Episode Date: April 1, 2026

Bitcoin-backed mortgages are now officially here — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have greenlit the first US government-backed product that lets you use Bitcoin or USDC as collateral to buy a home, and ...most people are completely misreading what this actually means.The structure is more nuanced than the headlines suggest: you pledge Bitcoin into a Coinbase Prime account, take out a second loan backed by that collateral to fund your down payment, and crucially — the collateral is never mark-to-market. No margin calls if Bitcoin dumps 40% overnight. That's the biggest part of this story nobody's talking about.The US Treasury's own 2025 financial report: $6 trillion in assets, $48 trillion in liabilities — a net position of negative $41.7 trillion, up $2 trillion in one year. Jerome Powell publicly acknowledged the structural deficit problem. Meanwhile Canada moves to ban Bitcoin political donations under Bill C-25, Wealthsimple launches prediction market gambling, and 150 million Binance credentials just leaked.

Starting point is 00:00:00 So, I didn't look up any of this stuff from Mark. But we do have another sponsor to read, the Bitcoin mentor. If you are thinking about what to do with your Bitcoin and you're traveling to Hong Kong or you want to retire or you want to pass to your kids and you want to have everything set up, there's probably nobody better to help you with that than Ben Perrin. And so I don't often advertise stuff for like other podcasts, but feel pretty good about this. He's a guy that I trust. I know pretty well. And a lot of you guys know him, too. He's really built his reputation on being the trustworthy guy in the space.
Starting point is 00:00:38 And if you have questions about multi-sig, about inheritance, about protecting your Bitcoin in ways that are maybe a little unorthodox, there's really no one better to ask. And it's not that expensive either. You know, if you got a couple of Bitcoin you're sitting on from 2015, 2016, 2017, 2020, whatever. And you're thinking, man, you know, I don't really know how I'm going to pass this down in a way that makes sense for my kids. and for my spouse and for my bloodline.
Starting point is 00:01:04 These guys do. And they will help you. They'll white glove you. They'll guide you the whole way. It's a relationship exercise as much as it is a, as much as it is a call with somebody to help you with custody. And I can't really say enough about that level of service these days when everything is basically, you know, an Indian guy telling you his name is Carl on the support line. So it's good to get people you know, people you trust and people that we vote for. So give them a call.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I'll put the promo code in the show notes as always and go there and whatever, save a couple of blocks and use them. Good idea. You'll be solvent after using your Bitcoin, not like the U.S. government, which is apparently insolvent. According to this report from Fortune. It's funny that the Treasury Department's 2025 financial report of the U.S. government is showing that they're in a lot of problems. people are finally getting funny coming to grips that this thing is a fucking mess that can't be tackled. And according to the statements, the federal government ended with a total amount of assets of a little bit over $6 trillion. And our total liabilities is almost $48 trillion.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Is that a lot? Someone tell me if that's a lot, please. Huge disparity between the two. These are massive numbers. But if the assets was way bigger than the liabilities, at least it could be managed in a better position. But this brings that in a position, negative position of around $41.7 trillion. And this grew by $2 trillion in a single year. This is under Trump's management who seems to give the aura of him being fiscally responsible
Starting point is 00:02:45 and able to manage things. And yeah, this insolvency argument is now growing. It's not like we've been talking about it for the past bunch of years, but now at least Powell talking about it today. So I'm going to give us like a little bit of perspective because these numbers are huge. So if you're a household that's earning around $52,000 a year, right? You're spending $73,000 a year. So you have a consistent annual deficit between that.
Starting point is 00:03:13 And then the same household would have around $60,000 in assets in the bank, but they have a total amount of debt of $1.36 million. So just put things in perspective of a common folks that like to listen to this show like myself, like you, Joey, and I guess everybody else. So that just goes to show you how fucking bad things are. And that's why we like to buy Bitcoin, why we push Bitcoin, because how could they get out of this absolutely humongous debt still fund war after war and then taking over a country like Cuba, taking over countries like Venezuela.
