Fummer Lovin'

Jann Arden  0:08  
Hello and welcome to the Jann Arden Podcast. I'm here with Caitlin gray. Sarah, you know what, it's officially fun. It's officially farmer. That's what I was gonna say. It's officially farmer, which is fun and summer joined together. And it's a farmer, ladies and gentlemen.

Caitlin Green  0:28  
I love that actually, Farmer. Yeah. Oh my god. It's the best farmer ever name of episode. Yeah,

Jann Arden  0:36  
some lovin had me a blast. It's time to stop what you're doing. And sit down, get your cup of tea, get your beer, get your watermelon pop. Get your son bag, a sunflower seeds Spitz. Guys, it's splitsies. And I can't wait

Caitlin Green  0:51  
to spit season and you're living in your excavation era as we learned last week,

Jann Arden  0:56  
you know, probably as you guys are listening to this, I am walking the hills of Edinburgh and Scotland. I'm probably out there right now as you're hearing my voice with my metal detector. And I'm trying to figure out how to use it because there's all kinds of different beeps you got to be tuned to some of its metal some of its jewelry. Like there's all kinds of things

Caitlin Green  1:16  
I got to learn. That's your iPhone dying Gen. Either

Jann Arden  1:19  
that or I don't know my last egg dropping Listen, what what do you guys do and Summer is here. It's here. What's happening? What what are some of the things that start shifting in your world I know for me, just got my patio setup. I got new furniture. It was a really good deal. So I bought it, it is so effing heavy. I had four grown men yesterday, carrying the couch part of it onto my deck. It is so heavy, I'm going to have it forever, it's gonna, it's gonna be if there's a nucular war, this couch will still be here with diapers hanging on fence posts.

Caitlin Green  1:56  
That's like our dining table that's out on our balcony. And we had to disassemble our sliding doors to get it out there when we moved in. And so whoever buys our place is just getting a table because there's no bringing it back inside. It's so heavy and it will be there. It will be the last thing standing along with your couch, Jan, but will it has a water table so we we hooked him up with a water table so he gets to stand out there. And it's I don't know what that is. water table is like a sensory placing for kids now. And this one has two tiers. So there's like an upper level that and all the water trickles out of it like raindrops. And then below it collapsing, there's like little boats that go around it and things you can play, you can put sand in it too. And just it's fun little kids love water and so he can stand up there with his little chubby croissant feet and just play around in the water and it's dine

Jann Arden  2:44  
at croissant fee is that because of the wrinkles? They're all wrinkly,

Caitlin Green  2:47  
and they're so chubby and they just wants to me, I can't handle it. They're gonna get eaten? Or could they get eaten all the time? I eat them every day. So then yeah, so he has his water table. That's a real sign of summer for me. I also because you saying summer lovin, I want to hearken to a real life summer loving situation. And I won't out anyone by naming names because I don't want to embarrass them. But there were two chum listeners that engaged with me on Instagram, let's say and I stayed in touch with them. And we just stayed friends. I had them on the air on the show, because they're each very like respectable, intelligent, funny, engaging people who had stories to tell around things we were discussing on the show, whether that was dating, whether that was Taylor Swift, whether that was dining out whether it was travel, whatever it was, there was a reason to have them on the show. So we stayed in touch. And I just kept seeing them both posting about their dating life. And like things I just started gleaning from DMing and I just kind of got this overwhelming feeling like I think they'd be kind of a cute couple. Like I was like, I don't know, I just feel like there's something about these two people that I'm like I kind of did you hook them up? I did. I made a love match with two random charm listeners. I mean, I don't know if it's actually love match but I will say that they have now been talking and have a date in real life and like that's pretty cool. Isn't that so cool? And they're just both like they both usually you know, it's the story of right now where you meet everyone on a dating app. So to have to have them know me from the radio and then stay in touch on Instagram and then be introduced to each other because I was like guys I feel like you kind of might get along even if it was just as fun. So anyways, I'm going to update you but that's summer love

summer loving it is golf season.

Jann Arden  4:46  
i Are you talking about the eight hour golf dates right? Are you dating?

