Ask everything.
14
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:43.549
Hello and happy Tuesday to you. My name is Gary
15
00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:48.289
and this is Saskatoon's only show going live 4 to
16
00:00:48.289 --> 00:00:52.469
5 p.m. Monday to Friday on the internet as far
17
00:00:52.509 --> 00:00:55.929
as we know. So always happy to have you here
18
00:00:56.049 --> 00:01:01.939
on your show and yeah. Tuesday. We're in the middle
19
00:01:01.979 --> 00:01:06.140
of a real grind here, ladies and gentlemen, as sleeping.
20
00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:08.989
I'm doing the uhs a lot. Let me just stop uh-ing.
21
00:01:09.030 --> 00:01:12.189
I know, Marge. I'm not doing it on purpose. No
22
00:01:12.230 --> 00:01:15.129
sleep around here. This is the face of a person
23
00:01:15.170 --> 00:01:20.049
who hasn't rested in days. And lots of times, and
24
00:01:20.090 --> 00:01:23.799
we've talked about this before, with construction going on right
25
00:01:23.829 --> 00:01:27.819
outside your front door, Your naps that you normally sneak
26
00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:29.859
in to make sure you can actually get some rest
27
00:01:30.260 --> 00:01:33.799
don't happen. And so you end up a zombie. This
28
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.140
is our zombie edition of your show. Hope you're having
29
00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:41.159
a lovely, lovely finish to your Tuesday. And I've got
30
00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:44.030
to tell you, I'm so grateful and thankful to have
31
00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:47.329
you here along for this ride because without you none
32
00:01:47.349 --> 00:01:48.549
of this exists. And we say it all the time
33
00:01:48.569 --> 00:01:50.090
and I tell you all the time, but it is
34
00:01:50.269 --> 00:01:52.930
oh so true. There's a reason we say that every
35
00:01:53.069 --> 00:01:56.329
single time we kick the show off. Because you cannot
36
00:01:57.530 --> 00:02:01.310
do something like this without you. You need support for movement.
37
00:02:01.890 --> 00:02:06.670
You need your support for the idea of making golden
38
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.680
rules cool again. Putting others before yourselves. Treating others how
39
00:02:09.699 --> 00:02:11.300
you want to be treated. That's how places like this
40
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.599
get built. And that's how they continue to grow. And
41
00:02:13.979 --> 00:02:15.939
thanks to you, it does continue to grow. So thank you,
42
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.879
thank you, thank you. And to thank you even more,
43
00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:23.169
we have a camera. She's going. She's having fun today.
44
00:02:23.590 --> 00:02:27.250
She is having a lot of fun today. This camera
45
00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:31.009
is the greatest camera in the universe, bar none. No
46
00:02:31.430 --> 00:02:35.919
question marks. Only 100 exclamation points. And it's because she
47
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:37.460
is the cutest. I also have the website right there.
48
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.000
You can check it out. DefraNav.com. That was an accident,
49
00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:41.960
and that's how you know we're live. I also had
50
00:02:41.979 --> 00:02:43.379
to check the battery pack because it got no one
51
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.310
in the tooth booth either. So it's you and I.
52
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.560
And we got one more, guys, in a couple of
53
00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:50.150
a little bit later. But before any of that, great website.
54
00:02:50.620 --> 00:02:54.460
Great website. It's time for the Maggie Cam. March. There
55
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.120
you are. Awesome. Now you're eating hair. See, now you're
56
00:02:56.139 --> 00:03:00.860
going to have a hairball. Ridiculous. The Maggie Cam. Proudly,
57
00:03:01.020 --> 00:03:03.759
proudly presented to you by our fantastic friends over at
58
00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:07.659
Pet Planet on 8th Street. They are your pet's natural grocer.
59
00:03:08.379 --> 00:03:12.060
The greatest pet store ever. Okay? Because Mike and Rochelle,
60
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.590
they run the place. They are incredible, incredible humans. March.
61
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.129
Come on, man. Hey. Hey. Come on. Camera time. There
62
00:03:18.150 --> 00:03:21.729
you go. Stop. Camera time. Not me. Don't look over
63
00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:24.669
at the camera. Yeah, we're talking about your boyfriend Leroy.
64
00:03:24.710 --> 00:03:27.310
Her boyfriend Leroy works the door there as well. So
65
00:03:27.330 --> 00:03:29.250
right when you walk and you're greeted by Leroy, you
66
00:03:29.289 --> 00:03:31.370
say hi to Mike and Rochelle and your shopping experience
67
00:03:31.409 --> 00:03:33.449
just doesn't stop being the best one of all time.
68
00:03:34.310 --> 00:03:40.560
Every Tuesday. Yeah, today is Tuesday. They got bones on sale.
69
00:03:40.569 --> 00:03:43.020
And they stay open. So they will be open when
70
00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:44.699
you are done work today. You can stop by on
71
00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:47.780
your way home and take advantage of those on sale bones.
72
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:52.180
Every Thursday, they got bones. Treats on sale. So you
73
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:53.919
can load up on all your treats. They got the
74
00:03:53.979 --> 00:03:56.900
deals waiting for you. They also now offer grooming services
75
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.479
at Pet Planet on 8th Street. And it is unbelievable
76
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.219
how incredibly awesome these grooming services are. This puppy right
77
00:04:03.250 --> 00:04:06.189
here that you're seeing. This little rascal being super cute.
78
00:04:07.389 --> 00:04:10.430
She went in there. Got a $ 60 blowout. They also
79
00:04:10.469 --> 00:04:12.870
trimmed her stump and gave her a free toy. That
80
00:04:12.889 --> 00:04:15.340
could be you. Again, to give you a comparison, the
81
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.800
old place we went to, double that. And she came
82
00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:22.329
out looking... Better, dare I say. So they got that
83
00:04:22.370 --> 00:04:24.329
going for you. They also got jerseys strewn throughout the store.
84
00:04:24.350 --> 00:04:25.810
You got to get those jerseys to make sure your
85
00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:28.949
puppy's looking good as well. A fashion aisle to continue
86
00:04:28.990 --> 00:04:33.009
that idea of making your puppy look so, so fashionable
87
00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:36.759
and cool. You know what I mean? They got raw
88
00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:39.259
foods and fridges at the back. Dry foods lining the
89
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.500
entire left side. The whole left side wall right there
90
00:04:43.459 --> 00:04:45.579
for you to pick up any of those foods that
91
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.899
you need. Right when you walk in, they got toy walls.
92
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.300
Giant toy walls. One to the left, one to the right.
93
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.879
You can walk your dog right up to. It's such
94
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:54.939
a great setup. Then they got the aisles. They got
95
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.459
a fashion aisle. I still can't believe it. I know
96
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.439
I told you that. But it's crazy that there's a
97
00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:02.290
puppy fashion aisle. And then an aisle over is toys.
98
00:05:02.310 --> 00:05:04.810
Then more food. Then all the different stuff you need. Medications.
99
00:05:05.029 --> 00:05:09.209
Everything is there. And we kicked it off by saying this.
100
00:05:09.269 --> 00:05:10.910
And we end it by saying this. Because it's oh
101
00:05:10.949 --> 00:05:14.660
so important. Because it shows how good Mike and Rochelle are.
102
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.689
How good of people they are. They stay open after
103
00:05:17.730 --> 00:05:20.730
hours and on weekends because they understand life is hard
104
00:05:20.750 --> 00:05:23.290
right now. We're all going through it. It's tough out there,
105
00:05:23.790 --> 00:05:26.269
you know? So anytime you can have a place that
106
00:05:26.290 --> 00:05:29.310
understands that and you can connect through that, you know
107
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.120
it's a very good place. Stop by on your way home.
108
00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:36.079
Go pick up some on-sale bones and say hello to
109
00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:38.899
the team over at Pet Planet on 8th Street. They
110
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:43.819
are your pet's natural grocer. Well done, March. Hey, you're
111
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.550
going to have the worst sneezes Yeah, you want to
112
00:05:46.589 --> 00:05:49.519
go outside, don't you? She, this whole time, she just
113
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.500
wants to go outside and play with her boyfriend, Don.
114
00:05:52.220 --> 00:05:59.680
I just realized. She has two boyfriends. Marge. Ridiculous. So scandalous.
115
00:06:01.670 --> 00:06:05.970
We don't do cheating, young lady. That's not right. Don's
116
00:06:05.990 --> 00:06:08.509
the next door neighbor. That's her boyfriend, but also Leroy.
117
00:06:11.089 --> 00:06:14.449
Welcome to the Tuesday edition. Again, this is the zombie
118
00:06:14.509 --> 00:06:17.230
edition as we are going with the bags. I know, Marge,
119
00:06:17.250 --> 00:06:20.870
give me a second, dude. The bags are just hanging.
120
00:06:20.889 --> 00:06:24.589
It's a rough one. So to everyone who struggles with sleep,
121
00:06:24.649 --> 00:06:26.329
I feel you. We're actually going to get into that
122
00:06:26.350 --> 00:06:29.040
a little bit later with an expert in all things.
123
00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:31.699
I'm going to throw sleep in there, too, because he
124
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.079
does it all. Before we get to that, though, Learning
125
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.470
Disabilities Awareness Month is right now. All of October. And
126
00:06:40.069 --> 00:06:43.689
one of our new shows, Learning Disability, Schmissability is what
127
00:06:43.709 --> 00:06:46.490
the show is called. And then episode two is called
128
00:06:46.649 --> 00:06:52.819
LD Schmeldies, Learning Disability. And it's a great, great episode
129
00:06:53.459 --> 00:06:56.899
because it shows you a lot of things. It teaches
130
00:06:56.939 --> 00:07:00.040
you a lot, but also while still being very entertaining.
131
00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:04.040
Give me one second, dude. I'm almost there. And the
132
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.800
whole episode's up now. You can go watch it in full,
133
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:07.209
but I wanted to give you a little taste of it.
134
00:07:07.220 --> 00:07:10.800
So we're going to play A couple minutes, including the
135
00:07:10.819 --> 00:07:12.360
intro because the intro is hilarious, just to give you
136
00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:16.000
an idea of this as we all, I guess, honor
137
00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:22.230
Learning Disabilities Awareness Month here for October. Hopefully this will
138
00:07:22.269 --> 00:07:25.569
get you into wanting to go and see the rest
139
00:07:25.610 --> 00:07:28.029
of it because it's so good. Everything Brett Williams does
140
00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:31.240
is amazing. It all starts with his band that did
141
00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:34.480
the intro, Josh Gardner. So please enjoy a little taste
142
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.040
of Our brand new show, Disabilities, Swissabilities. This is episode two,
143
00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:40.860
LD's Schmeldy.
144
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:49.439
All my world is begging for spite. Broken down someone,
145
00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:57.769
broken mountain lion. All my world is terrible and bright.
146
00:07:58.209 --> 00:08:02.069
See you in the morning, listen.
147
00:08:01.589 --> 00:08:02.389
To the tide.
148
00:08:08.689 --> 00:08:12.959
And we're rolling when I'm ready. I am ready. Welcome back.
149
00:08:13.899 --> 00:08:20.110
Season one, episode two of Disability Schmissability. I always want
150
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.990
to emphasize that the intent of that title is not
151
00:08:23.069 --> 00:08:26.790
to be dismissive of disabilities, though to help us to
152
00:08:26.810 --> 00:08:29.709
kind of reframe how we look at them, recognizing that
153
00:08:29.870 --> 00:08:32.159
it's not about the dis part about it. It's about
154
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.320
finding the ways to enable disability. Make sure everyone is
155
00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:39.840
included and has accessibility and are able to participate in
156
00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:43.080
this thing we call life. One of the cool things
157
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.600
about this thing we call life is that there are
158
00:08:45.659 --> 00:08:49.720
opportunities for all of us. And this episode is about
159
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:57.429
learning disabilities in particular, or LDs, called LDs Shmeldys. Let
160
00:08:57.470 --> 00:09:00.690
that sink in. LDs Shmeldys, here we go. Check it out.
