All right, here we go. I think we're live, yeah? Yep. Well, welcome to mashup, the Tuesday mashup, 32-2s? Number 32. And we got a new look. How are you feeling about this? You know, we've talked a lot about different things we're going to do here, there, everywhere.

How are you feeling about this? Oh, wait. Before we get there, let's do this. I almost wanted to get his thoughts, folks. And then I went, nah, I'm just going to play the song. It's like shit-talk on our listeners, but I think they're all, off pace on this. You know, it's funny, there are a few that share your belief that they don't, well,

if you don't like the song, and there are a few that would just like, you know, like the clip and, you know, I just, I air with the, I go, our listeners on the majority are the best out there. And they all say the same thing. They all say the same thing. Play the song. Play the song. Play the song.

So we're playing the song. Anyways, Mashup 32, look at the look we got going on here. If you're listening, you have no idea what we're talking about. But me and two's been messing around with some things. And we decided to try a little, you know, just try a little mess. And now we've got a little video. We've got a few things going on. Yeah, if you're, well, I don't know.

Artuz, are we airing the video of this? Like, are you showing your face yet? I don't, you know, it's funny. I didn't even know that we were going to be. Oh, I surprised him with this. This is perfect. Yeah, this was unexpected. So this is my surprise face.

Oh. Well, welcome to Mashup 32. I am Sean Newman, of course, host of the SNP, Sean Newman podcast. That is... That is actually 222 minutes. Look at that ugly face. Hey, how you doing? This is why there's a box, this whole thing right here. But yeah, you've been busy as hell. Yeah, I've been busy. Yeah, and repeat guests. Like, I feel like you're cheating on me with Tim Korski. Oh, Tim Korski? Tom Korski. Tom Korski. Oh, shoot. Oh, man.

Two's had the... I bet you he was just sitting there, folks. He's like, thinking, I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him. Anyways, yeah, Tom Korski's been fantastic. Yeah, and then you keep having them on, and I just, I don't feel special anymore. Like, what's the deal with that? Well, I want somebody who can actually talk about the news, and I mean, Tom is the man.

Like, Zing, Bing. I can appreciate where you're coming from with that, Sean, believe it or not. The Mashup 32 is brought to. you by Rohan Rig Services. Of course, all their details are in the show notes. I was, you know, twos off air folks is like, you know, you can ask me some rig things if you want. And I'm like, I'm going to wait until a snowstorm.

And then I'm a really bad one. And I'm going to go, twos, were you working today? Nope. No, I wasn't shut down because of the snowstorm, though. But I bet you there were a lot. The girls in for repairs. Actually, you know, not really. Like, the thing about it is, is it's fairly easy nowadays.

to dress like the technology for clothing where you can stay outside for a while, it's actually really not too bad anymore. It's not like it was 15 years ago where you just put on like everything you owned and you'd go like that kid from Christmas story and you couldn't even like run a brain candle. Yeah, you're trying to throw joints and it's just,

ugh, ugh. No, it's those days are gone. Like you can still bundle up and stuff, but you're not like the technology. to keep you warm is pretty good. And I mean, you got a dog house when you go in and warm up on a regular basis. Once cold, you do it more often. It's really quite bearable.

Like, I don't know, you still hear the odd instance about frostbite here and there. And I think mostly it's just that companies want you to be cognizant of it. It's really not. Yeah. Oh, here's, here's a great way to plug Rohan rig service sick. People hardly ever get frostbite anymore. I guess. Oh, man.

I tell you what, when it comes to some making some coin, though, I mean, if you're sitting, you know, like all the governments, we're going to hear all about it today. Everybody's getting money handouts. Everybody's getting money here, there, everywhere. I'm like, you want to go to work, make some money? And I think have the occasional snowstorm off. That's what I think.

Yeah, you do get shut down when it gets sufficiently cold. Thank you. But, I mean, I'm not sure where Rohan's at exactly on the pay scale, but for an experience, Roughneck at my company, it's $36 bucks an hour, plus you get per diems, plus you get paid travel time.

And if you work your way up to where you're running a crew truck, you're getting mileage and stuff too. And that's pretty standard across the board. So I'm sure that Rohan does the exact same thing. I would think so. I would think so. But yeah, something like 32, 34 for just showing up green as grass.

