Time travel is totally fucked in movies and television.
And it's always like, oh, which rules are you following?
Is it going to be the back to the future rules or the Terminator rules or the time cop rules?
They're all shit.
All of them.
Okay?
Because here's the thing is the earth is spinning.
And as it's spinning, it's moving around the sun.
And the sun is moving around the galaxy.
and the galaxy is moving around the universe.
So what happens is if you were to actually invent time travel,
time travel might have been invented like a hundred different times already
because you will move from the exact same space in the universe
now to the same space at a different time
and you're just floating around in space.
How many time travelers have frozen to death?
We may never know.
But this never gets accounted for in any of,
our pop culture.
Just think about it for like two fucking seconds.
How fucking hard is it?
You have to simultaneously invent space,
interplanetary space travel at the very least,
and time travel.
That's the only way this works.
Figure your shit out, Hollywood.
You got a favorite time travel movie?
Future man.
Future man?
TV show.
All right.
but I love time travel movies
Primer is also really good
I liked when Deadpool at the end
it has just shot
you know the other Deadpool in the head
and was like there it's fixed
you want to come join me I'm like
that that does time travel
pretty much right there you know
that 12 monkeys
12 monkeys was good
yep 12 monkeys did you ever watch the series
yes and I thought
yeah I don't know
I like Bruce Willis old Bruce Willis
I like Bruce Willis.
I like Brad Pitt.
And I wasn't expecting
the show to be that good,
but I just watched it anyway
because I love
12 Monkeys
the movie,
and I love the show.
Probably even more.
There you go.
Mashup 91.
What's yours?
I'm going to get teased about this,
about time.
No,
no,
about time.
It's like a love story time travel movie.
It's fantastic.
Fantastic.
I don't know it.
But yeah, even like Looper was great.
Terminator 2.
Yeah.
Terminators,
man,
they over did it.
That's what they did.
Terminator 2.
I know.
I don't know.
There's like Terminator 14 right now.
And nobody cares.
Nobody cares anymore.
You know,
I thought when Christian Bale came into the Terminator franchise,
I'm like,
oh, here we go.
And then you actually like.
And McGee directed it.
I had high hopes.
Although I will say,
The Sarah Connor Chronicles was really good and tragically canceled far too soon.
There you go.
End game was,
end game was like the perfect meme movie because it was combination superhero movie,
heist,
and time travel.
End game was good.
Okay.
Shall we get on to 91?
Sure.
Let's just address this Doctor Who thing.
sadly I'm not British
I've never watched Doctor Who at all
I know what a TARDIS is
but I
yeah so genetics
says Doctor Who come on man
he was a time lord be nerdyer
I guess my nerdyness
is not infinite.
Is limited.
Is limited.
Okay.
Last week we threw out
the Coots 4 and I was supposed to have
the number for you and I didn't have it for you
so I apologize and since then
I've got a nice little tracker now
that's counting up
is sent to me by Ben Trudeau.
So there's actually a website people can follow.
But it's 714 days today.
So when this gets released Tuesday morning, it'll be 715.
Correct.
Correct.
So there you go.
That's where it's it.
They had a, well,
a week shy of two years.
Yes.
And one of them just got sentenced to 10 months today, by the way.
No, no, no.
That's James Sauri.
That isn't one of the four.
Sauri's a guy who ran over the pylon.
And then the cops feared for their lives.
He was downing twos, but he's not one of the four.
For running over a pylon.
Correct.
What?
Because it looks like the NDP.
I joke today.
I joke today, Tews, if we had as much political clout as that pylon, I think we'd be laughing.
Like, I just literally.
Oh, okay.
Yes, welcome to the state of Canada where we said.
I hope we don't have any other stories about the story of our running over a pylon.
You cannot make this up.
you cannot make it was it a special pylon yeah it identified as i don't know what's the opposite
of a pylon too's help me out here well i i would say like did just yeah what round did the
oilers drafted in we'll get to the oilers and how they're doing um yeah james salary we i don't even
know if that's on our list of 30 today
It isn't because it just came out this afternoon.
All right.
Well, he got sentenced to 10 months to follow a ton of it.
Moka Bersergan is on Twitter.
I just had him on the podcast last week.
Young kid from Turkey.
He's been down there covering a whole bunch of it,
along with a whole, I think Jason Levine's down there too.
Don't quote me.
I think he, I'm almost positive.
I quoted him on Twitter.
And so there's a few different people down there.
But yeah, James Sauer,
he sentenced to 10 months today for running.
over a traffic cone.
I gotta give you shit about that interview you did with Moka, by the way.
Oh, why is that?
Well, so you had this really interesting story that he basically just teased out a few
Cole note,
Cole's notes about with this Turkish president that used to be everything that everybody
wanted and then gradually turned into a villain.
And I feel like you probably could have gone far deeper into that.
I really wanted to hear more about it.
It was all news to me.
There's a way to have round two, isn't there?
Yes.
All right, fair enough.
Well, there you go.
We've just added in 31 because James Sary, yeah.
If you hadn't heard about that and you're sitting on Twitter, just, you know, go to Bersergan Media or Jason Levine has some tweets about it.
And you'll just be like, if you're wanting to hear from a story, go to the podcast, I interviewed him a while back when he was first charged and facing jail.
time. Now he's going to, yeah, 10 months. 10 months. 10 months. That's more than people get for killing
people in this. In this country. Right now. Was the pylon dead? Like, were they able to salvage it?
I don't know. I don't know. They may have offered it made, you know, maybe. Maybe they wanted to donate its organs.
Anyways, the other thing that happened between the two of us that we got a note here for is Tucker recap.
Tucker Carlson was in town.
Wednesday you went to Calgary.
I went to Emmington.
How was Calgary?
Okay.
So I basically snuck out of work early to go to this thing.
And then while I'm there, I'm talking with Underboob Jess and Terrick Alnaga,
kind of the VIP area sort of thing.
Who comes up to me?
My boss.
Oh, hey, Tews.
How's it going?
like mother fire.
So anyway, we got to talk about it afterwards,
and he thought it was really interesting
because I had mentioned the same kind of thing,
I guess that a lot of people have been saying
about how Daniel Smith really kind of just spent five minutes
talking like a politician rather than actually giving a decent answer
when it came to the Coots 4.
