00:00:00.000 As many of you may know, I recently injected a Moderna into my eyeball for scientific purposes.
00:00:12.880 I believe in science.
00:00:15.320 And when the doctor says we're injecting a needle into your eyeball for your health, I believe them.
00:00:22.560 Does that make me left wing?
00:00:27.420 Does that make me a left wing nut job because I want to allow a doctor to experiment on me? 0.99
00:00:36.400 Does that make me a bitch for being experimented on? 0.99
00:00:42.620 I don't think so. 0.98
00:00:44.600 I think y'all are afraid of the side effects.
00:00:50.160 And guess what?
00:00:50.820 When you go right through the eye, there are no side effects because you go around all that.
00:00:57.920 No, I'm just kidding.
00:00:59.280 I had a very minor little thing on my eye.
00:01:04.180 No, I had a minor thing on my eye.
00:01:05.900 It was a little tiny little cyst or something.
00:01:08.840 And I had to get it off.
00:01:10.080 And even though it's free health care here in Canada, we had to I had to pay for it and it was three hundred dollars, which was probably worth it, everybody.
00:01:22.420 Thank you.
00:01:23.000 Welcome to the show.
00:01:24.200 My eye is fine.
00:01:25.260 I have two eyes and we got a lot of good shows coming up.
00:01:30.540 If you're listening right now to the podcast on Monday, I am going to be in Burlington, Ontario this Friday and Saturday, January 13th and 14th.
00:01:44.280 And at the end of this month, I'm doing two shows in Toronto.
00:01:50.140 We might do some more if we sell them out.
00:01:52.160 Let's see what happens at the Royal Comedy Theater, January 27th and 28th.
00:01:58.300 So go get tickets for those shows next month, February.
00:02:04.540 I'm in Niagara Falls at the end of the month.
00:02:06.860 I think it's like the 24th or something.
00:02:08.620 You can look up Niagara Falls.
00:02:10.180 Yuck, yucks.
00:02:11.160 Otherwise, all the ticket links are on my website.
00:02:13.020 BenBegas.com.
00:02:13.980 OK, let's let's get into it, baby.
00:02:18.180 So a lot of people are mad at me right now because I compared Andrew Tate to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, which many people were offended by and angry at me.
00:02:31.900 I lost, I think, about 900 followers from between, I guess, between saying Andrew Tate was Jesus and telling people to love their trans child.
00:02:44.500 That was a little bit too much for people on the the far right.
00:02:49.020 I guess you could call.
00:02:50.360 I don't know if you're I guess you are a far right.
00:02:52.640 If you listen to somebody's podcast or a comedian make a joke and you no longer like like you've been following me for years.
00:02:59.820 But then I said one thing and that's it.
00:03:01.900 Like I've been doing Chinese accents, nonstop Indian accents, making fun of everybody, every single thing. 0.98
00:03:11.140 But when it gets to their thing, they get offended. 1.00
00:03:15.520 And, you know, it's fucking bullshit. 1.00
00:03:19.340 Grow up. 1.00
00:03:20.460 This is entertainment for adults.
00:03:22.500 OK, we're trying to make sense of things here.
00:03:24.620 We're not just sitting here making fun of stuff that you want me to make fun of.
00:03:29.960 OK, and guess what? 1.00
00:03:32.460 This shit is fucking hilarious. 1.00
00:03:34.620 If you really if you didn't find the last podcast hilarious and you listen to it and you took everything personally, you know, you're not you're not a funny person. 1.00
00:03:42.220 You're not funny enough to listen to this fucking podcast. 1.00
00:03:44.380 OK, so fuck off if you're mad. 1.00
00:03:50.540 I had another person mad at me. 1.00
00:03:53.420 I actually enraged Ed the sock. 0.83
00:03:55.720 I don't know if you guys know who Ed the sock is, but he is a I assume he is a he because he is a sock. 1.00
00:04:04.560 So I'm not sure if socks have a gender.
00:04:08.040 I don't know if that's right wing of me to think.
00:04:11.500 But Ed the sock is a character that was on much music and city TV in Toronto and Canada for decades.
00:04:21.220 And when I was a kid, Ed the sock was like this offensive sock that was I was they had like a taped a cigar into its mouth. 0.98
00:04:30.100 And this and he would say things he would talk shit about everybody. 0.98
00:04:33.360 He would make fun of everybody. 0.97
00:04:34.780 And there's a video online.
00:04:37.400 There's videos online. 1.00
00:04:38.240 You can go check out where he's, you know, why my white privilege is stupid and all this kind of stuff. 0.99
00:04:43.080 So he was kind of against the woke people before woke. 1.00
00:04:46.880 But then when woke came and obviously city 20 city TV and all that shit became woke. 0.97
00:04:53.240 So now Ed the sock is woke. 0.95
00:04:55.620 So I don't know if you know this, but so I actually just I commented on something on his Twitter and then he replied and I just like made fun of him.
00:05:04.400 And people started and then he kept coming after me, the sock.
00:05:07.840 So I just I just I didn't block him.
00:05:10.540 I muted him.
00:05:11.460 I don't want to talk. 0.97
00:05:12.260 I don't want to talk to a sock. 1.00
00:05:14.280 I shouldn't even be getting into Twitter feuds as is.
00:05:17.360 But I was bored and I commented on a socks post.
00:05:21.000 And next thing you know.
00:05:22.980 You know, everybody's mad again.
00:05:25.860 But that's right.
00:05:27.000 The owner of Yuck Yuck said to me, if you're not pissing somebody off, you're not doing the right thing.
00:05:32.460 So, yeah, I lost a couple hundred followers, almost a thousand.
00:05:36.380 I also gained like I if you look on Instagram, it says I gained a thousand, lost nine hundred. 1.00
00:05:42.900 And it's like, well, OK, fuck you, people. 1.00
00:05:46.600 You know what I mean? 1.00
00:05:47.060 You weren't giving me money to begin with on Patreon, which is the only way to support me, support the show.
00:05:53.020 Yeah, you can.
00:05:53.480 Oh, can I buy a T-shirt? 0.97
00:05:54.760 No, just join Patreon for a year and then renew it every year so I can be fucking rich. 0.87
00:05:59.820 Now, here's the story.
00:06:01.940 I don't know if you guys saw this, but the owners of a Toronto home who were out of town on a business trip discovered that someone had impersonated them and sold their property without their consent.
00:06:14.360 Police allege.
00:06:15.540 OK, first of all, that is amazing that that that level of fraud is even possible, that you can just go and steal somebody's home and sell it within two weeks.
00:06:30.620 Like, how long were these people on vacation for?
00:06:34.600 Investigators said in January 2022, two people allegedly pretended to be the homeowners and hired a real estate agent.
00:06:40.420 The home was then listed for sale and sold to new homeowners who took possession, police allege.
00:06:47.020 Police said the original homeowners were out of the country for business.
00:06:50.740 Several months after the property was sold, investigators said the original homeowners discovered that their home was sold without their consent.
00:06:59.360 Police have released a photo of a man and a woman on fraud charges after allegedly using fake identification to impersonate the real homeowners.
00:07:06.640 Imagine coming home from vacation or a business trip in your home.
00:07:14.580 There's just like a Indian family living in it. 1.00
00:07:17.800 And you're like, what the fuck is this? 0.99
00:07:19.420 And they're like, we just moved to this house. 1.00
00:07:21.780 We just bought this house.
