(00:02):

'cause you you starting to get all scratchy and so.
Hang on. Oh, OK, sounds fine on my end.

In there actually. Found out there's such a.
Finger pants in the in the swamp.

Yeah, of course it's even. We're all over.
Anyway. Yeah, and you know what happened
(01:06):
to me this week? During small fast season, I
don't want to know. Our air conditioner broke.
Oh no. We need a whole new unit, so
that's super. Fat.
No, not. They're supposed to come in the
next two days, so we'll see. Ouch.
Well, keep your distance. All right?
We we are Dave, Rachel and Foreman coming up.
(01:29):
Foreman wonders. Did he did he see right through
me? Dave can run, but he can't hide.
And is Rachel, too just a littletoo obsessive?
I thought you were going to say crazy, but you know, either or.
That was close there's. Implications.
There are, I think, I think anyway, this fine, high quality
(01:51):

that she does and her face painting is like, it's so good,
I would never be able to do it. Even if your own business is
having some kind of event. We missed her.
(02:32):
She was set up at Misty Glenn Creamery outside Belmont.
Back in June. Hey, nice.
Yeah, that's awesome. Have her come if she's, if you

Support her. She's supporting us, so please
support her. Yeah, she's in the.
Woodstock area, so she'll go around the around the region
should. I she's a full children's
entertainer. Like it's not just she shows up
in paints and that's it. Like it's the whole party.
(03:14):
She knows is what she's putting on for you.
Pretty awesome. You don't have to do it.
Yes, which is what every parent wants.
We talked about that last time. That's what you need.
Who's segueing from that? It's me segueing.
That thus the silence. I'm going to cut it out when I
(03:35):
do mine. I might extend it in the audio
version. Even more in there that yeah, OK
with. The music.
Oh my God, now I'm giving you ideas.
All right. Well, what I, what I need as a,
as a, as a parent to sparkle Princess parties, what I don't
need as a fully grown adult is OCD, because that has overcome
(03:55):
me lately. And I've always been a little
bit OC. There's always things that I do
that are a little bit OCD. And I don't say that lightly
because I do have a little bit of that.
But do you do anything? And you don't even have to be as
as as extreme as I am maybe. But do you do anything that even
annoys your own self? Things that you check
(04:16):
incessantly or have to do a certain way every single time or
whatever? Because every night before I go
to bed and this drives me nuts, I have to check the stove and
make sure it's off. Probably 25 times I will stand
there for a full 5 to 10 minutesand make sure all the burners
(04:37):
are off. But after the first time, why
would you go back? And I have to, I don't want to
make oh, got to make sure it's, I really have to make sure it's
off. And now it's a gas stove.
And so it's been left on or partially on before.
And gas is going into the house,right?
Like CO2 could go in the house. Now we have alarms so that yeah.
But you know, you never know. So I got a check a million times
(04:58):
before I go to bed and I will stand there and turn them all
and make I turn them to make sure they're off and they're,
and then I kind of go over them and then I look at the lines and
I made sure they're all lined upto the off position.
And then I will say to myself every night, this annoys me to
no end, like wow, to no end. I try to like even shorten it up
(05:19):
a little bit sometimes because I, I will say out loud to
myself, OK, they're all off. Go to bed.
You've checked it. You've checked it so many times.
Rachel, go to bed. Does anyone else do anything
like that? There's got to be something that
we all do. Because when you talk about
obsessive compulsive and it is adisorder and it's not
(05:39):
necessarily funny, but it, it can, I think, show itself in
funny ways. I think so too.
So when when we talk about obsessive compulsive disorder,
we sort of think it's funny onlybecause people do obsessive.
Because it's so silly to your toto yourself.
Maybe, well, it's silly to the rest of us, maybe, but not silly
(06:04):
to the person doing it. But I'm wondering if you're more
just. That's just anxiety.
Well, probably I don't want to. I don't want the house to fill
with gas, right, Right. So that's I.
Think they go hand hand in glovebut. 20.
Five times a night and you're saying, Oh my God.
I would yeah, it's it did not. And then I go upstairs and I say
to Jeremy, God, I annoy myself. Like why do I do that?
(06:25):
Why can't I just stop? So I sometimes I'll say to him,
I'm going upstairs first you have to check everything.
And so if I know he's. Checking it trust.
Him. No, I trust him.
I'm like, good, he's checking itand then I will just go.
So I'm like off the hook. So.
But I have to put the dog to bedbecause the dog, as you know,
hates Jeremy still. That has not changed.
(06:46):
So I have to put her in her crate and she goes in her crate
because otherwise she's tick, tick, tick, tick, tick all night
long around the house and we can't have that so.
So I have to wait for her and I'm like, put her to bed.
She won't go in there when he's downstairs anyway.
It's the whole thing. Yeah.
Speaking of anxiety, the dog, I mean come.
On I mean because like the worstthe dog has it.
My worst offence is probably checking keys.
(07:08):
Like if I'm in the car, I'm parking somewhere, I'm getting
out. I know my keys are in my pocket.
I feel if my keys are in my pocket, am I locking the car by
the button on the door then OK, did I do that?
Are the keys still in my pocket?The doors locked, keys are in my
pocket now I can actually leave the car but can I close the door
(07:29):
yet to where are my keys? They're in my pocket.
Yeah, now I can. Safely close the door.
I know. Unless I don't have keys and
show up to mini golf and then just fuck the whole family.
But yeah, you. Don't you don't even have.
Listen, I lost my keys and I andI remember the day I was at an
amusement park and we're on rides.
And I kept. Checking for Mike, I kept.
Checking for them I kept. I remember.
(07:50):
Checking for Mike because I'm onrides, I'm going upside down,
I'm doing all this stuff and kept checking for them.
And then I think what happened was while checking for my keys,
I pulled my hand out of my pocket and knocked the keys out
of my like. I.
Literally not. That's how I did it.
So you got to, you know, these are the things you're a little
(08:13):
obsessive, compulsive things. Yes.
And then I and then I check it and then I'm like, well, did I
knock one the wrong way? Did I knock one of the burner
knobs the wrong way? Is that going to be even though
it has to push and turn? It on yeah.
Like what? I used to be obsessive, but
really not, not nearly as bad when we were doing morning radio
and I would check the alarm clock like 10 times before bed.
(08:37):
Is it on? Is it set?
OK, it's on. Is it on AM?
Not PM. It's at the right time.
Is it? It's on.
They're both both. Because I it had a dual alarm.
They're both set. OK.
Yeah, they're both AM Yep. Check it again.
Make sure they're on because I didn't want to wake up late.
Miss the show? And I have and I've done that.
Check it so many times. I have, and I you wake up near
the time you should anyway and realize why didn't the alarm go
(09:00):
off? Exactly.
I'm awake. It didn't go off.
You look at it. It's set for 3:00 AM the next
day already. Where was it today?
Yeah. Holy crap.
Thank goodness I woke up. Because I would set my alarm
like I had an actual alarm clockand I would just set my phone so
I'd have like 4 alarms going off.
Jeremy. Just because oh, he hated that,
(09:21):
hated it, but he got used to it.I.
Never worried about my and I I got up for, you know, 30 plus
years at you know, 3 AMI never checked my I never never checked
it. Never.
Well, who said it? Well, not me, I don't think.
I never checked for 30 years. You said it.
For some while. I never checked it, I didn't
(09:43):
even have any. Set your own alarm I.
Wasn't married at. I wasn't always married to Jana
at. That time for a free period.
But she turned it on. It's always set.
It has to be on, right? The times are always there.
It needs, yeah. On mine's always set, but I
would turn it off in the morningand then I'd have to turn it
(10:03):
back. On I don't know why I never
really that stuff never worked me, I never did.
Dave here just live at his very best life.
Oh, because I'm not. Here in the world.
It must be nice. It must be.
Nice. Yes, and I don't know about you,
Rachel. I'm picturing the old timey
alarm clock with like, the flapsfor numbers beside Dave's bed.
No, I didn't. Have that I didn't have that I
(10:25):
was. Recently at a school I.
Couldn't even see the alarm thatwould go off.
I couldn't. I remember I got a different
alarm clock just so I could see the time because I couldn't see
the time on the actual alarm clock.
And you did just set to your alarm clock the one that the
extra one that you bought. Set.
I don't know, I just wanted an alarm clock close to me that I
(10:49):
could. See.
Right, so I knew the time. Well, to be taken care of like
that, you don't even have to setyour own alarm.
Yeah, it. Just needs to be turned on.
OK, I set it. Yeah.
Someone turns it on. It's either turned on on Sunday
night or it's turned off on Friday night.
Right, right. Your slippers laid out for you
and you're no doesn't have to dowith anything.
(11:11):
It must be nice. It must be nice.
He did more thing. To do with anything you guys are
you don't even understand. It needs to be, I see.
That my topic has gone to the wrong audience so.
I worry. I don't really worry.
I'm obsessive compulsive and I know I am to the point where I
(11:32):
recognize I'm doing it and I really don't care.
No, I don't care. I I do it because it makes me
feel better. OK.
Like for instance we have two lights in the bedroom and when 1
is switched up the other one is usually down.
Does that make sense? Yeah.
(11:53):
So, OK. So it turns on and on the same
light. Yes, when you turn a light on,
you push up. That's how I like to turn a
light on. I don't want to push down right.
I want to push been left in thatposition exactly then whatever
and I hate that Oh so. I.
Like the rub? Here's the rub if you have to go
back. To the other side.
(12:14):
If the little if the lights are on and the main light when I
walk into the bedroom is in the down position, well, I can't
turn them off from there. I have to go to the other light
and turn them off so they're right.