161
00:09:01.210 --> 00:09:06.870
October is fast upon us. And it also happens to
162
00:09:06.909 --> 00:09:10.740
be Learning Disability Awareness Month. You may be wondering why
163
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:15.740
that's the case. Great news. 1985, Ronald Reagan declared it so.
164
00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:20.519
Look at that. 1985, that was my birth year, by
165
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.289
the way. There's no, I don't know if it's coincident,
166
00:09:24.330 --> 00:09:27.970
like it's not causal. It's not a causal relationship. It
167
00:09:27.990 --> 00:09:34.120
just correlates. October also happens to be Dyslexia Awareness Month,
168
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.679
which is awesome. And that was first proclaimed in the
169
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.450
United Kingdom in 2002. It's a good reminder that, like
170
00:09:41.570 --> 00:09:46.669
all learning disabilities, dyslexia also does not discriminate, even against
171
00:09:46.710 --> 00:09:49.610
some of the accents that may not be as pleasing
172
00:09:49.629 --> 00:09:55.029
to the ear. Exhibit A, Peppa Pig and the Pig Family.
173
00:09:56.789 --> 00:10:01.529
Not everyone's familiar with this family or their accents. And
174
00:10:02.100 --> 00:10:04.149
to each their own, I find them a bit grating
175
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:08.820
at times. Perhaps it's also Papa Pig's rank facial hair.
176
00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:11.740
I just can't get behind it. I can't take my
177
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.519
eyes off of it. They also have both eyes on
178
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:18.529
the same side of the head, but not... They're toy figures.
179
00:10:18.629 --> 00:10:21.870
When they created the Peppa Pig family figures, the eyes
180
00:10:21.929 --> 00:10:26.639
are where they should be. Disclaimer, this presentation has been
181
00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:33.340
created and is being facilitated by someone with ADHD. Learning
182
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:38.539
disabilities are not preventable, but they are prevalent. And some
183
00:10:38.610 --> 00:10:42.210
statistics suggest that nearly 1 in 10 people have a
184
00:10:42.230 --> 00:10:49.370
learning disability. Learning disabilities are also like Allen Iverson. How,
185
00:10:49.450 --> 00:10:54.490
you ask? Boy, am I glad you asked. They are misunderstood.
186
00:10:56.889 --> 00:11:02.519
Learning disabilities are also non-apparent disabilities, and that's an important category.
187
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.779
These are disabilities that are impactful and affect all aspects
188
00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:11.159
of a person's life, but they aren't as outwardly obvious
189
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.789
as other disabilities. That's reiterated on this slide here. I
190
00:11:15.830 --> 00:11:19.580
got ahead of myself. They're not outwardly visible, yet they
191
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.299
still impact all these areas of our lives. You'll see
192
00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:27.139
even when attempting to do the Incy Wincy spider, it
193
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:33.919
might be impacted by someone's non-apparent or apparent disability. This
194
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.789
will seem random, but we do need to explore myths
195
00:11:37.110 --> 00:11:39.970
and understand what myths are so that we can be
196
00:11:40.470 --> 00:11:44.980
more inclusive and supportive of those of us with non-apparent disabilities.
197
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.320
A myth is a misconception, or it's an incorrect assumption,
198
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:56.389
a wrong belief. Cerberus is also a myth. Boy, I
199
00:11:56.450 --> 00:12:03.190
sure hope so. A swing and a myth. Shout out
200
00:12:03.230 --> 00:12:09.340
to Benchwarmers, one of the most, I'd say, underappreciated films
201
00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:13.139
of the past decade. millennia. Check it out when you
202
00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:17.320
get a chance. There are some myths about learning disabilities,
203
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.690
such as if you can't see a disability, then it
204
00:12:20.870 --> 00:12:25.490
does not exist. That's that apparent aspect, and learning disabilities
205
00:12:25.610 --> 00:12:30.470
are non-apparent. So we can be forgiven for assuming that
206
00:12:31.110 --> 00:12:33.509
they don't exist, or perhaps they're not as real as
207
00:12:33.570 --> 00:12:37.919
other ones. But that's not the case. Learning disabilities are
208
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:43.600
just as legitimate and impactful as other apparent Ds, E
209
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:49.669
for disability. They cause significant challenges regardless of external recognition
210
00:12:49.710 --> 00:12:54.370
of them. There's the myth that sometimes people with learning
211
00:12:54.389 --> 00:12:58.789
disabilities are faking it. That's also false. These conditions are
212
00:12:58.809 --> 00:13:01.909
not faked. For those of you that know what it's
213
00:13:01.929 --> 00:13:05.779
like to live with one, you'd It's baffling to think
214
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.259
that people would assume that we would turn it on
215
00:13:09.450 --> 00:13:12.409
or to fake it somehow. The truth is that these
216
00:13:12.710 --> 00:13:15.289
disabilities are often hidden and the symptoms of them are
217
00:13:15.330 --> 00:13:18.629
often masked. A lot of people put in a lot
218
00:13:18.809 --> 00:13:22.450
of energy and focus trying to mask the symptoms of
219
00:13:22.509 --> 00:13:26.289
their non-apparent disabilities. This is often a result of things
220
00:13:26.309 --> 00:13:32.769
like stigma and just wanting to fit in. And fitting
221
00:13:32.830 --> 00:13:37.529
in is not worth it. However, people feel pressure to
222
00:13:37.570 --> 00:13:40.549
do that at times, especially younger people. And so these
223
00:13:40.590 --> 00:13:44.649
are hidden. And because they're hidden, sometimes that also can
224
00:13:45.049 --> 00:13:48.340
serve as its own barrier to people accessing the right
225
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.879
types of assessments or supports or interventions, other resources as well.
226
00:13:54.539 --> 00:13:58.100
Another myth is that people with learning disabilities just need
227
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:02.360
to try harder. Certainly there will be days. People with
228
00:14:02.620 --> 00:14:05.879
or without learning disabilities will have days of lower motivation
229
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.539
or they just simply won't want to do the boring stuff.
230
00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:13.970
But that's not an indication of the actual level of effort.
231
00:14:14.049 --> 00:14:18.710
And so willpower alone will not eliminate these symptoms. Often
232
00:14:18.730 --> 00:14:23.769
people with learning disabilities are very effortful. They often overinvest
233
00:14:24.049 --> 00:14:27.330
time and effort and energy and attention trying to mask
234
00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:32.049
the symptoms of these learning disabilities. And so People require
235
00:14:32.070 --> 00:14:36.149
that appropriate support and understanding of symptoms, the right types
236
00:14:36.190 --> 00:14:41.600
of accommodations throughout different settings. There's a myth. This is
237
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.120
a big one. And at the surface level, it kind
238
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.100
of makes sense. It makes sense to assume that because
239
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:52.309
someone is struggling to learn, that that's a reflection of
240
00:14:52.409 --> 00:14:57.549
their intelligence or their cognitive ability. But that's a myth. Interestingly,
241
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:02.139
To actually obtain a formal diagnosis of a learning disability,
242
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:06.830
it actually requires average or above average intelligence. And that's
243
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:10.730
because of this discrepancy concept. There needs to be a
244
00:15:10.789 --> 00:15:14.429
gap between the cognitive potential or the cognitive abilities of
245
00:15:14.450 --> 00:15:19.009
someone and their actual academic achievement or workplace achievement. And
246
00:15:19.029 --> 00:15:24.309
so if there isn't that gap there, then that's suggesting
247
00:15:24.350 --> 00:15:27.450
that there's something else going on. But when a formal
248
00:15:28.950 --> 00:15:35.320
and comprehensive psychoeducational assessment is conducted, that's able to determine
249
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:40.879
where academic outcomes should be based on the cognitive profile
250
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.350
of the person. And that gap that's there suggests a
251
00:15:45.419 --> 00:15:51.230
specific learning disability. Another myth about learning disabilities. I got
252
00:15:51.269 --> 00:15:53.909
excited and oh, I'm jumping all over here, backing on up,
253
00:15:54.690 --> 00:15:58.840
a myth. People with learning disabilities can outgrow their conditions.
254
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:03.159
That's not true. These are lifelong. They're lifelong conditions and
255
00:16:03.179 --> 00:16:07.129
they're a result of how the brain functions. But remember,
256
00:16:07.169 --> 00:16:11.730
it's not about intelligence. And these symptoms can present differently
257
00:16:12.090 --> 00:16:16.649
in different settings or at different times. And certainly individuals
258
00:16:16.690 --> 00:16:20.389
with these conditions can be well equipped with their own
259
00:16:20.450 --> 00:16:24.440
adaptive strategies they can use. and others can provide accommodations
260
00:16:24.659 --> 00:16:29.679
to minimize the impact of these symptoms. Even with all
261
00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:34.220
of those accommodations, those personalized strategies in place, these conditions
262
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:39.240
are still a result of neurobiological aspects, the things within
263
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:41.299
our brains. And so they're not things that we can
264
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:46.019
grow out of. There's a number of specific learning disabilities.
265
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:48.870
This is not a full list of all of them,
266
00:16:48.970 --> 00:16:51.269
but these are some of the more common ones. Dyslexia
267
00:16:51.289 --> 00:16:53.490
is probably the most famous one. We hear a lot
268
00:16:53.509 --> 00:17:01.090
about that. There's also dysgraphia. There's dyspraxia and dyscalculia. Oh, wait.
269
00:17:01.690 --> 00:17:07.220
It's not dyscalculia. It's actually dyscalculia. I only learned that
270
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.619
a couple months ago, and admittedly, I was disappointed because
271
00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:16.900
I thought dyscalculia sounded like a super cool vampire that
272
00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:22.769
maybe just had some difficulties with numbers. So the correct
273
00:17:23.349 --> 00:17:28.109
term is dyscalculia, and it steals all the potential jokes
274
00:17:28.250 --> 00:17:33.630
that I could have made of that vampire. Knowing the
275
00:17:33.670 --> 00:17:39.099
statistics on learning disabilities, hypothetically or for real, if vampires
276
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:43.380
do in fact exist, I'm not trying to get political
277
00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:53.099
or speciesist, human centricist. If vampires exist, technically one in
278
00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:57.990
10 of them could have a learning disability. So more
279
00:17:58.009 --> 00:18:04.450
about these words like dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyssopraxia. The dys,
280
00:18:05.650 --> 00:18:09.380
dys is a root word from Latin, meaning difficulty, bad,
281
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:12.599
or ill, but unfortunately not in the good ways of
282
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.779
being bad or ill, like Carl Carlton's hit song, Bad
283
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:20.549
Mama Jama, or dysgraphia. The Beastie Boys hit record license
284
00:18:20.589 --> 00:18:24.769
to ill. Those are both favorable and positive uses of
285
00:18:24.829 --> 00:18:29.079
the word bad and ill. But with learning disabilities, that's
286
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.140
not so. Dyslexia. Let's break it down a little bit.
