00:01:27.660

00:01:44.560
your dedication thank you out there for a lot of the people who have given me uh warm regards
00:01:51.000
when i posted on my page thank you very much so i'm not gonna beat around the bush here ladies
00:01:59.280
and gentlemen um i had a heart attack last sunday a week ago i was sitting up around 10 o'clock
00:02:06.840
and i was just having a cup of coffee chilling my wife and i was gonna go to bed a decent time
00:02:12.980
because like i said i lost my job like i got laid off and then i got called back to work for two
00:02:18.020
days right and the loss wanted me to stick around for their six weeks because there was more cattle
00:02:22.420
to feed what have you i just got my truck replaced back on the road again so things were working out
00:02:29.520
and then i was getting these sharp pains in my thumbs i was getting some really really sharp
00:02:34.720
pains in my thumbs what the hell is going on here right because i've had a brief issue with my
00:02:40.460
cardiovascular before regardless of my cigarette smoking or not i did have some issues back when i
00:02:46.560
was 40 41 uh just prior to my diagnosis of ptsd and a lot of things were not working out in my
00:02:55.940
favor to make a long story short i tried to go to bed and i couldn't so i take a couple advil and
00:03:02.700
it didn't really subside the pain and i was feeling a lot of pressure it was almost like
00:03:07.080
my chest my back were in a vice and someone was pushing both ends of it and it got to the point
00:03:13.540
was getting sharp pains up my elbows my shoulder and my teeth my teeth were starting to hurt of
00:03:18.000
all things right um reason i'm kind of talking right now is because i have a nicotine replacement
00:03:22.960
in my mouth here it's those xanax i bought a pack of those and they made a world difference
00:03:27.720
but before i carry on with my gospel this episode ladies and gentlemen
00:03:32.320
um a lot of things have come to surface okay now i've had a brief encounter with death
00:03:43.380
before overseas, being shot at, seeing things, doing things, and a brief, I guess you can say
00:03:52.280
a pondulation, a brainstorm prior to my diagnosis of PTSD and how I was going to call it quits
00:04:00.960
myself. Now, I'm not trying to glorify anything of the sort, but when they took me to the hospital
00:04:09.280
Sunday night and I thank my wife for this by the way my wife was there to back me the hell up the
00:04:15.240
whole time and it wasn't for her I don't know I wasn't feeling good and I was diagnosed I had a
00:04:24.260
blockage and they fixed it and all that too but it needed a few days in Sturgeon Medical Center
00:04:32.640
in st obert to get me sorted out so a better diet uh nicorette lots of water um lots of probing
00:04:41.340
lots of fixing and just a better diet and just a better wake up call to say to say the least
00:04:47.340
ladies and gentlemen we're not immortal we gotta remind ourselves that once in a while too that we
00:04:51.580
are not immortal by any means are we uh you know are we partial uh to to life's little mysteries
00:05:02.960
and that includes heart and that includes your brain includes your blood everything
00:05:06.580
and i'm 52 years old and i should have quit the habit a long time ago but of course you know
00:05:14.400
being cocky being a man whatever lame excuse we keep giving ourselves i kept on puffing away
00:05:21.560
way i was doing about a pack and a half a day or more and um since i got home on wednesday
00:05:29.520
you know i'm taking it easy i'm not supposed to work for the next month so if you do want to
00:05:35.280
donate ladies gentlemen please every little bit will help me if you can you know you don't have
00:05:39.040
to but if you can find it with yourself to donate to help my income along that'd be great but uh
00:05:46.320
a lot of things come to surface a lot of ugly truths that i should have realized a long time
00:05:52.200
ago a lot of things i should have done a lot of things i should have kept in check because at one
00:05:59.000