Caitlin Green  4:50  
I think I told you guys this are a little bit about this at dinner. So my accountant I was dropping off some women in media merch to her because I drove her nuts during tax season. It was just a little thank you. And she's like, Oh, I'm actually not at home, like come to this house. And I had been gardening all day. I was disgusting. I was, I guess there's a theme with me being the stinky kid. I was in no situation where I should meet a man. Okay, we'll just preface it with that. So I met her husband, the brother, the in laws. I met the entire family that day. And her two daughters were like, Do you have a boyfriend? Why don't you have a boyfriend? Do you have kids? It was like all the 21 questions. And the husband's brother was laughing. So then the mom and the dad are looking at each other like, like, they want to hook us up, right? So that night, like my accountant did ask me, like, Can I send him your phone number? And I was like, Well, tell me a little bit about this guy first, at least like, you know, I just I saw he had a leg full of tattoos or I think it was an arm. I can't even remember. But I was like, that seems like my kind of guy. And later that night, I got a message that said, Guess you didn't plan on meeting the family before the first date.

So Have y'all gone?

We are talking about going golfing. Okay, because there was like a pre audition in this sense. I'm not as nervous as I normally would be. Yeah,

I like that. I think that that is lost in like, setup culture doesn't seem to be as prevalent now because of dating apps. And I just think people are increasingly antisocial. And it just felt heartwarming and whimsical to set people off. And I think it's a nice feeling. And it's the best I would rather you as a single person. So to like, yeah, so you like that a bit.

I don't want a dating app. I want it to be vetted from someone I know or meet. I like when you've already like seen them operating in an environment and you're like, Okay, I see how you are. Maybe I'll consider that. I would

Jann Arden  6:43  
be mortified. mortified if someone sent me up. Just more wouldn't know though. No, no, I'd be like, I'd be like, don't ever fucking do that to me again. Don't invite people that I don't know. No, I would be. I know. I sound really cynical and awful, but I do not want to go to a dinner at somebody's house and my friends know this about me. Okay, come for dinner tonight. But they're having I think you've met her before but you've not met her husband. Like is that okay? People always check to see my comfort level because I'm that's fair. Good with that stuff. It's

Caitlin Green  7:12  
fair. You want like no new friends so I'm

Jann Arden  7:14  
always worn like, I don't go to parties where I don't know people. Yeah, I just don't and I think everyone's different, but that's just what I can manage. I just at this

Caitlin Green  7:26  
stage in life, like I feel like, you know, my my comfort level with that is like very open. I think that's great. Anyway, interesting. I'll

keep you in mind.

Oh, yeah.

Jann Arden  7:37  
I'll keep you in mind too. I mean, I've never I don't know if I've ever been a matchmaker. I don't know if I've ever done that. I don't think I've ever I don't I don't think I have not consciously I've tried and failed my friends. I've done friend matchmaking. I have introduced friends to friends that has been so great. I have so many times my friends will say oh my god. Yeah, I met those guys through you and now we go to freakin you know, blah blah blah three times a year. It's just like, Oh my God, I didn't know you guys are in touch. It's It's wild. Like a friend stuff. I'm good. Okay,

Caitlin Green  8:07  
let's pivot. I want to hear like you guys both have summer vacations booked? Let's hear let's hear it. Well,

Jann Arden  8:12

Caitlin Green  8:52  
It used to be the Molson Amphitheatre. Now it's Budweiser stage.

Okay, I love it because I can ride my bike there and not deal with any Toronto traffic. I

love it because that's where I originally saw her perform for Lilith fair. I had lon tickets at the Molson Amphitheatre to see Lilith fair, and I loved it.

Jann Arden  9:08

Jann Arden  9:54  
Oh my god, I love so many of her songs.

Caitlin Green  9:56  
I know it's hard to pick.

Jann Arden  9:57  
I just love them all.

Caitlin Green  9:59  
So surrender hits for me sweet

Jann Arden  10:01  
surrender sweet surrenders amazing production value on that alone it

Caitlin Green  10:06  
was sounded so cool at the time and I

Jann Arden  10:08  
will be the one to hold it down. Kiss you so hard. I'll take your breath away I know

Caitlin Green  10:16  
what the AF it's a Harney song I love that album so much

Jann Arden  10:25  
and after she's doing a thing where I think they have jumbotrons and like their how there's a film aspect to it and cameras so I think during ice cream, she she on the Instagram thing she was going if you're singing along to ice cream, you might end up on the Jumbotron or something so, you know, make sure you're singing along but everyone sings at the top of their lungs. They

Caitlin Green  10:47  
should do the same thing with sweet surrender. And at that line they should just do kiss cams of everyone holding someone

Jann Arden  10:56  
she just looks so good. She looks after herself. She looks really happy. And she was on

Caitlin Green  11:01  
in the journey camera early days of the podcast now when she was on with us. Yes, let's have her back immediately. I need her current skincare and beauty regime I think it's called water and exercise and she legitimately go swimming in like a mountain spring near her house. NBC Yeah, yeah, NBC. I imagined her like hanging out with like water nymphs and fairies. I think she knows secrets of the woods and i

Jann Arden  11:26  
He's a fucking mermaid is what she She's. She's so cool. I love Sarah McLachlan. Okay, okay. Why don't you marry her? Anyway?

