Starting point is 00:04:35 Helps them know you're listening. Now, let's get on to the T-Barr-1, tale of the tape. Originally from Tufnell, Saskatchewan, Dixon DeLorm, better known as Quick Dick McDick, is a YouTube sensation telling him it like it is. If Like It Is Means Hick from Small Town, Saskatchewan telling you about Trudeau protests and everything Small Town Saskatchewan.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I'm kidding. It's hilarious. I should go give it a listen. Now buckle up because here we go. This is Quick Dick McDick McDick coming to you from Saskatchewan here today, asking you what is the one word that you used to describe the extreme sub-zero temperature? that we experience in this great province. If you answered Nippy, you might just be from Saskatchewan.
Starting point is 00:05:27 This temp is in a spiral. I think it's very vital to take... Sometimes, arrives. It's Nippy is the title. Here we go. It's cold outside today, outside today, that's what I say. It's Nippy, nippy, nippy, nippy, nippy, nippy, it's cold outside today, outside today, that's right, I say.
Starting point is 00:05:46 This morning, it finally finished storming. On underwear and cold my hair and saw those sundowns forming. Put on an extra layer and say a little prayer. It's minus 40. Come on, Morty. Your tires off your square. It's lippy outside today. Lippy. It's not a goal.
Starting point is 00:06:24 The wind can blow or it can snow. But nothing stops too ball. Welcome to the Sean Newman podcast. There's no point in starting it any other way than I got the notorious QDM on. I watched your rap video. I was like, I'm, I'm playing that for this episode at the start. I thought, I thought it was great. Nice.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I like it, but thanks. It's crazy how these things start, man. Like, it really is. I used the word nippy like four or five times a day, but I was kind of, like I was making. Nippy, nippy, nippy, nippy. But like, I was making. fun of everybody that was like, that was like, oh, man, sure is cold, sure is cold. And I'm just like, you know, like, it's cold every day. It's just cold. It's wintertime. So that turned into my response for the first few people like, because if you're in Saskatchew, and the first thing you're going to talk to people about is, is the weather and how cold it is, right? And, uh, and I don't know why, but I just said it to somebody. I was like, yeah, it's nippy, nippy, nipy, nip, nip, it's nippy out today. And, like, that's where I stopped for a second. And I was like, oh, I just had an idea.
Starting point is 00:08:14 And that was it. Like, it, like, yeah. Yeah, I got to go. I got to go make a video right now. Not really, but you put it in the, you put it in the memory banks or whatever. And then when I got home that night, I wrote it all out real quick. And then quick. And then the next day, just throughout the course of the day, it just kind of recorded it.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And those those take forever to edit, man. They really do. Well, a, I thought it was awesome. I had, here's my day, you know, I, I've been doing a little bit of work with Red Bicycle, so they wanted to come get some pictures of me doing this. And I was like, yeah, sure, like, yeah, cool. Yeah, right, great. So I got home from work, kids got home. I made supper. And then I'm like, watching the time. I'm like, and then my boy's like, you want to wrestle, dad? I'm like, yeah, we got time to wrestle. All right. Let's go wrestle. Then we wrestle, play a little
Starting point is 00:09:04 football. Then I'm still looking at the clock. Like, I got to go. So then I'm running around here with my head chopped off, and she wants to get a pouring of me pouring some, like, scotch into a cup. And I'm like, well, not what I'm going to do with it, right? Like, how do I get it back in the bottle? Guess we're going to fire this night up with QDM the right way. You never pour it back in the bottle, man. But I did do you good this time.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I am drinking Alberta-made Ribstone Creek tonight. We're getting you there, man. We are building you piece by piece. Peace by piece. I'm a slower. Well, cheers, buddy.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Yeah, cheers. It's good to have you on. I was, I would think about bringing you back on since I had you on last time. So it's, wasn't the last time the Health Foundation? We did a real quick one there.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Well, that's true. That is true. That is true. We did do a real quick one. That made, oh, man, big,
Starting point is 00:10:02 big congrats you guys. Yeah, let's hear your number again. It was over 350,000. that's so awesome the goal was 250 was the goal was 200 and we hit it and that was kind of like well where do we go from here but it's because it's because of guys like you coming on and and bringing some fanfare with you everybody who came in supported it right like it was yeah it was it was really great and man what a what a what an accomplishment by mikey there he he drove me to
Starting point is 00:10:30 the poor house i didn't think he was going to get that many kilometers i had to sell a steer to pay that bastard. No, that was, that was awesome. Man, what a, man, what a pile of running he did. That was and you guys had a lot of good guests on there. I was trying to, like, I was kind of in and out throughout the whole course of the thing, because I mean, I got my day-to-day stuff. And then when I got in that night, it was right close to when you guys were like kind of getting close to wrapping up. And I was, I couldn't believe what was happening. So it was like an awkward moment where I was like, like the end of my day usually is like a toilet and then toilet to shower kind of thing. And I kept putting off the shower thing. And it turned into one of the things where maybe
Starting point is 00:11:07 you wind up on social media a little bit too long and you got the big red ring around your ass kind of thing or whatever. You're like, I've been sitting on the toilet not doing anything for too long. But I got to see how it ends, right? And then what a great ending. Yeah. So congrats to you guys and the Health Foundation. That was an amazing, amazing accomplishment. And I mean, now you got to beat it next year too. That's the tough part, right? Yeah. I, I, I, I don't know what you even say about it. It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed doing that. I have fun doing it. I don't know Mike had fun running. I know the team had fun. It was just cool that we could pull something off with, you know, every time me and you talk, we talk about, you know, like, how are you doing? All right, right? And then COVID, yeah, we're making things go. It was just nice to do something fun and like, have people smiling and, and, you know, kind of like high fiving each other virtually with like, oh yeah, we're doing some good. And we had, we had a group of, a girls hockey team challenge another girl's hockey team okay was a boys geez i'm forgetting now but it was minor hockey they challenged and then
Starting point is 00:12:11 they were like they had like this twitter slash war going on and who was going to donate more money and i was like that's like super cool yeah that's a good kind of war to get going on right yeah yeah absolutely the world needs more wars like that absolutely so how is you how is how is the big guy uh good good man yeah it's been uh i like i i have uh I'm sure people have noticed I've kind of slowed down a little bit with my YouTube uploads. But it's kind of been a trade. Like I kind of traded off like every Monday morning productions where I kind of slack to later in the week. And then sometimes I don't get them out in a week and then I'll kick another one on a Monday or something will come to me and I'll do it right away.
Starting point is 00:12:50 And I'm actually kind of working on a little bit bigger one right now that's actually taking an insane amount of research. And I'm actually trying to organize visiting a couple of guys' farms that are around here, you got to be careful with that too i mean all that's it's all outside and everything will be fine but i mean to try and it's it's farmer stuff to try and get a time where i'm free and then they're free and we can meet up and there's just uh there's some cool things going on with uh with a little bit of uh energy things around here that uh just i really want people to be aware of uh and so that's taking a little bit of time and then for for some reason uh last year a lot of people were calling me and, you know, trying to get me to come on this and come on that and do this Zoom and do
Starting point is 00:13:34 that Zoom and stuff. And people get a little zoomed out. And I get people trying to get fresh content and get people into it. So I've been trying to take on a few more of those. And like what I've been trying to do for a few people is a 60 second video and then a live question and answer where you can interact with people a little bit. And it's been good. Like, you know, I did some of Cario and a couple others and then I've got a few others with the Canadian Young Farmers Federation coming up here and yeah, or yeah, Canadian Young Farmers Foundation, I believe it is. And yeah, just trying to kind of get out there a little bit and say hi to people instead of just, it's easier for me to put a video up and then like you just kind of push your content
Starting point is 00:14:17 at people and then you're like, I'll see you next week kind of thing. So it's, I don't know, it's just, it's neat to be able to interact with people a little bit and try and liven up some Zoom meetings and stuff because they do get. monotonous, I'm sure. If you're like a part of a company that's doing a Zoom meeting two or three times a day or two or three times a week, you just be like, I'm not even going anymore because it's not fun. Not that I make them any funner than what they usually are or whatever, but it's just, it gives people a chance to ask you some questions, I guess, right? Yeah. Well, I do what I normally do before a quick comes on. I listen to you talk for a long amount of time. And I was laughing. Sorry about
Starting point is 00:14:54 that because I listened I listened to you on several different podcasts including the last episode we did and I wrote down before I got to the last thing I listened to was our last episode and I listened to you and uh vance crow vance crow right yeah yeah absolutely yeah from st louis you bet you and the crazy thing was is like wow like this guy like I'm really I'm really digging this conversation these two are having like it's like and that doesn't I don't mean this like it just there's not a whole lot that you go on where you have a conversation and I sit there and I like sink into it a lot of it is and you probably feel this a lot of it is when you get onto a new podcast because we've had to do it already is you kind of have that that first conversation like hey I'm this guy you're that guy yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:15:47 you kind of get a feeling each other right and everyone asks the same questions and I had forgotten that you've been on Vance Crow before. So I walked into this one and started listening. I'm like, this is like really good. So then I wrote down Vance Crow because I'm like, we got to talk about this for a second. And then obviously I liked his first episode he did with you because on the last
Starting point is 00:16:10 episode we did, we talked about Vance Crow. So I'm looking on Vance Crow after this. And I'm going to see if he'll come on here. Because he seems like a pretty, you totally should, man. A pretty cool guy. Yeah, he really is.
Starting point is 00:16:20 He gets a lot of good guests. And like his history is really. I need to just for the simple fact that he did a lot of work discussing, you know, the GMO conversation with a lot of people, which is a there's so many touchy subjects out there right now. Like I'd go so far as to say all subjects are touching. I was just going to say everything is touching. Yes. In the world, like if it boils down to what type of underwear, if you're a boxer briefs kind
Starting point is 00:16:44 of guy or if you're somebody's fired up by it. Like there will be a war on social media over it, you know, and someone will be called an asshole and a dip shit and you have no idea what you're talking about. then there will be 12 different papers cited on studies that have been done on boxers and studies that have been done on briefs and what's the testicular support out of this one and that one and you know what I mean do you want do you want my opinion yeah what are we doing yeah so we couldn't have when when my wife and I were trying to have kids we went like I don't know eight months where we you know we're having a lot of fun but we haven't ain't have any kids
Starting point is 00:17:20 going to the doctor and he goes what type underwear do you wear and I'm like I don't know, like boxers. He's like, no more. Take them off and don't wear anything. You're going Commando. And I'm like, all right. And we were, we had a kid like two weeks. Make sure the wife heard that right. Hey, he said Commando. He said it. Two weeks later, we were pregnant. And every time we went to have a kid, that's what I did. I was like, nope, no underwear now. It's Commando, baby. And it worked like a church. Every time. That's, that's all it is. Have you wrote a paper on it? No, I haven't. But I'm sure I could find that 10 that would confirm what I'm talking about. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you should definitely write a paper, cite a paper, and then
Starting point is 00:17:58 get a debate going on on it, yeah, for sure. Going back to Vance Crow, what was cool what I wrote about, wrote down was, I had a listener tell me, I mentioned you were coming back on. And they said, you know, it's funny. Last time you guys talked, it sounded like it was wearing on, on, on you, on every Monday. That was kind of the feeling he got. And that was, I'm forgetting the time. I want to say,
Starting point is 00:18:25 like, I don't know, let's call it November. And you were just on his podcast and you talked about internal happiness and your Christmas Carol started to take the pressure off and you started to share your internal happiness. And I wrote that down.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I'm like, ah, that's cool. Because I think I felt similar things on this end of it where you'd, kind of it gets hard. I'm a consistency guy, which means every, you know this. Tonight I'm going to be up super late making sure it gets out for Wednesday. Getting this done and getting ready for Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Yeah. That's right. Yeah. And I got like, like I got a lot of respect for you for doing that because it takes a lot. It takes a lot to put all this stuff together. And like we said on this podcast as well, like it's not just, you don't just push the button and go. Like, I mean, with you, I mean, you're doing how much editing, mess it around and uploading and how many different platforms that you put your podcast on.
Starting point is 00:19:17 and everything. It's just you're going to do your pre-roll into it and then your outro and everything. And I mean, and edit it all your sound and everything. Like, it all takes so much time, right? And like, same with mine. Like, when you're putting stuff up, like, I mean, some of these predictions that put together like 200 clips of me in a bunch of random places or whatever. And yeah, it was absolutely starting to wear on me.
Starting point is 00:19:41 You know, and it's like this, yeah, this is maybe a really good topic to talk about here. because if you get listeners that are listening to, I think the thing that's changed for me now, because we've talked about this before with my previous career in the oil field, is like I was stressed 24 hours a day and like waking up in the middle of the night, stressed and like crazy amounts of stress going on to the point where it's making me unhealthy. And I didn't realize it until it was almost a little bit too late. Like we talked, my dad had helped me recognize when you need to find these things. at this point in time, I'd set a goal for myself that I was going to upload every Monday
Starting point is 00:20:15 for one year. And when I was getting right into the end of it, I had talked to several of my friends and family members and people that I see every day. And I was like, this is getting tough and I fully recognize it right now. And I was like, I'm still going to do it. But then after I do it, like, I'm going to be taking a break from it because like it was actually a really good feeling, being able to step back and look at it, being like, you know what, I think I'm slowly identifying my own mental problems or what I had going on or how I have to handle situations. And Quick Dick McDick has helped me do that. And it's kind of verified the fact that I can recognize that in myself now.
Starting point is 00:20:59 And I wish that I could give that power to other people because it's, it's the most important part of diving into mental health is recognizing when you have a problem coming. And that's impossible for 99% of people to be able to recognize that they are causing themselves their own problem. It's like it's really tough. And I think, yeah, and when when I did that Christmas carol, like a big weight had been lifted off my shoulders. And then all of a sudden it was just like I was happy again. I was like, ah, shit, I can't leave everyone out of a Christmas carol. You know what I mean and since then I've just kind of been putting them up when like when I'm ready for it and when I feel like it and and I've been having a little more fun with it so that's that's a good thing too right
Starting point is 00:21:43 well I uh the reason yeah like I think it's really cool what you just said and I and I and I well once again I wrote it down because when I when I heard it you say it I was like wow that's like really cool and I've said this before on the podcast like at one point I was releasing five every two weeks. And so and the thing is, isn't that I, I don't enjoy doing it. I, I would love to do more, but people got to remember. You talk about all the editing, but then you, then you got a place in the family and the, uh, work and everything else. And I was having, uh, I was starting to have the problem with, um, I'd come home and I'd be walking back out the door again and my my four-year-old's going dad you going to work nope going to podcast yep i'm like
Starting point is 00:22:34 oh boy yeah right like that that's that's not good right like we got we got to curve that absolutely yeah and then yeah and then you like you you got to the thing that you got to struggle with that i don't is you got to line up guests and work with someone else's time and everything right i just i've got the luxury being able to just work out of my own time you know and whenever i'm ready i go and if i don't like it i can fix it or whatever and i don't got i don't got a kid running around me either, right? That's fair, but I guess I just look at, uh, we all got our, we all got our thing. We all got our things that are good and bad and, and, uh, it's just cool that people can recognize that because what I did was I committed to doing five every, uh, two weeks for three months,
Starting point is 00:23:16 just three months. And if it wasn't working, I was going to pull back. And so I got to pull back. It was the best thing I ever did. Because now I'm like, yeah, geez. And now I'm doing all these archive interviews and I told you last time you're on, you know, I'm getting to sit down with, you know, nine year olds. Well, now I've interviewed a 98 year old. That's so awesome, man. Yeah, that's, oh, I'm like halfway through that one right now. Uh, but like, the beamish is the honey wagon, man. Have you made it to the honey wagon? Yeah. Oh, absolutely. But like, that's a, that's a classic, like, Western thing. And they actually, they just, they just took the honey wagon out of Tophil three weeks ago. Like, that's how they were running up until through
Starting point is 00:23:55 No, I'm just kidding, that. For the listener who doesn't know, the honey wagon was how, instead of having the shit truck come around and suck out your septic tank, they had a horse pulled wagon called the honey wagon. Well, and you can imagine where I'm going with this. Yeah, but this wasn't like a, like right now the septic truck maybe comes once, maybe twice a year, depending on what your diet's like or whatever. That's not the case, but the honey wagon, like these guys, this was basically the, the early pioneer day shit truck.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Like, can you imagine having that job? And then go and spread it on the outside of town. Can you imagine when the wind blew the wrong way? Oh, man. Yeah, it's like, it's a horrible pun, but talk about a shitty job. Like, I mean, that's just what a terrible job. But it's like that's kind of one of the cool things. I mean, I love hearing stuff like that and looking back on times like that
Starting point is 00:24:52 because it shows us how far we've come. as humanity, right? And like that's kind of leading up into a lot of the work that I'm going to be heading into is that a lot of people have probably noticed. I've had a lot of people ask me actually, like, you haven't done anything political or any of this stuff lately kind of thing. And I'm just like, yeah, and it's been kind of a nice break from it. But right now with like with everything that's happening in the world,
Starting point is 00:25:17 kind of the last thing we really need is is a goofball, you know. I don't know goofball on the internet and I know people like I like I mean there's endless material out there for what you could do kind of thing but I mean just with the state of COVID-19 and quarantine and masking
Starting point is 00:25:36 and like everything that's happening right now combined on top of our government and the shape that the world's in I kind of took a stance a little bit here to just like to just try and just put funny stuff out that has nothing to do with anything because I guess my biggest goal right now is to try and provide people and escape from from the world of what's happening.
