This is a two-byte cupcake. This is bullshit. This isn't even one bite. There's nothing to do it. What the hell is wrong with these people? Hell. Even when you get like one of these artisanal ones, it's not even a two-byte.

That's what you had to go get. That's what you had to go get. Are you happy with your decision? Oh, no. I don't know. Watch him choke as he can You know folks He's sitting there and he's going

This was a poor decision Because I need a little beverage in there to wash it down You're going to be okay over there Oh yeah, I'm good What is it? It's just I'm fine Did you eat supper tonight

Knowing that was coming? I'm going to hammer down two cupcakes Or you were That doesn't even count as two cupcakes Sean That's the whole point Okay, fair enough. Two-byte cupcakes are absolute bullshit.

Fair enough. Fair enough. I'll digress. All right here. Mashup 72. Match-up 72 brought to by RU. Quarter Circle Farms from Irma, Alberta. You know, I've had a lot of time to think on this, okay?

Had a lot of time to think. And I was going in, elbows up. I was having a lot of fun. You're filibustering. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. Do I get to, did I interrupt you when you were doing this? No, I didn't.

That's because I muted you. Well, I can do that too. Anyways, I'm not even going to do that. because I thought about it all week and I had this plan all devised and I was like, oh yeah. And then, you know, like, I was chuckling to myself Friday, okay?

Now, for the folks that don't know, me and twos went to Gord Banford. And that happened because Slam gave us a table. And not just any table. I was chocolate, I'm like, we are not VIP worthy. And instead, we get VIP worthy. And we're like, oh, okay,

a bottle of wine on the table. I'm like, me and two share this. Like, what do we do with this, you know? And I didn't want to, I didn't want to crack it. And so I don't think any of us did, to be honest. I just kind of felt like an imposter. And so I was chuckling, you know, so I got all this like material.

How am I going to do it? And I'm like, you know, I'm going to attack him about being a flames fan. I don't know. I got all these different ideas. You were going to attack me during the ad read? Yeah, that's what I was thinking about. Anyways, you know, the bet was a couple of T-bone steaks, a couple of packages, a hamburger from the RU quarter circle farms, or my Alberta, right?

And the funny thing is, is we've created this, like, little community, too's. I don't know if you realize we've done this or not. But Friday night, I was sitting there watching you interact with Sean and Trissa Rue and their kids. And I'm like, this is, this is, like, kind of cool. Like, kind of like, I don't want to get too corny and lovey-dovey and, like, say it was special. But I'm like, somehow we're, you know, twos takes a day off work, folks. Actually, a couple days off work, drives five hours to go to Mar-Way and Lovie. Umberta to watch Gord Bamford, which he was good.

Yeah. To sit with, as it turns out, the week's sponsor where we're having this big, giant argument. And the entire night is teased around. I'm buying them off with five tickets to Gord Banford. I don't know if it worked or not. I guess we're going to find out. Regardless, I was like, I don't even care. Tews wins it, whatever.

I had way too much fun Friday night. They drove us home. Yeah, they were our D.D. Being responsible. And I'm like, like, what am I going to say at this point? I'm like if you want good people in your life They seem to come around and that's what are you quarter circle farm says 115 year old farm you know Sean Trisha Rue their family they brought their kids out two of their kids out

Brought Trisha's dad out like he regale me with some stories I might have a guest coming from them Talking hunter eight colonies I'm like what a night like what a night and for the listener You're like well I'm maybe I could get some some beef and I want to treat it local or keep it local or keep it local. It's like, well, are you quarter circle farms.com? I don't know. Free delivery, Irma, Wainerite, Viking, Manville. Do we need anything else? I don't think so. It was a cool night. They'll deliver outside of it. Yeah. Are you quarter circle farms.com? Trisha. Sean Rue family. I was, hey, it's all I got for you today. I know why I was supposed

to come in guns ablazing, but I was like Friday was a fun night. Me and twos don't get to do that very often. And the fact that happened with the, the family farm that is sponsoring us. And then they drove us home. I'm like, you know what? Give twos the meat. I don't care. Give somebody else the meat at this point.

It's such a cool. And I was, I said to them, I was like, give it to Sean. I'm just like, this is the cool. I said that to him. I mean, I said it, I said Sean needs the win. And he takes this stuff a lot more seriously than I was. I was bribing them with five tickets, folks. I've just admitted guilt to that.

Either way, it turned out to be a, a fun night. Great event. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was talking with Slim afterwards and he was saying, hey, you know,

thanks for plugging us on the show. You know, I think it really helped bring out the crowd. And I was like, dude, none of this has anything to do with us. This is because everybody knows that you guys throw awesome events.

The Lee Park Rodeo stands on its own, right? You've got that reputation. All of this is here because of how awesome would the show you guys have built this reputation for doing. 100% agree. So there you go. Mashup 72 brought to by RU Quarter Circle Farms.

That's Irma Alberta for you. And once again, fun night. Okay, on to different things. October 24th, 25th, 26th, the Tuesday mashup is going to do a live tour. We're going to do it for three days and three different venues. Our plan is to start or end. We're not sure. Lum's them.

We've been talking with a few people from there. So we believe it's going to Lumsden, but we're looking for two other destinations. Me and twos were arguing about it on the patron side of things. Do we go to Lloyd? You know, like my home stomping grounds, do we hit two random places in the middle? We will love to have your help, which means if you're listening to this, you can either, you know, you can comment in the show notes, or you can hit me up via text. You can do whatever you want. You can hit up twos and social media.

