Super I just think honestly like discount or not Okay so I We have sold a fucking ton of these things Since we started working with Twan And everyone we talked to I'm telling you Chris It's not going to be your last one

You're definitely not going to stop at I know I don't want to. I got to think about... Oh, 5% off. That's right. It is 5% on. Is it? Okay, there we go.

5% is pretty good. 5% on 2 grand is, you know, not a small number. It's fine. People can use that money to buy Satoshes or buy a new sweatshirt, buy some Christmas gifts, whatever. I cannot speak highly enough about these things, honestly. It's running behind me right now. I had it cranked on the weekend because it was so cold outside. I opened the window in here, shut the door, and just had it absolutely,

fucking screaming and even still it's not loud enough to interrupt anything that's going on in my basement I think I told you guys Dee and his wife were here for dinner a couple weeks ago we had it running the entire time is you can't you cannot tell that it's on it's an incredible piece of little piece of tech it's very nice did he show you what he inscribed he didn't he tried to take me into the bathroom and he's just being if you're listening to him busting balls we were playing uh we played an hour of our craters on saturday night oh yeah

and he's he's way better than me he's got a laptop or a computer or whatever and I'm playing on the console but man I'll tell you that's the first time I've really partied up with somebody for an extended period of time that game is so fun I love our creators I'm gonna play it tonight probably to be honest yeah once we are done here and I I pass this bell and I can feel brewing inside of me anyway so where do you want to start I see there's couple bangers in the show notes here there's some some funny ones some sad ones we'll be laughing and crying for the next half hour. Let's talk about the UK.

I'm sorry, Doug. I know you want us to like use them as a whiffing boy. Let's talk about the, this is a, I thought this is an interesting story. And the police over there, they designed a quick-released hijab. And that's for female police. You can't make it up.

And this hijab features a magnetic quick-release system. And it's designed to help female Muslim police officers on patrol that have been put these things been put into production according to the BBC and it's being manufactured by DMU. I have no idea who they are whether they're to manufacturers. They say the bottom part was able to be detached

and the officer was still able to keep her dignity. This is according to Detective Sergeant Yassin Desai and it's amazing to think after three years of research. It took three years of this and development. We have got the design right and taking this thing forward. Reports say it cost

500,000 pounds to develop three years, 500,000 pounds. for this quick release hijab. Love it. UK, you're leading the league. Love you guys. They are a laughing stock. No, no, no.

They're good here. It's honestly unbelievable stuff that's going on over there, is it not? Between the number of people arrested for tweets, while Starrmer says they have more free speech in the United States, the Elon Twitter thing against the European Union, you know, I realize it's not the UK,

but the immigration problem they have, you know, how quickly we forgot that only like a month and a half ago, two months ago, Starmer told people they were going to roll out a digital ID mandatory to work. We already forgot about that. The number of clownish things going on over there just keeps growing. What about the? I love it for a month. Like two weeks of something. I forget her name. Liz trust. Liz trust. She has a podcast now. Her first guest was your boy Pete. Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm going to listen to it. I have, I've, I'm warming up to McCormick now that he's kind of out of Bitcoin.

They wear the hat, the ledger hat. He didn't have the hat. He's not sponsored by them. He is sponsored by the Robertson boys, though, over at Iron still. Do you remember when he was shilling BlockFi? Yeah. And they got wrecked right up until. And he took out his money from BlockFi.

He was shilling it. That's a tough. And not using it, but telling his users to. And they did. And they lost money as a result. We used, we used Lennon right up until. the day they we stopped using they stopped sponsoring us every

sponsor we have we use yeah i don't fucking pull my shit out man so yeah it stays in yeah i think i found an interesting way joey for people to get around food prices i have a couple of food price stories here right food price corner here on the CBP sign of the times

so food price so what i've learned is a pound of beef in canada roughly cost between $7 to $15. That's according to AI. And this guy, doesn't say what type of man, just a southern Ontario man,

he was fined $7,000 for illegally killing a moose. $7,000. So I did the math here, okay? Oh, okay. $7,000 for the moose. That's without the tags. He just fucking went out and just shot the fucking thing. According to AI,

you could get between four and seven, 700 pounds if it's a big moose. And if that's the case, that's like $10 a pound. Yeah. You got to spend a lot of time cleaning it, though. Like time is money in that case too. It's quality, though.

Yeah. So it is, you can, without a fucking tag, go out, shoot a moose, and come out ahead. Yeah. Then if you're just going to buy at the grocery store. And by the way, the slop at the grocery store in most cases, probably just terrible. Covered in plastic from the moment they can.

