We all agree that search engine optimization has just gone way too far. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's where you have a big write-up at the start of whatever website you have that talks about absolutely nothing in this generic sort of like a really bad AI on a pocket calculator wrote it. And then a few pages down, a few hundred, maybe a thousand words later, you actually get to the nuts and bolts of what you're trying to say. had a bit of a medical emergency on the weekend.

And I'm trying to Google and see if there's anything I could do to help during a medical emergency. And so I go to the first thing that pops up and seems relevant. And I've got to scroll through this entire fucking diatribe of nothing to get to the, well, is there anything I can do that might save this person's life? That should be at the fucking top. This isn't like all recipes.com where you've got this ridiculous this right up at the start, and then you can click jump to recipe.

Search engine optimization, if that's how you want to do it, fine. But realize that there is a time and a fucking place. Everybody's okay, right? Yes, everybody is fine. We had a medical emergency, but everyone is okay. Everyone's okay. Mashup, 112. Good, sir. How's Tews today?

Tews is good. And you know what else is good? Derek Nernberg. Sweet, for the first time in 112 weeks, I can actually tune into this thing live. Welcome, buddy. How is Sean? Oh, I tell you what, I should have asked,

how's everybody doing? Hey, we got people tuning in live. How's everybody doing? I'm doing great. It's Friday. Mashup 112, brought to you by the parental rights tour. You know who's in Canada right now? James Lindsay.

Yeah. That's who's in Canada. Parental Rights Tour. They're live in Bonneville tonight. I'm heading to Bonneville. I don't know if I've ever been this excited to go to Bonneville before. Sorry, Bob. I don't know if anybody's ever been excited to go to Bonneville before.

Well, I'm heading there tonight for Dr. James Lindsay. He's going to be in Bonneville tonight, Eminton and Red Deer tomorrow, Calgary Sunday, Brooks Monday. And tickets are still available. And you can find it while I'll post it in the comments once again. And if you're listening to it on the podcast, they'll be in the show notes. And if you haven't heard of Dr. James Lindsay, while he's been on Rogan multiple times, too's.

He's the American author with his PhD in mathematics. He's too smart for me, but he's a heck of a speaker. Too smart for pretty much anybody. I don't know anybody who's ever listened to his podcast, the new Discourse's podcast, and not said, there's a decent chunk of it that goes over my head. And while you're in Bonneville,

if you get hungry, go to Busters and get a don't air, the size of your head, which is fairly large to begin with, for a very reasonable price. I used to love going to that place because it would just be like, you're like, you'd get the Super Donair?

You're like, how could you possibly expect somebody to eat this in one sitting? It was pretty good. It's like one of the only things I miss about Bonneville. While we're doing this, shout out to Jamie Sinclair and all the airborne boys, happy Airborne Friday.

He's texting me, he's going, how do I watch this live? I'm like, come on. You served in the military. You jumped out of planes. for a living and you can't find it live. Folks, if you're listening to it live watching it live and you're on Twitter,

a retweet or letting people know we're doing this would be greatly appreciated. If you have friends like Jamie Sinclair who are brilliant at what they did in the military, but can't find their way out of a wet paper bag it seems, maybe just show them a little love and be like, hey, this

is where the mashup is now. 112 and we're still wondering about how I find the mashup. Come on, Jamie. I mean, this is like you're literally 112th time trying to find it. I believe in you. This is the one to turn it around. You're retired now. You've got time.

Lisa says, or Hamels for the world famous beef jerky. That's absolutely correct. Hamel's was a great place. Even just go in there and get burgs if you're just barbecuing like literally anything and everything. And now that I'm thinking about it, there are a few other things

that I liked about Bonneville. Yes. The old school diner, you know, a few other things here and there. Are we talking about Coots as a headline or do you want to bring up Coots immediately? I don't have Coots as a headline. I just have it as here's the next little ancillary thing. Coots, 859 days for Christopher Carbert, Anthony Olinick. Here's a post online about some of the trial that's been going on.

It says Chris Carbert and Tolanik, two of the Coots, four defendants told two female undercover officers. we talked about this last week. Here's a little more information that they were delivering a package in hockey bags to the protests. Is it a bomb? One undercover asked. Tony and Chris laughed.

Is it guns? She asked again. The two made eye contact. One undercover officer claims in her notes that there was a nod, but the other does not. This is the crux of the conspiracy to commit murder charge

that has kept these men held without bail for with bouts of solitary confinement for nearly three years. Eye contact and perhaps a slight nod. It's also worth noting that shortly, after the hockey bags were delivered to the protest. Dozens of kids could be seen playing hockey.

So, yeah, I mean, yeah. I don't know. So three years for what may or may not have been just getting a bunch of kids some hockey gear based on like literally nothing. Yeah. I'm, I think when they get out of, am I, am I wrong on this? But when they get out of jail, because it's going to happen. They're going to Omar Kedar, the.

shit out of the government. Right. Yeah. Okay. I'm like, that's not going to take away the three years like, you know, that's going on here. But I mean, at some point, yes. One final shut up before we start the headlines. It is, uh, my mom's birthday today. Longest day of the year, June 21st. So showed out to my, to my, uh, to my mom. She, uh, turned 60. I don't know if women never liked their age, whatever. She's 68 today. So happy birthday to, to Mother Newman. This is Newman.

That's right. That's right. Mama Newman. That's right. So let's roll twos. We got a full meal ahead of us. Daniel Smith irritates twos of the week. All right.

I was wondering where we were going with, wait a sec. Do we want to talk injection of truth first? Oh, yes. Yes, we do. Actually, let's take this off the docket. And I had wanted to ask because I missed it because of, you know, the aforementioned medical thing. How was it? it. What did you think? So, so, uh, injection of truth was, uh, once again, um, um,

in Calgary on Monday night. You had, uh, doctor speaker, Dr. Bridal, Dr. Rose, Trozy, Maccas, Payne, shoemaker, all doctors. And, uh, then lawyer Jeff Rath, all spoke. Uh, it was hosted by, uh, Calgary, Laheed. So, uh, UCP, uh, riding. And, um, man, there, it was a packed house. Five hundred and I forget what the official number was, but it was a over 500 people. The place was packed. It sold out. It sold out all the live streams. They had over 16,000 people watch it online. And I would say, you know, if you were, if you'd followed these doctors, I'm not sure how much new information you gathered. But in saying that, the information was, was great. The one thing

the doctors were hoping was that, you know, a few of, you know, mainstream media would maybe show up or maybe some of the naysayers would show up. But we chuckled because it was raining. And I was expecting, I don't know, I'd heard Antifa, I'd heard protesters. I'd heard. And there was, they, I talked to security after it was done Tuesday. And they said there was one questionable guy. That was it. I'm like, one. So for all that, for the news articles in the Toronto Star, for the NDP, beating their chest about how great, you know, everything, possibly wouldn't even bother, couldn't even bother showing up. Right. So overall, yeah, it was, I think it was a good night. It was well received by everyone in the audience. Um, I'm sure they're on,

There was tons of people trying to harass it and everything else as they do. But overall, like, I don't know. Like it was an interesting group of speakers and they held the attention of the audience for about three hours. It was a full, full evening. That is good. And I think you're absolutely right in that it would have been really good to have some naysayers or mainstream media there to say, hey, you know what? Actually, you know, this is, this isn't just a bunch of crazy. people thinking they're going to be injecting 5G and Wi-Fi into us.