And so then he just randomly sends me a text
of this podcast interview that a guy named Laten Gray did.
he just sends me a clip of
of you and him talking
well that's funny because he doesn't really
like he knows but I don't think he's actually
um checked figured it out
stuff yeah and so anyway I'm like yeah I know that guy
well
um we had the the premiere in the studio
on the weekend and that released today
and that got some people fired up
um because she you know
you had Layton on and he was talking about Coots 4 so I asked Danielle about the Coots
four and you know people enjoyed that answer didn't enjoy that answer didn't enjoy that answer
I imagine mostly didn't it didn't to fly directly in the face of everything that Leighton said
and then you didn't really push back very much yeah people didn't like that you know um
I don't know um I don't know what I guess I don't know what to say at this point you know I
I'll give the audience this, though.
The phone today, I tell you what, it hovered.
And lots of people very upset that I didn't push back
and I didn't do a whole lot of things
and I didn't drag her out by her hair or something.
I don't know.
But that was, that was, so who was right, Leighton or Danielle?
That's what Earl Wally's saying.
I don't know.
All right.
I do like the fact that you took up
my idea about the coin, kind of.
Kind of.
I will say this, when you have 20 minutes and you have like five topics you're trying to get to,
I really don't like that.
There's no, you know, it's like all I did was stare at a clock with a timer beside me,
showing me how much time I had.
That there's got to be the worst feeling in the world as a host.
And people are like, well, you got 20 minutes with the premier.
True.
Very true.
Very true.
But, you know, can't make everybody.
happy, including twos by the sounds of it.
So what are you going to do? Hey, man.
If I didn't care, I wouldn't give you the feedback.
That's true. It's true.
All right.
Well, are we going to get into 91 here?
Are we going to sit here in gap?
We still have some sponsorship spots available.
We do. We do.
And then let's get into this rapid fire thing.
Darren Ostoppich says he likes the speed version.
You guys did a fine job of stretching the odd story.
Well done.
I assume he means us going rapid fire and not something to do with Keanu Reeves.
I assume that's what he meant.
Okay.
Here we go.
On mashup 91.
Liberal voters are revolting.
See, it's a play on words, Sean, because they're revolting.
Avalon MP Ken McDonald has walked back comments made to Radio Canada about whether
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should undergo a leadership review.
Quoted, I will continue to support my caucus colleague.
and the Prime Minister, as I've done since 2015,
McDonald's said in a written statement,
knows how it's written to NTV news.
This comes just days after McDonald told Radio Canada
there should be a leadership review in the Liberal Party on camera, I might add.
Yeah, isn't it funny?
That's a pretty marked departure from what he said the other day.
And so, yeah, he's speaking candidly,
and he says that he's got a lot of concerns about Trudeau.
And then he would like to see a leadership review.
And then no, no, no, no.
I love him. He's the best.
Go Justin.
Oh, for sure, he's best coin.
You know, because he's a moon man.
And so, yeah, it's just, they keep a tape.
Well, it's a flip flop, man.
It's a flip flop.
He literally one day says we need a leadership review the next day.
I'm Stan is strong.
This week in charges dropped.
I mean, how you doing?
I think we've got this, this needs to be a regular segment at this point.
Sure.
Chris Sky.
today, this is his
tweet. Today is truly
a historic day on October 7th, 2020.
I became the first person charged criminally
under the Quarantine Act. They wanted one year in jail
after four years of fighting. They tried to make
the plea. I told them to suck my cock.
That's literally what it says, folks. I'll see you
in court. Well, today, January
25th, all charges against me for blatantly
defying the Quarantine Act were drop
proving beyond any doubt. They can never
do this shit again if you just
say no.
now it's uh it's good i hadn't heard anything about this i assume it's true uh he's just i guess glad
that they don't make having giant shitty fucking teed illegal you and chris guy's teeth that
is that a running joke now for like well no it's just he's just such a ludicrous human being
and it i stare at the neck tattoo i'm like i just i just think he's just really dushy
I'm sure he's a great guy, but
ugh, dumb my kind of people.
Oh, by the way, Ken McCammon reached out to me
and thanked me for the tickets,
which I had nothing to do with.
And he'd reached out today as well.
He said, Cusford, being tried in court of Kings Ben's bench,
isn't that a federal, not a provincial?
Anyone listening want to weigh in?
I would love to see the comments go back and forth on that.
Okay.
Polygamous are not, are plagiarous.
Utah State Senator Scott Sandel is the chief sponsor of the Utah Constitutional Sovereignty Act,
which was passed by the State Senate on January 18th and is expected to pass through the state of House representatives
and be signed off by Governor Spencer Cox in a few weeks.
Sandel said Utah and Alberta share some of the common concerns about federal overreach.
In that way, I think we partner even across the border.
Quoted, we plan to use this legislation only in extreme cases where we believe a federal law,
will have devastating consequences to Utah.
He did cite a bunch of the climate.
He said, well, yeah, and he specifically said that it was modeled after the Albertan
Sovereignty Act.
Yes.
So that's pretty interesting.
Well, making waves down south, right?
They're taking notes of what Daniel Smith is doing up north.
I'd say that that bodes well for her.
Quebec protectionism endangering American free trade.
The Quebec provincial government, and I guess, you know, as I show this, I'm going to share
my screen here.
Give me a moment, folks.
I'll get her pulled up.
Here's what we're talking about.
The Quebec provincial government grossly underestimated how much it will cost for businesses
to adhere to new French language law requirements for storefront signage, according to a Montreal
legal expert.
The new draft regulation requires non-French signs to be accompanied by French descriptions
that are twice the size.
For example,
if Canadian tire has a lettering
that is three meters tall
and 20 meters long,
it would need a French description
that is four meters by 30 meters.
There you go.
So you can see it on the storefront
of the Canadian tire
if this was what it was supposed to look like.
Yeah, isn't it funny
how silly these fucking frogs get about everything?
If you need, I've said this before,
if you need to mandate protection
for your language and your culture,
maybe they're not that great to begin with.
I don't know, man.
I kind of admire the Kupecua at this point
because they just don't give two craps
about what the rest of the country says
and they go about their business
and just keep hammering the government.
