The Crusty Canuck Podcast - Ghosts Hunts for Don Cherry and Jess Allen

00:00:00.600 Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. It is November 19th, 2019.

00:00:05.540 Today's podcast will consist on the whole fallout issue with Don Cherry and Jess Allen and comments being made in big, bad words.

00:00:13.580 And more ghost hunting. All that more coming up on the Krusty Connect podcast. Stay tuned.

00:00:20.160 Get it, sweetheart.

00:00:22.360 Because I am hard, you will not like me.

00:00:25.060 Yes, sir.

00:00:26.080 There is no racial bigotry here.

00:00:33.340 There you are all equally working.

00:00:37.460 That's right, ladies and gentlemen, what I mentioned earlier in regards to Don Cherry and Jess Allen.

00:00:43.480 Yes, the whole controversy and comments made. Don Cherry making his comments on Coach's Corner.

00:00:48.720 And, of course, the ever-so-timed Whitley rebuttal from the Ladies League on The Social.

00:00:55.800 Yes, yes, The Social. Such an informative show, that is. Not.

00:01:00.440 Okay, so let's weigh in.

00:01:01.680 If those of you who have followed Coach's Corner for a very, very long time, like myself, my father, other hockey fans, other Canucks such as myself, and all around general public,

00:01:13.060 you've always seen and heard the difference of opinion between Ron McClain and Don Cherry, respectively.

00:01:20.080 That is what makes that duo so dynamic.

00:01:25.320 You know, they always come across as Ron McClain, the Mr. Level-Headed ex-hockey ref, and Don Cherry, the outspoken and well-to-do ex-coach.

00:01:35.820 You know, he coached Boston back in the 70s.

00:01:37.540 He coached Colorado Rockies before they became the New Jersey Devils.

00:01:41.000 And he's been involved with hockey all of his natural life, as well as made himself a millionaire by business deals and chains of restaurants, what have you.

00:01:51.560 I remember the TV show, The Grapevine, Don Cherry's Grapevine, where he'd interview all the hockey stars of the day.

00:01:57.680 Borya Somming, who played for Toronto.

00:02:00.460 Bobby Orr.

00:02:01.700 Rick Vive, who used to be a Maple Leaf.

00:02:05.560 And the list goes on, on some of the people he conversed with in the game of hockey.

00:02:09.860 Now, Don Cherry has always been outspoken when it comes to veterans, military, social challenges, what have you.

00:02:18.620 But, through every time that I have watched his program, he has never, ever, I say this again, ladies and gentlemen,

00:02:25.780 he has never, ever been blatantly racist, blatantly sexist, blatantly misogynist, right?

00:02:32.280 To quote some of these people who encourage this cancel culture.

00:02:36.620 There's times I've disagreed with them.

00:02:40.620 I disagreed about visors.

00:02:42.100 I disagreed about certain face masks, you know.

00:02:45.880 I've been chipped a couple times in the face while playing hockey, so yeah, I wore a visor for obvious reasons.

00:02:51.720 You know, he would say something against that.

00:02:54.240 But there was never any kind of letter-writing campaign that I can think of that wanted to get him off the air, you know.

00:03:02.420 Of course, government-sponsored, you know, broadcasters such as the CBC and certain radio stations, you know,

00:03:09.360 have to call another government office to investigate him.

00:03:11.560 I'll leave a link to some of these ridiculous investigations that Don Cherry's had after the podcast,

00:03:18.360 when you'll find it at the bottom of the page there.

00:03:20.180 But, see what I mean?

00:03:21.860 And even online, when I posted on my webpage and Facebook that Don didn't deserve it.

00:03:26.220 He didn't, folks.

00:03:27.740 You know, as far as I'm concerned, he didn't deserve it.

00:03:31.360 Maybe a stern talking to or a pee-pee slap or something like that. 0.94

00:03:34.360 But the whole political outrage, what gets me, is that people are always up in arms when a sportscaster or a broadcaster says something.

00:03:46.420 And yet, our beloved cabinet, our elected officials, the past four to five years, 1.00

00:03:51.740 they've been doing things and saying things that are just as stupid or, as some would say, a little more fucking horrendous 1.00

00:03:58.860 in comparison to what Don Cherry said. 1.00

00:04:02.240 Now, I have been in situations where I've been called you people.

00:04:07.040 And I've been in situations where I've been called this and I've been called that.

00:04:10.940 And you'll look at, it's an individual who said it.

00:04:13.360 Okay. 1.00

00:04:14.240 You turn around, you call him a bitch or a dick or whatever, or her a bitch or a dick, whatever. 1.00

00:04:19.600 And there has never been any kind of ceremonious witch hunt or outcry over it. 1.00

00:04:26.080 You know, those individuals, if they did something wrong, they were treated harshly.

