All right. Well, welcome back to the Tuesday mashup. I'm joined by Sean Newman at the Sean Newman podcast. Hey, Sean, thanks for joining us. I feel like this is a role reversal. I kind of like it. The man with the buzzer is going to be Tuesday this week. I'm excited. I tell you what, I'm happy to be here. Tuesdays. Thanks for having me. Always a pleasure. So as everybody knows, we got a bunch of stuff to talk about. This week's a doozy. It's going to be a little bit longer. But hey, you know what? I don't think anybody's going to mind too terribly much. So we're going to put on two minutes per topic. And we're going to get started. The first one, breaking news is that the liberals, the federal government, the federal government to announce end to vaccine mandates for travel. Can we just say it's about

fucking time? Like, yeah, we can say that because it is. It's very true. Wasn't it Corey? Did Corey say that on your show the other day? Corey said it. I understand. I I interviewed Kathy Wagonthal who got booted from the House of Commons for not showing proof. You know, like it's just at this point where it's utter insanity. The world has moved on. And here we sit. Canada just keeps, you know, Trudeau's got COVID for the second time. And it just seems like what purgatory are we going to live our summer through?

And then finally, Ryan Whitney, the video we talked about last week, calls out the Canadian government for what the airports had got going on and everything else. And then they use that video in the host of Congress. I argue them, but whatever. Oh. And all of a sudden, it's like, oh, it looks like they're going to pull the mandates on Wednesday. I'm like, all right then. Becoming a Ryan Whitney fan and it's about fucking time. Yeah.

Well, that's, that's extra cool. And then, you know, the funny thing is, is it's just the classic, you know, that tweet he did. It was just the classic, you know, say the lines. What's the mantra? You know, it's just thankfully. I'm triple vaccinated or my symptoms would have been a lot worse. And you're like, okay, but prove it. How do you know?

How do you know? You can't disprove a negative, right? And so it's just everybody is so done with this on so many levels. I mean, I've been saying we've been talking about it offline how I don't even really want to talk about COVID on here. But I feel like we can make an exception for this. But we can bid it fucking ado.

But twos, none of us can leave. the fucking country. None of us could fly anywhere. None of us could get on a federal mandated anything. It was ridiculous. So you don't want to talk about it. But I mean, it's like the big elephant's sitting in the room. We can't go anywhere. We can't do anything. And I'm getting a little bit, you know, I don't want to get too excited because I know how quickly this can just avalanche on me. And I get it. You give me back something and then you take more and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You can push the buzzer. I'm way too excited. Hit the buzzer. Let's move on. Let's move on from COVID. All right. The next one. McDavid caught red-handed.

There's a video of him Shmamm to hell stumbling around, presumably Edmonton. I don't know. I didn't see a lot of homeless people, so I'm thinking it maybe wasn't, but it could have been Edmonton. There's like 200 NHL defensemen that can never catch this guy. He drinks one too many

and the paparazzi are on him. And you can see it on his face. Now, I'm not condoning, cheating on your girlfriend, anything like that. If you're going to go do that, you might just break up and carry on with life. I mean, they're not. married as far as I know they have no kids so it's like if you don't want to be with the girl that's fine just just move on you don't need to be a sleaze ball and do it that way but the look on his face when they're like hey Connor and he looks over and you can just tell he's like ah fuck right and then he doesn't know what to do he's a deer in the headlights a drunken deer in the headlights well i saw a really

good comment on that video you sent me said probably the most shocking part is someone recognized comment Connor McDavid in public. Fair. And like just the amount of booze that must have been in that guy's system, I'm pretty sure that that's the stupidest he's looked since Colorado. You've been waiting for that one, have you? Well, I just, you just said this to me 10 minutes ago.

So it's fairly off the top of my head. Oh, sure, sure. Yeah, yeah. That's right, folks. Tews is he's on top of it tonight, you know, running the buzzer, checking the time. Yeah, and he's probably missed it. We're probably doing three-minute segments right now.

He's running everything. Where did that timer go again? Do I got a timer? You got about 10 seconds left. You got a multitask, buddy. Tuesday does it all. Hey, we all might be going on holidays here pretty quick. We can all fly wherever we want to.

