• 0:00
  Hi, I'm Jennifer.
• 0:02
  And I'm Cam.
• 0:02
  And you're listening to Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam.
• 0:21
  Jennifer, it's going to be a white Christmas.
• 0:25
  It sure is.
• 0:26
  We had a lot of snow yesterday.
• 0:28
  The roads in beautiful downtown Acheson.
• 0:30
  Not so good.
• 0:30
  Not so good today.
• 0:31
  I don't know what's going on.
• 0:32
  I don't want to complain, because I don't want to sound like a complainer, but I don't think anybody's like plowed or sanded the roads yet.
• 0:41
  Why are you laughing?
• 0:42
  It's true.
• 0:43
  It is true.
• 0:43
  I know, we're a little nervous to say that, but we're just putting it out there.
• 0:47
  But anyway, yesterday we had, I don't know, like a lot of snow.
• 0:51
  I think they said between 15 to 20 centimeters.
• 0:54
  Centimeters, that's right.
• 0:56
  And today, it's sunny.
• 0:58
  For now.
• 0:59
  That's Alberta.
• 1:00
  The day, one day you have a blizzard, and the next day, it's sunny. However, tonight there's supposed to be more.
• 1:04
  Well, it's supposed to snow again tonight.
• 1:06
  But look how beautiful it is out there.
• 1:07
  It is now.
• 1:08
  Anyway, everybody, welcome to a very special edition of Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam.
• 1:14
  And as always, we are coming to you live from The Wall Coffee Roasters in the heart of beautiful downtown Acheson.
• 1:22
  That's right.
• 1:23
  So if you hear some noises in the background, people talking, coffee machines whirring those kinds of things, kids screaming, but there's no kids screaming. It's very quiet here.
• 1:30
  It's very quiet here, and it's very quiet in Acheson.
• 1:33
  I know.
• 1:34
  Downtown Acheson is quiet.
• 1:35
  I think people are on vacation already.
• 1:38
  You know, here, I know people.
• 1:41
  I know why people are on vacation.
• 1:43
  Because today and yesterday, well, yesterday is understandable.
• 1:47
  I went through the Tim Hortons drive-thru, and there was no cars.
• 1:51
  Okay, in Acheson or in Edmonton?
• 1:52
  Well, that was Edmonton.
• 1:53
  Okay.
• 1:53
  Yeah.
• 1:54
  That's rare.
• 1:55
  But I went right through, like there was nobody in front of me.
• 1:58
  Like the people at the window actually wanted to talk.
• 2:00
  I didn't really want to talk, but there was no cars.
• 2:02
  So it was like they were bored because there was no cars.
• 2:04
  And didn't you go out shopping?
• 2:07
  I did yesterday.
• 2:07
  I went yesterday.
• 2:08
  I did.
• 2:09
  I went shopping.
• 2:10
  Well, I didn't go shopping, shopping.
• 2:12
  I went to the supermarket shopping.
• 2:14
  But you said even that was quiet.
• 2:15
  The ladies at the supermarket, the Italian Center, one of my favorite store.
• 2:19
  I thought I'd venture to the Italian Center, Teresa Spinelli.
• 2:22
  I love the Italian Center.
• 2:24
  And I walked in, and you could like shoot a cannon through there.
• 2:26
  There was nobody in there.
• 2:28
  And the nice Italian lady, nobody here.
• 2:30
  Where's everybody?
• 2:31
  And I'm like, it's the weather.
• 2:32
  It must be the weather.
• 2:33
  So, but it's just it was, yeah.
• 2:37
  I would really not like to go out this weekend.
• 2:40
  This is the last weekend before Christmas.
• 2:42
  That's right.
• 2:43
  If you go to the mall this weekend, you deserve a medal because it's going to be nuts.
• 2:49
  Everywhere.
• 2:50
  Everywhere.
• 2:51
  But the mall, the mall will be crazy.
• 2:53
  You have to, what you do is you go get your parking spot at 7 a.m.
• 2:57
  Hey, listen, go through Timmy's, get your coffee.
• 3:00
  Go to Tim's, get your coffee.
• 3:01
  Sit in the parking lot and wait.
• 3:02
  At 7 a.m.
• 3:03
  The stores open at 10.
• 3:05
  Yes.
• 3:05
  So three hours.
• 3:06
  Take a blanket and a pillow.
• 3:07
  It's when you hope you don't have to go to the bathroom.
• 3:08
  Exactly.
• 3:09
  But I think the mall, the mall itself is kind of open.
• 3:11
  You just can't get in the stores.
• 3:12
  You just can't go in the stores.
• 3:13
  But it's going to be, so if you haven't done your Christmas shopping yet, well, again, we're airing the, we're recording this pre- Pre-Christmas.
• 3:21
  So we're dropping this on New Year's Day.
• 3:23
  You will be listening to this, hopefully, sitting around New Year's Day.
• 3:27
  Right.
• 3:28
  So that's when we're, but it's because today we're doing something very special.
• 3:31
  We're doing some of the best ofs, I guess.
• 3:36
  It's a bit of a review for us.
• 3:38
  A review.
• 3:39
  Yeah.
• 3:39
  And to thank you, our amazing listeners.
• 3:42
  I know.
• 3:43
  Unbelievable.
• 3:44
  You know, we found out some amazing stats about our listenership.
• 3:49
  We sure did.
• 3:50
  Do you want to share some of those stats?
• 3:51
  Because they were pretty incredible, actually.
• 3:53
  Well, first of all, Cam, we found out the age demographic that listens to Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam.
• 3:58
  This one surprised us.
• 3:59
  Yeah.
• 4:00
  Because I don't know why.
• 4:01
  I thought it was like 18 year olds, but I'm like way off.
• 4:04
  We're not cool.
• 4:05
  No, we're not cool.
• 4:07
  No, don't say that.
• 4:08
  We're just in a different...
• 4:10
  We're cool in a different demographic.
• 4:11
  Different demographic.
• 4:12
  We're different demographic cool.
• 4:15
  We're not cool with my 13 year old son, I'll tell you that.
• 4:16
  No, that's.
• 4:17
  No.
• 4:18
  So, our demographic is...
• 4:20
  Age 45 to 65 plus.
• 4:22
  Yeah, plus.
• 4:25
  Plus.
• 4:26
  We don't know how many pluses, but we know there's a lot of 45 to 65s, which is really great.
• 4:31
  I think that's fantastic.
• 4:32
  I think that's amazing.
• 4:32
  Yeah, because you and I both fit in that category.
• 4:35
  And like I said, I'll admit, I thought maybe, just maybe, we might have...
• 4:41
  I thought, but I guess not.
• 4:43
  I've lost my cool with the 18 year olds.
• 4:45
  I'm afraid so.
• 4:46
  Yeah.
• 4:47
  So anyway, our demographic is 45 to 65.
• 4:51
  And I'm excited about that.
• 4:52
  And that's fantastic.
• 4:54
  Thank you for listening to that.
• 4:55
  Over 15,000 plus listeners.
• 4:57
  Yes.
• 4:58
  Amazing.
• 4:58
  All over the world.
• 4:59
  All over the world.
• 5:00
  Everywhere.
• 5:00
  I still don't think we have any listeners in the Antarctic.
