Thomas is an immigrant from Florida and he’s starting to ring the bell about Danielle Smith’s authoritarian tendencies and how they are starting to scare a lot of people in the beautiful Province of Alberta. Thomas talks about Pierre Poilievre and gives a pretty damning explanation of the Top Secret clearance background check Pierre is trying desperately to avoid. Thomas says Pierre doesn’t pass the daughter test and talked about Pierre being ne of the reasons why he won’t be voting for Pierre even as a (former) conservative Deputy Premier. Dean and Thomas dug into foreign interference including the India BS. It’s kind of a shocking show to be honest. There were some bombs in that Podcast and Thomas has some spine. That’s his former party and he swings in the same circles as a lot of these guys and calls he basically called pathological and how he wouldn’t trust either Smith or Poilievre isn’t compromised. Pierre Especially. I’m sure this will piss some people off. Enjoy.   Hosted on Acast.

Troy Westwood is a CFL legend and an all-around good human being who spent years following and studying Donald Trump after a four-year Christian university football career.He totally hates Trump and can see the fascist writing on the wall as a pos WW2 baby, and we got INTO what he sees coming out of America causing a disease in Canada. We talked about athletes like Theo Fleury taking their conspiracy weirdness to new levels and why pro athletes have no problem saying the quiet weird parts out loud anymore. We got into Freedom of speech, not including hate, and what politics and Media have to do to remove the dangerous extremes from Canadian society and if our institutions are ready to do it. Can the Left get rid of the extreme left? Can the right do the same? We also discussed the Banjo Bowl, whether Troy is allowed in Saskatchewan, and whether he still thinks inbreds live there.

It's a different show today. Douglas Connors and Paul Atikins from the TrueNorthEagerBeaver stopped by to talk about the pandemic of sick, angry men who never speak about their mental health.What's driving the pandemic of depression and anxiety in Men? What does the societal change in hierarchy mean to men whose expectations don't match their (new) reality?Suicide and ideations for men between the ages of 24-54 are at an all-time high. Why?The roles of men and how they have changed and the role "loss" plays in depressive episodes. Where our values change and the confusion, PTSD from unmet expectations or a forced change.We are reconciling unfair—the responsibility of self and moving away from victim thinking.We're all unwell to some extent, but we never stop to talk about it with other men. Vulnerability creates better communities while helping us realize that we are normal and not alone.Dean, Loch, Douglas, and Paul all have had significant role changes and losses forced upon them in the past 5-10 years. Life-changing consequences are underserved or unfair, but they don't mean you've failed. But it does mean you have to talk to someone when that perception of failure is like an anvil tied to your ankle. It was a great conversation about resilience, vulnerability, and personal responsibility between four men who want to help other men by sharing their experiences.

It's pretty corrupt if you read the recent #NSICOP report that alleges foreign governments pay TRADITIONAL Media outlets, MPs, Senators, and politicians at all levels to work against Canadian interests. The Report detailed allegations that DOZENS of Canadian lawmakers and parliamentarians are "wittingly" working with foreign countries, agents, and lobby groups to undermine Canada's national security and identity. The governing Liberals and The Conservative Party continue to stay Mum on possible members who work for other governments, but we know it's very fucking real. The RCMP have announced an official criminal investigation into DOZENS of elected and appointed officials from the Liberal and COPnservative parties AS WELL ASS an investigation into several "Traditional Media Outlets" who are alleged to have killed, promoted, or deleted stories paid for by India, China, Iran, and Russia. Former media executive Wendy Grey stopped by to discuss this.- Is this the nail in the coffin regarding Trust in ANY Traditional Canadian media outlet?- What do the RCMP investigations say about the seriousness of the conspiracy and possible crimes committed by Canadian politicians and media institutions? - What is NSICOP, and what do the allegations of foreign interference mean for Trust in Media and Politics in Canada?We all knew our political and media institutions were corrupted by foreign money, but does confirmation of what we knew mean anything? Will Canadians take action or retreat into our cultural corners to give Elites and bad actors a pass?- Who the allegations might be directed at and why the Report Didn't "Name Names."- Trust in media stats and the nuclear implication of confirming/destroying our biases. - The Opportunity to turn this culture war into a class war we should all be fighting.We talked about CheeseBoutiques Father's Day Box O'Meat and how you can be a hero to your Dad with one click.https://www.cheeseboutique.com/products/fathers-day-kitWe also invited everyone to The Ardent Roof Systems golf tournament on July 5th, which is in support of Stollery Children's Hospital.

