(00:00):
Are you guys on the Teamu train?Yeah, yeah.
I thought you might be. I didn't know that, but I knew
that. Yeah, my wife, I think, has
really started to really like Teamu.
Yeah, I've got so much stuff from there for Superjeep.
It's awesome. But you're not getting the same
things that my wife's that I think that's the difference.
(00:22):
What's she getting? I'll bet you you're not getting
what we're getting off of team. Whenever I'm ready, it's always
you, Rachel. OK, I'm ready are.
You ready? Raring to go.
Man, I have to wait. Please don't.
I'll start. This is this is due to due to
(00:48):
underwhelming demand the the podcast with Dave, Rachel and
Foreman. The podcast that would make the
perfect gift for Mother's Day, especially if you and your mom
aren't getting along. Just send us to her.
Want to qualify that on this fine podcast today, The benefits
(01:09):
of interprovincial free trade with Foreman.
I have no idea what the hell that means.
I just. I do.
I don't know what it means. Riveting.
I don't, yeah. I think what it is.
Though. I think it's that's.
Foreman gets cheaper beer or something like that, not.
Beer. It just sounds boring.
No, it's going to be something we all want to jump on board
with, I'll tell you that. All right, there's a better tea.
(01:31):
Yep. Rachel's dog is apparently even
more anxious than we. Thought yeah, yeah.
And we're going to start with when you really deteriorate in
life, because I find this fun. Oh, good fun right off the top.
Right off the bat. That's in point here we are
doing this podcast. Yes.
(01:52):
The end. The end we've.
Deteriorated. That's where we did.
This is we've we started a while.
Ago This is the end, this is theend, the end.
This is a deterioration I. Had a guy on I was chatting with
a guy on on country 104 who is has some he part of his business
is a is a gym and part of his cell line is we help people die
(02:14):
as slowly as possible. I like.
That that's a good thing? That's true.
Yeah, I said, yeah, you should have that on a flyer.
That's perfect. Yeah.
Well, this will I I this. Is Jim.
This is sort of part of that. Whenever we would do talk about
things, where you go, you know what you spend way too much
money on or you know what you spend.
Don't want to know? No one wants to know that so.
(02:36):
How much do you spend on coffee a year?
Don't tell me, don't tell me. I don't want to know.
Yeah, right. This is a study that's basically
like that. It tells you the exact age when
all of the bad things you do catch up with you and start to,
you know, harm you. All this sitting on my ass, all
(02:57):
the eating peanut butter and chocolate Easter eggs.
That's it. OK, all of this will get you at
the age beginning at this age, and then it just gets worse.
Oh good. So what are the what is?
Well, what are the like the worst things?
What are the the offending behaviors then?
(03:18):
What are suggesting? Yeah, what happens?
Well, they're suggesting things like smoking, drinking, not
exercising. Those are the, those are the
basic bad things that we do. You don't have to.
If you don't smoke, you're way ahead of the game to begin with.
If you don't drink, I'm not inviting you over, but good for
you. And if you don't exercise that.
(03:40):
Doesn't drink anymore. And I'm only kidding.
Yeah, that's a joke. That's a joke.
OK, Those are the those are the,you know, top three.
But Rachel's right. If you if you're eating, you
know poorly and. Peanut chocolate eggs.
Well, you're suggesting though that you can do those things a
consequence free Willy nilly andtell an age.
(04:01):
That's what I that's. What?
There's a tipping point, No, Butwhat happens?
Like what happens after that? I get that these things are bad
for you, but then what happens when you start to deteriorate?
Like take a guess. You were going to guess how old.
OK, well, I'm going to guess 40 because 40 is when my friends
and I would start talking about ailments, generally the ones
(04:22):
that we had in comparing, Yeah. Yeah, you, you.
That's my guess. OK, Well, that's fair.
I mean, I guess that's. Fair, I'm guessing Daves
thinking you ain't seen nothing now when you.
Get to a certain age. All you have to do is sit with
older people and listen to us talk about elements.
It's just. I'm telling you it begins at 40
if you don't. Remember.
But it's gotta be like 5050. Five.
(04:45):
No, it's younger. It's actually younger than 55
and 50 and 40. Apparently it's 36.
Ohh, you guys have already. You've already gone by.
Yes. No, like Forman.
Thinks it's 50 because he hasn'tturned 40 just yet.
He's in his 40. Years started talking about all
of his ailments because he's not40 yet.
(05:06):
That's why he thinks it's 50. If you're underage 40, I'm
telling you that's the tipping point you'll begin talking
about. No, it's 36, I just told.
You 36, right? So they tracked hundreds of
people, kids who were born in 59until they hit the age of 61,
and found that those who regularly smoked, boozed,
(05:27):
lounged around in their younger years ended up sicker and more
depressed as they aged. And on average, those people's
health started to decline at theage of 36.
They this was people born in 1959.
They they were. Tracking.
Yeah, 1950. 9 like throughout their life's life life.
(05:50):
A lot of things have changed. A lot of things have changed,
but a lot more people smoked back then.
People don't, well, people don'tsmoke cigarettes as much, but if
you're vaping or you're smoking anything, it's still impacting
your lungs, right? And so that I would say if
you're going to be doing, if you're going to have weed or do
the gummies, do edibles, don't smoke it.
(06:10):
Like that's my recommendation toyou.
There we go. Health advice for.
Me it's legal that's. Going to be if.
You're going to do it. Don't smoke it.
At the very least, save your lungs.
Take it from someone unlike Rachel, who never smoked
probably a cigarette in her life, am I right?
(06:30):
No, but I have but not. Many.
But not many. No, I was never a smoker.
I was a smoker. Don't ever start smoking.
Ever, ever, ever. That's my and that's good
advice, by the way, right? Ever, ever ever start smoking.
That means dev's been going way downhill since 36.
Yeah, I was smoking at 36, but. What age were you when you quit
(06:54):
smoking? Quite, quite a ways.
After that I'm trying to remember, it's been a long time.
Before you. Before that, no.
Before that, before that, it's been a long time.
My the amazing thing with quitting smoking, for those who
do smoke and I, I still can't believe anybody smokes, but they
do. If you quit vaping's a
(07:15):
completely different story. But what I found is I used to
suffer terribly from colds, and when I quit smoking, it just all
stopped. You know, I still got colds.
They didn't go away. I just didn't suffer as much.
This is a respiratory thing. Right, so.
Anyway, the findings here, what the research basically says,
(07:36):
it's very important to tackle your risky health behaviors as
early as you can to prevent damage from building up over the
years. Because they found that people
act, people suffered, they got depressed, they were unhappy,
sure. And you know, could lead to an
early death. Who knows, right?
Well, yeah, you have health issues early on.
(07:56):
That sucks. The other way to look at
informing is the way that you looked at it, which is enjoy the
partying and all the debauchery you can, and then on your thirty
36th birthday, yeah, just quit. Just knock it all off.
That's it, I'm done. Well, if you that's it, I'm
done. I'm gonna go.
Her when you're 36, how easy is that to quit?
Not it's not. Easy to quit, but that's what I
(08:16):
would set my heart on like if you don't smoke now, don't
start. But if you want to have a few
drinks and you know sit around alot and eat badly, right?
Do it until you're 36 and then maybe start to clean up your.
Act Yeah. Start by.
One regret of my life and I tellmy youngest daughter this all
the time. I wish I had looked after myself
(08:37):
a little bit better when I was your age, when I was young.
After yourself, now you're pretty healthy.
As healthy as I can be, I try. But think how much healthier he
would have been. And he started at 36, right?
That's I could. Be one of those super seniors.
Yeah. Dad, I'm just an average super.
Seniors. My dad's a super senior.
(08:59):
He's pretty good. Yeah.
Yeah, he's pretty healthy. He's almost 80.
