What in the hell are the people who plan traffic lights thinking on any given day? Like, do they just smoke peyote and ask themselves how weird it could possibly get? Like, why the hell do you need turning lights at 9 o'clock at night or 4 in the morning or anywhere in between? There isn't enough traffic to justify it. Just go to regular-ass lights at night. and then when the traffic actually is sufficient to necessitate such a thing, that's when you go back to the turning light. You don't need a turning light at 1237 a.m.

You don't. And if you think you do, it's because you're crazy. So just drop it and let us just get on with our lives and get to where we need to go without sitting at an empty intersection for five fucking minutes, waiting for a light nobody's at. I personally think the government should put together a special counsel to look into it. it too. That's what I think. They could probably figure out what to do with that. No? I would love it if there was just like a stupid button. Like if you could go to any government

website and just there's a big red button, you're like the Staples thing, but just stupid, like, oh, that was stupid and might even say that when you click on it. And then you can just write in what exactly it is that's incredibly stupid that the government does. And it's little things like this. We're like, well, obviously that makes sense. That makes sense. Why don't we just do that? It can't be that hard. You just got to send one guy over to that box at the intersection and have them plink in a couple things.

Boom, done. You don't ever have to worry about it ever again. You don't ever have to piss off people endlessly. You can just set it and forget it. Welcome to Mashup 62. As you saw, it's brought to by Zeb's Performance Restoration. He sponsored one week out of 52. And he said, can I please get a two's mass?

Tews rant. I'm like, well, I'd love to piss off a paying customer, but I guess, yes, you can. You can have a Tews rant, hey? That's a first that we've had today. I tell you what. If people want Tews to rant, you just pay the weekly fee and I guess he'll rant all year. How's that? I mean, I'm not going to fight that. We'll just set the price a little higher. So the ranters, you know, have a little bargaining trip here. Like, who's going to pay more? The people who don't want to hear Tews or the people that do want to hear Tews. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, well, now people on other weeks are going to be like, well, you know what? I guess I now have the option. So do I want to rant or do I not want to rant? That's right. Anyways, Mashup 62 brought to you by Zeb's Performance Restoration. It's a full service vehicle restoration shop with over 80 years combined automotive knowledge in Chestermear, Alberta.

Sean, if you could pick any car in the world, what would you have? It doesn't have to be your day car. It doesn't have to be, you know, the day-to-day commuter because you have such a long commute. Just any car you want, what would you pick? Gone in 60 seconds. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the Shelby.

Oh yeah. That car is just like, I like to look at that thing. You? 72 stingray, man. 72 stingray. And see, my father is a judge fan. He likes the judge, 1969. Maybe Zane can correct me on this. I think it's the 69 judge.

Anyways, I've seen one in person now, and I'm like, oh, that's the car. I wonder why that. Has he ever fired a judge? judge, like the, the pistol? No, I can't say he has. I was thinking. It's a revolver that shoots 410, well, and cold 45 as well, because it's the same four size, right? Okay, fair enough. No, I don't, I don't think so.

Okay, well, anyway, how cool is this, right? Like, you know, we keep talking about how we have all these great sponsors and things like that. You've got people who just appreciate classics. I think it's wonderful. And I tell you what, this is something cool. about Zane. He, I went back on my, um, my signal chat because of course people can get a hold of me pretty much anytime they want. And our text conversation goes back to when I first got back from my, from Ottawa. So, uh, April 20, 22. And I'm sure he was listening before that because as soon as I had my first episode back, he's texting and we haven't stopped since then. So it's pretty cool. Yeah. Uh, for somebody to hop along and, and, uh, support the show.

That's appreciated. 100% now um let's see here we already we already got somebody oh yeah see gale knows yes to the Shelby hey okay all right light up the chat with whatever else you think would be yeah a good vehicle because i mean i want to hear more about the stingray fair enough well nobody wants to hear more about this well who knows maybe they do okay let's get into it shall we as we uh we we see if anybody else wants to chime in with what they would uh get here we go okay mr. Bean speaks out the environment environmental benefit of electric cars may never be felt with their production creating up to 70% more

emissions than their petrol equivalent electric cars need to be used for tens of thousands of miles before they offset the higher releases with VW's eGolf becoming more environmentally friendly only after 77,000 miles according to the manufacturer's own figures but there are fears that much many such a vehicle will never hit their mileage target as owners upgrades to newer models leaving swaths of used electric cars sitting unwanted on garage four quarts. The vast majority of car purchases in the UK are made using credit plans which offers customers the chance to swap their car for a new vehicle after a three-year term, which is unlikely to be enough to offset the emissions. Volvo revealed in 2021 the emission from the

production of electric cars can be up to 70% higher than petrol models and said it would require more than 30,000 or 68,000 miles, or up to 68,000 miles for an EV to become greener overall, which typically takes four to nine years. Now, bring in the New York... 77,000 miles is about 125,000 K. And then bring in the New York Post article that says Ford Motor Company reportedly has plans to fire at least 1,000 salary and contract workers. The auto giant looks to offset the cost investing in the electric vehicle market.

