Is linked to the dial up? Is by racial american history, part gas, where I did and then a white guy reach a story from american history to his friend guarantor, also has no idea what the topic is going to be about. Also. I got Has airily. We have. We have a special guest our guest. I mean it's weird I started out what I was doing.

you're comedy, there's a guy like loved and and watched when I was starting out number one That's my way of saying I really love is comedy. A number two is a lot older than me. But then I like to work with my Marion, like he directed it, episode that I wrote like really fucking two episodes. I think really awesome, so he's become a friend. Ladies and gentlemen, Bobcat Goldthwait do hi thanks, that's very kind of you. Thank you very much yeah. I think you said you know what we needed to make the show a little more wider, a little older than let's bring out Bob scratch Goldberg. You know I did like the most benign trump joke and- and I got

forty three death threats on Instagram instagram threats was gone. Who likes jump and I was like oh police Academy fan yeah. They love Donald Trump Age, Bobcat used to stand for the law. Here, You're obviously said There was a girl. Doesn't we ate, I tower more than ever voting it would be a bad cholera when divisive yeah did I you know I worked with David and that he's so I really that episode. I did a bunch of episodes of man, but the one that one in particular is my favorite one. It didn't really feature do so. I dunno

could feel about the yellow, the best ones they ve stolen character, the ones a feature me where the best ones I want to say that, because our living does it, I said a fact. I would say that mark doesn't listens, Who gives a shit. Expand fantastic. Just in case you, I'm not going to be directing the Joker to still joking now with that attitude. Bugs grant shitty attitude. I think birdie she looked up and pronouncing these things, That can be said for most of us Eddie pay more

born and Beggar Valley. The Lebanon was an very rich farmlands, hills, lakes and Roman ruins call His father was a muslim mother, a Christian and they moved to bear root when Eddie was very young man, that's if they were to be a sitcom. That would be the lyrics to their interests, How is it, how does the Sancho father was a Muslim. My mother was a Christian. Now they debate route, that's shows about start hand down but that last lyric in there the that one, oh well, that they'll punch it up. Don't worry about that, gets punched up and posts. the post job, but I honestly just with the start. I can't imagine anything bad happening. Nope seems pretty salary up no issues here they can. We actually went.

I don't know this is gone between you and I, but let's go to Beirut. He's got Beirut, decide in Beirut. Eighty became a barber. But he wanted more alive. So a nineteen fifty five he emigrated to Canada, where's sister was already living. Where, where were you guys come in the black face country. Glad you guys did that. So we have something. Do you remember when you know came out of this? Family was hiking, any came out of a cave shirtless. What what

and so he sneezes he could have got out of this whole mess. He could have said I'm the real judo I never put on blackface. I had to kill the evil. Trudeau he's in there. They'll shoot out so when I was twenty five. When I arrived here in Canada, he had seventeen dollars to his name right, but is It must become very rich cherry on yeah new two words which he wrote on a sign. This is, and carried it around sure and an that help them we're not a pronounced the words and the words were me: barber. Ok, so Now you guys Roland. He got so much business from Tarzan,

we need your service. Viable needs are then conversations though they made it so badly needs so he walked around Edmonton until someone gave him a barber job. So some again a proper job brought Barbara job. I very shy and gave an hour you with finances are never mind. He was a very hard worker. He had a lot of energy and he as soon after awhile opened his own barbershop me Barbara. The barbershop! Meanwhile, remember me by we're having cut here before and could even someone that was transitioning me. Well, it was called for Hay moors full hey Moors, lessening, hey more ok, sure so so he it was successful.

But a home, he more here to see open, hair salon open a style of school schools in both Calgary Emmett and so is killing and he's a few other words in those other word right: ok, otherwise, you harbour franchise. That's it that's enough. he walked through the sign, a sign that said franchise people like alright, okay yeah. What is it the upstart me Baba franchise? so he's living the dream right, Eddie, he's very charismatic, is very charming is very good. Looking he married a canadian woman Lorien, who was nineteen years old, raised on a farm in Alberta. They would go on to have four kids okay, so they like fuckin me finish inside me come on phase

made pigs two's enough appeal again. You should I think if he, if he came, he went to me barber get off. Get off me. Get off of me, get the fuck off! I'm a. so out of four kids, like I said any became canadian citizen in nineteen sixty he was so excited and he threw a giant lavish Middle Eastern theme party. Well, two hundred and fifty people attended. There were ballet dancers. The image and mayor came the lieutenant governor was there that he wore a white tie. so the boat tie, the Provincials secretary toasted, him quote, I can assure Eddie he will never be disappointed with Canada,

I feel like that's foreshadowing. When is a brown for a person with brown skin ever been disappointed in Canada. Well, we've been talking a little bit about it on this show so Eddie said quote: it was the best day of My life, but all of us a fall. Yes, apart at the wheel, is there about the very day of my life? They never say that yeah gear shift now for Dave to go, but a few years. The marriage was a few years. The marriage was going, great, Eddie was successful and he worked. constantly in this put a strain on the march a late night sixties. They separated Eddie response. by kidnapping the children get smart. Now that makes sense. That's what you do, yeah! That's how you do it.

