## Episode Summary

They said there was a "honkin' protest" in Canada but I didn't know it was that big. Anyway apparently honking your horn works so even if you're not evil right wing guy you should use your horn to protest. There are no jokes about being "horny" in this episode.

## Idea Details

* Idea: Honk for Freedom
* Creator of idea: Drew
* Purpose of idea: *\*Josiah and Drew watch a video called '10 Hours of Car Horns Honking'\**You hear that? Do you hear that? (Josiah: "Yeah, is this to do with the uh... politics?") Well, it's to do with this episode of Globe Hell Warning, and obviously something has been going on in Canada with the honking -- the truckers are've been honking, there's been a siege of -- (Josiah: "I heard people t-- People were saying that -- I wanted to ask you about that, actually, cause I was away last week. Everyone said it was a *honkin'* protest, and I thought they were just talking about how *big* it was!") No, they're -- what they are doing -- the fl-- That's very funny. Um, the entire point of this protest is to -- was to occupy the city of Ontario, the -- um with their trucks, with their farm equipment, and to honk incessantly until eventually the government acquiesced and dropped all vaccine mandates. Um, I've prepared a little, short video to explain the situation. (Josiah: "They did -- So they did. And it worked, right?") It worked. *\*Drew plays a video called 'Canada: Ottawa declares state of emergency as truckers blare horns against Covid-19 restrictions'\** (Josiah: "You made this video??") Mhm. (Josiah: "You were there??") Yep. (Josiah: "That -- so you did some -- like, cause journalism is a dangerous pr-- that's dangerous!") I did actual journalism this week. (Josiah: "You could've been killed!") Yeah! This was very dangerous. People were being threatened, uh pe-- members of the media were being threatened, their lives were being threatened. Residents of Ottawa are furious at the non-stop blaring of horns. (Josiah: "Well that's -- there's no horns in the video! There's literally --") Traffic disruption and harassment after more than weeks of protests. (Josiah: "How are we supposed to take the news seriously when they say 'non-stop horns' and the video has none horns?") Protesters have said they won't leave until all mandates and coronavirus restrictions are gone. The police have called the protest a siege and have asked for reinforcements. (Josiah: "Maybe it was just rush hour. Was this --") I don't know. It sounds like -- (Josiah: "Was this 5 PM?") I mean, it does sound like a busy street. (Josiah: "Yeah, I heard about that. Uh, the honkin' protest.") So, if you don't know, um the government has enacted the Emergency Action Plan, um which just shows, you know, how the honking has sorta leveled up everything. (Josiah: "So what are you saying now? You li-- so you li-- so you -- so you were there to film that. And you held up a swastika.") No, I did not! No, I did not. I was there as a -- (Josiah: "You didn't hold up someone with a swastika at gunpoint to tell them to put it away? You had supported them instead?") No, because I'm a member of the media; I can't get involved in any way. I have to stay -- I can't -- (Josiah: "So what are you saying now?") I'm saying that -- (Josiah: "Honking works! You're saying honking works!") Yeah! I don't agree with these -- (Josiah: "That's -- even earlier, your body language was l-- uh it kinda was like you were honking some uh... breasts!") Well that's not -- I mean, that's -- yes, -- (Josiah: "Honking: it works! And it got my attention! And it works!") It works! And guess what? It's been used for a long time, and not just for protesting, Josiah.
* Timetable: The right-wingers have already used Honk for Freedom to get rid of vaccine mandates so the idea is currently in effect in retaliation against them.
* Idea details:
	+ Since the Canadian government caved to the truckers' demands due to their honking, we could instead use honking for good causes like getting rid of racism.
	+ Dogs and bear cubs can protest now by honking a car horn.
	+ We can get whatever we want now by honking. This even includes bypassing the Canadian government and going straight to The Hague for things like getting global space communism, ending late capitalism, and getting communism.
	+ There will be a new DMV, which is the Democratic-Socialist Majority Vote. You will have to get a license from there by doing a shooting range where sometimes a robber pops up and sometimes it's Elizabeth Warren. As long as you don't shoot Elizabeth Warren, then you pass and get your license and then you get your horn. This means that nasty, disgusting right-wingers don't get to drive anymore.
	+ There will be background checks at the Democratic-Socialist Majority Vote.
	+ Right-wingers will still be able to have their trucks because we still need them to deliver our items. But their trucks will only have a little bike bell on it because a little bell isn't going to change anyone's mind.
	+ Without a Horn Interpreter (see Mini Episode #2 below), the meaning of the honk's protest will be demonstrated by just writing it down.
	+ Honking your horn essentially replaces voting.
		- Note: It presumably does not replace VODEing.
	+ The horns must be attached to a vehicle.
	+ Many more people will die in car accidents now because they will either be unable to hear trucker's bike horns warning them that they are barreling down the highway or be misconstruing the meaning of the horns of drivers of hybrid cars warning that they are about to T-bone someone. However, we will put out propaganda to make it become more erotic for people to be getting mangled in a car accident.
	+ Sex tourists will walk up and down the highway and participating in any wreckage they see because the car accidents will now all be erotic.
	+ Teachers will be allowed to have blue hair now. They will also be able to tell their students about their polyamorous lifestyle.
	+ If someone is able to mimic a honking noise really well, they will be eliminated because they are too dangerous.
	+ Great Britain will be sinked because left is right and right is left there. Georgia will be saved but no one else.
	+ We will still need to be careful about honking too much because we might get pulled over by the police.
	+ Only good apple police will be allowed to have horns but bad apple police will not.
	+ New vehicles will come out every year with more annoying horns so people can never become too accustomed to the sound and complacent to the meaning behind the honking.
	+ If the government restructures so that they don't/can't hear honking, then we'll figure that out when we get there. Maybe we'll use flashing or lights or maybe we'll use guns or something like that and storm the building.

