The nurse, the poor nurse, was my friend's mom and she was at
the Ilderton Medical Clinic. She's using the very smallest
needle because I always worn them.
I don't do well with taking blood.
And so they're like, OK, she uses like the small butterfly
needle that they use for kids. That's what people use on me.
And then as as it's like being sucked out of me like Dracula.

(00:20):
I pass, I puke and then pass out.
I. Remember seeing the text?
I was playing golf and I and I was like, you puked and passed
out. Yeah.
Doing what? Like, yeah, 'cause you didn't
tell me what? Yeah, yeah.
That reminds me of the remember the Florida man caught with weed
in his butt and cracking his that's.

That sick as a dog also coming up we're going to tell you what
the word of the year is. You guys will love it you.
Will love. That.
Great and. Foreman's Foreman's got
something to begin with. But before we do that, we do

(01:54):
have a new sponsor on on the podcast today, but it's not,
it's kind of a sponsor, but. Kind of not a.
Sponsor, it's more of a shout out, yes.
This is a new thing we're going to do.
If you want us to do a shout outfor you, you can buy that.
You can purchase that from us. People do anything you pay us to
do, pretty much. Yes, go to underwhelming not CA.
We've always joked that you could just you get if you want

(02:16):
to send us money, we'll say whatever you want us to say yes
and it's begun today. Sure.
It has begun because now this isnot a repeat sponsor, but we
there was an episode and according to the information I
have here, it was episode 41, which is quite a while ago I

(02:36):
guess. Almost 100 episodes ago.
Yeah. This is 3139 I think. 139 Yeah.
OK, Well we were sponsored by the Remember the book Never Give
Up by Jan Everett. I sure do.
Yes, well, today we are paying tribute to Jan, the author,
artist, mother, grandmother and wife extraordinaire.

(02:59):
Wow, who? Apparently celebrates a landmark
birthday tomorrow as this podcast is being released.
OK, well. Happy birthday Jan.
I know that Jan listens so I know that she'll hear this.

(03:19):
So we want to 1st pay tribute toher for her landmark birthday.
No numbers, I think maybe 25 or something like that.
She might be. Yeah, doesn't matter.
Yeah. If to her children's book never
give up because she's many things and we're going to talk
about her as an author and we read this book before Never give
up. She wrote and she illustrated

(03:40):
this. It was about her husband Johnny
saving turtles on their busy Causeway Rd. in Long Point ON.
This is a book for children of all ages.
Teaches you to never give up. Just like us I guess.
Yes, it says here. It says just like a lesson for
everyone. Yeah, just like us, we keep.
Going you should compare anything to us.

(04:01):
We never give up. Well, she does.
I mean, she's sold over, she's sold nearly 7000 of these books
worldwide. It's incredible.
And I also know that she and herhusband, Johnny, travel all over
southwestern Ontario, reading their book and then teaching
kids and adults how to carry a toy turtle across a makeshift

(04:23):
Rd. Oh, good idea.
And I've participated in it. Yeah, I know how to get a turtle
across the road. Sure.
What a great public service. Do you know to write this book?
And she wrote and illustrated it, and now they go and they
educate children and families. That's amazing.
My understanding you stick out your finger and let it latch on

(04:43):
to you and then you dangle it across to the other side, right?
How you do it? Oh, it's not how you do it.
No. You need to go.
You need to. Go to the shells, you pick up
the other side. You gotta no you.
They carry a shovel in their vehicle.
Actually, oh dude. Oh, OK.
Much more. Especially the snapping.
Turtles, I thought you're I was picturing the turtle carrying a
shovel. No, no, no, no, no anyway.

(05:04):
You don't want the snapping turtles getting on you?
Well, happy birthday. Jan and this episode, this
entire episode is dedicated to you.
There's more. Oh.
There's. More to come.
Very good, let's get to Foreman,puking and Phaeton.
OK. That's what I came here for.
Yes, the main event right off of.

(05:25):
That puking and phaeton. I've done both at the same time.
Do you? See, and that's part of the
reason why we're bringing this up, because I don't even
understand how fainting exists. What?
Like you see the goats just topple over and you wonder what
what happened, how what process go inside your body.
Of course there's fainting goats.
Yes, just the fainting goats done.

