What the hell is up with water? Our clouds even real. This is an honest question we need to ask ourselves. Are they a government plan? What is going on? Because steam boils at 100 degrees Celsius. Okay? That's where steam comes from.

But like, if you're cooking something, it'll be less than 100. Like you've got that hot plate sitting in front of you. It's not literally boiling food that you're eating. But it's still got steam coming off of it. Steam just comes out of the oceans and goes into the clouds. How is it steam? It's not boiling. And especially not all the way up there where it's like minus fucking 40.

Why doesn't it just immediately fall out? Why do we even have clouds? Somebody explain this to me like I'm five. Well, maybe we'll get that person on. Welcome to the mashup folks, 101. Coming to you in the afternoon at a different time, a different feel, a different look. Tooze. How you doing, sir?

It's been a. Hectic day. Hectic day, but I made it here just in time. Photo finish. How about you, buddy? I don't know. I was excited for this. Two mashups in a week.

We've never done that before. And obviously, we've been talking about new time, new place, new look. And, you know, obviously we're not going to be doing it 2 o'clock every Friday. We're planning on doing in the mornings, yep, starting next week. And we'll see how that goes. So, I don't know. I'm excited. You know, we passed 100.

you know, goal post on Monday. And now it's, now and it's, you know, keep on, keep it on. So, uh, mashup one-on-one? Yeah, dude, want-a-one. What? Is this the first headline?

Are you bringing me already in the first headline? No, it's mashup 101. It's mash-up 101. Have you, have you ever been to 101? One-on-one? No, I can't say I've ever been to one-on-one. Well, because it's on mile 101, 101, one-one on the way

up to Anchorage. Okay. I'm learning new things. That's where 101 gets its name. 101. 101. All right. Well, I tell you what, before we get rolling here,

Coots, two, 782 days. That's Carbert and Olianak in there. Pleasantly unexpected. Let's rock. Yeah, you got it, Eddie. Eddie's a petty. Rock, indeed.

Pleasantly unexpected. I mean, we've been talking about this now for like close to a month, haven't we? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. It doesn't matter. All right.

Well, we got a hot hour coming at you. We got a bunch of headlines shorter than, I mean, obviously we've done two of them this week. So it's a little different than the first going on. But there's no, there's no shortage. No shortage. No shortage. Yeah, there's no shortage. Okay.

Chase is on. That must be the dad. I gave me about 17 seconds to come up. Chase is on the case. All right. While we bring in Chase Barber, I'm going to eat my lunch. All right. So here's the first.

Here's the first headline. Okay. Chase is on the case. BC's three opposition parties ununited this week to demand the auditor general probe a so-called kickback scheme involving one of the companies responsible for administering millions of dollars of government grants to clean technology projects. BC United, BC Green, and BC Conservative MLA has voted for an independent probe of the accounting firm MNP, which the government is hired to administer at least two grant programs, which is also facing allegations. It demanded so-called success fees of high as 20 percent of the grant. amount to help the firm win money. At least one company has gone public with its concerns. Merit-based Edison Motors, a new startup that is building electric semi-trucks used for logging, and which sought provincial aid to expand its operations.

Instead of reading the quote, we just thought maybe we'd bring Sir Chase in. That's right. Chase, how's it going today? Oh, not bad, not bad. That's funny you brought up 101 because our first hybrid diesel electric project we actually did was at 101 BC. Nice. Well, apparently the odds were 100%. I guess.

Or one to one. Now, Hi, Case. Nice to meet you. Okay. So you talked about this on the blue collar roundtable when you were on a podcast probably like two weeks ago. Now it's in the news. Can I just say real quick that during that blue table route, blue collar round table when I was

listened to it, I'm like, that's kind of. an interesting thing to say. Is he going to back that up? Because you kind of let into it at the start. And I'm like, it's kind of a big statement to make. Where's this going? And then as it went, I'm like, holy shit. This is probably the biggest story that's broke ever on the S&P.

I'm guessing. You know, we're not talking about the MNP. We're talking about the S&P. Yeah. Not to get confused here, folks. So, Chase, give it, give it to the mashup group. Let's hear. What's going on?

in BC in the green world in funding. I don't know. You tell the story. Yeah. So it was kind of a funny story. Like I said, the only people I actually mentioned this to you was on your podcast because that government that we were talking to was like,

yeah, don't, don't mention this publicly, but, you know, felt comfortable around you. But yeah. So the basic gists of,

I think it was Quick Dick McDick. 100% Quick Dick, got it out of me. But 100% what's going on right now is so we've applied for a lot of government grants and one of the government grant was the commercial vehicle innovation challenge that we have never gotten a government grant even though we've been applying for years the commercial vehicle innovation challenge was for companies in british columbia building electric heavy duty commercial trucks we are the only company in bc doing that and we got denied for the grant no you guys aren't eligible and we met with them and they said that Our timeline was too aggressive. We were going to get the project done too quickly, and we weren't going to spend enough money. And also there was...

The governments hate everything you have to offer, don't they? Right. A couple clerical issues. I mean, the paperwork writing is probably accurate. We're truck drivers. But we noticed something interesting. The email we got back was at MNP, which is a company that we remembered reached out to us before. to ask about writing our grants.

And we told MMP that, no, sorry, you're way too much. They wanted crazy high amounts to write some paperwork. Like insanely high amounts. So we said, no, that's too much money. Sorry, we're not interested. Then they administered this grant program.

The next grant program we met with, they administered, they turned us down into the grant. Then we had another meeting with them after that. And they're like, hey, see, I think your chances would increase. a fair bit if we wrote your grants. Don't you think we would be better writing your grants? We administer some of the grants.