Starting point is 00:03:49 they have no ability to fix this thing I don't think they have a desire to fix it they just want to continue this thing for as long as possible and for the next guy to deal with it and have their face put on the next mount Rushmore good for them Rushmore right this is what they want right
Starting point is 00:04:06 yeah I did a good job I can't remember what the stat I saw was but there's a stat about because the billionaires tax and well tax is sort of like on vote right now here and over there I think you'd have to take every dollar from every billionaire, like 30 times or something like that, and you still wouldn't
Starting point is 00:04:24 chip away at this number? Like, the number is just so, it's so enormous that you can't possibly fathom how much it will take to knock this down. It's 29 years of, like, like, just insane amounts of debt and deficit and, and rating the treasury. And I think now the, really the problem, the government of the United States, and it's everywhere. It's here, too, Europe. The problem is that everyone can see it. It's laid bare. Thanks to social media, thanks to access information requests and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:04:55 So everyone can kind of see that, you know, every politician is getting rich and I'm getting, I'm getting poorer. They're printing money like crazy and propping up, you know, industries. Here in Canada, I know this is not a Canada story,
Starting point is 00:05:07 but here in Canada, we are so reliant on real estate and so unwilling to change our ways that now both the province of Ontario and the feds are jumping in to prop up the Ontario pre-con market. So it's another way of saying that although the Fed villainizes Alberta constantly and their resource extraction constantly,
Starting point is 00:05:24 they're now leaning on them to prop up the Toronto condo market. Like this is the end of empire type stuff. In the state, you have this other sort of crack in emerging from the water. And it's this war, the cost of war, the cost of empire. Talked about this was Scott Horton. Empire is a suicide mission. Nobody emerges from empire building in the long term. certainly not the person who's perpetrating that strategy or executing that strategy.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So, I mean, the states is in a heap of trouble. You know what the worst part, though, is, Len, is that if they can't figure it out, we are all cooked. You're talking about, you know, vegetables for every meal, cricket proteins, UBI, carbon allowances, social credit. The U.S. has to figure it out because there needs to be somewhere that people can look and say, yeah, this is what I want my country to look like. Right now, that's the United States.
Starting point is 00:06:20 They're easily the cleanest dirty shirt around the world. And, you know, they're running, I think they're running out a runway, honestly. No. Well, Powell today was saying that he actually doesn't view the debt as being an issue. But he does say that sort of structurally, the economy compared to deficit spending has to be righted because eventually the bond market will price these things in and it'll be unpalatable. And then you run into problems. Like we talk about this. Everyone talks about this on their podcast, not just us, but everybody talks about this. And so it's funny that some of the hedgies and investment guys will say, well, there's ways to make money in times of, times of despair too. And I would just suggest to you that maybe that's been the case for a long time. But if the U.S. experiences a significant collapse, you're not going to be worried about the money you're making anymore. That money is not going to feel the same, hit the same. And your life will be so different.
Starting point is 00:07:16 without the U.S. Hegemon at the helm, that it's just not going to matter, you know, how well your shorts did. How well your U.S. dollar shorts did. Yes, and the Houthis are now, or Houthis are now involved in launching missiles to Israel. This is interesting now that this is going on. I don't know what sort of resources they have, but they had enough to launch missiles, a pretty decent distance and hit targets in Israel. My God. Now, we were talking before the show, I guess we could talk about it a little bit now, that you heard or you read. Rory Johnson, yeah, saying that Europe and Australia and some of these places are in an oil crunch now, fuel crunch now.
Starting point is 00:08:03 And that's somewhere between 10 and 14 days. This was two days ago I read this. Somewhere between 10 and 14 days, Canada and the U.S. will be in that same crunch. Well, Slovenia, a couple of weeks ago, they rationed. fuel. They were rationing how much they get because the cost of petrol over there is much cheaper than it is in. So people from Italy and all that are flowing in getting the gas. So we wanted to stop that. They decided to. So like this is becoming a problem. And the only saving grace from this thing is we're entering for the northern hemisphere into summer.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Yeah. Yeah. Like if this was October and going November and the gas that normally would come out of Qatar, they didn't want to get gas from Russia. I'm talking about Europe. They'd be fucking freezing. But at least now, they bought a little bit of time to work out something. And Canada's gas that, I guess there was no market for that before.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Maybe now they could find a market for it because there's nobody else that could provide Europe with gas, natural gas. And maybe Canada could be the one that could do it somehow. But if there's a shortage in Canada, I don't believe that's the case, but I'm just going based off my thoughts. I have no fucking, no proof to say it, like no proof to back up what I'm saying. I just basically what I believe.