It doesn't matter. We're looking for a couple spots to see if our shenanigans will play out in a live crowd setting. And we don't care if 10 people show up or 500 show up. Honestly, we don't care. We don't care if it goes well or not. We're going to get up there. We're going to have fun. You guys are going to have fun.

And maybe we're going to look like jackasses or maybe it's going to be awesome. But either way, it's going to be entertaining either because of us or in spite of us, right? That's right. Yeah, I have no idea what this is going to turn out to. But me and two has been talking about it now for a little bit of. up, hey, maybe we should do a live show. What do you think that would look like? I'm not sure.

It might be terrible. But we're going to try it anyways. And why not try it three different times in a row so we can kind of figure out if it has anything there? And we'd love to come where you want us to be. So if you got ideas, hit us up. We're open to suggestions. We're open to a unique spot.

If anyone out there is like, man, I'd love to just sponsor that. We're looking for somebody to be the major sponsor. Why not? And if you want to be that person, great. And we'll have some fun. Anything else, too's? I think you just hit all the points, really. Okay.

Well, then, without further ado. I would say that we're not, we're not dead set on even what kind of a venue we want. If it ends up being a bar or town hall or somewhere in between or whatever else, there's not really any wrong answers. And in fact, I think it would probably be good if, if we,

I think it would be good if we had, you know, a few different. things. We ended up just trying out a few different types of venues even within the different communities. That's, that's it. I'd just like to point out that, you know, tough decision coming in from Sean Rue. Hey, I'm just saying, Tuesday is clicking it off as fast as I can get it there. Anyways, here we go. Okay. Let's get on to the show, shall we? As if flying wasn't shitty enough already. Yeah. Okay. A Delta flight from Atlanta to Barcelona was forced to turn around and make an emergency

landing after a passenger had diarrhea all the way through the plane. The Airbus A350 aircraft was two hours into a transatlantic flight from Georgia to Spain on Friday, when the pilot asked to come back because of a fecal fiasco. And here is, if you can read that off, it says, divert to Atlanta passenger diarrhea all over. Yeah, this is, I don't know, man. Oh, man. Can you imagine being on that plane in that? happening. Could you like there's been some times where I've really had to go. I was flying back from

Cancun and there was just turbulence like the whole damn way and with maybe like an hour to go before we land. And this is a week in Mexico. So my guts are all over the place, right? Sure. And I'm, I'm on a window seat and I'm just squirming. And then like I'm, I'm wondering if I just get up and be like, look, do you guys want to deal with the alternative? I got to go to the bathroom, right? And then finally the light goes off.

And I was like, okay, guys, like I've worn them ahead of time. Like the second this light goes off, I'm getting up and I need you guys to work with me because I need to move quickly. Now, it was this little old lady. And she was not moving quickly. she was there with presumably her son who was probably in his 40s or 50s kind of thing.

So this this wasn't like a fast acting group. And yeah, like I didn't shove an old lady out of the way, but I very nearly did. And I think that my pants were down and I was already going before the door had shut, let alone my butt was on the seat. It was the closest photo finish I've ever

had. So I've got a bit of sympathy for what happened here because you never know. Like maybe they were just, maybe they were stuck, you know, beside one of those people that has to get the seatbelt extension and then they just couldn't get out and then you can just imagine the level of panic. Out of the way. Out of the way.

Oh my God. Like, here's the thing is like if you shat yourself all over the cabin like presumably you went to the front and then those those bathrooms were full and you're waiting and then you're like

you can't wait anymore and then you'll never fly again you'll be terrorized you'll never fly again well or or you're just gonna like just gulp a modium beforehand or something like that

and they'll be like you'll try and take a big Costco size jug in with you and they'll be like sir you can't carry a liquid that large you be like look trust me you want me to bring this on the flight do you want me to bring up

the air Canada the puking? Yes. The fact that these two events happened within a couple days of each other? Okay, here's the second one. Here's the second one. And of course, this is Canada doing Canada, okay? Eric Canada says it's apologizing for customers after passengers' seats were reportedly soiled

with vomit on a flight from Las Vegas to Montreal. A woman who says She came out on the same day these two articles. A woman who says she was a passenger on the August 26th flight wrote in a social media post the planes crew placed coffee grinds in the seat pouch and sprayed perfumed to mass the smell of vomit prior to boarding the flight

from Las Vegas took Montreal, clocks in at almost four and a half hours. Quoted, when the clearly upset passenger tried to explain to the flight attendant that the seat and seat belt were wet and there was still visible vomit residue in the area. The flight attendant was very apologetic, but explained that the flight was full and there was nothing they could do, wrote Benson on Tuesday, August 29th. She says the passengers asked for a supervisor who came shortly after. The supervisor came and just reiterated the same thing. We're sorry, we've cleaned the best we can.

There's nowhere else to put you. You're just going to have to sit in it, she told CTV. and she's like, we cannot sit and vomit for five hours. Fair. Fair. Well, then it went on to say, oh, damn it. The pilot came back.

Come on, where did I put it? The pilot came back after all this, so they laid a bunch of blankets over it. Eventually, Benson says, the passengers asked for blankets to cover their seats for the flight, which they received along with wipes and more sick bags. When they got settled in, according to Benson, the pilot approached them and asked them to leave. He said, very calmly,

and just bent down at eye level and said, you guys can leave the plane right now on your own, or I will call security, and they will escort you off this plane, alleged Benson. Adding the pilot said they could be added to a no-fly list if security had to get involved. Next thing we know, security comes down the aisle and escorts the two ladies off the plane.

