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

welcome to the mashup welcome to the mashup welcome to the mashup it wouldn't be it wouldn't be mashup 211 it wouldn't be a mashup folks if there wasn't something happened on this show that you can't predict two's got the blue screen of death so he'll be with us uh shortly

i was trying to find it you know i was uh i was waiting for twos to hop in and then of course he doesn't hop in but uh we were talking whatever over the last what has it been the last like two three weeks about all these uh a list actresses that twos would point out are uh joining only fans right trisha helper being the latest that twos talks about and then if you put it into grok it basically calls them all B list actresses so twos it does go on to say though that uh if uh you're a sci-fi fan you'd think they're a a list fans so there you go twos is uh slowly getting back into the show here i'm sure uh the old blue screen of death but i think it's been put to to rest that uh the uh the These aren't A-list actresses joining only fans.

Just throwing that out there, twos, that you're wrong. Who says that? GROC says that, too. Everybody says that. Unless you're a sci-fi fan. Unless you're a sci-fi fan for Tricia Helper, then maybe you're thinking A-list. So let's be clear.

GROC has no meaningful ability to assess the wonderfulness of the ladies. and only fans. We're like, ooh, look at the ones and zeros on that, babe.

No. No, Grock's out of his element. Mashup 2-11. Well, happy Friday, everyone. Welcome back to the show.

Tews, welcome back. I'm glad you, to the blue screen of death didn't knock you out for the entirety of it. Well, it was funny

because you're just, you know, going through the intro song, and I'm like about three seconds away from clicking. in and give him my thoughts on the world, and then all of a sudden, it'll be fine, fine, fine, fine, fine,

and then somebody at C-Sys, hi, C-Sys, is like, push the button, push the button just as he goes live. You think, random note, I just saw this. Laurie said, good morning, gentlemen, and mashers. Is that what they're called, or they're calling themselves as mashers? I don't know. Are you all proud mashers? It works better than Meschupians, which is the best I'd come up with.

Mashupians? Mashupians. Yeah. All right. Okay. Well, happy Friday, everyone. Okay,

mashup 211. If you enjoy the show, make sure to like, subscribe all the lovely things so you don't miss. And share it out with a friend, right? If you're watching on X, hit that retweet button and,

uh, I don't know, get us out to a few more people. We like to liven it up on a Friday. Hopefully, uh, make a few of you smile anyways in the crazy world that we, We call Canada here.

You've got to appreciate that this place is comically fucked. So have some fun with it. Let's have some fun with it. Okay. Did you have a coot six and a half this week? I didn't know if you did. No, I didn't. Okay.

I didn't. Fair enough. Hey, that should almost be the, like, that should almost be the happy news. Fair enough. Yeah, you're not wrong. And we should say happy Airborne Friday to all the military boys out there. It sounds like Willie and Jamie are going to be. on a tear in Calgary, so watch out Count Januans.

So special congratulations to Willie McDonald, who is graduating from his, he's finishing his MBA today. He's convocating. So eat more brand, I guess. And also Jamie asked for it to somehow be made about him as well. That's what Mr. Sinclair does, does he? Every week. Every week.

Good morning, twos. and your staff. My staff appreciate that. Okay, we got lots to get to. Let's get to it, shall we? Mark Carney, we just launched Canada's new AI strategy. AI for all. We're taking control of our future with AI

that's governed by Canadian values, AI that's accountable to Canadians, and AI that serves all Canadians. Yep. A few problems with this. Sure. Okay, let's say after this, are number five globally

in AIVC investment. One, two, three, and four are all orders of magnitude more than everybody else combined. You know, it's kind of like saying you've maybe got like a top 10 military in the world where numbers one, two, three are the U.S. Russian China and the U.S. alone spends more than every other country on the list.

Yeah. I'm, it'd be like if you're... You're staring at me blankly. I'm like, would you? like me to add something in? Like the the towel boy for, well, the tower, the tower boy for the Chicago Bulls is one of the,

you know, top 30 people on that team in terms of height in that organization. But that's not really saying much. Uh, here's a fun, here's a fun fact on, uh, Canada's AI strategy. It includes the word indigenous over six, times more than GPU.

And for those of you like me, then we're like GPU, what is that? GPU stands for graphics processing unit, a specialized processor designed for handling parallel computations, especially for graphics, and now widely use for AI, machine learning, scientific simulations, video editing, and video editing, and more. And also Bitcoin mining.

So there you go. I mean, it does sound like a Canadian strategy, doesn't it? Well, it's just... At this point? Typically in business, you do a make or buy analysis for like everything you need or use at some level. Like even something as simple is, do you have a pen in front of you? Are you asking me a question? Yes. Do you have a pen? No. Okay. Here's a pen. Okay. Even though it was just like not even

it got processed through automatically, this pen was a make or buy analysis because it was do I make a pen or do I buy a pen? Well, the pen costs $0.38. And it's going to be a lot easier than figuring out how to make it. And so I bought it instead. Same thing with the vehicle, right? I mean, you've got all these companies that have company vehicles. And it's far simpler for them to just, you know,

think about like an HVAC company. Guardian plumbing, guardian plumbing and heating. Even though it wasn't probably a conscious discussion that the boys had, At some level, they realized that they're far better off focusing on the plumbing and heating side of things. And not making a vehicle? A vehicle that could be the service van, right? And it's, it should be the same thing with AI.

You look at it. You say, okay, well, the U.S., for example, is light years ahead of whatever Canada is befuddledly trying to fucking do. it's far better to just buy what they have at this point than to try and make our own, which is going to be, what's it going to run on, fucking solar power calculators? Like,

it's just the state of innovation in this country is so embarrassing. Look at the alternative to Starlink that couldn't get off the ground. He yells, Mark Carney's focus has liberal MPs bristling over the course of several caucus meetings now. Grint MPs report Carney's lashing out of certain members when he doesn't like the message they deliver. They include Nova Scotia MP Jamie Batiste, Mick Ma from Cape Britain, raising concerns over negative perceptions of governments changing to the Indian Act and receiving a stunning rebuke. Winnipeg MP Doug E. Alphson, a physician being told not to come to the private.

Minister with the concerns over the lack of federal response to Alberta's two-tiered health care, Bill 11, and LaValle MP, Angelo Iacona, who wanted the Prime Minister to visit his riding and was met with Carnies, insisting he'd been to Laval recently, though he had not. The experiences have left a lasting imprint on several MPs. He yells at one MP who, like others, spoke on conditions of a non-minimic, an animim. Conditions of what? I can't spit it out this morning, too. Can't spit it out.

Conditions of what? I can hear it in my head. My tongue is not working today. Conditions of what, Sean? Anand and mimidy. See, I'm like... Abidabidi-dab-de-be-dib-deebate. You sound like you're trying to say the name of the liberal MP who's taking all our guns away.

So according to several MPs who spoke under the condition of Gary Annan and Sandigree. I need a good laugh. I need a good laugh. Hey. I didn't think this was going to... You assume on an infinite timeline and everything's going to happen on occasion. But here's me defending Mark Carney.

Carney is basically saying to them, quit coming to me with problems, come to me with solutions. Correct. And for a giant sloppy bureaucracy that has just gotten worse and worse since its conception, but especially over the last decade,

For him to say, look, rather than come to me, be like, everybody's mad and upset and this is the problem, be like, hey, we're looking at a problem. I came up with three possible solutions. This is the one I favor. Here's why. Here's a breakdown and just be on your way, right? Because he's, in theory, solving a lot of big problems. In theory, you know, like, which fancy wine are we going to have on our next fucking. and flight and how brazed should the beef be on said flight.

