micromanagers. There's people who will just watch you do whatever you're doing and get right in there without actually helping, but just telling you what it is that they want done, even if you're in the process of doing it. Don't tell me how to do my job, and I won't tell you how to watch me do my job. You know, I think I'm getting soft at Mashup 73.

I haven't held you off of doing a rant, and like, I don't know how long. We just keep talking over the intro song. You know? And for some reason, never running out of stuff to rant about. I guess so. I just, at this point, I'm like, Sean, some point just going to, like, say we're going to listen to the music again? I don't know.

I don't know. It's been a nice little, I don't even, do we even call that out a rant? I think he said, like, three sentences. I don't think it's a rant. It's more of a statement. Oh. You made a two's statement, not a two's rant. So should I be going a little bit more in depth in these?

Like, rather than just. hitting it hard fast, being succinct and getting my point across. I think so. I belabor it a little bit. I kind of want you to lay out for a while. Yes, for like 40 seconds. Okay. All right.

That's what I'm kind of thinking. Like, if I'm going to sit here and listen to you, at least make your point. I don't know. I did make the point. Yeah, you got to lead me up, you know. Can't rush to it. You got a little foreplay. Like, just come on.

Let's see where we're going. Yeah, you just want me to. All right. Okay. I got you. Mashup 73. 73 who's 73

Sean I said that's a good question who's 73 you said you were going to do this and you didn't play the song again I got another rant famous

NHLers no worries who wore number 73 this is why I don't know who 73 was Tyler the Tofoli which I mean obviously I know who that is but Pavel Kubina Brendan Gallagher

Jack Johnson. Oh, yeah, Jack Johnson. Like, that's who wore 73. That's in one word, hugh. Anyways, there's some Tofoli fans out there, I'm sure, named Flames. Anyways, other than that, it's like

there isn't a whole lot just sitting there. Pavel Kabina, 73. Yeah, I think somebody meant to put beret and accidentally just cat came across the keyboard. Also, he was number nine, so it doesn't really work on any level. mashup 73 brought to you by infinity leasing sir they're back again i knew you were going to do this

no no no affinity leasing hey all right you you do affinity affinity okay it's it's not a big number sean it's you know affinity leasing affinity leasing affinity all right so affinity anyway not infinity affinity affinity infinity. One second. Affinity, infinity. So here's something cool about them that sets them apart is that they're not just people who just say, okay, here's some money, go make us some money, right?

You're going to make some money, we're going to make some money, everybody makes some money. Just fuck off. I wrote you a check. They're business partners, right? So for example, Colleen asked us to talk about how the CBO loan repayment thing is coming up soon.

And if you don't get in within a certain window, there's a, there's a, um, you basically just have to repay it all. And there's an extension, but it's not without slightly lesser penalties, right? And so, I mean, it's, it's a great opportunity. If you happen to fall underneath this and you're wondering how you can pay it back, well, here's an opportunity, right? Where if they've got something to, if you've got some kind of capital, working capital that you can put against the loan, you can get enough to repay the SBA, and then you get all the benefits of having done it

without actually having to follow through with it because there's so much in, well, Canadian and American accounting that's just shell games and moving stuff around from one pocket to the other. And it's nice to have people on your side who know how to do that and who care enough to actually.

help you succeed. 100% agree. 100% agree. How can people find them, twos? Well, they can go to infinity leasing dot com, I think it is.

They could reach out to Colleen. It is infinity. Motherfucker, it's not affinity. It's infinity. Thank you. Thank you. I've been waiting. I've been slow playing.

You know, when you have a good poker hand, and you're just like, oh, this motherfucker wants to call me on pocket Aces, that's fine. It is infinity leasing.com. I'm so glad he had to say it at the end, folks,

you know? Here's where it gets better, okay? Oh, this is what gets better. Because you're going to say that you're going to get it right doing your ad read

and therefore it's going to be automatically better. Do I even need to say it, folks? Do I even need to say anything? What the hell was I thinking of? What's credit union maybe? You know? Oh. I just,

this is great. But here's better, okay? Because everybody, so I was walking around today. It's, it's Monday. And I just doubled and tripled down on it, too. You did.

And, you know, everybody knows we record on Monday nights. So anyways, it's, it's Tuesday to most people, you know? Mm-hmm. And I'm just going to go back here because this is the best, okay?

We had an increase on Facebook followers, today so I think we can declare you as the official winner that's Trisha row you're welcome twos oh oh how about that looks like maybe I kind of know what I'm doing I don't know I don't know I got my doubts I can send you I can send you the text I can send it to you if you'd like oh no no that's that's fine so you just your other phone you just change but don't feel bad quick screens but don't feel bad We're going to give you and twos a prize because you both did great. Yours will be bigger.

Your winning prize will be bigger than twos. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Uh-huh. And so you didn't send this to me ahead of time. You just figured you would wait to drop. I certainly did not because you want to know what? People have been waiting. They've been waiting week after week just to see what was going to happen.

And I was just like, you know. All right. I guess we're even now then. So it's one one. 73 bloody weeks of this folks and twos usually rides me all over the place that sounded terrible and now you got and now i finally double victory thank you yes and you walked right into it twice which is like perfect i'm like this guy i literally have two aces on the board and two of my hand he's still going to call me all right you keep pushing in i'll keep uh yeah here we go okay all right

let's let's move along shall we move along okay i can't wait for the two that giant tea bones He's sitting. Can you just, can you just restart the song? I feel like I just kind of stuttered a little bit back there. We should probably just go fresh from the start, starting like right now. Do you really want to start back again? No. But kind of.

Okay. A couple of hostkeeping things before we get rolling. We are doing mashup live October 24, 25, 26. The one place we have locked in is Lumsden, correct? Yes. And Sean and I are still fighting about what the other two are going to be. destinations here here here's yes and here's here's some of the suggestions okay Humboldt's been a suggestion Manitoba's been a suggestion southern

Alberta's been a suggestion Lloyd's been a suggestion Irma's been a suggestion if I've missed anyone oh yes that's correct so there's there's some places being thrown out right now and if you got if you're like man you should come here or if you came here I would go hit us up in the and Moose Jaw was a backup suggestion Moose Joe was a Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yeah.

So there's a few been thrown out. And so we're going to finalize this week, twos? Is that fair? So we're going to finalize this week. So if you have any input on it, hit us up, social media, or shoot it in a text. Either way, then we can factor it in. Speak now or forever hold your penis. Anything else?

Anything else before we get wrong? Sean's new digs. What happened to the back wall? Oh. So. So, well, I just was bugging Jack earlier today. I said you're kind of slowly becoming part of the show. He goes, when you're in studio, your background is this.

And when you go live, your background is something else. He goes, why do you do that? I'm like, man, you're really paying attention. Okay, this is why. And he goes, can we just shoot it from the same shot? I said, sure. So now I'm sitting in the same spot for all podcasts. It's a wild idea, folks.