See, this is good. When somebody is trying to be a dick, you can come away quietly or things can get messy, and they're very obviously in the wrong. wrong. You just be like, well, I'm sorry you feel that way. Let's see how fucking messy it gets, because I'm already covered in vomit. So yeah, bring security. Actually, you know what? If you could just announce on the plane that we're being kicked off, that were being added to a no-fly list, and exactly why we're being added to a no-fly list, I'd really appreciate that. Right. That's because

it's the same thing like James Lindsay was saying with the communist, where they just hate being shown what they, when they hate when people are shown what they actually are. And it's the same thing with these pin-dick power-hungry dick faces. Oh, man. Shit and puke on a plane. I'm tired of this shit on this motherfucking plane. Dairy cartel attacks Kiwi milk. The milk mafia is up to it again, folks.

New Zealand has won its trade dispute with Canada over access for dairy products under the comprehensive and progressive agreement for trans-Pacific partnership. And if you care to hear the acronym, CPPP, Free Trade Agreement. Anyways, under the agreement, New Zealand, gained better access for dairy products in the Canadian market but complained that Canada was manipulating quotas to block exporters. An independent panel has ruled that dairy quotas were improperly used to keep out dairy exports and protect its powerful domestic industry. I might also point out there was a CTV article, or CBC, you can't remember now,

Because I was like, what the heck? No, Globe and Mail. I'm like, what the heck does he even mean? Because it literally said the complete opposite of what I just read to you, that Canada had won the debate. And I was like, I don't know what's going on. The main issue that New Zealand was taking them to task over was this quote of manipulation. But the three person panel turned down by a two to one majority,

two lesser aspects of the New Zealand complaint. Okay. So, so they had the big. complaint and then they had two little complaints and so New Zealand won the big one but they lost the two little ones and so Canadian media says that Canada says they won and nobody ever fucking questions it because they've been bought and paid for well I tell you what you had me confused I was saying to twos before we started I'm like I'm so confused because one article clearly states New Zealand has won and one article clearly states

clearly states a Canada's one, and I'm like, something doesn't add up here. But the New Zealand one has a lot more detail in it. It's true. And that's where you actually go through and you read. You're like, okay, well, yeah, I could see how if you were trying to spin things a certain way, you could probably just ignore the big part. You never do that. Hey, we want these little ones.

They don't spin anything. No, no. So that's exactly it, right? if you see two conflicting articles, generally speaking, the one that has more detail is probably correct. And if it's written in Canada,

chances are... It's bullshit. Yeah. Chances are it's the kind of stuff that went all the way up and down that fucking plane. Cancel culture takes a shot at its greatest foe.

This is funny, because I didn't know that you were going to do the last video episodes today. I didn't know I was going to do a second episode on a Monday. What a ridiculous thing to do. Now you're doing three episodes.

Now I'm doing three episodes. It says, Take Back Alberta, a socially conservative anti-mandate movement born during the pandemic that takes credit for deposing Jason Kenney as Premier last year, and installing Smith is out to make waves again this time at the United Conservative Party annual general meeting in November. It would be an understatement to say, take back Alberta's founder, David Parker, court's controversy and attention. This week alone, he posted a tweet calling Toronto festering cancerous wound on the otherwise. beautiful nation of Canada and further declared that Alberta will separate from Canada if Ottawa enforces its climate policies if you don't believe that is possible just watch us closer to home he has attacked the UCP's current president

Cynthia Moore as a power-hungry tyrant who must be removed more announced this week she would not run for re-election so and then it went on to say one last little thing here Parker is a social conservative who thinks women should choose childbearing overwork the state should not teach sex education in school and modern society is anti-human. Top of mind for him most recently is the fight over gender pronouns in which the provinces of Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, have mandated that parents are informed

if children want to use alternative pronouns in school. Now, I just, David Parker's pretty good. One thing I take issue with, though, is him taking credit for Jason Kenney's fall from grace. Let's be really clear. Jason Kenny is the reason why Jason Kenny isn't premium. year right now. But everything else is fine.

I would agree 100% with that. I would also say, though, take back Alberta did a very good job at getting the grassroots movement going and giving them some like, I don't know if I, you know, I don't know how many rooms I walked into where I'd have someone approached me saying, have you been one of his meetings yet? They're like, no, actually, I haven't. Actually, I just gave him shit about why is Lloyd Minster never, you know, dawned on him to come.

He said he doesn't have any kind of captain. Yeah, yeah, there's nobody here worthy of that. I'm not going to jump on that one. I'm kidding. Anyways, interesting, though, because this brings us up to what's happened now, right, with one of the events he's trying to pull off, him and Drew Weatherhead. Two speaker speaking events featuring Dr. James Lindsay, and if you were watching the podcast, he was on today,

author of cynical theories, how activist scholarship made everything about race, gender and identity and why this harms everybody have been deplatformed from ticketing site Eventbright. The Protect Our Kids Speaking Events, I'll say that again, the Protect Our Kids Speaking Events are planned for October 2nd and Eminton, October 3rd in Calgary, and

quoted, we have determined that your event is not permitted on the Ventbright platform as it violates our community guidelines in terms of service. Eventbrite Trust and Safety wrote in a letter. As a result, your event has been unpublished. Yeah, so the funny thing

about all this is, is that it's the kind of situation where the far left's crazy people have decided that this guy says bad things. And anybody who's looking at arm's length is too scared to actually look into it and say, okay, well, you know, what's he saying that's so crazy? What's he saying that's so far out there? You didn't get into the papers he published, which is kind of a little bit too bad. I would like to have them back on in fairness so that I could ask him about it. I just let it go where it went and went where it went.

