Starting point is 00:00:01 You're a dick, are a dick. We couldn't go back to back weeks of having two's rants, couldn't even? Well, give the people what they want, Sean. By people, you mean one person. One person on Twitter, one text, that was it. There was two people. Two people in all this great country, including people from the states who have been listening. Nobody wanted it.
Starting point is 00:01:16 You don't get a vote. You don't get a vote. There's no vote for you. Welcome to Mashup 49. That's what we're going to start it the right way. with two's not getting his say on whether he gets to rant or not. That's my thought. What a bunch of malarkey.
Starting point is 00:01:31 This mashup 49. We're going to go on strike. Yeah, well. I need to unionize. Mashap 49 brought to you by garden girl.ca. Did you ever think in your wildest dreams the Tuesday mashup would be brought to you by Garden Girl? It makes perfect sense, Sean. Maybe it does.
Starting point is 00:01:51 It absolutely does. I mean, like, their whole thing is that they're passionate about people growing their own food and wanting to learn to grow their own stuff. And, you know, the more self-sufficient people can be, the less they need to rely on things like the liberal grocery handout, right? Yes. And so, I mean, it's a very good fit. I didn't say it wasn't a good fit. I just never in my wildest dreams thought we'd be garden girl.ca. Totally.
Starting point is 00:02:19 It makes a world of sense. you know, they've got the stuff where you can grow indoors. Like I just, I just replanted some of my, you know, the little pots I got by the windowsill because it gets a little bit cold there in the wintertime. So, you know, I'm getting ready to have some lettuce and chives and things like that.
Starting point is 00:02:38 And then in the next week or two, I got to get started on, you know, the little pods that you get everything planted in where you can move them outside. So, yeah, I, I quite like this. I agree too. So for the month of April, it's Ariel out of Regina, Saskatchewan, another Sask fan of the show.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Yeah. That's garden girl.ca. 15% discounts on, discount on seeds and bulbs for all the listeners. Discount code is mashup. They ship across Canada. They're a small family-owned business who believes everyone should know how to grow their own food. We were talking lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, and, I mean, a whole bunch of other things. And she says something for.
Starting point is 00:03:19 the love of God, just grow something. It's essential that we're going to toss the link in the show notes, but it's essentially garden girl.ca. And when it pops up, it allows for a discount code and just put in mashup and you get 15% off. So that's pretty sweet, nice and easy. And we'll throw it in the show notes. And the Cross Canada shipping, unless I'm mistaken, is I think $8 flat, which you can't, you can't even hardly buy a stamp for that. It's fair. It's fair. So new month, new sponsor, having a little bit of fun, matching 49, closing in on 52, which is, as we've been
Starting point is 00:03:55 joking a little bit, I think. 51 will be. Actually, 50. Next week's going to be one year. Because we skipped one week while we were figuring out what it was going to look like to actually do this. And then we took Christmas off. And then we took Christmas off. So next week is going to be the one year anniversary.
Starting point is 00:04:12 What are we doing for one year? I mean, garden girls getting just a gem of a week, you know, one year anniversary. I don't even know what to do on that. I don't know. I'm not buying you diamonds if that's what you're asking. That sounds kind of nice. Anyways. You know what it also is one year on a side note?
Starting point is 00:04:30 April 1st. Yeah, congratulations. That's something worth diamonds, to be honest. Terrible, terrible day. I don't know why it ever landed that way, but April 1st was my first day of full-time podcasting a year ago. So it was a year of full-time podcasting April 1st. Good for you, man.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Yeah, yeah, appreciate it. Thank you. Now, in saying that, nobody came to hear that. They want mashup 49, and so we're going to give it to them here. Oh, we got comments coming in. But isn't that funny? George, come on, George. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I take umbrage with this because I quite like that jam. But I tell you what. George says I hate the music. And just in back, George is from Eastern Europe. He's immigrated to Canada. Anyways, that's funny. Well, go back to where you came from if you don't like it. I mean, we have been toying with the idea of doing something different with the...
Starting point is 00:05:26 And it's Daniel Smith. Yeah, April Smith is Daniel Smith's birthday. That's correct. From George. But, yeah. What is going on today? Here we go. And Ken McAvind says, let him rant.
Starting point is 00:05:37 I love it. Oh, what a beauty, Ken. I appreciate your support. And, and, oh, man. And here it is. Tuse needs to record his rant and we can listen to it after the show. That's Dave, uh, amy it.
Starting point is 00:05:52 So there you go. Maybe there are a few more people that are holding on that Tuse is going to get a rant here, folks. I don't know what I'm going to do with all this. I don't like this. That's it. No more lives. Lives are done.
Starting point is 00:06:04 No more. We're about to start a YouTube channel. So I don't know, maybe I could throw some rants on there if you guys are interested. Or I just yell at clouds and things like that. Oh, we could do that. Hey, I tell you what, uh, Two's is, we're branching out. We're going to go on the YouTube road and see how long we last.
Starting point is 00:06:21 We'll see how that goes. Either way, we're going to have some fun with it, hopefully find a few different ways. And with May 29th coming quickly and the mashup, going to be doing some election coverage, we figure we might as train. It just makes sense to hit all the stops, right? And, I mean, we didn't cover PEIs tonight,
Starting point is 00:06:40 which, I mean, you guys are going to be listening to this, unless you're live, like Gary, for example. but if you're listening to this on the podcast, the PEI election just happened, and the conservatives got a walloping 22 seats for a vast majority. Keep in mind that you're dealing with a population that's quite small in Prince Edward Island, even though they still have four seats in the federal parliament.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Okay, well, let's fire this thing up, shall we? Shall we get it rolling here? We got 12. items today. I feel like that's 24 minutes by our standard and by our standard. Make it 26 because one of them's kind of a super conglomerate. Oh my God. Actually, that's true. The one I have like a page in a half of notes. Anyways, you know, I would normally say 24 minutes, which I would say we could probably get done in 39. Somehow we're going to stretch it to 44 and 30 seconds. That's my guess.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Do it. The timer starts now. Here we go. It is Trudeau's liberals a job creating powerhouse. Here it is. The federal liberal government tabled a budget Tuesday that calls for billions of dollars in new spending, something they've done in every other fiscal document for the last seven years. So every year they've done similar things. They're consistent. You can't argue with consistency. A review of federal finances show just how big the government has become in recent years.