And as soon as you're cooking, one pound turns to 300 grand. Sometimes. You don't know what I mean? Just fucking moose meat. You're not going to have it. You got to buy extra lean. You may not like taste of extra lean,

but otherwise, you know, you're just going to be cooking it in oil. So what I'm trying to get at, this might be. How much is a tag? What's the tag cost? I have no idea.

There's a lottery here for hunting tags, right? Who fucking cares? I'm not saying to do this. It's all hypothetical, by the way. I'm not suggesting to do this. But hypothetically, if one wants to do it, you're going to get better. You're going to get more bang for the buck,

just going out there, shooting a fucking moose and eating that one. It doesn't matter if you could find or not. What if, hypothetically, you shoot three or four of them, and it's the fourth time you get fucking caught. Yeah. My other question is,

how are they going to get, yeah, how are they going to catch the guy? Polly is saying that tags are 30 bucks. I see tags at 200 and another 35 for the license. 15 for the application. So you're close to 300, 250, something like that at the end of the day.

I don't know. Is it worth it? Yeah, I'm not sure. You know what? I would like to go with something. We worked with a guy who was a big hunter. Yes. And I always had like Venice. He basically spent every spring and summer eating like venison lasagna, venison jerky, venison pepperettes,

venison ice cream. Like you name, like whatever he's got, he's rubbing. He's fucking moisturizing with venison oil. Like he's just eating deer all the. fucking time and i gotta say i like that stuff it's people say it's gamey but i really like it i knew somebody that had very huge backyard and it had these um metal like it was just like you could slide through it like if you're like very very skinny but um just a massive fence around his backyard and a deer tried to go through it and got stuck so he was what the fuck to do

he called the cops yeah a bunch of cops came out a bunch of cops came out a bunch because they all wanted to kill and eat it. Wow. This is in 416, by the way. It's not like you're in the fucking bush. We got to get an idea on this hunter, by the way. I feel like there's a, I feel like there's a Brampton Man story brewing here.

You know, it doesn't kind of feel like that. The hunting gun, it's probably not even, you know. I get it, I get it. But it just says Southern Ontario, dude. Yeah. They can't, they can't say the B-Warden News anymore. Yeah. So on the topic of food, let's talk about this report from the food price report.

And it's projecting an average family of four in Canada will pay an estimated $994 next year for food in 2020. We'll call it even $1,000, it's $6 off. And they're blaming it on tariffs, climate change. And they didn't say market conditions, but I would suggest we throw that in for a bonus as well. Yeah. In Canada. So they, remember this, this is, they're estimating $1,000 more in food in next year. In Canada, the medium family income before tax was $98,000.

That's in 2021. So I don't have anything. Let's say it's $110,000. We'll just project it there. So say it's $110,000, right? If you do the math, an extra $1,000 for this family means they have to earn gross around $1,800 because $18.00 will turn to both. So that's how much they have to earn extra. And that's on top of that, they have to deal with higher cost of mortgages or rent, higher cost in fuel,

higher cost of clothing, higher cost of everything else. And you can't skimp on the food. I mean, you can to a point, but now you have to pay more for everything. People are going to have less and less money to spend every year. I did some math here. So the food price increase is estimated to be 4% and 6% next year by Canada. and I try to compare to other G7 nations and see how Canada ranks

in comparison to another one. So next year, the UK is supposed to get 3.3 to 4.4%. So that's less than Canada. Italy, 2 to 3%. That's half the price that Canada is expecting. United States, 2.7%. Germany, 2.6%. Japan, 1.5 to 2%.

France, the lowest, 1.6 to 1.7%. Canada is the highest. In some cases, more, almost four times higher than others, like France, for instance. That is interesting because the story is, I don't have anything to define it, to say this for sure. The story is Carney said that he should be judged in the price of the food. I can't find anywhere that said that he said that. He did say it or the liberal said it as part of the platform. Did they?

I tried looking for a quote from him. I could not find it. The conservatives keep saying this over and over again. I know the guy doesn't buy strawberries, at least not by himself. But at the very least, the food prices, they are going up, are faster in Canada than any other G7 nation. They're all suffering the same market conditions, climate change, maybe not tariffs. What's wrong here? Do you know what the worst part about this is that the prices are going through the roof at the same time that oil is at a low?

So the fuel... Exactly. The fuel costs are... are at, like, not historic lows, obviously, but like decade-long lows? Yeah, you can't hide that. What's going to happen when oil catches up to the rest of the market? You know, there is an urgency here to get, to keep that oil price low. And I think a lot of people are kind of missing that, right?

