Sometimes when the moment is right and
0:02
the sparks fly, dating
0:04
can be magic. But
0:06
even the most romantic connection can get
0:09
a little awkward. And the dog's
0:11
kind of watching us at this point and so
0:13
it's starting to lick my ear. True
0:15
Dating Stories is the new CBC podcast
0:17
that explores the messy corners of romance.
0:20
Real life tales told by the people who live them.
0:23
I'm tied up on this dude's bed and
0:25
there's nobody around to help. True
0:27
Dating Stories is available from CBC Listen or
0:29
wherever you get your podcasts. This
0:34
is a CBC Podcast. Spike
0:38
the hike, axe the tax. You've
0:41
got the moon moving directly in front of the
0:43
sun. The Niagara region is in the path
0:45
of totality. Because
0:47
News. Gavin Crawford. Hey
0:52
there and
0:54
welcome to Because News. I'm Gavin Crawford
0:56
and as you can hear, I've given
0:58
our audience a break for Easter so
1:01
they can get a jump on dying
1:03
their eggs. Or if you're
1:05
not Easter peeps, just cook some
1:07
eggs. Or maybe freeze your eggs. Whatever
1:09
you want to do. Point is, spring
1:12
has sprung and it's a nice
1:14
time of year to get outside and be
1:16
sporty. That's why with
1:18
baseball season kicking off and the
1:20
NHL, PWHL and NBA playoffs just
1:23
around the corner, we
1:25
felt the need to contribute something
1:27
to the national sports conversation. Which
1:29
if you listen to this show a lot, you
1:32
know, isn't always easy for us. So
1:34
in desperation, we dug through the archives
1:36
and over the next half hour, you'll
1:38
hear four shining examples of sports stories
1:40
because news actually covered pretty
1:43
well. You'll
1:46
hear some stories about wrestling,
1:48
tobogganing, powerlifting and one particularly
1:51
intriguing sport known as Fingal's
1:53
Fingers. But up
1:55
first, a news story from last April about a
1:57
man from Barrie, Ontario who made headlines for
2:00
a pretty big flex. Spotting
2:02
me on this one, our comedians, Fiona
2:04
O'Brien, Chris Siddiqui, and Adjournis Charlie.
2:08
Final this week at 27-year-old man
2:10
from Barrie, Ontario did something no
2:12
other Canadian has ever done before.
2:15
Have a listen. I knew that I had to
2:18
load five Atlas stones to be able to win. When
2:20
that last stone hit the platform is when I
2:22
knew that the title was mine. Atlas
2:25
stones are massively heavy
2:28
round boulders. Knowing
2:30
that, any idea what title he won? Yeah,
2:33
the big guys always have to pick those up and put
2:35
them in a basket. Big man,
2:37
he got a big man. He got
2:39
a big man award. Yeah, big man
2:41
award. Big man of beer. He's a
2:44
strong man. Biggest man of all time.
2:46
Biggest man. Biggest hernia of all time.
2:48
Yeah. He passed
2:50
that many stones. He's a
2:52
big man. He's the most torn ACL of
2:55
all time. Big
2:57
man award is not correct. The
3:00
global news headline reads, Canadian clinches
3:02
the title of world's strongest man.
3:05
For the first time ever. From
3:07
Barrie? Yeah. He's
3:10
strong to come from Barrie. He's understandable. He's
3:13
27 and he's from Barrie and he's the
3:15
world's strongest man. And
3:17
I'm the world's weakest. Atlas
3:21
stones is just one of the many events in
3:24
the strongest man competition. Other events include
3:26
the log ladder, shield carry and Conan's
3:28
wheel. Whoa, cool. Mitchell,
3:31
the moose, Hooper did especially well
3:33
in Atlas stones. What
3:35
other two feats of strengths did he
3:37
completely own? He
3:39
rearranged Stonehenge and
3:43
he brought all of the groceries
3:45
in from the car in one
3:47
go. Yeah. That's
3:50
a man. That's impressive. Very
3:53
impressive. Grocery run is not correct.
