world who hate, fucking hates the cruise on and off button. It's the vehicular equivalent of the are you sure okay cancel. Why do I have to turn the cruise on and off? It's something that every car has done forever and now they've got to keep doing it. Just fucking get rid of it. I don't want to push cruise on and then. Just let me go. Save me the hassle.

Save me the cost of the extra fucking button. Figure your shit out every company ever that makes cars. What are you pissed off about this week? Cut out on me for a second. Yeah, the audio is weird on the song. Well, can you hear me now, too? I can hear you the whole time, but the audio is weird on the song. Okay, fair enough.

Well, the song's gone. What are you pissed about? Okay, cruise control, right? You got to go cruise on and off. And then you decide what you're going to set it to. Right? Like, you don't do that with volume. You don't do that with anything else on the steering wheel.

But cruise control always has to have the on-off. And I don't understand it. It doesn't make any sense. I feel like it's some antiquated carryover from back when things were analog. And just everybody's left it in there because we can't take it out because it's some unspoken, sacred fucking cow. Just fucking cut it. Well, you're right. I mean, as long as you haven't hit the button, it's not going to turn it on.

And every time you tap the brakes, it's coming off anyways. So why do you need to turn it on the first place? And it's not like it's just going to fucking floor it and hit you eight, it. 88 miles per hour. You might have a point this week. You might have a point this week. It's not something. I've got a point most weeks.

It's not something that necessary, needed anything. I'm not giving you that. Most weeks, you're grasping. Your grasp must start. Heck, one week you jammed like a four-butt bite muffin and just jammed in your face and almost choked on live television. That's because it was a two-byte butt muffin, the little one. Is Karen Schoalter in the States?

Is that where she's coming from? what I'm seeing down at us muscle glasses I don't know just says that it started the episodes and I haven't been able to figure out why or what it means mashup 77 folks

welcome to another week the Ray Bork we were just having this argument about you know with with multiple people but what we were doing Paul Coffey Ray Bork

it came out to be Ray Raymond Bork and I'm going to pull up the stats on why this is so Paul Coffey although I'm present We don't need to talk about

Paul Coffey. We don't know. Paul Coffey is not fucking impressive. Your son's in U-7 right now, right? Paul Coffey. Your son could have played. Your son per game. I'm trying to get to Ray Bork. This episode is supposed to be after. And you're going to call me

on Paul Coffey right now? Are you kidding me? Let's be really fucking clear for a second. 15131 points of 14009 games, plus 298. The guy was impressive. Sean, your son playing U-7 could get on the same line as Gretzky and the Moose, and he would be one of the top 10 points scores of the defense of all time.

I can't believe I'm having this argument. Ray Borg, okay, mashup 77 is officially the Paul Coffee. You screwed it up. You screwed it up. You. This is the effect of twos ranting over me because I was trying to get to Raymond Bork. We're going to just skip it. I'm too late.

Ray Bork, gone. Paul coffee. Number 77, the Paul Coffee of the Tuesday Massif. That's what's happened, because of you, sir, because of you. No. Yes. Now, let's get on to the old Paul Coffee, shall we? Old World Flooring.

You know, even George is like, I bet you if Paul Coffee was one heck of a defenseman, because he was, folks. Old World Flooring, this one's brought to you by Old World Flooring. They're already wishing they could distance themselves from us to Yahoo's when we're arguing about coffee or bork. Maybe. their go-to crew for for tile in Calgary you know leave it to a flames fan to just ruin the start of of this you know your go-to crew for tile in Calgary surrounding regions kitchen backs a new kitchen backs flash handicapped accessible showers they do commercial residential jobs new homes renovations European workmanship attention to detail and I was reading their comments on their website

www.owow.ltd it's pretty simple you know you go there and it's just a little form you can fill out to get in contact with George. And one of the things that you see in their comments is the, look at you trying to mess with things. In the middle of an ad read. Look at what you're doing. You and your little dog-chewed white hat. Oh, my good.

Have I looked at the standings, George? No, I haven't looked at the standings. I realize it's two games in and everything else. I'm trying to get through your ad read, George. And you and twos, I can just see it here, are trying, I'm trying to say that George has a wealth of knowledge, and all the customers are commenting on it that even when things, he walks in, you probably do this, oh, that's a great idea, George.

And they listen, that's what George brings to you. So if you got some Thailand and he's done inside a house, commercial, etc, OWF.ltD, www. OWF.0.0.0.0.LtD. Old world flooring. I got George commenting. I got Toos doing what twos is doing in the back of Look at him. Look at him. He's trying to figure it out and he keeps screwing it up. Stop. Oh my God. We are not a real show right now when you want to know what the live is going to be like. It's going to be like if I choke him out on stage, he finally got it. That's what you're trying to do. I tried a bunch of different things, but that finally worked. Yeah, this is the Bork episode.

