What do you figure twos? Mashup 46, big fella. I figure you should have not cut me out of the damn song because I wanted to rant about airports. I bet you did. And sadly, I'm not sad. You know, as the banner said, should be led twos around the song.

Didn't think so. Hey, man, mashup 46, new week, new sponsor. This is kind of interesting, you know. That's very interesting. How about Vern and Barb Luther? Riskin Hope Farm. So Ruffrider fans will know all about this from what I'm told. They gauge this as the halfway point home from Regina to Saskatoon on Highway 11.

So isn't that? They're barn. Yeah. They're barn and crake. So, I mean, it's a great location. It's pretty darn central as far as Saskatchewan goes. And you can see it from a ways off because it's Saskatchewan. And I would say most of us have traveled that highway a few different times in

Rough Rider fans certainly probably know exactly what they're talking about. They've got a bull sale coming up. Sunday, March 26th, they have yearling bulls, which will be sold on that day. And you can either do it in person or bid online through DLMS. I hope I said that right, all the stuff will be in the show notes. So the phone number to get a hold of Vern, if you need more information, of course, right there. The website, all that good stuff will toss in the show notes. Here's the other wild thing, you know, strange la-la land.

Did you see what RM they're in? They're in RM 2-2-2. I fucking kid you not, folks. RM 2-2-2. Like, there is such a place. I'm surprised they haven't got like twos here. Why did they not mention this before? Or maybe the mayor.

I am not a member. Whatever it is. RM 2-2-2. I've got some issues with Hanley that go back a long ways. That's just wild to me. They sent us this email. And they're like, oh, yeah, we got this. this local business

2-2-2-Metalworks. I'm like, what? Is this a joke? Like, are they joking? And why have they never mentioned it? Exactly. Well, and 2-2-2 Metalworks is working with them to build a fire pit that's custom. It's going to have 22-2 Metalworks plus

plus 3-4H logo, plus their farm. And then the buyer gets to put their last name on that anyways. All the proceeds go to 4-H club in handling. Yes. You're spitting up. Oh, man. And then, of course, I disappear.

My audio. Your audio was good right until you did that. Okay, so folks, so Sean's gone. We can't hear them. So I'm just going to do the show myself for a while. I thought this was just a wonderful, heartwarming email where just they said that they don't really know if there's a lot of people who would be interested in the bull sale per se.

that listen to the show, but there's a lot of people that eat beef and they really appreciate it and they want to encourage people to buy local and support their stuff. And they thought that what we're doing really resonates with them, which I think is very cool. I like the fact that the kind of people that I really admire are tuning in every week to listen to our take on what's happening in Canada and the world. Yeah, that's pretty sweet. And I, um, I, I don't know. You've said it all. For anyone who's interested,

all you beef people, all you bowl, you know, salesman people, cattle folk looking for such things. Show notes has all the information. But yeah, super cool.

This is what's cool about opening it up to just not one company. Yeah. To anybody who's interested, basically. We've had a little interesting go, haven't we? Yeah.

Oh, it's, I love it. Anytime you can get twos to spit, on the ground when a town is mentioned. I'm curious. Here I thought he'd be wagging himself all over the place because there's a place called RM

2-222. Anyways, that's what I thought. It's Hanley, man. I guess so. What do you think, Hanley? Little Tuesday mashup at Hanley, Saskatchewan just to see twos squirm? I like

this. I like this. Yeah, honestly, I'd rather drink Lorburn water, but sure. Yeah, I, um, I, you know, it's just that classic Saskatchewan thing of, of rivalries between different towns and whatever else. And then when you actually get down to the nitty gritty of it, everybody's the same. They've got the coffee shop. They've got the post office. They've got the Chinese food restaurant. I was going to say, we got the one Chinese food restaurant.

Yeah. And everywhere claims they have the best drink burger. That's just me. Anyways, we'll get it. We'll get it. They're all lying except for one. For where? For where? Two's. Two's where? Oh, you can't say? No.

Is it Hanley, Saskatchewan? It is not. You ever had a ringburger in Hanley. I think I've curled that. I don't think I've ever had a rink burger. So, well, cool. Once again, in the show notes, that's, that's Byrne and Barb Luther, Riskin, Hope Farm.

So cool, mashup 46. And don't forget. don't forget not only just the beef sale but, or pardon me, the bull sale, but also the fundraiser with the fire pit that you can customize if you end up being the high bidder. Correct, correct. And it's all going to a 4H

club, which is super cool. And it's going to say 2-2 on it. So what more do you want? Here's my final plug for the SMP presents on the Tuesday mashup. Then Tuesday can stop harassing me about stealing airtime, but... Oh my. You're supposed to call me.

Tuesday, SMP presents legacy media happens this Saturday in Eminton and Tuesday is going to be there. I know nobody wants to go see him, but he will be in attendance. He will be in the audience. On stage, it'll be Kid Carson,

Wayne Peters, Chris Sims, Byron Christopher. You can buy that, that's in, if you're listening on the podcast, that's in the show notes as well. Otherwise, just go to my social media. You can find the links there. It should be a fun night.

Confirmed. Oh, go ahead. Sorry. Well, I was going to say, you know, I was thinking about all the different names, you know, like Sheila Gunnree comes to mind. I've mentioned on here, Tamara Leach is going to be in the audience, you know, Andy Lee, Nadine Ness, Marty Up North, you know, great, late in gray. Late and Gray, I heard going to be, you know, roaming around as well. And Mr. Shane Getson, who's been on the podcast several times, MLA from out that way. So it should be an interesting night.

If you haven't bought tickets, certainly would love to see some folks there. And I think it's going to be a fun night. Absolutely. And if you're listening to this on my 22 cents and you haven't listened to Byron Christopher's recent interview with Sean, it's a must listen. Hands down. He is a wild man. Like just crazy stories.

Yeah. Yeah. For a 74 year old. He really opened up the second time around. Yeah. Yeah. Super cool guy. It kind of feels almost like a kindred spirit, if you would, except obviously he's,

what, 40 years older than me, roughly? You're a interesting man. Maybe 30, but yeah. Oh, twos is firing tonight. I'm excited. Okay, let's get on to mashup 46, shall we? As we did last week, I'm just hitting the timer. We're going to see how much we go over.