My background is now this. Okay. So the squares are on the other wall? Correct. I'm like right there. All right. And how many of them can we pan over and see them real quick? No, because I'll end up kicking my crap off.

Okay. Or is it because a bunch of them are falling off again? No, no, no. All right. Sean, can you just tell the listeners real quick, the viewers, exactly why some of them were falling off a few weeks ago and why you didn't want to show everyone? everybody a few weeks ago?

Oh, because I bought them off Amazon and what? What would you like to say to? I would like you to discuss the adhesives you used. Okay, so for those of you who don't know, Sean seems a little bit reticent. I could probably guess why. So Sean used as much double-sided tape as he could find, and then he goes to Walmart, and they're all out of double-sided tape. And so he gets a bunch of nipple tape that he just had lying around.

I had truck prodigna coming into town. You want to put aces on your boobies. And I wanted to make sure that I literally had this all done. So I stayed up to like two in the bloody morning, okay? And I run out of double-sided 3M tape. I go to Walmart and the ladies like... Boob tape. Boob tape.

And I'm like, boob tape. I'm like, well, I'm strong enough to hold on to a lady's, you know, make sure nothing pops out. It's got to be good. And then my wife said to me, as they're all falling off, she's like, well, you realize they don't want them to stay there. They're forever, right? And I'm like, right, I kind of dropped the ball on that one. So Mel was laughing at me because she's like, that tape's only good for, you know, a couple,

seven hours, let's say. And then it's going to slowly, like, wear off. And I'm like, that actually makes a ton of sense. But it was perfect for you because you ended up looking like a boob. And you sound like a boob. Hey, we're quite the pair. Okay. Let's get this thing rolling along, shall we?

Oh, man, here we go. Oh, yeah, go ahead. SAS party scared into action. You got something to say? Business cards. Oh, we could talk about Lee for a second. Sure. Okay, let's hide that up for a second here.

Derek Holmol says, two's background is kids' toys, question mark? Yeah. Yeah, actually. Yeah, there's, yeah. Yeah. Derek Holmall. There's also, I don't know if anybody's ever noticed,

there's a pretty impressive deer behind me as well. What? I can't see anything. Am I blind, folks? Okay. If I'm here, you can't see it? Yeah, I don't know. It's pretty dark.

Anyways. Okay. I'll take a look next time. Maybe I'll light it up next time. Okay. Okay. So Lee out of Manitoba showed it to Lee because he's been like, I don't know, he's been listening to everything I do.

and in turn everything Toos does now for like it's it's got to be a couple years Lee I hope I'm not overstating that and he reached out to me him and his wife uh six months ago maybe it was after Amitinton so roughly he said hey we want to do business cards for you and I'm like oh no you don't need to do that no no no we really want to do it and so I got business cards done and they're sharp I'm gonna pull one up for people to look at but twos you keep talking so they're sharp as hell and so Sean shows me these, I don't know, a couple months ago. And I was thinking to myself, man, I should probably have some business cards for the podcast. Because whenever you tell somebody, oh, yeah, just check it out. They go, oh, yeah, I will. Maybe they do. Maybe they don't. But if you gave them a card that had my 222 cents on it and award winning podcaster,

because now that's me, right? And then the keyword. Do you have one of your cards or it hasn't come yet? Well, if it's come yet, I just, I haven't checked the mailbox last couple of It probably hasn't come yet, though, because we just wrap that up. But anyway, I call this guy up. I get his number off, Sean. I call him up.

And I'm like, hey, so I saw these Sean Newman business cards that you made, and they're pretty good. I was wondering if I could get a set of business cards made for myself. And I didn't say 22 minutes or anything like that. So we get calling, played phone tag. Get them on the line. and he's like, hey, Tews, you want some business cards? Well, how did you know? It's like, I recognize the voice.

I thought that was really cool that somebody listens enough to recognize the voice out of hand. Anyway, it's all said and done. He won't take any money for him. That's the least. He's just like, here you go. So rap printers. Rap printers. RAP printers. And they do a lot of stuff other than business cards.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they've been absolute solid human beings. And, yeah, I text, I don't know. I got a whole group of people that you text. I get how, like, I don't know, I think of Daniel Smith on like a live radio show, how she, or like maybe Bob Stoffer for all Euler fans, how you get like the same guys who interact with your show. Lee's just one of them.

And I've met him and he's awesome human being and it's pretty cool. And then and the business cards. So yeah, shout out to Lee for, for hooking us both up because it's very, well, I don't know, makes you feel professional. Doesn't it too? It's like pretty cool. I think so. Okay.

And also I was on this social disorder podcast. through Weatherhead the other day. You could check that out. I was super tired, though, so I was kind of like the darkest version of myself. We got into the whole Shadenfrud aspect of Alberta separation. We're like, you know, one of the most appealing parts of it to me

is just the fact that the rest of the country will be absolutely fucked if it ever happens. So anyways, check that out. Shall we talk about the SaaS party? We're going to fire this up. We're 15 minutes in. All right, SAS party scared into action. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he was,

use a constitutional protection. The notwithstanding clause to ensure the students wanting to change their gender or pronouns at school must have parental permission to do so. Wild thought twos. The notwithstanding clause proposed by former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to broaden supports for the new Canadian Constitution repatriated from the United Kingdom, allows a province to opt out of or override any decision by the Supreme Court of Canada that affects the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Moe is introducing legislation to protect parents' rights in his province. against what many see as the intrusion of schools into the lives of students in the name of gender ideology. Under the new policy schools in Saskatchewan must obtain parental consent before using the preferred name or pronoun of a student who are under 16 years of age. Once again, wild thought. You can have the assurance that the government will utilize anything, this is Mo being quoted. Any in all of its tools available to, and including the notwithstanding clause, should it be necessary to ensure this policy is placed for the foreseeable future in society? Saskatchewan. Okay, so first off, yeah, it's a win. Secondly, they're not doing this because they wanted to.

They're doing this because they lost 23% of the votes in Lumsden. This is why they're doing this. Thirdly, thirdly, students can't change their gender, regardless of whose permission they do or don't have. So we're having a nonsense conversation, and we're talking about it like it's a victory. And in some small sense, maybe it is. But really, we're acquiescing to nonsense when we give this the validity it does not deserve. And preferred pronouns are bullshit. You walking on September 20th? Are you, are you, uh, yeah, I'll be going into Calgary for that.

So September 20th, if you're in Lloyd Minster or if you're in Calgary, for that matter you can walk with twos in Lloyd 10 till noon walks at 11 so it's at city hall so I just a brief little interlude while we talk about this the walk you know probably half an hour 45 minutes you're on and off and you can go back to work but show of numbers would be great considering we're going to talk about this topic like two more times today because we all saw the the shrapnel going around on Twitter on a bunch of different things anyways. The Calgary one, I think, is pretty much an all-day affair.

