1:55

So would you ever jump in

1:57

a relationship with someone without

2:00

seeing what they look like ? It's

2:04

a tough question .

2:04

Okay , Actually I have a story .

2:07

Oh yeah , here you go . You've done this then .

2:09

Obviously , let me light

2:11

a candle .

2:12

I have Okay . But

2:15

kind of an not totally Okay .

2:18

Are you ?

2:19

ready for this . I'm waiting , let's go

2:21

. So I was . This was many , many

2:23

years ago , but I was like I'm not sure what website

2:25

it was , or it was like match or whatever

2:27

it was . We get this way . We think he really

2:30

called those dating apps , Anyway . So

2:32

I was , I was on there and I was talking to the sky and

2:34

so , okay , legitimately , I could see a

2:36

picture on there . He probably had five or six pictures and

2:39

we talked on the phone for a couple of weeks

2:41

actually , which was great and we got along . He was

2:43

awesome and everything . And so then I had this idea . I'm

2:45

like , okay , this has been

2:47

so awesome . What we're going to do is , let's

2:49

, let's go meet at that dine in the dark

2:51

place and you go

2:54

in first and then I will come in after . We'll

2:56

have this whole meal and

2:58

conversation beside each other without actually seeing each

3:00

other , and then at the end , of the meal

3:02

we'll leave and whatever happens from there , and so

3:05

we actually did it Seriously , oh yeah

3:07

.

3:08

So we had this .

3:11

Did you have catfish for dinner ?

3:16

I don't know what it was . How long did it stay

3:18

dark for ?

3:22

The whole , the whole meal . So

3:25

he went in first , and so then I

3:27

got there and I was holding it . I was

3:29

like okay , this is what we're doing . She's like okay , yeah , she's like he's

3:31

not too bad , he's okay . I'm like okay , good to know . So

3:35

. But we had this . It was the weirdest thing because I had never seen this

3:37

face or in real life when someone's acting , or facial

3:40

movements and everything like that , and so I had no

3:42

judge of that , but it was really interesting

3:44

. And at the end of the meal he's like okay . He's like can I kiss

3:46

you before we leave ? Oh man , and

3:48

I was just like okay , I'm like fine

3:50

, but just like just a pack . You know what I mean

3:53

. So we had a little kiss .

3:54

No tongue .

3:54

Like we get excited about and

3:57

then we get out into the lobby and , of course

3:59

, disappointment and

4:01

it's like no . That's horrible . I know why

4:07

would you put yourself through that it was an experience

4:09

.

4:09

Oh , my God , yeah .

4:12

So I just , I was bored , I was bored

4:14

.

4:14

Okay .

4:16

There are other ways to satisfy that . Well

4:20

, you don't have to .

4:24

It was fun .

4:25

How was that ? I've never like that

4:28

place doesn't exist anymore .

4:29

Does it the Dine in the Dark thing

4:31

? Is

4:33

it still around ? I don't know . Let me just let me go .

4:37

When they do that in Mexico , I fear for my life .

4:38

Yeah , I wouldn't go to

4:40

a place in Mexico , where it's dark , oh man . You

4:46

can just be real quick .

4:48

Not just that , it's just dark , it's called yeah Dark

4:50

table . It's still open , by the way it is .

4:54

So I heard um . Is it bright that the

4:56

, the serving staff there , are blind ? And I'm like , I'm like , I'm like

4:58

, I'm like , I'm like , I'm like .

5:01

I'm like , I'm like , I'm like , I'm like , I'm like , I'm like , I'm , I'm like okay . You

5:05

don't have to you , don't have to go to a place like that .

5:07

They don't have to go to a place like that and they just

5:09

they're all blind . They memorize the room

5:12

, and is that true ?

5:13

Yeah , yeah , that's , that's unreal .

5:15

That's cool , it's totally true .

5:17

And you're turning it into some fucked

5:19

up blind date situation .

5:21

Like Can you imagine those people are going like

5:23

that goes on there .

5:23

I just can't . There's so many ways .

5:26

They thought it was . They thought it was awesome . He was

5:28

hot too . Imagine if that had been worked out

5:30

.

5:32

No they did . He

5:35

said he was okay .

5:37

He was okay , smokeshow

5:41

, trust me , he's a smokeshow .

5:46

Just to be fair , he wasn't actually that

5:48

bad , just not for me .

5:51

Got it , that's just not my person

5:53

.

5:53

That's different from disappointment .

5:58

Yeah , that's not how you ended the story the first

6:00

time around .

6:03

So anyways the reason they .

6:05

I don't have time .

6:06

Okay , go ahead . What , no

6:09

? Okay . So the reason they bring this up

6:11

is there's been some

6:13

headlines about this . Love

6:16

is blind .

6:17

So this is a TV show reality , yeah , and

6:19

you know what ?

6:20

Maybe this is a realm I shouldn't dive into , because

6:22

I have and

6:26

I love reality TV Like

6:28

I fucking love it and

6:31

I did . I have this Like

6:34

I'm in it now , 90 Day Fiancé

6:36

, like I'm fucking in there . You're deep

6:38

, I am deep in there .

6:40

I didn't know that existed , like I follow

6:42

some of the people on Instagram .

6:44

That's how far in I'm a fucking 90

6:46

Day Fiancé . Okay

6:48

, I'm in . I gotta Google this

6:50

. This shit I

6:53

can't get behind Because you .

6:56

So what's it called ?

6:57

Love is blind .

6:58

Love is blind .

6:59

Yeah , okay , so

7:02

in theory you're not supposed to ask what season ?

7:07

What season is it I ?

7:08

honestly don't know . I

7:10

ran into it once before , but it was in Sweden

7:12

and it was all subtitled , so there

7:15

was just too many senses that weren't getting

7:17

it , tell us so .

7:19

I just couldn't do it . So what's the premise ?

7:21

Like so the premise is they can't see

7:23

each other , they talk to each other . You

7:27

can't give guidance as to Like

7:31

, if I say are you fat ? You

7:34

can't ask that .

7:35

Okay , right

7:38

, so apparently yeah

7:40

, but you can ask around about ways

7:42

, how .

7:43

Are you round ? How did ?

7:45

you ask the guy in the blind , the

7:47

dark place ? I never

7:50

asked .

7:52

You never asked them what you look like and

7:55

it's called dark table . I just said here it

7:57

was a dark place .

7:57

I was like that was the point .

