get into the Top three stories.
22
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.519
Of course, we got lost to
get into on this Friday, which also
23
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.840
includes of course the Piez. Last
night gets a general's file meeting of the
24
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.519
regular season, so we'll get into
that a little bit more as the show
25
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.439
goes on too. Uh, let's
kick off the Top three stories, which
26
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.439
includes thousands of people who need access
to primary carry. Peterborow are getting a
27
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.560
helping and for the province, according
to ANNOUNCEM yesterday. Yeah, there's a
28
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.120
press conference yesterday and it was announced
that our region is getting over three million
29
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.879
dollars in provincial funding to allow the
newly established Peterborough Community Health Center to help
30
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.039
eleven three hundred and seventy five people
connect to primary care. That's me,
31
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.400
that's my hair on, I'm in
excellent. There we go. That's some
32
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.919
great news. For the local area
and we'll see how that plays out over
33
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.240
the coming months. Of course,
February now underway, many people are looking
34
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.000
at the Valentine's date. That would
not be me. You are, did
35
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.879
I see you with your list?
You're making stuff you I'm not checking it
36
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.039
twice. You're a romantic guy.
Get out of here with that nonsense.
37
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.120
Scammers are also looking to fall in
love with you too, apparently. Yeah.
38
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.960
We heard from Sergeant John Armott from
the Canadian Anti Fraud Center and opp
39
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.479
and he says romance frauds are year
round, but they especially ramp up during
40
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.520
Valentine's Day. And he says roughly
ten percent of romance scams get reported to
41
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.039
the Canadian Anti Fraud Center and last
year so only ten percent. And last
42
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:05.039
year though, in fifty million dollars
was reported scammed from Canadians. Wow,
43
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.000
the romance scam. Yeah, and
that's one of the many many scams.
44
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.039
We're coming into tax time, so
of course we know that that's going to
45
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.560
be a bit of an issue as
well. So again everything you need to
46
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.919
know. Anti Fraud Center website is
a great resource, but you know,
47
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.039
make sure that those who are more
vulnerable are aware of what these scams are,
48
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.560
so they don't fall victim to them. No, exactly. Word of
49
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.919
mouth is the biggest part, is
the biggest way to attract a lot of
50
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.639
these scammers too. Yes, and
finally, some big news around the my
51
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:38.360
Broadcasting Corporation front that's where we work, our parent company, correct as you
52
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:45.120
and I single handedly have brought back
a huge home show in the area.
53
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.479
It's going to be a big one
and it happens every year at formerly the
54
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:54.479
Evan Root Center now the Healthy Planet
Arena and basically yeah, no, it'll
55
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.919
always be the SkyDome. So it's
yeah, the annual spring home show with
56
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.280
has been run by Metroland Media Group
for a number of years, but this
57
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.759
time around, obviously with everything that's
happened there, they weren't able to take
58
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.520
it on a little busy these days. Yeah, so, uh, my
59
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.040
Broadcasting Corporation, our parent company,
stepped in and they made a deal with
60
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.839
the city to take that. Yeah, no percent you especially you were a
61
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:26.040
big part of it. But this
is a huge event that's going to happen
62
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.920
April sixth and seventh, right the
Saturday and the Sunday. Yeah, so
63
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.480
any businesses who want to get involved
in that can reach out and get their
64
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.600
get their booth all set and reserved. This is a very popular home,
65
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.519
college and garden show in the area
too. By the way it is,
66
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.240
it's huge. It's a chance for
you to showcase your business and then it's
67
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.800
it's chance for people to just walk
around and see what you have to offer.
68
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.959
Yeah, great time of year as
well, April early April, just

77
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:26.680
find out about well, you know
Donald Fras there are many in the community
78
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.560
do But did you I didn't realize
he was as buff as he was.
79
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.959
He is huge. I didn't notice. Yeah, no, I didn't know.
80
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.879
I didn't. I didn't recognize.
I didn't. No, you definitely
81
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.399
noticed that. I saw you give
him the elevator when he came in.
82
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.360
Look at there's a couple where you
know they've got the nickname the Bod.
83
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.680
Right. We talked to Jack Beach
last night during the PiZZ game. Yes,
84
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.879
he's Jack the Bod. Yeah,
but now I'm gonna have to go
85
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.279
Donald the Bod too, because apparently
to do two thousand push ups to me
86
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:57.399
anyway, the lazy fat piece of
crap that I am, I I take
87
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.120
homage in that it would take you
a year, It would take me a
88
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.480
year just do one. Donald's doing
it and just a f I told you
89
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.879
and I do wrong every single time. My Jim teacher always told me my
90
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.319
ass was too for up in the
air. Get the ass down. No,
91
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.560
you love having your knees down only
when I'm begging for a race.
92
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.399
We'll take a time out. Doll
Fraser and his two thousand push up challenges
93
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:24.199
coming up next. This is PTVO
Today Live, Graham Scott and you never
94
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:30.040
know who else. This is the
PTBO Today Podcast. Friday edition of PTBO
95
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.120
Today Live. Make sure you check
out our website Ptbotday dot CAA a couple
96
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.399
of times over the course of the
day, and one of those things we
97
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:41.480
have on there is Peterborough Conversations where
Jordan Mercy will sit down and chat with
98
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.000
some local newsmakers, including Donald Fraser, who is taking part in a two
99
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.480
thousand push up challenge for the CMAHA. They had a chance to chat about
100
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.639
this particular challenge. Let's here with
that conversation, Jordan Mersey and Donald Fraser
101
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.839
two thousand push ups. There's a
two thousand push up challenge, Yeah,
102
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.279
to take place to February and Push
for Better two thousand push up challenge your
103
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.399
mental health associated and it's over the
course of I believe the first Favruar of
104
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.759
the twenty third. So have we
done the math on how many per day?
105
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.399
Well, and so they're being kind. You get Sundays off and I
106
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.560
don't know, I'm going to guess
there's two Sundays in there. So it's
107
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.759
it's working it to roughly one hundred
push ups a day. Wow. They
108
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.399
change it though, and so I
mean I'm in for a surprise because I've
109
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.439
never done this kind of thing before. But each day is a different number
110
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:30.480
in it the number that it is
is associated with a mental health stat oh
111
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:35.720
I seek So yeah, I mean
even the two thousand push ups is based
112
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:43.879
on the twenty percent of people in
Canada who identify as having struggled with mental
113
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.120
health. So what made you want
to get involved in this particular endeavor.
114
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.600
Well, I mean I've I've been
really open about the fact that my mental
115
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.560
health was I was struggling with my
mental health and this is something I've gone
116
00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:01.279
through my entire life. And but
you know, when you live through,
117
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.199
you know, a global pandemic and
the stresses that come along with it,
118
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.680
and the workplace stresses, you know, that was I learned a lot about
119
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.120
the fact that you know, you
can't just keep on keeping on and there's
120
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.759
a lot of people out there struggling
right now who who need help. And
121
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.560
so I was already on a on
a mission to get a better me,
122
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.800
and so I've been working at it
a lot. Anyways, man, I
123
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.439
saw this and I like, well, this is cool. Why did I
124
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.759
do this? Why didn't I just
lay off, you know, the gym
125
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:35.440
and weights and do upper body with
this and raise money for something that I
126
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.080
really really truly believe in and that
will help other people and the response has
127
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.799
been great. C MHA obviously an
organization that plays a vital role in the
128
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.000
community in many a different front.