Starting point is 00:25:58 It's important to be able to laugh at some of the stuff that's going on, but some of it's really not a laughing matter. And that's kind of why I've done nothing to do with COVID on any of my videos or anything because not a laughing matter. It's very serious. And like we just need to get to the point where we have economies open again. We have people functioning normal lives. I mean, whether people want to talk about isolations and masks and.
Starting point is 00:26:20 PCR tests and everything. I will not talk about it on any of my videos. We are just going to try and just shut our brains off and laugh at a goofball in Saskatchewan for a little while, right? And anything I do wind up doing that's kind of energy slash agricultural slash political related is it's going to be just in a little bit different of a tone. But I'm pretty pumped up with the new one that I'll have coming up. It's probably not going to be next week, but it'll be the week after.
Starting point is 00:26:47 But yeah, it's just a lot to do with this whole oil. oil is dead, garbage that's floating around the world right now that we just really, really need to get people's minds changed on what's happening with energy in the world. Energy and agriculture specifically because it's frightening what's happening and how quickly people are trying to act on a lot of these things with green energy and regenerative farming and a lot of different ideas. And there's good parts to a lot of them and there's detrimental parts to a lot of them. and there's detrimental parts to a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:27:20 And it's important that we consider all parts when we're making decisions of whether we're going to ban pesticides and fertilizers and GMOs and stop producing oil and gas and everything. It's a lot of people that are calling for a lot of this action really don't know what they're asking for. And that's kind of what I've said all along, even if you go all the way back to the protester diets video that I did. But it needs to be.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Somehow I have to come across the effort on my videos to talk to people. Because a lot of people that need to hear what I'd like them to hear will stop listening after the first couple of minutes because they're so offended that they can't watch anymore. And the rest of us that have one or two feelings that kind of can't be hurt and a sense of humor will watch to the end and be like, hey, that was great, man. You know what I mean? But there's lots of people that can't watch this stuff right to the end because they get
Starting point is 00:28:12 offended and upset right away, right? what you're talking about is trying to change the way you talk about it to try and change the opposition's mind is that what you're saying and i'm not saying that that everyone should have their mind changed or that i need to change the opposition's mind uh it just needs to come it it it just needs to come across in a way that they will listen and just at least understand the other side of the argument uh i was going to hop I was going to say, not to change their mind, to get them to the discussion table, to stop yelling at each other and try and bridge that gap, right?
Starting point is 00:28:51 Because if you can start to have the discussion, I'm trying to do, I'm trying to do more of where it's not somebody who agrees identically with me, right? To have Qie on, to have Quick on thousand times. It would be a lot of fun. but we're basically on the same page on, I would say 85% of things. I'm sure there's something laying out in the weeds that can set us both off. But for the most part,
Starting point is 00:29:21 we got to find a way to get stuff where, where do we get this stuff when I can flip a table and disagree with you and throw something across the room? Like, we haven't done that yet. We're not really having much fun here. Well, I know, I know one that you'll, wow,
Starting point is 00:29:34 there's a couple that I think we not disagree on because I, but I could think of a couple, sure. Yeah. Oh, that's, hey, no, that's, that's good. I mean, I like having different opinions and somebody else and people that are a conversation, but yeah, like you're talking, it's, it just, it just needs to come to a point where,
Starting point is 00:29:51 where people need to be able to have a conversation, a debate, and a debate is something where, I mean, you, it's very useful. Yeah, you let each other talk. You each make your points. You don't even have to go away, you know, believing the other person's side or thinking that you've changed somebody, but she'd be like, you know what,
Starting point is 00:30:06 that was a good conversation. and I'd say like a successful debate with somebody is when both opponents maybe go away, not agreeing with each other, but both opponents go away with the points that their opponent had made in their mind and use that critically when they're thinking about that issue next time they visit it and be like, well, you know, this guy had this, this and this point to make on that. And I can see, yeah, I can see how that would work here right now, you know. It doesn't mean you have to believe in it, but you can respect it, right? Well, on the thing, I was, I listened to, I hadn't listened to Joe Rogan in a long time because he went to Spotify and I don't know why that's weird for me, but something to do with, with, with, uh, with, uh, him switching platforms. I got no reason other than it's, it's changed. I'm sure it has something to do with money, but that's just me talking. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:55 No, I know why he did it, but I don't know why I didn't follow along, but I just listened to him and God, I'm forgetting his name now. Ari Glasser. You ever heard that name? No, it doesn't ring a bell. Ari Glasser is a, I'll read the thing to you. Because I think this is a good one for everyone to listen to. He is a former director of the American Civil Liberties Union and a lifelong defender of every citizen's right to free speech.
Starting point is 00:31:26 And he's a subject to a documentary in 2020 called Mighty Ira. And he talks about defending the KKK. talks about defending people against abortion, like that are saying some pretty horrendous things. And he says you need to protect everyone's free speech because as soon as you start limiting somebody what they can say, who's to say it can't come back on you? And now it's me that wants to shut down what I think is bad.
Starting point is 00:31:56 And then somebody else wants to shut down what they think is bad. And hell, we all know that you go between Alberta, Saskatchew, one there's going to be people disagree, let alone Alberta or Saskatchewan to the East Coast. Yeah. And I talked about defending. I have people with Saskatchewan disagree with me all the time. That's right. I promise you that.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Yeah. And he talks about defending the KKK. Imagine this. He has a story in there selling Joe Rogan right now, but he has a story in there of defending the Nazis getting to march in a hometown of a guy who survived was, I think he said prisoner eight something like that of the holocaust and that guy and they they talked about it he talks about that and like can you imagine trying to justify that they get to walk and like but when them ended up happening the guy that was the holocaust survivor had 60,000 people show up for him
Starting point is 00:32:51 in the KKK in March actually they ran with their tails tucked between the likes and he's right I admire what you're trying to do I guess is all I'm getting at in the longabout way because there is something very beneficial in hearing things you don't like because it helps you formulate your arguments against. Why don't I like that? Right? Like maybe I need to do some digging and get some better speech here so I can defend myself against it. Yeah, that's that's something you really find in a lot of things that happen. You know, you see it a lot on social media, but like with people in real life as well, or even someone that's just trying to defend an opinion that they have they have an opinion, but they don't know why they have that opinion.
Starting point is 00:33:31 They just have it and they're sticking with it. Well, I don't have a lot of respect for somebody that's just like, well, I just don't agree with it. Well, why? Like, why don't you agree with it? It's just because it's something you heard or it's because somebody else's opinion that they don't agree with it. I mean, you can say that too, but you can say, well, I haven't really looked into it and
Starting point is 00:33:48 this is what I think kind of thing, right? And that's where, like, I've always said, I actually went back and looked. and I've always said in all my videos that I like I'm not a complete I'm not a complete bastardizer of green energy and green technology and anything there's a there's a there's a place for all of this stuff it's just you know I I've I'm getting to the point where I've done quite a substantial amount of research and actually talk to a lot of different companies and everything that are that are working with this technology and a few different things and now to the point where I'm going to
Starting point is 00:34:25 to be going to a few guys farms that have some of these installed. And it just, it boils down to, yeah, we just, we need to work at polluting less, but we still need fossil fuels and steady, base load power to survive. And you don't get that with renewables, but that doesn't mean that we should cancel renewables. But at the same time, it doesn't mean that we should cancel fossil fuels either. You know what I mean? There's a, there's a little world where we can all work together and understand that when we do all this different kind of energy, we're still making a carbon footprint, whether it's solar panels or wind or nuclear. I mean, we're going to pollute no matter what we do to live on this earth. It's just a matter of doing better and trying to control it and making sure that
Starting point is 00:35:08 we can all affordably live and eat. Like, you have to take all these into consideration. You can't just say, I love solar because somebody said it's green energy and that's what the world needs to go to an oil is dead. Well, do you say that? There's so many of us are dead without oil and gas is the thing. You know, it's just, but like, how do you get that message across to somebody, right? The word you're looking for is balance, I want to say. There's a balanced approach to it. You know, we were talking about this on the weekend and that I don't disagree with anything he just said. And I think there's a lot of rat. This is where we need. This is why, you know, I need to have somebody on that we can both yell at. or you can yell at me and I can yell at you.
Starting point is 00:35:54 That makes for interesting radio and said, yeah, I totally agree. But we're having the- You know what, let's just stop for two seconds. And I'm just, Sean, would you quit being such an asshole? Yeah, you're a dick, all right? There's it. There's it.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I can't. Let's go on. We were having the conversation of if we had a, you know, I know that you have your words about Trudeau. I just, I just, I can't fall. Like, he's hard to fall. He's not a great leader.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Like, he just doesn't inspire. And we were saying, like, quite nice to him. Yeah, that's right. We were saying, like, if you want to reduce our footprint and you want to curb pollution and you want to, you want to, you want to, I think a thing that, that would, and maybe I'm wrong on this, and I'd love your opinion on it, is as a leader, couldn't you go, listen, we need to do things that are better for the world long term. And what we're going to do is we're going to take a healthy dose of the free money that's going around. And instead of do that, put it in our economy, use our economy to develop the things
Starting point is 00:37:02 that can save the world and then implement them to every other country. And now you could probably unite an entire country around solving the world's problem instead of, I don't know what we're doing. We're just trying to shut everything down so we don't move. Yeah. And I think, I think Keystone XL was a, was a very good example of something that would, that would help everybody and was headed towards some new technologies and environmental standards. Not only being carbon neutral and or negative the moment that it was turned on, but also having a plan to operate the pipeline by using renewables by wind and solar was the last plan for Keyeson. don't excel, but it didn't matter in anybody. They just shut it down, right? But we absolutely need to do that.
Starting point is 00:37:48 And like, I'll, I'm, I'll give them shoutouts all the time, but it's the best way I've ever heard it said. And Brad Wall was being interviewed not long ago. Actually, this might have been almost a year ago. And the reporter that was doing it was trying to pin him into a corner saying, shouldn't we be a leader in green technology or whatever? And I mean, Brad said it best. He just said, I think we should be a leader in all of it. We already are a world. world-class leader in oil and gas extraction. We have some of the strictest environmental regulations on the planet. We're one of the top exporters on the planet.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Why don't we kick that into overdrive and keep showing everybody how we use carbon capture technology and all these different things that we do here in Canada. The environmental process just to get a pipeline approved or to get oil and gas lease approved is insane. And that's why there's so many people that won't invest in our energy industry in Canada. because it's so uncertain. But there are people here that will do it because they know once they get past that regulatory standard that's set, this is a good place to do business.
Starting point is 00:38:53 And we have good labor laws and we care about our environment and the people that work in it. And why can't, like you say, why can't we do that same thing and incorporate some green energy with it? And that's where you see a lot of these green technologies. I was talking with a lady from Sundance Construction. out of Kimley, Manitoba, who is lighting the world on fire with how she is building, not literally lighting it on fire, but how she's building, she's got some Norwegian designs going on.
Starting point is 00:39:28 She's a Métis lady. And they are building entire housing developments. And they are doing it using specific designs, even the pitch of your house on the way that your windows point when the sun is shining in the summer on the tilt to the earth axis so that you don't have to use as much air conditioning or no air conditioning whatsoever. They've got solar and wind combined. They've got some real cutting edge technology with their sewage systems and everything. And they're doing some very heavy insulating on the house. They're using high efficiency natural gas. And she basically brings everything together.
Starting point is 00:40:03 And they make as low of a footprint as possible and don't really take away much for standards a living and design a house where you get a lot of people that have the big loft at ceilings and a four car garage and everything and they got themselves and two kids running around but like they're realistic about what they're building and uh and she even says it's just like you're like you are tied in to manitoba hydro because you need base load power but when you have sun and wind blowing and everything can work then you put the power that you're using back into the grid, right? But people that want to live off this stuff and just do it off battery storage and capacitors and things like that are, it doesn't work. I mean, what's the temperature been
Starting point is 00:40:46 in Lloyd over the last week? You know, every time it hit minus 40 and I couldn't feel my ball sack, I think of QBM and go, here's a funny video because it is like, but you know what? And saying that, when it hits minus 40, I go, man, I'm thankful to live where I do. I know that sounds bizarre to probably anyone in warmer climates, but when it gets cold around here, I just like, what we have here is special. Like really,
Starting point is 00:41:16 really special. Yeah, it really is, man. And that's like, I guess getting back to the, to the point of what we were trying to make there is that's like, like how Sundance construction is building some of these things.
Starting point is 00:41:26 That's like, that's how we need to look going forward. Yeah. And, and retrofit and make things better and use less fossil fuels by using renewable technology while using renewable technology. While using renewable technology. with the mindset that green doesn't mean I'm not making a carbon footprint.
Starting point is 00:41:42 I needed cobalt and I needed all these different things to make my solar panels and to and to make these big huge wind turbines that so far we can't recycle. We just bury when their life cycle is done. And the amount of concrete and steel and trucking capacity and cranes that it takes to get all this stuff out and get it set up, we can't be delusional to the point of saying, well, it's just zero emissions. that's why you have to switch over to that technology. Well, it's not.
Starting point is 00:42:09 And then in 20 to 30 years, when your solar panels are done, you got to replace them. We got to have a plan in place of what we're going to do with what we have right now to be environmentally be environmentally responsible when we dispose of them. And then we have to have on our heads that we have to reabsorb that cost to replace those panels and to replace our wind turbines and everything. So like that's something that never goes away either. So you, sir, sound like a politician. Are you going into politics?
Starting point is 00:42:38 No, no, I'm no, I'm not in any way, shape, or form. You can't have a guy that has YouTube videos that say, keep your yard and your old lady plowed. You can't really have a guy like that going to politics, John. Okay, well, then I'll put it to you this way. You seem more reserved, and I would use the word mature on this episode, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I mean that in a very, like, you've done a ton of research,
Starting point is 00:43:05 sounds of it. Yeah. It sounds like you have a bit of a plan. Well, a big part of it and like what we've been talking about is you like you really need to look at at things from your adversary's side to to be able to understand. And like I say, you don't have to agree with it, but you have to understand why they're coming to it. And there's there's parts if you put yourselves into a person's shoes that's trying to advocate for all these things, you're going to be like I like I get what you're talking about here. You want to pollute less. And that's why I try and not get hung up on this whole climate change hysteria that's going on out there because I mean and that's why I get really upset with this thing where recently you hear an article or read an article that says that the prairies are
Starting point is 00:43:46 warming three times faster than anywhere else on the planet okay they're warming three times faster is what we're told right so I'm like okay hold on I was told that this wasn't a global warming thing that it's climate change thing so okay they're warming three times faster than anywhere else on the planet, prairies of Canada, right? So now here we are consecutively for how many days is the coldest place in the world. And now we're being told, no, it's climate change because that's extreme weather that you're experiencing. And that's what climate change is. And then I got another three or four different jack wagons that are trolling me all over the place that are like, oh, well, January was five degrees above normal for the entire month. And now if you take the last two weeks of
Starting point is 00:44:34 weather that we've had here and average that and tag February on to January. Well, now all of a sudden we're below average in both months. So like, like how far back and forth do you want to go with this before you're just like, okay, the weather's kind of the weather. And that's what it's going to be. There's going to be years where it is going to be dry. There's going to be years where it's going to be hot. There's going to be years where you get hailed out. There's going to be, come on. How many winters have I been through that I can remember where I have been outside in a T-shirt playing soccer with my brother? And then there's been winters where you are digging snow tunnels in the ditch that's three feet above your head.
