Whether your a pleb, business, newcomer or OG, the Canadian Bitcoin Conference wants to see you in Montreal, October 16-18 2025. Don't miss this one!

great job uh not a lot of notable stories are you did you see this Tylenol thing from rfk the uh yeah no i sorry now i putting this thing together yeah so there's a study i guess that came out they say that Tylenol is causing autism in mothers that are taking it while the baby is in vitro so the baby is getting it through the mother and there's some people in the replies saying Tylenol also is administered frequently for babies who are in pain after vaccines and the Tylenol mixed with the vaccine might cause a problem. I don't know if that's true. I don't know what's true.

I see a lot of people, though, I just want to point out having just had a baby. There's a lot of people in my circles and other circles pointing out that RFK is anti-vax, is anti-science, anti-this, anti-di-d wants to take vaccines off the schedule. Do you know how many vaccines babies in the United States get between birth and 18 years old? 7. 80. Do you know how many they get in Canada between birth and 18 years? old? Pev? 20. So for people who, like, even if you don't want any vaccines, fine. Like,

this is a Bitcoin podcast. God knows there's a lot of people out there with a lot of different views on this stuff. I'm fine with that. But to say that this guy is anti-vaccine, when really he wants to reduce the schedule and the states is something that's closer to us or European countries or Japan, like, it's just not true. And this is a, I think for a lot of people, this is an easy way to open the conversation up to the media saying this stuff is lying to you. They're funded by pharma. The politicians saying this stuff is bad for health care are lying to you. They're funded by pharma.

And once you can get in the door that way and say, look, our vaccine schedule is 20. There's is 80. Like one of us is wrong. It's a different conversation and one that's a little bit more palatable, I think, for people who are still in the waking up phase, let's call it. Did we submit our paperwork to get an H1B guy to help us out? I didn't. I went to LMIA.com and put in a request there. We're going to be paying $36 an hour for a TikTok maker.

He'll be doing our TikTok reels. Yeah, yeah. He'll be kicking back $35.50 an hour of that to me. And he'll be living in my car. But we'll have the TikToks made and he can hang out in Canada. That whole H1B stuff was interesting to see how it played out in this age. It's correctly, it is a policy that correctly applied. would have a perfect

a perfect incentive outcome. If you need the person, pay the fee. And that person, presumably if you can't get them in Canada or can't get them in the United States, I should say, is someone that's so high value

that that $100,000 is peanuts. But obviously, Len, there was a huge fight and a fuss and all this other stuff. And why? Because everyone knows it's just a scam. Did they rescind this? This was an executive order.

Yeah, Yeah, so they originally, I think the reporting I saw on this was that it was going to be a yearly. Yeah, yearly. And now it's, I think, just one time. And there's also streams, professional streams that are exempted. So doctors, for example, could be exempted. Certain companies, certain, what's the word, I guess, like silos that are deemed important to U.S. supremacy could be exempted to. I don't know. Like everything else, it's ongoing. This administration for all its strengths and weaknesses, is the one thing that's consistent is they do policy by trial balloon a lot of the time. And this is another example of that. Canada is going to be the beneficiary of this and the fact that there's going to be more...

Beneficiary. Is that the word you would use? Yeah. I don't know if I'd use that word. I got to tell you. I'm not sure I'd use that word for that. We're just going to be a bigger pool that's going to be available to draw. Willing people that want to come here. That's one way to put it. Yeah. I don't know. Again, the beneficiary thing is like it's questionable to me. I don't know if I agree. But you know what? I think a lot of people now, at the very least, the conversation around this stuff has opened up in a way that just a year ago, you would never have been able to talk about. It's everywhere. It's in Europe. It's in

the States. It's here, obviously. Let's keep it going. I want to see more and more people talk about this because it's clearly an issue. It's a cultural issue. It's an issue as Ben Rabadu points out that there's, you know, 500,000 more, you know, males in some of these countries that we're getting people from. So we're not getting any females. And it's causing demographic issues here, demographic issues in other places. It's all bad. It's a conversation that, you know, you wouldn't have had if it wasn't, oh, look what the orange man's trying to do, you know, like we got, we got some opportunities here because everyone is, you know, everything this guy does is a powder keg. So let's not waste it. Let's take advantage and get the conversation going.