Right, Yeah, and the money money
129
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:56.159
goes you can you can earmarket to
either the CMHA national, to CMHA Ontario
130
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:03.519
or to individual communities of Quorth Peterborough. I chose national the only reason.
131
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.720
And I'm a huge Peterborough guy,
don't get me wrong, but just looking
132
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.799
nationally at some of the issues and
issues in First Nations mental health and things,
133
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.080
you know. For me, it
was let them figure out where the
134
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.720
money is going to go, and
I'll just go and grunted it every day
135
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.080
with pushups. How does one begin
to prepare for two thousand push ups over
136
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.879
such a short period of time.
I'm out of breath already thinking about I
137
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:35.000
wish I knew. So I've been
going to the gym for a while and
138
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.159
literally yeah, and look at this
guy, so Jesse the body of Ventura
139
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.320
in here. Dude, I weigh
one hundred and forty pounds, so one
140
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.840
of the one. So here's here's
the deal. Though. One of the
141
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.639
joys of being like so, I'm
built like a bird. I've got like
142
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.279
the smallest bone structure in the world. So one of the things that's helping
143
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.120
me is the fact that I actually
weighs so little. I mean, I'm
144
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.879
I'm happy now that it's mostly muscle. I'm not, but I don't weigh
145
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.080
a lot. And so I think
push ups are probably a bit easier for
146
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.879
me than the average bear. But
you know, doing presses and flies and
147
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:15.120
stuff, I built up chest muscles
and try that muscles, and and every
148
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:16.480
once in a while I'll do push
ups. And so I mean, I
149
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.960
can do three sets of fifteen push
ups relatively easily, no big deal.
150
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.639
And so I said to myself,
well, if I do that twice and
151
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.919
then throw ten push ups in at
lunchtime, then I should be I should
152
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:37.919
be okay in theory. But no, I feel I feel pretty confident about
153
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.440
it. I just hope that they
don't like all of a sudden throw,
154
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.759
you know, two hundred and fifty
push ups at me one day. Yeah,
155
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.919
they got to make a crazy day
where it's like, well, I'm
156
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.360
not going to post abit it every
day online, but I mean for the
157
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.639
dated keep us updated. Many people
have. So far, they've donated one
158
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.399
thousand dollars to the cause and hopefully
can get more and more people to join
159
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.840
in as well. If you're out
there watching, we'll put a link in
160
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.480
the bottom of the videos to make
sure that you and people can sign up
161
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.360
themselves to right. I mean,
I don't need to be the only no
162
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:22.080
idiot who's good. I'm kidding,
but it's it's a challenge and what better
163
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.399
way you know to start another year
is to start focusing on you, on
164
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.120
your health and your mental health and
bring some plistenics into it. So there
165
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.159
you go. If you need more
details, they're all up on our website
166
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:41.480
at PTBO today dot c a the
DTBO Today podcast the stuff people are talking
167
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.320
about. Tell me you heard this
story before, Scott, go for it.
168
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.679
Pietz are tied with your opposition.
They're late in the third period,
169
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.919
they give a PA penalty and ultimately
a power play goal in loser game.
170
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.720
Yeah, that was less than four
minutes left to go. The game was
171
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.279
tied three three. Pets had the
fun two goals, they were down three
172
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.559
to one, tied it up three
to three. An amazing third period for
173
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.600
them, where they out shot Oshawa
nineteen to ten. I think they had
174
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.600
thirteen shots before maybe even fourteen before
Oshawa even had a single shot in the
175
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.840
period, they were all over the
Generals. The building was bumping, and
176
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.480
then a penalty that was very questionable. Yep, leads to a power play
177
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.480
goal and then an insurance marker and
an empty netter right after, and all
178
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.000
of a sudden, it's six'
three. So questionable that Rob Wilson was
179
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.639
yelling at anybody's going to listen,
including the lines person who didn't make the
180
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.720
call. But yeah, he had
some words for her too. Yeah,
181
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.039
I know he wanted to get somebody's
attention anytime there was a penalty. There
182
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.360
wasn't too many penalties last night.
You went anytime there was a penalty,
183
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.679
the Pets Jonathan Malee. I saw
him go over to referee Lewis at one
184
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.440
time and Lewis just puts his hand
up and kind of skates away. They
185
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.720
weren't explaining the calls. They were
basically saying, this is this is the
186
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.559
penalty and deal with it kind of
thing. Well, yeah, I don't
187
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.120
know how I feel about that.
Like it means times it's warranted, if
188
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.039
it's you know whatever, But I
mean sometimes you want an explanation. Why
189
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.039
would you make that call? Yeah, and if you can't defend or stand
190
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.240
up for your call, then why
did you make make it in the first
191
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.399
place. Just completely go over and
say, wow, this is what I
192
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.399
saw and this is the penalty.
And if the coach keeps arguing, then
193
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.639
you say, all right, I
already explained to you. Bye, but
194
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.159
that's something. But yeah, I
just I've seen that before and with always
195
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.600
old officials as well, where they
go over to have an explanation. Yeah,
196
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.840
the stand behind your call, which
again, as you said, if
197
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.840
you're that that questionable put your own
call, then why did you make it
198
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.600
in the first place. But that
being said, it was the Peats game
199
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.679
to lose, and they did,
unfortunately by a score of six to three.
200
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.000
That does not actually show how great, how exciting this hockey game was.
201
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.000
You had one goal hockey game after
the first period, You had a
202
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.559
one goal hockey game after second period. They did tie it up, but
203
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.960
again there was that goal in there, plus a couple of extras that once
204
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.240
that you know, fourth goal was
scoring and Austwa got ahead, it was
205
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.440
sort of like yo, every buck
was going in for those last three minutes.
206
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.080
Yeah, it was a great game, though very entertaining. Both goaltenders
207
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.960
making some big saves. Joe Cadoran
for the Pets, he got the opening
208
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.080
goal, not only his first OIL
goal, but his first OIL point,
209
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.600
So that was pretty cool. Nice
to see him get a milestone because I
210
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.720
think that was what his thirty second
game of the year or something like that.
211
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.120
He's, yeah, thirty second game. He was just coming back from
212
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.080
that suspension as well, so a
big moment for him, and a perfect
213
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.000
setup from Chase Lafae. If he
knew exactly what he was doing throwing that
214
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.919
puck down low, he knew was
either gonna go into the bottom corner or
215
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.919
that bender was gonna kick out his
right leg and give up a big rebound,
216
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.679
and that's what happened, and Cadoran
was right there with his stick on
217
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.720
the ice. So that was a
big moment for the youngster US Niger Ice
218
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.000
Dogs. Easier for me to say
Nike Ice Dogs tomorrow night here for of
219
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.159
course, pink of the Rate night. So it's gonna be a very busy
220
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.919
night. It's gonna be an emotional
night as well. But that being said,
221
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.759
Ice Dog's got a single point last
night. Now they're still, you
222
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.080
know, but six points back of
the Peets for moving up, so they're
223
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.679
certainly not moving into a playoff spot
eight time soon. But that being said,
224
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.200
you know, Niagara can find some
ways sometimes to have these little bite
225
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.399
bounces here and there, but they
did end up actually going into overtime with
226
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.960
the Wolves last night. Yeah,
every point is valuable. So even though
227
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.360
Niagara is six points back right now, we saw the Barry Colts catch the
228
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.840
Pets. They were six points back
then, there are four points back forever,
229
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.440
and now they're one point ahead of
the Pietz. So Niagara they could
230
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.159
still slide in there as well.