But if he was actually taking this seriously, that's the approach. That's the approach I would have. Be like, don't tell me that people want a solution. Give me a few proposed solutions to whatever problem they have and why they, what's the problem? Why do they think it's a problem? What are some of the proposed solutions? And which ones do you think are best and why?

That's it. Rather than wasting my time with a bunch of idiot chidwagging for people who demonstrably vapid idiots. Because if they're incapable of giving you an executive summary of what changes people would like to have happen and why, then why you'd just be wasting your time talking to them anyway? I still can't believe I can't say that word. I can hear it in my head and I can't get my tongue to say it. That is a frustrating thing. I heard everything you just said.

I'm still stuck and I can't. say a word. Tongue doesn't want to pronounce it today, Tews. That's the way 2-11 is going to go for me, I guess. Government of Canada announces immediate support to strengthen Canadian culture and ensure Canadian content remains affordable. Okay. Real quick, before you get to that.

You cut out. Can't hear you. You froze. Tews. Am I talking to myself on this thing? Everybody else see twos freeze? Somebody comment, because I'm like, either I'm talking to a void or two. disappeared a us anyone is it me is it too anyone yep he's frozen all right okay talking to myself

here how's everybody doing out there twos is gone although he's still stuck on my screen that's weird okay well mashup 211 really coming in i was curious what twos was going to say there um but uh yeah okay thank you thank you everybody uh clicking in We just need twos to freeze and disappear for everybody to start commenting. Thank you for that. I still can't believe I can't say it. I can't say it. I'm like, I can hear it in my head.

You ever have that, folks? What a strange Friday to have something. Usually pretty good at him regardless. Okay. Too's is probably coming back in. I can hear them. Tews is getting a little frustrated. There we are.

I'm still frustrated. right, I can't say the stupid word tos. What was your thought? On what? Okay. Then we're moving on. Mark Miller, where are you jumping to?

What are you doing right now? I don't know. Everything's frozen. Oh, okay, here. It's coming back. Robin are back. Remember how, you know, we kind of been doing this thing for a while

we were talking about how extremely fucked real estate in and around Toronto has been getting? Yes, and I realize right now that whatever I had planned for 2-11, 2's is going to mess with it because this is all in a chain of events. I mean, okay, carry on with your thoughts. Do you think I'm, like, personally, like, pushing the blue screen of death button on my computer? I have no idea at this point. You're always, you're always having a little bit of fun on that side, so I don't know what you're doing.

This is not fun for me. We could, we could have had a little bit of fun. I have not enjoying this. Brampton, let's go. Okay. house was purchased for $2.2.2 million in 2022. I kind of like the sounds of that. It just sold for one and a quarter mill.

Yeah. Yeah. In four years, in four years, while housing has gone through the roof and everything is increasingly less affordable and prices are skyrocketing. In Brampton, they're selling for almost half of what they were four years ago. Yeah, that's, it's pretty wild, to be honest.

I would say. Mm-hmm. Okay, I got to bring this up again real quick, but just it's going to go away in a second. All right. All right. Can I get to Mark Miller? Am I, like, or are you got something else you want to throw in the middle of all? Well, I don't know, I don't know where you went with it.

Believe it or not, I didn't, I'm not privy to the last several moments of the matchup. Oh, okay. All right. Figure your stuff out, all right? Okay. Here we go. Mark Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, responsible for official languages, announced federal investment of $600 million per year to provide stability

and immediate support to Canadians, Canada's audio and audiovisual sectors to keep our culture accessible and affordable for all Canadians. Where the hell is this? What are you talking about? What is going on right now? If we go in the Tulees, I feel like the entire episode right now is going to be in the Tulees.

And folks, I know you tune in for that, but me and Tews right now are not on the same page. I don't know what's going on. What is going on? What do you mean? What is there? You're kind of burying the lead here. Just the way you were reading it off.

Sorry. The way I was reading it off? Well, yeah, because you'd usually kind of lead with what we were talking about rather than some quote in the middle of it. What do you? Basically. what this is

is that they got rid of the 15% extra tax on streamers. That's what this announcement is. The one, so the conservatives put forth a motion in parliament to end that 15% extra tax on streamers that we talked about last week. And the liberals voted that down. And then they announced that actually they were going to do it.

It was just our idea the whole time. And you can see where I was kind of confused about the way you let it into it versus the meat and potatoes of it. The way you wanted to be let into? Yeah, the obvious implications of it. But yes, yes, it was confusing. Confusing. Well, I guess that's what I'm here for, right, folks?

To just throw a wrench and twos's spokes to make sure that he doesn't just, you know, we keep it in the Toulis. We're going to be in the Toulies all episode. Mashup to 11 in the Toulis. Mashup Tule 11? Yes. Yes, that's exactly. Right. Okay. U.S. excludes Canada from trade talks with Mexico.

Well, as this brilliant economist said in Switzerland recently, what was his name, Mark Carney, and in Switzerland it was at Davos, he said you're either at the table or you're on the menu. And it appears that Canada is not at the table. Draw your own conclusions. Albu was up. Yeah, yeah. yes very much so hey if you were if if if australia was to try and do something like that do you think they would be like elbows up or elbows down under elbows down under i don't know noak you want to talk about henry noak i mean there's a whole bunch of i assume you want to

show some of the screenshots do you want me to bring up some of them what would you like to say here It's obviously the He was We talked Last week we talked about it I want to say Killed The body cam

The body cam footage Has been partially released It contradicts all of the statements That the police had been making And they've deleted all the tweets related to those statements Oddly enough Because they were fucking lies

And it verified The early accounts that this guy had been handcuffed and that they had he had said, I can't breathe. I have been stabbed. And the police response was, I don't think you have made. And then he died on the ground. And the last words he ever heard in this life were the police reading him his rights. And now police watchdog urges people not to speculate about teenagers murder.

There is no speculation. This is really fucking. cut and drive. I'm reading the headline dues. Now Derek Campbell, director of the independent office for police conduct, has warned that discussion of the case could risk prejudicing the investigation. Mr. Campbell said he was acutely aware of the public interest in what happened,

but urge people to stop speculating. We talked last week, I believe he was last week, about how many articles the CBC had ran on this. And here's the new one, how Britain's far-right hijacked murder. To be clear, to be clear, this isn't the new one they wrote. This is to date the only one they have wrote.

How Britain's far right hijacked the murder of Henry Noak. That's the headline. I can go into it if you want. But there's that. The BBC has issued a statement standing by their decision to exclude restore Britain from the by-election question time tomorrow in Makerfield. There's a whole bunch going on here. And then if I

Smart here I can pull up the screen You've got I can't breathe Justice for Henry Novak On a bridge You have Right here

Right all of them are saying not to make it political But if you don't politicize this Do not politicize this This is not the thing you need to politicize And the comparisons to George Floyd Are all over the place Like I said last week It's not just us doing it

and now they've gotten even more sharp over the past, over the past week. And so it's just this call to, you know, not have two-tiered policing to, to, you know, let's just, let's just be calm and reasonable about this. Here's the thing is that the people they're telling to be calm and reasonable aren't going around burning shit down so far.

And they're still being like, you need to be calm and reasonable. and we're going to use the full force of the law against you, not the only thing immune to COVID is mass protests and burning and looting. CNN isn't going to be calling this mostly peaceful. Nobody is, this is basically saying we're operating under the same set of rules that you created when you thought it could be politically expedient for you. and in this case

it's fairly justified and now you've got a situation where like if you took the smartest and most cynical far right people who wanted to turn like some perfect turn of events

into a catalyst for change and movement towards their ideology like if you just took the most sociopath You know, who are just like, okay, well, yeah, yeah, somebody obviously needs to die and here's the conditions it should be under. Like, it could not be more on the nose than this. Even his dying words, I can't breathe. Like, this is just, it's so spot on and so perfect that it almost makes you think you're living in a simulation.