well in Canada I think it's been a while before we get that conversation going because we had people shooting on beaches nobody really did much about that people tossing garbage into pristine waters and northern or central Ontario nobody's done anything about that you go to any fast food place and it's just dominated by one group of people and nobody's saying anything about that so it's going to probably nobody's going to be saying about this for some time if you recall too not too long ago mark carney was saying that the top two things that businesses at least in Quebec are looking at is Number one being tariffs, the second being they need more temporary foreign workers. So the fact that they looks like they still want to continue that. And it's something that he said out loud. It's not something that, you know, we're reading between the lines. I'm almost saying it verbatim what he said. He's the guy in charge, right? I don't doubt that businesses want foreign labor.

I doubt that that's a business model that we should be rewarding. That's all. Yeah. That's a very good point. But he didn't go out there and say, look, we're going to do some analysis here. no obviously not it was just nothing to gain from analyzing anything it doesn't have anything to gain from that well see what happened with the federal reserve when they dropped the rates 25 basis points yeah and the the long end bond going the wrong direction were they expecting a bigger cut

was that the expectation a dot plot okay so the statement of economic projections or survey of economic projections i think it's called the sEP the dot plot is all over the place. And this new guy that got in there, the Trump appointee who still works to the White House, his name escapes me, Myron or something like that. He's calling, like he's on TV calling for 50 point cuts. The dot plot now is mixed.

There's people calling for two cuts, one cut, no cuts. The average, I think, is two cuts before the end of the year. They have two meetings left and there's 50 basis points to go and the projections. Are they going to do two cuts? Yeah, I think they will. And I think the problem, then, is that the reason the long end goes up is because the currency is going to be weak and the printing is going to be extreme. And you're going to see that here, too. I just had a conversation last week with a fellow at RBC. I was renewing my mortgage. And finally, a competent guy here in Dundas. I won't say his name. But if you're looking to renew your mortgage in Dundas for the surrounding area, I'll put you in touch with them. We were talking about rates and the sort of economy broadly and all these different things about, you know, how people don't really understand the short end impact and the long end impact on something like mortgage rates and how, for example, here in Canada, because the budget's coming out in about a month,

you're going to have people who are less confident in the Canadian economy going forward, the Canadian dollar going forward. And so what does that do? It drives the long end of the curve up. And when the long end of the curve goes up, it has an impact on stuff like mortgage rates, has an impact on stuff like foreign investment, has an impact on all sorts of things. things. And I don't think a lot of people realize that, but soon people will start to have no choice but to pay attention, much the same way as most people now know that there was a rate cut last week in the States and in Canada. The next level up from that is, okay, what does the rate cut do to my mortgage? It doesn't necessarily mean my mortgage comes down. What it does

is weaken the economy or the economic outlook, and that in turn drives the long end up, and that could impact my mortgage in a way that I don't like. In a way, it's not favorable. It might raise the rate. So interesting stuff, man. There's a lot of stuff going on with with rates in the states. The lesson, though, is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics was wrong about the data. And Powell was late to cut. And I think his words during the press conference last week, not outright saying it, but basically saying like, look, there's a lot of stuff now. There's risk going both ways. And we have to be careful with what we do. And so they're leaning toward careful and not leaning toward restrictive anymore.

That's a significant C change in the way that they're setting policy. So all that to say, let's wait for next month when they cut again and we'll do the same segment a second time with probably close to the exact same dialogue. And Canada cut. There's 25 basis point in the very same day. Yeah. Yeah. So that was kind of hidden in all this.