The Bork episode. Like all that. That's what he was doing, folks. this is why twos could never produce the show. He's got the Bork episode, you know? Okay. All right. Shall we get on with some other things? Do we want to talk about anything else? Are we going to argue about Raymond Borg?

I just want to be really clear that you could take a fucking chimpanzee, put him on skates, give him a stick, and he would be one of the top all-time scores when he was playing with those fucking Yahoo's from back then. Uh-huh. Okay, bud. Anything else you got to say? Yeah, coffee's overrated. All right. Yeah, he may as well just change his name to Starbucks.

It's a wagon fire. I tell you what, our wagon is on fire and we are cruising. And when coffee used to lay it up. Oh, yeah. From like the 8-1 loss, you guys did your season opener? Was it 6-1? It was 8-1. And then we lost 4-3.

So that's going to be a fun little week. And we are, folks, we got mashup 78 and 77, well, today and the next week. And then it's go time. So I've been working on a news desk for it.

I still got some work to do yet. Called the spice rack. He wants to call it the spice rack. Are you going to tell me why it's called the spice rack? Yeah. Yeah, because I suck at woodworking. You've never seen this before? Is that off Simpsons?

Yes, it's off Simpsons. You can tell by the people underneath that are Simpsons people. Oh, look. Look, there's more Simpsons. Yes, yes. So anyway, this is the spice rack that Homer Belt, and it looks slightly better than what I have. been building it's been bad so anyway hopefully i get my shit together

but in the meantime we're going at the spice rack we're going to we're coming live to you from the spice rack folks you know we try to be a legit show here not kind of like the nDP which are not a serious party but some days i'm like we are an absolutely we are not a serious show though oh my goodness like what a what a way to start out 77 this has just been you know i'm trying to like guide it to the starting line to start your engine and we're just laying spice the spice rack anything else any anything else you got coming out of your side have anything else in the notes start oh oh no that was it psychophants saying emperor has no pants okay here we go the cbcbc has a great responsibility

to not using disparaging terms when describing critics of the federal government um nagler the Wuddsman for the broadcaster offered the advice in a review of submitted the complaint that argued a story on the CBC news website described false information circulating among supporters of the Freedom Convoy according to Blacklock's reporter. Quoted, I will take this opportunity to stress to a programmers at CBC. They assume a great responsibility when they choose to use terms such as misinformation and disinformation in their stories. Nagler wrote in a review titled theory or conspiracy theory. quoted when they do so they had better be right because if it turns out down the road the information proved to be correct they can do great damage to the reputation he said precision is key and costing the use of labels when describing people or groups sometimes it would be safer to say there is no evidence for something rather than proclaiming it to be false nagler wrote nagler added cbc news should reconsider its use of the term far right in stories as well and just stick to the facts just Just stick to the facts.

Interesting. This is the CBC Ombudsman who has basically no teeth, but his job is to try and keep them in line a little bit. I want to see what their response is to, you know, something like this. Are they going to issue corrections on the last 10,000 articles they've written and take out the words alt-right and far-right and extreme right? I am the most politically neutral person I have ever met. I am.

Okay. I'm dead serious. Okay. Should the government? No. Okay, but what if they? No. Okay, but do you think they should?

No. Okay. Do I want bailouts for big corporations? No. Do I want affordable housing? No. Do I want affordable housing as a generic concept? Yes.

But as far as a government program, no. Okay. Do I want no. Should we subsidize EVs? No. Should we subsidize EVs? solar and wind. No. Should we subsidize old companies? Also no.

Okay? Like, no matter should we give money to no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Who should get standing ovations in Parliament? Nobody. That's it. I don't know. That's kind of the basis right there. How about this. Supreme Court surprises separatists. I was shocked. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled Friday against federal

legislation on the environmental effects of major developments, with five out of seven judges finding most of it unconstitutional because it seeks to regulate activities within provincial jurisdictions. Alberta Premier Daniel Smith, whose province challenged the legislation, called it a massive win for provincial rights. She said it gives exclusive provincial jurisdiction to matters such as building new greenhouse gas emitting natural gas power plants. I can't believe that's a part of the article anyways. That's our exclusive right to be able to make decisions on being able to permit and approve those types of projects, she said, where they went so wrong as they presumed to step into our jurisdiction

to make decisions that fall completely 100% within Alberta's borders. They should stop trying to micromanage our affairs. However, federal environment minister Stephen Gobot said the court's opinion doesn't strike down the law and won't change how federal assessment have been conducted. He said the government has been cautious in its application. When applying this act, we have tried to ensure we stayed within the federal heads of power, we will certainly continue to do that. He said, what the Supreme Court seems to suggest is that the act is too broad in certain respects,

and we need to tighten that. We will work to do that in the coming months. Yeah, so it's kind of, I don't really give a fuck what you think. We're going to find a way to get this through. Funny thing is, you know how the Senate's supposed to be the sober second thought, you know, when bills get passed, they're supposed to look at them and determine their worthiness, their applicability, their pretent. constitutionality.

