Spring Sucks?!

Today on the podcast for this starts, you're going to hear that we had a wacky morning

as it pertains to the weather and a hilarious reaction from Brady Olivera who joined us

for breakfast with the bombers because he's got a new TV show coming soon.

We also talked about back lane flooding.

There's a back lane in San Fatel that Greg caught wind of.

He went to check it out and then we sent global news out to have a look at it, severely

flooded.

What is this city doing about it?

We also learned about something called Urban Rivers and the Wild Mile in Chicago to really

cool thing the first of its kind anywhere and is it something we could do here?

And inspired by the back lane flooding we asked you about things about spring that

hurt you.

I'm Brett McGarry alongside Greg Mackling, we are Mackling and McGarry and this is the

Tuesday April 14th podcast where the start.

It is Mackling and McGarry and we got to talk jets, got to talk by elections and liberal

majority in a moment but sorry for just already, the trains already gone off the rails

Mackling.

Okay.

That forecast caught me and I knew it, I knew the forecast but what a swing from Wednesday

to Thursday.

Welcome to Southern Alberta.

This is something Calgary deals with on a regular basis, the foothills, left bridge, medicine

hat, that part of the pro even even sometimes further north but certainly in the foothills.

The first, well it wasn't the first year.

The second time I moved to Calgary, the first Christmas, the second time I went to Calgary,

Christmas Eve was 24 degrees.

24 on 24?

Yeah.

And then I think three days later there was a snow storm.

It's just, just the way it goes.

I've driven, I've driven, it'll be February of 89 driving to trying to get to panorama

BC.

We never made it there but a 30 degree drop or more, I would say more like 38 degrees between

medicine hat and Calgary in that three hour drive from about eight degrees in medicine

hat to minus 30 in Calgary.

Wow.

Yeah.

So this is the sort of thing that people in different parts of the world are used to.

I don't know how used to we are here with the idea of a daytime high being 20 degrees

potentially different one day to the next, but here we are.

That's the boat we're in.

So when's the environment in climate change Canada says 18 tomorrow, Thursday zero with

periods of snow, Friday minus one with periods of snow, Saturday minus two and then back

up to six on Sunday and then 15 on Monday.

If you look at the weather network, they're saying 19 tomorrow, five degrees on Thursday

with periods of rain and then they kind of stabilize together Friday, Saturday, the

what weather networks says minus one minus one and they're also calling for six degrees

on Sunday and 14 on Monday.

So going to be an interesting few days.

Trucker Dawn says sort of hear that forecast.

I think I'll just stay here in Illinois.

Does he give a temperature?

No.

That's coming.

I'm sure.

Dawn, why are you going to stay in Illinois?

How nice is it?

Where you are?

We're going to Illinois later on this morning.

Are we?

Virtually 835.

We're going to Chicago to Chicago to learn about something they're doing on the rivers

there.

And it's really kind of cool.

I've been excited to share this.

It took a little while to get this interview set up because really our guest at 830 doesn't

have much incentive to join us here in Winnipeg.

I think he's doing it out of the goodness of his heart.

And they're they're starting a program.

They've started a program in Chicago to build these floating parks on the Chicago River.

Do you reintroduce different species of animals and wildlife and vegetation along the river?

A good stretch of the Chicago River like they it's almost like a man made river.

They've taken a man's taken it over, right?

It's concrete banks for the most part, but they're they're reintroducing these different

ecosystems along the river by building these little floating islands.

So we're going to learn about that because I think it's something that I'd like to put

on the radar here in Winnipeg for the red and a Citiboyan River.

I can't wait to learn more about that.

So anyway, so I didn't mean to jump the gun with what we're doing at 830.

But as Don Taylor's talking about illinois, I thought I'd throw it out there.

No, and I'm glad you did because I knew that this this you were working on this and I often

like to be surprised when I see you're working on something I just kind of wait to see.

I like I like to learn about it kind of in person.

So I can have a more genuine in this case kind of gleeful reaction.

So that's coming up at 835.

So as I walked in the door this morning, I was wondering allowed if Las Vegas needs

to aim and maybe Las Vegas and Los Angeles can come together for a new tourism campaign

for Winnipeg and say, come visit us.

The home where dreams go to die playoff dream died before the jets hit the ice at T mobile

arena war at some point during the game last night.

The King's more than last night, the jets lost.

So the playoff dreams are officially over.

They ended a rather ugly death on Saturday for the most part and that 7-1 loss to Philadelphia

and then the jets go into Vegas last night and they lose six to two.

I don't think a lot of folks were suspecting the jets would put up much of a fight after

what went down.

I think some maybe we're hoping Braden Yeager played his first National Hockey League game

in a milestone for Mark Schifle as he becomes just the second player in jets thrasers franchise

history to record more 100 points or more.

Marion Hosa did it for the thrasers I think in 06 07 but for Winnipeg jets 1.0 first player

Mark Schifle to record 100 points.

He ended up with 101 by the end of the game, a goal and an assist last night and he becomes

just the third Winnipeg jet ever in the National Hockey League history to record 100 points

Dale Howard Chuck and Team Usalani the other two.

Awesome.

I mean, that's good.

That's exciting.

The sucks that the jets are out but we knew really that we were there was that we were

clinging to hope but not really.

We were clinging to hope into the weekend and and we also need to quickly mention this

as well because I know that there so there are people who are going to be grumpy about the jets

and who could blame you were grumpy about it and they're going to be some depending on which

side of the political spectrum you're on grumpy about what happened last night with those

federal by elections as the liberals claimed those seats and have and will claim a majority

and we don't have time to get into a report from David Acha maybe we can share it later but he sort

of puts it into perspective for the other parties and conservatives in the NDPs is one of the

benefits to those parties is that they're we likely won't see an election until 2029 so that

gives them time to stabilize to get their house their houses in order.