Well, and Lloyd is 10 to 2. 10 to 2. It's got, sorry, at 10 o'clock, it starts, 10-15. We got some speakers to 11, 11 walk, noon to 2 kids games. They got a musician coming, and you can park. You guys are going to have a bouncy castle? I don't know. That's pretty extreme, man.

It's pretty extreme. I'm not sure if we're going to go that far. Like, you know. Get a big one. Get a high capacity. Maybe a couple hockey nets. but once again, I don't know. Maybe we'll have to play with

foamy's or something because, you know, hockey sticks are weapons and all that good stuff. So I don't actually don't know. They look like guns. Don't know. The NDP are not serious about disclosure. BC Premier David Ebby answered questions from reporters Monday morning regarding the recent news

that Parksville Quillicum, MLA, Adam Walker, has been ousted from the BC NDP caucus. This relates to an employment relationship relationship complained under a collective agreement, Ebby said, there's no criminal investigation, it is not a criminal matter, this is a concerning and serious issue.

But not serious enough to actually tell anybody what the fuck it is. Correct. I don't know if I need to read anymore. That, to me, I'm like, as soon as he says, it's not criminal, no criminal investigation, it's not criminal matter.

And it was a human resources incident. Correct. It is a human resources issue. All right, which means that, it's probably sexual harassment. One has to have to. In fact, I'm going to say

that we should assume it's sexual harassment until they prove otherwise. Bold strategy. If you guys don't want to, if you guys are unwilling to talk about what the fuck's going on with a sitting representative for the people of this country,

we're going to assume it's sexual harassment until you guys prove us otherwise. The falls in your court, you socialist pricks. This is the same thing Nottley did a couple years ago, where they were like, oh, yeah, we did an internal investigation and everything was fine. And it's funny, there's been so many things like this with the NDP that when I was trying to Google it and go in the way back machine and trying to remember where the hell I saw this from,

it couldn't. Maybe that's C-18. I don't know if it's messing with our ability to pull up archived articles. Oh, one has to assume so. Look who suddenly became a fan of trickle-down economics. The federal government's decision to eliminate the GST on purpose-built rentals is expected to add tens of thousands of units to the housing market, but it's just the first step needed if Canada wants to actually close the housing gap. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week announced the move to waive the federal portion of the HST on the construction of rental housing. Mike Moffat, Senior Director of Policy and Innovation at the Smart Prosperity Institute in Ottawa, is still trying to figure out precisely how the elimination of the tax will impact.

supply. But he crunched the numbers after the federal announcement and says some of the back of the envelope calculations are encouraging. Now, this is, this is very funny because this is the same kind of shit that leftists love to call trickle down economics. Whenever they talk about trickle down economics, this is what it is. It's when you give tax breaks to the really, really rich people hoping that it will trickle down to the regular plebs, the poor people, and that they can enjoy some of the savings being passed on by the rich people. Now, having said that, any tax break is a good break. No matter what it is for, no matter who it goes to, any tax cut is good.

All right? But it's funny that this is the exact same thing that they love to speak up about. In fact, you can even find when you go to Twitter's Wayback Machine, you can find a picture or a tweet of Justin Trudeau. By design, the money for students is the money we're not giving to our most profitable corporations. Trickle down simply does not work. Huh. Straight from the horse's ass's mouth.

We're going to need a bigger bus. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking of him, on Thursday announced he was summoning leaders from Canada's biggest groceries together on Monday, calling for a plan to stabilize food inflation and warning tax measures were on the table should Canadians continue to face undue pain at the grocery store. Quoted, it does not make sense in a country like Canada that our largest grocery change should be making record profits while Canadians are struggling to put food on the table, and we're seeing record usage of food banks, Trudeau said. This is really interesting because we all know that Trudeau is tanking in the polls and that if an election was to be called anytime soon,

he's fucked. He would not be prime minister. He would not even be leader of the opposition. No, he would be leader of the opposition. But he would be not by much, right? It would be a huge upset. And so now the turntables have turned. And Jagmeet Singh is now in the driver's seat.

This is almost identical to a whole litany of tweets that Jagmeet Singh has been putting out for months about how it's the evil CEOs of the grocery companies that are causing this inflation. And now if the NDP is actually in charge of the country, brace your fuck itself because it's going to get bad. The interesting thing, though, is I can't tell if it's genius or stupidity. Because, yeah, the NDP really wants to enact these policies, but they're shit policies. They're going to inevitably make things more expensive. You're going to tax them more. This is what you're going to do. You're going to tax them more. If they don't come up with

solutions that you like, that's going to make things more expensive. The exact opposite of what they're doing with eliminating the tax on the home construction, right? I mean, if it works one way, it should work the other way. And so the NDP is going to get the liberals to enact some really shitty fiscal policies, which is going to make the liberals even more unpopular down the line, which will presumably bleed some support over to the NDP. So maybe he's just a mad genius thinking 50 moves ahead. What your genius and Trudeau?

I don't know about that. No, I'm talking about Singh. Oh, well, Singh neither. Here he is. He says, Sobe's just posted a 52% increase in profits. When you pay more, greedy CEOs make more. On Monday, I'm going to introduce a law that will crack down on grocery price gouging and bring prices down.

Justin Trudeau and Pierre Piliyev, the ball's in your court. And then, you know, you got to love Twitter and they added context. The community notes is probably the best thing to happen to the public discourse in centuries. So what did it say? Sobe's net earnings actually dropped last quarter from $173 million to $149. The jump in its prophecy is quoting as from their parent company, Empire Co, LTD, and this was due to the sale of 56 of their gas stations in Western Canada. Yeah, so they liquidated its mass.

That's an evil mastermind, too's genius? I think we can play his game and I think we can win. Yeah, Sean Ruins. I don't think we have any geniuses in our government sad as that is to say. I don't think it's sad at all. I think that's just like bang on the truth. That's just calling it how it is. Here's Cory Morgan, friend of the show.

As Trudeau's own study on grocery prices last June, there's no gouging. The profit margins are modest 3.6%. The study did conclude we need more competition. How will he get more competition in the market when the government attacks at grocers for making a 3.6% margin? Who on earth would enter that market? Trudeau's idiotency will reduce competition, if anything, and the grocers don't have room to move on prices.

The liberal's own bloody study. Own bloody study said so. All right. Here's a few. I really hope that the CEOs actually give honest, reasonable answers to this. Because Trudeau says you need to come to Ottawa with a plan to fix this. And so I want them to come to Ottawa and say, let's get rid of the carbon tax asshole. How about that?