But Canada's done a number of different cuts since the Fed lasted. We were on hold. We were on hold for a few months. We were on hold for a few months. But even with that, we've still done far more cuts than the Federal Reserve. I think it's, 2024 was the last time the Fed did it. And we've done a few in 2025. So I just renewed my mortgage the week after that cut.

Like I said, I got five-year variable at 37. And I think that's going to be by the end of the next year, 3.2, probably, 3.1, something like that, if I had to guess. Yeah, I mean It looks like we're in a situation that Tom Carrads has talked about a lot Is there in a situation where they're cutting rates? Inflation is kind of going up At least the United States

Yeah, exactly Because you know the United States The inflation has been going up since April 2025 Very slightly But it kind of Bottomed out in April 2025 And now we have several months of it going up And now is starting cut rates in the United States and Canada

you know, everyone is looking at the price of beef and shit like that. It's gone up significantly, and they're also cutting rates here. So now they're borrowing, cutting rates, inflation is going out. Tom Coradz has talked about this at least a couple of years ago that we would be in a situation like this. And here we are, and interesting to see. And one thing I forgot to mention, too, we were talking about the LMIAs and H-1Bs. There was a few interesting LMIAs that were posted out there.

It was noted on X. By Michelle Rumpel Garner or somewhere else? Somewhere else. And this was a line cook for Toronto's, sorry, Toronto, Cassie's dog spa located in Sarnia. Wait a minute. You say line cook? Yeah.

There's also the Fifi's dog parlor located in, they're looking for line cooks over there. And also they're looking one, a line cook, Noah's, Ark. pet boarding that's located in Tilsonburg. And somebody took a picture of the Feefe's dog parlor

and it was a Google Streets view picture and you look inside and there is no area for a fucking line cook in there. It's what you expect a dog parlor to be anything but like what else could you do? You know it's not many ways you can work a line cook into it like anything

that's nuts. So this is that's you know potentially scammed here. They're frauds. Of course they're fraud. I'm being careful with my words here. It's obvious. These people are just

lying all the fucking time. Or like this lady, this poor lady in Waterloo who posted this picture of a guy in a turban who's like stealing eggs from her and she's like, does anyone know this man? He was shopping with us and forgot to pay. Like if you know him, just tell them to come back and pay. Like lady, the high trust society

you thought you lived in has completely be eroded and now people are stealing your eggs and then throwing the rappers on the side of the highway throwing the curtains on the side of the highway like okay man okay it's all good LMIAs for line cooks at dog parks and parlors and guys stealing eggs and on and on we go you ever take your dog for a grooming yeah did they have any line cooks they don't you see like no one's cooking no one's cooking at the parlor i want the Swedish meatballs on a sausage. Oh, by the way, do you mind

you're shaving my dog down to the skin? Thank you very much. And those are the two things you kind of don't want in the same venue as well. God. Right?

Anyways. Via rail. Yeah. This is a great story. Fantastic story. It could find by you. No, somebody posted it

Franco-nomics. Franco-Therzano. He's the Canadian taxpayer federation lead dog. I want to get him on the podcast. Also, I think he benches more than me, which is another reason I want to get him on the podcast. It looks like he's not missing

many meals that kid. So, ViaRail is a Canadian Crown Corp. Right. Okay. Nothing crazy about that. There's quite a few of them out there. Very normal. Apparently they distributed $11.4 million in bonuses in the fiscal

year 2020, 2023, 2024. That's the last information apparently that's available. $1.1 million was paid to 11 executives. Averaging over $100,000 per person and $10.2 million was paid to 748 employees below the executive level. It was reported that they have an operating loss of $381 million in that same fiscal year and still they're giving out these bonuses. Furthermore, they received $773 million in taxpayer subsidies in 2023.