Yeah. Well, not quite, but you know what I mean. I'm excited. It feels like a good Tuesday. Well, I mean, all Tuesdays are good days. Unless you're an Alberta rancher because Alberta ranchers are upset that the proposal by Health Canada to include different labels or by proposal by health Canada to include different labels on ground beef. They want to put warning labels on ground beef. Is this not the dumbest thing you've ever heard in your life?

Dude, we ask ourselves that every week. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. literally they're worried about obesity and all these damn things but they like we got fast food running rampant everywhere we got them telling to do all these things none of which is healthy and then yeah i get it if all you did was eat ground beef every single meal and just plow it in a donis yeah probably i'm just saying this is stupid this is stupid this is really stupid and this is an attack again on people Western Canada. Yes, that I know in love.

Yeah. Where are all the, where's all the dairy farms? Fucking Quebec. Where's all the beef? Western Canada. Again, anything you can do to screw over Western Canada, Trudeau. Sylvain Charlebois, who's the director of Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie, so that's Halifax, I think, said health Canada's approach to the issue is incoherent.

Not only does dairy get a pass while ground beef and pork do not, The proposed health Canada regulations also exempt foods that typically come in small serving sizes, such as condiments, some cookies and breakfast cereals and bite-sized chocolate bars, even though these foods are far more nutritionally suspect than ground beef. I actually feel that ground meat is being discriminated against generally, Charle de Bois said the policy appears to be driven by some bureaucratic ideology. Name one thing in Canada that isn't. Just hit the buzzer.

This is the dumbest thing. We still got 10. We still got 10 seconds, so I'll say this. There is one warning label that should be put on Canadian beef. And it's warning, this product is highly addictive. Australian City is now shivering through its coldest start to the winter since 1904. That's over 100 years ago. I thought we were warming up.

Isn't it global warming? Well, I mean, the name keeps changing, but they settled on climate change because that way anything and everything is climate change. But whenever it gets hot out, they're always like, oh, it's proof of climate change. Oh, it's proof of climate change. And whenever it's cold, it's just the weather. But you know what? If you go by their logic, this does prove that climate change is actually working in reverse. Or maybe it's proof that the carbon taxes work.

Right. And, you know, it's funny. Like Brisbane is going to get down to 12 degrees. Those poor bastards. I know. And they're even talking about some, I don't know. They said it felt like 1.2 degrees. Celsius.

It's like, who the fuck is where it goes 1.2 degrees Celsius to us? How is that even news? That isn't news. How is that even in an article? It feels like it's 1.2 degrees Celsius. That is a load of crap. They need to check their Australian privilege,

a bunch of Kent's. I just want to laugh this entire episode. We might be able to actually get on a plane to go see the other side of Canada if you really wanted to. We might be able to get on a plane to go out, to Vancouver to possibly, it says destinations, you know, other places like international. I'm thinking like, hey, Tuesdays, let's take the show on the road. Let's go lay in the beach and do a Tuesday.

Yeah, except how frustrating would it be if we fly away all the way around to the other side of the world, the complete antipode of where we're at now. And it's one, go to some sparkling beach and it starts fucking snowing. We can't travel anywhere for two years. And then this is what happens. I'd be fucking living. climate change, man. You got to stop eating beef. You know, like that's, that's driving this.

Not going to happen. Canada commits $27 million on easing migration pressures at the summit of the Americas. I want to start by just saying, I'll let you talk to all the money going to all these different countries and what it means and what they're trying to do. But in the article, they're giving like, it's way more than the 27 million. A. And B, they're giving money. to disinformation to stop disinformation in like Mexico and Latin America. And you're like, what? Like, how is Canada? Like, that is the dumbest thing I've heard.