So every other time you have to switch which switch you're
using. And I know exactly what I'm
doing, and I know exactly how OCD that is, yes, but I don't
(12:37):
care. I do not.
Care. I think everybody has something.
I do not care and we have 2 coffee mugs.
We have a red one and a yellow one.
OK, These are really nice mugs. We we used to have two Reds, 2
yellows and two greens. But we've we've broken every
smash to now we're down to a redand a yellow.
(12:59):
OK, I like the red 1 the best. OK, it was my favorite.
I like the red 1 the best. Please take note Dave's family
I. Wash those cops, they can't go
in the dishwasher. They're not allowed to go.
They it says right on them, not dishwasher safe.
I wash them every day and I decide who gets the red mug you
(13:21):
can see and I and I try very hard to be fair.
I want the red mug and I'm goingto let Jana have it tomorrow.
Does Jana care which color she. Don't think so.
So. Just give her.
That's very nice to. Know, but I can't.
I can't. I can't.
Because you want to be fair, I have to.
(13:43):
Be here, right? I can't.
I like that. I like that.
That's very nice of you, I know.But you don't need to put that
on Jana because I don't think she cares which color she's.
The first one up and I know yeah, she's going to be up
before me. So if the red mugs under the
coffee maker ready to go, she gets it.
That's a sacrifice for me because I want it.
(14:04):
Right. And she couldn't give to.
She Have you ever expressed thisto her?
And I'm not going to, and I hopeshe doesn't hear this.
I hope she does. I don't want her to.
Hear that? You get the red cup every single
time from. Fridays on Fridays when I clean
them because Saturday's a sleep in day, I'm like, what do I do?
Do I put the red one first? That means I got to get up
(14:26):
early. Who's going to get that's right.
Well, why don't you? If you get up early you just put
you switch them. That's OCD.
Yeah, that's very. That's a lot of thinking for a
mug. Color.
Way too much thinking, right? Can I see your light switch
situation and add you my house in the kitchen light?
(14:47):
Two switches in either end of the kitchen.
It didn't use the dim and I wanted it to dim so I changed
one of them out to a dimmer. Yes, now that one switch,
because I did it wrong, will only turn on or off if the other
switch is in one specific position.
That would drive V crazy. I couldn't handle it.
(15:08):
It's. Flipped the other way, you
couldn't turn it on or. If David comes to your house, I
wouldn't know what to never tellI.
Would never go into the room. I wouldn't even go into the
room, dude. It's like I wouldn't go into the
room. I tell you what, I wouldn't go.
I wouldn't go into the room in the dark and I'd be I, I, I
wouldn't want to be the last oneout of the room that had to turn
the lights off. Could you imagine if that was
your kitchen? You wouldn't find your red mug.
No, no. What would I?
(15:29):
Do you'd be fucked. I'm screwed.
They'd both be smashed. This is due to underwhelming
(15:53):
demand. The Hawaiian shirt of podcasts.
I don't think. I don't think I need to say
anything more. I mean.
It's a little bit tacky, but always in style.
Yes, usually paired with cargo shorts.
New Balance shoes. That's right, compression.
Socks never cool, but almost so uncool that it's cool almost but
(16:15):
never quite there. That's right.
We are Dave, Rachel and Foreman and just want to let you know we
have a, a website underwhelming.ca.
You can go there and you can buyall kinds of things that will
entertain yourself. But we also want to let you know
that this will be our last show of of the summer.
(16:37):
Yes, we're going to, we're goingto, we're going to make like a
teacher and take the summer off.Right.
Yes, but here we are for one last episode until September.
I'm almost set to September. Maybe never we'll.
Be back in September. We're just going to take a
little time. This is a great time to catch up
on old episodes. Check out our our our website
(17:00):
yeahunderwhelming.ca. Yeah, you only.
Ever listened and check out someYoutubes?
If you only ever watch on YouTube, check out some of the
audio versions. Yeah.
And tell and by the way, I'm I'mbeing told it's more fun to
watch us on YouTube. Friends of mine have said it's
hilarious watching you guys. I don't know why I don't get it.
(17:20):
I don't think it's that hilarious, but whatever.
Check it out you if you're. There we are, and there we'll
stay. We're there, OK.
On YouTube. So, and with that in mind, the
podcast taking a little break, Iwould like to talk about the
fact that I used to be able to do the radio show and the
(17:43):
podcast without ever hearing from my daughter.
And if you don't, if you know anything about.
He's 18 now. He's 18.
She'll be 19 soon. If you know anything about the
old radio show we used to do andcertainly what we do here on the
(18:04):
podcast, a lot of it involves the people that we're close to,
the people in the family. We talk about our spouses, we
talk about our kids. You guys talk about your kids.
Guaranteed. They don't hear this.
Guaranteed. No guaranteed.
No. Mom does, though.
(18:24):
Mom does. Jeremy doesn't.
My sister said today she's visiting and she said she
talking to somebody else and said something like, oh, you
should get a few podcasts to listen to.
And I said I've got a couple of podcasts for you.
And she said no, I don't listen to your podcasts.
And Jeremy said neither do I. I get your podcast all day.
(18:48):
Like no. You.
Don't. I don't.
Gianna has occasionally checked in, usually because something
gets posted on social media and maybe it involves her and she
wants to know more. What did he?
Say this time. Yeah, we specifically, I
remember saying to her, you don't mind if I talk about it.
(19:10):
Like just just so you know, you know, we're, you know, we talk
about you guys on on the air. And she was always OK with that.
I think of all three spouses, Jana is would care the least
that you talk about her. Yeah, she was always pretty good
about that. And I know that you had talked
to Jeremy and Jeremy was like, ah, he rolls his eyes and go,
yeah, I'm doing it. And the same with with Ashley,
(19:32):
right? Depends on the topic.
Yeah, exactly. But it is a conversation we have
have had to have with our family, our spouses, but
absolutely other family members and some people have said don't
talk about, don't me or don't mention this about me or that.
Specific thing that happened. Or whatever.
Yeah, and that's fine. I found myself.
And I respect that. In a in a situation where I'll,
(19:54):
I'll say to someone, you know, like with the dead cat in the
freezer, right? Can I talk about that?
I didn't. Update on that by the way.
Yeah. Oh, the cat's been they.
They moved it. Well, I will tell you because I
got a text about it. The cat's out, that's out of the
bag. They, they were putting in a new
deck at their house and so the old deck had to come out and
(20:18):
that and that left the spot for a cat, right.
The old deck's been removed before the.
New deck under the deck. Like post holes or something.
You might have mice under that deck then.
Anyway, you might get some other.
Caters. All I know is the cat set.
Up a freeze like a nice hair like breed in a hole.
Yeah. Are you?
Sure, the cat. 'S gone and he made.
(20:39):
OK, yes, that was the freezer. I've been told it's gone.
Sure. That the cat's gone.
Good. So there's your update.
Great. I did ask about that.
And I, you know, from time to time you have to go.
Well, you know, when Even with your wife.
Do you mind if I talk about that?
Right. Most 99% of the time, Janet
doesn't care. Now, when it comes to my
daughter, I don't really worry about it because she's never
(21:00):
paid particular attention to anything that I've ever done.
She doesn't seem to really care.No.
You know, she knew that I was onthe radio when she was younger.
I think it was kind of fun. I would take her to things and
you know, she got into stuff andbut she never really listened to
her dad on the radio. There wasn't really an
opportunity. She could, but she didn't.
(21:20):
It just wasn't something something.
And then occasionally maybe a teacher would say, oh, is that
your dad that's on the road? I heard him talking about you.
And she'd say, did you talk about me today, You know?
Maybe. Probably.
Yeah, I don't think so, because when we were on the radio and I
(21:41):
know we did a podcast and Foreman was responsible for
that, we Foreman created a podcast for for us way before
anybody else was doing podcasts.So a shout out to Foreman
because he was out of his time. It was like this either 30-40
minutes of here's the highlightsif you want to call them the
show morning of the show. Right.
And so you would have to, but wewould do like that's five.
(22:04):
We were doing 5 shows a week, that's five podcast.
It would take a long if she was searching for something about
her, she would had it terrible time finding it.
But now we're doing. 6A week there's a weekend best of 6 a
week. Well, now we're doing one
podcast a week and specific on on.
Usually the podcast will tell you what we're talking about,
(22:26):
including a couple of weeks ago when she wanted to cut the
grass. Yes, right.
Well, I can run, but I can't hide on the weekend and we we
had a little gecko. Ask her about that.
Yes, we had to get together. We got.
Together just before Canada. It was nice, was nice to see
everybody in. Person and Jeremy and Ashley and
(22:48):
Janet. And Charlotte, Charlotte came
along. She wasn't busy.
She was always said, well, you can come with us.
OK, so she go. So the very next day, so that
was Canada Day eve. So Canada Day I was out doing I
think weed whacking, which is truly a what you should be doing
on Canada Day, because I don't Ithink weed whacking is a
Canadian term. Sure.
(23:09):
Anyway, so I'm weed whacking, I'm coming to the house, had my
headphones. And.
She's and she's up. It's, you know, 11:30.
Oh, look, you're up. You know, I've been, I've been
up for five hours and she says pull your headphones.
I so I pull my headphones out and she goes, I was I listened
to your podcast last night. I said why?
(23:32):
Why? Because my friends told me that
you were talking about me. I'm like.
I'm sorry her friends listened to this podcast.
I know, what the hell. Just to get any tidbits about
their friend Charlotte. That's.
Not supposed to happen. Right.
