Welcome to the Tuesday mashup for what feels like the 12th time tonight, Tuesday. Let's see if we can get this right. It is week 19. It's almost like week 19 doesn't want to happen. For the listener, they have no idea what I'm talking about. We have been fighting with computers. We've been fighting with work. We've been fighting with just about everything tonight.

We got two things in and then a computer crashes. I tell you what, week 19, it's like the government's trying to shut us down because they know something good's coming. Oh, dude. I saw a bunch of helicopters flying over today. And a guy I was working with was like, why does that keep happening? And I said, because I'm on a watch list. We might all be on a watch list at this point. Either way, we're going to, hey, you know what?

If it ups our viewership, why not? Sure, sure. Well, we're going to see if we can't get through it this time. All right? Are we ready to fire this up? Are we ready? Let's make it happen. All right.

Timer starting now. First one, here you go. Civilization shock to learn preferred pronouns are becoming mandatory. pronouns. Well, who to think this was going to happen? You meet them in the middle and then they say, okay, we'll now meet us in the middle again and now meet us in the middle again. And so now, apparently there's a small group of people about 58% of 15% who think that preferred pronouns should be mandatory in emails and meetings and whatnot. And my argument is, what if you don't have any? I don't have any preferred pronouns. I don't prefer one or the other. So I would just put

something in blank. And then they would say, well, you have to put something in. And now you're forcing me to be something that I'm not, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of this thing. Well, I tell you, the guy, the guy who saw it coming was Jordan Peterson back in, I believe it's 2016, here it is, argued that amendments to the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code would require compelled speech. This is what, you know, how many years are we later? Six years. and it kind of feels and I know you're about to hop in and say nobody can see what block says I go how many years is that and you could nobody could see it what block says has a smirk where he's just about to

chip in if I chime in if I give him the opportunity so fuck you two's all I was going to say is six years ago Jordan Peterson stood up and and talked about compelled speech and how this leads to a dangerous path now we're arguing about it's like 68% of Canadians don't give two crap so it's in an email. But like you said, 50% of the 15% that do they care. Not even, it's, it's just like, this is absurd. How is this even a headline in a news article? How are people reporting on it when it's just like, yeah, he hit the buzzer like four times for those of you couldn't tell, but he was so angry that he was waving it around. The mic didn't pick it up. Ah, man. Liberal Canada is an endless

river of racism and cash. yeah another two's headline believe it or not and tell me i'm wrong this i tell me i'm wrong i i really got to know how to say this guy's name so i apologize already layth maroof layth lath lath presumably yeah i mean he's been laying pretty low since this whole stuff broke so it's not like he's going to be correcting anybody anytime soon well the the thing is is he got roughly 130 130 000 canadian to do a cross-can to turn uh tour on anti-racism, right? Like to try in like...

Six locations. Six locations. So he's getting over 20 grand per gig. And this is some of the things he tweeted, okay? A wacko indigenous house slave of apartheid Canada from the First Nations Confederacy of Educational Centers opens the Jewish white supremacist colonists conference. I can't even spit this out. Hosted by the Zionist lobby PM Justin Trudeau at apartheid Israel to infer ingenuity

of Zionist colonists. That's a bad one. Here, let me give me a... No, no, that's a great one. That is an absolute word salad of racism. Like, the only thing he left out was Munketanians. Here, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He goes to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial with the giving a finger, picture of him, giving the finger, wishing it was much bigger with the names of a few million dead... Oh my God, dirt bags. I mean... See, now that's brutal, because actually...

Actually, you know what? Corpses of you, Yusian dirt bags. I mean, I'm talking about my own. Canadians fought in Vietnam. People don't know that. My uncle actually went to Vietnam.

I just, the whole point of this article, and I'm like spitballing all over top of my, you know, when we recorded the first time, we were, it was perfect. It was absolutely smooth.

You know, it's like, we've done this twice. And I just look at this and I go, like the whole point of this was to have a guy go across and do any racism. you know, this tour of like, let's bring some ideas. And I think most of us are just like, whatever, who gives a shit?

Except they hire a guy who's more racist than anyone I've met. And he's just like spouting it on Twitter for everyone to see. And did they hire that guy? Yeah, they do hire that guy. Because, I mean, they aren't veting anyone. Are they twos? This is the government. No, well, actually, you know what?

