Daniel Boardman is a good friend of mine, but he is also now viral in India.
00:00:23.300
Daniel Boardman is more viral in India than the Nipah virus.
00:00:34.340
We recently, today, we got a line skip out of Tim Hortons in Canada at a Circle K
00:00:41.620
because Daniel Boardman is now the largest Indian celebrity in Canada behind Russell Peters.
00:00:53.660
How are you feeling with all of this sudden success?
00:01:09.000
You are, like, if somebody were to ask you, what just happened the last two weeks,
00:01:19.200
It's just instantly blowing up and a whirlwind, and the most of this is there's a nine and a half hour time difference between India and Canada.
00:01:29.240
So, like, it's just things happen, and then every night before I go to bed, and then I wake up,
00:01:35.580
and then it's, like, primetime in India, and everything's happening, and I'm just swamped with requests.
00:01:40.180
So, you're saying that you're on primetime TV in India?
00:01:44.300
Like, you're the Wolf Blitzer of India right now.
00:01:46.120
I'm not Wolf Blitzer, but on Wolf Blitzer's show, he brings me on, right?
00:01:53.920
Like, I lost my voice by, again, I've been, rather than, I do, like, I get requests for, like, every half hour slot from different Indian TV networks just every day,
00:02:05.160
and then I fill that out, and then I try and do, like, I've been invited to a bunch of different podcasts and just doing the podcast circuit.
00:02:14.100
You, Daniel Boardman, made a tweet about the killing of a Calistani, which, if you don't know what Calistanis are,
00:02:29.960
So, there was a Calistani guy killed in Canada days after Trudeau got back to Canada from India.
00:02:40.160
Days after he got back, he expelled an Indian diplomat and basically blamed India for his murder.
00:02:46.960
He, and, or, he said there's a, he said there's a report that he has with a potential link to the Indian government,
00:02:53.860
and then he kicked the ambassador out over it before the investigation was concluded on the basis of a potential link.
00:02:59.900
The Indian ambassador has been kicked out of Canada.
00:03:03.880
Sorry, there was one diplomat, head of a thing.
00:03:05.460
There was an Indian diplomat kicked out of Canada, and then a Canadian diplomat kicked out of India.
00:03:14.180
I was sort of, like, the handling of it was insane, and I tweeted that.
00:03:18.960
But, you know, this is not the first time I've covered the Indian issue.
00:03:22.260
So, the next day, I just saw the, like, geopolitical, national, international implications of what it was.
00:03:29.460
And I'm like, I'm going to make a 101 video and just go.
00:03:33.600
So, what you're saying is you're single-handedly, like, bringing the world closer to World War III, is what you're saying.
00:03:39.700
So, further away, I think, I'm trying to salvage Indian-Canadian relationships by trying to explain to both sides what the other thinks and wants,
00:03:48.220
so we can come to some sort of conclusion that doesn't end with both our countries severing ties, which is the way it's going.
00:03:53.640
With that being said, we just have breaking news right now, breaking news at The Banker Show today.
00:04:09.440
In India, Indian TV has threatened to nuke Canada.
00:04:28.880
So, the great thing about Indian TV is you don't have any...
00:04:41.380
So, they just invite you on, and then you come in.
00:04:43.920
Unlike in Canada, where they, like, if you're going on the CBC or Global, they'll ask you, like,
00:04:48.820
what are you going to say about this issue exactly before you say it, and then decide whether or not they'll have you on after that.
00:04:56.400
They're just like, this is Daniel Borden, and we're going to worry about England.
00:05:01.640
Probably won't get back on, but, like, because there's...
00:05:04.900
You killed it hard, and now you're the most in-demand pundit in Indian news history.
00:05:12.340
I'm not sure Indian news history, but current Indian news cycle.
00:05:24.720
Are Indian women now messaging you, trying to get an arranged marriage?
00:05:45.420
That's the show that Borden was on yesterday, saying that they want a new Canada.