Like, you know, Elon Musk, you said a few times that one of the things that if we were living in a simulation, you would see things that would be peak irony that would just be so perfect as to be implausible. And this is that. This is that on fucking steroids. You know, ceremonial daggers. Here's the thing. If it's ceremonial, that guy didn't end up with a ceremonial stab to his lung. the ceremonial part of this falls fucking flat and you know in in Manitoba

we've got some guys saying he's not allowed to take he's complaining because he's not allowed to take the RCMP test with his ceremonial dagger well then don't that's it if if you're upset that you can't do this then don't

these are the rules this is how it's laid out. And I think there's a pretty decent argument for stuff like this to maybe just become a little bit more pushed back on. You've got all of these cops treating things completely differently. You've got all of these politicians saying, okay, politicize this, but not that. And you've got places like CBC being as, as misrepresentative of it,

misrepresentative of it as possible when they're even reluctantly forced to discuss it? This is exactly starkly laid out how things are in the world right now. I don't know. Tell me I'm wrong. You're not wrong. I was going to pull this back up. So they quoted Kirstarmer is saying,

exploiting this tragedy to create grievances and division, would be wrong in any circumstance. And there he is, for those of you listening along, there's him taking a knee for George Floyd. Taking a knee in some office, it's a photo op. Yep, yep. Because it's all fucking performative. This is the logical conclusion of DEI.

This is absolutely it. You've got, for lack of a better word, incompatible cultures. And look, this isn't a raised thing. This isn't a gender thing. This isn't a religion thing. If one group of people thinks it's okay to just stab somebody, laugh about it, video him as he's dying, and then lie to it, lie about it to authority figures so that

that person gets arrested and then that person dies in handcuffs. that is pretty fucking much incompatibility. Recession. Too soon to call recession rules Canadian authority on economic downturns. What are you bububbubbubbub what are you bugging about? Like every important world event, it is important for us to discuss the memes. All right, let's discuss the memes, Tews. Okay.

Here is. So one of the things they were doing was lighting. wheelie bins on fire and pushing them towards the police officers. And then there was a whole lot of people, you know, like the police stations would be tweeting saying that they've been attacked by wheeling bins. And then the responses were, I don't think you have made. And here's a medieval, like a fake medieval drawing of a giant battle with knights.

And there's a peasant throwing a flaming wheelie bin at one of the knights. Here, you got a new take. on like the classic bearded guy meme where there's a police officer going oh it says I've been struck by a wheelie bed and then the response I don't think you have mate

there's all kinds of this you've got literally here's the Digua family statement this is so to be clear this is the statement from the family who the guy stabbed and murdered him lied to people around him the one of the

family members tried to hide the weapon and another one of the family members was trying to run misdirection on the police officers. And this is from the Digwa family. The loss of a young life is a grief that no family should ever have to carry. We are deeply sorry for the pain and suffering of the NOAC family had to endure. We love Vikram. We will continue to love him. That does not stand in opposition to the sorrow we feel for the NOAC family. Both are real. Both are real. Both will remain with us for the rest of our lives. They apologize to the Sikh community for the son's actions

which have unfairly brought the community into disrepute. We ask that the tragedy is not used by anyone to inflame division or hostility towards any community. And we now ask for privacy as we come to terms with what lies ahead. I do not give a fuck what this family thinks.

or wants. And analysis of this and thoughts and perspectives on this are not going to be the thing inflaming division. This is that classic Norm MacDonald tweet. Like if we had another 9-11, think of the backlash on Muslims. This is, this is it. You literally have, you literally have seek groups saying, that because of this, people are mad at them.

Yeah. So what? It doesn't address the fact that it's pretty fucking justified here. And so the family, which basically aided and abetted the murder of somebody in England, is asking for privacy? Well, you're going to get lots of fucking privacy and solitary confinement. Anyways, that was it. The memes and then the response from the family.

let's move on to whatever, whatever else we got next. Recession. It's too soon to call recession rules Canadian authority on economic downturns. Okay. I assume you want to show the Carney video. Well, I want to show the Carney video. I think it's really important that we talk about what went on first, though. So the unofficial authority on recession calls in Canada to say, says it's too soon to

the words. Debate has raged. You got technical recession economists say it's technically this. It's technically that. It doesn't diminish the fact that it fucking is. If I say that I technically shit my pants, it doesn't, it doesn't lessen the amount of shit

that is in my pants at that moment. You actually, you are poo-poo-pipy man. You actually have poo in your pants? Yeah, yeah, fair observation. Fair observation. It's a hypothetical situation. I haven't shipped my pants in like three, four, five weeks. So anyway.

So you have boo in your pants? Well, technically, technically. Technically, I do. I mean, that kid in Britain is technically dead. Okay. We are technically run by a bunch of idiots. and the media technically is running cover on them. This is brown face all over again.

Oh, it's not as, it's not as bad as black face because it's only brown face. Well, it's not as bad as a recession because it's only technically a recession. But in the meantime, our deficits doubled from the last fiscal year, says watchdog. So like, remember when Christian Freeland resigned over how much fucking deficit we were running?

Yeah. Twice as much. Twice as much now. And here's the thing, regardless of what I say or what you say about what constitutes a recession, I think this is one time in MASHM history where I think we absolutely do need to see what the experts have to say. As you talk about the possibility of what you call a technical recession, now again to people watching this program, we don't know what a technical recession is or might feel like. It may not sound too bad a technical recession.

It's only a technical recession. It's not a real one. What would it feel like? Well, look, the technical definition of a technical recession is just that. It's two quarters of flat or negative growth. Are you talking about... Oh, isn't that interesting? Mark Carney on the BBC talking about what exactly constitutes a technical recession

and whether it actually changes, given however much fucking pageantry you want to surround it in. Well, a technical technical recession. Anyways, that's a mouthful. Separation. Let's, let's, there's nothing been going on in Alberta or anything else with, with the referendum coming up. Has there twos? Oh, well, technically there's been discussion.

There's been technical discussion about it. Let's start here. First Nations chief says civil disobedience and option if Alberta referendum proceeds. Oh, isn't that interesting? Nope. I think that is going to be really fun and interesting to see how it plays out because, I mean, you remember during the convoy how many instances that just seemed as though the government was trying to push everybody towards getting a little punchy, getting a little kicky, getting a little sparky. A little spicy? A little spicy.

And wouldn't it be really interesting? to see the first group on these two sides being the one to break the non-kinetic treaty that we have going on right now to be something like that. I mean, you know, you kind of came close where they pulled the fire alarm during that event in Calgary. So that was that was kind of the start of it. But I think that I don't know. I mean, I'm not going to tell First Nations what they should or should.

should not do because I don't live in Ottawa. But I think it would be really interesting to see what the fallout of it was if things started getting combative and the first punch was thrown by that side. Well, it'll be interesting to watch. No doubt there. Already low Alberta separatism support dropped sharply from early 2026. Ipsis poll. The survey conducted between May 28th to June 1st found 19% of Albertans said they would vote this fall to hold a separate binding separation referendimal. 72% would check off the box to remain in Canada. Yeah, it's really interesting. 19%.

No comparison to the Angus Reid poll last week that's 35%. Why did a third of the separatists just suddenly disappear? Almost half. Why did almost half of the separatists suddenly change their mind in the past week? Maybe it's methodology. Maybe it's the fact that when they compared the declining support, between subsequent polls, they're talking about asking

completely different questions, questions that are weighted strangely. And when you look at the actual questions in them, do you support this? Or long-winded, weird, and difficult. And so when they got into the finer points of why they would leave, that was based on 63.

or 81 people somewhere in there. So you've got this statistically insignificant part of it being a big focus of this article. And here's the thing. You could say, well, you know what? Perhaps the people at Global didn't take time to read the survey closely. Maybe they just weren't aware of what exactly was being asked.

