Damn reason. I have been getting the stress group. Three full-size bumps this morning. And then I was thinking about how Nick von Dobbs was on Sean's show last week. And he was talking about how he does the same thing before his show. And in what same world is this an evolutionary stress response? You're being chased by a saber-tooth tiger.

Hold on, I got to drop a deuce. Oh, oh, there's some giant volcano spewing. It's a towards me and I need to run away. Well, you know, it might just help me run a tiny bit faster maybe. I just, it doesn't make a lick of sense. Why in the fuck would evolution do this to us? It's the worst idea. It's had in a very long time since, since we decided to get out of the water.

Basically, this is that. Week 78 would begin with talking a little bit about shit. Wouldn't it? Here's a couple of comments off the last. weeks okay you know we've been getting praised for quite some time we might as bring ourselves back down to earth okay I say these because twos have been struck in traffic for four hours folks we could mash of 78 brought to you by old world floor and we're gonna let twos get to that in just one second but

since he's talking about shit here we go here's the ship flying from last week here's a pure pure blood says a very annoying mashup I'm only eight minutes in don't know if I can continue listening you both bickering like children get your shit together gentlemen that was off last week and I love Whiskey 602, said more substance and less wasting silly trash talking each other should be in your future to up your game. So they didn't like the old banter rate at the start. You know?

Well, we hadn't really planned on bantering. It's just that you were being an asshole and I was calling you on it. Well, that's the way it goes some weeks, folks. You know, anyways. Two's, old world flowing. Old warring. Gary, Cappoitsia. Serving Calgary an area.

And I got him. Sean's never done this because Sean never thought to do anything like this because it's just a really good idea. I got him to send me a few pictures. Here's what some of his stuff looks like. Look at this. This stuff is gorgeous.

Look at the ceiling lighting of the shelf in the shower. There, there's this one. Look at the tile work. Look at that in the background. It's absolutely gorgeous. They haven't even put a sink in. yet and that's the nicest bathroom i've ever seen in my life look at this look at that work this is the

kind of stuff you get from all the world flooring serving calgaryan area and you can look at them up on ofw dot ltd and thanks very much for sponsoring a month of the mashup george and i inhaled a fly a flyer something i'm dying over here but uh beautiful pictures beautiful pictures i'm telling you you I've been to George's house and you walk in and the first thing you're seeing is like you're like what is going on in this place and why have I never seen anything quite like this before that's what I keep saying like if you want something that you know when people come over they're like what is this that's old world for that's what you want that's what you want now I just got to try and find a way to lure Georgia up to Lloydminster in the coming year to uh offer some of his

handiwork to possibly a new studio. Oh. Just saying. I should have got him to help me out with that desk. The old spice rack. Coming live to you tomorrow night in Lumsden, Saskatchewan, folks. We'll get more to that. We'll get to that at the end.

How's that? We'll talk about it at the end. Yep. Shall we get right into it after we got just... Apparently, apparently nobody likes it as bantering. You know, that's just no fun, hey? No fun. Pure blood. All right. Well, here we go, folks. Let's get right into it, shall we?

Quebec sides with the rest of Canada on Quebec independence. An independent Quebec would have its own currency and peacekeeping-style army, the leader of the party, Quebecwa, said Wednesday. This issue came up at a news conference where he was discussing the current international political situation. St. Pierre Plemondin answered yes when asked if an independent Quebec would have its own foreign policy, which prompted a question about an army, to which he also said yes. Although if he's looking at Canada's army, I mean, me and twos at this point could have our own army

and probably outpace what the Canadian Army is doing. No? Historically no, currently yes. Yes, yes. Historically, no, nobody wants to mess with that army. But right now, I feel like our listenership, you toss Chuck and Jamie at the top of it, and I tell you what, we're outmaging anything

that Canada has to do with any of it. them on their own. Yes. I feel like they could single-handedly decide a few wars. I just whichever way we feel like Ukraine and Russia should go because nobody really cares anymore. Zelensky got dumped like Taylor Swift, but like 500 times harder than all of her 500 times combined.

Yeah, if we need some quick resolution of that, just Chuck Jamie, make a call, figure it out. I'm excited to meet Jamie tomorrow. Is it going to be a fun night in Lumsden? Just saying. The Globe and Mail, the second article on Quebec said the latest instance of Lago's contempt was Friday's announcement that the Coalition Avenue, Quebec provincial government would increase tuition fees for out-of-provinced students studying in Quebec from around nine grand from an undergraduate full-time student to $17,000. The move will mainly hit three English-speaking universities in the province, McGill and Concordia, Montreal, and Bishops in Lenoxville.

They have a proven remarkably successful in attracting the best and brightest from the rest of Canada. Probably not anymore if it costs double to go there, just saying. Inflation, man. Why the hell is the premier of fucking Quebec deciding what tuition rates are at universities? Do you think maybe we've got too much government on all levels when he can just go in and go, ha, ha. Les double. Sounds like a cheeseburger.

I take it, le double. Do, do. Progressive's pensive pertaining to proposed pension pullout. Employment minister Randy Besagnan, says, while Alberta is legally allowed to withdraw from the Canada's pension plan, doing so would be a one-way ticket with no chance of return. Alberta's UCP has been mulling over the idea of leaving the CPP and forming its own pension plan since 2020. But Premier Daniel Smith recently took the next step by releasing a report about a plan to do so and saying public feedback would determine the need for a referendum.

Smith and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have since gone back and forth this week about the possible move. In an open letter to Smith, Trudeau wrote that Alberta's withdrawal would weaken the pensions of millions of seniors and hardworking people in Alberta and right across the country. The harm it would cause is undeniable. Smithfire back calling the Prime Minister's letter, inappropriate in tone. It was overwrought, she added. The calculation, as a report suggests, yes, there will be some impact to the rest of Canada.

