Apparently, he just takes it a big breath, and then when he blows it all out, it gets really cold because of thermodynamics. What they never take into account is that when he breathed it all again, it would heat up because of thermodynamics. So then, when he blew it out and it cooled off again, it would just go back to the ambient temperature. Based on hitting up in physics. But the comic helps you do whatever you want. You can make it magic. You can make it aliens. You can name it some quantum thing like a horrible thing.

does every last fucking thing they do. Instead, they're just like, crazy. Is it possible you ran out of things to rant about? You gave me 30 seconds notice that I needed to come up with a rant. You won an opportunity to rant. I gave you an opportunity to rant. You're not ready to go every week to, is that on you. It's like not doing your homework.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I didn't read the article. That's right. But it is something that's been bothering me for years. I missed even what you said. What were you jiver, javer, not a vote? Well, you're just going to have to tune in and listen to it tomorrow. Mashup number...

Do your homework, Sean. Mashup number 50. Can you believe it's been a year? It's our golden anniversary, Sean. Yeah, it's something like that. Mashup 50 marks a full year. And if you're wondering, shouldn't it be 52? We took two weeks off in the first year.

So mashup 50 is brought to you by Garden, girl.ca. That's Ariel out of Regina, Saskatchewan. And we're coming live this morning, bright and early, because Sean's leaving on holidays and Tuesday being a jam and working around my schedule. So going back to Garden Girl, her little business here, here's something new for you. You wouldn't have saw this. She won Regina Chamber of Commerce Award this past week for a new business venture. Good for her. Yeah, presented to a business that has expanded into new areas or developed new products or services. She started out of her garage. And in five years, she's growing to an all-year shop,

greenhouse garden center with tree, shrubs, perennials. She says, you get the point and ship seeds across Canada. How's that? That was good. And I saw what you did the aerial. That was perfect. That's hurt my brain. Okay.

So first, in the show notes, you can get 15% discount on any seeds bulbs for any listeners, discount code mashup, and, of course, she ships across Canada. so it's written the show notes you can do that anytime but Ariel want to have a little fun for a year of the mashup so she's giving away a hundred dollars a dollar seed pack winner gets to choose what they want and so what we're going to do is if you're interested in that text the the phone number and the show notes Garden Girl followed by where you're listening from so I want to know where all these different people are tuning in from so that's text Garden Girl and where you're listening from you're listening from and we'll announce the winner next week on mashup 51. Hey. And let's just talk about this for a minute. This is how cool these people that are working with us are, specifically this time, Ariel. She was listening to the show last week and she said, well, if you guys have your one year anniversary

coming up and I'm already sponsoring the show, what if I did something cool? And this was completely her idea just above and beyond. these are the kind of great people that you can support. And so, yeah, if you've got any dirt, you should buy something from Garden Girl to put in it. Yeah, and she did also comment to me in an email that people have been tuning in from all over the place, and she's gotten reached out to by several, and she said you guys have a really cool audience. And so something to be very proud of. I was laughing.

I'm like, yeah, well, I mean, you're one of them, right? You're in this interesting group of people from across not only Canada, but we know Vance Crow is driving to work, bouncing along in St. Louis, too. So there's people from all over. And, you know, Quebec, if you're listening, hey, we're just curious. Quebec, and it's absolute bull cheat that you're not texting in to say that you're listening in from Quebec. A couple of, I sent, we got a couple of texts through last week, and I thought I haven't brought up anything from the listeners in a while,

so I thought maybe before we started here on a year. We had a text come in and said, guys, I'm dying, this fucking goat story. Sean, your laugh makes me laugh, so contagious. Anyways, I hate that intro song. I love the idea of showcasing Canadian talent each week. I didn't realize nobody liked the song. That kind of shocked me.

Anyways, George got all over us last week about the song. Maybe people can send suggestions of their favorite unheard Canadian artists, artists and I love the call-in show Twitter space idea to have you looked at using Instagram that was from Jessica from Erdry anyways so a lot of people enjoying several of the different ideas that were thrown around last week and then yeah anyways yeah that's perfect that's that's right in my backyard practically actually if it's the Jessica I'm thinking of I think I talked to her husband about some of the finer points when I was buying this house.

So, yeah. This is leave from Manitoba. Well, brothers round table, we talked about Brothers Roundtable. Yeah. We'll be coming back for,

for the playoffs. Ammonton Oilers, a playoff run. Not the Calgary Flames, is they continue to be abysmal. I can't even, you know, abysmal.

Will Brothers roundtable on Tuesday, well, twos is golfing? And where did Tews get the handle from? Is it because he only has two natural teeth left? or maybe because his girlfriends, his first two girlfriends were his cousins, or maybe it's the two extra nipples he has growing on his armpits.

That's from Lee. It was all for the hillbilly joke you did last week on Manitobans. He wasn't too happy. I mean, he said having an awesome day. I think he was chuckling along the way. Well, I mean, I think it's great that we've now got cellular phone technology with text inputs so that you can actually send text messages without knowing how to read. Oh, man.

Um, really, we can do this at the end. I want for your brain or for anyone, uh, that's tuning in on the live stream, what has been your favorite memory from a year of the mashup? We can talk about at the end. And saying that, we're going to start now. Uh, we got 13 to get through, which supposedly is 26 minutes, except I know a couple in here. And I'm saying there ain't no way we're shy of 42 minutes this week.

42 minutes is my guess. With that being said, I'm going to hit the timer. And, uh, let's, uh, let's, uh, I hope they don't get on your bubbles. Shit on you? Who? Shit-hawks. Big dirty shit-hawks. It's becoming part of the NDP are not a serious party.

I don't even know where do you want to start here. How about the first one about fat phobia? Oscar win for the whale. That was Brendan Fraser's movie. A fat suit is just blackface in another context. That was one of the NDP. Talking about that, then Rachel Notley was insured Park on Tuesday to make a major transportation announcement unveiling a campaign promised to create an interchange at Highway 15 and Highway 830 near Scotford, which is, you know, just outside Ammonton, essentially. And the UCP members quickly took issue with the announcement.

Because it's already happening? Our government has- This is the exact same thing as when their platform in 2019 was, you know, in an effort to make up for how badly they had. handled the Fort McMurray wildfire that burned down the city. And literally that afternoon, she was giving Brian Jean hell in legislature for being a fearmonger. And then his house burned down three hours later. Yeah, to try and just make up for that, they said, okay, well, what if we set up a second highway coming out of Fort McMurray so that we were better able to evacuate the next time we don't give a shit that it's burning down.

