- 0:03Speaker 1: It's time for Donkey of the day. Donkeys of the day.
- 0:06Speaker 2: As I'm a Democrat, so being donky of the day
- 0:09Speaker 2: is a little bit of a mixed so.
- 0:11Speaker 3: Like a donkey donk the other day the club bitches.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Now I've been called a lot of my twenty three years.
- 0:20Speaker 4: That donkey of the day is a new white.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Donkey of the Day for Thursday, July twenty seventh goes
- 0:27Speaker 3: to Dick's Fish and Chips. Dick's Fish and Chips is
- 0:30Speaker 3: a popular fish and chip shop in Canada and they
- 0:33Speaker 3: have been declared a nuisance by city council because of
- 0:36Speaker 3: a disturbing odor that comes from the exhaust system. People
- 0:39Speaker 3: who live nearby have been complaining. They said they smell
- 0:44Speaker 3: the smell of deep deep fried fish can be putrid
- 0:47Speaker 3: at times. Okay, I don't know who these heathens are
- 0:49Speaker 3: that don't love the smell of deep fried fish. Maybe
- 0:51Speaker 3: it's the low country in me, but it's nothing like
- 0:54Speaker 3: the sound of deep fried whiting frying, and the smell
- 0:58Speaker 3: don't bother me at all. In fact, it makes my
- 1:00Speaker 3: mouth water right now just thinking about it.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Okay. As a person who had to.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Take Staton every day for high cholesterol, trust me when
- 1:06Speaker 3: I tell you that I look forward to the smell
- 1:08Speaker 3: of fried fish because when the doctor put me on
- 1:11Speaker 3: Statton earlier this year and told me I had to
- 1:12Speaker 3: cut out fried foods, which I don't do anyway, Okay,
- 1:16Speaker 3: except for once a year when I'm home, all right,
- 1:19Speaker 3: And when I'm home at a certain time in South Carolina,
- 1:21Speaker 3: usually around the holidays and maybe even the summer sometimes,
- 1:24Speaker 3: and my aunt a father in law is frying fish
- 1:26Speaker 3: and shrimp.
- 1:29Speaker 1: High cholesterol.
- 1:29Speaker 3: I get it, But boy, that fried fish and fried
- 1:31Speaker 3: shrimp is worth the risk at least once a year,
- 1:34Speaker 3: all right.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I just told you my mouth was water and thinking
- 1:37Speaker 1: about it.
- 1:37Speaker 3: So I don't know why the smell of deep fried
- 1:39Speaker 3: fish is bothering these neighbors so much.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:42Speaker 3: The neighbor, his name is Mike Seal, says the odor
- 1:45Speaker 3: is so foul at times that and I quote, he
- 1:49Speaker 3: has to abandon ship, leave the area, do not go home.
- 1:53Speaker 1: See what happens.
- 1:54Speaker 3: The restaurant's exhaust system vincent to an area about twenty
- 1:57Speaker 3: feet below his bedroom, and the scrimp the smell depends
- 2:00Speaker 3: on how busy the restaurant is and how the wind blows.
- 2:03Speaker 3: It makes sense okay, more people in the restaurant, more
- 2:06Speaker 3: fish being fried. The neighbors said he can't even go
- 2:08Speaker 3: on his deck on a Saturday at times because of
- 2:11Speaker 3: how bad the smell is, and he no longer invites
- 2:13Speaker 3: guests to socialize on his deck are at his house
- 2:16Speaker 3: because of the smell. He said he even bought an
- 2:18Speaker 3: AC unit so he can keep his windows closed during
- 2:21Speaker 3: the summer.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Don't blame that on Dick's fish and chips.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Okay, you bought an AC unit because climate change and
- 2:27Speaker 3: global warming is real and this is one of the.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Hottest summers ever everywhere. Okay.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Mike has been raising the hell about the smell for years,
- 2:34Speaker 3: and he was happy to see the city council bringing
- 2:37Speaker 3: requirements for the restaurant to mitigate the smell. Now, let
- 2:41Speaker 3: me tell you some of the maintenance requirements the restaurant
- 2:43Speaker 3: must do.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:44Speaker 3: It must replace charcoal filters at least once a week,
- 2:47Speaker 3: replace fire cooking oil at least every three days, are
- 2:51Speaker 3: sooner if it begins to smoke. And it must fully
- 2:53Speaker 3: clean the fire exhaust system at least once a month.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:57Speaker 3: A written record must be kept up the cleaning and
- 3:00Speaker 3: replacements and can be requested.
- 3:02Speaker 1: By a bylaw officer.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Dick's Fish and Chips has been fine because of the
- 3:05Speaker 3: smell quite a few times following your numerous complaints, and
- 3:09Speaker 3: the owner, whose name is Dick Tansley, said the situation
- 3:12Speaker 3: is frustrating. He said it's costing him a lot of
- 3:15Speaker 3: money to frequently clean the exhaust system, but he's going
- 3:18Speaker 3: to do it. Look, I get it, Okay, you a
- 3:21Speaker 3: neighbor living next to the place. It's probably hard. You know,
- 3:24Speaker 3: for Mike the Nabel who was complaining to have a
- 3:26Speaker 3: girl or guy? Are they over? Okay, because the last
- 3:30Speaker 3: thing you want to smell in the bedroom is the
- 3:32Speaker 3: odor of fish.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:33Speaker 3: That can be an awkward thing because in your mind,
- 3:36Speaker 3: you're wondering.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Is it my date? Are Dicks fish and Chips? That is?
- 3:40Speaker 3: And that's why Dick's Fish and Chips is getting donky
- 3:43Speaker 3: other day. I know it's named after the owner, but
- 3:47Speaker 3: you have to change the name. You just can't have
- 3:50Speaker 3: people run around calling your establishment stank, Dix fish and Chips,
- 3:56Speaker 3: smelly Dicks fish and chips.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Okay, Dick fish.
- 4:00Speaker 3: And chips sounds like three different things some people love
- 4:04Speaker 3: to have in their mouth, okay, and I know that
- 4:06Speaker 3: there's people out there who love Dix Fish and Chips,
- 4:10Speaker 3: and if they changed their name, folks might say, hey,
- 4:13Speaker 3: Dix is getting soft, Dick's Fish and Chips is getting soft.
- 4:17Speaker 3: They bending to the city. But no, I think it's
- 4:20Speaker 3: smart marketing and branding. To simply change the name. You
- 4:23Speaker 3: would attract more customers too, especially out of towners. Do
- 4:27Speaker 3: you think any Do you think Cameron would ever eat
- 4:30Speaker 3: at Dix Fish and Chips. Huh No, He's not gonna