Yeah, he's pretty healthy. Yeah, he's.
Doing all right, then he's doingOK.
You guys, you're 36, you're past36.
Well, I've. Already got ailments so I don't.
I'm all down here. Anymore Foreman?
No. I mean, I don't have any
prescriptions yet, if that's what.
You mean I don't either? I do actually I.
(09:23):
Do I have I have to take an allergy pill?
But that's allergies. I don't know that.
Doesn't count, no. That doesn't count.
Yeah. Yeah.
So you're looking after. You're not debauching anymore,
Rachel. No.
Oh, I don't really debauch, you know I don't.
Did you ever debauch? Really.
Yeah, when in my 20s, and it kind of eased off in my 30, once
I had kids, I didn't. Really.
Yeah, that's where I'm thinking part of this study might be
(09:46):
leading to is that by the time you're 36, you don't really want
to debauch all that much anyway.Is debauch a word?
Because that is now. It is now, yeah.
It is well. I don't know.
And I we don't drink very much at all.
Like I I might have one drink a week.
Maybe that's a good thing. But I eat chocolate Easter eggs,
chocolate peanut butter Easter eggs, you know, like I was just
(10:07):
doing that. And all year long.
No, but I'll find other chocolate peanut butter things,
so that's bad. Yeah, that's, I wouldn't call
that debauchery. Though no it's not.
I'm not a partying. Generally no.
I think you're right though, forhim.
And I think there becomes a certain point in your life where
you just go, you know, I'd really like to, but.
(10:28):
I'll watch the White Lotus fall asleep for most of it and ask my
husband what happened. Who's that?
Where are they? What's going on?
OK, there you go. Will you ask your husband
that's. OK, that's all you.
Have because that's what happened at your house.
(10:50):
This is due to Underwhelming Demand, the podcast that reminds
you this Mother's Day to be thankful that it wasn't your mom
who kept your breast milk in their freezer for 40 years.
Thought I threw. I thought I would throw that in.
Yeah. Just happy Mother's Day.
Yep. If anyones looking for a science
(11:12):
project, I heard there's some old breast milk waiting.
Waiting for a lab? Yeah.
Yeah, someone called Country 104today and was like, oh, by the
way, I enjoy your podcast. I can't, I'm gonna go listen to
the new one later. And I was like, oh, you're
you're in for a treat because mymom sent an e-mail.
Yeah, maybe she'll leave us a voicemail one day.
(11:35):
That would be the ultimate. I think it's easy.
To do at underwhelming.ca. That's right.
There you go, Mom. Well, you know, I was talking
about my. I don't know, I could segue a
couple of ways, actually with this.
Oh, now my brain's just going. Already off to a bad start, OK.
Yeah, well, the minute. You bring up the word Segway,
then it doesn't work. Not really one anymore.
(11:55):
Gone. No.
OK. Fine, I was talking about my
anxiety medication and it may run in the family because my dog
has some now. Or perhaps Speaking of Mother's
Day, I'm a dog mom and my baby has to have anxiety medication.
(12:16):
But hang on a second. Mom, Mom.
You're I'm a mom. You're a mom.
Mom for baby who? Also has a.
Dog that you didn't, That dog came from another family.
Yeah, yeah, I. Hope.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, I didn't birth the
dog, no. No.
Well, we knew that, but it sure sounded that way.
(12:38):
Well, if you have a dog, you're a dog.
But you But you adopted the dog.We adopted this dog.
Yeah. So Roxy is 4 now.
She's a little Bichon. And.
I thought you were going to say something else, but yeah, well.
She's also that. She's also that, yeah.
So if you've been keeping up with this podcast, maybe you've
(12:58):
heard me talk about this before.Roxy hates my husband.
And periodically, if I post a photo or something, people will
message me, say, oh, how's it going with Roxy and your
husband, Jeremy? She still hates them.
Nothing has changed. She still growls when he enters
the room unexpectedly to her. She will scatter away from him.
(13:18):
She's cons if he's walking around doing stuff he she is
constantly scurrying to either get away from him and or be
closer to me because I'm going to save her from him obviously.
What about him? How does has he given up trying
to please her then? Yeah.
Well, no, because he he will give her a full plate of
chicken. If we are having chicken or
(13:40):
ground Turkey, whatever. Like if we're having any kind of
meat like that, that's that is plain that he can put on a plate
for her. He will give her a full plate of
chicken, for instance. She will not go near it until he
puts it down beside my dining room chair and then walks away
and leaves the room. Then she will go over and eat
(14:00):
it. She will not go near it until
he's gone at probably if I'm also close to it.
I have many things to say about this, including why are you
feeding your dog your chicken? Well, if we have extra chicken,
she'll get some, yeah. But I, if I had given my dog, if
I had given my dog food scraps and he would, he would beg for
(14:22):
food scraps all the time. But then it just never worked
out. We don't give him food scraps
because he'll throw it up or youjust can throw it up.
You got to, you know, you got togive him the the proper food.
Yeah, but your dog was diabetic.Yeah, but that was before the
dog. The diabetes has nothing to do
with it. Well, he probably had a
sensitive tummy. And it was a bichon.
(14:42):
OK, well, she doesn't throw it. Up and didn't like me.
Well, your dog. Like you no more.
Than. Are you reading my mail?
I know, but your dog liked you alot more than my dog likes
Jeremy. She hates him.
She won't go near him. She's terrified of him.
If he gets up and she's sitting behind me on the couch, like up
on the back of the couch and andand she comes over.
(15:05):
Not allow that either, by the way.
She's up there because that's where she can see Jeremy, keep
her eye on him. She's.
Always staring at the. Pole through.
Him 20. 4/7. That's the dog, that's.
Her trying to be taller than him.
Yeah, that's the dog trying to usurp Jeremy.
That's the dog trying this. Is not a dog training session.
I'm just telling you I'm. Telling you does the dog like to
(15:28):
like you? Let the dog on your bed?
Does the dog want to sleep on your pillow?
On your head. You're going to love this.
I put her on Jeremy's pillow. Oh my.
So you're not supposed to teeth.Because I don't want her on my
pillow, of course. Not yeah.
But if I'm if she sleeps with me, it's because I'm in bed
alone. It's not she won't come in the
(15:50):
bed if he's there. If I, if we're both in the bed
together and she for some reasonhas to come in the room, she
will go under the bed and not come out until he's gone.
So if she's sitting up on the couch behind me and I'm, and he
comes over to sit with me and show me something or whatever,
she growls. She jumps up to run away.
She wants to get away from him as fast as possible and, and
(16:11):
she'll hurt herself, you know, jumping and leaping off the
couch just to get away from him as fast as she possibly can.
Wow. So we have gone to training,
which didn't really do much. She still hates him.
And the trainer even said we can't make her like him.
We can make her tolerate him a little better, but we can't make
(16:31):
her like him and she still hatesus.
It didn't, I mean, whatever. So we just kind of stopped.
Although he tries to give her treats, he tries to give her
chicken, he tries to give her, you know, high value treats like
that. And she still won't go near it
until he's well enough away thatshe can eat without being
attacked by him and 'cause she won't put her head down anyway.
(16:52):
So I went to the vet this week and they gave me anxiety
medication for Roxy. So we're now going to try.
I haven't started it yet 'cause it was only the other day.
We are going to try and, and it's a supplement.
I don't really know if this is areal thing.
I have no idea. But she's gonna, we're gonna try
(17:13):
it. I don't know if it'll help.
She won't make her like him, butit might make her chill out a
little bit 'cause she's just not.
She's a tough nut. Like you can't crack this dog.
She doesn't like you, she doesn't like you.
She loves Julia. The hierarchy in the house is
me, then Julia, then Kendall, 'cause she's a little more
unpredictable, and then everybody else in the world, and
(17:36):
then Jeremy. She would like you guys more
than Jeremy for sure. I don't think so.