3:56
Jonas, what two feats? Hit the strengths
3:58
to deadlifts strength to
4:00
not spoil succession for anyone. That's
4:03
personal stuff. You
4:05
get a half point for that. Deadlift Machine was one of
4:07
them. Chris, what was
4:09
the other? The other? I had holding in
4:12
a fart on a crowded bus. That's
4:15
right. The feet of strength. Yeah, that's hard. Or
4:17
trying not to cry at all those
4:20
videos of people who are getting hearing
4:22
aids and hearing for the first time.
4:24
That's a toughie. Very
4:27
good guesses. Neither correct. He
4:30
excelled at Deadlift Machine and
4:32
also Bus Hall. Bus Hall.
4:36
He pulled a bus 100 feet by hand in 30 seconds.
4:40
He should work for the TTC. Yeah, he's
4:42
wearing a car. They need him. Yeah, he'd
4:44
get him moving faster. Mitchell
4:47
Hooper did have trouble with one event, however.
4:49
Have a listen to his evaluation of
4:51
his performance. The third
4:53
event, I finished mid-pack, but with historically a
4:55
very good result. So getting all those five
4:58
fingers was not an easy feat. Getting
5:00
all those five fingers was not an easy feat.
5:04
It's not me who's making the sexual right.
5:07
It was them. Yeah, that time. He's talking
5:10
about an event that is called Fingal Fingers.
5:13
What is Fingal Fingers? It's
5:15
the most prostate exams given in
5:18
under 10 minutes. Chris?
5:22
Fingal Fingers are what you get after
5:24
you carry all the grocery bags. And
5:28
then you look and you're
5:30
like, yeah! Fingal Fingers! It's
5:34
not horribly deformed hand from carrying the groceries, so
5:36
that's a very good guess. It
5:38
is when contestants have to flip a
5:41
series of giant hinged poles over.
5:43
There's five poles. They make up the fingers and have
5:45
to flip them upright and then over. And each pole
5:48
weighs from 300 to 400 pounds. Wow.
5:51
Oh my god. Why? That's a good
5:53
question. Can they put their
5:56
strengths to more effective use? Well, maybe I'll
5:58
ask you. this
6:00
question then, if you could tailor the
6:02
competition to your own specific skills, what
6:04
speed of strength do you think you
6:06
would excel at? Can Prisca Deke play
6:08
visual games without eating while going to
6:11
the washer for 24 hours straight?
6:14
Yes! Yay! Extremely
6:16
successful! Mitchell
6:22
the moose hooper also owns a kinesiology clinic
6:24
in Barrie. If you go to his website
6:26
you will see that it features a mantra.
6:30
What is the strongman's mantra?
6:33
Reproduce with the moose? Okay.
6:36
Chris. I'm
6:40
the reason why Barrie is so dangerous. Yes,
6:45
I thought it might be like lift, laugh, love, but
6:48
no. It
6:51
is. His mantra is lift heavy, be
6:53
kind. Oh. Everybody
6:56
loves a moose now. Yeah. Yeah.
7:00
The world's strongest man competition features different
7:02
unusual events from year to year. For
7:04
example, there's something called Titan's turntable. What
7:07
is required of the athletes in Titan's
7:09
turntable? Oh, cool. This is some sweet
7:12
tunes in the dance floor, man. Giant
7:15
records. Maybe
7:17
they're moving like equipment for clubs
7:19
from club to club, those giant
7:21
speaker systems. It
7:24
is when athletes spin an antique locomotive
7:26
seated upon a massive train turntable
7:28
180 degrees.
7:30
Wow. So it's like a
7:33
man and he's carrying a train. They're not
7:35
carrying. The train is on a big roundabout
7:38
and he has to push the turntable around.
