720
I know a musical.
I've been in musicals.

506
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,920
I've been in The Sound of Music
and others.

507
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,680
I didn't even know Wicked was a
musical.

508
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,840
No idea.
Wicked was a book, wasn't it?

509
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,920
A book 1st and then.
There isn't a novel and maybe,

510
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,840
maybe, I guess it's probably
based on the novel.

511
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,840
Fun fact, the novel is not for
children.

512
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,280
I looked at this book at Costco
and I thought Julia really loved

513
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,400
loved the play and I thought I
should get her this book.

514
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,280
It is not for.
No, they tell you, don't let

515
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,240
your kids.
Read do not let your kids read

516
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,720
this book.
It is nothing like the musical.

517
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,560
It has a lot of adult themes and
any every like, bad, like it's

518
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,920
not good, not good.
And I didn't know that.

519
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,840
And before I kind of looked at
it, it's not a children's book

520
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,040
at all.
But the movie is.

521
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,600
But the movie is, yeah, the the
movie is the musical.

522
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,640
The Musical.
Came out like 20 years ago on

523
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,560
Broadway and, and so.
They tamed it.

524
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,720
They, they, they well.
Guessed it, they take it from

525
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,520
the book.
Yeah, I haven't read the book,

526
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,000
but I've I've heard that the
book is absolutely not for

527
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,280
children.
Not just that it's, I don't know

528
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,280
if it's scary, but it's like
very inappropriate.

529
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,800
Oh well, I want to read that
more than I've ever wanted to

530
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,400
read.
Intrigued in reading the book

531
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,920
that I haven't seen.
Well, I haven't read.

532
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,160
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know if you've

533
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,960
read the book, you let us know
what you think of it, OK.

534
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,000
And if you've seen Wicked, let
me know because I know a lot of

535
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,720
people went this weekend.
I bought tickets.

536
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,120
Our theater was completely sold
out, so I'm glad that we got

537
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:26,520
tickets for when we did.
I didn't realize it was so long.

538
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,680
It was 2 hours and 40 minutes.
And so I bought the six 6:30 PM

539
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,400
show.
So Jeremy's like, oh, the kids

540
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,280
are going to be up really late.
I'm like. 1:00 PM, please.

541
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,320
Yeah, I know.
We didn't.

542
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:39,920
I didn't know that.
Anyway, so we loved it.

543
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,200
It was so great.
Ariana Grande, Cynthia Areevo.

544
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,640
And they sing live the whole
time.

545
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,720
They are not recorded and lip
synching.

546
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,120
They're singing live the whole
time, which is like, amazing.

547
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:52,920
Impressive when?
You think of it, it's like,

548
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,960
well, yeah, they do that on
Broadway all the time.

549
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,400
Like these people are these
people sing live 8 * a week.

550
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,240
So that's it makes sense that
they would do that.

551
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,600
But after that, like accurate
sound on a movie set, no.

552
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,040
Well.
Yeah, on a movie, you need it to

553
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,680
be absolutely perfect because it
plays that way forever.

554
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,640
Right A.
Broadway show you could You can

555
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,720
do it again tomorrow night.
Yeah, that's true.

556
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,520
That's true.
Anyway, so my whole Instagram

557
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,800
feed is now and TikTok
completely just musical theatre

558
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,000
stuff and all about Wicked and
all the interview clips and all

559
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,960
the actors that were in it.
And you know who's in it that

560
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,280
you would be interested to know?
Bowen Yang from SNL.

561
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,200
OK, because I know you love SNL.
Did you as I do out of curiosity

562
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,480
and I know the answer to this.
Because is it the iceberg that

563
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,920
sank the Titanic?
Yeah, I saw your Instagram post

564
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,520
or whatever.
Yeah, you didn't drag Jeremy to

565
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,800
this, did you?
Yes, yeah, we did.

566
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:47,280
I think he liked it.
He didn't say much.

567
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,960
Saturday or a Sunday?
It was a Saturday night.

568
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,280
Saturday night.
Hockey night, you know?

569
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,000
So the Leafs were probably.
They probably lost.

