  Hi, I'm Jennifer.
• 0:12
  And I'm Cam.
• 0:13
  And you're listening to Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam.
• 0:16
  So, welcome everybody.
• 0:18
  Good morning.
• 0:19
  And welcome to Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam.
• 0:22
  And Jennifer, this is a special edition Coffee In The Park, because it's our?
• 0:29
  Our summertime edition.
• 0:30
  Summertime edition.
• 0:31
  Well, actually, it's nearing the end of summertime edition.
• 0:33
  I know, hard to believe, eh?
• 0:35
  Like, what's today?
• 0:36
  Today is like the 18th of August.
• 0:38
  Can you believe it?
• 0:39
  I know.
• 0:41
  How come when you're a kid, summer goes on forever?
• 0:45
  When you're an adult, it ends like right now.
• 0:47
  I think it has a lot to do with the weather, which we'll get into as we talk on this podcast.
• 0:51
  So, like I said, this is our special edition.
• 0:54
  The guests today are Jennifer and Cam.
• 0:57
  That's right.
• 0:57
  And we are coming to you live at The Wall Coffee Roasters in the heart of beautiful downtown Acheson.
• 1:03
  So if you hear some noises in the background, coffee machines whirring, people talking, kids.
• 1:09
  There are some babies in here today.
• 1:11
  Yeah.
• 1:11
  There's babies here today. There are.
• 1:13
  That's kind of cool.
• 1:14
  So yeah, if you hear those noises in the background, it's because once again, we are live at The Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 1:20
  That's right.
• 1:21
  And we want to tell everybody that Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam is brought to you by Wing Snob Canada.
• 1:28
  That's right.
• 1:29
  Where they're fresh, never frozen.
• 1:32
  That's right.
• 1:33
  Sixteen flavors, four rubs, amazing wings.
• 1:35
  If you've never been to a Wing Snob, you got to check it out because they really are good wings.
• 1:39
  And there's 10 locations.
• 1:41
  Eight in Edmonton, one in Grande Prairie, one in Calgary.
• 1:44
  And they have great wings, great cornbread, great fries, all that kind of stuff.
• 1:50
  And if you've, you know, sometimes you just get tired of like hamburgers or, you know, you just need a good chicken wing.
• 1:56
  Yeah.
• 1:57
  So Wing Snob.
• 1:58
  Check it out at wingsnob.ca.
• 2:01
  Yeah.
• 2:01
  Yeah.
• 2:02
  Good wings.
• 2:02
  You know, Cam, I thought about going to Wing Snob in Calgary as I was passing through on the weekend.
• 2:08
  Yeah.
• 2:08
  But it was too far out of the way.
• 2:10
  On the ring road.
• 2:11
  I didn't want to venture in.
• 2:13
  So Mike Chadi, if you could build a Wing Snob closer to the ring road, Jennifer would appreciate that.
• 2:20
  I would.
• 2:20
  Yeah.
• 2:21
  Anyway.
• 2:22
  Hey, this is our summer special edition today.
• 2:26
  And we're going to talk about all the things that have happened over the summer.
• 2:31
  You know what?
• 2:31
  There's been a lot.
• 2:33
  This has not been a good summer.
• 2:35
  It's terrible.
• 2:36
  Yeah.
• 2:36
  It's been a very rainy, wet summer and a lot of people have felt the effects of this.
• 2:42
  I was driving by the other day, the corn maze.
• 2:45
  Yes, our friends at the corn maze.
• 2:47
  Yes, we've had them on the podcast.
• 2:49
  Dan and Jesse, yes.
• 2:50
  That's right.
• 2:50
  And the corn isn't as high.
• 2:54
  But you know what?
• 2:55
  I'm so happy that the corn maze is open because it could have ended in disaster.
• 2:59
  Yes, true enough.
• 3:00
  Because with our weather we've had this year, they got hail.
• 3:05
  Yeah.
• 3:06
  So as you're driving by, this was kind of interesting because corn is normally really high.
• 3:10
  Really tall.
• 3:11
  People get lost in the corn maze.
• 3:12
  You could see heads as you looked out over the corn maze.
• 3:16
  You could see heads popping up all over the place.
• 3:18
  It was kind of funny, actually.
• 3:19
  But that's my kind of corn maze where I can see over it so I know where to get out.
• 3:22
  That's right.
• 3:23
  You don't feel like claustrophobic.
• 3:24
  I'll never get out.
• 3:26
  You could see over it.
• 3:27
  So yeah, it's been that kind of summer, and everybody's talking about the rain.
• 3:32
  Well, actually, where we are in northern Alberta or north Alberta, we had a lot of rain.
• 3:37
  Southern Alberta has been very dry.
• 3:38
  It's extremely dry.
• 3:40
  When I was down in Canmore this weekend, it was very, very dry and hot.
• 3:45
  It's not like the whole province has been wet.
• 3:48
  No, and I think quite far north, like Fort McMurray area has also been quite hot and dry.
• 3:53
  So we're just kind of stuck, been stuck in this rain pocket, which unfortunately hasn't really made it feel like summer.
• 4:00
  It doesn't feel like summer.
• 4:02
  It has not felt like summer at all.
• 4:04
  And though I know our listeners are used to us talking about the weather.
• 4:09
  Yes.
• 4:10
  I think the farmer's almanac was wrong.
• 4:12
  I don't think they said it was going to be a hot, dry summer.
• 4:16
  Right.
• 4:17
  Maybe we just weren't included in that section of the farmer's almanac.
• 4:21
  My understanding is this was the last farmer's almanac.
• 4:24
  They're not printing another one.
• 4:25
  This is what you told me.
• 4:25
  This is what I heard.
• 4:26
  So they went out wrong.
• 4:29
  But maybe, I don't know, if they are going to do another one.
• 4:31
  Listen, if you are the writers of the farmer's almanac, let us know.
• 4:34
  Is there another edition coming?
• 4:36
  What I want to know is are they right about winter?
• 4:38
  Because I think I read it's going to be a harsh winter.
• 4:41
  Don't say that.
• 4:43
  But I saw a picture the other day where the leaves are already starting to turn.
• 4:47
  Okay, so looking out my front window this morning, leaves from my tree are already falling to the ground.
• 4:53
  Are they really?
• 4:54
  Yes.
• 4:55
  See, it's only August 18th.
• 4:56
  I know, but I didn't know.
• 4:58
  I'm going to chalk that up.
• 5:00
  I'm the eternal optimist, or not.
• 5:03
  Too much rain.
• 5:04
  Too much rain.
• 5:05
  It's too wet.
• 5:05
  You mean the leaves are falling because it's too wet?
• 5:07
  Yeah.
• 5:08
  Okay.
• 5:09
  I don't know.
• 5:09
  No, maybe check that out.
• 5:11
  But you could be right.
• 5:12
  I don't know.
• 5:12
  You could be right.
• 5:13
  Either that or...
• 5:14
  But no, there are pictures.
• 5:15
  And my daughter told me, looking out her patio window in her condo there, the leaves on the tree right out in front of her condo are turning yellow already.
• 5:24
  I know.
• 5:25
  Like it's too early.
• 5:26
  It is way too early.
• 5:28
  When I was a kid, I'm pretty sure the leaves didn't start turning till December.
• 5:32
  Well, no, not really.
• 5:34
  But it's like October for sure, or September.
• 5:36
  It was unseasonably rainy.
• 5:39
  Yeah.
