Love to be the world's most gullible dickrider and clock in at the credible dipshit factory. The job pays $5M per year and you don't have to actually do anything

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

Elon really threw some bold predictions into our conversation. An economy 10x its size in 10 years, a moon base, people on Mars, mass drivers in orbit. 
What a time to be alive!

To conclude the Richard Riot series and the Hockey Guys series, we watch the 2005 Maurice Richard biopic "The Rocket"...featuring a notable cameo from Sean Avery.

After a bleak ending to Part 3, we cleanse the palate with: what if @dril was a professional athlete tweeting under his own name? And got a lucrative media career out of it? And that's what leads us to our final Hockey Guy of the series: @BizNasty2point0

A heads up: I uploaded the wrong audio file initially to the public feed for newest CIAS (#18.3); it should be fixed now. If you already downloaded this episode, you may need to re-download it. It should be 1h 16m long, not 57m.

Fresh on the heels of the worst-landed bit of all time, we explore the fallout from this incident, as well as the rest of Sean Avery's career. Then we get into his post-retirement activities...including his legal troubles.

New CIAS! In the first full, proper episode of this series at the intersection of hockey guys/bad vibes/questionable decisions, Nicole finally gets to discover who Sean Avery is—and why she's being forced to learn about him.

Some fireworks at Romana Didulo's compound today as RCMP moved in to do an inspection. The owner of the property tried to physically stop them and was met with force.

I've been told the dispute is over water usage.

For those who don't know, Cree is a language continuum spanning much of Canada, and the Plains and Bush variants cover most of Alberta. This is just a small slice of the language situation in the country...If you are a teacher of any native Canadian languages, please reach out!

[Ron-Funchable Token @L_Ron_Musk]

We fast-forward or talk over much of the filler, to cover important topics like: how the Canadian "Reform Party" prefigured the UK "Reform Party," the insidious gender politics of figure skates, and the obnoxious radio contest that plagued Edmonton in the late '90s & early '00s.

[Canuck is a Slur Podcast @CanuckIsASlur]

Cree teacher Lisa is on the show to talk Plains Cree! Including the forces that have tried to put native languages down, the ones that've been trying to lift them up, and: we learn how to say "dick."

For those unaware: Tommy Douglas headed up the first democratic-socialist government ever elected in North America, was the person most responsible to bringing public healthcare to Canada, and created a ton of other public services...all while delivering absolute banger speeches.

[Canuck is a Slur Podcast @CanuckIsASlur]

New ep! Tam and Cari from "Shawinigan Moments" cover Strombo's pitch for Tommy Douglas as Greatest Canadian.

Included: Tommy's quest to bring us healthcare, force-femming Hitler, and Ilya Bryzgalov.
