Starting point is 00:00:14 Step aside, twos. I want to talk this week I get the rant. Today, this morning, this happens. Monday is garbage day, okay, folks? So you put everything out, you're on time, you walk out, it's great, everything's fine, you walk away, you go to the studio, you know, you come home for lunch, you think, oh, I'll pull away the garbage cans, not a big deal, and then you get there, and you're like, still got garbage it. So then you go, running down the street, you're like, did anybody? Everybody else is garbage is up. So come back to that blue little sticker
Starting point is 00:00:49 that says, you need to have your lid closed. You need to have your lid closed. Can we just agree the amount of time that took for that, to stick it on there and circle it, he could have just threw it in there.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Like, is he having a bad day or is he just messing with me, too? I don't get it. I think that's awesome. First of all, you may be having a bad day, but probably not as bad as the people who had to listen to that rant. You got to step up the... I tell you what, I can lose the rant game to you.
Starting point is 00:01:26 That's totally fine by me. All right. That's totally fine. That's totally fine. However, yeah, I... Honestly, this is hilarious. I love it. I wish that it had been me
Starting point is 00:01:38 paying your garbage guy $10 to do this. You know what would have been funny is if I would have got out of there and said compliments at 222 minutes, I would have laughed at that. I would have been like, well played, well played. I don't know how the heck you pulled that off. There's nothing worse than keeping your garbage for two weeks in the summer. Like, it just, ah, just, ah, anyways, what are you going to do? Mashup number 70, good sir, welcome to the program. How's twos this week? Tews is all right. He had two days off, which was basically, um, a quick barbecue. And
Starting point is 00:02:15 then him sleeping. Just like, yeah, a little bit of family time, a little bit of barbecue with some friends. And then I think I slept for like, I slept for like four hours in the afternoon and then got up and worked around the garage and did a bunch of stuff I needed to get done that I've been putting off. And yeah, like just, you know when you're just so spent and tired, excuse me, that you just end up. Oh, yeah. I'm just going to lie down for a quick. Yeah, and then you're out. Those are the best.
Starting point is 00:02:49 You know, it's funny. When I first started dating Mel years ago, she used to be able to sleep on command. It almost drove me nuts. I'm like, how do you do that? Three kids, I can do that almost on command. You know, it's just like, oh, there's a nice coat, out cold. So I hear you. Now.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Yep, so that's me. How about you? Oh, I mean, I don't know. I got no complaints on this side. No complaints whatsoever. It's been a good week. and the final week of Renew Production Optimization, which is seeded, if nothing else for Renew,
Starting point is 00:03:23 you have ceded a competition between me and two is coming up that I hope will go the right way. I know we'll go the right way, folks, either way. Based at Rimby, Alberta, with service to Western Canadian oil and gas industry with their blend of microbes. These microbes replace conventional chemicals with cost-effective solutions,
Starting point is 00:03:45 environmentally safe product that is adaptable to downhole environment. Essentially, the microbes food source is our customer's production issue, whether it's wax scale, asphaltines, or H2S, we control them all and provide corrosion protection in the past. They've kind of been given a bad rap
Starting point is 00:04:00 through human error, of course, human error. They have been responsible for souring some of the sweet zones and wells. They've isolated the beneficial strains while eliminating the strains that cause issues. This gives them customizable cocktail of strains that are very effective in controlling production issues. Check them out.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Renew, R-E-N-U-U dot net. Yeah, this is my weak asshole. I was going to talk about how they're active in the community, about how they buy a calf every year because they help it with 4-8. You probably don't know about 4-H. You seem like a little bit, you seem like the kind of guy who, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:39 might have grown up rural, but didn't really, you know. Do you want to go into my past? Is that what you're asking me? Yeah. No, no. I'm just saying, like, you missed. Like, there's so many great things with these guys.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And you just want to focus on. No, I just, I'm just gaslighting you so that you'll tell some of the other parts of the story. It's great. Come on, twos. What else you got? You're skating on thin ice, which is a step up from your usual skating. But, yeah, there's. they're not just a company they're they're also a part of the community
Starting point is 00:05:17 i mean geez that might that might be their slogan renew r-en-u-u-u-u-net did we ever find out why the two u's we never asked so no but but we'll we should ask we should probably because it looks like boobs from the top like if you were to bird's-eye view of boobs that's that's That's what two years would look like. That's probably what I'm sure that's what was going through their head. Yep. What if we got? Anyways, where do you want to start?
Starting point is 00:05:48 Do you want to start with Don't Air Talk? We've been, we've, we've, we've, we've, all right. Let's go with the Don't Air Talk. Don't Air talk. Okay. Okay. So don't air talk. Let me just bring this up.
Starting point is 00:06:00 You're gonna like it. Share a screen, entire screen. We've got a couple user submissions first. This is a user. submission. I like it. It's just playing straightforward. It gets right to the chase. And then we've got this one. Also a user submission. And then I thought it would be fun to try and get chat GPT to help us out with this. So I tried a few different directions. I asked for a cartoon don't air fighting a rooster. And that looks like two roosters or a rooster or a rooster
Starting point is 00:06:38 and a don't air. With three breasts. Or a donor. This is the total recall chicken right here. Like two weeks. Two weeks. I think if you go back, if you go back,
Starting point is 00:06:50 it almost looks like the rooster on the right is wearing a don't air costume. Am I wrong on that? Yeah. So you're going to see, it gets a little bit confused as to where one stops and the other one starts.
Starting point is 00:07:00 So again, like you've got Auschwitz chicken on the one side and like some angry babushka on the other. And then here they're just wearing donair costumes, I guess. And then this is, this is definitely a chicken in a don't air costume getting pointed at by a rooster that's done up kind of angelically. And then I said, like a superhero. What is that?
Starting point is 00:07:30 That's great. Yeah. So then all of a sudden you've got this dude, like, I don't know, running away in the foreground and look at his weird hand. He looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame on the right. That's what he looks like. I don't know if that's actually, I'm not sure if he's running or if he's part of the Donair. And then I said to it,
Starting point is 00:07:48 I said, okay, well, what if I wanted an old school medieval style painting version of a rooster fighting at Donair? You know, where it was like vaguely Roman letters, and it was some weird thing where some dude was like this
Starting point is 00:08:02 and getting stabbed in the neck and someone was going to make a meme about a 300 years later. So I asked for, medieval style painting, but they did like their medieval, but the style isn't medieval, which was a bit disappointing. But it gets interesting. Like this guy kind of looks like a ball player almost.
Starting point is 00:08:20 And, and then you get this where this, I think they're a little bit out of order. This is like a donair gun pointing at another chicken. And then, okay, there's, it's more of like a pickle rick than a donair. And then look at this. weird hand. He's got one wing on one side and this weird hand on the other.