And while we're at it, let's get rid of the price fixing by the cartels for. for dairy, poultry, and eggs. Like here's, and then here's somebody. They were talking about how you just put it up half second after me. Okay. So this is somebody talking about how much better we are because we have price control is because we don't have these fluctuations like this. Wholesale like prices in the U.S.

are down some 50% since peaking in December 2020. Here's the thing is our numbers are always right at the top anyway. So, oh, no, no, no, they blipped up to where our numbers are. momentarily, that's, that's pretty good because they went back down again to a fraction of what we pay for eggs. Tuesday's pissing off the entire cartels again. Tonight I shall lock my doors and make sure that I have a ready instrument beside my bedside table.

Yeah. Here we go. Maybe the PM should ask the carbon tax. And that's exactly what I want those CEOs to go in there and stay. That would be a smart idea, Chris. I mean, come on. They should go in there and they should say, get. rid of the carbon tax, get rid of GST on the carbon tax, and see everything drop down a few

percentage points, and then quit increasing it, quit doubling and tripling up on the taxes, and maybe think the thumbs off the stale. Let's introduce a new grocery tax. That'll just stop all this. It's a great idea. And then Chris, again, a new grocery tax doesn't help. How does this moron keep his job seriously? it's because idiots in Toronto and fucking Quebec like him.

Oh, man. Oh, God. We're, it's, yeah, okay. And so anyway, but what with the,

with the headline is just that Trudeau, it's always somebody else's fault. It's always somebody else's problem. Somebody else shit my pants. Okay. And this is, you know, it's Jody Wilson-Ra-Bold.

It's, um, Jane Philpott. It's, uh, like the list goes on and it's always somebody else the bill more no he's a shitty leader to labelin he's a shitty leader how many times the part of somebody who who is not the prime minister because he doesn't look the part part for it but at that he just looks the part of people oh yeah

I kind of like I don't like the look of them but you listen to him talk and you're like I could there's one common denominator in all of these fucking shit shows and it's that fucking prick. Once again, yes. Okay, it's only bad when conservatives do it. This has been like hilarious to watch. Can I, can I, like, I don't, like, I guess just got tired of seeing this, but anyways, conservative leader Pierre Pouliyev said the union representing West Jet cabin crew should

apologize for trying to silence free speech. He used the public announcement system to give a 45 second speech on a Sunday night on board of West Jet Plain that was headed to Calgary from Quebec City after the conservative party convention after videos of the speech circulated online including being posted to polyov's social media a cube cupi alberta's local for 4070 president said it was disappointing the airline allowed a politician to use a PA system and that the cabin crew had no input on the decision he's mad twos we're all mad but a fucking flight and a cabin system give me a fucking break part in the

French folks the union wanted Westjet and Poliiev to apologize for putting the cabin crew in that situation There's one thing that I'll give Pierre a little credit for, is some politician probably would apologize for that. And instead, speaking in Vancouver on Thursday, police said the cabin crew asked him to speak multiple times on that flight, and the union should be the one apologizing. I think the union should apologize for trying to silence freedom of speech,

he said. The crew invited me to give a speech, and they did that multiple times. And I think it's because people who work on airplanes, people who work in restaurants, people who work on buildings love my message. And I go, what a wild, wild day when talking on an intercom gets everybody fired up. And of course, that's never happened before, too.

Nobody's ever talked on an intrigal. Oh, wait, there's Rick Mercer. Whoops. Oh, wait, there's, wait, is that Justin Trudeau? That is Justin Trudeau. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. There he's sitting there.

Okay. Oh, wait, there's another one of our freaking fearless leaders. Yeah, that's the one who took the ring into Mordor. Oh, God. You know, it's just like, are we this stupid? But it's only bad when the conservatives do it. We've got this ongoing legal precedent. But I had to hold this one up.

Now Jared Arden bows to boycott Westwood after his short speech. I'm like, really? Jan Arden is now boycotting an airline. Like, did her publicist go-toes? You don't want how you could make some headlines and actually get back on people's radar? Is if you hopped on this and said you'll never fly West Strait again. You know what? I'm going to fly West Strait more because she ain't on it and I don't care.

Good riddance. Arden is a one-hit wonder from 30 years ago. She had one song about being dumped. And I think it's safe to say that none of us would even know who she was if she had a steady workout regimen. Because she probably wouldn't have been dumped. Okay. So this high-calorie human says that she's going to punish an airline that charges by the seat, not by the pound, by not flying with them anymore and only flying with their competitors?

She's doing the exact opposite of punishing them. She's making them more profitable and punishing their competitors. You know when I bring twos on this show, folks, he always is going to find a new way to just make me go, well, there's twos, folks, in a nutshell. A fat joke. Tell me I'm wrong. At any point. Okay.

Okay. Honestly, all she had to do, just if she jogging, if she jogs, done a regular basis, she'd have never wrote that song. All I'm saying is, I could give two shits what she made her song or famous or a weight or anything. I'm saying it's a ridiculous thing to make. What are you going to do? Hate them.

Well, actually, I guess she could just hate the uni party and become a PPC lover. I guess there is that thought. I mean, at the end of the day, I don't know. Here we go. Kind of a left field thought. Sean Roos says, oh, M.G. I'm dying. and Sandy Palm, Holgren says Jan Arden is no longer insensitive. All right, all right, here we go.

I don't even know where I'm at anymore, folks. Here it is, you know, like he's just got me turned around. That's right. Here we go. Okay. The other kind of offshore drilling. Yep. Henry, buckle up.

Here we go. Sok Minder Rai supposedly led a fraudulent scheme against the hotel and Health Canada officials. He negotiated taxpayer payment for all 247 rooms but only informed his partners of payment for 100 rooms. Shady dealing. A revenue difference of $15.7 million. A little greedy too. The part owner of COVID quarantine hotel in Calgary is in hot water for alleged misappropriation of nearly 16 million federal funds. Sucminder Ray of the Weston Calgary Airport Hotel is subject to lawsuit from.

the other two owners claiming he and his PHA Hospitality Corporation kept money from the Health Canada meant to quarantine COVID positive travels from June 20 to until October 2020. And I know nobody gives two shits about quarantine and all that bullshit right now. But this is interesting. Between June 2020, October 2022, taxpayer payments totaled $26.8 million to quarantine 1 hotel. 1,40 travelers at the Weston. Are you kidding me? During the quarantine mandate, these hotel costs taxpayers more than 17 grand for every traveling given shelter for 72 hours reported by BlackLogs reporter.

Fuck. Yeah. So, RBC wrote an affidavit for these guys, which... You know why we can't get absolutely filthy, stinking wretchedus? When I read all these stupid things... Because we're not a bunch of fucking crooks. We have a soul. Like, I'm just like, I have a soul.

I don't feel like making people and their government pay for a ridiculous amount of money to be held against. against their will. And an affidavit, RBC financial records allege rye funneled the missing money to several entities, including offshore accounts. If, and then he's he's saying, well, everything I did was above board. How the fuck did that money end up in the Cayman Islands? Nobody, nobody ever puts clean money in the Cayman Islands. Like your grandmother doesn't deposit her social security check at the fucking Cayman Islands.