I know there are a lot of conservatives who are not happy about the floor crossings and the way

it's happened and how the liberals have have created really is what they've done created this

majority but I'm not sure how many of them were anxious to go to the polls because based on a lot

of polls what would have happened would have been a liberal majority yeah and then that might have

pushed I don't know if that then pushes back the next fixed election or how that would work

anyway yeah 2029 right is it October 2029 or when is the next now the fixed election date we'll

have to look that up but 2029's the year I just don't know which month

a new lake has appeared in Winnipeg much to the dismay of some residents in San

Fatal Greg you went down there yesterday tried to drive through it I got about 10 feet in

open my car door and I'm not going any further than this made a call back to the mothership

since some video global's iris dick took it from there many Winnipeg residents dream of one day

owning a property on the water and for some residents in San Fatal they get that experience every spring

Bob Miller has lived here for 57 years in the spring he parks on the street until his garage

and yard dry out I'm getting ready to phone again I phone a couple of times already

what are the waves in here we're kind of used to it he says the city's steamer truck tried to

unclog the drain in the back lane between handy side and bank streets behind his property with no

luck just down the street Chelsea Lohan says it's not every year the water reaches her house

it's an ongoing issue we've multiple people have put in complaints and we haven't heard anything

him according to the city of Winnipeg 311 has received seven reports for this specific stretch of

back lane this year St. Patel City counselor Brian Mays says he's not received any calls to his office

but agrees the back lane needs attention he says it's normally his words unpaid lanes that make the

biggest mess in the spring and that driving those complaints but we'll get after that and try and get

that cleaned up because these you know that is that is how you get your garbage and recycle

service until then Miller will keep taking a detour to avoid soggy shoes ira stick global news

it is deep yeah yeah like I said I was unprepared to drive all the way through it probably a good idea

you heard there from a couple of residents they can't even park in their back lane because

they don't really know what they're dealing with they don't know what's under there

surprised to learn that the city was out there with a steamer truck or whatever so it's obviously

some other issue because I was on the Facebook page the Facebook group of people that were it was

one of our listeners loyal listeners that sent that link to us and I have a hard I had a hard time

believing that it would be a frozen storm drain at this point in time like I mean the rivers

barely have any ice on them so the idea that that would be a frozen drain so that's probably

not the issue I don't know why they haven't gone in there with pumps and hoses because it's

impacting at least 20 or 30 houses people that probably can't go in their backyard and use

their back lanes so we will visit with one resident coming up just after nine o'clock this morning

find out of anything happened last night or this warning and just what a pain in the backside it is

and back lane and flooding it's it's sort of an annual occurrence with my dads back lane and

transcona I won't identify the street but he says a few years ago they they came and and did

some repair work sort of at the end of the lane for bottles and what have you but the way they

patched it it it basically created a berm so the water can't get out to the street so it ends

up funneling back to work and my dad lives in the kind of the middle of the street so there's always

a giant puddle right in front of my my dad's place so yay so thanks for putting this on the radar

Mr. Maclink yeah sucks you know we we were pushing till the end and it's a tough reality that's just

the game hockey that is Winnipeg jet mark shifley post game last night following a six two loss

to the Vegas golden nights for the first time in three seasons the jets will not compete

for the North American ice hockey league champions play the

enthusiasm is a little lacking on that one this is head coach Scott or Neil on the reality that

the playoffs are finally a no-go for the jets it's a terrible feeling you know we you know we

said at the Elster break and we had our chance to have our little mini camp and kind of get ready

for the stretch run the 29 games you know we wanted to put everything we could into it and you

know we went from eleven points down to one at one time and you know they just you know it is

it's a it's a tough feeling I know the guys are they're hurting everybody you know we we all

want to be in the playoffs that's what our job is and our role is and when you get the reality

of it it sucks despite the lost bread it was a big night for mark shifley Conor stick handling still time

to go in the power play up top for Miller fast side for Shifley Shifley back for Miller Miller

Dustin off shoots they score gave the Larry at the side of the net will get his 30th goal the year

And it looks like it might be point number 100 for Mark Scheifleet.

So here's Scheifle on breaking 100 points for the first time in his career.

Very blessed. I've had some amazing players. You know, I'm very blessed man. I mean, there's got to thank God for it all.

Yeah, I'm proud of myself and I know they're still more so that's exciting.

Scheifle wasn't done.

Up along the boards, lost it out in front. Quick shot. Stop. Rebound. They score.

There's point number 101 for Mark Scheifleet.

No season high in franchise history for one player.

Two points for Scheifleet in this period.

And for Mark Scheifle, goal number 35 on the campaign. And it's four to Vegas.

So Scheifleet with that point past Mary and Hosa who had exactly 100 points back in 06, 07 for the thrashers Jets franchise.

And then on the Jets all time list Jets all time NHL list Jets head coach Scott or Neil had comments.

Or Neil of course played junior in Cornwall with Dale Howard Chuck who is the 1.0 current point leader.

1.0 and 2.0 combined point leader.

Or Neil was drafted in the second round by Winnipeg in 81 when Howard Chuck was drafted first overall.

And the two played together with the Jets for years.

That's impressive. You know what the year he's had, you know, through all the ups and downs of our season.

You know, he's been one of the consistent guys right from the start of the year to today.

And you know, he's one of our leaders and, you know, I'm real proud of him.

You know, he's, you know, to get that many points. That's special and he's been there.

You know, I don't think he has a lot like Dale.

There was not a lot of league recognition or, you know, sort of recognition around the, you know, the other around the countries.

And Mark's kind of been under the radar a lot that way.

And I think him, Casey, people are starting to recognize Josh Morris.

Either that we have some elite players in Winnipeg.

So the Jets are in Utah tonight to face the mammoth.

We're set to have the keys to the game with Cam Poitris just after 8.10.

But I was thinking about this, this morning, Mackling.

Wasn't all that long ago where we were at the hockey for all center.

As the Jets were kicking off training camp.

And I remember feeling this like brimming optimism,

excitement that obviously things didn't go the way that the team that anybody wanted it to go in the playoffs.

But they were the best team in the league in the regular season.

And I, as we watched the players come out and they were 10 feet away from us on the other side of the glass.

And I remember feeling this genuine excitement that we were looking at possibly the best team in the league.

And we were, I don't know what was going through your head.

But I was thinking surely we'll have a better outcome this season.

I didn't know.

I was a little hesitant because as you know, Nick Elers is one of my favorite players.

In fact, he was my favorite jet.

I thought he was the best jet.

Most important jet outside of Conor Hellabuck for years.

His departure, I think was underestimated by some.

They, a lot of people said, I was always injured.

He didn't do, he didn't perform in the playoffs.

He didn't do this.

He didn't do that.

I think the Jets really missed Nick Elers.

They failed to replace his goal production.

Elers scored his 25th goal of the year for Carolina last night.

He's had a terrific season in Carolina.

And the players that they brought in to replace his goal production simply did not do that.

They did not perform.

Jonathan Taves highly touted.