Oh, yeah, yeah. About that.
She would, yeah. She'll, she'll go up and sniff
other. She's better with women.
But if, you know, if we're walking or whatever, she'll
sniff other men, like at the busstop or she'll go up to them and
let them kind of pet her a little bit and they can buy her
(17:57):
love and that. But Jeremy cannot.
She was totally fine. You did.
Yeah, you did. Oh wow.
Anyway, I don't. Know what you brought.
Up earlier you would have reallysent the dog into a frenzy.
Me. Why?
I don't know. You just strike me as.
Fuck you, that is Jeremy. You know, you've got these
anxiety meds, but it's a supplement and you brought up
(18:19):
the edibles earlier. So like, is that what this is?
I don't know, maybe it is. Maybe you can't give your dog
that though, I guess, like I. Wouldn't recommend it, but maybe
she'd get along with Jeremy better.
Maybe they should both pop one and see.
What happens put? It in your chicken this advice
for any health or this podcast is any health advice at all
(18:40):
just. Put it in your chicken and see
what happens, yeah. Yeah.
Look, I'm only kidding. I'm.
Not I know. Didn't you know all this before
you even committed to homing her?
Kind of, but we thought she was just like this.
Don't make me go back and find aclip because I can you.
(19:00):
Sure you can. Like Jeremy held her most of the
time when we went to go see her,so I don't know.
I feel like that sounds like a different story.
What's a different story? Than the one we originally heard
when you first got her. Does she hates Jeremy?
Yes, and then you decided to gether anyway.
Well, we'd already brought her home at that point.
(19:22):
I thought you had an out. I thought you went to see her
first. I don't know, I.
Oh, we did go see her, Yeah, butshe kind of didn't like any of
us so. But I just thought that was
normal. I was like, oh.
We're just neutering. You thought that was normal and
she. Just had puppies and you and
your family show up at. Events.
Do people just take an instant dislike to you?
(19:45):
Maybe. The prosecution rests.
I know. I'm out, I rest my case.
The prosecution rests. This is due to underwhelming
(20:17):
demand. We are Dave, Rachel and Foreman.
This is the podcast that will make you stop in your tracks and
say why? Well, that was underwhelming.
What did you expect? Yeah, that's not what I asked
Google to play. Yeah, well.
(20:38):
But I had and no one's paying us, so fuck you.
You don't like it? You don't have to get testy, I'm
just making a joke. I don't get tested, not you
particularly. Don't get tested.
Well, we've actually tested Ontario's new free trade with
Nova Scotia. Oh, you tested it?
How do you test? That do we really have free I
(20:58):
mean, I always this is a complete surprise to me as a
yeah, a Canadian as an Ontario in an Ontario white.
I don't know what. Ontarian.
Ontarian. In Ontario.
A place to stand. A place.
To grow, Yeah. I didn't know that.
I I wasn't, that we weren't already trading stuff back and
(21:21):
forth with the other provinces. This is completely and utterly
stupid to me. Of course that's the case.
Why has this been now I am aware, you know, why has this
been going on? I don't know.
I am aware that there are issueswith the and we had talked about
this, I think for and we had, I thought we talked about it on
the air or something when we were on the radio together about
(21:43):
somebody in, say, New Brunswick driving into Quebec, buying some
beer and heading back over therebecause it's cheaper.
Yeah. And you could buy in a bigger,
you know, you can buy a bigger case or whatever it is.
Technically not allowed to do that.
You're not allowed to do that. And I thought, well, I've
brought beer. Back I've brought beer.
Back from Quebec, who's going tostop me, right?
There's no one there to stop. No one's going to stop but
(22:06):
another good like it's that kindof thing has been a barrier, a
thing where if food was inspected or processed, say and
say you got Nova Scotia blueberries, well they could now
safety inspect them, clear them,whatever they can come to
Ontario and then they can just go on sale instead of Ontario
also having to inspect them and do whatever their process.
(22:28):
OK, so we're getting rid of somered tape.
If you're certified for some type of job in Ontario then you
could go to New Brunswick and just start doing it instead of
also having to get. Their certification, OK, sure.
Yeah. Well, all the checks and
balances created a lot of jobs, right?
There's people paid to do all those inspections.
There's licenses that you have to pay, so there's revenue
(22:49):
coming in. Couldn't.
Can those people do other things?
Yes, I don't know. They can't.
Well, they're gonna. I don't know they're.
Gonna because now it's been like3 weeks at the time of this
release since Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia said
we're going to have free trade and eventually at some point all
the provinces are supposed to. That's was like one of the
campaign things, right? Sure, yeah, sure.
(23:12):
So high time that Ashley gets her hands on the best ever
favorite. Best of all Time has not found a
comparable one anywhere ever since Cotton Candy Vodka from
Nova Scotia. Is that a thing?
Cotton candy vodka. Cotton.
Candy vodka from Black Harbor Distillers in Hubbard's Nova
(23:35):
Scotia. We found it, We love it.
Can't get enough of it. Couldn't ship it to Ontario.
Before Why? Really.
Into provincial trade barriers, Yeah, until now, when the crate
of three of these bottles came through.
Oh wow, there they are. Which vodka do you have?
Well, now we're stocked up for awhile.
(23:56):
Yes, no kidding. Should have bought more perhaps?
Sure, do you do order it online?You just order on their website.
How much is delivery? It's the shipping's like 20 ish
bucks or something. OK, so the more you can't.
Get, I mean for something that'sa long drive away.
The more you get it's still 20 bucks shipping so I wonder if.
(24:19):
They'll sell it at the LCBO eventually.
Well, maybe maybe you can request it there and I just.
Thought Ashley. Request it, you know.
Even she went to the Canada Postplace because they can't bring
it to your door, you have to go pick it up because it's alcohol.
Oh, I didn't. I didn't know that either, No.
Yeah. They'll tell you it's a ride,
but then they'll tell you which candidate post to go to and then
because you have to show ID or something, sure.
(24:41):
OK. And then she sent a picture to
me today and said life is complete with three bottles.
Finally, it's been a year and a half or so since we haven't
lived in Nova Scotia, right? Right.
So what a wonderful time. I was so excited.
I thought this could make for a great radio bit.
Who else has taken advantage of this?
This stuff I'm going to call thedistillery in Nova Scotia.
(25:03):
Who tells me we've been doing Canada wide shipping since
January 2024. Ohh how is that allowed?
So you can buy it. So you could anyway.
And that's what she brought it this whole time, yes.
We only would have been out of Nova Scotia for like 2 months.
Wow, that's. It and she could have still been
(25:24):
buying it the whole yes. So then.
So then what? So what?
Has nothing to do with interprovincial trade?
No there. Are no benefits.
Apparently you can do it anyway.Oh.
My God, when we. First left, it was the end of
2023 and they weren't shipping to Ontario.
And then we never bothered to look since ohh.
And then heard that there's an announcement and we thought,
(25:45):
well that must be true, let's gotry.
And it worked, but it's been working for over a year.
OK, I need to. Ask now that we've settled.
All that. So there are obviously there
must be benefits to it or provincial free trade, but
cotton candy vodka isn't one of them because you could have got
it before. Because you could already get
that you could. Already there was some kind of
(26:07):
extra duty or something, or charge, I don't know, but now
there isn't, no. Perhaps, Yeah, maybe could be,
Yeah, yeah. OK.
I have to know. What kind of drinks do you make
with this? That's what I want to know.
What? What?
Are you making with the cotton candy vodka?
What do you make with a cotton candy vodka?
Well I don't know because all Ashley drinks with it is it's
VOD. Look at water.
(26:28):
That's it. So it's just flavored kind of.
On water. Oh, that's it.
Oh, she just drinks it straight with some ice.
Yeah, but she'll do that with almost any vodka.
