(00:00):
My kids are so loud in movie, like they talk, they're trying
to tell me things and I'm like quiet and they're just.
Where do they get that from Rachel?
I don't. I don't know, Jesus Christ, I
don't know. I don't know.
Are you recording? Because I'm not.
Time to start a podcast after that.
(00:26):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
The podcast. Do you actually?
Actually this is the Ottawa Senators of podcasts.
Because as you know, neither us or or the Senators will win the
Stanley Cup this year. So sad.
Like Us the podcast, that's sure.
(00:47):
That's what we need. Poor Foreman, how do you feel
about that? Yeah, bummed.
I'm sorry, Forman. I I'm not rubbing it in.
That's not like I'm just trying to make a joke, that's all.
Just remembered, I I suppose I have to buy you some beer still.
Yeah, that would be nice. I.
Would. Oh yes, the bat is still on.
The bat and I would like that, Yeah, right.
Not that the Toronto make beliefs are going to win a
(01:08):
Stanley Cup anytime soon, but I'm just saying OK on the
podcast today if you'd like to know Rachel does not want to be
who she is. That's fascinating.
We'll have that will require some thought It's.
A therapy session, guys. That would.
Be because I know how helpful you are.
(01:31):
Dave wonders what the deal is with dump trucks.
Yeah, what's the deal? And trucks, that's right, we're
going to play. What's the deal?
And Foreman has no idea what to get someone for Mother's Day.
I can't imagine who. No, I actually had no exactly
what to get my wife Ashley for Mother's Day.
Got it wrong. You know.
(01:52):
And I trust, Rachel, that you had a very good Mother's Day and
happy belated Mother's Day at this point, although at the time
of this recording it is before Mother.
'S day just prior to Mother's Day.
That's right, yeah. OK, so Mother's Day, hopefully
you all had a great day. Whoa, though, I 'cause I am
having and I, I'm sure, 'cause we have made this, I have made
(02:14):
this abundantly clear that this time of year is a very busy time
for Dave to try to come up with ideas for gifts.
Because this mother's the Mother's Day weekend, Mother's
Day is was Sunday and my wife's birthday was Saturday.
(02:34):
Oh, right. OK, I actually thought it was
the. Same day but I miss.
I'm guess I miscalculated. Some years.
It is, some years it is but so try that one on for size.
So you're gonna have a birthday and then Mother's Day, Yeah.
And our and our anniversary was a few days ago.
Oh, right. That's right.
Why did you do everything in May?
I didn't give birth to my wife, so don't blame me for that.
(02:55):
No, you picked a wedding date. Yeah, the wedding.
Yeah, I guess I did do that. That was dumb.
Although I'm not I'm not sure I picked the wedding date.
You also didn't pick that you didn't have a choice.
Yeah, I don't know if I recall who picked that, but it may not
have been me. You were.
Given a date on which to show upin a tuxedo.
Exactly, yes. That's how it works.
(03:16):
Yeah, well, my wife Ashley has actually, she told me exactly
what she would like for mothers that.
Doesn't count she's. Terrible.
I knew you guys would say that you could.
You have to think of it on your own.
Do you though? Yes, I think so.
Dave Well, you try to. Yeah, but what if she beats to
(03:37):
it? And you don't have to.
OK, I'll be. Telling you you can't take
credit for that. I mean, I'm not taking credit.
That could happen in your life, I guess.
But that's. Not something I'm right off the
bat before you know anything else about the story.
I'm saying she chose it. OK, OK.
She told you exactly what she wanted for Mother's Day.
(04:00):
She even took a picture of it onthe shelf on sale at Canadian
Tire and wrote Mother's Day. It's for it's from Canadian Tire
Foreman. Go to a jewelry store.
Go to it. Don't buy the the Mother's Day
gift from Canadian. Tire.
Nope. I swear this isn't going to end
well. Yeah, I would like a follow up.
Nick, that can't be your only gift.
(04:20):
Next week's podcast, we need to follow up.
Well, you'll still have some time, and that can't be your
only gift, I'm telling you rightnow.
Yes, I agree. I think Foreman, you need to,
you need to, you need to give her something from the girls.
Well, that's what the teachers have been doing with them at
school. No, Foreman.
(04:41):
Homemade thing that Emily has been working on.
Send you some jewelry options from some stores you can go.
Yeah, all right. Why don't you tell?
Me What do you see on Canadian Tire that's ideal for your wife?
And before I tell you what it is, just I will have you know
that I have floated this question out there and I have a
lot of support from other moms on social media, OK, Saying like
(05:06):
if I specifically tell you that I want something, then yes, buy
it for me. Yes, yes.
Very true, but you better get mesomething else.
Yep. Yep, also true.
Well, I don't know some another person, Nicole wrote.
If she sends you the hint, take it and run.
She did you a favor. I love when my husband gets me
kitchen gadgets, No. No.
(05:28):
No, I know what you're going to say, Rachel.
Yeah. No, we learned that the hard
way. As you know, and I've told you
many times, we as kids learned the hard way not to buy that for
mom as a gift. Jeremy, ever bought you a
kitchen gadget, Rachel? No, not for a gift, no.
However, I did buy him. I did buy him, at his request,
(05:51):
an air fryer for Christmas. But that wasn't the only gift.
That was one of many. Much like Dave's gifting
history. There was another comment from
Amber who said my husband has bought me both a new vacuum and
new garbage can for two separate.
Christmas. OK, well the garbage can is not
(06:12):
a gift. Ever.
Ever. I much prefer the practical
gift. Anybody asks for a garbage can,
you must have. You must need nothing if all you
want is a new. Garbage.
Yeah, Really. Jesus, I would.
Rather have a colonoscopy than anew garbage.
How do you get rid of the old garbage can?
(06:33):
Because they think it's the can.They don't take it.
I don't. Know and.
Then it's giving and then it's another chore to do.
I just feel like if you're if you're OK with a garbage can as
a gift, you've you've been givenlousy gifts all your life.
You've been conditioned to accept that.
Conditioned and you're. Yeah, just perpetually
disappointed. Sure.
(06:54):
Well, this gift that I have purchased now follows a series
of discussions in recent times about how we don't even know how
we acquired them, other than probably since both of us went
to college and came with some. And now we're still using them
and they're terrible and they'refalling apart and they're about
(07:15):
to be a safety risk when water is boiling in them.
So she sent me the pictures of exactly the set she wanted.
Oh God, what did you? Buy Oh, you just got it right
there. You bought new pots and pans.
It's a 10 piece stainless steel cook set from Canadian Tire.
No. That's OK, Actually I don't.
(07:37):
No, it's not. That's an OK Mother's Day gift,
I think. Buying that for I don't want
that for a gift. That's an OK Mother's Day gift.
I actually, I believe there's a part of me you.
Just buying that anyway. But it's not cheap.
No, but it's not. Cheap, but you need it and it's
on sale, so then go buy something from, you know,
(07:57):
people's. Like what?
A nice necklace? I don't know.
Must be nice to be able to afford like.