The move comes after Ford towed its ambitious, comprehensive plan to make the transition to an electric lifestyle on its website, noting that it has plans to invest more than 50 billion in electric vehicles globally through 2026. But not in wages. See, this is probably why, in a rare bit of foresight from the liberal government, when they're announcing all these grants for all these green jobs and everything like that, and they're making employment requirements a part of receiving the grant, because they're probably just barely smart enough to realize that that it gets really hard to keep all of it on

the balance sheet at the same time. And so they're going to say, okay, well, you know, we'll give you all this money so you can start this stuff. But while you're losing money, you still have to keep paying your guys. So do you still want to do it? That's probably what they're doing. But this, so the Daily Mail article, though, this is, I think this is the best part, is that it actually talks about how Rowan Atkinson, from,

Mr. Bean actually spoke up about this and how he feels a little dup by electric cars and he urged people to keep hold of their petrol cars for longer, which is what British people call gas cars. Just think about it for a second. The EV cars are so disappointingly not what people are led to believe that Mr. Bean had something to say about it. He said like eight words in the entire Mr. Bean, like the whole thing, movies included. And then he gets to speak up about this. This is like a monk breaking his vow of silence to say EVs fucking suck. Pretty crazy the times we're living in, sir.

Like, I mean, we've been talking on and off about this. The podcast has had different people on it. It is just full steam ahead into stupidity. We just keep going on this idea that, you know, these batteries and the low emissions and saving the planet and whatever and then you point out what are the batteries made out of what is the car made out of etc etc and you realize like we're just you know it's just like slight a hand and changing terminology and absolutely it is and you know Chris was bang on when she's talking about how the governments are trying to guide the herd in

another direction but the problem is is that there is no other direction to go to this is that direction and it it's no better if you really care about the environment the most environmentally uh sound vehicular purchase you can make is a used vehicle uh we haven't got an we we got ken mccam said just tuning in for the rants happy candid guys of course happy candidate can't where were all these people when we were having this argument earlier on about who wants a rants and everybody came through no rant no rant play the song play the song now it's all about it's all about the rants anyways i don't know i don't know i don't know Maybe the Rants just got better.

Zane's tune in and he said Mr. Bean was one, Mr. Bean was one the first to have a McLaren F1 roadcar as well as one of the first crashes, one million F1. So there you go. Zane is the guy that's the main sponsor of this week. So I'm curious, he didn't say great rant twos. Maybe he was like, it's a park. Maybe he wants his money back. Maybe he was wanting the other rent that I didn't say because I was like, oh, if it's a sponsored one, this one might be a little bit too edgy. Yeah, because people are worried about twos being too edgy, like, oh boy.

Here we go. France finally does something worth talking about. Man, if you haven't seen all the crap going down in France, this could have been the Twitter files this week, the amount of stuff. Because the only place you're seeing it is Twitter. Is Twitter, that's right. The French government decided to shut down internet service in certain areas amid riots turned violent to prevent spread of false information. Police officials quoting France interior ministry said the ban on social media is to secure the life and property of the citizens. I'd like to point out in the middle of COVID, Australia did the same thing.

Just a just a side note on shutting down the ability to communicate among citizens. There's a there's been a couple other places that have done it. There was Egypt did it a few years ago, a couple other places in Africa, right? Yeah. But yeah, this is what's going on in France right now. These are the mostly peaceful protest of 2023, right? And then the security reinforce a suite of emutis did a communicate to press. And my French is a little bit sloppy.

But they said Putin, riboflavin, and ha, ha, ha, surrender, flirtly. And then something about equalization. Well, here, and look, this is somebody stole, a man steals a bus and rides to the city during French. riots. Okay. So that's one of the videos. That was probably Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock right there. And then this is Jim Ferguson. He said France is in trouble

the scale of these riots is moving into uncharted territory. If there was a mass uprising, even their military would struggle to contain it. Has a new revolution begun in France. Will the W.F. Macron keep his cooler. Will he lose his head? Nearly 500 public buildings burnt down. 667 people arrested.

249 police officers and gendarmes. injured 40,000 police and gen arms deployed, including the raid, the BRI, and the G-I-G-N, a level of violence higher than the riots of 2005, according to the interior. And then here is, oh, no, I did it. This is Justin Trudeau commenting on France. Yeah. President Macron and I spoke today.

