So I have this dream last night, and I don't know if you guys like me, but when it's hot out, I have weird dreams. And so anyway, Jordan Peterson wants me to fix his lawnmower, because his lawnmower isn't working. I'm like, okay, well, for some reason I'm going to rush. I'm not quite sure why. But I ask him, I'm like, okay, well, what's wrong with your lawnmower? The problem is a disconnect within the power structures inherent in the system. I'll take a look at it. And I take a look, and it's weird.

It's got this, like, crankshaft coming up to a pulley at the handle, and then it goes to another pulley, which goes back down to the blade, and there's supposed to be a belt going across it. But there isn't one. It's a dream lawnmower, okay? But anyway, so I'm like, okay, well, Jordan, it's missing this belt. When you bought this lawnmower, did it come with a spare belt or anything like that? And he goes, with no force driving it,

It has no inherent purpose. And I'm like, motherfucker, does it have a belt or not? All I heard was you had a dream about Jordan Pearson. Was the audio not working? No, no, I totally was. I totally was. No, I'm teasing you. Okay.

Well, nobody, whatever you want to do. Nobody wants to hear it if I do it like Sean. What does that tell you? Because you can't be me, big fella. Nobody can.

I'm just that bloody talented. That's what it tells you. Love Shack Baby. All right, here we go. The United Kingdom employees are working from home more than workers in other European countries. A new survey found. Britain's work remotely for an average of 1.5 days. What?

They'll keep going. You'll figure it out in a minute. Almost a half day more than the international average global only can't spend more time logging in. I don't know what I'm waiting for. I'm waiting for. I'm waiting for you to realize that you're reading the wrong article. Oh, maybe I am. Oh, here you go. Here you go. This is what he's talking about.

He's talking about this fucking, we're having, we're having, this is how, well, I told you 65 was going to be fun. I just, you know, why not start it with the bank? How about this? If you're more outraged that this 940 square foot post-war dwelling was called a shack, than the fact that it's listed for 539K and most Canadians couldn't afford to buy it, then you should really get yourself evaluated. There you go. I mean, it is a bit tiny, but here's the thing.

So Pollyev called this place a shack. And then not the people who, well, it's a rental. And then the people who live there were outraged that they called their home a shack. The Cambridge Dictionary. definition of a shack, a very simple and small building made from pieces of wood, metal, or other materials. That literally is what you're looking at right there in the picture. It is a shack.

This is the whole Eskimo thing all over again, where people are just mad because they don't bother to look into what the board actually means. Or like when they use populist is a bad thing. Oh, this guy's a populist. You mean he wants to follow the will of the people? That's what makes him such a horrible person. Imagine a politician doing that in this day and age. How terrible.

Okay. So yeah, this is a shack. And he shouldn't apologize for calling a shack a shack. Sometimes you can call a spade a spade. People need to read books. 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. No offense. No offense.

Justin Trudeau has been voted Canada's worst prime minister in the past 55 years by three out of ten respondents in a new public opinion survey from Research Co. Published Friday, the opinion survey also found that Trudeau's father, Pierre, was preferred as Canada's best leader, attracting 20% of the vote. there you go tos think about this for a second so the people who and I feel like there's a lot more than 30%

that would say he's the worst right but the people who would say that Pierre is the best are also the people who would say that this is the word like this the fact that they would say Pierre is the best I would say means it's heavily slanted towards middle eastern and Middle Eastern Canada Okay?

Sure. Because there's nobody in Alberta who's going to say Pierre was the best. The guy just scorched earth the whole province for a generation, right? So of those people who tend to look more favorably upon Justin Trudeau than everybody else does, they still think he's the fucking worst. I think this is a bullshit article myself. Oh, it is. It's, it's.

And I would say this. Of course, Justin Trudeau is going to be the worst. Look at what we're going through right now, and everybody's going, oh, Justin Trudeau. Justin Trudeau is name recognition. Do you know who, and I'm testing you as much as I'm testing the listener right now, who is behind Justin Trudeau on the worst listed prime ministers? Tommy Douglas.

Stephen Harper was number two. Oh, from the article. From the article. Okay, do you know who number three was? Oh, shoot, I can't remember. I want to say John Crutchhead. Kim Campbell, number four. Doesn't matter.

The whole point is, I, I, like, look at this list and I go, I know Justin Trudeau and Stephen Harper, and I go and I don't know anything before this because I didn't pay attention to freaking politics. It even says 25% of the respondents said they weren't sure. That's because they weren't fucking paying attention. Okay. Kim Campbell

is third, which by the way she was prime minister for like an hour. I know. If they went to political nerds and did this, okay? If they went and asked a thousand political nerds, who was

the best and worst? I would be like, this might actually be worth something. When they go, we surveyed a thousand Canadians. I go, a thousand Canadians don't fucking know anything. We're all the, like, we don't, we're not paying an appose attention. A thousand Canadians vote for the fucking liberals. Well, I mean, I'm just saying, you know, when, when you look at this, if there was hardcore people and they actually did those, like, pulled those people, I'd be like, okay, now I can actually look at this. 25% didn't even know who to respond about.

Well, Harper was second best and second worst. in this survey. Blaine Stephan says move to Lloyd and we have an entire airplane hanger with living quarters for 310K. Is Blaine trying to offload an airplane hanger? Is he, is he, like, are we in the real estate advertisement now? Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

All right, here we go. Try that in my country. Oh, wait. Jason L. Dean's current single. Try that in a small town has drawn praise from fans who approve of its pro-gun, pro-police message of a small town justice, but others have criticized the song as being filled with racist dog whistles, celebrating sundown towns, a term for towns of neighborhoods practicing racial segregation via discrimination local laws or outright violence and intimidation.