00:04:32.240 And they were punished harshly for it.

00:04:34.940 But what I'm seeing here now is I'm seeing such outrage over a dynamic that has been going on for 38 years.

00:04:45.220 Here's a guy, self-made, self-taught, basically, created such a following and dedication just because of his outspoken ways

00:05:01.240 and because of what he has done.

00:05:03.280 Now, he has been to Afghanistan to see the troops.

00:05:05.560 He has met Americans and Canadian soldiers alike.

00:05:10.580 And some American friends have actually sent me emails stating that, yeah, he's a class act, not just because of his wealth,

00:05:18.820 but because of the way he approaches things.

00:05:20.540 You know, when he says magical words like kookaloos and stuff like that, talking about climate change

00:05:26.120 and making fun of the Weyrton-Willie issue, that was hilarious.

00:05:30.280 That was just funny.

00:05:32.220 And I'm pretty sure his intentions was to be funny, too.

00:05:36.560 Now, there's some of my other friends out there who are worried about racial divide.

00:05:43.220 I don't think he said anything racist, folks.

00:05:46.200 You know, it might have been belligerent. 0.58

00:05:47.800 It might have been somewhat ignorant, but not to a point where you get let down

00:05:50.800 and be held accountable for Canada's social issues because of it.

00:05:56.500 Now, with that being said, let's take Jess Allen, you know, one of the broadcasters on the show, The Social,

00:06:04.780 CTV's knockoff of the American counterpart of The View.

00:06:09.660 You know, all these ladies from diverse backgrounds weighing in on today's social challenges and aspects in media and what have you. 1.00

00:06:16.220 And Miss Chess Allen, in her infinite wisdom, talking about hockey and how it impacted her in a negative way

00:06:21.280 because she grew up with some bullies. 1.00

00:06:23.140 And I'll leave a link at the bottom here, too, just for yourself.

00:06:25.660 But when I look at people like Jess Allen, and there I am, I'm saying that you people, like Jess Allen,

00:06:33.220 ooh, I'm such an effective person, sitting there weighing in because you had a bad experience with hockey, you know,

00:06:39.360 and then labeling, oh, the white hockey boys or whatever she said.

00:06:43.940 To sum it all up, she had to throw in the color there, too, 0.55

00:06:47.320 making it sound like that every kid that played hockey was one a goon or some kind of bigot 0.94

00:06:53.120 or some kind of racist or some kind of misogynist.

00:06:55.660 Now, I played organized hockey until I was about 15 years old, and then I stopped, right?

00:07:01.400 I had no prospects of going anywhere other than just my local town leagues and just playing along

00:07:07.460 and enjoying the sport for what it was.

00:07:10.280 And I played with some kids that were good, and I played with some kids that were bad.

00:07:14.280 I don't recall any of them making it big in the OHL and the NHL.

00:07:21.520 I don't recall too many of these so-called superstars that I played with getting any farther than high school hockey

00:07:28.920 or, if they're lucky, maybe some post-secondary. 0.99

00:07:31.200 But we all played the game, and yet there were buffoons and there were goons and there were idiots 1.00

00:07:37.900 and there were good players and there were leaders, 0.99

00:07:40.620 and there was quite a diverse mix of personalities involved with the game.

00:07:46.580 And I played with, quote-unquote, black kids, and I played with native kids.

00:07:50.800 I ended up coaching some kids later on.

00:07:56.660 But that's another story.

00:07:59.220 To make a long story short, regardless of what you get into and where you grew up,

00:08:04.020 there is going to be a negative impact on something.

00:08:07.120 And the point I'm trying to make to Ms. Jess Allen is that your comment was just as terrible,

00:08:12.100 if not more than terrible, than what Don Cherry said.

00:08:15.960 Huh? Don Cherry said, you people.

00:08:19.020 Now, you can think that he was directing it at brand-new Canadian immigrants 0.99

00:08:22.880 or brand-new Canadians or immigrants of this or people of this color or that color,

00:08:27.300 but he did not specify any certain color, any certain creed, any certain religion,

00:08:33.060 or any certain ideology.

00:08:35.980 And it might have been brutish, but he made a valid point, as every other Canadian does.

00:08:43.760 And it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not. 0.99

00:08:45.240 But people are on television making points all the fucking time. 0.96

00:08:49.220 I'm here making a point, but I'm not forcing you to listen to my show, now am I? 0.98

00:08:54.160 Right?

00:08:55.080 There's many other podcasters and other homegrown broadcasters out there doing the same thing.

00:09:01.460 People say this, people say that.

00:09:02.860 Well, I don't agree with this, I don't agree with that.