Anyway, good news, when I told the story of her cutting the
grass, I was, I think, fairly truthful.
(23:56):
And she actually said that. Yeah, I, I thought maybe you
would, you know, the TikTok thing.
I wasn't doing it for TikTok. Dad, I'm like, I know, but it
sounds funny. Yeah.
I was just trying to be funny. And she I.
Was going to ask her about that so now.
OK, now I'm getting my answer. You are getting your answer
because her thing was she just wanted something she could throw
(24:17):
her headphones in and zone out and and.
An activity. An activity.
That's what she wanted. And I said that I actually, that
was what I said, and she was actually pleased.
Oh, did you talk about it? Yeah, and then she started
asking me about my friend that Igolf with the.
(24:37):
Lady. Yes.
Oh, then she started asking me. Well, I don't know, like she
goes, where do you get your headlines?
I'm like OK. She's getting to know dad on a
whole new level. I don't think I like this.
I mean. We don't even question Dave that
much. No, nobody does.
Just leave Dave alone. I go into this room once a week
(25:02):
and talk to you guys, but I don't want anybody else knowing
about it. Right.
Something that's out there, Yeah.
And it's so easy to find now, yeah.
It is very easy to find, it's all over social media.
She didn't ask you where Rachel buys all her toys.
No, she actually, she actually did bring that up, Rachel.
(25:24):
Did she? What'd she say?
We'll talk about it later, OK? I know.
Thoughts. Yeah.
Speaking of, we're not recording.
Yet probably. The next time we meet.
I can send her the way of a special party.
Sparkle Princess parties after dark.
(25:45):
That's right. This is due to underwhelming
demand with Dave, Rachel and Foreman, the podcast.
That's like forgetting to use deodorant on a hot July day.
(26:08):
Oh. A bit stinky.
A bit. Well, you know, depends on what
kind of deodorant. Like maybe you have long lasting
deodorant maybe. What you need is antiperspirant.
True. And yeah, you're just just
saying. What you need is to park your
car where you're allowed to parkyour car.
(26:31):
What's that mean? Norman just keeps it going.
You see that Norman just drives,no stops.
There was there. Was no gap, no nothing.
We just get in the car and go, yeah, well done for.
Me and then we stop where we're pretty sure we're allowed to
(26:52):
park, but there are a lot of no parking signs around except
right at this spot where my car is.
So that's got to be fine, right?And this is this is the did he
see right through me? Maybe you can rate my
performance. OK I'm not sure which angle we
wanna take here. OK.
OK, Will you tell the story and we'll let you know the angle?
(27:14):
Yeah, 'cause this is the story of the Foreman family going off
to the beach on Canada Day. Ohh.
Oh, that's very. Busy beach for Canada Day?
Why not? Yes, but we went to a beach
that, well we wanted to go to 1 we've never been to before and
it was Ipper wash. Oh OK.
Which is massive. It's a nice wide beach, yeah.
It's a beautiful beach. You could have 5.
(27:35):
Times the man of people there. Then they're in Port Stanley and
you never know because it's justkeeps going.
Yes, it's yeah. Yeah, which turned out to be the
case, which so there's plenty ofpeople there, but it was still
you got lots of space spread out.
Clever. OK, lovely.
Great beach on late, for those who don't know, on Lake Huron,
just South of Grand Bend, right.Yeah.
(27:56):
So you got and it's nice and shallow.
It goes out. The water is clear.
You can. Yeah.
Yeah, it's a really nice beach. I'm surprised it's not well, I
mean it was popular lap day, butyou think Grand Bend Port
Stanley? But it per wash is really nice.
It's very nice. No lifeguards though, so that
might be part of it like it could be.
OK. But it's, I mean, it's
(28:17):
maintained and whatever obviously.
And yeah, it was lovely, but busy.
So there are certain designated parking lots and I went to one I
found in some sort of Google mapreview comment of like if it's
really busy go park down here. Because are you looking let's
(28:39):
before we get to specific or anything you looking for
somewhere where you do not have to pay.
Well, yeah. And it well, I don't think any
of the lots there you don't haveto pay.
OK. Ideally, that's what you're.
Looking and even if you I mean I'm learning from my downtown
parking experience that even if it says you have to pay.
You don't necessarily have to pay.
(29:00):
Who cares, right? Who's Manning to pay?
A parking ticket every now and then, it just, it offsets the
free parking that you're gettingevery day at work.
You're not going to pay a parking ticket unless it's a
city thing, so you don't. Like not paying for.
Municipality thing you're not getting any parking ticket you
get that doesn't have the municipality on it.
Normans right? Just throw it away.
(29:22):
Yeah, if it's a private law, if it's in.
Park That's true, guys. If it didn't park, come get my
30 bucks. Come get it.
Take it. Or OK, don't take that advice.
Absolutely take that advice to the.
Podcast is not good at giving parking advice.
You are in a private lot and they put one of those parking
(29:43):
things on your windshield. Just drive out.
They might tow your. Car.
Don't. They might tow you.
How will they? Tow you if you're driving your
car away. They can't afford that.
They're going to tow the car while you're at the beach.
If they're going to tow your car, they've already towed it.
If you have a ticket on it and they didn't tow it, drive away.
(30:06):
They're not. Towing, I see if there's a
ticket. You mean okay?
Yes, they're not going to pay for the towing in the 1st place
and hope. Please don't.
Take any of don't take any of this advice.
This is good. Concrete, hardcore advice this
is. Very good advice.
Yes. So I parked in.
It was a very small lot, and it was the whole, all the streets
(30:28):
are lined with no parking signs.So you can't park on a street or
whatever. You can't just shove your car
off somewhere. Yeah.
And in part of the line, there were several no parking signs on
part of the lot. And this was like you go down a
slope and you go right onto the beach.
If you want, you could technically, but there's no
parking signs down there. There's, I don't know what the
(30:48):
deal is with it for Wash, by theway, because it seems like
everyone who has a place there and, and some kind of boat also
owns like a 1940s Farmall tractor because it's the only
way to get your boat in and out of the water because it's so
shallow. Cause the tractors are up high
that they bat, they drive right into the lake with these
tractors and their boats behind them and then they get them on
(31:11):
and off. OK, so there's tractors
everywhere, which is hilarious. OK.
But we're not, we're, we parked up and and there was no parking
signs around, but we thought, well, I I think the spot's fine,
right? We're at the beach having a
lovely time. It was a great day.
The weather is great. The yeah, you know, nice calm,
all that. And then out where you can see
(31:31):
where cars are parked out onto the beach, there's a couple of
bylaw officers. Oh, oh, because this turns out
is not a private lot. It's a municipally owned lot.
You got to go pay that. You don't want that.
And I thought, well, great, they've already come by my car,
(31:51):
they're coming out, they're out to the water now.
They've already ticketed me first.
And Ashley thought, I bet you they're starting here and
working their way back. Grab your keys, grab a shirt,
grab some sandals. Get up there right?
See if we can avoid this thing. OK.
Turns out perfectly timed because as the one officer is
(32:14):
eyeing up ticketing the car thatwas parked in front of me.
Oh God. I was able to pipe up and say,
hey, and I didn't say this out loud, but like, Gee, what great
timing. I just happened to be up here
while you're offering tickets. What?
You're. Offering.
I bought one of those. Thank you very much.
(32:36):
But I'm walking by him and I casually say, am I OK to park
here behind this car you're ticketing?
And he says no, you can't. And we both look up at the same
time and there is a no parking sign right there.
But it's behind a whole bunch oftree branches.
It's come almost entirely covered.
(32:56):
Oh boy. Right.
And I thought, Oh well, no wonder.
Then we're ha ha ha. OK.
And he says, well that wasn't like that yesterday.
And I said, well let me help youremove the branches.
Oh God, and. Him and I.
You're overcompensating. It's too much.
We've removed the branches together.
No. And then I got in my car and got
(33:18):
the. Hell, I don't blame.
You without a ticket? Wow.
No, take it. And did you find a close by
spot? Oh, it was a real pain in the
ass to find us out, but I did a proper spot, I found one, and
that was all fine. So that's why the question is,
did he see right through me? I think he didn't, but you.
Really overcompensated. Oh yeah.
(33:41):
Do you think he knew that? I knew there was definitely a no
parking sign there and I just parked there anyway.
Did you? Because you told us that you
didn't know. Well, apparently my ACT is
pretty good. Yeah, I believed you.
I believed you. He saw.
He saw right you. He saw right through you.
(34:04):
Right through you. He maybe he did see through you
and he thought you put the branches there.
That's why I offered to remove them, because when he says these
weren't here yesterday, he probably thought.
I was the one he saw through you, pretty much.
OK. They were here yesterday.
(34:43):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's a podcast. It's Dave, Rachel and Foreman,
and it's been brought to you by and thank you.
Shout out to Sparkle Princess parties.
Look them up. Facebook, Instagram, Instagram.
Yep. Abigail does everything.

She'll come and and do children's entertainment, you
(35:04):
know, so she can bring the partyto you.
Crafts, activities, whatever. Love it, love it, love it, love
it. And if you would like to sponsor
this fine podcast, you can, you can go to do to
wonderunderwhelming.ca and you'll find out how easy it is
to sponsor the podcast, even though, even though the podcast
is going to take a little summerbreak.
(35:26):
Oh, it's like a month and a half, yeah.
Yeah, we will. We promise.
Back in September. We will return and we will be.
Hopefully with sponsors. Yeah, begging for sponsors once
again. So if we.
Should call some people and maybe solicit ourselves.
Or someone you know, what's the sponsor?
