Welcome back to the Tuesday mashup where Mr. Boxhead is taking his sweet time tonight, folks. We had technical difficulties. You have to bear it with me. I have a mustache. I can't see it. You're kind of in the dark. And the last couple episodes is what I've been on the road. I haven't released all the video because it takes longer to upload.

And we do it such late at night, blah, blah, blah. I'm making a bunch of excuses. We're bringing you this fine audio to tickle your eardrums on a Tuesday morning. Well, where are you out right now? I am in the basement of a house at an undisclosed location. Kind of like Justin Trudeau on most of his visits across Canada at this point. Or wherever he goes. Yeah, because wherever he goes, he literally can't tell you where he's going.

Otherwise, protests or show up. Yes, which we're going to get to shortly. Okay, well. How well can you hear me? Like, is this better? Yeah, that's better. Okay, all right, we'll do this. Pull that sucker in.

Yeah. It could get interesting, but I'll try and, yeah. You realize we're rolling right now. I'm not worried about this one. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, well, let's just, let's just get going with the actual news. Can we, can we start? Can we start with Calgary Flames?

I feel like Christmas came a little early. In a sad way, because I like, you know, you guys haven't trony hockey all the time. I'm kind of like, you know, a little man who could but can't in the playoffs. It's kind of nice him being there so we could just kind of kick him around. but now he's going to Columbus. You guys win four fucking games and it's all I'm going to hear about for the rest of our lives.

And I'm all the places to go to Columbus. I know. Like he chose. I want to win a Stanley Cup. I'm going to go to Columbus. Like you'd have better luck moving to fucking Moncton. The only other worst place probably in the NHL at this point is Arizona. Like he literally could have,

but you could have been like, well, at least it's nice there, you know. But he chose Columbus. Nobody chooses Columbus. No, no, like, I wonder if it was a hazing thing or he lost a bat or something. Or he saw Evander Cain signed back with the Emmetanoist. That could have been in. I just can't.

I can't take it. Can't take it. Let's move on to some things on the headlines. You're getting very, very vindictive with this buzzer. Trudeau. Well, I am the buzzer man. And therefore, I get to decide. Trudeau fiddles with, uh, fiddles while the economy burns,

amid rising inflation interest rates, what you got? Well, this is unexpected. Even I didn't see them going 100 basis points in terms of the base interest rate. This is something we haven't seen hardly in our lifetimes. I actually just got a new mortgage February. And I went in with a variable because I was like, well, you know what? I mean, they're not going to go more than you like to live dangerously, do you? Well, statistically speaking, you're better off with a variable mortgage over a fixed rate mortgage over almost any course in time in history.

It just so happens that- Just our course in history. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's funny because like eight, nine years ago, I said things are going a little bit sideways. I'm going to go with a 10-year fixed. And that didn't help me at all.

You know, it's funny. I'm in a 10-year fixed right now, too. I'm feeling pretty good. Yes. Good for you. you know for people who don't understand like uh middle of COVID you could have got a a five year fixed and a uh one four nine okay right now on true north uh mortgages it's 4.5 for a five year fixed that's fixed that's not variable that's fixed but do you have to know kandis malcolm

to get the true north have you're fixed that's i mean those guys do everything right that's right Do you want to add in anything else? We got 13 seconds. Somehow we should talk about what's actually happening. Basically, basically we've been spending money like crazy. And Christian Freeland and everybody else in the liberals have been saying for the last couple of years,

who cares? Don't worry about it. The cost of boring is very, very low. And other people have been saying, yeah, but it's not always going to be that way. And they said, get out of here,

you racist hooligans. I found this interesting. There are 276,000 more private sector employees now than in February of 2020. But, but there are 280,000 fewer self-employed entrepreneurs, which, I don't know, do the math for me too. That's private sector, right? I know exactly what it's like to be a.

And then it said, meanwhile, in the same time, 411,000 more people are working in the public sector. You can understand why people are like, it's time we downsize our government a bit. It's a harsh truth that nobody on the left ever wants to admit, but public sector jobs are a drain on the economy. And whether it's chicken or egg, the bigger your public sector is, the worst your economy is.

RC&P commissioner told Ottawa not to publicly share details of weapons used by Nova Scotia government. We've been talking about this for several weeks now. Elaborate a bit. Well, this is, we could make this one of the short ones. But basically

what happened was, was that five days before Brenda Lucky had that supposed the legend meeting, Brenda Lucky being the commissioner of the RCMP, the head honcho of all cops in Canada, berated the people investigating the Halifax mass shooting, saying you need to release these details because they pertain to some upcoming gun legislation that the liberals are putting through. And five days before that, she specifically said to Bill Blair and his group of cohort or whatever, we can't release this stuff because it's part of an ongoing investigation.