7:40
You know when Thomas the tank engine would
7:42
be like, gotcha going? Oh, thanks for speaking
7:44
on my reference level. It's no longer fat
7:47
controller, it's tough controller. Thomas
7:51
was spun around by tough controller.
7:56
Mitchell the moose. Gordon
7:58
Wasn't happy. Make
8:01
me that has a tendency
8:04
to be termed. Ranges
8:07
said Married. Panel
8:11
You haven't lived until you've seen the strongest man
8:14
in the world do something known as the car
8:16
walk. Can you describe what
8:18
you think the car walk event looks
8:20
like? He's. Carrying.
8:22
Cars and the roads. Close.
8:25
A village. It just looks like this.
8:30
Is. A giddy about the
8:32
Point is when athletes climb inside a hollowed
8:34
out car, stick their head of through the
8:37
sunroof and run it down a twenty five
8:39
meter course. But
8:45
high carbon footprint must this is so
8:47
small. As the most advice the most
8:49
environmental Next to the bus hall. The
8:52
car walk isn't the tories li difficult. How
8:55
did twenty teams winner the
8:57
Icelandic Strongman fast or Bjorn
8:59
Son describe his feelings after
9:01
winning the car Was actually
9:03
have seen this interview and
9:06
this is exactly what he
9:08
said in his voice: m.
9:11
T Girlies. Oh
9:13
my gosh that was hard best the that
9:15
was the heaviest thing I've had some lives
9:17
since I'm six boyfriend I might need an
9:19
app or us Brits after this one. Let's
9:24
see if you're correct. Here is
9:26
what beards and said. Thirty
9:30
yards, A man who
9:32
saw what? Was
9:35
it. Or so
9:37
does bring. Us.
9:41
Attorney. The
9:49
answer is I feel fresh so I'm giving a
9:52
Jonathan has. Flexing
9:58
their comedic muscles. That was. to
10:00
Johnna's Charlie, Fiona O'Brien, and Chris
10:02
Adiki. Because
10:07
news. Coming
10:09
up next, a news story we went to
10:11
the mat for. Professional Wrestling
10:13
made headlines last year with a
10:16
potential huge transformation that had Andrew
10:18
Fung starve run the burbs, pounding
10:20
the ropes with excitement. Here
10:22
he is with fellow comedian, Jankar Wanna,
10:24
and author, Monica Heise. Panel,
10:28
it's time for wrestling news.
10:31
No. Yes. I've
10:34
waited for six years on this show
10:37
to do a round on wrestling. Finally,
10:39
we're here. A major rumor is
10:41
circulating in the media about world
10:44
wrestling entertainment, better known as WWE.
10:47
It seems as though wrestling is about
10:49
to add something new. What
10:52
is being introduced to the wrestling world, possibly?
10:54
Do you want the joke answer? Do you
10:56
want the real answer? Why not both? Are
10:59
the guys gonna start making sounds
11:01
like in women's tennis? More
11:06
grunting? Yeah. Effortful
11:08
sounds. I'd watch wrestling. Andrew,
11:11
what is coming to wrestling? It's watch
11:13
betting. The headline from
11:16
the Toronto Star is WWE Intox to
11:18
introduce betting on scripted
11:20
wrestling matches. Sure.
11:22
I mean, do you think most people
11:24
know that the WWE is fake?
11:28
Yeah. Like they've come out and said it.
11:30
Like we've seen movies like The Wrestler and
11:32
they just said- Do
11:34
you name another wrestling mate? And
11:36
he's like, he's put it off there. The Wrestler
11:38
2? But
11:41
like they've come out and said it, right? Yes,
11:43
it's public. The storylines are dreamed up by writers
11:45
and the winners are pre-planned. One
11:47
site called wrestling a soap opera for
11:49
men. Yeah,
11:52
it is. Betting on events where the outcome
11:54
is already known is illegal. So
11:58
the WWE will have to prove. to the
12:00
US state regulators that the secrets
12:02
will not get out. What
12:04
is the WWE going to do to make
12:06
sure no one finds out the winner in
12:09
advance? Is it two
12:11
accountants from Pricewaterhouse and
12:13
each wrestler an envelope just like at the
12:15
Oscars before they come out? You
12:18
are correct for the point. What? What?
