Starting point is 00:00:01 You know how... There's this one guy that about once a week. We're on the same thing together. And we do this show. It's called the Tuesday mashup. And I am twos. And so it's Tuesday and it's on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Okay. So then he has another show with Viva Fry. Fry. And what day does he pick to release it? Monday. Absolute missed opportunity. What the hell was he thinking? 95% of the time, the guy's great, but every once in a while, I just want to beat some
Starting point is 00:00:52 sense into him. And not only that, he sat down with that dude for like two hours and not even once did he call this guy Viva Fry from Montreal. Not once did he call him French Fry. That was the rant you had. I tell you what, I record it on a French. I just don't live stream. What am I, we live stream.
Starting point is 00:01:17 You should have released it on you. So I'm supposed to wait a whole week. It's Friday. I'm supposed to wait a entire week. Or just recorded it on Thursday and then release it. I worked around, I worked around Viva's schedule. I worked around Beavis schedule and he said we could do it Friday at this time. And I said, okay.
Starting point is 00:01:36 And he goes, do you live stream? And I only, I only, I only live stream one time a week. It's with this guy named twos. He's kind of an ass. He has a very amount of opinions, vary all the time. He's a jackass. He talks a lot.
Starting point is 00:01:52 He seems to have a very opinionated, and you're off on this one. So, yeah, I guess maybe Viva Frye should have been on Friday. But we'll remember that one next time, Viva, when you come on. I did pitch him the mashup, but now I'm kind of wondering if that was a smart choice or not. You know, I don't think he quite picked up on where you were going with that. Yeah, but it doesn't mean.
Starting point is 00:02:13 matter. At the end of the day, I think we could get him on the mashup. And I think now that I know and he knows who I am, I think it'd be easy. And I just send him an email and be like, hey, you should come on this. I think, I think it's, but you got to play your cards right to is because I mean, you keep this up. We're going back to just the theme song. All right. Theme song. Oh, I'm sorry. Can you not handle all this. This is my Jack Nicholson moment where you can't handle the truth. I can't handle the truth. As soon as I pointed this out, you must have just been like, well, choose. day mashup, Viva Friday. Why didn't I do that?
Starting point is 00:02:48 And one of these days, one of these days, you're going to have one of your kids on the show as an interview, even if it's just for fun. And so you're going to have your little boy on here and you're going to release it on a Saturday instead of a sun day because this is what you do. You don't think about the marketing. And that's why I have better ad reads than you do. You don't think about how to market. Do you want to talk about who's bringing Mashup 68 this week? Renew production, automation, automation or optimization. Can't even say it anymore.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Yeah, renew optimization, right? They use microscopic little animals. It turns out there was more of you bastards who clicked on his link when Toos read it than when I read it. So now I got to give over to anyways. We were talking back and forth. I'm going to mute myself. So I can just say this. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, please allow me.
Starting point is 00:03:48 All right. So Renew, great company, small town Alberta. They take the first domesticated species in the world, which are microorganisms. Yeah, that's right, from beer. The first mic, not this stuff, but that's where it was first domesticated. And they use it to simply solve problems, right? Now, I know that there's going to be some engineers listening and they're going to say, oh, well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:04:14 If we had problems down hole, we could. And they're going to come up with some ridiculous fucking thing. And these are the keep it simple, stupid people. Just keep it simple. And they're wonderful. And actually, we were talking to them about this ball tournament that they were in Sylvan Lake this weekend. Sean, you can come back now.
Starting point is 00:04:34 That's okay. Are you sure you don't want to keep going? Oh, actually, you know what? Okay, perfect. All right. So he was playing for a team called the Sylvan Lake Gulls. And Sean said, oh, that's a great team name because Sean's a great salesperson and he's nice to people. I, however, think it's a horrible team name.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Here is a map of Sylvan Lake down here and Goal Lake up here. They are the Sylvan Lake Gulls. Now that implies the existence of the Goll Lake Silvins. And so the whole thing gets needlessly complicated. They picked like the one animal in the world that just fucked up the entire baseball league ecosystem. And I feel like you could have done better. Keep it simple, stupid. Just like what you do at Renew.
Starting point is 00:05:30 You can come back now, Sean. You have to let me back in there. Oh, a magnificent one. Go to Renew.net, R-E-N-W. That's you, you. Oh, that's probably why. more people went to mine because I specifically said R-E-N-U and you said R-E-N-W.
Starting point is 00:05:51 So people are trying to go to renwood.net. You know, I was told, I told Tuesday this, folks, at the start of this episode, as we'll eventually get to the topics today, I swear. But I told them, this is going to be it now. We have just started something new, thanks to renew production optimization. And that is, we're going to be doing different ad rates.
Starting point is 00:06:13 We're going to be checking statistics because if I got to listen to twos, sit there and gloat the entire episode. You know? He's still got to cover the news and stuff like that. He's not going to gloat the whole time. Oh, dear. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:06:27 All I'm saying is, this, by the way, is a victory beer. Let's get two things. I'm just saying I, you've already won this one. We didn't put a bet on it, but the next, when we're on the final one for a new, I forget who we have coming up in September. but we are going to do an ad readoff. We're going to alternate. Are we going to do this same week or different weeks?
Starting point is 00:06:52 Different weeks and then people click on the link if they feel like or whatever put out. I don't care. And by the way, Matt De Jong, the guy who said I got three out of ten on the ad read. It was a three out of ten. It was a three out of ten. They felt bad for you. They clicked on the link. They're like, oh, anyways.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Hey, man. If it garners success for our sponsors, I'm happy to do it. I don't care. I tell you what, we're going to be, like, this is going to be it,
Starting point is 00:07:18 folks. Like, I'm like, I just, I couldn't believe it when I got the email set to me. I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. You have got to be kidding me.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Take me yell and move on. I can't believe you're killing so much airtight. No. It's just flabbergastery. It's almost filibustering flabbergastery. Well, I'll switch the topic just quickly
Starting point is 00:07:36 before we get into the topics this week. I want to give a congratulations out to Brumann and his wife, Brin, they got married this weekend. He was my defense partner. I think it was for like eight or nine seasons, uh, two's and, uh, happy for the guy.
Starting point is 00:07:49 So I know that's, uh, that's probably should be at the end, but I thought I'd stick that in right at the start because I'm pretty happy for the guy. Frazy. And, uh, and, uh, and honestly, uh, that's where I'm at.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I just wanted to say fuck twos and, uh, his ad readability. Let's get to the show, shall we? Can't argue with results. Mm-hmm. Okay, here we go. But you could sure whine about them, Sean.
