Episode Date: August 12, 2026

From bizarre local crime waves to headline-making political shakeups, the Canadian Bitcoiners are straying far off the path this week to break down the cultural zeitgeist.On this episode, we investigate the inexplicable wave of AC units being stolen right off buildings in Atlanta, unpack Conservative MP Larry Brock’s sudden resignation and what it means for the caucus, and look at the conversation around Indian gangs making headlines in Canada. Plus, we dive into the debate over Indian folk dancing as a high school credit course, settle the ultimate suburban rivalry of Hamilton Man vs. Brampton Man, track Carney’s travels, and tackle whatever else crossed our feeds this week.

All right. So the rest of the stories, but before I go into the notable stories, I don't call you Joey Boomer. I got to just go through one final ad read, which is BTC mentor. And Nathan and his team, they have been working around the clock in the past of the while trying to help people because they have learned. People have learned when you screw around, well, they find out. and they've trusted the wrong device. And as a result, they either have been rugged or in the process of getting rugged. And BTC mentor will help you if you have not yet got rugged to preserve your Bitcoin. So they are a bunch of folks over there, BTC sessions as part of the team over there. I think he's the head, or Nathan is either way.

Check them out. They have many tools available to show you, to usher you in it to be the best. and be a sovereign bitcoiner. That's what you want to be. You want to be a sovereign bitcoiner, and these guys will help you do so. So check them out, and don't forget when you do approach them,

tell them that we sent you to. I forget what sort of discount you get, but you get something. But there you go. They were great during the cold card fiasco. They were pretty much my, like, go-to news source. BTC mentor is, yeah.

Yeah, like Nathan and Ben were live streaming, you know, starting that Friday morning, you know, like it kind of all blew up on the Thursday. First thing Friday, they had like a live stream answering questions right away. I'm not,

I'm assuming that Nathan has gotten some sleep since. I mean, like, but I know they were working around the clock for, for a while. They're a great bunch of guys. They are. I'm not sure if your AC unit is secure.

But from what I've been reading in Atlanta, it's a bit of an issue. Atlanta is a very hot city in a summer, hot and humid, so it gets muggy. And so having an air conditioner is not quite a luxury. It's a necessity, a lot of people would say. But what is happening is, well, there's been a lot of theft of air conditioning devices in Atlanta.

And people have come to their senses and you know what? They're caging them up. The question when I first read this story is, is this Europeans coming over stealing the devices and taking it back home? Nah, it's not the thing. That whole meme that going on and a lot of discussion how in Europe

a lot of people don't have air conditioners and well, it's just, it's a tough place to live in the humid and hot environment if you have no air conditioner. Either way, these EC units that are being nabbed, they're not the ones that are people putting into the windows and, you know, Kramer installed. These are the fucking HVAC units.

These are the big, heavy duty units. Thieves, this is like end of days for economy. Like when you get people doing their shit. People are coming in with trucks or SUVs. And they're taking away the entire unit itself, either the commercial or residential AC unit. And they're doing it in just minutes. They've been, they're so good at doing it in and out.

And before you know it, your house is getting a little warmer. Hey, what the hell? You go inside the east of fucking hole over there. So these thefts are taking place night, but also in daylight, right? They do this, and they're doing it not because they want to stay cool. They're taking the copper out of these units and they're selling it. If you do the math, how much copper is in there, like 30, 40 bucks max? Oh, not even. Yeah, that's a stretch.

It just doesn't make sense to me. The homeowner or the business owner that had the unit stolen, they got to replace this thousands of dollars, maybe five figures worth to have it bought, installed and all that shit. And then you have the downtime of the AC in hotlanta. It's just making people, you know, going nuts. So like, what do they do? People are decided, you know what?

Enough is enough. I'm putting these fucking cages in. And these are cages that are bolted down to. concrete and they lock it in the place and there's also a heavy mesh and all that shit in the steel frame you know i read this i think man you know what it's all good brother it was all it was all downhill from you know 15 years ago or so when you started going to the pharmacy and the jillette razors were under lock and key that that was that was that was that was that's where it all started. That's where, like, what was, that's the first thing that I can remember being all

locked up were my Gillette razors. Is that now, and now we're at air conditioning. Is that a local thing for you? Like, you've seen that? Because I have, I don't think I've seen it here. Luckily, it hasn't. Oh, no. Seriously, I've gone to other cities as well where I've, well, where I've, when's the last time you went to a pharmacy land? I went to Costco yesterday and with the pharmacy section there. Okay. So maybe Costco's a little, maybe Costco's a little bit different. Yeah. I know like pretty much every pharmacy that I've been to in a long, long time has had like where the razor blades and other things now are put our

under lock and key at the pharmacy. Just anything that's priced over like $19 is locked up to make sure that people can't steal it. Thomas saying there's a lot of copper winding in the motor. So maybe there is something to it. I just find it to be incredible that they're going after these units. $40, you said $40, $40 worth of copper is a lot of copper. These are heavy units, you know.

