Oh shoot, I'm totally not ready. I didn't have a rant planned. Oh. I don't know what I can talk about now. I'm totally drawing a blank. Well, you know what you're supposed to do? Not fucking talk. Don't ruin it.

Stop talking for the rest of the intro. Okay, does that make you happy? You guys should see what he's giving me right now. We get to do this in studio and I'm thinking about jumping across it and that being the entire episode. That would be fun. Yeah. Except I got my most expensive piece of equipment in front of me and I'm like, do I risk it? The table.

Oh no, the table can handle it. This baby was built for, this is a bomb shelter. Yeah. Now, I'm just going to enjoy the song. But you fucked with me in the first week. I get to fuck with you in the second one, and that means we get the song. Oh, I'm overseas?

Just the full song. Two things I'm cutting it short. I'm not. In the studio tonight, folks, Sean's still pissed about week one. Week 36. Well, if I'd have fucking ever, Anything else as badly as you did, I'd still be pushed to vote or two.

He still might get it tonight. I feel like you probably would have cut the song short if you could have figured it out which button to put. Week 37, mashup 37, welcome to the studio twos. Thanks, man. It's good to be back here. I mean, we don't get this too often, so this is pretty cool to have you in, you know? Like, how many times have we done this where you're sitting up north and it's like shoddy service and everything else? Yeah, it's so much better when it's in person.

Let's not even remind everybody. But I thought I would, you know, we're going to talk a little bit over this song, which I didn't want to do. I was thinking about just muting you or beating you with the mic. I thought about many a thing. I had a week to stew on it. And let me tell you, folks, I stewed. The beef has been stewed.

Hey, we're without a sponsor. We're homeless, you know, it's kind of like, huh. It's funny after Vance Crow threw out, and I, you know, I got no problem talking about Ron. I think they're fantastic to us. They absolutely. Maybe down the road they come back, but I tell you what. It's funny.

I'm like, Vance Crow's even talking if he moves to Alberta, he's going to work for him. I'm like, you know, I feel like maybe it was just starting to catch on. Yeah, it's interesting to think. I don't know anybody from Missouri who's ever worked rigs before. So that might be a little bit different. Vance's delicate hands couldn't handle it anyways. Oh, he's got the soft liberal hands, does he? Well, if you're wondering who we're talking about, chances are, you know exactly who we're talking about.

But SMP presents the urban rural divide January 22nd. Yes, on a Sunday, for the love of God, people. Everybody's just been Sunday? Sunday? Is it sure Sunday? Sunday? That's not a night for Sunday. Let me tell you a quick little story, okay? QDM, actually, I'm going to back it up.

Fas Crow says to me, he's from St. Louis, Missouri. If he ever comes this way, he'll come to a show with me. I'm like, oh, sweet. He's in Eminton. The Monday, the Tuesday. So I'm like, okay, what do I do I do? I stew on this. I'm like, what do I do?

What do I do? And I'm like, you know what I do? I'm like, you know what? He would, but it doesn't really fit with what I've done. So I'm like, okay, I wonder if QDM, because the only reason I know who Vance is is through QDM because anyways, QDM is in Vermillion on Saturday. I'm like, stars have aligned.

Yeah. Now Steve Barber signed on. Anyways, tickets in the show. The literal stars. Yeah. I think it's going to be a fun night. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'll be incognito. I'll just be sitting there smiling and nod in my head and I don't know, maybe disagreeing with all three of them at some point here and there. Well, hey, they've issued the challenge. At least that's what went out on Twitter. Fans Crow issues the challenge and they both said we'll see. And that is he wants people in the audience to while they're doing their little 12 minute talks to put little notches on or whatever you want to do so that after they're done,

they can raise hands and say who they disagreed with the most. Vance says they're going to disagree the most with him. I'm guessing I'll probably disagree the most with Sean. Anyways, you can find tickets in the show notes. I'm going to put a little stress on the listener if you're thinking of coming. The big date is this Sunday because casino wants to know numbers, right? There will be a few extra tickets after that date, but if you're thinking of coming, and just go buy the tickets.

That way we can get up to the number. Anyways, you get the point. And a cool story. I was saying this, you know, before we get into the headlines here, it's interesting to have you in person and not have to worry about lag and all that video lag and everything else. I got a text for my dad to say,

do you know who Blake Usselman is? I hope I'm saying that right. And I'm like, who? I'm like, oh, wait. And then he sends me this picture anyways. And I'm like, I feel like if I check my phone, I'm going to know exactly who this is. Well, it's a firefighter from Sassalman.

listen to the podcast. Awesome. Dad's in Mexico with mom. And a guy says, hey, you want to take a picture? Yeah, yeah, sure, not a problem. Take a picture. They get talking, of course, because that's what Saskatchewan people do. Yep.

Goes where you're from, Saskatchewan, you know, they needle it down all the way to where you from. And dad goes, Helmand. He goes, Helmand. It's, you know Sean Newman? And he starts laughing. He's like, yeah, that's my son. Here you go all the way to, anyways.

