Episode Date: September 27, 2022

222 Minutes hops on to discuss this weeks headlines which include: ArriveCan App is no more, big boobs mcgee, Biden's 1930-esk speech & box water.  Ro'han Rig Services is hiring all positions to find out more send them an email: [e-mail] November 5th SNP Presents: QDM & 2's.   Get your tickets here: https://snp.ticketleap.com/snp-presents-qdm--222-minutes Let me know what you think   Text me 587-217-8500

You're going with the full version? I'm going to turn it up, folks, so he can't hear me. Maybe I can just mute him. Hey? You can't shut down the twos. But apparently, we're just a morning show. Tell me the listener doesn't enjoy this. Let them listen to it, Sean.

Toose is even bombed to say. I think that's, honestly, I think, uh, oh, look at that. slow fade like I've done it before. I tell you what, welcome to the mashup number 23-2s on board. Let's be honest, folks. We enjoyed a little extra in there today, didn't we? Didn't we, too? As you were bobbing your head, you enjoyed that.

Well, of course, it's a tight jam. The thing's deadly. It is. Now, we got a great show coming up here. I hope the audio is going to be a touch better, and we'll get to that text here shortly. But we got fan fare coming in from everywhere. We got an episode sponsor. You kidding me?

And then, of course, we got everything in between after that. So we got to start with Rohan Rig Services. They're going to sponsor the first or episode number 23. How cool is that two's coming? That's mega cool. We have a budget. Yeah, so we have a budget. Yeah, so we can finally pay for this new software we're using.

And it's, yeah, definitely in my background. So they're technically a direct competitor to the company I work for, so that's a little bit funny. But I guess if my boss doesn't like it, he can always sponsor the podcast. Isn't that the truth? Well, shout to Rohan Rig Services for stepping up. They are hiring for all positions. And what we're going to do is we're going to put the contact info in the show notes.

That way, you know, as hopefully they stick around, you don't have to hear us blabber on about how to get a hold of them. You just, if you're, you know, sitting out in Ontario, and you got Big Boob McGee teaching your kids and you're like, maybe it's time we move somewhere else. But, hon, what are we going to do for work? Well, actually, you can move to Lloyd. They've got well-servicing and coil tubing.

You don't even have to move to Lloyd. Literally, you can move to Alberta. They work all through Alberta, and they're willing to bring in anyone if you move to Alberta and you're looking for a job, you're looking for one hell of a payday, maybe a Roehan-Rig services. Fair enough?

Look into it. Okay. Show notes for anything else. Now, let's get on to some fans, okay? They came in hot and heavy last week. And I'm going to start with, we were talking about the cement trucks. And so I said, hey, if there's anyone to drive a cement truck in Toronto, well, we got close. First of all, I think you should read all the articles on your own show. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Fuck me.

All right. Yeah, that's on you. I regrettably run Tower Crane in Toronto, so I have a car. concrete delivered to me every day. The reason Toronto is up in arms about concrete trucks, plowing as pedestrians are too fucking stupid not to walk under the wheels. There's non-stop traffic, so it's not like they're moving fast, but yet six people were killed last year for winning the Darwin Award. That comes from our friend in Toronto. So there you go.

There's a little background on why everybody's pissed about concrete trucks. I mean, if stupid people are dying, where's the downside? Hey, I'm not going to get into it. They still got a lot more to go through in Eastern Canada, I'll tell you that. Oh my God. And as I scroll here, too, of course I can't find the next one. Where did it go? Where did it go?

I got tore into last week because of... Or the audio. Over our audio. And I'm missing it. It's a transplanted Alberta in O2BC. He said, love the show, but I'm embarrassed to share it. And I can't find it right now because why would I be able to do that? So we're doing our best.

I hope he texts this morning when he's listening to the sucker going, geez, boys, that sounded pretty sharp. I like the full, I like the longer intro. I like Sean at the helm, you know, Tew's is kind of messing things up. You know, he's easy. Tews did mess things up. I will say this, though, like we switched to a different recording software so that it can work better in remote areas.

And it took us a couple weeks to kind of get that locked down. So I think we've got it figured out going from here on out. and it should sound, you know, as professional as Sean and I can be, I guess. You don't want us to sound professional. You just want good audio. You just want to hear, and whatever. The final one was maybe the coolest one. Okay.

