(00:00):
I loved your tweet today about the windshield.
This made me laugh, it's so true.
Mine. Didn't you do PUT post something
about? Oh, Ashley didn't know.
Ashley had no idea. Hey look I need windshield
washer and I don't know where that goes or what to do.
Really. She's never had to put that in?
Nope. Nope.
It's always been you. A for me and then or it's like

(00:24):
This is why I love her. And so this morning, you know, I
I showed her, I made her do it with me.
Oh, wow. Did she retain any of that
information? No.
I used to have to do. My dad would make me do it.
Yeah, like, look here, this thing with the giant universal
symbol for washer fluid, that's where it goes.
That's where it goes. She didn't.

(00:45):
Care. She didn't retain it.
She will not ever do it again onher own, no.
That's funny. This is due to underwhelming
demand with Dave Rachel informing the podcast.
That's like March break. Not everyone gets it.
Yes. And that.

(01:08):
What? That and I caught you off guard
and it's still funny. That's.
Still funny. It's actually funnier.
It is funnier it. Actually isn't funny anytime.
I don't know why you keep doing it.
OK, it's funny. It is funny.
And this wonderful, very funny podcast is brought to you by

(01:33):
Rachel. Cavs for a cause, of course,
coming up very soon. April 3rd is when the auction is
happening. They have a couple of them.
They've got a live sale April 2nd at the Canadian Dairy Expo
in Stratford. They're doing it in Stratford
again and the live sale is April2nd. 7:00 PM. 7:00 PM in.

(01:54):
Stratford, or also online at dlms.ca.
Oh yeah, get your cows on. That's right.
Well, if you're in need of a calf, there you go.
But before that, if you like to inspect the merchandise, there
is a Sale Calf Parade live from the Canadian Dairy Expo April
1st at 7:00 PM. That sounds fun.

(02:14):
I wonder if they dress them up. Only one way to find out.
That's true, might have to go. It would be like the Swan
parade. They probably do that around
that time too. April Swans aren't really
dressed up, Rachel. They're.
I know, but it's a parade of animals.
It's. A parade.
That's fun. It's a parade, right?
OK, so but these are calves. And if you don't want an actual

(02:37):
calf, maybe you just want the genetics of a calf.
That frozen genetic sale closes April 3rd.
That's online. What are you laughing at online
at farm? Gate everything you say.
Farm Gate Timed Auctions is where the frozen genetic sale is
that closes April 3rd so you cancheck it out Calves for A Cause
on Facebook on Instagram. It's a fundraiser.

(02:58):
So do. It it is a fundraiser for the
Children's Hospital here in London, which service serves
kids and takes in kids from a lot of Ontario, pretty much half
of Ontario. And so far, Darrell and Sarah
Marcus have raised over $150,000for Children's Hospital just
through this sale so. It's really like the entire

(03:18):
dairy industry getting behind Children's Hospital.
It's. Fantastic.
Amazing. Listen, it's March.
Whoop Dee Doo. Yeah, big.
Deal, huh? And does anybody spring clean
anymore? I mean, it used to be a thing.
It's kind of like when you can do it outside and yeah, you're

(03:39):
grilling at the garage and and then you get stuff in and out of
the basement and things like that, yeah.
It's more of an outdoor. Thing maybe?
In the spring. Yeah, I I want to get into the
garage. I got to get everything off the
floor and power wash the floor like it's filthy.
That's what I want to do in the spring.
When are you going to do that? I don't know when I can put
everything on the lawn which is covered in snow still or ice.

(04:02):
OK, well, I just wondered whether anybody spring cleans as
much. And then I came across this
thing that said 1/3 of the stuffwe own, this is just, you know,
some sort of they they, they asked people and said, do you
have stuff at home that you don't use?
Turns out, yeah, 1/3 of what we have in our house we don't

(04:28):
really use, nor do we want True.Believe that False.
Oh, I know. That sounds about right, yeah.
I'm forever trying to purge crapfrom my home.
Are you? Yes.
And how's that going? Well, I somehow find more.
I don't know, there's still endless amounts for some reason.
There's always more coming in. Yeah, but I don't.

