Oh, she's got you nailed, man. Oh great.
She also sent pictures of you asa baby, so I thank her for that.
Right. Well, at least she saved those,
and not just the breast milk. This is due to underwhelming
(00:30):
Demand. The podcast with Dave, Rachel
and Foreman. That's just about as much fun as
doing your taxes. I mean, I think we're a little
more fun than that. Maybe less fun if you get a
refund though. It all depends.
It just all depends on how you look at it.
Coming up on the on the fun podcasts and fun.
(00:51):
It's doing your taxes. I have some headlines.

tooth fairy and they all have a meeting and they all I said what
I said they're called Yeah. OK, they're terrible movies.
Terrible. Well, this part isn't for kids.
OK, so if you are listening to this with a child, maybe don't.
(01:55):
Tell you what, kids will be yucking up that taxes joke.
Damn, that's funny, Dave. Thank you.

This is your warning, Yeah. You can just skip to the next
(02:17):
part, which is Foreman and his How to Win Friends and Influence
People's speech. So.
Yeah, kids office drama. That was a.
Speech. That's what kids love, yeah.
Office drama with Foreman OK, you should have that as a since
you're the only one going to an office.
That should be a new ongoing Office drama with Foreman.
What's what's happening? OK.
Well, that's what we'll call it now.
(02:37):
It was something else, but we'llcall it office drama with
Foreman. Yeah, OK.
All right. Anyway, back to me.
At Easter, we I had a conversation with my oldest
daughter, who, if you recall, atChristmas time, she asked me if
the Elf on the Shelf was real. And I told her no.
(03:00):
Yeah, we. So she found out that the Elf on
the Shelf was real because she said, I think you're the one
moving it, mom. And I said, yeah, you're.
Obviously. Yeah, so she, I mean, she's
going to be 12 this year and sheheld on for a good.
I knew she had her suspicions because for the last two years
she'd kind of asked me about Santa inadvert like I think
(03:22):
twice in one year. She said, and is Santa real?
And I was like, do you really want to know?
And she said no, no, I don't, you know, just.
And so I said, OK, so you can, that's fine.
And I guess. That's a good answer.
I mean, I don't know. I I just I.
If you didn't. Want to just say of course.
Well, I think I said of course the first time and then the
(03:43):
second time she asked me like a couple weeks later.
I said do you really want to know and she do you?
Really want to know. Is basically basically you.
Just said no, you told her. I know you told her she's still
asking, right? She's asked twice now.
So she's still what's the 1st? The first standby, I don't know,
I've never seen him. What do you think?
And. Deflect.
(04:03):
Deflect. Deflect.
Was 11 or 10 at the time, I don't know.
Anyway, you never seen him ask your dad.
Right. So this year, she didn't ask
about Santa, but she did ask about the Elf on the Shelf.
And she's like, I, I think I know.
And I said, yeah, you're right. And so the whole thing was, now
you're in on it, now you're in on the magic and you have to
(04:24):
help. So she really got into planning
out and moving the elf, which was fun for her, right?
So now I said it's still fun. She took her straight from
childhood. Fantasy pain in the ass hood.
Yeah. Absolutely.
That really is that. What a horrible thing to do.
OK all. Right, So on the Saturday before
Easter, she says to me, just theSaturday night, she's like, is
(04:47):
the Easter? She's like a minute mom, I got
something to ask you and she wasgoing to ask me and in front of
a bunch of kids and I was like, what are you?
And she's like, oh, I'll ask youlater.
I said, OK. And so then she asked me
privately later, Mom, is the Easter Bunny real?
And I said no. And she was like, OK, I thought
so. And then and then I can't
remember if it was during the same conversation or a little
(05:10):
bit later that same day, she said, is Santa real?
And I said no. I know.
I know she's like, well, like, well, we're on the topic, right?
She, she hasn't asked me about the tooth fairy yet.
And I wonder if she thinks if, if she knows they're not real,
maybe she won't get eggs or maybe she won't get presents
(05:31):
from Santa, right. So maybe that's why she didn't
want to ask for a for a little bit.
