the mashup tell me whether I'm wrong or right Easter west up or down side to side I sit to stand and fall to fly I've all of my impulsive plans popping lock and salsa dances on demand I follow leading off the map and stop the chatter scream happily

Welcome to the mashup Welcome to the mashup Welcome to the mashup The universe is just wonderful sometimes Yesterday Middle of nowhere I find a in great condition screwdriver. Totally unclaimed.

Nobody could reasonably make any claim to it. That's my new screwdriver. It looked like it might have been a Robertson at some point and somebody just hammered out the end of it and made the head of it flat. I don't know what you'd call it, but that's what the screwdriver is. And then have my first ballgame of the season

and open up my bag to check everything out. There's still two beer in there. Ball beer, bag beer, all ready to go. It was all queued up. It was wonderful. Yeah, just the universe. Sometimes, sometimes it just throws you nice stuff. Tews, it's great to see you.

You're sticking around today? As far as I know, all signs point to yes. I'll say that. The, well, all signs point to yes. It's going to be a good Friday, I feel. Tews is here for the long run, maybe. Mashup 209. Welcome everybody. Happy Friday. Lots to get to this week, I think. Before that. So last week, everything was fine for anybody and everybody concerned. It was just staffing mix up at the

vape store. And I was the only person remotely close and able to get to it. And so that was it. I had to go. I hate to sound like a naggy wife, but a naggy co-host. But next, time to say, hey, everything's out good. That literally would have been, I can't make it. Everything's out fine. All right. Yeah, that's probably fair. Me and the audience are like, with anybody,

hopefully nobody died. Hopefully there's nothing like really serious going on. Like, hopefully no nice people died. And then I think it's like halfway through up talking to truck of dust and I get a text about, I forget what you were texting me about. About the Odyssey. So that was the thing. All right.

And then I'm like, nobody, he's got to be okay because he's literally texting me about. the Odyssey. So if something's really bad, I'm like, I mean, he wouldn't be texting me about the other. Okay. So you, you totally drop the ball on this. And I'm not going to give Chuck and dust hell because they, no, you're not going to give Chuck and dust. You're just going to show up and give me a hard time. Yes, that is correct. But it's not going to be, I left you in a fairly difficult position. So I'm going to play it fairly nice. Everybody on the line is upset that a

transgender is playing the role of Achilles. in the Odyssey. And they think it's a huge miscasting thing because, hey, 20 years ago you had Brad Pitt playing Achilles and fighting Eric Banna. And it was this big thing. And now you've got this tiny

Auschwitzian lady playing Achilles who's now transgender. Why would you ever cast them like that? And then I specifically gave, I specifically mentioned that in book 20, of the Odyssey, it discusses how Achilles murdered 12 children. And in this day and age, who could be more accurate in terms of portraying somebody who's willing to go around mass killing children than a transgender?

And none of you put that together. That's why we're missing you, too, is me? I guess. I guess. I guess. Have we confirmed that she's playing Achilles? Or is it just like speculation stuff? No.

It's speculation. Pretty darn likely. So in the Odyssey, Achilles, it's not the whole thing with, where he intersects in the Odyssey is where Odysseus meets him in the afterlife. And so being a shriveled remnant of what he used to be might also be more accurate. But then there's also a couple people saying, well, maybe Ellen Page was instead playing another character. So it's people are pretty sure it's Keeleys, but it's not confirmed yet. Interesting.

Okay. Well, happy Friday, happy, happy, Airborne Friday. Yes, happy Airborne Friday. Shut out to all the military boys out there. And I don't know, 209. It feels like it's going to be an interesting week. If you're enjoying the show, make sure to like, subscribe. And if you're on X, hit the retweet button, share out with a friend.

And thanks for joining us on the water cooler. Yeah. I was talking with a guy who's his wife tunes in every week, oddly enough. And I was like, you're like, I don't know his wife. But apparently she knows us. Okay. And so, Rina, hi. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for tuning in.

Yeah. I chuckle about it. There's a lot of wives or women who tune in to have a laugh at some of the Rants, too, as goes on. So there you go. I think it's a lot more because I'm, beautiful, but whatever. I don't know, folks.

Is that true? Oh, yeah, because you're just sitting here forehead mogging me. All right, coot six and a half. Let's turn to the Alberta RCMP this week, Alberta RC, which was that Japan was regrowing teeth. What? In the happy news, Japan is work, they've got this new experimental drug that'll make your teeth grow back.

and I specifically put that in for you because I figured you would find that to be incredibly happy news. Lisa chimed in saying I'm one of them here for the shenanigans. Well. Somebody says shenanigans again. They're going to get pissed on.

Hey. Hey, Farva. What's that restaurant you like with all the goo- shenanigans? Shenanigans? Anyways. Ah, ah, all right. All right.

Alberta RC&P, here we go. Coutts six and a half. officer accused of sexual assault pleads guilty to common assault on teen boys. And Alberta RC&P officer who was charged with sexually assaulting two teenage boys, has pleaded guilty to one count of common assault. As part of the plea deal on Tuesday, Constable Bridget Morla admitted to an inappropriately touching two teenagers in Airdry hotel room back in 2022. Kristen Moore told the judge,

the plan is for crown and fence to present a joint position on sentencing for discharge of some sort. That means Morla has been found guilty, but we'll not have a... She was already looking for a discharge, but continue. Have a criminal conviction. If found guilty, no, not if found guilty. Let me finish this Tuesday, and stop interrupting me. Kristen Moore told the judge, the plan is for the crown and defense to present a joint position on sentencing for discharge of some sort. That means Morla has been found guilty, but will not have a criminal conviction on a record is unclear whether the parties will seek an absolute or conditional discharge. An absolute discharge means more.

Morla would walk away with no consequences. A conditional discharge would involve some sort of court order conditions for a set period of time. She admitted to touching the shoulders and thighs of a 16-year-old. She also admitted to accidentally touching his groin area. Upon learning another teen in the hotel room was 17 years old, Morla commented that he was legal and then tickled his upper body and placed her fingers inside his waistband. accidentally touched his groin area. Kevin chimed in.

Carmen thinks two should be missed in November in the mashup calendar. I mean, can you imagine a mashup calendar? That could be fun, full of gingers, I feel like. Ain't twos? I mean,

presumably the whole idea is to try and sell calendars. Like, oh, you know what actually would be good? Is a calendar where every time you flip it to a new month, there's a ginger on the backside of it that you cannot see. Oh, man.

You would not believe how crazy the picture you can't see of the July person is. Would people buy a mashup calendar? I feel like we'd sell like three. Probably. Probably. It'd be funny. Be funny.

Watch it ends up being some stupid viral thing. We all get yachts. Oh, man. Okay, let's talk about last night's, oh, man, and Carmen. Weird? Right here. Garmin, ginger inclusion, all for it. Okay.

Yeah, we'll have ginger's on the back of the calendar. For anyone wanting to know, Carmen is the lady who got twos the ginger shirt, which he promptly lost, and which she said, I'll punch him in the balls the next time. I see them. we're all waiting. Okay, we're all waiting. She's not wrong for being upset. Yeah.

I still feel genuinely bad about it. Okay, so Daniel Smith had the news conference, or not conference, a press release. I don't know, what are we calling last night? Well, let's rewind just a moment here in the timeline. There's been quite a few updates as we go through this thing as it laid out. So the first thing that happened was, you know, not unlike what that constable was looking for.

There was a premature release. And the UCP accidentally put out a press statement about the decision that hadn't been released yet. And so it's interesting. Alberta Referendum Committee meeting implodes when UCP prematurely releases statement. Now, it's all about how mad the opposition is, which in Alberta is the NDP. Who's the head of the NDP? in Alberta. Nahed Nenshi? Nahed Nenshi. Does that look in any way, shape, or form like Nihid Nenshi?

No. That's Raki Pachuli, okay? Let's scroll down. Let's see what else is there. Oh, there she is again. Oh. There she is again. There's Thomas Likazek. And then there's one picture of a whole bunch of Albertans with Alberta flags. So it's interesting that you're talking about the NDP and you have three different pictures of the same lady who is not the current leader. Now, I would say this lends itself to one of two conclusions.

Which is. One, she's getting set up to take over the party before the next election. Or two, everybody's, like, we were the first to write off Nahed, Denchie is being irrelevant, stupid, and a colossal waste of time, which is why we were also glad that he got nominated as leader. Okay.

And maybe, so the other possibility is just that maybe even on a subconscious level, the media is starting to pick up on that too. And it's funny because Nehita Anci has been pounding one drum very fervently lately. Just the one. He's just got the one movement. he's doing the dice too much. And it's the UCP are a bunch of separatists. Okay.

I got one move. So here's the thing. His move is the UCP are a bunch of separatists. And while he's doing his one move, the NDP is slowly starting to get to a point where they're absolutely fucking tanking in the polls. So again, two conclusions to draw. One, either he fucking sucks. and or separatism is a lot more palatable

policy stance in Alberta than him or anybody in the mainstream media is willing to acknowledge. Because if you're painting them as a bunch of evil separatists and their support keeps going up, either you suck at messaging or people are like, wait, they are a bunch of separatists? okay, all right. Those are the only two ways to go with this.

There can be overlap, but that's it. And so you keep seeing these interesting nuggets that would probably tell you that separatism is a lot more popular than anybody in front of a taxpayer-subsidized microphone is willing to admit. Yeah, well, I think, that's obvious. And I think the attacks are...

It's obvious. It's obvious intuitively. But these are the logical conclusions that you can draw from the nuggets out there that also lend themselves to that conclusion, if that makes sense. I think it does. I mean, it's one thing for us to say, oh, yeah, well, obviously separatism is awesome and everybody should love it. And if you don't, you need to read more about it. But that's not really the kind of selling it that pointing out things like that does, I think. Um, let's talk about last night's address, public address. Um, the question, I've been, me and twos were arguing about this before we got going, okay? Daniel Smith says the question

that's going to be added to the referendum is as follows. Actually, you could probably pull it up on the screen if you want. I don't, is, is it, I don't know if I've got it handy. I don't. Oh, here. I'll pull it up on. No, no, I'll pull it up here. I should be able to. Maybe. Maybe. Okay, well, why don't you just read it off? Just breathe a little bit. We got time. There it is, okay?

Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada? Now, I sit and read that question over and over and over again, and I'm like, if you answer yes to the first part, it conflicts with the second part.

