Oh, man, I'm mad, I'm mad. I'm mad. You watch any football on the weekend or what? Oh, tons. Yeah, you know, you're a big sportsball guy. Yeah. We're talking about soccer, right? NFL and college, both running tonight too, actually.

I'll be watching some of that while I cut up this show for sure. Last game of the wild card round. I can't quit football. I'm stuck, buddy. I'm not going anywhere. Because of betting? Is it because of pressure, pure pressure? I don't bet.

I just like watching the game. You're one of the few. Another person who's one of the few is Donald Trump. He is very unique. Totally. One in a million. So he says he's going to want to try to limit credit card rates to 10% choice. Yeah.

Yeah. He wants to make life more affordable out there for Americans. He's saying they're getting ripped off. by companies like Visa and American Express. And rest in peace to those who are invested in those companies. I'm curious, what happened to the stock price today? I'll tell you how all those stocks reacted immediately on the news. Citigroup down 4%, Chase down 3, MX down 5, B.OA down 2, Visa down 2, Massa down 2.

Not as bad as I thought it could have been. No, agreed. Rebounded or just the market didn't really care. too much about this. But either way, 10%, this is not financial advice, maybe you've got an opportunity

to max your credit card and buy some Bitcoin. Something to consider. And so this is, you know, credit card companies, maybe they've been gouging for some time, right?

But going to 10%, it's going to make it hard for them to do business the way they're doing it right now. Yeah. You know, they have clients out there, deadbeat customers who are not fucking paying. And so that's why they're charging these high rates so that they could potentially make more than what they lose. Those deadbeats, if this 10% comes into reality, those deadbeats are going to have to be told to pound sand because they're probably not going to get a credit card. They're not credit worthy.

That's a huge, huge thing for American GDP, by the way. No, there's another thing they could do because I could see these credit card companies being very creative in dealing it so they can't charge 10% on the fees. They could say, okay, we'll give you a credit card and it will only have a $2,000 limit but you have to have an annual fee of $500.

I'll give you a credit card, $7,000 annual limit, annual fee, $800. And they can do shit like it, they can scale it up. They can't really, they can't really because Trump lobbied against that policy when Biden... Did he really? He lobbied against having a cap

on credit card fees and other banking fees. I didn't know that. These guys... So he's... To find something somewhere. Yeah, maybe. One thing they are not is dumb.

They will find a way somehow... It's only a one-year cap anyway, so... Oh, it's going to be very popular amongst the... Oh, yeah. On your cap. Oh, yeah. Midterms.

And then we... Wasn't this a Bernie Sanders type idea way back when? the Democrats say you can't shit on this right so cheap credit for everybody yeah wonderful credit card debt is at all-time highs right now um like i don't know what percentage GDP is on american consumer credit cards but i got to imagine it's like 20 percent 15 percent something like that it's a high number and so trump is trying to get you know a GDP up to four or five this year. It's doable, but it's going to be hard to do it if your best spenders don't have access to credit. And that's what your best, your best spenders are the ones that are the riskiest,

right? Like, that's just the way it goes. People, the widget enjoyers, as we used to say, right? So it's, uh, yeah, it's a little bit of a different calculation for him now. I guess he's in office. And by the way, this goes, you know what this, this should tell you. He, he likes to talk. Trump, I'm discussing now, Trump likes to talk about how he is the every man's president, but clearly he believes that he has left them behind in some regards, because some of the policies he's touting now are really geared toward the sort of, I don't want to call them least fortunate, but the bottom of the K, you know, let's call it that, the bottom of the K-shaped economy.

And whether it's no more income tax under a certain level because of the tariffs or capping credit card rates, or whatever. It's clear that he thinks he's lost some of that base that came out for him last year or two years ago, I guess at this point. Time is flying. Oh, my God.

Two years ago, I would say that this is probably going to stick if they do it for a year, because who wants to pay more than that? And, you know, you know what else it does? It kind of breaks up the price-fixing thing that these guys like to do, right? What is a bank credit card industry?

Is it like 20%? 21%? I have no idea. I couldn't tell you what mine is. I think it's around there. And I know department store cards, when I was working at Zellers, the interest rate was 29%.

So. They suck you in for, like what is it? Like the first period of time, it's 0% or something. I forget. They always suck you in and then you're stuck. Yeah.