And if I get them again, I want to talk about the papers. Anyways, this guy literally wrote multiple papers. I think he had 10 that were. I think it was 12, wasn't it? And 7 got accredited or whatever. Four had been, four had been peer reviewed. Thank you. So they had been published and peer reviewed.

and they were like the craziest things he could come up with. So he did one that was just he took a translated version of MindConf and replaced Jews with men or something like that. And then he did another one that talked about rape culture with dogs in dog parks and how one dog had shit on another dog's face and how you needed to take the same approach to, training dogs and apply it towards getting men away from rape culture. And that actually won him an award before everybody realized that he was just making it up and

point out how stupid they are. So this is how fun and interesting this guy is. He's incredibly smart. He probably has to dumb things down when he talks to Jordan Peterson. This is where this guy's at. And he's coming to Calgary and Edmonton in a few weeks. October 2nd, 3rd, you can get tickets at Take Back, Alberta, dot CA, I think it's dot CA.

Anyways, I, uh, I, it's funny because I literally interviewed him last week, all right? And we talked about, you know, it sounds like one of your events got canceled, but they're finding a new spa. Yeah, nothing, you know, like, I didn't know. And then, over the course of the weekend, both event sites done. Then event bright, done. And you're like, well, now I, as I said today, I'm like, well, now I just got to go. Like, I'm, I'm going to both shows now.

I'm like, I'm, I'm going to go see what this guy has to say, because I, I, I, I, I, I've got to sit with him for a couple hours, which is great. But now I'm like, what is so extreme that this guy's talking about? Well, here's the thing. They're going to shut him out of Alberta. I don't think so. He's not saying anything extreme. And if you're thinking about going, here's how I would think about it is I would say,

if the people you hate don't want you to hear a really smart person talk about the things that they're doing, that's the kind of thing that should pique your interest. Well, we'll add a little, uh, Tuesday doesn't know this. but I got a couple of us going to going to meet up before the Calgary show for maybe supper or a couple of festive drinks shall you say so if you're interested in coming and supporting the event text me text me your number and or text me your name and number and we'll make sure that we get you wherever we're going and twos is coming he just doesn't realize it yet and Tanya McWilliams is gonna well actually it's

Tanya McWilliams, Clemens. Anyways, sorry, Tanya. I'm trying to rattle off your name and get it right. But we're going to try and get together with a group of us in Calgary. And I would throw out, I'm going to be in Eminton, too. So if somebody wants to meet up all the power to you, but I just figure, like, why not support this? At this point, I'm like, they're trying to shut this motherfucker down.

It's like, let's keep her going here and support the boys. And if we can have a little fun as the Tuesday mashup, I'm going to be up in Calgary. Tews is coming. We could probably get together for a couple of festive. celebratory you know beverages beforehand and then go to a show that's yeah and then and then live stream the Manitoba election a little bit drunk well I mean isn't that the only way to understand it anyways maybe I don't know maybe beverages

in just saying interesting India Justin and the travel of doom one of two's best headlines I think to date it's been a trying several summer for the Liberals 20-point lead in Atlanta, Canada evaporated. Team Trudeau is polling at its lowest level ever. The latest abacus data survey shows conservative leader of Pierre Poliath's personal approval numbers and now outweigh his negatives. He did obtain a majority government if an election were held today. And then here's a couple other things in this article.

They are frustrated at the way the prime minister treats his caucus. This is talking about MPs. They recount how he frequently. monopolizes caucus meetings with talking points, leaving little time for members' input. Not that they feel he values what they think. This is a prime minister who never likes to even allow you to finish your sentence in a national caucus, expressed one MP. If you're going to say something he's not going to like, he always cuts you off. Why should I listen to you, folks, said another MP mimicking Trudeau. You're all no-nothings and coattail candidates.

Yeah, I had that exact bit highlighted. Isn't that, like, isn't that just, just like we're... Yep. Some people are really disillusioned. Offered another MPs really, really disillusioned. Some MPs said that over their entire careers, the PMO had never spent as much time listening to them as I had in my 30-minute calls with them. Yeah, like the liberal party is imploding right now.

Yes. And you hate to see bad things happen to good people. I tell you what, though, it's funny. Like, they're imploding. and they've become absolute classless jerks in it. You had Gilbal and Rodriguez crashing the conservative convention, which I think is unheard of in Canadian politics. I don't know of any precedent where that has happened before.

Like these, they have been absolute comic book 80s movie villains for the past eight years, suppressing the rebels and, you know, trampling on people's rights and their, and they're elderly. And you've got them just doing everything they can to make things worse at their own personal benefit for their own personal benefit. And then at the end of the movie, when it's all said and done and the bad guy's lost and he's on his knees begging for his life. can't even die with dignity.

That's where the liberals are at right now. And then you got, I just pulled up the tweet with, uh, uh, Modi from India, you know, met PM Justin Trudeau on the sidelines of the G20 summit. So they were talking about how all, all the leaders are getting their pictures in like, you know, the G20 summit and everything, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he pulled them off to a side room because, well, there's a whole bunch. There was, there was a long video. We should almost show the entire video twos.