The last time the Senate actually said, no, a bill is not going to pass. It was like 92, 93, something like that. We've literally got a whole fucking generation with that entire roomful of people making stupid amounts of money, getting ridiculous pensions, travel expenses, shit like that. And they haven't done a single fucking thing in a generation. I'm really surprised, though, at the Supreme Court. because it's been fairly well established that it's more or less just stacked with people

who have the interests of the Laurentians at heart, right? I think that's not really an extreme statement by any means. And even though these people are on the side of the liberals, fairly vehemently, this bill sucked so fucking much and it was so far past the purview and beyond the pale and out of the realm of possibility that they still were like, guys, guys, we can't do this.

It's just too bad. It's too bad. When the people on your side have to actually stand up and do their fucking job for once, that's how bad this bill was. On a side note, wasn't Morgan Anderson in Mexico last week? Well, she said, or he, I'm not sure which one of them in the picture it is.

Morgan, are you a guy or a girl? That might not tell you which one on the picture it is. but um dude it's 2023 sorry which which one do you identify with are you the blonde or the beard uh yeah um they were in mexico last week were they not unta cana is that what they said yes

never mind i guess they've been there for how long you stand anyways okay i don't know but checking in again not everything not everything with a Spanish name is in fucking Mexico okay okay okay easy does it oh easy does it there, white hat. Okay, all right, here we go. Sandy Palm says, and the EA, EA Act, the Senate was going to strike it down. That's why JT stepped back. That's what it seemed like. Oh, boy. Yeah. No, Toos has me so wound tight to start this thing. I just can't even find the buttons right now.

New Zealand ruling party goes down and under. Conservative former businessman Christopher Luxon will be New Zealand's next prime minister after winning a decisive election victory Saturday. People voted for change after six years of liberal government led for most of the time by Jacinda Ardern. The exact makeup of Luxem's government is still to be determined as ballots continue to be counted. With all the regular votes counted, Luxon's National Party hold, party got 39% of the vote under New Zealand's proportional voting system, Luxon 53 plans to form an alliance with the Libertarian Act party. While, the Labor Party that Hipkins led got just 27% of the vote, a little over half of the proportion it got in the last election under Ardern.

And Davin-Fararar, a long-time conservative pollster, said there was a good chance that labor would end upholding the seat once all votes were counted. However, he said his initial impression of voting throughout the country was that it was turning out to be a bloodbath for the left. Bloodbath for the left. I thought that was quite the comment in a newspaper clipping. You didn't pick up on the fact that they're doing because New Zealand has, I want to say, proportional representation. So you've got the riding seats and then there's a bunch of other seats that go based on the amount of the popular vote you get. And so because of that, they get more, they get more interesting viewpoints than just first pass the post does, which generally lends itself to a two-party system, like the United States, for example. or with the NDP not being a serious party and the block being regional Canada basically is that.

And so he's doing a coalition. They needed 121 seats for a majority and they get 61 because he had 50, if I recall correctly. And then 11 seats are held by the Libertarian Party of New Zealand. It's not called that though. It's called something else. And so they're doing a coalition. Now, how cool would it be to have a libertarian party? being the...

Literally, the act party. I brought that up. Plans the Forman Alliance with the Libertarian Act party. Oh, sorry. I was reading some comments and I must have missed it. I apologize.

That's all right. All right. Yes. And Morgan, by the way, is calling out the fact that you seem to think that Punticaana is... Yes, I called it.

That's what I did. Okay. So she's saying, I am the girl, the one I identify as in the blonde. Okay, fair. Putticana, but I keep saying Mexico. I just thought Mexico was in my brain.

That's all I was thinking. All right, folks? You know that Madrid is also not in Mexico, right? Thanks, Tews. Hey? Thanks. Okay. You know.

In Puerto Rico? Thanks for giving it. No, I said, Mexico. If I didn't have given, if I hadn't given him enough to go with already, he just keeps, he's insufferable this week. Like, he comes on, he's like, I'm kind of sick. I'm, you know, my hair's all over. He's whining like a little.

Mm-hmm. And instead now he's pushing on the buttons. All right. Carry on. Whatever. New Zealand, cool to see that they've... The tides are turning. Tides are turning.

Yeah. I mean, I think that's pretty cool. I mean, just send to our durn. Like, in the middle of it all, we were sitting here going like, this is getting bizarre. We watched her leave and... Yeah, like, how many teeth is she going to have by the end of this? Is Canada leaving the UN? Okay.