00:06:13.340
You only do the English-speaking channels in India.
00:06:19.060
I don't speak Bengali or any of the, like, other languages in India other than English.
00:06:34.500
Armin and I call you the Birdman because you are bird-like.
00:06:41.040
You are now on billboards in India, potentially.
00:07:03.500
Oh, that'd be a pretty funny bit for me to go on that one.
00:07:34.060
How do you not know how to fucking silence your phone?
00:07:47.420
I mean, I am generally pretty curious on international...
00:07:57.700
So, I used to do Tag TV, which is like India-focused Southeast Asian television in Canada.
00:08:08.440
But through that, I had met, like, you know, Baloch human rights activists, Kashmiri's...
00:08:17.720
No, it's, like, a place in Pakistan that was, like, promised autonomy but never given it.
00:08:21.320
And that's, like, it's, like, human rights abuses.
00:08:24.600
And general, you know, it's not good human rights situation in Pakistan.
00:08:29.220
Why do you think Jews care so much about everything?
00:08:41.880
So, what is actually happening between Canada and India right now?
00:08:50.660
Canada has kept alive a violent ethnic separatist movement.
00:08:55.940
And listen, countries don't like balkanization.
00:08:59.220
They don't like different ethnic groups picking up arms and trying to separate from their country.
00:09:05.540
So, there's a big, you know, clash between the Calistani movement and India in the 1980s.
00:09:13.500
Funded mostly by Pakistan after the wars with India.
00:09:16.340
And over from about 1985 to 1995, India pretty much had to take out the Calistani movement and then crushed it there.
00:09:24.320
So, what you're saying is that not all brown people like each other.
00:09:30.720
So, the turban guys don't like the non-turban guys.
00:09:34.140
No, the majority of Sikhs in India are not Calistanis.
00:09:39.820
This is a fringe Pakistani-funded movement because most Sikhs don't want to move to Pakistan because all the Sikhs have nearly been murdered and wiped out of Pakistan.
00:09:55.700
There is no president of Calistan, but he could be.
00:10:01.760
Calistan would be a Sikh separating the Punjab region in India and turning it into Calistan, which would be an independent Sikh country.
00:10:14.140
They want to be independent Sikh, but they're not.
00:10:17.140
What's happening, this is why India is so mad at Canada.
00:10:32.100
So, okay, what they're mad at is, in Canada, the Calistani movement has been allowed to grow and thrive through pretty much tacit endorsement from the government.
00:10:40.980
The worst terrorist attack in Canadian history is the Air India bombing of the 1980s.
00:10:45.700
And then we've had Calistani extremists try to assassinate Indian MPs and officials.
00:11:00.460
Somebody told me that Epstein and Weinstein did a 9-11 back in the day.
00:11:15.760
This was a real Calistan bomb that killed people on an airplane going to Cuba from Canada.
00:11:35.400
So, you remember when Trudeau went to India in 2018?
00:11:38.280
He invited a terrorist, a convicted terrorist in Canadian court, this guy Jasper Atwal.
00:11:42.240
And he showed up at their delegation to take pictures.
00:11:44.200
So, the Calistani movement has grown and flourished in Canada because we just were too much of a pussy to do anything about it.
00:11:51.120
It's because they're speaking a language that we don't understand, so we don't know what they're doing or what they're up to.
00:11:57.100
Because they're just online going, and then we're like, okay, we don't know what that is.
00:12:02.360
That's a pretty good synopsis of what happened there.
00:12:06.360
But there have been some of that's been a bit in non-English.
00:12:11.700
And the government didn't do anything about it.
00:12:13.520
Some Calistani extremists are threatening Hindus right now.
00:12:21.700
Specific ones are going on, and some of the leaders, like, the...
00:12:33.080
So you're telling me that the Turban guys are mad at the other guys.
00:12:38.840
And the only hope for peace in the country of Canada is Danielle Boardman.
