  I'm Cam.

  And I'm Jennifer.
• 0:01
  And you're listening to Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam.
• 0:22
  Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the second edition of the Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam, second edition of the New Year.
• 0:34
  Hello, Jennifer.
• 0:34
  Hello, Cam.
• 0:35
  Well, Happy New Year.
• 0:36
  Happy New Year.
• 0:37
  Yes.
• 0:38
  Yeah, it is kind of New Year.
• 0:41
  Yeah.
• 0:41
  Well, this is technically our first recording of the New Year because... the one we dropped.
• 0:44
  True enough.
• 0:45
  Yes, because we pre-recorded.
• 0:46
  Yes, we pre-recorded before Christmas.
• 0:48
  So, you're right.
• 0:49
  This is our very first recording of 2026 and...
• 0:54
  Well, okay, I have to stop you right there because I've already written 2025.
• 0:58
  I know, eh?
• 0:59
  Too many times.
• 0:59
  Me too.
• 1:00
  It's like, how long does that take?
• 1:01
  They say you have to do it seven times.
• 1:03
  Seven.
• 1:04
  Till it sinks in.
• 1:05
  Oh.
• 1:05
  But with me, so you double everything.
• 1:07
  So that would be like 14 times.
• 1:09
  Anyways, yes, it is 2026, and as usual, we are coming to you live from the Wall Coffee Roasters in the heart of beautiful downtown Acheson.
• 1:21
  And Jennifer, I'm just going to say, today, beautiful downtown Acheson is looking quite extraordinary with the sun shining.
• 1:28
  Well, finally.
• 1:29
  I know.
• 1:30
  It is a little cool, but it's supposed to warm up today.
• 1:33
  And I know we talk about this a lot on the podcast, and people who don't live around here, they're like, what's the big deal?
• 1:39
  The big deal is when it's been minus 20 degrees.
• 1:42
  Over the Christmas break, I have to say it, it was terrible.
• 1:46
  The weather was horrendous.
• 1:48
  It was the sixth in history.
• 1:51
  I don't know if I can say in history, but the sixth most, the sixth...
• 1:57
  Snowiest?
• 1:58
  There, that's the word.
• 1:58
  The sixth snowiest day we've had since they've been keeping records.
• 2:03
  Since 2004, I think they said, was the last time we got this much snow in this short of time period.
• 2:08
  It's crazy.
• 2:08
  It was unreal.
• 2:09
  So we have so much snow here.
• 2:11
  The snow piles, snow mounds are so high from shoveling driveways and things like that.
• 2:19
  You had quite the adventure this morning, even getting here.
• 2:21
  Oh, did I ever?
• 2:23
  Do you want to talk about that?
• 2:24
  I do want to talk about this.
• 2:26
  If any city officials are listening, Jennifer has something to say to you.
• 2:29
  From the city of Spruce Grove.
• 2:30
  That's right.
• 2:32
  I'm calling it out.
• 2:32
  Not that we're not going to name it, but okay.
• 2:34
  Too bad, I'm naming it! Listen, I appreciate that you plowed my residential road this morning.
• 2:40
  However, what I didn't appreciate was the fact that you were doing this during prime morning rush hour.
• 2:47
  Right, when everybody's leaving and going to work.
• 2:48
  Everybody's leaving trying to get out.
• 2:51
  And a plow comes down my street and leaves.
• 2:54
  And I'm talking a giant windrow right in front of my driveway.
• 2:58
  A windrow is a pile of snow.
• 3:00
  A huge, and ice.
• 3:02
  And ice.
• 3:02
  Yeah, chunks of ice.
• 3:03
  So they're grading the road and pushing all the snow to the side right in front of your driveway.
• 3:07
  In front of everybody's driveway.
• 3:09
  And you had a little trouble getting out.
• 3:11
  I only know this because you were texting me.
• 3:14
  You know, I could just, of course, texts are just, there's no inflection, but I could just feel the inflection coming off that text.
• 3:22
  You were not happy.
• 3:23
  My neighbor was laughing at me as I was out there with my shovel and throwing chunks of snow, and it was not even making a dent.
• 3:31
  So for those of you who are listening to this that live in very warm places, this is, you have no idea of what we face here when this happens.
• 3:40
  It's like, the streets are...
• 3:43
  At one point, they were almost impassable.
• 3:44
  If you didn't have an SUV or a four wheel drive, you couldn't get through it. I agree.
• 3:48
  And they were really bumpy and it was hard to, like you say, pass and it was...
• 3:54
  I live, you live in Spruce Grove, I live in the city of Edmonton.
• 3:57
  I heard on the news this morning, it's going to take 14 days to plow the residential streets.
• 4:05
  And you said, it's already terrible getting out.
• 4:07
  It's like driving on a washboard.
• 4:08
  Yeah, that's it.
• 4:09
  My car is...
• 4:10
  And again, you get in a rut and there's ice underneath.
• 4:12
  Nothing you can do.
• 4:13
  Nothing you can do.
• 4:14
  Unbelievable.
• 4:15
  Anyways, that's our first world dilemma here in Alberta, here in Edmonton.
• 4:20
  But that being said, we are at the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 4:23
  And hey, if you've never been to the Wall Coffee Roasters, you need to come.
• 4:27
  Great place.
• 4:27
  And we're excited to be back for 2026.
• 4:32
  I heard there's some breaking news at the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 4:34
  They're introducing something new.
• 4:35
  Can we say it or not yet?
• 4:36
  I don't know.
• 4:37
  I have to. I think I need to confirm before we announce it.
• 4:40
  You don't want to announce that rumor?
• 4:41
  No, I don't want to.
• 4:42
  Because if it doesn't happen, then it's...
• 4:44
  Well, you know how rumors are.
• 4:45
  It's like, you know...
• 4:48
  We could, but no, I'm not going to...
• 4:50
  Stay tuned.
• 4:51
  Yeah, stay tuned.
• 4:52
  Cam will confirm.
• 4:53
  We need to get...
• 4:54
  That's right.
• 4:56
  Because we need this spot to record the podcast, and if I...
• 4:59
  That's right.
• 5:00
  We don't want to get kicked out.
• 5:00
  We don't want to get kicked out.
• 5:02
  But that being said, we are happy to tell you about our sponsors for the Coffee In The Park podcast with Jennifer and Cam for 2026.
• 5:09
  Of course, it's Wing Snob.
• 5:11
  Yes, Wing Snob, where the wings are fresh, never frozen.
• 5:15
  And you know what?
• 5:16
  You know this first hand over this Christmas season because...
• 5:19
  Yes, because we went to Wing Snob and... you took.
• 5:22
  Wait, I tried something else.
• 5:23
  I tried a new wing.
• 5:24
  Okay, wait a minute.
• 5:25
  Talk about the wings because I'm trying to remember what flavor it was I had.
• 5:28
  Well, I'm bringing this up because your mom was in town visiting, and you took your mom to Wing Snob.
• 5:33
  Well, we went to Wing Snob and it was good.
• 5:35
  And she said it was really good.
• 5:36
  Well, wings are delicious.
• 5:37
  I'm telling you right now, if your mom says it's good, it's good.
• 5:41
  I'm just saying.