This fine podcast yeah, underwhelming.ca get a hold of
us, Dave rachelforeman@gmail.comYou can get a hold of us
(35:48):
anywhere on social media. And this is the portion in the
podcast where people who have gotten a hold of us, we, we, we
acknowledge and read their conversations with us.
That's what we love. We like to, that's one of the
things you miss about doing whenyou do a podcast that you, you
don't necessarily in radio, you get sort of instant feedback 99%
(36:14):
of the time. It's not great, but it is nice
to get that instant feedback. This is our feedback.
So we appreciate you writing, commenting, whatever it is that
you do, We appreciate it. We love to hear.
Even when we see each other in person, that's a nice rare treat
because then if anyone wanted toget as a birthday gift, even
belated, then those can be delivered brand new shades from
(36:38):
John and Jan Thank you John and Jan you're.
Welcome. You're welcome.
Via Dave, Right? Yes, they must have.
I mean, they're green plastic Moose head lager sunglasses.
You, my love. Because you kept drinking moose
heads. I still do.
Yes. These must have come from a case
of beer and I didn't have them, so I.
Don't know where they came from.They they were given to me to
(36:59):
give to you and you're a lucky man for getting.
I sure am. Thank you.
Now you can wear those to the beach and view your parking
spots better. OK, we have a message from
Janice. Janice sent a message through
our website. So if you go to
underwhelming.ca, you can send amessage there.
You can send a voice note there too.
So just there's a microphone in the bottom corner and you can
(37:22):
just click on that. It'll record and send.
She says. Janice, morning all.
I worked in the restaurant industry my whole work life and
in places that did take reservations, the no show rate
was very small. We talked about reservations
last year. I think, OK, she would say.
I would say that it was about 50% would call to cancel if if
(37:43):
they were cancelling. I guess I won't speculate as to
why people don't care anymore. I personally don't feel the need
to make a reservation, but my other family members insist.
Rachel, if you're not making a reservation and you don't want
to wait to try for an earlier dinner time, yes, Then I'm
getting old though, I think. Janice.
Dave, I was not not impressed when you called the weather
related headaches or illness hooey.
(38:05):
I do think that's who. If you know anyone that suffers
from migraines, they may or may not be a victim of weather
issues. I There you go.
I I just, I, I'm You can blame the weather if you want, that's
fine. Arthritis too.
You know you can feel it in yourknees, right?
I. I have arthritis and I I don't.
Feel it in your joints, fingers.No, I don't feel, I don't feel
(38:29):
any weather coming there's. Don't feel the weather coming?
Yeah, I don't get off and go OK,wow, my hip hurts today.
I'll bet it snows. I just don't have that.
OK, yeah, Howard also sent us a message through our website, he
says. Hey guys, as always, it's a
pleasure listening to your podcast weekly.
I just wanted to follow up on your last podcast about
(38:52):
watermelon juice. Yes, they do sell it in stores.
And yes, my youngest kid loves it.
There's two different types. Tropicana is not as good as the
Simply brand. How about that?
There you go, watermelon. Actually, there's a third kind,
because Angie sent us a message and a picture of Minute Maid
watermelon juice. Oh.
Interesting. Made with real fruit and Dave No
(39:16):
Frills in Glencoe sells it. It's gross but they have it.
Water. OK, I don't.
Know Watermelon's good? You know what I had a Just eat
a. Watermelon though, yeah.
Or juice it yourself I guess. A watermelon IPA the other day
for him and that was quite delightful.
Actually, yeah, Ashley and I were just reminiscing about the
(39:37):
9 locks Watermelon Blonde in Halifax was.
It's Tastes Like Summer. I Can't Believe We Don't Have
it. Beer.
Was pretty good. I'm not a huge watermelon
person, but I actually didn't mind it.
I I thought I wouldn't like it, but I actually.
Liked it. It's the water.
It's the perfect combination. Now that same company in Alvax
(39:59):
that made watermelon blonde cameout with a strawberry blonde.
Couldn't even give it away. It was terrible, really.
So there's some I think you justcan't do strawberries.
In your work and. Certain.
Yeah, Yeah. There's another comment for Dave
from Lil Gray 1970 on YouTube. All right.
(40:19):
Yeah, for Dave, how is making restaurant reservations any
different from booking a tea time it?
Isn't and they they do a lot of places will take your credit
card when you book a tea time soit's no different.
I get it. You have to have a tea time
where you can't play golf you. So if you're no show, they'll
(40:40):
charge. The the difference is there are
very few golf courses anymore that don't take tea times.
There used to be a thing where you would go and put your ball
in a slot and then you were, youwaited until it was your turn
and stuff like that. They just don't do that anymore.
(41:02):
They they have websites that where you book your tee times.
And so you are correct, you haveto have a tee time now, but you
don't always need a reservation for a restaurant penalty.
I I don't find you needed you. Can you don't?
Either you can. Well, I can.
I can still go to a restaurant, hang out at the bar and find
(41:23):
something to do. From Lizette Holman OK in the
states. This is about the good idea, bad
idea. Stand alone Costco 40 pumps.
You have 40 pumps. Yeah, well, Lizette says in the
States, there's a travel Plaza called Bucky's.
Yeah. 80 to 120 gas. I've heard that.
(41:44):
I've heard that, yeah. How many people are gassing up
at one time? Yeah.
Well, it's a travel Plaza. She's but, but Bucky's is even
more than that. It's a huge store.
They've got the like. It's very It's not Costco.
I've heard of it, but I don't think I've ever gone to a
Bucky's, no. I have a friend who went to a
Bucky's. He says you, you, you have to
(42:04):
go. Right you.
Have to go. It's seeing is believing.
She says if you ever stop there to get gas, you have to go in
the store and try their brisket.There you go.
Oh geez, full meal. OK alright.
Truck stop dinners are usually pretty good.
Though, and you don't need a reservation ring. 120 pumps.
That's right. I posted something a while ago.
(42:26):
Oh, it was my I wrote a blog about what I miss about radio
and you can read it on underwhelming.ca and I shared it
on Facebook and John wrote a really nice message to us.
Now John, I have to tell you works in radio.
So we know John, but he says your show and now your podcast
is so easy to listen to. You don't hear anyone with an
(42:49):
ego trying to dominate and you aren't trying to make AU turn to
get it back to some cheesy prep service punchline.
The conversation goes where it goes and whoever has a funny
line ends the bit. It sounds natural and effortless
even though everyone is doing their part and not getting in
anyone's way. If anyone wants to know how a
show should sound, they should listen to you guys.
(43:12):
Oh wow. And I.
Thought that is so. That's very nice.
Kind and very thought out and inparticular.
Who's? John is married to Jill, who was
on our show and. Foreman and I worked with Jill
and you were to stop talking. Rachel, we're going to talk
about Jill. Just shut up.
We love Jill. Of course.
(43:34):
She married. She's done.
She dropped. Her pants she the minute she
walked in the door, she off cameher pants.
Yeah, wow. That was my favorite story from
Jill. I've never heard anybody I.
Was I was away that year? Yes.
You were good for Jill. You missed a lot, yeah.
No, Jill and John are some of the kindest people.
And and then Jill, Jill moved onfrom our radio station and she
(43:57):
went and worked at another one with her husband, with John
somewhere else. I don't know John, I don't think
I ever met John, but Jill is a sweetheart.
We we had a wonderful time working with her.
She. Absolutely.
Well, she is not like you at all, Rachel, in many, many ways.
Maybe that's good. The foreman and I actually
(44:19):
really enjoyed. Working.
Oh, absolutely. Thank you, John for that.
Those are those are really nice words.
Very nice. Appreciate that.
We do, yeah. And appreciate you, Melissa.
Melissa Kallenberg, we talked about a couple weeks ago because
she was in line getting lottery tickets and was there asking
about. And then she said, oh, yeah,
listen to the podcast. Listen to Foreman on Country 104
(44:42):
and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Melissa says that she's been in a lot of pain lately.
She needs to take her mind off things.
There's a lot of things going onin her life right now.
And she put on the latest podcast and enjoyed some laughs
and loved that shout out. I'm definitely an ambassador for
you guys and spread the word as much as I can.
(45:02):
I keep the people in the know asto where in the world is Foreman
now. So yeah.
Where in the world? Thank.
You in the world? It's Carmen San Diego.
Foreman. Foreman.
Foreman. No.
You don't remember that? I was just about to read a
comment from Mindset Jimpod thatsays love the energy between you
(45:23):
guys but I really went down a notch.
Well, I brought it. I was singing.
So here's here's one. Then here's one that will make
us all happy. OK, we're going to end on a
high. Yes, because I can't know about
how great we all are. For sure.
OK. From Debbie Debbie Gandon on
(45:45):
YouTube two months ago. Who's checking the YouTube
comments now? Yeah, not me all the way,
always. I am comment is 2 months.
Old. Yes.
Oh great, so at least we got to it before the mandated summer
break. Wonder Debbie doesn't comment
very often. Sorry, Debbie.
(46:06):
Wow. OK, Debbie says.
I am watching you guys on YouTube for the first time ever
and discovered that you have more content on YouTube than on
Spotify. I started listening to this
episode in my car on Spotify butdidn't finish it.
I thought I would check out YouTube while I'm doing dishes
and just started the episode. Back in the beginning you guys
(46:27):
talked about things on YouTube that you didn't on Spotify
there. You go.
I had. No idea, now I feel like I need
to watch you on YouTube instead of listening on Spotify.
Although I usually listen in my car to pass the time, especially
when I have a long drive so I will miss that right?
