Don't play XRP card. We should do the, I was looking in the media assets here for the Bitcoin mentor read, but I don't think it's here, even though you must have done it at least once while I was gone. No. You didn't do it. No. Who did it? I, you have never been gone.

Oh, I thought I was gone once. Okay. I thought I was gone. Sorry, you might have been gone once. My bad. So what I did through the magic of the intro web, I cut your ad reads. And I included it in the like say you read it last week and you're away this week. Yeah.

I took your last week ad as a video and had you do it. I had you do that and I think also easy DNS. I see the easy DNS one in the media assets here. But I don't see the, uh, the Bitcoin mentor one. I want to record one and just do it. I don't have to do every week. But listen, you should be using Bitcoin mentor. from Ben and Nathan and the guys over the BBC sessions team.

If you want to actually like plan properly for your. timely demise or for when your wife doesn't know how to use your keys or for when your kids are going to get your Bitcoin after you die, whatever. This is a place to go. You can either, you can do one of two things. You can either hope that everyone listens to your instructions and your incoherent ramblings about Bitcoin and the Fiat system at the dinner table, or you can plan properly with these guys. Go there. promo codes in the description. Do the right thing. Don't make a mistake. And let these guys take care of it for you. Okay. Notable North. Where do you want to start?

Well, let's talk about just really quick this one from the United States. I just want to mention this really quick story and 45 still being greater than 47. And this fucked up story about this limited edition commemorative passport that is being issued by the United States. I want to get one so bad. What the fuck is going on? And this is to celebrate the 20, sorry, 250th anniversary of American independence. and in this, of all things, ladies and gentlemen, the passport is going to include a picture of Donald Trump

in this limited release. If you want one of these guys, you've got to apply in-person at the Washington DC passport agency. That's the only one that is doing it. They say, from what I could tell, it's the picture of Donald Trump superimposed over the text of the Declaration of Independence. What the fuck is this?

Like how... Much of a narcissist. You have to put your fucking face in the passport. Fucking dumb. I don't know it. You're distant, buddy. Oh, hold on the second here.

There we go. I love this story. It's funny, but sign of the end times, right? Guys, the emperor putting his own head on the historical document that founded the country, the greatest country on earth,

maybe once in a time, probably still today, actually, to be honest with you. though the bars become much lower. I mean, vintage, Glenn, the guy,

the guy is a marketer. He's not a leader. And we're seeing now that, uh, that this is really the case. The only surprising thing, I would say, is that it's Trump's face and not Netanyahu's face, right?

Shouldn't it be BBs on the passport? Well, at the very least, they put the president of the United States, not the prime minister of another country. So they, they couldn't do that. They really couldn't.

Anyways. Today we got some news that Canada is going to be giving $270 million of aid to Ukraine. And keep pumping it out, agree with Joey. And they say that we're around $25 billion in total funding that is given to Ukraine right now. That's since the beginning of the 2022 invasion. The money is going to be used to buy munitions from United States. I thought that I just don't defeat the purpose

The whole like elbows Yeah we don't like these guys But how about this We're not going to do it direct We're to give you some money And then you go buy from them What do you call that? That sounds like a coin joint

Is that one block? Is that what that is? And then it was mentioned in the discord today Again I wish I could give Some context who said it But my apologies Apparently United States It's a shortage of munitions

because they have the war going on with Iran. And also they've been providing in the past a lot of equipment to Ukraine. We mentioned it a couple of years ago when Biden was in power that the army was in dire needs or they were a shortage of having ammo and shit like that. Now there's more that's going to be bought. I guess money talks, they'll be able to sell it to Ukraine through us somehow. anyways Carney said

that Canada is quote one of the largest per capita contributors to where's it like a batch of honor oh my god like you know what

so as per and this is the international.g.c.c.c.c.c. website over the years, that at one time the financial support we given the Ukraine government continued for their operations, including delivering essential government services and pensions to Ukraine. I remember that.

