You better have a damn good reason why you gave me a fake Christmas gift. Well, sir, I gave out the fake card because, um, I don't really celebrate Christmas. I, um, I celebrate Festivus. Feminus. Festivus, sir. And, uh, I was afraid that I would be persecuted for my beliefs. They drove my family out of Bayside, sir. Are you making all this up, too?

No, Festivus is all too real, and I can prove it if I have to. Yeah, you probably should. Happy Festivus! Welcome to the Tuesday Mashup Festivus edition. This shall be a little bit of a shock to the listeners. We're going to break from the tradition. We talked about it last week, about maybe having a, I don't know, a fun one, a long one. Next week, folks, we're going to be off.

We're going to take Christmas week off. So we're having Tuesday Mashit Festivis. edition. So first off, before we get anywhere, we better give Rohan a shout out. They are the sponsors. We don't want to get sidetracked and just forget about it. And then all of a sudden we go to upload it tomorrow morning and be like, I feel like we're forgetting something. Oh yeah, the people who pay us to do this. Do you think when they signed on, they thought, well, there's going to be a Tuesday Mashup Festivist edition brought to you by Rohan Rig Services. And this debacle, they're probably going on the what now? Yeah, so I guess we should probably just clear

you're up right off the bat. I'm sure that Rohan well servicing is a multi-faith organization and they don't necessarily adhere to only festivist. There's probably some Jewish people there too. If you're anywhere across this great country and looking for work, looking to get out of the shackles that might be out east or west, come to Alberta and have a little bit of fun working for Rohan Rig Services, make some good money. And that'd be my dog.

He's saying hello to everyone as well. He likes the idea too. Yeah. I mean, if you're a big fan of Festivus, you probably know about feats of strength, and you'll get to do a lot of them if you want to come work in rigs. All right. What are we doing this week, too, is you know? Like, I feel like you're just, folks, he's like vibrating.

We've got to do this twice in a row in person, so that's why you get no video because we're just sitting at the kitchen table. and we got a little bit of, I don't even know how to, Glenn. Nothing you try and pronounce in Celtic or Gaelic or whatever it is, which is a hilarious word. We've got a festive drink in front of us. We're going to have a little bit of fun tonight, and we're going to see where this goes. It's Christmas, it's Tuesday Meship Festivis edition. So anyways.

Yeah. Yeah, so I guess we're just simultaneously pissing off. off every other religion by ignoring them entirely and going with the fake one from Seinfeld as his tradition. It just seems fitting, doesn't it, folks? I don't know. Although I think next year we should do like the full on. Feats of strength.

Well, that's where we need to go. We'll do some First Nations leg wrestling and whatever else. Just maybe we record it. Maybe we're just like, you guys are going to have to listen to this. And then they just kind of hear some kerfuffle as we're wrestling. You're fucking cheating. Put your hips down. I say we go all out next year.

Well, I tell you what, before we get into it, Merry Christmas, Tews. Merry Christmas. You know, like this is next week we won't be on. And obviously by then, you know, it'll be December 20th today is when this will actually air. So Merry Christmas to everyone out there. But Tews and I are going to take a break for a week in between Christmas, New Year's. we take Festivus very seriously yes that's right sure

anyways what do you got what do you got I see you staring at the computer what are you looking at okay well first off I've got to air some grievances okay number one Elon Musk Twitter we're probably going to come back to this

later on but for now why do the bookmark why does the bookmark feed need to refresh all the damn time when you're scrolling through it it just could send you right to the top again and then you got to try and go through it and then it just does it all

willy-nilly and randomly it literally just did it now while I'm looking at it. Figure your shit out. Okay. Is Elon Musk actually going to step down? Did that poll backfire on him? No, I don't think it did. If you look at everything he's been doing,

he's been five steps and moves ahead of everyone else. Okay, let me give him the background, okay? So December 18th, so two days ago, he released a poll, said, should I step down ahead of Twitter? And I will abide by the results of this poll. And the poll got voted on by 17 million people. And it was voted yes, as in you should step down. 57.5% said yes.

And then he responded at the end of the poll saying, as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for, what you wish, as you might get it. And I did like the Babylon B saying, yes. He checked the mail-in ballots and won. Yeah. That was clever.

That was clever. Anyways, very much so. Do you think he's stepping down? I think so. I mean, you think about it, like the guys got a lot of plates spinning in the air right now. You know, you got Tesla, you got SpaceX, you got that Starlink, the Neurlink thing. You know, for him to take over another company, Twitter. And he can still have just a bigger impact tweeting and he doesn't have to run the day-to-day operations.

Well, yes and no, because I think with him tweeting as much and as well as he does, He's probably got a whole team helping him out with it. You think he's going to get rid of his team? The guy's worth billions of dollars. And he's probably still going to be tweeting a fair bit, but when it comes to him overseeing the day-to-day stuff, he's probably got investors and shareholders just saying, what the hell are you doing?

We want you to build electronic vehicles and you're fucking around on your fucking Twitter handle when you're supposed to be working. This is the kind of stuff people get fired from in red. regular jobs. It's true, but look at how popular he's made Twitter. Oh, absolutely. It's blown up for sure.

It's become the funnest place to be on social media. Without a doubt. Although, I mean, it's the only place I'm on social media, so it's also the worst. I'm on Instagram, and I don't find, honestly. And I know there's lots of people that love Instagram because it's just pictures and stuff, but you don't understand what you're missing on Twitter. Like, Twitter is the funest place to just scroll. And now that I'm Twitter blue, I get like...

See, the greatest feed ever of like all these people that I try and fall. It's, it's, it is, it is true. When you pay for something, you just get like, uh, you get, uh, just top notch. Like, so my, my feed now is like gold. It's just awesome to watch. Yeah. Well, I've got my, I, when you said you subscribe to Twitter Blue, I was like, well, okay, maybe it's up back.

It's back up again. And so I tried it with my regular. a laptop and it just kind of grayed out and it didn't load it looked like something was trying to load but never did and I went back and tried it again and now that you just mentioned it I've got my work laptop in front of me and it came up so yeah I guess I'm going to be Twitter blue by the time you guys hear this tomorrow hell yeah hell yeah anyways I know yeah it's about damn time I got a blue check mark yeah and honestly like it's for eight bucks a month there are far less entertaining things that I've wasted money on. I mean, that's one drink at a bar. Well, the thing for us, too,

um, uh, as creators, right? And we've talked about this lots. If you're a creator, if you're somebody who wants to like get things out there and like really harness the tools that you have at your, uh, uh, fingertips, um, Twitter is an interesting one. And for if he's going to make it more, we were talking about this, like user friendly for creators. It behooves you to try and get on it, rate it from the start and see what he's going to do. with it. And yeah, you're seeing, I was saying this earlier, like we just saw the Pleb do it. I've seen Nadine Ness do it lots. Yep. With her, her different spaces. And she always picks times that don't work for me. Nadine, seriously, I love you, but. Yeah, figure two schedule. Yeah. Yeah, honestly,

like, would it help if I just, you know, linked you to it or something? Yes. Yeah, there's, There's a lot of fun to be had out there. And I think that probably in about a year or so, all of the people who are tired of dealing with YouTube and trying to avoid saying the wrong thing to get censored and everything else like that, they're just going to be doing the same thing as YouTube, but on Twitter.

And it's going to be a lot more fun and a lot more relevant. Yeah, well, actually, I got asked today. You know, are you going back on YouTube? And I'm like, well, I love the, like, I don't know if there's a better platform for, like, videos and finding things and blah, blah, blah, blah. But when you can't literally say one word without having your entire conversation removed, it doesn't, like, I'd have to police myself.

I literally have to be like, I can't say these things, and I'd have to do exactly, and I just, I don't goddamn me, folks. Like, I just, I don't know how to do that. Yeah, and I don't know. It might be that with what Elon Musk has been doing in the past few weeks, and probably still will be doing, but he's understandably got to, step away because he's running a half dozen different companies that are all huge. It stands to reason that YouTube for the kind of stuff we do is probably going to start going

the way in my space. Interesting. Yeah. You're going to get Neurrelink if he, like, who's going to do that? I have no interest in NeurLink. If they had something that was in a hat, sure. I'd, I'd ask a few more questions. but as far as like...

So what is he up to with that? Why would that be on the top of his list? I feel like a lot of this stuff that Elon Musk has done has been him saying, wouldn't it be cool if we could? Sure. And then just taking it from there. Sure.

When you hear, if you ever listen to it's an old one, but one of his interviews with Joe Rogan where he was talking about all the different things that make Tesla, a much better vehicle. And his thought process was like, what's everything you hate about a vehicle that you just never even thought about

because that's just how vehicles are? And what if we made a vehicle that didn't do that? And, you know, what if we could send stuff into space and do it at a tenth of the cost the government does? Because honestly, anytime someone tries to do something the government does, they do it at a tenth of the cost. Well, you can't just go to space. That's what NASA is for.

Well, yeah, but they suck at it. Okay, well, what if we just did it? Cool. Let's try. Let's see what it looks like. And then, all right. It's true, but he's so smart. He's terrified of AI.

And instead of distancing himself, and I don't know what doing, he moves the human species closer to cyborg status than, you know, I don't know. I mean, really, you want somebody who's going to be scared of what it could do. You know, you want someone who's going to, it's like, it's like shooting a gun. You got to treat it with respect. You got to know what it's capable of so that you can use it safely. And maybe he's the guy to do it. I'm not interested in getting a chip put in my brain. But I figure if anybody can, it's probably him.

And I hope everybody who gets it doesn't end up, I don't know, getting weird subliminal messaging in their brains. you know like like Twitter ads but oh Sean's taking care of the dog so I'm just going to go on a rant I've got an error grievance with Sean something really happened that pissed me off the other day so I went and I was catching up with a buddy of mine I hadn't seen in like a year and he's been listened to the mashup every week and he was saying how much he liked it which is awesome and then he was like, dude, the funniest thing you have ever said on the mashup, or like anywhere else. There was that one week where you were talking and he goes through and he just reenacted

this whole thing that he's telling me that I said. And when he gets done, I was like, oh, yeah, thanks. Because I wasn't the one who said it. It was Sean's line. The funniest thing that he has taken from all of our mashups. Was mine line? was one of your lines. What was my line?

It was shit. That's what it was, Sean. Sure. I mean, that's what people are here for is my comedic relief, right? I mean, pretty much. It was just like, he wasn't even doing it to be funny. He legit thought that that was the line that I had said, and it was the line that you had said,

and I was like, that motherfucker, I cannot wait to just, I'm going to give him a peace of my mind. And I was going to do it during the intro song, because I assume you weren't going to play the clip. Actually, you know what? That's the one thing that went in everybody's favor was that we didn't do the clip and we didn't do the full version this week.

But if we had done the full version, I was going to start off by just giving you a piece of my mind about how shitty that was. I was like, that son of a bitch, that son of a bitch. What have you thought? We've done 34, right? 34, right? I think 34.

I think it's 34, right? What has been your thoughts? You know, when we started this, I don't know if we ever talked about this, because, you know, we get into the clips and whatever else. And then the first, like, four or five are just kind of like gone to the universe because we put them on Rumble and I don't know where the hell they went. They're probably on a file of mine somewhere, right? Because if you're on Rumble, like you could find them. But if you go through my podcast or your podcast, it starts. They're not on there.