• 5:05
  Not that we know of.
• 5:06
  Is it Antarctic or Antarctica?
• 5:07
  I don't know, but we don't have any listeners there.
• 5:10
  No.
• 5:11
  No.
• 5:11
  And the majority of our listenership is in Canada.
• 5:14
  That's right.
• 5:15
  With a lot of them being...
• 5:16
  Well, yeah.
• 5:17
  And so, that's why we talk about Alberta a lot, because wherever you're listening to us, we are here in Acheson, Alberta, in Canada, and the heart of the winter wonderland is where we are.
• 5:31
  But yeah, so yeah, it's pretty fascinating how many cities in the world we have people listening to us.
• 5:36
  Over 400, or actually, I think even close to 500 plus cities now.
• 5:39
  500 cities.
• 5:40
  Pretty amazing.
• 5:42
  I think that's pretty incredible.
• 5:43
  I'm just always curious, how do these people find our podcast?
• 5:47
  And why do you choose to listen?
• 5:48
  Yeah, that's right.
• 5:50
  Last I read, there was 5 million podcasts.
• 5:53
  It's amazing how many podcasts are out there.
• 5:56
  And we're, this is, I think for us, around episode, I think Hannah said around 85 or something.
• 6:03
  Something like that.
• 6:04
  So, like, we've done a lot when you think about it.
• 6:06
  85 episodes, that's 85 weeks.
• 6:10
  I don't know, what does that translate to?
• 6:11
  Well, most podcasts don't last.
• 6:13
  No, they don't.
• 6:14
  They just don't.
• 6:15
  That's because people start, and they're all excited.
• 6:18
  Yeah, we know some of these.
• 6:19
  We won't name you.
• 6:20
  But they get all excited, and they start a podcast, and they do three, and then they get busy.
• 6:25
  It's a lot of work.
• 6:26
  Yeah, and they get busy, and they don't do it anymore for a while.
• 6:29
  And then they come back to it like two months later, but they wonder why people aren't really listening.
• 6:35
  No.
• 6:36
  Because you got to be consistent.
• 6:37
  And I think for us, I hope people know and trust us that we're going to be there every week.
• 6:42
  Every week.
• 6:43
  Every week we're there.
• 6:44
  Rain or shine or snow or that's all we have numbered is rain or shine or snow.
• 6:51
  Sometimes tornadoes.
• 6:52
  Yeah, but yeah.
• 6:53
  We might not be here for that.
• 6:55
  Not in Acheson.
• 6:55
  No.
• 6:56
  But Cam, I want to share, because I think this is so cool, and I wish other platforms did this.
• 7:01
  For those that listen on Spotify, Spotify comes out with a Spotify Wrapped.
• 7:06
  That's right.
• 7:07
  They did the whole thing on us.
• 7:08
  They did.
• 7:09
  And it was really cool to see some of those results.
• 7:11
  Well, tell us some of those results.
• 7:14
  So now this might not sound like a lot for some podcasters, but for us, this was a huge deal.
• 7:21
  Yeah.
• 7:22
  So we are the number one podcast, which means these people listen to every single episode and continue to listen to every single episode for 29 people.
• 7:33
  That's amazing.
• 7:33
  I know.
• 7:34
  That's incredible, actually.
• 7:35
  That really is.
• 7:36
  Every single episode.
• 7:38
  I can name some of those people.
• 7:40
  Some I have no idea.
• 7:41
  Right?
• 7:41
  We don't know.
• 7:42
  Yeah.
• 7:43
  If you're an every podcast episode listener, drop us a note on our website.
• 7:50
  Or on Spotify.
• 7:51
  Yeah, on Spotify.
• 7:52
  If you're listening to us, that's just Spotify.
• 7:53
  That's just Spotify.
• 7:54
  So we should tell people, because some people still think podcasts are on the radio.
• 8:00
  Yes, they're not.
• 8:00
  They're not.
• 8:01
  So the major platforms are Spotify, Apple.
• 8:06
  I'm an Apple girl.
• 8:07
  Me too.
• 8:07
  Yeah.
• 8:08
  Well, I'm not an Apple girl.
• 8:09
  I'm an Apple guy.
• 8:10
  Want to make that very clear.
• 8:14
  Is Buzzsprout?
• 8:15
  Well, Buzzsprout is our platform.
• 8:17
  Is our platform.
• 8:18
  So there's all these platforms.
• 8:20
  And plus, people can go to our Coffee In The Park website.
• 8:24
  And listen directly from there.
• 8:25
  Download and listen directly from there.
• 8:26
  That's right.
• 8:27
  So what you're telling us is just Spotify.
• 8:30
  Just Spotify figures.
• 8:31
  Unfortunately, Apple does not come out with something this cool, which, listen, Apple...
• 8:35
  We'd like to talk to Apple about that.
• 8:36
  I would, because why wouldn't you?
• 8:37
  Who's in charge over there now?
• 8:38
  I don't know.
• 8:39
  Tim Cook.
• 8:40
  But I hear he's stepping down.
• 8:41
  But anyway, Tim, if you're listening...
• 8:44
  Can you do this?
• 8:45
  If Spotify can figure this out.
• 8:47
  Tim might be one of the 29 consistent listeners.
• 8:50
  I doubt it.
• 8:51
  I do too, but just in case.
• 8:54
  See, this is it.
• 8:54
  You just don't know.
• 8:55
  I guess you just don't know, because we can't track that on Apple, so maybe he is.
• 8:58
  We can't.
• 8:58
  So that's why I'm saying, if you're one of the 29, let us know.
• 9:02
  And I would love to just get an email from Tim Cook, because I have some questions.
• 9:07
  The real one, not a fake one.
• 9:09
  No, don't pretend to be Tim Cook.
• 9:12
  We'll find you out.
• 9:13
  Anyway, okay.
• 9:14
  Okay, I've got some more stats.
• 9:15
  All right.
• 9:15
  Yeah, because this is to me amazing, Cam.
• 9:17
  Yeah.
• 9:18
  So on Spotify, we increased 100% of our followers this year.
• 9:23
  Wow.
• 9:24
  And 106% listeners.
• 9:27
  Wow.
• 9:29
  100% followers.
• 9:30
  Yeah.
• 9:30
  And 106% listeners.
• 9:32
  Yeah.
• 9:33
  I wasn't very good at math, so I don't really.
• 9:35
  This is just what Spotify is telling me.
• 9:37
  And we were named a 2025 rising star and a 2025 talked about show.
• 9:44
  Oh, come on.
• 9:45
  I'm serious.
• 9:46
  Are you serious?
• 9:47
  Yeah, we're like a rising star and a talked about show.
• 9:50
  Yeah.
• 9:51
  Wow.
• 9:51
  That's pretty great.
• 9:53
  No, that blows me away.
• 9:54
  Like, is it talked about show?
• 9:56
  Does that mean like people at parties and stuff are talking about?
• 9:59
  Hey, did you listen to Coffee In The Park this week?
• 10:01
  I think that's pretty cool.
• 10:02
  Okay, but listen. How often do we go anywhere anymore that people at least don't know who we are?
• 10:05
  No, that is true.
• 10:06
  At least in Edmonton.