I think you'd have better chances if you paid that money that we're asking for. They're like, oh, I guess that's how we got to do it. Oh, that's a real nice company there. It'd be a shame if something was to happen on towards it. It's a real nice electric company. It would be a real shame if we didn't write your grants. and your company didn't happen to get funded by our government programs, eh? Don't be a MOOC.

Right, right. And we went down. So after that, we had got our license plate on. And that's right when I came on your podcast. So we went down the day before, and the government introduced us to the legislative assembly. The United Conservatives came down. They're like, we'd love to introduce you guys to Edison Motors. They're building this hybrid electric truck into the legislative building.

and basically they just welcomed us. Afterwards, they met with us for, they had a little coffee reception for the duke-a-bors who were there. They met us at this coffee reception. They said, hey, why don't you come talk? We'd look and talk about your experiences, learn more about your truck. We actually went up to the Ministers of Mine and Clean Energy's office,

and we said, she asked us, or he asked us, sorry, we met with that couple of the guys and the advisors and members of her thing. She couldn't actually make it. There was another girl there, but it wasn't the minister herself. So I don't want to get that confused. But we met with the people from her office. They asked about, hey, what's going on?

We told them about this. And they said, oh, that doesn't sound right at all. We would love to learn more and investigate. And we sent them the information we had. They said, thank you. We're definitely going to look into this. And I'm like, yeah, we want to kind of go. Like, we want to tell people about this.

Like, this is ridiculous that this is going on. She's like, no, no, he's like, no, don't, don't tell anybody. like um don't take the thing we're going to investigate this we're going to look into it like it would look bad on Edison if you're ruffling the feathers let us investigate

we're the government that's what we do that's our responsibility and we're like oh perfect they're going to we also met with the United Conservatives and the Green Party we told them the same thing they said like hey yeah don't say anything yet

like we're going to look into this and so after we voted it down well we met with the minister's office and it gets crazier is that a few hours after meeting with her office we had a speaking engagement at an event that they were running so after we're like hey we're going to tell people about this next week we were supposed to speak at their event and they canceled our speaking engagement be like no you're not allowed to speak publicly which i mean would be unfortunate because there is no way that i could get my voice out without

speaking at a government events i don't think they realized that yeah yeah on god i don't don't need to say it at your government event. But anyway, they cancel my speaking engagement. And then the next day or a day or so later that minister's office announced that MNP is going to be in charge of doing the economic assessment of grant activity. In other words, let's look at where the grant money is being spent and is it being spent effectively and recommending future grant funding opportunities. So not only did they not investigate, the very next day they turned around being like, hey, here's way more stuff. We're going to give them way more money and way more work.

Yeah. To investigate themselves. Yeah. Now, just going off the liberal track record, I'm not optimistic that they're going to find much. Well, yeah, no, no, I'm sure there's nothing there because, you know, they said that they were going to investigate. And all of the other political parties we met with said, yo, there's definitely something here worth investigating.

like based on what you guys have and then other they started investigating and as they said in the papers more companies started coming forward saying very similar things so they're like okay it's not even just one company there's multiple companies coming ahead now this needs to have a government investigation we want the government to we're requesting the government to investigate and then the nbp yesterday had a vote and blocked a government investigation into their program they all got up and voted that no, you cannot investigate this. I mean, at least it's on brand for them. I guess, but like, it's very...

Would there be any avenue for criminal or civil investigation? I don't know. I'm not a government legislator or legal expert. They said that there's still ways that they could possibly look into it if the government decides that it wants to do its own investigation. but that would require somebody from the office saying like, you know what, I'll just take that on myself. But I don't know how it works. They blocked it, but there's still other ways that it can somehow. But it's very frustrating because in the paper that came out

and the official minister's office, she's like, we would have loved it if the evidence had it came to their office. And like, I literally posted a video. I'm like, here's me standing in your office. Like, in your office. please. Like, your guys took the picture

of me in your office telling you this. And now you're going out to the reporters and be like, I really wish somebody had a game. You can't be that stupid and then they just take it

to a new level of stupid. Yeah. Like, ugh, they're just, they're not a serious party. Ah. Okay,

so what's, um, have you been, so that, this was in the orca, which is fairly local, if I'm not mistaken. Uh,

as it's been picked up by anybody else. Are there, uh, have you been getting any, any other interest from media other than the Tuesday mashup? I talked with Rob there from the Orca and then I'll talk with you guys and

I mean maybe some other people but they uh yeah so I've talked to a couple people I did a little video on it and I don't know maybe I should have just shut up because no yeah because that's Chase that's going so well for us in this country maybe we should all just shut up may well it would have been a lot

smarter because I'm still in my parents' basement. I feel like if I, like, had a went along with the government grant program. You'd have several million dollars. Take the millions of dollars from the government grant. I could have moved out of the basement and maybe started building trucks a little quicker,

but morally, it felt fucking wrong. So good on you, by the way. Yes. I mean, it's one thing for schlubs like us to be like, oh yeah, you need to fight the man and not take the millions of dollars. But I don't know, if it was the number of millions of dollars i'd be like piece out

motherfuckers we know everybody knows twos can be bought off at this point yes yes so see who disappears from the mashup we know where he went all of some shan's gone mashups just i am not sad i am not sad i am not depressed i'm quite happy things are going quite well with edison good i feel like probably say that publicly after like the

boeing thing well we appreciate you coming on and updating us uh with this if there's anything new that comes up. I'm hoping, you know, because we're, we're, we're this little cult media thing now where probably somebody's watching. They're hearing this and they're going, nobody's talked to you about this. Doesn't this feel like, I don't know, maybe Rebel News should reach on out or others to?