8:00

The point was trying to match and Did

8:05

he set this up with you ?

8:06

Utilize the senses . What's

8:09

that ?

8:09

Was this his idea ? Did he get it at a place that

8:11

you couldn't see him ?

8:12

No , it was totally no , it was

8:14

totally my idea . It was totally my idea , jesus , I

8:16

just thought it would be such a cool story .

8:19

It is a good story . I'm

8:22

really glad you lived .

8:24

Anyways , so there's this guy

8:26

. So this

8:28

is what I've read on Ax

8:31

or Twitter , or whatever we're calling it now , and

8:34

formally known as Twitter . So

8:38

the girl he

8:40

was talking to two different girls . He got to choose between

8:43

the two girls , as

8:45

I understand it Naturally . I

8:47

just understand it that way .

8:49

So the one no , but there's

8:51

lots of people you're choosing from .

8:53

Oh is there .

8:54

Yeah , because what happens is you ? Okay , there's

8:56

like this is how it works there's 10 guys

8:58

and there's 10 girls and they all

9:00

kind of date each other . They're in separate

9:03

rooms and the girls sit on one

9:05

side , the guys sit on the other side and there's a screen

9:07

in the middle and they can talk back and forth , so they can't see

9:09

each other All right . And what

9:12

happens is each guy rotates around and goes

9:14

on a date with each girl . Then they come back and they

9:16

say , okay , I like this person , I want to go on a date

9:18

again with this one , this one and this one . And

9:20

they keep on doing that until someone

9:22

says will you marry me ? And

9:24

once they decide to get married , then they finally

9:26

get to come together and see each other .

9:28

So what's the date ? So they sit across the screen

9:30

and just talk about stuff

9:33

.

9:33

Their feelings .

9:34

Yeah , stuff Exactly .

9:35

Worf .

9:36

So , Feelings .

9:37

It's totally . They talk about their feelings . Okay

9:40

, so here's the part .

9:42

There's no physical interaction and all of a sudden it's like you will marry me Well

9:44

.

9:44

I don't know if that's what it is Zero . Zero

9:47

, anywho

9:50

, I watched it .

9:51

That's what it is From what I understand .

9:52

What went down this one guy ? He's

9:55

going between two girls . One

9:58

is a bombshell and

10:00

the other one is Her

10:03

claim to fame is her friends tell

10:06

her she looks like Megan Fox

10:08

, so Buddy is like hey

10:11

. I love the Transformers . Let's

10:16

date and he chooses

10:19

the one looks

10:21

like Megan Fox

10:23

, but

10:25

the punchline is she doesn't look like fucking

10:28

Megan Fox , because

10:31

you know , so he loses my Megan Fox . Meanwhile

10:35

, the bombshell is gone .

10:37

Hmm .

10:38

Sh ain't that some somebody

10:40

else that's not .

10:43

Ain't that some shit .

10:45

That's someone else . Did

10:47

someone else get the bombshell , though ? Just

10:49

the bomb ? I don't know .

10:50

This is I was just trying to . I was piecing this

10:52

together on Twitter X , whatever

10:54

we're calling it now , and

10:57

yeah

11:00

, I had no idea this is even

11:02

a thing .

11:02

It's fascinating .

11:04

I have a friend of mine . She watches the Swedish

11:06

. She watches the Swedish . So that's too

11:08

much , because to

11:11

me , you're reading subtitles

11:13

while you're trying to watch people who aren't looking

11:16

like they have no idea and you're not

11:18

allowed to ask what they look like , like it's just

11:20

too much , too many centuries , or like

11:22

it's completely contrived

11:24

, yeah , so like the

11:26

whole premise is like , can

11:28

you get past the physical attraction barriers

11:31

or they're not and see if you actually find someone

11:33

that you've got to battle with ?

11:35

Yeah , yeah . And it sounds

11:37

like everybody in this show is equally stupid , so

11:39

they should all be perfect for each other .

11:40

Well well , yeah .

11:44

And we're going to boil it down . Okay ? Well , I don't

11:47

think so . Christine fucking built

11:49

this on her own . She didn't even need the fucking show

11:51

. She did this herself

11:53

. She stepped out

11:55

and fucking did it herself . I did this before

11:58

the show .

11:59

I did it before the show we

12:02

even came out . I should have fucking

12:04

started this show . I made a lot of money , man .

12:07

It's not like this . Is that unheard of Christine

12:10

did it in fucking Kensington or

12:12

Inglewood or wherever this dark place

12:14

is Somewhere downtown

12:16

?

12:16

That's amazing .

12:17

That's amazing . Yeah

12:21

, it was so dark , you'd even know .

12:26

I just can't .

12:27

I couldn't even like I don't even know what to

12:29

say . Yeah , so

12:32

if you're like , you're like you know

12:34

, we really got something going on here . Lights

12:36

come on . It's like , yeah , this isn't for me

12:38

.

12:39

I feel like so what's the message there ? I feel

12:41

like that happens at 2am at most places . Yeah

12:43

.

12:44

No , I get it Like last call right

12:47

.

12:48

But the I go , that's come on . You're like oh

12:50

no but .

12:51

But you're going down this road like , oh yeah , you're

12:53

so special , we connect on

12:55

so many levels , and then the

12:57

lights come on , the barrier

13:00

comes down . You're like , oh

13:02

, this is a disappointment , we

13:06

don't connect on all these levels anymore . I'll get

13:08

it . No , you can't connect on one fucking

13:11

level .

13:13

We're missing the foundation of this house , Like

13:18

isn't that wild . That is wild

13:20

, so okay . So what's the status

13:22

on ? Like what ?

13:23

did you say , christine , you're just like oh

13:26

, we connect on so many levels and then you don't

13:28

. As soon as you see him , he's like yeah

13:30

.

13:31

Yeah , well , you know

13:33

, I I can't even really remember what happened

13:35

. I just I vaguely remember we went out

13:37

for a beer after that and then

13:39

I found out that he ran kind of a

13:41

stores and I was just like , oh yeah , no

13:43

, like that's not for me , and

13:46

you didn't ask that before that already

13:48

. And then I

13:51

don't know why I didn't know that before . No , I

13:53

must . I don't know why I didn't ask . That it's really weird

13:55

. And then he

13:57

was telling me all about that and I don't know . We

14:00

ended the date and I just never talked to him

14:02

.