(05:46):
Boom, Down, down they go. No, I've fainted a few times.
From what I've learned of possums in the Watching the wild
robot, if you scare them they'lljust pretend they're dead and
and keel over. They faint, yeah.
Yeah, well, they're pretending, right?
Yeah. Well, I think it's what happens.
When you faint what? Do you mean faint?
I've never fainted either. I well, I mean I, I think I've

(06:07):
seen someone faint, but I've never faint.
See, I don't. Even think I've seen a human in
real life in my proximity actually faint, I've never seen
that. Oh, I have.
I have a story. Yeah, I have a story.
OK. Oh, I.
Think I fainted when Dave was around.
We went to you. Didn't faint on around me.
No. Well, I don't know if you were.
We've had a long standing rule on this show.

(06:28):
No fainting. Try my best.
Try to stay awake. I'll try my best if if we.
Can't handle it. How is anybody else going to
handle it? Well, we long ago when we were
working at the radio station, I wasn't even on the morning show
with you yet. No, we all had to go.
The radio people had to go to the hospital.
Or the OR. The radio thon, We used to do

(06:50):
this radio thon and so we were doing some kind of tour and
there was a fake knee and the the doctor was showing how to do
a knee surgery and I just passedright out.
I just dropped like a stone. Because of a knee replacement.
It was so. Well, we were all so bundled up
they made us wear all these. The gown, like the zip up suits

(07:11):
with the boots and the head thing, it was it was hot.
I was going to the operating room while someone had the real
knee. Oh God, opened up.
No, but even the fake knee, I was just like, oh, you're just
digging under the kneecap there,that's all.
Like it was just so I could never work in healthcare.
I fainted you. Fell to the floor.
I fell to the floor. I hit my head on a fire

(07:33):
extinguisher they brought in. I just remember waking up and
there's all these guys who were in my group, like our old boss
Barry and Mark, and they're all standing over me like what
happened to you? You know, you wake up.
You know those movies where you wake up and everybody's looking
at, you're looking up and there's a bunch of people.
That was how I woke up. And I'm like, what the hell

(07:53):
happened? And and then they brought in a
Gurney bed, 'cause we're in a hospital and the doctors took
care of me. Yeah.
And they gave me a ginger ale And then.
And then Jackie drove me home. Jackie drove me home.
Oh. Yeah, you, you would have.
Oh, that's right. I remember that.
Because we used to have to do the hospital tour before we
would do the radio talk. So I'd already done the tour, I
think twice, right. And somehow I, I couldn't make

(08:16):
that tour, right. The one that you fainted on.
And I don't think Jackie wanted to make it either.
So you gave her a viable option to get out?
Of going on go home. She was like, do you want to go
home? I'm like, yeah, I do.
She's. Like I'll drive you.
Yeah, she. Did go.
Yeah, so it worked out. Wow.
Yeah, well, that's see, it wasn't in a hospital setting,
but at school. When you're in Grade 7, you

(08:38):
remember the milestone that happens while you go to Grade 7
is you get jabbed with needles. Yes.
Oh, you do, Yes. You get your hepatitis B and
there's a couple other ones, Harley.
Got 3 HPV and meningococcal yes.Oh.
My daughter got all three yesterday as well.
Three, yeah, three at a time. I know Julia said earlier in the

(09:01):
week. I think it's Thursday and I'm
like, well, no one sent us any info.
And then it was Thursday. So she went to school not
prepared for it, which I think might have been better actually.
You, you repair like you did stay up all night like Oh no I'm
going to get 3 needles tomorrow.It's probably better that she
didn't expect it so but but I think, yeah, some kids didn't

(09:22):
take it very well. No, Harley said.
She she was able to. She used the word cry with her
one friend. I don't think she would really
like burst out crying. Just yeah, it really said she
there's. A tear or two, yeah, you're
nervous, but you get through it and you're OK.
And then that night she had to go to swimming for three hours,
so. Ouch.
I would hurt the arms sore. Yeah, no kidding.

(09:46):
Poor girl. But the first thing she said
when she got home? When I got home from her day, I
say how was your day? And right away the way she
phrased it was good. I got to see someone faint and
someone puke. That's awesome.
That's a great day. She got to.
That's a great. That's a great day at school.

(10:08):
One of like. Those are the days you remember
forever. Yes, Yeah.
Remember the day we got to see someone faint and puke?
Yes. Yeah, well, Julia saw someone
faint, too. One of the kids in her class
fainted. Wow, there's a lot of needles.
Going on for him and I don't know, I don't understand.
Typically it's me that faints her needles.
I don't faint, I have fainted from needles and medical.