Starting point is 00:08:42 And he's squishing the donair that looks more like subway. And there's this tiny little rooster in the background. This is all AI made all of this. I find it just absolutely fascinating. Here's like angels and demons are fighting in this one over some Bersheta. And then here's another one where. Yeah. You know, Walt Tuse is talking about it.
Starting point is 00:09:06 If you have no idea what we're talking about here, you need to go back a few mashups. When we're talking about this mashup, or this Donair costume on the Alberta government website selling for $16,000. And then we start joke around about the rooster, who's become the unofficial logo of the Tuesday mashup, fighting the Donair.
Starting point is 00:09:30 And this is, we've been waiting. Anyways. AI made a two-beaked rooster. pecking at a don't air and then I went because I was like I made it like I said make a 90s style comic book and then this is more of like I'd say this is more silver age
Starting point is 00:09:48 than 90s but it's definitely not 90s and then you've got this like three-legged hood person who's fighting a croissant and then more of the cartoon type stuff and then that one's I don't know that one's pretty good and then again you've got chickens dressed up
Starting point is 00:10:08 as don airs and then go back go back on what was that what is that this one this guy's got his foot literally up inside the meat twists and this thing has four arms okay not for not not
Starting point is 00:10:24 like biceps and four arms it's got four arms and then you've got this one again with the whole medieval stuff more with the medieval and then more with the I'm saying I, how do we do it twos? How do we do it too?
Starting point is 00:10:40 Look at the balls on this rooster, Sean. Look at this is, these are AI balls right here. They are huge. How do we, how do we put these all up twos? So people can vote on it. And I will get framed. I will put it in the studio. I'm literally in the-
Starting point is 00:11:02 Where's all yours? No, no, no. I have the one from Dale Wilker. What are you talking about? Put it up. Put it up. We haven't got... Let me guess.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I thought... Let me guess. Let me guess, Sean. What do you mean? Let me guess. Let me guess, he says. Oh, where am I on here? Here.
Starting point is 00:11:21 This is what Dale Wilker sent in. It's a rooster wrestling the donair from the top row. Yeah, because they can't fly. So it's got to go up for the top rope. Anyways. I'm wondering if I... Because I've been with the, with the, the, it's one thing that I didn't dawn on me until you're like ramming through all these things.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I'm like, let's put one of those suckers up in the studio. I'm literally put like, I got a bunch of things I'm redoing in here. And I'm like, I need some new art, you know, that kind of like represents where the podcast is at. That technically is art. Yeah. And, well, I mean, can you imagine walking in? I don't, I don't care. You're, who did I just have in?
Starting point is 00:12:03 Like, Leighton Gray or Steve Holmstrom. It doesn't matter, all these different characters. They walk in and they're like, oh, yeah, this is pretty cool. Oh, Jersey, why do you have a rooster fighting a donair? Let me tell you. Let me tell you why I got that sucker. And did you know why I did it? And look at the balls on them.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Anyways. This is what people come here for, you know? We're going to get to some headlines and everything else, but it's more for the rooster jokes and, you know, the costumes than anything else. Okay, well, let's, oh, here we go. go, Jess, who I just met for the first time this weekend at the barbecue. You need a collage. Too many good ones to choose.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Your mom goes to collage. I can't wait to put a rooster fighting a donor up in the studio. Like, I'm actually rather excited about this. There's been few things that I've been like, okay, here we go. Anyways. Okay. What's next? Well, I think we're going to do awards.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Or do you want to leave it until the end? Do you want to do the end? No, let's do the awards. Okay. Which is just me sitting back and you doing everything because I'm the one who did all the work on time for this. What are you talking about? Where's my trophy, Sean? I didn't get you a trophy.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I never said I was getting you a trophy. Not once did I ever say, I'd have to go back and listen to myself. We said awards. I don't think at any point I said, I'm going to send you a trophy. I actually don't think I ever said that. So, and I didn't know the rules of like, what are the rules, folks? So what I did is I. We left it fast and loose.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Right. Right, so the back story on this is, the backstory on this is me and two said, well, twos brought it to my attention. He's like, if we hand out awards to each other, we can call ourselves an award-winning podcast. I'm like, okay, fair enough. Well, what did the awards have to be? Well, we don't know anything you want. I'm like, okay, listeners, I want the best award for twos, but I never set a trophy. Not that I didn't, I searched.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, but it doesn't matter here. So, let's see if we can get this up. Yeah, isn't that what you usually say, hey? The first ever annual Tuesday Massif Awards. I don't know if it's going to happen, folks, in August every time, but anyways. Okay. Our first award goes to Mr. Tews, and we're going to pull it up here. The Bud Light of Podcasting goes to Tews for his achievement in the field of podcasting and political
Starting point is 00:14:45 commentary. Philip, the time-traveling, high goat from Dauglong, signed off on it. And the dairy cartel. I mean, the dairy cartel. If you're going to get anything done in this world. Same stuff. The CRTC,
Starting point is 00:15:01 we all know they control it. So to first award, my award to twos today is the Bud Light of podcasting, signed off by the rooster himself. That's pretty good. other awards did I win? None.
Starting point is 00:15:19 That's what you got this week. All right. Am I supposed to, now Tuesday's is like all high in his glory because I have this box over here. Fair enough. Fair enough. I just, no, I got to find the dairy cartel because he texted me. He didn't DM me. But he had sent basically the exact same idea. And then, yeah, he said the bud light of podcasting. DCU, you are listening right now while you. you're milking cows you've
Starting point is 00:15:52 we made it the 69 nice award face for radio these are all suggestions at least his mom is proud of him I'm not even sure if that's true to be honest folks the Dylan Mulvaney Memorial Award you know what I was looking for just
Starting point is 00:16:09 before I pull this sucker out I was trying to get the Dylan Mulvaney can to it did not work there's only one of them and then you know somewhere somebody's got it well someone probably made a replica of it Right? Something to do with his fumbling to pronounce, pronounce names, like every episode.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And, yeah, so that's... So we were both on the same page, were we? The Bud Light Memorial Employee of the Month goes to Sean Newman of the Tuesday mashup. Wow. Tuesday, I mean, Tews really stepped up his game, didn't he, folks? I mean, it's, it's all... I didn't really... I just picked...
Starting point is 00:16:52 the measurements i didn't realize that it was going to be such a big cock it's going on the mantle anyways i can't wait to walk home tonight show the wife anyways we're going to you know we're like 17 minutes in we haven't done jack squat other than look at pictures and are we going to cover the news or are we just going to i don't know does anybody want the news anyways uh maybe tuesday needs to start a college fund collage fund college fun anyways Sorry, Maury. Or Lori. I can't, like, anyways.
Starting point is 00:17:28 I already got a DM. Good job on the trophy. It literally just popped up. So thank you for that. I can't believe, anyways. I guess I'm going to have to step up my game, folks. Although I thought, you know, D.C., I'm really, you know, look at the dairy cartel trying to influence both sides of us, eh?