• 5:42
  If Mrs.
• 5:43
  Herrick said it was a good wing, it's a good wing.
• 5:45
  Ten locations.
• 5:46
  Ten locations throughout Edmonton.
• 5:48
  One in Calgary.
• 5:49
  One in Calgary, and I think there's one opening up up in Grand Prairie or something like that.
• 5:53
  Anyway, but hey, listen, go to www.wingsnob.ca.
• 5:57
  The best wings, like Jennifer said, fresh, never frozen.
• 6:00
  Sixteen flavors, four rubs.
• 6:02
  Their garlic fries, their cornbread.
• 6:05
  Oh, they have, it's amazing.
• 6:07
  So if you've never been to Wing Snob, you need to check out Wing Snob for some 2026 wings.
• 6:12
  That's right.
• 6:13
  And Cam, we would like to thank our other major supporter, which is Mprint, let's go now, say M.
• 6:20
  Print, not Im, just Mprint.
• 6:23
  Sign and Print Solutions here in beautiful Acheson.
• 6:26
  They do amazing work.
• 6:28
  They really do.
• 6:28
  We know that, again, personally, this Christmas, they do incredible work, and I'm very happy to be associated with them.
• 6:35
  I'm happy they're here in Acheson.
• 6:37
  And whatever your printing needs, whether it's a brochure or business cards or a booklet or if you need something wrapped, they'll wrap it.
• 6:46
  Well, Cam, I want people to check out our Instagram page because there they'd see some of the work that Jan and Don did for us.
• 6:54
  Your water bottle.
• 6:56
  And your bobble head dolls.

  Unbelievable.

  They'll do any, you know what?

  We've asked them to do all kinds of different things.
• 7:05
  And they've never said no to us.
• 7:07
  So if you, whatever you're printing needs, whatever you have for 2026, you need to get something done.
• 7:12
  You give them a call.
• 7:13

  Amazing job.

  Great people.

  Dan, or Don and Jan.
• 7:30
  Great people.
• 7:31
  And great to work with.
• 7:32
  And I love it.
• 7:32
  So thanks for being sponsors of Coffee In The Park.
• 7:36
  So, um, 2026.
• 7:40
  Cam, I have a question.
• 7:41
  Yes.
• 7:41
  Do you make New Year's Resolutions?
• 7:42
  No, because I break them, like, if I make them on January 1st, I break them on January 2nd.
• 7:47
  I know.
• 7:48
  Me too.
• 7:48
  Do you?
• 7:48
  No, I don't.
• 7:49
  No.
• 7:49
  No.
• 7:50
  I sit back and I think about things I want to do in the coming year.
• 7:54
  I agree.
• 7:54
  That maybe I need to change.
• 7:56
  Like, I don't know.
• 7:57
  But that doesn't work out really good.
• 7:59
  You know what I always say?
• 8:00
  Yeah.
• 8:01
  I'm going to eat better in 2026.
• 8:02
  I know.
• 8:03
  I say that too. And then a couple weeks in...
• 8:04
  But I ate so bad over Christmas.
• 8:06
  Like, I just ate and ate and ate.
• 8:08
  It will take me at least a year to get over what I did at Christmas.
• 8:12
  So I just said forget it.
• 8:13
  Let's talk about your turkey.
• 8:14
  Oh, 25 pound turkey from Ben's Meats.
• 8:20
  We've had Dave on here as a guest.
• 8:21
  And I'm telling you, my cousin Chuck, shout out to Chuck and Shirley.
• 8:25
  But it was Chuck who deep fried the turkey.
• 8:27
  Unbelievable.
• 8:29
  But you were a little ticked off.
• 8:31
  There were no leftovers.
• 8:32
  No leftovers, because the turkey is so good.
• 8:34
  And our family numbers were just a tad down this year because of flu and weather and things like that.
• 8:40
  Holy smokes were people sick.
• 8:41
  I know.
• 8:42
  But somehow the biggest turkey we ever had and it all went.
• 8:45
  But it's because it was so good.
• 8:46
  And so first of all, thank you, Dave at Ben's, and then thank you, Chuck, for doing a great turkey.
• 8:50
  I loved it.
• 8:51
  But no leftovers.
• 8:52
  Wasn't happy about that.
• 8:53
  He did send me home with like a bag of bones.
• 8:56
  Did you make soup?
• 8:56
  No, I just gnawed on the bones.
• 8:59
  I know. I know.
• 9:00
  It was sad.
• 9:01
  But anyway, they were so good.
• 9:03
  So yeah.
• 9:04
  And yeah.
• 9:04
  So yeah, it was it was great.
• 9:05
  Yeah.
• 9:06
  But it's you know, I ate too much.
• 9:07
  I did.
• 9:08
  I ate too much.
• 9:09
  So in the new year, you're right.
• 9:10
  I got to eat better.
• 9:11
  We always say that.
• 9:12
  I know.
• 9:12
  It goes downhill.
• 9:13
  It does.
• 9:14
  Like when I brought donuts from the Donut Mill the other day.
• 9:15
  I know.
• 9:16
  See, everything was good until you. I started off...
• 9:19
  So that was that was on Monday.
• 9:20
  What was so today's like the sixth? Today's Tuesday.
• 9:22
  That was the fifth.
• 9:22
  You brought that box of donuts.
• 9:24
  It's like, OK, well, see, this is what...
• 9:27
  But when through Red Deer.
• 9:28
  One must, must stop at the Donut Mill.
• 9:28
  If you're going through Red Deer, you have to stop.
• 9:31
  But to your point, this is why you don't make New Year's resolutions.
• 9:34
  Because as I was sitting there, stuffing my face with the orange cream donut, which was amazing, I'm saying to myself, scrap any, any, any, any resolution.
• 9:44
  I said we should do chair yoga at lunch.
• 9:47
  And you laughed.
• 9:48
  I laughed because chair yoga.
• 9:50
  What is that?
• 9:51
  Oh, now we're going to get email.
• 9:53
  "I do chair yoga every day." I did see on Instagram, there was a thing that if you did chair yoga 10 minutes every day for like a month, you'd lose like 50 pounds.
• 10:02
  And I'm like, I don't think so. I don't know about that.
• 10:04
  I know I may be exaggerating the 50 pounds, but I'm just saying they said you could lose a lot of weight.
• 10:10
  You know I saw it on... You know you're scrolling the channels for those that still have cable.
• 10:14
  I know, very few do.
• 10:14
  Yeah, I know.
• 10:16
  PBS, the public broadcast system.
• 10:17
  Oh, they're done. Are they done?
• 10:19
  They announced yesterday they're done.
• 10:21
  Yeah, because they didn't get it.
• 10:22
  No more chair yoga.
• 10:24
  Can we, talking about PBS?
• 10:26
  Did you ever watch that painter guy?
• 10:28
  Bob Ross.
• 10:29
  Bob Ross.
• 10:31
  I used to watch Bob Ross.
• 10:33
  I know.
• 10:34
  I loved Bob Ross.
• 10:35
  Oh, look at the little bird.
• 10:36
  Okay, so that's Bob.
• 10:37
  That was amazing.
• 10:38
  So no more, hey?