(10:29):
It's always surrounding medical things, actually.
You actually you like you're getting a needle is a before or
after where you just fall on thefloor and hit your head on a
fire extinguisher. Well, it's during, typically
during. Well, it's not when I'm getting
a needle, it's when I'm having blood taken.
So if something's being sucked out of me, I don't like that at

(10:50):
all. Like I and so while having blood
taken for whatever medical issueI have, I have fainted and, and
puked on myself at the same time, on yourself.
Well, because I'm sitting in thechair and then I just pass out
and puke and pass out and, and then I have fainted, just
fainted. I had to do when you're

(11:12):
pregnant, you have to drink the juice and then get your blood
taken for the glucose thing. I don't know.
And and so that I I almost passed out then, but I I said
something to someone and they got me lying down with an ice
pack and everything first. Giving a blood sample, yeah, not
like sitting there donating blood just.

(11:33):
A sample. I couldn't even do that.
No, no. Or I've just thrown up because I
had to get some kind of IV. Yeah.
Wow. You're.
Well, it's not amazing, but. Yeah, you're a treat.
Yeah. You're just a treater.
Awful. And I treat, I don't.
Get over it. Why can't you get over that, I?
Don't know. I have.
I don't know. So Julia comes home yesterday

(11:54):
too and says, well, one of the kids fainted and people were
crying and she had a few tears and whatever, that's fine.
But she was OK. And and then my kids know that I
have fainted and thrown up. And so then that leaves Kendall
to ask me, well, what does fainting feel like?
And I'm like, oh, well, yeah, I guess the fainting for me

(12:16):
anyway, I feel I get really hot and like it.
I have overcome with hot and I'malmost sweaty.
And then I feel really light headed and faint, right?
And I'm like, I'm going to like,I feel like my head's kind of
spinning a little bit and I and then I just kind of passed out
or fall or whatever. Yeah, you're a medical marvel.
I just know it's. I don't think so.

(12:38):
I don't think so. I think it's.
That's just how it feels. You are like I would speak in a
school. I remember we had a blood donor
clinic. Ohh, I could never.
Yeah. I had people who donate blood
are are absolute heroes. I am in awe of anyone who is
able to do that and mine. We used to work with several
people who would do it regularly.

(12:58):
Yes, sure. I could.
I can't. I just can't.
I was just looking up because I worked with a guy in Halifax
who's who's the voice of the moose heads.
Yeah, he's donated blood 62 times.
Wow, that's amazing. I wish I could.
Jeremy could when Jeremy was in the hospital, my husband was in
the hospital a few years, a couple years ago almost now.

(13:19):
And he could, you know, they would say to him, well, we've
got, we've got paramedic students here.
Do you mind if they try and put in your IV?
No, no. No, I don't care.
He was like, yeah, that's fine. And I'm like, no, I'm leaving
the room. If it was me, I'd be like,
absolutely not. I need your absolute best, most
experienced nurse or doctor doing this.

(13:40):
Like because I'm not. How you won't?
Because they fucked it up anyways.
They had just stab him like 5 times.
You're. Gonna faint anyway.
Who cares? That's true.
You'll be. Don't even know, right?
Yeah, they could be. To do it while I'm lying on the
floor. Exactly.
Yeah, This guy, the when I was in high school, he went to, he
didn't even, they hadn't even put the needle in him.

(14:02):
He was looking at the guy besidehim.
Get his, you know, they, they did him first.
Watch someone else in the needle.
He. Watched somebody stood up and
keeled over and we were all like, what the.
You can't look at it with you. And cool.
It was really cool. Good time for disclaimer for all

(14:22):
newscasters. Stop zooming in on people get
needles on the news like we don't need to zoom in shot it
doesn't. Bother me, I don't really care.
I I prefer I have to go once a year to get blood sucked out of
me for a number of different reasons.
You just do and I it, it doesn'tbother me at all.

(14:45):
I don't even, I don't even feel it or feel like it hurts.
But I don't want to watch. Like I just stare
straightforward. I don't want to see my blood
coming out. No thanks.
Very much no, but yeah, Harley said two.
She got two in one arm that wereOK for her, and then the one in
the other arm she said she couldquote.
I could feel the juices going in.

(15:07):
Oh. Yeah.
That one hurt. Yeah.
Well, this sets me up good for Ithink in a couple of weeks.
I go for my flu and my COVID shot, right?
We need charm. Yeah, Bing.
Bam. Boom, I should have gotten that
a couple weeks ago. You.
Needed that this is due to underwhelming

(15:39):
demand. The podcast.
The podcast that will make you say out loud I had nothing
better to do. Right.
Yeah. Yeah, that's our goal.
I've exhausted all my other entertainment options.
I have nothing better to do. There's only so few.
Yeah, that's right. And this special edition of the
podcast brought to you by, well,it's a shout out actually, to

(16:04):
Jan Everett, who celebrates a birthday, a milestone birthday,
the day after this podcast is released.
Yay. Happy birthday Jan.
Acclaimed author acclaimed artist Jan.
Everett. I have a couple of Everett
originals hanging in my home. Well, well.
I. Do I Do she?