Maybe. People are just poor money managers, right? Oh, big time. They don't think about debt. People don't think about debt. That's what it boils down to. Yeah. That's what it boils down to.

So, yeah. See, it's a sign the credit regulation. It's a sign the credit regulation is coming, though, I think. Well, another one is mortgages, because Trump, you know, took care of this, or at least he's going to claim he's going to take care of credit cards. He also made an announcement to try to make housing more affordable. He authorized $200 billion to be bought of the mortgage-backed securities by it. Well, those federal agencies with Western names.

It's about time we renamed them, by the way. I think it's more timely. with Fazeemohmah and Farad Mullah should be the new name of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae or whatever for that. Give it some more modern name. There goes the algorithm support.

Okay, yeah, go ahead. Faisal needs to get involved too. So mortgage rates are dropping as a result of this $200 billion buy from the mortgage of these mortgage back securities. Furthermore, he says he wants to put an end

to companies like BlackRock from buying up residential units. That's good. That's good to see that. At the same time that we're about to open the market to foreign investment, because people can't stand price the price of their house in British Columbia going down. They're doing the opposite over there. I'm surprised, given the amount of clout these companies have through lobbying and shit like that, that this type of move is going to be done.

I'm surprised. So it is a good move, I guess. It's going to, in the short run, it's going to make. things. It's more intervention. Do you really want that in the end? Yeah, more, more thumb on the scale stuff. No, I don't. But there's certain things that like, again, this is, by the way, this is going toward significant changes in regulation in the financial sector. Corporations are people under, what is the name of that law, Dodd-Frank, I think. And under that law, corporations can do the things people do, including buy homes, right? And so you have to, you have to be. And so you have,

have this kind of like weird designation that's very flexible and that maliability allows for certain advantages that the average person doesn't have. Obviously, I'm not both a person in a corporation where meanwhile the corporation is. So, you know, you do have to put a limit on that a little bit. When Dodd-Frank came out in, oh, wait, nine, something like that, I forget. There wasn't ever a thought that this would be the end game, right? But clearly now there's a problem with that over there. The question I have is not one about America. It's one about Canada.

Is Canada going to see the funneling now from all this capital that can no longer buy whatever single-family dwellings or multi-family dwellings or whatever designation they give over there? If they can't buy them in the States, are they going to come here and pile money in? We seem to be asking for it. I mean, certainly realtors and homeowners and money in the, you know, on the west side of the country are asking for this. So are we going to allow it?

I don't know. The United States, they're trying to look in Canada's financing, especially with our real estate. And they're trying to determine, it looks like there's been a lot of money laundering going on with our world. Of course there is. Do you see this news release? No. The United States. This came on some time ago, six days ago, after last week.

So clearly there's, and I've been pounding on this drum for a while, I don't advocate for this, but I can tell you, theoretically one could make, one could easily launder money through a home that you own. You have a home, you have dirty money, one way to make it clean,

improve the house somehow. Buy a new roof, buy something, pay all cash, the price, the value of the home has gone up, you sell it, it's fucking washed clean. And the money that you use to put into that is fucking, it's washed, fucking clean.

And in Canada, it's such, I don't want to see, it's one of the easiest ways to do it. It's safe. It's endemic here is what it is. Like if you had to pick a word for it. The price of the home, you know, with a high degree of certainty, in five years, that home is going to be worth more in five years now. Yeah, totally. And if you, if you modify it and prove on it, it's going to be drastically improved in terms of price.

And then so like that's just it's too easy to fucking laundry like that. Yeah. Anyways. BC. Let's go over there. Sure. We are dangerously close to having a weekly BC segment by the way on this show, the way things are going over there.

I don't think we're going to go there just yet. We're getting closer all the time. We are getting closer all the time. We'll take another like niche sponsor to do the BC. Yeah, cool, I'll read an audio video wants to sponsor us. We can we'll take them for the BC segment. So BC they're going to be ending the pilot program. program for the drug decriminalization.

Oh, no. Who could have seen his government. So set to expire on January 31st. So currently being in the possession of a small amount of drugs is allowed. And the idea behind it, they did this with a few purposes, Joey. So one, they wanted to encourage people to seek out help. They wanted to reduce the public perception of those who use and carry a small amount of drugs. So like, now it's legal to do so.