• 5:39
  I think this is the wettest it's been on record.
• 5:41
  You know what I've noticed?
• 5:42
  Because we're coming to you from beautiful downtown Acheson.
• 5:45
  Yes.
• 5:45
  Beautiful downtown Acheson normally is overrun by gophers.
• 5:50
  I think they were drowned out this year.
• 5:52
  I know.
• 5:53
  There has not been that many gophers.
• 5:55
  There has not.
• 5:55
  I don't know where they...
• 5:57
  And okay, I shouldn't say this.
• 5:59
  I'll get...
• 6:00
  Somebody won't like it.
• 6:01
  But in the past, there have been a few gophers on the road that didn't make it.
• 6:06
  No.
• 6:06
  Didn't make it.
• 6:07
  It's a dangerous spot, the semis.
• 6:08
  If you're crossing the road.
• 6:09
  Because Acheson's an industrial park.
• 6:11
  Well, we don't have any crosswalks, Cam, so they don't know where to go.
• 6:14
  They don't press the button for the gopher.
• 6:16
  No, they should.
• 6:17
  Normally, during the summer, there are a few gophers on the road.
• 6:21
  This year, I think I've only seen one.
• 6:23
  I know.
• 6:23
  If that.
• 6:24
  Like, it's been a very strange...
• 6:27
  And people are all over the world.
• 6:28
  It's been very strange like this.
• 6:30
  It's not just Alberta.
• 6:31
  No, you're right.
• 6:31
  It's been very strange.
• 6:32
  It has been.
• 6:33
  Things happening in different countries and continents and all that kind of stuff.
• 6:38
  And I don't know.
• 6:39
  I don't know if it's global warming or global colding or global...
• 6:42
  As you call it, global winding one day.
• 6:44
  Global winding, global raining, global...
• 6:46
  I don't know what it is.
• 6:47
  It's a little depressing.
• 6:49
  It is a little depressing.
• 6:50
  And now as we're heading into fall, and I like fall, fall is a nice time of year, but it just means winter is coming and that doesn't make me excited.
• 6:57
  Really.
• 6:58
  No.
• 6:59
  Not even a little bit.
• 6:59
  I'm not happy about it.
• 7:01
  But anyway.
• 7:02
  Well, hey, listen, did you hear that a bear escaped from the Calgary Zoo?
• 7:09
  I was just going to tell you this.
• 7:11
  So a bear, a grizzly.
• 7:12
  I was so excited to read the story.
• 7:14
  I don't know why.
• 7:15
  Excited to read the story about the bear escaping.
• 7:18
  Listen, if you're from the Calgary Zoo, come on the pod and tell us about the escape. It's a nice zoo.
• 7:24
  We'd like to know, the bear escaped.
• 7:25
  I know.
• 7:26
  So he was a one-year-old grizzly.
• 7:28
  He, yeah.
• 7:29
  So there's two one-year-old grizzly bears.
• 7:31
  They're siblings.
• 7:33
  Their mother was killed.
• 7:34
  Are they twins?
• 7:35
  Well, I don't know, but their mother was killed in self-defense.
• 7:39
  So they were alone.
• 7:41
  Oh, I didn't know this part of the story.
• 7:42
  And so they were...
• 7:43
  They took the bears in?
• 7:44
  They took the bears in at the zoo.
• 7:45
  Oh, at the zoo.
• 7:47
  Okay.
• 7:48
  Yeah.
• 7:49
  I think the one that escaped, I think his name was Fritz.
• 7:51
  Yes, his name was Fritz.
• 7:53
  Fritz the bear escaped from the zoo.
• 7:56
  He crawled over the fence apparently.
• 7:59
  Or the enclosure.
• 8:00
  Well, they went to check on him.
• 8:01
  I guess they do daily checks to see where everybody is.
• 8:04
  And he was gone.
• 8:05
  Fritz wasn't there.
• 8:06
  I'd panic a little bit if I was in charge.
• 8:08
  Listen, if I was the bear zookeeper, and I'm counting bears, and there's supposed to be like three bears, and there's like one, two, and you can't find Fritz.
• 8:18
  No.
• 8:18
  And then Fritz got out.
• 8:19
  It was an all out emergency.
• 8:21
  Apparently it was.
• 8:22
  They called in the emergency, the Calgary emergency response.
• 8:27
  Sorry.
• 8:27
  I'm sorry.
• 8:29
  The SWAT guys are coming to get the bear.
• 8:33
  I could just see, that'd be hilarious.
• 8:35
  And they called the animal control people, or whatever they are, the wildlife people.
• 8:40
  But it sounds like the zoo handled it well themselves.
• 8:43
  This is what I hear.
• 8:43
  Yes.
• 8:44
  They have protocols in place for this.
• 8:46
  As soon as they said they brought in the emergency response people, otherwise known in my day and age as SWAT, I could just see them like surrounding the bear.
• 8:57
  Come out with your hands up.
• 8:59
  It's like, what is the bear doing?
• 9:02
  You know what he was doing?
• 9:03
  He was sitting there eating dandelions on the other side of his enclosure.
• 9:07
  He was free.
• 9:08
  He was no longer in his enclosure.
• 9:11
  He could roam.
• 9:12
  But he didn't roam far from the sounds of it.
• 9:14
  Well, I didn't know this about his sibling.
• 9:17
  Yes.
• 9:17
  I didn't know that.
• 9:18
  That's his sibling in there.
• 9:19
  So he probably didn't want to go too far.
• 9:21
  He's looking through the fence again.
• 9:24
  Why aren't you like coming with me?
• 9:26
  Follow me.
• 9:27
  I'm free.
• 9:28
  But here's my question.
• 9:29
  Yeah.
• 9:29
  He's done it once.
• 9:30
  He'll do it again.
• 9:32
  I'm sure they have to fix the hole.
• 9:33
  You're going to have to shore up that exhibit.
• 9:34
  Yeah.
• 9:35
  It's fixed the hole.
• 9:36
  It wasn't even a hole.
• 9:38
  I think he just like, he just figured it out.
• 9:40
  Yeah.
• 9:40
  And like, isn't that a little bit scary?
• 9:43
  Once a bear has found freedom, an enclosed bear, an encaged bear.
• 9:48
  A grizzly bear.
• 9:48
  Yeah.
• 9:48
  Wouldn't he just, and he was a grizzly.
• 9:51
  Yeah.
• 9:51
  He's a grizzly.
• 9:51
  He wasn't just like a bear bear.
• 9:53
  He was a grizzly bear.
• 9:54
  No.
• 9:55
  And you could imagine, it's a good thing.
• 9:57
  I think it was early in the morning.
• 9:59
  It was before the zoo opened.
• 10:00
  Yeah. Sorry.
• 10:02
  We shouldn't even be laughing about this, but that would not have been good.
• 10:05
  No.
• 10:06
  You pay your $22.50 to get in.
• 10:08
  There he is.
• 10:09
  And there you are confronted with a grizzly at nine o'clock in the morning, who's been eating the dandelions.
• 10:15
  This is why the zoo has their checks and balances in place before the zoo opens.
• 10:19
  Anyway, the good news is they saw the bear, Fritz.
• 10:22
  They tranquilized Fritz.
• 10:24
  They gently carried Fritz back into his enclosure.
• 10:28
  But you can't put them on a leash and say, come on back.
• 10:31
  You can't just drag Fritz.
• 10:32
  So yeah, and so he's okay now.