Just four days after the song's music video was released on July 14th, CMT pulled the clip from circulation, according to the report from Billboard, though they confirmed they had have removed the video, CMT declined, comment further on why to try that in the small town video was removed. And then I tell you what,

after that, too, is she got rowdy all over the place. Where would you like to start? Do you want to go through all the different tweets, pictures, or do you want an early comment?

Why don't you just start laying out the shit takes on it? And I'll jump in here. I want to start right here. I think this is great. The left boy... The left boycott of a song made it a number one hit. So his plays went up or his downloads went up 99% or 99% after this whole thing blew up.

And the rights boycott of a beer caused the company to lose $30 billion. I don't think it gets, that's about as bang on as you're going to get folks. Okay. Here. That's the old. Here's Jake Owen. First, Jason Isabel said, dare Aldean to write his next single himself. That's what we try in my small town.

And then Jake Owen replied, Jason, you're always the first go behind your keyboard and spit off with this stupid shit. In my small town, you just walk up to the guy and be a man to his face if you want the smoke. Not tweeted him, tough guy. Okay, this is really funny because I'm going to be a dissenting opinion on this. First off, Jake Owen was a golfer who started playing guitar when he was in his 20s because he busted his leg and was laid up for a few months. and then just he's this kind of pretty boy that fell into being a country music star. He was even bragging one time about how he got, he paid some guy to fix up a nice Jeep for him so he could take it mudden,

not that he did it himself. And to this, Jason Isbell's guy's credit, I have no idea who he is. But Jason Aldeen writes almost none of his songs. Kick It in the Sticks was a single that Brantley Gilbert released before Brantley Gilbert was famous. my kind of party, same thing.

Dirt Road Anthem was Colt Ford. Big and Rich have written probably like a half dozen of Jason Aldine's hits. Brian White has written a bunch. Basically all the old singers just right hit songs and pass him on to Jason Aldine. I think out of his 20-year history career, he's maybe written like five of his singles. So it's, if he'd have been funnier about it, it would have been hilarious.

Because one of the funny things about Jason Aldeen is that, yeah, he can sell records, but he can't fucking write for shit. And if you made fun of him about it, and you were funny about it, there's a lot of hilarity in there. So, I mean, his whole idea was that, this whole argument stemmed from this guy saying,

well, you know, Jason Aldine saying, oh, well, that's what this song is about. That's not what this song is about. And this Jason Isbell, he's basically saying, motherfucker, how would you even know you weren't even in the room when it happened? When you put it that way, too, too, is you need to hook up with them and tell them how to tweet. Tell them how to write a funny joke on there.

Travis Tritt also chimed in. I would also like to remind my friend Jason Aldean that Twitter and social media in general is not a real place. The views shared by many accounts on this platform are not actually representative of the vast majority of the population of this country. Say what you want to say. Be who you want to be. Damn the social media torpedoes. And then, of course. that guy. Of course, two's

favorite had to chime in. She just had to. You know, two's favorite. I did want to say this. I was like, man, I'm tired of given this chick just completely unnecessary traction. Scroll down a little bit just so nobody can even see the face. Just go with the content

of this because she's not even we're talking about it. Okay, we're not going to, we're not going to say who it is. All right, fair enough. What Brian is doing here is literally the goal of dog whistles. What? But he didn't mention race? Yeah, he just talks about good old boys in small towns and taking care of our own. Everyone knows what he's talking about. Pretending you don't helps normalize this. Yeah.

Okay. I can't tell if this person is just that out of touch with rural communities that they don't understand what's being said here or if it's just the bullshit anger farming hate clicks, where they're just trying to be so off base that they know that people are going to jump in and be like, you are an idiot. Because, yeah, small towns take care of their own. It means their community. Yeah, I know.

Yeah. I mean, here, just a couple of lines from the song, okay? Because I'm like, okay, like I'm reading through and me and Mel got talking about it, that it was the video of like the riots and stuff is supposedly why it got taken off of. Why? They were mostly peaceful. And the lyrics say,

sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk, carjack an old lady at a red light, pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store. Yeah, I think it's cool. We'll act a fool if you like it. Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, stomp on the flag and light it up. Yeah, you think you're tough.

We'll try that in a small town and on and on it goes, right? How racist are you if you think that saying robbing liquor stores is a bad thing, is racist? Oh, goodness gracious. Did you tuck, before I hop on to a new subject, did you tuck Sound of Freedom in here just for shits and giggles, or did you want to put that somewhere else?

Oh, I just thought it was great that, no, it was just in there because... Okay, well, then we're going to pull it up. Every time they try and cancel something, they just strizan it into the stratosphere, and it becomes mecca strizan. Oh, meca strasah. So I went, we went and watched. Have you gone and watched it yet, Too? No, I have not.

Okay, so Sound of Freedom just hit $100 million at the box office, and the tweet goes, Hollywood is pissed. It was here in Minnesota on a Friday night. It was three quarters, maybe seven-eighths solo. It was a good crowd. And it's been out for weeks already. Yeah, and honestly, they're going to see what? And I brought it up and told him about it. Oh, okay.

And then mentioned it to a couple others. Like, oh, yeah, we've already seen it. And you can tell, like, there's a little bit of a little bit of a buzz to it. And then right at the end, I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. They don't. Jim Caviesel has a little end of the movie that I thought was really, I've never seen done in a movie before, after the credits. Kind of like a bonus clip, if you would. Like a post credits thing for Marvel?