So this is interesting with Pierre Poliath. I don't have it pulled up yet, folks. Now I got to... I tell you what, guys. Sean could never be the producer of this show. Okay, now play it from the start. You want to play it from the start? Or not.

Sure. Yep. Play. Claiming they will ensure, none of that will go to aiding Hamas. If your party is to form government, will you commit to ending funds to the Hamas linked unrah organization? We will end all foreign aid to terrorists, dictators, and wasteful multinational bureaucracies.

One of my first actions as Prime Minister will be to carry out a full review of every dollar we send out of this country to make sure that we stop giving money to terrorists, dictators, and useless Marxist international bureaucracies. that will be at the top of my foreign policy list. We're going to bring our money home to Canada and take care of our people in this country. All right. There you go. Here's the thing. I don't think anybody really picked up on this.

I don't know why everybody isn't talking about this. Can you think of one more wasteful international bureaucracy? When you say wasteful international bureaucracy, what do you think of? I think of the UN or WF. Or not WF. I think of the UN. World Health Organization. World Health as well.

Right? Yeah. Okay. And then you say useless Marxist bureaucracy or international Marxist bureaucracy or whichever was his second one, which seemed to be talking about the same thing. Are we going to stop funding the UN? Is that what he just promised?

It kind of sounds like it. It sounds a lot like it. This is, did Polly have, suddenly start listening to the mashup? I was like, oh, actually, you know, these guys are kind of dicks. We should stop sending the money. I don't know how many people listen to us to Yahoo's go back and forth.

I'm sure, I don't know, man. There's a lot of, like, some of it's kind of hilarious. I mean, maybe they got a couple people listening. Honestly, like, what else could he be talking about in this? instance other than the UN, the World Health Organization. Well, right there, Heather Tepin, I just signed a petition calling for Canada to leave the UN initiative by Dr. Leslin Lewis. And, you know, like honestly, Leslie and Lewis is badass.

She, uh, she steers right into everything we're all talking about. And to know that's in the conservative, you know, sitting, sitting beside him and in different meetings. That's what it sounded like to me too. It sounded like he was like we're going to get rid of, you know, everyone's going, why are we sending billions everywhere and not taking care of what the heck's going on here and we're like sinking like, you know. And there's hardly any visibility on it. And the little bit you do get, there's so much money that we send a places that don't even have national debt. Or if they do, it's the equivalent of a couple hundred dollars a person. Like Nigeria a couple years ago had the equivalent national debt of $250 per person.

And we send them, I don't know, it was like $9 million or something like that. Like we've got we've got way more debt per person. They should be sending us money. Ethiopia has no debt per person. Send us money. All these other countries that have way better balance sheets than we do. Why are we sending the money? Why are we living off credit?

And they're in the black. And we're still sending them. money. They should be sending us money. And to be clear, I don't think anybody should be sending anybody money. Figure your own shit out. But if money was going to go in one direction, it should be this way and not that way. Union leader doubles down on Middle Eastern War. Man, if this, this is, this guy has been getting some some air time on the old mashup, you know, first it was, it was, uh, it was the LGBT Q2SLIA plus. Do they get that right? I don't No, it doesn't matter.

The I in that is now stands for Israel and the P stands for Palestine. Correct. Updated it. Yeah. Yes. So Ontario Labor Minister David Puccini is taking one of the provinces of union leaders to ask over comments and social media posts about Israel. Puccini sent a letter to Coupie, Ontario President Fred Hahn, who you may remember

kind of looks like some crazy cartoon character from like. Yeah, he does. He looks like a character from like Pinocchio. He's got like a weird like look to him. Like if Geppetto smoked crack. You know, I bet you if you put that into AI, they'd come out with some great shots. They'd just show you the picture of this fucking guy.

Yeah, probably. President Fred Hahn, who has faced criticism for his social media posts over the weekend. In the wake of brutal Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, Han posted supportive comments on X. No, you cannot make this up. In one post, he said, resistance is fruitful and no matter what, some might say resistance brings progress. Well, in another post, he posted a graphic with the slogan,

from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. That slogan is called a wipe out the state of Israel and is wildly considered anti-Semitic. They like to say that about everything we say. And then Puccini was commented as saying, quote it as saying, it is unacceptable for anyone, especially the head of a major union in Ontario to support glorifying the persecution and murder of innocent Jewish people,

As Han faced blowback on social media for his comments, he posted again that he couldn't believe anyone believe he would support violence. For anyone to imagine that I would have ever endorsed violence is horrific to me. It speaks volume in both the times we're in. I've spent my adult life fighting for justice for workers, building power and solidarity for working people to resist

to win better. Han posted, I've never celebrated violence hoping for people to be free is not violence, Han said. And then the final comment in there was, no, but posting celebratory words and images in the wake of that terror attack is showing support for violence. How could Han not think he was supporting this brutality, giving his posts and the timing? Yeah, the kinds of boron.