They knew about this ahead of time. Anthony Housefather, who's a liberal MP, actually said that he had talked to Ahmed Hussein, who's the Minister of Diversion and inclusivity. about the fact that this guy was bad news. And this happened a month before the story broke, and still they didn't do anything about it. And then they called on the organization that he works for to comment on it, but the organization is literally just the guy and his wife.

They've received something like $600,000 from the CRTC since 2016. This is the organization that is now going to be running the inner internet in the next little while. And yeah, basically, like at that rate, he's getting a buck every time he says he hates Jews. You know, the thing is to the first article you sent me broke it down really well. Because it just said, like, if you go into this world, it's a cash cow. You just got to say, oh, yeah, we're going to do these great things. And the government is throwing money at it, like nobody's business.

And he exposed that. That's basically what it is. And the government didn't care to look to see who they were giving money to because he was fighting racism. because they don't care. That's right. Christia Freeland, here's one that has caught a lot of attention. Gets yelled at and you think we're not going to agree.

So I'm curious what you have to say. This is where we cut out the first time. And I'm very curious. I'm very, very curious what Toos has to say on Christia Freeland. I got two things. One, I think we're going to disagree on. One I think is going to be kind of insightful. So first off, let's just go with the actual transcript of what that guy

said, he said, and I quote, Christia, what the fuck are you doing in Alberta? You fucking traitorous fucking bitch, get the fuck out of this province. And because he's presumably like, he looks like a giant in the video and she's like five foot one or something.

And so it's misogyny because it's a man doing it to a woman. And while he's not the most eloquent person by any stretch, I think when you think about it, you think about how Grand Prairie, which is where it happened, they've got two major industries. They've got agriculture and oil and gas. And the liberals have gone after both of them.

And if you farm, you are a farmer. And if you work in oil and gas, you work like three, four thousand hours a year. You literally live and breathe it. And this is someone who is trying to just cut out everything that you are. And then all of a sudden they show up in your home. hometown, of course you're going to be mad. Like they've been cutting the rug out from that entire area since they took power. And all of these divisive things that have been said and done over the years,

eventually your chickens are going to come home to roost. This isn't him punching her. This figuratively, of course, this is him punching her back. So first off, I'm going to say, while when you read it off that way and it sounds like it isn't so bad. I'm sorry. I sit here in Canada and I go, no, that ain't the way we talk to people. I'm just, I'm not going to stand behind it. What I will say, though, is attitude reflects leadership. And they are reaping what they've sown. And so as a government, as a, as a government, they have been divisive with the population. They sowed those seeds. And honestly, I'm not going to let

conservatives out of here either. Because I watch our politicians yell at each other. all the time. It's like you model what you see in our leadership. And I don't really model a whole hell of a lot from politicians. But I can tell you this, the politician today is, I got nothing, no time for any of them for the most part, because they go into wherever they sit and they just yell at each other, there's nothing there. There's no solving problems. There's nothing. And so when I watch this guy go and do what he's done, I go, there's no way you can sit there and go, oh, raw, raw. And actually the part of the video that really bothered me the most is as he walks out, he's got goosebumps and he feels great about what he's done. He just yelled at a woman and yell at a guy. I don't really don't care.

To me, it's like, I just can't get behind that twos. But I will say attitude reflects leadership. And the fact that anyone could get mad at the man just shows like how unhinged we are as a culture. It's like you are literally taking away people's livelihoods. For two years, you called a portion of your population fucking misogynist racist for not taking the shot now friends minority with unacceptable views right like this just keeps you and you won't talk so so let me let me ask you this then let me ask you this Sean yeah fire away at what point do you stand up and you say no more I will not move another inch this is as far as you will go because there's a lot of people getting to that point. And I think that guy probably is at that point. And so you say, well, that's not kind of what

we do in Canada. Well, at what point should that be what we do in Canada? It's an interesting question to ask. What do you think? Well, see, here's the thing, but I did, I hit a line and I went to Ottawa and I stood there peacefully. And that is the way to do no more. I just don't think throwing obscenities, like what did he accomplish? Toos, what did he accomplish by going there and doing that. What did he do? Did he accomplish anything? He exposed again how the media, the media will only report when it is in a certain way, but we already know that. All of Canada at this point already knows that the liberal media, because they are bought, we're only going to say what they believe will help them. So when it happens against Pierre Poliath, they listen to Pier Pollyov's comments,