If you have drugs, so you don't look at that. that fucking drug idiot. It's like, just common citizen, carrying drugs. You know, like a pack of smokes. BC Premier was saying,

quote, it didn't work and we ended that. So we're in close conversations with the federal government. I look forward to having more to share soon about that. And it looks like they're positioning themselves for an election

that is going to take place no later than October 2028. Two and a half years from now, but it could be sooner than that. So this whole, decriminalization stuff. Did it work? No. Why? Proof is into putting. They're fucking canceling this thing.

The pilot project is done. You've been to BC, right? You've seen what's been... I went there for my honeymoon. Not necessarily in places where you see a lot of drugs, but we did use Vancouver as our hub. We flew into Vancouver for the first

two nights, I think. And I've told this story before, but you know, my wife ended up with a bladder infection on like the second day or something, which sucks. She gets them sometimes. If your wife or girlfriend gets bladder infections, recommend that she stopped drinking caffeine. That's part of the problem.

Work for my wife, like a charm. Anyway, that aside, we ended up having to go to a walking clinic to get some meds. And the walking clinic is downtown next to a community health center. Well, the community health center turns out to just be a needle shack. And it's people walking there in and out, fold it over, completely fucking, like, slothed, washed, fucked up, high as a kite on the sidewalk, spreading cheer and joy and showing how good

open-air drug use can be in terms of, you know, culture and appreciating in downtown core. This doesn't work anywhere. It's tried. Nowhere. People talk all the time about, you know, places like Amsterdam. Amsterdam has no open-air drugs, but drugs are legal. Amsterdam has a lot of other things, too, that I won't mention on this show that lead away from drug use, strong families, low divorce rate, cultural homogeneity, all these different

things that Canada does not have. And there are certain populations. There's been a lot of changes in the past little while in all of Netherlands. Yeah, not Amsterdam. Exactly. Exactly. There's a big change. Maybe. And I would also note that there's a certain culture that allows for open-air drug use and a certain culture that does not, right? And Vancouver has embraced this culture of demonizing anybody who says that people using drugs in the street is not part of living in a big city. Well, obviously it's not. And by the way, you said it. There's an election coming up at some point.

These guys want to win. And so they have to clean things up. This is the best way to do it. Why to take this long? I don't know. But you can't even. Chinese premier is coming over. And they have to clean up the streets.

Everybody over there. Yeah. Get away from the cameras. worked in San Francisco. Yeah. Yeah. I can't do the same thing here. Anyways.

Manitoba. They got a deficit problem over there. Our guy, Wob. Our guy Wob saying the right things and doing something different. This is a report by the Winnipeg Sun saying that the provincial deficit is two times higher than what was just reported three short months ago. Yep. And they say, it's not market conditions, Joey, but they say unexpected expenses such. as forest fires and low water levels affecting Manitoba hydro sales.

Amazing. They just blame, they try and blame climate change for all their fucking stupid decisions. I can't stand these people. Cannot stand them. These guys, they promised a balanced budget before. This guy, a prime ministerial hopeful, by the way. Wobb, like, he's got his eyes on Sussex Drive. I don't know what's the path for this, but me, okay.

They were saying that they're going to promise a balanced budget before the next election next election is going to take place October 2027 and I'm not sure how they're going to be able to achieve that balanced budget without massive increases in taxes or massive cuts or maybe a combination of the two and yeah you know if they don't do it who suffers in the end everybody's out of pocket right everyone's going to pay one way or another but good on manitoba what do we always say about government economists they never forecast down turns Right. If you look at the dot plot, the SEP, you look at projections here for Bank of Canada, they never projected downturn. Never a recession, never depression. Everything is just rosy at all times.

These guys are going to say forest fires are a global warming thing. We've already talked about how forest fires can be prevented with proper maintenance. They choose not to. That's on them. It's not on the taxpayer to worry about that after the fact. Other thing that's not mentioned in there is that the Winnipegson also reporting that the problem with health care, care and families both having an overspend issue in the provincial system. And of course, there's also some blame on the trade war. So they're pulling out all the stops here. But at the end of the day, the problem is that they don't have the money. And the forecast assumed that property taxes would be up 40% over four years.

I don't know if you saw that number. It's just it's not going to happen. Isn't it true that most jurisdictions now are going to have a problem with the highest income earners leaving or finding ways to shelter their income from taxes? Does it always happen? It has, but I think it becomes more prevalent. Exactly. It's pushing down the ladder now a little bit. And I just don't think there's any, like looking at some of these, some of the stuff in the report here.