It was, it was amazing. It was Indian news media, eviscerating him. Eviscating Trudeau. Eviscerating him for almost 10 straight minutes. Now, to be totally fair, I think there was a little bit of agenda pushing in it. They weren't totally honest in a couple parts, but they weren't very far from the truth. They were very far from the truth. But the best part of it, though, here's the thing is you got people in India talking about it.

And one of them said, this gets my goat, which I'm pretty sure is a big fucking deal in India. Yeah, that's like Canadians saying, listen here, pal. Man, I hate being called pal or bud. And I shouldn't have said that because now I'm sure the text line for the rest of time will be, hey, pal, how's it going? Really? Really, you got a thing against Bud? I do.

light. Yeah, well, fair. Yeah, you know, hey, what's going on, but? It's like, you know, Dane Cook used to have a joke about that once upon a time. Oh, yeah, and then. Back and forth. Like, calls him chief.

When somebody's a chief, but he's not a chief. But he's not a chief. And it's like, well, maybe he means chef or whatever. I remember that. All right. You're totally going to guess how much work our federal consumer watchdog is done in five years. And we're going to pull up the tweet here. It says five years, 182.

staff $37 million budget and not one, not one of the 27,300,000 complaints were looked into. The agency was set up by the Trudeau government to protect the rights of banking customers clearly doing as intended. That was Alex Pearson. The next, what she's quoting is Blacklocks reporter. We got a lot of time for Blacklocks here. And it said documents. Federal Consumer Watchdog never followed up on any of the 27,3, 323 complaints in five years,

Not one. Agencies 285,000 per year, Commissioner Judith Robertson refused to comment. Have a nice day. I don't even know where to go with this. This is exactly what you would expect from the exact government that you would expect. $37 million a year for five years. They've accomplished exactly nothing. This is probably the same group of people that is doing the tree planting.

You remember we were talking about it a year ago, how they'd spent like $4 million and hadn't planted a single tree yet. this is the exact same, hey, we've got a consumer watchdog. Okay, cool, but how much work have they done? I just want to be the Tuesday mashup watchdog. Can we get some of that money? Like, I mean, honestly, I feel like the taxpayer who's listening right now would gladly fork over a bit of their tax money to us Yahoo's to do as much work as they've been doing.

Honestly, like even if we got to a point where we were looking at one in every 27,000 complaints. We'd be better than them. We would be doing literally, mathematically, infinitely better than this group. As it is right now. Shit on who? Shit hogs.

Bit dirty shit hogs. Yeah, my goodness. It's just you know, every day, every week we come back to a new mashup and there's this new level of insanity and we just keep hitting it. Here we go. Manitoba election is getting tight and if you're watching you can see the maps of Manitoba Winnipeg Brandon and

Morton Winkler gets its own little cute little spot on it. I don't know where Morton Winkler is. Yeah anyways, Manitoba election model update. Progressive Conservatives at 44.3% shows that they're at 29 seats down seven. New Democrats, 42.3%, 27 seats up plus nine and the liberals at 10.5% one seat down two. So there you go. That's the updated look at Manitoba. Obviously, October 3rd is election night there. And Tuesday and I, you know, had been talking a lot about what we're going to do with this,

either just bringing it up and keeping it kind of in some people's minds that Manitoba is on, you know, election within less, well, less than a month away Tuesday. Well, yeah, and it just so happens that it's the same night that James Lindsay's in Calgary. So wouldn't it be cool if we could line all of it up the same night? I don't know if it's going to be possible or not. But it would be nice if it was because also they're an hour ahead of us. So, you know, while we were waiting for the votes to start coming in around like 9.30. Me and twos are in the audience list in James Lindsay doing Conler commentating on the Manitoba election.

And then after in the back room while we're having a beer in the green room with James Lindsay, we just have them hop on and start talking about Manitoba election. You know, it's not the worst idea. Now, here's the thing, though, is you look at that map and now compare it to this map, this was Saskatchewan's last election. Does it look familiar at all? Does it look comparable at all to Alberta's election? Right?

That is interesting, isn't it? Like, this is Alberta. Yeah. You've got just the outlaw. and then the urban. Okay. Saskatchewan. Outliers, urban.

And then go back to your Manitoba, the outliers and the urban. There's some weird demographics. I don't know if maybe we should spend some time talking about the urban world divide at some point, Sean. But man, would I ever love to get a solution for it?

Well, that was January this year. Vance, Vance Crow, Quick Dick, MacDick, and... Stephen Barber. Oh, yeah, thank you. Stephen Barber. Don't know why that can spit out anyways. Yeah, I mean, everybody's staring at that. That's, I mean, different problems for different, you know,

cities got different problems than the rural does. That's for sure, right? Yeah. But, I mean, obviously, there's a whole larger discussion to be had there, and we've, you know, you just got to go back on the podcast. I released all the audio for. that night and that was an interesting discussion and the only thing i haven't done in return is had a bunch of urban folks on to give their views on it and maybe that's something that

needs to happen it's hard to find one that isn't just a a douche about it though right like if somebody because here's like there's there's lots of great people who live in cities i've never many but i'm sure there are uh but you know it's someone who could have a de-revee talk conversation about it without coming across incredibly aloof would probably be a little bit difficult right because I feel like if you had say Nenshi on here to talk about how good cities are but maybe maybe maybe I probably just sound like an asshole maybe Ninchie needs to be on a couple different shows and and people just hear how that you know like I don't know to me I've been listening a little bit more to just some of the stuff that

Jesperson's been putting out with Charles Adler. Really? Yeah. Are you that fucking bored? No, I like punishing myself, though. I like, it's tough. I force myself to listen to it, though. I don't even know what you gain from that, to be honest.

