00:00:51.580 the hospitality and that's one of the things that we'll get into at the beginning of this episode
00:00:55.480 How friendly are the people in Saskatchewan?
00:01:00.740 There we go.
00:01:01.920 I think you were saying it.
00:01:03.360 I don't know why you stopped saying it.
00:01:04.600 It's been a long, long 30-plus hours of driving, my friend.
00:01:08.680 You've done very well, though.
00:01:09.920 Yeah, thank you.
00:01:10.320 You've tolerated me nicely.
00:01:12.440 But, yeah, no, Regina so far has, first of all, the weather on our journey continues to be beautiful.
00:01:19.000 And the temperatures are like midsummer heat.
00:01:22.980 Yeah, yeah.
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.
00:01:33.420 So we've beaten that.
00:01:34.600 We have nice winds.
00:01:35.900 It's not death heat.
00:01:37.120 We're not sweating in the car, hanging out the window, trying to get a gasp of clean, fresh air.
00:01:42.980 No, it's crisp.
00:01:44.520 Warm.
00:01:45.140 It's beautiful.
00:01:45.760 It's beautiful.
00:01:46.380 It's like it's not humidity.
00:01:47.800 No humidity here.
00:01:48.940 There's no humidity.
00:01:49.500 There's no way to call that the humidity.
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 By the way, I want to say thank you to our sponsors,

00:02:08.140 well, in this day and age, frankly, protect yourself.

00:02:25.580 That in an upcoming episode, actually, with the folks from Less Lethal,
00:02:29.660 as they have a perspective, I think, on that.
00:02:32.280 Okay.
00:02:32.520 So here's what happened.
00:02:33.880 We'll give you the update.
00:02:35.380 And that's what this podcast is going to be, I think, mainly.
00:02:38.540 Yeah, we're giving an update, plugging the bar, plugging the vagina as a whole.
00:02:42.780 Yeah.
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.
00:02:54.600 Oh, yeah, love it.
00:02:55.560 Nice people.
00:02:56.460 We came to the bar here.
00:02:58.100 They were so welcoming, helped us set up.
00:03:01.940 So many thanks to the people of 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?
00:03:10.940 Oh, for the love of you-know-who.
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.
00:03:52.280 We get to Manitoba.
00:03:53.820 We're like, oh, okay, this is nice.
00:03:55.220 It's kind of flat.
00:03:56.360 Then we leave Manitoba and we get into Regina.
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.
00:09:06.000 I mean, first of all, Harleys are big.
00:09:07.820 You have to ride a Harley.
00:09:09.160 You have to really ride a Harley.
00:09:10.900 If you're me, the Harley rides you.
00:09:13.000 Right.
00:09:13.420 That's always the way that I used to put it.
00:09:15.040 I got you.
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?
00:09:19.200 Yeah.
00:09:20.140 So there you go.
00:09:21.080 The wind, that was the other observation.
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.
00:09:30.880 You know what else is big?
00:09:31.840 You're doing very well, by the way.
00:09:33.080 I'm trying.
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.
00:09:45.500 Thank you, man.
00:09:46.000 I really appreciate it.
00:09:47.020 Thank you, brother.
00:09:47.220 You keep it going.
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