Like, how did you not project this? Well, the fact is that you should have projected it. it's not it's not up to it shouldn't be up to the newspaper to find out that you missed budget by a hundred percent the original deficit forecast was 794 million now it's 1.6 billion dollars billion dollars for manitoba man i know there's nothing even there like what what do you build it from the blue bombers right god like just unbelievable unbelievable mismanagement from them on the bright side of I won't have to see much of that premiere for a while, presumably he'll be in the shadows for a bit. Let's talk about a nut job in Calgary. And she was filmed throwing one of those construction pylons

off the balcony of her 14th floor condo. And it's not one of those rubber pylons that you just, you know, you see the soccer practice or something. These are no ones to use for diverting practices. Sorry, by diverting traffic, right? And, you know, when you have long-term lane closure, These fuckers weigh 13 pounds, Joey.

13 pounds tossed off the floor of the 14th floor condo. Luckily, nobody was hurt. Zero regard for human life. People could have been killed. And it's why. It's for these social media stumps. They want to get fucking views. They want to get monetized.

They want to get paid. It's too bad. And it's not the only one. We had the chair lady back in Toronto a few years ago, tossing chair. Yeah. It was a, yeah. She was in Drake.

apartment or something was she not i thought it was like i can't remember i thought there was a tie-in with drake somehow i was just thinking that but i don't remember the exact details crazy how does this have to fucking bullshit i don't know it's like i people are just mentally fucking ill to do that i wouldn't like i wouldn't even fucking take a piss off a balcony and picking a piss is fucking bad off a balcony but at the very least all it would cause is just people being you know they're kind of sick from that but you can throw fucking some hard object 13 fucking

pounds. You could kill somebody. For sure. What was the punishment here? What was the punishment here? Doesn't say. She just charged. That's it. Bad. That's so bad. There's certain like anti-social in the technical sense, behaviors that I think like are too hard to come back from in terms of like a,

it's like a personality flaw, you know? How can you put that person back in a polite society? Put her on the 13th floor. so one below. That way it's a little bit less damage. You're not allowed to have any apartments above the first floor. You have to be on the ground floor of all apartments from here on that. All right.

I'm going to butcher this fucking name. Cianovacanian. Okay. A fanian. And it was a 26 year old Canadian died December 30th, 2025. This is a crazy story. This is absolutely insane. It's from the maid program.

The guy was apparently approved for made back in 2022, but his mom at that time worked very hard to make sure that the story went public, and he was dissuaded at that time to move forward with the procedure. But, you know, he's got, he had some medical issues. He had diabetes, depression. The diabetes led to one of his eyes being blind, but still, you know, I don't have these issues, right? It's easy for me to say.

But the guy unfortunately decided he had enough. He changed his mind and he was put to rest. 26 year old dude. And if you look at it, aside from being depressed and having diabetes, he was a healthy dude, right? Just like it's sad to see this happen. It's measurable to see how many people died in Canada due to this. It's creeping up.

And I don't think it's ever going to pass cancer or whatever. But it's measurable. If you look at how many people die annually due to this, it's quite high. And, you know, I can understand if you're stage four cancer or that, you know, it's, you know, it's rough. But something like this, it's hard for me to justify. Granted, I haven't walked in your shoes. But man, oh, man, I mean, we've got to do better at this. Give some people an opportunity to live a life.

Yeah. So I would tell you you're underselling this story of it. And I'll tell you why. In 2020, you mentioned that you tried to make a maid appointment. is mother, Margaret, God bless this woman, intervened publicly. Appointment was canceled. First doctor that he had told him, you can't get made. You're young and healthy.

Then he finds Ellen Weeb. Okay. Weeby. Ellen Weeb is, is her name Weeby? Weeby. Okay. Ellen Weeby is famous in this country for all the wrong reasons. She has killed more than 400 people as of October 31st, 2024. for she signed off on 400 made appointments national posts of the story on her at that time and this lady goes on these media outlets and talks about her kill count basically her kd this is disgusting this one we should be put in jail if not worse

they found a loophole to kill this kid thanks to this doctor who's addicted to suicide and never talk to the kid's mother even though for sure the case file has a note in there about this person's mother was able to convince him last time. Maybe we shouldn't convince him. Now, it raises significant ethical questions, I think. Like, what was the loophole here that was used that one doctor a few years ago couldn't find? How significant is the loophole? Is it a loophole that needs to be closed? I think that's a question that we deserve an answer to.