And if you answer no to the first part, it conflicts with the second part. So it has to be a two-part or two questions separate it, doesn't it? Or the simple answer is that this is not to be taken verbatim. You're over-autisming this, okay? I'm over-autisming this. Okay. I listen to the premier have a scripted address where she says,

the question being added and then spits that out. Sean, when I need to know how many toothpicks somebody spilled on the floor and I have 1.3 seconds to figure it out, I'll ask you. In the meantime, the simple answer here is that this is what the question is going to be discussing and the exact wording of it is going to come out at a future date. Is that what everybody else got? Did she say, we're going to, we're going to, we can't possibly have that as a question on a referendum. Like, it's basically the longest ballot committee referendum question all on its own. It's going to be like a five-page question with yes, no, or I have no idea what the fuck you just asked me.

Okay. Maybe. Okay. Fine. I can be wrong. I'm fine with being wrong. I just like, I listen to it. It's got to be a two-part question.

Or it's got to be a better question. If that's the question being added to the referendum. It's the concept being added to the referendum. It's not the question. Okay. Now, can we talk about the... What's a good way to put it? The irreverency of having a referendum on the concept of having a referendum as the result of a committee that was delegated by a previous referendum or pardon me, a petition.

A petition led to a committee, which is now leading to a referendum on whether or not we're going to have a second referendum. This is vog gone bullshit. Did you listen to her address? I saw some clips of it. So you didn't listen to it. No, I did. I did see some clips, but I didn't watch the whole thing. It's like, nobody's ever read the whole thing.

So I watched the whole thing. And what I understood was because of the court ruling, they're not allowed. And maybe I'm bungling this. But unlikely the court will permit a binding referendum on separation. So in listening to a bunch of different people talk about this, as it stands right now, they can't have a binding referendum on separation

the way it has been put forward. So they have to have a referendum to pull it up. And I'm trying to wrap my brain around this too. I was saying to somebody this morning, they asked me about it. And I'm like, I don't know. I need to think about it more on what she's even, I'm trying to wrap my head.

I've listened to it like three times now. And I'm like, I don't, like, it feels like she's stuck in a rock and a hard place or maybe the entire thing is. And maybe somebody else is going to say, she could just call it right now. But she keeps pointing to the court ruling, which we, I think, all stare at. And we had a whole mashup last week talking about. Nobody was in favor of the court getting into this, but they did.

And that sets in motion a whole bunch of other things, doesn't it? Mm-hmm. Now, my understanding is that she could at any time, as could any other Premier, just say, we're having a vote on this. having a referendum on this. Sure. And I'm wondering how much of it is her getting stuck because she's been progressively playing the middle road, middle of the road. She's not taking a stance on this anyway or the other, which I can appreciate. But, you know, when she says, okay, well, we're going to have a referendum on October 19th and we're going to ask a whole bunch of questions. And maybe it's possible that it got missed that the Clarity Act requires

a referendum for one specific question and that being on secession. It can't be lumped in with anything about time changes or school composition or what the fuck ever else. And so now she's already, she

added a whole bunch of superfluous referendum questions. Like just really low hanging fruit for October 19th. And the question is why. And I thought it was because at the time, I thought, okay, well, this is going be a nice way to shoehorn in a referendum. We're having a referendum regardless because we've got to

have it on all this other stuff. Sure. And then now it's okay, well, the Clarity Act requires it to be a referendum on one question. And now we're already obligated to do all these other stupid questions. So your option A is to backtrack on the other stupid questions and just unilaterally call a referendum. Yeah. So if a million people had signed, but you look at it. Okay. So you can hate Lekezzik's question all you want. He got more signatures. She doesn't just represent separatists. She represents everyone.

So, you know, as much as we hate her for splitting the middle of the road, right now, you got 400,000 to 300,000. Yep. This is why the staying Canada people are screaming, we had more whatever. You can't. Yeah, it was a completely different process. I agree with you, but the numbers are the numbers. And so she sits there.

numbers are not the numbers. The numbers are apples and spaceships. You can put it that way, but like you show up. Tell me I'm wrong. You show up Monday. You got $400,000 on Wednesday. You got $300,000 on the inside. The court ruled that they weren't even going to count them. So as far as I know, what I understand is they're appealing it. And an appeal as Eva said on the show. And then Daniel Smith said in her address last night could take months or years. And we go probably years. And so that is binding law until it is successfully appealed if it ever gets to the point where they rule that the court fell outside its jurisdiction or wherever we're calling it. So it's unlikely the courts will permit a binding referendum on separation. That's Daniel Smith last night.

Yep. Okay. And so now they're in a situation where the only legal recourse that they have because of an activist judge from New Brunswick taking a very, very spurious. view of the interpretation of the law is that the only legal avenue they have at this point who's also pointed by a liberal by the way the only legal avenue they have at this point is to do something frivolous at best

or she could with her power as premier say that we are going to have a referendum on this in October 19th as a standalone question we're going to put all the other stupid shit that I said we were going to talk about, it doesn't matter. We're going to have this ballot on October 19th. And she could, in theory, because she has the capability of doing that, could do it. But the political cost might be more than what she's willing to accept.

As I've watched Daniel Smith, and I could be wrong on this. Forgive me, folks, I can be wrong on this. She left it. Is it about toothpicks? She lowered the threshold, 177,000. go get your signatures. The signatures came back at 300,000. If it had been a million,

like Mitch Sylvester and all of them we're hoping to get, I think we're having a different conversation today. But the card that's been handed to her is 300,000 versus 400,000. We can get into apples to oranges and different, you know, what did you call it? Spaceships to...

Apples to spaceships. Right. And so she's sitting there and I don't know. You want her to call a referendum on, and there's a whole bunch of things that have changed. A court ruled on it. Yes, we know that they're a liberal appointed judge. We've been watching the courts do all this crazy stuff for how long now, twos. Ruling on something brought forward by a guy who accepted $50,000 from the Tides Foundation.

We've been doing this for 209 episodes. I mean, I'm not surprised by it. I just look at her. Did anybody expect Daniel Smith to come up? Wouldn't it have been a shocker if she would have came out and said, we are getting rid of all nine questions, we're going to have one question, and we're going to see what Albertans want?

I think that would have surprised all of us. Oh, holy crap. And then I'm pretty sure that her base would have been incredibly happy. Her opponents would have lost their freaking minds. The mainstream media would have lost their freaking minds. Mainstream media is still losing their minds. Yeah. And here's the thing. They'd actually have something

not valid, but they'd have something substantial to lose their minds over. And so, you know, it's just we've talked about it before. We're going to get any number of hurdles put in front of this.

It's never going to end. The can's going to continue to be kicked. And you need to be able to just stand up in front of them and say, you all are being dicks. You need to fuck off and this is what we're doing. Now, it's a very tricky thing to do because, you know, your entire livelihood is, you're betting your entire livelihood on this. But you know what? You're also betting the livelihoods of every future generation in this country.

And so we're in a situation where, you know what? I've been saying lots of people in Canada have been saying, that Danielle Smith has the biggest balls of any premier in this country. That would be a big ball move. And it's probably not too late to just go ahead and do something like that. Because if you don't, then people

are going to start looking at alternative methods. People are going to start getting a little bit crazy. People, and this isn't a threat. Are you bringing up a dozer? Oh, no, no, shoot. That was just up there by accident. I don't even know why there's a thing on the screen saying bulldozers for

sale. But people are going to start. From I won't, I won't name the person going somewhere Chuck is screaming by himself. Things are about to get spicy. And I chuckled. I'm like, yeah. Well, I mean, that's the thing.

You know what? There's some people who are just like, hey, if this is what you want, this can be provided. And maybe. maybe it would make sense for the establishment in this country to just lay off the fucking cattle prod stuck up our ass a little bit every once in a while.

I know. If we'd had a, like, if you go back two, three weeks when we're sitting around chatting and we went, you know, the number one question was getting asked was, do you think a referendum's actually going to be successful? Because everybody assumed now you got the signatures,

referendum's going to come. Now, if you take out the court and you just, you go, is a referendum going to be successful? The fear was from a lot of people is it wasn't. And then what is your, what is your action after that? What do you do after an unsuccessful referendum? Only 40% say they want to leave. 42%. There's a lot of fear on the separation side that it's not going to go through.

And there is a lot of fear on the federalist side that it will. that's the interesting thing. See, because it's not like they, you know, you get these ass-face slubs showing up on mainstream media doing quick little quippy bullshit fucking snippets that they can try and put up on social media saying that this is going to be detrimental to Alberta's economy. Motherfucker, you have done everything you could to destroy this economy for a fucking decade. And now this is the exact moment in fucking time where you've decided. that you actually just altruistically magnanimously give a flying shit about anything that happens in Western Canada and the economy contained they're in, fuck all the way off and go a little bit fucking further. All right.

Shall we carry on? Okay. Did I make that point, though? Was that clear? The fact that they're just like, well, you know what? This is really going to hurt Alberta's economy. Motherfucker, you don't give a shit about Alberta's economy, which means that you give a shit about something else. Listen, I was on late in gray last night.

And I didn't, I hadn't listened to the entire, um, I hadn't listened to the entire, uh, address. Okay. And, uh, I agree with a lot of you're saying. I just, I go like, if you're sitting in Daniel Smith's shoes, which I'm not, I'm just obviously looking at it. You have the, the mainstream media was always going to do what the mainstream media is doing.

Is anybody surprised at Pierre Pollyev is saying, you know, I'm a proud Canadian. No, that they're all saying they don't want this. Anybody's shocked by any of that? Shouldn't be. What happens to the Conservative Party if Alberta separates? It's, it has to reinvent itself. Okay. In its current iteration, what does the Conservative Party look like in a federal Canada

that doesn't have Alberta in it? It is a shell of itself. A shell of itself. So, oh, really? The guy with a vested interest in keeping Alberta in Canada wants to keep Alberta in Canada? Yeah, it's not shocking. That's why I say it's not shocking.

It's not shocking that he's come out and send that at all. Yeah. So we can get all emotional about it or we can just sit back and go, okay, well, the hands we've been dealt by the structure that is Canada right now as it is sitting. Now we get something put on a referendum that you go, assuming that Tews is correct. and that is not the actual question. It's just a morning table, Alberta. Morning Debbie.

Now in October, you get a chance to have your say in whether or not they have a solo referendum on separation. I think that's basically what they're saying. We're going to have a referendum on whether we should have a referendum. And everybody gets stuck in how confusing that is, myself included. I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude. But this is exactly it. And don't go full retard on this, guys.