570
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,280
I don't, I don't know they were
playing or not, Yeah.

571
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,400
That's really.
Were they playing last Saturday?

572
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,520
Oh sure, Yeah, they do.
Every Saturday.

573
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,080
Yeah, we were at.
Generally.

574
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,840
Generally, You know what else I
made him turn off sports for

575
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:15,200
last night is I finally watched
Hot Frosty on.

576
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,320
Netflix, you're just you're,
you're so.

577
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,560
I'm a glutton for punishment.
I'm not, but I wanted to see it.

578
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Everybody was like, it's so bad,
but you can't turn it off.

579
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:30,680
And so I was like, OK tonight,
Jeremy, we're not watching

580
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,560
sports.
We're watching Hot Frosty.

581
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,080
It was bad.
You didn't like hot frosty?

582
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,240
No, it was OK.
It was.

583
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,720
It's very bad.
It's a bad movie.

584
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,960
There's some laughs in there
like it's OK, but it's not like

585
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,400
it's it's good because it's bad,
you know what I mean?

586
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:48,920
It's not.
Right.

587
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,120
It was amazing.
Good because it's bad.

588
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,640
No, Wicked is good because it's
good.

589
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,120
No, isn't it about it's you're
fucking bad now you're

590
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:57,800
confusing.
Me.

591
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,000
Well, wicked.
Why is it called?

592
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,960
Yes, sure, so Wicked and I know
that you loved the Wizard of Oz

593
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,120
Wicked is about how the Wicked
Witch becomes the Wicked witch,

594
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,360
right?
Yes, And the and the Witch of

595
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,120
the North.
Glinda is the the good witch,

596
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,760
right?
My fan theory is Glinda is

597
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,160
actually not very nice.
And if you watch the movie,

598
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,520
you'll be like, Oh yeah, like
she's kind of mean.

599
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,360
She's a bully.
I said it come at me.

600
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,120
I the.
Wicked, the wicked.

601
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,760
Witch I feel it makes you feel.
Bad for her, for goodness sake.

602
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,840
The Wicked Witch.
Stole photo.

603
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,520
In the Wizard of Oz, so
eventually she becomes, so

604
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,120
anyways, the the wicked that
came out was Part 1.

605
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,120
There's going to be a Part 2
great.

606
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:48,120
Which then ties in who becomes
like the Tin Man and the

607
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,440
Scarecrow and the Lion, right?
And it ties all that.

608
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,360
Together.
We already know that, yeah.

609
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,520
But yeah, I think we already
know that.

610
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,440
We're would become Are they the?
Farmhands from Dorothy's.

611
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:03,520
Well, in her dream they are.
Yeah, but I don't know they're

612
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,240
gonna tell I.
Like I know from 80 years ago.

613
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,960
What are you talking about?
In Wicked, in the that some of

614
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,920
those characters become these
characters.

615
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,240
OK, Like that's part of the
story.

616
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,240
I feel like we should have left
that, you know, you know, this

617
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,280
was a book that.
Was it that was cool and badass?

618
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,080
Why didn't HBO make the movie?
Why didn't HBO?

619
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,000
I don't know, maybe they will,
but I haven't read the book.

620
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,320
And don't buy it for your
children for Christmas are.

621
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,800
There any flying monkeys in
this?

622
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,760
Movie.
Yes, there is.

623
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,600
Yeah.
Oh, did everyone in the theater

624
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:36,560
sing?
No.

625
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,200
The Rock said you could.
He did.

626
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:40,840
Yeah.
He says go ahead and sing.

627
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,440
Yeah, and Moana.
Yeah.

628
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,520
Sing, sing, sing.
Moana's next.

629
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,800
Next weekend, yeah.
Are you poor Jeremy?

630
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,840
Wow.
Merry Christmas to Jeremy.

631
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,800
This is due to underwhelming
demand.

632
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,440
It's a podcast.
It's a podcast that doesn't have

00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,840
Why I'm?
Why I?

643
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,480
Why am I the one reading this?
OK.

644
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,360
Send Foreman out with Aaron, you
know from ENP Equine.