That's pretty decent. Pretty decent. I would say. What did you get paid for? your first fucking drop. I got paid five bucks an hour when I worked for Sam Piper back in the day. You kidding me? 250. I worked for my folks. Oh, my goodness. You know, and I was telling you before we started this that I went and opened for

opened, act like I'm an opening act. I emceed for like a minute for Terry Clark. And when I interviewed her, she was making 15 bucks a day in Nashville singing. Like, come on. Anyways, good wage. It's a good freaking wage. Oh, absolutely. Plus paid over. time. Yeah, that's great. Like when I first started rough neckin, it was $17 an hour. And that was, I was just

I could believe how rich I was. I was just roll it. Like I would just get it all in $5 bills and just roll around on it. I was like Bill Burr in Breaking Bad where him and that other guy just lie back on the giant stack of money. And that was at half the wage

that you make now. Okay. 100%. And I feel like, you know, we could have 22 minutes on Rohan and the Rigs and everything else and some stories. That might be a fun little mashup, okay? We got to get to a listener or two's text. The one that I'm thinking of, you know, we were trying to get it all across Canada. If you're sitting in Quebec, if you're sitting in none of it, Northwest Territories, those are the three.

Yes? Actually, I got a, yeah, I got a call, buddy, I'm going to Quebec tomorrow. So I'll bug him about it. Tell him WTF. Yeah. Here's one. It says, thanks for another great podcast. podcast. Sarah was awesome. She's talking about Sarah Swain, who was just on the show. I wish we could

have stayed in Alberta. However, there's no snow in Mexico. Keep up the great work. You're a savior to many. Hey, can you include me listening from Mexico on the Tuesday mashup challenge? That's Catherine. So, hey, we got Mexico tuning in as well. Katerina. Ola, Katerina. Como estaz? Anyways, I thought that was cool. Can we get on some headlines? Are we going to do that this week? I mean, it's kind of what we're here for. I don't know. I feel like we got like this, this fancy look to us and we're like, I don't know, man.

You're just reveling in the fact that we've got this fancy new setup and you just, you're enjoying it so much that you think people are going to tune in just to see all the stuff we have around us. See this dirty stash, am I? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Congratulations on your March Vember that you've kept going for six months. That's a lie. Anyways, here goes the time.

Femm. You can, you're going to let me spit it out. Here we go. Okay. Okay, Canada tire, Canadian tire, Canada tire, oh boy, Canadian tire is Canada's one-stop shop. An OPP officer posing as a survivalist stockpiling weapons testified that he bought a suitcase full of hand grenades for 110 grand in the mall parking lot. In Ancaster, a court has heard that, yeah, there you go to, is. What do you have to say?

So that was in a Canadian tire parking lot, so you can't just get it right now. next to the drill bits or anything like that. But apparently, I mean, you know, that's pretty much everything. I mean, they got the tents. They've got all the fishing gear. If you go to the right one, you can still get guns. I think Cochran still has firearms in theirs,

and there's a few other ones. And apparently, if you talk to the right person in the parking lot, you can buy actual motherfucking grenades. I'm just wondering, if you're planning for, you know, the end of the world, what's on the top of your list? Like, I mean, I'm trying to think of what I do with a bunch of hand grenades. I don't know.

Is that on the top of your list? Like, are you spending 100? Is that a wise way to spend your money? Oh, and add in that there was cocaine in there, too. So not only are you, you know, you're like, you're going to have some fun, but we're going to stockpile for the end of the world with 110 grand worth of grenades. I don't know if it makes any sense. I'd be worried about more long-term things.

I mean, the problem with grenades is that they're hard to reload. but I mean at 18 hundred bucks a pop I have no idea if that's a good or bad price for grenades I'd be more worried about like getting a crossbow or you know I maybe a good crack barrel pellet gun like the the really high energy ones are you you're gonna you know like where well because no because have you seen like those 22 caliber pellet guns that you actually need a pal to get like they they don't fuck around and I mean you're not not going to drop a moose with them, but in terms of being able to hunt game, absolutely. And I mean, you don't have to worry about CO2 cartridges.

