(00:00):
Everybody talks about what a great movie Love Actually is
like. It's not even really a fun
movie. No.
Well the memes this time of yearare all happy.
I hate Alan Rickman season to all who celebrate.
Yeah, because he cheats on his wife with the secretary and he
gives his wife a Joni Mitchell CD.
For Christmas. Yes, yeah.
And he also is the bad guy in Die Hard.

(00:22):
My God. Yeah, and Harry Potter isn't.
He isn't. He isn't.
Well, no, you think he's the badguy the whole time?
Turns out he's been helping Harry the whole time.
Spoiler he's. Yeah, he's not a bad guy.
I actually haven't seen the movies.
Oh well, that really does spoil the whole season base.
This is the whole series for youreally pretend you didn't hear
that. Yes, that really I just guys

(00:43):
will not watch it now. OK, great.
There's no reason. To might as well not watch it
now. Here we go.
This is due to underwhelming demand.

(01:04):
It's us. It's Dave Rachel Forum, and this
is the podcast. That's like doing Black Friday
shopping and buying something for yourself.
Kind of dumb, but somewhat satisfying.
Is that a bad thing? That's what I'm just saying.
We're somewhat doing a lot of heavy lifting.
It is on our podcast today. I've got some headlines a little

(01:27):
later. Foreman in Is Foreman in Foreman
is wondering what Christmas movie is banned at your house?
Or should be. And Rachel, you have an update.
Hockey. Finally, that must mean you
actually went. I did actually go.

(01:48):
This was my first time. It was a week ago as of this
recording date, OK. And so we, I, I think I'd missed
the 1st 2:00. Well, I think we'd had three.
So I'd missed the first three. I couldn't go and well, the one
I I didn't go, as you know, because I didn't, you could.
Go but wouldn't go. Yeah, power skating.

(02:08):
Sure. Thank you.
OK. That's a.
That's a whole different thing. Yeah, So I let me tell you that
I was actually really dreading this.
I didn't want to go. I was kicking myself for signing
up again. I thought, why do I why am I
doing this? I don't, you know, it's 9:00 at
night. It's for an hour and a half.
The first like 30 minutes is skills, which is to me painful,

(02:30):
but we do it because I'm very bad.
I'm just so I mean, I need it. I I need it, but I don't, I just
anyway, when you're actually playing my feet don't, I don't
think about my feet, right. So that we do skills and then we
do a like a game between our twolittle teams.
And so, you know, my feet alwayshurt when I'm out there,
obviously. And when I'm doing skills,

(02:53):
there's, you know, I, I'm thinking about how much my feet
hurt because it's a little bit slower and whatever.
But when you're playing, you're not focused on your feet because
you're just trying to stay upright and, and see where the
pucks going. So I'm not as focused on being
in pain, so I prefer playing right.
The reason you wouldn't be focused on your feet is 'cause
you're into the game and you're playing and you're.

(03:15):
Into the game. Yes, you're focused on being
upright. Fine.
Am focused on being upright. I've only ever fallen one time,
knock on wood, and so that but but I'm not very fast, right?
Like I don't, I'm not fast. And so last year was our first
year. So everybody it was just one big

(03:35):
group split into two teams. This year they've done a little
differently where they have likea beginners group, which is us.
And then they have the girls who've actually played before,
you know, in high school or whatever, and they've have their
own like slightly more advanced group because those girls are
skating circles around me. Like I can't even like, which
was good when they were on your team because they were getting

(03:58):
all the goals right. Right.
Sure. You're you're you like them?
Yeah. I like them.
And you're a pylon. And I'm a pylon.
Exactly. That's exactly right.
You're and. You're on defense, I assume?
Well, it depended. It depends because actually this
this time I was on, I was on forward a lot and I had to do

(04:19):
the face off a lot like you werethe.
Center. That's I was the center.
The center. OK, Yeah.
OK, we don't really play. We just kind of go out, do our
little face off, and then everybody just kind of toddles
around wherever they feel like, like nobody's real.
So there you don't have a same position, not.
Really it's just kind of we go out and like, look around.
I was going to use this like, oh, is there five people on the

(04:41):
ice? Yeah, yeah.
OK. And then we all kind of look
around, OK, Everybody take a spot somewhere, you know, for
the face off. And then we toddle around and we
have a goalie. So this.
No, we don't actually have goalies.
And so that's a very good question, actually, Dave.
No, we don't have goalies. That's a really good question

(05:01):
because it would appear that it would be very, very easy to
score without goalies. Right.
So what we have is those board things that you put on the goal,
the board, I don't know what arethey called the tutor shooters
or something like that. It's like a board and it's got
like holes at the bottom and their sides and whatever so that
you can, it's like a goalie board.