I just... Oh, look at it. Before I read this comment, think about it. Jesperson is in Emmetton. We all stare at Eminton. We go, what the hell is going on in there? Then you turn on Jesperson, you're like, Well, I mean, there's some things in there where you're like, he's speaking to his people.

Well, he's speaking to his people. That's what I mean. But none of what he says stands up to any scrutiny or critical. All I'm saying is by listening to it, he's speaking to his people. I can't understand what they're thinking. But if he's talking the way he's talking, I get a feel for what he's trying to convey to the people so that they go, you're doing a great job. Oh, man, they're just loving it. He's loving you, and he's having Charles Adler on all the flipping time to.

This isn't like a one-off. He's having them on like, it must be every week. Like a mashup. I'm like, interesting. Yeah, kind of. It's like, hmm, that's interesting. And Charles Adler, you know, I listened to him as a kid. So I was throwing it out to Charles.

So come on the podcast. I'd love to sit and hear your story and see why you think. And maybe there's some things in there that would help. No response. I don't know if he's seen it. But I don't know. I guess we'll wait and see. That's at least a few weeks ago now.

I'm at this point. Neither of them seems really interested in having honest conversations about things. And so that's that's kind of where they lose me. Well, I, a guy's got to still keep trying on my side. I'm still trying. Oh, for sure. Yeah. That's one thing I really like about you is that you'll have people on just to hear their side of things.

Okay. Here's what Debbie Nordell said. Cities are all left. Rule is right. Cities have most of the government employees, plus Trudeau has been throwing money at the cities and universities. Then Jamie Ingram says in Lethbridge and the area and area, the divide is real. So, you know, actually, Lethbridge might be an interesting case study, to be honest. Like, it is a divide.

Anyways, yeah, that's not a bad thought. Well, it's a small city, and so you're kind of, you're walking that line. Go to the one side of Lethbridge and do the Tuesdays May mashup live and just get a sold-out place and then go to, go to the next side and just get booed. And just get, yeah, rotten tomatoes thrown at you. A ship in harbor is safe unless it's Canada. Buckle up, folks. This is going to take me a little bit.

The federal government paid $520,000 to a Nova Scotia shipyard owner to store a dead Coast Guard ship. The same shipyard owner being sued by the government for negligence because it was repairing the vessel when it was ruined by Vandals five years earlier. Actually, I don't know if I need to say much more than that. In November 2018, workers at the Canadian Maritime Engineering Sambro, Nova Scotia shipwriters arrived at work to find a shocking scene, the Corporal McLaren, a five-year-old hero-class Canadian Coast Guard ship,

was being refit by the company, sat partially capsized and submerged in the frigid waters of Sambrough Harbor, the main and secondary support cables that meant to hold it upright, hanging loosely off the side vessel. Halifax Police quickly determine the damage was likely caused by Vandals, who walked onto the site when had no. which had no fencing, according to reports by global news and cut the support cables. Nearly one year after the vandalism, public service procurement Canada, cancelled the repair contract with CME and eventually ferried the CCGS Corporal McLaren

to the nearby Bedford Institute of Orchanography in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. But by 2022, the bio needed the dead ship out of its yard due to space requirements and pending upgrades. According to the procurement documents from PSPC, the Coastal Guard not, the Coast Guard had not decided if it were repair or salvage what remained of the ship. So PSPC put out on public tender for a dry docking and storage of the Corporal McLaren for at least one year. On July 26th, the department awarded the $503,000 contract to Pickto shipyard owned by CME. You keep it up yet, folks, the company, the same company that owns the Samro site where the vessel was damaged in the first place, The value of the contract was later increased to $520,000.

According to two procurement experts, the fact the government is once again entrusting the ship to the owner of the shipyard where it was suffered, 14 million damages, ranges for ironic and silly. I can safely tell you, you do not need to be a shipping expert, a procurement expert, to know that is absolutely ridiculous and quite comical. On the bright side, though, it's not like it could get more rectally at this point. What really surprised me, though, is that, so you've got a half a million dollar contract for one year of storage. Okay. The median income for an individual in Nova Scotia in 2020 was $36,400. Okay.

So if you spent, if, and this was for $520,000, if you spent $480,000. getting that ship, like let's just say you, you happen to be on the ocean. And you spent $480,000 hauling that up onto your beach. You would, and then you just watched it. You just sat there on the front porch in your rocking chair with a shotgun beside you, an old blue scratch in his head. You could do that. And you'd still be making more money in Nova Scotia than most people.

All you have to just sit there, just watch. it. That's it. There's no creativity. Like, why would you not just be like, look, if you're going to give me a half million dollars, I'll fucking figure it out. Once again, I feel like me and two should be really like investing some time and effort into some of these government contracts. They didn't even consider anybody in Alberta and Saskatchewan for this, which I think is just blatant racism. Can you imagine driving on to the Newman farm and they're being. a giant ship there and be like, what the hell is this? We're just safekeeping.

Just storing it. How the hell did you get here? We own a trucking company. We just moved across. We got the right permits. It costs $100 grand. What are you doing? Just keeping us safe. 400 grand later. You know. Yeah. We're going to spend another 100 grand shipping it back again.