It's supposed to be, I think, 28 minutes. We never seem to hit that, but we'll see what we can do this week, folks. Oh, and by the listeners, account last week, 222B. Nobody was like the buzzer sucks minus one person.

Everybody said, you know, the buzzer, the buzzer was, they kind of don't mind it. Yeah. You don't, you don't appreciate

what you got till it's gone, hey? I guess so. I guess so. I was surprised. I think we, we realized just as we were about to air that there's still a couple

sound effects that we're unable to try this week. So we're going to keep doing this for at least one more week. I hear you. I kind of like that. I feel like it's time to get going. The scale. All right. Let's fire up the timer.

Bing, it's going. Here we go. Liberals are back in black. The Canadian government is committing $10 million in federal funding to help 200 black families in the greater Toronto area purchase their first home. Ahmed Hussein, the Minister of Housing, Diversity and Inclusion, made the announcement during a news conference Friday morning saying the funding will be given into the Black North Homeownership Bridge Program and partnership with Habitat for Humanity, GTA. He was quoted as saying there's no part of our society where black Canadians don't face systemic barriers,

including when it comes to having a safe and affordable place to call home. He told reporters on Friday, he also said consistently we see black Canadians with higher housing needs and with lower home ownership numbers far significantly lower than the average population. And we recognize that there's systemic issue here that we need to address. I thought of something just as you were saying this. I wonder what the polling numbers are in the specific writing that this is going to happen in. Because they're handpicking 200 families to give $50,000 each to. This is just, it's it's some kind of like a powerball lottery thing, but you got to be black to win it.

And this is the same government. This is the same cabinet within or the same minister. in the same cabinet, in the same portfolio, who literally at the end of January refused funding for the Confederate Railroad Church, for not being black enough. Correct. So you got to ask yourself, have they actually figured their shit out? They're liberals, so probably not.

Or how incredibly black do you have to be to qualify for this? And how do they quantify it? I was just going to say, you know, from an Alberta perspective, taking all the race and everything out of it. If you can't afford a home and you're struggling, every business in this area is hiring right now. So if you're listening out in Toronto, just come this way. Just make it simple. If you're a good worker, it don't matter. Come this way.

And, you know, people put you to work and you'll be able to afford a home pretty darn quick. I mean, like, that's my thoughts. I read this article. I'm like, and I know we're tying it into the, the church, right? It was a church, right? Yeah. And you're just like, this is. The church of the Underground Railroad.

Right. I think I said the federal railroad. We read this article like obviously a month, probably like five, six mashups ago, right? That's pretty much what it was. And we're like, this is wild. And then you see this. Anyways, $50,000 going to 200 different families. Yeah.

I mean, what can you say? Like at this point, what can you say? I hope somebody identifies as black and then wins it. That would just be peak liberal insanity. I really hope it happens. Oh, there's the classic buzzer. I know there was going to be somebody cursing that name, but it's nice to hear you back there, old friend.

Climate activists continue perfect prediction track record. We got to show the, we got to show the Greta Thumbar. Yeah, I'm here. Give me a second. We'll pull it up. Okay, well, I'll give you a few seconds. And while we're talking, while we're waiting for it, here we go. Yeah, yeah, I'm, I, you should start pulling it up before you start talking about

really, really. I should, I should run six different things, all, you know. It's all about time managed, but dude, this is why we're always over. Yeah, sure, it's all Sean's fault, folks. For some reason, Greta just deleted this. We were just getting to the really good part. And if you scroll down, you can see it, it's a tweet from five years ago. and what she said was a top climate scientist is warning that the climate change will wipe out of all of humanity

unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years. That was from exactly, well, essentially five years ago. It was from June 21st, 2018. So, I mean, there's still a couple weeks to go. But, Sean, are you part of humanity? Have you guys been wiped out? Oh, man. Did I miss the memo?

Scotch tastes pretty good on this side, Bigfellow. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, it's like, I don't really know what we can possibly say other than this is the same shit that keeps happening. Like, why do you think, why do you think an inconvenient truth, the movie that won Al Gore and Oscar and made him a shit ton of money? Why do you think it's not on Netflix or anywhere, right? It's because all of his predictions, which were very generously hyperbolic, have, have all failed to come to fruition. Right. The sky is falling.

This is just the classic, fake messianic bullshit where they predict the doomsday. And then it doesn't happen. And then they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, I just, I was on daylight savings time. So, yeah, that's why it's off by a little bit. And then they just adjust it and adjust it and move the goalposts. Speaking of daylight savings time, if you're feeling groggy over the next couple days, you could thank your government for being a big, bureaucratic piece of shit and giving us unnecessary complications in our lives.

I thought, you know, to me, when we talk climate change. Climate activists, that's the perfect sound effect. There's a little bit of money rolling through there. Government pipeline ruptures its budget. Here you go. Hold on your hats, folks. Okay, this one, this one's going to hurt your brain a little bit. At least it hurt mine.

They expected price tag of the trans mountain pipeline, expect. has increased once again, now projected to hit almost 31 billion. And you're going to... Who could have predicted this? Nobody could have predicted this. This was, you know, anyways, there's no way to predict such a thing. The latest estimate of $30.9 billion released by Trans Mountain Corp on Friday is an increase of more than 300% from the initial 7.4 billion that former owner Kinder Morgan, Canada,

laid out in 2017. Now close to 80% complete. The pipeline is expected to come into service in the first quarter of. 24 and article went on to say the existing trans mountain pipeline carries 300,000 barrels of oil a day and it is Canada's only pipeline system transporting oil from Alberta to the west coast. It was bought by the federal government in 2018 for $4.5 billion and the expansion will raise output by, you know, quite a surmount or big sum, 890,000 barrels. Anyways, that's just the specs.

