Starting point is 00:00:00 Great stuff. Okay, quick ad, BTC mentor. If you want Ben and his team to help you figure out a proper way to secure your Bitcoin and actually white glove you through some difficult decisions about inheritance, insurance, all these different things. Ben's got you. Go to BTC Mentor. We have a link in the description. You get a couple bucks off, I think.
Starting point is 00:00:17 I don't know exactly what the deal is, but good service. Long time running now and very well reviewed. Okay. So, Tuesday's going to be an awesome day, right? We only have 8 p.m. Tuesday, I think it is. And I'm wondering, people wondering, it's not like March madness or a good, a good game that's being going to be.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I think the national championships tonight, actually. I forgot. Oh, even better. Let's fucking get rid of this and then we go to the real. No distractions. Right. No, man, I'm a power plant guy, right?
Starting point is 00:00:48 I'm a bridge dude, right? Like, it's all, it's about time that these fucking fine pieces of engineering get their time in the sun. I'm not talking a nuclear one, nuclear hot one, but it's time that that they finally get, showing that these things are needed.
Starting point is 00:01:02 I've said it so many times, Joey, that 45 is greater than 47. Usually those numbers don't, not the case, but promise so many things. Remember? But I'm asking now, with that being said, I think it's time to fucking open up Fort Knox, Gold Vault.
Starting point is 00:01:19 You crazy bastards, you're going to be living in Fiat hell if you don't fucking do it. Let's get this. You don't believe me, just watch. Praise B to Satoshi. Let's get this. fucking thin gun. This war
Starting point is 00:01:32 is turning to be a huge fucking mess. I'm not sure if you're looking at it and saying Trump is looking strong. But from my vantage point, fuck, he is looking really weak. Granted, they were able to do a lot in say Venezuela, but it's not a
Starting point is 00:01:50 capture Maduro situation. It's not a choke off Cuba story. Iran runs surprisingly a more of a decentralized government. You know, the Supreme Leader got whacked. Yeah. Craziness still continues over there.
Starting point is 00:02:04 They also whack the lead negotiator for that side now. They just keep going to have that right. They killed them. I mean, BB's a man on a mission, right? Like, if you had any doubts about the savagery this guy is capable of before this war, like I didn't know anything about this whole like Israel, Iran, bloodlust. But my God, this has been wild to watch, you know, on TV over the last month or so. The only way to win, I think, is a total regime change.
Starting point is 00:02:27 You can't have. status quo over there and come on and say we won he doesn't even want it it sounds like he doesn't even want it well i don't know what he's trying to achieve here aside from telling them they'll put up the straight of her moves which right's mind they're going to let in the let through their select customers go through and there may be a toll on top of that yeah and now you're coming up will there be boots in the ground i think that's what is coming out to they had kind of temporarily boots on the ground when they set up that temporary base to rescue that two guys, which I'm still kind of, I don't know if the second guy was rescued.
Starting point is 00:03:07 As far as I know, they're still looking for him like a day ago. It's the Iran war, and it is a war, by the way, regardless of what the U.S. press tells you, they are at war. This has been a complete debacle. I just want to point, if you haven't listened already to the Scott Horton interview from like a month ago, if you want to listen to a guy who has his nose to the grindstone and his ear to the pavement and has become basically a fortune teller as far as he ran, go listen to that interview. He had that right.
Starting point is 00:03:37 He said this is going to last way too long. He said he was convinced by Netanyahu to do some things he shouldn't have been doing. And, you know, I was listening to him talk on Tom Woods' show yesterday or two days ago. And he said, you know, if you thought it was bad so far, just wait until the U.S. tells you that the key element of the operation is actually getting the enriched hexafluoride out of the ground. And to do that, the U.S. is going to go into Iran. They're going to go into the, I think a city that's like a little bit southwest of Tehran. They're going to capture the city.
Starting point is 00:04:14 They're going to bring in guys on planes. Those guys are going to build an airport and a runway in that city. and then they're going to land C-130 U.S. military aircrafts with earth-moving equipment to go underground and grab enriched hexafluoride. I can't remember. It's not sulfur hexafluoride. Something else hexafluoride, part of the uranium enrichment,
Starting point is 00:04:39 the weapons enrichment process. He thought when he said that that it was crazy because it does sound crazy, doesn't it? And then yesterday or two days ago, guess who went on TV? some U.S. General and laid out exactly that plan for the next phase of the war if they put boots on the ground over there. And by the way, to quote, to quote I think Daryl Cooper, who's also been talking with Scott about this, if you look at the number of troops and carriers and equipment and just military prowess that's suddenly in that area, you don't bring a bunch of dogs around that much red meat for that long and then not let them at it. there's going to be boots on the ground over there at some point.