Starting point is 00:08:06 As a result, Ottawa was projected to spend about 151 billion more next year than it did since 2014-15. the year before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his party won government in November. It's not just expenses. Federal public service employment has increased by 31%. In the seven years, the government has added nearly 80,000 employees to the roster during its tenor. A total expenses for the federal government were 280.4 billion in the 2014-15 fiscal year, and that's roughly with inflation, $345, and the finance minister, Christia Freeland budget projects, projects, projects total expenses will be $496 billion for this year.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Okay, so think about it this way for a second. That amount of people, 80,000 jobs, we've got a 65.7% labor engagement rate or whatever it is. If you look at 100 people in Canada, 65.7 of them have jobs. So that's like every single job, every job in a place the size of Moncton, New Brunswick. Like basically, if you're not one of the top two cities in Canada, that's every single job in your town, community, city, whatever, multiple times over. Like, it's more than Nanaimo has. It's more than Red Deer or Thunder Bay. it's like two grandbies
Starting point is 00:09:41 if anybody's listening from fucking Quebec we still not anyone chime in from Quebec I don't think we have I mean we don't parley Voo so what are they going to listen to right yeah so this is this is insane and like out of this whole budget
Starting point is 00:10:01 the only thing that the only thing where they're actually cutting back on is that they cut the salary for the conflict of uh conflict of interest ethics commissioner by a third. That's it. They cut it by like $110,000.
Starting point is 00:10:19 And that's the job that they're trying to fill, which we're going to get to later. But that's the only thing out of this absolute cornucopia of spending that they thought was worth just trimming back a little bit on and they cut it back by a whole fucking third. As if that isn't a fuck you to the people who are actually calling them out on their bullshit, I don't know what it is. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:10:41 And okay, the PEI election. Okay, here, and of course, you know, Sean, would he be ready to go? No, you had to have a few minor issues going on. Beer. Yeah, yeah, something like that. Here we go. Here's what it looked like. So this was the projection.
Starting point is 00:11:00 And actually the conservatives appear to have done slightly better than that. The liberals roughly the same. The Greens a lot less. the Greens actually or pardon me the Liberals a bit less the Greens a bit less even though the liberals
Starting point is 00:11:16 took more seats because of just the way first past the post works and the NDP as always they're not even bridesmaids they're not even ring bearers they're not even ushers
Starting point is 00:11:26 here I'll bring up zero seats in Prince Edward Island as per the euse I don't know if I've ever told you this Sean but they're not a serious party I've never heard that before Here, here's the change in seats compared to 2019. There you go.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Plus nine for the conservatives, liberals down three, greens down six. And there you have. Although, to be fair, Atlantic conservative parties are a lot like socialist prairie parties. So when you look at it, you're like, oh, the conservatives won. Here's the thing that nobody ever really asks is just because conservative is in their name, Are they actually conservative? That's a fair point, honestly. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:15 But anyways, that's our quick little bit on that one. I feel like we're going to have a lot more to say come May 29th. Well, I'm excited for May 29th election coverage. Oh, absolutely. I've got. Have you looked at the document I shared with you with all of my notes and thoughts and everything like that? It's a fucking novel. You know what's going to be hard for twos, folks?
Starting point is 00:12:40 on election night coverage is allowing a guest to speak that could be interesting you know um it's not going to be too or sean throwing two softballs all night although that would probably be in there too who am i kidding but uh regardless i'm excited it should be a fun little uh adventure i i think i mean we've got we haven't finalized the roster yet but we've got we've got a few very well respected dames a few people with some really interesting things to say are going to pop it and and talking about it and stuff like that it's something that uh you should put on your calendars. I mean, it's probably, you're going to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:14 It's the election. But just when the election happens, think of us. Climate change, professional wrestling's less believable cousin. This one, okay, let's see here. Oak forests, rugged canyons and mountain creeks make the tiny communities of Lake Hughes and Elizabeth's Lake and northwestern Los Angeles County seem as far as one can get from urban commotion and pollution.
Starting point is 00:13:39 They also said their lifestyle is getting edgier because of cascading consequences of climate, whiplash, wildfires, flash floods, and landslides that have visibly altered the contours of the surrounding Sierra, Polona Mountains at the headwaters of the Santa Clarita River. If you read to the end of the article, it then goes on to say the community has rejected proposals to form a flood control district,
Starting point is 00:14:02 which they said would increase local taxes and add to a layer of government intervention and their rural lifestyles. That's not the news. Sean? Well, what do you want? Climate Whiplash. You want climate?
Starting point is 00:14:13 They're always coming up with these sexy and scary names like polar vortex and what was that one with like the currents and the atmospheric river. And now it's climate whiplash. And like it's almost as though they're taking their names. It's almost as though. Professional wrestling moves. It's like, oh, we got hit with the climate razor's edge. Right?
Starting point is 00:14:35 Like they should just, they should go just full Chris Jericho. on this and be like, you know what? We got hit with the climate moss-covered three-handled family grundosal or the climate Saskatchewan spinning nerve hold, both of which are actual wrestling moves. Because they're just, they're just trying to say, okay, what's the scariest bunch of random words we could throw together? Like, you'd think they'd throw in something from, I don't know, Saw or Halloween or something
Starting point is 00:15:04 like that? Like, I went to play a climate game. It's just, it's past the point of idiocy at this point. Two sends me this. And I'm like, what the, like, what is he said to me? The moss covered three handled family ground, grand dozzle, grand dunzel. I'm like, this is what they're naming weather after now. This is the stuff right here.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Like, it's the shooting star, Sapal super press. You just throw the word climate in there somewhere or atmospheric or oceanic or whatever else, right? Super blizzard. Super blizzard's on there. Look at it. Super blizzard. It says right there. It's total wrestling moves. This is it. This is what they've been doing. The World Economic Forum has been plagiarizing a Reddit thread about crazy wrestling move names.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Here, Sean was trying to say for what the hell twos was trying to throw at him. I read both and I'm like, okay, so there, but I missed the whip I just completely like glazed over it. I'm like, well, I assume this is what he's trying to say. Sean should never assume with twos. That would just, you know, this is what happened. Happens.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Anyways. Irrelevant media posts Nothing Burger articles. This is about Alberta. Alberta is gearing up for provincial election this spring where you can watch the Tuesday Mashup give you some coverage. Anyways. But the right wing political... Let's not be a dead horse, Sean.