The one you're wearing right now, Rachel.
My bare neck. Yeah, it.
Must be nice. It must be.
Nice. Well, I don't leave my house.
Ashley has like a real job. If it was like a a blender or a
(08:19):
mixer or I think did you say it ain't a little?
If that's what she told you she wants, I'm OK with that.
But I still think you need to give her a something small,
something from the girls. Yes, which they're working on at
school with their teachers. Oh.
My God. Dude, you're going to lose.
You need an. Update on this, you're going to
(08:39):
lose. This is due to underwhelming
demand. It's Dave, Rachel and Foreman.
This is the podcast that's, you know, like the weather on the
May 2 four weekend. Hit or miss?
At the start of it and I just think it better be good.
(08:59):
Hit or miss, that's what the podcast or the weather.
Both part of the weekend. This better be good.
All right, don't even. Disappoint you on one of those
fronts, yeah. Exactly.
Foreman kicked it off. I think you did.
All right. Yeah, Sorry.
OK, it's my turn. And I have an issue with dump
(09:21):
trucks. They're bigger than theirs.
Well, dump trucks have been around since before I was I was
born and they're still around. I don't want to take people's
jobs away. I don't.
That's not what I'm. I just am tired of them.
I just think I got behind like not one, but two, but three.
(09:43):
Like there's construction like and I live in the city.
You don't know, Rachel, there's no construction in your city.
They put up a house, Big deal. You know, like there's nothing
you don't live in. But in here, it's construction
season. So wherever you go, there's dump
trucks. I and I went why do we still
(10:03):
have these? I think we like trucks.
I do. They move a lot of things.
Well, you either are the dump truck driver that goes, you
know, I'm not going to shift thegears that fast, or you're the
dump truck driver that knows are.
They gear shifts, are they? Oh God, yes.
They're manual. Yes, Rachel, all trucks are
manual. Are they?
(10:24):
Well, the. Bigger ones are becoming
automatic, but yeah, generally you're driving. 10.
Speed, Yeah, you're driving likea 10 or 12 speed thing.
Part of the. Reason you need a special
license. But my question is at this point
2025 and I've lived a long full life and I would like to
continue living a long full lifehating everybody on the road.
(10:50):
I know where I'm headed so it doesn't really matter.
That's why I want to continue living.
My. I know where I'm going to end
up. That's why I want to live a long
life. But anyway, it's 2025 and it
occurred to me the other day as I was stuck behind two of them,
one and then another, and we're in a single lane and there's
(11:10):
nothing you can do about it. I'm wondering to myself, Gee, in
2025, can't we come up with a better idea?
Isn't there a fast better? Way yeah than what?
Dump trucks. Well, just a faster way to move
dirt, whatever is in that dump truck.
And most of the time, Rachel, it's basically dirt.
(11:32):
Yeah, What do you want to do with it?
Like, you know, I. Want it to move faster Foreman.
But how? I want and.
The way you. Were dead.
Look, I you can have. Smaller dump trucks that move
there's a little more are. Smaller.
There are smaller dump trucks and they do move faster Rachel,
but not fast enough. Right.
Not for you, Dave. I just want to go like when the
(11:55):
light turns green, let's go and not.
What do you want to have happen other than dump trucks?
Because here's an idea though, when we had our pool done and
they had to take all the dirt from the back to the front, they
used a conveyor belt to put the dirt on and then it shipped it
to the front yard into the dump.Truck in my backyard and I'm
(12:16):
still dealing with the tire mark.
You could build like overhead conveyor belts and then instead
of the trucks. How do you these things about?
Well, exactly. This is very What do you do
other than dump trucks, Dave? Look, the guys driving dump
trucks have a I don't want to eliminate their jobs.
I want to make their jobs easier.
I want to make them loved on beloved on the road, not hated.
(12:40):
And they look, there are some dump truck drivers and I'm
positive I, I know this to be a fact that they're just like me.
They hate the rest of us on the road and they're going to go as
slow as they please. They don't care.
And then there are the double dump trucks.
You ever been stuck behind one of those?
You don't want to be double dumptruck pulling another dump
(13:04):
truck. Here's what I think 95% of OK,
94% of the smart people in the world should be trying to cure
cancer 'cause I'm sick and tiredof losing people that I love and
I know and from that. So that's fine.
Then we can take another 3% or 4% that can maybe work on peace,
(13:27):
harmony and, and, and, and feeding the hungry.
Can we do that? And then can we just have?
1% of the smart people in the world make dump trucks faster.
Can't we do that? I know it's possible.
I know it's got to be possible. We've made cars faster.
We've made planes faster. I think we've we've made train
(13:50):
on the back of it. We've made trains.
Faster, yeah. Why has nobody stopped and and
and thought just like AM IA genius or AM IA just a dumb
radio guy who just goes what thehell Why is it taking so long?
To move a truck faster, they must have made like transports,
(14:10):
whatever, all of those, they must have made them lighter or
something so that they can get up to speed faster.
No, like, haven't they? Probably I'm.
Sure they have. At the risk of going down the
road, I don't want to go down, but I think you're the future.
Especially with all the dump trucks around Saint Thomas
working on that frigging VW battery plant.
(14:31):
Maybe that battery plant eventually can make batteries
big and strong enough to power adump truck.
Because when you drive an electric vehicle, the power is
instantaneous. There you go.
See. Hey, it's a universal feeling.
If you if you turn or a vehicle turns in front of you and it's a
dump truck and you're right behind it.
Every single person is like mother.
Yeah. Exactly.
(14:53):
No, I know, no. Why did you do this to me?
No, Get out of the way. Yeah.
I know somebody has to go. Hey.
Yeah, Anyway. So if I'm the guy, I'll take the
fall, you know, get out of my way.
They brought it up. We all remember that.
(15:33):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's a podcast. It's a podcast that's kind of
like the main 2 for a long weekend.
It's going to end with fireworks.
Foreman guarantees it. Yes, at the Thamesford
Callithumpian. The theme this year is
Callithumpian goes Country. Was it not country before?
(15:53):
I mean there an e-mail. From your mom, but OK, that's
fine. That's right.
That's the fireworks I was hoping for, but all right.
His mom only writes every like couple months like we just had
one from her I wish you 2 episodes ago.
So we didn't. Oh, we don't have one.
No, I'm sorry. She has not enough.
We love your mom, Foreman. We like to hear.
(16:15):
From her, mostly. About you.
We're starting to get some fireworks, just like I thought.
Just poke him at them. He gets tired.
Well, I I don't have any fireworks for you, but I am
going last. This is so it's my turn and my
husband. Is not a segue.
I'm not giving you the siren. Remotely a.
Segue, it is kind of. Not really.
(16:36):
Now it. Really, this is not a firework,
but I'm going last. Well, you said fireworks at the
end, so the end and I'm this is it.
That's fine, fine, all right. Don't expect me to bring any
fireworks. I know you're still trying, but
it's still not quite working. It'll.