## Mini Episodes

* Idea: Me-Dia
* Creator of idea: Josiah
* Purpose of idea: Can I do a quick side-episode, really quick? Two minutes long, max? (Drew: "Absolutely. Go ahead.") We dismantle all protests by making every single person a member of the media. (Drew: "There you go.") Because the media is -- we *are* all the medi-- *You*Tube? *i*Phone? It's the 'me' generation. 'Meme'! 'Meme' is just the word 'me' twice. We're all part of the *Me*-Dia. Everyone's media, you're not allowed to take a side. Done. (Drew: "There you go. Simple episode. See you next week.") Well that was a -- that's a new segment called Mini Ep-- uh, well, I don't know what it's called. But it's a new thing where we do a quick mini episode inside of the episode. Back to you. (Drew: "OK. Thank you.")
* Timetable: This is already in effect because we are all part of the Me-Dia, with our *You*Tube and *i*Phone, as the me generation. All protests are now dismantled.
* Idea details:
	+ Everyone on Earth is a member of the media, thereby dismantling all protests because you are not allowed to take a side. This is the 'me' generation, so we're all part of the Me-Dia.
	+ Some examples of the Me-Dia are *You*Tube and *i*Phone.

* Idea: Horn Interpreter
* Creator of idea: Josiah
* Purpose of idea: I mean, we -- was there, like, a -- was there a horn interpreter in Ottawa that -- How did they even know that they were honking cause they wanted the vaccines to be ended? (Drew: "Well, because they wrote it down! They wrote it down on a manifesto or something like that. That's what they usually have for protests.") Cause we could simplify it a lot more if someone was a Horn Interpreter who could just understand what you're trying to say with your honk. Maybe it's Morse code. (Drew: "I mean, that's a good idea!") Should we do another Mini Episode about it? (Drew: "S-- yeah, let's do another Mini! Go ahead; take it away!") Well there's just a new kind of person who hangs out on street corners and interpret-- They're kind of like an empath but just for horns and they uh interpret the honks and can tell if someone is in distress or if somebody's just feeling a bit gwumpy and they interpret the horns and help them out at each intersection. End of Mini Episode. (Drew: "Well, there we go. That's another great ep-- Mini Episode.") Back to you.
* Timetable: Horn Interpreters will presumably go into effect immediately since the only thing that will be needed is for a new type of person to be able to interpret honks and then for one of them to stand at every intersection in the world to help those in need.
* Idea details:
	+ There will be a new kind of person who hangs out on street corners and interprets honks. They will be like an empath but just for horns. It may be something along the lines of Morse code.
	+ Horn Interpreters will be able to know if someone is in distress or if somebody is just feeling a bit gwumpy. Then they will help out that person.
	+ Horn Interpreters will be at each intersection in the world.

## Devil Play

* Josiah played devil that one of these nasty piece of shit right-wingers is driving their truck to deliver us our cargo and they need to use their horn the traditional way because, perhaps, there is a woman with a baby in a bonnet slowly crossing the highway unaware that this trucker is barreling down and unable to stop in time and the woman and baby are unable to hear the dinging of the bike bell. He gave an alternate possibility of a powerful leftist with a horn in their hybrid car who is about to T-bone someone in an intersection and they honk their horn but the other person says, for instance, 'Oh yeah, I agree, \*honk\* we should legalize all drugs now.' He asked how we prevent traffic issues.
	+ Drew admitted there would be some blood and some people who are gonna be killed because of this, as well as more accidents and more pedestrians getting hit by vehicles who will certainly have no way to survive against a semi-trailer or something similar. He expressed that it's just part of life.
	+ Josiah offered that the silver lining could be that maybe they bring back a David Cronenberg *Crash (1996)* scenario and put out propaganda to make it become more erotic for people to be getting mangled in a car accident. He suggested that perhaps sex tourists could be walking up and down the highway and participating in the wreckage.
	+ Drew agreed with this.
