Give your family the opportunity to know their history. Trust fans, like we all do, to get your loved

ones to tell the stories that will help future generations know what it means to be a member of your family. It's a professionally recorded video conversation aimed at capturing the essence of your life stories, memories, insights, valuable life lessons. The goal is to preserve the individual's wisdom for future generations

in the form of a timeless video and optional leather-bound autobiography. Autobiles. Just think what how cool that would be with just, you know, when you look at some of the patriarchs and matriarchs of your family, how much their lives have changed? Listen, listen, all you got to do is bring up Dora Newman to the Newman family. She was the matriarch of the family. If there was one person I wish I would have been doing this so I could have interviewed her. It would have been her hands down.

I think she would have been phenomenal. That's your grandma? Yes. And you don't, yeah, I assume. everyone listening to this has that one person. It's like that person would be perfect. Yep. And I mean, you know, like to get Vance to do it would be fantastic.

I mean, hey, speaking of conversations had, I listened to you. Tews invited on to the Vance Crow podcast. If you haven't tuned in to that, you should. I was totally, you know, it's like talking to a girl out of your league kind of thing. Like, what the hell does Vance Crow want to do talking to me? You know, it's funny. I was captured earlier today by a friend, Ken Rutherford, and another fellow, I don't know if you've ever met Blaine.

Either way, me and Blaine got talking about said podcast. Anyways, they almost held me away from Masha 54. I broke away. I'm here. I'm ready to roll. But anyways. Oh, so they listen to the Vance Crow thing, too? They did.

They did. Okay. And me and Blaine were both saying, we're like, who said some things about the oil field that I'm pretty sure I had no idea. Anyways, you did a lovely job, I thought. Oh, like, you guys need to fact check it? No, I'm definitely not fact checking it. I thought you did a great job of breaking down a whole bunch of things in the oil field.

Okay. Oh, oh, it was just new stuff that you guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that I didn't, I was like, oh, oh, well, isn't that something? Anyways, I thought you did fantastic drop. That's, listen, we throw shots at each other, and I chuckled in it because you're like, yeah, we kind of throw these things back and forth and this and that about that. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, we do. But this right here, I'm being dead serious. I thought you did a great job.

And if you haven't tuned in to Vance Crow, you should. And why not start with 222 minutes? You could do worse, I guess. You can always do worse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I tell you what, I'm going to talk about you as for a quick hot second. It's not on the docket. It's not on the docket.

They tie it up. They tie it up. And I tell you what, they absolutely rode into Vegas after an abysmal game one. and they railroad They won 5-1 This is This is like, you know When you got like a three-year-old

And they draw you some random thing With like mirrors of crayons And then they're all proud as a peacock And you're all right Oh, that's wonderful Great job, great time That's wonderful That blob over there's you

That blob over there's me Can you believe the Toronto Maple Leafs are down three games to none to the Florida Panthers? Yes, yes, I can. Oh, man. Oh, holy man. It's beautiful. I, you know, after so many years of them just being, you know, stuck, they can't get past the first round. They can't get past the first round.

I think Buffalo made it past the first round before the last time. Toronto made it past the first round. And now it looks like they have no business being there. which is just vindication. I'm so excited for my buddy Dave to hear this and know that we all know how much the Leafs suck. How about we talk about a couple key dates coming up here, okay? Now, this is the weekly, you're going to rag on me

because Sean's talking about himself, and that's fine. S&P presents Longo and Criner, June 10th. Two already says it's a crappy date. Either way it's happening. June 10th here in Lloyd Minster, Gold Horse Casino, would love to see you there. How about another date? coming up faster than that.

That's May 29th. So if you're looking to follow along Alberta election coverage, look no further. We're here. And if anybody knows anyone in Antarctica, we would love to talk to them about how they feel about the election. So if you know someone who's in Antarctica right now, we want to talk to them. Just go live to them for a couple minutes and ask them what they think about the way the election. election went. You know, of all two's ideas, I thought

Antarctica was pretty good. I thought that was pretty good. Yeah. Oh, and we're looking for somebody who, well, wait, do we have Tim? Is Tim Mowen good to go? Well, so Tim has said he would, and I'm like, well, is that what we want? We haven't talked about this. I would absolutely

We're looking for somebody from the NDP and everybody laughed at us and and Tim Mone stepped up saying he was so Tim if you're listening we look forward to bringing you on the Tuesday mashup election coverage we've written you down as a yes that's right and out of your track you're they obligated one other date I want to throw out there is May 11th border crossings go back to normal which I know Tuesday says we don't talk about

it on here but I thought we'd throw that in May 11th is a big one now shall we fire this thing up it's a short week somebody is going to an oilers playoff off hockey game game three and and anyway so we're we're we got a little short week here we're recording early so we can make sure we got a mash-up for all you lovely folks which means it's a short week so I don't know you know I it's short week but there's some weighty topics here so I think it's going to be it's probably going to even out okay well let's start here women firefighters burn down the patriarchy and Banff so here we go but Jane Park is a leader in wildlife wildfire management but she's faced her share of adversity in the male

dominated industry as one of only a handful of female type 1 incident commanders in north america and the only one in parks can the park works passionately to raise awareness of gender and diversity issues within the federal agency and the broader wildland fire community that's why park is one of the driving forces behind Banff national park planning and hosting a women in fire training exchange may 1st to 12 known as W-T-R-E-X. It is an intensive 12-day training exchange that combines practical live fire training with indoor learning and discussion to advance participants' qualifications and experience in wildland fire operations.