All of the shitty straw man arguments that they made that tried to paint everybody who had qualms about this as being crazy. Oh, that isn't anything that anybody's discussing. Yeah, it's all, it's all disappearing or blowing up in front of them or what have you. Yeah, which is why they don't want to, by the way. Yeah. All right. Yeah, well, I mean, if, if they were.

were right, they'd show up and be like, listen, Codgbags, here's the situation. But they didn't and they don't. Yeah, they hide behind the keyboard warriors. Yeah. Leanne Taylor says, Let's. Yeah, and that's, that's all she had to say. So let's.

Here we go. Daniel Smith irritates twos of the week. No one irritates two of the week. Hey, you told me, motherfucker, you told me several times. I know, I'm just, you know, Let's go, Oilers. All right, here we go. Game 6 today.

Daniel Smith. Daniel Smith, let's fire this up. Daniel Smith irritates twos of the week. Okay, so here's a video. Basically, Smith plans to use the Heritage Savings Fund for derisking projects that businesses are finding difficult to be able to get after to get financing. She's talking about oil and gas. She's suggesting using the Heritage Savings Fund to de-risk these projects. And this tweet says she can't keep her hands off the Heritage Fund.

she won't be able to keep her hands off in Alberta pension fund. Now, it's interesting because this exact clip, she says in the clip, that you obviously can't do this for a pension fund, and it's completely different, and it isn't even an option. And so it's just intentionally misleading in terms of what she says. At the same time, the Heritage Fund should not be used to what you should be doing, instead of having a bunch of government red tape, and then when nobody wants to invest, say,

well, we will back these projects so that if it becomes too difficult with the red tape, you still don't lose money. What if you just got rid of the red fucking tape? It's having a government-created problem and then a government-created solution that does nothing other than cost the taxpayers more money. It's silly.

Get over it. I don't know. Pictures worth a thousand words, isn't it? Yeah, Nernberg, let's go Panthers. Man, I'm so glad he's on today. And so this, this is Mark Gerritsen holding a cup he had made with Jennifer O'Connell. Boo-hoo, get over it. Which, if you remember from last week, was her response to people being upset about

Canadian members of parliament being literally compromised and committing what appears This is insane This is insane. This is insane. And this is not the own he thinks it is. Sure, there's going to be a very small number

of diehard liberals. We're like, oh, this is great. But all this is doing is fortifying everybody else in the other direction. And I'm glad they're this stupid. And I hope they come up with a whole line of mugs capitalizing on their failures. You know how like old people used to have all the plates for all the different

popes and queens and everything like that? We should just do a run of plates or cups or whatever for all of the liberal fuckups and they can display them proudly and be like, this is the time we got the Kyle Burger Brothers rich. All politicians are under the crown, not for Canadians. I'm not sure what the crown has to do with any. of it, but I think it's fair to say that they are not for

Canadians at this point. Booking a burner basement.com. Okay, the next one, this is, I'm going to just read the tweet, okay? Not normally one to post customer service complaints on Twitter, but me and the boys are in Germany for Euro 2024

and wait till you see the absolute chambles of a situation, booking.com put us in last night. This is, so it starts off, so about around half past eight, Yesterday, we turned up to the original property. We booked through booking.com and the place was an absolute mess. One of the beds was made out of cardboard, also held together by duct tape.

The second bed was a sofa and was broken and disgusting. He's got pictures all the way along. They go through customer service and they get sent to a new one. Booking.com finally sends them to a new one. And this, you can see the video playing. They're walking through the new place they went. And it looks like a basement. I'm just scrolling.

Now he's going down. It looks like a dungeon. it's got like, this is the place that hostel was filmed in. It was filmed in 100%. This is just this scary, weird murder dungeon. This is booking.com. It literally goes on to say there was hospital beds, industrial equipment, so then they just keep going on and on and on and on and tell booking.com's like,

why don't you just go book somewhere else and we'll refund you? And they're like, we don't have 2,000 spare dollars to buy a last minute hotel in Germany during Euro 2024. Yes, that's why we spent money through you. Like this is, I mean, honestly Tuse, this is an insane story. Oh, it's absolutely wonderful. I would love to

actually book that place the next time I go to Germany. I think that that would be really fun and interesting and a little bit terrifying. I mean, you know, maybe something crawls out of the TV screen in the middle of the night. He literally types in the dates. It says, what are you looking for,

price range, murder basement. Can I get the murder basement? It's actually poor marketing. I bet you if they marketed it as a scary murder basement, they would get a lot of people who'd be like, oh, this is going to be awesome. Okay, I'm going to sleep on this hospital bed. You sleep next to this giant pile of lumber. You're going to sleep over there. It's all about managing expectations. The science is settled. Rising temperatures due to climate change may endanger democracy. Climate change carries important effects on human well-being and performance.

And increasingly, researchers documenting the negative impacts of out-of-comfit temperatures on workplace performance. You know, when I first read this, I'm like, if the government showed up to its workplace, you know, maybe they wouldn't have problems. Instead of sitting in their air-conditioned homes all the time, how much can climate change really affect the performance of a bunch of bureaucrats that never have to go outside? They're always in a climate-controlled room. this whole thing is absolutely silly

the silliest part is that somebody paid for it you know they got a grant and funding to actually do this research climate change has been proven to be caused by the mashup I'm sure people watching it online hey yeah yeah and there'll be like 112 little ticks mostly going in an upward direction we could build a map of Canada with little roosters of where everybody's listening from Meals have to be eaten in French.

This is, oh, man. Quebec restaurant owner forced to stop giving free meals to those in need. His violation, the free meal vouchers were written in English. You're not reading that wrong, folks. So this guy has a pay it forward program at his restaurant, where if you want to, you can buy a meal for somebody who perhaps doesn't work for the government and is struggling right now. And as a result,

they get this voucher that they can in turn bring in to the restaurant and get a free meal, which seems like a nice thing. It's something that you would want to promote. It's a kind of thing that a decent human being would do. It's the kind of thing that has no fucking place whatsoever in fucking Quebec. And so the language police shut it down because the vouchers were not written, Enfonse. What a fucking dick move.

peak Quebec. China. There's no way of knowing for certain whether any foreign meddling effort and any writing in either of those federal elections influenced the voter government. They're talking about 2019, 2021, one way or another. But whoever this story ends, it's hard to see its final chapter containing the Trudeau government's vindication. It's much easier to imagine the story coming to a close in Justin Trudeau's final disgrace. This is a national post article talking about, you know, essentially the meddling of China and everything and how everything leads back to them except for the government won't release the report. And then it's funny because Elizabeth May read the report and she's talking about how bad.