(16:25):
Apparently I didn't. Well, I I think I was aware of
that. She'd never drawn a picture in
her life. But then in retirement picked up
a brush and is now completed well over 100 paintings.
Wow, good. For her, not by number, Rachel.
I know that's what you're. Thinking that's my thing.
By number. I like to paint by number.

(16:46):
I know you do. They're pretty foolproof.
Yeah, but Jan's a lot better than that.
Yeah. She is such an accomplished
artist that many of her friends and family, including Dave, have
adorned their homes with Jan's work, and some of her drawings
have even been sold. And she also enters her art into
the Norfolk County Fair, and each time she wins a ribbon.

(17:07):
Yes, that's what I've heard. She is an award-winning every
time. That's a big fair.
Yes, it is. Yeah, absolutely.
Shout out to Jan. Shout out to Jan and happy
birthday. Happy birthday.
Yeah, okay, let's get to dictionary.com.
Ever heard of them? Dictionary.com.
Yeah, I think I have. Dictionary.com the.
Poor man's dictionary. Man's Dictionary You just go
online to dictionary.com. Other one Merriam Webster.

(17:30):
That's the rich man's 1, Oxford.If Websters or Oxford Dictionary
was ontariodictionary.com would be Norfolk.
Right. I see no offense.
To the County Fair. Actually follow Merriam Webster
on like Instagram or something and they're pretty funny.
Some of their stuff's pretty funny.
Just. Saying well then you will enjoy.
Just say. Dictionary is funny.

(17:51):
This is pretty funny too. Actually, whoever's yeah, OK.
Dictionary.com officially revealed its Word of the Year
just this week as we are recording this.
OK, they announced that. Are you ready?
Yeah, the 2025 Word of the Year is 6/7.
No it isn't. That's 2 words. 6/7.

(18:14):
No, it goes like this 6/7. 6767.6-7 and they had to time it the
last week perfectly because theydidn't know if the Blue Jays
would win in Game 6 or 7. 6. 7. Right, For those who don't know
what 6-7 is all about, I don't know who you are.

(18:35):
You must, because my you know I.Shouldn't have kids around you.
Yeah, well, my. See, I have a she'll be 19 soon
and she does not say 6-7, right?She's not care for it.
Yeah, but she's well aware of it.
Yes, she's well aware of it. Thinks it's funny but would
never do it. It doesn't mean anything, no.

(18:56):
And it's like. But she's not.
This is apparently the word has become popular with Gen. alpha,
which would be I think. Your kids.
Our kids. Your.
Kids, both of them, 8 and 12. It's a hot, hot phrase.
Yeah, yeah. The teachers at school, I think
get annoyed with it a lot because that's what but anytime

(19:20):
there's a six and A7, which is more often than you think.
They tend to go one after the other.
Well, if you see it out somewhere, I don't know,
whatever somebody mentioned 67 or whatever, actually my my kids
were like, is, is Gigi 67? And I was like, I think, I think
so she's 6-7, you know, she'll love that.

(19:42):
I've put that out there, but. Yeah.
She anyway, so I got to tell herthat you're 6/7.
Yeah, you know where it comes from by the way, the 6/7.
I think it's a TikTok stupid TikTok thing.
It doesn't really mean anything.There's a few sources, there's a
couple of. There's a song and and.
Yeah, there's a song called. There's a song called Doot Doot

(20:04):
6/7 from Skrilla that came out Ithink last year.
Isn't it a better? NBANBA player who's 6 foot
seven, yeah. Lamella Wall, Yeah. 6-7 And then
there's the six AV and kid who went viral earlier this year for

(20:24):
using the term at a kids basketball game.
They were there was a game and they flashed over to this kid
and he goes 6 AV and then it andand that went by.
Took off. Yes, wow.
What does it mean? Nothing.
Nothing. They just say it when there's a
six and A7. But if it's going to be in
dictionary.com, they must have to have a definition.