Starting point is 00:08:09 I tell you what? You sound like Justin Trudeau. right now, okay? He's never actually had a victory to gloat about. He's had three of them actually in a row. Right. Mayor may or may not ever own a home. Waterloo's region's red hot housing market gets hits close to home for Wilmot Township Mayor Natasha Salonan. Despite earning around 90,000 a year between her work as mayor, regional counselor, and with the local electric utility, she says she can't for to buy a home in the municipality she leads. I do live at my home with my parents, Sloan says. Living in this region is really not attainable for a young professional who has
Starting point is 00:08:50 university debt and I know I'm certainly not alone in that. Located just outside Kitchener, Waterloo Wilmot Township has a population around 22,000 according to the Waterloo Region Association of Realtors. The average home in Wilmot sold for 916,000 last month. And then we had Toronto Star back in June of 2023. A quote from there said, for most homeowners, the standard time to pay off a mortgage is 25 years.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Now in the face of crippling interest rates, some existing homeowners are seeing their amateurization period goes as high as 90 years, too, as their fixed payment variable rate mortgages adjust to automatically rising to rising in their interest rates while the monthly payments remains the same. And I have the calculator. I see you're slowly bringing up.
Starting point is 00:09:37 If you want, you can bring it up, and I can bring up something different if you want. Okay. All right. I wasn't doing it slowly, although I guess it's loading slowly. Motherfucker. There, is that what you want?
Starting point is 00:09:51 Oh, that's Wyatt. Ah, okay. All right. Yeah, fine. There you go. It's the exact same thing, but on my page. But your monthly payment on a $320,000 mortgage,
Starting point is 00:10:05 which is $400,000 with 20% down, which is like half, the price, less than half the price of the average house in this township, gives you a monthly payment of almost $1,900 at 6% and assuming it stayed constant the whole time, you would pay that off over 87 years, 84% of which would be interest. You would pay for that house four, five times over, almost five times over. So don't get an 87 year mortgage. That's a horrible idea. Well, yeah. This is what's now being offered. This is the best
Starting point is 00:10:44 solution to a whole lot of government-created problems. They artificially scarcify the supply by having way too much red tape in construction. You talked about that with Shane from Shane Holmes, whose last name alludes me. Wenzel. Wenzel, thank you. And then they artificially increased the demand, by bringing in every last goddamn refugee they could find.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Every last immigrant, every last person who has an inkling of coming to Canada. And so it's just tipping the scales and then tipping it further. And now this is the best solution. 16% of what you pay over 87 years, which by the way, I mean, you die with this mortgage, right? Well, I feel for people that weren't,
Starting point is 00:11:37 I feel too. for people that weren't paying attention. Because I'm not saying... Or the timing wasn't right for them. Sure. But like... If we've been doing the Tuesday mashup for five years, we would have been arguing about the stupid things
Starting point is 00:11:56 they were saying about interest rates and the Bank of Canada and everything else. Yeah. Christopher Freeland saying, oh, well, we did a lot of boring because interest rates are low. And the Bank of Canada director saying interest rates are going to stay low and Justin Trudeau saying we took on this debt so Canadians didn't have to
Starting point is 00:12:14 who the fuck do you think actually answers for all the taxpayer dollars well and I mean so now you go if you aren't paying attention you know like you go oh yeah just keep my payments the same but you know they're they're talking about in the one article eventually you hit the the trigger breaking point yeah like you hit where all you're paying off is interest and they're like well we can't do that anymore. You have to literally, and I'd be curious, you know, as I've read some of these articles, I'm like, man, somewhere out there, there's somebody who really knows the housing market extremely well. You might even know on Tuesday. And I read it, I'm like, I should really be having somebody on to talk about, you know, all this, the trigger points or the trigger effect or the trigger
Starting point is 00:12:53 mark when all people are paying off is interest. Mortgage people, I mean, a realtor might be all right. Maybe Taylor might be interested in coming on or something like that. But, uh, yeah there's there's lots of people who know about this stuff yeah but i just don't think the general population you pay attention to it oh oh i got you if you log if you if you if you if you if you if you if you if you um because i remember having this discussion a few years ago like somebody who signs a five year fixed mortgage i'm not going to think about it for five years and then others are love the variable because for you know what was it it was like 20 years it just kept coming down and down and down and you know to play the variable game you were you were great now
Starting point is 00:13:35 Yeah, it's like once in a century that the fixed outperforms the variable. Well, it isn't once in a century because, I mean, you still had the 80s. Oh, the Donair costume still up for grabs. Sorry, I'm reading the comments here. Okay, so the Donair costume actually probably just closed. Remember we were talking about it? What the hell is two doing? Anyways.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Okay. All right. You keep talking. Yes, Taylor will come on. I'll volunteer him. That's Jess King. And then Zane said the Donair costume. is still up for grabs.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Oh, boy. Zane, are you buying the Donair costume for the mashup? It was up to $16,000. Sold. $16,025. We got to talk about it next week because we don't have the pictures all queued up. But we got some cool submissions
Starting point is 00:14:29 and we got some interesting AI stuff. I tried to get a sexy comic book don't air. There it is. 16 grand. I don't know, like we should have that guy in the mashup or girl, whoever bought it. Hey, you want to come on the matchup? Prime Time Donair. Anyways.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Well, let's see where primetime don't air is. And St. Seth had sold before I had the chance to buy it. Oh, boy. 116.52 Sarsi Trail Northwest. Right by Popeye's Louisiana Chicken. Okay. Alberta Premier dukes it out with Federal Minister of Fucking freezing to death. Daniel Smith
Starting point is 00:15:16 On Thursday, Gilboe introduced details of the liberal government draft regulations for how it plans to achieve its goal of net zero electricity by 2035 and will begin a consultation on those plans later this month for 75 days with the final version expected to be published in January of 2025. That date seemed anyways. I was like 2025. Are they sure they don't mean 2024? Either way.
Starting point is 00:15:42 That was at a one. and then two sent like eight articles on this there was a lot going on here with the announcement of the draft clean electricity regulations on Thursday environment minister Stephen Goeboe has laid a trap the feet of the federal conservatives the regulations are designed to push can toward a net zero electricity grid with a stick instead of a carrot in 2035 they would ban carbon dioxide emissions over a certain level in electricity generation with some flexibility permitted with you know, carbon capture, storage, and could be used to mitigate net emissions, and the new standards
Starting point is 00:16:17 would be phased in for older plants. Rules would apply to any plant running on fossil fuels with 25 megawatts of generation capacity or more, capturing more most plants for context. Transelta smallest Canadian fossil fuel plant has 70 megawatts of capacity, with most being over 200. And then another one talked to article to talk, the stakes for not pivoting are high because the penalties would be high. Gilbeau's draft regulations would be enforced, according to the standards set out of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. For corporations, fines would range from 25 grand to 12 million,
Starting point is 00:16:50 depending on the size of the company and the severity of the offense. Individuals associated with offending corporations could be fined up to 2 million and can face up to three years in jail, again depending on the offense and their role in it. And as far as who will bear the brunt of the changes, none of it would feel the impact the most. The entirety of its electricity generation comes from burning fuel. which is funny because just real quick, about two and a half years ago, they tried installing a whole shit ton of solar panels.