Starting point is 00:45:08 And you talk to a lot of old farmers that'll tell you a whole bunch of different stories about years and years gone by. And that's why, like, I try not to jump on the climate change bandwagon. And I'd rather be on the bandwagon of let's pollute less. Like, that's something that everybody can get on board with, you know, like, let's just, let's pollute less. I can get on board with that. We're already doing it with combustion vehicles.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Like we have seen a drastic drop since the 70s in carbon emissions from vehicles. It's not because we've taken vehicles off the road. It's because we've got smarter. It's what humans do. We got smarter and we've adapted and we have changed how we burn fuel in our vehicles and we are being more responsible about it. So it's just pollute less. Let's do better.
Starting point is 00:45:57 And the only way that I will reach any of these people, which I've said from the beginning when I started doing this, quick-day stuff is I just, I want people to know what's happening. We get this whole big crew of alarmists that are trying to get rid of herds of cattle. And now you have extensive studies coming out showing that cattle are probably one of the best carbon capture devices that exist in the prairies, right? So you've just got all this different stuff coming at you. And typically, it's coming from people that live urban, that believe that there's, steak comes from a grocery store shelf still, you know? So that's a, that's a wall. We really need to
Starting point is 00:46:41 get figured out how to break down to get people to understand. And still to this day, I'm shocked to people that message me from some of the kids stuff that I've done. It's been their parents that message me, be like, I had no idea that's where Oaks came from. We talked about the kid videos last time. Yeah, man. And I'm like, wow. Speaking of which is, yeah, there's more of those coming up too. It's just, uh, it's taken a little time and now, spoiler alert, I'm waiting for calving season, which is only a couple weeks away because I got most of the other footage that I need for it. You, you probably know where this is headed, eh? There's, there's going to be a parental warning off the start. That's awesome. I cannot wait for that. Yeah, but like, like, really,
Starting point is 00:47:23 though, like, and that's what I think's important to do with a lot of this stuff is that, and that's why I've been doing so much research into this energy one that I have coming up is because, like, I wanted to include everyone because there's some research that that guys like you and I need to see. I've needed to see what I saw because same thing. I was very polarized and had my mind shut off to green energy and electric cars and everything. Now, I'm not saying that I agree with any of them, but I am going to bring to the table the good sides of the argument to it because that's, as far as I'm concerned as fair. I'm reading.
Starting point is 00:47:59 That's what I should be. I'm reading Close Schwab's book right now. Oh, really? Are you? Yeah. How's that going? Well, you know who Close Schwab is then, obviously? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:11 For the listener, he is the head of the world economic forum. World. Geez, I should know that, right? That's correct. Yeah. And he's a big proponent of exactly what the governments are doing. with how much money they're spending. He, the great reset, right?
Starting point is 00:48:30 Yep, the great reason. Well, his books, COVID-19, the great reset. And I went, I guess you just read it, right? It goes back to everything I've tried telling myself since I started this. And I just see it in you right now a lot is, is do your own research. Be your own judge of the, right? Like, it's easy to see a headline and just get absolutely torn apart by it. Like, this is.
Starting point is 00:48:56 What are we? doing right it's happened to me motion is a crazy little thing and it really is yeah and i heard you guys talked the last episode of with van with with with uh with vance was um about the social dilemma and and if you haven't watched that yeah oh yeah like you haven't if a listener has not watched that or a viewer's not watch that you need to like shut this off and go watch that that's way more important than what we're talking about because it'll fill you in on a lot of things because totally is there's so there's there's a few things on there that I was that I was like okay yeah I get it kind of thing and like that's another thing I
Starting point is 00:49:31 I guess the funny thing about the social dilemma is is a documentary that is on Netflix right yeah and something you really got to be careful of is is documentaries that they allow to go on Netflix and a few different things there's another one out there called kiss the ground um and that's narrated by Woody Harrelson and it goes through regenerative farming um and I was a little bit shocked on that one because I personally, and I mean, I'm going off of myself and a group of my peers that are much, much smarter and better at agriculture than I ever am, ever will be. I learn 10 things a day from these guys because everybody does know. I mean, I'm not, I mean, I haven't been in the seat of a tractor since I was four years old. I mean, I got a lot of oil
Starting point is 00:50:16 field, a trucking experience, cattle experience. I've just kind of been all over the place. I'm no professional at agriculture, right? But there's some of the things in this kiss the ground one that's showing that glyphosates and herbicides and pesticides and GMOs and fertilizers are all killing the world and we're going to turn the planet into a desert kind of thing. I think I think is what they were headed for there. And they do some crafty camera work when they're showing one guy that's farming versus his neighbor that's farming that's farming that's using glyphosates. and then he's using pigs and chickens and a bunch of different things to sequester carb in his land and everything. And I would caution everybody that's watching that. There's a lot of farmers listening to this that, you know, that'll probably be like, no, we kind of caught that.
Starting point is 00:51:03 It's just that there's, you know, there's only so much arable land on planet Earth. And we have to grow X amount of food in that arable land to feed the world. Right. So you need X bushels per acre of arable land to be able to provide a growing population and growing food demand. in the world. And I'm not saying anything bad against organic farming. I know guys that organic farm around here. It's hard for them.
Starting point is 00:51:31 They work very hard at it. It's a roll of the dice. And there's guys out there that, there's guys out there that are honest about what they're getting for yields off their crops. And there's guys that aren't. And I mean, I work right around a few of them, right around the toughnale area here and i know what they are and these guys put a lot of work into
Starting point is 00:51:55 this and uh it's just we need so many bushels an acre and that's basically the end of the story like like there's just it's it's cool and i love the idea regenerative farming and soil health and everything but that's why we have inputs that we put into everything that we do is is to keep our soil healthy and to keep crops growing and uh yes there's a carbon footprint to that as well so It kind of circles back to we're going to pollute to live. It's unless we go back to one family living on one quarter section everywhere across the entire country of Canada. And everybody goes in with their two or three chickens a year to the farmer's market and sells them to people or whatever. Like we need mass food production because we all have to live, right?
Starting point is 00:52:41 98 years ago, the 98 year old I interviewed said, what do you remember about the 20s? and he said the only thing I can remember and he was, you know, pretty he had to think about it. Obviously, it's 98 years ago, or I mean 90 years ago, whatever. He said for probably the first 10 to 15 years of his life, he doesn't remember money.
Starting point is 00:53:05 They sold cream and, uh, cream and, I think it was eggs. Cream eggs, milk to get anything they needed. Straight up. Yeah. Turned their car into something pulled by the horse because it just sat there and rustic because they didn't have money for gas. Money for gas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Yeah. And that's, I mean, we've come a long ways. And like even, yeah, just, just, I always go back to it. And I don't know why, but just look at your grocery stores. I'm not trying to plug co-op or anything like that. But like, I'm a big advocate of co-op grocery stores because. Great fruit. Great, great fruit.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Yeah. Like co-ops, a very, very good supporter of local businesses and made in Canada products. And I can only speak for Lloyd. I can't speak for all a co-op. They are big supporters of our elderly, like huge supporters of our elderly, which is super cool. That's, yeah, that's awesome. They're community supporters. And that's why I was, oh, man, we're sidetracking really hard here right now.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Did you hear what the city of Regina, the city council of Regina did? You know what I got written down? On Wednesday, the committee voted seven to four in favor of bringing forward changes that would put fossil fuels in the same light as tobacco, pot, and weapons. And Daniel LeBlanc Ward 6th counselor is the guy who still is pushing for it. But I do like Scott Moe's decision, a call of it saying that it was absurd. Yeah, man. Was pornography not included in that as well? This article didn't say pornography, but I have read one that did say it.
Starting point is 00:54:51 So I left it out because I was kind of like... Either way. I have never in my life heard something like that. Like I said, I get everyone's green movement and all this different things. But these are people that are trying to vilify oiling. gas companies and these people that are trying to vilify them, I just want you to go to your basement and tell me what's heating your house. That's it. Because if it's a house in the city of Regina, there's a really good chance that you're running on natural gas. The food, we just mentioned
Starting point is 00:55:35 co-op, if you were going down to your grocery store and you're going to buy food there, please tell me you walked or rode or bike. Don't tell me you drove an electric car because if you drive an electric car, oil and gas is probably charging it in Saskatchew. And if you buy it from a temperature controlled grocery store, there's oil and gas that's powering that as well. And if you're buying an item off the shelf, it was oil and gas gas that brought it to you on a commercial truck. And it was oil and gas that produced it at the production facility. and it was oil and gas that planted it and harvested it out of the field. So it's just and I sound like a broken record when I do that stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:17 But I mean, and I get if people want to be like we want to promote and help green companies advertise better, I get that. But to vilify oil and gas companies is it's just I couldn't believe it. I could not believe. And the fact that it was seven to four, I was just like, are we serious right now? could you imagine being being a kid of a dad who works at FCL refinery in Regina? He's like, dad, do you think, do you think you guys could sponsor my hockey?
Starting point is 00:56:50 Sorry, no, hockey teams that wouldn't have affected because it was just city of Regina advertising. But let's say it was a kid trying to get sponsorship that was going to go on a city of Regina building or something like that. And you would have to tell your kid, no, I can't because,
Starting point is 00:57:05 because FCL is not allowed to advertise on city property. And the kid would go, well, why? Be like, well, because they think oil and gas is bad. The job that puts food on your table, that puts the roof over your head, that heats your house that dad works tirelessly at to make it all happen, I guess is just the same as a pot shop. How is this the thing? Like, yeah, I couldn't believe it, man. But like, that's the side of people that we really need to try and bring a little bit back to the center of the game. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:57:41 because they're just so lost in this, in this whole debacle. I, uh, I don't even know if I can say anything. I, to be honest, for it to happen in Saskatchew and blew me away. I really did. I was like, this is, dad showed me it. Dad showed me, I was like, what now? Like, that sounds like it's some false news thing going on, right? Nope.
Starting point is 00:58:03 That is definitely, you know. I thought, I thought that it was, yeah, it was misprinted and then it was supposed to say Gatno, Quebec. or something like that, right? Or that it was clickbait, right? You click on it and... Yeah, and you get to a porn site and everything. That, oh, that happens to you too, right?
Starting point is 00:58:20 Yeah. Just checking, yeah. Awkward. But yeah, so it's crazy. And that's, yeah, so that's, man, in a nutshell, that's kind of where things are headed a little bit. So you're... If I caught that right, then, off everything that's been said,
Starting point is 00:58:38 you're trying to get into a way of helping bring the other side to the discussion table. Yeah. Because that is the only way we move forward where we don't do silly things. And we both want similar things. But part of the conversation needs to be that understanding that oil and gas is going to be here for a while. I can't sit here and say it's always going to be here. just not of the capacity that we use it. And I mean,
Starting point is 00:59:12 you should never say always and you should never say never, right? Is something that I've learned in my life. So yes, we're going to keep working towards technologies that's, that's going to carry us away from it. But yeah, and anything even farm and food related right now, I mean,
Starting point is 00:59:30 we're, we are decades upon decades away from moving away from oil and gas. Am I just picking. And that's how we eat. Am I just going nuts here? Am I picking up on you either have a job somewhere, you're going to be representing something, you're just releasing the same stuff?
Starting point is 00:59:50 Yeah, no, like, I'm just going to keep doing my thing. I'm not representing anybody. Nobody pays me to do any of this shit. Like, nothing. I'm just doing my thing, man. This is still a straight-up side hustle that I'm working here. If you want to call it a side hustle. I'm waiting for like the the Pepsi logo in the background, eh?
Starting point is 01:00:10 No, man. The QDM circles got the blue and. Oh, D's has been getting a free run here, I guess. I never noticed that until you said it. Hey, thanks, Kail, for printing my sign and for making my hats, I guess. But no, man, no, no, no, side hustle, no, nothing. No, no, no. Hey, I want to be very clear.
Starting point is 01:00:31 You just, you have a different vibe tonight. It's not a bad vibe. It seems like a more focused. Like you got something in the works and you've thought about it a lot. You've obviously done a lot of research and you're like, no, this is where it's going and this is what I'm trying to do. Yeah. Well, and like I'm not going to see that every production is going to go that way.
Starting point is 01:00:54 I'm saying that I will be doing one production. Maybe it's going to be a little bit of an experiment too because like just the same as is there's some very, very, very far. I it makes me want to puk using the words left and right I agree but I'm going to use them for an example there's some people that are on the very very very far left end of the spectrums people that are on the very very very far right end of the spectrum and I I think that I have people on the far right end of the spectrum that follow me a lot closer than people on the left end of the spectrum do or whatever and I mean I could I could continue to just put stuff up that's going to bash churdo which I
Starting point is 01:01:32 promise you I will because he will be bashed until he's out of power and then long thereafter because I am not done with that guy because I can't stand. And I think he has a horrible job at running the country and I think he's a disgusting human being, but that's just me. My wife, who's an American, is driving home from Lashburn or before she drove home from Lashburn. It's minus whatever outside. The wind's howling and she sends me. It's so cold in Canada. we think we saw Trudeau with his hands in his own pockets. Oh, I love her. God bless her, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:11 I see why you married her. Yeah, that's all good. Not really that guy is a mule, but no, it's just I would hope and like I, and there's going to be some people. I'll lose some followers over it maybe. I'm not sure, but like I would hope that people are going to watch my stuff and watch it to the end. and a part of this is going to be like, hey, Greenies, you guys need to come this way a little bit.
Starting point is 01:02:38 But it's also going to grab that guy that post videos of himself just rolling a five-inch stack of coal out of his HD jacked-up Durhamax on Snapchat with a insignia on it called Fuck You Greta or whatever. I want to talk to those guys too because as long as we've got people that are on all these different. ends of the spectrum or whatever. I'm not saying that I haven't done that in my life. I'm not going to say I'm some kind of an angel because everyone would know that I was full of shit. But I just, I just want, yeah, man, I just want people to talk a little bit better about what's going on. And I still think that no matter what you put up, you're like, I'm still going to bash things that happen in the news and politics and everything. There's a lot of people that watch me for that, right? But I hope that in the last little while that people have seen that there's another side to me that doesn't just have to be politics or or riding on the current news events or stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:03:41 And like that was kind of a bigger thing. When I put that song Nippy out, I was like, yeah, how do you think this is going to go? I'm wondering right now what your next follow up single is to Nippy myself. Well, it's funny. I've had a lot of people ask that. I'm like, you know what? Like, that's definitely a direction you could take some of this stuff in. You know what?
Starting point is 01:04:02 Another one I had fun doing was that, like, it's just those short, short quick dick, big ticks that I put on, like, Facebook, Twitter and all that stuff. But that one called Some Bitch. Like, I had fun making that, man, because it doesn't take me that long to make them. And, like, it's real true, grit, real life stuff, you know? And I think that shit's fun, man. I really do. my i got a lot of favorites but i still love because i
Starting point is 01:04:26 nice and i so i had a podcast about three four ago where uh um had two guys on from town and uh i was very fired up that night i must have dropped i apologized at the start of the podcast like i i probably dropped a hundred f bombs like i was just i was fired up so you were saucy I was saucy. And my mom called. And every time all I'm going with this, every time you go, sorry, Mom. I'm like, God dang, if I don't say that all the time, because, you know, if I drop one F Bob, I'm getting a phone call, which, you know, I love you, Mom. So you should.
Starting point is 01:05:08 We love you, moms. Thank you for taking care of us. And putting up with our shit, right? Do you want to, you know what? Let's take a break and let's talk about a funny mom story here. Okay, sure. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:05:20 So I was super, super hungover the other day, like, like exponentially hung over, which is kind of hilarious. Because that like, so with COVID restrictions right now, I am, I'm confined in my workplace, which is the bar our ranch. And I have one cohort because I'm a single guy or one household that I can go to, which obviously is my parents, which are out in Tofno. And so I just got. we had a bad day, broke a glass door on the 7520 because the wind ripped the bastard off. And it was one of those days. And when the day was over, there's several vodka's put down the hatch. Choose a rough day the next day.