• 10:08
  Maybe not other areas, but Edmonton.
• 10:10
  We're a little different than a lot of podcasts in there.
• 10:13
  We don't do video.
• 10:14
  No, we don't.
• 10:15
  We don't want to. No.
• 10:16
  We're happy what we're doing, but we do little videos sometimes.
• 10:20
  Not as many as I like.
• 10:21
  We should do more of those because they're fun.
• 10:23
  But anyways, but yeah, we get stopped, and people like say, hey, you're like on that podcast.
• 10:28
  I know.
• 10:29
  We're at an event and people introduce it.
• 10:31
  We introduce ourselves and they go, you're the people from the podcast.
• 10:33
  That's right.
• 10:35
  I know.
• 10:35
  I like that.
• 10:36
  It's kind of amazing.
• 10:37
  I know.
• 10:37
  I'm not letting it go to my head.
• 10:38
  I'm still trying to...
• 10:39
  Sometimes he is.
• 10:40
  No, sometimes he is.
• 10:44
  Listen.
• 10:45
  I'm kidding.
• 10:47
  It just bothers me when the chauffeur is not there when we're leaving, like if the driver's not there.
• 10:51
  Where's our security team?
• 10:52
  Exactly.
• 10:54
  Podcast has left the building.
• 10:55
  That's all I'm saying.
• 10:57
  It's a goal for 2026.
• 10:59
  It's a goal for 2026.
• 11:01
  We'll get security and a full-time driver.
• 11:05
  I'd like one of those blacked out SUVs.
• 11:06
  Yeah.
• 11:08
  I'd give it all up for a full-time chef, but that's I'm just saying.
• 11:13
  But anyway, we don't let it go to our head.
• 11:16
  Because actually, I'm humbled by that.
• 11:17
  I am too.
• 11:18
  The fact that people actually take the time to listen to us kind of blows me away.
• 11:22
  I know.
• 11:22
  Because we're like, who are we?
• 11:23
  Who are we?
• 11:24
  We're like in downtown Acheson.
• 11:27
  That's what we are.
• 11:28
  That's who we are.
• 11:30
  I think it's our guests.
• 11:31
  We have fantastic guests.
• 11:33
  We do.
• 11:33
  And I'm excited to talk about some of those amazing guests that we've had this past year, Cam.
• 11:37
  We've had some incredible guests.
• 11:39
  You know what?
• 11:39
  When we were looking at the list, I was kind of blown away.
• 11:41
  I know.
• 11:42
  I have the list in front of me right now, and I'm like, come on.
• 11:46
  So when we kind of went to a new format, and one of our first guests in the new format was Gene Principe. From hockey...
• 11:56
  Gene is amazing, sports net.
• 11:58
  Sports net, and does Edmonton hockey.
• 12:00
  And he's awesome.
• 12:03
  I love Gene.
• 12:03
  Gene's one of the most down-to-earth, nicest guys.
• 12:06
  Yeah, he was just incredible.
• 12:07
  I really like him.
• 12:08
  He was just awesome.
• 12:10
  And so kind to be our first guest on the new format of the podcast.
• 12:14
  That's right.
• 12:14
  So if you're ever watching an Oilers hockey game, Gene Principe will be on there, and he's amazing.
• 12:21
  And then we had Josh Classen, the weatherman.
• 12:25
  CTV Chief Meteorologist.
• 12:27
  Chief Meteorologist, Josh Classen, Meteorologist, and rapper.
• 12:31
  Yes.
• 12:32
  And he rapped.
• 12:33
  I know.
• 12:34
  He did.
• 12:34
  He did a little rapping.
• 12:34
  He sure did.
• 12:35
  That was amazing.
• 12:37
  And then, this was, I'm going to be honest, this was one of my all-time, all-time favorites.
• 12:43
  The guest was great.
• 12:44
  And then we went and we did a video, was Jesse Kraay from the Edmonton Corn Maze.
• 12:49
  Yes, the owner of, sorry, co-owner of the Corn Maze.
• 12:53
  And he talked all about corn mazes and how you do a corn maze.
• 12:56
  I learned a lot.
• 12:56
  No, there was.
• 12:57
  I was amazed.
• 12:58
  Like, I just thought you like cut paths in corn.
• 13:02
  I still don't like corn mazes.
• 13:03
  I'm sorry.
• 13:04
  But we went there, you and I, and we filmed some videos.
• 13:07
  We did, but I didn't go through the maze.
• 13:08
  You didn't.
• 13:09
  No, I didn't that day.
• 13:11
  I feel like it could be a true crime podcast.
• 13:13
  Like, you're going to get murdered in the corn maze.
• 13:15
  What happened to Jennifer in the corn maze?
• 13:17
  Check it out on the next edition of Coffee In The Park with Cam, because Jennifer's gone. Maybe.
• 13:23
  Anyways, all right.
• 13:24
  So and then we had Dave van Leeuwen from Ben's Meats.
• 13:29
  Ben's Meats, an Edmonton institution.
• 13:32
  An Edmonton institution.
• 13:33
  Now, Cam, he told us that Ben's Meats has been around when it was...
• 13:40
  In Jasper.
• 13:42
  On Jasper Ave.
• 13:43
  No, no, no.
• 13:43
  On Stony Plain.
• 13:44
  Yeah, Jasper townsite.
• 13:46
  It was in its own townsite.
• 13:47
  It wasn't part of Edmonton yet.
• 13:48
  No, it wasn't yet.
• 13:48
  It was little Jasper thingamadooie.
• 13:50
  And then it joined Edmonton.
• 13:51
  Yeah.
• 13:52
  Yeah.
• 13:52
  And he's awesome.
• 13:54
  I'm getting my turkey from them.
• 13:56
  You always get your turkey from them.
• 13:57
  Yeah.
• 13:57
  Getting my turkey for Christmas.
• 13:58
  24-pounder.
• 13:59
  Got to pick that up.
• 14:00
  And you know what?
• 14:01
  They moved to a beautiful new facility from Stony Plain Road to 184th Street.
• 14:06
  Is that where it is?
• 14:07
  I just go.
• 14:08
  I drive there.
• 14:08
  I never know the address.
• 14:09
  I just, my GPS just takes me there.
• 14:11
  Anyway, that's a great...
• 14:12
  And we ate there.
• 14:13
  We went and had a sandwich there.
• 14:14
  It was pretty good.
• 14:15
  It was good.
• 14:16
  Then we had Minister Nate Glubish, the rocker.
• 14:21
  He got really...
• 14:23
  It was the most excited I saw when he started talking about the rock band.
• 14:27
  I know.
• 14:28
  He's a pretty straight guy.
• 14:29
  He's a pretty level guy.
• 14:31
  But when he got talking about his rock band, it was like he let his hair down again.
• 14:35
  He did have long hair, but he cut it off.
• 14:36
  We kind of want...
• 14:37
  We didn't put that picture up.
• 14:38
  No, we were going to put that picture with him and long hair.
• 14:41
  But no, that...
• 14:42
  And so he was great.
• 14:43
  And then we had Dan Cote-Rosen from Flat Boy Burgers.
• 14:47
  Yes, and OEG.
• 14:49
  And OEG, Oilers Entertainment Group, Marketing guy.