time in my career i was playing hockey lacrosse soccer and i was coaching lacrosse and soccer
00:06:05.200
and i was very fit um i was managing to bench at least 260 i did that four times i pushed up 260
00:06:13.160
pounds and i was quite pleased with myself at the time but that doesn't pay the bills that doesn't
00:06:17.680
keep things going that's just a bragging right you give yourself after you've done it and at one time
00:06:22.780
i used to run uh 5k under 25 minutes so that was good for me that was my personal goal and i
00:06:28.020
maintained it for a long time but i'm not going to sit here and tell people quit the cigarettes
00:06:38.720
quit the booze do what you got to do that makes you happy okay but don't put your happiness before
00:06:45.900
your families or your husbands or your your wife or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
00:06:51.360
you got to work together in those things and my wife she's a smoker too she sure as hell didn't
00:06:58.420
smoke as much as i did but uh no she's con contemplating it too um she was there and she
00:07:06.480
could and she was very supportive and this past week she's been nothing but supportive nothing but
00:07:11.460
but there for me and it's been very very warm and loving and a lot of revelations have come
00:07:20.860
to surface because of this so i'm still here ladies and gentlemen so everyone who has backed
00:07:25.820
me up since the heart attack thank you and i'm grateful and for those who are just finding out
00:07:33.140
right now um yeah it was brief didn't have to cut me open like they cut my chest open or anything
00:07:39.280
like that but from what they saw and what they gathered through my blood and my heartbeats and
00:07:45.920
my rhythm and all that good stuff yeah it's time to quit the butts and i haven't had a smoke in
00:07:51.340
in a week it's still there the urge is still there but i know for a fact that if i have one
00:08:02.620
it's just gonna linger and stick around and i'm just gonna have more and more and more
00:08:11.020
and then i'll end up smoking again and then what
00:08:13.300
yeah sorry a little interruption there ladies and gentlemen but uh i don't want to keep dwelling on
00:08:21.000
it you know i'm guilty of smoking all the cigarettes and it almost cost me my life
00:08:25.040
um so i will not be doing that for a while ever again i think now um i barely drink too so alcohol
00:08:35.840
has never been a problem it was going to be a problem back at one time but i curbed that pretty
00:08:40.200
quick but now i quit the cigarettes so and um if you're not sure about what's happening right now
00:08:49.660
in your life um just keep in mind that you should quit i'm not going to tell you to quit
00:08:58.580
or not to quit that's up to you as an individual i respect individuals decisions and their rights
00:09:04.020
to pursue and believe what they want however um it's worth it especially you got a wife at home
00:09:14.360
you got kids at home you got a loved one you know and considering how much it costs right now too
00:09:19.540
like you're looking at where I live, just under 20 bucks a pack.
00:09:29.660
And of course the government gets at least two thirds of it.

seeing my pod bean stats and i'm seeing quite a few europeans uh downloading my show so thank you
00:10:37.900
very much to europe thank you france and spain and italy uh netherlands have downloaded a few
00:10:44.540
episodes i'm seeing a lot of uh germans actually watch my show so danke shame my german friends
00:10:52.160
and uh i'll do my best to keep more episodes up in a timely manner too like i said a big wake-up
00:10:59.160
call big wake-up call coming here anyway so like the title i said about bad television now i've
00:11:06.760
been hearing a lot of rumblings i haven't prepped any videos or anything um for for this particular
00:11:12.800
episode i just wanted to get this off my chest in regards to my filthy disgusting habit that
00:11:17.480
almost killed me but uh every time i turn on the tube they're always talking about the new star
00:11:24.320
Trek show, Starfleet Academy. Now, I actually try to watch a good 10 minutes of it.
