(00:00):
How did you know? Outside the Woodstocker, St.
Thomas and Foreman wasn't telling.
Telling. Stuff.
Well, if he had his shirt off, it would have been Saint Thomas.
Shirt was off, it would be the same time.
Or Tilsenburg, Yeah. Oh yeah, those pants would have
been off in Tilsenburg. This is due to underwhelming
(00:24):
demand. The podcast with Dave, Rachel
and Forum. And this is the podcast.
It's sort of like spending over $300.00 for a 12 foot tall
Halloween decoration to put on your front lawn.
You know, it's kind of dumb. The big skeleton.
But if it gives you some joy, who cares?
And that's our podcast. Sure.
(00:47):
Kind of dumb. It's kind of dumb, but it brings
you joy. Yeah, who cares?
And once again, it's and it's brought to you, this fine
podcast is brought you by no one.
So if you do care about keeping the podcast alive, sure, feel
free to get in touch with us. And don't give Home Depot
$400.00 for that skeleton. Give it to us, right?
(01:09):
That's. Right, we will bring you joy
year round, not just on Halloween.
That's right. What about us or the?
Skeleton. You can put a Santa hat on.
You can dress like a leprechaun.You can give it a Canadian flag.
We'll do. Whatever you need coming up on
this podcast, this fine unsponsored podcast, Yeah.
(01:30):
A little good idea, bad idea. Rachel is going to play good
Thanksgiving or not. Yes.
Or I feel or else titled would she Thanksgiving.
No, if yeah. But if you're asking is this a
good Thanksgiving or not, I'm already going to say probably
not. OK, or?
You lean or not? It's not about me and in fact
(01:52):
it's about a stranger and it's just a new game that I thought
we could play today. It just feels like if you're
asking the question, the answer is probably not.
Well, I mean it all right? You don't know yet.
You don't, but. Especially when it's a stranger,
it's a lot easier to judge. So that leans even heavier.
Not the. Stranger, I don't even know who
(02:13):
they are, but they. Exactly.
We're not playing that till later, even though we just
started to play a little bit. Sure.
I think we're just playing with is, is the title a good good.
Thanksgiving or not or Happy Thanksgiving?
Whatever. All right.
And Foreman, what do you got? I have a happy Halloween.
(02:37):
We love the holidays here. It.
Might do your happiness at Halloween Might depend on how
early you've bought your candy to give out to trick or
treaters. Oh, because the average family
that stocks up on candy early will eat their way through the
entire stash. Yeah.
(02:59):
Not once. Yeah.
But twice. Oh come on, this is the.
Average family. Really.
This is why they start selling it so early in August.
Why? I don't know.
Because we can't help ourselves.That's we.
Can't help ourselves. It's in the house.
Yes, you can't help yourself. But why would you buy?
Your favorite kind? Why?
(03:20):
Because if you don't need it. Well, that's a good well you
need. It you were going to give it
out, so then you have to restockbefore Halloween, right?
You were. Just going to save it.
It was going to stay in the closet, unseen, out of sight,
out of mind. But it's never really out of
mind now, is it? No.
Come on, let's get right down tobasics here.
If you're a smart family like mine, we wait for it to go on
(03:41):
sale. So you buy it at the after
Halloween? No, no, no.
Usually be sitting there since November last year.
Well, it doesn't matter because it's if, if, if in fact you're
worried about whether it's staleor not.
It's been in stores since, I don't know, the end of July,
beginning of August. Oh yeah, that's are you really
worried about it going back? No, it's fine.
(04:02):
No, I'm not worried about like little chocolate bars.
It's the hard candies. No gummies.
No. Well, anyway, all I'm suggesting
to you is it will go on sale because stores have way too much
of it. Correct?
It will go on sale When's? The sweet spot of the sale
because it goes out and then we're like, oh, Halloween,
candy's out, I better get it. The trouble is if you wait too
(04:24):
long it's hard to get good stuff.
You're forced to just hand out rockets which everyone knows are
shit. Never handing out rockets I'd
rather hand out. That's people who do waited till
the last minute. They waited till the 30th or
31st. Just give their candy.
Just give the kids loonies for God's sake.
Know what no kid has ever wanted?
Plain old Dutch chips Get out. Wow.
(04:49):
Yeah, and they're teamed, I mean.
They have 5 chips inside. Ripples and old Dutch, but the.
Lasers are the same. Yeah, half of them are green.
Nobody wants any of those They. Are green.
You're so right, yeah. Yeah.
All right. Let me ask a question then,
because we we have not bought it.
I mean, as we record this, it's post Thanksgiving and Halloween,
(05:15):
Yeah, Halloween, but it's not very far away.
Who's bought Halloween candy? Yes.
We have we have two boxes of the130 things from the Nestle box.
So that's what Smarties Boo Kit Kat, Arrow and Coffee Crisp.
Those are unopened right now. OK, good for you.
(05:37):
Those ones are unopened, however.
No, we haven't bought any 'causeI know that we'll eat them.
The box of 140 Mars Peanut, M&M's, Snickers and Twix.
Mysteriously, you can just lift the flap parked in the back of
the pantry. That's weird.
Behind the other boxes. That's weird.
It must have just arrived already opened by.
(06:01):
Mistake. Pretty much everything's already
gone except the Twix. No, they're.
Good. Nobody likes.
Twix. Nobody likes Twix.
I like Twix. Nobody likes Twix, no.
I do. And the Snickers.
By the way, Twix is the Snickersare not chocolate bars anymore.
I'll have you know they're little squares.
Oh, that's bullshit. How do I know that?
(06:22):
Because we have to go stock up again.
Well, that's the thing, they're little squares now, so you have
to eat more of them. I did not open these.
Harley and Ashley came home after a Costco trip I believe
with these and somehow in the car ride home this box ended up
being opened and since then likea week ago it's been pretty much
(06:43):
empty. Empty.
So my stepdad and mom bought, mystepdad bought the, bought
candy, Halloween candy probably 2 weeks ago.
And my mom said to him, why are we buying we're, why are we
buying that so early? We're, we're just going to eat
it. And he's like, well, that's the
fun of it. That's the fun of it.
That's the fun of it, to eat it before Halloween.
(07:06):
Yeah, well, they're not trick ortreating.
They don't get candy. They wouldn't get candy
otherwise. He's like, the fun of it is
having it around and eating it. Of course you want to eat it
before Halloween. He has no, no shame in doing
that. So it's fine with him.
Oh, OK, that's. More later.
He doesn't even care. That's this whole modus operandi
that he just buys it and and doesn't see we we will maybe.
(07:26):
You're doing it on purpose. We always buy full bars.
We don't deal in the. Little cause not all of us live
north of Anshaw well. No, I just can.
Just you can. Get them right now, they're on
sale at Costco. That doesn't mean that they're
still more expensive than they. Used 18 in a pack.
I've got like 300 kids that cometo my house in.
This economy must be very nice. No, I don't get 300.
(07:47):
Kids. With tariffs come.
On. Oh stop.
It must be nice. It must be nice.
Stop your whining. China's best friend Bunch of.
Whiners. What a whiner.
What a whiner. Trick or treating at Dave's
house? Yeah, like for Halloween, I'm
here for my chocolate bar. You should.
(08:09):
I think they're on sale, so we'll buy a couple at Costco and
there you go, kids have. AI mustn't get a ton then.
No, we tend to get a lot of kids.
Get a lot of kids here I think cuz word spreads.
Yes. Yes, this is.
The house that Oh, absolutely itdoes.
Yeah, word spreads. When there's a house in our
neighborhood that's chocolate like full size everybody as soon
(08:30):
as you see your friend on the street, which is every 3rd.
Person you know they're going torun out guess.
What? They've got that?
Yeah, the house over there has got big chocolate bars, right?
And one year it was a lady kind of at the end of the street that
didn't get a lot of traffic. So by the time we got there, she
gave each kid 2. There you go.
See. Good deal, good deal.
That's amazing. That's This is why you got to go
to every house. Yes.
(08:51):
Absolutely. I think this is like we've, and
we've talked about the season before, It's stuff your face.
Season starts with Thanksgiving,yes, And then the good is to
carry it on with the candy for Halloween.
And that's why we have to restock once or twice as an
average family. But it doesn't stop all winter.
We're like fucking grizzly bearsin hibernation.
(09:12):
We say it's Thanksgiving, it's Halloween candy.