00:07:22.940 What are you talking about?
00:07:24.800 This is not your house.
00:07:26.380 You sold me the house.
00:07:28.020 I looked at your identification.
00:07:29.660 It was you.
00:07:32.300 But in reality, what happens there?
00:07:35.400 What happens to the people who bought the house?
00:07:37.840 Do they just get their money back?
00:07:40.520 Do they just. 1.00
00:07:42.400 Take their money and be like, fuck that. 1.00
00:07:45.260 We try. 1.00
00:07:45.660 We found our dream home and then it turns out that it was a fraud.
00:07:50.180 Who's given the money back, too?
00:07:52.580 Because obviously these people are still on the run.
00:07:56.020 So.
00:07:59.080 How are these people getting their money back?
00:08:00.960 I want to know.
00:08:03.460 Not that I want to do this.
00:08:07.860 This is.
00:08:08.540 I mean.
00:08:09.720 I'm sure this happens a lot, especially with Airbnb.
00:08:12.380 I feel like people go to an Airbnb and they're like, you know what?
00:08:14.480 This is a nice house.
00:08:15.200 Let's sell it.
00:08:16.760 Let's sell this home.
00:08:18.740 That's a TLC show that I want to watch.
00:08:22.680 I don't want to watch people selling homes.
00:08:24.780 I don't want to watch real estate agents selling homes. 0.99
00:08:27.800 I don't want to watch gay guys flipping homes. 1.00
00:08:31.240 I don't want to watch people renovating your home for you as a surprise. 0.99
00:08:37.000 I want to see criminals going from home to home.
00:08:43.900 Preferably on Airbnb and impersonating the homeowners and selling those homes.
00:08:51.960 That's what I want to see.
00:08:53.140 I think that.
00:08:55.600 The criminals from home alone.
00:08:58.060 That's what they were trying to do.
00:08:59.580 That's why they want to get the kid out of the house so they can sell it. 1.00
00:09:04.700 Personate the homeowners.
00:09:05.740 That's everything nowadays.
00:09:08.660 Just impersonate. 0.99
00:09:09.560 Just fucking deep fake. 0.99
00:09:11.280 Do a Snapchat filter of the homeowners. 0.99
00:09:14.280 Put the video on the real estate website and sell that home.
00:09:21.920 Okay.
00:09:23.400 If you're a brown person listening to this podcast, which I know you might be because I have a lot of brown fans because brown people have good senses of humor.
00:09:34.240 If you're brown and you want to make money in this economy, you got to start selling other people's houses from underneath them. 0.99
00:09:46.720 Specifically brown people. 0.95
00:09:48.040 Because it will be potentially easier to impersonate them.
00:09:54.800 Potentially. 0.67
00:09:56.160 I just because and you know what you might say, oh, Ben, you're a racist for thinking that.
00:10:00.020 No, I am a genius. 0.95
00:10:02.020 The country is racist and you have to use that racism to your advantage.
00:10:08.940 And the way to use racism to your advantage is by creating a fake identification for a guy with a very hard to say long.
00:10:19.900 Indian slash Sri Lankan name.
00:10:25.440 Okay.
00:10:27.060 If you are also Indian slash Sri Lankan slash brown. 0.99
00:10:30.980 Honestly, it's a racist country. 0.99
00:10:32.360 If you're Arab, you could probably impersonate a brown family and sell their house. 1.00
00:10:36.540 And the white people checking the ID at the real estate board would be like, this makes perfect sense. 0.78
00:10:45.760 And this is definitely legit.
00:10:48.240 So that is my advice to you. 0.72
00:10:51.400 If you are brown, these people were white. 0.94
00:10:54.960 And they got away with it.
00:10:56.420 So if they can get away with it, you can get away with it.
00:11:00.800 Okay.
00:11:03.680 I'm obviously kidding.
00:11:04.760 You shouldn't do that.
00:11:05.440 But if you did, just don't say that you got the idea from the bank of show, please.
00:11:11.620 Thank you.
00:11:12.980 Here's another story.
00:11:14.400 I don't want to talk too much about the the trans stuff, but keeps coming up.
00:11:23.440 Keeps coming up.
00:11:24.360 People say to me, Ben, why can't you stop talking about the trans people?
00:11:30.300 Slash community.
00:11:31.500 And the reason is you guys are in the news every day.
00:11:36.620 There is something going one way or the other.
00:11:40.180 No pun intended about the trans in the news.
00:11:43.760 So we had this article come up that I found how Canadian schools aid students gender transition without family consent.
00:11:54.180 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:11:56.820 This contradicts everything I said in the last episode.
00:11:59.400 Which is okay because changing your mind is okay, folks.
00:12:03.340 Can we we talk about normalize normalize changing your mind sometimes?
00:12:08.840 Okay. 0.97
00:12:09.440 Just because you had a fuck Trudeau flag on your truck or a mega flag or a mega hat on your head at one point does not mean you can't have a thought one day where you're like, maybe I don't need to wear this, but I can still be a person. 0.97
00:12:28.480 You know, you don't have to let your ideologies control your personality. 1.00
00:12:37.100 You are more than a fuck Trudeau flag. 1.00
00:12:40.400 You are more than your mask. 1.00
00:12:43.200 You are more than cutting your penis off. 1.00
00:12:46.080 You are more. 1.00
00:12:47.380 Okay.
00:12:47.660 However, Andrew Tate is Jesus and I pray to him every day. 1.00
00:12:56.200 Gotcha, bitch. 1.00
00:12:58.440 Gotcha. 1.00
00:12:59.040 Now you're offended.
00:13:02.120 Honestly, Andrew Tate is a bit like Jesus.
00:13:04.000 Are you really going to sit here and tell me that a guy who's on every single person's phone, that every young man is slowly finding out about?
00:13:12.920 I'm not saying he's the only person about Jesus, similar to Jesus.
00:13:17.780 Rogan's similar to Jesus in a way.
00:13:19.740 Maybe even more similar.
00:13:21.840 Potentially even more similar to Jesus because he doesn't even really try to tell you what to think.
00:13:31.260 He just tells you what he thinks.
00:13:34.000 Tate is a little more in your face.
00:13:35.540 But the point is, Jesus had followers.
00:13:38.540 Anybody who is famous now for these random reasons, these, you know, Goggins and these people that are actual influencers. 0.99
00:13:47.800 I'm not talking about these, you know, the female influencers on TikTok, you know, showing their ass. 0.99
00:13:57.240 That's not you're showing your ass isn't really influencing anybody, except I guess some women to feel bad about how, you know, out of shape they are. 1.00
00:14:04.700 But it's not there's not really that many female influencers out there being like, ladies, this is how we should act. 1.00
00:14:12.060 This is what we need to do. 0.96
00:14:13.180 This is like, I guess you could say Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are somewhat influencers and they're influencing women to be whores, I guess. 1.00
00:14:23.400 But these guys are influencing people to be better people, to get in shape, to make money, to start a business.
00:14:29.760 And then there's all these people being like, no, it's dudes who work at Walmart.
