00:00:51.580

00:01:04.600
It's been a long, long 30-plus hours of driving, my friend.
00:01:12.440
But, yeah, no, Regina so far has, first of all, the weather on our journey continues to be beautiful.
00:01:23.480
This is probably the best time to have done this trip across Canada.
00:01:28.720
We're not dealing with the heavy bugs that we get in the mid-June to the end of July.
00:01:37.120
We're not sweating in the car, hanging out the window, trying to get a gasp of clean, fresh air.
00:01:51.180
But when we get into Medicine Hat and start heading up towards Edmonton,
00:01:54.340
we're going to feel that humidity, I think, come back.
00:01:56.080
Oh, maybe. All right. Well, that's the experience still ahead.
00:01:58.920

00:02:35.380
And that's what this podcast is going to be, I think, mainly.
1.00
00:02:38.540
Yeah, we're giving an update, plugging the bar, plugging the vagina as a whole.
1.00
00:02:42.980
Yeah, and, you know, it's not unlike us to have some adventure along the way.
00:02:49.080
The truth is, you know, we've really enjoyed the hospitality of people here in Regina.
00:03:03.740
So far, we've had a really pleasant experience.
00:03:05.480
Mike, speaking of welcoming, right as we pulled into the province, you got a pretty warm welcome, didn't you?
00:03:12.580
Now, look, I don't know if this is the standard welcoming procedure in Saskatchewan, but we were barely over the border before on the horizon.
00:03:22.160
I saw a white vehicle suddenly take the center lane between the oncoming and us.
00:03:27.880
And I said to Brady as he hit the cherries, that's for us.
00:03:32.360
This is the only place in the world, I think, you can be looking down the road for about a minute and a half, two minutes, knowing your impending situation.
00:03:43.880
My brother, to your credit, though, we just spent three days driving through windy mountains, dodging animals, dodging logging trucks.
00:03:58.800
and it's just as far as the eyes can see straight yeah and and no no indication of what speed we
00:04:06.660
should be going okay thank you for recognizing this yeah so it's not so much no no no brother
00:04:11.020
i was in the car with you i gotta be honest with you you get wound up in the first day
00:04:15.020
first three days of driving do you have any idea how big ontario is it's insane they need to shrink
00:04:21.020
it a little bit i believe but that's just my opinion and and we'll take it to uh to ottawa
00:04:25.380
see what they say but uh by the time you get out of thunder bay and into brandon manitoba on our
00:04:31.940
journey uh you have done a lot of driving and scenarios uh you know beautiful scenery but it's
00:04:40.100
it's a it's a bit of work when we got here you're right thanks for recognizing that suddenly there's
00:04:44.340
a straight line of road which i have never experienced in my life i i live in toronto
00:04:50.900
there is no means for me to go and just go straight at any speed if you're in toronto when
00:04:56.900
you're on the highway and it opens up even just for a couple minutes like that you're the prime
00:05:01.220
minister to you'd be doing 210 yeah just because you think what the heavens are trying to give you
00:05:05.380
a gift and you don't want to waste it there's only two people to get that i think in this uh in
00:05:09.780
toronto and that is our prime minister and for some reason macron when he came to toronto they
00:05:14.900
shut every road down and he was able to speed around um but yeah i kind of think i got carried
00:05:19.940
away and you're right there is no immediate indication of how how fast we should be going
00:05:25.540
yeah we're only doing 27 over you know that was very specific and not helpful for me for a later
00:05:32.500
court date i don't know why you would say oh we're gonna pay it it's very affordable and i think
00:05:36.420
that's uh one of the other nice things about regina even when they pull you over when you're
00:05:40.980
speeding the fine is so small that you're like all right speak for yourself that's 200 bucks man
00:05:48.180
now having said this the other thing that i thought was really cool about getting pulled over
00:05:52.100
and uh by the way kudos to the officer that uh pulled us over yeah the other cool thing
00:06:00.900