00:09:04.720 I have fellow soldiers that I served with who don't agree with some of my points.

00:09:09.460 And I'm fortunate enough to engage with them in a positive and social manner.

00:09:13.980 And we discuss it like adults should.

00:09:16.960 But this whole cancer culture mentality, where you take one guy,

00:09:20.860 it doesn't matter if he's 85 years old, and it doesn't matter if he's 45 years old.

00:09:24.740 It doesn't matter if he's white, black, pink, purple, whatever.

00:09:28.280 It doesn't matter if she's white, pink, black, or purple.

00:09:31.360 Right? 1.00

00:09:31.740 It is the same frickin' favoritist bullshit when it comes to, well, she said it, it's okay. 1.00

00:09:39.160 He said it, well, it's not bad. 1.00

00:09:40.720 Or it is bad if he says this, or it's bad if he says that.

00:09:43.500 But she said it, so it's okay.

00:09:45.880 You know, I don't care what apologies supposedly came out of CTV or the people at the social.

00:09:51.780 Well, she said a bad thing too, apparently.

00:09:54.380 So why isn't she getting fired? 1.00

00:09:56.020 If you're going to fire Don Cherry for saying that, then you fire Jess Allen too.

00:10:01.800 Really? 0.96

00:10:02.380 What's good for the goose is good for the fuckin' gander. 0.97

00:10:05.260 Really? 0.96

00:10:06.720 You know?

00:10:07.640 I just explained my hockey story.

00:10:10.400 You know, quote-unquote, my lived experience.

00:10:13.960 Right?

00:10:14.360 And it wasn't bad, folks.

00:10:17.080 You know?

00:10:18.080 I was bullied too growing up.

00:10:20.620 Right?

00:10:21.380 And it come to a point in my life where I bullied back. 0.98

00:10:24.040 And I stood my fuckin' ground. 0.99

00:10:26.040 And I didn't take any shit. 1.00

00:10:28.640 Well. 0.99

00:10:29.760 So what's her excuse?

00:10:30.840 What's your excuse, Miss Allen?

00:10:32.560 Huh?

00:10:34.080 You know?

00:10:35.360 Oh, worship at the altar of hockey.

00:10:37.000 Well, you're right.

00:10:37.520 There's a lot of hockey enthusiasts out there. 0.97

00:10:39.880 A lot of people do worship the game because it's a great fuckin' sport. 0.93

00:10:43.320 Football's a great sport. 0.97

00:10:44.620 Basketball's a great sport.

00:10:45.700 Soccer's a great sport.

00:10:47.240 Lacrosse. 0.98

00:10:47.680 Now, that's a fuckin' game to watch too. 0.99

00:10:49.480 So that's an amazing fuckin' sport, that one. 0.98

00:10:52.900 Hell, I even take the time to watch some Scottish shinty once in a while. 0.99

00:10:56.020 And Irish football.

00:10:57.420 And hurling. 0.97

00:10:58.120 That's a fuckin' great sport too. 0.97

00:11:00.000 But that's more Irish than Scottish there. 0.94

00:11:02.260 But to sum it all up, you know, hockey has made a lot of Canadians happy.

00:11:08.700 Made a lot of Canadians famous.

00:11:10.060 Made a lot of Canadians rich.

00:11:11.040 And it helped a lot of kids develop and turn into functioning adults.

00:11:17.780 Right? 0.90

00:11:18.920 So, you know, if your lived experience, Miss Allen, was that so fuckin' terrible because of the game of hockey. 0.96

00:11:25.060 Then okay. 0.93

00:11:25.920 You don't have to associate it.

00:11:27.640 And yet, you have every right to speak your mind like you did.

00:11:31.680 And guess what?

00:11:32.680 So does Don Cherry.

00:11:34.580 Right?

00:11:35.600 So, if you want to cut it up into equality, fine.

00:11:40.540 You punish them both for saying such hideous things.

00:11:43.280 Do I believe Don Cherry should have been fired for what he said?

00:11:45.760 No.

00:11:46.260 Not really.

00:11:47.160 Do I believe Miss Allen should have been fired for what she said?

00:11:49.300 No.

00:11:50.020 I don't.

00:11:51.400 Right?

00:11:51.800 Right?

00:11:53.460 But if you're going to fire Don, then you fire Jess too.

00:11:56.980 Period.

00:11:58.080 You know?

00:11:58.960 They both have the right to speak their minds.

00:12:00.560 Everybody in this country, as far as I'm concerned, has the right to speak their minds, to express themselves freely.

00:12:06.980 Freedom of speech is paramount.

00:12:09.480 And if you're constantly going to hide behind words and be scared, and oh my goodness, Don Cherry said, you people.