If Alberta, it choose to go its own way, but it's a matter of $170.5 per person two's. Not a big freaking deal. Of course, here's the letter. If anyone wants to read it, tomorrow or Wednesday, I have Marty Up North on. We're going to read the letter off in entirety. It's a whole bunch of mumbo-jumbo.

and speaking of Marty, here's Marty up north, talking about what Pierre Poliav had to say on it, and this is what Pierre Poliav did have to say, he said in his first public comments on Alberta's proposal to withdraw from the Canada Pension plan, conservative leader Pierre Pollyov says that Alberta's are seeking to get some of their money back and says I encourage Alberta to stay in the CPP. The vision today on the CPP is entirely the result of Justin Trudeau attacking the Alberta economy, his unconstitutional anti-development laws, painful carbon taxes have forced Albertans to look for ways to get some of their money back. Poliarev said, Marty Up North told him to all vote liberal just to accelerate the demise of Canada. If Pierre doesn't quickly reverse his stance on pension, carbon tax, net zero, and other ideological driven positions, respect Alberta or fuck off.

That comes from Marty up north. And well put, Marty. This is what you and I have talked about a few times over the past couple of years, where when the rubber meat, the road, does Pollyette care about what's best for Canada in general, Alberta, or is he just going to side with the east? And him, he could have taken a stance that said something along the lines of Alberta is contributing disproportionately high amounts into the Canada pension plan and other countries or other provinces are taking more out, which is mathematically correct. There's there's no disputing this unless you're the CBC panel which has no fucking idea how it's run

which was covered up it was that same idiot panel of Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal talking about Alberta again that we've talked about a bunch of times and they actually had no idea how it was ran and I don't know maybe that ombudsman we were talking about the other week might get them to figure their shit out. but why even have people talking about it if they don't know how it works? So anyway, Alberta does contribute more than they get out. And nobody's disputing that. The only dispute is how much more, okay?

And so the fair thing would be to say, all right, well, what can we do to write the ship on this? What can we do to make this more equitable? There's that fancy word. how about we just quit fucking over an entire province every way possible year after year. I don't like it, too. Instead, he's like, oh, it's just because Trudeau is a dick. That's why they want to leave the pension.

No, this predates Trudeau. It's going to be going on long after Trudeau. And Pollyev apparently cares more about winning than doing a good job of representing the people. He's playing the game, man. He's playing the game. He's literally playing the game. And that's the thing.

He's playing the game. Everybody's all excited about him because he's not playing that game. No, everybody's all excited about him because he ate an apple and looked like a total badass. And we're going to get to that. He did. He did. And now he's just pandering to more of the people. He's just pandering to it.

That's all he's doing. He's just playing the game. If I fuck over this small group of people, we're going to lose a few votes that aren't going to matter because they're still going to vote for me anyway. And it's going to win me a bunch of votes over here. So, hey, let's fuck over those people. It's the same strategy that she used. It's the same strategy that O'Toole used. And it's going to keep happening as long as it keeps working.

I go back to Marty Upnors tweet about voting liberal and like bring this on. I've had more and more people with that sentiment. That's a scary thought because I'm like, oh, imagine liberals getting in because we vote for them back in just so we can speed up this exit. Why is that a bad thing? Because of the pain that comes before the exit. Do you want to tear the band-a band-a-band-ed off faster? It's fair. I just go like, oh, like I just, oh, what a painful ordeal we'd put ourselves through

in having Trudeau for another five years. Like, whoa. Yeah, but at the end of that five years, Canada would be so irrevocably fucked that you could have Western Canada rising from the ashes. and the rest of it just forever wallowing in the bullshit that they've created for themselves. Which, I mean, if that's what they want to do, that's fine. Here's the thing is, like, if San Francisco wants to go out of its way to placate the homeless people at the detriment of everybody else that's trying to live there.

Sure, right? If they want to vote for that, then go right ahead. Go right ahead. You want that? You can have it, right? Right. I don't live there. I don't need to decide what goes on in San Francisco. I don't need to decide what goes on Toronto, okay?

I just care about me locally. And we've always got these people who live thousands of fucking miles away from us telling us how we should live and what we should do. And if they think that that's best for them, have at it. But just don't drag me down with you. Murray asked, why does it have to take five years to exit? Because it's going to take longer than you think, Murray. This isn't something that just,

happens overnight. It just doesn't. The way out's through, man. The rate, right now with the pension plan, they're talking about seeing if they can get a referendum. And if they get a referendum, then they have to put that through to, like, this is, this is a plan that, like, how long does it take to get out of the pension plan? Is it, is it four years? I imagine, I imagine that because we all think, the way all these articles are like, oh, we're getting out of the pension plan. It's happening tomorrow. It's like, that's, folks, we have to have a referendum. And they're starting to put a panel together about having a referendum. This government machine is going to take four years at least to just figure this shit out.

No, I'm thinking another year and a half at best, right? Okay. Year and a half at best. Okay. Because here's the thing is it's going to be a big win, but it's going to take some time to see the results. The same way that everything Justin Trudeau has done in the past eight years has been a big failure, but it took some time to see the results. And so I'm sure that UCP wants it done soon enough.

that they can reliably say that it's been a success as they go up for the next election. Let's get Daniel Smith on, I say. All right. Have you? Should we talk about that pension plan? What about it? Okay. All right.

Has anybody really thought about the repercussions of it? Okay. I don't know. I'll just... I tell you what, Tews is going to be riding in a vehicle with me for two days. Thursday, Friday this week is going to be more of me and Tuse. Me and you will talk about this in the vehicle. All right.

I tell you what, that's what we're going to do. We're going to talk about Alberta APP, Alberta Princh Plan. Okay. Moving on to other shit that we want to get away from, Internet censorship doesn't grow on trees. Oh, I hope I don't have to hear this department very often anymore, but chances are it's coming more and heavily. The Department of Canadian Heritage says it needs millions more in funding

to adequately surveil those with incorrect political beliefs, as reported by Black Rock's Reporter. We know they're talking about Blacks Rock reporter. And they're talking about us. And they're talking about the Tuesday matchup. These little buggers are a thorn and people's sides. The program claiming to need more taxpayer dollars is called the Digital Citizen Initiative. It was launched by the Justice Trittle Liberals in 2018 to support democracy.