And I know I say that a lot on here. And I know, I feel like it's every article we have on here is just like, what? Like, how can one country give another country money to tell them what did? Like, you know what I'm saying? What do you mean? They just, they just cut a check. Well, I realize. I guess if you're the other government, you're like, yeah, sure, give us $1.2 million.

and we'll take it. Just stick it in. Yeah, well, it was $1.6 million for digital access and anti-disinformation measures. So you think there's a guy named, uh, uh, uh, twos on that side. He was just like, yeah, sure. Yeah, we'll make sure we. And it just puts it right in his coat sleeve and walks away. Well, I mean, he wouldn't be named two is he would be dose, but yeah, because it's Latin

America. Fair. Doses. Dosec. Yeah, dosecis, sure, whatever. But it's funny. Uh, so classic CBC fashion, it's 27. million in the headline. And then as you read down, to that end, the government announced an additional 118 million for progressive initiatives. And you're like, why didn't you, why didn't you start off with that? Because you don't want to look like, you don't want it to look like the liberals are just giving away a whole bunch of money. We don't have. Oh, wait. They are doing. And that's how the CBC exists. And so it's got 67.9 million to promote gender equality amongst other goddamn things. These people are absolutely.

they've lost their mind RCMP entered I tell you what this one this one actually is no laughing bad RC&P entered a home while family slept

started questioning 11 year old before they they entered the home twos in the middle early morning after a girl

had gone missing and the parents not the girl that they interviewed to be correct to be clear they entered this home because the door

was unlocked and instead of like I don't know announcing saying, hey, it's the police, whatever. The parents hear somebody walking around and then come out and it's the police. And they've already talked to the 11-year-old daughter before they ever went to the police or anything, woke her up with a flashlight.

Yeah. So they didn't come in and turn on the lights. No. And say, hey, we're here. We're the police. We've got some issues or something like that. With the flashlight, they sneak upstairs and go into the first bedroom they come to, presumably, and open up the door.

And it's a little kid. They turn on, they don't even turn on the, light there. Everything about this is sneaky as fuck. According to the follow-up, where the RCMP confirmed that the RCMP did nothing wrong. Funny how that works. According to the follow-up, they said that they had banged on the oil tank because a lot of the homes in Eastern Canada are heated with oil, right? Banged on the oil tank for 15 minutes before going inside and announcing themselves. And they're like, we were all asleep. Who did you announce to? And if you're announcing yourselves, why wouldn't you turn on at least one goddamn

light? You have to go out of your way to be that sneaky. Sorry, I forgot to throw it on airplane mode. This is this is two's at the helm folks. I quite enjoy it. I'm like free as a goose over here, you know, just flying around south, north, doesn't matter. Just got to dodge a couple hunters every once in a while. That's, that's where I'm a matter. Goose may not always be a great comparison. Why not? Because he died in the first top gun movies. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Hey, just to finish that off, that's really messed up.

I have no justification for cops doing that. Obviously, you read one article and you want a little more information and you read the second article and you're still like, well, maybe there's a bit more of the story. But the way it reads out, you're like, that's messed up. That's messed up. It absolutely is. Absolutely. Every time. Now, I'll flip to the next headline.

Every time Marco Mendocino falsely said police requested emergencies act. Yes. It was 10 times over 10 different days of 10 different questioning, et cetera, et cetera, et said it like a ridiculous amount of times. Yeah. So now there's this investigation. So part of invoking the emergencies act is that there's a mandatory investigation, which is probably just a stupid kangaroo court where they don't find anything wrong with anybody.

But they've got to go through the motions of saying why they instituted it. and if they were correct in instituting it, or was it an abuse of power? And so Mark Mendocino, who's the Minister of Public Health and Safety, I think, or public safety, something like that, basically Minister of Bullshit, that doesn't really narrow it down much with the liberals, said that it was invoked at the behest of the police. And then the RCMP confirmed that they did not ask him to do it or anyone in the liberal government. And then the Ottawa police also confirmed that they, did not ask for it. None of them asked for it to come in.

And then you've got, he says it 10 different times, 10 different days across multiple months up until like a month ago, maybe even less than that. We will follow the advice of the police and of other experts experts who are telling us that this act is still necessary. We got the advice from our law enforcement that we met over and over and over again to the threshold. This is the reason why we had to invoke the Emergencies Act and we did so on the basis of nonpartisan professional advice from law enforcement. Yes, we did invoke the emergencies act, but we did so as a

last resort and on the advice of the police. And it just goes on and on and on. And so if you're sitting there wondering why this guy's name keeps coming up or it's in memes or it's in everything, it's because he literally said the reason they invoked it was because of the police. And he says it 10 times. And now, now he's saying that now the police are saying that wasn't the case.

and he's saying, oh, well, you guys misunderstood me when I was saying it. That's not what I was saying. You misunderstood me. Like, which time? Which time was it misunderstood? Which time, Mark? How the prime minister stole freedom on the bestsellers book list? Not on the bestsellers book list.