Everybody should. I'm just saying, like, everyone? TV, Global, if they actually wanted to do their job. Yeah, they're not going to do their job. Now, they're not doing their job. They're not doing it. So I can't, they're getting paid by the same people that are, covering this up the fact they all walked out isn't that a story in itself that should be

headline news well we appreciate you coming on chase we'll kick you out of here if anything uh please keep us updated because if there's other things we'll bring you right back and uh glad to have you back on to update us you'll betcha thanks for having me on show i i really applaud what you're doing here by the way oh thank you thank you all right that's chase barber from uh innocent motors of course if you want to go listen to the blue collar roundtable folks that's on the s MP, not to be confused with the MNP, Sean Newman podcast, you can go there, you can listen to that Blue Color Roundtable.

It's, uh, I mean, it's blue color roundtable two, if memory serves me correct. Chase Barber, uh, quick Dick, McDick, and the crackpot farmer were on, uh, a virtual on.

And he, that's where he first started talking about that. I was like, this is, this is wild now to see it, uh, they're like, we're not investigating herself.

Yeah. Oh, you should have told us about it. Motherfucker, here's the picture of me telling you about it. Oh, my god, Canada. What are we doing?

I just, I got to say, he said something that reminded me of something. So, uh, he was talking about how they, they had that thing with the Dukabors. I was like in my 30s before I found out that Dukabors was actually like a specific group of people.

I thought it was just like a generic swear word like, like, like fucking idiot. Because that's just how everybody talked around where I grew up. It'd be like all that fucking Dukabor's. It kind of sounds like it was always in such a disparaging tone that I just assumed it was idiot. All right.

What do you got for me? Well, I thought that was good. It was great. That was great. The NDP are not a growing party. Three new Democrats have announced they won't be running for re-election in battleground regions where Pierre Pollyev's conservative's hope to gain. Charlie Angus, who was represented Tim and James Bay for two decades. Can you believe that?

Two decades. MP Rachel Blaney, her riding of North Island, Powell River, and Carol Hughes, riding of Algoma, Manitoulin Capus casing since 2017. She will also not run in the next election. Thursday's announcement means six MPs and the NDPs, 25 member caucus are either not seeking re-election or currently losing their riding to upcoming boundary changes. So six, there you go. They're changing.

That's federally. Obviously, I assume people know that. Yeah. So Charlie Angus, you remember when we talked about him a few weeks ago, how he put forth the bill trying to say that it was illegal to say nice things about oil and gas? Correct. Yeah, that guy. who totally hasn't lost touch with regular people, uh,

and is now slated to lose in what's at absolute NDP stronghold, northern Alberta, or pardon me, northern Ontario. He's now projected to lose. And it's just going to get worse as time keeps going. So yeah, he says,

I'm going to bow out gracefully. And it's funny, they all said the classic line. They're like, they're all going to be spending more time with their family. Yeah, 100%. All right. I wish all the liberals in NDP would be able to spend more time with their family.

Kids can grow out of being trans, but they can't grow it back. Researchers at the Netherlands University. That's about their penis. It's about their penis? I didn't put two and two together, although today's world two and two equals five, so I don't know if I get that anyways. Netherlands University of Groningen recently released the results of a landmark 15-year study of 2,700 children, starting at age 11. They tracked the gender non-contendedness of these children over the years and found,

quote, in early adolescence, 11% of participants reported gender non-contentidness. The prevalence decreased with age and was about 4% at the last follow-up around age 26. The researchers concluded gender non-contentedness, while being relatively common during early adolescence in general decreases with age and appears to be associated with a poorer self-concept and mental health throughout development. In other words, most of the children in the study were feeling gender dysphoric in their awkward teenage years had shaken that off and adjusted by early adulthood, and their dysphoria was associated with bad self-esteem and mental health problems.

Switch over to the National Post here in our Fearless Canada, and you got a lengthy legal battle that could lead to more requests for individually customized, unorthodox gender-affirming surgeries, Say that 10 times fast. And Ontario resident... I don't think we should ever have to say it once, Sean. That's the problem. And Ontario resident is seeking publicly funded surgery to reconstruct a vagina while preserving the penis. I can't make that up.

That's a national post story. That is happening. Call me crazy, Sean. But if you think that my tax dollars should pay for you to have a penis and a vagina, you can go fuck yourself. Alex Jones has entered the chat. Alex Jones, this is on Twitter, folks. I'll bring it up here nice and quick.

I think I haven't, maybe. Here we go. So this is what Alex Jones says. Been following this guy for years, and he is the real deal. Canada desperately needs a lot more leaders like him, and so does the rest of the world. Do you want me to play the clip Tuesday, 49 seconds?

Would you like the people here? Maybe, yeah? Okay, yeah, sure. It is a good clip. I might surprise you to hear me say that? He's not a liberal. Liberals used to believe in liberty, and conservatives believed in conserving it.

That was the common sense consensus we had in Canada. Justin Trudeau does not believe in liberty. He believes in government control. He wants to control your money. He wants to control your kids. He wants to control the economy. Control your speech. Control your bank account.

He wants to control everything. that is illiberal. It's the opposite of liberalism. I don't want to run your life. I want to run your government. A government that does a few things well, rather than a lot of things poorly, a government that minds its own business

and lets people live their lives. That is the traditional... That's a hell of a good clip. And it's going to play again, is it? There you go. Yeah, it's funny, though. I mean, he really kind of missed the boat on being more vocal about that

in the past several years. Pierre Poliev? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean. Yeah.

He runs his life by the polls, too. Yeah. And then you've got Alex Jones saying he's the real deal. And you're like, come on, Alex. Like, if you've been paying close attention, you'd realize that he does live his life by the polls. He timed his entrance into the leadership so that because in Canada, we don't vote people in. We vote them out.