Maybe he was a, uh, a convoy support. and knew the banks would come after his accounts. Oh, yeah, that's probably it. No, it's probably not. I mean, this guy's about a shitty, like they had a cash cow of people getting quarantined. He wasn't, he wasn't, he wasn't confining anything. He was like, he wasn't sharing the milk with anybody. I'm making millions here and nobody needs to know it.

There's nobody staying in this, like, fuck. Yeah, so there's some greasy ass. I want to go back to simpler times. I want to go back to simpler times, twos. Well, we're going to go back to simpler times because the news is getting, a lot less complicated. What's next? Toronto's shooting star, okay? Nord Star,

the company that owns the Toronto Star, and the newspapers announced Friday that it is seeking bankruptcy protection for the unit that owns more than 70 local newspapers and actually more than 600 jobs in the process. Nord Star says it's putting its Metroland Media Group Division into creditor protection under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act as part of a restructuring plan. The Metroland business

owns dozens of community newspapers delivered alongside advertising flyers. Nordstar said it's getting out of the flyer business entirely in converting the newspaper to digital-only format. The move will mean the loss of 605 jobs are about 60% of its total workforce. And of course, we'll bring up a couple things here. You know, one of them is it's shocking. It's almost like the Toronto Star's consistent bias and slanted coverage of almost every imaginal situation has costed credibility and viability is trust.

the news source, weird how that works. And then Paul Mitchell had posted the, I think this thing has been written, you know, how many times has this been posed now? The trauma star went well-dial. Yes, yes. Their day of reckoning has been coming for quite some time now. And that's, you know, if an unvaccinated person, this is the headline from the front page, I think everybody's, but if an unvaccinated person catches it from someone who is vaccinated,

boo-hoo, too bad, I have no empathy left for the willfully unvaccinated, let them die. That was, yeah. So, funny thing about this. I literally just saw this maybe about an hour ago. Somebody went through because allegedly the story behind all these clips is that there were things from Twitter. And the idea being that Toronto Star was trying to capture the thoughts and emotions and beliefs of people at the time.

And somebody went through and actually found all these tweets. And there was one with one like, one with two likes, one with seven likes. I think one of them had 74 likes. And then one of them seemed to have been completely made up. And so they went through and found not the most, not the most circulated, not the most presumably widely thought of things. They found the most inflammatory ones

and tried to present them to put the unvaccinated in as battle as possible because it's just been nothing but dishonesty from the media forever. Now, this isn't the Toronto Star that's closing down. It's a bunch of, I guess you could call them subsidiaries. interesting thing though is that because they don't fall underneath the same umbrella as the Toronto Star, which is still continuing to be in circulation. So presumably there's some money there in that kiddie pool.

But the umbrella that these ones fall under is so out of money that they can't pay anybody severance. But meanwhile, if you go up a couple levels, it's part of the Toronto Star group, but the Toronto Star is still gone. So that's that's not greasy at all. Not greasy at all. Yeah, this is exactly what you'd expect from people like this. Correct. And here's another one.

Reason one billion trillion, whatever it is to fund the CBC report. CBC has now has 140 corporate directors, all of whom are paid 100,000 a year. What's 144 times 100,000, Sean? A lot of money, too. Mm-hmm. And once again, I go, I kind of like having a soul, you know? Kind of like it. Oh, before I hop, before I hop, this was the other one.

Cabinet singles, it will extend 595 million temporary bailout for newspaper. Lobbyists who once a lot is appointed to media bailout review panel that runs to 2025. Man, I love blacklocks. Holly don't. What if, what if hypothetically speaking, we just got some media. that didn't suck aside from black locks who doesn't get subsidies right but what if we had other people who just tried to do a good job like imagine if you were a journalist and rather than just saying give me free money like your fucking Quebec or something what if instead you just tried to do

the fucking job and let the money come from the quality that you put out I don't know it sounds like a risky proposition and there would probably be no money i i really want one billion from the government i mean yeah yeah you know i would gladly take out the rooster and put a cbc logo there tuesday mashup you can't take the roost like off the statue no i'm kidding i'm like literally being facetious right now i'm not removing no rooster folks nobody's taking the rooster with its with its you know ball shaped whatever for a billion dollars yeah that rooster's gone I'll do that for a billion dollars.

A billion dollars, we go bankrupt and we bring back the rooster better than ever. How about that? How about that? What if we got a billion dollars and just blew it all on stupid shit and then went back to the rooster? That's what you're saying? That's right. Yeah. Can you imagine us two with a billion dollars this stupid crap?

I mean, we'd have to put a CBC logo there probably, but then we'd have like a giant rooster behind my head. And I'd just be like, totally CBCC. The studio would just be full of actual roosters. like we wouldn't be able to get anything done we'd have papers that we were trying to shuffle and look all professional and stuff. Speaking of which, I'm still waiting for Dale Wilker's drawing of the rooster

in the ring wrestling the don't air that will be hung in here and I tell you what, folks, that's going to be a happy day. It will be, but yeah, Sean's absolutely right. Western Standard, True North, Rebel News, all seem to make it work. Isn't it interesting? Isn't it interesting?

Although there's some politicians that don't want to talk to them, so you never know. Union plans to get hands dirty this time in broad daylight. Yeah. I tell you what, we're going to do this first. Let's do this. What are we doing? What are we doing?

Shit on you? Who? Shithawks. Big dirty shithawks. What he's talking about? Here we go. Okay. A secret meeting was held today by Ontario Federation of Labor.

It calls on people to disrupt, bully, intimidate, and basically destroy the million people march. This is scary and beyond radical. This was Sask Fringe. You're at Sask Fringe. And it was Odessa Orloix. And I hope I said that right. Okay, no problem.

It has been released 80 independent outlets as well. This is not illegal. I just checked. And it's all these unions in Ontario and a bunch of other people basically explaining how they're going to disrupt this protest. Yeah. Yeah. So this is the million man march, million person march, million indeterminate gender march on Wednesday day.

And the unions are now getting involved. The unions are now saying they're going to take a stand for this. Because what the hell do you have to do? What the hell does workers' rights have to do with any of this stuff? Unless you think that teachers should have the right to promote whatever personal beliefs they have in the classroom. which is something I don't think very many people are going to side with. But when in Canada, say in the past, I don't know, your entire fucking life, have you ever looked at something the unions have done and said, hey, you know what,

they're on the right side of this issue. I'm with the unions on this. Nope. Fuck them all. At some point, I think there would have been a time for a union. I won't say that there wasn't. certainly and I just think of the NHL and I go at one point

putting together the players union was was a very stroked genius I remember that CBC movie and in hindsight I wonder how honest it was given that it was a CBC movie well I've talked to enough of the old boys to understand some of it right

so to me I'm just you know playing a little bit of the advocate on the other side of this but when it comes to what's about to happen I'm like I don't know. I don't know. You kind of made my point, though, when I was saying when in our lifetimes.