Pauliev is because he won't get the security clearance to read the report. But the hook in that security clearance is once you get it, you can't talk about what's in it. So they say, so she says, well, I've read it. and I'm not muzzled. And then they say, okay, well, what did you think about this particular thing? And she says, well, I can't talk about that. She's literally confirming exactly what the fuck is going on here. Okay.

So there's so much more I wanted to do with this, but let's just keep moving forward. Going Dutch. Bicycle activists. Yes, everything it seems these days can be an activist. 28% of all journeys in the Netherlands are made by bike. only 3.5% of Dutch cyclists wear helmets, though. Okay? In 2022, 82, 88,000 cyclists were injured in the Netherlands,

making up 66% of all casualties on the road. And around half of those collisions involved motorists. Quoted, we have the position that helmets don't prevent, this is, anyways, quoted, we have the position that helmets don't prevent accidents, but it can be a wise decision to wear one on a voluntary basis. The bicycling union director, Esther Van Gardens said, emphasizing and then the union said emphasizing too much that you should wear a helmet would discourage people from cycling sometimes though and has the error of victim blaming. I don't even know if I can do the mental gymnastics of what I just read to be honest.

You can't because it's fucking insane. Now it's interesting because the not the B article talked about how just the knee jerk libertarian response is that if someone is dumb enough to not wear a helmet while they're riding a bicycle, they should just be able to. And the gene pool is going to clear itself out, which is exactly my standpoint. And it's, it's, it's funny because I'm reading this and I'm like, well, I know exactly where I stand on this issue. And then it points out exactly where I stand on this issue in a little bit of a mocking way. And I'm like, motherfucker. So look, I think the same thing for motorcycles, too. It should not be mandatory to wear a helmet while you're riding a motorcycle.

It's one of those, look, if you're that stupid, we should end. your bloodline as soon as possible anyway, so definitely don't wear a helmet. Stonewalling at Stonehenge. Can I just say these people need to get really like just punched in the, you know, like, anyways. In the baby maker? Uh, two climate activists. Well, there's this one.

Okay. So I'm just going to play the video. I don't know video. The video is of a bunch of just stop oil people. Damaging Stonehenge. Throwing paint all over literal fucking. fucking Stonehenge. Correct.

They're like, oh, it'll wash off. Anyways. So then you can imagine. People are like, what are you doing? They're trying to pull them off, but they're kind of being, in my opinion, as a watch video. You don't pull these people off. Yeah. You punch them in the head.

No, you pick them up and you literally bodily throw them into the giant rocks of stonehen. Who is the wrestler who, the Goldberg spear? Right? It was Goldberg used to have the spear. where you just like it just runs across the ring and drills them. That's what you need to see happen here. Well, like any sort of like a wrestling clothesline.

Like you just run up and as you're running past them right to the back of the head and then they drop. Hopefully they hit their head on the rock. Wouldn't that be ironic if they died from a brain trauma caused by the rock that they were trying to spray paint? But then the nice thing about this, it's almost a happy. news is that there's literal

like other crazy organizations that aren't quite as crazy are now distancing themselves from Just Stop Oil. They're like, you've lost your fucking minds. So Waterways Protection Hashtag in sewage pollution says after

Just Stop Oil's attack on the cultural and religious site of Stonehenge we formally dissociate ourselves from them. Religious and ancient sites are off limits in our environmental struggles. How much oil do you think was used in the creation of Stonehenge? That top rock is tempting fate.

GK says, Nudge, Nudge. Wouldn't that be funny if in their process of trying to deface Stonehenge, they knock one of those top ones loose and just get fucking pancakes? Oh, that would be wonderful. Glue them to it.

Glenn says, I think just pinning them under the rock would be perfect. Or, you know, like, I don't know, maybe there's some kind of clever thing you could do with the Aubrey holes. But let's have some fun with just getting them right fucking gone. Trans people using their penises as weapons. All right. New polling data shows that support for LGBT rights is dropping precipitously in Canada. While many queer activists will inevitably blame the far right for this development,

the fact is that they themselves helped sabotage their own public support. This year, only 49% of Canadian respondents believe that people should be open about their orientation or gender identity down 12 points from 2021, while support for LGBT. Public people, oh my goodness, people publicly kissing. This is like a mouthful. Everything's falling. You're saying that all this trans stuff is a big mouthful? All the support is falling for them. That's what I'm trying to spell out.

It is. it is and then of course now they're just doubling down on it yes and it I mean it's interesting I mean how many times have you said on the mashup that you're tired of them shoving their gay stuff down your throat Sean I think that's a twos

I think that's a Tuesday thing yes and so I think this is like personally I don't care but don't try and wave your dick around little kids yeah and that's that's not

that's not an extremist thing. And if you think it's an extremist thing, you should tell everybody you know that you think that's an extremist thing. Just they know exactly the kind of person you are. Going back real quick, Jamie Ingram says, then they spray painted Taylor Swift's plane in the UK.

Yes, they, well, they tried to. They tried to. And we had that as another article, but we're trying to rapid fire through all this stuff. Well, and to go to the LGBT, this, so Adam Zivo put Militin,

LGBTQ activist ill-equipped to handle growing backlash. Because what the article is talking about is as they become more militant and don't listen and keep forcing their ideas and on and on it goes, people are stepping away. The Canadian public is showing now in polls, which take the polls wherever you want, folks, is that they're just no longer want to see it, you know? LGBT characters on screens, people wanting that are down to 34%, down 10 points in the last two years. So like they're just seeing this everybody's kind of had enough. Correct.

Because it was at first it was hey, we just want to be treated like everybody else. And then everybody said, okay, yeah, that's cool. I can get behind that. And then they said and now we want to be dicks about everything. And that's kind of where you start losing people. The NDP are a dwindling

party. We talk about talking about the upset. The upset. Or sorry, the floor crossing. You want, You want BC Conservatives, right? Yeah.

All right. Okay. BC conservatives, here it is. I'm just going to pull it up here. Basically, an NDP MLA in BC crossed the floor to join the Conservative Party. The Conservative Party, BC is pleased to announce that Chris Moore, the former BC United candidate. I mean, sorry, yes. VC United candidate for Powell River on SunTrack Coast is joining the, put it on the tab of,

things too, is gets wrong. Hey, folks, is joining the common sense movement of dedicated British communes who want to see a better, safer and more affordable BC. You don't need to read the rest, but there you go. I mean, the BC United Party was a merger of, or an attempted merger of the conservatives and the liberal party. And there's a bit of a backlash going on now because people are saying, well, you know what? They're really not all that conservative. And so they've got their own conservative party. And it looks like, depending on how much, if they can keep the upward trend going, John Rustad's going to take it possibly, but it's going to be one to watch.

It'll be interesting to watch. Economists for sale. Multiple economists who signed their names in an open letter that praised the federal liberals carbon tax have been paid, have been paid, non-competitive contracts by the same government for consulting documents shown. Case in point, I'm just going to pull it up here.