Caitlin Green  11:35  
Caitlin, you said you have some trips planned.

I do have trips planned. I've got trips. I've got concerts. I'm going to see a comedian named Chris Fleming at the Royal. He's one of my faves. Who else am I going to see on Wednesday, Kurt vile, probably one of my very favorite singers of all time, Kurt vile. So I'm also going to go see him. I'm trying to think of what other concerts I want

to go to that second. Neil. There's going to be a second Neil Young show because I missed the first one at Budweiser stage. Budweiser stage.

Okay. When's that?

July I think

it's that one too. I miss him and Sarah McLaughlin was a lousy Canadian. I am okay. I'm putting these both down in my little notebook. So yeah, okay. So I have that I go to East every summer to see I have family in Prince Edward Island and Kyle is from Halifax so we go out east or bringing we'll we'll do Halifax we'll do PEI. We will definitely have cows ice cream ice cream on the brain clams and yeah, go clam digging, pick some strawberries go

Jann Arden  12:27  
to that's almost like mud larking.

Caitlin Green  12:29  
It really is when you think about it. Sometimes the clam spits at you to be like, yeah,

Jann Arden  12:33  
because you know what? It's begging you to keep stay alive.

Caitlin Green  12:38  
I'm sorry. I'm not saying I eat them. But I will dig them up. And like, you know, when I was a kid I'd muck about with him. I wasn't eating clams as a child throw him back in. I don't know what my grandfather would have done with them. He probably he probably ate them. I didn't eat them. I wasn't into clams as a child. I mean, he's from PEI. So yeah, no, I'm teasing. He's mostly like they're all barnacles. And I say this with love.

Jann Arden  12:58  
I won't I have no comment. I'm totally teasing you. And I think that's very whimsical for to send a kid out. Clam digging in

Caitlin Green  13:06  
my galoshes. Yeah. So yeah, so going out east. Going to Prince Edward County with friends for three nights. We're going to a little area of Ontario called Tiny beach on Georgian Bay. That's near my cottage. Oh, is it? Oh my gosh. Okay. Yeah. So going there for a few nights also with some friends. And then it is I don't know how this happened. But it is Kyle and I 10 year anniversary in September. Oh, somehow we've been married for 10 years. And we are going to upstate New York, we're gonna go to Hudson Valley. And we're staying at a really beautiful place there called Ines. It's a resort and we're going to drive and have a road trip, which we both really enjoy. I love that topography, it kind of reminds me of the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and they have great restaurants and great wine. And just it's you know, it's wonderful. So we're gonna go there and unplug for a bit. So that's the plan. I was going to try to go to Europe, but like I just I can't wrap my head around parenting. In Europe. I don't know why.

Jann Arden  13:58  
Yeah, don't do it. When you do it when you feel calm, comfortable. And when you feel confident. And when we can remember it. You will know I think to go against your instincts is always such a bad idea. Like, oh, wait, we knew we shouldn't have gone we didn't feel good about going but we went anyway. And I got in the elevator with the three guys with the briefcase and I knew I shouldn't have done it.

Caitlin Green  14:19  
Now I'm in the trunk of a car. It's called

an analogy guys like

Jann Arden  14:24  
this is getting an intuition. No, I mean it. Women in particular, override that all the time. Oh, I'm being silly. Oh, I'm being this. No, don't get in the elevator. Don't walk down the street. Don't go. If you're if you're walking towards your car and you fucking feel weird about it. Walk back to where you're going and get someone to walk with you stop overriding your intuition. That's a genuine podcast. Thank you for listening. And it's our Summer Edition, which is light hearted and filled with whimsy. If we

Caitlin Green  14:53  
had a count on how many times between the two of you you've said whimsical in the last two episodes whimsical

Jann Arden  14:58  
is my Word it's my mission statement is it's what I'm dragging forward with me in my life. So if I'm saying it a lot, I am all over whimsical. Like, been on a bike seat.