(05:22):
It's I don't know. What they call it, OK, so you
have to like you have to slide the pocket into one of the
holes. Right.
So what what they have done is they put the boards on, which
covers the whole goal, the net. And then there's the thing at
the bottom. They lift up the bottom and they
put this bar underneath so that the pucks can easily slide

(05:43):
under. I see.
Yeah, so anyways, the big news this time is that I'm getting
more comfortable and I haven't actually lost a lot of steam
from last year, so I'm doing pretty well.
Like I'm thinking, OK, I feel like I've, you know, I didn't
take a break since April. Like I feel like I'm, I didn't
lose. I thought I was going to go back
out there and, and, you know, back at square one because I

(06:06):
haven't done anything. But no, I'm, I'm OK.
And now that we don't have thesesuper fast girls with us, I'm
touching the puck more. Also nice, right?
So there's a lot of scoring. So finally guys, your girl got a
goal. No.
Yes. Well, well, well, all right.

(06:28):
Please describe said goal. Was it a slap shot?
No, because that would make me fall over.
No. So I figured at one point I'm
like, you know what, everybody'sskating around the puck is kind
of behind the net, right? And I said, if I just sit here
in front of the net, somebody will pass me the puck and we'll

(06:51):
I'll get it right in. Like that's my my goal.
Like that's my aim, right? So lo and behold, Sarah passes
me the puck, and she was actually on fire with passing.
Sarah, by the way, got a hat trick at the during this game,
so she'd already gotten three goals.
So she's would you, would you say she's slightly better than

(07:11):
you? Yes, yes, slightly.
Yeah, All right. By a lot.
Well, cuz I'm trying to picture this.
You said sure, the the group you're with now, most of you are
not very good, but now all of a sudden.
Still the worst. All of a sudden we have Sarah
who who got a hat trick. And I'm like, OK, I received it.
I actually touched it. Like sometimes when people pass
me the puck, I completely miss it.

(07:32):
And then I. This is off your stick and there
it goes. Or my skate blade and I'm and I
can't turn that way. I have to turn around 360 the
other way to get to it, and by the time I do, somebody else has
swiped it from me. Boy, no.
I wish we could go and see this Foreman.
Yeah, I would just really like to see it so.
She passes me the puck, I actually get it.
And then I, I like, OK, here we go.

(07:54):
And I, I, and it just goes rightin.
And I thought, holy shit, that'samazing.
And I turned around and my face was like, and then my other
teammates right behind me and she's like, Oh my God.
And we hug and we're celebratingas my first ever and only goal.
Like I didn't even think I wouldget a goal ever.
That wasn't I didn't. I didn't even care.

(08:15):
That's awesome, you know, you know, we're, we're we're both
pleased and proud. And but the the, I guess the,
the next question, yeah, for me would be did you win the game?
I think we might have, but I can't remember what the score
was. No, nobody's doing the side like
nobody's doing the numbers. Did you get the winning goal?

(08:37):
No, I don't. No, I didn't.
No, because Sarah got a hat trick.
The girl that I hugged, she almost got a hat trick.
She lost two goals. My friend next door, Heather,
she got two goals. Like there was a lot of like
there's probably 9. Wait a minute.
Are you telling us at least? Are you telling us that
everybody on the ice got more goals than you did?

(08:57):
Sort of. Maybe.
How about the girls on the otherteam where there are a lot of
hat? Trick girls there and too, yeah.
A lot of scoring, I think, so nobody was keeping track.
I think people were, but I don'tso but actually.
Purpose of a game is the other. Team was scoring quite a bit and
we were like, oh, we're gonna lose.

(09:18):
And I was just like, what's the score anyway?
I don't know. And then I think we might have
won, but I can't remember. Anyway, it doesn't really
matter. Really shouldn't have told us
all that because it was impressive that you got a goal
in a game, but now we know that everybody on both teams got
multiple. Goals.
Except you you, so you're still in the same position.