People were excited about JT coming back to the national hockey league and resuming his career in his hometown.

Taves, I thought was pretty good down the stretch.

Took him a lot longer to get healthy than I think the Jets had hoped or planned for.

Adam Lowry, Cole Perfetti.

Dylan Sandberg, we're not in the lineup to start the season.

It took Perfetti and Lowry a lot longer.

I think to recover from their injuries than most people anticipated and probably themselves included.

Perfetti in particular finally got his game going.

Sandberg is one of the best, you know, probably the second best defenseman on the team.

They've had some revelations, including Elias Salamonson on defense.

Connor Hellebuck was not nearly as good as he's usually been.

He had his injury.

He had his surgery.

There's a lot of things that went sideways this year.

But I think the Jets are going to have to as an organization look at the very top as to which direction they need to go next.

Morning, Chats.

I brought to you by reliable heating and air conditioning.

Family strong, reliable, strong Winnipeg strong.

Visit them at reliableheatair.ca at 615.

We shared a story of a flooded back lane in St. Fattel.

Where you actually went down there, Mackling? Where was this again?

Oh, boy.

You don't know how it's done.

It's somewhere in the southern lands.

Between St. Anne's and Damien Wrong and two streets that I can't remember the names of right now.

That's okay.

It's somewhere out there in St. Fattel.

There's a back lane that's causing a lot of problems.

That got us thinking about the things and these kinds of things happen every spring.

There are things that we just hate about spring.

So we're grumpy about the Jets.

We're grumpy that it's Tuesday.

Let's complain together.

Let's find solace in our complaints about spring.

What are the things about spring that make you bad?

Cam, you want to kick us off?

Yeah.

Yeah.

The one thing that bothers me the most is someone, you know, like we all wake up early in the morning

is the change of the weather that goes throughout the course of the day.

It's usually a little chilly, jacket weather, and then by the time I'm around two o'clock

and I'm on my walk to my car, I'm like sweltering in the heat.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The same thing happens in the fall, but right now it's sort of you're sort of coming out of it.

You don't want to like complain about the nice weather, but sort of dressing for the morning

and then having to deal with the weather in the afternoon is a pain in the butt.

I call it, it's lose your jacket weather.

Yeah.

Because you wear a jacket in the morning and maybe you go out for bite to eat at lunch

and you don't even think about putting it back on and you just leave it behind.

Yeah.

It's losing jacket weather.

That's a great one, Cam.

Especially with this forecast, we're looking at tomorrow.

And then the next day, figuring out what to wear, could end up being a challenge.

Sarah, what about you?

What hurts you about spring?

Well, when I used to live at home and my family had a dog, it was the dog poo collection.

Every spring, if you did not keep up with it throughout the winter, you were going to have problems.

And my family dog at the time, he was just off leash in the yard and it was fairly big yard.

And most dogs go to the very furthest corner away from the house, away from the den.

So it was just like dodging, dodging potholes, but dodging poop when you're stepping around.

What am I?

Yes, literally.

And I would gear up in my rubber boots and that was my chore.

That was my job, no allowance.

And I did it every spring.

Did you bring your rubber boots to winter pants?

I do have new rubber boots.

Now, if you miss that chore, I have an opportunity to rekindle thoughts and magic memories of home.

Sarah, you can come on by miles.

I'll think about that.

But for now, just allergies, my spring allergies are always so, so bad.

So I look forward to what spring brings, but not the in between.

And allergies.

So that's two reminders.

Cam reminded me of the pain that is figuring out what to wear.

And then the sweaty walks home and then allergies is something that I can look forward to for sure.

Braden, what about you?

I got mixed emotions on spring because baseball is back, so I'm excited.

But a few years ago, I bought new white shoes and I was so excited and I was like, oh, these look great.

And then my friend invited me on a hike.

So I went with him and immediately within the first about four steps ruined the brand new white shoes.

First time I ever wore them.

So from that day on, I've sworn off hikes all together.

I will not go walking.

Is never again.

No, I don't walk.

No, I need a scooter or something because no walking for you.

You know you could get a different pair of shoes for hiking.

No, no, no.

GMAC get ruined it for me.

No hiking.

Sorry.

All right, then.

It's just out.

I'm never walking again.

We're able to clean up the shoes at least.

I tried, but it was just, it was like two feet deep of mud I stepped in.

So they were just wrecked.

So I got new ones.

Those ones are now wrecked too.

So not only if I sworn off hikes also white shoes.

Yeah, I like, I love white sneakers, but you really got to be careful with those.

My kids wear what do they call them toe protectors or something?

They actually put them in their plastic and they put them in.

Oh, crease protector.

That's what they're called to prevent the toes of your shoes from creasing.

Like if you've got the expensive basketball shoes.

And you don't want that crease on the toe section.

There's an actually a toe protector that you can slide inside your shoes.

It's plastic.

It's a little bit different walking in them.

But it prevents that crease from coming across the top ears.

Oh, you put them in while you're wearing.

Yes.

Oh, that's interesting.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Kids are, you know, they're finicky.

They're fussy about their kicks.

And they probably don't even call them kicks anymore.

I don't even know what they call them.

What works you about spring?

Well, it's just all the work that needs to be done in order to get outside and really enjoy it.

I mean, the work, there's pleasure in the work, I suppose.

I don't really have allergies.

But Brett, even you've noticed that when I'm out in my yard,

and I've been out in my yard raking or cleaning the eaves truss or that sort of thing,

that's typically when I'm susceptible to getting a little bit of the equivalent of an allergy attack.

And I get congested.

And my eyes get itchy and all that stuff.

You guys deal with all year long.

It's usually just a couple of days for me when I'm really in the yard up to my elbows.

It's just sometimes, I guess I'm tired of doing the three and four person jobs by myself.

How about that?

There's my answer.

So that's why you're asking for my help.

Correct.

Correct.

That's the yard is done.

Now all the snow has gone in the backyard.

And so the other half needs to be done.

The person who needs to do that is probably sleeping right now.

So not hearing this prompt for service in the backyard.

And I guess for me, the thing that I find most irksome is the trying to keep my pants clean from the walk home.

Oh, that's a good one.

It's a daily, daily sort of, I won't call it a nightmare, but it's a daily nuisance where when I get home,

I have to wipe off my pants from the splashes.

And as I try as I might to not make a mess, I walk fast and I kick up water as I'm doing so.

And then I get home and I look at the back of my jeans and it's a complete mess.

