(00:00):
CTV does a story though of the Jelly Roll gave that girl a car
and. Right, I didn't see.
That oh, it's cool. So I saw that girl.
I'm part of this group called 100 Women who Care now.
So we give $100 four times a year and and so she's from 519
Pursuit, which has been following us for years.
What you are seeing play out is the compassionate response of
(00:22):
Michelle Boiseno of 519 Pursuit.And they're like a grassroots
organization. They help homeless people. 519
Pursuit helped her, and so now she works for them.
So she spoke, and people were crying.
Well, blindfolded for the surprise, Michelle told the star
her story. Well Jelly.
I'll have three years sober April 25th.
(00:44):
I was a hardcore intravenous crystal meth user.
Touched Jelly Roll, who's battled his own addictions,
presented Michelle with the keysto a car.
Nobody more deserving than her. I think after hearing her speak
for 5 minutes she was amazing. If you could stand in front of
yourself at your darkest moment and say this day is coming, what
(01:06):
do you think that would mean to that person?
I would mean everything, right? Just to be able to tell myself
to like, hold on, that it's going to get better, that you
know you're loved and one day you're going to love yourself.
Hey, this is due to underwhelming demand.
(01:26):
It's the podcast that can now officially officially confirm
March 2025. Came in like a bit of a Dick and
went out like a real douchebag, yeah.
I mean, a Dick, yeah. Yeah.
Well, March. And by the way, it's very rare
for it to do that. You don't often hear, you know,
that's why Lion lamb. You don't hear Douchebag.
(01:48):
Dick. Douchebag.
Yeah, you don't hear that very often.
Usually. Not usually.
We're we're day Rachel. Look for him and on the podcast
today. Can a spontaneous gesture from
your partner come with no strings attached?
Can't wait for him. And that'll be fun.
Yeah, well, Rachel's got the do's and don'ts of a birthday
party. Kids birthday party.
(02:10):
Yeah, kids. Does that include murder
mysteries? I would assume.
I would assume. You'll find out does.
It include any do's at all, yeah.
And how about some good idea? Bad idea?
Haven't done that in a while. Look at that.
That's coming up on the podcast too.
But right now, hey, hats off to our sponsor Cabs for A cause.
(02:31):
Good idea to get a calf at the sale at the Canadian Dairy Expo
at the time of this release tomorrow night.
There you go. April 2nd April 2nd is the live
sale 7:00 in the We Cover Cow Coliseum in Stratford at the
Canadian Dairy Expo or online atdlms.ca if you want to check
(02:51):
that out. The live sale is April 2nd.
The frozen genetic sale you got one more day that closes April
3rd. That's online at Farmgate timed
auctions if you want to check that out there till April 3rd.
I know this comes out April first so.
The genetics sale is on right now, well, at 9:00 AM today on
the 1st, right? Yeah, and then closes on the
(03:11):
3rd. So you can check out the frozen
genetics index. The semen lots have been posted.
Well, I've been waiting. I had no idea the sailors were
in town. Well, a great sailors.
Yes, that's. Late week at the Dairy Expo.
Late. Week at the Canadian Dairy Expo.
(03:33):
That's what they should call it.Yeah, OK.
Great. Have we mentioned this is a
fundraiser for a Children's Hospital?
It is what it is, yes, I'm pretty sure how perfect is that
they get. Tired of all the semen jokes?
You know they do, yes, Children's Hospital, they've
raised, Daryl and Sarah Marcus have raised with Cavs for a cost
(03:55):
over $150,000, not including this year.
So this year, of course, we'll put them well over that.
I'm sure for Children's Hospitalhere at London Health Sciences
Center, which is an amazing hospital.
We know how much great work theydo.
So Congrats to the Cavs for A cause for raising all this
money. And you know, if you're in the
market for a calf or a pre calf,check out Cavs for A cause.
(04:19):
OK, a pre calf OK. Yeah.
It's amazing, an amazing gesturefor the entire dairy industry to
get behind this. Of course, yeah.
With a gesture from your partnerwithout strings attached.
You almost took me by surprise by that one with that one.
Good for you. Yeah, very well.
Done. Very clever.
Well done so. Imagine your significant other
(04:42):
does a spontaneous gesture just for you, out of the blue.
You weren't expecting it. It doesn't happen often, and
could it ever possibly be just the gesture or is there always
an ulterior motive? No strings, there's.
Always something that comes withit.
I don't think I can answer that for you.
(05:03):
I can't answer that for you and your and your partner.
Well, I don't know exact. I would have to know the
spontaneous gesture first. If my husband did a spontaneous
gesture for me, there would be no strings attached at that
moment until he wanted to throw it in my face later for whatever
(05:25):
dumb thing I did. He would do that to you.
Yeah, because in our house I'm the dad and he's the mom.
So we have very role reversal marriage here.
Gosh, Dave, Can you imagine hanging on to something to throw
it in her face later? You Can you imagine if that was
a world without? Response.
It doesn't. It doesn't work anywhere.
Absolutely it doesn't work. No, like it doesn't work.
(05:48):
I don't know. It works for him, but anyway.
You could hang on. She said something the other
night to me before we went to bed and I went really.
Really. You're blaming me for that?
No, I go to. Me to clarify, Jana.
No, no. Yeah, I think it over in bed
anyway. And so we're in the car the next
day. And I said, well, you know what
you said to me last night? No, just bring that.
(06:11):
And she was like, no, I don't remember saying that.
I'm like, OK, fine. Why did I hang on to that?
What's the point? There's no point.
No point. Look, and I don't want to get
myself in trouble by saying all this in the first place.
OK, she doesn't listen anyway, right?
Oh, OK. Well, I love you so much, I
would assume. We love you.
(06:31):
I would assume you're already introuble, as we get it.
You brought this up. You're already in trouble.
It's your fault. She's.
Listening. To this, I'm assuming this is
only my inner thoughts, my innersuspicions coming out, which
should never come out, and I know better.
But you got a podcast to do and you need content, so here we
are. So it's her fault for Out of the
(06:52):
Blue, very nicely, very spontaneously, very generously
making me a sandwich for lunch to bring to work.
Wow. Isn't that?
Lovely, yes. So, OK, this is something that
absolutely almost it never happens.
No. Okay, no, because Dave I think
(07:15):
had his lunch packed for him, didn't you?
Yeah, we don't. We don't pack each others
lunches at our house either. Well, yeah, but when we say that
it was a pack, it was carrots, celery and some almonds.
It wasn't. Washed.
Cut. Peeled.
I didn't do that. I would say that yes, I didn't
do that. I didn't do that.
You didn't do that. Thought of every day, anyway.
(07:37):
No. Oh my God.
It must be nice. It must.
Be nice. He never did.
He never did. It was made for you.
Put in a bag for me. She would put it in a bag on
Sunday there would be 5 bags andI'd throw it in my lunch every
day. I don't know.
OK, yes, but I was I never considered.
I'm with you for a minute, but we don't make each other's
(07:59):
lunches. That's it's you're an adult,
make your own goddamn lunch. If you don't, if you don't eat
lunch, don't eat lunch today. I don't have.
Friends who are floored that Jeremy even does everything he
does at home. You know, like he packs kids
lunches, he makes dinner. He like they're Lord that he
does that. Sometimes there will be a
provision, a provision from dinner.
(08:19):
Do you want this tomorrow for lunch?
And so it will be put on a platefor me to look, you know, it's
just a leftover, but for the most part.
On a plate, even. Wow, she yeah, she takes one of
the plates from dinner. And then packs it up.
And just puts is it? And up or do you have to do the
packing up? No.
Well, I might. I might do the.
(08:40):
Packing just Saran wrap in the fridge.
Yeah, it just depends on who's doing what side of the cleanup.
Right, OK. Yeah, that's how that.
Works anyway foreman have have at.
It, I mean, Ashley don't have tomake lunch because most of the
time she's working from home so she can make it at lunchtime
from the fridge at the time you're going to eat.
Right. Yes, same.
But yeah, normally I'll just grab whatever and make myself a
(09:03):
lunch. So this was spontaneous.
Very much welcome, very much appreciated, that's for sure.
But can't help shake the feelingthat there's like a series of
small tasks waiting for me at some point.
Because you're. Making dinner for the next three
nights, I can answer. That question for you in your
(09:26):
particular case, since it almostnever happens, then absolutely.
There are things in that. Now she may have done it for you
because she just loves you. She can't get enough of you,
but. Boy do I ever love her and can't
get enough of that. Exactly.
But I believe I do believe that literally never happens.
(09:49):
There may be a string or two attached.
Am I right? No, I think she probably just,
she was making sandwiches for the kids, maybe for layer
lunches and thought that is whathappened and make a third, you
know? But it was involved, there was
little. Foreman will enjoy this.
I would need to do sandwich. Foreman.
Put some lettuce and a tomato onthere.
(10:10):
There's a lot of ingredient. Next time he screws up I will
bring this up and throw it in his face.
She doesn't need anymore ammunition.
She's gone. So why are?
We even just known you for a long time.
I can confirm there are endless amounts of things you can find.
I don't even know why we're talking about this.
(10:31):
Because this conversation is yetanother Pull it in her chamber.
Now you're. You are right.
You are actually screwed now. You are.
