Cam and Jennifer Special Edition: Pet Peeves · Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam

• 0:10
  Hello, everybody, and welcome to another edition of the ABA Coffee In The Park podcast.
• 0:14
  My name is Cam Milliken, and I am here with my co-host extraordinaire, Jennifer Herrick, the executive director of the Acheson Business Association.
• 0:23
  Hello, Jennifer.
• 0:25
  Hello, Cam.
• 0:26
  How are you this morning?
• 0:27
  Oh, it's a great day.
• 0:29
  The sun is shining.
• 0:30
  It's nice.
• 0:31
  It's just a good spring day.
• 0:33
  You know, you were telling me you looked up the other day, and you saw the flock of geese.
• 0:39
  Yes.
• 0:39
  Yes.
• 0:39
  And you were fascinated.
• 0:40
  They were doing that V thing.
• 0:42
  The V thing.
• 0:42
  And they were like, it was huge.
• 0:44
  Like it was this massive V of geese.
• 0:47
  And my initial thought was poor guy at the front has to lead the way.
• 0:51
  If he, if he.
• 0:52
  It's a lot of geese pressure.
• 0:53
  That's pressure.
• 0:54
  If he slips up, do all the geese just fall to the ground?
• 0:57
  I don't know.
• 0:57
  And then I saw the guy at the very back, and I felt bad.
• 1:00
  He's the last guy in the V.
• 1:03
  Like poor goose.
• 1:04
  Like anyway.
• 1:05
  And then I asked you where you thought they were going.
• 1:07
  Alberta Beach, I think.
• 1:08
  Yeah, that's where I think they're going.
• 1:09
  Which is like an hour from here.
• 1:11
  But you said the golf course.
• 1:13
  Yeah, probably.
• 1:14
  Probably the golf course.
• 1:15
  But anyway, yeah, so you know that it's spring when you see the geese is around, and that's pretty cool, I think.
• 1:21
  The geese are the gooses?
• 1:22
  Yeah, I don't know what, I already called them a gaggle of geese.
• 1:27
  We had two out in front of our office the other day.
• 1:29
  Fred and Wilma.
• 1:29
  Fred and Wilma.
• 1:30
  And they were just sitting there.
• 1:32
  But they haven't been back.
• 1:34
  I think they were just there for a snack.
• 1:35
  Well, I honked at them when I drove away, and maybe that scared them off.
• 1:38
  But nonetheless, we digress.
• 1:40
  Hey everybody, thanks for listening today.
• 1:44
  Jennifer, do you have something to tell us about some very important people?
• 1:47
  We would like to thank our gold corporate sponsors, which include the Myshak Group of Companies, Genics, Parkland County, and Bow Valley Credit Union.
• 1:55
  Yeah, and without them, we would not be able to do what we do.
• 1:58
  So thank you all very, very much for helping us.
• 2:02
  Today is a very special show.
• 2:05
  Once again, a very special show.
• 2:08
  Well, every show is very special, but today is very, very special, because again, it's just you and me today.
• 2:17
  We don't have a guest.
• 2:18
  But that's okay.
• 2:19
  No, that's good, because today our theme is, tell everybody our theme.
• 2:24
  Pet Peeves. Pet Peeves! Get ready.
• 2:27
  Buckle up.
• 2:28
  Sit down.
• 2:29
  This is the Pet Peeves show.
• 2:31
  Yes.
• 2:32
  And because you and I, in the course of our conversation, We have a lot of Pet Peeves.
• 2:39
  Some days we have a lot of Pet Peeves.
• 2:41
  And I thought, and you thought, we thought that it would be a good idea to one day just do a show about...
• 2:48
  Everybody has Pet Peeves.
• 2:50
  If you're out there listening to us and you say, I don't have any Pet Peeves.
• 2:52
  You're lying.
• 2:53
  That's one of my Pet Peeves, is that people say, I don't have any Pet Peeves.
• 2:57
  Because everybody has a Pet Peeve about something.
• 2:59
  And I guarantee you, the ones we're about to talk about, people will be nodding their heads saying, yes, you will be driving and we will say our Pet Peeve.
• 3:08
  And you will nod and go, yes, that is a Pet Peeve that I have as well.
• 3:11
  Before we talk about Pet Peeves, Cam, tell our listeners where we're coming from.
• 3:16
  That's right.
• 3:19
  I got so worked up about Pet Peeves.
• 3:21
  I know.
• 3:21
  We are coming to you from the Wall Coffee Roasters in the heart of beautiful downtown Acheson.
• 3:29
  That's right.
• 3:30
  So that means if you hear some noises in the background, coffee machines whirring, people talking, kids screaming, I don't think there's any kids in here today. Not today.
• 3:38
  It's because we're live.
• 3:39
  We're live today at the coffee shop.
• 3:42
  And if you've never been to the Wall Coffee Roasters, you need to come.
• 3:46
  You do.
• 3:47
  Because they have great drinks.
• 3:49
  And spring and summer drinks.
• 3:51
  Like the JC.
• 3:52
  The JC drink.
• 3:54
  This is a drink that Jennifer and I invented.
• 3:58
  And Michael, the owner of the Wall Coffee Consortium.
• 4:02
  Limited time.
• 4:03
  Summer only.
• 4:04
  Summer only.
• 4:05
  Come in, order the JC.
• 4:06
  Very refreshing.