(09:41):
That's right. Then there was no goalies.
Yeah, you know. OK, well.
And we lifted up the the board so that it just slid right
underneath. So you know.
I have to go and see this. But I did it.
I did it. Getting better, guys.
OK. What an athlete.

(10:20):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's the the podcast with You know, us, Dave, Rachel Foreman.
It's the podcast that's like themonth of November.
Odds are you're happier when it's over than when it starts.
I was going to say dark and shitty.
I think we've done that one before.
Yeah. Every bleak dark.

(10:41):
We are shitty. Bleak.
Yeah. Bleak and.
There's literally nothing good about November.
Like Remembrance Day is a thing that we you know, it's a not a
holiday. Important.
It's important. It's solemn.
But it's not fun. Yeah, it's very solemn.
It's a. Solemn disagreeation by the by
the end. Important, but so there's
nothing good about November. Yes, November leads into

(11:02):
December. It's the prelude to the fun of
December. Well, I guess if you can.
Yes, says every small town that's the gateway to some
better bigger city that's the next stop.
Yes, like. Exactly.
Exactly. No.
The gateway. To the nation's capital isn't
saying much about your town. It's more about the next place.

(11:23):
That's November. November is December Eve.
Give it a break. Where's the Carlton Place of
podcast it's? Carlton Place.
Carlton Place of podcast. Yeah, Foreman's hometown.
And and The Muppets might as well be the Carlton place of
Christmas movies for my family. Oh, The Muppets.

(11:44):
Yeah, and The Muppets Christmas Carol.
A classic. It is a.
Classic. A delightful classic.
It's a wonderful movie. It's incredible.
I don't know how many times I watched that as a kid.
That movie is my best friend's favorite Christmas movie.
And you watched it? It's a jam growing up, Yeah.
It's a great, wonderful version.I've been here for that every

(12:06):
year and I am here for the food.But every year that's a
tradition. Like you got to watch The
Muppets Christmas Carol, of course.
Yeah. You know what?
You love it. You could sing the songs.
Michael Caine. Yes, Michael Caine, but so you
like it but nobody else you. Cannot.
I have been trying and I tried again last weekend to get my

(12:27):
family to watch this movie. No one will stand for it.
I can't get through 10 minutes up.
I can't get through the 1st songthey sing before.
They're like, we're not watchingthis.
Like they see the singing fruit and they're and they're done.
They're out. They couldn't.
Ashley hate Muppets. Emily doesn't like neither.
Kids like Muppets in general. I don't think they know what The

(12:48):
Muppets is like. They didn't grow up with The
Muppets we grew up with. Like there were endless Muppets
shows and movies and all that kind of stuff when we were kids.
They're fun, sassy puppets. Enjoy.
Sit back, enjoy. Eat your popcorn.
Let me watch this movie. I.
Mean. Beaker has a great Co star and
Beaker's the greatest Muppet ever and he has a Co starring

(13:10):
role. I mean, he's a he's an important
part of the story. Of course.
My goodness, if you don't like Beaker, what's wrong with?
You. Beaker let me tell you something
Foreman, and this may may help you or not.
I now my older children love especially my my son.

(13:30):
He loves loves, loves the MuppetChristmas Carol, just like you.
Just like you. Seems like you would, yeah.
I think I struggled with Charlotte to get her to watch it
and my wife had absolutely, positively no interest.
No. Really.
Yeah, and, and part of the reason, I believe is that the

(13:56):
the Christmas Carol story, if ifif you're not familiar with it,
if it hasn't been, well, I know 'cause it's the.
General story of you're visited by 3 ghosts, then you turn over
a new leaf. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. And I, I, I think I watched some

(14:16):
cartoon animated version of A Christmas Carol when I was a
kid, which I absolutely loved 'cause I like, yeah, I like the
story. I mean, the story is it's, it's
a, you know, it's the redemptionof this miserable Christmas
hating person. It's such a great story anyway.
But I couldn't get anybody to inmy family to have an interest in

(14:39):
it until the Grand Theatre did. As their Christmas production.
They did A Christmas Carol and Scrooge was played actually by a
woman and she was terrific. Awesome.
She was terrific in the anyway, so we my my wife likes to go to
the Christmas production at the Grand, except this year we're no

(15:00):
way I'm going to see frozen. We're going.
I bought. Of course you are.
Could have predicted both of those I.
Do not want to be in the audience for that I would like.
To be that. That would be fun.
No, I hope you enjoy it. I don't think so.
Anyway, so we went to see A Christmas Carol and my wife and
my daughter both loved it. I'm like, I've been trying to

(15:21):
tell you this, yeah, for years. It's like the story.
Well, it's not the story of Christmas, but it.
Is but it's a wonderful. It's a classic, yeah.
It's the classic Christmas storyabout the guy who changes Yeah,
Christmas changes him, Yeah. And so the.
Secular story of Christmas. Yes.
So I got them now that was a fewyears ago.