That was a 15% increase. Is that a lot? Can we get a comment here? That's not a lot. Seems like it might be a lot. they have not made a profit since 2017 and in

2023 by the way remember I mentioned they gave about 11.4 million in bonuses that year 40% of via rail trains were late in 2023 so what's the metric one would say of success for trains for me

would be being full and on time but barring being full on time would be it right I'm not on time operator just be on time

So, anyway, so that's just Is there a lot of traffic on train tracks? Is that like the problem? They said no. Can they get the 407 to be like to regain? That is an issue in some areas because Canada, CN Rail owns like certain track. But from what these late trains, apparently that was not the case. So it wasn't due to tracks being used or something else.

Anyways, there's also another one. The Canada Infrastructure Bank CIB. That's another Canadian corporation. Crown Corporation, and this is a beauty story. This was established to attract private investment for Canadian infrastructure projects. And they reportedly paid out $8 million in bonuses to employees in the fiscal year 2022, 2022, 23. The parliamentary budget officer reported that the CIB has dispersed only a fraction of its

total $35 billion budget and has completed a limited number of projects since insin-sum-7. The CIB has spent more in salaries and bonuses than an actual infrastructure development in some years. Interesting. That's what we're at. I have nothing to add. I'm just talking to be in. That is the norm for these kinds of programs.

Is it not? Hey, man. That's what we see this. We see this constantly. We see it constantly. Like, he would have been better off doing whatever modular homes, you know, would have a better output, a better ROI.

I like that photo op by Carney walking up the stairs I didn't see it No Yeah so they I saw meeting a pastry today with somebody But didn't see him walking up the stairs Was it in Hamilton?

No he's like He's a gallivanting He's at Have you seen this picture I gotta find it This is gonna get us in trouble But whatever it's so funny No I'm just curious

If it's been posted by like This CBC or something Oh then what could you say Like, this is straightly from the stores. I mean, it's funny because I keep on getting told that, like, we're finding new trade partners, but, uh, I got to find here it is. Okay. This is too much for me. I got to be honest with you.

Um, he's in some, I guess some African country. I don't know exactly which country, but, uh, he's meeting with someone who's name I can't pronounce and we'll never learn because I don't need to. And in this photo, he is. He is at a conference table. And the quote is today president Natumbo Nandi, Nadwita, and I discussed how Canada and Namibia can deepen our partnership and empower workers by creating more opportunities for trade and investment in both our nations. The double dash, by the way, and empower workers by creating more opportunities for trade.

Do you know what percentage of our GDP trades with Namibia? percentage I'll say 0.05 And you know what I get the feeling Namibia doesn't do

many of these conferences because as you can see here this is not a conference table it's a number of other tables

just slammed together with a two flags that they got off Amazon does no one else think this is completely insane what like

what is the point of doing this we look so weak and weird doing stuff like that that country's not fit for modern economies

like modern economic partnerships clearly why I don't know much about Nibibibibia I can't say anything you don't need to know much else look at the picture I know I'm just going to remain silent on this okay I knew it see I told you

I don't know I can't speak with confidence on this one so I to be perfectly call it a vibe I can't even point to it on a map perfect that's what I'm starting from and I like geography and I you know

I could point to a lot of countries in them out. But that I have no fucking clue. I was almost going to put in my tag today instead of autistic from Thailand, I'll trade envoy to Namibia, but I decided not to. I should have. You know, the thing, we should have sent our governor general, Mary Simon, there. Right? She would have been.

That would have been an expensive trip. She spends $1,100 on shoes I read. So I just want to point out, you know, like, I don't know what type of shoes you get for $1,100. Right? But I'm going to show you what. a bitcoiner and I'm not this is what happened to me last week at work joy and this is no

fucking joke ladies and gentlemen I was walking to the washroom I had to go to the washroom and I was like something's wrong my foot right and I look down in my fucking shoe this is right see this is the shoe of a fucking bitcoiner I'm not

getting $1,100 shoes for a reason because I don't have an unlimited amount of money I don't know like to you have any money at all I mean, I see better shoes and that like I can't literally know. This is like