Starting point is 00:05:24 And Trump, as far as like a political career, is done. One of the best theories I've heard as to why he's doing this, Len, is because he looks at the rehabilitation of the reputations of guys like George W. Bush and says, man, you know, people hated that guy for basically his entire presidency. And then he did one thing that the Warhawks and neocons and the A-Pact types wanted him to do. And now he's a cute old man painting pictures after his time as the commander-in-chief. He's the guy that everyone remembers fondly for a couple of verbal gaffs on the microphone. These guys can really rehabilitate your image.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And if you want to talk about legacy, then the New York Times is an institution you need to get on the good side of. And maybe you do that via a war of this nature. It's been a disaster for people who were plan followers, right? Plan trusters. There's no plan. This guy got co-opted by Netanyahu, got co-opted by his worst impulse. The people around him's worst impulses. And it's a mess.
Starting point is 00:06:41 You know, I think they're significantly understanding the deaths now as well. There's reports that it's actually 700 or more Americans who've died since the beginning of that work. The Israel Iron Dome has proven to be basically unusable in situations like this. And Iran, in my view, is going to take this to its logical end, which unfortunately is probably a nuclear weapon. If they get pushed so far into a corner that they feel that they can't continue to defend themselves. Why would they not? That's a religious, you know, it's a theocratic regime. I just don't see it ending any other way.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Not that I'm on polymarket betting on that outcome, but man, does it seem way more likely today than it did even a month ago that this is the outcome? By the way, I just want to remind people that in the summer of last year, when they went into Iran and bombed what they said were nuclear facilities and eliminated their nuclear capability, those were the words they used, eliminated the nuclear capability. They were no longer a threat. if you want to know how easy it is to convince
Starting point is 00:07:43 boomers of anything and everything using TV and news media now they're talking about how Iran is still a nuclear threat. You know, if you go on the White House website, the messaging about them having no nuclear capabilities from a year ago is still there. They don't give a fuck, man. They can say anything they want on TV
Starting point is 00:08:01 and everybody who is a certain political stripe will believe it. And the best thing is that neocons and warhawks cross the political aisle. They are. They are the unit party. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. The Colin Powell story, right?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Exactly. Yeah. The only way they could achieve anything like that would be is if they get a lot of help from friends. And I'm looking at North Korea. What does Iran have that North Korea wants? Yeah. They probably have a lot, right, in terms of energy, in terms of natural gas and oil. Where do you come down on the straight?
Starting point is 00:08:35 The straight is the interesting, you know, sort of like pivot point here. right? Because now they're basically saying in the U.S., we don't care if it's open or not. We don't need it. If you want to open it, open it yourself. That's challenging because with the Houthis coming into the game, the Red Sea becomes maybe another choke point that's closed off. And Saudi Arabia, I don't know how they bring their energy to market. They're using pipelines to divert what should have been sent just through the Strait of Pormuz. They're sending a portion of what they normally send out through the Red Sea. and if the Houthis are not going to be blocking off
Starting point is 00:09:11 anything that's going to be going out into the ocean then fuck, this is going to be a real problem. But the problem is ones that are reliant everybody's going to feel it. Let's be honest. Everyone's going to feel the hit here. But the ones that are heavily reliant on Middle Eastern oil, where do they get it from?
Starting point is 00:09:30 They don't. They don't. It takes a long time to send a ship over to refineries in Houston to pick up boil and bring it back home. Look at the things they're saying too. A lot of modern governments are saying stuff like, well, if we had just
Starting point is 00:09:46 done more to build out our green infrastructure, we wouldn't have to worry about. Like, these guys don't care. They're retarded. All these like green zealots view this has an opportunity to impose climate austerity on productive people. It's a shame to watch it happen. But it's just so predictable every single
Starting point is 00:10:04 time something like this goes on, you know. And it's not going to stop the sad reality. is it's going to stop you from having the ability to fill up your tank. Yeah. Because it's either not available or it's too costly to do so. And you'll still see these motherfuckers get on a jet, fly off somewhere nice. And then we're having meetings. We're doing MOUs.