Caitlin Green  15:12  
That's my plan for the summer bike riding everywhere all the time. Okay,

Jann Arden  15:14  
we are just going to take a real quick break. We're going to be right back don't go where you're listening to the Jim Norton podcast

How do you eat differently in the summertime? Oh, I know I eat differently, but I want to hear from you guys. It's

Caitlin Green  15:32  
just like ice cream incorporated into every meal really? When I go on my bike rides, I literally am looking for the ice cream truck. I don't want to go to a shop. I want the ice cream truck ice cream. I know that might upset you at some points. But I just find like some nostalgia in that ice cream truck. And I got what

Jann Arden  15:51  
do you How does your eating different you've got to have new challenges you're like okay, salad.

Caitlin Green  15:55  
I really like salads in the summer in the winter. I'm not a salad person. I would rather do like my cooking in the oven and all of that in the summer. I'm like a fresh salad with fruit and my protein and I

Jann Arden  16:06  
hate fruit sat fruit fruit and a salad. Really? Nope. I don't want a strawberry and a fucking salad. I don't want to blueberry in a salad bowl Granny Smith. I don't I don't even want a cranberry and a salad.

Caitlin Green  16:18  
Everyone has weird things sometimes with textures and sometimes those are fruits sometimes

people don't want sweet and savory together I like really love it. I have to say I'm with Jan on blueberries. I don't need a strawberry. I don't need a berry in a salad. I tend to stick to the stone fruit or an apple

Jann Arden  16:33  
nuts HAMP hearts I love all sesame seeds, crunchy walnuts. I've been eating walnuts like a maniac lately because apparently they are the best not you can eat that there. They are the king of the nut world. There's something to do with a walnut you're supposed to eat them. I saw it on Instagram. Walnuts are

Caitlin Green  16:51  
a great source of alpha linolenic acid and selenium and omega three fatty acids important from reducing inflammation. In fact, it is the only not significantly high in these omega three fatty acids. So the anti inflammatory compounds may reduce the risk of heart disease. Well, you'll learn it here look at

Jann Arden  17:11  
that. Thank you Thank you walnuts. But oh summer I am all over lettuce wraps and making all kinds of mixtures for lettuce wrap sometimes I'll do like a lentil, like a an oriental lentil with sesame seeds and green onion and bamboo shoots water chestnut water chestnuts are

Caitlin Green  17:31  
the they are the pod there's a tofu company and I forget the name of it. Dang it but they do a pre marinated like a miso a spicy miso tofu and Jasmine. Yeah, yeah. And then you add a bunch of mushrooms and water chestnuts and green onions and it makes them mean let us wrap Jan you'd really enjoy

challenge actually, for the show notes recipe, a summer recipe, Consider it done and I kind of want the like the popsicle recipe that you mentioned last episode would be great easy.

Jann Arden  18:01  
I'll do the popsicle recipe.

Caitlin Green  18:02  
We'll put it on the website but link it in our show notes. Okay, great. And then the other part of this challenge which I feel like you guys are down for our summer playlist. I mean, you started singing at the top of this episode one of your favorite songs that ended up on last year's Jen Arden summer jams playlist but it's time for 2020 fours playlist there's

Jann Arden  18:19  
so many good songs. Oh my gosh, there's so many great songs. Let's also

Caitlin Green  18:24  
open it up to listeners. Okay, so if you send in a voice note with

Jann Arden  18:29  
your yes obviously be a voice No. Dammit. Yeah,

Caitlin Green  18:33  
yeah, you need to explain a little bit.

Why is it a great summer song? What memory does it evoke for you?

Okay, so we're it's not just like songs we're listening to right now this summer? Or can it be all

it can be though? I think it can be all because I know you have some songs on your playlist that you're like, Oh, I'm really into this right now. But I love this one from the 90s like whatever. Yeah, and I

I feel like Bob Seger to me is synonymous with drinking on a dog so I like love that but also right now I'm really listening to a lot of dance music so it's going to be a bit jarring on my end but that's fine. That's

totally fine. Jan, what are you listening to right now?

Jann Arden  19:07  
What am I listening to right now? I'm listening to Agnes Oh Belle. Just the way it sounds OB E L I love her so much. I wouldn't say she's summer but I listened to her constantly doing a lot of dual lupa dual lupa my saying we do

Caitlin Green  19:26

Jann Arden  19:33

Jann Arden  19:39  
but we knew who I was talking about. So immediately

Caitlin Green  19:42  
immediately.