• 4:07
  It's awesome.
• 4:08
  It's sparkly.
• 4:09
  It's refreshing.
• 4:10
  It's got bubbles.
• 4:12
  It's amazing.
• 4:12
  And if you order it, the JC, you'll get 10% off your JC order.
• 4:18
  That's right.

• 4:25
  Who wouldn't want 10% off?
• 4:26
  Everybody wants 10% off.
• 4:28
  These days?
• 4:28
  This.
• 4:29
  That's exactly.
• 4:30
  Yeah.
• 4:30
  That's one of my pet peeves.
• 4:31
  Okay.
• 4:31
  Let's start.
• 4:32
  Okay.
• 4:32
  So I'm going to start.
• 4:34
  Here's my, this is my first pet peeve.
• 4:36
  So I was at Costco on Saturday.
• 4:38
  First mistake on an Easter weekend.
• 4:39
  But I love Costco.
• 4:40
  I know, but I love Costco.
• 4:42
  I go, I could go there every day to Costco, but things are, I did, it's, it's driving me.
• 4:48
  It's, I'm going, first of all, number one, their bagels went up in price.
• 4:51
  Well, I think everything's gone up in price at Costco.
• 4:54
  I know, but, but there's some things that should just never go up.
• 4:58
  But okay, let's get down to the nitty gritty of Costco pet peeve.
• 5:01
  Here is my number one.
• 5:03
  Okay, number one.
• 5:04
  Costco pet peeve.
• 5:05
  Yes.
• 5:05
  Is cart drivers.
• 5:09
  Yes.
• 5:09
  People driving their carts in Costco.
• 5:13
  And they just cut you off, and they just go in front of you, and they don't signal, they don't give you a hand signal.
• 5:20
  They come out of the aisle into the main thoroughfare.
• 5:23
  It should be like bicycles hand signals.
• 5:24
  It's unbelievable, and it drives me crazy.
• 5:26
  Okay, so can I just make a point?
• 5:29
  Yeah.
• 5:29
  And I'm sorry to bring this up.
• 5:32
  But this is the one thing that I wish we would have kept from the days of when we were in COVID.
• 5:36
  Oh, I know where you're going with this.
• 5:38
  Do you?
• 5:38
  Yeah.
• 5:39
  The little arrows.
• 5:41
  I know.
• 5:41
  Up the aisle that showed you which way to go.
• 5:44
  There is nothing worse than going down the aisle of Costco and people have their stupid carts parked right in the middle.
• 5:51
  Well, exactly.
• 5:52
  And so like, okay, people, you park your car in the middle of the aisle.
• 5:56
  Do you do this with your cars?
• 5:58
  Exactly.
• 5:58
  Do you just in the middle of the roadway, stop, get out of your car, go to the bush to go or whatever you're doing, and just leave your car in the...
• 6:05
  Move over.
• 6:06
  Move over.
• 6:07
  Park your cart on the side.
• 6:08
  Now, I have to be honest.
• 6:09
  Do you do this?
• 6:11
  Well, I don't stop in the middle of the road.
• 6:13
  And then, but in COVID, I didn't like those arrows, but that's because it was a bigger issue.
• 6:18
  It was COVID.
• 6:19
  But now don't you wish the arrows were back?
• 6:22
  That's because, you know, people at Costco, I think you need a cart driver license.
• 6:28
  Like before you can get a cart, you have to show your cart driver license so that you know how to drive your cart through Costco.
• 6:34
  Do you know the other problem?
• 6:35
  So carts are so giant, they take up a lot of real estate.
• 6:38
  And I know Costco does that on purpose because they want you to fill your cart.
• 6:41
  Well, they do.
• 6:41
  The other thing that bothers me is people who tailgate you in their cart, and then they hit your heels.
• 6:47
  BAM! And it's like people, people.
• 6:51
  And you don't have cart insurance, so you're, you know, so...
• 6:53
  I don't think I've ever been hit by a cart.
• 6:56
  Oh, I have, I have.
• 6:57
  And it hurts.
• 6:59
  It hurts for a long time.
• 7:00
  Or they come out of the aisle and they smack right into ya.
• 7:03
  And it's like people, people, people.
• 7:05
  And your eggs or whatever just all over the place in your cart.
• 7:09
  You know what?
• 7:09
  Let's talk about another pet peeve at Costco.
• 7:11
  Because this also has to do with traffic and cart issues.
• 7:14
  Yes.
• 7:15
  The sample area.
• 7:16
  This, okay.
• 7:17
  Can I just say people, one sample, one sample, not six.
• 7:22
  Not, it's when the lady's cutting it up, you don't go over and grab six of them.
• 7:27
  Other people want samples.
• 7:29
  I don't care if you have, like you said before, 12 children.
• 7:32
  I exactly.
• 7:33
  Take one.
• 7:34
  No, I agree.
• 7:35
  And, you know, just for example, take say it's a mozza stick and they cut the mozza stick into three and they put them in the little white cups and they put them out on the tray.
• 7:44
  And all of a sudden, somebody just swoops in, takes 12 of them, takes them to the cart with their whole family.
• 7:50
  And then you got to wait.
• 7:51
  Literally their whole family, 12 children, grandparents, six uncles, five aunts.
• 7:56
  And you're standing, you've been waiting for 10 minutes to have a mozza stick.
• 8:00
  It's not acceptable.