Starting point is 00:10:25 We're doing shit like, fuck off. You know what I mean? Like I understand what's going on. You do a lot of these trips into cold months. So you can enjoy nice time in a hot spot while we fucking breeze our ass off, but rationing, heating oil and electricity and so forth. course because crazy crazy a heat bump in every house like avie lewis nDP leader our comrade avie says you know just completely retarded all these people oh my god man oh my god the skyrocketing demand
Starting point is 00:10:53 for food banks sad sad story is causing food banks to reduce services and food portions to people going there for help. And they say the food banks, the usage is surging. No, duh. Yeah. But there's another thing that we don't seem to talk about a lot. We haven't is that there's a massive dip in donations in both food and cash. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:22 So you're feeling it from both ends of the spectrum. And some food banks are coming to grips that they are forcing people to only use their services, they're limiting them one a month, one time a month visits. Where do people go if they have no ability to eat? If the food bank says, you only get one day a month,
Starting point is 00:11:47 you'll come in here, one visit a month. I'm right, one day, it's one visit a month. And why is this, you know, high cost living, they're saying, it's continually outpacing the wages and government income supports,
Starting point is 00:12:01 which is going to probably be increased in the next little, while. Literally anything but the truth from these people, by the way, is the core cause of their issues with the pressures they're experiencing. So, anyway, continue. So nearly a quarter of food banks have run out of supplies entirely. We're coming to a point where something's in a crack.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Is there a group of people making videos on how to scam food bank? Do you have any idea? That's adding to the problem, right? You have people that are doing that where the food should be legitimately going to people that need it. And it's not. It's going to people so they could somehow make money as a result of that. And also make a viral video.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Like, fuck that, man. It's crazy. It's actually just the world we live in. And it just goes to show you, there was a stat that came out today. It was a hundred and twenty two thousand people left Canada that are engineers, doctors. And it was just in the past of the while. 245 year olds highest quintile earners or at least potential.
Starting point is 00:13:02 lifetime earners gone. They're prime earning potential right now. They left. They pick up and left. And what do we replace it with? You'll see what the... Villagers driving Uber and molesting women on the TTC. That's who we replaced it with.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Just say it. We have to start saying it. We can't take any more third world parasites. We cannot. People who are protesting Kalesstani nonsense in Toronto, send them all the fuck back home. People who are committing crimes of lust in the streets.
Starting point is 00:13:31 send them all the fuck back home. People who are robbing food banks, send them all the fuck back home. People who are hiring only people from their diaspora once they get a job at Burger King through LMA and TFW scams, send them all the fuck back home. That is going to become the moderate position,
Starting point is 00:13:51 as I've said on this show, many times. The thing that comes next is very uncomfortable to talk about. But it will come. people simply will not put up with this. The actual best part about this is even if I'm wrong, everyone who's productive will leave and you'll turn into even more of a rundown, ran through resource colony for the British than you already are.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Period. And the story. I'm announcing today, Land, that I've looked into finally moving to another jurisdiction. Very nice. The beginnings of a plan. Yeah. Very nice. And this is all in the wake of Canada changing immigration.
Starting point is 00:14:30 laws or citizenship laws. And you're able now to pass citizenship generation. Oh, fuck. Anybody can, anybody. If you've ever watched a team Canada hockey game, you can become a citizen, I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:14:40 You've got to be able to name one Canadian hockey player. That's it. Not as challenging as that, but they've done that while other countries stop that very same practice. Yeah. It's funny to see that they're doing it and
Starting point is 00:14:54 others are shutting doors. We're not, we're not a sovereign country. Tucker, Tucker says it best. We've never been a sovereign country. We are a colony of the British. We always will be. And it shows, you know, it shows. We do whatever they want anytime they ask.
Starting point is 00:15:07 And it's to our own detriment 100% of the time. This country has gone so far downhill in the last 20 years. And it's just been a free fall in the last five. Front of the show, Rich Diaz, fighting the good fight on Twitter, still the liberal, you know, intelligentsia, quote-tweeting charts that show. our productivity is at an all-time stagnation, isn't an all-time stagnation period, if not decline. And these idiots are tweeting stuff out like, yeah, but look at the personal debt to GDP of America compared to Canada. It's so much better. And Rich is out there saying you're using net debt still, idiot. Like, if you stop including the pension assets and the personal wealth
Starting point is 00:15:52 of every Canadian individual, the calculation gets a lot worse. But these retarded communists on Twitter, you know, the Canadian intelligentsia, the academic, The academics and other fucking retards are saying dumbest shit constantly. They never fucking stop. They never stop saying dumb shit. And it's funny. You know, Easter, obviously it was Easter this weekend. A lot of my in-laws and my family as well are liberal voters and left-leaning.