Do you know who commissioned this report, Sean? I don't actually. Global. Of course they did. Glenn chimed in. I just drove 900 kilometers through central Alberta. I lost count of the Alberta flags flying. It's not fringe.

How many laps were you doing that through central Alberta you did 900 kilometers? For those of you who don't know, Glenn has been living in, what, Vancouver? Near Vancouver. Near Vancouver. And he's relocating to central Alberta because BC has lost its damn mind. And so we welcome everybody who thinks that the world is lost. its mind, even gingers.

Somebody tweeted me or sent out not commented on the last mashup or two mashups ago, man, I'm losing my time frame about a ginger calendar and then basically sign me up. That was awesome.

Wherever you are, that was awesome. Tuesday didn't think so. Well, no, I just, I think it would be a horrible idea. from a marketing perspective for sure. Alberta separatist claim independence means holding onto a Canadian passport. We asked the legal experts.

Here's one unquote. The answer is that Albertan residents and citizens in a new theoretical republic of Alberta would have no entitlement to Canadian citizenship in the absence of Canada's consent, said Gerard Kennedy

and associate professor in the faculty of law at the University of Alberta. He went on to say, though, pragmatically, it might be difficult for Canada to deny citizenship to people with extremely strong connections to Canada, given that Ottawa has generous policy towards citizenship. Presently, people can become Canadian citizens in three main ways by being born on Canadian soil, okay, being naturalized and by descent, and in recent change to federal law, also people living

in other countries who can trace their lineage from Canadian ancestors to, qualify for Canadian citizens, citizenship, even if their Canadian ancestors left the country several generations back. Well, that's the crux of it here, is that in December of 2025, the liberals, you know how they love passing a whole bunch of stupid rules that they think couldn't possibly come and bite them in the ass? They passed Bill, what? C3, I think it was?

Which meant that you can basically become a Canadian citizenship if you can trace. it back like four or five generations that somebody was in Canada. And guess what? That's probably going to apply to a lot of people here. And so it's just, it's really interesting how this article is just fear porn. It's all it is. It's just fear porn.

It's designed to make people in Canada and Alberta specifically scared of the repercussions. But here's the thing. Like it's all based on the presumption that for this discussion to be relevant, several things have to happen. Alberta has to vote to withdraw from Canada and has to be recognized as a separate foreign nation, a separate sovereign nation. In which case they would be having their own passports. And the strength of those passports would be determined by the trade and visa relationships and everything like. that that they would have with the international community. The point of whether or not this is relevant is hinges on the question of whether an Alberta

passport would in any way be treated materially different than a Canadian one. And given the fact that Alberta is a significant part of Canada at the moment, you would have to present a decent argument as to why they would not be treated the same. and so this is just classic cart before the horse, stupid knee-jerk fear-mongering based on an extremely unthoughtful analysis of a potential situation with several dominoes that need to fall

before it would even be relevant. I think I kind of covered the basics on it. Here's Cory Morgan. Corey Morgan obviously was just on the show last week. Yes. Which, by the way, you're a dick. The town of Tabor has contacted the company I placed my ad on a billboard with as a legal registered third party advertiser and is implying

that the company may have to pull Alberta flag ad from the billboard. Yes. So it is illegal to if Cory Morgan registered as a legal third party advocate for this campaign, it's illegal to deny him advertising space. And it is also illegal for any place, let alone in municipal. to try and impose their will regarding whether or not something should be legally allowed. So this, it's a pushback without reasonable teeth, assuming that we've got a fair and just judicial system. And so the question is going to be whether or not we have that in this case.

Daniel Smith set to name experts to nail down cost of Alberta separatism. Oh, this is great. This is great. This is by far my favorite thing that happened this week. Daniel Smith came out and said that the cost for Alberta to separate from Canada $400 billion. $400 billion. Okay.

So crazy high number, right? Sean? I don't think so, but carry on. I feel like if you were to get somebody who, was a welder to sit down and be like, okay, let's come up with some practical outcomes. And what can we do here? You get a small business owner, you throw in somebody who, you know, you basically have a blue collar roundtable. If you had a serious blue collar roundtable, you could pretty much cut that number in half. The problem with that number is that

$170 billion of it is the supposedly equal distribution of our federal debt to date. Okay, so $170 billion is how much per capita Albertans owe of the money that has been spent by Ottawa. And you can make a pretty decent argument the fact that we've gotten fuck all out of that fucking place, despite the fact that we just want to be left alone. Hey, you know what? Maybe ours should be weighted a little bit lower. But if you assumed the $170 billion, that leaves $230 billion. Okay. somewhere around 15 to 20 it's probably even a little bit higher

once you take into account how disproportionately beneficial the liberals have been towards seniors lately and how so many more of them live in other places because Alberta has such a younger population I would say call it 20 billion call it 20 billion and being very generous now

how much of a deficit are we running this year in Canada? Yeah. 72? No, it's way bigger than that. Okay, Alberta's share of it is about $9 billion. What is our debt? What are you running for?

What are you? There. Shoot, I don't, I don't have that. I just have the fact that... I'll find it. I'll find it. Okay, all right. So here's the thing.

So we're at $20 billion a year going out into the rest of Canada, and we've got $9 billion as being, our share of the subsequent debts in subsequent years. So if we were to just separate entirely, just assume that everything else went exactly normally, but we're not part of Canada, and there's a million assumptions that go both ways on that, but just for the sake of simplicity and for the sake of brevity,

just assume that everything else is the same. $29 billion is the combination of our no more outflow into, the rest of Canada that we don't get back and us not taking on further federal debt. Federal or the parliamentary budget officer estimates 72 billion deficit. Just, that's where I got the 72 from. The estimates.

Okay. All right. Regardless. Okay. So, anyway, I don't know, call it $25 billion. $25 billion. And we've got $170 billion to make up for. We've got to pay $170 billion up front to no longer be out $25 billion a year. That's a payback period of less than seven years.

Well, so when she came out with the number, $400 billion, right? Everybody lost her mind and everything else. I was like, they have no idea what they've done. Yeah, I thought the same thing, Tews. This is a hell of a good deal. Just grossly oversimplified, probably vastly understating the upsides, and to be totally fair simplifying some of the complications, but I think that $170 billion is vastly overestimating what the actual cost would be.

So if you say the two cancel out, you've got a payback period of less than seven years. And just say a decade, just for go a little longer in a decade. Okay, right. Okay, so two things. One, payback period of less than seven years is a, fairly decent investment. Okay. Two, like it's not perfect, but it's, yeah, it's, it's pretty good. And there's, it's, like I said, it's not taking an account any of the upsides. But here's how big of a deal,

how much fucking money goes into the rest of the country is that if it cost, if it cost $170 billion to get the fuck out and we were better than break even after less than seven years, doesn't that raise any red flags to everybody else. Once again, I actually agree with you. So, um, like this, it's plainly stating what's there, but it's fundamentally misunderstanding the implications. Well, no, it's, it's, it's stating what's there, but it's not giving any nuance to the other side of this.

It's, you don't need nuance. You look at it. You're like, this is a no brainer on the math. I know, but what we're seeing come out and what we should have, everybody should have known was going to come was all the things coming out. Now, now you got former prime. Minister Harper to make the case for the United Canada head of Alberta referendum, right?

