00:00:00.000 welcome everyone to ratioed my name is Harrison Faulkner we have a stacked lineup of content to
00:00:12.960 get into this week we start the show off with global news telling us about the plight of
00:00:16.880 asexual Canadians yes asexual that's another letter in the alphabet and number soup that
00:00:22.080 we're all supposed to know by now then we turn our focus to a bird conservation society that put out
00:00:27.120 a very bizarre video of a man dressed up as a woman dressed up as a bird telling us that we need
00:00:33.200 to do more to fight climate change then we go to irrelevant formula one driver Sebastian Vettel
00:00:39.280 telling us while on Canadian soil that Canada has committed a climate crime and we wrap up the show
00:00:44.720 this week with the ratio of the week award as we always do this week it is going to a Canadian
00:00:49.920 professor who got ratioed so badly on twitter that international news picked it up and shamed him for
00:00:55.360 it let's get into it all right everyone buckle up because the cringe this week is going to come 1.00
00:00:59.120 thick and fast and we start with global news now i'll just say as well global news i tend to find
00:01:04.400 is not the worst of all Canadian legacy media they're pretty bad but they're not definitely
00:01:08.320 not the worst and they're usually not the ones that get into these weird woke movements but
00:01:13.440 nonetheless that didn't stop global news this week global news on twitter wrote quote asexuality is just
00:01:18.960 as valid an orientation as being lesbian or gay or bi but of course we need to make it asexuality so 0.99
00:01:24.080 that women like this can reap the sympathy from being profiled in global news so the tweet 1.00
00:01:29.760 graphic starts off with the portrait of this woman and then the alphabet and number soup of 2SLGBTQQIA plus
00:01:39.920 now whatever all that means i still do not know i can define LGBT and Q but i don't know where the
00:01:47.600 second Q comes in i don't know what the I is and i guess the A is asexual now and the plus is just
00:01:54.320 whatever you want to make of it the graphic then reads it's a quote from this woman Hadley Abrams
00:01:59.440 it says it's just like realizing that someone thinks the sky is green their entire life and i'm like what
00:02:05.440 do you mean that's not what i see as green what is that what does any of that mean it's just like
00:02:10.720 realizing the sky is green but i'm like what do you mean that's not what i see as green but what i see in
00:02:15.520 this photo here is a woman looking for as much attention as she can get now the comments on this 0.98
00:02:20.800 of course are pretty brilliant let's just start with a couple of them here we start off with this
00:02:24.960 one what is the percentage of canadians that identify as asexual i'm guessing much less than
00:02:30.000 one percent be whoever you want love is love but why must we be beaten over the head with this constantly
00:02:35.200 most people cannot care less and why does global news think that we really care about this stuff
00:02:40.880 why does global news think that given that this person represents less than one percent of the
00:02:44.320 country we need to stop what we're doing and be told about this woman's life story and about what
00:02:48.720 color she thinks the sky is the next comment i think is really the best of them all which is
00:02:53.200 me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me also next we have this is news in canada
00:03:00.880 and the truth is unfortunately the legacy media that's what we get as news this is news to them and
00:03:06.000 one of the perfect comments from this tweet was this let me take a minute away from the current
00:03:11.840 economic disaster to care about this nope yeah like we have some other things to care about canada we
00:03:17.680 have some other more important pressing issues than this woman's confused asexuality all right everyone
00:03:24.320 so we now turn our focus to the audubon society a group of bird conservationists who really didn't
00:03:30.480 want to miss their opportunity to jump on the pride month bandwagon and have their opportunity to 0.99
00:03:36.480 embarrass themselves by putting out the worst content imaginable now they put out a tweet this
00:03:42.000 week which wrote this pride month audubon partnered with drag queen and intersectional environmentalist
00:03:49.040 patty donia to bring you hashtag birds tell us the song of the meadowlark a message of hope for the
00:03:56.640 future of our planet as we face climate change if we choose to listen all right folks take this as a
00:04:02.800 content warning what you're going to see here is a man dressed up as a woman pretending to be a bird
00:04:09.680 dancing in a field while performing some singing spoken poetry song birds tell us let's watch this