Starting point is 00:17:48 Oh, yeah. This is exactly like the lobbyists. We're just pounded with a bunch of propaganda, and we both went Bud Light. Yeah, that makes a ton of sense. Anyways, Budlake, Memorial Employee of the Month. Sean Newman. Anyways. I was trying to go through the comments and you opened it before I really had a chance to enjoy the moment.
Starting point is 00:18:05 But the point that I'm trying to make here, Sean, is that you make a lot of really good contributions to the Tuesday mashup. And the management team really values your input. Thank you. Thank you. I'm all for it. All for it. Okay. Accountability. Can we get to the news?
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah. God. I've been waiting forever. Accountability. Oh, God. Sean, come on. Pull it together. Oh, my goodness. Give me the award back. Give me the award back. You can try again in September. It's like, Sean, you have one job. Yeah, I got one job. Anyways, accountability can go FIFA itself. Here we go. City of Toronto,
Starting point is 00:18:53 says it can't disclose details of the agreement it has signed with FIFA to co-host. I want to repeat that again. It can't disclose details of the agreements it has signed with FIFA to co-host the 2026 World Cup because the terms of the contracts compel the municipality to keep them secret because that's where the best deals always are. That means the public will have limited insight into the commitments the city has made to stage at least five games of the international soccer tournament at an estimated cost of taxpayers of $300 million.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Or, yeah. These aren't commitments that the city is now beholden to. These are commitments that the taxpayers are beholden to. Imagine for a second that I just went into a car dealership. And I was like, that's a nice Lambo you got there. I'll take it. And then I write Sean Newman on the thing. And then they come to you and they're like,
Starting point is 00:19:50 it says Sean Newman, you owe me this money. They're like, this seems suspicious. Can I see the contract, please? They say no. No, it's secret. No, it specifically says on it that Sean is not allowed to read it. They're like, but, but now I owe you $17 million or whatever Lamborghini costs. I'm sure if I was richer, I would know.
Starting point is 00:20:10 And so anyway, now you're beholden to them for this money and you owe them this money. And when you ask to see the paperwork on it, they tell you to get fucked. This is the exact deal that the city of Toronto agreed to, and I can't believe that it can actually be legally upheld in Canada. Because you would say, I am party on this contract. Let me read the fucking thing. What did you think about the comment in the thing that said, the big fish like FIFA, this is in quotes.
Starting point is 00:20:43 They're able to swing a big stick here, and you kind of have to play the game that they put forward. Well, it's the same thing with Arena deal. I just think of any other company business whatever where you would go to the town city, RM, whatever, and say, listen, we need a new office building. We need a new warehouse. We need a new manufacturing facility. Here's the plans.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Draw it up. Give us the land. Build it. And we're going to need some tax breaks. And if you don't do all of this, then we're going to move to Phoenix. And we'll just let the whole thing burn down around us. It's quite fair. It's playing political games.
Starting point is 00:21:38 This one's a little, I don't know. This is a tournament that's going to last a month. At least with the arena and a sports or an NHL team, you have them there for decades. Yes. And so the arena gets old. But yeah. Sure. And then this will all get played out all over again.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Anyways. Yeah. Cities just need to start saying, look, we're not the ones leaving. We're sorry that you think you're different than every other business and that we should just buy you your own fucking facility. But let's be real. You're the one choosing to leave because you want a free building somewhere else. And eventually, all they need to do is just stand up together. Can you go away?
Starting point is 00:22:24 Also, can you explain this? United Passions? What do you mean? What do you mean can I explain it? It's just a shitty movie. It's the movie that FIFA paid to have made after all these bribery scandals and the killing of people in Qatar, the killing of Nepalese slaves in the construction of the Qatar stadiums came to light. They paid Tim Rowe and Sam, not Sam Elliott, Sam, Sam, Neil, a bunch of money to be in the shittiest. It got zero percent on the tomato meter and 11% on the audience score.
Starting point is 00:23:02 So this is what they do to turn things around. This is the kind of thing you would expect Trudeau to do. And then he'd try and get Leonardo DiCaprio to play him. But Leonardo DiCaprio could only play a younger Trudeau because that's when the love interest. anyways. Okay. Sinking ship is a houseboat of cards. Here's from the Toronto Sun.
Starting point is 00:23:32 We're continuing to show leadership on climate, Trudeau said this week. He went on to say he's coming up with solutions while conservative leader Pierre Poulyev wants to cut the carbon tax that is helping drive up prices. He accused Pelliev of trying to instill fear in Canadians as opposed to what Trudeau does when he attacks his opposition with false claims and his own brand of fear. The latest poll from Abacus Data has the conservatives leading the liberals nationally with 38% support to 26%. Poll after poll in the last several months has shown decreasing liberal support to the point where Trudeau's party doesn't lead in voter support in a single region in the country. The conservatives have a solid lead among men, have recently taken the lead among women, and lead in every region except Quebec.
Starting point is 00:24:16 And then it went on to say the data released last month by statistics Canada shocking the number of police. Oh, this was, this was, apologies, this was on guns. This was the, since Trudeau's been in, the next thing, all these different crises coming. The next one was on guns. And it was the data released last month by stats, Canada are shocking. The number of police reported violent crimes nationwide shot up to 531,000 and change in 2022, an increase of almost two-fifths. from 2015, all of it on the liberals watch. Adjusted for population growth, the picture is nearly as bad.
Starting point is 00:24:51 There were 1,365 violent crimes per 100,000 Canadians in 2022, a 27% increase since 2015 and the worst year since 2006. He does whatever the fuck he wants. Why shouldn't everybody else? Look at all that blue. Various shades of blue, but blue. Yeah, this whole thing is falling apart. and now you've got, what was it, the National Post?
Starting point is 00:25:18 The Globe of Mail did that article about how we need to ban all guns because guns are evil. Motherfucker, you haven't been able to buy or sell a handgun in over a year, okay? This is not news. This is deflection. Next week it's going to be abortion. The next week after that, as fall starts to happen, it's going to be climate change again. And then they're going to try and bring out the new variant and see if anybody can get scared into voting for him. again and this is just this is just their playing the old hits because everything else is falling
Starting point is 00:25:52 apart around them they've got a few things to stand by on this is a liberal fundraiser in edmonton last this is what this is why i'm saying folks that may we're me and twos we're talking about earlier on patreon we're like maybe we should figure a way to crowd fund or away everybody pays 10 bucks and me and two show up to one of these things and uh and i don't know have some fun with it wouldn't that be something anyways Yeah, pretty crazy. I mean, this is an interesting photo because obviously there was more people than just that. But I mean, at the same time, here's video of it, right?
Starting point is 00:26:24 Like, you've got the prime minister of Canada in town, and that's what is there. How many of them are judges? And we've all seen the videos of when Pollyev comes to town right now. Like, it's like, it's crazy how many people show up? Yeah, I wonder how many duffel bags are going to be voting. Climate change fires disproportionately affect outskirts of upper-class regions. Isn't it funny how they always get to seem started right next to liberal strongholds? National Post, here's the National Post to start.