(15:42):
So if you get lucky enough in that regard, Forman, maybe you
can. But the best one for them to
watch is it's the easiest one towatch I know.
Because you know what we watchedinstead?
What? And at the end of it, Harley
said this is my favorite Christmas movie.
And that is it was A Christmas Carol, but it was that mid 2000s

(16:05):
Disney Jim Carrey one with the weird animation like The Polar
Express style animation of right.
It's the. It's the one.
Never seen that. It's like, it's terrifying.
It's OK, but it's scary. It will it.
The whole thing is mostly scary.It will give you night.
I can't believe Emily didn't have nightmares.

(16:26):
The Marley's ghost comes in and he's screaming at Jim Carrey and
his jaw breaks off and it's, it's, it's crazy.
Wow, it's crazy. It's crazy a lot.
Have you heard of the movie Coraline?
Which is not. A Oh yeah, the kids are already
weird off that we watched half of that years ago, which was a
terrible, terrible Christmas Carol.
Jim Carrey is exactly the same. It's.

(16:49):
Treated the same my daughter Kendall watched on end for
months. Like we had to watch this movie
almost daily because she was obsessed with it.
And I'm sitting there thinking this is the creepiest fucking
thing I've ever seen and she's probably 6 years old watching
Coraline loving it. Like what the hell.

(17:10):
Wow. I don't know how kids watch that
and then they can't. I don't know.
Well then she'll love this version of The Christmas Carol.
Now you should watch it. She.
Doesn't like creepy movies, likeshe's very sensitive to that,
but Coraline she it's funny whatthey'll watch sometimes like and
not. See, because I like the
Christmas Carol from when I was a kid whenever a new version

(17:30):
came out like the Muppet 1 and there have been other versions.
When that Jim Carrey thing came out, when I went to see it in
the theater by. Myself.
Oh my. In 3D form and you think it's
creepy? Oh yeah, it's creepy.
Did you walk out in the middle? No, no, because I know, I know
the story, but I I didn't like the way they treated it.

(17:51):
It was right. I.
Mean you feel like because I mean you you can walk out of the
end of it because it wraps it ties everything up in a nice
neat little bow right. We all know how the the general
story ends, so it's like a nice ending, but to get there it's
pure torture and I feel like because having not.
Read versions of that movie. Well, but having not read the

(18:12):
original Charles Dickens novel, I feel like they that's probably
the most accurate rendition of maybe.
Which was? True to the novel form the Jimmy
there. One, did you carry 1?
Yeah, it's because I get the sense that Charles Dickens meant
for you to feel that way. Yes, to be scared.
Yeah, There are times when you want to be scared.

(18:32):
Look, there's a couple of, you know, there's the black and
white one with forget the guy who plays Scrooge, Alistair Sims
or something. It's a really, it's like a 1950
version. It's pretty scary.
I mean, they're the the it's scary, especially at the end.
I mean, it's always that you no one wants to go, goes to
Christmas yet to come, no. He kills you, he kills Tiny Tim.

(18:58):
Like even in The Muppet. Even in The Muppets movie, he's
a little creepy. Yeah.
So that's the whole idea. But I I'm sorry that you can't
get anybody to watch it. I got my, my they're all in now,
only thanks to the Grand Theater.
And now I have them watching DieHard, but I don't think they
love it. I've never.
Seen Diehard? I don't.
I don't. You've never seen Diehard?

(19:19):
No. It's great movie.
No, the one movie that Jeremy has banned from our house now is
Christmas Vacation. That's the only If they're only
going to pick one Christmas movie to watch forever, it's
that one. It's that one, Jeremy.
It's because I said to Julia last year, I'm like, oh, I think
you can watch this. And Kendall was asleep.