And the beauty of that is that she's obviously never checked it out because there's already two highways going south out of Fort McMurray. There's a 63 and the 8-81. So you go to Laclabish with one, you go a real ass backwards, you know, a roundabout way to get to Edmonton with the other. And that's, so she literally ran on a platform

for something that already existed. I mean, like, okay, vote for the NDP, and we will invent these cool new things called oranges. I'm looking at the next one. I'm just like, do I carry on with the NDP or can we just move on? I mean, we can we move on? Do you want the other part of this, the Gailen Weston? Well, there's the Gailen Weston, and then there's the fat suit?

The fat suit. Yep, okay. So Gailen Weston, I mean, this guy. I assume, I assume, before we, let's preface this, the whale, is a new movie with Brett and Fraser where he wears a giant like the whole thing is like

he like puts on a giant fat suit anyways yes this isn't new this has been done before anyways he wins he wins in awards of Ford carry on and so

a member of the legislature's legislative assembly in BC is saying that it's basically cultural appropriation and it's fat face and it's just it's a really heavy issue

right and i mean like there's a lot of chunks to get through there's a lot to digest when it comes to this this topic and this fucking idiot shot he gets up in front of the legislature and these poor bastards sitting around him have to sit there with a stone cold just poker face and not think what the hell did we do in getting this guy on our team do we need any more in that i don't think Okay, here we go. Making parole a breeze for a cop killer. This is cop killer Jeffrey Breeze, who was not only granted full parole

for the 1982 deadly shootings of OPP officer Rick Hopkins. He was also able to get the assistance afforded to indigenous applicants before parole board. Only Breeze is not indigenous. It seems Canada justice system in 2023, not only can convicted criminals demand to be treated as opposite sex, even served their time in institutions, housing adults opposite to their gender they were born with.

They can now also identify as being Aboriginal Canadians. This has helped, used by Breeze, who was granted full parole by the Parole Board of Canada this month, 41 years after committing the heinous crime that stole the 31-year-old husband and father of two away from his family. Steve Coppkins said this is extremely disappointing for us to witness members of the parole board, sitting in a circle in prayer and holding hands with the murderer that killed his dad. He also said we traveled across country, feeling anxiety and stress

only to hear a member of the parole board tell the murder that he will always have to live with knowing he killed the little girl. Yes, you heard that right. Yeah, the parole board got it wrong. Didn't even look at the fucking case. Yes. When everyone else knew in the room,

the victim was a police officer. So I... Yeah. Yeah. And it's no... Like, I went and checked. I was like, well, maybe, maybe it was just that he killed a little girl. And then, you know, on the, nope, no, no, no.

The only person he killed was the cop. Yeah. And so they, this was just a dog and pony show. They didn't care about anything else other than just, oh, this person now is part of the indigenous culture. And so we're going to grant him parole. Okay, but let's look at what he did. No, no, no, that's not what it's important. He's getting out today.

Okay, but do we want to just check in? and see if maybe he did something really bad. No, no. And so anyways, I am not a lawyer. I am not a criminal defense expert. But I would strongly recommend that anybody who is facing any sort of charges claim indigenous ancestry

and that they're a woman and that this should absolutely continue until everybody gets so fed up with it that we just stop doing it all together. Because the only way this is going to stop is if it reaches a tipping point. And so a speeding ticket. I'm indigenous.

Jaywalking. I'm a woman. Just keep going. Just point out how stupid and ludicrous this all is until it absolutely implodes because otherwise it's never going to go away. And let's be clear, this needs to go away. Can I ask you a question on a serious note?

If you kill a cop or anyone, should you ever get out? Like, can you, be like, I've made amends at some point? It's been 41 years. Is that long enough or it's not? That depends on what you think the penal system is for. If you think it's to protect the public from the people who commit crimes, then it's reasonable to say that once they've repented and they're unlikely to do it again, that it's safe to let them out. If you think that it's punishment, well, then you've got to decide what the appropriate punishment is. And I would

would say, you know, if you took away that person's entire life and fucked up their entire family, the rest of your life is actually a pretty easy deal for you. And you should be happy that you're getting it and never come out. And if you, the other perspective, I would say is if you want to have it as, as a deterrent for other people who may be considering doing something like this or getting themselves into a situation where that might end up happening, and you say, okay, well, you know what, I don't really want to commit this burglary. but if it goes wrong and I kill a cop,

I'm really only out in like a couple years. So whatever, let's make it happen, right? And so that's, you have to decide what you think the penal system is best suited for. And I imagine that most people would say it's some combination of the three. But generally speaking, I would say for anything like this, if you do something that irrevocably derails somebody, his life, whether permanently or mentally or whatever else, that's it.

You're done. I don't ever want to see you again. At some point, you have to think that they can turn a page or something. What's unnerving about this man in particular was that he bragged about killing the cop and things like that. And I'm like, oh, now it's been 41 years and maybe he's seen the pain of his ways. Yeah. But when you read the story, it was pretty gruesome.

I'm not interested in hearing about some guy who turned a page on that. I just want to hear that he eventually, it was such shitty conditions in that prison that he died at 31 of rheumatoid arthritis. Okay, well, there's two, if he gets a hold of our justice system. There you go, folks. Okay. We like to say people kind, not necessarily mankind, more inclusive. We go. Exactly.

Yes, thank you. And the budget will balance itself. Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense. No offense. I was just saying earlier this week, you know, this country is led by an idiot. Obviously, we're talking about Justin Trudeau. I was just saying earlier this week, man, Justin, Justin, Jim Carrey would be a fantastic

interview. That's a side note. here we are. Oh, he would go so crazy. Yeah, that's what Dust said. He goes so crazy. I'm like, I don't know, man. I remember thinking Tom Carouse sounded crazy.

You go back to listen to some of what he says. You're like, oh, that's actually a bang on button. And Jim Carrey is just profound. The blink 182 guy, remember when he did that interview with Joe Rogan that just went absolutely off the rails? Then he got up in the middle, just went to take a leak. And then Joe looks over at Jamie. He's like, what the fuck is going on? You should totally interview the Blink 182 guy.

I found that to be wholly entertaining. I mean, it's kind of a Boyd-Anderson type thing. How about this? I never look at my phone while we're doing this. Garden Girl got texted Moose Jaw. So somebody's on top of it here trying to get in on the drop for Ariel. Don't mock around. How are you doing?

