This is quick dick, quick day coming to you from Tough No, Saskatchewan on the Internet of Things,
and you are listening to the Sean Newman podcast.
Hey, folks, welcome to the podcast.
We've got a great one today, but before we get on with it, let's go to our sponsors,
Lauren at Art and Soul, passionate, hardworking lady who is extremely positive.
I promise she won't disappoint if you stop in to share your idea.
She's always asking why someone is framing an idea.
Today's story, yeah, we had to go back a first.
few years in her brain. She was telling me earlier today that a guy once upon a time brought in a
sheath of wheat, a farmer. And it was his final year of farming and he wanted to capture a piece
of his final field. So he brought in a sheath of wheat and she framed it up for him. She said even now
she'll use she's the wheat. Man, say that a couple times. That's a multiple. She'll bring in,
she liked it so much, she uses it in some of her pieces now.
Now, of course, with Lauren, I say who the guests are,
and the stories with her go on and on.
She truly does remember every piece that she lays her hands on.
It doesn't matter if it's a jersey photo artwork,
or, of course, the sheath of wheat.
You always get the best with Lauren.
She's open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Her number is 780808, 63, 13, or stop in at 50, 1639 Street.

that the salesmen have been just running rampant.
They don't like taking no.

I'm talking about Mr. Quick Dick McDick, so buckle up. Here we go.
Welcome to the Sean Newman podcast tonight.
I'm joined by Mr. Quick Dick, Mick Dick.
Good to have you back on.
You know, while we're sitting here chatting,
I was thinking the reason, so it was three months ago,
a little over three months ago that I had you on.
Actually, we're closing in four months since I last had you on,
which is hard to believe.
I was just saying you're kind of everywhere.
And the reason I just finished my 100th, like a couple,
a couple of like a last week.
Hey, congrats, man. Good for you.
Appreciate that. Yeah, it was a nice little cherry on the top for me, I guess.
It was an accomplishment.
Well, what I did was is after the 100th, I went, well, I wonder who was the most popular.
So I fucking put it in a spreadsheet, clicked sort, and who pops right up to the very top,
but Mr. Quick Dick himself.
Oh, my goodness, hey?
I can't, I can't argue with what the people want.
So I was like, fuck it.
Let's bring them back on.
Well, I appreciate the opportunity, man.
Yeah, there's, man, there's starting to be a lot of people doing podcasts.
Well, actually, no, that's not right.
Apparently, there's always been lots of people doing podcasts.
I just don't pay attention to podcasts, I guess.
I'm one of the worst people to be on, like, YouTube and podcasts and stuff because I don't pay attention to them.
Do you believe that?
If I find myself with a listening moment, I always like to put on, you know, some Canadian
country and just kind of tap a finger on the wheel and sing at the top of my lungs like nobody's
watching well you uh first off to address the the podcasting there is way too many like it's there's so
many good ones that's that's the thing right like absolutely there is that and that's it's it's
it's funny you say that because that is one thing like you kind of opened up maybe my podcast world
a little bit i still don't like you know get in on a lot of podcasts but ever since like that's
the first podcast that ever been on is when we did that
that one on April.
And yeah, like you kind of, you start looking for stuff a little bit.
And then when you find you're like, oh, damn, like that's actually not bad listening to
these guys, you know.
So it's been good.
It gives the throat a little break from the singing sometimes.
It's nice.
But you need a long straight stretch with the GPS working where you don't have to concentrate,
you know what I mean?
So you just let your mind be mush a little bit.
I had to laugh.
You put out, it was a Corb Blund song.
What was it?
Old man?
Old man?
No, yeah, old man, yeah.
Old man, and you're like, oh, this was a great, too.
I'm like, I don't like, Corblan.
I don't think I've heard that song, put it on.
I'm like, fuck, that's pretty good.
Right now somebody stopped this and is like,
oh, we better find out what the hell they're talking about.
It's a good, it's a good little tune.
Oh, yeah, man, his album is, his album,
if nobody's picked it up, agricultural tragic,
it's a great album.
It's a real classic, Corblin album,
and I'm a huge fan of his,
and I'm super pumped,
Colter Wall's got one coming out on the 28th of this month,
and he's just been slowly dropping a couple of tunes off of it,
and it is really good.
Yeah, Western Swinging Waltz is another punchy tunes, I think it's called.
Super pumped for it.
And the timing is right, because Corbs kind of dropped right when Hane was rolling,
and now Colters is going to drop right when a guy's getting into harvest.
It's like they planned it or something to be the best season on equipment ever.
You know what I mean?
What the hell is Quick Dick doing?
I'm just jamming out to the latest songs.
Does he know he's on the neighbor's field right now?
I don't think he cares.
Colter Wall.
So it must have been maybe probably two years ago now.
Like it's been a little bit.
When I first got introduced to him,
I was out north and North Battleford out on a plant there with the Seraphina boys.
And they said, oh, have you heard of Colter Wall?
No idea who this is.
but sure I'll give it a listen and when you first see him like when you hear him you're like
oh yeah that's like a super cool voice when you see him and then he starts singing it's like brain
doesn't want to work it's like so so true man yeah it's so very true that's uh yeah if you catch
him in different settings and stuff too is yeah he's just the really interesting artist and then
the cool thing i guess about technology nowadays if you start like you got you know you can find
Colterwall radio and Corblum radio and a few things that kind of push you down the alley of the
style of artists and stuff and what a what a time to be alive you know you can just kind of listen to a whole
bunch of stuff that's really neat and you don't have to stop at the Mohawk gas station and get the lady
to unlock the lock to get the cassette tape out and then you get halfway through it and you're like
well this is shit you know what I mean well now I got to look I got to pull it up because I was talking
with uh I had Braden holt beyond like a week
ago and he he took me down a row and now i can't remember what the uh what the guy's name was
childer childers tyler childers tyler childers frig man he he's good too i know we could sit and talk
music for a long time but there's something about a good a good song right like you get going down a rabbit
hole on youtube i listen to music with the kids all the time and i you know you can only take so much
frozen too and then you decide you know maybe i'll i'll give you guys a little bit of culture here
and give him, you know, Colter Wall hits the bathtub time a lot,
and they probably think Dad's a little bit wacko when he gets that going,
but, like, he's got a great sound to him.
And then Tyler Childers, hold big a guy, talking me about him.
And I was like, I wonder how that is.
And then listen to him, and he's got a great voice.
Like, there's so many of them, if you go down that road, they're just like.
Yeah, there really is.
Yeah, it's in a Childers is really good, good voice.
And there's him and Colter do a duet called Frank.
airline that's actually really good.
Really good. Yeah. And it's like, I like that style of country music and it, it just keeps it
kind of fresh and like nothing against a lot of the new age country that's out there
pop country and stuff like that. But I mean, you know, if I was given the choice to listen to
Florida Georgia line or to stab myself on the ears with a hot soldering iron, I'd probably take
the soldering iron, you know what I mean? But that is a true testament to how tired you're getting
throughout the course of the day, like on the haybine or the bailer,
if you find yourself accidentally humming along to a Luke Bryan song,
you kind of want to hurl yourself out of the tractor and let yourself get rolled up in the
bailer, just put yourself out of your misery.
But if you find yourself humming along to the guys like that,
then it's just you're just like, you know, either I need another coffee or I just need to
shut her down for the day kind of thing, right?
So, yeah.
I used to, when I was tree planning years and years and years ago, I,
this is going to date me.
I would, we had to wear.
Hey. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I tell you what, you ever tree planted quick? You know, like I've planted a few
trees, but I mean, usually they're just a little poplar bastards that you're kind of trying to put around
your yard. But I mean, I have heard it's hard work. I just, I like to grind the gears of tree
planners a little bit because they're kind of branded with the hippie stuff a little bit.
Oh, 100%. How long was your hair and how much dope did you smoke? Uh, my hair was pretty long.
Uh, no dope. Uh, uh, I drank, I drank my fair share of beer. Yeah, fair enough. Uh, I've always,
I've always been a beer guide.
Here's a funny thing.
This is probably, this is 2006.
This is 14 years ago.
We're out tree planning in the middle of nowhere, right?
Like, I mean, you're out in the middle of nowhere.
Had to wear hard hats.
I shit you not.
And I remember thinking like, this is the most absurd thing I've ever heard of in my life.
What am I going to do?
Fall trip and what?
Like, scratch my head.
Like, anyway.
That's always kind of been my funnier thing, even when you're talking about guys that are working,
you know, up in the derrick of a rig and stuff like that.
what specifically is it that's going to fall on your head from that high kind of thing?
Whatever, I guess.
Safety guys, you know.
Who is the Canadian guy who had the show who went around and did all the odd jobs?
It was odd jobs, wasn't it?
Oh, no, those dirty jobs.
That was Mike Rose, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So if Nick ever gets his own show, I would like to see you go tree planning for a week.
I tell you what.
Tree planning is, after I did it for one summer, I swore I'd never do it again.
most interesting cool people maybe ever.
I guess he probably would, yeah.
But I had nightmares.
I'd wake up in the middle of the night
and I'd be doing the motion of tree planning.
It was awful.
It was awful.
Never again.
But it really cool.
Yeah, once the mind gets set into something like that,
it's a hard thing.
Actually, I worked on a custom haying crew,
you know, back when I was 14,
and I'd wake up in the middle of the night
and panic and think I was actually dumping a bail
and going to keep going again kind of thing.
but that's funny how your mind gets set into what you're doing and then when you wake up you think
that's what you're doing kind of thing it's yeah it's crazy yeah i think i had uh it was like week three or four
i just finally i'd had enough and i just decided to go to an all out bender i was like screw it i'm
gonna get drunk till four in the morning if i got a tree plan hung over slept through it all my billet
family that i lived with were all tree planners or a tree plan in their life and i woke up so
like remorseful i i miss the the van to go like yeah happens to everybody i'm like yeah
everybody hates this job this much that they go drinking till four in the morning just so where was this
where were you doing this at ontario oh ontario i yeah i didn't know you could dig into the canadian
shield and plant a tree in it well and that's the worst part is the canadian shield you slant you
know you got to give a little torque to the old uh shovel and how many times you'd hit rock
and just the fucking well spoiler alert that's kind of like fencing and tough no you hit a rock every three
feet kind of thing so yeah speaking of all the quick dick videos that you've been doing how much fun
are you having right now uh it's uh it it's kind of a roller coaster to be honest because sometimes
you'll you'll get on to something and get going with it and uh and it's it's fun to be perfectly
honest i have the most fun doing the kids ones they're they're blast i love making them you
kind of get to work like obviously with with covid and everything going on and i don't work directly
with the kids. I kind of work through their parents, which is you need their parents' permission
to be able to do all this stuff. Anyways, but 100% of the kids that are in my stuff are kids that
I've known for a long time. You know what I mean? And it's super fun because they get really
charged up and doing a lot of this stuff, and it's exciting for them. But then you get the odd
one that you get rolling on and some of them, you know, flow out pretty easy. And then there's some
of them where you're like, man, it's Monday's getting close. You know, it's Saturday and you haven't
even started working on one yet and you're like shit i got to get this done and then when you
kind of start to force them a little bit it it's kind of like okay i'm not really having a lot of fun
with this one right now but then by the time you get them done and get them uploaded you're like okay
that wasn't so bad i guess right so it's uh it's it's it's a blast um i've been super super
busy with all of it that's for sure so you know the the little quicks a little quick yeah man
a little quick.
When that first one came out,
actually I was watching the latest one.
When the latest one came out and it was all the skill testing questions on
flower weed food or feed.
Flower weed cropper.
What did I say?
Flower weed crop or feed, right?
I'm like,
I'm like,
I don't know if I want to watch us.
I don't know how dumb I want to feel if I don't know somebody.
You know what?
There's a lot of guys even around here that were like,
and you're always going to get the agronomists there that are like,
well, technically the alfalfa is in a flowering stage and it could be an alfalfa and everything.
And you're like, punch me in the face, please.
Yes.
Defund quick dick.
I can't believe that I would have said something like that.
Just, you know what?
Shot my station down.
Cut all the funding, reallocate it to agronomists.
You know, or we just have fun and watch it, you know.
It's, it was cool of you to get kids involved, though.
I thought, uh.
Thanks, man.
I don't know.
Something so.
basic like just what are the different plants yeah it's everybody thinks you know I know that I know that
and then you actually start walking it watching you're like how much do I really know yes it's it's true
there'll be a lot of times where I'll be I'll be working on something for kids and I'll look into
something and I'm like okay you know what maybe I don't know exactly the answer here and like I'll have
to check it all out there's one I did uh where all the little quicks we're doing all the little
provinces and stuff like that and you just leave it up to them they get a research
search it with their parents. It's like it's kind of to help the parents out to give them a little
project or something to do because everyone's got kids on their hands at home. And well, then you
got a fact check to parents. And then you get a couple that come across and you're like,
okay, I'm pretty sure that's not right. But then you've got to check it and then go back,
you'd be like, listen. And it's not the largest population in Canada. Okay.
Like, no, but Google said, I was like, but like back to that thing, you can find anything
you want on Google. Sometimes you got to fact check Google a little bit.
You know what I mean?
Just because Wikipedia says it's right.
It doesn't mean it's right, you know.
I was, so I got, I've been doing these interviews with, teamed up with the Lloydminster
Archive.
So I get to go around and interview community pillars that are a complete opposite of kids.
We're talking like 70 to like 90-ish year olds.
All right.
And get to talk to them about their stories.
And in doing that,
The last one, we got talking about the Depression.
And in the Depression, the last time me and you talked,
we talked about the government doing the community pastures
and the fence building and stuff like that.
Well, in Saskatoon, I found out, back in the 30s,
they gave all the population plots of land for growing gardens
so they could feed themselves.
And so me and a buddy got talking about that today
because quick dick as sad as it is i've never grown a garden as a kid as a kid
helped mom and well and grandma picked up beetles and everything right like that's
that's part of being a Saskatchewan kid you got to
absolutely yeah yeah need and everything else but i we got talking about it today and i was like
you know like at times with everything going on the world you're like geez the guy should
have a garden he's like i wonder you know and this goes back to the kid videos it's like
I wonder if I even know how to plant a garden.