(04:49):
Want. I did.
I saw something recently that millennials are very
minimalistic compared to their parents because our parents
would have Knick knacks everywhere and just like things
sitting around. Yeah, I don't have that
heirlooms, and millennials aren't really into that kind of
stuff, you know? I don't know.
There's an awful lot of stuff onthose shelves behind you, David.

(05:13):
Yeah, that's well, I have some books back there and movies.
Maybe I have. I have some movies back.
Look, I agree some of that stuffcan go, but this isn't this room
is not the worst room. We have a room downstairs where
there's toy. There's still toys from when
Charlotte was. I don't know 10.

(05:34):
Yeah, she's 18 now. Well, I know and she's looking,
as a matter of fact, my granddaughter, yes, my
granddaughter loves that room 'cause there's.
Well, maybe you should keep themfrom her because when she comes
over, she comes. She has something to play with.
Time to get rid of them. You gotta get rid of.
This my mom says to me, well, bring some of the toys here that
you're getting rid of and and then the kids can play when

(05:54):
they're here, dude. 'Cause then it's still you're
not you. All you're doing is giving that
to her. Yeah.
You know what's gonna happen? She's going to give it back.
Oh my God, when she moved from like the home I grew up in and
they were moving out, the amountof crap that she would just dump
at my doorstep. Well, I'm cleaning this room
out. This is all yours from grade 4.

(06:16):
I don't want this. I don't want this.
What's yours have? This.
It's yours? Yeah, we have a lot of stuff.
Gives it to me. We have a lot of stuff that we
and we hang on to, a lot of stuff that we hang on to because
we think, well, it has sentimental value, but we don't
do anything with it. Right, it's.
Sentimental. But what do I do with it?
Right? It's just here.

(06:37):
So we had this room and the roomneeds to be.
And we have both said over the last three weeks we got to clean
out that room. And to be honest with you, I'm
the one here during the day. Right, right.
So it's your. Job.
You know me. You know me, Rachel, better than
anybody. I I went down there one day last

(06:57):
week. I went down there and I looked
at it and went, I got to do something about that room.
I closed the door in there and do.
That's what I was. That's exactly what I did.
I. Closed it.
Closed the door. And thought, well, that was
good. Now I don't see it anymore.
Perfect. Yeah.
Perfect. Yeah, yeah.
That's all you need to do. Well, there's stuff that I just
don't want to deal with it do. You know what, Because dealing

(07:19):
with something like that has to be so thorough and so you can't
just half ass that I know you can't just right.
You've got to spend like a full day.
You're going through the whole thing, organizing it.
You sound like my wife. Yes, it's a pain that takes
time. Yeah, we're going down this
weekend. Okay, I've gotta play.

(07:39):
That works out. Especially in a house like that
where you haven't moved in decades.
Yeah, you've lived there for howlong?
Right. You'd think we would be in a
good spot because we've moved quite often.
Yes, that's right. We've only been here.
For, I don't know, a year and a bit now we're only in Halifax
for 2 1/2. Our house in Saint Thomas before

(08:00):
we were there for. Good got rid of lots of good 10.
Years, but we've gotten rid of so much stuff, and yet there's
still so much stuff here right now that's absolutely
unnecessary. We do have boxes that are still
unpacked though. Yes.
Really. Do you have boxes that you
didn't unpack in Halifax and arestill they moved with you and

(08:22):
are not unpacked now? Yes, and it's all my stuff.
I'm aware of that. It's my shit.
It's my crap. It's like boxes of CDs and
Ashley's. Like why do we have these CDs?
Because they're they're good. They're CDs.
They're never I own. This musical Yeah, I know
labeled I have them like a wow, A to N and then and Oh yeah, I

(08:42):
got them all. Artists.
In terms of artists, I guess, yeah.
Yeah, I think so. I think so.
But I also have like if you guyswere ever in a golf tournament,
I I've got golf clubs for you and probably you're foursome so
oh, I could use some. I don't have any clubs.
Together. Oh yeah.
I could look after you, Foreman.Yes, please.
No problem. I.
Didn't realize you had so many golf clubs.
I got way too much of everything.