Small world, right? Oh, for sure. Saskatchewan is the only place in the world, too, is where, you know, anyways. People just find each other. I was in this weird, not weird, but just incredibly remote resort island in the Gulf of Thailand. And whenever I leave the country, not anymore, I guess, although I haven't left the country in a few years. But, you know, since they tried to go woke, I haven't really drank it. But I used to always get an eight-pack of tallboy pill and just wherever I was going, you know, bust them out here, bust them out there.

Europe, you know, wherever. I brought him down to Mexico and I'm in, I'm on this island called Fuquok in the Gulf of Thailand. It's part of Vietnam. And I end up just chatting with this guy who's this retired teacher and he's just been tour in the world for like six months with his wife. And he lived in Saskatoon and he's like, man, you know what? It's great, but I really miss Pilsner. And I'm like, oh yeah, that's interesting. Oh, hey, I got to go to the bathroom.

I'll be right back. duck in the hut or whatever on the beach, went and grabbed my last couple pill, brought them out. And he's like, no way. Like, just imagine, like, you're literally pretty much the antipode of where you grew up. And that little local beer that you miss, someone just happens to have one on the other side of the planet.

I thought that was kind of cool. I, you've probably ingrained yourself, that you've given that guy a story for the rest of the time. I'm one. And then two, you've just given me a new word that I've never heard before. Antipode. It's the opposite side. It's the opposite side of the earth.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I've never heard that before. Hey, learning new things on the mashup, folks. Okay, let's get rid of the niceties. Here we are. Anyways, I'm excited to have you in studio. I'm pissed off the first week, you know, so here we are.

Here we are. Sean has read all the articles. He's feeling good today, folks. Weird. What's going on, dude? I don't know. I don't know. New Year's resolution. I'm just a week late on it. Oh, okay. Here we go. Yeah. So this is February resolution or something. I've got the timer set for 30 minutes tonight. We've got 13 things. I'm giving us a bonus a couple of minutes. We'll see if we get there or not. Either way, we got some interesting ones for you. Okay. So here we go.

Timer started. Trudeau picks a fight with Alberta. History repeats itself. Here's a couple of the lines I took from one of the articles. One of the challenges is there's a political class in Alberta that has decided that anything to do with climate change is going to be bad for them or for Alberta. Trudeau said in an interview with routers, the business news service with the worldwide audience. Trudeau added, we've seen for a while Alberta hesitating around investing in anything related to climate change. He was talking about carbon capture usage and storage, a field that Alberta has led for 14 years, apparently outside of the state. the knowledge of the country's prime minister he said uh but c c u.s and could he even pick out Alberta on a map I don't know he can't say it and you remember when he did his uh one of his speeches

and he left Alberta completely like that is he named off every single province and territory except Alberta except Alberta and let's be clear I that was a tantral I don't fucking care how could it not be like once his coincidence twice his happenstance three times his enemy action Goldfinger, right? This is how many times has he just been antagonizing Alberta in the past seven years? And then you look at history repeats itself. Pierre Trudeau, same damn thing. Like, the only reason why Justin is prime minister is because of the name brand recognition

associated with a guy who came this close to tearing the country apart, which actually might have been a good thing. hindsight. But if you bring his progeny in, why would you expect anything different, right? And this is it. Like here, from the other article, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is either clueless about what's going on in Alberta or cares nothing for the truth. My vote is both. Oh, I got worried the battery died. I thought I got worried the battery died too, folks. I'm like, This cannot be how week two or week 37 goes week two of the year. Can you believe it?

Anyways, Canadian psychologist needs a shrink. I feel like everybody's seen this, but, you know, we'll bring you up to speed if you haven't. Of course, we're talking about Jordan Peterson. The first tweet I got is former AM 640 host Charles Adler said women are repelled by prominent Canadian psychologist and author of Dr. Jordan Peterson because he promotes toxic. toxic masculinity. Fortunately, women are in the majority, said Adler, and since deleted Thursday tweet. If they did not have the vote,

Peterson would be in charge of everything. And Peterson responded by saying, around the world, women have bought a fair number of my books. How many he asked? Four million. And to clarify, it's been decided. This is one of the tweets Peterson had, and I apologize.

I want to, I got a lot of time. You still haven't actually laid this out yet. Well, it's been decided. This is the short, brief thing. I either submit to social media communication retraining or face disciplinary hearing and possible suspension of my clinical license and the right to represent myself as a psychologist.