14:03

So I got to wind this back a little bit . So you're

14:05

, you set this up , you got the conversation

14:08

going over text or whatever , right , that's

14:10

how it was . And you meet for dinner at

14:13

the dark table , and that's

14:16

a it's like a three hour dinner , isn't it ? It takes

14:18

a while .

14:20

No , it's not that long .

14:21

It's not long .

14:22

I'd say it's 90 minutes .

14:23

So okay , so 90 minutes you got , you get like

14:25

three servings , three courses , okay so you got

14:27

90 minutes .

14:28

You're crossing this guy Just not the inner course .

14:33

Just just not that . So

14:37

you're you're 90 minutes at this

14:39

place Pitch dark , yeah , I

14:42

mean , and like were you vibing it , were

14:45

you into it ? Like did the conversation

14:47

work ? Yeah , because

14:49

, okay , this is the thing .

14:50

Yeah , the conversation was great and this is the thing . He

14:53

had a really awesome voice , Okay . So this is what kept me

14:56

hooked in there and

14:59

and that was one of the reasons we were talking

15:01

and he I remember talking with him and he wanted

15:03

to face for radio .

15:04

This was when it all came out , I'm like I don't

15:06

want to .

15:06

I don't want to see your face .

15:07

Yeah , Like

15:09

I know I'm going to be disappointed and so so

15:13

he was built up as being like this Fabio kind of

15:15

awesome guy , like so good looking , great

15:17

voice . And then the lights come on . You're

15:20

like oh , fuck . Well

15:22

, like oh yeah .

15:24

Imagine this wasn't there . Well , yeah

15:26

, yeah , I'm like , oh , I'm like

15:28

, oh , I'm like , oh , I'm like , oh , I'm like , oh , I'm like , oh , yeah

15:32

, I feel actually really bad

15:35

now .

15:38

We don't know what he looks like either .

15:44

That's rough , you

15:48

know . It's funny , Like when we , when

15:50

we talk about things we're going to talk about . This was

15:52

just like a sidebar , but this has turned into

15:54

a significant part of this episode .

16:00

I totally forgot about that experience too

16:02

. That was so funny .

16:05

Oh my God , I'm going to do that again .

16:06

That's amazing .

16:07

I'm going to set that up in Calgary as a thing

16:09

, oh no .

16:11

We should , uh , we should . Podcast

16:13

from the dark table .

16:15

Oh God , oh

16:17

my God , I love it . Wouldn't that be fun ?

16:19

I've never been there we should go . Dude , I

16:21

didn't tell you this . And uh , people

16:23

calling my office soliciting

16:26

me to be . They listened

16:28

to the village confidential and

16:31

they wanted me to be there so

16:33

that people , even though I'd

16:35

gotten right yeah . People . No

16:38

. So , christine , I was just saying like I

16:40

had people reach out to my office and

16:43

they want me on their podcast

16:45

to be a financial professional because they'd listened

16:47

to the village confidential .

16:49

Really yes , oh my God what .

16:51

And I didn't return the call and they've emailed me

16:53

six times . Wow

16:55

, it's , it's weird .

17:00

Right .

17:00

So , and what kind of they're ? They're

17:02

like a commercial , or what do they want you

17:04

for , or is it some of the ?

17:05

no , like a show they want because

17:07

they produce a bunch of different podcasts . So they want

17:10

and I'm

17:12

like no , no A

17:15

. You know I've been writing this podcast

17:18

for uh

17:20

, into the close for how long and it's

17:22

getting it through . Compliance is like

17:24

I can get it through compliance

17:27

, but it's not the show that I want to do . So

17:30

this is what's going on right now . So you don't want to

17:32

go on the , so I'm not going to go do it somewhere

17:34

else for free Right .

17:36

And then , and the resume doesn't . It's not

17:39

accented by the leather and whips podcast . Right

17:41

, that's right .

17:43

Yeah , the dark castle . Where

17:45

, where'd you eat Dark , what Dark

17:48

table .

17:49

Dark table .

17:50

Dark castle sounds better , Especially

17:58

if there was a Gimp Like a

18:00

zipper mouth . Oh

18:02

, I'd be . I'd be gold

18:05

.

18:05

He wasn't wearing that , was he ?

18:06

He was wearing that , so here's a

18:09

question Maybe

18:13

there's been this conversation

18:15

around reparations , and

18:18

I think it's happened

18:20

in the States , it's definitely happened in Canada

18:23

. So there

18:25

was a conversation that was

18:27

going on around this and

18:29

one of the hosts of the view had

18:32

was very strong on the

18:34

side of reparations

18:36

. So if you were a descendant

18:39

of someone who was a

18:41

slave , you would receive

18:44

compensation .

18:46

So this is you're getting money for

18:49

what your ancestors

18:51

or relatives had

18:53

endured .

18:54

Yeah , okay . So

18:56

, and I again I don't understand the

18:58

topic that well , because I don't understand if

19:00

it would be the state , ie

19:03

, the US government , that would

19:06

have to pay it , right , or who

19:08

would have to pay it . Okay

19:10

, so

19:12

now I have to look up her name . I

19:15

can look it up . Can you look it up from her

19:17

?

19:20

S-O-N-N-Y-S-H-O-S-G-I-N

19:22

.

19:23

Is that what it is , sunny ? Is

19:25

there a name Sunny ?

19:27

Yeah , sunny Hauston , s-o-n-n-y-s

19:29

.

19:29

Okay , so Sunny Hauston

19:31

, honey , honey , sauston . See

19:34

, I just fucking

19:36

helped her Right .

19:37

See , that's alias .

19:41

Honey Sauston Like it's .

19:43

She just needs to start a bar with you

19:46

.

19:48

Wait , I'm going to start a podcast

19:50

on sex and that's going to be my name , honey Sauston , anywho

19:56

. So

19:58

she goes on this PBS

20:01

show to find out her roots and

20:03

they test her for it . They do this

20:05

build up and explain where all

20:08

the nuances of her family and

20:11

she is feeling that she's entitled

20:13

to reparations . Well , she's in favor

20:15

of it . She considers herself

20:17

Puerto Rican , okay , okay

20:20

. So

20:22

right at the end of the show then they're like

20:24

okay , it's time for us

20:26

to disclose , kind of , what your roots

20:28

are , and I'm going to play this clip .

20:32

Okay , here we go .