This is a tweet from Andrew. Leach interested in who has federal government contracts. There's a registry. It's all public, which is good. Here are my records. And then he shows. Trying to get out in front of it by saying here. It's all super transparent. But that doesn't change the fact that it's still there. Right.

And that over the course of, you know, he's been paid money by the federal government. And he's- Isn't it funny how when you have scientists, for example, they get funding for these sort of things? They end up saying whatever it is that the liberals want, whether it makes sense. or not and now you're into economists and how many times have you seen an economist say something absolutely

completely asinine? Go to that Ryan Turnbull tweet please. Ryan Turnbull. It's one of the tweets. Oh my God, Toos. I'm looking. I'm looking folks. No, I don't have it. I don't have it. What are you talking about? Ryan Turnbull. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Okay, well, Ryan Turnbull is happy welcome to mashup 112 where we get it partially right folks okay anyways the point is is that Ryan Turnbull Ryan Turnbull is a liberal MP

and he was talking about how he had this renowned economist saying that it was really good to take the word of this guy saying that he was talking about how good the capital gains tax is I think it might

go into the next Here it is. Here it is. I got it right here. Here. There is no other tax loophole more closely targeted at high-income Canadians than the partial inclusion of capital gains, professor Jim Stanford. Conservatives only care about protecting the profits of the wealthy.

That's why they voted against tax fairness. Jim Stanford, who works for the Canadian Center for, or pardon me, the Center for Future Work, whose funding is given to him. by the Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives, whose funding is given to them by the liberal fucking government. This guy made his career being an economist at Uniform. There is nothing about this guy that says anything remotely fucking credible other than he seems to be paid to say whatever the fuck the government wants him to do.

And he is being touted here as being the person that we should all go to and listen to. bought and paid for fucking bullshit. You can't say cockpit. I just did. The airline pilots association in their inclusive language reference guide, they argue that inclusive language is an important factor

in maintaining flight safety. While the word cockpit dates back to 1900s, it has been and may be used in a derogatory way to exclude women in the piloting profession. Many women have heard a variation of it as called cockpit for a reason by a male pilot suggesting that women do not belong and piloting profession.

Guidance against the uses, like this goes in turn with, guidance against the uses of phrases like ladies and gentlemen, manpower, or the dreaded husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend. Labels. Oh, twos, we can't be saying cockpit. Well, I did find this interesting. If we can't say cockpit anymore,

what are we going to call Margaret Trudeau? According to Wall Street Journal's Ben Zimmer, the term cockpit has nothing to do with penises, and it originated from 16th century cockfighting. So, you know, it doesn't matter. This is the exact plot of a South Park episode, the one where Randy Marsh tries to do a bunch of cock magic. This exact thing happened in South Park.

Where does it end? Yes. Somebody by the name of Elaine Newman. Happy birthday. Skip the topic. Who even wants to hear about it? I'm guessing she talked about, guessing that was about her birthday.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure what's talking about. I'm assuming it was about the trans stuff. is my guess. That's where I'm going to take a stab at, but who knows. Capital gains! Capital gains. Here, let's start here, okay? It's a 40-second video.

I'm going to turn the old. Let's see if we can get this to go. I don't think we even need it. There's nothing really important or interesting here. Okay, there's a lot of noise out there. This is Rachel Ben Dan. She is the deputy member of parliament, okay, for Otrumont, a lawyer, lovely. took over. This is Thomas Mulcares' old writing.

Let's be clear. Nobody's salary or paycheck will be impacted whatsoever by the changes to the capital gains rate. That's literally the definition of capital gains. It doesn't. It's not, it's capital gains. It's gains on capital. It's not wages. It's capital gains. And then the next one, the one you just had up there. Bring it back. Bring it back. Someone who made $10 million in salary last year criticizing the capital gains changes. is kind of making the liberals case for them.

Salary and capital gains are literally two different things. You don't say. These are the people who are trying to shape the commentary and the direction of Canada. And I am by no means an accounting expert. But this is basically 101. And then here's the one that I got a little bit mixed up because I'm so excited about all this. but here's the Ryan Turnbull tweet there's no other tax loophole

mostly more closely targeted at high income Canadians than the partial inclusion of capital gains professor Jim Stanford whom we just established is literally bought and paid for by the people who were saying oh look what this economist had to say you fucking paid

him to say it motherfucker so I don't think it really counts Sean's mom is going to ground him on her birthday for not skipping the topic but a fucking beauty that guy is shout it to Kevin get a trade

well played Kevin is this this story is interesting as temperatures sore across the region this week Pittsburgh residents might not find any relief at their local public drinking fountain many of the cities more than 200 fountains

have yet to be turned on the summer according to officials that's because the city only has one plumber on staff that can turn a drinking fountain on it's literally just a quarter turn valve is going to be somewhere. Correct. Correct. And you just got to open up the valve and then the water is going to be able to flow to it. So not only is there a dearth of qualified plumbers, but the people who are like, I don't know what to do.

We can't find a plumber are also not quite intelligent enough to say, okay, well, what if we just follow the water line and when it gets to a valve, we turn the fucking valve? This is so embarrassing. This, by the way, is an episode of South Park where all of the handymen become billionaires and they get spaceships and they go around like fighting each other in space because they have all of the money because no one knows

how to do literally anything anymore. This is that. The NDP are a serious party? The Manitoba NDP's Carla Compton has been elected in a Winnipeg riding that has previously only voted progressive conservative in its entire four-decade history.

The New Democrats won tuxedo. First off, what a cool riding name. Long regarded as a Tory stronghold. In Manitoba? What is it just a jean jacket and a jean shirt? Well, it'd be better if it was Canadian tuxedo, for sure, for sure. But it's still a cool riding name. By a margin of 600 votes.

So. Yeah, it wasn't like a dead heat, but it was still pretty close. But anyway, Wob Cano seems to be doing things fairly, well and I would say that a bunch of his success is that he's distancing himself from the kind of things that the federal NDP party wants to do which by the way Nenshi is the election for leaders today I think and one of the things Nenshi's been talking about is what we have been talking about for a long time this is the mashup effect again and he's saying that he thinks it's time for the Alberta NDP to separate itself official.

from the federal NDP. Maybe a name, James too. And so I think as long as you've got Jagmeet Singh continuing to be an absolute fucking disaster, you're going to see more and more of this. Because, like, the liberals are tanking in the polls, and not a single bit of that support has gone to the NDP's direction. It's all gone the other way. Correct.

Bullying dentists? Hmm. Pier Poliev's conservatives are bullying Canada's. dental associations into opposing the Trudeau government's national dental care plan, health minister Mark Holland said Tuesday. He said associations are suddenly dealing with rabid conservatives who fear the success of the program would benefit the governing liberals. And that's why they continue to oppose the details of the plan despite having their concerns addressed by the government. Hollings suggest that because conservatives are calling these dental associations screaming at them

and getting angry at them, they remain opposed to the plan. Holland did not provide any evidence for this claim. Exactly. And it should have led with that. It should have said, despite not providing any evidence of this claim and then gone through the whole rest of it. Correct. You listed at the very, very fucking end. I like the fact that you're finally pointing things like this out, legacy media, but lead with it. I liked how at the very end the Conservatives Office said the comments are unhinged.

