all righty so there we go that was the first segment of the show you survived it and we'll go on to the second half which is the rest of the news and anything that comes to mind right away because i have a few stories i want to talk about but do you have anything quickly did you want to talk about or no what's what's on the top of your mind i can tell by the look on your face that something is really getting well there's the story that we talked about Hulk Hogan already so like that's no no no that's the top story for me. The story.

We could talk about him for a few hours, but Kansas City, let's go to Kansas City. And we'd not talk about the chiefs, not the Royals, but over there we'll talk about a grocery store

known as Sunfresh. They've been operating since 2018, so just a little while ago, they started up. It's part of a revitalization project. And the Sunfresh market is part of a

community improvement district where the city collects revenue from one percent retail sales tax on purchases and it's going to help pay for development so there is a direct payment that's helping out for the city itself when people have shopped there it's helping them out but the one thing to note is sunfresh it's owned by a non-profit community builders of kansas city so you can see where they're coming from they're filling no products on the shelves no customers rotting food smell when you walk in the store almost three-quartered

of a million dollars was given to this grocery store by the city and yet there's no vegetables eggs stocked in weeks when you look at the pictures of this this is like a government run almost a government run grocery store and you see empty shelves it's reminiscent of pictures i've seen from the soviet union in the 80s it's incredible to see what happens when you take the incentive away It's crazy. It's, and I don't know why people would want to see this model being copied over and over again. There's countless examples of wide fails. We have to give a carrot.

Carrot is profit and that's one way to incentivize these businesses to do well. Expand. Build out. Give customers an opportunity to come there. Not fucking rotting smell of food. And innovate, right? Innovate. I don't know what to say.

This is just another example. And you hear in New York, they're talking about these city-run grocery stores they're going to be doing under this potential new mayor. Why? If anything, New York, I don't want to make this a New York story,

but we've got to at least acknowledge this. New York, like, what the fuck? It's the idea of New York, it's capitalism, or you have Wall Street, shit like that. And you're talking about, community or so you're talking about city run grocery stores like give me a fucking break like this is just a failure all around it just always fails and it always comes back because democracy is a

certain way right at a certain point in a democracy people will vote for free stuff they're going to they're going to they're going to want more free stuff and that's where it happens here now the people that run this grocery store the people that that are doing they probably don't have bad intentions at all like these are probably like well intended well intended people who actually care about their community who want to do well like i my heart goes out to those people like they just don't get it right now and they won't and they won't get it like right like what we his money's going to be given them left and right and they'll just you don't learn until you fucking get hurt right until like jones said you touch the stove i was just going to say

something else that joey would probably say like in order to get money you should have to squat 225 like you you want money from the state like get up get under a bar like 225 right here five reps let's go right it's proof of work you need to do it right you've got to give these guys a carrot that and that's and you know what being in a system where a capitalist system where those who thrive are the ones that provide the best services to their customers, the best value that the customers. And the ones that don't thrive are the ones that don't provide good value, good services to their customers because then over time, they'll just lose out. Without money coming in, they'll close shop. And so essentially it's the best wins.

You know what the problem with socialism is, Lan? You know what the problem is? We all lose. Eventually, you run out of somebody else's money to give away. No, there is no running out. As long as there's the managing of, as long as you have the ability to borrow, it's not a hard money system. So there's no money running out. Well, then you're devaluing.

You're debasing, right? Which is the same thing as taking our money. It's the same thing. right if they devalue our our dollar by 50% or they take 50% of our money at the end of the day it's the same end result you can buy half of the stuff you got to work twice as hard yeah or twice as much twice as much or twice as hard yeah until the point where you can't work any harder or any more and you basically tapped out working the second and third job it is kind of the stage of democracy though right like you see it like you see at a certain point it democracy becomes

a point the finger at everybody who's doing better than you and let's take their stuff and and that's what it becomes over and over and over it just it just the incentives are such that it'll just always come down to this unless we really fix the money. Here's a couple of comments. So Torup is saying run out of money, never run out of fiat currency. Yeah, but you run

out of purchasing power. Right. But he's right. You never run a thing. And John... It's like the ETH to Bitcoin chart, right? Like it's probably never go to absolutely zero, but it'll get really damn close to zero.