00:04:21.760 birds tell us birds tell us that the world is changing that the climate is changing they sing it over
00:04:43.200 us and around us in their songs and in the songs they no longer will we choose to listen birds tell us
00:05:08.000 do you know why birds sing just before dawn
00:05:13.760 people believe it's to tell each other that they made it through the night
00:05:18.880 as a way of saying i'm still here still here maybe that's why we sing too
00:05:25.520 as a way of saying i made it i'm still here oh my god stop
00:05:32.000 that goes on for another minute now i wonder how many years it'll take us as a society to look back and
00:05:38.160 come to the realization of the full scale of cringe and embarrassment we've all put ourselves through
00:05:43.040 over these past few years because we're reaching new levels new new heights never before reached 0.74
00:05:48.720 of of just absolute clown town ridiculousness also couldn't this audubon society just show birds the
00:05:56.000 entire video couldn't they just show birds and have this person talking in the background do they really 0.99
00:06:00.000 need to be the focus of the video does does their weird drag queen gender ideology crap need to be the 1.00
00:06:06.960 front and center of this video to push the message for climate change now before we get into the 0.58
00:06:11.920 comments on the video because well of course we have to get into those obviously now something else
00:06:16.800 that i just don't understand is if climate change is such an important issue for these activists why
00:06:21.520 would they make such a mockery of their activism by showing a drag queen dressed up as a bird dancing 0.78
00:06:27.600 in a field is this really going to inspire us to get involved in climate activism or is it just going to 0.99
00:06:33.120 make us all laugh at them and think they're all stupid now there's almost 2000 quote tweets and 0.90
00:06:37.200 that's because the audubon society was too afraid to leave their comment section open to hear what 0.93
00:06:41.280 people really had to think about their video the first quote tweet we have is how will this help
00:06:45.840 save more birds which is of course exactly what this is this is not about climate this is not about
00:06:50.240 birds this is about pushing gender ideology and i think the sooner we all come to realize that none of
00:06:55.600 this is about anything other than pushing a specific ideology the better off we will all be next we have
00:07:01.600 gad sad who pretty much bats a thousand every time he goes on twitter he wrote nice intersectional
00:07:07.200 environmentalist and a drag queen and lastly we have tell me this is a parody and unfortunately 0.74
00:07:12.560 no it's not a parody this is just the world we live in we live in a parody now there's two types 0.97
00:07:17.440 of people that i really can't stand hypocrites and slow drivers and last weekend canadians were
00:07:21.760 treated to a two-in-one package when sebastian vettel showed up to the canadian grand prix wearing a t-shirt 0.92
00:07:27.120 that said stop mining tar sands oil canada's climate crime now sebastian vettel finished the
00:07:33.440 race on sunday 44 seconds behind the winner max verstappen and to his credit sebastian vettel used
00:07:39.040 to be fast he used to be quite a good racer but now he's slower around the track than the customs
00:07:43.280 line at pearson airport sebastian vettel races for a team called aston martin racing one of aston martin's
00:07:49.840 biggest sponsors is aramco saudi aramco the world's largest oil producer and the company responsible
00:07:57.440 for four percent of global carbon emissions yes one company responsible for four percent of the
00:08:03.760 global carbon emissions a man sporting the aramco logo on his helmet and on his jacket of the race and
00:08:10.320 on his car said that it would be a good idea for a foreigner visiting canada as a guest of our country
00:08:15.600 to attack our oil sands production to attack our clean production while sporting the logo of
00:08:21.680 blood-stained saudi arabian oil manufacturers now i think it's fair that we expect our athletes not to
00:08:27.600 be the brightest bulbs in the box not to be the smartest people around but as soon as they decide
00:08:33.120 to attack the country they are visiting as a guest and engage in activism they better be able to answer
00:08:38.800 for that they better be able to answer for the fact that this man is making 15 million dollars a year
00:08:43.840 off of the back of a saudi arabian blood-stained oil manufacturer in aramco now he was asked about
00:08:50.560 his protest in a press conference now just listen to the hypocrisy of this low iq race car driver i do
00:08:57.280 a lot of reading on the subject because um i find this yeah fascinating might be the wrong word but it's
00:09:03.120 um you know there's a lot going on and i think we live in a time and age where we are so much aware of a