Anyways, okay, this country's led by an idiot. Where do you want to start? You want to start with the, the, the, confident economies invest in themselves, and that was Trudeau's video talking about credit card debt. You should spend it on televisions and... Yeah, well, he was just talking about how if you spend it all on a big screen TV for your basement, which is pretty cocky to assume that people can afford things like basements in this economy, but he said that you're going to be paying it off for a long time.

But if you do something like pay for tuition with it, or if you, you know, do it, you know, do an investment, then then that's a little bit different. The thing about it is, is what's the going rate for a credit card, like 20% interest? So basically, they're barely keeping up with inflation. But the point is, is that it's the most irresponsible way you can borrow money short of loan sharking. See, and I laughed about it in a different way. He literally said confident economies invest in themselves. Meanwhile, in his own country, he doesn't do that.

Investment is fleeing Canada. He's literally like shutting down his economy, right? I just, I mean, like at this point, when he says that, I'm like, this is, this is rather comical. It's a cell phone on multiple levels. Yes. The other part of this is the rapporteur, David Johnson. He's, you know, it's been an article breaking down essentially what he's going to be assigned to do over the course of, his stint there. Anyways, additional intel on what foreign interference special rapporteur,

David Johnson, will be empowered to dig into access in terms of secret documents has been made public, as is per DM for what's being described as a part-time role. According to one of the ordering counselor documents, Johnson is being employed on a part-time basis between March 15th and December 12th. It states his per-diam pay, that's per-day, within the range of 14 to 16th, $1,600 a day. $14 to $1,600 per day. Just saying, Sean put his hand up to be rapporteur. We'll dig into some things here.

Just saying. Tuesday mashup. We'll do it together. Me and Tuesday. Anyway, I'll work 16-hour days. I'll work a 16-hour day for 14 to $1,600 a day plus expenses. They don't want us to dig it into that. Yeah, here it covers travel and living expense in Canada.

And his support staff. Cost of expert staff as required and other reasonable expenses as necessary. Bribes. That's the suitcase full of money that you give to deep throat so that you can get the Mogadishu intelligence that you can eventually tie back to the Chinese regime. Oh, man. Yeah, he's going to have to put it an expense report for a suitcase full of cash at some point. It goes on to talk about what he's supposed to be doing.

And it's like, literally CIS has given you the, like, here it is. Here it is. And he's going to spend, you know, a ton of taxpayer dollars getting paid to. And then he'll be like, yeah, it's everything they said. It's everything. This is when when the conservatives in 2015 said they weren't going to do another investigation into missing and murdered indigenous women. And they absolutely dropped the ball on the coverage on this.

but they basically were trying to say there's like 50 of them already. If you want us to do more of them, what stone should we look at that hasn't been turned over yet? What direction should we go that these other 50 reports haven't looked at? And I mean, if you want to, we can amalgamate them, I guess. But to say that we're going to do this big multimillion dollar inquiry into something that's already been exhaustively researched, seems like a waste of taxpayer dollars. and what they should have done was just said, what do you want to see that that isn't there? And instead they're just like, oh, we're going to hide from the media

because we are scared of them. And not that. I don't know why they're scared of them. They don't ask them any tough questions anyways. So, you know, insane. Well, it's not so much, it's not so much the lack of tough questions that get asked. It's that they, the intentionally dishonest coverage of them.

Here's a couple things. Anthony Murray said, Tews, don't forget your bud light. What do you think's in here? Oh, I can't open my mouth. Morning boys, it's Earl Whaley again from Oil Country, Ontario, Sarnia. Good to have a couple of other fans. We all know he ain't cheering for the Calgary Flames.

and Murray Cochran chimed in saying an eye for an eye. That's going back to, yes, to parole. Okay. Liberals dust off old faithful to hold back Alberta's UCP. Former Prime Minister Jean Crechanne derided the Alberta UCP for using the federal liberal government as a punching bag in its provincial election strategy. The UCP has tied NDP leader, Rachel not lead to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and federal NDP. leader Jagmeet Singh, insisting the three-form an anti-Alberta alliance.

But Kretchen, who served as Canada's 20th Prime Minister from 93 to 2003, said Alberta has little to complain about under the current federal government, and that assailing it to undermine Notley is misguided. Obviously, he doesn't listen to the mashup. He's quoted as saying it's always a sport that they do, and they should look at it the reality. He was in Calgary on Thursday visiting George Cheyhill, the only liberal MP in the city, and then he went on to say,

I've been in public life since 56, and it's the first time the problem, it's the first time the problem we have is not the creation of jobs, but having people fill jobs, so why do they have something to explain about? I'm embarrassed at all to be in Alberta. Or I'm not embarrassed.

I'm not embarrassed. Okay. I can't even read, you know, I couldn't understand, Kretchen when he was the prime minister. I can't even read. All right.

So let's just break this down real quick for everybody. Paying attention at home. Okay. So the liberal government sends the former liberal prime minister to Alberta, leading up to an election to speak to Albertans about how the liberal government is not meddling in Albertan affairs. They're kind of making the point against them on their own.

I get the fact that they're liberals and they're stupid and they're entitled. and they don't think big picture. They don't even think medium picture. They don't even think postage stamp. But this is a huge self-owned. And I don't know why anybody else isn't pointing to how obviously this whole thing is. Okay. So, I mean, here's the thing is they don't want the conservatives to win.

But they're going through a bit of a crisis. They got what, 532. Oh, no, wait. Saskatch when they got something like 532 votes in the last. election and whatever it was in in Alberta i don't even know if they have a leader that the uh provincial liberal party was having trouble a few months ago finding they're like we will take anyone does anyone anyone anyone want to be in charge of the liberal party in albara actually that's where corey mortgage should have stepped up and been like i believe i may be of assistance

that would have been great but yeah and so like this is they don't want the UCP to win and honestly could there ever be a more ringing endorsement for them really like we are the party that the liberals don't want in charge i'll vote for you three times can we talk about can we we we we got to switch over to gondack i mean that was maybe one of the greatest videos i've seen on social media in the last one where she walked away yeah yeah so a questioner which is Keenan Bexton, asked Gondack a question, saying the mayor fought tooth and nail against increasing the police budget

and actively supported defund the police rhetoric. And voted for it. When did she realize, this is his question, when did she realize it was important to fund the police and how can Calgarians trust her when she flip-flops on the basics like public safety? And if you watch the video, she sits there for what, like a hot second

and just turns around and goes and stands back. Yeah, she just walks away from the podium without saying anything. Okay, in her very, very, very, very, very minimal defense. It was, it, it was a fair question, but it was delivered more as a sound bite for Kean than it was an actual question that he was wanting to hear an answer to. So there's, there's the tiny little bit of defense I'll give her. It's an absolutely fair question and she should have fucking answered it. And it's just classic them, well, we're not going to answer to.

media that that doesn't get in line with us. And here's a picture of them. Well, you know what? It's finally that they're taking it to this level of seriousness, Sean. They're going to start trampling people who smoke meth in the train stations, apparently. For the people listening, we got a picture of the rail in downtown Calgary with two mounted police walking through the, you know, the people sitting on the benches, right?