And John is saying, boomer is right? Eventually you lose your talented people and you don't have any more productivity in your territory. You know, one thing that's happening in Canada, I've seen statistics, you know, posted it today on our Discord. If you haven't gone on our Discord, what the fuck you're doing? A lot of people are leaving Canada. A lot of people have means. People with degrees, doctors, engineers, millionaires, they're leaving Canada at a rate that hasn't been seen in decades.

And this number, I suspect, is going to continually go up as things change in Canada. and people that have the ability to move, they just do. They go find a better place to go. Canada, I've said this many, many times, and maybe I'll take some grief for it for still saying it. But it's a great place. I can't believe I'm going to say this to work, right? Like there's, in terms of like earning a living,

and I know taxes are high and cost everything's going high, but look at other Western nations. I think Canada is still probably top of the list of compared to other Western nations. probably a few others that are better, but Canada is still kind of near the top. As for retiring in Canada, no, I think there's far better places to do it. But to work, I think Canada is a good place to earn a living as long as you're able to stay ahead of the inflation curve. In many ways, this literally is the most beautiful place in the world. We have so much to offer.

Like just last night, just last night, I was on my paddleboard at Meach Lake. so about half hour north of Ottawa is this like lake it's not even that far from the city and I'm telling you Lynn like this is like one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life like I'm lucky enough to have traveled

a little bit in my life and I'm from a part of this country that is like really beautiful and it's like you'd recognize you know the small town that I grew up in it's kind of a popular place Meach Lake just up the road over here

the accord remember the accord just as nice as anywhere i've ever been in my life and you literally can just park your car there yeah grab your canoe your paddleboard your your whatever and just jump on the lake and just do your thing you're just a lot the beautiful sunset like the cleanest water fresh fresh clean but the problem is you're describing like for retirement and visiting it's beautiful but if you're not earning anything you get totally it wrecked it's it's a tough place to stay like BAMP for instance is a wonderful

place. Whistler, BAMF, Jasper like all these things are really Victoria B.C. Fucking Vancouver. Yeah. Like fucking Vancouver. I know. Like what a I've never been there but from what I see stunning. What I hear like it's yeah stunning. They fucked it up though.

It should be. It should be the greatest city in the world like Vancouver like people should be like just dying to live there. Like From the climate to the wilderness, the natural beauty of that place. Yeah. And so Canada has all this shit. In terms of not many places in the world have an abundance of fresh water.

We do. Energy. We have oil, natural gas, uranium. We have so much fucking shit. Diamonds, gold, lots of stuff. You name it. Lots of heritable land. Lots of not so irritable land.

It's just a wonderful place. but unfortunately they were given pocket aces and they fucked up right there was no way anybody was going to invade Canada from the south the east ocean the west ocean at north you have the fucking Arctic nobody's going to so in terms of like dealing with an invasion like imagine Poland for instance and think of Poland over the last hundred change years I'm not trying to pick on Poland but they have to defend themselves because they They're in a shit spot. Yeah.

They're in a rough spot. Canada's not. We don't have to deal with that fucking bullshit. But yet still, again, you've got to give them fucking pocket aces. And now we have fucking at two and a four off suit. We have nothing. It's so frustrating. We can't get your fucking bluff our way through this fucking game.

It's so frustrating. When you take a look at Norway, look at Norway. We should be in a very similar spot as they are. and better than Norway. We don't have the European Union to deal with. We don't have that, right? We're not, we have to the south, someone who has an unsatiable appetite for the stuff we make.

They need our energy, they need our food, resources, they'll happily buy as much as they can from us, as much as we can make in theory, right? If we played our cards right, all this natural well. and yet we have what we have. People fucking lining up a food bank. Yes. Long hospital.