00:09:09.040 a lot of things um so there's a lot of reading on this subject and we live in a time and an age where
00:09:14.160 we are so much aware of a lot of things shakespearean one might say i think uh you know what happens in
00:09:21.600 alberta is a crime because you chop down a lot of trees and you basically destroy uh the place um just
00:09:28.960 to extract oil and the manner of doing it with the tar sands mining oil sands mining is horrible for
00:09:35.840 for nature and um obviously canada's greenhouse gas emissions also have gone up since uh they started 0.99
00:09:42.480 doing it what you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things i have ever heard 0.98
00:09:49.760 at no point in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be 0.99
00:09:57.280 considered a rational thought everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it now i think
00:10:04.400 it's clear that sebastian vettel's attempt at activism is just a really is really just a sad
00:10:08.320 attempt to try and stay relevant after watching that clip it's pretty clear that vettel is as slow
00:10:11.920 in his head as he is in the race car time to hang it up i think now to wrap it up this week we have the
00:10:16.880 ratio of the week award to hand out and this week i'm pretty happy that it's going to a truly deserving
00:10:21.360 winner this person went above and beyond this week he went out of his way to make sure that he
00:10:25.680 was deserving of the award we're talking of course about canadian university of ottawa professor amir
00:10:32.000 ataran now amir was on a united airlines flight last week and he took a photo of a flight attendant
00:10:38.800 not wearing a mask while on an american flight following american air safety rules so again this
00:10:44.800 woman was following the rules of her airline and her flight and god forbid she wasn't wearing a mask 0.65
00:10:51.040 on the plane now instead of being a decent person and letting it go because it doesn't matter no this
00:10:56.960 person wearing a giant face mask because that's what healthy insane people do this person wearing
00:11:03.360 that mask took a photo of this poor woman and blasted it online tagging legacy media news outlets 1.00
00:11:09.600 and united airlines to complain about this woman quote not following the rules let's look at this tweet
00:11:14.480 the tweet has 15.6 000 comments and 910 likes i mean that is that is truly special stuff that you do not
00:11:24.880 see that every day that is basically the worst you can do on twitter i think he writes in the tweet
00:11:30.960 hey at united why are you breaking the law masks are required on all flights out of canada your flight
00:11:38.560 attendant isn't wearing one this is ua3737 in ottawa right now and he tags the rcmp transport canada
00:11:48.160 and then cbc politics globe and mail global news and then some some air rights organization
00:11:54.880 now it appears as though after a few too many in-flight cocktails amir adharan continued his
00:11:59.360 long twitter thread to attack this woman he writes canada is not in the usa you efforts he writes united
00:12:07.840 should be forbidden flying to canada immediately our country our rules even the supervisor i talked
00:12:14.320 with in chicago didn't understand canadian rules apply to flights departing canada and he tags omar al
00:12:20.000 gabrus so he's going full karen mode he's going full lunatic and full freak and he just lays into
00:12:25.600 it and he keeps going now even weirder is that united airlines responded to this man for some 0.95
00:12:32.720 reason they did not need to because everyone seeing this realizes this person is a total lunatic but
00:12:37.920 united airlines took the high road i guess you could say and responded to the person on twitter and said
00:12:43.520 hi amir thanks for bringing this to our attention we've informed the appropriate teams for further
00:12:48.240 review and that's not good enough for amir karen adoran amir responds with further review sorry at
00:12:54.080 united that's bs transport canada says very clearly right here wear a mask throughout your
00:12:59.120 entire travel journey except for brief periods while eating drinking or taking oral medication
00:13:04.080 surely you can understand that no i want to see the manager this man just got absolutely brutalized
00:13:10.240 on twitter and unfortunately it appears as though he enjoys it too this is an amazing response
00:13:15.280 which is a picture of his scholarly work and the amount of citations he's received from writing
00:13:21.120 and it goes 65 papers and only 15 citations you get ratioed everywhere perfect so perfect
00:13:28.240 i love this one this is a picture of randall weems from recess and it says same energy it's just perfect
00:13:35.200 now you know you've really messed up when people start making meme videos of you in your own