What could possibly go wrong? And an important part of the conference will focus on indigenous cultural fire practices, weather permitting, participants will also take part in a prescribed burn at compound meadows adjacent to the Banff town site. carrying on. Windier than anticipated conditions are to blame for prescribed burn near Banff growing out of control on Wednesday evening, causing several evacuations and dense smoke over the Trans-Canada Highway, says Parks Canada officials. Fire crews began work on a planned burned north of Banff town site between Banff Avenue and Highway 1 on Wednesday around 4 p.m. as temperatures soared

to the mid-20s two days before the full ignition was to take place amid forecasted cooler and weather temperatures Friday. However, as firefighters were black lining, pre-burning grasses, and other potential fuels to outline the controlled burn area. A sudden wind shift caused the blaze to jump to the east side of Banff Avenue, where it grew about three hectares beyond the 300-hectar control area. Jane Park was quoted as, the wind was not forecasted yesterday, nor was the change in wind direction for us. We were prepared for unexpected changes. It was a little faster than anticipated, she said, we have to conduct our prescribed fires when the conditions are ready to meet our ecological objectives, as well as our objectives to protect the community. And a number of the firefighters working on the prescribed burn Wednesday were part of the women in fire training exchange program currently taking place in Banff.

Park said WTR-E-X is a training program for experienced firefighters from across the globe called the team working the blaze, the cream of the crop. There you go. Here's the problem you run into with this stuff, is that whenever you have a situation, like the black female CEO of Pearson Airport, where Pearson Airport has been an absolute shit show, anytime something like this happens where you're trying to force a quota rather than looking at the most qualified people, there haven't been any big incidents yet, but remember when the airlines were reducing the entrance, requirements for minorities and women to get more of them as pilots. Now, if anything happens there, it's the first thing people are going to look at.

They're going to say, well, these people aren't qualified because there was a set, very clear bit of qualifications that were put forward. They got moved to the side to make way for diversity. And here, you've got people who burned down a chunk of Banff. And did it happen just because things went wrong? or did it happen because their diversity hires? And the problem with this whole thing is that it's always the nagging question. And it doesn't really do them any favors in the long run.

Tell me I'm wrong. I don't know. I'm wondering if Miss Park is sitting there like, mother. Like, come on, ladies. Like, what do we? It's like we got to be all of Alberta is burning right now. So we've got a prescribed burn going on where you got the cream of the crop. It's like, okay, this can't get out of hand.

We've literally predicted everything. Okay, if this happens, we're going to do this. And boom, it's gone. You're like, son of a bitch. Like, this is unbelievable. They did describe, you know, it's funny because there's this puff piece from a few days leading up to it, talking about how great and wonderful she is and how she's a trailblazer. Well, maybe she needs to blaze a few less trail.

else. I don't know. Yeah, I feel like, to me, I'm like, I read it. I'm like, you know, what's the worst, if you're sitting there writing the first piece, you go, what is the worst possible Occo while the fire gets away? That would, that would, that would really suck. Like, I mean, that pretty much undoes the first part. And the fire gets away.

So, I mean. On the plus side, they hardly burn down any buildings. Correct. Correct. And it only lasts a short... Buildings that they burn down. As far as, you know, uncontrolled fires go, yeah, it could have been a lot worse. I mean, luckily, most of Banff is fucking rocks.

So, you know, that's good. All right. Here's the ferry man's toll. It was a woman's firefighter conference, handpom, and you got the two articles side by side. You know, how a fire went from prescribed burn to an out of control in an instant near Banff. It's like, it's not like two. weeks between pieces we're talking uh april 28th to may 4th that's that it's funny because i texted

you these exact two articles like the night before night before all of this stuff blew up that's just you know oh man it's but i mean there's been so much going on with yes fires you know and well here here i'll pull up the i'll pull up the uh the five-year comparison of area burned by current date there you go Well, that doesn't seem suspicious at all. Climate change, man. Oh, well, I mean, in 2018, maybe 2020, I can't remember which one. I think I talked about it before on a previous episode, but the liberals had commissioned a study to look at the effects of climate change on natural disasters

and focus specifically on wildfires. and then Catherine McKenna was thrown it around and there was a bunch of liberals talking about, oh, climate change is burning down all our forests. And then somebody pointed out a couple days later once they actually got into the nuts and bolts of it that most of the fires they looked at were actually caused by arson.

So, I mean, it's man-made for sure, but it totally is not at all what they were talking about. And then that study quietly went away and was never talked about again because they ended up looking like idiots. And right now, you look at this five-year average, and it looks pretty damn suspicious. And then there was the Parkland County was,

they had tweeted that they had five fires, and they suspected that four of them were arson. And then, yeah, our firefighters responded to four fires in five days that appear to be intentionally set. Right. So Parkland County being just outside of it, Edmonton. Yeah. So this... Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, I hear what you're saying. And for the person who's listening, uh, as I bounce through a different tweets here, the one twos is talking about with the chart.