If you could somehow earn a living here and just stay ahead of the game and invest in Bitcoin and keep buying Bitcoin, you're able to parlay a decent, the Canadian dollar compared to a whole bunch of other currencies has value. For now. Yes. Who knows what's going on that?

And if you could just parlay that into fucking corn for the next five, 10, 15, whatever fucking years, you're a golden and you're going to find somewhere else to go and enjoy or be a part of making it better when the time comes and like i i know we've talked about this like i'm a little bit more optimistic and you are yeah i'm more optimistic like be the change you want to see in the world and and it doesn't take much and lend lend lend he's all like oh you know like oh get the fuck out. Like, I'm team. No.

Man, you're, just by having this show and coming on once a week, twice a week, you're, you're something. Okay. It's therapeutic for you for sure. But you are, you are a part of, you are doing it. You are part of the positive change. It's some time and I can't say when, but there will be a point in time where I will say goodbye and you'll never see me again.

that's it'll be me and joey hosting it'll be whomever yeah and i don't know when i actually i do know when it's going to happen because i have it circled on my calendar so i just don't want to disclose that but there'll be a point in time it's going to say goodbye enjoy and that's it i'm done and that's it i'm going to be done i'll be happy to this i have no qualms about i i'm just fed up and you know what Not that other places that I want to go to are truly a utopia. There's bullshit there, but there's bullshit I could swallow over there versus the bullshit that I'm seeing over here,

and the more bullshit that's going to be coming down. And it's not moving in the right direction here. Right. Exactly that. That's the problem. And you said it very well. We were dealt pocket aces and we fucked up our hand. Yeah.

Right? Look, I go through it too. I think about it all the time. time, like all the time, I talk about it. Like, I think about it all the time. Like, oh, like, if I just go to wherever, right? Yeah. But then what?

Somebody's got to, somebody's got to be here, right? Somebody's got to do it. Why not us? Well, no. Why not you, Len? No, no. I have things to see. And, yeah, there's a, I'll explain it after later on.

Talk about Trump. Got to talk about him. I mean, he's still adding to the fire. There's always something to say. Fucking guy. 45 is always better than 47. 47 is turning out to be a piece of trash. And he's storing out the idea of taking the money that has been collected on tariffs.

Right? They've been doing this for a little while. What are they going to do with this money? Cocaine. Cocaine. Pay off the debt. No, no, no. They're going to send money to Americans.

They're thinking about doing a fucking air drop of cash to people. Debt right now is a $37 trillion in counting. And you have this one beautiful spending bill that's coming down. And that's going to spend even more money, trillions of dollars. So how do it is the devil's in the details here. Now, if they do it through a tax break, then how do you feel about that? They're spending through a tax break. No, well, if the airdrop is, you know, counting.

Let's say they've collected a billion dollars worth of tariffs. There's a problem with this, though. So then they give everyone a tax break and that the accumulative savings from the tax would equal to what they've achieved through tariffs. You're 10 times too high because they've collected around $100 billion in tariffs. So that's number one. So 100 billion, even if they were to divert this into the debt, It's going to be the proverbial drop in the bucket.

But it's a rounding error, right? It's just basically what they missed on the last. The debt is, forget about that. That's not, it's not, but, but sending out the money to people and what are they going to do with it, pay off bills that has been accumulated by goods. Because there's the trade imbalance between them and China, a lot of money that is being or that people earn gets sent directly to China. China, they keep, you know, you see the new subways that were built. I forget which city they were showcasing it. Just this past week, a beautiful subway system.