Like, no, no, no, I can plant a garden.
And then, but then we got going down the rabbit hole.
We're like, okay, so you can plant a garden.
And everything grows, let's assume.
But then everything, you got to harvest everything.
So now what do you do with it?
How do you keep it for another year?
How do you make it last?
Yeah, I think the funniest thing that I saw was with the Republic of the Chaz there.
And you see a few of those guys that were growing their gardens and everything.
And like how they were growing them and what was happening was hilarious.
itself but I'm just like that's fantastic you're going to have a bountiful yield of one potato and uh if
you have five I mean like like what are you going to do with it right like I mean you're gonna right now out
at my mom and dad's my mom like you just say like typical Saskatchewan lady uh like huge garden
right 140 some hills of potatoes and I'm not dreading anything when you're planting them it's like
when you're putting them in you're just like I am not looking for
two digging potatoes out of this garden and then putting them in the box and the barn and the dirt
and everything and then she's going to spend three weeks canning and doing a whole bunch of stuff or
whatever and like yeah that's part of the gig growing it is almost the easiest part it's like once it's
done growing and that's another big thing where you have people having problems with gardens is uh you know
people don't want to use pesticides or you know you've got a whole bunch of different little craters
in there you've got something that's not grown right or you got root rot on something or whatever
where, you know, it's kind of like growing a crop.
I mean, there's lots, you don't just drop a seed and it magically grows.
And then once it grows, you don't just magically have groceries for the rest of the year.
Like, I mean, there's a lot of shit that's got to be done, right?
Well, you know, speaking of that, like, I've heard you talk, I forget who's podcast I was listening to you on.
Actually, at start of the week, last week, when we were talking about having you come back on,
I did the old Google search and found that, oh, wait in the end.
fact you've been on a few podcasts so i got to listen to a few different ones um and on one of them
you're talking about the disconnect between urban and rural populations and i mean that's what you're
when you talk about the protesters diet which now i guess has been quite a while ago that that
video came out yeah man that's a it's a long time ago on that one and that's uh yeah it's i kind of
shifted gears a little bit with what i was doing and you know you try and help people connect to a lot
of different things, not just, you know, oil and gas or anything like that. It's important, but then,
yeah, to try and help people draw that parallel between oil and gas and agriculture and a bunch
of different things. It's, yeah. I think you're fighting an uphill battle. And I started doing a little
bit of research, just light stuff, nothing too heavy lifting here. Yeah. But 81% of our population
lives in cities. And every year that goes by, that number slowly creeps up. So,
So you said 81% of what, Sean?
Of Canada lives in cities.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy, eh?
And back in 1930, so in the Depression, when they were giving everybody plots land, it was 50%.
So 50% of the population lived, you know, in a rural setting and, you know, probably grew their own crop, you know.
Like talking about these older generation, they all had milk cows and they had the chickens and the ducks and they all said the same thing.
You never had to worry about starving because all you, all, you have to worry about starving because all you.
your food was around you. Well, now you look and you go, well, I'm case of point. I mean,
I grew up on a farm, but now I live in the city and I don't even know how to grow a bloody
garden. I mean, I'm sure I could figure it out, but the first couple of years is going to be pretty
rough there, quick. Yes, it's true. And that's where a lot of, there's a lot of, yeah,
a lot of disconnect between what goes on. But, uh, Stu McNish was a guy that I was talking with.
He actually came right out to the, to the field and interviewed me there, uh, excuse me, but, um, yeah,
A big part of the conversation, what we were having there was, you know, there used to be a lot of
rural families, you know, and there'd be a farm was a section of land kind of thing, right?
And you had the equipment and the resources and your two boys at home or girls at home,
equal opportunity.
Don't hate me.
Everyone out there.
Fuck you.
Defund, quick day.
So they, and like, like that was it.
Like, that's where you worked and you melt a cow.
When we were kids, I mean, there was a melt cow in the barn.
chickens and everything and you know even that we you know we don't really have any more kind of thing but
that's that's what happens is like farming is becoming mechanized but it's just for the simple fact that
I mean it it it's a baseline commodity price is the problem and you just need more and more and more
and more land to be able to afford the equipment to be able to do what you're doing it's a it's kind
of a relentless circle um is what's happening where now you'll see like you know there's guys that
farm you know 10 sections 15 sections
40 sections, you know what I mean?
Like the farms are getting huge now, right?
And their huge industrial businesses.
Whereas before is kind of a way of life.
And that's kind of how you made your living at the same time.
And now like a farm is turning into a larger corporation kind of thing.
Corporations or partnerships or things like that, right?
So it's crazy how things are changing.
And I would assume they will continue to change.
Like how far I'm not quite sure.
Do you ever see a point where, you know, it starts to almost reverse the other way?
which I mean maybe is a little tidbit to throw in here there's getting to be a lot of people and that's
I think that's been a big thing about the pandemic and the coronavirus here is that there's a lot of people that have said hey maybe I don't want to live in the city and that are trying to look at getting into acreages and back into know quarter sections of land and stuff or they're just like hey we're going to go out and try and homestead and do our thing or whatever which I mean is a great pipe dream to have but it's it's cool for people to be working towards that kind of stuff but those places aren't that easy to
to find anymore, you know, just because big commercial farms or larger farmers have been
slowly taking them over and homesteads aren't really homesteads anymore. They're just kind of
a place where the house used to be and the bush has been pushed down and they're using the acres
to grow crops, right? And you also, you got to remember to go buy a chunk of land now is,
it ain't cheap. It is, it is not a cheap endeavor. What are you sipping on tonight?
I've, oh, there you go, Wayne Lake.
Raduga Distillery's provincial vodka.
It's the only vodka.
Shameless.
It's a drink.
Yeah, I have no shame.
I just drink whatever the fuck is in my cupboards.
Everyone's like, oh, you do paid promotions in your videos and stuff.
I'm like, do I seem like the kind of guy that plans backgrounds?
I don't know.
You're getting pretty good at it.
I got to be honest.
I was out at the plant today.
So, I'm on, shout out to the boys at Serafina Mota West Plant.
And Robert Sainaman, shout out to him, because every time I mention your name or that you're
possibly coming back on, he's giddy.
He'll laugh at that because he enjoys you and he's an older guy and loves everything you
do.
Well, well, shout out right back to him.
And it sounds like he's giving her hell out there too, so that's great.
Well, and I tell you what, you go back to your initial video when you're,
you're biking, you know, you're on your motorbike.
It's pretty, well, it's cool to see the progression.
I don't want to say it's simplistic because I freaking don't do videos.
Like, I don't do videos like you do.
Sorry, my feeling.
But now it's like, you know, you got Justin Trudeau and you're looking over at them
and you're talking to Dick and then you're talking to quick and everybody's like,
who's quick dick?
And it's like, what is going on here?
It's, a guy's mind wanders a little bit and I guess it's like, I don't know.
like, okay, here's something that's really funny about this stuff.
I kind of play off this joke that like the sound editor is getting fired
and the green screen guys getting fired and stuff,
but like green screens really aren't like that tough to do.
But how funny is it when you got a guy that's kind of like fucking it up a little bit
and it looks kind of shitty or whatever?
Like I mean, I think that's a pretty funny stuff, you know?
And then you put in the credits, ah, the green screen editor was fired and all this stuff.
I literally had guys hit me up and be like, hey,
I got all kinds of time on my hands, and I'd love to come and help me with the green screen
editing and stuff, and I'm like, hey, friend, thank you for the opportunity, but it's kind of part
of the joke.
So it's, yeah, it's, it's funny, and some of it's a challenge, and you're like, but like, when
you kind of think, oh, I need three or four people to appear in this episode of what I'm going to try
and do.
but really the only guy I really like having with quick dick is big mustache owl you know what I mean
because if you start developing like 10 or 15 characters and stuff like that it's too many people
to manage and then my schedule does not allow me to be able to collaborate with people like it just
doesn't like I just the you of all people should know because it's just like okay what times
this is going to work I'm like well fuck I don't know we'll just do it whenever we can well you're
talking to a guy who does everything himself and people always go how do you pull it off and I'm like I don't know
like I can't do you know I actually a buddy of mine today go like when are you recording all these I'm like
I don't know like tonight I'm sitting down a quick dick at nine and I'm like he's like nine you're going to be up at nine I'm like well nine's late now right like nine's late
I'm like I don't freaking know you have kids and then everything's late you know at 730 you're ready to
curl up and watch murder she wrote or something like i mean jesus angela lansbury i still yeah i still
kind of hot for her every now and then you know but no i i totally get it uh it's it's easy to be
for me it's easy to be flexible around your schedule your schedule's per i think you have the best
schedule ever you want to podcast 11 at night sure kids are sleeping wife sleeping they don't care where
i disappear to for a couple hours and have a bullshit yeah that's killer man no that's awesome and uh and yeah
I mean, that's, well, not that it was a contest or anything, but I mean, that's kind of what won you,
the first quick dick podcast is, I was just like, hey, I can go at five in the morning or 11 at night.
You're like, let's do 11 at night.
I was like, okay.
And then, you know, another guy, Vance Crow was another guy that was great to.
He was just like.
He was fantastic.
Yeah.
Out of the States?
Yeah.
So, I believe it's, oh, man, he's going to really grind my gears.
I want to say Missouri, but I might be wrong.
Oh, I'm probably going to, I'm going to pay for that.
one later, I'm sure. But anyway, sorry about that, Vince. But yeah, he was great. He was like,
no, like, dude, I can do it in the morning? Because lots of people ask me, well, can we do it at 10 or,
you know, can we do it at one in the afternoon? I'm like, no, no, we can't. So if you're listening
to this and you're trying to get quick on, shut up and say yes. But it's, you know what? And like,
I've had a, I've had a lot of people trying to work to be flexible with me. And anybody that is
trying to get me on a podcast to hang, hang tough, I'm just, I'm just going through the list.
with where people are at here.
But I guess that's kind of a thing, though, too.
Like, I don't really want to be the guy that shows up on, you know,
three podcasts a week kind of thing because then eventually people are just kind of
going to get tired of listening to your shit, you know what I mean?
And podcasts are good.
And, I mean, it's a fantastic way, I think, for people to be able to see the,
you know, the, what do you want to call it?
The real dick?
Yeah, the real dick or the chronicles of Quick Dick or whatever, right?
Quick Dick uncovered or whatever, you know.
I would argue this.
I don't think you could do too many podcasts.
And the reason I say that is there is an absolute crap ton of them.
And speaking from a guy who loves listening to podcasts,
if all of a sudden you showed up on Joe Rogan,
the guy I listened to the most,
I would gladly click on that good old Saskatchewan boy on the big show, right?
That would be awesome.
But like most, you know, Vance Crowe,
I would have never, ever heard of them except for your name came up.
I'd search it and go, oh, that's, that's,
That's pretty cool, right?
Yeah.
He's actually, he's got some, he's got some cool podcasts.
I actually want to get in touch with him.
He was going to do a seminar at the Alberta Beef Grow Association.
And just he kind of found me.
And he found it's the protester diets video.
That one was really, really the career started there.
Well, I say, here's a funny thing.
You want a funny thing this morning.
We're sitting around at the office.
Okay.
And we, so in the COVID with Baker, we've kind of downsize and switch things around.
So you're sitting around two meters apart.
That's right.
Actually, yes, that's right.
Correct.
So anyways, there's this TV that got moved to our office.
And so we were talking about, like, news and, like, putting it up so we could actually have some news because we have no.
And I started laughing and I said, I said, actually, you know, honestly, when I want news, I just flick on Quick Dick.
And he breaks it down way better than any news report can ever do.
And I listened to Wee today.
And I was like, huh.
So that's what all the shit's about.
Pretty much, right?
Like, I mean, you can't.
You listen to CBC or these guys or that guy or this person.
It gets so muddled.
You just have a nice way of breaking it down.
Yeah, I appreciate that, man.
The reason I kind of did that one, how it was is just a lot of people.
And, like, before we started this podcast,
I started leafing through 300 and some comments on that video,
which I, like, if anyone out there is listening that is waiting for a reply back for me,
don't hold your breath or you will die a horrible death.
You're real asshole.
Yeah.
Real, real asshole.
And I'm sorry if I don't get back to you, but I mean, I type like this.
And it shows in most of my typos in the videos.
But, yeah, that's a lot of people are like, oh, well, the weed charity did this and they did this.
And they're just, it just gets to a point where it kind of doesn't fucking matter.
they're all a bunch of crooked bastards and we just can't sit around to tolerate this stuff anymore you know
and that's where like i could have gone on in that video for 30 minutes and like there is ample material
to just keep roasting these guys but i mean like for what 10 minutes is almost too long for people
to sit around and watch and you really kind of got to lay on the humor to keep people triggered
into washing it but uh how much do you really need to talk about it just
gets down to the fact that there were a whole bunch of criminals and we're just letting it fly and that's
just not okay you know what i mean and i think that's kind of why i ended it where i ended it was i'm not
going to talk about the keelberger brothers because they're dirty bastards too you know that's just where
it ends one eretta and take it with a grain of salt i want to say that take it with a big old grain of salt
that right now the polls still show or whatever that most Canadians don't care.
And I, my brain can't wrap around it.
It's just, it's how is that a thing?
Now, one thing that I really want to make sure that everybody's well aware of is,
is the demographics that are polled and where these polls happen kind of thing,
because a poll downtown Toronto versus a poll that goes in a few different places,
I don't know.
I'd really like to think that we're slowly starting to get a little bit of a voice behind people saying,
hey, this has got to stop.
And I've had a handful of people that have approached me and come to me and been like,
you know what?
I'm changing my mind and I'm starting to think that maybe some of the stuff that you've been saying is kind of right.
I hope you're right because it has gotten to the point where you almost is like,
man the guy could bloody outright murder somebody and somehow you would hop on a video chat
apologize and uh carry on with whatever he's doing because the daily uh you know pop out groundhog day
as you call it yeah very apt right pops out says his little piece and then goes back in and you're
like yeah man no it's yeah it's true man so i really hope that we we get to a point here uh that
our well everyone's got me labeled as a conservative guy or whatever i'm like well you know what
that's kind of the only other option that a guy's got right now you know what i mean i'm not gonna say
i'm a huge conservative supporter either i uh i just i just want an honest fucking person running
the country that that cares about the country and the people in it and not themselves
and they're rich buddies.