I mean, I'd say it's fairly accurate, actually. Yes. Yes. Gay football. Not a typo. The Buffalo Bills are proud to support the National Gay Flag Football League with a sponsorship to a launch of a chapter in Buffalo. The NGFFFL is a non-profit sports organization

that seeks to promote the positive social and athletic enjoyment of American flag football. Quoted, we are thrilled to bring inclusive flag football to Buffalo. with the support of the Buffalo Bills. The exciting edition joins 27 other cities, over 4,000 players, including straight allies in the National Gay Flag Football League, said NGFFL Commissioner Joel Horton. Just take a minute to appreciate this photo of...

Oh, shoot. I'm zooming in on the wrong page here. This is a... These are the kind of people that want to show their... in drag queen story hours. Somebody who's literally being a drag queen in the gay football league and look at those fucking legs. That person has played a lot of football. Those are thick legs.

Tell you what, if I ever end up playing in some gay football league and I'm the center, I'm not going to do eye formation. Nope, nope, shotgun. Shotgun, shotgun. Somebody's stealing our water. Flag football was always a bit gay. Fair enough, but to be honest with you, when you're trying to play football at an older age,

you heal a lot slower. And it starts, you'll reach an age where it makes sense to not wreck each other on a weekly basis. All right, we're talking Calgary Water. I'm curious where Toos wants to jump in on this. But here is a couple quotes from a couple different articles. The mayor says progress is looking really good. She is eagerly awaiting a shipment of those new pipes from California.

Okay, and I'm going to flow up this in there. So San Diego is where they're coming from. Correct. There you go. Yeah, go ahead. City Hall is giving us precious little information about what went wrong on the Bears South Feeder water line. They hear that reinforcing steel wire snapped are weakened in six places and there may be more.

And it went on to basically talk. about how parts of the concrete have turned to powder because of chemicals in the water system, essentially twos. That's one of the guys who'd helped build them way back when going back to the site. I feel like if you're going to build something for the containment of water, one of the things you would want to look at as an engineer is, is water going to dissolve this containment unit? And then you should plan accordingly. second thing so you got the pipe coming from san diego all the way straight up from the wales vagina

to calgary meanwhile there's guys in regina and guys in laduke saying we have this exact same fucking pipe on hand in our yards why wouldn't you take it from us i assume because they wanted to have some kind of a nice story and oh we got it from san diego and it's it's far off and it's exotic. And, and that's how, how niche this stuff is. Do you mean to tell me that a quarter of the city's water goes through this exact fucking pipe and they don't have a spare piece on hand to fucking splice it up if they need to? It's absolutely insane. And now they're wondering where all the cost for this stuff is going to come from. Who's going to pay for all of this? You know, taxes are going to have to go up. And when you have,

where is it? Here you go. Here, just for example, the city of Calgary, Zoom in on a too. Organizational structure 2024. Okay. Now, keep in mind that only the top nine people in this organization are the pictures here. Every person in red underneath here is another person that just fills a bureaucratic role. You've got climate and environmentalism director Carolyn Bowen. You've got public spaces delivery. I don't think you can't really deliver a space. It's already there.

Real estate and development services. How the hell is partnerships? What the hell does that even mean? Somebody's job is partnerships director. All of this stuff. All of this stuff. Supply management. You don't want supply management.

you want supply chain management. All of these jobs could just disappear and maybe be done by like one person. So instead of having these fucking guys showing up in groves of like 20 at a time to do photo ops while all these repairs are going on, if they've got time for that, they don't need their fucking jobs.

You want to know where you can save money. First off, get rid of the Mustang EVs that the water department has. Get rid of the Ford Lightning EVs that the water department has and get rid of these 50 fucking in people who don't appear to accomplish much of anything. This week in FAAFO.

Fafo. We all know what that means. Employees at the O-C-F coffee house in Philadelphia voted to unionize. If you're Mrs. Doeman, it means fuck around, find out. One week later, all three stores closed down. Now they're protesting the closure. I'm going to read that one more time, so in case I went by that way too fast. Employees at the O-C-F coffee house in Philadelphia voted to unionize.

Interesting. One week later, all three stores closed down. So they're all out of jobs. And now they're protesting the closure. They're saying, well, you can't close this. We need these jobs. Like, well, if you really wanted these jobs, why did you want to unionize? It causes deadweight losses in the employment market.

And if there's too much deadweight losses, then you can't actually have people doing these things. Do you remember back in the day? Well, not even back in the day. It's a fairly common argument whenever minimum wage laws come up. People always say, well, you know what? If you can't afford to pay a living wage to these people, you shouldn't be in business anyway. How many times have you heard that exact same argument, Sean? And that's literally what happened was they said, we can't afford to pay what you have decided is a living wage.

So we're not going to be in business. This is literally what you asked for. And they're like, well, well, not like that. and then go ahead. And then here's Tracy Wilson, okay? How it started, how it's going. This is, she got, Chris Johnson said,

you're a gun lobbyist, you promote violence in our country, your children and grandchildren should be ashamed. Now, just before you get to the second part of it, this guy is a lawyer in BC somewhere, and he got a lot of backlash online over this, tried to delete the tweet,

but there was screenshots, and then he deleted his entire Twitter account. Not the kind of thing a person does when they're on the right side of an argument. Correct. And then I went to court. And here's a letter from Chris Johnson saying, On May 14th, 2024, I posted a statement on Twitter, also known as X,

which referred to Tracy Wilson, the vice president of public relations for the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights. I hereby retract my statement, which I regret making, and apologize to Ms. Wilson for any distress. my statement has caused. And remove his Twitter account and everything else. Yeah, so if you're a lawyer, maybe don't say things that are blatantly libeless.

Photo radar alignment issues. So the photo radars are now being cut down in Canada. And as you can see, the way it's been cut down at the stump, now it's not lined up and pointing at the intersection anymore. and it's not working properly. It's an absolute shame. I like this. I don't know who needs to hear this, but photo enforcement cameras

hold 5.5 pounds of copper. Yes. And so now that they're being chopped down, just, it's a safety concern because what if it falls the wrong way and it ends up on the roadway? So if you're ever using Google Maps,

they all pop up when you're driving around on Google Maps. You know exactly where they are and you know exactly where to find. them and you know exactly where to look for them with google maps it's built into it and if you're worried that one has or has not been cut down and you want to know more about its location for your own safety of course google maps will tell you about it it's not a tumor two's show the clip oh do to do da da da da da da da so as he's looking for it i got it right here primetime television racism.