And it was well lit, clean, brand new. Well, the money is not sent to China. The money is given to consumers and then consumers buy Chinese made goods because Chinese made goods are cheaper. And that money sloshes around there. And then that... It sloshes around there and it gets taxed and then it's buying. And so essentially there's a circuit.

economy there until that money somehow gets sent out to the point where maybe it gets sent somewhere else to buy energy whatever but during that time they're able to use that to improve services subways get improved and built roads airports shit like that you go to airports in the united states a lot of them are fucking pathetic it's bad roads bridges that right and it's not going to get any better and on top of like i was trying to say with the fucking subways they build hundreds of kilometers of subways over there. Here in Toronto, if we have to build a subway stop for five kilometers,

we have to hum and ha for two decades before we fucking come to the decision. We're going to go ahead with it. That's key there, what you just said there. And now you have people that are suffering. Now you have, I'm going to use Toronto as the example. More people come to the greater Toronto area and Toronto. And the public transit sucks.

You're not building on it. the roads are taxed to its limit and so the people's lives suffer as a result because now they're driving to and from work more time required for that and even for extracurricular activities if they want to go to the ball game or to the bar or even a fucking grocery store

it takes more time to do like everything is just it's impacting negatively people's lives because the money does not stay here and we don't get the benefits of keeping a sloshing around here it gets sent somewhere else So going back to Trump airdropping this money, yeah, that's great. But you know what? This money, a lot of it, chunk of it, is going to end up in Chinese hands.

And it's going to get slashed around there and they're going to be able to improve their ports and all that. It's a lot more complicated than that. And you're not wrong. It's just a lot more complicated. I'm fucking angry. That's what I am. You're angry.

Stimulating the consumer. So if they air drop, give a thousand dollar paycheck to every man, women, and child in the United States, there's going to be lineups at the hair salon, there's going to be lineups like the price of certain things are going to go up. The switch to the price of a secondhand switch two is going to go through the roof. It's going to go to consumer goods, right? And it's it's probably not going to be allocated in the most economically efficient way going forward but they are a tax right like tariffs are a tax so i'm i'm not against giving the the consumer some sort of tax relief based on what they what they paid already right like what they've paid

through these tariffs because that's who pays the tax and torp is saying that that's a pre-gaming the midterm voter of course that that's like we know that we've said that how many times on this show has that come up like Doug Ford every time you know that there's a provincial election coming up when Doug Duggy sends you a stimulus check in the mail right of course they're going to do that so so what would you rather do Lent so they've they've gotten this tariff money what would you rather see them do with that money because I do want to see it go back to the people I just don't know how what's the best way to do it my it just gut instinct is let's tax breaks tax breaks would be a good

option but then on the flip side then you have so many more like they put in this doge thing this department of government efficiency thing and it's supposed to save people a lot of money because yeah it didn't go so well did it Elon's fucking pissed about this whole thing

and rightfully so well it was doomed to fail what does Lin Alden always say? What does Linaldon always say? Who's pulling the strings? This is what I would love to know. It does matter.

It doesn't matter who's pulling the string. It doesn't matter. If you go ahead, nothing stops this train. If there's a narrative, day one, the war with Ukraine is going to be finished. Day one,

I'm going to release the Epstein files. Day one, I'm going to do all their shit. And then you go around and you do the exact, opposite and then this whole big beautiful bill stuff is the exact opposite it's it's not trying to to tighten the the belts here and try to make do with what you have it's like it's it's it's a uniparty right there's almost no divide between this and the other guys

the same shit it doesn't now the only other one is it was a weakened at biden's now this one at least this guy could stand in it on his own two feet and it's just different Different bread and circus. The bread and circus is a little bit different now. Like that, that's all it is. It doesn't matter. And that's where I,

I don't know, does this make me like a black pillar or a white pillar? I don't know. Maybe it's a positive thing. Like, it doesn't matter. None of it matters. Democrat,

Republican, conservative, liberal. It don't matter. So why stress out over it? So I'm not going to like, I just get pissed. I don't get pissed.

I know. I know, I know. I continue to get pissed. it's frustrating but it is it truly is and that's why there's a point in time and say goodbye but i'm done that's where we are this is yeah this is where we are in the situation we are now we're in a period of fiscal dominance right it's it's like what's the what's the thing that the snake that eats its own tail what is that called in the chat somebody help me out what is that called

we all know what i'm talking about right there's like the the the picture of the snake that eats his own tail. That's kind of where we are in the, in the economy right now. The problem is people fucking get heard from all this. And you have more people that are living in cars. I know. I know. I know. I know.