(16:57):
Never be good enough when am I good enough my husband was just
away for a few for two nights, 3days and for work and I hate it
when he goes away because I justI don't I don't love it I have
friends whose husbands go away quite a bit and they really
enjoy that I really hate it I. Don't.
(17:18):
Is it because you have to do everything?
Yeah, mostly. Yeah, I think that's yeah.
And I don't if one of us is missing out of the four of us, I
I just feel like some something,something's missing, right.
There's a piece gone which I hate, but yeah.
No, no, no, no, no, you won't. What do you mean?
(17:39):
Wait. Wait till your children get a
little older and when one of them's away you'll be like.
That's so quiet and clean. Great.
Yeah. I did notice though, the
cleaning ladies were here when he was gone.
And the house? Go on, please.
Yeah, please. And the house?
(17:59):
The house stayed cleaner for like an extra 24 hours because
so I've been blaming the kids but I actually think it's him.
Anyway, that's not what I was going to talk about, but so I he
was away and I, I don't love it when he's away.
Just because ascertained. Why?
(18:20):
And, you know, ascertained why, Yeah.
And so tonight he was back. He's back and came home after
work today so as as of this recording.
And I said to him in the car, I said, you know, I am a strong
independent woman, as you all know.
But I really don't want to have to be like, I'm glad that you're
back. And he thought that that was the
(18:41):
funniest thing. Funny.
I was like you. Thought it was funny.
Yeah, but I just don't want to have to like, do everything, you
know? Like I'm not cut out to be a
single parent. I'm not cut out to do
everything. You better be.
Yeah, well, you better be particularly nice to Jeremy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I even don't mind that I have to
(19:03):
watch his stupid sports when he's gone because he's gone.
And I'm like, well, what am I going to watch?
We either watch sports or stupidcop shows, and when he's gone, I
don't know what to watch. And then I ended up watching a
documentary on Donald Trump thatwas five years old.
That's what I watched, Yeah. How lame is that?
That's a very weird choice. I know.
(19:25):
Yeah, that's the you don't play then.
I went to bed angry and couldn'tsleep.
I had a bad sleep because I was by myself.
And then I thought, thank God he's coming home.
Soon, thank God he's a look on for today.
And so. I don't know how my friends do
this with their husbands. Ghana for like a week or 10 days
at a time. Well, you know they enjoy it.
If my wife had said to me that, what is it exactly?
(19:48):
You said I, I. I, I'm a strong, I'm an
independent woman, right? I'm raising 2 independent little
girls but I just, I don't want to have to do that right?
Yeah, if my wife had said that to me, I don't know what I I
wouldn't have laughed. I would have looked over and
gone. I don't know what the answer to
that is. I don't.
(20:09):
I don't know. I know the answer isn't
laughter. I know it's not laughter.
I think probably my answer wouldhave been in yours too form and
initially would have been huh because.
Not prepared for that one. Well, you know what?
I would not be prepared for thatone, no.
The girls were got home from school and I said dad's going to
(20:30):
be home any minute. So they were like, OK, so they
went outside to wait for him andhe came home like 10 minutes
later and they said, dad, dad, you're home.
Can you kill the spider? It's been in the house.
OK. And he's like, oh, that's what
I'm good for. OK, That's right.
I was like, well. They didn't even tell me about
the spider. I would have actually killed it.
(20:51):
Exactly. See, that's what I would expect
when I walked in the door. There's a spider.
Can you get rid of it? They met him on the driveway.
They're excited that he's home. Because we need you to kill the
spider. After I sit under the scale.
Actually, Jeremy, because it's garbage night and I didn't want
to have to do that so. At the opposite end of the scale
(21:12):
would I? There was a time when everyone
would say, hey, Daddy's home. Yeah.
And now I come home and no one even looks up from the tablets.
Yes, yes, ever. And many Times Now I get hey
Mommy killed a spider while you were away so like I don't even
think they would notice if I wasgone for.
Me. What good am I then?
(21:33):
What do I do around here? I'm not fulfilling any purpose
other than like the lawn's not cut.
Well, yeah, the lawn has to be cut and also we have two more
ceiling fans that need to be installed so that he has to do
that this weekend. He only got one of three put up
before he left. Why you didn't do one while he
was gone? No.
I don't do that. He has to do that.
(21:54):
I can't change electrical. Can you cut the grass?
No. Oh my God, Ashley got the
funniest text from her mom because her parents are going
away for like 10 days or 12 daysand and Marlene texted Ashley
hey can you cut our grass while we're away?
Which Ashley immediately tried to pass off to me and I said.
(22:17):
She asked you, right? You know what my mom would
directly text Jeremy. Yes, she knows better.
I'm surprised that Marlene texted Ashley.
Knows better. He knows better.
Anyway, he's home and all is well.
And yes, Marlene will cut the grass.
(22:56):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's a podcast. It's Dave, Rachel and Foreman
and you can find usonlineunderwhelming.ca.
And we would appreciate that if you find us, you tell everybody
else about us. And if you know somebody that
would like to sponsor us, maybe you want to sponsor us and tell
them to go to underwhelming.ca. Tell them to to e-mail us at
(23:20):
dave.rachelforeman@gmail.com, whatever it's takes because to
keep the podcast running. You know, the sponsorships help.
And as you can tell, there weren't very.
If you heard a sponsor on Yeah, if you heard a sponsor wherever
you downloaded this podcast, we didn't get a penny from that.
No FYI. Well, we eventually get like a
(23:41):
couple pennies from. That, oh, do we get a couple.
Pennies. Like, quite literally pennies.
Pennies, yeah. Pennies from there.
So thank you to the someone who bought us 3 coffees.
Yay. Yes, we enjoy listening to your
podcast. We were fans when you were on
the radio. Oh, thank you very much.
Matter of fact. So appreciate that, OK.
You can buy us a coffee on our website.
(24:01):
Underwhelming dossier. We love you for doing that.
Thank you. Thank you.
I have an e-mail from Debbie. She sent this a couple weeks
ago. So sorry Debbie that we're just
getting it to it to it now. She says I'm a little behind on
episodes but I was on vacation and I missed two weeks.
FYII did take more underwear than needed, but my reasoning is
that after I go for a swim and take my suit off, I put on clean
(24:22):
underwear, even if I only wore apair for an hour that day.
I have a thing about putting underwear back on that I haven't
that I've already taken off. That's fair enough.
I think I have that thing too. I don't.
Well, I have a thing when I put on underwear, but that's a
completely different story. Yeah, if they've come entirely
off, they've come off you want. To come back I get.
(24:43):
Yeah, I get sure. I have comments on many shows
that I haven't gotten around descending because I was driving
and then I forgot I was just walking my dog and listened to
episode 119, which coincidentally included an
e-mail from somebody who said they were walking and listening
to their dog. In that episode, you talked
about Dave's friend who had a cat in his freezer.
Yes, we have put a hamster and also a cat in the freezer.
(25:05):
Not at the same time. Oh well, I thought maybe they
were friends or something, I don't know.
The reason was because we wantedto bury them.