What is the requirement for family involvement? I realize this guy is not a minor, although we do. approve suicide for minors now as well, should you have to call someone's loved ones, his next of kin? You demand the next of kin when you're admitted to a hospital for some reason. So why not ask for a next of kin for a decision like that? Especially one that's got, you know, psychological and there I say, you know, spiritual element to it, you know? Webe is known as Dr. Death in the industry. I don't know if you know that. And serves on the advisory council the dying with dignity Canada board.

She's been under investigation before, okay? Covertly entered Orthodox Jewish nursing home in 2017, euthanized patient despite family and resident objectives. Regulator found no wrong doing multiple complaints from coroners and families, similar pattern in other cases. Crazy. When is, when does, when does compassion for someone's situation, medical situation, get overridden by convenience for stuff like this is the question that I want answered

from weedy or from anybody. You can't help this kid. I realize we're not going to bring back someone's vision, okay? But hunting down a doctor with a reputation as doctor death, finding loopholes, not contacting the family or next of kin, and doing it basically under a crowd is just insane. Well, let me put it in a different point of view. And I hate to do this. Sure. But he clearly was ready to be done with it.

He was in a state of mind. He was ready last time too. It's almost to the point if he didn't find a doctor, he probably could have found another way to get it done if you don't know what I'm getting at. Sure. So what we really need is people need to get this addressed, the mental, like the problems that exist out there and it's just getting fucking worse. Somehow they need

to be addressed and people aren't, they're not going out. There's no human connection anymore. So you lose that and the weather doesn't help. There's a whole bunch of factors. I'm not trying to justify this, but I'm just trying to point out what's the reality here. And people just need if they have

issues, they should seek it out. And I hope that there's available assistance out there that they could get because it's too bad because people, they may not get it through this particular way, but they may find it, they may end up doing a different way and still achieving the same goal. But here's the thing, right?

Like, medical assistance in dying because of mental illness is not allowed. Because of mental state is not allowed, not until next year. So that's not a reason. Like, there has to be another shape. Is it a reason? Yeah. Just because it's allowed, does it mean it should be a reason? I don't think it should be.

No. I'm very much against this. I'm against this because. I keep on hearing on TV from our politicians that our healthcare system is untouchable, public health care. We did an episode on this with Mo Zerabian and Brian Day. Like, doctors who are willing to speak out are all saying the same things. System has a problem. Free healthcare is anything but free.

It's very costly, in fact. And here you have a great example, right? The cost is not just one of dollars and cents, but it's one of lives, families, relationships. If it was properly managed, properly funded, and if it's not overburdened by, The reality is we didn't put a lot of new money in the healthcare system, but a lot of people are now using it now compared to a few years ago just because there's an increase of the population. And so now it's even more burden than it was before. It wasn't all that great before, but it's getting worse. In a perfect world, it wouldn't be like that.

But whenever we don't live in a perfect world, I get that. Well, you'd think we did in terms of health care if you ask certain people. But you're killing vulnerable people. At the end of the day, this guy's a vulnerable person by any definition. And you can't, like, I'm not saying you have to try and walk everybody off the cliff. That's not the medical profession's job either. But offering some kind of treatment that makes things easier as opposed to killing them is, I think, a fair middle ground. But we be, she's the master of disaster, man.

Should get it done for you. She's a killer that one. No pun intended. Let's do one last story before we tie you. Sure. This episode up. Finch LRT. I don't know what fucking line it is.

I'm calling it. I still call it the, you know, Blue Danforth line, Young University's Vodina line. Just don't call it Dundas. Anything else with Dundas? Well, they haven't changed the name of the line. Actually, they did.

I'm wrong. I'm totally fucking wrong. It's my actual links. They're saying that Finch Lertie, it's got some fucking problems. It's not being rolled out the way that they had hoped. There was a series of service disruptions most notably there was a boxing day storm that caused issues

the LRT struggles with extreme cold and snow stuff that you kind of expect to get in Canada Southern Ontario the lines switching signals they say unlike freight train the freight train railways they use gas powered flame throwers to clear ice yeah the Finch LRT uses electric heaters So the system they say needs to be perfected to ensure a liability and to deal with the harsh Canadian winters. And what TTC was doing, they were proactive.