Starting point is 00:16:38 But the right wing political action groups and third party advertisers who want to see Daniel Smith in a far-right slate of candidates from a form government have already begun their work. I'm surprised. I was actually, I was kind of curious, too, is if our name was going to be on this list when I see the list. Anyways, some groups are running TV ads. We're not nearly that important. Some post memes on Facebook while others are organizing behind the scenes to take over the governing United Conservative Party itself in the post Jason Keniara. Messaging for more active groups is a mix of rhetoric about Alberta independence. conspiracies about the pandemic.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yes. And vaccines, as well as shilling for business interests. The number one group they talked about was Take Back Alberta. You know who I had on the podcast today? Who did you have on the podcast today? I had David fucking Parker on the podcast. I didn't know that. I was going to say you talked with the Western Standard stuff. I was going to segue into that.
Starting point is 00:17:30 I didn't know you talked about it today. Yeah, it was my episode today. So I damn or laughed. I'm like, well, I've literally interviewed the first guy they're like saying, like is the most dangerous guy in Alberta about the upcoming election anyways. Did he try and stab you? No. Maybe he's not as dangerous as everybody's saying?
Starting point is 00:17:45 I'm waiting to get to the bottom where they just see me and you like, having a good old time, you know, talking about conspiracies and laughing about the news headlines. And this mashup is dangerous things. You shouldn't be listening to it. They're shilling for the common man. And I tell you, you shouldn't be watching this stuff. It'll fill your head with nonsense. Press progress.
Starting point is 00:18:06 The Thai-Narwal, they're basically just union propagandists disguised as news. And so it's just really interesting because they just say, oh, well, this is a group of very concerned Albertans who have organized and they're trying to direct the flow that our government goes in. And that's somehow evil. And the interesting thing is there's no counterpoint to this at all in any of this. even CTV picked it up. And they don't talk about how all of the NDP money comes from unions. All of their support comes from unions. And when you think about it as a taxpayer,
Starting point is 00:18:46 you are on the opposite side of the table from the public sector unions. And so when you're a taxpayer, you should not want your enemy at this particular spot. I'm going to get misquoted for this in 20 years, I'm sure. But anyway, adversary when you're discussing what's fair recompense for the work that they're doing, which is generally shit. You don't want them just buying up elections like they did in Calgary like they did in
Starting point is 00:19:19 Edmonton. Look how that's going for everybody. And so you're like, ooh, this is super scary. There's a bunch of people who are concerned that they want things to go well in the province and when they're getting organized. and there's absolutely nothing of substance in this article other than just the fact that they're organized and they've got some funding
Starting point is 00:19:40 and they're actively working within their local boards and the conspiracy theorists. Don't forget their conspiracy theorists. We can't have any of that in our anywhere in politics. There's a crazy conspiracy. The NDP suck. Eileen Clark says we love David Parker. Hey, there you go.
Starting point is 00:20:00 We do too. There's a lot of people out there that, are falling right along. You know, it's funny, I've heard this headline before. I feel like it's kind of like becoming, we need a little song and dance for this one. The NDP are not a serious party. Oh, here we go.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I'm not grabbing my guitar. Let's just get into it. Even my father texts me about this one tonight. Okay? Okay. I think the world wanted to make sure the mashup was going to talk about this. Anyways, former BC Premier John Horgan's first job after officially resigning his seat in the BC legislature will be with,
Starting point is 00:20:35 drummer roll, please. A coal company. You cannot make this up. So this is the guy who actively stymied pipelines from Alberta and Saskatchewan, getting to Tidewater through British Columbia in the safest and most environmentally responsible way possible for literal years. He retires from the NDP. And basically, before he even tries on his golf shoes, he's back at it on the board of a coal mine. Here's what Rex Murphy had to say.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Did you see Rex Murphy's article? It was about carbon tax. But at the very end of it, it talks about Horgan. Did you see this? Yeah, he said he was a tool. Yeah, he did. Speaking of coal, here's a quiz. This is Rex Murphy now.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Name the recent BC Premier who fought Pipelines with a frenzy and the name of saving the planet. who now out of office has taken a position on a BC coal company board. A coal company board. You cannot make this stuff up. The leather on the BC Premier's cabinet chair is still warm from his hindquarters, and John Horgan, and I quote, I'll fight it with every tool in the toolbox, is now a coal mining director.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Speaking of tools, dot, dot, dot, dot. That's Rex Murphy in the National Post today. This is, John, this is the NDP. It's all just pomp and circumstance and just showboating. without doing anything behind to actually make the change or even believe in the change. Like, honestly, I'm calling it now. I bet you in about a year, year and a half, the NDP and Alberta are going to rebrand. Really?
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yep. Yep. We'll talk about it on May 29th. But let's not be the dead horse. But let's not be the dead horse. Okay, fair. I'm interested. I'm intrigued.
