Number of times someone said "period." this episode: 5
after hours of il molino or sotto sotto just talkin women and vino…
waow, this truly is a supergroup of all my fav podcasts, very cool 😎
I think an important note about the named ostriches is that this farm had no identification and tracking of these animals. You know how cows have those little number tags in their ears? That's for tracking injuries or infection or whatever, which requires you to identify these individuals. With whatever 100 or so ostriches, there was no ID system to track individuals. Which makes the fact that these absolute charlatan farmers may not have had the same "Newman" watching Seinfeld with them because all these birds look the same!
I grew up in a village about 50 km from the ostrich farm. Spying that farm was a marker that I was close to the ferry. What I can say about rural BC is yes they are all pilled. Every thing you have said about small towns is true. I will miss seeing the birds the next time I visit my mother.
can’t wait to hear “nanaimo” every episode 💯💯
I see you're going with the "Half of a two-parter for free, half for money" strategy, a thing that Riley tried on No Gods No Mayors and stopped because it made the fans REAL mad. I bounced off that podcast because of that and didn't try it again for like a year. This sounds like a fun podcast, otherwise!
The real reason we did that with this episode is that someone had to leave abruptly, lol. It's not how we plan to do things on a regular basis!
One does not simply walk into the dump.