Starting point is 00:09:23 If there's fucking a gas shortage here, we are fucked because we have not yet entered into the growing season where we could locally grow shit. We're still importing a lot of fruit from Mexico and from the United States and so forth. We are in fucking real problems. United States bit off more naked chew. Iran? Fuck, incredible that they're able. it to hold off this as much as possible. Here's the tweet.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Here's the tweet. It's from Rory Johnston. I've been describing the supply loss for the audio people. I'll read it. I've been describing the supply loss from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as an air pocket moving through the normal flow of oil out of the Gulf. Helpful map from J.P. Morgan highlighting when that air pocket will find land in different major consuming regions.
Starting point is 00:10:07 East Africa last week. East Asia this week. Europe next week. North America, two more weeks. That was on March 29th. So yesterday. So we're two weeks away from this affecting Canada and the U.S. And, you know, Rory's got a lot of good stuff on his feed about about this whole thing.
Starting point is 00:10:28 One Kuwaiti VLCC attack worth, one to one 50 a barrel on WTI crude. So you can see here the WTI chart, insane run up here in that price from, you know, 104 all the way to 106 and basically an hour or something like that, like not even. And that was from 12 minutes ago. So, you know, we are in, dare I say, uncharted territory. I think that might be, you know, maybe a little bit. We've never been in this situation for, oh, no, never. This situation has been 40-something years, 50 years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Yeah. I was born. Yeah, yeah. I mean, we'll see. We'll see what happened. I'm not overly concerned. But I did say to my wife that, you know, the big thing will be the fuel costs. It would be the price of food.
Starting point is 00:11:18 So if you got to go to Costco, load up on, you know, 90-10 ground beef so you can hit your push-ups while you're on lockdown. This is the time to do it. Something to consider is maybe get canned goods that you like to eat like beans or what the fuck it is. And just load up on that. And if nothing passes it and everything just turns out to be good, just still eat, you know. Yeah, eat them anyway. Yeah. just go out but it's good to have a supply of something and it is crazy listen i don't want to i don't
Starting point is 00:11:48 want to give you a little pee a little boner there but uh i didn't say this during the bitcoin side nakamoto sold bitcoin at about a 50% haircut during the show they had to and i'm not trying to i'm not trying to to give them a pat on a back or give them an out these all these treasury companies are going to have to do something. If you're on MSTR, you are a seller. I totally agree. What's that XXI?
Starting point is 00:12:21 Is that one of them? 21, yep. I mean, Jack Muller says it's not a treasury company, but he can't really explain what it is. If not, I know, I know. So we should explore this Nacamoa thing a little more. Sure. It's pretty funny.
Starting point is 00:12:38 So the price of this last year during the paper per summer got as high as $25-ish dollars. Last I checked was around $21. Okay. And what's a trade? After this news came out, has it gone down even further than that? I haven't looked. I haven't looked.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Pull up your, pull up your Lennberg terminal and let me know what you see. I'll see what I can do. I'd be curious. I'd be curious. I can't imagine. 5%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Because they probably want off that ride. Investors probably want off that ride. But if they go 100% off that ride, Yeah. What is the they essentially they just pissed through a bunch of money. Bitcoin Magazine is the only
Starting point is 00:13:19 the only other thing that that umbrella owns now, right? I think they just bought Bitcoin Magazine two weeks ago or something like that. Yeah. I don't know. The conference is the conference a big money maker? I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:13:28 It was UTXO management as well. There's a few things that they bought. But is that going to be, will that be enough earning power for people to say, you know what? We lost a few hundred million on this fucking acquisition. We'll make $150,000
Starting point is 00:13:42 annually and be able to make it up over 10,000 years. Maybe they'll pivot. Maybe they'll pivot to AI. Maybe. They're not in the mining. Nakamoto, like, I think they've, they're in over their heads, 21s over their heads, these other companies. Nakamoto's not over their heads.
Starting point is 00:14:03 The way I look at it is they done, they did this move and they were able to get access to shit, like private jets. Yeah. Right. So they played it right. They played investors like fools. And they got to live the good life as a result of that. And they'll continually live the good life as long as they could just squeeze every fucking drop a lemon from this lemon.
Starting point is 00:14:27 And fuck over. Tell me how you really feel. Yeah. Tell me how you really feel. I've talked about this. Fuck them all. Let's talk about Canada's citizenship test. This is a beauty story.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Sure. Sure. So as a- I've actually been taking one in the background during the podcast. I passed it with flying colors. The first attempt? Because you're allowed up to three now. Oh, I got no problem.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah. I had a little bit of trouble with the questions that were in Punjabi, but I just went to Google Translate for them. It'll be okay. So they're basically now allowing, not basically, they are allowing people to do the citizenship test online for most applicants. And it's 20 multiple choice or true or false questions. And it's based off the official study guide. And to pass, you have to answer 15 out of the 20 questions correctly, 75% within a 45-minute time limit. And there's also three attempts.