12:21
Andrew Fung? What? They
12:23
have reportedly hired Ernst & Young.
12:27
The firm of Ernst & Young. They
12:30
are the accounting firm that keeps the Oscar winners
12:32
secret in advance. Well, that makes sense because people
12:35
do bet on the Oscars, right? But I mean,
12:37
do two nerds with a briefcase really stand
12:40
a chance against WWE
12:42
fans? I
12:44
want to see the accountants from Ernst & Young
12:46
come out with a briefcase bet they're jacked
12:49
and their suits have no arms.
12:53
Maybe that's the twist. They are part
12:55
of it? They're also wrestlers and it's like,
12:57
but it goes a team, Ernst
13:00
& Young. That was
13:02
already a thing, Gavin. Call
13:04
Money Inc. with the million dollar man Ted
13:06
DiBiase and Erwin R. Shicer, IRS. That
13:09
was already a thing. Stop trying to be fun.
13:11
It's real, Gavin. Sorry. I
13:13
didn't realize pretend accountants was a
13:15
part of wrestling. According
13:20
to CNBC, which broke the story, the
13:22
WWE will also have to make sure
13:24
that the wrestlers themselves will not spill
13:26
the beans. How will they make
13:28
sure that the wrestlers keep their
13:30
mouths shut? Before they
13:32
hire you, you have to submit
13:34
a bunch of photos of you
13:36
in a cancelable situation and
13:39
they put it in the vault. So if you reveal the results,
13:41
they're like, uh oh, we got
13:43
to share this photo and then you
13:45
get canceled. Monica? I
13:48
was thinking you could hide the
13:50
information on like a late page in
13:52
a very big, thick book. I
13:55
don't think that the wrestlers are probably big
13:57
readers. I mean, I guess. I
14:00
was getting this match. That's a terrible stereotype, but there's
14:02
some really good... Uh, there was a restaurant in the
14:04
90s called The Genius, who was a university professor. So
14:07
Monica, we get it, okay? It's not
14:09
gonna be funny. The genius? His name
14:11
was The Genius. Lanny Pofo, it was
14:13
Macho Man Randy Savage's brother. Oh
14:16
yeah. What did
14:18
he dress like? He had, he had like
14:20
a university gown, and like a hat, and
14:22
he came out, and he was... See, such
14:24
a genius, he just graduated. No,
14:28
it was such a genius who perpetually graduated. Like
14:30
every day he had a new degree. Okay. Introducing
14:33
The Genius wrestler, it's The Reader.
14:37
His batch phrases. We're
14:43
really fixing wrestling. What
14:47
they are going to do is apparently they are
14:49
just not gonna tell the wrestlers who wins until
14:51
right before the match. That sometimes
14:54
happens now though. So like, when
14:56
Undertaker had the streak at WrestleMania, they didn't tell
14:58
Brock Lesnar that he was gonna pin The Undertaker
15:01
until like right before he came out, and that
15:03
was a big surprise. Oh my God, Brock would
15:05
hate that. They
15:08
could also just put a thing in their ear, and then
15:11
like while they're wrestling, they can go, okay, now you win. I
15:16
hate to be that person. The referee does have
15:18
one of those pieces right now, and he or she does call it in
15:20
the ring sometimes when
15:22
there's like a swerve. Well, I don't see what the problem is here.
15:25
Sounds like wrestling hasn't changed in any way. Alright,
15:28
now it looks like it's time to start betting. The
15:31
Toronto Star ran an article that said, if
15:33
betting on wrestling is allowed, betting on this
15:35
might be next. What's coming after
15:38
betting on wrestling? Well, if wrestling is
15:40
a male soap opera, then just
15:42
soap operas. You'll
15:44
just be like, is she getting out of the coma?
