49:15 | Jespo and Johnny tell a few stories from the Glendale Ladies Member Guest tournament in support of Uncles & Aunts at Large. Real Talker Karen gives us a first hand report of what's slowing residential rebuilds in Jasper (56:00). We check out AOC's fiery rant about Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" (1:06:40), and we revisit Danielle Smith's response to the relaunch of the Progressive Conservative party in Alberta (1:18:00).

1:27:00 | Chantal's pissed off about Airdrie's Canada Day parade, Blahsheep's keen on Danielle Smith's Alberta Sheriffs - TSM feels differently, Les is less than subtle about the UCP, Patrick says we need to pay more attention to Quebec, and Krista has a (hilarious) Fourth of July message for our American neighbours. It's The Flamethrower presented by the DQs of Northwest Edmonton and Sherwood Park!