So then we were talking about about Santa and the Easter Bunny
not being real. And then she said, well, was
Santa ever real? Did he die?
And I was like, I think there was a Saint Nicholas that Santa
is based on, or I don't know. What's the guy in Europe is
(05:58):
there not not the scary one. Klaus.
Sinter, Klaus and whatever. Oh.
Geez, yeah, that what he says, Yes.
That's what he. Says pair Noel.
Pair Noel Pair Noel is the same Father Christmas.
So I said, I think there was a Saint Nicholas, that Santa.
Everyone gets from the first movie, that's right.
(06:18):
Sure, first and only one. Oh, the Santa Claus movie?
Yeah. Oh, she sure.
Yes. OK, that's right.
I didn't get that for a minute. I was like, what are you talking
about? So, so I said I think Santa was
real and like, not really Santa,but I think he's based on, you
know, Saint Nicholas. There was a patron of Saint,
(06:41):
right, Right. Doctor Kai Who was really kind
or something, I don't know. Does she have a like a tablet?
Yeah. Hey Alexa, does she know who is
Saint Nicholas? Does she know how to go on
Wikipedia? Yeah, I mean, she knows how to.
She could do that, but you know,you're going to ask your mom.
So she did. I told her no.
(07:01):
Was she based on? Actually, I think I said she
got. To look that up, yeah.
No, you don't know. Well, he's based on Saint
Nicholas, but I don't really know why or remember, like I'm
sure I read it at one point, which is how I know that I I
don't know. Anyway, so she knows about Santa
and the Easter Bunny now. So then I put her to bed that
Saturday. So the kids are in bed.
(07:22):
And then Jeremy and I have to sit down and fill all the
friggin eggs with, with chocolate, right?
Because we've got all the plastic eggs and we got to hide
them all. So she's still awake and she's
like, mom, I can hear you snapping the eggs together.
I know it's you. I said OK, now that, you know,
come on downstairs and watch us do it.
So she did. And she was the full on meal
(07:43):
deal there. Well, she was.
Like she's. Like, well, last year I saw you
hiding them and I was like, you did see me hiding.
That's right, you did. Well, I got.
I have to be. Honest busted all now.
When I was a kid, I think I was an avid believer in Santa Claus,
but I recall Easter was not. I wasn't buying that there was a
(08:06):
Bunny bringing I I never bought that.
I don't know. No, never did.
I don't understand. At the age of 12, I'm surprised
that she's finally going. Is there an Easter Bunny?
Cause really? Do you really think there's a
Bunny bringing? Well, I don't know if she ever
thought she, she did ask me thisweekend, like when this happened
this weekend, she said, well, were you ever going to tell me?
(08:28):
And I was like, no. No, she'll figure it out.
Yeah, but. You you realize how ridiculous
it is. I don't think we've had like we
similar to last Christmas too with with Harley who just turned
12. She knows about Santa.
She helps with Elf on the Shelf now for her sister who just
turned 8, which is super nice. I don't think either of them had
(08:49):
said anything about Easter though.
But we're not also showing them where we're hiding everything
either. Like, it's still even for
Harley, it's still a surprise togo and hunt and find all the
eggs, right? Don't use the plastic.
Just like, put the individual eggs around.
Why are you? I have so many.
Plastic buns because someone hasgiven us ton of the I just you
(09:12):
might as well use them. I don't know.
The chocolate's already egg shaped.
I think somewhere hidden in thisis you wanted her to find out.
You want this to be over with. You don't like putting together,
You don't like doing this. Do.
You. No, I like doing it.
No. You.
I like doing it. But I'm not very good at hiding
things because Jeremy will say you bring home a gift for me and
(09:34):
then you hide it, like under my coat.
Yeah. And I figure my coat.
And here's this. Like you.
Know you? Bought me like what the fuck
Rach? And I'm like, I know I'm
terrible at hiding things. Well, yeah, but you, you also
said you didn't want to do the Elf in the Shelf thing for years
because it was it was too much work and then you caved on that.
Yeah, Julia called me out on that too.
She's like, well, what happened?You told me that the elf was
(09:56):
allergic to our house. Yeah, let's.