• 14:52
  And he talked about how he started Flat Boy Burgers during COVID in his kitchen.
• 14:59
  And now, in my opinion, others may disagree, but in my opinion, best flat burger, best...
• 15:04
  What do you call it?
• 15:05
  Smash burger.
• 15:06
  Best smash burger you can get in the city of Edmonton.
• 15:08
  And I hear they're opening another one in Calgary.
• 15:10
  And this is pretty awesome.
• 15:11
  Dan's a great guy.
• 15:12
  Great guy.
• 15:13
  And he was a lot of fun.
• 15:14
  And we'll be interviewing...
• 15:17
  Next year, where they are, where Flat Boy Burgers is, is in...
• 15:22
  Shiddy's.
• 15:24
  Shiddy's.
• 15:25
  Well, part of Sea Change Brewery.
• 15:26
  Part of Sea Change Brewery.
• 15:27
  We're going to have the Sea Change Brewery people on.
• 15:29
  That'll be great, because that's a great story.
• 15:30
  Fascinating story.
• 15:31
  Yeah, fascinating.
• 15:32
  And then we had, we had radio, internet host extraordinaire, Ryan Jespersen.
• 15:40
  Who doesn't know Ryan Jespersen?
• 15:41
  Listen, yeah, he's everywhere.
• 15:42
  He's every...
• 15:43
  He's big. He is! He's like...
• 15:44
  He makes us look like a little, tiny goldfish in the ocean.
• 15:49
  And again, we're so thankful, Cam, that these people have said yes to being on our little podcast.
• 15:56
  Like, he's got thousands and thousands and thousands of listeners, and he took the time to come on our podcast. He sure did.
• 16:03
  And that was really...
• 16:03
  And he's great.
• 16:04
  He was great.
• 16:04
  He is a great guy.
• 16:05
  He was awesome.
• 16:06
  And then we had Dr.
• 16:06
  Randy Gregg.
• 16:07
  Yes.
• 16:07
  He was cool.
• 16:08
  Now, he made fun of Cam's height.
• 16:11
  Yeah, well, I can't help it that he's like 6'12, and I'm like 4'3.
• 16:15
  It was kind of funny.
• 16:16
  Yeah, whatever.
• 16:18
  But he was a great guest.
• 16:19
  Oh, yeah.
• 16:19
  Amazing story.
• 16:20
  And he's a real doctor, and an Oiler, and a Stanley Cup winner, and played on the Olympic team.
• 16:26
  That's right.
• 16:26
  Everything.
• 16:27
  And then we had, oh, okay, I'm just going to say it right now.
• 16:32
  I love all our guests.
• 16:33
  I love all our guests, but this was amazing.
• 16:37
  We talked to Geoff Cummer from West Edmonton Mall, the penguin.
• 16:43
  The marine life.
• 16:44
  The marine life guy.
• 16:45
  We went to the mall, and we did the show with Geoff.
• 16:49
  We did.
• 16:49
  And then we got to hang out with the penguin.
• 16:52
  Yes.
• 16:52
  Rocket.
• 16:53
  But tell everybody what that led to.
• 16:55
  Well, what that led to was last week here at Genics, the company I work for, I helped arrange the children's Christmas party, and we brought in the penguin for the kids! Did you know, listeners, that you can have the penguins come to you?
• 17:10
  They'll come.
• 17:11
  You got to...
• 17:11
  Well, only in Edmonton.
• 17:13
  Yes.
• 17:13
  Like if you live like in Tokyo, I don't think they're coming.
• 17:16
  Calgary, sorry you're out. No, Calgary, you're out.
• 17:17
  But yeah.
• 17:18
  So no, he brought two penguins with him last Sunday, and the kids got to hang out with the penguins.
• 17:24
  But we got to go to the mall and meet Rocket, and we were lucky.
• 17:30
  I was lucky.
• 17:31
  I don't think I was supposed to, but when we were at the mall, I actually petted Rocket.
• 17:35
  You're not really supposed to, because he wouldn't let the kids pet him when he's here.
• 17:39
  No, but we were allowed to. But we got to.
• 17:42
  That one still blows me away.
• 17:44
  That was just amazing.
• 17:45
  And then we had Azari...
• 17:49
  Aariz.
• 17:50
  Mawji.
• 17:50
  Mawji.
• 17:51
  Yes.
• 17:51
  Amazing kid.
• 17:52
  15 years old.
• 17:53
  How old?
• 17:53
  15.
• 17:54
  And he's doing this amazing fundraiser for cancer.
• 17:57
  The Ben Stelter School Fundraiser.
• 17:59
  And lately, they've just, I've seen, I've been following their social media.
• 18:02
  They're raising like big dollars for cancer.
• 18:06
  It's amazing.
• 18:07
  And he's an amazing kid.
• 18:09
  Smart, articulate.
• 18:11
  That was a great, great podcast.
• 18:12
  Our youngest podcast guest, at 15.
• 18:15
  Yup.
• 18:15
  And then we had, we had Jon Alexander.
• 18:20
  Alexander?
• 18:21
  Yes, Alexander.
• 18:22
  We, Canadian veteran from the Canadian Armed Forces for Remembrance Day.
• 18:25
  November 11th.
• 18:26
  For Remembrance Day.
• 18:27
  He served in Afghanistan.
• 18:28
  What a great story.
• 18:29
  Young guy, just brilliant.
• 18:31
  And served our country, and just really appreciated him and his story.
• 18:36
  And yeah, it was really great.
• 18:38
  Really, in case you're wondering what that is, that's the mop bucket going by.
• 18:43
  Because we've told you, we're live at the coffee shop.
• 18:46
  Like there's, one never knows what's going on, and that's the mop bucket.
• 18:50
  I don't think we've ever, I don't think in the history of the podcast, we've ever had the mop bucket go by.
• 18:56
  That's a first.
• 18:57
  We should have taken a photo.
• 18:57
  We should have taken a photo of the mop bucket.
• 19:00
  Seriously.
• 19:02
  Put it on the website.
• 19:03
  Hey, what's going on at the coffee shop?
• 19:05
  The mop bucket is going by.
• 19:09
  That's just the greatest.
• 19:11
  I love it.
• 19:11
  Anyways, okay.
• 19:15
  If you heard that, I'm not sure what that is.
• 19:17
  The chair moving.
• 19:18
  So now we have mop bucket, chairs moving, just like unbelievable.
• 19:23
  Oh, it's coming.
• 19:24
  It's on its way back.
• 19:28
  The mop bucket is returning.
• 19:30
  This is like, Brennan's waving as he walks.
• 19:34
  This is, that's it.
• 19:35
  We're taking a picture of the mop bucket and putting it on.
• 19:38
  I think we will.
• 19:38
  We will, because people don't believe us.
• 19:41
  Sounds like a train going by.
• 19:43
  Anyway, OK, then after Jon, oh, then we did our Pet Peeves 2.
• 19:47
  Pet Peeves Part 2.
• 19:48
  Part 2.
• 19:48
  Yeah, that was great.
• 19:49
  Yes.
• 19:50
  That was awesome.
• 19:51
  Where we talked about our Pet Peeves.
• 19:52
  Well, nobody returning their shopping cart at this time of year.