00:14:33.040 Now they think they're cool because they listen to Andrew Tate. 0.99
00:14:35.360 First of all, if you work at Walmart, you should listen to Andrew Tate or some motivational person, Goggins or whatever, because you got to get your shit together. 1.00
00:14:43.440 You work at fucking Walmart. 0.99
00:14:45.340 You should be watching that to try and figure out how to better your life. 1.00
00:14:49.100 OK.
00:14:50.460 And we got sidetracked here.
00:14:52.040 We're going back to the article about.
00:14:55.000 How our schools are making everybody trans. 1.00
00:14:57.620 Boards are urging schools to both automatically on a request to change a student's name and pronouns and not tell parents of requested.
00:15:08.160 Canadian schools accept name and pronoun preferences, provide gender neutral washrooms and teach from a young age about gender identity.
00:15:15.520 In some cases, they can even refer students directly to gender treatment clinics.
00:15:20.120 OK.
00:15:21.460 That's insane.
00:15:22.300 Like, I mean, you want to be, you know, your kid watches a tick tock.
00:15:28.240 They become trans because of that. 0.99
00:15:31.040 They watch an Instagram.
00:15:34.020 They watch one of the trans influencers talking about how much fun it is to get your first period or whatever.
00:15:40.860 I get it.
00:15:42.120 But your kids going to school to learn math and science and they're teaching you teaching these ideas that are generally new.
00:15:51.960 Not new in the sense that people are like the Native Americans had trans people and they had two spirited. 0.99
00:15:57.880 It's like, yeah, the Native Americans also like cut people's heads off with axes and shit. 1.00
00:16:02.840 Like, what are we talking about here? 0.99
00:16:06.320 You know, is that is that a reason?
00:16:09.540 No offense.
00:16:10.400 I love the Native people.
00:16:11.700 I always donate when I see them on the street, even if they're passed out from drugs and alcohol.
00:16:20.300 I will leave change.
00:16:22.760 So don't come at me saying that I don't know anything and that I'm I know I support the Native trans community.
00:16:34.540 But what I don't support is kids in schools learning more about gender identity than they are the struggles of the Native people.
00:16:46.240 That's actual racism, by the way, because correct me if I'm wrong.
00:16:51.500 The majority of people who are changing, transing, transing in transit.
00:16:57.360 Is that what they call it when you change your gender? 1.00
00:17:00.240 You're in transit.
00:17:01.300 The people who are changing their genders for the most part are white. 0.65
00:17:07.480 Sorry, but it's it's a fact that I just made up that I have no idea if it's true.
00:17:12.860 It's probably true here.
00:17:14.660 Probably not true in Thailand.
00:17:15.940 Man, that's all I'm saying when a student in Calgary, grade six class in a Calgary, grade six class came out as transgender this year.
00:17:25.420 The teacher made one thing clear to the other pupils.
00:17:27.720 They mustn't let slip their classmates new gender identity to her parents. 0.96
00:17:32.020 The couple was not yet aware of the change. 0.99
00:17:35.820 What the fuck is that? 0.99
00:17:38.220 It seemed like an odd message for a group of 11 year olds, said the mother of one of the pupils. 1.00
00:17:43.240 This upset me so much, she says.
00:17:46.860 Kids were being taught to lie to parents, but in some ways, the instruction flowed naturally from what has become a common policy throughout Canada.
00:17:55.160 Boards of education, education ministries and even the public health health agency of Canada are urging schools to both automatically honor a transitioning students request to change their name and pronouns and to keep that information from parents if requested.
00:18:07.720 It's just one way the education system has become intimately involved in the transgender process.
00:18:15.200 The transgender process, folks, that's what they're calling it. 1.00
00:18:18.560 It's a process.
00:18:19.680 OK, you know, you don't just wake up transgender folks.
00:18:23.980 Rome wasn't built in a day.
00:18:25.660 It's a process.
00:18:26.520 You got to take some pills.
00:18:27.840 You got to you got to stop shaving your armpits for a bit. 0.88
00:18:30.840 You got to you got to you got to cut it off or or or sew it on. 0.89
00:18:35.480 It's a process.
00:18:40.260 So education systems become intimately involved in the gender transgender process, which affects an exponentially growing number of young Canadians.
00:18:49.200 Now, they don't say how many.
00:18:51.040 That's the thing is nobody knows.
00:18:52.600 Nobody knows.
00:18:54.160 Round and round we go.
00:18:55.620 Nobody knew.
00:18:57.820 I exponentially growing number of Canadians, young Canadians.
00:19:03.460 That sounds a little scary.
00:19:05.020 I mean, I did see a six foot three dude in a skirt today holding a very small bag.
00:19:13.740 Mind you, it's like negative seven degrees outside Celsius.
00:19:17.800 I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit, but it's not good.
00:19:21.080 It's like under 30 degrees.
00:19:23.240 And he's wearing a skirt with his legs out.
00:19:25.880 Unshaved.
00:19:26.420 Legs are unshaved.
00:19:27.320 Don't understand that.
00:19:28.360 Quite.
00:19:29.300 Not quite there.
00:19:31.220 But who am I to judge?
00:19:32.700 Who am I?
00:19:33.480 I am nothing.
00:19:35.940 I am a cis male gendered. 1.00
00:19:42.280 Disgusting. 0.99
00:19:43.440 Okay. 1.00
00:19:45.760 Disgusting. 0.97
00:19:46.440 People get mad at that, too. 1.00
00:19:47.800 They go, stop saying cisgendered.
00:19:50.220 You stop saying it.
00:19:51.560 You're going to.
00:19:52.440 You're causing. 1.00
00:19:53.200 Shut the fuck up. 1.00
00:19:54.320 And this. 1.00
00:19:54.840 You're living in the reality.
00:19:56.240 Are you not?
00:19:57.420 People are talking.
00:20:00.200 Don't say it.
00:20:01.060 Don't say it.
00:20:01.580 It's like.
00:20:03.380 That's 1984-esque, too.
00:20:06.400 The people on the right who are being 1984-esque, too, are like, do not speak about Jesus.
00:20:12.300 And do not talk about transgender rights.
00:20:14.640 Because they do not exist.
00:20:15.740 It's like, dude.
00:20:17.020 You're making a bad case for yourself. 1.00
00:20:18.820 Everybody thinks you're fucking nuts now. 1.00
00:20:20.800 Just fucking laugh. 1.00
00:20:24.240 Okay. 0.99
00:20:26.040 Schools accept name and pronoun preferences.
00:20:27.940 Provide gender-neutral washrooms. 0.85
00:20:29.220 Blah, blah, blah.
00:20:29.760 We already read that like eight times.
00:20:31.360 But as health professionals applaud the developments.
00:20:34.640 Why are health professionals applauding the developments, by the way?
00:20:38.900 And I mean, I know the answer, but I'm asking the question.
00:20:43.640 The answer, I assume, is because they are financially benefiting from kids changing genders. 0.76
00:20:54.420 I don't understand that.
00:20:57.980 And by the way, here's another question.
00:21:00.120 Because they say, oh, if you let these people take the pills and go through with the surgeries, that you're actually lowering the chance of them, you know, committing suicide.
00:21:13.080 But is that accurate?
00:21:15.800 Like, do we have numbers to show that?
00:21:17.980 Where are the scientists now being like, look how much suicides dropped.
00:21:20.900 All the kids that killed themselves before are now transgender. 1.00
00:21:23.440 I don't think that's true.