The hamster was our daughters. She was 7 or 8 and it was winter
and the ground was frozen. So same issue.
They needed to go in the freezerfreezer until we could dig a
hole. I don't know if that makes a
difference to your disgust, but it was in the downstairs freezer
(25:26):
and not the fridge freezer that has everyday use.
OK, I just the. Deep freezer.
I wonder how properly wrapped the dead.
End, I hope well. Yes, that's all.
Sure, another reason you may need to put a cat in the freezer
happened to my friend. Your cat died at home on the
weekend. This was when the emergency vet
was not operating 24 hours because of a vet shortage, so
(25:47):
they had to put the cat in the freezer until they could take it
to the vet. The smell.
Having said that, there is no excuse to have a cat in your
freezer for six months. No.
Six months is a long term. Is it still there, Dave?
Is it still there? I I believe so.
At last check. Still there?
Yeah, still. There, tell us when that gets
removed Yeah, OK, she says we'll.
(26:08):
Do that. I yeah, we'll continue to ask.
We need to update, Debbie says. In closing, today was the
announcement of Foreman's new job at Country 104.
I love this news and I will now tune into that station.
I kind of stopped listening to the local country.
Radio. After you guys left BX 93 Pure
Country. Take care from Debbie.
Thank you, Debbie. OK, well, fine, Foreman.
(26:29):
He's there, Foreman. He's back.
Yep, back on the air, back doingcountry music.
So. Local country radio once again.
Yes. Thanks to Rachel for taking all
those pictures my mom sent in her last e-mail and posting them
everywhere. I knew we were going to get
fireworks. I told you fireworks.
And you know what? Thanks, Foreman.
Are you upset? I also sent them in our
(26:50):
newsletter, which you can sign up for at underwhelming.ca.
Please do because I put a lot ofwork into that every week and I
would like more subscribers. I've looked at these pictures
everywhere, Foreman. Everywhere.
Yeah, it was nice of your mom. I have baby pictures of Foreman.
You bet your bottom dollar I'm posting it everywhere I can.
Yes, I always liked it when Foreman would be, and I never
(27:13):
understood it, but he used to send us every summer a picture
of himself on a floaty at his cottage.
Yeah, those were. I still have those.
I think those. Are my favorites.
I will post one out. I think I've got you on a dunk
or something. I'll post them upside down.
Yep, I'll post them in the middle of winter saying see you
(27:34):
there. Will you post them here or
there? I will post them everywhere.
Everywhere, Yeah. Thank you, Foreman, for those
always appreciate it. So you're welcome.
Yeah. Yeah, I.
Got to write a poem about that. I see Foreman on a duck.
I see I. Could see foreman on the truck a
train a train a train because I hate him on a dump.
(27:57):
Some of the commentary on said photographs are his cheeks are
so rosy, probably due to everyone pinching them all the
time. Also who cares about baby
foreman? Where's baby Windsor?
Good point. I could probably ask for a photo
(28:17):
of that. Baby Windsor and baby Foreman
side by side would be. I have.
You best believe there's plenty of those.
I have adult Windsor and adult Foreman I could do side by side.
Yeah, in the one of the me in front of the birthday cake that
looks like an Easter Bunny. Me as a quite a small child,
(28:39):
Deborah says. I had that cake too, which is
hilarious because it's an extremely unique cake.
Yeah, it is interesting. Another comment like the
previous one from Sherry that asks where's Winston?
Windsor. Windsor.
No, I like, I like this. I like that trend, yeah.
Start that one. Where's?
Winston yeah, Jerry says. You guys were right about Those
(29:01):
are some mighty cheeks. Yeah, muscular.
And Cheryl, who makes the foreman's elbows up Canadian
Pies. OK, yes.
Wrote. I think you're still cute,
Signed an old cougar. Oh.
(29:21):
Well, that's nice, Foreman. Yes, your dad looks like
Engelbert Humperdinck. Oh, does he?
I don't know. What?
Engelbert Humperdinck. I don't know you.
Shouldn't know who Engelbert Humperdinck even is.
He's a he kind of does, yeah. He's still alive.
He's 89. Yeah, I don't think he looks
(29:43):
like. No one with the eyebrows, Yeah.
There was commentary back in theday of how we were the Bean
family because he looked resembled more like Mr. Bean.
And really? Angle No.
Here's like an old one of angle for me I.
Had a little Mr. Bean. Oh, my father, not me.
Yeah, well, you've got a little Mr. Bean in you.
He's a handsome man. Foreman Rowan Accurdson, your
(30:07):
dad and Engelbert hung for Dink and And yeah, Trudy, actually,
Trudy sends us a lot of messages.
I'm going to try and sum these up, Trudy.
OK, Because this is a lot. Get to some of them and maybe
we'll save a few for the next time.
Maybe it? Would Why did Trudy send us so
many messages? She was applying to a lot of
different things. OK, she says, Congrats.
Did we read this one? Congrats on Rachel on joining
(30:29):
the Hockey League. I love your mindset and sticking
with it. I don't really know how to
skate. So a couple years ago, I joined
a Learn to skate program that was open to adults, but I was
there with toddlers and trainershalf my age.
Either way, I did learn some things and I'm glad I did it.
I would love if we had to learn to play hockey in Windsor for
women. She's from Windsor.
I'll look into that. Yeah.
(30:50):
She says OMG the towel warmer for hot tub towels, your hot,
your towel warmer day. That's our biggest complaint for
the hot tub. Thanks for that idea.
I'm going to have to look into getting that as as a gift for my
husband. There you go for him.
And that's a good Mother's Day gift.
A towel warmer. Well, he's got pots and pans.
(31:11):
OK. She also says and you guys will
love this one. I have started shaming people
about the keg ever since listening to this podcast
because I agree with David Foreman.
So next time any of you are in Windsor, please, please check
out Koma Koma Kitchen of MichaelAnthony.
I guess that's what it stands for.
(31:32):
It's the same price, twice the portion size and homemade.
Yes, try something local. Stop going to the.
Koma, she said. Koma.
Restaurant fine dining and drinking in Windsor, ON.
There you go. There you go.
What does BAKOMA is an acronym though?
What does that stand for? Kitchen of Michael Anthony.
There you go, that's what she says.
Yes, I want guests of Coma to feel like they are at my home as
(31:55):
friends, enjoying good food and great company, because that's
exactly how we see it. Sure.
I wish I'd known that before I went to Windsor.
I would have gone. Yes, I wish I had an opportunity
to try it without having to pay.Yeah.
Oh, nice try for. Me.
They're in Windsor, Foreman. Yes, I'm aware.
Windsor ON 3090 Dugal Ave. in Windsor, as a matter of fact.
(32:18):
OK. You know where I can, I can
actually take you there. I know where.
That is well, you lived there, yes.
It's the one that's the modern restaurant with a prominent
glass door and bright red chairs, offering a cheerful and
engaging dining experience. Or.