287
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:38.660
We know that dys means difficulty. Lex means word. And
288
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.900
ia means condition. So when you put those together, it's
289
00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:47.140
a condition of difficulty with reading words. And it can
290
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.069
be quite impactful. It's easy for us to assume that
291
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:54.329
learning disabilities only impact students while they're in the school setting,
292
00:18:54.950 --> 00:18:58.930
but they impact us beyond the school setting, also into
293
00:18:58.990 --> 00:19:01.930
our professional lives, our personal lives at home too, just
294
00:19:01.990 --> 00:19:05.859
managing a household. And so think about all the tasks,
295
00:19:06.059 --> 00:19:09.200
the daily tasks that are required that involve reading. And
296
00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:13.480
then think about if there are some brain-based difficulties to read,
297
00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:16.420
how that kind of never leaves you. You have to
298
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.799
learn to navigate life while navigating dyslexia. It can result
299
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.190
in things like slower reading, requiring more time to read
300
00:19:24.250 --> 00:19:30.369
or to write, and difficulty sounding out words. Dysgraphia has
301
00:19:30.430 --> 00:19:35.359
those same word components of difficulty and condition, but with
302
00:19:35.390 --> 00:19:38.400
graph being a written symbol, which could be an idea,
303
00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:41.809
a sound, or an expression, This is a condition of
304
00:19:41.950 --> 00:19:46.559
difficulty with writing or spelling. This can also be impactful
305
00:19:46.619 --> 00:19:51.369
throughout the lifespan, resulting in symptoms such as inconsistent letter
306
00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:57.750
cases and punctuation, difficulties with letter formation and spacing, and
307
00:19:57.789 --> 00:20:04.549
struggles with writing in a straight line. I was going
308
00:20:04.569 --> 00:20:06.569
to say I'm embarrassed. I'm not embarrassed. It took me
309
00:20:06.609 --> 00:20:08.569
a lot of time to make the slide and to
310
00:20:08.829 --> 00:20:11.769
make that last bullet point on an angle. This was
311
00:20:11.809 --> 00:20:16.359
made in PowerPoint. I figured it out. On the right,
312
00:20:16.380 --> 00:20:20.680
I don't know, maybe left, I'm quite discombobulated looking at
313
00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:23.720
the screen, and I'm mirrored in the screen I'm looking at.
314
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:29.240
So it's on the picture with the printed writing. That's
315
00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:33.319
an actual real life example of an adult with dysgraphia.
316
00:20:35.009 --> 00:20:37.970
Not all people with dysgraphia will have writing that looks
317
00:20:38.009 --> 00:20:40.369
like this, but it just shows some of those hallmark
318
00:20:40.410 --> 00:20:47.250
characteristics of the condition. Dyspraxia, again, same word components of
319
00:20:47.369 --> 00:20:52.029
difficulty and condition, though that middle word, prax, is from praxis,
320
00:20:52.769 --> 00:20:57.640
which refers to intentional muscle control. And intentional muscle control
321
00:20:58.130 --> 00:21:00.450
has been going on for me in my right arm.
322
00:21:00.690 --> 00:21:04.579
That's my non-microphone holding arm because I have my laptop
323
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.480
hidden behind a fake plant. So you can't see that
324
00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:10.759
I'm clicking the slides like this. So that's why I'm
325
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.559
standing kind of weirdly, not moving my right arm. But
326
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.009
that's an intentional muscle movement. If I happened to be
327
00:21:19.049 --> 00:21:22.930
someone with dyspraxia, I would likely struggle to have the
328
00:21:22.970 --> 00:21:26.839
coordination The fine and gross motor skills to even be
329
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.859
able to do a task like this, that seems relatively
330
00:21:30.099 --> 00:21:33.519
simple and straightforward because there's not a lot of motor
331
00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:38.619
planning involved. But dyspraxia can have a big impact. It
332
00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:42.339
can be seen as or it can present as things
333
00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:46.460
like clumsiness and struggles with small tasks. So fine motor
334
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:49.880
tasks would be things like doing up a zipper or
335
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:54.920
a button or opening a can of sardines. especially the
336
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.140
sardine cans with the little key, if you remember those.
337
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:01.549
They were a classic in Looney Tunes cartoons way back
338
00:22:01.609 --> 00:22:06.109
in the 80s and 90s. Those small tasks are everywhere
339
00:22:06.130 --> 00:22:11.890
in our lives. Even just think about with digital technology, smartphones,
340
00:22:12.049 --> 00:22:15.529
car key fobs, all these things have smaller buttons on them.
341
00:22:16.609 --> 00:22:20.509
Dyspraxia can also influence a person's ability to coordinate their
342
00:22:20.569 --> 00:22:24.069
larger muscle groups, like gross motor tasks. So that could
343
00:22:24.089 --> 00:22:26.809
be things like riding a bicycle. That could be things
344
00:22:26.849 --> 00:22:31.490
like reorganizing a studio. When I arrived here, the fine
345
00:22:31.529 --> 00:22:37.569
gentlemen at Dufferin Avenue Media Network were taking their very,
346
00:22:39.869 --> 00:22:46.930
let's say, characterful and some might say messy environment. But
347
00:22:46.970 --> 00:22:49.619
they were using their gross motor skills. to clean it
348
00:22:49.710 --> 00:22:52.210
up very nicely. So it's presentable like this. So you
349
00:22:52.230 --> 00:22:56.910
can see me in about 70% of my glory. So
350
00:22:56.930 --> 00:22:59.650
those gross motor skills are, again, things we're doing throughout
351
00:22:59.890 --> 00:23:03.440
every day of our lives. Like all these other conditions
352
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:08.759
as well, dyspraxia can result in anxiety and exhaustion. Again,
353
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:12.519
coming back to that masking, that's often practiced by people
354
00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:20.009
with learning disabilities and other non-apparent disabilities. trying consciously, effortfully
355
00:23:20.130 --> 00:23:26.059
trying to always try to present as being unimpacted by
356
00:23:26.099 --> 00:23:31.839
a condition. It's just yet another layer of cognitive power
357
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:38.140
being used and drained throughout the day too. Dyscalculia, remember
358
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.079
not a vampire, but this relates to calculus and the
359
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:48.910
Latin origin of calculus which also has given its name
360
00:23:48.950 --> 00:23:52.549
to that fancy math, the root word is actually a
361
00:23:52.769 --> 00:23:54.890
pebble or a stone. Like if you think about an
362
00:23:55.369 --> 00:24:02.279
abacus or even pre-abacus days, using stones as little counting markers.
363
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:07.000
And so this is a condition of difficulty with math-related skills,
364
00:24:07.259 --> 00:24:13.119
any type of counting. The impact of dyscalculia, just results,
365
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:18.599
it's that... that fair assumption, that fair understanding, that it
366
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.829
impacts the ability to do math computations or to even
367
00:24:23.890 --> 00:24:28.650
recognize numbers. Sometimes it can result in difficulties with trying
368
00:24:28.670 --> 00:24:30.970
to like plan out or schedule your day, trying to
369
00:24:30.990 --> 00:24:34.150
think about the sequence of events that need to happen
370
00:24:34.210 --> 00:24:38.549
or the possible time durations of different tasks. And so
371
00:24:38.609 --> 00:24:41.549
this obviously can have a huge impact in the school
372
00:24:41.589 --> 00:24:45.829
environment itself, but again, beyond that in the workplace and
373
00:24:45.869 --> 00:24:49.269
throughout our daily lives. Even things like handling money, which
374
00:24:49.470 --> 00:24:51.970
we don't have to do a ton of anymore in
375
00:24:52.049 --> 00:24:55.769
today's day and age because of debit cards and that
376
00:24:56.130 --> 00:25:01.269
and Bitcoin. But even being able to, like in our
377
00:25:01.289 --> 00:25:04.190
own minds, even though we're not handling money, just being
378
00:25:04.230 --> 00:25:06.579
able to do some of those very, what we take
379
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:10.880
for granted as very basic computations throughout a day can
380
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:18.700
be impacted by dyscalculia. Now, the prevalence of learning disabilities
381
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.799
is higher than we would assume, and the exact numbers
382
00:25:22.940 --> 00:25:25.299
are difficult to come by for a number of reasons,
383
00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:32.529
though across census information and from other research studies, on average,
384
00:25:33.289 --> 00:25:35.829
there seems to be a consensus of about up to
385
00:25:35.829 --> 00:25:40.869
10% of people being impacted by learning disabilities. And I
386
00:25:40.910 --> 00:25:43.509
think that's higher than most of us would assume. And
387
00:25:43.549 --> 00:25:47.579
so how that translates into a classroom of 30 students,
388
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.619
soon in Saskatchewan, that number could be up to 40 students.
389
00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:55.119
But 10% of those 30 students would be three students.
390
00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:59.400
So think about every classroom having three students with a
391
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:06.640
specific learning disability requiring academic modifications and accommodations. And that's
392
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:09.079
on the teacher. And that's on the school team to
393
00:26:09.140 --> 00:26:12.710
provide those as well. So it also highlights not only
394
00:26:12.730 --> 00:26:16.269
the daily experience of those students, but also all of
395
00:26:16.309 --> 00:26:22.470
those very highly educated and well-intentioned school professionals that are accommodating,
396
00:26:22.490 --> 00:26:27.740
that are introducing accommodations so that these students are successful.
397
00:26:28.940 --> 00:26:32.599
Within a workplace, for us adults, out of 100 employees,
398
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:37.730
10 of those would possibly have a learning disability. Thinking
399
00:26:37.769 --> 00:26:41.880
about the entire province, This is population data for Saskatchewan
400
00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:45.880
from April of 2026. This is quite recent. So 1.2
401
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:53.740
million Saskatchewanians. Of those, 126,000 would have a learning disability.
402
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:57.019
Chances are you know at least one person. Well, think
403
00:26:57.059 --> 00:26:59.740
about it. For every 10 people you know, one could
404
00:26:59.769 --> 00:27:04.769
have a specific learning disability. This also equates to one
405
00:27:04.829 --> 00:27:09.450
in 10 X-Men having a learning disability. Imagine that. being
406
00:27:09.490 --> 00:27:12.029
a mutant, and having a learning disability.
407
00:27:14.990 --> 00:27:18.470
He's so good. Ladies and gentlemen, Brett Williams. That's a
408
00:27:18.769 --> 00:27:23.259
little snippet from episode two. Eldies Shmeldies is the title
409
00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:28.000
of said episode. The show is called Disabilities Shmishabilities. And
410
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:32.480
that dude, as you can see, hilarious. The X-Men, dude.
411
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:37.210
I know. X-Men. Allen Iverson, the Count from Sesame Street. Cerberuses.
412
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:46.069
while informing you during, I guess that episode dropped on
413
00:27:46.170 --> 00:27:49.190
October 1st, which was the first day of Learning Disabilities
414
00:27:49.269 --> 00:27:51.730
Awareness Month. So check that out on the network. Uncle
415
00:27:51.750 --> 00:27:56.869
Mike is here! Oh! My man! You look good.
416
00:27:57.109 --> 00:27:57.470
Well, thanks.
417
00:27:57.650 --> 00:28:02.210
You look real good. Thanks, man. Yeah, such a fun show. Yeah.
418
00:28:02.450 --> 00:28:06.069
And those stats, the little stats that he's thrown at you.
419
00:28:06.130 --> 00:28:09.630
And I love it when it's like, like super informative,
420
00:28:09.950 --> 00:28:12.950
but I just learned it in a very hilarious way.
421
00:28:13.009 --> 00:28:15.529
It's entertaining, man. He's got something really special. I told
422
00:28:15.589 --> 00:28:19.069
him like, send this video to the, all the national
423
00:28:19.109 --> 00:28:23.509
international people, you know, because as a guy who struggles
424
00:28:23.569 --> 00:28:29.009
with sitting and listening during presentations like that stuff that
425
00:28:29.029 --> 00:28:30.470
I feel like I won't be able to wrap my
426
00:28:30.490 --> 00:28:32.109
head around. It's like, okay, then you try and then
427
00:28:32.130 --> 00:28:35.450
you get frustrated again. It's, All within the realm of
428
00:28:35.470 --> 00:28:37.750
this whole thing. It's like, yeah, but when you're laughing,
429
00:28:37.769 --> 00:28:39.250
you can hear during the episode, I'm losing it in
430
00:28:39.269 --> 00:28:43.289
the toothbrush. Just losing it. Hilarious what that man does.
