(00:00):
Rach, how's your husband over the Bills laws?
I Bills fans are such Oh my God.You should have been that a
whole day. He was telling us a week ahead
of time on Sunday, I am going tobe watching the Bills game.
You guys are not doing it or whatever.
So we're like, OK, whatever. So we're all home Sunday and and
(00:20):
the kids are like singing. Me and Julia are sitting beside
Jeremy on the couch, blaring reels and watching them
together. You're so mean.
But I didn't realize we were doing that and the Bills were
losing. And he's like, you know what,
All I wanted to do today was watch the Bills game and you 3.
(00:45):
And with that, let's get started.
That's so happy. I have a beer.
Who else has 1 today? I don't necessarily.
Rodenberg, OH, you find Moosehead.
Well, it's from the Beer Store. Oh, OK.
You know, tax free. Tax free still all right?
Good enough to stock up soon because it's about to be over,
Yeah. Well, you wanted to buy your
boats. You knew it was kind of Oh no,
(01:05):
that was. I know well I can use my $200.00
on. That in mind this is due to
underwhelming demand the podcastthat's like having an early
provincial election yeah a wasteof time and money even though
we're free I still think we're awaste of money so technically it
(01:25):
all it all kind of I. Don't think it's a waste of
money. It's.
Kind of a waste of money. Anyway, we're Dave, Rachel and
Foreman and coming up. Coming up, Rachel has some fun
facts. I do can't wait.
Foreman and Dave will do something that we could not do
on the radio. That's right.
(01:45):
Something we could never, never have done this on the radio.
We're gonna do that, but first. It's even borderline you to do
on this podcast. It really is OK.
And you may want to eat first, Iknow.
The general topic, I don't know what you're gonna bring up.
That's right. Just, you know, if you thought
you were done with best of 2024 lists, not.
Not yet, not. Yet.
(02:06):
Oh my God. OK.
Alright, but first, I find this fascinating and I don't know
why, but according to a survey, nearly half of all people carry
backup underwear with them. Underpants.
Underpants. That's right, nearly half of all
people carry backup underpants. The preferred terminology of
(02:28):
said podcast? That's right.
In case they have an accident orbecause they plan to change
clothes, like if they've gone tothe gym or something.
Nearly half. I've never carried a backup pair
of underwear with me anywhere, and I don't know that I've ever
(02:48):
needed it. Well if I've gone to the gym I
have, but that's it. Like I don't keep a spare pair.
Why do you need a backup when you go to the gym?
Well, if I'm saying go to the gym.
And then? Well, I'm wearing them, but
they're sweaty, right? So you shower and then you might
if I'm going somewhere else. If I'm just going home, then
I'll just go home and shower. Okay, But if I have to shower at
the gym? You don't generally have you
(03:11):
ever carried at any point in your life an extra pair of
underwear? No, because the whole I have a
whole other change of clothes and there's underwear with them.
I feel like there's a different topic because yeah, if you're
going to change, then you're going to, you have to completely
change. Exactly.
But it doesn't mean that I have two pairs in that change of
clothes to have an extra. No, I've never just had
(03:35):
underpants. No, no, just in case.
Well, if I'm packing like to go away like we're going away soon,
I always pack. I pack extra under.
I don't know why I pack so much underwear when I go on vacation.
Rachel. What?
Underpants. Underpants.
Sorry I pack so many underpants when I am going on vacation.
Sounds so much better it does. It's better than panties, which
(03:59):
I fucking hate. I hate it when people call them.
I think it's gross. Panties is up there with Moist.
Oh my God, you, David. Just anyway, so my underpants.
Yeah, I pack so many when I'm going away.
Why? It's like, I don't know why.
I don't know why I do it. It's like I'm planning to shit
myself every day. You never know what the bug will
(04:21):
bring. You know the Buffalo over as if
it's like a regular occurrence. Yeah.
But I don't know why, like even Kendalls packing now to go we're
going to Mexico soon and she's like, mom, how many pairs of
underwear do I need? And I was like, and I said 9
because I'm like just pack a couple extra just in case,
right? Like we're there for a week.
(04:42):
If you're a kid, I can understand that.
Poop herself. Either she does, and neither do
I, but frankly. But that but.
Again, so many as if I do. I get that, but a full grown
adult saying yeah 9 or 10 would be good for yeah.
How long are we going? 10 days.
A week? No.
Seven days. Like yeah, 7:00 or bring them
(05:03):
all. Take your whole drawer.
Dump it in the egg, yeah. Wait a minute.
If you were going away for over 7 days, yeah.
Do you have enough underpants inyour drawer right now to cover
that? Just I would say like it's the
(05:24):
good ones or the bad ones because there's a hierarchy.
I think I could. I think I could cover maybe the
new ones. That you got at Christmas or the
holy ones? Obviously, yeah.
Yeah, maybe 10 days. I could get Foreman right now if
I like, if I maybe 10 days. But three out of those 10 days
would be threadbare. Yeah, the sucky ones.
(05:44):
Yes, so so how? Do you guys not have like?
How many I? Have like 100 pairs of
underwear. Underpants.
Pants. Underpants.
Panties how? No.
And why David? I don't know, I just buy
underwear. Do yours not get holes in them
'cause that's what happens to ours?
Times but not. They get woolly and tattered.
(06:05):
We keep wearing them if. You have 100 foreman.
I mean if you have 100 underpants.
I wouldn't. I don't know where you put them,
do you? Do you hang them in?
Your walk in underpant clothes. Closet I own like a drawer and I
put them all I just stuff them in there you know so I'm.
Taking, taking double the amountto to Mexico or whatever is
(06:29):
nothing. That's nothing, Dean.
I don't even know why you count.Just like grab a fistful and
Chuck. Them just throw.
Them in I need to make sure I have some right?
I need to make sure I have enough for that, like minimum.