00:21:24.620 But I could be wrong.
00:21:26.320 But I also could be right.
00:21:27.620 But as health professionals applaud the developments, some parents of children with gender dysphoria, the sense that their birth sex does not match their gender identity, are bristling at the role schools are playing.
00:21:40.100 I don't know about teachers, principals and guidance counselors, they complain, are essentially usurping the traditional responsibilities of mothers and fathers as they help advance children's gender transition. 0.99
00:21:50.240 I mean, this is fucking retarded. 1.00
00:21:51.840 I'm sorry. 0.99
00:21:52.300 This is what happens when you give people jobs that are unnecessary.
00:22:00.980 If being a teacher was such a necessary job, if being a teacher was such a, you know, amazing job, like all the teachers, I'm a teacher.
00:22:10.620 You don't understand.
00:22:11.960 I'm amazing.
00:22:13.460 All I do all day is teach children how to be gay and trans.
00:22:19.240 If I don't understand.
00:22:21.500 No, but if they were I had good teachers, you know, my good teacher was shout out Mr. Probst.
00:22:27.940 Mr. Probst was my high school English teacher.
00:22:31.680 And we used to used to we used to smoke cigarettes in the alleyway behind the school.
00:22:38.000 He'd say, you want to go for a cigarette?
00:22:39.500 We go for a cigarette.
00:22:40.380 He'd tell me about how hungover he was. 1.00
00:22:42.200 He'd tell me about how much he hated all the other teachers because they were losers. 0.99
00:22:46.320 And I love this guy. 0.95
00:22:47.980 He didn't care if I was high in class.
00:22:50.020 The higher I was, the more you would have questions he would ask me.
00:22:54.220 Now, and he was the guy.
00:22:55.880 He was the first guy who saw my talent and said, hey, you want to be I'm doing a play, not the school play.
00:23:00.800 We're going to do a cooler play.
00:23:02.140 And it was about zombies.
00:23:04.380 And I was a king of this land that was taking over by zombies.
00:23:07.860 And my my the queen, my wife was like cheating on me with the zombie and she became a zombie. 1.00
00:23:13.900 It was all crazy stuff.
00:23:15.360 It was in the Sears Drama Festival.
00:23:16.960 I won an award for it.
00:23:18.560 I won an award of excellence.
00:23:20.360 Actually, I have the award.
00:23:21.860 I'm going to show you the award right now.
00:23:24.440 This is the award of excellence that I received.
00:23:30.000 I don't know if it's zooming in on it.
00:23:32.140 It's all blurry.
00:23:34.420 There it is.
00:23:35.420 There it is.
00:23:36.220 Word of excellence.
00:23:38.360 When I was in high school, I won this 2009.
00:23:42.380 Nick Probst got me in the play.
00:23:44.940 And that was started my comedy.
00:23:47.460 I already wanted to be a stand up comedian.
00:23:48.860 I already watched a ton of comedy was writing bits, but I'd never been on a stage for that purpose of acting or performing like that.
00:23:55.860 I'd done violin as a kid, but as a younger kid.
00:23:59.820 But once I did that, I realized that's what I wanted to do.
00:24:05.040 That's what I wanted to be.
00:24:06.200 And there was gay kids in the play.
00:24:07.760 We were all cool. 0.94
00:24:08.580 They smoke weed. 0.99
00:24:09.400 They didn't give a shit. 1.00
00:24:10.240 We made fun of them for being gay. 1.00
00:24:11.540 They made fun of us for being straight.
00:24:13.920 Everything was chill.
00:24:15.660 Okay.
00:24:16.660 Some of the gay kids in my high school were like the most popular kids ever.
00:24:20.220 Like the one guy, Sebastian, most girls that I any girls like 30 years old who grew up in downtown Toronto. 0.75
00:24:28.580 If you're like, do you know a gay guy named Sebastian?
00:24:30.720 They're like, oh, my God.
00:24:31.700 I know everybody knew him.
00:24:33.140 He wasn't bullied.
00:24:33.940 People were afraid of him.
00:24:35.420 He knew all the chicks. 1.00
00:24:36.520 Who's going to bully the gay guy that's friends with every chick that every guy wants to bang? 1.00
00:24:41.200 I mean, give me a fucking break. 1.00
00:24:44.740 Anyway. 0.99
00:24:46.640 That's when teachers stop actually helping kids.
00:24:51.400 That's how you help a kid.
00:24:52.480 You notice he has a talent.
00:24:54.180 You notice he has a knack for something.
00:24:56.120 He's got a knack for science.
00:24:57.600 So you help him get a get an internship at Pfizer.
00:25:01.140 Okay.
00:25:02.060 That's what that's what a good teacher would do.
00:25:05.120 You know that you have a knack for, you know, the art teacher notices this kid's really good at art and goes out of their way to reach out to universities and write letters for them on their behalf to get them into good programs. 0.98
00:25:16.660 That's what good teachers fucking do. 0.98
00:25:19.040 Good teachers see that you're depressed. 1.00
00:25:20.760 This kid's depressed.
00:25:21.540 Let's talk in my office.
00:25:22.580 Are you OK?
00:25:23.260 What's going on at home?
00:25:24.680 How blah, blah, blah.
00:25:25.800 That's what a good teacher does. 1.00
00:25:28.080 OK, but if you are a teacher and you see a kid and go, oh, shit, is that kid sad? 0.99
00:25:33.300 And you take him in the office. 0.99
00:25:34.180 What's going on?
00:25:34.800 And they go, I think I'm a I'm a girl.
00:25:37.860 I thought I was do.
00:25:39.340 But now people are telling me I'm a dude.
00:25:42.500 Parents and evil doctors that gave delivered me at the hospital put mail on my birth certificate.
00:25:49.600 And I believe that I am not a male.
00:25:52.780 In that situation, as a teacher.
00:25:54.640 I guess you do help them transition.
00:25:59.680 I guess that is what you should do. 0.99
00:26:01.660 Darn. 0.98
00:26:02.340 I really thought I was going to make the opposite point. 0.99
00:26:04.000 No, of course not.
00:26:05.280 You go.
00:26:06.060 So what are you talking about here?
00:26:07.160 You're talking about like gender drugs.
00:26:09.900 You want to be on drugs and do all that.
00:26:11.640 You got to talk to your parents about that, man. 1.00
00:26:13.140 Like, I'm sorry, you know, and it's I mean, if it's it's another thing, if they're like my parents, I asked them about it and they were like, go fuck yourself and stuff like I kind of get that. 0.98
00:26:24.420 Honestly, like maybe I am wrong. 0.93
00:26:26.320 Maybe the kids.
00:26:28.280 The problem is the kids and their parents. 1.00
00:26:31.360 Like, what kind of parenting were you doing that your kids in grade nine and wants to transition isn't thinking about partying and fucking hanging out and smoking weed and like what the fuck is wrong with you? 0.99
00:26:44.000 What did you do to this kid? 0.99
00:26:46.500 Um, you know, I had a my mom told me.
00:26:52.240 My mom, the people are going to get mad at this.
00:26:54.820 I know they're going to get mad at this.
00:26:56.260 There's nothing you can do, though.
00:26:57.420 She has dementia and maybe she has dementia because she did this. 0.99
00:27:00.740 That's what people say.