The pensions thing is, yeah, under-discuss these days, but I recall that. Imagine you have pensioners here struggling to get by, offering up made because they can't get the care that they need, and money that could have potentially been given or directed to services to help them out, given to a foreign country so they could pay their pensioners. I swear I cannot do two things. I cannot buy enough fucking Bitcoin.

I cannot. Like reading stories like this, just fucking open the wallet, take as much as you can, give me as much Bitcoin in return. Number two, I can't fucking leave fast enough. You know, stuff like this. I gotta say it's fucking embarrassing.

You know, like why? Let's fucking deal with the problems, the situations we have now. You know, we have homeless problems, maybe a crisis. We have people that are on fentanyl fucking dying. Why? Let's fucking deal with the problems we have here.

The crisis that we have here in Canada before paying pensions for some other governments. That's not the fucking priority. We're the fucking priority. I'm fucking tired of this. We need to be making sure of two things, right? That pensioners and veterans are taken care of. And then, of course, that the Maple Leafs have a better roster than the Montreal

Canadians to really make sure things are on the right track in this country. And the money's not going to either of those things. We can't have that. Can't not have that. This is a peso in my hand. Notice a Singapore dollar. Yeah, in the chat. Wedge.

Buddy, thank you for providing every fucking show. Dan Wedge was one of the first listeners of the show. You know, years and years ago. Yeah. I got a. I got to meet Dan Wedge. Dan Wedge, send me another email on my work address. We'll see if we can get together one of these days.

I still want to doggly. I saw the paper that he wrote me. I just don't want to put it there because I think it shows it where he works. What he sent me, thank you, buddy. I keep this and they hold it all the time in my hand. I can Singapore dollar. Love it.

The Ukraine, the Ukraine war funny thing is pretty wild. Only if for no other reason than because it's, I think it still flies in the face of the elbows up. Like a friend of the show, Rich Diaz tweets more and more. these charts of sort of the, you know, what I would call the decay of the Canadian promise. And every day the prime minister is releasing a new video where he's shaking hands or congratulating or being congratulated or offering a speech or listening to a speech or enjoying a dinner

or serving a dinner to some international nobility. And the question that Rich asks all the time is like, how is this helping Canadians? He's in Armenia right now, isn't he? Wherever he is. I think he's there. Wherever he's with him, by the way. Wherever we is, Len, he's not here. And, you know, I can appreciate that there's not always something here for the prime minister

that's more important than affairs abroad. Don't get me wrong. I can understand that. But we are, by his sort of own description, own definition, in a crisis moment, right? we're in a battle for our national unity in a lot of ways. We're in a battle for our future as a country. We're in a battle with our closest ally. These are all things that he would say, I think, the liberal party would say and has said

in campaign ads and other sort of adjacent media. But he's never here. So I think that the question you have to ask yourself between the money going overseas and the time spent here on shore, how much of this is actually true? The answer is fucking not much. So today, 9 a.m. He arrived in Armenia.

He was... You looking at his schedule? I'm looking at because it's on there. Yeah, public schedule. He arrived at the 8th European political community summit. And there was a pool photo opportunity. Talks about how we're the most European, non-European country, right?

I just don't know exactly what he said. But tomorrow, though, he's going to be in question period. But before that, at 8.45 a.m., the prime minister will participate in a sacred bundle ceremony with the national family and survivors circle to commemorate the National Day of Awareness for Missing and murdered Indigenous Women's girls. 80% of Indigenous women who get killed or kidnapped or kidnapped by Indigenous men, by the way. That's a fact. That's a stat. You can look that up.

And yeah. So it's- What an absolute, like, just. So, yeah, it's frustrating. It's frustrating. It's frustrating. It's frustrating. It's going to be there, 845. So right and early. So good for him that he's coming back for that. Yeah. We had now the economic update that came out just last week. And it was titled Canada Strong for All.

And in it, they launched the Canada Strong Fund, sorry, the Canada Fund where you're able to invest in the National Sovereignty Fund. It's going to be seated by $25 billion over the next three years in strategic sectors, like clean economy and stuff like. that. So they're going to pick and choose which companies it looks like are going to all losing ideas though. The companies might be winners in the short term but they're all losing ideas. The GDP projection for this year, Joey, is expected to be 1.2%.