(19:39):
So I was like, OK. And then so we put on Christmas
vacation, and Jeremy is sitting on the other couch looking at me
like, Are you sure? Like.
And he says, I said, yeah, I think it's fine.
And then we get to the part where he's looking at the girl
in the bathing suit outside, andshe takes her clothes off.
And I'm like, Oh yeah, I forgot about that part.
And. Jeremy looks looks at me like,

(20:02):
what are you? Why did you put this on?
I told you and I was like, I didn't remember that part.
He's like, there's bad words in this.
They're getting naked and they're like, this is not cool,
you know? And so he's like, no, no more.
And to this day. So I fast forwarded that part.
I don't think we even finished watching the movie.
And Julia. Still says can we watch that

(20:23):
movie and Jeremy's like no we. Can't.
Well, eventually, really, you got to let her watch it.
I. Know I don't, I thought it would
be OK and I was just it's I justdidn't remember.
I didn't remember. 18 year old, almost 19 year old, very close
to 19 who loves that movie, but good for her.
She will not now at this age. We discussed this here.

(20:44):
We're we're we're discussing whether we should watch Love
Actually. And for some reason something
popped up, I think on Instagram,some sort of the scene where
Hugh Grant dances to, yes, you know, jump or whatever.
Yeah. And it showed up as you know how
I feel this time of year, or you've been waiting for this

(21:06):
moment. Makes for a good meme.
It makes for a great meme. Him dancing, it is very, very
funny. A meme that people find funny.
And everyone gets Rachel. Everyone gets everybody.
Thinks it's funny, all that stuff.
So she's like, well, let's watchLove.
Actually, I'm like, yeah, OK, there's a reason I don't like
Love Actually. What is it?
And then my daughter pipes up it, you know, so we, I think

(21:28):
what happened with that is I'd never seen it.
And you, I think Rachel, when wewere working together, you
talked about, oh, Love Actually is such a great Christmas movie.
I'm like, well, maybe we should try it.
And I think we all sat down to watch it.
It doesn't say, you know, the kids shouldn't be watching.
Not that I recall. So we get into the thing and
it's it's a little convoluted who everybody is.

(21:49):
And then there's this couple whoseem to be the stand insurance
for the star. I don't know, they're doing the
lighting for some movie and theykeep losing their clothes.
Yeah, to the point. Where they're both Yes, they're
both naked in. This.
And not naked like the the girl in Christmas Vacation 'cause you
don't even see her get naked. No, you don't really.

(22:10):
You don't, you know, but. In this you do.
My 1 complaint about that movie.That's right.
These two are full on. And, and so Charlotte's pipes up
just, you know, last week there's people naked in it.
And it weirded me out when I wasa kid.
And I'm like, yeah, that was a mistake.
Yeah, that's. A mistake.
And the other thing I don't particularly like about Love

(22:31):
Actually is it's not particularly a happy Christmas
movie. No it.
Really isn't. Not all the vignettes are happy,
no, But some of them are very happy.
Yes, but not all. Yeah.
So I think it's supposed to justbe a realistic look at.
But it's really not. Yeah, realistic.
Yes, with you fall in love with the Prime Minister.

(22:53):
Yeah, well. It's not.
Realistic. Yeah, I think Story phenom's not
in this one. That's right.
Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't and you
know. We can watch Bad Santa here, but
we're not watching Love ActuallyBad.
Santa. Way worse.
What is it with you guys in fucking fixing sandwiches?

(23:28):
This is due to underwhelming. Let me try that.
Again. Start again.
No, we're keeping it. No, you're of course you're
keeping it. This is due to underwhelming
demand, the podcast that that's keeping expectations low and
meeting them. Steve, you're welcome.
Yeah. You're welcome.
If I edited that out, we would have been setting the bar too

(23:49):
high. I set the bar too high.
Let's do some headlines. Yes, OK.
These are real. I don't have to make these up.
There's no reason to make these are actual headlines.
Why would we change them? And Foreman sends me headlines
all the time and he has a a penchant for Guelph.
What you're saying with? Guelph.
What is with Guelph? Yeah, what's Guelph?
I don't know if it's like, you know, I've heard that the reason

(24:13):
there's so many Florida Man stories is because police
departments there catalog them more than it's not that it
happens more there necessarily. They just report them more.
And I feel like that's happeningwith the Guelph police.
It could be because there's always a Guelph story.
I think the Florida thing I've heard is because their court
laws are slightly different. Something like that.