See that's. A good one, I said.
Yeah, I lied. I feel like you why did.
You say that, I said I didn't want to have to do it.
I didn't want to have to have the Elf on the Shelf.
Yeah. Well, the.
Sooner I find out, the better, yeah.
Yeah, yes. Well, you should let your kids
listen to this and then they canfind out from Rachel as.
(10:19):
Well, yes, blame it on. Ruin it forever.
Everyone's life is easier, yeah.Because Rachel wanted them to
know anyway. So there you go,
(10:45):
this. Is due to underwhelming demand
with Dave, Rachel and Foreman. The podcast.
Yeah. It's sort of like when your team
loses a playoff game in overtime.
What's that like, Foreman? It sucks.
It kind of sucks, doesn't? It especially when the goal was
scored by the son of one of the players who used to be in the
same series who kept beating thesame team.
(11:06):
Hey. By the time this podcast comes
out, Foreman, it could be a different story.
We. All it'll be just like it'll be
a reverse sweep like the Kitchener Rangers just did to
start playing the London Knights.
They had to. They were down by three and won
four in a row. Look, all right, Yeah, I.
Even I know that because I did my London Free Press podcast on
that and I'm an athlete. I'm as a leaf player now.
(11:28):
Right, as a Leaf fan, not and, and not a, you know, a long.
I don't want to be one of those long-suffering Leaf fans, but as
a Leaf fan, I'm well aware that there is a long way to go, even
as we sit here so. He is not easily fooled.
No, not, not by this anyway. Foreman, let's get to you.
Foreman Got some office drama. Foreman So this news.
(11:51):
News segment gets. Called.
Office drama, Office drama, How much drama?
I mean, maybe there's some some people going off and talking
amongst themselves about the incident.
Oh, which the incident the. Incident now I like.
It sorry, how long have you beenworking for?
Like a week. Yeah.
(12:11):
Wow, OK. And boy, let me tell you, if you
like listening to dead air, Country 104 is the station for
you between 2:00 and 6:00 in theafternoon.
That bad? Thing you did not have dead air,
do you know that? I yes I'm aware of that and it's
getting better every day. Although every day I seem to
screw up different things instead.
Yeah, yeah. Well, we, we made a point of
(12:34):
your very first afternoon. My wife in particular really
wanted to hear you. We, we heard a couple of your.
I thought you did fine. I didn't hear anything.
I thought it was fine. I I couldn't tell.
So. See, the audience doesn't know
my. Goodness, thank good.
And my my new boss, the manager I report to, said that she does
(12:54):
not listen on the first day. She's gives her first day.
Oh good. Oh, that's good.
OK, good kind actually. Yeah, and but even though I mean
a crazy small world story that turns out she used to babysit
for Ashley's parents best friends in the middle of nowhere
Northern Ontario, where she grewup.
(13:17):
Oh wow. Oh, that's funny.
So you have a connection there that's not that's kind of neat,
yeah. Not even a radio connection?
That's cool. No, not at all.
Yeah. All right.
So there was this. There was a first all staff
meeting. Oh an all staff meeting I.
Was this the first time you met everybody?
Truly hated. I hated all staff meetings.
You hated all meetings? I hated all meetings.
(13:39):
Not even all. I didn't matter who was there.
Because an all staff meeting means I got to say hi to people
I don't even know. OK, it wasn't.
All staff. It was, it was, it was
announcers, hosts, other fellow hosts on radio.
Stations and there's a better. I used to usually.
The on air. Staff, I usually knew who they
were. Oh, that's a lot of talking, I.
Usually knew who the on air staff was, yeah.
(14:01):
But so there's four radio stations, so there's a lot of
people in this meeting. And I wasn't really scheduled to
late the night before, in my defense, but I knew that it
might be happening. It wasn't for sure.
So I arrived to the parking lot beside the building 15 minutes
before this meeting, right? Perfect, perfect.
(14:24):
I get out of the car, walk the two blocks up the street from
the parking lot to these downtown London towers, right?