And part of the article, I thought this was good to read off as well. And everybody knows how highly I think of Jordan Peterson. And, you know, if the world is ever going to give me Jordan Peterson on the podcast, I'll just put it out there yet again. that I'd like to have them on. If I agree to this, then I must admit that I have been unprofessional in my conduct and to have that noted publicly, even as the college insists that I am not required to admit to any wrongdoing. If I refuse, and I have, of course, refused. The next step is a mandatory public disciplinary session inquiry and the possible suspension

of my clinical license, all of which will also be announced publicly. I should also point out the steps already taken, constituent, constitute, sorry, the second most, serious possible response to my transgressions on the part of the college. I have been placed in the category of repeat offender with high risk of further repetition. Here's some of his offenses. I retweeted a comment made by conservative leader Pierre Poliov about the unnecessary severity of the COVID lockdowns. I criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I criticized Justin Trudeau's former Chief of Staff Gerald Butts. I feel like we would be reprimanded as well after this. I criticized the Nottwe's City Counselor and I made a joke about the Prime Minister of New Zealand.

I did all... Just send to Ardern. Yes, I did that all disrespectfully, by the way, in a horrific manner that spread misinformation that was threatening and harassing, that was embarrassing to the profession. I am also... These are separate offenses,

sexist, transphobic, incapable of the requisite body positivity in relationship to morbid obesity, and unforgivably, unforgivably of all a climate change denialist. That is... Anyways. And now I shall...

I'll start the timer. I wanted to get that all in there. You know how highly I think of Jordan Peterson. It's funny, the whole body positivity thing. I mean, could you imagine speaking up on a podcast or someplace like that about body positivity being a little bit crazy and how it just doesn't go well for companies? That's something interesting to think about as we move forward through this episode. Oh, man. Listen, I remember following Peterson when he was talking about compelled speech.

and as a younger guy, not that it was that long ago, but as a younger guy, I just didn't get it. And I think we're all starting to get it. And he's got a lot of people paying attention. And the fact of the matter is that they don't seem to care. They seem to think he's going to submit to them

or he's going to lose his license. And we're all going to watch as this plays out. I think it's going to be really interesting to watch to see how it plays out because this is the same kind of thing like with Tom Korski, where you say, okay, well, look, if you're going to put a bullet to my head, you need to pull the trigger and you need to do it where everybody sees it. Yeah. I mean, Tom Korski is a beautiful one, right?

Because, I mean, Black Locks are Porter, which we will get to in this episode as well, is another one that's been removed. You know, it's just like all the people that I think are sane in this world. And I'm, listen, I liked what Pierre Poliath had to say about, to Jordan Peterson, right? I don't agree with 100% of what he says. I don't think I agree with 100% of what anyone says. But at the end of the day, he's right to be able to say it and everything else.

But with Jordan Peterson and Tom Korski, I'm like, let me tell you, they say a lot of right things. I really hope that I end up in the same gulag as at least one of those guys. Can you imagine being in the prison cell with those two guys? I just feel like, well, this is interesting. I mean. I feel like Jordan Peterson would wear a tux. every day and it would look immaculate.

We are a thousand miles from nowhere in the middle of the Northwest Territories. How are you doing this? Let's hope that never comes to fruition. Bombshell. Trudeau isn't good at his job. Bill Mourneau has a book. In said book, he says, Justin Trudeau's management and interpersonal communication abilities were sorely lacking.

This is news to everyone, it seems. Spoiler alert, folks. Mr. Bill Morno writes a new book, Lingering challenges were not managed on a daily basis at the highest level. The federal cabinet was chosen not necessarily for what brought to the business of governing, but the needs of promotion. Mornow says the prime minister's office often told them to give quarrelsome colleagues something to keep them happy so that money became a means for the PMO to manage egos

and relationships between cabinet ministers. I mean, can we just ring the buzzer? Like, have we not been... Now it's his own side attacking him. Well, is it even really his own side anymore? This is the guy who got busted for, if you recall... And it's interesting because to hear it how it's put forward in these articles, which is presumably a reflection of the book,

it talks about how he just had to resign during all these ongoing leaks that he thought were targeted at him and how just how difficult this whole COVID epidemic was and not anything to do with the $40,000 all expense paid trip that the weed charity gave him, which he insists had absolutely nothing to do with affecting his impartiality in giving them giant contracts. You're like, okay, but that's bullshit. So, like, I get the fact that you're... It feels like the ship is sinking and...

And the rats are. Yeah. Yeah. Right? Doesn't that what it feel like? And it's interesting because he's trying to paint himself as, you know, just this revisionist history version of actually being a decent guy. Were you like, no, actually, you were scum. And we know you were scum because you decided right before it came out, like the day before it came out,

you just so happened to be reviewing your records and realized that you owed them $40,000 that they never ever asked for. Come on. Yeah. MSM tries to tackle cardiac. Issues, this was Monday night football. Buffalo versus Cincinnati, DeMarne Hamlin. First, I just want to say, I think we're all happy to see DeMar Hamlin,

you know, given the heart to the fans, Buffalo and everything else. But the insanity of this is, is, I don't even know where it's at anymore, you know? One of the articles said, DeMar Hamlin's collapse highlights the violence, black men experience in football. And you're like,

Yeah, I feel like the violence, is not going to be racially motivated in football. It's going to probably come down to whoever is holding the ball. And maybe you say, black people are better at football, so they hold the ball more often, so they get tackled more. I don't know.