True. True point. Actually, you got me there, twos. You got me there. Yeah. Chris Coor says Western Standard, oh, True North. And registered nurses. What?

Registered nurse. That's what our N stands for. But isn't it Western Standard? True North. and registered nurse. Oh, fuck, whatever. Okay, okay, okay, okay, whatever. Here, look at me.

Oh, my God, dudes. All right. Give me out of here. Loud buzzer. I just blew the door off everybody's speakers. Here we go. This is exactly the kind of stuff that James Lindsay is coming to talk about.

Yeah, that's true. October 2nd and 3rd, um, uh, take back Alberta dot. C.A. I'm going to check that real fast. Just look up Take Back Alberta. I'm sure you can find it. Takebackalbara.ca.

Tickets in Alberta. Eminton, Calgary. Well, they shut it down at both places, man. No, they didn't. They got it. Well, okay, so both venues backed out, but they found alternate venues. Yeah, but that's what I mean. Both venues backed out.

Then Eventbrite backed out. It's like, this is wild. Which was really stupid because now you can just buy tickets off their website directly and they're not paying a 20% pimp fee. to event bright. I actually agree. Yeah. Well, and the fact that

we aren't sending 12-year-olds into coal mines anymore. Very true, Derek. Very true. But once again, the whole coal mine came out looking like Zoolander. I mean...

I got the black lung pop. You were in the mine for two hours, son. Anyways, when it comes to Wednesday, yeah, that's... It'll be interesting to see what happens in Canada, It's from coast to coast.

There's marches going on all over the place. I know a ton of people that are going to it. And then you see that call. And if you've watched majority of it, you're like, oh, it sounds like they're going to try and get there early. So if you're going to the protest, get there early. Because one of their things is show up early. Yeah. Take over the space.

Okay. But, I mean, when these people get together and they start throwing bricks into the protesters, it's not going to be a big deal because they're going to be tofu bricks right these these aren't really people like are they going to self-identify as somebody you should take seriously for a couple hours

whatever I tell you what Chuck Prodnick's coming to Lloyd I'm like I don't know you know if you know I'm like I'm walking into this and I am like I do something stupid and I got and I got you know and I got Ken Rutherford on the other side

and then I got my brother dust on the other side and I'm like I think I'll be okay I don't think anybody's going there for any violence. Everybody's going there to have a peaceful march, which in a democratic society, when you're unhappy, that's what you do. And they're coming to counter-protest it. It's cute that you think we live in a democratic society, Sean. I used to. I used to.

Gun control logic inspires... Finland. Playground laws. The government of BC has received approval from the federal government to prohibit possession of illegal drugs at playgrounds, spray pools, waiting pools, and skate parks. In a statement Thursday, the province said the ban will go into effect Monday, September 18th. This means possession of illicit drugs within 15 meters of any play structure in a playground, a spray or waiting pool or a skate park will be prohibited. The move means police in BC will be able to enforce controlled drugs and substance action in such areas,

even though the federal government granted the province had an exemption to the drug law six months ago. It has now been more than six months since BC's exemption to the federal controlled drugs, and Substance Act took effect. This means adults can possess small amounts of certain drugs, opioids, crack, cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA for personal use. Okay, so they're illegal drugs, and PC is making it illegal to have illegal drugs within a certain radius of playgrounds and skate parks. See, they know that we know that they know that we know.

But it's already illegal, Sean. they're already illegal and they're going to take this thing that's illegal and make it extra illegal. So you're saying it's illegal? It's already illegal. It's illegal. Okay. So it's illegal to shoot somebody. Okay.

But we're also going to take away. But we're going to make it illegal to shoot somebody on a playground. Okay. But it's going to be extra legal if you do it with this gun. Okay. Well, you can't use the gun to shoot anybody. But also you can't carry the gun. You can't do like it's just this is the thing.

exact gun control logic being applied now to drugs. But here's the funny thing, though. You know, if you guys, if you guys really wanted to just avoid any of these counter protesters on Wednesday, why don't you guys just have it somewhere within 50 yards of a school? We are 50 yards within a school. Okay, perfect.

So yeah, you just be like, look, how many of these people are, you know on that that red light website or whatever where you can maybe that's just in the states where it'll pop up that the registered sex offenders how many people are these counter protesters are registered sex offenders and they're not allowed to be within this area anyway i have no idea i honestly i got no idea no idea okay let's go here um we need a stupidity tax actually this is i didn't even know what to do with all this is the first one here i don't even i don't even i don't even need to read the other two. This is the first one's like, this is like George Orwell, man. Harry Potter, the Hunger Games. Orwell that ends well. That's what I should have said.

Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, and Roll of Thunder, hear me cry. Those are all examples of books. Rina Takata says she can no longer find in her public school and library, a public school, public high school library in Mississauga, Ontario, which she visits on her lunch hour most days. In May, Tacata says the shelves of the Arundale Secondary School were full of books, but she noticed that they had gradually started to disappear. When she returned to the school this fall, things were more stark. This year, I came into my school library

and there were rows and rows of empty shelves with absolutely no books, Takata said. She estimated more than 50% of her school's library books are gone. In the spring, Takata says students were told by staff, if the shelves look emptier right now, it's because we have to remove all books published prior to 2008. Takata is one of several Peel Districts,

school board students parents and community members of CBC Toronto who CBC spoke to concerned about a seemingly inconsistent approach to a new equity based who there's the word equity based book weeding process implemented by the board last spring in response to a provincial directive from the minister of education they say the new process this is the conservative party in Ontario fucking 100% twos they say the new process intended to ensure library books are inclusive appears to have led to some schools to remove thousands of books solely because they were published in 2008 or earlier the documents lay out so an internal PDsb documents they lay out an equitable curation cycle like I want to punch my like for weeding I'm

gonna read that again documents layout an equitable curation cycle for weeding which it says was created to support directive 18 for Minister of Education based on 2020 ministry review and report on widespread issues of systemic discrimination within PTSB. Directive 18 instructs the board to complete a diversity audit of schools, which includes libraries. Diane Lawson, another member of the libraries, not landfills, told CBC Toronto, weaning by publication date and some schools have must have occurred in order to explain why a middle school teacher told her the diary of a young girl by the name of Anne Frank. That was you, right? Was removed from shelves.

She also said a kindergarten teacher told her the very hungry caterpillar had been removed as well. We are living in the upside down, man, when that is going on. But they even have a picture of the very hungry caterpillar. Oh, no, wait. That's one of the dudes. But honestly, this whole thing's starting to raise a few eyebrows, isn't it, Sean? Okay. This is what I thought was great is when you actually get into the granularity of this stuff.