00:12:16.320 Well, the panel of the social kept saying, you people.

00:12:19.440 Greta Thunberg has said, you people, how dare you?

00:12:23.060 Right?

00:12:23.320 Don didn't specify what race, or what gender, or what color, or what ideology.

00:12:33.540 He just told people to smarten up and take into account.

00:12:37.020 You know?

00:12:37.320 Nobody has to wear a poppy.

00:12:39.320 Right?

00:12:40.060 I made that point in my last podcast.

00:12:41.760 You don't have to wear a poppy.

00:12:43.100 But if something ain't broke, don't fix it.

00:12:45.440 Right?

00:12:45.660 And Mr. Cherry was just showing his appreciation and love for our veterans, our serving members, and for everybody who gave their lives for our country.

00:12:59.820 And there's nothing wrong with that, folks, regardless of how you feel about warfare.

00:13:04.760 You know?

00:13:06.320 Those individuals that have sent me some hateful emails in the past week or so.

00:13:10.300 So, you know, I don't sit around watching, you know, Call of Duty, getting a semi, getting ready to, you know, get out there and play the five-knuckle shuffle.

00:13:21.740 Some of those battles I've been through.

00:13:24.720 And some of those battles I've witnessed.

00:13:27.920 And a lot of my friends have incurred real battles with real bullets.

00:13:34.140 And screams. 0.83

00:13:35.640 And explosions.

00:13:36.900 And cracks and thumps.

00:13:38.520 And tracer rounds going overhead.

00:13:40.900 You know, I'm going back to that again.

00:13:42.160 I don't want to, but I'm making a point here.

00:13:44.940 You know? 1.00

00:13:45.720 If you're going to sit there and persecute any broadcaster for saying something, then you hold that person into account if he or she says something stupid. 1.00

00:13:53.920 Right? 0.99

00:13:54.760 But you keep throwing the race card up there in this victimhood mentality.

00:13:58.400 Nothing is going to get done.

00:14:00.520 You know?

00:14:01.600 Oh, we have to cancel this.

00:14:02.840 We have to stop this.

00:14:03.600 We have to stop this person from saying this.

00:14:05.220 Oh, we can't say these bad words.

00:14:06.860 Oh, we can't do this.

00:14:07.820 We can't do that. 0.95

00:14:08.480 But, yes, we constantly have to walk around on tiptoe on everyone's fucking feelings just so somebody doesn't get offended. 0.96

00:14:15.480 Right? 0.98

00:14:17.400 You know, Jagmeet Singh and his infinite wisdom weighing in.

00:14:19.820 Oh, this is a picture of my great-grandfather who fought in a war.

00:14:22.640 Okay, that's great.

00:14:23.920 That's fantastic. 0.99

00:14:25.020 And I'm well aware of how many Sikhs stood up for the British Empire and did wonderful fucking things. 0.98

00:14:30.920 You know? 0.97

00:14:31.200 I'm well aware of how many Africans who stood up for the British Empire and did some wonderful things.

00:14:37.620 I'm well aware of that.

00:14:38.740 But the point Don Cherry was making is that if you come here, you know, do what you can to show something.

00:14:45.640 Show some support.

00:14:47.180 You know?

00:14:47.780 He wasn't pinpointing any race.

00:14:49.960 Do I agree with his mode of delivery?

00:14:52.020 Do I necessarily agree with it?

00:14:53.540 Well, not entirely.

00:14:55.400 But in the same sense, he didn't say anything racial either.

00:14:58.060 So, Mr. Singh, Don Cherry was not saying anything bad about your grandfather.

00:15:03.420 Right?

00:15:04.220 And he's well aware there's numerous immigrants who have come to this country and a lot of First Nations who signed out a line for his or her majesty, respectively.

00:15:15.800 So, put the race card away, folks.

00:15:19.040 It's not a racist issue.

00:15:20.360 Except when you keep mentioning white people like Miss Allen did.

00:15:23.360 Yes, I know. 0.95

00:15:24.040 We're the devils, aren't we, Miss Allen?

00:15:25.700 Yeah, I know.

00:15:26.420 Terrible us.

00:15:27.000 Terrible me. 0.99

00:15:28.440 Well, I should be ashamed for being a white male. 0.98

00:15:31.780 You know?

00:15:32.060 I should be ashamed for being employed and I should be ashamed for paying my bills and paying my taxes and volunteering my time and effort to spend 20 years serving my nation.

00:15:41.360 And then now I'm out and I'm still working, still paying my bills, still paying my taxes.

00:15:45.740 Right? 0.98

00:15:46.100 Now I actually had a standstill for paying taxes right now because I'm encouraging people not to file until this government gets back to fucking work. 0.98

00:15:55.280 Right? 0.72

00:15:55.480 So, while the outrage is going on about Don Cherry saying what he said and Jess Allen saying what she said, we have a government that just finished an election, 21st of October.

