My eye is fine, I have two eyes, and we got a lot of good shows coming up. I also get mad at people who are offended by me comparing Andrew Tate to Jesus Christ. And Ed the sock gets mad at me.
00:01:10.080And 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.
00:01:25.260I have two eyes and we got a lot of good shows coming up.
00:01:30.540If 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.
00:01:44.280And at the end of this month, I'm doing two shows in Toronto.
00:01:50.140We might do some more if we sell them out.
00:01:52.160Let's see what happens at the Royal Comedy Theater, January 27th and 28th.
00:01:58.300So go get tickets for those shows next month, February.
00:02:04.540I'm in Niagara Falls at the end of the month.
00:02:06.860I think it's like the 24th or something.
00:02:18.180So 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.
00:02:31.900I lost, I think, about 900 followers from between, I guess, between saying Andrew Tate was Jesus and telling people to love their trans child.
00:02:44.500That was a little bit too much for people on the the far right.
00:03:34.620If 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.
00:03:42.220You're not funny enough to listen to this fucking podcast.
00:04:55.620So 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.
00:05:04.400And people started and then he kept coming after me, the sock.
00:06:01.940I 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.
00:06:15.540OK, 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.
00:06:30.620Like, how long were these people on vacation for?
00:06:34.600Investigators said in January 2022, two people allegedly pretended to be the homeowners and hired a real estate agent.
00:06:40.420The home was then listed for sale and sold to new homeowners who took possession, police allege.
00:06:47.020Police said the original homeowners were out of the country for business.
00:06:50.740Several months after the property was sold, investigators said the original homeowners discovered that their home was sold without their consent.
00:06:59.360Police have released a photo of a man and a woman on fraud charges after allegedly using fake identification to impersonate the real homeowners.
00:07:06.640Imagine coming home from vacation or a business trip in your home.
00:07:14.580There's just like a Indian family living in it.
00:07:17.800And you're like, what the fuck is this?
00:07:19.420And they're like, we just moved to this house.
00:09:23.400If 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.
00:09:34.240If you're brown and you want to make money in this economy, you got to start selling other people's houses from underneath them.
00:12:09.440Just 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.
00:12:28.480You know, you don't have to let your ideologies control your personality.
00:12:37.100You are more than a fuck Trudeau flag.
00:13:02.120Honestly, Andrew Tate is a bit like Jesus.
00:13:04.000Are 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?
00:13:12.920I'm not saying he's the only person about Jesus, similar to Jesus.
00:13:35.540But the point is, Jesus had followers.
00:13:38.540Anybody who is famous now for these random reasons, these, you know, Goggins and these people that are actual influencers.
00:13:47.800I'm not talking about these, you know, the female influencers on TikTok, you know, showing their ass.
00:13:57.240That'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.
00:14:04.700But it's not there's not really that many female influencers out there being like, ladies, this is how we should act.
00:14:13.180This 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.
00:14:23.400But these guys are influencing people to be better people, to get in shape, to make money, to start a business.
00:14:29.760And then there's all these people being like, no, it's dudes who work at Walmart.
00:14:33.040Now they think they're cool because they listen to Andrew Tate.
00:14:35.360First 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.
00:17:46.860Kids were being taught to lie to parents, but in some ways, the instruction flowed naturally from what has become a common policy throughout Canada.
00:17:55.160Boards 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.
00:18:07.720It's just one way the education system has become intimately involved in the transgender process.
00:18:15.200The transgender process, folks, that's what they're calling it.
00:18:40.260So education systems become intimately involved in the gender transgender process, which affects an exponentially growing number of young Canadians.
00:20:57.980And by the way, here's another question.
00:21:00.120Because 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.
00:21:27.620But 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.
00:21:40.100I 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.
00:25:02.060That's what that's what a good teacher would do.
00:25:05.120You 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.
00:26:07.160You're talking about like gender drugs.
00:26:09.900You want to be on drugs and do all that.
00:26:11.640You got to talk to your parents about that, man.
00:26:13.140Like, 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.
00:26:28.280The problem is the kids and their parents.
00:26:31.360Like, 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?