431
00:28:44.069 --> 00:28:48.990
As the Tuesday edition of your show continues here, Bugsy's baby,
432
00:28:49.250 --> 00:28:54.529
so close, Uncle Mike, four flavors left. Ooh! Four flavors
433
00:28:54.589 --> 00:28:56.970
left from our passport that you can pick up either location,
434
00:28:57.019 --> 00:29:00.759
Lawson Heights or Market Mall. And those Bugsy's, man, they're
435
00:29:00.859 --> 00:29:04.180
happening joints. That sound cool when I said that? Yeah,
436
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.539
very happy to join some Brad and Jen, their teams,
437
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:10.819
doing the thing. Get in there and do the Peppermint
438
00:29:10.859 --> 00:29:13.589
Twist or another new dance that goes like this.
439
00:29:14.269 --> 00:29:14.630
There you go.
440
00:29:15.089 --> 00:29:16.390
I miss songs that tell you how to dance.
441
00:29:16.410 --> 00:29:17.910
Keeping it in the era.
442
00:29:18.170 --> 00:29:20.869
Trying to. Really trying. You got it in my head there. Man,
443
00:29:20.890 --> 00:29:24.109
that was a great era for music. So get that done.
444
00:29:24.549 --> 00:29:27.289
Every Tuesday and Thursday, we're half price off in-house, okay?
445
00:29:27.609 --> 00:29:31.059
And it is Tuesday. Over half price off in-house for you,
446
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:34.279
both those Cajuns, for those delicious wings. And then once
447
00:29:34.299 --> 00:29:36.500
you're past percent, you get a shirt. We're four away
448
00:29:36.579 --> 00:29:39.710
from a real shirt, an earned shirt, not this one.
449
00:29:40.130 --> 00:29:43.339
That's like checkered flag. You can see it in the distance, right?
450
00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:44.950
You're rounding that last corner.
451
00:29:45.339 --> 00:29:48.839
Very exciting. Then our next one, Monday. We've got a Monday,
452
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:53.299
Thanksgiving Monday game, 11 a.m. So we're on the air, 10.30,
453
00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:56.339
Monday morning, for the 13th Mellon. We're going to knock
454
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.160
out two more of those delicious, amazing wings. As well,
455
00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:03.420
they sent over the wing of the month, the Blood
456
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.809
Moon Rising wing. Very October-y, isn't it?
457
00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:08.089
Very intrigued.
458
00:30:08.329 --> 00:30:10.390
So here's what you got. And you can check out
459
00:30:10.410 --> 00:30:13.349
the 13th Melon. We use the top-down camera. We show
460
00:30:13.369 --> 00:30:15.309
them off in all their glory so you can see
461
00:30:15.349 --> 00:30:18.400
how delicious they not only look, but you can also
462
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:23.380
see how delicious they taste because we're wearing them. You
463
00:30:23.420 --> 00:30:25.859
know when you get, like, sweet and sour pork, got
464
00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:28.180
that red sauce on it? Yep. Or like chicken balls
465
00:30:28.220 --> 00:30:32.200
and dipping that Chinese red sauce. So these wings have
466
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:35.940
that on it. But it's mixed in because, you know,
467
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.400
they always put their own take on it. Mixed in
468
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:42.420
with the locally sourced hot sauce they got. So it's
469
00:30:42.460 --> 00:30:46.990
like a sweet with the heat. And it looks like
470
00:30:47.269 --> 00:30:50.150
that red color too. Very cool. The Blood Moon Rising,
471
00:30:50.170 --> 00:30:53.390
your feature wing at Bugsy's this month. Be sure to
472
00:30:53.450 --> 00:30:55.089
try it out. Very, very good.
473
00:30:55.740 --> 00:30:56.890
I thought it was super cool.
474
00:30:56.950 --> 00:30:58.630
Amanda and I were there, I don't know, a little
475
00:30:58.670 --> 00:31:00.509
while ago, and we were kind of going back and
476
00:31:00.549 --> 00:31:04.390
forth between a couple different flavors. I think we got
477
00:31:04.470 --> 00:31:09.500
three different kinds. And the waitress, she's like, you know what,
478
00:31:09.539 --> 00:31:13.779
my favorite. And it wasn't even on the menu. And
479
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:16.089
she just slipped one in there. I can't remember what
480
00:31:16.130 --> 00:31:18.859
it was, if it was like, dill pickle with sweet
481
00:31:18.910 --> 00:31:20.259
chili heat or like.
482
00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:23.140
Dude, that's my number one on the rankings list. The
483
00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:26.240
sweet pickle heat. It's the greatest flavor ever made.
484
00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:30.599
It was either that one or... I can't remember which
485
00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:31.880
ones we got. A few off the menu and then
486
00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:33.000
she's like, oh, we can do this.
487
00:31:33.019 --> 00:31:34.299
This is the battle you have, by the way, when
488
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:34.880
you're trying to decide.
489
00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:37.900
There's too many freaking good ones. Or it was like a.
490
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.200
I don't know, like a tequila with the sweet... I
491
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:43.920
can't remember what combo they did. When we were there
492
00:31:44.059 --> 00:31:48.309
on location for the Banjo Bowl. Brad, our buddy, brought
493
00:31:48.349 --> 00:31:50.670
around a little plate and it had.
494
00:31:50.569 --> 00:31:52.309
The spices on it. And he's like, just try this
495
00:31:52.369 --> 00:31:54.670
one and try this one and try them both out.
496
00:31:54.710 --> 00:31:56.410
And I was like, this one's a little bit better.
497
00:31:56.690 --> 00:31:59.470
It was like sweet tequila lime or something like that.
498
00:31:59.490 --> 00:32:01.170
It's like a new flavor they're trying. Like they're always
499
00:32:01.259 --> 00:32:01.950
trying new stuff.
500
00:32:01.970 --> 00:32:03.019
Yeah, it was, I don't know.
501
00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:04.900
And I was like, oh damn, this was a good,
502
00:32:05.140 --> 00:32:07.039
like a good suggestion from that server.
503
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.240
That's what they do over at Bugsy's. Be sure to
504
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:14.200
check them out. All right, Uncle Mike, we're going to
505
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:18.059
try to go into your natural healing stuff. realm of
506
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:18.519
your brain.
507
00:32:18.539 --> 00:32:19.059
Okay.
508
00:32:19.660 --> 00:32:22.039
And I need some tips on how to get a
509
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.220
little bit of rest here because as you said when
510
00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:26.920
you came in, you look a little rough.
511
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:28.440
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to.
512
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.369
Dude, I look in the mirror, like trust me, like
513
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:33.220
I haven't slept. You just look tired. That's what happens
514
00:32:33.269 --> 00:32:37.190
when you don't sleep. It builds on you. Yes. How
515
00:32:37.509 --> 00:32:40.069
are you when it comes to sleeping tips? Because I
516
00:32:40.109 --> 00:32:41.910
know you've got a lot of routines, you've got a
517
00:32:41.950 --> 00:32:46.549
lot of different supplements you take. And all that stuff,
518
00:32:46.569 --> 00:32:48.589
because I'm assuming your sleeping is good?
519
00:32:49.190 --> 00:32:51.710
It has been, but I definitely struggle with sleep.
520
00:32:51.730 --> 00:32:54.069
This is why I ask, because it seems like you've
521
00:32:54.089 --> 00:32:54.730
been in this only.
522
00:32:55.049 --> 00:32:58.829
Yes, yeah, and I hate to say anything, because as
523
00:32:58.869 --> 00:33:01.569
soon as I think, oh, I'm sleeping great, that's when
524
00:33:01.650 --> 00:33:02.410
it falls off the rails.
525
00:33:02.430 --> 00:33:06.490
This place is a barrier for only positivity, so the
526
00:33:06.529 --> 00:33:07.509
negative stuff doesn't get in here.
527
00:33:07.789 --> 00:33:10.910
So I would say one of the, well, maybe not
528
00:33:10.950 --> 00:33:16.250
the simplest, but No supplement, no tea, no nothing.
529
00:33:16.950 --> 00:33:19.759
It's just don't eat late.
530
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:21.880
That's all I do. I know.
531
00:33:22.220 --> 00:33:27.779
And honestly, dude, it will make a huge difference.
532
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:32.450
This is making sense now. Yeah. So what's considered late?
533
00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:35.049
I would not. I'd like try not to eat late.
534
00:33:35.069 --> 00:33:37.519
Is it based on when you go into bed? Yeah. Yeah.
535
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:39.660
So when you're going to bed, which I mean, also
536
00:33:39.940 --> 00:33:42.720
that in like a good bedtime is important as well.
537
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:44.720
And sticking to that kind of routine.
538
00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:45.460
Yeah.
539
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:47.819
Uh, I find like if I stay up past midnight
540
00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:50.940
and even if I'm not eating or drinking or doing anything,
541
00:33:51.299 --> 00:33:54.000
even just staying up past midnight, because I, I wake
542
00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:55.660
up at the same time, like on.
543
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:57.240
Weekends, it's like, Oh, I'm going to sleep in. It's
544
00:33:57.259 --> 00:33:57.700
going to be great.
545
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.220
I don't freaking sleep in. I wake up at the
546
00:33:59.259 --> 00:34:01.920
same time, but it's the weekend. So I was like, well,
547
00:34:01.940 --> 00:34:04.660
I'm going to watch a movie. Stay up till 1230
548
00:34:04.660 --> 00:34:05.900
or something. Yeah.
549
00:34:05.940 --> 00:34:06.039
Fun.
550
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:10.239
And then it's like, oh, well, that was terrible. And
551
00:34:10.380 --> 00:34:11.159
I don't know what it is.
552
00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:14.039
I made a horrible choice. It's that midnight. And my
553
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:18.269
grandma always said, she's like, an hour. I'm going to
554
00:34:18.289 --> 00:34:23.409
screw it up. But it's like an hour before midnight. No,
555
00:34:23.449 --> 00:34:26.570
an hour after midnight is worth two hours before midnight.
556
00:34:26.590 --> 00:34:27.150
Or something like that.
557
00:34:27.969 --> 00:34:31.389
Basically, if you stay up past midnight, you need to
558
00:34:32.190 --> 00:34:35.690
sleep longer to get the same amount of rest as
559
00:34:35.710 --> 00:34:36.329
you would if you went.
560
00:34:36.699 --> 00:34:39.000
See, that makes sense to me. That's just, that's simple math.
561
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:40.610
And I don't know, the older I get, the more
562
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.909
I notice it. So, uh, so that would be one thing.
563
00:34:43.949 --> 00:34:46.090
Like I would say like five to six hours before
564
00:34:46.130 --> 00:34:47.230
you go to sleep.
565
00:34:47.570 --> 00:34:48.210
Oh man.
566
00:34:48.510 --> 00:34:51.590
So, uh, and that's, I mean, that's probably a stretch.
567
00:34:51.630 --> 00:34:53.969
I'd say for me, realistically, it's probably like four hours.
568
00:34:54.010 --> 00:34:57.099
Like basically I eat supper and then I try not
569
00:34:57.139 --> 00:34:58.139
to eat anything after that.
570
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:02.139
Okay. So if I'm going to bed at say an early,
571
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.449
early bedtime, say like two 30. Yep. When would I
572
00:35:05.469 --> 00:35:13.139
need to cut off? Like 10.30? Yeah. Jeez. And normally. Okay.
573
00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:16.179
10 o'clock. I got to make. Move my window. Because
574
00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:20.500
as I fast. I'm always worried about my window. I
575
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:23.780
get my window in. So. I can still eat at
576
00:35:23.780 --> 00:35:28.880
8 p.m. Just not. 10 p.m. Normally I'll. Like. If
577
00:35:28.980 --> 00:35:31.880
I'm hanging around. I'll eat around 10. 10 p.m. Yep.
578
00:35:32.579 --> 00:35:32.699
And.
579
00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:34.940
That seems like it's going to be way too late
580
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.480
because I'm going to have to stay up until at
581
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:38.000
least two.
582
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:40.519
I mean, I would just try eating earlier. The earlier
583
00:35:40.579 --> 00:35:42.559
you can eat, the better. So basically what's happening is
584
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:44.539
when you're trying to sleep, now your body is trying
585
00:35:44.579 --> 00:35:45.380
to process.