You know, it's from 2018 to 2023. It's like, it's like there's nothing that. Not nothing there. I don't mean to say that just the way the chart looks for the first five years, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022. It's pretty low. And then it goes off the rails in 2023. You know, it's, it's through the roof. the blue chart the blue bar graph yeah well you've got 851 is the highest in the last previous five years and then right now it's just shy of 18,000 yeah yeah yeah so do you want do you want to talk about this so okay yeah this here's here's here's here's two different people on Twitter this is completely so Daniel Smith has come on and given a press

conference anyways this is completely improper violence every key rule of elections. The Premier should not be exercising the powers of the office to broadcast at all. She's not even a member of the legislature. The Civic Service is supposed to be in charge. The Cabinet is supposed to stand down. So that's the first one, okay? Well, you can always tell how credible a tweet is by how many things are in caps.

The second one, this is what it looks like from Edson. I feel like I'm an Apocalypse movie right now. where is Premier Daniel Smith in this time of crisis while many people in this province need eight assistance to fight these fires and get to safety? That's the two we've highlighted. They're NDP supporters and the rule is, is that no matter what the other guy does, if it's the other guy doing it, it's wrong. And so when it first started, they were all upset because she hadn't said enough. And then as soon as she said something,

they said she shouldn't be saying anything. And classic NDP, there's no logic or coherence between any of their statements or any of their policies. You also sent through a bunch of articles, twos, on the different, some of the NDP cuts.

So in 2016, you had Alberta cuts nearly 15 million from wildfire management budget. And then the Fort McMurray, there was, in the days before the, northern Alberta fires became burning uncontrollably causing for evacuation the entire town of Fort Mac. Premier Rachel Knottley accused opposition leader Brian Jean then of fearmongering and grandstanding when he voiced concerns over provinces wildfire preparedness. His house burned down literally a few hours after Rachel Notley told him he was fearmongering.

So yeah, 2016, the NDP cut back on firefighting. funding and then in 2019 the ucp cut back i think it was 2019 the ucc cut back in firefighter funding and so it's funny because now you've got these ndp supporters online saying oh well we should vote for rachel knotley because the other people cut firefighting funding hey read a history book idiots All right. Speaking of the NDP, the NDP are right? Just real quick. Party.

Just real quick. Sure. Before anybody gets confused, because it has been a while ago, it wasn't Rachel Notley that sent away all the proposed international aid when Fort Mac was burning down. Okay? To be absolutely fair, she had nothing to do with that. That was Justin Trudeau that turned everybody around when Russia said that they were going to send over air bomber.

and there was just about a half dozen different countries that were like, we're going to send people, equipment, all this stuff. And Trudeau was like, no, I fucking hate that place. Okay, that wasn't naughtly. Did you see, did you see the suit? What's the little handkerchief that goes in the pocket, the pocket square? Did you see Jordan Peterson's pocket square that somebody made him? No.

It's Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. and the devil in the tree, the snake, giving them the poison apple or the, you know, the apple, is a man with horns, and when it zoomed in, is Justin Trudeau. That's the pocket square somebody made Jordan Peterson. I was like, man, does this country dislike that man or what? Oh, man, could you imagine how pissed off you'd be right now if you were Satan and people were comparing Justin Trudeau to you?

I don't know. I actually don't know what to say to that other than, yeah, I just, sure. I mean, at the end of the day... Do you see me surfing on my Lake of Fire every day? No, I'm out here working hard day and day out. Practicing my fiddle, I'm not the best, but at least I stick with things for more than a few years here and there instead of Mr. Never Help full-time job.

The NDP are a right-wing party. I don't know what you want me to do with this. I took the quiz. Did you take the quiz? Okay. Okay. Now, do you still have the results up? I don't have the results up, but I did take a picture of it. Well, let's, here. Let's go to mine.

All right. So we have, da-da-da. Here. Well, whatever. This will work. Tews, you're supposed to have this up. All right. So here it is.

Here is the CBC's take. on the political landscape in alberta and it has the ndp as being a slightly right of center party right here the ndp right of center here's here's where my results came in surprisingly there you go but yeah n dp here's center here's ndp i'm curious where you ended up tuesday now that you're there you didn't see i just pointed it out i was in the bottom right corner oh you're in the the bottom right corner. Yeah. Basically, anytime a question started off with should the government, I didn't read it and I just went strongly disagree. Well, I tell you what. That was a fun little exercise, except I pulled out several different screenshots in there that I was like,

here, here, I'll pull up a couple of them here if I can pull this off. I'll pull up a couple of them here if I can pull this off. I mean, I guess I just did the one. Well, while you're doing that, I want to talk through some of the methodology they used for it. So they had said, Alberta should take a tougher stance in dealing with the federal government. And then the NDP is listed as somewhat agree. So if you hit somewhat agree, you would line up with the NDP in that. When has the NDP ever in the four years that they were in charge, pushed back on the federal government, when has in the subsequent four years, when have they ever said that something the federal government doing they're not aligned with? I mean, they're the ones who did the carbon tax.