• 8:01
  It's unbelievable.
• 8:02
  Really.
• 8:03
  There is etiquette.
• 8:04
  There is Costco sample etiquette.
• 8:07
  Costco etiquette.
• 8:07
  You know what?
• 8:08
  I think there should be a sign when you walk in Costco that everybody should have to read Costco etiquette.
• 8:12
  I think everybody should have to sign an agreement.
• 8:15
  You are going to abide by the Costco rules because it just gets out of hand.
• 8:19
  Well, you know what else is out of hand?
• 8:20
  What's that?
• 8:21
  The lineups.
• 8:22
  Okay.
• 8:22
  And people don't, they have no clue.
• 8:25
  No.
• 8:25
  Now, you were telling me the other day, your biggest pet peeve at the lineups is the self-serve.
• 8:31
  What do you call that?
• 8:32
  The self-checkout.
• 8:33
  Self-checkout.
• 8:34
  Self-checkout at Costco is there.
• 8:37
  If I want to run in and grab eggs and milk and something quick.
• 8:40
  No.
• 8:41
  You are not supposed to be there with 30 items in your cart.
• 8:43
  Exactly.
• 8:44
  The guy ahead of you has like 4,000 items in the cart.
• 8:47
  He's going through the self-serve or whatever you call that.
• 8:50
  Yes, and they don't even know how to use it.
• 8:51
  No, they don't know how to use it.
• 8:52
  And they're like putting the thing on and taking it off.
• 8:55
  Please remove that.
• 8:57
  The lady's got to come over.
• 8:59
  Please remove that from the cart.
• 9:01
  And it drives me nuts.
• 9:03
  That's what lines are for.
• 9:04
  Exactly.
• 9:05
  So limited number of items in the self-serve.
• 9:09
  I think self-serve should be five items or less.
• 9:11
  I agree.
• 9:12
  Five items or less.
• 9:13
  And so I just need to say it again.
• 9:16
  I love Costco.
• 9:17
  I love it.
• 9:17
  It's your favorite place.
• 9:18
  I do.
• 9:19
  If I'm feeling down and kind of blue, I just go to Costco.
• 9:23
  You know, here's the thing about Costco.
• 9:25
  It's the anticipation of today there's going to be something new.
• 9:29
  You're right.
• 9:29
  Like it's like when something new comes out, it's like, oh, it's like, whoa, this is amazing.
• 9:37
  That's for me.
• 9:38
  That's what it is.
• 9:38
  But I have learned that if you see something and you're like, I'll get it next time.
• 9:43
  No, buy it.
• 9:44
  You have to get it now because it won't be there next time.
• 9:47
  I get in so much trouble from my wife for this because I'll say, let's get it next week.
• 9:51
  And she's like, no, no.
• 9:52
  And then I go back next week and it's gone.
• 9:54
  It's gone.
• 9:55
  And I, oh, then I feel, I feel terrible.
• 9:58
  I go to the front.
• 9:59
  I say to the Costco people at the desk, you know that whatever it was that I wanted, do you have any more?
• 10:06
  And they get in their computer.
• 10:08
  No, we don't have any.
• 10:09
  I'll tell you what.
• 10:10
  So let me just name one.
• 10:12
  Balderson sliced cheese.
• 10:14
  I love Balderson.
• 10:16
  No, I do.
• 10:17
  Balderson sliced.
• 10:19
  I used to buy it.
• 10:20
  I loved it because it was sliced.
• 10:22
  They haven't had Balderson sliced cheese for like eight months now.
• 10:27
  They still have Balderson cheese, but you have to slice it on your own.
• 10:30
  And I went to the lady at the desk.
• 10:32
  I said, excuse me, will you be getting the Balderson sliced back?
• 10:38
  And she said, no, it doesn't look like it in the near future.
• 10:41
  I said, if you had told me this at the time, you would have stocked up.
• 10:45
  I would have bought like 20 packages.
• 10:48
  Probably cheese goes bad, though, too.
• 10:50
  Well, but they don't tell you and you don't know.
• 10:52
  You don't know.
• 10:53
  So see, I agree with you 100%.
• 10:55
  You got to get it while it's there or you don't know.
• 10:58
  You just bought something there.
• 11:00
  You bought a wagon.
• 11:01
  I did.
• 11:02
  A wagon.
• 11:02
  Yeah.
• 11:03
  Because you're the team manager of your son's baseball team.
• 11:06
  Well, that's a whole other pet peeve.
• 11:07
  That's another pet peeve?
• 11:08
  Yeah.
• 11:08
  Do you want to go there now or later?
• 11:09
  Not yet, I'm not done with Costco.
• 11:10
  Not done with Costco.
• 11:11
  OK, so yeah, so that's my...
• 11:13
  But I still love Costco.
• 11:15
  Costco, I love you.
• 11:16
  And so don't ever raise the price of your hot dogs.
• 11:19
  They say they won't.
• 11:20
  No, they say they won't.
• 11:21
  Don't ever raise the price of your chickens, your roast rotisserie chickens.
• 11:26
  Yeah, rotisserie chickens.
• 11:28
  I like those rotisserie chickens.
• 11:31
  And I like their soft serve ice cream.
• 11:33
  It's good ice cream.
• 11:34
  OK, but this is a bit of another pet peeve.
• 11:36
  Yes.
• 11:38
  The way they have the food court set up now.