We discussed the current wildfire situation in Canada. And thank you. McGraths to worry about the fires in his own country right now, I think. Hey? Hey, maybe just a little bit? Just a little bit. Oh, man. Anyways, we have reaffirmed our commitment to working together to tackle climate change

and address its impacts. And then here's a video montage while we're going. These fires would have been so much less horrendous if it wasn't for climate change. Climate change is making the burning of France so much worse. Yeah, this is like the video is coming out of like. And then of course, because it's France, there's a horse riding through. Oh man, I feel for the people just listening this morning Because there's a two-minute video of France

And like fireworks going off, fires everywhere. Yeah, but it's not like celebration fireworks. No. There's the fireworks pointing at buildings kind of fireworks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, it can go on and on. You get the point. Oh, my God, it looks like Montreal the last time they lost the finals.

And Zane says, lost my phone in the car at the start. Couldn't type fast enough then. There you go. Okay, well, there you go. So he was listening. I don't know. I still don't know if he liked it or not, but that's fine. We'll figure it out, I'm sure.

Oh, man. Okay. Canadian press needs a shoe up the ass. Tell me I'm wrong. Yeah, no kidding. The federal transport minister has been loyal to the Adidas. Oh, man. As I read this article, I just,

anyways, the federal transport minister has been loyal to, I got to, will myself to get through this to, the federal transport minister has been loyal to the, the Adidas brand ever since he was a kid playing soccer in Saudi Arabia. And he was the shoe of choice for kids in the late 70s and early 80s. Algebra said the ones known as the originals, black with three kicks, stripes down the side, blah, fricity blah. The nostalgia is what drives his current speaker collection, which often turns heads as he

strolls through the corridors on Parliament Hill or attends a G7 meeting where his counterparts comment on his kicks. Is that what turns head when he walks by? Or is it the fact that people assume it's bring your kid to work day when this four foot six fucking idiot strolls through and fucks everything up in the airports? You know, when I had Chris Sims on today. Yeah.

And she's talking about all the stuff, you know, the second carbon tax, all this stuff. You'd think... That the transportation minister would have more important things to talk about than his fucking kicks? Then... I'm not even mad at him. His foot transportation?

I'm mad at the freaking journalist who wrote this thing. Well, that's why... That's hence the headline, man. I'm right up. I'm right there with you. Like just, just ridiculous. Here's, Zane finally said two thumbs up for today's rant.

There you go. Oh, that's perfect. That's perfect. Did you see that, Sean? People like the rants. I guess so. Don't get high on your own supply. Okay, you may, I remember reading this story when it first happened.

Yeah, we covered it back in the name. And I remember thinking in my head, I really want to know. why, a guy whose brother who's passed away from fentanyl overdose, was interested in opening this. I actually was like curious. Because he gets for wholesale prices, apparently. Apparently. The man who opened the first store in Canada openly selling tested heroin, cocaine, meth, and MDMA has died of an overdose.

Jerry Martin died in Vancouver on Friday a few days after he was hospitalized due to the suspected fentanyl overdose. According to his partner, Krista Thomas, he was 51 years old. Although Martin survived the overdose initially, he remained unresponsive in hospital. and his family eventually decided to take him off life support. He previously told Vice News he had been addicted to cocaine and had been homeless for much of his youth. In May Martin opened up the drug store, the first brick and mortar shop in Canada

and the U.S. openly selling drugs that have been tested to ensure they did not contain fentanyl of other harmful substances. He was arrested within 24 hours opening the store in Vancouver's downtown east side, the epicenter of Canada's overdose crisis, and he quoted, I'm giving them addictive drugs, but I'm giving them safer addiction. of drugs, then you can get on the street

where they might be laced with fentanyl or some other drug, Martin had told Vice News during the opening. And this is the guy who died of a fentanyl overdose. You can't make this up. I kind of just want to laugh my ass off right now, Sean. I mean, we've been saying this is a bad idea forever.

The one guy who says, you know what, I'm going to open up a store and I'm going to sell crack. And then boom, he dies. of a fentanyl overdose. After touting himself as being the person that you can get clean drugs from. So was he lying the whole time? I don't know. Right?

Like this whole thing opens more questions than answers. But the one key answer, the one big takeaway here, I mean, drug overdoses is the leading cause of death in BC right now. Like it's higher than cancer. It's higher than strokes. It's higher than mostly peaceful protest. it's probably well it is higher than COVID deaths it's probably even higher than vaccine deaths

it's bad I just it's high and it's high and it's high and it's high and you know I just yeah like if you're going to do something that's going to if you're going to conduct a really shitty experiment that's going to kill off a whole bunch of the fucking population

at least do it in fucking Quebec I feel like this is time I hope they don't shit out of those shit on who shithawks Bit dirty shithawks You know when you don't have the NDP You just play it in a place of like

I can't believe this is actually gone full circle No no we got we got the NDP coming up soon I know but this is this is an NDP policy It's true I don't know if it gets you know Anyways this is a sad day for Canada You know Buffalo Wild Wings Migrates South Buffalo Wild Wings has closed its remaining

Canadian restaurants in a statement the U.S.-based chicken wing chain thanked its customers for supporting the businesses throughout the years. Buffalo Wild Wings routinely evaluates locations to serve our guest best, and we have made the difficult decision to close our sports bar in Canada, a spokesperson for the chain wrote in his statement Wednesday. See you later, Buffalo Wild Wings. I hope I get to snack on you when I go down south. So yeah, believe it or not, Canada seems to be a fairly unfriendly environment for businesses.