00:11:38.380
Sorry about that. I had a little microphone issue here. I'm going to go along with the critics and
00:11:44.280
agree with most of them. You know, Nerdtronic, critical drinker. It's garbage. It's garbage
00:11:50.340
trek as far as i'm concerned and regards to how you personally feel about woke isms and how you
00:11:55.060
personally feel about uh diversity and all this too trek always always had the diversity star
00:12:00.700
trek always had its diverse issues and they dealt with them very well all the way from the original
00:12:07.220
series to the animated series to the motion pictures to the next generation to ds9 to voyager
00:12:14.080
even enterprise and even strange new worlds had its issues too i don't mind strange new worlds
00:12:20.800
but i wasn't a big fan of discovery because i think they try too hard to push the agenda
00:12:26.080
and every other trick thereafter they pushed agendas now i want to watch a good tv show
00:12:32.360
the idea is to escape from the mundane escape from your lives not saying put everything down
00:12:39.940
for one tv show or quit doing something for a tv show i mean just to escape just to be entertained
00:12:46.460
kind of like what we had in the 80s right when miami vice was on the air people left
00:12:51.080
their lives for an hour on a friday night to watch a good cop show
00:12:55.320
or you know saturday morning kids cartoons that kind of thing right we all remember that
00:13:02.160
but in the same sense you know um well it's i'm just not impressed with a lot of television right
00:13:11.580
now now my wife and i we've been binge watching uh some of the netflix stuff there too um luckily
00:13:18.000
we could afford the crave channel so they got some pretty good horror movies on there too and
00:13:21.600
we look for shows to watch personally i'm a big fan now of a lot of the taylor sheridan stuff i
00:13:34.360
And I think Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell did a fantastic job
00:13:38.120
playing the patriarch and matriarch of this well-to-do family
00:13:44.760
and the adjustment that the whole family has to do
00:13:48.800
because the father laid it out for him in a few ways.
00:13:56.200
But when I look at my beloved Trek, when I look at the science fiction that I grew up with and grew to love and grew to embrace, it's almost like the people that are in charge of these franchises are intentionally trying to screw with our heroes.
00:14:14.960
Now, I've said before, I'm an aspiring screenwriter.
00:14:18.180
so with this time off that i have my revelations and my brush with death
00:14:25.600
i intend to write some more i have a series in the works that a few people in my circle know about
00:14:32.820
i have some science fiction ideas in the works too i have some story outlines laid out i just
00:14:39.280
got to sit and type it with my software so hopefully in the near future i will get some
00:14:45.020
recognition for that as well as not just the podcast ladies and gentlemen but if we're going
00:14:52.820
to want to watch good television we're going to need regular people to write it and create it
00:14:56.780
right because i'm finding the entertainment industry as much like politics it's a bureaucracy
00:15:01.660
and there's 10 people who do minimal work and they demand to get paid and there's like 20 people who
00:15:08.100
say this and say that and they want the big bucks we actually got the writer and the director that
00:15:13.920
put this shit together to put together a great story for you right and my overall goal with my
00:15:23.220
writing is to do that for you people people who want to watch a good drama or people want to watch
00:15:28.760
good science fiction or people want to see a good fucking old-fashioned creature feature right or
00:15:35.000
something off the wall or a short film we got to get rid of these agendas okay and this whole idea
00:15:42.340
everything has to be represented a certain way is bullshit you've got to be true to the story
00:15:47.880
in the source material like every gifted writer that i've met throughout the years has said right
00:15:54.700
what you know okay don't write something you know and then be told later on oh we need to represent
00:16:01.520
this you represent that no you represent your story you put the art out there and let the world
00:16:08.320
this side right and unfortunately the corporate models that we're dealt with today a lot of the
00:16:15.980
bigger studios and the bigger channels are still hanging on to the woke bs and for what
00:16:22.480
for what extra money you see what they did the snow white terrible right you see what they did
00:16:29.480
some of our favorite shows the reboots and the redos you know they want to make remake highlander
00:16:50.920
not on the standards that these studios would say.