Watch out. This is due to underwhelming
(11:00):
demand. It's a podcast.
The podcast That may seem like an April Fools stroke, but
sorry, it's not It's. We're still here.
Surprise, it's April Fools. Here we are a new episode.
It's. The real deal.
Whether you like it or not. We haven't done this for a while
and I I feel like I have a couple of things that I would
like to bring forward. So it's time for a good idea,
(11:21):
bad idea. It's time for another good idea,
bad idea. It's been a while since we've
done this, OK? Too, too long.
Yes. Well, I don't remember when we
did. This last well, when you're on
the radio every day, you're constantly looking for you'll
take any. If you have a bit called good
idea, bad idea, you'll throw anything in.
(11:43):
There. Sure.
Yeah. You know, like, we better find
something to do. Yeah.
But now we're, you know, we're alittle bit more picky.
So I came across a couple of things.
And because I didn't exactly know what to do with them, I
thought, well, it must be time for good.
Bad idea. That's what we'll do with it,
that's what. That segment is for and if
there's anything that comes up in your life, by the way, you
(12:04):
could always give us some ideas.What have you seen that just
blows your mind? You.
Have to get us is it or isn't ita good or a bad idea?
In your life, if there's a situation, is this situation a
good or a bad should I do this or not?
We're happy to give you all of our very strong opinions about
what we think you should do of. Course, of course, yeah.
(12:25):
All right. So there's an emerging trend of
people apparently and I, I am not aware that I've seen anybody
wearing these, but how would I know wearing sweatpant jeans?
And if you haven't seen. Sweatpant jeans.
Sweatpant jeans, certainly. Google it and you will see what
(12:46):
I'm talking about. They are literally sweatpants
that are made to look like denimjeans.
But they're sweat pant material.Yeah, they have a tie at the
like, they have a tie at the topand they're I think the trend
now is for baggier jeans anyway.They're probably short,
(13:09):
whatever, they're faded, but they do.
If you Google it Sweat Pant Jeans, you'll get an idea of
what I'm talking about. They do because I'm thinking
I've got pretty stretchy jeans. I mean they are technically
jeans maybe ish but they're quite.
I mean this. Is not like what I'm looking at.
This is pure sweat pour materialjeans with a denim wash to them
(13:35):
I guess. Yeah, but if you were wearing
something that covers, you know?The ones I'm looking at actually
look like real jeans. Yeah, they can't be, are they?
But if you cover the drawstrings, then you've got.
Once you look at the drawstring,you know that they're
sweatpants. Here's French Terry baggy jeans
from the Gap. OK, let's see.
So they're calling them French Terry Baggy.
(13:57):
Jeans, Terry, just. Sweatpants, folks.
That's it. There's sweatpants.
Yeah, there's sweatpants. The seams.
Seams like jeans and the pocketslike jeans.
Yes, you know what? I kind of like them actually.
I've taught you more. Good idea, yeah.
Look, I don't hate them. Foreman's right.
We've been already making sweatpant jeans for like 10
(14:20):
years. Yeah, they're stretchy.
Somewhere along the line, all the Jean manufacturers went.
Well, you know, what we should do is we should make people a
little bit more comfortable because people are, you know,
always saying, well, my jeans aren't that comfortable, no
tight or whatever. And the reason they're tight is
because, well, I've gotten a little bigger and all.
I think people just aren't wearing jeans.
(14:42):
After COVID, I think everybody got used to wearing comfy
clothes and I think fewer peopleare wearing jeans.
I haven't stopped but OK. Well, you haven't.
Stopped because you never you never even understood the
concept of hard pants. No, I didn't understand that
your. Lounge around the house.
Wear is stiff actual jeans. Yeah, I like.
Jeans. I think this just never made
(15:02):
sense. Bad idea.
I did that as a teenager. I wore jeans all the time, like
laying around the house all the time.
Now I'm in leggings. I'm in like joggers.
I you know, so I would go for. These I'm pants.
Look, no offense, I would go. I'm in the wall.
Sweatpants, but they look nice. I believe this and and you know,
you can get angry with me if youwant, but I believe that once
(15:23):
you've reached the stage where sweatpants are your, where
you're now wearing and we have reached that stage because kids
are wearing. Sweat.
They're cool. Everywhere.
Yeah. So once we start wearing
sweatpants everywhere, we've just basically given up.
Yeah. I don't know.
(15:44):
The styles will change, I think,but yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be
wearing them out. And I feel like if you've never
seen the movie, I always bring this up and I I don't know if
you guys have ever seen Wally. No, the Disney movie.
Have you seen not? Wally parts of it.
Yeah, The only reason that they're styled to look like
jeans is because people still have some sense of, like, self
(16:06):
respect, that they want to appear as though they're wearing
normal clothes. We still have that shred left.
We haven't lost it yet. Yeah.
Maybe. So I think we're just at a
magical time where utility and fashion are converging to give
us sweatpant jeans, and it's a win win.
Good idea. OK, but do.
(16:27):
You not see believe that you. Not see us taking the direction
of Wally where we all just sit in chairs and don't get up.
Is that what happens in Walling?Oh yeah, Humans turn into blobs.
They don't get up. The chairs move.
We never have to get up sitting.Is an epidemic.
Isn't that what they say sittingis a?
And therefore we would not require, we would not require
(16:48):
pants at that stage. So right.
I guess I. Guess we'll just sit around your
undies. Like the whole, the stretch,
whatever you call the stretchy thing, what do you call them?
I don't know what the drawstrings or whatever I'm
telling you right now. You know when I you know when
you're out walking, if you're ina mall, if there's so a lot of
people around, some of those stretch pants are really working
(17:08):
hard. I mean the leg, what I'm saying.
Yeah, I mean. They're pulling their own
weight, so to speak. Yeah, so to.
Yeah, I get that. Yeah.
So, you know, they're more comfortable.
I mean they're. Headed in this direction anyway,
so I'm. You say it's a bad idea.
Well, I just think it's. Sweatpant jeans.
(17:29):
Bad idea. Bad idea.
Yeah, sweatpants overall, I think we're about, I mean, it's
one thing to have your socks. What do you have their place I
feel like. You know.
I don't think they're a bad idea.
All the time. Yeah, I don't.
I'm not going out in sweatpants.If I'm sitting at home, I'm
probably in sweatpants. But you're suggesting these
sweatpant jeans are enabling sweatpants?
Jeans you can go out in because they're fancy.
(17:51):
Sweatpant tuxes. I think that.
Exists sweatpants throb, breaststhe next.
Idea. Bad idea.
Maybe we're over the line there.OK.
OK. All right.
So Foreman, you say it's a greattime to be alive.
And sure. You, Rachel.
Yeah. Yeah.
Bad. Idea.
Good idea. Good idea.
OK, all right, another good idea.
Bad idea. Olympic rowers at the upcoming,
(18:14):
and this is a long way off, 2032Summer Games.
They will be in Australia. Oh, Brisbane.
Yeah, I. Think the next Summer Games are
in LA Tariff town? That's right.
Anyway, Tariff. Town So this is not the next
Summer Games, but the ones after. 2032 OK the Olympic
rowers may have to compete in crocodile infested waters,
(18:38):
Australian officials now say no big deal.
Good idea. Great idea, Good or bad idea?
Genius idea? Great idea, make me row faster.
Rowing ratings will be sky high.Everyone will watch.
That is a sport. Do they tip over very often?
Not like when they're doing it, but.
(18:59):
Like, not usually. Not at that level, no.
I mean, as president of the Canoe Club, would you want a
canoe on a crocodile? But that's different.
Well, as a child when you canoe,you do tend to fall out a lot
because they're very skiddy and very tippy.
So for them, for teenage levels,absolutely not.
(19:20):
For listener level rowers and Chandlers, their Olympic.
Athlete. Go for it.
Good idea. Yes, these are.
These are the best of the best. Yes, why not?
No, I. Think This is why do they?
Have to be on a on water with crocodiles?
Like do they not have any water without crocodiles?
In Australia, do you hear yourself saying that out loud?
(19:40):
In Australia do they have any water without Crocs?
And if it didn't have Crocs, then it probably had sharks.
How do you swim in these things?What do you do to get away from
them? Well, don't swim in the river
Rachel, because it's crocodile infested.
Yes, I. Swim in the pool.
Don't have to tell me twice. You might want to go in the
pool. I anyway it's a very bad idea.
(20:01):
Bad idea. I'm in the pool.
I would be. What do you mean it's a bad
idea? That's I don't want to be a I
wouldn't be a rower on a crocodile infested water.
You wouldn't be a rower anyway. Point.
You asked me if I was if it was a good idea, bad idea.
I'm telling you, it's a bad idea.
Why is it a bad idea though? Why is I?
Want to do that? Well, you don't have.
(20:22):
To yes, I think the only people,the only people who have an
excuse to say it's a bad idea are the rowers themselves.
They're the only one really waiting.
It's a good idea. Absolutely.
Not necessarily, but you have tohave plenty of, you know, what's
your good reason for not wantingthese people to?
I don't want them to get eaten. Well, that's what I I don't want
them to get. Everyone you want to talk about
(20:45):
must see TV. We're talking the 2032 Summer
Games. Am I right?