• 10:39
  Yeah, no more.
• 10:40
  Anyways, so we're, sorry, sorry to interupt, where were you going with it?
• 10:43
  You're scrolling through the channels and?
• 10:45
  Well, that's where my chair yoga came from.
• 10:47
  Oh, I don't, I just, I don't want to try it even.
• 10:51
  I feel like I'll injure myself somehow in chair yoga.
• 10:55
  I don't know.
• 10:56
  Anyways, so yeah, so yeah, but here we are into 2026.
• 11:00
  We are.
• 11:01
  What does the year hold?
• 11:03
  Well, obviously roasting.
• 11:05
  Obviously, obviously, whatever you hear in the back, they're roasting today in the background.
• 11:10
  Well, that's a good sign.
• 11:11
  That is a good sign.
• 11:12
  Roasting.
• 11:13
  Yeah, it'll be a nice smell outside.
• 11:15
  Better than the...
• 11:16
  The dog... I won't say it.
• 11:17
  Okay, sorry.
• 11:18
  I'm not to say that.
• 11:21
  If I had to make a resolution...
• 11:23
  One of my resolutions would be to not say things I shouldn't say.
• 11:27
  Well, that won't change, though.
• 11:28
  That's already...
• 11:29
  That's already broken.
• 11:30
  Okay.
• 11:31
  So, 2026, what are we looking forward to?
• 11:35
  You have sitting here, the old Farmers' Almanac.
• 11:39
  No, it's the new Farmers' Almanac.
• 11:40
  No, I know, but it says, look here, the old Farmers'...
• 11:42
  2026 Almanac.
• 11:44
  So, how can it be old?
• 11:45
  I know.
• 11:46
  But it's been around forever.
• 11:48
  And we've been reading through this because we want to see what weather looks like.
• 11:51
  Yes.
• 11:52
  Because again, we're living in like the deep freeze with like...
• 11:55
  I want to see if it's accurate or not.
• 11:57
  Right.
• 11:57
  Yeah.
• 11:58
  So...
• 11:58
  Do you want to know?
• 11:59
  Yeah.
• 12:00
  Talk amongst yourselves.
• 12:01
  You've been reading it all morning.
• 12:04
  The weather, our horoscopes, everything.
• 12:06
  I know.
• 12:07
  Okay.
• 12:07
  I'm going to give you the summary.
• 12:09
  Of?
• 12:10
  This is weather?
• 12:12
  Of weather for Region 4, the prairies.
• 12:15
  We're Region 4?
• 12:16
  Yeah.
• 12:16
  We're the prairies.
• 12:17
  I guess.
• 12:17
  Yeah.
• 12:17
  Okay.
• 12:17
  Yeah.
• 12:18
  Okay.
• 12:19
  Well, I don't know if I believe this.
• 12:22
  You can't say that.
• 12:24
  You're reading the Farmers' Almanac.
• 12:26
  Wait.
• 12:26
  Wait.
• 12:26
  Wait.
• 12:27
  Winter will be warmer than normal.
• 12:29
  Well, that hasn't transpired.
• 12:31
  Well, okay.
• 12:32
  But in all fairness, it says 2026.
• 12:34
  And we're only a few days into 2026.
• 12:36
  This is true.
• 12:37
  With above normal precipitation and below normal snowfall.
• 12:41
  Well, that hasn't happened.
• 12:42
  But remember, that all happened in 2025.
• 12:45
  That's true.
• 12:45
  This is 2026.
• 12:47
  Yeah.
• 12:47
  The coldest periods will be in late November, early December, and early February.
• 12:51
  And the snowiest periods will be in late November and early December.
• 12:55
  Oh, okay.
• 12:57
  But of this year?
• 12:58
  I think so.
• 12:58
  So we've already done that.
• 13:00
  We've already done that.
• 13:00
  Yes, yes.
• 13:01
  Because some of this is 25 into 26.
• 13:03
  So that's true.
• 13:04
  So things are looking up according to the Farmers.
• 13:07
  Oh, spring's not looking so good.
• 13:08
  No, no, no, no.
• 13:11
  April and May cooler and drier than normal.
• 13:13
  Okay.
• 13:14
  Summer warmer and wetter than usual.
• 13:17
  With the hottest period being in late June to mid-August.
• 13:22
  Okay.
• 13:23
  To mid-August.
• 13:23
  Oh, it looks like we're going to have a nice fall.
• 13:25
  It's warmer in October.
• 13:26
  Okay.
• 13:27
  There we go.
• 13:27
  Good.
• 13:27
  Thank you.
• 13:28
  Farmer.
• 13:28
  Thank you, Farmers' Almanac.
• 13:29
  How do they know this?
• 13:30
  You told me this is going to be the last year of the Farmers' Almanac.
• 13:33
  I heard that.
• 13:33
  Yeah, I heard that they're not printing it after this year.
• 13:36
  They're done.
• 13:37
  So everybody go out and buy a Farmers' Almanac in 2026 because it'll be a collector's item.
• 13:41
  Maybe.
• 13:42
  But not if everybody goes and buys it. I guess.
• 13:43
  But nonetheless.
• 13:44
  Yeah.
• 13:45
  So, okay.
• 13:45
  So things are looking up.
• 13:47
  Yeah.
• 13:47
  Hopefully.
• 13:48
  Yeah.
• 13:48
  We'll continue to monitor and see what happens.
• 13:52
  Okay.
• 13:52
  Good.
• 13:53
  Anything else in the Farmers' Almanac you want to tell us?
• 13:55
  You were looking up.
• 13:57
  You know what?
• 13:57
  There's so much interesting things in the Farmers' Almanac.
• 13:59
  You asked what?
• 13:59
  Oh, so Chinese New Year.
• 14:01
  Oh, yeah.
• 14:01
  Chinese New Year.
• 14:02
  You were talking about that.
• 14:03
  And that's February the 17th, and it is the year of the horse.
• 14:09
  Year of the horse.
• 14:09
  The fire horse.
• 14:12
  Yeah, because the fire horse is, because it's the year of the fire horse.
• 14:15
  It's bold and aggressive and independent, and that's what it is.
• 14:20
  It's, yeah.
• 14:21
  Maybe we need to have our friend Amy Quon on to tell us more about...
• 14:25
  My poor friend Amy, I know, she had a little mishap.
• 14:28
  She fell and hurt herself.
• 14:30
  It was so icy.
• 14:31
  Yeah.
• 14:31
  Well, that's the thing, right?
• 14:33
  But she's, yeah, I think she's getting better. I hope so.
• 14:34
  But you're right.
• 14:36
  We should have Amy.
• 14:37
  We should call her up one day and just talk about that.
• 14:40
  Yeah.
• 14:41
  And then she'll invite us to the Lingnan Chinese New Year.
• 14:43
  That's always the bonus, isn't it?
• 14:45
  Yeah, because you get the lion dance and the drums, and you get a little gift, and it's pretty awesome.
• 14:50
  I know.
• 14:50
  But you have to give the lion a gift, too.
• 14:52
  I learned that.
• 14:53
  Have you done that?
• 14:54
  Yeah, I did.
• 14:54
  You put it in its mouth.