• 19:56
  I'm just going to say the other day I pulled into, I know this isn't our Pet Peeves show, but I pull, the other literally the other day I pulled into a stall at Costco, wheeled into it and had to hit the binder breaks because somebody left the cart.
• 20:09
  That's what I'm saying.
• 20:11
  People, just put the cart back.
• 20:13
  I know it takes an extra 37 seconds.
• 20:17
  Get your steps in. Get your steps! Just do it.
• 20:18
  It's, it's, I know.
• 20:20
  I know.
• 20:21
  Anyway, OK, then after, oh, then we had Jordan Baker from the Edmonton Stingers.
• 20:25
  Yes.
• 20:25
  Now that guy was tall.
• 20:27
  He's a basketball player.
• 20:28
  Is he taller than Randy Gregg?
• 20:29
  Oh, I think so.
• 20:30
  I don't know.
• 20:31
  Yeah, no, I don't know. Their about the same height.
• 20:32
  I know.
• 20:33
  All I know is I had to look up. 6'8?
• 20:34
  Yeah.
• 20:35
  Way up.
• 20:36
  Friendly giant.
• 20:37
  Way up.
• 20:38
  And he was cool.
• 20:38
  He was a cool guy.
• 20:40
  Then we had an amazing guest.
• 20:42
  Absolutely amazing.
• 20:44
  This guy was unbelievable.
• 20:45
  He's a legend in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and that was Mark Connolly.
• 20:51
  Oh, the golden voice of radio.
• 20:53
  He was amazing.
• 20:55
  And he did radio, and he did...
• 20:57
  The Olympics, Cam The Olympics.
• 20:59
  He called, what did he, 12 Olympics.
• 21:01
  12 Olympics.
• 21:02
  Cycling.
• 21:02
  Cycling and sledding.
• 21:03
  All the sledding.
• 21:04
  Cycling and sledding.
• 21:05
  Yes.
• 21:06
  Oh, look, there's little Scotty Ray over there.
• 21:08
  Just came in.
• 21:09
  That's Michael, who owns the coffee shop.
• 21:11
  Scotty Ray is his little daughter.
• 21:13
  And Brooksie, his son and grandpa all just came in.
• 21:17
  Here they go.
• 21:18
  Hi, Brooksie.
• 21:18
  Oh, Brooksie.
• 21:19
  Good to see you, buddy.
• 21:20
  He's waving at us.
• 21:22
  Again.
• 21:22
  Okay, he's got little glasses, and he's the cutest little guy.
• 21:24
  He's the cutest, Brooksie.
• 21:25
  Son of, like, Michael Wall.
• 21:27
  Son of Michael Wall, owner of Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 21:30
  And see, today's just a laid back show.
• 21:33
  There's just lots going on in the coffee shop that sometimes we don't normally talk.
• 21:37
  We should do a show just on the life of the coffee shop. Oh boy! That would be...
• 21:40
  What a show that would be.
• 21:41
  That would be quite...
• 21:42
  Okay.
• 21:43
  Then after Mark Connolly, we had Lori Patrick from Adeara.
• 21:46
  Oh, Lori, you know, Cam, you and I are so passionate about not-for-profits, and these guests have all been great, but Lori's story just touched my heart.
• 21:59
  The work that Adeara does for women, in recovery, who get to keep their children with them during their recovery period, one of the very, very few places that allow children to be with the women in recovery.
• 22:13
  And Lori's story in itself was amazing, and she was funny, and yet the work she does is absolutely incredible.
• 22:22
  Wonderful person.
• 22:23
  Yeah.
• 22:23
  And I think some of you, I bet, after that show, reached out, maybe helped Adeara a little bit.
• 22:28
  Thank you for doing that.
• 22:29
  That was kind of cool.
• 22:30
  And then our last guest, the last one we've had is Chef Shane Chartrand.
• 22:36
  Yes.
• 22:37
  Yeah.
• 22:37
  And he was awesome.
• 22:38
  That was an unexpected twist.
• 22:41
  He was the chef on Top Chef Canada.
• 22:43
  Top Chef Canada, a couple of times.
• 22:45
  Yes.
• 22:46
  Once as a judge and as a contestant.
• 22:47
  Once as a judge and then as a contestant, and then another show after that.
• 22:50
  I think Iron Chef.
• 22:51
  Iron Chef.
• 22:52
  And then he traveled all over the world, being a chef.
• 22:55
  All over the world. He went all over.
• 22:56
  He is very passionate about cooking indigenous cuisine.
• 23:00
  He was amazing.
• 23:01
  He was.
• 23:01
  And to hear his story and where he's come from and what he's doing and his passion for food.
• 23:07
  Oh, so passionate for food.
• 23:09
  So looking back on these guests, it's pretty incredible.
• 23:14
  Pretty incredible.
• 23:15
  We've had, this is how I've been putting it lately.
• 23:18
  We've had some famous and not so famous.
• 23:21
  And they all, no matter what, they all have amazing stories.
• 23:24
  Because that is the point of this podcast, is everybody has a story.
• 23:28
  Right.
• 23:28
  The story behind the story.
• 23:29
  We always say that.
• 23:30
  That's what it's about.
• 23:31
  And this past year has been absolutely incredible.
• 23:36
  And we've been able to meet, we've been able to meet great people.
• 23:39
  We've been able to do great things, like going to the corn maze, like going to West Edmonton Mall.
• 23:45
  Like those are all cool things that we got to do.
• 23:48
  And then we do our little videos every now and then, and that's kind of cool.
• 23:51
  And so it's pretty amazing.
• 23:53
  It is.
• 23:54
  And we, people wonder, and I have people, do you do this?
• 23:57
  They know we don't do it in a studio.
• 23:58
  We do it in a coffee shop.
• 24:00
  And we set this up every time.
• 24:02
  Every week we do this, we come in and set up all the recording stuff.
• 24:05
  And Michael and the staff here, they're nice enough to let us do this.
• 24:08
  Shout out to the staff at the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 24:10
  Shout out to the staff at the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 24:13
  Even though they bring their bucket by, in the middle, the on air sign is on.
• 24:18
  That's all I'm saying is, we purposely have an on air sign, folks.
• 24:22
  You've probably seen it in our picture.
• 24:23
  So people know we're actually recording.
• 24:26
  And I don't know what it was.
• 24:28
  Obviously a flood or an emergency of some...
• 24:31
  Don't say that about the coffee shop.
• 24:33
  No, we don't want a flood at the coffee shop.
• 24:35
  Somebody tipped over their latte or something, and it was a floor emergency.
• 24:40
  Yes.
• 24:40
  And so, yeah, just say, but they're amazing.
• 24:43
  And they're very generous to us.
• 24:44
  They put up with us every week.
• 24:47
  We reserve the table.
• 24:49
  Well, we got in a little trouble.
• 24:50
  I got in trouble today because the last two reservations we didn't fulfill.
• 24:55
  And so, like, we have to work on that.
• 24:59
  We'll have, in our next production meeting, that will be a topic of conversation.
• 25:03
  Do you know who else we should thank?
• 25:04
  Who?
• 25:04
  Hannah.
• 25:05
  Hannah, our producer.
• 25:08
  Hannah.
