Other People's Problems was the first podcast to take you inside real-life therapy sessions. I'm Dr. Hilary McBride, and again, we're doing something new. Ketamine really broke down a lot of my barriers. This work has this sort of immediate transformational effect. Therapy using psychedelics is the new frontier in mental health. Come along for the trip. Other People's Problems Season 5. Available now. This is a CBC Podcast.
We play the mystery game on Fridays to review the week that was and reward one of our listeners for tuning in. We've come up with five questions based on what was on Morning North this week. We have audio clips. from those stories. We've also got Roger Coteva, our technician, and he'll give you a verbal clue on top of the audio clue, if you need it. After each question, we open up the vault, see what our listener wins or could have won. You can win up to five prizes on the mystery game.
And we do have a contestant standing by. So you're going to have to play along and see what you could have won this week on the Morning North Mystery Game. Our contestant this week is Corey from Sudbury. Morning, Corey. Morning, Marcus. How are you doing? I'm doing very well, thank you. How are you doing? I'm okay. So what do you do, Corey? Well, apparently I am right now going to be going to be a school bus driver.
I used to work construction, and now I'm just trying to change the pace a little bit. You know, do something different. Sometimes it's changes. Change is good. And why school bus driver? I guess there's a demand, number one. Well, there is a big demand. I have a son that goes to daycare where my wife works, right? So it's kind of given me the incentive to...
Help my community and do something different. You know, I've always had the role of thumb in my era. Sorry, the going saying in my head that money's not everything. It's what makes you happy. All right. Do you think this will make you happy? I hope so. I love kids, so for me, it's my way of contributing to the help of... what my wife does minus being in her position. So you're going to be one of those
friendly school bus drivers, because our kids, you know, you go through a range, right, over the years, and some are there year after year after year. Others, you know, they switch it up, and you never know what... Oh, absolutely. And you get different characters every day, right? Which makes your day go by even better. Well, the kids are the characters, right? Exactly. So did you take a bus when you went to school?
Absolutely, and most of my life I took a bus. Some of the times we used to walk to school. When I first started in 1994, 1995, I walked to school for quite a bit. And honestly, I miss walking to school. You know, the things you see in the morning, the things you pick up on the ground as a kid, it was like, cool. Now it's like, now I've got to get up. I've got to get into a car.
drive myself to work it's like I used to have a personal chauffeur what do you remember about your school bus drivers from when you were a kid Yeah, a couple of them were really, really cool. Like some of them were just, you know, straightforward, did their job, but some of them would go the extra mile to, you know, make you laugh.
You know, they would be, you know, I had one bus driver, he would do games every night. Like, every night we'd get on the bus on his route, he would do, like, an iSpy or something. It just made the ride even funnier. Like I said, different characters every day, and I never regretted going to school or even anything. I really can't say anything bad about my childhood going to school. When do you start your new job?
Potentially very soon. We're going to be finishing the year with them. So the school year is almost done. So I'm going to be just filling in for now. But come September, I am most likely going to have my own dedicated run, hopefully by then. you know school bus drivers are a big demand so people change Things happen in their life, you know? And I hear that some school bus drivers, they get to take the bus home, like use it as their vehicle during the day.
Well, I wouldn't say they're allowed to use it for a personal vehicle per se, but they are allowed to take it home, yes, as long as you have the room, is what I was told. You can most likely take it home, but now if you live all the way out in Hanmark... You can't take the bus home because our depot is out in Fielding Road, so you've got to think of the fuel and the wear and tear they're going to be putting on that bus for you to take it all the way to Hammer if you're a clone.
They'll let you take it home because then it's kind of pointless for you to take your car to work when you only live five minutes down the road and also take the bus home. But if you're quite a distance, unfortunately, no, they do not. So will you take it home or no? I might during the summer just to make my son happy because he likes school buses and he's five years old. He's going to be sick.
That's exciting. He's big on trucks, big on transports, big on machines, big on everything. He's just a boy that wants to fix everything. Well, let me tell you what your categories are in the mystery game, Corey. They are transportation, sports, environment, history, and education. What do you want to try first?
You know what? I'm going to try education. Okay. We'll go with education. I'll get the hardest one out of the way first. Well, we've been reporting on the financial crunch at universities and colleges in the north, and we heard how one institution will not be accepted. It's really disheartening because we're training students in general that there is always a potential to move forward in growth and development. So what school is not accepting new students into its music program this fall?
And Roger is here if you need a clue. Oh, my God. You don't want a clue from Roger? Yeah. Roger. Is it the Algona University? Roger just turned on his mic. Roger, did you have a clue? Well, I did. It's kind of cryptic, but I was going to say a guy by the name of Al Gomez would feel very at home there. Okay, all right.
No, it's okay. I just have to remember, because I've been in and out of CBC this week, I do apologize, guys. I'm usually a big, like, full-time, all-day listener, and this week I was in and out. I'm like, oh, shoot, I hope I got that one. Well, you did. You got it right. you and a prize. Let's open up the vault and see where you got it. A CBC lanyard. A lanyard. New prize. I've been looking for one. And you know what? Of course.
