How long is your commute?
A San Francisco man is making headlines after he detailed his THREE HOUR COMMUTE. Thing is, he doesn’t drive to work… he bikes!
Alex Heatzig says he burns up to 2200 calories each way on his commute. The reason why he does this: It saves A LOT of money.
How long does it take you to get to work? It might be 10 seconds because you work from home, or it could be two hours like my father-in-law, who lives in Georgetown but works in Pickering!
Let me know!

What else did we talk about this morning?

Daily WTF – Brazilian ‘geese agents’ honk in case of prison break
Geese might run things up here in Canada, but they seem to also run things down in Brazil. So much so that a Brazilian prison is using geese to their benefit. Instead of guard dogs, this prison uses ‘geese agents’, who will will honk at any prisoners who try to escape. They live in a green space between the fence and the main exterior wall. People at the prison say these geese are great their jobs because they’re vigilant. And as we all know in Canada, geese can hold a grudge.
Daily Did You Know – Another local hospital has received a major donation
A big donation has been made to the Georgetown Hospital. Last month, the Georgetown Hospital Volunteer Association presented a cheque at the annual General Meeting. It was for $65,000. The money will be used to purchase new equipment for the hospital.
A big storm is expected in Milton today
Here comes the rain again! After getting a sprinkling overnight, every Miltonian is preparing for the worse this morning. Environment Canada says that remnants of Hurricane Beryl will move into southern Ontario today. We’re looking at 30-40mm of rain today, followed by another 10-15mm overnight. That could continue tomorrow before we see the sun again on Friday. So, if you haven’t left the house yet, bring that umbrella with you… You’ll need it today.
Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Hops to No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
It’s been a rollercoaster ride for Shaboozey. The American born to Nigerian immigrants has blown up after his mix of country and hip-hop brought him a number one hit. His latest single, ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’, is a take on an old Nick Cannon song, and it’s topping the charts this week. It has the number one spot on both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Billboard charts, making Shaboozey the first black male to have both spots, following in Beyoncé’s footsteps, who did the same thing earlier this year. He was actually on Beyoncé’s new country album, so it makes sense that this is all happening now. Good for him, and we’ll see what comes next!
‘Shrek 5’ Set for July 2026
“Somebody once told me, The world is gonna roll me, I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed…” Lyrics of Smashmouth’s hit song ‘All Star’ that had a sudden second life thanks to the first Shrek movie. The movie came out in 2001 and all these years later, is still beloved by people all over the world. Good news for Shrek fans: A fifth Shrek movie is in the works. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz are all slated to return to their iconic roles. Reports says Shrek 5 is slated for a summer 2026 release, making it just in time for the 25th anniversary of the first film… Can’t wait!
Good News – Stolen Kelowna garden gnomes returned, freshly painted
Someone in Kelowna, British Columbia is stealing garden gnomes from homes. Thing is, they’re also returning them better than they were before. According to reports, there’s a secret society of gnome rehabilitators in the city. Gnomes are being stolen, repainted and repaired, and placed back in the gardens in which they were found, free of charge. The stories are being shared on social media, and the “victims” are expressing their gratitude to these anonymous ‘Kelowna Gnome Bandits’… And that’s some good news!
Average person feels tired over 4 hours each day
How are you doing? Are you tired? Well, according to a study by researchers in New York, you’re not alone! It found that this fast-paced modern life that we’re all living in North America is catching up to a lot of us. The average person reportedly feels tired four hours a day, with a total of 1,460 hours a year spent exhausted. Thing is, that doesn’t seem to factor in our weekends and vacation time, so it sounds like we’re just dog-tired during our work days. I’ll ask again: How are you doing? To the parents reading this, I’d imagine you’re pretty tired! Maybe get to bed early tonight…
Kanye West Is Apparently ‘Retiring From Professional Music,’ As He Supposedly Told A Collaborator
Hip-hop icon and general bad human being Kanye West is rumoured to be retiring from music. It’s been a rough few years for Ye. He’s now divorced from Kim Kardashian, is reportedly married again and constantly in the headlines over his new wife. West has also made some horrible comments regarding to Jewish people, which has obviously turned off a lot of fans of his music. His Yeezy business has gone down the drain because of it. Now, it seems his music career might be over, as a supposed text conversation between the rapper and his producer has made the rounds online. In it, Ye says he’s retiring from music. Pretty straight forward, right? Thing is, even if that IS Kanye West saying that, it’s very on brand for the man to say one thing on a Tuesday, and feel the opposite by Wednesday. So, maybe Kanye West is never going to make music again… But when it comes to Kanye West, whether it’s good or bad, never say never.