Starting point is 00:15:22 You could do it. In the past, when you fail twice, you had to do a interview or a hearing. Now you're given three chances to pass. This is so shameful from our country. In a 30-day window, by the way. You're a 30-day window. If you fail the first attempt, that's okay. retake it within those 30 days fail again it's okay do it third time and you'll be given
Starting point is 00:15:48 Canadian citizenship as a result love it I'm trying to find it I'm trying to find an example test but I can't find one here I'd be curious like how many what is the failure rate is it like the G1 license G2 license where there's like an expected sort of bell curve I doubt it honestly it seems like they're trying to make this easier and easier more more more convenient for people who are just not going to be good citizens. And it's funny, we're doing this at the same time that most European countries now. I shouldn't say most, but some European countries, including the EU parliament, I suppose, on that list, are starting to move toward remigration.
Starting point is 00:16:28 You have the Netherlands today, I think. I can't remember it was in the Netherlands or some other European countries saying that they want 80% of Syrian refugees that have come in the last four years to go back to Syria. Germany has been saying that for a little while, because since the war has wrapped up in It was MERS. Yeah, that's right. It was Germany. Yeah. Go back home. Go back home. Yeah. Go back home. I'm of the opinion. Like my, this is a common sense opinion, by the way. It used to get you called the racist or whatever or get you called like a bigot. Fuck you if you say that and fuck you if you think it's still the case.
Starting point is 00:16:58 If you vacation to the country from which you are fleeing persecution or like need safety from, you shouldn't be allowed back. Number one. Number two, if you can't speak the language after a year in Canada, you should be forced to. to go back. Number three, if you're collecting welfare or any social assistance at all, after a year, you should have to go back. And number four, if you need one of these quote unquote immigration help centers when you come over, you shouldn't be allowed to come in. Those are the four rules. If we just did those things, we'd be fine, but we refuse. Other countries going the other direction. And so naturally now we're going to get not only the worst from the people who are scamming the Canadian system, but we're also going to get the
Starting point is 00:17:36 worst from people who already scammed the European system and now are being told they have to leave. Can't wait. I can't wait to see what this country becomes. It's all fun in games. You can talk about how much you like the kebab shop. But when the guys who would otherwise be running a kebab shop are maintaining your water treatment system, you're fucked. You're fucked after that. So just get ready for that.
Starting point is 00:17:57 So I have the questions. I generated five test questions. And let's see if we could answer this. Here we go. There we go. Does Twan want to sponsor this section? Does we have a sponsor for this? Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:08 How is the cabinet minister chosen? And it gives four choices by the king, by the voters, by other cabinet ministers, or by the prime minister. By the king. Oh, my God. Holy fuck. So there you go. That's question number one. The question two, how is the prime minister chosen?
Starting point is 00:18:26 And the four options are the king appoints the prime minister. The governor general with the Senate appoints the prime minister. The leader of the party with the most elected representatives become the prime minister. the MPs vote on the Prime Minister. That's question number two. Third is the name of the Governor General, David Johnson, Mary Simon, Richard Wagner, Julie Piette. Four, who's the name of the Premier of Ontario?
Starting point is 00:18:54 Doug Ford, Jack Layton. That's a citizenship question? Yeah. Because it's depending on the province. They'll ask you who's the name of the Premier. Oh, my God. You got to be kidding me, dude. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Who's the leader of the Federal Official Opposition Party, Thomas Malkir, Andrew Shear, Pierre, Pierre, Pierre, Pierre, Pahliav, lives with me. So it asks you some questions to do with politics of the day. That's really what it's doing. That's just unbelievable. It should be, what do you do at a roundabout? Why isn't that a question? Obviously, you turn left because you're in a right-hand drive car.
