(00:00):
It was like puberty. It was something like that.
We did it on end for like 20 minutes, just me and Jeremy, and
then Kendall started getting into it and Julia was just like.
That's enough. Oh my God, I was dying.
(00:25):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's a podcast. It's the podcast that that's all
dressed for Halloween. Have a look at us.
Foreman came as a happy, though smug, gloating and insufferable
Blue Jay fan. There he is.
At the time of this recording, the World Series hasn't started
yet, so right may already be outof context, right?
(00:49):
Because those last three can really haunt you, you know that,
right? They can.
Rachel, as always, great work onthe costume.
A ghoulish vampire. Just look at how pale she.
Is. My God.
That's true. Ghostly.
Actually, I don't know how you do that.
(01:09):
A see through as Casper. Neither do I, to be honest.
Right. And I'm dressed as someone who
just doesn't want to be here. I really need to come up with a
different costume because I feellike I've dressed this way for
the last. The same.
Several years, yeah. Anyway, yeah.
Halloween on on the podcast today Rachel is going to sing a
(01:29):
puberty song. Can't wait for that.
I'm excited Foreman is looking for someone, anyone to watch the
World Series with him. Well, no, I it's more would you,
are you could you fake interest in sports for your partner?
(01:50):
You sure can. I heard it.
And how? OK.
And and we will start with that in mind.
We will start. We'll begin with I have a
question for you. Does does not liking the Blue
Jays make me uncanadian? Yes.
Yes. Absolutely.
(02:10):
Case closed, you guys 100%. You're wearing red and blue
tonight though. What is that?
Go Blue Jays. That is the Toledo Mud Hands,
one of the farm teams of the Detroit Tigers, my favorite
baseball. Team OK.
The Detroit Tigers. Right, you're.
Allowed to cheer for the Tigers or whatever if they were still
playing, but they're not, so your only option is.
(02:33):
I am OK. Let me explain something to you.
Let me explain something to you.Blue Jays or you don't watch it
at all. Yeah.
Well, I probably. That's.
It I'm probably not going to watch it, but I am I I will
explain why I will watch it. You're a baseball fan.
I love baseball. Growing up, when I was a kid, I
played baseball, I played hockeyand I was better at baseball, I
(02:55):
believe because it's not done onskates.
Can confirm my God. Same name, same.
Anyway, so I, I, I do like baseball.
You were right for him. And when I was very young, I
loved the Yankees. And then and then hang on, hang
on, don't care. And then, and then Canada
(03:16):
actually got a baseball team. We got a team.
And I loved that team, the Montreal Expos.
The Montreal Expos, they were myteam.
That's my Canadian team. And then I got a little older
and I moved to Windsor and I spent a number of years in
Windsor and I fell in love with the Detroit Tigers.
I mean, I got to go to, I got passes, I got to go to a lot of
(03:40):
games. I love baseball.
And so I became a Tiger fan. But I had the National League,
you know, I had the American League, I got the Tigers and the
National League. I had the Expos.
And I really didn't care about the Toronto Blue Jays.
I just didn't. I didn't care about them.
I didn't know anything about them.
I just didn't care. I had Toronto in the I mean, I'm
(04:00):
sorry, I had Detroit and I love the Expos and I had the the
Expos almost. Did they make it to the World
Series? They were close.
There was the time when baseballwas going on strike a lot.
Anyway, long story. The whole story, it was the IT
was the baseball strike of 94. The Expos would have probably
won cause on paper they were by.Far the best team and then they
(04:22):
didn't get. There after Toronto just won
back-to-back World Series type of half.
Yeah, I'll get to that as a matter of.
Fact. I'll get to SO.
Anyway, the other day I'm at thethis will be two days ago, but
it's the other day because the podcast comes later.
Somebody said to me two days ago, Oh, it was another guy that
(04:44):
I know at the golf course. Well, I bet you'll be watching
the game tonight. Oh, you mean the Lions game and
he goes Lions game. No, the the Blue Jays.
Oh, I said I hate the Blue Jays.No, I'm not watching the Blue
Jays. Oh.
My God. I don't, I don't care about the
Blue Jays. And he literally said, well,
that's uncanadian. Yeah, How?
(05:05):
Yeah, in a different way than mybecause my wife Ashley would say
the same thing. I don't care.
I didn't know there was a game. Who cares?
Don't like? But she's never already a
baseball fan. Well, I'm a fan.
I mean, my interest in the WorldSeries, to be honest with you,
quite frankly, is they've got this guy playing for the Dodgers
who's. The best player of any sport
(05:28):
ever. He.
Could ever play. He could be one of the greatest
baseball. We don't know yet, but he could
be one of the greatest baseball.Players better than every
baseball player ever. Well, no, he's not better than
Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth pitched and hit home
runs in a World Series, but he'sabout to do that.
Maybe. Maybe.
So I'm curious to watch who I consider to be the greatest
(05:50):
baseball player alive today. And he plays for the Dodgers
playing. Against the son of your favorite
teams. *. Player in Vladimir Guerrero,
senior on the Montreal Expos. Yeah, I don't care about that
now. I will give them.
There are two, there are, listen, there are two Canadians,
(06:13):
people that say you run Canadian.
Look, it's just a, it's a baseball team and it's based in
Toronto, which is a city I, I fundamentally don't like.
I don't know about you guys, butToronto is.
Well, I don't want to live there, but.
Exactly, Yeah. Exactly, and I don't like their
other sports teams. Well, I do see that's that's
where we're. Different.
(06:33):
That's where we're different. That's where we're different.
Anyway, here's a look at this. I've kept it.
This is a ticket to game game four of the World Series 1992
Foreman. I was there.
Wow. I was, yeah.
That's why I kept. It how much did it cost?
Like 6 bucks I. Will tell you what it costs for
(06:53):
those who are spending a lot of money for tickets.
Yeah, $72. I didn't pay for it.
I got to go. Labatt's had something to do
with the Blue Jays. Well, they owned.
Them, they started them. That's why they're the Blue
Jays. Yes, exactly.
And so I was. The Blue Jays won it.
I was cheering for Atlanta. I I will freely admit that I
(07:15):
didn't like them then. I don't like them.
It's nothing. OK, here's my opinion because I
don't really care about sports, as you know, no, but I think
that if, you know, the Blue Jaysare the only Canadian team.
So when the only Canadian team makes it to the World Series of
America is already against them,so all of Canada has to be for
(07:39):
them. Stop.
That's nonsense. I know people who are fans of
the Boston Bruins or It doesn't matter which NHL team you like.
It doesn't have to be Canadian. It doesn't when.
Edmonton's in the Stanley Cup Final.
I'm cheering for them, not Florida.
Well, no, I did too, but only because I can't stand Florida.
(07:59):
If the Canadians at the MontrealCanadiens were in the Stanley
Cup against Florida, I don't like the Canadians.
You know, I'm a Leaf fan. I don't like the Canadians, I
don't like Ottawa. I'll cheer for the Oilers, I
won't cheer for. Ottawa I'll never cheer for.
I'm not cheering for the Leafs. I.
Know exactly? Oh my God, you.
See what I'm saying? It's OK, you know.
(08:19):
You're going to cheer for the, Imean, truth.
I think the Dodgers are going towin because of Shohei Otani.
No, I'm sorry. I know.
But we all know it. And I think you just have to be.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong.
Look, I here's the thing. The guy says to me, You run
Canadian? I said, hey, on a second, the
Seattle team has 2 Canadian baseball players and the Blue
(08:41):
Jays only have one. If I'm cheer for the Seattle,
that makes me more Canadian doesn't it?
It's got more Canadian players. No.
What do? You mean no, they're not our
team? They don't represent us.
They don't. Have the representing the.
Little Red. Thing on their.
Thing stop with that nailer. 'S got it on his belt.
(09:01):
It's a. Logo.
Who cares? It's about even the players talk
about it. They talk about it all the time
and how they know that they theyget to play here for a whole
country. Every other player in baseball
gets to play for a city. Yeah, they play for a country.
They know that they feel. That you can tell them that
they're not playing for the entire country.
(09:22):
OK, everybody, minus Dave. Yeah.