Aren't we trying to do the same bloody thing here in Alberta?
I mean, we don't have French to worry about.
We're at least the whole generation behind.
We're trying to try and be like,
hey, we got this Alberta Sovereignty Act
and we kind of want our way of life to stay
and we kind of want to do oil and gas
and a whole bunch of other things.
So instead of making front,
of these freaking guys and gals, maybe we just need to adopt a Quebec stance on pretty much everything.
We could do both.
We could still make fun of them.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, that's true.
I just, to me, at this point, dairy cartel protectionism squashes British free trade negotiations.
British negotiators walked away from the trade talks with Canada Thursday, a dramatic development that taps the breaks on a bilateral trade deal between two,
Commonwealth nations that has been years in the making.
A major sticking point between the two sides remains how much terror-free access
UK producers should have to the Canadian cheese market.
After Brexit, and actually I'm going to go down,
Corey Morgan had this to say Canada's dairy cartels.
I'll take twos off the hook for a second for the dairy cartel that's listening.
Canada's dairy cartels are very effective political lobbyists.
Neither the liberal nor the conservative parties are willing to question the sanctity
of Canada's supply management system
no matter how much it costs citizens.
The dairy industry contributes far too much
to the campaigns of both parties
for them to risk losing those dollars.
Remember when Andrew Shear was running against Maxine Bernier
and it seemed as though the deciding vote
was basically cast by the dairy cartel.
And so this has been a longstanding thing.
And actually this agreement or this clause, I guess,
that applies to all international trade agreements
that cites that they can't move forward
without protection for the dairy cartel.
It was specifically, everybody voted yes to it.
So if you think Pollyev's going to do any different?
Nope, because they voted yes for this.
And also he said that he wasn't going to touch the dairy cartel
because it would cost $40 billion to buy them out,
despite the fact that there were estimates
that it costs us consumers $8 billion in excess cost.
And so while everybody's worried about the cost of groceries,
you're like this is one of the four major food groups
and Canadians are paying an extra $8 billion a year,
which means also, by the way, that that $40 billion payout
would be break even at five years,
which would make it a good investment.
There's every financial reason to do this,
but they're unwilling to do it because they don't,
want to get Maxine Bernier.
Ben Shapiro left me
actually speechless for once.
There's a new music video.
Of course, I didn't pull up the bloody tweet,
but it's Tom McDonald featuring Ben Shapiro,
and it's called FACs.
Anyway, halfway through the damn thing,
all of a sudden, you've got Ben Shapiro,
who is not by much definition of a very cool dude.
You go into prison.
I'm on television dogs.
No one knows who you are.
Yeah.
That's Ben Shapiro rapping.
Ben Shapiro dropping absolute fire in the middle of a rap song.
You're like, I did not expect this at all.
He's a smart guy.
Seems like a good dude.
But he's probably one of the least cool people I could picture in my head.
You know, after watching that video, I added to my growing list.
of people I want to have on the podcast, and I kind of forgot about him.
Tom McDonald.
I'm like, frigging I want to have Tom McDonald on the podcast.
I mean, he's originally from Edmonton, I think.
Oh, I thought it was out east.
Doesn't matter.
Whatever.
J.B. makes large leaps forward in media training.
Gads Sod said, you're most likely to receive threats if you criticize.
And then he had a pool.
And Jordan Peterson quoted as fat tricks on the cover of magazines.
Yeah.
So anyway, he's pushing back on this forced media training.
He's got to undergo.
You just, you love to see it.
Yeah, I don't know if we need to really comment.
I think JP did just a one line there.
There's nothing we could do to improve on that.
And that's basically what happens when he speaks, by the way.
Everything, I don't know if you listen to the Calgary one,
but everything he said about Greta Tonberg,
I've tried to say and did it far less well.
Eminton doesn't even have good terrorists.
This was an all-out Gaza-inspired jihadist terror attack with gunfire and homemade bombs at Eminton City Hall on Tuesday.
A 28-year-old security guard is facing six charges related to arson explosive, discharging of a firearm after shooting and firing at the Eminton City Hall on Tuesday morning.
His name was Bazani Savar.
Police said the suspect that surrendered to the unarmed guard and was detained until police arrived minutes later.
I want to point out, nobody was hurt.
he fired off a rounds into the wall into the door and into the ceiling and threw him all top cocktail in there and not a single person was injured this guy fucking sucks yeah i mean all jokes aside because i'm like this is serious like really serious like we just had a terrorist attack yeah
and we mock the shit out of him yes well way out like this is i another thing that i've been saying for a long time is when you've got terrorist mass shoot
You don't call them lone wolves.
You don't call them dangerous individuals.
You make fun of their small dicks.
You tease them.
Like, you just, you make it so that the idea of being one of these people is so cringe-worthy that no one even wants to try it.
That's how you get this shit to stop.
And this guy fucking sucks.
Doesn't it strike you as odd, though?
I mean, just really odd.
that he walks in and I wish I had left up the video
there's a security camera of him shooting his gun
and it is as sporadic folks as it gets
then he takes off his coat drops his gun drops everything
and goes and get arrested by an unarmed guard
so what was the point of it?
That's interesting I didn't watch the video
I didn't realize that the video was out
that's very weird
see this is
this is probably why we need
why we need more people to get their pals
and there are pals
so that when you're in a situation like this
you can actually fire the weapon
without looking like an absolute fucking schmuck
yeah
obviously trained by the lives
in NDP terrorist caps
yeah
I don't mean to make light of this
I agree with two is that you don't
you don't put them in a realm of like
it's just yeah and stevie be right there there is a it's before he goes on right here before he goes
he does a confession video where he says it's about gaza and immigration and anti-woke and then he
went and truth bag of left stuff and right stuff yeah and so so the left is like oh he's anti-woke
that's why he's a terrorist and the right is like oh he's all pro gaza and that's why he's a
terrorist and you're both right the future is now and god help us
I'm starting to run out of jokes I could make about stupid cities buying electric vehicles.
I was talking to a guy at the city of Calgary and they had got one of those new Ford lightnings
and they had it out during that crazy cold snap and the battery's dead and it won't take charge.
They had to like tow it back to the yard.
That brand new vehicle that basically still has the tits on the new tires, it's a right off.