Starting point is 00:17:18 It was like one of my early podcast episodes was about how none of it is trying to install solar panels. And this seems like a stupid idea. And now two and a half years later, whatever it is, apparently it was a bust. I don't know. I don't know who could have told them that.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Maybe they listened to the podcast. was like, oh, actually, you know what? He brings up to an excellent point. Maybe, perhaps we didn't think this through as thoroughly as we should have. Oh, Alberta would also take a significant hit. 85% of the grid is electrified by hydrocarbon and combustion, followed closely by Nova Scotia and Saskatchen, 79 and 78% respectively. And then, I mean, Twitter has been an interesting place.
Starting point is 00:18:00 You got, I can read this all off if you like. You've got Stephen Gilbaal and Daniel Smith duking it out in Twitter. On social media. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they're not doing this on Facebook. They're not doing this or meta, whatever the hell. They're not doing this on Reddit or 4chan.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Is 4chan even a thing? I've never even been to 4chan. I assume 4chan is still a thing, but it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, they're going back to the foreign. This is becoming the forum. Yes, the trading blows on Twitter. So you got, you got... The trading blows is a little generous.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Yeah, fair, sure. Stephen Gobol is saying I agree with Premier Smith an oil and gas canada. Oh, by the way, that Premier Smith that he tagged? Yeah, it was the wrong one. Yes. Lady in the Philippines, not actually dead. Yeah, anyways, that is exactly what building a clean grid is all about,
Starting point is 00:18:50 limiting unbated fossil fuel by 23rd, not forbidding them, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then you got Premier Smith, your regulations, ban natural gas, paker plants by 2035,5, unless they run on 450 hours per year, only run 450 hours per year. That's 18 days and can only have minimal emission. Who on Earth is going to invest hundreds of millions of dollars? and inefficient natural gas facilities that run for a small number of days annually.
Starting point is 00:19:12 And then, you know, and on and on it goes, right? And why limit it to 4050 hours a year? Why not just have a smaller capacity plant that can run all the time? It's just, again, stupid rules, poorly executed, that are, or maybe it's all on purpose. And then, and then here's a graph, here's Daniel Smith again.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Here's a graph of several critical points last winter where we barely had enough power to keep our homes and businesses running. note the near zero wind and solar natural gas kept us all warm and alive that day are you understanding alberta situation so here you go you can see uh if you look solar is the the purple uh orange is wind and then gray is total generation you can kind of get it and the red line is temperature it was freaking cold is basically what what was going on back then right so and so this is this is what they don't get is it's always it's always it's always
Starting point is 00:20:07 We're going to do this and you're going to do it. And people say it doesn't work. And they say we don't give a fuck. Yeah. Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I wish I could do a somewhere somebody must do a Lord Farquod. Or Lord Varquard. I was going to say an impersonation of Gilbo.
Starting point is 00:20:31 You know, I don't know. I've got my hands handcuffed behind my back. That's my impersonation of Gilbo. All. RCMP handles swath of crime. So you got, we'll add it in here, we got, okay, let's start here folks, you got, the police pulled over, says at 6 p.m. on July 24th, the 35 year old was stopped for using a cell phone while driving this sprayer.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Find $672 plus three-day license suspension, plus 113 for failing to produce license to a peace officer when required. Traffic Tuesdays. Hashtag traffic Tuesday. Tuesday, geez, can't spit it out. Hashtag RCMPMB, hashtag no excuses. And it's followed up by this one, by Drew Cardi saying, forgot my wallet.
Starting point is 00:21:27 With a cry phase. Yeah, so, yeah, people were making fun of this all over the place. And I'm not really sure why. I mean, it's very important for RCMP to keep us as safe as possible from all of the dangerous criminals, whether there's something like repeat sex offenders or people driving fucking sprayers. Like this is,
Starting point is 00:21:52 whenever I make jokes about how all they really care about is traffic, oh, well, you know, the RCMP isn't going to give a shit unless the bad guy is speeding. This is the kind of stuff that I'm talking about. And the fact that they still have this tweet up, they didn't even have the, like,
Starting point is 00:22:07 just the good sense to just say, hey, you know what? whoever posted this we got to have a talk with them we need to sit them down and explain to them why would you take a picture of it why would you why would you post it and well
Starting point is 00:22:21 I mean so this is a fail on multiple accounts or on multiple levels right because not only do you have the cop who did this and he sent it into the social media team who also thought it was a good idea and there's no better way to just alienate
Starting point is 00:22:37 every fucking person then because the cities don't have RCMPs like Calgary Calgary Saskatoon To take a moron to take the picture Cities RCN somebody in social media to go That's a great picture. I should post this story And then it took the entire team to remove it
Starting point is 00:22:55 Because they're laughing at you right now laughing The RCMP in this day and age Only handles rural stuff Which is extra funny because whenever You know people in the city are like Oh we need to keep the RCMP You're like motherfucker you don't have the RCMP, right? And so this is, this is, these are the people that they're supposed to be helping out.
Starting point is 00:23:15 The hardworking tax paying regular good old boy people who, yeah, just let the RCMP die already. EV carbon footprint doesn't account for tow trucks. They don't really ever seem to take that into account when they're doing the calculations. The owner of a two, 2020, Ford F 150 lightning lariat, with an extended range battery, regrets buying the electric truck after attempting a road trip only to abandon it and finish the drive with a gas-powered rental vehicle. Delbert Bala of La Salle, Manitoba,
Starting point is 00:23:51 left the truck in Minnesota last month after he said he tried unsuccessfully to charge the battery at two different charging stations. It was really a nightmare and frustrating for us, Bala said. He bought the truck, which is advertised as having a range of 515 kilometers for $150,000 in January. He spent an additional $16,000,000. installing charging at his, charges at his home and trucking business and upgrading his
Starting point is 00:24:13 residential electric panel. And then along the road trip down to Wisconsin Dells and Chicago, it wouldn't charge. And so they ended up having to rent a gas powered vehicle. Funny how that works out. Oh, and he had to tow it also. And he had to tow it. Yeah. Yes. Actually, funny Wisconsin story, you might appreciate this given all the time you spent there. but I was trying to think of it the other day, well, probably a couple weeks ago. And so I was saying to Mrs. Tews, I'm like, it's that state.
