(00:00):
I can. Do I know why Foreman's wife
treats him that way? I what I I'm sorry, but how does
she? I don't know if we're going to
have time for that. I feel like we need, we might
have to skim over that. It might be cut for time.
No, I think it. I think we'll have time.
I don't, I don't know. I think we'll have time.
(00:22):
I can't see you guys right now. Why is this doing this?
I can't see your reactions. I think the computer is trying
to tell you to pick a different.I don't know.
I hello this is due to underwhelming demand.
(00:42):
The podcast that, as this podcast comes out, is perfect
for Earth Day. Oh.
Because. Very eco friendly.
Yeah, well, not only that, but it contains. 2 animals.
It contains recycled garbage, basically, as we as we all know.
Yeah. Am I right?
(01:02):
Wait, I'm right. Yeah.
Some people do call us that. Yes, that's true.
Recycled garbage Recycled. Missed opportunity to name this
show. Should have named it that.
Another missed opportunity. On that note though, by the way,
same day as our say, Happy birthday to my sister Heather
and also to my good friend Aaron.
May you get paid in Maple syrup for years to come.
(01:24):
Okay, there you go. That's.
Not very efficient. Very nice.
I mean it's. Lovely to have Maple syrup, but
I would also rather have money, so that's not a very good wish.
But what you wish for have you? Seen the price of that these
days, Yeah. Exactly.
All right. Yeah, on the on the podcast
today, Rachel says she knows exactly why Foreman's wife's
(01:46):
been doing things for him. If we have time, if we have.
Yeah, we're gonna have time. I have a good idea.
Bad idea. It's the bitching fee that's a
good idea. That's immediately good idea.
That's a bitch. It's a bitching fee.
And we start off with Foreman, who has some news for YES.
I'm. Just gonna put.
On some some free handout glasses here.
(02:08):
Oh free. Yes, I've got this bright green
key chain bottle opener. Gonna take a sip out of this pan
with a koozie on. It OK, what does that say for
all the people who are listening?
If you're watching on YouTube. 104.
That's what I work now, baby. A new job.
(02:33):
Congratulations. Thank you.
You can hear me in the afternoons every weekday on
Country 104. OK.
Number one for country hits. Is that under London?
I don't know where that is. I is right downtown London.
I've heard of them. Yes.
Country. 104. I had to be honest.
I'd never heard of that last radio station you worked for.
(02:56):
I'd never heard of it. What?
Sorry, my husband worked at Heart FM when it very first
opened. That's an interesting and a fun
fact, but I I probably had neverheard of him back then either,
no? I don't think you had no.
So yeah, that was before we wereeven married.
Yeah, well, this one seems to reach a little bit further.
(03:17):
Oh yeah, yes, I, I and. You're back in London, which is
really nice. Back with country music as well,
which is really. Country.
Yes, and I know how much you, because I know how much we all,
we became huge fans of the musicthat we played.
I mean, we of course, and Foreman in particular, there are
numerous times where Foreman would attend, like the Garth
(03:39):
Brooks thing, which was one of my favorite things ever.
I think you were on mat leave, Rachel, and you missed this
because Foreman went to see one of the, I don't know, 25 Garth
Brooks shows in Hamilton and there had to be 25.
And Foreman got in and he he sent me audio of him and Ashley
(04:00):
singing songs while the like. Mostly Ashley, and it was de
Tricia Yearwood who was there with them.
Of course. Funniest.
Thing I remember hearing that. And we OK absolutely howled when
I opened up. His foreman had sent all.
He had emailed me. All.
I just sent some stuff, I didn'tknow what it sounded like.
Funniest thing ever. But I know how much Foreman and
(04:22):
and Ashley love country music, so that's awesome.
Good for you. We in fair fairness, we've,
we've kind of known about this for a little bit.
So we didn't say wait. If you make everyone feel left
out, say. Anything but I'm.
No, we couldn't say anything. I.
I know. Well, I know you're thrilled.
So I'm thrilled. If you're thrilled for me,
(04:43):
that's good. Yeah, that's all.
Good for that. And I get to be involved in the
music again too. And so that's really nice and
and you know, there's so many, so many things that are
happening. There's so many concerts and
things that come through the area that, you know, that has
passed me over in the last while, right?
I had any involvement with now to get to be part of that and
with people who love country music as well and throughout
(05:05):
Southern Ontario, because that, like, you could drive from
London into Milton and still be listening to that station and it
hasn't even started to get fuzzyyet.
Yeah, it's. Really, Milton?
Because I tipped off, I tipped off a friend of mine, I won't
say who and I just said look, don't say anything.
But you know, I think Foreman's moving over to the to country
104. Oh, so you were telling people?
(05:27):
I didn't tell anybody except Jeremy.
Only one, Only one and the only reason I told him because he
always used to complain. He works in Cambridge, a fun
fact. I don't believe Cambridge even
exists. You see a sign for it on the
highway, But there's, there's Kitchener, there's Waterloo,
there's there's no Cambridge. I don't know where it is.
Where is that? It doesn't matter.
(05:50):
So it doesn't matter. Always complain because you love
to listen to us, but you couldn't get once you get to
like Kitchener or probably before Kitchener, but country
one O 4. Oh yeah, That, that that's a
banger. That thing kicks out.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
In the in radio terms, it goes. You know it's a booming.
(06:12):
It's a booming. And available on the Radio
Player app and iHeartRadio. OK, OK.
Perfect. For those of you who might
perhaps be in a different province, Nova Scotia
iHeartRadio or radio player, look up Country 104.
It is there. We have a contest to see Kenny
Chesney at the Sphere in Vegas right now.
(06:33):
Oh wow, that's. A good one?
Absolutely. Yeah.
How would you rate the surroundings where you are right
now? The surroundings, yeah.
You know, I always used to like,well, not just that, but I used
to always physical location. Yeah.
I used to get a kick out of whenI, when I moved, I was always
excited to see how different that radio station was from the
(06:55):
one I'd worked at for or other ones that I worked at, you know,
in a, you know, you know, out offrom one to 10, how do you rank
the new surroundings, the new where, where you're broadcasting
from your, your new booth, your new oh, studio, you know that
thing. Oh, yeah.
Oh, well, in inside is a 10/10 out of 10.
(07:17):
Absolutely. It's beautiful.
It's well done, the equipment's great, It's well laid out.
It's very clean and makes sense.It's all that is great.
A -. 10 out of 10 is feeling like an absolute sucker for the
first time ever in my life, in my career.
Paying for parking is such a racket.
(07:40):
It is such a racket. An extreme RIP off.
Yeah. I I'm asking everyone, where do
you park? How do you do it?
People have all these different ways and theories in place
because that's like, if you're downtown, if you have a downtown
job, you basically have to pay for parking.
Yes, you do. Unless you have a secret spot,
in which case please send that to me.
Do you have a monthly pass or doyou have?
(08:01):
To get, I'm going to have to get.
Well here's where it gets funny,where there's a person that it
works, I think mostly on AM/980.His name is Juan and he's like
Oh yeah, what you want to do is call this number and I don't
know the guys name but his we all call him Lefty.
So I got to call Lefty, a randomphone number, and a guy who all
(08:22):
the nickname I know is Lefty. OK, he runs one of the parking
lots nearby and he'll give you agood monthly rate and maybe
he'll even move you to a closer parking lot.
Oh, OK. That's good.
So did you call Lefty and they say no, this isn't Lefty, But
let me give you another phone number for Lefty.
(08:42):
Have you got Have you got to lefty?
Yet then I got, Then I got to Lefty after that, who grilled me
for an awful long time about howI got that number.
I don't know. It was a guy who who gave me to
a nameless guy who gave me to you.
Number first and they told me you weren't there, and then they
told me to call you here. You.
(09:02):
Realize now that you're involvednow in the parking the downtown
London parking mafia, right? You've got yourself into the
underworld. Absolutely.
Because he has. He has.
If I stop by his booth, he's there from between certain hours
in the morning and the you have to pay him.
He'll give me a good rate if youpay cash.
Oh, I see. OK.