Do you think? Right. Well, I mean, there are sales of Bud Light probably dropped off a clip for one thing. But I imagine that's the same everywhere. Actually, I just heard today after I'd put the mashup together because of course that the bottling depot, one of the main bottling depots that supplies Anheiser Bush is laying off 645. They are not. 37 people. So this is now running downhill. The bottling depot that's like the people that make the bottles. Yeah.

Now have such a decrease man. They had, they had no choice in this. You know, they're just. This is the ripple effect. This is the ripple effect. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, Chicken wings leaving Bud Light Lane, Anheiser Bush. That's, that's great. That's fantastic.

That's music to Mike. ears to us. You took Buffalo Wild Wings heading south which I'm kind of sad about but I mean Yeah

We didn't have one here Anyways so what does it matter There was one in Calgary I think I'd never been there though Yeah there you go Maybe they've gone down further than I thought Because I remember going there Well back in the day

Probably in my 20s and thinking This is the greatest place ever But I don't you know It's fair There's one beside where Mel Mel's parents live in Minneapolis That we occasionally go to But Mel's not a big chicken wing person

And I need, you know, you need a group of guys or a group of wing persons to go try out the like 18 different hot sauces. Well, hey, I mean, it's one more reason to leave Canada as if we need one. Tell them to come to, come to Alberta. We'll bring all the chicken wings here. Come here. Turner calls out lying liberal. Canadian heritage minister Pablo Rodriguez says he was surprised by Google's announcement that it will cease hosting links to Canadian news outlets. Earlier in the day, Google declared that it will be removing Canadian news from its platforms

ending existing deals with local publishers due to the Liberal government's Online News Act. Online News Act, what's that you say? Well, it's formerly known as Bill C-18. The Online News Act forces digital giants like Google and Facebook parent meta to pay media outlets for content that is shared, previewed, or otherwise repurposed on their platforms. Meta has also confirmed that it is pulling Canadian news from Facebook and Instagram and ending deals with local publishers. such as one that supported hiring emerging journalists.

And then, I mean, I don't know, how much more do you want me to read on this? Okay. Well, you could, just the fact that Pablo Rodriguez had tweeted that he thought it was bullshit. Correct. And then, oh, and that it was going to put people's lives in danger, right? You know, with the wildfires and things like that. And so then Google said, well, no, it's not going to. going to affect emergency, you know, announcements or anything like that when your phone goes

to apes shit for some random. I could, I could pull that up. Yeah. Yeah. So it says Google's plan to block news links could put lives in danger as wildfires rage. Minister warns. This was Globe politics. And then readers added contacts and thought people might want to know. Google has clearly stated the changes in response to Bill C-18 would not affect emergency alerts or provincial government emergency feeds. Importantly, this change will not impact SOS alerts, which surface relevant and credible safety information during crisis situation. So once again, readers adding context for the win. Yeah, absolutely.

And I mean, think about it, like this whole online news act, let's say you're a billboard company and you just put up a billboard. And then you get the government to pass a law saying that companies need to pay you to advertise on the billboard. that's basically what happens here like that's what this is Google and meta are basically online billboards

for Canadian news and for other news across the world right and so you've got this symbiotic relationship did you ever think you'd be defending meta and Google against the liberals I know I'm just saying I'm just saying absolutely right you know it's like I'm defending them and I'm like

nobody can find her shit anyways too's even if we wanted to because I mean like for a while there, I feel like anything we ever said on all these big giants was suppressed anyway. So it was just like, I was, I was trending. The My 222 cents podcast

was trending in Malaysian government. I think it was Malaysia. So there's so many VPNs going right now. Can you imagine that my 22 cents is trending in fucking Malaysia, dude? Can you imagine making a spoof video of a bunch of Malaysians going, I don't know how to do. accent but two hundred well no they're not it's not the great no i understand i understand that but

that's the whole spoof video come on that'd be fantastic we should talk to a bunch of malaysians and get that working on right now and they'd be like oh we've never heard of it we've never heard of it we never heard of it like a 45 seconds trending on their political uh yeah how unreal would that be anyways yeah come on have a little bit fun with me here twos today i'm working on it he's work he just yeah american style politics on the right in Canada. I'm just going to bring up the, bring up the tweet. I'm going to bring up the tweet. Here it is. Here it is. Okay.

Jagmeet Singh, here he goes. He wants to cancel student debt. In the U.S. conservatives are using every, this is Jagmeet's saying, folks, on Twitter. In the U.S. conservatives are using every tool to stop progress for young people. In Canada, you can stop that from happening. Cancel student debt, sign our petition. And there you go. That's what he's trying to do. the line from... Yeah, this is classic.