Like Marvel, except it's not like a bonus scene. It's him talking to the audience. And I thought it was super, super cool. I've never seen anybody do it like that before. I'm not saying it hasn't been. done. I just thought overall it was good. And I was talking to dust last week. They were cool to see the sound of freedom, you know, taking off like that. And I got text today about a new documentary coming out on the 28th, and I believe it's the essential church. Am I saying that right? It's about the

pastors from, two of them from here in Canada, one from the states, I believe, getting jailed over their churches being open during the COVID and all that and fighting the man. that way. So there's another, it seems like there's a ton of good content coming out that people are trying to get out the door and a whole bunch of people, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, if it's movie theaters, don't want to bring it in. But I think they're starting to realize if they listen to certain people, you know, I think of Lloyd, you know, private business. Give the people what they want. And what do they do? You're in the entertainment business. And what do they do? They fill the theater over and over and over again. So I think that's been

super cool to see. And you know, I saw somebody else. else post this on Twitter. But let's be honest, the only people who are mad about a movie that speaks badly towards pedophile child traffickers are pedophile child traffickers. They've been trying to put it as like Q&On conspiracy, this and that. I'm just like, oh man, you have sold your soul to do that job when you have to spoke that off, right? Like, I mean, yeah, it's, it's, anyways, we could, we could go on and on about, about that. Okay, here we go. Muslims declare jihad on a whole alphabet soup that I can't rattle off here. And we'll go here. The greater Essex County District School Board has issued a statement in response to one of its teachers being caught on tape,

berating Muslim students for skipping an LGBT Pride Day saying, The incident is being addressed internally. In the audio recording from a Northwood public school teacher tells her class that the Muslim students abstaining from pride was an incredible show of hatred. that was incredibly discussing to have witnessed. In the past two months, the school board has been the subject of community criticism and protests over its LGBT policies. As previously reported by True North, the school board allows children to change their gender or pronouns at schools without the knowledge or consent of their parents. One of the school board trustees supported of the policy claimed in a CBC interview that only a vocal minority of parents opposed the gender identity policy. Yeah. And then at the very end of the True North article, the school board also opted to temporarily ban parents and other members of the public from Board of Trustees meetings in June amid outrage over the policy.

People are too mad. And we don't want people. We're tired of hearing how mad people are about this. So we're just not going to let them talk. I mean, we've been seeing all the different things, you know, come out with some of the things said about Trudeau. It is the protests that showed up this week. We're going to get to that. And, yeah, it seems, you know, whenever people are upset, they don't want to let them through the door to have their day. And what happens with that, too, is what? If you don't give them their time, they don't go away. Now it continues to boil and it's going to get worse and worse and worse.

and we're starting to see that all boil out everywhere. It's happening all over the place. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, just Lumsden, for example, or this one or any other number of, you've seen clips of this stuff for years, but it's just, it's kind of starting to steam roll now where parents are saying, I need to have a say in this. I need to know what's going on. I'm really interested to see.

I haven't listened to the interview with him yet, but I want to hear. what the Saskia United Party wants to do about this because I think that there's some really good common sense stuff that people could do. Like what if, what if for example you had to provide

digital copies of all the sex ed material to students ahead of time or to the parents ahead of time? Right? Just anything you want to show the kids has to be emailed out to the parents a week ahead of time. And then

all of the sex ed stuff, there's recording in the classroom. So if you try and pull a fast one, it's on tape. And then if you do try and, you know, do something outside of that pre, not screen, but pre disclosed curriculum,

you get find something crazy like $100,000. Oh, they only, they only find you $100,000 for not wearing a mask. Yeah, yeah. That's a really good point. well yeah i mean i was teaching them about felching but i was wearing a mask i was wearing a mask i was wearing a mask do you have any idea how hard it is to felt somebody while you're wearing a mask oh man i've been in way too many arguments over that uh a to z card list and i always bring up

feldring uh you know it's like what are you going to say about that honestly what argument can you say about felching there ain't a good one not a single one anyways the c and RCMP stands for China. A retired RCMP officer has been charged with foreign interference. The Mouni said in a news release Friday, William Mosher 60 allegedly used his knowledge and his extensive network of context in Canada to obtain intelligence services to benefit the People's Republic of China. The RCP in Montreal said in a news release. The release alleged that Mosher contributed to Chinese government's efforts to identify and intimidate an individual outside the scope of a Canadian law. Tasha Adams told Radio Canada that Masha works for a firm based in Hong Kong

that was collecting information about an individual in Canada. That information was being gathered on behalf of China, which wanted to target the person in question, Adam said. She added she did not know the nationality of the person being targeted. Yeah, I mean, it goes on and on and on. Atcher is from Hong Kong. Can you bring up the picture of Madsher? Oh, God, yes, I can.

Give me a sec here. Just scroll up from where you were reading. No, it doesn't work that way, too. It just doesn't. You know, if you think I don't have the actual news article up here, you know, I do this little thing called like pulling and pulling and piecing and everything else so I can read what I want to read and not the entire article. Anyways, you know, twos wants the end. Here, I got it. I got it.

Here it is. Here it is. I got it, Sean. Welcome to Mashup 65. Welcome to Mashup 65. All right. So this is the guy from Hong Kong. This guy is from Hong Kong and then was a police officer in Montreal.

So I guess sometimes it actually is the last ones you would expect. And also Surrey, BC is transitioning to a municipal police force. Well, we can certainly round that off. The city of Surrey must continue with the transition to Surrey police services since it's plan to revert back to the RCMP isn't safe. BC's public safety minister has ruled. It's just not safe to go backward. Minister Mike Farnsworth said Wednesday. And it's for the second time the city has failed to demonstrate moving back to the RCMP will be safe and not impact other communities across the province.

I actually listened to him talk there for the entire news conference. It goes on and on and on and on. You know, Surrey's mayor, Brenda Locke, did not hold a press conference Wednesday, but said in a statement Farnsworth decision is disappointing misguided and based on inaccurate assumptions. What has occurred today is the undermining of local government duly elected by its residents. Locke said the province eight-month delay in coming into a final decision on Surrey policing cost the city $60 million, although she didn't cite a breakdown for those costs. And I mean, it goes on and on from there. And talked a little bit from police chief, Norm Lipinski, pictured here,

who you may recognize from footloose. I actually miss that. But now that you mentioned, it's a pretty close doppelganger. Oh, yeah. Did you literally put that in just to have the doffel ganger there, just to bring the picture up? I was just looking at it right now, and I'm like, how is that not Kevin Bacon?