(09:23):
Everyone call and text, please. I would like to make a a big
show of it to the the fact that people are listening.
So even if we can pretend that you've been listening, you don't
even have to listen. It is 519-643-1039. 103.9 OK.
1034103.9 There you go. 643. 103. 9 couldn't be happy.
(09:44):
I'm true little former. I'm so excited.
For you. Congratulations.
That's awesome. Thank you.
It is thank. You it is.
(10:07):
This is due to Underwhelming Demand, the podcast that once
again, once again is perfect forEarth Day because it's energy
efficient. Actually, it's not even really
Earth, not even really Earth Day.
We've always been energy efficient.
I. Expend a lot of energy with you
guys. No, you don't.
Just watch our podcast on YouTube and you will see how
(10:28):
little energy we actually put into this.
OK. OK.
Thank you very much. Look, look at you.
Yeah, Look at how hard you're. Look at the energy you're
putting into it. Yeah, exactly.
It's time for a very short. A good idea, a bad idea.
It's time for another good idea.A bad idea.
(10:49):
What a Segway. Good idea.
Bad idea. It's a good idea, bad idea.
I don't know whether this is real or not real.
And I heard somebody on the radio earlier, well before we
recorded this, bringing this up,and they had a completely
different take on it than than Ido, but.
I take you didn't like. No, it's just I look at it
(11:11):
differently. I think we we just have a
different outlook probably on life.
Right must not have been on country one O 4.
Number one for country hits at 509-6031 O3.
OK, wasn't you somebody apparently on social media?
This is on Reddit I think, so you can either believe or not
believe it Shared a photo of a receipt that showed that they
(11:34):
were charged a $5 fee at a restaurant for bitching.
It's that's right, it says and they've circled it.
Bitching fee. They had three Miller lights and
then an 8 inch cheese and pepperoni pizza and then they
were charged $5 for bitching. It says bitching fee right on
(11:56):
the bill, but the customer claims the fee was because they
complained that they had been served the wrong beer.
OK, well. And then?
You have been. They also laughed it off, didn't
mind paying it, and didn't believe that they were overly
whiny or bitchy. However, they got a bitching
(12:20):
fee. Good or bad idea, the bitching
fee? Well, I think it's a good idea.
Good idea. However, it's very subjective.
Yeah. So I don't know how you stick to
that. There's no standard of when it
does or does not meet the threshold of being charged, yes.
(12:42):
Again, I like where you're headed with this.
I'm not really looking at standards or anything else, but
I believe the reason that I was drawn to this story is because
it spoke to me. It to me.
This is the correction of the universe.
Some restaurants, some pizza joints, somewhere in the USI
(13:03):
believe has decided enough is enough.
OK, you bitch at us, we charge you $5.
We've had enough of you and there are many of you, as we all
know. Yes, when you work in the people
business, as we have all worked in the people where you have
(13:25):
interactions with people, they get annoyed very quickly.
They bitch a lot. So a bitching thing to me.
To me actually, I look at this as again, a correction.
Maybe the this is putting us in the right.
Maybe this will put us back on track to where we should be.
(13:46):
But the other? People won't bitch as much.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. I think they're going to charge
for. Bitching, well, if you get
charged for bitching, maybe you won't bitch as much.
But the other thing is I feel that we could take this and, and
put it just about anywhere you could do like at the grocery
store if you've got, you know, if you're a senior and I've seen
(14:08):
you and you know, 'cause I know I you, I am 1 you.
Are a senior. And you're in front of me with a
full little cart of groceries and you want to pay cash in a
place where they don't take cashand it says 1 to 8 items and you
have a full cart of groceries, you are going to be charged the
don't be a Dick fee. Don't be a dollars the the sign
(14:30):
fee. You were a Dick.
Costco doesn't take cash. No, no, Costco does take.
Costco does, Yeah. Well, do you fancy?
A little market where you shopping at?
MasterCard. A lot of places where they, she
actually showed them there's I think the one to eight line is
the only specific one that says debit or credit.
(14:53):
There's a sign. It's a big sign because.
They want it to be quick. It's supposed to be quick debit
or credit only. And so this woman and her
husband's loading the bags. It's that the cashier, the one
cashier was filling, loading allthose bags into his little cart.
A full cart, 5 bags, 5 bags in the one that's.
(15:17):
Not one to 8 items. No, that's really not.
And then when it says you have to pay, like she starts pulling
out money and we point to the side can't take your money.
And then she she scrambles around and finds, oh, she pulls
out the card, but it's in the little a cardboard sleeve and
has to pull it out of the sleeve.
(15:38):
And then whether it's fiddling or whether, yeah, like, well, we
are all waiting behind going should be a don't be a Dick fee
lady. So you're proposing that a meter
starts like in a taxi cab and it's just running until she's
prepared? Actually, I don't care the
tally. Keeps going up.
This. Is a great idea, actually good
idea if you're going to take that long.
(16:00):
At any cash register there should be a meter.
As soon as they're run ringing it through and they tell you how
much it is, it should start a tally and if and the longer you
take the more you have to pay. Look, I think it, I think.
That's a great idea. I'll take it even a step
further, genius. Foreman.
I'll take it a step further. Let's do.
That. At Costco, if you don't have
(16:21):
your card ready to be scanned, beep when you go into Costco.
Yep. When you scan it in, when you.
Scan it in. No, when you scan it 2 bucks.
You're just going to get more bitching.
Bad idea. This is a terrible system
because people. Are more efficient and
inefficient. That's why.
That's why no. I think costs.
(16:43):
Will increase the efficiency of our lives.
I think you're. Absolutely not bad idea.
Where's? The recourse for when it's your
fault, not mine. The reason you're just going to
charge me for bitching when you screwed up and it's your fault
and I'm going to get charged andthen I'm going to get angrier
and then you're going to want tocharge me more and it's been
your fault the whole time. Look, that's.
(17:04):
The thing you can't have a bitching fee and a tally running
at the same time. The reason?
Meter running and a bitching fee.
I think 1. Reason Foreman doesn't like the
don't be a Dick fee is Foreman is a Dick sometimes.
Oh yes, you are. What if you have?
Genuinely Yes, you are. What if you have objectively bad
service? That's right.
And then you have to say, Oh no,this isn't right.
(17:27):
And then they charge you the bitching fee, but it was
entirely their fault. Look.
That's why I think it's subjective.
That's why I think the meter running is a genius idea.
Look, because then you know how fast or slow you're going, and
that's your own. Server can't have a meter
running. No, that's mostly a check.
In for me Here's what I'll Here's what I will tell you the
bitching fee. To me, $5.00 is a lot better
(17:49):
than having having them spit in your food because that's what
they're doing. I don't want to they are.
You complain, you get the wrong beer.
I spit in your meat. In your meat, OK, but if you're
serving the wrong beer and you have messed up, then really?
If you're going to charge me thebitching fee, guess how much tip
you're getting? If you're a Bitcher.
(18:13):
What's you're? Not tipping anywhere that's.
It I think. What do they what do they want
to make the restaurant more money in themselves 0 The
bitching fee should. Go to the servers.
The bitching fee goes to the servers.
I would tell you. And the meter running goes to
the cashiers because if you're slow and you're not ready, you
you should have to pay more. I'm.
Going to store is going to accept like.
(18:34):
Japan, we will be so efficient. We'll be it like it will be in
2045. Live everything.
Vending machine on the corner. If we're going to be like Japan,
yeah. Everybody's got credit cards,
that's why. I wasn't trying to make the
world more efficient so much right I am.
I was. That's a great idea.
I was. Trying to do something new.
(18:54):
No, I was trying to get rid of all the Dicks, you know, stop
being a Dick. I mean, wouldn't you like it if
you there was a way? I don't think.
People are trying to be Dicks. When they're.
Slow. I think they're just dumb.
Cuts in front of you when you'redriving down the road.
Wouldn't it be great if you could just push a button and and
or or instead of a red light camera there was a don't be a
(19:14):
Dick camera? I mean, don't automatically
what? That charges their license plate
5 bucks. What color would that one be?