Here's the problem. Is that if you've got a referendum here, you can't have another referendum within a year of an election, which means that you can't have one next year. So then you're looking at a minimum of 2028. And sure, there's going to be some people who are going to say, okay, so you can, no, no, so you can look at that and go, now we're not having a referendum for,

five years or whatever the time frame you want. But at the start, they wanted to have a referendum in three months. And you're like, what? Like, these things take time. I don't know about you. No, they don't. We could have one next week. We could.

Yes, we could. And would you pass it? Would it work? Maybe. Do you want it to work or don't you? In the conversations I've had with Albertans, why everybody sold on this idea, too? So you can look at it and go, oh, the time.

everything is going to happen. It's like, well, because is, you got to add car the shit out of Alberta. Is Canada going to give us more reasons under Carney to stay or to leave? Yes or no? He's going to keep giving us more reasons to leave. Right. But they're going to be dressed up as reasons to stay. Sure.

Let's jump ahead. We're going to talk about this whole pipeline thing. And, okay, well, yeah, you can have your pipeline. But you've also got to build an equivalent value carbon capture, which means that you just doubled the price of the fucking pipeline. Nobody's going to fucking build it. But hey, Alberta wanted a pipeline for so long and now you got a pipeline and you're still not happy. You fucking numpties.

That's not, that was never the question. It wasn't, can we please have permission to build a pipeline? It's can you please fuck off so that we can safely build whatever we require to move our economy and this nation forward. And if you're not interested in that, then you could. do your own nation over on the other side where you can fuck up whatever the hell you want. Leanne, but how much more will people have to lose in the process? We're talking

about time. That's true. And how more people are just going to be like, you know what? If I've got to wait until at least 2028 to say something, fuck it. I'm moving to Belize. Yeah, it's possible. There are going to be people leave. There are people leaving all the time. There were people going to leave if you lose the referendum question.

whenever it comes. Yeah. You're giving people out. Yeah. This is happening all the time. Nothing changes there. That's constant. No, but there's just,

there's more people who are just going to get up. It's going to get tougher. And what does that do? What did David Redmond say? When people are in the breadline, then they'll want change. Well, right now, there's a bunch of Albertans that are in the mushy metal that they're like, there's no plant. I don't know.

I don't really like it. I haven't, you know, and you go, oh my goodness, they're not ready yet. Okay. Well, we got to keep talking about it. We have to keep talking about it. And it gets harder and sure that'll bring some of them on board. But the other people who are successful enough and have a free enough life situation and capital allocation, just be like, you know what? I'm going to get that fucking yacht and peace out. They're going to do it.

So the longer this goes on, sure, you're going to get more of the mushy middle, but you're going to lose the hardcore people who are staunch about this, we're going to be evangelists about this. The longer this gets protracted for, the more difficult it's going to be. I would say there's no way to prove it. There's no way to prove it. But I would say a referendum tomorrow has a better chance of passing than a referendum at any point down the road. Maybe.

Once again, I couldn't tell you. I can't tell you. I have no idea. I just know in talking to Albertans, there is the, what is the chunk of the population is it 30% is it 40% it's a 35 it's a 26 they're ready to go and then and then there's the next portion that hasn't even considered it's okay leanne you can agree with twos everybody can agree with twos i'm just i'm here to contradict twos and uh no no no you don't have to contradict me you could be right on occasion if you wanted to i might be right here okay all right see here's

Here's the other thing we haven't talked about, though, is that the longer this goes on for, and this is to the detriment of my argument, the longer this goes on for, the longer the idiot talking heads in Canada are going to piss off the mushy middle albertans who weren't clear on this one or the other. To the audience and to twos,

do we agree under Cardin's leadership, Canada's going to get better or worse? Do we agree that it's leadership? No, no, no, no, like the state of Canada. Well, the only thing I can see getting better, the longer Carnie's in charge, is the going rate for bulldozers. Okay. So you're making my point. I'm not making a point.

I'm just agreeing with you. And as things get worse, more people are going to have to come to the realization that what's going on in Canada has got to be changed. all the people, like all the people that the culture of Western Canada, the builders, the makers, the doers, they're going to go build something out in a different part of the world. They're going to make a life there and they're going to do it while this referendum sits in fucking limbo. It's possible.

It's probable, actually. All right. Shall we move on? No. No. You were just about to get to the media part, Sean. Okay, let's get to the media part two's. All right.

From Jen Gerson, democracy is not a bunch of the most cowardly people on earth putting an existential vote on the table without demonstrating even the minimum moral integrity to defend that very vote. This isn't democracy. This is an abusive process. I hope that every UCPMLA knows that this will haunt them

every single one of them for the rest of their careers. We will never forget your names. What our leaders are allowing here is a betrayal of trust of ordinary voters. This is the consequence of more than 20 years of dysfunctional conservative politics in this game. I'm reading this part differently because it's super important. This is what we call victim blaming. For generations, conservatives here have played a game of regional grievances, portraying the province's resource sector as forever victimized by Ottawa and other provinces like BC and,

fucking Quebec, my words. And boy, oh, the rest of Canada has played right back, making economic expansion near impossible, and demonstrating contempt and indifference for the province that keeps the bills paid and the GDP afloat. The bad people are the conservative people in Alberta who have been pointing out decades of this happening. And the out-of-touch idiots in the rest of Canada have been just, proving them right the whole time. This is a really interesting chicken or egg situation.

So the problem exists because conservatives keep making up this boogeyman thing about how the rest of Canada keeps trying to fuck Alberta over. And then the rest of Canada just goes along with it and fucks Alberta over. Do you even listen to yourself when you speak, Jen Gerson? No,

the fuck you do not, because here is you on the CBC. address we think the referendum question. Is that what you think? What are you watching for in her remarks? Well, look, I'm going to start with a caveat in that this is Alberta. Literally anything can happen in the next seven hours. Almost nothing would surprise me.

But the rumor is that at present that the plan here is to put some form of a succession. Some form of a succession, not secession, which is where a part of a concession, which is where a part of a country leaves the rest of the country, but succession, which is when you plan the next monarch to take over after the king dies. But it's okay. She just said it the one time. I've read succession question. Nope, she said it twice.

Fuck me. Why is this person being presented as any sort of an expert on separation, let alone the English goddamn language? What the hell kind of a joke country are we living in Sean? I can't remember where I saw this, but there's a cartoon. I meant to, I think I took a picture of it for you twos. And forgive me. Of course, I don't have it propped up because I didn't realize.

This is Doistevsky. I can't even say his last name. Dostoevsky. Thank you. The insults of me in 70 lines and only the spelling mistakes bothered me. That's twos. Oh, man. I mean, yeah, that's absolutely fair.

I don't think I've ever been compared to Dostoevsky before, and I take it as a huge compliment. Now, here's Nathan Cullen. This is funny. This is funny. This is how little these people understand what's actually being said. And it's funny because they could just tune in here, listen for like one week. And they'd be like, well, fuck, we've been way off base about this.

Listen to this fucking guy. Former BC NDP MLA, not a serious party. not a serious hairline. The only irony in this conversation around Alberta and separatism is the same arguments that so many of my Albertan friends used against Quebec for 30 years. We shouldn't reward them. They shouldn't act this way. We shouldn't be beholden to a province that's acting poorly

is kind of the same thing that's going on. And maybe Alberta just said, we're taking all those lessons from the separatists in Quebec because we thought we were angry about it, but it worked. So bad, good. it's dangerous. I guess all of these conversations that we're having as we try to keep this beautiful country together.

When you play too close with those that are interested in not keeping it together, there's so many unintended consequences. There's a fair bit of nuance here that our esteemed friend of the show Nathan Cullen is missing. Is he right about the fact that people in Alberta have been upset that fucking Quebec has been like, oh, you have to give us all the how you say, free money or we will say bon voyage and then Canada gives them a bunch of free fucking money,

which comes from Alberta. That's correct. And they love doing this. They'll get half the story right. They'll get the setup right and then go the completely wrong direction with the rest of it. We're not asking for a bunch of special treatment. We're not asking to get a bunch of free shit. that's not the way Alberta's or Western Canada at all is wired it's not what can a politician do for me the most it's and I've said it before it's which politician

will fuck the most off okay and yeah sure for the past decade and even before that the question was was can you guys just stop being dicks it wasn't we want preferential treatment we don't want

you know extra this or special that or look the other way on something, we just want you to stop being assholes. And that conversation, that question stopped being asked a couple years ago. And now it's, look, you guys are obviously not interested in not being assholes. So I'm sorry, it's not me, it's you. And so even the crux of his conversation he was having is several years too late. But even while it was going on,

it was the completely different, completely different setup than what he's actually talking about. Nobody's asking to just be, you know, some special unique recognized culture or some fucking carved out anything. It's just stop being a dick. Can you please stop being a dick? That's all Western Canada ever asked of Canada. And it was too much for them to provide. It wasn't, I want a pipeline.

It's I want you to fuck off so that I can build my own pipeline. Now we can move on to the other stuff. All right. Here we go. Asian grooming gang who raped and sexually abused girls as young as 12 are jailed for more than 270 years. This is in West Yorkshire. Proceedings began in Leeds Crown Court in July, 23, but were spread across six separate criminal trials owing to the complexity of the investigation.

last of the case concluded in September 2024 with sentencing taking place last year. However, courts have prevented the release of details from those jailed until now. And I'm just going to pull this up. So, yeah, 270 years of prison across all of these people. But these are for rapes that happen between 1995 and 2003. Correct. So first off, this has been going on a lot long. longer than anybody thought, I bet.

Secondly, 270 years across 12 people is a little more than 20 years each. For eight constant years of gang rape? Are you getting a bulk fucking discount here? What the fuck? But here's the big thing I hate about this. And I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I haven't come up with anything that's sufficiently detrimental. but we need to stop calling them grooming gangs.

Like, full stop. It's just far too gentle. It's far darker than grooming gang could possibly ever imply. Bill Cosby wasn't grooming women he drugged. He didn't go to jail for drugging and grooming women. We need to come up with a modern term to reflect the modernity of this situation. severity of it and grooming gang does not cut the fucking mustard and i thought you're going to bring up asian you said asian grooming gang well they're part of asia i know they are technically correct

i used to work with this i used to work with these russian guys technically correct yes but when you i used to work i used to work with these russian guys and uh i'd always bug them about do you think Asian Muhammad Yassin, Zahid, Zalikavar, Manif Hussein. I get it. It's technically correct.

Okay. So here's the thing. We need to stop calling them grooming gangs. Okay. Sure. I don't care about the fact that you're describing them as being Asian. I used to work with these Russian guys and I'd bug them about using chopsticks all the time and eating sushi and knowing Kung Fu.