he says, well, my wife, you know, they got protective detail on her, but does anybody catch that part and say how bad that is? No. And Maxine Bernier, no, because they aren't in the right sitting. So once again, the media just showing how. Maxine Bernier got egged last year. Yeah. So how bought her the media? Well, I mean, but do we want this happening in anyone? Does he accomplish anything by going there and doing that other than becoming famous for a few minutes on a, on a Twitter post? He didn't do it to become famous. Nobody even tracked him down at that point. Why film it then? Why film it then? Why film a loy. Why? Why? film it then. I think somebody else was

filming it because they're like, oh, hey, there's No, come on. Come on. The hell is that. We've found, I think, one of the things over the last two years that bothers me the most is people walk in. If he's trying to make himself famous, dude, why why be anonymous while you're doing it?

Listen, we've seen this in our communities where people walk in and film going into schools and handing in the papers and yelling at principals and teachers that have no idea what the hell they're even talking. about. There's a way to conduct yourself when you're upset with somebody. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. You can be upset. I'm just, to me, if you're just upset with someone, go be upset with them. You don't need to have it filmed. And there's no way the two women with them

weren't like, I'm going to film this. I'm sorry, I can't get behind that. Called it. We're totally going to disagree on this. That's all right. That's the whole point. I mean, I just- Absolutely. We haven't found a lot of things we disagree on. yet so this is fun. All right. Moving on. The only math Trudeau can do is division.

Yes. Well, he sucks at math. I think the budget will balance itself, speaks for itself. Yeah. And so anyway, this is an article pointing out that Pierre Pollyev isn't the guy dividing the country.

Justin Trudeau has done more than divide the country. He is the reason the country is divided. from the article a prime minister who didn't know blackface was racist as a 29 year old teacher in 2001 and who did it so many times he doesn't recall how many there were which by the way is total bullshit it's just that he didn't want to give an answer because there was some that weren't filmed right and so anyway ledger conducted an opinion poll and it said overwhelmingly that trudeau oh shoot I got to find the exact quote. But it basically just said that he picks one part of the country over another and foments division.

Often favors certain groups and regions of the country over others, which has created national unity issues. Does that sound fair? What can I say about Trudeau? Nothing good. That's right. Although we did go two weeks without talking about them. Hey, that's something.

That is something. At this point, I think everybody knows Trudeau is the reason our country is where it is. Freeland's not far behind. Trudeau is at the absolute head of that snake, whether he's doing it by himself or having a group behind pull the strings. Who cares? At the end of the day, his words have been spoken. He's divided everybody. And now they're just, every time they get a chance with Pierre Pooley-F, I mean, I literally just had on Jeremy McKenzie.

He shakes hands with the guy and the liberals go absolutely insane. and you're like, this is funny, but they're trying to find anything. They're trying to pull at any string. Oh, absolutely. And it just, it constantly baffles me when it comes to Trudeau,

how someone who is just so goddamn lazy has worked so tirelessly to tear this entire country apart. Yeah. Yeah. The guy who fired Lisa LaFlam follows her out the door on leave. He's taken time to go be with his family. Where there is smoke, there is a fire here, too.

So a guy by the name of Michael Melling, apparently was the headspin in this firing. So Lisa LaFlam worked for CTV for 35 years. She was the face of CTV news. And this guy decided to fire her without notice. And it just, the whole thing seems a little bit weird. you don't fire someone who's been working there for 35 years, just like they come in on Tuesday and you're like, hey, guess what fuck face?

Pack your shit, right? I agree. But I tell you what, if I'm going to fire a Tuesday, I might do that. That might be the way on a Tuesday of all things. By the way, you're out of here.

Well, geez, I mean, who could replace me, right? You need 222 people. I don't know. Anyways.

But yeah, the whole thing stinks as though there's something more to it. And it looks like it was just very poorly executed on their part because if they'd have thrown, again, like we keep talking about how there's never any daylight thrown on any of this stuff. And while CTV News is a private company, they get a shit ton of money from the Canadian government. And it would probably behoove them, you know, in terms of being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. Yeah, right. but also in terms of just good business practice to be like, well, look, if we're firing someone who's been working here for 35 years, here's why.