Then you stuff your face for more Christmas and there's all
kinds of chocolates and all thatsame nonsense at Christmas, just
in different shapes. Then you're right into
Valentine's. Different shapes of the same
damn candy. Yeah.
Then. Easter different shapes of the
same damn. Candy then, and then it's summer
(09:32):
and you go, oh, look what? Happened to my summer body.
Yeah, how am I going to sit by the pool looking like this?
Uh huh. Looking like Jabba the Hutt.
Give me a different shape of Reese's Pieces.
You spend all summer trying to do something about it, and then
at Thanksgiving hits and we're fucked.
Yeah. I look like all shapes of the
Reese's Pieces now. I wouldn't reach for a chocolate
(09:54):
bar, it's just not my thing. Chips I could I They could be in
front of me and I don't care. Well, since I discovered this
box being open, the reason that all the peanut M&M's are gone
are because of me. So oh.
OK, there you go. I don't want to really do it.
That was the. Part of it, Foreman.
Yeah, we have a thing here called the Wrath of Jana, and
both Charlotte and I are aware of it.
(10:16):
So no, we're not. You're not sneaking any candy.
That doesn't happen that that the Collins is.
Right. Does she parade you down Fanshaw
Park Rd. with a bell and say shame?
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.
(10:44):
Listen to the Underwhelming Demand, the podcast that the
more discerning trick or treaters are dressing as this
year. Boy, that's sad.
I don't even really know what that means, but it just sounded
good to me. I have no idea it just so I
apologize. Remember one year somebody
actually did dress as you. No, me and Lindsay from the
(11:05):
radio. Remember Lindsay used to be.
And they dressed as us, right? Yeah, they did.
We have a picture. Harley hasn't made-up her mind
about what she wants to be for Halloween.
And I offered I could dress her,has a radio DJ, and give her
every item of clothing that has a logo on it.
And you wear some headphones, bring a microphone.
You're good to go. Yeah.
Yeah, she's a walking billboard stack.
(11:28):
A name tag be sucking. On a free coffee and eating a
free. Yeah, OK.
Well, you talked about discerning.
How discerning are you when it comes to your Thanksgiving
parties? Because we're going to play a
brand new game called Happy Thanksgiving.
(11:49):
Wait a minute. You call your Thanksgiving get
together a party at a party? Or is it a state?
It's just. Family, I guess it's a
gathering. If it's, I mean, OK, there's one
party. One of my families, there was
like 30 of us. So that's kind of a party, isn't
it? Depends which family member you
get cornered by. A family party.
(12:10):
Yeah, well, and then the next day we were at Jeremy's parents
house and there was only about 10 of us.
Is that a party? That's more of a gathering
anyway. That's not the game.
The game is called Happy Thanksgiving.
So we're leaving my in laws and it's like 7:00, OK, We've had
our Thanksgiving, we've had the dinner, we've done all that.
(12:31):
And we're and that we notice that there's a young man who, I
don't know, maybe in his 20s I guess, sitting outside on the
electrical box with a bottle of Crown Royal and a glass, smoking
a cigarette, having a dart now. Can you?
He didn't really see it. He saw the car go by.
(12:51):
But Jeremy and I are looking at him like.
OK, well, this huh? It's pretty.
Did he have a happy Thanksgivingin there or not?
And is he having a happier Thanksgiving out?
But out on the electrical box at7:00 PM, drinking by himself.
OK. So the first thing I'm fine
question positive, positive, positive, and you don't have to
tell me where it was, but I knowit's not London.
(13:14):
Right, right. Yeah, you're right.
So. Small town.
Sure. OK, kind of, yeah.
Do they call it the Friendly City?
I don't know, they might. OK, yeah, 7:00 PM.
On the same St. Friday night.
Saturday night. Sunday night.
Sunday night, Thanksgiving itself.
Thanksgiving, actually. Monday, Sunday.
(13:35):
Sunday. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
at 7:00 PM we're leaving our Thanksgiving.
And apparently so did he to go outside, sit on the electrical.
Box with a full or half legged? How much was in the bottle?
It was not full, but I don't know if it was half full.
OK, half full. Like I don't think it was empty.
There was still. It's starting to be a happy
(13:55):
thing. He had a bottle and a glass
smoke and a dart. Yeah, what was he wearing?
He was wearing a hoodie, obviously.
He was like, I'm. Picturing bathrobe so that's
better. Nope, he was.
He was kind of in all black or dark colors, and we all kind of
looked at him like, huh, that's a weird spot to be sitting.
(14:17):
What did your daughters? What did your daughters think?
They were just like, what's he doing?
And we're like, we're not sure. Looks like you might be.
He might be escaping his Thanksgiving, perhaps.
We think maybe he, I don't know,not having the happiest of
Thanksgivings, but it's turned better since he sat in the
electrical box. Maybe he's having a happier
(14:37):
Thanksgiving by himself. I'm going to say.
Must be. How many cars were there?
A lot of cars in the driveway and parked in front of them and.
Stuff. So there might have been one or
two extra cars I didn't notice. And you would you would estimate
about 2021. Yeah, 20, early mid 20s maybe
I'm too. Far too young to be that
cynical. I'm 25, so he looked about my
(14:59):
age. Mustache.
Sure. I don't know.
I didn't. I didn't.
Facial hair. It's not that I saw.
Long hair. Short hair.
I don't know your hair. Sure.
It was a. Hood on is a hood.
On OK. Sure, it was a dark.
He was sitting cross legged, cross legged up on the big
electrical box, which odd choicefor a seat and not.
(15:23):
So he's not on the porch, right?He didn't just go out porch.
Available. Well, yeah, the front door has
all. You want to be as far away from
the house I would think as possible if you're planning on
doing that. Secondly, I guess I'm wondering
if he was in fact having a dart or whether he was smoking
something else. And you lead me to believe.
That anything else? Well, yes, but your windows were
(15:44):
probably up. Well, we we walked outside to
get to the car. Oh, I see.
So we noticed that we got. Cindy cross legged on the
electrical box with. Us like he was in it for a
while, you know? Yeah.
I felt. Like he was just having a quick
smoke and back inside, he brought his drink.
He brought the bottle. Yeah.
Did he look when you were waving?
Was there a? Glass.
No, he ignored it. Yes, there was a glass.
(16:06):
He. Ignored it.
Bottle glass, Dark glass legged electrical box not on the porch.
I feel a little sorry for this individual, so that would lead
me. To he might have been feeling
sorry for himself because he hashad quite a lot going on there
maybe. Yeah, that would lead me to lean
on, if I'm being truthful, probably not a Happy
(16:30):
Thanksgiving, but not a. Happy Thanksgiving, but.
He's trying to make it better, so.
Inside, it's a terrible Thanksgiving, but yes, it may
have been his fault. Yeah.
Oh, interesting. Could be.
For any anybody that watches theTV show The Bear, Yes.
And they had a Christmas episodelaugh out loud comedy.
(16:52):
Am I OK? Yeah, it's just a knee slap.
It is considered a comedy though, I think.
Am I OK? Then maybe you could understand
why someone would leave the house.
Yeah, with the bottle. If it's that bad, yeah.
And sit on top of the. What you should have done is
stuck around to see if he then got in a car and drove into the
side of the house. Wow.
(17:14):
That was Mom. Just walked over and said happy
Thanksgiving. See what he says.
Are you mother? OK?
We'd have a definitive answer then.
(17:41):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's the podcast that has decided to remain neutral in the
Team Keith, Team Nicole debate so please.
That's. Yeah, don't bother asking us,
OK? Don't bother asking us.
However, I think we can all agree that Katy Perry and Justin
(18:02):
Trudeau deserve one another, so that's nice.
EW, it is a new. It's a bit of a new the funniest
meme about that today, A. Bit of a new.
I have to read it to you, no? I don't I don't want to read it.
Still want to hear it. Let me keep going.
I. Don't I thought it was it was
the Beaverton Katy Perry confirms Trudeau romance began
(18:26):
after she saw compelling truck flag.
OK. Well, anyway, let's not let's.
Well, I think I will. Thank you.
Let's not even dwell on that. Let's just move on.
It is time. It is time for good idea, bad
(18:49):
idea. It's time for another good idea,
bad idea. Looking forward to it.
So funny. Confirms Trudeau romance started
after. Good idea, good idea, good idea.
Hilarious. Okay, not literal Katie.