The Pet's on the outside right now,
231
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.440
sitting in ninth place, one point
out of that playoff spot. Lots of
232
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:35.240
hockey left still, but every point
is becoming important now. I keep an
233
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:41.000
eye as well, you know,
on how interesting these last couple months of
234
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.759
hockey is going to be for many
reasons. Of course, the trade deadliness
235
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.559
already been passed. But of course
we know the Pizza are in full rebuild
236
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.039
mode right now, and then you're
going to start getting towards the end of
237
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.559
the season. Playoffs are not playoffs. A lot of conversation is going to
238
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.039
start to heat up now over a
lot of these Triple A tournaments and who
239
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.720
the top prospects are going to be. So you're starting to look at,
240
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.440
you know, these top four or
five picks right now, they're going to
241
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.159
be made available come up at the
Ohl Draft in April one hundred percent.
242
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.440
So PETE scouts are definitely going to
be keeping an EXTRYE You're always busy,
243
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.879
you're always at the rinks if you're
a scout, but right now with the
244
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.639
pets potentially in that lotto pick,
they'll have four teams that don't make the
245
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.320
playoffs end up in that draft lottery
after to potentially grab the number one pick.
246
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.360
So they're going to be busy over
this last couple of months of the
247
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.519
season certainly are. And of course
don't forget the weekend wraps up Sunday afternoon
248
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:33.000
one o'clock game time in Kingston against
the Front and Necks as well of course
249
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.639
all the coverage right here on Freak
ninety point five and on the iHeartRadio app
250
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.360
the ddbodod Day Podcast. Now the
sounds of today, you need to get
251
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.799
a big voice, guy, or
we know we've got a girl. Sorry
252
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:49.759
my bad, take that back,
toy, Liz Boys Girl Survey six.
253
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:57.000
Oh yeah, survey says yes,
fifty four percent of those as pretty split
254
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:02.600
don't like to drive at night.
I was thinking about this, and I
255
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:07.559
actually last night I was watching on
my Facebook when of my friends was asking
256
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.920
somebody saying, is it better to
drive to Florida overnight or during the day,
257
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.839
And there's a whole thread of responses
people with mixed reviews, And I
258
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.039
thought to myself, well, I
don't drive at night at all. Great
259
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:22.519
question at all, because why it
takes like twenty two hours to drive to
260
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.119
Florida depends where you're going. Depends
where you're going. If you're just going
261
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:27.759
to the tip of Florida, it's
not that long. It's like if you're
262
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:32.599
going in eighteen hours. So you're
still dealing with Yeah, drive through the
263
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.720
night or drive through the day.
So you can either wake up at four
264
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.200
in the morning and get there at
eight or nine at night, or drive
265
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.599
through the night from five to ten. Right, So that's what they mean,
266
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.920
like drive through the night or drive
through the day. But you were
267
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.359
that's it. I wasn't ready for
it. That's so unlike you. But
268
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.759
I was thinking, I never drive
at night. I drive early in the
269
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.480
morning. We have three four in
the morning. So is that considered a
270
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.279
night It is to some people,
I guess, but I'm always uh yeah,
271
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.880
I guess driving home from the PiZZ
games, but I never really drove
272
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.440
it. And you're not going for
a leisurely drive. Yeah, I love
273
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.759
driving at night. You go on
a lot of trips. Yeah. So
274
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:10.720
do you usually wake up earlier?
Do you go at night? I usually
275
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.640
wake up early, so I like
to leave as early as humanly possible.
276
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.920
So let's go on. Just back
the last summer, for example, So
277
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.640
weird did that trip to the East
coast? Judy and I did PI in
278
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.079
Halifax, and I made a plan
that we were going to leave. Now,
279
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.240
first of all, it was crossing
the border on Canadaday, so therefore
280
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.319
I already knew that. You know
that Halifax and PI are in Canada,
281
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.960
right, I've heard that. Okay, that's only a rumor. Why were
282
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.920
you crossing the border because it's somewhere
different. So I'm going back to my
283
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.160
just wasn't I wasn't. Well,
actually got lost my younger years. Actually
284
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:47.839
my dad drove us same idea,
by the way, drove us from Oshawa
285
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:53.680
to Newfoundland and we went through this
route UH through the US, which took
286
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:59.920
us through New York, through the
Mountains of Vermont, through Maine and New
287
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.920
in New Hampshire in Maine, and
then back in through UH into New Brunswick.
288
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.119
So I decided that we were gonna
go to We're gonna stop in New
289
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.599
Brunswick for the night and then go
to PI the next day. That I
290
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.720
was going to do the same route. And but on the same side knowing,
291
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.759
Okay, it's gonna be Canaday,
so I don't want to leave at
292
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.920
like eight o'clock in the morning because
you know that the cross border shopping because
293
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.160
everything's closed here on Canaday. Everyone's
gonna be going across the boarder to go
294
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.200
shopping that's on Canada. I don't
know, I made that up. Okay,
295
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.240
it's possible, but you're just thinking, I'm anticipating it's gonna be a
296
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.519
show. So anyway, But on
the same side, though, I knew
297
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.119
I had to applied in that if
we left at a certain time, we'll
298
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.559
get there in time for dinner or
whenever the case may happen to be,
299
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.880
and we can make a couple of
stops along the way. So yeah,
300
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.240
we left it like what, well, we were supposed to leave at like
301
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:49.519
one o'clock in the morning. I
couldn't sleep, but it was supposed to
302
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.880
be napping. I couldn't sleep at
all. It was like my anticipation was
303
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.440
high. It was anxious and was
like, let's just go. So we
304
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.559
grab coffees, grab something to eat, and we were on the road and
305
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:02.599
basically drove all night. By time
I hit the border and got across and
306
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.319
started driving through much of northern New
York, it was like dawn and stuff
307
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:08.599
like that. And I liked it
because there was no traffic on the road,
308
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.880
didn't have to deal with any nonsense. It was a nice, quiet
309
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.359
drive. Yeah, that's what a
lot of people are saying. I've had
310
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.599
to come back from places late at
night, and it is pretty nice to
311
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.319
just cruise if you've I don't know, if you're at a hockey game or
312
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.000
somewhere. That's usually all my traveling. But coming back late at night and
313
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:26.960
two in the morning or something and
there's no traffic, that is nice.
314
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.440
But I don't know. I don't
know if i'd want to drive through the
315
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.880
entire night. I don't mind driving, so I like seeing the sights too.