Starting point is 01:06:06 But last summer, when we did the garden, we talked about the garden and canning. You and I've talked about this before. We're going to do something called salsa Sunday with my mom. Just get all these frozen tomatoes and we're going to make salsa. I managed to drag my ass out of bed and I go out there and I am hurting bad to the point. And guess what my job is? It's like I'm a kid again. You get the shittiest job when you get out there.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Like I figured maybe I could run the pots and spice stuff and everything. No, my job is to peel fucking tomatoes. What kind of a bullshit job is peeling tomatoes? I don't even know you could peel tomatoes. Well, I'll tell you when they're frozen, you scald them. you basically peel the skin off them and then core them and then you chop them and you put them in the salsa or whatever and then you boil them. I got to the point where I was leaning on the kitchen sink. One tomato at a time considering vomiting into the sink.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Like I was in rough shape, man. And she won't say anything, right? Because that would mean she would be assuming something, right? She'll never assume anything. She'll always just get the straight kids. Well, the old man comes in. It's about it's like three in the afternoon now. And like, I've been suffering through like four hours of salsa making, which honestly,
Starting point is 01:07:23 I learned a kick-ass salsa recipe, obviously for mom, who's a veteran at it. QDM salsa coming at you soon. Yeah, we'll maybe have a cooking with quick dick episode come on. I can't get her to do a cooking episode with me because she won't let me put her face in it. But anyways, BMA comes in from the yard. He's plowing the yard. BMA comes in, walks up, looks at it. me pats me on the back looks like you need a Saskatchewan prairie fire i was like yes i do yes i do
Starting point is 01:07:55 absolutely he's like okay well Saskatchewan prairie fire is a great western pilsner clamato juice pickle juice tobasco roll it in a little bit a little bit of pepper in there and uh he fixed me like he cured me instantly on the spot with this belly bandaid and at this point and at this point in time now mom didn't have to that is a great man so at this point in time mom there's no more assumptions
Starting point is 01:08:28 and now she's mad at I knew it I knew you were hungover and you just wouldn't say it and you're just standing there you're suffering through all this stuff and you had to be drinking last night and da da da da da da and BMA is sitting back leave the boy alone he had a few drinks last night but
Starting point is 01:08:44 it wouldn't call me on it, not one bit. The old man comes in and he knows it and he doesn't even give a shit. He's just like, here, have a belly bandaid. You'll feel better. And he was right. We had several. I felt better instantly. God, I, I, belly bandaid. That is great. Oh, yeah, man. Hey, that's another Saskatchewan as me. You know what? There's another episode of what's that word. 100%. So I did what's that word? We did some bitch. And then what's that word? was nippy, which turned into a wrap.
Starting point is 01:09:16 So we got to do what's that word belly bandaid. And I actually, right before we hopped on here, I was actually just finishing off another, what's that word? What's the word? The word is windy today. Windy today. Windy today.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Got a few examples of windy today. You know, I don't know if my mom loves me telling stories about her, but I love my mother. So I hope by me saying, I hope by saying I love her multiple times, she won't get offended when after the episode where I dropped way too many F bombs. I even knew I dropped way too many F bombs. She called me and was giving me the gears and said, what would Jesus think?
Starting point is 01:09:59 And I said, you know what, Mom? If Jesus was here right now and Trudeau was his leader, he'd say, what the fuck is wrong with that guy? And I didn't say what the fuck is wrong. I said he would have dropped an F bomb. and you know what she laughed for a quick second and then scolded me and I'm like I see I know you know I know yeah
Starting point is 01:10:20 you just got to get that little snicker out of him you don't have to hear him say it that's right that's right that was kind of that was that was kind of money yeah that man that guy really is a bum we're we're yeah we're headed for issues um I started referring to his cabinet as the as the as the cabinet patch kids
Starting point is 01:10:40 because it is literally like you're watching a fucking elementary school in Ottawa right now. And it's troubling. Like in a big thing. That's a great word. The reason why I was so fired up, that would have been like a week ago was because there was the list just kept growing with the people coming back from travel, right? They put in that rule after all the politicians get caught traveling. they put in the rule of, you know, these isolation hotels, and then you just start seeing the video after video,
Starting point is 01:11:19 after video of all these people. I'm going like, this is, it does not help that I'm reading, you know, reading the Gulegg archipelago right now, which is all about Russia and, man, there's some eerie things in there to where our society is at right now, which I understand we're 100 years in advance, to where the Russia was at 100 years ago. And, uh,
Starting point is 01:11:40 I just, I find it, like, there's some things going on that are just troubling, like you say. Yeah. I think the bigger thing in, like, we saw his, I mean, there's, their polling is is, is starting to fall here now finally, but it took a, finally. It took an absolute and complete bastardized vaccine rollout to make it happen. But not the we scandal, not SNC level and, like, you got to, you got to understand. I tell you what, though, I'll say this to this, is everyone goes like free money, always just paying everyone off. It's not that. It's like in the scariest of scary times, nobody is complaining about not having enough money to get food or whatever else. And that,
Starting point is 01:12:26 for a long time, it feels like people were willing to overlook a lot. Not here because, I mean, man, we just keep getting kicked. Like every time you think you're getting up, they cancel another pipeline and you're like, yeah, man. Well, and we haven't even talked about, uh, what's the one under Lake, uh, Michigan? Line five. Embridge, right? Enbridge line five, man.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Yeah, that's, uh, I mean, that won't affect us. I mean, it will, but it not. Well, it will, it will, man, because that's, uh, that is still our oil and gas products that are going to eastern Canada by way of the United States of America. Like, it's, I, like, and that's like, and that's like, I feel like maybe that's kind of the reason that I'm, that I'm looking to change how I do some of these videos because you go back. Because it's not working.
Starting point is 01:13:17 These are all horses that I beat already. Like I've beat the carbon tax horse twice. I've beat pipelines so many times. Like, I mean, you just beat all this stuff all the time. And I'm not a guy that wants, there's a lot of people that are jumping on the train of just let them shut it down and and let Ontario and Quebec suffer.
Starting point is 01:13:35 And I'm like, why does it have to come to that? Like, why why does it have to come to that now don't get me wrong bma made sure that when i learned a lesson as a kid i learned it sorry mom the fucking hard way like he either set you up to fail and watched you fail but he was there to catch you all the time don't get me wrong here like i'm not saying that he was like he knew what he was doing when he was doing it whether it was giving you a chew of snuff to chew and swallow the juice or to smoke a cigarette and stuff like that you learned early what this
Starting point is 01:14:05 how terrible this shit is. But, like, why does it have to come to that? I just don't want it to, right? And to be honest, there shouldn't be any reason we're not a sovereign nation as Canada and that we can't power every province that we have and get our resources to every province that we have. There's no reason. And there's no reason we shouldn't be able to get any of our natural resources to 10
Starting point is 01:14:32 different ports on coastal waters to market it to the world. but you're talking about you're talking about dealing with reasonable not i don't think reasonable people i think if you flew over to talk to the common people i think there'd be a lot of people would be yeah but you're not and sometimes and sometimes it's and sometimes the worst has to happen and that's that's i think we all fear that i think every person sitting in the middle not on the extremes goes like this is what's this is what we're going to do like yeah this is a pretty serious scary little situation we got going here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:08 This is how it's going to. Yeah, it really is. But I mean, for the simple fact, another, you know, you know who a great guy to talk to about pipeline related events specifically? Have you ever ever gotten named Brian Zinchuk? Brian Zintchuk. Brian Zinchuk.
Starting point is 01:15:23 He used to write for pipeline news. And then pipeline news shut down. And now he's doing some political coverage. Did you go on his podcast? No, he doesn't have a podcast. He did an article with me. Oh, no, article. Article.
Starting point is 01:15:36 That's what I meant. Yeah. Yeah, I read it. That guy's very knowledgeable on the intricacies of pipeline systems in Canada and how they run into the U.S. And he's got some really neat theories on the diameter of the pipes different size and a lot of different stuff. But I mean, Enbridge has been through the vetting process for Energy East. They spent a billion dollars on it, you know, applying to get this pipevine done. Only a billion.
Starting point is 01:16:03 was yeah to eventually do the tune of Trudeau just saying no you can't do it right um but that was kind of the thing with this Keystone xl is i mean i think keystone's 36 it's either keystone's 36 and energy east was supposed to be 48 or vice versa 46 and uh or 36 and 48 the diameter is not quite right but apparently uh from what he was telling me which is some more stuff that i need to look into yet but where energy east stopped is still not too far past the point where you could still use it as kickoff to to roll into energy east, right? Something that there's a lot of the paperwork existing to be able to get done and that a company has invested a substantial amount of capital into for the pre-planning portion of it. And I just don't know why, well, I mean, I know why there's obviously a whole bunch of different companies that are funding. organizations to keep our energy from reaching our coastlines.
Starting point is 01:17:04 But it just, none of it makes sense. I just, I hate the fact that we're just going to, if line five shots, we're just going to ramp up shipments from Venezuela, Saudi, Russia,
Starting point is 01:17:16 US, everything's going to keep coming in. You're going to see a whole, guess who's going to suffer the worst? It's going to be the farming community that's in Ontario and Quebec that rely on propane to run their grain dryers. you know it's going to be airports it's going to be it's going to be all these things that people forget that we use and it's it's going to be a hard lesson now so like there's a few different
Starting point is 01:17:41 things going on to how much energy is supplied down south of the line from Ontario Quebec kind of thing too so there's some retaliations that we could take if line five is closed but I mean what why do we continue to fight like this instead of just being like I would have thought we have learned our lesson years and years ago just be like no you know what we're going to get ourselves self-sufficient like mr wall has said on on his amazing interview that i just can't retweet and like enough kind of thing is just that we just need to be leaders in all of it we need to show the world that this is what we can do and this is what we're going to do and we need to wrap up nuclear energy we need to do it here in the prairie provinces like everyone wants to keep moving towards this electric
Starting point is 01:18:25 car movement and everything, which batteries and electric cars, everything, they have a carbon footprint too. They're not, they're not the answer to the, to the prayers. And I'll tell you what, if I had an electric car in the weather that we've had over the last week, I would have been doing a lot of snowmobiling to get back and forth to where I needed to go. But like, until we just say, no, we're like, we're going to do this. So we're going to make it affordable for businesses, businesses to do business and produce products in Canada for Canadians. And once we're looked after, we're going to start shipping this stuff out to the rest of the world. And we're going to stop bringing products in from China.
Starting point is 01:19:04 Communist China, we are going to stop bringing products in from them. So then my question always comes back to, and I asked you this the first time we sat down. The first time being the one that never got aired, episode zero, because this guy was a moron. Episode zero. I love it. Yeah, yeah. For the listeners who don't know, a quick take of sat down four times. The first time, Sean didn't press record.
Starting point is 01:19:30 And so we talked to each other and got to know each other for nobody to know. Yeah, we had a good bullshit anyways. It was good, though, right? That's right. Yeah, man. Is why isn't Brad Wall in politics, son? Don't you need, don't, here, here's my question to you, don't you need to be, isn't the way to change what's going on being,
Starting point is 01:19:49 in politics? Yeah, it is to a certain extent, but I mean, I think the important thing for everybody to recognize, realize is that, so like you have a career leading up to the term of Premier of Saskatchewan, right? And Mr. Wall served for 10 years as Premier of Saskatchewan, but you have to look at the career leading up to that as well, which is, it is a long time in the trenches of politics. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 01:20:17 and when you look at politics, it's gross, man. I agree. It's gross. And you have people that hate on you for a long time. And he had the opportunity to pass it off to Mr. Mo. The timing was right, and they did it. I think it was the right time for him to do it too. I was hoping that there would be a part of him that was in the background ready to take a run at prime minister.
Starting point is 01:20:47 but you've got to understand, man, you would be sitting down in front of a firing squad, especially if you were a very well-respected premier of Western Canada that's going to go down and start calling shots in Eastern Canada. That would be a tough win. That would be a very tough win to be able to get Quebec and Ontario on your side. And I think you would have had a lot of brushing up on his front. to do, to be able to do it because that's a requirement. And I think that was one of the bigger downfalls of Ms. Lewis, Leslin Lewis, that did not win the conservative leadership races is her
Starting point is 01:21:29 French needs a little bit of work. And like we all got to be honest. It's one of the biggest things that needs to change is is election reform in Canada. But you need to win Quebec and Ontario. Unfortunately, the rest of the country just doesn't matter. If you don't win Quebec and Ontario, you might as well throw the towel, right? I agree. Which is, which is shitty. I want to, I want to point this out. I have no hard feelings on Bradwell.
Starting point is 01:21:56 I don't understand. To me, I get the, listen, if today Sean Newman goes, I think I could do a good job in politics, which I'm not so sure I could do. And people could take this for what they weren't. I don't know if I give votes anyways. I'd have to for sure get a tooth put in, because I don't think I've seen a toothless politician.
Starting point is 01:22:17 I could be wrong on that. Probably strong pole in Saskatchewan, and other than that, I might be hooped. Anyways, knowing that, though, let's say one of us is the right guy. Just being the right guy doesn't mean that two years you're the premier in Saskatchew. You've got to put in time.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Yeah, it's huge, man. Yeah. Right. So you look around, you see the world going to hell. It needs a calming voice to just be like, listen, this, and just explain things. And all I always bring up with Brad Wall is, is when I listen to him, I go like, there is such a well-spoken guy who gets it, who can, who can go back and forth. And maybe I'm wrong on all of it. But we don't, from my eyes,
Starting point is 01:23:01 and maybe you know of somebody that's sitting there, but I haven't seen one, which means we're going to have a tough time when in the next election or having somebody other than Trudeau win the election. That's all I'm getting that, right? And so you go, so what are we doing here? We're just, we're just going to go, politics is tough and it takes a long time and you get put in front of the fire. Well, I mean, we keep going the way. We're going quick. We're going to have, what do we going to be doing? It's not going to be fantastic. And that's why, man, I was, I was really pulling for, for Les and Lewis to win the conservative party race. She checked a lot of boxes. And I was in Saskatchewan, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:42 but yeah that's uh yeah i hear you and like that's that's that's kind of a problem that i've got right now is as well like who do you really vote for in the federal government right now i mean uh i mean i mean i like the fact that o'toole has got some military experience uh and that there's a chance that he'll do a better job of standing up to china than trudeau is doing but uh he's he's still on a spot where we're going to have to lay some carpet out to eastern canada and uh and and i I don't know exactly where he stands. I've heard some good things. I've heard him on Gormley a few times,
Starting point is 01:24:19 and he had some good ideas to handle the carbon tax and some different ideas of how it would be a carbon tax and let's get together with 700 of the largest emitters in Canada and work with them and get a plan together. And like, that's the kind of stuff that I want to hear. But, yeah, I just, I guess I just, I don't get the warm and fuzzies from him, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:24:43 And that's the best chance we've got right now of getting Trudeau, which I mean, as far as I'm concerned, is just the most important thing we do. Yeah, I hear you. And it breaks my heart because I'd love to see Bradwell go and do it because you're right. He speaks well. You don't back him into a corner. He's got an answer for you. And he's got a level head on his shoulder.
Starting point is 01:25:14 holders. And I think the biggest thing that we could see that would bring this country together would be some actual Western Canada representation in Ottawa. And instead of it being Western and Eastern Canada, I'd love for it to just be Canada. You know what I mean? I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, but it's just not right now. And I think that's the hardest thing about all this shit that's going on right now is this, this is a country that really needs each other. You know, there's there's a lot of great things that come out of eastern Canada and you know we have a lot of our steel and aluminum excuse me in eastern Canada there's a lot of manufacturing in eastern Canada and there's a lot of tech in eastern Canada um I'm not saying that all of that's not here in
Starting point is 01:26:00 Western Canada either but primarily we're bringing a lot of the food and and fuels to the game and and then alternatively you see a lot of these other things coming from our from our Eastern and partners in even on the west coast of bc and things like that you know but it's all like and then you get into our territories with our with our rare earth minds and a lot of different things i mean there's there's a whole bunch of stuff that really really fits together and works very very well in this country but you just got to get figured out how to how to make it so that we can all kind of get along and respect each other which is kind of something that over the last you know a couple of decades you can really see kind of falling apart which is shitty because this country's awesome i love Canada all of
Starting point is 01:26:41 Canada till I die, man. I'm just, I'm still proud to be Canadian. I'd be a lot prouder without that ass hat that's running the country, but that's just me, right? Man, that's more than just you. I just come back to, I can't get around, I don't call it a paradox is the only way we get out of this is with good politicians, but none of the good politicians want to run because of the firing squad. It's like, well, at some point that has to change. And I'm sure there's good politicians, I'm not wiping everything with one brush. Yeah, no, absolutely. As we sit here right now, the two major leaders of Canada, right, the opposition and the government, like the liberals, right, nobody likes Trudeau, at least over here. And I mean, his popularity, like you say, is falling.