The liberals do it whenever Roe v. Wade comes up. They're like, oh, well, the conservatives want you to not murder your babies, right? And so it's always them importing American-style politics. Oh, it's this. Oh, it's that. Oh, well, we also want to cancel student debt.

Not because you believe in it, but because you think it's going to get you a couple clicks and maybe a couple votes. Make, I don't even understand the argument behind this. Explain it to me. What is the argument behind canceling student debt? I don't know. We just paid off our Mel student debt on Friday. I'm quite excited about it.

I guess a few. Oh, congratulations. I was a big accomplishment. It took some time. I'm pretty happy about it. We celebrated with a bottle of champagne on the deck. It was a lovely evening. I was choked.

I spent a lot of money going to school, and I paid cash for it. And then two years later, Christopher Phelan was like, oh, we're not going to charge interest on these loans anymore. I would have totally done that. Right? But here's the, like, the best argument or the most the probable argument, I guess you could say, because here's the thing is when they've got a shitty stance,

they don't ever want to defend it. But my understanding is that they're saying that these kids were too young when they signed up for this. And they didn't understand what they were signing up for. And they should be protected from the ramifications of it. I tell you what, all we should do is just get protected people and add the state up responsibility on to the government some more. Just give the government all the power. They can just handle, they can just forgive all that.

Be great. Okay. Think about it this way. You'll own nothing and you'll be happy. You'll eat crickets. It'll be fantastic. I mean, if all the crickets get eaten, who's going to respond to my joke, Sean? Here's the thing, though.

If 18-year-olds are too young to understand the ramifications of what they're doing. What do you think Billboard Chris would have to say about that particular stance? I don't know. Billboard, Chris, there's a, there's a freaking champion, isn't he?

Oh, yeah. Carmen Pool Welder said, just one more thing for the middle class to pay for. And those working hard to join it. Oh, man. Oh, man. Okay.

Is it possible? Oh, no, wait a second. Did I skip one? No, no, I got this one. Okay, so, never mind. America's self-politics. Is it possible that this could get any stupider? This one right here, the CRA.

No, this is exactly what you would expect. So that's why the CRA doesn't want to investigate. People will understand, we've been talking about this now, too, is for months, upon months about how the CRA didn't want to investigate where the money went from Serb, Right. Okay. So here we go. Okay. The Canadian Revency Agency Commissioner Bob Hamilton says it is not worth the effort to conduct a full review of more than 15 billion in pandemic wage benefits of the auditor general. This is an article that we covered months ago. Yes.

This is an article from January. Okay. Correct. Yes. Can I go on? Yeah. Sorry. I just wanted to frame it a little bit. Would you, would you, would you like to, uh, would you like to read the article, too? I can't right now. It's stuck behind a paywall. Um, Mr. Mr. Hamilton, maybe, I've read too many global articles before this week.

So you go ahead. You can have this one, Sean. You go ahead. Mr. Mr. Hamilton made these comments on Thursday to MPs on the House of Commons, publicly accounts, uh, public accounts committee, which is looking auditor general, Karen Hogan's December audit report. The report said the auditor general and found, 4.6 billion in overpayments to ineligible recipients. It said an additional 27.4 billion might have been paid out to ineligible people in businesses and should be investigated further. The larger amount includes 15.5 billion for employers that receive the Canada emergency wage subsidy,

which was the focus of Thursday's hearing. And then there was another article that brought on the Canada Revenue Agency has fired 20 of its employees and it's investigating roughly another 580 others for claiming the Canada that emergency, well, for claiming Serb while working for the tax authority. And the auditor general, Karen Hogue also warned in a report in December that, oh, and that carries on the same. And both Hogan also found the CRA and the ESDC were not prepared for the daunting task of recouping all that money, lambasting, lambasting the lack of rigor in their recovery

plans and efforts that meant they would likely fail to recover significant amounts in overpayments. Yeah, that's because it all went to them. Okay, 600 people collected two grand a month for two years is just a little bit shy of $30 million. Okay. So here's the thing is we've been saying for months. We're like, why the hell? There's 27 billion unaccounted for dollars here that they thought were fraudulgely claimed. All right.

But it's not worth the effort. We're not going to look into it. It's just too much. You stupid people wouldn't understand. but we're CRA. We got this cover. We'll find other stuff. And then they go after Shopify.