They've armed everyone with at least one or two giant weapons.
So like, have at it, yes? I I mean I guess.
I don't know, Rachel. This.
I don't know how to fend off a croc.
Well, give you an OAR and you might figure it out.
(21:06):
It's the only thing I have. I guess I will, yes.
That's right, what just bit my oar.
Keep going, keep going, bastard.This is due to underwhelming
(21:31):
demand. It's Dave, Rachel Inform And
this is the podcast that's like snow in April.
No, not. Unwelcome.
Yeah, not very popular. A real motherfucker.
He well wouldn't go that far. I wouldn't that.
Podcast. That's a real motherfucker.
That's an MF. OK, you know what's also a real
(21:53):
motherfucker is putting on a child's birthday party.
I don't, I don't know whether I guess I could give you that one
only because. That is a good.
One, because it's true also. Yeah.
So my daughter Kendall, the youngest one, just turned 8 and
we had her birthday party on theweekend and it was at home with
(22:14):
10 children. So immediately whose?
Idea was. Bad idea.
Bad idea. Kendall's not mine.
What I wanted to say. Whose idea was it to let the 8
year old have the idea for the birthday party?
So it was her birthday. She was really into, she, she's
a big Swifty. So she wanted to have a Taylor
Swift themed birthday party which had to be at home.
(22:39):
And so I, I, I agreed eventuallywhat I wanted to do was and pay
for take all the kids out to go see the new Snow White movie
because it came out the day before her birthday.
Her birthday was March 22nd, which was a Saturday.
And so she got to have her partyon her birthday day, which is
(22:59):
unusual, but she didn't want to go see the movie.
I said I'll pay whatever the feeis so that we don't have to have
a birthday party at my house. But she wouldn't agree.
So her and her big sister now these are I've got some do's and
don'ts now after doing so many birthday parties for 12 years
now of 12 years of birthday parties, I have a few do's and
(23:22):
don'ts if maybe our new parent, maybe you're maybe you're a
parent as old as I am. I don't know.
Hey, Harley. And Emily both have birthdays
coming up in the next several weeks.
Maybe you could use you could use a little of this advice.
Are you going to start if don't ever do a murder mystery at a
birthday party? No, that was a good one.
They loved that. They loved that that was Julia's
(23:43):
birthday in the summertime. All the kids love the murder.
Mystery they did. Yeah, they loved it.
OK, I only have. I've won.
Have any of them had any nightmares or is there any, you
know, issues at school? No, I well, not.
Very casual conversations and attitudes around murder.
We had a murder. Themed Kate Terrors?
No, no. Well, I I mean, not that I've
(24:05):
heard of. No missing knives from the kid
mothers. Not speaking to you anymore.
Welcome to I think. I haven't talked to a few of
them actually. I thought.
So maybe that is. Why?
All right. So sorry to introduce.
OK, so once we decided that thisparty was going to be at home,
Kendall and Julia went to work planning this party because
(24:26):
they're both very into planning that stuff.
Julia loves to use Canva. You know, the, the digital, the
editing, you know, design software.
They use it at school. So they made the the birthday
invitations themselves. Then they came up with games
that they could play and run themselves and they made a whole
(24:47):
scavenger hunt. Now I've got I have one do and I
have one don't. Well, all that sounds like a do
because they're dealing with it all and you don't have to do all
that. Perfect, so my one do is do have
an older sister who could be there to run the party for you.
Well, that's not always. That's my due.
That's not always possible, and that's what a waste of.
(25:08):
Hire a mother's helper or somebody you know who.
Could come and help get an oldersister.
Get an older sister who? Tells your husband to go get a
sister for your. Yeah, well, she has to be
willing because I don't think Harley is going to be willingly
running Emily's birthday party. Exactly.
There's nothing Julia loves morethan bossing little kids around.
Nothing she loves more. I wonder where she I wonder
(25:30):
where she gets that. From yeah, you know, no, I did
say to her, I said, OK, you can,she's like, I'm going to run the
games. I said, OK, you, you can run the
games, but you can't be bossy. And she looked at me as if I had
two heads like, why, why can't Ibe bossy?
And I said, you can't be bossy to them.
You have to run it like mommy would run it and say, OK, guys,
(25:52):
we're going to do this and you know, and just be nice about it.
And she's like, mom, why can't you know, she that's what she
was looking forward to the most is being bossy.
So I think there was a few timesat the party I had to tone her
down a little bit. And I was like Julia.
And she's like, what I just said.
I'm like, I know. But you know, all these little,
little kids are like, who is this?
(26:13):
Who is this big girl you know? So do set clear expectations
ahead of time. Clear.
Boundaries for the big sister that she can't be too bossy and
keep her in check while you're watching.
Now what they did was they created a scavenger hunt so that
the kids could come to the partyand we were going to do the
scavenger hunt first because theclues were around the house.
(26:34):
So if we didn't do it first, they would find the clues and
maybe, maybe they would go missing or be seen or whatever.
So we decided we're going to do the scavenger hunt 1st and what
they were hunting for was their treat bags.
And then we had some prizes thatcould be added to the treat bags
from other games after that. So we had the treat bags all
hidden in one spot. The kids all arrived and
(26:56):
immediately they start this scavenger hunt, which my kids
have spent, I kid you not, two months working on.
They blew through this thing in less than 5 minutes.
Of course, it was over. So Jeremy and I barely got back
into the kitchen from letting everybody in the door and the
scavenger Hunt's over and they're all into their treat
bags now. This is my don't don't give the
(27:18):
treat bags at the beginning of the party, especially if in the
treat bags. I was thinking that right away.
Why would you do? Don't you usually do that at the
end so that they're out the doorand not in your house?
Yeah, don't do that. And especially if in the treat
bags you have given them powdered sugar and other candy.
(27:39):
Yeah, that's not very smart. Because those kids will down
that sugar like it's a shot. Oh yeah, and run around your
house for the next 2 1/2 hours. Sure, And then you're going to
add cake on top of it. Yeah, I had to actually tell
them to stop eating all the candy because we were going to
have cake and they wouldn't fit it all in.
(28:00):
So much food and sugar right at the very beginning of the party.
No. Advice for Rachel?
Fucking get the treat bags. No one gives the treat bags at
the beginning of a birthday party.
Rage learned people. Lesson learned.
Another lesson I learned, just, you know, adding this in now
from another party, is don't putwhistles in the treat bags.
(28:22):
Ever. Who put the treat bags?
Together, that was a friend of mine that gave whistles to all
the children at another birthday.
And I said, and so just as a hottip.
Oh, so that you didn't do that bonus?
That wasn't me. Bonus, said bonus.
Do I can't? Believe that bonus don't.
I cannot believe anybody would. That's like, you know what,
(28:44):
let's hand out bagpipes to the kids.
All of a sudden I'm at this party and everybody's like, I'm
like, here's a great idea. Let's.
Give them, let's give them all kazoos.
Yeah, no, that'd be better than whistles, I'm telling you right
now. You know, we did the other day
we went, Emily, we run Emily to the park to meet up with her
friend Ben, who used to be our next door neighbor.
(29:06):
And they're great friends. They were born 2 days apart in
the Saint Thomas hospital. Yeah.
Yeah. So but for somehow Emily had
ended up with two recorders. Oh, God, the instrument.
And so she was repaired and had washed it to give Ben a recorder
at the park and his dad was thrilled.
Yeah, boy, he there's nothing more fun than the day a recorder
(29:27):
comes home from school. How's this week been, Jordan?
Let me know. Yeah, at our house, recorders
are basement toys. They're only allowed in the
basement. Anyway, those are my do's and
don'ts for a happy birthday party.
That's it. Enjoy.
Or just one do and, well, two don'ts.
You got a bonus 1 today. Yeah, do have a big sister Don't
(29:49):
give treat bags full of sugar atthe beginning of the party.
I was expecting more don't, so that sounds very successful.
Yeah, don't give a whistle is another one.
Well, yes, or. A recorder even don't give that.
Yeah, bagpipes. Don't give loud things or
banners. Flavors.
Don't do banjos accordions. I really know the parents.
I was like, I'm sending them home full of sugar but I think
(30:09):
they burned it off by the time all the parents pick them up.
So actually do send your kid to a party like that at Rachel's
house. Yeah.
So when they get home, they justhave a nap.
They're ready. They're comatose.
(30:44):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's a podcast. It's Dave, Rachel, informant.
It's almost over. But this is the point in the
podcast where we like to get your correspondence, read your
emails, your comments, whatever it is.
Don't forget we have a website, underwhelming.ca.
Go there, read our blogs, sponsor the show, buy us a
(31:06):
coffee, do whatever you want to do leave.
Us, a voice note. Yeah, sure.
Do. All of that.
I have. I have a little something here.
Normally, I don't get involved. I listen to you guys read this
stuff. But I got a message from someone
named Andrew that says me Fireball is giving away a
(31:26):
lifetime supply of whiskey. Oh, it was me.
Yeah. Oh, sorry.
Bad news for me, but good news for you about the Fireball.
If you were born in 1935 or earlier, you can enter online or
by mail through March 31st for ashot at winning.
Apparently it's a lifetime supply of Fireball whiskey if
(31:50):
you're 90 years old or older, which Foreman sent to me and
said not good for me, but good for you.