Starting point is 01:27:33 Oh, Toos, I don't know. When you say, doesn't give you the warm and fuzzies, man, is that any other better way of a small town Saskatchewan just saying, I just, you know, I don't love the guy, right? Like, that's, that's cool to say. And so I just look at it and I go, so we're another four years away from whatever, right? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely, man. But I mean, it's, uh, and I guess like the other thing too, like that I will say is, I mean, when you, when you get into politics and you wind up with a, with a career in politics, I've heard a lot of guys say is that you get thick skin and that eventually like the firing squad it's like it's like you're wearing a bulletproof vest eventually they don't you don't let it
Starting point is 01:28:12 hit your heart kind of thing you know what i mean and you you kind of get over it you make your decision and you go with it but i mean like on the other hand of it i wouldn't want to be a politician right now uh i wouldn't want to be scott mo or jason kennedy jason canny or anybody like because no matter what you do is wrong especially right now right now over right so yeah it's crazy times and honestly i like i i i I feel bad for anybody that is in that position right now, trying to steer their ship through the pandemic here, except Trudeau, I don't feel bad for him because he was doing a horrendously shitty job before COVID ever came along.
Starting point is 01:28:53 So I still dislike him greatly. On a completely side tangent. And I don't know what you feel about Aunt Jemima, but today it got its name changed. Really, eh? Yep. Aunt Jemima is now, well, let me see if I can find it here, Pearl Milling Company Original. But I will say this because I'm sure there's somebody listening that is outraged at that
Starting point is 01:29:20 because I grew up with And Jemima, don't know the back story to it. I just love the syrup. Like I just, you know, what kid doesn't love that syrup, right? But here is the story I read, and I'm, as Byron Christopher told me, and you would like that episode. You should go back on. You want to talk about... On a side note,
Starting point is 01:29:41 you want to talk about doing all the editing, whatever? So I get my 150th episode out. It's Byron Christopher. The story is amazing. Let me tell you it is amazing. It's one of the best podcasts I've ever died. And then my mic, I don't know what I did in the editing software,
Starting point is 01:30:00 but I sound like this. You can't really hear me. Oh, no, that sucks, that. So then I had to spend all last night reed it. So now it's all good again. But the first, however many people that read it or heard it, we're like,
Starting point is 01:30:12 probably like, what the hell is this guy doing? But by the Christopher sounded awesome. Yeah. Oh, nice. But he, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy stories.
Starting point is 01:30:21 Anyways, he said, one of his things he said is be your own editor. He said, be your own editor. And so I was like, man, Aunt Jemima,
Starting point is 01:30:29 that sucks. But then I read a couple things. And it said, Aunt Jemima is based on the common, enslaved terminology mommy archetype and the term
Starting point is 01:30:39 aunt and uncle in the context was a southern form of address used with older enslaved peoples and you go yeah
Starting point is 01:30:47 I'm not for generalizing everything but when you know the backstory you're like I know our society gets butt hurt about everything
Starting point is 01:30:58 but that one is probably like you're like yeah fuck right like they're talking about an enslaved older woman and that's who the syrup was. You know what?
Starting point is 01:31:10 I didn't know that and I'm going to look great at you and be perfectly honest and tell you that I don't give a shit. I agree. I don't either. I really don't because you know what? Like there's, we've talked to people. You still don't give a shit. Okay, fair enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:28 All right. Yeah, I know. So there's people that have, you know, accuse me of being racist and massacred. But let's be very clear. Fuck them quick dick. No, no, I hear you. I would say 99.9% of people who watch your stuff,
Starting point is 01:31:47 male, female, or dog or whatever they genderify with. I'm telling you, your shit isn't even remotely racist. It's fucking awesome. Yeah, no, I appreciate that, man. And then it doesn't get to me. But like this, like the point that I'm trying to make here is when I grew up a kid, I did not, like, that was not in my head. And it's still not in my head today. And it wouldn't be in my head today when I look at that bottle of syrup. Because I was raised that when I looked at that bottle of
Starting point is 01:32:18 syrup, I saw the picture of the lady on the, on the syrup jug. I did not have a racial thought in my head. I was like, that's got to be the lady that made this syrup and it's fucking delicious. that's how I was raised as a kid and that's how I still am today and like now we want to take somebody that traces this all back and this is why it was named this and that or whatever have you got nothing fucking better to do with your time than to go back and see how we're possibly offending somebody by having a picture of a black lady on a jug of syrup you are a damaged individual if that's what you're trying to go back and do because I am a privileged white guy in the middle of Saskatchewan, which apparently people try and label is the most
Starting point is 01:33:04 racist province of Canada and everything, which I get tired of hearing. And still to this day, I just, that's all I remember as a kid because my fucking parents raised me properly. And when I looked at that, I was like, that is, that's just a beautiful lady that made this delicious cert for me to enjoy on these pancakes. And I'm having a great day today. I'm glad it took me until an hour and a half to get quick dick fired off fucking eight. I'm back, baby. But really, but really though like this like that's one thing that that i i can't stand this cancel culture shit that's going on yeah that's fair john a mcdonald statue being torn down and all the stuff like i i i get a lot of the things that happened up to this point in time in our lives there's some
Starting point is 01:33:46 people that did some things that were that were horrendously bad when you go back to that point in time that's that's unfortunately kind of how things were at that point in time i know johnny mcdonald did some terrible things but he also did some good things And if somebody wants to make a point out of, out of a statue or out of, you know, out of Aunt Jemima or something like that, why don't you take that of what you're trying, you're trying to cancel out Aunt Jemima instead of that? Why don't you take that as a learning opportunity and put a sticker on the back of the fucking maple syrup jug or the syrup jug? It's not maple syrup. It's just regular syrup. Put it on the back of the jug and be like, here's the story. And this is how it was. And we decided to lead this name here to tell people. that this was this was a bad way that we dealt with us or this is how we referred to people back then kind of thing. And why can't you turn it into a story of change? Because I have literally sat and ate a ton of pancakes with that syrup jug in front of me as a kid
Starting point is 01:34:46 reading the ingredients on it because there wasn't any TV to watch or anything like that. And you're just sitting there. I didn't want to talk to my asshole brothers because we've been fighting for a little while. So I just want to sit there and eat my pancakes and sat there and read the ingredients to this. Well, why don't you have a story for me to read on the back? of how Aunt Jemima is not the greatest name, but we left it there so that you could learn that this is what it meant. Because the information you just gave me is something I did not know.
Starting point is 01:35:12 And I think that would be a great learning opportunity for me. But no, let's just erase all of it like nothing ever happened. It's ridiculous. Okay, I'm going to, I want to say this is when I researched it, I was like, oh, shit, I didn't know that. okay i guess that kind of makes sense right so now i'm kind of like okay i was gonna be mad about and jeremiah would change his name because i'm like you i grew up and i'm just a kid kids look at it and see what they want to see and and carry on you raise a very very very very good point that is why not why not have instead of canceling everything out so we don't remember where we
Starting point is 01:35:59 came from. Why not have it on the back of the bottle or part of their thing that this is where it came from? And this isn't right, but this is where it came from. Yeah, man. It brings up the Amiton Eskimos actually. Oh, get out of my head because that's where I was going to next.
Starting point is 01:36:15 Well, I just, to me, and to me, the football club, like, like, I mean, shit. I remember thinking, I'm going to go back to Andrew Mio for a second. I remember thinking, as a kid. I wonder who she was. Like, who the hell was Antio Maima? But there was no internet. There's no TV. There's no none of this. You couldn't, I mean, maybe you could, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:36:41 Where would you research that? I actually don't know the answer to that. But maybe you could have found that somehow. I don't know. But chances are you could. Jesus, like, if I would read that story on the back of a bottle of Antaaa syrup, I'd go buy another one. Just because I was like, shit, I learned something. I mean, because the syrup's delicious, obviously. But. But maybe you're hitting on something here. Maybe if there's some big companies out there that have tuned into the Sean Newman podcast and they're sitting there. Well, we got a big choice coming up.
Starting point is 01:37:14 Maybe there's a way you can spin it and be like, you know what, Eskimos, you know, I understand offensive people. But in saying that, they freaking went and God, like, I just, damn it, I don't know. leading up to each game here here is a here is a an inuit person of canada or an askimo fact or whatever and we can go through a fact before each game or at half time or this of why we're proud Evanton Ascomo's proud to support our our Inuit people of Canada or whatever what the fuck is wrong with that I would sit and it and you know what like one thing that I miss I miss seeing the hinterland who's who on CBC because it's telling me something about my country that I didn't know. I'll go through the loon or the or the beaver or this or that.
Starting point is 01:38:01 I mean, why can't we do with all this shit? We're just going to keep canceling everything. And canceling people is not what we should be doing. No 825, maybe older than that, knows anything with what you just said. That's been gone for a long time, has it? I think it has, but I miss it. Oh, man, I miss it terribly. That just gave me actually a great idea for upcoming Quick Dick episode.
Starting point is 01:38:25 Good. I'm glad I can spark on some things. I honestly think you're on to something there because when I read it, my brain, you know, it's funny you get called a racist. I get at times called a liberal because I'm liberal in my views. I don't know which one's worse, man. Honestly, I was just like, like, just because I'm willing to see the other side and like listen to it and be like, well, I could say, I can kind of get it.
Starting point is 01:38:49 But hearing you talk, I go, that's why it's good to talk to people. Because it's like, why can't we have this as a learning lesson? And that would be more beneficial to have the story of Aunt Jemima than to say we're now called the Pearl Milling Company. And just cancel it. And for the next 100 years, nobody's going to know that it was named after a slave and why they did that. And that was terrible. But right? Like.
Starting point is 01:39:15 Yeah. And like, and then you get a product like that. You get a lot of strong products like that. That, I mean, that's not something that's going to go away anytime soon. You know what I mean? Like that's your chance to. to like so okay well let me ask you this thing because i don't know so what's up with uncle ben's rice then are they going to change that too oh garren fucking teed that was i guarantee they're gonna
Starting point is 01:39:36 guaranteed they're like i i'm not trying to be a racist i'm just like that's what just popped into my mind here now but like like why why do we change this stuff instead of just like yeah i just don't get it man this this whole you just you just got to cancel it you can't do this you can't You can't, you can't, you can't. Well, I get that a lot of things might have been bad, but if we don't learn from them, if we don't teach our future generation about them, are we just going to wind up repeating them or what? I don't know. You know, the first thing I did is like, screw it. I'm going to, I'm going to Google Uncle Ben because I guarantee we can get to the bottom of this. And, but actually, you know, it, well, here, I'll read you it and see if anything
Starting point is 01:40:23 Sparta. In the 1910s, the German British scientist and chemist, Eric, I'm not going to try and pronounce that name. Who's emblaude? That was terrible. And the British scientist and chemist, Francis, Huron, Rogers invented a form of parboiling, designed to retain more of nutrients and rice known as something. The process vacuum, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Now I'm just trying to like... So the paraboiling or ice gives the cook time of it's insanely long or whatever. See a parable it, then dry it out, and then it cuts your cook time, like, in half or a third or whatever, when you go to boiling again, right? Well, that's why I got you on.
Starting point is 01:41:03 You're the expert. Well, of not very much, but I do know what paraboiling is, yeah, because I can't remember. I think I'd come across that word once, and I was like, in the, you know, this paraboling. It's been around since 1943. That's a long time, man. You know what? I thought it would have been older than that, to be perfectly honest. Really?
Starting point is 01:41:25 Yeah. Okay. Neat. But anything about it being canceled yet? Nothing about it being canceled, to be honest. But wouldn't it? In saying that, the deeper you dig, the deeper you dig. Yeah. The next article says for faces behind Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Cream of Wheat, Life Transcended Stereotype. That's the article. Cream of wheat. What's going to happen to Quaker Oats? Are they going to have to take that picture off of it too we're on like we're on like a strictly breakfast and grains tangent here the next one's mrs butterworth you ever missus butterworth oh oh yeah it's oh man yeah it's yeah it's crazy i really hope we can get off that train there was a there was a video going around i think i i want to say i saw it on twitter but it was an english lady that was talking
Starting point is 01:42:21 about the importance of hearing not censoring speech and hearing what everybody has to say. And no matter what you censor, people are going to say it and that it's more dangerous to force it underground to be talked about underground than it is to be talked about in the open. And that's a very, very well said little piece. And I don't know why I just really get into it when I see British people talking because I love a British accent. I don't know why. I just like listening to it.
Starting point is 01:42:50 But she made just fast great points. I mean, it was edited. There was a couple little clipouts here and there, whatever kind of thing. But yeah, it's just so true. And I think that it rings true to cancel culture too. Yeah, just don't think anything should be canceled whatsoever. And there was a great YouTube video.
Starting point is 01:43:09 And I don't watch a lot of YouTube videos. I can't remember where I saw this one. It got shared somewhere. But it was literally a guy that was walking through a grocery store. he's going to like 800 items in the grocery store and the oh man what was the one it was like dixie pop or something like that like a popcorn thing down to the states and it is canceled and klondag bars canceled and he's just going through all the stuff coming up with a bunch of excuses to cancel it and i just i literally pissed myself laughing for like four minutes because everyone he came up to
Starting point is 01:43:39 he'd come up with some obscene obtuse reason to cancel it and he's just like it's canceled and he knock it over or whatever and you can tell he's just in there doing this, there's people watching them and like, oh, it was hilarious, man, but I thought it was really good, but it is like pretty quick into the point of just how you could find anything in anything to cancel anything, right? Well, here's, here's a little more in Uncle Ben, okay? So the name Uncle Ben came from an African American farmer in Texas, who was renowned for his high quality rice.
Starting point is 01:44:10 According to the brand's website, Gordon Harwell and his partner who co-founded the Grains line, decided to change the name of what was called converted brand rice in the late 1940s to draw on a new customer. They came up with the new name while having dinner at a favorite Chicago restaurant. Really? Was the rice grown in Texas, or that's just where the food company was in Texas? I don't think they grow much rice in Texas, do they? Just says that the name Uncle Ben came from an African American farmer in Texas who was
Starting point is 01:44:41 known for his high quality rice. I don't know. Quality race, really. You know what? Now I'm going to start looking to see how many different varieties of race to your own Texas. It's a funny thing because I remember, you know, this is a weird, I don't know how we got here, big shooter. Well, I know. We always seem to get different places, don't we?
Starting point is 01:45:01 Oh, we do. You know, so my day consisted, I was telling you, of getting here after wrestling with kids, whatever, having, whatever, taking pictures. and I showed her my notes. I showed Randy, my notes, showed Randy. And I said, normally I have more than this. But I'm hoping quick dick will pick up on a couple of things and away we go. Because I got literally Aunt Jemima.
Starting point is 01:45:27 I got Premier Moe, not President of Moe, but you know what I mean? I don't like, well, we're going to roll with it tonight. You do know. So I think we always got to roll with it. Yeah, that's, yeah. I don't know that's a tough thing about we're on a podcast too like you kind of got to have everything scheduled out of kind of what you want to talk about just kind of structure things the way to go
Starting point is 01:45:48 here's a here's the thing that I maybe I this is just me but when you're interviewing somebody for the first time I find it really not easy that that's a that's a that's a stretch you got a lot you got a lot of introductional questions that you yeah and and if I listen to quick dick now in the first one there wasn't all the ammo there is now. You know how many podcasts you're doing. So I can literally hop on and listen to you for the next 20 hours. And I got a good idea of who quick dick is. That wasn't like that our first time. But let's just Wayne Grexie, let's say. Wayne Grexie's coming on. I can read probably 10 books on them. I can listen to this. You can get a, I mean, it's time.
Starting point is 01:46:31 Yeah. But the funny thing is, is when it comes to the third time, well, the fourth time for you, It's like, well, what are we going to, you know, what is going on in the world today? It's actually a fun, it's a fun little thing to get to. And I'm hoping to get with more guests because the introductory is fun. Yeah. But getting past that is a lot more fun. You actually get into some things.