I could probably find two or three others.
And one friggin guy that I used to work with in Halifax who came
from Vancouver, who's. Head to.
Toe him. He was at the game, he was at
Game 7 when the Mariners lost and I enjoyed that because of
him. Oh, he's.
The Mariners. Oh yeah?
Who is he? Well, because he's from
(09:43):
Vancouver. Yeah, of course of.
Course, there's only a couple ofthem there.
Right. Go, Dodgers.
(10:12):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
The podcast That's like a pumpkin.
It looks OK until you get into it and find a sloppy, gooey,
icky crappy mess. But with but with.
Seeds with seeds. That's exactly what I was going
to. Say, yeah, I thought seeds would
be a good thing, yeah. And then you leave it on your
porch till March and then see what it looks like.
(10:34):
Then it rots. Yeah.
You cut it open and then it rots.
Then hey, don't get ahead of what I'm going to use next week.
Oh. Sorry, right.
Yeah, stop. Well, no.
This week I actually would like to know if anyone is or at least
has or would consider faking interest in sports just for the
(10:57):
sake of your partner. Faking it.
Yeah, just fake it. I mean, you, Rachel, you don't
like sports. Jeremy will have curling.
On you. If there's a really important
game of whatever sports can, youjust for his sake should sit
down and pretend you're looking at the TV.
(11:17):
So I actually, we do sit together in the room, in the
living room and watch TV. We don't really.
We have other TV's. We just don't use them like
ever. So I do, I am I, I wouldn't say
that I'm faking interest. I would say I'm being forced to
sit there while he's watching it.
Well, well, I scroll my phone. Are you?
(11:38):
Feigning any interest? No, no.
However, right now I am interested because I do like
baseball. I played a little baseball when
I was a kid and so I will watch baseball and, and the World
Series is it's exciting. So I'll watch that and I'm into
it and Kendall's into it. She's like, if anyone's going
(12:00):
to, you know, if Jeremy's going to have a friend and anyone in
the house, it's Kendall who willwatch sports with him.
Well, that's good. And I was like, you got to teach
her about all this stuff becauselike, nobody taught me.
I didn't have anyone to really teach me this stuff.
And so it's up to you. You got to teach her.
I know he's. Interested.
Sometimes she's 8, same as Kendall, and she'll watch 5 up
(12:21):
to 10 minutes of a hockey game or up to 10 minutes of baseball.
Yeah, and ask. Questions and you're like OK,
I'll I'll mansplain the hell outof this if you really I want the
answer right. Wow.
At least she can fake and dressed.
Yeah, I, I dragged my, my daughter to, I mean, she, I
mean, we travel to baseball games because I love baseball,
(12:43):
as you know, and I like to go and see as many baseball parks
as I can before I can't do that anymore, you know?
So she's been to Fenway Park, but she never cared like 3
innings in. She's like when are we leaving
really? And that's I.
Like going to live events. I think my kids like, they like
it live. Like they'll go and have fun,
(13:06):
Yeah. What about Jana though?
Will she? Does she?
Like it or is. She faking interests.
Jab played baseball. Actually, I have a great story
about Jab. Yeah, I have a great story about
Jana playing baseball. With that, I won't tell 'cause
she gets really mad when I when I tell this story because her
father told it to me and I love it and it tells me everything I
need to know about Jana, but I won't tell it.
(13:26):
But she played baseball. She was a good baseball player.
OK. How are you?
Going to leave us without that story.
You can't. You can't set up a story and
then be like. Yeah, I can't do it.
This is the. Greatest story ever told that
you'll never hear. No, yeah, it's just a really
good story about Jana. That's.
That's what I want. That's what I I will tell you
guys, but not here. I.
(13:49):
Can't. Well, I'm sorry you asked if
Jana watched. She played baseball, was pretty
good ball player, was it so? She watches.
Yeah, to be honest, when we go to the baseball game, she loves
it. As for what's been going on,
like the Tigers were playing, they played Seattle, I had the
games on. She's more into she's all of a
(14:10):
sudden into football now. I don't know why.
Oh, could be the Taylor Swift thing.
She likes the the Kelsey Brothers.
So then she likes Philadelphia, she likes Kansas City.
She has an interest in Detroit. She likes football.
Well, she's all over the place. Yeah, yeah, no.
She doesn't care about any sportat all, period.
No matter what, no matter the team, the sport, what's
(14:32):
happening. Couldn't care less.
And also grew up playing baseball.
Was a pitcher. Oh yeah, I think I knew.
That better I brought. This up on country 104 and
people are like she played, she doesn't watch what I'm like.
Those are two varied just because you played the sports.
I mean, you watch it. Yeah, yeah, it's true, because
(14:53):
Jan Janice Sandwich played the sport.
But she doesn't seem when we go to a ball game, she's there,
she's into it. But when it's on TV.
And some people just coexist. It's like you and Jeremy seem to
coexist their sports on You're not watching, You don't care.
Do you glance at the TV? Yeah, sometimes.
And then like now that it's the World Series with the, you know,
(15:15):
I, I was, I was paying more attention, right.
So, so he was like happy about that because that he wasn't
alone in cheering. Exactly.
Yeah, You know, and I would get.Into with them.
So like someone who called the radio station thought, well I
need better snacks. I need to put out charcuterie
and like have a whole dinner party to get her to come to the
same room as me to watch. Sports.
(15:37):
Yeah, nice charcuterie board. That's a lot, yeah.
Yeah. No, we don't want to see that's
that's not how. It works.
She's like, you know what man? Snacks you want charcuterie.
You get some wine and have some.Cheeses.
Not man snacks. That's not that's not how you
watch. Sports.
No, it isn't. I think it would be better the
(15:57):
way either what Rachel's doing or what another young woman who
called to say. She's like, I go to my he's like
my boyfriend watches football all day every Sunday.
She's like from 1:00 till when it like the whole day, right?
She's like, and I will go there every Sunday.
And she uses it like, it's like a thing in her brain now where
she says as soon as that football theme song starts, it's
(16:21):
time to have a nap. And she sleeps the whole day
beside him. Yep.
But they're there watching football together.
There you go. That works.
Yeah, exactly. You can just fall asleep or just
scroll on your phone, do a little shopping, fill your, fill
some carts, whatever you want. Maybe not that that might be a
bad idea. Why?
Not cards, because that costs. A lot of money.
(16:43):
Well, you don't have to check out.
You just fill the cart, that's all.
Fill like a game and leave it. Is that the game?
Who needs games? Who needs apps, right?
Who needs Word? All we got fill the cart.
Yeah, that's a game that's fun. You do you with anything.
You put stuff in the cart and then just get rid of it like.
Yeah, I just leave it there. Leave it there's, see if they.
(17:05):
Send you an e-mail to give you 10% off nothing that's still
sitting in your. Cart.
Yeah. Hey, did you forget something?
They always send that e-mail. We'll give you 5%.
Everyone right now, don't you guys do that?
I don't know. I don't tend to put anything in
a cart. At all.
Put anything in a cart unless I'm going to buy it, yes.
Because someone else is already doing a lot of that.
Yeah, yeah. What's on sale at this store
(17:29):
today? I don't know until I go to the
website. That's not a thing that I will
fake interest in. So yeah, me either.
Maybe we're better. I can't.
I guess your answer is no then. Yes.
No before. We had stuff on demand.
I watched. I watched 16 and Pregnant.
I watched Teen Mom. I watched all those shows.
With her. And then things became on demand
(17:50):
and I never had to ever again. And I won't.
Maybe you just need a pillow teddy bear.
Yes. You're blankie.
Now we've gotten to the root of it.
I think it's that's enough of delving into Foreman's psyche.
(18:13):
I feel like we've reached, we may have hit a nerve and I don't
feel I want to pursue this any further.
I was no one ever home for foreman because they're always
out in the fucking barn. I didn't.
Want to start? I was just going to say I'll
e-mail your mom but no, don't. Maybe I.
Won't. Don't do that.
She actually emailed us this week.
(18:48):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's the zombie of podcasts. I mean really literally, I mean
a dead radio show brought back to life trying to eat, trying to
eat your brain. You know in in a manner of
speaking, you can run, but you can't hide you.