(09:03):
As you know, I am a golfer now, so I could maybe use some of
those. Don't waste them on Rachel.
Get into Foreman. Not a golf.

(09:28):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
We are a podcast where Dave, Rachel and Foreman and this fine
podcast is brought to you once again and we appreciate this by
Intuition Nutrition. Yes, Jenna Lyka is the dietitian
with Intuition Nutrition. She owns the business.

(09:48):
They just want to promote healthy eating, right?
Intuitive eating. And so now they actually have a
registered social worker who is working with them and you can
have sessions with her. Her name is Dominique and she
has a passion for supporting individuals on their journey to
mental Wellness. Sometimes losing weight or maybe
eating differently might come with some maybe mental

(10:11):
blockages, right? Maybe you have to unlearn some
things. Maybe she could help you do
that. So when you sign up with
Intuition Nutrition, they've gotpackages that include dietitian
and social worker, or perhaps you could just talk to the
social worker. You can definitely only talk to
the dietitian if you want, but they've got a lot going on at
Intuition Nutrition and they keep growing.

(10:33):
And by the way, whenever you usea dietitian or a registered
social worker, it's typically covered by your benefits.
Yes, I see that. Yeah, that's very true.
Yeah. And so your benefits probably
reset in January this year, right, So and if you don't lose
it or don't use it, you lose it.So if you're thinking, thinking
of doing any dietitian services,maybe you want to talk to a

(10:55):
social worker about eating or Wellness or nutrition of, you
know, anything kind of to do with diet, they would be the
ones to help you out. Intuition Nutrition.
So you can check out their website, intuitionnutrition.ca.
Dominique is the social worker. Jenna is the dietitian.
They have another dietitian there whose name is Jess.
So they're growing, 'cause when Jenna first started with us, it

(11:18):
was just her. Oh, it shows how much we're
working, by the way, that she's still all coming back.
Right. Well, I hope it's helping.
Yeah, but she. Does a lot of courses like for
moms and new moms and you know how to eat with a baby because
you're so busy all the time. Well, with Dominique, her
passion is menopause, so really helping you through that life
transition and helping break free from die culture, anxiety,

(11:39):
depression, yeah, other difficult life transitions.
You can see her in person. You can even see her just
virtually. You can even have an appointment
in the evening. They're open to whatever you
need. And menopause.
Is something we don't talk aboutbecause I can tell you now that
I don't know a lot about it and but we always.
You're about to. I know, but like but nobody
tells you about this stuff. You know, I know a little.

(12:00):
Bit, you know, a little, Yeah, No, it tells you ahead of time.
Like they talk about puberty andall that when you're in school.
They don't tell you about menopause.
I know a little bit, but I'm notnot as much as, you know,
intuition nutrition knows. No, they would know more.
And we? Probably covered by your
benefits. That's right.
They must be doing, they must bedoing things right the because
they continue to grow. So check them out again.

(12:23):
Intuitionnutrition.ca is their website. intuitionnutrition.ca.
They're on Facebook and Instagram as well.
And I guess we're doing something right.
Maybe this is due to underwhelming demand.
The podcast that's like Saint Patrick's Day.
We're way better with lots of green beer, trust me.

(12:46):
Mm hmm. I'm having a beer.
It's not green. Though there you go, it's a
green. Beer McCann.
Green beer. It's a.
Moose every purchased while the GST holiday was still in effect.
I stocked up. You're damn right on the very
last day. I am drinking Mill Street which
is another Canadian. That's a Canadian brew beer.
Yeah, that's a Canadian brew. That's.
What we're all looking for now, sure.