Everybody who sold some random little fucking thing on Etsy is going to get fucking audited. But they're not going to go after this giant whale. That's the $27 billion. Well, here's why, because it just came out two, three fucking days ago that there's 600 people in Revenue Canada, which is about 1% of them. Because 60,000 people work at Revenue Canada. Is that not insane?

by the way. It is. Okay. And 600 of them are being investigated for gaming the fucking system. And here's the thing, Sean. Do you think this is the first time they've done something like that? Do you think it's the smallest, the biggest thing they've done? Do you think that the people who work in Revue Canada who are being investigated for this thing

don't have a few other fucking skeletons in their closet? Because I bet you they don't have time. And I bet you they're way bigger than this. You know what it needs. It needs Elon Musk to walk in. and just cut all the loose way. Honestly, Elon Musk and six guys from the oil field could run that entire fucking organization.

I'm sure of it. It's not worth the effort. Like, think about that. Like, yeah. Yeah. I mean, we just, I mean, we. It's so embarrassing. It's laughable is what it is.

Yeah. And then six months later, the truth comes out that they're the ones they'd have to investigate. Well, no fucking shit. It seems like, uh, that's us. And that's us. And that's us. Let's just say it's not worth the effort.

And we'll just carry on with life. What does that sound like? And then we'll get them to write a story about Adidas on algebra and we'll call it today. Yeah. So we get that shoe story. You guys, you're going to talk about it anyways. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Sometimes you just got to laugh, folks. Because, I mean, what else can we do at this point when you get such stupidity going on? Politically correct insult or absolute fire. I'm just going to bring up. the tweet first for this one. It says, two what? And it says two high calorie humans wanted for allegedly setting fire to an apartment in Toronto.

That's a Tuesday headline, I swear. I could never have come up with something as good as these politically crept leftist idiots came up with accidentally. I mean, like, okay, well, how can we describe them? Well, what are their defining features? Well, they're fucking huge. Okay, well, what's a nice way to say that? Well, I don't know. We could say that they're big bone.

No, that's been used too much. Oh, we can say that they're hefty, that they're gargantuan. No, no, no. We need something nicer. What about just high calorie? Oh, oh, that's really nice. That's really pleasant. can you like it's just such the it's such a big cell phone Sean go ahead

I assume you noticed that one of them's holding the gas can and the other one's holding the spout which is just they went in to burn down a building or set a fire and they got one holding this you know it's just like these must be well I mean this is all government employees I was just going to say it's got to be a union you know like you need one person to carry the gas can and the other one to carry the nozzle. Well, what if you just poured it directly out of the gas can and didn't use the nozzle?

What? Are you some scab that hates unions? I don't need to read this. I saw the toast. I'm like, this is a toothed headline. I mean, somebody beat them to it. Anyways. I could have never done that well in a million years. Hot sauce

prices. You know, this one gets close to home. Hot sauce prices heating up, okay? Hoyfong Foods Incorporated a California-based hot sauce company that supplies bottles of you got it, Saracha. That's that rooster sauce you love so much that all of us love so much.

Man, slurping that rooster. To restaurants, grocery store. We should come home with a hot sauce. That's a brilliant idea. I know a guy. There has to be a guy that we know. Well, no, there is. The Tuesday match of pot sauce.

We never got around to finalizing it, but we nearly had an additional sponsor. for the live stream of the election. That's right. And it's a hot sauce company. The mashup, the rooster hot sauce. I don't know, the Tuesday mashup. Man, this is brilliant.

Anyways, we'll pin that, and we'll get back to it. Anyways, Saratra. Back to it. They supply restaurants, grocery stores, and other food retailers throughout the country that has been struggling to keep up with demand through droughts, while droughts in Mexico kill off essential pepper crops. It's that you can People, the story goes on the talk about the bottles

But the recognizable green top bottle with a colliculically Can't even say that word Colicolical Coal? Clequally. Is that how you say it? Referred to as rooster sauce In reference to the brand's rooster logo

Are being listed and sold for around 30 plus shipping Which includes high fongs 9, 17, and 20 ounce bottles All time, at the time of the publication, Some sponsored sellers on eBay They had people paying as high as $27 to $72 for a bottle because there was a shortage right now in hot sauce. And I'll say this, Saratra hot sauce is top, freaking notch. Well, it's not as good as the other one,

but we'll see if we can come up with something for that. But the best was they had at the bottom where they were talking about how much they were just paying for like the packets, like the ketchup packets, but with hot sauce and it was something like 10 bucks each or something ridiculous like that i can't like it was just pay would you like hot sauce that much to pay 10 dollars for a packet of hot sauce not that hot sauce yeah i mean i don't know any hot sauce we'll see how bad inflation gets shot fair enough fair enough i mean what's what's a

meal without a little i i had just because i've been traveling so much and then then i i had just because i've been traveling so much and then you just kind of like realize that you needed a stick of deodorant when you get wherever you're going and you buy one and I ended up with this giant stockpile where I didn't have to buy deodorant for like a year and then I finally got you know down to like my last stick and I'm like okay well I got to get some more deodorant and then I was looking at this one that I thought was like a premium brand and I'm like there's no way in hell I'm going to pay seven bucks for a stick of deodorant and then I was there with Mrs. Tews and she's like,

it doesn't matter which one you buy. You're paying $7 or you're not wearing deodorant. They're all $7 now. Deodorant hot sauce. And so I'm just saying the prices are going up on everything. The prices are going up on everything. Fair enough. We heard second carbon tax July 1st and, you know,

Chris Sims breaks it down pretty heavily. It's a fine dose of reality if you ever need it. And you're right. Things are going up and they're going to continue to go up. so we'll see where a packet of hot sauce gets us. Yeah, that might be a steel of deal at a year or two. The third iteration of the Twitter files here on the mashup, which means a new mashup song.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills, but like me a nightmare for people. like you.