316
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.200
A lot of times you can't see
at the dark. Like I used
317
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.400
to go to Lake Placid for hockey
tournaments all the time, I would drive
318
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.680
in the dark, and first three
times I was in the dark, and
319
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.480
then the fourth time in the daylight, and I was like, man,
320
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.359
I missed. I didn't even know
all this stuff existing. So when were
321
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:49.680
hitting at Lake Placid, for for
example, I think I sent to you
322
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.400
guys pictures that you didn't respond to, but it was like, you know,
323
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:55.799
maybe they must not have got them
nine or ten o'clock in the morning,
324
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.440
right, So it was nice time. And again we're driving from some
325
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:00.799
of these back roads. The problem
we dealt with. Then here's the flip
326
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.279
side. And by the time we
got into a part of New Hampshire where
327
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:10.039
we're gonna stop for lunch in uh
I camera where it was exactly Hampshire,
328
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:15.839
Sorry it was New Hampshire. It
was busy, Like the traffic was just
329
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.160
and it was like around mid afternoon, so everyone's out doing their running around
330
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.839
or they're traveling. You're not that
far away from the Massachusetts border, so
331
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.640
it was just we're sitting in traffic
trying to get back on the interstate that
332
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.519
we had to get on to get
towards Maine. So that was again,
333
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.200
this is the part of the reason
why I tried to plan these trips there
334
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.240
so that I'm not dealing with all
those traffic nightmares. So it was your
335
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.519
choice, would you drive through the
night or wake up early and through the
336
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.119
night, through the night or a
night guy. Yeah, I like to
337
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.839
wake I was delivering pizza is one
of the best things. I liked it
338
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.759
after night, you know, nine
ten o'clock if you was working later in
339
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:52.440
the night. Was especially in the
summertime. I had a sunroof of my
340
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.519
old car, had the sun roof
open, had the windows down, and
341
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:57.920
it's you know, you're driving up
Water Street and there's like nobody around and
342
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.640
you could just like chill. Loved
it, big TI, I love it.
343
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.559
I ain't just picture you with the
uh it was it a roof off
344
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.839
or just the sun roof just a
sunroof O. Wow, still pretty cool.
345
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.839
Yeah, it's uh. I enjoy
the fact that there's not I don't
346
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.920
have to do with all the traffic
nightmares that you get on Landsdowne or on
347
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.119
Shamong Road. That you can get
from point A to point B and not
348
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.240
deal with all the idiots. Yeah, and the rest of the people were
349
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:26.119
happy they didn't have to deal with
you. Bedbo Today podcast running down the
350
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.200
stuff you need to know. Well, we know that polar Fest is taking
351
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.599
places. We I'm gonna check it
out tomorrow. Take my daughter up there,
352
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:34.160
look at some of the ice sculptures
in Bridge North and some of the
353
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:38.039
other events taking place. I am
not going anywhere near Schemong Lake on Sunday
354
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.920
afternoon for the polar plunge. Have
you ever done that? Never done it?
355
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:42.920
No? No, you neither.
No, I don't think I have.
356
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.640
No. I well, I haven't
done the official Pollar plunge, but
357
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.279
I've been. I've been in a
lake in the middle of winter one time.
358
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.799
That was about It wasn't for charity. It was to pay off the
359
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.119
phone bill. We all split our
phone bill and everyone dared me and they're
360
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:57.240
like, ah, you don't have
to pay your half of the phone bill
361
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.400
this month if you jump in the
lake. It was Lake Simcoe in Aurelia.
362
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.759
So yeah, it wasn't for a
good cause. It was just to
363
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:06.519
save me a few bucks on the
phone bill. That work, good for
364
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.000
you. It was cold, yeah, it was like December nineteenth or something.
365
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.359
But is that you did you have
like the whole Leo Little car Leo
366
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:18.680
DiCaprio. Why are that cold?
I tried to act like it wasn't,
367
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:21.440
but it was. It was really
cold. I went back inside very quick.
368
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.319
Everybody's come over and say I'm involved. Now I'd like to go away,
369
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:27.240
but now I have involved. But
there are men of the words.
370
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.079
They paid my half of the phone
bill, which was only like fifteen bucks
371
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.000
at the time, but that was
a couple of drinks for me that night.
372
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.039
That's what helps them make sure that
you didn't die of hypothermia. But
373
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:42.400
Betty Holman Plumbly is going to take
her first ever dive. Yes, I
374
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:45.720
don't know how cold it gets in
there. I don't know what the temperature
375
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.079
of that water is, but they
have to chop like a block like it's
376
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.480
ice otherwise and they cut a big
hole out of there. So yeah,
377
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.640
she's going in for her very first
time. She's the current president of the
378
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.480
Rotary Club of Peterborough and this is
gonna be the forty fourth annual, so
379
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:02.079
it's a it'll be a big moment
for I think she's got the Barbie theme
380
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.319
going from what I've understood. Her
costume is going to be Barbie theme in
381
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.680
there, so I'm guessing all the
pink. But that's one of the fun
382
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.880
parts by watching the Polar Plunge too, is everyone gets dressed up and for
383
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.160
a lot of people it's their first
jump. A lot of people are returning
384
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:15.920
as well, so it's a good
mix like that, but all for a
385
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:19.319
good cause. But there's always some
great pictures from that event. If you
386
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.440
don't go out there live, people
post out a lot of pictures. But
387
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:25.480
if you do get a chance to
check it out, it's pretty fun.
388
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.319
Yeah it make sure you get some
time. If you get a chance to
389
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.359
over the weekend, make sure check
out polar Fest in itself. It's always
390
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.799
a great event every year. And
of course the Polar Plunge, which takes
391
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.880
place on Sunday afternoon, usually Super
Bowl Sunday, So that's that's my excuse
392
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:40.359
why I can't usually make it out. Does it usually fall on that same
393
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.480
day, Yeah, that's super cool
Sunday, so, but because the schedule
394
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:47.400
has changed for the NFL this year, that's why things a little bit different.
395
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.279
But that makes you go check it
out if you have the opportunity.
396
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.599
Should be a lot of fun on
Shamang Lake on Sunday afternoon. Coming up
397
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.799
on Monday, Monday's edition of the
Show. Of Course, Chris Pronger was
398
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.759
an town yesterday. Yeah, you
had a chance to catch up with him
399
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:07.480
and get some comments regards to his
time not only as a NHLer but also
400
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.720
well as a member of the peter
Or Peats. One of the best Peterborough
401
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.200
Peats to ever play Graham. I
can remember watching him as a kid and
402
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:21.839
he was Brent Tully's defense partner.
But arguably the best team ever assembled for
403
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.720
Peterborough Peats, that ninety two to
ninety three squad. They didn't win the
404
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.119
Memorial Cup, they won the Ohl
Championship, but all year they're ranked as
405
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:32.559
one of the top teams in Canada. And such a nice guy, Chris
406
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.039
Pronger. Finally, night off tonight
for the Petez back out of tomorrow it
407
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:41.920
is and yeah, I got my
T shirt. I picked them up yesterday.

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.640
It's black. Oh, there's the
ping. It's fantastic. Course the

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.359

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.200
My mom, my grandmother's on there. So they'll be on the Slide show
411
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.559

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.359

19
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.400
I think I know Eternal Winner.
That's what's gonna happen. What Phil Cutters,
20
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.760
Yeah, well I'm watching that later
after that. Yeah, for sure,
21
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.560
that's on the playlist today. Let's
get into the Top three stories.