Like, oh, let's just let's just let's. that that stoolie O'Toole take the fall. All right. Now I'll just swoop in afterwards and be the savior. Oh, I'm going to say the things that people have been wanting to hear for a while and people are going to love me. And it's like, he ran on a carbon tax in the last election. And now he's like, I'm going to get rid of the carbon tax. And so here's the thing is that the polling data changes in Toronto in some significant way.

Is he going to go be pro vaccine again? Maybe. I don't know. like people have their different perspectives. Some people think he's great. Some people think he sucks. I just think he is doing every, if he was trying to be a fair weather,

if he was trying to be a fair weather politician, going whichever way the wind blow to try and further his power, he wouldn't have done anything differently in any of the timeline that he's been on so far. He's just a politician. And he is a popular politician in conservative circles because he's saying the things

that people have wanted to be said. I've been wanting to hear something like that for years. Yes. Absolutely. Absolutely. But it kind of loses its credibility. So anyway, that's my take. Recall wrap up.

Of course, this is from the Calgary Herald. We all know the mayor Jody Gondack, how many signatures they had signed, all that good stuff. Here is the official tally. they had 72,271. There you go. That's Landon Johnson down with the-

170,000. So it's almost half of the people who voted for her are saying, no, we don't want her. And I mean, there was a lot of blowback. You had these bullshit articles in the Calgary Herald. Well, this is what the Calgary Herald writes. Consider Calgary Mary Jody, uh,

Mayor Jody Gondack and the racism, sexism, and misogyny that has dogged her for years. now under the guise of criticizing her style and leadership, some guys endeavoring to catch enough signatures on a petition to have her recalled. I mean, that isn't why he's trying to get, it isn't because she's a woman he's trying to have her recalled. I mean, the people trying to recall Gondack are presumably there's a big overlap with the same people who voted for Danielle Smith.

And both of those people have boobs. Sean, they do. The right out in front. Yeah. But this article, sexism, racism still lurking the shadows as Gondek faces recall petition. And then it says, I can make this assumption about the underlying sexism waged against Gondek and hold this opinion for a simple reason. Been there, done that, lived through outright sexism. And this whole thing is her talking about other instances where sexism was the thing that exists.

Therefore, this recall petition is sexism. It's just grasping at straws. And so even with all. all that headwind with them saying like, well, you know, you can't be sure what they're going to do with the data. And lots of people who work for the city or work with the city saying, well, you know what, I don't want my name on that thing because I don't want to take the chance of facing any repercussions.

Right. And even with all of that, they still got 72,000 signatures. And so Lannon, if you're listening, well done, man. And Lannum was on the show probably about three weeks ago, I want to say, to tell us to tell us about that. So, yeah, like, I mean, um, recall is not true recall. And the fact this article says recall shouldn't be in there.

What a bunch of, what a bunch of just malarkey. Um, carry on. UCP leads from the front. This is Chris Sims, uh, Canadian taxpayer federation. This might be the first time we've ever read one of their things. I could be wrong. I could be wrong. No, we've done a few, uh, Franco things.

But this is the first. This is the first Chris one we've done. Okay, so shout out to Chris. Yeah, well, she's a bit on guest on here multiple times. And of course, listens to the show. This is, here's what it says. Pay for politicians at the Alberta legislature has been frozen since 2019 when they also took a $7,000 per year pay cut.

In contrast, the mayor of Calgary has paid $213,000 per year. And the mayor of Emmington paid $216,000 a year. These high salaries fall years of pay hikes at City Hall for both counselors. And mayors quoted Chris Sanchez. Premier Daniel Smith is making the right move to refuse a pay hike, and it would be great to see the mayors of Calgary and Emmington follow this lead. We never hesitate to criticize politicians, but it's important to praise them when they do the right thing and refusing a pay hike is the right thing. So there's Chris Sims quoted about Alberta and its politicians. Absolutely.

And I know that this is a bit of a departure, because usually when we bring up the UCP, we're shit talking something that they're doing. but hats off to them. Well done. I'm impressed. Shane, if you're listening, I appreciate this very much. EVs have trouble starting. Ford Canada announced Thursday that is delayed electric vehicle production at its Oakville Assembly plant until 2027, pushing it back two years.

Quoted as the number two EV brand in the U.S. for the past two years, we are committed to scaling a profitable EV business using capital wisely and and bringing to market the right gas, hybrid, and fully electric vehicles at the right time, Jim Farley, Ford president, CEO said, in a press release. And then here's Peter McCaffrey. On Twitter, he said, Unifor refused to sign a new contract with Ford unless they agreed to convert their Oakville plant to make electric vehicles because the union has been ideologically hijacked and believed the environment activist hype. So Ford moved the production of an existing vehicles to try to make.

Mexico and started working on plans for EVs, but EVs aren't popular and aren't selling. So now they're delaying those plans. So now there's nothing for uniform members to build at all. I mean, you hate to see an ideologically hijacked organization just kick itself in the, in the ass like that. It's just, it's, it's, it's a damn shame. Interesting thing, though, about that Tyga, Tago, whatever. Shame is O'Regan.

Tyga expects to have a market cap of this is when shame is O'Oregon was. James O'Regan was announcing all of the government grants that they were giving to the snowmobile people, presumably because they worked with Myers-Norris-Penny. TIG expects to have a market cap of $537 million. The valuation includes a $100 million investment from a group led by a northern private capital, Toronto-based private equity fund. Markets are moving. Investors are moving. And they're moving to companies that are lowering emissions. not according to them who their market valuation has gone down 97.74% in the last five years.

Yeah. Well, what Tuesday's talking about money runs out. What Tuesday's talk about is in Quebec, Montreal-based electric snowmobile manufacturer, Tagga Motors says it is pausing production and temporary laying off around 70 workers. It went on to say it says it lost. A net loss was 72.5 million in 2023 compared to a

loss of $59.5 million in 2022. So they are bleeding money to. Oh, absolutely. And here's the thing is the only way I would ever buy an electric snowmobile would be if I could give it to one of our politicians.