20:33

Wow , I'm

20:37

a little bit in shock . I just always thought of myself

20:39

as Puerto Rican , you know , half Puerto Rican

20:41

. I didn't think I was . My

20:44

family was originally from Spain and slaveholders

20:47

yeah .

20:49

Yeah , so how are you feeling , my

20:51

friend ?

20:52

I just I think it's actually

20:54

pretty interesting that

20:56

my husband and I have shared

20:59

roots , so I

21:01

do appreciate that and

21:03

I think it's great for our children to

21:05

know this information . I

21:09

guess it's a fact of life that

21:11

this is how some people made their living

21:13

.

21:15

So there you have it . She is the

21:17

descendant of Spanish

21:19

slave owners .

21:25

So , according

21:27

to the New York Post , her

21:29

ancestors quote owned

21:32

at least one human .

21:39

Not funny , but what

21:41

do you do there ? So does she

21:43

owe , like ? Does her family

21:45

owe reparitions to the descendants

21:48

of the people that they owned ?

21:50

I don't think that I mean , like you said

21:52

before , you don't know where it comes from , right .

21:54

How does that work ?

21:55

No , I think it's the government that pays that

21:57

, not individual people

21:59

.

21:59

It's wild , but I think you . So

22:02

there's a couple of things .

22:04

Can you imagine , like , don't you think you would check into

22:06

that first , Like hop on theanchestercom

22:08

.

22:10

Just have a quick little search .

22:12

It's wild . You're so confident Like

22:15

I , I mean . This whole

22:17

thing makes me question where .

22:17

I'm from . You go into ancestry and you put in

22:20

your name and then you click on

22:22

the box says did I own slaves ? Oh

22:25

, yes or no Is that true ?

22:26

Is that the search ?

22:28

I don't know if it's there , but I feel like she wants that

22:31

button .

22:31

I'm gonna do that . I want to know if I've owned slaves

22:33

.

22:34

Well , like , okay , let

22:37

me give you a scenario . Like my

22:39

grandfather migrated or , pardon

22:41

me , immigrated . He didn't bust

22:43

through the fence , he came through in legal

22:46

methods to Canada

22:48

, he immigrated .

22:50

No migration .

22:51

No migration . So

22:54

from Switzerland he

22:56

could have easily been on the

22:58

wrong side of the Swiss border . You know , if I

23:00

go back I think about it . He probably got

23:02

here right after World War II , right ? So

23:07

am I a Nazi ? I'm scared shitless

23:09

of doing one of these things . By the way .

23:12

I mean the community government

23:14

made that mistake last year .

23:17

Yeah they can't even identify

23:19

him when they know that's what they are Like throwing

23:22

some . Google next time you invite someone

23:24

Right , but can you

23:26

imagine ?

23:28

Oh , I mean the embarrassment that

23:31

would come from that . I'd be horrified for sure

23:33

. And you know you like . Here's

23:35

the conundrum , like do you want to know what

23:37

is in your past ?

23:39

Yeah , I don't .

23:39

That's the big question .

23:42

I hate . Look , I have a past that I actually know about

23:44

and I don't want to know it .

23:49

So I actually did it myself and

23:51

I'm just like fuck , I don't think I can

23:53

tell Colton about this .

23:56

What time is it ?

23:58

Probably best to leave that at the dark table .

24:01

Yeah , well , just leave that at

24:03

the dark castle .

24:06

Leave it under the dark table , under

24:09

the dark table .

24:13

That would be an interesting episode

24:16

or like show to like have people go back

24:18

into their history and find out who they're related

24:20

to and what they're related with .

24:22

And who would have thought PBS can't figure

24:25

this one out ? Oh , yeah , right

24:28

, pbs did it

24:30

. Yeah , not TBC , someone had it out for her . You

24:33

think Like

24:37

her face in the clip is like

24:40

it's wild .

24:41

I feel like somebody had PBS

24:43

, just did a little ancestry search and was

24:45

like have I got an episode for you

24:47

? Yeah Right , like

24:50

that had to be set up .

24:51

Yeah , exactly .

24:53

Yeah , you would think so .

24:54

It's wild I

24:58

feel like she just did it for ? Do you think

25:00

that maybe she just did it for the attention ? Now

25:04

everybody's going to know who she is .

25:07

I don't know if that's the attention you want . Yeah

25:09

, I mean you could do a lot of things to get attention

25:12

.

25:13

Yeah , speaking of the view , where

25:15

are you coming on the view there , christine ?

25:18

I just I can't watch it . I can't

25:20

listen to all those women gaggling back and

25:22

forth about shit .

25:24

So couple weeks ago Dr Phil wheeled

25:27

in there , oh great , and

25:32

he got into it with whoopie and

25:35

it was all around COVID

25:37

and shutting

25:40

down schools , right .

25:42

Is that a topic that you should be ?

25:44

discussing .

25:44

Who is on what side ?

25:47

Well , dr Phil was like that was

25:49

the absolute worst thing they could have done , because

25:51

he had the age

25:53

group . That was the absolute lowest

25:55

impact from COVID

25:58

and the big point he was

26:00

making is , at

26:02

schools there's observers where

26:05

they are looking

26:08

at , there's professionals that they are looking to find

26:10

, make sure that there's

26:12

kids not in distress through abusive

26:15

relationship with family

26:17

members or parents , and that whole

26:19

side of it was shut down . So

26:21

then you had these kids that were subjected 24

26:24

, seven to these abusers for

26:27

two years in a row , and

26:30

that's what the data shows . It

26:33

was wild .

26:34

Yeah , that was Dr Phil's point

26:36

.

26:36

Yeah , yeah .

26:41

I mean , I don't know if we

26:43

want to retread COVID stuff , but nobody

26:46

won with any of those restrictions , like

26:48

nobody came up better . No .

26:51

No , no , peloton

26:53

was better . Peloton

26:56

stock was a lot better . Like

26:58

a lot better , that thing was yeah

27:01

, yeah .

27:05

Past tense on that one .

27:06

Yeah yeah , it's

27:08

funny , the and

27:10

I always . You know I work in this

27:12

racket , but I'm always amazed at just

27:14

the cycles and things . Right

27:17

, that's always so amazing to me . What

27:19

are you doing , christine ? You're writing an essay . What's going

27:21

on over there ?

27:24

I'm trying to log into something over there to get

27:26

some information that you think are challenging

27:29

.

27:30

Are you doing some work while we're entertaining ?