And if it's money, which would probably make a lot of sense because, I mean, we're probably getting almost as much traffic as they do. And they just say, we can't afford her anymore. And we're going to give her like a six month run where she can kind of go through some highlights and, you know, give her like a classy exit or something like that. of just being like, get the hell out. Yeah, it stinks. If you don't like America, you can get out.

It just stinks, right? Like, I'm just... Yeah, the whole thing. And so anyway, this guy, just the classic standby, oh, I'm going to go spend some more time with my family. No, you just don't work here no more neither. Germany asks Canada for gas. Trudeau farts on the idea.

Here's an interesting thing that came out of this article. There isn't a single LNG export terminal in Canada. Every single leader of natural gas that Canada manages to export all goes to the United States via pipeline. Isn't that shocking? Oh, our regulatory system's been broken for decades. The conservatives set it up horribly. And then they got mad when the liberals made it slightly worse. Like there's a reason why.

things don't get built. And it's because it costs too much money and there's too much risk involved with that long of a regulatory process and that long of bureaucracy involved because all it takes is one or two changes in government and all of a sudden your project's dead in the water. We've talked about this before. And so it's not surprising at all. But the interesting thing is that natural gas goes for about 50 times what we pay for in Canada in Europe right now, but we can't get it there.

Yeah, this is. Maybe we could just fill some balloons and float it over or something. This is a blunder though, too, is like a big blunder because like it's a huge opportunity to like honestly help out a nation in the world and make an half ton of money on it. You know, like it's just it's sitting there, but we can't get it there. So it's just like, well, you're all going to freeze to death, you know, as as as Wood is going through the roof as there's a lineup at coal plants now in Poland as like,

you just like, oh my God, this is like, I do not, I feel terrible for those people, you know? Yeah. And like we were talking maybe a month or two ago about how I think it was the EU had reclassified natural gas as a green technology. Well, now that it's a green technology, maybe we should work on it a little bit, right? I mean, nothing changed with natural gas other than just the classification, but just this whole idea of putting ideology

into governance doesn't work on any level ever. I want to talk about comic books and you're going to gradually comply. It was a Mark Ruffalo. I mean, yeah, I guess if you really want to talk about comic books with me, we could maybe dabble into it a little bit.

Well, it's Mark Ruffalo shares an argument that viewers who dislike Shehawk are racist and sexist. Here's the crazy thing. I actually read the article, like not the Rebel News one. I actually went a little deeper and read the other one. And it's misleading how they talk about that, I think. The reason why is because have you ever heard of a review bomb? You know what that is?

I'm not familiar with the concept. Okay. But I can guess. A review bomb is an internet phenomenon. where a larger number of people, or in other cases, a few people with multiple accounts, leave negative user reviews online. The target can be a published work, a business, a product, or a service, and a review bombs are made in an attempt to harm sales or popularity.

So what Mark Ruffalo was talking about. Why would you do that? Exactly. So what Mark Ruffalo is talking about is on IMDB, which I think a lot of us, you know, like I love IMDB. Well, people can go on there and make reviews. Totally go through it when I'm watching movies. Yep.

People can go on there and leave reviews before shows come out. So what he's calling out is that people went on to Sheehawk and like destroyed it before it even been released. And so I kind of agree with it. Oh, that is kind of fucked up, right? Like, why would IMDB allow that? Like that makes zero sense. I'm not sitting here saying, you know, I was watching Shehulk tonight. You know, like, I'm all right.

Let's see what this is all about. Is it a great show? I don't know. Like the Marvel universe is cool because they can pull. in these huge actors into their their like lame TV shows right like Mark Ruffalo's in the first movie first episode and then the second one in the

abominations in there you're like oh this is really cool Katjana Mazzlani the the face of Sheolt the head chick in it do you know where she's from no he's from her vagina yeah man yeah and so if if you're

you're being racist against Saskatchewanites I mean that's a cause I can get behind We don't, we, we deal with enough crap with the stupid Manitobans and their body odor. We don't need to get racism from other people just because of where we're from. Homeless, Miss, homeless may be staying in hotels in L.A. What could go wrong? So they're putting the idea out that you could compel hotels. They've, they've done the math.