(19:08):
Can't that's. Right, you can try.
And that's what we said to our daughter earlier tonight, Jeremy
and I. You you can.
Run, but you cannot hide. Yeah, got.
One are you proud of me? Well, that was better.
That was better. So my daughter is 12, right.
Just as yours is, Foreman. Yeah.
And so puberty is a thing happening in our home right now.
(19:30):
What? Yeah.
So. You're more Privy to that than I
am just. Oh really?
You don't know. Say that well.
Well, you know what? No.
Jeremy wants to be involved. He wants to know what you know,
because he wants to. He doesn't want to feel left
out. OK, well tell.
Him, I was full of girls. Well, he tell him, you know,
from experience you want to get too involved.
Yeah, like. I'm I know, but I'm not getting
(19:53):
it. I'm not getting it directly from
the source, you know. No, and I, I don't think he
would because she doesn't reallywant to talk about stuff.
She will to me. And we're very open the all of
us actually about things like that.
And we talked to both kids aboutstuff very freely and openly and
we have for years already. So they're, they probably know
(20:14):
more than most kids their age, Iwould say about age appropriate
things. So.
And we were talking about something tonight in just in the
house, in the in the living roomand making dinner and getting
everything ready. And then I mentioned the word
puberty. I said that's because of
puberty. And this, the look on Julia's
(20:36):
face anytime I use that word is absolute disgust.
And why is that coming out of your mouth, mom?
Like her face is just like, Oh my God.
You know, it's very difficult toembarrass my daughter because I
try in the mornings. And I think I told you this,
when I go to the bus stop, I tryand embarrass her.
(20:57):
I love you, Julia. Have a great day.
I yell it at the, you know, in front of all of her friends.
She doesn't care. It doesn't bother her that
doesn't. And I'm like, oh, I can't even
embarrass her anyway. So saying the word.
Not be doing it right? Well.
Clearly not. Now I might have a new way.
I can give you all kinds of tipson that.
And I guess so that's. For a different, Yeah, you know,
(21:19):
I should write a book, but OK, that's later.
That's later. So we're the word puberty,
though, really just she doesn't like that and she doesn't want
to know that that's what's happening or any, you know, but
we should talk about that, right?
And so all of a sudden, Jeremy starts making up a song about
puberty. There's a lot of singing that
(21:39):
happens in our house, typically not by him.
So this was a little out of character.
And then I just said, well, you know, that's because of puberty.
And he goes puberty. It's because of puberty.
You know, he just starts singingand Julia is horrified.
And then we start singing for 20straight minutes.
Oh no. Who's already gone through
(21:59):
puberty? Mom and dad.
Who's going through it now? Julia.
Who's yet to come, Kendall. It's like the ghost of
Christmas. Past, present and future.
And then just singing all about puberty.
Could we embarrassed Julia more?We get right up in her face and
sing about it. We start twerking in the kitchen
singing about puberty. Me and Jeremy are both twerking
(22:21):
in the kitchen singing about puberty.
And Julia just puts in her headphones, puts in her little
eye, the apple, the eye, whatever those things are.
Airpods. Airpods.
Not even now she's not even paying attention.
And now? And now all of a sudden, Kendall
has thoughts about puberty and what Julia might be.
(22:42):
She starts out and then she starts singing the song with us.
So now three of us are singing the puberty.
It's because you're going through puberty, you know, mom
and dad have already gone through puberty and Kendall will
be going through puberty and we're all, it is just a one big
(23:02):
mess. Well, the tipping point though,
I think for Kendall was the twerking and that she said was
embarrassing. The rest of it she was fine
with. Anyway, so Julia had had it and
really gave us the stink eye after about 20 minutes.
And so then we had to stop because I think she was actually
getting a little angry. Agree with us on and I I'm not
(23:26):
going to pretend that I understand what's going on in a
12 year old's head. I've been there but I don't
remember. But you weren't a 12 year old
girl. No, I wasn't a 12 year old girl,
but I will tell you that there are certain words in the English
language that and I would consider, although I I don't
have any trouble saying puberty myself, but when I hear it
(23:47):
uttered that many times, it starts, it starts to become like
nails, Niels and a chalkboard. And in a sing song.
Yeah, by your parents to the to the point where I I I do want to
apologize to anybody that came across this podcast just now
just. Today, yeah.
Yeah, because there's. If if that's not hilarious that
(24:08):
we're doing it, then this isn't your podcast.
It's probably fine. No, it's like this.
Isn't for you? No, it's fine that you're
singing that. Dying on that hill, but I.
Even I'm just sitting here going, yeah, I've had you don't
have to say it anymore, right I've.
Heard Julia. I've heard it enough.
We could call it something else if you want.
You just. Can't you can't hear it from
(24:28):
your parents suspect. No, that's true, but we want to
normalize it. So we were fine singing about,
you know, this is the kind of stuff that in our we are.
I very much, I don't want them to have shame around any of that
kind of stuff. I want to normalize all this,
normalize talking about it with us.
Totally fine. Everybody goes through it and
then they and we should talk about it.
You want to normalize twerking too?
(24:50):
Because that's something you should never Percy.
Your parents do. I Yes.
I don't think, no, that's hysterical.
We're not good at it. Yeah, I don't think I would like
to see that. I don't think.
It No, Kendall did yeah, she didn't like it, though, of
course. Maybe the first time she thought
it was funny and then did the. Song include like, hey, there's
puberty. Puberty's been all around it,
said mommy, it's his daddy. It's going to hit Kendall soon
(25:12):
and let's list all the side effects.
Puberty. Here we go.
We didn't list side effects, butwe did name who's been through
and not been through it. Yeah.
Hair where there was no hair before, right?
No, we didn't talk about that, no.
Now Dave doesn't want to hear mesay that.
I don't even. Care.
I don't really care. I really should write a song
(25:32):
about this and it should be taught in all schools, you know,
like that's what they, I don't think they're learning enough
about it. There are certain words that
refer to things and you go, Yep,that's the perfect word, right?
Diarrhea. I don't know where that came
from, but that diarrhea is an excellent word.
Yeah, Everybody knows as soon asyou don't have to say it, does
(25:55):
it sounds. Like what it is?
It just is, yeah. Yeah, you're like, oh, that
cannot be good, but all. Right.
I don't know who came up with puberty, but I wish they had
come up with a better. I just, I know.
You could, yeah. Yeah, it just doesn't.
Right. Yeah, well, there's puberty and
then the next thing in our housewill be perimenopause and
(26:16):
that'll be a new, new song. Like, also something we don't
talk about enough. Just saying.
No, but I already hate the song.Please.
Don't sing that one you. Haven't gotten there yet, I'll
let you know when we do. This is due to underwhelming
(26:54):
demand, the podcast that will never, ever remind you to move
your clock back or forward. Because who needs reminding?
We have computers, we have smartphones, we have
smartwatches, we have smart TV's, we have smart appliances.
They do it all for us. There's no need to be reminded
to move your clock back or forward unless and even actually
(27:17):
even if you wear a tinfoil hat like Foreman.
You you don't even have to adjust the the clock on your
microwave, right? Am I right for you?
You don't have to do that. OK, 12:00 all the time.
Somebody else I know doesn't have a microwave, and they heard
that you don't have a microwave.And they were like, yeah, we
don't need one either. And I was like, OK, pardon me.
(27:37):
If you're only the second. Person I've ever heard of.
Anyway, guaranteed. I I guarantee you that someone,
some talking head on TV or or some talking mouth on the radio
is going to at some point say don't I forget, move your and I,
what are we back? You can.
Bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to put the share meme up.
If that could turn back time. Don't do that.
(28:01):
Because you should turn them back this but.
You can't. But you don't have to remind
anybody. It's done for you.
Stop it, Foreman. Don't do it.
Please don't do it. I beg you not.
On the radio. Yes, do not say it.
Oh that was going to be my one and only topic that last day
before the time change. Not to say it, or to say it
(28:21):
anyway. I'm not saying.
Just. Just saying not.
Saying shit. OK, good.