It's just, it's such a ludicrous, every time you think that the world cannot get any stupider, somebody writes this article in the scientific American. Well, it just seems like it's, it's so out in the open. You know, like, we talked about Justin Bieber, probably, like, I don't know what that was three months ago, and I was kind of like, like, everybody's seeing this, right? Like, I don't want to jump to conclusions, but when it starts happening everywhere, it's kind of like, I'm not really jumping to conclusion. This is the elephant in the room right now.

Yes, it is. Did you see the lady on CTV? Yeah, well, that's what I was just, I just want to make sure I got her name right, Jessica Robb. So she's the young lady. How old is she? Like, I could be wrong. I'm terrible with women. Maybe she's 32, but I mean, she looks like she's 20 to 25.

I don't know. She's like older than six younger than 40. Right. I feel like everybody younger than me. It's just impossible. So anyways, if you haven't seen the video of that, that's Eminton. That's on live television. And you're just like, first, I want to say my thoughts and prayers go to her family and to her.

Like, I'm not, like, I wish her no ill well. I wish her all the best. But at the same time when we act like, oh, That's not going to do with the vaccine. It's like, what the fuck are we talking about right now? McCullough came out with Italian researcher Panagos. I hope I'm saying that. Polaritis, it doesn't matter the name.

Anyways. And we were having this discussion in the locker room the other day. They determined that since the role of the vaccines, 1,598 European athletes have suffered cardiac arrest, 1,1001 of which with a deadly outcome. Okay. And you might go, oh, that's kind of an odd stat. Okay. compared to 11001 European athletes who died of various heart conditions over a 38 period from 66 to 2004. 38 years to get 1100.

We've had 1100. In the past year. And we're just supposed to pretend like this is just normal. Like you've seen everything from like climate change to everything. Aliens, UFOs. Everything is causing sudden adult death syndrome. except for the vaccine. And then it's interesting because people like,

oh, well, was he vaccinated or was Rebecca vaccinated? And then you've got the same people saying it's inappropriate for you to ask about the, it's inappropriate for you to ask about their personal medical history. A year ago, you had to show a QR code to get anything other than drive-through. And these were the same people pushing for it. Like this is just, it's incredibly ludicrous that they laid out the,

they drew up the laws of battle here. This is the stage that they set. And now we're saying, okay, well, was that person vaccinated? Oh, well, it's an incredibly poor taste for you to ask that. Oh, but it wasn't when I wanted to order a beer. And you know, on this show, we don't, we haven't talked a whole lot about it, right? I don't really want to very much. I don't either.

But when it stares you right in the fucking face, twos. Yeah. It's happening in Emmington. It's happening on Monday night football. I mean, like, it's like, Uh, what are we doing here? Well, maybe we should just acknowledge that perhaps on this one specific subject, the science is not settled. Oh, man, delivery drivers deign to discard Darth of drop-offs?

Did you write that headline? Delivery drivers deign to discard Darth? Am I saying that right? Dirt, yeah. What's Darth? Oh my God. This is the second, hey, folks, I'm learning a couple new words. I got no problem with it.

I got no shame. What's Darth? Let me just make sure I'm getting this exact. Oh, you don't even know. You don't even know. Scarcity or lack of something. Oh, okay. Anyways.

Calgary Food App delivery drivers say they're dropping or refusing orders if there's no tip because it's not worth it for them to make the drive. Randy, a guy quoted in the article, who has worked with DoorDash for five years, says that it can be, costly for a driver to make a delivery for little to no tip. With the gas prices up, you will lose money if people aren't tipping. Randy said some drivers do get pretty selective, both their orders. I do what I can, but every now and then you get an order. It might be $4 and you're driving $15,000, so you have to decline some of them.

And, of course, then that falls back on the restaurant because the restaurant's now got food sitting there going to waste. Anyways, you see what's happening here. It's interesting how good and bad these delivery apps simultaneously are. Because no one's forced to use them. If you're a restaurant and you don't feel like using DoorDash or skip the dishes, you just don't use them.

And if you're a person, which most people listening probably are. We probably got a couple bots too. Yeah, yeah. There's probably just some transcriber recording everything we say to be used in a future court thing right next to Jordan Peterson. But if you want to get delivery food, or food in general or whatever, no one's making you use the app. But they're highly successful.

And if you're somebody who wants to make some extra money, no one's forcing you to become a delivery person for these things. And so you've got this stuff where nobody likes it. Nobody enjoys it. And everybody feels like everybody is simultaneously getting ripped off. You're like, well, just don't use it then. Like, that's it. like don't don't complain about the the financial incentive for you to make that delivery

should exist within the realm of what you're getting paid to do it not what you're hoping to achieve in tips because honestly you shouldn't be able to tip until after that fruit gets delivered yeah as far as tips go um i mean yeah i think it's on the consumer if they want to tip here not so if you do a good job yeah you guys get a tip. I mean, that's kind of how you run. But the problem these guys got is the price of... The base job isn't paying them enough to do it.