That's funny. Yeah, that's just.
Yeah. Oh my God.
What a riot, that's what a riot,what an absolute riot.
That's. Comedy right there.
Yeah, that. That is, I'm telling.
(32:13):
You right now that's high jinx. That's what that is.
So thank you for that. And at first I read it and I
went, I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me.
And then when I realized what you were trying to tell me, I
was like, well, never mind. The longer it takes, the more
accurate it is. Oh, my God.
Yeah. All right.
I have a bunch of emails. Thank you very much for all your
(32:35):
emails. That's not true.
OK, thank you for your emails. This week.
Anna Neufeldt has gotten back tous again.
She last time was on episode 48.Well, she's catching up now.
She's on episode 69. Nice, She says.
Anna says hi. Just finished episode 69.
If I'm at karaoke and people be singing my way and hello I'm
(32:58):
just going to leave because the book I'm reading is more
interesting than that. But I would love to see Rachel
perform Big butts lol and to talk about karaoke I.
Think it was your go to karaoke song because.
Yeah, I like there. Was some 50 year old woman who
did. Hello.
She wrapped the whole thing, butthere's nothing more bland than
A50 plus year old white woman rapping.
(33:22):
It just doesn't work. Because I think it.
Just doesn't. Work.
By the way, since you brought that up, I found our video from
13 years ago where you and I arerapping and that was for a
karaoke. Contest that we did.
You. Did you?
Wrapped the X-ray three I did. So that's A, at that point, a
young white woman rapping. Yeah, but you were good at it.
You knew what you were doing. You were a lot younger you.
(33:45):
We had you in the studio, you nailed it, and then you had to
do it to play next thing. Yeah, the lip.
Sync, yes. Anyway, she says.
Anna says. I also recently went to Costco
and hate it there. Foreman Normally I don't go, my
dad does the shopping, but my friends wanted to go.
I thought I'd tag along anyway. When we were there I thought I'd
see if I could find the tire section because Foreman
couldn't. I found it within 5 minutes of
(34:08):
being there. How the heck can you not find
it? Foreman?
It's right there in big letters.Yes, where the tires are.
Go to a different location, Anna, and it'll be in a
different spot. The doors are in a different
area, the signs are different. You know what we spent the other
day and I took my daughter with me.
She wanted to go for reasons I don't know at a busy time and we
were looking for mayonnaise and I'm texting my wife 15 minutes
(34:32):
before we figured out which mayonnaise was Canadian.
OK, some of them aren't. Yeah, which one is just so we
know. That I end up with Hellman's,
actually. OK.
So made in Canada, FYI. Good saved us 15 minutes.
Saves us some time, yeah. Yeah, the Kirkland, not so much.
Not so. OK.
All right. Yeah, listen, Anna, the
(34:53):
Dartmouth Costco and the HalifaxCostco are completely different
layouts. Shut up.
Yeah, that really messes with you.
It does mess with you. When the South end Costco was
new, it was a totally different layout from the old one, and
everybody was so confused for a long time.
But. They could.
They have the power to make it the same layout, but they chose
not to. They choose to confuse.
(35:14):
You. Yep, they want to mess with you,
actually. Enjoy.
It or actually go oh this is different.
I love it. But that's just me I guess.
You're sightseen in Costco. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he does. I do.
You are old enough for that Fireball giveaway.
No, I'm not. No, I've always.
I was doing that. That was long ago.
I I enjoy browsing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
(35:37):
OK. Dave talked about his furnace
recently and Lori wrote to us and she says my husband is a
furnace technician who has his own business in West rural
Elgin. He has so many stories of
customers and how they do stupidshit.
A lady called us a no joy hater for four days.
Her husband was going to go lookat the furnace and she got angry
(35:58):
and fed up with cold showers. Called this woman's husband
after deep inspection couldn't find anything wrong.
He pulled it out from the wall and it wasn't plugged in.
She was fuming. Another one, grandma was
babysitting and turned off the furnace.
Parents came home, grandma left,woke up to a cold house, moved
(36:18):
in with said grandma for a week,called someone else and waited.
When they didn't show up, they called this woman's husband.
He flipped the switch. Instant heat.
They moved out for a week because the switch.
Moved in with grandma and grandma doesn't remember turning
the. I don't know.
That. Why are you turning off someone
else's furnace? There's someone that needs the
fireball. Yeah.
(36:40):
You don't remember turning off the burn?
Who? Unplugs one for.
That I don't know how you unplug.
I don't even know how you do that.
I don't know. Wow.
Oh gosh. You remember the discovery my
mother made in the freezer, by the way?
Yes, breast milk, OK, from when Foreman was a baby.
Yeah, Foreman's breast milk, which is really off putting,
(37:05):
yes. It sure is, but popular because
we have a comment on TikTok fromIt's me saying I love that this
clip showed up on my 4U page. This episode was hilarious.
It's just been shocked to everyone.
It did make me. Laugh.
Tell your mom about that like. Not.
Not a single word yet. No, really.
OK, well maybe she hasn't made it to that episode.
(37:27):
I expect we'll hear from. Her.
I hope so. I hope so.
Too, I accept I got word that Ashley told my mom who told me,
which was supposed to be secret.Told you what?
And it came from a secret sourceof how I knew that information.
Now I know why you got the sandwich.
(37:49):
Why I'm never getting one ever again.
Yeah. That's right, there is.
A few other comments about this situation though from Steven who
said when I heard this on the podcast all I could think of is
the kid from grown-ups going mommy's milk.
I want mommy's milk. I forget.
Oh God, I don't really want to look that up now because it's my
(38:11):
mom. No, please don't.
Tammy clearly didn't because we put up a little video clip and
didn't reveal what was found so that you could come listen to us
here. Thank you for doing that.
But Tammy still bothered to leave us several comments of is
it horse meat? And that would be actually very
(38:32):
that would have been funny too. And then what?
Is it not in a very nice way? No.
No, I don't know. I don't.
Think your mom would like that? I mean, she's asking what is it?
And Deborah was asking what is it?
So you could, you know, eventually they'll listen to
this and they'll understand. I hope so.
Not a horse, me. No, not worth me.
(38:53):
No. OK, I have an e-mail from Bonnie
who says I was thinking about giving you a voice memo and then
you end it off with a clip of meback from the radio days, I
guess last week and I realized how much I hate my voice.
So e-mail it is. That's so.
Funny that that you knew that was you, Bonnie, and you're
still around. And thank you so much.
Yes, because I went through the archives and I found when we
(39:15):
were talking about pie or cake. Right.
And so. That's what she's writing to us
about. Exactly, Bonnie was saying how
she enjoys both and there's a time and place or both and
Rachel cut her off by saying no fence sitting pie or cake.
Anyway, Bonnie lives out in BC and she listens to us from way
(39:38):
out there and she she writes to us from time to time.
She says. Here's an update on the old pie
versus cake debate. I am definitely team cake.
I am no longer a fence sitter. Maybe it's something I've
learned as I age since you went deep into the archives for that
clip. It was probably 8 years ago.
What I did actually want to comment on was robot vacuums.
(39:59):
So she's team cake now. We're moving on to robot
splurged after we moved to BC and it's amazing.
We got a litter robot for our cats and wow it's even more of a
game changer than the vacuum. Never going back on that
purchase. Also, since you mentioned it
recently, I still miss Swiss Chalet.
I've only been in BC for about 6months.
(40:19):
I didn't realize BC didn't have Swiss chalet.
Right. Yeah, exactly.
And she told us that. Speaking of restaurants, Rachel,
I can't believe you chose The Keg when you said when you went
to Windsor. Windsor has so many amazing
restaurants that aren't pub foodyou could have picked from.
Thanks for always giving me something to listen to on my
long drives to and from work that isn't the staticky old
radio stations in northeastern BC.
(40:41):
Thank you, Bonnie. Bonnie, thank you.
Did go to The Keg. Yeah, of.
Course you did. Yeah, well, we went to another
restaurant the night before, but.
The casino restaurant. Yeah, but it was really good.
It was better than the keg, and that's a high standard.
By the way, Bonnie, that wasn't eight years ago.
That was 10 years ago, 10 years.August 24th, 20. 15 still team
(41:05):
pie and I'm going to get one of your elbows up chocolate pies
for me and I'll let you know. Yes, I have a flour mill, right?
Yes, beware. The hours for the Red River Cafe
differ from Arva Flour Mills, aswe both found out.
Yeah. They do close early getting one
I gotta get. One OK, all right, men are
feeling like $1,000,000 stacked up all $100 bills.
(41:28):
Got a whole 6 pack on ice, but I'm riding on the hottest wheels
deep back in a Purwin swerving. Put my pedal to the metal like I
gave her, turn it up and let thespeaker spin for Mr. Collins.
But I called him gave. Chilling on a dirt.
Road lean back swerving like them.
George Jones smoke rolling out the window and ice cold beer
(41:51):
sitting in the console. I'm turning up a real life
driver. That's right, I'm in the easy
street. I'm not.
Tired and enjoy the ride? That's right.
(42:12):
Mommy, I want some milk. Oh, sure, Angel, come here, give
me a little something. Slow down, honey.
Not such a big gob. You're going to get a tummy
ache.