But of all things and all trips and reasons to require more
underpants, yes, that is at the bottom of the list.
Because when you go away down South, like to Mexico like you
(06:51):
are, I might bring 7 pairs for seven days and end up wearing 3
because you're wearing a bathingsuit all the time.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, constantly.
I do take too many clothes when I'm done because I'm usually in
my bathing suits or cover ups orwhatever and then like a dress
for dinner, right. So I'm not really wearing shorts
and AT shirt, no, unless it's for breakfast.
(07:12):
But yeah, underwear I pack like I'm going to poop every day in
my pants. So you have double the amount of
underwear and how often you usedmore than 7 underpants.
Probably never, I don't think. I just like to have extra,
right? It's better to have it's, it's
(07:33):
like when you throw a party, youwant to have more, too much
food. Not not enough, right?
You want to have more rather than less.
But this? Is there a party in your
underpants? Yeah, it's a battery, Yeah.
But this, this goes back to how,how, how full your freezer is.
It's because you're afraid to run out of food.
I think you're afraid to run outof under.
I am. I don't want to be without
(07:54):
underwear. No.
Yeah, that's. Uncomfortable.
No one does. Right underpants.
I, I don't, I can't, I don't think you can equivocally say no
one, which I think most people don't Well, but.
Listen if you can. If you do go without, you have a
lot more room in your suitcase. You know what I do with that
extra room? What?
(08:15):
I just bring too many socks. Why are you making socks I will
never wear? Because I'm barefoot the whole
time there. Are sandals you're wearing
sandals? But I've got 10 pairs in case.
That's next episode. This is due to underwhelming
(08:49):
Demand, the podcast that saw itsshadow.
So, you know, six more weeks of lousy podcasts.
Sorry or more. Can't.
Can't. Extra long can't do episodes.
I realized that, by the way, forthe last several weeks we've
been talking about Oh Chilly Charlie is going to make his
prediction at the Southgate Center in Woodstock.
(09:11):
Chilly Charlie. It's a guy.
It's a guy in a in a suit. It's not even a Groundhog.
No, it's no Beaver. Either we had a.
Beaver. At least we had you dressed as a
Beaver. That's right.
That's how you do. It because we couldn't get a.
Groundhog. You get a.
For a Groundhog costume and they're like we.
Have a Beaver. We we dressed you as a Beaver.
Yeah, and that is as Canadian asyou can get.
(09:33):
After Tim Horton's. Yes, at the Tim Horton's, yeah.
That's just Canadians. OK, so we're about to do a
little thing here. Foreman and I are jointly going
to do this thing. This is something Foreman sent
me. Foreman sends me a lot of
headlines. Foreman sends me funny things a
lot. We, Foreman and I have a sorry
(09:55):
Rachel, a separate message, but he's sending me headlines.
It's just headlines and. It's mostly headlines, but
occasionally he'll send me something else.
And he sent me something and I went, well, this is funny, but I
know I can't. And then I went, wait a minute.
It's wait just one second. I used to be able to go.
(10:19):
I used to say, well it's very funny and thank you for sending
it, but I can't do it on the radio.
Yes, which I would know. Yes, and you would know that
he's. Our own amusement.
I'm sure he just sent this for my own amusement.
But then it occurred to me. Wait a minute, I'm not on the
radio anymore. I have a podcast.
(10:40):
A podcast that is going to give you 6 more lousy ones because of
the shadow. And I can do whatever the hell I
want. And I can do whatever the hell I
want. So.
So I'm going to give you what Foreman gave me, and then
Foreman's going to counter that with the exact opposite, sort
of. Maybe.
The Yang and the Yang, Does thatmake sense?
(11:03):
Yes, it's because each year, theUS Consumer Product Safety
Commission compiles data from the nation's.
Emergency rooms. To share with you.
This list of things medical professionals had to pull out of
the penises of patients. What?
(11:24):
Oh my God, you David, last year,2024.
Sometimes you will see the list at the end of the year or
whatever of things left in an Uber and, and you know, cell
phones, underpants, soil, usually a pair, you know.
That's my bad guys. Yeah, Gentures. 12 Extra.
Gentures and we all how? Oh.
(11:46):
Isn't that funny? No, no, no.
Are you ready? Do you have music for this?
Would you like some medical professional penis bullying?
Yes. Penis bullying music please.
How uncomfortable this is to listen to, I get it.
An Airpod? Just one.
Far too big. That's not how.
(12:08):
You're not getting 2 up there. You barely get one.
I could think it's. Not going to be stereo if you do
that I. Don't have one, but I don't
think much goes up there. A pin cap.
Oh. A coffee stirrer.
Oh. A screw.
Oh my God, this isn't comfortable.
(12:29):
A paper clip. Oh my, I'm starting to regret
doing this. Yes, this.
Is very painful. The handle.
Of a plastic spoon. I'll go through it fast.
The handle of a plastic spoon, aplastic fork.
Oh my God. Glue.
Glue. That's a very bad idea.
That's. Really a bad idea?
(12:50):
A rolled up magazine page. Oh my, the.
Ring from a Powerade bottle A Domino.
Oh, a full domino. What the actual fuck?
A phone charging cable. And lastly, things medical
professionals pulled out of penises last year.
Oh. My God.
(13:11):
A thermometer. Oh.
Actually, that's probably the least.
That makes the most sense out ofall of them.
That was. Designed to glide in supposed.
To go in your butt. Yeah.
Well, would you like to hear things things pulled out of
other orifices? Other.
Regions. That a woman might have.
(13:32):
Oh God. A plastic triceratops.
Oh, come. On a dinosaur toy.
A toy fire truck. Oh.
A spork. A sport.
That would hurt. A bar of some toy fire truck
wouldn't. Hurt.
That would. Yeah, I would.
(13:52):
I think it would hurt. Too deodorant.
No, you don't need. Deodorant.