And that said parking lot requires you to pay, but you can
do it on your phone. So as I'm arriving to the radio
station building, I'm pulling out my phone and thinking, all
(14:45):
right, I need to go through and pay for my parking today, only
to realize that that parking appsays the fee for that day will
be $100. What?
Yeah. $100 to park downtown London. $100.00 So the only
(15:07):
reasonable thing you can do is to turn around, walk back two
blocks and go have a chat with the parking attendant of.
Course, Sure. Was this your friend Lefty that
you'd called and he's supposed to set you up?
Turns out it was. Why is Lefty charging so much?
He doesn't know and there's two different QR codes you can scan
at this parking lot. Ones is $100 and ones is the
(15:29):
daily rate of seven. He doesn't know why while I'm
there, why don't I just pay him in cash and I'm good for the
day? Fine.
So I have to have that whole explanation, that whole
discussion, wait for him to fillout a little form.
I have to go back over to where my car is.
And back to. Now it's like, now it's all
ready. I have so many questions here.
Meeting. Time beginning beginning with
(15:51):
what you know. Why is he called Lefty?
I don't know. I hope he's right-handed.
I don't want to go down that road.
I'll let you go back So, so you're late so.
That was 35 minutes late for this meeting.
You're late for the meeting as the new guy.
Yes, late for the all staff all on air staff meeting as the new
(16:14):
guy. In person, it was like some
people on Zoom. It was like 95% in person.
And then to walk into the building where the radio
stations are, I have to go by the window to the boardroom
where everyone is to get rid of my stuff to then go back.
And they're in the middle of talking over yeah, on teams and
(16:35):
whatever. And they're all in there.
And I'm saying sorry and I have to explain this whole parking
scenario to. Everybody.
So you walked in and see idiots.I didn't want to pay $100 to
park my car. And they probably looked at you
like, well, you don't have to. Yeah.
What are you talking about? And like, the more you protest,
like he doth protest too much, because I feel like the more
your story has an explanation, the least likely it is to be
(16:58):
true. Yeah.
No one wants to see the guy coming late, and especially if
he's got a roundabout. Dumbass parking story.
What doesn't know what the Hell's going on?
Like, there's no chance anyone believed me.
And when I arrived, Dad, insult to injury, all chairs were
taken. So then I had to leave again to
go find a chair from somewhere else and roll it.
In Foreman. That's.
(17:20):
Did anyone say anything to you about that or was they just all
let that go? There's a lot of it was a lot of
what I would have done if I werealready in there just.
Right. Basically not acknowledging and
you know, just that slight. Look away.
Turn of the head, look away like.
This is. New guy, don't know what he's
doing. Yeah, this is the guy we brought
(17:42):
on. Yeah, that.
Guy. You hired that dude.
Bad for you? Couple things for you.
For me, no, that's not an impressive way to begin.
No, a couple things I need from you in the future.
It's it's imperative in future episodes of this podcast that we
find out why he's called Lefty. We have to find.
That, yes, we need to know why, yeah.
(18:02):
Well, I have to go back to him to pay him cash for the for a
monthly right now, at least to him and I figured that one out.
OK, well then, so you found him in person?
Was it the first time you'd seenhim in person?
And he's, again, he's a very distinctive voice.
So his voice on the phone was exactly the guy in the booth.
OK. Oh, I see.
OK, Yeah. Well, how many?
(18:22):
Yeah, well, Lefty kind of. Sounds like a whisper.
Yeah. Oh, it's a.
Ground lefty operate parking lots.
Come on. I mean.
Well, I mean, that's either thator a tow truck I feel like.
Maybe a lot. He could be.
He could be operating a tow truck.
You're right, never thought of that.
But he can only either run a parking lot or a tow truck.
(18:43):
That's right. Or the other.
And that's his whole destiny. Yeah.
I don't know about that. That's.
It. That's it.
Yeah, that's. It no, no, I think Lefty could
be involved in all kinds of things.
I'm sorry, you know, like, have you never watched Law and Order?
And you think, well, I mean, these are lefty?
Was lefty was involved lefty? Was there?
I watched Breaking Bad, he mightbe on that show too.