Anyway. Saying shit.
Yeah, we didn't any. Shame on you for thinking, you
know, you think that's the kind of show I'm running.
No, I knew it. I knew you wouldn't.
Do that do you think this? Is I know that I trained you
well. I knew you wouldn't do that.
You shouldn't do that. Please don't do that.
(28:43):
But no one will hear. Me and yet and yet there will be
people who sleep in. Oh yeah.
I get up early. Wait a minute.
And how that works I never really care.
I don't remember. All that.
This podcast, by the way, as youcan tell, is unsponsored.
This fine podcast that never reminds you to do any of that
crap is unsponsored again. How could that happen?
(29:03):
Well, you're asshole, that's why.
Well, that could be maybe that'swhat people listen and that's
why they don't sponsor. Anyway, go to our website or you
can reach out to us. Our website isunderwhelming.ca
where you can e-mail us. Rachel, right?
Dave.rachelforeman@gmail.com Youcan, yeah.
And our last sponsor actually was Intuition Nutrition.
Jenna Zyka is a dietitian there and she owns the business or she
(29:27):
began the business anyway. And she wrote to us right after
the last episode. She just said, I wanted to say
sponsorship of your podcast works.
We had multiple listeners attendour Fall into Nourishment event
because they heard about it on the podcast.
Please thank them again for joining us.
It meant a lot to meet them, especially as fellow due to
(29:49):
underwhelming demand podcast listeners, we all agreed how
your podcast makes us smile and laugh.
So thanks guys. That's awesome.
Thank you, Jenna. Thank you.
We should just end now and go out on a high.
But I know we I know we won't. But.
We don't like to do that. No.
Sink our own ship. Yeah, well, thank.
You Jenna, Jim Bag, certainly a glutton for punishment because
he bought us 5 coffees. Jim Bag?
(30:11):
Oh yes, but he didn't like us last time, right?
No. He said say something nice lol.
This used to be for a non TaylorSwift podcast.
OK if gym bag can give us buy uscoffees.
Yes. When he doesn't like the
content, so can you. Yes.
Yes, that's very true. Exactly.
(30:33):
Trueunderwhelming.ca there's a link.
There and if Dave from Elmer who's now in Sudbury can go all
the way to Sudbury and still listen and buy us another 5
coffees. Oh my goodness, this week, thank
you. Can't that's.
Because pod bean subscription. Because we want you guys to keep
bringing the funny Dave now in Sudbury and go to hockey,
Rachel. Go to hockey.
(30:56):
Yeah, I'm going next month. I want to thank Jim Bag for
bringing Taylor Swift up again. He's the one that keeps bringing
it up. So thank you, Jim Bag for doing
that. Still a Taylor Swift podcast?
Yeah. And by the way, did you hear the
news from last week that if you next summer, if you find
yourself at Cedar Point or Darien Lake, you'll be directly
financially contributing to the Taylor and Travis machine?
(31:19):
Why? Because he bought a 9% stake and
Six Flags. Interesting.
OK, And they own Canada's Wonderland now, right?
Six Flags. Yeah, I think so.
I think you're right. They do.
The thing? Oh, great.
So they're getting you no matterwhere you go, hey.
Chin bag, You should go to Canada's Wonderland.
(31:42):
OK, Joanne sent us a wedding. To pay for.
A wedding? Yeah, they do.
Really. They need money.
Joanne sent us a message via ourwebsite.
You can go to the website underwhelming.ca.
You can contact us there, leave a message and it comes right to
our e-mail inbox, she says. I just wanted to start with
thank you. You 3 kill me and I love your
(32:03):
podcast. It never disappoints.
The reading of Kia Pete inspiredme to look for this book for my
niece. Well who would have known there
was such an array of French fartbooks?
Thank you for that. I'm glad you found it, Joanne.
Good for you. Yeah, and on that topic, by the
way, Karen, who the book came from, from her school, OK, did
(32:27):
send us a link for the Canadian company that the book is from.
Oh, and it's weird because there's actually a newer edition
of the book compared to the one you've heard.
But she said I'm going to contact the author and ask what
the differences between the two are.
So I guess we'll see. But it's from Archambo
archambault.ca. Archambo, Archambo.
(32:50):
Arch A MB AUL. T name.
Clearly I'm saying it wrong. That's besides the point.
OK, well maybe the people who read Guillapete could tell us
how to do that not. Everyone's thrilled with us
though. Melissa sent me a message to say
Foreman. I just watched the podcast and
you are hating on Twix. Those are my absolute favorite.
(33:12):
Booty or Coffee Crisp? You don't like Twix?
I love Twix. Twix suck.
No, I like Twix. I like that.
I would take a Twix over a Coffee Crisp any day.
Never, never did. My.
Favorite Halloween candies are Reese's Pieces, no Reese's.
Cups. Peanut butter cups, yes.
And oh, Henry's or Wonder Bar because you don't get those
(33:34):
other than it. Like I never see them any other
time other than Halloween. Wonder Bar.
Yeah, because they're peanut butter.
You know what's good and you never see anymore?
Not crunchy but or crispy crunch, but crunch.
Oh, just. Crunch with the blue and.
White wrapper. Yeah.
Yeah, OK. I think they had like it was
like dried rice or something in it.
I. Think it was like Rice Krispies,
(33:55):
isn't it? Wasn't.
It Yeah. Yeah, or something like that.
Interesting. OK, yeah, we have an e-mail from
well, you look that up, Foreman.What are my favorite people?
Foreman's mom. Great.
Can we make an intro for this? Because I would like to have.
We should make an intro for it. Emails from Foreman's mom.
(34:15):
Oh, look who clopped on in. I'm.
Going to put that together, OK, She says.
Dear Dave, Rachel and Foreman, Iloved your last pre Halloween
episode. Foreman's dad and I, Foreman's
mom used to thoroughly enjoy adult Halloween parties hosted
by our rural friends. They had a no invitation
(34:38):
required adult party every year.Everyone of course came in
costume. There was no speaking for the
first half our first hour of theparty as you tried to guess who
was inside each costume. Voices are a dead giveaway, so
you couldn't talk. Foreman's dad had dressed up as
a baby, including pulling a noisy dog toy, wearing a diaper,
etcetera, etcetera. He got first prize one time.
(35:00):
He dressed up as an equestrian. Go figure, on a cardboard horse.
Foreman was also there in utero.So good when I dressed up as a
clown. There's photos, by the way,
which I will post. I had no mask.
I wore clown face makeup, a baldskullcap with orange French
hair. No one could guess who I was.
(35:22):
I had to be very careful to stand up quickly when another
character sat on my lap so the future Foreman would not be
squished. We played adult games that were
a riot. Lots of fond memories.
Lots of fun prizes, too. And those costumes were recycled
in 1991. Guess which one is Foreman?
And here's a photo of Foreman. And and I guess it's your
(35:43):
sisters, but everyone's dressed up and you are a little clown.
Do you remember that? I do recall a picture of my
father just as a baby, but I never knew why.
That's here too. I didn't.
Realize they went to adult parties playing adult games or
no ones allowed to talk. And he was.
There's something extremely off putting about all of that.
(36:07):
And here it's a photo of Foreman's Christmas.
Foreman's family Christmas, family Halloween.
Not anyway. She also says I am totally with
Rachel regarding freezing butter.
I too buy it when it's under $5 and freeze it.
I've got 12 lbs of butter in my freezer right now.
That's that's very good, in addition to my favorite.
(36:27):
Brand 12 lbs of butter. Fake things Christmas is coming
up. In addition to my favorite brand
of coffee ice cream that I also stock up on when it's under $5.
Bought butter goes rancid when it's in the fridge too long.
Frozen butter, just like frozen breast milk, can be kept
indefinitely. You're a faithful fan, Foreman's
(36:47):
mom, Kathy. Thank you, Kathy.
She. Had to throw that.
Breast milk one more time that she is on board with every all
of this stuff and I love the photos.
Foreman, I will be posting the one of you for sure.
No wonder Foreman needs a friendto watch baseball.
We were going to get the other messages, but she just ruined
them. That night came the honeymoon.
(37:21):
She's faking it.