We're going from $7.4 billion to $30.9. Yeah. So here's the thing is people do lots of what they're good at, right? Companies like Kinner Morgan are good at making pipelines and managing them. You mean the government isn't good at doing a pipeline? No, no, no. The government is very good at one key thing here. They're good at making things take longer and cost more because the longer they take and the more they cost, the more money, the individual people involved get paid. you have this reverse incentive to do as shitty of a job as possible because if you're just

signed on until the project's done well what if we just took an extra couple of years to do the project well wouldn't that wouldn't that work out for you financially as a person like governments create more bureaucracy they create more expense and then when you put them in charge of a capital project like this they're going to do the exact same thing because it's what they know how to do. None of this is the least bit surprising. Myself and so many other people have been saying this is going to be the case forever. I talked to my father today.

We're sitting having coffee. And I'm just like, you know, got the Tuesday mashup tonight. I'm going to hear about how the government just continues to blow money. Like, you know, it just, it hurts your head. And it continues to happen. You just see it over and over and over and over again. And it's just this wild. wild filthy beast that just consumes and consumes and wastes and doesn't get anything done

leaves a mess in their wake and then blames all of us yeah we're the ones fun of the damn thing they shut it down for months this summer because they found hummingbirds in in the way and here's one of the other really interesting things that it's it's not really the focal point of this but they apparently found more than 83,000 first nation's artifacts while they're were twining this pipeline. Okay. So the original pipeline is already there. It got dug up.

They put a pipeline in. They poured a bunch of dirt over top of it. It goes back to nature. They come back 50 years later. And the same ground that they put in there 50 years ago now has 83,000 Indian artifacts on it. That seems to don't ask question to. And the other thing is, okay, just bear with me for one more second. second here. If you found 83,000 anything artifacts in one dig, that would be global news,

not global news like our shitty fucking partisan bullshit. It would be news across the entire planet. Oh, if we found 83,000 hieroglyphs or 83,000 as tech human sacrifice knives or whatever else, like that would be monumental. That would be one of the largest Archaeological discoveries Pretty much ever So yeah

And apparently they found it in a place That they had just dug up and put the dirt back in 50 years ago I feel like there's a bit of a grasp there Oh man The NDP are not A serious party They aren't shit on you, Beau Shit on you, booze

Shit on who? Shit hawks Bid Dirty shit hogs. Okay, called an audible. I like it. I was telling you. You know, everybody comes with,

everybody comes with what we should do for NDP is not a serious party. Anyways, we're having a little fun with the trailer park boys. Another Canadian, you know, thing. Icon, that's right. Yep.

Anyways, the shithawks. While you struggle to pay your food, this is Yagmeet Singh, while you struggle to pay your food, gas, housing, to rack up their profits, a 50% pay raise for Shell's CEO while workers in the country struggle to pay the bills. No, workers in this country struggle to pay the bills. Sorry, in this country, struggled to pay the bills. It's not fair.

Okay, real quick, a little bit of perspective here, which seems to be missing from this tweet. I don't know why. First off, Shell is a Dutch and English company with headquarters in London. they're traded on the London stock market. They aren't Canada. Secondly, it fails to mention that the CEO took a 50% pay cut in 2019 and a 50% pay cut again in 2020. Okay. So let's say you have $1 and then it gets cut in half and then it gets cut in half again and then it doubles. How much money do you have?

I don't know. Tews, you seem to be the mathematician. Can you lead me through it? Because I, you know, I've been listening to so much. 37. I've been, I've been listening to so much government bullshit. My brain doesn't function anymore.

Okay. When something gets halved and then doubled, it doesn't go back to the original amount. It's still only 75%. So half of it, 50 cents. Half of it again, 25 cents. Now you multiply that by 50, well, 150%.

And now you're at 37.5 cents. What do you think is supporting the NDP party? Like, do you think they just, Like, how are you voting for this guy? Honestly, you've never sat down and looked at, you've never asked yourself, is what I'm being told, factual, does it make sense? Does this actually, are there any holes in it? Like, how I personally got interested in politics was because I've got a good buddy

of mine from high school. His wife has some family connections to the Saskatchewan NDP. party and so, you know, talking to her and everything she was saying, I was like, well, that doesn't sound quite right. Well, that doesn't. And I don't know anything about it, but you're like, eh, I don't know. Like something isn't right here, but I have no idea what it is. And then just a little bit of curiosity.

And I'm like, oh, this is all bullshit. Like, just straight bullshit. You know, it's kind of wild to think that the NDP won in Alberta. Now, I know that was a big FU to, uh, conservative. It was an absolute F you to the establishment bullshit. That's right. That's right. Calling an election early to capitalize on the Wild Rose turmoil and then telling everybody to look in the mirror.

Yeah. And then you realize the NDP also, you know, was a leader of Saskatchewan for as long as they were. And you're like, just how? Just how? It makes perfect sense that Alberta picked the NDP to be in charge in 2015. because here's the thing is a lot of really proud people, a lot of people who don't like being taken advantage of, a lot of people who would rather die on their feet than live on their knees.

And so you look at it and you've got this establishment party that just doesn't give a fuck. Alison Redford, Thomas Lukasek, like these actual liberals who just wouldn't have a place in politics if it wasn't for the fact that they joined the winning party. and they're just like, we're going to do whatever the hell we want, and you guys are going to suck it up, because what are you going to do, vote for the socialists? And then eventually it got to the point where I was like, you know what, fuck you.

I know this is a bad idea, but it's going to hurt you more than it hurts me. So buckle up, buckle. Oh, we should just end it there. That right there made my week. That probably is on a lot of shirts, but rather live on, die on my feet than live on my knees. Yeah, I like that.

I like that, too. Getting off your ass can help pull your head out of it. Here's, here is probably the funniest most head scratching article we have all week, in my opinion. It has nothing to. I'm telling you, man, I started reading this. I couldn't even finish it. This is the only article I did not finish. Okay, I'm going to read you what I got to.