No, you should still listen to both because Rachel edits
YouTube and I edit Spotify. Yes.
(46:49):
You do It is more concise or do I offer more content?
I mean tomato. Tomato Foreman.
For those who have not been watching us on YouTube, you have
all summer to catch up. I don't know if that's a good
idea.
I need to replace my battery, sorry.
What battery? For my headphones I can tell
'cause you you starting to get all scratchy and so.
Hang on. Oh, OK, sounds fine on my end.
I just. Have to replace it, sorry,
otherwise I can't hear. You I was wondering why I was
getting the word in edgewise that's.
(00:22):
Me. Yeah, I.
Welcome to Judo Underwhelming Demand, the podcast that will
make you almost as uncomfortableas swamp ass.
Yes. And that's almost.
Almost. Not quite, yeah, but close.
That's our goal. It's pretty gross in there.
(00:45):
In there actually. Found out there's such a.
Finger pants in the in the swamp.
Watch now and I didn't. I wasn't aware of swamp watch.
Swamp Watch is even worse. I think it's all fun.
I think it's. The front and the back.
Yeah, of course it's even. We're all over.
Anyway. Yeah, and you know what happened
(01:06):
to me this week? During small fast season, I
don't want to know. Our air conditioner broke.
Oh no. We need a whole new unit, so
that's super. Fat.
No, not. They're supposed to come in the
next two days, so we'll see. Ouch.
Well, keep your distance. All right?
We we are Dave, Rachel and Foreman coming up.
(01:29):
Foreman wonders. Did he did he see right through
me? Dave can run, but he can't hide.
And is Rachel, too just a littletoo obsessive?
I thought you were going to say crazy, but you know, either or.
That was close there's. Implications.
There are, I think, I think anyway, this fine, high quality
(01:51):
podcast is brought to you by Sparkle Princess Parties.
Abigail is the owner and operator of Sparkle Princess
parties. She will come to your party,
your event, your fun fair, your whatever you're having.
She does face painting, she doesglitter tattoos, she does hair
tinsel. She'll do themed crafts or

(02:11):
know a Princess party, maybe even superhero party, maybe you
have a pool party. She can paint anything on your
face or your arms or whatever. You check her out on Facebook or
Instagram. You can see some of the work
that she does and her face painting is like, it's so good,
I would never be able to do it. Even if your own business is
having some kind of event. We missed her.
(02:32):
She was set up at Misty Glenn Creamery outside Belmont.
Back in June. Hey, nice.
Yeah, that's awesome. Have her come if she's, if you
want to, you know, an activity for the kids, she could bring a
themed activity or craft or something like that for them to
do in addition to all the other stuff that she brings.
So Sparkle Princess parties. You can look her up on Facebook
or on Instagram. We'll put her e-mail and her
(02:54):
phone number in the show notes. You can see them there and check
her out if you're having a fun summer time or fall or winter
party, anything. Yeah, please.
Support her. She's supporting us, so please
support her. Yeah, she's in the.
Woodstock area, so she'll go around the around the region
should. I she's a full children's
entertainer. Like it's not just she shows up
in paints and that's it. Like it's the whole party.
(03:14):
She knows is what she's putting on for you.
Pretty awesome. You don't have to do it.
Yes, which is what every parent wants.
We talked about that last time. That's what you need.
Who's segueing from that? It's me segueing.
That thus the silence. I'm going to cut it out when I
(03:35):
do mine. I might extend it in the audio
version. Even more in there that yeah, OK
with. The music.
Oh my God, now I'm giving you ideas.
All right. Well, what I, what I need as a,
as a, as a parent to sparkle Princess parties, what I don't
need as a fully grown adult is OCD, because that has overcome
(03:55):
me lately. And I've always been a little
bit OC. There's always things that I do
that are a little bit OCD. And I don't say that lightly
because I do have a little bit of that.
But do you do anything? And you don't even have to be as
as as extreme as I am maybe. But do you do anything that even
annoys your own self? Things that you check
(04:16):
incessantly or have to do a certain way every single time or
whatever? Because every night before I go
to bed and this drives me nuts, I have to check the stove and
make sure it's off. Probably 25 times I will stand
there for a full 5 to 10 minutesand make sure all the burners
(04:37):
are off. But after the first time, why
would you go back? And I have to, I don't want to
make oh, got to make sure it's, I really have to make sure it's
off. And now it's a gas stove.
And so it's been left on or partially on before.
And gas is going into the house,right?
Like CO2 could go in the house. Now we have alarms so that yeah.
But you know, you never know. So I got a check a million times
(04:58):
before I go to bed and I will stand there and turn them all
and make I turn them to make sure they're off and they're,
and then I kind of go over them and then I look at the lines and
I made sure they're all lined upto the off position.
And then I will say to myself every night, this annoys me to
no end, like wow, to no end. I try to like even shorten it up
(05:19):
a little bit sometimes because I, I will say out loud to
myself, OK, they're all off. Go to bed.
You've checked it. You've checked it so many times.
Rachel, go to bed. Does anyone else do anything
like that? There's got to be something that
we all do. Because when you talk about
obsessive compulsive and it is adisorder and it's not
(05:39):
necessarily funny, but it, it can, I think, show itself in
funny ways. I think so too.
So when when we talk about obsessive compulsive disorder,
we sort of think it's funny onlybecause people do obsessive.
Because it's so silly to your toto yourself.
Maybe, well, it's silly to the rest of us, maybe, but not silly
(06:04):
to the person doing it. But I'm wondering if you're more
just. That's just anxiety.
Well, probably I don't want to. I don't want the house to fill
with gas, right, Right. So that's I.
Think they go hand hand in glovebut. 20.
Five times a night and you're saying, Oh my God.
I would yeah, it's it did not. And then I go upstairs and I say
to Jeremy, God, I annoy myself. Like why do I do that?
(06:25):
Why can't I just stop? So I sometimes I'll say to him,
I'm going upstairs first you have to check everything.
And so if I know he's. Checking it trust.
Him. No, I trust him.
I'm like, good, he's checking itand then I will just go.
So I'm like off the hook. So.
But I have to put the dog to bedbecause the dog, as you know,
hates Jeremy still. That has not changed.
(06:46):
So I have to put her in her crate and she goes in her crate
because otherwise she's tick, tick, tick, tick, tick all night
long around the house and we can't have that so.
So I have to wait for her and I'm like, put her to bed.
She won't go in there when he's downstairs anyway.
It's the whole thing. Yeah.
Speaking of anxiety, the dog, I mean come.
On I mean because like the worstthe dog has it.
My worst offence is probably checking keys.
(07:08):
Like if I'm in the car, I'm parking somewhere, I'm getting
out. I know my keys are in my pocket.
I feel if my keys are in my pocket, am I locking the car by
the button on the door then OK, did I do that?
Are the keys still in my pocket?The doors locked, keys are in my
pocket now I can actually leave the car but can I close the door
(07:29):
yet to where are my keys? They're in my pocket.
Yeah, now I can. Safely close the door.
I know. Unless I don't have keys and
show up to mini golf and then just fuck the whole family.
But yeah, you. Don't you don't even have.
Listen, I lost my keys and I andI remember the day I was at an
amusement park and we're on rides.
And I kept. Checking for Mike, I kept.
Checking for them I kept. I remember.
(07:50):
Checking for Mike because I'm onrides, I'm going upside down,
I'm doing all this stuff and kept checking for them.
And then I think what happened was while checking for my keys,
I pulled my hand out of my pocket and knocked the keys out
of my like. I.
Literally not. That's how I did it.
So you got to, you know, these are the things you're a little
(08:13):
obsessive, compulsive things. Yes.
And then I and then I check it and then I'm like, well, did I
knock one the wrong way? Did I knock one of the burner
knobs the wrong way? Is that going to be even though
it has to push and turn? It on yeah.
Like what? I used to be obsessive, but
really not, not nearly as bad when we were doing morning radio
and I would check the alarm clock like 10 times before bed.
(08:37):
Is it on? Is it set?
OK, it's on. Is it on AM?
Not PM. It's at the right time.
Is it? It's on.
They're both both. Because I it had a dual alarm.
They're both set. OK.
Yeah, they're both AM Yep. Check it again.
Make sure they're on because I didn't want to wake up late.
Miss the show? And I have and I've done that.
Check it so many times. I have, and I you wake up near
the time you should anyway and realize why didn't the alarm go
(09:00):
off? Exactly.
I'm awake. It didn't go off.
You look at it. It's set for 3:00 AM the next
day already. Where was it today?
Yeah. Holy crap.
Thank goodness I woke up. Because I would set my alarm
like I had an actual alarm clockand I would just set my phone so
I'd have like 4 alarms going off.
Jeremy. Just because oh, he hated that,
(09:21):
hated it, but he got used to it.I.
Never worried about my and I I got up for, you know, 30 plus
years at you know, 3 AMI never checked my I never never checked
it. Never.
Well, who said it? Well, not me, I don't think.
I never checked for 30 years. You said it.
For some while. I never checked it, I didn't
(09:43):
even have any. Set your own alarm I.
Wasn't married at. I wasn't always married to Jana
at. That time for a free period.
But she turned it on. It's always set.
It has to be on, right? The times are always there.
It needs, yeah. On mine's always set, but I
would turn it off in the morningand then I'd have to turn it
(10:03):
back. On I don't know why I never
really that stuff never worked me, I never did.
Dave here just live at his very best life.
Oh, because I'm not. Here in the world.
It must be nice. It must be.
Nice. Yes, and I don't know about you,
Rachel. I'm picturing the old timey
alarm clock with like, the flapsfor numbers beside Dave's bed.