This is the kind of stuff that James Lindsay is going to be talking about. So there's this acronym called musty. Misleading. Information that may be factually incorrect, inaccurate, or obsolete. Okay. That whole obsolete thing. Who decides what exactly is obsolete? Okay.

Unpleasant refers to the physical condition of the book may require replacement. All the best books are worn right the fuck out. That's how you know that they're good. The ones that you have on your shelf that are brand new that you never even got to read. Yeah, maybe they're good. Maybe they are. The ones that are just fallen apart that are just, you know, they're they don't even close right unless they're sandwiched by other books. Those are the books that you want kids reading. Superceded, uh, been overtaken by a new edition or a more current resource. Again, like this is all just weird wiggle room where they can put in whatever

the what I found. What I found, uh, trivial no of no discercer. literary or scientific merit poorly written or presented completely subjective irrelevant doesn't meet the needs and interest of the library's community who defines that what are they elsewhere the book or material and it may be better obtained from other sources all they got to do is say it's on the internet somewhere and they can justify taking it off this is completely meritless bullshit that gives them absolute blanket immunity to take out anything they don't like you were saying I just the fact that we've read a lot of CBC articles and most of them are just horrendous. Don't give you wrong.

What I found fascinating about this article twos is I think they're trying to explain why this is a good thing and not a lot. That's exactly how this article is worded. And I read it and I'm like, and here is a book of what they're doing and what they want to do. And I'm like, it is straight on 1984. This is straight on like, holy shit, buckle up. And now has it hit Saskatchewan or Alberta? I don't think so. Well, I've never heard of this.

But I mean, but this is Ontario. This is totally being presented as a positive thing. 100%. Which A is weird because CBC never talks anything positive about the conservatives. But also this policy is not conservative at fucking all. It's literally the opposite of conservatism. Okay? There's nothing being conserved here.

all right but yeah it totally lays it all out and when you actually go through and read this everybody should actually go read this fucking article peel school board library book weeding not reading weeding weeding weeding yeah i didn't say that wrong okay go check it out and just read this because it lays out exactly how it is and just ask yourself every step of the way how much of this makes sense it doesn't make sense they're literally that's the whole point point Sean that's what I'm saying fuck me I agree yes and I'm like this is why James Lindsay coming to Alberta is probably why it's so important you know like I like I just you read this article you know and two's had a couple others and I'm like you

know what as much I want to talk about these others I don't care they have been removing books one of them is bloody Anne Frank it's like what are they talking about like what are we doing here we don't want to this here. Oh, mother of... Okay, one of the other ones is that Lyft is giving you the option of deciding what gender you want your driver to be. And actually, this should be the happy news because I feel like it's going to reduce a lot of passenger fatalities. You know what? I don't give a shit. I don't, I don't care. I don't care. I want people to go read the article about weeding books out of schools. That's what I want them to know. I don't give a crap about some Lyft and you can gender this and

gender that and nobody cares they're taking books out of schools in Ontario if you're sitting in Ontario right now which we have listeners dues right I don't mean to get everybody worked up in Alberta Saskatchew I think it's an interesting thing to go read and probably you want to pay attention to make sure that isn't happening in any year schools but this is happening in Ontario right yep and they're trying to make it normal it's just a little book weeding it's not a well it's anti-racism and that's a big deal it's inclusive and equitable and And what other words are we going to throw down your throat this time?

It's like, we got some people out in Ontario, listen to that. You best pay attention, folks, because that's some wild shit. Now, beating the pale horse whose rider is death. Heat pumps are more than twice as efficient as fossil fuel heating systems and cool temperatures research shows. Even at temperatures approaching minus 30, heat pumps outperform oil and gas heating systems according to research from Oxford University and the Regulatory Assistance Project Think Tank. What about that is hogwash twos?

Well, I mean, this Stephen Jeffries summed it up pretty well. One, he clearly did not read the study. Two, or while authors have clear biases, that's one. Two, study only examined air-source heat pumps in mild European winters with average January tempers of above minus 10. It literally says that in the opening paragraph of the study. Study indicates that you need a backup when it gets really cold. That's in like the first paragraph of this sucker.

Yeah, I mean, this just reads like wind and solar, basically. We think you should get heat pump. He pump be great. You sound like a moron. Yeah. So, I mean, this is, and then this is Stephen Gilball, handpicking an article. Well, a paper, actually. A paper.

He handpicks a paper that handpicked data. And even within that handpicked data, there's still enough caveats in there to say that, yeah, this basically, like, yeah, it'll keep you warm in Alabama or some shit. And this guy is making how many hundreds of thousands of dollars of our taxpayer money takes? 287 annually. Like, I'm fucking believable, folks. And I know the potty mouth on me this week, folks, it's just bad. But I'm like, come on. Hey, do you want to do a swearing episode next week?

Yeah, I think we could do that. Erasing history in the making. Yeah, that was Susan Stibel, and then Sean Rue, people have only been learning history from old books since the beginning of recorded history. But hey, why should we stop that? I like that.

That was very well put. Well, that's a show sponsor, Bigfellow. That's what they do, right? I know who Sean is. I mean, he's got bad taste and ad reads, but he's still a pretty good guy. I just, anyway. Here we go.

Show me your Mike Babcock. Nice. Nicely done. Hey, every once in a while, folks, I can rattle off one too. And if you haven't heard, well, here I'll read it. This was them talking about it on spit and chicklets. Babcock resigned on Sunday after requesting to view photos on players' cell phones as part of a bonding effort led to an investigation last week by the NHL and the NHL Players Association.

He was gone after two months on the job with assistant Pascal Vincent tapped in and replaced him given a two-year contract. This is like, you know, I could show the video, but essentially Bissonnet is just calling him out saying, hey, Babcock needs to come on the show to explain why the heck he's asking players to show them, like hand over their phones so he can go looking through the photos. And then he was airdropping it onto a big TV. onto a big TV. And so I've heard two stories, two's. I've heard one, he's a perv. And I've also, my thought, and once again, this is just me speculating on his like track record.

And I go, oh man, he's all about control. He wants to find something incriminating on you so that he can hold it over you and you do what he wants. And you'll do 10 extra pushups. Or whatever. Yeah. The perv thing, I'm like, well, maybe. I don't, I can't say, but nobody's come out saying that. everybody all the stories of mike madano and chrylios and and on and on and on and on it goes

all call them all for being a piece of shit and not like respecting players essentially and so this looks like that's what it is which is like brutal because this guy's won a stanley cup he's got two olympic golds as a head coach i believe like he's a well decorated man who's this cup with a detroit okay and then uh olympic gold medals with this place called canada you know or once a great nation. Anyways. Yeah. So, I mean, wild stuff in the NHL, you know, spitting chicklets, break it.