• 10:34
  But that was a fascinating story.
• 10:36
  I know.
• 10:37
  I've never, I want to know, is that the first time that's ever happened?
• 10:41
  Not with a bear, at any zoo.
• 10:43
  Well, maybe.
• 10:44
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 10:45
  I'm sure it's the first time it happened at the Calgary Zoo.
• 10:47
  The Edmonton Zoo, we don't have, I don't think we have a bear.
• 10:50
  There's no bears.
• 10:51
  No, no, we have an elephant.
• 10:55
  We're laughing because he's been around for a while, she, that elephant, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy's been around.
• 11:02
  Anyways, I'm glad Fritz is OK.
• 11:04
  I'm glad he's back with his sibling.
• 11:06
  I know.
• 11:06
  But this, here's the thing, OK, if a mama bear gives birth to like, say, two bears, they're usually at the same time.
• 11:15
  Are they twin bears?
• 11:17
  In a human, when you give birth, you're right at the same time.
• 11:19
  This is a good, we have to, we need a biologist on.
• 11:22
  Yeah, we do.
• 11:23
  Don't we have a biologist coming on?
• 11:25
  We have an invertebrate zoologist next week.
• 11:29
  He might know.
• 11:31
  Well, he's invertebrate, so it's not his department.
• 11:33
  Anyway, so that was kind of interesting about Fritz and one of the happenings and the goings on here in the province of Alberta.
• 11:41
  It is a good zoo, though.
• 11:42
  Oh, it's Calgary Zoo.
• 11:43
  Calgary Zoo is great.
• 11:44
  Can I tell you my Calgary Zoo?
• 11:45
  Sure.
• 11:45
  I went many years ago to the Calgary Zoo.
• 11:47
  They have a gorilla.
• 11:49
  They do.
• 11:49
  Yes, they do.
• 11:50
  And it's in this enclosure, and it's a huge glass.
• 11:54
  And you look at the gorilla.
• 11:56
  And so I was with a bunch of people, and I was being a bit goofy, and I pressed my face right up to the glass, and all of a sudden the gorilla came charging to the glass and bang! Hit the glass.
• 12:08
  You're not supposed to make eye contact with the gorilla.
• 12:09
  Well, it scared everybody and me, too.
• 12:12
  I mean, it was unbelievable.
• 12:13
  He went crazy, that gorilla.
• 12:14
  I didn't know that about the eye contact.
• 12:17
  I didn't know you weren't supposed to do that.
• 12:18
  Dominance.
• 12:19
  Yeah.
• 12:20
  You know, truthfully, it was one of my...
• 12:22
  I've been to Africa a couple of times, Uganda.
• 12:24
  And Uganda is famous for its gorillas.
• 12:27
  And I wish now I had gone on the gorilla trek in Africa.
• 12:31
  Because you get to go sit with the gorillas in the jungle.
• 12:34
  So in Africa, remember there was all like the gorilla poaching and it was like a big thing?
• 12:41
  Yes.
• 12:41
  Was that?
• 12:42
  Yes.
• 12:42
  That's why in Uganda, they started these sanctuaries for the gorillas.
• 12:48
  And you weren't, because people were poaching them.
• 12:49
  Yeah, I watched that movie.
• 12:50
  What was the movie?
• 12:51
  It was Sigourney Weaver.
• 12:52
  Yes.
• 12:53
  Do you remember that?
• 12:53
  Yes.
• 12:54
  What was it called?
• 12:55
  Gorillas In The Mist.
• 12:56
  Gorillas In The Mist.
• 12:58
  Oh, I cried.
• 12:59
  That broke my heart.
• 13:00
  I know.
• 13:00
  And that's one of my only regrets of going.
• 13:02
  I wish I had done that.
• 13:03
  At that time, it was very inexpensive.
• 13:05
  And you just go and you sit with the gorillas.
• 13:07
  And it's pretty incredible.
• 13:09
  But because gorillas are fascinating animals.
• 13:12
  And so, yeah, I wish I had done that.
• 13:13
  But I did see them at the Calgary Zoo, but that wasn't the same as in Uganda.
• 13:17
  Not really.
• 13:17
  No, not really.
• 13:18
  So, yeah.
• 13:19
  Anyway.
• 13:20
  So what else?
• 13:21
  You got something sitting here on the table, I noticed, from The Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 13:25
  This is a new blend.
• 13:26
  It's a limited edition blend called Summertime Sadness.
• 13:30
  Summertime Sadness.
• 13:32
  Is this really the name of it?
• 13:34
  No, seriously, look it is.
• 13:35
  You're right.
• 13:35
  Right on there.
• 13:36
  Summertime Sadness.
• 13:37
  Didn't you see their Instagram reel?
• 13:39
  Oh, yes.
• 13:40
  Yes, with Michael and the rain.
• 13:41
  Yes.
• 13:42
  Oh, that's quite a nice smelling blend.
• 13:43
  It's because of all the rain.
• 13:46
  They should have called it Summertime Happiness.
• 13:48
  Yes.
• 13:48
  Maybe it would change the weather.
• 13:50
  Although today is very sunny and nice and warm.
• 13:52
  But so, hey, have you tried this Summertime Sadness?
• 13:56
  Did you try it?
• 13:56
  I haven't yet.
• 13:57
  Have you?
• 13:58
  No, no.
• 13:59
  I didn't.
• 13:59
  Oh, interesting.
• 14:00
  I think we should because I want to know, I want to know, does it actually taste like, ready?
• 14:06
  Peach, nectarine, and lime zest.
• 14:10
  What?
• 14:10
  Look at.
• 14:12
  You're right.
• 14:13
  Peach, nectarine, and lime zest.
• 14:15
  Really?
• 14:16
  Coffee tasting?
• 14:17
  I don't know about that.
• 14:18
  You know what?
• 14:18
  Iced tea.
• 14:19
  Listen.
• 14:20
  Tea tastes like that.
• 14:20
  You and I are going to get a bag of this.
• 14:22
  We're going to blend it up, and we're going to try it and see.
• 14:24
  We'll try, and then we'll report back.
• 14:25
  And then we'll report back.
• 14:26
  On the Summertime Sadness.
• 14:27
  But it's almost sold out.
• 14:29
  It's sold out?
• 14:30
  Almost sold out, apparently.
• 14:31
  And they're not, it's a special edition.
• 14:33
  Well, Summertime Sadness, summer is almost over.
• 14:36
  Well, do you think you'll do a wintertime?
• 14:37
  We should.
• 14:38
  Wintertime Depression?
• 14:39
  Winter Solstice.
• 14:40
  Winter Solstice.
• 14:42
  I was going to call it Wintertime Depression Coffee.
• 14:45
  Do you want to drink a wintertime depression coffee?
• 14:47
  Well, I don't know if I want to do a summer.
• 14:50
  We got to try this summertime.
• 14:51
  I know, that's what I'm saying.
• 14:52
  We'll take it back and grind it up.
• 14:53
  Okay, what else?
• 14:54
  What else has been going on?
• 14:56
  It feels like summer again.
• 14:57
  It's been too short.
• 14:58
  It's gone by.
• 15:00
  Just like that.
• 15:01
  I have a little bit of a pet peeve.
• 15:02
  Oh, yeah.
• 15:03
  Okay.
• 15:05
  I don't know.
• 15:05
  We weren't going to go down this road, but I'm going there.