I'm not trying to say this is I'm not bullshitting here like I had to go to my car and I fucking I'm shocked I even had golf shoes in my fucking trunk and I just wore to golf shoes instead instead of this

is I had to wear something You were wearing your clickers around the lab? Really? I had to. So I had to wear this. So anyways so that's what I'm trying to point at there's a difference between fiat and bitcoin i don't have the ability to go to somebody i need more

i can't submit expenses like i i have a limited budget and i i try to respect what i earn and i'm trying to save for the future as you could tell fuck you look at my car you look at my shoes others they there's seems like there's not the same thing i'm not the perception is like it's pathetic and i'm too bad it is like this but it's just when i read this story And when this happened to my shoe, it's just like, man, this is like, it was meant to be. Can't win them all. Can't win them all. I don't fucking any of them.

So there you go. Yeah, I don't know. That's funny. And that's nice visual aid there. For people who are on audio only, the bottom of lens shoes like quite literally falling off. He's still wearing it. If anyone used to watch Married with Children back in the day, when Al Bundy showed to Bubba Smith, his best, best pair of socks. That's really the only way

I can attribute it to. When the first Bubba Smith shows, it's got like a tiny hole in Bundy shows. Yeah, I take a gander of my best pair socks. There's one strand of string, the fucking bottom holding it together. Love that show back in a day. Great show. Great stuff.

But yeah. I got to, you know, I'm not going to do this every week, but it just so happened. Maybe we should do this segment of the show that knew when I came up with. What the fuck did I spend my money on. That was from two whites in a blue. I used to open every two whites

in the blue episode with what did you spend your money on last week. No, but it's what I spent. Not just you, me, everybody. This is the grants and contribution stuff from the government of Canada. I got full duties here. I love this stuff. So we got number one.

The value in this one is 279, it's almost $28,000. And it's unlocking value for peasants through tomatoes. an outgrower but it's not just it's in fucking Zimbabwe man

they're doing this in Zimbabwe they're a key trade partner that sure are so they're trying to make it better over there to do shit with tomatoes to unlock the values so farmers could

I love it that's $20,000 $28,000 for that manga right there that's number one I got four of them in total second I got the the natural nature positive food systems for climate change adaption. 35 million dollars. This is over a three year period of time.

35 million over three years. And the project aims to improve low carbon climate resilient economies in rural areas of Ethiopia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe again and enhanced well-being and communities, especially women, girls, and other vulnerable groups. 35 million over three years. I can't. Climate change adaption. I can't do it. beautiful. I can't do that. So number three, what the fuck did I spend my money on?

We have $68 million. The impact of gender role conflict in the relationship between internalized heterosexualism and unprotected anal intercourse amongst the men testing a moderate effect. So I'm going to repeat this. $68,000, the impact of gender role conflict on the relationship. 68,000 or 68 million? 68,000. Oh, thank God. The impact of gender role conflict in the relationship between internalized heterosexualism and unprotected anal intercourse amongst a man testing and mother.

Sounds like people are internalizing their heterosexualism inside someone else in that study. Could be. You know what? The last one's not loading up. Is it the gender just beans? The gender just beans. It is. I load it up.

Beans for Women of Empowerment. This is the Beans for Women aims to strengthen the gender equality agency in decision-making and resource rights for women and girls active in the bean sector in three conflict-prone provinces in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. And so they have three targets. One is promoting gender equity in beans in bean value change. second is increasing agricultural productivity by disseminating bean research products by users, blah, blah, blah, and third, let's see, reducing the vulnerability of the bean value change by climate change. Love this stuff.

This is $22 million over a span of five years. $22 million. And I just want to point out, when you go to the search. Dot open.coma.com. That's the website. You look at the grants. And this, I'm not fucking kidding. I had to do a double take on this.

At first I got it wrong. Every page you look at has something like five to ten different grants they issue. This is over the past 10, 15 years. It's over a long enough period of time. Nonetheless, you have five to 10 per page. Joey, there's almost 1.1 million pages. Oh, my God. Are you serious?