Starting point is 00:16:18 A lot of quiet this weekend. A lot of quiet. Then not a lot of blame on Trump. They're saying that he's the cause of all this. I think, I think there's, I think it's popular still in the, lower tier, you know, the low resolution liberal supporter. But I think people who are objective and have been around a while are starting to see like, this is not all Trump's fault. Some of this is self-imposed. It's just, it's magnified under what Trump is doing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:47 He's not helping matters. That's to be perfectly honest. But he's not the sole problem. Not even in the top five. He's not even the top five causes. But the good news is, People talk about tariffs all the time, but they don't realize that Kuzma protected us from 95% of the tariffs that he wanted to put on. Like, you think it's bad now? Wait till the summer. Okay. Wait till he doesn't care about the straight of Hormuz. Wait till you find out how little he cares about Kuzma.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Wait till you find out how small a fucking pimple on the ass of the American elephant you are. And we're meeting our NATO obligations, which is good. Because you track. Yeah. Yeah, so you just skew the numbers. Me and Mark were just talking about this. Me and Mark were out getting pizza and having a laugh at the celebratory theme on the news there before the Ontario budget released. And they're like, oh, Canada, meeting and state obligations.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I'm pretty sure GDP is down, right? It's down like 0.4% or 0.3. It doesn't matter how you achieve it. It's just the fact you get it. It's not fucking big. It's a matter. Yeah, I can dunk it now. I lowered the rim to six feet.
Starting point is 00:17:52 I'm not very confident. He's a ladder. Yeah, I use the latter. Let's do this last story about Made in BC. And an interesting story, Miriam Lancaster, she's an 83 old woman that lives in BC. She went to the ER at Vancouver General Hospital in late March of 2026. And she did so because she was waking up with unusual pain that left her unable to walk.
Starting point is 00:18:21 So 83 years old, difficult walking makes sense. go to the fucking emerge and see what the hell's going on. So they admitted her and the very first person, the medical person to question her, this was a young doctor, asked her if she was interested in made as a treatment option. Treatment. It's a treatment, all right? You're not going to feel any pain after that. No diagnosis needed this fucking went straight to the fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:18:45 So yeah, obviously she didn't. She ended up getting treated through, get this, standard bed rest and pain management. He's since recovered. They told her to take a break and have some Tylenol instead of killing her. Just relax. And then, yeah, she's now able to travel and stuff like that. The pictures of her.
Starting point is 00:19:03 She's like on top of mountains, like hiking. She's climbing. She should be fucking six feet under if you listen to that fucking doctor. Good on her for not fucking listening to that. I hope she lives for another, well, a bunch of years. Me too. And she lives a great full life. That's fucking brutal.
Starting point is 00:19:20 The fact that they're giving this as a first option. No diagnosis. I want to. try and find out this woman's contact info and talk to her. I want to bring her on the show. She seems like such a cheerful lady and I would love to just talk to her for half an hour and release this episode. I think it would be great. I'll never be able to find it. But, you know, if anyone knows her, like, hit me up. You guys know how to get a hold of me. Can't your buddy Mike get over the heat? Mike Campbell, maybe. He's probably, he actually talked
Starting point is 00:19:47 about it on the show last week, I think. I'm pretty sure on Sunday he talked about it. So, yeah, funny. Everyone's kind of thinking about this stuff. Yeah, the thing is kind of a total joke, obviously. Talking to a few people who are friends of this program about some changes in the way made is reported, it's not going to be allowed to be used on debt certificates anymore. What's the number? Like one of the 20 deaths in Canada? I don't know exactly the number. Something like that. It's one in 20. I, listen, I'm not as big a maid truther as everyone else is. Like, if you are, if you are terminally ill or old, your quality of life is decreasing quite a bit, like, I get it. You want to do made. That's fine. If the number of people who ask for that,
Starting point is 00:20:24 who have terminal illness is 1 and 20, okay. But I need to know more about what you're calling terminal illness. And if it's just depression or depression or let's say it's even if it was something more serious, right? Like even if it was some kind of terminal like cancer or whatever, the question isn't like do you want made? The question is like how much longer can you enjoy a high quality of life and did you get the opportunity to say yes to that?