22
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.519
Of course, we got lost to
get into on this Friday, which also
23
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.840
includes of course the Piez. Last
night gets a general's file meeting of the
24
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.519
regular season, so we'll get into
that a little bit more as the show
25
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.439
goes on too. Uh, let's
kick off the Top three stories, which
26
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.439
includes thousands of people who need access
to primary carry. Peterborow are getting a
27
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.560
helping and for the province, according
to ANNOUNCEM yesterday. Yeah, there's a
28
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.120
press conference yesterday and it was announced
that our region is getting over three million
29
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.879
dollars in provincial funding to allow the
newly established Peterborough Community Health Center to help
30
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.039
eleven three hundred and seventy five people
connect to primary care. That's me,
31
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.400
that's my hair on, I'm in
excellent. There we go. That's some
32
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.919
great news. For the local area
and we'll see how that plays out over
33
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.240
the coming months. Of course,
February now underway, many people are looking
34
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.000
at the Valentine's date. That would
not be me. You are, did
35
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.879
I see you with your list?
You're making stuff you I'm not checking it
36
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.039
twice. You're a romantic guy.
Get out of here with that nonsense.
37
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.120
Scammers are also looking to fall in
love with you too, apparently. Yeah.
38
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.960
We heard from Sergeant John Armott from
the Canadian Anti Fraud Center and opp
39
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.479
and he says romance frauds are year
round, but they especially ramp up during
40
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.520
Valentine's Day. And he says roughly
ten percent of romance scams get reported to
41
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.039
the Canadian Anti Fraud Center and last
year so only ten percent. And last
42
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:05.039
year though, in fifty million dollars
was reported scammed from Canadians. Wow,
43
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.000
the romance scam. Yeah, and
that's one of the many many scams.
44
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.039
We're coming into tax time, so
of course we know that that's going to
45
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.560
be a bit of an issue as
well. So again everything you need to
46
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.919
know. Anti Fraud Center website is
a great resource, but you know,
47
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.039
make sure that those who are more
vulnerable are aware of what these scams are,
48
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.560
so they don't fall victim to them. No, exactly. Word of
49
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.919
mouth is the biggest part, is
the biggest way to attract a lot of
50
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.639
these scammers too. Yes, and
finally, some big news around the my
51
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:38.360
Broadcasting Corporation front that's where we work, our parent company, correct as you
52
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:45.120
and I single handedly have brought back
a huge home show in the area.
53
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.479
It's going to be a big one
and it happens every year at formerly the
54
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:54.479
Evan Root Center now the Healthy Planet
Arena and basically yeah, no, it'll
55
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.919
always be the SkyDome. So it's
yeah, the annual spring home show with
56
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.280
has been run by Metroland Media Group
for a number of years, but this
57
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.759
time around, obviously with everything that's
happened there, they weren't able to take
58
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.520
it on a little busy these days. Yeah, so, uh, my
59
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.040
Broadcasting Corporation, our parent company,
stepped in and they made a deal with
60
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.839
the city to take that. Yeah, no percent you especially you were a
61
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:26.040
big part of it. But this
is a huge event that's going to happen
62
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.920
April sixth and seventh, right the
Saturday and the Sunday. Yeah, so
63
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.480
any businesses who want to get involved
in that can reach out and get their
64
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.600
get their booth all set and reserved. This is a very popular home,
65
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.519
college and garden show in the area
too. By the way it is,
66
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.240
it's huge. It's a chance for
you to showcase your business and then it's
67
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.800
it's chance for people to just walk
around and see what you have to offer.
68
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.959
Yeah, great time of year as
well, April early April, just
69
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.240
before you go out and start to
opening up those colleges and start thinking about
70
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.199

home over the coming year. Yeah.

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.079
Those are top three stories that we're
following today. Coming up, we're gonna
77
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:26.680
find out about well, you know
Donald Fras there are many in the community
78
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.560
do But did you I didn't realize
he was as buff as he was.
79
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.959
He is huge. I didn't notice. Yeah, no, I didn't know.
80
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.879
I didn't. I didn't recognize.
I didn't. No, you definitely
81
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.399
noticed that. I saw you give
him the elevator when he came in.
82
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.360
Look at there's a couple where you
know they've got the nickname the Bod.
83
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.680
Right. We talked to Jack Beach
last night during the PiZZ game. Yes,
84
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.879
he's Jack the Bod. Yeah,
but now I'm gonna have to go
85
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.279
Donald the Bod too, because apparently
to do two thousand push ups to me
86
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:57.399
anyway, the lazy fat piece of
crap that I am, I I take
87
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.120
homage in that it would take you
a year, It would take me a
88
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.480
year just do one. Donald's doing
it and just a f I told you
89
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.879
and I do wrong every single time. My Jim teacher always told me my
90
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.319
ass was too for up in the
air. Get the ass down. No,
91
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.560
you love having your knees down only
when I'm begging for a race.
92
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.399
We'll take a time out. Doll
Fraser and his two thousand push up challenges
93
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:24.199
coming up next. This is PTVO
Today Live, Graham Scott and you never
94
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:30.040
know who else. This is the
PTBO Today Podcast. Friday edition of PTBO
95
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.120
Today Live. Make sure you check
out our website Ptbotday dot CAA a couple
96
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.399
of times over the course of the
day, and one of those things we
97
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:41.480
have on there is Peterborough Conversations where
Jordan Mercy will sit down and chat with
98
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.000
some local newsmakers, including Donald Fraser, who is taking part in a two
99
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.480
thousand push up challenge for the CMAHA. They had a chance to chat about
100
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.639
this particular challenge. Let's here with
that conversation, Jordan Mersey and Donald Fraser
101
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.839
two thousand push ups. There's a
two thousand push up challenge, Yeah,
102
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.279
to take place to February and Push
for Better two thousand push up challenge your
103
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.399
mental health associated and it's over the
course of I believe the first Favruar of
104
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.759
the twenty third. So have we
done the math on how many per day?
105
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.399
Well, and so they're being kind. You get Sundays off and I
106
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.560
don't know, I'm going to guess
there's two Sundays in there. So it's
107
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.759
it's working it to roughly one hundred
push ups a day. Wow. They
108
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.399
change it though, and so I
mean I'm in for a surprise because I've
109
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.439
never done this kind of thing before. But each day is a different number
110
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:30.480
in it the number that it is
is associated with a mental health stat oh
111
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:35.720
I seek So yeah, I mean
even the two thousand push ups is based
112
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:43.879
on the twenty percent of people in
Canada who identify as having struggled with mental
113
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.120
health. So what made you want
to get involved in this particular endeavor.
114
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.600
Well, I mean I've I've been
really open about the fact that my mental
115
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.560
health was I was struggling with my
mental health and this is something I've gone
116
00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:01.279
through my entire life. And but
you know, when you live through,
117
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.199
you know, a global pandemic and
the stresses that come along with it,
118
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.680
and the workplace stresses, you know, that was I learned a lot about
119
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.120
the fact that you know, you
can't just keep on keeping on and there's
120
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.759
a lot of people out there struggling
right now who who need help. And
121
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.560
so I was already on a on
a mission to get a better me,
122
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.800
and so I've been working at it
a lot. Anyways, man, I
123
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.439
saw this and I like, well, this is cool. Why did I
124
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.759
do this? Why didn't I just
lay off, you know, the gym
125
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:35.440
and weights and do upper body with
this and raise money for something that I
126
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.080
really really truly believe in and that
will help other people and the response has
127
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.799
been great. C MHA obviously an
organization that plays a vital role in the
128
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.000
community in many a different front.