And I'd be like, well, you're Asian, aren't you? And they'd be like, I know that you know it's a really big place, twos. I know that you're being an asshole, but stop being an asshole. And I'm like, oh, so very sorry, I have brought great dishonor upon you. All right. Alberta First Nation counselor. Get rid of growing gangs. Chief sent her $421,000 invoice to prevent her from running again.

I like I like when I was trying to filter this down I'm like what part do you want me to read to the fact she was paid $421,000 and or or is interesting first off being paid $421,000 is interesting but secondly apparently she's been long she's got this long standing thing of budding heads with the chief and so then the chief got the department to send her a bill saying you owe us all of the money you've ever been. been paid. And it just so happens that for her to run again, one of the steps involved is clearing whether or not she owes any outstanding debts to the First Nation, which this very clearly would come up and then she would not be able to run again. The judge threw it out. But it's really interesting how much weird stuff is happening on reservations because you just see glimpses of it.

Like they really live in a completely separate, disparate world. despite the fact that we share a country with them, share a province with them anyway. And you get these little glimpses here and there. And you're like, okay, so first off, that's a really weird lawsuit. I couldn't imagine that in a regular municipality. Secondly, I'm sorry, did it say $421,000 fucking dollars?

Correct. So, I don't know, that's just the, I guess my take on it is that there's a whole bunch of things where you say, doesn't it seem weird and then lead into it? What do you think? Yeah, well, I mean, it was she, in order to run,

so this First Nation is governed by a chief and two counselors. And in order to run, she can't have any outstanding things owed to the band or to the, and so they put out a lawsuit, it got thrown out, and I just, I'm like,

oh, man, yeah, it seems, well, there's infighting, right? And the infighting is how it comes across our table, right? That's what we see. That's what you're talking to. There's a lot in the article, but to nail it down, I don't fully, other than just reading the full article, I don't know how to even convey everything to the odds.

It's a very baffling. You read it and you're like, you'll scratch your head more than a monkey with lice if you read this article. CRTC to require online streamers to pay 15% of annual revenues to support Canadian content. The Canadian Radio and Television and Telecommunications Commission announced Thursday it will require online streamers to pay 15% of its annual Canadian revenues towards Canadian and indigenous content. The decision was made following consultations on how to implement the Online Streamings Act legislation passed back in 2023 that obliges Netflix and other streaming services to financially support Canadian content. and to promote it on their platforms. Now, it's interesting because this specifically targets the U.S.,

and it's just a few months before Kusma is expected to be wound down. So you've got a prime minister who was elected prime minister based on antagonizing the United States. And keep in mind, this is not 15% of profits. This isn't even This isn't even This is gross This is 15% gross Yes

They're not Yeah They're just going to leave They're just going to leave And that's going to leave us With the only two Remaining Canadian streaming services CBC gem

subscriptions are going to go through the roof too's CBC gem And Pornhub Oh Pornhub is Canadian? Yeah, it is. It's in Montreal. Yeah.

Those are going to be the only two the only two video streaming services remaining in Canada are going to be CBC Gem and Pornhub. And CBC Jam is probably going to double in viewership and we'll get somewhere in the low hundreds of people signing up. Do you want to talk about Bill C-22 right now or is that later? it's later. Okay.

Air Canada employee accused in Canada's largest gold heist had been on police radar for years. An Air Canada employee accused in Canada's largest gold heist, which you can recall on mash up something because we talked about the heist. Had been on her police radar for years before millions in gold vanished from the Toronto Pearson International Airport. Parham Paul Sidhu is one of two Air Canada employees accused in the gold heist of $22 million. He goes on to say his name surfaced in three separate airport drug investigations dating back to 2008. And W5 also obtained a sensitive 2012 intelligence document alleging that SIDU was the leader of an international drug trafficking ring, moving large quantities of narcotics through Pearson and infiltrating legitimate government organizations for the purpose of carrying out their criminal activities. But he kept both his job and airport security clearance until after the gold heist.

and over a one five-year period, more than 125,000 security clearances were approved across Canada's four largest airports. More than 7,500 of those employees were flagged for some type of security concern, but still received clearance allowing access to restricted airport areas. So, you know, it seems like we are the Swiss cheese of security at our airports, which kind of goes in line with the rest of Canada. I mean, look at the picture of this guy. like imagine this guy comes in for an interview and like okay let me just double check the job okay well you're going to be in highly secure areas of the airport where you like have just this unfettered access to international corridors and also extremely valuable goods that are traveling through it and you would look at this guy who sits down in front of you and says yeah yeah

I actually want to be a baggage handler. You look at it and be like, what the fuck, dude? That's a pretty fucking scary look at dude. Why the hell would that not raise a couple flags with human resources right off the bat? You look at the appearance. I go, it's the track record. Since 2008, he's got three different examples of where he's a part of a criminal organization and you still give it to him.

You're looking at an appearance. I'm going, look at the track record. Let's just act on what we know and just remove the access and it's all gone. He shouldn't have got the job in the first place. But then we wouldn't get to talk to the gold place. Shouldn't have the job in the first place. Ontario police are using spyware that lets them remotely take over your smartphone. They're fighting to keep almost everything about it secret.

In April 2020, Ontario, provincial police and Windsor Police Service asked a judge for something far more intrusive. Authorization and wiretap phones, plant, audio probes, and homes and vehicles, and to secretly deploy what law enforcement calls on-device investigation tools. For more than a simple wiretap, these allow police to not just intercept calls, but to directly hack into a target's phone or computer to extract everything from call logs and photos to encrypted messages and more. Essentially, spyware can grant almost unlimited access. Investigators can capture screenshots and monitor key presses, access emails and text messages, including those that are encrypted, even remotely activate microphones and cameras, all without the owner knowing. And they're looking to, I should, yeah. It goes on to say the crown may abandon the prosecution rather than reveal the vendor's identity and details of the capabilities and limitations according to court documents filed. Imagine that. You catch some really bad people doing really bad things.

And the priority in Canada is to keep exactly how you're doing it and how invasive it is under wraps. We'll probably just let these people go scot-free rather than tell. Canada at large what we've been doing with reckless abandoned. Now, I accidentally threw the snowbirds in the middle of this, but this would probably be a great time to segue to the Bill C-22 thing. Okay, well, there's a whole bunch of Bill C-22. Here, I'll pull this. There's a whole bunch of companies saying that they're going to leave Canada if this passes.

Say that we're not on board with giving them unfettered access to everything. and so as a result of that, like you've got Public Safety Canada getting community noted about Bill C-22 and VPNs. You've got this giant list of companies, proton VPN, sync.

And then there was the ones that you brought up last week or we're supposed to bring up last week. Can't remember if you did or not. The point is that the list keeps getting longer of all these people in the tech space saying, if you do this, we are fucking gone. Correct. Now, what the hell can C-22 provide us that the super secret spyware,

that they're willing to abandon criminal charges regarding rather than give the details thereof? What will Bill C-22 give the government that they don't already have with that fucking thing? It's a fair question, I would say. It's the logical question, Sean. Are you asking me for an answer? Well, I mean, I wasn't just screaming into the void. Broad supervision of the entire populace. Okay, I get the fact that you want to supervise the broads, but it's not just the broads, it's all the dudes too.

Snowbirds grounded by incompetence, grounding the legendary snowbirds until some vague date in the next decade is yet another example of Canada's can't do government. So they made a official warrant. McGinty announced the snowbirds, Tudor jets will be replaced by the CT-157 Cis Ciscan 2 turboprops, but gave no completion date other than they're expected to be operational in the early 2030s. Yeah. And it's funny because David McGinty had said on the 9th of May. So this got announced,

well, less than two weeks later. But on the 9th of May, Pollyev had tweeted, Save Our Snowbirds and talking about how the snowbirds were about to just be abandoned. And McGinty says this is false. The Canadians can rest assured that they will be able to enjoy the iconic snowbird formation

for generations to come. I'll be in Moose Jaw on May 19th to say more. And in Moose Jaw on May 19th, he said, they're fucking grounded. We're not doing anything else them. Sorry, folks. Wait until 2030s. Wait until the 2030s.

So, apparently it was exactly right. And he was, believe it or not, Sean, you might want to be sitting down for this. He was fucking lying. Now, I can't remember who said this on Twitter, but I saw just an absolute beauty take on this.

The Albertan government needs to buy the snowbirds, paint them blue, and rename them the free birds. That'd be sweet. That would be very sweet. Okay. If you haven't been paying attention to the CBC and the dumpster fire it is becoming

more so than what it was before, there's a whole bunch of stories came out. Obviously, Lindsay Shepard was kind of not, maybe not the start of it. Well, certainly was the start of it, but it blew up because of Francis Whitoson's video.

But since then, it just takes on more and more. as more of the story comes up. It gets greasier and darker. So the RC&P members intentionally misled in CBC Entertainment, APTN production, MPF demands cancellation and tax payer accountability. The National Police Federation representing approximately 20,000 RCMP members across Canada's written to the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Mark Miller, to call for immediate action express outrage and shock that active and retired RCMP members were in. intentionally misled into participating in interviews under false pretenses for a taxpayer-funded production involving CBC entertainment and APTN.

RCMP members were invited under the false pretense that they would be taking part in a program recognizing and honoring their service. Instead, they were drawn into a production built on fabricated identities, a hoax that condemned the RCMP and by extension its members while disparaging their services to Canadians. In short, the participants were deceived, insulted, and publicly shamed at the expense of the Canadian taxpayers. I can go on, but essentially, if you've seen the Francis... You read the whole article, basically. I'm not sure if you could. Okay, well, fair enough. I was going to go on about Clinton Jaws, regardless. The R.C.MP was part of it. Lindsay

Shepard, Francis Whittleson. Last week, I believe we brought up the 82-year-old from Ontario, which, by the way, that was another thing you missed in the article. So this guy goes around being a Sir John This is just a regular dude who goes around doing Sir John A. McDonald Impersonations. Impersonations. And then when he was talking about the fact that they brought in their own Sir John A. McDonald

impersonator, he was just shit-talking the guy in the article. He's like, he wasn't even dressed up, right? He did a poor job of it. All his mannerisms were wrong. And it was hilarious. And I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, but I'm the only person who ever noticed.

You know what? This is why you can't miss a week, Tuesdays. You see something and that's what we're... How the heck was I supposed to get into Tuesday? Why did you send me a text about that, eh? Because you wouldn't understand it anyway. Probably not. Probably not. Probably not.