(19:13):
Okay, Anyway. Well, they keep saying it, and
they did for four years. Come on.
OK, good idea, bad idea. This is where we, you know, find
things that we, we wonder aloud is this a good or a bad idea?
And then we argue over it and then we go to bed and everybody,
you know, have a nice night. Sure.
So anyway, here we go. I'm I I'm bringing a couple of
(19:35):
things to the table if anybody else has something.
To bring this. Fine, I'm going to start with
something that I spotted in the grocery store mere days before
Thanksgiving. We had nine people over for
Thanksgiving. We spotted pumpkin spice whipped
cream. I spotted it and I went.
(19:55):
You know the the kind that you not spray Cool Whip, but the
spray type. The aerosol can take.
Yeah, the aerosol and I went, oh, look at this, I said to my
wife Jana, and she immediately said we have to have that.
And So what I. Knew you bought it.
I knew you're all for trying newthings.
She had to buy them. Yeah.
I mean, a bad idea. Move on.
(20:18):
I actually don't want, I don't like pumpkin spice lattes.
They're sweet and they don't do anything for me.
But I don't mind pumpkin flavored things.
They don't bother me. Depending on what it is, Pumpkin
beer is good. Yeah, I enjoy that.
That's different. It is different anyway, sweetie.
(20:38):
I never get pumpkin spice lattes.
No, I don't really. Like them.
If I had seen that in the store I would have just been like huh?
And moved on. Yeah, exactly.
So we actually, we bought it. So we had pumpkin pie and people
were spraying the the pumpkin spice whipped cream on the
pumpkin pie. And the immediate reaction from
my daughter was my favorite. My yeah.
(21:00):
And my older daughter was here. It was my younger daughter who
went. I don't taste anything.
You put it on pumpkin pie. It already tasted.
You think it would? What did you think you would
taste? And so I.
Wasn't she tried just the whipped cream on its own?
(21:22):
Well, no, she put it on pumpkin.She ate it all together.
That's. Where whipped cream goes.
That's where whipped cream goes this time of year on your
pumpkin pot. But sometimes you could eat the
two things separately, like you just take a little bit of the.
Straight in your mouth when you're looking through the
fridge at 2:00 AM alone. Why would anybody ever?
Do that. Followed by a bunch of Halloween
(21:43):
candy that you bought before Thanksgiving.
OK, well, I would never do that.She just went well, it doesn't
taste like anything. I'm like, you're eating it with
pumpkin pie. Well.
If you eat it together with pumpkin pie, right?
I guess it all tastes like pumpkin.
So that made me wonder, is pumpkin spice whipped cream a
good idea or a bad idea? Clearly.
Yeah. OK, go.
Away and say, well I wouldn't buy it, but you both say you'd
(22:06):
spray it in your mouth at 2:00 in the morning.
Well, like any I whipped cream, yes.
I guess pumpkin spice whipped cream, I think is here's my
opinion on pumpkin spice whippedcream.
Yeah, I don't think it. I think it's moot because I'm
sad if I have whipped cream on its own.
(22:27):
I I don't want it to taste like pumpkin spice.
Yeah, I'm having a sad Thanksgiving.
Yeah, but. If I have it with pumpkin pie,
it doesn't matter if it tastes like pumpkin spice, so what's
the point? Do you know what I mean?
Well, that was my point. What is the point of pumpkin
spice whipped cream if? I think you're right, there's no
point. If it's it's going to be put on
your. So I, I, I, I bounced that off
(22:50):
like immediately. I said to my wife, I said, yeah,
that's a very good point. What is the point of this
whipped cream? You could, you could put it on
something else. And I went, yeah, I guess you
could put. It on your.
Apple pie, I guess if you wantedsomething else to taste.
Pumpkin spiced. But then you're getting the
pumpkin spice whipped cream flavor plus the flavor of
(23:10):
whatever else you're eating, andI don't know if those things
always go together. They don't.
Bad idea. She did mention pancakes and I
thought I don't really put whipped cream on pancakes, but I
guess some people. You could do, Yeah.
OK, I see that you could do pumpkin spice with.
Flower back on board. Or you are back on board.
So I just think it's really dumb.
(23:30):
You just need to give me a compelling argument like those
truck flags and I'm all in give.You instructions in flag form.
Do this to him, fine. Good idea.
Okay, so now this is a good ideathen the pumpkin spice whipped
cream whip is a. I'm gonna buy it.
(23:52):
So I actually think it's, I just, I think it's a bad idea
because I don't care. Bad idea.
Well, I think you were right. I think it's I wouldn't have
said it's moot. I just don't I what's the point?
Yeah, yeah, what is the point? I.
Think there is no spice whipped cream as we done it?
Thank you for agreeing with me, OK.
Redundant to exist. It shouldn't.
It doesn't need to happen. Let us move on.
(24:14):
OK, Good idea, bad idea. Adult to ween.
Adult to Halloween. That's Halloween for adults.
Is this a new thing? Should adults get their own
night to celebrate Halloween adult to ween just.
Celebrate it Halloween. Just do it.
You don't need to call it adult.It's just Halloween.
(24:36):
OK, So what do you do on Halloween, Rachel?
Do you get all dressed up and party with your adult friends?
No, I don't. What are you doing?
I'm going to hand out candy and trick or treat with my kids.
Yeah, exactly so. But the weekend?
Before for me, Well, it's on a weekend.
This year, so Halloween's not for you.
(24:57):
Well, it could be for me. Adult to ween is like in college
and you dress like a slut and you go to the bar.
That's adult to ween. But that's how you know it
already happens. That's every Friday night.
Not if you're in a nurse's outfit.
Yeah, you put on cat ears and then it's a costume for
Halloween. Paint a little black, nose on
and whiskers all done. Look, you mean?
(25:21):
You mean you don't do that in February?
No, I think it has to be a very special occasion.
I see. Yeah.
No, I think adult to Ween is just, you know, college kids
celebrating, isn't it? It's just.
Like, do adults actually celebrate?
New poll found over half of adults think grown-ups should
(25:43):
get their own night to celebrateHalloween without having the
kids around. Yeah, almost 60.
Then you can do that. That's almost 2/3 of adults.
Wish it was a thing. Adult.
Ween called. Is it a?
Trick or treat or what's happening here?
There's. Oh, you party, you dress.
Up. Oh, well then you can.
No one's stopping you from doingthat.
Yeah, but you're not having fun on Halloween with kids coming to
(26:06):
the door and out trick or treating unless you enjoy.
That so there's 2/3 of people they want to ditch their kids so
they can go. You're in a.
Small town, right? Yeah, yeah.
So you, you take your kids out trick or treating and everybody,
he's got a drink in their hand. Yeah.
So it is kind of a delta wean. Yeah, see.
Everyone's out, you stop and yousee all your friends and yeah,
(26:26):
yeah, right. I mean we still in the.
City, we have laws. Yeah.
I mean, like, you still have yetis though, don't you?
Right. Is that what they're for?
I put. Coffee in mine.
Well, also that. Well, if it's half Bailey's.
No, I don't do that. I topped with a little pumpkin
spice with cream. Too sweet.
(26:46):
It's too. You've got some leftover I bet,
too. Sweet.
Alright, so you don't think there should be a separate
night? I always felt like.
I don't care about dressing up. Some people really love dressing
up. I don't know, do you guys like
dressing up? I mean, we went out in
Halloween. We.
Celebrated together. We dressed up and went out for
the Halloween last year at a full it was a fundraiser.
(27:07):
Full. Huge party, hundreds of people.
It was a practice. Yes, I remember right.
It was great. But we've that's like the first
time since college that we've done that yes.
And so like, and it's just called, I don't know, it's a
Saturday or Fridays before Halloween.
You have a party. Yeah, that's.
What I think I mean, I don't, this is AUS thing.
So I, you know, the, the Americans are whiny anyway, but
(27:31):
I, I always felt like so Halloween this year, I believe,
is a Friday, which is a great day for kids, right?
They don't have to get up the next day and all.
It's perfect. Perfect.
And for you people in a small town, you can get hammered and
stagger up and down this week with your kids, pretending that
you're actually watching your kids while you're getting.
Hammered. Yeah, you know, but I always
(27:53):
felt like it was the whatever the Saturday happens to be
Halloween, that's a bit of a drag, but I always felt like the
Saturday before Halloween, have at it, do it, go out.
And we used to go to. We used to go to.