It was like puberty. It was something like that.
We did it on end for like 20 minutes, just me and Jeremy, and
then Kendall started getting into it and Julia was just like.
That's enough. Oh my God, I was dying.
(00:25):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's a podcast. It's the podcast that that's all
dressed for Halloween. Have a look at us.
Foreman came as a happy, though smug, gloating and insufferable
Blue Jay fan. There he is.
At the time of this recording, the World Series hasn't started
yet, so right may already be outof context, right?
(00:49):
Because those last three can really haunt you, you know that,
right? They can.
Rachel, as always, great work onthe costume.
A ghoulish vampire. Just look at how pale she.
Is. My God.
That's true. Ghostly.
Actually, I don't know how you do that.
(01:09):
A see through as Casper. Neither do I, to be honest.
Right. And I'm dressed as someone who
just doesn't want to be here. I really need to come up with a
different costume because I feellike I've dressed this way for
the last. The same.
Several years, yeah. Anyway, yeah.
Halloween on on the podcast today Rachel is going to sing a
(01:29):
puberty song. Can't wait for that.
I'm excited Foreman is looking for someone, anyone to watch the
World Series with him. Well, no, I it's more would you,
are you could you fake interest in sports for your partner?
(01:50):
You sure can. I heard it.
And how? OK.
And and we will start with that in mind.
We will start. We'll begin with I have a
question for you. Does does not liking the Blue
Jays make me uncanadian? Yes.
Yes. Absolutely.
(02:10):
Case closed, you guys 100%. You're wearing red and blue
tonight though. What is that?
Go Blue Jays. That is the Toledo Mud Hands,
one of the farm teams of the Detroit Tigers, my favorite
baseball. Team OK.
The Detroit Tigers. Right, you're.
Allowed to cheer for the Tigers or whatever if they were still
playing, but they're not, so your only option is.
(02:33):
I am OK. Let me explain something to you.
Let me explain something to you.Blue Jays or you don't watch it
at all. Yeah.
Well, I probably. That's.
It I'm probably not going to watch it, but I am I I will
explain why I will watch it. You're a baseball fan.
I love baseball. Growing up, when I was a kid, I
played baseball, I played hockeyand I was better at baseball, I
(02:55):
believe because it's not done onskates.
Can confirm my God. Same name, same.
Anyway, so I, I, I do like baseball.
You were right for him. And when I was very young, I
loved the Yankees. And then and then hang on, hang
on, don't care. And then, and then Canada
(03:16):
actually got a baseball team. We got a team.
And I loved that team, the Montreal Expos.
The Montreal Expos, they were myteam.
That's my Canadian team. And then I got a little older
and I moved to Windsor and I spent a number of years in
Windsor and I fell in love with the Detroit Tigers.
I mean, I got to go to, I got passes, I got to go to a lot of
(03:40):
games. I love baseball.
And so I became a Tiger fan. But I had the National League,
you know, I had the American League, I got the Tigers and the
National League. I had the Expos.
And I really didn't care about the Toronto Blue Jays.
I just didn't. I didn't care about them.
I didn't know anything about them.
I just didn't care. I had Toronto in the I mean, I'm
(04:00):
sorry, I had Detroit and I love the Expos and I had the the
Expos almost. Did they make it to the World
Series? They were close.
There was the time when baseballwas going on strike a lot.
Anyway, long story. The whole story, it was the IT
was the baseball strike of 94. The Expos would have probably
won cause on paper they were by.Far the best team and then they
(04:22):
didn't get. There after Toronto just won
back-to-back World Series type of half.
Yeah, I'll get to that as a matter of.
Fact. I'll get to SO.
Anyway, the other day I'm at thethis will be two days ago, but
it's the other day because the podcast comes later.
Somebody said to me two days ago, Oh, it was another guy that
(04:44):
I know at the golf course. Well, I bet you'll be watching
the game tonight. Oh, you mean the Lions game and
he goes Lions game. No, the the Blue Jays.
Oh, I said I hate the Blue Jays.No, I'm not watching the Blue
Jays. Oh.
My God. I don't, I don't care about the
Blue Jays. And he literally said, well,
that's uncanadian. Yeah, How?
(05:05):
Yeah, in a different way than mybecause my wife Ashley would say
the same thing. I don't care.
I didn't know there was a game. Who cares?
Don't like? But she's never already a
baseball fan. Well, I'm a fan.
I mean, my interest in the WorldSeries, to be honest with you,
quite frankly, is they've got this guy playing for the Dodgers
who's. The best player of any sport
(05:28):
ever. He.
Could ever play. He could be one of the greatest
baseball. We don't know yet, but he could
be one of the greatest baseball.Players better than every
baseball player ever. Well, no, he's not better than
Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth pitched and hit home
runs in a World Series, but he'sabout to do that.
Maybe. Maybe.
So I'm curious to watch who I consider to be the greatest
(05:50):
baseball player alive today. And he plays for the Dodgers
playing. Against the son of your favorite
teams. *. Player in Vladimir Guerrero,
senior on the Montreal Expos. Yeah, I don't care about that
now. I will give them.
There are two, there are, listen, there are two Canadians,
(06:13):
people that say you run Canadian.
Look, it's just a, it's a baseball team and it's based in
Toronto, which is a city I, I fundamentally don't like.
I don't know about you guys, butToronto is.
Well, I don't want to live there, but.
Exactly, Yeah. Exactly, and I don't like their
other sports teams. Well, I do see that's that's
where we're. Different.
(06:33):
That's where we're different. That's where we're different.
Anyway, here's a look at this. I've kept it.
This is a ticket to game game four of the World Series 1992
Foreman. I was there.
Wow. I was, yeah.
That's why I kept. It how much did it cost?
Like 6 bucks I. Will tell you what it costs for
(06:53):
those who are spending a lot of money for tickets.
Yeah, $72. I didn't pay for it.
I got to go. Labatt's had something to do
with the Blue Jays. Well, they owned.
Them, they started them. That's why they're the Blue
Jays. Yes, exactly.
And so I was. The Blue Jays won it.
I was cheering for Atlanta. I I will freely admit that I
(07:15):
didn't like them then. I don't like them.
It's nothing. OK, here's my opinion because I
don't really care about sports, as you know, no, but I think
that if, you know, the Blue Jaysare the only Canadian team.
So when the only Canadian team makes it to the World Series of
America is already against them,so all of Canada has to be for
(07:39):
them. Stop.
That's nonsense. I know people who are fans of
the Boston Bruins or It doesn't matter which NHL team you like.
It doesn't have to be Canadian. It doesn't when.
Edmonton's in the Stanley Cup Final.
I'm cheering for them, not Florida.
Well, no, I did too, but only because I can't stand Florida.
(07:59):
If the Canadians at the MontrealCanadiens were in the Stanley
Cup against Florida, I don't like the Canadians.
You know, I'm a Leaf fan. I don't like the Canadians, I
don't like Ottawa. I'll cheer for the Oilers, I
won't cheer for. Ottawa I'll never cheer for.
I'm not cheering for the Leafs. I.
Know exactly? Oh my God, you.
See what I'm saying? It's OK, you know.
(08:19):
You're going to cheer for the, Imean, truth.
I think the Dodgers are going towin because of Shohei Otani.
No, I'm sorry. I know.
But we all know it. And I think you just have to be.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong.
Look, I here's the thing. The guy says to me, You run
Canadian? I said, hey, on a second, the
Seattle team has 2 Canadian baseball players and the Blue
(08:41):
Jays only have one. If I'm cheer for the Seattle,
that makes me more Canadian doesn't it?
It's got more Canadian players. No.
What do? You mean no, they're not our
team? They don't represent us.
They don't. Have the representing the.
Little Red. Thing on their.
Thing stop with that nailer. 'S got it on his belt.
(09:01):
It's a. Logo.
Who cares? It's about even the players talk
about it. They talk about it all the time
and how they know that they theyget to play here for a whole
country. Every other player in baseball
gets to play for a city. Yeah, they play for a country.
They know that they feel. That you can tell them that
they're not playing for the entire country.
(09:22):
OK, everybody, minus Dave. Yeah.