I must admit, I mean it's not like traditional kidnapping. It's not like that. they didn't like any leaving higher varnish shall have now making a Michael Jordan Joke, but is that like? Can you described? Kidnapper, Yad death, no Adele? kidnapping as one that just kind of like slowly dawns on you again ride you like it's like they shouldn't three days, dad's crying a lot more than usual. Why we in Michigan we're not? so we're not going to Disneyland. But it's not a kidnapping. Why cutting letters that of a magazine? Don't worry, guys leave your mom just getting an m e, a couple bees and an hour and another our enemy. My classic sign off me. sorry Nancy. I took the kids me. Barber Eddie me

there's suddenly quote. We all thought we were going to totally like how awesome I gotta go: rafting Calonna, we're going to Cologne over the day, but We were soon on a plane to Lebanon. Oh my guide wow this is very different is the flight to Kalulu dead like a day, Eddie, but when they got eleven on job, the kids off at a private boarding school and then went travelling around the Middle EAST. What kind of move as this he had a perfect get equal could get she wanted to divorce. He could go do this, but in studies like no it's the principal yeah me. If you don't want him, neither of us get em. someone's going to learn a lesson here for people,

Eddie said he was travelling to quote, establish a network of political connections in the lebanese parliament. Here we can let the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Jordanian Palace appeal, o lebanese parliament, king. It took me sure the trifecta empty It is often said he was a descendant of the hay more dynasty that rule the Yemen three thousand years ago. all that shit, all the thirty five successive. In queens. No one can verify it but Eddie was true quote this narrative and filters every story about himself through his imagined bloodline or I should say all almost every quote is from Omar a movement

move em, who wrote an article for eighteen, bridges, dot, com, barely Argentina. Every sign me. king. It did this. Could you argue their care wants its? In writing. So soon returned home with the kids, because Loreen Loreen was like ok, we'll go get back, when new kidnaps, your children to take some do another nation. You like Al Hale, Mary, this so they're gonna, give it they're gonna give it another shot shot he, but he decide they knew that change so in nineteen. Seventy Eddie moved to the command Valley and British Columbia. It's near here right, well everything's, That is very true.

Nice work David, it's ok, Mr Geography I don't know much, but I know when it's blue. area was beautiful, reminded him of where he was born. The Bekaa Valley in Lebanon is also a very conservative place in nineteen. Seventy, the Claude. I have about nineteen thousand people and a rich Lebanese do The dude with a big personality, stood out a little bit sure he's still in the White tux right yeah it has to here. So he was happy living nearby peach, lend which was near repealing people and people other peaches there. There really are peaches. we're gonna, be real goal, should have their word of it.

You can dream, can it. So everything moves low impeach than the speed limit can get as low as thirty kilometers and our on higher ninety seven I know it. I know we and let's just translates to me five miles an hour. I think it's five hundred fifty miles an hour anyone listening that the conversion and then He really stood out besides is being lebanese guy? He built his dream house on a rocky ridge, TAT overlooked the lake. The house was massive towered over everything at seven bedrooms, three living rooms to elevators. What one goes down on goes up. What are you just got one up after a year or Lord

This is due to come a long way from the meat barbarous to elevators, and it was not Exactly architecturally consistent, it looked like part Orange Castle and part german the toe combined the looks which go the same was yet that any built it. the spot. There was visible for miles, so everyone in the valley could see it. Could see how monstrous it was yeah people, so people didn't like it. They called it vulgar looking at an eyesore, so they're not happy with them already. Okay, but Eddie is not close to being done. She's he had plans, with the house no mode dammit cited he was going to build a middle Eastern seemed amusement park to bring tourists to the area wow and is

Turkey, on the kidnapping ride where you take for your children not arrived, they don't know about why the whole time to their bases given, I put the bag on your head. Alright, you wanna go real fast. All the kids. It's boarding school get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get I'll, be back on the ride. To pick you up get out I'll be back in a week, I want to give people and understanding of its heritage entertain, entertain them. That is so ones now one Sunday effort and has taken a drive, and then he sees an island near petulant. It's a rather Baron empty island, perfect for amusement park. lot Iraq a lot of scrub. Five acres quote: it looked like the mountains, severed misshapen digit,

where little grew, but for a lopsided pine tree, one or pine tree. How ok and any thought? Well, that's the perfect location to build. My amusement park. They quickly learn. Island was not zone for anything which many good develop. anyway. He wanted the, I think. known for was the local first nations tribe, mythical creature, the West Bank, which is like a Loch ness type thing that apparently in a cave under the island over Burgo Hogan power. Is one of the canadian move to give tee how go pogo? It's not it's not called the West Bank, That's weird, there's a whole statute to go POGO, you yeah

and I think that was where I sincerely thank that's where I performed and first of all, the Marquis, it's a gold flake. And it's just godlike would be great and a stupor opened up and bomb. I want to see a mood woman, so your baby, like she was like EU word in Havana. Yes, and then I got on stage and as I hit the MIKE there is a hockey game. it puts money in it, and oh Canada its entirety place. I do I do my act. I take my hat off what I love you. I don't care before I came here. They kill you legally

we respect the country. So that's right. We inflated to be the most important thing. You gotta get your clothes So any paid the owner of Ireland, ten thousand dollars and he bought the island is not really a bargain considered. It was a good. You know. Rock cupboard island in local pub is going to eat. His brain owning island Eddie went to a people in detail, our meeting in eighteen. Seventy one. Not really well received. First, he was the guy the big rush hours on the rock on the cliff for me and now in a town. All new plants, one counts, said, Eddie was wearing a quote: Zeus suit. All that is That's how you show up and say you mean business. I doubt I think you I just wearing colored suit in the guys, like a white races, canadian guy, with your fuckin zoo,

suit. Brown guy was a thing like that the mask out, yet it might have mascara trying to figure out. I know I shaped my wardrobe after the mess for years so so they went ahead and explained his plans for the new property rattlesnake Island rise, it would be. All the Moroccan shall do theme park. Oh I was worried. The name would be crazy, but then so then, okay, so let's find the name's fine. Okay, that's a relief, because I was like what is he going to name it? We amusement park, one rolls The tongue you're not gonna, forget that one, even though I forgot what it was called what's out there, How can we shall do theme park there? It is due Lula, great on a shirt, and he said it would bring to whether his cultures is arabian and canadian right, okay