Here's the thing, is that a union leader's public comments as a union leader should start and stop with worker benefits. So unless he's trying to get Hamas to ratify a workers' agreement, under Palestine where they can have, you know, the collective bargaining and, you know, get things like sick days for suicide bombers. And, um, and the paratroopers, um, you know, have their, have their parachutes funded for them so that they don't have to bring their own in. And, and maybe everybody gets an extra few hundred rounds of ammunition every year or something like that. Like that's the kind of stuff that that's the only thing you could possibly say is a union later that would make a lick of sense. And it's incredibly farcego on its own. Sick, sick days for suicide bombers?

Yeah, I'm probably better medical benefits too, right? You got to make sure you got good teeth. The NDP threw a serious party. Delegates at the new, well, actually, you know what, while I'm here, I'm just going to play this on repeat so that people can see as the cops go racing in. So delegates to the new Democratic Convention have made Pharmacare the red line in their deal with the liberals saying they will withdraw their support if the minority government doesn't adhere to their demands. The confidence and supply agreement requires the government to table legislation on pharmacare framework by the end of the year

in exchange for the NDP's support on key votes in the House of Commons. On Saturday, the party unanimously passed a non-binding emergency resolution that says they will cut the deal if pharmacare isn't universal and entirely a public program. The reality is liberals only act when new Democrats forced them. That's how we got Medicare. And that's who we're going to win Pharmacare as well, said Singh, in his keynote address prior to his leadership review. An expert panel appointed by the liberals recommended in 2019 that a universal single-payer public pharmacare system should be created in Canada to replace the current patchwork of prescription and drug plans.

A first draft, a version of the Liberals Pharmacill bill was rejected by the new Democrats last week. as the clock ticks with less than two months left in the current parliamentary sitting. And then, of course, the video that's on current replay, this is what happened at their, at their, what am I looking? What's the word I'm looking for here, Tews? This is their annual convention, okay? And this didn't get crashed by a bunch of anarchists or anything like that. This is their own people just stirring up shit.

And so they called up the police, the very people that they wanted to fund to come in and save them. other thing you didn't point out from that article is that the party is on track to retire its 2021 election debt by next year. Okay. A year before the next election, they're going to finally square the books. Okay. These guys are broke as fuck. You ever wonder why they keep supporting the liberals? Okay. It's because they can't afford to do another election. And they're tanking the polls anyway. Their message stinks. They passed a non-binding emergency resolution. Can you think of anything more pointless. Just for context.

It was pro-Palestine people that went into their convention. They were pro-Palestine, NDP people who were there. Four of the people got booted out of the party for supporting their own. Yeah, like they

weren't just interlopers. These were part of the party. Okay? And it was funny. Actually, I don't know if you saw this or not. Did you see that that pro-Palestine woman being interviewed with the AK-47 earrings? No, I did not. Oh, those are the kind of thing that would actually be pretty cool

if it wasn't for the fact that they've just become the teaky torches of Palestine. But anyway, yeah, so just the NDP are a shit show. They continue to be a shit show. And there's always something fun to talk about in terms of how stupid and pointless they are. Every time we think we're going to get rid of, uh, get rid of them, they seem to just, uh, well, they can't go. anywhere because they're broke. Mash up ahead of the curve.

Again. This seems like a common little thread here, twos, I might say. Well, I don't know. I kind of like to chew our own horn when I feel like this is deserved. Well, this is deserved because we literally just talked about this. We talked about this and then the story

broke two days later with no new information. And then what we're talking about is despite the federal government's claims that the embassy in Israel was operational, operational. A new report confirms it was, in fact, close as Canadians sought help during. And I don't know why I'm laughing. I'm just like traveling because we literally talked about this a week ago. We covered this on Monday and we broke down how the official narrative was bullshit and how if it's open in Tel Aviv,

why are they giving you an Ottawa area? On Ottawa number. Right? So the attacks began on Saturday and on Thanksgiving weekend, which we were pointing out, Outside of the normal business hours, many Canadians turn to emailing Global Affairs Canada after being unable to visit or reach officials at the embassy in Tel Aviv. And so in the middle of all these terror attacks, you have your embassy, nobody can get, nobody can.

So you're trapped. So you're calling Canada for help. But the official government response is, oh, yes, we're definitely open. It's operational. We're definitely open. Call this number. Don't look up where it is. Just call it.

Right. And so we were the first people to, to the best of my knowledge, to point this out, this news article broke two days after the mashup covered it. I can't argue with you on that. The whole point of technology is to delegate jobs people don't want to do. And I just can read the headline because I read the story. The story was kind of fun. The guy was pretty good.