00:28:40.060I don't think you should be doing it every fucking Tuesday.
00:28:42.700And I definitely don't think it should be used as a form of birth control.
00:28:45.800And 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.
00:28:57.160I don't think you should do it, you know, late term, all this stuff bad.
00:29:01.160But I mean, if you're 15 and you get pregnant.
00:29:06.980Abortion is probably the more fun option for your life.
00:29:15.640But getting an abortion and changing your gender are different.
00:29:22.480They're not that different because you're still murdering a human being, technically, you know, the old you versus a fetus.
00:29:35.840But what are these teachers supposed to do?
00:29:38.160You 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.
00:29:43.180I 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.
00:30:33.040Is the same phenomenon that's happening to boomers with politics.
00:30:38.120The 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.
00:30:53.460And whether it's on the left or the right, they all do it.
00:31:02.800And I used to work with a guy who worked in the liberal parliament and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:31:06.880On 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.
00:31:18.480It's just annoying to hear about it over and over again the same way it's annoying to hear from boomers about trans people.
00:31:28.380The boomers don't want to be trans, but they want to talk about trans and they think they're they're battling this ideology.
00:31:36.940We feel like we're up against the LGBT community.
00:31:39.240You 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.
00:42:07.100Are you one of these people going, this is bullshit, man.
00:42:10.520Like he's fucking like, what are you like promoting like trans ideology, bro?
00:42:15.140Like, are you fucking promoting this show?
00:42:17.380Like, are you like you're probably fucking facts to like you fucking like your soul like woke now.
00:42:22.860Like, no, you're a fucking uneducated retard who couldn't even get into fucking Fanshawe college probably for fucking HVAC.
00:42:31.460And you're sitting on the computer with a fake fucking shitty profile, that little circle.
00:42:36.980You 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.
00:42:44.760And 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.
00:42:53.600And you wanted to believe so badly that blah, blah, blah, the government and yada, yada.
00:42:58.560And now that it's kind of over, you don't know what to do.
00:43:00.940So you're angry because you're still wasting time.
00:43:07.040I 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.
00:44:52.640I 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.
00:44:58.360And I'd get in an argument with him and yada, yada.
00:45:37.840My 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.
00:47:03.420And she's like, none of your fucking business.
00:47:05.320I'm like, we all need to be nice to each other in the elevator.
00:47:07.480I felt like the fucking, I feel like the mask people now.
00:47:10.720I 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.
00:49:02.200Sorry, the camera died for whatever reason.
00:49:05.440Just want to say thank you to all the people who listened to this podcast last week and this week.
00:49:13.220The new people who've joined us, thank you so much.
00:49:16.640This is kind of a short one, but I wanted to talk about my experience at JP's PETA before I get out of here.
00:49:23.760JP'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.
00:49:42.680He's a weird guy, and the food is, he gives you way too much food.
00:49:47.520He loads the PETA so to the brim, and when he hands it to you, he says, here's your Chinese baby.
00:49:59.040That's what he says, or he says something like that.
00:50:00.720He says, this is like the size of a Chinese baby, and I just find it amazing that somebody would say that.
00:50:10.480I feel like he would say that to a Chinese person's face.
00:50:12.720I 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.
00:50:22.160That's like old school, non-woke people.
00:50:24.880He's like Serbian or something or like Greek.
00:50:27.800I 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.
00:50:39.300I 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.
00:50:46.820So I'm back to my two-a-days, two workouts a day, one weights, one cardio for this week.
00:50:53.600I recommend everybody start working out, getting your shit together, and just trying to better yourself, better your life.
00:51:02.020If it's 2023, it's not fucking, it ain't free.
00:51:18.120You gotta pay to go to a good gym, because if you have a shitty gym, then you're not gonna go.
00:51:23.440Or if you have a shitty gym, you know, I'll do what I do.
00:51:25.400I 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.
00:51:49.280Go watch me doing stand-up this Friday and Saturday in Burlington, next Friday and Saturday in, or sorry, not next, but the last Friday and Saturday of the month in Toronto at the Royal Comedy Theater.