He's going to come out and support staying in Canada. Everybody in their dog is going to come out and support staying in Canada. Yes, absolutely, especially like, well, the vested interest people. Correct. Basically have you, it comes down to roughly speaking three camps, two large ones, which are the people who are the makers, builders, doers, the regular everyday folk in Alberta.

and Western Canada as a whole, I would say, who see this as a slam dunk no-brainer. And then in all their various ways, you've got the people with a vested interest in the status quo. Stephen Harper, whose party would absolutely just cease to lose any relevance it had overnight if Alberta was to separate. Pierre Palliab, who's the current leader of that party, same thing. Oh, he wants Alberta to stay in Canada.

I wonder why, because his job fucking depends on it. All these people whose mortgage payments depend on Alberta staying in Canada. Where does global get all their money from? They're trading at three cents, Corey said last week. Their stock is at three pennies. You can't even, if you buy one of their shares with the lowest amount of issued currency in this country, you would still be required to get back change. They only exist because of the federal government.

All of these people, it's really interesting because anybody who is pro-federal, you don't have to look very far to find out that their car payment comes from Canada staying just the fucking way it is. And the third small group are the people who have just unquestioningly gone along with everything that those people have ever told them. Yeah, well, once again, I agree with you. Now, there's still a bunch of undecideds in the. middle.

This is the, you know, like, there's just another side of this argument and it's going to be framed by the, the group you're talking about that have a vested interest. It's going to be framed a certain way. Right? And that's what we're seeing. I think it's awesome because the best argument that has been put forward so far, by far, the best argument has been that it's going to be long, difficult, and expensive. Completely agree.

Nothing good is easy. if you're going to build something awesome, it's going to take time, it's going to take work. Look at your studio. That didn't happen overnight. And if you wanted it to happen overnight, it would have sucked. And this is going to be the same kind of thing.

But the financial argument they made to back that, which seems completely spurious as far as the numbers involved, if you actually look at the numbers for more than a moment or two, they're a slam dunk no-brainer for separation. The thing you got to realize is you're going to have the full weight of the federal government attack this. The full weight of the three-cent global news slash every other mainstream media attack this. Daniel Smith has come out. They shouldn't shock anyone.

I don't think it's shocking. She has said she is four remaining in Canada. So she's going, the Alberta government is going to position it that they want to stay in Canada. So all this points to this is what you're up against. Okay. But here's the thing, though, as well. And I was really hoping you were going to tee this up. I was like, oh, Sean, you beautiful bastard.

And then you did. You took it away from me. You're like the full weight of these people. The full weight of these people. The full weight of these people. And I'm like, come on, say NDP, say NDP, say NDP. And the full weight of NDP. You left me hanging.

The full weight of the NDP is going to be behind this. Not even going to do it. You're going to do it. You're a dick. You're a dick. The full weight of the NDP is behind this. You're such an asshole. I hope it rains this weekend.

I hope you get rained on. I hope you camping sucks. Why would you push that? That's not just me. It's my kids. You wish you didn't rain on the kids? Is that what you're doing? It'll be just going to go.

full communist and punish the children of the malefactors. Anything else on independence? New BC leader says conservative leader, Finley said she would maintain economic relations with an independent

Alberta and the left got oh, she's so evil. But the train that feeds the goods land in Vancouver, they go on a train that drive through Alberta, I don't think anybody has a fucking say

in whether or not, on any side, whether or not economic relations will continue. There's not going to be any building a giant fucking impermeable wall over this. That's it. That's it.

Like it or not, both sides are going to have to deal with each other. You want to switch to the killdozer? Oh, one final important point. I just, okay. So Dan Williams,

you remember that, that guy a couple months ago. We're like, who the hell is this dude? That just mopped up the floor with the reporters? Well, he wants us to lead, not leave.

Which is a crock of her shit, Dan. I got to be honest with you. I'm really disappointed. But he's talking about the last decade trying to remake Canada without us. And Daniel Smith talks about the bad policies of the last decade.

And Pollyev talks about the way things have turned around in the past decade. And look, I get it. It's a tough road to walk. It's a fine needle to thread because you have to make a case for the fact that the liberals have fucking sucked without addressing the fact that confederation itself has been an absolute disaster. You don't talk about the bad decisions that the conservatives made because you're the one who made the decisions in the case of Paliab. you can't admit that the deck has been stacked from day one.

I mean, you go back before this, you've got the National Energy Program. You go back a little bit further, the Canadian Wheat Board. You've got tariffs on processed wheat coming out of Alberta going back a long ways that all the value add can be done in Ontario. This has been a longstanding thing. And I get the fact that the current iteration of it has been going on for a decade, but this thing keeps rearing its ugly fucking. head. It's always just one vote away from going back to the way things have been pretty

much in perpetuity since Alberta was told it was now part of Canada. Nobody in Alberta signed off on a document. Do you know where the documents that proclaimed that Alberta was now part of Canada were signed? Ottawa? At the bottom of the page in England. I check about the video for people not watching. They're just listening, right? We didn't, you didn't play it, but you could just see it. What's the one thing he showed of Canada other than the parliament buildings in Ottawa? A welder?

And? Edmonton. Connor McDavid scoring the goal in the Four Nations Cup. The thing that, no, no, no, no, no. It's not about Connor McDavid. It's about when you. look at the most Canadian moments in our history of my lifetime. What are they centered around? Olympic hockey. That's what we point to as being Canadian. The Four Nations Cup is in Olympics.

I know. Thanks, too. I'm just saying, I would say Sidney Crosby scoring in Vancouver, right? You're, you're proud to be Canadian. It isn't, you know, like they aren't showing a whole bunch of other things. What's in his video? nostalgia bait right but but the point I'm making here is that no matter what the current iteration of Western alienation is it keeps coming fucking back okay sure yeah there's

you know you've got weird lesions one time and then your hair falls out and something gets all scabby and weird on your elbow okay sure you fix one problem and another happens, but it doesn't change the fact that there is an underlying disease causing new fucking symptoms every so often.

And that's the situation in Canada. Oh, yeah, sure, we might get a few more elected representatives in Alberta. Is that going to change the fact that you've got people on the other side of the fucking continent who will vote for their interests in a way that is zero sum with ours? It's just going to keep happening. These are the symptoms, not the disease. When they talk about what's happening in the last 10 years, it's just the scabs.

They're just talking about the way it's manifesting in its current iteration, and that's it. And this is not going to stop until the disease gets cured. Before we move on, I assume you want to bring up, well, I put it up on the screen, Jen Gerson, and she says, yes, imagine Alberta's glorious future as an exploited extractive resource colony, but this time with America's ambition and scale. Yes. Now let's read that again carefully here. Yes, imagine Alberta's glorious future as an exploited and extractive resource colony,

but this time with America's ambition and scale. So Jen Gerson, who is one of the founding members of this lead-not-leave thing, is saying she's the, the, the underlying assumption here is that Alberta is currently an exploited and extractive resource colony. This tweet doesn't work unless Alberta is currently a resource colony for the rest of Canada. The best people making the shiniest arguments are still at their fundamental level, acknowledging that this is fucking broken.

you're not making the argument you think you are, Jen. You're actually agreeing with us. All right. Anniversary of the killdozer. I know this is near and dear to his heart. Well, I mean, on a completely unrelated note from the last discussion. Here's a great summary of what happened. For those of you who know and celebrate, here's to you, for those of you who don't know what it is.

Every year we talk about this because it's important. Granby, Colorado. Marvin Hemeyer was a man who owned a muffler shop in Granby, Colorado. The city council ordained to approve the construction of a concrete factory in the lot across from Marvin's shop. In the process, this blocked the only access road

to the muffler shop. Just think about that for a second. You've got a business. and they close down the road to the business. Like, if you're on an acreage and the government closes down your driveway and doesn't let you build a new driveway, what the fuck would you do? This is the thing he was presented with. He petitioned to stop the construction to no avail.