00:12:48.360
So without you, what would be happening right now?
00:12:56.540
Well, they would be nowhere near as entertained.
00:13:02.880
Here's a little segment of Danielle Boardman going off on Indian TV.
00:13:11.760
There's also things that you can open source and corroborate those specific details.
00:13:17.460
We have videos of Arditson Adger firing off AK-47s.
00:13:21.420
We have videos of him sympathizing with terrorism.
00:13:28.800
There's a story in the Vancouver Sun from 2016.
00:13:33.140
That this guy might be running a terrorist training camp in British Columbia.
00:13:39.040
So I just did my own open source intelligence briefing to prove that he was involved in terrorist activities.
00:13:46.040
This is absolutely insane behavior by the Canadian government.
00:14:08.820
Yes, Dave Enby hedged that there might be some top secret non-open source thing that we still haven't seen.
00:14:16.980
But if we had anything, why wouldn't we show it to the Indian government?
00:14:20.380
The Prime Minister has just said that this information was shared with India two weeks ago.
00:14:25.460
Until two days ago, the Ministry of External Affairs in India has said there has been no information.
00:14:32.120
There has been no evidence that has been shared.
00:14:37.060
I mean, what Enby said is we have open source intelligence, which is Googling it, right?
00:14:47.100
I mean, what I postulated as the most likely thing with the Trudeau report, because unfortunately I speak fluent Justin Trudeau.
00:14:56.320
And I can't remember where I said this because I've been talking for the last four days everywhere.
00:15:02.480
Whenever a someone, a Sikh person dies in Canada or anywhere, there are insane Calistani conspiracy theorists who go off.
00:15:15.640
Did some Calistani nutjob just start emailing CSIS and the RCMP, a bunch of Twitter and Google stuff, and they coalesced it into one thing that said, oh, here is something with India maybe.
00:15:26.400
And they probably put that report in their desk.
00:15:27.660
And for some reason, the prime minister decided to pick that thing up and start a diplomatic war.
00:15:36.680
And Daniel obviously has a lot to say on there.
00:15:39.680
I feel like they give you a lot more time than they would on like a Canadian TV station.
00:15:47.280
And then like the more I've kind of gone a bit viral, the more I kind of get more time and questions thrown to you.
00:15:52.480
Like what was the most viral video that you had in the last two weeks?
00:15:56.540
I think the first major video, like the 101, like when I explained what was going on in like the 14-minute video, that was like the most viral.
00:16:05.820
Like over a million views on Twitter and then over a million on Facebook.
00:16:09.360
Like Instagram, then people were taking the video and like uploading it themselves.
00:16:12.740
And some guy said it was like going huge on Reddit.
00:16:17.420
And then like the first moment I had on Indian TV, I was on with the most like left-wing Indian television host they had there.
00:16:30.020
And then I just like went off and was me and very based and like whatever.
00:16:33.640
And then he was like, strong words, commercial.
00:16:43.080
I was picturing it more like radio, antenna, tin roof, shantytown.
00:16:51.120
But you're telling me they have like a flourishing society there.
00:16:55.080
And rapidly, especially under the recent government of, you know.
00:17:07.180
That's the, he's always unpopular in the West to some people because the way that the Washington Post would portray him would be the Trump of India.
00:17:15.540
Isn't that racist though for people in the West to, it's, it's, to call a politician from another country who is another race, not white, the Trump of their country just because they don't like his policies.
00:17:28.460
Because saying somebody is the Trump of somebody if you're left wing means you hate them.
00:17:33.180
And if saying somebody, somebody is the Trump of something if you're right wing means you love them.
00:17:37.440
Yeah, it's, it's not a productive way to look at any serious political issue, but we do it.
00:17:43.240
Are you thinking about getting a mansion in India and having 10 to 12 Indian slaves slash wives slash maids?