Starting point is 00:24:43 What are you talking about? I'm like, it's the, it's basically Canada with cheese. She's like, oh, Wisconsin. Canada with cheese? Tell me I'm wrong. Every time you see memes about the Midwest, they're basically talking about Western Canada.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I think it's Saskatchewan with cheese cards. To me, living in Wisconsin, it reminded me, same values same they they all love the same thing you know and uh except they got great cheese carts man did they get some and and they got the green bay packers i mean i mean i literally wore a cheesehead to one of the green bay packer games so i mean like yeah everybody does when they go there it's great state uh actually the the guy whose son is in the the ball uh the world series yeah he's part owner of the green bay packers as are millions of people as our millions of
Starting point is 00:25:38 people. As are millions of people. Yes. The first time ever went, yeah, was with somebody who in part. Anyways, it doesn't matter. Yeah. Community around own team. It's a cool story. Like Green Bay is a cool story. Cool tailgating there too. Zane said Ford is even offering 10K off the already overpriced paperweight. Yeah, well, have that. I mean, you could hold down a lot of paper with that. If you were, if you didn't live here, Tews, what state or place would you drive an EV if you had? Urban? urban so if you live in emming depending on i'd have already been stabbed by this point in the conversation because you're riding the subway or because i'm in emminton like it's basically
Starting point is 00:26:23 like the shoo when i'm going to handshake like oh hey welcome to edmonton here's your stab wound uh we yeah we just ever so now we're like if we've been hated by quebec for so long and we're hated by Emmington. I mean, at this point, well, I shouldn't say that. There's good people there, but Toos is not probably a fan of, people of Eminton are probably not a fan of twos. Well, I mean, so you've got all these different sports teams everywhere. Just, you stop the clock for a second. We're going to go on a tangent, right? So you name your sports team after something local, relevant. We've been on a tangent for 20, 20 minutes here. So the Colorado Avalage, because they're in Denver at the time.
Starting point is 00:27:07 top of the mountains, the mile high city, right? And what's big, interesting and intimidating in mountains is avalanches, right? And so, and then you've got Ottawa senators because they're all a bunch of losers. And then you've got, say, the Ottawa red blacks because all of the government ink is in red and black is the color of our prime minister. And then you've got the Edmonton Oilers, which totally makes sense because everybody there is fucking greasy. Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, folks, eh? Okay. Can we get to something that's going to make me laugh?
Starting point is 00:27:53 Ouch. Fuck you. That was gold. Every once in a while I'm going to have a zinger. Budweiser offers safe and empty spaces. This is safe and empty space. And this is, this is great, folks. So here, let's pull this up.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Here is here. The White tent, we're hoping business picks up a little bit. Did it give them all COVID or something? Like they're really taking that whole social distancing thing. Very seriously at Budweiser. I love how dude's being nice about it, but he's totally not. We covered this early on in the week, guys. Take a look.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Sturgis is absolutely jam packed. The Harley tent is packed. The BMW tennis pass, but Budweiser having a tough go. Having a tough go. There must be a lawyer. Budweiser having a tough go. They're into a single soul, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Not a single soul, you know? Like, can we just... There's no coming back for that. Epically bad marketing. Like, epically. You're at Sturgis. Yeah. Like 800,000 bikers come back.
Starting point is 00:29:31 jamming into this place and they'll go sit and have a bar pretty much anywhere or have a beer pretty much anywhere except bud wiser this is even worse marketing than when sean did the ad reads whew you know zinger for zinger i'll take it i'm just saying i didn't uh put dillumulvaney on a beer can all right of our uh of renew okay i didn't put it on the packaging we could pump her down a well just stuff right in there and then our and then our and then our vans it's vehicles would run on rainbows and unicorn farts. Oh, man. Actual headline.
Starting point is 00:30:14 The far right's fixation on pedophilia is dangerous. If you're a fucking pedophile. Yeah. A new movie, Sound of Freedom, is currently the talk of the far right. Jim Caviesel stars as Tim Ballard, a former government agent who rescues children from sex traffickers, as the critic Sam Adams wrote perceptively for the online magazine's slate. It arrived in theaters surrounded by a cloud.
Starting point is 00:30:36 of innuendo put forth by its star and its noisiest right-wing supporters. Conspiratorial insinuations about who doesn't want the story to be told and what real-world traffickers are really up to. These statements have enormous influence on the gullible, bizarre ideas about super wealthy and secret cabals imposing godless liberalism, fears of children being sexualized or stolen, a terror of change. All this has been empowered by the increasingly media savvy, secular, and fundamentalist Christian right. Scratch the surface of modern conspiracy theory and anti-Semitism often appears, but today the accused are usually singled out not by race but ideology, and that includes
Starting point is 00:31:17 politicians and public figures considered to be left of center or even people who support vaccination, abortion rights, LGBTQ, equality, or climate justice policies. This might sound fanciful, but the evidence is sadly abundant. And then Global from Eminton on August 9th, wrote, over the course of seven days, three convicted violent sexual offenders were released back in Emmington. Eminton Police issued a warning for 38-year-old Alexander Pasachinovakov on August 2nd, one for 49-year-old Michael Cardinal, and one on August 7th for 53-year-old Dwayne Kakatouet on August 8th. Their victims range from children to seniors, and at least one, Kakatouet, is known to the Internet child exploitation
Starting point is 00:32:07 unit. Police have reason to believe all will commit another violent offense. Their sentences were all different and they just happened and released in a very short period of time, which is unfortunate because that brings some fear into the community. Dan Jones, a criminologist at Norquest College, said. You're missing...
Starting point is 00:32:24 It gets worse. So he's talking about how there's this public backlash. Because you sent sex criminals out into the general public fully expecting them to further commit more sex crimes. And for some reason, people are upset about that. And in response, they have to be compassionate and kind with those individuals.
Starting point is 00:32:50 And I know that's another thing. People have a hard time rectifying because they're violent sex offenders. But they're also people. And we need to work with them to help society be safe from them. You know what would make society safe from them, Sean? Putting them in jail. Keeping them in jail. There's also other solutions, too.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Train station? Train station. Well, wait, we're going to go back to that. We're going to finish this and then we'll go to Zane's comment. I just read it and I'm like, no, no, we're going to wait. We're going to go back to Budweiser in a second. I, yeah, this sound of freedom, so it isn't conspiracy to see that CNN and a bunch of others were running stories that you shouldn't watch.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Sound of Freedom. No, it isn't. That was literally there. I watched it. But that's the definition of a conspiracy theory. They literally they literally tied it to Q and on and all this you know and whatever. It's just it's wild. It's still in theaters and Lloyd by the way. You know like that's good well it's been doing. It came out two months ago. I don't know. Oh no way July 7th. It came out five weeks ago. Five weeks ago. Yeah. And it was only supposed to be in for like four or five days. And it's still in. Like it shows you that, you know, all this campaign about adrenachrome.