That's awesome. Okay. So with the lanyard, you can win who knows what else. We've got a transportation question, sports, environment, history. What do you want to try next? We'll do sports. All right. We heard about the golf course in Sudbury. One of them that's sharing its space now. with another sport.
Gilbert is a two-time Canadian champion in that sport, and he's checked out the facility in Coniston. Oh, it's huge, yeah. I mean, it's been a long time coming. The community here in Sudbury have really been, I think, itching to get a championship-level course. So what other sport is now being played on this golf course? Shh, dude, I know it's, I know it's, I think it's Twin Stacks is gathering with 18-hole disc golf course or something. It's disc golf. That's the answer.
In fact, we had a little audio clue for you as well, the sound of the sport. Roger, do you have that queued up? It is going to be a busy season here in Coniston, thanks to a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Yeah! See, that's the disc hitting the chains at the end. Ever played disc golf there, Corey? No, I...
played 18 holes before quite a few times with gentlemen back in the day, but I'm not a big golfer. But who knows? You sure never know. You know, as you get older, you pick up hobbies. That's true. You change careers. All right. You've won a CBC Lanyard. You've also won this.
A CBC pen. All right. A pen. Perfect. Hey, you know what? I love pens. I'm being a driver. You need pens all the time. All right. Pen with a lanyard. You've got a transportation question, an environment question, and a history question left. What do you want? want to try next.
I'll do history. Okay. This week we heard about a book, a centennial project featuring interviews done by Peter Handley. One of the interviews was with a newspaper photographer, Bud Barry, who talks about taking some photos when a couple dozen... Bomark missiles arrived in northern Ontario back in the 1960s and how he had an encounter with a military official afterwards.
what's happened you're on national defense property he said up on the roof he said you see all those men up there they are all armed and they were told that if you attempted to look like you were going to throw something into the compound you were to be shot so that's part of of a story featured in a book of interviews with people in what northern Ontario city?
Uh, that one there, I'm gonna honestly have to ask for a clue on that one. Alright, Roger, you got a clue for Corey. Alright, uh, does the city that, uh, helps out with NORAD mean anything to you? That's a good clue. Betty, that helps with what, sorry? NORAD. NORAD. The radar? The North American Air Defense. Oh, uh, North Bay.
That's where the Beaumont missiles, just north of North Bay, is where they were stored back in the 60s. So that is the correct answer, and that means you win another prize. CBC button. Okay. CBC button. I'm getting everything off my bat. I'm happy about it. I've got to look like
Transportation and environment. What do you want to try? I'll do transportation. That's up my hour. Okay, well this week our producer Warren Schloty took a spin in a somewhat controversial vehicle. I can dial up the power a bit here. And that brings us up to 14k an hour. It feels faster in here. It absolutely feels faster in here. It's always worn driving. It goes up to 14. We were talking about the... Go ahead. It sounds like one of those electric cars there. It looks like an enclosed scooter.
That's exactly what it was. Mobility. Mobility scooters. Mobility scooters. Yeah, it's a mobility scooter. Yeah, it looks like a little mini. It looks like a car. A smart car. Yeah. Smaller version. Exactly. And they're supposed to go on the sidewalk. They're not supposed to go on the road, which is a part of the controversy. Really, eh? Yeah. I didn't know that. I thought they were meant to go on the side of the road. No. If it's a mobility scooter, it needs to be on the sidewalk.
um you are four for four here's your next prize A CBC water bottle. Ah, another new one. A water bottle. All right, so you got a CBC water bottle with a pen and a lanyard and a button, and you got one more question, and it is an environment question. The city of Sudbury is trying to keep something out of its local lakes.
Deb McIntosh is a city councilor who wants businesses to do their part. They're concerned about people slipping and falling as they should be. However, they don't need necessarily that much. So what does the city want to keep out of Sudbury's legs? Wow, pollution is one of them. Can I get a clue on that one? Yeah, Roger's here. I don't know if this will help, but there are chips that have a lot of this and vinegar.
What? There are chips, you know, chips that you can eat that have... Potato chips. Yes, potato chips, my apologies, that have a lot of this in it and vinegar. There you go. That's not exactly the kind of salt they want to keep out of the lakes.
you know the road salt and parking lot driveway salt but that's the answer thanks to Roger I heard somebody yelling out in the background who's in their car with you Corey that's my wife I told her to keep quiet for the rest of the game All right, well, let's see what she wins. CBC mug. All right, the mug is hers. Yeah, she tells me I don't need any more mugs. I got about 10 of them in the house. I collect every mug I can find. All right. So what are you guys going to do this weekend, Corey?
She's working, and I'm going to be Mr. Martin. Okay. Well, you have a great weekend. I really appreciate you calling this week. Have a great one. Thanks so much. Thank you, Marcus.