Like, seriously. He hasn't been acting lately. He's just working in Surrey, British Columbia. Like, the writer's strengths going on. I had to get a job somewhere. I just thought I'd be cheap. You know, I'm going to put it to us to be like, man, that looks like Kevin Bacon.

Let's do an article about this. Let's just do an article about it and have Sean read it all off and at the end go, and it's Kevin Bacon. Next one, please. You know what? Part of me is upset that you would think that I would do something like that, but also you're totally right. Pfizer vaccine declines trial, trial rather than be put on trial.

Pfizer Incorporated said on Friday that it had withdrawn an application for emergency use authorization. of its COVID-19 vaccine in India after failing to meet the drug regulators demand for a local safety and immunogenicity study. The decision means the vaccine will not be available for sale in the world's two most populous countries, India

and China, and in the near future, both countries are running their immunization campaigns using their own products or other products. The drug regulator said on its website, its experts did not recommend the vaccine because of side effects reported abroad were still being investigated. It also said

Pfizer not proposed any plan to generate safety and immunogenicity data in India. Yes. So this is from a couple years ago. This is when they declined. So the vaccine was going out everywhere in the world. And there was one country that said, we've got about 13, 14 percent of the world's population. But we want to be able to test it out first and make sure it's safe.

And they're like, okay, we're going to go everywhere but this country. Like, imagine you just shaving. 13, 14% off of your potential gross margins. And they're like, yeah, that's more important. Anyway, fast forward two years. And the motherfucking factory gets, what, hit by lightning or a tornado or God just shout on it or something? Breaking, Fising, for those people, violated today in North Carolina.

Karma question mark. And, yeah, I don't know. Yeah. So now, here we are this week, the Pfizer manufacturing plant. has died suddenly. But it's hard to say whether it died of COVID or with COVID. Hope they don't shit on your bubbles. Shit on who?

Shit hogs. Big dirty shit hogs. If anybody died in that factory, would it be a vaccine-related death? Two years ago, it certainly would have been. Dongs not delete. Ah, frick. Tews, read it off for me, would you? Dong's not deliciouso, but disqualify in Ottawa, Italy.

Whatever. I got to read one headline and I screw it up. I'm not disqualifying in Ottawa. That's what you're about to say. Yeah, I'm trying to say. We usually just talk about Ottawa in the mind. All right. Anyways, the Miss Italy beauty pageant will not allow transgender women to compete in the contest.

organizer said, Miss Italy patron Patrizia Mara Geliniana said contestants must be a woman from birth and the competition would not be jumping on the glittery bandwagon of trans activism. It comes after the Netherlands crowned. We're going to bring it up here, folks, for you. I'll zoom in here. There you go. It comes after Netherlands crowned its first male-born winner of a female beauty pageant, 22-year-old Ricky Valerie Coley on July 8th.

Can you zoom in even more on the face? Just get right in there, get pixelated. I think that is the first miss any country person, not only with a dick, but also with a middle tooth. Is that also post-op? Oh, man. Is it like,

here's the thing. Okay, look, I, get the fact that all the beauty stuff is superficial or whatever, but this is literally the requirements of the contest. You cannot tell me that somebody with a middle tooth is the prettiest woman in your entire fucking country, unless

it's Britain. It's like the Netherlands want to gaslight the farmers a bit more, you know? Like, I mean, is the first male born to win a beauty, a women's beauty contest. you just you can't write this stuff

I mean I don't even know at this point we need Tuesday to write headlines anymore we might as just read them straight from the book Well why did you guys pick her as the Why did you guys pick her as as Miss Netherlands Well out of all the contestants She had the most beautiful set of balls She had the best dick out of the whole group

Even the dogs want you to be done with it too Oh From a man winning a beauty contest to cocaine sharks, the great white powder epidemic. Move over cocaine bear. Have you seen cocaine bear? We had this conversation. We did a review of cocaine bear. I made it halfway through the movie, and I was just like, I can't do this anymore.

This is a terrible movie. The only way you might be able to get through there is if you are a gun and illicit substance or something in your body. Because I mean, like, that's what I said. Anyways, when I reviewed it. Move over cocaine bear. There's a bunch of missed opportunities. Here comes cocaine sharks.

In what could be the plot, I feel like this would be a better plot line anyways. Honestly, anyways. And what could be the plot line for the next cheesy marine theme disaster movie? Move over Meg 2 that's coming out here right away. Jason Stacey. Seriously? Yeah, Meg 2.

Jason Statham is back in it. Just saying. But anyway. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, a movie movie movie Scientists think crazed and hungry sharks could be feasting on bales of hallucinatory

drugs dumped off the Florida coast. Yet while cocaine sharks, a highlight of Discovery's upcoming shark week, does indeed examine if the ocean predators are tromping on floating pharmaceuticals cast overboard by passing traffickers, marine scientists who made the TV program, say it's a purpose is beyond gratuitous entertainment. If these cocaine bales are a point of source of pollution, it's very plausible that sharks can be affected by this chemical. Cocaine is soluble that any one of those packages open just a little. The structural integrity is destroyed in the drug and is in the water.