If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you. I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you. I will find you. I will kill you.

Did you... Sorry, how much of that movie is actually in this clip? Like, does it just keep going and going and going? I mean, I'm quite taken with the idea, but I feel like you could have... I don't know. It's Liam Neeson. I could have left him for five minutes and people would have been like,

Liam Nasons. Talk about Liam Nesance? Yeah. Anyways. I thought it was a nice fit for Sound of Freedom. It releases Tuesday, July 4th, and it's all across different theaters. So it's in Lloyd Minster. It's, well, here.

What's your postal code, Tuse? Ooh. Oh, yeah, you don't want to do that. Okay, here, I'll show Lloyd. So anyways, you can go to angel.com backslash freedom. It brings you up and then it shows what theater in your area has it. So it says it's playing tonight even 9 p.m. And then every day 315 and 9 here in Lloyd, but only for a couple days, right?

So it's not this long stretch. So people need to go support it. Of course, it's the story of Tim Ballard. It's Jim Caviesel's new movie. Well, like I say, I just listened to Jordan Peterson and he had Tim Ballard and Jim Kavisel on exceptional podcast and I just think people need to go watch this support this and open up more of the conversation on on child trafficking like I mean it's I don't know it hurts my brain as a parent you're a parent I sit here and I go human trafficking is

among the world's fastest growing criminal enterprises and is estimated to be a hundred fifty billion dollar a year global industry that's not now that's a globe but I have had Paul Brandt talk about it he's got not in my city and he talks about how it's happening here in Canada as well and you go okay so let's just you know the only way this gets to exist is if we don't educate herself so you know educate yourself see what the movie has to offer and

do a little deep dive and maybe there's some things we can do around our areas to make sure it doesn't enter here that's pretty fair Zanes chiming in saying Calgary landmark theaters have a dozen shows this week. There you go there you go so I mean

to me if people haven't looked up sound of free and what it's about, I would suggest you watch the trailer. It's all over the place. If you want to go down a little bit of a further deep dive, just YouTube it or go to Twitter. Because if you type in Sound of Freedom, you're going to get a ton of interviews with Jim Caviesel, Tim Ballard, and like what they're talking about is disturbing, disturbing stuff. I just think it's important that people know to go and support it because, I mean, obviously,

for our theater here and other theaters to take a chance on bringing it in. I think it's important to show what people think of that, you know, and supporting it is really big. We've had a couple different shows in the May Cinema here in Lloyd, too, is that I've been really impressed by that they've brought in, and maybe I'd never paid attention before, and maybe they've been doing it for a very long time. I'm sure they have, but I thought it was super cool to see that they're bringing it in.

I assume it'll be in here for longer than a couple days because it'll get supported and everything else. And you know, the best thing, well, maybe not the best thing about it, but I mean, the best thing you can really do is kind of just throw a little bit of support behind something like this. Like this is a guy who I'm very sure has suffered professionally for taking a personal stance on things like this. I would agree. I would agree. Okay. Well, we go from child trafficking.

Let's end on a little happy news, shall we? Dundern gets her done. And I'm going to bring up here. This is awesome. Okay, from the worst of humanity, probably to the best of humanity. On Canada Day, communities across the country celebrated with flags, parades, music, and fireworks. But the town of Dunders, Saskatchewan had a different idea to spend candy breaking the world record for the biggest gathering of people dressed in inflatable dinosaur costumes. The idea came about when Gary Grady,

who owns Big Murs Tavern in town saw a social media post about the previous inflatable dino world record a gathering of 380 people in Oregon. Oh, they blew it away. They blew it away. And he thought, well, we can do that. So he set out to break the record.

On Saturday afternoon, his hordes of dinosaurs descended on the town. He knew his idea had paid off. The first dinosaurs arrived in early in the afternoon, finding their way to Dundern from all over Saskatchewan and beyond, including some from the United States, others from as far away as the UK. And they just kept on going.

Those must have been taradactyls. Because I assume they flew over. I think it was 1100 and change is what the 1100. 163 was this tweet. But yeah, how cool is this? I mean, and bonus, now there's more to see in Dundern other than just the giant pile of garbage. I like, oh, that's not what I'm.