It was also exactly the kind of mulch multiculturalism that Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, was championing at that time. Papa there everyone knows the church, it was bigger than just in Ireland Amusement Park. Eddie quote: I had a vision to do something good for the country. Ok, he told councillors. It would have an eighteen whole. Many golf course which would be partly on the world. as well as on the island that some so Jesus can play. Each whole- would celebrate a different aspect of middle eastern culture like this, it's eighty it would I'm through two manager, great pyramids, every twenty feet. There would be a storyteller. Oh my god. as if, because now, for many goals,

doesn't suck enough. We gotta we gotta slow it down my ball back, not yet out there Three blind traveller MIKE. I thought the windmill was hard to get through. If Babylonia, I don't want to play anymore, I'm going to swim back to the regular I'm going back to Canada. I can't do this. One story, teller would be on a donkey its tell pitching all that at the meeting? This is too specific. You just gotta be like I'm. Building an amusing partners can be great. Another bewailing ok when it we're talking about very donkeys there will be a couple doggies, maybe we'd be but it'll be involved in the storytelling. It's for this retailers

Amira it'll, the story? Maybe it's the suits, you don't know what's going on, but I was sworn in my world should a baby is hot out and sports. Another story, teller would be making bread belong, I mean it will be. to be charming snakes hold on. It's not in here, oh no Are we talking charming leg hip the timing, or just like you really it's like hitting on it you know I'm actually a lot of my good friends or snakes and if you ever want to get together to take your brain a little bit. Events venom pseudo and how you dislocated ends, Europe now I just want a fascinating, so here I am rambling, but I'm just a big fan. and then there were then

this is great, and so it gets weird can think Dave. Yet if there had been noted something strange about director and there was the giant concrete, camel thirty expect all by twenty six feet: wide wisdom go into his stomach and, let's thirty, nine flavors of ice cream inside the guide, in Iraq, a good match them. heads of such a thing: where's the ice creep, yeah This idea is fucking banal. Yes, I can, I do you expect from us having a random belly inspection? we're just supposed to be in the water you we're done. We are leaving Europe racist

I will build a camel with ice cream name it I've got it questions is the camel on the water. No camels, I'm a well go because that would have been we. I also have a question: has he ever been to an amusement park, though? Okay so far, it feels like he's missing the mark. A lot you know, storytellers at many Gulf Arctic ICE cream filled, camel This is what happens if a guy goes to a barren annihilated. Take my takes mushrooms. Well now, I'm back on board I had head trauma recently. Still this was is weird, but it's all telephone- and I know you I did you- have a concussion and I was lay gurney in hospital and I actually Raymond Bird, my life like wagon waves,

and I had this moment went he is the President It was like election they all over. I was I had left before our window. Where things are pretty good, I was Tom Nurse whose what year is it? Who is the president not allowed to tell you that you might go to shock? Forget the doctor, the fuck you to have again the harder you first, you do me. That allows the present. When you have a concussion everything you say after people, though, is this the concussion

I didn't recognize my daughter. I was out whether one night and she came back and she took her person. I got that's my daughter's earth and I start fighting you in Then I realized it was my daughter and she got really upset. and in my head as this is the cause magic trick. I've ever seen I've already on the way they do that again, so Bob Analysis but I'm a daughter so he isn't the president. All that remains is so. I stole a lady's purse, whether you might tell them.

Does your daughters I live in family guy so there is also a swimming pool and restaurants that would serve delicacies from Yemen a cave and pretend submarine it can be a better ride, a ferris wheel in the mixer, maybe cups, now you've got the pyramids and the target donkey talking donkey guy the the Ferris wheel, yeah, It was some opposition from the council. The peach one council agreed to help with an onshore doc for a water taxi would very visitors to the theme park LAO, but it still I guess it's not zone, it is property and with some people on board peachland other people are not sure. I watch with one guy he's like they're gonna? Have boats coming across people be thrown there

diapers in the lake? While can nobody just be like? You should not have a huge camel with ice cream and it's got get away it. Doesn't it there's just some guy worried about diapers viper letter is getting skyrocket, Randy, that's your problem with everything I've just dahlia, they get, God put it and then they start down their diaper. Sir out you say you're. The elaborate may now, but just say, are these baby there's, no or adult Digest Canadians when they got on both put our diapers. It's my understand. Well, if you're eating ice cream out of a camel's stomach, you might want to have a contingency plan. It's because, he's gotta diaper selling section is: where was so? The diapers it's a small medium large. So the people are against. It were very vocal. They wrote letters to local papers to the counsellors, some the amusement park would disrupt the peace and quiet of the area. Others were upset that one of the first