(13:08):
I was Googling today because ourrefrigerators died.
Oh boy. What refrigerators are made in
Canada? Turns out only very specific
boutique and extremely expensiveones.
So maybe you just look at what'snot made in the States like me,
somebody said. Meal you need you.
Need my new app? You can't see it on here because
it's too bright. There's an app that somebody's

(13:29):
put together. It's called OO on its own.
Scanada scanned it. I'll look it up.
You can get it for Apple and foryour phone too.
They're Foreman. Android.
Yeah, for Android. That's to scan things in the
store in. Person to make and it'll.

(13:50):
It will give you an idea whetherit's Canadian or not if you're
looking. If you were shopping online by
the way and want to find things on Amazon and things that are
Canadian, if you go to supportcanadianextension.ca.
It's a. Browser extension.
It. Was created by University of
Waterloo student. It braises all the Canadian

(14:13):
results on whatever website you're using online shopping and
puts them right at the top. Well.
As featured on CTV News and CityNews 570.
I'm going to download that rightnow.
Thanks for you. Now, Dave, your Scanada thing.
Yes. I think there's another one too,
right? There's a couple there's.
Several of you, I don't know. There's a.
Maple scan is another one. There's a bunch of those ones,

(14:35):
sure, but they will not automatically flag an expiry
date. They'll have to look.
On your own. For one of those, yeah, OK,
which can be especially hard to detect if, say, it was
discovered at the bottom of an old freezer.
OK. Oh, Foreman, OK.

(14:58):
I'm gonna guess it's not your freezer.
I need to circle back or whatever that is that we need to
do here. I need to circle back here for a
second. All right?
Because you switched on me. Kind of.
You caught me off guard there and well done.
Good. You're right.
Ding, Ding, Ding. Rachel.
Yeah. Whose freezer did you find?
Something expired at the at the bottom of.

(15:19):
My mother's and she found it herself.
Oh, she did. I'm surprised she told you.
She did not, and in fact, this story has to come with the
disclaimer from the person who did.
OK, Do they have to remain anonymous?
This person says make sure to mention that your Aunt Sandra
wasn't the one to tell you, but the person who did shall remain

(15:44):
nameless. OK, I like Aunt Sandra already.
Yeah, I like her. Oh yeah, she's a good.
Time What did we find in Mom's freezer?
Well, that's part of the game right now, because then we're.
Not sure what. It is.
Well, the rest of this is OMG. Sandra just told me something

(16:04):
very, very funny that would makefor excellent podcast content.
OK, but. She didn't want you to know my
mother. It's something she found in her
freezer. Dot dot dot you would die.
Okay, what is it? I'm on the edge of my seat.
So to be clear, it's not my aunt, it's my mom's freezer and

(16:29):
she didn't want me to know because she said I would
publicly shame her, which we're in the middle of right now.
We're clearly, of course we're going to publicly I'm.
Sorry Kathy, you're still my favorite emailer.
That's what we do for a lively. We do publicly shame everybody.
Anybody close to us? Yes, it's.
Just what we If you would like us for that service, send us an
e-mail. Leave us a message, send us a

(16:50):
voice memo. We've got you.
We will publicly shame your loved ones.
Shame. Shame.
What do you think it could be? An old like an old roast.
Way older, OK. Way older, just an old roast,
like I don't know, like a. Roast sweet I I don't know that
that would have an expiry date on.

(17:11):
It there's not a date printed onit.
But. It's very apparent that it's
very old. And I but I.
Some old like pierogies in a box.
No, before I start guessing. No, no, You want me to guess the
cut of food that was? I feel like pierogies are a
roast. I feel like if it's in the.
Freezer. Give it a go.
No, some old hot dogs. No, because if it's in, no stop.