Starting point is 00:19:26 At least you should be in a right-hand drive car. So you fucking turn left and you're looking to talk, you'd wait clockwise. Turn left and wonder why everyone's going the wrong direction. Easy. So we can talk quickly about the NDP convention, I guess. I would love to, yeah. What can you say? High-outain mental illness, that's what you say.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Oppression Olympics, I guess, was the term that they used. Pretty crazy weekend in Canadian media, right? Like, you're in the spotlight on Twitter for two of the most embarrassing, like, humiliation rituals you will ever see. The Juno's didn't deliver all that much. They were pretty bad. They were pretty bad. I never watched a man with someone clip.
Starting point is 00:20:05 The lady, I mean, I think it's, she goes by she, maybe she goes by they. I don't, honestly, I don't fucking care. I'm just so tired of it all. I can't be bothered to look and give a shit about this. But, you know, she's in the crowd, doing crowd work in between subpar musical acts. And she talks about how everyone should be glad about Mark Carney's speech in Davos. If you were, if you were a North Korean citizen, you'd expect to see something like this. Like, you'd expect that you'd see this on Twitter where like the quote unquote, you know, celebrity.
Starting point is 00:20:35 North Korean host of the North Korean Music Awards was talking about how great the North Korean leader was while he was in attendance at the at the show. You know, he gives, Carney gives a lifetime achievement award to Joni Mitchell. And Joni Mitchell's on stage talking about how hard it is to, or how shitty it is to be an American, how shitty the American president is while she lives in the United States and receives an award from a guy who's the Prime Minister of Canada, but has not lived in Canada for 20 years, has no roots in Canada. Canada. The whole thing was weird. And then on top of that, like this clip going around of this
Starting point is 00:21:11 native like throat growler or whatever while Nellie Furtado, who's basically eaten nothing but cupcakes for the last 20 years apparently is like screaming and howling and how good the act is. This is by the way, a short reprieve from the corpses of the band Rush giving a performance while a guy presumably hired by the CBC for a pretty good clip to do sign language for Rush takes up half the screen playing fucking air guitar? I mean, it was like a South Park episode. And I see people online going, well, this is, you know, we have to do things for the, you know, the auditory impaired.
Starting point is 00:21:53 And, you know, we have to recognize Joni Mitchell and Rush is a good Canadian band. And Nellie Furtado is a good Canadian actor, uh, singer. Like, okay, I guess, but this really does speak to a larger problem in Canada and specifically with the CBC who funds, by the way, the Juno Awards. What are we doing to invigorate the young people in Canada, the ones who are addicted to dope, addicted to gambling, you know, by their own admission, being radicalized online by other cultures? What are we doing to engage this group?
Starting point is 00:22:27 You know, we have a famous Canadian acts. that are making hits and headlines basically all over the world. That one girl with the chronic Western University face, I can't remember her name. Tate McCray. Tate McCray. Some like, you know, some dime piece. He's like 20 years old.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Like, she's got a ton of good songs. We can't get her to come to the Junos. We can't get Drake to come to the Junos. He didn't talk? Drake doesn't go. He never goes. None of the Canadian asks, the weekend doesn't go to the Junos.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Like, the thing is, and people say, you know, just talking to my in-laws as a day. data point today. I was over there after work with my daughter. The data point is, well, maybe the young people got to get involved. That's not the thing to take from this. The thing to take from it is why does this whole demographic refuse to engage with anything that actually matters to young people? It's everything from, it's everything from immigration to Juneauax. Like, the spectrum, the continuum of things that matter to these people, to the young people is so wide and yet the boomers refused to engage with it at all.
Starting point is 00:23:35 No matter what. Nobody wants to watch the Juno's to see Mark Carney give a lifetime achievement award to Joni fucking Mitchell while she bitches and moans about living in the States. Yeah, of course he was there. What else is you have to do? What else does you have to do? We're only in the middle of a fucking trade crisis in a Middle Eastern fuel shortage. What else does he have to do besides go to the Juno Award?
Starting point is 00:23:54 He sat in the House of Commons. I think the number there is saying 25% since he, has been elected prime or I mean, chosen prime minister You're in, you're in unprecedented times. I think the term used by our prime minister
Starting point is 00:24:08 during the election was urgent or emergency or like, well, of course, Len, we know, eh is the case. But the fact of the matter is he was elected on the back of those terms, on the back of those promises,
Starting point is 00:24:21 on the back of being the Trump whisperer, he's been none of those things. Dude got 40 something percent, eh? I know he did. The other guy that lost got 40 something percent too. You don't see these numbers in Canadian elections in a very long time. Telling you, man.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Incredible. Like, other parties are absolutely ripped. And so you got this going on with the Junos. Then you get the NDP leadership convention where they spend three or four days whining about who's got the most pronouns. Who's the fucking fattest and the dumbest and they are going to be irrelevant. And then what do they do? And then what do they elect a fucking heterosexual white guy?
