Yeah, yeah. There's no fucking free right. That's the reality. It's true. It is true. There's always a risk. The risks are everywhere. You got to know them.

Dave Radley said it best at the conference, I think, that the problem with treasury companies compared to Bitcoin on the risk side is that the risks in Bitcoin are very clear and the scope of the risks is narrowing. When you look at a company like MSTR, because of the way they're building this, you know... debt curve, let's say, you know, pretty generously, the scope of the risks is not only expanding, broadening, but also the difficulty that the average person has an understanding these things is broadening. And you're finding yourself sort of compounding your deficit in terms of

understanding because of the difficulty around some of these vehicles. So like when you're talking about preferreds and you're talking about capital stack and you're talking about, you know, repayment hierarchy and all these things, this is hard for the average person to know. But you know it's not hard fixed supply self-custody like it's just where most people belong you know and i think everyone gets there either by hook or by brook um in time so i'm not worried about it makes much sense like i'm a total dumbass when it comes to those fiat terms you're mentioning but i could grasp relatively simply fix supply yeah it just there's a reason people call us retards right i mean it's kind of a term vendierman yeah i'm proud to be one

Proud to be one. Powell, prepping the burr looks like. Your own. Cut rates 25 basis points last week. I love it. They're going to do it again in December too. Talking, but who knows? But you know what's interesting is the price of Bitcoin didn't react positively.

Was everybody expecting a bigger cut? I just didn't make sense. Because I think that capital is going to come, not to interrupt you, I thought you were done there. But the reason I think it's not reacting. I don't think it will react until. Q-1-26 or Q2-26 is because it's not like you're unsure of what direction rates are going to go in six months. You know the Powell's out. You know they're going to bring in an ultra-dove as the Fed share. And you know that the neutral rate is going to drop significantly. And so I think

you're going to see a big time rip in equities and risk assets and Bitcoin and everything come Q2, let's say. I think that's probably why. It's predictable what's going to happen next. And so you can hang in till then you're fine you're not selling no I'm not planning on selling no oh okay I just saw the dip I was like what the fuck this is a good time to get out I'm done what did you think down to

we've been over 100K for a long time now when was last time we were 100k a year ago no no it was this year I don't remember I'm gonna okay I don't even want to get well my daughter was born the price was like 72,000 so that was a year ago

so let's you know do the math on that it's it's been over it's been over 100k for like six months probably and from this time a year ago you're still up so april was 75k yeah okay and we got on over july geoma saying july it went up to 100 for the first time and stayed there since so may it crossed may 9th 8 9th is when it and it hasn't gotten below yeah so $100,000 Bitcoin is still a wild thing for me to say it aloud, isn't it? Yeah. But if the price of gold, if we hit 4,400, two weeks ago. Not even, I don't think, but yeah.

Putting things in perspective, 106, it's low, right? It's so much money piled into gold in the past year or so. And it's not like it's thinly traded this thing. it's like a what is it 14 trillion dollar market cap right now 14 it's fucking 35 i think it's a lot gold is 35 trillion yeah pretty sure look that up Jamie pull that up boomer's pointing out that the tariff my bad you're right 27 trillion is i thought it was higher than that this one is 38 trillion so it depends well this thing is so to move that fucking market cap like it's big money that's real that's real inflows yeah yeah and what's the speculation on that

Well, I mean, we talk all the time about a central bank should print and buy Bitcoin. Central banks are actually printing and buying gold. So I don't know, maybe the switch, but that is the admission that the money that they administer is worthless. Administer is a key word there. I'm glad you said that, not just the money they print. It's the money that they are the shepherds of, right? And they are, yeah, they are treating it poorly and they understand how poorly it's being treated. If they don't have confidence in it, why should anybody else?

If I am the CEO of a company, I would talk up that company so much. It's the best company in the world because I believe in it. The moment I stop believing in it and stop talking about it in a positive manner, nobody should be using the products or doing anything with the company that I'm a part of. Makes no sense. It's the same thing with this. When they're exchanging money to buy gold, lots of it, it's a telltale sign. There's a thing to the market.

They don't have confidence They need the money I agree with you I agree with you Granted There may be some validity That they have to have Certain amount of gold

For transactions And they have to have some Foreign currencies Right to do some But there comes a point where it's They're getting excess amount They're just like They're training more

Because they just don't believe In what they have Either way QT looks like It's coming to an end December December 1 in fact It's not looking like It's coming to an end

It's over They're stopping the tightening regime. So, that's why I put in the thumbnail. The printer is warming up. Like, what are we, there's no doubts about this. The best thing about the transparency of the financial market is that even if you don't understand the plumbing, you can see what way the shit is flowing, you know, and it's coming, it's coming your way. You're going to get a nice influx of liquidity here. Repo showing the same thing. Repo is drained. There's an injection coming, okay? And not the one from 2021. It's the one you actually want.