(20:45):
It's like it says here. That's a good job, according.
To the PhD who's in in charge orone of the directors at
dictionary.com? Well.
What a what a great use of your doctorate.
That's right. It's part inside joke, part
social signal, and part performance.
When people say it, they're not just repeating a meme, they're
shouting a feeling. It's one of the first words of

(21:08):
the year that works as an interjection, a burst of energy
that spreads and connects peoplelong before anyone agrees on
what it actually means. OK, I don't think any of that
means anything. Well, I still don't understand.
6/7 shows the speed at which a new word can rocket around the
world as a rising generation enters the global conversation.

(21:31):
So these are young kids and theymanaged to make something
happen. I get it.
You know that doctor Becky? Yeah.
On TikTok? Yeah.
Yep. Who's an actual doctor?
Yeah, yeah. She had a good, she had a good
hot take. He's like, you know, if you're
getting annoyed by the 6-7 or you're getting mad at your kids
doing 6/7, you got to you got towork with them.
It's their they just want to belong.

(21:53):
Imagine being in class and a couple kids are laughing when
the teacher says OK do problem 6:00 and 7:00 and they go 6-7
and now all of a sudden you havea chance to say 6-7 and maybe
you're not even friends with these kids.
But in these moments, right in that second you feel like you
belong. That's not meaningless.
The 6-7 is meaningless, but the feeling is so important.

(22:15):
If you're finding this annoying in your family, instead of just
shutting it down, think about another Ave. for your kid to get
the feeling they're looking for.Maybe they're kind of saying
they'd like to have some family inside jokes.
Actually, I kind of agree with that.
I think that's. Fine, I guess sure.
I don't. It doesn't really annoy me, I
just. It just doesn't mean anything to
me. Look the.

(22:35):
Best way to have something not annoy you anymore is just to
just to start taking part. Get on the bandwagon.
Just do it. Do it back to your kids and they
will stop. The more the old people start
doing it quicker, we'll get rid of it too.
They'll get. Rid of it.
So there you go. Just do it back.
The word of the year. It'll work.
Weird other words that were on the short list but didn't make

(22:56):
it include a gentic. You'll have to look that up.
OK. Or responding.
Gen. Z stare.
Gen. Z stare.
Oh yeah, over tourism. The Gen.
Z Gen. Z stare.
You talk to them and they just stare at you and have you
respond. Over tourism, a tariff and trad
wife just some of. The trad wife, Yeah.

(23:17):
Almost, but didn't beat out 6/7.Right, OK.
Yeah, I was starting to see stories of like the men who are
choosing to be trad son. Trad Sons.
Just stay at home and do nothing.
Yeah. And I thought, no, get out.

(23:46):
This is due to underwhelming demand with Dave, Rachel and
Foreman. It's the podcast that's like the
weather in N67. Yeah, it actually kind of is.
Is it 6 or 7? Am I right?
You are? Yeah.
Which one? 'S worse because I'm going.
I'm leaning towards 6. Right.
Yeah, 7 is warmer. And, and this podcast, this

(24:10):
podcast is a shout out to Jan Everett 6767 celebrating a
birthday. Right.
Tomorrow, as this podcast is released, her birthday is
tomorrow. It's a landmark birthday and
we're being paid to extol her virtues.
Yes. You can do that with the people
in your own life. So underwhelming.

(24:31):
Not CA, but what a great use of this podcast.
Underwhelming.ca, Yes, if you Yeah, we'll shout out whatever
you want. She's also a grandmother and a
wife, and she is as a grandmother, second to none.
Jan's kind and quiet demeanor. Youngsters flock to her side,
which is probably why she wrote a children's book and it's been
so successful. After becoming a grandmother,

(24:55):
that triggered Jan to pen another book for kids called
Keep Going, about her granddaughter's quest to keep
trying no matter the obstacle. That's amazing.
So she's a two time author. Finally.
She's an amazing wife. Of course she is.
She treats John like a king and never gives up pampering him.

(25:15):
Wow, never gives up. Lucky man, John, That's amazing.
Himself, You, you also, you saidshe's an amazing grandmother.
She's also, you know, a mother. She has two, of course.
Yes, great kids. They really are great kids. 2
great kids yeah yeah. Who have been now given her a
grandkid too, which is absolutely yes.
You just never know what you cando until you try.

(25:37):
Because Jan didn't even become an author and an artist until
she retired from a sterling 40 year career as a manager with
the federal government. Wow, she's had a great career.
Now she's got another new careeras an artist and an author.
She does it all. She does it all.
She does it all. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to Jan. Yes.

(25:58):
And all those. Great fun factual tidbits of
information about Jan. Absolutely, and I have some more
fun factual information that youmight like to hear.
I really do. Those are fun facts, Rachel.
Rachel. Usually factual, usually
occasionally fun. Let's just see.