586
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:47.469
Get that food process. Yeah, get all that good stuff.
587
00:35:47.510 --> 00:35:49.570
And so now it's taken away from what your brain
588
00:35:49.789 --> 00:35:52.369
and your body should be doing is resting and sleeping
589
00:35:52.469 --> 00:35:55.090
and dreaming of fairies and unicorns.
590
00:35:55.110 --> 00:35:55.809
I don't know. The good stuff.
591
00:35:56.989 --> 00:35:59.610
So that's like, and that does make a huge difference,
592
00:35:59.670 --> 00:35:59.989
I find.
593
00:36:00.489 --> 00:36:04.130
Okay, so if I just straight up, Say, I'm going
594
00:36:04.150 --> 00:36:07.329
to eat, say, 8 o'clock. Just make it that time.
595
00:36:07.369 --> 00:36:10.690
That's when I'm going to eat my bologna sandwich. And
596
00:36:11.369 --> 00:36:11.679
that's it.
597
00:36:11.929 --> 00:36:15.039
And sometimes, you know, with kids' activities and stuff, like,
598
00:36:15.059 --> 00:36:17.719
we don't eat until 7 or 8 o'clock anyway. And
599
00:36:17.780 --> 00:36:21.940
I'm usually, I mean, I'm in bed by 11 o'clock.
600
00:36:22.659 --> 00:36:25.760
Usually aim for 10.30. Doesn't mean I'm going to sleep, but,
601
00:36:26.179 --> 00:36:28.010
you know, I'm 10.30 to 11 o'clock.
602
00:36:28.050 --> 00:36:31.280
Settling into your... Resting time. You're letting your body know
603
00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:33.559
it's time to shut down. Yeah. I see.
604
00:36:33.699 --> 00:36:35.639
Number two, I guess, is another thing that I do
605
00:36:35.699 --> 00:36:38.360
notice is like screen in front of your face.
606
00:36:38.980 --> 00:36:42.320
You know, I would say TV is not as bad.
607
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:42.760
It's not.
608
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:43.619
Right.
609
00:36:43.909 --> 00:36:48.530
And I think for me, and I don't watch, I mean, weekends,
610
00:36:48.590 --> 00:36:50.210
I'll generally watch something during the week.
611
00:36:50.289 --> 00:36:51.409
I just don't have time.
612
00:36:51.510 --> 00:36:55.730
But I do find the TV almost helps me like
613
00:36:55.769 --> 00:36:58.230
just zone out. where sometimes when I'm on my phone,
614
00:36:58.289 --> 00:37:00.170
I think it's sure it's the blue light jabbing me
615
00:37:00.210 --> 00:37:02.219
in the eyes that, yeah, that's going to keep me awake.
616
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:02.619
Yeah.
617
00:37:02.860 --> 00:37:06.940
But sometimes I almost need, I need just a TV on,
618
00:37:06.980 --> 00:37:07.539
like I'll put on.
619
00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:11.239
Like Mythbusters or something, right? Where it's like, or something
620
00:37:11.300 --> 00:37:13.199
I've like seen, you know.
621
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.619
Already where it's like, ah, it's like a comfy blanket. Yeah.
622
00:37:15.769 --> 00:37:17.590
I can just turn it off halfway through, halfway through
623
00:37:17.610 --> 00:37:21.650
an episode, mid sentence, whatever. But it's like, my brain.
624
00:37:21.369 --> 00:37:24.690
Needs to just kind of zone out for a little bit. Um,
625
00:37:25.449 --> 00:37:27.889
So some people read, you know, whatever, but then I've
626
00:37:27.929 --> 00:37:31.219
also seen some things where it's like the reading is
627
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:32.199
too stimulating.
628
00:37:32.449 --> 00:37:33.909
Yeah, you're making your brain work too hard.
629
00:37:34.139 --> 00:37:35.280
Yeah.
630
00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:38.559
So anyway, so that. The next one that I find
631
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:41.159
really helps me is magnesium.
632
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:42.519
Yeah.
633
00:37:42.780 --> 00:37:49.400
And I've tried different magnesiums, and different magnesiums do have different.
634
00:37:51.699 --> 00:37:53.260
Properties or benefits, I guess.
635
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:53.440
Yeah.
636
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:59.800
The one that I am taking, or I kind of
637
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:04.019
flip-flopped between the two, is a magnesium threonate.
638
00:38:04.659 --> 00:38:04.960
Whoa.
639
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:07.619
And a magnesium bisglycinate.
640
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:11.500
Sounds like you're feeding your crops out there.
641
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:14.159
It's probably, I mean, it probably would be good for
642
00:38:14.179 --> 00:38:15.070
the garden, too.
643
00:38:15.139 --> 00:38:15.590
Of course.
644
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:21.090
But I have found, but again, with that, it's like
645
00:38:21.110 --> 00:38:22.869
I'll try to take it a half an hour before bedtime.
646
00:38:24.110 --> 00:38:26.130
Okay, and it's just like pills? Yeah, it's just a
647
00:38:26.130 --> 00:38:29.570
little pill. Hard Cora got me some like a roll-on stuff. Oh, yeah.
648
00:38:29.590 --> 00:38:31.809
On the bottom of your feet. Yeah. I use that.
649
00:38:32.530 --> 00:38:34.489
And her Sleepy Time Tea, I crush that stuff. It's
650
00:38:34.510 --> 00:38:38.610
like the worst tasting thing ever. It's all magnesium. You
651
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:40.840
got to taste the magnesium. Oh, yeah. Like the flavor
652
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:45.039
of it. Yeah. I don't know what the, what's the
653
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:49.260
plant that would be in a tea? I'm putting you
654
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:50.900
on the spot here. Or magnesium. Is there like a
655
00:38:50.980 --> 00:38:51.960
magnesium plant?
656
00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:56.039
I don't know about that.
657
00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:58.300
There was something, there's something in there that just tastes horrible.
658
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.320
It can't be magnesium because you can't just.
659
00:39:00.530 --> 00:39:04.289
I mean, like there are herbs that will like, aside
660
00:39:04.329 --> 00:39:05.090
from magnesium.
661
00:39:05.750 --> 00:39:07.230
Yeah. That tastes horrible.
662
00:39:07.429 --> 00:39:10.030
Or I don't know, like a sleepy time tea would
663
00:39:10.050 --> 00:39:12.690
be like chamomile or like valerian.
664
00:39:12.710 --> 00:39:15.090
This is like old valerian root. Maybe that's what it was.
665
00:39:15.530 --> 00:39:19.110
It's super nasty. It's so gross. And that's a pretty strong.
666
00:39:19.690 --> 00:39:20.289
Yeah. Knockout.
667
00:39:20.309 --> 00:39:20.690
Sedative.
668
00:39:20.750 --> 00:39:21.030
Yeah.
669
00:39:21.090 --> 00:39:21.250
Like.
670
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:24.889
Can be in the herbal world. That's definitely what it was.
671
00:39:24.889 --> 00:39:28.900
Valerian root. I remember that from uh skyrim oh yes
672
00:39:29.260 --> 00:39:31.440
yeah the video game there was a valerian root in
673
00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:33.440
there yeah you had to pick them to go make
674
00:39:33.460 --> 00:39:36.059
some potion yeah i grew valerian actually last year and
675
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:37.880
then i planted some more i thought it was mythical
676
00:39:38.019 --> 00:39:39.940
yeah that's a real thing something that would have been
677
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:44.300
on uh disabilities there with fred williams yeah interesting so
678
00:39:44.340 --> 00:39:46.619
magnet so go pick up some magnesium pills is what you're.
679
00:39:47.409 --> 00:39:50.110
I, yeah, I, I mean, it has, like, there are
680
00:39:51.110 --> 00:39:54.969
multiple benefits, and then some of the different magnesiums will
681
00:39:55.250 --> 00:39:59.269
maybe be more suited to, you know, I first kind
682
00:39:59.309 --> 00:40:02.550
of started taking it probably more for, like, stiffness and soreness,
683
00:40:03.530 --> 00:40:07.989
and then, yeah, and then kind of sleep, but then that's,
684
00:40:08.030 --> 00:40:09.360
I think, maybe why I switched then.
685
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:13.690
It's a lot to take in. Yeah, yeah. This is good, though.
686
00:40:13.710 --> 00:40:17.090
Welcome to Learning About Sleeping with Uncle Mike, the Tuesday
687
00:40:17.110 --> 00:40:17.909
edition of your show.
688
00:40:19.250 --> 00:40:21.150
Also, like, cool room.
689
00:40:22.190 --> 00:40:25.110
I don't got that problem. It is freaking cold in there.
690
00:40:25.130 --> 00:40:29.469
I still haven't turned on the furnace yet. I'm pretty good. Hey,
691
00:40:29.610 --> 00:40:31.789
we were talking off air before about all the stuff
692
00:40:31.809 --> 00:40:33.929
we're doing to save money, and I'm in, like, a
693
00:40:33.969 --> 00:40:35.849
real battle right now. I got, like, a heating pad
694
00:40:36.570 --> 00:40:41.960
and a blanket. A heated blanket? No, I'm not that bothered.
695
00:40:42.099 --> 00:40:45.400
I was going to say, again, anytime you're using electrical
696
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:46.139
sources for.
697
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:47.840
Heat, it's going to be the most expensive heating.
698
00:40:47.860 --> 00:40:50.150
That's why the space heater is back in here.
699
00:40:50.190 --> 00:40:54.889
I stopped splurging. That sweet, sweet electrical heat.
700
00:40:54.909 --> 00:40:57.369
It's so nice. But the heating pad's not bad, right? Well,
701
00:40:57.690 --> 00:40:58.039
come on.
702
00:40:58.050 --> 00:40:59.050
It's still electrical heat.
703
00:40:59.590 --> 00:41:01.010
But it's a heating pad.
704
00:41:01.909 --> 00:41:03.730
I mean, it's obviously not pulling as much as a
705
00:41:04.530 --> 00:41:05.130
space heater.
706
00:41:05.150 --> 00:41:07.090
Yeah, thank you. It makes me feel a little better.
707
00:41:08.190 --> 00:41:10.199
Either way. It gets down to about 17 or 16
708
00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:13.369
in there. It's like, ooh, tonight might be the night.
709
00:41:13.409 --> 00:41:16.030
And Mars just loves it. Basking in her glory.
710
00:41:16.090 --> 00:41:16.570
Coolness.
711
00:41:16.690 --> 00:41:19.869
She's like, this is the best. Way better than 30.
712
00:41:19.869 --> 00:41:22.110
One thing I started doing a while ago was a
713
00:41:22.809 --> 00:41:25.530
sleep mask. And it doesn't have to be a sleep mask.
714
00:41:25.650 --> 00:41:28.630
I have one of those buff, you know, like the
715
00:41:28.650 --> 00:41:30.230
kind of spandex-y head mask.
716
00:41:30.250 --> 00:41:31.909
Like the ones you put on when you're flying on
717
00:41:31.929 --> 00:41:33.150
a plane? Cover your eyes?
718
00:41:33.170 --> 00:41:35.570
I'm not, like, it's not fancy like that. It's basically
719
00:41:35.590 --> 00:41:39.449
just like a bandana, but it's like a cylindrical bandana that's, like, elastic.
720
00:41:39.570 --> 00:41:43.110
I friggin' double wrap that thing, and it stays, you know,
721
00:41:43.139 --> 00:41:47.059
because it covers, like, just above my nose, and it, like,
722
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:47.820
because it's.
723
00:41:48.260 --> 00:41:49.519
Like a ninja turtle. Yeah.
724
00:41:49.739 --> 00:41:50.440
Like a ninja.
725
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:50.800
Yeah.
726
00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:51.880
That's the kind of thing.