I guess. I don't know. But if they're big units and you need a truck, like how are these people like, they're coming in with pickups and SUVs and shit like that. They are. Like is it a group? Like is it one group? I don't know if it's one group.

this seems to be more of a systemic issue over there to the point where people are caging shit down. Plebany is saying torque wretches are always locked up a Canadian tire. This is the way things are trending, unfortunately. Do you ever watch the wire? I don't know what the wire is. Oh, you got to watch the wire. It's like the greatest show ever made.

But it's TV show. Triller Park Boys? Well, Charter Park Dors is up there, but the wire is even better than trailer park boys. So the wire is basically a show about poverty, right? It's about urbanization, poverty, race, crime, drugs. It encompasses a lot of that socioeconomic stuff that this story relates to. One of the characters in the wire is a drug addict.

And in one of the seasons, he goes around with a shopping cart to construction sites. and just finds like elaborate ways to just like steal shit from construction sites like copper pipes and stuff from and that's what I was thinking when you were when you were reading off the story I'm like this is like bubbles back in back in season three where he's like going around with his shopping cart stealing people like yeah just stealing random copper things or random aluminum things just for scrap metal it's it's a bad sign it's a really bad sign so you know he has that go card or he had to like a The already seasons.

You see that? Like he was driving his go-cart? Different bubbles. That's how small. It's a different bubble. There's a bubbles in trailer track boys and there's a bubbles in The Wire. Two amazing characters,

two amazing actors, two like legitimate, you know, like some of the most intelligent fictional characters in the history of modern cinema are both named bubbles, but they're very different to look at them.

Got it. Very different, very different visuals. Got it. I got to check that out. You definitely do got to check it out. Watch the wire. As for the go cart,

remind me to tell you a story off the air because I have some funny stories with the go carts that I don't want to bring up here because just in case somebody's listening. There's good news. If you're in Surrey, BC, and either you're in, high school or you have children in high school that they need credits.

The BC Ministry of Education, they have approved the Royal Academy of Punjab Society to provide students with the ability to earn high school credits through Punjabi folk dance. This is just hot off the press. So if you're grade 10, 11, or 12, you're eligible to get these external credentials. And you're good to go. So I'm not sure if this is something that would appeal to you. Maybe you live in the, you live somewhere in your auto, we'll call that, because obviously you have the Ottawa Bitcoin meet up.

But if you're going to be moving to BC, you're going to be moving to Surrey, would you consider going for this Punjabi folk dance? You can come have me. I'll come in on a moment's notice to come on the show on the CVP to talk about Bitcoin. I'll talk about like copper wire. I'll talk about the wire. I'll talk about NHL 94. Like I'll talk about the greatest

the greatest intercontinental champions of all time. And it's Mr. Perfect. Like I, you know, all day long. Punjabi folk dance. I'm going to have to have a pass on that one because I couldn't, I don't even know what a Punjabi folk dance is. Whatever it is, you get credit for that. And if you

get that credit and you go apply to college and university and they ask you, what did you take? I learned how to do this folk dancing and I want to become a doctor or I want to become an accountant or something. Yep.

By all means, you know, with that, I was not going to select you, but this fucking folk dancing thing. I see this on your transcript that pushed you over the edge. You're in, buddy. Let's go and let's dance along the way. I'll be willing to bet across this beautiful country and across all the high schools and all the different provinces and all the different territories,

that there's a ton of these programs and extra credits. And I bet you a lot of them don't make a ton of sense. And we can probably add this one to the list. Yeah, it's just another drop. Just another thing. Yeah. Let's not worry about linear algebra. Let's not worry about engineering.