Starting point is 00:22:26 I'm interested what you think they're going to call themselves. we've been right about light beer all along there's no article with that i moved it down to the other thing shit i was going to tell you about this and i forgot okay just skip sorry this is my bad folks move to the next one hope they don't shit on you bobbled shit on who shit hogs
Starting point is 00:22:49 big dirty shit hogs you know we gotta play that quote because tues is an idiot And he did, you come on the mashup. I'm like, I should ask why there's no article. But you know what's funny? Every week, folks, I go to Tuesday. I've never done no articles or links or anything like that. You know, he's going to try and justify it.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Every time Sean's like, hey, like, what's going on with this thing? He's usually like, oh, no, no, just let it roll. I got something like just fire. Oh, yeah, I can't wait to just like this. That's absolutely true. That is absolutely true. So the first time I look at this and I'm like, ah, he's got something. Tews has got something about Lightbeard.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Does he have anything about Light Bear? No, he does not. Stay tuned. So now I've got a fine way to fill air for a couple minutes so that I make my 43 minutes and 30 seconds or whatever I said. Anyways, here we go. Okay, liberals, LeBlanc out on conflict of interest. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet have a very spotty record
Starting point is 00:23:45 of complying with the Federal Conflict of Interest Act. You don't say. Trudeau has broken it twice in the Hague-Con affair and the SNC Lavelin scandal. And Dominic LeBlanc, The liberal fisheries minister, now intergovernmental affairs minister, violated the act in 2018 when he awarded a lucrative fishing license to a company linked to his wife's cousin. These incidents make Trudeau's recent decision to name LeBlanc's sister-in-law,
Starting point is 00:24:11 Martin, Richard, as Canada's interim ethics commissioner responsible for enforcing the Conflict of Interest Act, completely inappropriate. and Trudeau has defended the appointment by arguing Richard is a senior official in the Ethics Commissioner's Office who has done excellent work there for more than a decade starting under the Stephen Howard Concertive. As she? Okay, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:24:37 In all fairness, when you're hiring somebody for a position, you want somebody who has experience, you want somebody who knows the inn and outs. You want somebody who has a good grasp of the subject material that they're going to be dealing with on a day-to-day basis. and who better than the brother-in-law of the former fisheries minister who was violated the Conflict of Interest Act himself. Having said that,
Starting point is 00:25:04 is there nobody else in Ottawa who is not a fucking cousin of a liberal? I mean, you've got the rapporteur who's grandkids play with Trudeau's kids, who's been a family friend for decades. They're like, oh, the Aga Connie is staying out with my dad, so I'm going to go down and visit him. It's not conflict of end. Okay, sorry. I'm going to pay the $200 fine.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I mean, there is so much nepotism in that city. It's fucking disgusting. I don't understand why the federal governments when the conservatives are in charge and even the provincial ones. Honestly, like, why do they always want to consolidate in the one city? You're just setting up a cesspool of bullshit. Like, throw a little bit, like, you know, Alberta, why don't you throw a little bit of the provincial,
Starting point is 00:25:51 governance, bullshit, bureaucratic, nonsense, do nothing jobs. Throw a couple of them to Lethbridge and a couple to Fort McMurray and, you know, a couple here and a couple there. Instead of trying to put them all in one city, which is just going to cesspool all the unions together, and then all of a sudden you've got this black hole where you're not going to win any seats. It doesn't make sense electorally. It doesn't make sense in terms of what's best for the taxpayers. They never do this. And now you got this thing where they're like, oh, yeah, the best person for the job is my wife's cousin's boyfriend's brother.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And it's just like, honestly, like we joke about how inbred Manitobans are. Let's look at Ottawa for a fucking second, Sean. Oh, man, conflict of interest. It's a hard thing to understand, you know. It's just, it's a hard thing to understand, you know. I don't get why I can't award it to my wife's, brother, sisters, aunts, uncles. Anyways, it doesn't matter. Western Standard has the second best April Fool's prank this year.
Starting point is 00:26:59 And it was beautiful. Yeah. Where? I don't even know where I put it. What am I doing on this side? You got me so confused. Dr. Jordan B. Peterson retweeted it. So Western Standard wrote an article and they tweeted about it as well.
Starting point is 00:27:15 And the tweet said that one lane along the 8,000 kilometer highway, the TransCanada Highway will be repurposed from motor vehicles to bicycles and other human powered transportation which sounds exactly like something the liberals would do that just screams
Starting point is 00:27:35 Justin Trudeau I'm a fucking idiot who's never had to drive anywhere because I have private jets taking me all over the fucking place that just it makes perfect sense and so Dr. Jordan Peterson who is not a sloch by any means says this idiot country is sheathed in ice seven months of the year
Starting point is 00:27:55 and the trans canada highway in brackets an underdeveloped national disgrace is 5,000 miles long is there nothing so stupid you won't do it at justin trudeau so yeah he got got got he got there was the western standard the western standard totally just set the whole hook reeled it in and he's flopping on the boat. Well done Western standard. Yeah, I mean for them to have Jordan Peterson. Not for anybody. For anybody.
Starting point is 00:28:34 For anyone. True. But for a man of Jordan Peterson's stature for a Western Canadian news outlet, etc. To have that out there, you know, I mean, maybe it does nothing, but I assume it does a little. No, it absolutely makes sense. This is the same kind of thing. Like, remember the first time we ever talked on your podcast before we even knew each other at all.
Starting point is 00:28:58 And I was talking about that parody account, the Catherine McCannada parody account. They got kicked off of Twitter because Brett Wilson looked at it and said, okay, well, that sounds like something that Catherine McKenna would do. And it was just absolutely assonine bullshit, which is exactly what Catherine McKenna would have done. And then the liberal government reached out to Twitter and got that. Twitter account shut down. This is the same kind of thing. This is that level of high quality
Starting point is 00:29:30 parity that so many of us aspire to, where we just want to be that good and we want to get people. This is like that guy in Alaska in the 70s who spent like months lugging tires up to the top of the fucking mountain. And then on April 1st, he just poured a bunch of gas on him and lit him on fire.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And then everybody thought the fucking volcano had on active, but it was him just fucking around with old tires. This is that epic level of trolling. And honestly, if you're not subscribing to the Western Standard, you fucking should. Because this is well done. Oh, man. Okay. Parliament has best April Fool's prank this year.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Okay. So Western Standard was good? This one's better. The Liberals budget set aside. Well, now I'm reading the wrong one. Ken, a parliamentary budget officer says the average family and seven promises, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's carbon tax now applies will pay hundreds of dollars more in carbon taxes this year
Starting point is 00:30:28 than they will get back in rebates. With Justin Trudeau's carbon tax increase by 30% to $65 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions from 50 per ton on April 1st, when both fiscal and economic impacts of the federal fuel charge are considered, we estimate that most households will see a net loss paying more in fuel charges at GST as well as receiving lower incomes compared to the climate. action incentive payments they received and lower personal income taxes they pay they estimate the net cost of the average household in Ontario will be 478 this year and by uh rising to 1820 and 2030