And I, I'm going to just spit it all in here. There's 20,000 homeless and there's 20,000 empty rooms. a given night in L.A. And they go, wow, we could give them all a room in a hotel. And so they're going to have a vote here over the next 18 months on whether they're going to mandate hotels have to do this. They have to give out at 2 o'clock, how many rooms they have available. And then if they say it's mandatory, if you have an room available at 2 o'clock, you've got to give it to a homeless person. The whole idea is absolutely ludicrous. And it's being set up by a union. And some conspiracy theories, theorists are thinking that they're just trying to use it as leverage for better wages.

Like, okay, well, you know what? You just give us more benefits and something along those lines and we'll make this whole thing go away. Excuse me. The funny thing about it is, is that this would be a notoriously easy thing to sidestep because you would just look at, say, 145 and say, how many rooms do we have open? Okay, 17 of them. All right, we're going to say that that one has bed bugs and that this. one has a leaky faucet and that we don't have enough people to change over the betting on that one because it costs a lot of money to turn over a room right like people don't realize that like when you've got those impeccably white sheets in a hotel room that is very expensive soap and

it's very expensive washing machines and then you're paying someone to go in there and detail it like you would get your car detailed every night and so So like there's, it's not cheap to just have a room ready when someone stays in it. And like there's no way that they'd be able to eat the cost of it. And so it, you'd just find, you'd just find loopholes on it. And you would just say, okay, well, there's maintenance and whatever else. And so it's just, it's this crazy idea from a stupid group of people that would be easily sidestep.

And I find the whole idea just classic Los Angeles. classic liberals announce anti-gang funding in community with no gangs yeah believe it or not the liberals spend lots of money

on stupid shit in Merrimashie New Brunswick in Maramishie we talked about it before Meramishie basically has one thing going for it is that the whole town is employed by the Royal Canadian Mounted

police because they do all of the background checks for all of registered gun owners in Canada. And so you've got a town where everybody except for the grocery store is employed by the RCMP and you're going to give them a million dollars in anti-gang money. And during the announcement, they were talking about what they could actually spend it on that didn't have anything to do with gangs. They addressed it in the announcement. They said, we're giving you this anti-gang money. and you don't have any gangs,

but here's other stuff it can be spent on. Yeah, the fact that that came out in the announcement, I'm sure every reporter was like, this is strange, right? Like, here's money for anti-gang. Yeah, we don't have any gangs,

so we're going to spend it on a couple different things. The looks and the crickets must have been like, what? It's just absolutely ludicrous. It would be like announcing an anti- Teeth Fund in Edmonton. Okay, folks, we had two's call in on, we've been having issues as we carry on with his.

So he's called in. Now, we're on to, human goes on Joe Rogan after you made me say it the right way and admits that Facebook censored Hunter Biden laptop story. This is Mark Zuckerberg, of course. And he basically just says, you know, we're different than

Twitter. We don't just say you can't talk about it. We're just going to censor the crap out of you considerably. Yeah. You can say whatever you want, but no one's ever going to see it. What I wanted to say, though, you said that I was filming at the mouth. I wanted to talk about how we're kind of at a crossroads here. We've got another one coming up, by the way. But this particular crossroads is, this is, I think the first time we've ever talked about another podcast. And it's interesting because, I mean, we haven't really dealt like we talked about news, but we haven't really talked about commentary on what happens. in the world. And so I'm wondering how meta we're going nuts, go to Facebook on things. Well, I mean, Joe Rogan. Yeah, Joe Rogan talked about a lot of, yeah, Joe Rogan's literally, yeah, he literally is larger than the news at this point, right? Like, I mean, he, whatever he does is news at this

point. So to me, to talk about him having Mark Zuckerberg on is, that is news. And the fact he like basically you know is poking at him going like well what what do you mean meaningful like it's it's been downgraded meaningfully he's like and then and then he goes you know when the fbi i calls you you know zuckerberg saying you know like it's the fbi and i agree with him on that and then joe pokes at him some more than though and goes so did the fbii tell you to to shut down the hunter biden story well uh no uh right it was in the same line of of other things we saw so you go like these these These big institutions have a lot of power they wield. And I don't know if we're going to understand here over the next little bit,

just how much they've influenced how things are twos. Yeah. Well, I mean, look at just how many people said they wouldn't have voted for Joe Biden if they'd have known that the 100 Biden laptop thing was real. And Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of million dollars trying to get the Democrats to win the election. so I'm sure he was fine with it. Because honestly, like when you're Facebook, even when it's the literal FBI

and they say, hey, don't do this fucking thing, you say, okay, come back with a warrant. It shouldn't be that part, that hard. You're the FBI. Just call back in like 10 minutes and then we can talk. Yeah, once again. I mean, I would say that and I'm just me.