We're back and so is Trudeau with sweet, sweet, sweet vaccines!JT announced he's giving money to his friends at Sonofi to make billions of COVID vaccines just in case, you know, "IT" happens again. Dean and Loc talk about whether or not Trudeau's vaccine funding announcement was meant to troll anti-science dickheads OR if he actually meant it. I mean, this is the kind of announcement that makes hillbillies who hate objective reality, INSANE.Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to take Dr. Anthony Fauci to the woodshed in the GOP's fake QAnon/COVID hearing in Washington DC yesterday. It might have been the funniest shit Dean's ever seen. Marj was talking about dogs and scientism and refused to call one of the most celebrated medical professionals on the planet "Not a science doctor." LOLZ. You have to watch it. Jesus. In the words of Bradley Cooper in The Hangover, "it was like watching Tyson fight a baby." Pure Comedy. The Oilers are BACK in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Canada's team celebrated their WCF win with a Party at McDavid's house, and McDavid got his own beer for his own party. The video evidence of him getting mobbed and hugged by fans who ALSO get their own beer at "Liqurville" is proof positive that Connor McDavid is every man's superstar. Hosted on Acast.

We're back, and what a weekend!!The Oilers booked a spot in the Stanley Cup Finals, Donald Trump spent his first weekend as a felon stealing from MAGA fucks, and Alex Jones LOST it on Camera because he's broke AF and can't take it anymore...BWAHAHAHAHAH!!It's easy for Dean to see who the marks are. The grandfathers of the MAGA / Conspiracy / Grift age, Alex Jones and Donald Trump, had very bad weekends. Jones went ham on InfoWars about how hard life is now that Connecticut State Officials are starting to take his shit. Last week, they seized several homes and a couple of bank accounts. This week, they're knocking on the door of his InfoWars studio, where he farms that sweet, sweet bullshit. Trump's broke, too. So he fleeced $60 MILLION from MAGATS in his "I'm a political Prisoner/I'm a convicted Felon!" fundraiser this weekend. He's using it to pay E Jean Carrol because grifters always have a lawsuit behind them. They bounce one to fundraise for the other! We also paid tribute to Loc's stepfather, who passed away, leaving Loc's mom a storage locker full of medieval larping costumes and expensive swords. RIP, Sir Karl. RIP. Hosted on Acast.

We're back and talking Trump, Fried Egg Chips, and a Charity Golf Tournament for Stollery Children's Hospital with our friends @ www.ardentroofsystems.com Devin Henes from ABCsupply drops by to talk about mustaches and why he became a title sponsor for the Ardent Roof Systems Golf Tournament. It's about the kids. Dean waxes about Fried Egg flavored potato chips when he's eating clean; he thinks there is a food conspiracy against him. Maybe he's old.Speaking of OLD, 77-year-old Donald J Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business documents. The boys discussed the MAGA reaction and how Trump made 58 Million with a new "Political Prisoner" fundraiser immediately after his conviction money laundering). ALL the rich MAGATS are complaining today, too. Everyone from doorknob Kevin O'Leary to Jeff Bezos is complaining that rich people do this all the time, so they call this political. LOL. We discuss Trump's new life as a convicted felon and what he's allowed and not allowed to do as a convicted criminal. We also played 2:30 seconds of pure crazy during a press conference at the Trump Hotel. He's the biggest pussy on the planet, and NOW, the empower has no clothes. Hosted on Acast.

We started by discussing how much everyone hates meetings today. Why? Because they're all boring. Radio had more meetings than security councils, and Dean and Loc discussed why neither would ever be prime minister. It's the meetings.We then talked about massive recalls in the automotive industry. Nissan says their cars are exploding, and every Tesla Cybertruck has been recalled. This bothers Dean because he has a confession to make. He drives a Tesla and hopes the Cybertruck doesn't fuck over the company, even though he's been wishing leprosy on Elon Musk for some time. Lochlin then told a story about Western Canada's car of choice, the Chrysler PT Cruiser, which is still on the road 20 years after Chrysler ended production of the world's ugliest vehicle. We ended with Lochlin being paranoid about a couple of Chinese kids taking pictures in his neighborhood. Dean explains while Loch loses his mind. Hosted on Acast.