Starting point is 00:31:06 it goes on to list all the provinces and what they're going to see just put it this way it's going everybody's getting screwed correct and then um even gil ball was actually on ctb's not power in politics pal whatever i don't know they've all got stupid names but um he was with vasie capelos and she actually to her credit got him to admit that for the average canadian they were going to be paying more the carbon tax went up on april first the alcohol tax went up on april first all of the generic i i think cigarettes maybe went up on april first two um and then the one other thing that went up on April 1st. MPs will take their fourth pay raise since the beginning of the pandemic on April 1st.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Yep. And it's estimated this year's pay raise will range from an extra $5,100 to the backbench MP to an extra $10 grand for the Prime Minister based on contract data published by the federal government. So everything's going up, including how much we're paying our officials. And the Canadian taxpayer pointed out, an increase in 14 cents per liter for gasoline, 12 cents per cubic meter of natural gas, as well as a 2% raise on beer, wine, and spirits.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Yeah. So think about this for a second. We pay for Justin Trudeau's housing. We pay for his entire family's groceries, which gets up to $12,000 a month. While he jetsets around the fucking world, we pay for his vacation property on the lake that never fucking goes to because he's always off the Costa Rica and Jamaica and some fucking idiot fucking shit that
Starting point is 00:32:59 none of us can afford to go to. And at the same time while this fucking vapid moron has zero personal expenses, we gave him a $10,000 a year raise. Just plus me out. I don't even, yeah, okay, that's
Starting point is 00:33:20 even better. I don't know. I have nothing to add to that, honestly. It's, it's, uh, it's a sad, state of affairs when that's what's going on. Everything's going up. This is like when Maduro and Venezuela did that public service announcement about how
Starting point is 00:33:39 bad it was and how people were feeling poor and everything like that and the socialist country was collapsing and he just sat there eating an orange and he's like, well, I've got an orange. I don't know why you guys are complaining. Trans discussing reaching boiling point. Here is the first. Okay. This was.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Very nearly the happy news. Okay, so this is, there's a lot to this. Okay, let's start here. A bearded pro powerlifter entered a women's competition in Canada and smashed a record held by a trans lifter who was watching. Okay, I'm going to read that one more time so everybody can understand what I just said. A bearded pro powerlifter entered a women's competition in Canada,
Starting point is 00:34:26 smashed the record held by a translifter who was watching. Okay, so she was, he was in the, anyways. A.V. Silverberg, the head coach for, Avi Silverberg, for the head coach for Team Canada powerlifting for more than 10 years, entered Saturday's Heroes Classic Tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta after identifying as a female. Video shared by the, this is the guy, obviously, on the video. Video shared by an athlete activist group, the Independent Council on Women's Sport, shows him walking up the platform, still fully bearded, and wearing a regular men's, singlet. He then casually bench-pressed nearly 370 pounds, beating the current Alberta women's record by almost 100 pounds. And the bearded pro-powerlifter entered a women's competition.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Anyways. He smashed the records, showing up just as he was, said, I identify as a woman, beat the shit out of the records, and then walked away while this trans athlete who had everybody else competing for second place is now pissed. and so it's it's so poetic it's beautiful
Starting point is 00:35:36 I don't think Shakespeare if you gave him a thousand years and a million pages of paper could have wrote something like that the appropriate amount of ink as well I don't think he could have come up with something that good
Starting point is 00:35:50 like just there's so much there okay where do I even start with this okay in professional sports as in professional anything you've got this this public persona that everybody feels like they need to put forward and they don't ever want to be the person at the company to say this is bullshit and have it come back and reflect on them. And so they get
Starting point is 00:36:13 personally shamed into doing stupid things in the interest of the company. And this is what happens with these professional organizations like the NHL, which we're going to get to, like this powerlifting thing, like all of this stuff where you have this six, five, 50 year old dude in the states playing on a college women's basketball team. And he's basically like every other chick on the basketball team, which tend to be tall girls, by the way, like up to here on him. Did you see the New Zealand Prime Minister? Did you see that one?
Starting point is 00:36:49 How do you define a woman? And then he goes, well, well, prepare for that question. And then he's like, I think you get to decide. I think you get to this. Anyways, you're like, oh boy. How about this? Okay, you brought up the NHL. In response to an increasing number of players engaging in silent protests against the NHL's Pride Nights, a new report claims the league is reevaluating the events which may lead to them being canceled. Currently, all the teams of the NHL hold Pride Nights, however some now do so without them theme jerseys as the events are planned by the individual teams, not the league.
Starting point is 00:37:23 And Gary Bettman said in an interview with CTV News when I asked about the players that have refused to wear pride-themed jerseys this year. This is the first time we've experienced that, and I think it's something that we're going to have to evaluate in the off season. Of course, he's talking about James Reimer, Proveroff. Now Eric and Mark Stahl have done it. You've got teams like Chicago, New York Rangers, just not doing, not wearing the jerseys whatsoever. So it'll be interesting to see where that leads overall. Here's, okay, look, if there's any trans people listening to this who are, pushing for this sort of thing, just hear me out for a second.
Starting point is 00:38:02 I will solve all of your problems. All you need to do is you just need to say, okay, we understand that everybody on the ice at the same time needs to wear the same jersey. So they've got their game jerseys. But if you want to wear a different one during the warmup, it doesn't ever have to be organized, it doesn't ever have to be mandatory,
Starting point is 00:38:22 but you just give all of the NHL players the option of any time you want, you can just wear a trans or LGBT whatever alphabet soup fucking jersey you want look it's there if you want it if you don't know worries
Starting point is 00:38:38 and every game there's going to be two or three or four or five players who are just like okay well yeah that's cool yeah I can wear that this week and that's it that's it that's all it ever has to be because as soon as you make everybody wear the ribbon who wants to wear the ribbon Like it's just
Starting point is 00:38:55 forcing people to buy into this or anything else is just going to get pushback, right? I mean, you say, we want rights, we want rights, we want rights. Well, you know what? Eventually people are going to start pushing back and you're going to get so many rights you're going to be begging for a left.
Starting point is 00:39:13 We're just, keep it civil, just make it front and friendly and optional. And people are going to actually support you. Don't be a dick about it. Or whatever the hell you're generally. are nowadays. I'm going to keep going here through the head. This is an extended list on this one because there was some interesting articles.
Starting point is 00:39:35 The next one was CBS, top executives banned staff from using the word transgender in reporting on the Nashville shooter in spite of the fact the police stated Audrey Hale was transgender at this was considered to be an important point in the case reports in the New York Post. that's, you know, if you've seen the body cam footage and everything of going in and the absolute badass. Hats off to those guys. To those guys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Just a while that they, I mean, I. Compared to the body cams for the Evaldi guys where they're just getting hand sanitizer and standing. Serious. And then the final one, I didn't realize this. So I got a, the old boys told me. about this. So they stopped drinking Bud Light and I was I heard about it. I was like what? What are you talking about? Well, here it is.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Okay. So did you see the Drew Barrymore interview with this Dylan Mulvaney? Where she gets down, you haven't seen that? Yeah, I The last time I saw Drew Barrymore do anything I didn't even realize she was in the first screen movie. Let's be clear here. I'm not
Starting point is 00:40:46 saying I'm a Drew Barrymore fan. I'm saying for a guy who sits on Twitter all the time, it was a huge thing for like a couple days. I didn't know who it was. I just knew It was a, it was a, Oh, she was in ET back in the day and she's, yeah. Anyways, trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney was announced as the latest spokesperson for Bud Light in a pair of videos that were attacked on social media.