I tell you, here's a funny story for the listeners. I got pulled over yesterday. just driving down a country road, if you can believe it. And a cop pulled in behind me. I was like, you know, I was doing the speed limit. It was the middle of Sunday with Mel, my wife's with me. And he throws the cherries on. And I'm thinking, was that he speeding?

Anyways, he pulls me over. He goes, you know, I pulled you over? I'm like, no. He's like, license registration? I'm like, sure? He's like, you've been drinking today? I'm like, no. And he's like, you sure you haven't been drinking a day?

I'm like, no. okay I need you get out gives me a breath ofizer and he's like oh you were telling the truth and I'm like yeah and I'm like I'm still like what the hell is going on so I'm like is this legal and he's like yeah I can pull you over anytime I want when you're on a on a highway or whatever and I'm like okay and he's like you know I got to check for license registration make sure that's good and I got to make sure you're sober and so I'm like this is the straight like I mean obviously I wasn't drinking but I'm like this is strange. Like, and then I drove away and I watched him and he followed in the next vehicle and did the exact same thing.

Isn't that odd? I feel like that's gone. Oh, really? You think it's odd that in Canada you've got police officers using arguably excessive vigilance on us? Have you seen anything like that? You should have just been like, I'm surprised you didn't bring the horses. Maybe it's because I can walk easily. Federal response to trespassing allegations doesn't hold water.

I felt like this deserved a follow-up, and apparently Stephen Gilbal didn't. We talked about this last week about how there was a whole bunch of people, well, not a whole bunch. I think there was three separate incidents in Saskatchewan where federal Canadian bureaucrats, put on their hiking boots and went and got some water samples from people's farms, sloughs, dugouts, whatever, without any jurisdiction at all. And so there was a few letters written to

the federal government, and Stephen Gibbal replied and said, no, it didn't happen. You're just trying to be divisive. And, I mean, my question is, why would they go to the trouble of making fake photographs of these people? Yeah. Like there's literal photographs of the government of Canada vehicles next to Slu's taking samples. And he's saying it's fake news or something or it's just propaganda, Russian propaganda.

Like it's not a Russian flag on the side of it. It's a Canada flag. Yeah, it's more to be expected out of the government currently right now. the federal government just does what it wants and they don't give a fuck yeah honestly dudes like I mean um it's just it just continues on right it just continues up and I come back to the freeland thing and I go attitude reflects leadership the more they do this you think people are gonna side with Sean no they're going to get worse and not worse and worse just like emotions are going to run high and there's going to be more videos come out and

more and more and they're going to try and paint everybody as everything, but it's like, but these things continue on and they continue to happen. What do they expect it's going to happen? Okay. I mean, honestly. Well, here's the thing is if all the traditional avenues for accountability are being ignored or sidelined or completely blocked off, where does it go? And it's a dark question, right?

But, I mean, it starts with some guy yelling at, at politicians. and then presumably it would escalate from there. But when you deny people, even the right to just be like, hey, you know what? We found your people doing this thing. And he basically says, fuck up. Where's the recourse? Where's the accountability? And honestly, I don't have a good answer for it.

I just, I don't. I think that's one thing I can sit here and go, yeah. Like, I'm waiting for something to happen. that just isn't happening. We've been doing this 19 weeks. And in 19 weeks, there have been some almost laughable headlines about the government,

about just like ineptitude, corruption, everything you can name, and there doesn't seem to be much recourse on it. You know, like... Any. We'll see as time goes on here. I'm certainly hopeful. Things will get better.

I assume they will because people are awesome and the government right now is not. And we'll see what happens over there. the next little bit. But yeah, this is wild times. Wild times that he just, yeah, basically brushes it off and says, yeah, not my problem. There was this old, okay, there was this old saying in ancient Greece or Rome or something like that. And it was like an insult. It says, may you live in interesting times? Buddy, we are living in interesting times. Isn't that true? Well, here's your, here's your final one.