(19:04):
I need to see a picture of Lefty.
I don't care if he shows. Take a picture of.
Tomorrow when you. Go back and be like can I?
Don't. Why is that going to ruin the
mystery of the whole thing? I'm going to slowly drive by his
boots and just say hello with myphone.
I. Just I just feel there's some
inherent danger in trying to get.
There's a picture of Lefty the parking.
(19:24):
Parking lot. Guru, come on.
Convert. Maybe he's covert.
He's underground. Second thing you need to do for
him and is find the back entrance into that radio station
and I know where it is because Iwork.
There there, but that there's parking.
Lot of the building. There's one of the back
entrances. Beside the boardroom?
Well, you gotta find a differentway in yes.
Oh, the walk in entrance I see element the.
(19:46):
Parking way in, then you can walk in and go.
Oh, I thought it was at 10:15, right?
That's when I arrived. Not on the hour, that's.
Right. Why would it start at 10?
And then me and one of the promotion guys both are going to
the bathroom at the same time and I get to the sink 1st and I
jam up the paper towel machine and left it.
(20:08):
OK, you're. You really are influencing
people. Well done.
(20:32):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
The podcast that, unlike a fine wine, somehow doesn't get any
better with age. No, I've worked with you guys
for a long time and I'm not better.
No. So.
I have nothing really to say about that.
(20:53):
I that's a. Loaded a loaded commentary.
Very much just, I'll just let that hang there.
I mean, I, I don't know what to say about that.
Someone's driving somebody's game down anyway, Doesn't
matter. We are Dave Rachel of Foreman.
It's time for headlines. Foreman constantly sends me
(21:16):
headlines. Only someone was propping up
this bit. Yes, and entertains the crap out
of me. That's right because I send them
over time as I see them on a daily basis and I just send them
blindly and I don't remember what any of them are.
I know there was 1 today though that I sent that.
I burst out laughing sitting at my desk.
I don't know whether I got that after said just office meeting.
(21:37):
Foreman, thank you for sending me headlines.
Thanks to anybody that sends headlines, especially like these
are real headlines. I don't make them up.
And people that send them to me don't make them up.
Thank you, Debbie Gandon for sending me this one.
Here we go. Trump reverses Biden rule on
shower heads that made it harderto wash his quote, beautiful
(21:58):
hair. What?
Headlines. Shower heads.
Yeah, I think the president believes that, that there's
less. There probably is, isn't there?
I don't know. Shower heads were made.
Like low flow maybe? Yeah, low flow.
I could. Oh, I see.
Talking about well then just geta Reg flow.
(22:19):
Yeah, Biden shower head I have. To reverse the whole law.
You know a federal law? No, I.
Don't know, isn't it? I have no idea.
Thanks Debbie for sending that. Here we go.
These are kind of a couple of local headlines.
Well, driver hits light pole andthen still goes through Tim
Horton's drive through. That's an actual headline.
Do what you got to do. They haven't had their coffee
(22:41):
yet, obviously. I need my coffee.
You need that I need otherwise you can't go around hitting
light poles all day. Just one learned your lesson.
There's a lot of headlines from Guelph like when you look into
it. Yeah, here's another one as a.
Rather like Norwich. Here's another one.
Yeah, or what is it, Norfolk? Norfolk, Norwich, whatever.
Driver tries to hide from policeunder kitchen sink.
(23:07):
They must be teeny tiny. Real headlines.
Look in the cabinet under your sink.
Yeah, jam yourself in there. That's not a huge space.
No, it's not a. That's why.
That's why you would think no one will look there.
Sure. Yeah, that's fair.
Yeah, that OK. Fair enough.
Turns out police police do look no stone unturned.
(23:27):
Sure, Guelph Police. That's right, absolutely.
Right Guelph Police Montreal manticketed after his parking spot
was turned into a bus stop. That seems unfair.
Headlines. Yes, it was overnight.
That is unfair it. Is unfair.
His parking spot is now yes. What a way to find out.
(23:49):
In the evening, not a bus stop. Got up.
In the morning was a bus stop. Got a ticket?
Yeah, what a Dick move by the city.