So because she doesn't like anything fizzy, she can't do
fizzy. So it's just straight flat water
vodka. OK, A lot of people have asked
her that. Well, how do you drink it?
When you drink it, you. Make like a special martini or
(26:49):
some kind of mix. There must be a.
Reason they've made. Cotton candy vodka.
Yeah, if you tell, they tell you.
If you go to this distillery in person, David, yes, David and
Rachel, really. OK.
You know how at a brewery you can get a flight?
Yes, Black Harbour does flights of cocktails.
A little cocktail. That's fine.
(27:09):
So you could get the Fun House cocktail, which is the cotton
candy, vodka, club soda, and an actual chunk of cotton candy on
top. OK.
I wouldn't be interesting. I don't know why, but I I was
never again not really into sweet things.
(27:30):
Actually isn't either, and she still loves it.
You can get Double Trouble whichis cotton candy, vodka, blue
vodka, lemonade, and blue Raspberry flavor.
See, I would avoid cotton candy at all costs.
Even when I was a kid, I didn't really like it.
Yeah, I probably wouldn't go forthe cotton candy vodka.
I probably she doesn't really like I'm.
(27:52):
Intrigued by it though, because.Candy vodka isn't sugary I
imagine, and I think it just tastes that that way.
How about getting a fairy floss,which is cotton candy vodka with
cranberry juice and lemon sparkling water?
OK, that sounds good, actually it.
Probably would work. Fairy floss.
I always enjoyed going there forthe Cucumber Gin gimlet, which
(28:12):
is their gin that's simple syrup.
Royal of you, the Queen of Gimlets, didn't she?
Cucumber slices and Rosemary. OK, sorry, go say it again.
What did it say? Gin, syrup, lime, cucumber,
Rosemary. OK, wow.
You were drinking that, Foreman.It's time for tea.
What are you, a 72 year old woman?
(28:34):
No. It's the Queen of England.
She was 94. It's the best.
Feel like you should go to the Kentucky Derby with that.
Go to the queen plate. With the I did go to the Queen's
flight 1 year. Did you get a gin gimlet?
Did you have a fascinator? I did have a fascinator.
(28:55):
Yeah, I. Have a fascinator.
Yeah, I. Were a fascinator without a gin.
Let me. Show you what?
I have. Well, God, what do you have?
Well, the Derby has already occurred as as you hear this
podcast, but it hasn't happened yet as we record it.
Look at this bad boy. What?
Wow. That is the ugliest shirt I've
ever seen. How's that the whole?
(29:17):
Shirt is like a painting of the Derby.
Yes, is one large painting on a whole.
Shirt Where the fuck did you find that?
If I told you you no, you don't want to know.
No, you don't. Want to do please send us a
picture with you wearing that. I will do that.
Is that going to be for your Derby party?
Yes. OK, I can't wait.
That's actually I'm impressed. Looks like you bought that from
(29:39):
the guy who sells sports blankets at the western.
Fair. But I didn't.
I did not. I did.
Fleece and. Shitty.
I didn't do. That shitty fleece.
No, I didn't do that. No, I didn't do that.
OK, well, I'm glad you got your vodka.
That's great. That's great news.
Now, is she 36 yet? This is due to underwhelming
(30:10):
demand. It's a podcast it's Dave, Rachel
and Foreman. We have a website,
underwhelming.ca, and we're looking for a sponsorship.
Anyone that would like to sponsor this wine podcast, we
will gladly accept and we'll show you lots of love.
We need sponsors in order, you know, sort of to keep this
(30:31):
podcast operating because it does cost a little bit of money.
Do it. So go to our website, you'll
find everything you need to knowabout sponsoring.
You can click on buying Us a coffee.
You could buy Us a coffee and that helps keep the podcast
going too. If you don't want to sponsor,
buy a coffee for 5 bucks. We would happily take that too.
(30:51):
Underwhelmingly sponsoring us. Yes, you personally, you can
send us a message on there when you when you buy a coffee or on
our website, you can send a message or a voice note, which
we have a couple of today. So underwhelming.ca.
There's lots of stuff you can dothere.
Be part of the show. Leave us a voice note.
We do. We love to hear from you because
(31:11):
it's not radio anymore, so we can't hear from you immediately.
But if you've got something to tell us, good or bad, I guess
then you tell us. Yeah, we love to.
We don't really care. Dave rachelforeman@gmail.com
too. You can e-mail us.
OK I've got a couple messages. I got one from Melissa who says
I'm so behind in the episodes but I just watched the newest
one and OMG Foreman is back to country.
(31:33):
I listened to him his first weekand all I can say is I'm glad.
Glad he's back where he should be.
Card FM was just a stepping stone for him to get back into
the game. I love that you 2 called on his
first day and the gang was back on air for a short time.
It was something we have all wanted since you left.
Aw, that's nice. Thank you, Melissa.
That's nice. All right.
Yeah, I have actually haven't heard this segment.
(31:55):
I didn't hear it. So if you have a clip of that
over. Here if you need us to call in
on a regular basis form and we'dbe happy to do that although we.
Will I don't know if they want us.
We will need to be paid. Right, well, I'm not the one to
talk to you about. That we don't need.
We don't do it for free anymore,so.
Except we do this for free and it's a lot.
More. Oh yeah.
Yeah, exactly. OK, another one from Aaron who
(32:18):
says because last time we talkedabout how Foreman needs to get a
picture of Lefty the parking lotguy, the.
Parking is doing that. I need to know what Lefty looks
like, and Aaron says Foreman definitely don't get a picture
of Lefty. There we go.
Perfection. Why?
I had a gas station employee sign a birthday card for a
buddy. Guy worked there for years and
(32:39):
we would always talk to him whenwe'd go get ice.
Once he signed the birthday cardhe was never to be seen at the
gas station again and we have noidea where he went.
But he did quit the gas station after that.
I'm too involved with my my clients.
I've got to get out of here. They've asked me to sign a
birthday card. I.
Could disappear off the face of the earth.
(32:59):
Wow, you gotta know you probablyworked somewhere else.
I don't. Know I don't want to run Lefty
out of town. No, they don't run them out of
the parking lot either. It gives you a.
Good deal, get a picture. I feel like maybe I'm
jeopardizing my well, I know even just saying the name I
think is jeopardizing my parkingdeal, everyone.
Shut up. Is it?
Don't. Say that name anymore.
Confidential. What?
Lefty. Oh, sorry, righty.
We'll call him Righty. Righty.
(33:21):
Sure. It's not the same, No, not.
The same. All right.
What do you have, Foreman? Well, you know them, you love
them from the land where they make cotton candy vodka.
Easy to ship to Ontario now and a.
Ray of a ray of sweet fluffy cloud himself that's.
(33:47):
Right, Scotty? Scotty.
Hello, it's Scotty again. I was just listening to the last
episode there and you were talking about Foreman's mom, or
I guess she sent in an e-mail. Great story, by the way.
I don't think I've ever thought about keeping any of my bodily
(34:11):
fluids for future scientists to use, but I am now.
And when you talked about the pictures and stuff and, and and
what is and, and how Foreman's mom described him, it reminded
me of the first time I met him. It was at a, it was a hot tub
giveaway. It was like a prize thing
(34:32):
anyway. And they were drawing names.
I'm pretty sure we were scolded for talking too loud during the
draw, actually. But yeah, when I got back to the
car, my wife said, So what were they like?
And I said, oh, very, very nice.I said and Foreman very muscular
cheeks clearly, clearly the breast fed.
Clearly breast. Fed.
(35:00):
Clearly breastfed, yeah. Obviously 4.
Years later, yeah. This is why Scotty did not win
the hot tub, yeah. Yes, but you will be forever
known for. Your friend.
Your muscular cheeks. Yes, Foreman.
I always knew you had strong cheeks.
