Its f***ing 8am on a sunday morning I haven't slept yet and I gotta be up for work at 3pm latest....I just wanna say before I even hear the podcast thanks for not being lazy schleps and using christmas as a means to not do work. Also thanks for giving me a solid listenable show for my mundane awful supermarket job.

Forever fan---correction forever BlackFan of jivin and "the"ct show

I downloaded this through my subscription fine, but for some reason its not showing up in the actual itunes store. I suppose I can do some investigation tonight, but from all appearances this is an itunes issue.

Don't know if this is actually impacting anyone, but I thought i'd mention it in case anyone goes into the itunes store and downloads it that way.

Jivin......Batman doesn't put a fuckin humpty dumpty(the classic rapper)nose on and cheap eyeliner. He looks like a totally different person,to the other people in the comic atleast.its professional make up the shit of movies Jiv.

And the reason he goes all dark and gravely with the voice is beacause batman's entire deal is fear. He gets his enemies scared to fight him. That's half the battle. If u saw a 6'5" chizzled man in a bat suit stalking toward u even though u had a gun in your hand u'd shit yourself.

Jivin please read batman you have no clue what you're missing.

Those old batman movies wrecked my childhood.....as did street fighter the movie.......I hate hollywood......

Great show boys. I'm an accountant in Calgary, where all the oil company head quarters are based. I don't work for them but I unlike the other Canadian who thinks that Fort McMurray is the 'Paris of the North' I read newspapers and understand long term consequences. I took some headlines from a national newspaper to back up my claims with facts, outlining the overheated economy at Fort McMurray and environmental damage caused by the oil sands. I found out that they even discriminate against blind women! Fucking animals.

haha well that was the best segment (right around the 25 minute mar for those of you who missed it).

However the part about the kid dying was the second best part.

Also I can't remember if it was this week or last that you guys talked about sweeny todd. I have heard from a lot of people it was really good and really bloody. I will be seeing it tomorrow so I hope its good :)

Last week. They were dodging it because it was a musical.

Last week. They were dodging it because it was a musical.

I saw the movie last night, and I would recommend seeing it, even though it is a musical. It was a really great movie. Very very well done, and a large portion of the movie is not sung, so don't that it keep you away.

Plus it is EXTREMELY bloody, so if you don't like blood than too bad :)

[chungui]

:wub: Dont look at my butthole!!

[Dan 'Hampton]

That movie (from the clips) seems like "rhymy" singing. The worst of all.

I HATE HATE HATE message boards. I'd rather be circumsized in Yankee stadium than have to be part of these. no offence to those who are into it, I'm just not a big fan. Now I read Debits little news stories. Now Debit you are probably a great person. nothing I'm saying here pertains to your personal life in any way. But you douche bags in Calgary are the cause for most of that shit. Your in accounting so I doubt you have anything to do with planning. But everyone in Calgary in those offices need to get up here more often. You guys build a lease for a fuckin rig and we can barely move the fuckin thing and you guys in your offices say "Oh its big enough" mean while peopel are getting hurt and fuckin killed in some cases because of such tight congested areas. your bringing up stories of the disabled woman not getting a ride cause her dog was with her. What does that have to do with anything? A lot of that stuff. You say how rent is $1100 well think about it bonehead. Most of these people make 6 if not 7 figures a year. THEY CAN AFFORD IT!!!! Your talking about that accident. Well Believe it or not, its a lot warmer in Calgary usually. And when its 40 below here and it just snowed a foot, yeah accidents are bound to happen. And its the idiot that passes you flying liek a bat out of hell who causes most of these accidents, not the hard working father of 3 who is using his head to get home to see his wife and kids. Debit you piss me off. I guess New york if full of a bunch of dicks and murderers and racists and thats all it is, nothing good is in new york cause theirs always murders there and peopel getting beat and shit. So yeah I guess new york is a shit hole. Stay in your fuckin office and shut your mouth until you get out in the field and see how much every single person out there hates you dicks who are making an immense amount of money to make all these safety rules and stupid shit. Why don't you tell them about how When we are moving a rig, we don't go over 5 km/h at all. if you hit somethign you wouldn;t even feel it, and we are in and out of the truck 400 times a day and you dicks in the offices said "hey, lets make it mandatory for them to wear their seat belts on the lease" How about you tell them How you guys are fighting with every other company on who takes care of these lease roads and how they are in shit shape and are the reason for a lot of people in the ditch. How about the politics that takes place? Nothing is common sense with you air heads, you look at the book and go "derrr it says I get a gold star" you fuckin idiots. Again your personal life you could be the best person in the world, but just like when Telus pisses me off I'll tell you the same thing I tell them, By workign for that company, your choosing to represent them. And you want to make it sound liek us in the field make it the way it is? Look how pissed I got when you said your in Calgary offices. And you wonder why we drink, and fuckin use the fuckin word FUCK SO FUCKIN MUCH! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

PEACE

I wanted to add more here. The things Debit says about how it affects the environment is true. On the cold lake air weapons range, the building of pipelines have had a problem with the migration of caribu and their is the problem of run off into rivers and such. and liek I said in the one email, when you roll into Fort Mac its a thick cloud of smog and the air is disgusting. only been there once and its not a nice place for what you pay, but like I said, you make enough money and if you don't, you can go to numerous places in the province and find more than affordable housing or rent. But I could pull up 15 news stories about any city and make someone believe thats how it is all over. its not. Debit your still a douche. Not personally but in the business sense :P

Trevor, a couple of things

1. Accounting is not for the weak, so let's get that out of the way
2. I was trying to educate CT and Jivin as to the oil sands in a humorous way. I am sure they know nothing about that and most Americans no nothing about the outside world unless they are invading that country. 75% of Americans couldn't locate Afganistan on a map or name the capital or name the leader of the country. I was in the States on business and I mentioned I was from Canada and some lady I was sitting beside asked if I knew Tim from Toronto. Stupid broad!
3. If you have a problem with safety call Worker's Compensation or I don't know, quit and work some place safer. Take resposibility for your own life. You sound like you are ready to go postal. If not at least invest your money so you aren't broke when you are to old to work there.
4. What have I got to do with the 'suits' in Calgary? Maybe if you tried in school you could be one of them and make a difference.
5. I agree that Telus (the phone company) are dicks.