No, I didn't. Have that I didn't have that I
(10:25):
was. Recently at a school I.
Couldn't even see the alarm thatwould go off.
I couldn't. I remember I got a different
alarm clock just so I could see the time because I couldn't see
the time on the actual alarm clock.
And you did just set to your alarm clock the one that the
extra one that you bought. Set.
I don't know, I just wanted an alarm clock close to me that I
(10:49):
could. See.
Right, so I knew the time. Well, to be taken care of like
that, you don't even have to setyour own alarm.
Yeah, it. Just needs to be turned on.
OK, I set it. Yeah.
Someone turns it on. It's either turned on on Sunday
night or it's turned off on Friday night.
Right, right. Your slippers laid out for you
and you're no doesn't have to dowith anything.
(11:11):
It must be nice. It must be nice.
He did more thing. To do with anything you guys are
you don't even understand. It needs to be, I see.
That my topic has gone to the wrong audience so.
I worry. I don't really worry.
I'm obsessive compulsive and I know I am to the point where I
(11:32):
recognize I'm doing it and I really don't care.
No, I don't care. I I do it because it makes me
feel better. OK.
Like for instance we have two lights in the bedroom and when 1
is switched up the other one is usually down.
Does that make sense? Yeah.
(11:53):
So, OK. So it turns on and on the same
light. Yes, when you turn a light on,
you push up. That's how I like to turn a
light on. I don't want to push down right.
I want to push been left in thatposition exactly then whatever
and I hate that Oh so. I.
Like the rub? Here's the rub if you have to go
back. To the other side.
(12:14):
If the little if the lights are on and the main light when I
walk into the bedroom is in the down position, well, I can't
turn them off from there. I have to go to the other light
and turn them off so they're right.
So every other time you have to switch which switch you're
using. And I know exactly what I'm
doing, and I know exactly how OCD that is, yes, but I don't
(12:37):
care. I do not.
Care. I think everybody has something.
I do not care and we have 2 coffee mugs.
We have a red one and a yellow one.
OK, These are really nice mugs. We we used to have two Reds, 2
yellows and two greens. But we've we've broken every
smash to now we're down to a redand a yellow.
(12:59):
OK, I like the red 1 the best. OK, it was my favorite.
I like the red 1 the best. Please take note Dave's family
I. Wash those cops, they can't go
in the dishwasher. They're not allowed to go.
They it says right on them, not dishwasher safe.
I wash them every day and I decide who gets the red mug you
(13:21):
can see and I and I try very hard to be fair.
I want the red mug and I'm goingto let Jana have it tomorrow.
Does Jana care which color she. Don't think so.
So. Just give her.
That's very nice to. Know, but I can't.
I can't. I can't.
Because you want to be fair, I have to.
(13:43):
Be here, right? I can't.
I like that. I like that.
That's very nice of you, I know.But you don't need to put that
on Jana because I don't think she cares which color she's.
The first one up and I know yeah, she's going to be up
before me. So if the red mugs under the
coffee maker ready to go, she gets it.
That's a sacrifice for me because I want it.
(14:04):
Right. And she couldn't give to.
She Have you ever expressed thisto her?
And I'm not going to, and I hopeshe doesn't hear this.
I hope she does. I don't want her to.
Hear that? You get the red cup every single
time from. Fridays on Fridays when I clean
them because Saturday's a sleep in day, I'm like, what do I do?
Do I put the red one first? That means I got to get up
(14:26):
early. Who's going to get that's right.
Well, why don't you? If you get up early you just put
you switch them. That's OCD.
Yeah, that's very. That's a lot of thinking for a
mug. Color.
Way too much thinking, right? Can I see your light switch
situation and add you my house in the kitchen light?
(14:47):
Two switches in either end of the kitchen.
It didn't use the dim and I wanted it to dim so I changed
one of them out to a dimmer. Yes, now that one switch,
because I did it wrong, will only turn on or off if the other
switch is in one specific position.
That would drive V crazy. I couldn't handle it.
(15:08):
It's. Flipped the other way, you
couldn't turn it on or. If David comes to your house, I
wouldn't know what to never tellI.
Would never go into the room. I wouldn't even go into the
room, dude. It's like I wouldn't go into the
room. I tell you what, I wouldn't go.
I wouldn't go into the room in the dark and I'd be I, I, I
wouldn't want to be the last oneout of the room that had to turn
the lights off. Could you imagine if that was
your kitchen? You wouldn't find your red mug.
No, no. What would I?
(15:29):
Do you'd be fucked. I'm screwed.
They'd both be smashed. This is due to underwhelming
(15:53):
demand. The Hawaiian shirt of podcasts.
I don't think. I don't think I need to say
anything more. I mean.
It's a little bit tacky, but always in style.
Yes, usually paired with cargo shorts.
New Balance shoes. That's right, compression.
Socks never cool, but almost so uncool that it's cool almost but
(16:15):
never quite there. That's right.
We are Dave, Rachel and Foreman and just want to let you know we
have a, a website underwhelming.ca.
You can go there and you can buyall kinds of things that will
entertain yourself. But we also want to let you know
that this will be our last show of of the summer.
(16:37):
Yes, we're going to, we're goingto, we're going to make like a
teacher and take the summer off.Right.
Yes, but here we are for one last episode until September.
I'm almost set to September. Maybe never we'll.
Be back in September. We're just going to take a
little time. This is a great time to catch up
on old episodes. Check out our our our website
(17:00):
yeahunderwhelming.ca. Yeah, you only.
Ever listened and check out someYoutubes?
If you only ever watch on YouTube, check out some of the
audio versions. Yeah.
And tell and by the way, I'm I'mbeing told it's more fun to
watch us on YouTube. Friends of mine have said it's
hilarious watching you guys. I don't know why I don't get it.
(17:20):
I don't think it's that hilarious, but whatever.
Check it out you if you're. There we are, and there we'll
stay. We're there, OK.
On YouTube. So, and with that in mind, the
podcast taking a little break, Iwould like to talk about the
fact that I used to be able to do the radio show and the
(17:43):
podcast without ever hearing from my daughter.
And if you don't, if you know anything about.
He's 18 now. He's 18.
She'll be 19 soon. If you know anything about the
old radio show we used to do andcertainly what we do here on the
(18:04):
podcast, a lot of it involves the people that we're close to,
the people in the family. We talk about our spouses, we
talk about our kids. You guys talk about your kids.
Guaranteed. They don't hear this.
Guaranteed. No guaranteed.
No. Mom does, though.
(18:24):
Mom does. Jeremy doesn't.
My sister said today she's visiting and she said she
talking to somebody else and said something like, oh, you
should get a few podcasts to listen to.
And I said I've got a couple of podcasts for you.
And she said no, I don't listen to your podcasts.
And Jeremy said neither do I. I get your podcast all day.
(18:48):
Like no. You.
Don't. I don't.
Gianna has occasionally checked in, usually because something
gets posted on social media and maybe it involves her and she
wants to know more. What did he?
Say this time. Yeah, we specifically, I
remember saying to her, you don't mind if I talk about it.
(19:10):
Like just just so you know, you know, we're, you know, we talk
about you guys on on the air. And she was always OK with that.
I think of all three spouses, Jana is would care the least
that you talk about her. Yeah, she was always pretty good
about that. And I know that you had talked
to Jeremy and Jeremy was like, ah, he rolls his eyes and go,
yeah, I'm doing it. And the same with with Ashley,
(19:32):
right? Depends on the topic.
Yeah, exactly. But it is a conversation we have
have had to have with our family, our spouses, but
absolutely other family members and some people have said don't
talk about, don't me or don't mention this about me or that.
Specific thing that happened. Or whatever.
Yeah, and that's fine. I found myself.
And I respect that. In a in a situation where I'll,
(19:54):
I'll say to someone, you know, like with the dead cat in the
freezer, right? Can I talk about that?
I didn't. Update on that by the way.
Yeah. Oh, the cat's been they.
They moved it. Well, I will tell you because I
got a text about it. The cat's out, that's out of the
bag. They, they were putting in a new
deck at their house and so the old deck had to come out and
(20:18):
that and that left the spot for a cat, right.
The old deck's been removed before the.
New deck under the deck. Like post holes or something.
You might have mice under that deck then.
Anyway, you might get some other.
Caters. All I know is the cat set.
Up a freeze like a nice hair like breed in a hole.
Yeah. Are you?
Sure, the cat. 'S gone and he made.
(20:39):
OK, yes, that was the freezer. I've been told it's gone.
Sure. That the cat's gone.
Good. So there's your update.
Great. I did ask about that.
And I, you know, from time to time you have to go.
Well, you know, when Even with your wife.
Do you mind if I talk about that?
Right. Most 99% of the time, Janet
doesn't care. Now, when it comes to my
daughter, I don't really worry about it because she's never
(21:00):
paid particular attention to anything that I've ever done.
She doesn't seem to really care.No.
You know, she knew that I was onthe radio when she was younger.
I think it was kind of fun. I would take her to things and
you know, she got into stuff andbut she never really listened to
her dad on the radio. There wasn't really an
opportunity. She could, but she didn't.
(21:20):
It just wasn't something something.
And then occasionally maybe a teacher would say, oh, is that
your dad that's on the road? I heard him talking about you.
And she'd say, did you talk about me today, You know?
Maybe. Probably.
Yeah, I don't think so, because when we were on the radio and I
(21:41):
know we did a podcast and Foreman was responsible for
that, we Foreman created a podcast for for us way before
anybody else was doing podcasts.So a shout out to Foreman
because he was out of his time. It was like this either 30-40
minutes of here's the highlightsif you want to call them the
show morning of the show. Right.