Okay, so anyway, what's happened with this now is that the show has been put on ice. It looks like APTN and CBC are no longer moving forward with this show. And that's horrible news. That's the worst possible outcome here. Hands down, the people of this country deserve to see exactly how the money gets spent. And they deserve to see exactly what the people spending the money feel about the important parts of this country. I don't have a lot of love for the RCMP. if you tell me to describe, like just describe the RCMP in one sentence, say, stomping horses.

Okay. But the point is, is that there's no regard for the institutions based on what and why. And so I feel like this show, had it been allowed to air, would have shown exactly how ridiculous stupid and out of touch every single person involved in it was. And the best part would have been that nobody along the way provided any checks or balances or sober second thought and said, actually, maybe you're making us look like assholes. Maybe we shouldn't do this. And all of this fear that's erupted, which is completely justified, has now taken our ability

as people who paid for it to see what exactly we spent our fucking. money on and that's a shin for podcast goers Monday Francis Whittleson's on the podcast and she talks all about it so good if you're wanting to hear more about it Francis is Monday's episode okay uh Henry Novak um if you hadn't heard this name he's the 18 year old who died in December from staboons a Sikh man named Vikram Digwa is currently on trial for no axe murder again Victorum Dickerum Am I close? Yeah.

Okay. You're not going to get better if I don't make you practice. It's true. Practice makes perfect. Police responding in the scene handcuffed Noak while his alleged attacker had claimed that he had been mistreated by Noak because of his race, according to BBC, because of his race, according to BBC. Prosecutor said last week that the officers only provided first aid once Noah collapsed and lost concussion according to the BBC. What did the alleged attacker say about the incident? Digwa.

Digwa? No, can't do it. Still can't do it. Digua? Said he was in self-defense after Noak, who had been drinking but had consumed less than the driving limit, threatened to kill him and verbally abused him based on his race. Noak punched him and pulled off his religious turban. Digwa said in a court, according to the BBC, Digua was carrying an eight-inch Sikh ceremonial knife at the time. He claimed he was afraid.

Noak would stab him with the knife, and he said he did not mean to stab Noak, although five stabs. the wounds were found on no ex-body. Just accidentally. This is just like the constable who accidentally touched the kid's dick. Just accidentally stabbed him five times.

And you see, here's where it gets interesting because the cops handcuffed a guy who was bleeding to death. And he died in a pool of his own blood with his hands cuffed behind his back because some random person

who stabbed him five times, told the cops that dude was being racist. And there's a very obvious comparison to George Floyd here. And we're not by any means the first people making this. Here's lives of TikTok saying, Router's stories on Henry Noak, Zero, Router's stories on George Floyd, 1,087. And wokeness, pointed out, zero stories by Associated Press, PBS, New York Times, News Public Radio, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Washington Post, Reuters, MSNBC.

It's been ignored. And you know what this reminds me of, Sean? This reminds me of Alfred Wagner. And I feel like I'm the only person in this country who remembers Alfred Wagner's name. Alfred Wagner died roughly about six months, within six months of the time that Colton Bouchy died. Colton Bush died just outside of North Battleford, where him and a bunch of friends came up to a farm,

looking to get a vehicle, and he got shot and killed. Now, Bonneville, only a couple hours away as crow flies from North Battleford, two First Nations people went on to a farmer's farm, and killed the guy and stole his vehicle. It's the exact same story, which is the opposite outcomes. And here's where it gets funny, because if you look up, remember, Colton Bushey was huge news.

You had Jody Wilson Rabel chiming in on it. It was all anybody talked about. Colton Busci, 313 articles on CBC.ca. Alfred Wagner. Four. Well, two of them are something completely different, but regarding Alfred Wagner, Wagner specifically. you have two.

One of them slain Bonnie Phil's Senior would have offered ride to thieves who stole truck daughter says and one of them called remembering a father. Exact same situation, but played out in opposite ways and because of the race of the people involved, it gets covered completely differently

where one is huge news on a giant news cycle and the other one is quietly ignored. Yeah. Okay. parliamentary petition calls for federally regulated employees to work remotely three days a week. We all know how Toos feels about our public servants. That they're lazy and entitled and that if they want to get paid, they should actually contribute something meaningful to justify said recompense for their time and so-called effort.

Would that be a fair way to assume? You have this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We got to go back for a second. The petition had 19,336 signatures on Monday. As of Tuesday, 25,992 people had signed the petition. How many people work in the federal public sector, Sean?

400,000? Oh, no. That was a fucking baby numbers, dude. No, 400,000 was added in the last. $576,000 in the direct public sector alone, let alone the federally regulated public sector, which are federally regulated private sector, which is transportation, banks, telecom broadcasting, postal and pipelines,

so the Crown corporations is another 828,000. So even if you were just limited to the 576,000, that's fewer than $526,000. 5% of the people have signed that petition. Now, as far as I know, they didn't do any indigenous consultation on this petition, Sean. And at best, it is a fringe minority with as a taxpayer, I'm going to call unacceptable fucking views. And not only did they not do any First Nations engagement.

Why don't you do some actual people who pay the fucking bill engagement? Just go to some random street. in Stettler. We go to Westlock and be like, hey, we want to engage with the people

who are paying for my fucking second car and my mortgage. What do you think about us working at home three days a week?

I probably don't say this enough, but I'm glad you stopped me. Carry on. I'll let you finish off here. I got a feeling that if you went out to a rig

and you just climbed up on the drill floor, or the rig floor, and said, hey guys, I just got to ask you real quick. Just stop tripping pipe for a second. You, you. The guy covered head to toe and fucking schmag.

How do you feel about me getting paid more than you to work at home three days a week and have absolutely nothing in terms of required output? And after 20 years, I get a gold-plated pension and never have to do a fucking thing for the rest of my life. I can imagine the response. I can imagine the response. You want to talk about meaning,

stakeholder engagement. Man thrown from 50 feet up. That would be it. After asking if he can work three days from home. That would be it. You want to have some meaningful engagement on this? You go talk to a heavy duty mechanic in fucking February who's fixing some broken down flush by in the middle of fucking nowhere.

And you ask Kim how he feels about you. working from home for three days of the fucking week. It's what's different about Western Canada. We know the response. We know what the response. But just imagine. You're just sitting there and you're just like, oh, the wind is really going through my crocs. How do you stand being out here?

Meanwhile, dude's covered in fucking gear oil. Yeah, right. This is a bizarre one. Okay. I'm going to pull it up here before I even... This is a man on Fox, literally wearing... Well, it appears as though he's wearing a mask. What?

The face mask. Like, it looks like, it looks like a Mission Impossible mask. Now, when you look at him talk, here's... Yeah. Come on. That's the thing. It looks... So then you...

It's pretty divided on this. Then your obvious answer is, that can't be real. But you watch the video and it looked pretty dang real. Well, that's the thing. Let's put this up. So even Grock said that this was actually just a hair or a shadow thing. And the president knows he's in the position to demand those. So I think in that sense, he controls the narrative and when he would strike.

I'd also say that patience and the record. Look at the way his neck flexes when he talks. that knows he's in the position to demand those. So I think in that sense, he controls the narrative and when he would strike. I'd also say that patience and the request from Saudi Qatar, UAE and the... It kind of looks like a crazy person for saying that. But I think it's really fun. And I hope to see more lizard people with the gills flexing underneath their masks while they speak.

on American television. You want to see, show the video of the woman being swept away by heavy rain. We'll try and exit the bus, trying to exit the bus in New York City. All right. It's loading here. I'm going to refresh it.

Okay. And I'm going to have it muted because there's some kind of a song in the background. First off, why didn't the bus parked by the sidewalk? But here she goes. And she gone. She gone.

That's it. That's all she wrote. Why couldn't that bus park right by the sidewalk? People could step off the sidewalk. When people are getting off your boat, how many miles away from the dock do you stop? Right? I know.

Hey, this is your spot. You got to swim from here, doll. Okay, but can you move over to like the sidewalk? What do you think this is? Cleveland? Get out of here. Show the Wab Canoe making dog noises. This is interesting and weird.

Like this is one of those where you're like, is he high on drugs? To vote. Now, the Premier did say that he, that's him laughing by himself. And, you know, it's, I ask the Premier numerous times to please be respectful while I ask the question of my Tobin's. Order. This is unbecoming of the premier. So Wab Knoo is just single-handedly being overly obnoxious. I get the fact that he thrives on being obnoxious.

We just walked over how certain stories are portrayed in the media. And if it's a certain thing, it gets a ton of airtime. And if it's a different thing. Can you imagine Daniel Smith doing that? To Nahed Nenshi? Yeah. That would be awesome. but can you know like pierre poliev and making dog noises so we talked we okay we talked about this as it

comes straight but here's the really important thing to think about when you're doing this and you're probably going to see this video just going all over social media in the next few days anytime you see it and watch it keep in mind think about how ineffectual the leader of the conservative party is in Manitoba. Like, what a fucking pathetic piece of shit, lame duck. This is the best the conservatives in Manitoba have to

offer. And he's just sitting there looking like a fucking pussy. Imagine if Nenshi tried doing that to Daniel Smith. She would embarrass the fuck out of him. She wouldn't sit there looking like a fucking impotent cuck.

I get the fact that the NDP are in a serious party. And that that is super weird and just almost kind of baffling. Like, sorry, is this, is this even a real thing? But the big takeaway here is that any half decent policy, any half decent human, if I sat there and started doing that to you in the middle of this episode, you would probably do something to make fun of me or call me a jackass. Rewind the something. Rewind the clock to Pierre Pollyev and Singh being all over him in that leadership debate we

covered. he didn't do anything. Yep. Right? And what do we all want? Just put them in his place already. Yep. So that's what you're pointing to.

Fair enough. Okay. Pork sausages served to Muslim passengers on deportation flight. Well, that's just craziness. They deported a bunch of people from Ireland. They sent them back to whichever Middle Eastern country they came from. And on the flight back, They serve them pork.

Many, mm-hmm, Mm-hmm, Minneapolis, Sean? Sean? Sean? Tuse.

Are you worried that, you're worried your bacon's going to get fried if you say anything? No. Really? This seems like the kind of thing you'd want to sink your pork chops into.