You know, and it's going to, it's going to pump your bags like you wouldn't believe. I got a copy of Larry LaPard's book by me, the big print that I haven't opened yet. And I'm sure that he's going to be pointing to all these things and saying, look, you know, the transparency is your friend here. They're not transparent all the time, but the stuff that they are transparent about is very, very telling. And he was spot on a few years ago at the Bitcoin conference. Him and Greg Voss, right, talking about how he's like, yeah, you know, if you can hang in there, this thing's going to be 100,000 in three years.

Here we are three years later. He's dead on, dead on the money, that guy. we are full of apologists between Carney and other people very very thankful we're a country of apologists but another thing that we didn't talk about this year and I wish we did I fucking missed it and it's a it shows how fucking pathetic things are becoming the penny in the United States

the ended production of in May of this year yeah we talk right and it may not seem like a big thing the fucking penny is it cost about that land I don't think so I thought we did but whatever it may not be seen like a big thing because it costs 3.7 cents

to make a single penny so it's a money losing endeavor but if you look at it from a different point of view it is the smallest unit you could use right gone so it used to be 1-100th

now it's 120th is the smallest unit like we make fun of other countries when they add a zero and shit the $5 million dollar bill yeah yeah this isn't as extreme is that but you know what i mean like you're getting rid of a unit of a county sorry like uh this cheapest coin it's gone the penny yeah one one hundred you can't use it anymore

or you can't get it anymore you just so use it but that's that's a telltale sign that things are going to they are getting bad and it's going to continue to get bad Canada did this 13 years ago by the way yeah in 2012 rounding up all cash purchase the next nickel was uh a hilarious, hilarious sort of under the radar thing for this country that no one really talked about, oh, it's not efficient to produce the penny. Oh, we don't need it anymore. Okay. Let me tell you, right now, let me tell you it looks in 20 years. Not great. Not great. And right now there's no rules in the States about doing the rounding. They're going to, you're trying to get a lot put in place, it looks like, but nothing has been set in stone just yet. And

they'll round it up if you're white round it down if you're minority that's how the liberal states will do it right the Zoran Mamdani roundup rules coming soon to New York City coming tomorrow to New York City

what's interesting is 24 years ago what's interesting is that he was DJing at a gay bar or two in the morning is that what you were going to say did he you could tell me the next day he was at the marathon

that's not an anti-gay comment no no no no It's like this guy This guy is all over the place Even though there's basically zero chance He's going to lose Like that city is going to be handed To a communist

In the next 48 hours It's more than that Joey Yeah Remember If you go back 24 years ago The 2001 Yeah Right

The mentality in New York Was there was angered It was shock People were like What the fuck happened Let's like Let me go look New York

Mayor history. Let's go take a look to see it's probably all Republicans still Giuliani, right? No, no, I'm going to just name some last names. Adams. De Placcio, Bloomberg, Giuliani, Dickens, Koch, Beam, Lindsay, Wagner, O'Dwyer, LaGuardio, Brian, like

Mamdami? Right? Like, 24 years ago. I'm told he's as American as you and you and are Americans as any other American. I don't know. There was, and this is not my word. These are difficult conversations, by the way, that we're no no they're not because it just took a generation to change people's mentality yeah right there was something that started these are not my words they they called it a holy war

that it was done upon america right yeah and upon it they changed the landscape of new york people they fucking jumped out of a burning building they had the choice of either suffocating being burned alive or i'm going to jump out and do like like this is People made hard choices because some fucking assholes, at least that's the story they told us. They used box cutters and shit like that. They found the passports intact at the ground zero. I hate talking about this because it makes me feel like I'm insane,

but the intact passports at the crash site is supposed to be far from me. That's a story they tell us and I'm going to go with it. Some guys in the cave with box cutters that are hidden in their fucking shoes were able to do this. All right, I'm good with that. But, you know, New York, good fucking luck. I'm amazed that people have forgotten a lot of what has happened. Yeah. Well, the problem is that the history, I was listening to Paken today, talking about the sort of way that many Canadians now feel disdain for the country as opposed to being proud of its history.

And the two guys who's talking to wrote a book called Fracture, I think. It's about Canada's breaking point. It sounds like a good book. I might grab it. You know, they point out that like 25% of people under 50 weren't born here now. So it's something they don't know the history. It's that they have no attachment to it. They experience that portion of history on the other side of the coin, right?