From a radio host to a Yoga Instructor, Lochlin is living proof that you can start again anytime and anywhere.We pivot to the Trump trial's closing arguments and Robert DeNiro eviscerating Trump outside a New York courtroom today. If you missed it, we played the video of DeNiro going complete NY on some MAGAts today. Trump's catch-and-kill/hush-money trial is an excellent example of a corrupt media landscape in the US and Canada. David Pecker calmly detailing the cottage industry of "catch and kill" for elites. Canada is no different. Plenty of MSM organizations accept paid-for articles from lobbyists, and crisis management companies like NaviNavigatoro were paid a tidy sum to destroy people like Dean (Navigator hired by Dean's former employer to portray him as a homophobe by his former employer. How to Catch and Kill, or the Crisis reputation management game works will blow your mind.

We're back, and Lochlin brought a friend who cosigns Lochlin's UFO sighting in Joshua Tree. It looks like we have ourselves A SECOND SIGHTING!!!Andrew Vetter is Lochlin's new best friend. He details the incredible SECOND encounter his friends had with the same experience with a twist - the UFO came way closer to the Yoga group this time, and it happened simultaneously with a Dream Lochlin had where Alien balls tried to bring him up to the mothership. Andrew details the entire encounter - 90 seconds - how peaceful he felt and the answers he thought he got about not being alone. Lochlin is fired up, too. He thinks he wants to pivot away from doing radio into being a full-time UFO guy. with business cards and shit. He also believes he is an alien portal. COOOOOOOL.Do you think we're alone in the universe??With all this talk of alien invasions and the possibility of a third world war over woke/unwoke Religion versus the secular world, England and France are mulling mandatory military service for citizens between the ages of 18 and 24. They aren't alone. Both major parties in Canada have been discussing introducing some incentivized or "mandatory" military service. How do you think Canadians would react to the idea of mandatory service in our military? Do we have to buy our green tracksuits and guns? Who gets to drive our only submarine? Hosted on Acast.

Welcome Back!We're SO happy you are here! Dean's starts Salty because people suck, and he's sick of microphones. He might quit altogether. However, MOOSE, the poorly educated Albertan is back and he's worried about the worldwide pedos and gay guys banging in farmers fields and says we need o take back Canada from...yeah. Moose was our springboard into the dumbest group of men and women roaming Canada. The "Freemen" Who are they?What do they do?Why do they think the laws of a country don't apply to them? Loc then pivoted to his Alien encounter two weeks ago. We have an update: It sure sounds like Lochlin was visited by these same aliens who teabagged him with two Alien balls, and now he thinks he's an alien portal—and I'm not kidding. Come for the Anger. Stay for the Alien story that shook Lochlin to his CORE!(He just had a dream - he's not an alien portal even though he thinks he is) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Laura is back and she is awesome.The host of "The O-Show" keeps an eye on bad actors in politics in Canada and has no bias other than FOR the people. We covered:-How she stays married to the love of her life- Dealing with resentment- The Resentment/Victim chic crowd that is the extreme left and right- Fascist disease spreading to Canada- The talking points or "marks" of any group or cult that's bad for you. - The Loblaws boycott is now endemic. Who's losing and why? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back!The Oilers did it! Lochlin is extra happy today because the Oilers beat the Canucks in game seven to advance to the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Stars.We talked about the impact coaching had on the series.Will the rest of Canada get behind the Oilers because they’re the last Canadian team standing? Flames fans?Speaking of fans how about Liz the Blue Jays fan that took a line drive off her face and decided to post it on Twitter instead of suing the Blue Jays? You have to see this woman’s face!We finished with a conversation about weed specifically old people and weed. It seems a lot of people over the age of 65 are showing up to ERs after greening out. They’re discovering weeds incredible advantages, including sleep and libido at old folks homes across this country and they are going off.Dean shares his story about how cannabis helped save his life, and Lochlin talks about a dump he had 3 months ago. Another gem of a show! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to your Saturday! Men suck with instructions. We skip almost every step because we're knobs. Loc's wife has been forcing his "handyman" hand for years because he never reads instructions, and he thinks his wife is trying to kill him. He might be right. You decide. We pivot to women being better planners, which is why 70% of women have thought about killing their spouse. Only 6 percent of men. Maybe he's right...We talked about the Oilers facing elimination and how teams like The Leafs and Oilers probably hate teams like Vancouver, who come out of nowhere to play spoilers to a 10-year rebuild. Lochlin is the boycott king. He just transferred his 15-year boycott of paying for Oilers tickets to the Loblaws boycott. He turns down free tickets because he's that hard. We talked about the Galen Weston Jr/Loblaws group of companies boycott, and it's working. Weston companies (Shoppers/Loblaws, etc.) are taking it in the mouth after gouging Canadians for years, and they decided to sign a grocery code of conduct. Which is also bullshit. We explain and Lochlin REALLY doesn't want people shopping at Loblaws. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