Right, Yeah, and the money money
129
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:56.159
goes you can you can earmarket to
either the CMHA national, to CMHA Ontario
130
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:03.519
or to individual communities of Quorth Peterborough. I chose national the only reason.
131
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.720
And I'm a huge Peterborough guy,
don't get me wrong, but just looking
132
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.799
nationally at some of the issues and
issues in First Nations mental health and things,
133
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.080
you know. For me, it
was let them figure out where the
134
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.720
money is going to go, and
I'll just go and grunted it every day
135
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.080
with pushups. How does one begin
to prepare for two thousand push ups over
136
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.879
such a short period of time.
I'm out of breath already thinking about I
137
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:35.000
wish I knew. So I've been
going to the gym for a while and
138
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.159
literally yeah, and look at this
guy, so Jesse the body of Ventura
139
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.320
in here. Dude, I weigh
one hundred and forty pounds, so one
140
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.840
of the one. So here's here's
the deal. Though. One of the
141
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.639
joys of being like so, I'm
built like a bird. I've got like
142
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.279
the smallest bone structure in the world. So one of the things that's helping
143
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.120
me is the fact that I actually
weighs so little. I mean, I'm
144
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.879
I'm happy now that it's mostly muscle. I'm not, but I don't weigh
145
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.080
a lot. And so I think
push ups are probably a bit easier for
146
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.879
me than the average bear. But
you know, doing presses and flies and
147
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:15.120
stuff, I built up chest muscles
and try that muscles, and and every
148
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:16.480
once in a while I'll do push
ups. And so I mean, I
149
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.960
can do three sets of fifteen push
ups relatively easily, no big deal.
150
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.639
And so I said to myself,
well, if I do that twice and
151
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.919
then throw ten push ups in at
lunchtime, then I should be I should
152
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:37.919
be okay in theory. But no, I feel I feel pretty confident about
153
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.440
it. I just hope that they
don't like all of a sudden throw,
154
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.759
you know, two hundred and fifty
push ups at me one day. Yeah,
155
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.919
they got to make a crazy day
where it's like, well, I'm
156
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.360
not going to post abit it every
day online, but I mean for the
157
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.639
dated keep us updated. Many people
have. So far, they've donated one
158
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.399
thousand dollars to the cause and hopefully
can get more and more people to join
159
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.840
in as well. If you're out
there watching, we'll put a link in
160
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.480
the bottom of the videos to make
sure that you and people can sign up
161
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.360
themselves to right. I mean,
I don't need to be the only no
162
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:22.080
idiot who's good. I'm kidding,
but it's it's a challenge and what better
163
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.399
way you know to start another year
is to start focusing on you, on
164
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.120
your health and your mental health and
bring some plistenics into it. So there
165
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.159
you go. If you need more
details, they're all up on our website

story before, Scott, go for it.
168
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.679
Pietz are tied with your opposition.
They're late in the third period,
169
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.919
they give a PA penalty and ultimately
a power play goal in loser game.
170
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.720
Yeah, that was less than four
minutes left to go. The game was
171
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.279
tied three three. Pets had the
fun two goals, they were down three
172
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.559
to one, tied it up three
to three. An amazing third period for
173
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.600
them, where they out shot Oshawa
nineteen to ten. I think they had
174
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.600
thirteen shots before maybe even fourteen before
Oshawa even had a single shot in the
175
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.840
period, they were all over the
Generals. The building was bumping, and
176
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.480
then a penalty that was very questionable. Yep, leads to a power play
177
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.480
goal and then an insurance marker and
an empty netter right after, and all
178
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.000
of a sudden, it's six'
three. So questionable that Rob Wilson was
179
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.639
yelling at anybody's going to listen,
including the lines person who didn't make the
180
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.720
call. But yeah, he had
some words for her too. Yeah,
181
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.039
I know he wanted to get somebody's
attention anytime there was a penalty. There
182
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.360
wasn't too many penalties last night.
You went anytime there was a penalty,
183
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.679
the Pets Jonathan Malee. I saw
him go over to referee Lewis at one
184
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.440
time and Lewis just puts his hand
up and kind of skates away. They
185
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.720
weren't explaining the calls. They were
basically saying, this is this is the
186
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.559
penalty and deal with it kind of
thing. Well, yeah, I don't
187
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.120
know how I feel about that.
Like it means times it's warranted, if
188
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.039
it's you know whatever, But I
mean sometimes you want an explanation. Why
189
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.039
would you make that call? Yeah, and if you can't defend or stand
190
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.240
up for your call, then why
did you make make it in the first
191
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.399
place. Just completely go over and
say, wow, this is what I
192
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.399
saw and this is the penalty.
And if the coach keeps arguing, then
193
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.639
you say, all right, I
already explained to you. Bye, but
194
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.159
that's something. But yeah, I
just I've seen that before and with always
195
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.600
old officials as well, where they
go over to have an explanation. Yeah,
196
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.840
the stand behind your call, which
again, as you said, if
197
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.840
you're that that questionable put your own
call, then why did you make it
198
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.600
in the first place. But that
being said, it was the Peats game
199
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.679
to lose, and they did,
unfortunately by a score of six to three.
200
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.000
That does not actually show how great, how exciting this hockey game was.
201
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.000
You had one goal hockey game after
the first period, You had a
202
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.559
one goal hockey game after second period. They did tie it up, but
203
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.960
again there was that goal in there, plus a couple of extras that once
204
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.240
that you know, fourth goal was
scoring and Austwa got ahead, it was
205
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.440
sort of like yo, every buck
was going in for those last three minutes.
206
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.080
Yeah, it was a great game, though very entertaining. Both goaltenders
207
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.960
making some big saves. Joe Cadoran
for the Pets, he got the opening
208
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.080
goal, not only his first OIL
goal, but his first OIL point,
209
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.600
So that was pretty cool. Nice
to see him get a milestone because I
210
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.720
think that was what his thirty second
game of the year or something like that.
211
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.120
He's, yeah, thirty second game. He was just coming back from
212
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.080
that suspension as well, so a
big moment for him, and a perfect
213
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.000
setup from Chase Lafae. If he
knew exactly what he was doing throwing that
214
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.919
puck down low, he knew was
either gonna go into the bottom corner or
215
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.919
that bender was gonna kick out his
right leg and give up a big rebound,
216
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.679
and that's what happened, and Cadoran
was right there with his stick on
217
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.720
the ice. So that was a
big moment for the youngster US Niger Ice
218
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.000
Dogs. Easier for me to say
Nike Ice Dogs tomorrow night here for of
219
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.159
course, pink of the Rate night. So it's gonna be a very busy
220
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.919
night. It's gonna be an emotional
night as well. But that being said,
221
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.759
Ice Dog's got a single point last
night. Now they're still, you
222
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.080
know, but six points back of
the Peets for moving up, so they're
223
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.679
certainly not moving into a playoff spot
eight time soon. But that being said,
224
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.200
you know, Niagara can find some
ways sometimes to have these little bite
225
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.399
bounces here and there, but they
did end up actually going into overtime with
226
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.960
the Wolves last night. Yeah,
every point is valuable. So even though
227
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.360
Niagara is six points back right now, we saw the Barry Colts catch the
228
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.840
Pets. They were six points back
then, there are four points back forever,
229
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.440
and now they're one point ahead of
the Pietz. So Niagara they could
230
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.159
still slide in there as well.