There will be dressed up. There was a big party of I
forget where everybody would getdressed up and they would have
prizes and do all of that stuff.Kind of like what I remember
(28:13):
doing, all of that stuff. Some people.
Love to dress up, Yeah. It's great fun.
It's great fun and you try to becreative and you try to win and
do all of that, that stuff. I don't think you need a
separate. No, I don't think you need a
separate thing. Have a party if you want one,
yeah. 2/3 of adults should plan more of their own parties.
That's what basically said Studies or.
(28:34):
Live in a small town where you go out on Halloween and just.
So are you dress up when you walk?
Around wander the streets and pretend that you're watching
your kids while you're peeing inyour neighbor's tree.
OK, I don't do that. Well, I'll bet you do.
Good idea. This is due to underwhelming
(29:14):
demand. It's a podcast.
It's an unsponsored podcast. Yes, and we will guilt you with
that every week until we have a new a new sponsor.
Yes, if you know somebody, if you think you know somebody, if
you would like to really irritate somebody and tell them
anyway, it doesn't really matter.
There are many, you know, we have any all kinds of price
(29:35):
points and you can find out how to sponsor us through our
website. Underwhelming.ca or you can
e-mail us Dave rachelforeman@gmail.com.
I can send you the pricing list or just e-mail us anytime
because we love to hear from you.
We love to get your thoughts on the episodes.
What did you laugh about with us?
You know, what did you laugh with us about?
(29:55):
What did you hate? Maybe like, don't tell us too
much about. That, but what are you doing?
Where you been? Where?
You been where are? You from?
What are you from? What are you calling?
We love all that. Yes, yes.
Ainsley wanted to send a messagedirectly to you, David.
Yes, yes. I want to let you know that the
Bills handed Kansas City City their only lost last season.
(30:17):
Signed a 2007 Taylor fan, not a 2025 fan.
Oh, OK. Oh.
You're not a fan anymore. I don't know.
I'm pretty sure that didn't. Then didn't Kansas City turn
around and then beat them and went to the Super Bowl?
Yeah, I think so. I don't fan just.
Last year, this, yeah. They did.
Kansas City was in the Super Bowl.
(30:38):
They well, yeah, Kansas City gotbeat, yeah.
But they, I think they beat the Bills to get there.
So that's nice. Regular season win, got to win
in the playoffs. I do recall the Bills went
pretty far last season though. Yeah, all the way to Kansas City
and then lost. I do recall Taylor did not enjoy
her time in Buffalo when the Chiefs had to play there in that
playoff game when Jason took a shirt off and went running
(31:00):
around the crowd. Yeah, but he was pretty funny.
Yes, he was. I enjoyed Jason in Buffalo,
that's for sure. That's what Jason Kelsey
actually became a that's when weall went.
We love that guy. That guy.
More of that. Yeah, and he was handing little
children up to meet Taylor. That's cute.
That's great. That's very cute.
(31:22):
OK, We're on TikTok as well. You can follow us at Due to
underwhelming demand is our handle there and we've posted a
video of last week. Red sky at night.
Two birds in the hand and don't beat around the Bush.
Yep. Well, Kendra has commented on
our video and she says red sky at night Sailor's delight.
Red sky in the morning, Sailors take warning.
(31:43):
No, it's not. Thank you, Kendra.
It's not the same. That's.
Not the joke. That's not.
That's not. At all heart your comment
anyway. We like your commentating with
Kendra. Now that you've said that, I get
there must be a freezing rain warning.
Yes, right, speaking a past. Episode Guy in the morning,
freezing rain warning. Up.
Yeah, it's just. I mean, that's just what it is,
(32:04):
Kendra. Sure.
There's no arguing with us. There's just there's no other
option. Yeah.
No, Melissa sent us a message tosay the fart book was absolutely
hilarious, of course. Good.
Farts are funny, and if you say they are not, then you have no
sense of humor. Sure, that's why people write
books about them. I was at the gas station the
(32:27):
other day and some guys phone kept going off.
Oh this must be as an aside. I was at the gas station the
other day and some guys phone kept going off.
His text message notification was Homer Simpsons Doe.
That's funny too. That is funny.
That is good. I would get a little tired of
that after a while, but I do like it.
The guys that did our kitchen this summer, one of them had a
(32:48):
funny ringtone and it, I can't remember what it was, but it was
some sound effect. And I every time it went off, I
laughed a little to myself. You have to, you have to.
I was like, who's this Daddy's like it's mine.
Sorry. I'm like, no, it's hilarious.
It's. Funny you're everybody's up for
silly fun. Sometimes you just got to have
some silly fun. Just like Kimiko enjoys about
this show. Kimiko, another friend of ours,
(33:10):
another parent on the swim team who is brand new to this
podcast. OK.
And starting from the beginning and making her way through all.
Right, good for her. So we'll see how long it takes
you to get to this part. That's a.
Slug, but as she's listening, she's directly texting Ashley
individual comments about different things we've talked
(33:33):
about. I think that's.
A good idea probably has no fucking clue either.
She's just like, what is this about she?
Knows what are. You telling me?
Starting with she and you wants to talk.
She wants to talk about how he looks like Bernard the elf.
I can kind of see it. I'm going to call him that the
(33:53):
next time I see him lol. You do look like Bernard.
The Elf. It looks like Bernard the Elf.
It's almost Bernard the Elf season, by the way, because it's
right after Halloween coming up.Yep, So it begins.
Next message again this is from Kamiko.
Gone out as Bernard the Elf you.Are fucking out and.
You should, I hope there's. I'm going to look that up.
(34:16):
Is there a costume of Bernard the Elf?
And it doesn't. Need a bottle?
For you he. Doesn't need a costume, he just
needs a. Little wig with the like stringy
like the curly kind of straight hair.
Bernard the Elf. All right, costume, keep going
for him. Sorry.
Next message. Again, this is from Kimiko to
(34:36):
Ashley about us. OK.
That says please tell your husband we freeze our butter and
cheese. Thank you.
Thank you. Freezes butter or cheese.
Two of us do. Can we go?
Can we still? Do.
Butter, yeah. It doesn't even need a fridge.
(34:57):
What the hell it? Needs a fridge.
You buy it in the fridge. It can't sit out for that.
It'll go bad after a while. Butter can sit out longer, but
if you leave it out too long it'll mold.
Oh my God yes. So either way, the fridge is
fine for months on end. You don't need to freeze it.
I've got a brick of cheese. Honestly, Brick of cheese New
(35:18):
this week. It is October 2025 and it's not
due to like August 2026. You don't.
Like that's the cheese. OK, I don't freeze cheese
anymore because you guys give mesuch grief about it.
Butter. I still do.
Stop freezing butter. Why would you?
Eat. I do so it.
(35:39):
Keep isn't, so it keep. Then I do because I buy it in.
I buy multiples when it's on sale.
Keep it in the fridge. It can all just be in the.
Fridge. Just put it in the fridge.
You don't need to freeze the whole time, it's not going to
die in the. Fridge still going in the
freezer. Why just I'm not I'm not
(35:59):
debating this anymore. Absolutely no reason it's going
just. Leave it in me and.
Kamiko, thank you very much. Last 1 then.
OK, you're really. Going to love this 10.
Boy, it's all. About me, yes, that says
specifically. Now this girl reads my mind.
She legit clap back about the microwave.
(36:20):
Can I please meet her? She's my favorite, thank you.
Finally somebody. She's my favorite.
That's great, thank you so much.I get nothing from these two
dopes. Finally I have someone who's on
my side. You're freezing your butter.
(36:41):
And calling me a dope. Other people freeze their.
Butter. Who's the lost cause?
It's. Not so weird.
Whoa. I'm going to buy butter when
it's on sale for. Less than 5 bucks because it's
expensive. Yes, and then I freeze it.
Uh huh. Don't pull one out.
At a time and I. Use it.
I cut off the hunk. I put it on the counter in the
(37:02):
butter dish thing. Put it in the fridge.
It's in the fridge when? I take it out of.
The freezer and leave it in the fridge.
Wow, yeah. Thank you.
Kamiko, you can e-mail. US anytime freeze.
Your butter. This is Rhonda, and I just want
(37:25):
to say no offense to you, but I stopped siding with you the day
you told us that the way you puton a bra is the right way.
So I got to I got to agree with Dave on the cheese thing too.
Because I can't listen to you anymore.
Rachel, have a good day, guys. OK, you too.
(37:46):
Bye.