• 14:55
  When he comes to your table, you stick the red pocket money in his mouth, and that's good luck.
• 14:59
  I was gonna say do you put a fortune cookie in his mouth?
• 15:01
  Fortune cookie?
• 15:03
  No.
• 15:04
  You put money in his mouth, because that brings you good luck.
• 15:07
  Okay.
• 15:07
  Yeah.
• 15:08
  And I'm not going to say how much I put in, because obviously, I'm not going to say it paid off this year.
• 15:14
  Not really.
• 15:15
  I need to up the ante a tad.
• 15:16
  But anyways, so yeah, this is the year of the fire horse.
• 15:20
  Strong, bold, independent, aggressive.
• 15:23
  Aggressive.
• 15:23
  Yeah.
• 15:24
  Wow.
• 15:26
  That's what it says.
• 15:27
  Okay.
• 15:28
  Yeah.
• 15:29
  Folks, thanks for listening still.
• 15:31
  I know this show is a little mishmash.
• 15:34
  No, because people are saying, I didn't know that.
• 15:37
  I think anything you listen to, where you walk away going, I didn't know that is beneficial, because you learn something.
• 15:44
  How many people knew?
• 15:45
  Well, probably a lot.
• 15:46
  But how many people knew is the year of the horse?
• 15:49
  Yeah.
• 15:49
  I didn't know, till this morning.
• 15:51
  And how many knew the weather was going to be like this for 2026? Well this is it.
• 15:55
  And so the things, I believe that our podcast is just full of information.
• 16:00
  Now, can we just be full transparency?
• 16:02
  We can.
• 16:03
  We did have a guest this morning, but they got sick.
• 16:05
  Well, again, the sickness, the flu, the cold, it's been quite the year.
• 16:13
  It really has.
• 16:13
  I don't know where you live, but here in our region, the flu and the cough have been terrible.
• 16:20
  Terrible.
• 16:20
  Cam, let's talk about our regime, so that, knock on wood, we're not getting sick.
• 16:24
  What do you do every morning?
• 16:25
  I'll tell you what I do.
• 16:26
  I drink a glass of that.
• 16:29
  What do you call that?
• 16:30
  Ener- Ener-C.
• 16:31
  Ener-C.
• 16:32
  Ener-G-C.
• 16:32
  Ener-G-C.
• 16:33
  Yeah.
• 16:34
  And I drink that.
• 16:35
  But I was drinking it yesterday thinking, this is exactly like Orangina that I buy at the Italian Center.
• 16:44
  It's really good.
• 16:45
  But anyway, it's loaded with vitamin C.
• 16:47
  I know.
• 16:47
  And I don't know if you're supposed to, but there were a couple of days where I doubled up.
• 16:51
  Oh.
• 16:51
  Are you supposed to do that?
• 16:52
  I don't think so. Well maybe.
• 16:53
  I did because I thought I doubled vitamin C.
• 16:55
  Maybe.
• 16:55
  To help ward off this flu.
• 16:57
  Could be.
• 16:58
  And you're drinking or you're taking?
• 16:59
  Well, it's kind of like that, but it's got, I don't remember the name of it, but it's like an elderberry.
• 17:04
  It's a berry flavor.
• 17:05
  Elderberry.
• 17:06
  It's really good.
• 17:07
  Elderberry.
• 17:08
  Yeah.
• 17:08
  And you know what else I think is making the difference?
• 17:10
  No.
• 17:10
  Honey.
• 17:11
  Oh, I have honey every day.
• 17:13
  I know.
• 17:13
  I put honey in my tea.
• 17:14
  I know.
• 17:15
  And I put it on my toast.
• 17:16
  But I think there's like properties in honey that like ward off sickness.
• 17:20
  No, you're absolutely right.
• 17:22
  And we should contact the bee people that we had on the podcast. Yes, Richard and Amber.
• 17:25
  Yeah.
• 17:25
  And they would tell.
• 17:25
  But it's true.
• 17:27
  My daughter, she read that if you have a canker sore in your mouth, if you put honey on it, it will take the canker sore away.
• 17:33
  Honey is amazing.
• 17:34
  It is amazing.
• 17:34
  I know.
• 17:35
  And, you know, the bees are sleeping right now, but they're gonna wake up soon.
• 17:39
  And we need the bees because apparently honey does a lot of things for health-wise.
• 17:44
  Health-wise.
• 17:45
  So you're right.
• 17:46
  So I have my honey every day.
• 17:47
  You have your honey.
• 17:47
  I have my Ener-C.
• 17:49
  You have your elderberry.
• 17:50
  Yeah.
• 17:51
  I never heard of elderberry.
• 17:52
  I don't know, but it tastes good.
• 17:53
  Where does...
• 17:55
  I got to look that up, about the elderberry...
• 17:57
  I'll bring you a packet.
• 17:57
  It tastes good.
• 17:58
  You can try it.
• 17:58
  But you haven't got sick.
• 18:00
  No.
• 18:00
  I haven't got sick.
• 18:01
  Okay, let's knock on wood because we don't want to get sick.
• 18:03
  No, that's true.
• 18:04
  And I know I personally have been in the presence of people who have been sick and you have, and I've actually had them cough all over me.
• 18:11
  You thought, here you go.
• 18:12
  Well, they were just little kids.
• 18:13
  They didn't know.
• 18:14
  And it was just...
• 18:15
  but they were coughing, all over you.
• 18:17
  And you're just like...
• 18:18
  I walked away going, that's it.
• 18:19
  I'm getting sick.
• 18:20
  But my Ener-C, and now you say, my honey, is saving me.
• 18:24
  I think so.
• 18:25
  And I would like to say I'm eating better, but I'm not really.
• 18:29
  You're not really.
• 18:31
  That Donut Mill doughnut is really warding off the sickness.
• 18:35
  Maybe the Donut Mill doughnut did ward off the sickness.
• 18:37
  Well it might be.
• 18:37
  We don't know.
• 18:38
  I don't know.
• 18:39
  It could be stuff in doughnuts that...
• 18:42
  Apparently, I read over the Christmas break that there's stuff in ice cream.
• 18:46
  It's okay to have a little bit of ice cream every now and then.
• 18:48
  It's always okay to have a little bit, unless you're lactose intolerant.
• 18:50
  That's true.
• 18:50
  Don't do that.
• 18:51
  Take the pills.
• 18:52
  Don't do the straight ice cream.
• 18:54
  Yeah.
• 18:54
  Yeah.
• 18:55
  No.
• 18:55
  Yeah.
• 18:56
  So, yeah.
• 18:57
  I hope I don't get...
• 18:57
  Well, you know, like you say, knock on wood.
• 18:59
  We don't want to get it, but it's going around.
• 19:01
  It's really bad.
• 19:02
  And so, our guest this morning, she had it, but she's got the lingering cough.
• 19:07
  So, she has a hard time speaking without coughing.
• 19:10
  Without coughing.
• 19:11
  But stay tuned.
• 19:11
  She is coming on the podcast.
• 19:12
  She's coming on.
• 19:13
  Yeah.
• 19:13
  When the cough goes away.
• 19:14
  When the cough goes away.