And I think in New York, you know, that is a truly global city. And you can say what you want about immigration and the density of certain. ethnic groups, cultural groups, religious groups, whatever, you know, I have my own thoughts about that. But this sort of, you know, bigger picture there is it's become trendy to view anything from the third world conquering something from the first world as a win. That's the new victory for what is a sort of morally defeated demographic in the young people of America. And you see it, you know, I think you see it in the Palestine thing. I think you see it in the way they talk about Trump.

I think you see it in the way they want to bring back communism. And now, of course, you have sort of a perfect poster child, a guy who's from a third world country, follows a third world religion, you know, eats with his hands when the cameras are around and is a, you know, socialist commie. And the ideas that he's proposing are obviously bad, but they're also, they're also intuitively bad for people who are, you know, relatively smart. And so I really do think there's something to this idea that the ultimate goal is just sticking it to the people you think of disadvantage you no matter how much worse it makes things because it will also make it worse for them. And I don't know, good luck to everyone over there. But if I was you guys, like I would be trying to get that Silva guy to give his head a shake, get out of the race, and maybe Cuomo's got a chance. But, you know, right now I think

It's a runaway win. Polymark is showing it is. And if you're going to use that as the barometer of which way things are training, you know, the one thing maybe they should just do to give people, like make them feel better is just issue stamps, right? Just, right? Are we going to talk about the same thing? Should we talk about it?

Do you know how many served in over one? Do you know how many? Len is talking about this thing I found like just before the show. And I'm going to bring it up because I really don't know how else to describe what I'm seeing here. No, no, Joy, you know how many served in World War I? How many? How many what? Seeks, I guess. Seek soldiers, yeah. Ten. Ten. Yeah. I mean, that's alleged to. I think that's an allegation, not a hard and fast truth. And I went further. British sent five million men to war and

India was one of their colonies at the time they sent around 100 to 125,000 Sikhs that's a larger number but still pales in comparison to the 5 million so I have it on the screen for people on audio Canada Post Remembrance Day stamp honors Sikh soldiers and as though to add insult to injury there's a sort of stamp

the stamp is for private Singh it says the Sildas Singh and then it's in what I guess is Hindu Right? Hindi or Punjabi? Third language. Like, I don't know, man. There's a lot of traditions in this country that are very proud.

And I think that there are traditions that certain people really do revel in. One of them is the ferocity that Canadian soldiers were known for in the two great wars. And I don't know, Len, like I went to school in Canada. as I'm Canadian educated. I never heard anything about this growing up. And the idea that we should have a stamp for Sikh soldiers, 10 of them, while current day vets starve in the street

are offered made, et cetera, et cetera, I think is like, it's offensive in a lot of ways. We shouldn't, we just shouldn't be doing it. And I realize people will say, I think the common refrain is going to be Sikhs, And the Indians you're so mad at or who are causing problems in culture, like, these are not the same people. I'm not suggesting that. I have nothing against Sikhs.

I don't care one way or the other about their culture. What I care about is what is obviously a slight to a fierce and steadfast Canadian tradition, one that is one of the only ones we have left in this country in a lot of ways. And this is how you're celebrating Remmer's Day. like take a guess joy how many Chinese served Canada yeah World War I take a take a gas because this is what it is we're talking

God it's got to be a low number less than a thousand yeah it is less than seven they're saying 200 this is according to Veterans Affairs Canada 200 so that's quite a bit more than 10 where's their fucking stamp yeah

good question right I don't my wife's we know, we're kind of laughing about this at dinner. And my wife pointed out that, like, the only way you would ever do this is if you were trying to upset people. And, you know, she's not terminally online the same way we are and certainly does not have the harsh opinions that I do. But for her to say that, I think that's a signpost, you know, like she's just a stay-at-home mom right now. And I showed her that.

And she's going, why do they want to upset people with stuff like this? And it's like, yeah, it's a good question, you know? Why do they choose this stuff over and over again? I'm buying the booklet. I have to get this. Hard not to. Hard not to. Yeah.

And I don't mail a lot of shit out, but I'm going to start mailing stuff out. Yeah. I think it's a, you know, I got to support. You can mail me the stories every week or something just to use the stamps. Bucket A, I'll do that. You get it for after. They're still in rotating strikes, right? Yeah, they are.

Not everywhere. I think I was talking to my good buddy as opposed to he was saying that the more popular routes are the more important routes are basically full service now. What's in that more important route? I don't know. Who knows? Isn't everything fucking important?