AI is coming. George R.R. Martin is suing the makers of chat GPT after a fan used it finish the final two books of a song of ice and fire. Okay. So, I mean, he has zero interest in finishing the books. How many people we got out there, the Game of Thrones fans that have actually read the books or just watched TV. Multiple times, multiple times read the books.

There you go. So are you excited for Chad GPT to finish? I want to read the Chat GPT books because George R. Martin shows no signs of ever finishing. this. He's a high calorie human, so he's probably going to die soon. And he has explicitly said that he does not want anybody to posthumously

complete this story. So if he dies, that's it. No one ever gets to find out. So why do you think he what do you think he's hung up on? It's probably just all over, like it was a popular series, but it was a niche series. And then all of a sudden, you're just doing

this thing, you're going along, and it blows up and it becomes the biggest thing on the fucking planet for years. And then there's there's all these expectations and this this sort of like, what if I don't do it exactly perfectly? And the guy is a genius. Like these, these are literally the best books you're ever going to read. Okay.

But there's, there's all this. If he was just some medium successful author, right? Um, like he, he did another book about, some planet on a long parabolic curve around the earth.

And you know what I mean? And so, I mean, he's done other stuff that isn't great. He wrote Beauty and the Beast back in the 80s with the chick from Sarah Connor, Linda Hamilton. Okay. That show she was in. He used to write for that.

He's done some other stuff and some of it's kind of been okay. Yeah, but then he just starts knocking it out of the, exactly, right? And so now he's looking at it like, fuck, what if I don't get this exactly right. What if this isn't perfect? What if it isn't amazing? Okay. And I think he's just all twisted up in his own head. And it's going to be easier to just be like, okay, because the other thing is that the ends of series tend to suck, right? When everything gets wrapped up in a neat little bow, it's kind of hard to do it in a way that isn't

underwhelming because I don't know, the main, the protagonists have overcome so much adversity that they're so amazing at that point that it's just an uninteresting fight, generally speaking at the ends of these series. Like even Wheel of Time, and I'm probably going to get some hate for this, but I mean, at least the show isn't fucking horrible. Okay, but the last couple books, not great, not great at all.

And Brandon Sanderson's written some great things, right? there's that other series he did that that was medieval and then went into the Wild West afterwards. Awesome, right? But the last couple wheel of time books? Yeah. Right? So it's hard to wrap these things up tight. There's all this expectation.

I'm pretty sure he's just going to die because it's easier to do than to not live up to all this expectation. So I actually want to, I want to get a hold of these chat GPT books and read them because they're all we're ever going to see. It's the only satisfying conclusion. I have a hope of it.

this point because you know it's funny like like the the other series i think of that wasn't finished while it got uberly pop or popular was um was harry potter like j k rolling had like she had i don't think she finished the books when they got no no she hadn't and yet like she finished it and was phenomenal and i'm like how like the movies were already coming out but by the time she finished because she told Snape like, shoot, what's his name? From Diehard. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hans Gruber. Sure. He was in a lady in the highwayman. He's been in, or, or, or Robin Hood, Prince of the Eves. Yeah, anyway. I just go, like, how can you be that brilliant and not be able to put a bow on it and just finish it? Like, that must drive him nuts to have, like, his project sitting there, not finished, not

done, just hanging over him, like, oh, Alan Rick. Is that his name? Yeah, that's who I was trying to think of. Thank you, Jamie. Nice dabs. Yeah, I just, I look at it and I'm like, man, what a painful or a deal to be. Because, like, can you imagine if Harry Potter came out and it ended on book six and it just never? I would go insane.

So I feel your pain. I guess I watched the TV show. I started reading the books. They were fantastic. For whatever reason I got in the show. I thought the TV show and you're probably going to be like, you're wrong. And I'm like, that's fine. You are.

But the TV show was. I don't even know where you're going with this. It was phenomenal. Okay, it was. And I just literally went like this. Right up until past the books. I was part of the books. Sure.

I was like literally in whatever book and I was like, you know what? I'm tired of this. I'm going to watch this because this is phenomenal TV. And they did such a great job until the last season. Such great job. It was fantastic. It started dropping off a couple seasons before that. There was two things that I absolutely hated about the series, even while it was really

good. One of them was, I think it was in season two, the Battle of Blackwater, where Tyrion went to every single metal smith in the city and had them building the big links and the big chain links and nobody knew what the hell it was for. And then it was his genius that trapped all the ships in there in the bay with that chain going across the mouth of the harbor so that they could all be burned. And nobody ever knew that it was him that had basically saved the city. with this little bit of genius that he'd been taking hell for the whole book. Why are you doing this? You're wasting so much money. You're an idiot. You're just this little imp. Get out of here, right?

