Oh yeah.. we do. Yeah, we like it. Yeah. I went to O J's gave me and it was fun. Nice. Yeah Is' All the Canadians come down and then you get to see the Seattle people get pretty bad Oh sureot down there. Yeah, but they also put a terriff on it They jack up the prices for Canadian. Really? Yeah, it's like double Jesus, So even the Seattle people who are there, they're mad that they dumble just because a bunch of Canadians showed up Wa Seattle people also have to pay double? Yeah, they ou to pay double. Oh boy. ye, this is that surge pricing I've been hearing about. Jesus So we went to our local baseball We went to our local baseball squadron, the Vancouver Canadians. they were playing against the dastardly Eugene Emerald. I hate them so much And I didn't realize that I was going on a Tuesday. Okay, which is seventy five percent hot dog day, you know. W. Yeah, that's big Giving Costco run for the money. Yeah, se So and these are standard dogs? These are standard dogs. How are the buns on these things? Buns are soft as an angel's butt Um And are we talking are these on the grill? These are on No these are in a in these I don't know where they're generally coming from So there was like you get into the stadium and it's immediately chaos because the line to get hot dogs is going past where they have the like stanions. Yeah, yeah yeah. And so people are like curving around. You have to cut through the line to get where you're going And it's stressed routine at the end. it was like mo to my eyeballs And it wasn't going fast because you get to the front of the line and you're like, yeah, I'll take eight hot dogs. Yeah. and like they'll hand you eight hot dogs really fast. But while you're you've been waiting in line so long, you're like, well, also get a few beers. I'll get sure everything down. And so the line isn't going fast at all And I So I didn't get hot dog immediately. Okay I was like, Oh I'll wait until the line dies down. Now were the rest of the families also getting were they all getting dogs? I didn't go with my family. You went by yourself? I went with my friend. And did you guys both get hot dogs? No, my friend is a vegan. Okay, so then no hot dogs. You're the sole hot dog provider. Yeah. And so I went I like Honestly the land was so long that I was like, you're gonna be in line for three innings. Yeah get a hot dog And So I was like, oh well, there's like a lesser Area. I saw that they were sort of like moving hot dogs to every concession stands like places that don't normally sell hot dogs, like they had a little sort of like heat bag full of hot dogs. even like customer info has. But they were constantly running out and you know, the shorter lines people would just give up because They ran out of hot dog. They must have really miscalculated how many hot dogs people would want on seventy five percent And then I was like 'cause someone had told me Oh just they bring them around like there's Uh Yeah, there's that kind of guy. Yeah U I saw one of those guys, the whole stadium and he was just being swarmed swwarmed. And so I joined that swarm And he was like twelve years old. throw a handful of change. I want my dog. And that's the thing too is everybody you got to make change. Nobbody's giing exact change. Everybody's givingans it's tap U Oh, it's all happen sure. And so you know, you to do a little soft shoe U But so I found this kid. Yeah. and he has a sign saying like maximum four hot dogs I eighteen inches of. The people in front of me were like, well what if what if we were like a party of? Four people, C we get sixteen dogs? Yeah, yeah, you can do that And the kid in front of me was like, Well, last time you told me, I could only get Anyway, so I was like this is like absolute bedlam. Yeah. And I got to the front of the line and I was like, Ohh I get two hot dogs. and then I ate them so fast and I' like h shouldould have pushed it to the limit. And so we sat, we watched the game Uh and thinking about hot dogs the whole time. kindind of. Well people were carrying like Like people are standing in line with, you know, like just like an empty box because they're gonna to fill it with hot dogs. Yeah. And so you see people walking by, people dropping hot dogs and just leaving them. It's fine just I justust imagine the cleanup from that many hot dogs, just mustard as far as the I can see. That's a sloppy dog clog. But the yeah, and so aboutb you know, being a dog. you know mine are going crazy up there Um So and we did not do well. We were we were down five cares. It's hot dog night.. Everybody wins. But you remember we had kids. We talked about theres those po k. There's this guy on the home dude. Vancouver Canadians named Peyton Williams, I want to say. Okay. And his nickname, Do you remember his nickname You in the last few weeks Oh was it Is it ketchup or something wasas it whoo is it that