I think that's supposed to say destroyed democracy. I could be wrong. And social inclusion in Canada by enhancing and or supporting efforts to counter online disinformation and other online harms and threats. In response to the potential harm, the government of Canada provided $7.5 million over two years to support digital news and civic literacy programs and tools by funding citizen-focused activities using

existing Canadian Heritage Funding Program. I can't even get all through this. An additional $19.44 million was allocated to the DCI and Digital Citizen Contribution Program to fund applied research activities in line with the government's need to better understand the origins, impacts, and potential response to online disinformation in Canada. They need to study us and see exactly why we don't think the way they want us to.

Now, here's the funny thing about this. How much does it cost to get a Twitter account? $0. All right. They can watch this for free. Why do they need more money? Right? But maybe they're going to subscribe to your substack.

That would be nice. Why did they spend $8 million on a barn? Who knows? They just do these six dudes. Spoilers. We haven't even got there yet. I'm just saying, like... Are we going to talk about that today?

Are we going to save it for the live show? Fair. I think we're talking about it today. I think we can just do it in the live show too? You know, like, can you imagine if they just took some of this taxpayer dollars and just showed up to Lumsden and just, like, bought everybody a drink? And actually, like, just won over some votes. It's like, yeah, the Heritage Fund showed up to the Lumsden Hotel,

bought everybody a drink, had a couple laughs, made a donation to the fire department, and like, they were pretty cool. I think I'm all for it. You know what, Sean? They're going to just stifle us all down. No, no, you're on to something. Take it one step further, all right?

So the whole idea of that research was for them to understand how this stuff happens, right? How did people get to be this way? Why do they distrust the government so much, right? It's like that episode of Corner Gas, where the guy from kids in the hall is the accountant or the tax man. That's what it was.

It was the tax man. And then he's fighting with Oscar. And then all that happens is that Brent has to show him a shoebox full of receipts, right? All he ended up having to do was just sit down at the bar and have a beer. And then it all got straightened out. If these people from this Canadian Heritage Foundation really wanted to, all they'd have to do is just go to Lumsden. or Bradwell or Irma or any other small town and just go up to the bar, just be like, you know what?

I'm kind of going around trying to figure out what people think and why they think that way. Can I buy a couple of beer? Will I pick your brain? And any asshole there is going to be like, yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, you look like an idiot that suit in this place. But yeah, yeah, yeah, pull up a seat. And then he'll be like, okay, two blood, light, you're like, no, no, no, no, we don't drink that here.

Okay. But he'll let you buy him a few drinks and he'll be like, oh, and another thing. And yeah, he'll tell you more than you want to know, I imagine, right? But that's how you'd actually get to understand this stuff is you actually go out and talk to real people, get to know them. So that's how we know they don't do this honestly leading surveys to try and reach predetermined conclusions. Because that doesn't help you. You don't actually learn anything. All you're doing is just wasting money.

We can agree. They're not here to understand us. They're here to shut us down. Yes, absolutely. Yes. Right? Yeah, I don't know, Eileen. I don't know.

She asked how many of these fucking programs do you need to ruin our lives? At least one more. At least one more. Yeah. Question period becomes even more pointless. Greg Fergus, the new speaker of the House of Commons, and just insert here. I watched the video.

I felt dumber for watching the video. He's just trying to lay out some ground rules, I think, of what he wants to say. He keeps getting interrupted. I don't know, Tews. I didn't even want to talk. You know, I was almost like, do we even talk about this? But I'm going to give you your couple thoughts here because I'd love to hear what you have to say. Is the new Speaker of the House after Anthony Rhoda.

Yes. Took the fall. They drug him in. Yes. For giving the Nazis standing ovation. Correct. And so now this Greg Fergus guy, the first speaker of the house to ever be convicted of the Conflict of Interest Act, although to be fair, if you're going to have a liberal speaker of the house, it really limits your options to make that an exclusionary preface. Yeah, I mean, it's almost to be a liberal.

You have to have that on your bingo card. Yeah, yeah. The Venn diagrams almost perfectly overlap at that point. I mean, that's, yeah. So anyway, what are the things he says? So he gets up at the start of question period. And question period has become farcical in the past few years, granted. But it's kind of the only chance that the opposition has to really do a good job of putting them on the spot.

And they don't do a good job of it because they get a pass for never answering questions. But Pollyev said, hey, you know what? This needs to start at this time. And then Andrew Shear, who used to be the Speaker of the House when Stephen Harper was, in charge. He brought up a couple key points. And then one of the new rules that Greg Fergus wants to bring in is that

you can't speak about a member of parliament who isn't present in question period. Which is horribly fucking convenient given the fact that just Trudeau takes a new vacation every fucking week. I would agree. So yeah, anyways, if Trudeau isn't there, you can't talk about him.

But what if you want to talk about the fact that he's never there? The entire time this is going on, it's just, it's just a, it's just a stage man. It's just, I don't even like talking about it. We look forward to seeing you to Wendy, Wendy's going to be in Lumsden tomorrow night. Or if you're listening to it Tuesday morning tonight. I just like to me, all the videos that come out of that place are a waste of my freaking time. Because it is not real life.

They don't, like, if that's what we're marrying society off of, we are doomed. The guy is the new house. speaker. He's like, all I want is some time. Now, if what he says is completely bad shit crazy twos, I'll agree with you. And it probably is. But at the same time at some point, if you want some time, he can do it at a time that isn't question period. He can do it afterwards. Fair. Fair. It was ill planned out. But they have started. That's a liberal. It's just like, at this point, I sit there, I watch it, I go like, I just don't care. You know, like Pierre Pouliuev's going to sit there and grand stand about what time we start on and then we come back to what we're just

yelling about with the APP and Marty up north and everything else and what we're saying out here in Alberta and hey Pierre how about you pull your socks up and speak some truth to everyone no I'm going to pick my points I'm going to sit there and pick on it's a 215 it's like pierre I don't like it I don't like how you pick out these little things and these little sound it's great okay it's a waste of my time I'm moving on fuck this Question period topic. I don't like it anymore because it's a waste of my time talking about these morons who grandstand for all the country to see when it does nothing for me. Absolutely nothing.