And then sometimes I don't feel like dealing with it in that moment or I might forget the second I get home.

And then even an hour later, it's already almost a lost cause.

And then you get to a point where you kind of wonder, do I even care?

Like I'm just going to, I'm not going to wash these jeans because they're just going to get messy again.

So there's like this level of this acceptance of slovenliness.

I don't know.

Well, you know how much I love a dirty car, not.

Maybe you need fenders for your shoes.

I wonder if there is such a thing.

You would hate the sight of my automobile if you hate your car.

I don't judge yours.

I don't judge other people for the cleanliness of their car.

I don't do that.

It's, it's a personal thing for me.

There's a, my car is essentially a tomb of dust that needs to be.

I need like a mummy hunter.

The mummy returns.

I need Brendan Fraser and Rachel vice to break my car out of its tomb.

It's time for breakfast with bombers.

Now yesterday, Marina and Candace from Evalour, Salon and Violet, Salon and Spa joined us to tell us about their annual

Cutathon fundraiser in support of the Dream Factory, which is coming up Sunday, April 26, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Among the activities and highlights and appearance from our guests this morning on breakfast with the bombers, Brady Olivera.

Now, Brett, I don't need to tell you, but just to remind our listeners, not only is Brady Olivera extremely active in the community.

He's one of the best players in the Canadian football league and he and his partner Alex are set to steal your hearts.

Thanks to their shared passion.

We have four dogs.

It's a blended family.

They didn't get along.

I think this might have been done.

Well, just no.

No, it's, yeah, he's not wrong.

He's not wrong.

I got her.

Yeah, shit, yeah.

She's going nuts.

She's going nuts.

All that work for this little thing.

Worth it.

It's like a little football.

I'm a professional football player.

But my real job is dog rescue.

There's only one athlete in the family and an eight me buddy.

I've traveled the world rescuing dogs.

It's my purpose in life.

Oh, anal glands.

Yeah, this one's like fish.

The dog's like, it's unleashed on you.

Oh, right there.

Hey, we got three here.

All got me, okay?

Yeah, bad.

There's a difference between liking dogs and being obsessed with dogs.

So she is pregnant.

We'll do anything to help dogs in need.

Is he dying?

No.

Well-graded.

We all want to win a great cup.

I'm trying to win.

He's one of my partner, my best friend, my rescue partner.

We'll keep doing this work until every dog has a safe place.

Oh, my goodness.

I don't really smell anymore.

That's good.

It's not on you.

Must love dogs is a 10-part series in it.

Premiers on jam next Monday.

We welcome back to breakfast with the bombers.

Brady, Oliver.

Good morning, Brady.

Hey, good morning, guys.

How excited are you and Alex for people to see must love dogs?

Yeah, we're amp then just to be able to share this product that we worked on the entire last year to share it with the world.

Yeah, super stoked about it.

And for those who might not be entirely familiar with their story, Brady.

You know, you're well known for rescuing dogs.

When did that all start for you?

When did you start rescuing dogs?

I started about six and a half years ago.

One of my best friends, Ryan Kloss, and here in Winnipeg is the one who got me involved.

He's been doing rescue for over 15 years.

And his partner, Jasmine Clucci, is the one who started a Kenan advocacy.

The rest of you guys are already getting involved with and still volunteer with them now.

But I went on a rescue with some six and a half years ago when I completely blind, not knowing what to expect.

And I guess the rest is history when I saw that this is a problem going on in.

You know, right here in our backyard in northern Manitoba.

I figured, you know, with my platform, this is a place where I can definitely involved and speak up for these these dogs and make a difference.

Football gives you this platform. I would suggest Brady.

It allows you to be as well known as you are, not only in these parts, but right across the country.

And I suspect that this documentary now will make you kind of a worldwide phenomenon in potential.

But what about your work in Bali and the winters now that you've been able to create for yourself, the work and the combination of your offseason workout routine?

What's that been like and how grateful are you for that ability to sort of spend your winters that way?

Yeah, extremely grateful. I feel like ever since I've been doing these trips abroad, I think going to warmer climates and escaping the winter specifically.

It's been the best thing that's happened to my career. I've been doing this for the last five years now. This is my fourth year in Bali.

And I think just, you know, putting myself in an environment where, you know, it's it's warm weather like that I talked about the food quality.

I'm training at, you know, top notch gyms.

Just everything my lifestyle there how active I am. I feel like I come back and I'm bulletproof and I can, you know, give my absolute all to my teammates and for the entire season.

And I think you look at my last few seasons of.

I've been improving and in definitely certain categories as well. So I think it's been the best thing that's happened for me and I definitely will continue to, you know, head out there and obviously when you're when we're there for just over three months.

You know, it's not a vacation. We're living there. So I feel like definitely, you know, doing our daily routines like we do here and and obviously a big part of that is giving back and doing the dog estimation.

We do a big dog estimation there and we put on masterlization clinics across the island of Bali free for the locals.

They can bring their cat or dog and get them vaccinated and sterilized.

So that's kind of our main efforts there and then we, you know, do some frontline rescue and do some street feedings and help out a bunch of organizations.

So it's definitely busy, but I feel like busy for me is good and exactly what I want.

We referenced the cutathon, which is coming up in support of the dream factory on Sunday, April 26th. Now events like this one, like Marina's event, connect you to fans and non fans.

You don't have to do these things. Why do you?

Yeah, so like you said, I'll be at the cutathon, which is I think in just a few short weeks and, you know, I, I absolutely love giving back anywhere, wherever I'm in the world, but I think it's even more special to give back in your own community.

And with me being a proud winner-paker, I've said it so many times and then probably so many different interviews, but this city has given me so much and gives me so much support.

So I feel like it's my duty, even though I want to go and do it, but it's my duty to go and get back and to be involved in as many organizations as I possibly can.

And then like you said, with this, you know, I always say the best, the best amount of chance in the CFL. So by me going to the events and the community knowing I'm going to be there also gives them the chance for, you know, for them to come out to support that great organization and also have an opportunity to, you know, meet me, talk, take a picture, whatever they want to do.

I think there's so many things that go into it, but most importantly, getting back is something that means the world to me and it's something that I'll continue to do until the data.

When does, how close are we to training camp are you marking it down on the calendar?

Yeah, I want to say we're probably, I think, 27 days away.

Maybe keeping track. Yeah, we're right around the corner. I'm jacked up just and being back and want to take now and being on more of the guys and running with them at the stadium.