Jann Arden  19:43  
I always pull out the grease soundtrack during the summer. I can't help myself. I just, you know, even 42 years later, it's still so great.

Caitlin Green  19:54  
I have no final I'm obsessed. Free. Yes, it's really good. That's a weird thing I might not have known about me.

Jann Arden  19:59  
I like I like me a little Kacey Musgraves. In the summertime. We

Caitlin Green  20:15  
I know. I'm like, remember going to this anyway.

I don't know. I'm sure I've missed some concerts guaranteed.

Jann Arden  20:20  
There's so much music in Toronto, so much music. Chris and I are going to see pink in August in Edmonton. Oh, that'll be so fun at the Coliseum. So he's in charge of tickets. He's on his way. Today. He leaves. He's going to London today. He's going with his friend and he needs a break. He's been working his butt off with me. So they're gonna be a few days in London. And then they're, you know how you enter those lotteries for the Taylor Swift tickets. Yeah, did he went well. He got some for Lyon, France, like 10 places. He's like, I don't give a crap. I will get my ass there somehow. Well, he got Leon. Wow. And he's always got his outfit picked out. It's so great. He's got this really cool outfit. He's got like really high shoes. He's gonna be like six with six.

Caitlin Green  21:05  
Girls behind him are just gonna be like, Oh,

Jann Arden  21:08  
but yeah, he's off to go see that. I'm not sure where the concert is. But hey, what

Caitlin Green  21:12  
about summer performance venues like I do love Budweiser stage because it's on the water but you've been everywhere. Where's I love

Jann Arden  21:18  
a vineyard. I love a vineyard. Jackson Triggs has an outdoor vineyard. Red Rocks is unbelievable in the States.

Caitlin Green  21:25  
It blew my mind last summer. It I've

never gone. I really want to go I wanted to see Rufus disolved play there and I missed out.

Jann Arden  21:31  
So one in Alberta is a very little known thing. They're known for doing the Passion of Christ every year. It's a huge religious play. That encompasses it's no it is literally reenacting Jesus taking the crucifix up onto his halo door. It's a massive outdoor venue.

Caitlin Green  21:48  
Like they hammer a man up and he's like, Oh,

Jann Arden  21:50  
I don't know. It's in the Badlands. I think you're being a little dramatic right now. I don't think I don't want to get hammered. But it's a reenactment of the Passion of Christ. Okay. Anyway, it it's an outdoor music venue. I've played there once and it is unbelievable. You're in the Badlands. You're basically in a mini Grand Canyon in Drumheller. Cool.

Caitlin Green  22:08  
Very cool. Oh, that's where you always take people for the day, isn't it when you're like planning a road

Jann Arden  22:13  
trip to take people to Drumheller it's best dinosaur paleontology paddler things in the world

Caitlin Green  22:23  
she's just like I'm done with this. I'm not even sure I'm just done I don't need it.

You know the word I mean really ontology? There we go. There you go. Do a lupa paleontological sila Dua Lipa Dua Lipa, also I want to point out has an actual publication like that she puts out I think it's a monthly publication, sort of akin to a zine, you know, a mag, but you know, not regular online. Yeah, online. I don't know if hard copies are available, they should be. But she really specializes in travel because she said that she plans every part of her travel around dining and culture. She loves to travel so much. And I would highly recommend following along and it's B word going somewhere.

Jann Arden  23:03  
Traveling with money and traveling with no money are two very different things.

Caitlin Green  23:06  
I feel like she tries to make it accessible for like fans and stuff though. Like it's like, it's not for like, you know, private jet people like her. Where can I go on points? Yeah, yeah, exactly. But I think she was on a recent podcast that I listened to talking about how much she loves to travel in the summer and where her like favorite hidden gem is and she said southern Albania.

I thought it was gonna be Alberta.

Jann Arden  23:27  
Albania is supposed to be really great. Yeah, I was like, okay, like there's a whole bunch of Latvia, Lithuania. Like there's all that kind of the upper Mediterranean stuff that is very nuts. It's not really on the tip of everybody's tongue but traveling through there. My friend went on a bike trip Sarah to Slovenia. Oh, cool. Last year. She said it was the most beautiful play she has ever set foot on in the world. She goes it was like Italy. 2.00

Caitlin Green  23:54  
my god did like is this someone that plays in your golf tournament that I can ask a million questions. My