They were all on board with canceling the Northern Gateway pipeline. And were they embarrassing cousins, were the sewer rats? they've never been out of lockstep with the federal government. So why would it possibly say somewhat agree? There's nothing in any of their actions ever since they achieved what could be loosely defined as political relevancy. Nothing to support that they would strongly agree with a tougher stance against the federal government. Okay. And then Alberta pays more than it's share.

of support to the rest of the country. NDP is somewhat agreed. NDP pushed back on revising the equalization thing exactly, or on not revising equalization exactly zero. Again, they have always been in lockstep with the federal government. So if the NDP even somewhat agreed that they're paying more than their fair share because they're all about everybody paying their fair share, are they not? Then it would make sense.

that they would have mentioned it at some point, but because they have never at all talked about how unfair equalization is, I would say that that would be strongly disagree. And so you've got these individual takes that just move them further right with absolutely no justification. There's a whole bunch of them in there. Like you can go into. Okay.

Well, here. This is policy. Same thing. Several examples. Law and order, taxation. Taxation. Basically, like, it's, it completely avoids the idea of them running deficits and stuff. So this is, it's, it's impressive that they actually, that CBC did something decent here, but not in an honest way.

They put a lot of time and effort into asking exactly the right questions to avoid putting forth anything that would be critical of the NDP. And even when it should be critical, they just lied and just moved them. over on the compass. So here, this is CBC News vote compass, okay? I'm literally like rolling through here and I just started taking screenshots because I'm like, how is it? Like this is what makes

me a right wing extremist at this point, okay? Schools should always inform, this is one of the questions, schools should always inform parents if their child uses different gender pronouns in the classroom than they do at home. I would think, well, yeah, you probably should inform parents. That's just me.

The Alberta government should restrict unvaccinated individuals from entering non-essential public spaces during the public health emergency. And while I'm reading these, I want everybody to realize there's a whole bunch of things you can select from. Strongly disagree, somewhat disagree, neutral, somewhat agree, strongly agree. Don't know, okay? So every question you hear, and they had a whole lot of them. Here's another one. Indigenous communities in Alberta should have a veto over natural resource development projects in the province. Okay. I think that's almost a non-starter question, really. I'm just saying...

But again, this is the bullshit... People who use illegal drugs should have access to supervise consumption sites. I'm not done to. I'm going to keep going here. People with severe and incurable mental illness should be able to request a medically assisted death. So they've snucked maid.

They've stocked all the... How much land in Alberta should be turned over to indigenous peoples? Okay. And finally, how much land... Oh, no, twice in the same one. There you go. That's the ones I all hide all.

I'm like, okay. So by any which way where I don't say I agree with this, I'm already almost as far right wing as you can get. And I'm like, well, yeah, I ended up in the exact literal bottom right corner of this because I don't want the government involved. And that makes me the absolute furthest extremist of right wing libertarianism. Okay, here's here's another one. Okay. How much should wealthier people pay in taxes? Yeah, that was in there too.

If you were to take the NDP stance on how much should wealthier people pay in taxes, what do you think it would be? Much less about the same as now. Guaranteed much more. Okay, according to the vote compass, the NDP stance is about the same as now. True. They're totally lying in an attempt to tip the scales towards left-leaning governments. It's bullshit.

It's pure bullshit. Hope they don't shit on you, bubbles. Shit on you? Who? Shit-hawks. They're dirty shit-hawks. I agree to, so. I started taking it.

I didn't know what the heck I was expecting here. And no longer I read these questions, I'm like, what the heck is this? Can we talk about some things that actually make a little bit of sense? Anyways, that's me. Just the tip of an iceberg, just for a second. Just to see how it feels. It was a calm spring day when Canadian photographer Ken Pretty spotted an interestingly shaped 30-foot iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland, Newfoundland's East Coast here. I'm going to bring this up while I talk about this.

Oh, it's already up. So this is an iceberg. This is an actual iceberg. As he flew, man, if you aren't watching this, I feel for you right now because this is maybe the best thing the mashup has. put on on display in a long time i'm gonna i'm gonna zoom in on this sucker you know not the veins as he as he as he flew his drone overhead pretty who hails from town of dildo no i can't i cannot make this phone i can't make this up folks huh realized the hulk of the ice bore at a distinct resemblance to a characteristic part of the human male anatomy looking from the land it was quite clear said pretty but once i got the drone out there

It was unreal how much it looked like, well, you know. Yeah, it looked like a nautical lovestick. Pretty's images of the phallic burg. Falakberg prompted an outpouring of hilarity on Facebook where users speculated that the iceberg would probably soon drift past Dick's Cove, Newfoundland, or suggesting it could provide ice for the stiffest drinks. One woman dubbed it the Dickie Berg. Yeah, so anyway, this guy just goes around filming ice iceberg.

Fair enough. And he finds one that looks like some kind of a giant oceanic tallywacker. And I don't know why this is front page news everywhere. Like this is just probably just about the funniest thing you ever see. All I can think of is Austin Powers. Oh, yeah. Oh my God. That looks like a giant Johnson.

Get over here. Yeah. Nuts. Get your nuts. Oh, wait for his doctor evil to get out. wave and, you know, blast off anyways. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's just a giant aquatic trouser snake.

I kind of would just leave this here for the rest of the mashup, and let's just roll through. No matter how serious we get, if that's sitting beside us, I feel like people will, well, they'll ease up on some of the, they'll have something to brighten their day. I don't know. I feel like things could get pretty hard. You might say so. All right.