Starting point is 00:41:07 The trans activists reeled on Saturday that the beer company sent packs of Budlight featuring the influencers face as a way to celebrate 365 days of girlhood, a milestone for Mulvaney recently reached. So this, this was the headline when I was starting to put mash up together and then and then I realized I was like you know what I better put it together with everything else but yeah this is you know some people are going on Twitter and saying like oh you know what why are you you know what the hell is wrong with you why would you do something like this why are you alienating your customer base but let's be honest for a second like let's just
Starting point is 00:41:46 have a real discussion you me everybody listening light beer this is their target base. You think Bud Light's target base is... I'm just shit talking of people who drink light beers, Sean. Fair. Here's what John Cardolo had to write. Who the hell of Bud Light thought it was a good idea to make a grown man who dresses like little girls, their new spokesperson.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Brands have to stop listening to their woke, creative teams, and get in touch with their consumer demographics. Water pretending it's beer? Unless you're... Water pretending it's beer, Sean? I feel like there's a little... You could probably make a bit of an argument there. I tell you what, a bunch of light beer drinkers are like,
Starting point is 00:42:40 fuck it. Going to the hard stuff. Let's go. You know? Screw this. We're going back to the rebel. Earl Whaley says, are we...
Starting point is 00:42:50 I'm going back through some more comments. He said, evening boys. And then he followed it up with we're Venezuela North. We absolutely are. Ooh, I didn't know this. Rex Murphy's and Red Deer May 5th. Interesting. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Is there a Star Wars thing going on? I don't know. All right. I need to look into this. You must wear it. You must wear it. Yeah. If you get it, you get it.
Starting point is 00:43:19 And I think it says no self-respecting Canadian drinks like beer. I guess her and cheese. She's absolutely right. Her and twos get along just great, you know? Anyway, it's, oh, what are you going to? do. What are you going to do? I'm trying to find the buzzer. I can't find the buzzer. Just hit any random button. You know, I'm starting to get there. Your garage door will be opening. You'll be like, okay, let's move on on the next thing. Oh, my goodness. Bleeding heart.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Oh, no, you know what? You know what? I wanted to show one more thing on this before we hop away. Okay, all right. He's just got to keep talking after the buzzer. No, no, no, because I've had Billboard Chris on the podcast. I remember that. Yeah. They're getting that kind of representation. I mean, it clearly was aggressive violence. Oh, that was kind of loud. Anyways, could you hear that, Tews? It sounded normal, but I don't know how it'll play on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Yeah, fair enough. So I guess this is how it starts. For people watching it, this lady is waving a flag in Billboard Chris's hand in his face, and then she just basically saying, you suck. By far not the first aggressive person either. and then it's chant of fuck you, fuck you. And she gets, he gets, I don't know. This is just terrible.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Sean just can't even fricking pull together a night tonight. You know, 49. Let's. Anyways, she starts yelling profanities at him and you get the point. Sean just can't get back to the couch soon enough. Just scroll at just a little bit further. She's right in his face. It's getting close.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Just wait for it, folks. folks. And Sean Newman guy that they have hosting. Just look at how aggressive this person is being, right? And come boom. Yeah. And I mean, wild stuff. Anyways, I wanted to show it because I've had Billboard Chris on.
Starting point is 00:45:12 You know, and I remember that episode. Yeah. He was just on Tucker Carlson. He was. It's really interesting because technically, he touched her first by about 3,000th of a second, but it did happen. He had his hand, like it wasn't,
Starting point is 00:45:32 it wasn't like he was leaning into it, like he was going to push her away. It was just, it was very much a, you know, let's get some separation thing. And I mean, she was right in his grill. He was, well, you can just see the anger.
Starting point is 00:45:49 He's not reacting to it. It's a wild video to watch. Very much just like a thing. So technically he touched her first, him first. God, I hate this shit. Whatever. Bleeding?
Starting point is 00:46:02 Don't even worry about it. I wanted to bring it up just because. And then all of a sudden, and then all of a sudden, this dude, the ponytail's putting on the foil and going AWOL. Not AWOL, ape shit.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Yeah. I just. And so, and so now, they tried talking to some of the VPT about it, the Vancouver Police Department, and they're like there was this
Starting point is 00:46:28 chick who was like, oh, well, basically it was just like asking for it, you know, because he just showed up to this thing, and he was standing there quietly with a sign and just trying to say something without saying it. And of course, there's going to be issues, so obviously. And then everybody
Starting point is 00:46:48 in the VBD is mad at the people who are, I would say, very rightly outraged at the way the VPT did not handle the escalation. Like, it doesn't take a rocket Scientologist to look at that situation and say that it's going to escalate when you've got this guy just standing there quietly and then this right in his face with just, you know, the five o'clock shadow and the long blonde ponytail and maybe like the big burly shoulders. Not big enough to win a weightlifting record, but a little bit.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Obviously shit's about to go down. Okay? I'm sorry, this kind of thing gets my goat. Speaking of goats, bleeding heart doesn't read fine print. I can't believe this made the headlines this week other than anyways. Two's dug up some literal gold this week in a couple different places. Here it is. A California woman sold her daughter's peck goat to her.
Starting point is 00:47:48 local county and district state fair, but now she's suing them after they allegedly slaughtered and barbecued it. Jessica Long Purchaseeater. That's it right there. That's the whole story, Sean. Except it isn't. Because then they go on this 500 mile wide
Starting point is 00:48:04 manhunt for a fucking goat. Because, okay, they steal the goat from the fair after they're like, what, it's going to be, what? They're going to kill it? It's going to be, They're not going to just, they're not just going to love it forever for the rest of its life? No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:48:28 That's, that's, it's going on the grill. And they're like, oh, shit. And so they stole the, they stole the goat after it had already been sold. That's Cedar right there, if anybody's wondering. They stole the goat, and then they took it back to their farm, and then they worried that the cops were going to try and track them down. And so they tried hiding it out at like a safe barn, like a safe house, like, like, a safe house, like, They put them in goatness protection program and tried to hide it from the authorities so that the cops wouldn't find them. And then the cops tracked the goat down anyway.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Like, as if you could tell the difference between two stupid fucking goats. And they took it all the way back across like 500 miles to the fair where they're like, okay, we got the goat now. And then they chopped it up and fucking ate it. Parents, the parents are like, can you believe this shit? shit. This is just, like, we sold them the goat and then they paid for the goat and we received the money for the goat but then they wanted to eat it. And then they had the nerve
Starting point is 00:49:37 to steal it back from us after we stole it from them. Of course I had to have this in the mash-up, Sean. They're trying to sue them for eating the goat that they bought. I can't even, I can't even hold it together right now. Like, no kidding around. I liked how they, I mean, it's, you know, anyways, you feel for the little girl because she didn't realize. No, you don't.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I feel a little bit for the little girl. But then when they stole the goat and like, it just, it just became this like wild, like, this is the greatest movie ever. Bonnie and Clydesdale. Like, they can't make this into a movie, too, is it be just freaking hilarious. Like this is a great movie That Jeff Daniels movie with the geese Basically Except like if they all just got shot at the end
Starting point is 00:50:33 I don't think I've laughed I don't think I've laughed this hard on the On the mashup in a long time if ever This article is just is just beautiful Like I mean it's Anyways you can't write something like that Anyways Or maybe maybe this would have been more fitting
Starting point is 00:50:52 I don't know Anyways Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. I have happy news next. Now, you have changed something on me. Am I missing something? Um, so she ain't messing with no brokazis?