How did you know? Outside the Woodstocker, St.
Thomas and Foreman wasn't telling.
Telling. Stuff.
Well, if he had his shirt off, it would have been Saint Thomas.
Shirt was off, it would be the same time.
Or Tilsenburg, Yeah. Oh yeah, those pants would have
been off in Tilsenburg. This is due to underwhelming
(00:24):
demand. The podcast with Dave, Rachel
and Forum. And this is the podcast.
It's sort of like spending over $300.00 for a 12 foot tall
Halloween decoration to put on your front lawn.
You know, it's kind of dumb. The big skeleton.
But if it gives you some joy, who cares?
And that's our podcast. Sure.
(00:47):
Kind of dumb. It's kind of dumb, but it brings
you joy. Yeah, who cares?
And once again, it's and it's brought to you, this fine
podcast is brought you by no one.
So if you do care about keeping the podcast alive, sure, feel
free to get in touch with us. And don't give Home Depot
$400.00 for that skeleton. Give it to us, right?
(01:09):
That's. Right, we will bring you joy
year round, not just on Halloween.
That's right. What about us or the?
Skeleton. You can put a Santa hat on.
You can dress like a leprechaun.You can give it a Canadian flag.
We'll do. Whatever you need coming up on
this podcast, this fine unsponsored podcast, Yeah.
(01:30):
A little good idea, bad idea. Rachel is going to play good
Thanksgiving or not. Yes.
Or I feel or else titled would she Thanksgiving.
No, if yeah. But if you're asking is this a
good Thanksgiving or not, I'm already going to say probably
not. OK, or?
You lean or not? It's not about me and in fact
(01:52):
it's about a stranger and it's just a new game that I thought
we could play today. It just feels like if you're
asking the question, the answer is probably not.
Well, I mean it all right? You don't know yet.
You don't, but. Especially when it's a stranger,
it's a lot easier to judge. So that leans even heavier.
Not the. Stranger, I don't even know who
(02:13):
they are, but they. Exactly.
We're not playing that till later, even though we just
started to play a little bit. Sure.
I think we're just playing with is, is the title a good good.
Thanksgiving or not or Happy Thanksgiving?
Whatever. All right.
And Foreman, what do you got? I have a happy Halloween.
(02:37):
We love the holidays here. It.
Might do your happiness at Halloween Might depend on how
early you've bought your candy to give out to trick or
treaters. Oh, because the average family
that stocks up on candy early will eat their way through the
entire stash. Yeah.
(02:59):
Not once. Yeah.
But twice. Oh come on, this is the.
Average family. Really.
This is why they start selling it so early in August.
Why? I don't know.
Because we can't help ourselves.That's we.
Can't help ourselves. It's in the house.
Yes, you can't help yourself. But why would you buy?
Your favorite kind? Why?
(03:20):
Because if you don't need it. Well, that's a good well you
need. It you were going to give it
out, so then you have to restockbefore Halloween, right?
You were. Just going to save it.
It was going to stay in the closet, unseen, out of sight,
out of mind. But it's never really out of
mind now, is it? No.
Come on, let's get right down tobasics here.
If you're a smart family like mine, we wait for it to go on
(03:41):
sale. So you buy it at the after
Halloween? No, no, no.
Usually be sitting there since November last year.
Well, it doesn't matter because it's if, if, if in fact you're
worried about whether it's staleor not.
It's been in stores since, I don't know, the end of July,
beginning of August. Oh yeah, that's are you really
worried about it going back? No, it's fine.
(04:02):
No, I'm not worried about like little chocolate bars.
It's the hard candies. No gummies.
No. Well, anyway, all I'm suggesting
to you is it will go on sale because stores have way too much
of it. Correct?
It will go on sale When's? The sweet spot of the sale
because it goes out and then we're like, oh, Halloween,
candy's out, I better get it. The trouble is if you wait too
(04:24):
long it's hard to get good stuff.
You're forced to just hand out rockets which everyone knows are
shit. Never handing out rockets I'd
rather hand out. That's people who do waited till
the last minute. They waited till the 30th or
31st. Just give their candy.
Just give the kids loonies for God's sake.
Know what no kid has ever wanted?
Plain old Dutch chips Get out. Wow.
(04:49):
Yeah, and they're teamed, I mean.
They have 5 chips inside. Ripples and old Dutch, but the.
Lasers are the same. Yeah, half of them are green.
Nobody wants any of those They. Are green.
You're so right, yeah. Yeah.
All right. Let me ask a question then,
because we we have not bought it.
I mean, as we record this, it's post Thanksgiving and Halloween,
(05:15):
Yeah, Halloween, but it's not very far away.
Who's bought Halloween candy? Yes.
We have we have two boxes of the130 things from the Nestle box.
So that's what Smarties Boo Kit Kat, Arrow and Coffee Crisp.
Those are unopened right now. OK, good for you.
(05:37):
Those ones are unopened, however.
No, we haven't bought any 'causeI know that we'll eat them.
The box of 140 Mars Peanut, M&M's, Snickers and Twix.
Mysteriously, you can just lift the flap parked in the back of
the pantry. That's weird.
Behind the other boxes. That's weird.
It must have just arrived already opened by.
(06:01):
Mistake. Pretty much everything's already
gone except the Twix. No, they're.
Good. Nobody likes.
Twix. Nobody likes Twix.
I like Twix. Nobody likes Twix, no.
I do. And the Snickers.
By the way, Twix is the Snickersare not chocolate bars anymore.
I'll have you know they're little squares.
Oh, that's bullshit. How do I know that?
(06:22):
Because we have to go stock up again.
Well, that's the thing, they're little squares now, so you have
to eat more of them. I did not open these.
Harley and Ashley came home after a Costco trip I believe
with these and somehow in the car ride home this box ended up
being opened and since then likea week ago it's been pretty much
(06:43):
empty. Empty.
So my stepdad and mom bought, mystepdad bought the, bought
candy, Halloween candy probably 2 weeks ago.
And my mom said to him, why are we buying we're, why are we
buying that so early? We're, we're just going to eat
it. And he's like, well, that's the
fun of it. That's the fun of it.
That's the fun of it, to eat it before Halloween.
(07:06):
Yeah, well, they're not trick ortreating.
They don't get candy. They wouldn't get candy
otherwise. He's like, the fun of it is
having it around and eating it. Of course you want to eat it
before Halloween. He has no, no shame in doing
that. So it's fine with him.
Oh, OK, that's. More later.
He doesn't even care. That's this whole modus operandi
that he just buys it and and doesn't see we we will maybe.
(07:26):
You're doing it on purpose. We always buy full bars.
We don't deal in the. Little cause not all of us live
north of Anshaw well. No, I just can.
Just you can. Get them right now, they're on
sale at Costco. That doesn't mean that they're
still more expensive than they. Used 18 in a pack.
I've got like 300 kids that cometo my house in.
This economy must be very nice. No, I don't get 300.
(07:47):
Kids. With tariffs come.
On. Oh stop.
It must be nice. It must be nice.
Stop your whining. China's best friend Bunch of.
Whiners. What a whiner.
What a whiner. Trick or treating at Dave's
house? Yeah, like for Halloween, I'm
here for my chocolate bar. You should.
(08:09):
I think they're on sale, so we'll buy a couple at Costco and
there you go, kids have. AI mustn't get a ton then.
No, we tend to get a lot of kids.
Get a lot of kids here I think cuz word spreads.
Yes. Yes, this is.
The house that Oh, absolutely itdoes.
Yeah, word spreads. When there's a house in our
neighborhood that's chocolate like full size everybody as soon
(08:30):
as you see your friend on the street, which is every 3rd.
Person you know they're going torun out guess.
What? They've got that?
Yeah, the house over there has got big chocolate bars, right?
And one year it was a lady kind of at the end of the street that
didn't get a lot of traffic. So by the time we got there, she
gave each kid 2. There you go.
See. Good deal, good deal.
That's amazing. That's This is why you got to go
to every house. Yes.
(08:51):
Absolutely. I think this is like we've, and
we've talked about the season before, It's stuff your face.
Season starts with Thanksgiving,yes, And then the good is to
carry it on with the candy for Halloween.
And that's why we have to restock once or twice as an
average family. But it doesn't stop all winter.
We're like fucking grizzly bearsin hibernation.
(09:12):
We say it's Thanksgiving, it's Halloween candy.