00:27:01.920 God did this to her because she did this.
00:27:04.460 But she had a student who was like 15 and got pregnant and went to went to her because she trusted her as a teacher. 0.99
00:27:12.540 And look, a lot of kids trust their fucking teachers more than their parents. 1.00
00:27:17.040 OK, fuck your parents. 1.00
00:27:18.720 I mean, fuck a teacher, too. 1.00
00:27:19.960 They're fucking stupid. 1.00
00:27:20.900 And half the time they're trying to fuck you. 1.00
00:27:23.180 But. 0.99
00:27:24.960 A lot of kids do trust the parent teachers, especially if it's a good teacher. 0.99
00:27:29.420 So they trusted my mom and my mom fucking got a coat hanger out and fucking ripped the baby out. 1.00
00:27:35.780 No, I'm joking. 1.00
00:27:36.280 But she did take her to a to an abortion clinic and had the child aborted. 1.00
00:27:42.540 My mother aborted.
00:27:44.700 An underage girl's child. 0.73
00:27:48.940 I mean.
00:27:51.220 Hello.
00:27:52.940 Is anybody still there?
00:27:55.800 Ten years ago, you tell somebody that they go, good for you.
00:27:59.000 That's nice that you helped out that, you know, that teenager.
00:28:01.840 She was probably so scared and worried and didn't know what to do and didn't want to tell her parents. 0.99
00:28:06.020 But nowadays, they'd be like, what the fuck? 1.00
00:28:08.240 You evil bitch. 1.00
00:28:09.580 You just you killed a kid. 1.00
00:28:11.420 That girl wasn't old enough to make that decision. 1.00
00:28:13.680 Her parents should have made that.
00:28:14.920 Her parents should have made that decision.
00:28:16.700 What are her parents going to say? 1.00
00:28:17.980 They're going to her parents are going to be like fucking abort it. 0.99
00:28:20.480 But I wish I didn't even know. 1.00
00:28:22.380 Might as well just fucking do it. 0.98
00:28:25.260 Now, I'm not like I'm sorry. 0.99
00:28:27.960 If you're too like, I can't pretend to be more right wing than I am.
00:28:32.380 I don't think that you should that abortion should be outlawed.
00:28:35.860 I'm sorry.
00:28:36.540 Yeah, it's sad.
00:28:37.560 It's a sad, horrible thing.
00:28:39.000 Everybody agrees on that. 0.99
00:28:40.060 I don't think you should be doing it every fucking Tuesday. 0.98
00:28:42.700 And I definitely don't think it should be used as a form of birth control. 0.96
00:28:45.800 And I definitely don't think after a certain point of the child's what are the the pregnancy that, you know, after the first trimester, whatever it is, after six weeks or whatever it is that they should.
00:28:57.160 I don't think you should do it, you know, late term, all this stuff bad.
00:29:01.160 But I mean, if you're 15 and you get pregnant.
00:29:06.980 Abortion is probably the more fun option for your life. 0.96
00:29:13.380 No offense.
00:29:15.640 But getting an abortion and changing your gender are different.
00:29:22.480 They're not that different because you're still murdering a human being, technically, you know, the old you versus a fetus. 0.69
00:29:35.840 But what are these teachers supposed to do? 0.99
00:29:38.160 You all the kids want to be fucking trans now and they're sad about it because their parents hate them because they want to be trans. 0.99
00:29:43.180 I mean, if your biggest sadness in life is that your parents are mad at you because you want to be trans and you're 16, you have a pretty good life. 1.00
00:29:54.860 I'm not going to lie to you.
00:29:55.680 You have a pretty good life.
00:29:58.140 There's no bombs being dropped on you.
00:30:00.940 You know, you don't have you're not hungry, you're not searching for food.
00:30:05.800 You got everything you want. 0.99
00:30:07.600 You probably have a fucking Xbox or you could if you wanted to. 1.00
00:30:10.880 Parents would buy it for you. 1.00
00:30:12.040 You could probably have a new car. 0.99
00:30:14.600 Parents will probably get you a lease on a new fucking Toyota for grade 10 once you get your license. 1.00
00:30:21.100 What are you doing making shit up to be upset about the trans? 1.00
00:30:27.620 The trans. 1.00
00:30:31.400 Phenomenon.
00:30:33.040 Is the same phenomenon that's happening to boomers with politics.
00:30:38.120 The boomers all think that they know the most about politics and they have the best opinions and they're really annoying because all they want to do is tell you about why you're wrong and why you don't believe in the right things. 1.00
00:30:53.460 And whether it's on the left or the right, they all do it.
00:30:55.840 This is what boomers do. 1.00
00:30:56.780 They're either telling you to get the needle or they're telling you never to get it.
00:31:00.820 And here's the reasons why.
00:31:02.000 And I know best.
00:31:02.800 And I used to work with a guy who worked in the liberal parliament and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 0.99
00:31:06.880 On the flip side, the young people are all cutting their dicks off and becoming trans, which is also annoying, not because I'm transphobic or don't like trans people. 1.00
00:31:18.480 It's just annoying to hear about it over and over again the same way it's annoying to hear from boomers about trans people. 0.98
00:31:28.380 The boomers don't want to be trans, but they want to talk about trans and they think they're they're battling this ideology. 0.59
00:31:35.320 I'm battling.
00:31:36.300 I'm up.
00:31:36.940 We feel like we're up against the LGBT community. 1.00
00:31:39.240 You a 55 year old with a pension who worked at Canada Post for 35 years is battling the gender ideology by talking about it every five seconds.
00:31:48.960 No, you're making it worse.
00:31:50.200 Just like I am.
00:31:51.760 Just like I am.
00:31:52.940 I'm making it worse.
00:31:54.600 And guess what? 0.99
00:31:55.540 I don't give a shit because I'm a comedian. 0.98
00:31:57.980 I'm not here to make the world perfect. 0.98
00:32:01.860 I'm here to point out what's wrong.
00:32:05.060 Question it.
00:32:06.400 Question myself.
00:32:08.140 Backtrack on it.
00:32:09.340 Change my mind.
00:32:10.400 Go back to the way I thought before.
00:32:12.480 Change it again.
00:32:13.800 Laugh.
00:32:14.640 Make fun of you for getting mad at me.
00:32:17.040 Blah, blah, blah.
00:32:18.000 That's my job. 0.99
00:32:19.360 Your job is to shut up and listen and send me money on at Patreon dot com slash. 0.99
00:32:25.540 And bankers. 0.99
00:32:26.380 OK.
00:32:29.020 That's what your job is.
00:32:31.820 And go back to school.
00:32:33.260 Put your phone away. 1.00
00:32:34.460 Cut your dick off. 1.00
00:32:39.980 Oh, yeah. 1.00
00:32:40.680 People say I want to go back to the good old days.
00:32:42.720 I mean, it's like I don't know if the old days were better.
00:32:46.140 I mean, it was pros and cons.
00:32:49.040 Not having phones may be better for certain things, not better for other things.
00:32:53.860 But I want to go back to a time where 22 year olds didn't get offended when you say retard.
00:33:02.500 That's what I want to do.
00:33:03.760 I want to go back to a time where you could call your friends retarded in public and people 1.00
00:33:09.400 turn their heads and they looked at you guys and laughed away. 0.99
00:33:12.380 Yeah, your buddy's retarded. 1.00
00:33:14.160 Those are the good old days when people said words that were bad and we didn't care. 0.50
00:33:21.600 And that wasn't really that long ago.