How about this? Finally, a reason to watch hockey in Arizona. Punch me in the face, folks. Arizona Coyote's defenseman Travis Dermott. Rap pride tape around the top of his stick on Saturday becoming the first player to opening challenge the NHL's controversial ban. Did anybody see it? No. Nobody cared.

No. That's because it happened in Phoenix. And it was nobody who wants us? It was like this much under his hand. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. But this is not a news. It was a silent protest. This is not a news story in Arizona because it's Arizona hockey.

And even in that small building, they can't fill it. And two, it's under his glove. You still can't see it. It took some guy like zooming in. Oh my goodness, twos. I think he's got some pride tape. Nobody cares. The league's made a rule.

99% of people aren't going to care if you put a little tape on. the only people are going to care are the people who are like zooming on on every stick to see if it's there. Those people are just as loony as the other side. They're loony man. Here's the thing is that the NHL could have avoided this whole thing if they started listening to the mashup and they just said, hey, you know what? Put whatever fucking tape you want on there. Put glow on the dark tape on there. Sure.

Whatever. Wear whatever jersey you want. We don't care. That's it. Just as long as you got a stick that doesn't have a regular outside of regulation curve on it, as long as you don't have the Patrick Waugh billboard glove, you're good. Instead, we're going to zoom in on everybody's stick. That's what we got to listeners.

And I don't mean us. I don't mean our audience, but I hope you're not one of them. Because I'm like, somebody zoomed in so freaking close. I'm just like, this is insane. This, we are insane. Like, this is just as insane as what was going on on the other side of this. But you knew it was going to happen. Who cares?

Like, who cares? This is a no non-story. Somehow, it's even made the mashup. God, back-to-back stories. It just drive me up the wall. Okay, all right. Mentally noted. I mean, come on.

Like, I'm against a lot of things. Like, having a... Like, the guy standing up, they made a story out of Provarov, not wearing a jersey. That was a non-story. They wrote their own ticket on that. Because all they had to do was, like,

Oh, it's not a big deal. He just, whatever. Instead, they wanted to crucify him. So by crucifying him, they rallied everyone around him. And they rallied everyone around him. And now there's no jerseys anymore. So now everybody's got, okay, there's no nothing. Now we're going to start picking on a guy who got like this much.

You can't even, can't even see it. And yet we're going to be writing articles saying this guy's standing and then people are going to get mad because there's no pride here. And it's like, come on, folks. Come on. That's all I'm saying. I ain't until San Francisco gets his own team, the only place you're going to see stuff like that is Phoenix. Yeah, because nobody's watching there.

Nobody cares. They literally played the ducks. What was that? Saturday afternoon. Afternoon game in Arizona. It's in a small barn that seats, you know, like the Helmont Hitman. No, it's a bit more, but not much. What is it?

It's like $1,500 in there or some, like, stupidly low number. It's more than that. But regardless, it doesn't matter. It wasn't sold out. I was like, this is freak crazy. How is it that there's an NHL game going on right now? I get it, the ducks aren't good. But I mean, literally, there's open seats.

I'm like, this is, this is the NHL. And you know how much those seats go for, Sean? 50 bucks. Yeah, Mike, I can't imagine very much. Closing the barn door after the horse got out. The National Capital Commission spent over $8 million to replace a barn on the grounds of Rodeau Hall with a zero carbon storage building, according to a records obtained by the taxpayer watchdog group.

The complete project is two-level, partially heated storage and vehicle garage, located on the side of a barn near the stables on the Governor General's estate. Of course, it has to be tied to the Governor General. The building dubbed the Barn is the National Capitalist Commission, first certified zero-carbon building. Quoted, I don't know much about farming, but I'm pretty sure my buddies in Brooks can build a barn for a lot less than $8 million. Eight million bucks.

That's what Francoe Tarasano said. I had to add that comment in there. You have any idea how many zero carbon barns are in Western Canada? Hey, oh, they don't burn any fossil fuels. Lots of them aren't heated. Lots of them don't have lights in them. Well, actually, that's not true. A lot of them have lights in them.

But there's still a few out there that don't. And they're not heated. They're completely carbon neutral, right? And some of them are old enough that they were pretty much built by hand. Can you imagine getting $8 million to do up a barn? Just like, thank you. Yeah, I would have $7.8 million and give them a barn. Right?

It's like, I just, every time I, every time we get to this point, twos, I'm like, what are me in two's? We got to become more crooked, man. We could have this, like, great Tuesday mashup show and then be like, you guys got paid $8 million for that? Oh, yeah, yeah, carbon neutral, green energy. We're powering the show with, with a... Yeah, we do it remotely because we care about the information.

environment. We're off grid. We totally built these state of the art facilities. Yep. I mean, I built this for close to 400G and fully finished. If I choose to make it a heated shop with natural gas would be around a mill. Trudeau crew spent eight mil for a little shed barn, yet they are financial geniuses. And then there was another one. You can't find it. But I mean, here's Anita Anand within a couple days of this talking about their response. fiscal management. Get the fuck out of here. It's just so funny, man. Like at this point, I'm like, this is why we're going to get canceled because it's just blatantly obvious to point out the stupidity.

Sandy, I heard they put solar panels on the north side. I got into an argument with somebody on Twitter once where there is this picture of a hill in China. And you can see that from the top of the hill down, it was solar panels in every direction. And I said, well, how stupid are they for putting solar panels on the north side? And someone was like, well, how can you even tell that they're on the north side? I'm like, well, because they're on every side. There's, there's not a single part of this hill that doesn't have a solar panel. Ergo, no matter what fucking direction it is, one of them is going to be fucking north. Derek Holmettol said, oh, what am I doing here?