It goes to like. They're like the B sides. They're the missing sort of. Episode six, and you're like, well, we're the first five. It's like, well, I don't know. They're gone to the universe. Like, go find them if you want. But I like that.

Yeah, it was, it was, I don't know if I'd want to go back and listen to them. I guess it'd be okay. Anyways, what do you, what do you thought? You know, it was kind of this stupid idea. I mean, it still is. We're doing festivus at, you know, anyways. What, what do you thought of the first year of the Tuesday mashup and 34, you know, different iterations of it? well there hasn't been a week where have i haven't enjoyed myself like this has been a lot of fun

every single week and you know when we talked about it and what it might look like and we were kind of just figuring it out on paper before we did the first one which was very very loose we're like okay we kind of get this idea here's here's a couple of things and we just kind of went with it and it was it was the same thing we've been doing but there's a lot of nuance between there and here. There's been a lot of fine tuning and stuff like that. But after the first one, after the very first one, I was like, yeah, this is, this is a lot of fun and it's gold. And I hope to hell, Sean realizes it too. Because even if nobody listens to it, I'll still do this every week. Yeah, we were, for the listener, I think when we first talked, I think we started at three, three and a half minute

segments. And I was just, you know, I'm like, it's too long. And we get, but now we get harassed the other way, right? It'd be nice if you guys would talk longer. And, but some of the fun is how quick and rapid fire it is, right? Like, it's so different than anything I do. Well, it's different than anything else out there, which actually, it's funny. I got a, I got a new review of my podcast on Apple.

Yeah. And it was a two-star review. review and it said that it's fairly boring you must have been so happy you must have been so happy well i just it stood out because usually it's just five or one right i mean there's not much for middle ground i think i've got like one that's funny i would have your your audience would have clued in by now everything twos uh that was oh yeah i didn't even think about that that's probably the best review i've got it it's probably is actually the more i think about it i'm going to go and leave you a two-star review yeah it's perfect but this person you

It might be the only podcast where if it was two, it'd be perfect. And you can show that off all week long. Like, I got a two-star review. I'd want the odd three-star review in there just so that it came out to an even 2.22. That's right. That's right. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, they said it's just your basic sort of everyday political commentary that everybody

else is doing. And I'm like, who the hell else is doing what we're doing. I don't think there's anybody else who's doing anything close to it. They gave you a two-star and then said it's like everything else. It feels like such a, like, perfect... I'm questioning everything right now. That's a perfect review. I didn't even think of that.

Like, it sounds like somebody knows you very well. Well... Because we both know there's nothing quite like this at all. No. Like, I haven't seen anything like this. I'm sure out there, there's something, but I haven't seen it. There's recaps and stuff like that, but it's not rapid fire by any means. No.

And they give you two stars. If they really hated it, it would have been one. Like, I mean, nobody falls into that with you. Like, that seems perfect. Yeah. You know, it's funny. Like, thinking about it now, I should have just been asking for two-star reviews the whole time.

The whole time. The whole time. Yeah. Because, like, I think right now, you know, I don't have a pulled up, but I want to say on Apple, I have like a 4.94. And you could get to a 2.22.

See, and I'm probably something like a 4.8. I'm almost sure. Maybe I'm a bit of an acquired taste. I'm far less. Genial than you are. Not nearly as... Genial? Yeah.

Genial? Genial. What the fuck does that mean? It's like genital without the teeth. Okay. Well, I mean, just in terms of spelling, right? Friendly and cheerful, genial. Yeah.

I got to be honest. If I'm going to learn something today, that was it, folks. Genial. Festivist with genial, you know? Well, I think the last time... We're all genial here on the... the old festivist mashup. We definitely are.

I think the last time I was on your podcast like before we started the matchup. You could get a 2.2 on Apple. I got a 4.9. Oh, okay. Just throw that out there. Okay, yeah, yeah.

Hey, leave a review, would you? Actually, leave a review of everybody's stuff. I was able to leave a review of my own podcast, logged in as the creator of the podcast. Are you going to go back

and leave it as a two review? I think I might have to. But when I left it, I was like, I can't believe they're letting me do this. I am 222 minutes and I am leaving a review of my own show. It's five stars. Go fill your ear holes. Right? That's that's my review of my show, which is a bit of a conflict

of interest. You think about it. You got to really hate a show. Really hate a show. To give it two stars. To leave it a review. Or usually the opposite way, you really got to like a show to leave a review. because I mean how many people I don't like leaving a review I just I don't know I just I listen and I move on and I'm sure there's a special person that wants to leave a review all the time

but I would implore anyone who's listened to this and take two seconds because it's pretty cool like people like I look at it and of course if you're other if you're getting invited on as a guest and you want to find out what a podcast is like you can just quickly browse that

and be like oh, they're doing something right? Because, I mean, they have zero reviews and they've been going for four years. Or they got hundreds of reviews, maybe thousands of reviews, and it looks like it's a top-not show, right? Well, it's one of those things that we could probably be better at

in terms of just, you know, like asking for reviews, asking for recommendations. Like, listen, if you're listening to this right now, maybe don't recommend this episode because we're just going to start getting drunk in the next hour. But generally speaking, you should recommend this show to other people. But we never ask for that.

No, we never do. No, we never do. And so much a podcast is word of mouth. That's how I heard of Joe Rogan. Yeah, I know. But, okay, okay. I have two thoughts. First thought, it's going to sidetrack us for just 10 seconds.

All right. Well, we've got time. Derry Cartel, I forgot to call you back. I feel really bad. He called me. And then, and then, and then, and then, and then, Sean got busy with children. so give dad brain a little bit of a scapegoat there and then I got really busy and I forgot all about it

but now I'm sitting here and like there's a whole bunch of people that thought dairy cartel might be coming on this week and I didn't return his call so that's on him too I mean he's got my number because we've talked a fair bit like I reached out to him called out called out I reached out to him and I was like hey are you coming on the show or what and he's like yeah I never heard back from Sean I mean

I kind of feel like Like this is You're the second fiddle Yeah I know Like I'm part of this I'm part of this too guys I got the best joke of the year And the best liner

From the show supposedly And apparently you're the dad of the show I'm the king maker Hey I'm the king maker Okay what was the second thing What were we talking about? You had two thoughts I know

But Scotch is already Hitting the brain And I'm already like I'm already in the festivist mode of like time to kick back and relax. That's not what Festiv is about. It's not what it's about. I know.

I realize. But anyways, yeah, I forget. We were talking about reviews. Somebody's yelling. Reviews and how we don't really ask for, you know,

things like that. It's gone, you know. Okay. Somebody's yelling at the radio. You morons. And I'm like, yeah,

well, here we are. Piss you off. It's all good. Welcome to Tuesday, Matt. You guys try doing this sometime. I mean, even when you invite you,

we invite you, you don't show up. You guys just come up with flimsy excuses to bail because you don't want the dairy cartel to cancel you. You're like, oh yeah, I heard you guys were on the Tuesday mashup. Yeah, it's a damn shame. We're going to have to cut back your milk quota. How do you guys feel about centralized planning now?

Somewhere, folks, it's four in the morning and somebody's losing their absolute shit. And it's great. You know, when you feel like you can just talk through the airwaves and probably piss someone off and make them laugh all at the same time, that's talent. I mean, we've really got a great audience.

Oh, yeah, I mean, I'll trash talk the dairy cartel until the cows come home. It's kind of a dad joke. Kind of a dad joke. Okay, it was a dad joke anyways. I don't know. What do you got for me? What do you got on that side?

I'm trying to remember what the hell I was talking about. There's so many things that have been pissing me off, like in terms of the airing of grievances. There's that Swedish, zoo. Did you hear about that? A bunch of chimps escaped. Yeah.

And they just killed a bunch of them. It's Harambe all over again. Like, we're finally getting past Harambe. We're starting to forget, which we should never do. But at the same time, we don't want to repeat it. And maybe that's why we repeated it is because we forgot about it. What the hell are you talking about? Oh, some place called Fuervik in Sweden.

Uh-huh. Because everything's called Fjewvik. Chivik. Okay. Shot four chimps. Killed them. Okay. And?

Because they escaped. Right. You don't, like, just, if they want out, let them go. Let them go live with the reindeer. Let them go, you know, eat fisk and drink that weird liqueure they make from rotting fish. But if they let the chimps out, then they start talking the other chimps, giving them bad ideas. And then all of a sudden you got a full-on revolt. It feels like planting.

the apes to me then you put them down we can never talk about it ever again for an example all the other chimps before them if sweden wants to get taken like if if the monkeys want to take over sweden i say let them honestly have you ever tried to put together their furniture i feel like a fucking monkey every time i do you know it's funny i was working um around Copenhagen and then we had the weekend off and we went to Malmo to go see the blue jackets play some local team um like um you know just preseason it was like September or something like that and so we take the train that goes it's this big causeway train that goes between mainland Copenhagen or i think it's the island actually and then over to sweden and the first thing you see

when you get off the train is an IKEA. I'm like, seriously, you fucking stereotypes. This is just like, it's exactly what you'd expect. And then you go to the game, and the most they'll serve you that you can go to the stand in, like that you can go to your seat in, is like 2% beer. Because there's so many...

Who trains 2% beer? Americans. Fair. Kind of like water. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, they're like... Hey, did you...

Speaking of the stage, did you see that we had a listener from Nebraska? Nebraska, yes. Hey, I'm just... I'm getting a sidetracked here. But, you know, without the time frame and the buzzer going off... Here, let me pull it up here quick.

Because, you know, we'd love to hear where everybody's listening from. So if we haven't said, you know, at times I think we should get like a little map so we could just be putting pins in anyways. Like in Pazers in Calgary. Sure. sure yeah absolutely either either way

do you know what pazers is no listening from Nebraska and I said we you like wee and they replied back sorry don't speak Canadian so then I replied fucking yeah fuck yeah fuck yeah not fucking yeah Jesus and do I sound like a Canadian

they're gonna be laughing at me right now anyways so I thought that was pretty cool so if you're listening from somewhere hit us up on the old text line let's hear where we got the listeners coming in from happy festivist to y'all happy festivist to y'all but i will say if you want to talk to brasca let's talk fucking corn and let's talk mash and let's talk whiskey and how it's bullshit that american whiskey is mandated to have at least 50% corn mash and if you talk to anybody from the states they say well that's because it's so much better with it and my argument is if it's better with corn mash in it you wouldn't have to have a rule in place people would do it already

Uh, sure, sure. But, I mean, that's just, that's just me, maybe. Can I show you something? I, it better not be your dick, but okay. So, uh, Harvey Weinstein got, uh, okay, so that's where you're going. Oh, 100%. Okay. Uh, you're talking about, you know, I got it.

I don't need a show, I don't need a spot on the mashup that bad, Sean. So I'm going to show, to use a picture. It says, Harvey Weinstein's on the top of it. It says, no one is forcing you to have sex. with me, but if you refuse, you don't get to work, okay? And then underneath it is Justin Trudeau and a billboard beside him, not forcing you just, not forcing you, just taking away everything until you consent. Yeah.