You get a few O-ring kits for it. And then you can fit 250 rounds in your fist as opposed to we're running about like, oh, yeah, 2050. We ran out of ammo. Oh, I guess we're all going to die. Nope. Okay. Okay. You know, that's one way to start off a matchup.

Smith helps liberals. Liberals are ungrateful. I don't think that should surprise us. Federal Tourim Minister and Eminton Liberal MP, Randy Bozano is accusing Alberta Premier. Alberta Premier, holy man, the tongue does not want to work tonight, folks. Daniel Smith of attacking Canadian Unity with their proposed Sovereignty Act. What say you?

Well, Rex Murphy got me thinking about this a little bit. And I think he's absolutely spot on where this is something that has probably done more for unified Canada than anything in the past seven years easily. Because there's a lot of people in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan's just basically plagiarizing the Alberta Sovereignty and United Canada Act. Oh, how dare you. Like, okay, I just want to copy off your work. Like, okay, let's just change it a little bit. so no one can tell, right?

Yeah, so anyway, well, I mean, I said, you know, next time you get Danielle Smith on, ask her how she feels about plagiarism, right? But anyway, the thing about this is, okay. If Daniel Smith is listening to this, how about we get you on the show, stop dodging and let's go here. That's just a shout out to all the Daniel Smith lovers,

and I know a few of her close confidons, listen to the old mashup. Let's go. I'm open. Carry on. Anyway, the thing about it is, is that there's just been this huge divide growing between western, like the prairies, basically, and the rest of Canada.

And this is the only thing that's done anything to help bridge that gap is just, okay, well, we can stay in Confederation, but it has to work for us. And that's a lot better than the liberals being like, this is what's going to happen and eat a dick if you don't like it. That doesn't really promote a United Canada. Eat a dick if you don't like it. I mean, like, what, like, it should be part of the national anthem. Like, that's when he changed the, in all thy son's command a few years ago. If you wanted to be really accurate about his ideal version of Canada, it should have been eat a dick if you don't like it.

And she's actually trying to bridge the gap. That's one way to, that's one way to transition. Here we go. Liberals make last minute change to gun laws again. Mm-hmm. You sent maybe, I gotta give you credit on this. The one article you sent, actually the only article you sent on this. You sent two.

You sent two. One was statistics. One was an article. The article was fantastic. Okay. Well, that's because it's from the Fraser Institute and they don't fuck around. So you gotta give me a little bit of here. Okay.

This week in a move that's done gun owners across Canada, the Trudeau government unveiled several new amendments to Bill C-21, first introduced earlier this year, which is past. and the House of Commons will represent the largest, if passed, will represent the largest gun ban in Canadian history. I'm sorry, folks. The tongue does not want to work tonight.

Figure your shit out, Sean. I know. The proposed, we'll talk about shit later. The proposed amendments prohibit. The listeners have no idea what's in the store for them. I was just thinking. Okay. Take a breath.

It's a big day here on the mashup. But anyways, the proposed amendments prohibit all semi-automatic rifles shotguns capable of discharging center fire ammunition in semi-automatic manner, and that is designed to accept a detachable cartridge magazine with a capacity greater than five cartridges. I feel like gun owners are getting a little bit hot and heavy. In other words, most firearms used by hunters in Canada, that's what they're taking away. That's what they're trying to take away. If the amendment becomes law, millions of Canadians will instantly possess illegal firearms, which, if not handed over to government officials, will be confiscated.

Let's continue on. Taken together with two strokes of the pen, the Trudeau government has sought to confiscate more than $3 billion worth of private property from law-abiding Canadians, while simultaneously likely bankrupting hundreds of small businesses in about one-third of Canadian firearms industry. Hunting and firearms, businesses alone contribute to more than $5 billion in Canada's economy and support more than $45,000 jobs. Look at Prophet River, for example, right?

I know. I actually, and Profit River, if you don't listen to the podcast, been a huge sponsor of me. They've been awesome. And I read things like this, and I'm like, holy crap. Tews has been harping on this for literally 32 mashups, and it just keeps getting worse, does it not? I like shooting guns.