He petitioned to construct a new access road and even bought the heavy machinery to do so himself. Denied. The concrete factory went up in disregard to the ramifications on Marvin's business to had insult to injury, the factory construction disconnected the muffler shop from the city sewage lines. And indifferent city government then chose to find Marvin for this. He got fine because the new concrete factory that closed off his access road. He was unable to build a new one and they cut off his access to the city sewer and he got fine for that. His business and his livelihood were in ruin. Rather than lie down and die, Marvin chose to fight back over the

course of a year and a half, Marvin secretly outfitted the bulldozer he bought to save his business with three-foot-stick-thick steel and concrete armor, camera systems, and enclosed bulletproof glass. On June 4, 2004, he lowered the armored shell over the top of himself, and he welded it in, by the way, entoming himself inside the killdozer to make his last stand. He burst from the walls of his muffler shop and straight into the concrete factory that ruined his business. Over the course of the next several hours, 13 buildings owned by those officials that had wronged him, including the city council building itself. SWAT teams swarmed the dozer, but it proved immune to small arms, fire, and even explosives.

Another piece of heavy machinery was even brought out to fight the killdozer, but it too fell to the dozer's righteous fury. In the end, Marvin's killdozer became trapped in one of the buildings it was built to destroy. Marvin chose to take his own life, the only life he took that day. Today we celebrate Kildozer Day in Marvin Heemeyer, the last great American folk hero, a man driven to the brink who chose to fight back against an indifferent system. From the notes left behind after his passing, I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things. Happy Kildozer Day. There's Franklin driving the Kildozer.

Franklin celebrates an obscure holiday, and there he is with the Kildozer. Yep. Okay. So anyway, yeah, just, you know, it's, it's weird that those two discussions were right back to back. I don't know why that happened, but here we are. Okay, let's move on to some goofy things, okay? Extremely intelligent bear at large in Japan after hurting four, quote, an extremely intelligent bear that injured four people. In northern Japan, remains at large as of Friday after apparently unlatching a window will evading capture and turning on a water tap official said, Yeah, yeah, he was thirsty

and so he turned on a water tap to drink. This is a Japanese bear. You don't have to say that it's way more intelligent than all of the other bears. It goes without saying that thing's been taking violin lessons since it was three. The only thing posing an actual danger to this bear at this moment is the disapproval of his parents.

RCMP officers tell members of the public that they have to leave the beach at precisely 2106. Why? Because that's the official time the sunsets and Canadians apparently now have a curfew on beaches. My question on this. Okay, well, I just want to show the video. Yeah, yeah, sure.

Okay. That's it. You're the very first officers I've seen here in 11 years. They say, whoop, get the fuck out. Like people watch the sunset to take a photo 10 minutes after because the color of the sky. That's time to go. I'm not going on.

your words. I'm not going to argue with you. I'm not going to ask you if they changed it today because this is the only time this is enforced the way that you're enforcing it. Metro Vancouver says sunset is the time of beach closing. Sunset today is 2106. Okay. We we come here. It is 2106. Now for those of you watching this, the thing that kind of stands out is there's a lot of natural light. It's, you know, and if you're a Hunter, you probably know exactly what your part of the woods looks like at sunset because you need to be out of there by a half hour afterwards. And this is a lot brighter than you would expect at sunset. So it's one of those, the governments decided this is what time sunset is, regardless of

where the fucking sun is in the sky. Here's just another thought on this. because I was curious, like Glenn being out on the West Coast, I was curious, his thoughts. This is Jason James. He says, this is wrecked beach in Vancouver, my favorite beach on Earth. It closes at 10 p.m. because there are predatory animals in the area. A lot of the people that are high, mushrooms and they're psychedelics. There's a huge staircase you have to walk to reach civilization and doing it in a dark

well high is almost impossible. The police do a sweep every night during the summer to get people out of their for their own safety. These people either don't know or just. assholes. I was curious if we got people out in BC, their thoughts, because I sit and I'm like, I don't know, like the video looks, you know, on first glance too, as you're like, uh, this is getting weirder in Canada and saying that, I don't know. I was kind of curious what my take, my take on it was just the government loves putting rules on people regardless of whether they make sense or not. and this seems to be a perfect case of

how high was the sun at that exact moment in time? Because it seemed like there was a lot of fucking sunlight to say it is literally the exact moment that sunset's happening. Jason James, by the way, we should have him. I've never actually talked to the guy, but just always seeing him in his feed from what I understand. He lives fairly close by me too.

Jason, if you happen to be listening, for some reason. We should have you on. Yeah, well, that's why I brought it up because I don't think Jason is the type to go. Well, regardless. Jason is usually very critical of the Canadian government. And he's pointing to this specific spot isn't the place to make your last stand on, is essentially what he's saying. Especially if you're high on psilocybin.

but yeah my take is that that's not fucking sunset well yeah but he's saying that uh it closes at 10 p.m. and once again there's it sounds like there's an obvious a whole bunch if you scroll through people responding to him he's got a lot of good reasons in there why they do it that's that's what I'm trying to point out right like we want to there's certain things in Canada to get very upset about this just doesn't seem like you know once again I'm I'm looking at what Jason's put out and I'm going, it doesn't seem like this is one to lose your mind on. That's what I'm saying to is.

Okay. I just, it just looks like a bunch of bureaucrats forcing their will on people, whether it made sense or not. But once again, I don't live there. That's why I'm leaning on the match of course. That's a different consideration than my take.

Well, and I just, I look at, we got people listening to us all over the place. So I'm, I'm just curious, right? This starts happening at, um,

I don't know, whatever beach, you know, you're, you're close to. and it starts happening all over the place, then I'll start to consider it. I just don't think this is going to be a trend we see at all the beaches.

Like I just don't. So I guess we'll wait and see. Cop arrested, fired for allegedly pointing gun at fellow officer for microwaving fish at a police station. That's in South Carolina. Yeah. I see no crime here. I was expecting more out of the article,

but realistically, the headline covers it. Holly Done, CBC was flooded with angry. Sorry, sorry, something popped up when I was looking at that article from the New York Post. Hell on Wheels killer, McKenzie Shurrilla, confessed to murders and kept twisted scrapbook ex-inmate claims.

Hill on Wheels killer, oh, this isn't, this isn't about the show. She just got called the Hell on Wheels killer. Never mind, that's disappointing. I'm looking at the picture and I'm like, I don't recognize her. I don't think I've worked with her. CBC was flooded with angry emails after former TV host, Travis,

I can't say the last name, whatever. Dan Reddy's, sure, told MPs he was instructed to keep conservatives off the air. We don't hit the mark in every story. He's quoted as saying, no, no, no, Brody Fenlin was quoted as saying, we don't hit the mark on every story as a response to that. Oh, sorry, yes, yes, I missed. Yeah. So, I mean, we literally just talked about the largely omitted coverage of the murder in England

and how when they did finally grudgingly do an article, it was about how the far right seized it as a rally cry. I mean, this is literally, like, this is just next level gas landing. Drivers. Show me some, you know, one of the, if you're new to the show, we do a driver's segment. I stopped paying attention or allowing Toos to bring up whatever he wants to bring up. It's not always drivers, I've learned. Tews likes to sneak things in there.

And I'm kind of curious what you have this week. Well, this is a Japanese robot. And so for those of you listening and not watching, there was a Japanese robot with a blue wig who was doing some martial arts forms. and then he spun around towards the crowd nearby and kicked a small child in what appeared to be his dick. And it was fucking hilarious. In fact, we're going to watch it again.

