Hi, he's Dave Shumka and he's Graham Clark and together we host Stop Podcasting Yourself.

Woo!

Hello everybody and welcome to episode number 701 of Stop Podcasting Yourself.

My name is Graham Clark and with me is a man who got to turn off his air conditioning for a few

nights here in Rainy Vancouver, Mr. Dave Shumka. Yeah, maybe not night and they got turned off at night.

I turned it off in the day. We got to have a call at night. When do you make the switch over?

When it's like, okay, I don't need it to be called anymore. I want to be warm under a blanket.

We're talking October. Oh, October or like 2am.

Call him a Columbia. It turns off like a little after midnight if we have it on.

I mean, the planet is getting hotter. It's like no offense,

but it's not taken. I feel like, isn't it, doesn't air conditioning only make the planet hotter?

Yes, they make your room cooler and the trade-off is planet hotter.

I've always resisted it unless it was absolutely necessary, but we've had so many heat waves this

year. It's just been on every day. Yeah, yeah. I'll turn it off when I'm good and ready.

Fair enough. Our guest today, very funny stand-up comedian, it's Claire Belford.