And now here's Brampton's first electric.
fire truck.
Yeah.
And 5.4 million for two and a built-in diesel generator is a battery will only last two hours.
So it's, you know, like I had Chris Chase Barber on, sorry, not Chris, talking about, you know, his electrified logging trucks.
And so you go, the difference, folks, is when you talk to Chase, his trucks are like refurbishing old trucks and placing
you know, making common sense moves.
5.4 million to the taxpayer for two of these suckers.
Okay.
And think about it.
Like, they're saying,
oh, this is going to help save the environment and everything like that.
Are they really taking into account the added carbon sink or the added carbon footprint
of all the extra houses and buildings that are going to burn down when this thing can't fucking get there?
Yeah, okay.
The other part of this.
is a media release Wednesday.
Let's bring it a little closer home here, Saskatchewan.
In a media release Wednesday, transit bus manufacturer,
Nova Bus announced it has signed a five-year contract at the city of Regina
to provide up to 53 long-range battery electric buses to Regina Transit.
They said the first seven of the 40-foot buses are to be delivered in 2025,
and the addition to these electric buses will support the city of Regina's goal
of becoming 100% renewable city by 2050 and is aligned with their energy and sustainable.
framework.
Do you don't want a long-range electric buses, Sean?
It's around the fucking block.
I think we've established this fairly, fairly.
And yet, I mean, obviously Patrick Brown doesn't watch the fucking mashup,
or he wouldn't buy fucking fire trucks that run on electric.
Liberals defund the UN, question mark.
Jewish groups and others are calling on Canada to follow the U.S.
and suspend funding to a controversial UN agency in Gaza after allegations this week that its employees
participated in the October 7th terrorist attack against Israel. The U.S. government announced
Friday it was immediately pausing funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for
Palestine refugees after evidence presented by the Israeli government this week alleged 12 of the
agencies' employees took part in the Hamas-led attacks. Canada had suspended funding to this group
under previous Harper government due to longstanding allegations that the agency
promoted anti-Semitism and was linked to terror groups such as Hamas.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reinstated Canada's $25 million in funding in 2016.
They just signed on to $100 million over the next four years.
$25 million a year were sent into terrorists.
But hey, they're canceling it now because you're actually getting daylight on this shit.
And then it's funny because the...
other part of it is that what a month ago everybody was calling leslyn lewis crazy for saying that we
should stop sending money to the u.n well i think and i think that's a good thing to point out because
that petition is still going right it's up to you know i think it's 85 000 people last time i
checked was just a couple days ago the prime minister's office because this is this is the other
headline we have prime minister's office is questioning a high profile conservative which
would be leslin lewis who uh for for support of a petition that seeks canada with
from the United Nations and its subsidiary agencies.
And I think that's been being talked about quietly,
maybe more loud than I think.
But that petition, if you haven't seen it,
you should sign on to it because I think that there's a lot to be said about that one.
I mean, it's cute that you still think petitions matter, but continue.
I used to think protest didn't matter.
And then the convoy happened.
Look at what it did.
That's fair.
but one doesn't make the other true.
This might be a good idea.
I don't know.
Derek Holmadol, get Leslin on the show.
I've been trying, you know?
I have been trying.
You think I can get that one?
It's a quick buzzer because right now I haven't been able to.
I feel like shocker.
I haven't been able to.
Shocker.
Stomping protesters and seizing bank accounts is illegal.
This is a big one.
Yes.
I mean, this literally came out, you know?
Mm-hmm.
So, I mean, it's stuff that, like, the problem was it came out on Tuesday last week.
So it's a week old and everybody's talking about it for a week.
But this is our first chance to talk about it.
Not justified.
And the use of the Emergencies Act, not justified.
Correct.
I mean, not just-fied.
We all knew that. We all knew that.
No, but I think if you threw any common sense at it, it wouldn't have been justified.
And now you've got a liberal judge.
saying actually, yeah, you know what it is.
Interesting thing, though, about this is that
Christian Freeland in that media scrum
was like a half hour after the verdict came out.
And the judge wrote something like a 90-page dossier
of his thoughts and everything like that
is reasoning behind saying it was unjustified.
And you cannot tell me that they had legal analysis
of that 90-page document in 30 minutes
in enough time for her to be able to say
that they're going to dispute.
it.
Yeah, I guarantee
she,
man,
they don't give a shit about the law.
I don't know what else watching this.
We got a bunch of people watching right now,
and I,
you know,
like,
twos,
were you surprised when you read that headline?
Yes.
Like,
not,
not the fact that it was,
you know,
like they deemed it like this is a,
no,
this was not justified.
The fact that I already knew
actually worked for fucking once
in this ridiculous,
God damn shit whole country.
Yeah.
I was pretty fucking surprised.
Yeah, that one surprised me.
Like, I was like, holy.
Holy.
Right, it's, it's to the point where honestly,
when I hear about these court cases and things like that,
I just think, why the fuck do people even bother?
Right.
It's,
it's almost like willfully engaging in a deal
where you know the other person's operating under bad faith.
And for some fucking reason,
it actually worked this time.
The other thing we should point out is this was,
This is Mocha right here, Bezzergen.
And this was the convoy on the weekend in support of the Coots Boys.
And he had some reporting.
And, you know, it's good to continue to shine a line on that.
Moka's got, he's fresh in my mind right now.
He really impressed me.
Yes, he did.
He really impressed me.
Going to be honest, folks.
If you haven't listened to that interview, go back, take a listen.
That media blackout.
Again, you know, you just be like, are you surprised that there's a media blackout?
Yes, as a concept, I am in the current state of our country.
I am not.
I am not. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, 100%.
Like, can you imagine if CBC showed up to cover that?
That would have been amazing.
Like, that would have been something.
Tucker in Calgary offered to the CBC.
He's like, you guys are in the room.
If you want, come to the front afterwards, I'll give you, I'll give you an exclusive interview.
And they didn't take them up on it.
it was the biggest news
it was the biggest news in the country
all week
and they're like no we're good
liberal political career ties
suddenly that seems to be going around right now
former justice minister
david lemetti resigns his montreal mp
to join law firm
it is uh with some sadness he says that i'm leaving a dream job he says
yeah no shit look at the fucking pension he's gonna get yeah and here's
Franco Tarzano.