I think that's probably the biggest part of politics that's broken.
And I'm not just pinning that down on Canada.
That's global politics where you get people that are just looking after their buddies.
That makes me sick to my stomach.
And that's the biggest reason that on the on the on the we scandal video that I did,
I compared it to the to the topmo rackboard.
And there's a reason that I love top.
is because that's how it works is whoever's running the show is in it for the benefit of the
community and not for themselves and they do that and they run it and the community stays alive
and keeps going and people enjoy being a part of the community and if that person fucks around
they're done there's no inquiry there's no nothing you are done and you're lucky to get your
ass out of town without having it beat, you know? So when you have that little incentive
floating behind what you're doing, there's a pretty good chance that you're going to be an
honest bastard about doing what you're doing. Flip the coin around. If you know that there's
going to be no consequences whatsoever for what you're up to, what's ever going to stop you from doing it.
I don't know. How did our parents raise us? I knew that if I was, you know what, I have, I have
done a lot of not swearing on my videos lately so i let that one go so you're going to get some
accolms dropped here today sorry man sorry mom but uh i knew as a yeah sorry mom sorry i'm glad we got that
out of the way but like as a kid and my mother included i knew that if i fucked around
there was going to be consequences for it if you raise your kids knowing full well that there will be
consequences for doing something that you know shouldn't be done, you're going to raise probably
a pretty good human being. If you raise a kid where you just have a whole bunch of empty threats,
well, I'm going to take your cell phone away if you tell me to fuck myself once more and then
you don't take the cell phone away when you get told as a parent to fuck yourself, you're blowing it.
And you're going to raise a little Trudeau as well. You know what I mean? Like it's, you just,
you need to be held accountable. And that's just,
missing and now somehow we have a guy running our country that's got that mindset and that's
out of anything that's the most terrifying thing I can probably think of no consequences it's
that is a that is an empty empty scary world if if if if you can be a responsible person and
you know what you're doing is wrong then you should know that there's consequences coming for
right and now you get all these donkeys marching around with their signs saying uh free free the prisons
just open the prisons up and let's let's let them all go out into society or whatever like we're
like you really stop and ask yourself hey what kind of a dumpster fire are we headed into here
well that's that's what i think i don't know man i a lot of us were you know you you sit in the
back door closed room because you don't want to speak up too loudly about it so you just kind of sit
and hang out and watch a quick dick video and carry on with your life have a good couple chuckles
but a lot of us are like man like what the hell is going on here like you talk about common sense
right uh raised that way well that brings up the the bloody load of oil going through the panama canal
Like, nobody in their right mind would say, man, that seems like a bright idea.
Like that seems like a great idea.
Who?
If you probably go with that video, you should go watch that one because that one's hilarious.
But I mean, like, let's go straight line point A to point B.
Let's get it there.
We can be self-sufficient and way we go.
And we take away the outside world influencing us so much.
but instead that isn't what's happening.
It's like common sense doesn't fucking matter.
Yeah.
And I've said this time after time after time.
I sit here and I go like, where are we really heading?
When you can have that drawn on a map,
you don't have to be a rocket scientist to go,
this seems really ass backwards.
Like why can we just go this way?
It's the biggest reason I did that one.
So I titled it how I titled it.
and I knew it wouldn't catch a lot of traction for the simple fact that these, it is really important how you title a lot of these things because YouTube's the second largest search engine in the world, right?
But there's rules on how you title them and a bunch of stuff or whatever, okay, so fine.
And I kind of didn't care how I titled that one, but the reason I decided to do that one is that I'd, like, I'd caught wind of what was going on.
And I was like, I knew this had been happening.
It's not the first time it happened.
and it won't be the last time that it's going to happen, I'm sure.
But I started asking a few people just locally here in our community is like,
you heard this?
What's going on?
Whatever?
No.
At first I never heard anything of it.
Never heard anything of it.
I was like, okay, I think I know what my next video needs to be on.
But I had the biggest part of that video that I really wanted people to be able to see
is that the energy East pipeline isn't something that has to be built from, you know,
from Edmonton to New Brunswick.
There's only 1,500 kilometers of pipe that needs to be put in the ground to actually
complete the inter-existing pipe.
Yeah, the infrastructure that's already sitting there, yeah.
We're talking 1,500 kilometers of pipeline here on a country that has their oil field
in the complete ruins right now that is begging for work.
But you know what?
let's give $9 billion to the students and then see if we can get them to volunteer in here.
You guys go clean up a well or two here and that ought to keep you satisfied for a little while, right?
And then, well, you know what?
We'll ship her around through the Panama Canal.
How about that?
Let's do that.
The hoops that Irving Oil had to jump through to get the permits to get that load of oil brought all the way around to them,
it's really, really fucked.
You know, though, around here, have you heard of, I want to call it Puck Oil, I think it's called Puck Oil, where they ship it in like a bag concealer on a train, you know what I'm talking about?
Right.
That's, that became more lucrative than anything else at the worst of times, probably like a year ago, was shipping your oil in a bag like container where it could be sent over.
overseas to China. That was what? That was like eight months ago, nine months ago.
Okay. I haven't left into that. I haven't heard of it. I wouldn't, yeah, I wouldn't put a
past. There's, there's so many ways that people are doing this stuff. And it's just, I'm so
pro pipeline just for the simple fact that even rewind back to to last year when Quebec and parts
of Ontario were having such a hard time getting, you know, propane to be able to drag.
grains and stuff in there where you loaded up a bunch of semi-trucks and started sending it out there
and whatever. You're just like the frustrating part about it is is specifically the Quebec part
of it being like, well, hey guys, you're the ones that didn't want a pipeline running through
your neck of the woods. Could you imagine just flipping the valve open and being like,
there's your propane there, boys, have that or dry away. How much do you want? We'll just keep sending
it to you. You know what I mean? Like that's how we make our money you guys need it.
It's a broken system.
I really hope that we start heading towards something that is,
that's going to make Canada better and start working a little bit more together
because I'm in no way, shape, or form a wexit kind of guy.
I think Canada is a very strong country and has a lot of resources
and people that can work together and do very well here.
But I'll tell you what, there's, they sure are making it hard to stay in that mindset right now.
and yeah that's that's the direction i will keep trying to push in and that's where i'm going to try
and keep doing a lot of this stuff where people you know can can watch it and hopefully get a laugh
out of what's going on first and foremost but uh you know just maybe be able to have a look at
things and be like okay yeah you know what he's kind of got a point there something like that
you know so a lot of the right people that i want to watch it aren't going to watch it and see it
through to the end unfortunately is the way it's going to go um but
All you can do is keep trying.
And there was one comment that I saw just before I came here.
But he was like, aren't you afraid?
So the men in the black coats are going to come and get you to keep putting this stuff out there.
Let them come.
If everyone lives in fear for just speak it out and just being like, hey, this is fucked.
What do you got to be afraid of?
Like, is somebody going to come and get me?
Well, come and get me then.
Like, let's get it on if that's the way it's going to go.
Because then it's time to fight.
If that's where we're at, well, then it's time.
We're not there yet.
We're definitely not there yet, right?
Like, I mean, for what you do in the mild humor,
and it's just pointing a very obvious, like, this is really screwed up.
Do you think, you know, you mentioned Wexit,
I share your sentiment.
I've had this discussion lots, the, you know,
I'm in the heart of like right on the edge of like we should be our own self-sustaining Alberta or
what's what's the one where Buffalo or Buffalo yeah it's the Buffalo movement I think is what it is
every night where the the the area whatever and I just you know I got maybe it's it's it's
miss like too much sentiment but I love being Canadian I love everything we stand for and I just think
I just, I keep coming back to, man, like social media is just found, they've just found a way to, like, drive a wedge for between, right between everybody, right? Now, there's some fucked up shit going on, 100% and people, we all got to start, you mentioned them any time. I'm going to start pulling her fucking weight here and like, get this shister out of there. The problem is, I don't know if we got, you know, you mentioned you're not a conservative and, or, you know, that you just want to change. And I was listening to, uh,
a Joe Rogan podcast because obviously the American elections coming up here this November.
Yeah.
And you know, you got Biden and you got Trump and you got, you're kind of like, oh, well,
which way do you go, right?
And what he was suggested is they really need an independent to come through the middle
and just take it from both of them and be done with it.
And some days, I think that's exactly what Canada needs.
We just need somebody who can, you know, have a common sense.
And I don't know if it's that easy.
And I think that's the problem is we all think it's just that easy when it probably isn't.
Yeah, it just, it really isn't.
And that's, I mean, one thing I've found, I mean, obviously with managing people for quite a few years before in my life.
And now, even what you see going on with a lot of extremists on both sides of what's going on.
I'm not just going to say, you know, liberal extremists.
No, no, it's absolutely both sides.
There's guys that you see doing things on the right wing side of politics that you're just like, what are you like, what are you doing?
you know um so yeah somewhere in the middle middle's a hard ground to find in in a lot of situations
and especially politics um whether you could actually get people calm down enough to be able to see
the light of of of the other side kind of thing which i think is where when i say well i'm not really
a conservative guy either i'm not a liberal guy i mean i guess that would be more conservative than
anything because that's kind of the options that you've got right but uh i'm not going to sit here
and say that everything that left-wing people stand for is wrong because it's not.
Well, it's not.
They care about people.
Yeah.
And I'm not going to say that everything that right-wing people stand for is right.
You know, there's a lot of things that people go a little bit too far with.
But somewhere you've got to find some common ground in the middle and what you say about
social media and stuff.
And like I'd say, I hope I'm not guilty of it.
I try and keep things light and humorous stuff.
and I don't think I ever go, I've had a lot of people call me racist and a few other things, which
people call you, call you racist?
Oh, yeah, oh yeah.
So you get called a lot of names, you know what I mean?
And sometimes people just can't think of anything else to call you.
So that's what they're going to call you, you know what I mean?
What the hell are you getting called a racist for?
You'd be surprised how many people, it's Twitter is probably one of the worst things that I ever got
involved in or whatever, because you get people chirping pretty hard.
I'm still waiting for examples back.
People let me know where I'm a racist person
because if you actually knew me,
hung out with me,
or actually knew any of my family and or extended family,
you would kind of look after you'd called me a racist
and be like, okay, that's probably the worst thing
I've ever called anybody in my life kind of thing
because I'm not.
What I can to be is people that I don't like
are people that are there to work, assist them and not work.
I don't like lazy people.
I like people that are ambitious that have something to do.
And I like happy people.
I don't like downers,
but sometimes downers just need to have their funny bone tick up a little bit
or have someone reach out to them kind of thing.
And then they'll come back to you.
We had that talk about there's a good person inside of everybody, right?
And it's a matter of trying to tap into that person.
But I just,
I hope that I can keep putting out content that people can kind of find relatable a little bit too.
And I've had some good luck off of a few of them.
the gun ban one.
I had a couple of really good interactions with people over that one being like,
hey,
I didn't realize that's how things were.
And I'm kind of hoping that that can be the same thing,
maybe with the We scandal one that I do.
But what you said,
I want to go back to that where you said maybe it's a little too sentimental about
how I love being Canadian.
I don't think we can say that enough as Canadians.
And it's something that nobody says enough of anymore.
I'm damn proud to be Canadian and I'm proud of how my parents raised me here.
I love that this is my home.
And the biggest reason that I did that Canada Day video that I did is because I was fortunate enough to see this entire country.
A lot of it was due to work.
And then some of it was just because I decided to go and see the rest of it.
And I just, I can't say it enough and I will continue to work at it as long as I have some sort of a voice on social media as quick dick.
will be that this is a very amazing country with amazing people in it.
And man,
I really hope we can find that middle ground somewhere
because I don't want to lose the amazing people that I know in eastern Canada
and not have them as fellow Canadians anymore
because they are what make us Canadians and Canada.
And that's so important to me.
I just,
I don't want to lose that part of them.
And I'm like,
I'm talking Ontario.
I'm talking Quebec.
There are amazing people there.
I've met them.
I've stayed at their homes.
I've gone to work with them.
It's not all bad people.
And I really,
really hope that people can understand that.
That's very important to me.
Well,
we've talked about that because I've been across Canada and I've said,
well,
I think you called me out on the last time.
I said one of the nicest person I ever met and was in Ontario.
And then you gave me the speech.
You just gave me about all the people across Canada are awesome people.
and once again it just goes back to a few bad you know you wish you wish the social media world
you want to know about the bad apples everybody wants to know about the bad apples but you know
bad news sells and they rise to the top and of course that's what gets played everywhere
so all we were here about it about the other side is is the shit I was going to say though
you got me off track because I do that sometimes sorry about that what I was going to say
was, you know, I hope you enjoy what you're doing because I thoroughly enjoy watching. I know a ton of people enjoy listening to what you do. And it'd be a real shame if that ever became where you're like, you know, I just, you know, some guy called me a racist. I just think I'll put it aside. And I'm not sitting here trying to imply that one guy doing that can ever shut you down. But please don't let it because I think that's utter bullshit. You know, it's probably some guy who listened to two.
words and then or hell who knows a bot for all i freaking know yeah just love trying to get a rise out of
people yeah and what you do is uh man there's some been some days where i've i've hopped on i don't love
having my phone on me i honestly hate social media i just i don't love it i am so with you on that
here's both of us putting stuff out on the social media i know it's like i hate social media
but here's the thing it's the only way to do it right like i want i want i want people to find what i'm
doing so you got to you got to play the game and the game is right now you play the social media
game which means i mean and i watch you do it you're so good at it and your short little videos
on twitter and i suggest if you have not found them you go find them because i've had the the monday
morning afternoon where all of a sudden a quick dick video comes on and just like hey you're awesome
we'll carry on and i'm like yeah fucking guy that shit's that shit's awesome speaking away i really
appreciate that yeah the shit let's talk
about shit. That one kind of caught me off guard.
A lot of people off guard, man. And I got to give credit to Robert Sannerman for pointing out
to me because I don't know how the hell I missed it. And I was like, talking about shit.
YouTube probably unsubscribe to you. It's been happening all the time.