This is how that guy ended up. in jail in the movie half-baked. This is literally how it started. They're going to get that horse stoned. Then it's going to get the munchies. They're going to find out that the horse is diabetic, and now they're going to be in jail as cop killers. And they'll have to turn indigenous to be able to get out

because that's the justice system that we live in. Earl Whaley says, I will infiltrate, I mean, lead the liberals, L.O.L. The last thing we need is more Laurentian elites in Alberta politics, Earl. Oh, man. Sound bite or not, for, I tell you what, that, that video of,

of Gondack, that was, that was just, it was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was great. Anyways, that's me. And the best thing is that it's going to get to the point where they can't avoid that stuff anymore. And unless it's, it's going to tie right into what we're about to talk about. Until somebody stands up and starts doing the right thing

in their job. Nothing's going to change. Sean, what's our next topic? Female athletes have bigger balls than trans men. There's a whole bunch of articles. I'll start to, I'll rattle off a couple here, and we can go whichever way to prefers. First, a biologically male cyclist who now identifies as a female

was barred from competing in a women's championship race this weekend following threats of boycott from female competitors. Emily Bridges, who formerly competed against men as Zach Bridges, was cut from the women's British national, Omnium Championship on Saturday. This would have been Bridges' first race against women. The athlete only began hormone therapy last year, according to the BBC. Bridge was determined ineligible to compete by the UCI cycling governing body after women threatened to boycott the race.

And then, of course, if you've been paying attention to Riley Gaines because she came out with testimony about losing, well, actually tying, and then not getting the trophy because she wasn't trans. they wanted the photo. Anyways, if you haven't seen that video, you should. While now, she's threatened to take legal action after saying she was assaulted by trans rights protesters. Once again, if you haven't seen that video, go watch that thing because it's a little bit wild. During a speech about protecting women's sports at San Francisco State University, the campus place did nothing. The dean of students was there and did nothing. There will be no repercussions unless I have something to do with it. She said, I quoted her saying in one of the videos,

It wouldn't even be peaceful in an alternative universe because that's what they're saying. It was a peaceful protest by trans activists. She said it wouldn't even be peaceful in an alternative universe. She was barricaded in her room for three hours with police. Yeah. And they were saying, give us money and we'll let you out, which is kidnapping. But I will say that they are consistent when it comes to labeling protests peaceful. I mean, if you remember CNN a few years ago, like standing next to like,

buildings burning down. I mean, like, while I'm coming to you alive from Kenosha, Wisconsin, where we've got a mostly peaceful protest behind us. Like, everybody's just holding hands around this burnings building. Everything's been peaceful except for this one in Ottawa, you know? That one was...

That one in Ottawa, you know? Yeah, but they really stamped that one out, Sean. I wonder if that's the same horse. What do you think? Do you think that's the same horse? Probably. And then when that horse eventually retires and dies, they're going to turn it into glue. And then it's going to come back in brown paper bags to Calgary Transit, and people are going to be huffing it.

And just the circle of life is going to continue. Oh, man. The tweet I pulled up said the university VP commended the trans activists for their tremendous bravery and described them as behaving peacefully. They also offered support to the violent mob who assaulted. Riley with campus resources to help them process and begin to heal. And I'm telling you, if you watch the video of her getting chased down the hallway with cops protecting her and everything else, you're like, this is wild. Well, here's the thing, Sean. They're not women, they're trans women, and they're not peaceful.

They're trans peaceful. Oh, man, I don't even have a cute. There you go, too. There you go. All right. Earl's having fun this morning. You know? Elite, yeah, elite, yep, that is me, elite trucker.

We had a trucker listening from Ontario. An even fuller 18 guy, I imagine. I hope you're not driving and watching this, Earl. I hope you're sitting at home with your feet on the couch. Anyways, that's me. Okay, here we go. There goes the galactic neighborhood. Okay, let's pull this up here before I, here we go.

There is your astronauts going to the moon. it says for the first time ever a woman, a person of color, a Canadian will go into deep space and to the moon. So I mean they're checking all the minority boxes here. Canadian, person of color, and a woman. I guess they're just going to pander

to any special interest group out there now, Sean, aren't they? I mean, they've been doing it now too for as long as we've been doing the show. So for a full year... But now Canadians are part of those too, right? Uh, here's the thing though, right? When, when, when you're saying you specifically need a woman to round out the cast of this clown show, right? Okay.

You're, you're specifically picking them on sex. You're being sexist in that. So if you're already being sexist and picking them, does that mean that your selection criteria was also sexist? It was just like, okay, well, we're not going to have to parallel park this thing so we can have a woman drive it. Or, or are they going to be like, you know, part of the, the mission briefing for them? this is going to be like, no, we're not stopping anywhere along the way. But what if we need to ask for directions?

Like, great, we're going to get the first space, like quantum sandwich. Right? I mean, like, here's the thing, is if they're going to be sexist, how sexist did they get? And I don't think it's unfair of me to ask that.

Like, ooh, has that space soup been freshly ironed? I agree, Sarylund. Parallel Park and she laughed. That was well, that was well played too. Even for you after a year, that was, that was well done. Dictatorship unveiled. In a further attempt to rein in an increasing number

of women defying the compulsory dress code, Iranian authorities are installing cameras in public places and thoroughfares to identify and penalize unveiled women the police announced on Saturday. After they had been identified, violators will receive warning text messages as to the consequences.