Lamedi will receive an estimated starting pension of $87,000 a year.
$87,000 a year.
For doing nothing.
And he will receive an estimated $3 million to the age of 90.
You know what?
If we're going to start giving people made all over this fucking place,
let's start with the people who get guaranteed pensions.
Yeah.
Yeah, when they get out of office, just, you know,
just push them out on an iceberg.
like the
Eskimos used to do.
And then so he
resigns the day
after the court ruling.
He deletes his Twitter account
and is immediately
already working at a law firm.
Isn't it
nothing shady?
Things just kind of fall together.
That's right.
Fall into place.
Mike Holmes' reputation
gets demolished along with the hoses
he approved.
Okay.
The demolitions are the...
I got to give CBC some credit on this.
This is CBC.
And they...
They're the only ones I know of that did this.
The demolition...
I just took a small snippet out of here, folks.
The demolitions are the latest chapter in the saga of Terrace Wood,
a housing development launched in Mayford in 2015
to much fanfare.
The boutique subdivision of houses was built by third-line homes
and endorsed by celebrity contractor
and popular TV host Mike Holmes.
essentially what happened is there was a series of homes that got built with such giant defaults that they had to tear them down including like one that was two years old and so yeah that's structural defaults they had to absolutely just hammer down see you later and and mike homes actually there's pictures of him in that house or sorry it depending on which house got tore down but he was in one of the houses that got tore down right there
giving the thumbs up. Here's him giving his thumbs up to the construction of this house,
which ended up getting torn down two years later. And the deal was, was that they sold him one of the
houses for an undisclosed price, which then he later turned around and sold. So presumably,
he lived in there on paper for six months and then sold it and paid no capital gains on it.
Dude, that's crazy. Like this guy, you know, you think he's got this stellar reputation for so
long and then he ties his name to this absolute fly-by-night bullshit operation.
I can't be reached for comment.
I 100% agree.
100% agree.
Wild freaking story.
Okay.
If you can't win, change the rules.
As progress on some measures, the liberal NDP confidence and supply agreement continue
to play out publicly, the two parties have quietly been in talks to table electoral reform
legislation before the next federal vote.
You know, it's funny, I got a text today, too.
What a guy saying, you should stop saying that Trudeau is guaranteed to be out in
2025, because we're a long way away from there.
And you don't know what can happen in that time.
And I was like, hmm, you're absolutely right.
And wouldn't that be prophetic to this next article reading here?
Because specifically, liberals and new Democrats agreed to explore,
allowing an expanded three-day voting period during general elections,
allowing voters to cast their ballots at any polling place within their riding
and improving the mail-in ballot process
with both accessibility and maintaining integrity in mind,
whatever the heck that means between the NDP and the liberals.
Whenever they say that,
you should get really fucking suspicious and check that you haven't lost your wallet.
Correct.
This is probably,
this is basically confirmation of everything that everybody suspects
happened in the U.S. in 2020.
Yeah.
We're going to loosen up all these restrictions,
and then all of a sudden a bunch of duffel bags
are going to show up in the middle of the night,
and remember that line that went bloop?
Remember?
Bloop?
Yeah, we're going to see the bloop here.
Remember when things seemed a little bit fucky
when Trump lost,
when they seemed a little bit fucky when Bolsonaro lost?
There's not going to see there, too.
When they seemed a little bit fucky when Macron won.
There's not a to see there.
Things are starting to feel a little bit
fucking in Canada right now.
Okay?
Just because you've...
You can trust the liberals.
Just because you've taken part and made
doesn't mean you should no longer be able to vote.
Maybe sometimes it is okay to punch a woman.
Why would you say that, Sean?
This is climate radicals.
Attack the Mona Lisa painting in the Louvre in a museum in Paris.
You're fucking idiots.
a can of soup on the glass in front of the Mona Lisa.
Correct.
I'm surprised you didn't get tackled.
You know, I got to, I don't know if ever told you this,
but back when I was in high school,
I got to go see the Louvre.
And like the security,
the security around that was like insane.
Like they wouldn't let you take a picture.
Like they didn't,
wouldn't let you take your camera in there to take a picture.
They were like shooing people out.
So how the heck did somebody get a,
can of soup in and whip it at that or whatever the heck it is.
I feel like this had to have been a domestic thing because after 9-11,
you can't have things like toenail clippers on flights, all that stuff.
I assume that you can't fly with a can opener either.
So the only way this could have happened is if it happened domestically.
I guess.
But yeah, you see this.
somebody is going to
lay the fuck out of one of these climate protesters
one of these days
and it's going to be a hilarious video
and we're all going to openly mock it
but in the meantime if there's a cause you believe in strongly
I would suggest not being a dick about it
because one day someone's going to knock your lights out
homeless encampments have a name
that name Trudeauville
Trudeauville.
This guy, I don't know who he is on Twitter.
But here's, here's Kelowna.
Yeah, he said, I'm driving past Trudeauville.
And I think that that is just the perfect name for it.
And that's what we all need to start calling these homeless encampments.
Trudeauville.
And look at the size of this thing, man.
That's what she said.
We got a bunch of new listeners and stuff.
Yeah, it's great.
Fantastic.
Chinese!
This is great live discussion.
18 thumbs up.
Are you guys on every evening?
Could you imagine?
Could you imagine?
We're on every Monday night, folks.
9 o'clock for the, wow, hey.
First time listeners.
Welcome everybody who's new here.
Welcome everybody.
Yes, we do the Tuesday mashup every Monday night at 9 p.m.
where we rattle off as many headlines as we can get right now.
And you're a part of the process.
process. So thanks for stopping by and tuning in. Please share. You're a part of the process. You're a part of the problem. Welcome.
Yeah, you're part of the small fringe minority. Chinese report condemns Canada's oil sands.
Yeah, I mean, okay, it says carbon emissions from Canada's oil sands are being severely, severely,
underreported and a new study published in the journal Science suggests. But here, let's let's
pull up, let's pull up this, shall we?
It says, why would an environmental study of Alberta's oil sands be funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China?
And if you scroll down, SML acknowledges the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology in China.
Of China.
Of China.