They launched this LRT, but they also had a full bus schedule running a full parallel of us. So they're running two fucking services. These guys are the best. They're the best. They're this ramp-up phase. And riders were saying it takes a long time. Originally was 34 minutes was a projection from end to end, 50 minutes plus over an hour in certain cases. This is all, if you recall, I recall this vividly, David Miller.

This was his fucking thing. He wanted to create this cross-town stuff. He wanted to rake the city with LRT. LRT works in some places. Toronto, if they want to be world class, this is fucking Bush League to have LRT. The total cost for Finch, LRT, $3.7 billion. Crazy. Think of how many people could get jobs.

food, shelter, all that stuff, and you're still running buses alongside this. It's fucking pathetic. I mean, we did just talk about how they couldn't figure out that they got warm and cold and wet in the fall, right? When they're painting the... In Rome, Italy, they just opened a new station adjacent to the Coliseum.

It opened up in the past two weeks or so, two, three weeks. And during that excavation of this new line, this new subway station, of course, Rome being Rome, they found all these artifacts. What do they do? They took these artifacts and created the subway station is now a museum of the stuff that they found. You go down into the subway station, you see all these artifacts they found over there. It's absolutely brilliant.

Good idea. But even there, with a shitty work attitude that they have over there, still it cost less per kilometer to build the subway in Roe's. than it did in Toronto. Why is it that? That's fucking pathetic. Like, we should be able to do things much more efficiently. Why don't we have the Italians? Like 100 years ago, they fucking build, you know, in London.

Why don't we have the Italians come here to build our line and we don't have the Canadians go there to build the ice rink? Isn't that a good idea, given the current state of affairs? Well, the smaller ice rink is probably advantageous. At least it used to be to the Canadians. I'm not sure if the game was evolved. But, you know, back in a day when you had the, the Boston Gardens.

Didn't they just have the hockey Olympics there, winter Olympics there like a decade ago? I thought they did. 2008. So is there not still an arena somewhere over there? I don't think it was in Milan. I think it was somewhere else. I don't know where it was,

but I remember it was in Italy. Torino, wasn't it? I don't know. Maybe. Or I got to reverse now. Well, whatever. Like, is there not a rank? How far is that from Milan?

Very close. So put him on a bus. Put him on the new train line. Yeah, it's the guy with a bad cold. over there. Actually got a lot of snow in places that normally doesn't get snow.

Anyways, let's transition to the Brampton versus Hamilton. Yes, brought to you by our friend Twan at 256 heat. Best place for you. If you need a heater,

okay, like we can't say this enough times. We are getting notes from Twan all the time that he's selling to CBP listeners, these heating units. And every single one he sells, the reaction, is like amazing.

I can't believe I wasn't doing this before. It's so quiet. It looks nice. He's now iterative 3D printing different elements and components of the current model. And he's cooking up a new model coming soon to the S19. And I think also to the 240, the S21 Pro. You can't you can't teach this. Like Len and I were over at his house for dinner the other day.

And you kind of need like you need like this, this laser. focus on a project like something like this. And so he's on the phone with people all the time. He's learning ways to streamline the process, to ship easier, to install easier. And the thing just works. It's on in here all the time. You guys can't hear it. It's on right next to me. Eight feet away, max. And I cannot tell you enough that once you try it, you'll never buy another heater again. You'll only buy these things. So 256 heat, call them, email them, and he'll hop on a call with you quick time and get you set up, man. Can't beat it.

So we have a couple of great stories over here. The first one we have man on couch seen in the back of a moving truck. And a man was spotted sitting on a couch in the back of a moving pickup truck. Okay. A pickup truck or a moving truck? A you haul a pickup truck. Pickup. Pick up.

Back of a moving truck, a truck in motion. Got it. Okay. So a recent video posted on X shows a man comfortably seated on a black couch loaded in the bed of a pickup truck. And he appears to be holding a phone to his ear engaged in conversation. And the couch is positioned with the tailgate down. It obscures the license plate. So it's difficult for witnesses to write down the license plate.

But the driver's out there with a signal on ready to make a left-hand turn. And it says in Ontario riding in the back of a pickup truck in any public roadway is illegal. And if caught, you get $500 or imprisonment up to six months. And also additionally driving with the tailgate down is not allowed. So this dude was driving. Somebody was driving him. He was sitting in the back. So he just chilling there on his phone on the back of the pickup shop.