For a second there, you have me going. I'm like, I don't think so. Actually, that legit has
happened. If anyone out there is watch it, check if you're still subscribed. If you do subscribe,
I really don't give a shit how many subscribers I've got, maybe. If you, if you,
you watch, if someone shares it with you, I don't watch any of that shit. But I've had like a
horrendously large amount of people message me, be like, I was magically unsubscribe from
your channel. And I was like, okay, well, I didn't unsubscribe you. So just hit the button again
and do your thing or whatever. Anyways, moving on.
So where did talking shit come from? So it's, okay, here's what's going on.
is my dad and like I went through this with uh with rob sharky the shark farmer and high heels
and conval fields and uh it was just it's kind of been something and i when i like i was going
through some tough times i'd say mentally physically kind of thing or whatever when i was kind of
looking to get out of the oil field and uh my dad had actually gone through uh some some serious mental
problems, like to the course of a mental breakdown kind of thing.
And he'd missed a lot of the early warning signs coming into it and maybe he didn't
understand it.
But I mean, he's a tough bastard and he raised us tough.
And I worship the ground.
He walks on every day because he raised us that way.
And I like I just, I can't say enough good things about him.
And but you were always raised as a cowboy is, you, I, you know,
don't say shit if you're mouth full of it. If you're crying, I'll give you a reason to cry.
Like there's, you know, we've all heard this before. Anyways, fast forward, you know,
into his, into his 40s and he had a lot of stress and it was a, is a very stressful job
that he was working and then there's a lot of things going bad.
Anyways, he wound up getting some help and got himself right and thank goodness for my mother
who was there as his pillar and she helped him through it. And he was a tough enough guy to
to be able to talk to us boys later in his life about what he'd gone through and you know the warning
signs coming up to it and what he'd missed and how he wished that he would have talked a little
bit more about stuff and and there is uh if he wouldn't have that conversation like with us boys
and i like i'm i listen to everything he says and even lots of times when i tell him he's full of
shit i actually listened to him before i told him he was full of shit um but uh if if he hadn't like
been brave enough to talk to us about it because he spent his whole life telling us not to be a
bunch of emotional wimpy little bastards which thank goodness that he did um but then it's so it's tough
for him to be able to put himself in a spot where he's like hey like you guys got to watch out for
this stuff and it happened to me and i can talk about it now and it's okay and man i i just i started
picking up all the signs that he talked to us about with the job that i was doing and i was like
Holy shit.
Do you mind some of the signs?
You mentioned some of the signs.
Do you mind trying to some of the signs?
Yeah.
So starting to lose sleep at night to the point where you're so stressed out about what's
going to happen the next day or worried about the next day that you're unable to disconnect
from what's going on.
So you get yourself to a point where you're so distraught about what's going to be
happening tomorrow about what you've done that maybe it'd just be easier for you
not to sleep and to just keep working out of the kind of thing.
You find yourself trying to take a week.
weekend off or you go on vacation and you can't get away from it or it completely consumes your
mind all the time.
Get to the point where you're losing appetite, won't eat kind of thing.
Your physical health is starting to deteriorate.
And one of the biggest things was, is he said it got to the point where the phone would ring.
And like this is back in the day where you didn't have a cell phone on you even.
But the biggest one that stands out in my mind is when the phone would ring.
it would terrify him because he knew that there was something bad on the other end of that phone.
No one was phoned and telling him that he's doing a good job.
That phone was ringing because something was on fire.
There was a dead cow somewhere.
Someone had run a truck into a dugout or something like that kind of thing or whatever, right?
And that was the biggest one that kind of got me.
Biggest one of the two.
I got to a point where even a text message on my phone,
I wouldn't even want to pull my phone out of my pocket and look at it because I'd just be like,
what's fucked now?
You know what I mean?
It was never somebody texting you being like, hey, you really did a great job dispatching that truck.
You know what I mean?
Which dispatchers out there, I love you.
You bastards got a dirty job there.
You keep doing it.
It's a tough one.
If you've dispatched in the oil field, you're, you want to talk there, you know, I mentioned tree planning at the start of the hour.
dispatching might be worse than tree planning.
Actually, I guarantee it is.
I promise you it is.
I've done a lot of jobs on the planet.
And you know what?
There's parts of it that I love because a lot of it's a challenge a lot of the times.
It's fitting a puzzle together, right?
The biggest one is, I guess the biggest one of all was he said,
you need to recognize the fact that you're miserable.
And that was kind of the PSN.
turning point of when I was like, hey, I need to make a change in my life here.
I was sitting on the, on the corner of my bed one morning, and I remember him telling me
almost an exact same story.
I was just sitting on the corner of the bed had been slept for two hours a night before
it's rocking the ditch, a whole bunch of shit or whatever.
And I had my head in my hands, and I was saying, I do not want to go to that job today.
Like, I just, I would take anything over going to that job today right now.
And then that's kind of where it hit me, where, like, he told me.
so many of these things and that's where it just it was like that point of revelation where i was like
hey this is this is everything that he told me to watch out for and could you imagine if you just took
that and it was like okay i'm just going to keep going and then wind up going down the same road that he
did so yeah i i want to even not having to get like i i didn't go for professional help i didn't do
anything i just realized that i needed to change what was being toxic in my life and slowly started
working towards getting out of it and heading into something else.
And like that's kind of we talked about that on that last podcast where you're just like,
hey,
I'm making a change in my life and then I'm going to go forward from that.
I talked to my dad a lot while it was going on.
I was like, hey, like, this is kind of what I got going on.
And like, this is what I think I'm going to do.
And he supported me the whole time.
And it was, you know, all my family and friends did.
And there was like, I had an amazing amount of support going through it.
But I didn't let it get to the point where it's just like, hey, this is over.
I'm done right now.
kind of thing. You just kind of slowly transitioned out of it.
And yeah. So the timing was, there wasn't anything specific. It was just the timing where I'd put
a lot of other stuff up and I didn't want to talk about the negative government stuff that
was going on or anything. And you're kind of headed into the harvest, hang harvest season and
agriculture and stuff. And I think I get a lot of guys following me in agriculture. And I think it was
just kind of a hey, like it's, it's cool. And there's been a,
few guys that I've talked to that have been like I don't know where to get help kind of thing or
whatever right so be like well here's some phone numbers or here's some stuff that you can do or
fuck like hit me up in the comments and I'll try and help you out or whatever right I mean I can't
give my phone number out to everybody you know what I mean but I'll try and help you right um
and yeah so it was it was well received and you know I'd had a few people messaged me earlier
being like hey your stuff makes me happier and I needed that kind of thing and so I just kind of
wanted to take it down that road a little bit and and I did and I hopefully kept it, you know,
a little bit funny too because I don't want it to be one of these things. I'm not the kind of guy
that's going to get on something, be like, I want to talk about my terminal anxiety and all
this stuff and I need to go to my safe space four times a day because I don't jump on board
with that stuff. And you know, maybe I should be a little more sympathetic to it, but I'm just kind
and not, but like I'm okay with everybody being a big person about what's going on and be like,
hey, it's like somebody can come and talk to me and be like, I'm having some fucking issues.
I'll be like, let's talk, man.
Or what do we got to do to get you right?
But I mean, if I have somebody coming up to me being like, I've had terminal anxiety for 22 years and I need to find my safe space and I need to find four therapists and everything and I need six days off work to be able to go deal with this.
I'm just like, okay, let's start with what's bugging you?
You know what I mean?
And like,
and let's work towards because some of anxiety maybe gets blown out of proportion a little bit.
And,
and it turns into a word.
It's like one of those words that everybody kind of hears in media and everything.
It's okay to like be nervous or be unsure about something or whatever.
And that's,
that's a normal human emotion.
Like it's okay.
I get a lot still too where I'm just like,
I don't know if I'm making the right decision here right now.
But I'm not going to blow the whistle on terminal anxiety or something like that.
you know, and that's where he gets lots of stuff like WebMD and a lot of these different things
that will help people self-diagnose them with their own problems and allergies and everything
they've got. But I don't know. The message I wanted to get across was to more be like,
hey, you know, there's people out there that can help you and you're not in this alone and it's
and it's okay to talk to people about shit because that's one of the biggest things you see in
oil field and agriculture is you got to be tough, you know? Well, you can still be tough and kind of
talk a little bit about what's bugging you and that's kind of why my favorite scene of that whole
video is when I was sitting there with BMA and he's like you know I can't get tired of your shit
sometimes like I know and that's a typical guy talk you know what I mean like that's it
he said what was on his mind I said what was on my mind and you know what you can actually walk
away from that and feel better you know what I mean call the other guy dumbass that's okay
right so what's what's been uh i think what's interesting about uh talking about shit and anxiety and
that kind of thing is um a lot of the uh men that i respected that are close to me the more i have
people on that talk about it like you just did the more people that'll actually tell you they
know exactly what you're talking about and you're and you're like really
I did I would you know like I just it's it's pretty cool I always think of your story and I think it's it's it's a leap of faith to walk away from something change is never easy and so for what you did and I'm probably saying verbatim what I said last time but when I think of your story and just like you know making the plan getting out going back to the farm and walking away from something you put a lot of time and effort into is a real leap of faith and maybe it's a real leap of faith maybe it's
to you it didn't feel like it but i think you know most people that that is that's a tough thing to
to be like no i'm getting out of this you know it's it's something you've done for a long time and you
know and you just can't see what's on the other side of the fence and a lot of people get stuck in that
and uh it's good to talk i it's really really really healthy to talk to people yeah
get out of your own head and get your thoughts because you can get on the old uh the old most the the
the wheel, the hamster wheel, just roll me.
And if you can just spit out some of that and you got somebody you can talk to,
like that's,
it's a healthy thing.
Yeah,
man.
So,
and like,
that's the one thing I'd caution people is,
is be careful who you're talking to because you,
you need,
it's important to talk to somebody that's going to keep you honest about what you're
doing.
You can,
you can talk to one person that's going to,
that's going to just kind of jump into a pit with you.
And then maybe you both are,
or maybe going to do each other less good than more.
good, right? So make sure you select who you're talking to carefully. It's got to be someone you
trust and someone you know that has a head on their shoulders kind of thing or whatever that's not,
you know, medicated or anything like that. But it's just just make sure you're careful who you're
talking to and don't, I've always tried to look at it as, you know, I've tried to help coach a lot
of people through some things. And when I was in my previous job, that was causing me
stress. I'm trying to help people deal with stress and stressful situations.
But it's just really important to, it can't be a thing where you're like, I really need somebody's
sympathy or I need this or I need that. You just need to be like, I need this because it's good for me and I
need some advice. Sometimes people are going to give you advice that you're not going to like.
You really got to look. Yeah, you really got to look at that advice and there's a really good chance
that if you don't like what they're saying,
it's because it's going to be a hard change for you to make.
And sometimes hard changes is what it's going to take, right?
I was, like I said,
I was very lucky to be in the situation that I was.
And yeah,
like a lot of it's been terrifying.
But at the same time,
that's,
it's okay.
That probably means that you're headed down the right path kind of thing,
right?
When I first,
you know,
went to make my decision and do what I was doing,
I was terrified and thought that I was going to regret it for the rest of my life.
And now I kind of look back on it.
I'm a year in here and I look back on it now and be like, you know, that's the, that's the best
decision I ever made. Take, take this quick-tech stuff and everything just completely out of the
situation with, like, my life and where I'm at and what I do. Like, I'm like, that, that's the best
decision I made for me, you know. Um, so and not just for me. I mean, it's worked great for my family.
I mean, I'm closer to my folks now and I'm closer to a lot of my old friends. I left a lot of old
friends behind, but you keep in touch with people. And yeah, it's just,
there's there's always another alternative and that's there's you know there's people out there that
you know that wind up suicidal and some bad things happening and that's just there's always someone that
that will come and talk to you and that wants to help you and that's just a a path I really wish I could
keep anybody from going down because it's not a path you need to go down there's there's there's
there's a reason to be here and life can be good you just got to find it and and go with it and
Sometimes that search isn't that easy, but I mean, just grind away at it.
You're going to find it eventually.
On them nights where it's not that easy, then you find your people that you need to talk to
and they're going to help you get through it.
I think for people around the Lloyd area, I had Spiro Coconis.
He is an immigrant from Greece back in the day and he runs a restaurant in town,
very successful restaurant.
But he talked about his life and he got very close.
Well, he just said he hit what you're talking about.
But he'd lost his business in the 80s and the very tough times,
had three children, and things just went sideways.
And he just, he was in a very dark place.
And then somebody believed in him and it brought him out of there.
And what he reminded me is what you are doing on a weekly basis for sure is that you just never know how you're going to affect somebody if you give him a little bit of positivity and pull them.
pulling the right way right you just never know what a kind word can do for a person because
it's hard to understand what any one person is going through in a single day yeah no it's it's it's
really true and uh and like to you know i guess to as a rebuttal to what you're saying earlier is
you know i really don't stop doing what you're doing because one guy called you're racist um
i've been called a lot worse um i've been called a lot better it's it really kind of doesn't
affect me and I think and I'd say people will probably notice that I gravitate in my
comment section maybe towards people that are being negative a lot more than people that are
being positive because it's the negative ones that that need my attention to be perfectly
honest the people that are happy watching what I do I try and get back to you but like it's just
I'm I'm glad that you're happy there's been a couple situations where there's one guy that was
he it just happened recently he's kind of a troll that follows me on Twitter and some
stuff and he just kind of slept up.
And usually,
like I don't bark back at people very,
very often at all whatsoever.
I just try and find kindness within him.
And this guy had just unintentionally made a joke about me not being an expert in a field
and being a farmer.
And man,
I usually don't message back to any of this stuff,
but I hit him back and I was like,
do you realize if you had capitalized the word this,
you would have just made the funniest farmer not being an expert in the field joke ever.
I was like, dude, we're gaining ground here.
You're starting to turn into a funny guy.
And he hits me back and he's like, I'll admit it was pretty funny.
And I was like, whoa!
Like, I was so happy because he got through to one person that just wants to be a miserable prick,
but he just can't help but be funny.
And I was like, yes.
Like if you can get one or two of those, fuck a month, I'm happy with that.
You know, you just break through to those people and just let them know it's just okay to laugh, right?
That's, I like that, right?