Eddie had done was to begin building a barge made out of tyres. Here's the thing The only difference between him and assertive viable crazy person is, he has money, guess, People with money there eccentric get this guy should have been locked up Hardly anyone in area knew that Ireland was privately owned by Eddie and there was no zoning and those who did no didn't care, but any move forward with his plans. He drafted em up and started building and he didn't I architects. He just walked around the island and started sketching on his own. By the way, my guess is any architect he was meeting with those like I'm absolutely passing. What is your plan would be all in It's a camel with ice cream. These

flavors of ice cream that genius the genius Sluggish concern of all came from a school teacher and conservationists name, Desmond alone. In his opinion, This was desecration of the land and owner was on the town council. He didn't care that purchased the land loan in the council who had already designated the island as a picnic cite the what you know what I do. I wanna go get under that one tree. Just relax? I just. On that rock lay with the tree One Dree have a pair get sandwich under the one leaning pine the very canadian like objection, export picnics come on a good Lord

told reporters that this plan would turn Rattlesnake Island Data Coney Island and he lay The valley and, according to his daughter, wanted it turned into a national park. So too a ridiculous theme park was horrifying and he said, Eddie is the guy who just wanted to make money and didn't care about the land. now a friend who new loans at court does was strongly opposed to the development on Rattlesnake Island and I believe he disliked Eddie until the day passed away, but when they so that law was still alive. if we get it off, so they were Ok, still we miss him you can visit of a life? bracket. It slowly, I didn't die slowly rely by we. I am slowly. We think of you have three. Hours left. How do you feel about Eddie took away my right to picnic,

God given right to have a sandwich on a blanket with some presided. like jump in so what say you hate him to the day you die a bs, but well I don't know how I feel in a few hours, I can't see my opinion. Changing wouldn't mind a little there's camel cream, though that's pause, let that good good turn me around. Maybe It just skirts out of the way. It is I want to say it, but will you gestured, like a huge dawn, was drizzling it on you? Wouldn't you I'd say insinuated hard

We should be a charades team that was magic. I could think I could hang on another day finally got a purpose two words dying, how does it work? oh, oh dear, authority by you really liked him expiring. I'm gonna throw my diaper out hold on. I become what I loved you Eight at all So any had an end engineer, draw up plans for the theme park and according to both Eddie and the engineer was structurally and environmentally sound. a lot of carbon coming out of the gambling ice. Didn't it didn't matter, people protest. Is there

concern about sewage disposal that pollute the water supply. and loan really didn't buy. Annie's engineers report and loan was connected descent. To his brother in law, British Columbia, Health minister, re low for low loaf mark and The letter had been Fred around for other departments of the canadian government, as well as the provincial chief medical officer and the premiers office. Kay the career, Lyra, the premiers distant. Include about people and aroused snake island and the chief A gloves are sent out an internal memo saying they quote, could scotch it by export expropriation, Everyone in the local government seemed on board with ending eddies theme park, idea. It wouldn't be stretch to say this was in part being done because Eddie was not a white guy there, it is there it is,

and they started putting up roadblocks for the development of local government officials began a campaign to stop. There was suddenly an endless stream of red tape and some of it was just made up there made it up as they went along and he suddenly need approval for a sewage system and it was startled bureaucracy the highway. I would ministry blocked access to the fairy doc, the prevention, government retroactively zone, the island, as quote a forest and grazing reserve, they have a tree. I read to be fair and I the animals Lovey rock perfect for raising this car jump down how well the cow has five stomachs and one is a gizzard and its filled with stones and that's right, the other full of ice cream. I believe a phone number snake them Jimmy's, yes, sprinkles in one year and what man? Let's

baseball has to put it- is yeah cool. At one point, municipal affairs tried to stop Eddie by sending him a telegram informing him of an amendment to the pollution act clearly drafted just to thwart him but which hadn't even been passed at that point. It was just intimidation, plain and simple, and he thought it was bullshit and he ignored it the whole time and he just kept building yeah. I want thing built began, I know now you want to be there. So. As far as zoning recent changes have been made that allow local districts to create undefined zoning law so that the federal government was like, let's pass it off to their peoples on their own, but because of bureaucratic nonsense, no I've, got around to make those laws, so they couldn't stop Eddie building as long as he didn't stop construction for more than ninety days,

as long as he didn't. So if he stopped construction and waited ninety days to start up again, then they could stop them, but it was the only black guy he's. Not stopping this man has a dream: yeah. They took it court three times they lost each time, Eddie in June, one thousand nine hundred and seventy two tried to bring several hundred guests as a preview. So he's got some stuff built Scott. I think I think at least one of the pyramids he's got a lot of the golf course built: He's got an empire pit fire pitcher camels go only one home, the budget. Just imagine there's do so. Are you guys are be thrown off, but that's actually appear to hamper by the time we're done, and that is why but this point is she like I'm glad we tried this again. This is just makes sense. I'm glad we took another spin. I can see that you are doubt whatever problems you I like

his new stable Eddie. So he throws this Maybe for its several hundred guess invites- and I am see MP officers came in, because we love cops I came and stayed the entire day on the water taxi dock telling people they shouldn't go to the island ooh, so the fucked up his day, but he keeps them one for it. It keeps building This is very similar to a Billy Jack, a film. You don't hear that a lot. Maybe they base it off, as I feel they did. I think they Tom Laughlin, owes Bill Eddy, some money I'll take it. So so it goes on for three years like this totally lie down and trying to the thing their ground

Eddie down, and he felt the country of Canada was conspiring against. Jim. Do you think he just had one of those feel the dream voices in his head the whole time? I hope so because if you build her Giant ice cream camel. I tried it His people think it's so crazy, going to be weird but they're going to come. You're the only friend I have Skype. Sorry, the camel is going to come. You want the camel yeah, a listen it's just that. I'm alienating everyone around me so much that I fear for real, because I'm urban rural here I dont like when you say Bro, it feels weird. It feels like you're. Okay, just just listen! Okay! So when the camel comes, I'd rather not hear the rest, but ok, it's not going to be white. It's going to be like a nea