So CPP reduction is going to take place next year from 9.9% to 9.5 so you'll start seeing that in July, sorry, January 1. It's $113 per person, I think, is the number per year. Yeah. And one nugget in this update, they have the idea of privatizing airports in Canada. Right now, the system is a little bit odd because the Canadian government, they own the land and airports are managed right now by private nonprofit authorities that pay rent to the government. And they want to dump this non-for-profit for a for-profit private equity system that is something similar that is done right now in UK and Australia.

so it's not like this is unprecedented. They say with this move, they'll be able to unlock a lot of money out there, and it's going to help out not only people, but also the federal governments will be able to collect some money. So the obvious question is, for those that did adopt this model, did the prices go up for travelers? And the answer is yes, prices increased about $20 per passenger following a private equity takeover.

How about the overall experience? Has that been better? Apparently, there was a lot of investment to, expansion terminals and monetizing the baggage system. And there is also a 50% reduction in flight cancellations and fewer delays. I have nothing else to add to that. I'm just saying what I read. Well, I tell you, I've had a couple of beers during the Bitcast.

And so I'm going to shoot from the hip here a little bit. The experience and the quality of the service you have on a flight is directly related to demographic that's taking that flight with you. That's number one. The economic update itself, the GDP. number is, the GDP number and the retirement funding, the RRSP funding, the pension funding, is a little bit skewed. I think because they took another surplus in the economic update that they're planning to, I believe. So the GDP actually is sort of buoyed by that accounting

in a way that's not really mentioned directly in the numbers. But our friend millennial moron did a couple of posts on this as well. So whatever benefit that the government is saying we're going to reap as a country from, you know, predictably, obviously it's, its policies are giving us these benefits. Not actually true and is actually a sneaking accounting trick, which has become the norm for this government, as we know, thanks to this, you know, slip between investment and operating and all this other nonsense that really is just bullshit for 50 IQ retards and party loyalists. If you're Canadian, you really have two choices, right? You can look at this stuff and clap like a seal, go to the ballot box, whatever, you know, join a local political action group,

or you can buy Bitcoin. I would suggest to you that at this point, it's too late to try and influence the outcome in politics in this country. The rules are set. The teams are impenetrable. And I think for the most part, the average person, like, the sort of average Canadian, regardless of age, it just has no impact on the outcomes at this stage. The inertia is too much. The party doesn't matter. The government doesn't matter. The timeline doesn't matter. It's all going one direction. You got to have something that's going to protect you from a lot of this stuff, man. Bitcoin, it's not real estate. It's not gold. It's not your TFSA. It's not Nvidia stock. It's, it is this. This is the thing that's going

to be with you when you leave. It's going to be able to help you. you become more agile as clamps come down. You know, it's not even on the docket, but the European Union today, their report that was published last week about the ways to nudge people into paying more taxes without causing a revolt, basically. Oh, I didn't hear about this one. Pretty crazy. I'll send it to you afterwards.

But Katie, the Russian, who I want to have on this show eventually, she's so well-spoken and has so much experience helping people with their passport situations. She's got a good eye on this stuff. And she's the one I saw it from first. And it was retweeted by a couple of big macroeconomic guys who have no reason to be following her. So I know it caught, it got some wind in the sales there. The policy around capital controls now, the outcome is already determined. The only question is how far and how quickly can these guys push without causing revolts?

They're not even going to do it in secret. They're going to write reports on it. you don't have enough Bitcoin. You do not have enough of this stuff, man. Simple. Well, they may do it in secret because it does, I mean, I'm not sure how much of it will be discussed in a committee, but you see that in committees now. They're closing the ability for access.

They're getting killed by their own media over a lot of this stuff. Chantelle, Erbert, how do you say your name, Herbert? Yeah, I know what you're talking about. She got on a bit of a heater about this last week with a coin who's also been on a bit of a heater. Toronto Star today calling Carney out for saying he's overseas comparing our sovereign wealth fund to Norway. It says nothing in common with it. Obviously the sort of sane and level-headed critics of this government and this government's policies, guys like us, BitCast, Looney Hour, the Karazza is over at your life your terms. We've been steady in trying to be, although it may not seem like it all the time, trying to be apolitical and just look at what's happening compared to what's being said.