It's a red. Light camera is not a color,
Rachel. Yeah, light.
Is. You're missing the point here.
You have a flasher? Yeah.
And you? Press a button and they get a
ticket. Knows.
That he this is gonna cost for him and a lot.
(19:36):
Of money. This is bringing out.
This is not eliminating Dicks. This is bringing out the Dicks.
This is a bring out your Dicks. No, don't bring out your Dick
just. Don't.
That's not that's. A charge.
Too. That's something else entirely.
That's a that's a way different podcast for him.
That'll cost you. This is just underwhelming
(20:09):
demand the podcast that will make your day, especially if you
have very, very, very extremely low expectations.
Am I? Right.
Like if you have no plans today.Such right?
Well, maybe it will ruin your day, I don't know.
It'll probably make your day if you just skip to the end.
(20:32):
Well, you don't want to skip this part.
Oh, OK. Why?
No good idea, David, Good one, David.
That's a good idea. Just skip over to the comments
that. Was good.
I thought that was a good one. Well.
For the last two episodes, Foreman has talked about.
Things. That his wife has been doing for
(20:52):
him. There is, and he wonders why.
Yeah, there was a comeuppance there.
Was a comeuppance coming? Yes.
Now we didn't. We didn't know when Ashley was
going to listen to those episodes, but it turns out she
has, and she has talked to me all about her thoughts.
You talked to Rachel. Why wouldn't she talk to me?
(21:17):
I don't know why she would talk to.
You so last time. Dave.
Last. Woman.
You, Dave. You mentioned that you.
Couldn't find. I wouldn't, I wouldn't be
bringing this forward as a topicon our podcast, Foreman.
I would simply, that's why she would say, yeah, I would.
Absolutely bringing this up as the topic on our pod.
We should have led with this onebut I got vetoed.
(21:39):
So anyway, here it is at the end.
So last time Forman talked abouthow he had to get the girls
ready before school right? Because Ashley had to go in
early to work and you. Have lunch and how I didn't
really get them ready because they were already made ready.
She did it all for you. Yeah.
She did lunches, she did breakfast.
She did all that. You also talked about how
(21:59):
before, like it was several weeks ago, she made you a really
great sandwich. Yes, Right.
And she loved, love him. Appreciate that shade.
Everything she knows, all the time.
Figure out why why Ashley's doing all this stuff for
Foreman? I mean, he's quite capable on
his own or. That's the whole waiting for the
(22:20):
other shoe to drop thing, yeah. Or is he Dave?
OK, so I get a message from Ashley today.
And she did listen to the last episode did.
She I perhaps. Yeah.
Actually, yes, she must have, because she sends me a photo of
a sandwich. Foreman made this sandwich for
(22:44):
Harley's lunch. She ate 0 of it.
Just saying. This was after school.
OK. After school time.
It's a full sub sub sandwich wrapped up nicely.
Beautiful. It looks great.
It's a big sandwich. Would fill her right up all
through school. Absolutely.
Not one bite. Not one bite.
(23:04):
What's in the sandwich? In the sandwich.
Probably in Ashley's note. It is in Ashley's note.
Actually you're right. Harley said that it had nothing
on it and it had all the wrong things on it.
There was no meat on this sub sandwich, just lettuce.
Processed cheese, which your daughter hates by the way.
(23:25):
Foreman and Mustard You gave hera lettuce, cheese and mustard
sandwich. There's no meat that's.
That's what you gave her. Harley brought it home and asked
Ashley to make it properly for tomorrow.
Can I re rebuttal that properly?Well, hang on, I guess.
Sure. I don't you sent your kid to
(23:46):
school with a cheese and mustardlettuce sandwich wrapped
properly. I mean, it looks nice from the
outside, but there's no meat, notomatoes.
It's cheese, processed cheese, which she doesn't like.
Was that the protein? Lettuce and mustard.
OK. Did you know that your daughter
(24:07):
didn't like? You can read that.
Cheese. Did you know that?
So I got one does and one doesn't so fine.
Emily likes the processed cheeseand Harley likes the regular
cheese. Was it mustard?
What was in the other sandwich? I didn't make her a sandwich
because she doesn't like sandwiches.
Oh, I see. OK, yes.
(24:28):
And the sandwich wasn't the onlything they went to.
They guys, they got strawberries, they got
cucumbers, carrots, grapes, all that stuff we did.
There was no meat in the sandwich because we didn't have
any. I'll tell you.
You get what you get, but apparently you get upset anyway
and then you're asking. Mom to do it the right way for
the next day, yeah. Otherwise, her sandwich would
(24:50):
very much just be the lettuce, the mustard, the other cheese,
and one piece of deli meat. That was the only difference and
she couldn't even touch it. That's not very much.
Yeah, she get that would we whatshe would regularly.
Eat well. I'm not eating.
She didn't eat any of it. I would.
I'm just, I'm with her. I'm not eating a processed
(25:12):
cheese sandwich with with. Mustard and lemon cheese slices.
Whoever. Yeah, because that's what Emily
likes. Not Harley.
Oh my God. OK.
I think Kraft cheese slices are disgusting.
OK, so moving on from that, alsowhen when she went to work, when
Ashley went to work, you said tous that she left out cereal and
(25:35):
poured the cereal into the bowlsfor you and left out the dry
cereal. Well, Ashley says, neither of
our children eat cereal for breakfast.
I know, I know. OK, One used to.
Again, Emily did, and she's recently changed because they're
so particular. If you're catching a pattern
(25:58):
here, yes. OK.
Harley has a toasted bagel with butter plus also yogurt.
Is there a checklist there for you to be checking me, Rachel?
I don't know, I'm just I. Need to be charged a bitching
fee at your house? Oh my God, the kids don't know
how kids are having. So much money.
(26:19):
Yeah, I don't care for making how good you have it, Foreman.
How I could when I was a kid, Six years of making my own
fucking lunch. My parents.
My parents were up at 5:30 in the morning and they were all
gone because they worked hard all day.
We live for ourselves. And did you go to school uphill?
With Windsor the horse your brother and you had to make.
(26:40):
Your own naked. Stuff all in the snow year
round, uphill both ways, OK. So it turns.
Out. Foreman, Ashley.
Foreman makes bad lunches and breakfast and apparently doesn't
know what his kids eat for breakfast.
Yes, and because of all of that incompetence, Ashley says
(27:04):
emphatically. I should absolutely be the
family manager on our Google account.
I deserve it. That's me.
I. Know I'm the family manager for
Google. It's God.
It just drives her crazy becauseshe's telling you now.
(27:25):
I've never given up that title. I I actually think it's fair
that she is the family manager because she seems to do more
things correctly than you. She is the family manager but
not according to Google. I'm taking that with me.
(28:01):
This is due to Wonder Whelming Demand the the podcast that's
like the Eastern windy holiday and now everybody gets it.
I just thought I'd throw that in.
That's such a great joke, that joke.
Never. Ever.
I actually don't get it because I work for myself so exactly.
No, and I didn't get it because it was my first day on the
radio. That's right, no one.

(29:46):
That's a bare minimum standard. Minimum.
Absolutely. Happens Yeah, this has nothing
to do with businesses, but Foreman as we as this podcast is
being released, the Toronto Maple Leafs as you can see I
have my hand on here and the Ottawa Senators are competing
for the opportunity at winning aStanley Cup.
(30:08):
Want to make a an interesting wager?
Absolutely, I do. OK what?
Are you going to do? I think we should do beer
because that makes sense. You like beer.
I enjoy beer. Like a beer from a beer from the
Ottawa region. I could.
(30:28):
Do that, Sure, I could do a how?How about a six pack of Great
Lakes Toronto? OK, how about a six pack of big
rig that is owned and operated by former Ottawa Senators?
I like. That interesting?
I like that. OK, done.
Yes. So you're gonna give each other
those beers if you if the other one win?
No, I I only. I get his beer if I if Toronto
(30:52):
wins and he gets my beer if. Yeah, only the winner gets beer.
Only right? Only the.
Winner gives beer. Exactly.
