Mrs. Popcorn Goes to Canada
Hey guys! Well we made it to my parents house, and like clockwork I immediately got a terrible stomach flu so starting off strong 🫠🙃
It is beautiful here right now, kids have been swimming (and whining) and staying up way too late (and only I seem to be paying for it). I guess it’s good we scheduled the week mostly off because the internet is approx 0.025mbps here at my parents (they live outside of the city). Not to fear, Ben is trying to set up Starlink for my parents so Elon will save us ;) I’m currently writing this from a well wifi’d Mcdonalds parking lot! ps-Diet Coke is different here.
I will try to get our ST season 6 poll up before the kids finish their happy meals!
This week we were going to have a break of uploads to give the team a little break but we will still have one upload with our YT edit of Mr. Smith goes to Washington which i’m excited for you to see with me if you don’t do the full length watch-alongs. You can take the girl out of her bed, but you can’t take the… ??? I don’t know!
Anyways hope you alll had a fantastic weekend and stay safe in this heat and summer storm season!
Thanks again for understanding as we take this week off and recharge a bit! Please enjoy the 400+ uploads we currently have in the popcorn library.
You rock my socks eh!
Cassie
ps. i’ll be posting pics on instagram of our time here so follow along there! @popcorninbed

Ooh sounds fun!
Cassie there is a show on Max, Discovery Channel, called "In the eye of the Storm". Your fear of tornadoes is straight up. that show showed people going through it and it is scary and leaves you understanding the power of these storms. its awe inspiring how powerful nature is, but it is sad the devastation it leaves behind.
Cassie So all of four of us saw your Instagram posts. We are the spending the day at Calgary Zoo today no PDA at all there are ton of kids here. We are just holding hands today. Back to the Banff National Park tomorrow some creek where we can fly fish at. Apparently? I am really glad you guys are having fun. My gf is loving the picture of your little girl at the lake. She has tears in her eyes so it must be good. (She is a pediatric nurse btw.)
Are you back yet?? Lol. Just joking. When you come back maybe you could bring 'aboot' with you for nostalgia' sake?
I thought you might like this watch how Kate Martin of the Last Vegas Aces eats popcorn https://youtu.be/HPcTnsyxHRU?si=45oSuyEKJrnkffKW
It must take your kids a extremely long time to eat a happy meal. 😉
Cassie, congratulations on the channel reaching 400k subscribers!
That's yuge! She just hit it today?
Milady Popcorn goes to Canada. Just vegetate awhile and enjoy yourself.
Feel better Cassie! I can’t wait for you to see Mr Smith!
Hey Cassie.. totally understand needing the time off.. plenty to watch while you're away. I look forward to more content when you get back. And are you doing Chariots of Fire at all? If so.. any idea when? I love that movie and cant wait to see your reaction.
You can take the girl out of the bed but you can't take the popcorn as well?
That made me laugh way too hard for hard some reason. lol
Now have to check if you have watched Mr Smith goes to Washington.
Hope you're feeling better soon Cassie.
Is poor Wi-Fi a good explanation for getting some burgers? I think so... Have a lovely holiday back in the old country! - the sun is shining in Denmark right now, but the summer has not really checked in here yet. Now I want a burger...
Loved the Diet Coke comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it really different though?
Ah, that picture gives me a surge of nostalgia! (Even though I'm only a province away at the moment: visiting in Saskatchewan.) Enjoy your time, fellow hoser! And please get better.
I'm an American who loves "Corner Gas." When I saw that picture, my first thought was: that looks like the field from the opening of the "Corner Gas" movie. What makes it look so yellow? I've only ever been to the southeastern provinces (Ontario to Nova Scotia), but I'd love to see Saskatchewan some day.
McDonald's, KFC etc etc different in states.Use to cross at Sarnia Ontario and Port Huron. Fast food way different. 🙂 🇨🇦 Enjoy your trip hopefully your feeling better.
For the past several yrs., every summer my WiFi starts dropping during the day primarily. The 1st couple of yrs. I chaulked it up to satellite location, Sun spots, or temperature. Last yr. I started complaining to my I.P. They tried all summer to figure it out including replacing the phone line under the road from their box to my house. I'm typing this for a 2nd time due to the WiFi dropping. I haven't gotten up the strength to call & complain as it will mean waiting for service techs to arrive between 8 a.m. & whenever. June 26th, we had 2 hail storms about 15 min. apart. The 1st one was marble sized & the 2nd. was golf ball sized hail stones. Just settled with my auto ins. for $7,768 worth of damage. I'm waiting for the ins. co. on my house to send an adjuster to evaluate replacing the entire metal roof. I did just find 2 - $5 bills on the floor in frt. of the dairy cooler in our market. I live in a town of 275 people 55 mi. N. of Boise. I took them to the Manager who asked every shopper in the store. Turned out it was our Fire Chief who had dropped them. Waiting for the temp. to drop so that I can get some work done outside. Take it from an "old fart" your family is everything. Enjoy them this & every summer to come. The most valuable thing that I own are my memories!