In the search conducted during six days at sea in the Florida Keys, the ecology sensitive island chain off the state of the southern tip of Florida. And the British marine biologist Tom Hurd observed sharks to exist. having peculiar behaviors. A hammerhead, a species that would usually swim away from humans, came directly towards the drivers, moving erratically. They also observed a sandbar shark swimming in circles as it apparently

focused on an imaginary object. They're not. They're not even going to smoke of cocaine. They're eating bales of weed. Okay? And then later on in the article, it's saying that, like, in the Florida Keys, there's bales of cocaine washing up, like,

every week. I know. I was like, so do we just go down there? Yeah. Are they free? Does they claim them? I wonder how many people are like, I gotta get down on the beach. I mean, I feel like

Ron DeSantis went to them and said, we need to promote tourism in Florida. How can we get more people in Florida? Why don't we just say giant blocks of cocaine worth tens of billions of dollars float up on shore every week and it's like winning the lottery how did the tuesday mashup earn all its money well we took a road trip to florida we went to florida earned some drug money and came back and we were just you know it was easy actually quite easy spent a couple days on the beach sudden ourselves did a podcast found a fallible and called it a day

can we go back to the beach man uh uh the right to defend other people's property. So, first I'll go back to 2018, okay? Canadians cannot shoot at someone who comes onto their property to commit a crime, and that includes warning shots unless they feel their life is under imminent threat. That's because Canada doesn't have anything close to Castle law, which permits the action in some American states. We've talked a lot about this.

We've talked a lot about people breaking in, and then what is force, what's excessive force, all this different things. So, BC prosecutors say they won't pursue charges against a man accused in a violent confrontation that left a ginole man with a gunshot wound in his abdomen after finding he acted to protect himself and other homeless campers. The incident unfolded on March 12th when Clint Smith and a group of other men went into a homeless encampment to retrieve property, he says, was stolen from his auto repair shop. You may recall this article because we talked directly about this. Anyways, during the altercation, Smith was shot in the stomach.

Craig Truckel, 37 was later identified as a suspect and charged with pointing a firearm. But in a statement released Wednesday, the BC Prosecution Service said, evidence suggested Truccle and other campers were acting in self-defense at the time and that it could not meet the standard for proceeding at trial on this or other potential charges. What Toos is pointing out here, and I think he's done a very good job. I haven't actually pointed out anything. I just hit two articles. Well, I tell you what, what you're telling me, or what you're showing me, is when one hand they say, you know, we can't prove self-defense.

So if you murder somebody or hurt somebody or shoot somebody in your house, even though they were breaking into it, we have to charge you. That's what they're insinuating in Canadian law. So when a law-abiding citizen has somebody break in and I do that, there's a very good opportunity I'm going to, or chance, I'm going to jail for it.

But when you go out and steal something and then that person comes into your encampment, homeless shelter, homeless encampment, and you shoot them, well, then we can't really prosecute that. Yeah, because they're being super mean. Try that in a small town, Sean. I don't know. Isn't it crazy how our Canadian justice system seems a little bit fucking wonky?

Well, I don't even actually, you know, I don't even, I don't even know what to say. I thought the two articles you sent, I was like, yeah, like, like, like, Actually, did you watch the news clip of them talking about it? And the guy being like, he's not the criminal here. Clint Smith is not the criminal here, but they kept clipping him. So it actually, you can't tell what he's trying to say. This is why mainstream media sucks. Oh, I should have watched that now.

Because they suck, though I didn't watch it. They interview a guy. They clip him up a whole bunch of times. And what you hear at the end is Mr. Smith isn't the criminal here. But you have to read the article and actually figure out who he's talking about because the way they kind of make it seem is like, well, maybe he did something wrong because he went in there with body armor and gloves on

and he was going in for a fight and whatever else. Oh, yeah, and then they said armored gloves. I can almost guarantee you that was just like impact protection glove. By the way, just work gloves. Just went in with work gloves. Yeah. Wow. I mean, there's nothing that scares homeless people more than work.

So, yeah, it's probably a hate crime. Free market capitalism, except when it affects polling. Tews, you're going to have to remind. Am I reading off this entire thing on the auto insurance brokers? Is that where I'm at here? Well, okay. How about this?

Daniel Smith last year put in a rate pause. She went into insurance companies and said, you guys can't keep raising your rates. And I don't know. It's weird. Maybe I'm living in a bubble. I pay less now. than I did 15 years ago when I first moved to Alberta, right?

It just keeps going down for me every year. It's probably going to go up ever since I killed that deer that's shit on my car. But. Shut up to Jack. We got, so Jack's clipping all, all, all,

uh, podcast episodes. Yeah. Which obviously the Tuesday mashup rate in the mix of that. And he clicked one and he left that in last week. We were having to chuckle about that, about the deer that. Oh,

I howled. You know? So shout out to you, Jack, wherever you're at, Well done, Jack. Yeah, yeah. The deer that shoot out my car. Anyways, carry on.

You don't speed if you want, but don't get caught. I'm not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice. And, you know, maybe just don't smash into stuff and your rates will go down. But everybody, apparently other than me in this country seems, or in this province, seems to be getting their rates going up every year. And so Daniel Smith stepped in and said, we're going to put a stop to you increasing your rates. and then they just said, okay, well, I mean, if we can't increase our rates, we can't really do business here because we can't make any money doing it.

And we can't cover our costs. So we're just going to go other places and sell them insurance instead. And so, yeah, it's just. Well, also here. UCP is all free market capitalism and freedom this. And everybody should be able to decide, except for insurance companies, fuck them. kind of fuck them yeah

it yeah this is what happens when you put your thumbs on the scale it doesn't matter what party you're at do you want me to read the article

uh the next one yeah we're on we're going everything in Quebec is free including inmates see it's funny because we give them so much fucking money every year

more than 200 inmates some of whom are incarcerated for violent offenses have been freed early from Quebec provincial jails by mistake in the past eight years. So in eight years, 200 inmates have been let out early. Incident reports obtained by the Globe and Mail show that corrections staff, as well as the court clerks and police mixed up inmates,

miscalculated sentence lengths, miscommunicated with each other, errors that led to premature releases of 175 people between January 2015 and January 22. In addition to those cases, 29 others were released before they should have been between April 2020 and March 223. Ministry of Public Security spokesperson Lois Quentin said. While most reports show that the officials realized within a day that they had freed an offender early, others note mistakes were identified for several days or even months.