00:16:05.320 And sure, now they're sidestepping and interviewing and talking with the Prime Minister and his, you know, infinite wisdom of progress.

00:16:14.220 Yeah, right.

00:16:16.180 And still, they're not back in Parliament yet.

00:16:18.260 You know, they're going to sit in Parliament on the 5th of December and finally try to get back to work.

00:16:24.760 After how many months off?

00:16:26.700 A couple months off to campaign for the election?

00:16:29.960 You know? 0.99

00:16:30.300 And of course, you know, Justin had to take another fucking surfing trip. 0.99

00:16:33.060 Right? 0.99

00:16:33.280 Oh, that's great.

00:16:33.980 You know? 0.99

00:16:34.740 And now he's talking to all the opposition leaders and, you know, Quebec's weighing in with their Le Quebecois bullshit. 0.98

00:16:41.000 And Elizabeth May stepping in, of course. 0.92

00:16:43.280 And Jagmeet Singh and Andrew Scheer.

00:16:45.460 And just, I don't know. 0.99

00:16:47.320 It's a shit show, ladies and gentlemen. 0.99

00:16:50.560 You know, they fought hard for two months to be elected again or to get more seats. 1.00

00:16:55.940 All parties.

00:16:57.360 And now they have another couple months off before they get back to work.

00:17:00.300 It must be nice, eh?

00:17:01.520 It must be nice to earn $175,000 at minimum a year to go back to work four months after the fact.

00:17:08.120 Right? 0.96

00:17:08.560 It must be really fucking nice. 0.98

00:17:10.500 So, no wonder the sediment in Alberta and Saskatchewan is WEGZIT. 0.98

00:17:15.240 You know? 1.00

00:17:15.860 The sentiment is just basically, okay, we're getting tired of this shit. 1.00

00:17:20.620 You know? 0.99

00:17:21.700 A few people have actually asked me, how do you feel about WEGZIT, Krusty?

00:17:25.480 You know?

00:17:27.520 I don't know.

00:17:30.160 I honestly don't know.

00:17:32.900 I love this nation.

00:17:35.140 You know?

00:17:35.720 I love what Canada is.

00:17:37.360 I love the fact that Alberta is a great province.

00:17:39.480 I love the fact that Nunavut is a great territory.

00:17:42.100 That B.C. is a great province.

00:17:43.220 A lot of great people in this country, folks. 0.99

00:17:45.920 And I hate to see it turn to shit because a handful of people in Ontario, and I'm not 0.99

00:17:50.660 talking Ontarioans, I'm talking about a handful of people in Ontario that are elected officials 0.99

00:17:55.200 who cater to the few and ignore the many.

00:17:59.700 Okay?

00:18:00.100 And I really would like to take a shovel to Le Bloc Québécois leader. 1.00

00:18:07.200 Smack them over the head. 0.99

00:18:08.120 Not for the sake of encouraging violence, but to hear that nominal ding. 0.98

00:18:13.220 You know what I mean?

00:18:15.580 I'm not encouraging violence here, ladies and gentlemen, but I want to start knocking some

00:18:20.140 sense into these politicians.

00:18:22.040 You know, what makes you so special?

00:18:25.100 What makes you better than everybody else in the country?

00:18:28.720 Right?

00:18:29.620 You ride the coattails of diversity, and you ride the coattails of inclusivity, and yet

00:18:34.420 you're promoting non-inclusive agreements.

00:18:37.180 You're promoting non-diverse agreements.

00:18:39.860 La Belle Provence, in its infinite wisdom, sitting there talking about the Bloc and how they 0.93

00:18:44.560 should get this and get that, and yet they passed a Bill 21 that forbids anybody from

00:18:49.100 wearing religious symbols at work.

00:18:52.500 Okay.

00:18:53.460 How is that being diverse and being inclusive?

00:18:57.080 Right?

00:18:59.380 I don't know. 0.99

00:19:00.060 I don't like dwelling it with these clowns, because they all piss me off. 0.99

00:19:03.640 You know? 0.98

00:19:04.380 And some of these Wexit guys who are talking about just separating us like that, I can see

00:19:10.540 the logic of Wexit.

00:19:11.560 I don't see the logic of Quebec separatism.

00:19:15.400 I don't know.

00:19:16.020 Maybe call me biased, whatever, but I don't know.

00:19:19.480 I remember the Meach Lake Accord back in 95.

00:19:23.700 And the people that wanted to stay barely won.

00:19:28.580 It was a close margin, but you would think something like that would smarten the country

00:19:33.640 up.