Let's not worry about that type of stuff. but let's do more dance. So tell me for Ottawa, the city of Ottawa, if you ever go there. Yeah. How has it changed in the past 10 years? Because I haven't been there really in a decade, maybe a little bit longer. But my image of it when I used to go visit, it was nice, clean, quiet, good place to raise a family. And so, like, it's a beautiful city for that.

plus you have skiing really close by, whitewater rafting. Like you got a lot of like really, as long as you can stomach the cold, it's a great place to be. But then I see this story about there's 150 sexual assaults reported since June first. And that's up 25%. What's going on in Ottawa, man? What's up? Well, if there is one sexual assault, that's one too many. right like let's agree with that like there should be zero that's what we want we want we want

society where there are zero uh as far as ottawa itself how ottawa has changed over the years downtown is unrecognizable really for me like parts of the downtown ottawa are just even from like university of ottawa area yeah university of ottawa area yeah it's pretty Right at the university is not so bad, but you do not have to go very far away from the university to get into something that it looks like something from a TV show or a movie. Homeless camps?

Homeless camps, just literal people ODing on the street all over the place. Like I can't tell you how many. This is from last year, but I witnessed a guy. This is a Friday morning at 10 o'clock. in the morning. I was going out to Starbucks. I was at work and I just needed a morning Starbucks. And on my way to start walking the Starbucks downtown, middle of, middle of this, middle of down. That could not be more downtown on a Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Some guy collapsed right in

front of me and they had to get the ambulance and they shot him with whatever, whatever drug that's called to, you know, when you're having a fentanyl overdose. Neo something. Neo clam or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. right there. And that's just a normal thing now. The people of Ottawa, the residents, just walk past this every single day. And it's bad. It's really bad. Narkhan. T. Jam is saying it's Narcam. Yeah. Narcan. So that's the biggest difference that I've noticed in Ottawa is like right in the downtown. If you're going outside the downtown core, maybe it's a little bit worse. Maybe it's a little bit more more populated, maybe. But downtown has just become

like Skid Row. There's places. I never thought that like there would be places of Ottawa that I wouldn't go during the day, never one, let alone at night. I wouldn't go during the day. That's bullshit. So like that's in just a short period of time. Like I said, 10 years, 15 years ago. When I went there like I took family. It was just beautiful. It was just clean. It was, like I said, it was a great place.

And the image in my head is still like that. I have to go visit again to really see it and say, well, but things have changed. But it's like, what a great place to have a family and just grow up over there. Because just what you have, as long as you can deal with the cold.

If you can't deal with the cold, there's probably no shittier place on Earth. But if you could deal with it, there's probably no better place on the earth. At least that's the way it seemed to be. but whatever. Ottawa in the summer is the best. The Ottawa summer is unbelievable.

So question here. How about the WNBA boomer? Because you have the Sophie Kennedy-Henheim president. I'm really excited for the 27 WNDA entry draft. I'm doing my mock draft right now. Is LeBrona going to get picked,

you think, or no? No, I got Enos Canter going number one. Over Lebrana? Because if he declares. I don't think he's going to declare, but Royce White has declared. it, I believe. Royce White was a pretty good small forward in Iowa back in the day.

He never really stuck around with the Rockets. He got drafted, I think, in the middle of the first round. But I think he could go to overall in the WMBA draft. So, forgive me, do you even, this is going to be like the question that shows you know the league. How many teams are in the league? I have no idea. So you don't give me shit.

And I love it. 14, I don't know. You just fucking throw a dart on the wall. I have no clue. I have like, if you're listening online, like on my name, I just have a president of the Sophie Cunningham fan club. And I have been president of the Sophie Cunningham fan club for a while. It's only now where she's kind of getting popular.

But like she's been on my radar for a little while. So GDP was high for a long period of time in Canada. and that was the metric that was always touted to prove that Canadian economy was just humming along. And one of the ways they were able to keep GDP high was to increase the amount of people coming into Canada. So you have somebody come here on a temporary basis, either as a student or a work or foreign work or whatever it may be. If they come with money, that's money that they earned or borrowed from their home nation. They're bringing it here and it's going to be spent here to buy food, ranch. I guess it's going to help be churned up in the economy and that elevates GDP.

