(upbeat music) - Trash. (upbeat music) Trash. - All right, we're gonna tell you where Lemmy's ashes are gonna be displayed in a couple of weeks. But first, this is some, I think it'll be some good binge watching stuff. It starts streaming Friday. This is that series about the Canadian, the great Canadian maple heist. It's a dark comedy series, but it's based on a true thing. They're gonna have six episodes of this, and it's the great Canadian maple syrup heist. That's not the name of the series. I'll tell you the name of the series in a second, but it's described as a dark comedy. A tough middle-aged syrup farmer turns to crime when the government threatens to take away everything that she owns. Now, the great Canadian maple syrup heist was carried out in the years 2011 and 2012. Nearly 3,000 tons of maple syrup was taken from a storage facility in Quebec, like the maple syrup reserves. The facility was operated by the Federation of Quebec maple syrup producers. And over the course of several months, 9,571 barrels of syrup were stolen. And a suspected insider job. The syrup was stored in unmarked white metal barrels inspected only once a year. The thieves used trucks to transport the barrels to a remote sugar shack, where they siphoned off the maple syrup, refilled the barrels with water, then returned them to the facility and-- That's gotta be a slow process siphoning out a whole 55-gallon drum of maple syrup. That takes some time. The six-episode series follows the described-- she's described as a tough middle-aged maple syrup farmer who, you know, turns to crime, teams up with her hot-tempered Bostonian mobster and a mild-mannered French-Canadian security guard to carry out the multi-million dollar heist on Quebec's maple syrup reserves. And again, based on that true story, and it starts streaming on Amazon Prime on Friday, and it's called the sticky. - The sticky. - The sticky, that's it. That's what they're calling this thing. Hey, I'll watch that. That'll be, I think that'll be funny. And Lemmy's ashes are going to be displayed at his favorite strip club. Lemmy died back in 2015, ashes of Lemmy had-- - It's right about this time, too. It was like a Christmas New Year or somewhere there. - The Lemmy ashes have had a place of prominence in some of his favorite old haunts, like the rainbow barn grill in LA, at a spot in Nottingham, England, and in France, hell-fest in France. Now, an urn containing some of Lemmy's ashes will be displayed at String Fellows, one of his favorite strip clubs in London. The Motorhead manager said that String Fellows, quote, always had a special place in Lemmy's heart. He loved the relaxed environment, and he certainly loved the view. String Fellows has had a special ceremony plan to honor Lemmy that will take place December 18th with Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell. Phil, Phil. He is set to attend that event. - How is it that Lemmy is not in the rock and roll Hall of Fame? - I know, he's huge oversight. - They gotta put Lemmy in, well. It's only appropriate then, Brad, that our first Christmas song of the season be Lemmy, Brad and John, 92.9, K-I-S-N. (upbeat music) ♪ Out of all the rain did you know you're the master man ♪