Orton just load assets like a sample spoon. It's it's just going to come out. Ok, back to the council there and kids. going to be so happy. I dunno. If they I dunno, if the kids should be over there, should they be the year that no? This is where the kids belong you're in charge. I hope to meet you Sunday, yea, right now, I'm on my island. But if you just look me up, Epstein good. So at this point the Millbank heard all about the delays in the shit with the construction and they pull this loans. The Moroccan I do theme park was dead and I spent

hundred and seventy thousand dollars no way to get it back. He can't pay as bills. His finances are, are exhausted by both because The court costs the fight over the island maiden completely focused on winning the battle. That's all he then focused on and then because of that he neglected his family so finally Loreen and had it for real. This is our data in eighteen. Seventy three she laughed and took the kids. They just had a new baby and she moved the family to Alberta they're here tonight I wouldn't I just wouldn't I just wouldn't you Much. Does the government situation and lawyer, told them he could fight for the kids and win, but

Didn't have any money left quote. My advice is to go to Victoria and kissed there ass and buy them and let them by the island and then go back to Edmonton. Other lawyers like give up take the money go back to your fuckin family. It's done right, so I gave in but the government was not about offer him anything close to what he had already put it. The offer was just forty k, so he rejected it and I was fuckin pest come on. and was really gonna. Build is finally ceo. There then,

so Eddie held a press conference. So yes, of course, why not? I hope you bitches like camels, that isn't how there's gonna be a bunch of camels, because let me tell you pitch sixty four flavors: that's all he is announcing, I'm here to announce something huge, we're doubling the flavor in the camel Joe Cox, one hump, two gox, take that God That's ok with me, who's? The other guy I keep talking, do he's Birds Burke as here. they up and up no well I've spent three years. These are. Freak. came across. I only made one of him he's bad.

I put him on an island sayer. I'm a little turned on getting involved in anything like this say: let's keep it where it is pocus scheme. Sorry, I did a little weird I've been. Gus gets robotics say these having Gus threat. I haven't Gus, do you know Gus, I don't know who he is but I think I wanna hit so he holds a press conference and one reporter shows up yes down front, you again yet you know you any longer we're pretty. Does us he's

colonial capital news in Eddie goes ahead. The press conference first pulled out a birthday cake. And he lit the candles and he said it was very strange children's birthdays and then he blew it out what you wish nevermind we're discharges. What are really sad occurring, the only reporter Eddie said quote. If he were allowed to proceed with its development. He would drink human blood and eight human flesh to mark a black day. For Canada How do you transition for birthday cake to that? What's? Yours is egged way, speaking evading eating things. So the reporter was like. I am glad I showed up to this shit slowdown,

you remember, Sir Kay spoke about again piracy against them by the government, but no and everyone thought TAT, he had lost his mind because he's a dream, blood and eat person, yeah, there's that the conspiracy talk, it's all crazy everybody Obviously eddies Ben Fucking using it over the island battle to areas I ve been a rich guy with a family to now a poor man, the baron island. He had no family, he blew the government's conspire against them. Mostly because the government was literally conspiring against it, it is theme park, but as goals it changed where he wants want to share his culture and make a place where people have fun. He now want to build the Moroccan shall do theme park purely for revenge. So he's. Making fuck you island way on board and its thoughts began to turn the violence.

Laurie knew this and she said it's one of the reasons she left years later. She would write a book about their relationship and sure that any was physically SEC physically abusive sexually crazed, a swindler, but book is also a serious anti muslim hate fast pity, in time, ITALY's as a festival of honour killings and full of a mental is so it's hard to take. What is it seriously Betty am. Recital e said his father's truce. Truth is closer to reality and his mother's truth is the lesser truth they said o eddies In reality, it is not a great here. I heard there is not a great leap says you think. My day

what was the loose cannon? The bird really? She was nuts, at this point. Eddie essentially had one close friend into British Columbia is was Ralph a shooting and Iraq he told Ralph he was going to the Middle EAST for six weeks and there What use his political connections to get support for its theme park cots? He planned or even visit King Abdullah boy, and he was gonna, get Oliver The political connection to write letters saying that he was great supported him and his theme park, and he hoped this would quote. Shame the British Columbia government into letting him bill this park or offer him a better deal K. So he gets how things work

Yes, you get a bunch of letters from a bunch of lebanese part guy leverage and then again Ok, sorry, we didn't know you were great, We apologize so he, to the Middle EAST Africa, letters from lebanese ministers, including former lebanese Prime Minister. I mean our habits and then he flew back Canada and he says the day he got back. Shootin came to his house unannounced, which was very weird, because no one knew he was back yet Kay Eddie said he then decided to test shoot because he thought some was up. He said he'd come back with quote six letter bombs. What a test raises and he told shootin. He needed him to get official arse

MP envelopes, so he gets and the letter bombs and they would get through. Ok now,. Putin's, not anybody. Official he's institute re so shootin Like other sounds good I'll go, get the envelopes it didn't take him long. You came back that same morning with the official level. Ok, so then you're like weight or are you out of your mind? What are you doing? We can't do that Which was even more suspicious to any, and he was to be suspicious, because Eddie been talking and violence this for a little while, as became unravelled, which led the am RCMP to put them under surveillance and then said shootin who was actually an undercover cop to become his friend well, his only friend yet as an undercover cop. Yet you gotta take him where you can get them.