27:32

I'll get it , though . No

27:35

, I'm not . I was trying to get some , I can see

27:37

it in your glasses .

27:39

It's reflecting and I can see what you're doing

27:41

.

27:51

I'm trying to play with you

27:54

all the time .

28:05

I'm looking for my e-sports trainer . Oh

28:08

okay , I thought I'd have a friend somewhere .

28:12

So your business is fully back on

28:14

from COVID .

28:17

I would say , yes , you

28:20

know . What's interesting , though , is the well

28:23

, from one point , everybody's working from

28:25

home , right , yeah , and then everybody

28:27

still wanted to be at home , and then everybody wanted to be back at the office , and

28:29

then the office has mandated people to come

28:31

back , and now everybody's pissed about it . But

28:34

what I've noticed with our business because we sit on

28:36

the periphery of downtown the

28:38

days that are really busy with traffic are

28:40

Tuesday , wednesday , thursdays , monday

28:42

, fridays are dead , yeah . Because everybody's at home

28:44

, yep and

28:46

I guess what translates to busy day for us .

28:48

Yeah .

28:50

Tuesday , Wednesday , Thursday .

28:52

That's interesting yeah .

28:55

It's , yeah , it's a different

28:57

world and we

28:59

you know people now because

29:02

money's tighter , recession well

29:05

, I guess technical recession

29:07

were we ever in that ? Or just on the brink of

29:09

yeah , I

29:12

mean longer ?

29:14

It felt like a rolling recession through sectors

29:16

Like it wasn't all at once .

29:19

It was , yeah , inflation

29:21

and then job losses , whatever , whatever . We

29:23

find that we're just having to rebuild a lot now , where

29:26

people are waiting until they're completely

29:28

destroyed before they come in to see us . So

29:30

the work that we do is harder

29:32

now .

29:33

Yeah .

29:33

Yeah , right , but we're more likely Bot meidän capable of

29:35

really really broken , but

29:38

it's coming like no complaints , happy

29:41

. We're only closed for a couple of months , a couple of years ago , and we're

29:44

doing lessons .

29:45

And here's Christine just wandering

29:47

around with COVID . Just

29:49

wandering flying to Arizona

29:52

looking for new strains . How

29:54

can I give this to 300 ?

29:56

more people .

29:59

I know I'll go on a flight .

30:05

I'm so mad at that lady . I had a moment

30:07

and so this was my . I'm like I'm carrying

30:09

a mask with me from now on , because I just took them all out

30:11

of my bag . I just didn't think they were needed anymore

30:13

. But obviously people

30:16

don't wear masks when they're sick on planes , and they should .

30:18

Was it the no .

30:19

However , who knows ?

30:20

Was it the giant bag of fishermen friends , that you

30:22

put out on the tray table that gave it away ?

30:27

Is there a horsey voice when she was talking to her husband

30:30

. I'm like you're sick .

30:31

I'm like you're sick , Was it

30:33

? Was it the rectal thermometer she pulled out ?

30:38

Have you ever looked back at the mask ? Have

30:41

you ever looked back at all the mask inventory you

30:43

have ? Oh , yeah , yeah .

30:46

Oh , my God .

30:47

When I took my vehicle , I traded my vehicle in .

30:49

I think it's all thrown out .

30:51

I traded my vehicle in and I emptied my

30:53

like glove box . Matt

30:56

, I had a lot of different masks in there .

30:59

You know I'm all hanging off the review mirror . Yeah

31:02

, no .

31:02

It was like , and it was always

31:05

like I'd go

31:07

to get an x-ray and you go

31:09

on there and like they're like you

31:11

need a mask . I'm like do you have one ?

31:13

No .

31:14

So then you know , run out to your vehicle , get

31:17

whatever you had , your bedazzled

31:20

mask that has zero

31:22

protection , an old sock Like

31:24

wander back in . I've

31:27

been walking for years . Can I have my

31:29

x-ray now ? That's not a medical mask

31:31

, You're going to have

31:33

to rebook . See

31:35

you in November , it's

31:37

only six months away . Oh

31:40

okay , I'm sorry I wasn't prepared

31:42

for this meeting .

31:46

Like I don't miss those fucking days . No , I

31:48

don't either . I

31:51

don't either . It's

31:53

funny going to the hockey game the other

31:55

night and watching the flames out

31:57

there and remembering back when the

32:00

whole thing was shut down .

32:02

Yeah .

32:03

Remember they were playing in the

32:05

saddle dome and all the rain is around the city

32:07

and they had those blankets

32:10

or whatever they were , the covers over top of the

32:12

seats . Yeah .

32:14

Yeah , wild it

32:16

was such a strange time .

32:18

Yeah , really was .

32:21

What is the stupid thing to do ?

32:23

Well , I mean , you think back and

32:25

I like I will say that if

32:27

you go back and we always said this before- two

32:29

years ago we talked about . This is the post mortem on this is going

32:31

to be really bloody because

32:34

we don't know what we're doing right now , but

32:36

everybody's trying to make the best decisions they can . Yeah

32:38

, so at the time

32:40

it was like , okay , that makes perfect sense

32:42

, that keeps in line with the public health measures , it could be

32:44

everyone safe . And then you look back at it now so

32:46

for second time , there's bullshit . Whoa we doing

32:49

. Yeah , yeah , and

32:51

not that it wasn't appropriate at the time Like I'm not seeing

32:53

that , it's just like what you know now

32:55

. That's why hindsight is always 2020 .

32:57

I remember when it was just two weeks . It's

33:00

two weeks .

33:00

Yeah , it's two weeks man , it's to be a bump

33:03

.

33:04

Yeah , yeah , yeah yeah

33:06

.

33:07

And you know I mean it's still , it's

33:10

still out there , but you

33:12

know it's different now . I remember , and

33:14

I was never one of the ones that was wiping off my or

33:16

like selling my groceries and that kind of stuff

33:18

, right , Christine , was I worry ?

33:21

I did .

33:23

I did , I did , I totally did .

33:25

Did you forget to wipe your groceries ? Is that what

33:27

happened ? This ?

33:29

is what happens , but

33:31

yeah .

33:31

I remember like going to the grocery store and , like

33:33

you know , you had to walk on the

33:36

right side of the aisle and you had to maintain

33:38

the spacing and yeah , and

33:40

now it's just a free for all , like

33:42

who cares , I mean think about it , dude

33:45

, like just thinking about , like when

33:47

I was in Nelsonette and to go to the gym and

33:50

you'd your masking tape lines

33:52

that you had to stay within .