But GDP per capita, of course, goes down. I bring this all up because there is stories out there that's revealing that the Bishnoi gang, that's an Indian gang, they have used the Canadian student visa program as a way to have their gang members enter into Canada. And they see between 2019 and 2023, 4,000 Indian citizens who came here just for studying

were charged with almost 18,000 offenses. So 4,000 Indian citizens were responsible for almost 18,000 offenses. And 97 of them were deemed to be violent in 2024. And they're saying, that this all is because they brought in people that may not have been vetted in a way to see if they have any

criminal connections or if they're going to be coming here to do some criminal activity. This is a mess. People are here to get rid of them will be very costly. It may never be done in totality. We're just stuck with that. And a Bitcoinius Maximus, I love. the way you said, I can't say it just in case it's but you're 100% right.

That's what it is. That's only one country. But that's the majority of the people. Yeah. It's like half, more than half came from that. So like, you know, we weren't getting a shitload of study permits from Spain or from South Africa or Argentina.

4,000. 4,000. How many towns, like small towns, like small towns, Canada. You know, you know, like I grew up in a town that had fewer than 4,000 people. Like, how many towns in this country have fewer than 4,000 people? A lot. Like a lot of people we know that we work with, that we, you know, are friends of ours or whatever, grew up in places that are smaller than 4,000 people. And this is 4,000 people that have come in since 2019. And you're getting that demographic, right? Like that specific age, young men, it's, it's, I don't know what

the number would be where it's like, okay, well, that's normal. Obviously, you want it to be zero. If you're coming in on a student visa, you shouldn't be committing crimes. I mean, I've had student visas before. Like, I've studied abroad, you know, and I had student visas. I didn't break the law in the country that I was studying in. I was there to study. But you, I guess, there's some mathematical formula. It'd be like, okay, well, 2% of students

commit crimes or something. It shouldn't be a big number. This is not good. No, and they're stuck here. Right? For the majority, they're going to be, like some will be sent back either voluntarily or forcefully, but a lot of them will stay here

and they'll continually doing their craft because it becomes expensive to send people back right? Like what do you do? For a case like this, like a student visa, if you're the authorities, what do you do? You cancel the visa.

Who cares? I bet you for the majority of these guys, they weren't even going to school anyway. They don't care if you cancel the visa or not. Right. And it makes the good students look bad. Because there certainly are plenty of of good exchange students here on

on student visas. And, oh man, it's just a terrible. And then so the visa expires, their status lapses over here. What happens? They'll work for cash. They'll fly under the radar. Whoever's employing them is happy

because they're going to pay them a lesser rate because they're paying them in cash. So the employer is, quote, unquote, winning. The guy that's here legally is, is quote unquote winning, and we're the collective losers as a result of this. And just it's all because

if you go back, like I said at the very beginning, it was the, I'm not sure if that was the idea about this. I mean, maybe, but it certainly was a product, bringing in more people boosted the GDP.

There was, there's a direct correlation between the two. And maybe they were thinking it, maybe not, but either way, that's the result. And we're stuck with it. And what do you have now?

The people that were in charge previous regimes that made these decisions. One is having fun on a yacht down south and drinking out of plastic cups. The other is hobnobbing with the Z-man in Eastern Europe. And we're here just suffering as a result. It's a fucking disaster. But it's the reality we're dealing with. And in a way, it's fucking embarrassing. It's too bad.

but do what you got to do and I don't think there's an easy solution to this either like I no it's a nuclear like the way I'm approaching it is certainly it's not the easiest way and it's definitely a lot of people

wouldn't wouldn't do what what I'm suggesting but you know what I have in my mind no other alternatives and I'm going to do what I think is best for me and everybody should do the same because like the end of the day sorry? Let's say one of these guys gets caught.

So he's a student from wherever he's on a student visa, some sort of crime. Maybe he's stealing air conditioners or something. He gets caught stealing air conditioners. He doesn't care if you cancel his visa because he's not going to school anyway. And like you said, he's going to work for cash. He's probably been working for cash anyway. What are you going to do?

Throw him in jail. He'll get his three square meals a day? Yeah, exactly. Who's, and then what? Like how much, the average, my buddy, I have a really good friend of mine. He used to be a correctional officer. He's, uh, he no longer does that. But he was telling me that it's something like $125,000 on average to house a someone

in jail or, or, and that wasn't even like high. That was like a, you know, low level, uh, penitentiary. So what are you going to do? Throw all these guys in jail. Then what? So costly. Again, you want, you. Yeah.

It's more expensive than. Like, then they'll turn. So, so what do you do? Like, it seems to me is like maybe you kind of go after the people that enable this. Maybe. Like, like, if you find, like, and I know you guys have talked about it quite a bit over the years. It's been, it's been a little while since you brought it up. But these, these educational institutions that tend to be pretty lax with giving out these, with these visas.