Is that a field of Rapeseed? We have a lot of that growing around Kent (UK) where I live. I love the smell of them… but they are literally the worst for allergies!
It is that, but we don't call it that anymore for obvious reasons. It's almost exclusively referred to as canola now. The next town over from where I grew up was known as, and promoted itself as, "The Land of Rape and Honey", becoming a bit of a meme online some years back.
I hope you feel better soon! Beautiful scenery for sure though. Have a great time with your family!
Get well soon and have a great time with your family!
I hope you feel better soon Cassie! Love the picture! It looks like Ohio. 😉
I hope you guys have a great time love you guys
Chillax & enjoy your week away with the family xx
Best wishes on a well-deserved break.As far as your PIB library goes, I return often to my very favorites just because they give me joy and reassurance about good people like you out there.
Its like a hug…always comforting and always puts a smile on your face.
Hey Cassie! I hope you feel better soon. Don't worry about us. Always take care of you and yours first thing. In the mean time, I've posted this a couple times to your other social medias but I thought I would post it here, too. ALL 4 Hobbit actors will be at FanX Salt Lake and they are doing group photo ops! It might be something fun to consider. It happens the last weekend of September. A tad bit pricey but also one of those once in a lifetime type of things. Check it out! https://checkout.conventions.leapevent.tech/eh/FanX_Salt_Lake_Comic_Convention_2024/52412
You can take the popcorn out of the girl but you can't take the girl out of the popcorn? Yeah. I can see why you struggled with it. 😄 Maybe it is supposed to be reversed.
Enjoy your "time off" with your family, Cassie. (Although as a mom, I doubt that you actually get a lot of rest. Perhaps just as well that you are ill, since that's one of the few times that moms get a break!) As others have already noted, take as much time as you need, we'll survive at least a little longer without your reaction posts. Besides that, I just wanted to say that your regular update messages to Patreons and YouTube fans is one of the things that sets you apart in the YouTuber community. They are much appreciated!
Hope you feel better soon and hope the kids have a great time with grams and gramps.
I know how you feel Cassie, I guarantee every time I take a holiday I will be sick! Hope you feel better soon. Enjoy your break. 😊
Last holiday I took, my sister passed away the day after my mother’s birthday. That sucked to say the least.😭
Have a great week off Cassie! Enjoy the family time and I hope you feel better ASAP.
I hope I had a small part in the Starlink! LOL I was spamming it a lot in the premieres.
Enjoy your week off
"I immediately got a terrible stomach flu" Ah, Montezuma's Revenge. Quite common when visiting "developing countries." :-P :-P :-P (Wishing you a speedy recovery.)
Also. Thank you for clarifying it’s where your parents live that results in bad internet, not just that they’re in Canada. My internet is great!
It can be pretty spotty on the prairies, being so sparsely populated. My in laws live on a farm ten minutes south of town. In town, I have a terrific internet plan and flawless cell reception with great internet as well. Out at their farm, my cell barely gets a signal and they had no decemt internet options until they got StarLink last summer. I have to download music, podcasts, amd audiobooks to my phone ahead of time when going on road trips as large stretches in any direction from where I live are basically dead zones. It's just how it is.
Feel free to take an extra week off if you need it, we will survive without you for a little while.
Now let's not be hasty......
You guys are getting heat? It's barely breaking 20c here in Ireland.. although having said that I'd much prefer this weather than an unbearable heat wave!
OK, I'm foregoing any upload choices or movie picks in favour of a far more important request. PLEASE STOP GETTING SICK!!!! xxxx
Amen!!
Feel better Cassie. Enjoy your break. Love y'all.
Finally we have an old Hollywood/Jimmy Stewart film again. Classic PIB era returned ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
enjoy the week off, team!
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington Mrs. Popcorn Goes to Canada One fictional character, and one fictional location. :-P Regarding the Diet Coke, I recently tried to figure out the various low/no-calorie Pepsi offerings around the world. The following illustrates my resulting state of mind: https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/022/524/pepe_silvia_meme_banner.jpg
Welcome back, don't know if you drove, but did you make a pitstop in Spock's hometown of Vulcan, Alberta.
I love "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington". Another movie directed by Frank Capra. I especially love the character Saunders, played by Jean Arthur. She is one of my all time favorite actresses. Every needs to see this movie growing up. You learn that there is corruption, but it can be beaten by people with good hearts who are willing to fight with all they have. I get emotional every time I watch it.