The Pet's on the outside right now,
231
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.440
sitting in ninth place, one point
out of that playoff spot. Lots of
232
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:35.240
hockey left still, but every point
is becoming important now. I keep an
233
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:41.000
eye as well, you know,
on how interesting these last couple months of
234
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.759
hockey is going to be for many
reasons. Of course, the trade deadliness
235
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.559
already been passed. But of course
we know the Pizza are in full rebuild
236
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.039
mode right now, and then you're
going to start getting towards the end of
237
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.559
the season. Playoffs are not playoffs. A lot of conversation is going to
238
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.039
start to heat up now over a
lot of these Triple A tournaments and who
239
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.720
the top prospects are going to be. So you're starting to look at,
240
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.440
you know, these top four or
five picks right now, they're going to
241
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.159
be made available come up at the
Ohl Draft in April one hundred percent.
242
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.440
So PETE scouts are definitely going to
be keeping an EXTRYE You're always busy,
243
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.879
you're always at the rinks if you're
a scout, but right now with the
244
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.639
pets potentially in that lotto pick,
they'll have four teams that don't make the
245
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.320
playoffs end up in that draft lottery
after to potentially grab the number one pick.
246
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.360
So they're going to be busy over
this last couple of months of the
247
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.519
season certainly are. And of course
don't forget the weekend wraps up Sunday afternoon
248
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:33.000
one o'clock game time in Kingston against
the Front and Necks as well of course
249
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.639
all the coverage right here on Freak
ninety point five and on the iHeartRadio app
250
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.360
the ddbodod Day Podcast. Now the
sounds of today, you need to get
251
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.799
a big voice, guy, or
we know we've got a girl. Sorry
252
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:49.759
my bad, take that back,
toy, Liz Boys Girl Survey six.
253
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:57.000
Oh yeah, survey says yes,
fifty four percent of those as pretty split
254
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:02.600
don't like to drive at night.
I was thinking about this, and I
255
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:07.559
actually last night I was watching on
my Facebook when of my friends was asking
256
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.920
somebody saying, is it better to
drive to Florida overnight or during the day,
257
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.839
And there's a whole thread of responses
people with mixed reviews, And I
258
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.039
thought to myself, well, I
don't drive at night at all. Great
259
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:22.519
question at all, because why it
takes like twenty two hours to drive to
260
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.119
Florida depends where you're going. Depends
where you're going. If you're just going
261
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:27.759
to the tip of Florida, it's
not that long. It's like if you're
262
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:32.599
going in eighteen hours. So you're
still dealing with Yeah, drive through the
263
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.720
night or drive through the day.
So you can either wake up at four
264
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.200
in the morning and get there at
eight or nine at night, or drive
265
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.599
through the night from five to ten. Right, So that's what they mean,
266
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.920
like drive through the night or drive
through the day. But you were
267
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.359
that's it. I wasn't ready for
it. That's so unlike you. But
268
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.759
I was thinking, I never drive
at night. I drive early in the
269
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.480
morning. We have three four in
the morning. So is that considered a
270
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.279
night It is to some people,
I guess, but I'm always uh yeah,
271
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.880
I guess driving home from the PiZZ
games, but I never really drove
272
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.440
it. And you're not going for
a leisurely drive. Yeah, I love
273
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.759
driving at night. You go on
a lot of trips. Yeah. So
274
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:10.720
do you usually wake up earlier?
Do you go at night? I usually
275
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.640
wake up early, so I like
to leave as early as humanly possible.
276
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.920
So let's go on. Just back
the last summer, for example, So
277
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.640
weird did that trip to the East
coast? Judy and I did PI in
278
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.079
Halifax, and I made a plan
that we were going to leave. Now,
279
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.240
first of all, it was crossing
the border on Canadaday, so therefore
280
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.319
I already knew that. You know
that Halifax and PI are in Canada,
281
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.960
right, I've heard that. Okay, that's only a rumor. Why were
282
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.920
you crossing the border because it's somewhere
different. So I'm going back to my
283
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.160
just wasn't I wasn't. Well,
actually got lost my younger years. Actually
284
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:47.839
my dad drove us same idea,
by the way, drove us from Oshawa
285
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:53.680
to Newfoundland and we went through this
route UH through the US, which took
286
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:59.920
us through New York, through the
Mountains of Vermont, through Maine and New
287
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.920
in New Hampshire in Maine, and
then back in through UH into New Brunswick.
288
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.119
So I decided that we were gonna
go to We're gonna stop in New
289
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.599
Brunswick for the night and then go
to PI the next day. That I
290
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.720
was going to do the same route. And but on the same side knowing,
291
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.759
Okay, it's gonna be Canaday,
so I don't want to leave at
292
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.920
like eight o'clock in the morning because
you know that the cross border shopping because
293
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.160
everything's closed here on Canaday. Everyone's
gonna be going across the boarder to go
294
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.200
shopping that's on Canada. I don't
know, I made that up. Okay,
295
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.240
it's possible, but you're just thinking, I'm anticipating it's gonna be a
296
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.519
show. So anyway, But on
the same side, though, I knew
297
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.119
I had to applied in that if
we left at a certain time, we'll
298
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.559
get there in time for dinner or
whenever the case may happen to be,
299
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.880
and we can make a couple of
stops along the way. So yeah,
300
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.240
we left it like what, well, we were supposed to leave at like
301
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:49.519
one o'clock in the morning. I
couldn't sleep, but it was supposed to
302
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.880
be napping. I couldn't sleep at
all. It was like my anticipation was
303
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.440
high. It was anxious and was
like, let's just go. So we
304
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.559
grab coffees, grab something to eat, and we were on the road and
305
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:02.599
basically drove all night. By time
I hit the border and got across and
306
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.319
started driving through much of northern New
York, it was like dawn and stuff
307
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:08.599
like that. And I liked it
because there was no traffic on the road,
308
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.880
didn't have to deal with any nonsense. It was a nice, quiet
309
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.359
drive. Yeah, that's what a
lot of people are saying. I've had
310
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.599
to come back from places late at
night, and it is pretty nice to
311
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.319
just cruise if you've I don't know, if you're at a hockey game or
312
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.000
somewhere. That's usually all my traveling. But coming back late at night and
313
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:26.960
two in the morning or something and
there's no traffic, that is nice.
314
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.440
But I don't know. I don't
know if i'd want to drive through the
315
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.880
entire night. I don't mind driving, so I like seeing the sights too.