Starting point is 00:24:55 Of course. That's $28 million. dollars that's he says rich as the one percenters out there. exclusive postal code yeah of course and so they are already relevant. The NDP this guy has to, if he wants to make them a viable option, he has to go back to the NDP roots and say we exactly that. We have to go to the blue collars. Never a better time to do that probably either.
Starting point is 00:25:25 But they seem not to. the people that are getting the most air time from the convention that seems to me that is what the party is representing And if that Did you see the tribute to Jagmeet Singh? I saw it did a tribute They did a tribute to him a tribute They are
Starting point is 00:25:45 Like I say they're already relevant But in two Mondays from now They are going to be officially made irrelevant When the liberals pick up two seats to make them officially get majority government. If they pick up a third, that is just going to be gravy for them. And by the way, by the way, Abby Lewis lost his own riding too. He lost twice.
Starting point is 00:26:08 He's yet to win a seat. And one time was kind of close. And the other time was just a fucking, when was it close? When was it close? The 2021. Okay. It was close. Wow.
Starting point is 00:26:22 That's a. So we're going way back to this. 18,000 versus 24,000. I think that those are numbers. Wow. So once the end, the liberal party gets two seats, which is what they need to get a majority government.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And there are two seats in Toronto, Bill Blairs. No, they're going to get them. They're going to get them. They're going to get them. Those are slam dunks. You can run a fucking rock under the liberal banner.
Starting point is 00:26:42 And I'm not knocking that. There are some writings you can run an NDP and a rock in the wind and sort of. I live in one. They have this in the bag. That means the NEP have no say. They don't have any ability to say, you know what?
Starting point is 00:26:55 I'll vote for. you in the House of Commons I'll make sure that you'll be no election that this confidence vote will pass but I need this. They don't have that anymore that's gone. Do we get to see Avi like in QP from the rafters
Starting point is 00:27:10 like we did with Singh? Avi said he has, it's not high priority for him to run in an election and get a seat in House of Commons even if he did, even if he he did. I'm not sure
Starting point is 00:27:28 when did he say that on the weekend? From what I gather from what I was reading and everything it's not a priority is he wants to meet with all the premiers he wants to he wants to start building the party before he becomes a sitting MP so that being the case even if he wanted to become
Starting point is 00:27:48 a sitting MP which one of the five or six NDPs would say I'm leaving when the guy in Alberta left for Poliev. At least the conservatives, they were able to fund this guy. They were able to do shit. The NEP, they don't have any ability to pull strings and say, if you take, if you leave and have Lewis run your seat, you're going to get this. There's nothing to give.
Starting point is 00:28:11 It's basically you're going to give an empty promise. If I was a sitting member, I would say, fuck you. I'm not giving up my seat. You got to run somewhere else. And then somewhere else means, oh, you got to wait until next election. This guy could potentially wait four more, three more fucking years. before he's even going to get a sniff of getting a house of comments.
Starting point is 00:28:30 That's so funny. That is so funny. It's quite possible. So what's he going to do? Be tweeting videos of his thoughts? Like what's he? What is he going to be streaming? We're going to be competing with this guy?
Starting point is 00:28:39 They're relevant. You're talking about a party that does not have official party. I know, but they're not asking. They have to say as I've talked to his constituents somehow. And you look at the convention when they're waving the fucking the card out there and say like, I want to. That goes to show you. they don't fucking get it.
Starting point is 00:28:58 And they will continually not to get it. If the people out there that showed up, that they say they only have a voice over there, they have no voice outside of those halls, if those are the people that they're pandering to, all the more power to them, they're going to remain irrelevant. It's going to be continually moving forward.
Starting point is 00:29:19 It's going to be a liberal party of Canada, and it's going to be the conservative party of Canada, either are going to be one or the other that's going to win. and those other parties do mean fucking nothing in the end. Fuck them. Let's go to Hamilton versus Brantamon. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:34 We've tied. Okay. We do that. Okay. So yeah. It's sponsored by two. Before my voice leaves me entirely here. 256 heat.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Twan sets up these wonderful heating units out there. So I want to heat up a section of your house, a garage, a greenhouse, whatever the to fuck you want to heat up, he's able to provide you with one of these units out there. They don't just heat. They mine Bitcoin. You can mine in the pool where you could get stats on the daily or you can solo mine if you want and you can try for the whole reward yourself. You got these options out there. They are quiet.