727
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:53.940
And what are you blocking out? Isn't it dark in
728
00:41:53.980 --> 00:41:55.199
your room, or do you have too much light?
729
00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:56.280
Um.
730
00:41:56.670 --> 00:41:58.690
Well, we, on our, like, big window, we have, like,
731
00:41:58.769 --> 00:42:00.789
the pull-down shades, and then we have blackout curtains.
732
00:42:00.809 --> 00:42:02.050
Yeah, well, that's why I remember you talking about this.
733
00:42:02.070 --> 00:42:03.190
But then I still put the sleep mask on. Well,
734
00:42:03.210 --> 00:42:04.590
that's why, okay, I just wanted to make sure, because
735
00:42:04.610 --> 00:42:06.010
I remember you having to deal with it, because you
736
00:42:06.030 --> 00:42:08.030
have that giant window in the room. Yes, yeah. And
737
00:42:08.050 --> 00:42:10.610
you couldn't move. Yeah. Yes, yeah, I remember these.
738
00:42:11.179 --> 00:42:14.019
But I find, like, I, it'll be dark, but, yeah,
739
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:16.699
I mean, there's still, like, we have a weird, like,
740
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:19.960
a glass door in our bedroom door.
741
00:42:20.420 --> 00:42:20.880
Pretty baller.
742
00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:22.619
Yeah, it came with the house, I don't know.
743
00:42:23.179 --> 00:42:24.179
I also remember that, yeah.
744
00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:27.219
And then, actually, there's one on the, I don't know,
745
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:29.860
the extra room that's in our room that has another
746
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:30.840
big window in it.
747
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.159
So then light will come in there.
748
00:42:32.300 --> 00:42:34.400
Which is great. Yes, you are. Yes.
749
00:42:34.420 --> 00:42:36.480
I mean, this time of year, it's not as bad
750
00:42:36.539 --> 00:42:39.449
because we're up kind of before the sun comes up,
751
00:42:39.659 --> 00:42:41.920
you know. And you're going to bed after the sun
752
00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:44.579
goes down, obviously. But in the summer, you know, it's
753
00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:45.320
up pretty early.
754
00:42:45.340 --> 00:42:46.199
It's all different, yeah.
755
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:51.099
And I just find, yeah, any light will affect me.
756
00:42:53.340 --> 00:42:55.690
Let's see. You're a guy who's got it honed in.
757
00:42:55.929 --> 00:42:57.989
I'm just a guy trying to get by and see
758
00:42:58.010 --> 00:42:58.650
my pants here.
759
00:42:59.090 --> 00:43:02.610
I've just, I've tried a bunch of different things and
760
00:43:02.699 --> 00:43:05.820
I've just kind of, I just stick with those like, okay,
761
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:09.360
simple things like going to bed at a decent time,
762
00:43:09.420 --> 00:43:13.000
not eating, you know, not snacking after supper an hour before,
763
00:43:13.099 --> 00:43:14.000
half an hour before bed time.
764
00:43:14.019 --> 00:43:17.679
So don't order a Slurpee from 7-Eleven and some chocolate
765
00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:18.679
at three in the morning.
766
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:21.489
Maybe not the best. Maybe not the best.
767
00:43:21.530 --> 00:43:23.650
It's even worse when you finally do fall asleep in
768
00:43:23.670 --> 00:43:26.730
the chair. At like, I don't know, it must have
769
00:43:27.210 --> 00:43:29.489
been like 4.30, 5 o'clock. And you still had half
770
00:43:29.530 --> 00:43:30.960
a Slurpee left. Did you spill your Slurpee? Well, no,
771
00:43:31.030 --> 00:43:32.989
I didn't spill it. I felt it now. Exactly. I
772
00:43:33.030 --> 00:43:36.010
wake up like, oh, I'm thirsty with my Slurpee. And
773
00:43:36.030 --> 00:43:39.130
then I hit it. Oh, man, it's not even Slurpee. Yeah.
774
00:43:39.449 --> 00:43:40.750
Just strawberry lemonade.
775
00:43:40.889 --> 00:43:44.260
And honestly, I, like when I'm at home, I'm pretty good.
776
00:43:44.380 --> 00:43:46.719
I was in Canmore working last week.
777
00:43:46.860 --> 00:43:48.619
Yeah, shout out. Yeah.
778
00:43:48.739 --> 00:43:51.019
Gibby made us our last night. We went for a
779
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:53.719
hot tub. I got some laps in because I missed
780
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:55.739
water polo. So I was swimming in the pool.
781
00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:58.409
Do you have any targets set up? No, I didn't.
782
00:43:58.429 --> 00:44:00.329
I was just swimming. Just swimming some laps.
783
00:44:00.570 --> 00:44:02.949
But so Gibby did this like great, you know, we
784
00:44:02.969 --> 00:44:05.090
pick up some ribeyes before we left town.
785
00:44:05.130 --> 00:44:07.380
So he did the ribeyes. He did potatoes.
786
00:44:07.420 --> 00:44:10.139
You know, he did garlic bread. We had Caesar salad.
787
00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:11.039
Like the whole thing.
788
00:44:11.940 --> 00:44:14.809
But by the time we were done work, and you
789
00:44:14.829 --> 00:44:17.090
know went for a little hot tub and a swim
790
00:44:17.179 --> 00:44:19.079
and got everything fired up and by the time we're
791
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:21.860
eating it was probably 10 o'clock you know 9 30
792
00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:25.900
10 o'clock yeah and i freaking woke up just like
793
00:44:25.980 --> 00:44:27.420
and we and it's funny because i woke up i
794
00:44:27.420 --> 00:44:29.579
was like that was supposed to be the best sleep
795
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:31.989
you know and it was the worst sleep i had
796
00:44:32.030 --> 00:44:34.210
had all week and it was probably the longest sleep
797
00:44:34.269 --> 00:44:34.789
i had had.
798
00:44:34.670 --> 00:44:36.809
All week just a long horrible sleep.
799
00:44:36.630 --> 00:44:39.250
Yeah and and i wake up and and gibby was
800
00:44:39.269 --> 00:44:41.260
kind of like dude, I don't know what, but I
801
00:44:41.300 --> 00:44:42.980
slept terrible. And then Sean comes on.
802
00:44:42.980 --> 00:44:44.519
He's like, man, that was the worst sleep. I'm like,
803
00:44:44.699 --> 00:44:44.980
I know.
804
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:48.409
And I think it's like, because we probably ate at 1030,
805
00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:50.199
you know, and it was, you know, we were probably
806
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:52.960
in bed by midnight, 1230, but it was a, it
807
00:44:52.980 --> 00:44:54.659
was a bit, it was delicious, but it was a.
808
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:56.059
Big kind of heavy meal.
809
00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:59.400
And that was the only thing that was really different.
810
00:44:59.420 --> 00:45:00.880
I mean, we, we, you know, we sat in the
811
00:45:00.900 --> 00:45:02.579
hot tub for a little bit. So that I think
812
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:05.860
would have encouraged a better sleep. But for some reason
813
00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:07.889
we all just woke up and like, was there like
814
00:45:07.909 --> 00:45:10.960
a carbon, carbon monoxide leak, you know, in the, in
815
00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:11.760
the night or something?
816
00:45:11.780 --> 00:45:12.960
Cause yeah, it was like.
817
00:45:13.019 --> 00:45:16.320
Just groggy and yeah, it was just, it was kind
818
00:45:16.340 --> 00:45:16.760
of weird.
819
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:20.199
So, but that again, like kind of reiterates how much
820
00:45:20.619 --> 00:45:24.039
eating late affects me and the difference between not eating
821
00:45:24.099 --> 00:45:24.760
late and.
822
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:28.340
Totally. And that's, that's another thing too, is like, I'm
823
00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:30.789
doing all of the things you say that I shouldn't do,
824
00:45:31.070 --> 00:45:35.179
you know? And the fact I'm, Like it all makes sense.
825
00:45:35.469 --> 00:45:37.010
It's the worst when you're aware of it and you
826
00:45:37.070 --> 00:45:40.690
try everything and still it's like these things you have
827
00:45:40.750 --> 00:45:42.590
to be, it's like when you get pills from the doctor,
828
00:45:42.610 --> 00:45:44.090
you have to take the whole thing and you have
829
00:45:44.110 --> 00:45:45.269
to make sure you're doing it every day at the
830
00:45:45.289 --> 00:45:46.929
same time, all this stuff. Like if you're not doing
831
00:45:47.030 --> 00:45:48.530
all this properly, it doesn't even matter.
832
00:45:48.750 --> 00:45:48.889
Yeah.
833
00:45:49.369 --> 00:45:55.449
And I do find sometimes those, it's like the simple solution,
834
00:45:55.469 --> 00:45:57.940
you know, it's like, Well, yeah, I could take melatonin.
835
00:45:58.000 --> 00:45:59.599
I could take the sleepy time tea.
836
00:45:59.699 --> 00:46:02.059
I can do this. It's like, no, just fricking like
837
00:46:02.380 --> 00:46:04.739
make sure it's dark. Don't eat, you know, like those
838
00:46:04.780 --> 00:46:07.610
simple things that don't cost anything. Start with the basic stuff.
839
00:46:07.630 --> 00:46:11.889
So I'm trying to throw money at it. Yes. Very smart. Yeah. Very,
840
00:46:11.909 --> 00:46:12.530
very smart.
841
00:46:12.630 --> 00:46:15.449
Even drinking water late. Like don't drink water. Cause then
842
00:46:15.489 --> 00:46:16.989
I wake up at two or three in the morning.
843
00:46:17.010 --> 00:46:17.949
I was like, I got to take a leak.
844
00:46:18.170 --> 00:46:24.519
Right. Yeah. Welcome to healing. This is the healing edition
845
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:28.050
of your show. The Tuesday edition. Also, the All That
846
00:46:28.110 --> 00:46:29.900
Angst edition. There's a lot of things here. No With
847
00:46:29.940 --> 00:46:35.099
Me Andy today has an anniversary. Happy anniversary to With
848
00:46:35.139 --> 00:46:38.019
Me Andy and his beautiful wife, Amelia, as they will
849
00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:42.260
be celebrating. So he is not around, and it's just
850
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:44.400
you and I hanging out, talking about the sleep issues.
851
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:48.110
We played you a little snippet from episode two of
852
00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:53.650
Learning L.D. Smelty's Disability. It's hard to get through.
853
00:46:53.829 --> 00:46:54.730
That's a mouthful.
854
00:46:55.030 --> 00:46:58.449
And it's not lost on me that it's about these things,
855
00:46:58.489 --> 00:47:02.150
about being able to say words and read and all
856
00:47:02.190 --> 00:47:06.349
these things, as it is Disabilities Awareness Month all of October.
857
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:10.800
And we bounced off that a little bit into this
858
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:14.019
as a real lack of sleeping lately, and we're really groggy,
859
00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:17.739
really foggy, trying to get through the day. And this guy,
860
00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:20.940
this guy does a lot of self-care, so it's always
861
00:47:20.980 --> 00:47:23.530
nice to bounce stuff off of him. And if you
862
00:47:23.550 --> 00:47:25.769
have sleeping problems, a bunch of tips right there for
863
00:47:25.869 --> 00:47:30.030
you to also implement into your sleeping schedule.
864
00:47:30.309 --> 00:47:31.690
Also, I am not a doctor.
865
00:47:31.829 --> 00:47:34.719
Yeah, definitely. Definitely not a doctor. But you do work
866
00:47:34.739 --> 00:47:36.260
a lot with all of these things.
867
00:47:36.780 --> 00:47:40.900
Based on personal experience, I have no qualifications whatsoever.
868
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:43.099
We say that a lot around here. I don't think
869
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:43.480
people know.
870
00:47:43.500 --> 00:47:45.219
You need a big disclaimer to go off.