15:46
I've got a tenor on it. The
15:51
correct answer is they think it's going
15:53
to be TV shows. You'll be able
15:55
to bet on TV shows. Oh yeah,
15:57
get some bets on Vanderpump Rules, right?
16:01
Someone made a lot of money last week. Yeah,
16:03
what would be your TV bet?
16:06
I would want a bet to see if
16:09
Greg and the husband guy
16:11
on Succession smooch. I'm
16:13
waiting for it. I feel like that's a solid
16:15
bet. Is that a bet or a wish? Can't
16:19
it be Bo? That
16:21
was Jan Karwana, Andrew Fung and Monica
16:24
Heise. We
16:28
recorded that in March of 2023. Talk
16:51
to us. Say
16:53
the name of the other podcast. There's
16:55
a bonus podcast that comes up with
16:57
a podcast called Help Tony Ho. Tony
17:00
Ho Season 3, available now on CBC Listen and
17:02
everywhere you get your podcasts. As
17:05
I mentioned, baseball season is upon us and that
17:07
means we just passed the first anniversary of some
17:09
huge changes that were made to the game. This
17:12
time last year, baseball purists were
17:14
up in arms about rule changes
17:17
introduced to speed up the notoriously
17:19
lengthy ball games. To explore
17:21
that story, we assembled one of our
17:23
sportiest panels ever. Noted baseball
17:26
fan, Alice Moran, person who once
17:28
watched part of a baseball game,
17:30
Chris Sandiford, and the guy
17:32
who helped write the dictionary, Tom
17:34
Howell. Panel,
17:37
it's time for a sports
17:39
round. That's great. And
17:43
on this show, that can only mean
17:45
one thing, musical theatre, if
17:47
you will. Have a listen
17:49
to this revamped Gilbert and Sullivan
17:51
Patter song and be ready to
17:53
get your sports on. major
18:00
league. I'm constantly evolving so the fans will never feel
18:02
fatigued. In short, he is no great boss freak. There
18:04
is no reason to critique. I am the very model
18:06
of the very modern major league. He is the very
18:08
model of... No. I know
18:11
the record breakers and the games that
18:13
were historical. World Series 2016 was the
18:15
bestest categorical. I've introduced a timer so
18:17
the game is less monotonous. And
18:21
altered all the bases so they now are much more
18:23
cautious. And altered all the bases so they now are
18:25
much more cautious. And altered all the bases so they
18:28
now are much more cautious. And altered all the bases
18:30
so they now are much
18:36
more cautious.
18:39
Very well.
18:41
And that's opening at the Winter
18:44
Garden. There is your musical theater.
18:46
What headline was I singing about?
18:48
Cotton. The cotton game that
18:50
baseball is going to be replaced with a cotton
18:52
ball so that it's quieter.
18:56
That is a good guess. I happen to know that
18:58
they're adding... You know how they have the seventh inning
19:00
stretch? Well they're adding things to all the innings.
19:02
You know, the first inning flirt, the second inning slap,
19:04
the third inning therapy. I can do
19:06
them all. The fourth inning face feel.
19:09
The fifth inning feel criticism is my
19:11
favorite. The sixth inning
19:13
sleighbell. Seventh inning stretch of course. And the
19:15
eighth inning... Well that's free period. And
19:18
then ninth inning we just do... Childspose. Childspose,
19:20
there we go. Alice
19:22
Moran. They are changing up some
19:25
of the rules of baseball. You're
19:27
correct. The headline from the
19:29
Los Angeles Times is how four rule
19:32
changes will impact Major League
19:34
Baseball in 2023. Major
19:36
League Baseball has made a number of changes
19:38
this season so the sport can be more
19:40
appealing to younger fans. The
19:42
most notable change is that they are making
19:45
something bigger. What has recently
19:47
swollen in baseball? Gosh.