Beers for champions, Rachel. You get nothing, Rachel.
You get fine. You get nothing.
You're welcome to get in. We're.
Not drinking a lot around here because of Jeremy's cranky panky
SO. That's what you're calling.
It all right, we're on for that panky.
Anybody. Anybody want to communicate with
(31:13):
us at all? Well, I will say on one one
other note about the, you know the whole business and
sponsorship thing. From time to time we have been
known to shut out a business forfree in exchange for you naming
something after us. Oh, and so now I'm attempting to
make sure that the foreman's elbows up Canadian pies continue
to exist even though I've changed radio stations.
(31:34):
Yes, But much to my delight and our delight, and hopefully for a
bright future, Cheryl from the Two Witches of Middlesex County
Pie Company in the Red River Cafe at our flour mill says,
well, yay. I listen to Country One O 4 all
the time. Let's come up with some fun
stuff. OK, fun.
So. All right, so the DAD, the pies.
(31:56):
Keep going, I love. That keep pumping out the pies
and we'll see what happens. Yeah, they're good pies.
They really are flour. Mill, yeah.
Graham, by the way, commented onyour creation that you made for
the Masters. Dave Oh, the I didn't make that
now. I thought it looked like Mac and
cheese. I don't.
No, I didn't make that. That's my my friend John.
(32:17):
You've met John. John is an artiste when it comes
to rice crispy squares. He makes rice crispy cakes for
for us on all kinds of special occasions.
He does it for many others. He did Taylor Swift from the
era's tour as a rice crisp. Oh, yeah.
(32:38):
He is so good. Remember the keg gift card?
What he did? You laughed.
You thought that was hysterical,right?
Yeah. It's.
Good stuff man. Did you take it there and use
it? No, I did not.
No, this one he made look exactly like the Masters logo.
Yes, Yeah, very cool out of RiceKrispies.
And Graham says, I hope warmer days are soon here so you can
(33:00):
chip in your own eagles, Dave. Soon on.
Golfing. Yet soon, Yeah, once, once or
twice, but it hasn't been much. Were you happy with the Masters
outcome? Thrilled, Yes.
I think a lot of people would. Thrilled.
I think, I think every I if if there was someone who won a golf
tournament that, you know, people for people who don't care
(33:21):
about golf for the Masters, it'sa big deal.
Rory has always wanted to win it.
He needed it to win all four of the golf majors.
And I think it was. Yeah, what He was the
sentimental favorite and it was the theater.
I will say that it was painful to watch at times because he
(33:42):
missed a lot of shots, but he also made a lot of great shots.
And but he still won, yeah. And and then was overcome with
emotion because I think that's avery difficult thing to
accomplish. And he did it.
So yes, very happy. Very happy for him.
Good. And it was, Yeah.
What a roller coaster ride to watch.
(34:03):
It was fun. And how nice of Rachel to have
asked you that, allowing you to get that off your chest, Yes, A
feigning interest in your littlesport, yes.
Well. Jeremy watched it all.
Week, I know that. I also saw a lot of people who.
Were interested, I think people watched.
We talked about somebody last week who had a dead cat in their
(34:23):
freezer. A friend of mine a.
Friend of a friend. Still there.
Is there no? Really.
OK. Still there, but he's, you know,
trying to get out. He's open for offers.
I mean I would be too. The ground is thawing so just
better trouble. Ainsley has written to us and
she says I know someone that puttheir dead cat in the freezer
(34:46):
also because it died midwinter and the ground was too frozen to
bury it so the cat was in there until spring.
Oh OK. And now is about the time where
the cat should be coming out. Well if you do the six months,
he says it's now six months so go back 6.
I don't think the ground was frozen then.
Would have been October, Octoberish.
Not exactly. Froze.
They put it in the freezer because they couldn't decide
(35:07):
what to do with that. Yeah.
Yeah. Ainsley had her friend had it in
the freezer because the ground, they couldn't bury it.
OK, our friend Dutch from the Kinsman from the Maple syrup.
Kinsman Maple syrup, Maple sugarbush.
He wrote to us and he says, hey,Foreman, where did you?
Go. Oh, Foreman.
Now everybody knows. Trying to hear you on Heart FM.
(35:28):
Oh well, Country 104 is where you can hear me now. 103.9 FM at
519643103 die. 103.9 OK. We're balling radio player on
iHeartRadio. OK, new job, back to country.
New job, Same foreman. Country 104.
Number one for country hits goesto Kenny Chesney at the Sphere.
OK, we're happy that you're backback in London.
(35:50):
Shilling for a buck? Yeah.
Shilling for a buck? OK, well I have.
Nothing. I've got nothing to shill for,
although if you need a voice over for something, I'm your.
Girl. OK, everybody.
Should have used this for the past 2 1/2 years as my personal
advertisement. Tell all your friends I'll do
their voice overs. OK, we have an e-mail.
(36:12):
We have an e-mail from Emily. She says.
Hey guy, I have not read this yet, so this may be, I don't
know. Hey guys, you're the.
Professional voice over artist? Let's see.
You should read things. Over I'm very good at.
Reading Why would I pay you for that?
After just hucking your services.
True. Why would you?
(36:32):
See what you got. I don't know why you would.
OK, second time ready in here. I listened to the episode this
week when Dave mentioned the freezer contents again.
I honestly don't think breast milk is that weird from someone
who did pump milk and as a freezer full foreman's mom
probably had good memories of itand couldn't let it go.
One thing you guys would love isthat I know some home birth moms
(36:53):
who have in their freezer is their placenta OK.
This is why I read should read things ahead of time.
You can't dispose of that in thetrash.
And if it doesn't, if it doesn'tget dehydrated and made into
capsules, into the freezer it goes.
It's no pet cat, but I thought Iwould shout out the home birth
(37:15):
moms. No, but.
Anyway, I've been enjoying Rachel's hockey Adventures and
can't wait to hear about golf this summer.
Thank you so much. Still love the podcast each week
and and have a great weekend so thank.
You, you might have those. I get home birth moms, fine.
That might happen and I get momsthat had to pump.
I get that. But do you still have it there
(37:36):
40 years later? He just I don't think I would
keep a placenta. She just has to get rid.
Of that, if you have a home birth, though, the if you're at
the hospital, they'd get rid of it.
But you know, medical waste, I guess.
I don't know what you do at home.
I did have someone ask me when Iwas pregnant if they wanted if I
(37:58):
wanted them to make capsules outof my placenta and I said no,
that's OK. No, you can toss that.
Yeah. I have nothing to.
Say, that's fine if you did. I'm not.
Point in the podcast where Rachel just thinks out loud.
(38:20):
That's what you love about me, though it wouldn't be as fun.
And that probably is what has spurred our latest five star
review on Apple Podcasts. You're.
Welcome. If you do get the podcast on
Apple or on Spotify, I believe you can leave a review.
Please do. Five stars are preferred from
Lucky Lou 477329, who says hilarity ensues.
(38:46):
If you're looking for a light hearted show to get you out of
the grind of life because it's overwhelming right now, look no
further. Dave, Rachel and Foreman don't
take themselves too seriously and they playoff each other so
naturally it's a beautiful thing.
I only wish there was a new episode every day.
(39:07):
Oh well, that's a lot of work and we're not getting paid for.
Where can they get a new episodeof you every day?
And a one out of three of us ain't bad on country 104.
Number one for country hits at 519-643-1039.
And we're done. Kenny hit the sphere.
How do I You're ruining? It let.
(39:32):
Me get I'm better. Sorry.
You gotta live with that be Oh, I I need you in my arms, need
you to hold. You're my world, my heart, my
soul, and you ever leave you andtake away everything you're in
(40:02):
my life. I live without you.
I want to know without you.
I can. Do I know why Foreman's wife
treats him that way? I what I I'm sorry, but how does
she? I don't know if we're going to
have time for that. I feel like we need, we might
have to skim over that. It might be cut for time.
No, I think it. I think we'll have time.
I don't, I don't know. I think we'll have time.
(00:22):
I can't see you guys right now. Why is this doing this?