Is paying them junk and what moves them around the city. Just don't do it. That's it. That's all you've got to do. Woke University are a regretta bad decision. Regretta bad decision. Whatever. British students protest

against greenwashing because their university spent 24,000 euros on a statue of grotes oh pounds yeah that's a pound sign hey thank you of gretta thunberg instead of donating to climate stuff not that it matters you know pound like nobody's gonna give you shit anyways thanks for correcting me you're you're spending 24,000 pounds on something that isn't gonna make a damn bit of difference in the climate rather than spending 24,000 pounds on some other thing that's not gonna make a damn bit of difference I mean if it's euros to the pounds nobody's like how many people

anyways it doesn't matter that's all I'm saying you crack me and I'm like at the end of the day, you know, if it's $24,000, if it's... We move past this. We've, like, we're already on something else, man. Anyways, like, fucking... Nobody's worried about this. No, nobody was. Like, unless we've got

somebody listening in the Sheffield, they're like, well, he was quite right to make that distinction. Can you imagine... Can you imagine going to school and your school puts a statue of Redathon where you got there? Like... How long do we have to wait before we tear it down?

The same day? Like, I mean... Like, they just, they pull the drape off of it and someone throws a rope over it, hooked up to a truck hitch. Yeah, that's, it's just... We didn't do, I think it was last week, we were talking about the pipeline blockades, right?

Yeah. And you remember, I was sharing my, and I didn't even think to share this at the start. Remember the lady texts me saying, actually the people at Eminton or inverter here, they removed it the same day. Like, they started to put up the blockade and guys came in or ripped it out and way it went.

Never stood the, that Greta Thunberg statue should probably be about the same. Oh, yeah, yeah. And then she'd just be standing there looking all indignant. Like, how dare you? You know, it's funny, if we ever have to go to court, you know, and they're going to lead off the list of offenses, probably be there for a solid week. They'll just be reading transcripts.

Did you say this? Yep, yep. Yeah, it was hilarious. Yeah, yeah. Oh, man, Victoria's Secret trims the fat. I, you know, I, okay, here, Victoria's Secret CEO, Amy Hawk, stepping down after eight months amid woke controversies. The once beloved, or once beloved, the once loved brand has a tumultuous few years with an attempted rebranding that implemented woke policies like removing the iconic angels, angels models, as well as the yearly fashion show. And if you, I think we all, our age group at least, remembers like all the beautiful women, right?

and scantily glad and lingerie and everything else. And now if you go look at like the same thing, it's not quite the same. No, it's, it's, I mean, to be fair, like the women that you're talking about that we remember, they aren't half the women who are the models nowadays. Yeah, I get what you're doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, all right, just making sure you're picking it up. All right.

Somewhere somebody's laughing on the side of the road, driving and going, that was a great one. Yeah, I mean, so, you know, we kept it light before. and now we're getting into the heavier news. But basically what happened was she showed up and she said, excuse me, Tews, did you say, now we're getting into the heavier news? Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Yes, sir. Yeah.

I'm sorry, they just, there was just a whole lot to swallow here. So, I mean, you need to feed your brain, but maybe not quite that much. So anyway, what happened was, was they got rid of all the sexy Victoria's secret models. and got ones that weren't sexy, but insisted that everybody just treat them the same way that they always were. And so now you've got larger women and less flattering outfits that you're trying to prop up as sort of the alluring thing that people should be buying, and it's not as alluring as maybe everybody thought.

They probably didn't do themselves any favors when they tried to roll out the lacy men's lingerie either. Oh, I miss that. You didn't miss much. Fair, fair. Yeah. It didn't leave much to the imagination. Wasn't there ties also with Victoria, one of the founders of Victoria's Secret and Epstein?

Yeah. So I don't know how, I don't know how tight those are, but you get the point. That's been around for a while from what I understand. And so, but anyways, this woman showed up and she said, we're going to change everything that has made this brand noteworthy. And then the shares plummeted, the stocks in freefall, and less than a year later, she's... Eight months. She's quitting to spend more time with her family, which is what everybody in politics does when they resign in disgrace. Right?

Yeah. Not dying is not illegal. This is... I'm going about to butcher this article. Like it just invaded your house? That's right. Halifax Regional Police shed more light on the incident Monday, saying that two men had attempted a home invasion only to be confronted by the occupants.

One of the alleged home invaders, Anthony Robert Herrett was stabbed. The force said both suspects were known to the police, having been charged with crimes in the past. The surviving suspect fled the house, but turned himself in later and now faces various charges, including break and enter to commit an indictable offense. that person had visited the targeted house in the past. Yeah, this is all about home invasion, self-defense, and what is what you're allowed to do without going to jail for it. And I wrote down a Manitoba man, so this was in the same article,

Manitoba man, because there was like six examples, which was actually quite unnerving. A Manitoba man was sentenced to five years in prison in 2019 after being convicted of manslaughter and the death of the person who entered his house in the middle of the night and attacked him with a night. The resident took the assailant's weapon and stabbed him 13 times. The judge said he had the right to protect himself,

but went beyond what was necessary for self-defense. It's frustrating because you think, like, okay, first off, I've never had somebody trying to stab me before. But I feel like in a life or death situation, it shouldn't be too far of a stretch to say that you've got adrenaline running, life or death moment, you're all worried, and then just get all stabby. Your wife and kids are in the house with you.