I think your son's tumor was caused by racism. That's it. Can't wait to watch. Well, the interesting thing is that that's a clip that's like four years old, but it's from a show nobody ever watched for some reason. And then it just got noticed now and everybody was talking about it online this week. But yes, tumors cause racism. I'm surprised they didn't throw climate change.

change in there for good measure. Defund the police. The city of Seattle is looking to fill the depleted ranks of its police department with migrants whose children entered the country illegally. Deferred action for childhood arrivals, recipients, often known as dreamers, are migrants who enter the country illegally as minors and have since taken advantage of the DACA policy, an Obama-era program allows qualifying migrants the ability to defer action on deportation and gain work authorization in the United States.

United States to qualify under the DC, DACA program, recipients must have come to the U.S. before their 16th birthday and lack legal authorization to live in the United States. So the Seattle Police Department is hard off. It's so starved for people that they've gone through every, every person in the area, every, every group, you know, because they've spent a lot of time targeting minorities and women. And then, you know, they grudgingly went after some of the white man.

and then they probably went out for people with mental issues. And then now they've just ran out of legal immigrants. And so now they're going to have like it's interesting because illegal immigrants have this history in in the states of just doing the jobs nobody else wants. Like groundskeepers and pool boys and stuff like that. The ones where it's just a shit job that doesn't pay you and you bust your ass out in the hot sun all day. Nobody else wants this job. and so the immigrants come in and take it. And it's funny because you'll have people saying,

oh, they're taking our jobs. But it's all the jobs that they didn't want anyway. So who cares? But this is funny because, again, the tradition of illegal immigrants taking the jobs that nobody else wants. Seattle Police Force. The NDP are not a serious party.

Here is Pierre Polia. You can't buy loyalty like this except with a pension. And I'm going to, it's Justin Trudeau. sitting there and let's just look on the wall, shall we folks? And on the wall is a picture of Jagmeet Singh in a frame picture that says employee of the month. And I would say that that's fairly well played on Polyev's part. It's pretty well established that the left can't mean, but I would say that politicians tend to suck at it too.

Because it's an even finer line for politicians because you have to be funny and interesting and engaging. but you don't want something that's going to cost you too many votes. And I would say that this hits the nail on the head pretty well and points to why the NDP can't pick up any of the liberal support. To the window, to the paywall. Finance Minister Christia Freeland has come out in support of sharing password-protected news stories following a federal court ruling that permits the practice. You may have recalled from last week we talked about blacklocks

and how the fact that Parks Canada bought a membership and then basically said any other employees could use said membership. Of the 2000 employees in that department. Essentially, Christia Freeland went on to talk about how. Well, I do it too. Yeah. She is a former journalist.

Yes. This is, I mean, journalist in quotation marks, but this is her former industry. And for all of the posturing that the liberals love, to do about how they need to support media and how media is dying in Canada. And we need to do everything we can to support media, except when it's the ones who are, the other thing we didn't talk about with Blacklocks is that they are the most nonpartisan of

any reporting in Canada. It's literally, it's, it's literally just, here's what happened. Here's the stuff we asked for. Here's what they said. Like, I think we're pretty unbiased. But they are genuinely just completely, like, every party has an equal, I would say, like this, like every, every politician, regardless of your stripe in Canada, should think roughly the same thing about blacklocks. And if you're frustrated with them, unless all they do is expose corruption and chicanery. Yeah.

Unless you know, maybe that's on you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. In-flight meals join the Mile High Club. New records show that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's six-day Indo-Pacific trip in September 2020, had a catering bill of more than $223,000. And it went on to say, if we assume, you know, I enjoyed this, if we assume that the $223,000 was shared equally among 72 passengers, that comes out to $3,100 per person or $516 per person per day. And again, that's the only in-flight food.

It's not anything else. It's just the in-flight food. It's not the cost of the tickets or the flight or anything like that. That's a whole lot of minutes. A day in-in-flight food. Yeah. Yeah. If you were to get on a flight to, I don't know, some random place,

you're going to go to Denver for a snowboarding trip or something like that. And you buy every single person on that flight. a meal. It would still be a fraction of that. And I do love how Tristan Hopper, who, if anybody's been watching him, I don't know, maybe he's always been like this and I never noticed, but over the past several months, I've really been liking the things he's had to say. And he started talking about how much orange juice you could buy with it, which maybe

means he's a mashup fan because we've talked about that exact same thing before. But yeah, how many how many. bathtub's full of $16 orange juice you could buy with this. You know, if there's been one trend in 112 weeks, twos, it has been how much our government spends.

It's literally insane. It is insane. And then they come out and lecture us on how capital gains tax, isn't that big of a deal. And on and on and on. We need to just ask for a little bit more from our wealthiest people.

How about you guys just fucking bring a bottle of water on the flight and shut your big fucking yappers and quit putting pistachio cheesecake in them? The science is settled. Trudeau's Environmental Ministers has banned the sale of compact fluorescent bulbs despite them once being told as being climate friendly. Here's our favorite environmental minister, Stephen Gibba, announced the ban of the items saying that it was crucial to protect the health of Canadians.

They'll ban light bulbs. They won't ban something else. As a known toxic substance, mercury has been managed in many ways over the past 50 years. We've seen the release of mercury into the air, the water declined by half since 2007. It is crucial that we continue to protect

the health of Canadians and their environment while encouraging business to transition to safer alternatives, said Gibal, in a statement. This guy's insane. He's stupid. Granted, it's been 20 years since they were touted as being environmentally friendly. but it was the liberals who did it before then too.

And you've got again, like it's just, oh, this is, this is the thing that we need to do and everybody needs to do this and the science is settled and you're a bigot if you don't do it. Oh shit. Yeah, actually, we need to take these off the shelves because they're pretty fucking bad. But at the same time, Stephen Giebal is not really known for being a smart man. Like I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to ban songs by Queen from the because they have too much mercury in them. Well played.

Someone else is finally talking about the far left. Financial Post, if you go to the CBC, this is a financial post article, apologies. If you go to the CBC website and search far right, you get 2,457 hits. If you search far left, you get 219. Less than 9% that number. So incidentally, you get exactly the same.

This continues. you get a incidentally, you get exactly the same totals if you use a hyphen far right and far left, which means the CBC search engine is hyphen blind. If you search far out, by the way, you get 329 hits, 50% more than far left. So basically the article's pointing out the fact that we've got an issue with the far left that nobody's talking about. Or at least nobody in written publications is talking about. Correct. Correct. So I don't know.

Is the tide turning? Is it coming around? People are starting to notice it's not just us. Tews was right. Chief meteorologist at Global News, Anthony Farnow. Here we go. Bringing it up. The 43 Humidex in Toronto right now is the highest I've seen it

at least a few years. This is awesome. Do you remember, were you around for this? One week ago, last Friday, I was talking on a podcast about how they've gone so far with the red and how they've pushed that color red as far as they possibly can

that they can't go any further and they've got to come up with something else on the color palette that's completely away from that. And I had suggested it was going to be neon. Yes, and they went deep purple. And then they went deep purple. And so, yeah, they

a week ago, I was saying that they can't go any further with how scary they've made the weather with their current palettes for the maps, and they need to come up with the new color. And then, a week later, but a bang, bada boom, purple. I like this, though. I guess I saw that, but this is what made me try. The 43 human X in Toronto right now, right now is the highest I've seen in at least a few years, in at least a few years. Not ever, not like in at least a few years. I'm like, that is, that is the chief meteorological, at global news saying in at least a few years. I just, you know, and bring on the purple.