Then you stuff your face for more Christmas and there's all
kinds of chocolates and all thatsame nonsense at Christmas, just
in different shapes. Then you're right into
Valentine's. Different shapes of the same
damn candy. Yeah.
Then. Easter different shapes of the
same damn. Candy then, and then it's summer
(09:32):
and you go, oh, look what? Happened to my summer body.
Yeah, how am I going to sit by the pool looking like this?
Uh huh. Looking like Jabba the Hutt.
Give me a different shape of Reese's Pieces.
You spend all summer trying to do something about it, and then
at Thanksgiving hits and we're fucked.
Yeah. I look like all shapes of the
Reese's Pieces now. I wouldn't reach for a chocolate
(09:54):
bar, it's just not my thing. Chips I could I They could be in
front of me and I don't care. Well, since I discovered this
box being open, the reason that all the peanut M&M's are gone
are because of me. So oh.
OK, there you go. I don't want to really do it.
That was the. Part of it, Foreman.
Yeah, we have a thing here called the Wrath of Jana, and
both Charlotte and I are aware of it.
(10:16):
So no, we're not. You're not sneaking any candy.
That doesn't happen that that the Collins is.
Right. Does she parade you down Fanshaw
Park Rd. with a bell and say shame?
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.
(10:44):
Listen to the Underwhelming Demand, the podcast that the
more discerning trick or treaters are dressing as this
year. Boy, that's sad.
I don't even really know what that means, but it just sounded
good to me. I have no idea it just so I
apologize. Remember one year somebody
actually did dress as you. No, me and Lindsay from the
(11:05):
radio. Remember Lindsay used to be.
And they dressed as us, right? Yeah, they did.
We have a picture. Harley hasn't made-up her mind
about what she wants to be for Halloween.
And I offered I could dress her,has a radio DJ, and give her
every item of clothing that has a logo on it.
And you wear some headphones, bring a microphone.
You're good to go. Yeah.
Yeah, she's a walking billboard stack.
(11:28):
A name tag be sucking. On a free coffee and eating a
free. Yeah, OK.
Well, you talked about discerning.
How discerning are you when it comes to your Thanksgiving
parties? Because we're going to play a
brand new game called Happy Thanksgiving.
(11:49):
Wait a minute. You call your Thanksgiving get
together a party at a party? Or is it a state?
It's just. Family, I guess it's a
gathering. If it's, I mean, OK, there's one
party. One of my families, there was
like 30 of us. So that's kind of a party, isn't
it? Depends which family member you
get cornered by. A family party.
(12:10):
Yeah, well, and then the next day we were at Jeremy's parents
house and there was only about 10 of us.
Is that a party? That's more of a gathering
anyway. That's not the game.
The game is called Happy Thanksgiving.
So we're leaving my in laws and it's like 7:00, OK, We've had
our Thanksgiving, we've had the dinner, we've done all that.
(12:31):
And we're and that we notice that there's a young man who, I
don't know, maybe in his 20s I guess, sitting outside on the
electrical box with a bottle of Crown Royal and a glass, smoking
a cigarette, having a dart now. Can you?
He didn't really see it. He saw the car go by.
(12:51):
But Jeremy and I are looking at him like.
OK, well, this huh? It's pretty.
Did he have a happy Thanksgivingin there or not?
And is he having a happier Thanksgiving out?
But out on the electrical box at7:00 PM, drinking by himself.
OK. So the first thing I'm fine
question positive, positive, positive, and you don't have to
tell me where it was, but I knowit's not London.
(13:14):
Right, right. Yeah, you're right.
So. Small town.
Sure. OK, kind of, yeah.
Do they call it the Friendly City?
I don't know, they might. OK, yeah, 7:00 PM.
On the same St. Friday night.
Saturday night. Sunday night.
Sunday night, Thanksgiving itself.
Thanksgiving, actually. Monday, Sunday.
(13:35):
Sunday. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
at 7:00 PM we're leaving our Thanksgiving.
And apparently so did he to go outside, sit on the electrical.
Box with a full or half legged? How much was in the bottle?
It was not full, but I don't know if it was half full.
OK, half full. Like I don't think it was empty.
There was still. It's starting to be a happy
(13:55):
thing. He had a bottle and a glass
smoke and a dart. Yeah, what was he wearing?
He was wearing a hoodie, obviously.
He was like, I'm. Picturing bathrobe so that's
better. Nope, he was.
He was kind of in all black or dark colors, and we all kind of
looked at him like, huh, that's a weird spot to be sitting.
(14:17):
What did your daughters? What did your daughters think?
They were just like, what's he doing?
And we're like, we're not sure. Looks like you might be.
He might be escaping his Thanksgiving, perhaps.
We think maybe he, I don't know,not having the happiest of
Thanksgivings, but it's turned better since he sat in the
electrical box. Maybe he's having a happier
(14:37):
Thanksgiving by himself. I'm going to say.
Must be. How many cars were there?
A lot of cars in the driveway and parked in front of them and.
Stuff. So there might have been one or
two extra cars I didn't notice. And you would you would estimate
about 2021. Yeah, 20, early mid 20s maybe
I'm too. Far too young to be that
cynical. I'm 25, so he looked about my
(14:59):
age. Mustache.
Sure. I don't know.
I didn't. I didn't.
Facial hair. It's not that I saw.
Long hair. Short hair.
I don't know your hair. Sure.
It was a. Hood on is a hood.
On OK. Sure, it was a dark.
He was sitting cross legged, cross legged up on the big
electrical box, which odd choicefor a seat and not.
(15:23):
So he's not on the porch, right?He didn't just go out porch.
Available. Well, yeah, the front door has
all. You want to be as far away from
the house I would think as possible if you're planning on
doing that. Secondly, I guess I'm wondering
if he was in fact having a dart or whether he was smoking
something else. And you lead me to believe.
That anything else? Well, yes, but your windows were
(15:44):
probably up. Well, we we walked outside to
get to the car. Oh, I see.
So we noticed that we got. Cindy cross legged on the
electrical box with. Us like he was in it for a
while, you know? Yeah.
I felt. Like he was just having a quick
smoke and back inside, he brought his drink.
He brought the bottle. Yeah.
Did he look when you were waving?
Was there a? Glass.
No, he ignored it. Yes, there was a glass.
(16:06):
He. Ignored it.
Bottle glass, Dark glass legged electrical box not on the porch.
I feel a little sorry for this individual, so that would lead
me. To he might have been feeling
sorry for himself because he hashad quite a lot going on there
maybe. Yeah, that would lead me to lean
on, if I'm being truthful, probably not a Happy
(16:30):
Thanksgiving, but not a. Happy Thanksgiving, but.
He's trying to make it better, so.
Inside, it's a terrible Thanksgiving, but yes, it may
have been his fault. Yeah.
Oh, interesting. Could be.
For any anybody that watches theTV show The Bear, Yes.
And they had a Christmas episodelaugh out loud comedy.
(16:52):
Am I OK? Yeah, it's just a knee slap.
It is considered a comedy though, I think.
Am I OK? Then maybe you could understand
why someone would leave the house.
Yeah, with the bottle. If it's that bad, yeah.
And sit on top of the. What you should have done is
stuck around to see if he then got in a car and drove into the
side of the house. Wow.
(17:14):
That was Mom. Just walked over and said happy
Thanksgiving. See what he says.
Are you mother? OK?
We'd have a definitive answer then.
(17:41):
This is due to underwhelming demand.
It's the podcast that has decided to remain neutral in the
Team Keith, Team Nicole debate so please.
That's. Yeah, don't bother asking us,
OK? Don't bother asking us.
However, I think we can all agree that Katy Perry and Justin
(18:02):
Trudeau deserve one another, so that's nice.
EW, it is a new. It's a bit of a new the funniest
meme about that today, A. Bit of a new.
I have to read it to you, no? I don't I don't want to read it.
Still want to hear it. Let me keep going.
I. Don't I thought it was it was
the Beaverton Katy Perry confirms Trudeau romance began
(18:26):
after she saw compelling truck flag.
OK. Well, anyway, let's not let's.
Well, I think I will. Thank you.
Let's not even dwell on that. Let's just move on.
It is time. It is time for good idea, bad
(18:49):
idea. It's time for another good idea,
bad idea. Looking forward to it.
So funny. Confirms Trudeau romance started
after. Good idea, good idea, good idea.
Hilarious. Okay, not literal Katie.