And I'm like, I'm the guy, well, I mean, to be fair, it's probably going to be variously ascribed, but I think that was my point, if you go back far enough, was just, yeah, yeah, it's not, no one's forcing you to put this inside you. But if you don't put it inside you, all of your future dreams and aspirations are over. So why don't you just put this inside you? We're just going to put a little shot in you. And then as time goes on, you might need a second, third, fourth, fifth injection as well. I was just, so yesterday's episode 3.59 was Chuck Prodnick and Dave Moriarty,

two guys who served over in Afghanistan. But Chuck, the first guy, had served four tours, one of them in Bosnia. In Bosnia is where they had like neighbor, neighbor, good friends end up like having cleansings in there where they tried wiping out the, you know, all the different ethnicities and you get the point. And he was talking about, you know, how do we get there? Like, how do you get here? And none of them can describe it. And he talked about language and. they started saying things and pointing things, blah, blah.

And I just, when I heard him talk about, I'm like, man, the last year, I wonder how close we got, not to ethnic cleansing folks, but, you know, that's getting real serious here, but for a second, but, like, how close we got to, like, violence where, you know, it was, I mean, I think I can say it aloud. It was vaccinated versus unvaccinated. It was very us versus them, and it was pushed from the top down. And it could have go wild there. It almost did.

Absolutely. And then trucker convoy happens. I was just going to say, I think probably the only thing that kept us from getting further out of hand was the convoy. Yeah, well, it pushed. It pushed, I don't know what, you, majority of Canadians, I don't know what that means. I don't know if that's 51% or 78%. Well, technically those are both majorities.

I agreed. But, you know, that's a big difference, right? Like, are we talking about 16 million people agreed? We talking like 28 million people agreed. maybe more. At some point, there was a ton of Canadians that agreed what was going on there. They keep trying to prop up that nobody did, but it's such bullshit. Oh, yeah.

Honestly, if you want to go back and watch the fifth of state episode that they did about the convoy, it's a perfect indication of them knowing exactly where their bread gets buttered because it was honestly the most dishonest thing I've ever seen from the CBC and that's saying something. And I mean, like, that's when they got Pat King and they played what Jeremy McKenzie said on a phone saying he didn't want to get interviewed because they were basically dishonest. Yep. And then one other, Bauder, right? The guy who was kind of the, he brought the religion side of things into it. James Bauter.

Yeah. Nice enough guy, I'm sure. But. No, no, no. If you listen to him. If you listen to him talk for like more than about 30 seconds, he sounds crazy. And if you ever read that memorandum of understanding, which I hadn't even heard of until months after the convoy, it looks like somebody just ate a bunch of legal documents and then threw them up. And however they landed was however it read.

Like it was just it was almost laughably bad. Like it was just straight up awful. and then the shitty thing was was that it gave, well, it gave the far left extremists, impetus to just shit all over everything that people were trying to do. Because they're like, oh, well, this is, this is what you guys are talking about. This is what you're standing for. And you're like, I've never heard of this guy. I don't know who he is.

I've never seen this document before. Can you give me a link? And they're like, oh, what do you mean? This is your like, this is basically your, Constitution. Well, no, no, no. I just think that what the government's doing is shitty. What is this other thing that we're talking about here?

Yeah. Yeah, that memorandum of the memorandum of understanding, which is, you know, say that five times fast, was just horribly, like it was probably one of the worst written things I've ever read, and I got halfway through the first Twilight novel. You did not. I did. You started reading the Twilight level?

It was before the movies came out. My younger cousin, she was telling me, I was just over there visiting one day, and she was like, oh, she was reading the book. The Twilight fan. Well, she was reading. Werewolves are. No, I just like books. Yeah, it was something like that.

But I just like reading. Don't play down, twos. We know you read them. I read half of the first one. And I am a person who finishes a book they start, almost without exception. There's that, like the second or third true blood book. And then the third Dexter book, like the only books that I've ever really walked away from without finishing intentionally where I've just been like, this is just too bad. I need to walk away.

And it was before the movies came out, my younger cousin was like, oh. You know, what are you doing? I'm reading this book. It's kind of cool. Like, oh yeah, what's it called? Twilight. Okay, yeah, I'll give it a shot. And then, yeah, I just, you know, it was funny, like a few years after that, like, this is way back in the day.

A few years after that, I was dating this girl and go over to a house for the first time, and she's got that on the coffee table. And I'm like, oh, you're reading the Twilight books. Yeah, yeah, they're pretty good. Instacab breakup. I was like, here, let's do a little experiment. This is like, what? And I said, I bet you I can open this up to any random page

and find at least one grammatical error. Like, not even just that the book sucks, just as a principle, but also that it was edited poorly. The publishers didn't give a shit. This was just, let's throw it out there and make a bunch of money and fuck anybody who values literacy. And there were four. And that's the thing.

I didn't even pick like the double page of when you unfold the book. I picked one of the pages. And there were still four mistakes. It's just an absolute travesty. It's like somebody took the English language and put a big old greasy shit on it. You know, it's funny is I never ever, ever thought of,

ever picking that book up, folks. I hope you're in my cap. It was before the movies came out. So I didn't have that. And honestly, like with Robert Pattinson and the way he's reinvented himself. A lot of your friends. Okay. We're going to take a short break and give you the next little Festivus clip.

Hey, happy Festivus, everyone. You can't go. Who's going to do the Feats of Strength? How about George? Good thinking, Cougar. Until you pin me, George, festivist is not over. Oh, please, someone stop this. Let's rumble.

I think you can take him, Georgie. Come on, be sensible. Stop crying and fight your father. This is the best Festivist ever. Stop crying and fight your father, hey, twos? Oh, God, that show cracks me up. even to this day. I tell you what,

that might be the funest part of this entire episode is, uh, is, uh, is the Seinfeld like three second clips? Yeah.

That's the best part of this episode. It might be. Not us shooting the shit for like, however long this goes. Just, yeah. If I could interject with, uh,

six more of those, maybe I should. I don't know. Honestly, I feel like, yeah, as, I've offended.

As, as much as we might, airing of the grievance as, that we're doing things that... Sean has offended to's deeply. But I mean, here's the thing is, it doesn't matter how good it is. If you just sprinkle in a little bit of Seinfeld,

it's going to be better. Oh, 100% it's going to be better. I mean, uh, I got to, what do you think, what do you think the proportion? Because I feel like there's the...

Like their demographics? Yeah, eternal argument, eternal, forever argument, whatever, uh, that people, friends or Seinfeld. What do you think on our audience? I tell you what? Friends are Seinfeld, folks.

I'd take that text tomorrow, too. Are you friends? Are you Seinfeld? Certainly, Derry Cartel, when you text me or talk to me at 4 a.m. with a. that I will look at at about 7 a.m. I would love to know Seinfeld or friends. That might say a lot about people. I got a sneaking suspicion that the Dairy Cartel is going to be very united in the Ross and Rachel front.

Fuck out. I don't think so. I think, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe people value, maybe people value friends more. I don't know.

I don't know. I mean, greatest show ever might be Seinfeld on, Sigums. Hey, just saying. Well, that incurred, but, I mean,

it's still Larry David at the end of the day. Yeah, yeah, everybody always says that. I never watched him. I know, and you're going to stare at me like that after you've talked about Twilight for fucking how long.

Anyways. Oh, I didn't say it was good. I just said that I gave it an honest try before. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, and I'll probably hear about it. Anyways, anyways, what do you got on your computer? Oh, my God. Okay, so further airing of grievances. This Polera run survey trying to compare things between 2022 and 1992 and how they've changed.

And it's garbage. Like, this is just, it's absolute Bush League. one of the things they did was rate public opinion on a bunch of different Canadian institutions on a scale of 1 to 10. Okay. Right? If you think something is exactly average on a scale of 1 to 10, what do you give it? Average?

Yeah. If something is just exactly right down the middle, it's a perfect strike. Nothing one way or the other up down, left, right, on a scale of 1 to 10, what do you give it? I was about to say a 7. What the fuck is... That's not even close. Is it five? Is five supposed to be the answer?

I feel like five is... I'm kind of using my IMDB brain right now. Okay. I hate a movie. I hate a movie. Okay. Like beyond mediocre, it's five. Okay, this isn't like when you're rating girls

and nobody ever really uses the bottom like three, four, and five. Okay, well, that's the way the brain was. No, no, no. I'm saying like if you can give it anywhere between one and ten... Have I just messed up this entire... Okay. Well, no, no, no. Actually, you...

Yes, but not. No. Okay. So I'm leading you into something that is going to blow your mind, but it also blew my mind in the exact same way when I realized this. Okay. Okay. So if you have the options anywhere between one and ten to rate something. Okay. And it's exactly middle of the road. What value do you give it? I already said. Probably a 6.5. Now it's, God damn it. Okay. Generally speaking, if you give people option between 1 and 10, the answer is, Five.

Okay. Sure. All right. Now, if you give an equal weighting to all of the numbers between. You know what? Let's move on to the next thing. This is just Jesus Christ. You know what?

You should be drinking the 2% beer right now because you're just fucking difficult. Are you going to finish your story? Okay. Well, most sane people are going to say five is the middle of the road. Sure. But here's the thing. add up the numbers one through 10 you get 55 and so the average of them is 5.5 and that's why a scale of 1 to 10 is a misleading thing to use when you're trying to glean overall satisfaction about whatever

it is that you're surveying and so what you should do is something like a scale of 1 to 7 5's a little bit too simplistic 9's a little bit weird 11's just getting too long and so on after that right and so anyway the thing about it is is when you go one to ten you're in you're intentionally because honestly the people who do this for a living they can't not know this this is like the third thing I learned about marketing and it just frustrates the hell out of me that you've got these institutions in ottawa who are so fucking stupid and nobody ever calls them on it where you say look Like, your data is fucked no matter what way it goes. And they're like, oh, we're just going to go with it anyway

because we just get all these lucrative government contracts, abacus data, for example. I mean, even, shit. Angus Reed, honestly, is, like, they'll, I was one of the people who did their surveys for a while. And they'd kick you out if you give them answers they didn't like because it wasn't fitting into the normative thing. And they're like, well, you know what?

Like, just because I think the little lot of the parties are bullshit, doesn't mean that my opinion is invalid. Fair. Right? But I come back to, you know, when we were talking about leaving reviews and who leaves a one review, you know, you got to be very, like, very offended, I would say. Or something must have went really wrong. Like, you talk about the Twilight Book series.

Like, I get why you'd actually give that a one review. Like, that was terrible. That was beyond terrible. That was almost like an offense to writing in general. That's why I'm giving you a one. Did you ever rate movies on IMDB? No, but I do do Google.

I do do. I do do do do. I do give things reviews on Google every once in a while. And generally there are either one or five because that's the only time that you think that it's worthwhile to give a review. There was this one time where I stopped in at a gas station between Calgary and Saskatoon and,

I can't remember exactly where it was, but it was, I gave it one star, and I said the only thing more discussing than their bathrooms were their prices, or something to that effect, right? Those are the kind of reviews you, like, well, the reason I bring up IMDB, and the reason probably my brain thinks the way it does

is when you're, like, I don't go out and find, what's the worst movie you've ever seen? Well, I haven't seen it yet, but I want to. that new AOC documentary. She tried to do a documentary and it got released in 180 theaters and it made less than $10,000 revenue. She tried to do a documentary

about the Green New Deal and how she's trying to get it passed and how she's, you know, just trying to set her up. Nobody wants to hear. I'm saying like where you paid... When you talk about the scale of one to ten, okay? What's the worst movie I've ever gone?