What comes after purple twos? I think it's going to be neon. I think they got to switch to a completely new palette. I think is what's going to happen. But, I mean, we should have a betting pool. We should have a betting pool. What color comes up? What the next scariest possible color is going to be on the weather map?

I think three to one odds. It's going to be a neon. but you know what we could maybe do like four or five to one on some type of chartreuse I don't even know what that is it's just the biggest word I know about a color

it might not even it might not even be a thing turns out summer is hot yep breaking news folks summer is hot there here you go there's chartruse yellow green color So it's almost, it's almost a neon color.

Oh, well, yeah, I guess I guess I'm being redundant then. I don't know. Fired for being right. This is Northern Perspective. I honestly, I'd never, I'd never even heard of these guys. Right. But once again, in Canada, I'm like, does that surprise me? No, because anyways, they were fired for exposing Trudeau's corruption via Twitter.

not via YouTube. They disclosed some information about a Rive scam or Arrive Canon app, and they were both government workers. And what happened was they were told that as federal employees, they had to disclose any other income sources. And they were making an income as this YouTube channel, Northern perspective. Where they were on there anonymously. Yes.

And so they disclosed that. And the government said, uh-uh, you're not talking bad about us. Yeah. You have. you're going to be fired. And they said, well, we're not going to stop.

And they said, okay, well, now you're fired. So it was actually the guy who worked there. It's a husband-wife couple. Correct.

The guy worked for government Canada. And bringing daylight to things like the arrive can app and how bad that has gotten. You would think, if nothing else, like this is why I guess I could never be in politics is because I would look at it. And I'd be like, well, good on them.

you know what i wish every single government employee had a podcast where they could go on and talk about whatever greasy shit is happening because that's how you get rid of the greasy stuff and instead they're like no no you you can't do that you can't just tell everybody how much we're wasting their money and if you're going to do that you can't work here no more and so he got fired yeah it wild times continue in Canada as we're seeing as we're seeing this is literally them financially stifling their political opponents. And it's not even like he's a conservative and the liberals are in charge. He's saying, look at this greasy shit that's happening in our government.

Last Oilers discussion for twos, he thought, I know twos thought, as did every Calgary Flames fan. Heck, as did in a brothers roundtable sitting with my brothers, there was nobody that thought this was going to be possible. game six tonight and I don't know if you're pretty why don't we just why don't we just cancel that can we get rid of that

can we pause thank you finally for fuck sakes all right Leanne Taylor says believe you got it Leanne you got it faith is being sure of what we cannot see so

yeah I would say it applies for for the Leafs You got Jim Carrey wearing an Oilers jersey saying, so you're saying there's a chance. Correct. Yeah. It is not time to hop on the train. Tews is not hopping on the train.

Tews is going to be real excited for the Panthers. Here's, this is noteworthy, though. Listen to this. So this is in Edmonton, the Canadian anthem being sang by the entire stadium. and there's no way they could have planned this ahead of time. But everybody in the damn stadium, as much as I love to rag on Edmonton for sucking about everything,

says sons. They sang the old pre-Trudeau version of the national anthem. And so a little bit of credit where it's due. Good job, Oilers fans. And we all know where Toos sits anyways, don't we, folks? He keeps wanting to kick it out, but that's where he's at. I don't know why he's so embarrassed, Tews. It's just you all brought on the Panthers bandwagon.

I just thought it was funny. So this is, for those of you listen, the Photoshop picture we talked about last week from the machinist, where it's my head on somebody who's wearing a Flames jersey, where there's some hockey tape across the front of it, and Panthers is written. We know Toos is going to be twisting and turning. That's right.

Derek, if the Oilers, when they win, I'm going to be insufferable. But you know what the nice thing is? We're going to talk about it because you're not going to have to hear me for a month. We'll talk about that here shortly. But for one more week, one more week, 113, let's hope Oilers fans that I get to come on here and be the most unsufferable human being on the planet. So you're aware, Sean, the word is insufferable. Insufferable. It's right now.

Honestly, it doesn't even matter. Insufferable, unsufferable. Go Oilers. Rock and roll. All right. Shrinkflation hits women where it hurts. And I don't know her too. well, let's go with this.

Okay, y'all, this is your idea. Sure. Shrunk the tampons and the fads without telling anyone shrinkflation. So many people think their flows have gotten heavier because they're running through the menstrual products when it's really just companies being greedy. I hate it. There it is. So they're talking about women's products, too.

What do you have to say about shrinkflation? Well, this is something we need to take seriously, Sean, especially with all the stigmas associated with periods and how we just had a day for them. And, you know, rather than worrying about standardizing something or or making sure that you don't have unnecessary medical appointments in an already overwhelmed medical system because shrinkflation has come to the amount of cotton or absorbent or whatever it is, we need to just do whatever is going to make absolutely no fucking difference, which is hang a goddamn flag for period awareness day. All right. From shrinkflation to something that maybe actually kind of matters, update Cuban destroyer crisis. Defense Minister Bill Blair said he authorized a Canadian Navy vessel to sail into Havana's harbor last week at the request of a Navy commander's as part of a mission to demonstrate Canada's capabilities. Quoted, their job is to demonstrate our presence there to demonstrate our naval capability and to demonstrate and assert Canada's commitment to safe and open waters throughout the Americas. That's why we were there. Can you imagine the Russians watching a Canadian destroy,

a Canadian ship, Navy vessel, roll in. Clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk. Pride month flag flowing as it rolls in. It doesn't even have a Canada flag hanging off of it. It's just whatever the newest gay pride flag is. They just think it's, it's that boat from the start of arrested development, basically. That's probably how they rolled in. And then here's the thing.