Well, not today because dude, what's going on with like, what are we doing?

We're as mystified as you are Brady. We're 30 floors up above Portage and Maine and we watched this.

Oh my God. This storm come in like it was May or June and one of these Manitoba thunderstorms came rolling in except it's a mix of rain and snow.

One guy described it as parogies falling from the sky. So, you know, you know, we just, we just deal. That's just the way it is.

Brady, we appreciate your man. Thanks for making time for us this morning. Have a great workout today and wherever your travels take you be safe and can't wait to see you back on the field, man.

Yeah, I appreciate you guys. Make sure April 20th to an MCBC, CBC, GM season one of Muscle of Dogs. Let's go, baby.

Brady Olivera joining us live on 680 CJOB for breakfast with the bombers.

It is Mackling and McGarry. This half hour is brought to you by Shine Dental locally owned trusted dental care with open appointment times at all three wouldn't peg locations.

We got the keys to the game coming up in a moment. Yes, the jets playoff hopes are over. No white out parties on the horizon.

Although, unless you, if you look out the window, you might see a white out party happening right now.

Exactly the same thing party. That would be a quotation marks. I suspect.

So the keys to the game is the jets visit the mammoth and their zammoth tonight. But before that, we just want to revisit what happened last night in the by elections and the results.

Mr. Mackling, we know some are going to be thrilled and others not thrilled at all.

Yeah, the whole floor crossing thing is, you know, it's divided. I think an already divided electric and the way we view politicians, the way we view politics, Brett and I've been pretty clear.

We're not really fans of how, of how this has taken place, not really fans of the idea that I'm bigger than the party.

And thusly, I shall control the feelings of hearts and minds of my constituents by leaving one party for another.

And so that's one side. But the other side is, you know, one, one is a fluke.

Two is a coincidence. Three is a trend. What's four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, we're 10, right? It's a troubling occurrence in my mind if you're the leader of the conservative party.

And you got to be wondering, what am I doing wrong? Or is this all the fault of the liberals if that's the way you want to play it?

I think you're closing your eyes to some things that are going on around you that you're clearly not aware of or you're unwilling to discuss.

So with the liberals winning those by elections last night, there were three of them. They took all three and they now have a majority.

So here's global's David Aiken on what a liberal majority means.

The Carney government would be able to proceed with its agenda without having to worry about securing support from at least one other opposition party.

We're going to still deliver the things that matter to Canadians.

Think of budgets during the minority Trudeau years where the price of NDP support for one budget was a new national farm care program.

Now with a majority for better or worse, there would be no more parliamentary horse trading.

But this is also shaping up to be a razor thin majority. And that means Carney and his cabinet will have to pay special attention to caucus management.

Because just two or three unhappy liberals could threaten the government's agenda.

The coal might be coming from inside the house as they say.

So care must be taken so that this big red tent that includes former conservatives and a former new Democrat MP does not stretch to the point of breaking.

Finally, for the opposition, a liberal majority would give them the gift of time.

The NDP is in debt and its new leader does not have a seat. The conservatives need to stabilize after this spade of floor crossings.

So a majority likely means no election until 2029.

Plenty of time for those opposition parties to put their houses in order.

And this is interesting as Kern conservative MP Billy Moran says the liberals are trying to recruit him to cross the floor.

But he has no intention of leaving the party. And when asked if he would be the next to defect, Moran was caught on a hot mic saying the liberals are trying to poach him.

So global news was in the room and confirmed hearing that exchange. But his office has not yet responded.

This MP should come forward and say, how are they trying to coerce him?

What is that coaching? What does that offer look like so that we can get a better idea of exactly what's going on with all these politics that are being played right before our very eyes and in the darkness at the same time.

Feel free to win as always a tool for seven eight zero sixty eight sixty eight. In the meantime, we switch gears from the political arena to the hockey arena, Mr. Maclay.

Winnipeg Jets played their final road game of the twenty twenty five twenty six season their final road game until October.

Tonight in Utah, facing the mammoth co host of Jetson and Campoitris as your keys to the game.

Number one reset mentally after elimination. The biggest challenge for the Winnipeg Jets is this mental reset with playoff hopes now gone.

This becomes about professionalism and pride. There can't be a let down after elimination. They need to stay structured play with purpose and use these final games to set a tone moving forward.

Number two, Titan defensively versus a deeper attack. Winnipeg will have to be sharp against the Utah mammoth.

A club that generates consistent offense that means protecting the middle of the ice, limiting odd man rushes and executing cleaner breakouts.

The turnovers were a massive killer. If this game opens up into a track meet, I'm going to give it to Utah.

And number three, win the effort details, special teams and shots. The Jets need to win those smaller details, shot volume, puck battles.

Special teams are going to play a massive role with margins thin. Winnipeg has to capitalize on its chances.

Generate second efforts around the net and be optimistic when those moments come. They can do all that. Hey, the win one for pride tonight against the mammoth.

Free game show starts at six o'clock, just after six o'clock with play by play after eight on your radio home on the Winnipeg Jets 6 ADC J-O-B.

It's a cruel world where the golf courses aren't open and time enough for your hockey team to hit them when there's season ends.

Yeah, I saw Southwood, which is out in the St. Norbert. We were there a couple of times for the Manitoba open.

They're getting their drive. I think they're driving range might actually be open or will soon be open.

Although today's a bit of a curveball, but you're bull.

It is Mackling and McGarry. Thank you very much for joining us this morning on the start. This half hours brought to you by shine dental trusted community focused dentistry across three Winnipeg clinics with convenient appointment times available now after global news at nine.

We are going to speak with somebody who is directly affected by that flood and back lane in St. Fattel that you and had a peek at yesterday Greg.

That's right. And it's the it's it's between St. Anne's road and Des Mierons or Day Mierong in St. Fattel. That good. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. And it's between the north side of Bank Avenue. Very that that forms the South Bank of its lake. And on the north side, it's handy side avenue.

And I would say easily one third of the back lane, which is a fairly long block is covered by water right now.

So we'll learn we'll hear from one of the residents at nine oh five. But right now excited about this because once upon a time Winnipeg received a moniker many know seldom use Winnipeg was known as the Chicago of the north due to its rapid expansion role is a major railway hub and booming grain trade around the turn of the 20th century.

Similar to Chicago, it became the gateway to the agricultural West featuring substantial manufacturing banking and Chicago style architecture.