I would say midsection. Yeah, yeah, look, the second time I watched it, I'm like, that's probably a little bit high for his dick, but still hilarious. Anytime you see a robot punching a child or kicking a child, it is always good watching. The next one. Seattle's link light rail service was suspended after a driver somehow ended up on the tracks at Mount Baker Station.

The interesting thing, the tracks are roughly 30 feet above street level. You can't park here. You can't park here. And then an update, you may remember last week, I'm going to mute this, but you remember last week we showed the video of the guy doing the jump off of Breckenridge Fall. Yes. Update. RCMP Conservation Officers and Transport Canada's Office of Boating Safety are investigating this incident.

Police say the investigation is focused on the alleged careless operation of a vehicle and want to prevent similar incidents. You went off a 40-foot fucking waterfall in a boat and stuck the landing. That is the furthest thing from careless, I could possibly imagine. There's nothing careless about that. That was very carefully done. He was even wearing a helmet. What do you want from him? You guys care about safety, right?

He was wearing a helmet. They're just mad whenever somebody does something awesome. Switch it over to the sports desk. One year after Aquitl and hockey can, a sexual assault trial Carter Hark could win a Stanley Cup. We're not going to do the CIA gold heist? We are going to do the CIA. I had it after.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so, I mean, you know, we were just talking about how, you know, impartial and factual and things like that, CBC is. And then they just go on this big article talking about this goalie from Alberta, who just so happened to be wearing an Alberta separation shirt last week in the mashup. And how the big focus on this was that he had charges brought against him for sexual assault. despite the fact that they were acquitted twice. Also, he's got a 2.22.

I thought that's exactly why you brought up. Yeah, 2.22 goals against average. We all know why 2's brought it up. Rod Brinnamar. No, I brought it up because CBC again is just, like there's that, the evidence was overwhelmingly damning against the girl involved. And the fact that that's even part of the discussion at this point

means that they're being intentionally dishonest about it. But hey, we've got Finley saying everything's awesome. Rod Brindamore. He's competed in 97 of 99 Hurricanes all-time postseason wins. 39 as a player, 58 as a head coach. That's an institution guy right there. What's his hometown? What's his hometown?

I don't know. What is his hometown? I don't know. I know he went to Wilcox. like he went to Notre Dame, but I don't know where his hometown is. Answer, percolating, percolating, thinking, Ottawa, Ontario,

but he considers Campbell, River, British Columbia is his true hometown. He was born in Ottawa. Yeah. There you go. All right. And then you got this one? Yeah.

A former teammate of Yarmory Arger has now appeared in, the final in 46 straight seasons. I think that's just awesome, personally. Like, how cool? How cool is that? Yeah, it goes back to 1980, Brian Trauchier. Yeah.

And then I didn't, who did he play with the, where did he play with the moose? Actually, I was wondering that same thing. Where did he play with Messier? I don't know. As soon as somebody says it, I'm going to be like, oh, yeah, of course. course. But I just, I love how weird this stat is. You know what I mean? Like, who would ever think

to just be like, okay, well, and then, you know, what's the track record? Who's got probably the highest likelihood of this being valid and how far back can you take it? So I, I found that, I found that stat to be really, really fun. Now are we going to do the gold heist? No, I want you to go to, I want you to, did you watch the Vince Vaughn? No, you were supposed to put it in the notes. I did put it in the notes. Come on, Tews. It's literally in the notes.

Okay, there it is. I saw you typing it in just now, by the way. This is something I haven't seen. He played with him in New York. Yeah. Yes. Mario is also saying the same thing. Okay, here we go.

Is it working? Huh? What's there to talk about? Undefeated season, Super Bowl champions. I mean, has any other team shut out all their opponents during the regular season and through the playoffs in the Super Bowl before? Oh, no, really for the first one? Oh, well, that'll be a fun trivia question going forward. Next question. I'm a fan. I'm a decision maker. It's what I do. It's not my fault. The rest of the league can't keep up. Blame them. I really blame me because I've raised the bar. Super high. My first decision? Lock down my franchise QB.

Caleb, what I'm telling you, big guys, I love you. And you want to know how you know I love you? Because I'm giving you all my money. Good use of funds. Size, athleticism, IQ, chill under pressure. Caleb Williams is permafrost. We've done the focus groups. We've done the straw poles.

They love it. It's a permafrost. Look, I'm not some indecisive GM without a plan who's just gonna pull a 48-year-old quarterback out of retirement just because I can't. Vince, checking on that backup QB gig. How many touchdowns? The answer is yes.

How do we stop this? Yes, you're my guy and you're in. Thanks, Vince. All right, great seeing you. You're building something special here. Not a chance. Cheryl, we got a red one in here. We talked about it.

It all starts at the negotiation table. Lucky, I like to talk. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'll find the money, Jacob. Trade requests, extensions, holdouts, There is an eye in wind, and there's also an eye in vents. A lot of pageantry. You totally did the right thing.

You're fired, but you handled it well. Bye-bye. You gotta have a death touch with this stuff. Works for me. On the field, I like to score. Call me crazy. I'm a scheme guy, though. I don't just run the same play over and over just because it works.

JK., I do do that. Everyone's excited about what we've been building. We're 6 and 0, so I just expect to go to 7 and 0 and 8 and 0, and 9 in 0. My favorite scheme? Get the ball to the money players. The NFC's real hungry. Cowley. What's a feast without a little gravy? But defense wins championships. So I stole an all-pro corner from an unsuspecting casual.

He called me brother and then ripped me off. This gig is all about keeping your emotions in check. Get the right player! Demander trade? You been talking to Vince Vaughn, ain't you? Vince has been an unbelievable GM. He's new to this, but it appears to be Vince's one. world and we're all just living in it.

FIFF! You can never get comfortable in this league. That's why I prefer to stay six steps ahead. Since you can't predict the weather, I turned the temp way down. Everyone copied that one. I also created a whole new menu, Chicago Dogs Only. It feels nice to be recognized.

Last Sunday I ran nothing but Tampa too. To take away all those drags you guys love to run. Goodbye drag routes. I have no idea what's going on right now. He was the GM, now he's the coach, What's next? Vince Vaughn at quarterback? I think it's important to get this out of the way. Fearball. The rumors are true.

Hibernate, picnic. I'm the coach. I'm the GM. And I will be playing quarterback. That's not a clown. Honey, honey, honey. Am I in on Vince Vaughn at quarterback? He's 56. Nothing. What are we watching?

Just literal decades of life experience. Decades and decades and decades. This is a joke, right? I can play old 56. These six-foot-five, he's a traditional pocket passer. The knees aren't what they used to be. I kind of want to see it. You know, Caleb's supportive.

We're gonna have a spot for him, but I think he's just loving watching me play quarterback. I mean, we're our team. Everyone puts the team first, and that's why I'm running everything. To all the haters out there, do me a favor. Stick around and watch it. It'll be more of the same next year. Thank you again.

Go beers. Oh, would you look at that. I mean, do I deserve a statue next to sweetness? I'm not saying I don't. Maybe you'll get one too. Maybe. Time to run it back. We just watched that for like five fucking minutes.

We did. Why? I enjoyed that. I thought that was very, very clever. What are you talking about? No? Slightly yes. But worth five minutes to show.

Didn't you just say? that we've got like a hard stop and all this stuff has to happen. We got a gold heist to talk about. I can't believe twos didn't enjoy it. Obviously, you weren't an EA sports guy growing up. I was. I haven't played it in a long time. I was more of a NHL-95 guy.