Derek Homer said, Arizona has 5,000 seats. Here's a funny story for you, too, is okay, before we move on the next topic. I hate funny stories. Last night I'm sitting at home, right? Here's point number two, why they want to cancel us. Last time I'm sitting at home, first Chris Little shows up with four tinctures of garlic and ginger,

which we were going to take with us to Lumsden tomorrow night. Then he leaves, and then the next person shows up, It's Tim and Donna Hilsendinger. They got honey. So if you've never had their honey, so they come in with a box of honey and I'm, I got a honey guy. Oh, man, it's just amazing. And then I'm sitting there.

And before they could leave, Derek Holmortol walks in. And he's got a thing of Ivermectin for me. He's like, hey, here's an Ivermectin. I'm like, oh my God, when they're watching this house, I'm like, I'm going to jail for having all these natural things that are getting outlawed. Meanwhile, I'm getting my show canceled and we're just all going to be done. Like, this is that, you know, you talk about being in the gula. We'll have the greatest cast and will be the best well-kept bodies ever because we'll have all these like natural supplements.

It'll be fantastic. Last night was hilarious. You're going to smuggle a bunch of supplements into the, into the gulag? You guys smoking? Like you're, you're the, the Stasi comes to arrest you. You're like, hold on a second here. I got to go hide something up my butt. Oh, goodness.

Ev factory won't start in cold climate. General Motors GM is delaying. the opening of a large electric pickup truck factory in Michigan, the latest signed the audio industry's enthusiasm around EVs is starting to wane as sales growth for these model slopes. The automaker cited the need to better manage capital investment while aligning with evolving EV demand. GM also set up plans to use that time to implement engineering changes to improve the profitability of trucks once production begins. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the Ford is considering canceling a shift of factory production

on its electric F-150 lightning pickup sales as for that model as they continue to drop. Tesla's vehicle deliveries are still growing but is slowing rate despite steep price cuts across its lineup. And finally, luxury EV startup is also struggling to hit its production targets reporting Tuesday. It produced 1,50 air sedans in the third quarter. That figure brings its total factory production for this year's first three quarters to 6,737 vehicles, raising questions about whether it can hit its goal of building 10,000 vehicles in 2023.

Lucid shares fell 5% Tuesday and are down around 80% since the company went public in 2021. That's as bad as putting Dylan Mulvaney as your spokesperson. Well, yeah, about that. Ballpark. Here's the thing is that we gave how many billion dollars

to Volkswagen to do their EVs. We just donated several billion to a battery factory in fucking Quebec. We have, I think it was Chevy. We just gave another big, like a matching grant of what we did to Volkswagen. And so we just keep throwing money at this like fucking crazy. Meanwhile, they're reallocating capital because of diminishing returns there. You've had issues with profitability across all of these companies. And this is the same government who said that there's no business case for LNG exports in Canada.

And meanwhile, Dubai is serving the whole fucking world while purportedly funding a terrorist organization that's been fairly newsworthy lately. What more can we add to that? Shall we go to a video twos? Yeah, sure, I guess. I mean, we shit on Pollyev for a while. We may as well say some nice things about them. On the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway. What does that mean?

Well, appealing to people's more emotional levels, I would guess. I mean, certainly you tap a very strong ideological language quite frequently. Like what? Left wing, you know, this and that, right wing. I mean, it's that type of ideological language. I haven't really talked about left or right. Anyways, a lot of people... I don't really believe in that.

Okay. A lot of people would say that you're simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump book. Like which people would say that? Well, I'm sure a great many Canadians, but... Like who? I don't know who, but... Well, you're the one who asks the question, so you must know somebody. Okay.

I'm sure there's some out there, but anyways, the point of this... The point of this question is, I mean, why should Canadians... trust you with their vote given, you know, not just the sort of ideological inclination in terms of taking the page of Donald Trump's book, but also... What are you talking about? What page? Can you give me a page? Give me the page? You keep saying that. In terms of turning things quite dramatically in terms of Trudeau and the left wing and all of this. I mean, you make quite a, you know, it's quite a play that you make on it. So I'm not sure. I don't know what your question is. Then forget that. Why should Canadians trust you with their vote? Common sense. Common sense for a change.

We're going to make common sense common in this country. We don't have any common sense in the current government. You know, the guy prints $600 billion, grows our money supply by 32% in three years. That's growing the money eight times faster than the economy. No wonder we have the worst inflate inflation. in four decades. I'm going to cap spending cut waste

so that we can balance the budget and bring down inflation and interest rates. You'll want to be able to pay your mortgage again. You want to be able to afford rent. Then you have to vote for Pierre Pollyev because I'm the only one with a common sense plan that will bring back the buying power of your paycheck.

There you go. That was sent to us... That was sent to us almost immediately when Mashup 77 was done. That was like on the yield. the cut off. Yeah. Yeah.

This is the kind of stuff that I've been saying, not even just polyev, but oil and gas companies, all of it. They just, when you get inane questions, when people are asking you dumb shit that doesn't have any bearing on reality whatsoever, you just call them out on it. You just keep pressing them. You just, you don't have to hide every time you get pushed by someone in the media. it's totally okay to push back.

And that was about the gentlest, that was the nice thing about this. This is what really set him apart in this. And this is what really pissed off the establishment journalist who more or less collectively tried to attack him for standing his ground. He didn't take swings at this guy. There was nothing bombastic about it. He was just, you know, it was hilarious.

That's not true. He ate an apple. And that was, that was pretty fucking badass. I got to give him credit there. Yeah, I know as much as I heard on Pierre. I mean, like, when was the last time we had a Canadian politician getting like trying to get, I don't know, like put into a corner. I don't even know what he was the, the, I don't even know what the, the, the question was trying to ask. Yeah, here's the thing.