I think now they're also losing the guys who they have in their pocket. By the way, they expanded the media subsidy to cover, I think up to 80% of newsroom salaries for the coming years. So truly it is a state-run media outlet now. the only, it seems like, loyalist left is Bruce Arthur, who's still seeing the praises of this government at all turns and criticizing conservatives because he knows he'll be unemployed in the soup kitchen line as soon as this gravy train ends. It's wild to see how fast this is happening,

but the sort of more wild thing is how so many Canadians are completely unaware of it. How many people in your life do you think know that this is going on? None. None. Zero. Like the answer is close to zero. Wasn't there a story that came out just yesterday, the day before about, I forget the exact stat. I saw it in passing. It was young people like one in 10 or something are radicalized as a result. Like it was, I forget exactly the number. And they say it's because of social media. Like it's because of the policy. It's because of the policy. And this is why social media is so important to get under, like get into a noose. They have to kill this thing because you

if you let young people talk to other young people and all get together and go, this is fucked up. I can't get a job. Everywhere I go, there's like a foreign Bronze Age language being spoken. People are fucking from a different country taking jobs that belong to us. I'm tweeting more and more about LMI and TFW programs. I'm seeing myself get a lot of traction.

But there's still these fucking morons in the replies saying, oh, these people just want to start a life and have a career. I don't fucking care. I don't fucking care. Send them home. Canada is in trouble. The youth here are in trouble.

Employers are cheating. They're bringing over their own ethic, their own ethic colleagues, ethnic colleagues, to fill these jobs that used to be for Canadians. It's not just about Tim Horton's work. It's about if that kid doesn't get a job of Tim Horton's at 14, then he doesn't have the social skills to go to high school or university. He doesn't have the job experience. He can't talk to adults.

He can't be an economic contributor. And then your pension suffers. And you're going to bring over more people from the third world. Everyone's seen the videos at this point of these people. They wash their clothes in the lakes. They do all this other shit. I'm not going to go down this path tonight. But you can see for yourself that the tentacles that these policies have are no longer hypothetical.

They're no longer hypothetical. They are in your face now. And this is no joke. Once a day that I drive. I drive on a highway when I do it. Like literally once a day. And I'm not fucking making a joke of this. I'm not trying to like make it.

It's not hyperbole. I almost get wiped out. Every fucking day. Yeah. It's like it's fucking incredible. Same guy all the time. I just saw a guy driving with a turban. I just saw a guy with a turbine driving today in my neighborhood, a delivery truck on his cell phone.

And all I said to my wife, I'm like, this, there are kids on this street and this guy is on his fucking phone driving through residential area. like I'm sorry but I'm not going to tolerate it anymore and I don't think anyone who listens to this show or watches this show should tolerate it either. Start saying the hard thing. When I dropped my daughter off one day, this is a couple of months ago and it just snowed and it was still a little bit, a little icy in the ground still. And a stop sign we get to it. I stop as I'm walking her. This guy comes in fast. Floors it.

It fucking snobroaks late. If it was dry, he probably would have been able. He's just slid right through. I'm just looking, I'm like, I point to the stop sign, like, what the fuck? My daughter's like, you're not going to fight. I'm like, like, the fucking, he's like looking at me like it's my fault. Buddy, you fucking blew through an intersection. He blew through a four-way stop.