Absolutely. Rooster slurper. Rooster slurper kind of goes like everybody just thinks it's hilarious, starts popping up on Twitter and, you know, a couple other places. And then they never text me back. They literally text me a picture of them holding up a sign, JT equals rooster slurper in Russell Manitoba. And I'm like, this is sweet.

And they just ghost after that. They just wanted to let it know what was happening. And I'm like, well, I guess we're hitting all the things. We got BC texting in. We got Ontario and we got Russell Manitoba. But honestly, if you're listening, that was just about the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. That someone just took a throwaway joke we did. And it landed and they decided to make a whole damn sighing out of it.

Thank you. I was asked if we're going to do rooster slurper. shirts and I said well if if you folks who are listening to us think that's a good idea just hit us up hit us up we can probably figure something out anyways we got 24 minutes on the clock today I'm sure we will find a way to go over that because we never seem to stick to the timeline we're close but we're not we're not paying on either way we got we got some interesting things so maybe the guy wrote on the helm needs to tighten things up is that what you're saying you ran the helm last time yeah I didn't I forgot the clock so right is right okay

So yeah, okay, yeah, here we go. Here we go. All right, firing off. If the clock will start, that is. Why is the first one? Rick and Morty has a joke about the Chaco Taco Taco. I just thought it was perfect meta Tuesday mashup, where from two separate weeks, we talked about Rick and Morty,

and we talked about the Chaco Taco Taco, and then I'm guessing you didn't watch the last episode of Rick and Morty. I don't watch Rick and Morty. I tell you what, everybody's going to be on me because I don't do my homework, but I little bit it and I'm like, Rick and Morty, how do I, of course. They had a throwaway joke about the Chaco Taco. And so it was just this culmination of everything to's in Rick and Morty,

which is one of the best TV shows out there. I thought it was great. That's all we needed to it. We can move on to the next one. All right, all right. We're moving on. Italian election. What did you think of this?

This is just absolutely ridiculous. So this comes, for us, it comes out of nowhere, basically, because, I mean, I don't follow Italian politics that closely. Georgia Maloney. I hope I'm saying that right. Yeah. Far right party. Everywhere.

Far right party. Not necessarily. Toronto Sun ran an article, which I think, to be fair, was a regurgitation of an Associated Press article where they said that she was center right and also far right at different points in the same article. But the thing about it is, is that everything common sense these days, everything that isn't just a fringe minority of supreme communist

bullshit is described as being far right. Or extremist or whatever. Here's her speech, okay? Here's excerpts from it, because I really enjoyed this. Because everything that defines us is now the enemy, because we do not want to be numbers. We will defend the value of the

human being. We will defend God, country, and family. And then she quoted an author at the end and said, Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer that time has arrived and we are ready i was like well i'm all for anybody who wants to talk about twos right uh but i mean here's here's the thing is there she's trying to be blasted as this far right crazy person here's a quote she did from earlier on when

she was trying to explain basically her party's platform said yes to the natural family no to the LGBT lobby not not the whatever else but the lobby uh yes to sexual identity and no to gender ideology, no to Islamist violence, yes, to secure borders, no to mass migration, no to big international finance, no to the bureaucrats of Brussels, which is the EU. And so one of her things is that the Italians elected her, she's going to take care of their concerns before she worries about what's happening in the rest of Europe, which I think, considering the fact that they're the ones voting for her and they're the ones paying for her, is not an unreasonable ask. And to say that that's some far-right extremism is just a pile of malarkey.

I also found it interesting in the articles. They kept saying Italians, I read this in multiple, Italians voters rewarded Georgina Maloney's Eurosceptic Party with neo-fascist roots propelling the country toward what is likely to be the first far-right-led government since World War II. And we all know what that's implying. You know, it's like... Oh, yeah, yeah. It's just that she's fascist because apparently her...

party is some future iteration of what Mussolini used to be part of. But when we talk about the NDP, we don't talk about how they were the socialist party back in the day before they became the new Democratic Party. It's all just spin-doctoring. And how much of it can you really even believe? Like we heard about Sweden being swept by far right. You've got Bolsonaro and Brazil. And like even I had somebody asking about Mar-a-Lago and why we haven't covered that.