I could probably find two or three others.
And one friggin guy that I used to work with in Halifax who came
from Vancouver, who's. Head to.
Toe him. He was at the game, he was at
Game 7 when the Mariners lost and I enjoyed that because of
him. Oh, he's.
The Mariners. Oh yeah?
Who is he? Well, because he's from
(09:43):
Vancouver. Yeah, of course of.
Course, there's only a couple ofthem there.
Right. Go, Dodgers.
(10:12):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
The podcast That's like a pumpkin.
It looks OK until you get into it and find a sloppy, gooey,
icky crappy mess. But with but with.
Seeds with seeds. That's exactly what I was going
to. Say, yeah, I thought seeds would
be a good thing, yeah. And then you leave it on your
porch till March and then see what it looks like.
(10:34):
Then it rots. Yeah.
You cut it open and then it rots.
Then hey, don't get ahead of what I'm going to use next week.
Oh. Sorry, right.
Yeah, stop. Well, no.
This week I actually would like to know if anyone is or at least
has or would consider faking interest in sports just for the
(10:57):
sake of your partner. Faking it.
Yeah, just fake it. I mean, you, Rachel, you don't
like sports. Jeremy will have curling.
On you. If there's a really important
game of whatever sports can, youjust for his sake should sit
down and pretend you're looking at the TV.
(11:17):
So I actually, we do sit together in the room, in the
living room and watch TV. We don't really.
We have other TV's. We just don't use them like
ever. So I do, I am I, I wouldn't say
that I'm faking interest. I would say I'm being forced to
sit there while he's watching it.
Well, well, I scroll my phone. Are you?
(11:38):
Feigning any interest? No, no.
However, right now I am interested because I do like
baseball. I played a little baseball when
I was a kid and so I will watch baseball and, and the World
Series is it's exciting. So I'll watch that and I'm into
it and Kendall's into it. She's like, if anyone's going
(12:00):
to, you know, if Jeremy's going to have a friend and anyone in
the house, it's Kendall who willwatch sports with him.
Well, that's good. And I was like, you got to teach
her about all this stuff becauselike, nobody taught me.
I didn't have anyone to really teach me this stuff.
And so it's up to you. You got to teach her.
I know he's. Interested.
Sometimes she's 8, same as Kendall, and she'll watch 5 up
(12:21):
to 10 minutes of a hockey game or up to 10 minutes of baseball.
Yeah, and ask. Questions and you're like OK,
I'll I'll mansplain the hell outof this if you really I want the
answer right. Wow.
At least she can fake and dressed.
Yeah, I, I dragged my, my daughter to, I mean, she, I
mean, we travel to baseball games because I love baseball,
(12:43):
as you know, and I like to go and see as many baseball parks
as I can before I can't do that anymore, you know?
So she's been to Fenway Park, but she never cared like 3
innings in. She's like when are we leaving
really? And that's I.
Like going to live events. I think my kids like, they like
it live. Like they'll go and have fun,
(13:06):
Yeah. What about Jana though?
Will she? Does she?
Like it or is. She faking interests.
Jab played baseball. Actually, I have a great story
about Jab. Yeah, I have a great story about
Jana playing baseball. With that, I won't tell 'cause
she gets really mad when I when I tell this story because her
father told it to me and I love it and it tells me everything I
need to know about Jana, but I won't tell it.
(13:26):
But she played baseball. She was a good baseball player.
OK. How are you?
Going to leave us without that story.
You can't. You can't set up a story and
then be like. Yeah, I can't do it.
This is the. Greatest story ever told that
you'll never hear. No, yeah, it's just a really
good story about Jana. That's.
That's what I want. That's what I I will tell you
guys, but not here. I.
(13:49):
Can't. Well, I'm sorry you asked if
Jana watched. She played baseball, was pretty
good ball player, was it so? She watches.
Yeah, to be honest, when we go to the baseball game, she loves
it. As for what's been going on,
like the Tigers were playing, they played Seattle, I had the
games on. She's more into she's all of a
(14:10):
sudden into football now. I don't know why.
Oh, could be the Taylor Swift thing.
She likes the the Kelsey Brothers.
So then she likes Philadelphia, she likes Kansas City.
She has an interest in Detroit. She likes football.
Well, she's all over the place. Yeah, yeah, no.
She doesn't care about any sportat all, period.
No matter what, no matter the team, the sport, what's
(14:32):
happening. Couldn't care less.
And also grew up playing baseball.
Was a pitcher. Oh yeah, I think I knew.
That better I brought. This up on country 104 and
people are like she played, she doesn't watch what I'm like.
Those are two varied just because you played the sports.
I mean, you watch it. Yeah, yeah, it's true, because
(14:53):
Jan Janice Sandwich played the sport.
But she doesn't seem when we go to a ball game, she's there,
she's into it. But when it's on TV.
And some people just coexist. It's like you and Jeremy seem to
coexist their sports on You're not watching, You don't care.
Do you glance at the TV? Yeah, sometimes.
And then like now that it's the World Series with the, you know,
(15:15):
I, I was, I was paying more attention, right.
So, so he was like happy about that because that he wasn't
alone in cheering. Exactly.
Yeah, You know, and I would get.Into with them.
So like someone who called the radio station thought, well I
need better snacks. I need to put out charcuterie
and like have a whole dinner party to get her to come to the
same room as me to watch. Sports.
(15:37):
Yeah, nice charcuterie board. That's a lot, yeah.
Yeah. No, we don't want to see that's
that's not how. It works.
She's like, you know what man? Snacks you want charcuterie.
You get some wine and have some.Cheeses.
Not man snacks. That's not that's not how you
watch. Sports.
No, it isn't. I think it would be better the
(15:57):
way either what Rachel's doing or what another young woman who
called to say. She's like, I go to my he's like
my boyfriend watches football all day every Sunday.
She's like from 1:00 till when it like the whole day, right?
She's like, and I will go there every Sunday.
And she uses it like, it's like a thing in her brain now where
she says as soon as that football theme song starts, it's
(16:21):
time to have a nap. And she sleeps the whole day
beside him. Yep.
But they're there watching football together.
There you go. That works.
Yeah, exactly. You can just fall asleep or just
scroll on your phone, do a little shopping, fill your, fill
some carts, whatever you want. Maybe not that that might be a
bad idea. Why?
Not cards, because that costs. A lot of money.
(16:43):
Well, you don't have to check out.
You just fill the cart, that's all.
Fill like a game and leave it. Is that the game?
Who needs games? Who needs apps, right?
Who needs Word? All we got fill the cart.
Yeah, that's a game that's fun. You do you with anything.
You put stuff in the cart and then just get rid of it like.
Yeah, I just leave it there. Leave it there's, see if they.
(17:05):
Send you an e-mail to give you 10% off nothing that's still
sitting in your. Cart.
Yeah. Hey, did you forget something?
They always send that e-mail. We'll give you 5%.
Everyone right now, don't you guys do that?
I don't know. I don't tend to put anything in
a cart. At all.
Put anything in a cart unless I'm going to buy it, yes.
Because someone else is already doing a lot of that.
Yeah, yeah. What's on sale at this store
(17:29):
today? I don't know until I go to the
website. That's not a thing that I will
fake interest in. So yeah, me either.
Maybe we're better. I can't.
I guess your answer is no then. Yes.
No before. We had stuff on demand.
I watched. I watched 16 and Pregnant.
I watched Teen Mom. I watched all those shows.
With her. And then things became on demand
(17:50):
and I never had to ever again. And I won't.
Maybe you just need a pillow teddy bear.
Yes. You're blankie.
Now we've gotten to the root of it.
I think it's that's enough of delving into Foreman's psyche.
(18:13):
I feel like we've reached, we may have hit a nerve and I don't
feel I want to pursue this any further.
I was no one ever home for foreman because they're always
out in the fucking barn. I didn't.
Want to start? I was just going to say I'll
e-mail your mom but no, don't. Maybe I.
Won't. Don't do that.
She actually emailed us this week.
(18:48):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's the zombie of podcasts. I mean really literally, I mean
a dead radio show brought back to life trying to eat, trying to
eat your brain. You know in in a manner of
speaking, you can run, but you can't hide you.