Starting point is 00:27:03 As surely as temperatures rise during the summer, climate alarmism serves up stories of life-threatening heat domes, apocalyptic fires biblical floods, all blamed squarely on global warming. Yet the data proves this link is often cherry-picked, and the proposed policy response are enormously ineffective. Along with temperature spikes, alarming images of forest fire sharing the front pages this summer, you'd easily get the sense that the planet is on fire. The reality, however, is that since NASA satellites started accurately recording fires across the entire surface of the planet, two decades ago, there has been a strong downward trend in the early 2003 percent of the world's land area burned each year. Last year, fireburned 2.2% of the world's area, a new record low.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Yet you would struggle to find that report anywhere. And here's 70% water, so as far as the whole world goes, it doesn't a little bit. So then here's CTV news. CTV news. Canada's current wildfire season is devastating evidence of the effects of climate change scientists say, but for some conspiracy theorists, the thousands of square kilometers of burnt ground isn't enough to convince them. Instead, space lasers, arsonists, and government plots to restrict people's movements are some of the causes of the fire, according to fringe online circles. But despite being fringe, arsonists is a fringe.
Starting point is 00:28:24 These theories are wildly circulated and by social media algorithms. Okay. Now, I'm going to pull up, I'm going to read off, we'll talk about Greece. Fire Department officials in Greece arrested two men Saturday for allegedly deliberately setting fires, while hundreds of firefighters battle wildfires that killed at least 21 people in the last week. One man was arrested on the island of Evia for allegedly setting fire to dry grass in the Caristos area.
Starting point is 00:28:51 The fire department said the man confessed to having set four other fires in the area in July and August, okay? And I mean, this is probably the worst place in the world to be starting fires because everybody knows that grease fires are really hard to put out. well played well played sir here's here's according to the associated press about yeah so okay so you have you have you have everybody saying oh conspiracy and then you have in deadly mass a maui fires many had no warning and no way out
Starting point is 00:29:26 those who dodged barricades survived okay ctv pull your head out of your ass anyways as flames tore through a west maui neighborhood car after car fleeing residents headed for the only path paved road out of the town and desperate race for safety and car after car was turned back toward the rapidly spreading fire wildfire by a barricade blocking access to highway 30 one family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later another drove the four four wheel drive car down a dirt road to escape one man took a dirt road uphill climbing above the fire and watching as lehaina burned he later picked his way through the flames and spoke or anyways so you get you get you kind of get the full climate um everything right ctv yeah
Starting point is 00:30:06 There you go. Zane chiming in. But I mean, you kind of get the full gambit there, two's of... Gammy. Yes, sorry. You get everything. You get one after another of all these different things, you know, National Post saying, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:20 it's a climate alarm is. You've got one side saying it's conspiracy theories and these people are fringe and crazy. And you've got another side saying, here's some fucking math. Which side do you think has more credibility in this, Sean? The math side, probably.
Starting point is 00:30:40 You know, I sat and talked to a lady that everybody, I don't know how if you saw that tech from Solista. Steph was one of the ones who put out this kind of SOS. I had her on the podcast last week for like maybe 20 minutes, just to kind of update because it was wildfires near Salmon Arm. And she told me afterwards that they had spike strips on one of the bridges, that they had roadblocks. This is in our country.
Starting point is 00:31:03 And she's like, I'm not getting into conspiracy stuff. telling you what's going on and she said the cops were there trying to prevent uh prevent looting she goes i'd rather lose my tv and have my neighbors come help me save the house you know and it's like yeah so she had an interesting story like anyways it's just i thought it was actually really good that you did that that wildfire update by the way that was that was very cool i talked to a guy who just sold a house and shushwap two months ago and it's not there anymore and he was saying that it was crazy, it was weird, because you had the police saying, get out, and these people saying, look, we would like to try and save our house, if at all possible,
Starting point is 00:31:43 right? And the cops saying, everybody needs, you need to either get out or stay in your home. Like, well, we kind of want to go to where the fire is and try and fucking stop it, right? Well, one of the things I was saying was, can you, well, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong on this being a prairie kid. but like if a fire was going through the prairies whole community shows up a whole community shows up and they got every piece of hardware out there and you go to and they're just plowing
Starting point is 00:32:10 and I can't imagine a cop trying to stand in the way and the thing about the prairies is you can't they just drive over the next grid road and go around you it's like what are you going to do you can't do anything so you stand back and you probably help Tom and Fred and the rest of the gang put the stupid thing out but that's what was interesting about Steph on the phone that's what they were doing all these little communities
Starting point is 00:32:28 were had their little I don't know I don't understand it being the mountains and everything, but they have their way, they understand what to do, and they go do it. So, anyway, they just roll rocks onto the stuff until, yeah, like stop, drop and roll kind of thing, but with a landslide. Minus two Newman. What the heck, Matt DeJon? Maddie was all twos, you suck and everything, and now I'm getting dinged. He's coming around.
Starting point is 00:32:53 He's coming around. You know what? It just maybe just took a little while. He said, by the way, that when I said DeJong, that I. that I butchered the pronunciation of his name, but he was shit-talking, my ad read, so I'm good with that. Did you see this one?
Starting point is 00:33:07 You better have some bud lights now or the awards don't count? I guess they don't. I'm not going to have a fucking bud light. Capital punishment in Alabama, a gas. Oh man, this is, this is, anyways. Alabama is seeking to become the first state to execute a prisoner by making him breathe pure nitrogen.
Starting point is 00:33:30 The Alabama Attorney General's office on Friday asked the state Supreme Court to set an execution date for death row inmate, Kenneth Smith. Alabama plans to put him to death by nitrogen hypoxia, an execution method that is authorized in three states but has never been used. Smith's execution by lethal injection was called off last year because of problems with intravenous lines. Smith was convicted in 1988 murder for hire slaying of a preacher's wife. Prosecutors said Smith was one of two men who were each paid $1,000. to kill Elizabeth Senate on behalf of her husband who was deeply in debt and wanted to collect insurance. The slaying and the revelations over who was behind it rocked the small North Alabama community. A number of Alabama inmates, including Smith, in seeking to block their
Starting point is 00:34:13 executions by a lethal injection, have argued they should be allowed to die by nitrogen hypoxia. I had some qualms about talking about this article. I don't want to give anybody ideas, but apparently if you can pay $2,000 to kill somebody as a way to stop you from losing so much damn money, I just don't, just don't go. No, nope, no, don't do it. Inflation is probably going to cost you way more than that. But it's just, it's, I find it interesting how like, first of all, they want to, you're killing the guy, right?
Starting point is 00:34:54 but you're like, oh, well, I can't really find a vein. Well, just make him drink it. Just pinch his nose and hold his mouth shut. He's strapped down to a chair. There's so many different ways that you could do this. You could just get a little, like, just sleep or hold. Just hold it there for just a minute. Just to kill.