(19:13):
Okay, Anyway. Well, they keep saying it, and
they did for four years. Come on.
OK, good idea, bad idea. This is where we, you know, find
things that we, we wonder aloud is this a good or a bad idea?
And then we argue over it and then we go to bed and everybody,
you know, have a nice night. Sure.
So anyway, here we go. I'm I I'm bringing a couple of
(19:35):
things to the table if anybody else has something.
To bring this. Fine, I'm going to start with
something that I spotted in the grocery store mere days before
Thanksgiving. We had nine people over for
Thanksgiving. We spotted pumpkin spice whipped
cream. I spotted it and I went.
(19:55):
You know the the kind that you not spray Cool Whip, but the
spray type. The aerosol can take.
Yeah, the aerosol and I went, oh, look at this, I said to my
wife Jana, and she immediately said we have to have that.
And So what I. Knew you bought it.
I knew you're all for trying newthings.
She had to buy them. Yeah.
I mean, a bad idea. Move on.
(20:18):
I actually don't want, I don't like pumpkin spice lattes.
They're sweet and they don't do anything for me.
But I don't mind pumpkin flavored things.
They don't bother me. Depending on what it is, Pumpkin
beer is good. Yeah, I enjoy that.
That's different. It is different anyway, sweetie.
(20:38):
I never get pumpkin spice lattes.
No, I don't really. Like them.
If I had seen that in the store I would have just been like huh?
And moved on. Yeah, exactly.
So we actually, we bought it. So we had pumpkin pie and people
were spraying the the pumpkin spice whipped cream on the
pumpkin pie. And the immediate reaction from
my daughter was my favorite. My yeah.
(21:00):
And my older daughter was here. It was my younger daughter who
went. I don't taste anything.
You put it on pumpkin pie. It already tasted.
You think it would? What did you think you would
taste? And so I.
Wasn't she tried just the whipped cream on its own?
(21:22):
Well, no, she put it on pumpkin.She ate it all together.
That's. Where whipped cream goes.
That's where whipped cream goes this time of year on your
pumpkin pot. But sometimes you could eat the
two things separately, like you just take a little bit of the.
Straight in your mouth when you're looking through the
fridge at 2:00 AM alone. Why would anybody ever?
Do that. Followed by a bunch of Halloween
(21:43):
candy that you bought before Thanksgiving.
OK, well, I would never do that.She just went well, it doesn't
taste like anything. I'm like, you're eating it with
pumpkin pie. Well.
If you eat it together with pumpkin pie, right?
I guess it all tastes like pumpkin.
So that made me wonder, is pumpkin spice whipped cream a
good idea or a bad idea? Clearly.
Yeah. OK, go.
Away and say, well I wouldn't buy it, but you both say you'd
(22:06):
spray it in your mouth at 2:00 in the morning.
Well, like any I whipped cream, yes.
I guess pumpkin spice whipped cream, I think is here's my
opinion on pumpkin spice whippedcream.
Yeah, I don't think it. I think it's moot because I'm
sad if I have whipped cream on its own.
(22:27):
I I don't want it to taste like pumpkin spice.
Yeah, I'm having a sad Thanksgiving.
Yeah, but. If I have it with pumpkin pie,
it doesn't matter if it tastes like pumpkin spice, so what's
the point? Do you know what I mean?
Well, that was my point. What is the point of pumpkin
spice whipped cream if? I think you're right, there's no
point. If it's it's going to be put on
your. So I, I, I, I bounced that off
(22:50):
like immediately. I said to my wife, I said, yeah,
that's a very good point. What is the point of this
whipped cream? You could, you could put it on
something else. And I went, yeah, I guess you
could put. It on your.
Apple pie, I guess if you wantedsomething else to taste.
Pumpkin spiced. But then you're getting the
pumpkin spice whipped cream flavor plus the flavor of
(23:10):
whatever else you're eating, andI don't know if those things
always go together. They don't.
Bad idea. She did mention pancakes and I
thought I don't really put whipped cream on pancakes, but I
guess some people. You could do, Yeah.
OK, I see that you could do pumpkin spice with.
Flower back on board. Or you are back on board.
So I just think it's really dumb.
(23:30):
You just need to give me a compelling argument like those
truck flags and I'm all in give.You instructions in flag form.
Do this to him, fine. Good idea.
Okay, so now this is a good ideathen the pumpkin spice whipped
cream whip is a. I'm gonna buy it.
(23:52):
So I actually think it's, I just, I think it's a bad idea
because I don't care. Bad idea.
Well, I think you were right. I think it's I wouldn't have
said it's moot. I just don't I what's the point?
Yeah, yeah, what is the point? I.
Think there is no spice whipped cream as we done it?
Thank you for agreeing with me, OK.
Redundant to exist. It shouldn't.
It doesn't need to happen. Let us move on.
(24:14):
OK, Good idea, bad idea. Adult to ween.
Adult to Halloween. That's Halloween for adults.
Is this a new thing? Should adults get their own
night to celebrate Halloween adult to ween just.
Celebrate it Halloween. Just do it.
You don't need to call it adult.It's just Halloween.
(24:36):
OK, So what do you do on Halloween, Rachel?
Do you get all dressed up and party with your adult friends?
No, I don't. What are you doing?
I'm going to hand out candy and trick or treat with my kids.
Yeah, exactly so. But the weekend?
Before for me, Well, it's on a weekend.
This year, so Halloween's not for you.
(24:57):
Well, it could be for me. Adult to ween is like in college
and you dress like a slut and you go to the bar.
That's adult to ween. But that's how you know it
already happens. That's every Friday night.
Not if you're in a nurse's outfit.
Yeah, you put on cat ears and then it's a costume for
Halloween. Paint a little black, nose on
and whiskers all done. Look, you mean?
(25:21):
You mean you don't do that in February?
No, I think it has to be a very special occasion.
I see. Yeah.
No, I think adult to Ween is just, you know, college kids
celebrating, isn't it? It's just.
Like, do adults actually celebrate?
New poll found over half of adults think grown-ups should
(25:43):
get their own night to celebrateHalloween without having the
kids around. Yeah, almost 60.
Then you can do that. That's almost 2/3 of adults.
Wish it was a thing. Adult.
Ween called. Is it a?
Trick or treat or what's happening here?
There's. Oh, you party, you dress.
Up. Oh, well then you can.
No one's stopping you from doingthat.
Yeah, but you're not having fun on Halloween with kids coming to
(26:06):
the door and out trick or treating unless you enjoy.
That so there's 2/3 of people they want to ditch their kids so
they can go. You're in a.
Small town, right? Yeah, yeah.
So you, you take your kids out trick or treating and everybody,
he's got a drink in their hand. Yeah.
So it is kind of a delta wean. Yeah, see.
Everyone's out, you stop and yousee all your friends and yeah,
(26:26):
yeah, right. I mean we still in the.
City, we have laws. Yeah.
I mean, like, you still have yetis though, don't you?
Right. Is that what they're for?
I put. Coffee in mine.
Well, also that. Well, if it's half Bailey's.
No, I don't do that. I topped with a little pumpkin
spice with cream. Too sweet.
(26:46):
It's too. You've got some leftover I bet,
too. Sweet.
Alright, so you don't think there should be a separate
night? I always felt like.
I don't care about dressing up. Some people really love dressing
up. I don't know, do you guys like
dressing up? I mean, we went out in
Halloween. We.
Celebrated together. We dressed up and went out for
the Halloween last year at a full it was a fundraiser.
(27:07):
Full. Huge party, hundreds of people.
It was a practice. Yes, I remember right.
It was great. But we've that's like the first
time since college that we've done that yes.
And so like, and it's just called, I don't know, it's a
Saturday or Fridays before Halloween.
You have a party. Yeah, that's.
What I think I mean, I don't, this is AUS thing.
So I, you know, the, the Americans are whiny anyway, but
(27:31):
I, I always felt like so Halloween this year, I believe,
is a Friday, which is a great day for kids, right?
They don't have to get up the next day and all.
It's perfect. Perfect.
And for you people in a small town, you can get hammered and
stagger up and down this week with your kids, pretending that
you're actually watching your kids while you're getting.
Hammered. Yeah, you know, but I always
(27:53):
felt like it was the whatever the Saturday happens to be
Halloween, that's a bit of a drag, but I always felt like the
Saturday before Halloween, have at it, do it, go out.
And we used to go to. We used to go to.