• 11:41
  I know.
• 11:44
  No, seriously.
• 11:45
  Seriously.
• 11:46
  Like, remember the days when you could easily get a table and people didn't linger?
• 11:50
  People linger far too long.
• 11:52
  OK, can I?
• 11:53
  And I'm just going to say people don't hate me.
• 11:56
  Don't hate.
• 11:56
  But I'm going to just say it.
• 11:58
  When I sit at a table, if it's just me by myself or me and my wife or me and my daughter, whoever, and it's just us two and that leaves two spots.
• 12:06
  If you come and sit beside me, no offense, no offense.
• 12:11
  Don't talk my ear off.
• 12:13
  I just don't, they just talk, talk, talk.
• 12:15
  I'm trying to eat my hot dog, trying to do my poutine, and they just talk, talk, talk about nothing.
• 12:21
  And I just, I just, I need a bit of alone time at the Costco table.
• 12:26
  Costco is a little overwhelming.
• 12:27
  It is.
• 12:27
  And so no offense.
• 12:29
  If you come sit with me, hi is good.
• 12:31
  Hi, how are you?
• 12:32
  Good, good.
• 12:33
  But I don't need to hear about your grandchildren, your dogs.
• 12:37
  I don't need to hear about, you know, the weather.
• 12:40
  I know what the weather is.
• 12:41
  I live here, too.
• 12:42
  So that's just what I'm saying.
• 12:43
  Oh.
• 12:44
  That's my pet peeve.
• 12:45
  Yeah.
• 12:46
  I know people now are thinking, he's so mean.
• 12:48
  I'm not.
• 12:49
  I just don't want to talk at Costco.
• 12:53
  And that's fair.
• 12:54
  Yeah, I think it is.
• 12:55
  Yeah.
• 12:55
  I know.
• 12:56
  Others will be right now.
• 12:57
  People right now will be so mad.
• 12:58
  They're going to send us emails, Cam.
• 13:00
  Do you know what else used to be a huge pet peeve?
• 13:03
  No.
• 13:03
  But I don't do it anymore.
• 13:04
  What's that?
• 13:04
  It's the gas line up.
• 13:06
  You know, that's like the nozzle.
• 13:07
  It's okay.
• 13:08
  It's long enough to like go around.
• 13:10
  But no, no, no.
• 13:13
  And then some people don't realize you have to have a Costco card.
• 13:16
  Yes.
• 13:16
  And so they're like turning or they're like pushing the buttons.
• 13:19
  And then the line up is back up.
• 13:20
  They're like calling the guy, the attendant door, excuse me, excuse me.
• 13:24
  And the guy's like, are you a member?
• 13:25
  No, I didn't know you had to be a member.
• 13:27
  Now you've held up for like four hours.
• 13:29
  Everybody in line.
• 13:31
  It's like people.
• 13:33
  But there's cheaper gas now in Spruce Grove, so I don't have to go to Costco anymore.
• 13:37
  I know Costco, you're not doing a very good job.Not anymore.
• 13:39
  No, you're not, no, you're not.
• 13:41
  So anyway, so yeah.
• 13:43
  So is there anything else about Costco?
• 13:45
  Because you were complaining about the parking lot the other day.
• 13:49
  Again, people in the parking lot.
• 13:51
  Like this is not this is not F1.
• 13:54
  This is not Indy, this is not demo car derby.
• 13:57
  Like the rules of the road apply in Costco parking lot.
• 14:04
  The other thing is, if you see there is a lineup of cars that are trying to park, you don't need to back in.
• 14:12
  Okay, don't back in.
• 14:13
  Listen, I agree.
• 14:15
  The stalls are large enough.
• 14:17
  I know.
• 14:17
  At Costco, there is no need to back in.
• 14:19
  No, there's no need to back in.
• 14:21
  A, number one, if you have a backup camera, use it.
• 14:25
  Number two, just look around, see, oh, there's 18 cars waiting.
• 14:30
  Maybe I'll just drive in instead of...
• 14:32
  And no offense again, no offense.
• 14:35
  I just can't deal with it.
• 14:37
  And yet we still keep going.
• 14:39
  I love Costco.
• 14:40
  I love Costco.
• 14:41
  I'll never stop going.
• 14:43
  I have to admit, there's times I've been to Costco twice in one day.
• 14:47
  But I've kind of avoided some of the...
• 14:49
  But you know what?
• 14:49
  It depends what you need, because the business Costco...
• 14:51
  I know, you go to the business Costco.
• 14:53
  I do, because it's great, because nobody's there.
• 14:55
  But you can't get a hot dog.
• 14:56
  No, you can't get a hot dog.
• 14:58
  Or a chicken.
• 14:58
  And all those fun things in the middle aisles, you can't get that either.
• 15:02
  And the other thing about the business Costco is, have you ever...
• 15:05
  They put all the meat, all the dairy, all the fruits and vegetables in one giant room. It is freezing! You have to spend too much time in that cooler.
• 15:13
  Well, it's about 4,000 below in there.
• 15:14
  I know.
• 15:15
  And you walk in there, and you're just like...
• 15:16
  By the time you're done, you come out, you got hypothermia, you're shaking, and it takes you an hour to warm up.
• 15:22
  I agree.
• 15:22
  But other than that, the business Costco...
• 15:24
  The business Costco is the bees knees.
• 15:25
  Because they sell cool things.