And if I was standing there, you would have fucking clip me and killed me. Like, I'm tired of this shit. Was this the Hamilton Batman's segment already? We could talk quickly about Brampton. Let's talk about mortgage delinquencies. What's going on over there? Equifax and CMBC saying that that Brampton is number one when it comes to that. 90 days in or more in the rear.

it reached the highest since, well, in decades. So, yeah, people over there for whatever reason, for other reason, it's surging 0.6% as of quarter 4, 2025, and quarter 1, 2026. If you want to compare it to other areas, GTA overall is 0.24%. 0.6 to 0.24.4. That is a massive fucking change, even nationally. she would change um 0.0.06 to 0.24

yeah 0.6 oh sorry yeah yeah missed radio okay yeah and even nationally it's only 0.26 like the gta is kind of on par with so like there's just one segment just one that is fucking huge in terms of this why who knows what was done the banks are gonna feel it but really when the banks feel it we feel it is they're too big to fail

if anything happens they got to get a bailout. They got to get backed up. CMHC, they got a bail. Who's the CMHC? We are fucking it. So, love this stuff. Keep doing it. Privatize the gains, socialize the losses. I love to see it. I like buying

more Bitcoin as a result. Some other great stats in that release three times more deaths in home fires in Branton than the national average. There was a few other ones in there that I forget now. Oh, it was auto thefts.

you know there's like a seven X or something like that higher like no matter what the problem is for you as uh you know for me i live in in dundas hamilton whatever uh my car insurance this year i had to pay a thousand dollars up front for my wife's car because it's on the high theft list no one's stealing it here they're stealing it there um you know you're the the mortgage uh market is impacted significantly by delinquencies banks have loan loss provisions that go up every year that correlate to the knowledge of the bank stock but also to sort of economic vulnerability broadly speaking in the country people look at that data especially the loan loss provision data and they say okay well here's what the banks we're preparing for maybe

we should prepare for it too it impacts markets well it's not like like you have one section of the population again like i know who's living in brampton you know listener viewer who's living in brampton why do we tolerate this why do we tolerate this kind of behavior and this kind of sort of antisocial in the technical sense. This is not beneficial to society. You can't keep allowing this to happen. I saw today the government's fast-tracking 33,000 more TFWs to be PRs. It's fucking do it.

It's fucking insane. It's fucking insane. Like, I can't, if you don't own Bitcoin and you're not thinking about, you know, if things don't get better somehow magically, leaving and having the most agility possible, I can't help you. If you're not, if you haven't taken, you know, I'll plug ready.ca. If you haven't been to ready.com, and taking like the test to see how prepared you are really. Like, are you prepared if you need legal help?

Are you prepared if you need financial assistance? You prepared if you need a community. Do you know how to grow your own food? Do you know how to defend your property? What are you allowed to do? What are you not allowed to do? Like, you're going to need these things sooner than you think. And I think the lesson from Bitcoin that really landed with me a long time ago,

but should lane with you guys too. You have to do all these things, something as simple as self-custody or something as complex as a legal structure around property defense. Do it before you need it. Because when you need it, it's going to be too late. That is the lesson here. And too late is coming faster and faster and faster. You see it everywhere. You see it everywhere.

Statistics Canada came out with a report. the 2024 Canadian income survey, one in 10, more than one in 10, actually. 11% of Canadians are living below the poverty line, Joey. 11%. That's approximately 4.5 million people are living below the poverty line. And I want to talk about the poverty line in just a second. What the fuck that makes, what it means?

In terms of the 11% of Canadians living there, same in 2024 as it was in 2023. It's flat. but 2020 was 7%. So there's a pretty sharp rise. It's a big jump. Yeah, big jump. They say that indigenous are twice as likely to be in poverty. Send them some more money.

How many billions can we send them? None of it has the highest. I'm so fucking, I am so fucking sick of this. I am so fucking sick of this. Every fucking week we talk about the same shit. It drives me fucking crazy. Well, none of it has the highest rate of poverty,

31.7%. Imagine that's almost one third. Okay. So what is the poverty rate? Okay, this is fucking interesting, Joey, because a family of four, think of how much money

a family of four would have to make to be considered the... Let me guess. Let me guess. And I'll do my regions. Like, we'll say Toronto, since we... Let's do Toronto, sure, yeah, we're close to the GTA. Let's do, I would say that, like, if I think

about my own costs, your mortgage, so your mortgage is $3,000 a month, maybe 3,500 a month. But you can do rent for $2,000, probably. What are you renting in Toronto for $2,000 with a family of $4? Nothing. You could probably do a, like, a basement for $2,000. You know what I mean?