645
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:52,640
Right.
Yeah.

646
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,640
For a day in the life type
piece, let hilarity ensue.

647
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,320
Yeah, that would be actually
with her.

648
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,440
To do the equine massage and
nerve release.

649
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,400
Yeah, that would be fun.
Me massaging a horse, that's

650
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,880
what.
We all want to go out and make

651
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,240
the horses feel better, take
care of them.

652
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,760
You'd get all squeaky and that's
a great idea.

653
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,440
Thank you for that last long.
We will investigate that.

654
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,400
Yes, right.
Yeah.

655
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,840
OK, well, Katie says I'm a Mount
Elginite here.

656
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,600
Mount Elgin?
Are you just listening to the

657
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,520
podcast today?
Just reading this one.

658
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,400
OK, go ahead.
Yeah.

659
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,520
Yes, they're the ones that their
town challenge is for everyone

660
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,680
to have a giant inflatable
gingerbread man.

661
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,160
And so she says 84% of the
people voted on our Facebook

662
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,760
poll for gingerbread men.
Only 4% wanted snowmen and one

663
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,520
of those 4% called in it was
Anita.

664
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,560
Anita did speak up and admit to
being the one who called in when

665
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,720
it was questioned in our
neighborhood Facebook group.

666
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,520
The pressure is on for her to
participate because she was the

667
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,720
one that called and that's why
we talked about it and said that

668
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,440
my town's doing this, but I
don't want to participate.

669
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,240
But I don't want to.
You know what?

670
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,680
I commend Anita for not posting
anonymously.

671
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,400
Good for you.
Fair.

672
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,280
Yeah, You owned that.
You stepped up, and I think

673
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,640
that's very brave of you.
Good for you, Anita.

674
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,240
Yes, over and all your.
Neighbors love you, Anita.

675
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,600
They just.
Well, she's the one being peer

676
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,120
pressured into buying one of
these things.

677
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,080
Sure.
Yeah, that's right.

678
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,920
You should.
If somebody doesn't want to buy

679
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,320
it, I mean, whatever.
Right.

680
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,520
Yeah, over an embro they're
doing the the giant 12 foot tall

681
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,120
inflatable Santas.
Right.

682
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:37,840
Yeah.
Yeah.

683
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,720
And so Donna says, yes,
Ambronians, next year we will

684
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,600
have to make kilts for them.
Maybe we could put them up for

685
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,560
July 1st?
That's funny.

686
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,040
For the Highland game, they do.
The Highland games to them bro

687
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,880
That's true.
I actually, I approve of that.

688
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,200
So if you're buying them and
you're going to use them like

689
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,360
people use those huge tall
skeletons at at Halloween and

690
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,800
they dress them up for all sure.
Yeah, have at it.

691
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,120
I I approve that.
Good idea, what do you find it

692
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,880
Bonus of those home harbor one.
My approval but I.

693
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,560
Know I think they're already
made for it because all of them

694
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,280
already have a Maple Leaf on
Santa his chest and the little

695
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,120
gift he's holding is already
Plaid like.

696
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,120
It's nice.
What do you think of?

697
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,639
Highland Games.
Is it Santa's or Snowman that

698
00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:23,040
we're talking about here, Santa?
Santa's.

699
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,199
That was the Santa's.
What do you think Santa's

700
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:29,440
wearing under his skill?
Don't ask.

701
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,600
Mistletoe, mistletoe.
That's a good one.

702
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,960
Sure.
I'll take this though.

703
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,520
Never mind.
Oh my God.

704
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,800
OK.
Aintley commented about your

705
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,920
lice, Rachel.
I don't think we.

706
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,360
Yeah, yes, yeah.
It's gone now, thank God, but I

707
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,840
checked every day for two weeks.
It was oh God, annoying.

708
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,120
If you miss 1 egg, those suckers
come back.

709
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,680
That's the problem.
Anyway, what'd she say?

710
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,720
Well, Aintley said.
I hope our household has had

711
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:07,280
their lifetime share of lice.
My two and four year old boys

712
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,800
got it and I refuse to just
shave their heads.

