      I gotta say, it's not just that thanks to you there are awesome timestamps, but your titles are the perfect combination of descriptive and witty that (in my opinion) fits the content.
      You're so right about listening more actively! Before I started captioning these I always felt like I was probably missing something by not always watching the screen, so now I'm definitely getting every last drop of goodness. :D
      You're doing past episodes as well? That's a pretty freaking great reason to re-listen, isn't it?! Perhaps at some point I'll go looking for them myself, but there are a LOT of episodes, so not likely to happen soon.
      If you'd like, you're welcome to send them to me to get added to the videos. Contact info in my channel's "About" tab or recent episode descriptions.
      It's worth adding, I mean you no pressure or sense of obligation, and always come looking with a sense of "I hope...." rather than "Come on already, where are they!" Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
      Congrats on your wife's new job, and best wishes in the moving process. Life has been pretty exciting for you lately! ✌🍍

    As someone who has lived in Québec for over a decade, I think it's important to correct the record on something here.
    The fire would *not* have been started by a guy named Jean François. Rather, a guy named Keven (imagine "Kevin" but pronounced like it was spelled "Kéveune"), or perhaps Steeve (yes they spell it like that here) would have started it, presumably after dumping a cigarette butt from his four-wheeler.

      @Pace G. Schwarz she knows an impressive number of Québec "sacres", which are the church words the québécois use for profanity. They're all deformations of Catholic lore or paraphernalia, so the tabernacle becomes "tabarnak", the host becomes "ostie", the chalice becomes "câlisse". You can string as many as you like together separated by the preposition "de", and they equate in terms of profanity to shit or fuck in English.
      So to translate 17:45 : "câlisse, tabarnak, je veux exploser le Ski-Doo" = fuck, shit, I want to explode the Ski-Doo
      And then at 17:59 : "Ostie de tabarnak de câlisse de smoke" is like, "shitty goddamn fuckin' smoke"

    I rarely if ever leave comments but the fire section got me heated (ha! - but also rip us) so just a lil word on that: every year all across Canada the fire seasons get worse, to the point of ash raining down from the sky - Alberta alone has evacuated over 35 000 people and we keep losing whole ass towns. There are huge firefighting efforts across the country, but early prévention is the best course of action and once the fires reach à certain stage you ... cannot fight them. For à course in truly embarrassing fire response, take a peak at Alberta - recently having stripped rapid response remote firefighting teams. Climate change keeps hitting us with wildfires, floods, and à never ending feedback loop that keeps getting worse thanks to monocultures, climate change, soil érosion, etc. Looking forward to the wildfire episode, and ensuring that the greedy capitalists who'll see us burn "have a nice time". (ps. doing my best to have sympathy for the city folks who're just now glimpsing the hellscape we live in but ... I can't hear you over our lost towns sry)