(17:33):
If it's in the freezer, who cares?
It's in the freezer. Well, it's true, it does keep it
right? Like how bad could it be?
How bad can it be? Yeah, well, but.
Keep in mind it's something she found in her freezer.
I would die. She doesn't want me to public.
Please shame her salad. Dressing.
No, we've not been there, done that.
Well, I don't, I don't know, butI'm literally taking a stab at

(17:56):
the wind. Here, yeah, I don't, I can't
think of anything that would be in the freezer if it's in, how
bad can it be if it's I mean. It can be.
It can be expired I guess. Oh.
Geez. No freezer, No.
And keep in mind. No guesses, I'm the only one.
Guessing her home is literally the same age as me.
The freezer isn't, however. Freezer's newer.

(18:19):
It's become trickier now. I don't know.
The freezer is older than the home.
No, the Freezer's newer. Newer than the home and.
I remember being like a teenager, whatever and cleaning
up their old chest freezer and there was like frozen fish in
there. Literally it says like 1982 it
was. Oh my God, this isn't.

(18:40):
This isn't quite that old, but almost.
So almost when you were a teenager, which was like 20
years ago. No, no, almost mid 80s.
OK. Oh, it's from the 80s, Yes.
So she transferred it from the old freezer to the new freezer
and then left it. Yes, they made the transfer to
freezers and is still there today.

(19:01):
Old like cookies that someone made and froze.
No. Cookies.
I don't know. They don't even go bad.
And nothing really goes bad in afreezer, so I don't know what.
I'm going to do here an Oreo goes bad.
It might get a little stale, butit doesn't.
Go bad. Let me give you a big frozen
soup. No, I'll give you a big honking
hint, all right? It was food, but it was food

(19:23):
only meant for me. Pizza pops.
Dave knows. Baby food.
Dave knows, yeah, but it's breast milk from when I was a
baby. I knew as soon as he said that
I. Knew I'm like it's breast.

(19:45):
Milk. He's talking about breast milk.
Wow. Watch this on.
YouTube for Rachel's face right there.
Oh my goodness. I have no words.
There are no words to describe. I'm not sure what I'm most
disturbed about. I'm not sure if I'm more
disturbed that there's. Breast milk intended for Foreman

(20:10):
in someone's freezer today, or that there's just breast milk
for Foreman. I don't know in general what I
find more disturbing. I hope he was a baby at some
point and you can, I can't. Quite picture that.
All I wouldn't recommend keepingit for 40 years now.

(20:30):
Is the foreman I know and this is his breast milk.
No, now you're picturing Foremandrinking breast milk.
That's what you're picturing. No, no give.
Him a bottle. I had never.
No, I was not. Picturing that, picture it with
the bottle. Yeah, but thank you for thank
you for giving me that picture. Wow, Foreman, that's the best

(20:54):
answer ever. No.
Did they have very good pumps back then?
Like I don't know how that. Stop making us think about that.
That's the wrong thing to talk about, Rachel.
I don't even know why. Why?
Why would that be? Why would that be the first
thing that pops into your head? Don't use.

(21:14):
Do you not see? Never mind.
What were the pumps like in 1985?
What were they like anyway? The next thing I'm going to go
does. Your mom know that you know
this. Well, she does now.
She does now. And it didn't come from Sandra
it. Didn't come from Sandra.