And seen in the theater? Bingo. My brain immediately goes to, okay, scale of 1 to 10, we're talking movies. And so when you talk, how do you rate them? It's like, seven is pretty average. When you tell somebody about a movie and you go, how is it? Yeah, it was good. Good is, good is seven.

And you go, oh, that's good. No, no, no, that isn't good. Seven is just like, yeah. Like, I should have waited for Netflix. But a five, a five really means like, man, you don't want to see that. You don't even want to look at it at Netflix. See, and that's why the scale, one to ten,

it's like a business gets a six. It ain't good. Yeah, is it above average? Sure, but nobody's going to a six. See, but you're using the rating system for girls, for women as... And for movies. For everything else, right?

What was the last movie you went and saw in theater? Where you actually went in... Tom Come Ever. Yeah. That you went in, and it was like, fucking terrible. And you were like, I, I just can't. This is bad.

This is like beyond bad. Oh. I tell you what. The last time that I was genuinely, supremely disappointed in a movie was, I want to say Get Carter? And I even saw that by accident. I thought, like, I just fucked up the movie stub and I was supposed to meet some buddies and I ended up in the wrong movie.

And this is like 20 years ago. Like, Get Carter is like this old Stallone movie. I remember. That nobody even remembers. Yeah, I remember. Okay. Well, anyways. I never watched it, but I remember.

But that was probably one of the, oh. I'll give you the one for me. Phantom Menace probably. Yeah, I hated. Stealth. You know of the movie Stealth? You saw stealth in the theaters? Jamie Fox.

Uh, Jessica Beal. Yeah. Yeah, I remember where they had the automated plane. Oh, man. I never saw it, but I know about it. Like, literally, by the time they're blowing people's heads off at the end. You were like six when that movie came out. It was out of high school.

Just out of high school. No, you weren't. It came out in 96. 2005. No way. Stealth came out in 2005. Oh, I'm thinking Broken Arrow. Oh, Broken Arrow was a decent movie.

You're not around Broken Arrow. John Travolta. And, um... Shoot. can see the actor's head on picturing him and he was in pump up the volume

and Christian Slater Christian Slater yeah yeah yeah shit you know after we're done this we might have to actually broken arrow

I actually tuned back into it was probably a terrible flick now but at the time I'm like you know it was entertaining see entertaining has its own value yeah that's why you can get a seven for a crappy film you know

we I you know went and saw Godzilla once upon a time. The newer ones. Godzilla 2000 or like the new new one? No, no. Brian Cranston and... Just before the Brian Cranston.

That was Godzilla 2000 with Matthew Broaddard. No, there's one in between. Godzilla films. Let's... Okay, this has become Tuesday mashup movie edition. Godzilla movies. Okay, here we go. Yeah, you guys just have to bear with us.

We don't have a Jamie. No, we don't. No, how many Godzilla movies are there? Probably, probably dozens. Yeah, there's a lot. I mean, you've got Godzilla versus Mothra, Mecca Mothra, Godzilla versus the Thing, Godzilla Returns, Godzilla, blah, blah, blah, blah,

Godzilla, you name it. I'm sure you probably fought Freddy Kruger at some point. Godzilla 2000 is not the one I was thinking of. I was thinking of Godzilla Planet of the Monsters, I think. Godzilla Planet of the Apes? That would be a cool crossover. I think that's the one.

It came out in 2017. 1998 was Godzilla. That was a solid flick. That's with Matthew Broderick. Yeah. Yeah, that was the one that had Green Day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was decent.

And then it also had Puff Daddy that come with me song. No, it might have just been Godzilla. It might have been the one that came out in, The one that came out in 2014. 2014 had a Godzilla? Yes, this is what I mean. So when I went to it, my wife at the time, at the time, my wife,

literally goes, you are going to go see that? And I'm like, with a buddy, and I'm like, yeah, we're going to go see it. We know it's going to be a dumb flick. But as long as it's entertaining, it gets like, honestly, it gets like a 6.5 or 7 because it's like, that's what you want out of a movie. You want to be entertained.

I went and saw War of the Worlds when it came. came out and I went and saw it in Lloyd and it sucked. Actually, that's... War of the Worlds. Fair, but War of the Worlds isn't a five. Like, it isn't a stinker. You don't walk out going, that was a fucking stinker. The end of it, the end of it is maybe a stinker.

But the majority of the movie is a bet. I mean, you got Tom Cruise fighting these aliens for two and a half hours, and then you realize that water kills them. And, oh, what 70% of the planet that they tried to invade covered in? Water. Like, maybe you guys could have fucking planned this a little bit better. you alien bastard idiots yeah like i said i just go back to the scale this is how we get into this entire argument folks i'm like yeah yeah but who rates anything five but i don't go looking for

movies just to rate them fours i don't do that what i do rate is movies i spent money on so if i spent money on the tuesday mashup or i spent money on the 222 minutes and it sucked i'd be like you're getting a review because i don't want people to go through that i just stayed at a place in Emmettin. I was pretty sour about this. Okay? So, like by the hour kind of thing? No. I drive down there Thursday. Forgetting that Mel has my credit card.

Okay. Okay. So I'm calling hotels and I'm going, listen, I got my ID. I got a picture of the credit card. I got my debit card. I got money. Just tell me what I need to do. Fair enough. Sir, if you don't have your credit card, you can't stay here. And I'm going like, fuck me. Like, this is the, this is the, this is the, this is the,

Social credit system right now. People want to know how you get fucked in that world. This is how it is. I got everything but a credit card, and I can't get a room. It's like, I will pay. I'll overpay. Just give me my money back in the morning

when I haven't trashed the damn thing. Anyways, you get the point. Okay. I don't know what you're giving me thumbs up down for. Oh, give her. So, I think of the problem. And they go, I could Airbnb it. I could Airbnb it.

They don't ask for a credit card when I walk through the door. So that's what I do. Okay. So I get an Airbnb. And they go, what time would you like to check in? And I go, ah, by the time I've done this event, because I was going to watch Canaan's for Truth that night.

Okay. I went and watched Jamie Theo and Theo Fleury with Arder Poloski on stage in St. Albert. I'm like, by the time I get back, you know, it'll probably be about 10.30. So I say between 10 and midnight, click. I select keyless entry, click, so I don't have to meet anyone, right? Boom, doom, doom, doom. I get there,

can't get in the building. So I have to message the guy. Guy says, oh, it's late checking. It'll be an extra hundred bucks. And I'm like, Oh, for fucks. Are you fucking kidding me? And I'm so sour,

but what can I do? I need a place to stay for the night. And I'm like, I literally check the box. Why even have the box if you're going to, you know, there should be a big red flag. That's the only thing I hate about Airbnb.

They fucking suck you dry for everything. You go somewhere and it's got a pool. Oh, to heat it, though, it's an extra 50 bucks a day. I'm like, fuck off. Who wants a cold pool? He's putting in the damn price and let's move on with life. No, everything's an adet. Yep.

Like, fuck me. Anyways. So how was Polowski? Hmm. He's an entertainer. Well, I mean, he's a preacher, man, so he should be entertaining. Yeah? He, listen, he has a story that I assume,

I assume is 97% true. And I don't mean that he's telling lies. I mean, he is what's sensationalizing. And folks, I know there's going to be people who love Arder and I know there's going to be people who dislike Arder. Did he get arrested and all these things? 100%. He has a stage presence that I have, like, he is good.

He is fantastic on stage. I mean, he does it for a living. That's right. Yeah, I'm fair. But he is. fantastic. If what he says is 100% true, we should all be terrified. And maybe that's why I go, I err on the side of caution a little bit and I go, he sensationalizes a bit of it, even though I know that 85% of it's already true. Right? But he went into a, they put him in, um, psychiatric ward.

Oh, really? They put him in like, uh, a cage, uh, when he was in jail. When he came back from the States, he got arrested. Like, he's facing 10 years in jail. man. Really? Yes. So in saying that, it's like, how was he? He was fantastic. I thought that night was fantastic. The message is terrifying, right? And I guess I don't know. It's like, what do you think of Artur Pelosi? It's like,

well, shit, I should probably have him on the podcast and sit down and pick his brain. It's probably what I should do. You probably should. Yes. And for anybody who's a big fan of the Sean Newman podcast, we always drink whenever Sean says the word brain. Brain? Yeah. Hurts the brain. Oh, yeah. Two things that's funny.

I'm like, the best way to describe it. I chew on things, and sometimes my brain gets overloading. I'm just like, I just can't. That's another drink. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. All right. Sip up there, Bucco, hey?

Let those ice cubes slosh around. Yeah, well, I mean, I do really like the fact that Pulaski, you know, at the time, everybody was saying, okay, well, if you try and gather in a Christian venue, because all the other ones were fine. Yeah. Like us, what we're doing, what we're doing right now for Festivus, that was fine. Yeah.

It was only the Christian ones that got shut down. Yeah, think about that. And this is how we sneak in, not sneaking, this is how we fall into any rabbit hole you want. Mm-hmm. And so he said, all right, well, it's that challenge. It says, okay, well, you know what, If you guys say that I'm going to go to jail for doing this one particular thing,

while all the other ones are okay, then you need to arrest me and charge me. I'm not going to back down. You guys need to be the idiots who follow through with your one-sided mandates. And let's go. One of the things that stick out to me about the night is he got arrested or shut down. It might have been both folks. I can't remember now.

As I say, it stuck out to me. But what stuck out was what he was doing? He was feeding the homeless. And they didn't like that. Well, that's what happened in Oshawa. And you're like, did you hear about what happened in Oshawa? No, fucking fire away. So Oshawa, just the other day, they, there's a bunch of people that set up like a lemonade stand,

but for hot chocolate to feed the homeless and they were trying to give them some food and, you know, drinks and whatever else, not like booze, but. Yeah, yeah. Just hot chocolate, water. Keep them warm, keep them fed. Hot toddy. And they got shut down because they didn't have the right permitting. And you're like, this is just classic Ontario.

Well, actually, I had a video sent. Now that you're talking about it, I had a video sent to me today of a guy in, I think Kingston. Kingston's where Queens is. Anyways, he took hot dogs, and he was, anyways, lightly protest. lightly protesting story time with trans folk and he says

at the end of it and I didn't clue in but now you're making it actually makes sense and he was doing a hot dog sale outside of a trans thing like that's just a money making idea right there

and he had like in front of a drag show you're going to sell out like that you would like this guy that's capitalism at its finest you would like this guy Because he talked about a dinner roll instead of a hot dog bun. Because it makes the wiener look bigger. And he said it, and I can damn you piss myself.

But at the end, he goes, by the way, I'm not selling these. I'm not feeding the homeless. I'm sharing my lunch. And now it makes sense because if you're, then you need the permit. But if you're just sharing food with your lunch, obviously there's another loophole that people are trying to expose. Because our world is fucking stupid. Oh, it's absolutely ridiculous.

So maybe when you listen to Arder, you go back, how was it? It was great. Arder is pushing on things that they don't want pushed on. And me as an audience member, I go, it can't be that bad. But maybe it, you know, now that I'm hearing that, I'm like, oh, Jesus. No, the world's full of stupid people. Like, did you hear about, you know, you were talking before we started recording when I was like, are we recording?