Now, you're a Tricia Helfer sci-fi dude. That's what you are. I get it. I get it. All right, I get it. That for me was, I thought that was very well done. I enjoyed that. College football on Sega Genesis?

I mean, YouTube's about to give us all a warning for airing that on the show. And I thought it was well worth at this time. Not all the warnings I get for everything else, Tuse puts on here. But that one I'll take. That one I'm going to take. Well, they gave us a ding on the show on the topless lady hanging upside down with her knockers banging on the bell. I got a lot of emails about that one. Yep. Yeah, because they're awesome. Gold heist.

Okay. Tews is all about the gold heist, okay? CIA official arrested with more than 42 million stashed in his house. A CIA official has been arrested after law enforcement authorities found hundreds of gold bars and millions of dollars in cash in his home, according to court documents. David Rush, who's no longer with the CIA, was taken into custody after an investigation found that he had requested tens of millions of dollars in gold bars and foreign currencies for work-related expenses. Investigators could not locate most of the currency or any of the gold bars prompting the FBI to carry out a search warrant on Rush's home in Virginia, according to charging documents. FBI agents on May 18th seized approximately 303 gold bars with an estimated value exceeding 40 million, about 35 luxury watches and about 2 million in U.S. currency. So this isn't really a heist so much. He just filled out a forum at work and said, I need a few hundred gold bars.

And then somebody stamped approved on it. And then he got a few hundred gold bars. This is kind of just, this is kind of like what we all do with Post-it notes take to its logical conclusion. Post- what? You've never grabbed a thing of Post-it notes and take it at home with you? Nope. Back when you worked for other people, you were never just like,

oh, you know what, I'm just going to, you know, it goes in your laptop bag and then somehow it ends up over by the fridge. Um. You never stole a fucking Post-it note. A thing of Post-it notes? I don't think so. Pens. Oh, I'm sure.

I'm sure I've taken something that's come home with me. I'm not saying that, but post-it notes, that's a odd one. Okay. That's the thing. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, like, this doesn't really out his eyes. You know, you know, okay, we're going to argue about. He just filled out a form. He filled out a form.

You know, you know how. You pick two articles. You know how irritating you. I find this. I'm like, too's going to really enjoy this. Yeah. You know, I'm really a hoist. Just filled out of form.

That's what you sound like right now. Let's get on to some happy news. You know what you sound like. Let's get on to some happy news. You look like you're going to hear a huge. hear what I sound like right now. You're annoying me now. Carry on.

You sound sickly. Like a vegan P-O-W. Mm, okay. Murder charges dropped for Arkansas Sheriff Nommany who killed teen daughters rapist. Yes, so we talked about this guy a little while ago, ran for sheriff, overwhelming majority win, and now the charges have been dropped.

You know, I think of all the stories. we've covered with rapists, essentially? Yeah, this is the outcome that Tuse has talked about for some time, although if it happened in Canada, you wouldn't get this outcome. No, no. It was some kind of, unless it was some kind of like, you know, visible minority thing. Now, I think this should be under a new heading,

the world is healing. We have it in happy news. I'm going to let twos run with it. But Penny Lane, Sports Illustrated, right, blowing up this week. Tews. Yeah. We're finally getting back to attractive women being shown.

And so here is her. I'm going to mute it just because I probably get another copyright infringement for that. But I feel like we've come a long way from them telling us that plus size is good and if you don't like it, you're a bigot. And now we've gone to this. And this isn't even the only one. Here's this one as well. And here it is in slow motion. Everything's better in slow motion. Look at that in slow motion. I think that's just about the best use of slow motion I have ever seen in my life. Funny story. For those of you following along at home, you probably just assume that it's just me finding all these things. That was Sean. It was me.

I'm like Tuesday is going to, I, I, I, uh, I had the gold he's calling it not a gold he could just, he filled out of form. I could jump to the screen and slap you, whatever, it doesn't matter. And, uh, you vegan P-O-W, we'll see each other very short like, okay? And then, uh, very short, like, yeah, and then Penny Lane, I'm like, the world is. Yeah, I don't even know who Penny Lane is, but now the world does. I have fallen in love. Now the world does. Right.

I mean, when was the last? time we gave positive highlights to anything in that world. I mean, we've started a bit more, but it's been under attack for some time. Sports Illustrated has not been in a positive headline for the last little bit, has it? Now it's everywhere. And now we've got this

A-list person. Penny Lane is going to be A-list. You watch. Tricia Helfer is not A-list. That was never an argument that I made, Sean. It was an argument you made, too's. Right. Community, community notes. Okay.

First off, shout out to my buddy Paul. This is birthday. Happy birthday, Paul. We've got Articulate Ventures. Okay. I'm going to pull this up. Most professionals were never taught how to, well, it's Vance Crow's interest-based communications.

You go to Articulate. Dot Ventures backslash IBC, okay? And he's got courses upcoming on how to communicate better. Simple as that. Next one is up when June 5th or July 5th? Oh, sorry, you're talking. Oh, my goodness, dude is a lot of the place.

July 6th. July 6th. July 6th, this is the next one. So, there you go. And then June 19th, the tee off for Little Hearts. That's coming up, you know, a couple weeks now. In Calgary. If you like golf.

And last year, they had gift bags. They had coolers. There was a couple of beer in them, some teas, some balls, a bunch of other neat stuff. So this literally comes with free beer, or at least it did last year. And then we are now, it is a month to's until we pull out for the year-long trip with the SMP. So going to be coming to a community, most likely near you. So if you want to nominate somebody, shoot me a text because I would love to have have some everyday folk on the podcast.

I mean, I try my best to do that anyways, but we're going to be pulling through Alberta, Saskatchewan, all the way across to Newfoundland. So if you're tuned in to the show, you got a suggestion. Shoot me a text. I'd love to hear some of your suggestions on who should come on the podcast. When we do an episode, when you're in this neck of the woods, we should go to Troshu.

Go to the Goverhill Museum and then sit on one of the picnic tables outside and do there. Yeah. All right. All right. That's going to do it for mashup 2-11. Folks, thanks for hopping on. It has been an interesting mashup, although I say that every week. This one's just everything from the blue screen of death to two's not thinking that's a gold.

Multiple blue screens. To two is not thinking that's a gold heist. Don't even want your comment. Don't even want your comment. Don't want it. Don't want it. You just sit there in silence, okay? We set a certain bar of excellence on this program.

I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I'm not interested in it. Mashup 211. It was a gold heist. It was an inside job. Okay. Thanks for tuning in, folks.

Tews, as always, I can't hear you. And I don't care what you're, I can see. He's ranting at the screen right now. That's too bad. Thanks for tuning in, folks. We're here every Friday, 10 a.m. Mountain Standard time. And we'll be back next week.

mashup 212 and uh expect at least he's still going along the lines of a honey pot a getaway driver a demo expert they got to drill through the side of it none of that happened all he did was go print out a form fill it out put a and you know what's funny if i if i just eat he's still that you still think that this is in any way legitimate says mesh it's 211 it does about us in I don't know if I've ever been more. The world is healing. This is just, it's reprehensible at all. Okay, so from now on, you were not in charge of heist.

You don't have any say in them. I am the heist. Sean will put a heist in if Sean feels like it's a heist too. Don't tell me what I could do. Mash up 211, folks. Thanks for hopping on. We'll catch up to you next week, all right? Employee.

And if you're an employee, then you have to do what I say. And what I'm saying is that you do not get to do. the heist that has been liberated from you the same way that the gold was liberated by filling out a form. Thanks folks. Have a good week. To 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 of all of my impulsive plans pop and locking 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. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the mashup.

from the nation. I can't believe you just embarrassed us like that. Tews brings us back on for one final thought. Folks, we'll see you on 212.