Police said in a statement, the move is aimed at preventing resistance against the hijab law, said the statement carried by the judiciary, Mizan's news agency and other state media, adding the such resistance tarnishes the country's spiritual image and spreads insecurity. A growing number of Iranian women

have been ditching their veils since the death of the 22-year-old Kurdish woman in the custody of Morale police last September. That was Mahas Amini had been detained for allegedly violating the hijab rule. Security forces violently put down the revolt under Iran's Islamic Sharia law imposed after the 1979 Revolution women are obliged to cover their hair and wear long, loose fitting clothes to disguise their figure. Violators have faced public rebuke, fines, or arrest, and, you know, describing the veil as one of the civilizational foundations of Iranian nation

and one of the practical principles of the Islamic Republic and Interior Ministry statement said on March 30th that there will be no retreat, no retreat on this issue. Don't you just love government overreach? Personally, I think it's great that we're supporting a country like this by importing a bunch of oil from them, Sean. and I you know I the hijab ban thing is an interesting topic in Quebec because they say you know what women should be able to choose you know kind of like abortion or vaccinations maybe right but but god forbid you want to walk around in the Middle East

like the hottest place in the world in a pair of shorts it's it's just it's absolutely baffling that there's just it's like they're wearing a hijab themselves they're like i don't see anything wrong with any of this whenever any of this stuff happens could you imagine if that woman flying to the moon was wearing a hijab over a space suit right into it you know it's it's uh for me you know and i'm people always laugh at me you got twos who's just uh fire and brimstone and chans's always sitting there going eh i'm going I go back to Canada and what you just said about us importing oil and supporting all that. Meanwhile, we just like absolutely just, you know, support our economy.

No, we're going to just like hammer it down. We're just going to do continually insane things. And then you read an article like this, I don't understand it. Don't live there. Don't understand it. To have a hard time getting into it, the fact they got a police force that's, you know, it just sounds like not where we're going in the sense of covering women up. But like as far as state media having a police force that's like going to be in this,

monitoring everything we do, I'm like, oh yeah, I mean, like to me in the article, I'm like, that sticks out. Like all these things is where Canada wants to go. Maybe not the covering of women, but certainly all the ways they're going to try and enforce it on a population. Yep. But it's okay. We'll actually save, we're actually saving taxpayers by doing this because they don't need to set up cameras in our houses. they could just tune in every week.

Inflation is not always a bad thing. The perspective on these people, Sean, I'm going to try to keep this together. A coalition of lawyers and academics, including experts on ethics, is urging MPs to oppose plans to water down rules for lobbyists who have been worked, who have worked on political campaigns. They warned that an imminent change to the lobbying code of conduct could allow people to fundraise for a politician and work on their campaign and then lobby them soon afterwards.

Current rules prevent the lobbying of elected officials by people who have worked on their political campaigns for a four-year cooling off period. The proposed update to the code from Lobbying Commissioner Nancy Blanche reduces this period to either one or two years depending on the significance of the role the lobbyist played. High-profile campaign work trigger a 24-month ban, while other political work would lead to a one-year wait. The commissioner would also have discretion

to reduce the cooling-off period further in certain cases. She went on to say, she told the Globe Mail that she has made the recommendations after receiving legal opinions that the current four-year limit could breach. the Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. She called the shorter cooling off periods reasonable and appropriate. And then, of course, on the flip side, more than 40 experts,

including 15 laws, 26 law and political and ethics professors from across Canada, wrote to the Commons Ethics Committee this week saying that a minimum of four-year prohibition on lobbying after significant political activities or fundraising is compliant with the charter and like they need to justify that anyways and necessarily to protect integrity and government and policy making. Anyways. Okay.

So, all right. Here's the Cole's notes. First off, they said that they wanted to loosen the lobbying requirements. They've got experts from multiple disciplines all across Canada is saying, no, you don't and no, you should not. And they've got this, what, 12, 13 people panel.

That's mostly, liberals and conservatives with one block and one NDP. It's 11. It's 11. 11 people. Okay. Five of them are liberals. One NDP, which gives them majority. You have four conservatives and one block. Oh, the NDP isn't what gives them the majority here, Sean.

This is the only time that I have ever seen anyone in the NDP do anything halfway decent. Matthew Green is the only person on this whole committee, including the conservatives, who is speaking out against this. They get their majority from the conservatives. And to be totally cynical about this, the only reason why the NDP aren't on board with it is because

they don't have a reasonable hope of ever taking advantage of being catered to by lobbyists. Thank you for pointing that out. I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have, I guess I wouldn't have expected me to say that? No, actually, because one of the things that, and I forget

what year it is, how long ago it was, but donation limits in the United States to bring in, they, they scrapped it. So now you can, anyways. So when you talk about this, I'm like, this feels really American where both the main parties want it because it will help them succeed. That's the way they look at it. It's more free stuff for them. I mean, the other article that I linked, or it, and it's also linked in that new one, was one

from about six months ago, where basically they're saying that the current spending limits of $200 and then. It's not enough. 30. Yeah, because you can't really buy anything with that nowadays. Well, this is a problem that you jackass has created. And now the lobbyists are ineffective because it takes more money to buy you off, but the money's worthless?

Oh, no. What will we ever do? Let's just change the laws. Like, maybe we could just back up a second and fix the problem. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We'll just let them give us more stuff. people in Canada can't afford anything because inflation's so high how can we fix that we'll make it so the lobbyists can bribe us

oh shit and this is this is polyev's team this is this is the establishment bullshit part of the conservatives that people hate but they're scared to talk about openly because it's taboo to shit talk your party you know what if you are conservative and you're not talking about this,

you need to straighten up a little bit and take stock yourself because there's no point in having a party in charge that's no better or worse than the last guy. That's why Erno Toul lost. When you're willing to do anything to win, you sacrifice everything along the way. Saskatchewan pulls a trigger on firearms independence. The provincial government passes.

the Saskatchewan Firearms Act on Thursday, a move aimed at improving public safety and protecting the rights of lawful gun owners. According to the Saskatchewan Firearms Officers, the Act sets up a provincial firearms regulatory system to promote the safe and responsible use of firearms. The Act also takes steps to minimize the impact of federal gun bans on lawful gun owners by establishing licensing requirements for seizure agents involved in firearms expropriation. The Ministry said the legislation will also require, and oversee fair compensation. Can we talk about this for just two seconds? Fair compensation if any guns are seized and require forensic and ballistic testing for any seized guns.

When I read that, I read, so you're going to allow them to seize guns. You're just going to make sure they get paid fairly for it. Am I reading that right? That's kind of what it sounds like. Now, this is interesting because, I mean, there was another article. We didn't talk about it this week.