They read these stories and they go, oh, my God, it's climate change, it's this and that. All I can make is you have no idea how bad it's going to get if the oil price goes up. trucks, trucks are not abandoning oil anytime soon. Heather Exeter Piro, you know, she's been on this show. We talked about it a bit and we talked about it other places too. And actually she'll be speaking at Mike's World Outlook Conference, the one that I'm also speaking at in February. You know, there's a lot of smart people who are saying the same things.

And I just, I find it so, it's like almost cringe and embarrassing that these university think tank projects keep coming up with the same reasons, climate change, and fucking tariffs. Like, you have to stop doing this. No one takes us seriously as it is. Everyone can see that the tariffs are causing us grief, but you have to talk about the real cause of some of these problems. And some of the problems are that, for example, we still tax carbon in producers for stuff

like packaging. We still have problems with interprovincial trade barriers that have not been removed. You know, that was supposed to be a 60-day project. you recall from the the Kearney government. They haven't even touched it. These are obvious issues that are causing prices to go up. And here we're talking about the weather again. Like, okay, man.

Sure. No problem. You know, if it rains a little too much, the price of your tomato is going to be more expensive. Yeah. Yeah. It's all relative. Yeah, P-Man in the chat. At least it didn't blame COVID.

Not yet. But pretty, you know, the next report, who knows what it'll say. Who knows? Could be the LMIAs that aren't here. So not only is the fuel the cheapest it's been in a decade, but the fucking labor is free, and they still, oh my God, like you have no idea what's coming. You have no idea. Well, we could look at the stats, and Canada's labor market, they came out with showing that there was a net gain of almost 54,000 jobs in the month of November. And they say unemployment rate fell to 6.5%.

and I just came across my feet. I wasn't searching it, but God, what's her name? Just going to check it out, sorry. Jolie, Melanie Jolie. She tweeted out that Canada's economy keeps moving forward. In November, we added 54,000 jobs. This is proof that Canadian workers and industries are driving growth and resilience. That's one quote.

I'm sure all the other, her colleagues are doing the same thing. you got to do some digging into this so 54,000 jobs were created and I tried digging and you have to go deep into this joy because if you just try to look at job report November and you go through the CTVs you go to the CBCs

shit like that global all you get is yeah the 53,000 jobs created you got to fucking go like to the Reuters like this you got to go to like the nitty gritty here and it shows yeah part-time jobs went up 63,000 all-time jobs went down by 9,000 And this is part of industries and Canadian workers that is driving growth and resilience, according to our esteemed minister.

I don't know, man. You can't look at part-time jobs and seeing a large amount of part-time jobs. A decent amount of full-time jobs being lost and saying, yeah, this is a measure of success that is going to sustain Canada for decades or if not centuries to come. Centuries. No fucking way, man. We just subsidized, we just subsidized Nokia, right? I think we talked about this last week. I'm pretty sure.

No, do we? I thought we did. So we can talk about it. I can't believe Nokia is going to put it in here, right? Anytime you see jobs added, pretend that the jobs that were added actually just come from what's basically a government bribe, right? You're paying for the land. You're paying, like, whatever we're doing to entice these companies to come here, we're paying for the labor. Like, that's, that's not a real market.

job, okay? Market one like victory, not market one like the number. It's not a real market one job. Number two is that even the part-time jobs that we gained are also subsidized by government. Seasonal work increasingly is being done by foreign workers. LMIAs, I know people say they're down. They're not really down the way that they need to be. And so what percentage of those jobs are actually being subsidized by tax money? I would say it's a large number. That's my guess. Then on top of that, we talked about before how, you know, a week or two after the data comes out, you usually see some more deep dives about how many of those part-time jobs are second jobs. How many those part-time jobs are from pensioners? How many those part-time

jobs are from people who are working below the poverty line or whatever? The answer is always exactly what you think. The numbers don't tell the full story. And what do they say, Len? There's lies. There's damn lies. And there's statistics. And when you see numbers like this, there's a reason they only give you the baseline and the sort of top level stuff. And they don't go into details on the nature of the numbers, the nature of the growth or shrinkage, I should say. You know, and this is some Cassanza level shrinkage we're seeing here. It's not a mystery to anybody. This is, by the way, at the same time when, again, people are paying $1,000 more for food.

They're paying more for gas. They're paying more for child care. They're paying more for health care and getting less on every single front. I'm honestly starting to think that we're actually like, you know, who is that had the analogy of the roadrunner running off the cliff and his feet are still moving, right? Somebody had that analogy. I forget who. We are for sure in that position here in Canada.