That's cool.
That's super cool.
You want to know something funny that I stumbled across today?
I love hearing funny stuff, man.
Plant-based KFC.
It's trending on Twitter.
I shit you're not.
And you know what it read?
It read, and I'm going to torture this.
It said, if you want plant-based KFC, click like.
But if you know we need plant-based KFC, click retweet.
And it was KFC that put it out or whatever.
And I was like, I don't even know what that looks like.
I would direct everybody towards Robert's sake, actually.
He's fantastic in dealing with methane versus CO2.
and everything and this whole culture of animals
are gonna be the death of the planet and everything.
If you can find them on Twitter,
he's on YouTube quite a bit there too.
I'll actually maybe, if you're throwing this on YouTube,
I'll try and get you the links
so you can maybe throw it in the comment section.
But the guys are genius and with how he speaks
with everything, he's really good.
But this whole, I really get frustrated
with a lot of these different ideologies
of, you know,
farming is going to kill the world and then animals are going to kill the world and what does
everybody want to live off of like it's just you you can't eat tree bark you know but that's why i bring
that's why i bring up the population thing that 80 81% is living in a city there's you know
Lloyd is not a giant city right boy just is not a giant city saskatoon is not a giant city but
Toronto is a giant city.
New York City is a giant city.
And when you get majority of the population living there,
and they have no bloody clue.
Like, they got no bloody clue about how things are.
I do shop local.
I go down to the grocery store.
That's right.
I know.
I know you do.
I get my beef from down there.
The beef is there, right?
No, we don't do anything harmful to the cows.
It's like, well, do you really know how that works, right?
Like, when you think back in the day, 50% of the population used to have to, and it was probably more than that, 50% didn't live in a city.
But back then it wasn't the same way, you know, it is even today.
Well, hell, you look at milk.
We were talking about milk and Lloyd back in the 50s, I think.
And there used to be milk cows on the edge of Lloyd.
They'd milk them and then walk the milk in the town and sell the milk.
Well, where do you get, like think about milk now, right?
Straight up.
My kids aren't going to have a bloody clue where milk comes from.
It comes from the store.
Even talking milk, like, I mean, you know what happened to half the population right now
if somebody tried to drink unpasteurized milk?
It would be worse than COVID.
We would have one hell of an outbreak on our hands.
God, I love the archive interviews are hilarious because I'm not saying every old person
is a wealth of knowledge, but they give me.
one gem. Always one jam.
And the one I did
yesterday.
Sorry, if you could call them elderly and not
old. I don't want to have to
start saying defund the Sean Newman
podcast. You can start it. Let's start it.
Defund the Sean Newman podcast.
They were
talking about not having out on
the farm. They didn't have
running water. So they had the outhouse.
They didn't have toilet paper.
They used the eaten
catalog. And
I was like, oh, man, what was that like?
They're like, what do you mean?
What was it like?
That's what we used.
You got to rub the paper together to get it soft.
He said in the winter months, the eating catalog got a little brittle.
And then they go, and then they go, oh, you know, the best time in the year, though,
was when the mandarin oranges came in.
Because they had that tissue paper.
And they were both like, here was this old married couple.
They both looked at each other.
And they're like, oh, yeah, the tissue paper.
Those are magical days.
I thought that was headed down the orange peel train and be like it was a nice citrusy, fresh wipe.
The tissue paper makes sense too, I guess, yeah.
I was like, man, that is a whole different type of toilet paper crisis, right?
Like, I mean, can you imagine if today people had to start ripping up their newspaper to do it with?
Yeah, it's straight up, man.
And that's where you see, like, there's a lot of people that have said how horrendously bad that this, you know,
pandemic and everything's been on i've been like hey you know people aren't getting bombed in europe and uh you
know like yes people tragically have died but i mean this has this is this is by no stretch of
imagination been the worst thing that the world's ever seen you know um not even close yeah so uh
yeah if we ever had to go back to the way things were i mean and that's i i try not to put that in
a lot of my stuff and it tries not to be a thing that i say but i mean there's people
that are going to make her and there's people that ain't going to make her, you know?
We can all think of probably five people immediately on one hand.
They're like, an eating catalog?
No, what's got my way from my, my anus with that?
It's true.
But the thing is, is I even like, and I think that's where a lot of people are so far out of
touch with what happens is that like, I even think I'm like, man, power, this, that,
everything that like that is going to be tough what i make her because that'd be tough well power is
probably it's got to be the single most for where we live power makes it makes life easy yeah man
like you talk you talk to the the the the you think of all the things that run off power
and you talk to the elderly now i'm using a quick dick word
No more defuncheon.
I changed you.
We have another member of the Quick Dick Society that has been changed.
But you think about it with them growing up, they cut firewood pretty much all year around, right?
How did they heat their house?
In the winter months, they cut ice blocks to fill up the, what the hell they call it?
Yeah, so they were like their underground little like caverns or whatever you want.
That's right.
They're ice box, right, to keep things frozen all there.
when when you know when they're farming they don't have a combine they have a thrasher and teams of what like nine to 11 guys run one of those suckers and you work all day long doing a field like get your brain around that that hurts that's that's that's straight up true true story man and then power comes in and all of a sudden you don't need to cut wood anymore all of a sudden you don't need to go out in the wintertime and cut ice anymore i mean shit you got a you got a you got a
You got a deep thing.
There's 50% of your workload gone.
Gone.
Yeah.
And yet when you talk to all those people,
they look back on those years as some of the fondest times in their entire lives.
This is exactly it.
And like I think back to when I was a kid,
actually where my parents lived now,
it was a place where there was no running water and a bunch of things.
And that's where my dad would cav out the cows.
And we'd go there.
And that was where we went for Christmas break.
and there was you heated that place with wood.
There was no running water.
There was power.
And I think back to that, it's just be like that, was roughen it, but so much fun, right?
But you got to stay challenged and you need to stay busy.
And I think that's maybe where you see this social media taking over the world is because
we don't have enough physical things to keep us busy anymore.
So everyone's busy being on social media kind of thing,
which is, man, I would, pardon me,
would kind of love if the power went out tomorrow
because I wouldn't have to carry his fucking cell phone around
with me everywhere, you know what I mean?
Quictick could go back to being illustrations.
It'd be the comic of Quictitik,
the Chronicles of Quick Dick in illustrations.
Conflicts coming in hot.
I have this, like, idea in my head
that I'm driving down Tuffnell.
I look over and there's Quick Dick in like a blue ball,
just fucking.
talking to his phone and I'm like oh there's quick dick making another video
the funny thing is the the the bar our ranch where all of this stuff is shot the the
here a shout out to mark and windy rogers here they're probably not listening because mark
doesn't listen to podcast either he's too busy um but uh the man the funny thing is he's there's been
if c tv news is out in a few things or whatever interview and mark's like yeah they're like well like
how does he get any work done?
He's doing all this stuff.
Mark's like,
I'm still waiting to bust him filming one of these things.
Like,
I don't know when he does it.
Like,
that's the craziest thing is everyone's like,
man,
how much time do you spend setting this up
and doing this and doing that?
I'm like,
anything that you see without a green screen behind me
is like happening when I just see a moment
when no one's around
and I can just kind of crank one out quick, you know?
Have you?
Crank one out quick.
Yeah, crank one out quick.
Yeah,
you know what it?
Multiple meanings.
Have you not been,
it walked like busted then like filming something and all sudden
somebody walks around you got the camera sitting there and you're like well this is awkward
no no not that i can think of at this point in time but when there there'll be times where like
i'll be going to places where i know there's people around um like there's one shot i got in the
federal car tax so i had i wanted to go to the co-op grocery store in town and i wanted a shot
of the oats with the price tag behind me kind of thing or whatever right and uh
it's actually kind of funny when you go into a small town or whatever and you do your thing
everybody knows who you are everything I go into the the guy that was managing the co-op I'm like hey man
are we cool if I just do like a quick I just want to grab the oats or whatever he's like oh yeah
clear the aisle quick it's going to do a shot like what is happening here right now
quiet on the set you know but most of the stuff I do I just like if there's going to be something
awkward where people are clearly going to see that, you know, their property,
or something is, is in one of the clips or whatever. I'll be like, hey, you know, I'll get
the permission and make sure it's okay or whatever, but there's a lot of people that I know
are just perfectly fine with whatever. And so I'll just go and do it. And like nine out of ten times,
and you see me doing stuff in Tuffel or any of those, there's a reason that most of it's like
later in the day or closer to nighttime because then nobody's kicking around because
you do get people floating around that if they know you're kicking around,
and trying to take a shot there.
They're just kind of conveniently with their hands
and their pockets hanging around in the background kind of thing
or whatever.
Just be like, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like just trying to get in out of there,
which is fun, but it's, yeah.
If you get a quick dick, a quick dick stalker.
Somebody who just follows you around just to wait, right?
Spoiler alert, I think I already do have a few stalkers there.
Man, you're really going to watch some comment sections.
but it's it's kind of funny though too you get a lot of things where you'll just like you'll go to
you know somebody's birthday party or something like that kind of thing and uh and everyone be like
like oh quick dick sir you get pictures and tag you and hashtag and do this and that and then the
one is like there's going to be some really great filming opportunities here tonight for you to do
your thing and i'm just like yeah you know i'm not here's quick dick tonight i've just
just came to drink with my neighbors is that okay and but like
everyone gets it right away. They're like, oh,
ah, shit. Yeah, and then you get drunk and everything's all good. You know what I mean?
But it's, yeah, it's funny. Small Town Saskatchewan's funny and I love it for being funny.
I'm going to try and do one here Thursday on Small Towns, Saskatchewan.
But Hockeyville, Kraft Hockeyville, Pence, Saskatchewan, everybody get voting.
That's going to be, they're going to be voting on Friday, right? I believe is when this goes down.
I believe you're correct. There's 33 hours.
where you can vote for the one town west of Quebec.
I was just going to say.
When they put it up on the bloody map, I'm like, really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I know you got a big, you know, sports following there.
Oh, 100%.
Yeah.
Well, so Friday.
So everybody's like.
Make sure we vote because it is true.
On the map of Hockeyville, it's.
it's Penns, Saskatchewan versus the east.
That's all people need to know.
That's exactly what it is.
And you know what I think the good thing is,
is that there is nothing west of Quebec.
That means that maybe we might have Ontario on our side on this little go here or whatever.
So I'm going to try and do what I can to try and get something out to my social media platform
to try and get people because it's a very short voting.
You're a YouTuber, man.
You know, quick tick me the YouTuber.
That still kind of makes me cringe.
little bit, but I'll let you get away.
Embrace it, you know?
But there, yeah, so I think it's a 33-hour voting window
between Friday and Saturday that you have to vote.
And I guess it sounds like it's going to be a little bit of a process.
You got to log in, create a profile, and then vote.
But, and I know, like, when I hear that, I'm like, well, I'm not fucking voting then.
Everyone's like, ask you, right?
I'm out.
Yeah.
So if anyone out there, I don't care if people buy my hats or shirts, I couldn't give two shits.
But, man, if you ever want to do quick, take a favor, log in and vote for Pants on Friday and Saturday.
Because, man, would it be awesome to see a small town Saskatchewan hockey rink?
Do this for me and the listeners.
Where is Pence?
So it's just outside of Regina.
So it's on the number one highway.
So if you go west of Regina on the number one, I mean, you basically don't blank, but I mean,
Pants is just what I think it'd be not even 30 kilometers outside of Regina that way.
Have you been through Pence?
You know what?
We've probably all been through Pants.
I've been through, I've not going to say that I've been through the town of Pence,
but I have gone by the Pence One sign on the highway.
That means you've been through Pants, right?
Speaking of sports, I was curious to get your opinion on this.
Oh, sure.
It's going to be a shallow opinion if we're talking in sports because I'm a dummy when it comes to it.
I don't know. I've been interested in your opinion on the Edmonton Eskimos getting rid of their name.
I think I put a tweet out on that, whatever, whatever. They should call them the Edmonton Renewable Energy Years, maybe. That might appease everybody out there a little bit better.
This, well, I mean, cancel culture in general. I'm, to be perfectly honest, I'm so fucking sick of it. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever been exposed to, I think, in my entire life.
and Jemima syrup, this is a problem.
Uncle Ben's Rice, this is a problem.
We got to stop.
There are more important things to focus on in the world.
You know the one my wife told me about tonight?
What's that?
Not that you're going to know anything about this probably.
Who do I know?
But you probably have somehow you know all about it, but is Paw Patrol.
Supposedly, Paw Patrol shows systematic racism, I think, is what she was telling me tonight.
I know what Paw Patrol is.
and are you probably? Yeah, my brain literally turned off when she said it. I was just like,
what? Like, I can't even believe I uttered that on a podcast, to be honest, just other than how
ridiculous it is. It's like, I can't, man. And that's, you know what, there's, it was on my job board.
I can't remember the name of the guy that did it, but there was a bunch of things that were really
getting called out and I was kind of going to go through this whole list of stuff that was getting
called out and and throw some one line is that it and then somebody did it and they would I can't remember
oh I feel really bad because this is on YouTube um but I mean I can't be a guy that's on YouTube
be expected to know everything that's on YouTube you know what I mean but uh this guy just went through
I don't know whether it was a Walmart or a super store or whatever it was but he went down aisles and
like he was pulling out like the Klondike bar with the polar bear on it.
He's like, excuse me, the polar bear is extinct, canceled, and he keeps going through all this
stuff.
I pissed myself laughing at this video.
He did such a good job of it.
But like it's a really good example of what's going on with this cancel culture that's
happening right now, but I just cannot in any way, shape, or form wrap my head around at all.
Well, everybody's offended.
That's what I've, that's.
And so maybe.
maybe I can maybe I can lay claim to having the first
offended society video because I did one called
offending society and that was back when they were changing
what was they were changing the midgets in
in minor hockey when they were changing midgets
because everyone was getting offended from
you know what defund quick dick I shouldn't have said that on your
podcast so I'm probably going to be in trouble but I went through like
you know peewees and atoms and all that stuff or whatever and like it just
I still I still wonder I played Tom Thumb hockey which is a Saskatchewan small I think small
down Saskatchez I don't even know Tom thumb you guys talk to Tom or his thumb before I don't know
that's right I don't know if we did right like anseled actually I don't even know what that you know
I should really Google it because what the heck does tom thumb even mean I I've never really thought
about it I don't know I haven't met Tom but oh maybe the ladies said something on his thumb there that
they were interested in. I'm not quite sure how that might work. I don't know, but
you know, on a completely different subject kind of is how much time do you spend
literally thinking up rhymes or quick-witted endings to your videos? Because you've had a couple
where, where I'm just like, God, is this guy like, is he rhyming in the entire time?