Jann Arden  23:59  
my friend Teresa, who was going who's going to be with me in Edinburgh? In Scotland. Okay. Yeah, we're going together. So she went with me and my other two friends to Iceland last year. Okay, so I have a mentor. She doesn't golf. She Teresa. Teresa is not very athletic. Okay. Although she's, yes, she is. She's more athletic than me. She can cycle for like 100 miles a day and walk the frickin Cabot Trail in three hours. You know

Caitlin Green  24:24  
that. That's what she want to do that that's on my list too. I really want to walk the Cabot Trail. She has done the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. So Teresa's quite athletic. Actually, she mentioned

my sister is going to the east coast to celebrate her anniversary of her wedding. And that coming up already? Yeah, yeah. This week is the one year anniversary blessed to be in a new phase of life. Anyway, when they go out east like they were talking about all the things that they're going to do and they decide on Newfoundland and I was like all you're gonna get screeched in and she's like, No, I am not. I'm like you walk into any bar there. You will be screeched in just wait, wait,

she doesn't want Want to be screened?

This is what I'm saying. It's a part of the experience can't

be a stick in the mud about it. Have you both been screeched and

Jann Arden  25:06  
I've been screeched in and it was when I was still drinking back in the day and it was 100 proof. Wrong. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. But I didn't kiss I didn't kiss a fish because the cod embargo was still on you couldn't know there was no cod anywhere you

Caitlin Green  25:21  
fish because there was a trade embargo

Jann Arden  25:23  
I kissed I kissed it. No, it was the cod you couldn't do you couldn't fish cod it was they had stopped fishing it it was endangered. You couldn't cod fishing was done. What a moment in time. I know I'm much older than you and then I kissed a wooden something rather it could have been a dildo. I don't know. It looks like a wooden phallic something of some kind. I don't remember my job

Caitlin Green  25:48  
better for the environment, but probably not where he wants splinters to say.

Jann Arden  25:59  
Listen, another thing I'm going to be doing this summer is I'm going to just be wearing my Wonder bra on my deck. I'm just going to be out there. In my Wonder bra, underpants and bra. Get the girls out. I'm going to have support where there's no wires poking me because wonder bra does a frickin great job of this. So there's nothing poking under your armpit. Yeah, I'm gonna be out there. I'm just I might use it as a bathing suit. I might just go to hell with it. This fits me better than anything else. I'm going to be in my Wonder bra beyond the deck and I'm gonna be waving at people as they go by. It's a wonder bra. Yes.

Caitlin Green  26:32  
As you can tell, we have a new sponsor. We have a new sponsor with the gentleman podcast. Thanks Wonderbra.

Jann Arden  26:37  
And what a fantastic price point. If you have been out bra shopping lately. It can sink you you can like you won't be able to have your summer margaritas because you're just spent 120 bucks on a bra. And I'm not saying that's a terrible thing. Wonder bra has so many great price points. You will find something fantastic in your price range. That is the style that you want. If you like Lacey, I like a flat surface. I like a smooth t shirt a tight bra. I want lots of support. Yeah, I don't like an underwire but they have this bra. You don't even feel it. It's just fantastic.

Caitlin Green  27:14  
Okay, wait, I have a question. And this was a debate that happened live on here when I was a chump between myself and future guests on the podcast, Meredith Shaw. And we both made this realization Okay. When you guys put your bra on, how do you put it on? Do you fasten it? Do you reach behind and fasten at the back? I can't do the behind. So you do it at the front and then shimmy the bra around? Yep. Okay. Meredith does that too. And neither of us knew at the time that the other was even an option. So we're talking on the air. And she's talking about putting her bra on and I'm talking, I'm putting my bra on. And I'm like, Wait, how are you? Why are you putting it on the front? And then she's like, why are you putting on the back and I was like what has happened? And I didn't realize it anyone put it on to the front and she didn't realize that anyone put it on the back. And then we had a poll and it was an even split of our listeners who texted in, shimmying around or just reaching behind my

Jann Arden  28:04  
arms are too short. I can't reach behind like that, knowing

Caitlin Green  28:07  
me, Sir became a mom.