Maybe we should have. where Mo is just saying how more or less his hands are tied with working with the feds in health care. And so they're just trying to get the best of shitty deals more or less out of it rather than just standing up to them and say, look, we're not going to play this game anymore. And this is this is kind of just this. Scott Moe's in an interesting place. And I've said this before where all he needs to do is just keep the boat moving down the river. He doesn't need to paddle. he just needs to not hit the bank

and that's all he's got to do and so he doesn't want to presumably align himself too much with say Daniel Smith who's actually saying you know what we need what the federal government wants to do doesn't work for Alberta we need our own solutions we're going to find them he's like well

we're going to just dip our toes a little bit into that we're going to act like we're doing it but in fact we're not doing it yeah that's that's really what it looks like and I mean he can explain this a little bit better if he wants to but for the moment it looks like just added bureaucracy to do what the feds want anyways under the guise of protecting the people that actually pay his goddamn salary

what we want is added bureaucracy you know somehow they're going to find a way to make some more money on it wasn't it uh yeah it didn't it didn't do the there it is it was just just the first one okay i guess so climate change is a home run oh boy here we go climate change is making major league sluggers even into hotter hitters sending an extra 50 or so home runs a year over the fences a new study found hotter thinner air that allows balls to fly farther contributed a tiny bit to a surge in home runs since 2010 according to statistical analysis by new hampshers Dartmouth college scientists published in friday's bulletin of the american meteorological society they analyzed 100,000 major league games and more than two

200,000 balls put into the play in the last few years, along with the weather conditions, stadiums, and other factors. And quoted, global warming is juicing home runs in Major League Baseball, its basic physics. And then it went on, there was different parts of the article. It said, non-climate factors contribute even more to the barrage of balls flying out of the park scientists and baseball veterans said, anyways, the biggest is the ball and the size of the stitches. Anyways, I'm going to pull up this for you to's.

I'm curious what you want to say about climate change in baseball. Well, I mean, it takes a lot of balls to try and put something this bad together. All right. So the far left is home run trend, and it goes from 1960 to 2020. And then the middle one is ballpark temperature trend. Okay. Now, the interesting thing is I'm not sure if you've ever heard of the pause or the long pause when it comes to climate change, but between 1998 and 2012, it was flatline.

There was no change. And yet, between 1998 and 2012, you probably had the biggest year-over-year swings in the home run trend, a part of the graph. Like the slope, the positive and negative slopes in that particular part of the graph are going to be the highest out of any of it. but that was the years when when global temperatures weren't changing now I mean there's there's so many you should always get suspicious whenever you're looking at these things and they don't ask the obvious questions first ones I would ask are what what's the percentage of daytime

games um you know over time and I looked I did a couple of Google searches I couldn't find anything for that but that'd be the first question I would ask because I mean like if if there's if the amount of daytime games slowly trended upwards and it just matched with this perfectly, well, there's your answer, right? And intuitively it does make sense. But now you see, the questions I would ask is I would want to work on a repeatable experiment for

determining how much further a ball does or does not travel depending on the ambient temperature and its effect on air density, right? Because, I mean, if we're looking at a global change in the next 50 years of, one degree. Well, then presumably we're looking at a 50th of a degree change in one year, but we're seeing more than a 50th degree or 50th of one change in, in home runs, right? So, I mean, the concepts aren't lining up and there's no science back in it.

It's just, yeah, yeah, nothing to do with better condition athletes and improve bats. And, and I mean, you know, I mean, look at, look at, look at, Is Barry Bonds in here anywhere? Look at, I mean, I don't have to go to baseball. Look at, look at NHL and just look at Connor McDavid, right? And what he's done this season. He's a freak of nature in a game that is so different compared to, you know, 20 years ago,

let alone 50 years ago when someone's great's play. Climate change is affecting the air density, and it's allowing him to shoot the puck harder. That's right. Well, I mean, it's interesting because I was like, oh, okay, well, how many more home runs are they talking about here? So like I did a quick, the lovely thing about baseball twos. So many stats. So many stats. So I did a quick Google search.

I'm like, all right, give me the history of how many home runs each year. So 1998, which is considered roughly the height of the steroid era, you had 5,000. 5,064. That's when McGuire hit his 70. And 2001, so three years later, it was 400 more, 54, 58. That's when Bonds hits his 73. Okay. In 2019, there was 6,700, so that is high.

That was the high mark out of the last 20 years. Yeah. But the last two... Out of ever. But the last year, so this, like the full last year, so 20 years ago, or 1998, 5,000. 222, 5200, 5250. I'm like, okay.

So who's paying for this study? And why have we implemented climate change into another sport? Well, it's just, it's become a part of everything. The same thing where it's just, you know what? This is a climate home run. Well, that's the thing. And they're trying to steal a base on us. The scientist, the article literally says the scientists can't point to a single homer

and say that it's a warming-aided home run. And that's the interesting thing. Why are we doing this? You can look at the lengths of the home runs and say, okay, well, you know what? Because here's the obvious question is how much further would a ball go depending on the change in density, okay? And then given a 0.02 change in ambient temperature, how much further would that ball go? And if the answer is three inches, then you would say, okay, home runs that were within three inches of not being home runs are now ones that you can attribute to this. Instead, they purposely looked at aggregate data based on lazy methodology to come up with the shittiest version of the answer possible.

And that's the kind of stuff that you would expect from the liberals. You know, I want some sports on the mashup. I just want it to be stuff that I'm actually excited to talk about. Instead of it being like. Like women's volleyball. Sure. Except for when it's climate change introducing into baseball, how it's somehow juicing the ball. Like, give me a flipping break.

Okay, here's the, okay, here's the thing is if you could reliably get an extra 50 home runs based on the time of day and whatever else. Baseball would figure it out and they would do it. They absolutely, absolutely. Like when they water down specific parts of the infield so that you've got the lanes where you can get better grounders and then the like if the whole team always. The whole team always statistics too. They are, they are money ball. Like I mean, geez, Louise. They don't even get me started on money ball, buddy.

They figure it out and they go, yeah, boom, boom, boom, boom. Well, they use linear regression to look at positive correlation between on-base percentage and win rate, okay? And here's the thing is like when you take groundskeeping, like when you learn to become a golf course superintendent, you literally take an entire course on how to manage a baseball diamond and how to work with the management team to set it up differently week on week, to give them a better chance of winning. You think it's just a home team advantage

because people cheer for them more? Fuck, no. It's because they set the diamond up in ways that the other team can't see and doesn't know about so that they can better win. Anyways, a strike I can get behind the union representing...