So shootin introduced himself pretending to be an angry ex flight attendant who wanted to revenge on on an airline for firing in partaking money from tickets else. What a dumb back story! What its workers and were exterminated services still like a man like daddy brass going but you're like a flight attendant. Now what he asked you about, that you're gonna need to say you did service three times with the court way. When then you pick up the tab Should the plastic bag, going to know this shit. How do you put on the life? Am I fast the mask Trot, who you put it out? First, the killer, you it's not as I do yes and then what do you do? it, can set down, put Dodgers super for God, like a coke better. we're getting married, only have Pepsi good,

I will come back tomorrow, a hammer. This little more we're gonna get you there. You can't smoke in the bathroom. You can't smoke on that. God damn plane playing in the play, stop hitting that lady seat. I remember, asked permission before you recline, that's how we do it now. Turn around your neighbour, and so may I recline and when he says no go fuck you I I paid. Why did you do? now with this was really got on it. It's a fucking plain and Its move to in choose, God can do images, We need to isolate the cooperatives. Oh god, we can't handle two inches said that now it's all over Twitter, that's my phone!

we need to edges. Are we need two inches or we need doing just what's up David? Nobody like what, with all the come talk I've done that's the one thing that you think quickly so, both over your come talk, Still now Eddie saying he thought the shooting was acting suspicious, isn't completely add up because later that day, Edie after all this, Still goes to eddies house with all the envelopes which were addressed the premier, Lorraine and quote other and sworn enemies. just what's written on the address, other sworn enemies, you'll know what Eddie I know they are ya, know what I mean Eddie He did this to test shootings loyalty which turned out to be

I'd idea because cops are rating right outside the house to arrest him ass soon ass. He walked out that there was a prank chidden reported that Eddie said that you want to get an m for one hundred thousand rounds of ammo and grenades. He said he contacts with an explosives expert in the states, that's easy and and that he had a few passports and had made connections with guerrillas. Okay, now assume, their actual girl isn't real. No, I don't know again, the cocoa so smart very excited because sooner embargoes, or I ll of you?

and I want more ice cream. You know I could cook a Robin Williams as my pal and he met Coco Twitter videos, amazing, but the first day reads: Koga Koga saying and then the second time he met code Go they just she she's signing to Robin and then they, the wranglers, grabbed Robin and pulled them out of the cage and they go he's like what did? What did? What did she say and she said she won't they take you in the back. Those would happen, then, because anything, cocoa Why oh go, and I read I do you ever India gag debris like may I have him, no cocoa get get rabbit, get You get the fuck out of here.

Let me just say I got it. That's a maze that's a real name drop story are arriving, haven't bacon here. If you are in charge you let that happen for this stand a bit Standing up magic, that's an all time. That is amazing, though the video and then they tell Coco, of his passing and Coco is genuinely, but but you I I don't he when he had a heart problem and they they put a a pig valve, and that was like. I was like talking to people we're in and he's like. You know they gave me a pig valve and I was like yo what's wrong with that it goes. Oh, I wanted

the tenacious felt like. I wanted that chimp that rip that woman's face off. I wanted. I wanted that Chimps Val is what is that, and I was like he's okay, It's gonna be okay So way over what Vancouver graphics are so so they they arrest him and with the letters they think that this ties into all the statements he's made, that it makes it worse than physical evidence to go with the threats and they're gonna put away for a long time, but then they open the letters and they're just letters, although

once for the politicians like he said, although Eddie unwrapped each letter and cloth, so it would seem really heavy. He claims this was a prank, so he really did claim. It was a prey. It's a guph, I'm having fun with you guys, so they would think their bombs court. a quote. I want to show them, they were fools, but they hit Eddie. With thirty seven charges. Court document stated the letter bombs were quote. but realistically resemble resembled letter bombs. What and that he told shootin that they were indeed letter bombs, but Eddie said he meant they were bombs in the sense that the letters when big impact wow. That is like he meant that. He meant that they were dough is that IRAN has been ruled by a bomb. They pushed for judge to declare Eddie Insane bold, move.

what evidence do they have? the judge judgment not given bail and he spent six months in jail where he worked. As a barber. things yells circling life, so prison was hell prison is a nightmare, is dream home, was destroyed and is suspicious fire the insurance? It will form had reached him in jail, so we had. No coverage shows houses, crazy. Over months, several court ordered psychiatrists testified that Eddie was delusional and believe quote. There is conspiracy on behalf of certain people in the government too, for it is business attempts really crazy, Above all the evidence. True one doctors, that this behaviour is due to a cultural background, quote that accepts violence as a way of life.

While there was a recess during a hearing, the government once again pressured Eddie to take the forty thousand for the sale of Rattlesnake Island, which is not thing to do to a man. If just don't try to declare legally insane because that means it would hold up where the government did anyway now Eddie just wanted Oliver any thought it would help. So he agreed to sell his island dammit quote. They join for fifteen minutes and make, and they brought me the paper and asked assign I will have sold it back for a dollar anything to get get the hell out of there, but he didn't get that didn't. Let him go. for their doctors said: Eddie had paranoid schizophrenia and other psychosis, so yeah they're, all they're, all lined up against and bread. He was constantly being moved between different jails. Pretty much everything you have is gone, but as the case one on his

threats were clearly either delusional or hyper hyperbole and charges kept being dropped and dropped and dropped, and so by the time the case was done by the time they rated to prosecute. He was only charged with one misdemeanor possessing to child sized brass knuckles who makes brass knuckles for kid. It's the lebanese think like like from Bugsy Malone right. Millions at issue here is why this based on racism as yet they had a problem with his camel and they're like you can't build a camel, it's gonna take away from our