It just took your mom confirmingthat for me and.
(35:22):
And I believe it. Yeah, all.
Right. Well, I'm going to go now the.
Proof is in the cheeks. They're not quite as red as they
used to be, though.
Are you guys on the Teamu train?Yeah, yeah.
I thought you might be. I didn't know that, but I knew
that. Yeah, my wife, I think, has
really started to really like Teamu.
Yeah, I've got so much stuff from there for Superjeep.
It's awesome. But you're not getting the same
things that my wife's that I think that's the difference.
(00:22):
What's she getting? I'll bet you you're not getting
what we're getting off of team. Whenever I'm ready, it's always
you, Rachel. OK, I'm ready are.
You ready? Raring to go.
Man, I have to wait. Please don't.
I'll start. This is this is due to due to
(00:48):
underwhelming demand the the podcast with Dave, Rachel and
Foreman. The podcast that would make the
perfect gift for Mother's Day, especially if you and your mom
aren't getting along. Just send us to her.
Want to qualify that on this fine podcast today, The benefits
(01:09):
of interprovincial free trade with Foreman.
I have no idea what the hell that means.
I just. I do.
I don't know what it means. Riveting.
I don't, yeah. I think what it is.
Though. I think it's that's.
Foreman gets cheaper beer or something like that, not.
Beer. It just sounds boring.
No, it's going to be something we all want to jump on board
with, I'll tell you that. All right, there's a better tea.
(01:31):
Yep. Rachel's dog is apparently even
more anxious than we. Thought yeah, yeah.
And we're going to start with when you really deteriorate in
life, because I find this fun. Oh, good fun right off the top.
Right off the bat. That's in point here we are
doing this podcast. Yes.
(01:52):
The end. The end we've.
Deteriorated. That's where we did.
This is we've we started a while.
Ago This is the end, this is theend, the end.
This is a deterioration I. Had a guy on I was chatting with
a guy on on country 104 who is has some he part of his business
is a is a gym and part of his cell line is we help people die
(02:14):
as slowly as possible. I like.
That that's a good thing? That's true.
Yeah, I said, yeah, you should have that on a flyer.
That's perfect. Yeah.
Well, this will I I this. Is Jim.
This is sort of part of that. Whenever we would do talk about
things, where you go, you know what you spend way too much
money on or you know what you spend.
Don't want to know? No one wants to know that so.
(02:36):
How much do you spend on coffee a year?
Don't tell me, don't tell me. I don't want to know.
Yeah, right. This is a study that's basically
like that. It tells you the exact age when
all of the bad things you do catch up with you and start to,
you know, harm you. All this sitting on my ass, all
(02:57):
the eating peanut butter and chocolate Easter eggs.
That's it. OK, all of this will get you at
the age beginning at this age, and then it just gets worse.
Oh good. So what are the what is?
Well, what are the like the worst things?
What are the the offending behaviors then?
(03:18):
What are suggesting? Yeah, what happens?
Well, they're suggesting things like smoking, drinking, not
exercising. Those are the, those are the
basic bad things that we do. You don't have to.
If you don't smoke, you're way ahead of the game to begin with.
If you don't drink, I'm not inviting you over, but good for
you. And if you don't exercise that.
(03:40):
Doesn't drink anymore. And I'm only kidding.
Yeah, that's a joke. That's a joke.
OK, Those are the those are the,you know, top three.
But Rachel's right. If you if you're eating, you
know poorly and. Peanut chocolate eggs.
Well, you're suggesting though that you can do those things a
consequence free Willy nilly andtell an age.
(04:01):
That's what I that's. What?
There's a tipping point, No, Butwhat happens?
Like what happens after that? I get that these things are bad
for you, but then what happens when you start to deteriorate?
Like take a guess. You were going to guess how old.
OK, well, I'm going to guess 40 because 40 is when my friends
and I would start talking about ailments, generally the ones
(04:22):
that we had in comparing, Yeah. Yeah, you, you.
That's my guess. OK, Well, that's fair.
I mean, I guess that's. Fair, I'm guessing Daves
thinking you ain't seen nothing now when you.
Get to a certain age. All you have to do is sit with
older people and listen to us talk about elements.
It's just. I'm telling you it begins at 40
if you don't. Remember.
But it's gotta be like 5050. Five.
(04:45):
No, it's younger. It's actually younger than 55
and 50 and 40. Apparently it's 36.
Ohh, you guys have already. You've already gone by.
Yes. No, like Forman.
Thinks it's 50 because he hasn'tturned 40 just yet.
He's in his 40. Years started talking about all
of his ailments because he's not40 yet.
(05:06):
That's why he thinks it's 50. If you're underage 40, I'm
telling you that's the tipping point you'll begin talking
about. No, it's 36, I just told.
You 36, right? So they tracked hundreds of
people, kids who were born in 59until they hit the age of 61,
and found that those who regularly smoked, boozed,
(05:27):
lounged around in their younger years ended up sicker and more
depressed as they aged. And on average, those people's
health started to decline at theage of 36.
They this was people born in 1959.
They they were. Tracking.
Yeah, 1950. 9 like throughout their life's life life.
(05:50):
A lot of things have changed. A lot of things have changed,
but a lot more people smoked back then.
People don't, well, people don'tsmoke cigarettes as much, but if
you're vaping or you're smoking anything, it's still impacting
your lungs, right? And so that I would say if
you're going to be doing, if you're going to have weed or do
the gummies, do edibles, don't smoke it.
(06:10):
Like that's my recommendation toyou.
There we go. Health advice for.
Me it's legal that's. Going to be if.
You're going to do it. Don't smoke it.
At the very least, save your lungs.
Take it from someone unlike Rachel, who never smoked
probably a cigarette in her life, am I right?
(06:30):
No, but I have but not. Many.
But not many. No, I was never a smoker.
I was a smoker. Don't ever start smoking.
Ever, ever, ever. That's my and that's good
advice, by the way, right? Ever, ever ever start smoking.
That means dev's been going way downhill since 36.
Yeah, I was smoking at 36, but. What age were you when you quit
(06:54):
smoking? Quite, quite a ways.
After that I'm trying to remember, it's been a long time.
Before you. Before that, no.
Before that, before that, it's been a long time.
My the amazing thing with quitting smoking, for those who
do smoke and I, I still can't believe anybody smokes, but they
do. If you quit vaping's a
(07:15):
completely different story. But what I found is I used to
suffer terribly from colds, and when I quit smoking, it just all
stopped. You know, I still got colds.
They didn't go away. I just didn't suffer as much.
This is a respiratory thing. Right, so.
Anyway, the findings here, what the research basically says,
(07:36):
it's very important to tackle your risky health behaviors as
early as you can to prevent damage from building up over the
years. Because they found that people
act, people suffered, they got depressed, they were unhappy,
sure. And you know, could lead to an
early death. Who knows, right?
Well, yeah, you have health issues early on.
(07:56):
That sucks. The other way to look at
informing is the way that you looked at it, which is enjoy the
partying and all the debauchery you can, and then on your thirty
36th birthday, yeah, just quit. Just knock it all off.
That's it, I'm done. Well, if you that's it, I'm
done. I'm gonna go.
Her when you're 36, how easy is that to quit?
Not it's not. Easy to quit, but that's what I
(08:16):
would set my heart on like if you don't smoke now, don't
start. But if you want to have a few
drinks and you know sit around alot and eat badly, right?
Do it until you're 36 and then maybe start to clean up your.
Act Yeah. Start by.
One regret of my life and I tellmy youngest daughter this all
the time. I wish I had looked after myself
(08:37):
a little bit better when I was your age, when I was young.
After yourself, now you're pretty healthy.
As healthy as I can be, I try. But think how much healthier he
would have been. And he started at 36, right?
That's I could. Be one of those super seniors.
Yeah. Dad, I'm just an average super.