you' do? T years ago, there was a gu named Caleb Ketatchchup on the team. U But now his name is there was also a guy on the team named Dub Gleed. Yeah. he's gone now. Oh whatate happened. I think it's a good thing. Oh you get called up But we have this guy now who is enormous. He's like standing with all the other players. He plays first base Peyton Williams He's standing with all of them and he's like ahead taller than all of them. Oh and big Like like a big bruiser. Big in every way. Okay. And he is his nickname is the Iowa Meat truck Jesus. right. That's a great nickname. He bats third in the lineup. He's you know a power hitter. he hits for u I bet he has a good slugging percentage sure his box score through the room and this guy is an American trader to this Canadian team, but you think he's destined for better things because he's he's a mammoth. They all are. like none no one on the team is like sent down on their way down. It's got to be a guy. There is but like they don't like We're at such a low league. Yeah. They'll send you down from the majors to AAA, but they won't send you down to single A. They won't put you down to a high school team. Yeah. If you have a bad game, you have to sell the hot dogs. Oh yeah, yeah, a of a big A could sell a lot of hot dogs. Well look what they did for him. Like those old milk commercials. Yeah you're you want to be big and strong. So we're down five nothing in the in the sixth inning We score a run Still we're down five one. And then in the last two innings, we make a little rally and who hits the winning RBI? It's got to be the Iowa meat train. It's mister Mat trained train. The crowd goes wild. D they h dogs in the sky. Ran about the seventh inning. I found that kid again. He finally stopped being swarmed after seven innings and started making the round I was like two hot dogs, Yeah. Maximum four You gave them to me and they were ice cold. Yeah, I would imagine Um this do they have like something on the screen for the Iowa meeat truck like they really got to go or something. They really need like a u A song. Yeah. Yeah.

This was at your parents house in the backyard or I can give you the full give us the fullull rundown. It came upon me by accident. these bees were thrust upon me. These bees were eating a giant pot ofani. and I swarmed and I was like they're their leader now. I used to be a gardener and I was working at the P andE. I was a reedseal garder Bees when the red seal mean? Yeah. It's like, you know, like Mario level plumbing. You're like the best Oh ye, you're like Oh like a red sealed chef. Yeah, like a red seal. You really are a red sealed gardener. You can do that for gardening. yeah. Wow. You can go anywhere in Canada weeds anywhere in this great country In the rest of Canada, it's mostly snow. Gardening is snow for the rest snow around I hated that part. But when a hive does really well, they'll split. They'll like actually like make a new queen and then they'll swarm somewhere else. So at one of my gardens, the Italian garden at the Pony There was like a swarm of bees on a plum tree because there's like nice running water. and they seemed like it would be a nice place for them to set up, but it wouldn't And when the Italian garden bees were they like a buzz Italian bees uz Um Yeah, so I just like didn't tell anyone and I just like reented, I think a truck from Moto. Okay. I came back under the cover of night And I like wait. Yeah. I like bought a be suit Randomly from someone in like Surrey and then bought a hive and then I was like, I'm gonna h U and you stole these bees. I stole these bees. Wow. Yeah, did you know where where the queen was? I just assumed it was in the swarm. That's what Google was telling me There was like a swarm of bees and it was how long ago was this? This was got have been twenty twenty twenty Three or four. Okay. Okayple years ago. Yeah. So yeah, I got all the stuff I got like an old hive and like an old suit. I smoked them a little. I'mta smoke the beers. Dellicious. smmoked them up. and then I climbed a ladder in the truck and then they like got them into a hive and then they like drove them home and I like brought home a swarm of bees. And they didn't go crazy on you or anything. They go crazy. They're very nice and they trusted me as They knew I was half Italian. They were like This is a good one. So we grew up in a Italian garden Yeah. and yeah, and then we tried to like expand the hive and Really try to like they didn't it was not successful. I think I might have lost the queen in try they were just kind of like kneeling around Yeah in their pock. It's a bunch NZLVs just like drones without a queen they' kind of pissed off. What why did you want to do this? Oh I'm just super impulsive and I like the idea of it. It seemed really cool to me It does seem cool. Yeah. Like would you want are they