00:17:57.280
Because that's what I'm, that's what I'm thinking is going to happen if you keep going viral in India as I'm moving there and I am personally hiring a, um, what do you call a group of Indian women?
00:18:11.840
A gaggle of Indian girls to take care of the Jewish community center in Mumbai.
00:18:24.580
If like, so basically your viral sensation, you're on TV every single day in India right now.
00:18:34.080
Since September 19th, since like the first one last Tuesday.
00:18:40.840
And like, so every day you're going on zoom and you're actually on live TV.
00:18:45.560
Like millions of people can watch this on their TVs in India or are.
00:18:50.160
And there's clips of it on Instagram and YouTube and Twitter from those TV stations of you every single day for the last like over a week.
00:19:07.620
Like what's the, what's the worst thing that could happen with all this shit?
00:19:10.920
There's always worst case scenarios, but like, listen, you can get hit by a car walking outside.
00:19:27.740
Like, yeah, you can always catastrophize what's going to happen, but generally not.
00:19:36.700
Not while he's in office, but I think if I got sued by Jagmeet Singh, I think I could get like a billion dollars raised off of the Indian people to help me fight Jagmeet.
00:19:48.200
But why is Jagmeet Singh so obsessed with the gays?
00:19:53.840
Even though he wears a turban and he's like, yo, I'm Sikh.
00:19:58.580
Because Sikh people, like, is being gay accepted in Sikh culture?
00:20:13.600
Hey Siri, how do the Sikhs feel about the gays?
00:20:27.180
Sikhism has no specific teachings about homosexuality.
00:20:31.260
In the Sikh holy scripture, the guru, Gran Sahib, does not explicitly mention heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality.
00:20:39.440
The universal goal of Sikh is to have no hate or animosity to any person, regardless of factors like race, caste, color, creed, or gender.
00:20:47.960
Okay, so all Sikhs are gay is what I just read in my head.
00:20:56.620
It's that we don't have a general problem with Sikhs or Sikhism.
00:21:01.260
Because they have a long, rich history in India.
00:21:06.760
And the majority of Indians, Sikhs, are not Khalistanis.
00:21:10.300
Now, there has been fomented by mostly ISI, like, money.
00:21:28.020
How can you tell if your Uber driver is Pakistani, Kalistani, or Indian, or Hindu, or native?
00:21:41.440
If they have an AK-47 tattoo on their neck, and they have a turban, is it possible they're
00:21:50.460
And those are the people that want to potentially kill you?
00:21:59.280
Well, I want to take this moment to say that I do not stand behind any of Daniel Boardman's
00:22:06.680
We are simply here to raise awareness about the last few months of Daniel's life before
00:22:28.520
Canada's harboring criminals, but like, why do we care?
00:22:35.520
I mean, their politicians have faced assassination attempts in our country.
00:22:39.500
There have been incidents where they think Kalisthenians are traveling to India to commit terrorist
00:22:46.800
So, it's very serious for India because Canada has sort of become somewhat of a breeding ground
00:23:01.700
I think, you know, if there's Hindus going up saying crazy things like nuke Canada, yeah,
00:23:07.120
And if there's Hindus going, like, we're the superior race, we're the Hindu, we're the
00:23:10.780
ultimate culture, we will convert everyone or die, then they're crazy people.
00:23:17.720
So, just because people are going crazy doesn't give you the excuse to go crazy yourself.
00:23:32.220
Well, we're about to have a lot less with this visa issue.
00:23:34.820
So, that question's been answered by Justin Trudeau.
00:23:37.300
I, like a lot of people, read the visa news and thought immediately, oh, great, they're
00:23:46.660
But instead, it's I can't go there, which sucks because I was planning on it, going for...
00:23:55.540
I like the videos of the street food where there's just bees and wasps and ants all over it.
00:24:06.900
Are you famous enough in Canadian Indian circles to start selling out theaters?