• 19:15
  We just don't know when.
• 19:16
  Cam, we've got some really exciting guests.
• 19:19
  We really do.
• 19:19
  For the 2026.
• 19:20
  I know.
• 19:22
  Do you want to tell people?
• 19:22
  We can talk about them.
• 19:23
  Okay.
• 19:24
  Go ahead.
• 19:24
  Yeah.
• 19:25
  We won't say the specific dates yet.
• 19:26
  No, no.
• 19:26
  We will talk about them.
• 19:28
  Okay.
• 19:28
  So?
• 19:29
  So, this is something that Cam was really passionate about last year.
• 19:35
  There were two things last year.
• 19:37
  Yes.
• 19:37
  The penguin.
• 19:38
  Yes.
• 19:39
  I really wanted the penguin.
• 19:41
  I know.
• 19:41
  But we had the penguin.
• 19:42
  Yeah, we did.
• 19:42
  But the other one, and then you were quite upset because you reached out and you never heard back.
• 19:47
  Yes.
• 19:47
  But now we've heard back.
• 19:48
  Yes.
• 19:49
  The Zamboni driver.
• 19:51
  The Zamboni driver at the Edmonton Oilers.
• 19:54
  I know.
• 19:56
  Have you never gone to a professional hockey game and in the intermission between periods, you see them cleaning the ice on the Zamboni.
• 20:04
  How do you get to be a Zamboni driver?
• 20:08
  At that level.
• 20:09
  At that level.
• 20:10
  It's the highest.
• 20:10
  I have questions.
• 20:11
  Yeah, me too.
• 20:12
  I know.
• 20:12
  With the Olympics coming up.
• 20:13
  Exactly.
• 20:14
  I have even more questions.
• 20:16
  Do you start like a hockey player?
• 20:17
  Do you start as a junior Zamboni driver in like a little rink in like rural Alberta?
• 20:23
  And you have to work your way up?
• 20:26
  You get on the Zamboni All-Star team?
• 20:28
  Or how to...
• 20:29
  It's fascinating.
• 20:30
  Have you ever just sat there and watched them go around?
• 20:33
  There's an art to it.
• 20:35
  And soon, she, and I'm going to say she...
• 20:38
  We'll have her on the podcast.
• 20:39
  We're going to have her on the podcast.
• 20:40
  I'm so excited about that.
• 20:41
  And she can tell us.
• 20:41
  I can say that that's equal almost to having the penguin on the podcast.
• 20:45
  I know, it's pretty exciting.
• 20:47
  I still look at my penguin pictures.
• 20:50
  And you know what we did here at the company I work for?
• 20:52
  We had the penguin people come to our kids' Christmas party.
• 20:56
  You did.
• 20:56
  And they brought two penguins.
• 20:59
  They brought Rocket and Yeti.
• 21:01
  Yes.
• 21:02
  It was awesome.
• 21:02
  Anyway, okay.
• 21:03
  So we got the Zamboni person coming.
• 21:04
  We got the Zamboni person.
• 21:05
  We've got...
• 21:06
  Well, our guest today, who is sick, but she's coming on now.
• 21:11
  Her name is Rachelle, and she is the owner of a wonderful boutique in Spruce Grove, Dani and Madi.
• 21:18
  Like a clothing boutique.
• 21:19
  A clothing boutique.
• 21:20
  Yeah.
• 21:20
  Yes.
• 21:21
  Yeah.
• 21:21
  And apparently, really, it's women's.
• 21:23
  It's women's.
• 21:24
  Does she do men's?
• 21:25
  No, just women's.
• 21:25
  Yeah, so that's why I've never been there.
• 21:27
  No.
• 21:27
  Yeah.
• 21:27
  But she's a great, great community supporter.
• 21:30
  Yeah.
• 21:31
  What a great story she has.
• 21:34
  And she started this, and now it's doing well.
• 21:36
  And people seem to love her clothes.
• 21:38
  Women love her clothes.
• 21:39
  It's awesome.
• 21:39
  Exactly.
• 21:40
  I'm really excited about that.
• 21:41
  We also have the owner of, coming on, Backyard Birds in Spruce Grove.
• 21:48
  Okay.
• 21:49
  This one is going to be exciting.
• 21:50
  Backyard Birds.
• 21:51
  I'm not even kidding.
• 21:52
  I know.
• 21:54
  Like, straight up, total transparency.
• 21:57
  I'm not a fan of birds. He's afraid of birds.
• 21:58
  I'm afraid.
• 21:59
  I'm afraid of birds.
• 22:00
  They scare me.
• 22:02
  And when I see them, I freak out.
• 22:04
  But she's going to come and tell us all about birds, and feeding birds, and what kind of birds, and I'm really looking forward to that.
• 22:12
  It's such a success story.
• 22:14
  She's quite young, and she's won numerous awards already.
• 22:18
  She's fabulous, so I can't wait to have her on.
• 22:20
  She has a whole store for birds.
• 22:21
  Yes.
• 22:21
  A whole store.
• 22:22
  I love it there.
• 22:22
  For birds.
• 22:24
  Pretty incredible, actually.
• 22:25
  I'm looking forward to it.
• 22:26
  And I'm hoping that by the end of that podcast, some of my fear of birds will be gone.
• 22:31
  I hope so.
• 22:32
  Me too.
• 22:32
  So see, folks, we try to help.
• 22:35
  If you're like me, and I'm not the only one, you might have a fear.
• 22:39
  You listen, and hopefully you'll have a little different idea.
• 22:43
  Yes.
• 22:43
  We have one of the owners from the Sea Change Brewery coming on.
• 22:47
  Okay, let's tell this story because this is good because a while back we had Dan Cote-Rosen on, who works for the Oilers Entertainment Group as their marketing guy.
• 22:57
  But he also is the founder of Flat Boy Burgers.
• 23:02
  And the reason we're telling you this is because Flat Boy Burgers, where they are right now, is located in the Sea Change Brewery.
• 23:11
  That's right.
• 23:12
  So, you can go in and get a Sea Change Brew, but you can get a Flatburger.
• 23:17
  But they're expanding.
• 23:18
  And their story of how they started is so cool.
• 23:20
  I know.
• 23:21
  So, and we're, I'm going to just say it, we're very fortunate to have them.
• 23:24
  Yes, we are.
• 23:25
  Because they don't often do interviews.
• 23:27
  So, I'm not going to say breaking news, but we're pretty fortunate.
• 23:31
  We are.
• 23:31
  It's going to be cool.
• 23:32
  It will be very, very cool.
• 23:33
  I'm very excited about that one.
• 23:34
  They do, like you said, they have an amazing story to tell.
• 23:37
  And so, that's going to be cool, Sea Change Brewery, and they do all kinds of really cool craft beers and drinks and things like that.
• 23:43
  And that's really awesome.
• 23:44
  And we're going to hear that.
• 23:45
  And he'll probably talk about Flat Boy Burgers a little bit.
• 23:47
  I'm sure.
• 23:48
  At Shiddy's over there.
• 23:49
  Yeah.
• 23:49
  And I just read the other day where Sea Change is opening in Calgary.
• 23:54
  And Flat Boy is opening in Beaumont.