Of China.
2019, YFCO 214, 700.
The project was partially by the way.
China funded a study on Canada's oil sands.
Correct.
Nothing to see here, folks.
Nothing to see.
Doesn't get mentioned in the article.
You got to go through the fine print of the actual.
This is exactly why nobody trusts our media.
Okay.
And this is why they come here, like Stacey Bula, first time too, fun and great.
Leanne Taylor, so funny.
Debbie Lewis, awesome broadcast.
Thank you.
You're very welcome.
Thanks for coming, guys.
Yeah, thanks for coming.
Yes.
I can't, yeah.
that rate there sums up what's going on in our country, doesn't it?
Yeah.
I mean, it's nice that they're actually sending money here this time
that isn't to get funneled through casinos.
Just to shut down our oil sands too.
Yeah, but I mean, at least they're finally sending money here instead of us sending them money.
We literally give China foreign aid to the tune of millions of dollars every year.
It's one of the biggest economies in the world.
and we help it out like it's fucking broke.
That's a wrap on Wizard of Oz heist.
This is like a...
I know you're a heist guy.
So, folks, for all the new listeners,
we usually have happy news at the end.
And usually there's a heist in there, right?
Well, not usually.
Whenever there's a cool heist we hear about,
we talk about it on the mashup.
Okay.
A dying thief who confessed to stealing a pair of ruby slippers
that Judy Garland wore.
in The Wizard of Oz because he wanted to pull off
one last score was given
no prison time. It reads like a movie.
It was given no prison time
at a sentencing hearing Monday. This is in Minnesota.
Terry John Martin, 76,
stole the slippers adorned with the sequins and glass
beads in 2005 from the
Judy Garland Museum in the late actors' hometown
of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. He gave
the temptation after an old associate
with connections into the mob, told him
the shoes had been adorned
with real jewels to justify their
US $1 million in shirt value.
So he smashed a glass out, stole the slippers, realized they weren't actual real rubies,
and then just gave him away.
At court, he's got a breathing machine on, and they both agreed, like, this guy's on his
lad.
He's going into hospice.
Do we really need jail time?
And they said, no, pretty much it's okay.
We know the story now.
At least we know where they went.
And they got them back.
And they got them back.
And they were sure for $2.5 million.
So, I mean, you think about it, though.
they are the perfect heist apparel.
Because, you know, it's always like,
I can break into the vault,
but how do we get back out again?
You, you knock the glass out,
you grab the slippers off the pedestal,
you put them on,
click three times,
and you're on your couch watching TV.
You don't even need a getaway driver,
which means there's one less person
to split the take with.
Okay.
from comical i'll give you great like putting that one in the middle of all these stories just fantastic
that was a great little read um about the wizard of oz and and on one last heise
made is a medical auto record okay a growing number of patients who requested medical assistance
and dying are asking to donate their organs for transplants as an international review that found
that canada is performing the most organ transplant plants from made patients among the four countries
studied that offer this practice.
Data from the Canadian Institute of Health Information confirms this new source of transplant organs
accounted for 6% of all transplants from deceased donors in Canada in 2021.
I was rather proud, quoted in the article, that Canada has done so well in terms of organ
donations by made patients at Arthur Schaefer, director of the Center for Professional
and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba.
It also goes on to say in the article 2's that the reason they believe they're doing
so well on people accepting made is because they're allowed to talk about it.
It hasn't have to be asked for by the patient.
I hate this fucking country sometimes, man.
Just where to even start with this?
What happened to the good old days when you bought them off the Brazilian black market,
Sean?
Our Canadian healthcare system has basically become pickapart for kidneys and pancreases.
This is bullshit.
Have I ever told you about like, you know, my, my last wishes?
Your last wishes?
Yeah.
So, so, you know, my, you just go ahead and do this sort of thing.
All right.
So I want to, I want my family to try and sell any and every body part they can on the black market and get the most for the cadaver.
and then whatever's left in the cheapest way possible,
bury it at the family graveyard on top of the hill back home in Saskatchewan.
And that's it.
But the key part of that is that whatever organs you can get out of there and you can sell,
you do it.
You make as much money as you can because I don't need them.
Okay.
So I don't know, maybe we need to line up a broker before I get too far along.
But I was waiting for the.
the punchline in what you're talking about.
No, but that's, that's it.
Like, I just, there's, there's so much freaking money in, in organs and stuff like that.
You're like, oh, we're running giant deficits.
What can we possibly do to turn around the economy?
What if we got everybody to kill themselves?
You know, the first time I heard about, uh, organ, organ, um, harvesting was about
China.
Right.
And the Uighers.
The Uighur Muslims.
Right.
That's first time I ever heard about it.
and selling them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And this is a different version of the same thing.
Or it's leading towards the same thing, I might add.
Maybe that's a better way of putting it.
What if we got you addicted to fentanyl and then when you didn't want to live anymore,
we will sell what's left of your liver on the black market.
And, hey, phase three, profit.
The new Pride flag is solid green.
Pride Toronto has begun repaying more than 5005.
thousand dollars in grant funding to the federal government after an accounting firm
found the organization could not prove it completed multiple projects with the money
received yeah they laundered over half a million dollars you know what they really
fucked the taxpayers in the ass on this one Sean zero use counsel defends single
use ban on Thursday Smith was more than happy to weigh in on what's become known as
the bag bylaw.
Officially, it's called the single use items bylaw.
Eminton has one. Calgary has a look-like that came in effect last week.
The new bylaw charges a dollar for reusable bags, the fee heading for $2.
It's 15 cents for a paper bag, the fee heading to 25 cents.
And when it comes to food, it's against the by-law to provide any foodware accessory,
when the customer has not requested one.
We're talking single-use spoons, forks, knives, chopsticks, utensils, straws,
stir sticks, splash sticks, cocktail sticks, toothpicks, pre-packaged, condiments, and napkins.
Toothpicks.
Toothpicks.
Jesus Christ.
And then the city of Calgary, because there's been quite an uproar about this.
And so the city of Calgary is in damage control mode.
So they go to Twitter.
And for once, some idiot leftist shit show doesn't disable comments, which is kind of nice.
but they go through this whole thread where they're trying to just nicely put a spin on it.