Starting point is 00:35:14 He stops twitching. There's so many different things you can do. But we're just so dead set on killing these murderers humanely. Fuck it. I get the fact that you don't need to torture him for several days. You don't need to impale them on a spike. But you could just have a couple horses rip them apart. Like, why do you have to get so weird about it?
Starting point is 00:35:41 Nitrogen. There's, there's, how many different elements are there? Like 120? 119 of them will suffocate you. Pick any one of them. I was listening. It doesn't have to be overcomplicated. I was listening to a book,
Starting point is 00:35:57 uh, project paper clip by, Annie Jacobson. Do you know what I'm talking about? Operation paperclip, yes. Project paperclip, no. Oh, yeah, you're right. Operation Paperclip, the book. Have you read it?
Starting point is 00:36:09 No, but I know what happened. Okay, okay. This lady wrote a book on it. And what they find in 1945 that the Nazis have been hiding in, like, the mountains near Auschwitz, is this, and I sure wrote it down, it's this chemical compound
Starting point is 00:36:25 that if you get, like, just on your finger, It kills you within seconds to hours. And I'm like, that was the 45s, twos. And we're, when you talk about trying to forget it, how do you do it? Well, I don't know if we can kill them because we're having trouble finding a vein. I mean, I'm just saying, like, you're talking about the things on the periodic table. It's like, man, in the 40s, some of the worst human beings on this planet figured how to do it out in a second with, if you touched it with your finger.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I'm just saying, what in the fuck did I just read? I didn't even know what to do with this. Quebec's College of Physicians say some doctors in the province are afraid to perform medical aid in dying because they fear reprisals. The professional order expresses its concern in a letter it plans to send to members today, which is obtained by the Canadian press. The letter signed by the college president, Marie Goddrow,
Starting point is 00:37:22 does not specify what kind of reprisals doctors fear or from whom. Dr. Michelle Burroughs said a growing number of made cases were put pushing the limits of law and that there was a slight increase in the number of procedures that didn't follow the rules. Sounds like Alabama could learn something from Canada, just saying. Goodro says the college is not worried that a growing number of Quebecers are seeking medical aid and dying, adding that more than 99% of all made cases follow the law. Bureau said that Quebec is on track to finish the year with 7% of all deaths recorded as
Starting point is 00:37:56 doctor-assisted. Okay, 7% of the people dying in fucking Quebec are from the doctors. And they're figuring reprisals, we should be giving them employee of the month. Okay? But also, here's where it gets real fucking dark. More than 99% of all made cases follow the law. That means that 1% of made cases are not. Correct.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Do you know what it is when you illegally kill somebody? Murder? Murder. They're saying that 1% of the cases have made in fucking, fucking Quebec. It's a murder. Our actual murder, not just like it's a good idea
Starting point is 00:38:39 because they're French, okay? But actual fucking murder. And it's just buried. It's like the second last paragraph of this thing. It's just casually mentioned. Oh, yes,
Starting point is 00:38:51 our doctors are murdering people. And now on to the weather. What the fuck is wrong with this country, Sean? If we, well, anyways, I don't know what to say to that too, is because,
Starting point is 00:39:07 I mean, And you read that and you're just like, you got one country that can't figure out how to kill a convicted murderer. You got another one just clamoring over themselves to murder seven, well, to medically assist in dying, 7%, 1% of which they're not doing it properly. Honestly, we should just give him his Canadian citizenship. We're giving everybody else Canadian citizenship. Boom, done. Yeah. You, hey Alabama, you want Kenneth Smith out of your way?
Starting point is 00:39:32 Bring him up here. We'll take care of it. Real lickety split. You guys can't figure out those, how to do it. it we're doing it it like it was like 1,000 people like man i thought our doctors were shit it was 10 000 by 2021 i don't know if i've seen the updated stats of what it's up to now but it's like it's an insane amount of people that are doing it one percent of them are murdered clinics leaving canada as another round of sniffles on the rise um c tv reported
Starting point is 00:40:05 thursday evening that kimberley clark is discontinuing its consumer facial tuesday business in Canada this month citing unique complexities within the market. Clinix, which calls itself Canada's favorite facial tissue brand on its website, even posted a goodbye message to Canucks Online. Thank you so much for your loyalty to our Kleenex brand facial tissues for the past few decades. The message says, we appreciate you allowing us in your households and you and want you to know how difficult was for us in the end to end our sales in Canada. We've been operating in a highly constrained supply environment and despite our best efforts,
Starting point is 00:40:37 We have been faced with some unique complexities on the Kleenex business. They can't get the shit they need to make the Kleenex. What's Kleenex made out of? It's tissue paper, which comes from fucking trees, of which there are trillions in this country. And we can't figure out how to get enough trees to Kleenex within Canada for them to continue selling it. And yet another company is exiting Canada. because they can't get enough trees in a country with trillions of them. Milton Friedman, one of the smartest people to ever goddamn live,
Starting point is 00:41:16 said, if you put the government in charge of the Sahara, in 10 years, they'll be out of sand. Tews, didn't you know all the trees are burning down? All of them. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Yeah, I guess, yeah, I mean, we can't have clean it. It totally makes sense now. Can't do anything about it. I mean. Yeah. Yeah, they're all gone. Just, you know, world's burning. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Darn. Also, there's been like six other companies that have exited Canada lately, like Delicio Pizza and Bugels. I know. So good luck doing witches figure. Ah, bugles. Finance minister is a lead balloon with a lead foot. Transport. I'm skipping.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Christia Freeland, was fine for speeding in Alberta last week. I did get a speeding ticket, she is quoted. she confirmed to reporters during an afternoon availability and PEI on Wednesday. Freeland said she was driving between Grand Prairie and Peace River when she was pulled over. She was fined $273 for driving 132 kilometers per hour in Alberta. The maximum speed limit on highways is 110. And last month, Freeland faced criticisms from conservatives over her comments about not owning a car
Starting point is 00:42:31 in the context of the rising cost of gas and carbon pricing without mentioning her access to a car and driving as a federal minister. A fact that still shocks me Shocks my dad is that I don't actually own a car feeling until the reporter's on an event in P.I. in late July. And I listened to that one and I wanted to smack myself in the face after listening to it. Actually
Starting point is 00:42:50 I had included that clip and I'm much preferring you reading it than hearing that god-awful fucking voice. So thank you for that. Now, here we're going to go here. Wax it Barbie. She had tweeted out, I personally don't have any problem with Christia
Starting point is 00:43:06 Freeling getting the fuck out of Roberta as fast as humanly possible. That's the best thing on Twitter all week right there. That comment was just... And then Kean Bexie said, for the record, because people are missing this part, thanks to the CBC cover-up, Freeman was caught going 42 kilometers over,
Starting point is 00:43:26 and she would have been 8 kilometers faster, and she would have been arrested and car-and-pounded. The officer grounded her roadside leniency and only charged the deputy PM with 32 over. The media has decided, to only report the lower number, not the real number. Yeah, which by the way, Kean Bexty of the counter signal, this was an exclusive from him. He broke this story first.