• 23:58
  Okay.
• 23:59
  Yeah.
• 24:00
  So all these people we've had on, they're growing.
• 24:03
  Right?
• 24:04
  I'd like to say it's because of the podcast.
• 24:06
  Okay, no, but wait, let's back up there for a minute.
• 24:09
  Yes, okay.
• 24:10
  Because you were telling me the other day, where were you, that the individual told you that people came into their store because they heard it on the podcast.
• 24:19
  I was at Ben's Meats.
• 24:20
  Ben's Meats.
• 24:21
  Yes.
• 24:21
  I was buying my 25 pound turkey.
• 24:24
  It was massive.
• 24:25
  Can I just say, though, before I tell you the story, they thought they'd be really funny when I got there, because they know me, they know us, they know you.
• 24:32
  And so I arrived to pick up my, and they knew I was coming to get my turkey.
• 24:35
  So they went in the back and they brought two little chickens.
• 24:39
  And they had these big smile on their faces.
• 24:41
  And it was like, and I'm like, they thought it was so funny.
• 24:45
  Then they started laughing.
• 24:46
  And they went to the back and they brought out my big 25 pound turkey.
• 24:50
  Anyway, I went up to the front to pay.
• 24:52
  And if you've ever been to Ben's Meats, Dave's office is right by the cash place where you pay.
• 24:58
  And I said, hey, is Dave there?
• 25:00
  And he heard my voice.
• 25:01
  And he said, yeah, yeah.
• 25:02
  He goes, yeah.
• 25:03
  And so I peeked my head around the corner.
• 25:05
  And he said, Cam, I just want to tell you that somebody told us the other day that they came because they'd heard the podcast and they came and they thought it was great.
• 25:14
  And now they're a customer.
• 25:15
  Amazing.
• 25:16
  I know.
• 25:16
  See, so I'm just saying.
• 25:18
  And we've had that similar story with Mike Chadi from Wing Snob and that sort of thing.
• 25:23
  So I'm just saying, folks, we don't tell you about a place or have a guest on unless we believe in them.
• 25:29
  Agreed.
• 25:30
  That's right.
• 25:31
  And I believe in their turkeys.
• 25:35
  And their other stuff.
• 25:38
  They make a red wine salami that's unbelievable.
• 25:41
  You can't buy it anywhere else.
• 25:42
  Everybody else has stopped.
• 25:43
  I know.
• 25:44
  Not at Ben's.
• 25:45
  Yeah, it's amazing.
• 25:46
  And if you like black licorice, if you like candy.
• 25:50
  Any kind of Dutch candy.
• 25:51
  That's right.
• 25:51
  If you need wooden shoes.
• 25:53
  A wheel of cheese.
• 25:55
  A wheel of Gouda.
• 25:56
  A whole wheel of Gouda cheese.
• 25:59
  Amazing.
• 25:59
  Anyway.
• 26:00
  Yeah.
• 26:00
  So people listen.
• 26:02
  And but thank you, listeners, for going to the places that we talk about and have guests on.
• 26:06
  Yeah, support them because they're all great. Appreciate that! I know.
• 26:08
  They're really good.
• 26:09
  So we really try to support small business owners.
• 26:12
  Yes.
• 26:13
  Well, yeah, local people.
• 26:15
  Do we not also have an Olympic person coming on?
• 26:20
  Oh, I'm so excited.
• 26:20
  Because the Olympics are coming up in February.
• 26:23
  They are.
• 26:24
  And we have a special guest.
• 26:25
  Katherine Plouffe.
• 26:26
  Katherine Plouffe.
• 26:27
  Canadian National Women's Basketball Team.
• 26:30
  That's right.
• 26:30
  That's not Winter Olympics.
• 26:31
  No.
• 26:32
  Unless they play on ice.
• 26:33
  But that's Summer Olympics.
• 26:35
  But she's on the Olympic National Canadian National Team.
• 26:39
  So can't wait to have her on.
• 26:40
  I've met her and she's tall.
• 26:42
  Now, there's been a few tall guests.
• 26:45
  Well, true.
• 26:46
  Dr. Randy Gregg, Jordan Baker.
• 26:49
  Randy Gregg referred to my shortness.
• 26:51
  But anyways, nonetheless.
• 26:52
  But yeah, she's tall and she's amazing.
• 26:55
  She plays on the national team.
• 26:57
  She does basketball clinics and she works for, volunteers with Adeara, who we've had Adeara on the podcast.
• 27:05
  See, all of it. It all connects.
• 27:07
  It's just like a big universe.
• 27:09
  It connects.
• 27:10
  It's amazing.
• 27:11
  There's still some guests I'd love to have on.
• 27:13
  So if they're listening, people like maybe like Tim Cook from Apple, if he's available.
• 27:19
  I'd like to, I've mentioned that.
• 27:21
  And I'm believing that one day somebody's going to play him this and go, hey, these guys are talking about you.
• 27:25
  And he'll phone up and say, I'll be on.
• 27:27
  You never know.
• 27:28
  I hear he's retiring.
• 27:28
  So he'll need something to do.
• 27:30
  Sure.
• 27:31
  You know, so yeah, just saying.
• 27:33
  Exactly.
• 27:33
  Wouldn't you love to have the Apple guy on?
• 27:36
  Quite something.
• 27:36
  Oh, I'd ask him like, what's going to be in the new iPhone?
• 27:40
  I've got some things I'd like to talk to them about with Apple.
• 27:44
  I've got issues with Apple.
• 27:45
  I do have issues with Apple.
• 27:47
  Apple products, oh my goodness.
• 27:49
  So I guess what we're saying, is there any other guests you want to talk about?
• 27:52
  Oh, no, I think that's a good selection coming up.
• 27:56
  We're still booking.
• 27:57
  And it's going to be a great 2026.
• 27:59
  It really is, folks.
• 28:00
  I'm very excited about it.
• 28:01
  And I know you miss it when we don't have a guest, but I know you also like it when Jennifer and I just throw it out there.
• 28:08
  Well, this was a really random show.
• 28:12
  And I was a little worried because Jennifer coming to work this morning, her frame of mind was a tad, it was, with my blood pressure, it was a bit postal, it was a little high.
• 28:20
  I was a bit worried about that.
• 28:21
  Yeah.
• 28:23
  It's calmed down.
• 28:24
  It's the nice tropical green tea at the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 28:26
  She's, she's, she's calmed down considerably.
• 28:28
  So it's good.
• 28:29
  It's all good.
• 28:30
  So anything else you want to just, you want to see if our horoscopes are correct?
• 28:36
  We've never done horoscopes.
• 28:37
  I don't.
• 28:38
  Okay.
• 28:39
  Let's see.
• 28:39
  I don't, I don't, I've never read mine.
• 28:41
  I don't, I don't even know what I am.
• 28:43
  I'll tell you what you are.
• 28:43
  What am I?
• 28:44
  You are Cancer.
• 28:46
  What?
• 28:46
  And I'm an Aries.
• 28:47
  You're an Aries.
• 28:49
  I don't know if we're supposed to get along.
• 28:52
  Do we fight?
• 28:53
  I don't know.
• 28:54
  Because you know how some signs are like.