And I was like, dude, I can't be an expert on everything. Sean can't be an expert on everything. We can only kind of talk about what we know. And the problem is that when you hear about these little snippets from other countries, it's going through so many filters by the time it even gets to us, that all we can really kind of do is just point to the fact that something's interesting and maybe look at a few glaring holes in it. Okay.

Hurricane of bureaucracy. Take it again from the top. You're going to make me, what a preck, folks. Hurricane of bureaucracy hits Atlantic Canada How much of this did you hear about? Like what a douche anyways I'm glad you're making me work on my English tonight

You know? From the top From the top please From the top It sounds like The Rivecan app really Held some people away from Basically getting to

Yeah, from helping Yeah a bunch of people were supposed to come up from Maine to help with the power grid, and they got stuck at the border because the arrive can app. And then you had the federal ministry of fisheries or some such damn thing that's, you know,

named something roughly like that, tweeting just to remind people how illegal it is to scoop up lobster that have been washed up on shore and eat them. They literally had a giant storm go through, destroy towns, and they're worried about people getting lobster that have been swept up on the shore.

Like, your house has just been put into the ocean. It's just right next to some icebergs off the coast. And you've got nothing, nothing. No power, no power, no nothing. And some asshole in Ottawa, who still hasn't even gone back to work in his office yet, is telling you from his warm house that still exists, that you should not feed yourself with whatever floats up on shore.

Get the fuck out of here. I got nothing else to add to that. agree like it just insanity governor general piles up mistakes not missed mistakes this one's interesting you know um here's here's like the first line the group racked up ninety three thousand dollars catering just catering to's okay bill during an eight-day trip to in march 2022 to expo 2020 in Dubai it was a seven-hour flight to Dubai and on this seven-hour flight they had $984 worth of flow brown box or water, that box water that Trudeau lines. A drink box water bottle sort of thing.

Okay, I'm just picking on the drinks right now, okay? $165 in lemon and lime slices, $128 for an under-determined number of cases of Perrier water, okay? That's just the water. That's over $1,000 on water. I don't know about you and me, but I'm like, it was this bloody seven-hour flight. What are we talking about here? Anyways.

Seriously, 100. $110 for four liters of apple juice. Like, fuck, apple juice did they buy in? The bill also showed $221 for an unknown quantity of orange juice and $191 for cranberry juice. There's redactions in this. Here's the thing. Like, this is, first of all, it's insane on so many different levels. Secondly, they decided to redact the amount of orange juice from the receipts during the freedom of information.

Do they know something about orange juice that we, you know, simpletons don't? Like what are they doing with orange juice? Like, that they got to redact the amount. It's because it's because of Bev Oda is why. But here's the thing is like, because they looked at it and they said, well, we can't tell them how much orange juice they got because it might have been several tons of orange juice, in which case that's a fair price. But if it's anything less than that, it's the same thing that happened to Bev Oda.

And we got her fired over that. So we can't lose our jobs. so we need to redact it. Like who, I would love to know who decides how the redactions go. I don't know. Have you ever read Catch 22? I don't know. Have I? Okay, you would know if you had.

Joseph Heller, it's a brilliant book. The whole first part of it's about this guy who's laid up sick in a, in a hospital. And his job is to do all the redactions on all the letters that guys are writing in World War II to their sweethearts and stuff. Oh, okay. Well, now you're selling a book. Yeah, yeah. Well, I tell you what I don't think he was making redactions on orange juice

Anyways Yeah, so Freedom of Information Act Doesn't mean a fucking thing Because we can't even get a straight answer about orange juice I'm trying to do the buzzer twos and it won't go So buzzer Oh wait wait wait, wait, I got you I got you fam here

There we go There we go Tell you what you put this guy in charge for 10 minutes And he's already dropping the ball It was working just fine And of course, now when it just doesn't like, anyways, anyways, what are you going to do, folks? We can do. Canadian Armed Forces is asking for more than Canadians are willing to give right now.

This one's interesting as well. The Canadian Armed Forces sound alarm over a severe shortage of recruits to fill the thousands of vacant positions with the shortfall so bad that senior officers are now calling it a crisis. Yeah, I'm just going to throw this out there. Maybe they shouldn't rape so many people. I mean, we covered this. We covered this months ago where it was just scandal after scandal of sexual assault and them trying to cover it up. And then, oh, nobody wants to join for some reason? That's so weird.