• 15:07
  No, let's go there.
• 15:08
  Pet peeve.
• 15:09
  I think people are disappointed when you and I don't share some of our pet peeves.
• 15:13
  Cam, have you noticed this summer, in particularly, the drivers have been horrific?
• 15:23
  Okay.
• 15:24
  Do we really want to go down this road?
• 15:26
  No pun intended, because I'm not disagreeing with you 100%.
• 15:30
  I don't know what's going on.
• 15:32
  I don't know what's going on.
• 15:34
  But I can't handle it.
• 15:35
  Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I almost got into road rage incident?
• 15:38
  Yes.
• 15:39
  You texted me saying I might have had to bail you out of a local prison.
• 15:45
  Yes.
• 15:45
  Yeah.
• 15:46
  Because you were not happy.
• 15:47
  I was not happy.
• 15:49
  I was livid.
• 15:51
  Yeah.
• 15:51
  Yeah.
• 15:52
  Here I am following the rules of the road.
• 15:54
  Yes.
• 15:54
  As you're supposed to do.
• 15:56
  As you do always.
• 15:57
  Yes.
• 15:58
  And.
• 15:58
  Sort of.
• 15:59
  Yeah.
• 15:59
  There were people behind me.
• 16:00
  Yes.
• 16:01
  That were not.
• 16:02
  No.
• 16:02
  And were, oh.
• 16:04
  Were they tailgating you?
• 16:05
  Well, first of all, I slowed down for a yield, which you're supposed to do for a yield.
• 16:11
  What?
• 16:12
  When people are.
• 16:12
  You mean a yield sign?
• 16:13
  A yield sign.
• 16:14
  Yes.
• 16:15
  A yield sign.
• 16:16
  Yield.
• 16:16
  When people are like coming, right?
• 16:18
  Yielding means slowing down.
• 16:19
  It means slowing down.
• 16:21
  It's like an orange light.
• 16:22
  Correct.
• 16:23
  Right.
• 16:23
  Right.
• 16:23
  Okay.
• 16:25
  This woman comes up behind me.
• 16:26
  Yeah.
• 16:27
  And she lays on her horn.
• 16:29
  Because you're yielding.
• 16:29
  Because I'm yielding.
• 16:31
  And she's giving me the finger.
• 16:33
  She gave you the finger?
• 16:34
  Yeah.
• 16:35
  Because you were yielding.
• 16:36
  I was yielding.
• 16:36
  Okay.
• 16:37
  And I almost got out of my vehicle right then and there.
• 16:39
  But I had my child with me, and I thought I would not be a good role model.
• 16:45
  I would hope that would be videoed.
• 16:48
  Oh, in the world of social media, I'm sure somebody would have videoed.
• 16:51
  Because, you know, I follow that like Y-E-G.
• 16:53
  I know the Y-E-G.
• 16:54
  I'd be on Y-E-G.
• 16:55
  Yeah, you'd be on Y-E-G.
• 16:56
  I would.
• 16:56
  Because they're always, I don't know how those people, they get all the great road rage fights.
• 17:01
  Because people just sit there and record it.
• 17:02
  Yeah, they just sit there.
• 17:03
  So, but you didn't get out of your car.
• 17:05
  No.
• 17:05
  No.
• 17:06
  I didn't.
• 17:06
  You didn't.
• 17:07
  Took everything in me.
• 17:08
  Good for you.
• 17:08
  Yeah.
• 17:09
  No, good for you.
• 17:09
  Because you could have hurt the other person.
• 17:13
  She was.
• 17:13
  She.
• 17:14
  Yeah.
• 17:17
  See, now, people who are listening to the podcast, they have this image of you, mild mannered, calm.
• 17:22
  I know.
• 17:23
  And.
• 17:23
  It's not true.
• 17:24
  Well, this summer, I agree with you.
• 17:26
  This summer, I don't know what it is.
• 17:27
  Maybe, maybe, maybe it's summertime sadness or depression with all the rain or whatever.
• 17:32
  I don't know.
• 17:32
  But people are like, and they are, they're driving crazy.
• 17:35
  They are driving crazy.
• 17:36
  It's, it's, I've not, you know, listen, I've had my share this, this summer of people who have just like, I need to say this.
• 17:44
  When you read the driver's manual.
• 17:46
  And we just did because my son just got his learners.
• 17:49
  There you go.
• 17:49
  Okay.
• 17:50
  Which makes me afraid with all the drivers out there.
• 17:52
  Everybody, I think it should be mandatory that everybody reads the driver's manual every two years or something.
• 17:58
  Because you will notice in the driver's manual, it says, slower traffic, keep right.
• 18:04
  Yes.
• 18:05
  Right?
• 18:05
  Yes.
• 18:05
  To allow the free flow of traffic.
• 18:07
  Correct.
• 18:09
  Lately, I've noticed that the left lane is full of slower traffic.
• 18:16
  They don't move over.
• 18:17
  It's driving me nuts.
• 18:19
  I know.
• 18:19
  Absolutely.
• 18:20
  And listen, folks, I don't know if they don't teach it in driving school.
• 18:24
  I don't know if people gloss over it.
• 18:26
  Or do you think people are just oblivious?
• 18:29
  Self-absorbed and oblivious.
• 18:30
  Courtesy says, move over.
• 18:33
  There's the word you just used.
• 18:34
  Courtesy.
• 18:35
  Yeah.
• 18:35
  Yeah.
• 18:36
  It's lacking.
• 18:37
  This is...
• 18:38
  And it causes me angst.
• 18:39
  It causes me an enormous amount of angst.
• 18:42
  I'm cruising at a decent speed, a good speed, a nice speed.
• 18:46
  And then you come up behind somebody who's like, as my mother would have said, out for a Sunday drive.
• 18:52
  Yes.
• 18:53
  Move over.
• 18:54
  Move over.
• 18:54
  Just do the right thing.
• 18:56
  I have been known, and I know, I know this aggravates people.
• 19:00
  I flash my lights.
• 19:02
  Just a little courtesy flash.
• 19:04
  They don't move over.
• 19:06
  A little courtesy flash again.
• 19:08
  And then it just kind of at times goes a little berserk.
• 19:11
  Yeah.
• 19:11
  Then I just flash.
• 19:13
  But just move over.
• 19:16
  It's not a bad thing.
• 19:17
  I think some people think they think they're moving over.
• 19:21
  They're giving in.
• 19:22
  You're not giving in.
• 19:23
  Just move over, to be there.
• 19:26
  It's too much.
• 19:27
  Yeah.
• 19:28
  And I have another pet peeve.
• 19:31
  I went to the movies the other night.
• 19:32
  I went to see Odyssey.
• 19:34
  You did tell me this.
• 19:34
  Yeah, I went to see Odyssey.
• 19:35
  And it has nothing to do with Odyssey.
• 19:36
  No.
• 19:37
  Odyssey is a good movie.
• 19:39
  You got to know a little bit of your Greek mythology to understand Odyssey.
• 19:43
  My favorite character, I don't know if I should say, because maybe somebody hasn't seen it and I don't want to give it away.
• 19:48
  But it's a very good movie.
• 19:49
  But anyway, we went to the movie.
• 19:50
  But this is about customer service.
• 19:52
  This is customer service.
• 19:53
  These days, it costs a lot of money to go to a movie.
• 19:55
  Oh, I know.
• 19:56
  It's not like the old days where it was like a buck or 50 cents to go to the movie.