Starting point is 00:34:18 I don't, how many people do you think that read those articles and were like Adrenachrome? What the hell is that? And sent them on a dark path. You should get somebody who knows whatever it is to know about adrenachrome. I'd be interested like, you know, even if it's all just crazy nonsense. Crazy nonsense bullshit. But I'd be interested in hearing it.
Starting point is 00:34:40 fall away rabbit from some kind of an expert all right folks you all are a wonderful group of people who knows a lot about adrenicrobe that i could bring on podcast aside from Hillary Clinton aside from Hillary Clinton yes yes at the end of the day when did you like I remember this is like two years ago I heard adrenicrome and I'm like that can't be real like that cannot be real Okay. Now in news articles, they're printing the word adrenachrome and they're trying to make it like a far right crazy idea. I'm like, I don't know what that makes me think it's probably real. And how much of the population had no idea what it was? 70%? I don't really know. I don't really know. 80%.
Starting point is 00:35:30 You're saying 90%. I would say higher. Like they never even heard of the word. It's like what? But I mean, every time they say something is a far-right conspiracy theory, away we go. Oh, Klaus Schwab wants to perform a great reset. It's a far-right conspiracy theory. Buy his book on Amazon, right?
Starting point is 00:35:53 I mean, you look at actually, you know what, here's an interesting thing. It's not on here, but there's lots of people talking about how all the major news outlets were talking about how Pierre Paliav is saying that the conservative party won't be going to Davos. they won't be doing any sort of WEF stuff and how he's linking himself with all this conspiracy theory, mainstream conspiracy theory, by the way, which kind of contradicts itself, all this mainstream conspiracy theory talk. And all these articles came out at the same time.
Starting point is 00:36:27 And they're saying it's a concerted effort. Here's the thing. Yes, but no. So it was all the same article released on CTV, CBC, because it was a Canadian press article that just went out to all of them. So was it a whole bunch of people writing these articles? No, it was just one. One.
Starting point is 00:36:45 But it does point out, why do we pay four different government subsidies to four different news outlets to print the exact same fucking article when it already shows up on the Canadian press at no additional cost? Tews, why are we paying? Why are we paying out? At all. Yes. But why are we paying so extra stupidly?
Starting point is 00:37:08 Why are we paying? That's my thought. I don't understand why we're paying. Here's what Zane had to say going back to Budweiser. Sad that the folds of honor attached to Budweiser, it is a solid, honorable veteran family support charity. I don't know the finer points of it. I'm guessing it was blocked in long before this whole Dillamovace.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Well, I mean, I assume it's been with, and maybe Zane knows more about it, but I assume it's been with Budweiser for some time because I feel like I've seen it before. And Budweiser wasn't just, you know, like they've had a longstanding relationship with the veterans and military community and a whole bunch of other communities, right? But one, like, read the room. Just read the room. You don't read the room and like this is what happens.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Yeah. Yeah, it's the ad reads all over again. UPS trucks get more chicks than a convertible. UPS said the average full-time driver would earn about 170K2. Can you believe that? $170k. That's U.S. Including health care and other benefits by the end of the five-year contract. That is up from about $145,000, which is of today.
Starting point is 00:38:20 UPS has the biggest unionized workforce of any company in the U.S. and is known for its relatively strong compensation offering. Prior to the new deal, the company said drivers earned about $95K in a pay annual on average, or about $42 an hour and another $50,000 in benefits. So they're like They're raking it in But also everybody's leaving Canada behind Have you thought about that
Starting point is 00:38:50 Anytime you Like you look at anything Talking about the G7 Which how long before we get kicked out of it By the way And some other country just takes our spot But wages keep going up everywhere but Canada The only thing that goes up
Starting point is 00:39:08 Is Food prices Gas prices gas prices, heating prices, Justin Trudeau's disapproval rate. I don't know. Can you believe that a UPS driver is going to be making... Can you believe a UPS driver is going to be making $170K a year?
Starting point is 00:39:32 You ever see that episode of South Park where Stan's dad dresses up sexy as a UPS man for his wife, for Stan's mom? This isn't going to surprise listeners at this point, I don't think. Tews watches South Park. Sean does not. so no I have not there have been quite a few references to South Park in the mashup
Starting point is 00:39:54 not all of which were overt well what's what's your favorite cartoons it's gonna be South Park and what's the other one there's another one Rick and Morty Rick and Morty yeah
Starting point is 00:40:05 yeah which is probably canceled now because the old Justin Royland kidnapping thing I don't know it's probably going to be a hard thing to come back from I don't know we'll see
Starting point is 00:40:18 Here's what Zane had to say. He said, there was an awesome 7777 skydives, 7777 skydives, 7 continents, 7 days. They kicked off in January to raise awareness to folds of honor, many retired Navy SEALs and other special forces crew. So there you go. That's why. I can appreciate the repeating numbers. That's why, anyways. I tell you what, it doesn't look like they're coming back from what they did with Budlight.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Fair enough. Like, anyways. Legacy media. Lying? Stupid. Or lazy? Answer? Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Justin Trudeau and his family are vacationing in British Columbia for just over a week. The Prime Minister's office says the PMO is not specifying where they will be staying, but says they're set to return Ottawa on August 18th. Trudeau and his wife of 18 years, Sophie Gregor Trudeau, announced last week that they are separating, but they still plan to spend time together as a family. and then down way at the end. Isn't it funny how when the free vacations come into place, she's still down? I liked at the very bottom.
Starting point is 00:41:26 It said, correction. A previous version erroneously reported the prime minister's office said the trip was cleared with the ethics commissioner. And then I'm going to pull. That's because of Twitter. Twitter, fact check the shit out of this. So here's Jennifer L. A friend of the show.
Starting point is 00:41:42 The prime minister's office says it consulted with the ethics commissioner about the trip. And that Truders are paying for the shit. their own stay. So they highlighted that. And then you go over here. Appointments. One vacant position. Conflict of interest in ethics commissioner. There's a one, two. The actually, there was another tweet about this exact thing from the guy who stepped down as conflict of interest ethics commissioner. Who's like the guy who quit the job. It's like, um, you guys know that nobody's there, right? So this is our legacy media. Did the PMO say?