00:24:13.920
Can you become the Jordan Peterson of Indian people?
00:24:17.560
Can you take this to another level and have you figured what is that look like?
00:24:25.120
I mean, I want to sort of at some point see, yeah, what is the ability for me to do an event
00:24:38.040
I mean, it's just been such a whirlwind and I just want to kind of get through all the
00:24:41.780
commitments I've made to like all these, you know, big podcasts and things and stuff
00:24:50.040
Yeah, I'm going to flood the idea, but yeah, I want to start to go out in the world and
00:24:56.940
ramble at people live because I love doing that.
00:25:00.280
I mean, TV is fun, but you know, it's not as good as real people.
00:25:12.140
I've reached out to a bunch of people and some people with organizations and they're
00:25:15.720
very happy and they want to work together and do something.
00:25:18.020
They're just having that time to book like a venue and put it in because it's just too
00:25:26.040
But I put out a, to all the contacts I had in the Hindu community before I went viral,
00:25:32.020
I reached out to them and started working on something.
00:25:37.360
Now, you were afraid to have Armin Arbabi on this podcast because you were worried that
00:25:42.080
you would ruin your career in India as a Ben Shapiro impersonator.
00:25:51.040
Is it possible that the Indians thought you were Ben Shapiro and asked you if you were
00:26:00.980
That happened twice and I took advantage of it.
00:26:10.360
I feel like I could apply, like I should like apply for jobs in like third world countries
00:26:17.200
Like just like I should reach out to like Mogadishu.
00:26:34.860
Ethiopian food is you have the big foamy bread thing that's I don't think made of.
00:26:46.880
But that was just because it wasn't the best one.
00:26:57.400
I find Indian restaurant food overrated, but Indian home-cooked food, really good.
00:27:02.160
How often are you eating a home-cooked Indian meal in an Indian person's home?
00:27:07.760
I did so more when I was at Tag TV back in the day when like at the office.
00:27:12.220
Yeah, they're very nice there and here's wife would cook.
00:27:17.820
And then, yeah, I've gone to events and been invited to some dinner parties from people
00:27:20.760
because of the different stuff I've done over the years.
00:27:24.860
I have some, I've been in, you know, my friends in the Kashmiri Pondit community have been
00:27:31.260
What happens if nobody cares about India anymore?
00:27:35.140
I think that India is going to keep being in the news.
00:27:37.240
But if that did happen, would you be changing your focus to something else?
00:27:46.820
I talk more about Iran than I do about India in terms of like countries that are not Canada
00:27:52.760
So, there's always been a myriad of things I could talk about.
00:27:55.980
Like, yeah, I could talk about Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, Canada, America, all
00:28:00.600
these geopolitical things and all national Canadian issues because I could talk about
00:28:04.400
Like, there's just a lot of, I'm like a political nerd.
00:28:07.980
Is it true you got job offers from Global News and CTE and CBC?
00:28:12.100
There was, I don't want to say out loud before something's confirmed, but yes, I've had opportunities and people have reached
00:28:21.620
Within the last two weeks from Indian stations to do some work with them.
00:28:30.620
So, I said I'd get back to them after Yom Kippur.
00:28:34.100
Is it possible all of this is fake and this was just Omni-1?
00:28:43.160
It could just be a random TV station in Canada has created the entire.
00:28:48.860
What's your favorite news station right now in India to be on?
00:28:55.500
I don't know if it's, it's, it just depends on the topic.
00:29:01.800
Like, I, I just enjoy going on and, and, you know, it, it, I haven't had anyone like really
00:29:10.140
like screw me over any anchor, like, you know, undermine me or any way or all the producers
00:29:16.560
who've been booking me have been very nice and polite.
00:29:19.680
Do you think it's because you're Jewish and they think you control the media in Canada?
00:29:31.680
They, but they don't know anything about like our culture.
00:29:36.380
No, they, they like and respect us because they know we're an old civilization in Israel.