Like myth, the city is forcing Calgarians to pay for bags.
Fact,
Calgarians have the choice to bring their own bags and totes, groceries, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So they didn't actually dispute the myth when they did the retort.
We're actually making you pay for bags.
But you can bring your own.
Yeah.
Myth, the city is requiring business to charge for cups, lids, napkins, etc.
Fact, the city's single use item bylaw sets minimum mandatory fees.
and then they throw in some stupid other ones like myth the city is collecting mandatory bag fees to top up the city budget fact bag fees are kept by the businesses to help offset their own costs and there's myth reusable bags are worse for the environment than single use paper bags technically that's not true or false it depends on how many times it gets used but fact reusable bags are just that reusable keep them watch them and they can last for many years fact single use bags are disposable they're off
often used once and tossed away.
They didn't actually dispute anything they said in the myth.
And they said something completely fucking different.
These idiots are digging their own graves on this.
And I love to see it happen.
So glad I don't live in that fucking shit hole anymore.
Roundup kills weed and stock prices.
A subsidiary of German pharmaceutical giant Bayer was ordered to pay $2.25 billion
to a Pennsylvania man who said he developed cancer from exposure to the company's Roundup
weed killer.
A jury found that John McEvision developed non-Hodgkins lymphoma as a result of using Roundup for yard work over several years.
The verdict include $2 billion impunitive damages and $250 million in compensation.
Are you going to quit using Roundup?
Me neither.
I like having a nice lawn, even if it means I die early.
Unexpected, black-faced guy is racist.
I guess this is
So this is a couple of things
This goes back to
What's the guy's name?
Justin Trudeau
No
Who's the guy who called the Toofer?
Jamil Giovanni
Thank you had him on your show
No I haven't
Really?
I thought you had
No
Anyways
Marty up north
Has a tweet here saying
Trudeau speaking to his constituents
Outside of his cottage
This is the safest place
He can hide
showed it to Marty up north, friend of the show.
Got lots of time for Marty.
Yeah, and then the second video is...
So in that video, Justin Trudeau calls Jamil Giovanni a twofer.
A twofer.
And then here is a fun, handy little explanation of what a twofer is.
Now here, we'll see if I can actually get the door.
You got 760s. S.S.A.T.s graduated from Sunni Cortland.
Frank Rosatana was every copy of Blacktail Magazine ever published.
J.D. Lutz, thyroid problem.
James Spurlock, but we call him two for
because with him you get a two for one.
He's a black guy and a Harvard guy.
And of course, you know, he got seven and six.
There you go.
That's what he just called
the black guy running in the
conservative party or one of the black guys.
I assume there's going to be a few.
Hey.
What a racist piece of shit.
And it's the exact thing
that they stretch so far
to point out to everybody else.
Oh, you're racist.
You're racist.
Oh, you know what?
I don't think it...
It calls everybody a racist and then on camera calls him a two-for.
I don't think the carbon tax is working.
You're a racist.
I think that you should chill the fuck out on your vacations a little bit.
You're a racist.
That guy's a two-fer.
Trans-swimmer trying to sneak in the back door.
Well-played, sir.
Transgender swimmer Leah Thomas is taking secret legal action
in a bid to overturn a ban on biological males competing alongside women
in hopes to take part in the Paris Olympic trials,
according to a report.
And you know who she hired to help her do this?
A Canadian law firm.
Of course, Canada's helping.
They're going to be experts on it.
I don't know about you, Sean.
Whenever I see one of these trans athletes competing against women,
I always have the same thought.
What a dick?
Okay.
And honestly, if this dude named Leanne
Thomas is listening if you really want to compete in the next Olympics and that's something
that's really important to you, I would suggest competing against other dudes.
Yeah.
Our justice system is a joke if we hadn't pointed that out earlier.
I don't even know, man.
Just hit it real fast.
I don't want to get into it because it just makes me want to burn something down.
Prosecutors have withdrawn trial pornography charges against a repeat sex offender
arrested shortly after her release from jail to late last year.
That's one.
A pedophile who was found with over 1,000 images of children being sexually abused
announced his transgender identity during his sentencing hearing this week.
Adam Leslie McDonald, Thunder Bay was sentenced to 15 months in prison and will not,
will not have to register as a sex offender.
I just want to punch him right in his fake vagina.
But seriously, what the fuck?
Texas versus Washington
This has been something
Very interesting to pay attention to
This is a list of all the states
That have been pledging their support for Texas
To have their defiance of the federal government
This is over the southern border, right?
And you saw Tucker
Yeah
So the federal government says
We're not going to stop people from crossing the border
And Texas says
Motherfucker, that's our border
And we need to stop it.
It's getting out of hand.
And so then the federal government and states said, fuck you.
And then Texas said, no, fuck you.
And then the federal government said, cut down all the razor wire.
And the Texas government says, we're going to put up more razor wire.
Correct.
And then all the other states are jumping in.
So if we looked at that map, you've got Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, North and South
Dakota, Nebraska, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas.
Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia.
WV?
Who's WV?
I don't know.
Ohio and West Virginia?
Ah, yes, Mountain Mama, thanks.
And some tiny little one, I think Rhode Island?
No, they're further up.
Anyways, that's all the states that are sending their national guard down to Texas to help shore up the borders,
despite the federal government in the states saying,
no, don't fucking do that.
It's basically the South has rose again.
Yeah, over tens of thousands of people
just walking across the border down there.
Send them all to California.
Well, they might just fit right in.
Unlike politicians, the numbers don't lie.
BC Corner Service figures show 2,5001 people died
after using toxic street?
We need to pause for a second.
Okay.
There's a West Virginia,
but there is no east, north, or south Virginia.
Correct.
Why?
Why?
It's needlessly complicated.
Well, maybe somewhere there's an answer to that.
I sure there is.
Okay, BC coroners service figures show
2,511 people died after using toxic street drugs in 2023.
Brace yourselves.
This is, like, this is, this is an insane stat.
An average of seven people a day, seven people a day died.
In BC.
In BC.
Now, granted, lots, it's, it's got more than the other places, but still, that's seven people a day.
It's the highest number since a public health emergency was declared in 2016.
I think I, I think I have, yeah, here, here, I'm going to bring this up.