Starting point is 00:20:48 That's what I want to know. Were you allowed to receive treatment until you're made, for example? Or did you just have to wait with nothing besides, you know, some T3s and a bottle of rye until it was your D-Day? Like these things are, these are questions that are difficult to find data on. It seems to me like instead of radical transparency around a radical policy, we're getting the opposite. It's increased, you know, opacity, opacity, whatever the pronunciation of that word is. It's much more difficult to find out key parts of these stories, right? And if this woman didn't share her story, she would have just been another part of the statistic, right?
Starting point is 00:21:21 And I don't know what's more egregious, but the story is like this or in the like five years ago or a little bit more people dying alone in hospitals because they weren't allowed to see with the loved ones. Imagine your last few moments. You're just alone, cold womb with nobody there. And that's, I don't know what's worse. They both suck. It's hard to say. This is the reality of it. The COVID thing was crazy.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Like my grandfather died at the tail end of COVID. Not the tail end, actually. He died in 21. He died in, do you die in 21? No, he died in, yeah, he died in the, at the end of 2020 of a, it was like a, is a order, I think, or he had like a blood vessel or blood, whatever, an issue. He had just had, he had quadruple bypass, or double bypass, I should say, my brother are quadruple bypass.
Starting point is 00:22:13 He had double bypass probably seven years earlier and ended up with like a lot of back pain, couldn't figure out what the back pain was. And it got pretty bad one day. And he called my brother and my brother, you know, called 911. And it turned out he had a broken artery or something. Arteries word I'm looking for. And they couldn't do anything for him. He's 94 years old, almost 94 years old.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Live the great life. When my brother, my brother was at their house when the ambulance came because they, you know, he lived close by. And so he, you know, was there like helping my Nona, helping my grandpa. They're not native English speakers, although they worked, you know, here. my grandfather worked at Stelko for 35 or 40 years. So spoke English enough. But as most elderly people, I think, would agree, not that many watch this show. In times of crisis, especially when you're there with your partner who also speaks a different language, the tendency is to go back to that language.
Starting point is 00:23:06 And so my brother and I speak just enough Italian to understand what they're saying and pass that message onto a paramedic. And we've done it a number of times over the years for them. Anyway, paramedic gets there. First thing he says is we have to assume this is COVID. And my brother passed that on to me and passed it on to my dad was not a great scene at the hospital, apparently, when they tried to basically pin this on COVID and put it on their death certificate and all this other stuff. And it's like, how many other people went through that, you know, who had a problem that was something that wasn't a concern as far as like contagiousness, contagion and had to die alone, like you said? My grandfather was lucky. You know, my dad and his brothers are well to do and are able to navigate the system.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And so they were able to be there with him during his final moments, as was my grandmother. Difficult anyways. But you can't imagine if you're my grandmother who's been doing all the right things, you know, and then your partner of 60 something years passes away rather suddenly. Let's face it. I mean, you're old. You don't know when it's going to happen. But I'm sure it felt sudden to her.
Starting point is 00:24:11 It felt sudden to all of us. and then to be told that COVID is to blame and you can't be around him in his final moments. And then, you know, the funeral. Even worse, the funeral, the funeral home tried to impose these six feet nonsense on the. Oh, the number of people too. It's not just a six feet. Yeah, I'll tell you what. I won't say which funeral home.
Starting point is 00:24:33 You can guess which one. And you can guess which cemetery too. We blew through both of them. And those people, to their credit, were very understanding of the situation. we're way over any illegal capacity and way past any expectation of social distancing in both cases at the funeral, the funeral home and eventually the burial. Yeah. I think I think I had with the.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Yeah. I mean, I recommend people. I mean, you're Italian. I'm Italian. If you're an Italian listening to this show and you ever want to have a good funeral experience, you know, as good as one can be, there are funeral homes that will help you with that. And I would just, I'm happy to recommend one or two that. I've, you know, had experience with over the years that are really, really good and understanding
Starting point is 00:25:14 and are willing to stick it to the man when it counts. Anyway, we're going to go to Brampton Hamilton Man. Yeah, brought to you by 256 heat where we're on a bit of a hot streak. We're hitting multiple blocks today. Have you noticed that? No. Oh, we're hitting multiple blocks a day. So it feels good. This is probably the fastest I'll get to my withdrawal threshold, I think, since I've had the heater, which is wicked. If you haven't gotten one yet, Tuan, our guy, I was just reading a private chat that we have. I think Twan is going to come on the show with Corey at some point to talk about some stuff going on in Montreal in the not too distant future, which is going to be awesome. And I have word that Twan will be doing as well a fairly large demonstration at this year's Bitcoin conference.