Speaking of strikes. The union representing 35,000 Canada revenue agency service workers voted overwhelmingly to strike Friday according to a release sent to CTV news. Union members who work at the CRA will be in a legal strike position as of April 14th. The strike could cause delays from Canadians filing their 2022 taxes by May 1 deadline. This is perfect.

The government has one main revenue inflow, and that is revenue Canada, right? Okay. So they get most of their money, I assume there's some weird kind of. of back channels and shit like that. But generally speaking, they get their money all coming in through one agency. And then they let it unionize.

They give the unions more and more power, which gives them less and less room to bargain with them. And then all of a sudden it's, man, they basically set up themselves their own extortion racket working against them. And now, and now the mob, the mafia is going to go, oh, be a shame if something bad was to happen to all your income for the next few months, eh?

And they want 20% raise over the next three years. Was that your impersonation of the mob? Forget about it. Move along. All right. So anyway. You know, hey, sure, too. Let's not cast you as a mob guy anytime soon, okay?

Ah, you fucking mook. Submarines subpar. Canada has yet to determine how much Chinese steel and equipment will go into its new naval warships, but it didn't scale back on such products for its Arctic and offshore patrol vessels, even though concerns were raised in 2018. Steel for AOPS, that's Arctic and offshore patrol ships, was bought from European suppliers with about 17% of that being purchased from China. In addition, other equipment on the AOPS, from lifeboats to pipes to fittings to anchors and

towing systems was also produced by China according to the national defense documents. And then here I'll read off this as well. It says the latest data provided to this newspaper, this is David Polglyse. He says the latest data. provided to this newspaper by the DND show submarines have had limited use since 2017. HMCS Cornerbrook has not been to the sea over the last five years from 2017 to April 2023. D&D has spent $1.9 billion on submarine maintenance with three boats totaling 529 days at sea.

Yeah, a couple of things there. Something like $6 million a day. And that's just maintenance. That's not wages. that's that's just that's oil changes okay first off I didn't think about this till you're saying it out loud but I find it interesting that we're talking about Chinese steel

and spelling it with two E's instead of the A this time okay but this is just at what point are we going to say like we're not using Canadian steel because the carbon tax makes it ineffective for our own government to procure to create the things that defend our borders.

Yeah, twos, they're screaming about this. Tons of people in that industry and other industries across Canada are talking loudly. Nobody's, I don't know when this changes. Like, does it change with Pierre in the seat if he wins? Like, are they going to scrap carbon tax? Are they going to get rid of it? Or are they going to be like, no, we can't? I think that Pollyab is going to be faced with an industry.

conundrum at some point where he's going to have to decide whether he wants to take most of Canada or whether he wants to try and swing at Toronto. And if the last few elections have been any indication, the people who call the shots in the back rooms for the conservative party are very much in favor of chasing the Toronto vote. Now, the problem is, is that there are two sides of a coin. You can't, like, they're, they're mutually exclusive. you can't look after what wins votes in Toronto and what wins votes in Alberta at the same time. You can't say, okay, well, you know what?

We're going to provide this for all Canadians and it's going to work for Manitoba and for Toronto. It doesn't happen. They're just completely opposite. And so it'll be interesting to see. I mean, like Aaron O'Toole said in the last election that everybody who's a conservative MP is on board with the carbon tax. And if they don't, they're out. And so every single one of the Western Canadian MPs who are now in Parliament were on board with that. They were fine with them stifling their own local industries, their community,

because it was more important to satisfy the Ontario, the urban Ontario voters, than it was to actually represent the people that voted for them and pay for them. I just sometimes wonder if they just didn't think about this, you know, like, I don't know. Earl Whaley, what I was going to say. Yeah, he's right up. Earl's trimmons. This just broke this morning. Didn't Marine Atlantic just take delivery of a new ferry from Newfoundland from China?

Yeah, which is interesting. Like, it's just the wrong side. You think you'd get that ferry for Vancouver or something like that. But yeah, I haven't had a chance to look at the article. I just saw it this morning. And I was like, oh, that's going to tie it perfectly. And then kind of got sidetracked. But, I mean, we're doing this first thing in the morning here, right?

I mean, for episode 50, you know, a year in review, we had to have a little bit of fun, you know, a little bit of fun and try and change it up. Here, let's go on to Happy News, which should make a few people laugh, okay? Here is, we're going to play the video. I'm going to hopefully get it in a little bit closer than that so people can kind of make it out. if they're watching online. Okay. So here, what you can't turn? Okay.

Oh, so we can talk over it. Okay. Yeah, so what's going on? There's a bunch of drunk guys harassing a moose. Some other guys saying, you're the stupidest people I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, there's a guy filming two drunk guys, right? There's a moose standing there and he's going, guys like, what are you doing? Get away from it.

You can see ahead. And finally he's like, fine, go ahead and touch it. You guys are idiots. And they're just like, oh, you know, like whoop. And they start, they start joking about it. And the guy's like, get away from the moves. Like, what are you doing? And as you could tell here, as it goes along,

they think they're being pretty funny, which, you know, the entire video turns into hilarity here as it moves along. And you could see them getting closer and closer and closer until one of them finally touches the moose on the butt and the moose tears out. after them. And yeah, like, I mean. I have no interest in ever being that close to a moose.

I was, I was walking out of the bush one day with, with my muzzle order, unsuccessful at dusk and came across a cow on a calf that got right. Oh, from Mazatlan. I totally cut twos off. We got, we got Morgan Anderson tuning in from Mazatlan, Mexico. Hey, how's it good? Hello, amigo, how's it going? Hello, how much? Yeah, anyway, I, I walked up on them and then they started walking like right towards me and probably walked past me about 10 yards away as I just stood dead still.

And I'm like, I got a muzzleloader. So I better not fucking miss if that cow starts coming after me, right? And like, in the United States, they kill about 440 people if you count, you know, Deeramos, Antelope, everything in that. in that group, injured about 59,000 people of a 59,000 and two, apparently, after this video.

These things, you don't want to muck around with them. And so I think it's great that somebody learned an important lesson, but it's too bad that they were just so dumb, and it's too bad that that car got in the way right at the end because that part I really wanted to see. Yeah, I know. I wish you would have kind of ran out

and just seen what, anyways. Yeah, I mean, let's be clear here. Sean in his younger life, maybe even not that long ago, my wife would probably, you know, and some friends would probably push on me on that a little bit. But, you know, have I been intoxicated and done some really dumb things? Yes. Touching a moose.