Oh my God. Here we go. Sean didn't read it again. Let me tell you, folks. Suggesting someone struggling with depression or anxiety should start, Exercise more usually comes up across as patronizing. But a new study in the powerful impact of exercise can have on our mental health suggests exercise should generally be considered as the first option for treating depression and anxiety. You fucking think so?

Yeah. You think exercise helps a person. Geez, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, earth-breaking stuff. Like I had no flipping idea. Anybody who does this kind of thing on even somewhat of a regular basis will jump at the chance to tell you that if you're dealing with any kind of shit up here, you get this stuff right and it goes a long way. It's not saying that it's a magic cure all. And obviously the headline is us having a bit of fun. Well, it's not a cure all, but it's a definitely huge help.

researchers say the fact that exercise has measurably positive of impact across so many studies supports the idea that it should be considered seriously as a therapeutic intervention prescribed to patients. We should have been having this conversation three years ago, I think. Well, I mean, they literally shut down all the bloody gyms, twos. Like, everything that gave some mental health. But you see it? Anyways, this just pisses me off to no end. Get your bills.

Eat some pills in your bugs. US politician. Now, here we go from Sean being like, absolutely this is, this is tough to read. Like, I can't even believe this is in a newsplay. Anyways,

like, just stick it on this for a second. That right there exercise has been in every magazine I have read for like my entire life. That's what men's health is literally built upon. I'm pretty sure Maxim doesn't talk about it every month, Sean. Yeah,

well, All right. Actually, it probably does twos. I bet you it does. I bet if we looked, it probably talks about it. I've got a giant stack of them from like 10 years ago. How many maxims did you read cover to cover twos? Hundreds probably. I got like pretty much every month for, I don't know, I'd say it at least.

Who's your favorite Maxim? Rebecca Remain Stamos. Rebecca Remain Stamos. Okay. Yeah, it was like the first or second issue, like 19. 1998, 99. You're just like, yeah. It was right when X-Men was about to come out.

Remember that movie? Maxim. I'm trying to find it for you. No, we're going to pull it up on the show. Oh, why not? Why not? Sure. Okay.

In the meantime, however, we could keep moving along while you look for that, or we could just get here awkwardly waiting. Maybe we need a sound of that. I was kind of curious. This is Toos's favorite Maxim. folks. There you go. No, no, that's, well, yes, technically, but that's from something like 2008 or nine. Oh my God. There's an issue from 1999, 99, 98. Okay. Where, where she was also on the cover that, that, that I was thinking of specifically. But I remember that, I remember that

you're talking X-Men days. And you might even have said that. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. 1998. 1990, 1990. We'll see what comes up. All right. This is why we go over time. You know what, though? You got my curiosity piqued. And so I'm going to see if I can't find it for the listener because I know they care. I know they're sitting there going, Sean and Tews talking about Rebecca Romaine Stamos on, oh, no, where did it go? Oh, there it is. Okay, here, here, here.

Now the listener's going to be like, that's the one you're talking about. Yes? That's not even the one I was talking about either. That's from about 2004. Geez, she really graced the cover a lot, eh? All right. He's very graceful. I, let's just leave it, move along.

You know what's going to happen to? You realize how many people are going to text me the cover of Maxim tomorrow? Anyways. I don't see that as being a bad thing for anybody. Okay, fair, fair. All right, all right, okay. Sean will get this thing back on track. We're going to go to the U.S. politician deals with a pile of bullshit.

It's a video of a snowplow operator dealing with a U.S. politician losing his absolute and uncontrollable shit. Just going absolutely right uncorked on this dude. It is insane. It's the kind of thing where I don't even know. If you caught one of us on our absolute worst days where we're maybe like five seconds away from a literal mental breakdown, maybe that's how we would react.

But part of me gets it because at this point in the winter, I am so sick of shoveling snowman. I completely understand. I feel like it's misdirected, putting it at the snow plow driver. Snowplow guys driving. I, yeah,

could you plow the snow over here? Could you plow the snow over here? Could you plow the snow over here? And he's just running around, jumping in and out of snowbags, yelling at the top of his lungs. It's a wonderful thing to check out. We should actually just put a link to it in a show notes as well.

I tell you what, in the show notes, if you listen to the podcast, I'll put the link in that way. You can go and have yourself a chuckle. I would pull it up on here, but it's a... I'm pretty much just as done with winner as that guy is. Oh, goodness. That's, yeah, anyways.

That's great. That's great. Okay. A laughter in there. That's great. There's no vacation from Justice. This is, I don't know. This is like we're in the comedy section of this show now, I guess.

There's a lot of bizarre shit that happened this week, Sean. Russell Brown, a justice of Canada's Supreme Court, is on indefinite paid leave following an altercation that occurred while he was on vacation after he alleged to have been drunkenly attempted to follow hotel guests back to their rooms, according to a police report reviewed by an insider. On January 28, Brown was a speaker at a gala and celebrating a former colleague's seat of Sandra Day O'Connor Justice Prize from Arizona State University, following the celebrations. the reportedly inebriated judge approached a group in a hotel lounge and sat with him. He said the male, the guy who alleged all these things on him, said he was, he said the male was creepy, Mrs. Crump,

said the male was touching his female companions and kissing them on the hand, according to a police report, which included statements from witnesses who told police they'd asked Brown to stop his behavior. Crump said they all began to walk back to their hotel rooms. The drunk male said he was going with them and followed them. The police report continued to protect. the women and to prevent the drunk, creepy, unwanted male from entering the hotel room, uninvited. Crump punched him, punched the male a few times. And here's what Brown said

on the flip side. He said, Brown's statement indicated that he had left the lounge at the same time as the group he was accompanying. And Mr. Crump, suddenly without warning or provocation, provocation, punched the justice several times in the head, adding that he did not defend himself and that the incident caused him embarrassment and created complications for the court. and he's hopeful the council will resolve this matter expeditiously. Well, if he got punched completely undeservedly, why didn't he press charges? When the police came the next day to take his statement at his hotel room, why did he refuse to answer the door?