Yeah. Do we go after them? And if they're committing some sort of fraud, just literally just throw the book at them. So then then that disincentivizes them from issuing all these visas. And if they issue fewer of these visas and there's less, you know, there's less abuse of the system. But what does that do for the people that are already here? Not a whole lot. Maybe they can help deal with the tariff threat.

you know, we have the pending, was it 10 days from now, whatever it may be. But good news is at least we have one dude that's visiting Tuscany right now. So he's doing his thing, making sure that he's going to be recharging his batteries while leaving the rest of the crew to try to deal with the whole issue and negotiate a new deal.

Tuscany must be nice this time of year. My sister's there right now. Must be nice. It is. It really is. And that's like I, you know, it is what it is. Yeah.

Larry Brock. You know this dude. You've heard of him. It's good resigning. MP4, Brandt, sorry, Brantford Brandt. And September is going to be his last time

he's going to be sitting in the house. In fact, he probably won't sit in the house again. I don't think the house sits until September. So he may never sit again. The guy has been an absolute bulldog in committees and in the House of Commons, right? And social media. He's been out there and just been a huge plus for the conservatives. Now, with him leaving, it's a huge loss for him.

And that's a massive gain for the liberals because you have one less bulldog that's going to be chomping at them. And he said he's going to be leaving politics to go back to his form. job as a prosecutor at the Brantford Crown Attorney's Office and that's what he was doing before he entered into politics in 2021. He was working as an assistant Crown Attorney and with him stepping down in September

there's going to be a by-election but no by-election date has been set and this could be pivotal moment for Pierre Pollya. We have his ratings are tanking. The conservatives don't seem to be resonating with the voters for whatever reason. And liberals, for whatever reason, seem to be resonating with the voters.

If you look at the latest polls, if you believe them, and I think I tend to do, liberals are going to just absolutely trounce everybody out there. And so this is the seventh conservative MP that left the party since last year. The election was just last year. Seven have left. Some bolted for the liberal party. Some resigned from politics like this dude. others were appointed senators. This story,

I'm not sure if people are looking into this, but I think there's more to it that meets the eye. Larry Brock resigning. He seems to be a relatively young guy. He seems to have a very bright future in politics if he stuck around, but he's not sticking around. Was this guy like a leadership possible guy? I don't know anything about politics,

but yet I knew this guy. I don't think he speaks French very well, is my guess. Maybe. I've never heard of I never speak French before for me to know a politician given how little I follow politics

it means like oh he must be like an important guy because I probably couldn't name 10 of them and he's one of the ones that I could name so that's I don't know not not so good if you're the conservatives for sure you got to think you got to think like behind closed doors this guy was like one of the most

active guys in the party, right? Like, you got a thing. Maybe not, but just from the vibes that I got from him, from the way that he would talk, he seems like he was in that inner circle. But I guess he feels. This is a fucking disaster for a conservative.

Let's be out. It's a disaster for them. And I'm not sure how they're going to be able to deal with another loss like this. the by-election, the results are going to be very interesting to watch. This guy got 50% of the vote last time, but now you're going to have somebody else run. Obviously, it's not going to be the incumbent in a by-election. So name recognition is out the door.

There was a liberal MP that resigned today as well. Yeah, he, from a car accident. It was, sorry, dealing with the issues from a car accident from Scarborough. And right, so you basically have two resigning. So it really doesn't, in the grand scheme of things, you just doesn't change anything because

you subtract one of the opposition and you subtract one from your team. You still have, you know, you still have the majority of votes in the House of Commons. But it goes to show you that they have a razor thin majority right now. And if a few people are sick for whatever reason or can attend because they're traveling

to Italy, for instance, then voting is very challenging to get everybody out there and win a vote. And the conservatives, they've been adamant of having other people come out when it comes time to vote. Either way, this is going to be, this is turning into a huge disaster for Polia. I think he's done. Do you think we have an election in the fall? That's a great question.