What sounds lovely? Are you planning a trip to
Windsor? To the cozy restaurant adorned
with red walls and a table set with red chairs offering a
(32:39):
lively and inviting ambiance at Coma Restaurant.
Yes, OK. Perhaps if they'll have me.
Sure. I'm yes, I'm sure they will.
Your money is good there. It's not supposed to be.
Hey Tim, I'm checking in. He's checking in.
(33:02):
He's checking in. Tim, you seem happy to be
checking in. What are you doing?
Oh, I'm just driving across Hwy.7 on my way to Arkona.
Oh, what's in Arkona? Oh gravel pit I got to jump my
load at, well that. Sounds like a fun day, Jim.
(33:23):
Oh yeah, I do it four times and it's boring itself.
You so you got to dump your loadin Arkona four times.
Hey, I got I got a traffic note for you guys too.
Hey, well, great. What's that?
Hwy. 4 and 7 is going to be a little scurry.
They're going to start repaving the intersection.
Unless there's some some guy in a dump truck clogging traffic.
(33:48):
My dump truck's bigger than theirs dump truck.
Brings all the boys to the yard and their life.
Is bigger than theirs. Damn.
Right, it's better than yours.
My kids are so loud in movie, like they talk, they're trying
to tell me things and I'm like quiet and they're just.
Where do they get that from Rachel?
I don't. I don't know, Jesus Christ, I
don't know. I don't know.
Are you recording? Because I'm not.
Time to start a podcast after that.
(00:26):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
The podcast. Do you actually?
Actually this is the Ottawa Senators of podcasts.
Because as you know, neither us or or the Senators will win the
Stanley Cup this year. So sad.
Like Us the podcast, that's sure.
(00:47):
That's what we need. Poor Foreman, how do you feel
about that? Yeah, bummed.
I'm sorry, Forman. I I'm not rubbing it in.
That's not like I'm just trying to make a joke, that's all.
Just remembered, I I suppose I have to buy you some beer still.
Yeah, that would be nice. I.
Would. Oh yes, the bat is still on.
The bat and I would like that, Yeah, right.
Not that the Toronto make beliefs are going to win a
(01:08):
Stanley Cup anytime soon, but I'm just saying OK on the
podcast today if you'd like to know Rachel does not want to be
who she is. That's fascinating.
We'll have that will require some thought It's.
A therapy session, guys. That would.
Be because I know how helpful you are.
(01:31):
Dave wonders what the deal is with dump trucks.
Yeah, what's the deal? And trucks, that's right, we're
going to play. What's the deal?
And Foreman has no idea what to get someone for Mother's Day.
I can't imagine who. No, I actually had no exactly
what to get my wife Ashley for Mother's Day.
Got it wrong. You know.
(01:52):
And I trust, Rachel, that you had a very good Mother's Day and
happy belated Mother's Day at this point, although at the time
of this recording it is before Mother.
'S day just prior to Mother's Day.
That's right, yeah. OK, so Mother's Day, hopefully
you all had a great day. Whoa, though, I 'cause I am
having and I, I'm sure, 'cause we have made this, I have made
(02:14):
this abundantly clear that this time of year is a very busy time
for Dave to try to come up with ideas for gifts.
Because this mother's the Mother's Day weekend, Mother's
Day is was Sunday and my wife's birthday was Saturday.
(02:34):
Oh, right. OK, I actually thought it was
the. Same day but I miss.
I'm guess I miscalculated. Some years.
It is, some years it is but so try that one on for size.
So you're gonna have a birthday and then Mother's Day, Yeah.
And our and our anniversary was a few days ago.
Oh, right. That's right.
Why did you do everything in May?
I didn't give birth to my wife, so don't blame me for that.
(02:55):
No, you picked a wedding date. Yeah, the wedding.
Yeah, I guess I did do that. That was dumb.
Although I'm not I'm not sure I picked the wedding date.
You also didn't pick that you didn't have a choice.
Yeah, I don't know if I recall who picked that, but it may not
have been me. You were.
Given a date on which to show upin a tuxedo.
Exactly, yes. That's how it works.
(03:16):
Yeah, well, my wife Ashley has actually, she told me exactly
what she would like for mothers that.
Doesn't count she's. Terrible.
I knew you guys would say that you could.
You have to think of it on your own.
Do you though? Yes, I think so.
Dave Well, you try to. Yeah, but what if she beats to
(03:37):
it? And you don't have to.
OK, I'll be. Telling you you can't take
credit for that. I mean, I'm not taking credit.
That could happen in your life, I guess.
But that's. Not something I'm right off the
bat before you know anything else about the story.
I'm saying she chose it. OK, OK.
She told you exactly what she wanted for Mother's Day.
(04:00):
She even took a picture of it onthe shelf on sale at Canadian
Tire and wrote Mother's Day. It's for it's from Canadian Tire
Foreman. Go to a jewelry store.
Go to it. Don't buy the the Mother's Day
gift from Canadian. Tire.
Nope. I swear this isn't going to end
well. Yeah, I would like a follow up.
Nick, that can't be your only gift.
(04:20):
Next week's podcast, we need to follow up.
Well, you'll still have some time, and that can't be your
only gift, I'm telling you rightnow.
Yes, I agree. I think Foreman, you need to,
you need to, you need to give her something from the girls.
Well, that's what the teachers have been doing with them at
school. No, Foreman.
(04:41):
Homemade thing that Emily has been working on.
Send you some jewelry options from some stores you can go.
Yeah, all right. Why don't you tell?
Me What do you see on Canadian Tire that's ideal for your wife?
And before I tell you what it is, just I will have you know
that I have floated this question out there and I have a
lot of support from other moms on social media, OK, Saying like
(05:06):
if I specifically tell you that I want something, then yes, buy
it for me. Yes, yes.
Very true, but you better get mesomething else.
Yep. Yep, also true.
Well, I don't know some another person, Nicole wrote.
If she sends you the hint, take it and run.
She did you a favor. I love when my husband gets me
kitchen gadgets, No. No.
(05:28):
No, I know what you're going to say, Rachel.
Yeah. No, we learned that the hard
way. As you know, and I've told you
many times, we as kids learned the hard way not to buy that for
mom as a gift. Jeremy, ever bought you a
kitchen gadget, Rachel? No, not for a gift, no.
However, I did buy him. I did buy him, at his request,
(05:51):
an air fryer for Christmas. But that wasn't the only gift.
That was one of many. Much like Dave's gifting
history. There was another comment from
Amber who said my husband has bought me both a new vacuum and
new garbage can for two separate.
Christmas. OK, well the garbage can is not
(06:12):
a gift. Ever.
Ever. I much prefer the practical
gift. Anybody asks for a garbage can,
you must have. You must need nothing if all you
want is a new. Garbage.
Yeah, Really. Jesus, I would.
Rather have a colonoscopy than anew garbage.
How do you get rid of the old garbage can?
(06:33):
Because they think it's the can.They don't take it.
I don't. Know and.
Then it's giving and then it's another chore to do.
I just feel like if you're if you're OK with a garbage can as
a gift, you've you've been givenlousy gifts all your life.