And if you've never been as incredible as the architecture in the exchange district is the architecture in Chicago is simply amazing.

And the best way to see that architecture is on a boat tour on Lake Michigan and then on the Chicago River or vice versa. And the shores of the Chicago River have over recent years become a unique gathering place of their own.

Our next guest is here to tell us how his group is making the river even more appealing.

It's a series of different floating gardens and docs and walkways. Then we bring in all of the floating ecosystem modules. We plant them and then create these actual ecosystems.

Urban Rivers works in partnership with the city of Chicago's Department of Planning and Development community groups, corporations and local businesses to ensure thoughtful planning and acceptance of the wild mile as a long term and cherished asset.

To learn more about this, we are joined by Zachary Demado, major gifts director and co-founder of Urban Rivers. Zachary, good morning to you.

Good morning, sir. Happy to be in the call here.

Well, thank you so much for joining us. We're really excited to learn more. So how will we start simply? Tell us more about this wild mile.

Well, actually, the wild mile was an inception in 10 years previous to its opening in 2013 and one of our co-founders, Josh Yellen, was doing the thesis on wetlands.

And Nick and I had no idea about wetlands. We weren't city planners or architects, just two business school kids.

And we linked up and were like, wow, plants can go on the river. Maybe we can grow food or hemp or biofuel, which was totally out of our league, let alone what we're doing.

And so like that idea was the idea was just birth of that one five by 10 wetland and we did pilot gardens for five years of just accessible via kayak.

And then just like slowly building the layers of the community, the research partners like Shed Aquarium and National Geographic and shout out to Patagonia who gave us our first grant ever with just a sketch pad of ideas.

And then the city got involved and when the city got involved, that's how urban infrastructure could really start to grow become real to everyone.

So Zachary, in downtown Chicago, lots of people from Winnipeg go to Chicago and have been there of the Chicago River of flows and reserve of reverse.

It's a engineering marvel to great extent. And of course, for the most part, the banks are concrete. They're sidewalks, they're plazas.

Because at what point does the wild mile sort of begin to take over and we're exactly for people who might not understand where this is, where does it sort of begin?

Yeah, it's a great question. Now I wouldn't say this type of work would be competing with any river walk work because you know, when you take any urban area, you can at least allow people to walk along the river.

That's like first step, right? Some areas don't even have that. They don't have access. They're cut off. They're just planned for a highway that the river was.

So our work, which is like an in-stream work, it should be complimentary to the river walk. It should be the gold standard, right? If you want to be on land or if you want to get real intimate, you just have the ability to really get into weed, you know, excuse the pun.

And so we feel like there should be the standard we're applicable, obviously, with design engineering, I'm taking the consideration.

As far as location, it's in the Lincoln Park area. So if you go to the goose island, you'll see all color brewery to the north and then to the south where RRI Lincoln Park store is.

And you look over the rail and you'll be able to see the floating gardens and walkways and you'll be able to access that through eastern street. So that's in the goose island area.

So the mile part of this is it's a little bit of an exaggeration at this point in time. Is it more of an aspiration, Zachary?

Well, yes and no. So the wild mile was birth when we had no name, but technically between North Avenue and just past all of that, where we technically could end the Montgomery of Word Building. It's just about a mile.

And also, there's no commercial barges going through that East out of goose island and we got to authorize through an act of Congress a couple of years ago.

Well, allow us to really build into the waterway central area. So it has the components and ripe to be a wild, sorry, a mile long wildlife sanctuary.

We're just at night, how long your fear right now? So there's no reason why it couldn't be and it's in a bill for that.

Just looking at the website urban rivers dot org. By the way, if you're listening or for our listeners, if you want to check out and learn more and see what this is all about that website when skin urban rivers dot org.

So they right there on the headline at the top of the page, transforming urban waterways into wildlife sanctuaries. So why is it important to do stuff like this?

Well, I'm sorry, our rivers were used as highways and that's how these cities from Berlin to Tokyo to Chicago, even those in Canada and Toronto had the ability to build their cities because they've access to good.

So they were industrial corridors and we don't need them anymore with obviously from highways to airlines and to drones. Like that's not the case anymore.

Number one, number two, these relics of the past are coming all around the world. I mean, from Rotterdam to like as a Tokyo and Berlin that we've been to, channel high fee walls, less access for public and they're dead of habitat.

Now some cities are doing better than others, but we look all the linear footage on the world. We're like not even close to having an inviting vital urban waterfront for residents.

So that's like for the residents and then you have the research and the habitat is just wanting this so bad. We see all this increase in the habitat when we built it because it's not anywhere from them to go to get food or shade or or get some protection from predatory fish.

So it's like it's a canvas that must be as we have it because the engineering is not that hard and people are wanting this habitat in an urban environment.

Winnipeg was very similar. The main river north south, the red river here was basically our interstate highway between St. Paul, Minnesota, Grand Forks and Fargo, North Dakota, incredible turn of the century buildings, but they were built with their backs toward the river and that was sort of indicative of our thoughts of the river.

It was for man's use and for man's abuse and now we're trying to reverse our relationship with that river.

That's absolutely correct. It's just a relic of the history, the relic of the times, but you know, through our work and others around the world, it's proven that this should be, it's not that hard to do.

I mean, it's hard to do it from a permitting and all that, but like we build around the world. This is the lower end of technical difficulty, you know.

It feels like reclaim space to a certain extent and for those that don't know Chicago, but maybe know New York, do you get the comparisons of the high line in New York, Zachary?

Well, Highline, I shot at terabi in the team over there, like they were inspiration because every most part are on land.

They took something with no playbook, which is an old railroad, right?

So we take a playbook of an old industrial corridor of a river, not old, but like a industrial corridor.

And so we always look to them, I just seen some of the people there and always go to the Highline network symposiums for insight.

I mean, they were inspiration when we early aren't thinking, you know, this can happen or not.

And just in general, how have people taken to this? I'm thinking of a scene in 30 rock where Liz Lemon is looking at something and she says, I want to go there or something like that.

And that's exactly how I feel like when I look at this, it looks like such a relaxing, unique spot to be.

Yeah, I mean, with no ego, we really haven't seen much pushback of, don't bring habitat.

Don't have contes on the water. Don't allow us to kayak more.

I think it's actually the opposite people are thirsty for it.

So when we put the first section on the wild mile, which was 480 feet in 2022, built in 21, but opened in 22.