Starting point is 00:30:11 They are evolving. They are looking mighty good these days. I'm not sure if the latest prototype has now made it into production, but it's looking very nice. He's building over there at 2506-8. Perfection. He's a perfectionist, right? He doesn't want to just sit on what he has. He wants to make it better and better.
Starting point is 00:30:30 So if you are going to go check him out, 256 heat.com, check them out. And if you're going to do so, make sure you say that we, the CBP sent you over to there. Joey has a unit running right beside him. You can't hear it. He's hot.
Starting point is 00:30:44 So is his area. Hot, hot, hot. But you know what? It's quiet as fuck. That's the way to do it, man. It's sick, man. My buddy was over on the weekend, like I said, and his first time he saw it.
Starting point is 00:30:52 He loved it. It's a no-brainer. once you have the need for heat, you don't buy a heater, you buy this thing. And it just, it's like Glenn said, once you start,
Starting point is 00:31:03 you ain't stopping. You ain't stopping. You ain't stopping. You'll be buying more. All right. We got a couple of stories. The Hamilton versus Brampton Man. And if you want to play this at home,
Starting point is 00:31:11 you can until the home game, the board game comes along. The actually is going to be play along the VHS. They deposit, everything goes off. Like nightmare. Yeah, great game. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:22 So we have an alleged alligator in a pond. alleged alligator turns up to be a beaver police so police officers went hunting for possible alligator in a storm drainage and this is on Friday night but the creature was enjoying the shallow water turned out to be a beaver and the police say the beaver was not taken into custody so according to reports from a caller the alleged gator was said to be five or six feet in length So animal control officers were called.
Starting point is 00:31:54 They joined in the search and police tweeted out that officers were on standby, ready to provide gatorade, they said. And the spokesperson for the police said that the alligator was reportedly seen 8.45 p.m. at the evening. And they took several pictures of the reptile people have. And they spotted in the park. And a few hours later after searching, the police got it. And it determined that the alligator was indeed a beaver.
Starting point is 00:32:19 How does that happen? 13 feet? five or six feet in length. That's a fucking massive massive beaver. How big are adult beavers? I can't look up. With the tail?
Starting point is 00:32:30 I'm gonna guess. I don't know. Adult beaver tail. Probably I can't look up on Google either. I'm one of you first. I can do it. So that's it. These people were confused by the alligator and a beaver and they decided, you know what?
Starting point is 00:32:42 I got to give a feeling about my guess already, but I got to hear the second story. Second one, do we have the egg shaped senior wanted for pepper spray robbery. And so an egg-shaped senior who could be seen pushing around 70 years old was one of two people wanted for an alleged break-in in a home. And he pepper sprayed the occupants and robbed them. And a police were called to the home around 4 p.m. on Monday. And according to people who lived at the home, the suspect broke in, chased them around and firing pepper spray demanding cash and drugs. And one of the residents handed over a small amount of cash and the suspect then took off. If you can hear my dryer, I've got to hang the clothes in just a few minutes.
Starting point is 00:33:22 So one of the people who lives in the home chased him out and only to be pepper sprayed again. This guy has a lot of pepper sprays. He's got it's packing. So the suspects escape the area and three people who lived in the home were treated for minor injuries. And the first suspect was described as an egg-shaped white man, about six feet tall and about 60 to 65 to 7 years old. He had a gray beard, gray hair and wearing a light colored hat. and the second suspect appeared to be a white man with a beard, dark
Starting point is 00:33:52 colors, clothing, and 20 to 30 years old, and with a bandage around one hand, must have broke some glass or something. So that's our two stories. We have the egg-shaped dude. Pepper spraying people versus the alligator or turned out to be a beaver.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Yeah, the Branson guy is the alligator beaver story for sure. There's no doubt about it. The Brampton man cannot identify a beaver. In a lake. He doesn't understand. alligators, don't show up in ponds in Northern Ontario. Southwest Ontario.
Starting point is 00:34:24 You're correct. That is indeed. It's a great story, though. That's it for the Hamzom versus Branson Day, which basically wraps up the show. Hope you enjoyed this episode of the Mighty CBP. We'll be back at this again in... Yeah. Easter Monday.