Headlines from around the world Church in England trying to
attract new converts by hosting pro wrestling Wait work.
That's an actual headline. OK.
Mike, I doubt it. Fun fact, here's an offside
(24:12):
start. Fun fact.
I once went to a local wrestlingmatch put on by the pastor of a
church. Yes, and he was in fact one of
the wrestlers. We didn't stay.
We need to. We need to explore.
The other Yeah. I think I would like to know
more about that. Absolutely your your friend
Lefty the pastor, we would like that.
(24:35):
I would like to learn more about.
He didn't know the pastor, but it was the whole it was a town
thing anyway, pretty. Sure, his name was left.
So I essentially went to a church wrestling match, OK.
Well, that makes the headline less funny.
What I. Thought that added to it.
Yeah, OK. Thank you Forman there.
We go fake Maple syrup could flood the US thanks to tariffs.
(24:59):
Oh. Real headlines.
They're really in for it now. That's too bad.
They're really in for it now. That's really too bad.
Yeah, you got to have it down there.
You need the real stuff. Indonesian man follows Google
Maps directions and flies car off unfinished bridge, somehow
escapes without serious injury. Oh my God.
(25:20):
Headlines. How didn't he die?
Well, apparently Google Maps is a habit of not necessarily
knowing that bridges aren't finished.
Why is it not the map if it's not done?
Yeah, well, it's a new dealer. It's just, it's not all.
There yet? It's just not all there.
Google hasn't driven its little car down that bridge yet.
Apparently not. Yeah, but what about all the
(25:41):
pylons and shit? You would think.
You would think, you would thinkyou'd see that.
It's clearly Google Maps's fault.
Right. Yeah, Memphis anti violence
meeting ends with one dead and five injured.
That's not funny. That's an actual headline.
That's not funny at all, Foreman, why are you?
Laughing there's. Nothing funny.
(26:03):
About that was. That was really something.
Something ironic about it, but I.
Don't know how, right? That's not not really a knee
slapper, you know what I mean? Very unfortunate.
Yeah, it is unfortunate, Nevada,man.
Or is it Nevada, Nevada. Nevada?
Tomato. Tomato.

I used to listen to Foreman on the radio when he was on Hot

Country One. O35I live streamed his show here
in Australia. What?
Then he just disappeared. So great to hear he's back on

Canada and live stream. But will he find us here?
That's the question for David. OK, so he's all right, David.

and I'm pumped to have so many episodes to catch up on.
(37:35):
Rachel, your recent tales of hockey adventures have had me in
stitches, resulting in many be ajudgmental stare from the
cutthroat teens in the neighborhood as they pass me on
their E bikes. Speaking briefly of teens and
their E bikes, I feel like they look like a biker gang, but all
I can picture is my grandma on her mobility device Scooter.
(37:57):
You guys are great. Thank you and keep them coming.
Well, thank you very much. I'm glad you found us.
I'm glad you found us. That's amazing.
Dave Powery, who listens to us and all the time he says so.
Was the rabbit suit the final straw at at Heart FM?
Well, the rabbit suit was the final straw for you at Heart FM.
(38:18):
Congratulations, Foreman, on thenew gig at Country One O 4.
Yes, I had secretly hoped that maybe I would be able to escape
there without wearing that cock costume, but but I did not.
You didn't and turns out in other messages from Dave Powery
that he works at Mikes Electric in Woodstock, which is one of
the workplaces I visited while wearing the rabbit suit.
(38:40):
But he wasn't there that day. I didn't and I didn't know that
and he obviously wasn't there. So just missed you, Dave, just.
Missed you Dave, too. Bad.
That's too bad, Joanne says. Lol Oh Foreman, your voice was
the highest pitched I have ever heard in that podcast about your
daughter's crappy lunch. So funny.
(39:00):
It wasn't funny, it was a good luck.
According to your daughter, it was very bad.
And by the way, country one O 4 has been my preferred country
station since the three of you left.
The other London unmentioned one.
Congratulations. Thank you, Joanne.
Thank you. I hope.
Yeah, I hope. Thank you for listening.