19:50
Obviously it's the ball because that's the part that
19:52
you can't see in the nosebleeds. You know, they
19:54
made it so much bigger. It's like a beach
19:56
ball now. Beach ball? Exciting?
19:58
No, Alice? have made the
20:01
bases larger because the MLB thinks
20:03
we're all size queens. The
20:07
Associated Press headline reads Major League
20:09
Baseball's bigger bases could lead to
20:11
more steals, fewer injuries.
20:14
Oh, fewer injuries? Baseball
20:17
bases are now three inches bigger
20:19
on each side. Well, they're
20:21
older. Although
20:24
base size has remained consistent since the turn
20:26
of the century up until now, these
20:29
injuries were going up. Baseball
20:32
players' feet have been
20:34
growing over time, and
20:37
their big feet can't stay
20:39
on the tiny bases. That's very
20:41
cute. Well, you can think
20:43
about the turn of the century baseball, and it's a
20:46
lot of little guys out there. I
20:48
mean, people are going to... Have you seen baseball players
20:50
recently? They are... They're giant. Thank
20:52
you, Monsanto. Another
20:57
rule change has to do with making the
20:59
game shorter. What did Major League Baseball introduce
21:01
to speed up this notoriously long game? Lions.
21:05
I don't know if
21:08
you'd be able to say it the same way, and
21:10
I know this is not politically correct to say anymore,
21:12
but I find that when I'm in a large... Like,
21:14
I just think it's unnatural to have that many humans
21:16
all gathered in one place, and we see no one
21:18
get eaten. Good
21:22
guess, no. Two things. They've gotten rid
21:24
of the anthems, especially when they play in Canada. They've
21:26
got to sing two anthems. That's already eight hours
21:29
they're gone, and then they also added
21:31
a starter's pistol. They're pointing at the
21:33
players, baby. It is
21:35
not guns. Okay. It
21:38
is a pitch clock, and it tells the
21:40
pitcher that he has to pitch within a
21:42
certain time frame. It tells the pitcher that he
21:44
has to pitch within a certain time frame. I believe it's 20 seconds
21:47
when there's somebody on base, and 15 when
21:49
there's no one on base. You are correct for
21:51
the point. It is a pitch clock. It
21:54
would be good if they also had a pitch pipe. And
22:00
take me up to the ball game. Yes,
22:07
that is exactly correct. The pitchers have 15 seconds
22:09
to throw a pitch while the bases are empty
22:11
and 20 seconds, if there is anyone on base.
22:15
Hitters have 8 seconds to get
22:17
into position. What
22:19
happens if they don't make it
22:21
in time? Raaaaaaarrr. Thank
22:25
you, Tom. No jokes
22:27
today, only facts. It's a strike. You are
22:29
correct. It is a strike. If they don't
22:31
make it in time, it has already happened.
22:33
Have a listen to this call. They
22:36
have called strike three!
22:39
Wow! This is mayhem! Oh!
22:42
Automatic strike three called when the
22:44
bases loaded in a tight game
22:47
in the bottom of the ninth.
22:50
This is baseball in
22:52
2023. That's
22:54
the worst way to lose. I'd be so
22:56
mad! Alice says the country's
22:58
last remaining baseball fan. How does this make
23:00
you feel? That
23:06
was Chris Sandiford, Alice Moran and Tom
23:08
Howell in a round recorded almost exactly
23:10
one year ago. And if
23:12
you think those baseball changes were exciting, wait
23:14
until you see the new uniforms. Sad
23:21
as I am to do it, let's wrap
23:23
up this tribute to sports with an entirely
23:26
different kind of athletic endeavor. Some
23:28
might not consider this activity a sport at
23:30
all, but I've done it many times and
23:32
it does leave you out of breath and
23:34
takes an iron stomach to accomplish. What
23:37
is this mystery sport? I put
23:39
that question to Jan Karwan and Chris Adeke
23:41
along with Chargel Rasool. It
23:45
is time for Tape of the Week. Have
23:47
a listen to this Albertan who spoke to
23:49
CTV Edmonton about coming to grips with a
23:52
grim new reality. Today my
23:54
head is spinning. I am shocked. I
23:56
was aghast when I heard the news.