Okay. Well, let's go on to the next thing. It couldn't possibly be more to do with penises than this one. Well, we got to talk about the heist, don't we? Well, I feel like Tews is all about the heist. Okay, here. And then I almost missed it. And let's be honest, the dildo, the big giant iceberg,

it gets to stay with us for just a couple more seconds, folks. Police and Canada are investigating a chilling theft in Newfoundland community after the disappearance of 30,000 liters of valuable iceberg water. Thieves are, to believe, two of, covertly pilfered the water from a storage facility in the coastal town of Port Union last week. The water was intended for vodka production,

said police. Yeah, so this is this article's from just over four years ago, but it got referenced in the other article and I'm like, how did we not even hear about this? Like this, it's a water heist? A water heist. A water heist. A water heist.

But I mean, like, again, now, all of a sudden they're looking for a tanker because they're like you can't just fill your pockets with this shit right the amount of ingenuity that that goes into some of these things and it feels like there's so many awesome heists in Canada I don't know what do you think it is we've got the coolest heists

it should be like a tourist thing like come to Canada we steal interesting shit yeah you want to steal money I'm going to show you I'm going to steal a bulker of penis water you know It just seems like, like, well, can you imagine loading that thing? Can you imagine loading that thing up on the back of a flat bed and just driving it out and you're like,

that's illegal, but that's awesome. Just go, man. You'd want it just stick it out the front. You'd be able to drive as fast as you want. People'd be like trying to get out of the way. You never have to stop at traffic lights. People'd be swerving around it. You'd give free willy a new meaning, right?

Oh, and then you just wrap it right into a tunnel. Never to be seen again. That's what we're here for, folks, the Tuesday matcher, bringing you some laughs when you, when you're, you know, you just, you need something to lighten the mood. Oh, man, pretty willing. But not only that. Slam it into a tunnel. Before the coronation of Prince Charles III in England, somebody drew, somebody took a lawnmower and cut a giant dick into the grass in front of Buckingham Palace. I wonder if it's the same guy.

They look kind of silhou. You know, and then we follow it up with Bill C-11 could screw pornographers. I'm sorry, how did you pronounce that? Prorographers. Okay, well, you put the emphasis on the wrong syllable. All right. I'm trying to hold it together here. Oh, man, I got a giant ice penis sculpture.

And, and, and anyways. Switch over to the Buckingham Palace one real quick. I didn't even pull it up. I got to be honest. I literally, I literally was looking at it. I'm like, I'm going to, like, this is going to be, this is going to be that for week 54, if you remember anything, it'll be the giant iceberg in the shape of a, of the human, you know, a rectal. cock and balls.

I'm sorry. You know your apologies to Mrs. Newman. That's right. That's right. But I mean, literally, it's right there, folks. Like, I mean, if you can't see that, anyways, here we go. The now, do you want the Buckingham Palace? Do you want that?

Do you want me to show that? Oh, it's just funny because someone just moated in a giant dick. And actually, you know what? Like, as a dad who takes care of his lawn really well, I can appreciate that those are some really well-done lines. He put a lot of time and effort into getting it exactly right. I do a pretty good job, but I feel like I'd be drifting a little bit as I went.

Here, let's see if I can get pulled over in so people can see what I'm talking about. There you go. Zoom right in on that. So there you go. You could probably, like that's well done. That's well done. How the heck did he? Middle of the night, he went in there and did that obviously?

How the cows? Presumably. How the heck did he go unseen? Well, it's middle of the night. It's generally dark then. I know, but. And I mean, you know, you could get one of those push ones that just so you don't have the giant.

One of the electric ones that just purrs, eh? Oh, yeah. This whole New World Order stuff isn't working out well for you. Is it King Charles? Really makes a, you know, shaving a giant peanut. into the lawn surface nice and easy. And it looks so much bigger when it's shaved. Same thing when it shaved ice.

Oh, man. B, so. Bill C-11. Okay, now that the Trudeau government's online streaming act is law, one little mentioned side effect is that it could soon lead to mandatory government minimum on Canadian-made internet porn. No, I'm not making this up, folks. Although the bill was primarily pitched as a way to impose CRTC,

oversight on streaming giants such as Netflix and YouTube, the legislation could equally apply to adult content streamers such as Pornhub or Red Tube. The world of online pornography is already far more Canadian than most Canadians realize. Mind Geek, I didn't realize this, you know, this part of the article, I was like, I better toss this in because I hardly don't anyone realize this. Anyways. Well, you were asking me what incognito mode was in your book browser. So, yeah. Mind Geek, a conglomber that quietly owns much of the X-rated internet was founded in Montreal in 2004 and still maintains its main offices in the city, although it is now nominally headquartered in Luxembourg. In March 2023, Mindgeek was purchased by ethical capital partners and private equity company.

What a great name for a pornographer. Ethical capital partners. A private equity company based in Ottawa, of course. The company's core property. you know a lot about screwing people in Ottawa. It's true. The company's core property is Pornhub, a site founded by three Concordia students that is now the world's purveyor of adult content.