Starting point is 00:42:20 And they're like, oh, okay, well, that sounds good. We're just going to report on it. And we're not going to check into it. And none of us are up to date with this stuff, nearly as much as random people on Twitter are. So are they too dumb to check? Are they too lazy to check? It just shows them a rat, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:42:37 Or are they overtly lying and hoping they don't get caught? They're just, nobody's, you know, everybody's asleep at the wheel. And all it reminds me up is that I'm going to be in Colonna this week, which means I'm going to be to Armstrong, which means I've got to play this. We like to say people kind, not necessarily mankind. It's more inclusive. There we go.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Exactly. Dan, thank you. And the budget will balance itself. Man, you are one pathetic loser. Can you not talk over? Can you not talk over the audio? You know, when twos really says that, he gets muted, folks. If we're just going to mute him for a bit here and just, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:43:21 leave it alone, Tews. I'll let you talk over the song every bloody episode or damn near it. You know, I'm going to talk over, anyways, it doesn't matter. I get to see, go to the Canis and her farm out there, and hopefully meet the two girls that help put that clip together and everything else. Anyways. That would be wonderful. Out in Armstrong, BC, get your ice cream if you're ever around there.
Starting point is 00:43:43 the other thing I wanted to point out with this whole legacy media thing is that when you get subsidies, you're no longer required to do well or be good at your job or anything like that. You just get the money no matter what. And so it incentivizes sucking. Yeah, you're just, you're on life support too. Yeah. Just literally, you're just like, well, I got to. I can fuck this all up, but I still get paid.
Starting point is 00:44:07 You know, they're going to keep me alive. And that's what's happening. It's like communism in Poland. they had this saying, they said, whether you're standing up or lying down, it's still a thousand's
Starting point is 00:44:17 sloth a month, right? And this is what our legacy media is doing. They're lying down because it's still a thousand's lot to a month. SAS party loses two of three to unsirious party.
Starting point is 00:44:30 The result for the province's three by-elections are coming in and it was a big night for the SAS NDP. Geez, we haven't said big night and NDP in a long time. As they were able to steal for two seats from the Saskatchewan Party
Starting point is 00:44:41 and the provincial government. Jared Clark and Regina Walsh Acres has won the seat formerly held by Derek Myers before he passed away due to cancer in March. Clark ended the night with 54% of the vote. The NDP also took home the Regina Coronation Park seat with a win from Norberki. The seat was formerly held by Mark Doherty.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Berkey finished the evening with 56.6% of the vote and with the two wins, the official opposite seat grows to 14. I had John Romick on last week or maybe two weeks ago now. Probably a couple of weeks ago. He was Sask United anyways. Despite challenge from the SAS NDPs, Caitlin Stadnik, and the Saskatchewan United's parties, John Romick,
Starting point is 00:45:19 the SACC party maintained its hold on Lumsden-Morse. And then the Moose Jaw Today article said, anyone outside of the SAS Party running in the Lumsden Morris riding during the 2023-Suscatchewed during the 2023-Suscatchewan by-election knew they were going to be in for a tough challenge. The riding has long been a stronghold for the province's current ruling party with a former MLA's Lyle Stewart, having held the seat from 1999 and winning in the 2020 election with 70% of the vote.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Yes, they lost almost a third of their support, by the way. Yes. In the end, little changed overall. As the SAS Party nominee Blaine McLeod easily retained the seat with 2,648 votes, taking 53.7% of the 4,933 votes cast. John Romick of the Saskatchewan United Party finished second with 1121 or 22.7% of overall. And then he was quoted as saying our volunteers and everyone came out of the woodwork and banded together really well. So being over 20% we're thinking that's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:46:17 We blew expectations out of the water. And I'm happy with it. I'm happy that they're pushing forward and we're resonating with people. We only had weeks to get our message out there. So give us a full year and we'll see where we'll be. So what's your thoughts, two's first NDP taking two of the three by-elections? well the Saskatchewan party has kind of lost their way in that they're not really trying to improve anything anymore they're just sort of keeping it between the lines you know we don't need to push anything one way or the other we'll placate the unions we'll just kind of we'll just be blah and as long as we don't fuck things up too much we'll still have a majority in the next election which is next year right which is a damn shame because you actually want politicians to improve things. Not that they can make things better, but just that they can
Starting point is 00:47:14 make things less worse, right? So, I mean, there's always stupid shit on the books. Get rid of it. Tighten things up. Have honest conversations about what's actually affordable for the taxpayers. And don't go on stupid $8,000 fucking flights from Regina to North Battleford. Things like that, right? how many votes do you think that cost them right because they just they've been in power for a long time and they're they're losing the you got to keep the eye of the tiger right this is like rocky three yeah but it's tough they've been they're losing the eye of the tiger yeah yeah but i mean now you've got the sask united party coming up and they want things like accountability they want positive reform they it's it's they don't want sexual materials that are absolutely
Starting point is 00:48:04 absurd that we've talked about on this podcast in the classroom. But have you ever noticed that, you know, Maverick party is a great similar example, right? Where these upstart parties, if you will, they all want more or less the same thing. Wild Rose, when you had Danny Hosack on, right? They want to be answerable to their constituents, not the party. They don't want to worry about towing the party line and abandoning the people who actually voted for them and paid for them to be there.
Starting point is 00:48:37 They want to answer to the people locally. They want accountability so that if they're not doing it, they can get removed. They want to be a voice for their people. And then you've got just the establishment party who just says, well, you know what? I mean, we're not going to win as easily if we do stuff like that. So let's just keep doing things the same way, which fucking sucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:06 I mean, once again, if I'd followed 50 elections, I'd have a better gauge on where I'm at. You know, I remember, I remember, and Ken can tell us, you know, and maybe you remember the Maverick. We'll speak to the Maverick in the federal election. I want to say he was the highest earning candidate they had, and it was right around six or seven percent of the vote in his right. 11. I think it was less than that. 11 and change. It was 11 in change?
Starting point is 00:49:35 Yeah. I think 11.2, but don't quote me on the decimal. Okay, well, all right, regardless. You get the point. And I want to say he felt disappointed with that number. And I sit here and I go, I have no idea, right? It's the kind of guy who, if there was seven other people who voted for other people, he would have felt disappointed.
Starting point is 00:49:54 But you understand, it's like, okay. Don't get me wrong. I'm not giving him shit. I like, I'm just saying it's an upstart party and you're like, okay, how's it going to do? You know, you have these big grand, they talk a big game, And then they get like no votes, right? And you're like, oh, okay, like they're ways away, right? So then you have, you have Sask United who comes in and they push as hard as they can.
Starting point is 00:50:15 And they go as hard as they can. And, but they're giving a short window. Nobody knows who the heck they are. So they literally got to get out and door knock and everything else. Mainstream media ain't giving them time of day. And on and on it goes. And they get 22, what was it? What did they say?