Do you want to talk notwithstanding in Alberta? Go ahead. I want to talk about it because I saw a tweet today that I shared and I'm not going to bring it up. You're talking with respect to the teachers, right? Yeah, the teachers were forced back to work by the provincial government there after three weeks of striking and basically no movement in negotiations. The province is correct to force them back. But the teachers union now is really

pulling no punches about the problems they're having. And I heard whispers of this like a week ago. And I know it to be true from talking to teachers. And even here in Hamilton, I have a lot of friends who are teachers who say the same thing. But I've not seen the teachers union adopt this as a negotiating position and tactic. And the tactic I'm talking about specifically is that the Alberta teachers are saying that 31% of their students now need interpreters in the classroom

because they don't speak English. Wow. 31% is a big number. And 31% is a number that will ruin education for 100% of the kids in the classroom setting. Not only that, but there's 34,000 kids in the Alberta school system who have identifiable learning disabilities.

and other special needs. So what does this mean? I'm going to say some things here that are not going to be popular. And they may be rude and ultimately, I think, you know, will probably lose me friends and have me sitting on the outside of a dinner party next time there's an invitation going out. This is a strictly third world immigration problem. Third world immigrants a lot of times do not abort children

that have genetic defaults that will lead to significant, severe, and easily identifiable disabilities. Some of them are brutally difficult to deal with for parents, even more so for teachers and educators, difficult for classroom settings, but because of policy that's been adopted by every province for whatever reason, there's no more special needs classrooms or hallways. Everyone is fully included in the classroom setting, even at the cost of regular learners. Certainly at a greater cost to gifted students, but we won't get into that. These same people, Pakistan, for example, first cousin marriage is not only accepted but encouraged. We have places like the UK talking about the benefits of cousin marriage.

It really strengthens relationship. Other completely insane nonsense that, you know, a few years ago would have been obviously ridiculous. You can't marry your first cousin. You risk retardation and other significant problems in your children. Even if the kids don't show it right away, they will have problems with impulse control. They will have problems with learning. they will have problems with development. They will wind up more likely to be either ward of the state because they're on welfare

or because they're in jail. This is a fact, okay? When you introduce this population into English-speaking schools, what you get is this result where 31% of kids can't speak English, 34,000 of them need IEPs or some other problem with their education resolved, and there's no funding. And the teachers are saying, we are sick of it. We're not going to do this anymore. We're not going to come to school and deal with bronze age languages from people who don't have any interest in learning, parents who cannot participate in the school community, who cannot help us with the stuff they're being taught in school.

Instead, it's an uphill battle. There's religious undertones and fault lines now that are prevalent in that education system and in others in this country and in other places in the world, specifically in Europe. How much longer can we ignore this? How much longer can we pretend that diversity is a strength when it's clearly a weakness? How much longer can we pretend that immigration is a net benefit when it's clearly not? I don't know how much longer we can do it. We're going to try and keep pretending, I guess, for a little longer. But I applaud the Alberta teachers for putting out that data about exactly what the problems are in their schools.

And they're not blaming it entirely on immigrants, but they're giving you, they're leading the horse to water in a way that no professional. union has done yet. And it's just the fact of the matter. These are things that are impossible to argue with. No impartial observer would ever look at a school system like that and say, yeah, I want to send my kid there. And so what I expect to see in the next 10 years, if not sooner, certainly I'll be asking when I decide where to send my daughter to school, how many immigrant families do you have here? How many kids on IEPs? How many kids don't speak English? Do you have classrooms with interpreters? How many kids have learning disabilities? That information should be public because it's my job to make sure that my kid gets the best education.

And you're going to see a flight of quality teachers, quality families, and their quality kids, board to board to certain schools, certain neighborhoods, certain jurisdictions where they don't have to deal with that. And those schools are going to outperform. And the outperformance is going to be so pronounced, Len, that they're going to have to stop reporting test scores. Oh, wait, sorry, they've already done that in a lot of places. They've already eliminated gifted programs.

They've already eliminated, because why? Because it shows something that's intuitive and obvious to everyone who's paying attention. I applaud the teachers for this. I really want to get someone from that teacher's union to come on this show. It'll be next to impossible to do it because of the way we talk about everything. But this is so obvious that it shouldn't need to be said. But there's just so many people out there who don't get it because they're not dealing with it. you're going to start dealing with it now.

Because soon, those people who come through the school system who we can't fail, we can't tell them they're stupid, we can't tell them to stop having sex with their cousins, this will be the person who is responsible for fixing your car, delivering your Amazon, building your bridges. How are those things going to work? This is the real crisis of infrastructure that the first world has to deal with now. And I don't know if there's a fix for it. Correct.