(21:48):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's Dave, Rachel, inform. And this is the podcast that's
like the weather in March. It's all over the place.
It's up, it's down. We really are today, yeah.
Yeah, it's good. It's bad.
It's happy, it's sad. Yeah, it's ugly.
It's. Beautiful.
It's terrible. Yeah.
Yeah. It's beautiful.
It's terrible. Well, another thing that's kind

(22:08):
of all over the place lately is the content that I'm allowing my
children to watch. One bell.
I don't know, I think it all seems to be heading down the
same Rd. actually. What do you mean?
Well, we started at murder mystery.
Yes, yes. And now, what's the latest thing

(22:30):
they've seen? Well, what is your barometer for
what you allow your kids to takein?
Right, Because we at home generally we don't allow them to
go on regular YouTube unless it's on the on the main TV that
we can see. They have to use kids YouTube.
And so and like swearing and things like if there's somebody

(22:51):
swearing it, we're like, Nope, change it.
And they know now, like, OK. Well, the biggest thing that
we're on now is that we started watching it with her, and now,
because we've already watched the whole series and there's six
seasons twice, this is our thirdtime now we've kind of trailed
off and let her start watching episodes by yourself.
It's Harley who's 11, and it's Schitt's Creek, which is

(23:15):
delightful. Yes.
No, no, I mean, and she's watching the uncensored.
Yeah, I mean, there are, there'sthe odd swear word and there's
quite a few adult situations andyou and you watch her face and I
don't think she's quite understanding all the jokes.
Get it? I mean, I never understood.
Look, I will tell. You.
Yeah, We don't really get it. I will tell you before you you
go into this because I remember you guys, we had a conversation

(23:38):
I think at one point where you weren't allowed to watch, say,
when you were kids, The Simpsons, no.
I wasn't allowed. To watch Absolutely not allowed
my. Kids, I let my kids watch The
Simpsons and I'll tell you why Isat with them.
They want it was a cartoon. They wanted to watch it.
So I thought, OK, well, I'll watch with them.
And their mother was concerned at the time, so I watched it

(24:00):
with them. I and I was laughing my hat off.
You know, I'd never seen it before.
I think it was reasonably new. And I'm, I was laughing and I
was watching my kids and they were looking at me and they
don't laugh necessarily when dadlaughs because they, unless it's
something that's very funny, they didn't get it.

(24:20):
No, they watched it. They didn't get it.
I'm laughing at it. And so I went up to their mother
and I said, you know, I think they're OK.
They don't get it. They're, you know, and I think
they'll tire of it because it's over their head.
It's not dirty. It's not.
It's it's. Remember some of the songs we

(24:41):
used to sing as teenagers and I or like tweens like my my
daughter's 11 now my. Thing was I always so you can go
ahead, but my thing was always Idon't think they get it and if
they don't get it then you can explain it away when they ask.
Yeah, and I think besides the swear words, they don't, she

(25:01):
doesn't get a lot of the shit's Greek stuff specifically.
And even if she does, like it's all wrapped up in a in a really
good message anyway. So in the end, the end of an
kind of like The Simpsons used to do, like the end of his
episode, they would kind of wrapthings up nicely.
Sure. And there's still a good message
to carry with you after that. So I think those are kind of
those are fine, Yeah. So I there's been a couple

(25:24):
things recently that my husband has questioned me about allowing
our children to watch. And the first one was at
Christmastime, I said to Julia, not Kendall's only 7, Julia's
11. I said we should watch Christmas
Vacation the movie. Of course.
Absolutely. Because it's a classic, you
haven't seen it and and lately. But it's a great life lesson.

(25:46):
I mean, that's, that's a great life lesson.
OK. This is what it's like to have a
fun old fashioned family Christmas.
Sure. Yes, it doesn't turn out.
Very well. And lately we've been
introducing them to movies that are kind of classic movies.
And and one day she did say to me, what else did you watch as a
kid? Let's watch that.
So she would want to watch different things.
So I, I was like, OK, watch Christmas vacation.

(26:07):
And Jeremy said to me upfront, there's a lot of swearing in
that. And I was like, yeah, but Julia
knows like she's it's OK, it's not Ken.
And he's like, I don't think so.I, I but OK, like, it's up to
you, Rach. So I let her watch it.
And then came the part where thegirl, he was looking out
dreaming of the pool and the girls in the bathing suit.