(24:34):
Something similar to that. And so all of these court cases
end up becoming headlines. And yeah, and that may be why.
So maybe the same? People love a good laugh.
Yeah, anyway. They know how to get pressed.
So anyway, for Foreman, I've decided because oftentimes I
look at your Guelph headlines and go what's with Guelph?
Yeah, Anyway, some Guelph headlines for Foreman.

(24:56):
Yes, for Foreman. Guelph man says neighbor hit him
with a large wrench. What?
That would hurt. That would hurt, Yes.
That's an. Action.
That would hurt. That's mean that would hurt.
Like when you get into a disputewith your neighbor.
What? What do you happen to have?
A large wrench? That's what you go and get.
No, I don't know. When I hit my neighbors I no use

(25:19):
my broom. Yeah, I'm not using my wrench.
My shovel there. That's right.
Yeah, I'm throwing dog poop intothe yard in the middle of the
night when they can't see me. Exactly.
Like your reverse. Or that, well, woman loses
$90,000 each US to scam claimingDoug Ford was starting a new
cryptocurrency. That's not happening.

(25:42):
I mean, to be fair, that is slightly believable because
didn't. It's believable.
It's not believable. Doug Donald Trump, the Elon
Musk, they have the the Doge. Coin but.
I'm going fine, Doug Coin well. You know politicians starting
their own crypto is, you know you.
Got to stop believing that. Stuff you know it's happened

(26:03):
before $90,000. Headlines.
These are Guelph headlines for form and one more.
Police arrest Guelph Grinch twice in one day.
He was stealing packages I believe.
Porch. Porch.
Twice in the same. Like.
He stole a. Package they got arrested was

(36:52):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's a podcast. It's a podcast that Sally was
missing a sponsor on this episode.
How can that be? You wonder how come people
aren't banging down the door to advertise on this fine podcast?

happening. But if you would like to either

We don't advertise that, but it's, you know, it's a side if.
You guys say it, then we say it.Sure.

(38:38):
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
You can send us a message through our website,
youcanemailus.daverachelforeman@gmail.com.You can DM us however you want
to. Debbie sent us a message.
She's catching up on some episodes, so she's a little
behind. She says, hey, guys, I missed
you all summer. And then when you came back, I
wasn't able to listen for a while, so now I'm catching up.

(39:00):
These are comments on the few old episodes.
I'm on episode 138 right now, but here goes.
Pumpkin spice whipped cream. I agree, this makes no sense on
pumpkin pie. I would see it being used in a
drink like hot chocolate or better if you made your own
lattes or especially specialty coffees at home.
I also like it using on pan. Like to use it on pancakes or

(39:20):
waffles. Dave, you must be the only
person on the planet that hasn'tsquirted it directly into your
mouth. You.
Don't do that. OK.
I don't do that. Keep on keeping butter in the
freezer. I do not do this, says Debbie.
I rarely buy butter. Actually.
I am not rich. We use margarine.
But since Dave and Foreman were once again beating up on Rachel

(39:42):
over this, I wanted to come to her defense.
She says she buys extra when it's on sale and then keeps it
in her freezer with one at a time.
In the fridge. You told her to put it all in
the fridge? Maybe she doesn't have enough
room in the fridge for all that butter, huh?
Ever think of that? Thank you, Debbie.
Well, I thank you very much. Well, yes, but rich, is your
fridge just as full as your freezer?

(40:02):
Sometimes not quite. What?
I wondered. Because you're always worried
about the apocalypse and you won't have food.
Well, now that food's so expensive, we really dwindle
down in the fridge before I do my next grocery shop, so.
I don't know. I think you're turning into my
mom. You are turning into my mom with
the the freezer just jammed. The fridge just jammed.

(40:24):
Yeah, you got. Any breast milk in there?
No, no, I never had enough to freeze to be honest.
So no, get up all the room. No, no.
OK, turning back the clock. Slightly more information than I
needed there, Rachel, but thank you.
That wasn't my no, I didn't havethat.
Thank you for that, Debbie says on turning back the clock.
Dave, you had a microwave that changes time automatically.