A perfume bottle. Oh my God.
A pencil. No, that shouldn't be.
There. How about a pencil?
But sideways, no. Oh my.
God, a curling iron. A dry erase marker.
No. No, a bag of soil.
(14:17):
What keys? A what?
Keys. Keys, a candle, a climbing peg.
What's a? Finger puppet.
A finger puppet. OK, well, I and.
Finally. I know how that got there.
And finally, and I quote was roughhousing with her husband,
(14:39):
who lifted her up and accidentally dropped her on a
hot dog cooker. No, we didn't.
That's not acting on a hot dog. Oh my God.
Never mind. Straight up ready to.
I think we're done. Be available, yeah.
The Triceratops. This is due to underwhelming
(15:39):
demand. We are Dave, Rachel and Forum,
and this is the podcast that's, you know, like the Super Bowl
because sometimes the ads are better than the podcast slash
game, you know? Sure, like our sponsors.
Have a whole lot of them today, so nothing to know.
But if you would like to sponsorus, you can, you can go to
underwhelming.ca because you're probably your contents better
(16:01):
than ours, right? underwhelming.ca.
We've got sponsorship info on there.
You can e-mail us Dave, rachelforeman@gmail.com anytime.
We've got pricing starting at $75.00 an episode.
And if you can't do that, buy usa coffee.
Absolutely. Underwhelming.ca also,
everything's there. That's why we created a website
everybody, so it's all in one spot.
(16:22):
And thank you to John and Jan, who did just buy us a coffee.
Yeah. Well, thank.
You, John and Jan. Thank.
You very much I might know. I think you might know them too,
yeah. He also left a Valentine for Jan
in his purchase of a coffee. OK, read it now.
(16:43):
Really. Save it for next week for him
and save it. How about next week?
For next week. Yeah, cuz this is not the
Valentine's episode. Let's.
Do it. Yes, that's.
True, yeah. OK, something to look forward.
To OK, well, we'll. Send time for you shout outs,
yes? OK.
But noted, John. Thank you.
Thank you very much. All right, here's what you can
note Rachel's fun facts. Hey.
(17:05):
I really do think those are fun facts.
Rachel. Rachel.
OK, here we go. I don't know if you've heard of
this word before. A herkel durkel.
A herkel durkel. That's a Scottish word, and it
means to lie in bed long after it's time to be up and about.
Just on A herkel durkel here, a little longer.
(17:27):
Herkel Durkel in my bed. Well, I enjoy doing that, but I
will never call it that. No, I don't think I'll ever call
it that either. All right, OK.
It sounds like like a Herkel Durkel should be a little bit
more exciting than just lying inyour bed.
Maybe you're Herkel Durkel if you.
Have a herkel here in my bed. Just a lie.
If you have someone to herkel durkel with, now you've got.
(17:49):
Something sure, I guess. So I've got this triceratops.
Oh my God, stop it. My first thought was those
people didn't have someone. People with sensitive noses can
actually smell when it's about to rain.
Atmospheric chemicals begin to react with one another, creating
(18:10):
ozone, which has a sweet and pungent smell.
So some people can does that. Happen to you?
I don't know that it's sweet and.
You can smell, you think it smells like it's going to rain.
I can tell when it's rained, butthat's not.
Isn't that? Though, Well, that's right.
I can. Usually.
It's rained. It smells like rain, right?
(18:31):
Everybody knows what? That, yeah.
But even if after it's dry, I can tell that it did.
Like if you get up in the morning and it's like if I go as
I go. Oh yeah.
But sometimes I believe that I can.
Yeah. This is smelling it ahead of
time before it I. Wouldn't say that I could tell
that it's like out to rain. No, but I can.
(18:51):
I have a maybe I'm just because that's why you're not like a
good rainfall smelled like worms.
Yes, I agree. It sure can, yeah.
So maybe. I'm confusing.
That's a different fun fact. The after rainfall.
Smells like rain. Fun fact.
Like worms? Yeah.
Yeah. OK.
(19:13):
Did you know that dogs sneeze totell each other that they're
friendly? So when they're playing rough,
it doesn't turn into a fight? It's also known as a calming
signal. I don't know if I really believe
that because Roxy sneezes a lot and she hates Jeremy.
You said these are always factual.
You did say you. Preface this, I think my dogs
may be just the exception to every single rule, but she just
(19:36):
goes, you know? She does that a lot.
Is that a sneeze or is that a? Snort.
Well, it's kind of a huff Sneeze.
A huff. It's a bit of a huff, I guess.
She huffs that up. She huffs.
Adam for sure. I know I've seen dogs sneeze,
but I don't. I don't know that I've ever seen
dogs sneeze around one another. Not that I'm aware.
No, and usually it's when they get slobber everywhere.
(20:02):
OK, this one is definitely true for me.
For people with math anxiety, math problems trigger a similar
brain response as physical pain.Yeah, that's really checking off
the fun box. Visit OK.
Sorry. OK, how about this one then?
Did you know that your lips touch when you say the word
(20:23):
separate, but they don't touch when you say the word together?
I know you. I know you're all trying that
now, not. Even a fun fact.
That's some doofus going, you know, can you do this and stomp
your foot at the? Same true.
Come on. It's like if I say to you,
(20:44):
here's what my kids always say to me, I want you guys to try
this now. Try and say Coca-Cola without
your lips touching. Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola.
Now say it normally. Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola. I don't.
They don't. Your lips don't touch anyway.
That's what my kids do to me. They did.
We fell for it. God, I feel like an idiot.
(21:06):
Anyway, I know you're all tryingit now, OK?
Speaking of smart people like me, Albert Einstein was offered
the presidency of Israel in 1952, but he politely declined,
stating that he lacked the natural aptitude and experience
to deal with people. OK.
(21:26):
Some other some other presidentsmaybe should have declined also.
How the the world would have been so different, Teddy.