Starting point is 00:50:29 20, just over 20%. What was the exact number? 21.7 maybe. 22.7% of the overall vote. And I go, that seems like, you know, like you give that another year to keep pushing. Like, I feel like maybe you're, you're right there.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Maybe? Am I wrong on that? It depends on how they push. I think that they, and this is the same criticism I had of the Maverick party, was that they lacked specificity, right? So if you say you're going to go in and make the classrooms more transparent in terms of what they're doing, okay?
Starting point is 00:51:02 How specifically would you do that? Like, would you say that any material given to the children needs to be also emailed out to the parents a week beforehand, right? And anybody who tries to sneak anything in at the last minute gets fined some outrageously high amount. And they're going to be filmed during the sex ed classes. So if there's any chicanery, the parents can review it at their leisure and call it out if need be. right that that's the kind of thing that um you know maybe just just a spit falling right for yeah but for you you're rather than saying we're going to change things we're going to make things better right everybody says that the ndp probably even says that right but if you go into because you're trying to make
Starting point is 00:51:51 waves you're not getting any coverage from any sort of media force the issue go in and specifically say this is what we're going to do to fix this problem right could I could I offer up one other thing too and maybe I'm wrong on this and you can know I'm gonna you you can you can combat me on this well no you can combat me on this because but you know a Daniel Smith would help them and I'm not knocking a Nadine Wilson at all whatsoever but Daniel Smith had the the the gift of the gab like she just went around and like wowed everybody and and everybody you know and talked to every issue and had different ideas and whatever else.
Starting point is 00:52:33 And I'm not saying that they can't have that, but I feel like maybe I'm wrong on this. But if they had a leader that was that like recognizable and just went around to the entire, you know, all of Saskatchewan, people would vote for that because they're like, I want to vote for that person. And if as long as you, am I wrong on that? You're absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I mean, a lot of it is just a popularity contest and name brand recognition. If they could get Brad Wall on board, I'm sure they went into landslide. Well, you might be, yeah, you probably are right in Saskatchewan. I don't know who else out there in Saskatchewan they could approach that would have that much, like, name recognition and pull. Pretty much nobody. Name brand recognition. Who's that old conservative leader? Grant Devine has the name brand recognition, but not in a good way.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Okay. Rich men, well, okay, let's wait a second. We'll go here first. Jamie Ingram, upstart parties don't win, PPC, Maverick, Sask United, etc. She's right. I think, except for the Reform Party. It's funny how the Reform Party got left out of that list. Well, and I always go back to Alberta, 1935, William Aberhart, something socialist party, farmer.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Dang, and I forget it. But they won as an upstart party. got a majority government too. So it can be done. It's not like it has never been done before because I used to say, tell me a time when an upstar party walked in and won. It has been done.
Starting point is 00:54:13 I just, you know, I don't know. You think about it too's if any party had just had, you know, they almost had it. Like think of the PPC with Maxine Bernier. Love or hate the guy. Not right now, but go back to the last election. When he was traveling around,
Starting point is 00:54:32 getting arrested, and everything else and he was outspoken. You know, he should have been on the national debate floor against everybody else. They held him out. And now it now it doesn't even matter anymore. Because at that point in time, you might have had an interesting. He met the criteria. Yes, he did.
Starting point is 00:54:49 He met the criteria to be on that debate, but they still. And people across the country would have voted for the PPC to vote for Bernier. Which would have split the right vote and worked for the legacy media and their overlords. And so I never understood why they didn't let him on. You'd think they'd be all four giving him more air time. It's too much. Jamie says it's too much of a popularity contest. I believe twos would agree with you.
Starting point is 00:55:14 And then Zane said, for the Manitoba election coverage, see if Viva can join the party. Great chat with him today. Yeah, that was. It was a really good chat. Well, I mean, he's pretty easy to chat with, you know? Like, uh, anyways. Let's get on to Richmond.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Here's your happy news. Richman north of Richmond hits you right in the fields. If you haven't, um, stumbled across this I don't know what Brock you're living under because this has been this has been something to watch you know like I went from not knowing who
Starting point is 00:55:42 this man was Oliver Anthony to like I'm seeing everybody pushing this Joe Rogan's pushing this pretty much like half the guests have had on this bloody podcast are pushing this anyways here's the start of the song
Starting point is 00:55:57 Oh just the audio Just play the audio You just want the audio? Yeah. All right. All right. Yeah. Just, just the audio.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Perfect. Because the guy's a fucking ginger. Pretty good. Pretty good. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's amazing. Like, there's 15 seconds, Sean. I know.
Starting point is 00:56:52 I'm, you know, I fuck him. Not that guy. Not him. You know, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, anyways. Well, I mean, some, some heart and soul definitely. You know what's funny? You know what's funny about the ginger thing? I've watched a couple. I've had a bunch of things sent to me, right? Because everyone's like, get him on, get him on, get him on.
Starting point is 00:57:07 I can just imagine how many thousands of podcasters and people are trying to get him on. But you know what? I've watched his videos. He says he's going to try and get to everyone, and he really wants to take it slow. And anyway, so I've been sent a bunch of videos on his backstory. I'm one of them. He's like, you know, something about his soul. And he's like, you know, and I'm a ginger if I even got one. And I was like, oh, man, he's got a little dry sense of humor in there too. Who, like, I mean, pretty, uh, pretty wild little story to go from unknown to like, I don't know. Thanks for killing my fucking joke, by the way, but keep going.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Oh, what joke was that? Oh, I was going to say, you know, some, some heart and soul definitely went into that song, but not his. Well, I'm sorry, he beat you to it. So, uh, well, no, I was, I was about to say that. And then you're like, I saw the, da, da, duh. I'm sorry, twos. I can't, I can't mind read, you know. Hi, boy.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Oh my God, just let me finish my thought. This is, it's the ad reads all over again. So anyway, this, this run, Weasley of Green Gables, motherfucker can really belt it out. You know, one day I hope that me and two sit in a studio together where I can talk over him anytime I want. Instead of I just having to mute his mic, and if I need to jump across the table and beat the crap out of him, because, you know, like, I just feel like we eventually get to a point where we're sitting across the table. It'll be episode like 142. and all of a sudden you'll just tear it, that's it.
Starting point is 00:58:31 I've had enough, and the mic will go off, and I'll just do it. Serenity now. Serenity now. Oh, man. Sandy, Holgren says he's a poet. He's got a heck of a voice.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Like, I mean... He lives off the grid, which makes sense, because whatever grid he was on, they probably kicked him up for being a ginger. Finally, before we get to community events, what is award-winning podcast? Oh, okay, so that's all it was in the notes. And we eventually got to the point where the document was so damn big we had to start a new one this week.