00:33:23.560 I think it was probably only from like 1990 to maybe like 2005.
00:33:27.640 We had about 15 years where you could say retard. 1.00
00:33:31.360 You could say faggot. 1.00
00:33:33.120 Right. 1.00
00:33:33.920 And it wasn't even.
00:33:36.200 A big deal.
00:33:36.980 Like you wouldn't lose your job because you said that the N word, you know, I get it. 1.00
00:33:44.480 You like we shouldn't say the N word, but.
00:33:49.620 But it is in every single song, and I know that is the number one white person talking point,
00:33:56.840 racist talking point of, well, it's in all the music.
00:33:59.420 Why can't I say it down the street?
00:34:01.080 And then there's always like Morgan Freeman standing there, right?
00:34:03.940 Say it then or whatever.
00:34:05.540 And then you're like, I'm scared of Morgan Freeman.
00:34:09.080 I've seen Bruce Almighty.
00:34:13.560 So. 1.00
00:34:15.520 Yeah, probably not the N word, but retard and faggot. 1.00
00:34:20.660 Should probably be back. 1.00
00:34:23.420 OK, I don't want to say it too much more.
00:34:26.840 On the podcast, because it will probably get deleted and we might even have to bleep
00:34:32.440 it in the podcast.
00:34:33.960 This might even be bleeped.
00:34:35.420 That might piss you off.
00:34:36.720 You might go, how dare you, Ben Bankus?
00:34:38.740 I want to hear the word.
00:34:40.520 Well, go on Patreon.
00:34:42.000 We can say all the bad words on there and nobody cares.
00:34:44.020 But seriously, I actually think a lot of the podcasts now, a lot of the comics are saying
00:34:51.680 it.
00:34:51.920 A lot of people are just saying it.
00:34:53.480 They're just done with it.
00:34:55.060 What are you going to do?
00:34:56.080 Oh, you're offended.
00:34:57.480 Oh, you're offended.
00:34:58.560 The people on the right are like, I want to be able to say retard and and the F word and
00:35:05.100 probably the N word to a lot of them on the on the right, because a lot of people on the 0.73
00:35:11.260 far right are racist.
00:35:12.360 Can we go?
00:35:12.940 We're not racist. 0.99
00:35:13.920 We just hate Jews and blacks and Chinese. 1.00
00:35:16.340 But like, you're a little fucking racist. 1.00
00:35:18.620 I'm sorry. 0.99
00:35:19.240 But some of the people at the Freedom Convoy were racist, where they're also Indian people
00:35:24.440 from Brampton being like, I love Canada.
00:35:26.340 And we came here because we thought it was a festival of lights, Diwali, but it's actually
00:35:30.600 a racist convoy.
00:35:32.980 Yeah, they were there and they were supporting because they, you know, they didn't care that
00:35:38.240 some of the people were racist and the racists were like, hey, thank you for coming, Indian
00:35:42.440 people, even though I wouldn't let you eat at my house.
00:35:46.340 Yes, I appreciate you supporting the cause.
00:35:50.140 OK, now, am I joking a little bit?
00:35:52.540 Yes. 1.00
00:35:52.800 If you're offended, fuck you. 1.00
00:35:54.300 OK. 1.00
00:35:56.820 People on the right want to dictate what people on the left should and shouldn't do, say they
00:36:04.460 want to be like, and I don't want to hear about the trans people, you know, they I don't 1.00
00:36:09.820 want the trans stuff in schools, which I get as the article that we just read.
00:36:14.640 But however, as I explained, if the kids want to be trans, the teachers can't just tell
00:36:19.640 them not to be trained. 0.99
00:36:20.760 Like, it's the dumbest thing of it's growing exponentially. 0.96
00:36:24.000 It's like, OK, well, take your kid's phone away. 0.99
00:36:26.300 Have you get you gave your kid a cell phone at six years old and you're and you're wondering
00:36:30.920 why they're trans. 0.99
00:36:31.700 It's like because you're shut up. 1.00
00:36:34.740 You're a bad parent.
00:36:35.800 OK, people on the left believe in censorship for people on the right and people on the
00:36:45.260 right believe in censorship for people on the left.
00:36:47.080 The people on the right get offended if you talk about God, if you talk about Jesus or
00:36:51.400 if you question any of their ideologies, if you talk about gun rights, if you talk about
00:36:57.380 anything like that, then people on the right are like, how dare you talk about gun rights
00:37:02.480 or Jesus or this or that?
00:37:03.980 And it's like, so you think that people should not be allowed to speak about those things
00:37:07.900 and they should go to jail?
00:37:08.780 Yes.
00:37:09.120 But do you believe in free speech?
00:37:10.320 Yes.
00:37:10.840 Well, then you don't.
00:37:12.120 OK, and why am I saying this?
00:37:13.700 Because a lot of my audience is right.
00:37:15.120 But you've got to be smart on the right or in the middle.
00:37:17.480 You can be in the middle. 0.99
00:37:18.380 Like, I want to be in the fucking middle. 1.00
00:37:20.440 I don't want to be with you crazy people anymore. 0.99
00:37:22.420 I don't want to be with the crazy people on the left either. 0.99
00:37:24.800 But it's like a balancing act. 0.94
00:37:27.840 And right now, the right is making themselves look a little insane and they're causing the
00:37:34.280 situation to get worse.
00:37:35.520 If you want the, you know, the trans thing to slow down, I don't know how to solve that 1.00
00:37:40.160 problem.
00:37:40.600 But I don't think talking about it and being angry about it is the way to solve it. 1.00
00:37:45.520 I think the way to solve it is to just go, yeah, sometimes fuck, I guess. 1.00
00:37:49.960 Yeah, shit. 1.00
00:37:50.880 That's how it is now, and I'm going to do my best to educate my kids about the dangers 0.99
00:37:58.320 of doing that and, you know, what that could cause for them in the future and why that's
00:38:03.060 harmful.
00:38:03.660 And, you know, I'm going to but I'm going to tell them if they really want to do it, 0.99
00:38:06.680 I'm going to support who gives a shit. 1.00
00:38:08.280 Let your fucking kid transition. 1.00
00:38:09.580 Just move on. 1.00
00:38:10.580 Have another kid.
00:38:12.620 You know, get a divorce, have another kid, move to Mexico.
00:38:17.040 You know, your kid becomes trans and you're upset and you don't know what to do and 1.00
00:38:20.040 you want to go and complain to the school board.
00:38:22.020 How about instead you leave your wife and you fly to Colombia and you meet a nice Colombian
00:38:29.720 woman and for, you know, two hundred dollars or, you know, three thousand peso a month, you 1.00
00:38:37.660 can have your own luxury apartment and, you know, and maybe have a new half South American
00:38:46.640 child and chances are they won't be trans because the chances of having two trans kids is low
00:38:54.220 and then problem solved.
00:38:56.440 Let the mom deal with the, you know, the school board meetings or whatever. 1.00
00:39:01.520 Don't be involved.
00:39:03.500 Doesn't matter to you.
00:39:05.320 If you're worried about your kid transitioning, it's like you also have a good life.
00:39:10.980 Just.