And, I mean, granted, I'm a little bit partial to muzzle orders, but, I mean, I've still got some stuff that, like, this is just ridiculous. Like, because all it takes for any center fire semi-automatic gun to get banned at this point is for somebody to 3D print an extended cartridge magazine. And then they're like, oh, well, now that gun can accept that magazine so it has to be banned. So for all intents and purposes, if you own a gun that fires once every time you pull the trigger and it's center fire, that's it. that's it they're all gone

that you know you got a great 30 odd six at home I mean like basically it's everything except for 30 30s and muzzle loaders even though technically you pull the trigger once the gunfires once in a muzzle loader something to think about

but yeah yeah you got 30 30s and then 22s I hate to go down conspiracy rabbit hole center but like when you go through like this article had just great stats you've been trying to explain it to me this article just broke it down perfectly. Mm-hmm.

When you go, what are they doing? Like, are they trying to get rid of all guns across Canada? Is that what they want? Well, yes, but no. They're trying to win in major urban centers where people largely have never owned firearms, hence the second link, which is all stats. Basically, the less you're around firearms,

the less you know about them, and the more you are about controlling them. And it's interesting, like you see accounts like Polly Suivant on Twitter, they say, we don't want people to be educated about the safe operation and storage and everything else and the regulations around firearms. And if for some reason, these things were bad, which as a standalone thing, they're not, but if they were bad, you would say, you know what, everybody in Canada should take the PAL course because we want everybody to know exactly how bad and evil and awful they are.

You're like, well, no, no, no, we don't want to have people having an educated conversation. about this. And that in there should tell you how it is. But here's the thing. So you've got people in Toronto and Montreal that just think all guns are scary and bad. And so they say, okay, well, we're going to get rid of all guns. You say, well, if you guys read a fucking book every once in a while,

you might realize that that is totally not the fucking case. But it wins them elections. Yeah. Yeah. But you think if you're in an urban center and all you got is crap happening over and over and over and over again because that's where a lot of the crime happens. Wouldn't you want to get to the root you cause? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe you just don't care

that much. If you don't ever find out what the root causes, then how can you? I guess. Fed's trying to land on private land can land themselves in hot water. Geez, you know, when I talk about things on the mashup going like full circle, like where we, you know, you really see a story evolve. Well, here's another one. The Saskatchewan government has finalized changes to the province's trespassing legislation after alleged incidents of trespassing by federal employees. I think all of us can remember them testing the water and not asking permission and all that jazz. On Wednesday, the province introduced the trespass to property amendment act of 2022. This formalizes and reinforces the changes to trespass regulations made

earlier this year that require federal employees to comply with the act, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, they've been added saying you can't just walk on somebody's land, basically. Yeah, yeah. I mean, how weird is that? If you want to show up and take some samples out of somebody's dugout, you've got to go knock on the door, say hi, introduce yourself and maybe kind of explain what the hell you're doing there instead of just crawling through the fence and just being who knows what the fuck, right? I this is just it's it's funny like you would think okay here's the thing this would never happen in the states tell you what you go down to Texas and try and just sneak onto somebody's land and steal some of their water even if it's in little vials you're not even going to get there you're going to get fucking shot because it's really fucking rude and they got laws you know the um you know castle something whatever else right but the thing about it is is that you would think in this day and age with tensions being as high as they own if you're a federal employee in Saskatchewan anywhere in the prairies, you're probably not liked anyway.

You should probably just be like, hey, so I just kind of got to sneak over there for a sec. I'm just going to grab like 30 milliliters. Yeah, but it's a lost skill. Just don't shoot me in the butt. Just don't shoot me in the butt. It's a lost skill going and talking to somebody.

Even though it's in the job description, it is a law skill. Nobody knows how to talk to anyone anymore. Not being an absolute fucking meathead, as far as federal employees go, is a loss. skill Sean I agree 100% oh man

government handouts cause inflation but only when the conservatives do it the latest numbers show over one in five tax Canadian tax dollars today didn't exist prior to 2020 I want you to think about that one I'm going to say that one more time for the listener the latest numbers show over one in five Canadian dollars today

didn't exist prior to 2020 money. Traditionally, That's called quantitative easing for everybody at home. It's where the government prints more money and it makes the money that you have less valuable. Traditionally, the expansion of the money supply precedes inflation. Just the expansion over the past two years is larger than all money in Canada prior to 1996. There's another head shaker for your head scratcher for you, okay? Now that was one article breaking down how much money the federal government put in the system, okay?