• 20:00
  I think- For two people, you're looking easily 50 bucks.
• 20:03
  I think for the two of us, for me and Sarah, my daughter, it was $22 and I used scene points.
• 20:12
  If you get food, it's like, yeah.
• 20:15
  Okay, I want to know why popcorn is so expensive in a theater.
• 20:20
  I know.
• 20:20
  Like a small bag of popcorn is like $7.95.
• 20:24
  Or yeah.
• 20:25
  And then I like a little extra butter.
• 20:27
  I'm not going to lie. But you pay for that.
• 20:28
  And I like it layered.
• 20:30
  You pay for the extra butter.
• 20:31
  You're charged.
• 20:31
  And I'm pretty sure they charge you layering fees.
• 20:34
  So by the time you're done, a small bag of popcorn is like $72.50.
• 20:38
  I know.
• 20:39
  You walk out of it.
• 20:39
  Anyways, we went, we got our, and you reserve your seats.
• 20:43
  Yes, you do.
• 20:44
  I do.
• 20:44
  I like sitting on the aisle.
• 20:46
  I do.
• 20:47
  Oh, me too.
• 20:47
  I'm an aisle sitter.
• 20:48
  I know, I agree.
• 20:49
  I don't like to be stuck in the middle.
• 20:51
  We go to our seats.
• 20:53
  We're a little early.
• 20:54
  I like to be a little early.
• 20:55
  I do like all the coming attraction things.
• 20:57
  Anyway, we're a little early.
• 20:59
  We go to our seats.
• 21:01
  There on our row is one of those wet things, wet signs.
• 21:08
  Like they mopped the floor.
• 21:09
  So we thought, oh, okay.
• 21:11
  We looked.
• 21:11
  It didn't look wet anymore.
• 21:12
  They'd probably done it earlier.
• 21:13
  We removed the sign.
• 21:15
  We stepped on to the floor.
• 21:17
  It was so sticky.
• 21:20
  My runners literally stuck to the floor.
• 21:22
  It was so sticky. I hate that.
• 21:23
  I mean, if they mopped it, somebody didn't do a good job, or they used water that had been used for the last 10 years for sticky floors and not changed it.
• 21:32
  They need a little soap. They need a little soap.
• 21:33
  So I wasn't impressed because I'd paid all this money to go to the movie.
• 21:36
  So my daughter kindly goes down and tells the lady, very sticky, very sticky.
• 21:41
  It made a noise.
• 21:45
  The lady gets on her radio, mop, aisle, or row, whatever it was.
• 21:51
  The young guy comes up, but I wasn't impressed.
• 21:54
  So I went down to just calmly talk to the manager.
• 21:58
  And I went down.
• 21:59
  The manager didn't seem all that interested, but and I explained to him, look, I don't pay all this money to come sit on a sticky floor where my shoes are...
• 22:09
  And you weren't rude about it.
• 22:10
  No, I just said...
• 22:11
  And he goes, Oh, well, it's just pop.
• 22:13
  And I said, I know it's just pop. You're just asking for it to be cleaned.
• 22:15
  And now I have pop all over my shoes.
• 22:19
  Anyway, it got a little tense for a moment.
• 22:22
  He did give me two free tickets to another movie of my choice.
• 22:28
  There was a person standing next to me, not an employee, a customer, I think, who decided to get in on the conversation and bawled me out because I was complaining about the sticky floor.
• 22:41
  Right.
• 22:42
  It didn't go well.
• 22:43
  Anyway, all I'm going to say about that.
• 22:45
  So all I want to say about that is if it's not your conversation, don't enter the conversation.
• 22:52
  I want to give you some kudos.
• 22:54
  Yes.
• 22:55
  Kudos for you for talking to the manager and not like a teenage worker and bawling the teenage worker out because too much of that happens.
• 23:04
  I know, and it's not his fault, obviously.
• 23:05
  Mind you, Sarah said I wasn't there when he came up.
• 23:08
  He was a teenage guy to mop the floor.
• 23:11
  He wasn't really thrilled or impressed, but who would be?
• 23:14
  I mean, who's thrilled or impressed about mopping a floor?
• 23:17
  But the manager, he was not impressed.
• 23:19
  He just didn't seem to care.
• 23:21
  He just gave me two free tickets.
• 23:23
  But anyway, so anyway, I want to say two things.
• 23:26
  One, you're paying a lot of money to go movie, so keep the theater clean.
• 23:31
  Two, if you are talking to the manager and you're just standing there, don't get in on the conversation.
• 23:37
  Well, how is it anybody's business?
• 23:38
  It wasn't his business.
• 23:39
  No.
• 23:39
  Anyway, but that being said, enjoyed the movie.
• 23:42
  Three hours long, I didn't fall asleep.
• 23:45
  I was kind of impressed.
• 23:45
  That is.
• 23:46
  Because sometimes even in the hour and a half movies, I tend to nod.
• 23:50
  But it kept me going.
• 23:51
  So if you haven't seen Odyssey, go see Odyssey.
• 23:52
  Good movie.
• 23:52
  You're going to go see Spider-Man?
• 23:53
  Yeah.
• 23:54
  Also another big summertime movie.
• 23:55
  Because I got free tickets.
• 23:57
  So I can go see Spider-Man.
• 23:58
  Get your free tickets.
• 23:59
  See, it all worked out.
• 24:00
  Do you remember Spider-Man?
• 24:01
  Do you remember the original cartoon?
• 24:04
  I do.
• 24:04
  I watched it.
• 24:05
  On Saturday mornings or whenever?
• 24:06
  I watched it every morning.
• 24:07
  Spider-Man.
• 24:07
  Spider-Man.
• 24:08
  It's the best.
• 24:08
  Weaves a web.
• 24:09
  No one can.
• 24:10
  Kids now wouldn't know what that is.
• 24:11
  Never know.
• 24:12
  It's like Batman.
• 24:13
  The original Batman show.
• 24:15
  On the original Batman show, the original show, whenever Batman or Robin got into a fight and they hit somebody on the screen, it would go like pow or wham.
• 24:27
  Cartoon one or when Adam West was Batman?
• 24:29
  Yeah, when Adam West.
• 24:32
  Yeah, I like that.
• 24:33
  I know.
• 24:34
  Yeah, that was cool.
• 24:36
  Now Batman, he doesn't even look like Batman.
• 24:40
  I've lost track of how many Batmans there actually have been.
• 24:44
  There's also been a million Spider-Man, but I hear this Spider-Man is very good.
• 24:48
  Who's the lead actor in this one?
• 24:50
  I don't know.
• 24:53
  A young guy who apparently his leading woman he's married to in the movie and in real life.
• 25:00
  No, not in the movie.
• 25:01
  I don't think Spider-Man married in the movie.
• 25:03
  No, Spider-Man's not married.
• 25:04
  He doesn't have time for that.
• 25:05
  No, no, he's weaving webs wherever he goes.
• 25:08
  That's right.
• 25:09
  So yeah, anyway, I'm going to go see that.
• 25:11
  But everybody says that's a great movie.
• 25:13
  I'm going to go see that movie.
• 25:15
  So yeah, that's what I'm going to do this summer. Free.
• 25:18
  So yeah, as you can tell, we had just the most exciting summer ever.
• 25:25
  But yeah.
• 25:26
  No, I was busy with baseball all summer.
• 25:27
  Yeah, you had baseball going and you had a little, some little trips there and stuff like that.