I can't see your reactions. I think the computer is trying
to tell you to pick a different.I don't know.
I hello this is due to underwhelming demand.
(00:42):
The podcast that, as this podcast comes out, is perfect
for Earth Day. Oh.
Because. Very eco friendly.
Yeah, well, not only that, but it contains. 2 animals.
It contains recycled garbage, basically, as we as we all know.
Yeah. Am I right?
(01:02):
Wait, I'm right. Yeah.
Some people do call us that. Yes, that's true.
Recycled garbage Recycled. Missed opportunity to name this
show. Should have named it that.
Another missed opportunity. On that note though, by the way,
same day as our say, Happy birthday to my sister Heather
and also to my good friend Aaron.
May you get paid in Maple syrup for years to come.
(01:24):
Okay, there you go. That's.
Not very efficient. Very nice.
I mean it's. Lovely to have Maple syrup, but
I would also rather have money, so that's not a very good wish.
But what you wish for have you? Seen the price of that these
days, Yeah. Exactly.
All right. Yeah, on the on the podcast
today, Rachel says she knows exactly why Foreman's wife's
(01:46):
been doing things for him. If we have time, if we have.
Yeah, we're gonna have time. I have a good idea.
Bad idea. It's the bitching fee that's a
good idea. That's immediately good idea.
That's a bitch. It's a bitching fee.
And we start off with Foreman, who has some news for YES.
I'm. Just gonna put.
On some some free handout glasses here.
(02:08):
Oh free. Yes, I've got this bright green
key chain bottle opener. Gonna take a sip out of this pan
with a koozie on. It OK, what does that say for
all the people who are listening?
If you're watching on YouTube. 104.
That's what I work now, baby. A new job.
(02:33):
Congratulations. Thank you.
You can hear me in the afternoons every weekday on
Country 104. OK.
Number one for country hits. Is that under London?
I don't know where that is. I is right downtown London.
I've heard of them. Yes.
Country. 104. I had to be honest.
I'd never heard of that last radio station you worked for.
(02:56):
I'd never heard of it. What?
Sorry, my husband worked at Heart FM when it very first
opened. That's an interesting and a fun
fact, but I I probably had neverheard of him back then either,
no? I don't think you had no.
So yeah, that was before we wereeven married.
Yeah, well, this one seems to reach a little bit further.
(03:17):
Oh yeah, yes, I, I and. You're back in London, which is
really nice. Back with country music as well,
which is really. Country.
Yes, and I know how much you, because I know how much we all,
we became huge fans of the musicthat we played.
I mean, we of course, and Foreman in particular, there are
numerous times where Foreman would attend, like the Garth
(03:39):
Brooks thing, which was one of my favorite things ever.
I think you were on mat leave, Rachel, and you missed this
because Foreman went to see one of the, I don't know, 25 Garth
Brooks shows in Hamilton and there had to be 25.
And Foreman got in and he he sent me audio of him and Ashley
(04:00):
singing songs while the like. Mostly Ashley, and it was de
Tricia Yearwood who was there with them.
Of course. Funniest.
Thing I remember hearing that. And we OK absolutely howled when
I opened up. His foreman had sent all.
He had emailed me. All.
I just sent some stuff, I didn'tknow what it sounded like.
Funniest thing ever. But I know how much Foreman and
(04:22):
and Ashley love country music, so that's awesome.
Good for you. We in fair fairness, we've,
we've kind of known about this for a little bit.
So we didn't say wait. If you make everyone feel left
out, say. Anything but I'm.
No, we couldn't say anything. I.
I know. Well, I know you're thrilled.
So I'm thrilled. If you're thrilled for me,
(04:43):
that's good. Yeah, that's all.
Good for that. And I get to be involved in the
music again too. And so that's really nice and
and you know, there's so many, so many things that are
happening. There's so many concerts and
things that come through the area that, you know, that has
passed me over in the last while, right?
I had any involvement with now to get to be part of that and
with people who love country music as well and throughout
(05:05):
Southern Ontario, because that, like, you could drive from
London into Milton and still be listening to that station and it
hasn't even started to get fuzzyyet.
Yeah, it's. Really, Milton?
Because I tipped off, I tipped off a friend of mine, I won't
say who and I just said look, don't say anything.
But you know, I think Foreman's moving over to the to country
104. Oh, so you were telling people?
(05:27):
I didn't tell anybody except Jeremy.
Only one, Only one and the only reason I told him because he
always used to complain. He works in Cambridge, a fun
fact. I don't believe Cambridge even
exists. You see a sign for it on the
highway, But there's, there's Kitchener, there's Waterloo,
there's there's no Cambridge. I don't know where it is.
Where is that? It doesn't matter.
(05:50):
So it doesn't matter. Always complain because you love
to listen to us, but you couldn't get once you get to
like Kitchener or probably before Kitchener, but country
one O 4. Oh yeah, That, that that's a
banger. That thing kicks out.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
In the in radio terms, it goes. You know it's a booming.
(06:12):
It's a booming. And available on the Radio
Player app and iHeartRadio. OK, OK.
Perfect. For those of you who might
perhaps be in a different province, Nova Scotia
iHeartRadio or radio player, look up Country 104.
It is there. We have a contest to see Kenny
Chesney at the Sphere in Vegas right now.
(06:33):
Oh wow, that's. A good one?
Absolutely. Yeah.
How would you rate the surroundings where you are right
now? The surroundings, yeah.
You know, I always used to like,well, not just that, but I used
to always physical location. Yeah.
I used to get a kick out of whenI, when I moved, I was always
excited to see how different that radio station was from the
(06:55):
one I'd worked at for or other ones that I worked at, you know,
in a, you know, you know, out offrom one to 10, how do you rank
the new surroundings, the new where, where you're broadcasting
from your, your new booth, your new oh, studio, you know that
thing. Oh, yeah.
Oh, well, in inside is a 10/10 out of 10.
(07:17):
Absolutely. It's beautiful.
It's well done, the equipment's great, It's well laid out.
It's very clean and makes sense.It's all that is great.
A -. 10 out of 10 is feeling like an absolute sucker for the
first time ever in my life, in my career.
Paying for parking is such a racket.
(07:40):
It is such a racket. An extreme RIP off.
Yeah. I I'm asking everyone, where do
you park? How do you do it?
People have all these different ways and theories in place
because that's like, if you're downtown, if you have a downtown
job, you basically have to pay for parking.
Yes, you do. Unless you have a secret spot,
in which case please send that to me.
Do you have a monthly pass or doyou have?
(08:01):
To get, I'm going to have to get.
Well here's where it gets funny,where there's a person that it
works, I think mostly on AM/980.His name is Juan and he's like
Oh yeah, what you want to do is call this number and I don't
know the guys name but his we all call him Lefty.
So I got to call Lefty, a randomphone number, and a guy who all
(08:22):
the nickname I know is Lefty. OK, he runs one of the parking
lots nearby and he'll give you agood monthly rate and maybe
he'll even move you to a closer parking lot.
Oh, OK. That's good.
So did you call Lefty and they say no, this isn't Lefty, But
let me give you another phone number for Lefty.
(08:42):
Have you got Have you got to lefty?
Yet then I got, Then I got to Lefty after that, who grilled me
for an awful long time about howI got that number.
I don't know. It was a guy who who gave me to
a nameless guy who gave me to you.
Number first and they told me you weren't there, and then they
told me to call you here. You.
(09:02):
Realize now that you're involvednow in the parking the downtown
London parking mafia, right? You've got yourself into the
underworld. Absolutely.
Because he has. He has.
If I stop by his booth, he's there from between certain hours
in the morning and the you have to pay him.
He'll give me a good rate if youpay cash.
Oh, I see. OK.
(09:23):
Everyone call and text, please. I would like to make a a big
show of it to the the fact that people are listening.
So even if we can pretend that you've been listening, you don't
even have to listen. It is 519-643-1039. 103.9 OK.
1034103.9 There you go. 643. 103. 9 couldn't be happy.
(09:44):
I'm true little former. I'm so excited.