And then the other article is provinces are peppering the public with cash to deal with soaring prices compound inflation rather than easing it. Economists say basically what they're doing is they're attacking all the provinces for doing what the federal government did for two years. Yes? That's exactly it. I would say that they're focusing primarily on Alberta because it's CBC this article and they have a very strong anti-everything intelligent bias. And I'll give you this. The UCP, over the last several weeks,

has been doing a lot of things which I support. Which are. End of story. What? Come on. What are you supporting? Okay. Well, they had Tyler Shandrel call for Brenda Lucky's resignation.

They're looking into getting the Alberta police. police force on its own. They're looking into collecting taxes on their own so that it's it's them deciding that the money goes to the feds, not the other way around. The Alberta Sovereignty Act, I have no issues with that whatsoever. I think that it is just a clear definition of where the different levels of government are, which I think there's there's nobody who can look at any of it and say this is bad unless you're trying to spin it. And here's the thing is that as far as policy goes, until I see something different,

there's nothing that anybody can say bad about the things that have happened unless it's trying to spin. I mean, you even had one of the guys who got fired off that Alberta Health Services Board of Directors the other day talking about how. Losing his shit on Daniel Smith. Well, no, no, no. There was another one.

So we covered that. But there was another one where the guy said, yeah, I totally get it. We can't keep running a Soviet-era health care bullshit system. I mean, there was a guy in New Brunswick who died in the ER just the other day because he sat there for five hours with pains and pains and pains, and then all of a sudden he didn't have pains anymore,

but that's because he stopped living. Liberals avoid transparency as it is tradition. And I would love to say that we have never talked about this, but I feel like this is a weekly headline. Um, let's go here. What, what do I got here? It says, Justice Minister David Lamedi admitted Wednesday that the Trudeau government didn't use the legal definition to decide to invoke the Emergencies Act.

They used their own reasons, but you can't see them. Yes. And if you haven't, or it's now over the Emergencies Act Commission, if you weren't paying attention, here, this, this sums it up perfectly. We know that neither the RCMP, the OPP, the OPP, nor the Ottawa police thought invoking the Emergencies Act was necessary. We also know, the official report by CISIS

said that the convoy protest did not meet legal threshold set out by law on any of their four points. So every police force in this beautiful country said it didn't meet the threshold for invoking it. And yet, I'm going to read it again,

they use their own reasons, but you cannot see them. Well, that's the thing. They cited solicitor-client privilege in terms of the testifying on this. And actually, this whole kangaroo court of a hearing could have been over in 10 minutes because the whole point of the hearing is, did they meet the legal threshold to invoke the act? That's the whole point of all of this. Correct.

So talking about people having PTSD and permanent hearing loss without actually very, verifying it with with any medical records all of this bullshit about how people felt intimidated but there was no actual violence all that stuff was just sham after sham after bullshit time wasteer they could have just literally had david lemtie on there who you recall was the guy who got brought in as that minister after they got rid of jody wilson raebold because she wouldn't tow the company line on sancy laval it okay and so this guy went up there and he said no It didn't meet the legal threshold, but we had our own reason for it. And they said, okay, what's that?

And he said, I'm not going to tell you. You just have to trust us. And so it's interesting because now I don't know exactly how the burden of proof lies with this, because you think this should be a slam dunk either way, like where if the burden of proof, as far as I can tell the way it's set up, it should be that the liberals have to prove that it was necessary to invoke the emergencies act. okay and so you sit down in the courtroom truth whole truth nothing but the truth unless you're trudeau and then you you say okay well did it meet the legal threshold and you say no but we had our own threshold and you say okay can you tell us about that and then they say no you say fair enough

guilty motherfucker get the fuck out that should be it yeah uh i mean uh for anyone who didn't pay attention to it or just wanting the clear cut what happened. Yeah, relatively, it was really interesting to see all the cops say, no, I, no, it didn't, no, it didn't, no, it didn't. No, we never did. No, we never did. But two's pretty much lays it out there for you. And, uh, yeah, here, uh, we were talking about shit. Well, here we go. Impending rail strike will mean shit hits the fan. This is an interesting one that I did not even beyond, like when I read the headline, blew my mind. New Yorkers could be stuck with 2.4 million pounds of their own feces a day. Per day, yep.