• 25:32
  And I was just around here building an ark and hoping that we didn't have to fill it.
• 25:38
  But yeah.
• 25:39
  The other thing that is really wrecked summer.
• 25:41
  Yeah.
• 25:42
  And I'm excited to talk to our guest next week about this, mosquitoes.
• 25:48
  Normally, they die off by this point.
• 25:51
  No, no, no, they're.
• 25:52
  They have been here all summer long.
• 25:54
  As I was preparing myself to be ready for today, when I got up in the bathroom, doing my hair and all that kind of stuff, there was a mosquito.
• 26:03
  They're everywhere.
• 26:04
  Yeah.
• 26:04
  I know.
• 26:05
  So I have to stop.
• 26:07
  And it's hard when you're in the middle of brushing your teeth.
• 26:10
  You can't just stop brushing your teeth.
• 26:12
  But there he is.
• 26:14
  And I'm like, he's going to land.
• 26:16
  He's going to land.
• 26:17
  But you got to get them while they land, because otherwise, they'll be in your house.
• 26:20
  So I have, I feel like today, my teeth are not sufficiently brushed because I had to stop, rinse and kill the mosquito.
• 26:28
  And they're everywhere.
• 26:30
  I know.
• 26:30
  And I'd like to say this as well.
• 26:32
  And next week, we'll talk about this.
• 26:34
  They're bigger than usual.
• 26:36
  They're huge.
• 26:38
  Do you not notice that?
• 26:39
  Well, they are.
• 26:41
  They're big.
• 26:42
  They're not little mosquitoes.
• 26:43
  This is why I have so many questions for our guest next week about the different breeds of mosquitoes.
• 26:48
  Well, there is different breeds.
• 26:49
  I know that.
• 26:50
  And I feel like, and there was a point this summer where you felt maybe you had got the West Nile virus.
• 26:55
  Well, I said that last week.
• 26:56
  Yeah.
• 26:57
  I self-diagnosed.
• 26:59
  You were feeling a little under the weather.
• 27:01
  I was.
• 27:02
  And I'm like, I think I have West Nile.
• 27:03
  I think I have West Nile.
• 27:05
  And you just like, you just laughed at me.
• 27:07
  Because you Googled it.
• 27:10
  You Googled that you had the West Nile virus.
• 27:12
  But then I heard that the West Nile was in these mosquitoes.
• 27:15
  No, it's true.
• 27:16
  So I don't know.
• 27:18
  Maybe I was bit and.
• 27:19
  I got the West Nile.
• 27:20
  Sorry, I maybe wasn't as compassionate as I should have been when you came in and said you felt you had the West Nile.
• 27:26
  It's not like I came in and said I had Ebola.
• 27:30
  I think I said that to you.
• 27:32
  Are you sure you don't have the Ebola?
• 27:33
  Yeah, no.
• 27:34
  Because you were like...
• 27:37
  Anyway, I don't...
• 27:38
  Good news is you don't have the West Nile.
• 27:40
  I don't think so.
• 27:41
  I don't think so.
• 27:42
  What are you doing?
• 27:43
  Is that a mosquito?
• 27:45
  I think there was a mosquito.
• 27:46
  They hear us talking about them, and they're coming together.
• 27:49
  I know.
• 27:49
  Okay, so good news is you don't have the West Nile.
• 27:54
  You don't have the Ebola, but you're right.
• 27:56
  The mosquitoes are everywhere.
• 27:57
  Now I'm itchy because you said mosquito.
• 27:59
  But they are there just everywhere.
• 28:02
  I'm itchy now that you said that.
• 28:04
  And they actually said this week, they're just...
• 28:08
  The rain hasn't stopped, and the puddles don't go away.
• 28:11
  Right, that's what the mosquito's like.
• 28:13
  That's where they breed, that's where their eggs are.
• 28:15
  And did you know their eggs can lay dormant for a very long time and all they need is water and then boom.
• 28:19
  I didn't know that.
• 28:20
  This is why next week, I feel like I'm excited about this guest.
• 28:24
  I think we should have had him a little earlier.
• 28:26
  I know.
• 28:26
  We couldn't arrange it, but because it's been quite a year for mosquitoes.
• 28:30
  Exactly.
• 28:31
  Listen, everybody has their remedy for warding off mosquitoes.
• 28:38
  I know.
• 28:39
  You have yours, your little machine.
• 28:41
  Well, they work.
• 28:41
  Yeah.
• 28:42
  They do.
• 28:42
  Today, I saw, I'm not kidding you, I saw this on the, it was either on the Facebook or the Instagram, not the LinkedIn.
• 28:49
  LinkedIn usually doesn't have stuff like this.
• 28:51
  I think it was on the Instagram.
• 28:53
  A lady cut a lime in half, put toothpicks in it, put on the bottom half, put cloves on the lime, stuck the top half on the toothpick.
• 29:04
  So it was like, yeah, a little gap, stuck it on the table and apparently that gets rid of them.
• 29:07
  I don't know.
• 29:08
  You know what that sounds like to me?
• 29:09
  What?
• 29:10
  A wasp attractor.
• 29:11
  Oh, a wasp attractor.
• 29:12
  Yeah.
• 29:13
  I haven't seen any wasps.
• 29:14
  No, they're out.
• 29:16
  Are they?
• 29:16
  Last night.
• 29:17
  Not by my house.
• 29:18
  Yep.
• 29:18
  Okay, because I was quite happy.
• 29:20
  But they're usually closer to the fall.
• 29:23
  True.
• 29:24
  That's right.
• 29:24
  They have you seen any bumblebees?
• 29:27
  I haven't seen many bumblebees.
• 29:28
  In the beginning in spring.
• 29:30
  Bumblebees are very important.
• 29:31
  We need the bumblebees.
• 29:33
  I don't like the wasps and I don't like the mosquitoes.
• 29:35
  But somebody told me that wasps eat mosquitoes, but I don't know if that's true.
• 29:39
  Dragonflies eat mosquitoes, and I've started to see more dragonflies.
• 29:42
  Good year for the fly, dragonfly.
• 29:45
  Yeah.
• 29:46
  Anyway, it's been that kind of summer.
• 29:48
  It's kind of funny.
• 29:48
  It sounds like all we've done is complain about summer, but it just hasn't been, it hasn't been the best summer.
• 29:54
  It has not been the best.
• 29:55
  I hope wherever you are, it's been a better summer because here is, I can't say it's been the best summer.
• 30:01
  So, and it's almost over.
• 30:02
  We're heading into fall.
• 30:03
  Two weeks till school begins.
• 30:04
  Oh, my son is thrilled.
• 30:06
  Is he?
• 30:07
  No.
• 30:07
  No.
• 30:07
  Not really.
• 30:08
  No.
• 30:08
  It's only the little grade 3's and 4's and 5's.
• 30:12
  They're so excited.
• 30:13
  It's not even the grade 5's.
• 30:14
  Because they want to see their friends.
• 30:15
  Kindergarten, grade 1, grade 2.
• 30:16
  That's the excitement.
• 30:17
  And then it goes downhill from there.
• 30:19
  And they're so excited because they haven't seen their little friend for so long.
• 30:22
  Now they're going to see him.
• 30:23
  But that wears off really quick.
• 30:24
  But nonetheless, two weeks away, hard to believe.
• 30:27
  Hokey doodles.
• 30:27
  You know what's going to happen with that?