For you. Congratulations.
That's awesome. Thank you.
It is thank. You it is.
(10:07):
This is due to Underwhelming Demand, the podcast that once
again, once again is perfect forEarth Day because it's energy
efficient. Actually, it's not even really
Earth, not even really Earth Day.
We've always been energy efficient.
I. Expend a lot of energy with you
guys. No, you don't.
Just watch our podcast on YouTube and you will see how
(10:28):
little energy we actually put into this.
OK. OK.
Thank you very much. Look, look at you.
Yeah, Look at how hard you're. Look at the energy you're
putting into it. Yeah, exactly.
It's time for a very short. A good idea, a bad idea.
It's time for another good idea.A bad idea.
(10:49):
What a Segway. Good idea.
Bad idea. It's a good idea, bad idea.
I don't know whether this is real or not real.
And I heard somebody on the radio earlier, well before we
recorded this, bringing this up,and they had a completely
different take on it than than Ido, but.
I take you didn't like. No, it's just I look at it
(11:11):
differently. I think we we just have a
different outlook probably on life.
Right must not have been on country one O 4.
Number one for country hits at 509-6031 O3.
OK, wasn't you somebody apparently on social media?
This is on Reddit I think, so you can either believe or not
believe it Shared a photo of a receipt that showed that they
(11:34):
were charged a $5 fee at a restaurant for bitching.
It's that's right, it says and they've circled it.
Bitching fee. They had three Miller lights and
then an 8 inch cheese and pepperoni pizza and then they
were charged $5 for bitching. It says bitching fee right on
(11:56):
the bill, but the customer claims the fee was because they
complained that they had been served the wrong beer.
OK, well. And then?
You have been. They also laughed it off, didn't
mind paying it, and didn't believe that they were overly
whiny or bitchy. However, they got a bitching
(12:20):
fee. Good or bad idea, the bitching
fee? Well, I think it's a good idea.
Good idea. However, it's very subjective.
Yeah. So I don't know how you stick to
that. There's no standard of when it
does or does not meet the threshold of being charged, yes.
(12:42):
Again, I like where you're headed with this.
I'm not really looking at standards or anything else, but
I believe the reason that I was drawn to this story is because
it spoke to me. It to me.
This is the correction of the universe.
Some restaurants, some pizza joints, somewhere in the USI
(13:03):
believe has decided enough is enough.
OK, you bitch at us, we charge you $5.
We've had enough of you and there are many of you, as we all
know. Yes, when you work in the people
business, as we have all worked in the people where you have
(13:25):
interactions with people, they get annoyed very quickly.
They bitch a lot. So a bitching thing to me.
To me actually, I look at this as again, a correction.
Maybe the this is putting us in the right.
Maybe this will put us back on track to where we should be.
(13:46):
But the other? People won't bitch as much.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. I think they're going to charge
for. Bitching, well, if you get
charged for bitching, maybe you won't bitch as much.
But the other thing is I feel that we could take this and, and
put it just about anywhere you could do like at the grocery
store if you've got, you know, if you're a senior and I've seen
(14:08):
you and you know, 'cause I know I you, I am 1 you.
Are a senior. And you're in front of me with a
full little cart of groceries and you want to pay cash in a
place where they don't take cashand it says 1 to 8 items and you
have a full cart of groceries, you are going to be charged the
don't be a Dick fee. Don't be a dollars the the sign
(14:30):
fee. You were a Dick.
Costco doesn't take cash. No, no, Costco does take.
Costco does, Yeah. Well, do you fancy?
A little market where you shopping at?
MasterCard. A lot of places where they, she
actually showed them there's I think the one to eight line is
the only specific one that says debit or credit.
(14:53):
There's a sign. It's a big sign because.
They want it to be quick. It's supposed to be quick debit
or credit only. And so this woman and her
husband's loading the bags. It's that the cashier, the one
cashier was filling, loading allthose bags into his little cart.
A full cart, 5 bags, 5 bags in the one that's.
(15:17):
Not one to 8 items. No, that's really not.
And then when it says you have to pay, like she starts pulling
out money and we point to the side can't take your money.
And then she she scrambles around and finds, oh, she pulls
out the card, but it's in the little a cardboard sleeve and
has to pull it out of the sleeve.
(15:38):
And then whether it's fiddling or whether, yeah, like, well, we
are all waiting behind going should be a don't be a Dick fee
lady. So you're proposing that a meter
starts like in a taxi cab and it's just running until she's
prepared? Actually, I don't care the
tally. Keeps going up.
This. Is a great idea, actually good
idea if you're going to take that long.
(16:00):
At any cash register there should be a meter.
As soon as they're run ringing it through and they tell you how
much it is, it should start a tally and if and the longer you
take the more you have to pay. Look, I think it, I think.
That's a great idea. I'll take it even a step
further, genius. Foreman.
I'll take it a step further. Let's do.
That. At Costco, if you don't have
(16:21):
your card ready to be scanned, beep when you go into Costco.
Yep. When you scan it in, when you.
Scan it in. No, when you scan it 2 bucks.
You're just going to get more bitching.
Bad idea. This is a terrible system
because people. Are more efficient and
inefficient. That's why.
That's why no. I think costs.
(16:43):
Will increase the efficiency of our lives.
I think you're. Absolutely not bad idea.
Where's? The recourse for when it's your
fault, not mine. The reason you're just going to
charge me for bitching when you screwed up and it's your fault
and I'm going to get charged andthen I'm going to get angrier
and then you're going to want tocharge me more and it's been
your fault the whole time. Look, that's.
(17:04):
The thing you can't have a bitching fee and a tally running
at the same time. The reason?
Meter running and a bitching fee.
I think 1. Reason Foreman doesn't like the
don't be a Dick fee is Foreman is a Dick sometimes.
Oh yes, you are. What if you have?
Genuinely Yes, you are. What if you have objectively bad
service? That's right.
And then you have to say, Oh no,this isn't right.
(17:27):
And then they charge you the bitching fee, but it was
entirely their fault. Look.
That's why I think it's subjective.
That's why I think the meter running is a genius idea.
Look, because then you know how fast or slow you're going, and
that's your own. Server can't have a meter
running. No, that's mostly a check.
In for me Here's what I'll Here's what I will tell you the
bitching fee. To me, $5.00 is a lot better
(17:49):
than having having them spit in your food because that's what
they're doing. I don't want to they are.
You complain, you get the wrong beer.
I spit in your meat. In your meat, OK, but if you're
serving the wrong beer and you have messed up, then really?
If you're going to charge me thebitching fee, guess how much tip
you're getting? If you're a Bitcher.
(18:13):
What's you're? Not tipping anywhere that's.
It I think. What do they what do they want
to make the restaurant more money in themselves 0 The
bitching fee should. Go to the servers.
The bitching fee goes to the servers.
I would tell you. And the meter running goes to
the cashiers because if you're slow and you're not ready, you
you should have to pay more. I'm.
Going to store is going to accept like.
(18:34):
Japan, we will be so efficient. We'll be it like it will be in
2045. Live everything.
Vending machine on the corner. If we're going to be like Japan,
yeah. Everybody's got credit cards,
that's why. I wasn't trying to make the
world more efficient so much right I am.
I was. That's a great idea.
I was. Trying to do something new.
(18:54):
No, I was trying to get rid of all the Dicks, you know, stop
being a Dick. I mean, wouldn't you like it if
you there was a way? I don't think.
People are trying to be Dicks. When they're.
Slow. I think they're just dumb.
Cuts in front of you when you'redriving down the road.
Wouldn't it be great if you could just push a button and and
or or instead of a red light camera there was a don't be a
(19:14):
Dick camera? I mean, don't automatically
what? That charges their license plate
5 bucks. What color would that one be?
It's a red. Light camera is not a color,
Rachel. Yeah, light.
Is. You're missing the point here.
You have a flasher? Yeah.
And you? Press a button and they get a
ticket. Knows.
That he this is gonna cost for him and a lot.
(19:36):
Of money. This is bringing out.
This is not eliminating Dicks. This is bringing out the Dicks.