They're like, hello, Mr. Judge Guy on vacation, super important dude, who was trying to read parts of his speech to these girls. He was trying to bang in the hotel bar. Yeah, hey, it's us the police. We understand that you got punched for no reason and we would like to get a statement from you. Could you just said, listen, guys, I got really drunk and I just don't really remember and just like fessed up to it? Could he have done that or is in his position he can't do that?

Well, he's on indefinite paid leave. So I don't think it really fucking matters because he's just making bank for doing even less work than a public servant does already. But what's wrong with one of these guys? guys just saying like, I am not the first person to make a stupid decision while I was hammered. And I really can't defend it. I'm not going to get into it. But we've all been there at least to some extent. And I'm not going to be taking any further questions.

But are you going to finish that Pena Klaude over there? I hope they don't shit on you, Beau. Shit on who? Shit hawks. Bit dirty shit hugs. Dirty judge. I don't know. 61 million in drug charges go up in smoke.

A sprawling six-month police investigation would span the continent, drew on an international police agency. Bring up the picture while you're talking about it. Oh, God. Now you're going to, give me a sec here. Two's, you know, it's funny. He literally goes, you know, I'm the guy, slow on this whole thing.

up, right? But I ask him at the start, I'm going to bring these all up. Does he say, oh, bring the picture up at the start? No. So what does Sean got to do? He's got to scroll back. That's fair. I've said that I was going to work on it and I totally haven't. Okay. So, a sprawling six-month investigation which spanned the continent, drew on

international police agencies, and netted a staggering. Is that how I sound? Fifty-one million illegal drugs. Oh, this is hurting my brain. came undone suddenly as one by one, ten alleged players nabbed in Toronto's largest international drug take it down were unceremoniously released. All the accused are free to go. Ontario court judge Russell Silverstein.

I think I'm going to say this wrong. It's Silverstein. Silverstein, sorry if you're listening to this, I got it wrong, told the court during a brief proceeding inside Old City Hall Monday morning. Now, let me fucking tell you, all the fucking cops are fucking corrupt. And I mean, just fucking hell. I mean, fuck me.

And yeah, like, this is the way it is. And cops are just the worst. And, you know, somehow the liberals are tied up in this. And the MVP isn't a real party. Is that how this sounds? I feel like that's pretty much, are we doing this right? Don't worry about a two's, I mean, on the other side, though. He doesn't really have much to say.

He wears that stupid white ball cap and, you know, he just comes on here and smiles and nods and doesn't really do any work. I need a minute. Okay. There's your bloody picture, all right? There's his bloody picture. Oh, my God. I can't believe it took you that long to put up a fucking picture.

Okay. So, basically the crown dropped all charges without saying why. And there is literal tables full of cocaine. piled up in this picture. There's $61 million worth of drugs in this picture, supposedly. And they caught the people doing it. They caught it with a trucking scheme where they're custom building trucks with secret compartments in them.

And when it all got busted, they charged everybody, put them in jail. And then after a whole bunch of time figured out that, oh, you know what, we're just going to release them and not explain to the public why. They just say, you have to trust us. us. Yeah, correct. So what do you think it is? You think it's police screwed up or do you think it's they got way too much money and

they bought some people off? Like, what do you think when you, when you throw it around? Honestly, it's just speculation. I think that the chances of them getting confessions out of these people, you know, getting a roll over for people higher up the food chain is probably unlikely because I feel like the people hire up the food chain would be in different countries. that this stuff, you know, like Mexico, Columbia, whatever, right? So it probably wouldn't do them a whole lot of good to let all these guys go

to bust somebody in Canada for something that they're never going to visit Canada anyway. So it's just completely extraneous. I'm wondering if maybe possibly it was the same kind of thing like what happened last week where that guy got off on the manslaughter charge because the cop didn't sign the form. Yeah, I hope it isn't that. Like, you just hope it isn't like something like really simple where they just didn't dot an eye or cross a T. I guess like it's bad either way because if it's, if it's police corruption, it's bad. If it's a simple like clerical error, it's like, I don't know.

That's just as painful. But yeah, I mean, that's the other thing is, is it just somebody really powerful who said, we need this to go away? And they said, well, it's $61 million worth of cocaine. Do you have any idea how many plastic straws it's going to take to make that go away? Oh, yeah. Okay. Let's see if we can get this show.

You know, 46. What a ride this has been. I bet you Vernon Barb weren't expecting this debauchery on here this week. They're like, we sponsored this. Governor General cries into her beef Wellington. Governor General Mary Simon says she, hopes to start a conversation on abuse and online bullying, building on her own experiences with the issues since taking office.

In an interview with CBC News Networks, Power and Politics airing on Friday, Simon, funny, neither one of us got hired for that job. Anyways, Simon reflected on a recent decision to close online comments on her social media channels and release a video highlighting racist, misogynistic, and abusive insults she's received online. When something happens to me personally, I try and use it as an opportunity to create a discussion about those issues. She told David Cochran.

So one of the things I found interesting was that the whole time in this entire article, there was never any pushback on it because, yeah, like I went and looked at the Instagram post and there is a little bit of racism thrown in there. And then a lot of it was just generic, you suck at your job type things, where people not defending them, but getting a little bit over animated. But there has been a lot of legitimate criticism of this new Governor General and just the Governor General position in general, really. But I mean, we've talked about it. This whole Beef Wellington on a flight to India that costs, what was it, like a few million dollars or whatever it was?

Like literally two's people are struggling right now. Yeah. And you have a not a fictitious because it's obviously a position in Parliament, but it's kind of like, does it need to be there? It's an absolutely frivolous position. Thank you. That's what I'm looking for. And so, um, and it just runs up. It just treats Canada like an ATM.

And when this woman, like she gets a lot of very valid criticisms and those are never addressed. And like I get the fact that there's a few idiots out there who say the wrong things, but there has been a lot of very concrete criticisms to her position and the way she has been operating in that position and the absolute disregard for the state Canadians are in and the fact that it's their money paying for her to do this. And then to just brush it all off as racism and doesn't get a single ounce of pushback from power and politics. Well, you know what?