You're like, just take it for a spin. Just go. Just go. Send him up into the north. Yeah, there's charging stations up there. It's electric. It's electric and you believe in electric, right? Well, yes, I believe an electric. I I'll give it a try.

And then next time he can't answer a question in question period, he can literally say that he's stumped. You better take a picture of it because they seem to lie through their teeth, as Chase would point out. They literally took a picture. You should probably take a picture of it to make sure they can't backtrack because they seem to do a awful lot of that. Yep. We're going to need a rope. In a heist of biblical proportions, thieves pilfered around 30, million in cash from a Los Angeles area

vault on Easter Sunday, and no one even noticed the empty vault until the next morning. The thieves accessed the facility through the roof and managed to avoid setting off any alarms. Footage on the facility on Wednesday showed what appeared to be a gaping hole, though, in the side of the building while a pile of debris next to it.

Though it was unclear if that damage stem from the break-in, they said. Yeah, somebody stole $30 million from an unmarked guarder warehouse. So this isn't even like one of their trucks. This is their stronghold. And it's just this low key building that just happened to have a giant freaking vault in it. And someone knew how to get in. And the safe didn't show any signs of tampering.

So they totally just sleuth their way in. Apparently they got in through the roof, hence the need for a rope. And then they may or may not have exited through the giant gaping hole on the side. I hope they used some explosives because why do you have an explosives guy in your crew if you're not going to use them? And so, and then they made off like a bandit. I mean, it's great. Although I do hate when people say such and such of biblical proportions. Like what,

what, what is it about this heist that was biblical proportions? Did, uh, did one of them steal an apple? Right. I mean, did they,

did they make their escape by parting the red sea? Come on. I know, I know, uh, the town isn't, uh, perfect,

um, you know, the, but it kind of feels like, you know, a little, uh, they picked on Easter.

They knew everybody, be, had their guard down. and they just, they have no idea. 30 million out the door at the stronghold. Doesn't that feel like? Well, the town, they were ripping off the trucks themselves, though, weren't they? I know.

I agree. I agree. But at the end, they go to the Boston Red Sox Stadium and, yeah, they go to Fenway and they take the stronghold, they're dressed as cops. I'm just saying it isn't, it isn't the same. I get it. But it feels like it's going to be made into one heck of a movie in years to come, doesn't it?

30 million and they don't know who it. is. I think that's great. Isn't that? It wasn't me. I wish it was. Normally we're hearing these these morons who get busted for you. Like, why would you do that? Or the ones we talk about are like, you know, they're stealing taxidermy animals.

I'm like, you're going to go through the trouble. I mean, at least go for something that, you know, awesome. You know what? An entire truck full of bobbleheads is pretty awesome. So, so screw you on that one. If you're new to the mashup, everybody everybody remember the bobble heads?

The Yarmur-Yager bobblehead truck disappeared. Man, come on, take a lesson from these guys. Go steal $30 million. Yeah, and then Andrew McKay in the ditch so soon, fellas. Screw you, man. We're having fun. Trudeau getting screwed by a dong. And Dong's future with the Liberal Party remains in doubt

after his testimony at the federal inquiry into foreign interference earlier this week. Almost nine months later, Dong's status with the party, remains in limbo telling the inquiry Tuesday that no decision has been made this article just points to you know the the collusion and how Trudeau went from defending him to distancing him starting to distance himself and just how you know he's talking about the exact same thing with no new developments it's not as though handong has done more uh greasy shit since

he's talking about the same greasy shit that he did before and you know originally it oh, you're just racist for saying that. And then now it's like, oh, yeah, yeah, it's, um, and just the, I love the progression of, see, here's the thing. The clincher for this is that Handong is trying to sue global for defamation. And so they're really going out of their way to accurately report on this and cohesively report on it. And then you get this article, which has a very clear timeline, February 27th, March 23rd.

March 3rd or March 3rd, March 24th, March 24th, June 28th, September 7th, April 3rd, all the way along detailing how Trudeau has evolved his stance on dong, dong, dong, dong, dong. Glenn Gehbert says say dong again, dong, dong, dong, dong. Yeah, getting stirred by a dong. Yeah, and more or less at this point, any hopes of hand dong staying on his member Parliament are pretty much dong with the wind. Yeah, dong with the wind. That's right. Co-vindication.

This is something two's created last week. We're carrying on. So this is new. The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, you might also know them as the CDC, has released previously hidden reports of facial paralysis and other adverse events following COVID-19

vaccinations. Remember what we talked about Justin Bieber? Yes. Yes. And it's like, it's sitting there. Anyways, the 780,000 reports were received shortly after the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out and show that people experience a wide range of post-vaccination problems, including heart inflammation, miscarriages, and seizures. You don't say, To's. Finally, I pulled this line out. The CDC for years declined to make the V-Safe data public instead publishing studies that describe the reports as providing reassurance about the safety of the vaccines. However, according to

data released in 2022, nearly 8% of the 10 million users required, medical attention or hospital care after vaccination. And many others... What's the difference between medical attention and hospital care? Hospital care is by default medical attention. Many others reported missing school, work, or other normal activities. Eight percent, two. Eight percent.

Eight percent. Holy. You know, we were just crazy the whole time. Crazy. You know, there's nothing to see here, folks. Nothing to see. Nothing to see. Safe and effective.