And I wish I had a thought of this when we talked about it last week. But I think I was the first person on Twitter to make this observation. why are we sending a ship to Cuba? Well, Trudeau sent it there on Father's Day weekend. I didn't catch that. That's a good observation. We should know, everybody should know,

that it has now left Tavana, and it is on its way back to Canada. So, like, it wasn't there, it literally was there for Father's Day and turned around, essentially, what Tuesday is pointing out. Yeah, and now it's got to go, all the way from Cuba to Canada,

so it should be docking anytime in 2027. Wind jobs blown away. Germany's top wind turbine makers sacks 4,100 workers overnight. What do you want to say? Wind turbines, now that the grant money isn't blowing at them as hard, and people are more starting to find out the limitations, Germany is literally tearing down windmills to build coal mines.

and as such there's fewer demand for windmails and the people who get paid to make them don't have as much work to do and so they don't need to work there anymore and their companies aren't making money and as we previously established if you can't afford to pay somebody a living wage you shouldn't be in business anyway funny that that never seems to apply to green projects i was just talking to this electrician the other day. He did some contract work for a bug farm in a warehouse somewhere around Calgary

a few years ago. And basically he was like, they got a grant from the government. They built this thing until the grant money ran out and then they just closed up shop. Update. Heist and bad headlines. Well, you may recall that gold going missing from the Pearson Airport a while back. Well, here's an update. A former Air Canada manager wanted a

wanted on a Canada-wide warrant in relation to a $20 million gold heist has agreed to turn himself in. Pansar quit his job as manager at the Air Canada cargo facility a few months after the heist and disappeared. Police announced the charges against him and ate others in April. Lafonteen, his lawyer said he contacted police and the Crown prosecutors to tell him that Panasar planned to return voluntary to Canada in the next few weeks. The CBC reported on Friday. Quoted, he is anxious to have an opportunity to demonstrate his absolute innocence, Lafantan, and is adding that Panasara is tidying up his affairs abroad in preparation of his return to Canada. That means probably stockpiling the gold in some deep hole.

No, here's the thing. He's totally innocent. He says, the lawyer says that his client is, quote, very confident in the Canadian justice system. When this prosecution is over, he will have been absolved of any wrongdoing. And then the headline, here's the headline for it. It says, former Air Canada manager to surrender in 20, $20 million gold heist case, his lawyer says. It's just, it's, it's interesting because you're, is he really surrendering?

Is he actually surrendering? It just, it's, it's, it's kind of a weird choice of words. But yeah, he's, he's coming back. He's coming back to Canada for this. If he was, I don't know why he doesn't go to Diddy's mansion, his new mansion, wherever it is. he's confident in the Canadian justice system? Okay.

Yeah. Well, you know what? I mean, lastly, we had a guy trying to stab somebody who got out on jail and then got on jail. If I was a fucking murderer, I would say the exact same thing. I'm confident in the Canadian justice system. The only people who aren't confident in the Canadian justice system are the innocent people. Correct. Zane says that Bug Place in Calgary sounds a lot like China.

subsidies to appear like we care. Well, that's exactly it. Like, that's the way most of this stuff is. It's just, let's pretend like we're doing something interesting without actually doing it. Happy news. Okay, engineering students at John Hopkins University were tasked with an ambitious challenge. Redesign a leaf floor to be as powerful as ever, but without the ear piercing noise that has been led to its ban in some communities.

The four-member team experimented with over 40 versions before settling on the final design an attachment that acts like a silencer on a gun or a muffler on a car, significantly reducing noise. It's been picked up by a whole bunch of brands. It sounds like it's going to be sold all over the place. And I don't know, pretty ingenuitive or creative or whatever word do you want to attach. Yes, absolutely. And it's interesting that engineering students came up with it.

They're not really known for practical solutions. And the cool thing about having it as an attachment is that, presumably if the sizing correlates, you can have it with any brand of leaf blower, including pre-existing ones. So they actually threw a little bit of business sense at this. It's funny, though, do you remember three, four weeks ago when we talked about the cities in Toronto

that want to get rid of yard work noise after 5 p.m. Because they want everybody to get rid of gas-powered mowers. Yes. And then, well, you know, is it, it's going to be interesting. Can you use a gas-powered leaf blower if it's got this silencer on it? I mean, it solves the problem. You say you don't want things to be loud. Okay, well, now we got it quiet.

Oh, yeah, but not like that. Not like that. You need to do it our way. Right. That's exactly what's going to happen. We both know it is. I can't wait to talk about that in a future episode. Community notes.

June 22nd, that's tomorrow night. You got Aaron Goodvin and Garrett Gregory, Mar Wayne. You have tonight across in Bonneville, you have James Lindsay. He's here all weekend. So make sure you find your way to one of those because I think that'll be exceptional. You have Shine Christian Academy, their homeschool cooperative here in Lloyd Minster and Streamtown. They've got two locations. They're currently accepting students for registration at both locations.

You can check out S-C-A-Albeta.ca.ca.com. SCAalberta.ca for that. And then we alluded to or two is wait before I get into guests in July. Is there any other community events I haven't talked about? No, no, that's it. The docket cleared up pretty, uh, oh, um, 29th, Erdry rodeo. Any fans of Terrick Elnaga, he's going to be there making one of his first pro

rodeo appearances. Very nice. Team roping. Very nice. When is that June 29? Eric? June 29th. June 29th. Shout out to Terrick. Yeah, that'll be, I'll pay attention on Twitter, see how he does. For July, we alluded to this, in July. John's going on a walkabout. That's right. The wife and I and the kids are going on a road trip.

We're balking at what the government said not to do, and we're going to take a road trip. And so what we're doing for the mashups is there's still going to be airing, same time, same place, with a different co-host. And so we got a few different ones coming in. Already, so all four Fridays of July, going to have somebody sitting across from twos that's a little different. So the first one, July 5th, is going to be Chuck Prodnick. July 12th is going to be Vance Crowe.

And July 19th is going to be Drew Weatherhead. So there's three already booked in, and we'll see who we can get for a fourth to sit across from twos. Either way, the month of July is going to be an interesting little month with a few different people showing up on the mashup to have a little bit of fun. Yeah, it'll be great to figure out who the new permanent co-host is going to be.

So the Sean Newman replacement tour? Yeah. Yeah. I think it's going to be fun. Yes. I really liked when we had Vance on. And it was, it was great, but different.

And it was different because it was great. It was great because it was different. and it was it was really cool to have him be like you know i had to explain things a little bit more because he doesn't follow canada politics as like he doesn't live in canada and so it gave me a chance to actually have to think my way through exactly why this was something that we needed to talk about and what the implications were and things like that and so it it probably made it a lot more accessible for for a lot of people people and I thought it was wonderful.

And you know who's going to be on the 26th? Who's that? I believe. Yeah. It's going to be quick dick, McDick. Nice. So there,

that looks like it's going to line up the four for July. So you're going to have, you know, I'm going to be, it's going to be August and nobody's going to want me back. Maybe I'll just keep, you know, maybe I'll just become a fan of the Tuesday,

the mashup, you know? It's just like, where trying to go? I don't know. They replaced them. Either way, it's going to be a fun little little,

He took a month off. It was an absolute banger, and his job wasn't there when he came back. That's the risk you run into with going on vacation. I know when I lived in Lloyd, working for this one particular service rig company. I've been there for like two straight years without taking any sort of a vacation. And then I finally got to the point where I was like, I'm going to go to Mexico for a week. And they said, well, I don't know if your job's still going to be here when you get back. and I'm like, fair enough.

It is what it is. Let me know when I land back in Canada. Oh, man. Okay. Folks, 112 in the books. You get me for one more week. 113 next Friday. We're going to have some fun.

If you were in around Bonneville tonight, I hope to see you there. Tews, as always. We'll catch up to you next week. Good, sir. Folks, thanks for hopping on for the live stream and tune in until next week. All right.

Thank you.