100% there is none. There is none. I guess I've racked my brain. It will take a generation plus of minimum. Minimum. Yeah. And you have to make some really difficult decisions. There will be disasters.

Airplanes, trains. Like, like these things were lie. Yeah. Yeah. Everything from everything from, you know, making sure your, your bread is, uh, the lettuce is laid property to, the landing gear being deployed at the right time

is going to be relying on people who just don't have it. And it's like, it brings me, by the way, it brings me no great pleasure to say this. But the problem is you just keep throwing it at me. And I have no choice but to acknowledge it and say that there's a problem. And at this wedding I was at on the weekend,

I said a couple of things that, you know, after a few beers, you might find you say some things to people you don't really know. And Len, I'll tell you, I didn't get any negative feedback on any of the stuff I said. And some of that was brutal.

but everyone is thinking the same thing they're tired they're tired of it but the you know what i think that the scales have tipped over to you know it's it and it's going like i said to change things it will take a long time of very difficult decisions can i ask you're looking why do you think the scales have tipped it doesn't take it's not like it's a 50% that tips the scales it's you know you're talking just a few percent and that's enough and then it's very difficult to change things when you're looking at the decisions they tend to make and if you look at just simply how they handle with money which should be like a very important it is a very important thing that they should be

dealing with yeah the solution that is normally come up with is let's borrow let's add to the fucking debt let's let the future generations deal with it and that's really how it's going to be for just about everything let's let the future generations deal with it and these four year cycles it doesn't help things out yeah i just want i want to point to two things here boomer is saying that there's like seed oils and vaccines like i just want to point out i have a kid my kid has a regular vaccine schedule like our vaccine schedule in canada is not the vaccine schedule that everyone thinks is harming kids i just want to point that out it's different in the states it's it's much different we talked about on the show in the states a kid between

between zero and 18 years old gets about 80 shots. Here it's about 20. They wait until the kids are a certain weight. They don't distribute the shots the same way. It's not the same thing here as it is there. I want to just point that out. There may be still some worry, but me personally, I look at the risk reward and I know I'll get some shit from a lot of people, but I just didn't think anything of it, to be honest with you. There's some stuff at birth we didn't do, but some of the other stuff we did do. And then the seed oils and diet thing, this is a common refrain from you know immigration sympathizers that the problem is not that these people are just cut from a different cloth it's that their diet isn't good their IQ is low because they're not

eating properly like I that is I don't think that is a fair assessment honestly I don't and there's a lot of data that points to that that I will not say on the show but you can find this stuff fairly easily the US has a lot of reporting that cuts out a lot of noise and even even though it's not perfect, there's some obvious truths in certain demographics about the way you can expect those demographics to behave. And in Canada, you see it, you know? There's not a mystery. I mean, how many times we have a segment called Toronto Man versus Brampton Man, I almost

never get it wrong. It's a blind smell test. You look at the Toronto Police Service Twitter account. Every single crime is committed by a recent immigrant from the same three places. Like, what are we talking about? It has nothing to do with diet, vaccines. It's got everything to do with the cut of the cloth. And it's just the way it is.

It sucks, but there's no point in ignoring it anymore. It's like right in your, you know, right in your, it's right in your face all the time. Boomer, you're not an immigration sympathizer. I'm just saying, that's what some people say. Anyway, let's move on before I get it more shit. Huntington Stabbings was something that came up. and the train station yeah yeah and that's an absolute crazy is those two people just indiscriminately stabbing people on a train yeah and this when they did this when this happened you had members in elected position saying let's not jump to the clue let's not talk about this yeah people fucking got stabbed you know nine of them nine people killed no it was i think it was 11 people taking the hospital No, me died.

Oh, I thought it was nine killed. Okay. Yeah. No, no. Two patients remain in life-threatening condition as of yesterday. Okay. And they're saying that this has nothing to do with terrorist-related. I mean, maybe not, but then I have.

I cannot repeat my thoughts on this on the show. I've already said enough. Well, if you're taking, look, I would be scared if I was on these trains. Totally. And witness this. I wouldn't want to go on another train again. You'd never get on a train again. You'd never get on a bus.

You'd never get on a train. You'd never use public transit. And why should you? And public transit just generally, it's pathetic. They could take the subway in Toronto, for instance. It's fucking brutal. Yeah. But you know what?