You've been conditioned to accept that.
Conditioned and you're. Yeah, just perpetually
disappointed. Sure.
(06:54):
Well, this gift that I have purchased now follows a series
of discussions in recent times about how we don't even know how
we acquired them, other than probably since both of us went
to college and came with some. And now we're still using them
and they're terrible and they'refalling apart and they're about
(07:15):
to be a safety risk when water is boiling in them.
So she sent me the pictures of exactly the set she wanted.
Oh God, what did you? Buy Oh, you just got it right
there. You bought new pots and pans.
It's a 10 piece stainless steel cook set from Canadian Tire.
No. That's OK, Actually I don't.
(07:37):
No, it's not. That's an OK Mother's Day gift,
I think. Buying that for I don't want
that for a gift. That's an OK Mother's Day gift.
I actually, I believe there's a part of me you.
Just buying that anyway. But it's not cheap.
No, but it's not. Cheap, but you need it and it's
on sale, so then go buy something from, you know,
(07:57):
people's. Like what?
A nice necklace? I don't know.
Must be nice to be able to afford like.
The one you're wearing right now, Rachel.
My bare neck. Yeah, it.
Must be nice. It must be.
Nice. Well, I don't leave my house.
Ashley has like a real job. If it was like a a blender or a
(08:19):
mixer or I think did you say it ain't a little?
If that's what she told you she wants, I'm OK with that.
But I still think you need to give her a something small,
something from the girls. Yes, which they're working on at
school with their teachers. Oh.
My God. Dude, you're going to lose.
You need an. Update on this, you're going to
(08:39):
lose. This is due to underwhelming
demand. It's Dave, Rachel and Foreman.
This is the podcast that's, you know, like the weather on the
May 2 four weekend. Hit or miss?
At the start of it and I just think it better be good.
(08:59):
Hit or miss, that's what the podcast or the weather.
Both part of the weekend. This better be good.
All right, don't even. Disappoint you on one of those
fronts, yeah. Exactly.
Foreman kicked it off. I think you did.
All right. Yeah, Sorry.
OK, it's my turn. And I have an issue with dump
(09:21):
trucks. They're bigger than theirs.
Well, dump trucks have been around since before I was I was
born and they're still around. I don't want to take people's
jobs away. I don't.
That's not what I'm. I just am tired of them.
I just think I got behind like not one, but two, but three.
(09:43):
Like there's construction like and I live in the city.
You don't know, Rachel, there's no construction in your city.
They put up a house, Big deal. You know, like there's nothing
you don't live in. But in here, it's construction
season. So wherever you go, there's dump
trucks. I and I went why do we still
(10:03):
have these? I think we like trucks.
I do. They move a lot of things.
Well, you either are the dump truck driver that goes, you
know, I'm not going to shift thegears that fast, or you're the
dump truck driver that knows are.
They gear shifts, are they? Oh God, yes.
They're manual. Yes, Rachel, all trucks are
manual. Are they?
(10:24):
Well, the. Bigger ones are becoming
automatic, but yeah, generally you're driving. 10.
Speed, Yeah, you're driving likea 10 or 12 speed thing.
Part of the. Reason you need a special
license. But my question is at this point
2025 and I've lived a long full life and I would like to
continue living a long full lifehating everybody on the road.
(10:50):
I know where I'm headed so it doesn't really matter.
That's why I want to continue living.
My. I know where I'm going to end
up. That's why I want to live a long
life. But anyway, it's 2025 and it
occurred to me the other day as I was stuck behind two of them,
one and then another, and we're in a single lane and there's
(11:10):
nothing you can do about it. I'm wondering to myself, Gee, in
2025, can't we come up with a better idea?
Isn't there a fast better? Way yeah than what?
Dump trucks. Well, just a faster way to move
dirt, whatever is in that dump truck.
And most of the time, Rachel, it's basically dirt.
(11:32):
Yeah, What do you want to do with it?
Like, you know, I. Want it to move faster Foreman.
But how? I want and.
The way you. Were dead.
Look, I you can have. Smaller dump trucks that move
there's a little more are. Smaller.
There are smaller dump trucks and they do move faster Rachel,
but not fast enough. Right.
Not for you, Dave. I just want to go like when the
(11:55):
light turns green, let's go and not.
What do you want to have happen other than dump trucks?
Because here's an idea though, when we had our pool done and
they had to take all the dirt from the back to the front, they
used a conveyor belt to put the dirt on and then it shipped it
to the front yard into the dump.Truck in my backyard and I'm
(12:16):
still dealing with the tire mark.
You could build like overhead conveyor belts and then instead
of the trucks. How do you these things about?
Well, exactly. This is very What do you do
other than dump trucks, Dave? Look, the guys driving dump
trucks have a I don't want to eliminate their jobs.
I want to make their jobs easier.
I want to make them loved on beloved on the road, not hated.
(12:40):
And they look, there are some dump truck drivers and I'm
positive I, I know this to be a fact that they're just like me.
They hate the rest of us on the road and they're going to go as
slow as they please. They don't care.
And then there are the double dump trucks.
You ever been stuck behind one of those?
You don't want to be double dumptruck pulling another dump
(13:04):
truck. Here's what I think 95% of OK,
94% of the smart people in the world should be trying to cure
cancer 'cause I'm sick and tiredof losing people that I love and
I know and from that. So that's fine.
Then we can take another 3% or 4% that can maybe work on peace,
(13:27):
harmony and, and, and, and feeding the hungry.
Can we do that? And then can we just have?
1% of the smart people in the world make dump trucks faster.
Can't we do that? I know it's possible.
I know it's got to be possible. We've made cars faster.
We've made planes faster. I think we've we've made train
(13:50):
on the back of it. We've made trains.
Faster, yeah. Why has nobody stopped and and
and thought just like AM IA genius or AM IA just a dumb
radio guy who just goes what thehell Why is it taking so long?
To move a truck faster, they must have made like transports,
(14:10):
whatever, all of those, they must have made them lighter or
something so that they can get up to speed faster.
No, like, haven't they? Probably I'm.
Sure they have. At the risk of going down the
road, I don't want to go down, but I think you're the future.
Especially with all the dump trucks around Saint Thomas
working on that frigging VW battery plant.
(14:31):
Maybe that battery plant eventually can make batteries
big and strong enough to power adump truck.
Because when you drive an electric vehicle, the power is
instantaneous. There you go.
See. Hey, it's a universal feeling.
If you if you turn or a vehicle turns in front of you and it's a
dump truck and you're right behind it.
Every single person is like mother.
Yeah. Exactly.
(14:53):
No, I know, no. Why did you do this to me?
No, Get out of the way. Yeah.
I know somebody has to go. Hey.
Yeah, Anyway. So if I'm the guy, I'll take the
fall, you know, get out of my way.
They brought it up. We all remember that.
(15:33):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's a podcast. It's a podcast that's kind of
like the main 2 for a long weekend.
It's going to end with fireworks.