Had he been the president, right?
That's really you. Didn't like that one.
That's fascinating, isn't it? No, I'm sure some fact it's
certainly not fun. It's not even.
It's the opposite of fun. Well, how would this one then?
(21:47):
It's another one. Fun.
If we are living in a world where he did take the job to
look back and imagine. Imagine he didn't.
All right, also about presidents, I guess a
kleptocrat, that's a noun. That's a word that I hadn't
heard of before. Kleptocrat, that means a ruler
who uses political power to enrich themselves at a country's
(22:09):
expense. Just thought maybe that just
throw that one in there. Lately, that sounds familiar.
Yeah, might be. I feel like there's a reason you
included that, but let's move. All right.
Last one, maybe this one you'll like, I don't know.
An estimated .7% of the world's population is drunk at any given
(22:31):
moment. What's it right now?
That's it, That's all. .7. What is wrong?
That's funny, guys. It's only funny if I can see
what they're doing. OK, fine, I'm going to have my
beer over here then. .8%. Was there 7 billion people in
(22:56):
the world? I don't know, I.
Don't know is there now there was 6.
So did you do the math? For him, yeah, 490 million
people are drunk. Drunk at any given, oh, sorry,
49 million people. That's not very.
Many, I don't think. What's like 49?
How many do? We have in Canada not that many.
Oh, this picture. All of Canada drunk all the
time. All of Canada drunk all the
(23:17):
time. The this is due to underwhelming
(23:41):
demand. It's a podcast.
It's Dave, Rachel and Foreman. And be sure to check out our
website, underwhelming.ca. Read Rachel's blog on playing
hockey. It's very, very well written.
It's really good. Rachel.
I like it. Rachel, give us an update, maybe
on a future podcast on how the hockey thing is going.
(24:02):
Yeah, we had a week or two, we had a week off and then we have
a kind of a random schedule. So I'll have an update for you
next episode, so. When is the next practice that
we won't be attending but we just would like to know a
specific date and time and place?
Well, the next. One I will be at is, I think,
Valentine's Day. I can't think of a better place
(24:24):
to be, Dave. I don't know about you.
I'd. Like to go that.
Might be your lovers you want itto be and join me and arena.
Foreman and I are going on a on a road date.
I'm not sure if Ashley and Jana will be thrilled or just I'm
glad. You're gone.
I don't think they'll care. No, I'm not sure they really.
Don't. I don't think they'll care, No.
(24:44):
OK, Anyway, if you would like tosponsor this fine podcast as we
said before. Yes underwhelming.ca or buy me a
coffee dot com slash. Underwhelming coffees are 5
bucks each so OK. Yeah, you can always leave us a
voicemail at underwhelming.ca aswell.
Yeah, and this is the point in the in the podcast where we
check to see who's written to us.
So what have we got? Well, Stephanie would like to
(25:06):
comment about Rachel's hockey. OK OK saying pizza is legit.
What does that mean? Wash.
It was a pizza. Stop.
Stop. Well, you're wrong.
Wrong Stephanie, but she says. That's the thing.
When my husband was attempting to teach me how to ski, pizza
was how I got down the hill. Yeah, it's snow plowing.
(25:29):
What is wrong with you guys? No.
It's not. Yeah, pizza.
I wasn't taught pizza. I was taught to snow plow.
It's a. Snow plow triangle, Yeah, but.
It's a snow plow. I'm making on the ice.
I'm making snow, but I'm not plowing it on the ice.
Somebody ate Kinsley also messaged us and said Rachel is
right, Pizza stop is used for the littles in skiing and
(25:49):
skating that way. That is wrong.
Wrong. She's.
Not wrong and someone else told me that.
Little the kids a little well. I'm a newbie so I might as well
be, yeah. OK, Yeah.
Also, Erica Vincent, our realtorfriend also says that her kids
learn pizza stop in their Cam skate lessons.
(26:09):
Just saying guys. It's snow plowing.
Pizza, pizza, pizza. Wrong.
OK, I have a message from Lindsay DeVos.
DeVos, I can't remember. I'm sorry.
Still haven't nailed that down, Lindsay.
Please correct us. Yeah, Tell if it's a DeVos or
DeVos. Lindsay is somebody who listened
to Foreman out in Halifax. So we're super happy to have all
(26:30):
of our Maritime listeners with us.
Thank you. She says hi guys, happy new
year. I just finished listening to
episode 109. Good for you Rachel for trying
hockey. Keep up the hard work.
Happy birthday, Dave. Oh, thank you.
January 21st Oh, and for you Foreman, a couple things.
If you go to your Costco, If yougo to Costco, but you will know
(26:51):
whether they have your moose heads or not.
But you're not going to go to Costco, No, but guess what?
I know where you could get MooseHeads beer all the time if you
move back to Halifax and you'd have it whenever you want.
I know because there's a drive through Moose Head store in
Dartmouth that I would frequent coming home from the radio
station in Dartmouth, past the Moose Head store and then on
(27:12):
across the bridge over to Timberly.
I learned how to say dirt, dirt,dirt.
I didn't know. There was a drive through
Moosehead store. That's interesting.
When my buddies came to visit a couple times, actually Aaron and
Ian, we had to Aaron had to go to the Moosehead store because
not only is it full of all theirtypes of drinks that you can't
(27:35):
get here, but also it's the merchandise, it's the clothing,
it's the hats, it's the beer kegs, it's the anything and
everything Mooset that he. That's cool.
Mooset, there we go. That's neat, all right, Jen
said. This was Keenan and Keenan
Handyman Services. If you're looking for
handyman's, Johnny's your guy. They're licensed, they're
(27:56):
insured, they do all kinds of stuff.
Anything. Anything ever.
And Jen is the the the she cracks the whip so she says.
Thank you so much for a fabulousepisode.