Like, that is rather than that. You know what? I'd say that's the, I,
I spend the least amount of time thinking those up.
I don't know why those come to me fast.
I did,
like if you've seen some of those,
like they're called short quick dick,
McDicks,
which is I named,
I named them that for a reason,
which I think it's a hilarious name for something,
but,
um,
like,
you know,
the first one I think I did was a Mother's Day one,
then Father's Day,
then Defund the police,
but I'll do a few more because they're the easy.
Defund the police.
That's what I'm thinking.
That was fucking hilarious.
That was like,
I was like,
that was rather entertaining and I'm pretty sure it rhymed the entire time.
Totally did.
I like doing those ones.
They're fun and it doesn't take me much time to do them.
The first one I ever really did was, and I don't know what made me come up with it,
but I did the,
I think that was the first video I ever put on YouTube where I actually had my phone
turned to 16 by 9 so that you can get the full cinematic YouTube experience.
where I did the one called Santa said fuck it
and it goes through and it's just a limerick from start to finish about Christmas time
and Santa just being tired of the world and so he says fuck it or whatever
but I don't know I think those ones are fun I try and keep under a minute
and like it doesn't take long to fill up a minute worth of rhymes kind of thing
but I don't know I think that's and I've kind of
throttled down a little bit on the vulgarity on my ending rhymes
thing because you know, I used to, well, a lot of the earlier ones didn't even rhyme.
It was just like keep your fence post and your old lady pounded kind of thing, you know what I mean?
I did enjoy, though. I forget what video it was where it plays through the credits.
And I've done this before where after the credits were all, you're like, you're still watching?
Well, aren't you just an avid watcher? And then you just drop a big F-bomb. Oh, that felt good.
And it did.
I might start doing a little bit more of that because I think, man, it really shows you who, like, is really interested in your video and what you're doing because they're going to be like, well, why the fucks there are two minutes left at the end of this video and the credits have rolled, you know?
So I did, for my 100th, I had Ron McLean on.
So for literally a month before that, what I did was,
is we played a little game at the end.
I just every end, after I have the end of the episode,
then I have this like little 10 second clip saying,
hey, you should subscribe.
Yeah.
And then I play this like, well,
I recorded a new one at the end of every episode saying,
you know, like this is going to be today's hint for who episode 100 is.
And we did that for a month.
And on the analytics,
I had no idea about this until like,
literally like this week, no,
a week ago.
Like last week, I somehow stopped.
almost across it. You can see how many people actually paid attention to the end of the episode.
I'm like, wow, that's kind of cool, right? You could see that people, there was a ton of people.
As soon as the end of episode ended, you just plucked it off. There are people like yourself or
myself go, why is there two minutes left? Yeah. Why is there time left here? Yeah. Did he leave blank
space? What an idiot. He left blank space. And then all of a sudden he started talking, oh shit. Well,
all right. And then my response to that of people being like, did he leave blank space? I
be like, who the fuck leaves blank space?
Like, this makes sense, right?
But the funniest thing about that is, is BMA.
I had to set up his phone so he could watch whenever I upload and all this stuff or
whatever.
And I was like, did you like the ending?
I mean, not like the ending.
I'm like, you fucker, the credits came and you shot it off, didn't you?
He's like, well, yeah, it was over.
But no, it was, uh, it, it, it was.
It was good.
I think I'm probably going to start doing more of that stuff because I think,
like even what we're doing here right now, you know, to be honest,
I would assume that a lot of people that watch me probably aren't going to spend this
amount of time, you know, watching us or listening to this stuff or whatever.
If they do great, that's awesome.
But like, I think the thing is, is this kind of interaction, even if you want to call this
interaction, I mean, I'm talking to a computer right now.
But this kind of thing is, I think maybe an important thing to include.
for your fans a little bit kind of thing.
Where even just at the end of a video,
it would be like, you know, have a couple of blooper rolls.
Be like, you know, because I do have bloopers, believe it or not,
and some of them are legendary, which I need to start saving them.
But, you know, have a couple of things and just be like, you know,
hey, here's what's going on.
Here's where the merch is at.
And, you know, this is what's coming up next week kind of thing.
I don't know.
Yeah, there's, man, there's just so many different routes you could take things at
and so many more.
You feel like you're on the inside of a joke.
Yeah, man.
It's the best.
Absolutely.
My favorite, and don't judge me on this.
Actually, I don't even give a shit.
In college, I liked how I met your mother, the little short 30-minute sitcom.
Yeah.
And what I appreciated about that was, if you watched it from start to finish, after about
the first season, they had these inside jokes that ran the entire nine seasons of.
it. That's killing. Yeah. And they never explained it unless you watched it in the first little bit.
They never went back and said, oh, this is what happened. You had to literally watch it.
I was like, that is brilliant. That is absolutely brilliant. It's brilliant. And what you do at the
end, and I don't know if it'll work all the time, but if you have it where, like you say,
awesome, you have like a little snippet at the end, you just kind of feel like you're, yeah,
I paid attention. I'm, you're on the inside of something really cool. Yeah, I'm, I, I,
For the 100th, I did it, and I didn't tell anyone I was doing it.
I just said, I wonder if people will actually stay and listen, right?
Like, it's just, you know, we'll just leave it alone.
I'm not going to, I'm not going to advertise it.
Let's just see if it goes.
It was pretty cool, right?
Like, people just reach out and they're like, well, is it this guy?
Is it this guy?
I'm like, oh, I guess people are actually listening.
Great up, man.
Yeah, and that's like, I think that was one of the things I put in there is,
if you're sticking around, you're a hardcore, quick Dick McDick fan.
And like, it's hilarious because off the start, there's a whole bunch of
of stuff in the comments where people would just be like hardcore that would be it that would be
their comment i'd be like what the fuck is everyone talking about and i'm like i know what you're talking
about then i had to go back to all those ones and be like yes you're hardcore right whoops yeah
but uh yeah man it's there's just so many different things to do and there's man there's so many
different things that i want to try and cover and do um and i think the coolest thing when i was
talking to leslie and rob there on the on the on the on the what the farm podcast
there. That was actually really interesting. What I got back from them was that they said,
you always have us guessing. Like, we just never know what next week is going to bring, you know.
And I'm really glad and I really hope that's how everybody feels about it is because that's,
that's what I try to do. And when you, when you hear some positive feedback off something that
you're trying to accomplish with it, you're like, okay, like maybe I'm in tune with a lot of the people
that are watching this stuff, right?
And that's important to me.
Like, I, I, I want to be able to deliver content that, that people are going to be able
to relate to, feel good when they watch.
And then, yeah, like, I got some really cool ideas coming up of what I want to do that
I think when people watch it, they're going to be like, what is happening right now?
But I think that's kind of the fun thing, you know, when me and BMA did that battle,
the thermometer one, when we turned it into kind of a, you know, like a game show or whatever.
Like everyone just roared over that.
And I was like, that's awesome.
And like that's, I kind of want to keep little shitty jokes like that coming all the time just to, you know, keep it fresh, right?
Because eventually you just get tired of the same old thing, same old thing, same old thing, right?
Well, the world just seems to bring you fresh ammo everything.
I mean, there's no shortage, man.
There's no shortage, right?
And your videos are very bang on.
and the fact that you could probably beat a dead horse for 30 minutes and you do it in 10 and it feels like,
oh man, like this is ridiculous. But is it pretty cool to work with your, like to have your dad as one of
the stars in it? Oh, it's, it's amazing. I'm like, I've said this to a few people before is,
it's, it's kind of like a new way for him and I to interact, which we've never had trouble with
before, but a lot of the time when you're kind of our age or whatever, you're sitting down,
You just kind of have a beer with your dad and joke around and then it's all good.
Then you kind of go.
But like, I remember as a kid, like, my dad was my hero all the time, like all the time.
And, you know, you'd watch them.
I'd sit for hours in the barn and watch him shoe horses and try and, you know, learn by watching what he was doing stuff.
And there's just so many things that he was good at.
But I remember there's one thing that really stands out in my mind.
Dad would never stop and, like, work on, like, like, kid projects with us or show up at
swimming pool when you were having a father's day thing or whatever he was always gone working or
whatever right but there was one time he took some time uh to uh build us swords out of wood
in the shop and like i just remember this being a like it's everyone's got those things that
kind of stands stands out um p s to anyone out there listening i i'd never take a day for granted
that i get to spend with my dad because i know i'm lucky enough to still have them in my life right
there's a lot of guys out there that don't.
So this has kind of become our wooden sword kind of thing where, like, I really get pumped up
when I'll come up with an idea and I'll be like, hey, man, we should do another tough
a tuffinil at 10 or let's do, I'm doing this one and this is kind of what I'm thinking.
And we'll start joking around and it turns really fun.
And then he'll come up with an idea or come up with something and like, we'll just kind of
both piss ourselves laughing and be like, that's perfect, you know what I mean? And it's just a
really, really cool way to interact with them. And the funniest thing ever is that, like,
I had my mom in one of them once as a silhouette kind of thing or whatever, because the joke is
that Quick Dick's mom's not approve of anything that he does. And we were chatting here
the other day and she was like, oh, that was a funny joke. I was like, does that mean you'll do
another one? And she's like, I guess we could do another one. I was like, nice. You know what I mean?
but it's just, I don't know, it's just kind of a fun way for us to hang out and,
and not just sit around and talk about, you know, who has babies and who's married and everything
and what my major malfunction is, you know what I mean?
So it's a real nice conversation change kind of thing, right?
But yeah, it's really cool to be able to interact with him and hang out with him and laugh with him, you know,
because he's a funny guy.
And, like, he's kind of where all three of us boys get it.
from. And this kind of gives them an opportunity to showcase it a little bit, right? So it's,
it's good. Like, there's, there's nothing really bad coming out of any of this stuff, you know,
so. Well, it's, I, I've had my father on the podcast once. He was guest number, I think number two.
I think I was, you know, but a big, would have been cooler if he was guest 69, but anyways,
just, because then you just could have just ground his gears forever on that.
You know what I mean?
Hey, dad, remember what number of guests you were?
Say it for me.
Well, there's always 169.
There's always 269 and so forth.
That's fair enough.
I will take that in consideration here as I close on on 169.
He was, he was, I've been big on consistency.
So I started in February 2019, have not missed a week.
So every week, there's been new.
episode. Yeah, I'm not a consistent guy. I've got to be honest. But for some reason, this is
not easy, but I enjoy doing it. I can believe that it would not be easy and good for you.
And it's good that you enjoy it. But like to have a streak going like that is impressive, man.
Well, so dad, dad could have ended the streak after week one. Because literally, how about this?
Episode two, I literally do not have a guest. Like, the guy, the guy.
guest I was supposed to have backed out last you know I was new whatever yeah I'd done my first one
second one it's fallen through and you could easily thrown in the hat I literally called dad up and said
listen need a guest tonight for the podcast okay where are we going it's like do you want to know
what we're doing first no no just let's go and then and then I tried getting them on a father's day and
I'm actually kicking myself because I watch what you do with big mustache and I'm like like that's
frickin sweet and my father in particular i when you say you know you worship the ground he walks on
i i think all of us boys and and my sister as well uh dad was just he's a special guy right like
and i assume most most people look at their father that way but i don't for sure we all did and uh
you think you got 50 more years of sitting around but you just never know and uh there's so many
things i'd love to sit and talk to them like
we're doing right now.
Yeah.
And I wanted to have him on for Father's Day and he dodged and ducked me.
And I'm like, where's the guy on episode two?
And I just said, hey, come on.
He's like, you're getting too popular.
I don't know if I can go on.
I'm like, really?
Like, really?
How many goddamn people you got listen to this thing?
Not many.
Kate, do you want to hear funny?
It's the only blooper I've ever saved ever.
and it was with BMA
and we were doing the very first
Tufnal at 10 and he was doing the weather forecast
and it was his idea to come up with the cat tail microphone and everything
we are out in the cutting block where we cut firewood
in the middle of nowhere in Saskatchewan
there is me, him, possibly a coyote and maybe a moot
somewhere off.
That is the largest audience we possibly have, right?
So I've got this phone and he knows how it works.
We tape it.
then I go edit it, everything's all good.
And we talked about how we're going to film it.
And his line was, it's winter in Saskatchewan.
What do you expect?
Right?
That's his weather forecast.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
It's winter and Saskatchewan.
He's looking at the ground and he's pacing.
It's winter in Saskatchew, what do you expect?
It's winter in Saskatchewan.
What do you expect?
I was like, okay, you ready?
And he looks at me with this, like,
cold bleak look at his eyes and he goes
I've got stage fright
and he's serious
stage fright
of what the phone
but that's like
example 800 and that's and like you say
it's it's funny like
how our dads can get to the point
where they're just like your dad's like well
how many people will listen to this thing
I don't want this many people listening to me
you know what I mean
and like bless their heart for that i mean that's that's what makes them as awesome as they are you know what i
mean is is that that part of them right it's a pretty cool trait yeah 100% will agree with that
because um i can just imagine well and i i i can't speak to what you go through but at times you
there's certain people that come around you and you just feel like they're trying to
they're just trying to get it and i'm like i'm not that big a deal
I'm just really not, but they're still trying to figure out how they can use you to get to where they want to get to.
It's a really weird.
It's a really weird feeling.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
But then to have your father go, I won't come on because too many people are going to listen.
Yeah.
That's the complete opposite way of that.
Yeah.
So like nine out of ten times, you have people like, hey, how can I get in on that?
How can I get in on that?
How can I get in on that?
They're like, well, I don't know if I want in on that or not.
You're like, fuck. Can we find some neutral ground?
You're too popular. I don't want that.
Dad, I'll give you all the Pilsner you can drink.
Actually, you know what? That might get a man.