00:30:31.380
And we're back with Daniel Boardman, the viral sensation from the Jewish neighborhood in Toronto.
00:30:43.540
How did you become so good at speaking English to Indians?
00:30:55.100
It's like everyone's second language in India is English.
00:30:58.380
Yeah, you can tell it's a second language because it doesn't sound like the verse.
00:31:01.640
But so, the Indians in India speaking English, that's their national language.
00:31:09.340
There's a lot of opportunity in India that I think people are ignoring.
00:31:12.480
And I think a lot of people, once this ban happened from India saying that Canadians can't go to India,
00:31:17.980
all of a sudden Canadians are like, fuck, should I be in India?
00:31:20.720
Should I have like 10 sweatshops and be selling Nikes to Walmart?
00:31:25.980
You know, there's opportunities there to exploit vulnerable people and make hundreds of millions of dollars off of their slave labor.
00:31:39.520
I would like to own a few factories with underpaid workers that didn't have proper working conditions.
00:31:51.460
Insurance comes in, pays for a new building, get new workers.
00:31:54.620
Those are the types of things that I'd like to be doing in India.
00:31:58.100
When did you realize that this was just, like, do you agree with me that India is the, like,
00:32:04.900
if this ban wasn't in existence, I as a Canadian could go to India and make a ton of money selling forced labor?
00:32:18.740
You can make a ton of money in India because it's like a growing market opportunity.
00:32:22.100
But just coming in and, like, declaring yourself a slave or not, might not be the best business model.
00:32:38.380
But I could get, like, three guys to start making, like, fake Yeezy flip-flops.
00:32:44.880
You could get three guys to start making fake Yeezy flip-flops.
00:32:49.180
And pay them, like, $14 an hour, and that would be the highest they'd ever been paid in their entire lives.
00:32:55.540
There's a place in India where you could definitely find three guys to make $14 an hour to knock off Yeezys, and they'd be very happy.
00:33:03.560
I want to retire and just have three guys in my living room making Yeezys.
00:33:10.580
And I don't think there's much of a future here for millennials in Canada anymore.
00:33:16.720
Let's switch the subject matter here a little bit.
00:33:19.740
Today, well, this week, actually, Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, has had...
00:33:30.480
I thought his name was Voldemort, which is the first name of Harry Potter's dad.
00:33:41.620
There was a standing ovation for what they are calling a Ukrainian, former Ukrainian soldier that fought against Russia.
00:33:49.980
But what they found out was he was actually a Nazi in World War II and was part of an SS unit.
00:34:12.960
It's more as a Canadian, where it's like, what the hell are these idiots doing?
00:34:17.580
They're inviting Nazis into Parliament with Vladimir Zelensky there.
00:34:28.800
This is a major propaganda win for the Russians.
00:34:31.840
So Trudeau just massively undermined the alliance of Western nations trying to support Ukraine.
00:34:36.960
And that's a massive failure of vetting, and heads need to roll.
00:34:39.760
Like, the speaker that has needs to resign if he's responsible.
00:34:42.960
I get he had a good apology, but he needs to go.
00:34:44.980
And, you know, you can't have this, because then this whole narrative of, oh, like, you know, Ukraine's just a bunch of neo-Nazis, so it's okay to just invade them.
00:35:00.460
Right, and we don't know if that's true or not, but what we do know is that a 98-year-old looked pretty good, the Nazi.
00:35:06.840
Maybe being a Nazi isn't so bad if you can live to 98 and get a standing O.
00:35:17.720
Okay, thank you for answering that on the Yom Kippur night.
00:35:23.280
It's a day of atonement for the Jews, and I want to atone that there will never be another Jew killed at the hands of a German.
00:35:34.540
But there will be many Indians killed at the hands of Indians.
00:35:52.980
Because he's like a lot of rebounds in basketball.
00:36:21.100
You're like the guy who comes in who's like a fake scientist and says that everything is bad.