CTV does a story though of the Jelly Roll gave that girl a car
and. Right, I didn't see.
That oh, it's cool. So I saw that girl.
I'm part of this group called 100 Women who Care now.
So we give $100 four times a year and and so she's from 519
Pursuit, which has been following us for years.
What you are seeing play out is the compassionate response of
(00:22):
Michelle Boiseno of 519 Pursuit.And they're like a grassroots
organization. They help homeless people. 519
Pursuit helped her, and so now she works for them.
So she spoke, and people were crying.
Well, blindfolded for the surprise, Michelle told the star
her story. Well Jelly.
I'll have three years sober April 25th.
(00:44):
I was a hardcore intravenous crystal meth user.
Touched Jelly Roll, who's battled his own addictions,
presented Michelle with the keysto a car.
Nobody more deserving than her. I think after hearing her speak
for 5 minutes she was amazing. If you could stand in front of
yourself at your darkest moment and say this day is coming, what
(01:06):
do you think that would mean to that person?
I would mean everything, right? Just to be able to tell myself
to like, hold on, that it's going to get better, that you
know you're loved and one day you're going to love yourself.
Hey, this is due to underwhelming demand.
(01:26):
It's the podcast that can now officially officially confirm
March 2025. Came in like a bit of a Dick and
went out like a real douchebag, yeah.
I mean, a Dick, yeah. Yeah.
Well, March. And by the way, it's very rare
for it to do that. You don't often hear, you know,
that's why Lion lamb. You don't hear Douchebag.
(01:48):
Dick. Douchebag.
Yeah, you don't hear that very often.
Usually. Not usually.
We're we're day Rachel. Look for him and on the podcast
today. Can a spontaneous gesture from
your partner come with no strings attached?
Can't wait for him. And that'll be fun.
Yeah, well, Rachel's got the do's and don'ts of a birthday
party. Kids birthday party.
(02:10):
Yeah, kids. Does that include murder
mysteries? I would assume.
I would assume. You'll find out does.
It include any do's at all, yeah.
And how about some good idea? Bad idea?
Haven't done that in a while. Look at that.
That's coming up on the podcast too.
But right now, hey, hats off to our sponsor Cabs for A cause.
(02:31):
Good idea to get a calf at the sale at the Canadian Dairy Expo
at the time of this release tomorrow night.
There you go. April 2nd April 2nd is the live
sale 7:00 in the We Cover Cow Coliseum in Stratford at the
Canadian Dairy Expo or online atdlms.ca if you want to check
(02:51):
that out. The live sale is April 2nd.
The frozen genetic sale you got one more day that closes April
3rd. That's online at Farmgate timed
auctions if you want to check that out there till April 3rd.
I know this comes out April first so.
The genetics sale is on right now, well, at 9:00 AM today on
the 1st, right? Yeah, and then closes on the
(03:11):
3rd. So you can check out the frozen
genetics index. The semen lots have been posted.
Well, I've been waiting. I had no idea the sailors were
in town. Well, a great sailors.
Yes, that's. Late week at the Dairy Expo.
Late. Week at the Canadian Dairy Expo.
(03:33):
That's what they should call it.Yeah, OK.
Great. Have we mentioned this is a
fundraiser for a Children's Hospital?
It is what it is, yes, I'm pretty sure how perfect is that
they get. Tired of all the semen jokes?
You know they do, yes, Children's Hospital, they've
raised, Daryl and Sarah Marcus have raised with Cavs for a cost
(03:55):
over $150,000, not including this year.
So this year, of course, we'll put them well over that.
I'm sure for Children's Hospitalhere at London Health Sciences
Center, which is an amazing hospital.
We know how much great work theydo.
So Congrats to the Cavs for A cause for raising all this
money. And you know, if you're in the
market for a calf or a pre calf,check out Cavs for A cause.
(04:19):
OK, a pre calf OK. Yeah.
It's amazing, an amazing gesturefor the entire dairy industry to
get behind this. Of course, yeah.
With a gesture from your partnerwithout strings attached.
You almost took me by surprise by that one with that one.
Good for you. Yeah, very well.
Done. Very clever.
Well done so. Imagine your significant other
(04:42):
does a spontaneous gesture just for you, out of the blue.
You weren't expecting it. It doesn't happen often, and
could it ever possibly be just the gesture or is there always
an ulterior motive? No strings, there's.
Always something that comes withit.
I don't think I can answer that for you.
(05:03):
I can't answer that for you and your and your partner.
Well, I don't know exact. I would have to know the
spontaneous gesture first. If my husband did a spontaneous
gesture for me, there would be no strings attached at that
moment until he wanted to throw it in my face later for whatever
(05:25):
dumb thing I did. He would do that to you.
Yeah, because in our house I'm the dad and he's the mom.
So we have very role reversal marriage here.
Gosh, Dave, Can you imagine hanging on to something to throw
it in her face later? You Can you imagine if that was
a world without? Response.
It doesn't. It doesn't work anywhere.
Absolutely it doesn't work. No, like it doesn't work.
(05:48):
I don't know. It works for him, but anyway.
You could hang on. She said something the other
night to me before we went to bed and I went really.
Really. You're blaming me for that?
No, I go to. Me to clarify, Jana.
No, no. Yeah, I think it over in bed
anyway. And so we're in the car the next
day. And I said, well, you know what
you said to me last night? No, just bring that.
(06:11):
And she was like, no, I don't remember saying that.
I'm like, OK, fine. Why did I hang on to that?
What's the point? There's no point.
No point. Look, and I don't want to get
myself in trouble by saying all this in the first place.
OK, she doesn't listen anyway, right?
Oh, OK. Well, I love you so much, I
would assume. We love you.
(06:31):
I would assume you're already introuble, as we get it.
You brought this up. You're already in trouble.
It's your fault. She's.
Listening. To this, I'm assuming this is
only my inner thoughts, my innersuspicions coming out, which
should never come out, and I know better.
But you got a podcast to do and you need content, so here we
are. So it's her fault for Out of the
(06:52):
Blue, very nicely, very spontaneously, very generously
making me a sandwich for lunch to bring to work.
Wow. Isn't that?
Lovely, yes. So, OK, this is something that
absolutely almost it never happens.
No. Okay, no, because Dave I think
(07:15):
had his lunch packed for him, didn't you?
Yeah, we don't. We don't pack each others
lunches at our house either. Well, yeah, but when we say that
it was a pack, it was carrots, celery and some almonds.
It wasn't. Washed.
Cut. Peeled.
I didn't do that. I would say that yes, I didn't
do that. I didn't do that.
You didn't do that. Thought of every day, anyway.
(07:37):
No. Oh my God.
It must be nice. It must.
Be nice. He never did.
He never did. It was made for you.
Put in a bag for me. She would put it in a bag on
Sunday there would be 5 bags andI'd throw it in my lunch every
day. I don't know.
OK, yes, but I was I never considered.
I'm with you for a minute, but we don't make each other's
(07:59):
lunches. That's it's you're an adult,
make your own goddamn lunch. If you don't, if you don't eat
lunch, don't eat lunch today. I don't have.
Friends who are floored that Jeremy even does everything he
does at home. You know, like he packs kids
lunches, he makes dinner. He like they're Lord that he
does that. Sometimes there will be a
provision, a provision from dinner.
(08:19):
Do you want this tomorrow for lunch?
And so it will be put on a platefor me to look, you know, it's
just a leftover, but for the most part.
On a plate, even. Wow, she yeah, she takes one of
the plates from dinner. And then packs it up.
And just puts is it? And up or do you have to do the
packing up? No.
Well, I might. I might do the.
(08:40):
Packing just Saran wrap in the fridge.
Yeah, it just depends on who's doing what side of the cleanup.
Right, OK. Yeah, that's how that.
Works anyway foreman have have at.
It, I mean, Ashley don't have tomake lunch because most of the
time she's working from home so she can make it at lunchtime
from the fridge at the time you're going to eat.
Right. Yes, same.
But yeah, normally I'll just grab whatever and make myself a
(09:03):
lunch. So this was spontaneous.
Very much welcome, very much appreciated, that's for sure.
But can't help shake the feelingthat there's like a series of
small tasks waiting for me at some point.
Because you're. Making dinner for the next three
nights, I can answer. That question for you in your
(09:26):
particular case, since it almostnever happens, then absolutely.
There are things in that. Now she may have done it for you
because she just loves you. She can't get enough of you,
but. Boy do I ever love her and can't
get enough of that. Exactly.
But I believe I do believe that literally never happens.
(09:49):
There may be a string or two attached.
Am I right? No, I think she probably just,
she was making sandwiches for the kids, maybe for layer
lunches and thought that is whathappened and make a third, you
know? But it was involved, there was
little. Foreman will enjoy this.
I would need to do sandwich. Foreman.
Put some lettuce and a tomato onthere.
(10:10):
There's a lot of ingredient. Next time he screws up I will
bring this up and throw it in his face.
She doesn't need anymore ammunition.
She's gone. So why are?
We even just known you for a long time.
I can confirm there are endless amounts of things you can find.
I don't even know why we're talking about this.
(10:31):
Because this conversation is yetanother Pull it in her chamber.
Now you're. You are right.
You are actually screwed now. You are.