Starting point is 00:59:06 So that's how much love we put into this show, by the way. So just so people realize, it would take, you know, mashup 68 today. So 67 mashups are on a document with every article we've ever had on this show. Okay. So for people that are like, where did you find that? You know, like me and twos have actually had to go back through and like find a couple for certain people that are like, I don't believe you or where's that number coming? Anyways, it would take me like 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:59:32 We've got receipts. It would take me like 20 minutes of uploading and scrolling this bloody. So we just started a new one. I actually didn't know what to do with myself. I clicked on it. I'm like, well, where's the document? Oh, yeah, right, 68. That's where we're starting.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Ooh, baby. All right. Anyways, yeah, I tell you what. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that. Yeah, it just, it loads very quickly. So if I'm doing anything on my phone with it, it just pops right up. It's great.
Starting point is 00:59:55 But one of the things was just award-winning. podcast. And it occurred to me that I've seen a whole lot of journalists out there who just have bullshit random awards and oh, this person won this word and this person won that award. And none of them mean a goddamn thing because there's no prestige to it. There's no answerability. It's just, oh, oh, we had some blah, blah, blah, blah foundation and we decided to give this person an award. And now they get to say on their Twitter bio that they're award winning this. or that. And so I just thought we should have awards. You want to have awards on here? Yeah. Yeah. So I'm, I'm going to do a trophy. Can it be a Roos?
Starting point is 01:00:44 Or next week's episode. And you're going to do a trophy for next week's episode. And then, you know, my trophy is going to be. What do you mean a trophy? What do you mean a trophy? Like an actual, just sit up on the mantle, you know, right next. all my provincial chess medals and whatnot. And so there's going to be a trophy for whatever. I don't know what yours is going to say. And I'm going to award you with a trophy for, I don't know, second best ad read or something like that.
Starting point is 01:01:16 And then no one's ever going to be able to take away from the fact that we are award winning. What I want to know then from the audience, okay? I want you to do this. I want you to text me what Tews award should be. All right. I want you to text me. And I want to hear what Sean's award should be as well. Yeah, but you can't text me. I don't want to say second best.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Okay, hit me up in the Twitter DMs. No, you got to talk to twos. I want to know what, text me what two's award should be. I want, I'm going to give it out to the most creative thing that comes in. I'm like, I'm serious about this. So all you lovely Tuesday mashup listeners, all across this country, I want the best award for next week. Yeah, I like that.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Yeah, same thing with me, but in the Twitter DMs, not the showline. Can you imagine mashup 69 award-winning podcast, hey? Yeah, I didn't even think of that. But yeah, so anyway, we're just going to make some idiot trophies that are completely meaningless, and then we're going to tout it around like we're important and special. Well, we are important and special. That's what people in Canada do. In a certain couple of ways that, you know, we can't dare talk about.
Starting point is 01:02:32 But other than that, folks. All right, community news. Derek Nernberg, his son's baseball team is on his team Canada at the Little League World Series. So we got a listener whose son is going to the world. A little Canadian, dang it. Little League World Series. I can't spit it on anything out. Long time listener.
Starting point is 01:02:52 Is it Brian? He met him a couple times a person. He's an absolute beauty. B-R-Y-D-E-N. How do you say that? Briden. Briden. Briden Nernberg.
Starting point is 01:03:00 So hey, shout out to Briden in his team. He plays for North Regina Little League. They started off 0 and 3 in the round robin before winning their last three games getting the playoffs. They beat Quebec 3-2 in the semifinal. And you can just know that twos is happy. Anyways, in a walk-off win, Briden hit a bases loaded single in the bottom of the six. Games are six innings to send North Regina to the final. They beat B.C. in the final game four to three.
Starting point is 01:03:26 and I scroll down the final, saw Regina both some solid pitching, hitting and defense after a slow start to the tournament. It was one of those moments in sports where everything managed to come together at the right time. Their first game in the Little League World Series is Thursday, August 17th, against Asia Pacific Region at 5 p.m.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Eastern 3 p.m. Saskatchewan time on TSN4. So best of luck to Bryden, and thanks for reaching out, Derek. I thought that was a pretty cool story. Beating fucking Quebec. How's that for some equalization? that in just because he's like and we beat Quebec just a little salt in the wound a little uh you know it's almost like a little shot to for twos you know anyways and then uh candis utterly
Starting point is 01:04:07 ice cream cookie stand i tell you what i'm hopefully you know armstrong bc yeah looking forward to uh we got a show in salmon arm a show in vernon and a show in colonna so i they're rate in between Kelona and Salmon, or Clonan and Vernon, Colon and Salmon, one of the two, it doesn't matter. Is Vernon named after the best goalie of all time, or is that just a coincidence? Definite coincidence. Yep, I'm going to say a definite coincidence. Either way, I'm going to be traveling right beside him. I'm hoping to get in and grab myself a little ice cream, you know, a little utterly ice cream.
Starting point is 01:04:41 That's what I'm hoping. Anyways, they've been long, she's been a long time listener. She texted me literally before he came in. She's like, I haven't listened to guys forever. And I finally listen to you come to Clonan. Oh, my God. I'm hoping that's what she was doing as she was talking. typing and driving. Anyways.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Okay. Anyways. All right. What is that phase for? Yeah, because you hope that somebody's just excitedly texting and driving? Haven't you ever been driving and you're like, do, do, do, and you're listening and you're like, oh my God, they're good. I just can't wait to, anyways, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:05:12 I guess twos never does that, folks. I hope none of our listeners text and drive. Well, I hope they never do it either, but I also hope they get exciting news that they have been waiting for for 68 episodes. And they're like, I cannot believe the mashup is doing a winner tour through the bottom side of Manitoba for election coverage. And I'm just spitball on here. I don't think we're doing that. Anyways.
Starting point is 01:05:38 No, no. You know, twos could have done on itself. Can you imagine twos in Manitoba for a few extra days? Oh, boy. We have been talking about doing some kind of a winner tour. Just a real quick, I don't know, hit a few spots. Some small towns and do like a live mashers. up.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Anyways, you got some ideas, we got some ideas, put it together, see what happens. You got any more community news? Yeah, August 26th, Crossfield demolition derby. Oh, yes. So if you're in Crossfield, demolition derby. Or if you're in Calgary and you want to make the trip up or Red Deer and make the trip down. Are you going to be there, Tews? Maybe.
Starting point is 01:06:19 I don't know. I haven't even thought that far ahead yet. I might go to Crossfield if Tews ain't going to be in attendance, you know, folks? Like, come on. Because there's a demolition derby? Yeah, well, I'm not driving all the way to Crossfields for a demolition derby from where I'm sitting at unless twos is there. Anyway, just saying.