It's a mental hospital. There's an admission by Olivia Chow that it is a rail mental hospital. Well, how do we know this? Because we send social workers onto it to make sure. that no one has a mental breakdown. Like, that's what you see in an asylum, not on a train. Like, there's no, you can't,

there's no explaining it to these people. And again, there's an outstanding tweet from a few weeks ago. The problem with arguing with the left is that dialogue and discourse are impossible because they just pretend not to understand what the problem is. And so that's how you wind up with people just disconnecting from society, not taking the train anymore, not getting on a bus that's what happens that's the outcome and unfortunately the problem is it's now compounded because it's going to be more costly to buy a car if they continue in a direction of limiting

how many internal new internal combustion engine cars are then you're forced to buy an electric and that's more costly then you have to deal with do we have enough electricity to power that so then you're almost funneled back to these public transit options because you just don't have the funding to buy a new car or a jalopy out there that's used because it won't last very long so you're basically back to square one where you're taking the train again

and you're just dealing with the degenerates on it yeah these are the commoners right these are the people that just Joe blows that are just trying to get to and from work to and from school to and from shocker shocker right like it's crazy man it's crazy that this is allowed it's crazy

that it's, like, defended by an entire part of the political establishment. It's going to become a point where you have a mass flight of people, people are already moving to Mexico. But they can't. The UK today just put in a minimum 20% exit tax. Did you see that? Like, they know what they're doing is driving competent people away. And they're like, you're not going.

People still pay that. You know what? If push comes to shove, people will say, fuck it, I'll fucking pay that. Is it worth it? I think so, too. Physical and mental health is worth far more than the 20% I'd have to pay. What would it take for you right now? Like me and you, I remember when we were just starting the show, we did an event for shake pay

and we took the train to Toronto. You remember that? Yeah, that was the go train. Would you still do the, when was the last time you were on a go train? Would you get on a go train now? 100%. A go train. Yeah, I think it weeds out a lot of the riffraff that you get on the TTC because of the cost.

Not as I say, it's perfect, but it's just pound for pound it's better than the TPC. So, yeah, I'll take the go train any day. In fact, last time I took it was a year ago. It's been a while. But I would do it again. I was almost going to take it again September this year, but I got to drive the Toronto. Great. Yeah.

Should we wrap with Hamilton Brampton Man here or what? You don't want to talk about Supreme Court coming out with their channel pornography? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Introduce. I could talk about that. Yeah. Okay. Carney apologizing CBC having 81% of their new hires, so 84% of their new hires being indigenous people. Okay. Let's keep rolling. We'll go to 140. Fuck it. Why not? Those are good stories. Well, let's talk about that one right now. The CBC report came out. That's for last fiscal year. And the new people they hired, 84%. 84.84.1, to be specific, fell in a category. of indigenous people's persons with disabilities and racialized people their target was 65 percent so they far exceeded that so i think a plus right 84 is definitely nay right so yeah there we go is it is it reflective of the product that there's amazing i have to admit when i drive to work i sometimes listen to cbc radio because it just fucking stirs me and i

you know you got to get that information you got to like figure there was something i i can't remember what it was but it was there was something big going on and they just didn't even fucking cover it it was they were covering some stupid i fucking can't even say type of event it's just like they are just shoveling garbage down people's throats yeah and they're losing viewership and listenership and subscribership like crazy don't forget they're suing right now to keep the number of paying subscribers to CBC gem private I love that they're suing publicly funded

oh we can't fucking give that information oh no no that's that's gonna is it less than 500 do you think a ping because there's the free in the paying right so if you're gonna paying paying subs to CBC Jam gotta be less than 500

no I'm gonna go above that for sure thousand they're suing to keep the number private so a reasonable number I'll go with 2,500 people that's a country of

of 42 million whatever fuck we're at unknown 5 million are probably hard for CBC years yeah 2500 they're poor their hardcore CBC years are poor but there's some like professors

I don't know I really I really think that number's super low I really do I we're going to find out at some point so we'll talk we can talk about the child porn thing. How many things can we say to become absolutely nuked by the algorithm today? I don't know. But there's a couple hundred people watching, so I don't care. The child porn ruling

upset me quite a bit when I first saw it, but I've tempered my response because some people in the replies to the tweet point out, the big problem with mandatory sentences for child porn is that it doesn't really account for the 18-year-old with a 17-year-old girlfriend and them trading pictures. I have been in that situation. My first girlfriend was younger than me by a few years. And so, like, should I, thankfully, we didn't have smartphones back then. But should I be jailed for a year minimum at 18 if my 17 year old girlfriend sends me a picture? Well, that's that's, that's the rationale for removing it. Now, I don't know how many cases they have like that. Obviously, I don't know that. But that is the rationale because by definition,

That is CP. It's being traded. You have an adult and a minor. It meets the criteria for the minimum sentence. So what do you do with that? I don't know. I think it's different. I think I don't want to justify this.