Watch out. This is due to underwhelming
(11:00):
demand. It's a podcast.
The podcast That may seem like an April Fools stroke, but
sorry, it's not It's. We're still here.
Surprise, it's April Fools. Here we are a new episode.
It's. The real deal.
Whether you like it or not. We haven't done this for a while
and I I feel like I have a couple of things that I would
like to bring forward. So it's time for a good idea,
(11:21):
bad idea. It's time for another good idea,
bad idea. It's been a while since we've
done this, OK? Too, too long.
Yes. Well, I don't remember when we
did. This last well, when you're on
the radio every day, you're constantly looking for you'll
take any. If you have a bit called good
idea, bad idea, you'll throw anything in.
(11:43):
There. Sure.
Yeah. You know, like, we better find
something to do. Yeah.
But now we're, you know, we're alittle bit more picky.
So I came across a couple of things.
And because I didn't exactly know what to do with them, I
thought, well, it must be time for good.
Bad idea. That's what we'll do with it,
that's what. That segment is for and if
there's anything that comes up in your life, by the way, you
(12:04):
could always give us some ideas.What have you seen that just
blows your mind? You.
Have to get us is it or isn't ita good or a bad idea?
In your life, if there's a situation, is this situation a
good or a bad should I do this or not?
We're happy to give you all of our very strong opinions about
what we think you should do of. Course, of course, yeah.
(12:25):
All right. So there's an emerging trend of
people apparently and I, I am not aware that I've seen anybody
wearing these, but how would I know wearing sweatpant jeans?
And if you haven't seen. Sweatpant jeans.
Sweatpant jeans, certainly. Google it and you will see what
(12:46):
I'm talking about. They are literally sweatpants
that are made to look like denimjeans.
But they're sweat pant material.Yeah, they have a tie at the
like, they have a tie at the topand they're I think the trend
now is for baggier jeans anyway.They're probably short,
(13:09):
whatever, they're faded, but they do.
If you Google it Sweat Pant Jeans, you'll get an idea of
what I'm talking about. They do because I'm thinking
I've got pretty stretchy jeans. I mean they are technically
jeans maybe ish but they're quite.
I mean this. Is not like what I'm looking at.
This is pure sweat pour materialjeans with a denim wash to them
(13:35):
I guess. Yeah, but if you were wearing
something that covers, you know?The ones I'm looking at actually
look like real jeans. Yeah, they can't be, are they?
But if you cover the drawstrings, then you've got.
Once you look at the drawstring,you know that they're
sweatpants. Here's French Terry baggy jeans
from the Gap. OK, let's see.
So they're calling them French Terry Baggy.
(13:57):
Jeans, Terry, just. Sweatpants, folks.
That's it. There's sweatpants.
Yeah, there's sweatpants. The seams.
Seams like jeans and the pocketslike jeans.
Yes, you know what? I kind of like them actually.
I've taught you more. Good idea, yeah.
Look, I don't hate them. Foreman's right.
We've been already making sweatpant jeans for like 10
(14:20):
years. Yeah, they're stretchy.
Somewhere along the line, all the Jean manufacturers went.
Well, you know, what we should do is we should make people a
little bit more comfortable because people are, you know,
always saying, well, my jeans aren't that comfortable, no
tight or whatever. And the reason they're tight is
because, well, I've gotten a little bigger and all.
I think people just aren't wearing jeans.
(14:42):
After COVID, I think everybody got used to wearing comfy
clothes and I think fewer peopleare wearing jeans.
I haven't stopped but OK. Well, you haven't.
Stopped because you never you never even understood the
concept of hard pants. No, I didn't understand that
your. Lounge around the house.
Wear is stiff actual jeans. Yeah, I like.
Jeans. I think this just never made
(15:02):
sense. Bad idea.
I did that as a teenager. I wore jeans all the time, like
laying around the house all the time.
Now I'm in leggings. I'm in like joggers.
I you know, so I would go for. These I'm pants.
Look, no offense, I would go. I'm in the wall.
Sweatpants, but they look nice. I believe this and and you know,
you can get angry with me if youwant, but I believe that once
(15:23):
you've reached the stage where sweatpants are your, where
you're now wearing and we have reached that stage because kids
are wearing. Sweat.
They're cool. Everywhere.
Yeah. So once we start wearing
sweatpants everywhere, we've just basically given up.
Yeah. I don't know.
(15:44):
The styles will change, I think,but yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be
wearing them out. And I feel like if you've never
seen the movie, I always bring this up and I I don't know if
you guys have ever seen Wally. No, the Disney movie.
Have you seen not? Wally parts of it.
Yeah, The only reason that they're styled to look like
jeans is because people still have some sense of, like, self
(16:06):
respect, that they want to appear as though they're wearing
normal clothes. We still have that shred left.
We haven't lost it yet. Yeah.
Maybe. So I think we're just at a
magical time where utility and fashion are converging to give
us sweatpant jeans, and it's a win win.
Good idea. OK, but do.
(16:27):
You not see believe that you. Not see us taking the direction
of Wally where we all just sit in chairs and don't get up.
Is that what happens in Walling?Oh yeah, Humans turn into blobs.
They don't get up. The chairs move.
We never have to get up sitting.Is an epidemic.
Isn't that what they say sittingis a?
And therefore we would not require, we would not require
(16:48):
pants at that stage. So right.
I guess I. Guess we'll just sit around your
undies. Like the whole, the stretch,
whatever you call the stretchy thing, what do you call them?
I don't know what the drawstrings or whatever I'm
telling you right now. You know when I you know when
you're out walking, if you're ina mall, if there's so a lot of
people around, some of those stretch pants are really working
(17:08):
hard. I mean the leg, what I'm saying.
Yeah, I mean. They're pulling their own
weight, so to speak. Yeah, so to.
Yeah, I get that. Yeah.
So, you know, they're more comfortable.
I mean they're. Headed in this direction anyway,
so I'm. You say it's a bad idea.
Well, I just think it's. Sweatpant jeans.
(17:29):
Bad idea. Bad idea.
Yeah, sweatpants overall, I think we're about, I mean, it's
one thing to have your socks. What do you have their place I
feel like. You know.
I don't think they're a bad idea.
All the time. Yeah, I don't.
I'm not going out in sweatpants.If I'm sitting at home, I'm
probably in sweatpants. But you're suggesting these
sweatpant jeans are enabling sweatpants?
Jeans you can go out in because they're fancy.
(17:51):
Sweatpant tuxes. I think that.
Exists sweatpants throb, breaststhe next.
Idea. Bad idea.
Maybe we're over the line there.OK.
OK. All right.
So Foreman, you say it's a greattime to be alive.
And sure. You, Rachel.
Yeah. Yeah.
Bad. Idea.
Good idea. Good idea.
OK, all right, another good idea.
Bad idea. Olympic rowers at the upcoming,
(18:14):
and this is a long way off, 2032Summer Games.
They will be in Australia. Oh, Brisbane.
Yeah, I. Think the next Summer Games are
in LA Tariff town? That's right.
Anyway, Tariff. Town So this is not the next
Summer Games, but the ones after. 2032 OK the Olympic
rowers may have to compete in crocodile infested waters,
(18:38):
Australian officials now say no big deal.
Good idea. Great idea, Good or bad idea?
Genius idea? Great idea, make me row faster.
Rowing ratings will be sky high.Everyone will watch.
That is a sport. Do they tip over very often?
Not like when they're doing it, but.
(18:59):
Like, not usually. Not at that level, no.
I mean, as president of the Canoe Club, would you want a
canoe on a crocodile? But that's different.
Well, as a child when you canoe,you do tend to fall out a lot
because they're very skiddy and very tippy.
So for them, for teenage levels,absolutely not.
(19:20):
For listener level rowers and Chandlers, their Olympic.
Athlete. Go for it.
Good idea. Yes, these are.
These are the best of the best. Yes, why not?
No, I. Think This is why do they?
Have to be on a on water with crocodiles?
Like do they not have any water without crocodiles?
In Australia, do you hear yourself saying that out loud?
(19:40):
In Australia do they have any water without Crocs?
And if it didn't have Crocs, then it probably had sharks.
How do you swim in these things?What do you do to get away from
them? Well, don't swim in the river
Rachel, because it's crocodile infested.
Yes, I. Swim in the pool.
Don't have to tell me twice. You might want to go in the
pool. I anyway it's a very bad idea.
(20:01):
Bad idea. I'm in the pool.
I would be. What do you mean it's a bad
idea? That's I don't want to be a I
wouldn't be a rower on a crocodile infested water.
You wouldn't be a rower anyway. Point.
You asked me if I was if it was a good idea, bad idea.
I'm telling you, it's a bad idea.
Why is it a bad idea though? Why is I?
Want to do that? Well, you don't have.
(20:22):
To yes, I think the only people,the only people who have an
excuse to say it's a bad idea are the rowers themselves.
They're the only one really waiting.
It's a good idea. Absolutely.
Not necessarily, but you have tohave plenty of, you know, what's
your good reason for not wantingthese people to?
I don't want them to get eaten. Well, that's what I I don't want
them to get. Everyone you want to talk about
(20:45):
must see TV. We're talking the 2032 Summer
Games. Am I right?