24:00
reason for them to remove it. Panel,
24:02
for a point, what is being removed from
24:04
Alberta that has this man a guest? The
24:07
giant dinosaur and drumheller. Ooh,
24:09
that's a good guess. No, something in the West
24:11
Edmonton Mall. You're right about that.
24:13
The body shop. The roller coaster. You
24:16
are correct for the point, Sharjal.
24:19
The headline from Global News reads,
24:21
West Edmonton Mall closes mind vendor
24:23
indoor roller coaster. Oh,
24:26
wow. West Edmonton Mall houses the world's
24:28
largest indoor theme park, home to the
24:30
now defunct mind vendor. Oh. It
24:33
was, in fact, the world's largest triple loop
24:35
indoor roller coaster. Oh. Wow.
24:38
Yeah. You heard the heartbroken man in
24:41
the CTV News story say there must be a brilliant
24:43
reason to remove it. What is that brilliant reason?
24:46
Condos. Condos in the
24:48
West Edmonton Mall. It
24:51
is not condos, Jan. Is it
24:53
anything like the Canadian entertainment industry
24:55
and it just realizes when you're
24:58
36, no one wants to ride you, so we got to get rid of you?
25:03
You're correct. It's too
25:05
old. They say
25:07
they are going to make way for newer and
25:09
more exciting attractions. Yeah,
25:16
that sounds about right. It
25:19
opened in 1985. In 1986, shortly
25:21
after it opened, there was a tragic accident
25:23
despite the fact that three people died on
25:25
the mind bender. The ride continued to operate
25:27
for 36 years. Oh
25:30
my God. You know another
25:32
accident in 1986? Me?
25:35
Come on. Have
25:38
you been on the mind bender? I have been
25:40
on the mind bender and I got my mind
25:42
bended. My
25:44
aunt and uncle lived in Edmonton, so I went up
25:47
there in the summer. So I actually rode the mind
25:49
bender the week after it opened. Oh, yeah. And
25:51
then the week after it reopened after
25:54
the people had died. And
25:59
me and my sister were like, The Rico on this
26:01
list a little like what I wrote.
26:03
This is a freaky enough for to
26:05
have a roller coaster inside. I think
26:07
that was the most serious thing with
26:09
right bluffing. Shouldn't be. It's a fireworks
26:12
display in your gym, right? Inside,
26:15
well better view. The Edmonton was
26:17
the only blaze looking to get
26:20
rid of through this week. Think
26:22
again. This week the City of
26:24
Ottawa, Ontario had a fierce debate
26:26
over whether or not to severely
26:28
restrict a certain exciting activity. What's
26:31
the thrill were some ah she
26:33
was city officials looking to ban
26:35
fireworks like sledding as it is
26:37
indeed sledding. Well known for the
26:40
planning. Bad line from Serum Radio
26:42
news reads: Ottawa City Council defeats
26:44
to bargaining ban. City
26:46
council considered banning sledding on all but
26:48
two municipal hills. The National Post called
26:51
this a conduct version of Footloose. Allow
26:55
partly because Known as a National
26:57
Post has seen. Snow
27:01
in. The
27:17
proposal was overturned this weekend.
27:19
Council one local media outlet
27:21
described the council's debate in
27:23
vivid toboggan in tournaments. For
27:25
the point, how to describe
27:27
the debates? I'm here. To
27:30
debate on public to bothering went
27:32
downhill quickly with many bumps along
27:35
the way. The
27:37
article read A debate in the
27:39
council chambers on banning to bargaining
27:41
went downhill quickly. that
27:49
a surgery so needy and shankar
27:52
wanna and we have reached the
27:54
bottom of our hill thanks for
27:56
listening because he's written a breeze