(26:20):
They're fun. Let's just see, OK?
All right, all right. Maybe I won't start with that
one because you won't like that one.
Already we know it's not fun. OK.
All right. Well, you're here we go.
Your very existence, you even just being here and being alive,
is a miracle when you combine the chances of your ancestors

(26:41):
reaching reproductive age, maintaining A continuous
lineage, and your parents meeting and successfully
reproducing. Making us think about that.
The odds of your birth were nearly zero, and yet here you
are. And yet they all attended
Halloween parties where no one was allowed to talk.

(27:02):
OK. I don't think that's where, I
don't think that's where that happened.
That's you. That's your fault.
OK, You've done this again. All right, so anyways, Forman,
you're here, and we're happy that you're sitting here in your
miraculous form. Anyway.
What a. What a What a?

(27:22):
What a hilarious knee slapping fact.
I might not have been. Here I thought that was.
I thought that was just fascinating.
You might not OK. Well, OK, well, that was.
But Forman's parents went to a Halloween party.
There and yes, yeah, I get that.I I understand that.
But shouldn't that be a segment called Rachel's Fascinating
Facts? OK, fine, I guess.

(27:46):
OK, here's one. You know when you're driving and
you're looking for an address maybe, or you're looking for
something, you turn the radio off, right?
You turn off the music. Go turn it down.
When you're backing up, you're going to turn it down for some
reason. Got to turn this off so I can
see better. Right?
Well, loud sounds can actually interfere with your visual
processing, which is why you might turn the music down when

(28:09):
you're looking for an address, or your parallel parking or
whatever it is you're trying to do.
Not particularly fun, but again,fascinating.
Maybe in a different segment that should have been.
Why? Because it's fascinating.
OK, it's not. Me, it's.
I didn't even titter at that one.
You didn't titter, no. Nothing.
Most people didn't even hear it because they had to turn this
down to go park. Yes, exactly.

(28:37):
OK, the word crisp. The word crisp starts at the
back of your mouth and ends at the front.
That I like. We're all trying it now.
It's. Just stupid.
Crisp, crisp, crisp, crisp. How do you like?
Your coffee. I like my coffee crisp.

(28:57):
You'd like your coffee, my sweet.
You don't know from joke what 6.767 OK to your brain, love is
essentially an addiction and breakups cause it to go through
withdrawal. I guess that's not really fun,
but Jesus might explain some things.

(29:19):
That's actually quite sad. OK.
All right, just feel like. OK, we'll move on to another.
Feel like a dart right now I. Feel like I need to.
Go have a dart. Just smoking.
I just. Sit by myself in a bar and tell
my troubles to a bartender, OK? Grab the Crown Royal.

(29:39):
Thanks for that fun fact. All right, well, if you are
truly one in a million, these people will say that.
Finally, we all are. We're all miracles.
We all shouldn't exist accordingto Rachel's fun fact, right?
If you truly are one in a million, then there's actually
roughly 8140 people just like you.

(30:04):
What? So one in a million, but there's
a lot more people than that. Because there's 7 billion or so
people. There's like 6 or 7.
Billion. OK, we're doing the math here.
That's a little OK. That's really fun.
All right. Think of all the other people
going 6-7 right now. That's just one of you.
Yeah, yeah. Did you know that sea otters

(30:27):
hold hands while they're sleeping so that they don't
drift apart? That's nice.
Yeah. They're so cute, right?
But what happens when you know when you when, when, when they
break up? Because, as you know, love.
Right, right. Yeah.
And they need to go have a dart out their.

(30:48):
Coffee break or a stiff drink, right?
It's after one of them starts putting their cold foot on the
other while they're trying to sleep.
You don't like that? No, no.
OK, no, all right. Last one here.
Dinosaurs roamed the Earth for about 165,000,000 years.

(31:09):
Are we going to do more math? Just to put things in
perspective, humans. Have Rachel's perspective facts.
Humans have existed for just .2%of that time.
They there was a lot longer we we think of them as being like
it was so long ago and it was, but they they had full control
of the earth. They roamed the earth for a lot

(31:31):
longer than we we've ever been here.
Perspective, right and. Where is why we're shutting it
all down. Yeah, where are they now?
Well, they, they had their time.They had their, they had their
turn. Now it's our turn.
Did we do them in? Are you are you suggesting?
That meteor wasn't. It was it a?
Meteor. Yeah, I think so.