They've armed everyone with at least one or two giant weapons.
So like, have at it, yes? I I mean I guess.
I don't know, Rachel. This.
I don't know how to fend off a croc.
Well, give you an OAR and you might figure it out.
(21:06):
It's the only thing I have. I guess I will, yes.
That's right, what just bit my oar.
Keep going, keep going, bastard.This is due to underwhelming
(21:31):
demand. It's Dave, Rachel Inform And
this is the podcast that's like snow in April.
No, not. Unwelcome.
Yeah, not very popular. A real motherfucker.
He well wouldn't go that far. I wouldn't that.
Podcast. That's a real motherfucker.
That's an MF. OK, you know what's also a real
(21:53):
motherfucker is putting on a child's birthday party.
I don't, I don't know whether I guess I could give you that one
only because. That is a good.
One, because it's true also. Yeah.
So my daughter Kendall, the youngest one, just turned 8 and
we had her birthday party on theweekend and it was at home with
(22:14):
10 children. So immediately whose?
Idea was. Bad idea.
Bad idea. Kendall's not mine.
What I wanted to say. Whose idea was it to let the 8
year old have the idea for the birthday party?
So it was her birthday. She was really into, she, she's
a big Swifty. So she wanted to have a Taylor
Swift themed birthday party which had to be at home.
(22:39):
And so I, I, I agreed eventuallywhat I wanted to do was and pay
for take all the kids out to go see the new Snow White movie
because it came out the day before her birthday.
Her birthday was March 22nd, which was a Saturday.
And so she got to have her partyon her birthday day, which is
(22:59):
unusual, but she didn't want to go see the movie.
I said I'll pay whatever the feeis so that we don't have to have
a birthday party at my house. But she wouldn't agree.
So her and her big sister now these are I've got some do's and
don'ts now after doing so many birthday parties for 12 years
now of 12 years of birthday parties, I have a few do's and
(23:22):
don'ts if maybe our new parent, maybe you're maybe you're a
parent as old as I am. I don't know.
Hey, Harley. And Emily both have birthdays
coming up in the next several weeks.
Maybe you could use you could use a little of this advice.
Are you going to start if don't ever do a murder mystery at a
birthday party? No, that was a good one.
They loved that. They loved that that was Julia's
(23:43):
birthday in the summertime. All the kids love the murder.
Mystery they did. Yeah, they loved it.
OK, I only have. I've won.
Have any of them had any nightmares or is there any, you
know, issues at school? No, I well, not.
Very casual conversations and attitudes around murder.
We had a murder. Themed Kate Terrors?
No, no. Well, I I mean, not that I've
(24:05):
heard of. No missing knives from the kid
mothers. Not speaking to you anymore.
Welcome to I think. I haven't talked to a few of
them actually. I thought.
So maybe that is. Why?
All right. So sorry to introduce.
OK, so once we decided that thisparty was going to be at home,
Kendall and Julia went to work planning this party because
(24:26):
they're both very into planning that stuff.
Julia loves to use Canva. You know, the, the digital, the
editing, you know, design software.
They use it at school. So they made the the birthday
invitations themselves. Then they came up with games
that they could play and run themselves and they made a whole
(24:47):
scavenger hunt. Now I've got I have one do and I
have one don't. Well, all that sounds like a do
because they're dealing with it all and you don't have to do all
that. Perfect, so my one do is do have
an older sister who could be there to run the party for you.
Well, that's not always. That's my due.
That's not always possible, and that's what a waste of.
(25:08):
Hire a mother's helper or somebody you know who.
Could come and help get an oldersister.
Get an older sister who? Tells your husband to go get a
sister for your. Yeah, well, she has to be
willing because I don't think Harley is going to be willingly
running Emily's birthday party. Exactly.
There's nothing Julia loves morethan bossing little kids around.
Nothing she loves more. I wonder where she I wonder
(25:30):
where she gets that. From yeah, you know, no, I did
say to her, I said, OK, you can,she's like, I'm going to run the
games. I said, OK, you, you can run the
games, but you can't be bossy. And she looked at me as if I had
two heads like, why, why can't Ibe bossy?
And I said, you can't be bossy to them.
You have to run it like mommy would run it and say, OK, guys,
(25:52):
we're going to do this and you know, and just be nice about it.
And she's like, mom, why can't you know, she that's what she
was looking forward to the most is being bossy.
So I think there was a few timesat the party I had to tone her
down a little bit. And I was like Julia.
And she's like, what I just said.
I'm like, I know. But you know, all these little,
little kids are like, who is this?
(26:13):
Who is this big girl you know? So do set clear expectations
ahead of time. Clear.
Boundaries for the big sister that she can't be too bossy and
keep her in check while you're watching.
Now what they did was they created a scavenger hunt so that
the kids could come to the partyand we were going to do the
scavenger hunt first because theclues were around the house.
(26:34):
So if we didn't do it first, they would find the clues and
maybe, maybe they would go missing or be seen or whatever.
So we decided we're going to do the scavenger hunt 1st and what
they were hunting for was their treat bags.
And then we had some prizes thatcould be added to the treat bags
from other games after that. So we had the treat bags all
hidden in one spot. The kids all arrived and
(26:56):
immediately they start this scavenger hunt, which my kids
have spent, I kid you not, two months working on.
They blew through this thing in less than 5 minutes.
Of course, it was over. So Jeremy and I barely got back
into the kitchen from letting everybody in the door and the
scavenger Hunt's over and they're all into their treat
bags now. This is my don't don't give the
(27:18):
treat bags at the beginning of the party, especially if in the
treat bags. I was thinking that right away.
Why would you do? Don't you usually do that at the
end so that they're out the doorand not in your house?
Yeah, don't do that. And especially if in the treat
bags you have given them powdered sugar and other candy.
(27:39):
Yeah, that's not very smart. Because those kids will down
that sugar like it's a shot. Oh yeah, and run around your
house for the next 2 1/2 hours. Sure, And then you're going to
add cake on top of it. Yeah, I had to actually tell
them to stop eating all the candy because we were going to
have cake and they wouldn't fit it all in.
(28:00):
So much food and sugar right at the very beginning of the party.
No. Advice for Rachel?
Fucking get the treat bags. No one gives the treat bags at
the beginning of a birthday party.
Rage learned people. Lesson learned.
Another lesson I learned, just, you know, adding this in now
from another party, is don't putwhistles in the treat bags.
(28:22):
Ever. Who put the treat bags?
Together, that was a friend of mine that gave whistles to all
the children at another birthday.
And I said, and so just as a hottip.
Oh, so that you didn't do that bonus?
That wasn't me. Bonus, said bonus.
Do I can't? Believe that bonus don't.
I cannot believe anybody would. That's like, you know what,
(28:44):
let's hand out bagpipes to the kids.
All of a sudden I'm at this party and everybody's like, I'm
like, here's a great idea. Let's.
Give them, let's give them all kazoos.
Yeah, no, that'd be better than whistles, I'm telling you right
now. You know, we did the other day
we went, Emily, we run Emily to the park to meet up with her
friend Ben, who used to be our next door neighbor.
(29:06):
And they're great friends. They were born 2 days apart in
the Saint Thomas hospital. Yeah.
Yeah. So but for somehow Emily had
ended up with two recorders. Oh, God, the instrument.
And so she was repaired and had washed it to give Ben a recorder
at the park and his dad was thrilled.
Yeah, boy, he there's nothing more fun than the day a recorder
(29:27):
comes home from school. How's this week been, Jordan?
Let me know. Yeah, at our house, recorders
are basement toys. They're only allowed in the
basement. Anyway, those are my do's and
don'ts for a happy birthday party.
That's it. Enjoy.
Or just one do and, well, two don'ts.
You got a bonus 1 today. Yeah, do have a big sister Don't
(29:49):
give treat bags full of sugar atthe beginning of the party.
I was expecting more don't, so that sounds very successful.
Yeah, don't give a whistle is another one.
Well, yes, or. A recorder even don't give that.
Yeah, bagpipes. Don't give loud things or
banners. Flavors.
Don't do banjos accordions. I really know the parents.
I was like, I'm sending them home full of sugar but I think
(30:09):
they burned it off by the time all the parents pick them up.
So actually do send your kid to a party like that at Rachel's
house. Yeah.
So when they get home, they justhave a nap.
They're ready. They're comatose.
(30:44):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's a podcast. It's Dave, Rachel, informant.
It's almost over. But this is the point in the
podcast where we like to get your correspondence, read your
emails, your comments, whatever it is.
Don't forget we have a website, underwhelming.ca.
Go there, read our blogs, sponsor the show, buy us a
(31:06):
coffee, do whatever you want to do leave.
Us, a voice note. Yeah, sure.
Do. All of that.
I have. I have a little something here.
Normally, I don't get involved. I listen to you guys read this
stuff. But I got a message from someone
named Andrew that says me Fireball is giving away a
(31:26):
lifetime supply of whiskey. Oh, it was me.
Yeah. Oh, sorry.
Bad news for me, but good news for you about the Fireball.
If you were born in 1935 or earlier, you can enter online or
by mail through March 31st for ashot at winning.
Apparently it's a lifetime supply of Fireball whiskey if
(31:50):
you're 90 years old or older, which Foreman sent to me and
said not good for me, but good for you.