I just feel like if you've ever been close to him, they are a giant animal. And the last thing you want to do is get run over by that thing. Like, anyways. To me, I assume nobody was too, you know, hurt too bad. And it's, it's just hilarity ensuing as the guy's trying to tell two drunk guys, don't do this. You guys are idiots. And they're like, oh, niggins funny. Oh, no, we're going to.

Oh, he's good. And then they get it. It could have very easily fucking killed them. Yes. Okay. Here's what, here's what I want to bring in Morgan Anderson, love you guys. This is Mazatland. Can't miss a show, L.O.L.

And I wanted to go, which I thought was sweet, especially when we time it out at 9 in the morning instead of 9 p. Anyways, here we go. Favorite moment twos? I want to end with this. What's your favorite moment from the Tuesday mashup year in review? Whether it is, if you're watching the live stream, if you're listening, you know, on Tuesday morning, like so many of you do, along with the Ariel, you know, Garden Girl text if you want in on that draw.

So shout out to, well, not shout out the mashup, you know, being brought to you by garden girl. This week. And, of course, you can get in $100 seed pack. All you got to do is text me, Garden Girl. where you're listening from. But right now, I really want to know is what has been your favorite moment in the Tuesday mashup year in review?

In 50 mashups, twos, what sticks out to you? And if you're listening, text me, and if you're live stream, put it in a, you know, comment. I'd be interested to hear. Okay. This isn't quite so much the show as it is kind of the behind the scenes of it. I thought that some of the messages that we've gotten from people that are working with us want to advertise with us have been really nice. But the one from Vernon Barb just blew me away.

Like where I was like, that is such a, it was just that they like what they're doing. They support it. You know, they appreciate it. And it just, just the way it all got put together just got me right in the fields. You know, for me on this side, I think it's probably the fact of really stupid idea has turned into this. Because when we first talked about it, Tews didn't know what PTI was. Hell, I'm not sure if a lot of people on the show know what PTA.

Of course I know what PTA was. You don't. You don't listen to it. Anyways, carrying on. It's been on the air for like 20 years, Sean. Everybody knows what PTI is. That is a lie. Lots of people do not know what PTI is.

Anyways, Okay. Pardon the interruption, Sean. Now that he's done his homework, he knows exactly what PTI is. Anyways, so we do this deep dive into PTI, right? We go back, watch first episodes, whatever, and then... That was my idea, by the way. We signed on to, what was it?

I think five? Yeah, we said, let's do five. And we didn't air the first, actually, somewhere I... They're on Rumble. Are they on Rumble? Yeah. Well, if you want to go back and watch the... the awfulness that the first five are, or the first four.

Four. You know, it's funny, we just started off with this really, really, I don't know, idea. And it's been cool to see it, you know, certainly growing different ways. And different, you know, when we put out, you know, we get this first show sponsor, that was Rohan. And then this year we're looking for a new show sponsor. And, you know, you go back to Drew McKaycon. You know, like, hey, just put it out to all these small businesses. And within, I don't know, it was just over a month, all of them sold out.

Yeah. And then we were going to take a week off in the summer and then it ended up not being an option because we sold all the spots. Yeah. So we're like, okay, we'll just take whichever week doesn't sell. And then they all sold. They all sold. Oh, okay. So that's why there's a 9 a.m. show because we don't, we don't take holidays on this show.

It's turning into the SMP where it's like, no, we just ran or shine. We're going. And so it's been an interesting little ride here, too. Yeah. Okay. So you're just, you're just going to go with the overall arching theme then of this fun concept that turn into something. Well, you want my favorite moments.

If I look back on it, almost passing out in the hotel storage room with a fly buzzing around my head and you laughing at me and being like, I'm serious. Like I'm, it is like plus 40 outside or plus 35. I'm dying in here. I don't know why I didn't crack a door. I was worried about the sound, I guess, right? And I'm sitting in a hotel somewhere on family holidays, and I convince, you know, it's in the middle of like COVID hysteria.

So, like, all their boardrooms filled with storage. So they put me in, like, the little broom closet because they had no, you know, I'm thinking they got like a business little room where they could stick me. No, no, no, they stick me in this closet. And I almost pass out. Like that one, I don't even know if that was a good mashup, but that one sticks out to me for sure. the when I actually went back and listened to our, um, Festivus special.

So I, a couple days later, uh, had to do a bunch of driving with, uh, one of the guys on my rig. And I was like, okay, well, I want to turn, turn this on and listen to the game tape. And then I was basically listening to it for the first time. And so that was, that was kind of fun and interesting. I got to kind of, you know, look at it from the other side. Yeah. Yeah, the old festivist was a lot of fun. And I guess at some point here, the smash up has to be the second installment of that at some point. We'll work on that, folks.

We got a lot of things in the fire right now to try and get done over the course of the next, oh, what are we at? You know, May 29th is coming very fast. We got election coverage night, which is going to be a ton of fun. And, well, and lots of people have reached out saying that's a great idea. idea, they'll tune into it. I think I was talking with Dust yesterday about it. And he was like, you know, like, I basically watch global or CBC or whoever just to see what's happened. I don't tune into it to watch anything else. Now I know you guys are doing it. I'll tune in the entire time.

So that's, you know. Well, and that's the whole idea of, you know, what if we just took this thing that everybody's doing that nobody's doing well and we wanted to make it something that people would actually want to watch. Because for all the good that the election coverage of everybody else does, you could literally just have a ticker up there. You wouldn't even need to blow your budget on having the fancy graphics and this and that, whatever else. It would change your viewership almost none if these people just had the ticker. And so would you look at that? The UCP are up 12 to 12 to 6. Close race. Carry on. Yeah. And so, hey, what if we did election coverage that people would actually want to listen to that people would want to tune into that

I find entertaining, informative, and keep them up to date on this as it unfolds. That will not suck. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we spend a lot of time going over what we figure does and doesn't work in these things. And we're putting together a big storyboard. We're going to have a bunch of people collaborating with us. And, yeah, basically just as long as we, you know, keep our stick on the ice with this thing.

And don't let climate change, let the puck get away from us. We should be fine. Yeah. Somehow climate change will affect the mashup coverage, I'm sure. Either way, thanks for 50. That's a year, folks. And it's been an interesting ride. I look forward to year two, or I guess we'll just call it Mashup 51.

And we'll see where it goes from there. Either way, two is I'm going to get out of here. I'm going to get family holidays and all that good stuff here for this week. So we'll catch up to you on Mashup 51. See, yeah, buddy.