• 15:26
  They do.
• 15:26
  They do.
• 15:27
  Like if you need a full stove kitchen unit for your restaurant, they have it.
• 15:32
  If you need a mixer that can make 400 loaves of bread...
• 15:35
  2000 lbs of pickles, they have it.
• 15:37
  Yes.
• 15:37
  I saw the other day, I was at the business Costco.
• 15:40
  They had an oil drum full of olives.
• 15:43
  I know.
• 15:43
  And I thought, who would buy that?
• 15:46
  But I thought...
• 15:46
  Again, it's business.
• 15:47
  It's for restaurants.
• 15:48
  I know.
• 15:48
  Could you imagine?
• 15:49
  I'll take an oil drum of olives, please.
• 15:51
  Like that's incredible.
• 15:52
  It really is.
• 15:53
  Like where else?
• 15:54
  Nowhere else but Costco.
• 15:55
  I know.
• 15:56
  And now the business Costco is close to the Chick-fil-A.
• 15:59
  So if you go to the business, you don't get a hot dog.
• 16:02
  You go over to the Chick-fil-A.
• 16:03
  Yes.
• 16:04
  And you get a Chick-fil-A.
• 16:05
  We have no pet peeves about Chick-fil-A.
• 16:07
  No, I love Chick-fil-A.
• 16:08
  Yes.
• 16:09
  I'm so glad Chick-fil-A came to Edmonton.
• 16:11
  If you're listening to us and you don't have a Chick-fil-A in your hometown, I'm sorry.
• 16:15
  Because it's amazing.
• 16:17
  It really is.
• 16:18
  I love Chick-fil-A.
• 16:19
  We tried to get the Chick-fil-A owner to come on our podcast.
• 16:22
  Well, maybe, maybe, maybe they will still. They are just busy.
• 16:24
  No, they might still.
• 16:24
  They have to check with corporate because you can't just go on a podcast.
• 16:29
  You got to check with corporate.
• 16:30
  So, anyways, I don't know why.
• 16:34
  7,000 people listen to us.
• 16:36
  That's like 7,000 Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches right there.
• 16:41
  Or that's like 5 million chicken nuggets right there.
• 16:45
  That's amazing.
• 16:46
  I'd come on it like that.
• 16:48
  So, because they won't come on, go to Wing Snob instead.
• 16:51
  Go to Wing Snob.
• 16:52
  Mike Chadi.
• 16:53
  Wing Snob! They just opened their 10th store in Edmonton.
• 16:57
  Yes.
• 16:58
  And Mike Chadi told me they had 50 people lined up out the door the morning they opened.
• 17:02
  Seriously.
• 17:02
  Love their wings.
• 17:03
  For Wing Snob.
• 17:04
  No, it's amazing.
• 17:05
  It's on Gateway Boulevard.
• 17:06
  I only know this actually.
• 17:08
  I'm going to make a confession because on Sunday, Easter Sunday, I went to, we went to the new Krispy Kreme donuts.
• 17:17
  Just to get a Krispy Kreme.
• 17:18
  Because it's Easter Sunday.
• 17:20
  Normally, I would never go there because they're just way too sweet.
• 17:22
  They are very sweet.
• 17:23
  And Wing Snob's right next door.
• 17:24
  Now, okay, can I just talk for a second about the Krispy Kreme donuts?
• 17:28
  The lineup at the Krispy...
• 17:30
  Is this the Pet Peeve?
• 17:32
  Okay.
• 17:32
  People, when you get to the donut case, know what you want.
• 17:37
  I'm not even kidding.
• 17:39
  Like, is it that hard to choose between a chocolate dip and a sprinkles and a bunny donut?
• 17:45
  You're there to get a Krispy Kreme.
• 17:48
  And if you're standing in line, you should know what you're getting.
• 17:50
  The lady in head of me ordered like five dozen.
• 17:53
  And you'd think by dozen number two, you'd know exactly what you want.
• 17:58
  Nope, it just, she couldn't.
• 17:59
  And anyway, it took a long time to get my Krispy Kreme.
• 18:04
  Not like, you know who's got donuts down?
• 18:06
  Yeah, donuts down.
• 18:08
  No, you do.
• 18:09
  Donuts down.
• 18:10
  I like that.
• 18:10
  The Donut Mill in Red Deer.
• 18:12
  Yes.
• 18:13
  Yes.
• 18:14
  I was there a week ago.
• 18:15
  I tell ya, they could have a line up out the door and those people move you through it.
• 18:20
  And not only they sell more than just donuts, they sell like the sandwiches, they sell the soups, the chillies.
• 18:26
  Shout out to the Donut Mill.
• 18:27
  I love the Donut Mill.
• 18:29
  That's like the best donut.
• 18:31
  It's like so good.
• 18:33
  I ordered two and I hadn't even got out of the parking lot and I ate them both. They were like gone.
• 18:37
  And you know what?
• 18:38
  They always throw in when we're there, they always throw in like their version of Timbits for Hayden.
• 18:43
  It's great.
• 18:45
  What do they call those?
• 18:45
  Timbits?
• 18:46
  They don't call them Timbits.
• 18:47
  They call them whatever, little donut holes? but whatever they are, they're really good.
• 18:49
  Yeah, they're amazing.
• 18:50
  I know.
• 18:50
  No, I like that.
• 18:51
  That's a great.