Starting point is 01:47:00 Then to dig into it. Yeah, absolutely, man. No, that's great. You know, it's kind of crazy. I wound up doing a few podcasts and I've got a lot of guys that are kind of hitting me up, which unfortunately, I mean, I can only get so many people. But it's going to hit a point too where, like, all of a sudden, like, I try and hit retweets and try and share stuff out and everything like that and try and
Starting point is 01:47:20 try and get stuff as much traction, you know, for you guys as it can. But eventually people like are past that introductory point kind of thing and they're just like, okay, like I've kind of heard this guy do a podcast this many times or whatever. And that's where like, you know, I've kind of got to the point where I'm only doing so many here and there because eventually people just don't want to listen to you. But on the other hand, what I have noticed is you get somebody pick you up that wants to do an interview and then you kind of get introduced to their crowd of people and they ain't ever heard of you before kind of thing, right? So it's, yeah, it's, it's kind of a strange game to play, I guess. Well, it goes,
Starting point is 01:47:57 it goes back to what I said to you last time because you were talking about, you know, I don't want to do too many podcasts. I don't want to water it down. I'm like, watering it down, man. There's like, God damn it, there's a lot of podcast now. Like, and more than ever. And every time you hit a new one, you hit their audience. It gets, what I got to assume is tough is being in your shoes because I know like sitting down with Cabby Richard sticks out to me, like Cabby on the street. There's a guy from the score and TSN and he did these funny little, skit videos with like he did one with he was remembered or not remembered he's still alive he was renowned for his ones with Kobe Bryant when he was still alive and he told me when he was going
Starting point is 01:48:52 to come on he's like can we just skip by the introductory stuff can we just talk about some things I'm like absolutely right like that that pushes me to make sure I have my research done and absolutely and I always I a I appreciated you know that conversation because it skipped out the first half an hour of where you get to know someone. But I am not in the shoes of Quick Dick or Cabby or whoever where you're getting asked like once a week. Well, yeah, absolutely. But to sit and have the same conversation with somebody else over and over and over again, I don't mean as bad because you got to be humble about that.
Starting point is 01:49:29 But at the same time to have the same conversation over and over and over again, at some point in time, you've got to be looking to the third time because you're like, I wonder what we're going to talk about tonight. You know what? It really doesn't bother me. I guess the only thing I'm conscious of and like I'm going to share a little secret with you. I don't get self-conscious very often at all whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:49:51 But the only thing I'm a little self-conscious about to whatever is that like I'll sit and have that first conversation today because nine times out of ten, I'm meeting the person for the first time too. And that's how you have a conversation with somebody you get to know them is to be like, what do you? What do you? And it's like, yeah, I'll share my story with you and let you know a little bit about what's going on and you're asking the questions because you probably don't know and your listeners
Starting point is 01:50:10 probably don't know and yeah you find yourself going over like the same story quite a bit which is fine um i guess like my bigger thing when i do it is i'm just like you know if if i try and like i'll try and push this stuff out to to my crowd of people too if they're looking for more content from him be like how long does it go before they're like oh it's just another podcast with quick dick where he'll tell the story about him going cutting wood with bma and drinking beer and that's how it started, exploded from there and da-da-da-da-da, right? Which is good, and that's why I like, I like coming on yours. And, yeah, like going on Vance's as well, because there's a lot of Vance's crew that down
Starting point is 01:50:47 at his neck of the woods that have never heard of me or don't know who I am kind of thing, which is great. And I like coming on your podcast because I know that a lot of the people that listen to your podcast in that area are like quick dick supporters and our fans and we'll sit and listen to a guy talk, but I feel like a lot of people that listen to your podcast, I could sit across from like we're doing right now and have a beer and have basically the same conversation. And I think that's where people are like podcasts is when they're hearing conversation that they like to have, right? It's, uh, I feel like whenever we're having a podcast
Starting point is 01:51:21 together is that we're just kind of sitting in a shop drinking and having a bullshit. Yeah, exactly, right? Which is good. And that's like, that's what, that's what a lot of good Sasky and Alberta and Canadian boys like to do is sit around, have bullshit. You know what I mean? Well, I'll say this. I can't speak for your followers, but I always go back to when I got Paul Bissonette, right? The guy's got over, I don't know what he's at now. At the time, he had over a million followers on Twitter, and it translated to zero.
Starting point is 01:51:50 Like, not zero, but like, you know, everyone I assume thought, like, man, you must have had like 500,000 downloads. That must have been crazy. It's like, well, no, it's exactly what you're saying. If you want quick dick, you go to his stuff. And no, he did a podcast. I've never heard that. But then you hear it for the second time. Yeah, that was the same thing.
Starting point is 01:52:09 Oh, you heard it for the third time? I'm done. I'm done. Yeah. And I can just imagine a guy like Paul Biss and Ed who's on a podcast every single week. If you want him, there he is. Right? Yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:52:21 You don't need the intro story. He's sitting everywhere. It's a funny little game. Right? It's cool to get them on. Like, I'm not knocking having them on. It's super cool. No, yeah, no, I definitely. It's the same thing with you to have you on.
Starting point is 01:52:38 Being the first, I'll say, I'll give you props on this. Being your first podcast really gives you an end. You got my cherry, man. I can't believe that, eh? Yeah, I did. You got it twice because of podcast zero. I'll never let you live that down in your life. Just so we're clear on that, right?
Starting point is 01:52:58 I might make a shirt with that on it. I got QDM's cherry. You'd be crazy not to. Make sure it's made in Canada. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. I can hook you up with a guy. I've got the guys. But that one right there,
Starting point is 01:53:19 it was evident to me that you'd never done podcast before because the YouTube views just- What? Was that awkward or one? You know what's funny? I remember for the, obviously the listeners weren't involved in the conversation. You saying, I don't know if I can hold a conversation for more than 15 minutes. Well, shit, here we go on two hours for the fourth time. Every time, right?
Starting point is 01:53:41 Every time. Yeah. Like, I mean, it's not even laughable anymore. Yeah. So just so you know, like when you do book me for a podcast, I always shout over to my secretary. And I'm like, quick dick, clear the schedule. Clear my schedule. Wife goes to me tonight.
Starting point is 01:53:56 So what time you need to me home? And I'm like, well, I got quick. ticket at 7.30. She's like, yeah. I'm like, I don't know. It's going to be late, it's going to be late. Which is what it is, man. It really is. I enjoy, I tell you what, we can move into the final segment here in a couple of seconds, but you said something to me that I told a few people around me that I thought was that I use this line on a lot of people all the time. I was like, hey, quick, are you in Lloyd yet? and you're like the highway runs both ways and I was like
Starting point is 01:54:33 fair fair fair job so in the summertime I'm kind of a dick that way sometimes yeah in the summertime if things are still the way they are even if they aren't I'm making a road trip to tough no done I love it man sounds great we're gonna do we're gonna do one of these in person and we're gonna have one of those uh what did you call them belly band-aids belly band-aid man yeah yeah we're gonna do one of those and we're gonna we're gonna get your old man in on it like we're gonna do this more oh yeah it'd be hard to get BMA in on a beer yeah not he'll be there uh you know what this this has been good though because I got a couple of uh I got a couple ideas off of the off the show here today already
Starting point is 01:55:23 we got belly band-aid and then we got to do uh Hinterland Who's who? Oh, man. This is, this has been a really creative night, actually. Hey, I'm just helping you out here. Hey, that's what I'm here for. That's what friends do. I'm putting this into my notes in my phone right now so that I remember to do this stuff because tomorrow I'm going to forget. It's terrible. I must be getting old. If I don't put stuff in my notes right away, I lose it. Listen, I was listening to you in Vance. I pulled over on the side of the road and jot it down the note in there
Starting point is 01:55:57 because I'm like, if I don't put this in right now, I'm going to lose it. And it'll be gone. And then I'll be like, God, I had an idea. I had a real good idea. I can't think of it now. No, it's true, but that's... Hey, you might have a shirt come... You might have a shirt come Monday
Starting point is 01:56:15 says I took QDM's cherry. We get creative with that. I don't know. Hey, bring it up. I'll talk to my design team and see if they can help me out that a little bit. It's actually funny. I just opened up the notes on my phone. I got a specific spot where I keep like everything that I got. I call it my job board or whatever. But anyone that suggests ideas to me, which I actually get a lot of and a lot of people just should keep their ideas to themselves because it's not what I'm about. But a lot of people have great ideas too.
Starting point is 01:56:43 You know what I mean? So and I make a joke that I'll put it on my job board and my job board is all broken piece of OSB and I use a paint marker to write on it kind of thing. which is not what I do, I just put it in the phone. But I have a lot of people go like, you know, are you ever scared you're going to run out of ideas? And I guess everyone is kind of scared of that kind of thing. But like, I just opened up the notes on my phone and like had to like go like this to put these at the bottom of the list.
Starting point is 01:57:12 You know what I mean? And that's, I don't know. I've always said it. I've said it for a long time. Like you can really find funny stuff and everything. And that's, I mean, it's a part of what I've done like you're talking you here a shift in me kind of thing. I'm still kind of the same old me, but it's always cool to try something new and go in a
Starting point is 01:57:31 different direction kind of thing. And I feel like no matter what I can always fall back on that slapstick Saskatchewan humor because there's just an endless, endless well of it here. As long as you have your mind right and you're waiting for it and you grab it when you, when you see it, you have to be able to recognize it. And you just have to be able to even like with our, with our belly bandit thing in the hinterland, who's who I've already got most of them planned out in my mind in this tiny little bit of time that we've been talking to how I want it to go.
Starting point is 01:58:04 Like I'm just, I'm like a puppy dog watching a ball or whatever. You know what I mean? It's just like it's hard to keep me on track. But I just, I really hope I never lose that of, of not, you know,
Starting point is 01:58:17 being able to do productions and stuff like that. Eventually that'll go away someday. but just being able to recognize that that's a funny thing. And that needs to be okay with a lot of people in this world. People need to focus a little harder on that. You need to be able to look at something and be like, that's actually a funny thing. There's times where there's things, it's a funny thing,
Starting point is 01:58:39 and you don't laugh at it and you don't tell people that it's a funny thing. But deep down inside, you're like, oh shit, that's a really funny thing, but you just don't say it. You just keep yourself down trying to laugh. But then there's times, And man, I can't count the amount of times out at Barra Ranch and Dagno Farms, the two places that I'm always working back and forth between where I really feel like QuickDick has been a good thing to happen to those two places because typically it would be a situation where there would be tempers flaring and it would people would be upset and whatnot. And since Quick Dick has come along, it's instead of it being a traumatic experience, it's like, this is actually pretty funny you know nine times today planted the 7520 and the biggest
Starting point is 01:59:28 snow drift you've ever seen in your life trying to get a bail out and instead of it being ah fuck give me a guy phones ran you need you to come pull me out i'm over here doing this he's over here doing that i need you come pull me out it's just like yeah quick dick yeah uh Saskatchewan yank over by the bales on the double on the way and you get there you're laughing about it right so man, if anything good comes out of this, like I hope that that kind of stuff continues to come out of it, right? You know, we see the positivity and anything. Always. You've got to, man. You've got to. Negativity is, it's terrible. It's a cancer. It's one of the things I really enjoy about you. It's one of the reasons I keep bringing you on here. I laugh about the idea thing because if you can believe it, I get asked all the time if I'm running out of guess.
Starting point is 02:00:17 Like there is like 7.8 billion people on this planet. If I could get a hold of just a fraction of them, I got enough for the rest of my lifetime. I hear you, man. Hey, let me ask you a question. Do you have a hard time like getting, like there'll be somebody like, I really want that guy on my podcast.
Starting point is 02:00:34 Do you have a hard time getting people? Is it like a roller coaster? Okay. So like you win the lottery sometimes when you like, when you do have someone that you're like, there's no way in hell I'll ever get them on. And then all of a sudden they're like, yeah, sure, no problem. And you're like, what? So do you know who Keith Morrison is from Dateline,
Starting point is 02:00:52 who has the great voice? No. Shit, sorry, man. Okay, he's really famous. He's from the state. Well, he's from Lloyd Minster. He's born in Lloyd Minster. But he's in the States. It took me like eight months. And I can't count how many emails. So when I finally got him, I didn't know what to do, right? Like, give me a belly bandaid. Let's get this thing rolling kind of thing, right? Like, I don't know what to do. I'm pumped up for how much you're going to use that now. And for the rest of time, for the rest of the time.
Starting point is 02:01:26 I would say now that the world, like COVID, but it's had it's good and it's bad, right? So when COVID hit, everybody's at home. So in the beginning, there was ways to get a hold of people. And I was surprised at some of the names I got. But as time goes on, you could probably attest to this. you're getting hammered by, let's say you're getting hammered by three podcasts a week. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 02:01:53 What is Wayne Grexky getting hammered by? What is, what is, what is? Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, I can't imagine. Right. Are you saying I'm not as popular as Wayne Gretzky? That's exactly what I'm saying, yes.
Starting point is 02:02:04 Yes. That's a good point. So I would, I would say, the reason I'm, the reason I talk about the change in you is because when I first started watching you, you were the guy who went after Trudeau and the easy picking cherries. And it's interesting just to watch your growth. I think of it as growth. Like, how am I going to continue to do this for another year? Or another. A nice comment. I appreciate that. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. And over the last little bit, I've, you know, I don't, I don't know, if listeners have noticed it, but, you know, I was a guy in the first, I don't know, I'm going to
Starting point is 02:02:47 tell you quick, the first time you came on in episode 72, I got to assume the first 71, probably 92% of it was hockey guys, right? I'm labeled as a hockey podcast. But the two best episodes I think I've had. And this is no slight on you. This is no slight on anyone before because I've enjoyed them all. But there are two episode, that's a lie, three. There are three episodes that I just hold in like, I, man, like that was something special. And I didn't see it coming. Sy Campbell, the World War II vet. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 02:03:20 That was so good. Like, so good. And I mean, like, that comes with it, you know. Judy Reeves, she survived the perfect storm. And maybe it's a little bit more to me because we talk about some things. But I've listened to it three times. And that isn't to hear my voice. That's to hear just the conversation.
Starting point is 02:03:41 It is that good. Yeah, man. I've had people say it's Joe Rogan-esque. And for me, that's a very high. compliment. And then the one is Byron Christopher 150. That's what pissed me off so much about the mic not being loud when it was loud and I don't know what I did on editing. But Byron Christopher is another one that you're going to, I promise you when you start. I'm going to check it out. Yeah. You're going to be like, you're going to be like, holy shit. Like this. This. So here's a
Starting point is 02:04:12 crazy. To be honest, there's a lot of the stuff that I'm actually starting to put on list because right now with calving and everything going or while we're not calving yet but we're going to be getting into calving or getting a whole bunch stuff done or whatever i feel like i find myself at a point where i don't have a lot of time for like podcasts and everything but i'm starting to compile this list because when i start working nights during calving and then get into like it goes right into seating i mean you have so much time that you need to fill space up here kind of thing especially like through the night when you're calving like yeah so i yeah i yeah i i i I'm slowly making this list of stuff that I need to listen to.
Starting point is 02:04:49 And, man, if you see it's good, I'm pumped. I'm going to hold you to it. And if it's garbage, I'm just going to, oh. You come at me and I will laugh at you. I will laugh at you when you say it's garbage because I'm telling you. I'm just going to be running words off to you. I'm not trying to pump, you know, to anyone who's listened to it, they know already. If you don't like my style, you're not tuning in unless it's Wayne Grexki, right?
Starting point is 02:05:12 Or whoever your guy is. But if you, if you've been listening since the beginning, I've had people walk in and go or text and say that might be your best. That might be your best. Oh, dude. That's awesome. It has nothing to do with this guy. Nothing.
Starting point is 02:05:26 Yeah. But so have you noticed like as you build your, your following and people that are listening to your podcast and everything, like have you noticed that you have like a group of hardcore people that are into what you're doing? They don't miss an episode. They'll make sure. comment to you on what's going on and everything.
Starting point is 02:05:49 So I got to give a shout out to the champ. The champ is an older gentleman. You hear that, champ? Who works with me. I always. Serious respect. I have a- If Sean respects you, I respect you too.
Starting point is 02:06:04 How the hell are you? So what I do is after we're done, I have a little outro. Just like, hey, thanks for listening, blah, blah, blah. It's very canned, whatever. But then I have a little piece that I've seen. started in 2021. That's, Hey, Keeners, he's still listening, and I bugged the champ incessantly in there about go back
Starting point is 02:06:23 to work because he's a lazy, you know, he's out, he's out golfing at two o'clock in the afternoon. He's got his feet on the desk. And I would say that absolutely, you got your audience. I, um, one of the things that people have told me over and over again. And I, you know, in the beginning, I, I didn't know how to handle it. But I get it is I've modeled what I do. off of Joe Rogan because I really appreciate what he does.