They don't even break it. It's just like he was calling him out. That thing exploded. And the story's wild, you know, like hand over your phone. It's like, well, I got nothing really to hide. Like, whoopty-do. But I mean, Bissadet is like, you want to see my dick. You want to see this.

You want to see that. That's exactly it. That's why else would you do this? I it's it's bizarre but I don't know it's I can't get behind it I could see where you know you've probably seen some coaches trying to do some weird things over the years trying to come up with interesting ways to motivate the players but this this isn't it look at this tweet can you see that the coach's room is for four checks not four skins clean it up babs That's solid. That's solid. Anyways.

Yeah, once again, we don't get to talk a whole lot of hockey on here, too. So, you know, I hope it's some happier stuff than that, you know, more uplifting. You know, it was McDavid getting caught, hammered, drunk, you know, at one point that we got to talk about that. And then, you know, of course, when the Oilers beat the flames, you got to talk a little bit about that. That was a lot of fun. And now it's Babcock getting, you know, see a later. So we had McDavid getting ham. and then the flames getting hammered and then Babcock looking at hammers.

A bingo. A bingo. Show me your bike, Babcock, baby. Anyways. A three-legged bear. Okay, wait,

life finds a way. Life finds a way. This is, like, this headline fits this story. Just absolutely perfect. Okay? A three-legged bear known as tripod.

Because he's got a big hammer. That's right. Was caught on camera breaking into a Florida home over the weekend. He ate the fish food we had outside next to our fish tank and then proceeded to the bar, Joseph told some news station, W-E-A-S-H. He took three white claws drank and left very happy. His favorite flavor is mango and strawberry. And then it said down at the end of the article, Josary said that despite the mess and the minor damages, Tripod is a well-liked member of the neighborhood. Like he just rolls into your house, drinks your beer, and rolls on up.

It's kind of like some other guy I know. I just, I think it's perfect that a bear drinks white claw, right? Yeah. And you know what I mean? He had to have been there for a little while because it's not like he was two fisting. Right. But yeah, I just, I happen to just see that after I'd already picked the other one for the happy news. And then, uh, and then you, you know, you see the articles on the side and usually they're

bullshit click bait but i'm like okay well yeah you know what you had me at three-legged bear let's see where this one goes you know he's probably just wallowing too you know just rolls in crack me a beer life sucks you know you had a tough day in the woods and he really just wanted to put his feet up for a little while and and watch the blue jackets play but then that went to shit too uh folks that's right there is it going to do it's going to do it for us mashup 73. So we're not going to talk about the dog that went missing in an airport for three weeks. Oh, yeah.

There's a dog that went missing for three weeks. In an airport. And the owner was getting deported. And so she couldn't stick around. Well, not that she was getting deported, but a visa ran out. And she apparently is the only person in the history of the United States to not overstay a visa. And so anyway, she had to leave the airport, leave the dog in the airport because the ground crew accidentally let it out. And it just hit around in the airport for three weeks, like some little, I don't know,

like that the terminal? Is that the Tom Hanks? Tom Hanks? Yeah. Yeah. Basically, this dog just Tom Hanks at the airport for three weeks. Like, how do you not notice that there's a dog running around? How many dogs are in the fucking airport that one more can just completely escape notice? Victor Navorski. Victor Navorski. That's who Tom Hanks played. That was back in 2004. 2004 yeah that sounds about right holy man that's a long time i didn't think it was that old of a movie anyways pretty cool three weeks three weeks and then they reunited with it three-legged bear beats it hands down i i don't even don't even need a text to tell me that like three-legged bears just like that that's a fantastic story i thought they were both worth talking about

For those who are like, well, how far of a walk, you know, maybe got a sore hip, an ankle, maybe you're love walking, maybe you don't, maybe you want a marathon.

I don't know. We walked it. It was 25 minutes of walking, but with, depending on crowd, probably anywhere between 25 to an hour, you can park in the, across the highway, in the mall, parking lot all the way to the north side of the northwest side of the city hall. There's tons of parking all in there. And if you're worried about a long walk, the police station's right by there. They're going to have a bunch of horses. You can probably borrow one. Okay. Oh, also, I always forget to do this, like every single time.

But if you guys are liking this show, share it with somebody. Yeah, Ashley, you know, here's a cool. thing. Two's, give me one sec. I got to pull it up so I don't butcher the number. You know we're live, right?

Yeah, I do. Now I got to come up with something to fill the dead air. Dint dint a little dent, bin, Bimp, Bim, bint,

I'm worried. Just breathe. Can I talk over this? Can I talk over? Yeah, you can. Yeah, you can. I want everybody to hold. Okay.

Okay. Seriously, ever since you got the nipple tape, you've totally changed. I thought it was a good buy. You know, I still will, when I think on it, I'm like the nipple buy, the nipple tape was a great buy. I just didn't think it through far enough.

And when it started all falling off the wall, I'm like, son of a bee. Anyways, my goal for 2023, okay? Mm-hmm. Was to have one million downloads in a calendar year. So from January 1 to December 31st. And so episode 500 comes out on Wednesday. So I was talking about these, like, I've recorded the intro to it because I've already recorded with the guest and it drops on Wednesday.

and I'm excited about it. Who is the guest? Well, I don't know. Do you want me to say who it is? Or do you think it's better? I don't know. Are you wanting to drum up mystery or drum up anticipation? A little bit of mystery.

Okay. I don't know. I thought I'd set you up. And if you wanted to take it, you could run with it. It's Jonathan Padgeo. And obviously, folks will know him from being on a ton of different things. He does his podcast. And then he's been on Jordan Peterson's Exodus series.

and he's just very, very interesting, interesting man. So he's episode 500. It comes out tomorrow. And the number I wanted to hit for 2023, okay, this is why it's relevant, is 1 million downloads. So it took me roughly three and a half years, a little under that to hit 1 million downloads. We're not social media. We're not talking Rumble. We're not talking any of that.

Just downloads off Spotify, Apple. So I wanted to hit 1 million downloads in 2023. And as it sits right now, I've had the greatest, the best year yet. And I'm 280,000. This is a couple, this is a little bit ago, but 280,000 away. And I was three and a half months away from the end of the year, which means why you should, you should share this. You should share. I'm on, I'm on pace, but it's tight.

So you folks need to keep sharing and share, share, share, share.

Yeah, I agree with twos. If you like what we're doing, share it. We appreciate that immensely. That's how the word gets out about what we're doing and everything else. We're always, you know, I would say nine times out of ten or maybe a little more than that, 95 out of 100 times.

And he came and spoke at one of our kids' sake meetings. May, I want to say.

He's a smart guy. So that's really interesting. Another guy that kind of lines up with James Lindsay, if you would, kind of is like how to talk to schools and make sure some of this stuff doesn't get in. So that's really, really interesting. Thanks for that, Tricia. Anyways, 73. See, you guys.