The power and power and politics comes from the liberal government. And that's why the CBC fucking exists. Yeah, it's interesting. Anytime anyone in a position like that gets criticized, it always comes back. back to racism, misogyny, all these different things. And you're just like, don't get to go more our way out of it.

Don't get me wrong. Are there some dummies out there who's saying some pretty stupid things? Absolutely. They're everywhere. They attack pretty much everyone. But there is a lot. Anytime, you know,

you're rolling around kind of flamboyantly, because we've addressed these articles over the course of 46 mashups. And you don't realize that. That's, you know, kind of sad. because that's what the people are upset about. People are struggling.

And you're still finding ways to piss money away. That isn't just heard. That is the entire liberal government. That is every government right now in my eyes. I don't have a lot of time for many of them. And if any of them, for that matter. And it just continues to be this, you know, we're going to turn comments off because that's going to make it stop.

You know, like that's going to turn the heat off, you know? Like, come on. Anyways. Sound effect? You got a sound effect? Thinking about it. Oop. Okay, yeah, that looks way better. You know, maybe when you're impersonating me, you could do all the sound of, oh, wait, you don't have access to that.

So how about you suck on it, twos, okay? How about you suck on it? Alberta NDP want free everything for everyone except their critics. Using a line called from every mafia movie, the Alberta NDP said it's nothing personal before it cut off electronic communications with the Western Standard for writing hip pieces, despite the fact the Western Standard is an accredited member of the press gallery. Benjamin Aldrich from the official opposition caucus said the Western Standard, which he claims is not a news source. Man, have we heard different government people say that before about different anyways?

Yep. Put his people at risk when writing about the NDP. I take the safety of my people very seriously, and your employer is compromising that. He said via text after the Western Standard contacted him to apologize for its part in a heated hallway discussion where a Western Standard reporter and Aldrit went toe to toe. According to Aldrich, Western Standard hit piece stories caused the Alberta NDP to receive death threats via email and the Western Standard employee asked him to produce the emails, but then entered into a, you know, anyways. Yeah. So it went a little bit sideways. It sounds like maybe the Western Standard guy involved,

the fact that he wasn't even named implies that maybe he got a little bit heated. at the moment. But at the same time, you can't just, if you're a government entity and you're trying to win an election or stay relevant or whatever the idiot NDP are doing nowadays,

you can't just turn people away. Because here's the thing. Yes, they're kind of hit pieces, but that's because they're fairly inaccurately reporting on how much the NDP are fucking retards. I don't think we're getting accredited anytime soon too

So that's just me If you love them Let them go Here again Man this is An accord You're like Oh yeah

You thought that the The working out article Was the most bizarre thing we had No no no That's that's not the You got the wrong one We haven't even got to that shit show yet We're looking at the Hamilton

police inmate is silent Oh yeah, sorry. Hamilton police say they are seeking an inmate who was mistakenly released from the Barton Street jail last week.

Spokesperson Constable in the barhand told global news in an email that Sean Delaney 45 was improperly released from a Hamilton, Wentworth, detention center Friday, March 3rd. It has not served the full sentence connected with his incarceration.

Okay, so they accidentally let him out. I'm not sure if they let the wrong guy go or they screwed up how long he'd been there for. Maybe it's daylight savings time again. But they accidentally let this guy out when he was still serving time. And then now he's eluding police officers and whatever else. Well, of course he is. Look at those fucking ears. He hears he coming a mile away.

Right. But I don't know. Like on the one hand, you think, okay, criminals need to be. walked up and that's fair. On the other hand, if a judge says, you're in here till we let you out and then they accidentally let you out early, you'd be like, look, technically I did serve my time and you let me out. So I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want now and you guys can eat a dick. So I can appreciate the fact that he's not being overly cooperative with their efforts to fix their mistake. I'm actually trying to figure out what I would do in that situation, right? Like you get let out. It's like,

There's no way you're taking me back. You just let me out. You told me I'm good to go. I'd get to Belize. I'd get on a boat and I'd just sail down to Belize where they don't have extradition and also no taxes. Oh, man. That's it perfectly timed.

Okay, here we go. How about another one? Manhunt on for Perp who allegedly forced people to watch Ed Shearin impression. Of course, I brought it up and then I had the wrong one. Here we go. Let's try this again. This is the one. This guy who is 22 or 23 years old,

he doesn't look a day over 60. Says Winnipeg police are asking for public assistance and locating 23 old Gren, Ball Shatler of Winkler, Manitoba. Police confirm he is currently residing somewhere in the north end of the city. Gren has convinced three churches that he is Ed Sheeran and even went as far as performing the shape of you in front of a Calvary Temple on Sunday. when detective asked the pastor why he believed the real Ed Shearren would perform for $25 in a sandwich. He said that he assumed the celebrity had fallen on tough times.

I would say if that actually was Ed Shearer, Jesus Christ, and that guy's 23. Oh, man. I get the fact that you're really starting up behind the eight ball when your last name is Ball Sacton. But, I mean, that's pretty rough. He looks like a leprechaun and a wizard had an inbred baby. I mean, it's funny. I just, I listen to it, and I'm like, you know, this has been a random week. I mean, all weeks are random, but we normally were banging on the government for how much money they've spent.

Which is more than this takes us, Sean? I know. And this week has taken us in a lot of different places, let me tell you. Which brings us to everyone's fan favorite, I think. you know, anyways. We like to say people kind, not necessarily mankind. It's more inclusive. There we go, exactly.

Yes, thank you. And the budget will balance itself. Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense. The myriad bullshit that is the China story, well, what do you want to talk about, Tuesday? I don't even know here. the saga that it is. I just,

I was thinking, like, how can we possibly cover this in any sort of a succinct amount of time? I'm, I'm working on an episode right now that I was hoping to have done this morning, which is yesterday morning

when you guys are listening to this. And it's just this deep dive. And then I saw Quick Dick McDick did an episode about it. And I'm like, oh, if he stole a bunch of my jokes, not stole, but you know what I mean?