• 25:09
  Hannah Banana from Havana.
• 25:11
  She's not from Havana, but I call her that.
• 25:13
  She's awesome.
• 25:15
  She keeps us on track.
• 25:17
  She does all the...
• 25:18
  People don't think...
• 25:19
  I think people think we just come here, sit down, and people show up.
• 25:23
  Oh, look, there's Mark Connolly.
• 25:24
  Come over here and be on our show.
• 25:26
  Or there's Ryan Jesperson.
• 25:27
  Come be on our show. Oh my gosh.
• 25:29
  That's not how it works.
• 25:29
  If she wasn't coordinating our calendars, I don't know where we'd be.
• 25:33
  I'll tell you where we'd be.
• 25:36
  We wouldn't have a podcast, because especially me.
• 25:39
  You're good.
• 25:40
  You're really good.
• 25:42
  I reach out to people, and I invite them to be a guest, and they say yes, and I forget to tell you.
• 25:47
  Cam and I have had a little chat about this, and I've taken guest privileges away from him.
• 25:52
  He's not allowed to reach out anymore.
• 25:53
  Because I go on binges.
• 25:55
  I send like 30 letters, just boom, out to everybody.
• 25:58
  It's too much.
• 25:58
  And like 25 say yes, and I forget to tell you.
• 26:00
  I know.
• 26:01
  It doesn't go well.
• 26:02
  No, it doesn't go well.
• 26:03
  And so Hannah does an amazing job for us, and we really appreciate her.
• 26:09
  Yes, we do.
• 26:09
  And again, we honestly, we have a weekly, you and I have a weekly production meeting, where we talk about the podcast and all facets of the podcast.
• 26:19
  And that brings me to, I think, our next topic, which we wouldn't be able to do what we do without these people, and that's our sponsors.
• 26:28
  100%.
• 26:29
  We have sponsors.
• 26:30
  We have two wonderful, amazing sponsors.
• 26:33
  Our first one, Wing Snob.
• 26:35
  Wing Snob.
• 26:35
  Mike Chadi.
• 26:37
  I hope you're, I'm going to phone Mike and tell him to listen to this, because I'm giving him a shout out.
• 26:41
  Mike Chadi from Wingsnob.
• 26:43
  Amazing.
• 26:44
  You know, Cam, he has believed in us from day one.
• 26:46
  Day one.
• 26:47
  He's been our biggest supporter.
• 26:48
  Do you remember when we went, he was our guest way back in the early days.
• 26:53
  Yes.
• 26:54
  I like being able to say in the early days of the podcast.
• 26:57
  In the early days of the podcast.
• 26:59
  In the early days of the podcast.
• 27:01
  He was one of our, I think like our third guest.
• 27:03
  Yeah, I think so.
• 27:04
  Anyway, remember, remember when we asked Mike, would you want to sponsor us?
• 27:08
  He didn't.
• 27:09
  He didn't hesitate.
• 27:09
  He didn't blink an eye.
• 27:10
  He just, absolutely.
• 27:12
  And so he came on board and with Wing Snob, his amazing franchise of wings.
• 27:20
  Because they're fresh, never frozen, Cam.
• 27:21
  Fresh, never frozen.
• 27:23
  16 flavors, 4 rubs, 10 stores in the city of Edmonton.
• 27:28
  One in Calgary now.
• 27:28
  One in Calgary.
• 27:30
  And I hear one's opening up, I think in Grand Prairie.
• 27:32
  I've heard that.
• 27:32
  And so Wingsnob is absolutely amazing.
• 27:35
  And we also do our special segment every month, Flavor Of The Month.
• 27:39
  Flavor Of The Month is great.
• 27:40
  With Mike.
• 27:41
  Yes.
• 27:41
  He's amazing.
• 27:42
  He is.
• 27:42
  So, you know, without Wing Snob, Mike, you just, thanks man for being there.
• 27:47
  And you're always asking.
• 27:49
  If we're doing an event, can I bring wings?
• 27:52
  Absolutely.
• 27:53
  Yes, you can.
• 27:54
  Absolutely.
• 27:55
  Cause they're the best.
• 27:57
  We are serious when we say these are the best wings you will ever have.
• 28:00
  I was out at someone's house the other night, and we had pizza and wings from Wing Snob.
• 28:07
  And they phoned me ahead of time and said, what are your favorite flavors?
• 28:10
  I said, I like the mango habanero.
• 28:13
  I like the buffalo.
• 28:14
  I like the parmesan.
• 28:16
  And I forget what the other one.
• 28:17
  I got four choice.
• 28:18
  I forget what the other one.
• 28:19
  Anyway, amazing.
• 28:21
  But you said pizza.
• 28:22
  They don't have pizza at Wing Snob.
• 28:23
  No, no.
• 28:24
  They went to another pizza place.
• 28:25
  Let's clarify this.
• 28:26
  That's right.
• 28:27
  They don't go into Wing Snob.
• 28:28
  And say, where's the pizza?
• 28:29
  But I will say this.
• 28:30
  I didn't really eat the pizza, but I ate the wings.
• 28:32
  Oh, how can you not?
• 28:33
  Amazing.
• 28:34
  And then I dip them in that parmesan dip.
• 28:36
  And I'm telling you folks, it's like dying and going to heaven for a few minutes.
• 28:40
  They're the best wings you'll ever have.
• 28:41
  Absolutely.
• 28:42
  Unbelievable.
• 28:43
  And we encourage you to check them out at www.wingsnob.ca.
• 28:48
  That's right.
• 28:49
  And there's some new things coming up for Wing Snob in the new year.
• 28:53
  I probably shouldn't say them, but it's kind of exciting.
• 28:56
  And Mike, thanks.
• 28:58
  Thank you.
• 28:59
  Awesome.
• 28:59
  And then we have some other great sponsors.
• 29:03
  These two individuals have also been, Cam, some of our biggest supporters.
• 29:08
  From day one.
• 29:09
  From day one.
• 29:10
  From day one, they've been there for us.
• 29:12
  Jan and Don over at Mprint.
• 29:15
  That's right.
• 29:16
  Mprint.
• 29:17
  Yes.
• 29:17
  Not Imprint.
• 29:19
  Mprint.
• 29:20
  Sign and Print Solutions here in Acheson.
• 29:22
  Yeah.
• 29:22
  Amazing people.
• 29:23
  And again, they were like on board right away.
• 29:25
  Like just were there.
• 29:26
  And honestly, we're not kidding when we talk about them being quality, professional, high caliber printers that anybody can use and access.
• 29:36
  From business cards, right?
• 29:38
  I was in their shop the other day, and the stuff they're printing is incredible.
• 29:42
  The booklets, the calendars, the manuals.
• 29:47
  And then I went into the, they took me into the back, into the warehouse space, and Don was wrapping like a mini school bus.
• 29:55
  Wow.
• 29:55
  Amazing.
• 29:57
  Listen, can we talk about, can we talk about, Cam and I exchanged Christmas gifts.
• 30:01
  Can we talk about the gift he got me?
• 30:03
  Because I want to post this picture.
• 30:05
  I want to post this picture to our social media channel.
• 30:10
  So tell them what Mprint did.
• 30:13
  Mprint.