33:55

Yeah , I remember that . God so

33:58

crazy . Yeah , it was so crazy . So

34:01

arrive can app .

34:07

Where is the conspiracy about

34:09

over there Arrived ?

34:11

can app . Why don't we talk

34:13

about that ? Oh

34:16

my gosh . 60 million .

34:19

It was more than that , wasn't ?

34:19

I thought it was 300 and someone Well , it

34:22

was 300 and someone million went to that same company

34:24

. But they think arrive scam

34:26

was only 60 million

34:28

even , which would cost 80

34:30

grand to build that app .

34:34

And you're getting around to the thing that

34:36

came out , where the CEO

34:39

of that company works for the Department

34:41

of National Defense . Yeah

34:43

, I just

34:45

want to listen to peer poly talk about this

34:48

. I just want to hear it .

34:51

Yeah , I want to hear the RCMP talk about it . That's

34:54

even better . Yeah

34:57

, in an interview

34:59

room . You

35:02

know the ones that they lock the doors .

35:04

Yeah , the light in the eyes .

35:05

Yeah , that's what I want , to like man

35:08

.

35:09

Unbelievable .

35:11

And then

35:13

now there's a problem with our you

35:16

know these people that we like going Winnipeg

35:18

and they were

35:20

sharing information

35:25

on some of the

35:27

COVID viruses that they were working

35:29

on .

35:30

In Winnipeg . Yeah , no , I haven't heard

35:32

this .

35:33

You haven't seen this one yet . That's

35:36

yeah , that's a good one .

35:38

That's great . Shut up

35:40

Winnipeg . Yeah , Like

35:43

not just Winnipeg like Canada

35:45

. Wow .

35:47

That's awful . Yeah , go Canada . Yeah

35:49

, hey

35:52

, at least we got that arm on the space shuttle . We're

35:55

getting a lot of home runs on plate . It's

36:01

a nice arm . It's just wild , Like

36:06

it's just a wild time .

36:08

Yeah , do

36:10

you think this stuff always went on and we're just

36:12

more aware of it now , like they're reporting

36:15

?

36:15

so much different . Hey yeah , I

36:17

just don't know . I'm

36:20

just so disappointed how many conspiracy

36:22

theories are actually accurate ?

36:25

I'm so disappointed . I didn't believe any of them . Shut

36:31

up Flat Earthers .

36:34

Yeah you're next .

36:37

I'm sorry , I'm just going to start apologizing

36:40

now . Yeah

36:42

, it's wild , Like the

36:45

amount of stuff that's been going

36:47

on . It's just wild .

36:49

Yeah , it's interesting . So we in

36:51

the population becomes further and further

36:53

divided over topics that they know nothing about , 100%

36:56

.

36:56

This doesn't help anything . This you , that

36:59

was a perfect segue . Like , I

37:02

don't care to know what your political

37:05

skews are , but

37:08

I've like I find it

37:10

. I find it . Yeah , sorry about that

37:12

. I find it . I've

37:15

found that I'm

37:17

becoming less tolerant of different opinions

37:19

, like I really am .

37:24

You're finding this now , I feel , I feel , I feel

37:26

like this is all he's been .

37:28

This is a good . This is a good comment right here . This

37:30

is not new . Christine's

37:33

got the knife out . Now here she comes .

37:39

Are you saying about me ? I feel like that you

37:41

would have said the same . Yes , you would have said

37:43

the same thing three years ago .

37:46

Hey look , I'm

37:48

just bringing something to light . You

37:52

don't have to bring the past into it , I'm

37:57

just bringing something forward . I

38:01

just feel like I'm just

38:03

bringing something forward . That

38:05

is new to me . It

38:07

may not be new to you .

38:12

This is the safe place to share .

38:14

Yeah , I felt like this was what's

38:16

welfare I'll say . In old school I thought this

38:18

was the safe tree , Clearly

38:28

not .

38:30

I did to your point , though , like I get frustrated

38:32

with decisions that are being made strictly

38:34

and political stripe and not common

38:36

sense , and that's where we're

38:39

going . Yeah , it's

38:41

just , it's so silly , and I'll bring

38:43

up a very relevant example that happened

38:45

in the last few weeks . The

38:47

federal government comes up with this pharma

38:49

care system , to my

38:51

knowledge , didn't consult any of the provinces

38:54

on it , at least not to any significant

38:56

degree . It's an overreach . It's an

38:58

overreach . And then , like

39:01

we , you know , as the our listener

39:04

knows , we have a

39:06

type one diabetic .

39:07

Yeah , and that was your list .

39:10

And we've fought for years and years , and years to get

39:12

covered for all of her supplies and blah , blah , blah , and we've been

39:14

successful . It's taken us 17 years

39:16

to get it all done , but we're there . But the

39:18

only thing that isn't covered , the

39:21

only thing that is not covered now

39:23

is insulin . The fucking

39:25

one thing that keeps them alive is not

39:28

. The is the thing that isn't covered . Yeah

39:30

. So pharma care comes up and

39:32

they're like , hey , we're going to cover it . And we're like , shit , we finally

39:34

got the full package . And crazy

39:36

Danny denied yeah

39:39

. And so I have no

39:41

affiliation to liberals or God knows

39:43

the federal NDP , but I'm like , finally

39:46

, somebody spoke up for the kids that need this stuff

39:48

. Yeah , and then , based on

39:50

a political strife that has nothing to do with healthcare

39:52

, yeah . And then it pulls

39:54

the , pulls the , the void stamp .

39:56

Now , now , I don't think she's , I

39:58

don't think that's what they said , what

40:00

they said was they would do something else

40:03

. No , all they said is they

40:05

want details on what it actually is

40:07

, which I think is a

40:09

fair question . Don't you think that's

40:11

a fair question ? Totally fair question what

40:13

? What is it ?

40:14

Could you send a memo before you announce it

40:16

to the Canadian population ?

40:18

Well , they're doing it because there was a deadline for

40:21

the government to be .

40:23

But don't you think it also leverages ? Like

40:26

it , you know it basically pits

40:28

political affiliations against

40:30

. Like it , it works for them from an election

40:32

standpoint .