Starting point is 00:51:04 No, I don't know how, I don't know. She ain't messing with no brokazis. I don't know what we're talking about. What did you have for happy news? Oh no, she ain't no, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry. Yeah, okay. No, with, okay. But is this, is this the final one?
Starting point is 00:51:19 Because you screwed me up with the light beer and everything. Is there something I'm missing? Okay. There is nothing happy about light beer, Sean. It is an absolute travesty. Happy news, we're at happy news. We're at happy news. I'd like to point out that I said 43 minutes and 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:51:33 We just passed it. Like, son of a bee, you know? Like, twos head to, anyways. Here it is. Okay, she ain't messing with no broke Ozzy. Happy news of the week is an Australian man armed with a budget metal detector has hit the jackpot, finding a 4.6 kilogram rock containing gold worth $240,000.
Starting point is 00:51:51 The man who doesn't want to be named made the discovery in Victoria. where he's gold fields, which were at the heart of Australia's gold rush in the 1800s. Darren Camp, who valued and bought the specimen, said it's the biggest thing he's seen in his 43-year career. He was just gobb-smacked. It's a once-in-a-lifetime find. I, I, I, I, I trekkled at the end of this. It said, all up, the 4.6 kilogram rock contained about 83 ounces or about 2.6 kilograms of gold. And he says the lucky man is looking forward to spending the windfall on his family. He said to me,
Starting point is 00:52:25 oh, the wife will be happy. I bet she will. Yeah. Happy wife, happy life. Right? But, I mean, this is really nice. Actually, one of the listeners, Iceman, sent this to us.

He's like just from the articles and everything like that. He seems way more interesting than Dustin is. Well, I tell you what, I'm sure he would love to come on.

Do flames understand what the playoffs are any more? Terrible audio there? Terrible audio? Sorry. Sorry, you were just, sorry.

And all the brothers are going to be on it once a week. I'm rather looking forward to it. I don't think we'll talk much about the Calgary Flames, though. I don't think they're going to be making. So, Aussie Gold Nugget.

Starting point is 00:54:13 I have fun with them all. Sean couldn't figure his head from his ass for most of the show. I mean... That's because they look the same. Well, that's quite the compliment, because, I mean, I think I'm a good. looking man so I just assume that it goes anyways anyways um hey uh thanks for everybody tuning in we got a couple comments coming in a little late oh um holy crap this is a

Well, I don't know, maybe we just, you know, see if six people want to come hang out with us or something. I don't know.

Well, I'll just take around him shot and he'll be on mine first. Interesting. Interesting. Are we putting a little sidebed on this? Is that what we're doing?

Starting point is 00:58:42 How would this say, you know what's funny? Actually, before we get to this, I'm going to hide this for a second. We must harass the East quite a bit. assume that is that goes without saying I got a text today saying you know Sean there's more Canadians that that we live east of Manitoba as well or something along that lines
Starting point is 00:59:01 because I must be pretty hard on on somebody past Manitoba anyways we got a bunch of listeners out in Ontario twos and we're supposed to you know go a little easier on them and in that type of thing anyways that was the text today say the word I will fly out if I get a seat at your table that's Earl Whaley Earl where are you from too yeah where are you from Where are you flying? Are you too? Are you too? Nearby.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Yeah. Happy news. As we wait for Earl, hopefully, to respond to that before we end this. 49. What do you want to do for 50? What do people want to see on 50? You got any ideas? Ontario.
Starting point is 00:59:37 No shit. There you go. I don't hear that, Earl. What do you want to do on 50? What do you want to do for a year? This is going to be tough. I don't even know. You know what?
Starting point is 00:59:52 I feel like the other... New music. What is it? George and the music. George, we're not having new music. We're not just going to sit here listening to Romstein all day. Although we could play this guy named Paul Brandt, you know, for... Yeah, we've got that in our pocket.
Starting point is 01:00:13 We do have that in our pocket. We haven't pulled that out. So we've been talking about how, you know, maybe it might be interesting to mix up the intro song and, you know, focus on some local music or new music or interesting music or whatever else. And then because Sean and Paul Brandt are best friends. We're not, but we're on speaking terms. Which I'm totally jealous of, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Yeah. So, yeah, we got to go ahead from Paul to use some music for the math. Yeah, to use Alberta Bound. I think that was a song, wasn't it? Well, no, it was kind of a carte blanche. And then we kind of just got paralysis by analysis. Because, you know, you think like, okay, well, yeah, he's got some decent tunes. Then you start going through the catalog and you're like, how the fuck am I going to pick out a perfect
Starting point is 01:00:59 song here, right? It's like trying to pick your favorite kid before they turn five. Well, so the idea, what Tuesday's talking about is that we, instead of playing the same song at the start of every mashup, maybe you could pick out some Canadian artists that want to get their music heard, and this would be a way to showcase it. Anyways, it was an idea we'd thrown it to Paul and Paul loved it, and then we haven't done anything with it, which, yeah, I don't know what to do with that other than George's hassles about new music. And I'm like, what the heck I thought people enjoyed it and I tell you what folks
Starting point is 01:01:32 we do new music twos for sure doesn't get to rant over it because we're gonna all want to listen to it no or rant anyways anyways hey that's just thought and Earl says it's not my fault I identify as an offer and we love you Earl oh man that's gonna wrap it up for 49 isn't it
Starting point is 01:01:50 yeah I think so you know what I said I said 43 and 30 or 44 and 30 I think it was 43 and 30 we're at 54 minutes I've I let us stay long, you know. I mean, there's always a couple minutes at the end. Here's the thing. If you're still listening and you're in Eastern Canada and you come across something where you're like, well, you know what?