The heck, our government's still saying it's safe and effective. the first one you can get. Mix and match. It's all good. It's all good. Take your eighth. Yeah. Tell us we're fucking wrong again. Trust no one. According to a new survey conducted by Nanos Research, the conservatives come out on top when Canadians are asked who they most trust to responsibly manage the finances

of the government of Canada. They're not. Conservative leader Pierre Poliev's party has a 16 point advantage over the liberals on this question with 35% of respondents saying they trust the Tories the most. The next most common response was, I trust none. None of them. Do anyone one in five Canadians? I don't trust any of them.

That's fair. I like the fact that actually this is the best thing I've seen in Canadian polling for a long time. Because they had that. And then what did they say at the end of, so liberals like fourth, which is, 14.2% of surveyed Canadians. So they aren't even pulling at second or third place in this.

And then yeah, well, there was, oh yeah, another 7% of respondents said there is no difference. So they actually gave the options of, I don't trust any of those

fuckers. And those dicks are all the same. Tricia Roo chamin'amining, CBC, publishing the truth that doesn't sound like them. That's because it wasn't CBC. Yeah, the CDC, the CDC. This is, yeah. But regardless, the CBC is right alongside of them anyways.

They didn't do any journalism for a couple of years. They still don't. Trans pride. After four years and more than $34 billion in cost, the Trouns Mountain oil pipeline expansion will go into commercial service on May 1st 2s. The Trans Mountain Pipeline, which was bought by the federal government in 2018, is Canada's only oil pipeline to the West Coast.

It's expansion will increase capacity from 590,000 barrels per day to 890,000 barrels per day. And it got done just in time with $34 billion. Remember when I said that they were up to $32 billion and they'd secured the extra $2 billion of extra funding so there was going to be an extra $2 billion tacked on at the end? You heard it on the mashup first.

And then now, okay, now it's supposed to, to start in May. They were supposed to cost $7 billion. It's supposed to cost $7 billion. Yeah. They bought it for $4.5. I believe it's it. Yeah.

I'm worried about reprisals from the green idiots that they're going to try and vandalize it or blow it up or something like that. And my suggestion is because it's the Trans Mountain Pipeline. They paint the whole fucking thing in rainbow colors

so that if any of the green retards, try and fuck with it at all. It can be a hate crime. Yeah. Hate crime. Done. Do them. Lock them up.

Yep. A pride flag. A pride flag we could all get on board with, too. Is that what you're trying to point out? Yeah. It just, it's why not? Just, you got to think big brain here.

If everything you do bad to a pride flag is a hate crime, then, okay, well, these things that they're going to want to blow up and destroy. let's make them pride flag. So you say we should change our colors to pride colors just so if we experience any hate? If they try and cancel us, it's not. But I mean, we're the ones putting black marks on ourselves. So that would be a hate crime in and of itself. Right.

So if we had trans rainbow pride. But here's the thing is they're still willing to sell you trans underwear. And if I can't put a skid mark on an intersection without it being a hate crime, there's no way I'm going to take the chance by an underwear. Legacy media owns the aloof. Politics traditionally draws the type of person who cares deeply about what others think of them. That's only natural. To get elected, you need to be more popular than everyone else on the ballot.

With almost 18 months under his belt as conservative leader, it's becoming clear that Pollyev has a certain superpower that sets him aside for most of his predecessors. Whether they're liberal or conservative, he doesn't care what we think of him, twos. but it's we in quotation marks, not like we charity, but we. This is the Toronto Star writing this. And then they go on, how do you attack someone

who doesn't care how the alleged elites view him? Polyev's lack of interest in what we think of him is on full display in his daily media scrums, having correctly determined that the press gallery will never be his allies. Canadians are accustomed to Polyeve's anti-charm offensive when responding to, to media questions.

They talk about themselves as the elites, as the we. And like former Prime Minister Harper might have been stiff with the media, but he couldn't be bothered to be pugilistic no matter how biased a journalist might seem. He's talking about the exact thing that we've been talking about for years, and he's acknowledging it out in the open. And I don't understand, like, did they, for Pahliav, electoral success runs through the families of those who turn wrenches for a living, not the guys who wear French cuff dress shirts.

That he doesn't care what we might think is his superpower. Well, no shit, because what you think is fucking irrelevant. Nobody gives a shit with some liberal arts degree fucking dickface in Ottawa or Montreal or Toronto thinks about any of this stuff. We're not asking you. But it's just such a weird cell phone, the whole thing.

No one is safe from climate change. You know, Tews always finds a way to add in something that just is going to lighten your day. So if you're driving, make sure you don't laugh too hard and swerve into the ditch. If you're working out, you know, just maybe sit out for two seconds, okay? Don't do those last couple reps. Here we go. How climate change is hitting vulnerable Indonesian transsex workers. That's the actual headline.

And here's the first paragraph. Did I read this entire article? No, I did not. Why not? I read the first. Here it is. Joya Pitea, a 43-year-old Indonesian, transgendered woman, first started to notice that changing weather patterns

in the mountain-ringed city of Bandung were affecting her income as a sex worker a decade ago. Great freaking journalism, twos. It's bullshit. Here's the thing is when you're talking about... sex trafficking destination vacations. People book that stuff. Well,

I'm sorry, I'm assuming that they book it the same way they book regular ass vacations, which is months in advance. And so it's not like they're looking out the window in, I don't know, the White House, for example, or they're looking out from their weird sex island and being like,

oh, the weather sucks today. I'm not going to go to Indonesia. They've already booked it once in advance. And you'd think, if anything, if you're going for sex tourism, having shitty weather would probably make you more money

because they'd be like, oh, I want to go see the Mungoons. I can't today. It's raining. Okay, well, let's just dial up some chick with a dick and see if she could come over because the weather sucks and the turtles went away, right? Like, you'd think that that's, but no. No, no, apparently.