Because if I were the liberals, I might think about it, right? If you're that, if you're far ahead in the polls and you kind of might want to lock up. Because like what you just said, like, sure, they got a majority. It's a lot of risk. You do have a majority,

but it's a razor thin majority. And you're worried about, you know, people being sick or not being there for whatever reason, viable reasons. You might want to strike while the iron's hot. And even if you got like five more seats. That's,

yeah, you're right. You got to think that that would be enough, right? Like, like, yeah. It's pretty tempting.

if I were them. If there's no agreement in place and no concessions have been made aside from potentially Gordy Howbridge, I think that leaves the Liberal Party in a very good position to win an election. Because then they could always use the narrative, I need a stronger mandate to deal with Donald Trump.

And people seem to believe that Carney is better suited to deal with Trump than Poliev. So if that narrative is still adopted by the masses, not having a trade agreement in place is beneficial for Carney. Once the trade agreement is done and if it's not done in a way that Canada really got the shaft, then maybe they could still do something. But if Canada gets a shaft, I can't see Carney coming out and doing an election and trying to win a stronger majority. like so yeah they may want to do something before that the any agreements are done because it takes that variable out of the equation did you see polyeff went on uh jo rogan a couple of months ago yeah

did you watch it yeah i sure did it's kind of boring right i thought he did pretty good and he got a bit of a boost immediately thereafter yeah yeah i i thought it was just like i don't know white meat it was just kind of boring like it it didn't it didn't compel it didn't didn't it didn't it didn't elicit any emotional reaction in me whatsoever. He's kind of boring. Maybe more than kind of. But like, see, you guys, you guys say all the time. Like, who's, who's on deck?

Like, who's there, who's there to step up? Like, the question. And you know what? Before Trudeau, who was on deck to replace him? Like, did, oh, the talk was always carny. But, you know, maybe, no, maybe he was always the guy that was on, I don't know. Maybe that's where Joey's at. Maybe Joey, that's why he's not here today.

Dude, parts unknown. He's on parts of known. He's not. Maybe he's interviewing for a leader of the conservative party. No, I thought you're going to say he's traveling with the prime minister in, uh, in Tuscany. But anyways, let's go to the Hamilton versus Brampton Man segment.

He's literally just going and start talking to you about what you, he'll work with you. You know,

what are you looking for? How much heat you need? So, yeah, 256 heat. And no, I don't play that much golf. It's been a week and a half since I've hit the links. I played once this year.

I played once this year. What are you shooting this year? The 90s, you know, that's a spectacular. I'm just, I'm a hack. I go there to look for balls and find balls rather than to hit them into the

hole. I find it's more therapeutic to go find them in a woods. I played with a couple of friends of ours. I played with a couple of Bitcoin guys that you know. One of them who's really good, who I think shot one over, one over or two over. And then the other guy, me and him were right around bogey. So, but the guys were surprised that I was as good as I was. I don't play as often as I used to. I used to be okay. But the past couple of years, I haven't played enough. We did nine holes and I shot a 46. Not bad. Not bad for you.

Especially if you don't play a lot, that's not bad at all. Not bad at all, yeah. Yeah, you got potential. All right. So that was good on a par three course. Just kidding. It's not a part three. So the Hamilton versus Branton Man, I got two stories for you.

And we'll start off with this. Man bragged about robbery, waived money around, according to police. So a man who allegedly bragged about the spoils of a recent robbery, not too far from the scene of a crime now faces criminal charges as a police say. And the incident happened at 11 p.m. on Monday at a gas

bar and according to police the man went into the store demanding cash and brandishing a deadbolt lock. Police say the man was given a small amount of cash before he ran off and left the weapon behind.

Investigators say witnesses in the area saw the man leaving the store and bragging about the robbery while waving the money in his hands. Officers and police dogs searched the area and found him not long afterward and a 33-year-old man is now facing robbery charges. So the dude robbed a gas bar with a deadbolt lock. Okay.

There was some hints in there. There was some hints in there. I paid attention. Everywhere. So number two, screaming man seen holding onto the roof of vehicle as it raised throughout the city. a 39-year-old woman is facing charges following a bizarre vehicle incident

that took place recently. Shortly after 5 p.m. on Monday, officers noticed a vehicle being driven in a, quote, dangerous manner. So police say a man was holding on to the hood of the vehicle. And according to a witness, who reportedly saw the incident, a man was screaming for help as the vehicle sped recklessly through red lights

before eventually crashing. No injuries were reported according to the police and the police have not released the name of the woman who was charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle and she's going to have to appear before a court soon enough. So those are the two stories we have. Was her name Sarah? I do.