honeybees? They're honey bees. Okay. Yeah, I love swarms. That's a really a thing. I love swarms. You should have gone to the I love swarms of everything I've had a worm farm before. That's a good swarm. Really? Yeah, you can like, how did that start? Take a bath. Well, gardener, take a bath. take a bath. takeake a bath. I did have a bath though I had a bathtub in the backyard, then you like you make a house for them and then they multiply. And before you know it, you have millions of worms. What what are you doing with these worms? You feed the worms or compost and then they come they make a, if you really want to multiply, just chop them in half. You don't want the bottom half. So would you sell them to Noherman? that is one avenue to pay for this damn wedding Um you use their worm casings. The worm casings is the best thing for plants. Okay. What casings like the casings that they lose? Shit, but o sorry, worm crap Yeah. Cut that out. Cut that out. It's kind of gross because it's like a worm is that. Yeah then it just So for the listener, he's making a worm shape withaking a worm impression. And I think the worm has to eat to like move. So like as it eats, it just leaves behind like of all man. Yeah. it's leaving behind. H Just its body, weight in crap. So like as a reed seal gardener W Wm dirt is number one. Primo. You mix that in with your soil. It's just full of like micro nutrients micro organisms and you can make tea out of it. you can make worm crap tea. I doubt it. It's Plans go crazy. You put like molasses and some worm casings in a. Yeah I thought you were talking about like a human Yeah. It like plants go crazy right. love a. Okay They love it. Do you take sugar with your worm tea? You take molasses with your worm tea? Sure. And then you aerate it and then it becomes like microbially rich. It's like kombucha for plants. I give them a little scoop and then they just. Ohoad yeah. What' is some boot to do for people? You should try. Who would counteract those dogs? You've been eatating E hot dogs. onene kombucha. One B big kombucha. Bounce out.

I want to go back to the beehives. So you lost the queen, you think. The queen might have been lost in transit or how might you have the de the rest of the bees for. So then I got A a lot of people involved in the beekeeping friend brought a cell, like a honeycomb cell that had A queen emerging. so she had like what's called a virgin queen or something. They have to be. And Apparently all the inlbies want to kill her immediately because they dont trust her, but you if you take long enough for the quQeen to emerge, they like get used to as scent and they're like, o Oh yeah you can you cool, you can hang. you can actuallyually you're kind of like Not a fake gamer girl. Yeah, you guys you're kind of like the rest of us. so yeah, pretty cool. Yeah. And then the bees got a lot chiller. when they were just Bros. Yeah. they were pissed off. and know like when I came near it And then they got a queen and then they had purpose and it was nice. And then how long did that That lasted They like kind of overwintered poorly. It's really hard They weren't a strong enough colony to really survive the winter. but I was trying to give them like honey water. It was a disaster. Yeah. We overwintered poorly. our bad giveive them tiny little jackets. Well, they' fuzzy already. They don't they're fuzzy. Yeah think we're so wet ver And it's full of mites apparently. Did you extract, did you get any honey? So yeah, you won't get honey for a while. they need like enough honey to survive the winter and then like another stack. That's when you Its when you see like a tall beehive Yeah, it means they're doing great Oh means they filled one and then you need to like add another and then theyre start filling. Th these guys just love working. There's a lady on Instagram, maybe TikTok, probably cross posts Yeah whose whole thing is she goes places and like Like someone will call her and be like, my wall, my living room wall is desert.

Fanny in the UK very specifically means a lady's front to bottom. Yeah. So you can only imagine my delight and that of all of your UK listeners when Rachel and yourselves were talking for about ten minutes about growlers. And in particular, I think the line will refill anyone's growler was a particular highlight. So anyway, that's that. I hope it's been as delightful for you as it was for me. It was really vful. Yeah ye Yeah, we're not throwing around Fanny for butts much anymore. No. And also I've realized after that And it might just be regional, but then a growler could also refer to a particularly big shit And the UK, we we call Well diarrhea with an o In it? In that Um, ye I don't hear Fanny as much anymore. You know. wouldouldn't be surprised to in the era now of old timey names that kids have, I wouldn't be surprised to See a young kid named Panny?