There will be dressed up. There was a big party of I
forget where everybody would getdressed up and they would have
prizes and do all of that stuff.Kind of like what I remember
(28:13):
doing, all of that stuff. Some people.
Love to dress up, Yeah. It's great fun.
It's great fun and you try to becreative and you try to win and
do all of that, that stuff. I don't think you need a
separate. No, I don't think you need a
separate thing. Have a party if you want one,
yeah. 2/3 of adults should plan more of their own parties.
That's what basically said Studies or.
(28:34):
Live in a small town where you go out on Halloween and just.
So are you dress up when you walk?
Around wander the streets and pretend that you're watching
your kids while you're peeing inyour neighbor's tree.
OK, I don't do that. Well, I'll bet you do.
Good idea. This is due to underwhelming
(29:14):
demand. It's a podcast.
It's an unsponsored podcast. Yes, and we will guilt you with
that every week until we have a new a new sponsor.
Yes, if you know somebody, if you think you know somebody, if
you would like to really irritate somebody and tell them
anyway, it doesn't really matter.
There are many, you know, we have any all kinds of price
(29:35):
points and you can find out how to sponsor us through our
website. Underwhelming.ca or you can
e-mail us Dave rachelforeman@gmail.com.
I can send you the pricing list or just e-mail us anytime
because we love to hear from you.
We love to get your thoughts on the episodes.
What did you laugh about with us?
You know, what did you laugh with us about?
(29:55):
What did you hate? Maybe like, don't tell us too
much about. That, but what are you doing?
Where you been? Where?
You been where are? You from?
What are you from? What are you calling?
We love all that. Yes, yes.
Ainsley wanted to send a messagedirectly to you, David.
Yes, yes. I want to let you know that the
Bills handed Kansas City City their only lost last season.
(30:17):
Signed a 2007 Taylor fan, not a 2025 fan.
Oh, OK. Oh.
You're not a fan anymore. I don't know.
I'm pretty sure that didn't. Then didn't Kansas City turn
around and then beat them and went to the Super Bowl?
Yeah, I think so. I don't fan just.
Last year, this, yeah. They did.
Kansas City was in the Super Bowl.
(30:38):
They well, yeah, Kansas City gotbeat, yeah.
But they, I think they beat the Bills to get there.
So that's nice. Regular season win, got to win
in the playoffs. I do recall the Bills went
pretty far last season though. Yeah, all the way to Kansas City
and then lost. I do recall Taylor did not enjoy
her time in Buffalo when the Chiefs had to play there in that
playoff game when Jason took a shirt off and went running
(31:00):
around the crowd. Yeah, but he was pretty funny.
Yes, he was. I enjoyed Jason in Buffalo,
that's for sure. That's what Jason Kelsey
actually became a that's when weall went.
We love that guy. That guy.
More of that. Yeah, and he was handing little
children up to meet Taylor. That's cute.
That's great. That's very cute.
(31:22):
OK, We're on TikTok as well. You can follow us at Due to
underwhelming demand is our handle there and we've posted a
video of last week. Red sky at night.
Two birds in the hand and don't beat around the Bush.
Yep. Well, Kendra has commented on
our video and she says red sky at night Sailor's delight.
Red sky in the morning, Sailors take warning.
(31:43):
No, it's not. Thank you, Kendra.
It's not the same. That's.
Not the joke. That's not.
That's not. At all heart your comment
anyway. We like your commentating with
Kendra. Now that you've said that, I get
there must be a freezing rain warning.
Yes, right, speaking a past. Episode Guy in the morning,
freezing rain warning. Up.
Yeah, it's just. I mean, that's just what it is,
(32:04):
Kendra. Sure.
There's no arguing with us. There's just there's no other
option. Yeah.
No, Melissa sent us a message tosay the fart book was absolutely
hilarious, of course. Good.
Farts are funny, and if you say they are not, then you have no
sense of humor. Sure, that's why people write
books about them. I was at the gas station the
(32:27):
other day and some guys phone kept going off.
Oh this must be as an aside. I was at the gas station the
other day and some guys phone kept going off.
His text message notification was Homer Simpsons Doe.
That's funny too. That is funny.
That is good. I would get a little tired of
that after a while, but I do like it.
The guys that did our kitchen this summer, one of them had a
(32:48):
funny ringtone and it, I can't remember what it was, but it was
some sound effect. And I every time it went off, I
laughed a little to myself. You have to, you have to.
I was like, who's this Daddy's like it's mine.
Sorry. I'm like, no, it's hilarious.
It's. Funny you're everybody's up for
silly fun. Sometimes you just got to have
some silly fun. Just like Kimiko enjoys about
this show. Kimiko, another friend of ours,
(33:10):
another parent on the swim team who is brand new to this
podcast. OK.
And starting from the beginning and making her way through all.
Right, good for her. So we'll see how long it takes
you to get to this part. That's a.
Slug, but as she's listening, she's directly texting Ashley
individual comments about different things we've talked
(33:33):
about. I think that's.
A good idea probably has no fucking clue either.
She's just like, what is this about she?
Knows what are. You telling me?
Starting with she and you wants to talk.
She wants to talk about how he looks like Bernard the elf.
I can kind of see it. I'm going to call him that the
(33:53):
next time I see him lol. You do look like Bernard.
The Elf. It looks like Bernard the Elf.
It's almost Bernard the Elf season, by the way, because it's
right after Halloween coming up.Yep, So it begins.
Next message again this is from Kamiko.
Gone out as Bernard the Elf you.Are fucking out and.
You should, I hope there's. I'm going to look that up.
(34:16):
Is there a costume of Bernard the Elf?
And it doesn't. Need a bottle?
For you he. Doesn't need a costume, he just
needs a. Little wig with the like stringy
like the curly kind of straight hair.
Bernard the Elf. All right, costume, keep going
for him. Sorry.
Next message. Again, this is from Kimiko to
(34:36):
Ashley about us. OK.
That says please tell your husband we freeze our butter and
cheese. Thank you.
Thank you. Freezes butter or cheese.
Two of us do. Can we go?
Can we still? Do.
Butter, yeah. It doesn't even need a fridge.
(34:57):
What the hell it? Needs a fridge.
You buy it in the fridge. It can't sit out for that.
It'll go bad after a while. Butter can sit out longer, but
if you leave it out too long it'll mold.
Oh my God yes. So either way, the fridge is
fine for months on end. You don't need to freeze it.
I've got a brick of cheese. Honestly, Brick of cheese New
(35:18):
this week. It is October 2025 and it's not
due to like August 2026. You don't.
Like that's the cheese. OK, I don't freeze cheese
anymore because you guys give mesuch grief about it.
Butter. I still do.
Stop freezing butter. Why would you?
Eat. I do so it.
(35:39):
Keep isn't, so it keep. Then I do because I buy it in.
I buy multiples when it's on sale.
Keep it in the fridge. It can all just be in the.
Fridge. Just put it in the fridge.
You don't need to freeze the whole time, it's not going to
die in the. Fridge still going in the
freezer. Why just I'm not I'm not
(35:59):
debating this anymore. Absolutely no reason it's going
just. Leave it in me and.
Kamiko, thank you very much. Last 1 then.
OK, you're really. Going to love this 10.
Boy, it's all. About me, yes, that says
specifically. Now this girl reads my mind.
She legit clap back about the microwave.
(36:20):
Can I please meet her? She's my favorite, thank you.
Finally somebody. She's my favorite.
That's great, thank you so much.I get nothing from these two
dopes. Finally I have someone who's on
my side. You're freezing your butter.
(36:41):
And calling me a dope. Other people freeze their.
Butter. Who's the lost cause?
It's. Not so weird.
Whoa. I'm going to buy butter when
it's on sale for. Less than 5 bucks because it's
expensive. Yes, and then I freeze it.
Uh huh. Don't pull one out.
At a time and I. Use it.
I cut off the hunk. I put it on the counter in the
(37:02):
butter dish thing. Put it in the fridge.
It's in the fridge when? I take it out of.
The freezer and leave it in the fridge.
Wow, yeah. Thank you.
Kamiko, you can e-mail. US anytime freeze.
Your butter. This is Rhonda, and I just want
(37:25):
to say no offense to you, but I stopped siding with you the day
you told us that the way you puton a bra is the right way.
So I got to I got to agree with Dave on the cheese thing too.
Because I can't listen to you anymore.
Rachel, have a good day, guys. OK, you too.