Yes. I initially I thought this is 108,000. I missed a fucking digit. You missed a million. You missed a million. It's almost 1.1 million of these pages. And each page has like five to ten of these grants that were issued. Some are like a few thousand dollars.

Some are several million. That's what the fuck I spent my money on. There you go. We all spend it like that. We all spent it. That's right. We're all in it together. We're all in it together.

Albows up. Shake pay rewards look like they're coming down. Brutal. Brutal. Show up to Jordan for turning me on to this story. They're pushing the card, right? They're pushing the card and the savings account. and bitcoiners don't care about that shit they don't i barely use my card i use it to keep my shaking

streak going or whatever but that's it if they cut the if they cut the streak or the rewards again like i don't know that i'll keep making an effort to use it honestly i haven't bought for a long time from them they give you about 50 bucks a month if you if you're at the max it's about 48 47 a month whatever it was jean yeah he said it was 48 yeah this is the CEO of shake page John and yeah yeah and yeah so they're going to be doing some changes so the budget which they have allocated towards shaking that's going to be looking like allocated towards something else how much the shaking rewards are going to be reduced by if like it could be the nil it could be something I don't know there's going to be changes moving forward so shakers beware

should just be on bold Bitcoin anyways honestly like why are you buying anywhere else like there's no if you're in Canada especially there's no better place to buy coinbase is not as good Bitcoin well is not as good it's it's this or bust. And I'm not just saying that because they're a sponsor. I'm saying that because if you look at the team and the focus and the unwillingness to do everything from embrace clickbait thumbnails to sell Ethereum, to go public, to placate to shit coiners, these guys have it figured out. And you shouldn't be patronizing companies that are spread too thin and getting thinner. In my view, it's a misallocation of your hard-earned money if you're buying Bitcoin

anywhere else. You can use our code or not use our code. I honestly hope you do, but it's not going to break my heart if you don't. This is the best place for you to buy. No one goes to bull Bitcoin and then says, I'm going to go to a different platform. Just doesn't happen. So I can't stress that enough. You're crazy if you're not using these guys. I forgot to mention for what the fuck we spent their money on the segment i have to be inspired to do it so i don't know if it's going to be a weekly thing if you like it let us know if you don't let us know and uh we'll pivot from there because maybe this be a one and done thing and who to fuck shall we do uh the usual brampton brympton man let's do it sponsored by who else 256 heat one and only so i got a story

so 256 heat sells uh home heaters that also hash heat with hash eat your home get paid to heat your home. Twan's in front of the show. He's been on a few times. And I have a story. He messaged me today directly and said, hey, I noticed that you're hashing at under 20 tarahash the last 24 hours. You might want to check on the minor. Let me know when you have some time, whatever, we'll go through it. I said, how do you know that? He goes, when I sell the miners, I always keep a list of the units, like whatever. You can see all the miners on the network, right? I didn't know that. And he told me that he monitors them so that he can see, problems before the user

sees the problems and help. Now, I just want to interject quickly. You could change that if you wanted to. If you want to be more private. Yeah, yeah, sure. I didn't. Yeah, I didn't do that. So I'm just saying for anybody out there

that's saying, oh, he's going to get access to all the information. No, no, no. You could change it so he doesn't. I am not that, yeah, I'm not that private, nor am I that technical to do that. So he messaged me and said, hey, I can help you with this. So we ended up going through some of the standard troubleshooting stuff. And he was able to remedy the situation for me in like 15 minutes. Outstanding. Outstanding. You're not going to find someone who's as sharp and willing to help as Twan anywhere else.

And so if you haven't thought about this yet, a bunch of you guys have already bought from Twan. I want to hear stories about how you like the heaters. You should be buying leading into the winter because it's going to be hard to get these things. You get a 5% discount now if you're a CBP listener, which is huge. And you're not going to find a better product than this. I'm telling you. We don't just pimp anything that comes our way. I only give our name, our brand, the stuff that I think is going to make a difference for you guys.