Officials scrambling to contact offenders and get them back behind bars often had phone numbers for the person or their relatives that turned out to be useless. When contact was made, some offenders were cooperative, others were not. Many of the incident reports note that authorities were still looking for the offenders when their reports were filed. In the case where offenders were prematurely released after violent crimes, including assault and sexual assault, correctional services note they had to notify victims, you think?

Okay, first off, right off the bat, it's just the low-hanging fruit of this. I feel like there would be less miscommunications, fewer, pardon me, miscommunications and screw-ups and interpretations of all these things. the Quebec jails if they spoke fucking English. Secondly, you know, I wonder why we have no Quebec listeners. Good old good old tooth, you know.

We've been waiting for somebody from Quebec to be like, oh yeah, listen to you guys all the time, love it. No, no. The only one who takes the punishment is the dairy cartel. You know, I'm waiting for him to be like, I stop listening to you fuckers. Well, I mean, we made fun of the Netherlands, so yeah, he might be a little choke now. Maybe he,

does he have a middle tooth? Yeah, he just turned. it off right now. You know he just turns off. Winner of Miss Netherlands, the dairy cartel. Yeah, he's going to milk that for all it's worth. Anyways, anyways, low-hanging fruit, Quebec, free prisoners. I mean, they're just letting people out. You know, when we have a bad day and things go off the rail on a mashup, you know, it's not like we're releasing a sexual predator out into the world again, you know?

We screw up and we, I don't know, get. We start reading off the wrong article, hypothetical. That's right. Hypothetically to start match of 65. We don't have to call up the victim of a sexual assault and be like, hey, so that guy who raped you, we accidentally let him out. He's not in prison anymore. Oh, he escaped? No, we, uh, yeah, we just, we opened the door.

We gave him all his stuff back and called him a cab. but he's not supposed to get out for another 50 years yeah I know but 50 years in French sounds a lot like an hour so it's it's just crazy to me you know like one time you're like oops I mean like you know things can happen

this is what happens in the public sector 200 times 23 5 6 7 8 200 times 8 years how many people get fucking at some point You gotta put those people behind bars.

Bullshit jobs, head, shoulders, and belly button above rest of Canada. Okay, so here, we're gonna pull this up. It's Heather, she tweets out, of the 25 sectors in Canada with over, greater than, $200 in labor productivity per hour, 23 are in oil and gas, mining, and utilities. Oil science contributes $998 per hour in labor productivity to our, economy. That's why we call them the healthcare sands. Canadian average $61.1. Okay. Auto manufacturing, $60.9. But at the top of this list and twos you're going to see here, comments on this, it says the number one other nonprofit institutions serving households.

And you scroll over and it's 1,117.2. Okay. Mm-hmm. So then you go, grant making twos goes, can you expand on this a bit? And Heather replies, it's a black box and the only thing I can figure out is soliciting grants and donations, which could work out to such a high figure. I checked census 2021 data and it is a very small number of workers. And when I clicked on, this is what it brings up. Non-profit education, nonprofit social assistance, nonprofit arts and entertainment recreation,

religious organizations, other nonprofit institutions serving households. So this is such a statistical outlier that it's double the next highest industry in the entire country. And every single one of them says it's nonprofit. And what do they do? They get a bunch of free money from the government. Well, you know what? People who work for a living are suckers. Okay.

If you want to make real fucking cash, you either. Either A, start winning the lottery, B, start picking up bales of cocaine in fucking Florida, or C, you apply for grants. You want to come down in the States? Maybe we could just go to Florida. I feel like there's a real opportunity here, eh? I don't know. Am I allowed to go into the States yet?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Anyways. I don't know. How do you follow up people getting free money from the government? Well, of course, don't air, donors. And here we go.

Okay. Them. Alberta politics isn't that weird. Me. The Alberta government is selling an adult-sized donair costume with a current bid of $420.69. There you go. That's about as weird as it gets.

That comes right from the Alberta website. Sorry. This is the Alberta website where they auction off old surplus things and random stuff they don't want anymore and things that they bought that they thought they used. but never ever did. Like photocopiers and fax machines

and computer screens and chairs and a whole bunch of random stuff. Coal mines. Yeah. Sure. And so this thing has had, like if you look at the bid history, there's thousands of bids and it's currently,

like if you go to this link, it's currently up to 16,000 and change? It is not. For this costume. Yeah, here. Pull it. Yeah. Pull it.

Pull up the new one. Pull up the new one. It said $16,000. I could have swore. I looked at the link earlier today and it wasn't that high. $16,020. Oh, my God. Steve.

Last 10 bidders total 1,710 bidders. Click here to view all bids. And you can go all the way down to where it started at $50. And then was eventually going up. Somebody named DunoX had a bit of 42069. Nice. And it's all the way up to $16,000 for this don't air costume. Imagine.

That was commissioned in July of 2015. Who was in charge in July 2015, Sean? Rachel Notley. Okay. And what was going on in July of 2015? I don't know. I think Fort McMurray. The wildfires?

Yeah. while the fucking, while the economic backbone of the country was burning down, they were getting

their costumes built. And you know what? To their credit, it took a long time to pay off, but this thing is at $16,000 and it's still got another 20 days on the auction. This might be the only time ever.