00:19:35.220 You know, who we elect to call and who we put in charge of things here.

00:19:38.880 And now you're having a Wexit issue, and a lot of people are weighing in, saying, yes,

00:19:46.100 sure, yes, we got to, you know, to find some kind of solidarity, to find prosperity, you

00:19:52.160 know?

00:19:52.360 And like I've said before, I love Alberta. 0.98

00:19:54.100 It's fucking fantastic out here. 0.98

00:19:56.900 The people are great. 0.99

00:19:58.720 You know?

00:19:59.700 The social approach to things is fantastic.

00:20:02.340 You know?

00:20:02.520 And there is a lot of diversity out here, ladies and gentlemen.

00:20:06.600 It doesn't have to be skin colored.

00:20:08.100 It has to be idea colored.

00:20:11.220 You know?

00:20:11.880 Diversity of ideas.

00:20:12.880 That's what moves us forward.

00:20:17.960 All right?

00:20:18.520 It's not a matter of having a ratio of how many Asians versus whites, or how many whites

00:20:22.420 versus East Indians, or how many East Indians versus African descendants.

00:20:26.220 It's a matter of who can bring the best knowledge to the game, who can bring the best ideas, who

00:20:34.980 can prove that he or she has what it takes to get something on the go.

00:20:40.260 But instead, we got to worry about this diversity issue, this dilemma, equity and quality and

00:20:45.360 quotas, diversity quotas, gender quotas, right?

00:20:51.480 It's one of the reasons why the pipeline wasn't going to get built, because they got some freaking

00:20:55.320 diversity quota in there, some gender quota, how it's going to socially impact people.

00:21:00.800 Well, anything, infrastructure, anything that's going to be built is going to have its impact

00:21:05.980 on things.

00:21:06.980 It's not just going to impact one woman or 10 men.

00:21:10.180 It's going to impact all women and all men in that area.

00:21:14.020 It doesn't take rocket science to figure that out.

00:21:16.440 And usually, if something's being built in a certain area, it's in the name of progress.

00:21:24.400 So it's going to affect a lot of people, economically, socially, right?

00:21:29.480 And of course, the environment, which, you know, I believe in protecting the environment,

00:21:33.400 but I'm also in cahoots with common sense, too.

00:21:38.380 I'm not going to go fishing one day and then dump my lunch garbage into the river. 1.00

00:21:42.080 No, that's just stupid. 0.99

00:21:43.740 I'm going to dispose of my waste of properly. 1.00

00:21:46.440 But you're not going to turn around and charge me another 50 cents a liter of gasoline

00:21:50.140 just to get to my fishing spot, either, and call it your protecting environment.

00:21:55.500 Anyhow, ghost hunting, as I mentioned earlier, ladies and gentlemen, that's what it is.

00:22:00.540 Hunting down Don Cherry for what he said.

00:22:02.700 Hunting down Jessica Allen for what she said.

00:22:05.460 And as I mentioned numerous times in my videos, if you believe in free speech, then you do it.

00:22:10.520 Can't say, I believe in free speech, but you can't say this.

00:22:13.880 Well, okay, but you can't walk into a theater and say fire, fire, fire during your favorite performance of the Transformers.

00:22:21.700 No.

00:22:23.080 That's just common sense.

00:22:24.200 We don't do that.

00:22:24.980 Conventional wisdom would dictate that.

00:22:26.520 But if you're on a TV show once a week for about maybe 10, 15 minutes like Don Cherry and Ron McClain were respectively for the better part of 38 years,

00:22:36.640 and you say this and you say that, why are we holding him accountable on such a high pedestal

00:22:43.640 when you have shows like The Social and The View and The Chew and all these ladies' issues guaranteed shows 1.00

00:22:52.280 all talking about feelings and getting together, but you better comply to what we say or else mentality.

00:22:58.300 Phew, not going to take a breath.

00:23:00.740 That was a long, that was a long little spurge.

00:23:03.440 But, you know, think for yourself, folks, you know.

00:23:07.920 Like I said, there are many times I disagree with Don Cherry and I disagree with Ron McClain, you know,

00:23:12.360 but they would what made Hockey Night in Canada worth watching sometimes, too.

00:23:18.040 You know, their tongue-in-cheek and their back-and-forth excellent, you know.

00:23:23.460 And that was a staple in viewing for the better part of 40 years, ladies and gentlemen.

00:23:31.540 And now we just got to stop because a handful of people were offended or was a handful of guilt, guilty people,

00:23:38.780 you know, people with a guilty conscience for some sort offended, you know.

00:23:44.600 And yet, where was the hidden outrage when Jess Allen said what she did?

00:23:48.300 And thankfully, there were people that wrote CTV and The Social and said,

00:23:53.000 hey, what you said was wrong.