Because that seems like a Sarah. And the man, you know, like what? We don't, I know you're not going to tell me his name, but could it be Ricky? That sounds like a, it's none of these two. You know what? In fact, I have no names for any of the individual. So we're just going strictly based on what I said. So we got the guy who robbed the gas bar with the deadbolt lock versus the other guy

that was on the hood of the vehicle and the woman was speeding away. through red lights and crashed. Okay. Surprisingly, even though he was on the hood, there were no injuries. Yeah, well, the no injuries, despite the attack, that is kind of a hint that it could be Brampton. But I, this is 5 p.m. in the afternoon. In Brampton, you're not speeding through anything at 5 p.m.

So, so like that that leads me to think that that could be Hamilton. The Deadbolt as a weapon is also a bit of a brand. move. Like, and police dogs. I don't think Hamilton has many police dogs. So, so that's,

why does Hamilton not have any police? I don't know. I just, I just get the impression that, like, the dogs gave up in Hamilton. Like, they ran out.

I thought all police officers, police departments have it. Okay, I'm curious. This is really interesting. I'm going to go, story one is Brampton Man, because like,

the Dead Bolt, that's a Brampton man. move. And I'll go Hamilton for the car thing. Yeah, just because, yeah, 5 p.m. on a weekday, yeah,

you're not speeding through anything in Brampton. So you are 100% wrong. Oh, wow. So the first story is indeed a Hamilton man, so the data was banishing the deadbolt lock. It's from Hamilton. And the lady driving around erratically with the man in the hood was from Brampton.

Wow. Yeah. Yeah, I love to hear the thought process, the inner workings, and how you get to this. I love hearing this stuff. Like, I gave you a shot, right? Like, that was pretty solid. Oh, yeah. I just got it wrong.

He didn't throw, yeah, you just didn't, you didn't flip a coin. No, you actually thought through it. But yeah, very good. So that's our Hamilton versus Branton Man segment brought to you by a 256 heat. All right. that's it. Boomer, we're done. Appreciate you coming on. Anytime. Final words before we sign off. Follow me on Twitter. The ruler's broken. I have a podcast slash had a podcast. We did 10 episodes.

Yeah, we're on a hiatus now for the rest of the summer and then we're going to reboot. We're going to reboot a backup in the fall and we're going to do something quite different. So me and business cat, a friend of the show. He's been on the show once or twice. We did 10 episodes of a podcast called The 49th Parallel. It's not a Bitcoin podcast. It was more like a men's issues podcast where we talk about, you know, stuff that adult men have to deal with. You know, like fatherhood, having your parents get old. Stuff like that.

So that's what we did. We did 10 episodes. People kind of liked it. So I would check everybody, check that out. Those episodes are really evergreen. Like I said, they're not Bitcoin podcast. Bitcoin might come up once or twice in the show, but it's not what the show is about. Our next kind of season that we're going to do with the podcast, and if you follow me on Twitter, it will be advertised.

We're going to be reading the book of Enoch. So we're doing a book club, like a book club type of thing. So Business Cat and I are both. I guess conspiracy theorist is kind of like, we were conspiracy theorist before. it was cool. Like, both of us were kind of kids growing up that we liked science fiction and we liked kind of ghost stories and, you know, JFK assassination stuff. We just really like that stuff.

So we're going. And as both of us get older, as Luke and I both get older, we're both becoming a little bit more spiritual. So kind of reading the book of Enoch is kind of this lost book of the Bible. Kind of combines a little bit of both about the religious stuff and the, you know, kind of, I don't know, conspiracy theory is the right word, but it's just a less than... Thoughts on JFK. Well, what happened to JFK?

A lot of weird stuff happened during the Cold War. Was it... Dude, I watched over the summer, I got crazy with the Cold War. Some of my friends know this because, like, I'd go to my friend's house and just, like, for a coffee. And the next thing I know, I'm, like, randomly talking about the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. It's just shit like that. got really into the Cold War. So yeah, like my my views now are that, yeah, JFK, that was, that was an inside job, I think, I don't know. I think a lot of documents have come out on the

JFK assassination and I think it's, do your research. Questions that never answered. And what was there with the Warren Commission? Never fucking answered anything. So we'll leave it at that. Boomer, Rishi, you coming on. This is anytime, brother. Wonderful time. All right, with that, take care. We're back on this Monday. Hopefully, Joey is back. If not, you're stuck with me again.

So take care.