It's just, it's an added strain. It's like more people that are just robbing people's homes. Yes. But it didn't just start with Donald Trump or Biden or Trudeau or No, it's exciting. with all this shit. Of course, but it was going to

accelerate no matter what. Maybe on the edge there'd be like certain little things that this person might be a little bit better that person might be a little bit worse on specific things here and there, but that's just how it is.

Pisidin, is that maybe. The snake is pissed. It's stressed. Don't get pissed now, man. I get pissed and it gets me through the day. Like, you know what? that's the fucking... But we have Bitcoin, right? Bitcoin is the escape from this

nihilism that we all face, right? Like, it's shitty out there. Like, it's really shitty out there. Like, you... I don't know where people... Here's an example. Because Joey talks about these signposts all the time, the buy now, pay later stuff.

Yeah. Right? Like, this is something that is becoming more and more mainstream. The annual transaction volume for these buy now pay later stuff is going to reach a record high this year 116 billion dollars in 2025 it's a 7x from 2022 and the people that are using this i think is because they're trying to carry them to the next paycheck i the sad thing is 25% of all these users are using this buy now pay later stuff for groceries yes for fucking food and not only that the same number of users 25% have missed at least one payment in 2025.

And a problem with this is, if they are the people that bought groceries, it's hard to repossess somebody that shit away the groceries that they bought. Essentially, it's gone at that point. And how many of these people and the growing number of people, how many of these people are homeowners? Probably few. And the ones that are homeowners are probably on the verge. That's all they have is their home, right?

So any bit of, any bit of credit that they can get against their home, they've probably already done that. But it's probably not homeowners. It's probably renters. And they can't get ahead. And guess what happens when you have a society filled of people who can't get ahead? Shit. And you know what's going to happen is they're going to vote a certain person.

Certainly. Of course. And they're going to, they're going to tax those. that you have. That takes us right back to what we were talking about half an hour ago. So if you're a homeowner and if you think that it's going to be, at least in Canada, you could sell it and the sale of a primary residence is not subjected to capital gains. How long is that going to be for now?

Exactly. How long was that going to be? Eventually, you're going to have enough people that, the voters, that outnumber those that do not versus those that do have houses. And so when somebody comes out with an idea, you know what, let's tax the primary residence and it's going to be subjected to capital gains. People that own homes, oh, I don't like it.

It's not a great idea. But if they have fewer numbers than those on the other side of the fence, well, it's democracy and that's the way, you know. So eventually it's going to be, if you own a house or some people call it a liability, it's great now, especially for primary to residents, but I don't know for how much longer. It could be for a few more years.

well we're already kind of seeing with all the car theft right like car theft is a function of this as well too right oh look at that person with a nice new car i can steal from him fuck fuck that guy with the new car right it's it's that's not a great that's not a good thing in a society to have this type of stuff it's so tarp is asking if home is your largest acid or you even going to make it i think it all depends on when they purchased the house. So there's a lot of people that purchased it 20 years ago. And I think that just because of the way things are in Canada, the demand of homes and shit like that, I think that that is the majority of their wealth is associated with their house. It could be now worth $1.5.2 million. And I don't think their Bitcoin allotment, their TFSAs or RSP are greater than that just my two cents it also depends where your house is right and and that's not just for talking about like land value that that's not what I'm talking about I'm talking about like the social value of owning owning a home and Joey talks about this all the time about like that very tough

to quantify what that means so if your biggest asset is your house but you're in a community that you love and that you are a part of your community and you are an integrated part of your community, you probably are going to make it because unless your community really changes, then you might not make it.