• 30:29
  Here we go again.
• 30:30
  Traffic.
• 30:31
  Yeah.
• 30:32
  It's going to go through the roof.
• 30:33
  It's already picking up.
• 30:35
  It's already picking up.
• 30:35
  But it'll get worse.
• 30:36
  Oh, it'll get much worse.
• 30:37
  Much worse.
• 30:38
  And cars are everywhere.
• 30:40
  Cars are everywhere.
• 30:41
  There are just buses, cars.
• 30:43
  Because the school buses will be out.
• 30:45
  Yes.
• 30:45
  And you have to be careful.
• 30:46
  Yes, you do.
• 30:46
  You have to drive carefully with school buses.
• 30:49
  School, you got to slow.
• 30:50
  Well, now most school zones, it's year round.
• 30:56
  Because there's a lot of playgrounds around them.
• 30:57
  There is.
• 30:58
  So you have to slow down.
• 30:59
  But you got to slow down.
• 30:59
  And people, Public Service Announcement, PSA, when the stop sign comes out on the bus, you cannot go around the bus, because you're going to hit a kid.
• 31:10
  If the bus is stopped, he has his four ways on, and the stop sign comes out, and some of them, even at the front of the bus, have a little bar that swings out, you cannot pass. You must stop.
• 31:20
  But people do.
• 31:22
  It's ridiculous.
• 31:23
  Dangerous.
• 31:23
  Very dangerous.
• 31:25
  Don't do that.
• 31:25
  Where are you going in such a hurry?
• 31:27
  Exactly.
• 31:27
  Settle down.
• 31:28
  Let the little kids get home.
• 31:30
  They've had a hard day at the school.
• 31:32
  They need to be home.
• 31:34
  Safely.
• 31:34
  Safely.
• 31:35
  That's right.
• 31:36
  So maybe closer to, we can again remind people, school's in, be safe, drive safe.
• 31:43
  Don't drive like a maniac.
• 31:45
  Oh, the other story I heard on the news.
• 31:49
  On the news.
• 31:50
  Yeah, on the news.
• 31:51
  Is the number of injuries, severe injuries from e-scooters.
• 31:55
  Yes.
• 31:56
  Did you see that?
• 31:57
  The guy this morning on the news, because you're right, they were talking about it.
• 32:01
  He said, they shouldn't be called scooters.
• 32:03
  No.
• 32:04
  He thinks they should be called mini Teslas.
• 32:07
  That's what he said.
• 32:08
  Well, those things go.
• 32:10
  40 miles an hour.
• 32:11
  I know.
• 32:12
  Did you hear in the city here, a young boy got hit by an e-scooter and it broke his arm.
• 32:15
  Oh, I can see that.
• 32:16
  He wasn't riding the e-scooter.
• 32:18
  He got hit by an e-scooter.
• 32:19
  I know.
• 32:20
  And it broke his arm.
• 32:21
  Oh, I believe it.
• 32:22
  Now, listen, yesterday I was driving home from work and there was like 20 kids on scooters on the sidewalk.
• 32:29
  They were at, looked like, I don't know, like Scooter Gang or whatever they were.
• 32:32
  Scooter Squad.
• 32:33
  Scooter Squad.
• 32:34
  Yeah.
• 32:34
  And they, a lot of them were girls and they were having a good time, obviously.
• 32:37
  Went to the store and got their Slurpee or whatever.
• 32:40
  And I'm thinking to myself, that's kind of cool, but the way some people drive these scooters is insane.
• 32:45
  I know.
• 32:46
  Insane.
• 32:47
  And some of them don't stop at the stop.
• 32:50
  Like, they just go.
• 32:50
  They go.
• 32:51
  Yeah.
• 32:52
  Yeah.
• 32:53
  And they don't wear helmets.
• 32:54
  I heard, yeah, the scooter injuries.
• 32:56
  They were saying injuries are way up.
• 32:59
  Head injuries, shoulder injuries, way up because of scooter accidents.
• 33:03
  I know.
• 33:04
  It's not good.
• 33:05
  No.
• 33:05
  So listen, if you're an adult and you ride a scooter, ride safely. And wear a helmet.
• 33:10
  If you're a child, too.
• 33:12
  I know.
• 33:12
  Oh, that is a...
• 33:14
  But it's like when I was a kid, I never wore a helmet riding a bike.
• 33:17
  Well, maybe that's the way I am today.
• 33:19
  Why I'm why I'm today.
• 33:20
  But I'm just saying you got to wear a helmet.
• 33:23
  You do have to wear it.
• 33:23
  And when you're going that fast.
• 33:24
  Yeah.
• 33:25
  A pedal bike is one thing.
• 33:26
  Yes.
• 33:27
  An e-Scooter.
• 33:29
  Something else.
• 33:29
  Something else.
• 33:30
  And can I just say these?
• 33:32
  I don't know.
• 33:33
  Maybe where you live, they don't have these.
• 33:34
  We have them here.
• 33:35
  Every major city now has them.
• 33:36
  E-bikes.
• 33:37
  Well, yeah.
• 33:37
  And you just whatever you use your app.
• 33:40
  Yeah.
• 33:40
  And you run your scooter for a while.
• 33:42
  Yes.
• 33:42
  And then when you're done, you just drop it and walk away.
• 33:46
  I don't.
• 33:47
  I've had one in front of my house on my sidewalk and I got really, I got really annoyed and I pushed it out of the way.
• 33:52
  Good for you.
• 33:53
  I don't want it sitting there.
• 33:54
  I know.
• 33:54
  It looks terrible.
• 33:55
  It shouldn't be left on the side of the street.
• 33:57
  That's ridiculous.
• 33:58
  Anyway, I don't ride e-scooters or e-bikes, but they are getting.
• 34:02
  I'm afraid I'm going to fall off and break a bone.
• 34:04
  Right.
• 34:05
  They are.
• 34:05
  Yeah.
• 34:05
  Some of them go incredibly fast.
• 34:07
  They are very dangerous, and you maybe should have to take a course.
• 34:12
  When I was a kid, I went.
• 34:13
  You didn't have to.
• 34:14
  It wasn't mandatory.
• 34:15
  The bike rodeo?
• 34:15
  I went to.
• 34:16
  Well, they called it pedal pushers.
• 34:17
  Oh, right.
• 34:19
  And it was a week long in the community, and then I got a badge, and they taught me all the safety hand signals.
• 34:25
  I know.
• 34:25
  All that kind of stuff.
• 34:26
  Maybe we should do that with scooters.
• 34:28
  I don't disagree with you.
• 34:29
  But I don't know.
• 34:30
  The good news is, in about two months, people won't be riding them anymore.
• 34:35
  Remember when we went downtown?
• 34:36
  I can't remember when we went downtown for something.
• 34:38
  It was a hockey game.
• 34:39
  And I said, we should just park far away and take the scooter.
• 34:43
  Yeah.
• 34:43
  No, you're right.
• 34:44
  Just take the e-scooter.
• 34:46
  That's hilarious.
• 34:47
  Yeah.
• 34:48
  No, they're everywhere, and they are cool.
• 34:51
  I'm not denying that.
• 34:51
  My son has one.
• 34:52
  Yeah.
• 34:53
  And if I was younger, I think it'd be cool to ride around on one.
• 34:57
  I know.
• 34:57
  But they're dangerous.
• 34:59
  So I've heard.
• 35:00
  Oh, man.