Look at the difference. You know, whenever you sometimes see people on the left saying like, oh, yeah, they always give the. conservatives a pass or oh, conservative talking points. And it's all when they're grudgingly admitting something. But when Trudeau was running to be prime minister in 2015, they were asking him questions like, if you were an Avenger, which Avenger would you be? Compare that with how this guy, ham-fisted as it was,

was trying to paint him as some far-right extremist. The video said it all anyways. I mean, that was fantastic. Vertical integration rears its ugly head. Canada will legally... Oh, man. Canada will legalize medically assisted dying for people who are addicted to drugs next spring. And to move some drug users and activists are calling eugenics.

You don't say. The country's medical assistance in dying law, which first came into effect in 2016, will be expanded next March to give access to people whose sole medical condition is mental health, which can include substance use disorders. So I just want to point this out. The headline is about drug users. But it's actually right there says give access to people whose sole medical condition is mental illness.

Well, we talked about it a month or two ago where someone called a suicide hotline, like, hey, I want to kill myself. Can I get some help? And they said, yeah, yeah, we can help you right out with that. It's called medical assistance and death. And now they're going to

add that to people who are struggling with mental illness and substance use disorder. Leftist government response. Okay. Everyone dies. So it's something that's going to be happening anyway, but if we get

government involved, we can have the same outcome, but while spending a whole shit ton of money on it. So we'll get everybody addicted to drugs with safe consumption sites. okay well now you've got a whole bunch of homeless crackheads okay they're either going to die of fentanyl overdoses or freeze to death in the canadian winters but hey you know what it's already going to happen anyway but let's get involved and let's spend some money making sure that it fucking happens

so they can go to the hospital and get i don't know do you get your choice on how you die like can you pick trampled by elephants or anything interesting like that like shot Or you remember when the train hit the cow and the set in body parts flying and killed the guy peeing? Yeah. So can we can we just choose like hit by a train? How much does that one cost me? Do you get a catalog? You want to be hit by a train?

No, no, no. I want the cow to be hit by a train. And then it just, just the December part just roll me over. Can I go that way? Is that, is that okay? Yeah, it's probably going to take a couple tries. You might be standing there a little while, you know, while the 6 o'clock train and the 630 train and the 7 o'clock train

goes by. We're going to go through a lot of... We're going to fill your freezer. You're not going to be able to enjoy the barbecue, but we will fill your freezer with ground bean. Hope they don't shit on your bubbles. Shit on you. Who? Shethocks.

Big dirty shit hogs. Oh, man. It brings up a fair point here. So she says, and you have to be mentally stable to sign the papers makes no sense. L.O.L. That's actually true.

For any kind of a contract to be binding in Canada, one of the things is that you have to be in the exact wording alludes me, but more or less you have to be in good mental health. So if you're blackout drunk and I put a contract in front of you and you sign it and you don't even remember the next day and I'm like, oh look, it says that Sean owes me his fake tooth

and he has to give it to me now. And it's in the contract. You have to give it to me. In front of a court of law. Yeah, yeah. You go to a court of law. I was inebriated. Yeah, you'll say I was hammered.

I don't even remember doing that. And they'll say, okay, well, fair enough. They'll throw the case out, right? So all the bills are the libs of past question mark? You know what? I feel like they're definitely sober while they do it, but maybe a vote shouldn't count. if you're wasted while you do it?

Like, oh man, you know it would be hilarious? Is it if we voted liberals so that they fucked over all those guys out in Western Canada? Oh yeah, man, let's totally do that. Canada's sweeping dirty secret under the world's rug. In 2016, Canada started to address followed after shipments of Canadian trash

were sent to the Philippines illegally label as plastic for recycling. The move had created a high-profile international spat, which ultimately saw the Philippines ship the garbage back to Canada. They basically told Catherine McKenna to suck my Filipinas. The original convention, which Canada joined in 1992, that is, was intended to prevent wealthy countries from dumping hazardous waste into the developing world.

It requires informed consent, something the Canadian government doesn't give two licks about. It requires informed consent from the importing country before such shipments can be made. So I mean, the Philippines should just ask the citizens. We could have told them this was coming a long time ago. In 2019, the amendment was formally proposed to include plastic as a type of hazardous waste covered in the treaty. The amendment means that Ken is not supposed to export plastic waste almost anywhere without prior informed consent. Data of the department provided the Canadian press showed a total of 16 permits for plastic waste exports have been issued since 2016, half under the 2016 regulations, and half under the updated version in 2021.

one, nine of them were shipments to Malaysia, six to the Netherlands, and one was for Denmark. None of them were for Myanmar, and that's exactly where all the plastic has been showing up. We've been illegally shipping plastic to Myanmar, which, like, so just circling back to that Philippines one. So when Philippines got in a spat with the liberals, what was it, four or five years ago, they literally sent this entire tanker vehicle chip thing full of our plastic

all the way back across the Pacific Ocean and just fucking dumped it in BC and said here, you guys, be a dix, take back your plastic. Okay, and somehow the liberals skated through that. They care about the environment so fucking much. Now, for those of you who aren't totally sure, that's how far and keep

in mind that they're going via ship. So it's not like they're flying. So they got to go around the peninsula on the bottom of Vietnam there, right? There you go. So that's where we're shipping all of our plastic. Not all of it, but some of our

plastic illegally from Canada. Save the world, too, save the world. Yeah. This is what we do. Like, it's how Victoria and Ottawa and Montreal dump raw sewage into the fucking lakes, rivers and oceans. while preaching at us about how we need to have cleaner oil

and stupid shit like that when we're leaders in health and safety and environment top of the world. But yeah, so this is, this is, it ever ends. Can I put the shithawks comment on again? Like, I mean, like, can you believe this that they're shipping it all the way there illegally?

I can. I can. But then they throw in informed consent. It's like every citizen in Canada is like, well, we all know they don't give two. shits about that. So actually, the story is probably bang on for the entire thing, right? I mean, to be fair, this isn't a federal issue, even though Catherine McKenna got caught up in the one with the Philippines. I imagine that this is handled more or less municipally. Either way. What an absolute crapshoot. Another day, another dishonest media article about firearms. The AirSumpe is told owners to turn in what the force is calling fully automatic military surplus firearms after hundreds.