But they're cutting their own throats. It even says directly in the article that recruiters are given targets to meet with spots divvied up by trade as well as minimum targets for female recruits and maximums for men. They're saying that they can only recruit certain numbers of people. people, if they're men, and they're running out, like, if they can't fill the spot, like just imagine you're trying to just fill some random spot and you say, okay, well, I need to have a woman do it and only men apply. Would you just say, well, I guess no one's going to work here? Or would you get, would you hire one of the dudes?

This is classic bureaucracy. Yeah. Let's not also forget about all the unvaccinated, they unjustly have pushed out as well. this is a problem happening across the board in a whole lot of different spots but you're banging on with your points I mean I literally what are you going to do you know I can't yeah I literally can't get the damn thing to work like what the what the doze or the words yeah isn't that frustrating folks you know you you try you try and then on maybe we just need bigger simpler buttons like that's why you did so good with the buzzer it was just one big red

There's one big thing. Anyways, I couldn't seem to get it to be loud enough. What the heck? I'm rambling on here. You turned down the slider when you did the fade out. Did you turn it back up again afterwards? Well, you heard it the first couple times, didn't you too? Yeah, that's right.

Well, I don't know. I'm not looking at your screen. I'm looking at the screen, and I'm not cutting this out. I'm going to let the hear the listener and listeners. I just got to be here to babysit you. Like a married couple. Oh, my God. Here we go.

CBC thinking we'll dropping the pretense of neutrality. Oh my God. Like, yeah. I don't know what to say. Like what is there to say at this point? They're talking about like, we're going to actually, you know, let them talk about Black Lives Matter and, uh, uh,

they're going to let journalists rather than opinion writers. Yes. Specifically journalists, assuming that they meet the right minority criteria. is they're going to allow them to speak their own personal politics and opinions while reporting on journalism which is kind of what they do anyway but now they're looking at just overtly doing away with any pretense of neutrality correct but they already do this yeah yeah it's just they they already they already do this so i guess i'm just like at a loss for what's different i'm like

nothing's nothing's really going to be different except there's just going to have some more stuff on paper, which in terms of bureaucratic organizations is what they live and breathe by. I guess so. I guess so. Okay, well, we're moving on because I literally, you know, this, you know, the guy from Vancouver is going to be like, you guys are dorks. You know, you got great audio now. Okay. So I guess for next week, we've got something to work out. Let me just preemptively address all the texts we get. I just hear him flooding in tomorrow. I can hear. I can hear the old dairy cartel just email me.

He's going to be sending me a thousand things. He's going to be mad I call him the dairy. He is wherever you're at. Oh, geez. Support for the RCMP in Alberta getting trampled in leadership election. Man, they came out. And like, can I just say what the, what is Kenny doing? Like, what is this government doing?

They have any, they're like 10 days away from having a new premier. And they're like all of a sudden they got. and all they do is medal since he like UCP what are you doing well I mean now there's no more skin in the game the game's already it's like it's like when a team misses the playoffs then they win 12 straight because they got nothing to lose or maybe they're already getting marching orders from whomever are going to be the presumed victors of this election race and they're saying we need you to start laying the groundwork because we're running on a tick and clock coming into That's not a bad idea.

Maybe you think that's what's happening there in the background? Somebody saying, listen, I'm going to be the new leader. I think this is probably how you should address this. I think it's probably that. And also, Jason Kennedy being a vain and self-centered bastard probably wants to go out on a win, even if it's a small one. Honestly, when I read it, that's what I thought. Right?

They'll remember me for this. And I guess we should preface it with the listener, right? They're literally telling the RCMP in Alberta not to enforce the gun grab, right? Yes. Don't listen to the federal government. That's how it reads. Yeah, so Tyler Shander came out and said that. Yeah, maybe Kenny is thinking they'll remember me for this, but I've got a newsflash for you, Kenny.

We won't remember you at all. Well, huge prosthetic breast show school board are giant boobs. I'm loving this new, like this thing we've been doing for about five, six weeks now where I write the headlines. They're good. They're good. I'm going to throw it back to Rohan Riggs services just for a quick sec here. If you're in freaking deep. If you got a kid in one of these, if you've got a kid in this school and you want them to get out, but you're wondering how you're going to pay the bills?