And so you would have to, but wewould do like that's five.
(22:04):
We were doing 5 shows a week, that's five podcast.
It would take a long if she was searching for something about
her, she would had it terrible time finding it.
But now we're doing. 6A week there's a weekend best of 6 a
week. Well, now we're doing one
podcast a week and specific on on.
Usually the podcast will tell you what we're talking about,
(22:26):
including a couple of weeks ago when she wanted to cut the
grass. Yes, right.
Well, I can run, but I can't hide on the weekend and we we
had a little gecko. Ask her about that.
Yes, we had to get together. We got.
Together just before Canada. It was nice, was nice to see
everybody in. Person and Jeremy and Ashley and
(22:48):
Janet. And Charlotte, Charlotte came
along. She wasn't busy.
She was always said, well, you can come with us.
OK, so she go. So the very next day, so that
was Canada Day eve. So Canada Day I was out doing I
think weed whacking, which is truly a what you should be doing
on Canada Day, because I don't Ithink weed whacking is a
Canadian term. Sure.
(23:09):
Anyway, so I'm weed whacking, I'm coming to the house, had my
headphones. And.
She's and she's up. It's, you know, 11:30.
Oh, look, you're up. You know, I've been, I've been
up for five hours and she says pull your headphones.
I so I pull my headphones out and she goes, I was I listened
to your podcast last night. I said why?
(23:32):
Why? Because my friends told me that
you were talking about me. I'm like.
I'm sorry her friends listened to this podcast.
I know, what the hell. Just to get any tidbits about
their friend Charlotte. That's.
Not supposed to happen. Right.
Anyway, good news, when I told the story of her cutting the
grass, I was, I think, fairly truthful.
(23:56):
And she actually said that. Yeah, I, I thought maybe you
would, you know, the TikTok thing.
I wasn't doing it for TikTok. Dad, I'm like, I know, but it
sounds funny. Yeah.
I was just trying to be funny. And she I.
Was going to ask her about that so now.
OK, now I'm getting my answer. You are getting your answer
because her thing was she just wanted something she could throw
(24:17):
her headphones in and zone out and and.
An activity. An activity.
That's what she wanted. And I said that I actually, that
was what I said, and she was actually pleased.
Oh, did you talk about it? Yeah, and then she started
asking me about my friend that Igolf with the.
(24:37):
Lady. Yes.
Oh, then she started asking me. Well, I don't know, like she
goes, where do you get your headlines?
I'm like OK. She's getting to know dad on a
whole new level. I don't think I like this.
I mean. We don't even question Dave that
much. No, nobody does.
Just leave Dave alone. I go into this room once a week
(25:02):
and talk to you guys, but I don't want anybody else knowing
about it. Right.
Something that's out there, Yeah.
And it's so easy to find now, yeah.
It is very easy to find, it's all over social media.
She didn't ask you where Rachel buys all her toys.
No, she actually, she actually did bring that up, Rachel.
(25:24):
Did she? What'd she say?
We'll talk about it later, OK? I know.
Thoughts. Yeah.
Speaking of, we're not recording.
Yet probably. The next time we meet.
I can send her the way of a special party.
Sparkle Princess parties after dark.
(25:45):
That's right. This is due to underwhelming
demand with Dave, Rachel and Foreman, the podcast.
That's like forgetting to use deodorant on a hot July day.
(26:08):
Oh. A bit stinky.
A bit. Well, you know, depends on what
kind of deodorant. Like maybe you have long lasting
deodorant maybe. What you need is antiperspirant.
True. And yeah, you're just just
saying. What you need is to park your
car where you're allowed to parkyour car.
(26:31):
What's that mean? Norman just keeps it going.
You see that Norman just drives,no stops.
There was there. Was no gap, no nothing.
We just get in the car and go, yeah, well done for.
Me and then we stop where we're pretty sure we're allowed to
(26:52):
park, but there are a lot of no parking signs around except
right at this spot where my car is.
So that's got to be fine, right?And this is this is the did he
see right through me? Maybe you can rate my
performance. OK I'm not sure which angle we
wanna take here. OK.
OK, Will you tell the story and we'll let you know the angle?
(27:14):
Yeah, 'cause this is the story of the Foreman family going off
to the beach on Canada Day. Ohh.
Oh, that's very. Busy beach for Canada Day?
Why not? Yes, but we went to a beach
that, well we wanted to go to 1 we've never been to before and
it was Ipper wash. Oh OK.
Which is massive. It's a nice wide beach, yeah.
It's a beautiful beach. You could have 5.
(27:35):
Times the man of people there. Then they're in Port Stanley and
you never know because it's justkeeps going.
Yes, it's yeah. Yeah, which turned out to be the
case, which so there's plenty ofpeople there, but it was still
you got lots of space spread out.
Clever. OK, lovely.
Great beach on late, for those who don't know, on Lake Huron,
just South of Grand Bend, right.Yeah.
(27:56):
So you got and it's nice and shallow.
It goes out. The water is clear.
You can. Yeah.
Yeah, it's a really nice beach. I'm surprised it's not well, I
mean it was popular lap day, butyou think Grand Bend Port
Stanley? But it per wash is really nice.
It's very nice. No lifeguards though, so that
might be part of it like it could be.
OK. But it's, I mean, it's
(28:17):
maintained and whatever obviously.
And yeah, it was lovely, but busy.
So there are certain designated parking lots and I went to one I
found in some sort of Google mapreview comment of like if it's
really busy go park down here. Because are you looking let's
(28:39):
before we get to specific or anything you looking for
somewhere where you do not have to pay.
Well, yeah. And it well, I don't think any
of the lots there you don't haveto pay.
OK. Ideally, that's what you're.
Looking and even if you I mean I'm learning from my downtown
parking experience that even if it says you have to pay.
You don't necessarily have to pay.
(29:00):
Who cares, right? Who's Manning to pay?
A parking ticket every now and then, it just, it offsets the
free parking that you're gettingevery day at work.
You're not going to pay a parking ticket unless it's a
city thing, so you don't. Like not paying for.
Municipality thing you're not getting any parking ticket you
get that doesn't have the municipality on it.
Normans right? Just throw it away.
(29:22):
Yeah, if it's a private law, if it's in.
Park That's true, guys. If it didn't park, come get my
30 bucks. Come get it.
Take it. Or OK, don't take that advice.
Absolutely take that advice to the.
Podcast is not good at giving parking advice.
You are in a private lot and they put one of those parking
(29:43):
things on your windshield. Just drive out.
They might tow your. Car.
Don't. They might tow you.
How will they? Tow you if you're driving your
car away. They can't afford that.
They're going to tow the car while you're at the beach.
If they're going to tow your car, they've already towed it.
If you have a ticket on it and they didn't tow it, drive away.
(30:06):
They're not. Towing, I see if there's a
ticket. You mean okay?
Yes, they're not going to pay for the towing in the 1st place
and hope. Please don't.
Take any of don't take any of this advice.
This is good. Concrete, hardcore advice this
is. Very good advice.
Yes. So I parked in.
It was a very small lot, and it was the whole, all the streets
(30:28):
are lined with no parking signs.So you can't park on a street or
whatever. You can't just shove your car
off somewhere. Yeah.
And in part of the line, there were several no parking signs on
part of the lot. And this was like you go down a
slope and you go right onto the beach.
If you want, you could technically, but there's no
parking signs down there. There's, I don't know what the
(30:48):
deal is with it for Wash, by theway, because it seems like
everyone who has a place there and, and some kind of boat also
owns like a 1940s Farmall tractor because it's the only
way to get your boat in and out of the water because it's so
shallow. Cause the tractors are up high
that they bat, they drive right into the lake with these
tractors and their boats behind them and then they get them on
(31:11):
and off. OK, so there's tractors
everywhere, which is hilarious. OK.
But we're not, we're, we parked up and and there was no parking
signs around, but we thought, well, I I think the spot's fine,
right? We're at the beach having a
lovely time. It was a great day.
The weather is great. The yeah, you know, nice calm,
all that. And then out where you can see
(31:31):
where cars are parked out onto the beach, there's a couple of
bylaw officers. Oh, oh, because this turns out
is not a private lot. It's a municipally owned lot.
You got to go pay that. You don't want that.
And I thought, well, great, they've already come by my car,
(31:51):
they're coming out, they're out to the water now.
They've already ticketed me first.
And Ashley thought, I bet you they're starting here and
working their way back. Grab your keys, grab a shirt,
grab some sandals. Get up there right?
See if we can avoid this thing. OK.
Turns out perfectly timed because as the one officer is
(32:14):
eyeing up ticketing the car thatwas parked in front of me.
Oh God. I was able to pipe up and say,
hey, and I didn't say this out loud, but like, Gee, what great
timing. I just happened to be up here
while you're offering tickets. What?
You're. Offering.
I bought one of those. Thank you very much.
(32:36):
But I'm walking by him and I casually say, am I OK to park
here behind this car you're ticketing?
And he says no, you can't. And we both look up at the same
time and there is a no parking sign right there.
But it's behind a whole bunch oftree branches.
It's come almost entirely covered.
(32:56):
Oh boy. Right.
And I thought, Oh well, no wonder.
Then we're ha ha ha. OK.
And he says, well that wasn't like that yesterday.
And I said, well let me help youremove the branches.
Oh God, and. Him and I.
You're overcompensating. It's too much.
We've removed the branches together.
No. And then I got in my car and got
(33:18):
the. Hell, I don't blame.