And you're like, no, no, no, we'll just omit the awesome stuff. that happens at the start and just deal with the rest of us. Did you just say the rest of us? I meant the rest of it, but I said the rest of us. Anyways, okay, the festivus and the rest of us. That's kind of where, yeah, festivus for the rest of us. So we were talking about what kind of cool things we could dig up on Twitter. So Mike Tomlinson, big fan of that guy, if you're listening,

Hey Mike, let's get together and actually have a beer one of these days. But he had a picture of a solar panel parking terminal in the third floor basement parcade in downtown Calgary. Is that real? It's real.

He's got pictures and everything. Nobody's that dumb. Yeah, so that sound that you're hearing right now is Sean scraping his face in just, Yeah Yeah He's got here So the only way

The only way it works Okay Holy shit He does Okay So the only I'm scratching my head In disbelief

Okay Because the only way A solar power Can work that far down Is one They come factory Like that So instead of just

Taking it off They're like I'll just put it there Who gives a shit Right And they just Wired it in Or

They spent Way too much money To run lines To a solar power Outside So that it could charge inside. No, no, no, but this is the solar panel is right there.

Yeah. So, I mean, this is. So you'd have to blow a wall, a blow a hole in the wall except this. And have like mirrors lined up that just track the sun and, and as it moved through it's straight in Indiana Jones. ...an, hour, 56 minutes sidereal day. You'd have it tracking downwards so that it could point down. Yeah.

This is what we live in. Think somebody does having fun with them. Or do you think somebody just hates their job and they don't care? And they just put it in there and they're like, yeah, whatever. It's not that they hate their job and they don't care. It's that they just don't give a fuck and there's no repercussions for doing a shitty version of what is supposed to be your job. Okay. You got any more on that computer?

Or can we do the best of 2022 and what you're hoping in 2023? Okay. Can I give a shout out to the Liberal Party and that fucking lady from that fucking lady from, Newfoundland who is talking about her 22-age that she used for moose and black bear sure had you not heard about this no twos i wait for you to get i wait for you to enlighten you can read the news on your own every once in a while too no folks i don't read the news on my own i wait for twos to be like we should talk about this i read it and uh i go wow wow so one of the big criticisms of the liberal liberal party and their idiotic legislation around firearms is that they don't have anybody in there who knows what they're talking about.

And so they had this woman from Newfoundland who got up and said that she's an avid hunter, she's a big firearms owner and that she uses her 22 gauge for hunting moose and bear. All right, fair enough. Now there's no such thing as a 22 gauge. You go from 20 gauge down to 410, which is an interesting thing because it goes to. It goes from how many lead balls, the diameter of the gun it takes to make a pound to how many fractions of an inch, right? When you go through 10 gauge, 12 gauge, or 20 gauge, that's what it is. And then 410 is just 0.410 inches. And so she said that she had a 22 gauge for moose and black bear,

which presumably meant that she either had a 20 gauge, which is way too small for moose or black bear, like unless you want to get eaten or killed. And if you're thinking 22, well, that's pretty much the smallest firearm you can get, except for, I guess, like, pellet guns going 1.7 or 0.177. And even when you shot a pellet gun as a kid, You're like, I'm going to just give me a 22 already. Yeah.

Yeah. And I mean, let's be honest, when you're shooting a pellet gun, you don't think you're going to take down a moose with it. You can't take down a freaking gopher with a pellet gun half the time. Well, that's probably just because you're a bad shot, Sean. Fair, fair. But it's somewhere out there, everyone's going, mm, that's true. Okay.

You plot about six pellets in a gopher to drag them down, right? Can we just take a moment, though, to appreciate how awesome shooting gofers is? Yeah. Yeah Yeah You know This is like Five Easters ago

Okay It got really hot Yeah All the gophers came out It froze It snowed And we get out to mom and dads At Easter

Like The heck is out on all the snow And we're like I don't know Pull out the binoculars Just gophers everywhere But they were like Dazed and stupid

And whatever You could literally walk up to them and just basically shoot them, right? Like, I mean... Yeah, they're like spruce grouse at that point, basically. It was no fun. It lost its fun after like 10 minutes because it was just like a massacre.

Fish and bear. Like, it was just like there was no sport to it anymore. But hunting gophers? Oh, yeah, man. Like, that's a great... Yeah. I mean, so when I was a kid, I got a buck of gopher

and I got 25 cents for every sparrow. And then one time... Sparrows. Yeah. So they wouldn't build nests? Well, just so they wouldn't eat all the chicken feed. Oh, okay. Yeah.

So anyway, it just so happened that one time I got dropped off at the bus and I go to feed the chickens. And the whole chicken coop, like they'd all just flown in, like it was the middle of winter. And so they'd flown in because it was warm through the little, you know, door at the bottom. I'm gesturing and Sean can see it, but you guys can't. I'm gesturing. I'm making the whole little tiny little mandor for the chickens. And so they'd all presumably flown in there. And so I opened the door up and there's just sparrows everywhere in the chicken coop.

Really? And so I run outside because, you know, that's where like the port access was. Did you all you see is money? Is that what you saw? Yeah. Yeah. So I run outside. I shut all the little man.

Mandoors going out of the chicken coop, or not mandors, but like all the little chicken doors going out of the chicken coop. I run back to the house, grab my pellet gun, and I go in there, and like I'm there for like a fucking hour. Just shooting sparrows. Like I'm late for, like supper's already over by the time I get back. I'm like, okay, so dad, remember that time that you told me that I was getting 25 cents a sparrow, right? And he's like, no, no, no, that doesn't sound right at all. I'm pretty sure it was like like a penny of sparrow

you son of a bitch because I shot like literally like 24 sparrows it was like it was just shy of a quarter I remember that because you know because I was getting 25 cents a sparrow and all that and so anyway

yeah the old man tried to stiff me at the last minute it's like but I mean like I caught them all I caught them all that's like six bucks and 25 cents if he pays you out Yeah.

But you know how it is? Like when a kid's like super excited about something and you're like, oh, you know, it's going to be a lot more fun just to just twist the knife a little bit. Somewhere there's animal lovers just squirming right now, but I get you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, I mean, there's all kinds of pets.

Back to the liberals. Okay. What are you, are you done with the gun owners? Do you? With the 22-gauge bullshit? Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, we had like married Ning or whatever. I don't even like when you see that Vietnamese name the NG I never know how to pronounce it but she's the latest in a long line of

liberal conflict of interest acts I mean you had the guy who whose name alludes me in New Brunswick who gave away the 25 million dollar contract for surfing which is bullshit because seriously why do you need a permit for surfing and then you had the finance minister before Christopher Freeland, whatever the hell of his name was with the Wee Charity scandal, and then you had Justin Trudeau twice, and it just keeps going and going. Yeah, it's a strange world.

But they don't give a shit at this point, right? Like, there's no consequences. No, no consequences whatsoever. It's a strange world. Okay, anything else? I don't know. I reserve the right to just interject randomly. That's fair.

Okay. Well, then I want to take a quick pause. And then we're going to come back with the best of 2022 and what we're hoping at a 2023. You're pausing because you've got to take a piss, don't you? Possible. Welcome newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you, people.

Now you're going to hear about it. airing of grievances too's airing of grievances i uh i you know i'm i'm i'm looking for the best worst of 2022 okay what you enjoyed what you didn't i don't know let's let's see you know it's a year in view okay 22 yeah what have you enjoyed but airing of grievances you can fire off uh oh and george is going to talk uh not george um frank yeah he's going to talk in the background anyways okay so here's an airing of grievances i'm angry agree at all of the First Nations people in this country. Okay.

You people are going to hear about it. Anything else? Yeah. So I get the fact that the First Nations organized, like the hierarchical organizations and whatever else, like the FSIN and everything. They've got issues with the Alberta sovereignty in a United Canada Act and also. the plagiaristic Saskatchewan version of it. But if you're not going to give us

the whole... If you're not going to give us specifics on it... Who's been drinking too much scotch now, eh, folks? I think it's called 222 minutes. I'm sorry. It's just that you're lacking specificity and I take umbrage with it. I don't even want to attempt that word. Carry on.

Okay, so here's the deal. is if you don't like it, you need to say exactly why you don't like it and where it is that you have issues. Because when you just say, oh yeah, it's all garbage or whatever else and it's an encroachment on whatever else, this isn't our lane. And you guys are constantly saying that if it's your issue, you need to just back us. And when we try and say something like help us understand you, where are you coming from on this, then we just get pushed back because we're a bunch of dumb settler, settler racists or whatever else. And if you've got legitimate arguments, it's not as though we're stupid. We could understand them if you just explain them to us.

So take the time if you have some issues with these sovereignty acts to just lay them out. just explain to us exactly where they're harming you, where they're doing you wrong, and don't just say that they're garbage and say that you're speaking out against them because it seems, it seems as though when you are the elite of that, whatever, when you are the people who get a lot of money from the federal government and you can't specifically say why the sovereignty acts don't work for you, it sounds a little suspicious. And so just to lay our concerns,

just explain to us exactly why it doesn't work for you. I would love to hear from somebody who is an expert on this exactly why a smaller version of the government is able to more accurately reflect the wants and needs of that specific community because it seems to be exactly what you guys want. But again, I don't really know what I'm talking about. So just help me understand. Here's my airing grievances, okay?

Oh, here we go. Let's do this. Climate change. I tell you what, in the last fucking 48 hours, I have shoveled my driveway five, maybe six times. Okay? One, two, it is minus 26 right now. Have you seen what the weather

supposed to get to in the next like four or five days closing in on Christmas? No. Like minus 36. Okay. Okay. I thought we were in, I thought we were warming here. I'm looking for tropical weather. I'm looking for like rainfall on Christmas day.

I'm looking for, uh, you know, like, let's get into it. That's evidence that the carbon tax is working, Sean. I'm looking for the, I'm looking for the airport, uh, you know, melting and us all melting away. And I'm going, you know, I could probably do a little melting. up here. Instead, we get colder and colder, and I'm pretty much done with this train of thought. I was talking to Mrs. Too's on the drive up here, and it's funny when I pulled in, I was like, I got to send you some pictures of this. You are not going to believe, because I mean, she's, well, mail order bride, but from the States, and not technically a bride either, right?

but I was saying how like because she's just been going off about how brutal the winter is sure and it's it's been fascinating to hear somebody who's very actively angry rather than being resignly angry like we all are we're just like yeah it's bullshit we hate it

but it is what it is but then to have somebody come in who it's their first winter in this stuff and just be like this is fucking garbage Are you kidding me? What the fuck did I sign up for? I can't do this.

I'm going back. You guys can just take your fucking bullshit, fucking white snow, whatever, and just deal with it. Then you came to the city of Lloyd. And then where they can't, here's an airing agreement. It's been three days. Three days.

We can't even clear Highway 17 at this point. You know, we got to drive through a drift to get anywhere in town. There's four feet of snow in between the lanes and all the residential stuff. That is an airing. I pulled up. I tell you what, this is a truthful airing of grievances. You know, I know it costs a lot of money.