Due to impending rail strike. Trains that transport raw sewage from New York City to landfills in the south could come to a screeching halt as a deal brokered by the Biden administration between rail workers and the companies they worked for fell apart Monday. Human extrament is stored in freight containers filled with biosolids, which dehydrates the sewage and allows it to be transatlantic. transported to landfills. Although New York City used to dump its sewage in the Atlantic Environmental Protection laws put it in place by the US federal government required the raw sewage to be treated and dumped in landfills. And then and then just one little more story. In April 2000, you're wondering, I'm wondering what that is like. In 2018, a train holding millions of pounds of excrement from New York caught, got stuck in

parish Alabama with a population of nine 982. The train stuck in the rail yard next to a softball field forced people to stay indoors and little league games had to be rescheduled as a result. If you're wondering what a million pounds of extra rent would do in a train. If you're wondering what a million pounds of shit smells like, just go to Ottawa for a minute. But here we go. So you think Canada has problems with pipelines? Like this is like, oh, we can't get our, we can't get our oil products to ports we have to set it by train and then that causes all kinds of delays like we are we are just

not recognizing our privilege here we've got it pretty good when you think about it the fact that we don't have to call giant rail cars full of shit up and down our fucking cn and cp rail lines like this is crazy dude i had no idea about i had no idea of this no idea yeah yeah so this is this is what new york does to get rid of all of its shit because they can't throw at the hudson bay anymore Like Montreal can still dump all there There's an Ottawa can still dump all there. Let's not talk about that though. You know, let's talk to.

No, but think about it is. Like just like if you think about why automobiles were so readily embraced once they first got mass produced by Ford, it was because, well, I mean, there's a few things, but one of the big ones was that big cities

like New York City specifically were having trouble getting rid of all the shit from all the horses every day. And they were like, if this city gets any bigger, how are we possibly going to deal with all of this shit? Well, they solved one problem,

they create another one, and the whole world goes full circle. Here's an interesting one, okay? A herd of ostriches flew the coop. Now, give me a sec here, too, so I want to try something. You know, I'm feeling all adventurous, you know, here as we mess around with things.

Oh, shit, you're doing an audible on this. Okay, here we go. Okay, all right, here we go. All right. Tell me if you can see this. Can you see it? Yeah, it's coming up. Oh, my gosh.

This is the first time I've never seen this. Of course it's the first time you've ever seen it. How many fucking ostriches do you see getting out on a day-to-day basis? Oh, my gosh. This is the first time I never seen this. Oh, my God. Okay, you've got to cut it out. Like, okay, just for next week.

You've got to cut it out after the first playing, and then just go immediately back to us talking about it. Oh, man. Oh, my God. This is the third time I've ever seen this. Kill it, John. Shut it down. Tell me that isn't the...

I'm sorry. If you're listening, you know, what you missed is the video of the ostrich running in Tabor, right? I think it's Tabor. Down like Main Street and cops trying to wrangle them in. That should have been maybe our happy story of the week. Seeing that video play three, ten times. You know, I mean, but dang, that's some funny stuff. I thought the same thing.

I was like, maybe we should do this is the happy story. But I just, it was too crazy, bizarre, awesome, classic small town, Canada, weird stuff that you just, you don't see in Alabama. Although apparently you see some weird shit in Alabama. Okay. You get British windfall tax blows away investment. The British government unveiled a 15 billion pound emergency aid package on Thursday. featuring a 25% tax on profits at oil and gas firms to help offset increases in the cost of living. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, so they said, okay, we're going to tax an extra 25% on the oil and gas companies.

And then Shell, who is a big player in the North Sea, which is, well, it's just on the north end of Europe. For those of you who are looking at an atlas right now or even still have an Atlas. this day and age. So yeah, it shares a few coasts here and there with places like Norway and and the Denmark and stuff like that. So anyway, Shell's got a lot of stuff there. And they said, we're reconsidering this investment project of 25 billion pounds, which I don't know is probably roughly 50 billion Canadian. I don't know what it's currently at, but call it that and someone can correct me if it's important. But when you start taxing companies more, they, decide to move their investments into other places where they can get a better return on investment.