Seniors. My dad's a super senior.
(08:59):
He's pretty good. Yeah.
Yeah, he's pretty healthy. He's almost 80.
Yeah, he's pretty healthy. Yeah, he's.
Doing all right, then he's doingOK.
You guys, you're 36, you're past36.
Well, I've. Already got ailments so I don't.
I'm all down here. Anymore Foreman?
No. I mean, I don't have any
prescriptions yet, if that's what.
You mean I don't either? I do actually I.
(09:23):
Do I have I have to take an allergy pill?
But that's allergies. I don't know that.
Doesn't count, no. That doesn't count.
Yeah. Yeah.
So you're looking after. You're not debauching anymore,
Rachel. No.
Oh, I don't really debauch, you know I don't.
Did you ever debauch? Really.
Yeah, when in my 20s, and it kind of eased off in my 30, once
I had kids, I didn't. Really.
Yeah, that's where I'm thinking part of this study might be
(09:46):
leading to is that by the time you're 36, you don't really want
to debauch all that much anyway.Is debauch a word?
Because that is now. It is now, yeah.
It is well. I don't know.
And I we don't drink very much at all.
Like I I might have one drink a week.
Maybe that's a good thing. But I eat chocolate Easter eggs,
chocolate peanut butter Easter eggs, you know, like I was just
(10:07):
doing that. And all year long.
No, but I'll find other chocolate peanut butter things,
so that's bad. Yeah, that's, I wouldn't call
that debauchery. Though no it's not.
I'm not a partying. Generally no.
I think you're right though, forhim.
And I think there becomes a certain point in your life where
you just go, you know, I'd really like to, but.
(10:28):
I'll watch the White Lotus fall asleep for most of it and ask my
husband what happened. Who's that?
Where are they? What's going on?
OK, there you go. Will you ask your husband
that's. OK, that's all you.
Have because that's what happened at your house.
(10:50):
This is due to Underwhelming Demand, the podcast that reminds
you this Mother's Day to be thankful that it wasn't your mom
who kept your breast milk in their freezer for 40 years.
Thought I threw. I thought I would throw that in.
Yeah. Just happy Mother's Day.
Yep. If anyones looking for a science
(11:12):
project, I heard there's some old breast milk waiting.
Waiting for a lab? Yeah.
Yeah, someone called Country 104today and was like, oh, by the
way, I enjoy your podcast. I can't, I'm gonna go listen to
the new one later. And I was like, oh, you're
you're in for a treat because mymom sent an e-mail.
Yeah, maybe she'll leave us a voicemail one day.
(11:35):
That would be the ultimate. I think it's easy.
To do at underwhelming.ca. That's right.
There you go, Mom. Well, you know, I was talking
about my. I don't know, I could segue a
couple of ways, actually with this.
Oh, now my brain's just going. Already off to a bad start, OK.
Yeah, well, the minute. You bring up the word Segway,
then it doesn't work. Not really one anymore.
(11:55):
Gone. No.
OK. Fine, I was talking about my
anxiety medication and it may run in the family because my dog
has some now. Or perhaps Speaking of Mother's
Day, I'm a dog mom and my baby has to have anxiety medication.
(12:16):
But hang on a second. Mom, Mom.
You're I'm a mom. You're a mom.
Mom for baby who? Also has a.
Dog that you didn't, That dog came from another family.
Yeah, yeah, I. Hope.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, I didn't birth the
dog, no. No.
Well, we knew that, but it sure sounded that way.
(12:38):
Well, if you have a dog, you're a dog.
But you But you adopted the dog.We adopted this dog.
Yeah. So Roxy is 4 now.
She's a little Bichon. And.
I thought you were going to say something else, but yeah, well.
She's also that. She's also that, yeah.
So if you've been keeping up with this podcast, maybe you've
(12:58):
heard me talk about this before.Roxy hates my husband.
And periodically, if I post a photo or something, people will
message me, say, oh, how's it going with Roxy and your
husband, Jeremy? She still hates them.
Nothing has changed. She still growls when he enters
the room unexpectedly to her. She will scatter away from him.
(13:18):
She's cons if he's walking around doing stuff he she is
constantly scurrying to either get away from him and or be
closer to me because I'm going to save her from him obviously.
What about him? How does has he given up trying
to please her then? Yeah.
Well, no, because he he will give her a full plate of
chicken. If we are having chicken or
(13:40):
ground Turkey, whatever. Like if we're having any kind of
meat like that, that's that is plain that he can put on a plate
for her. He will give her a full plate of
chicken, for instance. She will not go near it until he
puts it down beside my dining room chair and then walks away
and leaves the room. Then she will go over and eat
(14:00):
it. She will not go near it until
he's gone at probably if I'm also close to it.
I have many things to say about this, including why are you
feeding your dog your chicken? Well, if we have extra chicken,
she'll get some, yeah. But I, if I had given my dog, if
I had given my dog food scraps and he would, he would beg for
(14:22):
food scraps all the time. But then it just never worked
out. We don't give him food scraps
because he'll throw it up or youjust can throw it up.
You got to, you know, you got togive him the the proper food.
Yeah, but your dog was diabetic.Yeah, but that was before the
dog. The diabetes has nothing to do
with it. Well, he probably had a
sensitive tummy. And it was a bichon.
(14:42):
OK, well, she doesn't throw it. Up and didn't like me.
Well, your dog. Like you no more.
Than. Are you reading my mail?
I know, but your dog liked you alot more than my dog likes
Jeremy. She hates him.
She won't go near him. She's terrified of him.
If he gets up and she's sitting behind me on the couch, like up
on the back of the couch and andand she comes over.
(15:05):
Not allow that either, by the way.
She's up there because that's where she can see Jeremy, keep
her eye on him. She's.
Always staring at the. Pole through.
Him 20. 4/7. That's the dog, that's.
Her trying to be taller than him.
Yeah, that's the dog trying to usurp Jeremy.
That's the dog trying this. Is not a dog training session.
I'm just telling you I'm. Telling you does the dog like to
(15:28):
like you? Let the dog on your bed?
Does the dog want to sleep on your pillow?
On your head. You're going to love this.
I put her on Jeremy's pillow. Oh my.
So you're not supposed to teeth.Because I don't want her on my
pillow, of course. Not yeah.
But if I'm if she sleeps with me, it's because I'm in bed
alone. It's not she won't come in the
(15:50):
bed if he's there. If I, if we're both in the bed
together and she for some reasonhas to come in the room, she
will go under the bed and not come out until he's gone.
So if she's sitting up on the couch behind me and I'm, and he
comes over to sit with me and show me something or whatever,
she growls. She jumps up to run away.
She wants to get away from him as fast as possible and, and
(16:11):
she'll hurt herself, you know, jumping and leaping off the
couch just to get away from him as fast as she possibly can.
Wow. So we have gone to training,
which didn't really do much. She still hates him.
And the trainer even said we can't make her like him.
We can make her tolerate him a little better, but we can't make
(16:31):
her like him and she still hatesus.
It didn't, I mean, whatever. So we just kind of stopped.
Although he tries to give her treats, he tries to give her
chicken, he tries to give her, you know, high value treats like
that. And she still won't go near it
until he's well enough away thatshe can eat without being
attacked by him and 'cause she won't put her head down anyway.
(16:52):
So I went to the vet this week and they gave me anxiety
medication for Roxy. So we're now going to try.
I haven't started it yet 'cause it was only the other day.
We are going to try and, and it's a supplement.
I don't really know if this is areal thing.
I have no idea. But she's gonna, we're gonna try
(17:13):
it. I don't know if it'll help.
She won't make her like him, butit might make her chill out a
little bit 'cause she's just not.
She's a tough nut. Like you can't crack this dog.
She doesn't like you, she doesn't like you.