• 30:13
  Well, so I like to get Jennifer something, you know, she, so, well, I'll save this for a little, in a few minutes, but you know, she's, she's the co-host and does an amazing job.
• 30:24
  So I was looking around, what, what do you get the woman who has everything?
• 30:27
  Like she pretty much does.
• 30:28
  Like she, you know, she has a jet, she has a boat, she has all those kinds of things.
• 30:32
  Let's start that rumour.
• 30:32
  Yeah, let's start that rumour.
• 30:34
  She does have a boat.
• 30:34
  Listen, Porsche dealerships, if you want to give me a Porsche, I'm happy to drive that around.
• 30:38
  Ryan Jespersen gets a Mercedes.
• 30:41
  We want, anyway.
• 30:42
  So I thought, and then I thought, okay.
• 30:45
  I was looking at it, I thought, okay, what best represents Jennifer for the podcast?
• 30:51
  That's just what it is.
• 30:52
  And so I got her a Jennifer bobble head.
• 30:57
  A Jennifer Coffee In The Park bobble head.
• 31:00
  He did.
• 31:01
  I did.
• 31:02
  So yeah, we'll post picture.
• 31:04
  There's one of me too.
• 31:05
  It's so funny.
• 31:05
  Mine, I don't know what to say about mine.
• 31:08
  Jennifer's looks like her.
• 31:11
  And her head, like, just, if you shake her, her head is just like going.
• 31:15
  Normally, and I had them arrange the head, because this is normally, I'll say something to Jennifer, and she'll look at me and go, no.
• 31:21
  And so, that's how the head works.
• 31:23
  It goes, no.
• 31:24
  Very rarely does it go, yes.
• 31:25
  It mostly goes, no.
• 31:27
  And so, anyway, I got her, and she's wearing a Coffee In The Park shirt.
• 31:30
  I know.
• 31:30
  It's great.
• 31:31
  It's amazing.
• 31:32
  And so, yeah.
• 31:33
  And Mprint did that.
• 31:34
  I phoned Jan.
• 31:35
  I said, Jan, here's what I need.
• 31:37
  Jan said, I don't know.
• 31:38
  I don't know.
• 31:39
  I don't know where.
• 31:40
  Sometimes Jan must look at us and go, whoa.
• 31:41
  I know.
• 31:42
  Well, I think she said, okay, and then she hung up.
• 31:46
  And so, then I had to send the picture of you, and then every week I would text her and I go, any luck on the bobble head?
• 31:55
  And it took quite a while for a response usually, but it was no.
• 32:00
  And so, then one day she said, I think I found it.
• 32:03
  And then she called me last week, because we've exchanged gifts already, because Christmas is short, you're leaving and I'm off.
• 32:10
  And she said, come over to the shop.
• 32:12
  So I drove over there and she says, come into my office and there it was.
• 32:17
  And it was you.
• 32:18
  It's a mini you.
• 32:20
  It's mini.
• 32:21
  It's like mini Jennifer, not, shaking your head at me.
• 32:25
  I like, no, no.
• 32:26
  It's like mini Jennifer.
• 32:28
  It's awesome.
• 32:28
  And Mprint did that.
• 32:29
  They did.
• 32:30
  And they also did my Christmas gift for you, which I have to pick up.
• 32:34
  That's right.
• 32:35
  And now we'll post that as well.
• 32:36
  Right, the mug.
• 32:38
  Now, listen.
• 32:39
  Yeah.
• 32:40
  I was a little concerned about Cam and not drinking enough water.
• 32:45
  Let's not get into the health issues here, but lately I've been told I'm not drinking enough water.
• 32:51
  I drink, actually, I drink on the average.
• 32:54
  I drink, just saying, Donald Trump drinks 10 cans, apparently 10 cans of Diet Coke a day.
• 33:01
  That can't be good for you.
• 33:02
  No, I drink on the average six to eight cans of Bubly.
• 33:06
  This is also my concern.
• 33:08
  Like the soda water, Bubly.
• 33:10
  Yeah.
• 33:11
  Michael Buble, if you're listening, if you're one of the 29, I'm just saying.
• 33:15
  If you're one of the 29, yes.
• 33:17
  But I drink a lot of Bubly, but apparently it's not doing it.
• 33:22
  I need to drink water.
• 33:23
  Actual water.
• 33:23
  So I got him a Yeti water bottle.
• 33:25
  A Yeti water bottle.
• 33:26
  Yes.
• 33:27
  It engraved our logo.
• 33:28
  Our logo on it.
• 33:29
  It looks awesome.
• 33:30
  It does.
• 33:31
  It's amazing.
• 33:32
  Yeah.
• 33:32
  And I'm going to have water.
• 33:33
  Again, from Jan and Don.
• 33:36
  So they do stuff like this, like amazing.
• 33:39
  And I have to say, I'm not, I think Jan gets mad because I'm kind of a last-minute kind of guy.
• 33:47
  I phone her like, could you have this in two days?
• 33:49
  And she's like, oh, brother.
• 33:50
  Yeah.
• 33:51
  But they do.
• 33:52
  They're amazing.
• 33:54
  So yeah, they're really, and I love my gift.
• 33:56
  I love it.
• 33:56
  I absolutely love it.
• 33:59
  Truth is, I actually haven't seen my gift yet.
• 34:01
  I gotta go get that.
• 34:01
  You gotta go pick that up.
• 34:03
  But anyway, the bobble heads are, can I just say about the bobble heads?
• 34:07
  They're not cheap.
• 34:08
  Like they're not cheap plastic. I know.
• 34:10
  No, no, no.
• 34:10
  I don't know what they're made of.
• 34:12
  They're like really good.
• 34:13
  I know.
• 34:14
  Yeah.
• 34:14
  Anyway.
• 34:15
  So yeah, thank you, Mprint for being there.
• 34:18
  Check them out.
• 34:18
  At www.mprint.ca.
• 34:22
  Yeah, amazing.
• 34:25
  And folks, it's been an amazing year with the podcast.
• 34:30
  I gotta say, it's one of the highlights of my life.
• 34:32
  Yeah.
• 34:33
  It really is.
• 34:33
  Every Tuesday is great.
• 34:35
  And I'm just gonna say this, cause she deserves it.
• 34:37
  So Jennifer and I, we both have real jobs, daytime jobs.
• 34:42
  This is not a real job.
• 34:43
  Listen, if you want to fund Coffee In The Park.
• 34:48
  Well, yeah, if you want to be a sponsor, yeah, absolutely.
• 34:51
  Then maybe this could be a real job.
• 34:53
  No, we're always looking for brought to you bys, and we'd love to.
• 34:59
  So yeah, reach out, 15,000 people hear your message, and maybe more.
• 35:04
  It's growing.
• 35:05
  And so yeah, you know, whatever you sell, well, I'm not going to say whatever you sell, but you know.
• 35:10
  You and I still have to believe in the product.
• 35:12
  Yeah, like we believe in Wing Snob.
• 35:14
  And we believe in Mprint.
• 35:15
  Yeah, like I eat wings and I use Mprint.
• 35:18
  That's right.
• 35:18
  So like, that's really awesome.
• 35:20
  But you know, just give us a call, give us a shout out on our website there, and you can leave us a comment.