• 18:52
  If you've never been to the donut mill in Red Deer, Alberta, it's on gasoline alley.
• 18:56
  You got to stop.
• 18:57
  It's amazing.
• 18:58
  Yeah, they didn't pay us to say this.
• 18:59
  No, they didn't.
• 19:00
  They don't even know.
• 19:01
  Hopefully, they listen.
• 19:02
  But anyway, probably Costco listens and we're going to get mail from Costco.
• 19:06
  I guarantee we're going to.
• 19:08
  But Mike Chadi, I'll text Mike Chadi and tell him we talked about him on this week's podcast.
• 19:13
  We told them don't go to Chick-fil-A.
• 19:14
  Go to Wing Snob.
• 19:15
  Go to Wing Snob.
• 19:15
  That's right.
• 19:18
  And Wing Snob is open on Sunday.
• 19:20
  Just want to say, just throwing that out there.
• 19:22
  And I respect that Chick-fil-A is not open on Sunday.
• 19:26
  I respect that.
• 19:27
  I respect it.
• 19:28
  But there have been Sundays I've been craving a Chick-fil-A.
• 19:31
  And you can't go.
• 19:32
  No.
• 19:33
  I even once, I drove there and I knew it.
• 19:36
  I knew they weren't.
• 19:37
  I don't know why I forgot.
• 19:38
  I went there.
• 19:39
  Did you go to the mall, though?
• 19:40
  Yes.
• 19:40
  See, that's why it's extra annoying.
• 19:41
  And I stood in front of it.
• 19:43
  The gates were there.
• 19:45
  And I was sad because I wanted a Chick-fil-A.
• 19:50
  I can't even go down the road of my Pet Peeves in the mall.
• 19:52
  Okay.
• 19:53
  No. That would take like..
• 19:53
  That's the mall.
• 19:54
  That's a whole other show.
• 19:56
  The mall.
• 19:57
  Can people?
• 19:57
  Not again.
• 20:00
  Can you not learn to walk?
• 20:03
  No.
• 20:03
  Can you not learn to walk?
• 20:05
  I have things to do, places to be.
• 20:08
  I know.
• 20:09
  And nothing drives me crazier than I'm walking behind the slow group that's like taking up the whole freaking aisle.
• 20:17
  It's like mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, cousin, uncle.
• 20:22
  Move over.
• 20:23
  Usually a stroller or two.
• 20:25
  And they're just like moving down.
• 20:27
  At the pace of a turtle.
• 20:28
  It's like, hello, I need, I have to get, please, to whatever store I have to get to.
• 20:36
  And you are, and it's, and you say, excuse me, excuse me, nicely, excuse me.
• 20:42
  You just like, excuse me.
• 20:43
  And they're like, they look at you like, ooh, like what are you doing?
• 20:47
  It's like, excuse me, can I just get by?
• 20:49
  I am not there for a leisurely stroll.
• 20:52
  Oh, the mall is the same as Costco.
• 20:54
  There should be this way and this way, but everybody, no, we got to go, they're just like, oh, and it's unbelievable.
• 21:00
  And it's just like some days, ah, I don't even know why I go to the mall.
• 21:05
  I avoid it on the weekend.
• 21:06
  Yeah, weekends aren't a good day to go to the mall.
• 21:08
  Okay, now I want to talk about this because I know, let's talk dogs.
• 21:15
  You have two.
• 21:16
  I do.
• 21:16
  They're giant.
• 21:17
  Well, one time I saw your dogs, I'm not kidding, man.
• 21:22
  I rang the doorbell and I was like, I thought I was going to die.
• 21:25
  No, I'm not even kidding.
• 21:26
  I was like, oh, my shattered nerves.
• 21:28
  You have dogs.
• 21:29
  I do.
• 21:29
  I don't have any dogs.
• 21:30
  I used to have dogs.
• 21:31
  I don't have any dogs.
• 21:32
  So yeah.
• 21:33
  So dogs.
• 21:34
  Oh, I have a huge pet peeve with dogs.
• 21:37
  And what is that?
• 21:38
  Cam, I consider myself a responsible dog owner.
• 21:41
  I would think you probably are.
• 21:42
  So you know what?
• 21:44
  Take care of my dogs.
• 21:45
  I walk my dogs.
• 21:46
  Here's my pet peeve.
• 21:47
  What's that?
• 21:47
  When I walk my dogs and my dog poops, I clean it up.
• 21:52
  Are we allowed to say?
• 21:53
  I'm saying it.
• 21:53
  Okay.
• 21:54
  Yeah.
• 21:54
  Because there is nothing worse than poop all over the place.
• 22:00
  In parks where kids are, on the sidewalk.
• 22:03
  Take a fricking bag, people.
• 22:05
  It's not hard.
• 22:06
  I agree.
• 22:06
  I'm telling you.
• 22:07
  Now, anybody who knows me knows that I usually wear white running shoes.
• 22:11
  That's hard to say.
• 22:12
  White running shoes.
• 22:13
  And if I'm walking, and I'm in the grass, and I step on some poop, it just destroys my white running shoes.
• 22:22
  Do you know what is the worst?
• 22:23
  Winter.
• 22:23
  Because people get lazy, and then the snow melts, and it's disgusting.
• 22:28
  It's disgusting.
• 22:29
  So, I thought it was a law.
• 22:31
  I don't know.