And in the meantime, we're making $1,000 a day, every day, Easter and Christmas included to just look at nothing happening to it. Oh, my God. Oh, man. Just love our country. Love it so much. Great wall gets a great shortcut. China's Great Wall has been pierced by Genghis Khan, the Manchus, and now allegedly

a couple of construction workers named Zhang and Wang, who wanted a shortcut. Authorities in China arrested two people for smashing a path through a section of the ancient wall, a cultural icon, and a United Nations protected heritage site. The area of the breach was broken down, sectioned. far from restored segments most Chinese and foreign tourists are familiar with. State media showed a dirt road cut through the wall against a rural landscape

in Yu Yu County hundreds of kilometers west of Beijing and identified the suspects as 38 year old surnamed Zhang and 55 year old woman surnamed Wang. The pair wanted a shorter route for some construction work they were doing in nearby towns the reports said.

Hey, I mean, where better to just, you know, you could just dumped a bunch of dirt over and built a ramp and then cleared it off when you were done. There's so many different ways you could have done this other than destroying a thousand year old achievement in human history, right? I mean, the Mongolians couldn't figure this out, but you just hit it with a wrecking ball. This is, it's a damn shame. Like there was a shoot, I want to say in Afghanistan, but it wasn't a few years ago.

There was a UNESCO heritage site. They got bombed a fucking oblivion during some civil war. And then, you know, you look, you may remember or may not remember another UNESCO World Heritage site, the Nazca lines in Peru. This is what Greenpeace did. This is why Greenpeace is never allowed in Peru ever, ever again, is because they spray painted all of the, these are all little rocks. You can't really tell from this being overhead. but there's just a billion rocks there and they spray painted a bunch of the rocks

and now they're not allowed there because they fucked it all up. A dick move. Dick move. I get the fact that China is asshole. And it kind of makes me wonder maybe if this giant hole in the great wall, maybe that's how the coronavirus got out.

We haven't mentioned the coronavirus on here in like 70 weeks. And somehow Tuesday is going to slide it into a great wall of China joke. Sure. I mean, yeah, sure. Yeah, I'll take it. Okay, waiting for Tuesday,

say something regarding hang out with Wang out. Yeah, because it was Zhang and Wang were the two. Right? Okay, well, it's just, it's funny, though. You can always tell, like even if you're not super familiar with Southeast Asia, you can tell by somebody's name where they're from, right?

Because it seems like everybody from China has a name that you could just substitute in, if you were describing a penis, right? Because it's always wang or dong or something like that, right? Ah, moving on here. Well, no, no, no. But I mean, like, you can push the buttons on a vending machine with your wang, but you can't have a bald eagle person. on your Yamaguchi, right?

University is a place to explore new ideas that are leftists. New York Post article. I wanted to point that out first, okay? Harvard University is officially 23's worst school for free speech. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression released its annual college free speech rankings on Wednesday, which dubbed the state of free speech at the Ivy League school as abysmal.

I'm not totally surprised Sean Stevens, director of the polling and analytics at Fire Toll to the Post. We've done these rankings for years now and Harvard's consistently near the bottom. Despite being the most acclaimed academic institution in the country, Harvard had received a 0.00 point free speech ranking on a 100 point scale, a full 11 points beyond the next worst school. Fire says that a dismal score was generous considering Harvard's actual score was a negative 10.69 according to the calculators. Fire a survey of 55,000 current students from 254 university has also yielded some other staggering results. 56% of students worry about getting canceled for something they say,

and 27% said it's acceptable to use violence to stop campus speech in some circumstances. The number one school, on a side note, for free speech was Michigan Tech University in Houghton, Michigan. The school earned a 78.01 out of 100 possible points. So Dan Mack, my college roommate, if you're listening, because that's where he got his engineering degree from. That's right. It turns out you went to Free Speech Haven. Anyways.

I can call him a gangly guy because he's all about free speech, right? Yeah. And he's kind of a gangly guy. Tall goalie. Anyways. Who knew a tall goalie? A tall goalie. Interesting.

A tall gangly goalie. Tall gangly goalie. That's interesting. Yeah. Because I mean, usually you just want to have somebody who's, you don't really think gangly when you think goalie, right? Like, yeah, they'll have the reach and it's harder to get the angles on them, but they're not typically as fast as people who are just built a little bit more.

Stocky? Not necessarily stocky, but just more compact, right? Like you don't think about the ectomorphs, is it? The gangly ones? Ectomorphs? Yeah, you got endomorphs, ectomorphs, and mesomorphs. So you've got like the basketball player body type,

the accountant body type, and then just the people who walk by a gym and they're absolutely jacked. Those are the mess. Enmorphs are long and lean with little body fat and little muscle. They have a hard time gaining weight. Fashion models and basketball players fit this category.

I had no idea. Tuesday taught me something today, folks. Yeah. And then I always just remember messomorphs because they'll mess you up. because they're the ones that just look like a Ken doll without ever even trying. So maybe we should approach Michigan Tech

about having a Tuesday mashup there because they actually might let us come and do our thing. I don't know if I'm even allowed in the States yet. I mean, I guess I probably am because you went down and came back, but... I think we're allowed. I think we could get there. I'm just saying I don't think Harvard's out on this anytime soon.