This is number one on the Amazon bestseller book list. Number one on the Amazon. My apologies. I undersold them. Side note, Andrew Lawton's book, which I think doesn't even come out for another week, is number two, a book about the Freedom Convoy, but this number one,

how the Prime Minister stole freedom, is a children's book about how big of a douchebag Justin Trudeau was and how badly he fucked things up through the convoy, as told in a children's story. And do you have it?

I doubt it's an exclusive, but I would like to read to you for just a moment, if I may. I tell you what, listeners, this should be fun because I have no idea it's coming. Here we go. Right. He hated it all, even the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Please don't ask why. We don't know the reason. There's still no, there's no explanation that started at all, but maybe that his brain was three sizes too small. Your leadership is tainted with elitist

disgrace as you dance like a fool and dress up in blackface. Our polls are now dropping from lockdowns and fear. You need a new plan and it needs to be clear. Please, can you read me? It's a whole damn book that just keeps going on like this. It's just beautiful. And it is the number one bestselling book on Amazon right now. Go look it up. That's awesome.

I mean, it's also kind of like that's where we're sitting at in Canada right now. A children's book making front of our prime minister is number one. Like, think about that. Oh, and they're totally going to ban the shit out of it. I'm sure. Right? But that's what it is. So yeah, go out and get your copy today.

Link below in the description, except we probably won't. But whatever. Anyways, go check it out. Go read it. It's got big words. So if you're a liberal, you might want to pass. New Ukrainian ambassador calls European energy crisis an opportunity for Canada. Yes.

So did you, I presume you read this article as well? Yes, I did. Okay. So it's just funny. Because the Ukrainian ambassador was, I guess, in Calgary recently and said that the answer to the energy crisis and the energy shortage and the sanctions on Russia. Wouldn't be Alberta, would it? Well, they didn't say Alberta specifically. They said Canada.

But this has been the argument for years. We don't have any natural resources, too. What would we have? That we've been saying, you know what, if you're going to be using the oil gas anyway, you may as well get it from people who aren't going to buy. Guns with it, although, yeah, our government does that too, whatever. But that aren't going to throw gay people off of buildings. Like we always talk about, you know, how much greenhouse gas emissions go into the production of oil. But we never talk about how many gay people die per barrel.

And now. What? Saudi Arabia. So much of our oil gas comes from Saudi Arabia. And do you know why there's no gay people there? Because they throw them from the top of building? Yeah, no parachutes. I did not know that.

Yeah, okay. So anyways, Ukraine ambassador says, hey, you know what? You guys should get involved in this. Do you think maybe you could help us out a little bit? And it's funny because, of course, the person who wrote the article, you can tell them two sentences. Canadian oil and gas producers are enjoying record profits right now due to skyrocketing commodity prices. But the industry as a whole has so far been reluctant to significantly ramp up capital spending, preferring instead to pay down debt and pay dividends to shareholders. If this person knew anything about Canadian stocks, businesses, the way taxes work,

oral and gas in general, that wouldn't have been there because it's the industry standard for these stocks that they pay out dividends. And of course, you're going to be having record profits if you're not investing anything in capital. And like, yeah, I get the fact that there's a tax rate off, but it's not immediate, right? you defer it over several years, right? And so, so anyway, these companies aren't investing. So of course they're sitting on a lot of profits because they're just finally,

they're too scared to spend much money because when this thing is going to end, right? And so, yeah, anyway, everybody, even Ukraine now, and they're, they're sacrificing. Is calling for Canada to pull its head out of his ass and help them out? And if we're going to help them out, it's 10 years away. Justin Bieber. gets diagnosed with Ramsey Hunt syndrome. Did you watch the video? Yeah.

First off, I want to make sure that this is no laughing matter. The reason I bring this up is in a laughing matter. He's paralyzed once out of his face. It reminds me, well, it's just, it's heartbreaking because I'm like,

here's a young guy, 28, right? And now he's paralyzed once out of his face. No, he's doing whatever to, you know, face exercise to get it back.