00:16:56.660

00:17:55.720
something that would be really great i'd really appreciate thank you but uh in the meantime i'll
00:18:00.500
with this episode so the ndp um nominated avi lewis now i remember him from city tv and cbc
00:18:07.620
he was a broadcaster uh journalist did some documentary stuff there when he was with city tv
00:18:14.180
back in the day his old man was quite the human rights advocate uh quite the ndp leader himself
00:18:21.460
um but his old man was cut from a different cloth okay now avi lewis he likes to promote
00:18:29.380
the whole fact of more public interest when it comes to grocery stores and our way of life so
00:18:36.080
basically he's a i guess you can say a champagne socialist he's never had to fight for anything in
00:18:41.860
his life he's never understood poverty he's never understood real turmoil he wants to publicize
00:18:49.460
everything at the government expense which is more or less our expense now they also if you
00:18:55.200
a look online you can see what they had at the ndp convention there when it comes to points of
00:19:00.180
privilege and cards and feelings and who identifies as what and i'm thinking it doesn't matter where
00:19:08.080
you sit in the political spectrum you are supposed to be there in a parliamentary democracy
00:19:14.120
i'm a parliamentary democracy uh constitutional monarchy you still represent your riding and if
00:19:21.500
you're at these meetings and you're holding up a card of privilege because you represent a certain
00:19:26.180
group you're not representing your riding you're representing your ideology which is lethal okay
00:19:32.840
can we not have parties in this country that represent writings as they should rather than
00:19:39.120
ideologies okay i just i'm not going to download it for you ladies and gentlemen i'm not going to
00:19:48.000
tell you to suck eggs here, okay? But every time we turn around, there's always a handful of
00:19:53.340
politicians and groups, tribes, I guess you can call them, that have to represent the ideology
00:19:59.040
of things, the identities of things, and the pronouns, and what they go by, and how they
00:20:03.340
identify. Oh, get over it, right? And if anybody out there who wants to support the national NDP
00:20:14.360
and agrees with what they saw when it come to the convention
00:20:29.220
I would really like to know how you really feel about things.
00:20:35.160
If you represent a certain writing and you spend more time
00:20:37.760
at these meetings worrying about how you're addressed,
00:20:42.180
hmm that's my logic i remember when the ndp actually had some balls you know you had males
00:20:49.540
and females no one cared about who was gay no one cared about who was black no one cared about who
00:20:54.900
was asian people cared about standing up to the scruples and the morals of what the party promoted
00:21:01.180
okay they stood up for blue collar people they stood up for working class people
00:21:09.520
i don't think so because they want to make everything public they want government-run
00:21:20.720
grocery stores how'd that work in russia back in the day how'd that work in north korea
00:21:28.340
how has that worked in any socialist country that we can speak of right now
00:21:33.840
venezuela cuba not too fucking likely and considering this country is in debt to the
00:21:42.580
wahoo do you really think the ndp has got what it takes to run a grocery store no of course not
00:21:49.080
but i'll just leave it that ladies and gentlemen and yeah i am not going to beat a dead horse
00:21:53.260
with this crap anymore i just want to let you my wonderful audience know what was going on
00:21:58.300
keep using the loop i am fine uh next week i have an appointment with my doctor uh to get some
00:22:05.940
issues sorted out with benefits what have you because i will be unemployed i cannot legally
00:22:10.840
well under doctor's orders i cannot go to my job or any job for the next month so i'll be having a
00:22:18.180
lot of time off and i can't drive either i can't drive my truck for at least another week and a
00:22:24.020
half. So there'll be a lot of days where I'll be hanging out here at home, playing with my dog,
00:22:30.360
doing some chores around the house at a decent pace, mind you. And I'll be creative. So that
00:22:36.500
means there'll be more episodes up for you, my wonderful audience, more opportunities up there
00:22:40.700
for myself to get my words out there, to get my art out there per se. And I'll just be doing better.
00:22:50.620
i got a better diet plan in the works i've got an exercise routine in the works
00:22:54.740
so you know hopefully by this time next year i will be a lot slimmer a little meaner
00:23:00.980
but just as funny and just as realistic too ladies and gentlemen that's all i have for you