I also wanted to let Dave know if he does need handy stuff done
around the house, having Johnny move in is not the way to
accomplish that. Ask me how I know.
(28:19):
We appreciate you. Keep at it because your podcasts
are the highlight of my week. Thank you.
Jen, Dad, I like. That, that's very funny all.
Right. Please check for your shadow.
I don't see a thing from my front or my back either.
(28:43):
Spring will be early, so say ayethe BX Beaver.
Very good Beaver. Congratulations.
That's awesome. Spring is coming early according
to the BX 93 Beaver. I cannot wait.
Rach, how's your husband over the Bills laws?
I Bills fans are such Oh my God.You should have been that a
whole day. He was telling us a week ahead
of time on Sunday, I am going tobe watching the Bills game.
You guys are not doing it or whatever.
So we're like, OK, whatever. So we're all home Sunday and and
(00:20):
the kids are like singing. Me and Julia are sitting beside
Jeremy on the couch, blaring reels and watching them
together. You're so mean.
But I didn't realize we were doing that and the Bills were
losing. And he's like, you know what,
All I wanted to do today was watch the Bills game and you 3.
(00:45):
And with that, let's get started.
That's so happy. I have a beer.
Who else has 1 today? I don't necessarily.
Rodenberg, OH, you find Moosehead.
Well, it's from the Beer Store. Oh, OK.
You know, tax free. Tax free still all right?
Good enough to stock up soon because it's about to be over,
Yeah. Well, you wanted to buy your
boats. You knew it was kind of Oh no,
(01:05):
that was. I know well I can use my $200.00
on. That in mind this is due to
underwhelming demand the podcastthat's like having an early
provincial election yeah a wasteof time and money even though
we're free I still think we're awaste of money so technically it
(01:25):
all it all kind of I. Don't think it's a waste of
money. It's.
Kind of a waste of money. Anyway, we're Dave, Rachel and
Foreman and coming up. Coming up, Rachel has some fun
facts. I do can't wait.
Foreman and Dave will do something that we could not do
on the radio. That's right.
(01:45):
Something we could never, never have done this on the radio.
We're gonna do that, but first. It's even borderline you to do
on this podcast. It really is OK.
And you may want to eat first, Iknow.
The general topic, I don't know what you're gonna bring up.
That's right. Just, you know, if you thought
you were done with best of 2024 lists, not.
Not yet, not. Yet.
(02:06):
Oh my God. OK.
Alright, but first, I find this fascinating and I don't know
why, but according to a survey, nearly half of all people carry
backup underwear with them. Underpants.
Underpants. That's right, nearly half of all
people carry backup underpants. The preferred terminology of
(02:28):
said podcast? That's right.
In case they have an accident orbecause they plan to change
clothes, like if they've gone tothe gym or something.
Nearly half. I've never carried a backup pair
of underwear with me anywhere, and I don't know that I've ever
(02:48):
needed it. Well if I've gone to the gym I
have, but that's it. Like I don't keep a spare pair.
Why do you need a backup when you go to the gym?
Well, if I'm saying go to the gym.
And then? Well, I'm wearing them, but
they're sweaty, right? So you shower and then you might
if I'm going somewhere else. If I'm just going home, then
I'll just go home and shower. Okay, But if I have to shower at
the gym? You don't generally have you
(03:11):
ever carried at any point in your life an extra pair of
underwear? No, because the whole I have a
whole other change of clothes and there's underwear with them.
I feel like there's a different topic because yeah, if you're
going to change, then you're going to, you have to completely
change. Exactly.
But it doesn't mean that I have two pairs in that change of
clothes to have an extra. No, I've never just had
(03:35):
underpants. No, no, just in case.
Well, if I'm packing like to go away like we're going away soon,
I always pack. I pack extra under.
I don't know why I pack so much underwear when I go on vacation.
Rachel. What?
Underpants. Underpants.
Sorry I pack so many underpants when I am going on vacation.
Sounds so much better it does. It's better than panties, which
(03:59):
I fucking hate. I hate it when people call them.
I think it's gross. Panties is up there with Moist.
Oh my God, you, David. Just anyway, so my underpants.
Yeah, I pack so many when I'm going away.
Why? It's like, I don't know why.
I don't know why I do it. It's like I'm planning to shit
myself every day. You never know what the bug will
(04:21):
bring. You know the Buffalo over as if
it's like a regular occurrence. Yeah.
But I don't know why, like even Kendalls packing now to go we're
going to Mexico soon and she's like, mom, how many pairs of
underwear do I need? And I was like, and I said 9
because I'm like just pack a couple extra just in case,
right? Like we're there for a week.
(04:42):
If you're a kid, I can understand that.
Poop herself. Either she does, and neither do
I, but frankly. But that but.
Again, so many as if I do. I get that, but a full grown
adult saying yeah 9 or 10 would be good for yeah.
How long are we going? 10 days.
A week? No.
Seven days. Like yeah, 7:00 or bring them
(05:03):
all. Take your whole drawer.
Dump it in the egg, yeah. Wait a minute.
If you were going away for over 7 days, yeah.
Do you have enough underpants inyour drawer right now to cover
that? Just I would say like it's the
(05:24):
good ones or the bad ones because there's a hierarchy.
I think I could. I think I could cover maybe the
new ones. That you got at Christmas or the
holy ones? Obviously, yeah.
Yeah, maybe 10 days. I could get Foreman right now if
I like, if I maybe 10 days. But three out of those 10 days
would be threadbare. Yeah, the sucky ones.
(05:44):
Yes, so so how? Do you guys not have like?
How many I? Have like 100 pairs of
underwear. Underpants.
Pants. Underpants.
Panties how? No.
And why David? I don't know, I just buy
underwear. Do yours not get holes in them
'cause that's what happens to ours?
Times but not. They get woolly and tattered.
(06:05):
We keep wearing them if. You have 100 foreman.