You know, it's funny though, TUS. The NDP have made a financially sound decision. I don't. You know, the funny thing is, though, it's a non-profit thing.

profit that's getting government money that's probably going to end up buying this bloody thing because they don't care about their money anyways who the heck is spending i want to interview the person who wins this somebody find me who ends up not winning it who pays 16 grand for it that's what i want to do i want to know who the heck is spending 16 grand on a don't air suit that's what i want to know you know the funny thing was was i was going to say because we were going to bring this up and i was like sean you know what this would be the perfect mascot for the mashup you know just government large yes because when i looked at it it was somewhere around 500 bucks or something and i'm thinking like i don't know maybe we could just do some crowdfunding thing like just get 500 people to each

give us a dollar and then we could have this mascot you could wear it one week and i'll wear it some other week and maybe you do you know wear it in s&P prevents events and stuff like that and it would just be really fun it would be the stupid thing that the government did that we could just poke fun at forever but now it ends up being a bigger like this if you actually went and include this with the 2015 data depending on how this goes the nDP might not have even been in deficit that year oh man okay here we got a couple comments um uh zane says tuesday they're keeping an eye on you and may let you in the states then shadow you for being boldly green blooded uh well that's the thing the only thing i have in my blood is green, so I don't even know if I can go into the States, right? Oh, man. And then, Eileen Clark, this is going way back. Mulroney must be on the list. GST question. Yeah, he was right up there. I can't remember exactly

where he was. Well, I can tell you. Let's go right back here, folks. Here. Here's Canada's worst prime minister to the last 55 years. I'm skipping back to number two on the list of today. Malruni was number four with six percent, said he was the worst. Behind John's. Justin Trudeau at 30%, Stephen Harper, 18, Kim Campbell, 7, Brian Muleruny, 6, Pierre Trudeau 5. There's your top five. Oh, the rooster wrestling, the donair would be a great t-shirt. Somewhere, somewhere.

For the love of God, somewhere, somebody do that shirt. I'm sure you could get AI to do it. I was getting, I was mucking around with trying to get AI. Jack, once again, is listening to this. and we would like a rooster wrestling in the donair. Have you tried to get AI to draw anything? I haven't.

You know that classic debate about the toilet paper front or back and then some people say like, this is the original patent drawing and it's rolling over in the front but I think that's absolute bullshit and it works way better rolling behind. And so I tried to get ChatGPT

to draw that patent diagram but with the toilet paper facing the other way, it's like, oh yeah, sure, I'll do that. Give me a minute to think about it. And then it gives me all these weird, random things. Most of them aren't even toilet paper. And there's one of like this old-timey guy on a top hat and he's got this weird elongated toilet paper roll

that looks roughly phallic. What in the fuck? So anyway, I don't know. I feel like if we tried to get AI to make a thing, of a rooster wrestling a donor mascot, it might come out absolutely amazing. I think it would. I think it would.

I tell you what, we're going to find a way to make this happen. We have to make it. That's a great, that is way too good of an idea to pass up. Rooster wrestling, a donor. Okay. How to say something without saying it.

If you miss this. This is beautiful. This is beautiful. Make sure the sounds on. Sound, oh, no. Come on, Sean. Get the sound on here. Oh, the sound is on.

last year. That is a reflection of all the work that we've done across the ecosystem together with our partner airlines, with agencies, reducing processing time, reducing wait times, and fine-tuning operations with our air carrier partners. And we see the great results that have come from that. This is great. This is the CEO of Pearson Airport talking about how things have really turned around

and how much better they've gotten. And it's funny because Omar, Algebra, just according to sources, is not going to be cabinet minister anymore after the cabinet shuffle that's coming up in the next couple days and won't be running for re-election. This is his debacle, which is being compounded by somebody who is probably maybe a diversity hire and this is the problem we were talking about a month ago where you're like, well, if there's a black woman in charge of a country that's absolutely shitting the bed, is it because other things are happening or is it because they just hired a person to check

boxes and they don't have a clue how to run things, right? It's a fair question to ask, right? But you just, you don't ever know because that's how some of them get their jobs, but some of them get their jobs because they're good. But anyway, this, so this is the art or this is the clip of her being interviewed and saying everything's really great. Everything's great. Everything's wonderful.

It's like that naked gun, like nothing more to see you here. Everything's fine. Go back to your homes and everything's blowing up behind them. and then all the flights are delayed canceled like i mean it just doesn't get much better than that folks okay we got we got we got we got shirley deegging time chiming in hello shelley don't go there with a don't go there with a i get an artist to do it for you i tell you what if there's an artist listening i'm all for it uh maryly lefleur yes i saw this and started laughing and i assume that's the video clip of uh uh uh of

the Pearson Airport. Yeah, anyways. You know what we get this week, Big fella? Do you know what we get this week? Well, you tip me off to it yesterday. I don't know exactly where you're going with it, but I know roughly it. In honor of no longer the Twitter files,

we now have the X files. Which works out perfectly given the... Oh, sorry, go ahead. No, you ruined it now. Now you've ruined it. Buzzard... Never mind. We're not going to talk about the X files. In honor of Twitter being branded X, it now is no longer the Twitter files, it is now the X files.

Do you think a trans woman is a woman? No. Why not? Because I think that women are capable, generally speaking, of having babies and they have female genitalia and they have an X chromosome and I think the biological markers are relevant. So now we don't have the Twitter files, we have the X files because it literally is the X-files. literally is the X-Files, which matches the theme music of the segment. And so I went to Twitter, and I found what was trending. And Jordan Peterson, of course, you've already brought him up. This was what was, Joe Rogan was trending, sorry.

And here's what it is. Here's what is it now right wing. Joe Rogan, Russell Brand, physical fitness, sports for women, and opposing child sex slavery. Soon we'll have it all. And then, of course, it's Mr. Burns. Excellent. I really have nothing more. Cool. So, so yeah, Twitter is.

What is next to us? I guess what I was going to ask is what is next that they're going to put on the right side? Like the right wing saying your right wing, if you now are into or say this or whatever else. What's next? What does twos and as Crystal Ball say? Because, I mean, personal fulfillment. They're going to talk about how, you know, happiness, yeah, just any sort of personal fulfillment, self-actualization. All of that stuff. Mental health is a far right problem. Okay?