(26:28):
And then she starts taking off the bathing suit and he looks at
me like, and I'm like, oh, I didn't remember that part.
OK, let's Fast forward that. That's nothing.
They're bathing, Zoof. It's the window.
It's nothing. It's.
A. Dream but it's not yes but not
true an 11 year old who's never seen that before right so I'm
like OK what yes so we're not I'm like OK we're going to ask

(26:50):
for. That did she ask any questions
about? That she heard Dad say, and then
she knew that it was like something she probably
shouldn't. It was risque, right?
She knew. She knew that, that she didn't
ask because it was kind of a thing like between the three of
us in the room that day. Did she?
Ask why your house is always parked in the same place.
My house, Yeah. Why don't we ever move anywhere,

(27:12):
Mom? So then this weekend we went to
go see the play because we love theatre in our family, as you
know, and musicals. I took them to see West Side
Story. Now the theatre.
Company the 11 year old. Both of them, yeah, we took A7.
Year old to see West Side Story.Isn't that like a year gang war?

(27:32):
Yeah, that's, it's a, it's a gang war.
Yeah, it's based on Romeo and Juliet.
So people die, play people die. Great music, great movie.
Absolutely. Whole thing classic.
Called Great Musical. But you have to be sort of the
right age. Uh huh.
So we. Went in seven, Certainly not
that age. Well, I can tell you she was the

(27:53):
youngest one in the room, I would think, yeah.
Was she? Did you include her in the
murder mystery? Yep, we sure did.
Well then she's probably fine. She wasn't sure how to play it.
She's desensitized to it now. She's desensitized.
So we're watching the play and it was the theater company that
my daughter goes to. This was the teenage play.

(28:14):
So it was the teens that were doing this one.
It was an they did an excellent job.
Really, really well done. I was very impressed with the
talent, the level of talent. So yeah, it was really good.
So, but in the middle of it, youknow, OK.
Hang on a second for anybody whohas not seen West.
Side Story spoiler. Spoiler alert.

(28:36):
How have you not seen what? If you haven't seen West Side
Story, it's based on Romeo and Juliet.
And if you haven't read Romeo and Juliet, like perhaps you
didn't go to English class and people die.
Romeo and Juliet. OK, yeah, people die.
OK, anyway, so. Tell us what happens at the end
of Christmas vacation. Well, how?

(28:56):
Many things you gonna spoil tell.
How this ends? West Side Stories from 1957.
Yes. Spoiler alert, yeah.
Spoiler alert, yeah. Yeah, anyway, so.
So Kendall looks at me as the first person dies.
She goes, what happened? I said he died.
She's like, Oh my gosh. And then I can't remember his
before or after that. They get into a fight, right.
Or it was before that, I guess, with the knives.

(29:17):
And so they these these. Kids.
Two of them die. Two of them die.
Well, this yes, that's what happened.
So spoiler Dave, spoiler I'm. Just telling you right.
Two of them. Familiar with the play?
Yes. So two of them die.
So they flip out the knives and Kendall looks at me like, Oh my
God, they have knives. I said, don't worry, they're
just props. Like they're.
And then Julia said to us afterwards, yeah, they were.

(29:38):
The kids were running around with the prop knives and showing
us how they worked during rehearsal because they were each
rehearsing at the same time at the same place.
So she's like, they go in, Kendall, they just like, go in.
So it does, it looks like you'restabbing, but you're not.
And she's like, OK, we have to kind of spoil the magic of the
theater for Kendall a little bitto make her feel better.
And then they die. She's been to a murder mystery,

(29:58):
she knows, but. We didn't have fake knives that
are murdered. Being off at your place all the
time. And she's going to wish she had
the knives, yes. Right, yes.
And then another person dies in the play, and so that was a
shocker. But that's at the end, right?
So at the end, near the end, so then the play ends and Kendall