That's only four seasons. And last year we had 67,000 visits, 273 public events and over 5,500 volunteer hours.

So I just, I think it people are yearning for it. And also we've had hundreds of cities reach out to us over the years.

So just like, we may have been the first to kind of pop the balloon, but like there's a lot more of appetite and it's just proving them the numbers and from our community.

I'm putting this on the radar in our community and our city and our part of the world. Zachary, thank you so much for this.

I know you're busy. I want to appreciate the work that you do and for putting this on our radar this morning.

Yes, we have a team email on every river on every rivers.org and we have any questions.

I mean, we want to facilitate more projects or just facilitate what we've learned to others that are doing the same.

Thank you, Domado, joining us live on 680 C.J.O.B. He is the major gifts director and co-founder of urban rivers. And once again, that website is urban rivers.org.

The wild mile will be the first ever fully floating eco park in the world. And it looks amazing. Greg, thank you for finding this.

It's so cool. Social media is good for some stuff.

For this morning, we're asking you, what do you find irksome about spring like the inspired by this back lane lake situation?

Of course, we had a couple of people saying potholes for sure.

Listener, Jill says the soggy dog poop.

Did you manage to get that dealt with before the snow melted, Mackling?

Oh, the look on Greg's feet. He just shot me a killer look.

Sorry, that is not aimed at you. That is the transitive property. You will Alexander that look.

Really? Yeah.

Oh, by the way, this half hour is for Winnipeg.

Shutters need to be careful. I always say that after talking about dog poop. Winnipeg.

Shutters protect your storefront with professionally installed rolling security shutters.

Visit WinnipegShutters.ca. We had Maureen who said you were talking about what you hate about spring.

I kind of hate it when someone says we need a good rain to wash all the gravel away.

A rain is not getting rid of all this gravel.

Sometimes that is the blessing of the spring showers or these mixed days.

I like, you know, that snow we had the other day, that heavy snow.

I just call it white rain because this is going to melt eventually.

And it actually can help get rid of some of that debris left over from the fall and the sand and stuff.

But man, there's just way too much sand on the roads this year for that.

We had on someone else we didn't just suggesting they just kind of hate how dirty it is at this time of year with all that, you know, that with all that left over sand.

And it's it's the awkward transition of spring because of course, and I'm sure we'll have a discussion about the things we like about spring.

Like, for example, I've got that row of cherry blossom trees in the courtyard of my apartment.

And it's maybe those tend to come out right before the lilacs come out.

So when those two things are out at the same time, that's like my favorite time of the year.

For your eyes.

Yeah, because it's not too good for your nose.

You know, and that it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

If I walk by a lilac bush, I got to take a sniff.

You could probably have a sneeze, but you got to stop and smell the flowers from time to time.

But our winner today comes from Barb, who also sent us a picture that really helped just kind of nail it down. What did Barb say, Greg?

Essentially a thousand word text.

Yeah.

Construction, mud, and a dog worst thing about spring muddy paw prints everywhere.

Yeah, depending on how well trained your dogs are, they may not be necessarily prepared to stand at the back door nice and patiently while you wipe the mud off their paws.

If you got more than one to juggle, I'm just guessing it might be a little bit difficult.

Yeah, we are family dog Madison, who's gone now, but she was, I always felt bad having to do that.

Because the look on her face would be it was like she was being punished.

We're not punishing you, Madison. It's okay.

And she was very dainty about it, but it was it was I felt bad for her, but it was also just an annoying chore.

Every single time you let the dog out, you got to stand there for two, three minutes, and depending on what they got into out there, you might really have to work.

Because she had kind of, she was a pool cross terrier.

So it was like more like matted hair as opposed to like clean fur.

And then the mud would get dug into the fur on her paws.

Yeah, I mean, depending on how low to the ground, your puppy sits or walks.

Oh, yeah.

Like a poor old Stanley.

He's like a giant sponge walking down the road.

That's right.

He's like a, he's like a paintbrush.

He's like a mop in a literal sense.

He's such a handsome pooch.

So Barb, you're a winner.

You get the tickets for Terry Fader on August 30th at Club Region Event Center.

Those tickets once again go on sale on Thursday.

The pure imagination tour coming to Club Region Event Center August 29th and August 30th.

In a moment, we're going to bring somebody on to talk about a pretty cool golf event happening this summer in Macling.

I given that people know I love golf.

We called self describe golf lunatic, even though I'm terrible at it.

I'm excited to get out there.

Can't avoid the conversation.

Oh, you must be getting excited for golf season.

Yeah, yes, I am.

And just as I'm shooters has already had their driving range open on and off.

I know South sides got their driving range open.

South wood is opening their dry.

Well, they were scheduled to open it today.

Oopsy daisy.

So I'm not sure if the weather is going to do about that today.

I was talking with my friends at Kingswood in La Salle yesterday.

They're getting ready to they're hoping to be open soon.

We've got the Maplewood passes that we're giving away this week for the tea time contest at 715.

Congrats again to Sean Ashby, who won the prizes this morning.

But I just mentioned Southwood Kingswood Maplewood and we're about to head to another wood.

That's right.

The event is called Holes for Heroes.

It's taking place July 10th at Scott's Wood links out in Elm Creek.

And the man who helped bring it to life is a member of our C.J.O.B family.

We all know him as the Earl of Eli.

Dan Milburn joins us now.

Dan, good morning, friend.

Good morning, fellas.

Great to connect with you.

Thanks for all your texts and your stories every day.

And so this is a tournament that's going to a great cause supporting some incredible folks.

Tell us about it.

So, yeah.

I belong to a group called Cadene veterans and anatomians supporters.

So, surely after it retired from the military fandom, they're a group of veterans and supporters.

And their whole group is all we do is we like to fundraise for veterans charities in their province.

We do meat draws.

We do craft sales.

All out of the ad events, 283 on Portage Ave, the old St. Solar Rank.

In fact, we're doing a meat draw tonight from 7 to 8.

And we also get together as a group and we go volunteer at a gaffy table where we're rebump into debts on the streets every time we're there.

So then with this particular event, when did you sort of hatch this idea?

Hey, let's do a golf tournament.

So, last year I saw a tournament for veterans charity that I really wanted to play in, but it was $2,400 a team, $600 a player.

And as a event turned on a pension, I just couldn't afford that.

So, I came up with the idea and I know there's all kinds of guys and guys like me who want to help our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

And so I came up with the idea for holes for heroes and we can raise the money without breaking the bank.