Starting point is 02:06:50 Well, he doesn't interview the same guy over and over again. He's not spitting chicklets. He's not cowboy things. He's not golfing. He's not whatever. He's, in my opinion, MMA comedians and interesting things that are going on. And that is talking to the best.
Starting point is 02:07:06 And so for me, you know, I wish I had the access of, of, uh, no, you're taking, don't take a fess second question.
Starting point is 02:07:16 I think you're one of the best. I really do. No, no, I was laughing at that. But like I, I know I was laughing because I completely understand like, because basically Joe Rogan can like, his people can get a hold of somebody. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:30 Yeah. Yeah. Right. Unless you're cold or wall. And then you're going to be like, well, I'm a little too busy ranch. And at which point in time I'm like, you've reached level badass when you turn Joe Rogan down because you're too busy ranching. That's something.
Starting point is 02:07:53 Colter Wall, God, I'd love to have him on. But, I mean, I just go back to, I have people that probably say, there's definitely dedicated people that listen to everything. Right on, that's good, man. But most people, most say, I love what you do. I just don't love every guest. And they, you know, when I have the archives, there's a definite following of like,
Starting point is 02:08:16 anytime I interview somebody that's a community pillar. Now, obviously, that's very specific to Lloyd. But I mean, he doesn't want to hear a 98 year old talk a little bit about the old days. Right. Like that's the thing. Like that's stuff that I could just sit and listen to forever. And that's like, I think that's why I was so like I was so entrenched in size podcast there. When you had him on, like it was even like, I couldn't believe.
Starting point is 02:08:46 he would just kind of laugh about some of the things that happened and the atrocities and stuff. And it's just like, well, it's just kind of the way it was. And that's where I think the reason that I love listening to that one so much. And that's the one you sent me to when I was like, well, when I was like feeling you out, you were like, who is this guy? Yeah, man. Yeah. Because like I forgot about that.
Starting point is 02:09:06 I listened to a lot of podcasts, man. And you sent me to the right one. And I was like, shit, man. Like, and I could listen. And like, you know, like for Jack Scholes, when I did that video called You Don't Know Jack kind of thing for Remembrance Day and stuff. Like I remember sitting listening to him. He only talked about D-Day once, but he would talk about the war in general every now and
Starting point is 02:09:29 then. And like I'm just, I'm a sucker for that stuff. I could sit and listen to vets talk forever because first of all, they need to talk. They should talk. And we should listen because they have a very, very, very important story to tell. and they're getting to be very, very, very fewer of World War II vets. And we need to be very conscious of that as well. So that's another reason why I was really happy that you had them on because that's,
Starting point is 02:09:56 that's engraved in time now is his story, right? And that's more important things. And I like, you know, I wish that I had been doing this back when I was a kid before Jack died and I would have tried to do an episode with Jack for Remembrance Day kind of thing, right? but that's uh yeah i could listen to to vats talk all day here's a here's a challenge to listeners and to quick dick because if i make a road trip to toughnall i've been saying this behind closed doors now for too long and i should have i don't know how to make a public maybe just put it on on social media i'm not i'm not sure but i think you know you talk about toughnall and it
Starting point is 02:10:36 being very similar to all the other small town saskatchew and farmers are all the same across all the small, blah, blah, every small town has that one guy. You're like, he'd be a great podcast. Like, he'd be fantastic. And when I come to Tufnell, I want the one guy. Okay, you've got her. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:55 All right. Oh, yeah, we'll do that. Because as much as I want QuickDick, I want whoever at the co-op, who's the old guy who everybody respects and it'd just be great. Because I've been trying to do that as much as I can do here in this area because there's so many of them. Yeah, no, there really is, man.
Starting point is 02:11:14 Yeah. And that's what Cy Campbell was because he's from Unity. That's how I got put on to him. As listeners said, you've got to go do this guy. Yeah. Oh, yeah, and your listeners were bang on 100%. Yeah, he was fantastic. But yeah, it's, no, it's great.
Starting point is 02:11:30 I'm glad you got people that stick around and watch it. That's one thing I've really noticed on my channel and why I've kind of got to the point where I'm not afraid to go off in a lot of different directions. to try something new or even like I wasn't sure how like the grain hall Christmas carol one was going to go and it went like quite well and that's when I went into this uh nippy one kind of thing or whatever like I like I get feedback from people and like my thing is on YouTube that I like I can see who's commenting on all my stuff or whatever and like I get a lot of returning people that
Starting point is 02:12:04 make sure they go down into the comments and then like I really like that one and da da da which is fantastic, great. And if any of them are listening, I mean, I just appreciate everybody taking the time to leave a comment. But after I did this one, like I,
Starting point is 02:12:20 like I'd never again, like question if I had an idea for a parody of a song. It's not even a question. I'll just do it. Not trying to sound like a cocky bastard. If I've got an idea to do something, I'm just going to go do it anyways.
Starting point is 02:12:33 And people are either going to like it or hate it than whatever, right? If I've learned anything, is that one episode does not make you, and one episode certainly does not break you. Yeah, it's so true, man, yeah. Because I've had, you know, I don't know, like, I'm once again, you want to talk about not tooting your own horn.
Starting point is 02:12:54 Like, I'm trying not toot my horn. But it's funny because I've had the Don Cherry, the Ron McLean, the Paul Biss and that, like the really big names. And I, they didn't make, I personally don't think they blew me out of the water, like where I'm, I don't know, riding some chariot down Toronto going, hey, look at me.
Starting point is 02:13:14 I still get asked by Glenn Healy, who the fuck is Sean Newman? And I'm like, well, I'm, uh, let me, let me, let me ask you, do you, like, do you envision success is riding a chariot? Oh, but that'd be cool, wouldn't it? It would be cool. Yeah, I'll give you that. You'd be like, yeah, shit, there goes Sean Newman down, down the main street on a chariot. And the hell is that guy downtown Toronto on a chariot to the cowboy hat on?
Starting point is 02:13:39 And all you're looking for is the top barrel to make the turn, you know what I mean? I think it's great when you try new things because you never know, you never know when that thing you're a little bit nervous to try is an absolute hit. And nippy, well, I'm going to play it at the start of the podcast. I'm telling you. So you probably remember this, but I get like, I get really bad, really good nerves, but bad nerves, but bad nerves, whatever you want to call it before every podcast. and it is the closest thing to playing hockey I've ever felt. And so that's like good, but it's bad because you have like this like 15 minutes of like, whew, here we go, here we go, get in it, get in it, right?
Starting point is 02:14:22 And so I play like, I play ACDC, right? I like a little ACDC. It just gets me in the mood. And today I played Nippy. And I was like, shit, yeah, I'm ready for this. Here's the thing that I will tell you about that, that I'll tell you about Greenhol, and that I will like, I kind of rushed both of them like Nippy. I did completely on Sunday and uploaded for Monday, start to finish, which I will do different
Starting point is 02:14:53 next time because like I just had the idea and push it out really fast because I just wanted something up Monday so that people that were always looking for me on a Monday before could just be like, oh shit, quick dicks on a Monday, right? Like I kind of wanted that. I would take more time at it and plan it out more. and like now when I look back on it, I was like, man, I could have done so many things different and made it even better kind of thing. But I'll like, I'll keep working on that, right? But that gives you room to improve the next, the next music video that Quick Dick does, well, like I'll step it up a notch every time I do it,
Starting point is 02:15:27 right, and try and make something better or whatever, right? And I think that's an important thing that people need to do, not just on, I mean, I know you do it on your podcast and that people need to do generally in life, do something. And then if you're going to go repeat it, challenge yourself and do it better next time, right? And that's when like the next time I do a news broadcast, the toughnull at 10, I want to do it better than the one I did before. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:15:49 And that's, I haven't done a toughnil at 10 in a while. Maybe it's time for one of those two, right? Definitely. I want, I want belly band-aids. That's what I want. That has been the greatest thing ever.
Starting point is 02:16:05 I might just make a belly-band-aid t-shirt. You should, yeah. I'll race you to it. First guy with the belly band-aid t-shirt wins, and it's got to be made in Canada. Oh, hey, dude, you want some other sweet, sweet-ass news? Yeah, far one. I've been getting all my merch made in Canada, and I've, like, my merch store has been out of regular people sizes forever kind of thing or whatever, just because with COVID, like,
Starting point is 02:16:29 my manufacturers in Ontario was the only manufacturer I could find in Canada to get actual bunny hugs made in Canada. it's not easy to find stuff made in Canada. Through like 800 different leap frogs and wormholes and people that know people and everything, I found a manufacturer in Manitoba. And I've got one round coming in, which will be my last round that's made in eastern Canada. And the round of merch following that will be made in Western Canada, man. I'm pumped about it.
Starting point is 02:17:08 Okay, I got, okay, I was going to say this two hours ago. You said, I don't think we got, I don't think we got too many things where we differ on it. I said, ah, we probably got a few. And the made in Canada thing, I want you to educate me because. Sure. Well, I'll try. I'll see what I can do. Yeah, it's a Richardson hat.
Starting point is 02:17:27 It's a Richardson hat. It says it on your snap. I noticed the SNP and that's soccer's made in China. It is. And this is how I justify it to myself. I want to be very clear because I love what you're doing. I love the made in Canada. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 02:17:47 But what I worry about, and maybe I'm wrong on this, and that's why we're going to do this at the end of the podcast, and if you're still listening, hold on to your head, right? You're going to edit this back to the front later on. That's right. I said, is what's, surprised me about buying a hat off your site was it's expensive it's just it's it's an expensive
Starting point is 02:18:15 hat and it's cool that it's made in canada i i can't deny that i was like like this is cool like this is cool but yeah expensive and so so so what i did what i did is i partnered with factory sports here in town i got a buddy who uh him and his brother just bought the business in lloyd and so i'm like in my mind, I'm supporting local Lloyd Minster business. And if you're wanting some SMP stuff, go into Lloyd, a store, and there it is. But I always, you always bring up, is it made in Canada?
Starting point is 02:18:52 And I'm like, well, I don't know. I don't educate me because I'm always up for new things. And I'm up for, right? Like, I'm up for anything. I'm game for anything, right? Yeah, no, absolutely. And that's so, and like, and what I would counter to what you're saying for, hit, hit your guy again. What's her business name?
Starting point is 02:19:14 Factory sports. Factory sports. So they do embroidery screen printing and everything at factory sports? Yeah, they do everything. Okay, perfect. So, so like what I do with places like that and I actually use a local printer. So I'm wearing my star is funny hug tonight because I actually, I just finished actually working out before we got onto this or whatever. Oh, working out.
Starting point is 02:19:34 No big deal. Yeah. you know, no big deal. I'm kind of a big deal. But anyways, my bunny hugs, like anything I get done, I get nothing decorated in Eastern Canada.
Starting point is 02:19:47 I just get it made. And then I bring it here, and I bring it to the closest printer that I've been to which is actually shit. Cale's getting a big shout out here tonight or whatever. Designs and designs out of Yorkton,
Starting point is 02:19:58 which is an hour away here, is the closest place that I can get this stuff printed. There's some local ladies here that do like small time cricket stuff or whatever and it's just they couldn't handle the volume that I needed and I needed embroidery and stuff done and so I wound up going to York and to kale there at these and so I get as much done as close to here as I can I get them I get them both made in Ontario and then I get him shipped to him because the same thing when I first went to him the reason that I know your Richardson hat is made in China is because those were the first
Starting point is 02:20:29 hats that I got was Richardson hats because I just went to him and got everything through him And he was like, okay, cool. So we brought him in. And then I was like, I want this stuff made in Canada. He's like, I don't have anybody. I'm not partnered with anybody. I don't know where I'd get it. So I ripped the top off the can and I found people that would make it in Canada.
Starting point is 02:20:47 And I got it all made and then shipped to him. And he did the decorating so that it still got him in on a piece of the pie, right? And so, and like I challenge you a little bit on when you go to my site and you say that it's expensive. Is a ball cap for 30 bucks expensive? No, but by the time. You pay shipping in taxes. It's a real bastard, right? Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 02:21:09 There's another part to that, which I've been waiting for now. I've changed things around. And this is when you buy shit that's online, you get to get a chip, and shipping sucks. So the reason I stuck with Canada Post is because actually I ship absolutely every piece of QDM official where out of the Tuffman Post Office. And Canada Post does not treat me very well out of the Tufno Post Office. But I'm trying to keep the toughness open when I do it kind of thing, right? So now what I've coordinated, which is hopefully going to be ready to go here by the time this new round of merch is ready to go is I've actually got it set up now. So that purulator and UPS are actually going to be, we've established the toughnil.
Starting point is 02:21:56 Well, I guess we can't tell anybody this, but we've established the toughno hall, which is actually the toughno post office as well as a pickup. as a pickup point for a purulator in UPS or whatever, right? Because I want to put some competition against Canada Post, which is basically a crown-owned corporation or whatever. I want to put some competition against them because I've been after him for a while. And I'm like, why can't you guys give me $10 flat rate shipping on all my stuff within Canada? I don't care what it cost to ship it outside of Canada. But I want $10 flat rate shipping because initially when I started all this stuff,
Starting point is 02:22:32 I was using a drop shipper out of Ontario to try and get it done, I did not want to continue to spend all of my money in Ontario and none of it here. So I've done everything I can to move it here. And I'm trying to get shipping in check. And that's, I kind of look at it as when I go to a lot of other people's websites, I see snapback trucker hats for sale for 40 and upwards of 40 bucks. Well, here, I will, I will give you a break on that because I went to a different company and I won't, I won't bash anyone. and I got this same hat, which I don't know what this hat costs.
Starting point is 02:23:12 Let's call it 15 bucks. That's probably high. Sorry, before embroidery, but like the actual hat. And it was 44 American to get shipped. Yeah. And I was like, oh, man, that's tough. Like all I want to do is I just want to make something that people want to wear and they can afford. I hear you, man.
Starting point is 02:23:33 And I want to support. business and but but but in saying that good old quick i knew if i asked you you're going to have an answer it wasn't going to be like no i support local and go fuck yourself it was like no i get it so i don't know i want to know who you got in manitoba because i'd like i think it's super cool i go back to heath mcdonald who is the crude master final five right had him on yeah he is a no nonsense guy and he has given me a line that I'll probably say to my kids for the rest of time. And he was talking about protesters, but you'll get a kick out of this. I hate protesters.
Starting point is 02:24:13 He said, if you're going to stand behind something, stand behind it. And I can only sit here and talk about how I view you. And I assume that I speak for a few people and that you stand behind it. And I find that really, I admire that. I think that's super cool. I appreciate it, man. If there's a way that I can make it all Canada and still have it come through the guys that I want to support around my area, I think that would be super cool.
Starting point is 02:24:40 I hear you. And that was kind of a line that I had to draw. But in all reality, like, yeah, if you're going to walk the walk and like I won't stop. Like, I will continue trying to improve it and trying to get it closer and closer and I feel like I've done better getting into Western Canada. I can't disclose my Manitoba guys yet because our deal is kind of still in the works a little bit. and it's going to be, I'm actually, I'm raising the price of production by bringing it to Manitoba so far.
Starting point is 02:25:07 And I'm going to have to start working quantities to see what I can do. But that's here nor there. And like, you won't see prices change on my website. And to be perfectly honest, like, I think if I'm selling a men's large bunny hug for 65 bucks that's made in Canada. That's a good deal, man. there will be people in the business and I am going to try my hardest to stay politically correct here and I'm probably not going to do it but I'm going to let her rip because
Starting point is 02:25:38 well in that case in that case we might as yeah you might as well product placement for us a little ribstone creek hey ribstone creek nice work uh great brewery yeah awesome so uh I got to work with these guys in Manitoba a little bit or And the amount of digging that it takes to find these places is insane. And the guy actually that I've got doing my hats right now is in Richmond, BC. And I'll name drop them. It's TriStar Headwear in Richmond, BC. And they do a great job.
