Could you please do a birthday shout out for him? I’ll pay you. Just recently some mother from the states said my son is four years old, he loves your show.

Q: In which episode can we view your moves from the 2019 Dancing with the Shuswap Stars? Would you ever do that again? Mike: (Laughs) A buyer telling me I’ve got a deal. Q: “What is sweeter music to your ears: Avery’s laugh or a buyer telling you you’ve got a deal?