Like, you could really, like, let's give them help here. Okay, sure. Let's say $2,000 in rent. Let's say $1,000 in daycare. Let's say $2,000 in groceries. No, maybe $1,500 in groceries. we'll say 200 in miscellaneous so call that diapers and maybe some other shit

another 7,800 in cars 4,000 and change minimum 5 grand I would say Yeah, so like so the threshold that they give us is almost $62,000 for family for it I don't know who would be able to live 62 for family of 4

I don't know that I don't know that I don't know the family income how somebody would be able to survive for a family of four. Every stat is just fake and made up. So they say that 11% fall below this. Now if we adjust this, say, we'll say 80,000 is the number

because that's, you know, or maybe 90,000 for a family of four. Got to be even higher than that. Then that 11% becomes 20%. Then the poverty line, the number of people living, it just explodes. It's a quarter.

or something. So like Montreal they're saying is $49,000 to be considered a... There's no way. There's no way. Calgary, 57. Vancouver, here we go.

This is Vancouver. 628. It's not true. It's just not true. So if you're in Vancouver and you're making 628 as a family, gross, you are just at the cusp

of a family of four. So let's change it. Let's say it's 95 100 grand, 100 grand in Vancouver for family of four. You're probably struggling. It's still 100 grand. How many people then? That 11% becomes fucking 25% or something.

Like, you know what I mean? So like this, it's the just adjusting of these numbers, the changing. This is all pre-tax. This is gross, by the way. Yeah. So that's a boomer's asking. So that's, you know what I mean? Like you hear this?

You got to dig in and it's like, we're more fucked than we think we are. Oh, yeah. They're making up. They're just making up shit. up data. I'm making up stories. It's all a joke. It's all a joke. Let's go to the Brampton, man. Yeah, let's do it. 256 heat's a sponsor. You can't beat 256 heat. We're going to Twan's for dinner on Friday. Don't forget, Len, don't be late. I'm going to take an Uber there because I want to have a couple of

whiskeys with Twan and talk about his newest prototype. I don't know if you guys have seen it. I don't know if it's even public. Are the boxes public yet? I don't know. It's like a third edition or third Maybe I'm willing a surprise, but there is a really slick version of the 256 heat heater coming up. Just make sure you distract them so I could just put one in my pocket in it. It wouldn't fit. But I'm taking that motherfucker home. I'll distract him while he's making us stakes. I'll steal you one too.

Don't worry, Joe. I appreciate that. You should be able to carry two of them. They're so small. No problem. I realize it's summer now. And mine is not running right now because it's hot. It's like 25 degrees in Hamilton or 20 degrees in Hamilton.

him. So the room gets a little hot this time of year. But when the fall comes, I'm going to turn it back on. And when I turn it back on, it's going to work. And it's going to be quiet, just like it was all winter during the recordings of this show. And you guys can be doing the same thing. You want to join a pool, join a pool. You want to mind solo, mine solo. Do it in a way that makes sense. Heat your house, heat your garage, heat your bedroom, whatever, and get paid to do it. That's the way. That's what Twan gives you. 2506e.com's website. Tell them we sent you, you get some kind of discount, I think. I don't know what it is. And make sure that when you talk to him, you tell him exactly what you need, he will walk you through a custom solution that makes

sense for you. Can't beat that. Okay. So we have a couple of stories here. Number one, we have charges laid in bank investigator scam targeting a senior. I already know who this is. Okay, go ahead. So police, they have arrested and charged somebody in connection with fraud targeting an elderly victim through a bank investigator scam. And the victim received a call from an individual impersonating a bank investigator who claimed the victim's account has been flagged for money laundering. I guess they were doing something with the Bitcoin ATMs. The caller instructed the victim to transfer funds from one account to another, believing the request, to be legitimate, the victim complied. And then following an investigation, this 25-year-old was arrested and charged was

fraud over $5,000. Possession of property, attained over $5,000. So there you go. So this person very cunning and was able to get dupe at least one person into giving up some money. So the bank investigator scam, if you get called by one, it could be from a Hamilton or Brampton person. That's story number one.