i don't know it doesn't happen to be much let alone in the prairies so by the rcmp which is
00:06:06.740
another thing uh so uh as he pulls us over and uh we're sitting there he approaches the vehicle with
00:06:15.700
um uh an alcohol yeah an alcohol breathalyzer and said it's mandatory everybody that gets pulled
00:06:21.460
over gets the breathalyzer he gave you that before he even took your license yeah and even checked
00:06:26.100
you out he was just like hey i have to do this here you go and you got a souvenir yeah they give
00:06:30.420
you the breathalyzer uh tube and he said to me nobody touched that but you yes i know i'm aware
00:06:36.740
okay uh but he was a lovely guy actually he was a gentleman and said uh this was uh performed by
00:06:42.980
video and uh it was his job frankly just to deliver the ticket and give us the kind warning
00:06:49.120
that uh the speed as we proceeded was it was 110 110 and then it goes down to 80 in some zones so
00:06:56.780
if you're driving through saskatchewan even if you're just passing through keep that in mind
00:07:00.540
110 80 in certain zones uh the other thing i wanted to bring up was so there you go i maybe
00:07:07.580
i have to come back for a court date regina we'll see you again no we're just gonna pay it we're
00:07:12.420
paying it i'll tell you what we'll do we'll flip a coin to see who pays it after the show okay i'll
00:07:16.020
do that actually we can have a we can have a stand your ground competition we'll see who pays for it
00:07:21.380
i don't recommend you do that with the uh berna you will definitely regret doing that we're not
00:07:26.020
playing with that they're not toys so uh now here's the other thing the driving was impeded by
00:07:31.780
something that i hadn't really experienced which was prairie wind oh my goodness well welcome to
00:07:37.940
saskatchewan oh my god so it's one of the only things i forgot to tell you what the second that
00:07:43.700
we get into the prairies it's going to be a wind storm okay so the prairies so far in my experience
00:07:48.820
they've got the uh they're well policed uh you got the wind the wind like you're lucky because
00:07:55.780
you don't just get wind you also get a dust in the wind which is not just a song but a reality
00:08:01.940
uh and it was so strong now we arrived at our hotel today and like we hadn't had enough
00:08:08.660
interaction with the rcmp there they are staying at our hotel yeah what were they doing there again
00:08:14.080
you mentioned they're training they're training guys uh different officers new officers how to
00:08:18.540
patrol on bikes on motorcycles right so that's that's interesting because we've heard about the
00:08:23.860
hiring uh need and it seems to be that they're hiring and training yeah uh which was very nice
00:08:29.740
gentlemen i i oogled their bikes and uh they were having fun with me they're very nice i cannot i
00:08:35.420
think that's going to be the theme of this podcast friendliness yeah everybody's friendly law
00:08:41.320
enforcement we can say that for sure oh yeah very much uh but they were saying your comment to them
00:08:46.500
was how was that ride and they were like wow that was horrible that was really windy yeah they they
00:08:51.600
were and you could see it on their face they were like red in the face this thing was beating on
00:08:55.520
them the whole time they were driving and uh kudos to them for putting up with that because
00:08:59.140
Because I rode a bike many a time, and I couldn't do it in the wind.
00:09:03.560
Oh, I'm sure that I would not be able to handle a Harley.
00:09:15.420
Because I'm so small that this is just a machine that I've got to hang on for dear life, right?
00:09:22.800
Now, these might seem like small things to you, but they're very, very big to two guys who've been stuck in a vehicle together for four days straight.
00:09:33.900
I must say, Brady, if I can take a moment, I'd like to talk about Brady on this trip.
00:09:39.940
This is the best co-pilot for a journey like this anybody could ever have.
00:09:48.560
I wish I could say the same about your driving.
00:09:50.080
thought i was kind of fishing there for one but anyway maybe later on in the trip
00:09:55.720
uh other observations that i think that both you and i made was just