Yeah. I'm telling you, I read this article. It sent chills. I'm just like our home, like our defense laws suck. Oh, absolutely. Like, you wonder why, like, we have some serious issues in society. This one, like this article reads like a horror story. This wasn't even the first time these guys broke into that dude's house.

Yes. Like he probably said, if you guys ever come back, I'm going to stab you. and they said, okay, well, we're going to need some meth in a couple weeks, so we'll be back. And like, just this, so it's not even that there were Pete offenders. They have actually broke into that dude's house before at that address. Like, why wouldn't he feel like he needed to defend himself? Tews, you got me baffled here. I honestly don't know what to say other than like this, this was.

This was a tough article to read. This isn't by any means legal advice, but it's a hell of a lot easier to defend yourself in the court of law if you haven't died beforehand. I was trying to find the one, anyways, it doesn't matter. There was a lot of examples. If anybody wants that, just shoot me a text because I can pass along. CBC looking for a new face,

the government of Canada is hiring a new national director of political psychological operations there, calling the role of hope. Which is just the perfect name, psychological operations. They're calling the role host of CBC's power in politics. That's Keene in Bexie. Bexie, yeah. But everybody's talking about it, right?

Heck, we even got in on the fun. Because, I mean, it's, I mean, the dairy cartel, it's funny. Like, I already had it queued up. And I wasn't sure if we were going to bother talking about it or not. And then dairy cartel is like, hey, you should apply for this job. And, you know, this is exactly what we came here to talk about. So, hey, Derek Cartel. It's just, I just wanted to cover some stuff in this article.

So first off, it says that you need to have a language skill level in writing, but they forgot to write in what that level needed to be. And this is, this is what your tax dollars pay for, right? I mean, it's, they, they called whatever it was with psychological operations, whatever, this is, what they call it. And they need to have somebody who is something like fiercely apolitical, which I've never seen anybody on the CBC who's fiercely apolitical. But one of the other things is it goes into great detail about potential or perceived conflict of interest.

And it said that if you're going to get this job, you can't have anything like that. In order to be effective at this job, you'll need to be afraid of any real potential or perceived conflict. interest and then it goes into more stuff about the conflict of interest later we also advise you to look at our policy on conflicts of interest here's my conflict of interest i apply for this job i want to keep this job this job would be what would be putting food on my table at that point it would be what's putting a roof over my head my conflict of interest is that if i was honest about the job the liberals are doing that company that is now paying my salary runs a very real risk of losing something like 70% of their annual revenue.

There's your conflict of interest right there. This is what people don't realize. When taxpayer money pays for the shingles on your roof and there's some parties that don't want that to happen anymore, you're probably going to give them a harder time than the ones who want to just keep giving you more shingles or pounds. or euros. I was going to say pharmaceutical companies have been giving you shingles.

Yep, yeah, no. I'm not really sure people are advocating for that. Anyways. Eminton is just a fucking mess. No, fucking stupid. Geez, can't even read it this week.

They've developed in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League. Frontline staff now have access to Lighthouse, that's in quotes, a tool to help identify and track hate symbols. Today, ADL continues to fight all forms of anti-Semitism and bias. We stand with ADL in fighting hate for good.

This app allows the city to recognize trends related to hate and respond more effectively to protect its citizens. We must always be vigilant against hate and extremism, and Emmington's lighthouse shines the way. It doesn't. This is bullshit. This is just a stupid make-work project where some... taxpayer-funded organization teams up with a bunch of bureaucrats and union workers to just give

everybody make-work projects. So this whole thing is that when a government worker sees some hate symbol graffiti or scrawling or whatever else, they can take a picture of it, they can upload it, and then it enters into some database and then some guy in the public works department comes out and paints over it, right? You don't even have to do that. You could just call 3-1-1, whatever city you're in, and say, hey, somebody put up some graffiti on the side of this building,

and then they'll come and they'll paint over it. Or if it's somebody's house, they'll paint over it too, right? Because no matter what it says, whether it says boobs or it's a swastika, or it says, let's go Brandon. If it's just random graffiti, it's going to get painted over anyway. So the fact that they've got this entire organization who developed this tool and they're going to work in conjunction with public servants and it's going to be administered by bureaucrats to do something that's literally already happening anyway, this is exactly what I would expect from Amarjit Sohi, Mayor of Edmonton. I really got nothing to add.

Polar bears need to be called. I don't know. Every time I read it, I'm like, every time I read it, I'm like, every time I read it. read it. I just laugh. I mean, polar bearers and culled anyways. It means that they need to thin the herd a little bit. What the hell?