Jann Arden  28:10  
And then you have to lean over. Once you do have your boobs in the cups, lean over, grab your boob, pull it forward, get it in the cup, especially if you've got bigger boobs if you've got the D The Double D's, and you know what sighs don't even worry about your effing sizes. And if you were double D on something, you might be a Triple D or here's a whole mind blowing thing. You might be a G you just want it to fit well. Some women will do a smaller bra just because of the number. No, I'm getting into that 34 C, I don't give a shit. They should be a 36 double D I don't care what the size is as long as it's comfortable. But like I said, I'm going to be out of my Wonderbra. I'm gonna be on my deck. They have such beautiful bras. So many different color choices that literally people would think it was a bathing suit. So if I wanted to do my Wonder bra with a pair of Sports Shorts out on the summer holiday by Jesus, I'm going to do it. Just wonder bra Welcome to the Jann Arden podcast family We are super thrilled to have you on it's all about women. It's all about feeling comfortable no matter what size you are tall, short. I don't care if there's something for everybody and I mean that and once again the price point you will find something that suits your pocketbook something that's comfortable, long lasting, and I've got a wonder bra on right now. God strike me dead. But did we did we finish the food conversation like do you guys do those swaps? We're gonna put some recipes on the show notes for sure this episode so barbecuing Are you? A barbecue errs? I want to talk about Okay. Yes, veggies. I love grilled corn. I love squash. I love

Jann Arden  32:57  
Why don't you just shove it? That's a good one to listen as we leave. Caitlyn brought us this according to a new survey. This is a fun way to go out of the show, okay. By talker research, and this is more about the Americans than us. But I think we are joined at the goddamn hip. And I think things that bug them bug us too. So these are the things that have annoyed Americans slash Canadians just above them in recent months, Caitlin, go tell us what the hell they are.

Caitlin Green  33:27  
I'm gonna start at number 20 And we're gonna work our way up to number one. Okay, so coming in at number 20 text language or abbreviations we're done with them. We don't like them. People don't want to hear it. They don't like it. They won't use the full apparently movies being too dark a min sister. Tell me Yeah, say it louder. talker research because it drives me nuts and movies are way too long. They're way way way too long way too. That's why the Memorial Day weekend slumped because nobody wants to go see a three and a half hour long note and they don't parking. Yeah, that's number 18. That annoys everyone. 17 tech billionaires that should be higher, but 12% of people kiss my ass. And then 16 computer issues. Yes. From tech billionaires to tech support. Everyone can agree we don't like them. 15 self checkouts.

Jann Arden  34:11  
I hate checkout hate them or can hate them so much. Go away. I'm divided. They

Caitlin Green  34:16  
are so loud. Like as someone who works in audio. I'm like at the back of the store and I can hear the friggin self checkout talking.

Jann Arden  34:23  
I always need help. I always hit the help.

Caitlin Green  34:26  
Don't always just anti socially want to buy tampons, or am I the only one where sometimes I

Jann Arden  34:31  
am a man or a postmenopausal woman. Good luck with that. It's going to be hell have fun.

Caitlin Green  34:35  
It's better with condoms moving on. Okay, all righty. Moving right along to number 14. And this you sick idiots I completely disagree with it's reality TV, and I won't have it. We're not

Jann Arden  34:47  
gonna have you'd crush ours Caitlin with this outrageous thing on your list by the way.

Caitlin Green  34:52  
Lisa Vanderpump is on call her daddy this week.

Oh, like I haven't already listened. Okay, okay. Good. Number 13 artificial All intelligence Okay, well yeah, it's gonna slowly take over the world and eat our soul. So I'm in agreement with that 112 products locked behind plastic on the shelves. Yeah,

Jann Arden  35:08  
razor blades. Why is that behind a fucking locked cabinet?

Caitlin Green  35:14  
Oh and by a lot of people and some probiotics I know I don't like to we just want nice gut health. Well, Galen Weston, don't put this don't lock this up for us. Okay, then number number 11. Is ticket prices. Amen.

Yes, absolutely. They're in court with Ticketmaster. We'll have updates on that soon.

Biden is taking on hidden fees as a way to curb corporate greed because he they can't really do anything about government like government's really can't do much about inflation effectively, as we all know. So anyways, I want to say if you want to look into that, there's some stuff going on there in the US. Ah, number 10. TV volume being too loud when they don't mix things properly between the show you're watching and then the ads that come blaring through the screen I just can't deal ads are

Jann Arden  35:52  
always louder. I always have to hit mute. It's so stupid. It's been like that forever. This is a survey by talker research things that have annoyed American slash Canadians in recent months. So we are on number nine. This is

Caitlin Green  36:05  
we're in the top 10 Now everyone, okay, music you don't like hell? Yeah. When you don't like the music that's playing somewhere. Nothing is more annoying to you. I just thought Yeah,

Jann Arden  36:12  
my dad had never liked music in a restaurant from the time I was born. Can you turn that God down music down. That was my life.