Dad, I got cold Pilsner. He might be here in a heartbeat.
He's, BMA, is your own man of Pilsner drinker or what?
Actually, Dad will drink anything that's cold.
And actually, he might even drink anything that's warm.
So I literally, you know, when I sent you the message about your, the air conditioning
breaking down, I'm literally, I take the, where the wife and I take the kids out to my, my,
my parents house out on the farm. And I go to mom, I go, so, so where's that? Oh, he's outhang.
And I'm like, oh, all right, right. So I'm sitting there and, oh, quick, takes got a video.
I'll sit and watch and it. It's talking about their AC breaking down. And I'm laughing.
and I think it's funny.
And not 10 seconds after that, dad strolls into the house.
Sweaty, dirty, covered.
And he goes, he looks at me and goes, did you bring beer?
Because he texts me to bring beer.
And I said, I'm not going to.
I apologize, dad.
I got that three quarters of the way out here.
It's my fault.
I should have brought beer.
I feel bad.
And he's like, all right.
And he walks to the kitchen table and just sits down.
I'm like, yeah, all right?
He's like, fucking AC broke.
and I damn near like I was crying we'd laugh him because I just literally watched the video of the
AC unit breaking in the tractor and here got added and it was like one of those it was like a week
and a half ago what is that two weeks ago maybe yeah somewhere in there yeah plus 30 weather he's
out in the old tractor just giving her no AC sweating his bag off dude there's that that video
specifically uh actually kind of taught me a little bit about my
craft of what I'm doing and who follows me can't think because I started like I even started
putting stuff on TikTok. I heard this. Why? Why? No, no. So it, because it's, it's a busy social
media platform and there's, and like here's what so I put it. I put that video on there.
It's ridiculous. You spend like an hour in the morning. So that goes on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter,
you're now TikTok, Snapchat, all this stuff or whatever.
He's just like, ugh.
I put this out on TikTok.
Dude, it's at 225,000 views and picked up 10,000 followers off of it.
Really?
Like, just talking about a pine cone-shaped bale and air conditioning shading the bed.
Like, how does that, can you explain,
me the metrics of how that works because I don't know.
I need to get on TikTok obviously.
As far as I'm concerned, the trim your bush one was funnier.
But for some reason, you just get those ones that hit and I don't know how it works,
but like I don't know.
I just feel like what I learned about that one is that people like you tame the swearing
down a little bit so there's a few church groups that'll share it.
And you know.
some stuff that kids can kind of watch and there's like there's there's going to be if any parents are
out there listening that are pissed at quick that because he swears too much or whatever well there's
there's there's going to be stuff coming that that I'll keep putting out there turn this off a long time
ago quick yeah they're they're done yeah there who hasn't turned it off yet truck drivers that's who
you guys keep shifting gears out there don't worry speaking of truck drivers did you see the uh the video of
uh Cody Bhutan a faithful listener from around here
a friend of mine driving by, I can't remember if I tagged you in it or not,
driving by the motel off the side of the highway at Maple Creek.
Did you see that?
I did see that.
You tagged me in that and he had it playing.
He had it playing.
Damn, that is veteran move right there.
Oh yeah.
So he's probably right now listening to this,
laughing his ass off because he is listening to it.
And is Cody, you said?
Yeah, Cody Bhutan.
Well, Cody Bhutan, shout out to you, man.
And that, I actually, I love it when people make me laugh.
And that one made me laugh.
I was like, that is the greasy bastard I'm talking about right there.
I can, I can feel herpes just looking at it, you know what I mean?
I know if I'm allowed to say that here anyways, but I just let her rip.
Yeah, that's, you know what else I've actually got lots of on like Twitter and social media and stuff?
is there's getting to be a lot of pictures of the Tufnal 1 sign starting to float around out there,
which I'm so pumped about that.
Betty Ukrainians that works at the post office in Tufno has been like there's going to be a lot of people stopping in just to say hi.
And I was like, that's neat.
How's that working out for you?
Well, it's good.
We usually try and have a coffee and I'll try and show them the interesting things about the town.
I was like, so like what would you show them about the interesting things?
about the town.
Well, just that this is the post office.
Great.
Awesome, Betty.
Keep up looking at work.
You're killing it.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Where is this going to go for you?
I have no idea, man.
That's, I never would have.
Where do you, honestly, the TikTok thing surprised me,
because I've stared at TikTok for a while and I'm like,
I don't know, you just did what, you just did what you listed it off.
That's why I find it so funny, right?
Twitter, Snapchat,
Facebook, Instagram,
like, it just hurts my brain.
I don't care.
The only reason you do it is because you want people to understand that you're out there.
And if there was a better way to do it,
like just put a poll up and if people could just find it, fine.
Yeah.
So, so here's a crazy thing that I'll tell you, Sean.
And this is, we maybe should have done this before everybody.
I'll stop listening at the start of this or whatever.
One second.
I'll stop you right there before you tell me.
Here's a cool stat, okay?
The average listens on my episodes.
You want to know his crazy stat?
Oh, get me.
The average listens is the entire thing.
Shit, good for you, man.
That's awesome.
So I don't have, I don't have, I got to be honest.
I don't have the following the quick dick or people, other people.
But one thing is, and Rod Peterson said, Rod Peterson said this to me, the voice, the old, former voice of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders.
I'm like, I need to say that.
But anyways, and he sent me a text after we were done a week after.
He said, man, you got faithful listeners.
I didn't quite understand what he meant.
And then I stumbled upon how long people listen.
And they listen.
All my videos, all my episodes, videos, all my episodes, everybody listens to the end.
I'm like, that's awesome.
That's really fantastic, man.
Good for you.
So when you say people are like,
how they turned off a long time ago,
I'm interested to hear what you say.
And I personally believe people are listening.
I guarantee their listen.
That's great.
And you know,
I sure didn't say that to discredit you or anything like that is.
Get quick dick out of here.
Quick dick,
quit being a dick,
quick dick,
you dick.
But I get,
I watch my view durations kind of thing or whatever.
And I usually,
like I usually fall about three minutes short kind of thing or whatever,
which story of my life.
I'm used to that.
so it doesn't matter.
But the really, really crazy thing is, is like people just want to be able to put stuff out
and get subscribers and followers and views.
And for some reason, that's something that people want really bad and long for,
especially younger people, which I get.
You know, kids just love being able to get onto a quick dick because they're going to be like,
well, so many people are going to see my videos.
And that's anybody that I have, any kids that I have on Quictic,
we have a very serious conversation before we do an episode of the risks involved
in putting yourself online.
And that YouTube's not a thing that you're going to grow up and do and make a living out of.
Like, that's just not what it is.
You need to have a career.
You need to have training or you need to be able to farm or you need to be able to do something.
And if you want it as a side hustle and you think you can make it work for you, well, I mean, by all means, go give it a whirl if that's what you want to do, right?
The craziest thing about what I have going on is, like what I said earlier is true is I really, I couldn't give two shits how many people subscribe to my YouTube channel.
I couldn't care how many views I get.
I couldn't care how many followers I have on TikTok or any of this stuff.
I care that people can just laugh looking at it.
And that's why I'm not a guy where you'll see me running around being like,
hey, subscribe to my channel or do this or do that or whatever,
because I'm not in this to make a living at it or to make thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
You should know best to.
You really don't make that much off YouTube.
It's kind of a joke.
It's just not what it's about.
and it's embarrassing,
but I didn't realize
there was comments on TikTok
until I fucked around with it for a little while
and I was like, holy shit,
people are commenting on all this stuff.
But then I started rolling through it
and there's people that are being like,
hey, this is really funny.
I needed a laugh today.
I found Saskatchewan TikTok
and I love it or whatever.
And you know what?
Like if you can connect with people on that level
and just,
that's why I put it out to TikTok
and that's why I put all the stuff up on Instagram and Twitter and all these other places
is because everyone's got their social media niche that they've picked,
and that's the one that they stick with.
So if you just stick within YouTube, well, then only the people that follow you on YouTube
are going to find it, and if a few people share it, then it'll kind of get out there.
But if you can push your stuff out there, I push my stuff out there on these platforms
to spread laughter.
that's my endgame goal because I want people to laugh because laughter is so important in your life.
So that's why I do it.
And when I had a whole bunch of people that you got to get on TikTok, you got to get on TikTok,
you got to do this.
And it's like, I don't want anything to do with TikTok.
I still don't understand how to work it.
But like all of a sudden, if you have got a quarter of a million people that have laughed at what you're doing,
I'm okay with that and I'll put it out there and it's just it takes me another 10 minutes
because the internet shitty around here and you upload it there or whatever you know what I mean
I'm just yeah I'm just just not in this for for the cash and when you ask like where is it going
I don't know I'm going to try and keep doing what I'm doing and I'm going to try and keep people laughing
and I'm going to try and keep making people proud to be from a small town or or
laugh at small town life and be like, that's okay.
And then every now and then, I'm going to make sure people know what the fuck's going on
with this country that they might not know.
And that's, yeah, where it's going, I guess is a question that I really can't answer
because I never expected it to get here in the first place in any way, shape, or form.
Everything's happened completely unintentionally.
And here we are.
I really don't have an answer for where it's going.
I, uh, you know what I like about that answer though?
Is there's,
there's social media is,
there's so many people out there
that have read,
read the books. You're talking about, uh,
kids wanting to get likes and if they go on you,
they maybe they,
and a bit of it and whatever. I remember in the first time we were on,
you're like, oh, hopefully some of my fans like follow you.
And I was like, yeah, sure. I don't, I, I share your sentiment,
sentiment in saying like,
I don't know if I was really, that's why I started this.
I didn't start it.
I started because I was always interested in talking to people
and wanted to be on radio and somehow this kind of just open itself and away we go.
But so many people right now have read the book that says,
every person is amazing.
You got to say they're amazing.
You got to say it over and over again.
And you got to highlight this and you got to do this.
And if you post at this time and you post at that time and you do this and you do that,
I'm like, man, that's tiring.
I'm going to hate that by like month two.
If I got to do that, I might as just quit right now because I'm like, that isn't,
that isn't what I want to do.
And when I watch you and listen to you, what I love about it is that you're very genuine.
Just in the fact of what you talk about, I mean, obviously there's going to be some bloopers
and you're going to have to redo things.
But what you're talking about is not, I don't know, it's very unique.
And there's something to be said about watching.
from what you do. And it's, it's like, it's not trying to sell me anything. It's just entertainment,
like good, clean, fun humor. And I know my mother, and by sounds of it, all accounts,
your mother hates the swearing. But I think a little bit of swearing adds in just cherry on the top.
Yeah, it does, man. And it's, it's the best. And it's the best. And, you know, I mean,
I think it just, it points out how well you're doing when, you know, it wasn't,
the plan and yet here you are so, like, I mean, so successful. I don't even know what the hell
that word means, but for my standpoint, I watch it. I'm just like, yeah, that's cool. Like,
it's, it's really cool to watch. I, I appreciate that, man. And that's, I've had a, I've had a few
people ask me to be like, you know, what, like, do you get, what was it, do you get depressed after,
like, you put up a video and then all of a sudden people stop commenting on it and stuff like,
that and like I am I am looking right at you man and I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you
if this all went away tomorrow I just it just wouldn't affect me just be like oh you remember that
time when I was on YouTube yeah that was neat what are we doing now while we need to castrate
10 bulls is what's happening and then you just go and do that because it just like I think that's the
thing is it's it's who I am is what goes out there and that doesn't change from day to day I haven't
changed who I am or how I interact with people.
And I guess I still just kind of do this for my community.
And there's a lot of people getting onto that bandwagon and watching it and laughing
with me and my community and friends around here, which is fantastic.
You know, but like if YouTube went away tomorrow, it'd be fine because I still have fun
with people around here.
And that's kind of the more important part of life than it is of who's entertained by
you online, right? Because it's more real. It's not more real. It is real. Around here, right?
So, and that's, it's kind of neat when people are like, you know, man, I really would like to go work
with that guy for a day and see what. It's like, well, I can promise you, it would be fun because I like
to go have fun in a day. And even when you're shoveling shit out of a trailer, you can still have
fun shoveling shit out of a trailer like i mean it's just a matter of your perception of life right um
and yeah just it'd be really cool if you just keep pushing people towards looking at that perception
of life and being like no it's okay to have fun doing this you know you can still be serious and have
fun at the same time right so uh yeah it's it's it's been it's been crazy times and there's lots of
lots of things going on.
I'm learning a lot more about clothing than I ever wanted to ever in my life.
And that's really strange with this whole merch game.
And sourcing stuff out of Canada is not easy.
And I will continue to do it because that's been an actually interesting side thing on this.
And the other interesting sad thing is like you said with not trying to sell people,
something I've had a lot of people approach me looking for advertisements and you know
and it's just something that I haven't done to a certain extent and I want to keep it that way
and if when people do come to me and they you know they want to advertise products and
stuff like that I'll be like okay well that's neat well why don't you send me where it's
made and how you make it and what you're about and your story and everything and
and maybe I'll get back to you.
And there's a lot of times where I'm just like, hey, I'm not going to be a guy that's
going to go on and just be like, you know, hey, buy this Borgle, 1100 grain cart that
quick decks pull in here, whatever, right?
It'd be like, you know, the day might come where there'll be something in the background
that somebody has brought and that I'm going to be like at the end of my video on the
end rolls.
I'm going to be like, hey, shout out to versatile for this tractor that we got or whatever kind of thing or whatever, you know what I mean?
But it'll never be something that's just like it's like you're watching a sales channel.
You're going to laugh and you're going to enjoy it.
And if I can incorporate that into what you're seeing and being exposed to, okay.
I'll help out a manufacturer in Canada or something like that or whatever.
but man, I don't want to be put one of those things down and be like,
you will never, ever, ever see this.
But I want people to feel genuinely engaged about something honest when they watch Quictick
and not it just be some kind of corporate ad role that people seem to tune into.
I'm not into that.
I just, I want people to enjoy what they watch.
I want them to be able to relate to it.
And I want them to be able to laugh.
if I can accomplish that and still have a product placement or two in there, I mean, yeah, sure,
of course I'm going to do it.