Here, you can see the stats, annual drug poisoning deaths in BC.
There you go.
From 2012.
I don't know what happened there, Tews.
It's almost as though when you allow people to have more access to things that would kill them,
they end up dying as a result more often.
I mean, remember when we covered the story about the guy who set up the food truck for heroin and cocaine,
and then he died of an overdose?
I just, I can't even remember being that shocked and surprised.
Boy, boy, oh boy, oh boy.
Finally, a good reason to see Chicago.
Did I not put up the big...
I got it.
I got you, fam.
Right here.
Yes?
Yep, yep, that's it.
That's a pothole in Chicago.
A hole in the pavement that is shaped like a rat has become Chicago's hottest new tourist attraction.
It's been around for a while, but it's just that,
nobody ever, you know, tried to monetize it.
Fonely dubbed the Chicago Radhole has captured the fascination of locals and visitors
like sparking a trend of people making pilgrimages to witness its unique charm.
Well, there you go.
Tews, would you travel across the world to see that sucker?
Probably not.
I'm going to say probably not.
No, but if I was in the neighborhood, I would definitely go check it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, like if I grew up just a little bit outside of Chicago and then I was now living in Missouri,
I'd probably go back and check it out.
The other thing I saw when I was bringing everything up just about five minutes before we went on to air is this beauty of an article.
Dutch police arrest Bird media places black bar over eyes to protect its identity.
The Dutch police arrested a bird for taking part of robbery, put in a jail cell with bread and water.
When the local media reported on it, they put a little black bar over the birds.
It basically just repeats it.
But according to Utrecht Police Department, I don't know if I'm pronounced not right,
but I'm sure some random cartel will correct me later.
The suspect had brought his bird with him, and it was sitting on his shoulder when he was stopped by the arresting officers.
Hi, this bird sat on the shoulder of a thief we arrested for shoplifting.
The department wrote, and we don't have a bird cage.
This bird had no other place to stay then inside the cell.
they added the bird is nothing question and is as far as we know not guilty of any charges that can't be a real article is that real article i guess yes yes absolutely okay all right all right let's go under our final one shall we that was it that was the happy news now we're done
stay see you a notification bell on great laughs l-l sweet 16 folks sweet 16 we got to squeeze a
in a little bit of oiler talk here.
They have a chance
to have the longest,
the longest
winning streak in NHL history.
And they'll go for it against the Vegas Golden Knights
after,
um,
yeah,
twos doesn't like me talking about this.
But they have the opportunity
to have the longest winning streak,
or at least, uh,
tie the Pittsburgh Penguins of 1993 with 17 in a row against last,
Las Bangas Golden Knights.
Would you like to read the headline?
You're not even.
Okay.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the Tuesday mashup.
I'm joined by Sean Newman.
Thanks for joining me, Sean.
We're going to get started here with Oilers finally have a streak that doesn't include their pride tunnel.
Jews is an idiot.
You did it.
You son of a bitch.
You did it.
I can't believe you.
Jews is an idiot.
Yes.
Yes.
that's so good I have to play it twice
and if that doesn't make up your day
I don't know what does folks the other thing that
the other thing is that that's the only time
they're on that thing
the flames are on there three times
and honestly
I can't believe that you see this as being a positive thing
Sean I'm pretty sure that there aren't any
Oilers fans who like anything over 16
hmm um
all right
uh the other thing is
the Super Bowl. I know we don't
talk a whole heck of a lot of sports here, folks,
but in case you were wondering,
it's going to be the San Francisco
49ers versus
the KC Chiefs.
Again with the Chiefs.
Yeah, yeah. Well, there
you go. That's mashup
91. Taylor Swift has
basically become now what Giselle Bunchin
was a decade ago, hey?
Giselle, who?
Never mind.
We probably, yeah.
Am I missing something here?
Who are you talking about? Bring her up.
Oh, well, she was with Tom Brady until Peyton Manning won the Super Bowl,
and then she was with him.
And then when Tom Brady won the Super Bowl again,
she went back with him.
She was basically like the unofficial Super Bowl trophy for a while.
Giselle.
Yeah.
Who was she with in between Brady?
What?
Peyton Manning.
And Giselle.
Yeah.
I mean, he's not pretty, but he had a fucking Super Bowl.
Bull ring. So he kind of makes up for it.
I don't know if I knew that.
You sure?
Pretty sure.
Anybody, like, did anybody else, like, I feel like it just went quiet in here all of a
sudden, you know, where are all the commentators going that no sport?
There's no, there's no way Giselle was with Peyton Manning.
What a way to end off, 91.
Everybody thought we were done here, but we're going to.
Boone chin and NFL Super Bowl.
Tom Brady set up on a blind date.
Imagine going on a blind date and it's a fucking supermodel.
Yeah, and she's thinking it's Tom Brady.
Come on.
Yeah.
Terricomid off.
After realizing their immediate chemistry.
Yeah, she's a supermodel and he's a millionaire.
For people who are tuning in, this is a Chuck Prodnickat.
There, if you can read that.
He solves everything.
Yeah.
I love that, man.
Yeah, anyways.
Okay, folks, 91 in the books.
Thanks for tuning in to all the new listeners.
Hey, thanks for showing up.
We're, uh, uh, yeah, I could care less about the Super Bowl.
I get it.
I just, I don't know.
I love sports.
I still do.
We never talk about it.
Now that we're ramming in so many headlines, I'm like, why not have a couple
things?
I just, you know, AJ Chel, like the fact that they're, you know.
We're going through triple the amount of stories.
That we used to.
In the same time.
So the new listeners, you're in for a whole, yeah, you're missing out.
We used to only do 12, 15 max.
Then we hit, we hit over 30 today.
Hey, it's a lot of stuff.
We could have talked about, and I saw it, it flew by in the comments,
but I saw somebody who's like, what the hell about the guys getting arrested in,
in Ukraine for stealing a bunch of money that was sent to them?
We cover the news here.
Everybody knew about that years ago.
All right, folks, we're going to get the heck out of here.
Thanks for tuning in to Mashup 91.
We will be back next week.
No worries there.
9 p.m. Mountain Standard time coming live from Alberta.
So there you go.
Until next week, Tuse.
Thanks, man.
See ya.