Like, you know, and if someone comes up with the same joke that you've got written down, you just haven't done anything with it yet, you're like, oh, but luckily we're, you know, we're covering the same idea, but we're going in different directions, I think. But there's, there's so much here that I think really all we can really do to just cover it succinctly and kind of mash up fashion is maybe just to hit a few key bullet points.

Sure. Okay. Well, here, here's the bullet points you got rolled down. All right. Trudeau had his election future saved in 2015 by a bunch of out of province form people with Chinese names. He said the allegations are false, but the RCMP investigation with whistleblowers says otherwise. Trudeau is alleged to have been briefed about it in 2019 and 2021, did nothing.

And he talked about it meaning nothing. And then, you know, later on this year talks about how they're going to look at anyways, look into it further. Vincent K, former Ontario conservative MPPP is alleged to have been a conduit for dirty Chinese election money and has been kicked out of the party. Marty, Mary, how do you, you know,

a vote, Ning, probably, has ties to an alleged Chinese front for election tampering, but is refusing to comment. Canada paid out $4.2 million in foreign aid to a, to China in 2020,

while the Michaels were kidnapped. The Trudeau Foundation gave back 200K that had been funneled to them from the Chinese government. Anything else we're missing? I mean, that's pretty much it right there. It's the, the story has,

expanded so much from when we started talking about it last week. And I'm kind of worried that there's so much both shit fuckery a foot that people are going to be missing out on what this actually means because it's just wham, wham, but Trudeau was a dead horse in 2015 and there was a poll that came out, excuse me in September of 2015 saying that he was losing his writing by I think nine points and then in October you had almost every single donation to his writing come in and out of all of it there was only there was something like 270 some unique names donating and only 30 of them weren't

obviously Chinese names. And only about 6% of the total donations were in Quebec, let alone Papano, but only 6% of his writing's donations were in fucking Quebec. And so you had this guy who was

scrambling for a lifeline. And China comes along and they're like, well, we could save you. We can make this happen. And he's been in their pocket ever since. I just imagine the direction our country would be in right now if China had not taken an active role in saving Justin Trudeau's political career in 2015.

It is a wild thought, isn't it? I mean, a pretty happy thought because he's caused me a lot of pain in the last, you know, however many elections now, he's been elected. But yeah, every time we want to get mad at the GTA voters for voting liberal, we've got to get equally mad at the Chinese Communist Party. for being the people who even made it all possible in the first place. For looking at our election rules and finding ways to make it work for what they wanted. Well, I mean, they just looked at it.

They said, okay, well, what can we do that wouldn't technically get us kicked out of the country and blackball on the international stage, but could still get the job done, right? It's like that Apollo 13 scene where they've got that pile of stuff they pour it on the table. And they're like, we need to make this thing fit in this hole. And we could only use the stuff on the table. And then they make it happen. Yeah. And correct me if I'm wrong to.

When I read all the different articles and listened to some different things and everything else, it's, it's they went to strongholds, you know, like a liberal stronghold or a conservative stronghold where they knew the person was going to win and didn't focus on the election. Because in order to vote an election, you have to be a Canadian citizen or a lot more stringent. A lot more strange of rules. But in a party nomination, you do not. So, like, my wife is a permanent resident. She can still vote in the party. They're taking our jobs.

And so what did they do? They looked at strongholds, found a candidate that sympathizes to whatever they're, you know, and help them win because they knew they'd win the election because it's a liberal or it's a conservative stronghold. And when you think of that, I'm like, fuck, that's, like, actually quite in general. genius, except for it isn't us doing it. It's a foreign country doing it. You know, I think I said this like a couple episodes ago. Can you imagine if a bunch of conservatives or maybe not conservatives, I don't want to, I don't

know what I can say. It doesn't get me in more trouble than I probably already am. Getting all kinds of trouble. I do it every week. Well, can you imagine if we, we just picked out some NDP strongholds in Emmington and went, let's just get our guy. You should have that conversation with Corey Morgan and see how it goes. Oh.

Yeah, Corey Morgan ran. for the Yeah, but Corey Morgan, it's got to be a little more settled than Corey Morgan, doesn't it? It doesn't get any more subtle than Cory Morgan. I disagree.

I think he's good. I'm looking forward to talking to him next week. Actually, I got to touch, I got to reach out to him. I haven't got his book yet, but I'm going to tell him to bring me up a copy. Sad thing is, is Corey can't make it. He's got family things going on now.

So you're going to have to give him a hard time. I thought we were his family. I thought so, too. that leaves us with happy news. And this is funny. Yeah, we need to turn this around because I'm crushed. Yeah, I know. This is kind of funny.

All right. This is the happy news. Flipping the bird, and I spelled it wrong, flipping the bread, therapeutic and legal. It's what the listeners have come to expect. Vern and Barb, this is what they're paying for. Spelling errors on the mashup anyways. Yeah, we charge you double to hit F7 after we punch all this in.

A Quebec court judge says Canadians have a god-given, constitutionally protected right to flip off obnoxious neighbors. That is a direct quote. That is a direct quote. Judge Dennis Gallis Statoz made comments in February ruling acquitting a Montreal area man of criminal harassment, adding that the fact the man was arrested and prosecutor to all was bewildering injustice. police arrested Neil Epstein in May 2021 after he flipped two middle fingers at a neighbor Michael Nakash who had threatened him while holding a power tool

and he says literally give him the double B Yeah so the judge threw it out because he said it was completely frivolous He actually said Galeas Satos wrote in acquitting Epstein No relation that he wished he could literally

not just figuratively, throw the case out of court. So the next time someone's pissing you off, flip them off, because our courts have ruled on it and it's totally fine. Yeah, I... That is, that is, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's just great, you know?

How do you, how do you, I don't know, like we've had that happy news. The fact that gets ruled is, anyways, you get the point. here's some comments Okay, we're at the end here We gotta talk about this too's Okay, we're gonna talk about it live That way people Listening tomorrow morning

And tonight can have their say on this Because I'm kind of At a crux on this You know, by the time we get to the comments At the end I read back through them And I go That's not what a crux means But continue

Anyways, I'm at this point Where I'm like, it's a crossroads Or something, I don't know Anyways Where we bring up the comments And the first one is, what the hell? Never got a dime to buy our first home. I'm choked.