And then five days later, she's yelling at her people. So what got said in the five days? And wouldn't she like to be a flying wall to know what on earth was said there? I feel like what got said in the five days was we picked you, not because you were the best person, but because you checked the right boxes. You're not the only person who checks the right boxes. If we'd have picked the best person, they'd have been the best person and we'd have to work around them. But you're not the best person.

You check boxes and there's lots of other people that do that. So do you want to tow the line or do you want to get out of the way? Well, either way, five days later, she's towing the line. She's literally doing what they want her to do. Five days. Try to face. Yep. Farmers to slow roll protest here in Saskatchew.

This is fun. So, I mean, we've been talking about this a little bit. Everything that's going on in the Netherlands and how they want to shut down all the farmers. and then apparently from Moose Jaw to Regina, which isn't a huge track, but it's notable anyway. There's going to be a slow roll on the 23rd. So that's coming up this weekend. And they're just going to kind of slowly, not totally block off, but just inconvenience, all the drivers that go from Moose Jaw to Regina, which isn't really a whole lot.

I mean, who wants to go to Regina in the first place? But it's a way to show a little solidarity with what's going on over there after everywhere in the world did a, did a slow roll convoy, it felt like after the truckers, right? Did you see the kids? Did you see the kids, a little slow roll they had over in the Netherlands? It was one tractor followed by, I don't know,

100 kids being in like little tractors going along there, playing music? Oh, like little kid tractors. Yeah, yeah. Nice. Yeah, I was like, nobody can really get mad at that. Somebody will try and inevitably get mad at that,

but I thought that was pretty good. Yeah, I mean, it's not like it's bouncy castles or anything. How about the establishment going, it isn't, this isn't, it didn't read two's going after Daniel Smith. This reads, the establishment is going after Daniel Smith. She's come out early polls. It's looking like, you know, the next premier of Alberta is going to be Daniel Smith. And then maybe not. Maybe they're not going to allow her to run.

Well, so she comes out with the Alberta sovereignty plan where she basically says that if the federal government passes any law, that suck for Alberta and are going to hinder Alberta, we're not going to follow them, which is fairly common sense. And this is, I felt like we needed to talk about this, despite my absolute misgivings. I feel like,

are you coming around on Daniel Smith? And I knew you were going to go there. And that's not what I'm saying at all, okay? I'm not defending her. I'm saying that she has some good ideas. One of them, she directly, I think, plagiarized from one of our first episodes

where I was on your show. But, but, but, she's listening to the Sean Numa podcast and twos go at it. I feel like you can't blame her for that. That's right. But,

but anyway, the thing about it is is that she does, she is presenting some really good ideas. And because there's such good common sense ideas, the idiotic, far left, anti-common sense establishment is just going after her and just being like,

well, that's, that's just ridiculous. you can't do that. So isn't it interesting to see? Isn't it interesting I get to sit with Travis Taves here in a couple days? That should be fun. Because I mean, that's the guy that's attacking her, right?

I would ask him specifically why he thinks capital would flow out of Alberta rather than into Alberta in lieu of that sovereignty plan announcement. Like if that was to go through why he thinks capital would go out, rather than come in. I tell you what, for twos, I will do my best. How's that?

Now, do you think with nine seconds left, Daniel Slith, is she starting to win twos over a little bit? She's starting to win twos? The ideas are solid. I've never had any issues

with anything she's had to say. It's just, it's just the floor crossing, and I don't know if it's not going to happen again. Really? Really. Maybe not specifically like that, but here's the,

thing is I swear this is tin foil hat but I swear to God that I think there's there's something more to the story and until it's out in the open I feel like there's a chance that she might have something hanging over her or whatever else whatever it might be I haven't had any assurances that this isn't going to repeat and that's the thing interesting interesting okay the disastrous consequences of the green movement you guys got a minute and 15 because you've been chewing into with where the hell do you want to begin start with can we start with germany can we just can we just lay out germany and just fire away with germany like it's so well it's germany slash russia slash ukraine slash canada yes but germany gets a lot of

its natural gas from russia and russia had a bunch of turbines for their natural gas pipeline in montreal getting refitted or refurbished or maintenance or whatever it was when the sanctions came in and so then Canada said well you can't send those fuckers back and then Germany said well we really meet those fuckers back we have no natural gas we have no natural gas if you don't send them back to Russia and so then they lifted the embargo we're gonna here well they conditionally lifted the embargo for that specific thing because everything the liberals always pass has an asterisk in it for fuck's sake so anyway they said okay well this one's okay so we're going to send it back and then Zelensky himself is calling out Trudeau