Like, none of this made logical sense at all, just on its own, alone when you actually stop to think about any of this. None of these people do any sort of critical thinking. And these are the elites that Pierre Polly have doesn't care about. Okay. Freedom Warriors is laughing too. Good.

Good. Good. And this headline could have also worked for the last article. A job well done is its own reward. Okay. Fort St. John. This is at Fort St. John. A leaked memo from Northern Health tells staff to allow illicit drug use and weapons in hospitals.

You heard that right. I went to the memo. This is what it said. I picked on a couple of things. Staff do not, in bold, remove personal items from the patient's room. Even if there's a knife or something considered as a weapon under four inches long, we use their best professional judgment on this and risk of violence factors. The patient is asked to lock it up or ask someone to bring it home for them.

We do not remove substances or vape pens, pipes or anything of the sort. They remain with patient. Next, patients can use substances while in hospital in their rooms. They can either be provided with Narcan kit or have one available. If a patient has overdosed on substances, we use Narcan and provide teaching. I've asked pharmacy to supplies with take-home Narcan kits and Narcan kits available in the med room and back nurses station. Finally, we do not restrict visitors if we suspect patients are bringing in substances,

only restrict if they are violent, intoxicated, or posing a problem. We do not restrict if they're dropping off substances or suspect of the same. So drug dealers get a free pass at the hospital. I love how this article ended, by the way. In one instance, they alleged someone was smoking meth just hours after the birth of a newborn baby. So like, oh, yeah, that birth was really. tough. I'm really feeling it. Anybody got some crack for me? And they're just like, yeah, it's okay, we're not going to stop

this. Honestly, this pisses me off. As somebody who got oil out of the ground for goddamn decades, it angers me that all the money the government makes on that oil is being spent on enabling crackheads. It's a pretty wild story. I mean, honestly, the fact that that came a memo to nurses is wild. Wouldn't a world without Narcan be wonderful, Andrew McKay? See, here's what I'm thinking. And, you know, it's one of those things where I wonder if I should say it out loud. And generally speaking, whenever I wonder if I should say something out loud, it's going

to get me into trouble. For example, the airport thing from a couple weeks ago. Mrs. Tew's a little bit upset about that, apparently, for some reason, for some reason. even though Sean, you can see in his eyes, he was thinking the same thing too. Like there's basically, there was two guys, two types of people who thought about that.

One who thought the same thing as me and fucking liars. Anyway, here's the thing is, I wonder if, what he's talking about is the woman, is the woman who had to take off her sweater and had nothing underneath it for people who don't know what he's talking about.

And two's gotten crap for that. That's funny to me. That is, that's funny. That's funny. You said the quiet part out loud, Two's, wouldn't a world with Narcan be wonderful? And here's the quiet part. If we quit giving them Narcan, it would be, it would ease a lot of the strain on our medical system. If we quit giving them Narcan,

homelessness wouldn't be nearly as much of an issue. If we quit giving them Narcan, crime would go down. At what point do we want to say that people should be held responsible for their own decisions? it's a weird, awkward, difficult conversation to have, but it's something to think about. Followed by nature is healing. Okay. Are we talking line brawl? We're talking line brawl.

So maybe you saw this, maybe you didn't, but I'll just pull it up here quick. I don't know if I need the commentary at all, do I? Probably not. But essentially it's the start of the game between the opening face off. New Jersey Devils. and you've got a line brawl.

And people lose their mind over this. I'm like, this is just hockey. When I played hockey, this doesn't happen every game. And don't think for one second, this happening in one game is all sudden going to open the door for a line brawl happening all the time. The NHL isn't like that anymore. So this is a throwback to the old days. Well, it is, but it isn't. So, I mean, on the one hand, you got these guys fighting with their helmets and with visors still on.

Like, what the hell is that? The goalies didn't go. And that was the next thing I was going to say. I was waiting for Ssterkin and you know all the fans were sitting there going, are the goalies going, come on, come on. And the goalies didn't go. Yeah. So I hope it ups the ante and then that, you know,

subsequent teams start responding with things like this. I think that would be a lot of fun. If you take some, you know, pathetic, hopeless teams like, like if the coyotes did this with the Oilers or something like that, that would be awesome because it's not really going to screw anything up for either one of them. Give it to the two boys. You know, they, they went there for a solid minute, 25 or longer. And that was, that was a solid tilt.

I mean, it's just a throwback to the old days. Like, to me, I, uh, I enjoy it. I enjoy it. I enjoy me. I don't really care. I enjoy when there's a little bit of fisticuffs in hockey. I think it's better for it. And they're settling a score.

And, you know, whether you like that they're settling it that way, well, whoopty do. If you're watching the show, you probably think the same. same thing. You're probably not that hurt by a hockey fight. I'm kind of surprised by this. Okay, I want to,

I want to just dig into this for a minute, Sean. Okay. So grew up watching the Oilers, right? Big Oilers fan. Big Gretsky fan. And yet at the same time,

you like seeing fights in hockey. That's weird. So you, let me get this straight. Because you're a huge Gretzky fan. You're a huge Gretzky fan, but you also like to see fights in hockey?

Actually, my, my, if I'm honest, twos, My favorite hockey player of all time, Stevie Y, guy played with his heart on his shoulder. Yeah. Followed by Ryan Smith, you know, Captain Canada at one point. Yeah.

Followed by Sidney Crosby. And so, and then, you know, like the new players, yeah, there's a lot of skilled players. And I like a lot of guys. And I'm, you know, but I, my favorite Calgary flame of all time, Jerome McGillow. Right? I would have gladly brought him on. That's a guy who stuck up for his teammates. I like Jonathan Taves.

I like a certain style of player. And I'm not saying Ryan Smith and Stevie Y and all those guys went and fought, but Gregski wasn't there to fight. That wasn't his job. His job was to score goals, win hockey games. And he isn't built like a fighter. New John Hopkins right now. Every once in a while he'll drop Mitz and it's cool.