I'm not no moron when it comes to snow removal. But when you get dumped on with like a foot of snow, figure your shit out. Like just let's, let's come on, folks. It's time to get her boots traps up and let's go. When I used to live in Lloyd back in the day, this is like 2005, 2006, something like that. I was walking down the street on my way to one of the bars. and I ran into an ambulance.

Because nobody goes to a bar anymore, it seems. Actually, I think it might have been like Capri. So it's still there. No, that's still there. That thing will survive a nuclear war. So don't worry about that place. And you know what? The clientele will probably get prettier.

So anyway, I'm on my way there. Probably there. Because we always went there after work. And there was an ambulance not in the shoulder, not like off where it's parking, but like in the middle of the actual road spinning out because it was stuck. And then me and another guy

who was walking the other way, stopped, ran over, and gave it a push to help it get going so that it could drive away. It wasn't even parked on the side. It was literally where you would drive and it was stuck because of the snow. The wife played in a volleyball tournament,

okay, on the weekend? And it's snowing all weekend here. Right? So I've been shovel in the driveway, shovel, shovel, shovel, shovel, shovel. And I go to work. I go high outside your driveway. It's hilarious. I know, but the kids love it, and I actually loved it because, like, they get to create forts in it. I tell you what. The pros of it right now is how much fun I'm having with my kids in the snow, because there's tons of it. So I tell my wife, I say, she's driving back from PA on Sunday. I say, just drive safe. It's the love of God.

Well, you know, it's nice. Driving safe is a concern in Prince Albert, but also not getting stabbed. So she drives all the way and she goes, oh, the roads were fantastic until Lloydminster. She goes, you hit Lloydminster. She's like, what the hell happened? Yep. Going for the weather, here's how the next, so Tuesday, as you're listening to this, folks, okay,

this is what it feels like where I'm sitting. Minus 37, minus 33, minus 40, minus 27, minus 27, minus 27, minus 27, minus 27, minus 26 on Christmas, minus 21. That's what we're in store for the next week. Where is the global fucking warming already? Can we get a little bit of heat up here? Like, you know, whether they're spraying the clouds or not, can we just get a little more sunlight?

Like, let it through, and let's heat this place up. Well, I just want you guys to know that the carbon tax has been a very successful venture and that we are very proud do have given you sub-zero temperatures in all of this time. Can you believe people are fucking pissed

at Daniel Smith? That's really vague. You're going to have to get... You're going to have to bring in more specific... She comes in... She comes at specificity. Specificity. That's right.

And she comes in and apologizes for like... basically the government, how they had a COVID, and says it's the worst. Actually, I can't even say it. Basically, she was saying it was... It was a fucking travesty. To a certain portion of the population

that she's ever witnessed their life. And then everybody who had any grievance with the world said, the worst? How about these people? And you're like, I don't think she was saying that those people don't have a dog. She's just like saying, you realize this portion of the population

goes across everyone. And then she got attacked from everyone for saying, just apologizing how she handled it. Well, I mean, so there's this guy on Twitter named Captain Colby who's... Yeah, the Pleb. Oh, my God. Yeah. Right.

So he was talking about... Go back and listen to Friday's episode, The Pleb, so you can hear him about us talk about Captain Kobe's... Okay, well, I've got it downloaded because I was telling Sean when I got to in that I got to listen to it in a couple days when I go home but yeah I haven't listened to it yet but the funny thing is is so this guy so he was talking about how like oh yeah the lockdowns were just comparatively better because nobody was getting burned alive in their houses and you're like there's a big degree of difference between that and this like yeah like it's it it's the argument

that socialists make like well I mean it's not not as though we're just burning 7 million people. PLEP thinks I should interview. He figures Captain Kobe knows how to troll the right, if you will. He does. As much as the PLEB knows how to troll the left. I feel like I like the PLEB. I feel like in terms of his ongoing efforts to troll the left,

he's definitely getting better but it's you know he's an up and comer rather than an absolute fucking gem yet I agree but he's got nothing but room to grow but that's why I was on the podcast

because I see I see potential he's he's like Ovechkin in 2006 kind of thing right no no no okay well maybe maybe not Ovechkin in 2006 but like Sidney Crosby in 2006 then you know somebody who's not as good what a fucking jackass thing to say on this damn podcast let me tell you

uh Sydney the Crosby Captain Canada fan fucking tastic let me tell you 2005 2006 in anyone's games played Ovechkin had 52 goals 54 assists and 106 points just pointing that out there when you say 2000 that's like all well it is all star material okay Mm-hmm. Yes, and I am Googling everything right now, folks, because we got to see this.

Let's see this. Nobody can see it. I know, but let's hear about it. 2006. Well, what do you want? 2005, 2006, or 2006, 2007? What do you want? What is 2006 to you?

Okay, how about this? The PLEB is like, the PLEB is like, no, no, no. Fuck you. No, no, no. You don't escape by this. No, no, no, no. You don't escape by this. Here, no, there we go.

2005, 2006, okay? Cindy Crosby. We're going to get both of them. In 81 games played, he had 39 goals, 63 assists, and 102 points. Okay? You're comparing him. Ovechkin May, may, this is, listen, PLEB. Ovexian is about to pass Gordy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me, let me, let me, let me put this to you. Okay. You're trying to say the Pleb is about to become the greatest thing ever because you're, no, I'm saying he's got nothing but potential. I agree. But you're referencing Ovechkin Who could possibly

Right now he's on track record To break the most goals ever Not Gordy I'm worried about Gordy We're talking Wayne fucking Grexky And then you knock him You put him in the same category as Crosby Who might be the greatest player

To ever play the game So I am gonna read the stats And then I'm gonna say Tews doesn't have a fucking clue When it comes to hockey Because there's no fucking way you put anyone Nobody in those fucking categories Let me airing of the fucking grievances as I started

So, Crosby in 05.06, okay, which would be his first full season. Because of the lockdowns. 81 games. 81 games played, 39 goals, 6.3 assists, 102 points, not too fucking shabby. 06,07, which could be still construed as 2006, because obviously it started the season. 79 games played. See where he's going with us? 36, 36 goals, 84 points, 120, 120 points.

I'm just saying If the Pleb turns out to be that And I'm not even knocking the Pleb right now I'm just saying if he turns up to be that I mean geez Louise I guessed right on him Because that's the whole point I brought him on is I'm like I just see a potential

Like I just look at it and I go What you're doing works Well I mean is he Sidney Crosby Is he Alexander Ovechkin No No no no Do you remember when we had the conversation No

No no no No And I was like, I'm not interested. Like, I've got nothing interesting to talk about. You didn't say that. You didn't say that. You're insane to even think that you want to have. What did I say?

You said you didn't want your name out there. You're worried about, you know, your face, your name, your voice. You're all worried about this. And I just said that I can't really talk to you for like an hour. And here we are, folks, eh? Erring of the grievances. That's where we're at. Hey, unfucking

Blasby Ovechkin Crosby, the Pleb. And I feel like I'm shitting on the Pleb right now. I'm not shitting on you, Pleb. If you're listening to this, I'm not shitting on you. I'm just saying, you're talking, it's like, it's like, it's like,

Sean Newman's kind of like Crosby's first year. I'm like, no, no, I am not. Like, that is, we are, woo, we're in high company there. And you know what, Avechkin, when he gets run over by the Canadians in the world juniors, he could be like, eh, he's nothing.

Except he just passed 800 goals. That man, I didn't think he was. would break Griske's record, but I'm actually really starting to believe it. I mean, catastrophic injury aside, he keeps doing what he's doing. He's going to break it. So here's the thing about the PLEB is that he's having a lot more fun with Twitter than almost anybody else's.

And that's what's wonderful about him. I agree with that. I do agree with that. Okay, I got a... Yeah, I got to run the show for a minute while Sean plugs in. He doesn't run shit, folks. Here's Sean like multitasking. He's like, oh, I think Sean's doing something.

It's like Sean's doing something all the time. Tews gets to show up, fucking say what's on his mind and leave. Sean's got to run the shit. And that's what I do behind the scenes. Oh my God. This is why people in Scotland always fight each other is because they drink scotch and then they get shit talking and then this is what happens out of it. Is that what it is?

this two's yeah it's it's the scotch it's called it's called folks plugging in a computer wow that's what i just did and all the time listening to twos trying shit talk me about he's got to run the ship nobody's running the ship buddy i run the ship here holy fuck we just hit the rock what are you hoping for in twenty twenty three actually what was the best in twenty twenty two we did air some grievances about twenty twenty two What was the best in 2022? How about some, like, optimism, some things you liked? Man, to be honest with you, I really like the fact that, and I don't know,

this is going to be me tooting my own horn, but whatever, I don't give a shit. I really like the fact that we went out of our way to have at least one good, feel-good story every week. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. And we're going to keep doing it because I think it's, It's pretty much, it's, you know, it's part of what you do at this point. And the fact that, you know, the mainstream media, pretty much any media you get nowadays, they're always so focused on what's bad and what's horrible. And, you know, like my dad listens every week and he's like, well, how do you catch so much stuff

that the liberals are doing that they're trying to get away with on the side and whatever else? And I just say, well, this is just what they did this week because we don't cover, cover anything that's over week old. And then, you know, in all this stuff where you can still find these sort of, I don't know, positive moments and whatever else. Like when we did the S&P, the, the Sean Newman presents with me, you and Quick Dick McDick, that was pretty cool. Like, that was so awesome.

was definitely is well you know what probably probably yeah there's a couple personal moments but as far as anything that we do that was hands down the coolest thing ever because it was such a weird moment to I just figured that I was opening for quick dick make dick and as good as that was, you know, that nobody was really going to know who I was or, you know, whatever else. You know, I'd just kind of be like that lonely person at a book signing kind of thing, right? And then to have people, you know, saying, oh, you know, I think this about, you know, when you're talking about things and like I like how you're really up to date on what's going on or whatever else, right?

Like that I got a lot of really interesting, uh, positivity out of what we do on the mashup. and I just figured, you know, an hour before I went in that no one was going to know who I was, that, you know, it's like, hey, you know what, thanks. Thanks for coming out. Quick Dix over there. You should go talk to them if you get a sec kind of thing. And there were so many people that were there to just see me and talk about what we do. And I thought that was so cool.

It was incredibly unexpected and enormously appreciated. And yeah, I thought that was very remarkable. That's a cool, I mean, that's 2022, right? Yeah, 2-22. Like, 2022 in my books will always be the year on April 1st. That you pulled the pins. That I pulled the pin, one full time. And I always joke well

It's no April Fool's joke You know like I mean what a day to To pull the pen right dates or dates right I know but I mean that's kind of And both as funny as it gets April Fool's day you're You're quitting your full-time job And you're going to do this

And I literally got to ask us Today when I walked in the studio You know by Wade Gertner Shout out to Wade My landlord And he's still enjoying it. And I laughed

because I'm like, like shit, yeah. Like, I mean, I can't think of a better I mean, man, like, think about it. This is full time for me. And for the audience, you know, me and two's have been talking an awful lot about someday how we make it full time for him too

because I think it'd be really cool to pull them off the race. Nothing against rigs. Shout out to Rohan as they sponsor this debacle. as we've been going. But it'd be nice to have an extra set of hands on this side to try and write the ship or turn the ship or just steer the ship. I don't even know what the right course of action on that is.