for being wishy-washy, and you're just like, okay, well, that just completes the list. That's everybody in the world that's ever called them wishy-washy at this point, right? And so it's just, it's funny how they want green energy until it inconveniences them, and then they have to realize the stark reality. And it's just, it's just day after day, week after week of this. Like there was that protest. The EU. You had people protesting the tour to France, and they were glueing themselves to the asphalt,

and they were using smoke bombs protesting the tour to France because of fossil fuels. You're protesting bicycles because you don't like fossil fuels? Could you get any more contradictory? Come on! It's funny because, like, you know, they literally do everything in their power to get away from coal and all these, you know, whatever. Which makes, like, Russia pretty formidable now because, like, they're literally supplying. They're the only people who are like, hey, you don't. Let us know when you need it.

Yeah, that's right. We'll keep going. We're right here. Keep going. And you know the guys you could help out Canada? What are we doing? Now we don't want to do any of that. Except we're going to put an embargo on. And then as soon as Germany pushes on us, we're going to leave. Oh, man. You just can't make this stuff up. You can't. I mean, seriously. Like if you're expecting one country of the world to bend over to Germany's whims, it should be France, not us. Bank drop Sri Lanka seeks extra billion dollar loan to pay China. Yeah. So we've got. So we've got. all these world leaders all across the world. Italy, they just lost theirs. There's Sri Lanka. There's the UK. Panama. Well, yeah, Boris Johnson. Boris Johnson stepping down.

Yeah, the Japanese prime minister got killed. And then in Panama, they're having mass. And we touched on like five other countries last week. Right. And now it comes back to Sri Lanka. Yeah, what's crazy about this isn't that just with the world leaders for a second. Isn't that it's like, I don't know, Sri Lanka? as is a world leader steps down.

I don't know. Who's batting an eye over that? Really? I mean that in all respect to Sri Lanka. UK, Boris Johnson, stepping down. That's a big deal. Japan's is... It was the last time we had a world leader be assassinated.

I don't know. Well, that was in like one of the bigger nations. That's what I'm trying to point out. Well, yeah, I mean, we've had coups and stuff where like, you know, Hillary Clinton gets rid as somebody she doesn't like anymore on a whim. I mean, that happens every week. It doesn't even bother getting covered in the news. news. But you're right. Panam, pan them on now. The Estonian prime minister just resigned too.

Did you, did you see the, so we were talking last week about the, the presidential mansion or Prime Minister mansion, Sri Lanka and everybody going in there and out of a party. And then, and then they said in the article this week, you know, they even had like, bizarrely, they used his soaps and were, they're showering and his shower and stuff. I'm like, probably not. It was probably a kick-ass shower. And then at the end it said, after the party had finished, they cleaned up. And I was like, now that's total convoy move right there. That's total convoy.

Here's the other thing, though, right? Like, if your country's collapsing, when was the last time you had a bath? I don't know. Maybe, like, I don't know. What was the last time you were in a presidential mansion to? Me and you might go be like, have you seen his shower in the soap season?

I didn't even know that existed. Yeah, it's probably some ridiculous. I mean, not Sri Lankan soap because it's boring there, but he's probably got some exotic Canadian soap like, Listen, I'm reading a book on Churchill right now. And he's talking about when they move into the prime minister's mansion, bringing over like 35 pounds of some soap that the Napoleon used to use and stuff like that. And I'm like, where are what kind of soap? Napoleon used to hang the Mona Lisa in his bedroom.

Well, I'm just saying, right? There's probably a lot of cool shit in that place. Different world. Like, how many secret passageways and stuff are in that? I have no idea. I don't even know what we're talking about. There's a lot going on there. federal government to provide more than 35 million for support during the papal visit the

the yeah the so the pope comes to visit and it costs Canada 35 million dollars which is roughly a dollar per person but at the same time 35 million dollars for a visit for a trip I mean what do we who does he think we are S&C Lavalin do you do you just get the feeling that we live in I know I say this a lot, but we just live in different worlds. When does, when does the Tuesday mashup go on tour and get a $30 million party to come on over to like, say, France? Anywhere. Right.

I wouldn't, I wouldn't go to France for Nashville or something like that. Nashville in a second. Tennessee is a great place. We're going to roll out the red carpet and spend 30. What do we spend 30 million on? I don't know. Like how do you even spend? Nice buzzers with gold plates.