But you're like, that's not why you're there for. That's not why you're, you know, you're not supposed to have everybody fight. Some guys are made to put puck it. Every once in a while, seeing him drop the Mitz. I'm not against it. But Oilers, man, Oilers Flames back in the day, used to be gruesome. It used to be fun watching.

Like some big boys we're going to go at it. They need to get back to that. They really need to... They're not going to get back to it. We're talking in the news about publicly funding surgery to have a vagina and a penis.

Like, we're not getting back to that. Well, it's not like you're going to punch him in the can, Sean. Actually, how does that work? Do you need like a double can at that point? Have they developed a can for this perspective? Probably haven't developed a can for that. Because, I mean, you'd see that guy dressing up in the locker room, and you'd say, hey, nice cans.

Drop in the bucket seats. Police operation at the port of Montreal has led to the recovery of 598 stolen vehicles since December. Many of them stolen from southern Ontario insulated for sale overseas. Kerns said the vehicles valued at $34.5 million were to be sold on foreign markets around the world in Asia, Europe,

of Africa, the Middle East, and in South America. Yeah. Now, did you see how many vehicles have been stolen out of all of them? Like, they basically just, they got this much of them. And here's the thing,

like all these vehicles that go missing in Canada, it's not like you find them on fire two miles out of town. They just disappear and never to come back. Where do they go? They go to other countries. Correct. and yeah like why would you

it can't be that hard to find out Samanko for the win I agree Glenn hey we do you try to pull up Tuse is upset because the listeners are looking like they agree

with my assessment of the oilers uh yeah eat it a drop in the bucket seats come on Tuz finish your thought here Finish your thought. You know, they're all going out on ships. And I get the fact that there's some busy ports in this country.

But it can't be really that. Like, okay, there's a convoy of 50 cars that showed up. It's either Justin Trudeau on his way to get takeout, or it's a bunch of stolen fucking cars getting in sea cans. This isn't rocket science. I agree. And honestly, we don't have that many ports. Happy news, twos.

I don't even know what the happy news is today. Happy news. Happy news is mashup 101 being in the afternoon for the first time ever. Pretty cool. All right. Meet Lavern Beiser, 105-year-old Eclipse Chaser, excited to add the 13th to his list. Yeah. Yeah.

So he started in 63 in Maine. He's been all over North and South America. And yeah, from Texas to Brazil, although I assume, like they talked about him being in Maine. So obviously, it's like Texas is in between Maine and. Brazil. Poorly written, but just go with it. So anyway, and he talks about how each eclipse has its own unique beauty, and he thinks that this one's going to be

really important because it's actually in his backyard. And he urges spectators to remove their glasses during the total eclipse to fully appreciate its splendor. Okay, you hear all this stuff about people's eyes boiling if they look at the eclipse? here is the resident expert. No one on the planet,

I would say probably ever, has seen more eclipses than this geyser. And he's... And I dropped you out of the thing. And he's telling you to take the glasses off so you can really appreciate it. And he's seen 13 of them. 13 of them.

You excited for the clips? Are you... Like, I've seen the path it takes. It doesn't get close, like the, you know, the path of it isn't. where we're sitting. The past totality misses us by a couple thousand kilometers, right?

Correct. I mean, it goes, it catches Montreal. It, I'm guessing parts of Toronto or, you know, southern Ontario anyway. And most of Newfoundland, it would be pretty cool to check out. But with the carbon tax now, I'm not going to fly all the way across the continent just to see like 10 minutes of darkness. Oh, you're saving the world one missed flight at a time, twos. I guess the carbon tax is working. I guess it is.

All right. That's going to do it for Mashup 101. Some things, community notes before we, I was saying it to... How many tickets have you sold so far, Sean? Freed as we started the show. I shouldn't have never looked because I wrote it in here that we were,

we had sold 222 tickets to the show. It's got capacity for 240. And I just sold the 223rd. So two figures I should rebate it and, and then just walk it down. And just shut it down. And just shut it down. it all in color. Regardless, if you want to come to Lloyd Minster, April 27th, SMP presents the Cornerstone Forum.

It's going to be happening all day Saturday. And there's only 17 tickets left. So that's, that's super interesting. You got the 12th annual PBR and Mar Wayne coming up, April 12th, June 22nd, also in Marwain, Aaron Goodwin and Garrett Gregory. May 11th, walking fundraiser in Turtletford. That's McKenzie Bloom, 639, 844, 71, 7,000. 101, all proceeds going to MS Society. You got the clunker, Dunker, and Kid Scotty, clunkerdunker.com. How is that thing not sunk yet? I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. Did Dust put a bunch of legs underneath it in the fall? And then it's just holding up the ice. And then when he decides, he's just going to hit a button and then they'll go out. And he'll be like, oh, look, I won. Like, it'll, it'll, there'll be no ice left. He'll forget it. He'll forget he did that.

There's no ice left. It's just the straight slew. And people will be looking to be like, why is that thing still floating? You know, this has been our shortest mashup in quite some time, under an hour. And we're going to make sure that it's under an hour. Thanks for joining us today on a Friday afternoon.

Thanks, Chase. Obviously, you're seeing the new look. The mashup is moving to 10 a.m. Next week, that is the plan moving forward. Fridays at 10. We hope you'll join us live. And if you miss. it. Of course, it'll go on the podcast afterwards. You can catch everything there later on before,

you know, probably be up, but lunchtime type thing. Um, so either way, thanks for hopping in today. Folks, mashup one and one in the books. Twos. Until next week, until all you find folks, we'll see you next week as well. Awesome. Thanks, guys.