And this has been great for me. It's been great for Len. And I know it's going to be great for the people that have bought it since we started using Tuan as a sponsor. So if you haven't done it yet, 256 heat, go and start talking to Tuan about getting something for your house or your garage or your whatever. Because winter's coming, as the saying goes. So the Brampton versus Hamilton Man segment, here we go. You can play along at home and hopefully you'll get to pick the same one to join us. I'm ready.

I'm ready. He's been pretty good. He's only lost one so far. That's right. So first story we have is a man was arrested and charged after failing his driving test and quote unquote, driving erratically, nearly hitting four pedestrians, please say. Officers were called out. to a plaza. That's where police say a 36-year-old man became irate after failing his driving test

and became, he was starting to yell at staff. And then he got into his vehicle, then began speeding through the parking lot, they said. He attempted to drive through a pedestrian walkway, narrowly missing four people. Then it did a number of burnouts in the parking lot, police said. And they said they found a man sitting in the driver's seat of the parking in the parked in the parking lot in his vehicle. And the man was arrested in charge with dangerous driving and done driving. He's been banned for driving for 30 days and his vehicle impounded for 14 days scheduled to appear in court to deal with these charges. That's man number one. Man number two, someone was driving down the highway and he spotted something odd. He noticed that a person was

rollerblading on the highway. This is going to be a hard one. While two police vehicles follow them. So one passerby said, I thought it was pretty crazy. She recorded the video roughly a minute long and said she was stuck in the highway for roughly five minutes. You can see in a video where he's rollerblading backwards and flipping off the cops. The picture's funny, by the way. He did cross the lane into the other side where incoming traffic was,

but then he hopped back into the lanes we were on. Interesting enough, police told CBC, no charges were laid. The individual is located and educated on safe practices while rollerbladed, and police reminded the public to safely use roadways as the weather gets warmer and people enjoy different outdoor activities

we got the guy rollerblading on the highway versus the guy that failed his driving test and I don't know how he did this but he got in his car and drove away and almost was illegally

or illegally because he filled his driving test We got to figure his G test so he probably had his G2 license I maybe I did not say I would just found that part odd that he got in his car drove away and nearly hit somebody, did some burnouts in a parking lot.

Okay. I'm having a hard time with this one because normally our friends from India are sort of culprits in this kind of story. It's the traffic stuff. It's going to go in the wrong way. But I'm going to say that I've not ever seen a Brampton man rollerblading. So I'm going to go with the driver's license guy

as the Brampton Man and the rollerbladers somewhere else, Hamilton Man. It's a very good detective work by you. You are honest and correct. So yeah, so we do have that. Now, the guy that was riding on the highway, he was doing it on the link. The Lincoln and Hamilton. Wow. Holy. That's great.

When was that? In 2023 April. Nice. Okay. And here's the story. I'll just post it here. You can take a look at it and you can see the, yeah, there, there. You can see the very first picture he's giving the double finger.

I'm going to pull it up right now for the chat. Here we go. Oh, hell, yeah. That's so great. I love it. I think that's fantastic. I'm going to put it on the screen here for people who are looking at the video. This is great stuff.

I love that. What a shot. What a shot. He's rollerblading backwards. He's pretty adept. Like, I mean, that's not easy to do. He just does not give her shit. Yeah, good for him.

Like that. So I hope you enjoyed this Hamilton versus Brampton Man segment brought to you by 256. heat.com. Check them out, heat your homes, and laugh at these stories at the same time. It's all good. Let's get out of here. Thanks for listening and watching, everybody. I'll be back on Wednesday with Mo and Brian Day.

And Friday, we'll record with Mark, as I said before. And that'll come out next week. But until we talk to you next, take care of yourselves. And don't be a Brampton, man.