But if it's a one-way street, if there was no solicitation and they was sent over to the 18-year-old, maybe you might be okay. What if you're trading pictures? What if you're trading pictures? It could be problematic and you have to move to the laws. Not if you, no, I don't mean you're trading it to a friend. I mean, you and your girlfriend are.

trading. You got to know the laws, man. Like, this is a thing, right? So do you, do you deserve a one year sentence for that? You know, you're 18 in a day and she's 17 and 364 days? Like, what do you do? I am, this is making me sound crazy. I realize that. But I have been in that situation. And I will tell you that I don't know what the law should be. Mandatory, I have no idea. I have no idea. Make it mandatory and the hell with it. And you throw some out, I guess.

You just change the, you know, you can make a case for romantic interest. I have no idea. I really am not sure how the law works, but just, you know, there should be, there should be a, like the thing is that if you get caught with like, I don't want to say real child porn, but child porn the way you and I understand it, a year is not long enough, you know. No, that's a mandatory minimum, but the mandatory minimum, a year is not long enough for that. I agree. You're distributing child pornography. Like, you need to be like under the jail. We've had cases that we've had cases we talked about in this show where people, they had their sentence reduced because it would impact your immigration status.

Yeah. Yeah. Right. So those type of cases, you throw out the immigration status because now you have a mandatory minimum to set that there's a floor here. And if it goes above that, all the more power, man. Okay. I see what you're saying. Yeah.

So, like, we have to, I'm not sure if it's a deterrent. Because, you know, let's be honest, there are states that have the death penalty and people still do crimes that result in them being executed. So clearly, it's not totally the turn, but I guess those people, they might have mental issues. I don't have no fucking... Yeah, of course. But at the very least, you're taking them off the streets.

And you're not, if they're behind bars, you're not going to be doing this. You'd hope not. Maybe they do this. I have no idea what goes on in fucking jails. But in my mind, this shit doesn't happen in jails. And we feel better as... as fucking taxpayers as Canadians. And it wasn't

it wasn't like it was a slam dunk. It was a five to four decision. Yeah. It was close. It was fucking very close. And people are pointing to like the sort of Trudeau era judges being the ones who voted against a mandatory minimum. I'm giving you the case for not having a mandatory minimum.

I am not a liberal, you know, by any definition. And so I don't know. I think there's, um, yeah, unbelievably. I think there's something to this removing the mandatory minimum. I don't know the laws around this though, really. Like, you know, there must be some exemption or loophole for people in a, you know, relationship. You know, you can look back at text messages or whatever and see like, yeah, these people are, you know, they're in love or what, I don't know what the term would be. But it's like, what do you, what do you do, right? This is also like sort of a digital era, a digital era.

behavior, right? The sort of swapping of explicit photos, you know, wasn't happening 15 years ago. Was it happening 15 years ago? It probably was, actually. But 20 years ago, it wasn't happening. I don't think, unless it was on MSM messenger.

So anyway. Carney apologized about the Reaganite, right? I did see that. I don't care about this, really. No, there's a lot to this. There's two pieces that are very interesting. A lot to it, you say. Okay, I'm all these.

Well, he said, he told Ford not to go ahead with the ad so he's saying this publicly now you have a there's a a riff between him and Doug Ford there's no rift there's no riff well these guys are smart they know that no one's going to talk about this in a week

so they just say whatever they want and that's it the beautiful thing about this Carney he came in with no cards now he has cards he's we had not too long ago they were who was it saying that Zelensky should be fucking apologizing was it uh vance

vance was yeah right now you have this guy apologizing have you said sorry even once right yeah he had this guy does apologize right so he's willing to play ball he's got card he's supposed to play so there he goes

good on Carney for doing this and they had dinner afterwards after let's uh let's get out of here talk about some hamilton member strands man brought to you by 256 heat dot com you got the shirt on today Juan told me he's uh selling

and installing another unit Wednesday if you haven't got one I don't know what you're doing. Tuan was saying that he's having trouble shipping the S-9s because they're a little finicky. So if you're local, he will make it happen for you, man. You'll come to your house to install it, I think, in some cases. So take advantage of that, buy one. And even if you're not local, you know, sort out the shipping.

Pay for a crate or something. I don't know. Find a way to get it to you because you want one of these things. This thing's just running behind me at all times. Just a few thousand stats every day, easy piece. and you don't think about it. A. Y.C. Free, baby. A few 56 seat.

All right. So Brampton versus Hamilton, man. You can play along at home. People like this particular segment. And you know, we made it expand it for the Christmas episode. We might do a nationwide one. We're going around the world. No, not world.