00:36:26.040
Yeah, I'm a guy who does stand-up comedy and stand-up comedy.
00:36:32.720
It's almost like you play a journalist on TV in a way.
00:36:35.420
Yeah, I'm a stand-up comedian who says the news.
00:36:41.560
There are some things where I can point to like, you know, I was the first journalist
00:36:44.780
to call the PS752 terrorism attack attack because I proved it that the report was BS.
00:36:50.600
They're going to have you in a Ripley's Believe It or Not museum.
00:36:52.980
Yeah, first one to report and can't write an article on like Qasem Soleimani being killed
00:36:56.900
The most lawsuits that have to be recorded by journalists.
00:37:00.520
So this isn't a crazy stuff where I can point to be like, I did that and people look at
00:37:05.240
And then I've been touring the country with Ben Bankus being like telling...
00:37:12.760
I'm in grade seven and I just got lost on the TTC.
00:37:20.080
You're starting to dress Indian is what I'm noticing.
00:37:27.100
Your skin's browning from all the exposure to Indian TV.
00:37:39.140
Are they still on top of all the trains and riding on top of the trains?
00:37:42.180
It might have just been like somewhere in one province there was a health issue warning
00:37:51.120
There's billions of people and the rate of that's going on.
00:38:00.340
Modernize, push, like, you know, get more modern infrastructure going and like, you know,
00:38:12.400
Top five things that you think are going to happen in the next year with India and Canada.
00:38:21.080
But I see bad diplomatic relations dragging out.
00:38:24.420
As long as Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh hold power, we will have a rocky relationship
00:38:30.460
So as long as those two are in power, they're both fucking idiots and they're going to continue
00:38:36.320
to do some things and Jagmeet's intentionally trying to antagonize India.
00:38:40.460
Justin, I don't think, understands the issue or whatever.
00:38:43.640
I mean, he has a history of Hector and our allies for not being socially progressive
00:38:48.500
So they're going to continue to agonize, antagonize India.
00:38:51.740
And unless the Americans and the rather Five Eyes come out with like a concrete bombshell
00:38:56.540
like Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.
00:38:59.400
We caught the Indian government, you know, responsible for this killing.
00:39:07.860
It's like Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick, right?
00:39:14.760
Colonel Sanders in a mustache with a candlestick?
00:39:20.900
You play, do you know when you play the game Clue?
00:39:22.340
You need to figure out the right suspect, murder weapon, and the room it was done in.
00:39:28.700
So Colonel Mustard's one of the characters in Clue.
00:39:37.160
This is like, that is something that you would get away with saying on Indian TV.
00:39:40.980
You're like, this is a Colonel Sanders in a pumpkin stick moment.
00:39:47.380
I've never seen a pumpkin stick this bad since in 2018 when Trudeau went to Pumpkinville.
00:39:58.720
Or are they celebrating the death of the native children?
00:40:09.360
I don't think Indians like the natives because we called them Indians.
00:40:19.640
I want to see an Indian yelling at a native going, no, you cannot live in Brampton even though this is Oceanabe land.
00:40:29.260
Do, in India, do they know about the atrocities of Canada against the natives?
00:40:36.320
And if so, do they care considering they're both Indians?
00:40:41.400
I don't think they care too much about, like, Canadian historical grievances at the moment.
00:40:49.780
Their problems are pretty much on the Calistanis.
00:40:50.660
You should remind them on Indian TV that we used to call natives Indians because we thought Canada was India.
00:40:57.820
So technically, Canada is India because we thought it was and we found it and we're like, yo, this is India.
00:41:04.400
And then we found India and we're like, shit, that's not India.
00:41:07.880
It's like the Louis C.K. joke where he's like, we're going to keep call them Indians anyway.
00:41:14.280
We knew that he's like, we knew they weren't Indians like a week in.
00:41:18.460
That's not a big problem domestically in India.