This is a bring out your Dicks. No, don't bring out your Dick
just. Don't.
That's not that's. A charge.
Too. That's something else entirely.
That's a that's a way different podcast for him.
That'll cost you. This is just underwhelming
(20:09):
demand the podcast that will make your day, especially if you
have very, very, very extremely low expectations.
Am I? Right.
Like if you have no plans today.Such right?
Well, maybe it will ruin your day, I don't know.
It'll probably make your day if you just skip to the end.
(20:32):
Well, you don't want to skip this part.
Oh, OK. Why?
No good idea, David, Good one, David.
That's a good idea. Just skip over to the comments
that. Was good.
I thought that was a good one. Well.
For the last two episodes, Foreman has talked about.
Things. That his wife has been doing for
(20:52):
him. There is, and he wonders why.
Yeah, there was a comeuppance there.
Was a comeuppance coming? Yes.
Now we didn't. We didn't know when Ashley was
going to listen to those episodes, but it turns out she
has, and she has talked to me all about her thoughts.
You talked to Rachel. Why wouldn't she talk to me?
(21:17):
I don't know why she would talk to.
You so last time. Dave.
Last. Woman.
You, Dave. You mentioned that you.
Couldn't find. I wouldn't, I wouldn't be
bringing this forward as a topicon our podcast, Foreman.
I would simply, that's why she would say, yeah, I would.
Absolutely bringing this up as the topic on our pod.
We should have led with this onebut I got vetoed.
(21:39):
So anyway, here it is at the end.
So last time Forman talked abouthow he had to get the girls
ready before school right? Because Ashley had to go in
early to work and you. Have lunch and how I didn't
really get them ready because they were already made ready.
She did it all for you. Yeah.
She did lunches, she did breakfast.
She did all that. You also talked about how
(21:59):
before, like it was several weeks ago, she made you a really
great sandwich. Yes, Right.
And she loved, love him. Appreciate that shade.
Everything she knows, all the time.
Figure out why why Ashley's doing all this stuff for
Foreman? I mean, he's quite capable on
his own or. That's the whole waiting for the
(22:20):
other shoe to drop thing, yeah. Or is he Dave?
OK, so I get a message from Ashley today.
And she did listen to the last episode did.
She I perhaps. Yeah.
Actually, yes, she must have, because she sends me a photo of
a sandwich. Foreman made this sandwich for
(22:44):
Harley's lunch. She ate 0 of it.
Just saying. This was after school.
OK. After school time.
It's a full sub sub sandwich wrapped up nicely.
Beautiful. It looks great.
It's a big sandwich. Would fill her right up all
through school. Absolutely.
Not one bite. Not one bite.
(23:04):
What's in the sandwich? In the sandwich.
Probably in Ashley's note. It is in Ashley's note.
Actually you're right. Harley said that it had nothing
on it and it had all the wrong things on it.
There was no meat on this sub sandwich, just lettuce.
Processed cheese, which your daughter hates by the way.
(23:25):
Foreman and Mustard You gave hera lettuce, cheese and mustard
sandwich. There's no meat that's.
That's what you gave her. Harley brought it home and asked
Ashley to make it properly for tomorrow.
Can I re rebuttal that properly?Well, hang on, I guess.
Sure. I don't you sent your kid to
(23:46):
school with a cheese and mustardlettuce sandwich wrapped
properly. I mean, it looks nice from the
outside, but there's no meat, notomatoes.
It's cheese, processed cheese, which she doesn't like.
Was that the protein? Lettuce and mustard.
OK. Did you know that your daughter
(24:07):
didn't like? You can read that.
Cheese. Did you know that?
So I got one does and one doesn't so fine.
Emily likes the processed cheeseand Harley likes the regular
cheese. Was it mustard?
What was in the other sandwich? I didn't make her a sandwich
because she doesn't like sandwiches.
Oh, I see. OK, yes.
(24:28):
And the sandwich wasn't the onlything they went to.
They guys, they got strawberries, they got
cucumbers, carrots, grapes, all that stuff we did.
There was no meat in the sandwich because we didn't have
any. I'll tell you.
You get what you get, but apparently you get upset anyway
and then you're asking. Mom to do it the right way for
the next day, yeah. Otherwise, her sandwich would
(24:50):
very much just be the lettuce, the mustard, the other cheese,
and one piece of deli meat. That was the only difference and
she couldn't even touch it. That's not very much.
Yeah, she get that would we whatshe would regularly.
Eat well. I'm not eating.
She didn't eat any of it. I would.
I'm just, I'm with her. I'm not eating a processed
(25:12):
cheese sandwich with with. Mustard and lemon cheese slices.
Whoever. Yeah, because that's what Emily
likes. Not Harley.
Oh my God. OK.
I think Kraft cheese slices are disgusting.
OK, so moving on from that, alsowhen when she went to work, when
Ashley went to work, you said tous that she left out cereal and
(25:35):
poured the cereal into the bowlsfor you and left out the dry
cereal. Well, Ashley says, neither of
our children eat cereal for breakfast.
I know, I know. OK, One used to.
Again, Emily did, and she's recently changed because they're
so particular. If you're catching a pattern
(25:58):
here, yes. OK.
Harley has a toasted bagel with butter plus also yogurt.
Is there a checklist there for you to be checking me, Rachel?
I don't know, I'm just I. Need to be charged a bitching
fee at your house? Oh my God, the kids don't know
how kids are having. So much money.
(26:19):
Yeah, I don't care for making how good you have it, Foreman.
How I could when I was a kid, Six years of making my own
fucking lunch. My parents.
My parents were up at 5:30 in the morning and they were all
gone because they worked hard all day.
We live for ourselves. And did you go to school uphill?
With Windsor the horse your brother and you had to make.
(26:40):
Your own naked. Stuff all in the snow year
round, uphill both ways, OK. So it turns.
Out. Foreman, Ashley.
Foreman makes bad lunches and breakfast and apparently doesn't
know what his kids eat for breakfast.
Yes, and because of all of that incompetence, Ashley says
(27:04):
emphatically. I should absolutely be the
family manager on our Google account.
I deserve it. That's me.
I. Know I'm the family manager for
Google. It's God.
It just drives her crazy becauseshe's telling you now.
(27:25):
I've never given up that title. I I actually think it's fair
that she is the family manager because she seems to do more
things correctly than you. She is the family manager but
not according to Google. I'm taking that with me.
(28:01):
This is due to Wonder Whelming Demand the the podcast that's
like the Eastern windy holiday and now everybody gets it.
I just thought I'd throw that in.
That's such a great joke, that joke.
Never. Ever.
I actually don't get it because I work for myself so exactly.
No, and I didn't get it because it was my first day on the
radio. That's right, no one.
(28:22):
Well, I got it, but anyway. You get every day.
Every day is a holiday for Dave.Every day is a holiday for me.
We are Dave, Rachel before, but don't forget you can go to our
website, underwhelming.ca, whereyou will find everything
underwhelming. Everything.
I mean, we've loaded it up with underwhelming things.
Yeah. Underwhelming things.
That's what we do. It's.
(28:43):
Just. All there for you.
Yeah, it's completely underwhelming.
That's why it's called underwhelming.ca.
You'll leave. Thinking.
Huh. Huh.
Well. That that's it.
But. Please, if you're there, so
please. Check it out.
Check everything out there and there are many ways to get ahold

people will know about your business.
(29:46):
That's a bare minimum standard. Minimum.
Absolutely. Happens Yeah, this has nothing
to do with businesses, but Foreman as we as this podcast is
being released, the Toronto Maple Leafs as you can see I
have my hand on here and the Ottawa Senators are competing
for the opportunity at winning aStanley Cup.
(30:08):
Want to make a an interesting wager?
Absolutely, I do. OK what?
Are you going to do? I think we should do beer
because that makes sense. You like beer.
I enjoy beer. Like a beer from a beer from the
Ottawa region. I could.
(30:28):
Do that, Sure, I could do a how?How about a six pack of Great
Lakes Toronto? OK, how about a six pack of big
rig that is owned and operated by former Ottawa Senators?