I love it. Just city streets. I love it. That's one. Legendary. Okay. Second one, we got this non-consensual nude photos and video shared online in a 15 month sentence for this man.

And a man pleaded. sorry, a man was spent more than 15 months in jail because he was taking pictures, new photos, and videos of women without their consent and uploading them to his Pornhub account. Wow. His 30-year-old pleaded guilty to three accounts of- He's got a Pornhub account. Okay. Yeah, so it's under his name. I don't want to say his name, but his name Rails.

So it would be like Joy Rails, Len Rails. That's, I mean, his Pornhub account. he uploaded these videos of the way to his account and featuring it sexually derogatory comments. Furthermore, it goes, it's very interesting. He dated his ex-girlfriend from July to October 2016. And during that time, he took numerous photos of her naked and engaged in sexual activities. He posts these pictures. And, yeah, apparently his girlfriend expected full privacy, but it wasn't the case.

I guess so. Yeah, you would expect full privacy, I suppose. Yeah, you certainly don't want to wind up on nails Pornhub account. That's for sure. This is not what you were intending. No doubt about that. So, yeah. So she didn't find out until 2020 when a friend let her know.

I don't know how the friend figured out that he was on Pornhub, but a whole other stone needs to be turned over for sure. And the second case, he recorded an employee to gym. He used to go to his gym and she was performing weightlifting exercises. He was secretly recording her, zooming in and her ass shit like that, posted this. under the title and his board hub

smoke show what was your blonde what's that what's the title show blonde with fat

ass candid I get caught in the end he got caught so yeah so he got caught so you

get some pictures of women it says here that he's 30 years old from a closely knit family

and he had a positive upbringing he's unemployed and continually lives with his parents he's also engaged to a woman

that he met back in February and during this recording spree so yeah this is this might be the tough she supported this sort of poor process and yeah no prior convictions before this there you go so you have the two stories

you have the guy that's driving or being driven around in the back of a pickup truck while sitting at a fucking couch the picture is phenomenal by the way I'd send it to you and then you got this guy taking pictures

of women at the gym and video posting it on his porn number account sending his ex-girlfriend's pictures on there and yeah. It feels to me like it'd be like the good old Canadian boy doing the pickup truck thing, you know, but the gym one does not sound like a Brampton man.

It does not sound like a Brampton man. You know, like it sounds like there's too much, there's too many, the peripheral of the story, the periphery of the story, the girlfriend, he's got a Pornhub account with nails in the name. Like it's sort of a, like you don't, you wouldn't have absorbed. that part of the culture yet if you were a new Brampton man. So I'm going to go with the Brampton man on the couch in the pickup truck and the Hamilton man filming at the gym and getting caught in the end. Oh, you're correct.

Nice. It's Mikhail Rails was the guy his account, but it's been deleted back years ago. Pull it up, Jamie, pull that up. I sent you in a private chat, the picture of the guy riding in the back of the pickup truck. if you want to just put that up here. Just a beauty. Just that fucking beauty this one is. It's so great.

This has got to be. It doesn't give a fucking shit. It's got to be one of the best things the show's ever show. Just doesn't give a fucking shit. Look at this guy. Do not redeem it. I can't believe this photo. This is an all-timer.

Truly. But yeah, he's taking it from the, where's the straps? Where's the bed? The tailgates down. There's no straps. They're in. In traffic?

Like, he's not even, yeah, I guess. He's not even like, he's not worried about being seen by anybody. He's on a main road. Oh, and he's chatting on the phone, right? He's just, you know. He's just there. I want to get him on a show. I'd love to tell him with it.

Let's call him up. I don't know if I could, but I'll call him up. That's it for tonight, everyone. Thanks for coming. Good to see all you guys in the chat. Good to see all you guys on YouTube, Twitter, wherever else we're streaming. Come back next week for more action. know what we're going to do for interviews, but I'll try and get someone next week.

I'm going to interview my physiotherapist at some point to talk about the importance of proper rehab processes. Isn't he in a Cornwall chat or not? I haven't told him yet. No, not Rockwood, not Rockwood. The guy who's do my ACL. Although Rock would be a good interview too, but I don't think we'd be able to stay on physical therapy.

So better than to. Do you have to stay in physical therapy? You could divert it to this direction and that. With Rockwood? It might be a good idea. Yeah. Yeah, it might be a good idea. So anyway, we'll see you guys next week.

Take care yourselves. Don't be a cock. Thank you.