And then, oh, oh, actually, it ended up being really, really right. And then the other thing was that when the, shoot, Martel, when he fought the mountain. Come to Tuesday mash up Paul Coffey, where we talk lower the rings. No, no, we'll move. We'll cover it some other week.

Let's keep moving. game I'm not upset all right gay pride tape is a sticky issue I didn't enjoy this article so this is all I took from it okay this oh yeah yeah this is this is our fucking sucks dude yeah this was the Toronto star in June when Batman addressed the end of special jerseys in warm-ups he said players who chose choose to model them can do that it's really just the question of what's on the ice it's it was similar to major league baseball which took pride logos off uniforms during games in the name of protecting players who didn't want to wear them. Basically, this guy railroads Batman is being out of touch

and trying to be inclusive and not being inclusive. But I think most hockey fans are, you know, it sucks that they don't get to wear all these different things because it was cool if it's, you know, Army Night or whatever. But what they're doing is they're taking the politics out of hockey. So it can just be hockey. Here's? It's not a, it's an imperfect response. The best response would just be the lineup.

every single historic jersey the army one the gay pride one the I don't know the black face one if you're playing in Ottawa whatever the hell right any all of them you just you just line it up and you just be like look you got 50 jersees you can pick from at the start of every game we don't give a shit

fill your boots sure right and then if you feel like doing gay pride you do gay pride and if you feel like one that brings awareness to fighting cancer. You can do that. And if they've got one for diabetes, sure, right? And if they've got one for alien abductions.

Could we get a Tuesday mashup jersey in there? What do you think it might look like, Sean? Well, we could show off a little bit of this. Could it look like that? It could look like that. What else might it look like, Sean? Oh, that's sharp. I think I'm going to get one of those.

So if you come to, you know, what a way to wrap up a, this has been, well, we got happy news still. But, you know, if you come to Lumsden, Bradwell, Irma, well, supplies last, there is going to be some Tuesday mashup shirts. Everybody's been asking for them. What better reason to get out of the house and come to one of those locations, eh? When do I get a Tuesday Massachusetts? Here's calling. Finally. I know people have been asking,

people have been asking for these for a while. And I think as much as it would have been great to get some out sooner, these are worth the weight. These are pretty good. I don't even know if we ever need to design another t-shirt in our lives. Oh, I'm sure we'll have some issues and we'll have to redesign something. But here's the cool thing. If you come to the shows, while they last,

they're going to be live on location. These are going to be, These are getting made specifically for October. For the world tour. Where's the chicken fighting the tone air shirt? It's coming. Jamie, it's coming, all right? It's coming.

It's coming. Anyways. People are fired up about Tuesday mashup shirts. And if you're not watching, that's too bad. Now you're really going to have to come to one of the locations to see what they're all about. All right. Up, Squash, Creek. You want to talk about the happy news this week there, good sir?

Well, this whole thing got thrown at me about 20 minutes ago. Well, actually about 20 minutes before I sat down. So like two hours ago. And somebody had mentioned that there was a guy in Ontario who was trying to beat some record by paddling a pumpkin down a river. And then I Googled it. I couldn't find it. But I found this one from last week, or not even last week.

It was like four days ago. where a man from Lebanon. So, I mean, I know everything's about the Middle East right now, but this is Lebanon, Missouri is, you floated down the Missouri River and a giant pumpkin. Steve Cooney traveled 39 miles and a 1,200-pound gourd to break the previous record of 38 miles. So apparently this is some kind of like a thing,

like drag racing, but pumpkin. Squash style. Yeah, and so everybody around the world is trying to just slow, just they don't want to just blow the records right out of the water it seems like this slight one up it so that they can just be a little bit better and then the next person still can do it and the next person still can do it and I feel like maybe it's just this crazy underground thing this is like blood support for horticulturalists and I just want to learn more about it yeah all I could think of is as hardly used to tell a story when he was back

living in Australia one of the guys he lived with or friends of his they used to drink box wine and so what he did was he created we can get that in Canada He created a raft out of all the box wine. Like he just re-inflated the bags? Yes, and then built a little raft out of it and took it out into like, I can't remember. Those are hefty bags. I can remember it was the ocean or it doesn't matter. It does matter because the ocean is a pretty big place.

I don't know. I'll bug him about it. You bug him about it. Did he ever get that bottle of whiskey that I left for him? I don't know, did he? No, probably not. I don't know. You're looking at it?