Starting point is 01:02:09 That would be interesting for them to talk about because our news gets a little bit more focused on what's more local to us. Throw it our way. Just because we haven't seen it yet doesn't mean, you know, I just by all means, I can't guarantee it'll show up on the show, but if you think something's worth talking about, we're interested in hearing about it. And I tell you what, we will toy with,
Starting point is 01:02:36 I like that to's, and then Zane has said, new artist's debut is an awesome idea for sure. If we get, I don't know, a handful of artists that reach out saying, hey, I would love to showcase my music, we'll start to talk about it. I think, right?
Starting point is 01:02:56 Like, I mean, we've thrown out the idea. Let's see what comes back. Yeah. There's, well, I mean, it's, it's interesting. Like, there's so many awesome bands out there that don't make it big. Like, I remember when I, I live in Sastodun for a few years, and there was a few really cool bands that got nearly big. And then, you know, just, just something never quite happened. But you're like, this is an absolute banger.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Like, these are some awesome tunes. and, you know, they'd be great for a live show, you know, opening for like Wide Mouth Mason and Big Sugar or whatever else kind of thing. And, and then they just, you know, somebody gets married, you know, Billy quit and Joey got married and whatever else, right? And I think it shouldn't be too terribly difficult to find some, you know, decent tunes that get us primed up and ready to go and talk about how stupid this world has become. Okay, call in.
Starting point is 01:03:57 Earl has said call in question mark. We talked about that probably two, three episodes ago, and it's been kind of this like, how much fun would a call-in be? Do you do it on, you know, now I've had people suggesting Twitter spaces. You do it on Twitter space and do it there. But wouldn't it be better just to have a true call-in show?
Starting point is 01:04:17 Well, yes and no. I think that Twitter space would probably be a really easy spot to have it, rather than a call-in show where, I don't know, you've got to try and manage call waiting and just like, okay, you just hit a random button kind of thing. And I think functionally speaking, Twitter spaces would be the easier thing to do. But I don't know if, I'm willing to give it a shot.
Starting point is 01:04:45 I don't know. I want to put more prep into it before I start trying to do something before I've thought it through fully. But I was thinking that we would, would start looking at that after we did the election coverage. Yeah, well, for people still like Too says, hanging on with us here, I agree with Too's, actually. We're taking a look at May 29th.
Starting point is 01:05:07 There's going to be a lot of prep that has to go into that. That's going to take up, while it already is, taking up time as we slowly get closer and closer to it. Because we want something that, you know, when you tune in, it is, you know, it's well done. We don't want to be, you know, a complete mockery, right? Like, obviously we're trying to. What if you?
Starting point is 01:05:24 You tuned in to live election coverage. And it didn't suck. It didn't suck. Yeah. Wow. That's it. So we're going to do that. That's exactly what May 29th is going to be.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Tuesday mashup, election coverage that doesn't suck. I mean, it's like, boom, done. Put it on a billboard. Let's roll. So we're working our way towards that. That's going to take, you know, you think you got, you're like, oh, it's two months away. And let me tell you, in planning these things, that'll go awfully quick. I'd probably put about 40 hours of planning into it already.
Starting point is 01:05:53 And then we got two things now that are percolating. We have a calling idea that I think could carry some water. We just got to figure out how to do it. And then this new artist thing is interesting because right now, as I sit here, Zane says, how about Dallas, Alexander? And he's not wrong. Literally interviewed Dallas. I'm sure Dallas would be over the moon to get his music heard by more people.
Starting point is 01:06:19 He's an Alberta boy. and I have one of his songs on my Spotify playlist, listen to it all the time now, and I think it would be awesome to have that on one of the shows, and it's like, how easy would that be? That's probably text away, I assume. But this is like Tuesday. This takes a little bit of fanning to get it rolling,
Starting point is 01:06:40 and then if it does, maybe after Alberta election coverage, we look into different music things, or maybe I get 50 texts over the course of this week, and we're like, wow, let's just start it and way we go. Who knows? It's one of those things where, I don't know. If there's a lot of push for it, I could be convinced, but I would feel much more comfortable taking my time
Starting point is 01:07:01 and figuring out exactly what I wanted to look like. What is with the sparkles emoji? I never understood that. I don't know, but that's Garden Girl. That's the... Oh, that's Garden Girl. Oh, yes. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Garden Girls giving us the high fives, I think. Hey, Garden Girl. Well, hopefully we didn't butcher it too much for you tonight. There was the show. The show sponsors listen into the show, folks. That's how committed she is to us. Two jackasses at times. Hey, Ariel.
Starting point is 01:07:32 Tuesday's like, what do we do there? What is this about? I'm like, it's Garden Girl. I just looked at the emoji first and I didn't look at the name because you always butcher pronouncing them anyway. You'd be like, yeah, so it's Gerdin Girl. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right. Zane's been all over me via text.
Starting point is 01:07:52 He goes, it took a few weeks to finally break 18 souls watching on the live stream. It's been a slower. We hadn't told anyone we were doing this. On the Facebook thing? Like, on Twitter, I had like 500 people tune in and I announced it 10 minutes before. Yes. Twitter is different, though, because you can, I don't know. Anyways, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:08:11 I'm laughing about it because I get what he's saying. But we haven't announced it. Like, I don't. We don't put out this huge thing and show that this is the thing. own worst enemies on this, Sean. It is true. That's true. It's true. But in saying that, he also said,
Starting point is 01:08:26 love the live election coverage. Let's spread the word and outperform legacy media. That shouldn't be that hard, honestly. I don't think. It shouldn't be that hard either. And it's on a Monday night. We're actually toying with the idea of seeing if any bars will play it. I mean, how great it would it be to sit around, have a few pints and wings and see what the
Starting point is 01:08:46 country, or what the province is going to look like for the next four years. years. I think it's a great idea. Oh, and and she's, Brianna says, I prefer to watch on Rumble so I can close the app, but then I can't comment. Anyways, um, I know what she means. It seems as though you can. Well, you can't. I'm just, I'm just saying like just looking at what's in front of me right now, it appears as though you are able to comment. Uh, uh, anyways. Okay. Well, let's just call it here. Let's call it here. 49. Thanks for tuning in. tonight folks and one year anniversary next week yeah and uh we'll see if we can have a little uh