(40:45):
Must be nice. It must be nice.
It must be. Nice.
Our stove also needs manually changing.
Granted, those are about the only things now, because
everything else changes. Automatically, I think you
missed the point. I mean, I think I said Foreman.
If you're the tin height, tin hat type of person like Foreman,

(41:07):
you don't have to worry about changing your microwave clock.
OHK. OK, those with a microwave, I
think yes, we do still have to change.
No, my microwave needs changing.It's not hard.
Right. OK.
And then she has one more thing.Lastly, I have a question for
Foreman. My husband works downtown not
far from you, and he has startedgoing into the office three days
a week. Oh, I know this is going.

(41:28):
Where do you park? Where is your parking lot and
are you still getting away with not paying?
Yeah. So I'll tell you now, it's
apparently I've been rolling thedice because yesterday I
happened to arrive at the exact same time, a guy with a parking
lot logo on the side of his car and a vest.

(41:49):
And he was taking his phone around and bending down and
clearly looking at people's license plates.
And I thought, Oh no, I'm going to go ahead and pay today.
Right. Well, there's a year.
But is this like how I've never seen that before and I've been
parking there since April and now it's November?

(42:10):
So like, is this a once a year thing?
Is this going to be a new thing that they haven't been doing?
Is this once every six months? I don't know.
I mean, I'm clearly not going to, I'm going to go in there
today and not pay, but. See what happens?
Yeah, we'll be getting an update.
Okay, so I'll tell you off the air which parking lot this is.

(42:33):
Yeah. We'll respond after.
Yeah. I have another e-mail from Jim
Bag who was upset that I was censoring the YouTube podcast.
So on the previous episode, episode 141, I did not censor
anything. I left all the swear words in
there and Jim Bag says say fuck no to censorship.
Thanks for not censoring the awesome podcast.

(42:55):
Thanks, Jim Bag, glad to have you on board.
Yeah, thank you. We've had plenty of other
commentary, like on Spotify we have a comment from Candace, I
think mostly directed at you Rachel to say fun fact, there
were two two bunums in the Ingersoll Santa Claus parade

(43:18):
this year, 2 of them. Don't you Max out at 1:00?
Right. You should tell people sorry,
we've already got one of those. Like some parades have very
strict rules, right? Like yeah, 1 venom rule, yeah.
One venom and one venom only. You're only allowed to have one
Santa, Yeah. Exactly.
Yeah, honestly, the London parade has crazy strict rules by

(43:41):
like no one else can. Obviously there's only one
Santa, right? But no one can dress up like
Santa or any other float. No, it is.
Forbidden. I think our parade is the same.
You can't have any Santa figureson your float.
You can't have you. Nobody can dress like Santa.
There's only one Santa. Yeah, and he's at the end.
He's the star of the show. Now you're starting to make it

(44:04):
seem like you know, like you know, like gym bag would not
like parades because they're censored.
You can't put a Santa gear. You can't.
What's your thoughts on parades?Right, OK.
Next week we'll we'll hear from Jim Bag.
But I mean, now I'm in favor of 25 Bunhams.
And by the way, on that meme Karen had said ha ha ha ha ha ha

(44:27):
ha ha ha ha ha ha. All caps love this 8 exclamation
marks. OK, well Karen and I, we're
going back and forth actually because I sent her the meme of
Benum. Benum reveals he used to date
both Katy Perry and former PrimeMinister Justin Trudeau.
So, and this is on the last episode.
I said that's how you know who your people are.

(44:49):
They laugh at your memes. You have the same humor.
She says, Rachel, I am your people.
I am peeing my pants imagining Bonum Carnival, frocking,
frolicking, frolicking, frolicking with Justin Trudeau.
But I can't find the meme. Where is it?
Post it, please. So I sent it to her and I'm
like, you're going to die. Here it is.
And she thinks it's hysterical. So Karen is my people.

(45:11):
Thank you very much, Karen. I love that.
It's very not funny about his head in his hand, but not.
Funny at all? It's.
So funny. Not funny at all.
Yeah, about Jeremies, possible old man shoes that were the same
as his father's, right, Brenda says.
I bought a pair of those slip ONS, I use them as slippers in

(45:32):
the house as I need the support walking after 2 broken legs.
So OK, Bear makes sense for Brenda.
Bear you've sucked the fun out of it, Brenda, and obviously it
helps you, so that's fine. But yeah, well then fine, you'll
prefer Kelly's comment that says100% old man shoes don't do it.
Dave is right. Haha.
Bend over. Yes, yes.