Starting point is 00:43:48 And then when the mainstream media picked it up, they tried changing it around to say, oh, yeah, yeah, we got it from, you know, government employees, I think is what they went with, rather than being like, well, actually, no, you got it from this guy who broke the fucking story. Give him the fucking credit. I get the fact that you don't like that the guy with no budget is more agile and better at this
Starting point is 00:44:12 than your bureaucratic overbloded bullshit but give credit where it's due. Yeah, I 100% agree on that because, well, independent media, man, we're looking pretty dang agile these days, aren't we too? You know? Like, I bring this up all the time. We were just talking about the CTF, Canadian taxpayers.
Starting point is 00:44:34 We're going to get to them in a second anyway. Are they coming up? They're coming up next. They're coming up next. Anyways, the next one I was going to, the other one I was thinking of was Blacklocks reporter because of Holly and Tom, a married couple, like breaking stories like mad,
Starting point is 00:44:49 like mad people. Like, you know, it's just like, there's just these little pockets of people just doing crazy work. Yep. And some people just can't pick your back. No, it's, oh, you adapt or die.
Starting point is 00:45:04 I am tired of talking about the Governor General's... Okay, this is good, though, okay? Well, it's good and it's bad. Okay, the Governor General's Office credibility hurt by disclosure, okay? If we haven't all learned by now, I don't even know what I put down for notes. I was so choked at having to read this all... Anyways, transportation costs for the Governor General during her first full year in office cost nearly $3 million.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Data from government documents put the cost of flying Governor General Mary Simon to four overseas engagements. and 17 domestic trips across Can the last year at $2.78 million spread across a number of government departments and ministries. Yeah, and so the Canadian Taxpayer Federation, Franco Tarzano, did a video for this. And I remember when you said that he was going to come on, I was thinking, I don't really know that much about this guy. But if he's Chris Sims' boss, then presumably he's better at this than she is, I don't know, like they're both really good. Chris, if you're listening, I got a sweet spot in my heart for Chris
Starting point is 00:46:10 because she can lay it down. Oh, she totally. But who are we kidding? It's like having, I don't know, it's like being like this great Alberta hockey team. It's kind of like having McDavid on your top line and dry settle on, you know, on the second line. It's kind of like that. Anyways, carry on.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Okay. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that the Canadian taxpayer Federation can get to the conference final, though. So in the meantime. Oh, is that so? Anyways, they did get to the conference. conference final two years ago. Anyways, just saying.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Well, back in 1987, they were the Stanley Cup champions. Didn't you know that? Okay, carry on. All right. Anyway, I was just thinking I was like, if he's the head of this place, he's got to be pretty stinking good. Fair.
Starting point is 00:46:53 And he is. It's frustrating. Like, he did this video on Twitter, and I'm looking at it, like, you know what? Just, it's just, fire me. I'll never be employee of the month. have him do the mashup every week. We should bite them.
Starting point is 00:47:08 You think they would come do this? Or is it too political for him? It's probably too political. Probably is, eh? But man, would either or both of them be phenomenal at this? Could they just like abstain from like a question? Sorry, I can't comment on that. Only allowed to comment on the money.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Maybe they wouldn't. Who knows? I don't know. I know that some of them tune in. Well, it's out there anytime you guys want on. Anyways, side down. Okay. So anyways, Governor General,
Starting point is 00:47:38 $3 million, traveling, carry on, sorry. Here's the best. This is why it's in the mashup this week, because this is just, I, words escape me. So I'll use theirs. These reports are harmful,
Starting point is 00:47:54 these reports of how much money the Governor General's office is spending, right? These reports are harmful to Canada's diplomatic efforts and they disregard the importance of connecting and celebrating Canadians in their communities, the statement read. Okay. Reporting on this is harmful. Not the actual doing of it.
Starting point is 00:48:20 By telling the public what the fuck we're wasting all this money on, you're undermining our credibility, and you should fucking stop. You know what? I don't know if anybody else has any other ideas in Rido Hall. But what the fuck if maybe you just quit spending the money and we wouldn't have to report on it? I just think we're in the wrong occupation, man. I want to know how we get paid $3 million to go do. I told twos before we started this show as I'm reading this, because for the folks who've been every man,
Starting point is 00:49:00 like how many times have we talked about the governor general in the course of 70 bloody episodes? I swear it is every second one. I'm tired of reading that she spent like $500 on orange. orange juice and just like stupid ticky. Me too. What? This was just this line about how it undermines, it undermines the diplomatic efforts. Oh, and it disparages the honor of the hall or whatever else.
Starting point is 00:49:26 I put two's in wherever it mentioned her name. And I was like, oh, two spent 70 grand on limo where he didn't need to. I bet you two's had fun. Tews was having a lot of fun. That's the only way I got through this. He was probably dressed. Probably spent $16,000 on the Donair costume, was riding around a limo, just having a grand old time, right? Like, that's the only way I'm getting through these Governor General articles anymore, because I'm just like, why are we paying this woman to do nothing?
Starting point is 00:49:53 That's all I see. Maybe I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong. Canada's got about 7 million people, give or take, that we pay to do nothing. I don't see why she should be any different. Antiquated company insulted, insulated for market needs, losing money. Canada Post continued to bleed cash last quarter as losses ballooned by 59%. In a release Friday, the Crown Corporation reported before tax loss of $254 million for its second
Starting point is 00:50:23 quarter versus $160 million in losses a year earlier. The country's main postal operator says revenue dropped by $78 million or 6% year over year due to decline across all lines of business. Canada Post says an increasingly competitive market for parcel delivery continued to dent revenues through the first half of 2023, while transaction, mail, and direct marketing deliveries also fell amid business-strained promotional budgets. And dang it, too's I didn't write the last line,
Starting point is 00:50:49 which said they're not going to look at layoffs or anything like that. Oh, yeah. Also, the last line technically was this report by the Canadian press was first published August 25, 2003. But yes, they did say they weren't going to look at layoffs. I love how Canada Posts is,
Starting point is 00:51:13 increasingly competitive market for parcel delivery, continue to dent revenues. It's not our fault that we suck. It's the market's fault for giving people options that aren't our shitty service. Could you just imagine they're marketing it all wrong? Because like, yeah, you know what? You can you can pay the extra money. That's the thing. They're the cheapest one around.
Starting point is 00:51:40 If you want shit to actually get there at a decent time, you've got to pay more. And people do. right but they've got this thing where yeah i'm going to give you five bucks you're going to take this envelope it might get there it might not it might happen in a reasonable time frame it might not and probably half of our fucking business comes from revenue Canada and motor license issuers right oh and and a bunch of flyers too like nobody nobody uses when was last time you wrote a fucking letter and mailed it to somebody with fucking Canada Post.