Around the horn. Me and Leonard are actually just streaming a game of Monopoly on Christmas Eve. I'm playing for a few hours. I love playing Monopoly. So do I. Actually, I love nothing. Yeah, I played a fucking ton of it when I was my teens. Anyways, let's talk about this woman who is charged after throwing vomit at a cabbie.

And this 24-year-old woman is facing charges after throwing her own vomit at the taxi driver following a night of drinking. Taxi or Uber? Taxi. And just after 2 a.m. on a Saturday night, a drunk woman was riding in a taxi with a number of other people. And she got sick, started vomiting inside a cab. and she was told that she had to pay a cleaning fee for this. The woman became very upset, decided to hurl her vomit

and assaulted a driver to fleece. Yeah, she stood in a few ways. And the woman tried running away from the cab, but it was located and arrested by police. She was charged with the cell level one and mischief under $5,000. So here you go, that's the story number one. And story number two is a shorthy,

but I found it to be fucking hilarious. this guy was charged with witchcraft Please say that this guy was charged Because it was fraud for pretending to practice witchcraft And investigators alleged the suspect was taking money For witchcraft related services at his home Easy, I got the snail down I got the snail down

Charges a fraud of under $5,000 in pretending to practice witchcraft and they used doing courts to he's offering those services for more than a year so he had a number of different clients out there that were impacted by this and the police were asking for alleged victims or anybody else with information to come forward so they could add this to the pile of charges against this man

so here we go we have the tossing of the vomit and we have the witchcraft dude who's the Hamilton who's the Brampton person when I was like 23 I was dating this girl not dating. We were like fooling around or whatever. Lindsay, I won't see your last name. And I was at Hess Village pursuing another interest of mine. And as I was getting ready to leave with the other interests, Lindsay stumbled out of a bar called Diablo's and wrapped their arms around my neck and was like, let's, like, I'm ready to go. Let's go home. And so I left with, I left with, Lindsay and Lindsay threw up in the cab on the way home and uh we had to go to the manual car wash on Mohawk and upper Wellington in Hamilton and I had to wash the floor mats of the car

because the cab driver wouldn't do it and I had to obviously I paid for the pleasure of doing so plus I gave the guy another hundred bucks because the smell this is not going to leave the cab anytime soon when we got back to Lindsay's house I had already been there a few times and kind of like knew her living situation. She's living with not her parents, but like her aunt and uncle were local. Her parents lived a little further away down in northern Ontario. And I was literally like fireman carrying her into her house through her garage. I knew the code for the garage.

And I got inside. She was wasted, so wasted, like barely coherent. And her uncle was awake. What does this guy think I'm doing now? He thinks I'm taking advantage of this. girl dragging her in through the garage door. She can't even open her eyes. And he knows I've been there before.

Brutal situation. Throwing up in the cab leads to terrible outcomes 100 times out of 100. No matter what the situation, throwing up in the cab is unforgivable. It's not forgivable. I never saw Lindsay again after that night, by the way. You didn't throw the vomit out. I never saw her again.

We were supposed to go to Ottawa for a friend of mine's graduation. She was going to be my date. ended up going to Ottawa by myself and picking up some girl off Tinder to bring to the banquet. That's a true story. Anyway, I will say that the cab is the Hamilton man and the witch doctor is the Brampton man. Oh, you're 100% correct. Knew it, knew it. Who's practicing witchcraft, though?

I've not talked about the witchcraft Brampton man before. Yogendra Pathak. Anyways, that's the witchcraft, dude. I would love to get involved in that. maybe we can use him to help us figure out when to buy Bitcoin when to sell Bitcoin. He's an analyst. He's by Quant.

Do you think he would have told us about that whole drainage from what was that thing that was just got nuke today? Oh, Mark was talking about it. Balancer or something? Val, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, because if he could give you some insight and think of all the people that got wrecked as a result of that. Yeah. You know, DeFi is a sketch. actually thing, but if you could time it right when you're getting all your gains and you just pull out before you get a wreck, this guy might be able to give you

some tips. We need a wish doctor on staff. What you could do with those winnings? Take a cab, fucking just get ripped at a bar and fucking start throwing a vomit at you unleashing the cab that the driver. Tip and rip with what was the guy's name? GERB GERF something? Pathic.

Gerv not Pathic coming on. Anyway, that's it. Lenn might be back Wednesday. You might not be good luck to everyone tomorrow. enjoy budget day for all those who celebrate and uh congratulations are you buying new shoes no no no no congratulations to mayor mom donnie too i'll i should have wore my shitty shoes but i wore my blue uh my blue shoes of the wedding on the weekend anyway that's it god bless take care yourselves talk to you soon take care