00:23:55.160 But if you're going to fire Don, you should have fired Jess, too.

00:24:00.360 If it was up to me, I'd say I'd bring back Don and I'd say, okay, buds, turn down, you know, 0.99

00:24:04.440 tone down a bit on the fucking you people thing. 0.99

00:24:06.280 And I'd tell Jess Allen, lay off this whole male privilege bullshit 1.00

00:24:11.160 and this whole white boy crap, right? 1.00

00:24:15.620 And then keep the airlines, sorry, keep the airwaves, airlines, fuck. 1.00

00:24:20.880 Duh. 0.99

00:24:21.740 Keep the airwaves open, right? 1.00

00:24:25.820 Shit simple, you know. 0.98

00:24:28.880 I don't think the whole Don Cherry dilemma is a big issue, 0.99

00:24:32.120 but it's starting to prove what we're being allowed to say,

00:24:36.200 what we're not being allowed to say.

00:24:37.900 And who's allowed to say this and who isn't allowed to say this, right?

00:24:44.040 It reminds me of a headline I read today about the whole new Charlie's Angel movie

00:24:47.800 that Elizabeth Banks, you know her from Hunger Games

00:24:52.060 and what the hell is that movie she made with Seth Rogen? 0.96

00:24:56.520 Jim and Miri make a porno or something like that. 0.85

00:24:58.240 It was a Kevin Smith film.

00:24:59.780 It was quite funny.

00:25:01.240 And some of her comments were, well, you know,

00:25:04.260 it's sexist men who don't make,

00:25:07.300 or men who don't want to see female action stars

00:25:10.220 or something like that.

00:25:12.480 Because the movie only made something like $8 million

00:25:14.080 on its release, initial release.

00:25:16.300 It's only been out for maybe two or three days.

00:25:17.640 So I guess to some business standards, that's flopping.

00:25:22.080 But it just boggles my mind here.

00:25:26.540 Not that I really care about a new Charlie's Angel movie or not. 0.98

00:25:29.800 I could give two shits about it. 0.69

00:25:32.000 I enjoyed the first one because it was funny. 0.98

00:25:34.760 It was tongue-in-cheek.

00:25:35.760 It was some humor.

00:25:37.320 You know, some real talented actors in there

00:25:38.980 who actually, you know, enjoy what they do.

00:25:42.640 And they weren't expecting any kind of gratuitous applause

00:25:44.800 just because they were female. 1.00

00:25:45.980 So, you know, but what gets me is

00:25:51.720 the moment something doesn't work for a director

00:25:55.360 or for a producer or anybody for that matter,

00:25:58.840 turn around and blame sexism for it.

00:26:00.900 It's like, well, I don't know.

00:26:03.200 I would sooner see Sir Gordy Weaver in Galaxy Quest II

00:26:05.780 than go see a Charlie's Angels movie. 0.99

00:26:08.820 I would sooner see Sir Gordy Weaver kicking aliens' asses, 0.99

00:26:12.880 you know, in another aliens' redo. 0.99

00:26:15.980 Or seeing her again in another avatar, you know.

00:26:20.720 So, Elizabeth Banks, you're wrong.

00:26:23.480 Meh.

00:26:23.940 Next.

00:26:26.360 Anyhow, back to more ghost hunts.

00:26:28.820 You know, we as a country,

00:26:31.720 I like to think we're smarter

00:26:33.500 than what the media is portraying us to be.

00:26:38.040 You know, regardless of what you say,

00:26:41.340 regardless of what you do,

00:26:42.120 you know, you're constantly being recorded

00:26:44.640 and you're constantly being observed

00:26:46.300 because of the advent of social media

00:26:48.220 and the success it has created

00:26:51.740 with some individuals, respectively.

00:26:54.900 But, I don't know.

00:26:56.240 It looks like free speech is dying.

00:26:59.380 So, it's going to take people like myself

00:27:00.800 and you, my listeners,

00:27:02.160 and my fans out there alike,

00:27:03.620 to get out there and speak your minds.

00:27:05.160 Speak your words.

00:27:06.560 Get them out there.

00:27:08.000 You know.

00:27:09.820 We're finding more and more news streams

00:27:11.620 being sequestered,

00:27:12.200 being told what to say,

00:27:14.620 what not to say.

00:27:16.400 Right?

00:27:16.660 Considering that Justin Trudeau

00:27:17.780 spends $595 million

00:27:20.180 on, quote-unquote,

00:27:21.960 bailing out,

00:27:23.500 fledgling media in this country,

00:27:25.740 he obviously bought the media

00:27:27.280 for that price.

00:27:28.900 Right?