Like the recession is here and it's just like a phantom smoke screen every time you turn on the TV. Things are great. You go to QP and prime minister saying it's the strongest Canadian economy has ever been. And it's just like, where's the data that backs that up? Where's the data? Stalantis, there was good jobs here coming through the Stalantis agreement. They bolted on it. No showed all the hearings.

They're never going to be back in Canada. And a week later, buddy is standing next to Trump and the Oval Office shaking his hand. They're making a multi-billion dollar investment in the United States. Like at some point, even the most Argent anti-Trumper, the most the most stricken with TDS boomer, has to admit that we are outgunned and now, I think, also outwitted by the Trump administration. There's really no other way to frame what's going on. They're giving out checks to people on the back of the tariffs. Now, you could say the tariffs are your money anyway, blah, blah, blah, fine.

How is it any different for what we do here? My tax refund. Is my tax refund going to be $5,000 a person on the back of some witty trade policy? Not as far as I can tell. I'm looking in the middle. Check number of $5,000. Yeah, the carbon rebate. I don't even get that.

I don't even get it. I don't get any of the shit. My wife just told me that a few months ago, they even cut off her baby bonus. And I'm like, I thought everybody got the baby bonus. Apparently, you don't even get that. Like, what, I'm paying all this money. I'm getting nothing back, nothing, including jobs. Al-Goma is another one.

Al-Goma is another one. That's right. That's right. They're, they're arc-melting stuff. Like, that's a dead, this, this, like, green initiative of arc melting. It's a dead project. It's a dead project, man. Like, if you don't have a market one initiative, then you, you are subsidizing it.

And if you are subsidizing it and it fails, it's like, it's like a kick in the teeth and then a kick in the dick on top of it. Like you gave the tax money. They told you it was a market one job. And then you lose the productivity and your GDP per capita goes even further down. How do you put up with this? Like, what's going on, man? It baffles me. I can't wait for Christmas because I have a list of tweets saved with some really good data that I'm just going to just unload on people.

I'll probably have like 20 beers and just absolutely go tits to the wall on telling people how stupid they are. I think it's time. How do you keep saying it? Everything's good. We're good over here. It's fantastic. Well, they did have the agreement with Canadian government and province of Alberta for the MOU. unless they get the people out wet

I said I did a sip and rip on this I don't think the MOU gets signed I think it's politically convenient for both Smith and Carney to sign it but I don't think that there's anything else to it I think it's a dead in the water kind of thing oh Lens gone where do you go his computer shut off I did the sipping rip on the the Daniel Smith

and Carney MOU because I see that that MOU is like obviously not a sort of front, but it's like they know that they both win politically by having that sign. Carney can say he stood up to the separatist movement. Danielle Smith can say that she's getting some support from Ottawa. And at the end of the day, they can both just blame David Eby for it not happening, even though nothing ever happened with the MOU. So I don't know.

I personally don't think that's like a big deal. But anyway. Somebody's going to make some good money off that. Who? Who? I don't want to. Aboriginals, maybe. I don't want to say

who. Here we go. I think we could do one more story and then go to the Hamilton Britsman. This is from the Ottawa Police and Ottawa Police warn of transnational

theft groups that are operating across Canada. And they're alerting residents that South American theft groups. They actually have an acronym SATGs, SATGs, SETGs. SETs? South American theft groups.

Wow, wow. So they actually have an acronym. How many documents have to mention South American theft groups before they get an acronym? It's dozens of documents have to mention them internally. So anyways, these guys are organizing quote unquote

crime tourist crews and they've entered Canada legally for short periods to commit coordinated residential and retail break-ins and they've been active in Ottawa, Quebec, British Columbia, and they say that there has been recent investigations and the rest in

Ottawa, the GTA, Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary that links numerous high value break-ins to SAT-G-style operations and stuff like jewelry, luxury, luxury watches, cash, designer goods, and small safes were stolen from these places. And their shift, often shipped abroad or resold quickly. And they say they're targeting homes in the green belts, their parks, unoccupied homes. When people leave for some periods of time, they go through the back, forcing that way into. the homes and they say prevention lock all doors and windows use CCTV or doorbell cameras avoid posting travel plans and also report suspicious people in the neighborhood they say nothing about complying or leaving the keys of the front so at least they change their tune on that can you even use CCTV anymore like if you have a ring doorbell you can't point it at the

street right so in hamilton you can't i mean i think it's the case in a few other jurisdictions too I've heard some stories from people over the last few months. What are they going to do? Tell you the point somewhere else. It's not legal. It's against the law and we can't use this as evidence. That's all crazy things. People are coming here legally.