Foreman guarantees it. Yes, at the Thamesford
Callithumpian. The theme this year is
Callithumpian goes Country. Was it not country before?
(15:53):
I mean there an e-mail. From your mom, but OK, that's
fine. That's right.
That's the fireworks I was hoping for, but all right.
His mom only writes every like couple months like we just had
one from her I wish you 2 episodes ago.
So we didn't. Oh, we don't have one.
No, I'm sorry. She has not enough.
We love your mom, Foreman. We like to hear.
(16:15):
From her, mostly. About you.
We're starting to get some fireworks, just like I thought.
Just poke him at them. He gets tired.
Well, I I don't have any fireworks for you, but I am
going last. This is so it's my turn and my
husband. Is not a segue.
I'm not giving you the siren. Remotely a.
Segue, it is kind of. Not really.
(16:36):
Now it. Really, this is not a firework,
but I'm going last. Well, you said fireworks at the
end, so the end and I'm this is it.
That's fine, fine, all right. Don't expect me to bring any
fireworks. I know you're still trying, but
it's still not quite working. It'll.
(16:57):
Never be good enough when am I good enough my husband was just
away for a few for two nights, 3days and for work and I hate it
when he goes away because I justI don't I don't love it I have
friends whose husbands go away quite a bit and they really
enjoy that I really hate it I. Don't.
(17:18):
Is it because you have to do everything?
Yeah, mostly. Yeah, I think that's yeah.
And I don't if one of us is missing out of the four of us, I
I just feel like some something,something's missing, right.
There's a piece gone which I hate, but yeah.
No, no, no, no, no, you won't. What do you mean?
(17:39):
Wait. Wait till your children get a
little older and when one of them's away you'll be like.
That's so quiet and clean. Great.
Yeah. I did notice though, the
cleaning ladies were here when he was gone.
And the house? Go on, please.
Yeah, please. And the house?
(17:59):
The house stayed cleaner for like an extra 24 hours because
so I've been blaming the kids but I actually think it's him.
Anyway, that's not what I was going to talk about, but so I he
was away and I, I don't love it when he's away.
Just because ascertained. Why?
(18:20):
And, you know, ascertained why, Yeah.
And so tonight he was back. He's back and came home after
work today so as as of this recording.
And I said to him in the car, I said, you know, I am a strong
independent woman, as you all know.
But I really don't want to have to be like, I'm glad that you're
back. And he thought that that was the
(18:41):
funniest thing. Funny.
I was like you. Thought it was funny.
Yeah, but I just don't want to have to like, do everything, you
know? Like I'm not cut out to be a
single parent. I'm not cut out to do
everything. You better be.
Yeah, well, you better be particularly nice to Jeremy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I even don't mind that I have to
(19:03):
watch his stupid sports when he's gone because he's gone.
And I'm like, well, what am I going to watch?
We either watch sports or stupidcop shows, and when he's gone, I
don't know what to watch. And then I ended up watching a
documentary on Donald Trump thatwas five years old.
That's what I watched, Yeah. How lame is that?
That's a very weird choice. I know.
(19:25):
Yeah, that's the you don't play then.
I went to bed angry and couldn'tsleep.
I had a bad sleep because I was by myself.
And then I thought, thank God he's coming home.
Soon, thank God he's a look on for today.
And so. I don't know how my friends do
this with their husbands. Ghana for like a week or 10 days
at a time. Well, you know they enjoy it.
If my wife had said to me that, what is it exactly?
(19:48):
You said I, I. I, I'm a strong, I'm an
independent woman, right? I'm raising 2 independent little
girls but I just, I don't want to have to do that right?
Yeah, if my wife had said that to me, I don't know what I I
wouldn't have laughed. I would have looked over and
gone. I don't know what the answer to
that is. I don't.
(20:09):
I don't know. I know the answer isn't
laughter. I know it's not laughter.
I think probably my answer wouldhave been in yours too form and
initially would have been huh because.
Not prepared for that one. Well, you know what?
I would not be prepared for thatone, no.
The girls were got home from school and I said dad's going to
(20:30):
be home any minute. So they were like, OK, so they
went outside to wait for him andhe came home like 10 minutes
later and they said, dad, dad, you're home.
Can you kill the spider? It's been in the house.
OK. And he's like, oh, that's what
I'm good for. OK, That's right.
I was like, well. They didn't even tell me about
the spider. I would have actually killed it.
(20:51):
Exactly. See, that's what I would expect
when I walked in the door. There's a spider.
Can you get rid of it? They met him on the driveway.
They're excited that he's home. Because we need you to kill the
spider. After I sit under the scale.
Actually, Jeremy, because it's garbage night and I didn't want
to have to do that so. At the opposite end of the scale
(21:12):
would I? There was a time when everyone
would say, hey, Daddy's home. Yeah.
And now I come home and no one even looks up from the tablets.
Yes, yes, ever. And many Times Now I get hey
Mommy killed a spider while you were away so like I don't even
think they would notice if I wasgone for.
Me. What good am I then?
(21:33):
What do I do around here? I'm not fulfilling any purpose
other than like the lawn's not cut.
Well, yeah, the lawn has to be cut and also we have two more
ceiling fans that need to be installed so that he has to do
that this weekend. He only got one of three put up
before he left. Why you didn't do one while he
was gone? No.
I don't do that. He has to do that.
(21:54):
I can't change electrical. Can you cut the grass?
No. Oh my God, Ashley got the
funniest text from her mom because her parents are going
away for like 10 days or 12 daysand and Marlene texted Ashley
hey can you cut our grass while we're away?
Which Ashley immediately tried to pass off to me and I said.
(22:17):
She asked you, right? You know what my mom would
directly text Jeremy. Yes, she knows better.
I'm surprised that Marlene texted Ashley.
Knows better. He knows better.
Anyway, he's home and all is well.
And yes, Marlene will cut the grass.
(22:56):
This is due to underwhelming demand.

And as you can tell, there weren't very.
If you heard a sponsor on Yeah, if you heard a sponsor wherever
you downloaded this podcast, we didn't get a penny from that.
No FYI. Well, we eventually get like a
(23:41):
couple pennies from. That, oh, do we get a couple.
Pennies. Like, quite literally pennies.
Pennies, yeah. Pennies from there.
So thank you to the someone who bought us 3 coffees.
Yay. Yes, we enjoy listening to your
podcast. We were fans when you were on
the radio. Oh, thank you very much.
Matter of fact. So appreciate that, OK.
You can buy us a coffee on our website.
(24:01):
Underwhelming dossier. We love you for doing that.
Thank you. Thank you.
I have an e-mail from Debbie. She sent this a couple weeks
ago. So sorry Debbie that we're just
getting it to it to it now. She says I'm a little behind on
episodes but I was on vacation and I missed two weeks.
FYII did take more underwear than needed, but my reasoning is
that after I go for a swim and take my suit off, I put on clean
(24:22):
underwear, even if I only wore apair for an hour that day.
I have a thing about putting underwear back on that I haven't
that I've already taken off. That's fair enough.