Giant sea serpent, stags turn He had bought the child size, brass, knuckles, fifteen cents and Lebanon to give to a suddenly that's just to get that with actually thirty buddy. I lived there No time in hand and lay still said, the mother was the crazy on society. I wanted to plead guilty of this point of the misdemeanor and have it over with and then he'd get a fine and walk out of court. Sure that certainly is what would have happened in any normal situation, but the judge found Eddy in soon insane and insane duties, beliefs of a conspiracy and crazy claims that he was a danger to the people. He threatened particular govern officials, even though all of the that's our, even though all of the case fell apart at set there. I mean amazing, to make a person.

paranoid about that shit and be like you seem a little parents. Are you ok, but. The one thing he wasn't crazy about is the thing they attacked him. Yeah guess they are illiterate and their literally greek. There are literally still doing it. You're doing it now saying goes against the Iraqi. My conspiracy against wilder dissidents, brazier in the corridor right so Is he was put into a notorious mental facility river view you got some alarm and I sat out.

where he was a remedy like William Lippy who went on a killing spree landscape. The ninety seven do, but he said he was with literally fucking. You know, people out of their mind right, Eddie cut Harry did arts and crafts. He built a very detailed miniature plywood glue model of a development which he told was a mock up of rattlesnake island. Never let it go an attorney who held helped. Many people are stuck in a brute river view. Robert gardener took up eddies case and got em released after twelve. Jesus Eddie was under the impression part of the deal was that he had to leave the country.

We know that wasn't part of the deal, but clearly they someone told him right so before leaving and he took his plywood miniature model to a construction, firm, called sin, cloyd metal products and he pretended he was a lebanese businessman and showed the model to the president of the firm who became very excited about building this project overseas to any commenced. The president. He was going to raise millions of dollars through his connections in the Middle EAST and they would build it in Lebanon and the guy. The head of the firm, actually consider opening up an office in Beirut to help facilitate this allowed. Eddie to get to Lebanon and Op Operate

A man who had an actual project going on- and this allowed him to spend a lot of time at the canadian consulate going over plan ray. He also convinced his cousins in Lebanon to help him and then on February. 23Rd he's been there about six months, one thousand nine hundred and seventy six adding his cousins enter the underground parking lot of the canadian embassy in Beirut and he was holding a cave. Forty, seven Jesus Christ, this causes all had guns is again what dark yeah. Maybe it wasn't kidding about the letter bombs. He told two of his cousins to go to the third floor. Another cousin was told to hold the elevator while another went with Eddie to the second floor. Eddie charged up the stairs through the steel worse at pointed and a k is eighteen, forty, seven at the first guy he saw who turned out to be an old guy who was just sitting in a chair waiting for a visa.

Eddie quote: stand up put your hands on your back and get your face to the wall. The man did not know what was happening and just sat there. And then Eddie repeated in Arabic and the guy fell to his knees and begged for gods, mercy, embassies staff came out to fight and what all the commotion was and they discovered we're under some sort of attack, one staff member, admit Eddie a few. I'm since he arrived in Lebanon, they discuss how we could sell construction materials on behalf of a canadian manufacturer and the staff or look at when is this a joke and yes, another pray. Do what do you care yeah, it's so for it would have been so bad that just let them make is park. Yeah. I totally they just want the guy want to make a park Eddie the guy with the butt of is a k and then

let everyone into a stairway onto the third floor there on twenty diplomats, staff and canadian citizens on the third floor as cousins. Already had more hostages, salty other thirty three hostage- but the one that he wanted. The I don't know how to say this charge a day affairs to the arab region was not there any quote where Sullivan staff he's not here, Eddie Bulshit. for my apartment? Because for the last six months, Eddie I've been living across the street. From the building watching all of the kid, even staff and what they did constantly. Oh, my god, it's very normal. No so any new. There is only one place saw them could be hiding and that was in his office. They went to the office and its empty, but then he sees a pet leg sticking out. He sees it.

Ik leg pant leg. Apparently he had a pant leg and a parrot okay yeah. They are on her hair. You fucking shit and a pause on the leg and tells them to come out and so Sullivan crawls out on his hands and knees, but he took it to where the other hostages were quote, if anyone as a weapon to throw it down otherwise you'll be wiped out. No one had one Eddie, then lowered his gun and he said to solve and quote I didn't come here to hurt you, because if any of you get hurt be the first to lose. I came here to ask for your help. Here's my story Eddie started by telling him that he was a descendant of the hammer dynasty. Oh my god, rule the german three thousand any we close at seven. Can we maybe there? to be nice. so it doesn't doll story of his life.