871
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:47.489
People know where the experts are. They know, like, we're
872
00:47:47.530 --> 00:47:49.840
just here. I say it all the time. If you
873
00:47:49.889 --> 00:47:53.309
need experts, if you need pros, professionals who do everything, 100,000%
874
00:47:53.309 --> 00:47:55.949
and all that, there's a billion of them out there
875
00:47:55.989 --> 00:47:58.829
for you. They're everywhere. If you want to just go
876
00:47:58.869 --> 00:48:01.590
to a place where you're not going to get told
877
00:48:01.670 --> 00:48:06.789
who to vote for, who to pray to, or you're just,
878
00:48:07.429 --> 00:48:10.710
you want to be a real piece of garbage for clicks,
879
00:48:10.730 --> 00:48:12.530
because all it is, people say all the time, it's
880
00:48:12.590 --> 00:48:16.000
always for clicks. We're the anti that. We're going to
881
00:48:16.969 --> 00:48:18.650
Tell you about our friends at Tell a Miracle. We're
882
00:48:18.670 --> 00:48:21.829
going to talk about sleeping issues. We're going to do
883
00:48:22.170 --> 00:48:24.010
a lot of fun things that will make you smile.
884
00:48:24.070 --> 00:48:26.449
That's what this place is all about. So that also
885
00:48:26.489 --> 00:48:28.949
includes our Twitch stream, as you can see. Anyone always
886
00:48:28.989 --> 00:48:37.019
makes us smile? Right here. Burned pizza. Oh, that was
887
00:48:37.059 --> 00:48:41.159
another good one. I'm getting it. I'm almost dead on it. Best...
888
00:48:41.460 --> 00:48:44.309
In the biz when it comes to those delicious pizza pies.
889
00:48:44.469 --> 00:48:47.710
Fall season saver on right now. That's 12-inch Vern's Light.
890
00:48:48.090 --> 00:48:50.030
You know the Vern's Thick. The Vern's Light takes all
891
00:48:50.050 --> 00:48:54.429
that thick. There's a flavor bomb. They're so, so delicious.
892
00:48:54.449 --> 00:48:58.829
Totally different pizzeria. You get that along with a box
893
00:48:58.869 --> 00:49:00.489
of curly fries and a two-liter pop for just $ 26.
894
00:49:00.409 --> 00:49:04.980
It's the best deal in the history of anything, anywhere, ever.
895
00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:08.099
And so, so good. We have the A.A. Ron's Delight.
896
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:11.619
which is another, I would say it was Phenom's favorite
897
00:49:11.659 --> 00:49:15.369
pizza before the Inferno chicken came along. So it's very,
898
00:49:15.409 --> 00:49:17.940
very good. And you watch the stream on Fridays. We
899
00:49:18.059 --> 00:49:21.039
got into Earthbound this past Friday, which is very exciting.
900
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:25.059
And the pizza. So we show it to you, and
901
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:26.389
we open it up, and you see all of it.
902
00:49:26.619 --> 00:49:29.019
They're always so freaking good. And we have to buy
903
00:49:29.059 --> 00:49:32.119
slices for the boys beforehand. So before we stream, everyone
904
00:49:32.139 --> 00:49:35.050
crushes their slices from the hot spinner. Because you've got
905
00:49:35.070 --> 00:49:38.989
to get thick, right? And then we go into... the
906
00:49:39.090 --> 00:49:41.190
amazing meal and show it off. And it's so, so
907
00:49:41.230 --> 00:49:43.690
much fun playing the video games, having fun, just like
908
00:49:43.710 --> 00:49:47.469
we used to growing up and eating all that delicious pizza. Again,
909
00:49:47.489 --> 00:49:52.699
the fall season saver on right now. 26 bucks. Pizza,
910
00:49:52.739 --> 00:49:58.659
curly fries, a two liter pot. That's all right. We
911
00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:02.619
love you, Burns. I know. It feels like it should
912
00:50:02.699 --> 00:50:05.380
really do a dance. We're going to get on. We're
913
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.389
going to make her dance. Thank you to the Twitch
914
00:50:08.409 --> 00:50:10.690
stream website. We're going to hit it again. I hit
915
00:50:10.710 --> 00:50:15.789
it off the start by accident. Again, live. When you're live, live.
916
00:50:15.989 --> 00:50:19.500
You know what I'm saying? Stuffordab.com. With me, Andy. Made it.
917
00:50:19.530 --> 00:50:25.590
He's got a YouTube show called Zoom This Friday. With me, Andy.
918
00:50:26.570 --> 00:50:28.130
Every Friday they used to come out. He's on a
919
00:50:28.130 --> 00:50:30.369
little hiatus right now, doing a little transformation as he
920
00:50:30.409 --> 00:50:35.630
continues to chase his creative flow, which I really appreciate.
921
00:50:35.650 --> 00:50:38.030
That's what the whole place is all about. Shout out
922
00:50:38.070 --> 00:50:41.210
to that man right there. I guess we can sing
923
00:50:41.230 --> 00:50:43.639
now too. Man, I was worried. Like I told Uncle
924
00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:47.880
Mike before, before we went on, we can stop a
925
00:50:47.900 --> 00:50:50.159
little early too if I hadn't gotten up in the tank,
926
00:50:50.179 --> 00:50:54.380
you know, because I've run down. I think I've missed
927
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:58.000
three episodes. And this is like 600 something, which is
928
00:50:58.059 --> 00:51:00.079
pretty crazy. Good numbers. That's insane.
929
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:01.119
Good percentage, I think.
930
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:05.239
Lots of people get those days off. And Unfortunately, as
931
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:07.639
you know, it doesn't happen a lot when you're really
932
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:12.730
in it. It's crazy to think that we're going to
933
00:51:12.750 --> 00:51:15.210
do a full show. I was fully expecting to just
934
00:51:15.250 --> 00:51:19.130
be like, conk, and done. Okay. Are we going to
935
00:51:19.150 --> 00:51:19.349
do this?
936
00:51:19.369 --> 00:51:20.789
Time flies when you're having fun.
937
00:51:21.329 --> 00:51:23.409
It does, hey? It happens a lot.
938
00:51:24.389 --> 00:51:26.440
Take over. Do the old Wilson.
939
00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:32.579
Yoo-hoo! Well, I was thinking Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Menace,
940
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:35.579
but Wilson from Tool Time. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, that's pretty good.
941
00:51:36.500 --> 00:51:37.840
It's so weird that you can't see my face, though.
942
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:39.320
Well, maybe.
943
00:51:39.380 --> 00:51:44.539
I wonder if I can make it. Yeah, I'm in
944
00:51:44.579 --> 00:51:46.940
front of the graphics. All right. Let's get to it.
945
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:50.599
That's the other thing. The eyes, like, when you don't sleep,
946
00:51:50.860 --> 00:51:54.039
the eyes go so scratchy, and the voice gets raspy,
947
00:51:54.059 --> 00:51:55.889
and then the nose gets runny. It's all these things. Man.
948
00:51:57.500 --> 00:52:00.489
Put it together, dawg. You want to be a part
949
00:52:00.510 --> 00:52:04.250
of this thing? You want to walk around and notice
950
00:52:04.289 --> 00:52:06.840
people putting others before themselves, treating others how you want
951
00:52:06.860 --> 00:52:10.739
to be treated, making golden rules. Cool again. That's what
952
00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:12.840
we're all about here. All about making people smile in
953
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:18.780
a world where everyone's just, money, money, this, we're angry,
954
00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:21.130
all that. We want to give you a place to
955
00:52:21.139 --> 00:52:25.190
get away from that. You're sick of the big corporations
956
00:52:25.789 --> 00:52:29.610
taking over everything, making it even harder for everybody. You're
957
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:32.320
one of us. Reach out to us. Let us know
958
00:52:32.340 --> 00:52:33.820
what you got going on. Maybe you're like our friends
959
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:37.000
at TeleMiracle. We'll get to that. That's the show here
960
00:52:37.019 --> 00:52:40.340
because it's really, really cool. They got it. Okay. We're
961
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:42.820
going to sing the song now because I'm going to
962
00:52:42.840 --> 00:52:50.460
keep going. If we don't, just send an email to... One, two, three, four.
963
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:55.820
Contact at duffernab.com. That is the email. This is the
964
00:52:55.889 --> 00:53:03.949
theme song. I didn't torque the finish like I normally do.
965
00:53:03.969 --> 00:53:05.010
That's okay. I was waiting.
966
00:53:05.070 --> 00:53:06.230
I know you were. I left it open. I know.
967
00:53:06.250 --> 00:53:08.230
Just wanted to see if there's going to be some improv.
968
00:53:08.289 --> 00:53:10.730
We were communicating very well there without even saying a word.
969
00:53:11.070 --> 00:53:12.389
I improvised on the triangle.
970
00:53:12.449 --> 00:53:14.789
Dude, this. Yeah, great job, by the way. Great job.
971
00:53:15.050 --> 00:53:21.010
That right there. The Telemerical 51 Youth Host Search. On now.
972
00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:21.820
That's cool.
973
00:53:22.139 --> 00:53:28.159
Officially open. I've been using the comparison of STB Kids
974
00:53:28.179 --> 00:53:31.730
TV back in the day when I won the city-wide audition. ooh,
975
00:53:31.750 --> 00:53:34.820
this is crazy. And it got me sort of thinking about,
976
00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:36.619
because at the same time I realized I wasn't going
977
00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:40.940
to be a pro sports athlete. One dream gets shattered,
978
00:53:41.239 --> 00:53:43.380
a new dream opens. And it was all because of
979
00:53:43.420 --> 00:53:47.280
this audition to get on that. And even though I
980
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:52.820
did one report and then it folded, still gave the itch.
981
00:53:53.699 --> 00:53:56.110
And now fast forward all these years later and we're
982
00:53:56.130 --> 00:53:58.670
in this beautiful place doing our thing. That's what they
983
00:53:58.690 --> 00:54:01.360
got going on right We're looking for a youth host.
984
00:54:01.929 --> 00:54:05.929
You make a little video, audition video, and send it
985
00:54:06.010 --> 00:54:09.610
in 60 to 90 seconds. And then whoever wins gets
986
00:54:09.650 --> 00:54:13.409
to go. Spend a day with our buddy Sabine at
987
00:54:13.590 --> 00:54:16.929
CTV Regina, which is crazy. Spend a day here with
988
00:54:17.050 --> 00:54:20.369
us co-hosting your show, which is going to be fantastic.
989
00:54:20.969 --> 00:54:24.559
As well, co-hosting the Backstage Lounge with Shaylin and Justine
990
00:54:24.579 --> 00:54:27.340
and I. And so much more. You're also getting a
991
00:54:27.460 --> 00:54:30.329
full recording session kit for you to do your own stuff.
992
00:54:31.250 --> 00:54:35.349
It's an incredible, incredible idea. And I'm so all about
993
00:54:35.389 --> 00:54:38.869
this because, again, this is what, like, this works. This
994
00:54:38.889 --> 00:54:42.550
gets people into it. And to have a youth correspondent
995
00:54:42.630 --> 00:54:44.630
for something like this is going to be so valuable.
996
00:54:44.969 --> 00:54:48.309
And whoever wins it, it's going to be so sweet. Yeah.
997
00:54:48.469 --> 00:54:50.530
So they're going to get to see all the setup stuff, everything.
998
00:54:50.590 --> 00:54:54.050
It's all there. Telemerical.com is where you can go for
999
00:54:54.090 --> 00:54:55.949
all the other info. But you're seeing a bunch of stuff.