What? Read the headline first. Another day, another dishonest media article about firearms. Their headline. Oh, God. Now, I don't have it. It's sitting here, too. Okay, all right.

Okay. Wait for it. Wait for it here. It is, RCMP tells owners to turn in guns after banned fully automatic model sold in Canada. Ooh! We're selling fully automatic weapons in Canada now, Sean. Or are we?

The RCMP has told owners to... The RCMP has told owners to... to turn in what the force is calling, fully automatic military surplus firearms after hundreds were misidentified and allowed in Canada for commercial sale. The Mounties say the registered of firearms immediately froze records relating to 245 per hit of guns upon discovery of the issue to prevent further sale or transfer of the firearms. The Register believes these firearm businesses important have registered the guns as semi-automatic Taver X-95s that are classified at its restricted firearms and could be sold in Canada.

However, the RCMP says on the point, oh no, and I missed the spot where they're I'm assuming you're making, there's making refing. What do you want to point out to's? Okay. They'd actually been modified to become semi-automatics. So they took some surplus, fully automatic Israeli weapons, right? Sure. Which, I mean, you think they kind of need them right now, but whatever.

They took them, modified them so that they were semi-automatic and then shipped them over to Canada, who then imported them and started selling them. Okay, so you're buying a semi-automatic, fully compliant with the laws, except for the scary name. The functionality of these things doesn't matter. What they're capable of doesn't matter. It's are they scary and are they on that weird list? Remember when they banned that one little 22, that single shot 22 called the butt master? Yes.

Because the guy got drunk and he said he could make a gun that you could hide up your butt. if you wanted to. And it's just this tiny little pen that shoots 22s. And there's only one in existence in Colorado in the middle of fucking nowhere. That is one of the banned weapons in Canada. And I wish... Good luck finding it if he ever smuggles it in, but whatever. I wish...

Anyway, this... You wish what? I wish that was a made-up story. But no, that's like, they got true. That's Canadian government right now. Yeah. I mean, they banned black rifle coffee because it said black rifle in it. They banned a bunch of aerosop guns when they rolled out all this,

this just parade of stupidity. And then here you've got C3B drumming up people's spears. Have I told you this story about the PWM Steelers? No. So there was a women's hockey team. The women's hockey program in Lloyd used to be called the PWM Steelers. And it was a hockey puck, black hockey puck, with a Marvin the Malshan helmet on it.

So like imagine like a Roman helmet on a hockey. Yeah, I know who Marvin the Martian is. I've watched Looney Tunes before. So what I've been told, that that's no longer a team because they thought the black was racist. What color do they want the pucks to be? That's what I wanted to know. I'm like, did nobody just be like,

but the puck is black? The fuck is literally black. Yeah. And then they just go around swatting it with sticks all the time. How super racist is hockey, Sean? I'm telling you, man, maybe the whole entire sport's going to get canceled here. Like, you know, whoever slaps it the hardest, they set off a buzzer and everybody cheers. Oh, that's pretty offside.

Oh, man. Oh, God. Like, once again, this world, you just, like, what are we going to do? here too you know we we got this live show in in lumsden tomorrow night tonight if you're listening to it this morning and you're like literally all i got to do is talk about what's going on in society and we can all probably have a just what else needs to be said i'll probably laugh i don't know those pwm stealers they're they're skating on thin ice bcc ndp solves the housing crisis um well as we know how

closing has been getting more expansive, a lot quicker lately, and construction isn't happening quick enough in all parts of Canada. And so the BC NDP have put forth a solution to this very, very ubiquitous problem in Canada. BC construction projects of more than 25 workers must have access to a flushable toilet, according to a law to be introduced by Premier David Eby. Do I need to go on? basically you could say that the NDP are not a serious party

this is exactly the kind of thing you would expect from those fucking meatheads They're having Can you believe? I mean So quoted If we want people to work in the trades If we want to show people

That this is a great way to support your family And build your community The basic ability to go to the bathroom Doesn't stink That isn't a mess Where you can flush a toilet Is a basic requirement for a decent job site I don't know about you

I've been on many construction worksite. I've went on many I'm just saying. You spent much time on a service rig lease? Do you know what they do? Do you know how that goes? Yes. Yes, I do. So for those of you who don't, I'm going to explain it to you. You've got this kind of plastic sleeve. And so

if you got to go number twozies, you take a leak. And if you really got to go number twozies, it's hard to take a leak without you know, everything all at once. But you've got to make sure you, you pee first. And then you put this liner into the basket of this toilet, which is generally cold as fuck in the winter. And you go in, you do your business, you wipe, toilet paper goes down in there too. And then you get up, you push a foot pedal and a little trap door opens and it falls down

on a coil burner, like what you have on the top of the old school stoves. And then you push a button. and it literally incinerates it. It's called an insinolate. And you more or less, it's kind of a courtesy thing. You just kind of squeeze your butt cheeks if the winds go on the wrong way and it's coming towards the rig. Because it smells like a combination of shit and burning chicken feathers times a thousand. The old rigger stir fry.

okay and so you want to talk about having decency on location you want to talk about how important it is to have dignified thrones for people to poop on I feel like there's better places

you could fucking start the old rigor stir fry oh my god that's fantastic that's fantastic let's move on shall we Oregon with the wind high school students in the state of Oregon

will not be made to perform proficiency tests for reading, writing, or math before graduating. Reading, writing, and arithmetic. Before graduating for at least five years, after the Oregon Board of Education unanimously voted to halt the requirement until 28 due to reported concerns of iniquity. They went on to cite that black kids are struggling.

That's basically what they're saying. So they're just going to halt all testing. They're going to allow them all just because that's going to solve it. Here's what they're saying. They're saying that black kids aren't smart enough to read, right, or do math, so we're just not going to test anybody. Tell me that's not racist. I'm at a loss for words at this point. This week has been filled with just...