(31:51):
The meteor did the man, and thensomehow we came and yeah.
Yeah, and then the otters started holding hands and then
they and then they broke up and it got.
Really depressing. 6-7 and here we are.
Yeah, wow, What the? History of human the Earth.
I'm telling you what a. Humankind.
What a fun segment. OK.
It's the most fun version yet I'm having.

(32:12):
I hate you guys. I love the fun I.
Hate hate you guys. Take a drink, have a dart, she
said it. This is due to underwhelming
demand. It's a podcast it's Dave, Rachel

(32:34):
and Foreman and this podcast hasbeen brought to you by actually
it's not really brought to you by this podcast is paid for like
we're being paid to tell you that it's Jan Everett She is
celebrating a huge birthday, a huge milestone birthday.
We don't care what what that number is, that's not relevant,
but we. Think it's 25 ish something like

(32:56):
that. 19. But we have been, we have been
paid, which we like. And you wish her a very.
Happy. Birthday.
She's an accomplished decorator.Is she?
Wow. Well, apparently family and
friends have all benefited from Jan's designs.
I know that I have. Oh, have you?
Yeah, OK. He has a flair for decorating A

(33:17):
flair. Very good.
At her, I'm not very good at it.Some people just have a knack
for it. She's got that so.
She must. Yeah, that her her apartment
apparently was actually featuredin a video promoting their new
environmentally friendly building that was shown across
the province. How about that?
All right, how about that? So John has wrapped this up and
John is Jan's husband and the person who gave us the money to

(33:41):
say all these nice things. Yes.
Says that from everything that Jan does, it's easy to see Jan
doesn't just count for years. She makes her years count.
Wow, that's. For her, yeah.
That's crochet. On a pillow.
That's wow. Anyway, Well, that's.
The way to live, that's the way to live.

(34:02):
Very romantic of you, John, to purchase this for Jan as a
tribute to her because this is amilestone birthday and we know
that you want to honor her. We want to honor her for you.
So there you go. Thank you and happy birthday to
Jan. Happy birthday, Jan from
everybody here due to underwhelming demand anybody
that's everybody. Happy birthday, Jan.
We have a great time. Great day, celebrate, have fun.

Thank you, Sherry. Yes, thank you, Sherry.
Thank. You very much.
Thanks for doing that. We got a message from Janice and
she's got something for all of us here.
Good evening to the three of you.

(35:25):
She wrote this in the evening. This e-mail is geared mostly to
Dave. I believe it was last week's
episode where the discussion of washing feet was discussed.
This brought back to mind the days of your radio show.
There was a discussion of washing legs.
I'm sure you remember saying whydoes anyone do that?
As for the time change, she says, well, as a boomer, I still

(35:46):
have a good old clock radio. I worked in restaurants my whole
work life. Every time change signs got
posted. It's amazing how all the young
people have all the smart electronics but yet still
managed to be late. This podcast brings us many
laughs, which we really need these days.
Rachel, keep up your sports stories for us.
Foreman. When when I'm out in the

(36:08):
afternoon, listening to your stories and contests also makes
me laugh on Country one O 4. That's good.
Thanks to all of you from Janice.
Thank you Janice, that's so nice.
Thank. You very much.
Appreciate it, Janice. Yeah, wonderful.
Yeah. Thank you to Steven for wasn't
letting this topic die. Steven G Kirkpatrick says.

(36:28):
Hey Rachel, we also freeze our butter because my wife does a
lot of bacon and we buy butter when it goes on sale.
I think Dave and Foreman are crazy.
Also, we freeze cheese and milk too.
It lasts longer. Yeah.
Milk Steve. Cheese.
I heard a lot of you're just. Looking for things to freeze
now, yeah? I've gotten a lot of messages
from several people saying they freeze butter since that

(36:51):
episode, just so you know. Freezing butter is so dumb.
Including from Bonnie, who sent us an e-mail.
Can I just still more on this? Oh God, there's so much more.
But she says a bunch of other things too.
Bonnie says. Can I say how much I love being
in on the red sky in the morningjoke?
I fell for it once and I had my text message along with several

(37:13):
other gullible folks posted on Facebook for the world to see.
I am. I immediately clued in lol.
You know what they say, red sky in the morning, They'll post
your text with no warning. I am also a full size chocolate
bar house for Halloween. What's your address?
And a can of pop because why not?