I don't know. I mean sober. October. I'm day, what is it? Day 16 today, twos. Oh, you look great. Your skin is just and your hair. I can't tell if it's the garlic or the sobriety, yeah. Sobriety. It's coming through the hair follicles. It's really shiny tonight, you know. If you're in the Lloydman's, okay, with the wrap of 777, this is a shorter one, 46 minutes, man, and we argued for like 20 minister. We didn't talk about a whole lot today. There was, all there was this week

in the news was just Israel Palestine, Israel Palestine, Israel Palestine, Israel, Palestine. And basically, if, you've got a definitive stance on this one way or the other, you're probably being a bit of a dick. I actually watched a little CNN today. Why? Because I was out at the farm

and my mom had it on, and it was about CNN. And I was like, I got... Does you know that you have a news show? I like literally sat and watched it for like five minutes. I'm like, I got to turn this off. This is, this is, this isn't, anyways. They were, yeah, it was, what,

they had a, they had a live news conference in New York City, and they were showing all the cities in the United States that had the largest Jewish populations. And I was like, and they were talking about the United States have no place for anti-sum, and I'm just like, what is happening? Well, they could come over to the NDP. There seems to be plenty of room there. Um, okay.

Yeah, well, I mean, here's, here's the thing, real quick. this Sean brings up a really good point that I should have beat him too but didn't I wonder what's actually going on when all they report on is the new war and here's the thing. These are the people that have made it very clear that they're okay with lying

to you about anything and everything over the past several years. So how much of it do you want to believe? I don't know what the right answer is and I don't even know I've never been there the whole fucking place may not even exist. That's how little trust I have in the media. It exists. Have you been there?

My parents have. Your mom watches CNN. We can't trust her. All right. If you're in the Lloydminster area next Friday and you can make it to Irma, Mark Friesen is going to be at the Arch Church talking about Soji. That probably just got us removed from every platform, that word, and a couple other things, smart cities.

Well, what if you were talking about the mayor of Edmonton? Sure. Yep, we're talking about the mayor of Emerton. That's what we're talking about. Talking about the Mayor of Edmonton. The Grizzly Patriot, Mark Frieson, he's going to be in Lloyd Minster. He ran for the PPC. He did.

And he's going to be talking at the Arch Church. That's Friday at 7 p.m. October 27th. Now, that is one thing. Of course, if you're listening to this show, certainly, and if you can't make it to Irma, Albert Hall, will be there as well. If you want one of those fancy teas, bring your dollars. If you're coming to Irma, make sure you bring money for donations for the family. All the proceeds, all the beer sales going there. If you're going to either Lumsden or Bradwell, you do not need tickets.

It is first come, first serve, jam that place full. It's going to be a fun, tight little packed venue. What else can I say? Donations, we'll take donations because, I mean, we're not charging to get in. Just come, have fun. If you want to make a donation, you want to buy a shirt. All that's great.

It's appreciated. Anything else? You just want to drink beer? That's okay, too. That's okay, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And... Have you decided on Substack versus Petrion?

Yeah, it looks like... It looks like it's going to be Substack. Okay. I haven't had... I don't know if I've had a single person defend Patreon. How wild is that? It's not. They're fucking horrible.

Well, I guess so. I have a Patreon, by the way. Nobody's... Nobody's doing it. I don't do anything with it at all, ever. You know, like, I got in all the world for Tom Longo and me and him had a conversation, and he stills on Patreon.

But it's funny, like, people have been getting booted off of it so they can't get their payments through. And you're like, no, no, no, that's like Jordan Peterson say too much and you get booted off. This is like people want to pay money to Patreon, and their credit cards won't work, they get booted off, and on and on it goes. and you're like, this is strange.

So, yeah, it looks like Substack. Have they tried paying the bills? It looks like Substack is going to be where it's coming. All right. We're targeting either the end of October, end of November. We'll see. But the plan is to get off Patreon, move everything over to Substack, which means paywall coming to Substack and all the content from Patreon.

Can you have levels of payroll in Substack? Can you put out free stuff and within the paywall? Yes, you can. For sure you can. Yeah. So, no worries. There's going to be. free stuff, but there's also going to be a one-stop shop then.

Yes, it can. Less URLs to navigate. Correct. Won't that be fun? Yeah. Cool. Well, folks, we were going, we were going to, hey, sweet, sweet. There you go.

We were going to call it the Ray Bork, you know, but it is now the coffee, the Ray coffee. Because at only 51 minutes, it came up short. We'll see you next week, too. To all you lovely people out there, we'll catch up to you on the next one. 78. And we hope to see you somewhere along the tour next week because that's, it's coming very, very, very, very fast. And I can't wait to be at the, what are we calling it? The Pepperstack.

The World Tour? No, the what now? Oh, the spice rack. It's the spice rack. Can't wait to be coming live from the spice rack. Yeah. Anyways, until then, folks. I think that, butumbum was about my awesome clincher joke regarding Paul coffee,

or at least my latest awesome clincher joke regarding Paul coffee. Would you like me to keep going? Would you like me to just keep talking about this? Should I, should I, should I? Thanks for tuning in, folks. That's going to be the end of it. We'll catch you next week.