I mean if you have 100 underpants.
I wouldn't. I don't know where you put them,
do you? Do you hang them in?
Your walk in underpant clothes. Closet I own like a drawer and I
put them all I just stuff them in there you know so I'm.
Taking, taking double the amountto to Mexico or whatever is
(06:29):
nothing. That's nothing, Dean.
I don't even know why you count.Just like grab a fistful and
Chuck. Them just throw.
Them in I need to make sure I have some right?
I need to make sure I have enough for that, like minimum.
But of all things and all trips and reasons to require more
underpants, yes, that is at the bottom of the list.
Because when you go away down South, like to Mexico like you
(06:51):
are, I might bring 7 pairs for seven days and end up wearing 3
because you're wearing a bathingsuit all the time.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, constantly.
I do take too many clothes when I'm done because I'm usually in
my bathing suits or cover ups orwhatever and then like a dress
for dinner, right. So I'm not really wearing shorts
and AT shirt, no, unless it's for breakfast.
(07:12):
But yeah, underwear I pack like I'm going to poop every day in
my pants. So you have double the amount of
underwear and how often you usedmore than 7 underpants.
Probably never, I don't think. I just like to have extra,
right? It's better to have it's, it's
(07:33):
like when you throw a party, youwant to have more, too much
food. Not not enough, right?
You want to have more rather than less.
But this? Is there a party in your
underpants? Yeah, it's a battery, Yeah.
But this, this goes back to how,how, how full your freezer is.
It's because you're afraid to run out of food.
I think you're afraid to run outof under.
I am. I don't want to be without
(07:54):
underwear. No.
Yeah, that's. Uncomfortable.
No one does. Right underpants.
I, I don't, I can't, I don't think you can equivocally say no
one, which I think most people don't Well, but.
Listen if you can. If you do go without, you have a
lot more room in your suitcase. You know what I do with that
extra room? What?
(08:15):
I just bring too many socks. Why are you making socks I will
never wear? Because I'm barefoot the whole
time there. Are sandals you're wearing
sandals? But I've got 10 pairs in case.
That's next episode. This is due to underwhelming
(08:49):
Demand, the podcast that saw itsshadow.
So, you know, six more weeks of lousy podcasts.
Sorry or more. Can't.
Can't. Extra long can't do episodes.
I realized that, by the way, forthe last several weeks we've
been talking about Oh Chilly Charlie is going to make his
prediction at the Southgate Center in Woodstock.
(09:11):
Chilly Charlie. It's a guy.
It's a guy in a in a suit. It's not even a Groundhog.
No, it's no Beaver. Either we had a.
Beaver. At least we had you dressed as a
Beaver. That's right.
That's how you do. It because we couldn't get a.
Groundhog. You get a.
For a Groundhog costume and they're like we.
Have a Beaver. We we dressed you as a Beaver.
Yeah, and that is as Canadian asyou can get.
(09:33):
After Tim Horton's. Yes, at the Tim Horton's, yeah.
That's just Canadians. OK, so we're about to do a
little thing here. Foreman and I are jointly going
to do this thing. This is something Foreman sent
me. Foreman sends me a lot of
headlines. Foreman sends me funny things a
lot. We, Foreman and I have a sorry
(09:55):
Rachel, a separate message, but he's sending me headlines.
It's just headlines and. It's mostly headlines, but
occasionally he'll send me something else.
And he sent me something and I went, well, this is funny, but I
know I can't. And then I went, wait a minute.
It's wait just one second. I used to be able to go.
(10:19):
I used to say, well it's very funny and thank you for sending
it, but I can't do it on the radio.
Yes, which I would know. Yes, and you would know that
he's. Our own amusement.
I'm sure he just sent this for my own amusement.
But then it occurred to me. Wait a minute, I'm not on the
radio anymore. I have a podcast.
(10:40):
A podcast that is going to give you 6 more lousy ones because of
the shadow. And I can do whatever the hell I
want. And I can do whatever the hell I
want. So.
So I'm going to give you what Foreman gave me, and then
Foreman's going to counter that with the exact opposite, sort
of. Maybe.
The Yang and the Yang, Does thatmake sense?
(11:03):
Yes, it's because each year, theUS Consumer Product Safety
Commission compiles data from the nation's.
Emergency rooms. To share with you.
This list of things medical professionals had to pull out of
the penises of patients. What?
(11:24):
Oh my God, you David, last year,2024.
Sometimes you will see the list at the end of the year or
whatever of things left in an Uber and, and you know, cell
phones, underpants, soil, usually a pair, you know.
That's my bad guys. Yeah, Gentures. 12 Extra.
Gentures and we all how? Oh.
(11:46):
Isn't that funny? No, no, no.
Are you ready? Do you have music for this?
Would you like some medical professional penis bullying?
Yes. Penis bullying music please.
How uncomfortable this is to listen to, I get it.
An Airpod? Just one.
Far too big. That's not how.
(12:08):
You're not getting 2 up there. You barely get one.
I could think it's. Not going to be stereo if you do
that I. Don't have one, but I don't
think much goes up there. A pin cap.
Oh. A coffee stirrer.
Oh. A screw.
Oh my God, this isn't comfortable.
(12:29):
A paper clip. Oh my, I'm starting to regret
doing this. Yes, this.
Is very painful. The handle.
Of a plastic spoon. I'll go through it fast.
The handle of a plastic spoon, aplastic fork.
Oh my God. Glue.
Glue. That's a very bad idea.
That's. Really a bad idea?
(12:50):
A rolled up magazine page. Oh my, the.
Ring from a Powerade bottle A Domino.
Oh, a full domino. What the actual fuck?
A phone charging cable. And lastly, things medical
professionals pulled out of penises last year.
Oh. My God.
(13:11):
A thermometer. Oh.
Actually, that's probably the least.
That makes the most sense out ofall of them.
That was. Designed to glide in supposed.