713
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,760
Taking care of that was more
exhausting than laboring both of

714
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,080
them.
Yeah, Oh my gosh, it is

715
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,240
exhausting.
Yeah, so she says her lice kit

716
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:26,320
is olive oil, Saran wrap,
medicated treatments, rubbing

717
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,880
alcohol in a spray bottle.
Oh, rubbing.

718
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,160
Alcohol.
Oh, those are all used.

719
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,680
I don't have the.
Medicaid, yeah.

720
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,720
OK, so you're using everything.
Well, the the olive oil is like

721
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:39,640
the conditioner that you had
told me about.

722
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,080
Foreman and someone else told me
to use the conditioner and just

723
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,680
comb everything out.
The medicated stuff kills

724
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,840
everything.
And then I don't know what the

725
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,480
rubbing alcohol does.
You sure it's rubbing alcohol or

726
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,920
is it just alcohol?
Maybe just alcohol.

727
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:58,160
That's what I needed, yeah.
Sure, we have a couple of voice

728
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:58,840
memos.
Great.

729
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,200
OK.
Which are just lovely.

730
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,640
The first one we've received
comes courtesy of Erica Vincent,

731
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,280
the Realtor.
Yes, okay, Erica.

732
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,600
Hi guys, Erica Vincent here.
I was just listening to your

733
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,520
episode where Rachel, you were
talking about one of your girls

734
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,760
having head lice, or maybe it
was both your girls, I don't

735
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,720
remember.
We had our own incident with

736
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:25,120
head lice a couple years ago.
It was absolutely awful.

737
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:28,200
I completely freaked out.
I think you handled it a lot

738
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,480
better than I did.
I panicked.

739
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,760
I went out to Shoppers and
bought like 5 bottles, I think,

740
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,160
of lice shampoo.
I was also thinking back to when

741
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,960
we worked at camp.
So Rachel and I worked at camp

742
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,920
together for a few summers and I
was never one of the people that

743
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,200
was doing the lice checks, but I
lived in staff quarters with the

744
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,360
people that did them.
And they would come back talking

745
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,840
about it and we would all just
feel so itchy all night.

746
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:01,240
And eventually we learned that
the lice like clean hair.

747
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,600
And so when we were anticipating
a new group of kids, all of us,

748
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,960
all the girls, all the girls
staff because we had the long

749
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,000
hair, we would stop washing our
hair for like two or three days

750
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,720
before the new group of kids
were coming in.

751
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,760
So that was how we.
Dealt with that.

752
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,720
Yes that's true.
And I was the lice picker at

753
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:20,160
camp.
Want to hear another one?

754
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,480
Hey guys, it's Dave and Elmer.
Number one, it was great to hear

755
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,200
from Scotty the other day.
That was kind of cool.

756
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,880
Going back a couple of episodes.
Dave was complaining about the

757
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,600
South end Costco.
Well, any Costco around

758
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,000
lunchtime is a shit show, so
that's on him.

759
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,520
And the admitting thing on the
Facebook groups, I admit the

760
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,000
Elmer and Area Community News
Group about 9000 members.

761
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,960
I've got the anonymous posts
turned off, it's my discretion

762
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,400
whether they get in or not, and
I turned it off because it just

763
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,560
caused nothing but arguments and
crap.

764
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,240
So if you can't put your name on
it, you can't send it.

765
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,840
Yeah.
Other than that, I hope you guys

766
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,560
are doing well and we'll talk
soon.

767
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:05,320
Have a great day.
Bye.

768
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,680
He agrees.
Thank you, Dave.

769
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,120
It should be turned off.
That's.

770
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,080
Right.
Yeah, I agree.

771
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:13,040
If you can't say it in public,
then don't say it in public.

772
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,240
It's one of our mottos here.
Switch LA so you know, deal with

773
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:20,440
it.
I can't wait to post.

774
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,000
I can't wait to post anything
and everything on Elmer's

775
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,560
community news to know that it's
going to get boosted by the

776
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,320
moderators now that's great to
know.