They're going to talk about that. But this whole, just circling back to the Twitter thing, it's interesting. So it's not going to be Twitter anymore. It's going to be X. It's going to be X. And so even if you open it right now,

you can see in the very top there, it doesn't have the Twitter bird. It's got an X. Right up here, folks. Yeah, they're starting to roll this out. They've got, they've got the branding on Twitter's main. page and then for some of the

multimedia stuff I guess you could say they've got like a beta testing website up for it now and it's it's I don't know have you seen it what do you think about it so far X? No the beta testing of the multimedia yeah I don't know yeah it's okay like I don't know have you been have you yeah we do I'm more curious Have you been to the website? Yeah I'm more curious on your thoughts on on changing it from Twitter to X.

Like, why we, here, I'll, well, no, it's, it's, it's good and it's interesting. And I really like what they're doing with changing up how the videos are presented. But I feel like you, okay. Oh, it's, it's, it's, watch it. Is this a, is this like a, oh, how big is the delay? No, go back up, go back up. Well, I mean, it's a few seconds. Okay.

All right. But that's on the old style Twitter stuff. Have you seen the way X is actually putting it forward now on the beta testing? No, no, I guess not. I don't know. What do you talk about? Okay, well, just, it's in the beta testing, but go up to the browser. Yeah.

Or your URL, XVidos.com. I thought. You almost had me, dudes. You almost have me. Oh, folks. that have been something. What a jackass, you know? If you breathe fresh air in the prairies, you'll be branded right wing. That's what Zane's saying. And Toos thought he had, you almost having. Oh, it was this close.

Oh, it was this close. Anyways, you know, I knew Mashup 65 was going to be full of it tonight, but of course, uh, uh, twos is, uh, anyways, I go back to it. twos is full of it tonight. Do you like X? Are you like, whatever, it doesn't matter. Do you think it's cool? Are you like, at the end of the day, Twitter, you know, like whatever? Where you, were you beholden to the bird and Twitter? Because people are saying he's walking away from a known resource in Twitter.

Well, you've got the intangibles, which is just the brand awareness when it comes to mergers and acquisitions and stuff like that. But if he's not selling it, it's not like he's walking away from the brand awareness. it's something that's actually going to build up hype. And depending on how he rolls it out, it could be really successful. And the thing about it is, is that he has already seen exactly what not to do

in terms of social media rebranding with Facebook and meta, which was just an absolute flop. So he's got a, he already knows where the landmines are. So all he has to do is just not Zuckerberg, the whole thing. And it's bound to go better than, than Facebook did.

So I think it's, he's got potential to just, you know, learn from the mistakes of others and throw his own little bit of fun and creativity and his whole legion of super intelligent employees at it. Yeah. I guess only time will tell. Zane chiming in saying the stank of Jack Dorsey days are gone by. The old stank. We don't speak French around here, Zane. Girls get it done. Here's Tuesday's a happy news for you.

this week. A woman in Germany is being dubbed a brutal blonde by European media after she dragged a climate change activist from blocking traffic as the public's patience wears thin with a frequent protest on the roadways. I'm actually going to, I'm going to do it. Here, let's bring it up. That way we can actually show people what the heck we're talking about. Well, I'm talking about her here, Sean. Come on. Okay, so let's get that out of there. Here's the protesters. Yeah. So read the caption, Sean. I'll keep reading. The video showed a woman screaming at a climate change protester

to get up from blocking a road in Botrop, Germany, according to a video posted by an activist group. Then the woman grabbed the activist by her hair and dragged her to the side of the road. When the girl returned to block the road again, the German woman dragged her by her hair a second time. And you can see her right there. Dragging her by her hair pulls her all the way across,

says, don't do that again. Oh, I just, that is, that is beautiful right there. That is just I'm not particularly partial to blondes, but that woman is gorgeous. Here it comes a second time, folks. Here it comes a second time.

She's had enough. Crops her. No more. Get out of the way. We're moving the vehicles. What a doom cop. Well, that's going to do it here for a mashup of $65. another week, another mashup.

We got bonus coverage, 65.5. Coming up on Patreon. Coming up on Patreon tomorrow. So if you want a little more mashup, head on down to the Sean Newman podcast, Patreon. It is a paywall, folks. Don't feel like you have to. But in saying that, we're going to have a little bit of fun tonight.

And if you want to see what that's all about, head on down there tomorrow. And you can find out all the fun things that me and twos are going to do for a couple extra bonus minutes here tonight after we get off this. So thanks for dropping in. Last week's was pretty fun. Yeah, well, we took the cutting room floor and we added about four or five additional

items into about a 15-minute segment A-2s. Yeah, and then, yeah, so we just, we rapid fire did a bunch of stuff that, it's not that they're, you just kind of just go with the feel of whatever is going to fit well together. And I try and keep it between, say, 10 and 15. usually around 10, but I'll extend it a little bit if I need to. And then some of them, you know, they kind of match thematically really well. But then the other ones where it's a good story, but it just doesn't quite fit with the flow.

It ends up just getting cut. Which is why we haven't talked about things like how, you know, the homeless problem in Toronto has Olivia Chow getting stonewalled by Christia Freeland for more money. because Christopher Freeland said that we're not just this, we can't just throw money at everything. You know, like, you finally found something you can't throw money at or the strike in Vancouver ports. Because, yeah, fuck Vancouver, right? But it's an interesting story.

And so stuff like that, right, which aren't the things that we talked about either. But the point is, is that there's interesting stuff that we don't talk about and some of it got covered there. Well, here you go. So 65.5 tomorrow on Patreon, on, be ready for the Mario Lemieux of the mashup, the 66th, where Toos is going to do the ad read, which should be, well, a debacle, I'm sure, but to any which way I'm sure it'll add for a chuckle or two at the start. Either way, that's it for us tonight, folks, and we look forward to catching up with you next week.

Tews, until then. Awesome. Thanks, buddy.