She loves Julia. The hierarchy in the house is
me, then Julia, then Kendall, 'cause she's a little more
unpredictable, and then everybody else in the world, and
(17:36):
then Jeremy. She would like you guys more
than Jeremy for sure. I don't think so.
Oh, yeah, yeah. About that.
She would, yeah. She'll, she'll go up and sniff
other. She's better with women.
But if, you know, if we're walking or whatever, she'll
sniff other men, like at the busstop or she'll go up to them and
let them kind of pet her a little bit and they can buy her
(17:57):
love and that. But Jeremy cannot.
She was totally fine. You did.
Yeah, you did. Oh wow.
Anyway, I don't. Know what you brought.
Up earlier you would have reallysent the dog into a frenzy.
Me. Why?
I don't know. You just strike me as.
Fuck you, that is Jeremy. You know, you've got these
anxiety meds, but it's a supplement and you brought up
(18:19):
the edibles earlier. So like, is that what this is?
I don't know, maybe it is. Maybe you can't give your dog
that though, I guess, like I. Wouldn't recommend it, but maybe
she'd get along with Jeremy better.
Maybe they should both pop one and see.
What happens put? It in your chicken this advice
for any health or this podcast is any health advice at all
(18:40):
just. Put it in your chicken and see
what happens, yeah. Yeah.
Look, I'm only kidding. I'm.
Not I know. Didn't you know all this before
you even committed to homing her?
Kind of, but we thought she was just like this.
Don't make me go back and find aclip because I can you.
(19:00):
Sure you can. Like Jeremy held her most of the
time when we went to go see her,so I don't know.
I feel like that sounds like a different story.
What's a different story? Than the one we originally heard
when you first got her. Does she hates Jeremy?
Yes, and then you decided to gether anyway.
Well, we'd already brought her home at that point.
(19:22):
I thought you had an out. I thought you went to see her
first. I don't know, I.
Oh, we did go see her, Yeah, butshe kind of didn't like any of
us so. But I just thought that was
normal. I was like, oh.
We're just neutering. You thought that was normal and
she. Just had puppies and you and
your family show up at. Events.
Do people just take an instant dislike to you?
(19:45):
Maybe. The prosecution rests.
I know. I'm out, I rest my case.
The prosecution rests. This is due to underwhelming
(20:17):
demand. We are Dave, Rachel and Foreman.
This is the podcast that will make you stop in your tracks and
say why? Well, that was underwhelming.
What did you expect? Yeah, that's not what I asked
Google to play. Yeah, well.
(20:38):
But I had and no one's paying us, so fuck you.
You don't like it? You don't have to get testy, I'm
just making a joke. I don't get tested, not you
particularly. Don't get tested.
Well, we've actually tested Ontario's new free trade with
Nova Scotia. Oh, you tested it?
How do you test? That do we really have free I
(20:58):
mean, I always this is a complete surprise to me as a
yeah, a Canadian as an Ontario in an Ontario white.
I don't know what. Ontarian.
Ontarian. In Ontario.
A place to stand. A place.
To grow, Yeah. I didn't know that.
I I wasn't, that we weren't already trading stuff back and
(21:21):
forth with the other provinces. This is completely and utterly
stupid to me. Of course that's the case.
Why has this been now I am aware, you know, why has this
been going on? I don't know.
I am aware that there are issueswith the and we had talked about
this, I think for and we had, I thought we talked about it on
the air or something when we were on the radio together about
(21:43):
somebody in, say, New Brunswick driving into Quebec, buying some
beer and heading back over therebecause it's cheaper.
Yeah. And you could buy in a bigger,
you know, you can buy a bigger case or whatever it is.
Technically not allowed to do that.
You're not allowed to do that. And I thought, well, I've
brought beer. Back I've brought beer.
Back from Quebec, who's going tostop me, right?
There's no one there to stop. No one's going to stop but
(22:06):
another good like it's that kindof thing has been a barrier, a
thing where if food was inspected or processed, say and
say you got Nova Scotia blueberries, well they could now
safety inspect them, clear them,whatever they can come to
Ontario and then they can just go on sale instead of Ontario
also having to inspect them and do whatever their process.
(22:28):
OK, so we're getting rid of somered tape.
If you're certified for some type of job in Ontario then you
could go to New Brunswick and just start doing it instead of
also having to get. Their certification, OK, sure.
Yeah. Well, all the checks and
balances created a lot of jobs, right?
There's people paid to do all those inspections.
There's licenses that you have to pay, so there's revenue
(22:49):
coming in. Couldn't.
Can those people do other things?
Yes, I don't know. They can't.
Well, they're gonna. I don't know they're.
Gonna because now it's been like3 weeks at the time of this
release since Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia said
we're going to have free trade and eventually at some point all
the provinces are supposed to. That's was like one of the
campaign things, right? Sure, yeah, sure.
(23:12):
So high time that Ashley gets her hands on the best ever
favorite. Best of all Time has not found a
comparable one anywhere ever since Cotton Candy Vodka from
Nova Scotia. Is that a thing?
Cotton candy vodka. Cotton.
Candy vodka from Black Harbor Distillers in Hubbard's Nova
(23:35):
Scotia. We found it, We love it.
Can't get enough of it. Couldn't ship it to Ontario.
Before Why? Really.
Into provincial trade barriers, Yeah, until now, when the crate
of three of these bottles came through.
Oh wow, there they are. Which vodka do you have?
Well, now we're stocked up for awhile.
(23:56):
Yes, no kidding. Should have bought more perhaps?
Sure, do you do order it online?You just order on their website.
How much is delivery? It's the shipping's like 20 ish
bucks or something. OK, so the more you can't.
Get, I mean for something that'sa long drive away.
The more you get it's still 20 bucks shipping so I wonder if.
(24:19):
They'll sell it at the LCBO eventually.
Well, maybe maybe you can request it there and I just.
Thought Ashley. Request it, you know.
Even she went to the Canada Postplace because they can't bring
it to your door, you have to go pick it up because it's alcohol.
Oh, I didn't. I didn't know that either, No.
Yeah. They'll tell you it's a ride,
but then they'll tell you which candidate post to go to and then
because you have to show ID or something, sure.
(24:41):
OK. And then she sent a picture to
me today and said life is complete with three bottles.
Finally, it's been a year and a half or so since we haven't
lived in Nova Scotia, right? Right.
So what a wonderful time. I was so excited.
I thought this could make for a great radio bit.
Who else has taken advantage of this?
This stuff I'm going to call thedistillery in Nova Scotia.
(25:03):
Who tells me we've been doing Canada wide shipping since
January 2024. Ohh how is that allowed?
So you can buy it. So you could anyway.
And that's what she brought it this whole time, yes.
We only would have been out of Nova Scotia for like 2 months.
Wow, that's. It and she could have still been
(25:24):
buying it the whole yes. So then.
So then what? So what?
Has nothing to do with interprovincial trade?
No there. Are no benefits.
Apparently you can do it anyway.Oh.
My God, when we. First left, it was the end of
2023 and they weren't shipping to Ontario.
And then we never bothered to look since ohh.
And then heard that there's an announcement and we thought,
(25:45):
well that must be true, let's gotry.
And it worked, but it's been working for over a year.
OK, I need to. Ask now that we've settled.
All that. So there are obviously there
must be benefits to it or provincial free trade, but
cotton candy vodka isn't one of them because you could have got
it before. Because you could already get
that you could. Already there was some kind of
(26:07):
extra duty or something, or charge, I don't know, but now
there isn't, no. Perhaps, Yeah, maybe could be,
Yeah, yeah. OK.
I have to know. What kind of drinks do you make
with this? That's what I want to know.
What? What?
Are you making with the cotton candy vodka?
What do you make with a cotton candy vodka?
Well I don't know because all Ashley drinks with it is it's
VOD. Look at water.