Caitlin Green  36:21  
I once went to a restaurant and they had someone who obviously had hooked their phone up to the Aux playing into the entire restaurant. And they didn't pay for Spotify Premium. And so we were all sitting in a massive restaurant in downtown Toronto listening to Spotify ads. It's the most embarrassing moment of all time. Okay, number eight on that note, tipping culture. Tipping culture has run amok and when you flip an iPad around and show me that I'm expected to pay, you know, 20% on groceries or whatever I've just picked up from a market and picked it got it myself off the shelf. You're not getting anything out of me. Okay, number seven social media trends. Whatever they are, I mean,

Jann Arden  36:56  
spinning your dog around while filming his asshole. I don't know. What is it social media to work?

Caitlin Green  37:01  
We're not exactly trending. We're just we're just here to follow

the trends but I'm not cracking an egg on my baby's head. I think Okay. Number six customer service or lack

Jann Arden  37:11  
thereof. Yeah. Terrible customer service. Yeah, they're

Caitlin Green  37:14  
like oh longer than normal wait times it said longer than normal. wait times at most places for like five years. Maybe you need to hire more customer service representatives just saying number five, the weather. All right. I don't know.

Jann Arden  37:26  
Well, it's flooding everywhere. If I see one more dog fucking float down an overgrown River. I'm gonna I'm literally going to solve myself into tomorrow.

Caitlin Green  37:34  
I haven't seen the thought on my algorithm. Okay, that would bother me. Number four crowds. Yes. Hate them can't stand a crowd. So I leave early from short

Jann Arden  37:42  
can't be in a crowd. If I can't do my bra from the back. I certainly can't be in a crowd.

Caitlin Green  37:48  
All right, number three. Number three, someone else's driving habits. Oh, yeah, I

Jann Arden  37:53  
try so hard to be friendly to people. I try so hard to let them in. I try not to her all the time. You just have to try and I'm out there trying folks.

Caitlin Green  38:01  
And I'm the Uber passenger. And so nothing will drive me more insane than someone who doesn't know the way around the city and then gets upset when I tell them about a route because I usually talk to talk to

Jann Arden  38:12  
number two do politicians fucking ding dongs? No one likes them.

Caitlin Green  38:17  
No one likes them. I

Jann Arden  38:18  
don't even know what they're thinking. Red Hat blue hat orange hat. We need more women in politics. And I will the only person I'll take off is Danielle Smith. She should not be in politics at all. Take her off the list. She's a dingdong. But there we do need more women we meet Danielle Steel, because she could do Danielle Steel. I love she's an author. Yeah. I used to think it was Daniel steel thought it was. But it's not. Yeah. Just a horny fella. Okay, and number one.

Caitlin Green  38:44  
Number one drum roll grocery

prices of friggin course. It's grocery price. Yeah, of course. I bet you Galen Weston really regrets making himself the face of that business? Because like, no one knows who the head of Sobeys is?

Jann Arden  39:00  
How much money do you need? How much money do you need to make off asparagus? How much money do you need to make off peanut butter? How much money do you need to make off a package of spaghetti? Guys, come on. It's awful. My

Caitlin Green  39:16  
father used to work in packaged goods. And he said back in the 80s when inflation is skyrocketing, he said we we at the packaged goods companies would push it as hard as we could to get away with price increases that we felt the public could stomach so like it is 1,000% corporate greed. I don't want to hear some song and dance about like, oh, Russian oil prices shot up. That might account for a little bit of it. But the historic highs that we are seeing for grocery prices. No, absolutely not. And you're the number one thing annoying people right now. So you really want to reconsider that and

in the spirit of summer, have a garden grow some of your own shit. Gardens

Jann Arden  39:50  
are fine. And you know what if you're if you have a little balcony in your apartment, you wouldn't you would blow your mind how you can grow potatoes in an upright thing. It's really super easy. Yeah, go online. If you carrots are super easy all your herbs you never have to pay fucking $18 For basil again you don't, you can grow it in a second you can grow it and you can buy a little basil plant for two like $1.99 In two weeks it'll be giant you'll pinch off it all summer long. Anyway that's all the time we have. Wait last

Caitlin Green  40:19  
but not least Have you heard of the new company that's coming in with odd looking produce called odd bunch Canada? No. Okay, so it says fresh odd looking produce delivered to your door for less than the store and they deliver like the wonky looking fruit that like people don't buy and that like well, if

Jann Arden  40:37