What the hell? I know what cold means. Anyways. It was a black... I was looking for the tweet. Catherine McKenna, a while back said or was it even a while back, this is what she tweeted. If greenhouse gas emissions remain unchecked, then

it is highly likely that will lose every polar bear population in the world before the end of the century. devastating but should motivate us for more ambitious climate action. Then our friend over at Blacklock's reporter put out, Canada has so many polar bears that are a nuisance, says federal report contradicting Catherine McKenna claims climate change threatens the species. Yeah.

Well, I mean, you think about it like the indigenous communities up there have been talking about how the polar bears have becoming more and more populace, not populist but populace in the last few years and they're just there everywhere and then you've got the green people who say oh we need to save the polar bears and then the Inuit, the Eskimos they're up there saying there's too damn many of them

and then those same greenies who are always like we need to really get in touch with our First Nations people and we need to trust every indigenous voice and we need to listen to them and we need to not belittle them and we need to respect the fact that they know what they're talking about and we don't,

unless they're talking about polar bears. It's just, it's funny because you've been hearing this for years and now it's in a federal report, boom, but do you think anybody's going to stop talking about polar bears? Do you think Greenpeace is going to stop talking about the polar bears? No. No, it's just, I feel sorry for whoever had to write that report

because it's going to make not a lick a difference. I don't know if I've ever agreed with you so much. That's saying something. If you don't see it, did it ever exist? Sean's first attempted. This is room to grow. Yeah, you know, I got, there's room to grow. Room to grow.

Anyways, internal emails show a question was added to a survey to weed out those critical of the government plans after too much negative feedback. Back in April, Canadian Heritage ran online consultations for a future national action plan on combating hate that could introduce any hate laws and curb freedom of expression. While the department publicly encouraged,

and I put in quotes, every person in Canada to participate in a survey about what this plan should include, email records show that people were screened out if they believed that an anti-hate plan wasn't needed at all. So what they did was, they put a question in. If you answer it a certain way, the first question, out the door.

It doesn't even make the final pull, the final whatever. Yep. Well, I mean, that's slightly oversimplified. They gave you a couple BS questions to answer, but all of the stuff that they were actually trying to get the report on from this survey, all that stuff, you had to answer that question a certain way. You just had to say, do you think this stuff is even necessary? and if you clicked on the answer that said,

fuck no, you guys are idiots, then you didn't get to answer the rest of the survey and they sent you off on just this BS sort of alternate route. It's fabricating the result you want. Yeah, I don't care of any which way you slice it. It's fabricating the results you want. I mean, it'd be like if I walked down the street and just started asking people,

do you think that do you think that the Tuesday mashup is the best damn podcast you've ever listened to? And there's going to be somebody who says, I've never heard of it. And I'll be like, nope, next. And then eventually, you know, you'll get to one or two people who are like, yeah, I love that thing. And then you say, who has the best headlines on it? Two's or Sean. And they're going to say twos, right?

But you've already weeded out the people on the other side of it. So the survey results become absolutely. meaningless regardless of how true they are in this case I tell you what I it's just the entire it was a long article one like yeah it was a long article it was it was a meaty one and it was very relevant like it wasn't one of those articles where you read it and you just think like you could have cut out this whole paragraph that whole paragraph like I was expecting you to read it for like two or three minutes right now when you got into it well and it would have been time well spent I guess I could have done that I just at the end of the day what they did was they

put out a thing, and then they realize really fast that Canadians don't want it. Don't want it. So just thinking on their feet, they did what they could to try and fudge the numbers to get the answer that they wanted to justify bad legislation to lead to internet censorship. And let's be clear, if they're doing this here, where else are they doing it? Australia? No, I mean, if they're doing it on the hand to hate, if they're trying to get a result. Germany. Different things here in Canada.

I'm talking about. Like, if they're doing it on this one. Like roster. What? Etonia? What the hell are you talking about? Like, are we in the same fucking rumor? Oh, my God.

You know, folks, let's get, you know, like. If, if this is the one we found out about how many other times has it happened. Thank you. Like, what are you doing? Anyways, you know, some days. Abbotsford. Yeah. Anyways, here's your final one.

Here's the happy news, okay? Man breaks into school and saves... Well, sorry, I was just... I put my hand up here real quick. It's not illegal to defend yourself one is also really happy news, but continue with this. Yeah, because, well, essentially in that one, we kind of danced around it a little bit. But in that one, they broke in, the guy killed him, and they're not pursuing... Criminal charges.

We should probably mention that on that one, because that's what happened. It was there. Yeah. Yeah, we talked about... We thought about the article without even saying what it was. Here's your happiness. Man breaks into school and saves over a dozen people during blizzard. I'm going to read off a little trunk of this here.