Brent in person. Okay, yeah. Number two, we get, man gets 21 years in police-led drug slash weapons bust. And this was a Facebook marketplace transaction for a TV. It quickly turned into several drug and weapons transaction worth tens of thousands of dollars. This man was sentenced to 21 years in prison minus time served because there was a full-blown commercial enterprise for drugs and guns.

And so this whole thing wrapped up in March 2020. He was pleaded guilty just last months. It's all really recent stuff. But this is resulting in over $5 million in drugs and weapons. So also there was another person pleaded guilty for trafficking fentanyl. And yeah, so it's actually there's three people in total. But yeah, so these people initially started. They did the investigation.

it was they tried to through Facebook marketplace the purchase of a TV and they did this back in January purchased the TV for $700 certainly wasn't a CRT for that much so for this purchase they drove down to a storage locker on route they advised that they also have other things that's available for sale cocaine and fentanyl and then that was just the first of many transactions done with this guy so they did numerous transactions and the fentanyl cocaine and crystal meth for different occasions money's changed hands in excess of $20,000 and then eventually the discussion moved over to firearms and $13,000 for firearms

were three different handguns and yeah, this guy ended up getting nabbed. 23 kilos of fentanyl street value of $4.7 million. Also meth valued a $680,000. Glock and start rifle style weapon, ammunition and shit like that. So there you go. Those are the two stories.

have guys selling a TV turned into buddy you want guns you you you you watch a storage locker full of guns and drugs versus the scam for the investigator so who's the Bramton and who's the Hamilton man man I I got to tell you that I think most of the time the answer is if it's drug related like something stupid like I got to I got drugs. I got drugs in my storage locker. It's almost always the Brampton man. The Brampton man is brazen, not that bright and wants to just get the deal done. He's happy to say it to you. He's the same guy who will like, you know, we've all seen the videos of these guys propositioning girls. So I'm not surprised if the Brampton man does that. Now, the only thing that gives me pause is that the Brampton man doesn't seem like the storage locker type. You know, they see. seem like to do it at home type. So I'm conflicted here. Well, normally I would say that the guy who did the phone scam, the bank investigator,

how to do the bank investigator scam with the Brampton Man voice. But you know what? This time I'm going to go against my best judgment. I'm going to say that the Brampton man tried the phone scam. And it was a Hamilton man who did the storage locker. You are 100% wrong on this one. Oh, wow, I was about to celebrate. Oh, damn.

Yeah, so actually it was a lady that was the Hamilton. What was her name? It was 25-year-old Janella Mangivar Mullison, 25 of Hamilton. So just arrested on April 8, 2026. And the other one was a trio of people. And yeah, so he was 25 years old, I think. Anyways, he definitely is a hampton. Some names?

Can we get some names? Oh, jeez. Coleman. Richard Coleman. Yeah. Yeah. So that's the guy from Brampton. Richard Coleman.

There was a second and a third guy. Third guy from Hamilton, by the way. Damn, really. So do I win on a technicality? I'm giving you the win. I'm giving you, certainly it's been in technical. There was a third person involved, third man in. You got to game his conduct.

I think I've lost, I think I've lost three of these things over the year or so that we've done this. Yeah, we've probably done what? Like 20 or so. Minimum. minimum. I would say even more than that. Yeah. We ripped a full episode on Christmas. I think it was four a piece. And we've done... Oh my God. It was a fucking beauty of an episode.

Yeah, we've done a bunch more around... We gotta do that again. I love that. 100% we got to do it again. Totally. The best story I still remember was that guy that hooked up those fucking balloons to the Calgary guy. That's right. He got close to airplanes. And it's great. What a fucking joke. Oh, great. It would be off, but you just decided to do them. All right. That's it. for us. Hope you enjoyed this episode and we're

fucking done. That's it. We're out of here. Take care of yourselves. Look out for scams. And we'll see you next week. Have a good one. Take care. And don't be a shit coiner.