Mind Geek also owns a number of adult production studios, some of which like brazzers and mofos are similarly based in Montreal. Nevertheless, mere Canadian ownership of media content has never been enough to qualify as Canadian by the CRTC standards. The CRTC maintains a complex series of quotas under which it designates official Canadian content. As such, even a production that takes place in Canada and has a cast entirely composed of Canadians may not be Canadian content if it doesn't also meet thresholds for funding and production.

Oh boy, back to porn anyways. For a conventional X-rated scene to meet current CRTC guidelines on Canadian content that producers and majority of production crew would need to be Canadian citizens and 75% of production expenses must come from Canadian sources, in addition at least one of the members of the members of of the couples having sex would need to provide proof of Canadian citizenship. Once again, I never thought we'd be talking about C-11 pornography and Canadian content. Anyways, this has been maybe... This is your tax dollars hard at work.

They are looking... Just imagine you get a job at the Canadian government, and they're like, okay, you know, welcome, here's your office. Oh, I don't have any windows? Okay, weird. What's my job? well, you need to look at porn all day and you need to decide if it's Canadian enough. Like, could you imagine, you know, what they really ought to do, like Porn Hub or whatever, what they ought to do is come out with like a series of just Canada porn where they'll have,

you know, just stereotypical Canadian stereotypes. Like, it'll be like, you know, the Mountie on his horse pulls somebody over and then they go off into the book. or something like that or, you know, something in Parliament Hill or or somebody doesn't fill out the right permit in Ottawa. And they're like, well, gee, bylaw officer, is there any way I can get out of this? Or, or, you know, just just some lumberjack going down the lumberjack. How about, how about a Canadian trucker? Canadian trucker, right? And then he's driving down the road. he says, oh, gee, hey, that looks like a really nice beaver. We're just, we're in la, la, la, man.

La, la, man. We're in la la. They just, honestly, it's going to keep happening until it gets made fun of so much for how stupid it is that the government walks it back because they're tired of being made fun of. And that's, if I was some kind of a, I don't know, Hugh Haftner type guy or whatever, I would just be like, let's make the most ludicrously Canadian porn ever. Some chick walks in with an oiler's jersey.

And then the guy's like, yeah, you need to take that off right now. And she'd be like, oh, because you like the way I look. They'd be like, no, because they fucking suck. I feel like we could make a bunch of series of short little films, comedy sketches. I'm sorry, you think we should get into this industry? No, well, not the porn industry. Like, I just mean...

Oh, yeah. What should we call it, Sean? Should we call it the mashup? Mashup 69. Why is you saying? Like, how funny would that video be if it was 18 seconds? The new Canadian content for Pornhup. And then you just flash to it,

a woman in oil jersey and she does exactly that and the guy's like no because the oils fucking suck and that's it that would be funny that would be funny i feel like that'd be a nice short video i mean in my in my in my world it'd be a calgary flames but hey you know when the flames fans are sitting out golfing all the time folks they have to come up with these funny little sketches because they literally aren't playing hockey so what are you going to do well how about this sean can we all agree that the leaves are fucking brutal i can't believe they're down 3-0 to Florida. Yeah, that's, that's, uh, well, that's something.

Anyways, liberals want a kneecap whistleblowers. The Liberal Party Policy Convention is underway in Ottawa. And do governments have the worst possible names for everything? Because I just feel like, oh my God. Like every like little convention group they form is just the worst. name ever anyways is underway in Ottawa with delegates preparing to debate a series of policy proposals that could ultimately make their way into their national election platforms party members voted on the top 20 proposals for discussions included one involving the media and online information that seems

obviously unconstitutional not that matters to the liberals and a direct threat to a freedom of the press not that matters to the liberals yet again the proposal purportedly aimed at addressing misinformation calls for more government funding because that'll work for the media and the government explore more options to hold online information services accountable for the veracity of material published on their platforms and to limit publication only to material whose sources can be traced what does traceable sources mean it means there's no more secret whistleblowers from sys right the liberals are literally trying to pass a law to make the break news that the S&C Lavlin scandal came out this way.

Like I said, the whole CIS foreign interference thing with China threatening an MP's family back in China. All this stuff would have never come out under these rules. And meanwhile, Canada, for some reason, keeps moving up in the World Freedom Press Index. But when you look at the, when you look at the methodology behind it, they're basically just taking the liberals on their word on all this stuff. They're like, oh, there's a bunch of different places that you can get your news from. So that's good. They're generally free of pressure from politicians.

Well, is that really true when CBC is going to lose $1.3 billion if the people they have, don't like get in. I would say that that's a lot of political pressure. Money creates strings, twos. But, but they're literally. So why do we like black locks so much? Well, because they're amazing. But the whole idea of this freedom of the press index is to indicate how separate the media is from the government, right? How much can you trust what comes out in the media as being fair and independent as opposed to what the government tells it to say. And to justify the high score, they literally say the government has publicly acknowledged that the, quote, media freedom remains an important part of democratic societies and essential to the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms.

End quote. They're using the government quote to give a high score to the separation of media and government. This is literally asking the fox if you can be trusted in the henhouse. And I should have played this at the start, but screw it. We're going to play it right here, all right? This entire story is summed up by this. We like to say people kind, not necessarily mankind. It's more inclusive.