• 28:55
  Tell us about yours.
• 28:56
  What's yours?
• 28:57
  What are you going to?
• 28:58
  Aries?
• 28:58
  Okay.
• 28:59
  And I'll tell you from my opinion if I feel this is accurate.
• 29:03
  And I'll tell you.
• 29:03
  Okay.
• 29:04
  Ready?
• 29:05
  Okay.
• 29:05
  Yes.
• 29:05
  Aries people are born doers.
• 29:09
  They like action and have no trouble jumping into any activity that they deem desirable.
• 29:14
  I'd agree with that.
• 29:15
  Yeah.
• 29:17
  To be able to relax, they first have to use up their energy.
• 29:23
  Taking a walk or playing pickleball.
• 29:25
  Playing what?
• 29:26
  Pickleball.
• 29:28
  I tried to get you to play pickleball.
• 29:29
  I know.
• 29:29
  I haven't played pickleball.
• 29:30
  You won't play.
• 29:30
  Okay.
• 29:31
  Listen.
• 29:31
  But then settling down with a nice cup of tea.
• 29:34
  Oh, come on.
• 29:34
  And a favorite book will begin to calm them.
• 29:37
  Yeah.
• 29:38
  That's you.
• 29:38
  That's true.
• 29:39
  Except for the pickleball part.
• 29:40
  Except for the pickleball.
• 29:41
  That's pretty much you.
• 29:41
  A nice cup of tea and a book.
• 29:43
  I know.
• 29:44
  Really?
• 29:44
  Yeah.
• 29:45
  Okay.
• 29:45
  You ready for you?
• 29:46
  I don't know.
• 29:47
  Okay.
• 29:48
  Okay.
• 29:49
  Cancers are dedicated to home and family.
• 29:52
  Okay.
• 29:52
  You are.
• 29:52
  That's accurate.
• 29:54
  Yep.
• 29:55
  Oh, well, I don't know about this.
• 29:59
  Nothing could be more relaxing for them than being in the kitchen stirring pots of soup or baking cookies for the family.
• 30:05
  Well, not the cookies part.
• 30:07
  I made stew over the Christmas.
• 30:09
  You did?
• 30:09
  I cooked stew.
• 30:10
  Okay.
• 30:11
  I made a recipe.
• 30:12
  I made stew.
• 30:13
  Yes.
• 30:14
  Like from scratch.
• 30:15
  Yes.
• 30:15
  I went and bought stew meat and everything.
• 30:17
  Oh, for the more career-oriented, this is you.
• 30:20
  Yeah.
• 30:21
  A soothing drink can help with stress relief.
• 30:24
  Well, no.
• 30:27
  No, no, I don't know.
• 30:29
  Is that not it?
• 30:29
  What?
• 30:30
  It didn't say what kind of drink.
• 30:31
  It doesn't.
• 30:31
  It just says a soothing drink. If it's a bubly.
• 30:33
  It just says a soothing drink.
• 30:34
  Yeah.
• 30:35
  If it's a bubly.
• 30:36
  Yeah.
• 30:37
  Can I just stop there for one second?
• 30:39
  Bubly people bring back cranberry.
• 30:41
  Anyway, that's all I'm going to say.
• 30:42
  They take it away now.
• 30:43
  Christmas is over.
• 30:44
  Anyway.
• 30:44
  Okay.
• 30:45
  I know.
• 30:45
  Is that it?
• 30:47
  Watching an animated movie with homemade popcorn is ideal.
• 30:51
  Yes.
• 30:52
  The Minions.
• 30:53
  Gru.
• 30:54
  I love the Minions.
• 30:56
  I love Gru.
• 30:58
  There are very few movies I go to on opening day.
• 31:01
  Top Gun.
• 31:02
  Yes.
• 31:02
  Because I love Top Gun.
• 31:04
  If I died and came, if I believed in reincarnation, which I don't, I would want to come back as Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Tom Cruise in Top Gun Not in anything else.
• 31:11
  No, no.
• 31:12
  Just Top Gun.
• 31:13
  And secondly, the other movie I go to that when it opening day, The Minions.
• 31:17
  The Minions is so good.
• 31:18
  I love The Minions.
• 31:19
  It's so good.
• 31:20
  I love the way they talk.
• 31:21
  I love Gru.
• 31:22
  I love all of that.
• 31:23
  So that's not far off.
• 31:25
  Yeah.
• 31:25
  Pretty accurate.
• 31:26
  I know.
• 31:27
  I really do.
• 31:27
  I've watched, I think I've seen the last Minions movie many times.
• 31:31
  But anyway, well, that's who we are.
• 31:32
  I mean, that's just who we are.
• 31:35
  That's just who we are.
• 31:37
  Yours was pretty accurate.
• 31:39
  All except the pickleball.
• 31:40
  Yeah.
• 31:41
  Other than that, that was you to a T.
• 31:42
  Right.
• 31:43
  You are a doer.
• 31:43
  You jump in.
• 31:44
  Yeah.
• 31:45
  If you see it, you're there.
• 31:46
  Right.
• 31:47
  That's amazing.
• 31:48
  I know.
• 31:48
  I know.
• 31:48
  I didn't have a hot beverage on mine, though.
• 31:51
  You did.
• 31:51
  You have your tea.
• 31:52
  Yeah, my tea.
• 31:53
  Your tea.
• 31:53
  Right.
• 31:53
  Right.
• 31:54
  Right.
• 31:54
  So that's who we are.
• 31:55
  I don't know what that means in the year of the horse or anything like that, other than, yeah, it's going to be a great year, 2026.
• 32:02
  I want it to be a good year in 2026, because right now, there's just a lot of stuff going on.
• 32:07
  There sure is.
• 32:08
  Like, not all good.
• 32:09
  Not all good.
• 32:09
  You know, the world's in a funny place right now.
• 32:11
  It is.
• 32:12
  You know?
• 32:12
  Yeah, it's a little unsettling.
• 32:14
  It's very unsettling, and you just don't know, and you wonder, okay, is it going to be a good year?
• 32:18
  And then you think, well, some things will be good, and probably some won't.
• 32:21
  I do know one thing.
• 32:22
  I do know this for a fact.
• 32:24
  The podcast is going to be great.
• 32:26
  The podcast is going to be great.
• 32:27
  And if we can bring a little levity into your lives...
• 32:31
  Levity.
• 32:32
  It's a good word.
• 32:34
  It is.
• 32:35
  Does levity mean levitate?
• 32:37
  No.
• 32:37
  No, levity means...
• 32:38
  Humor.
• 32:39
  Humor.
• 32:39
  Humor.
• 32:40
  Humor.
• 32:41
  If we can bring a little humor into your life...
• 32:44
  Brighten your day.
• 32:44
  If you listen to this podcast, and it brightens your day, that's what we're here to do.
• 32:49
  That's what we want.
• 32:50
  But you know the one thing we really want people to do this year, and I'm going to kick it off right here today.
• 32:54
  I'm going to kick it off.
• 32:56
  We really want people to subscribe.
• 32:58
  We do.
• 32:59
  Yes.
• 32:59
  We don't talk about that much on this podcast, but we really want you to subscribe.