Seriously. We do need to look into upgrading the buzzer. at some point a little bit more yeah yeah but i mean think about it like how do you even spend that amount of money on i don't know but i would really like to try i would like to them that's be like listen pope's coming for a visit we got 35 million dollar budget we would like you to spend it do you think you could yeah i mean i guess mike tyson is going to be the doorman and we're gonna get everybody gets their own giraffe i don't know like what do you even spend that much money on how do you where does it all come from where is it where does it where does it all

go. I don't know. I don't know. Chris Saly. I hope I said that right. Stephen. Stephen Giedelbaal. Yeah, thank you. Train in vain. He was talking about going across the country on trains to see all the country to hear about your climate change needs and wants. This is one of the best articles I've seen in Canadian news in a long time. And so for the backstory, when Stephen Gilball and Catherine McKenna and all, a whole bunch of other random assholes, went to Scotland to talk about climate change.

And then they flew across the ocean to video chat each other in separate rooms. He made the announcement that he was going to travel across Canada by train to talk about climate change. And he didn't really think it through at the time because via rail doesn't even go to four of the provinces or any of the territories or anything like that. And the schedule is so tight that like if you get off to do, say, you know, a one hour press or something like that. you got to wait four or five days for the next train to come through. This is not convenient. This isn't well set up for anything like this. But he was just like, oh, yeah, it'll happen.

Oh, yeah, it's fine. We'll figure it out. And then harsh reality came crashing down. And he's kind of just been trying to sluff it off on this impending strike that's coming and reduced COVID service. But this guy, Chris Selly, he goes through and he breaks it all down exactly where this is just nothing but a pipe dream that nobody even thought about before they promised it. This is just all shenanigans. and showboating and it was just all talk and no cock. There's the buzzer.

And announces funding for housing and they look like a bunch of jackasses. Yeah. So that's my mine again. It's just funny how they do these things and they dress up like like I figured it tied in. I figured it tied in perfectly with with the trains into the housing and you're like, we are being run by clowns. That's pretty much it. absolutely are.

And then they later on deleted that tweet. Actually, not even later on. They deleted it sometime today because I put that in this morning. And I was looking at it. And then it just came up here as page doesn't exist. But the other thing, Marty up north, our good friend and fellow Albertan. Albertan. Yeah.

Well, Marty's been on the podcast multiple times. He's a wicked dude. Yeah. And so he points out. He said the government will build 46 homes for $53.2 million. That's 1.1.1. five, six, two one per home. And I would take that.

I would take that. Again, like, what the hell, like, a one, almost $1.2 million house? Like, this is, this is just ridiculous. I don't even think they're looking. I don't even think they care. No, they don't. And then, no, no, no, no, don't, don't,

don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, put that down. What do you go for me on this? At $1.1 million, they can, they can get me past the buzzer. They're going to. Okay. You got, you got, you got, you got, $3.1 million per zero trees. And then the Department of Social Development spent $662,797 in one year preserving French in the Yukon. The territory is at 82, 85 unilingual, 85

francophones. They spent $622,000 on 85 people just to preserve the language. Do we actually think they spent $600,000? Or do you think that's kind of where they shuff, hold off some money hoping nobody would find it. Well, it all just disappears in the cracks. It's the same thing like when you had Candace, um, oh shoot, uh,

from Sundance construction. Yeah, yeah, Joshlin Berwick. Or pardon me. Yeah, Jocelyn Berwick. And so she just talked about how yeah,

there's all this fun. All this money. By the time it goes through this level and that level and that level, by the time it actually trickles down, there's none left. And this, it's, it's not just first nation's housing.

It's French language, preservation. We have $600,000 in the Yukon to spend on French immersion. Beautiful. What are we going to do with it? We're just going to say we're going to get a bunch of analysts. Analysts. It's all analysts and parties. To find those 85 residents. Here's one. Here's one for you. Court documents allege MLA conducted brute force attack on Alberta vaccine record site. I found this one, extremely interesting. Like, this is, this is insanity. Yeah. So the story goes, and it's all allegedly, everything we say is allegedly.

So Thomas Dang, who's a former NDP MLA, he's now sitting as, now he's an independent. Yeah. So supposedly somebody reached out to him and said, hey, so there's this vulnerability. And so he just happened to say, well, I happen to know a thing or two about hacking. and so he sits down on his computer and makes a brute force white hat attack. 1.7.8 million queries. Queries on before. Yeah, so he was specifically looking for Jason Kenney's vaccine information.