I hope everyone listens to Foreman.
He does a great show. So there you go. 2:00 to 6:00
(39:21):
every day, right? Two to six.
Six. Yeah.
OK. And now the moment we've all
been waiting for. Drum roll please.
We're at a time. An e-mail from Foreman's mom.
Dear Dave, Rachel and Foreman. Get ready.
Buckle up. OK, is.
This a long one. Yeah, it's long and it's worth
it. I promise.
(39:41):
This is titled the Frozen BreastMilk Saga.
Dear Dave, Rachel and Foreman, the 40 year old frozen breast
Milk Saga has had its milk run and all good things must come to
an end. There is no point in crying over
frozen milk. Why would anyone knowingly keep
breast milk in their freezer forso long, you may ask?
Yes, I have been asking that. We had a 1959 chest freezer that
(40:05):
survived the move to our home that was built the same year
Foreman was born. His name wasn't Foreman back
then being it. Isn't now, but yeah.
Well, it is to me being a typical mom.
I froze breast milk in case I was needed by a babysitter.
Foreman was a colicky baby. I can't imagine and could eat
nothing other than breast milk until he was 11 months old,
(40:29):
which meant he was an early talker given his muscular cheeks
an asset in his broadcasting career.
Your mom is hilarious for her and I love her.
The 1959 freezer had quite a permanent thick rim of frost
around the top as it was not theself defrosting variety and it
(40:51):
was a chest freezer so things got buried in the bottom.
In 2013, thanks to a government incentive program to round up
and replace inefficient freezers, we replaced the still
working 54 year old chest freezer with an upright Energy
Star compliant freezer. The frozen best milk was
discovered in the bottom and I couldn't bring myself to discard
it along with other ancient frozen items Forman has so
(41:13):
publicly described. I've only had So you've found
it. No, it's not.
Your turn. It was.
It's your. Turn.
And still moved it to a new freezer anyway.
Yes, my excuse for keeping it was that perhaps one day a
bioengineering student may be interested in studying the
(41:34):
content of the breast milk for contaminants that make for
contaminants that may have been in the environment in 198085.
For example, the forever PFAS plastics.
PFAS, I don't know. So it still sits in my freezer
in a Playtex nurser bottle afterall this in a Playtex nurser
(41:56):
bottle, I think. I'm not sure as I haven't laid
eyes on it for a long time. It's a part of my legacy that my
kids will have to deal with whenI'm gone.
At least it's not a frozen placenta or a frozen family pet
cat dog. No, it is not.
No, it is not. Please see the attached photos
of a chubby cheeked one year oldforeman and his dad.
(42:17):
He said photos of you, which I'mdefinitely posting.
Oh yeah, they're pretty funny. They are funny.
She said of the other. She says there's other photos of
the highly paid Intel agent who gave Foreman the story.
The one photo shows the full on freckleface of the now mother of
two teenagers and the other photo shows the perp in
(42:39):
undercover attire. I know who you are.
Expect payback in the near future.
I also know. Pissed.
Fed you the Intel in the 1st place.
You will not be spared. Love Foreman's mom.
She is. Just my full day.
Absolutely the best. My entire day.
That's that's just amazing. Yes, that's amazing.
(43:00):
She's a great writer. She saved that breast milk to
find, I think, to find out what the hell is wrong with you.
Yeah, just get it analyzed and find out why he is the way he
is. That's what it is.
Yeah, get it analyzed, you know,1.
Picture, just for the record here of myself and my two
sisters, obviously at the Sears Portrait Studio.
(43:22):
Yes. Your cheeks all.
Three of us have puffy red cheeks.
You're all of us. You have the biggest chubby
cheeks that are just so pinchable.

Well, dressed like I'm ready to go to a cocktail party on a
yacht. I feel like you're wearing a
Lacoste polo. I think that's the little Gator.
I think so. That's a fancy baby.
That's the best. That's the best.
(44:03):
You're saving money on formula. You can buy fancy clothes.
OK, pictures will be posted. Thanks Forman.
Your mom's the best. I love her.
Thank you, Kathy.