40:33

It does , but you were in

40:37

my opinion . You were asking for

40:39

it because you were it's not a part

40:41

of your mandate

40:43

? Yeah , right , and yes , some . Yeah

40:46

, federal funding goes to healthcare , but

40:49

the allocation of it is a mandate

40:52

. Totally 100% , so

40:55

did not like . Hey , everyone

40:57

we're going to have a meeting about this

40:59

new farm care that we're going to bring

41:01

out . Let's get together

41:03

and talk about it . There wasn't that .

41:07

So in , in . That is the point that I'm making

41:09

, from the perspective that , if they're going to come

41:11

out with this program , no and I

41:13

understand what you're saying why don't you make a ?

41:14

couple . Danny , crazy Danny did it . It's

41:18

just like no it's . But that's the optics , sure

41:20

, and she's fine with that .

41:22

A quick little phone call but like hey , we're thinking about this , what do you think

41:24

?

41:24

Yeah , and she was a said fuck off anyways

41:27

. Yeah , she probably was . But right

41:29

, well , prime minister , showed

41:31

up in in our , our capital

41:33

, and didn't even go

41:35

and see her . So , yeah , so

41:38

that's a lot . Wouldn't have a meeting with

41:40

her when she went to Ottawa , so

41:43

it goes both ways . For sure , I'm

41:46

not a fan of hers , but

41:48

I can also see you

41:51

know what's going on .

41:52

She's good if she doesn't talk .

41:54

Well , I don't think that's fair . I

42:00

could say that about the other guy too . Yeah

42:02

, sure Good .

42:05

There's a problem in the century .

42:08

Yeah , yeah , I mean we

42:10

have big issues up here , but we're

42:12

not , we're not our Southern neighbors right now .

42:15

No , that's totally different situation

42:17

. Yeah , Like

42:20

we at least . We have three parties and

42:26

depending on what province you're in , it's

42:28

four . And why is it okay for Quebec to opt

42:30

out ? Just curious of , but

42:33

it's a problem for Alberta .

42:36

Oh , and the healthcare ? Yeah , oh

42:38

, I didn't anyone that opts out .

42:40

So no , but Quebec opted out and still received

42:42

their funding .

42:44

But that's how Quebec works .

42:45

Okay , I wasn't sure how that worked Well because

42:47

that's Quebec Right . They'll

42:50

take all the funding they want . But if we opt out we

42:52

lose our funding Totally . Yeah

42:54

, interesting yeah .

42:58

But we don't have a second language .

42:59

Christine , did you own a French person ? Is

43:02

that what happened ?

43:03

Did I owe you .

43:04

Are you descendants of people who own French people ?

43:08

I thought you found me out .

43:12

You found me out for God's sake .

43:15

You owe reparations . I mean over

43:17

and above the trend , over

43:21

and above the 12 billion we sent Quebec every

43:23

year .

43:25

Yeah , exactly , exactly .

43:29

Over and above the 12 billion in equalization

43:32

payments , you owe them reparations

43:35

.

43:38

I don't even know

43:40

some insulin please . My

43:47

daughter right now is doing her social

43:49

30 for upgrading in school , and

43:52

this is what they're talking about . What

43:54

makes Canada such a great place ? How is the

43:56

balance between individualism and oh

44:00

my God , what are we ? Collectivism

44:03

? Why

44:05

is that made Canada so special ? I'm trying to help her and I'm

44:08

like it doesn't . Yeah , it doesn't

44:10

.

44:11

Do we have a balance ? Well , this

44:13

is what the argument is .

44:18

And so this is what yeah , we lean more .

44:21

If you have enough population to have

44:23

enough votes , yes , but if you're sparsely populated

44:25

, not so much

44:27

, not so much . Oh

44:31

man , it's wild , interesting

44:35

time and I think

44:37

, the perspective .

44:40

Like a teacher's perspective would

44:42

be different than other people .

44:47

Well , I think in this room , all

44:49

self-employed .

44:50

Different perspective from those that are

44:53

government employed . Or I remember when Colton right Great

44:56

11 , Colton came home and his teacher gave him an NDP

44:58

pin .

44:59

That was my favorite day . That's an overreach

45:02

right there .

45:05

Yeah , so okay , this

45:07

is a few weeks ago . But

45:10

I got it . I

45:13

got it back this up . So , speaking about

45:15

the entitlement of society , well , here we go . So

45:19

there was a lot of people who were like I'm not going to be able

45:21

to do this , here we go . So

45:25

there was this push and it was all over the radio stations

45:27

. It was when we did our leap year

45:29

episode Whatever that was and

45:33

Salary

45:36

employees want extra pay

45:38

for February 29th

45:40

because it's an extra day in the year .

45:43

Nice At least don't .

45:46

Yeah , it was on the news . They were talking about it . Shut

45:48

up . No , I'm not .

45:50

Yeah , oh , my God .

45:51

Yeah , god , can

45:55

you believe that it's a day Fuck just by itself .

45:58

Well , it makes up for the four hours you miss Let it make you

46:00

seriously hate .

46:00

Oh no , oh

46:03

, my God , it's just it's

46:05

a different world being employed and

46:08

being self-employed . It's just different .

46:10

Yeah , it's

46:12

just fucking different .

46:14

It doesn't make sense to me .

46:19

Well .

46:20

Two weeks , three weeks ago I guess

46:23

, we had to have six

46:25

days of trying different coffees

46:27

in

46:29

the office .

46:32

Do tell oh .

46:36

Staff are very passionate about their coffee

46:38

.

46:38

You need to go and look at the fire .

46:39

Yeah .

46:42

Wait , they're passionate about the coffee

46:44

that you provide .

46:46

Yeah , it wasn't me . It

46:48

was can't accord , but it was just interesting

46:50

the process , like the

46:54

fear of change .

47:00

The absolute fear of change . I

47:03

don't .

47:04

so , christine , you know me and

47:06

Nespresso have a very deep personal

47:08

relationship . I

47:11

have an Nespresso in my office , so

47:13

I don't , I'm like you

47:16

don't really care what the thing is . You could . You

47:18

could fucking have tequila out

47:20

there . I wouldn't know . Like I wouldn't know

47:22

, I

47:24

slither in , have my little

47:26

double espresso , throw

47:29

an extra shot in a little bit of hot water

47:31

. I'm good , done

47:33

Shakey for the morning , me

47:35

. And who's the guy who owns it ? He

47:39

was in Oceans 13 . What's his name ?

47:43

George Clooney Clooney and .

47:45

I wait , Clooney owns Nespresso

47:47

. He's in there , yeah .