And after illicit Eddie story, Sullivan called Ottawa and Eddy demanded to speak with Prime Minister Trudeau, but that didn't happen. Sorry is putting on black face big event, but eleven was given permission to negotiate with Eddie on the other demands that he had now occurring? the times there was a public apology from the crown and from the psychiatrist declared him insane five honey, Thousand dollars, that's a good way to get an apology from a psychiatrist that you're not insane. I was so mistaken Eddie what a crazy thing for me to think any let the hostages go. Only one in five hundred thousand dollars for the island. He wanted a pardon from the lebanese government for what he was doing right now, when you're negotiating for your current crime that we want to anyone in custody of kids. Surely is gonna get that either way what

the cousins doing that you like. What's in it for them, it's I don't know, and can you be a car and asked for maple syrup? and we demand a thing of maple syrup. The two things keep: let's not get crazy so the canadian government says they never considered the demand for the kids but Lee whose fourteen at the time hardest mom talking on the phone to the canadian Minister of Defence, Lee quote were scared. We thought we were going to get traded and would have to go back there. We were just Are we get traded for hostages? Oh my god, hey guys. is daddy another

A government officials said she was told that day that a plane was actually waiting to take Loreen and the children to Lebanon. Save another government said they did not. They were clearly negotiating wow, now there's total panic in Lebanon, because Lebanon is on the brink of a civil war that amusement parks. I feel, analyze and so my things than seems crazy said nobody, nobody knows who's doing this or what's happening The militias start role down towards the canadian embassy They show that from also all the militias from all sides shut up. They they had rocket launchers rocket launchers. They had tanks thanks to their literally in the neighborhood, like all squaring off signal.

Ethic and everyone's getting concerned that if it contains much longer, Eddie, might literally be responsible for kick off the lebanese civil war Judy Amusement Park gonna get that into your belt, let until the year let him fill this the way how how did the lebanese civil or stopping okay so is a really big camel. Have you ever regard to the snake charmers? Wouldn't that be somethin You ran away to play through for bed, debate, bread debate like me by the wave dial down the ideas, allow yeah they would let us build a part in its mood, God you like manager, got great bigger dead, don't mention the snake. I've got for the big closer if he agreement

it's gonna be a big hockey stick and there's ice cream inside their onboard. Beaver. So after fourteen beekeepers fourteen hours that demands are agreed to. He gets amnesty taking the hostages allow he could return to Canada and and fight for compensation of his land. You know he's ready, turning wines to unite the government agreed to an apology, He was only find a very small amount for what he had done, but any came back to Canada, a free man, then I really did what kind of that The most canadian negotiation ever like any other you'd, be like give us the gun, you dumb fuck our right now, none of it, but it again or like a deal's, a deal to look. He was good. Work come on over good work

we've got to apologize to this guy sorry it's well, then it back to the same valley, an errand How people are alike by was hard By like they were now they're like respecting their like, the guy had a hard time. We will have great. This is not how you curve and violence? It's a feel, good story where everybody wins. So he he returns. He built a small house after buying some money from friends and after a while finds a lawyer. One who love to take on the establishment, how said only one elevator that time of year it doesn't go up or down because there's just one floor, but we got delivered a good day. Push about bridging on it, because I know open it's a ranch housing. They are its cost, a lot of money,

So after ten years, his case was heard before the British Columbia Supreme Court in Vancouver on August seventh, one thousand nine hundred and eighty six, and when it was over quote Justice, Gordon Mckinnon delivered a devastating judgment, including the government had I am against any hey, more and harass them into poverty and a mental institution wow the Judge wrote a seventy five page: o thou judge, judgment slamming the government quell. They to sell the property at a low price during his criminal proceedings was unconscionable. At least six government departments were part of the conspiracy. The actions were quote,

highly improper, illegal and even cruel. Eddie was awarded a hundred and fifty five thousand dollars, but then there is a further investigation by a provincial ombudsman and he got another hundred forty thousand dollars and a public apology from the government now area. Fifty six he got married again divorced again. Too late. He used the money to build CASA, hey more a bed and breakfast and restaurant. It was like a small version of his island plan, he would create great guest sometimes in arab style robes. We ran a yak that has three eyes creams in it. He had a statue made of himself pointing at Rattlesnake Island

yeah. The middle finger roused again is now was now part of a park ready for the next twenty five years, mythologies himself and truly believe too, but he would he would be taught to children in canadian textbooks. that's very possible, but it was pretty well just forgotten, as spent recent years trying to get writers, turning story, no movie, at John Lazarus wrote a play about his life, but after nine eleven said it was really difficult to make people feel for a guy who took over the canadian embassy with guns. You did it, it's a it's

I'm like you feel, like you have a concussion again. If dog day, afternoon was Canadian a lot happier. Research in that, so good yeah Only Canadians are like we get it there was a guy. I it's fine where's, our back to clearly sorry where the bad guy we're sorry we didn't let you will do. We're sorry. Would you like to meet the cast of Degrassi? at to make. This is already a spike.

Wasn't a word rang like here came back and the like. Some government took over a place right if human labor

the terror regime would be totally ever really, but back then there like and he got mad. He is here with some other gotta. Here is disgruntled disgruntled, but even then like even if terrorism had been a thing or terrorists had been a word, I dont think you would be over used or you know, manipulated and away where you would just start beings at a full, but just for no reason. No, I don't think that would be. I mean them emulation on that level. A minnow it would take, sociopaths actually push them. Throw and make that a wrinkle in our society, and you know some There continues and snowballs and seems like it's never ending because its perpetuated by the people that are in charge Flowers me crazy.

Oh god, considering the shit. You have shared, I'm terrified, Do you know the dinosaur on the way the Palms Yang, when it is a pity we do in this area, so I went in there and now its own.

These Christians that believe that their it was created in seventy six days and they have like they have a night on a dinosaur and Are they suggesting that night dinosaurs arrive at the same time and there is a german a chip, a real alive, to know no, never be weird, and then so I went in there and says now its own by these christians- and I was up in the top, The dinosaur- with a woman who is, I would say, however, to say artistic, and so She wanted me to take artistic I'm trying to make me look like the vigour, but the reason I was fine with this.