A man broke in his school to save over a dozen lives during the historic blizzard that barreled through New York last week. The local police department is calling him a hero. He broke in it and they kind of went around the school and, you know, didn't know what had it happened. They thought maybe the wind had taken out, and then they found this handwritten note, to whom ever it may concern, I'm terribly sorry about breaking the school window and for breaking in the kitchen. Got stuck at 8 p.m. Friday

and slept in my truck with two strangers just trying not to die. There were seven elderly people also stuck and out of fuel. I had to do it to save everyone and got them shelter, food, and a bathroom. Merry Christmas, J. And it went on to say, we watched the video, this is the cops, we watched the video surveillance

and witnessed people taking care of people. there was a freezer full of food but no one touched it they only ate what was necessary to stay alive they used the gym for the kids to play and pulled the smart boards out of the classrooms to watch the news for updates they had two dogs that were also attending it or attending to yeah but here's the other part of it though is when they went through and cleaned everything up afterwards put everything back where they got it and just left the place like just tidied up after themselves and the food and everything like that they left the place clean and just very respectfully left So, yeah, I thought that was pretty cool.

I mean... No, that's happy news, man. Yeah. I mean, if you're going to break into a place, I mean, those circumstances warrant it. Mm-hmm. And nobody stabbed them. Well, and then to just do it with such respect and everything else.

I mean, geez, you almost think those days are lost. And then you read that, you're like, nah, it's still out there. It's still out there. Yep. Hey, folks, mashup 37, too. What do you figure? What do I figure about what? I don't know.

I thought this is pretty good. It's just, it's nice to be in here. I see that you've got some oilers stuff that seems to be new. I feel like that would make a great fire starter, but on the plus side, you got Theo right next to it, and that is a deadly picture. This is, obviously Tuesday hasn't been in the studio. This shows how much we've been in the studio, me and you.

You think about 37 weeks. Mm-hmm. This might be the first one we've ever recorded in here. I think we did one or two. You sure about that? We definitely did one. We've done one or two at the house. No, we definitely, that one where we did it like first thing in the morning before I had to go to one.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, we did one early morning. That's right. Yeah. Anyways, our meandrings at the end of a podcast. It is. Appreciate you guys all tuning in. Look forward to next week and mashup 38, which will come flying at you, hot.

and have you know worries. And the SNP Presents. Yeah. Do you go with SNP Presents or SNP presents? It's kind of like PIN number, personal identification number number, but it's Sean Newman podcast presents. So I, I've never. S&P Presents.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. SMP presents the urban rural divide and for people who don't follow my on social media or maybe don't listen to every podcast. The idea. Well, no, I will. But the idea for it stems from a conversation I had with Mike Kuzmiskis, the I-Corps guy, in the middle of COVID.

We got talking about how we fix problems in the oil field and different things where you bring in different backgrounds. You put up a whiteboard. You say, what's the problem? You throw it up there and you have different minds, take a look at it. You fudge around with it. And then you go out and see if it works. And you come back in. Anyways, I'm like, why aren't we doing that?

And so that's how the first S&P presents started back in March. That had Daniel Smith part of it before she ever ran. And so this is the same thing. you got Quick Dick, you got Vance Crow, you got Steve Barber, three mines that are pretty sharp. And it should be interesting. And the idea is, obviously, everybody can see it. I mean, anytime there's a vote, if you go literally politics, just look at the states. The cities are all blue, the countryside all red.

In Canada and Alberta, let's go narrow. Like, we all know Emmington's going to be NDP. And we all know the countryside, for the most part, is going to be blue, if not all, just a tight way of blue. I think it's pretty much a tidal wave of a blue at this point. And so we all come back and we go, so what's the deal? And I'm curious to see what comes out of it. I have no if any great ideas come out of it, but that's the idea behind it. There's a white board round table discussion with different people up on stage.

It should be a fun night. Are people going to be asking questions in the audience? So the way that works is it's a live poll. Okay, that way. That same one that we did. Yes, except I've bought the official versions so I don't have any. he screw ups this time and essentially you're saying that now but I mean look what you did with the I know I know I know match up last week okay fair what he's talking about is I think we've all been to

a live mic you know where somebody gets it and they talk for 15 minutes and derails everything you just like I appreciate the question but I need you to stand point this is all built off your phone so you can use the poll to vote questions up for questions down ask your own questions. It comes to me on stage on a computer, and we lead the discussion that way. Anyways, if it works, super slick. When you mess things up, it messes up horrifically. And yeah, I mean, whatever. Yeah. And if you do come there, bring all of the extra phones you have because I'm going to borrow them so that we can ask all my questions.

You can just ask 50 questions off of your phone, dumbass. Yeah, but I need to upvote them all. Oh, yeah. Okay. Anyways, twos will be there doing what twos? does. What are you going to do for mail-in ballots? We don't take mail-on ballots, so... That's racist. But in fairness, if you're on social media, I'm going to post the link the week before. That way people can ask questions if they're abroad.

And then it's looking... Just kind of preload the votes. Sure. That's right. Yeah. Find out how many votes we need to get where we want to go. Yeah. We're going to get a whole duffel bag. Looks like we need ten.

A whole duffel bag of followers going to be voting for my questions. Have a great. Great week, too. I'm going to get 81 million votes.