• 22:32
  It is a law. You are supposed to.
• 22:32
  That you have to pick up.
• 22:33
  Yes, it's a bylaw.
• 22:34
  You are.
• 22:35
  Now, we hire people to enforce a lot of things.
• 22:38
  Like speed on the highway.
• 22:40
  Let's not get into that.
• 22:41
  I don't want to go down that road.
• 22:43
  But maybe we can hire people to make sure people pick up their dog poop.
• 22:48
  And you know what?
• 22:49
  I get it.
• 22:50
  Sometimes your bag falls out or something happens.
• 22:53
  But I tell you, it's the same perpetrators over and over.
• 22:57
  I'm with you.
• 22:58
  And so, there should be people that walk around with cameras following people.
• 23:02
  I've called people out.
• 23:03
  Have you?
• 23:04
  Yes.
• 23:04
  Did they get mad at you?
• 23:06
  They tried to pretend like, oh, I was going to.
• 23:08
  I'm like, liar! Wrong.
• 23:11
  Here's a bag.
• 23:12
  Pick it up.
• 23:12
  I'm with you on that one.
• 23:14
  All right.
• 23:15
  Have your dog.
• 23:16
  Dogs are nice.
• 23:17
  Have your dog.
• 23:17
  That's good.
• 23:18
  But be responsible.
• 23:21
  I'm a little bit scared of some dogs.
• 23:23
  Your dogs, I have to be honest.
• 23:24
  When I saw them, I froze.
• 23:26
  I was like, oh, they're going to kill me.
• 23:27
  Once a golden retriever.
• 23:28
  How scary is he?
• 23:29
  Well, listen, it's a childhood trauma thing.
• 23:32
  I won't get into it today.
• 23:33
  That'll be a show we do on childhood trauma.
• 23:35
  I won't get into it.
• 23:36
  It was a dog incident.
• 23:37
  And anyway, it didn't go well.
• 23:39
  But however, so big dogs, well, even sometimes little dogs scare me.
• 23:43
  But nonetheless, I love dogs.
• 23:44
  I have I've had dogs.
• 23:46
  People just be responsible.
• 23:47
  Just be responsible.
• 23:49
  Be responsible for your pet.
• 23:50
  You can get poop bags at the dollar store.
• 23:52
  It doesn't even have to cost you a lot of money.
• 23:53
  There you go.
• 23:55
  There's no excuse.
• 23:56
  0.01 cent for a poop bag is like that's a bonus.
• 24:00
  So get the poop bag and then just don't throw it in somebody else's garbage.
• 24:05
  Hey, did you hear about this?
• 24:08
  Is it Edmonton?
• 24:08
  I don't know who's doing this, but there is some sort of campaign where you can like mark your garbage can that it's okay for people to throw their dog poop in your garbage can or not.
• 24:18
  Yeah, it's not okay for me.
• 24:20
  I because when I open the lid to put my garbage and you've thrown your poop bag in my garbage and it opened up, it stinks.
• 24:29
  I don't do that.
• 24:30
  Good for you because you know that it's just like people like, oh, man, I have to hose it out.
• 24:36
  It's inconsiderate.
• 24:38
  It's just like I don't like it.
• 24:40
  No, yeah.
• 24:41
  No, I agree.
• 24:41
  I mean, okay.
• 24:42
  So, all right.
• 24:43
  So people pick up your poop.
• 24:44
  Yes.
• 24:45
  And I don't know if we're allowed to say that, but we did.
• 24:47
  Well, we're saying we're saying.
• 24:50
  Okay, any other pet peeves?
• 24:52
  Oh, Cam, there's lots of pet peeves.
• 24:54
  So I talked about pets.
• 24:55
  What's another one of yours?
• 24:57
  Well, where do we start?
• 24:58
  I mean, okay, so here's the thing.
• 25:01
  When you when I go and order a burger, okay?
• 25:05
  Yeah, like say I go to McDonald's and I get a cheeseburger.
• 25:08
  Yeah, I was thinking about this yesterday because it really bugs me.
• 25:11
  If you see the ad on TV, you see it looks like it's a nice cheeseburger.
• 25:15
  Oh, the bun is nice. No. False advertising.
• 25:17
  The little drizzle of ketchup.
• 25:19
  You go and get it at the thing.
• 25:21
  It looks like somebody sat on my burger.
• 25:24
  It's like squished.
• 25:28
  I hate that.
• 25:29
  Can you not give me what you advertise?
• 25:33
  Another pet peeve.
• 25:34
  Can you not get my order right?
• 25:36
  Exactly.
• 25:37
  How hard is it?
• 25:38
  Exactly.
• 25:39
  Get my, when I say, every time, when I say, no onions, I like hot fries.
• 25:43
  Hot fries.
• 25:44
  I specifically say that every time.
• 25:46
  Don't give me saggy ones.
• 25:47
  that've been sitting there.
• 25:48
  And then go, Oh, we're sorry.
• 25:49
  They just came out of the fryer.
• 25:51
  No, they didn't.
• 25:51
  They came out of the fryer four days ago.
• 25:54
  Give me the hot fries.
• 25:55
  Or you're right, onions.
• 25:57
  I don't like onions on my burger.
• 25:58
  I can't eat raw onions.
• 26:00
  I just have an aversion to raw.
• 26:02
  I don't know what happens to me, but I can eat a cooked onion, which is very unique.