Starting point is 00:52:15 I can't even think. High school maybe. Some camp pen pal or something. Right? Well, once again, I just, you know, like, I bet you if you got a few entrepreneurs in there and they started whipping it around, they'd have that place
Starting point is 00:52:31 in ship shape. But that is not what they're, but that's not what they're interested in. Correct. Everything's protected by unions. It's insulated from the consequences by the fact that it's a Crown Corporation. Like, Wouldn't it have been great if they were just as shitty as they were last year and only lost $160 million? They're marketing it all wrong, Sean. They need to stop saying that they're competitive or compelling or they're doing good.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Remember that mashup we did like 15 weeks in where they tried stealing Tuesday from us. Yes, they didn't get to keep it. We took it back and they're the ones losing a quarter of a billion dollars every quarter. That's a billion dollars a year. They need to just start marketing it like to hipsters and stuff. like artisanal parcel delivery. Arrival in roughly three weeks, if at all. I hearken back to a simpler time.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Back when parcels might or might not have made the voyage across the great sea. Are you saying going back to the post, man? Put them on horse? I'm just saying, well, I mean, there's, there's, it would be, if it would be carbon neutral, right? They may as well just market themselves as, as that hearkening back to a simpler time. You're like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Maybe they got hit by the Cthulhu coming out of the ocean. Maybe it was the Loch Ness monster. Maybe that got hit by a typhoon. I don't know. In 300 years, someone might find this parcel at the bottom of the ocean. Choose Canada Post. Porch pirate had scurvy sea dogs manning torpedoes. I feel like that.
Starting point is 00:54:11 You could say that a few. different times. Anyways, voting in the wrong riding during the 2021 federal election netted a former advisor to the prime minister's office a hefty fine. Aisha, uh, chugdy, chugdy, chugdy, anyways, who previously served as a regional advisor for the PMO was handed a $1,500 penalty by the commissioner of Canada elections for voting in the riding of Calgary Skyview, a riding she doesn't live in, even though earlier attempts to cast a ballot in the riding were stopped by the riding's returning officer. According to witness statements, provided to the OCCE investigator.
Starting point is 00:54:45 She indicated returning office staff that she would nevertheless vote at an advance poll, which she proceeded to do on September 13th. The portal also cited her admission that she was a volunteer with Calgary Skyview's Liberal Party of Canada, candidate George Chahal, and intended it on casting a vote in the writing to support him. Information on file shows that Aisha Chugdi was working for the LPC during the 44th general election, including as a volunteer for the LPC candidate for whom she indicated she wished to vote and that she was then also an employee of the prime minister's office the report stated and then it is quoted as saying the failure of those involved in the political process to comply with the
Starting point is 00:55:24 rules adopted by parliament to ensure a fair election can contribute to a loss of public confidence in the integrity of members of political class which may as a result increase voter apathy and if you're sitting there at home wondering why on earth Calgary skyview It's like, did we, I feel like we've talked about this place before. Well, that's because it isn't the first, yes, that isn't the first time they've been putting the crosshairs. That was the video of the guy stealing the flyer out of the, out of the guy's mailbox.
Starting point is 00:55:55 With his name on his own jersey on the back. Correct. So when he turns around from the doorbell camera, it says, Chahal right there, number 21. And he got buying 500 bucks for that. Yeah, which is not a lot of money when you get paid $180. $186,000 a year for four years. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:14 So anyways, this guy, one of his volunteers, was stopped in an attempt to vote in this writing. They said, you can't vote here. She said, I am a volunteer for this guy, and I'm going to fucking vote for him. I don't give a shit what the rules are. And neither does he. I'm going to fucking vote for him.
Starting point is 00:56:35 What are you going to do about it? Well, you illegally helped him win an election. And you got to find $1,500, which he probably paid you. And isn't it weird that voting for him illegally is less, is three times the penalty of him personally putting his thumb on the scales of fucking democracy? This is a wild story, too. This is this damn thing like last week. We're like, okay, well, that's a $250 fine. But conflict of interest commission, fine.
Starting point is 00:57:10 $200. So obviously that's more important. That's a bigger deal, right? The stuff is not proportional to... What they're actually doing. What they're doing. Yeah, well, I mean, she literally goes, yeah, I'm still going to vote. You know, you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:57:26 You're in the wrong riding. I'm still going to vote. I'm going to vote. I'm going to vote. And then votes. And then she votes. And they're like, okay, well, $1,500. And she's like, my guy won. I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Fuck you. So it's a wild story. The last straw, I don't know why this is funny, the last straw for plastic ban. Man, anyways, here's NBC News, okay? Some paper and bamboo straws contain so-called forever chemicals that could make them a less than ideal alternative to plastic researchers have found. Scientists in Belgium recently tested dozens of straws from supermarkets, retail stores, and fast food restaurants in the country
Starting point is 00:58:06 and found the majority contain P-FAS, a fact-a-s, family of synthetic chemicals used in the manufacture of consumer products because they can resist stains, grease, and water. PFS, an acronym for per and polyfluorical substances, are often referred to as forever chemicals because they linger almost permanently in air, water, and soil. They are frequently detected in food wrappers, cosmetics, carpet, furniture, and textiles, such as raincoats or workout clothes. Of the straws tested in the study, those made of paper were the most likely to contain PFSAs. The chemicals were detected in 18 of the 20 brands.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Four to five bamboo straws sampled contain them as well, compared to the three out of four plastic straws and two out of five glass straws. All five stainless steel straws analyzed were PFAS free. That's a mouthful. Exposure to PFSAs can be associated with low birth weight, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, and an increased risk of kidney and liver cancers. But don't worry about it. They're not, they haven't figured at all.
Starting point is 00:59:09 all out. Low birth weight isn't really that big of a deal, Sean. When I was born, I weighed a fraction of what I do now. Very true statement. Very true statement. Yeah. So I just, I think this is incredibly interesting. Explain to me the rationale for banning plastic straws. Just real quick, like just 10 seconds. That, um, they are commonly used every single day and it's a piling up in the ozone, not the ozone in the waters and whatever. I don't know. Everybody, you use. Because it's just piling up. It's just piling up and it's not going away. Sure.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Like a forever chemical, for example. They're just replacing one idiot thing with another. Does it actually solve the problem? No. This is the same stuff we covered two separate weeks. We kind of touched on it. It's like they sat in a room and they went, it's like they sat in a room to's.
Starting point is 01:00:03 And they went, man, you know, this plastic is getting out of hand. Yeah, you watch that document in a day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, really, okay. What could we do about it? We could ban straws. Man, that's a smart idea.