1000
00:54:55.969 --> 00:55:00.300
We've got all this stuff going on. As the launch is, well,
1001
00:55:00.780 --> 00:55:03.820
that thing is launched now. But our next phase being
1002
00:55:04.019 --> 00:55:07.059
the Mini Miracle, which is going on November 20th and
1003
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:10.480
21st in the beautiful Watrous on the horse hair dance
1004
00:55:10.519 --> 00:55:14.349
floor of Dance Land. It's going to be a fantastic time. Friday,
1005
00:55:14.389 --> 00:55:16.750
there it is. Look at that. Friday, you got a girl, Heidi,
1006
00:55:16.789 --> 00:55:19.210
from the show. And East Side of Second will be
1007
00:55:19.230 --> 00:55:22.349
your headliner. And then Saturday, Brock Andrews and our buddies
1008
00:55:22.389 --> 00:55:24.590
in Prairie Gamble will be there doing their thing. And
1009
00:55:24.610 --> 00:55:28.110
on the Saturday show as well, The backstage lounge will
1010
00:55:28.130 --> 00:55:30.929
be present. Margaret will be there. I'll be there. Christine
1011
00:55:30.949 --> 00:55:32.409
will be there. Shaylin will be there. And we're going
1012
00:55:32.429 --> 00:55:33.630
to do a little thing. I'm not sure what it
1013
00:55:33.690 --> 00:55:34.809
is yet, but we're going to be a part of
1014
00:55:34.849 --> 00:55:38.190
that overnight recording that plays between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m.
1015
00:55:38.289 --> 00:55:42.409
So it's going to be very, very cool to be
1016
00:55:42.449 --> 00:55:44.920
a part of that. Come join us. A lot of fun.
1017
00:55:45.340 --> 00:55:48.280
Be on TV. Do your thing. It'll be a fantastic time.
1018
00:55:48.300 --> 00:55:52.139
And again, it's Telemerical, man. You know, everyone, just any
1019
00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:55.340
time you go to any of these events, it's just,
1020
00:55:55.940 --> 00:55:59.639
An absolutely fantastic film.
1021
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:02.019
Is the dance floor just called the Horse Hair Dance?
1022
00:56:02.059 --> 00:56:03.679
No, it's... It's made out of horse.
1023
00:56:03.920 --> 00:56:04.199
Okay.
1024
00:56:04.340 --> 00:56:06.860
Yeah. That's their big claim to fame at Dance Land.
1025
00:56:06.889 --> 00:56:09.969
I think it's the only one in the world. It's
1026
00:56:09.989 --> 00:56:12.690
a pretty big deal. Yeah. So, come on out to
1027
00:56:12.750 --> 00:56:16.210
Dance Land and hang out. Do some recording and all
1028
00:56:16.230 --> 00:56:18.969
the fun stuff as we get ever closer. And then
1029
00:56:18.989 --> 00:56:23.519
we got the karaoke, the Pow City Karaoke. And I
1030
00:56:23.539 --> 00:56:26.369
think I got wrangled into that. Nice. I don't know.
1031
00:56:26.670 --> 00:56:30.170
I like the karaoke. I'm a big fan of the karaoke.
1032
00:56:30.409 --> 00:56:32.469
I will, I have a little thing at my house
1033
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:35.559
and I will just sit in the corner and pull
1034
00:56:35.639 --> 00:56:36.739
up karaoke songs.
1035
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:38.079
And you know what's cool?
1036
00:56:38.699 --> 00:56:42.659
With technology these days, you can find like music we like.
1037
00:56:42.780 --> 00:56:43.159
Yeah.
1038
00:56:43.559 --> 00:56:44.739
Like there's punk rock karaoke.
1039
00:56:44.969 --> 00:56:45.280
Of course.
1040
00:56:45.550 --> 00:56:46.989
So I pull those up and I sing them to
1041
00:56:47.010 --> 00:56:49.489
the kids and then they kind of get like Okay, dad,
1042
00:56:49.510 --> 00:56:50.840
I'm going to go do something else now.
1043
00:56:50.980 --> 00:56:52.880
And I'm like, what about another song? That's how you
1044
00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:55.420
get to leave me alone. Yeah.
1045
00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:57.639
That's pretty good. Speaking of music.
1046
00:56:57.659 --> 00:56:58.940
Are you going to help me with karaoke?
1047
00:57:00.300 --> 00:57:01.300
Well, I don't know. Maybe.
1048
00:57:01.800 --> 00:57:03.500
Okay. I'm just going to, I get wrangled in. I'm
1049
00:57:03.519 --> 00:57:04.340
going to wrangle you in too.
1050
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:04.760
Maybe.
1051
00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:05.280
Okay.
1052
00:57:05.420 --> 00:57:06.659
We'll talk. Music announcement.
1053
00:57:06.739 --> 00:57:11.590
I like singing karaoke by myself. Sometimes I'm not as, honestly,
1054
00:57:11.630 --> 00:57:13.409
when we were in Canmore, we went out for a
1055
00:57:13.409 --> 00:57:16.719
couple of drinks and it was like karaoke night. But
1056
00:57:16.739 --> 00:57:18.260
there were so many people on the list that we
1057
00:57:18.420 --> 00:57:18.960
never even got.
1058
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:19.860
So huge. I know. You can't get in.
1059
00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:22.489
I never actually submitted my name, but it just seemed
1060
00:57:22.510 --> 00:57:24.110
like there was one after another. It's like, oh, man,
1061
00:57:24.170 --> 00:57:26.110
we're going to be here all night. Gibby submitted his
1062
00:57:26.150 --> 00:57:27.650
name and never got called up. I was like, well,
1063
00:57:27.670 --> 00:57:28.920
if I submit, then I'm definitely not.
1064
00:57:28.929 --> 00:57:31.550
It's like whiskey jacks all over again. What the heck, man?
1065
00:57:31.670 --> 00:57:34.119
Ridiculous. But speaking about music.
1066
00:57:35.460 --> 00:57:37.719
Hold on. I'm going to get Frankie to play underneath
1067
00:57:37.739 --> 00:57:40.960
you because you told me there's a big announcement. Big announcement.
1068
00:57:40.980 --> 00:57:43.599
And you said I should be excited. I would hope
1069
00:57:43.699 --> 00:57:44.679
people aren't excited.
1070
00:57:44.699 --> 00:57:45.340
Okay, you're ready.
1071
00:57:45.539 --> 00:57:48.039
Nathan and I were very excited. I was in Canmore.
1072
00:57:48.099 --> 00:57:50.139
I got a text from him. He sent me an image,
1073
00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:52.239
and he's like, dude, I bought us tickets already.
1074
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:52.949
Huh.
1075
00:57:53.389 --> 00:57:55.590
So a band that I never thought.
1076
00:57:55.409 --> 00:57:58.750
I would see, been listening to them since I was 12,
1077
00:57:58.750 --> 00:58:02.449
13 years old, Screeching Weasel.
1078
00:58:02.590 --> 00:58:07.510
No. Yes. No, no. Cal Sherman? I haven't yet. Oh,
1079
00:58:07.550 --> 00:58:08.230
my God.
1080
00:58:08.409 --> 00:58:11.280
It was... What? I had planned to call him. Calgary.
1081
00:58:11.940 --> 00:58:12.219
March.
1082
00:58:12.889 --> 00:58:15.420
It's a Saturday.
1083
00:58:16.539 --> 00:58:18.940
At the Arrowhead?
1084
00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:20.300
Doesn't matter.
1085
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:21.420
Yeah, I don't know.
1086
00:58:21.619 --> 00:58:24.809
Ben Weasel's still there? Yeah. Oh, man. I know. You
1087
00:58:24.829 --> 00:58:26.829
think they're going to make it to Calgary? Well, that's
1088
00:58:26.849 --> 00:58:29.849
the hope. In case you don't know, Ben Weasel, not
1089
00:58:29.889 --> 00:58:34.199
the best dude in the world. Stuff to work with and, yeah,
1090
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:35.500
cancel a couple tours.
1091
00:58:37.230 --> 00:58:39.530
I'm assuming now he can cross borders.
1092
00:58:39.989 --> 00:58:41.789
That was the other thing, yeah. There's a lot going
1093
00:58:41.829 --> 00:58:44.670
on with Screech and Weesh. But, again, like... Oh, man,
1094
00:58:44.849 --> 00:58:45.690
come on.
1095
00:58:45.929 --> 00:58:48.679
I just never thought I would see.
1096
00:58:48.699 --> 00:58:50.900
Dude, no, of course. They're not supposed to. They've been
1097
00:58:50.940 --> 00:58:52.280
broken up like a million times.
1098
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:55.920
And it's weird because there's no other Canadian dates. Like, really,
1099
00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:58.500
the only way to find out about it was actually
1100
00:58:58.579 --> 00:59:01.500
through the venue. Like, the venue made an announcement or
1101
00:59:01.539 --> 00:59:01.659
a post.
1102
00:59:01.679 --> 00:59:04.449
Yeah, a little thing, yeah. So I haven't seen any
1103
00:59:04.489 --> 00:59:07.699
other dates. I mean, they might end up playing in Saskatoon.
1104
00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:07.829
But.
1105
00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:08.820
They're getting this cover.
1106
00:59:08.860 --> 00:59:09.440
That's so sad.
1107
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:09.820
I don't know.
1108
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:13.599
Oh, dude. Sherman's going to lose it. That's one of those.
1109
00:59:14.059 --> 00:59:15.940
You can't tell them. I'm going to call them.
1110
00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:19.139
I won't ruin it. Hey, suburbia. Hey, suburbia. Hey, suburbia.
1111
00:59:19.179 --> 00:59:19.969
We're in love with you.
1112
00:59:20.550 --> 00:59:21.489
Dude.
1113
00:59:21.789 --> 00:59:26.829
And there is... Apparently, they are touring with the queers
1114
00:59:27.090 --> 00:59:27.670
in the States.
1115
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:29.420
Chance you could see the queers.
1116
00:59:29.659 --> 00:59:31.059
Yes.
1117
00:59:31.159 --> 00:59:32.920
So the queers came through a couple years ago and
1118
00:59:32.940 --> 00:59:33.780
I saw them here in town.
1119
00:59:33.800 --> 00:59:34.179
Yes, you did.
1120
00:59:34.280 --> 00:59:36.059
But that was another band that I never thought I'd see.
1121
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:38.860
And then it's like, okay, if queers and Screeching Weasel
1122
00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:42.690
play together in Calgary, that would be amazing.
1123
00:59:42.929 --> 00:59:48.690
March? March 13th? Yep. Go book it. Oh, man. And
1124
00:59:48.710 --> 00:59:51.449
this all goes back to the whole thing. It's like, now,
1125
00:59:51.829 --> 00:59:54.230
how do we find that way? How do we find
1126
00:59:54.289 --> 00:59:58.730
our way to that road? We always... Dude, thank you
1127
00:59:58.769 --> 01:00:02.269
so much. Greatly, greatly appreciate you as always. Big thanks
1128
01:00:02.289 --> 01:00:05.849
to Brett Williams. Check out episode two of Disabilities, Swissabilities,
1129
01:00:06.050 --> 01:00:09.070
as it is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month. It'll get you
1130
01:00:09.750 --> 01:00:12.800
all caught up with what all that means and we'll
1131
01:00:12.820 --> 01:00:16.840
all move forward together. It's Reaching Weasel. Coming to Canada. Gallagher.
1132
01:00:17.639 --> 01:00:19.360
What a great way to end the show. Thank you
1133
01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:21.920
so much to you as always for supporting this crazy
1134
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:24.619
little movement. It means the world. Keep doing those good things,
1135
01:00:24.679 --> 01:00:28.849
all right? I promise you they are working. And tomorrow,
1136
01:00:29.050 --> 01:00:30.789
all the way around today, we'll get back into some
1137
01:00:31.289 --> 01:00:35.210
MLB playoffs. It'll be a lot of fun. Until then,
1138
01:00:35.510 --> 01:00:37.989
love you so dang much. This guy's got a catchphrase,
1139
01:00:38.030 --> 01:00:39.050
and he's going to say it for you now.
1140
01:00:39.670 --> 01:00:40.690
Mail you later.
1141
01:00:41.150 --> 01:00:43.260
Take care. Have a great Tuesday.