That's funny. Yeah, that's just.
Yeah. Oh my God.
What a riot, that's what a riot,what an absolute riot.
That's. Comedy right there.
Yeah, that. That is, I'm telling.
(32:13):
You right now that's high jinx. That's what that is.
So thank you for that. And at first I read it and I
went, I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me.
And then when I realized what you were trying to tell me, I
was like, well, never mind. The longer it takes, the more
accurate it is. Oh, my God.
Yeah. All right.
I have a bunch of emails. Thank you very much for all your
(32:35):
emails. That's not true.
OK, thank you for your emails. This week.
Anna Neufeldt has gotten back tous again.
She last time was on episode 48.Well, she's catching up now.
She's on episode 69. Nice, She says.
Anna says hi. Just finished episode 69.
If I'm at karaoke and people be singing my way and hello I'm
(32:58):
just going to leave because the book I'm reading is more
interesting than that. But I would love to see Rachel
perform Big butts lol and to talk about karaoke I.
Think it was your go to karaoke song because.
Yeah, I like there. Was some 50 year old woman who
did. Hello.
She wrapped the whole thing, butthere's nothing more bland than
A50 plus year old white woman rapping.
(33:22):
It just doesn't work. Because I think it.
Just doesn't. Work.
By the way, since you brought that up, I found our video from
13 years ago where you and I arerapping and that was for a
karaoke. Contest that we did.
You. Did you?
Wrapped the X-ray three I did. So that's A, at that point, a
young white woman rapping. Yeah, but you were good at it.
You knew what you were doing. You were a lot younger you.
(33:45):
We had you in the studio, you nailed it, and then you had to
do it to play next thing. Yeah, the lip.
Sync, yes. Anyway, she says.
Anna says. I also recently went to Costco
and hate it there. Foreman Normally I don't go, my
dad does the shopping, but my friends wanted to go.
I thought I'd tag along anyway. When we were there I thought I'd
see if I could find the tire section because Foreman
couldn't. I found it within 5 minutes of
(34:08):
being there. How the heck can you not find
it? Foreman?
It's right there in big letters.Yes, where the tires are.
Go to a different location, Anna, and it'll be in a
different spot. The doors are in a different
area, the signs are different. You know what we spent the other
day and I took my daughter with me.
She wanted to go for reasons I don't know at a busy time and we
were looking for mayonnaise and I'm texting my wife 15 minutes
(34:32):
before we figured out which mayonnaise was Canadian.
OK, some of them aren't. Yeah, which one is just so we
know. That I end up with Hellman's,
actually. OK.
So made in Canada, FYI. Good saved us 15 minutes.
Saves us some time, yeah. Yeah, the Kirkland, not so much.
Not so. OK.
All right. Yeah, listen, Anna, the
(34:53):
Dartmouth Costco and the HalifaxCostco are completely different
layouts. Shut up.
Yeah, that really messes with you.
It does mess with you. When the South end Costco was
new, it was a totally different layout from the old one, and
everybody was so confused for a long time.
But. They could.
They have the power to make it the same layout, but they chose
not to. They choose to confuse.
(35:14):
You. Yep, they want to mess with you,
actually. Enjoy.
It or actually go oh this is different.
I love it. But that's just me I guess.
You're sightseen in Costco. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he does. I do.
You are old enough for that Fireball giveaway.
No, I'm not. No, I've always.
I was doing that. That was long ago.
I I enjoy browsing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
(35:37):
OK. Dave talked about his furnace
recently and Lori wrote to us and she says my husband is a
furnace technician who has his own business in West rural
Elgin. He has so many stories of
customers and how they do stupidshit.
A lady called us a no joy hater for four days.
Her husband was going to go lookat the furnace and she got angry
(35:58):
and fed up with cold showers. Called this woman's husband
after deep inspection couldn't find anything wrong.
He pulled it out from the wall and it wasn't plugged in.
She was fuming. Another one, grandma was
babysitting and turned off the furnace.
Parents came home, grandma left,woke up to a cold house, moved
(36:18):
in with said grandma for a week,called someone else and waited.
When they didn't show up, they called this woman's husband.
He flipped the switch. Instant heat.
They moved out for a week because the switch.
Moved in with grandma and grandma doesn't remember turning
the. I don't know.
That. Why are you turning off someone
else's furnace? There's someone that needs the
fireball. Yeah.
(36:40):
You don't remember turning off the burn?
Who? Unplugs one for.
That I don't know how you unplug.
I don't even know how you do that.
I don't know. Wow.
Oh gosh. You remember the discovery my
mother made in the freezer, by the way?
Yes, breast milk, OK, from when Foreman was a baby.
Yeah, Foreman's breast milk, which is really off putting,
(37:05):
yes. It sure is, but popular because
we have a comment on TikTok fromIt's me saying I love that this
clip showed up on my 4U page. This episode was hilarious.
It's just been shocked to everyone.
It did make me. Laugh.
Tell your mom about that like. Not.
Not a single word yet. No, really.
OK, well maybe she hasn't made it to that episode.
(37:27):
I expect we'll hear from. Her.
I hope so. I hope so.
Too, I accept I got word that Ashley told my mom who told me,
which was supposed to be secret.Told you what?
And it came from a secret sourceof how I knew that information.
Now I know why you got the sandwich.
(37:49):
Why I'm never getting one ever again.
Yeah. That's right, there is.
A few other comments about this situation though from Steven who
said when I heard this on the podcast all I could think of is
the kid from grown-ups going mommy's milk.
I want mommy's milk. I forget.
Oh God, I don't really want to look that up now because it's my
(38:11):
mom. No, please don't.
Tammy clearly didn't because we put up a little video clip and
didn't reveal what was found so that you could come listen to us
here. Thank you for doing that.
But Tammy still bothered to leave us several comments of is
it horse meat? And that would be actually very
(38:32):
that would have been funny too. And then what?
Is it not in a very nice way? No.
No, I don't know. I don't.
Think your mom would like that? I mean, she's asking what is it?
And Deborah was asking what is it?
So you could, you know, eventually they'll listen to
this and they'll understand. I hope so.
Not a horse, me. No, not worth me.
(38:53):
No. OK, I have an e-mail from Bonnie
who says I was thinking about giving you a voice memo and then
you end it off with a clip of meback from the radio days, I
guess last week and I realized how much I hate my voice.
So e-mail it is. That's so.
Funny that that you knew that was you, Bonnie, and you're
still around. And thank you so much.
Yes, because I went through the archives and I found when we
(39:15):
were talking about pie or cake. Right.
And so. That's what she's writing to us
about. Exactly, Bonnie was saying how
she enjoys both and there's a time and place or both and
Rachel cut her off by saying no fence sitting pie or cake.
Anyway, Bonnie lives out in BC and she listens to us from way
(39:38):
out there and she she writes to us from time to time.
She says. Here's an update on the old pie
versus cake debate. I am definitely team cake.
I am no longer a fence sitter. Maybe it's something I've
learned as I age since you went deep into the archives for that
clip. It was probably 8 years ago.
What I did actually want to comment on was robot vacuums.
(39:59):
So she's team cake now. We're moving on to robot
splurged after we moved to BC and it's amazing.
We got a litter robot for our cats and wow it's even more of a
game changer than the vacuum. Never going back on that
purchase. Also, since you mentioned it
recently, I still miss Swiss Chalet.
I've only been in BC for about 6months.
(40:19):
I didn't realize BC didn't have Swiss chalet.
Right. Yeah, exactly.
And she told us that. Speaking of restaurants, Rachel,
I can't believe you chose The Keg when you said when you went
to Windsor. Windsor has so many amazing
restaurants that aren't pub foodyou could have picked from.
Thanks for always giving me something to listen to on my
long drives to and from work that isn't the staticky old
radio stations in northeastern BC.
(40:41):
Thank you, Bonnie. Bonnie, thank you.
Did go to The Keg. Yeah, of.
Course you did. Yeah, well, we went to another
restaurant the night before, but.
The casino restaurant. Yeah, but it was really good.
It was better than the keg, and that's a high standard.
By the way, Bonnie, that wasn't eight years ago.
That was 10 years ago, 10 years.August 24th, 20. 15 still team
(41:05):
pie and I'm going to get one of your elbows up chocolate pies
for me and I'll let you know. Yes, I have a flour mill, right?
Yes, beware. The hours for the Red River Cafe
differ from Arva Flour Mills, aswe both found out.
Yeah. They do close early getting one
I gotta get. One OK, all right, men are
feeling like $1,000,000 stacked up all $100 bills.
(41:28):
Got a whole 6 pack on ice, but I'm riding on the hottest wheels
deep back in a Purwin swerving. Put my pedal to the metal like I
gave her, turn it up and let thespeaker spin for Mr. Collins.
But I called him gave. Chilling on a dirt.
Road lean back swerving like them.
George Jones smoke rolling out the window and ice cold beer
(41:51):
sitting in the console. I'm turning up a real life
driver. That's right, I'm in the easy
street. I'm not.
Tired and enjoy the ride? That's right.
(42:12):
Mommy, I want some milk. Oh, sure, Angel, come here, give
me a little something. Slow down, honey.
Not such a big gob. You're going to get a tummy
ache.