onald Smith is "interesting." Donald has pretty severe autism and multiple disabilities. He's been a fixture on the protest circuit, and because of his disabilities, he has impulse control issues. He's been arrested several times, Jailed, harassed, doxxed, told to kill himself, called a pedophile, groomer, etc. The Truth? Donald is an autistic man in his 40s who's been bullied to the point of suicide by the "woke" left and members of Canada's self-styled "ANTIFA mob" who have spent the better part of the last three years trying to get Donald to kill himself. While being forced into using food banks and soup kitchens, every time Donald tries to get his life on track, someone from the loving extreme left doxxes him, harasses his place of work, or posts pictures of him on lamp posts suggesting he's a dangerous nazi or hurts people. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We get to know Donald and how hard his life has been, who's been harassing him, and how Deana Sherif, now in jail for violent crimes, and Joe Morin went to great lengths to knowingly use a man with severe disabilities as a punching bag for their Extreme Left group of fucking LARPERS who beat people with rainbow flags. Caryma was the only person to befriend him (she's superhuman that way), and his story is incredible. If you think The Extreme Left is here to help or those scarf-wearing pussies with ANTIFA are here to help society heal, think again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Laura Babcock joins us today from the O show.Has been a tireless warrior for Ontario’s homeless and disabled contingency.Laura is also an absolute legend in political PR in journalism circles.Laura joined Dean today to talk about Paul’s new author's affinity for white supremacists and a possible drinking problem.We veered into authoritarian talking points being on the rise and how some Canadians would prefer a dictatorship of their choosing specifically if that dictatorship is theocratic and natural.How you can tell someone is authentic versus how you can tell someone’s full of shit.We also veered into the Loblaw strike and how Loblaw employees plan on shopping elsewhere and took a strip off of Tim Horton's new bullshit menu item The Pizza Cracker.Laura from Hamilton home of Tim Hortons. She’s distraught Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back! Lochlin is gone to a yoga retreat, and Jesse Miller, Social Media Expert/Educator, tags in for some severe shit today.Former NHLr Ryan Whitney stepped in it this week when he shared a Meme of the BostonBruin (Bear) "raping" the Leafs Mascot, Carlton the (polar) Bear. -Are SA meme's funny? Does hockey culture have a rape culture issue?What the backlash against one of the biggest brands in North America means to public discourse about comedy in the public square.When jokes have to evolve does that sit in the artena of rights or the arena of good citizenry? ONTARIO Banned cell phone sin Classrooms and Jesse has some thoughts. He's given a series of Ted talks about this subject. As one of North America's leading digital educatiors, he's kinda shocked Ontarians are unaware of an existing cell phone ban in schools from 2019. - Legal liabilities- Will teachers even bother?- What about kids who need their device for a personal EAP- Kids with disabilities?- Ontario COnservative messaging and the collusive data they used to lie to parents about the public response to this bullshit idea- Parent's duty to educate over the schools duty to police- Property rights of a childWe went deep and ended up at "This is bullshit" but Jesse is an expert so he made it sound way more educational and entertaining that I'm making it sound.www.mediatedreality.com@MediatedReality Hosted on Acast.

Transactivist Deana Sherif was arrested for a PILE of terrible things. We've seen a huge uptick in the inability to see violence on the LEFT when it comes to protests and assholes who are trying to drive a societal result. If you've seen the video's of Deana Sherif (Trans/Gaza/Whatever else she decides to protest) beating people with her megaphone. She's been trying to hurt people into being inclusive and loving each other. She's now been arrested for SEVERAL going issues like assaulting a police officer, resiting arrest, assault with a weapon. MMMM. The inclusive left. We got into her charges, Caryma's history and the idea the left is here to save you from the right when they are literally no different.Donald Trump Jr is coming to Toronto and hDean and Caryma are REALLY excited to attend together. Should be a rip! We end with some Leafs hatred and reminder that no-one likes Mitch Marner anymore. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We talked hockey. We talked Trump, and Trump's buddy Pecker. We talked interviewing JT or PeePee and what that would look like. And Loc is gone for a couple of weeks off to find himself in the desert. He's taking his Yoga Teacher Training. Dean thinks he'll pull-the-pin after 4 days.