Yeah. Move to Alberta. Come work with Rohan. Come be To's Clear and present danger Be his competitor That's what I'm saying

Man this story is You know Trish Wood I think it is Had something out That this guy might be trolling And the longer it goes on I'm like This is the greatest troll job

I've ever seen Or Or This is some really messed up shit Like Well I mean If those moves hung any lower he could be trolling for pickerel

like everybody and their dog has weighed in on this did you see the did you see the interview i think it might have been true north i can't remember who it was interviewing one of the board members i think of the school maybe and him asking him

directly about the dress code you know in your dress code it says nipples can't be visible and he says that's the student's dress code not not the teachers and i'm like and to be fair those technically aren't his nipples. This whole thing's so absurd.

There's not really much to add after we covered last week. There were protests. The cops showed up to try and mitigate crowd control. A bunch of big brass from the school board showed up to not issue comments and to try and just pray this thing goes away. But it's just too fun to not talk about until it gets resolved. Yeah, and you can literally see those things from Saskatchewan. So, I mean, like, you know, the dog runs away.

Wow. Not if he stands behind black strap. Political disagreement leads to vehicular homicide in North Dakota. This is a strange story. Like, the story reads, guy runs over a teenager. He's 18 years old, high school guy about a political disagreement. The kid who got ran over was 18. Sorry.

The guy was in his 40s or something, I think. And it kind of reads like the guy in the vehicle thought he is. life was in danger. Am I wrong in saying that? And so he ran this kid over, then fled the scene, kid dies, comes back, and then, oh, wait, I got a DUI, I blew over a 0.8, which we both know means you weren't seeing things straight. And, yeah, if you come back later and you're still blowing over 0.08, yeah. Yeah, like he was in one, right? And they got in a political argument. And so the guy runs him over and now is, well, out on bail, $50,000 to get out. and he's old.

Yeah. I mean, how many times have we heard from the left talking about the right, their extremist rhetoric and someone's going to get hurt? Well, I mean, Jesus Christ, Joe Biden just stood up there a few weeks ago looking like a Nazi propaganda commercial from the 40s. And now just a few weeks later, somebody gets run over. It's fair to ask how much of it was induced by that and the similar rhetoric. Yeah.

And if listeners haven't watched that, I'd really implore them. You can go on YouTube, you know, Joe Biden's speech in Philadelphia. I forget what the hall is. Is it an Independence Hall or something like that, too? Either way, you can find it on YouTube real quick. It's like 20-some minutes. Put it on 1.5 and you have it done in 10 minutes. But what he's saying is the biggest threat to the United States is Donald Trump and the

mega supporters. And he lays it up there looking like at, at, Like he's got the big red backdrop behind him and he's shaking his fists. Like if you saw pictures of it on the internet, you probably thought they were just Photoshop memes and stuff like that. Nope, nope, that's straight out of it. That was, nothing had to be done with it post-production. That was just how it looks and that's just how it was.

How about some, well, let's do a RiveCat. Let's do the Ryan Can app. Okay, that's big news. September 30th, officially. the Arrived can app is being pulled. I think hooray, hurrah. It's time for the theme song to just come back in again and just let it go. You know, the amount of things that that has caused problems at the borders, everything else.

But people keep pointing out to me, you know, if you're unvaccinated, to get in the United States, you still need to have proof of vaccine. Although I'd love to point it out to people, from everything I hear, they just ask if you've been vaccinated. So if you got a good poker face, I'm not telling you to lie, I'm just saying. Hell, even if you don't have a good poker face, what are they going to do? Search you for, like, needle marks? They don't do that in San Francisco, I'll tell you that much. But yeah, so the Arrived can app's going away, and I think that politicians deserve absolutely zero.