(26:28):
That's it. So it's just flavored kind of.
On water. Oh, that's it.
Oh, she just drinks it straight with some ice.
Yeah, but she'll do that with almost any vodka.
So because she doesn't like anything fizzy, she can't do
fizzy. So it's just straight flat water
vodka. OK, A lot of people have asked
her that. Well, how do you drink it?
When you drink it, you. Make like a special martini or
(26:49):
some kind of mix. There must be a.
Reason they've made. Cotton candy vodka.
Yeah, if you tell, they tell you.
If you go to this distillery in person, David, yes, David and
Rachel, really. OK.
You know how at a brewery you can get a flight?
Yes, Black Harbour does flights of cocktails.
A little cocktail. That's fine.
(27:09):
So you could get the Fun House cocktail, which is the cotton
candy, vodka, club soda, and an actual chunk of cotton candy on
top. OK.
I wouldn't be interesting. I don't know why, but I I was
never again not really into sweet things.
(27:30):
Actually isn't either, and she still loves it.
You can get Double Trouble whichis cotton candy, vodka, blue
vodka, lemonade, and blue Raspberry flavor.
See, I would avoid cotton candy at all costs.
Even when I was a kid, I didn't really like it.
Yeah, I probably wouldn't go forthe cotton candy vodka.
I probably she doesn't really like I'm.
(27:52):
Intrigued by it though, because.Candy vodka isn't sugary I
imagine, and I think it just tastes that that way.
How about getting a fairy floss,which is cotton candy vodka with
cranberry juice and lemon sparkling water?
OK, that sounds good, actually it.
Probably would work. Fairy floss.
I always enjoyed going there forthe Cucumber Gin gimlet, which
(28:12):
is their gin that's simple syrup.
Royal of you, the Queen of Gimlets, didn't she?
Cucumber slices and Rosemary. OK, sorry, go say it again.
What did it say? Gin, syrup, lime, cucumber,
Rosemary. OK, wow.
You were drinking that, Foreman.It's time for tea.
What are you, a 72 year old woman?
(28:34):
No. It's the Queen of England.
She was 94. It's the best.
Feel like you should go to the Kentucky Derby with that.
Go to the queen plate. With the I did go to the Queen's
flight 1 year. Did you get a gin gimlet?
Did you have a fascinator? I did have a fascinator.
(28:55):
Yeah, I. Have a fascinator.
Yeah, I. Were a fascinator without a gin.
Let me. Show you what?
I have. Well, God, what do you have?
Well, the Derby has already occurred as as you hear this
podcast, but it hasn't happened yet as we record it.
Look at this bad boy. What?
Wow. That is the ugliest shirt I've
ever seen. How's that the whole?
(29:17):
Shirt is like a painting of the Derby.
Yes, is one large painting on a whole.
Shirt Where the fuck did you find that?
If I told you you no, you don't want to know.
No, you don't. Want to do please send us a
picture with you wearing that. I will do that.
Is that going to be for your Derby party?
Yes. OK, I can't wait.
That's actually I'm impressed. Looks like you bought that from
(29:39):
the guy who sells sports blankets at the western.
Fair. But I didn't.
I did not. I did.
Fleece and. Shitty.
I didn't do. That shitty fleece.
No, I didn't do that. No, I didn't do that.
OK, well, I'm glad you got your vodka.
That's great. That's great news.
Now, is she 36 yet? This is due to underwhelming
(30:10):
demand. It's a podcast it's Dave, Rachel
and Foreman. We have a website,
underwhelming.ca, and we're looking for a sponsorship.
Anyone that would like to sponsor this wine podcast, we
will gladly accept and we'll show you lots of love.

(30:51):
Underwhelmingly sponsoring us. Yes, you personally, you can
send us a message on there when you when you buy a coffee or on
our website, you can send a message or a voice note, which
we have a couple of today. So underwhelming.ca.
There's lots of stuff you can dothere.
Be part of the show. Leave us a voice note.
We do. We love to hear from you because
(31:11):
it's not radio anymore, so we can't hear from you immediately.
But if you've got something to tell us, good or bad, I guess
then you tell us. Yeah, we love to.
We don't really care. Dave rachelforeman@gmail.com
too. You can e-mail us.
OK I've got a couple messages. I got one from Melissa who says
I'm so behind in the episodes but I just watched the newest
one and OMG Foreman is back to country.
(31:33):
I listened to him his first weekand all I can say is I'm glad.
Glad he's back where he should be.
Card FM was just a stepping stone for him to get back into
the game. I love that you 2 called on his
first day and the gang was back on air for a short time.
It was something we have all wanted since you left.
Aw, that's nice. Thank you, Melissa.
That's nice. All right.
Yeah, I have actually haven't heard this segment.
(31:55):
I didn't hear it. So if you have a clip of that
over. Here if you need us to call in
on a regular basis form and we'dbe happy to do that although we.
Will I don't know if they want us.
We will need to be paid. Right, well, I'm not the one to
talk to you about. That we don't need.
We don't do it for free anymore,so.
Except we do this for free and it's a lot.
More. Oh yeah.
Yeah, exactly. OK, another one from Aaron who
(32:18):
says because last time we talkedabout how Foreman needs to get a
picture of Lefty the parking lotguy, the.
Parking is doing that. I need to know what Lefty looks
like, and Aaron says Foreman definitely don't get a picture
of Lefty. There we go.
Perfection. Why?
I had a gas station employee sign a birthday card for a
buddy. Guy worked there for years and
(32:39):
we would always talk to him whenwe'd go get ice.
Once he signed the birthday cardhe was never to be seen at the
gas station again and we have noidea where he went.
But he did quit the gas station after that.
I'm too involved with my my clients.
I've got to get out of here. They've asked me to sign a
birthday card. I.
Could disappear off the face of the earth.
(32:59):
Wow, you gotta know you probablyworked somewhere else.
I don't. Know I don't want to run Lefty
out of town. No, they don't run them out of
the parking lot either. It gives you a.
Good deal, get a picture. I feel like maybe I'm
jeopardizing my well, I know even just saying the name I
think is jeopardizing my parkingdeal, everyone.
Shut up. Is it?
Don't. Say that name anymore.
Confidential. What?
Lefty. Oh, sorry, righty.
We'll call him Righty. Righty.
(33:21):
Sure. It's not the same, No, not.
The same. All right.
What do you have, Foreman? Well, you know them, you love
them from the land where they make cotton candy vodka.
Easy to ship to Ontario now and a.
Ray of a ray of sweet fluffy cloud himself that's.
(33:47):
Right, Scotty? Scotty.
Hello, it's Scotty again. I was just listening to the last
episode there and you were talking about Foreman's mom, or
I guess she sent in an e-mail. Great story, by the way.
I don't think I've ever thought about keeping any of my bodily
(34:11):
fluids for future scientists to use, but I am now.
And when you talked about the pictures and stuff and, and and
what is and, and how Foreman's mom described him, it reminded
me of the first time I met him. It was at a, it was a hot tub
giveaway. It was like a prize thing
(34:32):
anyway. And they were drawing names.
I'm pretty sure we were scolded for talking too loud during the
draw, actually. But yeah, when I got back to the
car, my wife said, So what were they like?
And I said, oh, very, very nice.I said and Foreman very muscular
cheeks clearly, clearly the breast fed.
Clearly breast. Fed.
(35:00):
Clearly breastfed, yeah. Obviously 4.
Years later, yeah. This is why Scotty did not win
the hot tub, yeah. Yes, but you will be forever
known for. Your friend.
Your muscular cheeks. Yes, Foreman.
I always knew you had strong cheeks.
It just took your mom confirmingthat for me and.
(35:22):
And I believe it. Yeah, all.
Right. Well, I'm going to go now the.
Proof is in the cheeks. They're not quite as red as they
used to be, though.