We're back!We took a minute at the start of the pod to chat with Sasha, Costia, and Addy about being selected for the Red Bull "Can You Make It" Series. Addy almost died a couple of years ago, and her sorry is remarkable. They are making their way across Europe in a Red Bull "Amazing Race" type series, and even though this was Lochlin's guest, he had no idea what was happening, so it was fun. We left the rest of the show open to talk about the ongoing abuse of emotionally and mentally unwell Canadians by Polticians and political parties. Pierre Poilievre continues to do that. This week, the Leader of Canada's bullshit Conservative Party showed up (possibly/probably hammered ass drunk) to a "Fuck Trudeau" protest in Nova Scotia. A collection of people with significant issues who Pierre and the Consrvative Party of Canada continue to gin up with promises of returning all of their rights (they have no idea what fucking day it is) in return for their ongoing protesting. He said they can go home when he wins. That's in 2025. Pierre spent time with white nationalists, and emotionally unwell Larpers who think they are going to save Canada from immigrants who stole their jobs and gay people who make them feel uncomfortable. You know, the "wokes". And how hammered was PeePee? Decide for yourself and enjoy the back half of the podcast, where we unload the clip from his drunk picnic with unemployed asswipes who have never paid taxes and emotionally unwell victims who need years of psychotherapy.

Welcome back, Kids!We eased into the show with a full-on domestic dispute about Media, and Lochlin was NOT happy with Dean. LOLZWe got into a couple of food hacks (PB&J Oatmeal for your asshole) and the magic of COSCTO Rotisserie chickens and a man who takes that Chicken VERY seriously. Leafs, Jets, Oilers, and Canucks all started hot out of the gate for the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Dean is a Leafs fan but wanted to talk about how INSANE the vibe is in Winnipeg. Jets fans are built differently and deserve some National Pub.Winnipeg Arena is a fuckin MADHOUSE. If you've been paying attention to the news in Canada, Umar Zameer's story is one of the biggest in years. We went over the details of his arrest and acquittal, which included the Judge firmly accusing TPS officers and counsel of trying to sell multiple lies to put an innocent man in prison for the rest of his life. If you have any trust issues with police or have ever been wrongly arrested or prosecuted (Like Lochlin for littering in the 10th grade - lol), this story will trigger the shit out of you. Mr Zameer was just acquitted of first-degree murder charges in the miserable death of a Toronto Police Service member, Constable James Northrup. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On the program...Why did Lochlin shoot his best round of golf in the last 4 - 5 years (the greens at The Garrison survived the winter well)? Is it more fun to watch The Leafs win or lose? Dean and Loc are torn on the topic. Dean also thinks everyone should just stop watching Toronto until they make it into the 3rd round. Why everyone needs to start FartWalking and is Trump farting or shitting his pants in court right now.

We're back, and Dean has a story for anyone who decides to drink after quitting. Dean looks at the wellness journey through a lens of moderation and cognitive responsibility and has some notes to share with anyone with a sober history who wants to drink again. Loc and Dean gave some more backstory on the Trudeau government pretending to tax the rich ONLY. Who's getting fucked over by proxy, and what that means for his political future. PM Trudeau's political future looks like it's ending. Warren Kinsella on the Charles Adler podcast leaked that Trudeau's faithful are organizing leadership bids for Domenc Leblanc and Mark Carney. We discuss the relief the country will feel regardless of who we vote for. We also talked about the IBLP Christina cult the Duggar family subscribes to, and Dean wants to remind everyone he's been warning you all about Abrahamic extremism for some time, but NOOOOO, you wouldn't listen.SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/3sFkhGRHRekIO8Rjccgrio?si=e4628c612c684bd5APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-dean-blundell-show/id1444524012DEANTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DeanTUBELOCTUBE: https://youtube.com/@TheLOCKERROOMRIPDEAN STORE: https://deanblundell.square.site/#TheLOCKERROOM STORE: https://tlrmerch.square.siteJoin #TheLOCKERROOM Mailing List by emailing [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