(19:08):
Can't that's. Right, you can try.
And that's what we said to our daughter earlier tonight, Jeremy
and I. You you can.
Run, but you cannot hide. Yeah, got.
One are you proud of me? Well, that was better.
That was better. So my daughter is 12, right.
Just as yours is, Foreman. Yeah.
And so puberty is a thing happening in our home right now.
(19:30):
What? Yeah.
So. You're more Privy to that than I
am just. Oh really?
You don't know. Say that well.
Well, you know what? No.
Jeremy wants to be involved. He wants to know what you know,
because he wants to. He doesn't want to feel left
out. OK, well tell.
Him, I was full of girls. Well, he tell him, you know,
from experience you want to get too involved.
Yeah, like. I'm I know, but I'm not getting
(19:53):
it. I'm not getting it directly from
the source, you know. No, and I, I don't think he
would because she doesn't reallywant to talk about stuff.
She will to me. And we're very open the all of
us actually about things like that.
And we talked to both kids aboutstuff very freely and openly and
we have for years already. So they're, they probably know
(20:14):
more than most kids their age, Iwould say about age appropriate
things. So.
And we were talking about something tonight in just in the
house, in the in the living roomand making dinner and getting
everything ready. And then I mentioned the word
puberty. I said that's because of
puberty. And this, the look on Julia's
(20:36):
face anytime I use that word is absolute disgust.
And why is that coming out of your mouth, mom?
Like her face is just like, Oh my God.
You know, it's very difficult toembarrass my daughter because I
try in the mornings. And I think I told you this,
when I go to the bus stop, I tryand embarrass her.
(20:57):
I love you, Julia. Have a great day.
I yell it at the, you know, in front of all of her friends.
She doesn't care. It doesn't bother her that
doesn't. And I'm like, oh, I can't even
embarrass her anyway. So saying the word.
Not be doing it right? Well.
Clearly not. Now I might have a new way.
I can give you all kinds of tipson that.
And I guess so that's. For a different, Yeah, you know,
(21:19):
I should write a book, but OK, that's later.
That's later. So we're the word puberty,
though, really just she doesn't like that and she doesn't want
to know that that's what's happening or any, you know, but
we should talk about that, right?
And so all of a sudden, Jeremy starts making up a song about
puberty. There's a lot of singing that
(21:39):
happens in our house, typically not by him.
So this was a little out of character.
And then I just said, well, you know, that's because of puberty.
And he goes puberty. It's because of puberty.
You know, he just starts singingand Julia is horrified.
And then we start singing for 20straight minutes.
Oh no. Who's already gone through
(21:59):
puberty? Mom and dad.
Who's going through it now? Julia.
Who's yet to come, Kendall. It's like the ghost of
Christmas. Past, present and future.
And then just singing all about puberty.
Could we embarrassed Julia more?We get right up in her face and
sing about it. We start twerking in the kitchen
singing about puberty. Me and Jeremy are both twerking
(22:21):
in the kitchen singing about puberty.
And Julia just puts in her headphones, puts in her little
eye, the apple, the eye, whatever those things are.
Airpods. Airpods.
Not even now she's not even paying attention.
And now? And now all of a sudden, Kendall
has thoughts about puberty and what Julia might be.
(22:42):
She starts out and then she starts singing the song with us.
So now three of us are singing the puberty.
It's because you're going through puberty, you know, mom
and dad have already gone through puberty and Kendall will
be going through puberty and we're all, it is just a one big
(23:02):
mess. Well, the tipping point though,
I think for Kendall was the twerking and that she said was
embarrassing. The rest of it she was fine
with. Anyway, so Julia had had it and
really gave us the stink eye after about 20 minutes.
And so then we had to stop because I think she was actually
getting a little angry. Agree with us on and I I'm not
(23:26):
going to pretend that I understand what's going on in a
12 year old's head. I've been there but I don't
remember. But you weren't a 12 year old
girl. No, I wasn't a 12 year old girl,
but I will tell you that there are certain words in the English
language that and I would consider, although I I don't
have any trouble saying puberty myself, but when I hear it
(23:47):
uttered that many times, it starts, it starts to become like
nails, Niels and a chalkboard. And in a sing song.
Yeah, by your parents to the to the point where I I I do want to
apologize to anybody that came across this podcast just now
just. Today, yeah.
Yeah, because there's. If if that's not hilarious that
(24:08):
we're doing it, then this isn't your podcast.
It's probably fine. No, it's like this.
Isn't for you? No, it's fine that you're
singing that. Dying on that hill, but I.
Even I'm just sitting here going, yeah, I've had you don't
have to say it anymore, right I've.
Heard Julia. I've heard it enough.
We could call it something else if you want.
You just. Can't you can't hear it from
(24:28):
your parents suspect. No, that's true, but we want to
normalize it. So we were fine singing about,
you know, this is the kind of stuff that in our we are.
I very much, I don't want them to have shame around any of that
kind of stuff. I want to normalize all this,
normalize talking about it with us.
Totally fine. Everybody goes through it and
then they and we should talk about it.
You want to normalize twerking too?
(24:50):
Because that's something you should never Percy.
Your parents do. I Yes.
I don't think, no, that's hysterical.
We're not good at it. Yeah, I don't think I would like
to see that. I don't think.
It No, Kendall did yeah, she didn't like it, though, of
course. Maybe the first time she thought
it was funny and then did the. Song include like, hey, there's
puberty. Puberty's been all around it,
said mommy, it's his daddy. It's going to hit Kendall soon
(25:12):
and let's list all the side effects.
Puberty. Here we go.
We didn't list side effects, butwe did name who's been through
and not been through it. Yeah.
Hair where there was no hair before, right?
No, we didn't talk about that, no.
Now Dave doesn't want to hear mesay that.
I don't even. Care.
I don't really care. I really should write a song
(25:32):
about this and it should be taught in all schools, you know,
like that's what they, I don't think they're learning enough
about it. There are certain words that
refer to things and you go, Yep,that's the perfect word, right?
Diarrhea. I don't know where that came
from, but that diarrhea is an excellent word.
Yeah, Everybody knows as soon asyou don't have to say it, does
(25:55):
it sounds. Like what it is?
It just is, yeah. Yeah, you're like, oh, that
cannot be good, but all. Right.
I don't know who came up with puberty, but I wish they had
come up with a better. I just, I know.
You could, yeah. Yeah, it just doesn't.
Right. Yeah, well, there's puberty and
then the next thing in our housewill be perimenopause and
(26:16):
that'll be a new, new song. Like, also something we don't
talk about enough. Just saying.
No, but I already hate the song.Please.
Don't sing that one you. Haven't gotten there yet, I'll
let you know when we do. This is due to underwhelming
(26:54):
demand, the podcast that will never, ever remind you to move
your clock back or forward. Because who needs reminding?
We have computers, we have smartphones, we have
smartwatches, we have smart TV's, we have smart appliances.
They do it all for us. There's no need to be reminded
to move your clock back or forward unless and even actually
(27:17):
even if you wear a tinfoil hat like Foreman.
You you don't even have to adjust the the clock on your
microwave, right? Am I right for you?
You don't have to do that. OK, 12:00 all the time.
Somebody else I know doesn't have a microwave, and they heard
that you don't have a microwave.And they were like, yeah, we
don't need one either. And I was like, OK, pardon me.
(27:37):
If you're only the second. Person I've ever heard of.
Anyway, guaranteed. I I guarantee you that someone,
some talking head on TV or or some talking mouth on the radio
is going to at some point say don't I forget, move your and I,
what are we back? You can.
Bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to put the share meme up.
If that could turn back time. Don't do that.
(28:01):
Because you should turn them back this but.
You can't. But you don't have to remind
anybody. It's done for you.
Stop it, Foreman. Don't do it.
Please don't do it. I beg you not.
On the radio. Yes, do not say it.
Oh that was going to be my one and only topic that last day
before the time change. Not to say it, or to say it
(28:21):
anyway. I'm not saying.
Just. Just saying not.
Saying shit. OK, good.
Anyway. Saying shit.