• 33:03
  Now, can I just say, here's why you should subscribe.
• 33:08
  Number one, it's because then you will get immediate notification that a new podcast is out, Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam podcast.
• 33:17
  You don't have to worry.
• 33:18
  You don't have to guess when's the next one.
• 33:20
  We always drop it on Thursdays, but you just don't have...
• 33:22
  It's going to be there for you.
• 33:24
  It doesn't mean you have to listen to it right at that moment, but it will be there.
• 33:28
  It's a reminder.
• 33:29
  It's a reminder.
• 33:30
  Which is great.
• 33:30
  It is.
• 33:31
  So subscribe.
• 33:32
  So the year of 2026, we're asking you...
• 33:34
  Is the year of subscribe.
• 33:35
  Subscription.
• 33:36
  So...
• 33:37
  It's free.
• 33:38
  While the Chinese New Year is the year of the Fire Horse, the Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam New Year is subscribe.
• 33:48
  And it doesn't cost you anything to subscribe to our podcast. Not a penny.
• 33:51
  And if you don't know how to do that, all you got to do is go to our podcast on whatever platform you're listening to, and there'll be a little button that will say subscribe.
• 33:58
  And you just hit it.
• 33:59
  Or find a young person in your life and they will do it for you.
• 34:02
  That's what I have to do.
• 34:03
  Yeah, call my daughter.
• 34:04
  How do I do this?
• 34:05
  Anyway, you're right.
• 34:06
  That's what you do.
• 34:07
  And again, the beauty of it is, every Thursday around 12 noon or wherever you are in the world, you're going to get a little note on your phone that says, New episode of Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam.
• 34:19
  And you'll be so excited because you could right at that moment stop everything you're doing and listen.
• 34:23
  Or you could say, no, I can't right now, but I'll listen a little later on.
• 34:27
  So this year, we want to build our subscribers.
• 34:29
  We do.
• 34:31
  Yeah.
• 34:31
  I've subscribed.
• 34:33
  I hope so.
• 34:33
  Yeah, I did.
• 34:34
  A long time ago.
• 34:35
  Did you subscribe?
• 34:36
  Of course I did.
• 34:37
  Yeah.
• 34:37
  So subscribe.
• 34:39
  Subscribe.
• 34:40
  I'm just saying.
• 34:41
  But also, tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your family, tell your enemies.
• 34:50
  Because again, we need to make 2026 a year of peace.
• 34:55
  And I see no better way than saying, hey, I know we have differences, but I'm going to tell you, listen to Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam, and hopefully it'll bring us back together.
• 35:04
  That's right.
• 35:05
  It'll bond us.
• 35:05
  I like that.
• 35:06
  So that maybe, who knows?
• 35:08
  Thursday night, you have a listening party with your enemy.
• 35:12
  You might.
• 35:12
  A little glass of wine or a bubly, a little bag of chips or cheese-ies. Or cheese-ies.
• 35:18
  Some people, won't say anything about that.
• 35:20
  Anyways, and then you just, yeah.
• 35:23
  And that's what you do.
• 35:24
  If you don't have any friends, and you know, that happens.
• 35:28
  This is a great way to make a friend.
• 35:31
  No, why are you laughing?
• 35:32
  It does happen.
• 35:33
  No, I know.
• 35:36
  It just does.
• 35:37
  Anyway, this is a good way to make a friend, because you can just say to somebody, hey.
• 35:42
  It's a good icebreaker.
• 35:43
  Yeah, you want to come over and listen to the Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam.
• 35:49
  Or you know what else you could do?
• 35:50
  People don't think of this.
• 35:51
  If you're like listening to it on your phone, and you have your earbuds in, whether they're your, what do they call it?
• 35:58
  iPod, AirPod?
• 36:00
  AirPod things or whatever.
• 36:01
  Samsung, Bose, or whatever.
• 36:03
  You could be sitting there, take one out, wipe it off, and give it to the person sitting next to you and say, listen to this.
• 36:10
  Let's share.
• 36:11
  Listen to this.
• 36:12
  And they'll be like in awe.
• 36:14
  They'll be in awe that you did that, and they'll be in awe because of the podcast.
• 36:17
  That's right.
• 36:18
  That's all I'm saying.
• 36:19
  So, I'm just, I don't, I'm, I'm, that, I, that, I'd do that.
• 36:25
  Or if you're on a airplane and your a neighbor.
• 36:28
  Did you, did you read today about West, oh, I shouldn't say the airline.
• 36:32
  About, about their, they're narrowing the seats.
• 36:35
  Okay, this, I, They're not reclining anymore.
• 36:37
  This is gonna be another podcast.
• 36:38
  And there was a politician in Canada who with her family was flying and she videoed it.
• 36:45
  And her comment was, you have to buy a second seat just to fit your legs in.
• 36:50
  Like, what is that?
• 36:51
  This is, that's gonna be pet peeves part three.
• 36:53
  Anyway, I'm just, that's, I'm getting off on a tangent.
• 36:55
  But I'm just saying, share the podcast, subscribe to the podcast.
• 37:01
  Because you know what?
• 37:01
  We just, we want to bring, like Jennifer said, a little levity.
• 37:04
  That's right.
• 37:05
  I like that word, levity.
• 37:06
  I'm gonna use that word, levity, a lot.
• 37:08
  It's the word, we're gonna say it's the word of 2026.
• 37:11
  Levity?
• 37:11
  Levity.
• 37:12
  Yeah.
• 37:13
  You know how, like, the Oxford Dictionary comes up with the word of the year?
• 37:16
  I'm declaring it right now.
• 37:17
  This is gonna be our, okay, you better remember that, that on every podcast, on every podcast, we're gonna have to talk about levity.
• 37:26
  Okay, levity.
• 37:27
  It's good.
• 37:28
  Anyways, well, folks, I don't know where else we want to go with this, but.
• 37:34
  Thanks for listening.
• 37:35
  Thanks for listening.
• 37:36
  Thanks for supporting.
• 37:39
  And whatever you do this year, make 2026 a year of wings at Wing Snob.
• 37:45
  And printing.
• 37:45
  And printing at Mprint.
• 37:47
  That's right.
• 37:48
  And.
• 37:49
  You can get your own bobblehead made.
• 37:51
  Yes.
• 37:52
  Or your own.
• 37:53
  While you're eating wings.
• 37:54
  While you're eating wings.
• 37:55
  Or you're, while you could get your own Yeti water.
• 37:59
  Engraved.
• 38:00
  Tumbler.
• 38:00
  Is that what they're called?
• 38:01
  Tumbler?
• 38:01
  Yeah, Tumbler.
• 38:02
  Engraved.
• 38:03
  Then go to Wings.
• 38:04
  Yeah.
• 38:06
  Wouldn't that be great?
• 38:07
  We start this revolution of people sitting at Wing Snob with their engraved Yeti's.
• 38:12
  Just drinking out of their Yeti's.

• 38:21
  We better ask him.
• 38:22
  We better ask.
• 38:22
  Yeah.
• 38:22
  But don't do it until we ask.
• 38:24
  We'll get back to you.
• 38:26
  We'll call Mike anyways.
• 38:29
  But yeah.