There we go. Exactly. Yes, thank you. And the budget will balance itself. Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense So. Officer looks

draconian judgment in the face and doesn't blink. A Windsor police officer will have to work unpaid hours as a penalty for donating to the Freedom Convoy. Constable Michael Briscoe was previously convicted of discredible conduct under the Police Service Act.

How much do you think he donated? I'm looking at it right now. Briscoe, I know. I'm listening. I got to. the audience they're sitting there watching listening i'm like how much do you think he donated this person was very active in donating financially to the freedom convoy to the grand total of fifty dollars he donated fifty dollars for the give send go to the freedom convoy at the

time he was on unpaid leave because he could not meet the requirements of the windsor police service covid-19 vaccination policy and his lawyer his own lawyer is at asking for 40 hours while Windsor police lawyer David Amiat requested a penalty of 140 hours. Here's, okay, now you're, you almost, it seems like you ducked up before the best part. Here is the absolute, oh, beauty. Amiat says Briscoe has not shown any remorse or, quote, acceptance of wrongdoing, end quote, that his donation supported a movement, that his peers in law enforcement were trying to It's true.

The guy is a total badass, even though it's for 50 fucking dollars. Briscoe did not plead guilty to the single charge because Miles said he wanted a public discussion about his point of view that an off-duty officer supporting, that of an off-duty officer supporting a grassroots movement. This guy totally fucked over his personal career because he needed everybody to know what was They're coming after him for $50. This is $50. And they're going after him for 140 hours of unpaid work.

Which is what? We should get this guy on, too. You absolutely should. What do you call it when you force people to work for you with no remuneration? Slavery. That's the word. Yes. Thank you.

But hey, we're a free society. Let's up that, let's up that press freedom index. a little bit more. That's better. That's better. That's off to this guy. Hats off. Absolutely.

I agree. I mean, man, $50 and 140 hours. His own defense lawyers looking for 40 hours. Actually,

you know what? In terms of the public sector, that probably is a month of work. That probably is a month of work. Well, that's, that's four 35-hour weeks. Yeah,

it is. You're right. Like, I just, Anyways, you know what, folks, we're going to see if we can't get a hold of Constable Michael Briscoe. Why not? That'd be fantastic. Guy needs to know that there's some people out there that think this is absolutely absurd and see what he's doing.

And that we think what he's doing is great. That's right. Okay. We'll see what we can do. Fox may leave hen pecked house. Oh, man. Good old CRTC again. The CRTC has opened a public consultation on a complaint from an LGBT rights group asking the broadcast regulator to ban Fox News from cable packages in Canada.

EGale Canada first said in April it would file an application asking the CRTC to ban Fox News over false and horrifying claims made by host Tucker Carlson regarding transgender individuals. The group published an open letter following a March appearance on Tucker Carlson tonight. The group said the Fox News coverage aimed at provoke hatred and violence against the two S-L-G-B-T-QI communities, particularly those who are two-spirit trans non-binary and gender non-conforming. During the segment, Carlson made the inflammatory and false claim that trans people are targeting Christians to position trans people in exited. Oh man, I can't even get through all these freaking... It's the let's cetera, just eliposophy, et cetera.

I remember when they first came out, it was the LG society, and then it was the LGBT society the next year. And we laughed because, you know, it's like, oh, they're just adding more letters. 2S-L-G-B-T-Q-I. And then I believe there's a plus, isn't it? Like, thank God we use Latin letters. in our 26 letter alphabet because if we use Greek, there's only 24 and they would have to just start repeating them.

I didn't even know what to say. Okay, well, basically, CRTC is looking at banning. Getting rid of Fox. Because they don't like, because, um, uh,

a light your hair on fire group is mad about something Tucker Carlson said, who doesn't even work there anymore. And crazy pitch, hear me out. if you don't like what's on the television. Turn the channel. Turn the channel. Don't buy cable.

Who even has it anymore? Yeah. Like this is going to, like the CRTC is miring itself in bureaucracy that is going to affect 17 fucking people. Which is just classic Ottawa every fucking time. It's wild that they're, that they're like even, you know. No, it isn't. This is literally all they do. If there wasn't shit like this, they wouldn't need a giant department.

It would be one guy in a room with a suitcase and he came in three days a week. If you just like common sense run this, that would be it instead of this giant. We're not in the world of common sense anymore. What did we have? Like 30% increase in our public sector since COVID started something like that. Like this, all of this stuff is wholly unnecessary. And yet we still think that we should just keep promoting it and, and justifying its existence. But it shouldn't exist.

Yeah. Okay. Scientists track down 17th century patient patient, patient zero. Here's their happy news of the week. is the world's most popular beer and new research shows it was invented by accident more than 400 years ago in Bavaria the the yeast that is currently used to brew cold beer originated in Munich at the court of Maximilian the Great after two different yeast came into contact and mated that's not entirely fair when it when it brews cold that's not exactly correct usually want to brew a logger at

about 19 Celsius and an ale it somewhere depending on the strain fall part call it 21 to 23 degrees Celsius. What type of beer is your favorite, too? Whichever one's in front of me. You know what? I had some Bud Light the other day and it was, oh, uh, my, the best beer that I've ever made is I had a buddy asked me if I could make a double IPA. And I was like, okay, sure, whatever, I'll try it.