Yeah, we didn't any. Shame on you for thinking, you
know, you think that's the kind of show I'm running.
No, I knew it. I knew you wouldn't.
Do that do you think this? Is I know that I trained you
well. I knew you wouldn't do that.
You shouldn't do that. Please don't do that.
(28:43):
But no one will hear. Me and yet and yet there will be
people who sleep in. Oh yeah.
I get up early. Wait a minute.
And how that works I never really care.
I don't remember. All that.
This podcast, by the way, as youcan tell, is unsponsored.
This fine podcast that never reminds you to do any of that
crap is unsponsored again. How could that happen?
(29:03):
Well, you're asshole, that's why.
Well, that could be maybe that'swhat people listen and that's
why they don't sponsor. Anyway, go to our website or you
can reach out to us. Our website isunderwhelming.ca
where you can e-mail us. Rachel, right?
Dave.rachelforeman@gmail.com Youcan, yeah.
And our last sponsor actually was Intuition Nutrition.
Jenna Zyka is a dietitian there and she owns the business or she
(29:27):
began the business anyway. And she wrote to us right after
the last episode. She just said, I wanted to say
sponsorship of your podcast works.
We had multiple listeners attendour Fall into Nourishment event
because they heard about it on the podcast.
Please thank them again for joining us.
It meant a lot to meet them, especially as fellow due to
(29:49):
underwhelming demand podcast listeners, we all agreed how
your podcast makes us smile and laugh.
So thanks guys. That's awesome.
Thank you, Jenna. Thank you.
We should just end now and go out on a high.
But I know we I know we won't. But.
We don't like to do that. No.
Sink our own ship. Yeah, well, thank.
You Jenna, Jim Bag, certainly a glutton for punishment because
he bought us 5 coffees. Jim Bag?
(30:11):
Oh yes, but he didn't like us last time, right?
No. He said say something nice lol.
This used to be for a non TaylorSwift podcast.
OK if gym bag can give us buy uscoffees.
Yes. When he doesn't like the
content, so can you. Yes.
Yes, that's very true. Exactly.
(30:33):
Trueunderwhelming.ca there's a link.
There and if Dave from Elmer who's now in Sudbury can go all
the way to Sudbury and still listen and buy us another 5
coffees. Oh my goodness, this week, thank
you. Can't that's.
Because pod bean subscription. Because we want you guys to keep
bringing the funny Dave now in Sudbury and go to hockey,
Rachel. Go to hockey.
(30:56):
Yeah, I'm going next month. I want to thank Jim Bag for
bringing Taylor Swift up again. He's the one that keeps bringing
it up. So thank you, Jim Bag for doing
that. Still a Taylor Swift podcast?
Yeah. And by the way, did you hear the
news from last week that if you next summer, if you find
yourself at Cedar Point or Darien Lake, you'll be directly
financially contributing to the Taylor and Travis machine?
(31:19):
Why? Because he bought a 9% stake and
Six Flags. Interesting.
OK, And they own Canada's Wonderland now, right?
Six Flags. Yeah, I think so.
I think you're right. They do.
The thing? Oh, great.
So they're getting you no matterwhere you go, hey.
Chin bag, You should go to Canada's Wonderland.
(31:42):
OK, Joanne sent us a wedding. To pay for.
A wedding? Yeah, they do.
Really. They need money.
Joanne sent us a message via ourwebsite.
You can go to the website underwhelming.ca.
You can contact us there, leave a message and it comes right to
our e-mail inbox, she says. I just wanted to start with
thank you. You 3 kill me and I love your
(32:03):
podcast. It never disappoints.
The reading of Kia Pete inspiredme to look for this book for my
niece. Well who would have known there
was such an array of French fartbooks?
Thank you for that. I'm glad you found it, Joanne.
Good for you. Yeah, and on that topic, by the
way, Karen, who the book came from, from her school, OK, did
(32:27):
send us a link for the Canadian company that the book is from.
Oh, and it's weird because there's actually a newer edition
of the book compared to the one you've heard.
But she said I'm going to contact the author and ask what
the differences between the two are.
So I guess we'll see. But it's from Archambo
archambault.ca. Archambo, Archambo.
(32:50):
Arch A MB AUL. T name.
Clearly I'm saying it wrong. That's besides the point.
OK, well maybe the people who read Guillapete could tell us
how to do that not. Everyone's thrilled with us
though. Melissa sent me a message to say
Foreman. I just watched the podcast and
you are hating on Twix. Those are my absolute favorite.
(33:12):
Booty or Coffee Crisp? You don't like Twix?
I love Twix. Twix suck.
No, I like Twix. I like that.
I would take a Twix over a Coffee Crisp any day.
Never, never did. My.
Favorite Halloween candies are Reese's Pieces, no Reese's.
Cups. Peanut butter cups, yes.
And oh, Henry's or Wonder Bar because you don't get those
(33:34):
other than it. Like I never see them any other
time other than Halloween. Wonder Bar.
Yeah, because they're peanut butter.
You know what's good and you never see anymore?
Not crunchy but or crispy crunch, but crunch.
Oh, just. Crunch with the blue and.
White wrapper. Yeah.
Yeah, OK. I think they had like it was
like dried rice or something in it.
I. Think it was like Rice Krispies,
(33:55):
isn't it? Wasn't.
It Yeah. Yeah, or something like that.
Interesting. OK, yeah, we have an e-mail from
well, you look that up, Foreman.What are my favorite people?
Foreman's mom. Great.
Can we make an intro for this? Because I would like to have.
We should make an intro for it. Emails from Foreman's mom.
(34:15):
Oh, look who clopped on in. I'm.
Going to put that together, OK, She says.
Dear Dave, Rachel and Foreman, Iloved your last pre Halloween
episode. Foreman's dad and I, Foreman's
mom used to thoroughly enjoy adult Halloween parties hosted
by our rural friends. They had a no invitation
(34:38):
required adult party every year.Everyone of course came in
costume. There was no speaking for the
first half our first hour of theparty as you tried to guess who
was inside each costume. Voices are a dead giveaway, so
you couldn't talk. Foreman's dad had dressed up as
a baby, including pulling a noisy dog toy, wearing a diaper,
etcetera, etcetera. He got first prize one time.
(35:00):
He dressed up as an equestrian. Go figure, on a cardboard horse.
Foreman was also there in utero.So good when I dressed up as a
clown. There's photos, by the way,
which I will post. I had no mask.
I wore clown face makeup, a baldskullcap with orange French
hair. No one could guess who I was.
(35:22):
I had to be very careful to stand up quickly when another
character sat on my lap so the future Foreman would not be
squished. We played adult games that were
a riot. Lots of fond memories.
Lots of fun prizes, too. And those costumes were recycled
in 1991. Guess which one is Foreman?
And here's a photo of Foreman. And and I guess it's your
(35:43):
sisters, but everyone's dressed up and you are a little clown.
Do you remember that? I do recall a picture of my
father just as a baby, but I never knew why.
That's here too. I didn't.
Realize they went to adult parties playing adult games or
no ones allowed to talk. And he was.
There's something extremely off putting about all of that.
(36:07):
And here it's a photo of Foreman's Christmas.
Foreman's family Christmas, family Halloween.
Not anyway. She also says I am totally with
Rachel regarding freezing butter.
I too buy it when it's under $5 and freeze it.
I've got 12 lbs of butter in my freezer right now.
That's that's very good, in addition to my favorite.
(36:27):
Brand 12 lbs of butter. Fake things Christmas is coming
up. In addition to my favorite brand
of coffee ice cream that I also stock up on when it's under $5.
Bought butter goes rancid when it's in the fridge too long.
Frozen butter, just like frozen breast milk, can be kept
indefinitely. You're a faithful fan, Foreman's
(36:47):
mom, Kathy. Thank you, Kathy.
She. Had to throw that.
Breast milk one more time that she is on board with every all
of this stuff and I love the photos.
Foreman, I will be posting the one of you for sure.
No wonder Foreman needs a friendto watch baseball.
We were going to get the other messages, but she just ruined
them. That night came the honeymoon.
(37:21):
She's faking it.