And I... Oh, shit. I was going to wear my Harvard T-shirt today, I wonder if they do a poll on Canadian universities. They should. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between a lot of them other than, you know, it'd be interesting, though, wouldn't it? It'd be interesting to see who's the bastion of free speech in Canadian universities.

Okay. Royal Roads is definitely not. Queens is a bunch of douchebags. UFC's probably turning the corner on this. stuff and getting worse every year. They're not, they're not very good to begin with. U of R and U of M are probably the two last half decent ones, if they are.

And then I'm guessing, I'm guessing. I don't know. It'd be interesting. If somebody knows of a study on free speech and Canadian universities and colleges, I'd really like, I'd like to, I'd gladly read that on here because I'd be,

I just guess I'd be curious. Anyways, that's, yep. Okay. finally last one here you never know what you'll find when you renovate while doing renovations on his property a Portuguese man stumbled upon a fossilized sauropod that might be the largest and I did I butcher that oh yeah sorry just just keep going keep going keep going I'm going to jump in the largest dinosaur skeleton ever found in Europe what do you want to what do you want to get on me here all right just the fact that they had to specify that it was fossilized in this article. Right?

And then I love the headline. Portuguese man accidentally finds 82-foot-long dinosaur in his backyard, as opposed to finding it on purpose. Like he was looking for an 81-foot dinosaur, but he found this one instead. 82-foot-long dinosaur, that would have been a pretty cool find, eh? Like, I mean... Yes, very much so. I would love to find something like that. and how big is his yard?

Oh, is it kind of big? I don't know if it, you know, is it going over to somebody else's yard a little bit? Like, where does he live now? Because if this is the biggest dinosaur ever found in Europe, I feel like they've probably just completely shut his entire house down and he's just dealing with this shit all the time and they probably had to knock out a few walls and whatever else.

And, like, so does, I don't know, I'm guessing London's going to steal it because they steal all the other historical artifacts, right? So are they just putting them up at a hotel until they get this fucker dug out? And then where are you going to find all the backfill for it? Who knows? Who knows, twos?

Only, let's get Tunes over to Europe so he can report on it. I had so many logistical questions regarding this. Can you imagine Tews that shows up, just Tews here live from the Tuesday MASH, reporting on this 82-foot-long dinosaur, this fossilized, impressive thing for it to be. Anyways, we're just wondering if we could find out where this is being shipped and what it is, what it is, and twos is just right in there. I think it would be fantastic.

If it's in Portugal, why did they measure it? You know, when we get government funding and they give us like a billion dollars to cover things, these are the things we will do. We will send twos on these, these missions that I know all the listeners want. They want to see twos interact with a Portuguese farmer and an 82-foot-long, dinosaur. It never said he was a farmer. Right, it didn't. I added that in my brain. I'm picturing this guy just living in a town in Portugal and then this taking up like five people's yards, right? But yeah, I think I think this would be great. If we got a billion government dollars and then I went over to Portugal and I just

started interviewing this guy, I was like, so how do you feel about this? And he's just, I be it a babbabi babitab and a boobit. Because apparently he's Italian now. Right. And then we just go back and forth with complete language barrier. And then we just, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Basically, I got to get on a plane. That'll do it for mashup 72, folks.

We do have September 20th here in Lloyd Minster. For the kids' sake is doing the one million March for kids. September 20th, everywhere in Canada. Everywhere in Canada. Fair enough. Fair enough. It's happening everywhere in Canada. But if you're around the Lloydminster area, we are doing that. This is a community spot twos. So it is happening all across Canada. If you're not in Lloyd, fair enough. If you are in Lloyd, 10 a.m. at City Hall. And the March starts at 11 a.m. So if you want to come join, certainly would love to have everybody out. It's a peaceful march, nothing too crazy. Bring your kids. Don't bring your kids.

whatever you want to do. But it's a family event, so you're welcome to bring kids and everything else. We got Tanner Nadei is going to be speaking a little bit. Nice. And some others. So it should be... You should get Tanner Applegate up there, too.

Tanner Applegate, yeah. I don't think Tanner Applegate believes in protesting, believe it or not. I could be wrong. I don't think he does either, but, man, every time that guy talks, it's awesome. Yes, it is.

Well, it's... Oh, here you go. Trisha, well, I'm glad to know the Ruth. Ruse, as we sit here at the end of this, who won the bed? Anyways, search Facebook, 1 million March for Children for Locations across Canada. That's a good point. I'm just pointing out that here in Lloyd Minster, we are doing it 10 a.m. You can show up 11 a.m. is the March.

We'd love to have everybody here and enjoy it. We've got some live music at the end. Should be interesting. Oh, nice. Yeah, anyways. Shout out to anyone else. Well, first off, show up to Slim for hooking us up with the VIP table. That was super cool.

And if there's anyone else wanting their event talked about, me and twos would love to, if that isn't the most Canadian, if that isn't the most Canadian, that's that's bullshit. Now me and twos are going to blow us. It says we've declared to draw, you both get something. Anyways. Now twos is coming over. Thank you guys. Yes.

Now Tuesdays is coming over to the house for stakes is probably what's happening. Either way, it doesn't matter. Thank you to everybody for tuning in. If you want to get your event tossed in at the end, make sure you let us know because we'd love to talk about what you have going on in your community, et cetera. If it's something that really pulls us there, who knows, maybe me and twos can even show up.

And finally, Mashup 72 brought to you by the lovely family of RU Quarter Circle Farms. That's all we got. We'll catch up to you next week, folks. Thanks very much. Thank you.