Ugh!! The stomach flu…not exactly the ideal way to start your week off in Canada, eh? So sorry…hope your parents can help out with the kids so you can rest and recharge the battery. Beautiful pic, I’m guessing that’s the view from the back of your parents house. It reminds me of the farms on the north fork here in Long Island. I’m still trying to catch up with your most recent uploads. Its been a busy holiday weekend, so I haven’t been able to watch much. But I did take my daughter to see Close Encounters of the Third Kind yesterday. Columbia Pictures re-released it in theatres as part of their 100 year anniversary. It was her first time seeing it, and my first time on the big screen. It was a great experience seeing it with her. Can’t wait to see your reaction to it …eventually. Hope you feel better soon! Get some rest, and stay hydrated. And to finish off your quote - “You can take the girl out of the bed, but you can’t take the bed out of your head” …sleep is so precious. Try and get as much as you can.
Why is the movie title on the pic in german? 😅
And why is Mr. Smith not also changed to "Herr Schmidt"?
Hope you get well soon!
Enjoy your vacay cay. Hope you feel better soon to enjoy the most of it.
Glad you and your family getting to enjoy a great vacation. See, you’ve already tried some Scottish food. It’s going great. 😊 Hope you feel better soon.
God bless, Cassie! Oh, and Diet Coke is the breakfast of champions and cures all ills!
Take it easy and have a good time, Cassie.
Currently in Great Falls Montana waiting to board a private plane to go to Kelowna, BC I pray for you and your family daily. This stomach flu won't last. Not with me saying extra prayers for you McDonald's is like the worst food you can get. Diet Coke huh? I really hate to do this but did you know they load diet pop with a bunch of chemicals that are so incompatible with the human biology that are bodies don't even metabolize them? These chemicals have lasting impacts too. Well they are ready for us My friend from up north is here. They had to refuel and do a safety check. Canada here we come! Can't wait to see the S6 STNG. I have my picks. Praying for you, Ben and Carly + family now. We are all praying 🙏. Much love ❤️, to you. Made it to Kelowna.
Get better and visit Banff/Lake Louise for good measure
So Banff is a real place? I heard that word 40 years ago when I was watching an episode of the brilliant sitcom "Soap". Father Tim goes to a religious retreat somewhere to try and forget Corinne. When she tracks him down and breaks in, she mentions that there's "a lovely hotel down the mountain in Banff". It sounded like such a strange word, I thought I must have misheard it. It's taken 40 years, but someone has finally said "Nope, you heard right." Thanks Bill!
Enjoy your trip and your family, don't worry about us we will survive.
Be well Cassie & Fam 🤞🙏❤️
All I know about Canada is that the Moth's in Canada are no joke.
Thank you Gary Paulsen
Enjoy! Have heard great things about Starlink. This New Zealand family on YouTube has been using it throughout their big trip to the US and they've been able to do periodic LIVE chats during their travels. It's been a lot of fun. Feel better. If you're getting sick a lot it may be your body's way of telling you that you need a minute where you don't worry about the channel at all. You've been pretty non-stop for more than three years. You know we'll be here when you get back.
So true. Listen to what your body is telling you. Rest is so important.
Enjoy your vacation! Diet Coke is different, huh? That's my drink, now have to visit Canada someday.
As I understand it, in Europe they add lemon juice to the cans of Diet Coke. Does Canada do that as well (even for fountain drinks)?
Welcome home, Cassie and family. You're arriving at a great time. It's been hot here in AB. Above 30C most of the week, and the Stampede just started.
Diet Coke is always better at McDonald's... this is solved science. 👌 Enjoy your time back in the Great White North.
Truest statement ever made.
Enjoy your time. We will wait patiently for your return. Thank you to your whole crew, and I agree, these breaks are important for both your health and sanity.
McDonald's parking lot wifi is a lifesaver!
I never considered that. You don't need a code use it?
Have a great family vacation well-deserved!!!
Enjoy some rest! If you can lol You've absolutely earned it, and I hope your time there is healing for you ❤️
Enjoy your time with the family!! Welcome back to Canada!!
Enjoy the break, you all deserve it! And hope you feel better soon!
Have a great time Cassie, you and all the team deserve a break! I'm trying to stay away from McDonalds right now, because I always order the most unhealthy meal: Large Coca-Cola, Large Fries,..... and 20 McNuggets!! It's a bad habit I really want to break!
That sounds so good right now.
Love the canola fields this time of year. Welcome home, and I hope you and your family have fun.
It’s even better when it’s planted next to a purple sea of flax!
Thank you Ben!