00:39:13.760 Move on.
00:39:14.680 OK.
00:39:16.380 Problem solved.
00:39:17.340 The kids trans move to Colombia, find a new wife, have another child. 1.00
00:39:20.760 That's it. 1.00
00:39:21.380 You don't go to a fucking school board meeting. 1.00
00:39:23.480 You don't call a teacher. 1.00
00:39:24.740 You don't try to get teachers fired because they helped a kid transit. 1.00
00:39:30.740 Yeah, it's fucked up. 0.99
00:39:32.280 I'm agreeing with you. 0.99
00:39:33.180 I don't think it's right necessarily.
00:39:34.860 Just like I don't think it's necessarily right that my mom took a 15 year old 25 years ago 0.99
00:39:40.440 to an abortion clinic, but it's fucking life. 0.99
00:39:45.400 It's happening out there. 1.00
00:39:47.180 OK, and people need to accept how bad life is.
00:39:52.580 Too many of you are pretending like life is this amazing thing and it's supposed to be amazing
00:39:56.680 and both of my children are supposed to have the proper gender and proper vocabulary
00:40:02.060 and work really hard and, you know, go and be doctors and lawyers.
00:40:07.220 And it's just like it doesn't happen like that unless you're Chinese. 0.99
00:40:10.420 OK, if you're Chinese, you got a good kid. 0.99
00:40:12.880 They fucking play piano and then they become a doctor. 1.00
00:40:15.740 But if you're white, you got annoying. 1.00
00:40:20.000 You either have a cool kid that ends up going into sales. 0.99
00:40:23.520 And doing a ton of blow, possibly dying of fentanyl, being a squeegee kid, another option for the whites, 1.00
00:40:32.940 working at a, you know, a Popeye's fitness, working out at a good life.
00:40:43.700 These are the things white people do. 0.58
00:40:46.780 OK, if you have a white kid, you're probably going to take them to hockey. 0.93
00:40:51.980 OK, now, if you don't take them to hockey and you don't put them in sports and you don't help them, 0.58
00:40:57.300 they might become trans. 0.91
00:40:58.520 OK, they might become trans. 0.99
00:41:00.960 And if they do, it's your fault. 0.92
00:41:03.380 Number one.
00:41:05.140 And number two.
00:41:06.140 At least you didn't have to wake up every morning and go to hockey.
00:41:11.820 OK, at least you didn't have to wake up at 5 a.m.
00:41:14.980 to take them two hours to a hockey game and wait there for it to end.
00:41:21.040 And then you got to put their smelly equipment in the car and then you got to air out their smelly equipment.
00:41:26.420 And then you got to, you know, hear about this and that.
00:41:30.200 And then you find out they're smoking weed with the other kids in the team.
00:41:33.420 And that one kid on the team stole a steak from no frills grocery store where he works.
00:41:39.080 And now he's in jail and he got a tattoo.
00:41:41.660 You don't have to deal with any of that.
00:41:43.620 You just go, look, stay in your room for 18 years and then become and you're trans. 0.98
00:41:49.220 And that's it.
00:41:50.700 And that's and that is how you be a good parent.
00:41:53.300 OK, that is how you accomplish being a good parent.
00:42:00.860 You like that?
00:42:01.720 Can you tell that sarcastic?
00:42:03.420 Can you tell that this is funny? 1.00
00:42:07.100 Are you one of these people going, this is bullshit, man. 1.00
00:42:10.520 Like he's fucking like, what are you like promoting like trans ideology, bro? 1.00
00:42:15.140 Like, are you fucking promoting this show? 1.00
00:42:17.380 Like, are you like you're probably fucking facts to like you fucking like your soul like woke now. 1.00
00:42:22.860 Like, no, you're a fucking uneducated retard who couldn't even get into fucking Fanshawe college probably for fucking HVAC. 1.00
00:42:31.460 And you're sitting on the computer with a fake fucking shitty profile, that little circle. 1.00
00:42:36.980 You got some dumb shit in it, like a picture of Abe Lincoln or or or or a frog with a mask on some dumb shit like that. 1.00
00:42:44.760 And you live in a shit town and you had a shit upbringing and your life sucks and you grabbed on to this QAnon bullshit because you had nothing else. 1.00
00:42:53.600 And you wanted to believe so badly that blah, blah, blah, the government and yada, yada. 1.00
00:42:58.560 And now that it's kind of over, you don't know what to do.
00:43:00.940 So you're angry because you're still wasting time.
00:43:03.960 Stop being angry.
00:43:05.600 Get your life together. 0.94
00:43:07.040 I promise you, if you're making decent money and not that I am yet because you're not fucking signing up for Patreon, but I can guarantee you that you won't be upset at jokes and sarcasm relating to things that you used to be upset about. 0.84
00:43:24.020 But I used to get upset.
00:43:25.720 I used to be in your shoes.
00:43:27.320 I you know what I used to do during the pandemic, during the beginning of the pandemic, when we were doing lockdowns every night.
00:43:34.220 The building I lived in at the time with my mother who had dementia that I didn't even know about.
00:43:38.920 Actually, no, I knew a month before the before lockdown started.
00:43:42.080 I found out my mom had dementia. 0.98
00:43:43.280 That's how my life's fucking sad. 0.99
00:43:45.520 Yeah. 1.00
00:43:46.200 Bask in that bitch. 1.00
00:43:48.200 Um, every night at 7 p.m., the neighbors would come out of their homes with the pots and pans to start banging them. 1.00
00:43:57.800 Thank you to our first responders.
00:43:59.920 And you could hear it in the whole city.
00:44:01.500 And it was supposed to be this uplifting thing that, you know, the people are supporting the lockdowns.
00:44:09.120 And it's amazing.
00:44:10.360 Bing, and we're just bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. 0.99
00:44:13.540 So what I did is I ordered a loudspeaker off of Amazon and I would stick my head out of the window and they did the fucking pots and pans. 0.97
00:44:20.880 And the whole time I'd be like, COVID is, you know, X, Y, Z. 0.99
00:44:26.240 I don't want to say F-A-K-E.
00:44:28.640 I don't know what that spells.
00:44:30.580 I would say things like that.
00:44:32.080 I'd be like, China is responsible for the virus. 0.99
00:44:35.020 I was, you know, and people, it would stop the pot.
00:44:37.660 Eventually the pots and pans stopped. 0.97
00:44:39.120 And I proved a point to those people that this is how crazy you sound. 0.80
00:44:43.260 This is what a psychotic person sounds on the other side. 0.96
00:44:46.200 Now, I would get mad.
00:44:47.860 I would be mad at the pots and pans people.
00:44:50.420 But guess what?
00:44:51.160 Those people were mad at me. 0.99
00:44:52.640 I used to get them into my building and there would be a guy with a mask on going, you should be wearing a fucking mask and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 0.99
00:44:58.360 And I'd get in an argument with him and yada, yada. 0.99
00:45:00.480 And then I'd be mad for days.
00:45:01.660 And he was probably mad for days. 1.00
00:45:03.220 And I'm done with that shit. 1.00
00:45:04.920 If somebody comes and tells me to put a mask on, I go, shut the fuck up. 1.00
00:45:08.280 And if they say anything more than that, I go, I just walk away. 1.00
00:45:11.260 I'm not having a fucking dialogue with these people. 1.00
00:45:13.960 Everybody's mentally ill now. 1.00
00:45:15.180 Do you not understand this? 0.97
00:45:16.520 There was a lady, you know, today, actually, there's two instances that happened.