316
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.200
A lot of times you can't see
at the dark. Like I used
317
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.400
to go to Lake Placid for hockey
tournaments all the time, I would drive
318
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.680
in the dark, and first three
times I was in the dark, and
319
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.480
then the fourth time in the daylight, and I was like, man,
320
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.359
I missed. I didn't even know
all this stuff existing. So when were
321
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:49.680
hitting at Lake Placid, for for
example, I think I sent to you
322
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.400
guys pictures that you didn't respond to, but it was like, you know,
323
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:55.799
maybe they must not have got them
nine or ten o'clock in the morning,
324
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.440
right, So it was nice time. And again we're driving from some
325
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:00.799
of these back roads. The problem
we dealt with. Then here's the flip
326
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.279
side. And by the time we
got into a part of New Hampshire where
327
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:10.039
we're gonna stop for lunch in uh
I camera where it was exactly Hampshire,
328
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:15.839
Sorry it was New Hampshire. It
was busy, Like the traffic was just
329
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.160
and it was like around mid afternoon, so everyone's out doing their running around
330
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.839
or they're traveling. You're not that
far away from the Massachusetts border, so
331
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.640
it was just we're sitting in traffic
trying to get back on the interstate that
332
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.519
we had to get on to get
towards Maine. So that was again,
333
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.200
this is the part of the reason
why I tried to plan these trips there
334
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.240
so that I'm not dealing with all
those traffic nightmares. So it was your
335
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.519
choice, would you drive through the
night or wake up early and through the
336
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.119
night, through the night or a
night guy. Yeah, I like to
337
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.839
wake I was delivering pizza is one
of the best things. I liked it
338
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.759
after night, you know, nine
ten o'clock if you was working later in
339
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:52.440
the night. Was especially in the
summertime. I had a sunroof of my
340
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.519
old car, had the sun roof
open, had the windows down, and
341
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:57.920
it's you know, you're driving up
Water Street and there's like nobody around and
342
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.640
you could just like chill. Loved
it, big TI, I love it.
343
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.559
I ain't just picture you with the
uh it was it a roof off
344
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.839
or just the sun roof just a
sunroof O. Wow, still pretty cool.
345
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.839
Yeah, it's uh. I enjoy
the fact that there's not I don't
346
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.920
have to do with all the traffic
nightmares that you get on Landsdowne or on
347
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.119
Shamong Road. That you can get
from point A to point B and not
348
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.240
deal with all the idiots. Yeah, and the rest of the people were
349
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:26.119
happy they didn't have to deal with
you. Bedbo Today podcast running down the
350
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.200
stuff you need to know. Well, we know that polar Fest is taking
351
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.599
places. We I'm gonna check it
out tomorrow. Take my daughter up there,
352
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:34.160
look at some of the ice sculptures
in Bridge North and some of the
353
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:38.039
other events taking place. I am
not going anywhere near Schemong Lake on Sunday
354
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.920
afternoon for the polar plunge. Have
you ever done that? Never done it?
355
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:42.920
No? No, you neither.
No, I don't think I have.
356
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.640
No. I well, I haven't
done the official Pollar plunge, but
357
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.279
I've been. I've been in a
lake in the middle of winter one time.
358
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.799
That was about It wasn't for charity. It was to pay off the
359
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.119
phone bill. We all split our
phone bill and everyone dared me and they're
360
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:57.240
like, ah, you don't have
to pay your half of the phone bill
361
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.400
this month if you jump in the
lake. It was Lake Simcoe in Aurelia.
362
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.759
So yeah, it wasn't for a
good cause. It was just to
363
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:06.519
save me a few bucks on the
phone bill. That work, good for
364
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.000
you. It was cold, yeah, it was like December nineteenth or something.
365
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.359
But is that you did you have
like the whole Leo Little car Leo
366
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:18.680
DiCaprio. Why are that cold?
I tried to act like it wasn't,
367
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:21.440
but it was. It was really
cold. I went back inside very quick.
368
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.319
Everybody's come over and say I'm involved. Now I'd like to go away,
369
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:27.240
but now I have involved. But
there are men of the words.
370
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.079
They paid my half of the phone
bill, which was only like fifteen bucks
371
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.000
at the time, but that was
a couple of drinks for me that night.
372
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.039
That's what helps them make sure that
you didn't die of hypothermia. But
373
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:42.400
Betty Holman Plumbly is going to take
her first ever dive. Yes, I
374
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:45.720
don't know how cold it gets in
there. I don't know what the temperature
375
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.079
of that water is, but they
have to chop like a block like it's
376
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.480
ice otherwise and they cut a big
hole out of there. So yeah,
377
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.640
she's going in for her very first
time. She's the current president of the
378
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.480
Rotary Club of Peterborough and this is
gonna be the forty fourth annual, so
379
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:02.079
it's a it'll be a big moment
for I think she's got the Barbie theme
380
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.319
going from what I've understood. Her
costume is going to be Barbie theme in
381
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.680
there, so I'm guessing all the
pink. But that's one of the fun
382
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.880
parts by watching the Polar Plunge too, is everyone gets dressed up and for
383
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.160
a lot of people it's their first
jump. A lot of people are returning
384
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:15.920
as well, so it's a good
mix like that, but all for a
385
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:19.319
good cause. But there's always some
great pictures from that event. If you
386
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.440
don't go out there live, people
post out a lot of pictures. But
387
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:25.480
if you do get a chance to
check it out, it's pretty fun.
388
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.319
Yeah it make sure you get some
time. If you get a chance to
389
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.359
over the weekend, make sure check
out polar Fest in itself. It's always
390
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.799
a great event every year. And
of course the Polar Plunge, which takes
391
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.880
place on Sunday afternoon, usually Super
Bowl Sunday, So that's that's my excuse
392
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:40.359
why I can't usually make it out. Does it usually fall on that same
393
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.480
day, Yeah, that's super cool
Sunday, so, but because the schedule
394
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:47.400
has changed for the NFL this year, that's why things a little bit different.
395
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.279
But that makes you go check it
out if you have the opportunity.
396
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.599
Should be a lot of fun on
Shamang Lake on Sunday afternoon. Coming up
397
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.799
on Monday, Monday's edition of the
Show. Of Course, Chris Pronger was
398
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.759
an town yesterday. Yeah, you
had a chance to catch up with him
399
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:07.480
and get some comments regards to his
time not only as a NHLer but also
400
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.720
well as a member of the peter
Or Peats. One of the best Peterborough
401
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.200
Peats to ever play Graham. I
can remember watching him as a kid and
402
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:21.839
he was Brent Tully's defense partner.
But arguably the best team ever assembled for
403
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.720
Peterborough Peats, that ninety two to
ninety three squad. They didn't win the
404
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.119
Memorial Cup, they won the Ohl
Championship, but all year they're ranked as
405
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:32.559
one of the top teams in Canada. And such a nice guy, Chris
406
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.039
Pronger. Finally, night off tonight
for the Petez back out of tomorrow it
407
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:41.920
is and yeah, I got my
T shirt. I picked them up yesterday.

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.640
It's black. Oh, there's the
ping. It's fantastic. Course the
409
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.359
games are on the back as well. Names would be on the jersey.
410
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.200
My mom, my grandmother's on there. So they'll be on the Slide show
411
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.559
on Tomorrow night's hockey game but nice, huge night, right it is.
412
00:25:55.759 --> 00:26:00.200
It's a huge night, not only
for hockey fans but just people come to
413
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.359
rally around the cause and it's bigger
than the game tomorrow night. Pink and

So I've got I've got something with some

00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.720
pink in it, but it's not
gonna be that pink blazer again. All