• 26:06
  I can eat cooked, but it's like apples.
• 26:08
  I can't eat a raw apple, but I can eat a cooked apple.
• 26:10
  Anyway, I agree with you.
• 26:12
  Just give me the right order.
• 26:14
  Every single time.
• 26:16
  How hard is that?
• 26:17
  How hard is it?
• 26:17
  You have a computer in front of you.
• 26:19
  Chick, chick, chick, chick.
• 26:20
  You tell us.
• 26:21
  You read back my order.
• 26:22
  That's right.
• 26:23
  And when you give me my cheeseburger, don't look like it was made yesterday and it was shoved under a tire and ran over six times.
• 26:31
  I want it to look like it does in the ad.
• 26:35
  Is that too much to ask?
• 26:36
  Apparently.
• 26:36
  Apparently it is.
• 26:37
  It's too much to ask.
• 26:38
  And I'm paying for that.
• 26:40
  You do the ad on TV.
• 26:41
  I'm sitting there drooling, I need a cheeseburger.
• 26:44
  And I think that looks so good.
• 26:45
  And then I go there and it's disgusting.
• 26:47
  Remember the other pet peeve?
• 26:48
  Remember the days when you could go to a McDonald's and it wouldn't cost you that much money?
• 26:53
  You're going to McDonald's and now it's 40 bucks later.
• 26:55
  Exactly.
• 26:56
  And that's just for you.
• 26:57
  And then you take your family, you gotta take out a loan.
• 26:59
  I'd like a mortgage for McDonald's please.
• 27:01
  No, you're absolutely right.
• 27:03
  I remember $3 you got a cheeseburger, fries and a Coke.
• 27:07
  I get things have gone up, but it's too much.
• 27:09
  No, it's ridiculous.
• 27:10
  Nothings cheap anymore.
• 27:11
  No, the cow's still the same, the baker's still the same, the wheat still grows the same.
• 27:17
  Why?
• 27:18
  Why?
• 27:18
  Why is this going up?
• 27:19
  I don't, anyway, I don't understand.
• 27:21
  I don't either.
• 27:22
  No, used to be, you could get deals.
• 27:24
  There's no such thing as a deal.
• 27:25
  There's no deals anymore.
• 27:25
  Don't even tell me you're giving me a deal.
• 27:27
  No.
• 27:27
  You go to a restaurant and they say, today's special is, on special, it costs more than everything else on the menu.
• 27:33
  It's supposed to cost less.
• 27:34
  You're right.
• 27:35
  I don't understand.
• 27:37
  I know.
• 27:38
  I know.
• 27:39
  But what can you do?
• 27:40
  I mean, seriously, what can we do?
• 27:42
  I mean, you can't complain.
• 27:44
  If you say to the manager at McDonald's, this cheeseburger looks like you sat on it, he'll give you like 10 reasons.
• 27:49
  Wow, it's just the way it comes, or it's just the way.
• 27:52
  No, just make it.
• 27:54
  How is that hard?
• 27:56
  Apparently, it's difficult.
• 27:57
  I guess it is.
• 27:58
  And the same with the mall.
• 27:59
  If you ask people to move over, they get offended.
• 28:03
  It's like at Costco if you say, could you just move your cart?
• 28:07
  You'd think you'd ask them to give a kidney.
• 28:09
  I mean, they go crazy.
• 28:11
  You get the stink eye.
• 28:12
  I was just there for a second.
• 28:14
  It's like, I don't have a second.
• 28:15
  I have to move forward.
• 28:17
  It's true.
• 28:18
  Anyway.
• 28:19
  It's true.
• 28:19
  Well, that's about 30 minutes right there.
• 28:23
  And we didn't even cover the field.
• 28:25
  I've got so many more pet peeves.
• 28:27
  Anyways, so thanks for listening today...

  Okay, don't...
• 28:37
  Okay.
• 28:38
  I apologize that I talked about the people who sit with me at the Costco table.
• 28:43
  I just feel like I've offended somebody already.
• 28:46
  And they're gonna be like, I remember that guy.
• 28:48
  I was sitting there and he didn't listen to a word I said.
• 28:50
  He was the guy with the white runners.
• 28:52
  Exactly.
• 28:52
  He was the guy with the white runners.
• 28:55
  And he didn't listen to a word I said.
• 28:57
  And I said, no offense.
• 28:59
  Sometimes I just got a lot on my mind.
• 29:00
  But anyways, it's just like...
• 29:02
  I'm sorry.
• 29:03
  He'll be back at Costco tomorrow.
• 29:05
  That's right.
• 29:07
  I'll be there at 3 if you'd like to come and join me.
• 29:12
  I won't tell you which Costco.
• 29:13
  You can try them all if you want.
• 29:16
  Anyways, yeah, so thanks for listening.
• 29:20
  We didn't have a guest today.

  One year.
• 31:06
  I can't believe it.
• 31:07
  End of June.
• 31:08
  It's unbelievable really.
• 31:09
  It really is.
• 31:10
  Cause I know you thought it would last like about two weeks.
• 31:12
  And so did you.
• 31:13
  We thought our families would listen and that's it.
• 31:16
  And then they get bored and stop listening.
• 31:18
  And truth is they have gotten bored.
• 31:20
  But everybody else listens to it.
• 31:22
  No, that's not true.
• 31:23
  Your mom is a faithful listener.