Starting point is 01:00:15 We should ban straws. What are we going to put? Paper. Paper's great. Do they look in anything? No, because it's paper. Paper's great, right? Paper's awesome.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Paper's great. I mean, they switched. 18 to 20 had forever chemicals. They switched from plastic to paper, or from paper to plastic 30 years ago because we didn't want to lose all the trees. And now we're switching back because, fuck the trees and apparently this is probably why Kleenex had to leave all the trees went to straws that's what that's what we're saying yeah and they're like this is the last straw
Starting point is 01:00:48 anyway but it's just it's it's funny they never really think about the the effects of this the calgary co-op again like i i was in one of the gas stations fueling up and and they had this thing on sign this online petition i'm like motherfuckers i'm going to even way better than signing up for some petition i talk about how stupid it is because there's a bag with no plastic in it that is being banned along with the plastic. Because it doesn't matter if you actually fix the problem. Oh, well, a whole bunch of shit is showing up in the environment and it's not going anywhere. It's just staying there forever.
Starting point is 01:01:28 What can we do? What if we replaced it with a slightly different chemical that's going to stay there forever? Okay, but somebody's got an idea for one that actually isn't made out of plastic. Fuck him. He's from Alberta. Who was the company that we actually talked about? They're out of Calgary that had the great idea for compostable. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Some green hippie magic bag bullshit. They're incorporated. But the point is that they're actually doing something good. And the liberal's like, you're not supposed to do good. You're supposed to do what the fuck we tell you. War-torn hellhole preferential to urban Canada. Nice and simple here, folks. Some Ukrainians are deciding to return home to their war-torn countries
Starting point is 01:02:13 instead of remaining in Canada due to the high cost of living and other factors. Do I need to say anything else? No, basically, we brought in a whole bunch of people from Ukraine because it's like, oh, it's scary, we're being bombed with things other than, like, we're being bombed with shells and money. And so we're just going to send everybody across the ocean, and it's okay. We did this 100 years ago with a whole bunch of Ukraine. We'll do it again.
Starting point is 01:02:39 We'll just bring them all in. And then the new ones got here. Fuck this place. I'm going to go back to the boarded up, the boarded up, shell-shocked, bomb-strewn apartment building in my dacha
Starting point is 01:02:54 that I just crawled out of six months ago because it's better than fucking Toronto. Just imagine. Like, they come here and they're like, what the hell is going on in this place? This place sucks. Hey, man, how many more years is it going to be before Ukrainians are scrolling the internet
Starting point is 01:03:14 looking for mail order Canadian brides? Oh, I tell you what, it shocks me because we both know we live in a beautiful country. It's absolutely beautiful. I can't think of, you know, like... They're not saying they don't like the scenery. That's right. They're not saying that.
Starting point is 01:03:31 What they're saying is it's like crazy... Especially now there's no more trees block in the view. They're saying it's like them... It's unaffordable to live here. that's pretty much the number one thing and other factors and other factors could be a list of like 50 things at this point that you're just like you're willing to go back to a war-torn country and you're like
Starting point is 01:03:51 masquerade we'll go back and deal with that yeah and the only thing that comes to mind hope they don't shit on you boo shithocks shit on who shithawks big dirty shithawks I mean there's a lot of people that would rather deal with Putin than than Trudeau
Starting point is 01:04:12 so I can't really blame him too much. Happy news, Jordan Peterson loses appeal. I'm going to pull it up here. So Jordan Peterson, so the Ontario Court of... What did he say that? Is it April?
Starting point is 01:04:29 Ontario Court of Bullshit. Basically... Rule that they can pursue their prosecution. If you think they have the right to free speech in Canada, you're delusional. I'll make every aspect of this public, and we will see what happens when utter transparency is the rule, bring it on.
Starting point is 01:04:45 And I love it. This is very happy news. Yeah, well, I mean, it's these bureaucratic, idiot, bullshit people showing us exactly who they are. You've got a bunch of woke courts siding with them, even though there's no realistic legal standing for anything they did. And so all of these Canadian institutions that are following, following in line, falling in line with all of this diatribe of numskullery are just showing their true colors.
Starting point is 01:05:20 And in the meantime, they're not fighting me, you know, in my membership in the Project Management Institute or some random weirdo in a Pega or some other person and some other thing. They're taking on Jordan Peterson, who we can hold up as kind of our shield. in this because he can handle this a lot better than any of the rest of us can. And so I get it that it sucks for Jordan Peterson, but I feel like it's going to work out pretty well for him when it's all said and done. And in the meantime, everybody's an asshole and we all get to see it in broad daylight. Beautiful, beautiful.
Starting point is 01:06:02 Sometimes I love this country, but it's always for the wrong reasons. It's funny, you know, I was thinking, like what year was it that, you know, Peterson was testifying and I think I think I 2016 yeah and I think he testified in front of in 2017 as well I think he was back anyways doesn't matter and I remember watching that bad like I don't know probably in 2018 my first started hearing about him maybe that's 20s maybe like he's kind of just like what the heck is he talking about right like okay all right whatever okay and now it's like oh crap so like I mean um him going to be like just full on transparency that'll be to watch because like he is a man on a mission right now and he's you know if you if you
Starting point is 01:06:47 don't know the whole entire backstory Jordan Peterson which I don't think majority of our listeners would have any issue I'm sure they know all about it but who yeah exactly anyways you should go watch about 18 hours well not 18 hours 1800 hours of freaking content he's got online now like the amount of stuff that you can go listen and watch Jordan Peterson is almost utter insanity Yeah, in a good way. Okay, that leads us to the importance of fishing. This is a cool story.
Starting point is 01:07:21 A teenage fisherman in Minnesota reeled in a lost wallet containing $2,000 in cash and then managed to reunite it with his grateful owner. Connor Halsef, 14, was on a family fishing outing in Lake of the Woods, and him and his family found a business owner... What an original name, by the way? He hooked this wallet, thought it was a fish, reels it in, they realize it's got two grand. They find a business cart in the wallet.
Starting point is 01:07:45 They made the call that would lead them to Jim Denny, an Iowa farmer who was fishing on the lake of the woods a year prior and dropped his wallet overboard, and they gave everything back and wouldn't take any of them. Good for them. I like the fact it's great that the guy tried to give some of the money back. The bonus marks would have been like, okay, well, you know what?
Starting point is 01:08:09 Why don't you and your dad just come fishing with me any weekend you want, you know or something like that yeah that would have been the the the real cherry on the i actually agree but i like how it i like how it went um regardless of my thoughts of of a perfect outcome it was still great and i'm a guy who doesn't really catch that much so i'm happy for them on that front too i just can't imagine as a kid getting two grand being like holy crap two grand 14 year old kid come on He's like, no, I gotta give it back. The guy's going, I'll give it to you.
Starting point is 01:08:45 Ah, just, no, just take it. You know, good on the dad and everything, but man, two grand in the wallet. That's, that's an interesting payday to find, you know, what do they say, 20 feet down on the lake, he hooks on to that sucker? Like, come on. Yeah, it's pretty lucky. Oh, yeah. Like, what are the odds on something like that, too? Anyways.