Well, maybe you need to take that test. I just, I can't imagine sitting in a board and be like, this is a great idea. We should do this. And not only should we do this, we should do it for five years. the next five years are going to be great. Also, why even have them in school then? If you can't read, write or do math at the end of school, what the fuck is the point of sitting you in that classroom for 12 years?

The mash-up effect is making America glamorous again. Another iconic North America brand is discovering how trying to appease the endlessly woke crowd is a surefire way to go broke. This is from the Western Standard. This was fantastic read, by the way. It's now the once famous Victoria's Secret Laundreéé Company that's paying a massive financial price for listening to those elitist moral guardians

engaged upon a seemingly endless crusade to suck every ounce of joy from life in their steadfast belief that this somehow makes us better human beings. The company that became famous for its sexy lingerie discovering lingerie, discovering transgender and plus-sized models might get the thumbs up for inclusivity, but received a massive thumbs down from consumers. Three years ago, the Victoria's Secret Stock was at $74 a share.

Today, it lingers at $17. And twos, we talked about this a long time ago. Yeah, this was mashup 37, I think. They got rid of the Angels. And everyone went, what? The CEO was there for like eight months. CEO came in and said, hey, I got this cool idea. we're going to do lingerie but not sexy we're going to get rid of the models yeah which i mean you

could you could think whatever you want to think of that but you have a billion dollar company and the most iconic on the tracks and the most iconic part of that is one of those beautiful women wearing like the the the wings you know the little whatever the hell that was little else right sure and so i mean Well, here's like if you're going to start catering to, if you're going to start catering to women twice the size of the ones that you normally would, your cost of materials is twice as much. You got twice as much cotton, silk, satin, stitches, all this stuff. Your profitability is going to go down on a per unit basis.

Of course your share price is going to tank. You know what's funny about that? We're getting shirts. We're getting shirts made for the mashup for Lumsden, right? So I go there and I go to Donna, you know, how much can you sell these for? And or how much, you know, they cost, blah, blah. She goes, well, the excels cost you more.

And I go, what? She goes, well, there's just more material. So, you know, you think it's, you know, I think it's twos being a jackass. But the truth of the matter is, this is just simple, you know, material, cost, etc. Cost and good sold. Right.

Yeah, yeah, this is, this is basic, basic business. You know, the other funny thing is that the CNN article, which tried to put this in the best light possible, actually used, if I recall correctly, I talked about Victoria's Secret, not wanting to talk about the elephant in the room, being this whole, you know, big and beautiful thing. And they use that exact same joke in theirs.

So, I mean, apparently Pearson, um, Anderson, is that the, I don't know, whatever. Somebody, somebody at CNN washes the mashup. It's just once again You know You go This is probably a very poor choice

Like somebody in the room Should have been Putting a transgendered person And lingerie Ain't gonna do it for people Yeah honestly I don't want to see half of some guys Ball hanging out the side

Of some panties Right Like that's just It's not my thing Right And I feel like that's That's fairly mainstream In terms of opinions

All right Community events I'm going to show briefly because I believe that was the happy news though right that was the happy news is that Victoria's secret sexy again yes it's they're bringing them back I I forgot to mention that they're bringing the models back which is like them trying to be like oops let's bring out some beautiful women and see if we can just sell lingerie again right like and swimwear and everything that comes with it which means

actually before I move on that maybe we're getting back to a level of just a bit of sanity is it is it possible we're getting back to just a bit of sanity or people are just finally they're getting pocket pockets are getting hurt and they're like, maybe we just need to go back to what worked. Okay, community news. We are one week away from our spooky fundraiser and we are almost sold out. You don't want to miss Janice Irwin and I in costume. Scary than the UCP's half-cooked plan for your CPP.

Get your tickets. They're right. That is way scarier than the UCPs plan for the CPP. Yeah, that's, I mean, it's the first time that I've seen something factually correct from the NDP in quite a long time. I'm not exactly sure what they're supposed to be, except maybe Janice Irwin is trying to be he-man. I don't know. I don't know, Tews. Okay. But they're doing a Halloween thing. Get your tickets while they can.

The NDP throw a serious party. Mashup 78 in the books. You don't have any more community events? George Old World Flooring. You don't have any other community events, Sean? I'm just giving you a thanks to George Old World Flooring. for being a sponsor for the month of October. Of course, tonight, or if you're listening live here,

tomorrow night in Lumsden, we will be at the Lumsden Hotel and Steak Pit, followed by the next night at Hank's Tavern and Bradwell, Saskatchewan. Both 7 p.m. starts. Look at social media. I'll be having things posted there. And then Friday, we will be our final show in Irma, Alberta. Actually, just a little bit, I believe they said to the south.

Either way, it doesn't matter. I got to post it on social media again. Irma, Alberta, and Albert Hall. and that'll be starting at 7.30 p.m. And two of those nights, all the money raised is going to different local causes. And one night, me and twos are going to make off like bandits, raise $8 million, and build a barn. That's what we're thinking anyways. Yeah.

Yeah. So I guess we're going to pocket all the money from one of them. Any other final comments, twos, before I let you out of here. And just so I'm clear, Trissa Roo has already commented, North of Irma. North of Irma is Albert Hall. but I'll have the details up on social media. I probably already have put them up, but I'll put them up again as we get closer. So if you're wanting to look, pay attention to any which one, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

It'll all be sitting there. We'll make sure that you can find where to go. Oh, man, that's basically it for me. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you guys over this next week. And to the listener, one of the things you can expect is twos and I in a car yelling at each other or having friendly banter. Yeah, we're going to do a bunch of that banter thing. For two of the mashups,

or for two of the episodes this week on the podcast, I believe 520 is Marty Up North, which means 521 and 522 will be twos in the building. That's backwards to, 2-2. Or maybe backwards two, or in the car. Either way, it's going to be a fun little week here. Look forward to seeing you folks along the way. Either way, 2's 78 in the books,

and we'll catch up to you next week. Well, actually, we'll catch up to you very short like here, and I look forward to it. Yeah, thanks, guys.