00:45:21.300 Today, I went to my friend's building to work out because it's right beside my gym.
00:45:26.740 And I forgot my key scanner for my gym.
00:45:29.200 So I went to my buddy Matt's place and working out and he points.
00:45:32.280 There's this Asian girl sitting at the like the leg press and she's not even working out. 1.00
00:45:37.100 She's just on her phone. 0.97
00:45:37.840 My buddy goes, yeah, that girl yelled at me once because I answered a phone call in here and she started telling me it was too loud and shit like that. 0.98
00:45:43.600 I was like, that's crazy. 0.93
00:45:44.480 I had no idea.
00:45:45.200 I was like, that's crazy.
00:45:46.280 So I go beside her is where I'm doing my pulled the pull down exercise on the pull down thing.
00:45:51.660 And she keeps looking over at me and then eventually I'm going like this, you know, for each of this reps. 0.94
00:46:02.940 And she just out of nowhere, just fucking freaks out. 1.00
00:46:05.540 She turns around, looks at me. 1.00
00:46:06.700 She goes, you're fucking disgusting. 1.00
00:46:09.160 I can't fucking hear this shit. 1.00
00:46:10.380 She wasn't even wearing a mask, but stormed out mental illness. 1.00
00:46:15.300 Another person not wearing a mask that last week was mentally ill in the elevator.
00:46:19.760 She has this massive dog in the elevator.
00:46:23.200 That's like a pit bull type situation.
00:46:26.520 And there's another older lady coming out with her pug and she, her cart was stuck. 1.00
00:46:33.280 So I helped the elderly lady with her cart, put it down on like that. 0.58
00:46:36.880 And as I'm helping her with this, the lady's trying to pull, she's pulling, holding back her pit bull, yelling at this old lady about her. 1.00
00:46:44.640 Like, yo, don't you like look like it's a like ghetto, like yo, six bus doggie, like yo, but like a little bit of like a Spanish six bus. 0.98
00:46:52.460 And it's like, yo, you're, you're fucking looking at me or you're doing. 0.95
00:46:56.300 And she gets in the elevator and me and this other woman. 0.97
00:46:59.920 And I just, I was like, what is everything?
00:47:03.140 Okay. 1.00
00:47:03.420 And she's like, none of your fucking business. 0.99
00:47:05.320 I'm like, we all need to be nice to each other in the elevator. 0.99
00:47:07.480 I felt like the fucking, I feel like the mask people now. 0.98
00:47:10.720 I mean, we all need to be nice, but it's true in the sense that you can't just fucking yell at people that you live with in the same building over political shit, over dogs, over whatever. 0.99
00:47:20.500 It's insane. 0.99
00:47:21.740 And a lot of people are now insane on boat.
00:47:24.860 You can't be on the, there is no right side.
00:47:27.600 The right side is making sense of both sides while you look in the middle and you go, okay, doesn't mean you have to, I accept that.
00:47:34.240 Oh, so you accept people who are, yeah. 0.98
00:47:36.400 If a trans person came up to me and was like, you're fucking hilarious. 1.00
00:47:39.020 I love your comedy. 0.98
00:47:39.700 Do you think I would be like, actually, you know, I don't believe in your ideal.
00:47:42.920 No, that's what being accepting is. 0.99
00:47:46.880 If a trans person came up to me, it's like a fucking hate everything that you do, blah, blah. 1.00
00:47:50.280 I'd be like, okay, well go fuck yourself. 1.00
00:47:51.600 I have nothing against you being trans, but you're a piece of shit. 1.00
00:47:54.700 Don't judge people on this shit. 1.00
00:47:56.060 Just judge them how they generally make you feel, okay? 1.00
00:48:01.140 That's that. 0.99
00:48:13.540 There's another article trying to help, obviously help people because that's what most of these bullshit articles do now. 0.94
00:48:21.680 It's like all the news is, the news is like a self-help guide. 0.96
00:48:25.180 Now, like, how to guide your trans child to pure, how to guide, how to save money during the worst depression since 1930.
00:48:36.060 Here's what you need to, it says, here's what you need to make, here's what you need to make money-wise to weather record inflation. 0.98
00:48:49.100 Oh shit, battery just died on that. 0.90
00:48:55.080 Okay, we're going to come back. 0.99
00:48:56.400 We're going to come back.
00:49:00.420 What's up?
00:49:00.940 We're back, everybody.
00:49:02.200 Sorry, the camera died for whatever reason.
00:49:05.440 Just want to say thank you to all the people who listened to this podcast last week and this week.
00:49:13.220 The new people who've joined us, thank you so much.
00:49:16.640 This is kind of a short one, but I wanted to talk about my experience at JP's PETA before I get out of here.
00:49:23.760 JP's PETA is a PETA shop off of the 401 in Bowmanville, and it is absolutely the wildest experience because the guy who runs it, and he's the only guy who ever works there, so it always takes a long time.
00:49:41.460 He makes all the food fresh.
00:49:42.680 He's a weird guy, and the food is, he gives you way too much food.
00:49:47.520 He loads the PETA so to the brim, and when he hands it to you, he says, here's your Chinese baby.
00:49:59.040 That's what he says, or he says something like that.
00:50:00.720 He says, this is like the size of a Chinese baby, and I just find it amazing that somebody would say that.
00:50:10.480 I feel like he would say that to a Chinese person's face.
00:50:12.720 I feel like if a Chinese person went in there and got off the 401 and went to JP's PETA, he'd be like, here's your Chinese baby, and I think that Chinese person would laugh. 0.89
00:50:22.160 That's like old school, non-woke people.
00:50:24.880 He's like Serbian or something or like Greek. 0.98
00:50:27.800 I don't know what the fuck he is, but there's always a couple morbidly obese people eating and me, and I ate the whole thing. 0.99
00:50:39.300 I ate it way too fast, and I felt so full, so now this week, I'm just like, I gotta fucking work the fuck out, dude. 0.99
00:50:46.820 So I'm back to my two-a-days, two workouts a day, one weights, one cardio for this week. 0.97
00:50:53.600 I recommend everybody start working out, getting your shit together, and just trying to better yourself, better your life. 0.98
00:51:02.020 If it's 2023, it's not fucking, it ain't free. 0.99
00:51:09.040 Freedom ain't free. 0.97
00:51:10.280 You know how people say freedom ain't free, and people want to be like, where's my freedom?
00:51:14.120 Well, it's not free, so you gotta pay for it.
00:51:17.000 You gotta pay to look good. 0.94
00:51:18.120 You gotta pay to go to a good gym, because if you have a shitty gym, then you're not gonna go. 0.97
00:51:23.440 Or if you have a shitty gym, you know, I'll do what I do.
00:51:25.400 I go one shitty gym and one good gym, and then it's like the kind of good gym, and then it's like the price of one really good gym that's too far away. 0.94
00:51:35.840 It's another thing. 0.81
00:51:36.720 If your gym's too far away, you're not gonna go.
00:51:38.900 You're gonna get frustrated, upset, pissed off.
00:51:41.860 You're not gonna want to go to the gym.