I think I have that thing too. I don't.
Well, I have a thing when I put on underwear, but that's a
completely different story. Yeah, if they've come entirely
off, they've come off you want. To come back I get.
(24:43):
Yeah, I get sure. I have comments on many shows
that I haven't gotten around descending because I was driving
and then I forgot I was just walking my dog and listened to
episode 119, which coincidentally included an
e-mail from somebody who said they were walking and listening
to their dog. In that episode, you talked
about Dave's friend who had a cat in his freezer.
Yes, we have put a hamster and also a cat in the freezer.
(25:05):
Not at the same time. Oh well, I thought maybe they
were friends or something, I don't know.
The reason was because we wantedto bury them.
The hamster was our daughters. She was 7 or 8 and it was winter
and the ground was frozen. So same issue.
They needed to go in the freezerfreezer until we could dig a
hole. I don't know if that makes a
difference to your disgust, but it was in the downstairs freezer
(25:26):
and not the fridge freezer that has everyday use.
OK, I just the. Deep freezer.
I wonder how properly wrapped the dead.
End, I hope well. Yes, that's all.
Sure, another reason you may need to put a cat in the freezer
happened to my friend. Your cat died at home on the
weekend. This was when the emergency vet
was not operating 24 hours because of a vet shortage, so
(25:47):
they had to put the cat in the freezer until they could take it
to the vet. The smell.
Having said that, there is no excuse to have a cat in your
freezer for six months. No.
Six months is a long term. Is it still there, Dave?
Is it still there? I I believe so.
At last check. Still there?
Yeah, still. There, tell us when that gets
removed Yeah, OK, she says we'll.
(26:08):
Do that. I yeah, we'll continue to ask.
We need to update, Debbie says. In closing, today was the
announcement of Foreman's new job at Country 104.
I love this news and I will now tune into that station.
I kind of stopped listening to the local country.
Radio. After you guys left BX 93 Pure
Country. Take care from Debbie.
Thank you, Debbie. OK, well, fine, Foreman.
(26:29):
He's there, Foreman. He's back.
Yep, back on the air, back doingcountry music.
So. Local country radio once again.
Yes. Thanks to Rachel for taking all
those pictures my mom sent in her last e-mail and posting them
everywhere. I knew we were going to get
fireworks. I told you fireworks.
And you know what? Thanks, Foreman.
Are you upset? I also sent them in our
(26:50):
newsletter, which you can sign up for at underwhelming.ca.
Please do because I put a lot ofwork into that every week and I
would like more subscribers. I've looked at these pictures
everywhere, Foreman. Everywhere.
Yeah, it was nice of your mom. I have baby pictures of Foreman.
You bet your bottom dollar I'm posting it everywhere I can.
Yes, I always liked it when Foreman would be, and I never
(27:13):
understood it, but he used to send us every summer a picture
of himself on a floaty at his cottage.
Yeah, those were. I still have those.
I think those. Are my favorites.
I will post one out. I think I've got you on a dunk
or something. I'll post them upside down.
Yep, I'll post them in the middle of winter saying see you
(27:34):
there. Will you post them here or
there? I will post them everywhere.
Everywhere, Yeah. Thank you, Foreman, for those
always appreciate it. So you're welcome.
Yeah. Yeah, I.
Got to write a poem about that. I see Foreman on a duck.
I see I. Could see foreman on the truck a
train a train a train because I hate him on a dump.
(27:57):
Some of the commentary on said photographs are his cheeks are
so rosy, probably due to everyone pinching them all the
time. Also who cares about baby
foreman? Where's baby Windsor?
Good point. I could probably ask for a photo
(28:17):
of that. Baby Windsor and baby Foreman
side by side would be. I have.
You best believe there's plenty of those.
I have adult Windsor and adult Foreman I could do side by side.
Yeah, in the one of the me in front of the birthday cake that
looks like an Easter Bunny. Me as a quite a small child,
(28:39):
Deborah says. I had that cake too, which is
hilarious because it's an extremely unique cake.
Yeah, it is interesting. Another comment like the
previous one from Sherry that asks where's Winston?
Windsor. Windsor.
No, I like, I like this. I like that trend, yeah.
Start that one. Where's?
Winston yeah, Jerry says. You guys were right about Those
(29:01):
are some mighty cheeks. Yeah, muscular.
And Cheryl, who makes the foreman's elbows up Canadian
Pies. OK, yes.
Wrote. I think you're still cute,
Signed an old cougar. Oh.
(29:21):
Well, that's nice, Foreman. Yes, your dad looks like
Engelbert Humperdinck. Oh, does he?
I don't know. What?
Engelbert Humperdinck. I don't know you.
Shouldn't know who Engelbert Humperdinck even is.
He's a he kind of does, yeah. He's still alive.
He's 89. Yeah, I don't think he looks
(29:43):
like. No one with the eyebrows, Yeah.
There was commentary back in theday of how we were the Bean
family because he looked resembled more like Mr. Bean.
And really? Angle No.
Here's like an old one of angle for me I.
Had a little Mr. Bean. Oh, my father, not me.
Yeah, well, you've got a little Mr. Bean in you.
He's a handsome man. Foreman Rowan Accurdson, your
(30:07):
dad and Engelbert hung for Dink and And yeah, Trudy, actually,
Trudy sends us a lot of messages.
I'm going to try and sum these up, Trudy.
OK, Because this is a lot. Get to some of them and maybe
we'll save a few for the next time.
Maybe it? Would Why did Trudy send us so
many messages? She was applying to a lot of
different things. OK, she says, Congrats.
Did we read this one? Congrats on Rachel on joining
(30:29):
the Hockey League. I love your mindset and sticking
with it. I don't really know how to
skate. So a couple years ago, I joined
a Learn to skate program that was open to adults, but I was
there with toddlers and trainershalf my age.
Either way, I did learn some things and I'm glad I did it.
I would love if we had to learn to play hockey in Windsor for
women. She's from Windsor.
I'll look into that. Yeah.
(30:50):
She says OMG the towel warmer for hot tub towels, your hot,
your towel warmer day. That's our biggest complaint for
the hot tub. Thanks for that idea.
I'm going to have to look into getting that as as a gift for my
husband. There you go for him.
And that's a good Mother's Day gift.
A towel warmer. Well, he's got pots and pans.
(31:11):
OK. She also says and you guys will
love this one. I have started shaming people
about the keg ever since listening to this podcast
because I agree with David Foreman.
So next time any of you are in Windsor, please, please check
out Koma Koma Kitchen of MichaelAnthony.

Yes, try something local. Stop going to the.

(31:55):
friends, enjoying good food and great company, because that's

load at, well that. Sounds like a fun day, Jim.

Oh yeah, I do it four times and it's boring itself.
You so you got to dump your loadin Arkona four times.
Hey, I got I got a traffic note for you guys too.
Hey, well, great. What's that?
Hwy. 4 and 7 is going to be a little scurry.
They're going to start repaving the intersection.