You without a ticket? Wow.
No, take it. And did you find a close by
spot? Oh, it was a real pain in the
ass to find us out, but I did a proper spot, I found one, and
that was all fine. So that's why the question is,
did he see right through me? I think he didn't, but you.
Really overcompensated. Oh yeah.
(33:41):
Do you think he knew that? I knew there was definitely a no
parking sign there and I just parked there anyway.
Did you? Because you told us that you
didn't know. Well, apparently my ACT is
pretty good. Yeah, I believed you.
I believed you. He saw.
He saw right you. He saw right through you.
(34:04):
Right through you. He maybe he did see through you
and he thought you put the branches there.
That's why I offered to remove them, because when he says these
weren't here yesterday, he probably thought.
I was the one he saw through you, pretty much.
OK. They were here yesterday.
(34:43):
This is due to underwhelming demand.

things you miss about doing whenyou do a podcast that you, you

(36:14):
of the time. It's not great, but it is nice
to get that instant feedback. This is our feedback.

Janice. Janice sent a message through
our website. So if you go to
underwhelming.ca, you can send amessage there.
You can send a voice note there too.
So just there's a microphone in the bottom corner and you can
(37:22):
just click on that. It'll record and send.
She says. Janice, morning all.
I worked in the restaurant industry my whole work life and
in places that did take reservations, the no show rate
was very small. We talked about reservations
last year. I think, OK, she would say.
I would say that it was about 50% would call to cancel if if
(37:43):
they were cancelling. I guess I won't speculate as to
why people don't care anymore. I personally don't feel the need
to make a reservation, but my other family members insist.
Rachel, if you're not making a reservation and you don't want
to wait to try for an earlier dinner time, yes, Then I'm
getting old though, I think. Janice.
Dave, I was not not impressed when you called the weather
related headaches or illness hooey.
(38:05):
I do think that's who. If you know anyone that suffers
from migraines, they may or may not be a victim of weather
issues. I There you go.
I I just, I, I'm You can blame the weather if you want, that's
fine. Arthritis too.
You know you can feel it in yourknees, right?
I. I have arthritis and I I don't.
Feel it in your joints, fingers.No, I don't feel, I don't feel
(38:29):
any weather coming there's. Don't feel the weather coming?
Yeah, I don't get off and go OK,wow, my hip hurts today.
I'll bet it snows. I just don't have that.
OK, yeah, Howard also sent us a message through our website, he
says. Hey guys, as always, it's a
pleasure listening to your podcast weekly.
I just wanted to follow up on your last podcast about
(38:52):
watermelon juice. Yes, they do sell it in stores.
And yes, my youngest kid loves it.
There's two different types. Tropicana is not as good as the
Simply brand. How about that?
There you go, watermelon. Actually, there's a third kind,
because Angie sent us a message and a picture of Minute Maid
watermelon juice. Oh.
Interesting. Made with real fruit and Dave No
(39:16):
Frills in Glencoe sells it. It's gross but they have it.
Water. OK, I don't.
Know Watermelon's good? You know what I had a Just eat
a. Watermelon though, yeah.
Or juice it yourself I guess. A watermelon IPA the other day
for him and that was quite delightful.
Actually, yeah, Ashley and I were just reminiscing about the
(39:37):
9 locks Watermelon Blonde in Halifax was.
It's Tastes Like Summer. I Can't Believe We Don't Have
it. Beer.
Was pretty good. I'm not a huge watermelon
person, but I actually didn't mind it.
I I thought I wouldn't like it, but I actually.
Liked it. It's the water.
It's the perfect combination. Now that same company in Alvax
(39:59):
that made watermelon blonde cameout with a strawberry blonde.
Couldn't even give it away. It was terrible, really.
So there's some I think you justcan't do strawberries.
In your work and. Certain.
Yeah, Yeah. There's another comment for Dave
from Lil Gray 1970 on YouTube. All right.
(40:19):
Yeah, for Dave, how is making restaurant reservations any
different from booking a tea time it?
Isn't and they they do a lot of places will take your credit
card when you book a tea time soit's no different.
I get it. You have to have a tea time
where you can't play golf you. So if you're no show, they'll
(40:40):
charge. The the difference is there are
very few golf courses anymore that don't take tea times.
There used to be a thing where you would go and put your ball
in a slot and then you were, youwaited until it was your turn
and stuff like that. They just don't do that anymore.
(41:02):
They they have websites that where you book your tee times.
And so you are correct, you haveto have a tee time now, but you
don't always need a reservation for a restaurant penalty.
I I don't find you needed you. Can you don't?
Either you can. Well, I can.
I can still go to a restaurant, hang out at the bar and find
(41:23):
something to do. From Lizette Holman OK in the
states. This is about the good idea, bad
idea. Stand alone Costco 40 pumps.
You have 40 pumps. Yeah, well, Lizette says in the
States, there's a travel Plaza called Bucky's.
Yeah. 80 to 120 gas. I've heard that.
(41:44):
I've heard that, yeah. How many people are gassing up
at one time? Yeah.
Well, it's a travel Plaza. She's but, but Bucky's is even
more than that. It's a huge store.
They've got the like. It's very It's not Costco.
I've heard of it, but I don't think I've ever gone to a
Bucky's, no. I have a friend who went to a
Bucky's. He says you, you, you have to
(42:04):
go. Right you.
Have to go. It's seeing is believing.
She says if you ever stop there to get gas, you have to go in
the store and try their brisket.There you go.
Oh geez, full meal. OK alright.
Truck stop dinners are usually pretty good.
Though, and you don't need a reservation ring. 120 pumps.
That's right. I posted something a while ago.
(42:26):
Oh, it was my I wrote a blog about what I miss about radio
and you can read it on underwhelming.ca and I shared it
on Facebook and John wrote a really nice message to us.
Now John, I have to tell you works in radio.
So we know John, but he says your show and now your podcast
is so easy to listen to. You don't hear anyone with an
(42:49):
ego trying to dominate and you aren't trying to make AU turn to
get it back to some cheesy prep service punchline.
The conversation goes where it goes and whoever has a funny
line ends the bit. It sounds natural and effortless
even though everyone is doing their part and not getting in
anyone's way. If anyone wants to know how a
show should sound, they should listen to you guys.
(43:12):
Oh wow. And I.
Thought that is so. That's very nice.
Kind and very thought out and inparticular.
Who's? John is married to Jill, who was
on our show and. Foreman and I worked with Jill
and you were to stop talking. Rachel, we're going to talk
about Jill. Just shut up.
We love Jill. Of course.
(43:34):
She married. She's done.
She dropped. Her pants she the minute she
walked in the door, she off cameher pants.
Yeah, wow. That was my favorite story from
Jill. I've never heard anybody I.
Was I was away that year? Yes.
You were good for Jill. You missed a lot, yeah.
No, Jill and John are some of the kindest people.
And and then Jill, Jill moved onfrom our radio station and she
(43:57):
went and worked at another one with her husband, with John
somewhere else. I don't know John, I don't think
I ever met John, but Jill is a sweetheart.
We we had a wonderful time working with her.
She. Absolutely.
Well, she is not like you at all, Rachel, in many, many ways.
Maybe that's good. The foreman and I actually
(44:19):
really enjoyed. Working.
Oh, absolutely. Thank you, John for that.
Those are those are really nice words.
Very nice. Appreciate that.
We do, yeah. And appreciate you, Melissa.
Melissa Kallenberg, we talked about a couple weeks ago because
she was in line getting lottery tickets and was there asking
about. And then she said, oh, yeah,
listen to the podcast. Listen to Foreman on Country 104
(44:42):
and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Melissa says that she's been in a lot of pain lately.
She needs to take her mind off things.
There's a lot of things going onin her life right now.
And she put on the latest podcast and enjoyed some laughs
and loved that shout out. I'm definitely an ambassador for
you guys and spread the word as much as I can.
(45:02):
I keep the people in the know asto where in the world is Foreman
now. So yeah.
Where in the world? Thank.
You in the world? It's Carmen San Diego.
Foreman. Foreman.
Foreman. No.
You don't remember that? I was just about to read a
comment from Mindset Jimpod thatsays love the energy between you
(45:23):
guys but I really went down a notch.
Well, I brought it. I was singing.
So here's here's one. Then here's one that will make
us all happy. OK, we're going to end on a
high. Yes, because I can't know about
how great we all are. For sure.
OK. From Debbie Debbie Gandon on
(45:45):
YouTube two months ago. Who's checking the YouTube
comments now? Yeah, not me all the way,
always. I am comment is 2 months.
Old. Yes.
Oh great, so at least we got to it before the mandated summer
break. Wonder Debbie doesn't comment
very often. Sorry, Debbie.
(46:06):
Wow. OK, Debbie says.
I am watching you guys on YouTube for the first time ever
and discovered that you have more content on YouTube than on
Spotify. I started listening to this
episode in my car on Spotify butdidn't finish it.
I thought I would check out YouTube while I'm doing dishes
and just started the episode. Back in the beginning you guys
(46:27):
talked about things on YouTube that you didn't on Spotify
there. You go.
I had. No idea, now I feel like I need
to watch you on YouTube instead of listening on Spotify.
Although I usually listen in my car to pass the time, especially
when I have a long drive so I will miss that right?
No, you should still listen to both because Rachel edits
YouTube and I edit Spotify. Yes.
(46:49):
You do It is more concise or do I offer more content?
I mean tomato. Tomato Foreman.
For those who have not been watching us on YouTube, you have
all summer to catch up. I don't know if that's a good
idea.