But here's the other part of the story. Haley bald one, his wife, 25 super model, 25 year old supermodel, had mini stroke, like a month ago, hurt surgery. And I'm like, at what point can we just say, like, point out the obvious twos? Like, maybe I'm completely wrong. Maybe healthy people like that all the time are having some weird shit go down. But it feels like. It feels like they're trying to normalize it.

I mean, they're talking about sudden adult death syndrome now. Thank you. Right. And so, yeah, this stuff has been going on for a long time. And I can't take it. I'm not taking the high road anymore. It sucks that only half of his mouth has been paralyzed. Okay, but going back to it. Ramsey Hunt syndrome is apparently caused by chickenpox. I don't know. I don't know if there's any other causes. I am not a doctor. But yeah, the amount of doesn't it seem suspicious has really been piling up. This is like beyond suspicious. This is like, Sean's like, uh, you know, maybe. maybe all those athletes dropping down like, well, maybe they had other reasons and all these things. Well, they're soccer players. That's what they do, right?

Right. Yeah. And then, okay, well, what about the other guys? But this one is like, like, he's literally can't move this out of his face. And then his wife, who's younger than him, just had a mini stroke. And you're like, you can't write this shit. Like, the fact that this isn't like, come on, we can, we can talk that is related directly to the vaccine. Like, I mean, this is getting a little out of hand.

It has been out of hand. for way too long, but this is like evident. Re-smear in your face. Like he's like, fuck me. Anyways. It was bad enough when it was just hurting regular people, but now it's hurting the bebs. Well, I'm not...

Now people are going to think, well, I don't mind a little Bieber from time to time. But I mean, hey, I'm just saying... Okay, Haley. Oh, I would... Haley's a good-looking woman. No, I'm saying you're kind of... I know. You think I'm man-crushing on Bieber.

I'm just saying... At times, some of his music's decent. I'm just saying, too, oh, you don't like that. No, no to Justin Bieber, Canadian icon. That, that I'm going to be honest, that it got a little quiet over on that side. That's because I wanted the conversation to end. Let's talk about how beautiful Drake's eyes are for a little while, shall we? God, okay.

We were going to talk about Trudeau has COVID again, but we kind of already covered that. And to be honest, I don't care. I don't really like very many people named Justin as it turns out. Okay. You know a funny thing on Justin Trudeau? We were talking about it earlier, me and a buddy who play Noonah or hockey, that he fantasizes about having Justin Trudeau out on the ice with him so that he can basically make it so Trudeau never leaves the ice surface.

And I was like, oh, that's kind of a morbid fantasy, although like I completely understand. Like, I understand where you're coming from. He's like, yeah, just hope one day get invited out to skate with us. Anyways, I know there's people that feel the same way for Justin's as you do, Tews. All right. And just in time, we're going to go to the next segue. And so this is something Sean wrote, Top Gunn, has Tews ever went to the movies by himself?

Okay. So I was supposed to do an interview in Emmett. It fell through, but now I'm in Emmett. Right? No kids. what can I do? I had two hours to kill a little over two hours. I'm like,

what am I going to do? I, you know, go to the mall. I don't know. I'm sure there's some things you can do. But I got two hours to kill. I'm like,

oh my God. I could maybe go see a movie. And we already talked about Top Gun and my love of the first Top Gun that I was a big fan, watched all the time on birthdays. Yeah, you know, there was stuff after the volleyball team, though,

right? Fuck off. Anyways. So I literally go, I don't know if I've ever gone to a movie by myself. before but I'm like I got two and a half hours no kids I'm going so I go to watch Top Gun in what was the giantest screen I've ever seen I don't think it's a word but it doesn't matter and they had seats that moved with the movie like they literally oh the box oh my god you couldn't

eat popcorn one of those things I'd be bouncing all over the put you probably end uptracking your guts what I want to know is has twos ever gone to see a movie by me himself. Captain America Winter Soldier. You went and saw Kevin that one? Yeah. Well, I'd already went and seen it. And then I'd tell me if this sounds familiar.