Zero credit. Aplaus or adulation from this. No, I think the applause comes from everybody who's been pushing on it. pushing back speaking up they're the ones who won this the politicians who say oh yeah yeah we decided you know we're going to magnanimously allow you to have your lives back get the fuck out of here yeah i agree yeah hit the buzzer because truthfully it's off to the listeners and everybody else that did this okay we got lots of other good news let's yeah let's end on some other good news uh good news abound uh how about god hate shitting beer i'm sure everybody has seen this picture of the kour's light

trucks that collided and like rubbed and there is Coors light there's wounded soldiers just fucking everywhere like they're not soldiers they're not even reserves they're Coors light i tell you what somewhere somebody's crying seeing all that beer laying on the street just getting oh yeah tears of straight Coors light running down their face how about the two thousand year old cat meme that was found oh there's the other thing too so god doesn't just hate shitty beer a little bit but where Where does most of the shitty beer in the world come from? Sean, where's all the shitty beer come from? America.

Yep. You win a gold star. And apparently they get a lot of their CO2 from a dormant volcano, and they're running out. There's not enough CO2 coming out of it anymore, and there's a shortage of carbon dioxide. I don't know. Beer prices have risen less than the broader food and beverage market, but that could change as a rising cost of inputs. Whether CO2 or grain leads to a more expensive pint. You can't make that shit up.

God hates shitty beer. Now, the prue. The prue. They literally found a cat meme, and it's like close to 2,000 to 3,000 years old in the side of a hill. It's giant. I don't know why they didn't notice it before.

Like, it's not like it was... It's not like it's hiding. Yeah. And so, like, have you ever heard of the NASCA lines? The Nazca lines? No. Oh, sorry. I should have,

I should have given you a heads up on that. So there's, there's a whole bunch of these big paths in Peru in, and with a bunch of stones and stuff like that. And people know it about the paths, but nobody realized that they made any sort of shapes or anything like that until aircraft had been invented.

And people flew over and they're like, oh shit, there's a bird and there's a monkey and there's something else and there's something else. And so their, their UNESCO World Heritage Site, Greenpeace got banned from Peru forever for trying to, trying to desecrate them with some big slogan about, I don't know, some damn hippie shit. And so they found another one on the side of a mountain that doesn't look.

The other ones look fairly artistic and professional. This is like, I don't know if they got the kids to do it or what the deal is, but it's kind of this fun, goofy-looking cat thing. And they just found it. So, I mean, that's a neat archaeological discovery. Anytime they find something from years and years and years ago, I mean, a cat meme is kind of like, I mean, whatever. But anytime they find something from ancient history, it's super cool. Like it's super cool. Yeah, like physical accountability.

How about John Cena sets a new record for Make a Wish Foundation? This is cool, man. Okay. Sina, the most requested celebrity for the nonprofit's wish program, has fulfilled 650 wishes from children wanting to meet him, a Guinness report. Okay, I'm going to throw it to you. Any idea where the second closest person is on that list? Probably somewhere around a dozen.

From what I understand, he has just been a one-man show with this thing. I never even thought to ask, but I seem to recall here back in the day that he was, like when he was halfway there to where he is now, he was just laps ahead of everybody else. And I just think that's so cool. Like celebrities, they kind of, they get more, they're more interesting to the status quo, I guess, the more elusive they are.

And so to have somebody like this who's so approachable and who's just like, whatever I can do to help out these kids, that's great. And I mean, that's 650 individual, like they, I don't know, there's probably a repeat customer's joke in there. But, but yeah, 650 kids, right? Well, the thing is, and so the listener knows, it's been, make a wish you've been going for 42 years. and nobody's got over 200.

They say the second place is nowhere even close to 200. And I'm not making, I mean, geez, you do it 180 times. All the hats off to you. Absolutely. You think he's up 650 now. And you think that's just absolutely incredible. It is incredible. I've got a ton of respect for that.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Wow. Two's minor mishaps. I'm sure we'll hear about them tomorrow, but I tell you what. Sean did his homework this weekend. Hats off to me. Pat on the back.

I know, I know, folks. I know you're happy. Yeah, it's great. It's too bad. I think the audio problem for this week, Toos is in civilization. We'll see how we do next week. So hold on to your hats as Tews goes back up to no man. Middle of nowhere.

Yeah, that's right. But we're going to do our best. We're going to get this buzzer thing figured out. Obviously, I'm missing something. Hey, man, I'm missing a lot, probably. But either way, week 23 in the books, sponsor, tons of feedback from listeners. and I think a pretty damn good show. So thanks, Too's, for hopping on,

and look forward to seeing you next week. You too, buddy. Take care.