And darn, I missed out the boat color-wise. This is disgusting. That's Barb Gulka. Oh, I missed the boat color-wise. Yes, yes. Anyways, this is going all the way back. So my question to the listeners and to you is, while we're going through this, should a guy be reading these

or picking out a few to read for each story if they pop up? If they don't pop up, whoop-dy-do-do? Or do you just continue on at the end? and we just read through them and we try and make sense in them the best we can. Barb, I got to tell you. You got to answer my coming from. You got to answer my question first. Do we do them up as they happen?

As they come or at the end. I mean, you already got six jobs. You're the hardest working candy in town, Mon. I don't know if we could give you one more and not have this whole thing fall apart. I tell you what? It's falling apart many a time. What's one more job? I mean, Tuesday is just going to sit there and scream at the recording anyways.

I'm just like good looks. I'm the honey pot that keeps people coming in every week. Sure. But to Barb's comment, I understand where you're coming from. It's frustrating. My first home wasn't subsidized by the government either. But think about how difficult it must be for these members of parliament when they're buying their second, third, and fourth cottages in Ontario because that's what they call

them in Ontario. And now they have to look at other people just getting the down payments for free. I guess so. Zane says. Jane, my man. What was their name again? Why am I for Rebecca? Romaine Stamos.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said 98. I said 98. Anyway, Zane's saying, once again, twos is not wrong on the Maxim cover. See, everybody's getting stuck. I haven't talked Maxim. Like, geez, that's a, that's a long time ago.

I said, the only problem I can't find, like I have no idea which cover I'm looking for, you know? It's just, okay. You know, anyways, I'll keep reading. He's going to go look for the cover because I pull up two folks. I can't find the one. Anyways. Carol Scobie says, yet they hold four political prisoners in jail without due process.

I think she's talking coots, yes? Probably, yeah. You know, I, fingers crossed, folks. Fingers crossed. I get to sit down with Tamara Leach. That'll be episode 400. That'll be this Friday. It's pretty monumental.

I think so for multiple things. But talking about political prisoners, you know, I'm interested to hear about, you know, I mean, she's pretty much had a gag on her, gag order on her for a year now. She's come out on a couple different shows and heard her talk a little bit and certainly to get to sit with her will be interesting. But yes, political prisoners in Canada is a wild, wild thing. Barbara also said quite entertaining. She's laughing out loud. While I'm doing taxes, saves me cussing out Trudeau, and she kept on a laughing.

Arnie Byrne said it's all smoke and mirrors. Look over here while over there. Their hand is in the piggy bank again. I actually quite agree. It is, you know, people are taken out of the old piggy bank. What can I say? Did you find it? Oh, yeah, sorry, I haven't been listening.

I've been scrolling through pictures of Rebecca made Stamos. Tews has a pretty tough life, doesn't he, folks? You know? Like, we get some comments on here that just gross twos? He's like, he forgets he's on a live show while he's looking. Oh, you're still here, Sean? Oh, whoops. Whoops, I didn't mean, oh, my goodness.

You know, like, this is what I put up with. with. All right. Well, we'll just leave that. We'll sideline it. I don't know. Maybe we'll just put a picture up real quick at the start of the next episode.

We can't dwell on it too long. Fair enough. I'm not sure. This is Sandy. She said, I'm not sure what the left has to see before they realize JT is compromised. Chinese, Canadians are being terrorized and the lives are letting it happen.

At some point, I get the fact that nothing's been definitively proven yet, and that the truth hasn't come out in any of this, even though it seems like it would be really fucking easy to just say that, oh, hey, Trudeau was given this memo on this date. And then you'd be like, yeah, but I was still in that day and I didn't read it. And that's going to be your best excuse, right? It should be pretty easy to bring the truth out.

But at some point, there's this overwhelming mountain of allegations where you say, even if a tiny little speck of it is true, that's still way worse than anything we should be putting up with. with. Here's a... Okay, here's... I asked the question, the twos, now Zane's comment. If the comments pop up during the stream, it does take time, I think, is...

Though it keeps momentum on the subject at hand. Here's a thought. For, here's a thought for twos, and I... I'm throwing them... I like where he's going with this. I like... I got some curveballs for you today, Tews. Here's my... Here's my newest one. All right. What if the Tuesday mashup

eventually grew to a second show a week, but the second show... was something similar to this, but more of a call-in show, more of an interaction with the listener. And I'm totally throwing this at Tuesday, anyone listening, because I'm curious. I like it.

That way people could actually have their say. I don't know how we format it. And I don't know when we get there, folks. I want to be very clear. Me and Tuesdays are. And now we're going live to John in Hanley. John, you're on the air. What do you think about the latest?

I used to steal 2's lunch money That's probably would have come down to You know No, they kicked their ass at football And I still haven't forgiven them Oh yeah I don't know what I hope this is on this Zane

We the people agree A call-in show? I don't know is that what is anyways Okay I've been I've been asked about it Tews about doing something like that Where people actually get to call in And you

They want to talk to us? I guess so they just want to have their voices heard you know man we're talking about current current things going on they can tell us what's going on in the province right now 100% anyways mashup 46 Vernon barb got more than they bargained for this week they either got their absolute money's worth or they're going to want it back that's uh once again that's uh risk and hope farm they got a bull sale coming up March 26 all the details in the show notes. And Verne, Barb,

thank you. This has been fun. We've managed to crack the hour mark this week. Dear God. Oh, we're going to hear about it from Marty. 55 minutes since we were supposed to do 28 minutes. I'm blaming that on Tuesday this week. You know, like we are the government.

You know, we found a way to just inflate it, you know. It's just a bunch of verbal bureaucracy. Well, it's been fun, good sir. looking forward to next week already because I just get to mess around with certain things like this and this is how we're going to I hope they don't shit on you, Bubbles.

Shit on you? Who? Shit hogs. Big dirty shit hogs. We'll catch you next week, too. See ya.