But I happened to be stuck in Edmonton for two and a half hours and I had nothing to do. And I was like, well, you know what? That awesome movie that I saw last week that just became my favorite movie ever. And for the record is still right up there. I'm going to go see it again. So you're going to make fun of me for a volleyball scene with Top Gun. And then you went and saw Winter Soldier. two times over and probably stared at Captain America's ass for four hours.

That's what you're telling me? No, it was. Endgame was the movie about Captain America's ass, Sean. Jesus Christ, it's like you're not even a fan. Learning new things about twos all the time here. So you have seen. All right. Hey, good news.

Let's move on to good news. All right. Can we go? Yeah. So we got a couple. We're going to rapid fire out. Federal travel mandate. Woo.

Yes. Yeah. Again, circling back to that. We don't really have any details. They might announce that it's going to be ended in 2013. Listen, they might. And next Tuesday, I will come on here and I'll be pissy. And I will be pissy all episode long. I'm not going to let it ruin tonight. Can we talk about the flaming hot mountain dew? The flaming hot mountain dew is the strangest drink I've ever heard of. Hot mountain dew. Supposedly with a little hint of line. And I'm like, okay, somewhere somewhere, somebody has done. YouTube video drinking this. So that's what I do. You know who I find to's? A guy named Chugs. He sits down and is like, he's got a little vote. He goes, it looks like everybody wants the boot. He brings out this giant boot, glass boot, does boot, fills it with 420 ounce mountain dew flaming hot. And then proceeds to chug it. And I'm like, well, now I'm you got to have some flame with hot mountain do like you just after watching that you got to try i'm telling you're all no he hardly even burped he really he's like oh that was hot like what i imagine that i feel like that would just with the carbonation it'd be like trying to shotgun cores light where it's just

a whole bunch of bubbles i guess i guess with a little cinemey after taste you know a little the funny thing is we both wanted to talk about flaming hot mountain to this week because it's It's just pretty far out there. My thing, though, if anybody was following along on Twitter, I went to the Crossfield Rodeo this weekend to see my buddy Tarrick in team roping. And then I was at the cabaret afterwards. Julian Austin was there doing a concert. And he was talking about the crazy seat that he was sitting in and Top Gun Maverick, too, oddly enough.

Really? Then this isn't new to you. Yeah, yeah, sorry, Julian Austin told me about it two days ago. I should have mentioned that, but I didn't want to humble brag. Let me tell you, I got out of that movie theater and I was ready to do about a buck 80 in the vehicle. I turned the tunes up. I was like, let's go, right? Like, let's go.

Anyways. All right. So at the cabaret, a couple people show up that were friends of friends and we're chatting with them. And then five minutes later, this other guy comes up, East Indian dude. Turns out he was their Uber driver. And they had been talking about, oh, we're going to the cabaret. they got a ride up from Airdrie and oh, what's that? And what's rodeo?

And he's all interested in all of this stuff. And so he's just hearing about it on the whole drive up. He drops them off, gets like two blocks down the road and says, you know what, fuck it. Turns the car around, shuts off Uber for the night and just joined in the festivities. And it was just wonderful, happy. Everybody there was just super glad that he was there. he just this literally was his first rodeo and he was having an absolute blast and everybody

was just happy that he he felt like it would be something fun that he should take part in and you know as hard time as we get about all being racist and misogynists and everything like that like this guy was just total stranger who just wanted to check things out and he was the most popular guy there julian austin was probably pissed i feel like all of us have that night don't we where you're like, somebody's like, why does she just come? What is it? Just get in. You're like, all right. And you hop in and you have to go have this like spontaneous wicked night. And I'm sure everyone can look back in their past and you've had that. I don't know if I have one. Wow, traveling for sure. Actually, that's a lie. You find those nights all the times when you're not

accustomed to a culture where you just like, yeah, all right. Let's let's find out what this rodeo thing's all about. And then you go and you have this wild time. Like maybe we should try and get him on the podcast next week to give us the good news at the end. Well, I think I'd probably have some trouble tracking them down, but the idea is solid. Yeah. All right. Well, on that note, maybe one of these days I'll tell you about the time I almost went to Stockholm. Sure, too, sure.

Thanks, Tuesday. Appreciate it. It was great. I'm glad you could join us this week, Sean. Ha ha.