(30:19):
looks at me and she goes, what happened?
He said, well, they all died. And she's like, what?
He said, yeah, they died. And she's like.
They did that, wants to go see West Side Story.
I thought they doesn't have a happy ending.
Just saying. I said, well, they were faking
because they're they're acting it, but they're like in the

(30:39):
play, the characters die and she's like, what?
And then I said, well, that's what happens when you get
involved in a gang. You're going to die, so don't do
that. And they kind of looked at me
well. Done, Rachel.
That's. What happens when you get
involved? With a gang.
Well, don't, right? Like what?
Do I tell them when your whole family sits down, which I assume
you're going to do soon, to watch scream, we're going.

(31:02):
To watch scream. However, Greece might be on the
way and Jeremy wasn't really up up for letting them watch Greece
because they haven't seen Greeceyet.
I, I don't know, I think there'sa lot of swearing and smoking
and it's like they're. Not murdering each other, no.
No, that's true. Probably well.
Does everybody die at the end? We haven't determined that, have

(31:22):
we? Because there's a theory that
the whole. That they all died at the end of
Greece. That.
The whole movie is just, you know, he.
Was Sandy that dies? Sandys you know, because you
know when at the beginning, whenhe saves her, he doesn't save
her. And so the whole movie is her in
a coma, isn't that it? I think yeah, it's her
hallucination. And then when they go off in the

(31:43):
car into the. Cloud That's why the car goes
up. Alert Spoiler Chicago The car
goes up into heaven and that's the whole thing.
Well, the the creators of the story said that's not true, but
what? What do they know?
We're we're going with that, no.The creators say explain.
The car going up in the air, youcan't.
I just thought it was kitschy, you know, I thought that was
like a kitschy I. Think that's probably exactly

(32:04):
what it was. They didn't really have a good
way to end it, so they're just it's.
A better than West Side Story. You can let her watch it.
It's a better ending than West Side if she's.
True. Now that they do want to watch
West Side Story the movie, I don't know.
We'll see how that goes. That's a little more real.
You start with Leonardo DiCaprio, Romeo and Juliet
first. Maybe you should start them

(32:25):
small. Maybe.
Maybe work on a movie where there's only one death.
Yeah, there was three, and there's three in West Side
Story. At least three.
It's quite a bit. Maybe 4, right?
Yeah, OK, well, lesson learned. Don't join a gang.
Exactly right. Don't join a gang.

(33:09):

hours away. Who goes to Swiss Chalet for the
fries? I I like their fries.

(35:55):
Fries and the sauce are so good.What are you talking about?
It's so delicious. Yes, Casey has commented, asking
us why does the music in betweensegments have to be so long.
That's a foreman. You want to take that one.
Because I don't feel like alwaysediting them down to be shorter.

(36:18):
I just like to place the music in between and move on to the
next segment. You.
Fade it out and like it's just the way it.
Is just, it's like a it's like ATV show when they they have
canned laughter. They wrap it up in one scene.
Then they show an outside shot of the house.
They play some bumper music and go to a.
Different scene. Wait a minute.

(36:39):
But the music's only up for five.
Seconds, right? The little bit of music we play
in between. Who is too much?
It's Casey. Sorry, Casey.
Casey. Casey complained that they they
were sick of the music. Here, here's what I have to say
to you. Never mind, I'm not going to.
Somebody said they were sick of the music.
Should we mix up the music? Like that's kind of our.
Feel it's always a different song.

(37:02):
I'm meticulous with that. OK, no I don't.
I use the same song on the YouTube.
I edit the YouTube and foreman does the audio.
Yeah, if you think that the audio music is bad, you should
listen to what's on the YouTube channel, Yeah.
OK, OK. It's the same song over and over
and over. It's over there, Foreman.
Tom, I bet. Well, we have one more comment

(37:24):

was, Hey Dave, Rachel inform. And I'm a 13 year old girl.

Something something about tents.Yeah, I didn't want to say it.

word at all.