00:41:22.100
Have we considered sending the native population in Canada back to India?
00:41:31.600
Do that's I think that's thinking outside the box.
00:41:36.380
Indians, it's cheaper if we get you land in India, to be honest.
00:41:40.580
We'll get you a little bit of jungle and you guys can set up a teepee.
00:41:45.260
And I think teepees will do well in the Indian climate.
00:42:41.240
But they kind of laugh at that because part of them is like they know that it kind of is that.
00:43:01.260
I am so happy you made time to come on the show.
00:43:04.220
I know you're very busy and you're on a ton of different Indian channels.
00:43:12.120
What are your next big shows or appearances on TV?
00:43:20.300
You're also one of the co-founders of the National Telegraph, which is a news website.
00:43:28.260
So we as one of the people who started an online news website right before COVID hit.
00:43:32.580
So that was kind of good for online news because everyone's like, what the fuck's going on?
00:43:37.660
So the National Telegraph, if you want to support that.
00:43:40.920
The only thing is just Twitter because they took us off of Facebook and Google.
00:43:44.740
Like the Canadian government just shut down news on all that.
00:43:48.820
Well, to be fair, they made a law that made that they wanted the Google to and Facebook
00:43:54.980
to give hundreds of millions of dollars to shitty Canadian news companies like CTV and
00:44:03.220
So they took Google and Facebook took the news off.
00:44:06.820
So Twitter and the National Telegraph, not Telegraph, it's in my bio.
00:44:12.900
But if you go to my Twitter page, it's under Daniel Boardman.
00:44:22.100
If it's a picture of me, if it's my name, you can find me there.
00:44:24.780
If you want to see the Twitter is probably the best because it has the viral video,
00:44:33.680
It explains kind of how we got here, what would go on.
00:44:42.080
I mean, I can, every day I'll be on, follow my Twitter.
00:44:51.620
Tomorrow I booked it and I said I'd do something India today, later.
00:44:55.280
But then tomorrow morning I'm going to get a bunch of WhatsApp requests to come on,
00:44:59.380
like the day of the show, and I'll wake up and I'll decide which ones to do then
00:45:02.680
depending on the time, and then I'll be everywhere on the internet.
00:45:07.200
Is there a website we can go to for National Telegraph?
00:45:15.100
Shout out to also Wyatt Claypool and the other co-founders who are also killing it
00:45:17.940
in India right now, going on Indian TV alongside me.
00:45:21.240
So basically National Telegraph has taken over Indian TV, right?
00:45:24.280
Yeah, so we have the most popular news network in India.
00:45:27.220
Popular Canadian news network in India, probably.
00:45:29.840
Do you know how many, have you been getting more hits on the site?
00:45:36.040
I haven't been looking at, like, I don't have time to manage the analytics, like, on that,
00:45:43.840
But we're getting more hits on the YouTube, which is great.
00:45:50.320
So, yeah, it's been hard because we're all so busy, but it's going well.
00:45:59.680
So, if you want to catch me live doing stand-up Toronto, September 27th, sold out.
00:46:10.060
The show was great, although we're filming this before the show, so I don't know if it
00:46:26.180
So, then I am going back to BC and Edmonton, hopefully Calgary.
00:46:45.580
We're working at more dates for Saskatoon, Regina.
00:46:48.140
I know my American fans, you want me to come down there.
00:46:55.740
I'm sure the first cities are probably going to be Philadelphia, New Jersey.
00:47:03.100
New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, some places in Michigan and stuff like that.
00:47:18.140
I can see, personally, if you want me to be honest with you, what I think is going to
00:47:21.380
happen is you're going to get a job offer in India.
00:47:25.940
You're going to own one of those condo buildings where it's like a mansion, but it's just the
00:47:30.720
And you have like 85 rooms and you just get your dick sucked in a different room every
00:47:37.420
And then you get arrested by the Canadian government.
00:47:46.120