Minneapolis daycare owner charged with fraud, tried to flee country after, uh, days after, center for uh, prosecutors allege. Uh,

I don't know. Like, I mean, between, like she's accused of stealing taxpayer money that was meant to help families feed their, their children. Um,

between January and July, 20, 2021, her daycare center received more than $850,000 dollars in federal child nutrition program. Um, it goes on to say in 2021, uh,

2020 and 2021, Mohammed, submitted receipts claiming to have served two meals a day to a thousand different children, seven days a week. The court documents say from 2022 to 2025 submitted roughly 13,000 claims for $4.6 million in reimbursements. Now, this is an update. You may remember when we discussed the press conference at one of these leering centers where they said that somebody had tried to break in and they showed the evidence of them trying to break in being unsuccessful and breaking through the

wall, but only the inside wall was busted. They were trying to break in, and they only broke the inside wall, and then got in another way and stole all of the paperwork that could exonerate them. And we didn't buy it for a second because they were clearly lying. And now it turns out that two days after the Nick Shirley thing, the head of this fucking ring tried to escape the country unsuccessfully and is now being changed. charged with several million dollars worth of fraud. Canadian citizen charged with illegal voting in multiple U.S. elections?

While the U.S. Attorney's Office says Canadian citizen who had been living in the United States for decades has been charged with voting illegally, the 40-year-old accused faces one account of unlawful voting by an alien and one count of casting a ballot known to be fraudulent. Prosecutors said in news release, the man became a permanent resident in February 1987 and have been living in a town of Saggah. Saugas? Saugas?

North Boston. The alleged... In what state? Massachusetts. Okay. I just want to see if you'd flood that one. You know, when we've been together for 209 episode, Tuesday knows what I'm skipping over words,

don't you? I'm like, do I want to... Well, that's suspicious. I can't pull one by twos. Okay. No. They allege the man declared on an official registration forms that he was a U.S. citizen and that he voted in multiple federal elections, if convicted, the accused face between one and five years in prison,

fines raging for $100 to $250,000. Now, this is really interesting. The CTV article omits this, but one of the elections that he voted in, was in the year 2020. Now, for those of you who maybe don't have giant long-spanning memories that go back that long, the 2020 election, we were told, was completely legitimate, 100% correct. There was no, there was no possibility. It wasn't that there was no possibility.

There was no voter fraud or chicanery or legalities or any concerns. and if anybody thinks even an instance or a semblance of an instance of something like that is possible, they're an election denier. It was completely legit, 100%, and every single ballot cast in that election was correct. CTV is an election denier. I can't believe the way they would cast doubt on the validity of Joe Biden being the most voting. voted for president in the history of the country. And the fact that they did it so ominously tells me that they're far-right propagandists and extremists.

They probably have pipe bombs and bulldozers. Okay, here's Ebby renamed Sight C Dam after ex-premer John Hogan. And the picture I'm showing, Horgan opposed project, including being photographed in 2012 with the sign reading, sight C sucks. So for those of you who don't know, John Hogan is dead. Anyway, John Horgan used to be the premier of BC under the NDP, and now David Eby is. And one of the things John Horgan didn't like about what was going on in BC was the site C dam.

And so he was talked about multiple times as being a gainstit, and here he is in a wonderful picture standing with a few of his friends, holding up a sign that says site C sucks. and then David Eby named the dam after John Horgan it would be fucking poetic if any other party had done that

like imagine that if if in some parallel universe that a pipeline actually does get built in Canada in the next day And they call it to Ebby? No, we call it the Catherine McKenna Stephen Gebow pipeline

that's what he just did, except it was to his own guy. The NDP Premier did this to the previous NDP Premier. What's the pipeline called? Stephen Gay Balls. It transferred. The Gay Balls Pipeline. You guys transport a bunch of gay balls? Actually, that's what we're going to call it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Here is, Mark Carney took credit for himself of a waste oh sorry the Madoine mine project was authorized by Quebec in 2021 but yesterday Mark Carney took credit for him himself and saying it's part of the fast track major projects.

We've been covering multiple different projects that he's claiming to a fast track yet history would tell us. He invented the wheel. You know, he added the Bering Land Bridge that allowed the First Nations to come over. He's done so many

amazing things that totally did not happen before the Fast Projects initiative bullshit thing. And this is actually an article by the Canadian press. It's not in here this week, but one of the interesting things that came up this week is that National Post is distancing itself. Well, post media, I guess. Post media has ended its affiliation with the Canadian press over longstanding issues of journalistic integrity. And so anybody from Post Media, if you're listening today,

well done well done full stop but yes mark carney announced in may and the canadian press mindlessly parroted the fact that this approval has gone forward and here now for those of you who don't speak 50% cane sugar it says fuvert and un immense mine de graphite dan lanodier which means that they're putting a graphite mine in a laundry, and it's going to be green. Okay. Now, the date on this is Judy 11 February, which means early of 2021.

And also it says that it's a premier installation, minarees-a-a-100-per-electrique. it's going to be a premium mine in the world and 100% electric. Can I just say, and I know I remind you of this often, you're at your absolute best, absolute best,

when you come up with creative ways to describe things. For those of you don't speak 50% cane sugar. That's great. Tell me, tell me I'm wrong. Yeah, you're not. That's just creative. Tuesdays at his best when he's doing that.

Polymarket. Two episodes of the boys received the lowest IMDB scores and shows history. You could probably pull up the chart if you want to. I mean, I could. You don't have to. It's not really, there's not really anything to it aside from the boys just wrapped up its series finale. and I'm sure you guys saw a lot of the memes and stuff about it. People were talking about it online.

And the whole thing was such a fucking travesty. The first season deviated a little bit from the comics. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, and you're okay with things on the very dark side and graphic side, they're phenomenal. They're some of the best graphic novels ever made. They're not watchmen, but they're not far from it. and they're just absolutely destroyed by Eric Kripke and in this in this Amazon Prime thing.

And so lots of people love the first season. We're kind of iffy about the second season. I think if I remember correctly, I quit watching partway through the third season. I stopped watching about first episode second season. So I'm like it's that's the one where like the Ant Man guy goes into the other guy's pee hole. Right? Yeah. Kind of a fun idea, but it was just trying to be more shocking than, see,

the comics had a lot of shocking things that actually had messages behind them. It wasn't just, let's just do stuff for the sake of being gross. They did a lot of stuff that was gross. And meanwhile, you're like, whoa, that's quite interesting. That's an interesting take. You know, they did some stuff that was kind of silly and frivolous. Like they had this guy named Moon Knight who was a knockoff of Batman, and he got obsessed with, um,

was it like jamming his, like just doing like a superhero thing into people's butts? And then the moon started coming towards the earth and he blew it up, or maybe it was an asteroid. And so he went out saving the planet by going up its ass. And it was just kind of this silly sort of like, lighthearted side episodes. This kind of summarizes the first season of,

But here's the thing, is that you've got something like an 85 comic book story where they had one that was kind of silly and frivolous, okay, rather than the whole thing trying to be as graphic as possible. And they went away. So for those of you who don't know the story, just and you're interested in reading the graphic novel, just fast forward a little bit. The big twist with the boys was that black noir. was a clone of Homelander. And the whole reason why he was there was to be sort of a check on Homelander. If Homelander ever went crazy,

the only way you could stop Homelander was with another Homelander. And then it turned out that Black Noir went absolutely insane as well as Homelander and they ended up killing each other at the White House. Basically, I think, if I remember correctly, Butcher did the final killing stroke on Homelander.

But that was basically at, And then the big culmination of the story was Huey fighting with Butcher, who ended up being the ultimate bad guy of the show. And it was just crazy. All the different directions it went in and all this other different shit. And none of it got captured in this show. Look, if you want to do a version of something that's already popular in another medium, great.

But if you're just going to tell your own fucking story, Just tell your own story. And then it can suck as much as it wants and it can live and die by its own fucking rules. I never watched the last little bit of boys. I'm probably never going to. But I don't think I'm missing anything. And anybody who enjoyed the show

or anybody who enjoyed the comics does not like the show. And that should tell you everything you need to know about it. It was the same thing with Wheel of Time, except maybe less like but things. But it's the same thing with so many other implemented, Witcher. Look at what happened with Witcher. They're phenomenal books.

And keep in mind that when you read them, they're translated from Polish. So you're already losing a little bit in the translation. And still within that, they're phenomenal books. And they still can't do a good job of it. PM Mark Carney says Canada needs millions of households to switch to electric heat pumps arguing at lower energy costs and strengthen the country's net zero transition. He added, when we master energy, we master our destiny. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Did he just say master our own destiny? When we master energy, we master our destiny. The line from Seinfeld. Being the master of your own destiny is not masturbating. Remember that episode? Where George quits masturbating and turns into a genius. And then he's got that big presentation. do because everybody found out.

It is taken until episode 209. Is this our first Seinfeld reference? It might be. Aside from the Festivist episodes. Oh, it's minus the Festus. Fair enough. Fair enough. Okay, fair enough.

Relax. Relax. All right. I just mean, anyways, it doesn't matter. This might be the most clever thing he's ever said. So if being the master of your own destiny. You should put up a meme of that, too. When we master energy, we master our destiny.

And that's exactly it. If we get a bunch of heat pumps, we're just jerking each other off. He went in front of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade and said, if we get a bunch of heat pumps in this country, we're just jerking each other off. And nobody else picked up on it. Two's picked up on it. You want to show the candidate for mayor of... No.

He's running for mayor of Central Falls, which is in Rhode Island. and she's showing quite a lot of cleavage. And so some, let's see here. Oh, yes, very much more frumpy. A woman of a very higher frumpiness factor is trying to point this out. And basically just being a hater. She's just being a hater.

Personally, I think this lady's wonderful. I would vote for, in fact, I might. me and me and that guy from the 2020 election might get in there and vote for but it's clever because you know you look at this and you know that what's going to happen is is that it's going to get a whole bunch of conversation online she'll probably end up winning because of this picture and not strictly because of this picture but because when she put this picture up a bunch of frumpy ladies like Nicole Solis sued by the something or other

are going to pick it up and just be a bunch of haters Quinta Brunson to develop and star in Betty Boop feature film. Now, for those of you who don't know, because who the fuck is that? Quinta Brunson is a black lady. And she's going to be in a Betty Boop feature film. Quinta Brunson is stepping into the world's most famous flapper. That's literally a quote from this article. First off, the world's most famous flappers belong to Kim Kardashian.

But why would you word it like that? Variety is a disaster. Somebody tell me what this is even doing here. Sean. You know, people text us from time to time like they're working out and they burst out laughing or they're driving. I feel like you've had a couple of them today. The world's most famous flapper is Kim Kardashian. Who, happy Friday, folks.

Sturgeon Lake Creenation claims potential. Mark Graves at residential school site near Grand Prairie. I've seen this one before. It's a classic. Yeah. This is great. This is wonderful. I mean, we need to find all of these unmarked graves.