• 35:01
  This is another summertime issue.
• 35:02
  All I gotta say is we've made summer sound extremely depressing.
• 35:06
  Well, you know what?
• 35:09
  And I'm going to think that one of the best things about summer has been the podcast, listening to the podcast.
• 35:15
  Oh, yeah.
• 35:16
  We've had some great guests.
• 35:17
  Like when you were stuck indoors and couldn't do anything listening to the podcast, sipping some tea, that probably was a good afternoon.
• 35:24
  I agree.
• 35:24
  And the exciting thing is, Jennifer, we have guests.
• 35:28
  We got some cool guests coming.
• 35:30
  I can't wait for them.
• 35:31
  Oh, we're not going to give it away.
• 35:32
  No.
• 35:32
  But we have some very cool guests coming up.
• 35:35
  We did talk about the Mosquito Guy.
• 35:37
  Yeah.
• 35:37
  He's coming.
• 35:37
  He's coming.
• 35:38
  That's going to be cool.
• 35:39
  I know.
• 35:39
  And we've got some other really cool guests.
• 35:41
  We are booked solid.
• 35:42
  We are.
• 35:42
  Which I love.
• 35:44
  What, what, this is, this is what, episode 116?
• 35:47
  116.
• 35:48
  116.
• 35:49
  Wow.
• 35:50
  Incredible.
• 35:50
  It is.
• 35:51
  Amazing.
• 35:52
  Unbelievable, actually.
• 35:53
  I know.
• 35:54
  So hey, well, that's it.
• 35:58
  I don't know.
• 35:58
  Now that we've depressed everybody.
• 36:00
  Well, I don't want people to leave depressed.
• 36:02
  No, don't leave depressed.
• 36:03
  Leave.
• 36:03
  It's good.
• 36:04
  Listen, people might also have had the same summertime issues.
• 36:07
  So we just brought it to light.
• 36:10
  I think everybody did.
• 36:11
  We were all here anyway.
• 36:13
  You know, we have to feel terrible.
• 36:15
  And I do.
• 36:16
  And there's no joke about this.
• 36:18
  The terrible forest fires that have happened in British Columbia, down in the southern area, Penticton, all through their summerland.
• 36:26
  Devastating.
• 36:27
  Devastating.
• 36:28
  And some of that kind of stuff.
• 36:30
  So I think everywhere there has been a lot of flooding all over the place.
• 36:36
  I think it's been a very unique summer.
• 36:39
  And I hope next summer is better.
• 36:42
  We say that all the time.
• 36:43
  I know.
• 36:44
  We do.
• 36:45
  It just seems like, again, when I was a kid, I don't know, it went from July to August.
• 36:49
  Every day was sunny almost.
• 36:51
  The odd day of rain, but every day was sunny.
• 36:54
  That's true.
• 36:54
  My poor patio furniture is extremely soggy.
• 36:57
  Patio furniture, the plants have wilted, the flowers have wilted.
• 37:02
  My neighbors, their flowers are done.
• 37:04
  They're not even out there anymore.
• 37:05
  I've given up.
• 37:06
  Yeah.
• 37:06
  Because I just don't care anymore.
• 37:08
  They're gone.
• 37:08
  They looked beautiful at the beginning, and now I just don't care.
• 37:11
  But once again, depressing.
• 37:18
  I don't want to be Debbie Downer.
• 37:19
  No.
• 37:19
  What would make you happy is if you came to The Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 37:22
  And had the summertime.
• 37:23
  And had the summertime sadness coffee.
• 37:29
  But it's very bright in here and very nice, and there's green foliage in here and a very accommodating staff.
• 37:36
  And yeah, it's absolutely great.
• 37:39
  Great customer service at The Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 37:44
  So the floors aren't sticky.
• 37:45
  No, they're not.
• 37:46
  They're very unsticky.
• 37:48
  I like it.
• 37:49
  They mop them all the time.
• 37:51
  It's nice.
• 37:53
  Anyways, all I got to say is thank you again to Wing Snob.
• 38:00
  That could make your summer happy.
• 38:01
  Right.
• 38:02
  Go get some wings.
• 38:03
  Sure.
• 38:03
  At the Wing Snob.
• 38:04
  Good people.
• 38:05
  I'm trying to think.
• 38:06
  What?
• 38:07
  Do they?
• 38:08
  No.
• 38:08
  Mike doesn't have patios at the Wing Snob.
• 38:10
  No, not usually.
• 38:11
  No, because they're in strip malls.
• 38:14
  True.
• 38:15
  I was going to say, sit on the patio.
• 38:16
  Sit on the patio.
• 38:17
  But you could take them home or to the park.
• 38:19
  Yes.
• 38:20
  Well, again, the mosquitoes.
• 38:22
  But I'm just saying.
• 38:24
  I'm just saying, take them home.
• 38:26
  Maybe eat them inside.
• 38:29
  Because you're going to attract the wasps and get them to hide by the mosquitoes.
• 38:33
  Oh, man.
• 38:34
  Jennifer and I will be embarking on our feel-good tour very soon, making people feel good.
• 38:42
  Because I don't know, today, anyways.
• 38:46
  It's been a week and it's only Tuesday.
• 38:47
  It's only Tuesday.
• 38:49
  Yeah, we dropped this on Thursday, but it's only Tuesday.
• 38:53
  Anyhow, don't forget Wing Snob.
• 38:56
  www.wingsnob.ca.
• 38:57
  If you don't know what to do for dinner tonight, check them out wherever you go.
• 39:01
  And hey, normally we ask our guests one final question, but today I couldn't answer that.
• 39:10
  I could ask you.
• 39:11
  I don't think I can answer it either today.
• 39:14
  I'm not going to do it.
• 39:18
  So listen, thanks for listening.
• 39:20
  And we do sincerely mean that our number, our listenership goes up all the time.
• 39:25
  I know, thank you.
• 39:26
  Our numbers go up, our 116th podcast.
• 39:30
  Nonstop, we've never missed a week.
• 39:33
  No, we have not.

  Some podcasts, they drop one, and then you don't hear from them for a little while, and I'm not, you know, distant anybody.
• 39:42
  We've talked about those podcast stats.
• 39:43
  We have, but we've never missed a week.
• 39:45
  No.
• 39:46
  And we've only done a replay twice, three times.
• 39:49
  But for a purpose.
• 39:50
  It was on purpose.
• 39:51
  It was on purpose.
• 39:52
  That we did it.
• 39:52
  So yeah.
• 39:53
  So hey, so check us out.
• 39:56
  Make sure to tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your coworkers, tell your enemies.
• 40:01
  If you don't have a friend, make one just so you can tell them about the podcast.
• 40:05
  Although this episode might depress them.
• 40:07
  So I don't know.
• 40:08
  Will you keep that friend?
• 40:10
  Well, no, cause you'll both sit there.
• 40:12
  Listen, you can bond over.
• 40:13
  You'll bond over a crappy summer.
• 40:15
  A crappy summer.
• 40:17
  And maybe you can come to The Wall and get some summertime sadness and talk about it.
• 40:22
  And yeah.
• 40:23
  And so yeah, if you don't have a friend, did I say it?
• 40:25
  Make one.
• 40:26

  We should talk about that one day.
• 40:58
  You're not a big Facebook fan, but nonetheless, well, maybe one day we'll get on the Facebook.

• 41:06
  Are we on the TikTok?
• 41:07