How about just moral support? Yeah, sure. Sure. I mean, but 2022, it's always going to remember it as that. And then on top of that, in top of like going full time, before I went full time, listeners may remember this.

Marsh was the first time I ever. I did a live show. And I actually was talking to two guys today who were at it. And I can remember them. Because what people will not remember about that show, or nobody should probably know this, I'll know this, is I was so overwhelmed with terrifying that the idea was not going to be accepted or enjoyed,

or you get the point, that when it was, it went off very well. The sense of relief was almost like blackout drunk isn't the right way to say it. But my brain just went elsewhere. And I had so many conversations that night, I don't remember. I meant so many people I don't remember. I was just so like in relief that people didn't need the idea. And you think about 2022 from this side of things, the good is full time, 100%.

I did my first live show. and people enjoyed it. And when you have something in your brain, no different than a Tuesday mashup, honestly. When you have an idea. Everybody drinks, by the way. Sure. When you...

All right. Fuck me. They have an idea. And you're not sure how the population will respond. You know, you're kind of terrified about it. Literally had four people up on stage, and only were going to just talk. And at the time, I didn't know Daniel Smith,

was going to be the premier. Yeah. But they get up, they talk, and everybody enjoyed it. And when I mean everybody, we're going to go 90%, which is a success. To me, that's the best that 2020 has to offer. Full-time that, the mash-up, it has been a, it has been, I tell you what, folks, all of you out there listening, this has been a fun year. Of all the bad that has come.

It has been a fun year. And what happens when some other party gets voted in, you know, whether it's the conservatives or... Yeah, but we already know the conservatives. Or the NDP, which actually, did you hear about that when Jagmead Singh was up there? Said I'm the next prime minister or when I'm prime minister? Yeah, and the whole thing had to get shut down. and the speaker for the house had to tell everybody to be quiet

because they were laughing so hard. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, you know, whatever happens, like... I tell you what happens. We go back to living our lives. But when the conservatives get in? But here's the problem.

But here's the problem. When the conservatives get in, the problems don't go away and we're going to have to start ragging on the conservatives. Are we not? Okay, well, are we not? I will say that a lot of the problems that we deal with right now, the conservatives are privy to, if not responsible for. And we've got to hold them responsible.

So then do we get to go away? We're not going away. Is there ever a time, is there ever a time where some government gets invoted in, Utopia, where we're like, you know what, time? Time to put the hat on the wall. We're going to go sip some sats. I'm going to go back to work and whatever. and we're just going to hang this radio show up because everything's perfect.

Does that world exist? Okay, well, look at how enthusiastic you are with, absolutely, right? Look at how enthusiastic you are with Daniel Smith, right? Yeah, but to be fair, she has, like, I almost wonder if she's been doing all of this to piss me off personally because she's been doing everything that I've wanted her to do that she didn't do when she's... Everything except for coming on the Sean Newman podcast.

You know what? Just, you know, I'm just going to say something and we're just going to leave it at that. The whole time that Sean Newman was having Danielle Smith on the show, she was kind of a persona non grata. She was the only person that, or sorry, pardon me, he was the only person that was willing to have her out and to hear. her ideas and whatever else before she went and ran for leadership of the UCP. And there was a lot of people, myself included, who said, I don't give a shit what this woman has to say. And we'd text back and forth and he would say, you know what? I had Daniel Smith on this week. And I know that I'm going to get a whole lot of heat from you and a couple

other people. You guys know who you are. And Sean was the only person in her bench. It's not true. There was a lot of other people in her bench. She wasn't, she wasn't, it's not like nobody liked Danielle back then. Lots of people like Danielle back then.

I was just arguing for her because I was listening to it and I couldn't remember the Wild Rose floor crossing. So everyone who referenced I said, at the end of the day, can people make mistakes and move on from it? That's what I was talking about. And there are about not for you.

There's probably like 25 of you who would call me or text me every time I had her on and say the same goddamn thing. My frustration now is, and I'm going to air it here, because this is the erring of grievances, is simple. I want her back on.

Yeah. And she's been on Jordan Peterson, fair enough. Western Standard, maybe fair enough. And then I just saw again Western Standard podcast. I'm like, okay, it's time. And there's people listening this. I'm not trying to, I'm just saying like, it's time. But I've been told to's that I am what you would call radioactive,

that I am a dangerous entity on the airwaves. If that's true, that hurts and it sucks and life goes on. But it's time. I mean, it's time. All right. Here's my thoughts is, I don't know if you guys remember in about 2016, there was a golf tournament where they had a long drive competition on one of the holes which is their prone to do,

and they had a picture of Rachel Notley way down the fairway, presumably for people to aim at. And they caught a bunch of hell for it because she's a woman. And then whoever it was that lined up that golf tournament went up and apologized and just fucking grovel to the fucking canceled culture mob.

Sure. Okay. and here's the thing is I mean if you listen to the shun him podcast rather than the you know my 222 cents you'll know that he just kind of asked questions and just says you know where's this going you know what do you think what does this look like whatever else right he's a guy who is just probing rather than stating things whether they are or they aren't and then to just say, oh, you know, this is just some persona non-grata because we've decided it is or because it is what it is or whatever else.

Like, you can criticize Rachel Notley without being sexist. And if you can't criticize Rachel Notley without being sexist, then you shouldn't vote for her. But shit, the leader of the UCP is also a woman. So can you criticize her without being sexist? It ends up in this ridiculous fucking bullshit maze, which is what all of Oquism is, is just trying to rip a band-aid off one area to patch up another band-aid

and, you know, losing a little bit of effectiveness along the way until nothing is spliced and everything is bleeding all over the place. It's frustrating, it's silly and it's stupid, but more people are realizing it and that's what Festivus is all about I don't know if that was I was talking about but fair enough I mean listen

I appreciate everything the Premier is doing right now it's frustrating as hell because she's doing she's doing well she's doing well the only place she's not doing well is I would like her on the Sean Newman podcast again So I'm going to put it out in the airwaves because Sean's frustrated. And Sean gets to be frustrated on Festivus airing of the grievances.

And Toos is pointing to the bottle of scotch and that's why I'm saying it. So be it. I've been thinking about this now since November. So fuck it, Toos. Oh, what are you worried about? Tews has given me this look that I'm like sailing my ship down the, Well, it's gotten bombed. I'm saying I'm frustrated and that's okay.

And if we're going to do the airing of the grievances where we're not allowed to speak how we speak, then it is no longer the airing of the grievances. Am I right, folks? That's fair. That's the airing of the grievances. That's fair. Now, we're going to take a quick break because when we come back, we're going to do 2023 and what we're hoping for out of it. And twos isn't getting me any more faces because I'm going to slide across and slap them.

folks. That would be the strength bit, and let's bring it. And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength. Not the feats of strength. This year, the honor goes to Mr. Kramer. Oh, gee, Frank, I'm sorry, I got to go.

I have to work a double shift at H&H. I thought you were on strike. Well, I caved. I mean, I really had to use their bathroom. Frank, no offense, but this holiday's a little out there. Out there. Yeah. Yeah, this, this, I tell you what, this will be this rate here as long as we stand the test of time, which means we come back next year and maybe the year after that, and we'll see how many years after that.

This is going to be the best part. Am I getting canceled? Is that where you're going with this? No, I'm saying, like, come November, we're going to be like, can't wait for the festivist. You know, Tuesday mash up, Fest of us is coming. And how much fun is this? You know, like, I was saying a Tuesday before we started this, folks, as we slide into what I consider the last segment, this is the last time. however many minutes we got.

It's like, technically that's, everything is the last segment if you define it by that. Sure. Okay. But I go, but I go like, this is the, you know, you have fun podcasting.

I love podcasting. Yes. But what we've been doing on the Tuesday mashup has been fun regardless. And all we've been doing is, it's been talking about two-minute segment here, there, boom, boom, boom, boom. and this idea of the festivus

like this is how we roll out of the year is like man can you imagine the next one we're going to talk about it three months oh we're going to be like I can't wait can't wait it's going to be ideas this little sucker is going to have people going boom boom boom boom you need to talk about this this this this it's going to develop

things this is so raw and I need people to understand like me and two is rolled in this week and went I think this is an idea we should roll with but it's pretty raw. And the thing is, with a raw ID, you slowly refine it, and it'll become one of those things that you just look for.

I mean, it might take six bottles of scotch that night. We might have to, but you get the idea. So here's where we're at. We've aired the grievances. We've done a whole bunch of things. We haven't had the leg wrestle. But I'm curious what you are excited for in 2023. I think there's a lot to be excited for,

but I am curious what twos is excited for in 2023, maybe give some people some hope. Are we going to talk about Justin Trudeau for 2020, do you think? What are we looking at in 2013? We're going to ancillarily talk about Justin Trudeau. So, I mean, he's going to get in the specificity of things, but where it is is, I'll tell you what. If he lives this show a long time,

he keeps saying that damn worry, because we both know how much we struggled with it, when we were trying to say it on like episode like 32 stam specificity anyways now i can say okay so here's the thing with the alberta sovereignty act within the united or the alberta sovereignty within within a united canada act i can say specificity but i can't say that um it's a checkmate it's a checkmate it's a checkmate because here's the thing is when it goes to the higher courts, which are all in Laurentian, Quebec, and Ontario, right? This is good news.

Are you getting a good news? This is. This is. So this is the same thing with Arthur Polowski and him saying, okay, well, you know what? If you guys are going to try this, you need to actually arrest me first. I'm not just going to take it lying down as a matter of fact. And it's the same thing with Tom Korski, where he said, hey, you know what? if you guys are going to try and kick me out that's fine but you need to fucking prove this shit

and what's happening or what what is going to happen rather with this um with this new act in alberta and the same thing in saskatchewan is that they're going to say well you know what this is bullshit for the people who live here and then it's going to go go to the higher courts And me as a separatist is going to say, okay, well, you know what? One of two things is going to happen. Either one, it's going to start working for the part of Canada that I live in, in which case we don't really have a problem anymore, or the court's side against it,

in which case the separatist ire rises and more people are going to flock towards an independent Western Canada. Because here's the thing, is as soon as there's something like the West Coast tanker ban, but not the East Coast tanker ban, and that gets challenged via or vis-a-vis or whatever the fuck it is, the Sovereignty Act, they say, okay, well, you know, let's try this out in court and let's see how it goes. Because there's two ways this goes.

one, it sides in favor of Alberta, or two, it sides against Alberta, in which case there are more people realizing that our government doesn't side with the people, regardless of the outcome. In a fair situation, they don't have our backs. And so the worst case scenario is that more people realize that. that Canada is fucking broken. And that we need to do something else. We need to go somewhere else, but not literally go somewhere else. So you're saying the happy news of 2023 is one way or another,

we're finding out a verdict that is going to push people one way or another. That's your happiness? So the Sovereignty Act is, it's a checkmate. Because no matter what move the federal government does, no matter what Trudeau does with whatever influence, he has in the judicial system, the best possible outcome is going to be Western independence.