We should give them another $12 million. I wonder if we give them $12 million. How many other First Nations are going to say, hey, I think I've got some unmarked graves over here too. I need $12 million as well. Maybe. we just say, look, we're not going to give you any funding. The onus is on you.

Get yourself a shovel. Give us a little bit of evidence. And if you can give us a bit of evidence, we'll explore this further. That's the fair thing to say. That would have been the fair thing to say, Camloops. Instead, we spent $1,200 or $12 million on 215,

great big fucking nothings. And the thing about it is, is that people like me, I'm not going to speak for you, but people like me get painted as extremists or far right or or residential denials with residential denialism and how evil and racist we are for pointing this out and at the same time when are we going to point out the fact that it's a little fucking baffling that these people are mad that they're unable to find graves of two

215 children. We're pointing out that you were unable to find 215 mass graves of children. And you're telling us it's a bad thing? What the fuck is wrong with you? Limited edition condoms will be available to Toronto Public Health Clinics. Oh yeah, you can just show the video if you'd like.

Well, I don't know. It's just block these shots. One of those says block those shots. So the World Cup's coming to Canada and the States. Condom T.O. Initiative. And so, yeah. Especially there's some condoms. Show Mindy.

Mindy Kaling. I don't know. Is that how you say her last name? Yeah, that was her last name. Anyways, shares the real reason behind her scrutinized weight loss journey. Everybody remembers her, I assume, from the office, among other things. No, basically just the office. she was in a wrinkle in time, which nobody saw.

She had her own Scooby-Doo remake where she played Velma. A large Velma. Excuse me. She specifically rewrote Velma as being a large person rather than the classic Velma look because of body positivity. And she credits all of the sudden weight loss to hiking and diet. here's a picture of her that's actually more flattering than a lot of the other ones from about 10 years ago

showing her being on the curvy side of things and it just so happens that right after OZemPEC gets released all of these previously large women take up hiking and diet you think she's on OZempic? It's the magic pill test see here's the thing is like when people like

oh well this is better or that's better or, you know, this is, you just ask them, you say, if there's a magic button you can push or a magic pill you could take that would completely change the state that you're in or that this situation is, would you push it or would you take it? Well, Zempic is literally the magic pill question. Because, oh, well, you just hate us because we're not the typical perfect body, but we're happy the way we are and we're actually really healthy the way we are

and everything's wonderful. Okay, but if there was a magic pill you could take that would make you not large, would you take it? Well, the answer, as it turns out, is an unequivocal fucking yes. So all of this body positivity, did you notice that body positivity went away as soon as those EMPIC did? You know, we, you guys brought it up last week. Sports Illustrated, the world is healing. Victoria is secret. All of these things, you know, the women's health that basically had to have double-sized

fucking covers just to fit how large the women were on the cover for years telling us that diabetes is actually a good thing like they're fucking Wilford Brimley or some shit turns out it wasn't they were fucking lying because it was easier than getting on a fucking stairmaster but as soon as the magic pill question becomes reality they all take the magic pill mounies nab foxy weiner thief. What a great headline, by the way, hey? That was, that was, um, that was the Toronto son. And that's exactly what it was.

Cops didn't lay charges against the wily red fox who made off with hot dog meant for barbecue. Here it is. There it is. They actually did the mashup headline situation. Uh, JP Morgan exec, Lorna. Oh, man. Hedge, Dean.

Hasdini. We brought her up three weeks in a row. I know. Every time I see her name, too, as I'm like, I still know. Anyways. Sue's ex-banker, Chiru ran up for defamation over sex slave allegations. The suit alleges the 35-year-old finance professional who lied about his dad dying to get time off work. Orchestrated a month's long campaign up false accusations that torched her career,

damaged her reputation, and turned her life into a global tabloid spectacle that first lit up on social media last month. There he is. I would just like to point out. the fact that we have contributed in some small way to what is inevitably going to be a very large fucking house for this lady? Correct. Seattle, excuse me.

Seattle is installing four smart bathrooms for the World Cup that cost 400 grand a year to maintain. $464,000 on four solar-powered smart public restrooms. That's 116 grand per toilet. for the FIFA World Cup. These high-tech toilets come with QR code entry and an app, sensors that monitor waste tank,

the ability to ban vandals, users even get to rate the cleanliness afterwards. The units are solar powered, hands-free, ADA compliant, have baby changing stations and will operate on a strict 10-minute limit. What is it going to do after 10 minutes? Like, is it just going to be like the Star Wars garbage compaction walls? Like, what happens after 10 minutes that is going to force you out of there?

Now, I would just like to point out that New York spent something like a quarter million dollars per toilet on some toilets in Central Park. They got immediately vandalize. And San Francisco spent something like $2 million a toilet on basically bum-proof toilets. These are terrible, terrible, terrible ideas. You could just say it. And it's going to be great. I'm just going to say we're going to keep an eye on this. And inevitably, when three days after release, there is a charred crater where one of these toilets used to be, we are going to be here to say, I fucking told you so.

BBC, selling children to survive Afghan father forced to make impossible choices. I mean, it's very sad. Imagine your life is so difficult that you have to sell one of your twin daughters. into sex slavery. I just imagine what that father is going through and how difficult the choice it must have been for him

to sell his daughter into sex slavery at the age of five? Five. Five. Five. Five. This is a sympathy article? Are they fucking serious? What the fuck is wrong with the people in media

in this fucking planet? Barbie girl band Aqua breaks up after 30 years. Well, this should almost be sad news, Sean. The infamous band with their long string of hits, starting with Barbie Girl, and culminating with Barbie Girl,

has announced that they're breaking up. I mean, what a roller coaster it must have been for them. How many times did you see them live? Doug Ford. How many times? Sean. How many times I see them live? Sean.

Sean. Two's. How many times have you seen Aqua Live in concert? Never. Why are you getting so squirly about this? I don't know why you're making. Why am I getting so? What about my piss?

This is a ridiculous story. Nobody cares about Aqua. What but girl band concerts have you seen? What girl band concerts have you seen? The girl bands? But girl bands? None. Why are you?

This is, okay, guys, like, we've got to realize that Sean's getting a little... What is going on here? What question am I not asking? This is like the twins thing all over again. Remember when I was asking about your hot cousin and then it found out that you had twins as cousins? This is that.

This is that, Sean. Tews. Did you ever go see the Spice Girls? No. Did you ever go see N-Sync? No. 98 degrees? No.

Soul decision? every name you're about to come up with you can just put an emphatic no behind it too B44 no Backstreet boys no the new kids on the block no

the Jackson 5 no I'm telling you no I haven't seen any of these why are you not so weird about this then I'm not weird about it at all were you in one of these bands what

you did a boy band No No Tews is there something else You're trying to tell us I'm trying to tell you That I'm seeing a crack in the I'm seeing a crack in the armor here

And I don't know I don't know what's going on Were you in a Korean pop band Oh you got me Korean pop band That's exactly what it was Okay I got to make some phone calls after this

We're going to figure out What the hell is going on You know when people make Anyways it doesn't matter I don't know where you're going You obviously have something. I'm smelling blood in the water and I want to know what the hell it is. What are you talking about?

I'm laughing at how this is even in our headlines. Who's talked about Aqua? Well, nobody's really talked about them since the last time they had a hit song, which was Barbie Girl. And the fact that they've been around for another 30 years since then, and apparently are now just deciding to break up. I know. Never got around and filling out the four.

I feel like episode mashup 210 to 215 is going to be the string of where twos tries to frame me as a guy who's in a boy band. But hey, what do I know? I guess we'll wait and see, folks. Two obviously has something up his sleeve.

I don't know why. Do you circle in that one? Just to see what I agree. No, no, no. No, I didn't. Oh, there is something there. I'm going to find this out.

There's nothing there. This is the twins all over again. We're going to get to the. This is the twins all over again. Can somebody please tell it what the heck? Somebody tell me that Sean is not overreacting to this. Somebody tell me that Sean is not overreacting to this. And I don't know why.

I don't know why. I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, wow. This is going to get interesting. We're going to uncover some dark secrets about what you were willing to do for a record deal, Sean. Doug Ford from, oh man,

I'd get him Did you ever work for Nickelodeon? No. Okay. How many danceoffs have you been in with Britney Spears?

What? Pretending to not understand the question. All right, fine, we'll move on. Let's talk about Doug Ford. Doug Ford.

Old Dougie's back. You might want to turn the volume on here. Just a second. Start it over. Okay. Sorry, you must have been frazzled

for me nearly uncovering your deep dark secrets. FIFA World Cup 2026 is coming to Ontario and we want fans to experience every moment of it. With games taking place in multiple time zones across North America,

we're extending alcohol service hours to 4 a.m. from June the 11th to July the 19th. So fans can enjoy the games no matter what time they're happening. So make sure to gather, watch and celebrate one of the greatest sporting events in the world

and let's all cheer on Team Canada. Why does Doug Ford have to always do every announcement about booze? I appreciate the enthusiasm. I think it's wonderful, but it's kind of oddly placed from the guy who's a premier of the most populous province in Canada.

And also, why not just make it so that we can stay at bars till 4 in the morning if we want to, regardless. Why does it have to be for a special occasion? Why does it have to be for the stupid fucking Olympics or the stupid fucking World Cup? Why can't it be for whatever stupid fucking reason I come up with with my buddies? If we want to stay at a bar until 4 in the morning, why is that a bad thing? If the bar is okay with it and we're okay with it, if the government needs to get out of our bedrooms,

they should also get out of our local watering hole establishments. I was in Denmark a few years ago. And as, you know, went in Rome type thing, went to a pub. And there was just a whole bunch of us sitting there drinking, having a great time. And waitress comes by. And she's like, okay, guys, last call. You got to just square everything up. You know, anything you want to drink before we shut the bar down.

And I was like, really? Why are you guys calling it quit so early? And you know how sometimes you'll get that look from the waitress like you're a complete fucking fucking moron. She looks at me and she's like, do you have any idea what fucking time it is? I'm like, I don't know, maybe it's like two, three, something like that.

She says it's 7.30 in the morning. Go home. I want to live in a country where I can do that. One in five pregnant people in Ontario not scream properly for syphilis. A new study says. One in five pregnant people. One in five pregnant.

pregnant people. I just, my heart really goes out to all the pregnant men out there who are not being scanned for syphilis. This is like, it's just, it's such a, look at this. 89 likes, 244 retweets and 1,300 comments. That's a pretty astounding ratio. And everybody's saying the right thing or the same thing. They're just saying the shit right here is why no one pays for mainstream media anymore. Women, you can say it.