And so it's just, it's funny how like when you, when you, if you want somebody to do something less, you punish them. And that's what a tax is. It is it's a punishment. And so, you know, now all of a sudden, boom, $50 billion, Canadian, give or take, all of a sudden is just right on the edge of disappearing from their, from their economy. And this is, I mean, you saw this in Alberta time and time again between the NDP provincially and the liberals federally over the past seven years where people just said, okay,

well, you know what? We had like Brian, who later got bought out by China, they had a $15 billion or $14 billion project that they had slated for North of Fort Maca and Fort McI and they decided to invest it in, I think it was South Africa instead. They just literally took that money and they said,

we're going to spend exactly this amount of money. in some place that's a little less fucking crazy. And then it was still Africa. Yeah. You got to be careful what you're doing. Investing in India. I mean, we've seen tech mine.

You name it. They've all left. And this is the same thing. And it's happening all around the world. And here's the thing. I know we already did the buzzer, but take that, take that off. Take that off.

We're not there yet. Okay. We already did the buzzer. We're not at Limey? No, we are not at Limey. Okay. It's weird that we got two things from British. Anyways, look, you know, when people talk about how we're doing comparatively good to the other G7 countries, I mean, like, they've all got shit policies. They're ran by fucking idiots. And just because we're in the middle of the pack of a fucking idiots doesn't mean we're good by any stretch of the imagination. Compare us to Liechtenstein the next time you want to talk about how we're doing internationally. All right. Limey gets gold in blue water lakes. And once again, we're going to go.

Go to the share of the screen. Yes, please. This is the ugliest fucking fish. We're going to see if I can pull it up here. All right, we're going to see. Can you see this sucker? All right, well, it's loading. There you go.

Okay, go up, go up to the side. Are you seeing this? So, yeah, to be clear, I mean, he's not very pretty, but the dude with the suspenders is the person and the other one's the fish. Okay, scroll up, though. Scroll up, scroll up. There you go.

That one, that one. Look at that ugly fucking fish. Now, for perspective, for perspective, that is a coy fish. Like those tiny little kind of catfish-looking things, they look like a cross between a catfish and a goldfish. They're actually really cool. I think, if I understand correctly, goldfish are bred from coy fish. You know, like selective breeding to create a new species kind of thing like golden retrievers. But anyway, those little fish that you see weighs in a staggering 67.4 pounds.

20 years it's been in the lake 15 What's it 20? Well, whatever It's at 15 But I mean, okay We'll just Okay, fine, inflation, right?

It's making everything bigger. And you know what? It's making everything bigger, right? We'll go down here And we'll do this for you as well. Just like these people want to see it. There you go. Catches the fish,

releases the fish. That thing's fucking huge. Like, you know how goldfish the bigger the tank? You put them in, the bigger they get. And then you think, well, what happens if you ever let one out in the wild? Like, would it become a whale? Yeah, that's basically it, right?

This is a cousin of a goldfish. And Jesus Christ, that fuckers ugly, too. Tews, what did you think of the new digs? What did you think of this week? Of this? I thought it was fun and interesting. We definitely should probably go with the video because of the way you fucked up the whole ostrich thing out that that was really fun.

We need to make sure we can document that thoroughly. You know, the guy on this side does some cool things, and what does he get shit on for? Showing a funny ostrich video three fucking times because it was on repeat and he couldn't figure his way out of the screen. Hey, folks, love having you here with us on this side. I see more and more things, Tews, starting to do exactly what we're doing. I'm blowing up on this side. Oh, really? Yeah, oh, yeah.

I got a new newsletter somehow that basically is a newsletter doing what we're doing, pointing out funny headlines. and everything else. And I was like, how did I get signed up for this? I'm curious about it. I mean, if they're going to copy your work, they may as well, you know, just send you what they're doing. Send it along. Send it along.

Either way, I've enjoyed 32. We're sticking with the number. I kind of like the number. And we'll catch you next week, Bigfellow, okay? We'll see you then, man.