But, you know, hopefully that's a guarantee I can keep to my fan base is to be like, you will enjoy
what you watch and never will you feel like you're watching a fucking infomercial.
You know what I mean?
The only thing we might disagree on is that a little bit.
And I agree exactly with what you're saying.
You don't want an infomercial meaning, hey, welcome to whatever.
beer and every time you pick it up. I get that. I do take advertisements at the start.
And my theory is if people like what you do and want to advertise, and I'm in a little bit
different situation in it justifies the means, meaning my time away from my family and wife
eventually has to be,
it's got to be worth something.
It's got to be worth something.
But at the same time,
I'm a, I'm a, I always bring up Joe Rogan because I really, really, really like what he does.
Don't have to love Joe Rogan.
I do too, man.
I'm a huge Joe Rogan fan.
And like, what he does is, I don't listen to a lot of his podcast either, so don't feel bad.
Well, what he does is he does, he'll do anywhere between four minutes.
and like nine minutes of ads right at the start.
As soon as he starts talking like we're doing, then nothing.
And I love that.
And to me, I'm like, that's perfect.
I think there's an art in that.
You want to advertise at the end, the start, great.
Middle?
No.
What we're doing here is something special.
And I want people that you talk about when you,
when you don't want to have something just slide in.
I get that.
That to me makes a lot of sense.
but if tomorrow you said you know what i just you know it's a time consuming thing and uh for whatever
reason i just can't do it if somebody walked in new holland walked in or uh john deer walked in said
here's a hundred grand quick dick we want to be at the start of your ad and say hey it's brought to
you by john dear or whatever now whether or not you wanted to do it if that got me more quick dick
but it didn't impose upon the actual product i gladly take that i as a viewer as a viewer
you uh so you you raise a very good point Sean actually uh and there's like there's one thing
I'll say is when whenever anybody watches quick tick there's like there's pre-roll ads of the
shitty stuff that you get off of YouTube yeah that's right which is it's a joke like
YouTube's a joke and here we are on it you know probably just got taken down we just got
taken down so come over to Apple podcast be fun quick ticket Sean Newman podcast they're
both done never to be seen on YouTube again because quick dick just can't hold his mouth um but uh yeah
so what you say is is is 100% right i mean that's i don't do midroll ads i don't do any of that
stuff because it pisses me off when i watch them or whatever right um and the so the crazy thing
when when i did that talk about shit video um i just got a a full well what i thought was a full line
a merchant that was was ready to go and I wasn't like I couldn't seem to be able to connect with
with everybody that would watch my stuff and uh I'd get questions all the time be like where can I get
one of those hats where can I get one of those hats and I've never been even the kind of guy that
would like push my website out and be like here's where you can get all of my hats and everything
I just put a nonchalantly in a few places and I was like no I need to tell people where they can
get the stuff because they want it and like I'm not selling merch because
because I want to sell merch.
I'm selling merch because people are like,
hey, where can I get a quick dick hat?
I'm like, you want a fucking hat that says quick dick?
Okay, I'll see what I can get together here, right?
So I put that out there and like the shit was like gone instantly.
Snap your fingers and I was like, holy shit.
And I guess the way I did it is I did it so that it was I felt like I was delivering something funny to somebody
about washing a hat or caring for your hat, which I think as a farm hand is like, that's a big
thing. Like, how do I clean this fucking thing that's on my head? It's greasy. It's sweaty.
You know what I mean? And the question that came to my mind when you did it was because I've never
done that. I've always done the dishwasher trick. Does that actually work?
The shower one? Yeah. It's the only way I've ever done it because the dishwasher has even
wrecked a few of mine. The washing machine's wrecked a few of mine. Oh, you can't do
The only time I have never wrecked one is scrub brush on the head in the shower,
and then you'll let it dry on your head.
I've never racked one like that.
And it gets it back to like looking sharp?
Like, like amazingly well.
You realize I'm going to try that probably tonight.
I want to know how it works for you too,
because I don't want to promote something that doesn't work.
But it's, yeah, it's been crazy.
I guess, you know, I can't say that I'll never, like I said, I can't say that I'll never have paid promotions or stuff like that going on.
But I just, I just wanted to remain organic for, for viewers.
Don't get me wrong.
I'll still use glyphosates and all that stuff in my videos or whatever, right?
But when I say organic, it's just organic humor kind of thing.
I don't think you have anything to worry about.
I don't think you have anything to worry about.
I honestly don't.
I don't either.
And what you said, and like that's, it's really cool about what you said about people that follow you and listen to your podcast and everything, listen, start to finish kind of thing.
And that's where we were talking about earlier about me, you know, chiming in and just saying fuck and cheers in the screen or whatever kind of thing.
That's, there are a lot of hardcore fans out there.
And those are the ones that I want to connect with the most.
And I think a lot of them that have just ordered stuff off my website or whatever is just like, hey, we're trying to support you, which don't.
I just want you.
100% though.
Yeah.
I just want you to get a shirt if you want a shirt.
Like, don't feel like you have to.
You know what I mean?
Like, everything's going to be fine if we don't.
But, yeah, it's, I guess I don't want to dance into that area where all of a sudden
you're like, people are pissed off that you're trying to push too much stuff.
And I mean, I just never let it come to that kind of thing.
But every now and then, if you got a, you know, yeah, some tractor or something in the
background kind of thing, you're just like, well, I mean, so be it, whatever.
And as long as you can keep it funny and light, I think it's okay.
right? I 100% think it's okay. I know there's going to be the Pyrus and say,
you can't have anything. La-di-da-da-da. As I see it, an SMP time behind my head, and I'm like,
and you got quick dick behind your head. And that's all right. To me, that's okay. Yeah,
there was one guy just, I don't know why I just thought of this, but there's a comment that
came out after I'd just put, I'd just put my website that I'd just finished getting built and stuff.
and it was in like the end of the credits.
Like no video, no nothing.
It was just in the end of the credits for QuickDick McDick Shirts,
visit QuickDickmcdick.ca.
And some guy just unloads in the comment section of,
oh, just another guy trying to sell T-shirts and do this,
and I'm homesteading, and I'm building an off-the-grid house and all this stuff,
and I hate money, and I'm unsubscribing.
And I just messaged him back as like, well, thanks for
stopping by, friend.
Next time you're in Tuff Mill,
a little quick dick will still buy you a beer.
Good luck with your off-the-grid house.
People,
it's going across the Peyton Ferry today.
Going across the Peyton Ferry today.
Love the Peyton Ferry.
And the lady goes to me,
it's kind of cold.
Yeah, it's kind of cold.
Feels like fall.
Yep.
Ah, what the hell?
I was two days ago, I was complaining.
It was too hot.
I said, yep, people just love the bitch.
And isn't that,
no matter what it is, people are always just going to bitch.
Don't matter.
It don't matter what it is.
We need something to bitch about.
We need to stop this conversation right now because it's like you're looking at the
job board for upcoming quick take videos here right now.
And this is this has happened in a few situations where you get going on something.
I'm like, are you like just trying to fuck with what I have coming up or what's going on here?
Well, perfect.
I'm glad I'm hitting on it.
Well, why are we going?
I've kept you long enough.
I've been, I've been, I, there's a reason why you were the top video, I think.
in the first 100. It's been fun to have you back on for what is going to be episode 104.
Cool.
Here's my favorite number, so that's neat.
There you go. I guess it was meant to happen, meant to be.
Who knew?
Let's go into the Crude Master Final Five, just five quick questions.
You've done this once before. I've tried to bring you a few new ones this time.
Oh, okay. Let's roll.
Well, we started talking about it right at the beginning.
I didn't think this was going to happen, and I see it as my question one.
But if you were going to recommend or wanted to pump the tires of one Sask band or artist, who would it be?
Sask band or artist?
Yes.
Yeah, well, yeah, I guess we kind of got through that.
But, like, yeah, I'd definitely throw Coulter's wall or Coulter Wall's name in the ring.
Have another vodka there, big.
Yeah, so let's get another provincial.
It shouldn't be that big of a deal.
Let's get Colseval.
He's a kind of wall guy.
Yeah, Colter Wall.
He's, yeah, he's a really good, great Saskatchewan artist.
So that's artist.
And then, I mean, if I had to go with a band,
I mean, I'm a pretty big fan of the Dead South too.
They're really, really good.
Oh, the Dead South, man.
Yeah.
They're super good, great, just a great feel to a lot of their music.
And, you know, a little more.
A random story about.
the Dead South. I have one tattoo on my body and the first time I ever heard the dead South,
Skinny's here in Lloyd, he was like, pick a song. And so we went back and forth while he
tattooed me picking songs. And there's the first time I ever heard Dead South. I was like,
and these guys, these guys are good. Boy, they're so good, man. Yeah. Yeah, they're really good. But hey,
like there's, oh man, there's in like mainstream country and stuff too. There's, there's, there's
Teneo Arts at a Weyburn and a few people that she's such a good,
or there's a lot of great Saskatchewan artists but I would go yeah I would go
Colterwall and then Verk Group Dead South cool if you were gonna you know you've become a bit
of a social media guy you're you're a YouTuber you're a TikTok now who who
is a guy or girl that you follow that is that makes you laugh oh shit um you are exposing
me as one of the shittiest YouTubers on planet Earth right now.
Because I really don't watch a lot of YouTube, man.
Well, it doesn't have to be YouTube.
It could be Twitter.
It could be, I don't know, hell.
There's an official media.
Yeah, absolutely.
It doesn't have to be YouTube.
Oh, okay.
Twitter actually makes it a little bit easier.
Because for some, I don't know why for some reason.
I just kind of pay attention to my Twitter more than anything.
But I think I've learned how to work at the best kind of thing.
There's a, does it have to be Saskatchewan?
No, God, no.
Okay, so there's a guy that runs an account that's called At 222 minutes, and he's like a parody account of 22 minutes.
Okay.
And like there's a lot of good follows on Twitter, but that guy has got to be the funniest guy that I follow on Twitter.
Yes, I know who I'm following next.
It's at 222 minutes.
and we even got in a in a little like beat each other's brows kind of a thing going on or whatever
and the guy's just hilarious and he's fast and it's really good and he even bashes the 22 minutes
account all the time and he's got some stuff and there's one that he'd put up about being two in the pink
one in the rank here a little while ago that I just I was in tears laughing at what he put up
but the guy's funny.
If you want a funny follow on Twitter
because nine times out of ten is a toxic follow on Twitter.
At 22. 22 minutes.
22, not 22, 22.
22. The guy's hilarious.
You name all your vehicles.
The next vehicle, I assume you have some vehicle names
floating in your brain.
The next vehicle you get, do you have one,
while you got old blue, you got wrinkles,
So there's ball, there's rankly ball, there's blue ball.
Then we got Morty.
Then we got Rolly.
Woody is BME's logging truck there.
Greenies is 993 Dodge, which is that's kind of a cheap name, but it's what he went with.
And I mean, I can't really grind his gears too much on that.
Man, I don't know.
I feel like I want to like take something in the direction of crotchless underwear kind of thing with the next vehicle.
but I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to incorporate it.
But we'll see what goes on because it's just,
I feel like there might be an old quad being acquired shortly.
I've been trying to get a hold of a big red trike kind of thing
to be able to haul around in the back of morning in the summertime,
but they're getting hard to find something that's in decent shape.
If anyone out there is watching this, got one for sale, hit me up.
I'll look forward to what you name it.
Yeah, because big reds are pretty badass.
And if you're, you know, dealing with big red and crotchless panties, there's the,
the options are endless.
Let's just say that.
So we'll see what comes down on the pipe here.
If Quick Dick was a wrestler, who would be your tag team partner?
Oh, man.
Jeez, that's a good question.
I would probably go with, oh, that is a tough question.
I feel like maybe, like I'm not trying to go mainstream on everybody here,
but I feel like I would go with the ultimate warrior.
The ultimate warrior?
Because he'd spend more time talking to his hands than he would talk him to you.
So it would be like there'd be a little bit less conversation to be had.
And he wore the frills good.
You know what I mean?
and like I'd hope that I could match the frills
except I would have like the beard mustache
colory frills kind of thing
and probably talk to my hands less
but you know there's rowdy roddy piper
there's a few guys that were pretty King Kong Bundy
you know like they were some of my favorites
but I was a pretty big ultimate warrior fan
so what I can assume is I was like
I wonder if he's a wrestling fan
ah fucking I'll put the question in and we'll see what I can assume
that is is that you watch
wrestling growing up then. So growing up as a kid, yes. I mean, there is, yeah. What was up with
IRS, Irwin R. Scheister? Like, was that really a wrestling guy? Like, how was that even a thing?
Who came up with that? They should be defunded. That was the worst wrestler ever.
Just saying. That's my to-y-on-ristling nerd.
right.
Final one, it's, I don't know if it's a cheesy one or not,
but what's your favorite farm activity?
You do all the jobs.
What's the one that you look forward to the most?
Yeah, hang for sure.
Hane's my favorite and start to finish it.
And not just because I did it like lots as an adolescent kind of thing.
I spent a lot of time on a custom hang crew.
I, oh man, there's so many things I love about hang.
So there's number one is that it's a progressive thing that you can really see happen.
With comp bonding, it's kind of the same thing where, you know, it's almost like cutting grass or whatever where you cut it and you see it's all cut and you pick it all up and you chop it or you bail it or haul your bails away.
The biggest thing I love about hang is that it's a progressive thing where you can see the progress that you're making on a day to day kind of thing.
and the fact that when you're doing it, you're like, I know that what I'm doing right now
is going to feed live animals throughout the winter and get them through the winter
to the time when the grass comes back again kind of thing.
So, you know, with crops you're feeding humans kind of thing.
But I don't know why, but it's just I'm just so charged up by being like, hey, this
is how the cattle are going to stay alive this winter.
This is how the horses are going to stay alive this winter.
And I'm the one doing it for him.
and going to keep them going kind of thing, right?
And there's a science to the dryness of it,
and your leaf loss and a whole bunch of different things,
and I just love it.
Plus, you get the truck, you get to haul hay.
Does this sound terrible, but I just get charged up.
I love hanging season.
It's my favorite time of year.
I love the smell of it.
I just love everything about it.
You're a complete nutter nerd.
I really am.
Yeah, I'm a hang nerd.
Yeah.