It's okay to say men can't get pregnant. People screenshoting all sorts of stuff and whatever else saying that there's no this thing as pregnant people. It's just women, okay? Dudes do not get pregnant. And here you get Jason Kenny jumping in. Pregnant people, not women. I know this was a Canadian press news story just from reading the headlines.

This kind of hyperwoke nonsense is actually in their. style book. I'm a fat piece of shit. A good example of why post media made the right call to drop its CP subscription. I think that was a direct quote. I might have got something wrong in there. So Jason Kettie, for those of you who don't know, has been going around taking absolutely safe takes on idiotic far left bullshit lately. This is it. You look at this and you're like, okay, well, that's a completely reasonable take. But what he's doing is he's basically straw manning the left, inadvertently, by taking the shittiest things that they say and do,

where opposing it is the most politically safe thing he could do as any sort of a conservative. And then he's opposing it. It's basically, imagine you're going to be lining up in a tournament, you know, one team versus another, but it's like head to head. and you go up and you be like, give me the Ellen page of the other side.

You got any Stephen Hawking's over there for me to beat up? And I'm going to fucking wamp them up and I'm going to look awesome and my team's going to love me. That's what he's doing. And you're going to see him do more of it. There was one in last week that you guys didn't talk about. You skipped over it. I don't know why.

I wasn't there. But this is two weeks in a row now where he has had a very easy, safe take on super fucking normal shit. and you're going to see him do more of it because it's a pattern at this point. And he's doing it so that he can eventually frame himself to try and take over the federal conservatives. Although he'd be a better fit. I'd love his opinion on notorious vagrant known as P.P. P. Poo Poo P. P. Poo P.

man arrested on horrifying new charges. Okay. No one can hear you reading the headline if you're laughing halfway through it, Sean. Notorious vagrant known as Pee Poo Poo Poo P man, arrested on horrifying new charges. Now you might be thinking to yourself, if his name is P.P. Pooh-Poo Man already, what could he be doing that's so incredibly horrifying? Harassing women. But his earlier flush with the law came after he was arrested for throwing buckets of liquefied feces at five random people in Toronto back in 2019. earned him the title

Pee Poooo Man Yep Here's actually This is fun This guy took it so seriously That he went and got a clipboard And Hard Hat Again this is straight out

Of the Hitchhackers Guide to the Galaxy When they need to get into that bar And they can't get in Ford Prefect goes and furnishes a clipboard And he says that there isn't a place in the world You can't get into with a clipboard. What was that

shoot that heist movie with Clive Owen where they just get into the bank because they're carrying ladders. This guy saw that exact same thing. He's like, I'm going to put on a hard hat. I'm going to get a clipboard. And then I'm going to be able to get in

past security and throw poop at people. Pee-Poo-Poo Man. But it didn't stop there because now he's also sexually assaulting women. Maybe we need to arrest address the re-offence rates in Canada. Joey Chestnut, turned in the sports desk, the reigning champion, and 17-time winner of Nathan's famous

international hot dog eating contest will compete in July 4th, spectacle while on probation after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge. I think we need to read that one more time. Joey Chestnut, the reigning champion. and 17-time winner of Nathan's famous international hot dog eating contest will compete in the July 4th spectacle while on probation after he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge. All that that is missing to become like the most American thing you could ever possibly say is, I don't know, something about banjos? Like throw a banjo in there somehow. Oh, and maybe, like, maybe an eagle stole one of the hot dogs, and you've got it.

You've got it. That's it. That's it. There's nowhere to go from there. Let's flip to happy news. Bolt CEO says he will let go, he says he let go of his entire HR team for creating problems that didn't exist. Those problems disappeared when I let them go. Funny how that works, hey, Sean?

So the CEO of this tech company. They were on a They were an 11 billion dollar evaluation In 2020 In 2024 The company had reportedly Fall into 300 million A decline of nearly 97%

Evaluations on tech companies are really tough Fair enough And also very fluid But the big takeaway from this Is that The problems disappeared when I let them go. What happened was, was they had all of these HR issues in the company. What do you do? Well, there's all of these HR issues. Well, obviously we need more HR people,

right? Well, hold on a sec here. Let's think outside the box. What if we just fire all of the HR department? We just get rid of all of them. And then all of a sudden, all of the HR issues went away. They were creating their own fucking problems. And if you've ever had a particularly shitty HR employee in a company you've worked for, you're going to read this and you're going to go, yeah, I totally fucking get it. Man buys 80 Pizza Huts to bring back the iconic version of American, uh, version America missed and people are losing their mind.

Sparks is bringing back the version people actually remember red plastic cups, Pac-Man machines, packed salad bars, giant family boost, Tiffany style lamps hanging over the tables. Yeah. And the interesting thing about it is, is that, uh, The biggest issue that he's been having is sourcing the lamps. I don't know why you can't get the made anymore, but he's trying to buy used ones to restock these restaurants. And it's been a little bit difficult.

But I mean, like how many awesome childhood memories did you have of the salad bar slash pizza bar and the dessert pizzas? Remember, they always had the dessert pizzas. And then your parents would be like, no, twos. You cannot start with the dessert pizzas. You have to eat other slices of pizza before you get to the dessert pizzas. before you get to the dessert pizzas, or at least that's how it was for me.

Lots of good memories. Pizza Hut introduced me to the X-Men. Did you know that? Really? I'd never seen them, heard of them. And then they did some kind of a special run where they had like a kids meal with like a special X-Men cup

and an X-Men pizza box and then it came with a comic. And I was like, oh, I don't know who this. And then I started reading it. And I'm like, oh, this is really interesting. And that was how I started reading X-Men. There you go. And that was Pizza Hut.

Final one, six-year-old boy. Imagine being a six-year-old boy and finding a 1,300-year-old sword on a school field trip. This is cool news. This is very cool news. I'm here for this all day. Now, believe it or not, they found it in Norway or some shit like that.

But, yeah, this, folks, you know, we're in the middle of sort of like a gun grab, Canada-wide. And if you're responsible firearms, all of your firearms that have now been declared illegal have been sitting in your gun safe for the past several years. This is just a perfect example

of why you need to regularly oil your weapons, your tools. Because if you don't, 1,300 years later, your gun's going to look like this. Community notes here is... What? What? You missed two.

You missed Mads Mikkelson. This is, again, the world is healing, folks. Check this out. This is from an interview regarding an upcoming movie. This is a cast and a Danish production, which is entirely Nordic. It therefore has some lack of diversity, you would say, as also new rules are implied. What? Are you on to?

From the get-go. From the get-go, there is said some... Well, first of all, the film takes place in Denmark in the 1750s. So they're being interviewed about this new movie, and why isn't there any diversity in this movie? You don't have any diversity in this movie, you people. It's all white people. It's all Scandinavians.

And so then they push back and they say, well, it takes place in Denmark in the 1750s. You've got an honest, reasonable response as to why there is, no diversity in the movie. Instead of just being like, oh shoot, you know, we're really sorry. Let's just recast the main character real quick.

Or we're just going to do some other random fucking thing. No, they're just like, this is a movie that took place. You know what that reporter, what the reporter was trying, or the guy asking the question, he was saying the new rules on diversity

basically make you an eligible. And the question should have been, do you not care about the Oscar? Right? And then he went, well, what can we do? 1750s, there was a better way to position that question. I understand what he was trying to ask.

I think, like, it gets framed as he's asking, why don't you have anybody in it? But actually, as he went on, he was saying, well, in order to be considered for the Oscar, the new rules state, and that would have been like, do you, what do you think of the new rules? Well, how do you tell a story like that? And being an Oscar, you can't. You can't. I agree. So if you want to tell that story, I guess it's not going to win any Oscars. and they can go piss up a rope. Nobody watches the Oscars anyway. I mean, the last time the Oscars were even remotely relevant

was Chris Rock and Will Smith. Yeah, it wasn't even relevant then. That wasn't even relevant. Yeah. What's the final good news, too? Okay. Henry Winkler has been on a fishing trip for the past several days.

The Fonz, and you probably remember him from Arrested Development as well, and he's just been going around just catching every fucking fish everywhere. And look how happy he is. Look at how excited he is. He's just showing all these fish that he's catching.

He's just going around fishing. He's just having the time of his life, catching fish. And it's wonderful. And I'm here for all of it. I just like seeing people happy sometimes. And there are a few things in this world that can make a man happier than fishing.

Okay, community notes. Here we go. We got Vance Crow, internet-based communications. Interest-based communications. Oh, sorry, interest. What did I say? Internet-based. Sorry, interest-based communication.

Most professionals were never taught how to make their ideas land. Good ideas fall every day, not because they're wrong, but because of the person with the idea couldn't make others care about it. The three-day course teaches you to change that. You learn how to understand what the person across the table actually wants and communicate in terms they care about. You work on your own real situations, not hypotheticals. You leave with a philosophy of communication you use for the rest of your career. And when I scroll down, there's some coming up Monday, July 6th, 7th, 8th. So you can go to articulate ventures.

Articulate dot ventures slash IBC. Then we have, it's sold out, but, uh, Jason Kenney and Keith Wilson debate. Grand Theater, Calgary, May 25th. I wonder if they're going to release any of that. And then you have, where is the title? For Love of Little Man's Heart Golf Tournament. Yep.

That's coming up June 19th. Yep. So it's in Calgary. I can't remember the name of the golf course, Silver Springs, maybe. And it's for one of the few remaining good charities out there. one of the ones that gives almost every... Springbank, Lynx, golf club. Thank you.

Because almost every single penny to the families that's trying to help rather than just being a giant conglomerate that may or may not smuggle munitions as well as foreign aid stuff and has some kind of a red X on the front of all of their labels. So it's actually the kind of thing

that you could support. And then also June 4th, 26 golf tournament. Lax St. Ann Parkland, UCP constituency association. So the early bird has passed, but it's at Cougar Creek Golf Resort.

And it's, what are we laughing at? Jamie Sinclair. Finish your thought and I'll tell you what Jamie Sinclair just texted me. Okay. Lack St. Ann. Park Lane.

Golf tournament's coming up. There's still a few spots left. and they're looking to fill them. So who doesn't like golf? And Shane Getson, been on the show multiple times. He's one of the very few people in politics that I like. Finally, Jamie Zingler texted, Hey, brother, I've been trying to send you a text on the live chat stating that it's Henry's birthday on Sunday.

So first off, happy birthday, Henry. Happy birthday, Hank. And mine as well. Happy birthday, James. Happy birthday, Jamie. We're going out Saturday night, so if you could mention that as a public notice and warning everybody to batten down the hatches. All right. Well, there you go.