But there's that special sauce that you can't really quantify. Yeah. There's one thing about owning your own house and having the freedom of doing what you want with your own house, there is something to do to be said about that. But on the flip side,

they're making it harder and harder for to come up with a strong justification to continually own a house over a long enough period of time. And still you have to live somewhere. I say, like you can't live in your Bitcoin. But I don't know. In some cases, renting and being transient gets you a lot of options. But you have to have the means to do that. And not everybody who's blessed, right?

So. And speaking of owning a house, I renewed my mortgage two weeks ago. And like one of the one of the things that I, I don't regret it. But in hindsight, what I probably should have done is the last time I renewed my mortgage, I probably should have taken out a home equity line of credit and bought Bitcoin. So knowing that, I applied for a home equity line of credit this time when I did my mortgage renewal. lend you know how much money they just were willing to give me

don't even say it because it's going to be dependent I think of how much percentage of the house you own right like home equity I think it's dependent on like how much so don't get into specifics because you don't have to but it was just ridiculous and and I left that meeting with the mortgage broker who was perfectly nice if she's watching this

like she was great she was fine I got they want to drain the equity out of your house they want you to borrow as much money as you possibly can

like to keep you in this oh they see yeah like it I'm like you're offering me how much money like why?

It's like a fucking vampire I would never blood yeah somebody put in the chat like a helock is handy for it yeah it is that's why I decided to do it

Like, I'm just, well, just in case, you know, if there's a dip in Bitcoin, not financial advice, but looking back on it last time, I should have got a HELOC and bought the dip. Yeah. But the idea of that they want us in debt all the time. So even if you do own your house, if you own your, let's say you own your house and let's say you've done, you've done everything right, you've paid off a good chunk of your mortgage, and then you go to renew your mortgage and then the bank throws money at you at some HELOC. and you're not responsible enough

and you max out that home equity line of credit, you're fucked. Yeah, and they'll be happy to... They're happy to refinance your mortgage to ensure that you have the maximum coverage, the maximum duration, so they could just suck the fucking blood out of you every fucking month

because the people over there, they know that historically the price of homes go up and people don't want to get out once they're in. People want to stay there. and they're house poor and they're just stuck and they want you to be even more house poor because the more house

the more house poor you are the more the less freedom you have right the more afraid you are yeah that Torva Singh give them the home walk away with a whole Bitcoin worth way more yeah

gotta live somewhere the problem is if you just just walk away from a home. It screws up your credit here in Canada and then good luck renting somewhere else. It's just you're stuck and it's just fucking sucks. Now, if you're going to get the fuck out, then it's a different story. Pay your bills and if you're going to go in debt, if you're going to use like some sort of debt instrument,

if you're in a fortunate position to be able to have those available to you, be irresponsible. I don't even go as far as don't even fucking borrow. fuck it just use your extra every week every two weeks whatever the fuck it is and just buy from that going into debt ain't worth it you get wrecked in the end probably we could we could buy bitcoin now and then the bank decides to close their accounts we could continually buy so i would just say just do your weekly buy your every two week buy dca what a fuck you do and just keep stacking If rates change

You don't have any extra debt You still probably have your mortgage And whatever else At least you don't even add into that Because you know what rates are going to probably Still go down for the time being But then eventually it'll go back up And

Fuck it I don't want to get into that Let's finish this segment off Some cheerful I hope Yeah We need to cheer you up Len And I'm fucking always angry You're mad

Very angry Yeah I'm So let's do the The Brampton Man but you know what it's going to be a little bit different because you're in Ottawa you have a Brampton man

versus an Ottawa man but Joey's not here I'll make it a three-way dance we'll throw in even a Hamilton man into this whole next year so I'm going to give you three different stories you tell me which one of these

is the Brampton man the Hamilton man or the Ottawa man okay number one all right there was a theft the police noted a huge escalation in the theft of butter

and ghee from local grocery stores. There's a hint. Hang on, it gets even better. With over 180 reported incidents, they say that $60,000 worth of butter and ghee was stolen. And

ghee apparently has a very high resale value and it possesses an excellent shelf life. So it makes it, it's an attractive target for thieves. and they suspected that this was being funneled to the black market like supplying restaurants, catering services or individuals seeking to purchase these essential ingredients

at a discounted rate. Do you think everybody that's listening to this right now knows what Ghee is? Because I don't think like eight months ago I knew what Ghee was. Like I just happened to know now, but like I don't think I used to. All right. So there we go.