Blackstrap. Blackstrap. That's where Blackstrap is, Sean. There's, there you go. So look at all the, like, my youngest would have loved this too. Like, look at all the freaking dinosaurs. I would have loved this. How the heck do we miss this? Like, we should have had the Tuesday mashup strutting around in dinosaur suits, you know? Okay.

You've really got to pick up our game here. Hot sauce, dino suits. I didn't know about it until after the fact. Okay. Well, I don't, you know, fair enough. So how about this? All right? We could just throw it out there.

if you're doing some kind of a community event like this some kind of cool thing like where you're just trying to set a world record for the most dinosaurs or you've got a bond spiel going on on the weekend or some random thing like that hot sauce competition we'll give you a quick shout out right i agree i i 100% agree because i'm like this should have been like i just at least we could have supported it on the mashup you know we could have been dressed up as dinosaurs or something like i i feel like there was a way and my kids would have loved it and everything else. I mean, my youngest, literally

for about, you know, he's, what is he up? He's up for at least 12 hours of the day, for 11 of those. He's literally roaring. Talking about dinosaurs. Rex. Yes, that's all he does. All day long. It's just like, what's that sound? Well, he's imitating a dinosaur, I think. That's what he does. He's three.

Just imagine how pissed off every single person in East End is right now. You get, yeah. I got to go back. I got to go back here. Here's Zane. I first heard of Tim Ballard on Glenn back show five years ago. Awesome man. Scary backstory all, by all means. And then, uh, he also said,

only us green bloods could pull off a win with that many dinos. Is he from Saskatchewan too? He's, well, he's living in Calgary. I don't know. Zane. Are you, are you, are you a Saskatchewan boy by by, by roots? Because that would be funny. Because it seems like this show is followed by, uh, uh, a lot of people in Alberta from Saskatchewan. Correct. And then Brianna Rhodes said, I remember school field trips to Blackstrap and she's laughing. So there you go. North Battleford. Look at this. North Battleford for Zane. Okay. All right. Well, just, just please don't stab us. I grew up, I grew up right around the corner from North Battleford. So it's,

I can get away with it. Oh, his two's outing himself a little bit here, folks. There's a lot of communities right around the corner from North Battleford. So yeah. It's true. It's true. And, you know, show out to the North Battleford stars. They lost in the finals, Junior A, of the, what is it now called? It's not the Royal Bank Cup. It's the, what is it called? Centennial Cup? Not Centennial.

God, I don't know. Anyways. He's a 20-year transplant, as Zane says. We're having a little fun with today's sponsor. He's glued right in. I like it. Anyways, that's great. That's the mash-up for this week, episode 62.

We went from the worst of humanity to the best in Dundern, Saskatchewan. I think that's pretty cool. We do have this, too, to throw out to all the listeners. We had sober October coming with a coffee sponsor, and they had to pull out. And so October is open for a sponsor. I think that is four episodes, I think, in October. I would like to stick with the theme of sober October. So, hey, Tuesday is...

I mean, keeps their own, I guess. Yeah, as he sips a logger or something. But I'd like to push them, folks. I'd like to push them. Anyways, October is open. We're looking for a sponsor there, so we'd love to have you aboard. Either way, episode 62, and I don't know about you over there or two, but here, like, the storm clouds are just flying in like crazy.

It's just super overcast. Oh. You never got back to me on what? And George, he's saying, hey, George, we're looking for a sponsor for October. Would you like me to send you his prices? I tell you what, this is interesting. Oh, because George, I'll tell you what. I'll send you the price list, George.

I tell you what, how's that? Anyways, there you go. That's how quickly it happens, I guess, here. I don't know. Yeah, okay, so October's book, George is already in. Anyways, that'll do it for episode 60. George, let us know if you want a rant or not. Please, no rant.

I actually, I think he's going to say change the song. George isn't a fan of the opening. Oh, yeah, that's right. George doesn't like the song. Oh, my goodness. Oh, this could be an interesting October. It could be different song October. That could be, uh...

Oh. No music. What did we just sign up for? What did we just sign up for, Sean? What did you get us in to? Oh, this should be fun. George, we look forward to sober October, and what that means is no laughter at all.

Just no music, no rants, just straight into it. It's going to be very sober. Today in the news, things happened. Oh, man. Okay. 62. We'll catch you next week. I believe we're going to be doing it a day early, folks. So I know that's going to, I know it's going to screw up a ton of people, but Sean is on the road, and we're going to make sure that a Tuesday mashup happens.

So me and twos are going to flung sway the schedules a little bit. So I want to forewarn everybody of this because there will be pissed off people that it won't be live streaming Monday at 9. And I know exactly how people get. he's saying yes to Rance and Gail is saying thanks again guys yes to all of you 62 we'll get out of here and we'll catch up with you by the time

a couple weeks rolls around Sean's in the States and I'm going to be having a little bit of fun so either way I'll catch up in a week Thanks man