Starting point is 02:26:10 And we are working not only on a made in Canada hat, we are working on a product of Canada hat. That means 98% of the cost of an article that is made that's labeled product of Canada occurred within the borders of Canada. That means that the twill wool that's on the front of these things was milled in Canada. Like that like in the plastic that's in your beats has been cut in Canada. A lot of people don't understand like how like how far you need to go to get product to Canada and we're not there yet. The next round coming in is made in Canada. We're working on product of Canada but we got to get costs in check. Right. So I just get I'm handcuffed a little bit because if I,
Starting point is 02:26:55 if I was just selling to people in Foam Lake, and that's why I moved some merch to Willie's liquor store in Foam Lake and some to Edfield Motors and Edfield, just because, yeah, people would be like, well, I'd love to buy one of your hats and the price is fine,
Starting point is 02:27:09 but I'm not paying shipping. And I'm like, well, just select local pickup if they're from around here on the website and all this, drop it off or you can pick it up at the post office and the top of the like, well, I don't want to drive the top. And I'm like,
Starting point is 02:27:20 okay, I get it, right? Because it's another 10 or 14 bucks. on top of something to get it shipped and then you got to give Scott Moe and Justin Trudeau their cut of what you're getting or whatever, right? And I get it. But I think for the true fan, like myself, like when I didn't have any hesitation of it. It was like, for example, I appreciate that, man. That sucks, but I'm going to do it because I really, really, well, it goes back to what I
Starting point is 02:27:45 just said, right? If you believe in something, stand behind it. And then you're a guy that, that I admire. I'm not trying to. Oh, geez. Well, I appreciate that. Not trying to play tummy sticks with you, as Mr. Brickette would say, right? I'm not trying to do that. But I just, like, to me, I just think, you know, to get the line bigger or maybe you don't even care, I don't know if you care. So, so what I will say here is like I would take, you look at big fashion companies, a big fashion designers and stuff like that.
Starting point is 02:28:14 And a lot of people, China is one of the main places that people will source out to offshore because they can get it done cheap because they have no labor laws. and they have no carbon tax and they have no pollution laws. They don't give a shit about anything. You're going to make it cheap and they're going to ship back to it. We're supposed to be sending sea cans full of chickpeas back to them last fall here or whatever. And they were demanding that sea cans come empty because the demand of product to come back to Canada was so huge that they didn't want them tied up to be loaded to chickpeas to go back there. That's where we're at with China.
Starting point is 02:28:46 Have you seen the images of how many sea cans are on the road there? Have you seen that picture? It's, it's fucked, man. Yeah, it's crazy. That is a light statement.
Starting point is 02:28:58 That isn't, like, you should, if you're listening, look up that picture. Holy Jesus. So all that aside, and like,
Starting point is 02:29:05 I mean, I'm not against, you know, getting clothes done in Mexico and the U.S. and Bangladesh. I mean, they buy a lot of crop
Starting point is 02:29:12 from us and everything. And like, in India and a few different places, you can look at some of these places. I'm more of you really get to look into how the products are made. and how the employees are treated that are making the products. And that's why I have chose to stick with made in Canada stuff because of our labor laws.
Starting point is 02:29:29 And there's a lot of people that are in the fashion industry. Like, I'm not going to talk dollar factors. But if I was telling you what I was turning for profit off of a $30 hat, anybody that's in the fashion industry or in any of this kind of merch industry would look at me and laugh their ass off. Yeah, but you jump. But I'm like, but that's not what I'm here to do. I'm not here to make a fortune off a merch or whatever, right?
Starting point is 02:29:52 all that set aside, if you keep working towards the stuff or whatever, you can get it all, I sourced it all, I got it done, there'd be some people look at me, be like, you know, for a Hank Prairie boy that just works on a farm or whatever, like you did pretty good sourcing this stuff out or whatever, and I'll be like, thanks very much. And you get it here and you send it out, you don't make that much money. But the matter of fact is I'm handcuffed here in Taffinil, because I've got people from the U.S. and from Lloyd Minster and from, you know, Taylor, BC and out in 10 different towns in Ontario that want to buy my stuff. And yeah, I get a lot of people are like, well, shipping's expensive.
Starting point is 02:30:33 And I'm like, well, drop by toughnull and pick it up then. You know what I mean? Like, how do you win that? You really don't, right? I got to be honest, you probably don't. And that's why we've left it to the end of the podcast, because I thought, I thought, it's tough because I really admire what you're doing. I really do. And I go, you know, and maybe I'm selling myself short. Maybe I'm selling yourself short. But when you can go into a store anywhere and buy, I don't know, give me a hat,
Starting point is 02:31:17 fucking Toronto Blue Jays hat. Let's go something like that for 30 bucks and watch. out with it, but you don't need to order it on. It's just everywhere. Or you want to get one of these or one of them and it's going to cost more than that. I just, I, I, I may, and maybe I'm wrong on that. And I really, I think what people admire about you quick. And I'm talking about myself too and why there was no hesitation is I, I get like, no, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to follow it through. I'm going to do the research. I'm going to try and make it 100% out of Canada. And there's something cool to be said about that. Yeah, I really feel there is too. And I, I, I, I,
Starting point is 02:31:51 I feel like more people need to do that. And I feel like more people will continue to jump on that bandwagon. Damn, man, right down to, I had to go, I was, I was putting some merch out at Edfield Motors today. And I needed some hangers. And so I went down to the, to the home hardware in Foam Lake here or whatever. And, uh, and I literally looked at where the hangers were made before I bought them. And I'll be damned if they didn't have clothes hangers made in Canada.
Starting point is 02:32:16 I bought the bastards. But like, I'm to the point where I check absolutely every. label that I buy and if it says made in China I'll leave it on the shelves if it says made in China I don't need it I just leave it and that's sad that that's where I'm at but that's where I'm at I don't know if that's sad
Starting point is 02:32:34 I will not support manufacturing in a country that is holding two Canadians in prison charges that they haven't disclosed and they're a bunch of thugs and I'm I will not support China at all whatsoever.
Starting point is 02:32:53 They won't even buy our canola direct from us. We've got to ship it through two different countries for them to buy our canola from us. Like, I don't know why we put up with this shit, but I'm like, I'm making my stand. And we're going to continue with our federal government to make it next to impossible to run businesses here in Canada and to manufacture things in Canada here. And like, why are we waiting on the rest of the world to bring us vaccines right now? Why are we not making vaccines? Why don't we have contract signed that we can make vaccines here in Canada? it's we need to to be able to make things and not rely on the rest of the world,
Starting point is 02:33:27 not rely on the U.S. to ship our oil and gas products through, like we need to be Canada. And if my tiny, tiny little stance that I make is with quick dick bunny hugs and t-shirts that you buy, well, God damn it, man, I'm making that stand and I'm going to make it. Well, you know what I mean? And I appreciate absolutely every single person that, that buys it and orders it and and just thank you for the bottom of my heart. Break down to my boxes,
Starting point is 02:33:53 I have found a Canadian manufacturer to make my cardboard boxes and tape. My fucking tape, Sean, is made in Canada now. Well, I'm telling you, you're going to get more hats sold off of that than I am off of, I'm doing it, you know, like, I think you win the argument. You're supporting a local business.
Starting point is 02:34:11 I'm not arguing against support. I understand. I completely understand. These are opportunities where you can take local businesses and that's what I've done with a few of these guys that I've used around here is I've introduced them to some of these manufacturers that I've found and they're like, well, shit, you know? Here's here's a thing that came up on a podcast couple, well, it originated from an argument
Starting point is 02:34:34 that me and a brother got. You never get in arguments with your brothers, I'm sure. Never been in one with them in my life. That's right. I've said some pretty harsh words and I had to call and apologize and no worries, mom, it's all solved. We're all good. but he said a line to me
Starting point is 02:34:49 and all, uh, brother Dustin, he, uh, he said something that is stuck with me and I, I see it in you and I see it in people that are, you know,
Starting point is 02:34:59 that if you're going to stand behind something, stand behind it, right? Is where's the line? So where is the line for you? And that can mean a lot of different things. And I see it with you and I see with different people in, whether it's lockdowns,
Starting point is 02:35:12 right? Like, uh, I love, I love the fact that, uh, some small, town restaurants we're like, this isn't right anymore.
Starting point is 02:35:19 Like, we need to be open. And it's not sitting here having a parade of a thousand people in, but you keep us locked down for too much longer. We're not going to have anything to walk back to. Yeah. So I think of Bashar opening up and now Alberta's going to loosen things and things like that. Like that's cool. But not enough people think where's the line?
Starting point is 02:35:39 And that's a tough question to answer. It's going to push you to your beliefs. It really isn't. Like we're really lucky in Saskatchewan. there'd be some people that might listen to this that might debate me and might be mad at me or whatever. But we never went back to full, complete lockdown here after the very first one, everybody declared states of emergency, locked everything down, and then everybody had a reopening plan or whatever kind of thing. We've never gone back from ours. And our active caseloads
Starting point is 02:36:06 are starting to go down. I mean, we, the Saskatchewan numbers have been higher, highest in Canada for a little while. And I, I really hope that they continue to go down the level back out with everybody else with us having left restaurants and businesses and things. I think we had casinos and bingo halls that they went back on and say, hey, we got to shut those down kind of thing. We've let some practices going with hockey teams. And I really hope that we continue on the track that we're on because it would be great to come out of this and having us have been a province that did give small businesses the opportunity to stay open and try and make. a little bit of a living through this. And hopefully we can all come out in the same shape at the end of it, whether that's what's
Starting point is 02:36:52 going to happen or not. I'm not sure. But I'm just in the same sense, glad that I'm not a medical professional right now that's that's trying to help navigate through something so new right now. And that's where the Saskatchewan here, specifically Dr. Sikibh Shahab has had a lot of flak. And I don't think that's right. And it's just a lot of medical professionals.
Starting point is 02:37:16 that are trying to help navigate through a lot of shit that people don't know a lot about at this point in time. And they're just trying to do best case scenario and try and make things happen. And I just on a little bit of a side note, I know we're probably getting close to wrapping here, but I can't imagine being a doctor in our new day and age where you have people coming in that have Googled what's wrong with them and they know what's wrong with them. And they're just coming for you to either cut into them or to give you a prescription kind of thing. and I'm like I can't imagine me at a doctor I'm not going to disclose exactly where it is but I have a doctor very very very close within my family and and I've asked her this question many times and she's like oh my god she's like it's insane and she's like it's really a part of how you have to
Starting point is 02:38:09 it's even stuff that they have started covering in medical school now or whatever is is is like how to deal with people that already know what they have. Like, you know, patient mannerisms and stuff like that. But I have so much respect for doctors. I, some of them I don't, but like 90% of them I do because we live in a world where everybody seems to think that they know absolutely everything. And if you're a person that knows absolutely everything and you know what's wrong with you, you know what's going on.
Starting point is 02:38:40 Well, why are you even going to a doctor if you know what's going on? get a bottle of whiskey and get out a scalpel and cut into yourself and get yourself fixed. You know what I mean? Like that kind of stuff is a little bit scary to be a doctor and try and navigate through these times with everybody having their own opinion, right? I would say that at the end of the day, they're not the government. I hold the government accountable for everything we're going through. Absolutely.
Starting point is 02:39:08 That's good or bad? That's where it's at. no point in ragging on a nurse or telling a nurse or a doctor like they're just they're trying to do what all of us are trying to do they're they're doing their job i'm i'm i'm gonna go out tomorrow and i'm gonna cut strings on a bail and freeze my balls off and try and feed a bunch of miserable pissed off calves and ax out a bunch of frozen watering goals before okay we're closing in on the final five i'm about to put us there but before we get there i got to ask does qd m have valentine's day plans since they're just around the corner Yeah, I'm going to spend it the same way. Special meal for all the girls, you know, we'll do a little bit of silence, a little bit of barley. Maybe a little bit of minerals mixed in there a little bit, some, yeah, we'll give them real nice. Maybe a little bit of extra bedding kicking around for them should be really nice. Two dogs, so we'll feed them.
Starting point is 02:40:05 I got some sausage that I've been keeping in the freezer. So I'm going to give the dog sausage. It's actually year old sausage that's freezer burnt that needs to get used up anyways. But they'll get that. And yeah, man. Oh, God. No, no. Well, all right, then.
Starting point is 02:40:27 That's fair. That's fair. No, I'm still flying single. I have no, I basically have no love life. And I think COVID has kind of hampered that a little bit. You realize. It's not that I'm not shopping. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:40:40 I won't say last names, but a lady named Lara came, well, not specifically. I don't know how this stuff happened. But it got told me like Laura says, Laura says she'll gladly be a QDM's date for Valentine's Day. And I'm like, what am I supposed to do with that? She's like, I don't know. Just tell them. I'm like, duh. Well, give Laura my damn number, you dummy.
Starting point is 02:41:05 Like, what are you? You don't know how this works? I got to hook a brother up. I got to hook a brother up. All right. Well, let's do this. We've been talking for a long-ass time. Let's do, and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Starting point is 02:41:18 Let me be very good. Me too, man. Always enjoy having a chat with you, man. Well, let's do the Crude Master Final Five. Shout out to Heath and Tracy McDonald. Five questions. Now on to question number 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. I may have doubled a couple up in there because, well, so be it.
Starting point is 02:41:35 Here we go. what is your favorite thing to do in minus 40? I honestly, I like seeing how much collective ice I can get in the beard. It's like it's like a fucking challenge every single time. It's like you get in and I'll even look at like there's when you walk up to the door of the shop, like I'll stop and like inspect and see how much ice I've got in the beard kind of thing because eventually when you're out in the cold you got to keep track of something. There'll be times where I'll start, like, walking harder than I normally do to try and get more breath going to see how much beard ice I can get going on.
Starting point is 02:42:13 So it's a battle of the beard. Beard ice. Yeah. What's one subject that you haven't talked about yet with your videos that you want to talk about? Oh, man. Jeez. I feel like I kind of talk about whatever I want to talk about. I guess it would be one that I'm actually working towards whatever will be.
Starting point is 02:42:41 I kind of want to talk about the positive sides to green energy versus the negative sides kind of thing or whatever, which I've always up until this point just focused on the negative. And like, yeah, I think that's, I just, I want to bring around a few of the positive sides to because there are some. There's not many, but there's some. And we need to consider them. So yeah, I guess that would be that would be it. The correct answer was small town hockey. but hey, that's just... I'm not a hockey guy, man.
Starting point is 02:43:14 I'm probably... You know what? I am the worst sports guy on planet. I can't believe you have me on the Sean Newman podcast. That's right. Look over the shoulders. The answer was, let's talk about some small town hockey. Zero points for Quick Dick.
Starting point is 02:43:28 But hey, okay. All right, yeah, I'm not Pattonbury. If you were to do a commercial, said company said, hey, quick dick, we want you to represent us. Which company... do you think it would be? Like your most directs? Yeah, hands down.
Starting point is 02:43:45 Directs? No, not Derek's. I would, I think it would, I think it would be great for both me and BMA to, like, I would do a Dodge commercial tomorrow.
Starting point is 02:43:58 Like, I know I run Morty's 94 Ford. Like, I get it or whatever, but I would do a Dodge commercial tomorrow because I'm kind of a hardcore Mopar guy. All right, all right. or freight liner one or the other because there's so many guys out there that like Peter Bill at Kent with you dude I drove I I owned a freightliner for years and years and years or whatever I love freight liners man my my there's a lot of guys there's a lot of guys
Starting point is 02:44:25 that are pushing end on the podcast right now I was just going to well I don't know if listen on father's day on father's day I'm going to have my father and I wanted to have them on this father's day and he said oh you've been having guys on like like, you know, whoever. I'm not, don't got that. But this guy has stories. He's a great storyteller. And I will make sure I bring up trucking and what type of truck he wants or likes just for you.
Starting point is 02:44:52 Because growing up, all I had heard was Kenworth, Peterbilt, blah, blah, blah, cat. You get him in there. You get him ripping on me, man. Actually, I like it when people rip on me. It's fun. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right.
Starting point is 02:45:06 If you could go back to one, uh, conversation in history. Where do you think you'd go? Like in all of history? Yeah. Holy shit, that's a big question. I know it is. I know what it is,
Starting point is 02:45:22 but I gotta have one of those. I would go back to whoever the hell it was that made the caramel milk bar and get figured out why in the fuck it was going to be such a big secret. Like, why was their marketing scheme to be never let them know how we get the caramel milk inside the caramel bar. Why can't have it just be like, here's how we do it, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:45:42 That's brilliant marketing. That's brilliant marketing. I guess. How many times did you open up the rapper and be like, where's the secret? I never looked because I knew it wasn't going to be in there. I just got in there. Well, I'm the dummy who's looking every time.
Starting point is 02:45:57 I was like, nah, crap. In 2050, what will we look back at is absolutely hilarious? us. We let Justin Trudeau run our country for two terms. Two terms. I hope it's not three. Here's Sean throwing a softball to quick dick to smack out of the park. Thank you, sir, for hopping back on for round number four. It's been, it's always fun. Oh, man.