So that's the Ghee story. And apparently three guys were nabbed. And yeah. Do I get names? Names of these? No names. No names. Okay.

Second story. We got this. Okay. Lute act on the bus. And this suspect, it's very similar to last week's story, but this suspect was exposing himself to fellow passengers, and he was proceeding to perform sexual acts on the bus. And it was during broad daylight, too, nonetheless. It wasn't on the night bus.

This guy was just doing in the middle of the day on public transit. And, you know, it's a confined space. Fusses are not very big. And you know what? A lot of trauma to witnesses. And people were very disturbed about this. And actually, police released a description of the suspect and urged anybody to come forward with information, South Asian, East Indian man, Ruby 20s, blah, blah.

Oh, yeah. That's a twist. That is a twist. Third one, we got this man, 28-year-old, and he was arrested after attempting to steal public art and with the art a giant inflatable rubber duck.

It wasn't any duck. It was a 20 foot tall brightly colored mascot named Quackzilla. And allegedly, the guy that stole it was under the influence and he was so fucked up he tried to drag this tethered guy,

this tethered fucking duck into a nearby body of water, claiming he was quote, liberating it for the ducks of the world. Witnesses were reporting that he was shouting about duck rights and attempting to paddle away with it on a stolen canoe

before the police intervene. That's the most Canadian story I've ever heard. We have the stolen butter and ghee. We have the guy that was whacking him walking off again on the bus and the third

the inflatable duck being stolen. Now, which is I'm not very confident in this because you that you put there was a twist yeah there was there was some twists in there

I'm still going to go the first one Brampton Guy Brampton that's your choice yeah okay so that's going to be that and then I'm going to go to the second one Hamilton so the guy stroking himself again Hamilton's the second

week in a row Hamilton stroking okay yeah then the third of these and the duck i've never seen a duck i live in ottawa i've never seen that big duck but like i i'm not but there's lots of bodies of water here yeah there and there's a lot of people that would like do crazy things for duck rights in this town and canoes i i see people in canoes all the time so that kind of makes sense even though i don't i've never seen this this duck so so lock it in that's my final answer all right well i hope people playing at home have locked in their answers as well, because this isn't a game just for us over here to play. This is a commutative game, so I hope everybody has decided to pick their choices, what they are.

First one, the Ghee, definitely Brampton. Three guys, Vasch, sorry, Vasvijit Singh, Sukmander Singh, and Dalwal Sadu. We're all charged for doing their thing with that. So yes, they were that. second one the guy stroking himself the southeast south asian east indian was ottawa oh yes so he was not i don't know if it was on which train

wasn't the one i take into work and the third one is the guy with the rubber duck hamilton man he was trying to take that to lake ontario and try to liberate it what a fucking world we live in now if it came over here from abroad and it claimed asylum maybe we would be able to give it a hotel or something along those lines was it a rainbow duck it didn't say but you know if it wasn't it missed the opportunity right it would have had an you know again it would did you hear that canada is trying to recruit

asylum seekers from the LGBT community. Have you heard about this or no? Yeah, I heard about this. Yeah. So interesting stuff that's being done. I'll leave it at that. We have some good wishes for Joey in the chat. So, yeah, I hope he's doing better.

So Joey's Achilles was a thing. that's that's like 2023 meta right when joey joey's achilles the guy in the chat that we call themselves joey's achilles there's two of them there's joey's achilles and joey's acel yeah joey's acel is the new one right no it's a rehash of an old one oh shit yeah so we used to get uh messages to boostograms from Joey's ACL. I don't know what happened to him, right? He's not doing it anymore. He's busted.