And after four days, he got a lock on some woman where most of the information match, but not all of it. And then eventually found his stuff. And then he got one of his assistants to say, hey, this might be a prank, but somebody said that we have some vulnerabilities. You guys need to look into this ASAP. And so he just kind of tried to like, rather than just being like, hey, guys, I'm Thomas Dan.

Look what I found. Let's look into this. He was like, oh, yeah, somebody told me, you know, I heard from somebody who knew a guy that got his tires changed by another dude who cracked into this. So let's, let's figure this out. And so obviously it was something that he knew he should feel guilty about rather than rather just being like, hey, you know what, I'm doing this and I'm capable of it. And it's a whole of the system.

Like, I'm sure if he had jumped out like that, it would have been a completely different story rather than him trying to. Whatever he was trying to do. Or not for the NDP. Yeah, be like, oh, yeah, I just found out about this. I find it really interesting that we have an MLS. It was crazy.

That comes with 10 years jail time. And now they've changed it so that he's only got a possibility of a $200,000 fine instead of that. Found that interesting. Yeah. So, I mean, you don't even technically have to be empowered. the rights and privileges of, you know, abiding by a different set of rules than the regular plebs. I would agree. I would agree. Now, here, do you have a happy moment for the end of this sucker?

Oh, we were going to talk about Justin Trudeau real quick, weren't we? Do we were going to talk about Justin Trudeau? We know what? We talk about him every week. Fuck them. I got, I got one. I got a happy moment. I got, I got an interesting little store, a little thing I saw on Twitter today that just made me like partially vomit. It isn't really that happy. Throw it at me. Kim Kardashian. Do you see the Beyond Meat commercial? No.

She's now the official... I've really only ever seen one video with Kim Kardashian. An official taste tester, I think it is, for Beyond Meat. And she says it's better for you, too. Better for you than meat. Seriously, we're going to sit here and talk about what kind of meat Kim Kardashian likes. And we're just...

This is a family show, Sean. Come on. That's a happy ending, isn't it, for everyone? I just, there's so many directions you could go with it. A lot of them are dirty. I would say that, you know, as a public figure, she wants to, as a public person, she wants to keep her figure nice and trim. And I can't think of a better way to lose weight than only being able to eat that

fucking garbage. What's your happy moment, too? You're going to love this one. All right. Family dog goes missing, returns home a winner in local dog show. What? I said family dog goes missing returns home a winner in local dog show. So basically, just a little bit south of London in the UK, they had this five-year-old beagle that they lost track of on a Sunday morning.

And there was some other chap because it's in England and they're all chaps, was on his way to a dog show. And he sees this dog just wandering around. and so he picks it up, figured he could track down the owner. And while he was at the dog show, he's like, oh, fuck it. I'll throw it in there. We'll see what happens.

And the dog gets third. How many pints did that guy have in him? He had to have feeling pretty good to pick up a stray. And then on top of that, enter it in a dog show. And then on top of that get third. He was like, come on.

That's almost like too good to be true. Well, I mean, we're not talking about blah sort of happy moments. I mean, if like, well, except for Kim Kardashian or beyond meat thing, whatever, right? But this is, this is great. I mean, you know, it's one of those, like, one of the chances, what are the chances, what are the chances to the nth degree?

And then anyways, they got the dog back to the owners a few hours later. You wonder, so many questions come to mind. Like, what was he saying in the dog show to get the dog to do whatever? Like, he wouldn't have had a, oh, I guess I would. Dogs can't really talk, so probably wasn't saying much. I'm saying you, Jack. he's sitting there going, okay, Lucky.

Now jump through the hoops, jump through the hoops. And all of a sudden, Lucky's just like, boom, boom, boom. Holy crap, we may have something here. I don't think it was a skills competition. I mean, this isn't the NH All-Stars. So all it was just sit there and look pretty. Have you ever been to a horse show? No.

Or like, you know, 4-H? I was thinking the dog talent shows. That's like. The dog talent shows where they got to go race through the cones. No. This is just who's got the best grooming and who's, who's, Who's a good boy? And that case, he just was like, that's a pretty dog.

I'm going to see if I can win. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay. Well, I tell you what. I'm sorry. It's not it's not fucking Benji, you know, saving some kids from a waterfall or something like that. But I mean, it's still pretty far.

It's pretty impressive as far as just like, hey, dog, get in this show. Let's see what you got. As always, twos, always leaving with a smile at the end. That sounded strange coming out. but either way appreciate another week of this we'll catch up to you next uh tuesday all right all right thanks man all right