(37:34):
I do in fact live north of fan shop up here in BC.
However, there's like 10 kids inmy neighborhood so it really
isn't that expensive. Rachel, I am with you on the
freezing butter. Thank you very much.
Not just so it lasts longer, butit would take up so much space
in the fridge when I can just keep it stashed in the deep
freeze. I think I currently have about 6
in there. That's a good, that's a good

(37:55):
little stash. Dave, you.
Need all that butter for? To bake it's it's Christmas
baking season now. You're going to use six things
of butter to bake. Or depending on how much. 7.
It's 6/7. Six or seven, Yeah, Dave, Bonnie
says. Dave, please share your thoughts
on Taylor Swift's new album Jim can deal with it we wouldn't

(38:16):
have we wouldn't have you 3 if it wasn't for country radio and
Taylor Swift began in country radio she.
Sure did. Yeah, I have not listened to the
whole thing. I I did watch the the video for
the first single which I really liked, really liked that song.
So what can I tell? You we've listened to the whole
thing. I like it.
I like it. Foreman, you liked it?
Yeah, I think that is pretty good.

(38:37):
My favorite? One is Opalite, that's my
favorite song. OK, everybody says that.
Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, my my daughter's favorite
song is The Fate of Ophelia. She likes that one.
That's the video. That's the video I watched.
It's really good, yeah. Well done, Bonnie continues.
I had to laugh about the mentionof the time change when I'm in
BC. We don't do the time change and
holy fuck is it glorious. Especially in the spring after a

(39:00):
year up here. It's one of the top reasons I'm
never leaving. But if it makes you feel better,
it snowed 6 inches on Sunday, October 26th and stuck.
And we had a light dusting on Thanksgiving weekend.
No, thank you. Also Foreman Dollarama has
crunch bars. Hey.
Glad to have you back after yourbreak from Bonnie.
Thank you, Bonnie. Thank you, Bonnie.
That is northern BC and Saskatchewan.

(39:21):
No time change. It is lovely, Yeah, Although
it's still annoying because the whole world changes around you.
And then when things happen, yougot to be, is that an hour
earlier or two hours or later? Now then, you're confused.
Yeah, then you're. Confused.
We got a voice memo through underwhelming.ca from Scarlett.
Oh, good new one. Hello, Dave, Rachel and Foreman.

(39:42):
It's Scarlett here. In regards to Foreman having his
spouse wanting or not wanting towatch sports with him, I have
the opposite. Mine's not really big into
baseball, football or hockey except when it comes to playoffs
or if my team's playing. He will make sure that the TV is
on and ready to go if I'm dealing.

(40:03):
Playing with the kids. Anyway, glad that you guys are
all back and are having a great time.
Talk to you later, bye. Oh, so he doesn't watch?
Cheetahs. But he makes sure it's on for
her. That's that's.
Lovely, Very nice, So. Very nice to do that.
Super thoughtful, Yeah. Speaking of what, she should
read the e-mail from Jim Bag because he hates me.
Yeah, Jim Bag sent sent another just one sentence e-mail.

(40:27):
Dave should be deported for his hatred towards the Toronto Blue
Jays. I should, but you can't do that.
The country and, you know, sorry.
You know, I and I was full. Hatred.
It's just, it's ambivalence. Sorry, Foreman, it's.
I did have another person message me and say I don't care.
If it was the Tigers, I would care.
And I said, oh, you and Dave together.

(40:48):
Yeah, so exactly. This is the only team I've ever
cared about that's like 1 something while I'm alive.
Like, you know, the Raptors was very much very bandwagon.
I watched a few playoff games and you get into a near the end
I was, I've never been a big basketball watcher, but this is
like finally something like they've actually done something

(41:11):
a team I like. Yeah, OK, amazing.
Well. Amazing.
Good for you. Yeah, good.
For me. Yeah, we have another.
Yes, we do have one more voice memo.
Great, one more. And it's come from the only
other province for some reason where you can purchase a Jays
5050 ticket. Nova Scotia.
OK, they always say. And you can buy one now in

(41:32):
Ontario OR Nova Scotia. That's it.
OK. Yes, it's Scotty.
OK I'm trying to get caught up. It's Scotty calling or messaging
or whatever this is. So I'm I'm at the Kia Pete
episode when they when you said that the baboon made a fart that

(41:52):
sounded like a moped. Is it possible that was a moped?
This is probably a question that's been answered by now, but
you know, the FRC did kind of sound like a moped.
I'm not sure. Oh, and I'm not even through the
whole episode yet. The other thing is Mum bucks to
me now. I thought mum bucks is what
happens when you try to ride mumlike a horse.

(42:15):
Anyway, I'm going to get back toit.
Yes, I wouldn't like. I would probably buck if that
happened. They wouldn't like.
That and now that's painted a picture that never will get out
of my head. You can picture Rachel the
fainting horse and puking.