To go in your butt. Yeah.
Well, would you like to hear things things pulled out of
other orifices? Other.
Regions. That a woman might have.
(13:32):
Oh God. A plastic triceratops.
Oh, come. On a dinosaur toy.
A toy fire truck. Oh.
A spork. A sport.
That would hurt. A bar of some toy fire truck
wouldn't. Hurt.
That would. Yeah, I would.
(13:52):
I think it would hurt. Too deodorant.
No, you don't need. Deodorant.
A perfume bottle. Oh my God.
A pencil. No, that shouldn't be.
There. How about a pencil?
But sideways, no. Oh my.
God, a curling iron. A dry erase marker.
No. No, a bag of soil.
(14:17):
What keys? A what?
Keys. Keys, a candle, a climbing peg.
What's a? Finger puppet.
A finger puppet. OK, well, I and.
Finally. I know how that got there.
And finally, and I quote was roughhousing with her husband,
(14:39):
who lifted her up and accidentally dropped her on a
hot dog cooker. No, we didn't.
That's not acting on a hot dog. Oh my God.
Never mind. Straight up ready to.
I think we're done. Be available, yeah.
The Triceratops. This is due to underwhelming
(15:39):
demand. We are Dave, Rachel and Forum,
and this is the podcast that's, you know, like the Super Bowl
because sometimes the ads are better than the podcast slash
game, you know? Sure, like our sponsors.
Have a whole lot of them today, so nothing to know.
But if you would like to sponsorus, you can, you can go to
underwhelming.ca because you're probably your contents better
(16:01):
than ours, right? underwhelming.ca.
We've got sponsorship info on there.
You can e-mail us Dave, rachelforeman@gmail.com anytime.
We've got pricing starting at $75.00 an episode.
And if you can't do that, buy usa coffee.
Absolutely. Underwhelming.ca also,
everything's there. That's why we created a website
everybody, so it's all in one spot.
(16:22):
And thank you to John and Jan, who did just buy us a coffee.
Yeah. Well, thank.
You, John and Jan. Thank.
You very much I might know. I think you might know them too,
yeah. He also left a Valentine for Jan
in his purchase of a coffee. OK, read it now.
(16:43):
Really. Save it for next week for him
and save it. How about next week?
For next week. Yeah, cuz this is not the
Valentine's episode. Let's.
Do it. Yes, that's.
True, yeah. OK, something to look forward.
To OK, well, we'll. Send time for you shout outs,
yes? OK.
But noted, John. Thank you.
Thank you very much. All right, here's what you can
note Rachel's fun facts. Hey.
(17:05):
I really do think those are fun facts.
Rachel. Rachel.
OK, here we go. I don't know if you've heard of
this word before. A herkel durkel.
A herkel durkel. That's a Scottish word, and it
means to lie in bed long after it's time to be up and about.
Just on A herkel durkel here, a little longer.
(17:27):
Herkel Durkel in my bed. Well, I enjoy doing that, but I
will never call it that. No, I don't think I'll ever call
it that either. All right, OK.
It sounds like like a Herkel Durkel should be a little bit
more exciting than just lying inyour bed.
Maybe you're Herkel Durkel if you.
Have a herkel here in my bed. Just a lie.
If you have someone to herkel durkel with, now you've got.
(17:49):
Something sure, I guess. So I've got this triceratops.
Oh my God, stop it. My first thought was those
people didn't have someone. People with sensitive noses can
actually smell when it's about to rain.
Atmospheric chemicals begin to react with one another, creating
(18:10):
ozone, which has a sweet and pungent smell.
So some people can does that. Happen to you?
I don't know that it's sweet and.
You can smell, you think it smells like it's going to rain.
I can tell when it's rained, butthat's not.
Isn't that? Though, Well, that's right.
I can. Usually.
It's rained. It smells like rain, right?
(18:31):
Everybody knows what? That, yeah.
But even if after it's dry, I can tell that it did.
Like if you get up in the morning and it's like if I go as
I go. Oh yeah.
But sometimes I believe that I can.
Yeah. This is smelling it ahead of
time before it I. Wouldn't say that I could tell
that it's like out to rain. No, but I can.
(18:51):
I have a maybe I'm just because that's why you're not like a
good rainfall smelled like worms.
Yes, I agree. It sure can, yeah.
So maybe. I'm confusing.
That's a different fun fact. The after rainfall.
Smells like rain. Fun fact.
Like worms? Yeah.
Yeah. OK.
(19:13):
Did you know that dogs sneeze totell each other that they're
friendly? So when they're playing rough,
it doesn't turn into a fight? It's also known as a calming
signal. I don't know if I really believe
that because Roxy sneezes a lot and she hates Jeremy.
You said these are always factual.
You did say you. Preface this, I think my dogs
may be just the exception to every single rule, but she just
(19:36):
goes, you know? She does that a lot.
Is that a sneeze or is that a? Snort.
Well, it's kind of a huff Sneeze.
A huff. It's a bit of a huff, I guess.
She huffs that up. She huffs.
Adam for sure. I know I've seen dogs sneeze,
but I don't. I don't know that I've ever seen
dogs sneeze around one another. Not that I'm aware.
No, and usually it's when they get slobber everywhere.
(20:02):
OK, this one is definitely true for me.
For people with math anxiety, math problems trigger a similar
brain response as physical pain.Yeah, that's really checking off
the fun box. Visit OK.
Sorry. OK, how about this one then?
Did you know that your lips touch when you say the word
(20:23):
separate, but they don't touch when you say the word together?
I know you. I know you're all trying that
now, not. Even a fun fact.
That's some doofus going, you know, can you do this and stomp
your foot at the? Same true.
Come on. It's like if I say to you,
(20:44):
here's what my kids always say to me, I want you guys to try
this now. Try and say Coca-Cola without
your lips touching. Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola.