47:51

Really .

47:52

Yeah , I learned so much when I do these

47:54

things .

47:56

Like I just my coffee's just so sexy

47:58

as George is in there , yeah

48:01

.

48:03

You didn't know that ? No , I didn't . I feel good about

48:05

my coffees . Now you should feel good about your

48:07

coffee . I really do , because since I've

48:09

been to your place in Nelson , I bought

48:11

an espresso the week after and I

48:13

have a . I have a backup machine , as

48:15

do I .

48:16

Yes .

48:18

I've been a fiend since I was at your place

48:20

a year and a half ago .

48:21

You gotta have all the colors .

48:26

I do have my favorites for sure .

48:27

And then I used to give Christine all the colors I didn't

48:29

like at the end of the season .

48:33

I know , don't you feel guilty , though , about this color

48:35

, like don't you feel guilty about the pods ? I felt

48:37

guilty about the pods .

48:39

Never thought of it till now , ladybugs

48:41

live in those .

48:42

Yeah , like I feel , I feel bad

48:44

. Even though they recycle , then we know they'll .

48:46

Yeah , I put them in the plastic bag and then we're like sending

48:48

them back .

48:48

You really dumped them in the ocean .

48:49

No , I have villages of ladybugs

48:52

that live in them . Ladybugs

48:54

move into them .

48:55

When I'm done and they make things

48:57

. I don't think there's that many ladybugs .

48:59

See , I put them in a plastic bag and

49:02

I put them in the , in the whatever

49:04

for the post office and then they fly off somewhere

49:06

. So the carbon footprint of my recycling is

49:08

it's a I'm net zero , basically yeah

49:11

.

49:13

Yeah , sometimes I

49:15

can't handle it , I can't do it , sometimes I

49:17

put them in the red bag .

49:18

I feel so guilty and I don't feel like going to the post

49:20

office . I throw the red bag at the garbage

49:22

Right now in a and throwing them

49:24

back .

49:25

Back in nature , back

49:49

to nature , my friend , the

49:51

giant refrigerator sitting in that landfill

49:53

?

49:53

Yeah , Terrible .

49:54

Yeah , yeah , linking

49:56

free on everywhere .

49:58

Oh my god .

50:00

I'm surprised that they still allow that because without

50:02

, because without , like now they've reduced

50:04

, like you can't have single use items

50:06

. I'm surprised that the government hasn't stepped in and said

50:08

no , you may not have , you're not going to allow you to sell

50:10

that stuff in Canada .

50:12

I thought that got repealed . I thought the

50:14

single use thing in Calgary got repealed . What

50:16

?

50:16

The bylaw . Yeah , yeah , danielle

50:20

canceled it .

50:21

Oh god , Rupia did . It got taken out . She can't

50:23

do it . She allowed to cancel that she's allowed to cancel that

50:25

.

50:25

I think they were looking into it in the city council . We're going

50:27

to have to repeal it .

50:28

Hey , we're not saving it . It's not a climate emergency

50:30

anymore .

50:30

Okay , I hope that's the case because

50:33

I'm really missing my green stuffers from Starbucks

50:35

. Like I cannot tell you how I miss them . Like

50:37

when I go to the US I hold onto them

50:39

and I bring back a big pack of them . I can

50:41

stick them in my coffee when I get them .

50:43

I don't think they've done that . Like , even

50:46

Booster Juice is still in

50:48

the paper straws , which drives me up the wall

50:50

.

50:52

Got to get through your drink and hurry on those things . Yeah

50:54

, yeah .

50:56

Yeah , yeah , true story

50:58

. How's your nose ?

51:00

So that's what I need , that's the . Oh

51:02

my god , I just had it . It was disgusting , it

51:04

was just running out . It was different stuff

51:06

.

51:07

Well , you can thank Winnipeg

51:09

for that .

51:11

The Wuhan flu isn't

51:14

that what they call it ?

51:17

The Wuhan flu .

51:20

Well , have we ever ?

51:21

got concrete ? Have

51:23

we ever got concrete evidence that it was man-made

51:25

Like ? We all think it's man-made , right , but

51:28

have we ever actually got concrete evidence ?

51:29

No , no , and

51:32

I don't think it's important . I think it's the

51:34

planet telling us that we

51:37

need more paper stoppers

51:39

for our Starbucks , no

51:42

more green stoppers for you .

51:45

Back my green Starbucks stoppers .

51:47

No more stoppers , so

51:50

you feel like the uh .

51:51

I feel like you . I kind of I look .

51:55

You feel like COVID was a green peas project .

51:57

Is that what you think ?

51:58

But you know what I love ? The people

52:00

raging going , going to E&W

52:02

. All you want is a burger

52:05

and fries . No bag

52:07

, you can't have a bag no bag . Yeah , you just

52:10

toss all your ingredients People losing their shit

52:12

over it . That was the like breaking

52:14

point People

52:16

going through a drive-through and not getting a bag Like

52:19

, but that's a great way to find out if you actually

52:22

get all the food you paid for

52:24

.

52:26

Yeah , jeff , it's good in this hurry here , here's

52:29

your fries .

52:30

Here's your burger .

52:33

So I've got a story about that , so I was in um

52:35

.

52:36

Did you want ? You want some ketchup with that

52:38

.

52:38

Yeah , hold your bun out .

52:40

Yeah , the ketchup bottle in the window .

52:43

So I was in , I was in LA , I

52:45

was in Pasadena last May May

52:47

23 for the CrossFit

52:50

uh semi-finals , working on some

52:52

athletes there , and

52:54

I found and every time we go to California I

52:56

got to get sushi , because that's as close as I

52:58

get to the Pacific Ocean at any given time . So

53:00

I got to the sushi place and it was incredible

53:02

Like unreal Food

53:05

was amazing Gorge myself . It

53:07

was so good . I went back the next

53:09

night and I had different stuff from the sushi placement

53:12

Same place .

53:12

Mercury poisoning .

53:15

Might have been to that . So the third night

53:17

. I was like I just don't feel like sitting

53:20

down for dinner , so I'm going to get takeout . So

53:23

I went to the sushi place and got takeout . I heard

53:25

it Went in there , picked up my

53:27

bag , went home , went back to the hotel , watched

53:29

a movie and I opened up the sushi thing and

53:32

the portions are 30% lower

53:35

than what I got in when

53:37

I got in the restaurant . Yeah . So