Starting point is 00:25:53 So if you're in the Toronto area in October, come by, come see him. And why wait till then? Why not just buy one now? Especially because it's this down season, you could probably haggle with them if you want. I don't recommend it. I don't know what Twan is like haggling with. But if you use our code, you could probably save yourself to haggling. You just get the discount and start mining while you're heating your house today 256eatcom give them uh give him a buzz i got a couple of interesting stories uh number one else is new nothing new there yeah kingston cops i know it's kingston but it's still going to be either one of the two that they dealt with asked for a man for his license and the dude showed them his Costco card
Starting point is 00:26:32 so please see a man was being investigated for impaired driving it in kingston uh because You know, he was being erratic. And so when it stopped, officers asked for his driver's license, and he presented a Costco card. Investigators say witnesses called police around midnight and Sunday because the vehicle crashed into a car while parked. And the driver then stumbled away from the scene using nearby walls for support. You know the guy's fucking hammered when.
Starting point is 00:26:59 He can't fucking stand up. It's Tiger Woods. It sounds like Tiger Woods. So officers located a man standing at a corner nearby and say the witness identified him as a person who left the accident and then asked for the license, pulled up the Costco card, eventually he was able to find his license and give it up. So a 42-year-old man charged with impaired driving after the breath test indicated his blood alcohol level was two times over the legal limit and he was suspended for driving for 90 days.
Starting point is 00:27:25 So yeah, his Costco card is not going to be giving him the privilege to drive on the road even though he thought it. You only get a 90-day suspension for being twice the legal limit? That's automatic suspension. So who knows what's going to happen beyond that? There may be a court case that takes his license. in a way. But, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Got that story. So second one, we got a man wanted after investigator, sorry, investor, not investigator, investor tricked into transferring $200,000 in an alleged fraud. So a man is wanted after he got somebody to invest $200,000 in a fraudulent trucking and transportation business. And please say the man launched this back in January and he told the investor that he would receive $1 million in a banking loan and claimed that he had multiple contracts in place for transportation services with multiple business.
Starting point is 00:28:16 And the suspect convinced the victim to transfer $200,000 in funds to assist with a business startup. So it is a bright new idea going to do transportation and blah, blah, blah. 35 year old turned out to be full of shit. And it turned out that all the business contracts were fraudulent and he had no business loan and that was issued. So he was just basically trying to fish for money and got $200,000. Eventually he was caught and charged with, well, you know, the regular shit.
Starting point is 00:28:47 So there he is. I mean, this is too easy, right? The trucking guy. Ah, yeah. The Costco card, though. I kind of like that. Yeah, I do like that. But there is a Costco in Brampton, a big one.
Starting point is 00:29:01 There is multiple in Hamilton. Yeah. So that's why one could simply just pop. that out. The trucking one, yeah, that's more indicative of one community than the other. But you know, that's quite a scam, $200,000. Who has that kind of money just sitting around? Some other Brampton man, maybe. I'm going to go with the Brampton man as the trucking guy. All right. You're correct. I know. I knew. You tried throw me off the scent there. I know. So yeah, I could tell you his name. Sure. It's Sahil Thakur, age 35. The best.
Starting point is 00:29:33 And yeah, he's got the earrings, the whole nine yards. Good for him, nice chain around his neck, gold chain. He's a baller this dude. Amazing. There's going to be eventually a big reckoning with these like transport and trucking companies the same way there was for realtors, like all these baller realtors who are driving, you know, a hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, like, and they're just like selling houses to immigrants to TFWs basically living 50 to a house.
Starting point is 00:30:00 It's not going to last forever, boys. It's a good move. You put 50 in the house. They pay it off. They go to the next one and keep doing. And eventually they have a bunch of houses under their names. Yeah. It does work.
Starting point is 00:30:12 It does work. Yeah. It's sketchy. We have to ban it. It should be banned. And you know, you don't want to be the person number 10 going to the bathroom after the spicy meal was fed. You don't want to be the next door neighbor either. Or the neighbor.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Yeah. What a fucking disaster. Hey. Not ours to deal with soon. It looks like. Yeah. No problem. No problem.
Starting point is 00:30:33 We're out of here. Yeah, good talking to you. Good seeing you guys. Thanks for coming to the stream. Surprisingly well attended here, actually, given that we're doing in the middle of the day. We'll be back at the normal time next week. So have no fear. Until then, yeah, Monday night?