And it ended up being really complicated to make and super expensive. because there's so much hops that go into it. And anyway, it costs like twice as much to make as a regular beer. But that's the best beer I've ever made, but it's like 8.5%. So tread careful. That's the best beer you've ever made? Yeah. A double.

IPA. IPA. Oh, boy. Okay. Fair enough. Well. How about you? I'm a strictly a Pilsner guy.

Like, I don't mean just like, uh, like the, Hill, but a Pilsner. Yes, correct. Yeah, yeah. I just enjoy it. It's like, why kind of become stubborn as I get older? It's like, why go drinking a whole bunch of random beers when I'm just going to come back to Pilsner? It's just delightful.

Everywhere I go and they got, uh, you know, I got a buddy of mine. They, um, run a brewery in Wisconsin. And, uh, they got a, There's breweries in Wisconsin? Yeah, yeah, lots of. And seaside Pilsner is theirs. And I, like, it's just fantastic. And I always go, I always get down there.

What's that beer I like? And he just laughs. He's like, the Pilsner. You like the Seaside Pilsner. I'm like, I do. I really do. So it's just delightful. It's delightful beer.

It's just, it's great on a hot day. It just, you can't go wrong with it. You're never not in the mood for a Pilsner. Sometimes, you know, when you get into other stuff, oh, you want to have a wheat ale every once in a while. And you're like, okay, that's kind of nice. But it's not an everyday kind of thing. Not that you should be drinking every day.

We're not doctors. But, yeah, like there's so many weird ones. Like Calgary has so many bizarre different types of beer. And I like it when people keep it simple. You can try a few different things here and there. Like I've probably only made about 10 different types of beer. But they've all been pretty good. Oh, ginger beer, right on.

But yeah, so anyways, this is good. We didn't even talk about this. But they tracked down a hybrid. And it's interesting because the characteristics of logger yeast and ale yeast are completely different. And so it was just made completely by accident. It's just a hybrid of a wild strain. For thousands of years, all beers were fermented with a particular strain named, Oh, man.

Saca. That's not even true because Belgians are known for open cast brewing. So. So twos is already fired up. Yeah. So there's a lot of Belgian beers where they'll just, they'll take the same whart and they'll put it in a whole bunch of different ones. And then whatever yeast lands in it,

ferments it, and it'll come up with different flavors. And then the brewmaster will taste the different ones and figure out what proportion of what is going to get the flavor that he's looking for. It's almost like, what do you call, with whiskey, a blend. It's basically a lot like that. And so it's, there's, it's a good article, but it loses some of the finer points. But I just think it's really cool that, oh, you can trace it this specifically and you can figure out exactly where this thing came out. I mean, it would make sense because brewers keep really

detailed notes. And so I don't know. It's maybe not good news, but I just find this whole story really interesting from my historical perspective. Well, that's that rate there is going to do it for Mashup 54th. It wasn't a quick one because we seem to have hit an hour somehow. I don't know how we did that. Either way, we had a little bit of fun along the way. Mashup 54 brought to you by our friend Vance Crowe and his legacy interviews. And we record this early.

So I have no idea if the Oilers are up to one or where they're at. Either way, I know that I am, well, by the time they're, you know, by the time the old Derry cartels listen to this, I'm well on my way home. So if you want to give me a text, you fire away, big fella. Either way, I certainly hope I'm excited. We're taking two of our kids to the game. So that could be. First NHL games? First NHL games.

Why not be game three of the playoffs? Yeah, I'm surprised the Oilers have lasted this long in the second round, to be honest. Interesting. How are your flames doing? They haven't lost a single game all playoffs. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

Yep. They've been non-existent, I guess, is the word I'm looking for. But hey, that's me. Anyways, mashup 54, where the Oilers are soon to be going on to the third round and the flames. Well, they're still chipping, practicing their chips out on the, you know. Honestly, I feel like the oilers are about to get fucked by a giant Neptune meat popsicle from Dildo Newfoundland. No, see, dry sidel is the guy that'll be doing... Drysiddle is about to have a dry spell.

I don't think so. I think that guy's on another level. Anyways, that's going to do it for us here. Mashup 54. Please look out May 29th. We got election coverage coming. So excited for this. So help me.

Not so help me. So help twos if the Oilers are still in the playoffs because I don't know how I'll get my joy away from that night. Anyways, that'll do it for us too. You know, I just, can you imagine the Oilers make the cup this year? Like, twos, you got like another month of this coming. You know, another month of... Yeah, I'll probably just start calling in sick.

You know what? You have fun. You take the kids to Edmonton to that hockey game, and I'm going to report you for child abuse. Oh, man. They have no idea what they're in for. These kids, you know, teams aside, if it was flames, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, but it doesn't matter. First NHL game ever, they're going to a playoff game three where the series is tied one-one,

and they just have no idea what they're in for, no clue. It'll be great. I mean, they're going to be walking through all the crowds. They're going to see all the beautiful Oilers fans, and they'll be like, oh, they're losing. Their grown-up teeth are coming in, too. Toos as always Fuck on pleasure my friend We'll catch you on 55

When the Oilers are moving on And I'm going to just be even more Oh man It's going to be beautiful either way That'll do it for 54 We'll catch you up to you 55 All right see it