Because if he tries to say, oh, you know what, it's justified that we have a tanker ban here, but not there, and it gets stricken down, well, now all of a sudden, the waterways open up, and we can actually get our stuff to port.

but if the courts decide that no, the waterways shouldn't open up and you shouldn't get to port despite the fact that you're the same as the fucking rest of the fucking country on the other side, well, every time that happens, there's more people where we live that are going to realize that Confederation doesn't work anymore. And, I mean, it's a big stretch to say that it ever worked to begin with. But it's a checkmate. It's a perfect situation where no matter what happens, no matter what that legal outcome is, it works out in the favor of the people fighting against it.

And as much as I hate to give Daniel Smith credibility about fucking anything, this is the 3D, 40 chess that nobody is talking about because whenever they get people on the CBC panel, they always talk about like, oh, you know, you know, like, what if you guys had somebody on that panel who lived west of Manitoba? How about you had somebody on that panel to live west of Oshawa?

What happens then? Would they have a slightly different perspective? probably, but you don't because you're paid to represent their interests. And so it's really interesting to see how this new legislation is really going to open up the floodgates for separatism, which I hope the fuck it does. But here's the thing is even if it doesn't go my way and even if there isn't something independent that comes out of Canada that is Western Canada, I mean, you know, I mean, if we're standing with one foot out the door and the rest of Canada says, wait, wait, what if we made it so that you actually wanted to be here?

And we said, well, yeah, we're listening. What do you got in mind? And they put it to us in a way that actually made sense. Maybe we stay. So 2's happy news of 20203 is that we're going to get. eventually to a cliff and either way we're going to either jump and see if we fly

or the cliff is just a bridge and we carry on. Yes? We're going to build a bridge. What kind of thing? Yes, with... I don't know. It's a bit of an oversimplification. My 2023

eventually goes... What's yours? This is where I go. One is. I will celebrate nine years with my wife. That's the first thing I think of. Congratulations. Pardon, it'll be 16 years together.

You managed to put that out for seven years? How hard was the pressure by the end of it? No, actually, it's funny you say that. I think, no, I don't think, I know this. My wife made us wait longer than I would have waited. And then I went and did things that made it wait after that. Obviously, I went and played hockey over in Finland, and she was getting her master's in the States.

And, you know, but at the end of the day, I go, next year will be nine years. And I think it's a big accomplishment. I just do. And I think that's going to be celebrated no matter what I do. This year was eight years. And like, I was very happy to celebrate that. Anytime we get to another year, I'm like, well, not that we survived another year, but that's, that's, I enjoy my wife.

And I hope wherever you're at, listener, you enjoy. Listener? Why can't I, I can't say. Frazing? Phrasing? What are you talking about? Like, I enjoy my wife. I, I do. I enjoy her company.

I enjoy everything about her. All right. Okay. Listen to twos. Trying to, no, I'm just, no, no. I just, I think, like, 2023, you know. I mean, she's a beautiful woman. I get that you would.

Careful. Anyways, I, what a jackass? I, uh, I'm excited about that. So first and foremost that. And then, um, I think, um, some of the possibilities of the, now I'm going to speak, uh, business-wise. So. About your wife. No.

About the, about the podcast. I, listen, it doesn't pan out, folks. I go back to any regular job, which isn't a bad thing. I don't think it is a bad thing, but I want this to continue on because I've been enjoying it. And I think the possibilities are going to be something that I can't comprehend. I think I have an idea, and I don't want to say them on air because I'm like, if they never come to fruition and I go back to slinging chemical,

it's like, well, I didn't see that coming. Because I think at this point, I'm like, I feel like I'm a bit on a cliff. like holy crap not that i'm going to fall to the bottom but more like this sounds stupid but i'm going to fall to the top like i for the listeners i have no idea what he's talking about well nobody knows what i'm talking about because it's literally coming last week why are we doing this well because you're talking about best 2023 and i'm like i think 2023 has the opportunity to push to push well i'm just saying what what is he laughed about i don't know what's laughing about so you're just like, okay, so 2023, and let's talk about it on this podcast,

is the thing that I'm not going to discuss with any of you. So fucking tune in next to your assholes. Peace out. Well, I think there's live shows coming that are going to bring a bunch of notable names to Alberta that would be a ton of fun that I hope I get to host. That's what I think. Okay. And I think that's great.

And then I would also say, about 2023, that we have the clash, War of the World's Clash of Titans, whatever you want. Do I think Rachel Notley's a Titan? No, I don't. I don't even think she's even remotely in that class. But we're going to find out what Alberta wants.

This is going to dictate. May 20203 is going to decide which way we go for the rest of, like four years could be in eternity. Four years will be deciding whether a ton of people stay in Alberta, maybe Canada, whether Canada immigrates, not immigrants, moves to Alberta, or whether Canada is doomed.

Outwards. Yeah. And to me, I'm, like, I'm rather excited about it because I feel like Danielle should win in a landslide. I do. But you watch the polls that they come out with, whether you believe them or not, you know, I agree with everyone on that.

But they say Nautley's close or winning. Think about that. That's fucked up. That's 2023 in a nutshell, in my eyes. I mean, think about how fucked up this is, though, right? Like, so you've got rural Alberta, which is probably about 80% UCP. Yes. No, probably 97% UCP.

call it 80% just for the same discussion. Okay, 96.9% 95% 96.99% I don't even give a shit. The point is that she has no chance of winning any seats outside of Eminton, Calgary,

Yeah, maybe a couple others. Right. Okay. And then you've got the UCP, which, I don't know, like, there's some people who have been fanboys from day one. I've never been a supporter of them. I think that they represent everything that, that idiot bitch who had the Sky Palace. What the hell is your name? You're looking at me and I don't know.

God damn it. I send you these articles. You never read them. I know. No, I do read them, but I'm in bliss right now. Folks, we're winding down the first ever Tuesday mashup festivus. And I'm just like, I'm just happy. All right.

It's a good day. No, and it's good. It's good day. He's talking about some woman and this and that. And I'm like, you know what? I don't really care. I don't really care. I think 2023 is going to be a great year.

That's what I'm throwing out to the world. Yeah. And I just, you know, hope for Alberta and not only Alberta, I hope for Canada, goes the right way because I think if it does, which it will, then things start to push themselves

the opposite direction of what we've been doing for the last three years. You're talking about a pendulum swing? Yeah. And Danielle isn't Donald Trump. She's not that. So it's not like this crazy swing the other way. But for a lot of people,

they're trying to paint it like that and it isn't. Okay, let me stop you right there for a sec. Okay. Okay, and this is just, I hate defending people I don't like. Okay. But I'm going to do it. Okay.

And I hate the fuck. Are you about to defend Rachel Notley? No, I'm about to defend Daniel Smith. And listen, if you cannot come up with the definitive way in terms of policy that the person that you're that you're that you're besmirching is identical or identical to Donald Trump then your comparison has no validity. Okay. So here's the thing is that in the next few months you're going to see an absolute fucking plethora. I don't know why I do this one I'm drinking.

I'll try and stop. But you're going to see a plethora of people comparing Daniel Smith to Donald Trump. And when you see it, when you hear it, here is your answer. How so. That's it. That's it. Because the NDP are on their feet. They're on their heels right now.

They're trying to backtrack and trying to reinvent themselves in your hands. terms of everything that they've said and done that has previously gotten them lots of traction doesn't work anymore against Daniel Smith because all they had to do was say that Jason Kinney's a racist and then he just backpedals 15 feet and they say oh look we got you you motherfucker right but now you've got Daniel Smith who says well actually I haven't done anything that's racist and you're kind of out of line right now and I'd appreciate it if you would stop it because you're a bunch of fucking cunts. You know, figurative speaker.

You just drop the C word. Anyways. Let's talk about large bundles of firewood. So anyway, so here's the thing, though, is that you're going to see a lot of the anti-Trump sentiment

and from the NDP groups trying to say, oh yeah, Daniel Smith is just Trump 2.0 or she's just Canada's Trump's Trump. or Alberta's Trump or whatever's Trump. And the obvious answer to that, every time it happens, is just, can you please explain this to me?

Well, there you go, folks. Here is a Tuesday mashup festivus. Yeah. Tuesday's been a fun year, 2022 in the books. To all you find folks that have tuned into us, you Yahoo's. We do appreciate you.

We don't talk about it often enough. Yeah, I hope we haven't offended too many of you. No, I mean. Or maybe we've offended you all equally. That doesn't matter. I like the second idea better. I like the idea that, you know, we pick on everybody, you know, relatively equally.

I mean, it's really easy to pick on the BC stoners because it's like, oh, hey man, I live in BC. And then it's really easy to pick on the Manitobans because they don't have any teeth. And then you pick on Ontario and Quebec because they're exactly the fucking same. And then you pick on the Maritimes because they only work for fucking two weeks out of the year. And it's hard to pick on Saskatchewan because we're so great. Well, there's that. And then also you can see the jokes coming from miles away. Right?

That was pretty good. I'll be here all night, folks. Is this thing on? Either way, you know, when we first started this, you know, not to get sentimental or anything like that, I'm not sure what we thought we were creating, but we've created a little ecosystem, a little culture of our own people that really enjoy it.

And I get asked when we're bringing out the Tuesday Mashup T-shirts. which we have kind of unveiled, but we've kind of just, I need to put this at the end of this because you're still listening and the people that are really into it are still listening. It's not an experiment.

We're working on it. We're making sure we get it right. So hopefully in 2023, some of the good news will be Tuesday mashup t-shirts and not like, not in May, but closer to January so that people can actually get them and move on. So what Sean means when he says that is that we've talked about doing it, but we've done nothing towards it.

No, that's not true at all. We've had shirts made. Yeah. And we're working on a couple other things, and Toos is selling it off as something else. But, you know, we've pre- Well, twos is a dick, you know, and we all know that. Either way, I've a... It's been an interesting ride here.

I don't know what a week off looks like, but I know your next... It looks like the week before we started this. No, no, no, that's not true because the week before we started this, if there's never even this in the conscience. So nobody knew to even expect it. So Tuesday will show up next week, and they will go, we're not doing a Tuesday next week. That's right.

So they're going to wake up and go... Are you talking about Tuesday or Tuesday? So next Tuesday, when they wake up, think about it. think like I'm going to swat you across the table right now. When they wake up next week. Feats of strength. When they wake up next week, they're going to go, oh, and they're going to flick it, and they go, oh, fuck, there's nothing there.

And they told me there was nothing coming. You know how disappointing is that? What do you think they do with phones exactly, Sean? They try and reload. And when I say flick it, I mean like try and reload the screen. And when they realize there's no Tuesday mashup twos, they're going to be a little dispointed because we've been here now for almost a year straight. Think about that. Every Tuesday, people listen to this and we're going to take a week off. To be fair, there's not really

much going on for news over Christmas in the sphere that we talk about. When we talk about like, well, no, but I mean, think about like, like how many ethics violations are going to happen between December 18th and December 24th? No worries, folks. We'll be back in January. January. Like, yeah, we tickling your ear drums and playing the full song. We're going to play the clip. We're going to play the full song. We're going to play the clip.

This is going to come down to a feat of strength. Let's be very clear here. Tews has no saying this anymore and he doesn't control it. So we will be playing the full song and I can't wait. Can't wait to just bring it to you every year or every year. Every Tuesday in 2023. You know what? I'm with you.

Every year, let's play the full song. Every year. We're going to tickle some ear drums. It's going to be great. The rest of the time, let's do the clip. Tews, thanks for doing this. It's been a ton of fun. Always a pleasure.