Now say it normally. Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola. I don't.
They don't. Your lips don't touch anyway.
That's what my kids do to me. They did.
We fell for it. God, I feel like an idiot.
(21:06):
Anyway, I know you're all tryingit now, OK?
Speaking of smart people like me, Albert Einstein was offered
the presidency of Israel in 1952, but he politely declined,
stating that he lacked the natural aptitude and experience
to deal with people. OK.
(21:26):
Some other some other presidentsmaybe should have declined also.
How the the world would have been so different, Teddy.
Had he been the president, right?
That's really you. Didn't like that one.
That's fascinating, isn't it? No, I'm sure some fact it's
certainly not fun. It's not even.
It's the opposite of fun. Well, how would this one then?
(21:47):
It's another one. Fun.
If we are living in a world where he did take the job to
look back and imagine. Imagine he didn't.
All right, also about presidents, I guess a
kleptocrat, that's a noun. That's a word that I hadn't
heard of before. Kleptocrat, that means a ruler
who uses political power to enrich themselves at a country's
(22:09):
expense. Just thought maybe that just
throw that one in there. Lately, that sounds familiar.
Yeah, might be. I feel like there's a reason you
included that, but let's move. All right.
Last one, maybe this one you'll like, I don't know.
An estimated .7% of the world's population is drunk at any given
(22:31):
moment. What's it right now?
That's it, That's all. .7. What is wrong?
That's funny, guys. It's only funny if I can see
what they're doing. OK, fine, I'm going to have my
beer over here then. .8%. Was there 7 billion people in
(22:56):
the world? I don't know, I.
Don't know is there now there was 6.
So did you do the math? For him, yeah, 490 million
people are drunk. Drunk at any given, oh, sorry,
49 million people. That's not very.
Many, I don't think. What's like 49?
How many do? We have in Canada not that many.
Oh, this picture. All of Canada drunk all the
time. All of Canada drunk all the
(23:17):
time. The this is due to underwhelming
(23:41):
demand. It's a podcast.
It's Dave, Rachel and Foreman. And be sure to check out our
website, underwhelming.ca. Read Rachel's blog on playing
hockey. It's very, very well written.
It's really good. Rachel.
I like it. Rachel, give us an update, maybe
on a future podcast on how the hockey thing is going.
(24:02):
Yeah, we had a week or two, we had a week off and then we have
a kind of a random schedule. So I'll have an update for you
next episode, so. When is the next practice that
we won't be attending but we just would like to know a
specific date and time and place?
Well, the next. One I will be at is, I think,
Valentine's Day. I can't think of a better place
(24:24):
to be, Dave. I don't know about you.
I'd. Like to go that.
Might be your lovers you want itto be and join me and arena.
Foreman and I are going on a on a road date.
I'm not sure if Ashley and Jana will be thrilled or just I'm
glad. You're gone.
I don't think they'll care. No, I'm not sure they really.
Don't. I don't think they'll care, No.
(24:44):
OK, Anyway, if you would like tosponsor this fine podcast as we
said before. Yes underwhelming.ca or buy me a
coffee dot com slash. Underwhelming coffees are 5
bucks each so OK. Yeah, you can always leave us a
voicemail at underwhelming.ca aswell.
Yeah, and this is the point in the in the podcast where we
check to see who's written to us.
So what have we got? Well, Stephanie would like to
(25:06):
comment about Rachel's hockey. OK OK saying pizza is legit.
What does that mean? Wash.
It was a pizza. Stop.
Stop. Well, you're wrong.
Wrong Stephanie, but she says. That's the thing.
When my husband was attempting to teach me how to ski, pizza
was how I got down the hill. Yeah, it's snow plowing.
(25:29):
What is wrong with you guys? No.
It's not. Yeah, pizza.
I wasn't taught pizza. I was taught to snow plow.
It's a. Snow plow triangle, Yeah, but.
It's a snow plow. I'm making on the ice.
I'm making snow, but I'm not plowing it on the ice.
Somebody ate Kinsley also messaged us and said Rachel is
right, Pizza stop is used for the littles in skiing and
(25:49):
skating that way. That is wrong.
Wrong. She's.
Not wrong and someone else told me that.
Little the kids a little well. I'm a newbie so I might as well
be, yeah. OK, Yeah.
Also, Erica Vincent, our realtorfriend also says that her kids
learn pizza stop in their Cam skate lessons.
(26:09):
Just saying guys. It's snow plowing.
Pizza, pizza, pizza. Wrong.
OK, I have a message from Lindsay DeVos.
DeVos, I can't remember. I'm sorry.
Still haven't nailed that down, Lindsay.
Please correct us. Yeah, Tell if it's a DeVos or
DeVos. Lindsay is somebody who listened
to Foreman out in Halifax. So we're super happy to have all
(26:30):
of our Maritime listeners with us.
Thank you. She says hi guys, happy new
year. I just finished listening to
episode 109. Good for you Rachel for trying
hockey. Keep up the hard work.
Happy birthday, Dave. Oh, thank you.
January 21st Oh, and for you Foreman, a couple things.
If you go to your Costco, If yougo to Costco, but you will know
(26:51):
whether they have your moose heads or not.
But you're not going to go to Costco, No, but guess what?
I know where you could get MooseHeads beer all the time if you
move back to Halifax and you'd have it whenever you want.
I know because there's a drive through Moose Head store in
Dartmouth that I would frequent coming home from the radio
station in Dartmouth, past the Moose Head store and then on
(27:12):
across the bridge over to Timberly.
I learned how to say dirt, dirt,dirt.
I didn't know. There was a drive through
Moosehead store. That's interesting.
When my buddies came to visit a couple times, actually Aaron and
Ian, we had to Aaron had to go to the Moosehead store because
not only is it full of all theirtypes of drinks that you can't
(27:35):
get here, but also it's the merchandise, it's the clothing,