Good news galore. Crop, circle, circles show aliens are tired of Trudeau shit. And I'd like to point out, I think this video is old. I, like, I swear to God, I saw this a while back, but either way, it's still funny. You know, it's a plane flying over a field, and they've stenciled in or not stenciled in. They literally, Justin Trudeau sex ass. I'm watching it again. That's anyways, it's literally right in the field.

you know, they've done some creative work there. Yeah, I was wondering, too, if this was an old one or if I've just seen other ones like it. Well, that's the first one I've been reporting on it. And, you know, if it's an oldie but a goody, hey, sometimes you just love the classics, right? It's like when Rodehouse comes on, you're going to watch it. How about the switcher-roo? I found this, the Canadian heist pulls the old switcher-roo. I found this one very interesting.

the Chateau Lurier believes a swap of famous Churchill portrait was by a professional. So they have this old portrait, famous portrait of Winston Churchill hanging there. And in a 12-day span from Christmas to, you know, what is that? Anyway, it's early January, January 6th. They all sudden have, it's been removed and a fake has been put in its spot. And that's, you know, like probably have a bloody movie on this. Well, anytime you see a picture of Winston Churchill, I think it's pretty much this picture, right? And this is, this is so cool.

Okay, here's the other crossroads that we're at as a weekly show. I say we cover every heist we hear about. Sure, sure, we'll give some publicity to the villain, the criminal who is smart enough to sneak away with a Winston Churchill. I mean, that is newsworthy. Yeah. In Ottawa, unless, screw those bastards. I mean, they're all wonderful people. But, yeah, so, I don't know, broad daylight, middle of the night, whatever it was, somebody went into the lobby of a hotel, switched out a giant freaking picture. And didn't get caught.

And nobody noticed for months. And then they had. to go back and then they went through like tourist photos and people standing with the photo and then they could tell from the photos that when it went the window that it had been switched on but nobody noticed until now and it happened over christmas yeah isn't that that's well done that's well done perfect execution perfect execution i agree here's your final one uber finally allowed in new york and good things start to happen uber driver saves a bunch of people from a burning fire can imagine being in an uber you're on your way to the airport and driver goes, hey, can we pull over? There's a fire right there. I think they might need her help.

I think it's wonderful. And it's not the kind of thing you'd expect to hear about New York City, where everybody just, I guess, spits onion and smells like garbage. I've never been, but I haven't heard many awesome things, unless you run into Keanu Reeves or some shit like that, right? But yeah, so this is great. I was thinking, though, you know, as much as I said in the headline, I was kind of just poking fun at, you know, opening up markets. But in New York, York, the most somebody ever paid for the right to drive a cab in New York was $250,000. And when you think about it, if someone just paid a quarter million bucks to be able to drive that cab, they're not pulling off nothing.

And so, anyway, just random thought. But I still thought it was great that dude went in and saved two people. And also just the fact that the chick who was getting the ride at the time was very honest about the fact that she was just screaming when it was happening. And I thought that was a fun, honest way to tell the story. You know, because you think like you're being interviewed in New York, you'd probably want to be like, oh, yeah, well, I was doing my best to just make sure that people were to safe distance or something like that.

She's like, oh, I was just screaming. Well, I've, this has been a week of trials and tribulations, I think. We've had our fair share of technical difficulties. and I was just thinking, you know, like I apologize to all the listeners because we didn't do, you know, I had all these grand visions of leading off the show with, you know, hey, these are some of the texts we've had come in about, you know, about the show and this and that. And I had a guy from Ontario send me a voice recording and everything else. And I, dude, do you have a queued up? No, I don't because all this shit just keeps failing on me.

And so what I'm going to do for the man, what I'm going to do for the man, listen, listen, he said, still listening. I'm going to say give it week 20 week 20 we will do it right off the hop. We've had nothing but Sean wanting to throw his mic across the floor tonight. And I still got to edit this sucker and put it out. So no, we're not going to we're not going to do it this week. I apologize. I don't like to apologize for many things, but that one I will because I was having a lot of fun with it. But this week has caused some issues. And I, you know. Yeah, we had a lot of roadblocks thrown at this particular episode all when we went to record. Yeah. Like, it's just like, like, I just, anyways, the listener, you're awesome. Tews, thanks for hopping in, as always. And we'll

catch up to you next week. Good, sir. Sounds good. See you then.