Fantastic, Dan.

This is great.

So, tell us a little bit more about the event.

We just told folks when it is and where it is, July 10th at Scotswood, links out near Elm Creek.

What's going to be happening there?

Just golf.

You got some other stuff up your sleeve.

Oh, we got all kinds of stuff.

We got some great sponsors.

You know, we've got so many sponsors.

I've been working all winter on getting ahold of people.

We got a, you know, and we got some great sign auction at prizes too.

We got a Westjet trip.

We got tickets for two from Berkswood Auto Group.

We have all the holes, all the Part 3s that can be insured for 10K hole in one or all insured for that.

We've got chicken chef, hand in no chicken.

And if all goes to plan, we will have the most unique shotgun start that's ever happened for golf tournaments.

Explain.

Oh, I don't want to jinx it, but you know, you guys might help with it.

So, you know, golf shotgun start to always start with like a shotgun or an air horn or something.

But I thought, you know, as a golf, it's got to be quite often.

They see a helicopter from the base and portage every morning.

So email the base commander and portage and ask how to go and get a helicopter due to a fly by over the course.

Low altitude.

So everybody gets to hear it.

And so the paperwork's been submitted.

I even had to get permission from the RM of grade and make it happen now.

We just need to make sure that they have a pilot and a serviceable aircraft and it will happen.

Oh, man.

That's awesome.

That's so much fun.

Good for you for that.

And one of the reasons we wanted to talk to you about this as well is there are so many golf tournaments that happen throughout the summer.

There's a lot of work putting not just putting the event together, but it can be a lot of work chasing after people.

You know, anybody who's ever put on a social knows what it's like.

I'm sure to chase after people to buy tickets.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll get to you know, we like to procrastinate in this city and in this province.

And it's probably the same for golf tournaments.

Are you coming to the golf tournament?

I need the money.

But you sold it out in 24 hours.

Yeah, you know, probably because I haven't shut up about it since I started, you know, telling all my friends and family about it.

My daughter made me a poster last year for soliciting sponsorship.

And they, you know, the excitement grew every time I saw somebody I tell them about it.

Even told my garbage man about it and he's playing in the tournament.

So yeah, we've also got, you know, both the bombers and the jets alum.

And I heard about it and they put in teams.

Outstanding, man.

You're a tough man to stay know too.

You already have some vision to move this event forward and grow it in the coming years, Dan.

Oh, yeah, it's, I plan that it's going to be an annual event.

We want to make it bigger and better every year.

We're always on the hunt for new sponsors.

And I've got a few ideas to make it even bigger next year.

Our guest, by the way, is Dan Milburn.

He is one of our listeners whom we finally know as the Earl of Eli,

even actually did an internship here a couple of years ago,

which was pretty cool to have you around Dan.

And by the way, is this like a tip like a, how big is the playing field?

Is it like 144 people?

144.

Okay.

So if you were to try to expand it,

would you be looking to grow it beyond that and maybe have a staggered start

versus a shotgun start where everybody starts at the same time.

And different holes.

You know, I played in an internment last year at the Scotswood,

and they called the Scotswood scramble.

And it's similar to this.

It fills up in like 24 hours.

But they have double that.

And they just, they do a special tee,

tee off.

And it works great.

Actually, we played around in six hours,

which was a bad for, you know, double, double the shotgun start.

How many rounds of golf did you play last year, Dan?

105.

And how many different golf courses do you know?

Probably 15.

What do you like about Scotswood?

You know, the people that's, the course is run by a family,

the assistant family, and like they're great people.

They care about the customers.

You know, the grounds crew has an old school,

or a tech work ethic.

I see them every morning.

The guys are working on the course.

They take really good care of it.

And it's, you know, you have to see it firsthand.

It's just a way they take care of it.

Yeah, I've only had the pleasure of getting out there once.

And that was probably 10 years ago.

And it's sort of my mandate to, to make sure that I get out there,

to try it out this year.

Because I also understand in recent years,

they, they built a brand new clubhouse,

which is apparently quite nice.

Yeah, it's gorgeous, you know, like I,

I was a member somewhere else.

And my friend took me to play there two, three years ago.

And I moved my membership soon as I finished my round.

How do you get away with playing so many rounds in a year,

by the way?

You don't take any flak at home?

Well, you know what?

2004 or 2024,

like 24, 25,

or a great times my,

a wife lost her knee.

And my father passed away.

And my mental health wasn't that great.

And my wife was already buying me funky golf pants.

It's just seeing how I was feeling so good after each round

and how my mental health improved.

So she said,

go for it, play as much as you want.

And I've already got seven rounds in this year.

So pardon me.

Yeah, we went to San Diego for 11 days.

And I was able to play seven rounds.

In fact, she let me play twice one day.

So the, the, the land of,

the land of milk and honey,

San Diego, California.

I hope you had a great time in,

in a place that I,

I like to visit a lot down.

Hey, buddy.

Thanks for,

um,

thanks for being a part of our radio family.

We, we, we are very grateful for so many of our listeners

who become friends.

And congratulations on putting this together.

Congratulations on six,

six, and sharing a little bit about this already sold out of that.

Well, thank you.

And if you guys,

anybody wants to see what our veterans group does,

we do have a website.

It's www dot mic bravo vet dot CA.

It's www dot and be vet dot CA.

The hero of Eli Dan Milber and joining us live.

Once again,

holes for heroes happening July 10th at Scott Wood links in Elm Creek.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

And we appreciate you, man.

Thanks.

Hopefully we can have you guys out next year.

All right,

looking forward to that.

And hey, by the way,

Scott's Wood links is a part of this year's CJ OB,

Winnipeg Discount Golf Card.

And I'm just at the website right now,

Winnipeg Discount Golf Card dot CA.

And they, their deal is,

ooh,

this is a pretty good deal.

25% off regular green fees for everyone in your group,

up to four people.

That's whether it's nine or 18 holes every day,

starting at 12 noon or later.

So that's not bad.

It's like a free person in your, in your, in your force.

Yeah.

They can buy the drinks.

Yeah, then that,

that just by the way is the,

the discount golf card,

it's a steal of a deal.

It's a 49 97,

but a discount golf card dot CA

for all the details and to order your card.

And it essentially pays for itself after like two rounds,

no matter which shoot.

There are some really good discounts on that card.

That's a wrap on the start on demand,

the very best of the start right here on the start podcast.