We have an immigrant problem. Legal and illegal. The immigrants are a problem. That's just a fact. I don't know if it's one in every thousand or one in every hundred or one and every 500, but at what point do you say, like, the risk is too great. you can't come in. Trump is doing it now next door.

It's, he is and Canada has decided to adjust. I'm not sure if you saw, but they're going to be launching. Yeah, two new permanent residency pathways, and one is going to be for the H-1B holders in the United States as a way to come to Canada. So, yeah, not too bad.

Looking forward to more of that. Century Initiative, just laughing somewhere right now. you know think about people going fighting on foreign soil dying in some cases you kind of protect the way of life and this just comes about it's like it wasn't worth it yeah yeah all right let's go it's transition to the last shall we shall we twan over a 2506 seat is a sponsor of this segment where we discuss with very little tact some cultural differences oftentimes between the hamilton man and the brampton man their methods, their means, and their outcomes.

But you don't have to worry about that. If you have a 256 heat hash heater, you can probably bank on about $90, $100 worth of Bitcoin every month. Can't beat that for a little less hydro. I think I have that backers, actually. It's about 110 in Bitcoin, 90 in hydro. I forget what the numbers are in Ontario. But you're going to come out on top.

And that's in today's prices, today's hash. That KYC free corn, invaluable in the future, as we see here. Len earlier, you might have seen his camera shut off. He surpassed his carbon credits, as someone in the chat said, had to pay his USDT to get back online. If you have KYC free Bitcoin from your miner, you don't have to worry about it. Right now it's like minus 10 outside. My window's open. It's not far from where I am.

I'm warm, man. Things are good in the room. Why? Chris Juan hooked me up with a 256 heat hash heater. So you should be doing the same thing. get one you get 5% off i'm learning today for the first time i think maybe he told us that before i don't know but it's like the trump on that on the tarmac really i'm hearing that for the first time anyway 25060 dot com tell me sent you and uh get some get some money off and get a heater

what are you waiting for man what are you waiting for yeah two short stories they're both real so it's not fabricated but one is two men are facing charges for allegedly fabricating a police report of a carjacking in a quote-unquote complex fraud scheme. And police said this in the report just recently. I already know the answer. We're done here. The police said they received the report of a carjacking

September 18th around 10 p.m. And in the report, the complaint had said that the car was involved in the collision, then approached by two people, one with a handgun who stole the car. Investigators say that the report was totally fabricated. And in the news release, police said that they had charged a 38-year-old man and a 40-year-old man with public mischief

and fraud over $5,000. Story number one. Story number two, a man was taken to a hospital because he shot himself in a leg with a crossbow. But investigators say he wouldn't own up to it. And police say this happened the day before at 10 p.m. And they got a call from a man saying he had been shot in a leg with an arrow. And officers rushed to the scene

but found him, you know, he was very uncooperative, said an email by one of the police. And after investigating, the officer said they were confident that the man actually managed to shoot himself. I don't know how to think that happened. We determined that the author of, he was the author of his own misfortune.

And a 49-year-old man was taken to a hospital with non-threatening injuries. And they cannot say if alcohol was a factor. How do you shoot yourself with a crossbow? Either way, those are the two stories. Okay, first guy's Brampton man, for sure. And the second guy, the second guy is interesting. I mean, who, maybe a family member shot him?

How do you shoot yourself? With a crossbow. Isn't it big? Like, you can't like turn it. I mean, you like stick your leg out maybe and like shoot. Is that how they did it? I don't know. I don't say, but it's happened in Main Street East and Hofton Avenue North near

Kenilworth. In Hamilton? Yeah. Wow. that's a hamilton man right downtown though yeah i was i was happy expecting you to say that it happened in caledonia where there's some um there's some reserves out there yeah you know i don't think i've ever done a caledonian story maybe i'll have to dig caledony man well you got to go to caledonia special police forces or whatever because i don't yeah see but hamilton at least it's like

ancaster and it's like shit like that right yeah i don't know what else but like hamilton has uh stony creek dundas Stony Creek, yeah. There's a few, you know, sub-jurisdictions, whatever on the, on the fringes there. They call Stony Creek Tony Creek because it's all Italians. Did you know that? I do know that. Yeah. They got a good Costco over there. They do. Yeah, they do. People like that one. Yeah. That's the best I've been to. That's it, Joey. I'm not going to shoot myself in a foot. Great show. We've already shot ourselves on the foot and out tonight. Come back Wednesday, Twan and Land, it sounds like.

7 o'clock Eastern I can see in our group chat here the latest on home mining upgrades and what's going on in that space. Until then, my friends, take care yourselves. We'll see you then. And kill a moose. Wow.