• 35:26
  But these are not our real jobs.
• 35:29
  We take time every week to do this.
• 35:31
  And I would not do this if I did not have my co-host, if I didn't have Jennifer.
• 35:39
  I wouldn't do this.
• 35:41
  Because the best part of this is doing this with you, and it's awesome.
• 35:45
  No, I agree.
• 35:46
  And we don't always agree.
• 35:47
  Oh, no, we don't.
• 35:49
  People ask, do you fight? Yes we do.
• 35:50
  We should do a show on that.
• 35:53
  We should start recording our fights.
• 35:55
  That would be hilarious.
• 35:56
  That would be funny.
• 35:57
  We don't always agree.
• 35:58
  We don't always agree.
• 35:59
  And it's been a process, but we're learning the process.
• 36:08
  And you are.
• 36:08
  You're great.
• 36:09
  You keep me on track in more ways than one, both on air and off air.
• 36:15
  You keep me on track.
• 36:16
  And without you, I could not do this.
• 36:19
  And you are amazing.
• 36:20
  And to me, you and I say, and folks, I'm saying this sincerely, you are the lifeblood and the heartbeat of this podcast.
• 36:28
  Well, thank you.
• 36:29
  Thank you for doing this.
• 36:31
  Well, because if you haven't heard the story when we started this podcast, I said he's an idiot.
• 36:36
  She called me an idiot.
• 36:37
  Yeah.
• 36:38
  And it wasn't going to happen.
• 36:39
  So there could have been very realistically, there never could have been a coffee in the park.
• 36:45
  You're not wrong.
• 36:45
  But she gave in to the idiot.
• 36:47
  I did.
• 36:48
  And I'm happy I did.
• 36:49
  Yeah.
• 36:50
  And because of her, it's what it is today.
• 36:54
  So, Cam, I can't wait.
• 36:56
  We've got some.
• 36:59
  I'm just so excited for some of our upcoming guests for 2026.
• 37:03
  Now, we're not going to let the cat out of the bag.
• 37:05
  No, we're not.
• 37:05
  Because we want you to tune in.
• 37:07
  Yeah.
• 37:07
  Yeah.
• 37:07
  But we have amazing guests.
• 37:09
  2026 is going to be a banger year.
• 37:10
  I think we're out doing ourselves in 2026.
• 37:12
  I agree.
• 37:14
  I, the only one we're not going to get, and I'll just say it because I know we're not going to get, is I don't think we're going to get the elephant trainer at the zoo.
• 37:23
  We talked about controversy.
• 37:25
  It's too much controversy there.
• 37:29
  But we got a penguin, which was pretty cool.
• 37:31
  I know.
• 37:31
  But anyway, we got great guests coming.
• 37:34
  We do.
• 37:34
  And now that we've put it out to people like Tim Cook and Michael Buble, if they're listening, they can just phone.
• 37:44
  Do they ever?
• 37:45
  We have a phone.
• 37:46
  We have a Coffee In The Park phone.
• 37:48
  One, the entire time, we thought it was my bright idea.
• 37:53
  We need a phone.
• 37:54
  People will phone us, so we've had like one phone.
• 37:56
  I think it was me phoning the phone.
• 38:00
  Nobody phones.
• 38:00
  Nobody.
• 38:01
  But we do have an email.
• 38:02
  Yes, we do.
• 38:04
  And that is...
• 38:04
  It's all on our website.
• 38:05
  Yeah, it's all on our website.
• 38:06
  So check out the website if you have it at coffeeinthepark.com.
• 38:10
  Yeah.
• 38:11
  And so, yeah.
• 38:13
  So anyway, thanks for tuning in today and for listening to sort of a year in review.
• 38:19
  But most of all, thanks for listening.
• 38:21
  Thanks for being loyal supporters and listening.
• 38:23
  Whether you've listened to one episode or whether you've listened to them all, Cam and I greatly appreciate your support.
• 38:30
  We do.
• 38:31
  And you know what?
• 38:32
  Like we say, tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your coworkers, tell your enemies, because you never know.
• 38:39
  You tell somebody you don't like to listen.
• 38:41
  And then before you know it, they become a friend.
• 38:42
  Yeah, like they're like thanking you for for recommending the podcast.
• 38:46
  Right.
• 38:47
  And if you don't have any friends, just tell, make one, just so you can tell them about the, it's New Year's.
• 38:53
  Just go out and go sit somewhere and have a drink.
• 38:55
  And the guy next to you say, look, have you ever, have you ever listened to Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam?
• 39:01
  That's right.
• 39:01
  Like it's a great conversation starter.
• 39:03
  I agree.
• 39:04
  And if you're, I don't know, you're single and looking to meet a girl or something, it's a great conversation.
• 39:10
  I'm just saying, I'm just, we're not a dating service.
• 39:12
  I'm just saying that, but we're not.
• 39:15
  We're not getting into that.
• 39:17
  But there could be money in that road.
• 39:20
  That's not a road.
• 39:21
  No, we're not.
• 39:22
  Maybe that's a guest we should have.
• 39:23
  That'd be a really cool guest to have, somebody who runs an online dating service.
• 39:28
  And if there is a guest that you think has a great story, absolutely.
• 39:33
  Send us a comment on the website.
• 39:34
  Yeah.
• 39:35
  Or maybe you have a great story.
• 39:37
  That's right.
• 39:38
  Like, hey, you know, we're, like I say, the famous, the not so famous, it's all about the story behind the story.
• 39:45
  That's right.
• 39:45
  And everybody has a story.
• 39:48
  If you're sitting there right now saying, I don't have a story, you know, you do have a story.
• 39:52
  The fact that you say you don't have a story is part of the story.
• 39:55
  You do have one.
• 39:56
  You sit with us for a coffee.
• 39:58
  Come, come take me and Jennifer for a coffee at the Wall Coffee Roaster.
• 40:01
  We'll get the story out of you.
• 40:02
  That's right.
• 40:03
  Anyway, folks, happy New Year.
• 40:06
  Happy New Year.
• 40:07
  I hope you had a good Christmas.
• 40:09
  Well, for us, Christmas is coming up still.
• 40:11
  It is.
• 40:11
  Yeah.
• 40:12
  And again, Porsche, if you're listening.
• 40:14
  Porsche, if you're listening.
• 40:15
  Cam and I will each take one.
• 40:16
  Or do you want a different vehicle?
• 40:17
  Well, I'm good with a Porsche.
• 40:19
  Range Rovers are nice, too.
• 40:20
  But Porsches are a little slick in the winter in the city.
• 40:23
  We'll drive it in the summer.
• 40:24
  Yeah, we'll drive.
• 40:25
  It'll be our summer car.
• 40:27
  Yeah.
• 40:27
  Yeah.
• 40:28
  And so then we need like somebody like Range Rover for the winter.
• 40:32
  But we're not, like I say, we're humble.
• 40:34
  We're very humble people.
• 40:37
  Again, thanks for listening, everyone.
• 40:38
  And we'll see you in the new year.
• 40:39
  Wherever you get your podcasts or at www.coffeeinthepark.com.
• 40:44
  You can download it there.
• 40:45
  Thanks, everybody.
• 40:46
  See you next time.