I like. That interesting?
I like that. OK, done.
Yes. So you're gonna give each other
those beers if you if the other one win?
No, I I only. I get his beer if I if Toronto
(30:52):
wins and he gets my beer if. Yeah, only the winner gets beer.
Only right? Only the.
Winner gives beer. Exactly.
Beers for champions, Rachel. You get nothing, Rachel.
You get fine. You get nothing.
You're welcome to get in. We're.
Not drinking a lot around here because of Jeremy's cranky panky
SO. That's what you're calling.
It all right, we're on for that panky.
Anybody. Anybody want to communicate with
(31:13):
us at all? Well, I will say on one one
other note about the, you know the whole business and
sponsorship thing. From time to time we have been
known to shut out a business forfree in exchange for you naming
something after us. Oh, and so now I'm attempting to
make sure that the foreman's elbows up Canadian pies continue
to exist even though I've changed radio stations.
(31:34):
Yes, But much to my delight and our delight, and hopefully for a
bright future, Cheryl from the Two Witches of Middlesex County
Pie Company in the Red River Cafe at our flour mill says,
well, yay. I listen to Country One O 4 all
the time. Let's come up with some fun
stuff. OK, fun.
So. All right, so the DAD, the pies.
(31:56):
Keep going, I love. That keep pumping out the pies
and we'll see what happens. Yeah, they're good pies.
They really are flour. Mill, yeah.
Graham, by the way, commented onyour creation that you made for
the Masters. Dave Oh, the I didn't make that
now. I thought it looked like Mac and
cheese. I don't.
No, I didn't make that. That's my my friend John.
(32:17):
You've met John. John is an artiste when it comes
to rice crispy squares. He makes rice crispy cakes for
for us on all kinds of special occasions.
He does it for many others. He did Taylor Swift from the
era's tour as a rice crisp. Oh, yeah.
(32:38):
He is so good. Remember the keg gift card?
What he did? You laughed.
You thought that was hysterical,right?
Yeah. It's.
Good stuff man. Did you take it there and use
it? No, I did not.
No, this one he made look exactly like the Masters logo.
Yes, Yeah, very cool out of RiceKrispies.
And Graham says, I hope warmer days are soon here so you can
(33:00):
chip in your own eagles, Dave. Soon on.
Golfing. Yet soon, Yeah, once, once or
twice, but it hasn't been much. Were you happy with the Masters
outcome? Thrilled, Yes.
I think a lot of people would. Thrilled.
I think, I think every I if if there was someone who won a golf
tournament that, you know, people for people who don't care
(33:21):
about golf for the Masters, it'sa big deal.
Rory has always wanted to win it.
He needed it to win all four of the golf majors.
And I think it was. Yeah, what He was the
sentimental favorite and it was the theater.
I will say that it was painful to watch at times because he
(33:42):
missed a lot of shots, but he also made a lot of great shots.
And but he still won, yeah. And and then was overcome with
emotion because I think that's avery difficult thing to
accomplish. And he did it.
So yes, very happy. Very happy for him.
Good. And it was, Yeah.
What a roller coaster ride to watch.
(34:03):
It was fun. And how nice of Rachel to have
asked you that, allowing you to get that off your chest, Yes, A
feigning interest in your littlesport, yes.
Well. Jeremy watched it all.
Week, I know that. I also saw a lot of people who.
Were interested, I think people watched.
We talked about somebody last week who had a dead cat in their
(34:23):
freezer. A friend of mine a.
Friend of a friend. Still there.
Is there no? Really.
OK. Still there, but he's, you know,
trying to get out. He's open for offers.
I mean I would be too. The ground is thawing so just
better trouble. Ainsley has written to us and
she says I know someone that puttheir dead cat in the freezer
(34:46):
also because it died midwinter and the ground was too frozen to
bury it so the cat was in there until spring.
Oh OK. And now is about the time where
the cat should be coming out. Well if you do the six months,
he says it's now six months so go back 6.
I don't think the ground was frozen then.
Would have been October, Octoberish.
Not exactly. Froze.
They put it in the freezer because they couldn't decide
(35:07):
what to do with that. Yeah.
Yeah. Ainsley had her friend had it in
the freezer because the ground, they couldn't bury it.
OK, our friend Dutch from the Kinsman from the Maple syrup.
Kinsman Maple syrup, Maple sugarbush.
He wrote to us and he says, hey,Foreman, where did you?
Go. Oh, Foreman.
Now everybody knows. Trying to hear you on Heart FM.
(35:28):
Oh well, Country 104 is where you can hear me now. 103.9 FM at
519643103 die. 103.9 OK. We're balling radio player on
iHeartRadio. OK, new job, back to country.
New job, Same foreman. Country 104.
Number one for country hits goesto Kenny Chesney at the Sphere.
OK, we're happy that you're backback in London.
(35:50):
Shilling for a buck? Yeah.
Shilling for a buck? OK, well I have.
Nothing. I've got nothing to shill for,
although if you need a voice over for something, I'm your.
Girl. OK, everybody.
Should have used this for the past 2 1/2 years as my personal
advertisement. Tell all your friends I'll do
their voice overs. OK, we have an e-mail.
(36:12):
We have an e-mail from Emily. She says.
Hey guy, I have not read this yet, so this may be, I don't
know. Hey guys, you're the.
Professional voice over artist? Let's see.
You should read things. Over I'm very good at.
Reading Why would I pay you for that?
After just hucking your services.
True. Why would you?
(36:32):
See what you got. I don't know why you would.
OK, second time ready in here. I listened to the episode this
week when Dave mentioned the freezer contents again.
I honestly don't think breast milk is that weird from someone
who did pump milk and as a freezer full foreman's mom
probably had good memories of itand couldn't let it go.
One thing you guys would love isthat I know some home birth moms
(36:53):
who have in their freezer is their placenta OK.
This is why I read should read things ahead of time.
You can't dispose of that in thetrash.
And if it doesn't, if it doesn'tget dehydrated and made into
capsules, into the freezer it goes.
It's no pet cat, but I thought Iwould shout out the home birth
(37:15):
moms. No, but.
Anyway, I've been enjoying Rachel's hockey Adventures and
can't wait to hear about golf this summer.
Thank you so much. Still love the podcast each week
and and have a great weekend so thank.
You, you might have those. I get home birth moms, fine.
That might happen and I get momsthat had to pump.
I get that. But do you still have it there
(37:36):
40 years later? He just I don't think I would
keep a placenta. She just has to get rid.
Of that, if you have a home birth, though, the if you're at
the hospital, they'd get rid of it.
But you know, medical waste, I guess.
I don't know what you do at home.
I did have someone ask me when Iwas pregnant if they wanted if I
(37:58):
wanted them to make capsules outof my placenta and I said no,
that's OK. No, you can toss that.
Yeah. I have nothing to.
Say, that's fine if you did. I'm not.
Point in the podcast where Rachel just thinks out loud.
(38:20):
That's what you love about me, though it wouldn't be as fun.
And that probably is what has spurred our latest five star
review on Apple Podcasts. You're.
Welcome. If you do get the podcast on
Apple or on Spotify, I believe you can leave a review.
Please do. Five stars are preferred from
Lucky Lou 477329, who says hilarity ensues.
(38:46):
If you're looking for a light hearted show to get you out of
the grind of life because it's overwhelming right now, look no
further. Dave, Rachel and Foreman don't
take themselves too seriously and they playoff each other so
naturally it's a beautiful thing.
I only wish there was a new episode every day.
(39:07):
Oh well, that's a lot of work and we're not getting paid for.
Where can they get a new episodeof you every day?
And a one out of three of us ain't bad on country 104.
Number one for country hits at 519-643-1039.
And we're done. Kenny hit the sphere.
How do I You're ruining? It let.
(39:32):
Me get I'm better. Sorry.
You gotta live with that be Oh, I I need you in my arms, need
you to hold. You're my world, my heart, my
soul, and you ever leave you andtake away everything you're in
(40:02):
my life. I live without you.
I want to know without you.