00:27:29.800 Regardless of what you believe in or not

00:27:31.380 and whose cahoots with Facebook

00:27:32.720 or Google alike,

00:27:34.800 you know,

00:27:35.140 there are people cracking down

00:27:36.340 on people saying words

00:27:39.800 and speaking their mind

00:27:41.460 because they don't want to upset things.

00:27:44.320 You know, when you stifle somebody,

00:27:45.660 you stifle many.

00:27:46.520 You don't just stifle the one.

00:27:47.680 You stifle a few.

00:27:49.640 Well,

00:27:50.520 they're seeing that trouble

00:27:51.340 in Iran and Iraq right now.

00:27:52.800 People getting out,

00:27:53.500 getting words out

00:27:54.260 because they're citizens

00:27:55.620 who are having enough 1.00

00:27:56.500 of this bullshit. 1.00

00:27:57.640 To my American friends 1.00

00:27:58.700 and listeners out there,

00:27:59.680 you know as well as I do,

00:28:00.860 there are people being stifled

00:28:02.660 left and right

00:28:03.380 regardless if they hold

00:28:04.340 the left's perspective

00:28:06.100 or the right perspective.

00:28:07.980 Right?

00:28:08.380 I, too, have been called

00:28:09.560 a far alt-right activist.

00:28:12.060 Oh, yeah,

00:28:15.520 I'm so alt-right.

00:28:16.760 I love my country

00:28:17.860 and I wave my flag.

00:28:18.840 I guess that makes me all right.

00:28:20.720 All right?

00:28:22.480 Well,

00:28:22.800 you can say

00:28:25.000 I have conservative values.

00:28:26.140 I have libertarian values

00:28:27.100 and liberal values.

00:28:28.100 Live and let live.

00:28:28.840 Do what you want to do.

00:28:30.040 But the moment you tell me

00:28:31.080 I can't say something

00:28:32.280 or I can't do something,

00:28:33.900 I'm going to bloody well 0.99

00:28:34.760 fucking ask you why. 0.99

00:28:36.460 And you better give me 1.00

00:28:37.180 a concrete answer.

00:28:38.160 not just

00:28:39.480 OK, Boomer 1.00

00:28:40.540 or shut the fuck up, Boomer. 1.00

00:28:43.220 You're going to have to do 1.00

00:28:43.760 a better comeback than that.

00:28:45.020 That's funny, though,

00:28:45.800 that OK, Boomer signs.

00:28:47.680 You know,

00:28:48.200 are you calling me Boomer

00:28:49.100 from Battlestar Galactica

00:28:50.300 or do you think

00:28:51.120 I'm an actual baby Boomer?

00:28:52.940 Think about it.

00:28:53.620 You know?

00:28:57.540 Another pitiful attempt

00:28:58.800 of the left's way

00:28:59.540 of trying to shut people up

00:29:01.220 because bad words

00:29:02.140 scare them.

00:29:04.300 So.

00:29:04.440 Anyhow,

00:29:07.620 that's my spiel

00:29:08.240 on Don Cherry.

00:29:09.040 You know,

00:29:09.220 hoping my best.

00:29:09.880 I hear he's going to do

00:29:10.360 a podcast in the works.

00:29:11.920 So I actually might

00:29:13.480 take a chance

00:29:14.060 and download

00:29:14.400 what he has to say.

00:29:16.620 You know,

00:29:17.200 and as for shows

00:29:18.480 like The Tho Show,

00:29:19.900 you know,

00:29:20.460 I never really watched

00:29:21.420 it begin with.

00:29:23.000 Like to me,

00:29:23.500 what I have watched on it

00:29:24.840 is just a typical ripoff

00:29:26.360 of The View

00:29:28.320 down in the States there.

00:29:29.840 And I don't watch

00:29:30.440 The View either.

00:29:32.320 You know,

00:29:32.640 I just think it's 0.99

00:29:33.480 a fucking joke. 0.99

00:29:36.420 You know, 1.00

00:29:36.640 everybody weighing in

00:29:37.380 and oh,

00:29:38.060 you can't say this

00:29:38.760 and you can't say that

00:29:39.660 and oh,

00:29:40.440 all these wonderful things

00:29:41.840 and I don't find

00:29:44.320 they get enough

00:29:44.840 perspectives out there

00:29:45.900 on these TV shows.

00:29:47.700 Well,

00:29:48.620 that's just me though.

00:29:50.740 Anyway,

00:29:52.020 before I go,

00:29:53.060 I'm going to do

00:29:53.380 my little,

00:29:53.900 another promotion here.

00:33:19.960 They think communism

00:33:20.660 is the way it's at 1.00

00:33:21.400 and they're fucking 0.99

00:33:22.240 farty mistaken. 0.99
